1. Introduction
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
"Start reading from here"
|
|
- Me in most of my previous projects' readme files
|
|
|
|
1.1. It's back!
|
|
- - - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
Surprise surprise, after a decade of delving into other works, I have made my
|
|
epic return! The SWWM series has been, in a way, "rebooted" through this here
|
|
project, and so it goes. The UT side of things is pretty much dead for me, I've
|
|
jumped ship to GZDoom and boy are the pastures far greener and tastier here.
|
|
|
|
1.2. The Story So Far
|
|
- - - - - - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
You are a Demolitionist, an autonomous combat unit devised by genius nerd
|
|
gremlin and CTO of Akari Labs Saya Miyamoto, with additional feature work from
|
|
various collaborators, including a sentient AI core by Nekuratek, a robust
|
|
chassis from Unissix Crafts, a durable battery from the Tach-Engine Technology
|
|
Institute, potent jets from Forx Aeronautics and last but not least, trusty
|
|
Hammerspace Containers from Cyrus Enterprises. Added to this is your arsenal,
|
|
also composed of various bits and pieces provided by partners of Saya herself,
|
|
making you one of the deadliest machines out there.
|
|
|
|
So, what is the purpose you were built for? Why, of course, to get rid of all
|
|
those pesky demons that have suddenly begun invading Earth. The UAC has ruined
|
|
everything once again, shoving their noses into things they shouldn't mess with
|
|
as your creator announces. Those idiots think just one of their puny space
|
|
marines can do the job, but she's not buying that. And so, that's why you're
|
|
here.
|
|
|
|
Time to explode some demon knees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Inventory
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
There's a whole lot of stuff here, trust me. This ain't your usual weapons
|
|
replacer with just seven lil' slots and that's it, oh no no, it goes deeper.
|
|
|
|
2.1. Weaponry
|
|
- - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
As you'd expect, there are some familiar faces here from the old SWWM and Ultra
|
|
Suite lineups, along with other hidden gems from unreleased works. And this
|
|
time, none of that cheap retexture bullshit. We're doing all-original model
|
|
work here, and it won't be ugly crap like in SWWM Platinum Ep2, oh no. I've
|
|
learned since then, I've had time to practice and get good. You'll see...
|
|
|
|
2.1.1. Deep Impact
|
|
|
|
Slot 1. Melee weapon. Available at start.
|
|
A staple of SWWM, compressed air gun cranked to eleven.
|
|
Primary fire blows, can deflect projectiles or push you and enemies around.
|
|
Secondary fire charges up a big thicc air bullet that rips hard.
|
|
Remember to keep this puppy recharged by pumping more air, especially for that
|
|
altfire, which requires 100% charge.
|
|
|
|
2.1.2. Pusher
|
|
|
|
Slot 1. Melee weapon.
|
|
What was going to be Ultra Suite 2's flagship melee weapon.
|
|
Primary fire drills around.
|
|
Secondary fire charges up a nice impaling action. The weapon will fly off if
|
|
there's nothing to hit, however, so be careful (unless you want it to).
|
|
|
|
2.1.3. Explodium Gun
|
|
|
|
Slot 2. Pistol. Available at start.
|
|
Another SWWM staple, the pocket exploder.
|
|
Primary fire just goes shoot. Stuff will blow up.
|
|
Secondary fire arms the mag and throws it as a grenade. Stronger the more
|
|
bullets you have left in it.
|
|
You can have two of them, by the way.
|
|
|
|
2.1.4. Spreadgun
|
|
|
|
Slot 3. Shotgun.
|
|
Coming from Instant Action 3, of all places, here's this thing.
|
|
Primary fire fires (duh).
|
|
Secondary fire switches the ammo type for next reload on tap. Holding it and
|
|
tapping the fire button will unload whatever ammo you have inside, in case you
|
|
want to use it on the other shotgun weapon.
|
|
Reload does what you'd expect it to do.
|
|
This thing may be unwieldy, but boy does it let you use some fun ammo types.
|
|
|
|
2.1.5. Wallbuster
|
|
|
|
Slot 4. Revolver shotgun.
