Doomvengers: Earth's Weirdest Heroes (v1.4 10/23/2021)

[TheAdmantArchvile]

Same thing keeps happening to me:

Here's my error message and my ZDL loadout.

[TheDarkArchon]

Yeah, you need to load ALL the characters base mods before Doomvengers

[Captain Ventris]

Since I have a script that tells you what wad and by who the character is from when you start a level, I miiiiight work on getting the authors' permission to just pack in the necessary wads, since none of them seem to be headed towards frequent updates of any sort! Necrodoom might eventually get a patch or a few from Xaser, and Xuta will hopefully continue on Super Chicken, but Parkour Mod and Style Mod can probably be packed in. I'll have to contact Aluqah about Possess Me. For the time being, things will stay the same, and for reasons of laziness, I seriously, seriously do not intend to have to wholly integrate the wads into Doomvengers with time, because wow.

So yeah, for the time being, follow the instructions in the first post real close-like.

[Captain Ventris]

BAM! A new version, beta 0.9. Loads o' changes here, and a new Compatibility patch for UAC Ultra for those pesky Haymakers (I used the DECORATE version from Scalliano's 667 Shuffle because DehackEd is not fun to work around/with in DECORATE like this).

Please check the bottom two sections because I still need help with stuff and things.

---

Bug Fixes:
-There was a console error in Doomvengers difficulty.


General Changes:
-Melee range increases (detailed below) make melee attacks more viable against monster hordes.

-Added portraits for the Class selection screen that gives the general battlefield role of the class.


Necrosuit:
-Large Cannon ammo pickups give 6 shells, up from 4.

-Large rocket ammo pack ammount raised from 160 to 200.

-Laser ammo pickup amount raised from 40 to 60.

Backpacks did not change your life by raising ammo amounts, so I've fixed that:
-Backpack ammo max for the HV Gun raised from 800 to 1000.
-Backpack ammo max for the chaingun raised from 2500 to 3000.
-Backpack ammo max for the rockets raised from 1200 to 1500.
-Backpack ammo max for the Lasers raised from 600 to 800.
-Backpack ammo max for the Cannon raised from 60 to 80.
-Backpack ammo max for Scorcher Missiles raised from 80 to 100.


Super Chicken:
-No changes. Still waiting on Xuta to finish this thing he was gonna do for Super Chicken where you got ammo based on kills or something.


Style Guy:
-Increased the size of Style Point drops to make them more visible.

-Sped up the Overkill cannon's rev-up time by 7 tics.
-Increased the damage of each Overkill cannon altfire bullet from 2 to 2-3.
-Decreased the Overkill cannon's altfire horizontal spread from 12 to 10.
-Reduced the bulletcount for the Overkill cannon's altfire attack by 1.

-The Swarmer Launcher now spawns on BFG spawn points, not Rocket Launcher spawn points.
-Slowed Swarmer Launcher missiles from 25 to 22.
-Made Swarmer Launcher missles smaller, from 8x8 to 6x6.

-A Box of Manliness will now spawn on Rocket Launcher spawn points.

-Increased the number of shots from the Neutron Disruptor's altfire from 2 to 3.
-Increased the spread of the Neutron Disruptor's altfire from 3 to 5.
-Reduced the Neutron Disruptor's altfire damage from 7,10 + 10 to 6,8 + 10.

-Increased the damage of the shot from the Triple-shotgun altfire from 4.5 to 4.6.


Freerunner:
-Raised Fist and Saw range from 64 to 72.
-Changed Saw to use a damage type which is 5x more effective against Villains (not that they're in the game yet )

-Lowered pick-up ammo-give amount on the shotgun and double shotguns from 8 to 4 to reduce the amount of ammo you get from Shotgunners.

-Reduced Super Chaingun ammo consumption from 2 to 1.


Possesso:
-Raised out-of-host melee damage from 64 to 72.

-Reduced the ammo cost of the Arachnotron's Berserk attack from 5 to 3.


Zharkov:
-Changed the Ice Plasma and Uzi altfires to use a damage type which is 5x more effective against Villains. Hey, most of them are in game for ME!
-Raised the Ice Plasma and Uzi's altfires range from 64 to 72.

