Any buffs for the heavy machine gun over the chaingun, or Mark V pistol over EMG pistol?

what's with the names for levels for Doom II? it's like you can't really play Doom II mods with levels that have new names when using this to know what there really called

VERSION 2.4 RELEASED

• -Fixed a bug where some enemies get stuck on a loop: You may have seem this before: A Mancubus repeatedly using the flamethrower against no one or the Barons jumping without move. Most of the time this was caused by Lost Souls, so I fixed that. This still happens after saving and loading (on vanilla).
  - Rebalanced the "Grenade" Cyberdemon to be more fair
  - Added the BFG Edition numbers (thanks to MadGuy)
  - Added better compatibility for some textures
  - Improved some sprites, like the Cyber-Mancubi
  - Fixed the Mark V Pistol lighting (GZdoom)
  - Hell Razers now have quick-relatiation: Balance was tweaked appropriately (to be more engaging, not more difficult)
  - Updated E2M8 and E3M8: E2M8 have some pillars and better item\enemy placement. E3M8 have a secret BFG.
  - Improved frame animations for the Gauss Cannon blast 
  - Other minor tweaks here and there

There are some technical reasons behind this. I may remove it later on.

might be a good idea. also i've sorta discovered something weird. but i've had weird situations where i shoot i think like the hell knight or something. and it turns into that drone thing. i don't know what mod(s) is causing that to happen though

Update: it seems the bbgore_colored_blood_for_cacodemons_and_bruisers_vanilla mod causes the barons to turn into those drone with the backpacks

That may happen if you're loading some very specific mods
Even so, you can play D4V with gore mods like Bolognese or Nash Gore. They are mutually compatible afaik, just don't use anything for colored blood.

yeah i've been discovering that with some mods i've put together via mod loaders and such. this mod is pretty cool. i've been sorta thinking about revisiting Doom with it again, or perhaps using Doom The Way ID Did. but i don't know

i'm thinking about mmaayybbee doing a revisit of Doom 64 For Doom II with this mod. but, what would be the right loading order for the mods?

VERSION 2.5.5 RELEASED

Here's a slightly updated version to comemorate the Doom Eternal release (not really lol)
It may not be much, but I'm taking the opportunity now because I don't know how much time I will have on the next few days.

I also added a list on the first page with some of my favorite gzdoom add-ons

---

RECOMMENDED\OPTIONAL ADDONS:
* Nash's Gore: Vengeance Edition
Extra blood, gibs and particles effects. If you prefer Brutal Doom styled-gore, try this one instead.
* NightFright's Fullscreen Statusbar Mod
Standard statusbar without borders in widescreen resolutions. Optimized for D4V.
* Doom 2016 Music (proj2music3pk)
Randomizer to play Classic Doom with actual Doom 2016 music. You must already own the OST.
* Vanilla Essence (with 320x200p support)
Brings back the retro, more pixelated look of Doom to GZDoom. Very customizable.
* SpriteShadow (Duke3D Shadows)
Add oldschool-styled shadows to sprites, like the ones from Duke Nukem 3D.

Have fun!

what would be the right loading order for the mods?

Sorry, I didn't saw your question. You need to first load the map07fix (if you want to use it), the D4V wad and then the custom mapset. I also recommend loading it with the -nodeh parameter to avoid conflict with other dehacked files. You can find more information on the instruction files and also here.

I just tried v2.5.7 with D64D2 (one of the recommended mapsets) but when using that PWAD the Gore Nest is bugged. The sprites for the Spider Mastermind and Cacodemon keep showing up and it attacks like a Cacodemon.

[TheOldKingCole]

Okay so Personally I find the Supershotgun animation to still be really janky. It goes to reload to soon after firing and the reloading animation feels like it takes way to long. I would recommend having the firing animation be a bit longer and speed up the reload animation by 25%
