[RELEASE] DN3DooM - update v.1.08b

[kipo]

Small update: new alt fires

It may not be too long for a new release

Hi, this mod is awsome. This mod and the Duke Nukem textures wad make's me feel like i really play a Duke Nukem game, not a mod for Doom. The only weird thing I find is the fact that the blood from the corpses and the footprints are vanishing after short time. I was looking in the files for that script so I can try to make the blood and the footprints not to vanish or at least to increase the time before they vanish, but I couldn't find it. I was wandering if anyone can tell me where is this script located.

Thanks, in the coming update there is already included an option to disable the vanishing on some actors. In recent videos you can probably notice that the gore is not disappearing.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

As someone who loves Duke Nukem 3D, this is one of the best mods for Doom

I hacked together a new gloved version of the DN3D plasma cannon

This file contains all the weapons with gloves, still.

The original link on page 14 will still have the Don Ramon rotary plasma cannon

Thanks everyone for the kind words, and cool addons.

Bumping to announce a new release (v.1.07)! - download link on the first post
The main changes were already displayed on the previous dev. diaries, some highlights include:
New Duke enemies: N64 Trooper, Green Octabrain variant, Cyber Enforcer.
New alt fires for: Shrinker, Expander, Shotgun, Chaingun, Tripbomb.
New option to fight DooM enemies (they are improved to fit this mod, and their chance of appearance can be selected on a per monster, sector or level basis)

The last feature was not announced since it was a last minute addition (which took me longer to implement than I thought). The Doom monsters have been improved/buildified. Many thanks to the brutal doom mod on this for the aligned/improved doom sprites and extra death/gib doom sprites. The same thanks applies to the brutal wolfenstein mod for the wolfensetin SS sprites.

As for the next steps? Since there's already doom monster in here I was thinking of expanding the concept (this is DN3DooM after all).
So, what would you guys want to see next?
a. Add the Doomguy player class with vanilla-like enhancements (or even build-like enhancements?), or
b. Add more doom enemy variants (buildified, with toggles)

I know there's a third option (c), which is to add more duke player classes like kick ass, AA, etc, but that's a lot of work (like making a whole new mod inside a mod). If I set up a Patreon or something with a set goal for this, would someone be interested?

What about having the capabilty of having the duke enemies apart so you could play with the enemies, with others weapons mods ?

[Bobby]

How about a shadow warrior class that is in the sane vain as the Duke himself in this mod?

I'm not too experienced with combining mods, but that should already work, right? I mean I'm using the default damagetypes like bullet, plama, explosion, fire, plus some other custom ones. So if a weapons mod is loaded after mine, and it replaces the duke character (or adds other character), it should work, I think?

Interesting, it's in the same ground as adding other duke classes. The only problem is that there are no shadow warrior monsters to fight against.

Nope. The mod ignore the weapons for other mods

[kabuto]

By the way theres some way to disable the decorations ?

[kipo]

Sorry about the weapons stuff, I'm not experienced yet with different weapon sets.
About the decorations, yes there is a way, it's in the options.

I can't think of much else I'd ask for off the top of my head, I guess that's a sign you made a good mod

The cola cans (+1 health flask replacements) don't contribute to your portable medkit, so there's a nitpick. You could go full customization by including some more optional enemy variants (like the melee pigcop, which I believe I already brought up in this thread). Making those alien snipers drop their railgun would also be nice, plus it could share an ammo type with the already included lameduke gun (plasma cannon). A whole new class isn't necessary, just a new weapon to serve an unfulfilled niche.

Maybe duke nukem advance aliens? Some of them could work, like the grey alien (which someone already ported to doom 2 a while ago). If their sprites are too low rez then you could always upscale them like you did with the lameduke octabrain, but I think their art style blends in well enough already (at least as much as the N64 trooper does). That's all I can reach for in terms of new content, we already have NTMAI so the whole "buildified doomguy" idea sounds a little redundant to me.

[kipo]

Those are some solid suggestions, with clever ways to handle the implementation without affecting the current state of the mod, thanks.

About the buildified doomguy, you are right about ntmai, I guess I didn't give it much thought. It's just that I play a lot in coop so I thought it would be cool to have duke and doomguy fighting monsters from both universes together (someone suggested this idea some time ago and it grew on me).
So if a buildified doomguy is a no-no, how about a vanilla doomguy with enhancements?
