Super Demon! FINISHED!!

[Catastrophe]

Sure, you can make a map for your boss. Make sure you give me your boss AND the map too.

1) Boss weapon response and feel needs work. Some examples are the Death Vile's attacks (no indication when the attack actually fires), the Maulotaur's hammer and charge attacks having no sounds or animations to time attacks with, etc etc.

I had no idea if the maulotaur's hammer even reached a certain distance, or how quickly it swung. That just results in "gee I guess I should just get close and hold M1 and maybe some will hit" instead of being able to time attacks. Ditto with the charge, no possibility of a maulotaur roar when charging and smashing sound on hit or anything? Basic things like hammer swing SFX and impact noises would help.

Basically, imagine trying to play Doom CTF with weapons that have no sounds, no animations, and no puffs. Yeah, that's basically how it feels.

2) Some type of sounds when switching weapons could help, since having to look down and count rightclicks is a bitch when in the middle of a fight. Even a simple click noise would do. They don't have to be played to other players.

3) Things you already know about the Juggernaut's flamethrower and Deathvile's "instant" flame.

EDIT: Also why doesn't the deathvile use like, diabolist sprites or something

You need other weapons for bosses! that imp's arm freake me out!

The problem is, good coders in Zandronum are a lot more common than good artists. I can't art at all, for instance (ART IS NOW A VERB DON'T QUESTION IT)

[CloudFlash]

Nah, just request something at the Spriting Carnival. Or go to 4chan and say 'you faggots cannot make proper sprites for doom engine. Prove me wrong'

[Cruduxy]

Well the fighter's hammer of retrib-dont know rest of spelling!- would make a good start for maulotaur

Master of puppets has alot of sprites for various doom monsters. You could even recolor some stuff from there too.

[Catastrophe]

Hmmm preferably non-baron sprites please, we already have two of those.

[Impact]

Hey where's the servers for this? I want to try it properly! :D

Also, a good megawad deserves an IRC channel, don't you think? For questions and stuff, just an idea.

[Catastrophe]

Maybe one day we can get an irc channel, but look for the best-ever server. There will be a grandvoid server once 1.1 is done.

Speaking of which Superdemon1.1 is now out, check the topic for the changelog

I don't know what kind of sprite do u need for my boss but u can change it

[-Jes-]

Regarding the Wolf3D boss's Cyan flamer sprites, I think it's a problem regarding the fact that you're using additive rendering on a 32bit truecolor texture.. that for all intents doesn't use alphas beyond basic masking. Then, when Zandro falls back (for whatever reason) to masking only, it garbles the alpha data.

Converting your sprites to paletted will fix it. (I already tested with Doom gfx)

I was playing just now and when someone left after winning as the boss this happened:

[/spoiler]

I don't know how long that would have stayed as the other guy left and it was just the blank and I left on the server, but I reconnected as I was typing this to check and it has gone, probably because everyone else apart from one afk spectator left.

[doomwolf555]

So will be my boss in the next version?

Odd, I don't think I can fix that problem unfortunately, or rather I don't know how; might be a problem with the engine itself.

Please detail your map more, it's literally just a bunch of rectangles.

The intermission background is insanely bright. Tone it down a tad will ya? :)
