Samsara - No longer under active development.

Seconding Ethril's second suggestion. Not exactly the most scientifically sound, but it does have an intuitive sense to it (and for what it's worth I'm in favour of erring in favour of something being "energy").

[FireSeraphim]

I dunno if this might be dumb or not, but maybe you could make a seperate monster mod that includes the monsters from the other idtech one games and would allow one to choose which set of monsters would spawn in lieu of the normal monsters for that game, basically a way to mix and match monsters so to speak.

[TerminusEst13]

Is it just me or does Blaskowicz do a lot less damage per second than everyone else?

Well. BJ's machine gun shoots every six tics, which is the same speed as Corvus' Dragon Claw, but much less randomized damage. His Chaingun shoots every three tics, which is the same rate as the Plasma Rifle but gotten much earlier. His Flamethrower's RoF is seriously lacking, but I based it off this video as I couldn't download find a Mac version to test for myself.
That being said, I've been meaning to do direct damage comparisons for some time, so I'll be sure to check it out, thanks.

I'm...very reluctant to do this, or anything close to this. A lot of critters simply don't have equivalents in power or function in other games, and not to mention a lot of levelsets were designed with specific monsters in mind. Weapons are pretty flexible enough that they can alter a lot more dramatically as long as the role is the same, but enemies are so numerous that even the slightest change can affect play.

Alternately, have it so physical projectiles (bullets, icicles, etc.) pass through ghosts, while "energy" projectiles (fireballs, plasma, magic, etc.) and boss projectiles will hit them. Then again that would make Flemoids completely helpless.

Chex Quest doesn't get Partial Invisibility, so that's not too big a problem. And considering how rare Partial Invisibility pickups usually are and how short they last, I'm not sure expanding to some energy attacks as well would be too bad an idea. Still, I'll tweak the system with your idea and see how it is.

And 0.17 is released! I wish I could say there's one single overwhelming feature that shines everything out, but 0.17 is just generally better better better all around.
A very special thank you to Battery Black, Animal Mother, and others for being such diligent and thorough testers!

Screenshots/videos coming later, I'm fuckin' wiped, haha.

[Ethril]

Just for the record, it feels SO DAMN GOOD to kill an Archvile with the Firestorm. Thank you for making this possible.
(strictly speaking, it feels good to kill Archviles with anything, but giving them a taste of their own medicine makes it even better)

[dljosef]

I wonder who this next hero could be. Then again, playing as that one should be fun.

[insightguy]

I heard he was requesting psyguy (most likely using the psygirl sprites) and danny from Hacx. then again i could be wrong.

[dljosef]

Playing as BJ in Heretic, I found that the firemace is no longer replaced with the Weapon 7 pickup.

Aye, it's an amazing sensation to freeze them solid or baptize them in hellfire. Heal that, bitch.

Is this vanilla Heretic, or are you playing a levelset? And if so, what's the levelset and/or level so I can check it?

Zandronum only has seven slots for playing in offline mode, so with the heroes already in I only have two spaces left. With those two spaces, I have about five different options.

One option is a major cult classic.
One option was an immense hit but now has a terrible source port.
One option lost its source completely.
One option paved in a new direction entirely the way for the industry.
One option is known for pretty much just one good game.

[dljosef]

It was also in vanilla heretic last I checked, summoning the firemace weapon just summoned said firemace weapon instead of the Weapon 7 item.

Edit: I noticed that problem when I got to E1M4 in Hordes of Chaos, right at the start.

Aahh, that'd explain it. In vanilla Heretic, it doesn't spawn under Firemace, it spawns under MaceSpawner. You're summoning Corvus' Firemace directly.

I'll look into the Hordes of Chaos thing and see what i can do, though.

Guesses:
1.Blood?
2.Quake?
3.Powerslave?
4.Serious Sam?
5.Duke Nukem?

[XutaWoo]

2 and 3 are Shadow Warrior and Blood for sure.

Also, Serious Sam was innovative? What?

[rollingcrow]

The third one could be Strife.

[Zero X. Diamond]

Don't be silly, the third one is clearly Corridor 7: Alien Invasion.
