Weasel's Mods

HA! HA!

The auto pistol is COMPLETELY IMPLEMENTED and works to my specifications! Here's the specifics on it:

- 4 damage per bullet.
- 30 round clip, bullet ammo
- Very inaccurate
- As fast-firing as Strife's assault gun
- Has a 1 in 51 chance of jamming and must be cocked with the right mouse button (which also works as a manual reload button)

Let us toast to this victory!

The Stranger

Last progress for today...

Assault Rifle now uses its own ammo type (Cells), which I have made Decorate replacements for and added unique sounds for, but haven't got graphics imported yet
KEYCONF lump finalized
Crossbow added and complete, barring balance issues
Seriously tweaked out the palette to make the colors more faded
Imported the rocket launcher graphics from Seriously - they will become the anti-armor rocket launcher
Auto pistol now has a pickup sound
Fixed a glitch where Crossbow's ammo wasn't showing up on the ground
Fixed a missing frame in the Knife attack sequence
Switched the Power Shotgun and Spec-Ops shotguns - now the Power Shotgun spawns in place of Doom's Supershotgun
Because I'm using real Cell ammo now, I moved the Magnum ammo off of the Cell spawns and instead made it spawn with Bullets (6-shot speedloader spawns with Clips, 12-shot box spawns with ClipBoxes)

Such a seeexy automag MK.

Spec-Ops Shotgun's clip was increased to 8 shells from 5.
Toned down the power of a thrown knife, and increased the power of the melee attack.
Crossbow now spawns in place of Invisibility.

Crossbow made by nmn, given to WW by yours truly.

Ahh.. I've been waiting a long time to see that in the game

The Stranger

Crossbow's attack now works to optimal standards - it has an X-offset and uses ammo now.
Added graphics for Rifle Ammo pickups.
Adjusted the palette even more - tones are subdued to the point that, if I were to take them down any more, it would be in black and white. It looks fantastic.
The rocket launcher is added, but I still need to add its reload sequence.
Color-corrected a frame from the Crossbow's loading sequence - it was too light compared to the others, making it appear to flash when reloading.

The Stranger

Added hand grenades and satchel charges from Mixed Tape #2.
The mod underwent some stress testing today.
All I should have left to do now are to finish up the dual revolvers, make the Demon Arm, the Stun Gun, and the "Flying Disc" (I think I'm going to use the sawblade graphics from warzon_x - since there aren't really any good steel boomerang graphics, unless somebody's willing to make some for me). Then I'll add miscellaneous effects like shell casings and smoke, and call it good.

More stress testing, and I'm glad I did - a few major bugs fixed.
I accidentally left AMMO_OPTIONAL on the crossbow, so it could still shoot even if you were out of ammo.
The auto-pistol now does 5.5 damage instead of 4. Now it can actually kill things without wasting an entire clip.
I'm thinking about making an extra alt-fire on the crossbow that ignites the arrow and enables the player to set enemies on fire. Since the flame-deaths are already implemented (thanks to the flame zombie that's been in since mixed1) all I have to do is make the new projectile graphics and code.

Hmm... just a completely random idea for the fire-arrow altfire: It would be awesome if you (er... 'the stranger', I guess) lit the arrow on fire by actually bringing up a lighter and visibly lighting the arrow, launching it afterwards. That's just sort of a random idea I came up with a bit earlier, and I think it would fit quite well, really.

That should be easy. Considering there's actually a nice Doomguy lighter out there, it'll be even easier.

The Stranger

The shotguns were both changed, and they reload twice as fast as before. I got sick of being cornered by Imps while reloading, so now the Stranger loads a shotgun in about two and a half seconds.
Changed the platform moving sounds, mainly for Kama Sutra Map06 - the stopping sound was just too loud, and since it plays repeatedly and can be heard halfway across the level, I decided to pick something a bit quieter.

Wait footprint sounds? How the hell is that possible?

NJSPLASH.wad has footfall sounds for all the Doom flats. It's not real footsteps - it's only impact sounds for things hitting the ground. I've already used NJSPLASH in the two Mixed Tapes and ww-ana, so odds are you've seen it before.

The Stranger

Thus concludes another long night of modding...

Glock was axed - the new starting pistol is a Luger Parabellum.
The assault rifle's graphics were changed to new ones.
I'll probably do some switching around with weapon spawns again - the magnum will be rarely dropped by Shotgunners, the Stun Gun will take its place, the Assault Rifle will be rarely dropped by Chaingunners, and in place of the Chaingun's spawn will be the Heavy Machine Gun.
I should take this moment to say that the Chapel Cross may have to be axed. It just takes up too much of the screen, and it makes the game no fun.
