Sweet mod! One thing I noticed though was when you altfire the sonic railgun, there is one misaligned frame of animation way off to the left. Also, I really like that HUD! If you have time, I would really love a standalone version.

That is strange! Alt-fire for me seems to be fine without any sprites looking wonky. Care to show me what you mean somehow? Also I can make a standalone version of the HUD for you sometime this weekend unless someone else wants to do it for you.
BFG wrote:glad to see this back, did you take over from Aerial and Ghastly (the original creators)?
I am Aerial. I just went back to using the name "Faerlyn" years ago to avoid confusion with the Aerial from ZDaemon.
I've actually managed to find the cause of this. I noticed that it isn't happening in ZDoom or Zandronum. However on GZDoom the "Rendering Interpolation" option is causing the bug. In GZDoom 2.1.1 and prior the issue doesn't happen however (which was the latest version when I did the smooth Sonic Rail). I'm not actually sure how I could fix this or if I even can.
And here's my updated bestiary for Hard Doom, to coincide with V8.
Spoiler:
Hard Doom Bestiary V8
Originals
Dual-Pistol Zombie
Health: 20
Attacks:
Dual Pistol Shots
-Shoots five shots from his pistols; a double shot, followed by three single shots
-Each bullet deals 5-15 damage per shot.
-25-75 damage should all five shots connect.
Info: This zombie is a great step up from the default zombieman...in terms of damage, anyway. He still goes down easily.
Faceless Shotgunner
Health: 30
Attacks:
Shotgun
-Shoots seven pellets for 4-12 damage per pellet
-Up to 84 damage at close range
Info: He is much more dangerous up close this time. Keep your distance, and snipe him when you can
Skull Chaingunner
Health: 70
Attacks:
Dual Chainguns
-Two pellets at the same rate of fire as a vanilla chaingunner
-Same 5-15 damage per bullet.
Info: Getting too close to this guy is suicide. Avoid his line of sight and snipe him.
Dark Imp
Health: 60
Attacks:
Dark Fireball
-4-36 Damage
-Slightly faster than a vanilla Doom imp's fireball
Blood Fireball
-6-48 damage
-Weaves a little
Slash
-6-60 damage up close
Info: They are not much stronger than normal imps, but be aware of the red fireballs.
Mauler Demon
Health: 150
Attacks:
Bite
-8-80 damage upon hit.
Info: Keep as far away from big groups of these guys if possible. SSG is your best bet here.
Lurker
Info: Same stats as Mauler Demon, but be aware of them in dark rooms.
Rictus
Health: 100
Attacks:
Fireball
-2-16 damage on a direct hit
-5 extra radius damage
-Can fire a few at a time
Kamikaze
-10-80 damage on direct hit
-Up to 32 splash damage over a fairly wide radius
-Only uses it if he's at 20 hp or lower
Info: Thought vanilla lost souls were annoying? Good news? they instead pelt you with fireballs, and save their charge attack as a last-ditch move. They Bad news? The suicide charge attack can very easily kill you without armor.
Agathodemon
Health: 400
Attacks:
Homing Fireballs
-4-36 damage per hit
-Fired in sets of two
Big Fireball
-8-64 damage per hit
-Fast, and has a trail accompanying it.
Bite
-20-120 damage
Info: The Agathodemon is a much tougher cacodemon in terms of firepower, even if his health hasn't changed. An SSG or a Quad Shotgun for up close is a must. Have groups infight with other enemies.
Archon of Hell
Health: 500
Attacks:
Claw swipe
-20-200 damage per hit
-Can chain into a one-two combo, followed by a double swipe
Fireballs
-8-64 damage per hit, faster than vanilla
-Fired in sets of three or a salvo of six
Comet
-10-100 damage on direct hit
-64 explosion damage
-Can easily one-shot players at 100 health without armor
Info: This guy is no joke, especially at close quarters. His fireball spreads can lead to infighting with other enemies, as well as his comets. A point-blank Quad Shotgun blast (from the alt-fire) can easily one-shot him.
