Zandronum

Old Mutiny 2.0 release thread (ZDoom Forums)

Mutiny is a gameplay mod for ZDoom and Zandronum that pits you, 15 years after the events of Doom II, against the forces of the rebel marine general Giuseppe Eduardo in his plot to take over all of human space. What this means in practical terms is marines, marines everywhere! You fight an onslaught of human enemies and war robots that are faster, deadlier, and smarter than the forces of hell. Mutiny delivers tense, high-stakes gameplay where clever tactics, a good aim, and a bit of patience lets you dispatch your relatively frail human opponents with ruthless efficiency, and the careless end up scattered in hundreds of juicy pieces on the floor.

Some of the features new from Mutiny 2.0:
* Convenient (for me at least, maintaining the wad was a chore) new pk3 format
* Many new sprites and graphics, including never-before-seen elite and medic marines by Xim.
* New, much cleaner HUD and status bar.
* Full Zandronum compatibility. Mutiny coop is now a reality.
* Ammo is much tighter than Mutiny 2.0, where you could become completely overstocked with everything very easily.
* Rebalancing to certain weapons and enemies
* New and improved grenades in three types--frag, EMP, and gas, each with its own applications, strengths, and weaknesses.
* Medics will only be able to revive a dead marine once, and not at all if the marine is gibbed. This is to prevent scenarios where medics revive fallen enemies and other medics over and over.
* Shared keys (like Samsara)--pick up a key in coop and all other players will get the same key
* New, more predictable grenade physics that will greatly reduce the likelihood of blowing yourself up
* Gas grenades are actually useful now with a new gas effect
* Projectiles fired at allies will pass through them, preventing embarrassing self-fragging (at the expense of breaking DM support, sorry)

A Mutiny coop server has been set up (thanks TerminusEst13!) and will run (hopefully) every weekend. You can find it on IDE or Doomseeker under the name ":: [BE] New York :: Mutiny v3 Public Testing". The current Mutiny version is late alpha quality. Expect bugs, rough edges, dummied out resources, etc. These will all be fixed in due time.

Mutiny build 9/21/13, for this weekend's Mutiny server

I like this! I've set up a server for it on the [SoFurry] cluster.

You should really add version numbers to the pk3 file and releases though. Otherwise updating this will be a pain.

I've loved this mod ever since its first release.

The main annoyance for me, though, is the overabundance of A_FastChase. There are better ways to make "smart" enemy movement that don't involve doing the Electric Slide all over the place. :p

This weekend's server is now up, playing The Darkening Episode 2! Unfortunately I can't play at the moment because my ping is over 600.

Same here, but if anything, This wad is pretty nice. The Mons-- Human sounds are not overused. Overall, good job.

Thanks to everyone who accompanied me through the first run through Darkening Episode 2! Feel free to report any bugs you found.

Well, the Spec Op Soilder seems to be a bit OP, even its Gas Nade. I mean, you run into a room, insta dead cuse of them. Other then that, I don't see anything wrong.

I remember this.
Was one of the WADs I played the most back in the day.
Actually worked well with Skulltag's Invasion with a little bit of editing here and there.

Week 3 server is now up with Mars War 3.01 as the level set.
