I forgot to rename VenomGun to MG43. Mea Culpa.
Fixed.

Decided to make an account so I could post a few of my own ideas on the topic of ammo balancing on this thread.

1. Replace the Luger with an M1911. Higher damage but lower accuracy and it would seem only right for a Wolflike. Starts with 140 rounds in reserve and ammo pickups are rare, maybe in the form of supply drops. This would give the player impetus to use different weapons due to it's low ammo droprate, but it's min-max stats would allow it to be useful as a close-range panic weapon.
2. Make the STEN use Subsonic ammo. Seeing as you're planning on supressing it in time, it would seem only right to replace it's ammunition type with one that would work better with this. The only difference is slightly lower projectile speed and faster bullet drop when compared to the MP40/I, but nothing that noticeable.

Ended up typing the whole lot anyways. Feel free to ignore if things aren't fitting to the final vision and the like, but I still have to get it off of my chest.

Attempted to implement some of what I mentioned here myself. Some things are still a mystery to me like how to make that proper double mag MP40/I a thing, but for the most part I got a lot here integrated decently. Not gonna release the addon for the moment 'cause of lack of credits, but it's still on going.

Stuff I did:

Code: Select all

- Replaced sounds with the ones I used in my BoA Personal Addon.
- Made HUD colored. Personal taste reasons.
- Rifle and shotgun HUD ammo sprites. Appreciated seeing the setup already been done for me.
- Sounds to knife. New puff so I could have wall hit sounds.
- Unique grenade, geballte, and dynamite explosion sounds. Bouncing sounds reintegrated.
- Made the geballte heavier.
- Made knife slightly snappier. OG felt too smooth.
- Additional reloading frames for all weapons that reload. The G43 one got a little overlap with the grenade reload, but I handwave it for reasons of "loading blank round" or something.
- Got rid of the firemodes for both P38 and Sten. Mainly to avoid overlaps with their counterpart weapons and 'cause I'm pretty sure the Sten only has integral suppressed variants.
- Accuracy adjustments for the pistols. None are perfectly accurate with every shot, but the P38 is more accurate.
- Turned off autofire on the P38. Again, to disrupt potential overlaps.
- No firemodes for Trenchgun, must hit altfire after firing to slamfire. BA5 is faster and easier in comparison.
- Made MP40/I reloading longer to fit the idea that you're loading 2 mags in instead of 1, sound from my addon modified to fit.
- Set A_AlertMonsters radius in both Sten and P38 to be different. You can alert monsters if you fire too close. P38 is quieter.
- Fixed K98k reloading foley timing 'cause it was triggering late in the OG, starting after KriegsGuy pulls the bolt. Aggravates the heck out of me.
- Added background to scope. Personal taste reasons, not fond of fake open scopes.
- Lowered K98k reload offsets further. Felt it was still too visible when loading rounds.
- Replaced the G43 rifle nade sprite on the HUD to be consistent with the world sprites.
- Set the G43 rifle nade on the HUD to the top of the rifle instead of the side.
- Lowered Venomgun offsets to hide the ammo belt. There's no ammo tracking in the code, so the belt's still visible even when you have no rounds.

I like the new knife much better... Also I noticed quickly if you use it with berserk, it will refill your health
But yeah, if we need to use knife on low ammo, it is nice to have a strong and sharp knife

Awesome sprites. Are you planning to add compatibility with blade of agony?

[ZikShadow]

I don't think something like that is feasible, considering the amount of effort needed to make Kriegspfad's stuff fit with BoA's mechanics.
On the HUD front alone Ac!d would need to create and set-up custom graphics for weapons like the Tesla Cannon or the Blade of Agony itself.
