Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

If you rip & tear an enemy next to an exit switch, & exit the level before the fatality was finished, you'll start the next level performing a fatality.

That sounds like a feature, you killed him so hard the level ended.

Can't think of a better way to start a level.

You guys beat SamVision to the "That is a Feature" claim.
Too funny for words.

Started a headshot death for the archvile, based off of one of Eriance's monsters(Hellion?). This is just a rough preview, I'll try to have the full sheet up tomorrow.

It looks good, but, I would think it needs more blood (yes, I know it's a preview, just some advice).

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but there's a fatal flaw in the bosses' death explosions - any map that involves telefragging a boss WILL result in you getting blown up. You might wanna disable the explosive damage on them, Sarge, or at least tone it down a bunch.

I thought so. I'd like to make his horn break off & fly through the air as well. I'll figure it out.

Honestly, i don't think Archviles have that much blood, considering how they're built. And the dead frame just looks very bloody because the body is kinda folded and thus a bit smaller, which makes the blood pool look larger.

Mephitic gases might work for Archvile corpses; after all, the ArchvileFire will most likely emit gas/heat/energy.

Archviles look more like liches, empty bodies that are magically kept alive. Which make their use (and abuse) of pyromancy pretty normal-ish.
But yeah, just look at them. They probably have barely one or two inches of flesh over their bones, i don't see why a headshot would draw a lot of blood. It's probably stagnant inside them anyway.

Explosive fragments might work too. BOOM! If they are magical liches, then we should watch for their suicide-run (by melee/death state). The essence might contain ghosts/phantasms/necrosis/acid.

new plasma gun and ssg rocks!

Y'know, I know this probably won't be an idea to make it in, but thought I'd throw it out there anyways.
A bayonette for the rifle would be pretty awesome, kinda like what the Doom alpha's had, maybe working as a tertiary attack of some sort for the rifle. Would be pretty awesome to slice/gut an imp and have it go into the guts-out state.

The bug of staring a level performing a fatality is impossible to fix (or at least seems very hard to do). But since it's not a game breaker (and even look cool and can be considered a feature), I don't see a reason to "fix"it.

@Steve: I will remove the explosion after their deaths. I should have removed this feature 2 versions ago, but I always forget it.

@Devastator: Nice sprites. Keep it up.


About the bayonette for the rifle, it already has been discussed in the ST thread (and caused 5 pages of drama), that there are not going to have any more modifications in the assault rifle. (the only difference is, in the ST thread, there was having a discussion for a grenade-launcher attachment for the rifle). The rifle is one of the most useful weapons in the arsenal as how it is, and if I want to add anything else, I would need to remove the ADS mode.

On the last news in this afternoon, a marine found that he could make holes in the ground with his rifle...

You, sir, are a GOD among men.... I didn't think it could be done. Which makes this mod even more awesome.
