ZDoom

Could anybody who's having issues with Ranger's weapon recoil please post a video of it happening? I can't seem to reproduce it myself.

To be honest, while the SNES flamethrower works with the aesthetic more, it looks like a squirtgun to me. Although I guess in a way flamethrowers aren't all that different on base principle.

I'd only accept the SNES version if the HUD sprite matched, and it's not blue, so there's my answer.

You can't get the nailgun's recoil to mess up now, and now seemingly I can't either on Z& 2.1.2. No combination of samsara_cl_sinerecoil and samsara_cl_norecoil seems to provoke the previous behavior anymore. I know it was a thing in 0.31-beta on Z&, because everyone I knew experienced it.

That said, I think that only having Ammo 1 and 2 have gl lights is weird to see, as well as them being so large. I found that the pulse rate was miscalculated, the lights pulse twice as fast as intended. The pulse interval should be doubled so they sync with the BRIGHT frames (I think I was just working out the sizes and rates just before I forgot about them).

I'd either complete the ammo/pickup lights or comment em out before the next build.

I prefer the mac sprite, the SNES one looks like a bad chaingun edit.

Mac/Jaguar sprite.

I play without mouselook and it's really annoying having to recenter my view after firing Quake weapons for a little while.

Quake never had real recoil; it was simply view punching. The aim is never affected

Huh? All eight normal Doom ammo pickups have GL light definitions. I haven't checked the Raven ones yet.

I just shrank the ammo light definitions and changed their pulse rates as suggested, though. Thanks for that!

Problem is, ZDoom doesn't have any means to affect only the view and not the actor. This was what I was trying to discuss in this thread, and the problem you described is precisely why.

I may have just done this for Duke (then redone a good chunk of it to be more graceful)

The GLDEFs bug has bitten.

It doesn't really matter which sprite it is since no matter what you have your pickup appearance set to you only get the classic roman numeral pickups, at least in Zandronum, anyways.

It was on an old version of Zan when I was playing MP, I remember specifically once I got the Super Nailgun and started using it, My camera started moving rapidly, steeply up and down the the point I couldn't even see where I was going and I had to turn recoil off. I dunno if it's been fixed now because I just remember the last Zandronum game with Samsara I played had this issue. I may try and record it again if I can reproduce it.

SNES for sure. ((Also, if possible: An option for the SNES First Person weapon sprites would be nice, Just saying.))

I'm surprised I have to say this, but please only report bugs that occur with the currently released version using the latest version of GZDoom/Zandro 3.0.

Hey, in my defense, I just forced it off the minute it proved itself unplayable. If it got fixed on the way to 2.1.2, I wouldn't have known!

That and I haven't looked at Zandronum in a while, either. Its mod scene and the servers get players have both become really, really stagnant.

edit: boy howdy sleepy grammar

If you go into any zandy server with v0.31, the issue will happen

It will not work offline btw

My thoughts exactly. And funny story…

The HUD sprites currently used for both the Rocket Launcher and Flamethrower are the SNES sprites, believe it or not. Why they decided to make only the pickup blue, I'm not sure.
