Apologies, I didn't follow the link, I only assumed it was relevant because of TCF's reply.

Will you replace the textures of Pinky, lost soul, mancubus, revenant, cyberdemon and arachnotron?

Ssitiss, I don't know. If we find some, we might.

Sounds more like oversight to me.
sidav wrote:Guys, what does SSG's Narrowed Cylinders upgrade mean? It just increases the absolute horizontal spread (thus decreasing the effective range of the weapon even more), or it means that the horizontal spread is the same, but vertical one is decreased?
"Decreases horizontal spread".

Means better accuracy. The horizontal spread is larger than the vertical spread. The upgrade decreases the spread to be even with the vertical (from 11.2 degrees to 7.1).

A few more things I'd like to add.

- The smoke from the rocket explosions looks full alpha, like an oil slick. Edit: Well, this is weird. It sometimes is and sometimes isn't. Edit 2: Okay, it happens after you kill a boss. Very odd bug. Edit 3: It has to do with SpiderMastermindDeathFX and the cyberdemon equivilent.
- The demon runes are fun as hell but overpowered as can be. It's basically an invuln sphere that lasts twice as long and gives you a bad ass weapon, usually, unless you're a pain elemental.
- The chainsaw idle is loud, enough to where I avoid walking around with it out. Dropping it 25% worked wonders.
- The scanner on the map is useful for this mod since getting 100% kills is pretty important. However, a lot of things that aren't monsters show up on the map making it borderline annoying.
- The haste powerup seems like it's supposed to double your fire rate but it seems to vary quite a bit. Certain weapons are boosted more than others.
- An option to make the casings and gibs stay longer would be nice. Not sure if the blood has any decals but that would be another welcome addition, some lasting blood. Not sure how many people could actually use it though, pretty demanding mod relatively.
- Berserk does absolute ridiculous damage, 300-500 per punch. Half that would be plenty to wreck house with.
- There's currently no way to tell how much ammo you need to alt-fire down an enemy with the chainsaw, since it varies depending on the health left. I propose that instead of pulling it back in and saying not enough ammo it just hits the guy for the full amount it can, based on how much ammo you have. It seems to do this sometimes already, against bosses anyway.

3rd post, hopefully the last. Been playing this mod for quite a while now, so thanks!

That's an engine thing. Any actor that doesn't have a certain flag set will show up on the automap with the scanner. There's a setting somewhere in the options menu that lets you display sprites instead of polygons on the automap, and the scanner becomes immensely useful with that setting turned on.

And you can select to display monsters in a different color, which is what I do. Monsters red. Big powerups and stuff like that as green, smaller pickups blue.

EDIT: NVM :P

I just got an idea...

What if you could do some kind of charge shot for the BFG, which would use the sound of the BFG when glory killing the Spider Mastermind?

Yeah, not sure why I didn't think of that before. Thanks for the tip.

No, that's what the carrion cannon is for, charging.

I think he means to emulate glory kill performed on the Mastermind in D'16.

Hi im loving the mod but there's no HUD.
I've tried changing the HUD setting but no signs of health indicator, armor indicator nothing. Just the number on the top right corner.
So any suggestions?

In a way, yes. I was just thinking you could use whatever "firing mode" was used in the glory kill for the Spider Mastermind. What happened there was a point-blank shot from a BFG at an unusual charge level. It'd be interesting to see where else and what else it can do...
