Well, as ragdoll as you can get with sprites.

OFFTOPIC RANT: You know, if Doom supported segmented enemies like in the old game Vector Man, you could probably simulate ragdolls.

That would be SWEET!

Updates:

- I have completely reworked the Omega Cannon. now it shoots two plasma balls at the same time. also, it has a slow rate of fire. i even replaced the weapon. now it's no longer that weapon from Hacx. i was taking a look around at the old doom armory forums and i found some kind of energy weapon that i think it's from Lifeforce Tenka. i modified the weapon a bit. i changed the hands, removed the ammo counter and replaced it with a radar from Interstate '76 Nitroriders (Nitro Pack). it would be a lot better if there was a way to make the radar actually work. it would be just like the radar plasma gun mod from Doom 3.

Updates:

- Another major changes to the Omega Cannon. Finally i found a weapon that really looks and acts the way i want. like a mass destruction weapon. now it's that weapon from red faction 2 and shoots various green and blue plasma balls at the same time. this is a small homage to the BFG 2704. the only difference is that it doesn't look like christmas.

- i'm now working on the SW Katana. I'm not going to use the bloody version.

sorry the double post but this is important.

i downloaded the gamma release of zero tolerance and i noticed one very interesting concept i want to incorporate into the Dudukrazy's guns 2 mod. i really liked the custom HUD and i want to make one for my mod. but there's two problems:

1 - I want to use the helmet-like HUD from Doom's Tecnology demo. there was a download link with the hud graphics a long time ago in the zdoom forums. but unfortunately the link is dead.

EDIT: This is the download link: http://65.190.172.84/files/alpha_hud.zip
and this is the topic where i found it: http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=5932

2 - Apparently, this involves some ACS scripting. i don't know anything about this. not even how to make this script work with ALL the default levels from Doom, Doom2 and Final Doom.

I really wish that someone could help me with this.

Updates:

- I'm finally beginning to make the mod work fine on the newest version of gzdoom. I'm still having problems with PNG transparent colors. i tried saving the images using the PNGOUT plugin but it only worked with the Pistol. the other png images still displays a cyan box around the weapon. i guess it's because they are very big. i'm not sure about that. Maybe i could change something in the PNGOUT save options menu but i don't know if i have to change some option and what option should i change.

- I had to remove the hi-res version of the M1-X pulse rifle. also, i reworked the firing animations and changed the offset.

More Updates:

- New weapon added: the Katana. (it has an alternate fire that blocks and repels every projectile attack. it renders you "invulnerable" as long as you're standing still.)

- I started working on the last weapon remaining: the fists. Is the fists from gunspc with the kick graphics from Duke3D.

As soon as i finish this weapon, i'll make some polishment. When it's finally done, i'll make the usual credits list and upload it on /idgames.

The polishment stage basically will involve doing some cosmetic changes, adding some effects, changing some sounds when needed, etc.

I decided that i'm not going to add a custom hud anymore. it's too hard to do and i don't know ACS.

I look foward to this!

Updates:

- Added an alternate attack for the fists. it's just a simple kick attack. i also added this A_Recoil(- 8 ).

- All weapons are complete.

- Removed the Chaingun. If anyone liked the weapon, i'll release it separately.

Here's the Current list of all weapons and which weapon is replaced:

Fists/Kick - Fists
Katana - Chainsaw
Colt 1911 - Pistol
Desert Eagle .50AE - Will be dropped by the shotgun guy
Benelli M3 Super 90 - Shotgun
M1-X Pulse Rifle - Chaingun
Sunspot Missile Launcher - Rocket Launcher
Plasma Rifle Mark X - Plasma Gun
Railgun - Berserk pack
Omega Cannon - BFG 9000

Now the ammo:

- The Colt 1911 and the M1-X Pulse Rifle uses the same ammo: Clip

- The Desert Eagle .50AE has it's own ammo. It replaces the Armor Bonus

- The Benelli M3 Super 90 uses the default shotgun shells

- The Sunspot Missile Launcher uses a pack of 5 missiles that replaces the Box of Rockets

- The Plasma Rifle Mark X uses the default Cells but i slightly changed the ammo amount to:

50 ammo for the Cell pickup
Max amount of 600 ammo
50 ammo when you pickup the backpack
Max amount w/backpack of 800

- The default modified Cells is also used by the Omega Cannon

Updates:

- Added casings and smoke effects for the Desert Eagle and the Benelli M3 Super 90

- The railgun is now the Impulse Rifle from Hired Team: Trial. (The weapon is pretty beautiful. Specially the camo skin. It could be perfectly used in a mod like Hellops*)

*is this mod still alive? I only remember of the Spas-12 with that camo skin.

- Added some better sounds for the Colt 1911, Benelli M3 Super 90 and Sunspot Missile Launcher.

- Speaking about sounds, should i keep the default GZDoom railgun sound or should i add the SW Railgun sound?

Now i need to add the muzzleflash for the Plasma Rifle Mark X and then i'll do some more tests and send the final beta to Chronoteeth. As soon as i think it's ok, i will upload the mod on /idgames.

I'm pretty tired of the default railgun sound - any change is more than welcome!

Updates:

- Added the SW Railgun sound. don't worry about having to listen to the default railgun sound.

- Added a muzzle flash to the Plasma Rifle Mark X. It's a recolored imp fireball death sequence.

Updates:

- Removed the custom doom hud and Duke3d numbers.

- While i was talking to Wildweasel, he pointed me a lot of issues regarding sounds, weapon balance, etc. i solved them all, i guess.

But unfortunately, after talking to Chronoteeth, i'm now dealing with two heavily different opinions. on one hand, Wildweasel thinks that everything's okay. (that's what i understood. correct me if i'm wrong.) but on the other hand, Chronoteeth had told me about issues with the Desert Eagle size and the Pulse Rifle. I really don't know what should i do about this. If i follow Wildweasel's opinion, i can finally upload the mod. And if i follow Chronoteeth's opinion, this will mean more work for me since i'll probably have to replace two weapons that i like a lot. and i just want to upload the mod now and finish this long work.

Its just an opinion GAWD

Upload the mod, and if you're not sure it's perfect, call it an ULTRA MEGA BETA edition or something. :)
