[WIP][Enhancer Mod] 64k + [1.2] we got a lot of stuff going on under the hood. updated 7/24

To me, it really is not an important feature.

[zrrion the insect]

That sure is a helpful addition to the thread.
It is a feature that fits within the scope of the project, was not hard to implement, and does not change game-play so why not add it?

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Sorry.

Do you think you could make a screenshot or a GIF of the effects in question? Maybe that could help give us ideas of suggestions.

[Captain J]

I'm currently working on a feature that lets the player select from a few different teleportfog variants in case they like them better/the teleportfog looks better in the level you're playing. I currently have the default doom one, archvile fire, and a blood-cloud thing. What other variants would people like to see in the mod?

Flickering lights. Just plain green, white or blue lights. I'd like to see that kind of telefog!

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I noticed Doomguy only uses his right fist to punch when the Fists are selected. As for the impact sound, why not just use the default one?

Also, I see Lost Souls bleed when hit. Not sure it really makes sense, since they are basically flaming skulls: where is the blood coming from?

[Someone64]

Smoke puffs outwards, colored sparkles, short last red pulsing pentagram under the teleported object would make good teleport effects.

While working on the teleportfog feature I started messing with sprites for, well:


And we have a thing of beauty here. I've been wanting to add this for a while, and have had an idea of what I wanted to do for a while, but without the sprites I wasn't going anywhere with the idea. I have sprites now and so away we go. It functions pretty much the way it did in Doom64 Runes and all, and has a slight chance to spawn in instead of the BFG. If you have an unmaker already, there will be a chance for a rune you don't have to spawn in. I haven't tested it much so it is probably broken in some way but whatever. I am so relieved to finally be crossing this off of my to-do list.

Expect this, and the teleport stuff to make it into the next update whenever they are finished.

That is a very nice looking Unmaker.

[Captain J]

Zrrion made this recently. And yes, this unmaker is top of the hellish world.

[ThrashfanBert1994]

Well the metadoom one is called reaper lol

[Captain J]

We are talking about the D64 one, in this mod here. Not Kinsie's.

Took inspiration from this texture from the press-release beta, I assume?

[zrrion the insect]

That very texture, yes!

I've been toying around with the mod for a while, and once I fix the last few errors (and add a few more teleport variants) I'll shove the next version out the door. The major thing in the next release will be the unmaker, but there will be some new sprites and some new behavioural changes as well.

A thing I might want to tackle after that is Doom's damage randomization. I'd like to make it a bit less random with a small chance for high damage, as opposed to equal chance for low, medium, and high damage. Idk how well this will go and it might fizzle out in the end but it is on the table ATM. Feedback/ideas/whatever going forward would be wonderful.

[Someone64]

Would it be possible to adjust damage based on how centered your shot is? Around the middle would be a consistent 140+% damage and hitting the edge can go as low as 65% or something along those lines. The randomisation factor here would be the weapon accuracy instead since that will affect how centered your shots are. You could use shotguns to run up to enemies and do a devastating all pellets centered shot or do the same with other inaccurate weapons but if you fire haphazardly it might take considerably longer to kill bigger targets.

0.4 is live!

• Unmaker is in.
• Teleport fog can be changed to one of a few varieties
• misc tweaks under the hood
• IIRC the SG and SSG have had some sprite changes
• cool new chaingun sprites

That's all we really have this update. The unmaker is cool though, so grab yourself a copy of the mod and g unmake some demons.
