Dragon Mech's Wads For Skulltag/Zandronum

[Dragon Mech]

i've run into a bit of a problem with my wad file, so i will not be releasing a prerelease copy the readme file. and i may not be able to add friendly monsters either as i have to start the wad from scratch again. i'll keep you all updated on the progress.

[Dragon Mech]

i'm still having issues with skulltag and zandronum randomly freezing when i play with my Wad file. i'm not sure if my PC is too slow or if there is something wrong with the WAD. Kherr, i would like your help with this since you know more about this stuff. just tell me what you need and i'll try to get it to you

What exactly do you need assistance with? Glad to help with anything.

i need to find out if it is my wad file that is causing zandronum/skulltag to freeze randomly or if my computer is too slow. there isn't a set parameter that makes the game freeze. i've had it freeze when i was doing deathmatches with bot players, in normal games (single player doom) and on other map wads as well. it doesn't matter what is going on either, it can happen when i'm using any weapon and it dosent matter if i have any friendly monsters spawned. some times it dosen't happen at all. any help would be greatly welcomed.

I sat and played with your weapons mod on both chillax v5.0 and cchest4 for around 2 hours on 16x Anistropic filtering and 4x rendering passes and hi-res textures and in 1080p and I had absolutely no issues. I have video files of two levels I played on and there wasn't a single issue on my end. However, I only have v2.

Your BFG needs tweaked so that it doesn't kill the player (you can give it it's own damagetype and then make the damagefactor 0 for the damagetype specified to the BFG in the player class so that they take no damage from the gun since I was killed by the BFG even in godmode which means it hit me for over 10k damage in a single hit which is beyond what godmode covers you for).

Your Plasma Rifle also needs tweaked to not be so fucking OP because even in chillax it was laying waste in rooms. Also it needs to only consume 1 ammo per shot instead of 2 since there is only one projectile leaving the gun. Personal opinion on the ammo consumption though.

Overall the mod is actually really well done. Congrats. :3

thanks Kherr, i'll send you PM tommarow with a url where you can download a copy of the beta version of version 3.0.
thanks for pointing out that the plasmagun was using 2 rounds, i'll have that fixed in the copy that you'll be getting. one of the reasons the plasmagun is so powerful is that i added the "+ripper" string to the projectile. so it does more damage plus i got tired of the doom plasmarifle. i don't have any plans to remove the ripper string but i may lower the power of the projectile in the final public version. the Big F***ing Gun isn't for close ranges (i even stated this in the readme). it's made to be a weapon of mass destruction. as it flys downrange, it shoots out smaller plasmaballs. these are ment to clear the room and damage any big monsters. the projectiles themselves can't hurt you. it's the explosions of the projectiles that damages the player. personaly, i only use it in desperate situations.like places where there are tons of monsters. the Big F***ing Gun is ment to be a challenge to use. the over powered explosion of the main projectile has two perposes. 1: it frags or damages any monsters in it's blast radius. 2: it prevents players from abusing the power of the weapon by cheating and using god mode and infinite ammo. i think i have V3.0 setup like i want it now but, i welcome any coments that you may have Kherr. i also invite you to use XWE to look at the decorate file. Happy fragging

i'm sorry i've been so quiet the last few weeks about my weapons mod but i've been tracking down bugs and making adjustments to weapons and monsters, i think i have fixed all of the bugs including the one that was causing skulltag and zandronum to freeze. Kherr has tried to use my wad file and said that he he was getting a bunch of error messages. so untell Kherr and i can fix any errors that may still exist, i don't know when i'll be able to release this version of my weapons WAD. but when i do, it WILL have the ally monsters and i WILL make a version that is merged with the MEGA-BLOOD wad file. so i'm asking all of you to please wait a little longer because i want this to be an epic collection of weapons that will make hell shit it self.

i'm still trying to balance the power of my weapons. some of them are so over powered that is just no fun to use them. i have increased the amount of friendly monsters to about 30 and i am going to make some of them drop random items like ammo or health. i really don't know when i'll be able to release this last version of my weapons mod but i'm going to get it out to you all as soon as it it done.

hello TOC.
i'm almost done tweaking my wad file. still finding a bug or two *SLAM* (blasted cockroach) but i just fixed the last one so it should be to long now. as soon as Kherr tries it and offers his opinion, i'll work on the read me and credits files and get evrything together and post a download url to this topic so everyone can get a copy.