-Raised the Tractor Beam's damage from 7 to 8.
-Reduced Tractor Beam altfire and Demonsphere Tractor Beam altfire ammo usage from 5 to 4.

-Raised the damage on one of the bullets per cycle fired by the Uzi by 1 to make it slightly more ammo efficient.

-Reverted the Chimney Sweep altfire's ammo cost from 5 to 4 in light of the ammo doubling that was occuring with Legions of Noobs.

-Lowered the Raynor's primary fire ammo usage from 60 to 40.


ADD-ON: Legions of Noobs:
-No changes.

Bug Fixes:
-I'm an incredible idiot. Both the Wuss and ITYTD difficulties were giving double ammo amounts. I have no idea how long it's been like this, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- Anyway, things feel much better now. You'll actually have to pay attention to your ammo count through long fights.

Doomvengers Compatibility Patches:

Beyond Reality, version 0.2 (No update)
-No changes. It's sexy, go play it.


UAC Ultra, Version 0.1
-Exists now. Is quite sexy.
-Simply used a DoomEd number to bypass the whole dehackEd weirdness issue with the Haymaker, and used Scalliano's Decorate version from the 667 Shuffle. He drops no corpse for Possesso.
-The final boss starts at 2000 health, instead of the normal 1250 in UAC Ultra or the 1000 Icon of Sin health normal to Doomvengers, due to the circumstances of the battle.


ADD-ON: Villains of Great Villainy:

-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is incomplete. It's getting pretty sweet though, not gonna lie.


ADD-ON: Tools of the Trade:

-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is woefully incomplete.


ADD-ON: Realms of Rock:

-BUG: Only exists as an .odt file saying what it will be.


OTHER: MANUAL (Unreleased)

-The in-progress Manual so far covers Necrosuit, Possesso, Style Guy, and Zharkov, as well as some flattering write-ups on featured authors and the 'story' of how the Doomvengers came to be.

-BUG: Only partially exists. Haven't worked on it in a while due to being stuck waiting for Xuta's final word on that one feature for Super Chicken. But mostly: am lazy.


KNOWN BUGS WHICH PROBABLY CAN'T BE HELPED:
-Possesso can't use switches and such when taking the form of a large monster. Not really a way around that.
-The thing in the console about defining BloodTrail twice? Can't do anything about that without modifying the source wads.
-With Legions of Noobs, monsters who should be Dormant will, uh... not be Dormant. I'm told there's no way to check for that in ACS, so that sucks.


KNOWN BUGS WHICH I NEED HELP WITH:
-The image used for the top of Necrosuit's Normal HUD seems to be lowered by 1 pixel, despite it being the precise same offsets and dimensions as the original. Indeed, the numbers are even lined up properly.

-One of Possesso's HUDs is not operating.
-Tried to make a semi Easter-Egg for Possesso where you could revive an intact marine corpse and run around with the SSG, but wow I exploded something. The current code is in there as Case 17 of script 522 of ESCRIPT, but be darned if it works. The relevant actor is commented out, so you don't have to worry about running into a bug regarding this.

-Everybody is making a jumping sound. Only Freerunner is supposed to make a jumping sound. Someone figure that out, cuz I'm confuzzled.
-The muzzle flashes for Freerunner's Shotgun is misaligned and I don't know why or how.

-Super Chicken's Normal HUD does not appear, despite being the exact same thing as the fullscreen HUD.
-Super Chicken's Fullscreen HUD reportedly only shows the first two digits of health.

TASKS I NEED HELP WITH:
-Someone to re-write Zharkov's Rockslinger, or tell me how to do it so that it does not use A_SpawnDebris, but works basically the same. This will keep it from harming allies.
-A simple script to make Possesso have 3 seconds of invulnerability when unmorphed has run into a problem: It seems that if invincible while morphing (during this 3 second period), the character does not morph. Instead, Possesso gains the morph actor's weapon, and will die as normal while unmorphed if killed. idk mang
-Someone to just re-do all of the scripts for Possess Me, because they're reverse engineered in the first place, and are mega confusing. I'd like to be able to add things for Compatibility patches.

