A_JumpIfInventory("PowerInvisibility","Forgetting",AAPTR_TARGET)

should work.

>>2540981
Yeah definitely. If I can keep the momentum this might actually be something big. I entertained the idea briefly when I saw the thread about GLOOME but I just shrugged it off initially.

>>2540984
Perhaps in the future we can expect better Netcode for GLOOME? That would certainly be nice.

Yo, sorry I've not been around lately. Been rather busy.

With the release of GLOOME I'm considering breaking off from ZDoom modding and making my combat mod into something a little more. I've gotta work on a lot of stuff beforehand but it's a possibility that this might become a whole game in itself.

I'm gonna get some concepts and sketches down and make a few test graphics etc but I'm excited by the prospect.

So I was thinking of a silly completionist idea

for the full mod (dungeons and shit included) I had an idea of a Handbook/Journal kind of thing, where once you visit a location, find an item or slaughter an enemy you fill up a page in the journal - the pages would contain a sketch and some information about them, locations and such.

Now it wouldn't be the spirit of the mod without a little comedy - I was thinking of making an Intelligence stat (to control potency of magic and alchemy) - here's where the book comes in, if your INT stat is below a certain threshold, the handwriting and lexicon used are more limited - perhaps to that of a child's. Drawings are primitive scribbles with mistakes and such, but are still legible to a degree - whilst high INT would neaten up the spelling & grammar, clearer pictures and other such stuff.
I was thinking of making it an uncommon thing, though - say if the player only has 1-2 INT,

>How experienced are you at modding Doom?
I've been modding on and off for 5+ years, so I'd consider myself competent.

>Do you use Z/GZdoom when making your mods?
I mainly work with GzDOOM but I try to make my mods software compatible.

>How proficient would you say you are at using DECORATE?
I'd say I'm pretty good, not the best - but good enough to facilitate my needs.

>Do you enjoy coding more or mapping?
I like both but ultimately prefer coding, I can turn an idea into code easily, but I can't turn an idea into a map quite so. I kind of trap myself by making rooms as I go, instead of creating a general layout. I'm working on correcting that though.

>>2117871
Yeah, I know. I did have a plan for a short campaign kind of idea with maybe 3-5 maps based on stealth gameplay - the enemies would be a pain in the ass to fight, so avoiding them entirely would be a better idea. Imagine being stuck in a corridor with a handful of Stalkers & Sentinels wailing on you.

>>2117864

Huh, it's weird when you look back through your wip mods.

I found a stealth-esque mod for Strife. I can't remember why I dropped it. It also had some modified enemies, the Sentinels got a buff - they dodge your shots and fire rapidly, they're a total bitch to fight. Stalkers leap at you and shoot your face off.

Some of this shit is awesome - I'm gonna rip some of it. That flaming pillar takes Human BBQ to a whole new level.

I'm in the IRC now.

>>2116284
I'm not sure yet, if I can get it to work, sure - but to be honest, the compass isn't a definite idea - I just wanted to mess about a little.

>>2115708
So I pilfered graphics from Daggerfall and started work on the compass - it doesn't work properly right now as you can see but it took, what, 10 minutes?

So I was thinking, would a compass be a good idea? It could work in one of several ways:
>Always on - even at the start of the game, (ala Elder Scrolls) can be turned on or off via options menu
>Collectible item - You have to pick up the compass, before that, you have no guidance - can be turned on or off via options.
>Inventory Item - Like the collectible item, except when you use it, it shows the compass permanently until using it again which would deactivate it.

Appearance
>Would the compass be a strip like TES or an actual Dial Compass.

Let me know what you think - honestly, this idea would be more for the full mod (pseudo open world & dungeons) rather than the combat overhaul (combat + Hexen gameplay)

Expect something in the coming week - I've got a few hours tomorrow evening free so I'll probably dedicate that time to the mod.

Hello yes, I am not dead - I've been really busy with work and shit also I've been playing Far Cry 4 a lot - so I haven't really had much time to mod, I burnt myself out.

>>2080941
It'd make more sense if the tech textures were replaced with Hell variants too.

>>2077518
I love raymoo's work but I've gotta admit - the sprites look way too clean, almost plasticy.

Don't know what all this shit with donald is about - he seems pretty chill, he helped me with the mouse UI stuff for my mod.

>>2073454
Something tells me it could very well be a placeholder
maybe

>>2063101
I.. I hope you guys like curves.

Do you ever think you should stop but you keep going?

>>2063037
It's fine though, the layout wasn't too difficult to recreate, in fact - I recreated it in a matter of minutes now that I know what I want to do.

Fuck, argh - I was building a map for Push (got some spare time, felt like taking a break from Combat thing) and GzDOOM builder crashed like a bitch. Serves me right for not saving.

>>2062454
you'd need two graphics, the world sprites and the inventory sprite, use inventory.icon for the inventory sprite and the world sprite in the Spawn: state.
