High Noon Drifter v1.2 - Between God, the Devil, and a .500

[thedeathrunner123]

yup that fixed it.

[Enjay]

Sorry if this has already been mentioined, but I'm getting these messages spamming constantly when I play.



Just a few seconds of play generated an 18,000 line log file.

I have debug messages on, in case that's relevant.

[TerminusEst13]

Oops.

The short of the matter is that HND's ACS uses ye olde CheckInventory method to see if actors exist for Harmony iwad compatibility. It checks every tic, so it's going to spawn a looooot of those.
You'll likely want to turn off debug messages, I completely forgot those were a thing.
I can't remember if this was before CheckExists, well, existed. But if I do another update, I'll have to convert the ACS to use that.

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know!

I've tried making another compatibility patch, this time for City of the Damned 2, but I've run into a pretty big issue in the fact that you can't switch weapons, which I'm guessing has something to do with this part of the level's ACS:

Is there anything I can do about this?

You guys, it wasn't ACS at all. It was keyconf. So here it is.

I tested some of it and got stuck, so I'm planning to watch a walkthrough on Youtube and then try again.

I've managed to beat the map with all secrets, but as for kills and items I'm not even sure if that was even possible in the original. The biggest issue I had was the keys only being visible on the alternative hud, so I guess I'll have to copy and edit HND's sbarinfo into the patch, unless there's a better way of handling things that I'm hilariously oblivious to? I'm also considering making ammo/weapon drops from the cultists more common.

Whenever I play the wad in Doom or Doom 2, I get a message saying "No player classes defined".
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Download the latest GZDoom.

So I saw people talking about Strife support

SOLVED

Hello ! I have tried to use HND with Pirate Doom + the compatibility patch and I got this error :

I tried different load order with the same result. Any idea that could help ?

[SiFi270]

What version of GZDoom are you using?

[Ardeshir]

The last one I think, 3.7. I tried with the 3.6 I still had on my hard drive and got the same problem, maybe an even earlier version could help ?

The load order should be:
1 - HighNoonDrifter-v1.2c.pk3
2 - Pirates!.wad
3 - HighSeasDrifter.wad
Redownload all files and retry. Tried just now and it works fine with all mentioned versions of gzdoom.

Ah, I found the problem : I was using Doom Launcher as a front-end, but apparently, even if the files menu claim to let you choose the load order, it doesn't seem to change anything in the final command it sends to GZDoom and always loaded the files in the same order no matter what I was doing in the GUI. Using a shortcut to GZdoom with the "-file" command line option solved the problem, thanks a lot !

As a word of advice, I'd recommend using ZDL. It's better than making a special shortcut for every single mod load order you end up with, particularly if you have to use an old version of GZDoom or something.
