Lowtech Remake (Updated 22/02/17)

[JimpArgon]

I really like this mod. However my only complaint is not being able to reload at will. You have to wait till you run out of ammo. Other then that, this is on point. Good work.

[Captain J]

Actually almost of weapons can be reloaded at your will. But like i said, except crossbow.

And breaking news: Tommy gun cannot be reloaded at will when aimed.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Thanks for the feedback J!!!

Glock 21's silencer equipping animation is kinda slow, also i can't fire it faster either. Balancing, i guess?

You guessed right! It was meant to raise precision just by a bit, and to kill silently, which can change gameplay ways. But still i took some ticks off to make it by a tiny bit faster.

And breaking news: Tommy gun cannot be reloaded at will when aimed.

Kinda fixed. You have to press the reload key twice, but at least the command responds better.

Ammo box pickup sound effects uses Quake 1 one. It's a minor gripe, but can you make it... You know, updated?

Quake has many overused stuffs, i sometimes just forget about it. Changed. Swapped for MoH: AA and Killing Floor now.

Mancubus' Arm cannon's smoke is devours my screen when firing. Also its altfire is literally useless; the projectile is weaker and take much time to fire again.

Totally Agree. fixed everything. Raised 20 damage points. Makes it useful.

It's awkward because Tommy gun's empty magazine's bouncing sound effect uses glock one. Since you'll probably know where the glock one were taken from, it'll be neat if you can take rifle magazine bouncing sounds from the same game for its empty magazine.

Fixed. The files were inside the game and i didn't realized.

Crossbow's fire sound effect gets cut off by arrow loading sound.

Fixed sound channel.

It's about the Crossbow again, i can't reload it whatever i want unlike other weapons.

It caused some reloading bugs in the past but i've unlocked it again. Reloading unlocked! (You might get some visual issues only.)

And its arrow projectile just disappears with no effects when it hits the wall, pretty boring to look at.

I have no idea on what to do with it...

When i swing my fists, somehow they flickers. I guess they has non-existing sprite frames.

Fixed. four sprites had the same name. I don't know why.
Also, you might haven't noticed but, the altfire doesn't combo when in berserk. Fixed That, and changed kick sprites with old brutal doom kick sprites. I also added another combo and visual recoil

Panzerfaust's primary fire and altfire seems same. What's the difference, if i ask? And its discarded shell floats when you fly or in the air or something and its fire sound has casing bouncing sound effect, too.

It was meant to be a seeker missile (i know, dumb idea) with half speed and damage. Does not work well.

Discarded shell fixed.

When i alt attack with a chansaw while keep pressing the button, it somehow quits and goes to primary attack. And it's pretty bizarre that it spends 10 fuels when you attack in few seconds, not more like spending 1 fuel in each second. Intentional?

The quitting bug happens because it must go to a state where it redirects to the normal firing state instead of a ready state. I'll solve it.

About fuel consuming: The chainsaw does not have a reloading state. And, if you take another look, taking fuel during a looping 2-tick state would take fuel too fast, just like the flamethrower main firing mode. I just thought it would break balance by making the player choose between the flamer or the saw, which, of course, would make the flamer a way better choice.

Thanks man. Tell me if you find anything else.

Neat fixes and thanks for replying and understanding. U R the best!

Then why don't you make it stay much longer when it hits the wall? I know it'll still float when it's stuck in the elevator or something, but at least this is the solution i can think of.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Well, i just found some flaws again. Expect another update tonight guys!

[wolf00]

i tested your last build ... some like old revolver can be nice, to have it arsenal

[Miguel371xd]

this work in zandronum?

[LedIris]

Nice updates. Great improvement compared to the original version. I love the new fists, and the new panzerfaust weapon is really interesting. I can't wait to see what you add next.

If problems like this one persist, see if you got any keys bound to your reloads. I've sure made the weapons ready for that

Thanks a million!

I prefer the powerslave revolver lots over my glock sprite, sometimes i just think on swapping them, renaming it "S&W 625" and calling it a day. But just ONE thing holds me: The only altFire i can think at the moment is a fan, like on westerns, and since i don't know how to use textures lump, it would be living hell for me to sprite...

this work in zandronum?

Haven't tested yet buddy, so i can't guarantee any perfection. Hope you have fun!

Thanks a lot man! If you are curious for the next changelog, then check out the next post!

Update!

- fixed rifle ammogive1 : it was givin' not only the 762 ammo, but the reload as well.
- swapped the panzer altfire for a kick. Not original, but keeps a reliable attack while holding such a dangerous weapon, right?
- added a lot of new combos, tweaked coding and added left kicks!
- painkiller and rifle shells voxel shrunk a bit.
- swapped water voxels for cigarettes, made by voxelbro.
- reduced smoke during flamethrower shots.
- changed tommygun clipout sound.
- changed tommygun magazine drop sounds, made by lord mordecai.
- reduced almost 1MB by changing only a set of explosion sprites!
- took out the NOAUTOFIRE flag from fists.
- fixed rifle box voxel that had a mirroring.
- fixed arrows: they stay for 10 seconds on walls! J would like this one!

Check download link guys!

For the next update, i'll try to fix the rifle ammo name (7.92 actually, my bad.) and an heretic compatibility patch!

[wolf00]

nagant 7.62 revolver, this one can use silencer ... so altfire can be with silencer atached on gun ... http://world.guns.ru/handguns/double-ac ... 195-e.html

I played through TVR with this mod and Ketchup v5. It was very fun! Weapons are pretty well balanced, are satisfying to fire and overall just very nice! The new voxels are very well done, too. Great job!
One suggestion:
-Panzerfaust has kick function, but other weapons do not. Perhaps make it consistent across all weapons? (Maybe a quick kick function for all weapons?)
I'll come back when I have more ideas/bugs.

[Captain Red]

I knew if I just waited long enough someone would do the remake for me and here we are, 11 short years later

Good job BTW

You know what were my thoughts? The original Mod had a powerslave machete instead of a chainsaw. I thought on removing the random chance on kicks, leaving left/right clicks for punching and add two new keys: one for BD style kicking and another for a fast machete attack, Just like Dino Crisis 2, you know?

If i update into this... The only ideas that come into my mind for a panzerfaust alternate attack would be an exclusive melee attack, or throwing spent panzerfausts at the enemy just for lolz. I need to think about this.

Congratulated from the man himself. I think i achieved my objective!!! Thanks a lot man!

Since you had the original concept, you can suggest things as you like, pretty much like everyone, after all, this is a reworking on your ideas.


Thanks guys.