Bruiser Demon
Health: 1000
Attacks:
Claw Swipe
-20-200 damage per hit
Bruiser Ball
-16-128 damage per hit
-Has a chance to throw a second one
Bruiser Spreadshot
-8-64 damage per ball
-Thrown in a spread of five
-has a chance to throw a second set
Explosive Fire Spreadshot
-16-128 damage per explosive fire, with up to an additional 48 radius damage.
-Unleashed in a set of three that fans out
-Hugs the ground, meaning it can still get you from chasms
-A nightmare to avoid in tight spaces; conversely, the attack becomes much less effective in a sufficiently wide-open area
Info: This guy will make you wish you were fighting the vanilla barons all over again. One upside, he isn't immune to splash damage.
Fusion Cannon Arachnotron
Health: 500
Attacks:
Fusion Cannon Shots
-5-40 damage per shot
-Can travel across the map quickly
-Fired constantly in a spread pattern
Info: He is quick to blanket his position in energy shots, meaning he can potentially be dealing lots of damage to his own allies, but the attack is still very tough to avoid. A point-blank quad shot alt-fire can really take him down quickly; rockets can also work nicely.
Pain Elemental
Health: 400
Attacks:
Summon Rictus
-Can summon rictus skulls.
Bite:
-10-100 damage per bite
Info: The pain elemental can not only summon rictus skulls, but he can also bite now if you are thinking of going melee. Can spawn three skulls upon death.
Revenant
Health: 300
Attacks:
Right Hook
-12-120 damage per punch
Tracing Rocket
-10-80 damage per rocket
-Fired in one or two sets of two
Info: This revenant, now having glowing red eyes and black "shorts" has decided to make use of his shoulder-mounted launchers. Hope you got significant firepower if you meet large groups of these guys.
Daedabus
Health: 600
Attacks:
Fireballs
-10-80 damage per fireball
-Fired in sets of three for the first two set, followed by the third set having five
-Tight spread makes dodging difficult
Info: Keeping your distance while plugging away at this monstrosity is a must, especially when dodging up close is very difficult. Don't even bother with melee for this guy.
Diabolist
Health: 700
Attacks:
Fire Pillar
-Same damage as a Vanilla Archvile
-Flame pillar now deals 1-2 damage per tick
Info: Don't bother with the old archie trick behind a pillar, as his flames can actually hurt you this time. Be thankful he has no other attacks.
Spider Demolisher
Health: 3000
Attacks:
Twin Super Chainguns
-5-15 damage per pellet
-Six pellets at a time
BFG Shot
-See BFG damage on the Doom Wiki
-Very high chance for instant kill on direct hit
-Secondary tracers only kick in if targets are within the demolisher's line of sight
-Can fire a second shot
Info: The spiderdemon had apparently gotten herself a massive upgrade in arsenal. Now she can use the BFG and twin chainguns against you. Try the BFG trick against her at your own risk.
Cyber Annihilator
Health: 4000
Attacks:
Rocket Salvo
-Same damage as a player's rocket
-Fired in three sets of two
Homing Rocket Salvo
-10-80 damage on a direct hit, plus up to 64 radius damage
-Fired in three sets of two
-Really fucking difficult to dodge
Info: And the cyberdemon had just gotten a more badass upgrade. Pray that you do not fight him in areas with little cover. Especially from his homing rockets.
Alt Variants
Sonic Railgun Zombie
Health: 20
Attacks
Sonic Railgun Light Shot
-3-6 damage per shot
-Rapid fire
-Very accurate
Sonic Railgun Charged Shot
-20-30 damage
-Fires when charged
-Very accurate
Info: He deals fairly good damage with his charged shots, which happen if you let him wander for too long. The regular shots aren't too noteworthy; if you floor him, he may drop the gun himself.
Rocket Zombie
Health: 25
Attacks
Rocket
-Same damage as a player rocket
-Can also damage himself with it
Info: This guy is very dangerous in spite of his low health. He's a high-priority target to take down, but he also isn't very bright. He doesn't care if his allies are in the way, meaning he is more of a danger to himself and his comrades than you, but eating a rocket to the face from a grunt is NOT a fun time to be had all the same.
