[WIP] The Space Pirate (WHERE'S MY UPDATE MARTY?, Pg 34)

[TheMightyHeracross]

but it uses different ammos at all; pistol uses "TSPPistolAmmo" and uzi uses "AmmoBoxAmmo" also they using a different icon sprites too. and if uzi uses same casing with pistol, why not sharing ammos with pistol then?

Just because the magazines are different doesn't mean the casings are.

[Captain J]

i consider about my guess was right, then. or, maybe pistol casing is on a charge for a minute because he's gonna add a new casing also magazine sprite in a future update, but i'm not pretty sure. we need to wait.

and i'm sorry for digging this mod or expect something realistic too much. but we needs to help him; it's on early alpha, though.

the only weird thing i can see is the fact that why do i need to "fire" again for the shotgun do the cocking animation? it should be shot auto cocking and back to action, in the actual state make the shotgun very unusable with many enemies on screen

[TheMightyHeracross]

I don't find the shotgun any less "usable", I just think you guys are too used to the original style. Although maybe it should be an optional patch.

[Captain J]

not me. i find out it was very decent also reasonable, though. either wildweasel's nazis too.

Took me a bit to get used to as well. At least you can use reload to check if it's pumped.

[Cardboard Marty]

It's that time again!...

The health bonus replacements seem to jump up and down, and not in a good way. This is because on the first and last frames (A and G), the offsets are (3, 11) instead of (3, 16), which is what every other frame has. I fixed this on my local copy.

For whatever reason, this doesn't happen on my end, so I never fixed it. However, I applied your offsets anyway. Thank you for the fix!

The SMG firing sound is far too beefy for what it is, just doesnt match. Plus the pump on the shotgun feels more just lathered on rather part of the wood grip.

Regarding the shotgun, you never know...It does belong to a pirate, after all (regardless of the fact that every shotgun on Phobos and Earth are exactly the same).

I agree completely. I've revised my edit and made it poppier and higher in timbre. Seems to match at least a little better.

Added and credited (I forgot to credit you before!) Thank you!

Pistol has a lot's of it, when i reload quickly after empty the clip, the firing sound suddenly blocked. also pistol shots can gibs zombieman class zombies. well, only once happend, but i don't know why.

Fixed the reload sound, and as far as the gibbing, that should be impossible, if it only happened once than I'm not too sure why it happened.

shotgun still has a vanilla accuracy; always goes width, not length.

Intentional behavior. Zeke used to have an alternate fire that gave it insane accuracy at the cost of double ammo. /vr/ thought that was boring, so I changed it, because I also thought it was boring! Different shell types will have different accuracy.

uzi is sure strong; it has 7 damage, full-auto, lot's of ammo spec and large-sized magazine can kill hellknight without took any damages. nerfing a damage should be works, though.

I've heard both sides to this. On one hand, you only have a max of 6 reloads at full ammo, AB-50 ammo will only drop from ammo boxes and uzi enemies in the future, and I've also heard it's underpowered as well. So...we'll leave it as is for awhile.

also it's using a empty pistol casing also clip. i hope you can add even more magazines also casings.

This will happen in the future!

EDIT: Since there's a "Character Bios" page, I'm assuming there's going to be multiple characters in the distant future?

Shh, don't tell anybody, but if you nose around in the .pk3, that question might be answered for ya.

I think, until we have another precision/damage gun, is good to have a sniper shotgun. And the really boom stick maybe gonna be the ssg.

SSG replacement will be the Crossbow, coming either next update or the one after.

maybe it was intensional.

It indeed was!

the only weird thing i can see is the fact that why do i need to "fire" again for the shotgun do the cocking animation? it should be shot auto cocking and back to action, in the actual state make the shotgun very unusable with many enemies on screen

I feel like the current behavior of the shotgun has been done in like...a ton of mods, but I won't use that to justify its behavior. I like click to pump because it feels more alive, and more reactive over all. But that's just me! It won't be changing anytime soon, sorry!

Upcoming Features!

• Version 0.1.2 tentatively titled "Smooth Criminal"! I'm smoothing out all the weapon animations with mods like Project MSX and Zero Tolerance in mind! Yeah!
• Possibly more zombies! WHO KNOWS?!
• BERSERKER RAGE!...what could that mean?
• Ammobox 50 alternate attack!
• The Crossbow!
• POSSIBLY a Rocket Launcher replacement...possibly...

Well then, with the permission of Marty, we now have an official channel.

Come join in on the ~fun~

And switching from duplicated frames to Offset? Just need to grab a beer, sit down, and log the pixels for each frame.

Could also use Zrrion's offset generator.

[Bitterman]

Zrrion's offset generator? What sort of magic is this?

I was really excited when Marrub mentioned and Offset Generator but this doesn't generate offsets like I thought it would (tweens), you still have to calculate how much it's offset and it puts it in Offset(x,y) format. What's the point?

[Marrub]

Please disreguard my skype chat.
Step 1: Get original offset

Step 2: Get a new offset

Step 3: Plug some numbers in, generate offsets

Oh okay. Yeah that's pretty useful.

Code: Select all

<TheMightyHeracross> marty you said you're keeping the shotgun as is and i agree with that but what about an optional mutator like SigFloyd does with Brutal Doom SE?
<Eric> mutators suck
<Eric> cvars strong
<TheMightyHeracross> yeah that is a better idea actually
<TheMightyHeracross> so marty how about you add a CVARINFO lump with this:
<TheMightyHeracross> user int shotgunstyle = 0;
<TheMightyHeracross> if it's 0 it oes manual pumping and if it's not 0 it does automatic pumping
<TheMightyHeracross> using A_JumpIf and ACS_(Named)Execute
<marrub> that ruins the fun though :(
<TheMightyHeracross> why
<marrub> manual pumping is fun
<TheMightyHeracross> but that's why it would be optional

So, what do you think about the CVAR idea? (I came up with the idea of it being choosable but the CVARs were Eric's idea)
EDIT:

Code: Select all

<marrub> why have it be an int
<marrub> why not user bool tsp_shotgunstyle = 0;

That's a better idea.
