Doom 64 'weapons only' wad by Nevander

[Freaklore1]

I made a thread in General about requesting a wad wich contained only the weapons of Doom 64 (for ZDoom/GZDoom) since there wasnt any wad like that on internet.
Nevander gladly took on the offer and made it happen,so much apreciated of him for doing this.

Resources credits also go for Dreadflame,GuitarDeity and Footman for (Doom 64 WMI Redux),Midway for all Doom 64 sprites and sounds, osjclatchford and chronoteeth for the Desert Eagle pickup/side sprite wich was recolored and edited by Nevander, Aenima's Doom 64: Unabsolved shotgun pickup sprite and extra weapons,Hazebandicoot for the Unmaker upgrades drop spawn from cyberdemons/spidermastermind plus the pale blue plasma balls for the plasma guns and Cage's smoother animations of shotgun,super shotgun,chaingun and plasma rifle.And of course Nevander for doing the wad and editing,also credits are in the text file.

So i tested it and so far so good,i didnt see any bugs and such.

For those who are wondering,the Unmaker already start fully upgraded because Nevander decided to make it like that,also the Unmaker has a 25% chance of replacing the BFG,and Nevander said he would 'nerf' the weapon a little bit.

The Shotgun animation feels off for some reason (look into Wildweasel's tutorial about animating weapons, especially about 'weight'). But I like what I see so far.

Well the thing is that neither I or Nevander are sure if the extra animations for the shotgun,super shotgun,chaingun and plasma rifle are actually from Cage,Nevander took the sprites from Doom 64 WIM Redux that you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k57D9q8WJ74 , so if anyone can confirm if this is indeed Cage's extra animations.

About the shotgun reloading animation,if someone as something better for it,show us or explain how to make it better.

Just wanna tell everyone that i also made the download available on Mod DB site,so you can also download it there if something ever happen to the other download link.

[Nevander]

I found some stuff I want to add and work in to my own version, so an update to it will come. I hope and plan to change it so the upgrades to the Unmaker get incorporated, along with further tweaks. I'll let you know when I release a new version.

[Freaklore1]

With the help of HazeBandicoot,we Nevander was able to update the wad,once Version 2 wad is available i'll add it to the first post.

The edits are :

-The unmaker start without upgrades since Nevander found out how to make the upgrades drop from enemies thanks to HazeBandicoot.

-The shotgun reloading animation has been edited.

-The plasma rifle's plasma balls have been edited.

-Might also have other edits,wich i'll add once i tested the wad.

[Freaklore1]

Hey Hellser,what do you mean by the shotgun animation feels off ?

[Nevander]

Version 2 is done! Download below.

Main changes:
- You now spawn with the Pistol in hand instead of the fist!
- Shotgun rate of fire increased.
- Minor rate of fire increase to the Super Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Plasma Rifle.
- Unmaker now can be upgraded and the flash state upgrades with it.
- Adjustments to some sprite offsets for accuracy.
- Chaingunner attack sound changed from the Shotgun to the Chaingun.
- Unmaker's projectile speed increased to more closely match Doom 64's laser speed.
- Unmaker projectile trail edited to be more interesting.
- Plasma Rifle projectile and trail has been improved, more light blue and looks better.
- Plasma Rifle is now animated (it moves better on screen, looks more fluid).
- Sound effects and sexy dynamic lights added to the Demon Keys when they spawn.
- And more that I probably forgot...

Alright,tested it,everything seem okay like always.

I put the link to the download in the first post and also added a download page on Moddb.

[Nevander]

The extended version and main mod has been finished and updated!

Check here for latest download link

Main changes:
- Five new weapons added in extended version: Uzi, Flamethrower, Nailgun, Railgun, and the Devastator (automatic explosive shotgun... it's a beast)
- Standard Doom 64 weapons have had minor improvements
- The Unmaker is now even sexier than before
- The Super Shotgun and Devastator can now be obtained in The Ultimate Doom (in the previous version, it was actually impossible to get it in The Ultimate Doom without using cheats)
- Dropped items such as the Unmaker and its upgrades will no longer be crushed and vanish from the map
- All weapons (sans Chainsaw) will raise and lower on screen twice as fast for both versions of the mod; seeing how fast the weapons swapped in the new Doom made me want them to be quicker in original Doom as well, the results are refreshing
- Pistol now has a higher quality pickup sprite by using HI_START/HI_END namespace
- Bunch of other stuff I forgot

Changes in the 5/21/2016 version:
- Flamethrower infinite looping sound bug fixed
- Flamethrower first person sprite size adjusted
- BulletPuffs added to the Nailgun nail impacts into walls
- Nailgun nails will now stick into the wall instead of sticking on the very tip

Full credits are included in the WAD files themselves and alongside them in the text file. Please test and let me know of any problems or concerns.

Enjoy!

So i tried and i must say you did a great job again Nevander,especially on the extra weapons.

[Freaklore1]

So guys,version 3 is pretty much the definitive version of the mod,i dont think we will need more fixes/updates now,unless someone find some bugs.

If anyone would like to share their toughts on the mod,go ahead.

Oh and a question for Nevander about the devastator shotgun,how do the weapon fire ? By pellets or 1 concentrated pellet ?

It fires a projectile at very high speed which then spawns a bullet puff using the missile explosion frames. I did this so that it would show up when hitting anything in the game world, as normally bullet puffs don't spawn when hitting a bleeding actor. There's also a flag you can put on the actor to [wiki]Actor_flags#ALWAYSPUFF[/wiki] but this method works too.

[Freaklore1]

It's ok,i just wanted to know if it shot pellets in spread or 1 simple projectile.

Also how the damage input work with that weapon ? Sometime it take 1 shot to kill a imp and sometime 2 shots,while for pinky demons sometime it's 2 shots and sometime 3 or 4 shots.
