[Monsters/Weapon/Sprites] Things and whatnot

[Finalizer]

Various things I've concocted. Use and abuse at your leisure.

MONSTERS

---

Paladin

"These mighty warriors were condemned to Hell for reasons unknown, and now they're back to battle again in Hell's invasions... Only this time, these bestial knights have traded their swords for grenade launchers! Watch out for those shields too, these brutes will summon magic fireballs with them if they're out of grenadin' range, and they'll be more than happy to use them to clobber any Marine who gets too close - or pesky underling who gets in the way - to put some distance between themselves and their foes."

The fusion-ha of the Cybruiser and Hell Warrior. Inspired by a desire to have a shield-using monster that looked Doom-ish but wasn't immediately obviously based on a Doom monster; Hence, the use of the Hell Warrior and adding in Cybruiser parts to distance it from its Hell Noble origins.

Gargoyle

Gargoyle

Gargoyle.png (2.59 KiB) Viewed 14433 times

Sprite edit by zrrion the insect. Behavior loosely inspired by the Fire Wyverns from Mordeth Ep1. Flying fodder, he chucks three weak fireballs at a distance, and will also sometimes rapidly fly toward the player to quickly get into melee range.

Phantom

Phantom

Phantom.png (2.02 KiB) Viewed 14433 times

The Press Release Lost Soul with its behavior tidied up. Fires a perfectly-accurate hitscan attack from a distance that does as much damage as a Zombieman shot, though he has a somewhat long attack animation, and a 100% pain chance which make it easy to cancel out his attack. Good for some annoying ankle biters.

Dark Imp one-armed attack (Sprites only)

A simple, generic one-armed attack animation for the Void Dark Imp. Good for a scratching melee attack.

Blood Demon leap attack (Sprites only)

Leaping attack animation for what I'm dubbing the Blood Demon, though on R667 it's referred to as the Blood Fiend/Mauler Demon Seriously, why the hell is a Cyborg Demon called the "Blood Demon," and not the one that actually resembles the name?

Satyr leap attack/alt death/gib (Sprites only)

Leaping/Tackling attack animation for the Satyr, plus the alt death/gib animations by David G thrown in for good measure.

Soul Harvester - no spikes (Sprites only)

Soul Harvester (No Spikes)

soulharvester.png (2.3 KiB) Viewed 12133 times

The R667 Soul Harvester, sans spikes. Includes brightmaps and the GLDefs lump so you can load this up behind the original .wad to see the changes.

Z-Sec gib (Sprites only)

Gib animation for the ZSec. Only contains sprites for the assault rifle variant.

WEAPONS

---

Bolt-Action Rifle

Doom Alpha Rifle with a bolt added from another sprite. Behavior inspired by the ZDCMP2 rifle. Fires a single, perfectly accurate hitscan attack that does ~5 bullet's worth of damage and takes 2 bullets per shot. Must be cocked after every shot (about as fast as the standard Doom Shotgun). Primary fire uses a Doom Shotgun-style flash, alt fire uses an Eriance-style muzzle flash; both are functionally the same.

MISC

---

Random Assortment of Brightmaps
Just a bunch of brightmaps for various monsters I've cobbled together, provided for your ease of plundering:
Chaos Serpent (R667 Magma Serpent)
Hellion (Firing frames are already included in R667 Hellion; this just adds ~glowy eyes~ to other frames)
Hierophant
Infernal (The floating monster from Demon Eclipse)
Nightshade
Overlord
Vulgar
Wraith (D3)
Zombieman (Additional attack frame yanked from the Press Release; handy for a burst-fire Zombieman variant)

[zrrion the insect]

Man, that Paladin is awesome! I'll defiantly find somewhere to use it. The rest of your stuff looks pretty good too. I especially like the Blood Demon's leap sprites.

[Jimmy]

On the Gargoyle, I'm seeing the Wolf3D trooper in its face. Like, really vividly.

...Sorry. Have to say the Paladin is very impressive. Please keep it up!

[Gez]

Seriously, why the hell is a Cyborg Demon called the "Blood Demon," and not the one that actually resembles the name?

I blame Skulltag, Demon Eclipse, and KDIZD.

I'll defiantly find somewhere to use it.

You'll use it with defiance?

