Lithium 1.7.0 Beta (Apr. 17, 2022)

[Zeffies]

Hi, this mod is really cool but I'm having an issue with multiplayer. It seems if one of us chooses Cybermage, after respawning we can't shoot anymore. Marine works fine, though. We would play only marines, but for some reason our class appears to be random, but that was happening with another mod so that's probably to do with how we're running them.

I was running the latest version with Maps of Chaos, and when I bought the revolver I got the line

ACS: I don't know what Former Sargeant Lv 13 is.

I couldn't select the revolver and the option to buy it was greyed out.

Make sure Maps of Chaos is loaded before Lithium. If the problem persists, it might be fixed in 1.6, since I fixed some weirdness with cross-module initialization.

Fixed, and I fixed some other weird MP bugs. And yeah, add +playerclass Marine or +playerclass Cyber-Mage to the command line to select your class non-randomly.

Oh wow, that was super fast! Thanks!

Using the "zoom in" function or the "modal rifle" upgrade causes the zoomed-in portion of the screen to zoom to the point of absurdity, filling the entire window with a single color.

I just played Mutiny.wad with Lithium, using the Cybermage class.

Great mod. If you ever intend to update it, I have a suggestion :
You could try to use a separate key for the spell wheel, and then use the melee key as a "quick spell" button that would send for example two Delear, or one Feuer, or three Blade, maybe with a left hand animation if it is not too hard to do.

I think it would help making the Cybermage gameplay more dynamic

Sounds like a GZDoom bug, there's not really anything that would cause that to happen and I've never had it happen.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would be too difficult to implement, unfortunately.

It does appear to specifically be on the unstable builds of GZDoom--stable build works just fine, so I'll keep that in mind. I'm just used to mods relying on the unstable build, but I guess by the very nature of what an unstable build is, I'll keep my mouth shut unless it also happens on the stable version.

I also really dig the Cyber Mage's spell effects.

[Ikazu-san]

Oooh, can't wait until powerleveling is allowed again. I'm back with more reports.
Extra upgrades are inaccessible for Cybermage due to lack of RDI. Should it say something like "Requires ??? spell driver" instead?
I don't know makes corpses do that.
Seeker Rounds are misbehaving.
Speaking of misbehaving seekers, Star Destroyer. The problem this time is not targeting speed, but targeting priority. It never wants to lock onto Phantom in front of me and instead says hi to imp in the opposite direction. Can it be taught to aim closest enemy to where it's already going?

Eh? He should get it, it's the same for every class. I recall having a weird issue with this earlier, so I'll have to go look into it.

I don't know makes corpses do that.

It seems to be a savegame bug out of my control, someone else also reported that to no avail.

Seeker Rounds are misbehaving.

Holy shit, how did I not notice that? I forgot to set the width/height of them, so they're about as big as a zombie. Fixed.

I wish, but seeker missiles are kinda really hardcoded.

So, I've been having an issue actually even playing the game. The weapons fire and I can switch between them but they're not at all visible to me, and I can't move my mouse in the upgrade screen. These error messages also show up in the console if it helps.

Those error messages are map errors. as for the weapons, are you sure you're playing on the latest version of gzdoom?

Yes, I've tried it out on both the bleeding edge GZDoom builds and the latest stable build. Also, the errors appear before I even load into a map which is confusing.

EDIT: I logged the wrong messages.. whoops. Here are some more pertinent logs.

Loving the Circe de la Morte. One thought on it; since it's the same method as the Finalizer, could it too disintegrate enemies it kills? I think that would just be the icing on the cake.

Loving the Circe de la Morte. One thought on it; since it's the same method as the Finalizer, could it too disintegrate enemies it kills? I think that would just be the icing on the cake.

It should, the original design was a circle on the player's screen which removed enemies in it, but doing stuff like that without ZScript is really too tricky. The only reason it works for Finalizer is because it can directly give the thing it's hitting an item, with Cercle de la Mort it's a lot harder because there's a few hundred projectiles, heh.

So, I've been having an issue actually even playing the game. The weapons fire and I can switch between them but they're not at all visible to me, and I can't move my mouse in the upgrade screen.

That's weird. Could you type these things into the console and tell me what it prints?
