Hell Crusher 0.5 - Skilled based overpowered gameplay mod

[AlvinHBrown]

These mods have elements which conflict with one another. To get them to work properly the code that replaces enemies must be separated from the rest of the mod. Simply putting them together has the effect of telling the game "Launch this weapon set....oh wait, cancel that and put this in, but keep the rest." Hope this helps explain things.

That is helpful, and I suspected that might be the case. Do you have a good recommendation on a guide to learn how to cut out the monsters from a WAD? I've dabbled in SLADE and I can (sorta) code, but I really don't understand what I'd need to be cutting out or how to package it properly.

--FEEDBACK ON TOPIC--

I found it strange that every weapon's alt-fire was armed with right-click, and fired with left click EXCEPT the shotgun which fires with right click. I keep unloading a bunch of rounds into a wall when I mean to arm it.

Every weapon? You forgot the rocket launcher and the plasma rifle don't need to be toggled for alt fire, but I some what get what you are getting at.

Alright, I've played tons of weapon mods, too many of them probably, from all the crappy ones or joke ones, to Bwootal Duum and Project Brutality, and I gotta say, this one is my new favourite weapon mod, and will be for a long time.

However, I don't know if it's just me but why is Mastermind and Cyberdemon ridiculously overpowered? I mean I get that our arsenal is overpowered too especially on vanilla maps, but I don't think it's so overpowered to make two strongest enemies run at light speed and shoot BFG projectiles at 300 shots per minute, especially considering there's a ton of wads that use those enemies pretty often in maps, not just as a "boss" that you see 1 or twice in the whole wad.

Don't get me wrong, everything else is phenomenal, the sound, the sprites, movement, animation, the sheer power of the weapons, I just don't think Master and Cyber needed to be this insane. Is it only a temporary feature and if not, is there any chance to download the mod without the modified Master and Cyber?

Thanks and once again, amazing mod regardless of the two enemies.

You can turn them off in the mod options, if I recall correctly.

Indeed, I realized that literally the moment I posted a reply, but I didn't know how to delete it. I somehow missed the fact that the mod had any settings at all and I've never looked in the settings again, oh well.

The weapon sprites look spiffy. I'll give this a whirl.

The new cyberdemon is absolutely broken, makes a lot of maps impossible to beat.

Besides that, the mod is great!

Thanks! the next update will have both of them removed, ngl I mainly tested both the Cyberdemon and Mastermind replacements in big open arenas, never really in actual map, also, kind of embarrassing that I released it that way, lol. The main reason why I removed them is that I want to make custom monsters at some point that fit the power level the player is given, also they will be toggle-able.

lol, yea... they will be removed next update, my bad.

That makes sense, no worries! I was just blind and haven't realized you can turn them off. Really excited for future updates, custom monsters definitely makes sense considering how powerful the arsenal is (PLEASE DON'T NERF THE WEAPONS, jk haha). Just finished 180 Minutes pour Vivre (relatively difficult megawad) recently using Hell Crusher and I gotta say it was pretty easy with vanilla monsters, but definitely satisfying and great, still challenging in some parts but not nearly as much as on vanilla weapons.

Whatever the future updates will bring, I'm looking forward to it

I've enjoyed the weapons in this mod so far, powerful and crazy, a lot of fun to mess with, but the extra bosses are way too spammy with either bfg blasts or the cyber's homing rockets, too stupidly powerful even for a fully equipped player in most arenas except for the most large and cover-laden examples.

I suggest making sure those attacks have some good cooldown and at least 0.8 seconds spacing between shots so players have a chance.

This is one of my favorite weapon mods, not overloaded with weapons but some of the most rewarding shooting mechanics I've seen so far. I love how the minigun goes dry within a few seconds in alt fire!!!
One very minor gripe, the art design for the hammer looks a bit out of place to me, to photo like and that blue stick... I love using it though. So only minor moping on my end...

[LoreCannon]

Those sprites make this easily one of my favorite weapon mods. Something about them is just... mmm *chef's kiss*

I have to say, I'd love to try this; but I just want to ask: Is it possible to play this without the extra gore, please?

Thanks! I hope to have the update out soon, maybe on my birthday or something.

Thanks! yea the hammer is a 3d model I made, and rendered. I need to learn how to sprite...

There is no extra gore? if you mean nash gore that is not included with the mod.

Oh, so every video I've seen of Hell Crusher has also been running NashGore.

Alright, I'll give this a download.

EDIT: Welp. I presume this means my GZDoom is too old:

Dammit.
