[WIP] Zombie's Mod - Beta 3 Prerelease 2 pg.4!

[zrrion the insect]

I have to say, this mod looks quite interesting. I shall give it a look later and probably praise all of it.

[Captain J]

gravity gun will does the more fun also adding a physical...fun on your wad, also every guns but some weapons that uses projectile or melee is out of accurate litle bit, even pistol and shotgun. which means i need to go more closer and shoot 'em for making a good accuracy shots.

also chaingun uses shotgun firing sound like a what heavy weapon dudes did, with shotgun's pumping sound. separation of that sound is needed. oh wait, eriance already did that, though.

and lastly, chainsaw's raise sound is suddenly blocked by idle sound. without that, it's amazingly great and fun wad to play. nice job.

I await your review

also every guns but some weapons that uses projectile or melee is out of accurate litle bit, even pistol and shotgun. which means i need to go more closer and shoot 'em for making a good accuracy shots.

Yeah, that's because I added vertical offsets for the hitscans. I should probably lower them to around half their current values.

also chaingun uses shotgun firing sound like a what heavy weapon dudes did, with shotgun's pumping sound. separation of that sound is needed. oh wait, eriance already did that, though.

Yeah, I was gonna cut up the sound but I forgot to, and I don't really use the chaingun much so there wasn't much of a reminder

and lastly, chainsaw's raise sound is suddenly blocked by idle sound

It is in Vanilla Doom as well afaik

without that, it's amazingly great and fun wad to play. nice job.

Thanks!

looks likely from Half life 2 but a middle base gravity gun. nice job and keep it up the good work.

but that idle sound blocks it much faster then i expected, so here's the example why;

It's because the weapon selection animation is much faster, so the selection sound gets cut off quicker.

Also, new gravity gun sprites, courtesy of Sgt. Shivers
That current set is already outdated though, I've since lowered the glow animation to three frames, and added an interpolation frame for the glow so it doesn't appear to just "be there".

[Captain J]

then do you have any minds to fix that up? or just keep it down?

[The Zombie Killer]

Not sure yet, I might either make the selection animation longer, or have a proper animation where you actually pull the cord to turn on the chainsaw.

[Crudux Cruo]

Could you tell me anything I could do to improve them?

Beautiful doom compatibility, namely weapons; ideally that's how i'd like the weapons to work. also good to meet another bloodite

[The Zombie Killer]

BEHOLD!
I have the gravity gun working. It's a little buggy, and the code is far from final. It will work differently in the release version of beta 3 than it does in this pre-release.
By default, you start with the gravity gun. It occupies slot 8.

great going so far, but i found something that smells glitches. again;

-i saw down the spawned doomplayers, helper keeps attacking his sawed torso, even he's already dead.

-if helper died, he respawns awkwardly; teleport effect just sparkles so slowly without any sounds and does nothing.

-good work about separating shotgun's sound, but the sound ends unnaturally now. so how about use this one?;

from eriguns of course.zip

-i hope gravity gun has a more additional sounds, like a what original half life 2 did. such as dryfire sound and successful grab sound.

-still bfg9000 has a no smooth animations to compared with other weaponries, also bfg splashes can effect on the corpses too. intensional behavior?

-when zombieman encounters me, they chases me for a little bit and fires bullet and repeat it forever. even i hide myself from them, and now they are good at causes the infights now.

-when i grabbed monsters with gravity gun, they starts to attack me. pretty obvoius, if they never attack me while turned back.

lastly, i think gravity gun needs to be grab something slowly. when i grab something, it appears with speed of light.

i hope these feedbacks were useful, good luck!

if helper died, he respawns awkwardly; teleport effect just sparkles so slowly without any sounds and does nothing.

Both of these things were noticed and fixed pretty much straight after I released that test version.

i hope gravity gun has a more additional sounds, like a what original half life 2 did.

Yep, it'll have the full sound set for the regular HL2 gravity gun.

still bfg9000 has a no smooth animations to compared with other weaponries

I'm planning on adding some

also bfg splashes can effect on the corpses too. intensional behavior?

No, this isn't intentional. I'll see if I can fix it.

when zombieman encounters me, they chases me for a little bit and fires bullet and repeat it forever. even i hide myself from them, and now they are good at causes the infights now.

Yeah, I've noticed this bug, and I've tried to fix it, but nothing I try seems to work.

when i grabbed monsters with gravity gun, they starts to attack me. pretty obvoius, if they never attack me while turned back.

That's one of the reasons the gravity gun is unfinished, when it's done, you won't be able to grab monsters while they are alive.

lastly, i think gravity gun needs to be grab something slowly. when i grab something, it appears with speed of light.

That's another reason it's unfinished, I have the code to make it move towards you, I just haven't implemented it yet.

[Captain J]

well, that was pretty fast. also not to mention, this mod have a repolished mancubus' death and pain elemental's pain sounds and etc. that's pretty good job!

Yep, that's part of Perkristian's hires sound fx wad.