[Captain Ventris]

Beta version 1.0 is ooooooout. Good stuff here, and at the bottom of this post, a link to a preview of the in-progress Doomvengers Manual! I provide none of the actual helpful part, I just want opinions on the format and also I feel the reasonless need to share some of it with you because it's been sitting all lonely on my hard drive where only I can see it.

PLEASE look at the stuff at the very bottom for things I need help on. You're my only hope.

---

Bug Fixes:
-The Manliness Box would stack in Style Guy's inventory.

-The alfire shots on Freerunner's Super Chaingun had different spreads. This has been rectified.


General Changes:
-Added in a more hi-res Console Back image.

-Added in help screens and enabled the "Read This" option on the menu. They somewhat erroneously tell you to check the manual for further info, despite it's lack of existence. They still give a decent overview and are a vast improvement over the whole lotta nothin' that was there before.

-Re-termed the Add-ons as Modules, since that's more accurate and all.


Necrosuit:
-No changes.


Super Chicken:
-No changes. Still waiting on Xuta to finish the Chaos Condenser so I can get Super Chicken in proper, balanced shape. Things like this are why Doomvengers will be considered Beta for a loooong time.


Style Guy:
As a class with INFINITE AMMO, balancing this fella can get iffy. So I've done pleeeenty of playing through a number of map sets with him and I think I've got a pretty good set of changes here. He should have a more solidified play style, and the resource management should be require finesse, but give enough of a reward when Style Attacks are used.

-Style Shades now spawn at Rocket Launcher spawn points.

-Manliness boxes now last 45 seconds, up from 30.
-The Manliness box no longer spawns at Rocket Launcher spawn points.

-Gave the pistol a small chance to generate a Style Point upon hitting a bleeding actor. If I let it do it to non-bleeding actors, you could farm by shooting a decoration, so lolno, although you can technically farm Lost Souls from Pain Elementals. And in case you're wondering, it's because Pistols are cool.
-Raised the pistol's Style Attack cost from 2 to 3, as it was originally.

-Increased the Neutron Disruptor's spread from 2,2 to 5,4, and its Style Attack spread from 5,5 to 7,5 to better facilitate a role as a mobile crowd-control weapon, rather than overlapping so much with the Techlaser.

-Decreased the Triple shotgun's horizontal spread from 12 to 10, and its horizontal Style attack spread from 20 to 18 to make it more of a large monster-hunting gun than a classic videogame spread-weapon.

-The Overkill Cannon now only generates blood sprites on half of its bullets to prevent game slow-down.

Increased the Style Point reward for some enemies. These numbers represent the max Style Point drop from an enemy, since it's usually two parts which each have a chance of dropping.
-HK, from 5 to 6
-Cacodemon, from 4 to 5
-Mancubus, from 5 to 6
-Increased the style point drop chance for Arachnotrons
-Baron, from 10 to 12


Freerunner:
Freerunner has pretty clear delineation between his weapon's roles, so I'm working those into being balanced with each other. The Pistol (and Akimbo Pistols) have a use now for cleaning up without spending Shotgun ammo, and make ideal high-speed snap-shot weapons when a lot of vertical dancing is required.

-Changed Freerunner over to named scripts because Titan was giving me grief. I'll probably do this with the other classes eventually.

-Raised single pistol damage from 5 to 6 to match the Akimbo Pistols' damage.

-Akimbo pistols now give 12 bullets on pickup, for you 100% item people.

-Raised Rocket Launcher direct-hit damage from 18 to 20, matching the original Rocket Launcher, and re-solidifying its place as a high-strength target killer.
-Reduced the Rocket Launcher's flamethrower attack projectile size from 0.4 original sprite scale, to 0.3 so they don't obscure the screen as badly.

-The Cyber Launcher and Super Chaingun now share slot 8. I won't lie, this is so it will fit on the help screen.

-Changed the Super Chaingun's ammo-give from 20 to 30.
-Added one more bullet per shot of the Super Chaingun, raising the count from 7 to 8.
-Super Chaingun alt-fire spread has been lowered from 12,8 to 10,6.


Possesso:
-No changes.


Zharkov:
-The decorative bullet puffs from the Demonsphere'd Uzi no longer create blood sprites, to reduce game slow-down.

