Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
Important Update:
So, I've been playing this mod again lately, accompanied by various monster mods (including the excellent Doosk Standalone Monsters pack and Yholl's also excellent Rampancy), and got to thinking, the way I've had the ammo pickups split between weapons (where they didn't used to be split in vanilla) made it so you got a lot of "dud" ammo pickups that had no weapons to go to them. With the help of Major Cooke, this is now a thing of the past.
Now, Revolver ammo and BFG cells will not spawn in maps unless there is either a player in game carrying a Revolver or a BFG, or such a weapon exists in the current level. Additionally, there is a small chance for a pistol clip to randomly be either a Revolver or a second Pistol; if a Revolver already exists, the chance to drop a Revolver is lower.
Anyway I think I cleared up all the confusion about what things are considered pickups and what thing shouldn't be dropped, so those changes - again thanks to Major Cooke - are now live on the Github repo. https://github.com/wildweasel486/ww-doomnukem

Glad to help!

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
Powerful weapon ammo would not spawn unless the player has weapons that use such ammo... That's actually a good solution! Never thought of this until now, actually. Thanks for the hot update with the help of Cooke.

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
Glad to see this getting some attention! I suppose now that this is in (at least semi) active development again, I'd like to share a few thoughts I've had on balance/QoL I've had over the years. For one, I feel like the AR is kind of anemic, especially for the amount of ammo it ends up with, and the lower mag pools for the revolver and Marstons tend to fail me against larger mobs of hitscanners where the vanilla chaingun would do in a pinch. Another thing with the AR is that the barrel smoke has a habit of obscuring my vision when firing. Also, it seems like regular pinkies no longer spawn bloodpuffs, which is particularly noticeable when using an addon gore mod. Beyond that, this is still one of my favourite gameplay mods, thanks for giving it some touch ups!

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
I've just pushed an update that overhauls the AR's behavior entirely, as well as bumping its damage values up a bit. Primary fire behaves as it did, but with damage values raised from 4 to 6 per shot (for real this time!), and its recoil now also jostles the weapon side-to-side. While zoomed in, the initial pull of the trigger now fires a super fast 3-round hyperburst that deals 8(1d3) damage per bullet, and if the trigger is held past then, it continues firing full-auto at a slower rate for 6(1d3) damage per bullet.Sascha_Fool wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 5:53 pm Glad to see this getting some attention!

I'm not entirely sure what I should do to address this; raising the mag sizes is more or less out of the question, though, since the present reload system means that will also increase the ammo drop amounts.and the lower mag pools for the revolver and Marstons tend to fail me against larger mobs of hitscanners where the vanilla chaingun would do in a pinch.
Perhaps I ought to look into that later.Another thing with the AR is that the barrel smoke has a habit of obscuring my vision when firing.
I'll look into the pinkies issue shortly. [edit] Pinky blood is now fixed. Forgot to comment out one line while I was dummying out Droplets.Also, it seems like regular pinkies no longer spawn bloodpuffs, which is particularly noticeable when using an addon gore mod. Beyond that, this is still one of my favourite gameplay mods, thanks for giving it some touch ups!
Thank you for the feedback, and I'm glad you're enjoying yourself this many years later.

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
That AR buff definitely helps! Especially with the zoom-burst, it's way easier to manage crowds of zombies~
Also, I should've probably done some proper testing earlier, found that the hell knight, baron and caco also forgot to bring blood to the party (the ranch dip is accounted for now at least ;p)

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
I tried the zoom burst with the AR and I really like it. The only thing that feels off to me about it is that if you continue to hold down the fire button after the burst it just fires off one shots. It feels like it should fire nothing but bursts when aiming down the sights but that's probably just me.

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
This is intentional, both for sake of keeping the recoil under control and for giving you a reason to still sometimes use the weapon without aiming.

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
I guess I've been going wild with the "easily correctable quality of life" changes to the mod lately, as over the last night, I did these things:
- Added +FORCEXYBILLBOARD on as many smoke effects as I remembered existed.
- Added player footsteps - and they check if you're on the ground. They're cheap and lazy but they check if you're on the ground.
- The sledgehammer now has a (small) radius damage effect if you hit floors or walls with it, which should in theory make it easier to hit small melee monsters with it, like xim's doom 3 trites, or rampancy's spider drones. This radius damage has a wider effect under berserk. I have not tested the damage values of this yet.
- I forgot to say this when I did it but the remaining "squirt" effects from Droplets have been commented out, so big monsters should now actually bleed normal blood again.
- I also added missing decals to the Hazard Troops' plasma, and made them explode into barrel debris so their deaths don't just make them vanish.

Holy cow! This mod is hiding in plain sight!
Best weapon mod out there, in general, by a wide margin. You're right: this IS the way to make guns feel good.
Never playing DOOM again without it. Latest GitHub build works with GZDoom 4.10.0 flawlessly.

Re: Accessories to Murder (ww-doomnukem): on Github
hey i've been playing your mod again as well, it's still holds up incredibly . i remember however coming out i didn't like the monsters. But now i just removed them and replaced them by the voxel enemies now.
The gunplay is still awesome and everything just feels neat and tight.
