Dusted's Pandemonia is a gameplay overhaul mod that heavily relies on progression. Fight new enemies, get better equipment, and take on unimaginable foes.
Heavily inspired by older randomizer mods, the goal of Pandemonia is to offer a hectic gameplay experience while also providing a good sense of balance and progression. A controlled chaos, if you will.
Credits are included in the pk3 in a conveniently named CREDITS file.

Spoiler: Addons
Included in the downloads folder Requires Pandemonia: Anarchy Weapon Module!
Load order is:
- Pandemonia
- Anarchy (weapons file)
- Insurrection
Complete overhaul of the weapon system; Instead of sidegrades, you can augment your weapons with various augments scattered in secrets or dropped from enemies.
Insurrection lets you build your weapons how you want, it is your decision on what augment combinations work best. Strength augments will increase damage. Precision augments will decrease hitscan or projectile spread, and increase projectile speed. Haste augments will increase the overall speed of your weapon; firing, switching, and reloading are all effected. Capacity augments increase the ammo capacity of your weapon's ammo type. Reloadable weapons will have increased clip size. Blast augments can have two functions: Add blast damage to a non-explosive weapon, or increase the splash radius of an explosive weapon. Weapons that are already explosive will bypass splash damage resistance on bosses. Flame augments allow weapons to spawn fire. Explosive weapons will have a greater effect. Non-orange colored fire will bypass splash damage resistance! Chaos augments make impacts spawn seeking Chaos projectiles. More effective on high damage weapons. Not compatible with BFGs. Superior augments require a weapon to be fully augmented with 5 augments. Can do various different functions depending on the weapon; each weapon has a unique superior augment function. Not compatible with durability weapons or weapons that have been formatted to have more augment slots. Formatters add more augment slots to a weapon. First two uses add two slots, the third use adds one slot.
Regular weapons start at 5 maximum augments, and Durability weapons start at 3. Arcane Remnants are only compatible with Arcane weapons. Like Superior augments, they provide a unique upgrade depending on the weapon. To make it even better, these do not take up normal augment slots!
Comes with a configurable weapon limit system. By default, having over 7 total weapons will make you move a bit slower, and having over 10 will make you move extremely slow.
Comes with two modules!
Included in the downloads folder
An addon that adds things I consider unbalanced, experimental, or things that would bloat the base mod.
The Weapon module includes new weapons and powerups, including things such as the Quad Shotgun.
The Monster module includes new enemies, and will be compatible with the "monsters only" version of Pandemonia.
Pandemonia: Renovation Included in the downloads folder
A decoration pack, will replace various object and decorations in maps with special ones. Will be customizable in the case of wads having their own custom decor or they replace certain decor actors in Dehacked. Includes the PBR Liquids addon.
Pandemonic Ascension Included in the downloads folder Requires Pandemonia: Insurrection!
A very difficult challenge map tailored around Pandemonia: Insurrection. Plays very similarly to Call Of Duty Zombies, points system and all. Is based off of the custom Zombies map, Octogonal Ascension.
Pandemonia: Insurrection - Gunlocker
by VisceralCXXIII
Want more guns? This addon contains additional weapons for Pandemonia: Insurrection!
Load order is the same as with Insurrection, just put this mod at the very end.
Corruption Cards Patch Included in the downloads folder
Patch for Corruption Cards that adds a few new cards and fixes some incompatibilities.
PBR Liquids
Is now included in Pandemonia: Renovation, but will still be left here as a standalone mod.
Replaces vanilla Doom liquid flats with smoothly animated PBR textures; shoot something with dynamic lights over it, and gaze in awe!
This should be compatible with pretty much everything, even without Pandemonia.
ZPack Patch
Allows Pandemonia to be played with the ZPack mapset.
A strict load order is required to run this properly:
Pandemonia
Pandemonia Addons (optional)
ZPack ZPack-onlinepatch
Pand-ZPack
Pand-PBRLiquids (optional)
Auger;Zenith Patch
Made by DarkQuill.
Fixes various incompatiblities between Pandemonia and Auger;Zenith, namely decorations. Readme includes more details.

The effects-work in this is really fancy, well done on that! The particle effects make everything look really sparkly, really adds a lot of shine to everything. The soundwork is especially crisp as well! I'm not suuuper familiar with Realm667 weapons, but it seems like you went the extra mile to make all the sounds different and snappy, and I like that a lot.
I'm not the biggest fan of randomizers, but I really love the extra work that went into polishing this up to make it stand out compared to all the others. Well done!
Looking great dude.
Seems like you have spend time on every frame of it. Effects are looking good and smooth. The weapons are satisfactory to shoot.
At least It feels way different from randomizers. Gud work dude

From Complex addons to full on GZ functions is a big step, one that you took with a stride. No enemies feel blatantly unfair in most situations, and playing through most mid-level mapset (Stardate 20x7 on HMP, Plutonia 2, and Sunlust for me) felt very smooth. Not to mention that the work in the effects is more than worth the download alone. Looking forward to future releases.
The mod is realy nice, its feels smooth and solid.
i am looking forward for next releases(hopefully there will be a chaingun, besides the assault rifle)
other than that its a great mod!
I think supershotgun zombie is bit too nasty.
His attack is seriously dangerous because it can one-shot unarmored doomguy.
Well, his attack is only dangerous in close range, but some maps have a large amount of shotgun guys in very small area.

SSG zombie is a bit strong indeed, but in most mods this type of enemy is usually a pretty nasty one. I'll try balancing out his accuracy and the amount of bullets he shoots in comparison to the actual gun (the regular shotgunner shoots 4 hitscans here, compared to the gun's 7).

I suppose you mean the effects spawning behind the projectile? I could fix that by doing some trigonometry stuff but I have little experience with that lol. For now it'll be like that until I can find a proper alternative.
Added General Roasterock's video to the videos section of the first post!
In terms of upcoming content, I've been working on making some proper Cyber Hell Knight sprites, since the commonly used ones are extremely old recolors that don't match the hell knight very well.
The original sprites for comparison: the horns and hooves aren't even brown either
Are you going to include all the Eriance weapons? Like the Missile launcher, Gatling gun and the Machine gun
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dmjp1zp8w ... V2.0.0.pk3
I edited a little bit the last version of erigun just to change the Chainsaw and the fists, idk is this could be useful for you besides of the ammo counter effect in the plasma gun.

The actual version 1.0 of Pandemonia has been released! The version number was going to be reserved for the first public release, but I forgot to change it. A ton of new features, fixes, and tweaks have been added, and the changelog will be included in the original post along with some screenshots of new content.

I might include the missile launcher at some point, but I dunno about the gatling gun or machine gun yet since there are already an assault rifle and minigun in Pandemonia with different sprites.
