I'm surprised I never shared this over here, but better late than never. This was my last personal project I threw together. Basically its a conglomeration of a lot of my personal code, ideas, and modifications combined into a coherent package that presents a fun alterative to people like me who want a faster game play style, but also want a semi-vanilla feel. So here is ExKalibered Doom.



Special Notes:

When throwing the grenade, the weapon pulled back up will not be the previous weapon because the Grenade code is a homebrew I cooked up that uses no ACS or ZScript to do a weapon check. The Weapon Priority is set to PISTOL(or SSG if you have one) for gameplay purposes. Weapons fast cycle so this makes it easy to get back to your weapon you use or want.
Weapons are beefy, but so are the Shotgunners as in think Halo Elite annoying for bullet sponging, but can still be killed very fast due to the player weapon power.
Many weapon drops are completely random on enemies, but conducive to logic. You can get the SSG on Doom 1 wad due to this mechanic. The reason for the random drop is that there are 3 types of bullet ammo, and only 1 shotgun ammo.
The Main pk3 has its own Blood-Gore mod, but is friendly to Nashgore still.




Main info.
Contents include:
1. ExKalibured Doom.pk3: Main gameplay mod.
2. LW30s DHTP-ExKalibured.wad : Heavily modified and size reduced Doom 1&2 Texture pack.
3. Zools Halo-Shield-Fixed : Bug fixed version of the best standalone Halo shield mod.
4. Steve's Flashlight: Its my favorite flashlight.
5. Doom AI Amplifier: Adds even more Enemy goodness for how they act.

GamePlay info:

Exkalibured Doom is first and foremost a combat gameplay mod and not meant to be graphical block buster. The bread and butter is in the tuned combat mechanics
orchestrated and tasted to MY tastes. This may or may not appeal to all players.

Core gameplay goals and features:
1. Fast pace Combat.
2. Enemies with breakable armor mechanic akin to Halo 3 combat. This applies mainly to Shotgunners and Chaingunners whos Armor also Regenerates if NOT broken
THe Broke Armor spawns a Zombie man to signify the armor is broken.
3. Better Guns: Shot is full auto but not machine gun fast; 2 rifles, 3 pistols, all 3 bullet guns pair with pistols.
4. FUN.
5. G-Button Grenade that is unique in code--- NO ACS.
6. More FUN. But seriously. I freaking love this mod.

Basically this was my attempt at tying many of my various personal gun and monster code and combat ideas into one mod. Enjoy.
