Abysm 2: Infernal Contract -4th ANNIVERSARY EDITION v1.4- Action RPG - TC

[jazzmaster9]

Just wanted to say that I'm having a blast with this mod, it's really excellent.

Might be a stupid question, but how do you unlock the ability to upgrade weapons at the blacksmith? I must have missed a side passage somewhere but I've been all over the map and can't work out where I missed this. I keep getting dialogue that he needs specialized tools.

Thank you so much for playing,
I'll give a hint. there is a Building in the City of Hadria near the Grand Hall that you can enter.
The entrance will pop out because its marked with torches.

I thought that room was suspicious, missed a lever!

Thanks a lot, as a final compliment, love the use of Diablo sound effects, they're burned into my brain.

Definitely the best Doom RPG mod I've played, feels like an entirely new game really. I'm having trouble finding how to complete the Bandit's Hideout sidequest though, all monsters dead, explored everywhere.

I'm not sure if it's a Doom issue, GZDoom issue, or an Abysm issue, but Abysm is the first time i've encontered this : the disappearing Imp case. Say there is a platform with a high thick column in the middle, and there are 3 Imps on the platform. I get on the platform, kill 2 Imps, and the third one is nowhere to be seen. I walk around the column - nothing. I walk around the column again - and the last Imp is right there behind it ! What ? I've encountered it in Abysm 1, and just as i started Abysm 2, i've seen it again in Hadria, on the roof of one of the houses. You get on the roof - and the last Imp is gone. You walk all the way around the roof again - and it appears ! Is this intended behaviour or is that a bug ?

Do you have a video of this? I have not encountered this error during testing.
Also what version of GZdoom version are you using and are you auto loading mods?

Having spent all that time writing, you'd think you could spend a few seconds running all the text through a simplest free spellchecker, or asked someone to proof-read it at least once.

Its not as easy as you think it is. the dialogue in the mod is nested within lines of code. So you can't just simply put it on a spell/grammar checking tool.

Great mod and big improvement over first Abysm. Bigger, more enemies, better map etc. A few comments:
- I found mage to be the strongest class
- not a big fan of instant death like that trap in mansion or sharks. Especially that lone ship on Harbin Outskirts it looked like I could swim to it.
- sold king ring and I couldn't enter the tomb wish I knew before
- harbin docks is quite empty would be ok to get more friendly soldiers
- still a lot of imps and pinkies but no revenants (except secret level)

Hi, I just finished the mod. Very enjoyable overall. I just have one question:

Where do the E1M1 and E2M8 remixes come from? They don't seem to be in the OST.

The E2M8 remix is from the first Abysm.
The E1M1 remix, i believe, is available when the soundtrack is purchased on bandcamp. you can double check with PRIMEVAL for that

Ah, I knew I recognized E2M8. Thanks for the reply.

Just had to chip in on how great this TC was! I wanted it to be longer, and that is a big complement. Really fun, very satisfying game. The main hub level ran like a dog on Quest 2, but otherwise it was a great VR experience, to boot! Well, done, Jazzmaster9!

Hi there,

I was playing this mod using the Hunter set and suddenly there was an FPS drop. Playing as the sorcerer's set and alchemist's set has no issues.

Playing the hunter's set does have this prompt on screen:
/DOORS/DR2_OPENDOORS/DR2_OPEN

This text repeats itself until there are 4 lines of it.

It starts out fine but then it lags as if there was an fps drop to 10 or less.

Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks!

Tested with 4.2.4 and 4.5.0 But was not able to replicate this issue. Ran as normal
What version of GZDoom do you use?
Also be sure to not Autoload any other mods other than this.

Arghh!!! It was a mod causing all this. It's the simplehud mod. Nuts... I'm such an idiot...

The problem is solved now! Thank you very much!
