YAY POST!

I missed you ^_^

I took your advice and used 1.0.21, but this mod is still highly unstable and buggy. Not to mention, I think I see a few of my weapons from The Stranger in there - the personal defense shotgun and satchel charges, with only very slight modifications to damage and sound effects. This is most noticeable in the fact that selecting either of them enables instant weapon switching on the player, which is something I had to do in The Stranger to allow for custom raise/lower animations.

So unless you/Guest planned on putting my name in the credits somewhere (or even making a credits listing to begin with), I'd like to ask that you remove those weapons in favor of something else.

Hi all!

Certenly.

I need more information. Of course there are several errors in mod, but it would be nice if you will list some of them.

Okay, running through the mod again and taking notes of everything I've encountered...

- The flamethrower (slot 6) utterly destroys framerate on its altfire when fired at least three times, on my Pentium D 3.0 GHz. When fired five times or more, the framerate dies to the point where I have to hold down my F10 key for at least a second before the quit dialog appears.
- "Unknown inventory item: PEBinCheckOn" is displayed at startup. Presumably a code typo somewhere.
- It's very easy to kill yourself with the plasma pistol (slot 6) altfire and the ice cannon on slot 7. Furthermore, the plasma pistol seems too powerful for a weapon that is dropped by the modified zombiemen (I managed to obtain two in Map01).
- Can't remember how I managed to do it, but somehow I made the mod crash by using the Options weapon on Slot 0.
- Isn't there a +DONT_BOB flag for weapons? That might come in handy for the Options menus.
- The M16's fire button layout is counter-intuitive. Most FPS games will have the weapon shoot when the primary trigger is pressed, and the melee attack when the secondary trigger is pressed. This mod has it backwards - Mouse 1 stabs with the bayonet, Mouse 2 fires. Took me a minute to figure out why my M16 wasn't firing.

True. But the fire looks like the real and i don't want to spoil it redusing the number of projectiles. May be i should try to set some limitation on tthe number of simultaneous fires?

And you easely kill yourself with standart rocket launcher due to inaccurate using. This is quite proper drawback of power weapons (IMHO).
As to the plasma pistol - yes, it's slightely owerpowered but due to monster randomization mechanizm they become more aggressive and dangerous, so i'm not shure that plasma pistol makes some problems... Anyway, which of the attacks looks more unbalanced?

There are two reasons:
1) I decide to make the melee attack as main atack when you run out of ammo firing another weapon (but in this version the feature doesn't works properly due to when i coded the binocular i forget to set Weapon.SelectionOrder so it has maximum priority)
2) The melee attack has rather long reach distance so you may for example to kill revenant without getting harm, but such trick needs some skill (each error turns pain) and to press primary attack is more... ghm ...convinient.

Yeeeeeaeh!
Me to , dude...

F*ck this life...To many problems in our damned country...

The key 0 thingy is odd and buggy. For starters, where's the dual pistols? Also, the "blue" single pistol reload doesn't work.

I have made some changes at last moment and create new errors that way

"The key 0 thingy" is just auxiliary instrument which helps to change the configuration in the current game. I use FSGLOBAL lump to store the default configuration.

"Dual pistols" is the plasma pistol switch (if there aren't another errors) - "red mode" means that the reloading is on and "blue mode" means that the weapon doesn't demand the reloading.
In FSGLOBAL to turn on the reloading of plasma pistol you shoud replace the line "giveinventory(0, "PEPlasmaReload", 0);" by "giveinventory(0, "PEPlasmaReload", 1);". If something don't work properly that means i wasn't accurate enough when made last changes.

Single pistol: initially i made a pistol with two-level reloading - you have to change the clip in pistol and to reload the clip itself. The process of reloading can't be braked (to simplify the coding of process) so to reduce the chanse that you'll be surrounded by enemies with empty pistol i add as secondary attack the reloading of spare clip (up to 4 clips) - if your pistol empty and there is a spare clip you reload pistol as usual. But such process seemed quite annoing, so i made pistol with simple reloading instead. If you want to see the initial pistol just rename in KEYCONF and FSGLOBAL "PEDesertEagle" to "PEDesertEagle2"

I was going to create an universal mod, that means the full feature control. Don't want new monsters? Turn off them! You want to change the puff effect to something else? Just turn this switch...
...unfortunally every time you use JumpIfInventory the Zdoom engine check if the describing actor belongs to player's inventory and this cuts off the possibility to variate the most features (don't say about JumpIftargetInventory - to manipulate the player's inventory much more easier rather than hte target actor's one). The reloading switch is made just for demonstration.[/b]
