Walpurgis 1.0A (For Doom/Heretic/Hexen) [FULL 1.0 Release]

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Fair enough. Health scaling actually works on vanilla bestiary, though: the value it is set to will still apply even with 'Walpurgis Bestiary" turned off.

Does it really? Huh.

Well I'm better at ZScript than I thought I was then.

I'll simply disable the required check for Bestiary in the next fix release if that's the case.

Damage multiplier, however, will definately not work without bestiary, I know I define that as part of each new monster.

I have tested this mod with the HXDD and it seems to be working well without any issues so far. I wish there were more Heretic and Hexen mods that work well on the HXDD, as most are incompatible or have compatibility issues, such as Wrath of Cronos and Serpent Resurrection RPG Mod.

Mainly because I built it for use of Doom Wadsmoosh in mind (since I use it, and it's similar), I commented on the HXDD project when it was being made, and Lemon is also at least aware of Walp and its code in general. I also don't use any especially weird and archaic scripting; some parts of WoC is like looking at hell from a programming perspective (a bit like Brutal Doom).

Anyways, glad you like it.

Finally got around to picking up the new Nightdive iwad releases, and yes, they function perfectly well with GZDoom and Walpurgis.

I made a mini tutorial on how to use them too:





Vestiges of Grandeur, however, seems to cause missing items to appear. Map 1 is fine besides those, but not sure if it breaks Map 2. It's readme talks about requiring EXDEF support, which I don't know if GZDoom yet supports.

Hi.

On the first post of this topic, I wasn't able to download the Walpurgis patch for Strange Aeons.


EDIT: I think there is a bug when playing Heretic with the Crusader.

When you hit a Ghast with a shield, the Ghast image reverts to a Mummy one.

I didn't make or maintain the Strange Aeons patch, so I've taken it off the front page. Such is the problems of using Mediafire for storage, I believe they auto-delete if no-one interacts with the download for a while.

Re Ghast: Oops yes it's missing a reference on the Stun-Hit code so it reverts to Mummy sprite. I'll fix that. Good catch.

Could you tell me the Walpurgis Patch Stange Aeons uploader name, so I could PM ask him/her to upload it again?

Your Google-Fu is weak, young padawan.

No seriously there's a search topic function here, one quick search got the original post for me:

I did try to find the patch on net without avail, but it never occurs me that the creator of the patch made several posts here on this topic.

Anyway, thanks. I already send a PM to him/her.

By the way, are likely aware of Berserk Doom made a neural pack for Walpurgis, but just in case, this is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r--cGgyAH9Q&t=342s.

Hello!
BerserkDoomer here, I made a few weeks ago an Upscale for your sprites.
Completely optional for "HIRES" enjoyers
all credits to eharper256, I only upscaled his spritework.

hey there,these enemies are pretty cool so would you consider making a enemy pack in the future?as much as i like walpurgis i think its a shame we dont get a non mage class that as acess to ranged weapons and is more of a hybrid in sense that it can use melee but at the same time there is a bow, a crossbow,throwing knifes or hatchets,javellins and even a archaic gun such as a flintlock pistol or a musket it could be a ranger of sorts or i dont know something like that.

Don't you consider the Druid a ranger class?

I mean, Hexen in general is a high-fantasy, high-magic setting. Even our 'lowest' magic character, Myrmidon, is plenty magical with wind blades, corpse explosions, vorpal slashes and stuff from his weapons.

So yes, as neto says, the Druid is my ranger class. Going by Tabletop RPG Pathfinder 1e rules, Illitheya would be a hybrid Druid/Ranger (or Hunter) in any case since she combo uses a Bow and Baselards alongside her Transformations and natural magic powers. She even has a pet Falcon already, which is more ranger-y than druid-y.

It's the kind of place where no-one would think to invent gunpowder because why would you when a fireball is easier to use and more practical.

i say this in order to have a class that is more inline with a shotter but would still be fantasy/medieval themed with archaic weapons,as for why invent gundpowder when magic is more "practical" magic is pratical for those who can wield it where has weapons such as bows or guns would be more practical for those who either cant wield or who are so talentless with it that it end ups being more trouble than its worth beside given that settings such as the pillars of eternetity plus warhammer fantasy exist and show you that you can have a fun world that has both magic and early gunpowder and lets not forget arcanum of steamworks and lagick obscucura that takes the concept of magic and technology and runs with it,at the end of the day its your mod and you do whatever you see fit i am only putting the idea out there for whoever is interested,if i was a modder and had any skill towards sprite animation and classic doom overall i would do it myself but saddly all i can do is do some very basic editing via slade that doesnt always work.
