Disaster Jester v10: 'Spittin' Teeth and Kickin' Ass'

[LossForWords]

First of all, major thanks to Gaming Room for nominating Inferno Suture, Protocol Disposable, Final Raider, and Disaster Jester among 2022's Gaming Doom Awards.


Second, added a compatibility patch for Happy Time Circus 2.

Third, i've got an actual update in the works, with things like new casings, new bullet trails, an overhaul to the Squirtgun's afterburn damage, a handful of bug fixes, and Hexen/Heretic compatibility, but i'm waiting on the new title screens, so have this, instead.

And lastly, happy new year, everyone, and thanks for sticking around.

Amazing mod! This is another one that just escaped me for a while and I just found it. I love the weapon choices! This is why I keep scouring the forums here because I know I'm always going to find things that I missed in the past. My favorite weapon out of everything is the mallet. It's just so huge!

Been a long time, innit?
I don't know if you've missed and been in a state of yearning for this little mod, but if you are, i'm here to bring you good news.
And a snazzy new titlescreen!

Here's the changelog:

---

*New title, intermission and text screens, courtesy of ThatAlexDude!
*Added new casings, courtesy of Joblez.
*Renamed the Sniper Rifle to 'Cupid's Bow'.
*Added All Secrets/All Monsters Killed alerts.
*Tightened accuracy on the Machinegun.
*Re-organized Powerup spawns:
-Flower/Egg Sandwich: Soulsphere
-Saw/Quad Damage: Berserk
-Haste/Hyena Power: Invisibility
-Minigun/Invincibility: Invulnerability
*Added compatibility with Heretic & Hexen.
*Cut down on the effects of the temporary weapons a tiny bit.
*Overhauled the Squirtgun's afterburn flames.
-Now, instead of spawning multiple flame actors that stick to the enemy, it works more like a debuff,
setting enemies on fire once, and stacking the duration with subsequent streams.
*Tracers have been overhauled, now they look more like solid projectiles.
*You can now kick while wielding the temporary weapons.
*The teleport fog is now a Boom Tube. For consistency.
*Added Automap background.
*Fixed issues with the barrel pickup clashing with the Minigun/Chainsaw.
*Tweaked the Shotgun's accuracy just a tad.
*Charlie's functionality's been slightly tweaked.
-The swings deal more damage, and retain their bonus quantity.
-The stab deals less damage, and spawn half the bonuses.
*Enemies get knocked upwards when you hit them with a kick/uppercut.
*Harley has a separate pain sound for environmental damage.
*Harley takes less damage while wielding special weapons.
*The Ivy companion mod has a custom titlescreen when loaded with DJ!
*Updated broken links!
*Assorted fixes i don't remember right now. But they're here! And all in a slightly smaller package!

Grab here now!

W00t! This is awesome! Been looking forward to this update! Great work with adding compatibility to the other games and all the new fixes! <3

I've been enjoying this on Funnelcake Apparitions over the past few days. A frequency slider for Harley's taunts would be cool. Perhaps also a damage slider, or some option to raise damage while playing with Hexen. Hexen enemies are pretty tanky compared to Doom's, so weapons balanced for Doom monsters are pretty plinky. I found doubling damage to be enough when I played with High Noon Drifter.

I made a patch to make this a bit more compatible with Brutal Doom monsters.

Load order is BDMO > DJ > BrutalJester

Notes
-Don't melee hell nobles with anything other than the mallet without taunting them; Harley's range is low and you'll get slaughtered. You might think this goes without saying but BD Barons have high melee damage just being near them.
-DO shoot them with the boxing glove. It's funny. It also pisses them off. I would have added it to Thumper's gas grenades, but they become immune to pain after and it's counter productive with those.
-Speaking of Thumper grenades, both colors do different things to enemies when they die to the gas. You'll see.
-Due to a flag I had to add to cupcake grenades, they no longer bounce off of barrels.

Whoops. I kept deleting and reuploading after some last minute adjustments and I guess I forgot the last time. Fixed.

Added to the main thread.

Sorry for the bump, but this is important.


Updated, with 39 more voicelines, FINALLY wrapping up the main pack at 100 voicelines!

Also, UnforgivenCaleb dropped a new video on our mod (which pointed out some stuff i need to fix )! Check it out!

Alright, here's a quick and dirty update.

-(Hopefully) Fixed the Chainsaw/Berserk being given through cheats.
- Fixed the All Monsters Killed sound playing in Map 30.
- Fixed the naming issue with Hell From Earth.
-Also, now that the lid is blown, the .44 Superfreak will now randomly spawn along with a Backpack!
Primary fires a precise shot, secondary fires a wild quickdraw spread!

Quick test for an idea i've been playing around with for other mods.
Adding a a button that lets you kick independently of your weapon, so you can slide and divekick while shooting.

Also, buffed bullet-based weapons a bit. Both the shotgun, revolver and machinegun deal more damage now.

Let me know if you like this better than the previous version.

Free Kicking Test

Fixed the link's permissions. My bad.

*snip*

I see there's a particular compatibility issue with Disaster Jester, Raging Bull and Running with Chainsaws regarding BD, and that is *characters taunting randomly around gore spawners*.

It's not supposed to do that, but due to weird BD shenanigans it does.

So, along with a quick update for all three, i made a little "patched" version that fixes those issues.
