War Rooster v1.3 (20/08/2022)

[CasualScrub]

I would agree with Cosmobyte that the arsenal as it stands is solid, and adding more guns risks redundancy. Grenades are probably the only thing I can think of being worth adding in.

Otherwise, a scope for the M14 would be good to make it more practical for long-range, either as something it comes with or as something you can find for it.

I mean, I have no problems dropping the full auto capability from the M14.

If it gets an upgrade, give it a scope AND a twenty-round box.

Oh, something else I just thought of: any chance of a version that doesn't override the title/intermissions or silence the music when there are no monsters? That's about the only thing I don't like about a lot of mods I've been playing with lately.

hmmmm... i suppose i can.

Try loading this after War Rooster, i haven't really tested it, but since it's the same name, it should work.

Works for keeping the music playing with no monsters, thanks. I know the other stuff would need more than just a quick patch to deal with, maybe something for after the next major version if there's enough interest.

Honestly, if a custom titlescreen/menu and intermission screen are that much of an issue, you can just open it on SLADE and delete it, or load the mods that change said screens after the offending mod, instead.

That's the thing, the title screen and intermission for a lot of more recent weapon mods still override those of the maps no matter what order I load them in. I get why War Rooster's title specifically takes priority since it makes use of a titlemap, but even stuff that doesn't - like, say, Raging Bull - also overrides the map's title screen no matter what order I load them in.

Oh well, this is mostly on me for insisting on playing absolutely everything with certain weapon mods, I can live with it. All that actually gets in the way for me personally is the music being muted/replaced when everything's dead, and so far that's either an easy fix (the quick patch for War Rooster) or not a big deal (Raging Bull, Azuryte et al. only mute the music specifically with 100% kills, and not when there are no monsters in the first place like in a credits map).

For titlescreens, open the MAPINFO/ZMAPINFO and place two backslashes (//) on the following: TitlePage, CreditPage, InfoPage, TitleMusic and IntermissionMusic.
