[*ALPHA 1.9.1*] QualityDoom - TweaksnFixes(Nov. 17 2013)

[FireHusky]

The mod is supposed to make the gameplay better by my taste.

WARNING: This mod is **almost done being** fresh. Expect uncommon miracles.


How was it born? Well, it started out with a simple possessing lost soul add-on, until I got to the fire. This is the result so far.

That's not how you link Youtube videos. If you read the Forum Rules (which you really should) it explains how to do that:

HOW TO USE YOUTUBE TAGS
By popular demand, ZDoom Forums can embed YouTube videos within your posts. There is a very specific way you must do this, however. First, copy the YouTube video URL. You can get this from your address bar or by clicking "Share" on the video's page and copying the URL. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUQIDRu92QE

In your post, use a youtube tag and copy only the video ID - that is, only the characters to the right of watch?v=. An example of how that should look in your post:

Code: Select all

Anyways, I'll play the wad in a bit. Where the cake is the download link on this page.

Why not use DRDTeam's filespace or Mediafire instead of a file hosting service I've never heard of?

Added Mediafire to mirrors. Sorry.

Thanks, added MediaFire link.

Interesting take. Just some thoughts because I've done similar things:

• Lost soul needs to die (through [wiki]A_Die[/wiki]) when it raises something so that the killcounts aren't messed up. (right now the lost soul and what it possesses both count as monsters and the LS doesn't count as killed after it disappears on possession.)
• Black fire effect could use a bit more polish. Could also have a negative glow associated with it in GL.
• This can superduperoverüberpower the pain elemental given that a single LS can raise anything from a former human to a baron. I don't know how to change this though many counterbalancing options are available.

Thanks. I'll put A_Die into the lost souls script. Also polishing the fire more, and I will maybe make the Pain Elemental like a suicidal bomber, but still spewing out Lost Souls?

[FireHusky]

... a single LS can raise anything from a former human to a baron. I don't know how to change this though many counterbalancing options are available.[

Inventory hack?
Have the Lost Soul give itself an item when it enters the resurrecting state, then if it has enough of the item, it causes a jump to a modified See state, where it gradually "cools down" by taking the item away, and doing A_Chase's w/o doing a resurrection search.

(I need to figure out how I can replace Painymental with Painelemental, as Painelemental replaces Painelemental messes Painymental up)

How so?

It gave the pain elemental a missle attack, but I found out how to fix it. It was so simple it was hard for me. never mind...

Actor blah replaces Painelemental
{
Stuff
}

EDIT:
I dont really see how the lost soul could give itself a item, since it is "dead" forever when possessing a body? But I could see a use for this for nerfing that is for a fiery guy we love that could rapidly arise enemies from the dead sucessfully.

Will update tommorow Delayed.

The way the lost souls work now is that they "enter" a body, thereby disappearing from the map at the end of their heal state. For vanilla Doom 1 maps where LS's are usually paired with low-hitpoint mooks this doesn't make them overpowered at all, but this does mean the pain elemental becomes a flying archvile with remote-resurrect.

As for how a dead monster can be given an item, [wiki]A_GiveInventory[/wiki] can be used on any actor on a map. (My own mod, for instance, calls A_GiveInventory to give a flag if a lesser monster is gibbed, and checks for that flag so it plays the correct animation when it's raised.)

I was too lazy to put alot of stuff in the changelog, only major noticeable features. Enjoy!

=!ALPHA 1.2!=
[*]Switched music from map30 to title screen, title screen music to map30
[*]Painymental added! (Permenetly replaces Painelemental, does not exist anymore)
[*]Added red fog on map30
[-]No proper ending for Map30 (bugged)

[FireHusky]

Sorry for the broken links guys! I made a new account and finally got the time to activate it! Won't happen again!

Oh, and here's the new update:

=!ALPHA 1.3!=
[*]New messages!
