Zombies Ate My Neighbors TC! (MARCH 2022 AND ANNOUNCEMENT!)

[Shatter-Thought[V-4]]

This is a pretty amazing mod so far, really great compendium of detail, work and love! <3

I do have a bug report concerning the monster potion: when I turn into a monster and run out the clock, I have found that ammo for weapons are depleted and gone, even the water pistol is drained from around 300 or so after running out the transformation clock.

I have played the TC on the latest 4.70 gzdoom.

Dang !! This looks amazing… well done !! I have fond memories of playing ZAMN on my Snes back in the day ( and getting my butt handed to me
on a regular basis) -some of the levels are super challenging —- very tough and frustrating at times, to put it nicely… lovin’ the work you did.. and i’m sure, in time, there will be progress, but i’m gonna have to be patient—- you can’t rush a masterpiece-so, it’ll be done when it’s done….

Yes Zombies Ate My Neighbors was one of my favourite games as a child too, even it was unfairly hard at times, but I really love the concept , humor and gameplay of the original. Funnily enough I never managed to get to the last levels as a child or to dwelve deeply into the mechanics , so this project has made me appreaciate it more as well seeing how they made their monsters and weapons work.

By the way progress is always being made, even if the public demos are a few months away, I release closed betas monthly with new content trough my Patreon, and that on itself helps me as well to keep me motivated and to gain some feedback too, as I work to this deadlines.

Thank you for your kind words! ^^

I think that the bug that you mention might be related to an issue that I fixed a couple of days ago.
If you have the time try with this dev version and let me know if it's fixed ^^

If not I'll add it to the list of bugs to research and fix ^^

I just tested it, and the monster potion works! There is another... bug however, where I can still be hit while transforming into a monster, then I get the death music, but I don't think I am actually "hurt", as my 1-up counter does not seem to go down, thankfully.

Well that's odd, that's the first time I've heard of a bug like that but I'll add it to my list of bugs to fix in the project ^^

Thread updated ^^
Check the new bugfix demo !!
There's quite the list of fixed bugs and also I just uploaded a Hotfix to fix an oversight with the TitanicToddler ^^

Here's the Changelog for the ones who want to check it out immediately:

---

+ "ZAMN_MAIN" (??st January, 2022) [Catching Up Update!]
-------------------------------------------------------------
[ZAMN Standalone]
- Cleaned several libraries, added comments and organized them to be more readable.

[ZAMN TC]
- Fixed "MonsterPotion" transformation activating when the player is already dead.
- Fixed TitanicToddler oversights with the spawn animation. It works as it's supossed to now.
- Tweaked TitanicToddler spawn animation, now it will wait for the TitleCards to be done before starting.
- Added TitanicToddler variant with twice as fast spawn animations, can't be placed in a map by map editor but can be summoned by Survivor Scripts ^^


+ "ZAMN_MAIN" (31st December, 2021) [New Year's Update!]
-------------------------------------------------------------
[ZAMN Standalone]
- Renamed "Decorate" folder as "Decorate_M" (Decorate_Main), to prevent directory issues with
possible future integration to GitHub or such.

[ZAMN TC]
- Reduced Doppelganger's "MaxStepHeight" to 24
- Made the trampolines in Level 5 to block monsters, so they can't walk into it
- Added more colission to the rooftops of nearby trampolines on Level 5 to prevent getting into them by jumping.
- Added a 1 tic Delay with chances to ocurr before attacking in the "Zombies", "Mummies", "MushroomMen", "Werewolves",
"Doppelgangers", "AxeBabyDolls" and "Martians".
This was added to prevent perfectly synchronized attacks wich where bypassing the invincibility frames
- Added a missing check for the Chainsaw Maniacs which made them ignore Clown Decoys, if they just destroyed a wall.
- Fixed the WeedWacker stopping the speed boost of the SpeedShoes, now they are combinable.
- Fixed "MonsterFists" weapon not being selected if the player had "Autoswitch Weapons" turned off.
- Fixed weapons not being picked up while the player was in the morphed "MonsterPlayer" version.
- Reduced "Martians_Chase" movement and projectile speed
- Fixed Tentacle enemies failing to attack their target while in range for an attack
- Tweaked Tentacle enemies, tweaked hitbox and movement speed
- Fixed akward colission in map "Day Of The Tentacle", after coming out of the broken wall , after collecting the Skeleton Key.
- "Hit Pallete" changes for TitanicToddler/GiantPod enemies will not trigger if their health is 0.
(Unless the animation started before they died)
- Added a "Growing" sequence for the Titanic Toddler spawn.
Adds 2 second before starts attacking, probably unnoticeable in "Titanic Toddler" if the LevelCards are not skipped.
- Tweaked the brightness in "No Assembly Required" to be a little brighter (plus a missing texture was added.)

EDIT: Dumbass me forgot to update the links properly .-.
It's all updated now! ^^
