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

[ArchXeno]

How does the player corruption thing work? Is it a co-op only feature? I wanna fight some mean post-mortem players.

If you're talking about the former friends (black aura with red eyes), I usually see them as an archvile replacement

[Yholl]

Yeah, but the super shotgun acts like it has 3 barrels :v

20 + 3 + 3 = 26
how is that 3

If you die to certain damagetypes, you'll become a corrupted player. You can also very rarely encounter them on UV, and they appear a lot on Armageddon.

Who's the target audience for the marksman pistol? Scouts don't really care because pistols are already quite accurate and fire considerably faster. Everyone else looks at it, then looks at the battle rifle they were already carrying and goes the other way.

Seryder.

The shrapnel cannon's shots are a bit flaccid. Would be nice if they had less gravity. Oh, I grabbed a new gzdoom and forgot to disable autoaim. It's basically worthless with autoaim on.

[SAraisXenoQueen]

Not quite sure, but I think the Cacobyss is causing some slight crashing. I only say this because it's crashed when a Cacobyss has been heard. This does not mean they're the cause, and I also have not been able to replicate it past accidental discovery thus far, but will try. Will keep posted.

Also.

Nightmare Masterminds sometimes get bored and start shooting things. Like their allies.

Enemies without arms or some sort of tech interface can no longer open doors.

Nice touches. Gives a bit more flavor to some of the enemies if they have actions that they do without the presence of a player. It was also pretty odd for something without arms to be opening doors (Although not in the way that one would think about it unless it was brought up).

I'm curious, how much stuff did you add from DoomRL that the wiki doesn't document for spoiler reasons?

[Forevener]

Could you add exact weapon stats to the info popup? That would be very nice.

[Kostov]

No offense, but it's funny to see lots of people without avatars post on this mod's page.

[Patriot1776]

Player corruption I've not ever experienced so far. Can it only happen to you in Co-Op? I'm wanting to think yes since the vast majority of the time re-loading from saves you don't have the corruptive damagetypes killing you at that time.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

i've had one instance where an Arch-Vile spawner plopped a corrupted Renegade in my face, but that's it.

I'm pretty sure they're the Archvile replacement on Armageddon. I was doing stupid things with sunder.wad last night and those fuckers would put an early end to the run, sometimes the moment I opened the door.

Most of the spoiler stuff from DoomRL didn't make it in this version but is supposed to be in the works. There's a lot of new stuff just for this mod, though.



e: please stick +NOAUTOAIM on projectiles that are affected by gravity. Not doing so makes them quite fond of the floor 6 feet in front of you.

The new version is really damn good, but I've been noticing odd performance hitches. This is running DoomRLA with the Monster Pack and the HUD using the latest Sept 14 SVN of Zdoom. (not GZDoom)

Now, I'll admit, my computer is -old-; calling it a toaster would be a compliment, but I was going from 60 solid from the last version to 25 solid with slight hitches with 1.0. I'm assuming that's because a lot of scripts are running, or something like that?

I can understand how the test map would eat it alive (Which it does, with a "pulsing" framerate, so I think it may be the rarity beams that are causing my issues), but the constant lowered framerate is strange. It seems to happen more on maps with "blinking" light sectors, so it may be an SVN issue? Hell if I know.

I know it's not Yholl's problem to get something working with a computer that's pushing 16 years old, but I thought that I would just bring it to attention in the case that there is an oversight somewhere.

[Triple S]

Ah, I love accidentally stumbling upon discovering new assemblies. I was prepping a Double Shotgun to be a future Focused Double Shotgun.

My reaction when I stumbled upon the Shredder Shotgun

[wildweasel]

I don't think it's necessarily scripts; just actor spam, in regards to the new blood and barrel effects. Though the blinking lights sounds weird; I wonder if there's any substance to that theory, or if the drop is just more noticeable because of the blinking.

[edward850]

The sector lighting effects have existed since 1993, so all bets are it being a placebo. It'd be his 16 year old hardware itself as both the cause and symptom, as literally any additional complexity will drop the performance by factors if you're already stretched for it.

The big problem here is if he's indeed using 16 yearold hardware as he claims, he's likely running a single-core processor, which means he also has ZDoom competing with FMOD (the sound) on the same core, and even possibly the MIDI playback. A dual-core processor is practically a requirement nowadays for ZDoom itself, as the sound mixing relies on it. It's not as dramatic or even noticeable if you're playing vanilla, sure, but then DoomRLA is somewhat past that.

TL;DR: Literally everything will be causing the performance drop, and I'm surprised that it even works in such old hardware.

(Which it does, with a "pulsing" framerate, so I think it may be the rarity beams that are causing my issues)

Does the performance get better or worse (or not change) if you switch rarity beams off?

[Viscra Maelstrom]

also, the Incineration Device Launcher doesn't have a weapon description i noticed, and it only uses up one rocket for the Demolitionist, but it doesn't say it consumes less ammo in the perks screen.
