Excellent mod, though I hope it gets updated to add support for Sigil II. Other than that, this mod rocks.

[TolgaKerem07]

I liked the mod very much and since I want to use it with several other mods, I will ask for various compatibility settings please:

- An option to keep the guns firing when I hold down the mouse?
- Vanilla style punch and chainsaw (no fuel and ammo replacement)
- Chainsaw options
- An option to Completely disable upgrade system (Maybe with turning on various "essential" ones)
- Adjustable ammo pool for bfg (10-20)
- "give all" command gives equipment and upgrade points "For testing purposes"
- SSG is incredibly OP, rendering normal shotguns useless

Other than that, thank you for the great mod.

Best implementation of D2016 mechanics I've seen so far.

At long last, EOA v1.9.3 is now available for download! Refer to OP for further instructions.

Thank you!

Support for Sigil II? What exactly do you mean?

Yoooo, thanks a ton, it means a lot!

Allow me to address some of your concerns here. As a basis for most (if not all) of my responses here, you should know that I made this mod with the express purpose of faithfully recreating the game, its advantages AND disadvantages. I did not make this mod to then add improvements to it, even if I agree with said improvements... because EOA is really also supposed to train you for DOOM (2016). It'd suck to have muscle memory calibrated in EOA only for it to fail you in DOOM (2016) proper because it's not reflected there, no?

With that said...
- "No" to making all guns fully automatic. Some guns are semi-automatic, just like in DOOM (2016). I'm not adding a full-auto option to the mod proper.
- "No" to vanilla-styled punches/chainsaw functions. You already have a quick-melee attack, and your infinite-ammo EMG Pistol can basically count as a long-range melee weapon due to how weak it is.
- "No" to completely disabling the upgrade system. You control what buttons you press, and you also control what upgrades to acquire (for the most part).
- "HELL NO" to the adjustable ammo pool for BFG. If you've actually played (or at least witnessed) DOOM (2016), then you'd ought to know that three shots happens to be enough, especially if you have the Ammo Boost II rune equipped, which will cause enemies to have a 5% chance of dropping BFG ammo. IT'S SO BROKEN I HAVE NEARLY UNLIMITED BFG AMMO WHENVER FACING LARGE CROWDS.
- There are already "cheat items" present in EOA which will give you what you want en masse. Go into EOA Code and search for ZScript/EOA/Cheats.txt to see a full list (#9 will surprise you!).
- "No" to nerfing the SSG. The SSG is of course incredibly OP owing to the absolutely broken numbers the devs passed to the game. Trust me when I say that the Super Shotgun literally is that powerful in DOOM (2016). It really DOES outmode the Combat Shotgun and I hate it. But it is what it is.

TELL YOU WHAT... people are free to make mutator addons for EOA (I actually created one myself known as the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" mod which encourages a lot more use of the Chainsaw), and I already has ideas for ways to change DOOM (2016) to be better... I did have plans to make another mutator mod that would have a large series of rebalances there (for sure, the Charged Burst needed work), so you'll probably be able to see some such changes there.

I'll keep y'all posted.

My issue with Sigil II, or more specifically the version from the Doom Complete IWAD created with Wadsmoosh, is that when I pick Sigil II it says this:

VM execution aborted: tried to read from address zero.
Called from WadSmooshHandler.WorldThingSpawned at doom_complete.pk3:zscript.txt, line 106

The other options work, including No Rest for the Living and Sigil, but Sigil II is the outlier.

You're using WadSmoosh (damn, that's not a name I had heard in a long time). That's the issue.

The code that sets Spider Masterminds' health set to 9000 in Sigil II fails to null-check for the existence of the Spider Mastermind in the first place. This is not an EOA issue, this is a WadSmoosh issue.

[Jareth247]

Oh, okay. I wonder if the WadSmoosh dev can fix that on their end. I just posted a comment on WadSmoosh's itch.io page.
