It started off as a small reskin, but has evolved into a big fork, considered the definitive way to play Brutal Doom by a lot of people.
Multiple sprites have been polished and made more consistent, so you won't be seeing weird things (like swapping shot off limbs during last stand states for the zombies). A lot of sprites have also been touched upon, so expect more quality and consistency from them.
Everything with this addon shall feel more detailed, improving the overall experience of the mod. Weapons were also given special treatment, with a few weapons being having new animations and effects, and with some being majorly overhauled!

Of course, let's not forget about some stuff that did not need to be added, but were anyway because I felt like it. Worry not though, because they still fit very nicely into the mod to even further improve it!

This fork is also a collaboration of multiple members of the community, who've decided to contribute to it to make Brutal Doom an even better mod!

So, in short, what can I expect from this addon?

• Quality of life changes,
• Kickflashes (weapon stays visible when kicking)
• Fidgeting animations for some guns (reload with a full magazine),
• Minor tweaks to keep you hooked,
• Sprite improvements with attention to detail,
• Minor balance changes
• BRIGHTMAPS!!!
• Personal touches from me to keep the mod fresh,
• Some bug fixes.
• Customizable experience through a lot of options

To play the addon, you need to load it AFTER Brutal Doom. Please, use a mod loader for it, such as ZDL.
To play it, just load it via a mod loader or drag and drop it on your source port. IT NO LONGER REQUIRES THE BASE BD TO RUN!
Drag n’ dropping might cause a lot of issues.
Minimum GZDoom: 4.3.1

Corruption Cards patch: Mediafire.com

Delta-touch/older GZDooms Fix: Click here uwu (Updated: 8.03.2021)
It does not have ledge grabbing and revenants using their jetpacks.

As of 15.12.2020, zandronum is no longer supported.
You can get the last zandronum compatible version here: Mediafire.com
Load the main file first, and after that load the patch. Otherwise it will not work.

This file changes A LOT of things regarding Brutal Doom, so sometimes even the simplest of addons might not work. I will not make thousand of compability patches for each and every addon.

Everyone plays differently, so there can be a lot of differences between configs, preferences, etc.
If you want to report a bug, I’d appreciate if you could include these information:
- Source port used.
- Version of source port.
- Mod loader used (If you’re using drag n’ drop, don’t report a bug and get a mod loader.)
- full mod loader list (preferably a screenshot of files in your mod loader, that way I can get their exact order)
Here are some way to prevent some bugs from happening:
- Use the minimum supported GZDoom version for this addon (4.3.1)
- USE A MOD LOADER, SUCH AS ZDL!
- Try running the mod again… sometimes it really does work.
- Try not to use too many addons.

As for suggestions, feel free to drop them in the comments or contact me here:

29.09.2021

• Optimised freezethrower
• marines now get hit by player projectile a lot less frequently
• Soul ammo has been reduced to 666
• Demons can only give 1 soul now
• Gas has been reduced to 600
• burning mancubi now violently explode
• pipebombs now have a shorter explosion delay.
• More consistent SSG dragon breath’s shells (thanks to JMartinez2098 and GOLDƎИ MOBSTƎЯ72)
• Improved chainsaw/axe ricochet visual effects.
• Smoothed out sprinting bobbing
• Slidekicking no longer locks your camera in place, you’re allowed to look up freely, but you’re still limited as to how low you can look.

BUGFIXES:

• Fixed flashlight state and related problems
• Fixed dual wielding having a stray tic
• pipebomb explosions now alert enemies
• fixed conflicting chainsaw sprites
• removed stray file in chainsaw sprites that caused a warning on startup
• fixed incorrect grenade sprites when sprinting with void grenades

Quick fixes lol:
- Actually applied the new chainsaw sounds now.
- The pipebombs can now be detonated when you have no throwables left but still using the "throwables" dedicated weapon.
- The MP40 now gives you ammo properly upon picking up.

