[Release] The Trailblazer - 1.5e

A suggestion. Why not have the Spontaneous Freedom upgrade make the leadspitters only shoot those rockets? Kinda like a gyro jet pistol.

ChromeJusticeSonicfire projectiles spawns too much on right, which cause unable to hit target if player try shoot near wall from right

It would lag way too much due to particle overdose, and it would make it too good on its own. Plus it would lose the hitscan capabilities.

Same goes for every other weapon. Won't move them, as then their origin point won't match the barrels. As much as it's mostly an aesthetic thing, I don't feel like dealing with it by centering all projectiles.

[DoomKrakken]

The problem has nothing to do with how far to the right the projectiles spawn. It actually has to do with their fairly large radius/height. The sonic fire has a radius of 11 units, which means each projectile has a width of 22 units. It also has a height of 7 units. If you centered the offsets of the projectiles (which by the way would make it look like the Trailblazer himself is spitting fire while his gun is spontaneously heating up), it'd change nothing. I'd think if you'd really want to change something, you'd want to change the radius and height of the projectiles. Unfortunately, that means that the projectiles themselves will have less of a chance of hitting enemies, and won't spend as much time ripping through enemies... thereby decreasing overall damage. I haven't tested this, though, but I believe that it might not decrease the overall damage by that much, since the trails that the sonic fire spawns leave explosions.

Welp then get ride of some of the particles effects. This mod needs rocket launcher smgs bro. Or have the rocket launching more consistent. Like shoots a rocket after every 3 or 5 rounds fired. Anyways just a suggestion

I already had cut 50% of the particles there before the release. If I'll cut them any further, then it will cease looking what I wanted it to be. And no, I wanted it to be fired at random - else it won't be spontaneous.

No, it's the core of the problem here.

Alright I get it chief it's your mod. So you do whatever you want with it. Another suggestion I have would be to have a dedicated sniper rifle replace the FMG sniper mode. It can have its own ammo. Be semi automatic with a small clip of 8 or 10. The upgrade could make it full auto with slow RPM and a extended mag of 15. The blue print can be a penetrating round that goes through multiple enemies and a layer of wall.

You could also replace the FMG upgrade with something else. Like Ricochet rounds. Again just an idea. You don't have to like it.

Yes thank you for noticing.

[erni945]

Pillow, I have a question, can you just fix the replacement of items in hexen and release this fixed version again? If not then of course I will understand it

[DoomN00b]

Currently trying out Trailblazer 1.4a and it's rockin'!

There's a couple of things I'm curious about though - apparently you can upgrade your guns for even greater mass-murder-potential - how does one do that??

Another note, what would everyone consider to be a good map-set to play the game with? Currently using "Going Down", myself, with good results.

But it would be cool to have some sort of officially packed in map-pack, methinks... a bit like how Brutal Doom has the Starter Pack.

SO! What would a potential Blazer-pack look like??


I figure it could have enemies based on the units in Red Alert 2 used as the basis!

1. Conscript
(Sergeant zombie-reskin)

2. Cyber Attack Dog
(instead of pinkies, new harrasser enemy)

3. Tesla Trooper (machinegunner reskin, now shoots electricity)

And so on... I'll expulge more on this tomorrow.

Isn't the Chrome Justice supposed to get its ammo increase via its upgrade, and not the backpack?

I am not sure but it seems all the other weapons get more ammo cap with backpack except chrom justice.

[erni945]

I found an error in hexen, after pressing the keyboard shortcut into the jet pack does not work fast jump up

[DoomKrakken]

The Chrome Justice's shell ammo (not magazine capacity) also gets an ammo boost with the backpacks. Your "Dem Shells" capacity is always equivalent to 1/3 of the capacity for your standard shells.

And no, weapons do not get extra magazine capacity from picking up backpacks. Ammo capacity increases, but not magazine capacity.

[Ryuhi]

another small glitch I noticed: if you throw machetes while you have ammo junkie active, it seems to secretly add them to your ammo capacity when you get to the next level (still retaining the maximum of 4)
