Test 12 Report (forwarded to ZDoom):

1. Chaingun Zombie splatter animation is bugged. It will do a half animation of the original splatter effects when you hit them point blank with the SSG.

2. Bullet/pellet impacts on walls will damage anything on the opposite side of them or damage through wall corners.

3. Rescued Marines are still bugged.

4. Caco Demon seek range for biting is a tad bit too high, and reason being is because they bite you through thin walls.

5. Nazis are still buggy.

The Demon Strength Rune was pretty humerous, although I have an idea for it. When you pick it up, it could change your right hook into a lunging punch? That would be very effective, and maybe it could also do the same for your jump kick? Giving it a little more momentum would be awesome. Any chance you considered my alternative on the rolling functions posted a few pages back?

Some honest crits and bugreports:

Opinion: The berserker pack replacement is okay but I don't see what makes it cooler than the original powerup. I always liked the idea of space age steroids. It sort of fit the Brutal style. Edit: I now see that the demon strength power up is a seperate thing all together. I kind of think it could be a glowing, still beating heart or something. Just a rune looks kind of out of style with the rest of the items imo.

Balance: It seems to me that the SSG is a bit too overpowered in this version. Playing the brutalized map pack on BRUTAL mode, entire hallways can be cleared with two double barrel blasts without even lining the enemies up. I one-shotted a Baron of Hell with a headshot up close just now. I didn't mind it because it felt awesome, but I'm thinking it might be a balance issue.

Bug: When the SSG runs completely out of ammo, the reload animation will still sometimes play before putting it away.

Bug: Hellknight fatalities don't play. Instead the knight just disappears.

Opinion: Is it by design that it's not possible to interrupt the SSG reload by kicking? In some instances, it would have been a lifesaver to be able to kick a pinky away to buy some more time to reload. :3

Annoyance: When my minigun runs out of ammo I swap back to the assault rifle. Please fix this, as I would prefer to change back to the shotgun.

Make more effects like this:

Yeah, there should be more interesting fire deaths.

[Submerge]

Yeah, there should be more interesting fire deaths.

I would like to see an overkill that just blasts an enemy into ashes. Not even leaving chunks behind. Just a black smear on the ground. Maybe the BFG could do it.

The BFG could have a alt-fire for that... hmmmm... :3

I realy enjoyed v17test12! There are 2 thing which I think can make an improvement:
- When you land a heavy punch there should be slightly less blur on its way back
- BFG10000 idle position has no electricity sound which seems a bit odd
Needless to say this is one of the best mods out there! keep up the good work!!!

So when is the new update coming out? Wasn't it supposed to be out today?

[Sergeant_Mark_IV]

After what happened to 0.16, I decided to change the place to upload the files to Moddb.

What happened with 0.16 is (or I think it is, judging by the content that Mediafire sent to me): somebody posted the link in a very... weird (to say the least) thread in 4chan. This thread contained links to many stuff in Mediafire, and one of these links was to a zip with premium porn movies of an important French porn movie studio. And looks like the owner of that porn studio requested to everything in that thread to be deleted. Yeah, it's weird and awkward, isn't it?


Well, anyway, I already uploaded the files, and I am just waiting for Moddb's admins approval. This will only take some few minutes...

[BenClark]

Awesome work man, thanks for releasing on time and everything, I am excited to play this with my friends.

[Antagonist]

Holy shit. Best halloween ever.

[Hellish]

WHOOOOOHOOO! Nice work sarge, this is why we all love ya!

[Sergeant_Mark_IV]

Moddb admins must be asleep. Fuck this.
Download the Zandronum version here

Go into the moddb page later to download the mutators and other stuff.

[Master Maniac]

Awesome, Sarge. You're a champ.

Seriously, what a way for moddb to treat Brutal Doom. I mean, you're ranked in the top ten! They HAD to know you planned to release today.

Thanks, man. Can't wait to give this version a go.

0.17 Report (without mutators):

1. Charred Mancubus Corpse is still a solid object.

2. Charred Arachnotrons lost their death animation, they just turn into straight up dead bodies.

3. Stealth kills do not count for total monsters killed, making 100% completion of a level impossible.

4. Nazis are still buggy.

[Famardy]

Is there a way I can implement the Zombieman's voice from version 0.16 on to 0.17?

[Valherran]

It's in the mutators man, DL it from MODDB.com
