BRUTAL HEXEN RPG (ZDL Edition) v4.7

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

Hello and thanks for the replies.

Irontusk I sent you a DM, never seen that bug before on Hexen even in coop mode. Very strange indeed.

FrekingYou, you can DM here just click on the profile and send message, or you can jump in on Patreon and post/message us, no problem.

I've finished most of the new sprite work, just the rest of the Ai neural upscale to finish and it should be ready to go.

Thanks again for your time and hope you enjoy.

Would be mindblowing if said megawad would be sent my way too. I got several other mods i'd like to use with said megawad.
I have NO intentions of using BH before i get the full experience, and apparently, the MegaWad is where it's at.

Is ZDL a must, or can i just use my classic method of using .bat files?
I feel i have more control with .bat files then i got with launchers.

I also use a mod that spawns monsters 10x times. "10x universal", i found it here on the forums 2 years back.
The version i use seems to work flawlessly with any mod thus far, willing to share a copy of it.
Ofc, with Brutal Hexen, i have NO clue as to how that is going to go down.
Might need to make a few micro changes to some of the stats to the playerclasses (like jump height) to help get out of certain sticky situations (running along the monster heads :P)

The day i can afford VR,
A Doom, Doom 2, Hexen and Heretic Marathon begins, and it shall be streamed on twitch!

Hello and thanks for the reply.

I wish I owned a VR headset, I can only code then pass it on to a friend to test, with the current situation I cant even see my own work anymore.

I cant even afford 3 meals a day, I had to setup a Patreon to request support, VR updates are slow.

Regarding the ZDL launcher, its so much easier to arrange the mod order and have the entire ZDoom collection all in one program. It also sets DM and COOP parameters for easy server host or to join a server. So I would highly recommend ZDL launcher.

For more information on the MegaWAD please head over to the ZDL Patreon page.

Thanks for your time and hope to speak soon.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this interesting project! Would it be possible to receive a link to the MegaWAD as well? I have the GOG version of Hexen (with the Deathkings DLC), hopefully I'll be able to use the megawad with that version? Thank you very much in advance!

I tried with the -snip-, and it IS doable... but you gotta be quick on them toes man!
At least for the start, once you have cleared an area, you will have a sort of safe haven to back up to to dodge attacks and the like.
At the start, on Hardest difficulty, RUSH the door, Then Rush the window you need to smash to the next area, you can stand just at that edge area. Monsters can't hit you through the broken window as you make use of the geometry of the map to hide from the enemies in front. Then it's just a matter of of slowly clearing out the reminder of the map.

Not impossible, but it requires one to be dancing on ones toes for sure!

Now to the questions: Why the heck am i moving so slow? It's like i'm RUNNING half the speed of the walkspeed of normal hexen... 0.o
Also, why is the HUD do massive????

Hello and thanks for the replies.

The link to the MegaWAD is on the first page, thanks again.

Regarding the movement speed, if you selected the Mage then yes the speed is reduced just like the stats state.

The HUD seems ok to me, do you have some sort of ultrawide monitor?

Update will be out very soon.

No ultrawide stuff... Just the mod and the -snip-...

And yes, my computer can easily handle 3-4k monsters on the map no problem, done it a couple of times live on stream too.
So i'm looking forward to seeing what this mod can dish at me :D

Hello and thanks for the reply.

I've sent you a DM, please remove that screenshot please its looks a mess and its a spoiler if you don't mind thankyou.

Please DM me some more screenies how you get on, if you don't mind stating the CPU model and speed, I can get some more ambush situations allocated if running solid FPS.

But please no more modded screenshots here if you don't mind.

Thankyou for your time and hope to speak soon.

Thanks for the answer! I looked at the first page but I can't find a link to the MegaWAD, it only references the Patreon page. I checked the Patreon page but it looks like I have to subscribe to one of the higher tiers to get anything from there - does it mean that it's essentially a paid MegaWAD with a recurring subscription-based payment? Moreover, it's not even clear what exactly the difference is between "access to the MegaWADs" for $4 per month and "full access to the MegaWADs" for double that much ($8 per month), so I'm not even sure what tier I'd want to be in if I consider to be in any of them. That said, it looks like people who posted above me got the MegaWAD for free, that's why I'm wondering if I misunderstand something or if you're just selling the WAD now? Thanks a lot for the clarification!

Hello and thanks for the reply.

The ZDL Patreons page is to support us in future development of the VR Editions and all other ZDL applications, you also have your name engraved into the walls of the Hexen intro and all other ZDL Editions for all eternity, its not essentially paid but more a benefit for supporting us for the world community as I cannot provide this on a public forum anymore I'm afraid. Regarding the tiers, the top tier is for full access to all MegaWADS/VR projects/Gold Name/Top Discord permissions once setup, you can join our private server at any time.

I must have made a grammar mistake on Patreon, I'll correct that at once,(P.S Edited ZDoom post and updated the page) You can also now see what's there scrolling down the page so thanks for the update. The goal of the Patreon is to finally finish the VR Editions for the world community, not many users work on VR for the future, also for further development of all ZDL Editions.

Thankyou for your time and hope to speak soon.

Sorry for the double post just an update here.

Finally finished the rest of the mage hands for the torch and throw flechette, all fully custom drawn by yours truly.

I was going to upload some chainmail upscaled Ettins here but it maybe abit of a spoiler so I'll leave it for now. Still working on the amount of sprites here, about 60% finished on the upscale now.

Fixed all weapon stat allocations, also balanced all weapons with each character. Also fixed some enemy boss scripts and lots of other fixes and rare CTD issues.

Thanks for reading.