MAJOR STUFF:
Added new types of throwables – the pipebombs and void grenades!

Pipebombs work just like you’d expect – toss them and blow them up anytime you want. You can also 

pick up pipebombs that were not detonated yet. They don’t have that much range, but they pack more

of a punch.

The void grenades make a black hole once they activate. That black hole sucks multiple things into it and

deals damage over time – even to the player if they’re not careful enough!

The assault shotgun has a new ammo type – plasma shells. The projectiles can bounce up to 3 times 

before they dissapear. But be wary, you can damage yourself slightly with them.

2 new, temporary guns were introduced – Cyberdemon’s missile launcher and the Mastermind’s chaingun!
They drop from their respective demons, and they can be switched to using the boss weapon key 

(default is M).
Once you press it, you’ll be able to use these guns for 30 seconds before they get removed from your 

inventory. Use them wisely.

The plasmagun now has a needler mode – similar to the one from Halo.

It fires projectiles that deal more damage the more there are of them.

They aren’t strong in small numbers, but when they add up they can deal a lot of damage.

The last addition is the laser guided rockets for the rocket launcher. There’s no limit to how many 

rockets you can control in that manner.

A lot of weapons have received foley sounds, aka equipment fumbling sound to hopefully make them 

seem more detailed.

Lastly, Emerald has made a new, simplified ZScript system for weapon addons, which makes us not have to

worry about compability anymore!

They will be also included in this update as separate file to encourage trying them out.

LESS MAJOR STUFF:
- Added player class icons in the menu. Each class has a different animation.
- Added a new keybind – „Weapon Special 2”. Used to activate the silencer and needler.
- Selected throwables, weapon modes and ammo types will be remembered between saves now.
- Added an option to disable base gun (like shotgun, minigun) from spawning. If all weapons from a specific

 spawner are disabled, it’ll spawn some ammo instead.
- Added some missing credit entries. Sorry about that.
- Switching hand grenade types now also changes the hud icon.
- New dual flamecannon sprites by Craneo.
- Added a slow-mo bind, mainly for developing purposes.
- You can now decrease your mag size below default size.
- Nerfed the glass shell’s damage.
- New mancubus’ flamecannon sounds provided by Dissy EX.
- Added inspect animation for the nailgun.
- Plasmagun’s light now has a different color, depending on how much ammo you have left.
- Adjusted some weapons’ „NoAmmo” states to match their duration to their firing speeds.
- Added an option to disable randomized pickups.
- New hanged marine sprites
- Added an option to make the weapons bob all the time, no matter what.
- Added some new HD sounds, contributed by The Almighty Egg on discord.
- Added a charge attack for Baron of hell.
- Frozen railgun now has a new, icethrower alt fire. (will cause severe lag lol)
- Thrown chainsaw now has a voxel and cuts enemies upon impact.
- Rewrote some casing and empty mags code.

BUGFIXES
- Fixed plasmagun’s unload animation.
- Fixed dual plasmagun’s unload animation.
- Fixed plasmagun’s alt fire only being cancellable with Brutal Doom’s reload key.
- Restored some missing BFG-related sprites.
- Fixed autoshotgun’s select and deselect when it’s unloaded.
- The ASG now spawns empty magazine when reloading again.
- Fixed the railgun using only 3 ammo while firing when ADS.
- Fixed some first person executions being buggy in some ways.
- Fixed the SSG dissapearing when firing on the tactical class.
- Grenade launcher’s casings are now quieter.
- Fixed the dual MP40s missing an idle frame.
- Fixed some first person execution animations displaying improper sprites when returning to idle.
- Fixed legs not taking leg staining options into account.
- Fixed the unmaker being able to do the alt fire with no ammo left.

- Fixed decorative nails behaving weirdly.
- Fixed one hellknight’s corpse displaying an improper frame.
- Fixed keys not appearing on the hud.
- Removed multiple duplicate files.
