Comfy Doom v2

[TerminusEst13]

Big fan of vanilla gameplay? It's time to get comfy!

Comfy Doom is a vanilla gameplay mod that uses no new sounds, no new sprites, no new graphics, nothing, just quietly tweaking a few values in order to make things more comfortable. Originally made in honor of a friend's birthday, he was so pleased with it that I decided to release it to the public.

Load up on your favorite mapset of choice and go through a chunk of levels, have a blast!

Did you play it?

No, really, did you actually play it instead of running through map01 after Give All?

Comfy Doom is a complete misnomer, a jokewad intent on changing the weapons subtly so as to make them as UNcomfortable as possible. The reliable, staple functions and features we all love so much have been twisted...very slightly. Very subtly, in order to nudge at the back of the player's head.

CHANGES:
Pistol: Pre-fire delay was increased from 3 tics to 5. Randomly goes to 10. Muzzleflash occaisionally desynchs to 12 tics instead of 7. Frames are now mirrored.
Fist: Picking up Berserk permanently takes away Fist.
Chainsaw: Randomly stops. Randomly fires at half speed.
Shotgun: Pre-fire delay increased from 3 tics to 5. Bullets occaisionally fire lower than the crosshair.
Super Shotgun: All bullets veer to the left of the crosshair. Autoaim renders bullets flat. All sounds play five tics late. Random 12-tic delay on refire.
Chaingun: Desynched muzzleflash. Can no longer snipe.
Rocket Launcher: Explosion no longer fullbright. Movement rendered jerky. Slightly slower speed (reduced from 20 to 18). Random chance to just drop out of mid-air. Sprites are incorrectly offset. Rocket very slightly adjusts to the side.
Plasma Rifle: Bolts damage you. Very slightly adjusts your angle and pitch.
BFG9000: Randomly does not fire.
Global: Suicide messages now say a zombieman killed you. Weapons (BFG aside) no longer leave decals. HUD face slightly off-center. HUD no longer gives information on BFG. All health pickups heal for slightly less. The obscure compatflag compat_allowmonsterautoaimonpain is now enforced.
Enemies: Imps and zombies have a very rare chance of playing an Archvile's see sound on see.
Player: Player's viewheight increased from 41 to 43. Player can no longer run when under 5% health. A player's pitch will be randomly nudged down one notch at a random time between 1 to 5 seconds.

Special thanks to _sink and Eric for helping out with ideas.

awesome, its improved and polished like a true Bethesda product (as it should be, they really need to make this part of the bfg edition)

[Xeotroid]

I never thought that Doom could calm me so much without increasing the violence! Also, my non-existent OCD just said "Wow, I should go away!". Thank you!

No really, this is a really good joke, perhaps better than the Extreme Weapons Pack.

Is everyone feeling comfy? Why not settle down and play a little bit of your favorite game this evening?

He knows me.

Feature suggestions for next version:

- Installs CIH virus on user's hard drive
- Calls nearest pizza joint and randomly places orders between 5 - 10 pizzas to be sent to the user's house

[Seidolon]

This would be a good prank wad. You should try making one that only affects player 2 or something. That'd be a pain in the ass though.

just what the crap does that compatflag do anyway? (I love how even the font that enforces it is maximally uncomfortable to look at)

[Jimmy]

This is terrible and I hate you and this is great.

List of feature ideas because I am an evil bastard:

• Light source decorations, key cards and powerup spheres no longer fullbright.
• Keys, health bonuses and armor bonuses no longer animated.
• Weapons randomly lower as if player is out of ammo.
• Barrels randomly don't detonate, just disappear. (Or sometimes explode instantly.)
• Animated textures are slower? Jitter?
• Bad kerning on the message font?
• Cyberdemons and spider masterminds no longer have see sound.
• Set the skies to scroll at almost imperceptibly slow speed.
• Fast door sounds replaced by slow door sounds.
• Teleport sound randomly not played.
• BFG consumes 41 cells.
• Misalign the % signs on the HUD.
• Enemy projectiles randomly gain their Nightmare skill speed boost.
• A script on level startup uses ReplaceTextures to randomly reassign key marker textures.

Do this.

Music and sounds should have a chance to just not play.

Improving Idea's

Large lens flare on all light's!!!! Use Adobe Photoshop to make Flare's too improof Realism
Right Hand The Double Shot Gun And The Shot Gun We Know Doomguy IS A Rightie Look At THe Title Screen! Its Cannon!
Delay monter death's like Quake (the True DooM ]I[ ) did in It's Betta Verison!!!
Soolid Blood!!!!!!!!
5-bit angle precision (32) for projectile's
6-bit angle precision (64) for player just like Quake ][(the True DooM IV)

Well, it's a little subtle, but it

does absolutely nothing

[mumblemumble]

Amazing mod as usual term. Great gameplay changes. But as for how i really feel..

---

Gotta say, pretty much everything in this is subtle enough to piss you off without knowing why, though running into plasma for me was a bit too obvious. That and losing berserk fist, i would instead suggest berserk punches have a 1in 6 chance to play the animation of punching without actually punching. Or randomly throwing the punch trajectory off a good 25 degrees. Or all of that. And for plasma, perhaps instead fire rate suddenly dropping, it stopping like the chainsaw, occasionally firing 10 plasma at once (and playing that ear grating sound 10x over) or perhaps even random velocities, or even getting the trigger "stuck" (this could apply to plasma, chaingun, chainsaw for anywhere from half a second to one and a half, and makes people think their mouse is wigging out)

I would honestly consider making a few things more subtle. Maybe fucking with more animations (give the fist s fast, and then really slow looking animation. Perhaps even on skipping straight to impact frame then back)

Oh and simulated lag spikes with freeze... Is this possible?

[YukesVonFaust]

Oh and simulated lag spikes with freeze... Is this possible?

well, the A_Random mod did that one...
so is SpeedUpMyDoom (which uses Freezing instead)...
so, possibly yes.
