I found it difficult to use grenade launcher with autoaim ON because in the situations where the monster is above me, the grenades tend to hit the ledge of the platform instead of the monster it is on. Can something be done about it (like maybe make it aim a bit higher) or should I turn off autoaim? |

WTH? This doesn't even require swapping of ammo types.
Just use some non-Doom-keytypes as multipliers.
eg:
Cash=Crossbow Ammo + (Hexen Cave Key*400) |

This was awesome.
It really was fantastic to finally see someone come up with a modifier that found a way to use Adereth's old idea of using Heretic guns in Doom - co-op continuity of keeping weapons from map to map is really the best for it.
You made some great tweaks to those weapons, and the way you've integrated the artifacts is excellent too.
Also, the shopping hubmap is a fantastic design! I loved the Strife "security guards" and really think this is the closest anyone has ever come to making an HQ-style map which is actually useful

Glad you could be so specific in regard to the improvements you wish to see. I'd spoofishly re-quote the "add more items and shit" part, but I actually couldn't make that sound anymore stupid.
Please realise that this is about the Frenchos creating a sensible new framework for Doom players to work in, not just adding random shit for the sake of it. Let's keep it ZD here, not turn it into yet-another-Skulltag-mod |

What would be cool is that if you can spend your money to increase your health meter. |

This would be a good idea if only all the keys weren't lost on map change.
On the other hand, it is apparently possible to give/take/check the seventeen puzzle items from hexen. Players can have up to 25 of each but they will carry only 1 through map change (just like heretic inventory stuff) so keep it in mind. Here's the list of class names. This is taken from zdoom wiki with the exception of PuzzFlameMask (it is somehow named PuzzSkull2 in the actual code):
Code: | "PuzzBook1",
"PuzzBook2",
"PuzzCWeapon",
"PuzzFWeapon",
"PuzzGear1",
"PuzzGear2",
"PuzzGear3",
"PuzzGear4",
"PuzzGemBig",
"PuzzGemBlue1",
"PuzzGemBlue2",
"PuzzGemGreen1",
"PuzzGemGreen2",
"PuzzGemRed",
"PuzzMWeapon",
"PuzzSkull",
"PuzzSkull2", |
Alternatively, you can somehow utilize "Mana1" and "Mana2" classes which are Hexen ammo types. The maximum is 200 for each without backpack and 400 with it.
You still need to waste an ammo type from doom/heretic if you want to keep your pickup-items (coins) though. You can't use keys as pickup-items because it seems like untagged keys cannot be removed on pickup through any means or hackarounds at all (damn it I wish they could). Granting artifacts means players might possibly use them (and even crash their clients if it's a hexen one).
P.S. The only APROP_ property of player object that is not reset on map change is APROP_Health. There aren't many that you can even change but either way every single other property will be reset. No luck with this idea. |

That wasn't my Idea either but they came up with that themselves :p.
Sr here came up with an Awesome idea to make it work elseway |

The code has been done, we only need to test it!
For the ammo limit, we found it is really conveniable for players to keep it at 400.
That'll prevent the money whores to steal all the money they find, and disconnecting once they die (as I have seen plenty of people doing that).
But we are planning some bugfixes and optimisations (mostly the playerratio for exiting ). |

D'OH!!
I'd forgotten the part about needing to carry over to next map
Well, two possibilities still come to mind:
Do the same as I suggested above, but use another ammo type as the "carry" multiplier, constantly checking to see if player maxes out:
Code: | If ammotype1=400 {ammotype1=0; ammotype2++;}
delay(5);
restart; |
The other suggestion is simpler, but would require a bit more of a rewrite. See, it's not the ammo limit that is the problem, it's the way that you use a wastefully inflated currency system. 5 coins is the lowest denomination that can be spent in the shop, but why? Just divide the coins given - and the shop prices - by 5 and your 400 limit (effectively) becomes 2000.
(Also, I thought I'd edited rather than doubleposting last time - somebody should feel free to clean that shit up.) |

IMO I'd have done that:
Code: | if (AMMO_MONEY >= AMMO_MAX)
{
AMMO_MONEY2 = AMMO_MONEY;
AMMO_MONEY = 0;
}
|
And then, replacing the ammo routine as wanted. |
