  • UT-like weapon dropping style
  • UT player classes
  • Heretic compatibility
  • Spanish localization

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

  • 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)
    • Recenter the backpack mesh (it was a complete hack job to begin with)
  • 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.
