ARACNOCIDE 2.8 (Updated 06/AUG/24)

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Hey dude great mod. I found a bug. If you play this mod with the Hell from Earth - "Frank Castle simulator" mod the hockey mask is bugged.

The sprite itself or the entire powerup?

The entire powerup. It becomes a invisible wall.

One of my friends brought this up yesterday too. Looks like something on Hell From Earth's side rather than Aracnocide, since HFE replaces the invulnerability sphere with a different actor. You should probably report this in HFE's thread instead.

What happens if you change the loading order?

Oh, ok.

Have you considered implementing reload-cancelling for single-loaded guns?

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

So, i'll be needed for a business trip and i'll be out of the modding zone for two weeks.

In the meantime, i'll upload this quick build which fixes 99% of the bugs CaptainJ has submitted and a few more! This includes the ability to reload-cancel weapons either by quick-melee (it was already possible) or by shooting, which not all guns had. It also fixes many graphical inconsistencies that gone under the radar, so check out the changelog:

Thanks for all your hard work with this updated. Hope you enjoy your time with your business trip! Here's a short video of my experiences with it.

I didn't noticed that "Aracnocide 2" is out already, so... I decided to give it some spin tonight!
Overall, this is really nice update in a way of style, sprites, sounds and etc.
I mean... I even noticed few things that wasn't in the previous "Aracnocide"!
If you are interested and have some mood with free time, you can check out these reports below.
I've used wild combinations with various favorite enemy packs that I love very much.

The new update its excellent
Although it would be cooler of Mikhail had another Russian/Soviet themed weapon replacing the MG92

Perhaps a PK, PKP Pecheneg, RPD, hell even a NSV Utes or a KORD machine gun
Don't get me wrong, the MG92 kinda seems out of place for his character setting

When using this mod with the Universal Gibs mod which is found here: viewtopic.php?t=59260, the left weapon of the Luc Willaims' Dual KM865s gets replaced by an image of one of the "Universal Gib Piles".

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. The MG92 is more of an easter egg rather than a linear decision: It's meant to be the same MG92 from another mod I've created, Kriegsland. The new bow sprites for Derrick are also a reference to another of my mods: Nightmare Logic.

I knew it would happen, after all the game has 172 weapons. I can't change the naming pattern, unfortunately. It has a system that is used in all weapons throughout the game. Best one could do is to patch the Universal Gibs itself.

This mod is great; how sensitive of me (maybe overreact with these crawlers).
