That's why I went with a HUD display in the first place. Ahh! I think I misunderstood. You mean using the same "bars system" but using instead, the "power" icon, like the one displayed in the weapon, not displaying it IN the weapon. True. I'll rip the ones in the game (as they are actually blue in the HUD) and use that! :D
Exactly. :wink:

As for Flailgun bug, I use GZDoom version r1402. If it is any help at all...

That's quite a good thing! I was going to say, if you hadn't modified the behavior of the weapon or projectiles in a way that hadn't altered them from AEoD's at all, then I think it was safe to suspect Zdoom's code changes itself.

I scourged one bug up on Head Hunter, and another possible on Flailgun.

If you're next to window, zoom in, and aim just over the ledge, the bullet instantly hits wall, and the monster are frozen. For all time. Unless you try shoot again with Head Hunter properly. Then it cancels the freeze effect. Quite nasty exploit, if you ask me...

If one part of flail sticks to wall, and second one hits enemy, the first part is teleported to enemy and the wrapping animation happens.

As for Bouncer... I don't remember how it behaved in Bulletstorm, but uncharged shots can be shot down by enemy projectiles, like imp's fireball or cyberdemon's rocket.
And the charged shots of bouncer... they don't seem to respond well to my kicks, or tackle.
So, what I ask: Could you make charged bouncer ball bit more responsive to kicks? Aside from fun part, there's been few useful moments when I had to kick ball to other side of room.

For the headhunter bug: I'll look into that. Sounds bad enough.

About the flailgun: That one I think will have to stay that way. You know, the whole "flailed" concept is in a way, a big hack to achieve a visual effect.

Bouncer: The thing is, making it more "responsive" to kicks and stuff, means making the "hitbox" bigger, which at the same times, makes it much more likely to crash with a lot of things and it will stop fitting in the same places as before. I'll check how big can I make it before it screws things up.



Now, in case anyone is interested, the other day I started a "talkthrough" with doomstorm+equinox.

As for Headhunter, it is not just that you aim right above edge, you only need to be directly adjacent and aim to the wall and be fully zoomed in to activate monster freezing.
If you fire right away when not fully zoomed in, you sometimes are unable to move for few seconds, like when you hit someone.
This happened in both GZDoom versions r1402 and r1415.

As for Bouncer... Hmm. Instead of increasing the hitbox size of bouncer ball, how about making kick more receptive to bouncer ball? Hopefully I can explain my blabbering...
What I am trying to say, is it possible to code the kick being more bigger just only for bouncer ball? Or is there too much code to do?

As for your "talkthrough," it's was surprisingly entertaining. :thumb:

Whoa. Seems like the first half of this month flew away without me noticing :/

I have yet to find what's causing that issue with the headhunter. Though, I must admit, I havent done much editing at all lately.

Making the kicks more receptive to the ball? All I can think about is making some sort of "shotgun" attack with the kick, with a huge spread, but small reach, making sure it only affects the bouncer balls. It might be possible. I'll have to experiment a little with that.

And talking about the talkthrough: New level for it. :P

Well, because one person asked for it, here we go!

Im reuploading this mod with a TINY change of code that was preventing it from loading in the latest SVNs.

*** Where to get it? ***

Download the mod in the link below:
Sorry for Sendspace, but I dont know what website is being used these days
-->Download here<--


EDIT: REMEMBER, you have to use the custom reload key under the control settings.

If you need a fix for the headhunter, let me know.

Also, it'll be possible to do menus like Bulletstorm's purchase shop now.

Thanks, but I'll pass on the menus. I have found i like streamlined gameplay mods much better, and I'm keeping this very backwards compatible.
