[Abandonded] "Man Is The Warmest Place To Hide"

[The Philosopher]

noob question.... when do we know the mod or A mod is updated .. does the date of the first page change or not?

Well depends on how the author of the post works, recently i showed some images of the new weapons in the next update

[theroguemonk]

any of you played the thing game on old console? i love that old game so much

[Jarewill]

Could the shotgun be made to not pump every time it's selected?
For the first time it's good, but it would be nice if it was one time only.
Sometimes I want to select a shotgun and use it and not wait an extra second.

And also what's the deal with the two "backpack" belts the player starts with?
They give a lot of shells, but barely any bullets.

a nice mod for the DarkDoom mod

I actually used darkroom in my video

[Whoah]

Ooooooo this mod is cool. I always thought a doom mod based on The Thing would be cool, and this certainly doesn't disappoint. Couple suggestions though, based on about a half hour of playing:

-The shotgun pumping every single time it's selected needs to go. It's unnecessary, slows the player down, and feels way too "action"-y to fit the tone of the mod.
-On a similar topic, the shotgun's firing sound feels kinda weak, and could use a little more oomph.
-The option to burn corpses to prevent them from getting back up or spawning scuttlers would be a very cool mechanic.
-The reload animations for some guns could use some more bells and whistles, even if it's just manipulating offsets. Though more sprites and detailed animations would be great.
-This could be just me, but the player's hands combined with the use of ketchup give way too much of a Brutal Doom vibe, and kinda put a damper on the horror atmosphere. Perhaps different assets for the gore and/or different hands could work better.
-This is a nitpick, but the fact that some of the sprites are using the same names as vanilla sprites creates some issues with brightmaps.
-The marine chatter on the PDAs could stand to be quieter or have a longer delay between voice clips, because while they do certainly help the ambiance, the frequency and volume quickly makes things sound more chaotic than I would like. A bigger variety of clips would be cool too.

And that's all the suggestions and criticisms I got! Don't get me wrong though, I really enjoyed my time with this mod, and I am very excited to see this develop

- Yeah probably i will remove it
- I will replace the sounds with the ones from CS 1.6 in the next version
-What weapons specificaly?
-I will not replace the hands or the gore, maybe i will add a sleeve to the hand sprites but bothing more
- Hmmm i will look ove that
- Maybe is ignorance but i dont know how to lower the volume on the sounds, do you know of a way? Also there is 2 types of PDA with different chatters maybe i will add more in the future
- About the corpses, sounds like a good idea but my decorate skills are not good enough, maybe i will look into BD destroyable corpses to have an idea

Thanks for having fun with the mod!

I was thinking that pretty much all of the reloading animations across the board could use a facelift, since most of them just kinda move down, make a noise, then move back up. I believe you can lower the volume through the SNDINFO lump, but the ZDoom wiki should have your answer. And I think the addition of a sleeve to the hands would be cool. Hell, I think the addition of various snow-related things would be pretty cool, like snow, people wearing big winter coats instead of doom marine armor, maybe some wind sounds for ambiance or even a new skybox. Dr Cosmobyte's Nightshift mod is a solid example of what I'm talkin' about

I was thinking of using the Artic wolf player sprites but that would also mean that i would need to replace all of the dead marines sprites and the Dying Marine ones
