Nightmare Logic II V1.3 (11/02/24)

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

39 years prior to the circumstances that led to the first Nightmare Logic, another task force was sent to accomplish a mission that involved securing the integrity of online databases due to a possibly irreversible accident.

In my 14th mod, you'll be entering the world of survival horror again, to play with a tactical arsenal against whatever monsters you desire. This time i challenged myself to make an even smaller mod while keeping the soul of the orginal. The results are something you'll have to check by yourself.


(Also compatible with Hexen and Heretic!)


Learn a few things before you hop in:

---

Most of these are also avaiable on quit messages, but it doesn't hurt to say it twice:

- You can use your nightvision anytime, anywhere, just by defining a key.

- Use your quick kick if you feel surrounded. Define a key in "Mod Options".

- When crouching, press "jump" to perform a roll. This roll reduces incoming damage.

- The MP5SD is the only silenced weapon in the game. Don't stand too close to monsters.

- Burst-fire weapons have higher damage values than full auto ones.

- Aside from the shotguns and the MGL32, All guns can have a +1 round in the chamber.

MELEE (Slot: 1)

When a monster is too close or you have no ammo left, a good kick will put things in its place. You have both a dedicated slot to it and also the option to define a quick kick key in the mod options.


G17 (Slot: 2)

This polymer weapon was created in the 80's and is used by both civilians and military applications alike. Chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, has a good stopping power and can be used to plink down lesser enemies during your journey. Won't refire if you hold the mouse, but can be tap-fired for a higher DPS rate than the 92F. Avaiable with the "November" loadout.


92F (Slot: 2)

An Italian prodigy developed in the late 70's. Used by many teams for being robust, ergonomic and trustworthy. While not as fast firing as the G17, the higher damage output and higher accuracy will make up if you want to neutralize the enemy. Can refire if you hold the mouse button. Avaiable with the "Lima" loadout.


SPAS (Slot: 3)

Following on the Italian trend, the SPAS (acronym for Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun) loads 12G shells to absolutely destroy whatever comes across your way. It's a relatively late spawn in the game and ammo is quite hard to come across, although not as hard as its bigger brother. Spawns in Plasma Rifle spots.


MK3A2 (Slot: 3)

This rather unusual prototype allows the weapon otherwise known as "Jackhammer" to load and fire 10G shells for a higher destructive power. Even being bulky and slow, the MK3A2 will make up for being the strongest weapon you can have at hand. Ammo is scarce. Spawns in BFG9000 spots.


UZI (Slot: 4)

Israeli submachinegun developed in the 50's. The high modularity and compact design allowed this weapon to survive decades of competition with little to no changes in the base structure. Fires 9x19mm Parabellum rounds at 1050rpm. The only downside is a lesser accuracy and small magazine. Spawns in Chainsaw spots.


MP5SD (Slot: 4)

A German weapon widely used by special teams around the globe. Fires 9x19mm Parabellum, but only in bursts. Said limitation comes with accuracy boosts, as well as a integrated suppressor that won't alert monsters unless you are at a really close range. Spawns in Chaingun spots.


M4A1 (Slot: 5)

North-american assault rifle developed in the late 80's. Has a lightweight body and powerful stopping power. Probably your workhorse from the moment you get it. Fires 30+1 5.56x45mm rounds. Spawns in shotgun spots.


OICW (Slot: 5)

Otherwise known as a failed project, the OICW (short for Objective Individual Combat Weapon) is versatile and powerful. Has a higher damage output than the M4A1. If you happen to have grenade rounds at your disposal, you can press Altfire to blast enemies in the same way you would do with the MGL32, albeit on a slower pace. Carries 45 units of 5.56x45mm rounds, and can only fire in bursts. And to top it off, you can also press your zoom key to use a long scope! Spawns in Super Shotgun spots.


MGL32 (Slot: 6)

No mission is complete without the aid of an explosive device. The MGL32 is capable of firing 6 rounds of 40x46mm grenades at a long range, neutralizing everything in the area. Has a good firing rate and ammunition can be found not only in rocket spots, but also in some bonus health and armor items. Watch out when firing it close to walls. Spawns in Rocket Launcher spots.

Congrats on the release, chief! It's been amazing to watch this shape up, and i'm amazed you managed to fit even more weapons in an even smaller package!

