The new sounds and the alternative death animations are a neat idea, however you forgot to credit me for the dark imp death sprites you used as a base for the new imp death animation.

I credited you from R2 onwards.

It's that time of night again, kids!

Doom Enhanced R4

- Gibs are much more framerate-friendly, not detecting the blockmap until they are at rest and doing less fancy stuff if you aren't looking. This means the framerate issue with the Crusher on UV/NM is fixed, and you can even do the Kill Monsters cheat code on the default Doom levels and most usermaps. I still wouldn't recommend playing Mock 2 with this, though.

- Bosses spew a saner amount of gibs and do not trigger the ROTT easter egg.
- Fist now has proper sound for punching solid walls (you doof) as well as different sounds when you have Berserk. I might improve these later.
- "Falling an obscene distance" sound redone. Remember kids, never save your sounds as 8-bit wav. Ever. Or I'll find you.
- Stealth monsters splat like their visible, non-[censored word] counterparts.
- Chaingun animation fixed. How did I not notice this?

HELP WANTED:
I have multiple directions in doomenh.wad for the WolfSS's attack, but they are overwritten by Doom2.wad's one-direction sprite. Any idea how to smack Zdoom with a newspaper and say "No, bad" and get around this?

TO DO:
- Update spent casings
- Improve torches
- Get shamelessly drunk

Replace the wolfSS actor with a new one using a different set of sprite names for the attack frame?

Also here's an idea for you. Give the cacodemon a crash state so if it falls so far it'll splat into a big bloody mess. Also I wonder if it would be possible to give other monsters "falling" damage and animations?

It already has one. It's just subtle and splat-free because I couldn't figure out how to spawn blood with the actor's blood translation.

I've made myself a big pk3 file which contains a lot of stuff -- mostly PNGified graphics resources from Doom2, Heretic, and Hexen, but also sounds and stuff and some improvements -- which is put in autoload.

This lets me do stuff like summoning monsters or weapons from the various games to organize monster fight or using a different set of weapons to finish a level.

Anyway, among the improvements, I have in that file multiple direction for the Wolf guy, too -- and they do work.

So I don't see why it wouldn't be working for you.

No need to smack Zdoom around. Beat yourself with a newspaper instead.

Sure, you do have full rotations for the WolfSS shooting sprites. However, you have also included the original single direction sprites (SSWVE0 etc) in your WAD after the multi-direction ones and so the single view ones get used instead. Remove them from the WAD and it works as intended.

Its a great update, even though it needs just a little more ambience (Eg. Heart Beating, "Live Victims" moaning in pain.. That sort of thing)

And there needs to be WolfSS Gibs

Well, aren't I a bumble-butt. Thanks Enjay!

I might add more ambient sounds soon.

As far as ther WolfSS gibs, I kinda neglected them due to them being an easter egg monster (Hence their silly gib sounds), but if people want I'll give them better gibs.

I like the WolfSS gibs the way they are now...

Let's do this a little early since I had some spare time...

Doom Enhanced R5

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES:
- Spent casings have been changes to be better and more varied.
- Monsters eject spent casings. Could have swore I already had this in...
- Removed crappy unfinished corpse buoyancy effect.
- Removed uses of A_SetGravity as they did absolutely nothing.
- Fixed bug where WolfSS wouldn't use new firing angles.
- Added +RANDOMISE to some sound-making props, to mix things up a little.
- Plasma Rifle shots effected by teleporter lines again.

Good godding freak, man, that is insane!

.......oh, you mean affected.

Anyway... I'm not a huge fan of the fact that monsters start out completely motionless like statues or inanimate decorations or something. Though I suppose this does make the zombies a bit more uncanny...

Also, GZDoom is crashing again D:

Any specific message?

It's just this. In the prior release of Doom Enhanced the crash would go away if I put the files in a zip and run the zip, but for some reason that doesn't work anymore, so I'll just settle for software until "tomorrow".

That said, I've gained a new appreciation for the footstep sounds playing Map05 in software mode.
