Tomtefar's Extension V1.12 addon - Brutal Doom mod for Doom

Introduction (what is this?)

For information on latest changes, see the bottom of this page.

This mod aims to extend Brutal Doom with new weapons, items, enemies, bugfixes and balance changes, as well as options to customize the game for your own liking.
I work with the mindset that "less is more", so this mod does not include "a heck load of new stuff" but rather aims to perfect things and make Brutal Doom feel more complete.

Please note that the mod is not playable by it's own, it has to be loaded together with Brutal Doom.

I've been working on this mod for some years just for fun and had at the beginning no intention to release anything of it to the public, therefore there might be some people missing in the credits. I have really lost track of every sprite, sound and mod that I have used in some way throughout the years, so if you find some credits missing, please contact me: daniel.kjellin.88@gmail.com

Also, any of the stuff that I've made are free for anyone to use and modify in any way. No need to ask first.
I would love to know if you've been using any of it in your mod though.
Please note that some sprites are also made by other people that might want to give permission before use. Check the included readme-file for a full list of credits.

If you find any bugs, or have any questions. Just leave a reply below or send me an email.

Whats included?

The two lead words for my mod is Quality and Rebalance.

Quality:
* All weapons should feel complete, have no missing or missaligned sprites, get full brightmaps and feel powerful and satisfying to use.
* There should be as few bugs as possible.
* Items, enemies and FX should have brightmaps and lightning where it fits.

Rebalance:
* No weapon should be too powerful, and no weapon should feel useless. Every weapon has it's place and uses.
* Weapons that share the same ammunition may split in using different ammunition, if it helps the above statement.
* Enemies that feel weak compared to vanilla doom will get buffed, and gets some new tricks to use.

A part from the new weapons this is some of the major things that has been changed:
(for a full detailed changelog, see the readme file)

• Option to select between toggable/holdable ADS-mode.
• Options to turn off a lot of stuff added in BDv21.
• Option to play 32-map wads in random order.
• Hand grenades can be rolled.
• Many weapons have been slightly remade and should feel more powerful.
• New and stronger BFG 9000.
• Chainsaw is buffed and has a chance to give cruelty bonuses.
• Barons of hell & Hell knightw has improved green blood, gibs and fully destroyable bodies.
• Cacodemons has some new death animations and all bodies are fully destroyable.
• Three new enemies: SSG-wielding zombie, Phantom and Ifrit.
• Updated some explosion, smoke, fire, water and plasma effects.
• The Super Shotgun will now spawn in Doom1, FreeDoom1 and DTWID maps.
• Some updated and smoothed sprites.
• Some bugfixes.
• Improved lightning effects and brightmaps.

Some weapons have a few pixels changed in some places. Most noticable is the machinegun.
All weapons have recieved what I call "Smoothed animations" that means that:

• There's more frames in the weapons animations.
• The weapon won't pop up/out when selecting/deselecting.
• The weapon won't disappear when kicking, taunting or throwing grenades.
• The weapon takes the same amount of time to select and deselect as all other weapons.
• Any missaligned sprites has been fixed.

Comparisons

These animated gifs shows some of the graphical changes.
They look even better in-game.

Fire

• The updated fire FX has flickering red/yellow light added, and all frames have full brightness.
• Also note that the weapon is now centered under the crosshair.

Flashlight

• The flashlight (currently only as a pistol attachment) has three selectable modes:
  Simple flying point of light, as in normal BDv21.
  High quality light cone that gets wider but weaker by distance.
  Low quality light cone, which has the same brightness but is lighter on the CPU.

Green gibs

• The hell nobles have more different gibs, more gib variations, and more gibs are destroyable.
  Also, it's not just a big green mess, but things like brain pieces and guts are red/pink.

Items

• All orb powerups emit light and slowly bob up and down.
  Some items have received brightmaps, such as Cellpack and Plasmagun showed here.
  There's also some updated sprites with better quality (Minigun box).

Machinegun

• This image shows an example of some minor changes done to some sprites.
  The weapons right side and handle are much more smooth, and some odd pixels are fixed (thumb).
  This image also shows the indicator that the machineguns grenade launcher is loaded.

Mod and maps support

The great 32 map wad Eviternity is supported by the mod. All new enemies has been updated "brutal doom style" and some maps has recieved a few tweaks and updates. If you haven't tried this map pack yet, I highly suggest you go ahead and download it now:

The new weapons

The new weapons can spawn in two places:
They replace the chainsaw once you have picked one up.
They have a 30% chance to spawn instead of another weapon. See their descriptions.

Note: each of the new weapons can be disabled in the mods options menu.

