Spoiler: Known Bugs (Open)

1: Freezing Grells bug (Minor/Glitchy) :
When frozen, Grells don't take the palette from A_GenericFreezeDeath and have somewhat unpredictable behaviour in terms of item drop rates.

2: The 'Star' bug (Minor/Annoyance) :
After a sentry levels up while it's stacked on top of another sentry, if the sentry below is destroyed the one above will fall, but the level up stars will remain in the air. The star bug also applies to sentry invulnerability and resistance boosters. Nothing game breaking, just weird and annoying.

3: Multiplayer bugs (No longer a concern) :
Originally this was going to be a 1-2 player game. However, nothing worked properly online because of the way I designed this mod, so I've completely abandoned multiplayer support and made this wad fully compatible with single player. Man, some of those bugs online were just plain weird.

Though, you should watch out for sentries when you are in front of them.

Beyond that..

The difficulty controls starting cash I believe.

I did. No regrets. Cheers.

CloudFlash wrote: It doesn't work on zandro? D:! Another reason why Zandobando should have never been born

Well, going with that logic, it works with Zan now, so that must mean Zandronum should have been born?

Yeah!! Like who the hell even DOES THAT?!??!?!?!? What a JACKASS RIGHT?!??!?!?!?

Qent wrote: My suspicions were correct: it is this bug. The mod will work in Zandronum 1.1. Meanwhile, you can keep it compatible with 1.1 and 1.0 by moving all DECORATE includes from actors/ to actors/d2td/ (and be sure to update #include statements in your main DECORATE file).

Yep, that's all it was, I had no idea at the time. Thanks all! Fixed with the update.

Initial feedback:
So much time tween waves.
Health text over turrets disappears way too quickly.
OHGOD THE BEEEEEEES!!!!
Also, NOSKINS? Really??

Time between waves has been decreased.
I sorta disagree with the health text over turrets, if it lasted any longer when the repair gun gets up to max level the armor display would be an illegible blur of overlapping numbers.
YES!!! THE BEEEEEEEEES!!!!
And yeah, haven't worked with skins before so I'm kind of lagging behind on that. I'll look into it for the full version.
Thanks for the input.

Hahaha yeah, I honestly didn't think it would be a big deal. But it works with Zan now, and lesson has been learned, so all is good.

Sure thing.

I personally recommend downloading a version with music though, almost all music files included are Doom remixes by some great musicians: Ashley Carr, Sonic Clang, and a couple others. The music really compliments this mod. Anyways, made a couple variants with only the music / info displays stripped.

No Custom Music (saves 16.3 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5vvbi ... ippedA.rar

No Sentry Info Popups (saves 15.2 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/download/8ofn7 ... ippedB.rar

Hahaha, to each their own right? Thanks for the good luck, it's always better then bad luck.

IdeIdoom wrote: I tried it out and it was pretty good.
Though, you should watch out for sentries when you are in front of them.

Hahaha yeah. Grenade sentries are the worst for that. They just take your fully upgraded health, bend it right over a table and go straight to town. Fucking grenade sentries. Playing on Pussy mode definitely has it's benefits.

Ahahahahaha!!! I always find it hilarious when people say that.

-Jes- wrote:.. Anyway, not sure if intentional, but Veteran starts with Repairgun selected.

Fixed. Originally Veterans and Badasses didn't give a pistol start, which I decided to change just to Badasses out of the goodness of my heart... if you can call it that. Ended up mixing up the order when I changed Veteran back.

If someone is reading this and didn't play it, DO IT NOW!!!
can't stop playing this :D
edit: how to manually fire sentries? I am shooting them with my repairgun and nothing happens.

Hahaha thanks dude! You can only manually fire a sentry when it has a target within it's detection range.
