Current version available at http://armory.drdteam.org/wwmods/inprogress/ww-diaz.rar - pending addition of special effects and new HUD (if anybody's willing to help me make one). I also plan on adding melee attacks to weapons that lack altfire modes.

Changes in this version:
1. Proper chainsaw replacement - the SMG37. Ammo comes in backpacks only (this is intended). Accurate and fast, but weak. Large clips.
2. Cocking animation added to Skorpion.
3. Screwed around with the weapon numbering - the RPK is now on slot 5, the hand grenades have been moved to 6 with the RPG7, and the extra space on slot 4 is now taken by the SMG37.

The Arc Welder is supremely underpowered. IT's a BFG replacement that can't even kill a revenant with one shot. Considering it is possible to wax a Spider Mastermind with one show with the BFG, it's rather weak in comparison.

you can't kill a spider mastermind with one bfg shot..It takes at least 3

Heh, yeah it is just a wee bit underpowered. Say, hows about some disintigration frames for the human enemies to go with it?

Then you aren't using it properly. It is entirely possible to kill a spider mastermind in 1 BFG shot, though it takes a decent whack of skill to do it.

Yeah because you must risk your entire 100 health in order to make all bfg sprays hit the mastermind

Hmm, well I'm not using the Burn states for anything...I guess I could do this. As for the power...well, I made it weak because the weapon also has the ability to penetrate. I suppose I could beef it up though...enough power to one-shot an Archvile, perhaps?

That would be fine: Making a BFG replacement balanced is always a pain since the BFG has quirky behaviour in the first place.

Over the past few days, I've been working on adding melee attacks to ww-diaz. Currently I've added melee to the Colt, the mini-shotgun, and the SMG37. I will not be adding melee attacks to the grenades, the RPG, the arc-welder, or the RPK. So all I have left to do is the MarTeba, the assault shotgun, and the Skorpion.

So you're setting melee attacks to weapons which is not heavy as RPG(except grenades)?

It would be very unwieldy to be swinging an RPG-7 around (especially for someone like Miss Diaz). I would add one to the arc-welder, except there's not enough of the weapon sprite to make a convincing swinging animation. And it's just plain dangerous to be punching with a hand grenade.

Changes this version:
- Shell casings and dropped clips (borrowed code from zero prophet and xaser)
- Smoke effects
- bullet puffs (from the stranger but replaced the ricochet sounds and made the shotguns not make ricochet sounds)
- added melee attacks to the revolver and assault shotgun
- intentionally left off the melee attack for skorpion because it would be a headache to code
- fixed the smg37 clip making the wrong sound on pickup
- fixed a few other miscellaneous things
- should be mostly complete by now; if no glitches are found for a while i'll make an official release