Note that the following I CAN SEE FOREVER hilarity only works on the Hardware Renderer with versions of GZDoom from past, what, the 24th? Anyway, just grab the latest svn and it'll work. Works fine with the software renderer in GZDoom in earlier versions, or ZDoom period. I'm working on adding bits and pieces of things to some of the Villains that only Zharkov sees, mostly useless silliness. If I could find a way to make him hear alternate sounds, I TOTALLY WOULD
-Only Zharkov can now see the Zharkov Goes to the Store blood sprites, so the handsplosion makes even less sense to onlookers. ONLY ZHARKOV KNOWS
-Chaingunners and Shotgunners now drop fake clip and shell items which only Zharkov can see. They fade out within a few seconds.


Module: Legions of Noobs 0.7:
-Monster spawners no longer add vertical velocity, so as to reduce instances of popping a monster up onto some decoration and trapping it.

-Monster spawners now wait to spawn their monsters until either they can see you, or they are within 1500 units. What this means in a practical sense is that if a map had so many monsters with Legions of Noobs that it lags, you will now only experience those same levels of lag while actually moving along and causing monsters to spawn, much like when you are generating chunks in Minecraft. This causes fights in singular areas to become much more playable and should hopefully make other maps comfortable with Legions of Noobs.

-Added two alternate deaths for both the Zombieman and Shotgun Guy, so a pile of 200 corpses isn't so monotonous. Further alt-deaths will be added in the future, I just want to see if people care for this feature, or if they feel it takes away from the straight-shooting arcadey dakka experience somehow.

-Zombeiman corpses are now solid (after they're out of your way) and can pile on top of each other. You can splat them to get them out of the way, but Archviles can still resurrect them for an absurd cycle of resurrection/corpse-splatting (unless you properly gib the monster, or give it an Ice death). I don't want to impact the Archvile's effect on the game, so deal with it. Ideally, you should be able to stand on mounds of corpses like a piece of 40k art, or clog hallways with the bodies of your enemies like the cool person you are.
But not really, because then allied monsters will just sit around stabbing corpses. The code remains, but is on hold until such a legendary time as a flag like NOTARGET that actually does what it sounds like it does instead of the nebulous, purposeless thing it is now.

Bug Fixes:
-No fixes.


Doomvengers Compatibility Patches:
Beyond Reality, version 0.3
-Altered to coincide with Legions of Noobs changes.
-Minor changes to coincide with internal testing changes for Villains of Great Villainy.


UAC Ultra, Version 0.2
-Altered to coincide with Legions of Noobs changes.



Module: Villains of Great Villainy:
-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is incomplete. It's getting really sweet though, not gonna lie. Ideas for all bosses are ready, I just have to finish them, and then continue testing the add-on to death. Incomplete or uncoded monsters have an *.
Intended Cyberdemon Replacement Roster: CyberSquaredemon (he's a total square, man), Magnasoul*, Dog Pope, Jitterskull, The Jerk, Metal Sonic*, Gardener Cacodemon, The Setetianegateben, 1337man, 1 Secret Boss*

Intended Spider Mastermind Replacement Roster: CyberMastermind, Flembomination, Spider Derpmolisher, Lost UAC Machine*, Teenage Mutant Ninja Imps, Dr. Gate O. Perdition*, King Bloatous, The Spider Emperor*, Portal to the Spider Dimension*, 1 Secret Boss

That's 10 Villains for each slot, for a total of 20 of these dudes.

Module: Tools of the Trade:
-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is WOEFULLY incomplete. It's slated for work after Villains anyway, so you'll live.


Module: Realms of Rock:
-BUG: Only exists as an .odt file saying what it will be. Comes after Tools of the Trade.


OTHER: MANUAL (Unreleased)
-The in-progress Manual so far covers the 'story' of how the Doomvengers came to be, some flattering write-ups on featured authors, Necrosuit, Possesso, Style Guy, Zharkov, Legions of Noobs, and the currently coded Villains of Great Villainy bosses.

-BUG: Only partially exists. Progress is going better as I pick up steam on Villains.

Aaaand here are the cover and first 4 pages of the manual: Download Hither. It's a PDF.

