Doom RPG SE [unofficial, bugfix-ish]

[affandede]

Hmm, only event that causes FPS drops for me is Vicious Downpour (I have a Intel HD 515). You must have a pretty old PC?
Is there anything in particular that causes the drops?

I have a laptop with an i5, 8 gigs of ram and a GT940m graphics card. The lag is probably caused by some obscure GZDoom setting(s?). By the way, I am playing drpg with drla. Maybe faster attacking monsters and all those effects do something? I've also noticed some intense lag even without an event on some later maps of Scythe 2.

Bug report:
Shield parts don't show up in your inventory when you buy them, thus using a shield is impossible. Running this via ZDL with RLA 1.1, but I encountered the same problem when running DoomRPG only. Everything else seems to be fine, but I haven't played for very long, so I probably haven't had the chance to encounter any more bugs.

Also, you are doing God's work by keeping DRPG alive. Cheers, friend.

EDIT:
I got the same problem launching DRPG and DRPG + RLA 1.1 via the DRPG launcher, so it doesn't seem to be a load order problem.

[affandede]

Because shield parts are not supposed to be shown in your inventory. Check the Shield page on Drpg menu.

[OfficialYeen]

Ah, poor working on my part. I did check the shield page.

[Sumwunn]

Haha that's rough! Just another day with DRPG.

What shield part(s) did you buy?

It's not on the desk in the shop right?

[Forevener]

DRPG SE Launcher v1.0 is released, please update.

[OfficialYeen]

omfg... it was indeed on the desk in the shop because I had "shop anywhere" toggled off. Thanks for helping me figure this out! It seems so obvious now.

Thanks for making Doom RPG stay alive. although there's only one roadblock...

Why the "Runaway Script "_MonsterStatsInit" terminated" spews out sometimes after i play it for sometime (usually maps 10 to 19)? it's a gamebreaking bug.

has anyone encountered this runaway script thingy before?

I've been getting "runaway script "_MonsterDeath" terminated" frequently, but it doesn't seem to affect anything, so I just put it on the list of DRPG quirks.

[Sumwunn]

Sigh, those are the bane of DRPG.
I haven't seen those in ages. I hoped they got fixed along with compiler updates. The fact that it's still happening means I shall have to sift through the depths of the monster code.

I'm sorry guys. Must be really annoying to see a "bugfixed version" only to have it crash same old.

I'll give this high priority.

Also, is it just a few scripts or the whole mod?

EDIT:
Hey guys, I've made some changes to how the monster handlers are handled when they are dead/alive. This solved the following scripts from running away after killing all monsters then teleporting into the Outpost from NUTS.WAD. I'm not sure how that translates into a normal play-through but it makes some sense if play-throughs are crashing midway through WADS. Something to do with total monsters killed it seems.
- MonsterInit, MonsterInitStats, MonsterStatsHandler, MonsterAuraDisplayHandler, MonsterRegenerationHandler & MonsterAggressionHandler.
I have the fixes uploaded to my experimental branch. If someones willing to do another play-through with the potentially crashing. I'd be so grateful.

Experimental also reworks how shield damage is handled (zscript, yay!). That rework also fixes some DRLA armour getting stuck after activating shield. Details are in the commit itself.

Oh, I didn't know that was a DRPG thing. I've been experiencing crashes after playing for a while (I play this using Sentinel's Lexicon), but I just assumed it was my bad laptop being bad since it crashes all the time when I try to play fancier mods. Cheers, I'll give this a try and report anything out of the ordinary!

Hey guys. Lots to love about this mod - really appreciate you keeping it alive, Sumwunn!

I was just wondering: is there a way to switch map sets while maintaining character progression? For example, I've just played through the Master Levels using WadSmoosh as my iwad - is it possible for me to now jump into Doom 2 Map 01 without losing all my cool stuff?

Thanks!

[Forevener]

Hey! You could probably use the functionality of character saving/loading (in Doom RPG Options - Character).

Ah. I actually tried that a few days ago and assumed I was attempting to make it do something it wasn't intended for because I got a "no character data found" error upon loading in a different map set... but it worked fine just now, so I suspect I missed the step of exiting the menu after hitting "save character" - I don't remember seeing the "Depositing Items" message last time.

Anyway, cheers Forevener!

You are welcome! Yes, that takes some time, after you have pressed the button you have to exit the menu and wait in game while it's doing its stuff.
