BorderDoom: Doom + Borderlands gameplay (update 1.2)

[Alamo985]

The weapon pickup system broke in 1.1.
I can't pick any weapons, even with only the mod itself.
Tested with GZDoom 4.3.3 and 3.8.2.

The latest version is 4.4.2

Soo it took me a bit of time... Anyway:

Uh... I encountered an odd bug: I tried to load into Kinsie's test map and the game immediately closed, no error message or anything.

I tried loading it with several different versions of GZDoom. All the 4.x versions didn't work (crash), not even the newest one (4.5.0). However everything works fine when using v3.1.0 . So I assume something changed in the engine which causes the crash. No matter what the cause is, the program shouldn't just shut down. I think there might be a bug somewhere in GZDoom.
As a side note: The test map started in 3.1.0, but the weapons etc didn't work properly. So I assume there's a problem with clashing scripts. I recommend using BorderDoom with maps that don't have scripts in them.

Speaking of that: I found a bug in BorderDoom while testing the test map.

I've used BorderDoom with at least GZDoom version 3.1.0, 4.2.1 and 4.5.0 (just now). Everything works fine on my end. Maybe you didn't configure your keys right? Otherwise I would need more info on that.


I also wanted to let you know that I set up a Discord server for my projects. So if anyone wants to talk about BorderDoom there: Feel free to join!

In the latest version of this mod, upon starting the game using the "WadSmoosh" IWAD, the difficulty selection page does not pop up and instead there is a "P_StartScript: Unknown script 0" error message and the player is unable to use either the mouse or keyboard. This error also persists with the inclusion of minimods "All Clear Message" and "Bloody Simple Blood" in the load order.

Also, could there be a version released with which the vanilla doom sounds are not replaced?

Have only just now gotten around to trying this out, and I think it's pretty cool for the 15 minutes I spent on it.

Is there a way to quickly swap a weapon in your hand for one on the floor, though? I'm finding it tedious to upgrade from one weapon to another of the same type.

I'm glad you like it.
That's a nice program you got there. However I would prefer you asked people before including their mods into your program (assuming they download it from your service and not the creator's page).

That's unfortunate. However BD has been known to not work well with other mods that bring their own scripts. Probably because BD changes many things using scripts. HOWEVER I made a change in the newest (unreleased) version which might help with that problem. But it'll be some time before the new version is ready.

Most vanilla sounds are still in place. Mostly the weapons had their sounds replaced, but since the weapons are (partially) new I think this makes sense. So if you don't have a good reason for a version like that, I currently think: No.

Nice!
No, there's no such thing at the moment. However I had the same experience while playing, so maybe I'll add that in a future version.

I just want to let you know that attempting to load Kinsie's DooM Mod Testing Map throws the same error and causes the same total controls lockout as what Evil Operative described. Again, probably a scripting issue.

But I want to stress: This was done by simply Ctrl-clicking on the two items to have them both selected, then dragging them over to the GZDoom.EXE. In other words, ONLY those two files loaded. I wouldn't have figured on Kinsie's Test Map locking this mod up...

Thanks for letting me know. However I believe that this problem might already be fixed in the in-dev version.

Discord exclusive, I presume?

I tried using a "Discord Enhancer" thing that actually wound up borking my Discord. I got a fresh Discord install, but I didn't have my login credentials written down anywhere, so I've lost access to my Discord account. As such I doubt I'd be able to download your in-dev version of the mod.

That's a good idea, but no.
It's just in development and not ready for release. If you want to be notified when it's ready, you can follow me on Twitter or just watch this thread.

Twitter's the literal bottom of the barrel, if you ask me.

Not working with Compendium:
1) shows error: P_StartScript: Unknown script "Enjay ZDoom 2001"
2) Player can't move, game mode menu isn't available and I can't choose game mode.

[Sunbeam]

Don't use BD with mods that change scripts for now. The upcoming update might fix that.
