[WIP] Extreme Measures (Doom Through Time Alpha on Pg. 13!)

Sweet, that gun looks awesome, is it like a bolt action?

Perhaps you could add a scope addon, one that actually is useful. It can be rarely dropped by zombiemen perhaps.

Just a thought.

Scopes are too hard to pull off effectively in ZDoom. I know there's LWM's cam-tex trick, but I still haven't managed to wrap my head around that one.

[hitmanx]

mmmm, or maybe the upgrade could replace the bolt mechanic with a clip. If thats even possible in real life.

This is if you even want powerups.

like maybe you could have a tome of power like item, but it can only used once, on one weapon, and it's modified forever, until you pick up another upgrade item, then you can upgrade another weapon.

Just a thought

You know, this idea is plausible. I believe I did something like weapon upgrades back in my first mod, Gauntlet of Fun. It's funny because I'm starting to understand concepts in DECORATE that I would've never actually gotten a month ago. Things like Jumps make sense now!

So, this upgrade idea might just get in. However, the bolt mechanic isn't existent on this rifle. It's a semi-automatic rifle. It being bolt-action was an idea I had but sense this is the starting weapon I didn't want to make it too slow. It'll reload after 10 shots automatically, so be warned about that aspect.

Upgrades though...hmm. I'm thinking like the stuff Zero Prophet let you do to the flare gun in Zero Tolerance...speed, power, and other upgrades. Perhaps it'll become completely automatic or something. Who knows? :P I'm open for suggestions!

Extreme Measures

• Now we're kicking this into gear!
• Rifle reload animations are almost complete!
• The Assault Rifle, graphics by Scuba Steve and edits by Snarboo, is being added in now!
• New enemies! The Swat guy from Diaz might be added in :P Along with that, more zombies on the way!

[hitmanx]

awesome. Sound good marty

[Cardboard Marty]

XM is still being worked on, buuuutttttt...



Hehe

[Snarboo]

Nice. :) Are you just messing around, or will you eventually work on a Hexen mod?

[Cardboard Marty]

Well, a while back, I started a Hexen weapons mod (this was before custom classes), but things got too complicated. Then, I had to restore my OS for whatever reason and I thought I lost the mod. I was thinking about it today, and I realized I sent it to TDA before my stuff was wiped. So I asked if he had it, and alas, he did. :D

So yes, I'll be working on a Hexen mod. I call this one, Doom Through Time. It replaces the three default Hexen classes with the three characters from Quake III- Doom, Crash, and Phobos. Each will have their own weapons, and specific attributes. I hope to add some more variety to Hexen with some new monsters and items. But right now, XM is more of a priority to me.

Speaking of...

Extreme Measures

• The first "new" weapon of the mod (being that it wasn't in the original), the Nailgun is in the process of being added!
• Assault Rifle has been completely added!
• The MagSec rifle now reloads after 10 shots automatically (DN3D style, as mentioned earlier)
• A newcomer arises...The Doom Armory Quartermaster himself, WildWeasel joins WWHC-XM as a selectable class!

A Hexen mod? nice..... now i can see why you started making a Crash sprite.....
I noticed that the doom guy sprite on the screen looks like the one from Quake 3 nice good luck with this im lookin forward to seeing more of that more than all

[Dulle]

Be happy,Marty,I saved your topic from death.
Anyway...can you add the Crash's speed somehow ; I don't think that so young girl would be as slow as mage is.

[Cardboard Marty]

lol, I was going to save it from death when I had an update.

Yeah, all the things in that alpha are bound to be changed and fixed. It's a very early version and so a lot of things aren't going to work/aren't completed.

You can upload it?

[Cardboard Marty]

The version I uploaded was only uploaded because I had no other choice (or so I thought)

And nothing has changed between that version and the one I have now (besides that the player classes and difficulty settings have been changed).

Speaking of...



:D

[Orangewaggs]

Crash Looks Amazing!
i cant wait

[DoomRater]

Haha, they're all like "Screw magic!"

[Cardboard Marty]

I think I'll post this here for some more attention. Hehe.

There it is. You need to use "Give Ammo" to use Doom's weapon, and Crash's blaster doesn't actually fire anything yet. Also guys, note that while the mod is playable in ZDoom, it's fully intended for GZDoom because it uses true-color PNGs and what not.

Deimos-
Deep within the confines of the Martian UAC base, there lies a cult who worship the demon Baphomet. It was originally their intention to open the portal to Hell, but before they could make this plan a reality, a Stranger whom had invaded the UAC facility had already activated it.

Deimos is secretly a member of this cult. However, on the surface he appears to be no more than a marine interested in the occult. However, Deimos' purpose is known only to himself- To kill Baphomet, and take control of his cult and potentially over the legions of Hell. However, he will have to beat The Stranger to the punch if he wants the chance to kill the demon. Although, being thrown into another dimension completely with three other "oblivious" marines has put a nice dent in his plans.

Deimos sports the Sigil of Baphomet, the official insignia of the Cult of Baphomet. Etched into his skin, this symbol empowers him and pushes him completely over "human" limits. While Doom, Crash, and Phobos have absolutely no knowledge of magic or the dark arts in general, Deimos has complete mastery over such powers, and uses them while in combat. While the other classes start out with more conventional weaponry, Deimos uses his dark energies to fight the creatures encountered in this strange world.

Thanks for the comments guys! :D