[Captain Ventris]

The next version may not have many balance changes, but I am finally beginning the process of integrating the Source wads into Doomvengers itself with author permission. Given that you are told the origins of the class you select upon beginning a game with them, credit is still given in an obvious fashion.

So far I have permission to integrate Style Mod (already done) and Super Chicken (which won't be integrated until Xuta releases the Chaos Condenser). So you will at the very least not need Style Mod to play the next version of Doomvengers. I have not heard from Xaser yet, but considering that Zharkov has been integrated with permission from the beginning, the next version may eliminate the need for the majority of the source wads. This also makes modifying Doomvengers much simpler for me, since I don't have to deal with so much inheritance.

I have a problem, though: I have no earthly idea how to contact Aluqah. Someone help me out, here.

[Lord_Aries_Greymon]

Okay, I seem to be the last guy having any difficulty with this.

I'm using the Zdoom Launcher, loaded all the precursor wads (Necrodoom, Super Chicken, Style Mod, Parkour Mod, and Possess Me) then loaded doomvengers.
Things run great, except for the Necrosuit.
That's boned. The Necrosuit will not switch weapons, and endlessly plays the weapon switch noise instead. (but only after depleting HV-cannon ammo.)

As stated, all the other characters seem to be working as intended.

[Captain Ventris]

Uh, minutia time.

Did you load the precursor wads in the exact order presented in the Batch file that comes with the download?

Are you SURE that's the latest version of Super Chicken, because there was a discrepancy with that earlier? Check the idgames link and the thread for the project here on this forum and see if they're different. Also check the versions of the other wads just in case because I don't know.

Are you SURE you are using the latest (G)ZDoom svn?

Are you REALLY sure of the previous items?

Have you angered any Gypsies recently?

[NeuralStunner]

Are you SURE you are using the latest (G)ZDoom svn?

This actually could be the source of the problem, due to recent not-exactly-unbuggy changes to the weapon switch code.

[Captain Ventris]

Are you SURE you are using the latest (G)ZDoom svn?

This actually could be the source of the problem, due to recent not-exactly-unbuggy changes to the weapon switch code.

Oh, lovely.

Well, try the very latest, and then try a somewhat older version and see what explodes.

[TheDarkArchon]

For the record, the breaking change was in r4024

[Captain Ventris]

Pushing out Beta 1.1 to provide support for the recent release of Necrodoom v4. There are also some other changes, but that's really the big thing, other than a change to the Legions spawners that makes them spawn monsters when they would normally be awakened in a map, to better preserve original gameplay. As usual, there is a cluster of issues at the bottom of the changelog which could use someone smarter than me, so do please read them.

Anyway:

---

Bug Fixes:
-Totes broke Freerunner's dash last version, due to forgetting to change the dash's KEYCONF alias to puke the new named script. However, I don't know how to override an alias from another wad, so I've returned the script to being numbered rather than having two instances of the same keybind.
-I think maybe that Style Guy's bullet puffs weren't in the game. Either that, or everyone had them. Whatever, Style Guy has the correct bullet puffs.
-Style Guy's Manliness Box could still be picked up and placed into the inventory.

General Changes:
-Style Mod is, with Weasel's blessing, fully integrated into Doomvengers. You no longer have to possess Style Mod to play Doomvengers or need to use it in the loading process for Doomvengers.


Necrosuit:
Updated to Necrodoom v4. To Recap what Xaser did there that is relevant here:
*Rocket Pods now use a Diamond spread-pattern. Much more regular and easy to use.
*There is a melee attack when outside the Necrosuit.
*Necrosuit mount and dismount works with Hubs.
*New weapon bobbing.
*Named ACS scripts!
*Now a pk3. Don't blow it and forget to change the file name in your batch file or whatever.
I won't be bothering with the other IWAD support in Necrodoom, because then I'd have to do it for everyone else. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, I don't care. To play as the Necrosuit in Strife... play Necrodoom, duh.


Super Chicken:
-No changes. Still waiting on Xuta to finish the Chaos Condenser so I can get Super Chicken in proper, balanced shape. Things like this are why Doomvengers will be considered Beta for a loooong time.


