I'm testing various maps that require jumping and crouching with this mod + Nash's gore mod and your monster randomizer. It works perfectly so far.

I recorded a gameplay/analysis video of your mod. It's a very good gameplay mod indeed. Good Luck on your next projects o/

I'm really into this mod. I've also recorded some gameplay with additional mods.

I'm really enjoying this mod! Some of the details are great, like the automap with all the info in the corner, and the upgrades showing up on it, and the animations for the upgrade tokens are just perfect. I see why others here are saying this is the most Doom 2016 of the Doom 2016 for Doom mods.

There are a few features that the others ones have though, that I'd like to see here too. Doom 4 Vanilla's mobs, and tweaks for the skyboxes and textures would be a great addition. And Death4Told has some extra glory kills (like the one where doomguy rips a man in half) that would be a wonderful addition too. Also, there's a little mod addon that attempts to replace keys, with corpses that wear the key. It reminds me of the way upgrade tokens work here, and it might be worth seeing if keys could work similarly.

Also, it'd be nice if the way darkness has been tweaked could be turned off in the option menu, instead of requiring manually commenting out some lines of code.

Usually I just lurking around but this time I will write something. This is very good mod, I like a lot amount of details You put into Your work, like all this hands animations and gun sprites details. While there are other mods with different progression / development systems this one nails well ballance of Doom2016 upgrade system. I like how upgrades are divided into 4 different categories. So when You play and collect stuff You have a big chance to upgrade everything from Your guns/gun mods/suit/base stats. For example doom4doom use same credits system for everything and at the end I upgrade only gun mods and do not touch health /armor /other stuff. I like how You can sellect hoe many goodies will spawn depending on number of maps.
I would love to see voxel based pick ups for items and guns. Maybe as optional option in menu.
Also I miss unarmed zombies / unwilling - doom death foretold have them and they are good for quick replenish health by stunning them or ammo by chainsaw kill.
It would be cool to have also multiplayer guns as optional additions, maybe each gun could have own option to spawn so player could select their set of additional tools of destruction. Personally I enjoy using grenade launcher and static rifle that charge while walking.
I am sure there is still lot of stuff to improve :)

I have just small little issue with this mod - map screen do not display map, it show only new stats.

The ripping in half Glory Kill was not one you can do normally, only with Berserk. You can randomly trigger that Glory Kill with Berserk, if you launch into a Berserk Glory Kill from the front. ;)

I'll need to look into making an option for disabling the minimum sector light level. Good luck braving maps without night-vision, though (at least you have the weapons' dynamic lights). :P

I actually utilized many of D4T's assets for many graphical aspects of this mod, including for the additional Glory Kills (there used to be three here, can you believe that?), and took some easily generic Glory Kills and adapted them here. The side-kick and knee to the face were certainly present in D4T, though I created my own versions of those animations.

If I were making monsters for the mod, I would have them available as an addon. For a couple years, I've been thinking about EOA Monsters, but didn't have enough resources to make it a reality. Then D4V came out, and it came with most of everything I'd need. Now I just need time and inspiration to work on it, but it may be too late for that. I was also thinking of breaking out my old Monster Randomizer, taking some of the monsters from there, and adapting them to a more 2016/Eternal experience. No faithful recreations, but it'd at least have the spirit of the gameplay present. ;)

Many thanks! :D

As I said above, I've no plans to add monsters into the mod itself. Possibly as an addon, but not beyond that. I don't use voxels because they're kinda ugly for my tastes (I prefer spritework). I like the unarmed zombies too, but again, not in the core mod. For multiplayer guns, I once dreamed of recreating DOOM's multiplayer in GZDoom with EOA, but GZDoom doesn't have decent C/S multiplayer yet. So that's not a priority. If you're talking about using those in Singleplayer, that's not something I plan to do, as it goes against the grain of the mod itself. Of course, I don't stop people from making addons (heck, I even made one myself, which encourages more usage of the Chainsaw). :P

For the map issues you're having... did you load EOA Assets before EOA Code?

I can get by with a flashlight mod :)

For me, D4V LOOKS the most like Doom 2016, but your mod FEELS the most like it. I do hope you find the inspiration to include the mobs as well, but if not, it's not as if there aren't a myriad of doom monster mods that I can enjoy along with it instead :D I've been having a lot of fun playing it with the Dehacked version of smooth doom. (I'm having trouble getting the latest normal version of smooth doom to work with your mod for some reason. *shrugs*)

But you *are* aware that *this* is a thing, I presume?

I think you'll have much fun with it.

Oh, and as for the mod: I ignored it for some time, thinking 'Eh, another of those D2016 mods, I can do without one more'. But then Youtube flooded me with videos of EoA, so I took a second look. One thing led to another, and now EoA is my to-go D2016 mod, lol. So good job, DoomKrakken o/

Yes, I try to change order of code and assets files but it ends with broken upgrade menu and glowing left site of HUD. In both configurations map does not work. I use Lzdoom 3.84 for 64bit cpu.
Also I use addon with new monsters.

Show me the load order you're using.

Yeah, I figured my mod would've gotten ignored this way, considering how many other 2016-to-Doom mods were out there already. I was certainly late to the party, and DOOM Eternal is out now... so excluding the following I've got on Discord, I didn't expect people to take a second glance at it. I did figure once people actually got to see what the mod offered, it'd really stand out, and then people would try it.

Many thanks for playing the mod! :D
