The definitive gameplay enhancement mod for the GZDoom and Zandronum engines. Adds realistic gore, dismemberments, headshots, executions, lightning effects, particles, makes enemies smarter and harder, makes gun louder and beefier, and adds epic new boss battles.

Description

NOTE: This addon is for Project Brutality. Don't expect it to work with Brutal Doom. This addon doesn't work all alone and you need to load it AFTER Project Brutality to make it work. And if you are going to use this with UDV or Starter Pack, you need to load the addon after them, too.

UPDATE:

Overhaul Pack:
- Reduced the damage of BFG a bit and made cyberdemons and masterminds 30% more resistant to BFG due to balance.
- Restored the Double Damage Sphere sprites.
- Fixed the dual pistols magazine bug.
- Restored the DMR fire sound from early versions of the PBO.
- Changed the HMG AP fire sound.
- Set Apocalypse (red cursor) as default cursor.

Extra Powerups:
- New powerup: Quad Damage Sphere! Just like Double Damage Sphere, but it quadruples your damage instead of double. Has a 20% chance of spawn with Double Damage.
- New powerup: Carnage Sphere! Similar to Extreme Sphere from Russian Overkill, this thing makes you invulnerable, quadruples damage, gives you speed, jump and firerate boost and 300 HP and AP. It's incredibly rare, you won't see it a lot. Has a 2% chance of spawn with Invulnerability Sphere.

Smart Scavenger:
- Made smart versions of HE and Special Grenades.

New Upgrade System:
- Added an Underbarrel GL compatible version of New Upgrade System.
- Combat backpacks containing upgrade will tell which upgrade you've found.
- Fixed 1 unit health pack bug.

hi man i have another problem with upgrades, i was playing with minigun and triple minigun upgrade disabled and yet i got a triple minigun upgrade from combat backpacks, i believe this is in part for a bug where sometimes when you go to slot 4 and even though minigun is disabled is briefly displayed when cycling through the weapons and then is switched to hmg, however without this i have never encounter a triple minigun upgrade during any gameplay with same options disabled, now i know this is supposed to be fixed but there is a bug with med backpack, when obtained is given with 1hp however this happened when i got two combat backpacks and a normal one, they were all in same spot so i don't know which one cuased the bug, and could you indicate what item are you getting in normal and combat backpacks?

I'm pretty bad at scripting and ACS stuff, but I can try. And about health backpacks, I only fixed 1 HP bug for normal backpacks, I forgot about combat backpacks which still give 1 HP, stupid me :-/

I've come to the general BD/PB bug I guess... It seems there's no such bug in the pure GZDOOM.EXE - a bug with color skulls that open corresponding color doors. Unfortunately, the file "kdizd_11_fixed.pk3" solves this problem only partially. Only keys as cards had been fixed but not skulls. These skulls have been replaced by orange, green and silver keycards. They don't allow to open red, yellow and blue doors. I have to do a following thing to open these doors: I type "SUMMON BLUECARD" (for example) to summon needed key. That's awful to do this any time... Someone, please fix it somehow... I tried myself but failed... :((
...
You may check this if you jump into the E2M9 - short level with barons & cacos. Type iddqd and go to color doors. You'll see that map is impossible to finish it.

You should really be addressing this in Project Brutality's comment section; not here. Also, you didn't mention anything about loading KDiZD's compatibility patch that came with PB so I'm going to assume you didn't use it.

huh, i had little nosey around the mod and found that there's another difficulty "realistic" commented out, so obviously i uncomment it try it out. everything seems to be working and of course it's hard as balls, except that having that 1 extra difficulty level seems to mess up the difficulty selection screen?
all the custom menu font's disappear and it goes back to being normal tiny doom style.

any way to fix this by chance?

More than 8 difficulty levels will make the fonts small. If you want it so hard, comment "I'm too young to die" difficulty.

It is possible to change the Hell Rifle secondary attack? like the one of the PB beta, when it was called "Brutal Doom Painkiller Compilation"

It was a life-drain attack, 3 skulls that damaged the enemies, and when they return, they restore you some health.

I remember that one, but skulls weren't able to hit anything... That's why Pain removed it. But you can ask him to put it as a toggle option.

I can't do ACS scripting, so I probably won't be able to do that.

hi man here is a bug report

HE grenades boxes opens even when you have full ammo, and they should have different box sprites, prior ones were very good.

after collecting certain numbrer of nanoinjectors (haven't determined exactly how much) medkits stops opening when you need less health points than they can recover; another thing i have noticed is that they lost the capacity to be opened when pressing "e" on them, however saegiru released an update for medkit's code so maybe that fixes the issue

here is a question about large medkits (50hp) where they removed in order to include smartscav/nanoinjectors?

Fixed the HE/Special grenade boxes opening when you have full ammo.

Included new codings from Saegiru's smart medikits.

About your question; If you are talking about Saegiru's smart medikit addon, I think that's cause there is no medipacks in Vanilla or Brutal Doom.

thanks for fixing the issues, now about the question, well i remember that back when you first included code for smarscav and before you included nanoinjectors you had large medkits, if is not too much trouble could you include them in next update?

They already were there, they split into 5 stimpacks, and they have double chance of spawning nanobot injectors.

I only started trying this out earlier today and quite like some of the changes for a start.
Now I'm not sure if this is a "bug", and not sure if someone has mentioned previously, but it seems that the Paladin variant doesn't show up on the UDV Radar. I've come across about 3 or 4 so far (Playing Starter pack again, on mission 4 atm and also using the "Alternate" PB progression...mode...thing xD ) and none of the Paladins show on it. Is/was this intentional or just been overlooked slightly? I mean, the target ID shows "Paladin" and all, and I'm quite positive I was able to track them on the base PB file alongside every other single demon and variant, but yeah. Thought I'd mention it here :)

Just tested, and Paladins show up in the radar.

Hmm. I see. I've been using the one that came with PB.

On another note, keep up the good work :)

It is possible to make a portable medikit that can be refilled with healing items you pick? some duke nukem mods use this feature, i know this may sound overpowered or game breaking, but in harder difficulties and hell revealed style wads can be a great help :D

I might make something similar to that, a stimkit pack which gives you 3 stimkits (from Complex Doom) and spawns along with medikits with 15-20% chance.

and what about if extra health you get goes to a med backpack thats not totally used, however if you use all of the med backpack it disappears as normally does, and now we are talking about that there is a small issue with med backpack, the thing is that only heals you until 100 if you have raised you hp limit with nanoinjectors med backpack does not heal those extra points, do you think you could check that?

Here's the list:

"PB_Overhaul_Pack 2.03.pk3": The main file, obviously.

"PBO_Extra_Powerups.pk3": Alternative stronger versions of some powerups that spawn along with them.

"PBO_New_Upgrade_System.pk3": An addon which makes backpacks contain usable items, and also makes combat backpacks contain weapon upgrades.

"PBO_New_Upgrade_System_UGL.pk3": An Underbarrel Grenade Launcher compatible version for this addon: Moddb.com

"PBO_Smart_Scavenger.pk3": Smart Scavenger which is made particularly for Project Brutality. Other Smart Scavenger addons are for Saegiru's UAC Survival Pack: Moddb.com

"PBO_UDV_Compatibility.pk3": Addon that makes UDV Radar work with PBO properly. Otherwise, most of the enemies won't be seen on the radar.
