Fusion Weaver 1.14.1: Za'Sha Rework

[Virathas]

Of course, i got a quick fix in, without testing it, just before uploading - A fixed version should be up now

[AvzinElkein]

It launches, but you slipped up with the void mage:

Got it, will be fixed on the new version (or if something will require immediate fixing ). I simply missed the name of the Rune Magic max mana increase scroll name.

Another bug: When you use the Dark Servant as the Ranger, it does not transform into a friendly Maulotaur.

[Virathas]

Odd, it does work for me - normal friendly Maultoaur. There is a bug with the item changing into a different one if there is no place to spawn, but that is a different one i think.

[AvzinElkein]

If it matters, I was trying to summon the Maulotaur in MAP01 of vanilla Doom 2.

[Virathas]

I did the same, and it worked for me. Nevertheless, the bug i mentioned should be resolved next version.

[Virathas]

Small/Large update - mostly fixes. Most of the fixes were related to Monster Master, though there were some monsters and Nova. See changelog for details!

[AvzinElkein]

Is this mod on haitus or something?

[Virathas]

Not exactly, thought the development did slow down considerably. I am close to being done with 1.14.0 with only a few, but major, things to do. 1.14.0 is mostly rework of Za'Sha, featuring rebalance, slightly smoother weapon animations and complete rewrite of inventory system. All weapons and armor are now generated dynamically, and you can have copies of them.

[AvzinElkein]

If I recall, some characters have a Super Shotgun replacement, which they'll never get if you're playing Doom 1 (which predates it).

[Virathas]

Finally, a patch delayed by just a bit more than a year. However, it is pretty packed, with main focus being the aforementioned Za'Sha Rework. Features a complete rewrite of the inventory system, allowing for multiple copies of the same weapon and armor. Not only that, the items themselves were completely redone, and now are generated more randomly, with a lot more combinations. Not only that, but there is also option for two enchantments instead of one. It also now includes "favorite item system" - during play you can now set items as your favorite - using the button assigned to the item will equip it, or use it if its a consumable. And even more, now all the inventory items have full tooltips, giving you full info about special effects, enchantments, damage values and more.

Another big change, is a completely re-written movement/attack speed system. This should now have a lot more gradual effects for all forms of slow and haste, but it also might cause a plethora of issues.

All in all, i do not feel that i have tested this patch too extensively, and that is why i am providing a separate download for this version.

IMPORTANT: I have noticed that both this update, as well as the old version is incompatible with GZDoom 4.11 and newer, crashing on launch. You can use 4.10.0, as its working fine there. I will be investigating why this happens, however, this will be nearly blind, as there is no readable log nor any relevant changes in changelog that would point to the issue.

[Virathas]

A hotfix update, as i was able to fix the crash for GZdoom 4.11 and newer.

As i did not mention that in previous post, my current plan is likely to add something small, like new monsters, but afterwards i want to refactor the monster spawning system, to have them less random - having groups of similar monsters, that will likely not infight (Looking especially at Imp, Cacodemon and Hellknight spawns). Afterwards, a general rebalance of all monsters are planned, to cement damage types and have all monsters be either resistant or weak to them.

Finishing that, I have several system i want to tackle, at no specific order - skills and levels for all classic classes, basic inventory upgrades for all classes, Vendor refactoring, weapon modding, ammo types for the same weapon, and a completely new character class

What was the problem that caused crashes? Also, I had to set "Use classic HUD scaling" to [OFF] in order to actually be able to read Za'Sha's menus.

[Virathas]

The crash was caused by too many functions in a function. Once i found that i was able to create a few sub-functions, that did all the original actions.

I will look into the scaling, but its unlikely i will be able to fix that.
