[0.7] Punkwild! (Punk never dies!)

[A.Gamma]

What is Punkwild?

Punkwild is a gameplay overhaul heavily inspired by the likes of Demonsteele and Psychic, where you'll take control of Jazz; a tough-as-nails, wise-cracking punk girl who just had enough of demons.

Lore

---

So, my name's Jazz Williams, but you can call me Jazz. I'm a drummer in the punk band The Spinning Moths, and let me tell you, I'm not your average chick. I've been called an anarchist, rebel, mercenary, and bounty hunter at some point in my life, but at the end of the day, all I care about is banging on those drums and making some noise.

Now, my childhood wasn't exactly typical. I was born into a doomsday cult called the Cult of Seven, run by my own mother. Yeah, crazy, I know. Instead of teaching us how to do math or read books, my mother taught us how to handle weapons. According to her, the end times were near and we had to be ready to join the Legions of Hell as leaders instead of slaves. Yeah, it sounds like a bunch of bull to me too, but I'll admit shooting pumpkins as a kid was pretty fun.

But here's the thing, cults have too many damn rules and power structures. And to a rebel like me, that's a big no-no. So, I started with harmless pranks to let my freak flag fly, but I always got punished for it. And if I'm gonna get beaten anyway, might as well make it worth it, right? So, I stepped up my game and started some serious rebellion: setting the cult's camp on fire, detonating the grenade stash, and kicking the crap out of some cult enforcers. Of course, that kind of stuff doesn't go over well with an evil cult. So, on my eighteenth birthday, they sacrificed me to their dark overlords. Can you believe it?

I was stuck in hell for who-knows-how-long, enduring all sorts of unspeakable horrors. But I didn't let that break me. I kept my rebellious attitude and strong determination, and eventually, I got my second chance. Some shady corporation opened a gate to hell in their research facility on Phobos, and I made my epic escape. Seriously, the demons themselves are still talking about it.

Once I was free, I needed to make some cash, so I started capturing escaped criminals. But with the legions of hell roaming around, that wasn't much of a career path. So, I joined a mercenary group. We were pretty good at demon disposal, and being a former resident of hell gave me some superhuman abilities, like increased strength and speed. And when I was really pissed off, I could swing a baseball bat with enough force to rip the head off a Baron of Hell. Yeah, I'm a badass.

But of course, nothing lasts forever. My mercenary group got wiped out by some nasty demons, and I was on my own again. So, I decided to enjoy my never-ending youth (another perk of being from hell) and wandered the galaxy. I destroyed some UAC bases, toppled some corrupt governments, and left a trail of broken alcohol bottles and empty cigarette packs wherever I went.

Then one day, I heard music from the heavens. I followed the sound and stumbled upon The Spinning Moths, a punk band that was everything I wanted to be. Their music, their attitude, their clothes - it was all amazing. So, I did what any one-hundred-and-something-year-old with the mind of a young adult would do: I learned how to play the drums. After the drummer had a freak 'accident', I took her place and joined the band.

Months flew by, and I tried my damn best to fit in with the bandmates. For the first time in my life, I actually had genuine friends that weren't involved with guns, blood, or demons. But guess what? The good times never last.

On the day of our first big show, with a crowd of one hundred people, a freaking winged monster swooped down and tore through the audience like it was nothing. Hell on Earth was back, and this time I wasn't ready. My heart shattered as I watched my friends being burnt and devoured alive. My super strength was useless against this horde of demons that flooded the streets, each one sporting the same symbol of the Cult of Seven that I knew all too well. And there was my crazy mother, controlling the toughest, meanest hell-spawn I had ever laid my eyes on.

My blood boiled with rage and vengeance. I stormed to my weapon stash and armed myself to the teeth. It was time to end this demon crap and finally face my mother. I was going to blow her damn face off with a shotgun blast, and nothing was going to stop me.

Key features

• High-Speed FPS Action! The revamped dash mechanic allows you to dash through enemies AND projectiles, and also gives you a one-second I-frame. Make full use it, because these demons aint jocking around.
• Bullet Hell! To reinforce the fast-paced style of gameplay, all the hitscanning enemies have been reworked to shoot dodgable tracers, and all projectile enemies have been enhanced one way or another to be deadlier and faster.
• Collect, kill, repeat! Every kill will give you anarchy, and every gibb will give anarchy AND health. Keep moving forward, keep killing, keep collecting!
• A different kind of BFG! Anarchy is used to fuel the all-mighty baseball bat, which can sweep through hordes as if it were a landmower on grass.
• CVars, CVars, CVars... Punkwild has CVars to control almost every of it's aspects. You want to deal more damage or take more damage? CVars! You want to get Anarchy faster? CVars! You don't want Jazz to talk as much or not talk at all? CVars!
• Compatibility with almost every WAD out there! Want to play that cool new megawad but it has new enemies? You can run Punkwild with it almost without issues! Sure, the new enemies will not trigger Jazz's voice lines or be balanced for the custom damage types and resistances, but they'll drop coins!

