DoomRL Arsenal - [1.1.5] [MP-B7.3]

[SoloSpaghetti]

It seems that Tristar plasma rifle cannot be disassembled by Technician.
(And I fell in love with Napalm launcher! )

[Yholl]

Also, if I recall right, I think that reloading the launcher after installing the nano pack made ammo consumption drop from 2 rockets to 1.

No, using 2 ammo would make it pretty crap. Nano mod makes it fire homing missiles 100% of the time.

Fixed. And yeah, the Napalm Launcher is pretty amazing, especially against Demon hordes.

Having a super ninja turbo amazing roguelike-like experience with Claustrophobia 1024 2. My big guns, they save me. Barely. HNNNRGH!
Kudos on the quick fixes.

It feels difficult to drop items in this build, as when I try dropping boots or a weapon I almost always immediately pick it back up again.

The Chaingun doesn't regenerates ammo with the Nano mod.

One suggestion as well, I'm not sure if this is already in and I missed it or if it's even doable, but maybe add some sort of Inspect Weapon key? Something that lets you see the stats of your current weapon so you can compare things better.

Yeah, I went back and loaded an autosave to check that out. Love that.

What I love even more is assembling the Nuclear VBFG9000, slap a Bulk Mod on it, assemble a High Power Nuclear Plasma Rifle, slap a Power and Bulk mod onto it, and watch as Hell trembles at the mighty, quickly regenerating weapons I have in my inventory. <3

I've come to quickly appreciate nuclear weapons in DoomRL Arsenal, especially the Nuclear Plasma Rifle when coupled with the Marine's Ammochain trait. C:

Gotta say, the uzi and battle rifle take up a lot of screen space, especially when firing.
Intended? An oversight?

Intended, yes. Oversight, no. You can't see over that shit.

Yeah I noticed this too, it's a bit distracting and almost makes it hard to see what you're shooting sometimes.

Don't drop them on your feet, then.

The Chaingun doesn't regenerates ammo with the Nano mod.

Fixed. It was actually regenerating, you just weren't letting it because it was not regenerating as it should've been. It will now regenerate properly.

One suggestion as well, I'm not sure if this is already in and I missed it or if it's even doable, but maybe add some sort of Inspect Weapon key? Something that lets you see the stats of your current weapon so you can compare things better.

I could make such a thing, but it would not be pretty in any way, and would be a lot of work for something that really isn't that necessary. It's pretty easy to tell what's better or worse for your current needs, and all weapons have their little niche of use.

Yeah, the combination of the Nuclear Plasma Rifle and Ammochain has forced me to utterly nerf their spawn rate a while back, they are so very overpowered.

I've lowered the Uzi and Battle Rifle sprites quite a bit, should help.

Kudos on the quick fixes.

Thanks, have another one! :3

Since no one else is doing it, here's a gameplay video. (Probably shouldn't be recording with customized gamma stuff though.)


Gotta ask, what's planned for Beta 6?

[Triple S]

Just a request - assuming the spawn rates are different between the normal mods, can you balance them out a little more? I'm tired of seeing Agility Mods 4/5 times. Or at the very least add more Agility-requiring assemblies in the future... as it is, it becomes far too difficult to make anything (unless you're Tech but you better pray that exotics/uniques spawn for you) because of how many god damn agility mods spawn. I mean shit it's great if you like turning everything into assault weaponry but those are situational while agility mods are more common than Archviles in Plutonia.

The main issue I have is that the ratio of power mods to agility mods used for assemblies is insanely skewed toward power mods, while the ratio of agility mods to power mods found in the wild is insanely skewed toward agility mods. Really, the ratio of agility mods obtained to everything else is ridiculous.

[TheDarkArchon]

That's the RNG hating you. I've had runs where Aglity mods were incredibly rare. That said I do notice that mod drops tend to give you a lot of one mod but I think that's just the RNG at work more than a mod thing.

So it is just the RNG, huh? I had a feeling, but it was hard for me to consider that considering I haven't had a runthrough of an IWAD/Megawad yet where I didn't get insane amounts of Agility mods.


Either way, the game could use more assemblies requiring agility mods. Balance it out some, I suppose. I did notice that there were a handful of new assemblies in Beta 4 and especially 5 that used Agility, but the balance is still nutty. Then again, that's because this originally had only DoomRL assemblies and Agility assemblies in that are primarily armor-related.

BUG REPORT EDIT:

---

Apparently the Anti-Freak Jackal doesn't like it when you apply a Nano mod to it, drop it, and pick it back up. The gun no longer fires but has an eternal clip size of 666. Until it's hotfixed, you can use "take rlantifreakjackalclip 666" to restore it back to normal. You'll have to reload it afterward, of course.

BUG REPORT EDIT 2 & 3:

---

Not sure how many other instances of this there are, but when given a list of mod effects for the Trigun, you're given Lightweaver effects instead. Also the Nano mod for the Judge of the Dead doesn't seem to do anything.