|
|
A slight readjustment of a weapon from Total Destruction (cancelled).
|
|
Primary fire fires one barrel.
|
|
Secondary fire fires five barrels.
|
|
Tertiary fire fires all barrels.
|
|
Reload opens the reload menu. The instructions provided are self-explanatory.
|
|
Shooting multiple barrels may allow you to bust doors, bars, and other
|
|
structures, quite handy.
|
|
|
|
2.1.6. Eviscerator
|
|
|
|
Slot 5. Flak cannon.
|
|
It's back, and it's still pure unadulterated danmaku.
|
|
Primary fire shoots out all them metal bits.
|
|
Secondary fire shoots out the whole shell as a grenade.
|
|
Tertiary fire toggles between wide and tight spread.
|
|
A rare case of a weapon that doesn't need to reload, as it pulls in ammo from
|
|
your inventory directly.
|
|
|
|
2.1.7. Hellblazer
|
|
|
|
Slot 6. Rocket launcher.
|
|
We've seen its predecessors before, but now it's time for the new cool kid, the
|
|
long-awaited Mk3 model of this marriage between demonic and human technology.
|
|
Primary fire shoots the rocket. You can hold it to preload a couple more for a
|
|
burst attack. Tapping the opposite button while doing so will stop the preload.
|
|
Secondary fire launches it as a bouncing grenade. Same deal.
|
|
Tertiary fire cycles ammo types for next reload. But if you're holding in some
|
|
rockets, it will instead select targets for seeking.
|
|
Reload does what you'd expect. But when holding rockets, it clears any selected
|
|
seek targets. That's pretty much all.
|
|
|
|
2.1.8. Biospark Carbine
|
|
|
|
Slot 7. Energy weapon.
|
|
The Sparkster is back, but not in pog form however.
|
|
Primary fire shoots a beam, just like in its UnSX 1 incarnation.
|
|
Secondary fire shoots them balls. You can combo these two, obviously.
|
|
Tertiary fire ejects the ammo core turning it into a heatseeking orb of death.
|
|
Reload reloads. You can stack two mags together if you want, for more shoots,
|
|
at the price of some slight unstability (you might hurt yourself with it).
|
|
|
|
2.1.9. Silver Bullet JET
|
|
|
|
Slot 8. Sniper rifle.
|
|
The big and bulky brother of that unwieldy thing from Ultra Suite.
|
|
Primary fire (you guessed it) shoots.
|
|
Secondary fire cycles ammo types for reload on tap. On hold, tap primary fire
|
|
to manually cycle the bolt, should you need to.
|
|
Reload does what you'd expect.
|
|
Tertiary fire is a zoom. Hold to keep increasing the zoom factor, up to 16x.
|
|
Crouching with this weapon braces it and disengages the recoil compensator,
|
|
which can definitely cause some self-hurt from how hot the jet gas can get.
|
|
|
|
2.1.A. Candy Gun
|
|
|
|
Slot 9. Pistol (but very strong).
|
|
A tasty treat of sweetness and DEATH. From the lost forever™ Weirdweapons pack.
|
|
Primary fire does the thing.
|
|
Secondary fire does also the same thing as its slot 2 counterpart.
|
|
Holding secondary and primary fire (in that order) will switch to yeeting the
|
|
entire damn gun, for some absurd reason. It's very effective, though.
|
|
Considering that you can dispose of it like that, you can hold some spares.
|
|
|
|
2.1.B. Ynykron Artifact
|
|
|
|
Slot 0. Divine WMD (replica).
|
|
The good ol' Mortal Cannon, now in all its unadulterated glory.
|
|
Primary fire initiates the charge process. Once done, a second press ignites
|
|
the beam, destroying everything in a straight line, and causing some very nice
|
|
chain reactions too. Really good for massive hordes.
|
|
Secondary fire will flip the ammo box around. Don't do this, you don't want to
|
|
see what happens when you charge and fire it later. Don't say I didn't warn
|
|
you (you won't be able to, you'll be dead by then).
