Gloom Busters

Not if they don't have 3rd person sprites
I'm just interested to know people's opinions before I go doing what I want to (which I probably will anyway, just to see how it works)

Personally, I like to know what my character looks like.

Anyway, back to your mod, I noticed you replaced... for lack of a better word, windows with diagonal bars with black glass walls that the enemies can see through but you do not. It is kind of annoying, as you cannot see what is shooting at you as well as what you are shooting at.

[Captain J]

I think i know what it's looks like, but i'm pretty sure it does happens in vanilla doom as well. Whatever the windows are barely visible, the enemies knows where you are and keep attacking at you anyways. It's just a straight and artificially scripted AI problem, honestly. So what should you do? fight back, by shooting wherever they are attacking you!

[Skelegant]

That's weird, they're meant to be transparent. Can you take a screenshot so I can see exactly what it's doing?

also I made a mockup of a possible second mod

Lemon Lady vs toxic mutant apples and a bucket of chicken giblets

[Captain J]

Looks tasty and greaty! can't wait to be stuffed there!

That's weird, they're meant to be transparent. Can you take a screenshot so I can see exactly what it's doing?

They're transparent to me, i played it with gzdoom and nothing funny things were happened to the windows.

I just got my hands on the Disposable Camera: what does it do exactly? It does not seem to hurt enemies nor does it use its ammo. Come to think of it, neither does the chainsaw replacement.

As for my graphical issue, here you go:

[Skelegant]

EWW YUCK I have no idea why it's doing that but it looks disgusting. You might have to fiddle with your graphics settings a bit (I'd suggest copying your sourceport folder and editing the copy, to prevent any unfortunate mistakes like the time I somehow half switched off opengl shading and had to reinstall)
The camera doesn't do anything apart from give you ammo, it's just there for a laugh The chainsaw replacement does do damage, you need to be close enough for it to work though.

No, I mean, the chainsaw has an ammo count, but it does not seem to be using it. The same goes for the ring weapon.

[Skelegant]

It's not supposed to. If it did it wouldn't be worth using it

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Why gives them an ammo count if they are not using it?

I also noticed picking a blursphere does turn my weapon completely black. Could this have something to do with my graphical issue?

[Skelegant]

The ammo count could probably be removed. The black effect is meant to be there, rather than going invisible you just don't reflect any light.

Nice mockup you did there,it's definitely better to have the characters being foods,also Lemon Lady is a good choice for the protagonist.

If there's one title i would suggest for that mod,there's only one that would fit...'Food Fight'.

As for the hud i would change some of the words with something themed after the mod,like instead of oomph/health it would be 'Taste',for defense it would be 'Texture' or 'Layers',ammo with 'Food' and stuffs with 'Menus'.

And the best is that all those words have the same amount of letters in them.

[Skelegant]

It does have more of a coherent theme, which is nice. "Food fight" conjures up images of a poorly-animated dog eating rasins, I'll probably come up with some food-related pun title instead. Changing the stuff list to Menu is a cool idea though
Behold the first enemy: G-Mo the mutant apple!


There's apples you can eat too, but they're lumpy and more natural looking. If I'm gonna make a mod about food, I get to make it as preachy as I want

[Freaklore1]

Yeah when i came up with those puns,i tought about what would fit with the food theme.

Taste (Health) - The higher the % the tastier that Lemon will be.

Layers (armor) - As in 'that Onion (or Lemon) as multiple layers wich make it more resistant'.

Menu (weapons slots) - As in 'when i go to the restaurant i check the menu to see what i want to eat'.

Food (ammo) -Well because your weapons shoot food projectiles.

Talking about projectiles,it would be nice when you shoot,once your food projectile hit an enemy it splatter and make a 'splat' sound effect.

[Skelegant]

I could add those, but I'll have to see how the mod turns out (depending on what I add it might not make sense to call them that)
The lemon pistol fires energy balls, so it won't make a splat sound, but I'll do a lemon launcher at some point which will most definately case splattering
Progress so far:

[Freaklore1]

Love those bits of apple flying off when you kill G-mo.

I still think those puns work very well,but if you can find something better go ahead.
