The Guncaster - 3.888b

Wow, it's almost like you have an old Gzdoom!

[TheLightBad96]

I can see your problem cem26, You're using an GZdoom version thats 2 years old. I would recommend as soon as humanly possible for you to get the latest dev version.

[PillowBlaster]

Time for a first handful of answers, hmm.

hey is the plasma cannon not supposed to have a crosshair?

Nope. It just doesn't have it's own. I didn't bother to add it, because I did want to add a one once the gun would be done. It uses the default one, so you should just get any stock crosshair on.

good thing you didn't push the release further

because once that KF2 early access hits the shelves, forum (and dooming) activity is propably going to take a hit

Up until the end of the month, then everybody will be flocking to the new Brutal Doom release if it comes out on time.

I don't care, anyone can play whatever the hell he wants.

FSR Guncaster crashes randomly due to a 'divide by zero' coding error of some sort.

Odd. So far it worked anywhere else.

Are Hammerspace Backpacks not supposed to give any ammo?

Also, though the Strucker uses more ammo, it seems to do the same amount of damage as its older counterpart. Which doesn't make much sense...

EDIT (4/9/15): ... sooooo, what I did to remedy this was to revert the damage of each pellet back to those of the old Strucker (so, from 4 to 3) and double the amount of pellets the old Strucker used to fire, since the new Strucker uses 2 shells per shot (old Strucker shoots 12 pellets, new Strucker now shoots 24). While you may think it's overpowered, once I tried it on the Doom II maps, it really wasn't that much more powerful.

Also, I doubled the amount of damage dealt by each Ironblast projectile. Now they can kill Barons with one shot again (yaaaay!).

Nope, that just got fixed.

For once I nerfed the weapons, and I think I am okay with how it is now.

pb:weapons in your videos are your custom dev. specials ?

Made by one and only DoomNukem!

The pistol is now my absolute favorite fps weapon. And an always dual wield cvar would be cool.

I'll consider that that one. Tempting, but it might make the Gunzerk useless, even if it'd be a cheat-menu thing.

DoomNukem... any word on the sword?

The fact I told you to hold your curiousity off me doesn't automatically mean you can start bickering DN instead. Let's just say he's busy.

And great thanks for all the warm comments, appreciate it!

[DoomKrakken]

I now found a glitch. If you are dual-wielding Old Dreadfuls, core-powered or not, and you fire either one of them once out of ammo, then the game crashes.

Also, when you kick while dual-wielding core-powered Old Dreadfuls, the one on the right will turn green, and will shoot the standard green Old Dreadful blasts. The one on the left is unaffected. However, it'll go back to normal once the dual-wielding is over.

It would most definitely make the Gunzerk pack useless. But I think it's a great idea. I had also expressed before that it would be cool to be able to dual-wield at any time (so long as he had the weapons). What would be great is if there was a control we could bind to that, where he can take out or put away the other weapon.

I never thought I would live to see the day... XD

Would anyone be willing to tell me how to fix that? I don't want to re-download if I don't have to.

[scroton]

Oh, I don't normally double-post, but...
Is it intentional that, when playing Hexen and you stand in a cloud of poison fog, your armor shoots up like a rocket until it maxes out at 999? Or is that a glitch?

This is a GZDoom svn-version specific bug. I forget which version. Either upgrade or downgrade whatever svn version you have.
TSP had the same issue until we figured out it was on GZDoom's end.

I didn't apply the fixes to the shared folder... Figures! That's fixed now, again.

I am still skeptic about it. Maybe I could add it as a cvar, if so. But as a button toggle - definitely not. Enough buttons for me.

I do this by a choice, not because I can't.

Interesting. I have another bug on top of that - when you try to use pound attack in Hexen in newer gzdoom versions, you will most likely crush yourself. Guess I should report that, somehow.

EDIT: And take note that while I say it's fixed, it doesn't automatically mean I immediately update the files. It will get updated when I'll feel like it's enough changes/fixes on my side.

[DoomKrakken]

That's the point. You chose to nerf it. That's what makes it unbelievable (just kidding, though... everyone changes, some time or another).

Here's another glitch... you can only purchase 16 Tiberium charges in the shop, when you can have more from the Hammerspace Backpacks.

Also, here's an idea... rather than making Firebreath an ability in the player's book of arcane knowledge, why not create a separate button to trigger it, since he can do it by default? You know... like how he's able to kick.

Psh screw that. I'm going to fan retcon this into legitimacy. See, dragon body armor is reinforced with a force field, that is powered by enriched uranium. In the Hexen universe, certain toxic mushrooms release clouds of gas that draw their toxicity from naturally occurring uranium deposits. Thus, while standing in these clouds may be hazardous to a dragon's health, it does supercharge the armor's power core.

How d'ya like them apples?

[Triple S]

That or the noxious gas from the mushroom interacts with a dragon's body in a similar way to adrenaline/painkillers

Sounds too complicated. I do like complicated sci-fi ideas, but the armor seems to be much more simple than you guys are making it out to be. Rather, how about the armor is almost like some strange alloy? One that just gets harder from all of that acidic poison, rather than from physical stress. It could be a chemical change, rather than something purely technological or physical.

[ArchFiend156]

It is possible to add hacx support? ,would be nice i never managed to finish it

[TerminusEst13]

The obvious answer is just that Cygnis gets powers from mushrooms.

It's the only sensible explanation.
