Unofficial Shotgun Frenzy v1.4 Update (Current Release: 6)
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2014 4:22 am
Edit: I've now made a Github project for the Unofficial Shotgun Frenzy Update. https://github.com/t3hplayer/unofficial_shotgun_frenzy
Update 6:
Sets each player's starting cash. For example, if I wanted my server to have players start with 2000 instead of 2500 cash, I'd simply issue "set sf_startcash 2000" in my server console.
Similar to sf_startcash, except this sets the team's starting cash. Only relevant for SF maps.
Sets the length of the game up to the two-minute warning for the Guardian Wave. So, if you set this to 33 minutes, the Guardian Wave will happen at the 35 minute mark.
This one is a little tricky. Internally, the game alters the amount of starting cash a player gets based on how much time has elapsed. That way, players get more cash when they join later in the game. The idea is that this helps late-joining players stay competitive, since they haven't had as long to earn cash. In reality, though, some players find that too much cash is earned over time, and they like to reduce this payout. That's what this variable is for. Set it to a negative value if you want to cash to increase more slowly over time, and use a positive value for the opposite effect. In my experience, -8 is a pretty good setting.
This one is fun. This sets the percentage of monsters which spawn with super fast running speed (from 0 to 100). Only triggers when there are at least 3 players.

I'll probably eventually make a Dropbox or something, so we don't all have to just mooch off of Best. Ever.
Feedback appreciated.
This is an *unofficial* update / patch for Shotgun Frenzy v1.4. Over time, users have found various exploits, imbalances, and other things to exploit in Shotgun Frenzy v1.4. This *unofficial* update seeks to address these various issues.What is it?
Shotgun Frenzy is a cooperative Doom 2 mod that pits players against a bunch of huge waves of enemies. For more information, check the v1.4 release thread on the Zandronum forums.What's Shotgun Frenzy?
I'm just a guy who really likes Shotgun Frenzy. I'm not one of the contributors to the original project (which is why I'm calling this an *unofficial* update), and I didn't even know about it until I happened upon a server running v1.4 one day. I started running it on my own server, and I finally got fed up with users exploiting various money cheats and generally being kinda lame about how they played it.Who are you?
Note: I plan to eventually have a proper changelog of what's changed in every version. For now, though, I'm just going to attempt to list everything I've altered.What's changed / fixed as of the current version?
Update 6:
- Rocket turrets no longer kill players
- Added new options in the "Controls" menu to add quick-binds for some commonly used items
- Player controllable turrets in SF maps no longer allow more than one player to try to use them at a time, which previously resulted in the turret ceasing to function
- Fixed elevators in SF maps so it's impossible for users to block them
- Fixed recycle / purchase prices so that actual values match the values listed
- Fixed recycle menu so there's (hopefully) no way to earn money by selling something you don't own
- Altered explosive shot to work around a Zandronum bug
- Beefed up super weapons
- Added upgrades for super weapons
- Added server console setting to fix money-over-time rate (see below)
- Added various other server console settings which can alter gameplay (see below)
- Added Arachnotron and Spider Mastermind enemy types to spawning waves
- Nerfed dual-shot razor

It seems most of the Shotgun Frenzy servers are running this update, actually.Are there any servers running this?
Right now it's just in the WADs section at Best. Ever.Where can I get it?
