Mercenaries - progress? suuuuure ...

[HexaDoken]

Here is my plan, regardless of mappack mostly.
1. Mossberg. Good old mossberg.
2. Generate a 500$ cash buffer. Read: don't let my cash count fall below 500$ unless I have severe health/ammo issues. 500$ are right enough for a berserk pack(ups health to 100) and 48 shells - more than enough to do some serious kicking.
3. CX-4. Quickly.
4. Saiga. Once again, quickly.
5. Magnum.
6. AK-47 or Famas, depending on the mood.
7. AWM
8. Spam armor/dogs/cluster nades.

For other items, it depends on situations. I only resort to buying ammo if I have nothing else than .50 rounds. If I run out of certain ammo type, I use weapons with other ammo types.
If I find my health dropping below 30 too often, I grab a berserk pack. Much better than painkillers/medpacks.
I always keep a frag grenade handy, unless it interfers with cash buffer.

Use zDoom Launcher, its awesome and works for most engines. Also make sure you're using Doom 2, it looks like you're using Doom 1 due to the SSG error.

The SSG decorate actor is included in Mercenaries does not rely on inheritances from Doom1 so it works fine. I just beat the entirety of Doom 1 with Mercs.

Lol forgive me, I've been in the dev scene for far too long.

Am I seeing ghosts or are you speaking to yourself right there? :P

He messed up the quote bracket.

PS. The current Uzi has a bug with it's ghetto fire-mode that can cause the gun to stop firing if you fire a bullet, let go of the key, and press it again before the state completes. I can't figure out why, but I can make it stop after you're reloaded once... its so weird.

I always thought that was my mouse fucking up. Every now and then though, I noticed that almost every weapon stops firing for half a second, to the point where I end up letting go and hitting the firing button again, only to figure out I must reload.

But anyhow, I was kicking butt once I tried doom2 maps again. Just that, the buy menu is always a bit meh.. I always run behind a wall, pop it open, load up.. then a damn ?blood? demon comes and chomps me up before I can react.

(not sure if Blood Demons Spawn in normal doom2 maps, but It was fast like em :|

I think SST boosted the default demon's speed and bite-speed.

I added a single-shot firing mode to the M16. Very useful against zombies and imps. 3:

Doesn't it take three shots to down an imp? Or is it just more versatile?

[Ænima]

It's more controlled and versatile. And less likely to waste ammo on weak targets like zombies.

IDEA FOR A NEW ITEM:

Name: "Earsplitter"
Price: $400
Inventory Limit: 1
Function: Stuns (aka painlocks) nearby enemies for 7 seconds so that you can escape a clusterfuck. Basically, when used, the player's body will call A_Explode(1,2048,0) every 4 tics. Oh, and an ear-rapingly loud sound will be played. (GAYPENIS, anyone?)

Scenario:
>scythe2-style trap, doors open
>room is now filled with cybs
>use Earsplitter
>any cyb that has the player in its line-of-sight now can't attack
>RUN NIGGA RUN
>retreat to a far-away place and call an airstrike
>cybs dead


What do you think?


So what do you guys think?

[ALIENwolve]

So what do you guys think?

Sounds like the gas grenade but without offensive function. If you want that sort of thing, I'd suggest making it a flashbang instead.

In player vs player combat, you could affect player vision and their movespeed, though these effects should fade quicker than monsters.

[Ænima]

Well yeah it's basically a flashbang cept continuous and it follows the player.

[Capt.J3]

Sounds good to me. lol However, I believe a flash grenade would fit better. ( imo )

So, what about our little HQ? :p And can I use 3D floors?

[Hece]

Looks awesome.
I have few weapons sprites that you can use if you want to.
And I can do requests. And (at least try) to make reload frames for existing weapons.

These aren't fit for this mod, but just showing what kind of reloads I can do.

Hece, Your weapon's sprites looks really well done.

Ænima, I remember you said that my L85a2 needs some improvements in some parts of it, so can you tell me which part needs more work on? I'm bored and I need work. D:!

Thanks!
Btw does your L85A2 have reload frames? I could do them.


Quick made reload for Scorpion

Sure. I'll send you all of my incomplete maps in a few minutes!

Well, it looks kinda "cartoony", if you know what I mean. The colors need to be smoothed out a bit.

The perspective looks odd on the top bar too. Maybe it's just me ...

Cartoony? I think it looks like it has been made out from Play-Doh :333

Are the inventory items supposed to reset to 1 after every level when you got more than one?

For the 10th time, it's a Zandronum bug and I can't fix it until the "keep full quantity" flag is backported from ZDoom. I'm sorry. :/
