Managed to get a True Legendary Cyberdemon to spawn on Map 29: Hell's Cauldron, and got to see most (all?) of his attacks from up on a cliff. I was really impressed with the amount of effort put into an enemy that spawns so rarely, pretty damn epic. Ended up saving and trying to fight him a few separate times to see just how good I was (spoiler: I got killed way more times than I killed him). Even with spread, rage, 500/500 life, and the D-BFG, he pretty much popped me in a split second every time.
Say what you want about LCA, but that's the type of challenge that keeps me playing Doom. Looking forward to playing through again whenever there's a new update.

Sidenote: Damn this forum is srs bidness
Thanks man :biggrin: It took sooo long to get him finished. He might be stronger than the Leg Card but if he is then that wasn't intentional. I'm glad you're enjoying the mod, the new version should be finished soon.

Also now try playing it with Valiant!

Awesome!

I am about to perform clean up procedure 69 and cut the crap out of this thread, because apparently LCA is serious business. I also read that "Wads should be banned" Just fyi no one gets to decide who bans wads unless server admins dont want them (or unless they are quite bad in the level moonman.wad is)

Also Legendary, you and I need to talk about not only your double posting but the fact that you ignored not only your fellow community members but an Admin. Please PM me or hit me up on irc when you can (or I'll PM you after i get of my shift, its fine)

and Dynamo, I know your trying to get a point across but..... did you really need to do that?

Cleanup complete. Dont start this again otherwise ... well.. your gonna have a bad time
thanks MIfu for the cleanup ihate it when getting too many posts from my email. wish i could unsub this thread but nah.

Can we make LCA's (and also those from Complex) hitscan bullets go through other players by default? I think it is clear that people are always complaining about pushing on servers and it adds nothing other than causing drama and griefing. Maybe add a CVar to toggle THRUSPECIES so admins can enable it if they really want that.

(Yes, I know there are patches, but I'm not a fan of all those hacky solutions that have to copy-paste everything to change A_FireBullet which will also likely break with every new release.)

Don't know if this would be good, but what about gun enemies shooting tracers instead of hitscan?

There's a couple things you need to note:
1. Hitscans can't go through players - that's an engine limitation, as +MTHRUSPECIES can't be put on bullet puffs in the current Zandronum. 3.0 will fix that, though (I think)! The only mod that gets around this is Samsara, and it uses fake bullets which people hate (I'll put it this way: Having enemies shoot through decoration with the player unable to do so is bad (and if you're wondering, Samsara got around this by...making the enemies shoot fake bullets too)). And hitscans aren't generally the biggest issue with pushing, which leads us to:

2. The bigger issue with pushing is explosions - and there is no fix, AT ALL, that I know of. Even Samsara couldn't get around this.

3. BFG Spray can't be fixed either - again, engine limitation, there's no properties you can modify on BFGSpray to prevent it.

You can create pass-through hitscans by using projectiles (FastProjectile) with ACS. Qent (and others) pulled this off, in coopbullets_rc4.pk3 (source code is inside).

BFG Spray can be fixed by setting sv_smartaim 2 on your server.

For Fist puffs, Chainsaw puffs, weapons, explosions, you could do: DamageType "Player" and then do DamageFactor "Player", 0.0 on the DoomPlayer actor.

You can also add +NODAMAGETHRUST

I used all these techniques (above) in arkcore-1e.pk3. In arkcore-1e.pk3, all doom2 weapons do no pushing. (Fist, Chainsaw, Pistol, etc., BFG9000)

As someone said earlier, it's still not real hitscans, but close enough.

You don't get best of all worlds in here sadly. I wish doom offered some way of accessing the moment of receiving damage before the damage is processed, that'd help filter problems. For example you could compare damaging actor vs yourself, and go from there etc. But, yeah...

Hey, I noticed LCA doesn't work on the latest build of GZDoom. (Had an earlier GZD build and it worked just fine).
Gives me a bunch of DECORATE errors.
Any chance you could look into it?

Thanks!

Is this for real? lol

You just make the D-BFG useless, and buffed already overpowered bosses even more strong (and now we have less firepower) it's like you are aiming to make the unbalance even more worse.

No, the Leg Anni was unfinished to begin with. He didn't have a pain state so I added one along with a pain attack and heal just like the cyber. I clearly nerfed the Cardihilator which was a boss and the D-BFG was way too op to begin with. It kills everything in seconds including bosses. You're acting like I added 50-75% resist all I added was 35-40%.

So we you are telling me that to fix this "issue" we just have to unbalance even more the weapon set? Let's be constructive here.

@Legendary
Thank you for the proper answer

Sorry but that was funny, a weak boss that drop the most op weapon, take for example my version of the pyro cannon, it can kill quickly all bosses (less rm bosses) yeah yeah but the cost to use it is high asf and is a drop from one of the most harder monsters.

Oh my, that's a whole bunch of new stuff you've got there! I'm going to have fun checking out all that fresh content, haha. I may not have been online in servers at all in quite a long time, but I'm hoping to join you guys again sometime soon. You can bet I'm going to give this a good mention in my next gameplay video :biggrin:

In regards to your reply from a while back that I didn't see until now, I'm honoured to be one of those people that make it worth your while. I'll continue to support your work, for sure!