Combat Knife (slot 1)

• The weapon is currently in beta. And is not 100% done. Feedback is appreciated.
  More stuff regarding the knife will come in a future update.
• You can currently only get this weapon by select to start with it, or summon it with the console.
• The knife is a completely silent weapon with the ability to "stunlock" enemies because of it's high pain-state.
• The altfire uses a charged stabbing attack that leaves a bleeding wound on enemies, causing them to lose life over time.

Pistol (slot 2)

• The beretta uses 9mm ammunition (together with the MP40 and SMG) and can either be found besides the bodies of your fellow marines, or be selected as a starting weapon.
• Two attachements (upgrades) to the pistol can be found:
  Flashlight - turn on the flashlight by pressing the weapon special key.
  Silencer - turns the weapon silent.
• Secondary fire toggles aim down sight.
• Can be dual wieldable.

Revolver (slot 2)

• Each shot deals heavy damage and has a 10% chance to do a critical hit.
• Altfire fires faster but is less accurate.
• Bullets will penetrate thin walls and smaller enemies.
• Pressing the "weapon special"-key will spin the cylinder.
  Spinnging the cylinder is working 100% and is not just cosmetic, meaning that you can play russian roulette against your enemies. Kinda useless, but fun.
• Revolver bullets has a 15% chance to spawn instead of a ClipBox.
• Has a 30% chance to spawn instead of a minigun once you have a minigun.
• Can be dual wieldable.

Automatic Shotgun (slot 3)

• Each shot fires 6 pellets, but each pellet deals about double damage compared to those from the normal shotgun and SSG, making the automatic shotgun more powerful even without the increased fireing speed. To balance the weapon I had to introduce a second type of shotgun ammunition.
• The green shells has a 20%/25% chance to replace normal shells and shellboxes.
• Has a 30% chance to spawn instead of a super shotgun.

Automatic Grenade Launcher (slot 5)

• The AGL shoots very fast, but takes a longer time to reload.
• Normal fire shoots a grenade that will ounce around and explode on enemy contact.
• Has a 30% chance to spawn instead of a rocket launcher once you have one.
• Grenades has a small chance to spawn instead of rockets / rocket boxes.

Sniper Rifle (slot 5)

• Altfire toggles the scope, which can toggle between 4x, 8x and 16x zoom by pressing the "weapon special"-key while using the scope.
• Has a 30% chance to spawn instead of a rocket launcher once you have one.

Railgun (slot 6)

• The railgun is able to fire through smaller enemies, making it great against smaller units standing in a line. It also works wonderfully against cocodemons. The visible railtrail is just cosmetic, so don't worry if it looks like the rail is slightly off.
• Altfire toggles the scope, which has a 2x zoom.
• Pressing "weapon special"-key toggles beween normal and charged fire (which works just like the BDv21 railgun).
• Pressing "weapon special"-key while zoomed toggles scope nightvision on/off.
• Railgun cores has a 10% chance to spawn instead of a Cell.
• Railgun packs has a 10% chance to spawn instead of a Cellpack.
• Has a 30% chance to spawn instead of a plasmarifle once you have a plasmarifle.

Spider Mastermind Autocannon (slot 8)

• The cutocannon will drop from spider masterminds.
• The weapon has a lot of recoil which makes aiming hard.
• No spare ammunition can be found unless you kill an other spider mastermind.

C-4 Explosives (slot 0)

• Throw away C-4s with primary fire. Detonate them with secondary fire.
• The C-4 deals more damage than the grenades, but has a smaller radius.
• A thrown C-4 can be disarmed and picked up again by walking up to it and pressing "use".
• Three C-4s and a detonator can be found instead of a shotgun once you have one.
• There's a keybind to quickly throw a C-4 (just like grenades), check the options menu.

The new enemies

The new enemies as well as the zombie variants (SMG zombie, Rifle zombie, Scientist) will start to spawn after you've played a few levels. This can be turned off in the option menu to have them start spawning immediately.

Super shotgun wielding zombie

• Have about 11% chance to replace the shotgun zombie.
• Will drop the super shotgun when killed.
• Be careful to engage this dude up close as he deals huge damage up front.
• You can execute the SSG-zombie when you have a berserk pack.

Ifrit

• Have a 50% chance to replace the Pain elemental.
• Will replace the Ifrits of Scythe 2.
• Be cautious when fighting the Ifrit together with other enemies. He can charge to quickly close the gap to you and fire high damage projectiles and spells that slows your movement speed. Therefore the Ifrit should be a high priority target.
• Is immune to fire and will take much less damage from plasma and BFGs.

Phantom

• Will replace Spectres. (toggable in the option menu)
• These demons will try to hide from and ambush the player.
• Has a short range teleport that it will use to get into hiding or to close the gap to the player.
