# DOOM TOURNAMENT

- Instagib DM mode
- UT HUD
- Impact Hammer (slot 1)

- Enforcer (slot 2)
- Dual Enforcers (slot 2)
- Restored reloading (optional)

- Sniper Rifle (slot 0)
- Rocket Launcher (slot 9)
- "Instant Rocket" mode toggleable with reload
- Scaling/Customization options for the HUD
- UT-like player movement physics
- Visual recoil affecting aim (improved A_Swing from Soundless Mound, can be
toggled)
- UT-like weapon dropping style
- UT player classes
- Heretic compatibility
- Spanish localization
- UT gore system (toggleable)
## In progress
- General polishing, bugfixing and rebalancing
- Add some more effects
- Lava/Slime footstep sounds?
- French, Italian and German localizations (I'll need help for these)
## Ideas
- Code cleanup / backporting of improvements from Doomreal
- Stop using A_Overlay instead of player.SetPSprite, this breaks stuff (and
is the reason the Enforcer does that lowering thing when reloading)
- Simplify certain fire loops (especially the minigun/biorifle)
- Add ####-based tweening to some weapon animations where needed
- Remember to flip the translocator model so people stop complaining
- Fancy titlemap like Doomreal
- Pickup lights like Doomreal
- Figure out some alternative invincibility item. Kinda like how I improvised
the backpack replacement
## Future plans
- Additional model optimization and cleanup (optional, not needed for 1.0)
- Trim out unused animations (this one is going to be very time-consuming)
- Add ammo counters to Pulsegun, Minigun, Flak Cannon and Rocket Launcher once
scripted textures are implemented
- Redo player models once GZDoom gets a well deserved model animation system
overhaul (mainly to clean up the current, messy implementation of this)
- Add weapon attachment support to player models when that is also added in
(at the moment all player models have an integrated placeholder weapon)
- Port some of my UT weapon mods (and maybe also some of my personal faves by
others, such as Psi Weapon Dreams)
- Hexen/Strife compatibility ???
- Relics?
## Known bugs
- Translocator allows telefragging other players in coop (no idea if I can
even fix this)
- Biorifle sludge doesn't attach properly when it lands on the edge between
sectors. This is most noticeable with moving sectors and 3d floors.
