Optionally, have you considered adding a single-barrel shotgun to the arsenal and then turn into the existing shotgun into a proper double-barreled supershotgun that uses two shells per shot? Since the game is rather generous in terms of shells and most combat takes place in close quarters, we could definitely use a boost in firepower.

Magnificient! Best played with a flashlight mod and one that allows leaning as well. The music so far is good too.

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0)
I have considered stuff like this, new weapons, aliens etc. It's a little out of scope for the main project though, I want to keep things in the spirit of the original game. Future expansion packs are possible, so I won't rule it out for those. There are even unused assets for a flame thrower and a machine gun in the original source code, so those are definite candidates too.JohnnyTheWolf wrote:Optionally, have you considered adding a single-barrel shotgun to the arsenal and then turn into the existing shotgun into a proper double-barreled supershotgun that uses two shells per shot?

Fingers crossed then! You definitely seem to have the talent and the ability to make those expansions happen.
But is a machine gun not what your starting weapon is already? How does the one in the source code differ from it?

Too cool! I started playing through last night and it's fantastic. Well done.
I was a little worried that feature creep might spoil the feel of the original game but you've done a great job.
Maybe you could release a resource pack and get a community map project on the go? I'd love to play some new maps in the style of AB3D. I can't tell you how many days I've lost due to playing AB3D on the Amiga with my 68040 accelerator and CD32 gamepad - happy, happy days!

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0)
It's just weapon sprite graphics, no actual implementation. Maybe it became the Pulse Rifle during development? Can probably find ways to differenciate it though, like how some games and mods have a basic assault rifle but also a heavy machine gun or chaingun. Just ideas at this point though!JohnnyTheWolf wrote:Fingers crossed then! You definitely seem to have the talent and the ability to make those expansions happen.![]()

Yeah I want to do this at some point. I'm working on a mini-expansion with the maps from the AB3D demos, and they have their own textures (though kind of messy ones so I have to clean them up a bit) and distinct enemies so I wanna get that done first so people have more options available.Barry Burton wrote:Maybe you could release a resource pack and get a community map project on the go?

Good stuff. I'll look forward to your mini-expansion.

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0)
Download Project Osiris v1.0.1
Quick update to fix some embarrassing bugs I left in. Was doing some last minute tweaks and didn't clean up after myself. You might have noticed the elevators in MAP08 being broken. Also a 'fading' debug message I left in whenever music fades out. Oops!
Also fixed an issue on Linux versions of GZDoom not liking DEFCVARS.txt - it had some platform-specific CVARs in there that made the game error out. Thanks Pa9an for helping me fix this!

Which level are these on?aconike wrote:I found 2 mistakes in the game

EDIT: Never mind, found some runaway aliens on maps 9 and 10! Fixed now. Was doing some last minute tweaking to all the maps before 1.0, and I might have accidentally shifted some enemies around. Sorry! Gonna put out another bugfix update soon. Thanks for letting me know!
ANOTHER EDIT: Put out another patch!
Download Project Osiris v1.0.2
Features the fix of the above as well as a couple of other bugfixes and tweaks.
WARNING: save games aren't compatible between versions, if you're mid-game you might want to soldier on with the version you have, or update and use the console to warp yourself back to the level you were at. Sorry!

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0.2)
Hello,
savegames from 1.0.1 are not working in 1.0.2. It says savegame is from a different level. Autosaves are not working too - it says ACS module OSIRIS has changed from what was saved. (Have 5432 bytes, save has 5400 bytes).

Those messages are telling the truth. A save from a previous version will not work in a newer version, especially not if there have been changes to the map or scripts.

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0.2)
Oh, yeah, sorry about that, that's a GZDoom thing and as far as I know there's not much I can do about it. If you're not squeamish about 'cheating', you can use the console to warp to the map you were at (use 'map mapxx' where xx is the number of the level) and give yourself the weapons back or play from a Pulse Rifle start. Apologies, I should have warned about that.jarecki83 wrote:Hello,

If anyone's interested, I put the soundtrack I made for this up on itch.io for download, as well as on Youtube. Have a listen if you want!

Re: Project Osiris - Alien Breed 3D for GZDoom (1.0.2)
Oh shoot. I thought there were more tracks than that. Then again, I guess this would not be a Doom project without most tracks being used for more than one level.
Still good work!

I am but a single person, and I'm doing the coding, graphics work and level design tweaking on this project too. Gotta balance things out somewhere!JohnnyTheWolf wrote:Oh shoot.