Super Shotgun Zombie
Health: 30
Attacks
SSG Blast
-20 pellets adding up to 50-150 damage at close range
-Can one-shot at full health without armor
Info: Another very dangerous zombie variant. He somewhat frequently spawns among the shotgunners, and can make quick work of you at close range. Make him your high-priority target.
Quad Shotgun Zombie
Health: 38
Attacks
Single Shot
-Up to four shots for the same damage as the standard shotgunner
-Reloads after the fourth shot
Full Quad Blast
-40 pellets dealing up to 100-300 damage; can easily one-shot you without armor
-Only uses it when you're up close, and hadn't fired a single shot before then
-One use before reloading
Info: The most dangerous of the shotgunners, especially up close. He has a chance to drop a quad shotgun for your own use, should you drop him. He's most vulnerable when reloading.
Minigunner
Health: 70
Attacks
Minigun
-Same minigun bullet damage, but at twice the fire rate
Info: No less dangerous than the twin chaingunner, the minigunner can shred you just as quickly with his weapon. Should you kill him, he has a chance to drop his minigun.
Pyro Imp
Health: 60
Attacks:
Claw
-6-60 damage per swipe
Fireball
-4-36 damage on a direct hit, with an additional 10 radius damage
-Thrown in sets of three
Info: Not much harder than the dark imps, the pyro imps have a more likely tendency to kill off some of the weaker enemies.
Cyber Fiend
Health: 200
Attacks
Bite
-8-80 damage per bite
Charge
-6-60 damage per charge
-Has limited rage
Info: This demon has the rare chance to leap at you to try to take a bite out of your sorry face. SSG is still a good choice against him.
Visage
Health: 100
Attacks:
Charge Attack
-Charges if you're up close
-5-50 damage per hit
Frost Ball
-5-40 damage per hit
-Fairly fast
Info: This rare skull is much less dangerous than the rictus. It shatters upon death.
Necrodemon
Health: 400
Attacks:
Bite
-20-120 damage per bite
Poe Fireball
-6-48 damage per shot
-Fired in either a set of three or five
Poe Tracer
-8-64 damage per shot
-Homes in on you rather quickly
Info: At least this demon does not pull the gimmicky shadow clone trick the original poe demon did. Treat this like an upgraded Agathodemon
Cracko Demon
Health: 500
Attacks:
Bite
-20-120 damage per bite
Electroball
-8-64 damage per ball
-Fired in either a set of three or a spread of seven
Soul Missile
-15-120 damage on a direct hit, with up to 64 splash damage
-Also explodes into eight electroballs on impact
-Very fast
Info: This demon is not one to be taken lightly. Keep your distance from him, or try the point-blank quad shotgun alt-fire if you're feeling very confident you won't see his soul missile attack.
Hell's Fury
Health: 500
Attacks:
Claw
-20-200 damage per swing
Red Fireball
-8-64 damage per ball
-Fired in sets of three
Homing Skulls
-5-40 damage per skull
-Homing, but slow; fired in sets of three
Hell's Fury Skull
-See Rictus Kamikaze
-The demon's last-ditch move
Info: This guy isn't too noteworthy on his own, but his final "fuck you" move comes in the form of the rictus skull that is his head that will come flying at you the moment anyone finishes him off. It is every bit as dangerous as a rictus skull's kamikaze move. His other noteworthy attack is the homing skulls, which can be blocked by objects or walls.
Pyro Demon
Health: 1000
Attacks:
Claw
-20-200 damage per swipe
Fire Shot
-12-96 damage per shot, with up to an additional 32 splash damage
-Shot in sets of three
Pyroblast
-Massive explosion damage on a direct hit
-Pyroballs, for some reason, deal zero damage
Comet Rain
-Each comet does 5-40 damage with an additional 40 explosion damage on a direct hit
-Tends to miss foes often in wide-open areas
Info: This demon is as big a nightmare to fight as a bruiser demon. Be thankful he lacks the explosive teleportation (which his bestiary counterpart abused the hell out of) to come right into your face and take off a huge chunk of health and armor upon reappearing. (If not outright murdering you.)