Changelog

---

Changelog for current Version 0.7. Full changelog inside the PK3.

• Added a simple gore system.
• Added new sprites for the Baseball Bat.
• Added a new reward for gibbing. Gibbed monsters now drop Health Hearts, which will give you a small health bonus.
• Added a CVAR to change whether or not a pickup is requiered to activate Wild Mode.
• Reworked the Assault Rifle into the Speargun. The Speargun fires slower than the rifle, but it's ammo rips through most enemies, making it perfect for large groups.
• Reworked the Revolvers into the 9mm Pistols, the pistols are as powerful as the revovlers, hold more than double it's ammo and are more accuarate.
• Reworked the Wild Mode activation system, now you need to first pickup the baseball bat itself before using it. This can be changed in the options menu.
• Reworked the dashing system, dashing is now limited to 3 in a row and it takes 3 seconds to recharge, but each dash will give you brief invincibility.
• Reworked the Clever Monster Disguise powerup (Invisibility replacement). It now will fear any monster around you.
• Reworked the Bat Healing System. Instead of healing 45 health flat and taking that amount of Anarcy, it will now heal up to 50 and take anarchy proportionate to the healing done. Cooldown remains the same.
• Reworked the Archvile resurrection. Instead of spawning ghost versions of the monsters once, the Archvile now uses corpses to create Gore Abominations.
• Replaced the Spidermastermind with the Hell Duchess. The Hell Duchess is also a spider-like monster with a rapid firing attack that summons an explosion when up close. Compared to the old Spiderboss, it's overall more dangerouns and fun to play against.
• Replaced the Combat Shotgun for a SPAS 12 type. The SPAS shoots faster and does not need to toggle between fire modes, giving it an overall higher DPS.
• Replaced the Bourbon Soulsphere powerup with the Soda Regenerative Powerup, and made the Soda more powerful.
• Replaced the Party Pack Megashphere with the Bourbon. This is is just a visual change.
• Replaced the Soda Berserk Powerup with the new Vampire Fangs Powerup. Vampire Fangs allow for 50% lifesteal for 45 seconds.
• Replaced the Automatic Riotgun with a custom Explosive Ammo Powerup, which will make all your weapons more powerful and dangerous.
• Increased the attack speed of the Baseball Bat.
• Increased Jazz's base movement speed, this change allows to more easily dodge incoming projectiles.
• Reduced the health of most enemies. This should hopefully speed up gameplay.
• Reduced the ammo obtained from Clips and Used Clips by half.
• Reduced the ammo obtained from Napalm Cannisters and Jerrycans by half.
• Reduced the health obtained from Six Packs by 10.
• Removed the very slight delay between clicking the fire button and the gun actually firing for all guns.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Tortured Spirits from being damaged by other monsters.
• Fixed an issue that made it possible to use the heal from the Baseball Bat while at 100 or more health.
• Fixed a long standing issue that caused audio overlap when spawning and immediately killing an enemy or picking up a weapon.
• Fixed an issue where Devils and Arch-Devils did not light up when attacking.
• Made Cellpacks spawn two spear bundles when spawning near a Speargun or a Diamond Coin otherwise.
• Walking through fire left by the Napalm Launcher will no longer thrust you as an explosion.
• Game HUD will now display collected weapons to avoid confusion.
• Game HUD will now display the dashes left as white dots in the left of the screen, next to the health bar.
• Game HUD has been updated to reflect the new sprite of the bat.

Known Issues

---

• As with any mod that adds dashes, you might break some maps while dashing around, so use them with caution.
• Killing with the pistols sometimes spawns health as if the enemy were gibbed.
• The old "You got a pickup" bug is still around.
• Sometimes you will randomly dash, wether you use double-tap or shift dash.
• Sometimes, when you change weapons really fast, you'll shoot randomly.

This is a pretty good mod! But I do have some suggestions

The monsters are fun to fight, but I think that you should possibly make a option to turn them off or make a weapons only version, because maybe people might want to play this mod with other monster mods, also I think the pain elemental replacement may be a bit overpowered. Another suggestion is, I think the one liner's and wise-cracking can get a bit annoying at times, so it'd be neat if you could be able to turn them off, but that's just me.

