Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

I know, i know. It's cool to have a lot of guns. I have a few things in mind, but i don't see much more than one or two weapons being added to the roster. I think the arsenal is pretty big as it is. For a short answer, i have nothing in mind now, but let's wait and see.

EDIT:

To avoid letting people curious about how the new water effects look:



I was inspired by HEXERETICDoom and his Heretic fantasy mod. I gathered the Shadow Warrior water textures and edited all the 15 of them to make them translucent and add a ground from Hexen below it. That'll be mentioned on the credits list on v1.4.

Ooh, neat! Love interactivity with the environments!

Also love the new HUD, the revolver damage boost is surprising but welcome - I think its a perfect weapon/sidearm at the moment. I personally like it currently always using speedloaders, I find that single loading vs speedloading in games (helldivers 2 for example) just encourages firing off rounds needlessly to gain the speed boost of a speedloader.

Also if its any consolation I'd have to agree I like the current amount of weapons, I find too many weapons just make the game feel more bloated. (Hot take) I think a good example of this is Project Brutality. Love the enemies, but having 5'ish weapons per slot with 3'ish functions each just a bit much. However, I think upgrades are a different story, but as-is I'm absolutely loving its current state!

Yeah, I'd think of it more as a replacement for the prior weapon so it makes more sense than carrying around 4-5 shotguns, 3 full rifles, etc. More gear and items are always welcome too!

Mod was updated to v1.4!

I wasn't meant to update it so soon, but i forgot some essential credits, and if you played the mod for longer than 10 minutes, you realized the keys placement was going over the health bars.

Here's the changelog:
- Small sound tweaks in the knife;
- Fixed keys on the HUD covering the bars;
- Fixed column prop not having bright lights;
- Fixed missing sprites of the XDeath mugshot;
- Added a secondary bright point to the normal lamp;
- Hunting shotgun now chambers a round after loading (Thanks to TheRailgunner);
Unless any of you find a game breaking bug, this will be a stalling point for now! Enjoy!

Great mod. One thing I'd like to see is an optional Condemned-style ammo system, needing to hold down R to see the remaining bullets in the mag.
