[Beta] Contra Doom b06 - Wanted: Player skins

[YukesVonFaust]

Hey, beed, Check your inbox. the contra III sounds are available to download.

[RikohZX]

I'm not sure if I need permission to do these first...

I imagine that so long as you're not literally repacking map packs with the patches applied, and more like the Final patches you included already, it's no problem at all. But I don't know too much about this stuff.

[Athel]

Aw man! I thought of this just yesterday! Heh. I'll give it a whirl

[RikohZX]

Experimenting past my usual set-up of Spread and Crusher helped me realize the Laser is really damn powerful too. Even the standard machinegun shot is effective if you're willing to chip away rather than blow away. I really love how this makes pretty much any means of combat viable, except maybe the Homing at certain times.

[Captain J]

oh boy, i still haven't played this mod yet. so i played, and it was really great retrospective!

btw, are you going to replace some of monster's death frames from terminus' another brilliant retrospecting mod about zapper and contra? i really dreaming for it.

[Beed28]

I might look into it at some point. But for now...

CHANGELOG:

---

b03
* Increased mass on flying monsters, both the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind, as well as both Revenant and Cyberdemon missiles.
* Invulnerability sphere replaced with Barrier that still gives you invincibility, but with a blue tint instead of an inverse monochrome display.
* Score penalty on death now scales with difficulty levels.
* Sounds changed to use ones from Contra III: The Alien Wars. (thanks, YukesVonFaust!)
* Optional music wad updated to support Ultimate Doom.

[Captain J]

now it become even more retrospective, nicely done! anyway, are you about to bring more of sprites and sounds from contra 3 to this mod? since it has some sounds and sprites for it as well.

Danke Schon, Beed!

Edit: also, can you make weapon sprites?
like this weapon that Bill Rizer's holding?

[Hetdegon]

Gave b03 a test run. Pretty good stuff. The penalty for dying is more notorious now, and the barrier is just right. It goes interestingly well with slaughtermaps or oblige-generated maps in "hordes" settings. It's funny how the Contra formula can work so well in a completely different medium.

I think it's pretty complete as a gameplay mod. Feels just right as it is now.

Here's a small sneak peak at what the future may hold...

some Contra: Hard Corps?

[Captain J]

Hope it has mike12's bits! But not a must, though.

[Beed28]

Both are incorrect, but nice guesses.

[Mav3rick]

I will guess is "H" homing missile??

[Captain J]

Both are incorrect, but nice guesses.

but it was not a guess, though. but i can see the homing missile icon is colored into blue. is this some kind of enhancement for each weapons?
