This mod is a compilation of fixes for Doom 3 base, that does just this, fix many of bugs found in the standard, default Doom 3 base, specially in defs and scripts, but also on materials, particles and so on. Also it adds some new stuff, like particles, materials and effects. This mod is not something spectacular with big changes, but is some even inperceptible changes and additions, that fixes small and big bugs and make Doom 3 the most perfect basis for the hundreds of mods available, so every mod runs much better and smoother with this fixes.
A cornucopia of incredible modding resources and knowledge. Not exactly suitable for playing, but if you're a modder or just tinkering? A godsend.
cool mod!
great work
Short version:
-----------------------
PROS:
(+) Exceptional sounds
(+) Very good A.I.
(+) Improved quality of life
(+) Extra textures/particles
(+) ALL IN ALL: VERY GOOD WORK
CONS:
(-) head bobbing is... exaggerated (to put it mildly)
(-) WARNING: even though it is presented as a foundation for other mods - be very careful which you install first, because the latter must be carefully merged! This one is a very complex mod!
Long version:
-------------------------
I am in my fourth day of searching and testing, and after 50 hours+ of gameplay and experimenting and installing/reinstalling, i can safely say that this is the mod i've been looking for.
I would like to start by saying that in my opinion, this mod definitely can't be a basis if you want to install other mods! -> It needs to be kept last, because it has its fingers deep in EVERYTHING (everything you can imagine, textures, scripts, defs, DDS, models, particles, sounds, maps, AND THE LIST GOES ON).
And let's say, you, like me, happen to want to install another mod that has an install kit - in this case this mod DEFINITELY needs to be kept for last installment (but carefully merge it with the other tho, otherwise you'll be drowning in incompatibilities!!!)
Now for the actual review : I'll just critic what i experienced (and what i cared to install over what i already had).
///SOUNDS\\\
DUDE....OMG YOU FREAKING NEED TO BE CROWNED! The sounds for the pistol and machinegun are angelic!!!111!! IF I WAS A SOUND -> I'D MARRY YOUR SOUNDS OMG!?!
*calms down*
Yeah so this mod does not have that many sounds, but the ones it does - very nice (with small exceptions which i removed myself)
///AI\\\
YES LORD! I knew this was gonna be good the moment i put my crosshair on an imp and the bastard (with full health) immediately dodged out of my way(and i was definitely about to one-shot him in the head with the shotgun).
That emo-sado-masochistic mod "Overthinked" has exceptional AI as well, but they're quite different (i looked at the scripts), still, this one is KING too!
///Quality of life and weapons\\\
HELL YEAH.
I am not gonna repeat what is already stated in the mod description (which i can just confirm that is true, what you see is what you get!).
THE EFFIN HEAD BOBBING THO....
...
FML
...
I immediately modded it out because it was nauseating. Such a huge turnoff especially when i first crouched LMAO.
Epilogue (and conclusion):
--------------------------
This modder(modders) literally picked up the tiny good pieces from here and there and made this mod (and i'm pretty sure added personal touches as well).
If you dissect this mod you can see it has been carefully molded into what it is today. 10/10 for effort dude(s), you deserve it.
Congratulations!
