Hell-Forged (updated to v1.11 - development paused)

[Amuscaria]

Updated to version v1.11. Was going to save this update for the release of Episode 2, but that episode is behind schedule and I found some map-breaking bugs in the current version that needed addressing. The rest of the stuff will just come out with Episode 2's alpha test.

---

►Added damage factor for poison damage to all monsters. Bosses take reduced poison damage (1/8); spirit and mechanical enemies cannot be poisoned at all.

►Updated the status bar graphic.

►Basilisk's powered up missiles now has a ~3 second life, and calls A_VectorSeeker 1/4 as often (but turns 4x as much) to reduce lag.

►Fixed automap clutter in various maps.

►Fixed a bug that made it impossible to get 100% items in HF1M8 because the Green forge power-ups weren't being removed when a new one was selected.

►Fixed a bug that caused the Director's 1-direction alt-attack animation to jitter due to GZDoom sprite clipping and sprite size differences.

►Fixed a bunch of map texture errors.

►Fixed the extra frame in the Infernal's melee attack.

►Fixed a bug that prevented Cacodemons from infighting Infernals correctly. Infernals and Cacodemons are no longer 1 species.

►Fixed the Cacodemon melee attack. Now bleeds into the Missile state, which uses A_CustomComboAttack.

►Fixed an issue with the Hellsmith getting stuck on small ledges after charging by adding a DROPOFF flag.

Really love design of weapons, super cool and all of them have alt fire so so double cool. Monster are interesting and with some new mechanics - armor, resistances - this is great. Would be nice if melee fight was somehow expanded since its kinda fantasy style some more melee-monsters and player to fight in melee could be expand somehow - option to block or even reflect shots not just by hold button but some more skilful way would super interesting. Level design could also be more like strafe - reminding somehow fantasy style places - then doom - corridors of various complexity with things to kill

You can already reflect projectiles with the current Vorpal Blade, if you swing at the right moment. The frame window is pretty small though.

Hey, sorry if you're already aware, and it's a very, very minor oversight, but I happen to notice in your weapon scripts for v1.11, for 'VorpalBlade1' under the 'FireWave' state, the 'CustomPunch' range is '64' when it should be '96' like the other clone attacks.

EDIT: and for 'VorpalBlade2' under 'FireWave' state, 'CustomPunch' dmg is '60' instead of '90' as well

[Amuscaria]

Fixed! Good catch. Thanks!

[ActionAlligator]

Glad to help

Im unable to finish first map. From what I've seen on YouTube there should be a red key at the end of narrow corridor, unfortunately small empty room with invisible wall appears.
Im running game on Delta Touch with 4.11.3 version of GZDoom.

That small alcove uses a portal. Something might have changed in the way portals work in the newest GZDoom. Lemme go check.

EDIT: Just tested with the latest GZDoom version and the portal works as it should. Maybe its something with mobile or you have some GZDoom specific option turned off?

Thank you for this incredible set of levels! I had a real fun playing them. All the mod stuff (weapons, enemies, textures, items…) are really great and consistent. I love how you designed the secrets too, there’s always a clue to reach them.

The last level (secret? I don’t know what I’ve done to reach it) is another world on its own. I would love playing more of this!

If you mean the Shark Level, then it's reached by finding the mushroom in every level.

[Firesledge]

Ah, so that’s what the mushrooms were for. I love the sharks!

Just found a bug when running Hell-Forged 1.11 with the HD Sound Pack. Running on GZDoom 4.14.2 (it may work on an older version).

In the first level, when you pick up the yellow skull key, it doesn't show up in your inventory; it just disappears from the map. You can't open any of the yellow doors because of that. I think one of the scripts from the pack is conflicting with the main HF file and causing this bug. When I run HF without the pack, the yellow skull key works normally.
