Enjoy :p

Updated to v6.21! This is just a minor update but I didn't want to release it in the form of a patch. This will be the final version of Hard-Doom for Zandronum as we will be moving the mod over to ZDoom. I would like to thank everyone that has played this mod over the last 5 years, and in thanks I leave you with a old build from 11/27/08. The links for both versions are in the main post.

Wait why are you "moving" it over to ZDoom? Some feature you need that hasn't been backported yet?

There is a few features that I would like to use that haven't been backported yet (and won't be anytime soon). Also I'm sick of having to work around bugs in Zandronum all the time. Also in all honesty... I feel this port just isn't worth the time anymore.

Mirrored Because I feel like it

Enjoy...

Also, I'm sure Zandro would of Updated a long time ago, but Bugs kept appearing out of nowhere, that and nobody wanted to help Test to get the Bugs squished. That, and Torr keeps holding back updating till all Current Bugs are gone.

Not saying the Community is to blame, its just that people are losing interest to Help out, and in Doom all on itself. Not sure what kind of features you would want to add to Hard-Doom. To me, it seems decent. I would say, Just cut off Hard-Doom here, and make another project, renamed to something else.

Anyhow, Sad to see you move on. I'm sure it will be awhile still that Zandro will be behind, what with Gzdoom, and Zdoom being updated just yesterday, I think...

Finally released version 6.3! NOW PEOPLE CAN STOP BUGGING ME FOR IT! Changes are listed in the main post, enjoy!

Nice update, but I have two issues with it:
-The new Wolfenstien enemies are a bit too common. Especially mutants, given they hit for 10-30 a shot, shoot almost immediately, and don't make any wake up sound.
EDIT: I checked the odds for these guys. 50% for the SS, 30% for the officer, and 20% for the mutant. I'd make it 70/20/10 myself, but you have the ultimate decisions on this project.
-The new archvile rare spawn, the shadow vile, is kind of lame. It's far easier than the diabolist, unless placed in clever positions. Even then, the diabolist is worse since it's ALWAYS going to get just a bit of damage.

I'm going to give the Mutants a wake up sound so don't worry about that. As for the spawn rate I'm going to be changing it to 55/30/15 just so the mutants show up a little less. The Shadowvile I plan on making a little stronger, it was a lot stronger before release but I was scared that it would be too strong and ruin the map when it was spawned. :P

The lack of wake up sound is probably the least of their problems. The main one is that 10-30 damage, given a relatively tight spread, is way too much damage to fire with absolutely no time to react.

The main problem is that damage with these guys is more or less totally unavoidable. They shoot almost as soon as they see you, and hit for a lot of damage given that kind of reaction time. It's sort of like the cultists from blood, as quoted by The Goddamn Doomguy:

“What makes the hitscan enemies in Blood particularly annoying is their lightning-fast reflexes. They fire the SPLIT-SECOND they spot you and there’s nothing you can do almost all of the time. Doesn’t help also that they’re accurate as a motherfucker.”

Understandable fear, as I've gone the opposite direction by accident a couple times (of course, the issue that's cropping up for me more often is now "Will this lag the server to hell upon activation?")

Remember, extensive testing is the key to things going successfully.

Updated to 6.3.1! The Shadowvile rework didn't end up happening I'll get around to doing that when I release 6.4 (which is when Zandronum 2.0 comes).

Edit: Added two new files into the main post. One allows Hard-Doom to once again be fully compatible with Invasion. The other makes only ammo items respawn for Coop/Survival.

Uh, you didn't upload the hd-invasion.pk3 to BestEver. The link does nothing.

I also can't seem to get it off doomseeker.

EDIT: Just got it off Doomseeker, nevermind, you fixed it.

Updated to 6.3.2! Check the main post for details and links.

Edit: Updated the invasion patch for v6.3.2!

Sucks that Footsteps didn't go over well, I'll go check them out right now since I missed out earlier, but hey.. I was busy.

Also, any new versions will appear here

Felt it would be easier to keep it there.

The hdammoonlyrespawnv2.wad appears to be a text file.

EDIT: Ohter wads are doing that, too. Maybe it is a problem in my IE settings, or my fille associations settings. I'll check that out and report back here.

It works just fine for me. Ditch IE and use something like Firefox.
