Doom Reborn Alpha Version 0.841 news

The new release is ready :)
Brent just got this packaged up and on the site

Doomreborngame.com

Really hope yous enjoy :)

I haven't got round to doing the news page yet for the new release,
But i've put a how to fix guide for the precompressed texture graphical issue that people have had in videos of current versions

Picture guide of how to fix in game and long term fix even if you delete your DoomConfig.cfg for any reason

Just wanted to quickly point out, ModDB freaked out when updating the news last time I luckly had a copy of all the text before updating, But all videos download buttons images etc didn't come back with the copy I haven't time to sort that all out again since the new release is coming soon and I'm focusing my attention on my work. unfortunately Brent is busy with a lot of job interviews at the moment and doesn't think he'll have time to sort out the load\save game options of the menu :(

By levels it'll have all of episode 1 (not level 10 from the xbox 1 release) and 4 levels of Doom 2 but many other changes and fixes and updates
Tonight i've been working on the script related to the super shotgun and bfg
to remove reload, its coming along alright, the super shotgun is closer to sorted than the bfg
bfg is in a runaway loop at the moment and the super shotgun fires and works once
using 2 shots then looks likes it's firing again but uses no ammo(firing blanks so to speak)

I have a fair idea how to sort it out, But i'll look at it tomorrow after work :)

Doom Reborn Alpha Version 0.841

There is a new method everyone can use to launch the mod
I've included a early version of the DoomReborn.exe Brent has been working on

Place it in the Doom 3 folder with the Doom3.exe
And use the DoomReborn.exe to launch the Mod

This will directly load the mod, Saving any time creating shortcuts and batch files

But I have to point out to New People
The Imps will not be firing 4 fireballs at you in 0.841
and you'll not be able to
carry the correct amount of ammo after picking up a back pack
SimoK changed the max ammo for the weapons
These where changes made by Both SimoK
