[0.10.6] Gun Bonsai -- everything-compatible weapon upgrading

[Dan_The_Noob]

(At Dan)
Saying revivify is quite underwhelming? I do like it, at least when the proc occurs on a former dead corpse. Not exactly often which is sadly a bit of a downside to it. I do feel like it could use something... But I am not sure what.

the concept of revivify is cool. but the fact this mod is basically for making stupid hard stuff into fun hard stuff means the revived enemy usually just dies right away or contributes to lag in some cases (though this is much more rare)

Yeah, that is right where I agree to. Mostly in the case as it may still be one or two of them versus the hoard, but generally lack any buff to probably make them as worthwhile as I see really.

ya, could probably even remove the effect or limit it to 1 at a time but extra buff.

Hmm... After thing for quite a bit, perhaps the more levels reviv goes up, aside from the chance improvements (maybe tweaked?), they could be buffed more and more each level. Seems a bit fairer as the revived ghosties do only live once after all.

That already happens -- they get +20% damage dealt and -20% damage taken (with diminishing returns on the latter, so they never become invincible -- maybe I should tweak that, since they're now guaranteed to die after a certain time limit anyways) per level of revivification.

it almost seems like showing some of the math or at least indication what goes up per level on the tooltip might be a valuable update.

[Starman the Blaziken]

Aw, so that revivify timer is a thing now. Liked it when they stayed around, makes them valuable until the very end when they are not causing issues I heard about. I just know as a ghost they vanish on death so anything that can res will not be a devilish bunch.
But I do agree, a more detailed stat probably should have been a suggestion of mine from the beginning, but I am not sure what you might have taken either by a constantly updating system or just static to take your priority.
Mmm, but something in me makes me think that a time increaser could make it good. Maybe in a branched upgrade, the upgrade itself, or maybe after enough it becomes available? Who knows what Toxi might think, but eh I think it would be good for the longevity for revived allies that survive the battles.

Shotguns seem to be the only weapons that work with the Rapid Fire upgrade, wierdly enough. That or janky melee weapons in other mods.

this is a good mod but for the life of me I can't figure out what min 2 means? It's part of the description in damage upgrades. What does it mean?

this means, for example.

say a pistol does 1 damage (it doesn't, but jus pretend)
then +20% would be 1.2 damage.
but instead, it will apply a flat +2
so it'd become 3 damage.

[sibullski]

thanks for the reply. So does that mean that the min 2 will put the damage directly at 20 percent instead because it subtracts .2 So then without the -2 it would round up to a higher amount of damage? I still don't understand it.

I think the wording needs to be changed because I also didn't understand it at first, i mean who has time to read when your slaying demons

it's just saying that "if 20% of the current damage is not more than 2, add 2 instead" at least that's my understanding.
it's so weapons like the chaingun get a noticeable increase in damage.

I would like the math itself to be either added to the tooltips or added as an option to replace the current tooltips.

[sibullski]

oh ok. So .2 is added in cases where 20 percent isn't .2 ok that makes sense thankyou.

[Dan_The_Noob]

yeah so say a rocket does 100 damage, it would add 20. because 20 is more than 2

[Gourry]

Not sure if mentioned yet, vm abort also with revivificaton from the lightning tree. This is also with project brutality 3.0. This was from a thorn skill counter to revive a chaingun guy.
Currently using gzdoom 4.10.0