[Vader]

As I said before; nice work on the Paladin! For some reason I really like the shield/GL combo.
I'm always quite overloaded with Doom-related work, but if you're stuck with getting the "normal" death done, feel free to give me a call and I'll try to give it a shot... although it may take while!

The leap-attack of the Blood Demon or whatever you want it to call also looks interesting. I always wanted to make proper sprites for the animation, but never got around actually doing it.
Btw, Gez is right about the origin of the name... In the early days of KDiZD we used the St Blood demon wich was just a stronger dark-red recolor of the normal Demon, but eventually Neoworm provided a new sprite-set and although it now looked like a cyber version of the Demon, we decided to stick with the original name.
In a similar move, we replaced the (pretty awful) sprites of the Mauler demon (originally found in the Monster Resource Wad) with the ones from the Blood Fiend from Demon Eclipse, but kept the name!

Thanks. Had been thinking that a leap attack would be appropriate for the "upgraded" Demon, being a melee enemy and all.

On the Gargoyle, I'm seeing the Wolf3D trooper in its face. Like, really vividly.

...Not sure how you're seeing that, but might just be me. Then again my Wolf3D-fu is quite weak.

Thanks~

Would anyone use it any other way?

~The more you know~

And the comment made me go dig up the old monster resource wad just to have a look at what came up back then... Man, the standards have changed, heh. Though I suppose the leap sprites make for a more sensible version of the Mauler Demon's ranged attack, in a way. Never cared for the BOGEYMAN'S COMIN' TO GET YOU attack of the original.

Yeah, the grenade launcher/shield thing actually worked out nicely. Weirdly intuitive combo.

I'll bang my head against the death anims some more, but if I give up, I'll just post whatever I have done in this thread and let you or anyone else who feels up to it have at it.

[StrangeEnigma]

The "Phantom" is just the original beta version of the Lost Soul from DOOM. You didn't even edit it.

[wildweasel]

The "Phantom" is just the original beta version of the Lost Soul from DOOM. You didn't even edit it.

Having read his description of it, he doesn't claim it to be anything more than that.

[Finalizer]

Even so, I've modified the description a bit to hopefully make it more clear that it's purely a behavior modification of the PR Lost Soul. Though now it has GLDefs and brightmaps, so there's that. I've also chucked in a bunch of random brightmaps I've generated for some other monsters.

[Ethril]

Blood Demon leap attack

Alternately:
"Blood Demon hump attack"

(I'm sure it looks significantly more like a leap when actually in motion and not repeated like in the image.)

[Finalizer]

Ayyy, only a little over two years since I've updated this topic.

Added a Bolt-Action Rifle; based on the Doom alpha rifle sprites with a straight-pull bolt action added. It was inspired by the rifle from ZDCMP2, and my own desire for a centered, scope-less bolt-action rifle. Just don't ask me where the cartridges are ejected from, ehehe~

Could use a hand on crediting some stuff though - Bolt sourced from this sprite, sounds ripped from ZDCMP2; if anyone knows the original sources for the sprite and sounds, lemme know so I can update the credits.

[Finalizer]

So I finally got around to finishing the Paladin's normal death animations, for anyone who still cares. Better late than never, I suppose. Special thanks to HorrorMovieGuy, whose bloodless Baron death sprites were handy for editing some of the frames. Also did a little fix on the Dark Imp one-armed attack animations; I forgot to add his spinal spikes to the rear-facing sprites.

[Vader]

Slight bump, but I wanted to say that I'm really happy with the 'normal' death of the Paladin... looks cool
I'm propably going to use this monster in a project of mine (with slight edits maybe), hope that's ok.

By all means, I'm looking forward to seeing him show up in other projects.

Updates:

-Tweaked the Paladin's GLDefs slightly, and added some extra brightmaps for his normal death (not a huge deal, but may as well perfect the damn thing)
-Added Satyr leap/tackle/hump animations, and threw in David G's gib & alt death animations as well.
-Added Soul Harvester sans spikes. I wanted to distance him slightly from his Imp basis, and this makes him look a little lankier and more pathetic, which I find suiting for him. Includes updated GLDefs which also give him obnoxious glowing red eyes~
-Added ZSec gib animations. Only for the assault rifle variant atm, though the only thing that'd need to be done for the alts is to swap the weapon on the first frame. Hey Ghastly, I finally got around to doing it myself, heh.

[DoomKrakken]

Finally, I found it! Must use that paladin in my mod!
