Brutal Doom v21.5.0 Expansion (Stable) file

Depending on what the addon changes/replaces some might work. But, they would have to be updated when BD v22 comes out as well so, *shrugs* I'm not waiting that long.

Are you referring to how sometimes you click altfire to aim and it doesnt stay and goes back to unzoomed? I've seen that a few times and can go through and make the altfire states last longer or see what needs to be done.

This is fixed in v21.5.1 on github
Github.com

Alright the zoomed fire state will jump to NoAim unless the altfire button is held down for all applicable weapons now. I cant check for if a button is NOT held down in decorate code so, hopefully your opinion matches the rest of the community and this doesnt **** everyone else off or I will have to revert it.

Updated ADS behavior on all applicable weapons

Im not able to duplicate that in game and the "PlayerMuzzle1" flares are being spawned on the right and left fire states in the code. Are you loading some other mod that is messing with this?

I adjusted the damagefactors for the monsters. Monsters used to be taking like x5 damage from the supershotgun and I don't see any logical reason as to why? Vanilla monsters never took increased damage from the SSG so, that was just making it too easy and I wouldn't call that balanced and set it back to x1. The dualwield auto-equipped was requested previously and makes sense to me but, I can revert that since this is the second complaint about it. And the lagging concern is awful vague I haven't experienced that but, I now have a modern desktop.

The dualwield weapons auto-equipping has been reverted now in the current state of the project on github. And now monsters with <500 hitpoints will take the standard Brutal Doom x5.0 damage from "SSG" damagetype while non-boss monsters with >= 500 hitpoints will take x2.5.

SSG has been "un-nerfed" and dual weapons no longer auto-equip

I did add the slug shells from XV117's Enhanced Weapons Mutator (green shotgun shells) that you press dual wield with any shotgun to equip. It's just an upgrade/power-up technically.

I just tried that on Plutonia Map01 and the Archvile raised him. Everything in the code is correct. The BD archvile has a Heal: state, commando has a Raise: state, and the archvile is using A_VileChase to move around which allows for raising. How do you know that the archvile didnt raise the chaingunguy and he just started walking back into that room while you started walking down the stairs? I honestly am not convinced that there is any problem.

yes zandronum is all I use. I can't duplicate your problem. Even on the test map summoning a chaingunguy and archvile and guiding it to raise the dead chaingunner. It's working.

That has been fixed and will be in 21.5.2 this Sunday when I release it on Github.

ADS behavior on all weapons has been fixed

I changed all of Brutal Doom's numbered scripts to named scripts now to keep this from breaking compatibility with all the various map packs (which all use numbered scripts inside the level) which might have broken compat with other mods.

Thanks, I'm glad someone likes it. I don't get comments like that often.

Mark had the Mastermind taking 0.4 damage from damagetype "disintegrate" which is the BFG but, the Cyberdemon doesn't take any reduced damage so, I just set it to x1.0 for all monsters to make it consistent. Some things I found illogical and inconsistent across all the monsters so I normalized all the damagefactors in my own way that is close to v21Gold or vanilla if no clear pattern could be determined.

Mark removed all the hitscan attacks by enemies they all fire projectiles that you can dodge but, no I have not increased the speed of their tracers or made them more accurate that I remember.

A lot over the almost 2 years that I have tweaked and added.
-Vehicle HUDs have all been redone
-All monster damageFactors (resistances and weaknesses) have been tweaked
-Re-enabled the dodge feature for flying enemies and zombies
-grenades now put out a "Avoid" damagetype before they explode so enemies have a chance to roll/dodge away from them
-new crueltybonus drops on fatalities and executions
-dynamic lights added to everything that didnt have them (plasmarifle projectiles)
-fixes to the weapons and their aim down the sights states
-Purist class is polished and added the Doom64 Unmaker with keys
-Juggernaut and Motherdemon have been polished heavily
-Brutal Doom specific monsters have a chance of replacing their vanilla parent monster in any mappack (belphegor, ancient arachnotron, volcabus, juggernaut)
-Added the slug rounds for all the shotguns from XV117's Enhanced Weapons Mutator (press dual wield to load)
-Added pistol ammoboxes, nuke missile ammo, jugs of gasoline, new demon strength rune sprite, lots of sprite fixes from Dox's addon
-and bunches of bugfixes and performance tweaks that I cant remember all of.

No theyre not. The spawner that replaces the BFG actor has a 16/256 chance to spawn a 10k, 4/256 chance for an unmaker, 2/256 for a MG42 or flamethrower, and 1/256 for a nukelauncher. So I changed the probability for a 10k from 48/256 to 16/256 is all. You will eventually see it.

Yes, the point was brought up that the altfire spin state was pointless because it used to fire at the same rate whether the weapon was spun-up or not so, I added a spin-up sequence to the beginning of the fire state to give altfire an actual use. I Had it not firing at all during the spin-up but that was too punishing on the player.

Thats the Volcabus which Mark had spawning on a few maps in Episode 3 of Doom I. I've made the Brutal Doom secret monsters have a rare chance of spawning in place of the parent monster if there is enough room on any map now. Volcabus (souped-up Mancubus), Ancient Arachnotron (souped-up Arachnotron), Belphegor (soup-ed up Baronofhell/hellknight), and the Juggernaut (Quake II-like monster that can replace a normal Spidermastermind).
