I would love this more if the corpses didn't block! They make evading the Arch-Vile attacks all the more nightmarish! It's not like it makes that much of a difference anyway since you can barely see where you go with the flame elementals erupting beneath you all the time!

 

...sigh... emphasis on the more part. I really wanna play through the entirety of Doom 2 with this on.
Don't judge me.

can you explain what you mean by that? It's probably an easy fix.

The corpses block movement over them, at least in dsda-doom -complevel 2, which is what I tried. The first time I tried playing MAP01 with this, I killed two of them side by side and they blocked the hallway, preventing me from progressing any further.

I don't have this bug in GZDoom, so this is probably just a sourceport error. I think i have an idea on how to fix it, And i'll be able to upload an untested patch tomorrow.

 

edit: holy jesus it's so much worse now. i tried to replace the deathstate with the pain elemental's to try to get rid of the body, but the side effect is that every monster spawns 2 archviles every time it dies, creating an infinite russian doll of archviles. What have I done?

I try it in Crispy Doom. I haven't checked PRBoom+ yet, shame on me.

 

EDIT: Bug persists in PRBoom+ too. UMAPINFO fork, btw.

What you have done?

Philosophy.

 

If each arch-vile spawned two more upon death, is Doomguy killing them in a way... breeding them?

 

 

...hold up

no you were right, this is incredibly dumb. I love it! But I'm not going to record it. I barely got through MAP01 in twenty attempts or so

This also happened in Zandronum. It wasn't all corpses, but seemed to be when two or more corpses were quite close together.

The collision issues still remain for me with PRBoom+, even loading the PRBOOM-ARCH after the mod, or before.

 

Also, shouldn't you reset the melee states to zero or minus one or something like that, so modded arch-viles don't go back to the original sprites when in melee range of each other?

 

Also hehe floating lost-arch
