Weapons only get crushed in doors if they've been dropped, IIRC.

I must say Nevander i really dig this texture pack,but not just the textures,the color palette too is quite nice.

It makes the environments more rusty and metallic or castle/gothic,it's exactly what you would expect of Doom 64 and Quake.

As for the color palette,it's quite nice expecially since the enemies are also affected by the color change.

I know right, that PLAYPAL and COLORMAP is awesome. Have you tried it with the vanilla Doom weapons? The Plasma Rifle colors when fired are incredible. Even vanilla Doom looks awesome with that new palette and colormap.

this is great fun. goes well with...well everything map wise! lol... I added nashgore.wad to mine but had to re add in the gore for the chaingunner and shotgunners. :wink: also added shell ejection too cos I like that... but that's just me... its real fun to play wads like tnt or even doom2 with these weapons, textures and palette... whole new (yet old? :? ) feeling to it all...

one thing I might suggest though, if I may, is using a_recoil on the ssg to make it even more like it was in doom64 and a_quake (or something similar)on the chaingun to replicate the camerashake that's missing too... just food for thought is all...

You added nashgore to this and shell casings to this? Mind sharing how you did it or sharing the wad for it?

Well when me and Nevander talked about how the weapons would work,i suggested putting no recoil to make the guns more fitted for vanilla gameplay,go check the other thread wich you will find the link in the first post,it will explain everything.

Also about the chaingun,im not sure it's a good idea to add a camera shake effect,not because of the 'look' it will give but because of the reliability of the weapon.

The Uzi is already a better choice than the chaingun if you use the wad with the additional weapons because it is more acurate for hitting targets at a longer distance,while the chaingun bullets spread a bit more unless you shoot in small bursts.

So adding a camera shake or recoil would make the chaingun even less reliable.

edit: it's ok if you want to add some stuffs to this mod to better fit your taste,but the mod is quite fine the way it is now.It's a simple D64 weapons mod with vanilla behaviour,adding other stuffs would be a bit too much and break the purpose of the planned weapons behaviour

I don't mind sharing the pk3 But will currently not because, as yet, do not have permission to do so. because, as yet, I've not asked for it due to the fact I figured noone would want such a slight addon for what is already a 'solid' mod... :shock:
however
if ok with Freaklore1 and nevander then sure I guess? :wink:

ok get this point

but this I disagree on personally. I've done it and I works fine and has very little effect on the effectiveness tbh

still, stick to your guns (pun intended). suggestions are just that. only a suggestion. If its not how you want it then so be it...

I dont mind if you share that slight modification as long as it's separate from the original mod,you'll also need to wait for Nevander authorisation.

ok understood. tbh I wasn't intending to do so at all as its a bit poor taste in the official thread of the original mod to start slapping ad-ons in left right and centre. I probably would not like it... still I guess its been done before on things and I've been the guilty party then too... (trailblazer :oops:) easy to get overexcited about personal preferences and want to share LOL

the additions I've made are to put nashgore.wad in the start of the load order (after lud's custom difficulty mod, of course :wink: ), then the weapons, textures and palette files, then my little d64fix.pk3 at the end as it works via crude overwriting and inheritance...

Whoops, forgot to add "with mod authors' permission first" to my post. :oops: I think it's good to have a few options open for slight mods to mods. Nothing crazy though. As stated the mod is incredibly solid as is :)

Hey I'm all for adding more awesome stuff to it! What I would actually like the most is the shell casings. I like the way that the PSX Doom TC does this.

Another thing that I like is the reverb effect. I'd like to try to apply that effect universally to any map if possible, as to be optionally used with this mod as well.

Making various addons for this mod is a great idea so it's all fine by me. Make and release what you'd like! :wink:
