Hello ZDoom Forums!
It's been a short while since I released something here.
And as such I wish to present you all my latest project: Dwelling Sin.
What is Dwelling Sin?
Seeing how Resident Evil is being talked about again with the release of RE4make, I decided to recreate one of the more important parts of the series in GZDoom: The inventory management.
Of course using the default inventory system wouldn't cut it, so a custom one was made using ZForms.
And the rest went from there.
I tried my best to make creating new items and weapons as simple as possible, so if you want to take a swing at this feel free to open up the mod and check the files in zscript/items/, every property has a comment describing what it does and the included classes can serve as good starting points.
Here's a demonstration:

And without further ado, here's the download link:

[1.0c]

Sinner
They could have been anyone. A police officer, a businessman, a politician. But that doesn't matter now.
All that matters is that they still have a chance to survive this situation.
They come equipped with a UAC10 pistol, a single magazine and a full ammo box.
Will you help them survive this nightmare?
[MERCENARIES]
The Mercenaries are a trio of UAC-hired soldiers whose skill and expertise will help clean up this mess.
If a situation proves too much for the Sinner, any of these three might help turn the tide in your favor:
Flynn
Flynn always comes prepared, he is a true survivor.
This isn't the first time he has found himself in such a scenario and it definitely won't be the last.
Armed with his trusty custom UAC10 pistol, a spare magazine and four medikits, he will outlast everyone he's faced with all while staying silent as a mouse.
DACOTE
Real name unknown, codename DACOTE, nickname Death Incarnate.
He has successfully completed every single operation he has been given, no matter the difficulty, sometimes even being the sole survivor.
He always wields his special MP11 submachine gun, complete with a spare magazine and a full ammo box. He also holds a medikit and two grenades.
Sarge
An old, grizzled veteran, once called a One-Man-Army.
He's the oldest of the trio and with age comes wisdom. And his wisdom is that overwhelming firepower will topple any foe.
His favored tool of war is the Benellus 37 shotgun and he always keeps a full shell box and a medikit on hand. He also managed to appropriate a rocket launcher from a UAC warehouse.Spoiler: [WEAPONS]
Name: UAC10 Pistol
Information: The UAC10 is a standard issue pistol for any marine. Every recruit is taught how to use it and with UAC's proprietary 10mm caliber it's a reliable sidearm in this hellish environment.
Caliber: 10mm Aero
Name: Benellus 37 Shotgun
Information: The Benellus 37 is an absolute powerhouse of a weapon, the main line of humanity's offense. Even when the invasion started, many marines reached for their B37 to push back the incoming hordes.
Caliber: 12 gauge
MANUAL: Requires manual pumping before firing again.
Name: "Super Shotgun"
Information: This beast of a weapon lacks any manufacturer marks or even a serial number. Owning such a weapon would be illegal before, but demons have little concern for legality.
Caliber: 12 gauge
DOUBLE BARREL: Primary Fire shoots the left barrel, Secondary Fire shoots the right barrel.
CUSTOMIZABLE: Can be modified with proper tools.
Name: MP11 Submachine Gun
Information: Buckler & Mach was contracted by the UAC to produce a submachine gun in their proprietary 10mm caliber. The B&M MP11 is the final result. With its compatibility with UAC10 magazines and 3-round Hyper Burst it still sees active use.
Caliber: 10mm Aero
Firemodes: Semi-auto and 3-round Hyper Burst.
Name: RAW Automatic Weapon
Information: The Rotary Assault Weapon is the latest development by the UAC to replace their previous automatic weapons. With 6 rotary barrels the RAW can sustain fire for a long time.
Caliber: 6.5mm ASTO Standard
Name: HG54 Microwave Gun
Information: B&M's little experiment, the HG54 is a revolutionary microwave gun, instantly frying whatever is unfortunate enough to be within its range. Running on UAC's Universal Power Cells it's easy to power, although its efficiency suffers.
ENERGY WEAPON: Uses Universal Power Cells to power itself.
SPLASH DAMAGE: Don't use in close quarters.
Name: MISG Rocket Launcher
Information: The MISG single-shot rocket launcher was the last product ever made by the now defunct Rogue Manufacturing. UAC seeing the chance quickly purchased the remaining stock of the weapons and keeps them stored in case of an emergency. Emergency like now.
SINGLE USE: This weapon cannot be reloaded.
SPLASH DAMAGE: Keep a safe distance when firing.
INSTANT KILL: This weapon will instantly kill any enemy on a direct hit.
Name: FRG4 Grenade
Information: FRG4 grenades were a common sight back before the invasion. Now they are a cherished rarity after most of them have been used up. It has a 4-second fuse.
THROWN: The throw distance can be charged by holding Fire.
FUSE: The grenade will explode 4 seconds after throwing.
SPLASH DAMAGE: Keep a safe distance to the grenade.
Name: TeleFOG Stun Grenade
Information: FRG4's less lethal cousin, the TeleFOG stun grenade, commonly known as the flashbang, delivers an extremely bright flash of light which disorients anyone looking directly at it. It has a 4-second fuse.
THROWN: The throw distance can be charged by holding Fire.
FUSE: The grenade will explode 4 seconds after throwing.
BLINDING: Don't look directly at it during detonation or else you will feel what enemies do.
Name: FRG5 Proximity Mine
Information: The FRG5 proximity mine sought to fix one of the major problems of the FRG4 grenade: Its fuse. Forgoing a fuse entirely, the FRG5 instead rellies on a proximity sensor to detonate itself.
PROXIMITY: The mine will detonate automatically once something gets too close.
SPLASH DAMAGE: Keep a safe distance to the mine.
DEFUSABLE: The mine can be defused if approached carefully and interacted with.
Name: N-GE Acid Ripper Bomb
Information: The N-GE is a clever little device, even if it's nothing more than a glass jar holding energized acid pellets. On contact with the atmosphere, each pellet explodes with velocity and expels very strong acid as it bounces around. Protection recommended.
THROWN: The throw distance can be charged by holding Fire.
IMPACT: Don't expect a fuse, the bomb shatters immediately upon contact.
CORROSIVE: The acid pellets are strongly corrosive and will rip through anything, protection is highly recommended.
Name: [REDACTED]
Information: [REDACTED]
Caliber: [REDACTED]
[DO NOT INTERACT WITH OBJECTS BROUGHT OVER BY A TIME ANOMALY]Spoiler: [AMMUNITION]
Caliber Type: 10mm Aero
Round: JHP
Information: 10mm Aero is UAC's brand new proprietary round used in their UAC10 pistols. Compared to pistol rounds of the previous decade, the 10mm packs a serious punch and excels at stopping small demons.
Round: +P
Information: 10mm +P isn't an official type of round produced by the UAC, but that never stopped private gunsmiths from doing it. This round has been loaded with an unreasonable amount of gunpowder and will pack a punch for it.
Round: NTX
Information: 10mm NTX rounds were developed for special forces to aid operatives in stealth missions. They are capable of delivering a deadly dose of toxin to the target, assuming adrenaline hasn't kicked in.
Caliber Type: 12 Gauge
Round: BUCK
Information: A handful of 12 gauge buckshot shells. Throughout the ages 12 gauge never went out of style.
Round: BIRD
Information: A handful of 12 gauge birdshot shells. Formally a hunting round, but regulations never specified hunting what exactly and with the sheer amount of pellets loaded into it, any demon will have a bad day.
Round: SLUG
Information: A handful of 12 gauge slugs. Instead of having pellets like a usual shotgun shell, this round instead has a single massive ball of lead that will leave a gaping hole through whatever you are firing at.Spoiler: [MAP OBJECTS]
[STORAGE BOXES]
Around the map you may find a storage box.
Those magical crates allow you to store items and transport them between maps no problem.
Use one if you want to store something for later use.
[SAVE STATIONS]
By default they are turned off, but can be turned on in the options.
Those stations can be used to save your game, but they require a limited Save Drive item to use.
Turning on this option doesn't disable regular saving, this is merely an optional alternative to it.
And of course, the credits.
This project would have never been made if not for the help of some really wonderful people and for that I thank you all.
Anyway, full credits:
