Hello there warriors!
It's been a little while since the last dev diary update, so i'm going to post this one to tell what's coming next after Version 3.0 release:
The last remaining 4 characters of the mod is still taking a long while to i get a decent idea for their abilities but so far at least Hossman will have his:
- Hossman:
Active Ability: Cryo Molotov - Every 2 kills, Hossman recieves a stack of 1 charge up to 10 Molotovs, they will apply AoE for 10 second upon impact with map geometry.
About Version 3.1, i'm focusing this time in the decorations and small bugfixes, since i'm working more on the maps now, i need these decorations as well to have more options for decorating those maps.
There's also a little rework on Cyberdemon, his behavior will probably remain the same as now, but he is in need of a rework in the animations, specially his death one which is very old and dumb.
Now what people want to know: When Zandronum version will come out?
Well when Version 3.1 releases, which i'll try to schedule somewhere in the middle of February, if i manage to do all what i have planned for now.
Alright that's all for now folks, keep fragging and have a nice day.

Quake 3 and Quake 4 weapons, plus some others along with Doom 3 style monsters! You can't go wrong!
The gameplay is quite challenging and that's what makes this mod shine for me. About half of the weapons have a special alternative fire which simply dominate and can change the course of combat in a blink of an eye!
Very well done!
That BFG secondary though, lol. Just damn!

Can anyone help me? :(
DooM mods usually work but sometimes they randomly crash
In HM's case, it simply won't work:
Script error, "HuntersMoonV2.9.5.pk3:decorate/playerchars/razor.txt" line 98:
Unknown identifier 'FPF_NOAUTOAIM'
Execution could not continue.
Script error, "HuntersMoonV2.9.5.pk3:decorate/playerchars/ranger.txt" line 127:
Expected ')', got ','.
This seems to be an error with you either using outdated GZDoom ou trying to run GZDoom's branch of the mod in Zandronum, which differs in code and wouldnt work due to that.
how i configure the gore cod????
You can find mod configs in the Player Setup Menu, for now i'm placing the configs in there.
hmm, can't seem to make the secondary fire to work properly, I set mouse 2 as secondary fire, but it almost always give me the double shotgun instead...a bug perhaps??
Secondary fire requires kills in order to be used, you need to get 50 kills before being able to use it, you can take a quick look into the Wikia i'm building to explain the new mechanics and more to know how the Weapon Ult system works: Doom-hunters-moon.wikia.com
thanks!! will look into it!! but is it possible to not have the side effect of turning the weapons into shotgun in the future release, please? may be you can have a voice or text say:" alt fire inactive" or "not enough kills" or something...
Actually this behavior is already removed, not sure if you are playing Version 2.9.5 for Zandronum yet, because Version 3.0 for GZDoom has that element changed.
I am playing the 3.0 for gzdoom. it seems that at the start of the game it was having the issue, but later on was fine...
a cool adition can be like the brutal doom (brutal friends) addon that gives you friendly marines to help with the demons but instead of marines you can put the champions to help with diferent fire attacks like the addon im just saying good luck with the mod is awesome!!!!!
