Great news! Congratulations on the excellent mod!
I wanted to suggest, not wanting to disrupt the development of your mod,
if it would be difficult to implement a body for the camera in first person!
I always liked games that when you look down, you can see character's legs! hehe
Oh, and if you could also add empty cartridges for when reloading a weapon,
I think this is just a small implement that improves a lot the immersion in the game!
Congratulations once again!
I'll look into that just for you. I've seen u around for years I think. So I'll see what I can do for u.
Dual-wielding Super Shotguns? Is it not a bit too over the top for this kind of mod?
No. U need all the help u can get. They're powerful but also have a small clip size so it balances out. They won't make u invincible. In fact when I use them I have to be very quick to get in as close as possible and then I have to be very precise with my shots or I'll get stuck reloading while being close to an enemy. Not a good position to be in even with the rebalanced damage rates for monster attacks. They'll still take u out 2-3 times faster then vanilla Doom 3.
Sure, but then, why not allow the player to dual-wield every weapon?
Because then it would become unbalanced. The pistol and SSG are both on the low end of the weapon versatility totem pole. The pistol is the weakest weapon while the SSG has to be reloaded much sooner then the other weapons. That's why they're allowed to be dual wielded. I hope u can understand this concept.
I understand. I just think it looks weird; ideally, it would work better if the Super Shotgun were to be replaced by a Sawed-Off Shotgun, like in Marathon.
Then again, I have not played RoE as much as DooM 3, so I do not remember much about how the Super Shotgun handles.
It looks fine. It's not long at all. It's the size of a standard coach gun.
When it is released I shall return to play Doom 3 allover again. I look forward to this.
As Arthur Balen said, congratulations on the upcoming version of PD3 man, it's come a long way. He made some good points about the first person body and empty cartridges, but I would also like to mention something for you to consider as well. Would it be possible to blow limbs off enemies with a shotgun or other powerful weapons such as explosives? It'd be pretty freaky to shoot or blow a zombies arm or leg off and still have it coming after you. Could this be possible?
This is very possible and I've even looked into it. But it is far beyond my skills. For one you would have to make separate versions of the character models that would contain all the sections of the body that would come off. That's a huge work load alone. Then you'd have to code the crap out of it all to get it to work right. That's a huge quest to embark on. One that I do not have the skills to complete. If it was easy I'm sure that in the 10+ years that Doom 3 has been around it would have been done already. If I ever find the help to make it happen it would surely be added to PD3.
That sure sounds like a daunting task alright, but thanks for your response! The heightened gore you've already incorporated into PD3 is fantastic already. Regardless on whether or not what I mentioned above could be added to the game, I believe this is one of the best mods ever created and wish you luck in continuing development for v7.
Thank u very much. I hope u all enjoy it.
I've been waiting for this release before I finally play Doom 3
U should really play Doom 3 as is before playing this mod. That way u can see what all was added to it with PD3. I really insist that u do this.
"Then on to getting this sucker ready for ROE."
NOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYY
HOLY BLEEP
I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING THIS ONTO ROE!
Ohhhh man! Better and better!
Looking forward to the december release.
Glad you like the update.
That’s excellent news about your mod, does that mean the Grabber Gun and the ROE monsters will appear in the ROE version of Perfected Doom?
Are you still planning to add the Arachnotron to your mod?
Yes it'll be PD3 in ROE.
Not sure about the arachnotrons. I don't know if it's gonna happen. I really want his done by the end of December. So they may not make the cut. They alone will be a lot of work. I may not have time to even get started on them.
This is going to be awesome! Can't wait, I'll be updating my hardware soon so hopefully I'll be able to enjoy it right with all the additions.
Keep up the awesome work man!
Thanks dude. I'm very excited to release it.
