DUMP Episode 3: BFG Edition [map + weapons released]

[Luigi2600]

I'm going to join this project since i'm working on a new doom map. This time it will only have doom 2 textures due to last times incident.

I was digging through the stuff John Romero released in 2015 and found a finished version of the alpha bfg pickup sprite. I thought it looked cool so I was sort of inspired to make a bfg using a sprite that looks like it. Press fire to unleash tons of dark energy pulses. Press altfire for a plasma grenade

WEAPON:
- Download link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/696 ... Cannon.wad
- Name: DarkPulseCannon
- Credits: Base view sprite from id software, edit by me. Pickup sprite from id software, in the stuff dumped by Romero. Primary fire sound from Quake, Altfire sounds from Strife
- Tier: BFG Tier weapon

I wanted it to feel distinct from the "BFG 2704", but I'm not sure if I succeeded. ah well.

I also released a bugfix for my map

EDIT: Updated weapon to do a bit more damage for its altfire. larger radius, doesn't affect user. It's not amazing, but it works.

EDIT: actually works in zandy now.

being the huge-ass procrastinator, i only just started my map
i'll get it done, dammit!

maybe i'll even churn out that weapon i though about making
two days is more than enough to scramble something together

I like how it looks like it catches fire on the inside. maybe instead of the black smoke it could fire invisible "heat" projectiles.

Weelllllllllll apparently I suck at both ACS coding, and getting shit running in general.

Regardless, 2nd map

MAP: "Stop your sins" https://www.mediafire.com/?5kdq90ir9dvappr

Credits : Vanilla textures (too fucking lazy to use new ones...) http://modarchive.org/index.php?request ... ery=158247 this music

Quote. "I cant believe I could make 3 arial launching cacodemon arenas, and get stuck making a simple door. FML"

As the quote implies, I've tried EVERYTHING to get the final door to open when the final room is cleared, but ACS scripting is being a douche despite the first 2 working...apparently there are monsters SOMEWHERE that aren't showing up because kill monsters command opens it, yet clearing the room with a fast fire, infinite ammo bfg does fucking nothing, and changing tags does nothing.

Soooo, its not BEATABLE at the moment due to the door being stuck, but I give up with that, I'm sorry term but I just spent 5 hours and got nowhere...someone else fix it please, or just scrap it.

Regardless, if someone could test it I'd appreciate it. Its beatable(up till the damn wooden door), but you gotta use the full range of movement to your advantage. holding jump on bouncy surfaces in the first room enhances the bounce use this to dodge better.

Also, I would love to see someone try this with demonsteele....or fix my damn door.

The weapons need to be compatible with deathmatch, right?

[mumblemumble]

I really doubt it, since none of these maps really are going to be DM (99% sure). What do you mean compatible by the way? like COOP? how would a gun not work in coop / deathmatch? Balance?

[Mor'Ladim]

I have another weapon ready. I would have liked to have created more, but I foolishly spent my time tending to my Overwatch fever! Anyway, here is the weapon:

Name: Plasma Busters
Credits: Mor'ladim, Capcom, Konami, SNK, Sega, Insomniac Games. (Detailed credits in WAD)
Tier: Plasma Rifle

Definitely not my best work, as the weapon is rather basic. I wanted to create a weapon that utilizes the alt-fire of this current weapon, but I didn't have time to create new sprites. Therefore, I edited the sprites of my Raptor Handgun to make it appear more energy based, removed the blade alt-fire, and replaced it with this instead.

And again, the link for my previous weapon (with some suggestions taken into account): Iron Annihilator

These weapons are considered done, as far as major behavior and sprite work goes. Perhaps later I will tweak the brightness on some of the sprites, and add lighting to the Plasma Busters when they are fired. I still need to alter some of the Iron Annihilator code as well so it won't keep trying to switch firing modes when out of ammo for both types.

Just make it a key door and have the key drop after everything is dead or something along those lines.

[mumblemumble]

Problem isn't the door itself, its the fact I cannot make it happen after the room is cleared. I'm using ACS script for making the doors open when all the enemies die, and essentially a key drop would be the same thing, but different effect.

My issues is SOMETHING is wrong with the monster spawns, but I dont know what. Clearing the room doesn't make the door go, but kill monsters in console DOES, and even changing tags / changing which monsters that need to die doesn't help.... I'm really at my wits end as to why

[Jukem]

Here's an update to my gun that I totally didn't do a week ago and forgot to post here. Mostly balance changes, can't remember what exactly. Also I renamed it to Varia Launcher because Metroid (yes I know it doesn't make much sense but it sounds cool) I didn't rename the .pk3 so it's more obvious that it's and update and not a new gun

Well, I think he means how well a weapon in deathmatch is balanced, of course. You don't want a dm game where everyone is hoping to get that overpowered whatever weapon.

Ps. I WAS thinking of making a dm map, but term asked me to stop, and I stopped.

[FaggoStorm]

What? You know you will be able to use the weapons with other map packs, right? I can simply use the weapons with a DM map pack.

I was asking this because Kinsie balanced his gun to deathmatch, so I was asking if it was a requirement.

BTW, people aren't reading the part of the original post where it says "THE WEAPONS AND MAPS WILL BE SEPERATE". If someone is going to submit a map or weapon to a project, they should atleast read the original post with atention, but it doesn't seem the case. Just saying this because it already happened two times in less than a week '-'

[InsanityBringer]

After some debate, I've decided to adjust the altfire on my gun further. I reduced the radius back to 256, because at 512 it was incredibly easy to kill comically massive numbers of smaller enemies with it. I might break it down into two explosions, both doing 128 damage, but one damages the player also. This would make uncareful usage of it dangerous, while not being so punishing. For the moment it still doesn't damage the player. grab the update here (also in submission post)

[TheMightyHeracross]

Take me out of this, sorry. Cross country practice takes too much time, and I'm too tired to map.
