Demonizer engine mod [V2 Fixed!]

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.

The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

I'm using the latest version of GZDoom (1.0.30), you could try that.

I'm getting the same thing... can you re-upload the working version you've got? Might've been corrupted.

I've heard it slightly decreases the chance you'll get hit or something, but... really. That's useless.

It just throws off the enemy's aim. Great for hitscan, total shit for projectiles.

Partial invisibility makes enemies aim unpredictable. Spiders in MAP07 always throw their plasma all around making it even harder to dodge.

That's always been the problem with partial invisibility. As soon as you get a bit of experience with Doom, you recognise the start of a monsters attack and automatically move to avoid it. Then the randomness of the monster's response to "finding it hard to see you" kicks in and he throws a fireball right to the position that you just dodged to. It's really only useful against hitscan enemies.

First off, The creeper is now fully invisible when not firing.
Secondly, didn't partial invisibility stop enemies seeing you if you moved really slowly?

New *fixed* version should be along shortly (i hope >__>)

I noticed in ZDoom that if you have the invisibility and you don't move too close to the monster they don't see you, but I never noticed this happening in Doom95.exe, was this added?