Hey! Glad that you liked the mod! Now, regarding your suggestions:

Unfortunately, the monsters are a necessity for this mod, since with the weaponry at your disposal plus the Wild Mode the standard Doom monsters don't stand a chance. I may still add a version without the new sprites and behaviour in the future, but even then damage and health numbers would still have to be tweaked.
I will look into the Pain Elemental replacement, maybe make its attack a little slower to prevent it from overwhelming the player.

As for the one-liners, I agree. I plan on adding cvars to control how much Jazz talks during gameplay.

Again, thank you for playing the mod and hope that you continue to find it enjoyable

I tried this a bit and it's a lot of fun! I really enjoy Jazz's voicework and the HUD is awesome. Weapons feel very nice and punchy. One thing I noticed pretty quick is that if you're dual wielding and you reload one gun while firing another, the gunshot sound gets cut off!! I think you can try playing the gunshot sound and reload sound on different sound channels.

Unfortunately, the monsters are a necessity for this mod, since with the weaponry at your disposal plus the Wild Mode the standard Doom monsters don't stand a chance.

That's understandable, but a version without the monster replacements would make your mod compatible with stuff like Colourful Hell or other difficulty-increasing monster replacement mods. Just a thought ! This is great either way

[Lagi]

i think the anarchometer should be charged faster. It take too long to collect enough coins.

[Jarewill]

Gave it a quick play, and it's quite interesting so far.
However a few things:
- With developer 2 mode on, shooting the revolvers results in an ACS error: "PUMPOVER" unknown actor class.
- The pickup message of the napalm launcher says it's on slot 6, when it's on slot 5.
- If you load the quad shot with the riot shotgun when at 4 ammo left in the magazine, trying to unload the quad shot will result in the player reloading the shotgun and the next altfire press will unload the quad shot into the full magazine, losing 4 shells in the process.

[Tc_667]

Gave it a quick play, looks promising, i like the "Zone wiped" element that pops up once you beated a level, keep up the good work!

[A.Gamma]

Glad to know that people are enjoying this!

Thanks for the feedback! I noticed the cutoff thing myself shortly after uploading and will be addressed in the next version.

Using custom monsters with this mod would mean that you won't get coins from killing them. Maybe there's some Zscript wizardry that would allow this mod to play nicely with monster randomizers, but I do not know of it. Still, thanks for the feedback!

i think the anarchometer should be charged faster. It take too long to collect enough coins.

I made it that way since the baseball bat is basically a BFG that you can use on any level with enough anarchy. Still, for the next version, I'll add a CVar to let people control how much anarchy they gain from coins.

Gave it a quick play, and it's quite interesting so far.
However a few things:

Interesting. This is most likely a leftover from a pump-action shotgun I added at some point. I was sure I got rid of every reference to it, but it seems like I missed one. Thanks for the heads up!

- The pickup message of the napalm launcher says it's on slot 6, when it's on slot 5.

Definitely leftover from the pump-action shotgun. Will fix on the next update.

- If you load the quad shot with the riot shotgun when at 4 ammo left in the magazine, trying to unload the quad shot will result in the player reloading the shotgun and the next altfire press will unload the quad shot into the full magazine, losing 4 shells in the process.

Thanks for the detailed report! I'll address this for the next update!

Maybe there's some Zscript wizardry that would allow this mod to play nicely with monster randomizers, but I do not know of it.

Some time ago when I was trying out ZScript for the first-ish time, I made this simple Event Handler that makes every enemy drop health bonuses based on their health.

Also shooting the SMGs results in "PUMPOVER" ACS errors.

[A.Gamma]

Some time ago when I was trying out ZScript for the first-ish time, I made this simple Event Handler that makes every enemy drop health bonuses based on their health.
It starts at 1 health bonus and gives more every 100 health of the enemy. (Zombies dropped 1, Pinkies 2, Barons 11 and Cyberdemons 41)

My only problem with doing it like that is the fact that even Cybers would drop Bronze coins instead of Diamond + Platinum. But I might as well just add it in the future with a disclaimer or something

Also shooting the SMGs results in "PUMPOVER" ACS errors.

Ah, crap. I think I know what might be causing it if it happens with both dualies. Thanks again for the feedback.

[Jarewill]

My only problem with doing it like that is the fact that even Cybers would drop Bronze coins instead of Diamond + Platinum. But I might as well just add it in the future with a disclaimer or something

Oh right, haven't thought about that, sorry.
Well, that shouldn't be hard to fix anyways, I'll PM you a fixed one in a bit.

[Captain J]

OH, AM GEE!! This mod is so poggers and just a lit, fam! In all seriousness, this mod is interesting and cute mod with lively and badass attitude. The weapon roster reminds me of Shadow Warrior and Serious Sam combined. And heck, even Akimbo Revolvers and Riot Gun are in there. I'm loving it!

