The shotgun can definitely be tweaked, i just made it the default one so as not to get too into the small details to begin with but that's easily altered now :)
I could make em not telefrag stuff, it might cause issues later but I doubt it :) should be all good
The sapphire powerup should be recharging, it takes around 2 minutes to recharge i think. If it's not happening i gotta fix that shit
Grab a dumbbell to become totally immune to their attacks, they huck em fairly regularly :D
and the getting stuck in the roof thing is an engine issue, ain't nothing i can do about that (i spent like 2 evenings trying different ways to fix it and didn't find a satisfactory fix)

Thanks for the useful feedback, i'll address any future issues you come across :)

This mod is awesome
kinda like parody of dragon ball and power rangers like
keep up the good work.

Here's a few maps and mods that have huge maps to arenas like maps
i haven't test all these yet, but I think these would good combination mods.

Stronghold: On The Edge Of Chaos
Boss Battles viewtopic.php?f=47&t=32157
ProDoomer v3
Doom Slayer Chronicles

There's also Hunters Moon, but it might look off with the 3d models,
but still might be fun.

Doom slayer chonicles and prodoomer are kinda stinky but it'd be fun messin them up with gholazons :D I didn't think of trying Stronghold with em but that sounds like an amazing combo, might have to summon em into the map tho ("summon clonepodspawner" will do the trick)
Demonastery and Going Down work well with them too, Going Down is a little cramped at times so make sure to grab a dumbbell if you can before heading into a tight space in case you get bulldozed by a careless gholazon lol

Update on the Sapphire Giver item:

Turns out it’s very finicky with GZDoom versions. On 3.7.2 (and LZDoom), collecting all 5 hearts does not give you the item, you then have to type “give sapphiregiver” in the console to get it; it does recharge after 2 minutes, though. On the latest version, it does give you the item with all 5 hearts acquired, but it does not recharge. Another problem on both ends is exiting a level when the power-up is not in your inventory will prevent it from recharging and you won’t be able to collect the 5 morph hearts to get it back.

That’s all for now, hope this helps.

Bad gzdoom, bad. Go to your room.
I was testing using 3.4 and 2.1 and it worked fine with them, i guess the newer versions do something fucky with inventory stuff?
Once you have all 5 hearts it gives you a weapon which is selected, gives you the item and then is removed, it's a lil hacky but it's the only way i could think of giving the player the item after getting 5 separate items. It gives you an inventory item that lets you recharge in subsequent maps too, so I assume it's taking that off you for some reason.
The most effective way to solve this issue might be to have the hearts activate a script that gives you the item and takes the hearts, and instead of recharging you gotta collect 5 more hearts to get it. I'll see if that works out later.
Again, thanks for the helpful feedback and stuff :D

OHHHH SHIT
MAMA FUCKED UP
i had it checking for a higher inventory amount than it was capable of holding :D Got that workin now tho, so all i gotta do is figure out how to make sure you receive the powerup after collecting 5 stones
[edit] There we go, pickup and recharge system should be workin now :) it'll always select the powerup giving weapon even if weapon switch is off, and it should actually recharge now.
I also buffed the ssg a little and added a chance for the pods to spawn a dumbbell as well as a heart stone, to even the odds a little :D
the heart stones are rarer as a consequence but that's all good considering how OP Sapphire is lol
download's in the main post but here's another one lol

Lol thanks for the heads up and yeah Doom slayer chonicles and prodoomer I kinda like them but i can see why they're not good either,
I think minor mods improves them abit, like your mods or isabelle or both.

Perhaps it might be possible to some hackery involving monster fear to make them actively avoid the player when doing their energy aura attack?

LOL that Imp, he been Yamcha'd

If i remember there was a dragon ball z mod for doom?

I think it was called DragonDoomZ, theres a concept there for yeah.

Play as a super sentai, sailor moon, and dbz like character.

Mostly anime class sets

Monster master = Pokemon & Digimon type

Sentai: Power Rangers and Guyver type

Scout: Sailor Moon ( I think of Heather from Silent Hill 3) "Sexy beam"

Card Master: Yu-Gi-Oh and other card game types

Jojo-Star: The Jojo and Fist of the North star type.

Tournament warrior: The DBZ and Yu yu hakusho type.

Just crazy ideas I have

I'm not a modding mercenary, I do my own thing lol if you want a mod like that then make it yourself, you'll be able to put whatever you want in it and have it just the way you want it :)
plus i'm not huge on anime in general, i just like a few specific ones cuz they're fun and stuff lol

The player avoidance fear hackery idea is good but I'm not sure how that'd work with a friendly monster, it shouldn't be that much of an issue now tho cuz the pods often spawn with a dumbbell so you have immunity to their attacks right off the bat :D

I'm just talking, Just like to say crazy ideas that i'm not talented to do.
As i'm not a modder, I'm a sprite editor.

The only closes thing in "modding" for me would be a sprites swapping in another mods
