yup, it's still map 40. It does have a minor error. Since the Spider Demolisher is still too damn fat to go through the opens. But it will shoot at your, just wont be able to get out of it's "cage".

Still need that shotgun and that machine gun mind you

The machinegun is already on it's way. The sotgun will be made one I figure out how to decorate a shotgun with a magaazine of 20 shells to reload correctly. I hope there is a better than then having 19 A_JumpIfInventory commands X_X.

I only got a chance to have a quick look at this last night. However, there seems to be one frame slightly wrong in the Deathknight. If you go right up close to him (with god mode) and let him beat you with his sword, you momentarily see a brief flash of a sprite that is out of sequence and bright, compared to all the other non-bright sprites in the attack. If you're quick, you can freeze the game on that frame and, despite the fact his sword should be extended, at the lower part of his attack, in this misplaced frame his sword is held aloft and his shield is raised and, like I said, the sprite is full bright.

Phooey. Well there's awlays hope for 2 shotguns, but best not to keep my hopes up now.

Yeah, I've noticed this as well and fixed it. I left the first frame of his melee attack that had a A_UnSetReflectiveInvulnerable on bright adnw ith a durationof 1, so you could just see it. All the unsetting action pointers have been turned to 0 now. So this should fix it.

Use a custom inventory item as a counter for how many you've loaded. Then, loop through. Something like this:

Set amount of counter object to 0
// jump back to here
Check the counter object to see if you should load any more shells
if not, stop.
Check if there are any shells available to load
if not, stop.
Load a shell
add one to the counter object
jump back

[TheDarkArchon]

You'll have to check against the ammo type if you want partial reloading which can be a nuisiance because of the double ammo issue in NMare/ITYTD

For example, this is how Wildweasel handled reloading of the power shotgun in the Stranger:

Code: Select all

ACTOR PowerShotgun : Weapon 82
{
   Weapon.SelectionOrder 400
   Inventory.PickupSound "pshot/close"
   Inventory.PickupMessage "Power Shotgun. (Slot 4)"
   Weapon.AmmoType1 "ShotgunClip" //The guns magazine
   Weapon.AmmoType2 "Shell" //The real ammo
   Weapon.AmmoGive 0
   Weapon.AmmoGive2 8
   Weapon.AmmoUse 2
   Weapon.Kickback 500
   AttackSound "pshot/fire"

You can use anything within this wad, as it's supposed to be for the public. But give me credit for my hard work.
