D4DHF v0.3 - "Cloak and Dagger" [Add-On]

[Valherran]

Gonna try this out when it comes. I've beaten D4D on all difficulties, and even trashed sunder.wad, so hopefully this will provide more challenge. heh

[Exeor]

Ah, I love when Doom 3 stuff meets DOOM 2016, Really waiting for the release!

I wonder if anyone will make the Maggot fully coded with sprites someday, it feels weird seeing Imps and Wraiths but not Maggots.

Anyway take your time with the upload!

Version 0.1 is up. I snuck in another upgrade, check the last screenshot.

Agony Elemental
Main Species: Pain Elemental
- Boss type. Expect to run into these sometimes instead of cyberdemons or spider masterminds.
- This behemoth shoots fireballs, but it can also create pain elementals and lost souls.
- Glad I could give you a new use for that BFG, bro.
- Goes out in a literal ring of fireballs. Don't stand too close when you kill this guy.

Wait, why there is a DoomRLA Monster (The Agony Elemental) doing here in your addon, you better credit Onslaught Six and Jaws45, the guys who made the agony elemental

[VICE]

Done. I knew I forgot something.

Here's a list of things I may consider porting into D4D personally. Maybe. At least, for certain, if I do decide porting some things in officially, it'd be the following:

• Voxel glows
• Doom Doll icons
• Nightmare Grenades
• Trippin' Fatcubus skins (Acid Asshole! )
• (Maybe) The new pistol lance

The rest of them I feel are right at home here as an addon.

Oh, one more thing. Megaherz, as you may or may not have noticed from the announcements here in the ZDoom forums, the day will come when ZScript arrives... Eventually. And D4D is already converted to using ZScript itself. But you can expect the next release, if it's not a bug fix, to be completely zscript. There's not a shred of Decorate left 'xept for the global damagetypes.

That means in order for your addon to work whenever it does come out, your mod will also need to port over due to all the changes.

Don't worry. It won't be for a good long while though. We're all exhausted still from working our asses off. (This also means the HoE starter pack is being FURTHER delayed as I'm helping ZScript along with the testing. Sorry. ) And I'm just investing a ton of time playing Shadow Warrior 2, trading off in between every half a day.

So, this is just a little heads up. Still, I appreciate the contribution of an addon!

Whoa, this is pretty cool! I loved the upgrade mechanics.

Coincidentally, the version I'm cooking here have 1 thing in common with yours (better not spoil it yet), but they will act totally different anyway, even because yours is pretty much cooler!

Bug report: You can't chainsaw alt-fire the new Mancubi.

I guess I'll start looking into that when the new version comes out. I understand ZScript isn't dramatically different so I have the impression that porting stuff over won't be too hard. Most of this addon is done by redefining and splicing code anyway, I can just splice it again as I learn to use ZScript.

Now I'm curious.
Btw, I plan on using an edited version of your gore nest sprites. I'm working on making the player activate it with an animation like a glory kill.

Bug report: You can't chainsaw alt-fire the new Mancubi.

I can't confirm this on either the new poison type or the new ballistic guy.
You need 4 fuel units to do this - are you sure you had enough when you tried?

I got full upgrades that require tokens but now I have 12 tokens that I cant do nothing with

[Tapwave]

Don't worry about that, original DOOM4 does the same thing. I finished it 100% and I had about ten or so unspent tokens after getting the IDKFA achievement.

yeah but it could be good idea to make those tokens used like adding new upgrade that is 1% more ammo capacity for each token you use

That'd be nice, I would be upping my ammo capacity for shells first and foremost (can never hold enough).

[-Ghost-]

Yeah, an ammo cap upgrade to go alongside the armor/health ones would be a nice addition.

Here's a preview of gore nests coming up in the next version.

Gore nest accompanied by a random number of "unwilling" worshipers (Based on Horror Movie Guy's Zombie Fodder and converted with D4D features).

---

And looks like that skull key is stuck in there...

---

Oh well, nothing a little elbow grease can't fix...

---

Oh shit oh shit oh shit...

---

That's not how all gore nests will work, some of them will be empty. Sometimes however, a skull key might spawn into the level with a nest around it, and when that heppens you'll have to pry the key out to proceed.

Here's the changelog so far:
