Doomguy pulls out his massive gun while smirking.

Any chance of making Pullout animations for the Grenade Launcher, BFG-10K, and the other weapons that simply "pop" into existence the moment they're selected? One way to do it would be using the default aiming sprite as a base, and recoding the weapon's scripts to use each frame of the newly-created animation. Kinda like how you applied a slight tilt to the BFG-9000 while pulling it out.

I'm planning to do something about those weapons today. I wanted to start off with the Grenade Launcher.

Yes, I did indeed notice Doomguy swinging the Grenade Launcher off to the right while loading another rocket into the tube.

I noticed that the sound cue for the Rocket Launcer's selection is a little delayed; that "ka-shink" sound ends slightly before Doomguy slams the drum mag in the weapon.

Are the BFG-10K and Flamethrower next on the "to-do" list?

RL feels slightly weird when selecting it, I see? I'll think of some sort of solution to it. And yes. I wanted to start working on the rest of the weapons. I can't really think of much to do for those, so, is just a slight tilt when selecting it okay?

Sure thing. Anything's better than the weapon just "spawning" directly into your hands. ;)

Seems the UAC Flamethrower raises up so quickly to begin with, that the additional frames aren't showing,..

Flamethrower still has to be done, I've only took care of FlameCannon for now. I'll try to do the rest tommorow (for my time), okay?

Word had reached my ears that RC4 will release this weekend; will this addon be updated accordingly, and also to add a select animation to the Nuke Launcher?

I'll update that addon as soon as possible if it's nessesary. Also, if Nuke Launcher is still going to be a secret/easter egg weapon, then I'll have to say no.

As of now, pretty much every non-cheat weapon is covered, except for the following: Dual Pistols, Dual SMGs, Single/Dual MP40s, Dual Assault Rifles, MG42 ("Hitler's Buzzsaw"), Dual Plasma Rifles, and Hand Grenades.

The dual-wield select animations are looking a tad stiff, and taking care of these would make this minimod feature-complete.

Note: The MP40 can be found in MAP31 and MAP32 of Doom II (loot one from a slain Nazi), and the MG42 is found in one of the secret areas of MAP31 of Doom II.

I know about those Nazi weapons. I count them as secret weapons. The hand grenade doesn't really need 'em. As for dual weapons... let's just wait for BD to come out first, then I'll work on that~!

Is this compatible with Brutal v21 gold? I'm trying to run maps of chaos and have HXRTCHUD_BRUTALDOOM21RC8 running with it. I keep coming up with an error and it crashes the game before it starts.

I tried putting it after Brutal v21 then after maps of chaos, which has to run after brutal, but get the same result.

I found v10 in doomseeker and put it in my Zandromum folder and bam it works. Not sure why v11 doesn't though.

You're using Zandronum. Zandro doesn't have the function a_overlay. The latest version is only compatible with GZDoom.

One thing I have to say about the kicking animations when you kick. The animations finish too fast. I can make them end later if that's fine.
