Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
Hey, is the Doom pistol supposed to be really slow when holding mouse 1? Also, in Heretic the staff is always selected first when it should be the gauntlets. Also, if it isnt any hassle, that "reload canceling" feature was pretty cool IMO.

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
Probably not, though this can be fixed by opening the file in slade, going to the zcsript folder, clicking on doom1.zc, and editing the pistol setting "PISG B 6 A_FirePistol;" to "PISG B 2 A_FirePistol;" or whatever number you desire.PandaDoomer wrote:Hey, is the Doom pistol supposed to be really slow when holding mouse 1?

My problem is that the settings never stay changed, and I have to re change them every time I open GZdoom

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
It is in the changelog. Cvars are set to read only. I can change it with the next update. I will see what I can do about the pistol and weapon slot priorities.

Version 1.64 released
In order to meet all demands, I have brought back interruptable shotgun reloads, this time however it's optional and off by default. With this, full functionality of the original release has been restored and unless severe problems are found, I consider this the final release for this project.
CHANGELOG v1.64
[DOOM] Option to interrupt shotgun reload animations (removed feature from v1.22 and earlier)

Version 1.65 released
Took care of the sound problem with the shotgun firing sound being cut off too early when using interrupting reload. Now also available in Chex. However, I removed fast reloads since the purpose of this mod should only be that weapons switch faster, but firing speed should always stay the same.
CHANGELOG v1.65
[DOOM/CHEX3] Removed option for fast shotgun/Large Zorcher reload
[DOOM] Fix for shotgun sound being stopped too early when interrupting reload
[CHEX3] Added option for interruptable Large Zorcher reload

Version 1.66 released
Hopefully we will end with these daily releases after this one! Now the interrupted Doom shotgun reload is as good as it can possibly get, achieved by splitting DSSHOTGN into a firing and pump action sound. This way, no sound interruptions occur when you switch away from the shotgun while it is firing. The split sound may not be 100% identical to the original one, but definitely close enough so you won't mind. To top it off, when you DON'T choose interrupted reloads, the game will use the unsplit sound (DSSHOTGN). Happy Valentines Day, everybody!
CHANGELOG v1.66
[DOOM] Improved interrupted shotgun reload by splitting fire and pump action sounds (only if needed)

Is it possible we can get a patch for this mod to work with valiant? https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/level ... ds/valiant

No because Valiant uses Dehacked. There's a Vaccinated Edition that removes the Dehacked and allows mods.

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
Really epic mod you've got here, good work.
But would it be possible to make it combatable with Smooth Doom?
That would be the epicest combo I think.

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
For the decorate version it should be possible since firing animation is pretty much left untouched. As for the dehacked version that's out there (vsmooth.wad)... I doubt it.
Smooth Weapons Enhanced might be a good mod to receive this option.

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
I use this mod pretty religiously but noticed it didn't have support for wadsmoosh. I think I've successfully added it and would like to make it a pull request to the original. Is there a repository where its hosted?

Re: Responsive Weapons + Faster Weapon Switching
Not gonna lie, in my opinion this is THE best quality of life mod for doom so far. The change is simple but once you have it, you never wanna go back
