This is a slightly silly monster replacement set for Doom 1/2 replacing all the standard roster with various goons/thugs and criminals up to and including some of Marvels heavy hitters (Drawn entirely in majestic MSpaint)
I'm currently working on making Doom style civilian's and goons for people to use in modern mods. This is not that content sorry!
When starting out modding I made a full Punisher gameplay mod together with my son, I can't release that as its a uncredited, hodgepodge hitscan mess (Like most peoples early mod attempts ). But I've been playing lots of nifty modern weapon mods lately and felt we really needed is a full (non demon )enemy replacement set.
So I figured why not pull out all my sprites/the sounds and slap in some tracers/projectiles and see what I got.. and boom here we are!
This is (if you lower your expectations) surprisingly enjoyable especially with the right weapon set!
FEATURES
Spoiler:
POSITIVE+
+complete unique enemy set
+should be compatible with pretty much any weapon only mod
+cartoon style and tongue in cheek dialog fit comic book style surprisingly well
+through the power of color translation a very large amount of enemy variants, all with unique names like "Hawk, Shades or Moxy"
+complete target spy/monster scouter support for that arcade feel (I highly recommend this)
+some unique bosses from Punisher/Marvel universe as well as some game swapping Wildcards
+Also includes civilians/hostages/enemies with human shields.
NEW**+arrest mechanic, when enemies surrender slap some cuffs on them with the USE key to feel like a good guy.
POSSIBLY NEGATIVE-
-Cartoon style, not for everyone. But seriously if you can get passed this its pretty fun even with more realistic weapon mods.
-1 directional enemies. Yes I know . At least they all have directional idle sprites so you can catch them by surprise.
-no flying monsters. So you might have problems with some maps that really use this. The replaced monsters still function pretty well for the most part. example: (cacodemon replacements have rifles so when they spawn up high they shoot down at you)
-NEW** Changed the civilian/hostage stuff to just the dead body replaces to give even better compatibility with weapon mods
IMPORTANT NOTES (please read these as they might answer some questions)
Spoiler:
-SOME ENEMIES SURRENDER. They are flesh and blood and do not want to die. Ignore them or slap some cuffs on them with the USE key. No executions either sorry, I'm sure the police will come pick them up later!
-**NEW** fixed arresting so you can't repeatably arrest same guy! this stops them blocking doors/switches aswell.
-SHOTGUNS HURT!. Instead of weak spray shotgunners use strong single shots. Be aware they are a threat.
-MELEE HURTS!. Melee enemies are useless at range but can hurt you very fast up close. They can be a threat if your not paying attention.
-NAVY MEANS ARMOR. A lot of mid to higher tier enemies wear armor (this is almost always colored Navy) they can take a fair bit of punishment.
-CIVILIAN/HOSTAGE stuff has no effect on anything. No morality. No rewards, short from a warm feeling in your heart!. Play how you want, save the tied up people or don't, If they go down in the line of fire don't feel like you failed. Also once they have been set free they just wander aimlessly (might change most of this at later date)
-BLUE MEANS CIVILLIAN. For the most part civilians wear blue (sometimes pink) this is so you can spot them out easier.
-RESCUE WITH GUNS. Shoot hostages to save them. don't worry your a hero and always managed to hit the handcuffs!
Spoiler:
-FAKEHOSTAGE there is a fake hostage which is actually a trap. This is a Straight man in disguise supposed to catch you buy surprise its not a dig at anything gender issue related, if it bothers people to much I am happy to remove it.
GOING TO HAVE TO SLAP A NSFW WARNING ON HERE JUST INCASE. One of the hostages is a nude man, you don't actually see anything besides a nude bum and its super silly but better to be safe then sorry. will happily remove this is people find it too offensive.
ALSO - there is a alternate version of this further down the page using Carcer city/Manhunt stuff instead of punisher stuff haven't moved it up here yet.
CREDITS:
Full Credits List for code/sounds/sprites included in the file.
If you think I missed anything or miscredited please let me know. I will change it or fix it and it was no way intentional.
POSSIBLE FUTURE ADDONS.
-figure out what to do with freed hostages
-possibility to switch from good cop/bad cop to arrest/kill surrendered enemies
-full rotations maybe
-combine Punisher and Carcer replacers into one massive replacer
-Currently working on weapons mod to go with both of these.
Thanks again. Please try not to take it to seriously and have some fun. Also let me know what you think all feedback welcome!

