Help Needed for Project

Post by welrod1337 »

About 4 months back a fantastic wad came out containing quite possibly one of my favorite weapons of all time. I loved it so much that I wanted to play able to use it alone specifically as a separate wad in GZDOOM, that way it would easily fit with any other wad, and it was the only weapon from the wad I really cared for. I asked the author's help and permission on this a couple months, but never got a response, therefore I wont leave any links to the wad I'm trying to strip down to one weapon. I've experimented for month's but always end up with various zscript errors, I've tried stripping it down to the weapons, sprites, sounds, and scripts and removing tracing of anything else, but that didn't seem to work. I've tried a few other things as well but it's all dead ends. Would anyone have advice on taking a wad, and stripping it down to the one weapon I want?

Because there are weapon probably can inherit from specific class, or use specific, mod defined, function, etc.

Assuming that I havn't been told by the creator I can't do this, I guess its alright to tell you.
The original wad in question is Ouch_m2: Abort M, in this really well made weapon pack lies quite possible my dream of a doom weapon:
Its an Astolfo plushie that will suck your **** in return for armor, and can be sent out with a delightful song to suck other enemies ****s whilst calling them the term used to refer to homosexuals.
Its a fantastic weapon thats great fun to use, I just wish I could use it in the normal line up as a singular wad, without all the other things Abort M has added.
Thanks for both the help and response.

I have no particular desire to put it in order, so just replace (save copies first!) files in abort mod pack with this
abort_astolfo.pk3
Rude, but works as you needed. Next yourself, what delete and from where.

Apeirogon, I don't know what to say.
I've been battling this for months trying to live in my fantasy wad.
People on other forums laughed at me and called me names.
Everyone thought it was stupid.
Then on here, at a moments notice a knight in shining armor appeared.
You, Apeirogon.
You're advice and wisdom helped so much I crafted what I've been searching for.
And thanks to you.
Living another day would be nice.
Thank you.
So much.