Extremely Common Comsobyte W

I absolutely love how death screens are becoming more frequent in gameplay mods, at least I feel it is

[Artman2004]

The OICW primary fire doesn't seem to do any damage, or consume any ammo.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Works on my end using LZDoom. I have received a feedback similar to that and the solution involved turning on a CVAR back again. Try turning the Zoom on.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

I was about to take a little break from modding this week, but this first release had a few errors that needed to be corrected.

Changelog is annexed in the file, but it won't hurt to post it here as well. The firing bugs are fixed, code is looking better and some weapons have a better polishment. Have fun!

V1.1
-----
18 AUG 2023

- Fixed a bug regarding hitscan weapons not being able to fire when a CVAR was disabled;
- The same bug also interfered with the MK3A2 overlay scales, making it not reset to default;
- New reload offsets for the XM29, credited to wildweasel, with more detail and smaller size;
- Fixed the M4A1 having 20 bullets in the magazine rather than 30 on startup;
- XM29 now plays a reload animation each time it fires a grenade (it'll zoom out if you're firing zoomed);
- OICW has a bigger speed penalty than the other weapons whenever you're carrying it;
- M4A1 and MP5SD pickup sprites were reworked to look more like the HUD sprites;
- Some new functions via code were added to make the weapons work better, thanks to Ac!d;
- MP5SD has a new sound that better represents its silenced nature;
- Weapon code is more streamlined and easy to read.

Hope you're all enjoying the mod.

I've noted down a few things for a v1.2 update, but will still take me some days to update it, since I'm on vacations. In the meantime, Tyrant120 has recorded a little match using NL2 against another mod of my own,
Carnivore Disaster.

Give the man a shout in his channel, there is some great stuff in there!

[That0neBr075]

Very good mod as always! Only real suggestion is to maybe increase the player's movement speed when they're switched to Melee, (mostly so you can get to certain secrets or make jumps that require more speed) but besides that, guns are very crisp, and the death screens are pretty funny. Good Stuff!

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Thanks a lot man! Expect updates in some weeks!

[meppycola]

what monster mod were you using in that demo video?

[dawnbreez]

When Always Run is on, pressing the run button slows you down...but *also* consumes stamina. Which is kind of annoying, because the walk speed when Always Run is *off* is painfully slow.

That having been said: That's my only problem with this so far.

[-Ghost-]

Fun little mod! I think my only issues with it are the sprint time feels a little short and could be longer for slime pools and such, and too many of the weapons share the same ammo. I know it's probably the goal of the mod to keep ammo types etc. down, but it feels like all they double or triple dip too much on the same ammo pools so once you get the rifle, smg etc. you don't use the others.

An unreleased mod from a friend; sorry for teasing you in the wrong way. But as soon as it is released, i might link it here in the thread!

That's one of the biggest complaints so far, hehe. I am aware but i don't know if i can fix it due to the sprint code being literally copypasted from another mod (with proper authorizations, of course). If i can come up with a way, i'll address this issue.

I see where you go to; i tried balancing weapons using accuracy, damage and firing rate. Weapons like the XM29 are stronger than the M4A1, however it only fires in bursts (a reason why this mod has no switch mode altfires in general), or sometimes it has painfully less accuracy. Next update (which will come out pretty soon), will nerf the grenade time of the XM29 a bit, switch refire function between shotguns (the SPAS was obsolete aside the different ammo), mong other small points.

Thanks for all the feedback so far!

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

After some days of vacations (and having to come back to work tomorrow), i decided to upload this v1.2 build of the mod for you guys. I've rebalanced the XM29 grenade, Switched the automatic fire functions between shotguns so the SPAS doesn't become obsolete, added an overhealth bar and increased the sprint time. I've also done some slight changes to scripts and some code, but nothing major. Have fun!

v1.2
-------
04 SEP 2023

- Added another quit message;
- Resized the MP5SD pickup down and the XM29 pickup up;
- SPAS now has automatic fire and MK3A2 needs to be tap fired;
- Increased OICW grenade cooldown time;
- Sprint time slightly increased;
- Reduced transparency of the OICW scope;
- Added a intermission screen;
- Added an overhealth bar;
- Slightly recolored the Uzi pickup;

[schkorpio]

Very cool. Are there any mods that allow us to peak from cover or around corners line on CoD Warzone? I think that would add to the tactical game play.
