[ALPHA] Shotgun Frenzy Plus! (Ver.1.7) A Tribute for the chaos!

[Samuzero15tlh]

Hey there Forum, Samu's here to show up something I've been working on since last year!

Shotgun Frenzy Plus
A fork from Shotgun Frenzy (a Doom 2 mod) which adds more stuff for Zandronum.

What is this?
This is a fork from Shotgun Frenzy.

How did you get in here Samu?
Yet the development was'nt stopped at all, Greg339 (I think...) and T3h Player decided to launch a set of unoffical patches which it introduced some more fixes to the mod. Like the reducction of lag, balances on demons, cheaper prices, etc...

One day, when we're playing the mod, Zanieon was pissed with some Cyber-Barons (a strong enemy on the mod) for the excess of damage output dealt against players, so he did some other balances more. And i've followed him, just to support the changes.

And now the latest update for the patch was the unofficial v8f, it was intended to develop another patch, but for the unstability of the code, I've decided to make an entire fork to fix the problem from the roots.
Initial Setup

To run this you need:

• Zandronum 3.1 Alpha OR Zandronum 3.0
• A copy of Doom 2 or Freedoom 2.
• The Skulltag Content wad.

Loading order should be:

• sfplus_core_xxx.pk3

• sfplus_mus_xxx.pk3
• skulltag-content3.0-beta.pk3

Yeah yeah, no screenies, no action, i know.
I'll get some soon.

For now, have some screenies of the wip phases of this mod.






v0-t12 / v0-t13 Screenies.

No seriously, read this for the love of hell.

• I'm NOT, the owner of Shotgun Frenzy, that credit goes to Wad'a'Holic.
• I have no Permission to edit Shotgun Frenzy directly, yet taking the
  same action as T3h Player, I made this, as a paralel version for the same mod.
• This mod uses as base the latest relase of Shotun Frenzy. Version: 14.
• This mod is based on the series of patchs made by t3h player. So thank him also for making this mod a reality.
• This is NOT an offical relase for Shotgun Frenzy.
• YES. This thing uses a lot of stuff taken from Realm667, You got a problem with that? I mean, I know you'd hate to see the same resources seen in each mod of doom, but for me, in this mod, they're the spot-light to this wonderful tribute of Shotgun Frenzy. Also, I'm lazy to do each weapon from scratch.
• You're allowed to make mods based on this. Just don't modify this and do a different patch.
• You're allowed to take code from here, with one condition: Say thanks to Shotgun Frenzy, SF Plus, and to the other sources where they might been taken.

• ACS-Utils, ACS-Rects and the Samu-Terminal are used in this mod. All of them free to use for everyone. (The credits are not needed, but i'll give you an arepa if you do it anyway :3)
• You're allowed to spread this to the world. With no profitable pruposes. (Come on, all of the wads out there are free to make for everyone, why you would do that? If you need money so badly, then get a job. Hippe.)
• Last, but not least, if you found bugs, go to the zandronum forum and to Samu's Chambers. (A discord server where i update this thing and other doomy stuffs.)

[TDRR]

This looks freakin' awesome from the screenshots (and GIFs) alone. I really like the menu and the HUD, you did a spectacular job with the presentation there! I hope to try this in LAN soon-ish.

Also, hate to be that guy, but you misspelled my name here:

Korshun, TDDR and Mr. Satan:

It's TDRR, not TDDR :p

[Samuzero15tlh]

Man, you really are the mod fork master. :D

Can't deny it. I like a mod, I make a fork, simple

[Samuzero15tlh]

Relase!

Shotgun Frenzy Plus (Version 0, Test# 12) it was already prepared to go since the last year! lol, forgot to update this.

This version features 2 new thingies that will literally change the playstyle.
-) Kill Streaks rewarding system (Gain U.Ps by killing monsters without dying)
-) Player Upgrades (Buffs your current body and grants you other bonuses by using U.Ps. Get to the Health Terminal to check that out)

And with it, some more improvements, like the air-strike planning attacks, a new turret and much much more!

But since that's 2020-ish new, have another relase that fixes the last one (Version 0, Test #13)

Check them both on the first post!

[Ænima]

Airstrike?? Like bombs? Or maybe a high-powered aerial machinegun (American A10)? :o

[Zanieon]

Airstrike?? Like bombs? Or maybe a high-powered aerial machinegun (American A10)? :o

Airstrikes has been in the mod since Wad'A'Holic era, it's just a row of markers that later causes the trail of explosions, so it's actually more like a Carpet Bombing

[Nomakh]

Shop menu was a little uncomfortable for a first time, cause I played SF a lot of times earlier, but now I can say, that this mod really improves SF. I should play it more... thoroughly?, but first experience was really good.

[t3hplayer]

Good to see someone else has been working on it! I think Shotgun Frenzy is probably one of my favorite mods of anything ever, and that's why I took a stab at fixing it up way back when. It was always fun, but the last official release from Wad-o-Holicit had some major balance issues and some bugs that trolls loved to exploit (overpowered weapons, doors and elevators that could be body blocked, etc.)

But then, I got distracted with 500 other things, and I haven't really looked at it in ages. I recall that someone (maybe OP?) reached out to me at my Doom email address maybe a year ago or so with some variety of feedback, but the details are foggy at this point. I was too busy to get to it at the time, and I managed to forget about it by the time I had time once again. And it looks like the mail provider has deleted the old mail. Sigh. Anyway, whoever that was, my apologies. It's rare that people are kind enough to send feedback, but I never got to it. Damnit.

[Samuzero15tlh]

Glad to know you're still alive :D

I'm actually on the same page as you right now, busy with the real life like everyone, however, I'm not forgetting this project just yet :)

You're welcome to DM on discord if you have some ideas to add in the project.
