The Guncaster - 3.888b

[fakemai]

Gameplay options, unlock all shop items. I don't recommend this because all of those items will drop randomly throughout the game, and the shop will allow upgrading the ones that have them once you find one. The default selection does feel a bit sparse though, especially the artifacts.

The author seems to replaced and added weapons, he must be a Wolfenstein fan LOL. I am glad that this was updated for the newest gzdoom versions, is still fun as ever.
But there is one thing that I would wish it was possible to edit or add an option for it. There is an option that you can manipulate your mana regeneration, that is bloody cool and useful but if I want o leave it as it is (default), when I use all my magic, enemies always drop mana vials and replenish your mana in the blink of an eye and for me that kills the upgrade for mana regeneration (mana surge syringe). I managed to disabled the mana vials in the old version but it seems is harder to do in the new one.
Also is it just me or the game tips still plays in every map even though I disabled them ?

That's because monster edits are now scripted. I never liked the mana pots either. Open the mod and copy

Code: Select all

ACTOR NoManaPots1 : Dosh1 replaces MinorManaPot {}
ACTOR NoManaPots2 : Dosh1 replaces MajorManaPot {}

into the decorate file.

The gameplay tips thing was fixed but you'll have to download master for now, go up to the main Gitlab page and click the blue Code dropdown button, download as ZIP, I don't think you'll have to rename it to PK3. As for the mana drops, maybe actually the above won't be necessary in future but also it needs to be applied for the mana pods too, the ones that are used in Doom and Strife, and actually all IWADs currently.

Thank you both of you for the replies and help and Rowsol , seriously thanks man, I can't believe it became so simple

Sorry but can you be more specific ? I used it in the decorate/DoomStuff.txt and add it at the end of the line but no dice

[aFriendlyBullet]

I had success by also throwing in an extra set like so:

ACTOR NoManaPots3 : Dosh1 replaces MajorManaPod
ACTOR NoManaPots4 : Dosh1 replaces MajorManaPod

since I believe the pots and pods are for Hexen/Heretic and Doom respectively

[Nightmarekiller]

Finally I managed to make it work by adding to decorate/DoomStuff.txt these lines:
ACTOR NoManaPots1 : Dosh1 replaces MinorManaPot {}
ACTOR NoManaPots2 : Dosh1 replaces MajorManaPot {}
ACTOR NoManaPots3 : Dosh1 replaces MinorManaPod {}
ACTOR NoManaPots4 : Dosh1 replaces MajorManaPod {}

How weird but it works at least

FYI there's now an actual option to disable the mana pick-ups, under loot settings, so that shouldn't be necessary anymore. Plenty of much more fun changes as well, Skullfire's much improved as is Chillgrasp.

I took a gander at your work. Good work, dude. Thanks for contributing.

Getting a crash or error made me think something like this would play with saying something like "ya killed him, Vinny!"

Hi, can i ask about characters?

Before it inevitably comes up, there is a known issue after 4.14.2 where some mods have very jittery-looking weapon bobbing, including Guncaster. It doesn't occur if you disable "seasickness simulator" but that also makes weapons lazily bob around like Doom. It is a workaround though if necessary.

The Cyborg Commando esque green/blue balls of death are in there still, the autocannon was removed as mentioned, but there's an even stronger thing besides that, try and find out.

I don't follow. If you mean new characters I am not affiliated with the mod.