Updated this with a couple of minor tweaks for more enjoyability.
-Enemies now have blood on them when dead, minor change but feels bit better
-all mobile enemies have directional sprites on spawn (no more lookallaround needed) you can now surprise even boss tier enemies.
I'm liking this so far!
I'm not bothered by the toony style, but what you said about it not being for everyone, I don't think any art style is really "for everyone."
Some prefer classic doom's original demon designs, Some prefer new doom's nightmarish redesigns.
Having the bad guys randomly surrender is a great touch! It's nice to be merciful every so often. Maybe sometime down the road, there can be a "bust" mechanic, like in NARC.
Overall, a solid project so far. Keep the good work up!

Something like this is probably going to happen. Started doing this, all gang members done All done!
Already figured out simple way of doing it, just testing out if they should drop a item or not/fade away/display a message etc.
It might sound dumb but I don't want to reward/punish people either way, just give them the choice.
Again thanks for playing it.
EDIT*2 -Started implementing arrest system for surrendering enemies gang members done, rest on way.
Implemented arrest system for all surrendering enemies (Hit USE key to cuff them).No reward for this but feels better them leaving them unsecured.
-fixed sprite issues with gang member having double up.

This is actually silly good fun. Thanks as I hadn't thought of this (ultra crispy is still my main goto).
ALSO UPDATED MAIN POST WITH CURRENT VERSION.
-all pistol enemies now have weapons in hands at all times, no more draw/holster when shooting
-couple of sprite minor sprite fixes
-also added couple of guys/rebalanced the Baron spawns as Rhino turned up way to much.
Currently working on a extra expansion/addon (don't know yet) with whole bunch of guys from a pretty specific setting
-got a bunch more wildcards in the expansion that I'm considering folding into the main file
-considering doing full rotations(4/5/8) for enemies as drawing in this style is super fast and got enough bases to get it done but unsure if its necessary?
MANHUNT CARCER CITY VERSION
So for what was going to be a expansion to this ended up being a completely new monster replacer all of its own. Same style, different setting.
Introducing Manhunt Carcer City Monsters.
now you can blast your way though hoodlums/crazies and psychos in mspaint style with your choice of weapon mods
mostly set in Manhunts Carcer City but with some additions thrown in.
FEATURES (mostly same deal as punisher mod)
Spoiler:
-complete monster replacer set with lots of color variants
-lots of silly names for target spy (heavily recommend this)
-lots of humorous tongue in cheek dialogue from enemies
-surrendering enemies that can be arrested with use key
-some more game jumping wildcards
-tracers/projectiles monsters with no hitscan
-no civilian stuff/powerup replacers for even better compatibility
-corpses replaced with dead civilians
SCREENSHOTS (purposely not showing to much as to not ruin some surprises)
Spoiler:
Some quick things to be aware of.
-Cartoon Mspaint style.
-Cacos and Souls are not flying enemies but function well for most part
-Enemy shotguns + melee hurts alot.
-Has dogs these are very dangerous but weak
-Has some vehicles which don't have pain states so strafe/take cover
-Some sound quality is pretty average as not really my area.
-Also NSFW warning because Pigsy is in it!
ENEMY ROSTER (Spoilers)
I really like this. Been experimenting with the limited options out there for human enemies, more grounded arsenals and settings and stuff. So this is very appropriate. Manhunt and that Punisher game are perfect inspirations, and the use of voice acting from both is a great choice. I'm curious, what map and mod are you using in that first screenshot with the assault rifle?

The Weapon Mod is Lethal Doom viewtopic.php?f=19&t=54191
The map is from the Gameplay mod friendly version of Extermination Day
The city levels in it work amazing with the modern enemies (gives a feeling that instead of demons everything has been wrecked by anarchist criminals)
Glad to hear your enjoying this. Really thank you for the feedback.
currently redoing the sounds in the punisher version to give enemies more dialog options.
also working on my own weapon set to go along with these
EDIT* Also this
This is both punisher and manhunt replacers combined into one file with mostly balanced spawns https://www.dropbox.com/s/975w6a9ebrcvl ... 0.zip?dl=0
I've been attempting a IRONMAN playthrough of Memorial.Wad with Spawn on UV with this. Also play with the lost junker texture pack by thugsta to make levels bit fresher.
