The Guncaster - 3.888b

[SmisterMandSand]

Hexen does not want to launch the first level for me when run with the newest version of the mod. It will immediately abort to console when starting a new game. It works fine when I skip to the second level through console, though.

"Called from GC_UniversalKey.SetupKeyBullshit at Guncaster.pk3:zscript/items/keyz.txt, line 118
Called from GC_WorldEventHandler.WorldThingSpawned at Guncaster.pk3:zscript/gc_events.txt, line 323"

Strife also returns a fatal error on launch.
"Script error, "Guncaster.pk3:zmapinfo.txt" line 100:

Do the weapon shop and the Thotkeeper voice on the OP page still work?

[cubebert]

I believe that the weapon shop still works with the latest version, but I don't know about the alternate voice for Sabbatha, since I rarely use her as the shopkeeper.

[baddude1337]

Now I've played a bunch of maps with it, boy is this update fun! Super congrats to everyone involved on another stellar release.

Here's my thoughts on some stuff:

Removed Bits:
Wyvern Idol - I can certainly see why they're gone, though I will miss them. If they ever do make a comeback, perhaps as a instant activation alternative to the invulnerability powerup?
Removed Molten Armor - Not too essential as the armour is powerful anyway. Would be nice if it worked a bit like hammerspace though - maybe every 10/15 armours you get you get a molten armour, or maybe even hammerspaces do?
Removed Strider's Lantern - Can't say I'm too fussed, I rarely noticed the projectile thing anyway as most things are dead by the time they shoot you.
Removed Gladius Barrel - Again, one that I don't notice gone.
-Removed Powersuit Autocannon - I must admit I do miss it and was a lot of fun to use. If it ever does come back, perhaps a bit like the ironblast, you have to sacrifice a weapon to equip it and it uses ammo, as if you are mounting it? Augur would be the most logical one, especially as it's description says it was mounted to tanks.
Removed Arbiter Module - No complaints. As cool as it was, I never used it as it lagged so hard.
Removed Splitter Shield - Nope, never noticed either, especially as Sandman trumps the regular minigun.
Removed rejuvenation items - No loss there either.

Mechamaker:
Absolutely insanely powerful, as it should be. Love the new sprites (especially that equip animation, damn!) and how the moveset is a fusion between both with the shoulder charge and magic powered guns. Only criticism really have is the missile launcher lags like nothing else.

New Mourning Glory:
I love it! Nice fast rate of fire, still keeps the radiated rounds at the cost of two shots. Ammo sharing is also great as RNG on the old rocket spawns usually meant you were short on 1 type of rocket. At present it is missing for purchase from the weapon shop though.

Voidwalker Changes:
Having it's own power regen bar is a great idea and much appreciated. I also noticed I crushed enemies less while riftwalking, and converting enemies seemed a bit easier.

Balance Changes:
I do like the changes overall (the health on Deadmaker was always kinda nuts), though I think in some cases you are starved of ammo a bit too much. In a few mapsets I hardly got any pistol or machinegun ammo, forcing me to pretty much just use the shotgun. Hammerspace in particular feels less useful as you barely get anything from it.

[Gourry]

A small bug of when loading from a save with draugh active; has the icon but nowhere in sight and shows the book inactive.

[m_falcone]

OK, new update seems good but also loses some of the good stuff it had before. For example, Why the backpack nerf, I used to love getting obscene amounts of ammo and going to town on slaughternaps. Now you get them per 3 backpacks? Backpacks aren't even that common. Removing the stuff like splitter shield and wyvern idol is meh. I didn't even notice that. But all in all good update and a hearty thanks to Keksdose for the camera guided emperor.

[Yelso]

I just found something called explosive mode that is toggleable from the weapon shop menu, what does it do besides the particle effects on and off toggle of the closed fist and open hand with sparkles, this option has the hand with fire on it.

[rhyrhygogo]

My problem seems to have been fixed since I used a new launcher all I hope now is that my PC won't explode since I'm gonna be playing sunlust
I'll keep ya'll updated if I encounter trouble

[Talon1024]

Is it just me, or is Mana regeneration broken? Never mind, I just didn't notice the "Mana regeneration" option in the gameplay options menu right away.

Also, some keys in Adonis: Escape from Urania can be picked up, but they don't show up on the status bar.

[cs89]

Somewhere better, there are fewer activable items within this mod.
I don’t often use every item on the inventory, I use one or two of items just in case when it's very necessary.
The Wyvern Idol artifact which spawned the tiny wyvern was really a little too OP, especially when there were 2 of those creatures on the battlefield.
I will unleash the power and firearms of Cygnis when I find a compatible Heretic wad with new maps.

[Rowsol]

Why not just limit active idols to one? I don't like their removal. It was a fun part of the game and could easily be nerfed if need be.
The shoulder mount for the powersuit was great and it was a unique part of the suit like the other suits have addons. Just make it use ammo and be done with it, why remove it?

It doesn't really matter what I think but as much as I like the mechasuit it's going to take a lot for me to update this mod now.

[baddude1337]

While playing the Akeldama WAD, I ended up getting a VM abort on trying to load MAP15. Trying to change map in console to another map also causes the same VM abort:

[Tesculpture]

Sorry, but I have noticed a couple of bugs too:
-In the Guncaster section of the main "Customise Controls" menu (not the abridged "Mod Controls" accessible from the main menu), you can still bind a key for Rejuvenation items.

-The "Hard-on Mode" option still exists in "Gameplay Options", despite both things it affected (Wyvern Idol and Powersuit Autocannon) being removed.

-In Heretic, the Healing Pot and Healing Vial jitter up and down slightly, as if a frame of their animation has been offset upwards by a single pixel. This doesn't seem to occur in Hexen though.

[Fureyon]

People have already addressed the bugs with Hexen and Strife, but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems (GZDoom 4.5.0)

I'm probably one of the very few people that actually use this, but Mourning Glory's icon on the weapon wheel is invisible. I wager that's because it was changed and doesn't have its own custom ammo anymore.

EDIT: Noticed that Mourning Glory is also missing from the weapon shop.
