The Guncaster - 3.888b

Picking up the book give you the base vergion of the spell. if you want the boosted effect. you need to use a power-up called a "arcane amplifier" i belive, arch-viles usualy drop them naturaly.

Now asumeing if you have gc-addon. there is another way to get boosted spells. you know when you see it.

[DoomKrakken]

Does anybody know how to use the tomed versions of spells? For example, I want to use the time-stopping ability of the Threadcutter but even after I picked up a tome in the wilderness, I haven't been able to figure out how to use it

If playing Doom or Strife (I think), you'll need to use an Ancient Amplifier. If Heretic or Hexen, a Tome Of Power.

Both items function identically. You'll have to scroll through your inventory (or toggle the quick-use keybind) to consume the item.

That item will boost stuff to some extent, but even the Tome Of Power/Ancient Amplifier has an effect on those. For example, you still cannot stop time while deploying Threadcutter without the amplification effect from the Tome/Amplifier.

I'd like to thank you guys for clearing up on the enhanced spell guide!

Also, I've completed Guncaster on Doom, Doom II and Heretic

What would be the storyline finale for Cygnis' adventures through the Doom Engine-verses? Strife, after Hexen?

Hmmm... I Seem to be having trouble using Guncaster on the current build of GZDoom. Got a VM_Abort when going into the mod options menu. Integer division by zero apparently. I'm pretty sure I had the mod and the Addon loaded in the correct order, too.

Now that I look at it, Both RO and GC seem to trigger an Abort with their menus. I think it's related to how tooltips are handled. Although I am aware that the former mod is no longer being worked on for reasons that I greatly respect, but I wonder about the possibilities of allowing users to make slight alterations to your mods in order to patch these issues that may or may not be worth addressing.

[Lazlo74]

Also playing Strife right now
Are there any voiced cutscenes?

[fakemai]

I don't think the mod is discontinued, you'll just have to ask the author elsewhere, probably Discord. I know he's on Twitter as well but he doesn't have DMs enabled there. Anyway I'll at least confirm that particular glitch but also that it's sporadic, so try the menus a few times. I wouldn't rule out a bug in GZDoom, maybe see if you can pin down where it started?

As for Strife, Cyggie does not speak but the NPCs are supposed to. You're missing VOICES.WAD if they aren't so reinstall Strife for that.

If you are holding the fire button down with the matriarch and you pick up an extremesphere you get a VM abort.

[JohnEldridge]

Can anybody tell me how do you get the shoulder cannons for the powersuit and what button to enable it?

Can anybody tell me how do you get the shoulder cannons for the powersuit and what button to enable it?

Press "R" (By default) to enable/disable the shoulder missile racks while standing still when you have both Deadmaker mask and the power suit activated.
It's just as same as how you activate the power blasters from the power suit.

Don't know what's causing this bug exactly but I am experiencing when trying to void walk, how to fix?

VM execution aborted: tried to read from address zero.

It seems to fix itself going to the next level, shouldn't be doing this regardless.

Question... why does the propane tank have the KEEPDEPLETED flag in the first place? Moreover, why is it removed for Heretic and Hexen?

That damn item keeps getting in the way when scrolling through my inventory, so now I don't even opt to pick it up anymore.

[Rowsol]

Newest version with the menu crash bug 'fixed'. (no tips anymore)

Speaking of Propane tank, I cannot even use them from inventory anymore.
Edit : I found Instant toss actually works but doesn't throw it if that option is turned off.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue and/or how to fix it? I'm running the most recent version of gzdoom that isn't a dev version, with just the guncaster mod and the doom2 iwad, and then it crashes midway through loading. I even tried downgrading down some versions, but it didn't seem to change anything.
Here's the log from the crash

Edit: Neverind, I just didn't downgrade back far enough lmfao

It's related to this so for now the option is using an older GZDoom. (EDIT2: Not recommended, see follow-up) It's probably a similar fix to the mod as to Gearbox though, or at least I think it's just assigning a null texture in all those errors. Finally the mod is still being worked on so maybe it'll see an update in future, you may have to check elsewhere about that though.
EDIT: A couple of typecasts too. It seems easy enough to fix the mod but I'd rather someone competent looked into it.
