For those who want a Doom 4 Mod for Doom that actually feels more like the oldschool Doom and less like the Q3Arena-Pinatafest that is Doom4. Disclaimerino: I respect TREMENDOUSLY the work of the creators of Doom(4) for Doom. It's just that Doom(4) has its flaws, which I'll try to fix (hopefully) with this mod.
Description:
Hey all! If you're clicking this you're probably asking yourself "What on Earth would this be? D4D is already as awesome as it can get!" Well you're right guys, but I think that there's STILL something about Doom 4 that really gets under people's skin (at least, mine). Pinatas? Q3A-like sprites? Dumb AI? (yes, you, zombies.)
So what's this mod for? The goal is to make it FEEL good, feel the power of the weapons, of the hordes of hell you're facing, feeling the pain of our beloved marine. And of course, fun factor.
-------------------- FEATURES ------------
-Completely replaced Q3Arena-esque sprites with original Doom sprites (see screenshot)
-Pinata effect DRASTICALLY reduced with almost invisible health and non-Q3Aesque sprite drops
-Replaced Soulsphere and Megasphere with the oldschool counterparts (sprite only, effect is still D4)
-Added Few monsters (ZombieFodder,Sabaoth,Diabloist,Frightener) to the bestiary, COMPLETE WITH GORE, GLORY KILLS PINATAS AND WHATEVER PLEASES YOUR BLOODTHIRST
-Replaced Zombieman/Shotgunguy/Chaingunguy from Doom4 with "regular zombies" (you know, that shoot guns, not lazorz), again COMPLETE WITH GORE, GLORY KILLS PINATAS AND WHATEVER PLEASES YOUR BLOODTHIRST
-Replaced/Revamped a good 80% of monster,pickup,weapon and player sounds
-Doomguy now screams in pain when hit and has death sound (from Quake II)

One thing I really disliked about D4D was the item sprites (Yes everyone, I know it was being more true to 2016), you could hardly see where the items (especially ammo) were or what they were for. And a pain sound is a welcome return too, there would be times where health would just drop from 100 to 30 with no warning until the alarm goes off... after I'm dead lol
Going to give this a try. :)
UPDATED!!!!!
one thing i really hate about d4d is the quick melee. its like a phallus suddenly appearing on the screen
Doesn't seem to want to launch with any version of GZDOOM. What version was out when this mod was made?
Try GZDoom 2.2.0.
Script error: Script error, "D4D_Vic.pk3:decorate/miscitems.aed" line 107:
Sprite names must be exactly 4 characters
I placed them in the right order, as well. WTF?
