Welcome to Siren, a mod built on ID's latest tech demo 'Doom 2'
This aims to be an experience closer to an 'Aliens' game but with the variety and gameplay benefits the rosta of Doom monsters brings
This is a slower, more perilous mod that aims to tell its story through its own set of levels.
Thanks for looking. Any feedback would be great.

| BDLite chopped up and reassembled by DavidN from Sgt Mark IV's Brutal Doom v20 |
| VERSION 1.2 |
| http://teamouse.net/games/doom/bdlite/
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| BDLite was a great entry way into learning how to make a mod as it
| presented a few advanced features with easy to follow code.
|
| As this mod progesses there may be less and less of Brutal Doom and BDLite
| present but the recognition still stands that this wouldn't have been possible
| without using this as a base.

Spoiler:
- Titanium Ally.
This Sig Sauer uses hydrogen accelerators to deliver extreme velocity firepower without devastating recoil.
Since its introduction in 1994, it has been banned in every country on earth after several thousand users reported missing limbs as a by-product of using unstable hydrogen cells in a handgun.
Ripley M14B
Infiltration rifle. A heavily suppressed barrel and the use of caseless rounds means you can slaughter without a trace.
The 4 round burst can put most things down with one pull of the trigger.
A semi-automatic mode provides unrivaled accuracy for shooting tin cans at long range.
Standard issue for UAC marines. You also have one.
Combat Shotgun
Buck-shot bread and butter. A high rate-of-fire makes it a go-to for close-quarters combat. Uses 12 round magazines to ensure you don't get caught loading shells one-by-one like a complete jerk.
Concorde Minigun
After retiring from the aviation industry, Henry Concorde took all he had learned from aerospace engineering... and disregarded it as it had nothing to do with making guns.
He did produce this minigun, albeit in a limited batch as it was deemed too expensive, too impractical and too unreliable for most combat situations.
The perpetually spinning kinetic converter ensures a low-latency spin-up time. This means you can go from zero to bullets everywhere in the blink of a second.
The high-speed 8 round burst modes give you manageable murder with a higher accuracy.
Yellowboy shotgun
Back on earth, this shotgun shipped with a pair of Ray-Bans - that was before the sky went dark forever.
The YellowBoy lever shotgun has been retrofitted with a static ioniser that can manipulate the spread any buck shot ammo. Default fire binds the pellets to something with greater range and accuracy. Secondary fire...oh boy.
Plasma Rifle in the 40watt Range
The energy-saving energy weapon. Since the 100watt rifles were outlawed in the year 2000 the 40watt model became the green-earth favourite. This rifle allowed humans to exterminate each other without exterminating the ozone layer. Maybe we can make Mars last a little longer than earth.
Sadly the secondary-fire rail-attack is subject to an ongoing emissions scandal.

Flashlight is now 0.0001% brighter!
New textures, new elements to level 1 to set up level 2.
Updates to the Plasma rifle design (Still WIP)
Introduction of a conversation system to aid direction, fill in lore and expose secrets.
Fixed many bugs and unfair elements in level 1.
Scripted explosions can nolonger damage player.
Chaingun bot's heinous splash damage when destroyed removed.
Some balancing to Siren. Telegraphed attack. Increased pain state chance. Less of a 1 hit kill. You can shoot it to slow it down. You can. You can. You can. I promise.
A few classic Doom sounds replaced.
Customised Menu and skills menu.
Reskinned most monster sprites for a super hi-def 2x resolution.
Mod now has 2 maps.
New OST from PrimeEvil. (Level 2).
Imps have a new chase and jump logic that should enable them to get to your position more accurately. (Look out for bugs). They should no longer end up stood on top of each other.
Pistol can be fired in full auto when aimed down sights. Because it's too much fun.
Improved the reliability of the climb mechanic.
Fixed a few janky aspects of how a few of the weapons behave when out of ammo.
Zombies have a 'lick' attack when close.

Changelog 4.0
Work on the level ending which leads into the next level nicely.
Lots of texture fixes, polishing and small additions to level.
1st level considered complete, barring minor texture work and alignment of which I'm sure there will be many.
Painfully reshaded the imps for very little difference.
No need to disable auto aim in gzdoom. Added 'noautoaim' flags to weapons as, frankly, it's game breaking in this mod.
Ledgegrab/ climb by dodopod added as a replacement for double jump.
Jump and kick will do extra damage in melee.
More pickup sprites and sounds replaced
Shotgunners more reactive and deadly.
Chaingunners even more deadly.
Imp's ceiling behaviour tweaked to stop them moving between ceilings of vastly different heights.
'SpriteShadow' by Nash integrated
Again, more work with sounds with properly allocated channels to stop certain sounds being cut off. New sounds here and there.
Found a way to really reduce monster active sounds (particularly the sergeants) that really get annoying when there's a few monsters active.
Moved rifle to slot 4 and minigun to slot 5. I appreciate this could be unpopular, but with less than 10 weapons, there's no need to double up on weapon slots.
Some reload animation tweaks.
Reloading the rifle now doesn't take an entire clip.
Siren 0.35 changelog
Resized many unnecessarily large textures for performance.
Removed the need for a line portal in the big room in a bid to improve performance. (Probably wont)

Lost Souls replaced
Combine sounds replaced with original sounds (blatant rip off.)
Lots of sound tweaks and improvements. (Number of Monster active sounds reduced)
Siren back to aggressive self
Damage outputs tweaked.
You can now make it back to the upper part of the level
3-key switch doesn't take your keys
Amendments to the cavern area. (Players gonna hate!)
Skimmed a few resources from the map. (Probably too hard now)
