DN3D SOB Version 0.75 Changelog
Bugs
Fixed a bug that caused E1L5 to not end properly when the Battlelord was killed while standing in the lava pit in the center of the arena.
Fixed a bug that allowed actual Bosses to get sucked into the Syphon Chamber's black holes when killed causing the map to not end properly.
Frame Rate Optimizations
Reduced the amount of dust created on the floor when shooting certain weapons to optimize frame rate issues.
Tweaked the blood emitted from gibbed enemies and corpses to make them more visible and to help smooth out frame rate issues.
Optimized how the Shrapnel Storm's projectiles create impact effects to reduce frame rate drops when unloading the entire magazine into an enemy.
In the "Renderer Setup" menu the "Textures" are now set to "Bilinear" instead of "Nearest" and the "Anisotropy" is now set to "16X" by default to get the best frame rate possible on all maps with Polymost.
Did extensive fps reliant optimizations to lots of effects to significantly reduce frame rate drops.
Reduced the chance of a lag spike occuring when destroying a large group of debris laying on the floor at one time.
Weapons
Increased the Alimighty Lance's Final Strike damage and blast radius significantly.
Zsalinski Culverin
You can now collect Allied Protozoid Slimers for an ammo pickup by walking up to them if the Zsalinski Culverin does not have full ammo.
Fire Mode 3 - Along with the Protozoid Slimers, this will now also shoot out a barrage of toxic goo streams that can poison enemies upon impact and now costs 6 rounds of ammo.
Green Slimers created by the Zsalinski Culverin now properly hunt the Cycloid Incinerator.
Inhuman Devastator

Fire Mode 3 - Now able to fire mobile artillery shells when indoors in a forward moving volley but without the added cluster bomb flak damage created by the original outdoor variant.
Added new sprites for the Inhuman Devastator's Mobile Artillery projectiles.
Artillery Strikes can now be used indoors since artillery shells can be portaled in to enclosed locations.
Enemies
Added the Cycloid Incinerator boss as the final boss of episode 5.
The Cycloid Incinerator fires a barrage of laser projectiles and occasionally bouncing explosive fireballs at long range, breathes fire at close range, and can spawn in help when needed.

Pigcop variants throw out cash sometimes when killed.
Increased the size of the Megabrain sub-boss.
Added dynamic battle music that plays when near Pigboss, Lizboss, Battlelord, and Overlord sub-bosses and stops playing when they are killed or you move far enough away from them.
Added new music tracks for each end of the episode Boss battles.
Destroyed Pigcop Recon Vehicles no longer spawn 2 Pigcops or Pigcop variants, and if they don't spawn a Pigcop their gibs and blood will spray out instead upon impact.
Enemy Portals now properly spawn underwater enemies when created underwater.
When Battlelord sub-bosses get spawned into a map by an Enemy Portal they are no longer randomly replaced by another enemy type.
Frozen enemies no longer play their alert sound effect when you leave them intact and then come back later.
Commanders now have a chance of being swapped out with Gray Men if they are close to the floor.
Added an enemy called the Gray Man which revives dead non-gibbed enemies, can teleport around when fired at, can fire energy from his mind, and is protected by an energy shield until his life gets too low.
Scuba Liztroops now become floating underwater mines upon being killed but not gibbed and detonate after 4 seconds.

Turning on your Nightvision allows you to see Liztroop Captains when they are using their cloaking device.

Error compiling CON file.What's wrong?
Are u using the eduke32 exe that comes with the mod?
Yes.I don't know what i did wrong.
U must have installed it wrong. Make sure to put your duke3d.grp file into the main folder
whether it will be possible to add weapons from Bullet Storm in future updates
I’m pretty much done adding weapons. At most I might make a few capable of being dual wielded. But I’m not trying to add a whole bunch of excess weapons. The secret weapons were added just for fun but I mainly wanted a set of 10 standard weapons that were over the top and powerful which is what I did. We really don’t need anymore new weapons. There’s enough to fill all your needs.
whether there will be finishers like Brutal Doom or Extra Cripsy in future updates
Possibly. I've added the ability to kick the Liztroops when they're in their suffering state for a massive mighty boot kick that does heavy damage to surrounding enemies too. It's in the readme. I'll probably add something like that for more enemies. But I'm definitely considering finishers like in Extra Crispy too.
Please lower the reverb effect. Otherwise a great mod
What do u mean? What reverb effect?
enclosed spaces and indoor areas have a strong reverb effect for the sfx. Overlord and Flood Zone especially. Is there a way to make the reverb an option? Really loving the mod though!
That’s a part of the vanilla game. I’m not sure if that can be toned down or disabled without compiling a custom build of eduke. I’ll check it out. It is a bit overdone.
That makes sense. My apologies, I didn't know as I picked up the game to play the mod
While I'm here though, any way to beef up the Desert Eagle and the M60 firing sound? Keep up the great work!
Glad u like the mod. I don’t really see an issue with those sounds. Sorry they probably won’t be changed.
VGames Hey how's it going, hope all is well. Sorry for asking this question here but I am a fan of your work ^_^ Bloods Extra Crispy and this Duke 3D mod looks fun! Anyways I am curious if you possibly have any plans to make an awesome mod (like Extra Crispy and Savior of Babes) for Shadow Warrior? I would love to see that game have a mod like the ones I mentioned. I am talking for either a Shadow Warrior source port or even Shadow Warrior Redux. Love the game but it sadly has hardly any mods. I appreciate you reading this and sorry for long paragraph.
I would love to but as of now there is no way to mod SW like I did for Blood and Duke. SW doesn’t have a source port with scripting capabilities so u can’t add new features and enemies or weapons like I can with fresh supply or eduke. So until a source port adds scripting for SW it’s not gonna happen. But if it does happen u can bet I’ll be right there to make it happen.
Ah okay didn't know about SW not having scripting capabilities (that explains why SW doesn't have any mods really) Appreciate you replying! I tried out Duke SOB last night and it was crazy! So many changes and so much action! (I was playing the first episode of LA Meltdown on Damn I'm Good) Very awesome mod bro! Love your work and can't wait to see what you do next :)
What!? "Updated Jul 22nd, 2023"
What is changed? It is written somewhere?
Sorry but i couldn't find anything about :(
I made an article for it. Nothing new was added just an optimization to the zip file contents. 0.85 is coming very soon
