MetaDoom v7.1 "Ghost" - This Mod Has Moved. See OP for details.

Oh so that explains why I was unable to use a captured dog. Good to know.

Other than that, pretty good update. The shotgun grenade now feels punchy enough to be usable, and overall most of the current equipment feels right.

Now with optional few wolf SS enemies? Tasty! But still i have some gripes to share;

---

- Hell knight and Baron of hell's attacking animation is bit unstable; They jitters when attacking. Unless it's intentional, better set them right!

Also Now HK and BOH can fight each other. And BOH's spawned red pillars when landed seems hurting it; it leaves green blood on the wall when contact. And if i spawn them in a console, they shows their vanilla looks for a second.

- Chaingun's fire and turret fire still has quiet volume. Well, even though i set the sound volume to max, they are still quiet.

- Just figured it out; Mancubus' flames doesn't have decal.

- Say, now archvile spews blood and guts when dies? Then i hope i can see the blood and guts flinging from the boss monster's death-plosion! They're obviously pain to against with too.

- Wolfenstein SS just got lively thanks to optional addon, but something's missing. This one. Because of lacks resources?

- Commander keen replacements from the addon still blocks you even they're dead or splattered. Intentional?

This update is just lovely, now it's getting good ever and ever! Also, i want to donate more for you, but it's getting slowly due to working on the project of mine and others. Hope i'm not getting late!

They don't actually take any damage from BaronSpikes. Or at least, they shouldn't.

And if i spawn them in a console, they shows their vanilla looks for a second.

Every monster spawner will now look like the vanilla monster for the moment they spawn. It not visible in gameplay unless you're using the summon cheat, the freeze mode cheat, or the monster is set to Dormant by the level designer (which is why I added this).

- Say, now archvile spews blood and guts when dies? Then i hope i can see the blood and guts flinging from the boss monster's death-plosion! They're obviously pain to against with too.

I have plans to give a full revamp to the Bosses, giving them all sorts of nasty tricks.

Thanks for the rest of the reports, I've noted them down.

It's a relief then, but splatting green blood on the wall when touches the spike still remains. Any ideas?

EDIT: Plus, Phantom's projectile and Hellrazer's laser doesn't have decal. But is HR's no decal laser intentional? Also Phantom bleeds red either.

Here is something interesting: Punching a Hell Knight right when its jumping animation starts will send it flying into the air.

NOTE: This was designed for GZDoom 2.2.0.

Kinsie Strikes Again! This is Awesome!

Now that there's four active "throwable" items, it might be a good idea to implement hotkeys for each item, for convenience sake. Trying to switch to dog collars when you got a shield wall equipped in the heat of battle is a bit annoying.

I'm a bit bummed that the Wolfenstein enemies are an optional addon, but I can understand. This is not "Meta-id" after all.

Also, PSA: Don't play this with nuts.wad. Or any Doom mod, really.

What do treasures do again?

What do treasures do again?

Just increase your score.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Nothing else? At least, in Wolfenstein 3d, they would refill your health and give you an extra life.

That's the route I'm gonna take with the WolfSS, anyway.

I was actually wondering about those. Is there a chance of them being occasionally replaced with nazis from the Muse Software games, or anything from RtCW onwards? I mean I know this is MetaDoom and not MetaWolf, but I still think it'd be neat to see what happens when something from outside the franchise gets the same "combining versions of it from across the franchise" treatment.

Wow I called it. But I feel like the pre-3D Nazis should occasionally drop grenades because I think that was a thing that happened in those games, and also the non-Nazis of the SNES version should sweat instead of bleed.
EDIT: Maybe they could also sometimes just be Zombiemen and Chaingunners, as a reference to earlier and later versions of Doom 2.

When I considered how the hanging Keens might be handled, I was expecting to see Vorticon trilogy Keen, Pajamas Keen, and GBC Keen among the originals, but that's just me your way works fine.

[Trusty McLegit]

Really like the HUD, but it would be nice if for the alternative HUD (not sure what you call it, the one where the gray bar around the HUD is gone and the weapon sprite lowers a little) if the mugshot was gone and the other parts of the HUD pushed more the the sides of the screen. As it is now it feels just a little intrusive. Great mod otherwise, keep it up!

[Major Cooke]

Rumor has it that your blood splatters are starting to cause massive slow-downs because of blood pools. Kinsie, can you check?

If this is a regression issue caused by flat sprites Graf and I need to know about it.

Apparently, shooting the two barons too much on E1M8 makes it unplayable.
