I couldn't reproduce that, for me the decals inherit their blood color correctly. Perhaps you're using another mod that overrides the hell knight or their blood.

with the replaced BFALL texture, if it is used as translucent (GZDoom format) on a double sided linedef, it will run down and then be gone (instead of being constantly replaced from top). because of my lack of language skills heres a video https://youtu.be/Cl7pBMMsvGI I can provide wad too if necessary
This is very interesting! I'll have to check if this can be fixed in the shader. Thanks.

It's a small discrepancy, but still. Is it intentional?
Finally got to look at this. In vanilla, the delay before performing an attack is 16 tics, both for melee and ranged (see here). This is the same in my code:

Code: Select all

Melee:
	#### a 4 A_FaceTarget; // 4 tics
	#### bcde 3; // 12 tics
	// 16 tics in total
	#### f 8 A_BruisAttack;
	Goto See;

Missile:
	#### A 0 A_FaceTarget;
	#### AABB 2; // 8 tics
	#### A 0 A_FaceTarget;
	#### CCDD 2; // 8 tics
	// 16 tics in total
	#### A 0 A_BruisAttack;
	#### EEFF 2;
	Goto See;
The only oversight on my part was that after the first 4 tics in Melee, it doesn't call A_FaceTarget in the next 12 tics. I'll fix that but it doesn't really let the player dodge the attack at all, since it'll switch to missile if they even manage to circle around during those tics.

Wow, i just remembered about this mod today after years and i had a blast. But there is a minor bug here, but i'm not sure if this is known: when you play with the modern weapon setup and you hit a rifle wielding chaingun guy, his sprite will flicker to the pain frame of the chaingunner. It is a very minor bug, but it bugs me out.

I've noticed another issue: when shooting multiple bullets into the water each one generates a splash sound and additively, they generate a much louder (too loud) splash sound. This happens everytime on a kill shot when several bullets go into the water (player aims slighty downwards). Pretty annoying.

e: this also applies to the blood drops that fall into the water (classic sprites)

Another bug: bullet puffs on walls have an unnaturally long life time.

e: on some textures only

BIGDOOR7: long lifetime
TANROCK3: no puffs at all
STONE2: normal puffs

is this intended? I think it's odd

I may be able to alleviate this with limit in SNDINFO, thanks.

There are several types of puffs. Wooden surfaces produce long, lasting puffs, akin to wood dust/particles. I may tweak them a bit eventually, though.

That would be awesome because it really does have a negative impact (especially the vanilla blood drops falling onto water)

I just tested All of those bug reports and came up with NOTHING even fitting the bug description listed.

Tested GZD 4.7.1 in OpenGL ES. Gibs and Decals all set to 100, aka minimum. I didnt even so much as get the splash reverb thing from blood on the water.

Hello so this isn't a bug just an observation. When enhanced gibs is turned off. Both zombie men still have their headshot animation with the difference being that the head vanishes when shot. It looks odd, also the cacodemon has a similar issue. The death animation with gibbing turned on shows the eyeball coming out, but with gibbing turned off the eye vanishes. Maybe a fix could happen for this by getting rid of those animations when enhanced gibs are switched off or keep the full animation with enhanced gibs turned on.

Anyway I play this mod with every megawad and love it to death. Just thought I'd give my opinion on how to make a great mod a little better.

Yes, that is a fair point; this logic does get applied to some animations, just not very consistently. When/if I get around updating the mod, I'll tweak this.
Glad you're enjoying it!

Hi! I've been playing this lately and I love it a lot. Although I've noticed a weird thing, not sure if that's intentional: there's no water splashes but there is a sound so it feels weird, and unfortunately the splashes mod viewtopic.php?f=37&t=35547 is not compatible with your mod as well. So I was wondering, is there a way to fix that?

There are splashes. They work with vanilla textures or textures defined via the TERRAIN lump. Perhaps you're playing with a mod that has its own water textures without a TERRAIN definition.

I solved the issue! The problem was that I had some old settings from a previous version in my cfg file, I deleted them and now I see the splashes
EDIT: Oh wait, I think I found what my problem actually was and it looks like a bug. If I have bullet tracers off splashes don't appear, there's only the sound. But when I turn them back on it works as intended. I tested it on stable gzdoom with no other mods installed

is any particular "sprite fixing" mod recommended or not recommended to use with BD?

Just wanted to let y'all know that I've been pushing some updates recently, slowly preparing for a new release. It won't contain anything significantly new, mostly just finishing unfinished stuff and fixing what's already there. I've also experiemented with adding project-specific support; for example, the current dev build supports KDiKDiZD.
