[Release] The Trailblazer - 1.5e

[Tesculpture]

One bug I've noticed, once again concerning the Uranium Shot-enhanced puffs for the Eliminator: The explosions no longer have dynamic lights after the Eliminator receives its tinker-upgrade.

- Scrap Gun: introduce a new weapon to the fray that runs directly off of your scrap supply.

Something to think about for cases of particularly long mapsets with lots of backpacks and/or bosses. When you run out of things to craft, you're basically stuck either A) spamming 2 Bore shells to use up your scrap crafting them; or B) repeatedly crafting the "Armored Measures" blueprint so you can clear up scrap from your inventory. Having a weapon that directly used scrap as ammo would be useful.

Personally, I don't like leaving behind blueprints because my scrap is at max.

I'd actually been thinking about this as well. I too have had instances where I'd have too much scrap after crafting everything related to blueprints and I either end up crafting ammo for the higher tier weapons or using the Armored Measures blueprint. Why not have blueprints for some of the consumables? Radsuit comes to mind as being handy to have in my inventory at all times. Or blueprints for making backpacks (at least until you reach the max ammo cap where you can't expand the cap anymore).

Also, why not Jetpack fuel? We can convert scrap metal into whiskey.

Found a bug... once you get the double Fleshrends (not sure if this is with or without the extra barrel upgrade), you keep picking up the shotguns dropped by the shotgunners even when your ammo is full.

Other question, is the movement alterations mod (w/ or without jetpack ability) available separately?

Actually, shotguns dropped by enemy shotgunners give a golden DEM Shell when picked up.

Once you're full on those, you'll stop collecting dropped Fleshrends.

I encountered a bug when playing this mod with Doom 64 Consolation Prize. In MAP02, the blue key disappears when you lower the lift that it's on. Normally, it comes to rest on another pillar after teleporting around a bit, but here it teleported a few times then disappeared.

I think that's more of an issue with Consolation Prize's version of Doom 64 itself then Trailblazer, I've seen that same issue happen with Guncaster and even DoomRLA as well.

I don't have the issue when playing the WAD with any other mod.

There do exist some blueprints for crafting Pisskey and tac-armor, as well as crafting flares. It would be nice to be able to replenish other limited-charge items using scrap, such as radsuits, night vision goggles, jetpack fuel, etc.

I didn't think about crafting backpacks... in theory it kind of makes sense, but it also kind of makes sense why it's not a thing (would likely be waaaaaaay too broken).

[Gourry]

Not sure if already mentioned but can't shoot or reload doubleduece weapon when picking it up. The ammo count is still at zero.
This happens in gzdoom 4.8.2 and current use of 4.9.0

[DoomKrakken]

This is the first I'm hearing about such a problem... I've not had any issues with the Double Deuce on my end.

So what happens exactly? It plays the reload animation but the magazine is still stuck at zero?

Yup, it makes a empty mag sound like it's jammed. I also use it with colorfulhell99a.pk3; loading after it in Zdl. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't with some maps.

Edit: It works again (for now) once I restart gzdoom.

[DoomKrakken]

PillowBlaster, I have a quick question concerning the Conqueror... was the weapon supposed to be picked up for its self-replenishing ammo if you're full on scrap but not full on said mortar ammo?

[Irrevenant]

I tried this on Extermination Day and picking up keys very reliably gives me VM Aborts, usually on the second level but sometimes the first. I have to disable the keyhandler to play normally.

I'm also occasionally being hit with a very strange but funny bug where I'll hit the grenade button only for Malcolm to start repeatedly tossing ALL of his grenades without stopping, even after the counter hits zero. Switching weapons stops it.

[TheOldKingCole]

So I had an idea for a future update if it ever happens, an option that removes reloading outright, I just find reloading doesn't vibe with me as it does with other people when it come to more fast paced shooters and I know I'm not alone in that.
