D4D - Announcement in 1st post (Jan 4th 2017)

This mod looks AWESOME!!!!!!!

- The Repeater may be "powerful", but on Ultra Violence it's only good to pick out enemies one by one. If you get mobbed with it, you're done.

It is a DMR, so it works best for long range, but that does not mean it is ineffective at mid-range. Perhaps its DPS is on par with HAR's even. But if you get mobbed, you need a DDTT/MT/LG/BFG, and quickly.

- I think for this it would be better to have a "Cash Multiplier" in the D4D Menu, and maybe an option for "Cash Bonus on Sequential Kills" (where if you kill X enemies in a row without the "Kill Combo" timing out, the bonus increases)

I approve of this idea.

- What's this?

I think he meant that you generally kill monsters in D4D faster than in vanilla Doom.

Strange bug to report. If you had the chainsaw idling and use "changemap" in the console you'll keep hearing the idling sound at random times no matter if you have it out or not.

It also happens when you exit a map normally. That's because the voodoo dolls also load the weapon too.

We had thought of this idea but ultimately rejected it. It would take too much time and this would rampantly run away on slaughterfest maps where you'd wind up with hundreds of thousands of credits in the blink of an eye.

So we added a hard purchasable permanent bonus instead.

Also since GZDoom 2.3 has now been released, I'm working on bringing up another version soon with some bugfixes and, spoiler warning, a new AI. Nothing much, but internally a lot of things have changed (like, say... kicking DECORATE out the door). The vast majority of the work is done, I just need DBThanatos to get on sometime and test it out.

Addon devs, for the following version after the aforementioned (with a couple exceptions coming out immediately and already implemented with the next release), you'll notice monster compatibility will be vastly streamlined and made a ton easier so you don't have to eschew your code with all that old (x)death crap anymore. There's also a new system for adding your own item drops at runtime and, with any luck, a system which lets you add what items you want to spawn in a replacer instead of replacing them directly for maximum mod compatibility. This way is HIGHLY recommended over the latter. Of course, some addons will want to maintain more control on their end, nothing I can do about that except to suggest duking it out with them.

More details on that soon when I manage to get something solid down. No idea when it'll be done, and no ETA either. I have a lot to do besides this.

D4D seems to barf chuncks to the new GZDOOM.

Yup. For now, stick with 2.2 until I can punch DBThanatos out of the holiday daze (or whatever he's going through)

Currently Im taking an indefinite break for anything D4D since Im honestly feeling displeased of where it's going.

[SyntherAugustus]

I wonder how much effort is needed to get it working with 2.3?

[snarkel]

Sorry if this is too early to ask or if someone has already asked this but are there any plans to bring in the new MP weapons from the DLC packs?

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Yes.

[Major Cooke]

I've already got a working beta up for 2.3, I just need to refine it a bit and boot it out the door.

As for what DBThanatos said, Kinsie, we're currently discussing it.

i love this weapon mod, but i think the bullet trails of machine gun and shotgun are very invasive in combats

You can select which type of trails to use, or even to disable them

[DBThanatos]

Sorry for the double post. Totally on purpose.

[DBThanatos]

Wut. Triple post?

Still has a purpose.
