Sangelothi Mods (NeoCore v5 RELEASED PG.26)

[Sangelothi]

Well...not too much has changed from the last version, but I'm hoping that's a good thing.

-Two New Weapons (New Coyote and the High Pile Scrap Cannon)
-Acer Rifle has a new look
-A number of sounds have been replaced
-A couple of the pickups have been replaced with a new look
-All Armor pickups stack together, so stack away
-Fixed the Revenant fireball (is now also slightly weaker, but faster)
-HUD Size Increased for better number reading

Well here's a pleasant surprise! Some initial testing and everything seems to hold up well, especially the tweaked weapons. However, is the HUD supposed to fill up nearly a quarter of the screen? It's looking a lot. . . larger than I remember.

[Sangelothi]

Oops...lol, I did forget to mention the hud was increased in size. Sorry about that

If I may ask...what resolution are you playing on for the HUD to take up nearly a quarter of the screen??? (unless that's an exaggeration )

Would it be better if the HUD was returned to the original tiny size??? I increased it because I thought it was a little hard to see the numbers

[Steve1664]

1920x1080 resolution, to answer your question. It's not bad, just. . . jarring. I could see things perfectly with the original HUD size, by the way.

that wad is pretty as links.
anyway i want to share this wad with my version. also i need to upgrade my version too, so hold it.

[Sangelothi]

You...have your own version of my wad??? Cool

[Xanirus]

Ahhhh yeah....downloading now!

It is quite larger. You can decrease the size by using "HUD_SCALE FALSE" in the console, but then it's a bit small.

Awesome mod Sang, though it seems that the new coyote may be just a -touch- overpowered... You can kill bigger enemies with just over a single "shot". Have you tried reducing the number of hitscans it fires? It seems to fire 5 shots of 2 "pellets" (Correct me if I'm wrong). Could increase the damage slightly to compensate I guess, or just decrease it overall. Less pellets means it's easier to miss.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you did with the Coyote. It guzzles through relatively rare ammo fast enough.

Neat, what changes did you make?

there ya go, finished right up. i just changed few weapons damages, sounds and added wildweasel's bullet casings.
also i decided to share two chainsaw replacement weapons; heavy pistol and automatic pistol. now automatic pistol's name is cockburn pistol and uses 9mm ammos.

i hope you're liked it.

Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason you're still using the old "IsReloading" method as opposed to the newer, simpler method using A_WeaponReady(WRF_ALLOWRELOAD)?

[Sangelothi]

When I started the mod...I don't recall A_WeaponReady(WRF_ALLOWRELOAD) being implemented yet
I've already started sprite work for a new weapon mod that will use A_WeaponReady(WRF_ALLOWRELOAD)...but that doesn't mean I'm done with NeoCore, so feedback would be great, that way I know what changes I could/should make for the next version(s)

[Xanirus]

Any chances of returning the HUD back to it's original size? (Or at least someone telling me how to do it in SLADE?)

Nice, the new magazine sizes, ammo pickups, and weapon damages really balance out the mod more (Though may be a bit too strict...). Though I think it's time for the magnum pistol to get a new sprite, hehe.

A lot of these changes would fit into the base mod very well.

EDIT: Teeeeeny nitpick that I'm going to fix with a couple seconds worth of editing, but just pointing out that the Ox Clot shells are too small to be 10-gauge, and the Citrus shells are too big to be 15-gauge, so I'm going to reverse them and clean up some of the pickup messages. Pretty awesome work though.

EDIT2: Hm, the ammo pickups aren't enough considering how fast some weapons burn through it. Might just set it back to what Sang had them at.

[hitmanx]

Nooooooo. Change the shotgun sound back. I loved the old sound.

Not to tell you how to make your mod or anything

And I don't really like that new sprite for the acer rifle. That's just personal taste though.