Style Guy:
-No changes


Freerunner:
-No changes


Possesso:
-No changes


Zharkov:
-The Demonsphere now also gives 50 health, to accommodate times when the mapper provides a berserk pack as a health item.


Module: Legions of Noobs 0.8:
-Monster Spawners now spawn monsters when those monsters would normally be alerted as well as the previous checks. This better preserves the behavior of the original maps for obvious reasons.


Bug Fixes:
-Zombiemen were missing the last frame of their death animations.


Doomvengers Compatibility Patches:
Beyond Reality, version 0.4
-Raised the amount of health King Bloatous gains per extra player.
-Split the DECORATE file so it's easier to deal with changes to Villains of Great Villainy.
-Minor update to Villain support.
-Update to Legions support.

Bug Fixes:
-RandomDemons would freeze up due to an incorrect Possesso corpse-drop state name.
-Headguys had an Imp frame in their death animation.


UAC Ultra, Version 0.3
-Updated Haymaker Spawner to match Legions changes.



Module: Villains of Great Villainy:

-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is incomplete. It's getting really sweet though, not gonna lie. Ideas for all bosses are ready, I just have to finish them, and then continue testing the add-on to death. Incomplete or uncoded monsters have an *.
Intended Cyberdemon Replacement Roster: Cyberjumper(I've renamed this guy twice now. Jumping by Ethril.), Magnasoul*, Dog Pope [Reelism], Jitterskull [GF3, GVH], The Jerk [Reelism], Mother Demon*[Doom64. Will have altered attacks, most likely], Gardener Cacodemon[Monster Resause Wad], The Setetianegateben[By Xutawoo], 1337man[Untitled.wad], 1 Secret Boss (functional, but not quiiiite done)*
Intended Spider Mastermind Replacement Roster: CyberMastermind[Monster Resource Wad], Flembomination[CQ3], Spider Derpmolisher, Lost UAC Machine*, Teenage Mutant Ninja Imps, Dr. Gate O. Perdition, King Bloatous[Beyond Reality], The Spider Emperor*, Portal to the Spider Dimension, 1 Secret Boss
That's 10 Villains for each slot, for a total of 20 of these dudes.

Module: Tools of the Trade:

-BUG: Only exists on my hard drive, and is WOEFULLY incomplete. It's slated for work after Villains anyway, so you'll live. Sorry, it won't be as amazo-epic as Villains, but will be super fun nonetheless. Hopefully.


Module: Realms of Rock:

-BUG: Only exists as an .odt file saying what it will be. Comes after Tools of the Trade. This'll be a crazy one.


Module: Dimensions:

-BUG: Only exists as some notes on my phone postulating what it will be. Comes after Realms of Rock. Possibly the most extensively absurd Module planned.


OTHER: MANUAL (Unreleased)

-The in-progress Manual so far covers the 'story' of how the Doomvengers came to be, some flattering write-ups on featured authors, Necrosuit, Possesso, Style Guy, Zharkov, Freerunner, Legions of Noobs, and the currently coded Villains of Great Villainy bosses.

-BUG: Only partially exists. Progress is going better as I pick up steam on Villains. Will have to wait for Super Chicken's Chaos Condenser and screw around with it enough to be able to do a good write-up, and the completion of Villains. And full credits in the back, blah blah blah.


KNOWN BUGS WHICH PROBABLY CAN'T BE HELPED:
-Possesso can't use switches and such when taking the form of a large monster. Not really a way around that.

Downloads in the OP. Many Bothan spies died to bring you this information.

[Captain Ventris]

I know there has been no update of any sort in a bit. That's because this next version is kind of a big deal. Menu coloring, a font by Jimmy, full Doom 1 support, ridiculous game-start messages and, most importantly of all, big strides in Zharkovision, with which Zharkov experiences things a biiiit differently from the rest of us.

Also a release of the Manual, but I mean, like, Zharkovision!

[Ethril]

Cyberjumper(I've renamed this guy twice now. Jumping by Ethril.)

just gonna say right here and now that i am 102% okay with this

[Captain Ventris]

That thing was fantastic. The Cyberjumper in Doomvengers is pretty hilarious, though not unfair. That jump definitely makes you think twice about trying to cheese him, though!
