Suggestion: Allow the Akula sub and the Yari mini sub to fire without having to surface.

I don't suppose you'd be up to the idea of releasing the current source code of your mod?

I wouldn't be surprised if there's other folks who'd be willing to continue your work.

Still alive out there, SolidJames? By 'alive', I mean in the literal sense; your most recent comment was in April, after all.

Hoping that you're still alive and kicking out there.

Balance/flavour suggestion: Change the "Rate" value for "SCHPDEPL" in the artmd.ini, from 105 to 250. At that setting, the Siege Chopper's deploy/undeploy sound is perfectly matched up with its actual animation speed.

Could adjust the other stats if this one change by itself makes the Siege Chopper too strong.

Incidentally, 250 is the value used by Beowulf's Rules, another mod for Yuri's Revenge.

Was hoping he'd reply here.

It's only if the creator lacks the ability to extract and convert the files themselves; if they can already do that, then there's little else I can offer.

Seems I missed this development. I don't suppose you're having any sort of trouble extracting and then converting Cataclysm's assets (audio, models, textures, etc) for use in the Remastered mod?

If so, perhaps I could be of some assistance? I still have a bunch of older modding tools for Cataclysm that work on my system.

On further testing, Map 29 Outpost Omega has a Laser Gun spawn in place of the Unmaker, when playing on Tactical Mode; Classic Mode has the Unmaker spawn as expected there.

Will this be changed for the next release?

Map 29 Outpost Omega seems to be missing the Unmaker in its expected location. The same thing happened with the 'regular' Brutal Doom 64.

Any idea as to why it's not there?

Am I the only one who thinks that the BFG-9000 could use some more adjustments?

Rather, ensuring that the tracers reliably hit living enemies, while ignoring corpses/gibs.

This has been in development for what, 11 years now?

Hopefully, it will be worth the wait...

(Yes, there's a reference in there)

To clarify: Is this level of difficulty intentional? Because it seems really, really hard.

On Medium AI difficulty, it's almost impossible for me to win. Is this intentional?

Phew. Still slow and steady on mod development, I take it?

Still alive out there, Slye_Fox?

(In the literal sense; rather, just hoping you haven't had any problems in real life or something)

Do the new tanks have a 3rd person view mode? If so, how do I switch to it?

Agreed.

Thanks!

That would make sense.

Edit: New question, how do I grab Lost Souls while under the effects of a Berserk Pack? Punching them just kills them.

That lower average damage might be why it seems to take me way more hits to kill Pinky demons and Cacodemons now.

Another question: Does anyone else find that the minigun now chews through ammo way too fast now?

Strange, I vaguely recall it carrying over in v20. Maybe I'm mixing it up with something else.

Is it normal that the berserk pack effect isn't retained upon heading to the next level anymore?

Does it bring back the pre-v21 shotgun firing sounds though?

Can the armor bonus alt sprite be re-added somehow?

Getting a fatal error in the beta, in Hell on Earth while using Zandronum online:

Code: C0000005 (Access Violation - tried to read address 00000104)

Address: 00315EFA

Flags: 00000000

Any idea what might be causing this?

You... nerfed the Siege Chopper?

Really?

Incomplete or not, I like what's done so far, :D

The unfortunate flaw of the Destroyer's Osprey (at least in vanilla gameplay), is that if a Soviet player has Sea Scorpions escorting their Typhoon Attack Subs, then the Osprey is basically unable to ever touch the Attack Subs (The Osprey is basically dead the moment it can be targeted by the Sea Scorpions).

This leaves forced targeting with other units as the only other solution to Attack Subs.

Perhaps a late reply, but I spoke with the author, and we discovered the cause of the problem. He will include the PsiCorps Trooper fix in an update of his mod at some point in the future, along with other fixes.

While we wait for that update, I have uploaded a modified Rules.ini that fixes the PsiCorps Trooper, but touches nothing else.

You can find the link on my profile blog; the comment section gives me an error when I try to post the link here.
