the 700 pound gorrilla is noticeably absent in the room, much to my/our chagrin, but i'm optimistic that if we keep our eyes pealed johnny's gonna make us do the splits and go bananas. terrible puns aside, I/We hope you are doing well and making progress on one of the most well designed brutal doom mods ever made, and assuredly the most fun to play. I do hope to see something soon, and and always, let me know if you need my help and i'll see what i can do. I'm sure i'm not alone in that sentiment

So before the new version is released, here are some ideas on how to spruce up elements from my mod. If anyone has any ACS/HUD overlay know how, your help would be appreciated. I am currently absolutely sure of one thing: I am absolutely clueless on hud overlay and acs! so any help would be welcome.

---

Firstly, I'd like to make cigarettes a usable inventory item. basically, you'd use it and a short animation would play where you light one up and then add a hud element. you can currently force a used item to play an animation, but making cigarretes a hud element without removing the rest of the hud may be tricky. any ideas or code submissions would be most welcome. health would be regenerated 1 point every two seconds for a total of 30 HP (60 seconds) I'm assuming this would take ACS scripting.

Secondly, I'd do the same for whisky. you'd pour some whiskey in a shot glass and tilt your head back to take a drink. would regenerate armor 1 point every 2 seconds up to 30 armor (60 seconds). With the regenerative system, i'd have to do some sort of check to determine a time based benefit; i assume this would take ACS scripting.

Thirdly, and most important to me, I've worked in secret on a progressive inaccuracy system to make guns more tricky... I feel like a mixture of both recoil and progressive inaccuracy would make the guns more counter-strike like, so i'd like to add that in to all weapons except for shotguns, and the chaingun. The plasma rifle would have a similar system to the rifle. This i have pretty much to a science in a private mod i have been working on (pre-alpha), that for ACS/HUD related reasons may never reach the light of day. The Code is there, I just need to get my hands on the new version to implement it. And it will be the very first thing i do, without any doubts or hicups in mind.

Any other suggestions regarding the refinement of these tweaks is welcome, and any assistance would be even more welcome!

For cigarettes, I would make them give you guaranteed fatalities for 30 seconds or so after a smoke.
For whiskey - give that delayed health boost you think about for cigarettes, but also make them disable pain chance for a minute or so (which for the player means no grunting and, more importantly, no red flashes after getting hurt).
And as for recoil - I would vote against making progressive inaccuracy when firing continuously. It is annoying as all hell - the aim-altering recoil is much better, because you can learn how to counteract it. The progressive inaccuracy does not allow that and forces you to fire much more slowly, which in Doom (especially in Brutal Doom) is not an option, as you often have to fire for long periods of time with good accuracy (swarms of any flying monster, any faster monster with 'fast' modifier, even Arch-Viles by themselves).

I'M READY.

Well, that escalated quickly. Be careful to not get arrested for procuring

(no, seriously, I hope you live in a -still- Free World, with -actual- free speech allowed. I am from a postcommunist shithole that recently had an act allowing the "special forces" - among other things - to block ANY site on their whim, like in China. Maybe I should not post this here, but you know what? F*** them. I sincerely hope your country never gets a veritable martial-law-enabling-act passed. Sorry for this snippet)

I don't think that we're spamming or anything like that, we're just interacting and showing our enthusiasm for the next release. Everything so far has to do with J-DOOM, so, although it may not be important for the project per se, it is important for bringing the Doom community together. So let's just chill out and have a nice time

This will make the community whole again.

Lolz I love the ridiculousness, keep it coming! Also everything is finally final finalized. I said I was just playtesting last time but I lied and actually redid the melee system. It's a little different, but the same. Smooth as fuck now. You'll see! Also the pistol has been redone since the infinite ammo thing seemed to bother too many people. It's pretty legit and will be a deece part of your arsenal now. Think project msx assault pistol-ish. And yes, that means the fists are back. I made them fun to use on their own (especially when you rapid fire punch the shit out of corpses) and when combined with the knife they are more than formidable. Still last resort tier, but fun. Also affemaria, I took your advice on the vanilla weaps. There's a "chocolate" setting that has extra bullet damage and fast switching now.

Can somebody explain to me the details behind the psxdoom titlemap, as well as the titlemaps of spork's simplicity?

[Rowsol]

everything is finally final finalized.

The first post is still showing "NEW VIDEO DOES NOT REPRESENT CURRENT DOWNLOAD". Is this accurate?
