Stellar Weapons G5

[Deybar_TECH]

how to change weapon ??

note : i accidentaly found a weapon in berserk pack location.
now i decided to use summon berserk for spawning weapon.

Try the skill level "3 - Normal".
There you will find many new weapons
where they originally Doom spawn in the map:
BurningBarrel - EvilEye - Infrared - Berserk

When obtaining weapons in these Skill Level,
StellarWeapons will remember all your previous progress
and will suggest if you want to recover the weapons
and ammo upgrades
that you found
in other game sessions.



also, In the current version 8.0, (Please, Check this in the STARTUP Logo)
there is a orange difficulty called "6 - Online" where it is more easier to find all weapons in the Mod.

But, weapons will not be saved for other game sessions.
Basically like in any other Mod.

I recently played and finished "RandomFest" (AKA: hardfest2_RC1.3.wad)
and found some very critical issues in the final map.

Maybe it's because this Megawad: May Not Run With Non Boom-compatible ports.
but again, the most unusual problems they happened on Map40.
the End of a Megawad that at most had enemy pits that did not rise
or maps that apparently needed the "Jump" button to be completed.



Now, as you can see in the video, the most critical problem is the nonexistent of frames per seconds. literally 0 FPS.
In the first Slaughter_Weapons, the VoodooDolls slowly decimated the FPS.
so I designed a system that "Suppress" its operation
This system actually fixed the destruction of the FPS by the VoodooDolls
but somehow, this problem returned and the worst thing is that it
does not seem that the VoodooDolls be the cause, is the player himself.
since when it disappears, the FPS is extensively restored.

(All the monsters on the map are dead so their movement is not the cause)

Anyway, compared to the original Slaughter_Weapons G3 from 2021,
the current Stellar Weapons v8.0 is quite competent and that makes me happy.
Of course there is a lot of things that can be improved
and there is a lot that needs to be explained to stop being mysterious

But..... what i need now is to concentrate on the new generation because there
are some similar mods and projects that have the potential to rival my future G5 so I have to hurry.

---

The results have been..... too good, very good!!!




I seriously can't believe that it is actually possible to create maps only with 3D Floors.
This is something that has a lot of potential and I want to reserve it for the G5 cities
(correction, G5 will be a GameplayMod. but there will still be a T.C. with what was learned in that Mod very much in the future.)

Also, when I added the fog from my Flight Simulator,
everything became more realistic and more beautiful.



If we add Ray Tracing shadows and PBR textures, GZDoom would become UnrealEngine.

The development and maintenance of this Topic
and this fourth Generation of "Stellar Weapons"
are suspended.
(or at least, for all the current year 2024)

(Hotfix for GZDoom 4.12.2 coming soon)

---

I don't want to be near Calabiyau/Strinova anymore.....
next generation still in development

---

I wanted..... and in fact, I continued using this Topic
for everything that is related to this Mod but.....

A few months ago, I found an Anime Video Game that changed all.
Literally EVERYTHING!!!

Now that the complexity and the targets of the project
are sufficiently massive to be worthy of GZDoom's ZScript,
now there are no excuses or limitations that prevent me
to implementing my so much desired 3D Weapons in the Game.

Soon, I will create a new Topic only for the new Generation
in which there will only development reports.
( for now.....)

Is you are going to reboot Stellar Weapons, please keep the current version (with the 4.12.2 fix) as legacy edition or something. It's already quite fun and eye candy and it'd be a shame to lose it even with the new version eventually being available. I also would like to publish here my new video with the mod.

[Deybar_TECH]

please keep the current version (with the 4.12.2 fix) as legacy edition or something.

Thank you for your attention.
I really appreciate it.
So, this version will not be abandoned.



However, Considering what features are in the next generation "G5",
I really want to replace the Doomguy hands and Player Sprites
with a Female one.
(mostly Visual changes that will not affect the gameplay)

you have control, what do you think?

[BLSZDOOM]

if anything you should update g4 to work with latest gzdoom version.

I will do it. The new GZD 4.12 has very worried me

[BLSZDOOM]

you got that right,it keeps breaking mods i hope it stops updating for a while.

I really don't care tooo much about that but why not make two classes then? you'd keep what you already done and will just add a female counterpart to the protagonist.

[Deybar_TECH]

I really don't care tooo much about that

That makes me feel better.

I want a Woman/Girl to take it all the protagonism role in my Mod.
That's why I can't give more continuity to the Doomguy Arms/Hands.
sorry.....

[Deybar_TECH]

the Stellar Weapons "8.1 Hotfix" for GZD 4.12.2 is now available



But not only that,
I've also I drop a Download link to the "Soft Re-Boot": StellarWeapons G5.
I wanted to test this BETA000 in Online MODE to detect bugs and that's why it is available.

remove all Doomguy Hand/Arms made the game look very different
and I decided to upgrade it's Generation instead of naming it "the 9.0 Update"



(the Full Reboot in "Third Person Shooter" for GZDoom, now is called "G6")

[BLSZDOOM]

hell yeah

[Deybar_TECH]

I've drop a Download Link for a new Beta of Stellar Weapons G5: Dark Winter

This "'BETA003" brings changes to the HUD,
lots of "GenericDeath" animations for enemies
and several anomaly/bug corrections for Online mode.
(Zandronum behaves very VERY strange in Multiplayer mode)



Aside from that,
I finally included a female voice for the player.
This is a fresh change, but this time I have a 100% of trust in her
because she has a voice from Honkai Star Rail.

However, the player sprites are still empty.
I'm currently working on a more efficient "Low Poly 3D Model" for her.





BETA download moved to another topic:

[BLSZDOOM]

say,stellar weapons is not compatible with other monster packs right?

[Deybar_TECH]

can be played with almost any MonsterPack

just select the difficulty:
(2 - Ready for any Map)
to let the Mod only adds the new weapons and inventory.
