This is all of the new code I placed in. I don't see what the fuck Zdoom is talking about.

Example 2 and 3 have three "{" but only two "}".

I've tested the mod a lot and haven't found any really glaring balance issues, but the Colt pistol kinda bugs me - it seems I spend more time reloading it than I do firing it, especially with the altfire mode. I think you should either increase the clip size or make it a tiny bit more powerful (while cutting the speed down a notch).

Ah. Yeah, I was actually a bit conflicted with the Colt. I had the strength originally at 9, but shooting really fast would sometimes gib the zombiemen, so I changed it to either 8 or 8.5 for the strength. I don't remember. I think I'll change the clipsize for it. How's 10 sound?
Oh yeah, I got the Rifle to work, reloading included I just had to change a few numbers around to get it to work how I want it too.
As for a progess report, here's what I did:
*Make the Infantry Rifle.
*Change the Pistol's stats (increased strength, increase ammo capacity to 10).
*Made some minor tweaks to the Magnum and Akimbo SMG stats (made both of them a bit stronger)
*Made some minor tweaks to the Akimbo SMGs'/SMG's reloading animation.
*Made some misc. sprites.
*Changed the weapon order around.

That sounds fine. But if you don't want your bullet-based weapons to gib enemies, just add the +NOEXTREMEDEATH flag to the weapon.

BTW, a hitscan attack with damage 8 can still gib zombiemen: If it does 8*2 and then 8*3 damage, you'll deal 40 damage upon the fatal shot which means gibbage for Mr. Z Man

Ah, ok. I'll do that.
BTW, I guess the Infantry Rifle isn't as bugless as I thought it was. I can still reload even though I have full ammo in my magazine.

Your A_JumpIfNoAmmo and Goto Fire+7 go one step too far I.E It should be A_JumpIfNoAmmo(5) so the dryfire sound is played and Goto Fire+6 so the weapon checks if the clip is full (It was skipped before)

Label Reload is actually Fire + 6, (oops, TDA even said this in front of me!) but the label there reads Fire + 10. You might want to correct the offset counts as well to make things easier to debug in the future. (deletes banter about the last jump being Fire + 29 when it is not)
(hopes the next version with custom states comes out soon, and also hopes that jumping to states from JumpIf also happens at the same time)

Well, things are looking good now. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm going to try and make a Flamethrower for this mod, but I don't how I would code it. Are there any good tutorials or examples out there?
Posted: Mon Dec 25, 2006 3:32
by DoomRater
Well, personally I like mine from the ARW. I never really liked how they were implemented on other mods, with a single projectile like a plasma rifle with a range limit stuff. Alternatively, you could make the projectiles with lowgravity and make them burn on death... I haven't seen any flamethrowers like that!

That kind of sounds like the Turok 2 Flamethrower how it's affected by gravity. Maybe I can do that! Hmm... now how would the coding look like?
Posted: Mon Dec 25, 2006 8:22
by lizardcommando
Well, I just finished the graphics for the flamethrower. It's pretty basic looking. I just need to find some sounds for when it shoots and also some fire sprites. Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find some nice looking fire sprites? Also need to find some nice fire sounds too.