---

- Uzi feels not really powerful, i mean visually. When i fire this weapon, the muzzle flash comes out and there's no kickback, the recoil.


- I think holstering animation must be there. It's okay if it's very fast or lacks animation. Because i get this graphical error when i'm switching the weapon!

- Riot Gun's firing sound effect gets cut off by cocking sound.

And i would like to spend one or two shells instead of four when i'm doing the Alt-Fire. The delay animation takes quite a time because it always take four shells.

- Are there will be more weapons to replace SSG and BFG? I know that Anarchy Powerup is very useful, but replacing SSG into a Riot Gun is quite meh.

- The protagonist speaks quite a lot! I have no problem with that, but some people might be annoyed over it! Heh. So is there are way to turn her volume down manually?

- How can i check certain powerup's duration time? Regeneration Coke is awesome, but i don't know when will go off.

- Revenant's homing missile starts to hit the floor.

- SMG Zombie's firing animation is quite weird. Their left arm keeps moving.

- When my Assault Rifle runs out of ammo while zoomed, the firing sound gets cut off.

And that's about it. The Anarchy meter is fascinating and makes me feel really powerful and amazing. Thanks for making this awesome gameplay mod, freely!

[Alamo985]

Works great with Delta Touch, though it's hard to dodge with touch controls. Considering add a weapons only patch, or nerfed enemies for mobile users.
Also, switching weapons animations were bugged somehow.
Preview video is planned, I'll upload to YouTube a later date.

[A.Gamma]

Oh right, haven't thought about that, sorry.
Well, that shouldn't be hard to fix anyways, I'll PM you a fixed one in a bit.

Got your PM, that should make for a better system for third-party monster mods or just for people who want vanilla monsters.

Glad that you're enjoying it, Captain!

- Uzi feels not really powerful, i mean visually. When i fire this weapon, the muzzle flash comes out and there's no kickback, the recoil.

The Uzis shoot every tic, so while they should technically recoil visually, it seems they're just too fast for the game to move them properly. Maybe I'll add an extra tic just for visuals.

- I think holstering animation must be there. It's okay if it's very fast or lacks animation. Because i get this graphical error when i'm switching the weapon!

Now that's a bug that I haven't been able to replicate. Maybe it has to do something with the GZDoom version? I'm running versions 4.3.3 and 4.4.2.

- Riot Gun's firing sound effect gets cut off by cocking sound.

I don't know how I missed that, thanks for the feedback!

And i would like to spend one or two shells instead of four when i'm doing the Alt-Fire. The delay animation takes quite a time because it always take four shells.

Hmmm, not sure how I feel about that idea. The alt-fire for the riot gun is supposed to be more tactical, something that opens space against a group of enemies or burst a single enemy at point-blank range.

- Are there will be more weapons to replace SSG and BFG? I know that Anarchy Powerup is very useful, but replacing SSG into a Riot Gun is quite meh.

Sorry about that, but there will not be any new weapons to replace the SSG or BFG. The riot hits almost as hard as the SSG and has a much faster fire rate, so I say it's a good weapon to replace it

- The protagonist speaks quite a lot! I have no problem with that, but some people might be annoyed over it! Heh. So is there are way to turn her volume down manually?

The next version will have an option to turn off her one-liners and to control how often she says one!

- How can i check certain powerup's duration time? Regeneration Coke is awesome, but i don't know when will go off.

D'oh! I don't know how I overlooked that. I'll add a powerup timer for the next version!

- Revenant's homing missile starts to hit the floor.

Isn't that normal behavior? I'll add the precise flag to see how it feels in the next version.

- SMG Zombie's firing animation is quite weird. Their left arm keeps moving.

I can't unsee it now that you mentioned it. I'll change the states to something more consistent.

- When my Assault Rifle runs out of ammo while zoomed, the firing sound gets cut off.

I think it's showing that audio is not really my forte, is it? I'll have it fixed by the next version

And that's about it. The Anarchy meter is fascinating and makes me feel really powerful and amazing. Thanks for making this awesome gameplay mod, freely!

Thanks a lot for the super helpful feedback! It's really appreciated.

Works great with Delta Touch, though it's hard to dodge with touch controls. Considering add a weapons only patch, or nerfed enemies for mobile users.
Also, switching weapons animations were bugged somehow.
Preview video is planned, I'll upload to YouTube a later date.

Nice to know this is working with Delta Touch even! I'll add an option to toggle custom enemies on and off for the next version and I might add a hotkey based dodged on the future. As for the switching animations, is it maybe the same one that Captain J showed? I think that it might be the GZDoom version but who knows.

[Wivicer]

It's nice to see Gaige getting some love, even if it's not exactly her. She was my favorite Borderlands 2 character.

Fun stuff
