One little bug:

The chainsaw zombie uses an incorrect sprite in its Raise: sequence.

I have to admit I found the NightmareCaco rather lame. How about this version (which will give you true nightmares!

) You can add this as an alternative version (as with the various dark imps)

}

Notice the +GHOST flag. With 2.0.64 you can create weapons that will go right through a monster that is a ghost! If you want to try you can insert a Phoenix Rod from Heretic and try to attack this one with it.

I sort of didn't like the caco either, so I used yours instead. However, even if he's supposed to be a nightmare, I toned him down some. I lowered his speed slightly and threw

Code: Select all

HED3 B 0 A_Jump(128,1)
     Goto See

into his attack animation so he doesn't just constantly attack. Granted, I still think he moves too fast and shoots too fast, but I'll leave it that way.

I thought changing his renderstyle looked bad, but after tossing him in a couple levels I saw that he looks really good in dark light levels. The darker it is, the clearer he is up close, but the fast he disappears when you step back! Pretty neat.

I just found this on my hard drive. It's a possessed guy with a shotgun, but it looks rather different than the original possessed guys.

Unfortunately I have no idea who the original artist is, but I'm sure someone out there knows...

Oh, and how could we forgot Scuba Steve's zombie from Ghostbusters Doom 2?

Finally (for now at least), there's Mark Klem's Cyberdemon/Marine hybrid from Cringe!

That was the whole point of it. This monster can be a real challenge but even though he seems extremely aggressive I always found him more challenging than annoying. This is supposed to be a tough monster!

And I am not one of those who like their monsters ultra-tough!

The basic idea for this came from the Doom64 TC, btw.

I found the monsters in Doom 64 TC annoying. ;)

I'll look at that stuff after class NiGHTMARE.

The last one of Nightmares monsters looks nice but the rest is a bit ... well ... "under-quality"

Post by **NiGHTMARE** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 7:05 am

Personally I prefer that shotgun guy to the one in the original Doom

.

Woh! I've never seen that sprite before. It's very good. I like it.

Heh, he goes through the effort of putting a helmet on while being gibbed.

But yeah, that's a good sprite. Just his right arm could use a little tweaking in the walking animation.

The first one's really nice. I think I'll put it in.

As for the second one, I assume his arm comes off after being killed but he still fights, and you have to kill him again? Or something? I'm not entirely sure how these frames should be put together. =P

Indeed, acutally it is two monsters in one

Yeah but I'm not sure how to put them together exactly.

Also, watching the shotgun soldier resurrect is really entertaining.

EDIT: By the way, does anyone know the angles used by the Mancubus attacks (in order)? Isn't it:

-45, 0
0, 45
-30, 30

? I may be way off but that's what I thought it was.