Mk. III Arachnotron
Health: 500
Attacks:
Mk. III Shot:
-5-40 damage per shot
-Doubled in fire rate
-Travels really fast
Info: Although, thankfully, he lacks the spreadfire cannon, his twin plasma cannons make the vanilla arachnotron look like a regular chaingunner. Keep in cover before he starts firing. (Or use him against some of his allies.)
Ancient Apparition
Health: 400
Attacks:
Frost Breath
-4-36 damage per puff
-Can quickly add up at close range
Visage Spawn
-Spawns visage skulls
Info: Trade the melee attack for an ice breath, and you have a somewhat less painful version of the pain elemental. Beware the visage skulls, though.
Hellfire Revenant
Health: 300
Attacks:
Punch
-See Revenant
Hellfire Missile
-10-80 damage on a direct hit, plus up to 64 splash damage.
-Homing and fast
Info: This guy is a fair bit nastier than the regular revenant (who is a pain in the ass already), considering his rockets are faster and more damaging. He has the same health, therefore a quad shotty alt-fire up close can take him out quickly.
Mafibus
Health: 600
Attacks:
Fire Comets
-10-80 damage per comet
-Fired in sets of four, five, and six.
Info: This guy has a unique ability, making him fire an extra comet to his next set if you remain in his sight. Deal with him like you would a daedabus, but mind the extra comets.
Shadowvile
Health: 700
Attacks:
Shadowflame Pillar
-Same damage as the diabolist, down to the damaging fire
Wraith Barrage
-8-64 damage per wraith
-Homing
-Fired in a barrage of five
Info: Besides from the deadly wraith barrage attack, he acts the same way as the diabolist. He's also a bit harder to see.
Dark Demolisher
Health: 3000
Attacks:
Twin Super Chainguns
-See Spider Demolisher
Dark BFG10K Shot
-Up to 160 damage on a direct hit
-REALLY fast
-Fires up to six at a time
Info: This rare spider demolisher variant has the dreaded BFG10k weapon, which is almost impossible to dodge. Dont' even think about taking this baddie on in a close-range shotty battle. The dark demolisher will drop the bfg10k once she goes down.
Dark Cyberdemon
Health: 4000
Attacks:
Dark BFG10K Shot
-Same as the Dark Spidermastermind.
Dark Homing Rockets
-Same damage as a player's rocket, albeit fired in sets of three
-Really difficult to avoid.
Info: This cyberdemon is much deadlier, due to having the BFG10K and homing rockets. Pray that you do not meet him in enclosed areas; taking him down will grant you the same weapon the Dark Demolisher drops.
Secret Level-only enemies
SS Guard
Health: 50
Attacks:
Machinegun
-Same 5-15 damage per bullet
-Pauses shortly between every two shots
Info: Same kind of Wolfenstein SS chump as usual.
Officer
Health: 50
Attacks:
Pistol
-10-30 damage per shot
-Fairly accurate from midrange
Info: This guy is quick on the draw, and can put you down a little more easily than the SS guards.
Mutant
Health: 65
Attacks:
Chest-Mounted Pistol
-10-30 damage per shot
-Around the same rate of fire as the SS Guard, and won't stop firing
Info: This guy is a much more dangerous version of the SS Guard. Kill him as quickly as possible; groups of him can quickly put you down, if they don't shoot each other to death first.
Hangman
Health: 100
Attacks:
Hangman Ball
-4-36 damage per ball
Info: This guy only takes the place of commander keens. He's very rare in level sets anyway, so seeing him shouldn't be an issue. Killing him isn't much of a problem, either, if you got ammo.

Thanks a bunch for that! I was too lazy to update the text file for v8 within the mod itself. I added it to the main post I hope that is ok with you.
GAA1992 wrote:Nooooo, that's one of the things i liked most about this.
Should give it a try! In most cases shotgun starting isn't required anymore. Most maps usually put a weapon near the start or Shotgunners which you will now drop the shotgun from.
