Quaker's DOOM 2.3: A Quake Weapons mod for DOOM

[TheOldKingCole]

Remember OSJCLatchford's Quake: Descent into Heresy? (viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46438)

I thought, this is cool, but what if It was for DOOM? And being the Master Amateur reverse engineering hackjob I am,
I converted the mod for DOOM. Have fun bunny hopping and Rocket Jumping to victory!

Changelog:

Version NecroPoster
-He fixed the radsuit, everyone go thank him

2.3 Changes
-Fixed some of the Nailgun code (Thanks again Ac!d)

2.2 Changes
-Yeeted the Doom Balance Version
-Implemented Ac!d's Weapon and powerup Code (Thanks once again Ac!d)

2.1 Changes
-Fixed Super Shotgun spawn issue

2.0 Changes

- Player Sounds changed to Quake sounds
- Grenade launcher now spawns on chainsaw instead of Super Nailgun
-Super Nailgun now spawns on PlasmaRifle
-Super Shotgun is no longer available in DOOM 1 if using Doom Balance
-Basic Health item now spawns on stimpack rather than health bonus
-Health bonus included in mod
-Shotgunguys now drop 4 shells on death rather than a shellbox

1.1 Changes

-Doom II's super shotgun no longer spawns, and is replaced by a shellbox[/spoiler]

To Do:

---

-Fix palette issues (I tried what was suggested to me by Whoah and it didn't work right so I'd appreciate some advice on what I could have done wrong)
-Acs script that makes it so that when you have over 100 health, your health degenerates back down to 100 like vanilla Quake

The mod is finished on release so yes.
Just play with any wad or megawad you want and enjoy the quake weaponry

Is there a link or...?

Oh shit I forgot

[TheOldKingCole]

So I forgot to add the download link, so yeah, you can download it now

Aside from some sprites that I presume are still using Heretic's color pallette, this is solid! Nice port.

Thanks, and Yeah, some of the sprites still use heretic's color palette, and I don't know enough about programming or modding to fix that at the moment. Someday I may comeback to it and fix it, but it won't be until I get more experience under my belt

If you're using SLAD3, then you can right click it, go down to graphics, then select "convert to...". Then from there, click the dropdown arrow on the left and select "Heretic" and then click the one on the right and select "Doom." Then just click convert. You can also do this with multiple images. Just make sure they all use the same palette and click "convert all" instead of "convert"

EDIT: Alright, now that I've played it a bit, here's some feedback! So far I've only played the Quake balance version.
Good stuff:
+ I enjoy the fact that you gave us the option to play it with either Quake or Doom balance. That's pretty nifty.
+ The spawns generally seem pretty fitting and there wasn't quite as much of an ammo issue as I thought there'd be.

Not so good stuff:
- The health bonuses give way too much health. Like, by level 3 of Doom 2, I had 200 health. The stimpack is also oddly not replaced, so I feel the health bonus replacement would do better as a stimpack replacement after you remove the ability for them to heal above max health.
- Ammo pickups are sorta imbalanced. At least for the shotgun shells. The shotgunners dropping 10 shells seems a little bit much, especially considering how effective the shotguns are.
- The player seems to still use the vanilla player sounds.

Personal nitpicks/suggestions:
~ Maybe put the grenade launcher on the chainsaw spawn? I dunno, I just feel like the super nailgun is more of a plasma rifle-tier weapon.
~ Do you have any plans to port over the enemies featured in Descent into Heresy? I always enjoyed using that addon.

All that being said, I did quite enjoy what I played of it, and I totally encourage you to keep this stuff up! It's always cool to see new modders develop. Good luck, and I'm excited to see where you take this.

Thanks for the feedback. I have no plans to add the enemies from Descent into heresy as this was supposed to be a Quake weapons mod with Doom enemies.
Your other suggestions will be added in an update.

Ha, I actually started a mod like this with an old version of these weapons but never got around to making a proper release for it. I'll have to check this out.

A new update has gone live which has slightly overhauled the game balance
