Re: [WIP] MindFuck
well i've tried this, but its too early for me to judge, but i like where its going. ill say right now weapon redundancy might be an issue; maybe you should be able to carry one at a time only?

Re: [WIP] MindFuck
Thanks for the comments, guys, and sorry for taking so long to reply. (I work in a rural area by now, and internet connection here is horrible. My Facebook gets crazy and multiplies my messages almost every time I try to post, for example ¬¬)
Some bigger weapons will not be able to be carried, like the rocket launcher. Player will drop it on the deselect action. It happens with the pipe now, but is a little annoying yet because player still gets the pipe if he walks over it after having just dropped it. I think the 'press use' feature would solve this problem.
The variety of weapons are most because of the history: Enforcer pistol, semi-auto shotgun and rifle are Marine's weaponry, while Glock pistol, shotgun and "autogun" are security guard's weapons. Beretta, revolver and double barrel shotgun are illicit/trafficked weapons inside UAC, and usually appears with civilians and/or zombies. The melee weapons will be varied so player can use scenario object as weapons (gas cylinders, chairs, pipes, barrels, etc) and also work tools (chainsaw, wrench, maybe screwdrivers and drills).
I still thinking on how to manage it and keep a good gameplay, so any suggestion is welcome.
Yes, I'm still thinking on how to manage the weapons carrying. I'd like to make something like the modern shooters, in which you obtain weapons by pressing "use" on it, and not just walking over it, and also drop the gun you are using if you obtain a new one. Doom3 is weird for me in this case, because it is absurd to "carry" a rocket launcher and a chaingun/minigun and also use a plasma rifle, hehe. But I'm afraid it'd be bad for the gameplay. So I'm still not very sure of how to manage this.doomer1 wrote:well i've tried this, but its too early for me to judge, but i like where its going. ill say right now weapon redundancy might be an issue; maybe you should be able to carry one at a time only?

I don't know if the whole "press use" thing is a good idea. Maybe you could fix the pipe problem simply by making the player "throw" it away instead of just "dropping" it at his foot.Ravick wrote:The melee weapons will be varied so player can use scenario object as weapons (gas cylinders, chairs, pipes, barrels, etc) and also work tools (chainsaw, wrench, maybe screwdrivers and drills).
I like the idea of making big weapons not being able to be carried. You could make the player be able to carry 2 or 3 small weapons like the glock and the flashlight should be counted too. You could also put a "backpack" somewhere so the player could carry more weapons and even the flares too. After picking it up the player could use an inventory system to carry these things and if a weapon is used, it would replace the first or second or whatever weapons the player wants in their slot (that would be like taking the weapon out of the backpack and putting the one in the player's hand in).

Re: [WIP] MindFuck
I kind of hate the name "Mindf*ck". Could you change it to something a bit better?

Re: [WIP] MindFuck
(i've fixed my internet conection problems, so I can finally log here daily again! 
)
I was thinking at it in these days I could not log here in Zdoom. For a better balance, it could be that the player would be able to carry two 'small' weapons ("side arms", like pistols*) and one big (two hands, like shotgun or rifle) weapon. And also if he picks up some melee weapon form the scenario, he'd be able to use it without loosing any 'real' weapon. After taking a backpack, I guess he could be able to carry all the not-too-big-nor-to-absurd-weapon (I mean, he'd not carry chairs in the backpack, but all or almost the real weapons that are not too big).
(*) There is some expressions in English that is still not very clear for me. In movies and games the "side arm" is a pistol, but I don't know exactly what it means... o.õ
)It is the way the pipe works now, Player throw it a little far when droping it, and the droped pipe cannot be picked up by a few seconds. But it is still annoying in the dark areas, when player is running away from danger and passes over the pipe.Leonard2 wrote:I don't know if the whole "press use" thing is a good idea.

Oops, i forgot to mention that the backpack will have this function. But I like this idea of replacing the slot itself (I don't know how I could do that yet however, haha)Leonard2 wrote: I like the idea of making big weapons not being able to be carried.

Hehe! There was a release at DoomWorld foruns of another mod called "Mindfuck". Since then I was thinking about it too. I don't know, at first I decided to just add an "s" and call it MidFucks, but them I've remembered that Revilution once gave me the idea of calling it "FodeMentes" (wich means mindfuck in portuguese). I'm also still thinking at it.LucasGodzilla wrote:I kind of hate the name "Mindf*ck". Could you change it to something a bit better?

Re: [WIP] MindFuck
A sidearm is basically a smaller, backup weapon (pistols and revolvers are well-suited for this) that, in most cases, someone would only use if their main weapon (such as a combat rifle) was lost, ran out of ammo, isn't being carried at the time, is too big/unnecessary for the job, etc.Ravick wrote:(*) There is some expressions in English that is still not very clear for me.

To be technical, a sidearm could also be something like a dagger. The point is that it's easily carried and ready to draw and use very quickly.

Hey Ravick. Is the project dead? I would love to do some co-op with my friend. Just wondering about the status of this wad. Thanks.

Re: [WIP] MindFuck
Its not dead, Ichtudirweh. Sorry the long time to reply.
BTW,
This is the oldest map of the mod, and is a little more "action" then horror.
I was away for some time, but now I'm modding again.
