Samsara: Extra Heroes (Version C2) + ExMixer (0.81)

[mentha]

because previous samsara add-ons were made by people with no idea what they were doing, generally.

very glad to hear this one breaks that trend.

To the mod authors:

Do you think you guys could modify the Duke Nukem portion of the mod to get rid of the explosive firing shotgun, and then put the shrinker and devestator from Duke Nukem 3D into Samsara?

Current version of Zandronum finally supports the code I used to make my Shrinker/Expander and Holoduke additions to Samsara. Not guaranteed to work in Multiplayer though.

Feel free to use this code in your own mod. Just give me a credit maybe.

Why would you want to get rid of the explosive shotgun?

I think an explanation for past Samsara addons is that the main mod was kind of hard to work with, with one of the biggest examples being the code at the time.
Then there was how it tried to make the characters faithful, while at the same time being creative and trying to make things work.
Prisoner 849 was a noticeable character that was planned but then cancelled, even though i don't know why, but i know the case for Caleb was:

* He had a role that was already "filled", since the mod treated characters as classes.
* His movement was tricky from what i heard. (specially since Blood doesn't have its source code released)
* And the core gameplay of Blood was a different beast from Doom's.

At least this was what i heard.

To address all concerns about Duke's arsenal:

1) I don't think I will remove the explosive shotgun. A lot of people love it and it's been around since the beginning of Samsara.
2) I've considered adding the Shrinkray and microwave expander, the thing is every enemy has to have shrunken actors along with a shrinking effect and honestly it's a lot more work than it is worth, especially because mixer compatibility will of course be demanded.

I just want to chip in and mention that visuals although important, are not necessary to get perfect.
I would be okay with Caleb walking like a creep, as long as aesthetics and general feeling of Blood is kept on point.

I can't speak for Term, but from what I can remember he got burned out on Samsara and Naraka and moved on to Metroid Dreadnought.

When I jumped in and started doing my own updates years later, Term's work on Prisoner 849 had gone missing in some way so there wasn't really anything to salvage on that point. Pity, but that's the way things go.

OK, I get your reasons for not using the shrinker or expander, but what about the incinerator from World Tour? Would that be hard to do?

Ah, I don't know man, I think his arsenal is fine, unless you can convince me why it's not I see no need to change it.

Will you add the other heroes from Rise of The Triad in this?

Would there be any appreciable difference?

If you played Rise of The Triads, you'd know that they have different stats. I sadly never played the game, but I did check out Hardcore Gaming 101 about it. I could try out the total conversion of it for Doom or download ECWolf to play RotT on it.

[Kinsie]

The only difference between the ROTT characters mechanically is health and movement speed. There isn't much of a point unless you love bloat.

You know, I've been thinking about it, and I have been interested in adding the shrinker and expander in the past before. I can add them, but someone else neither me or Jesh are interested in making shrunk variants of all the enemies, someone else will have to do that if they really want it.

It makes me laugh to see questions asked like whether or not other RoTT characters will be added because I already have something in my builds that's far better than that.
