Is there a way to turn the 'safety system' of the BFG and the rocket launcher off?

[philcul]

As you all know there is a kind of safety measure when it comes to the rocket launcher and the BFG, so that you don't automatically shoot when choosing this weapon while holding the mouse button down. I just wanted to know if there is a way to turn this off. I'm using GzDoom 4.7

Unless there is some obscure GZDoom option that I missed, there is no way to turn off the 'safety system' as it is hardcoded.

 

A very small note: by that I mean in terms in disabling it without mods. You know? Vanilla stuffs.

You can, though it's a mod-side feature rather than a user option. In GZDoom the safety-lock is controlled by the WEAPON.NOAUTOFIRE flag -- remove it and it'll work nicely.

 

MBF21 has an equivalent NOAUTOFIRE flag as well, if you want it to work in other ports too.

First of all, thank you very much! But given that I have no modding experience at all... how would I do that?

I think doing that would void the warranty

Here I made this. Just run it like you would with a normal mod and it should work fine. I know it's not the best way but at least it will work I hope it helps. rocketlauncher.zip

I just triple click the bfg when I switch to it. Pretty good habit to be in (learned from mrzzul).

The rocket launcher and BFG9000 are just over 28 years old. The warrenty has probably long expired.

idk if anybody wants this but I a just going to put it out here. Here are all the mods:

 

-Just for the rocketlauncher: rocketlauncher.zip

-just the bfg: bfg.zip

-This of for both: bfg + rl.zip

Hey, thank you very much, that's really nice! Can't wait to try it out later!

No, the internal computer that runs the BFG keeps things running smoothly for at least a few hundred years. The UAC may have skimped on explosive restraints for the rocket launcher though.