|
|
If you spotted a certain detail in the docs of the cancelled SWWM Z, you may
|
|
have noticed that the "Mortal Cannon" and "Ynykron" were separate weapons
|
|
there. Well, let's just say that funky lore reasons™ have merged both of them
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
2.2. Powerups
|
|
- - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
Very much needed little things here.
|
|
|
|
2.2.1. Grilled Cheese Sandwich
|
|
|
|
The ultimate meal. Full 1000 health and full armor to boot. If you'd rather
|
|
keep it preserved nice and warm in your inventory, it might autoactivate to
|
|
prevent your untimely death, too. Note that you can't eat one again until
|
|
you're back at 500 health or lower.
|
|
|
|
2.2.2. Elemental Coating
|
|
|
|
A rehash of the ol' Barrier from other SWWM versions. Although it can't deflect
|
|
bullets anymore, it instead soaks up all elemental damage, allowing you to wade
|
|
through dangerous environmental hazards safely.
|
|
|
|
2.2.3. Ghost Artifact
|
|
|
|
Invisibility, basically. Have fun distracting enemies with it as they
|
|
fruitlessly try to attack literally nothing at the last spot they heard you.
|
|
|
|
2.2.4. Ragekit
|
|
|
|
It makes you angry, and also stronger and faster, but especially angry.
|
|
Eight times the melee damage, two times the fast, four times the damage
|
|
resistance... but boy are you going to scream.
|
|
|
|
2.2.5. Gravity Suppressor
|
|
|
|
Pops up on Heretic and Hexen. Lets you fly around freely without needing to
|
|
care about fuel usage from your jets.
|
|
|
|
2.2.6. Fucking Invinciball
|
|
|
|
Does what it says on the tin. Goes well with a glass of Sunny D.
|
|
|
|
2.2.7. Hammerspace Embiggener
|
|
|
|
A perfectly cromulent expansion to your ammo storage. Can have up to 8 active.
|
|
|
|
2.2.8. Universal Ammo Fabricator
|
|
|
|
What pops up as ammo in Hexen. Not exactly lottery, as it tends to prioritize
|
|
things nicely with what it builds.
|
|
|
|
2.2.9. Lämp
|
|
|
|
It's a floating magic lamp. It may attract moths.
|
|
|
|
2.2.A. Omnisight
|
|
|
|
You can see forever with this thing. A full automap, unlimited target scanning
|
|
in the minimap, and even highlights where keys and exits are. Quite handy.
|
|
|
|
2.2.B. Mykradvo Artifact
|
|
|
|
The Great Anomaly makes a return. Smite all those who dare try to attack you!
|
|
|
|
2.2.C. Devastation Sigil
|
|
|
|
A return of the olden "Complete Devastation" powerup of the early versions,
|
|
with a shiny new look, and some real attitude.
|
|
|
|
2.2.D. Divine Sprite
|
|
|
|
The Soul Spark from Platinum also makes a return, now with far more power.
|
|
|
|
2.2.E. Safety Tether
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you really just need to warp away from some nasty spot. This exists
|
|
for that very reason.
|
|
|
|
2.3. Armors
|
|
- - - - - -
|
|
|
|
You've got the war armor, pretty handy, robust, built from the same stuff as
|
|
your robot chassis, actually, though not as "high grade".
|
|
Then there's the blast suit, comfy and easy to wear, has very good splash
|
|
damage reduction, so keep that in mind.
|
|
And lastly there's the armor nuggets. These things can soak up damage like
|
|
crazy once you get them high enough. Above 100% they'll even start healing you!
|
|
|
|
2.4. Health
|
|
- - - - - -
|
|
|
|
We can go from measly health nuggets that add just one point of health, to the
|
|
four-faced tetrahedrons of health or the six-faced cubes. But all of these pale
|
|
in comparison to the mighty Refresher, which not only gives you a full 100 hp
|
|
boost, up to a cap of 500, but can also autoactivate should you take mortal
|
|
damage. Unlike the sandwiches, however, the Refresher might not be strong
|
|
enough to really prevent a lethal death.
|
|
|
|
2.5. Others
|
|
- - - - - -
|
|
|
|
Well, there's the keys, I guess. Those are always there.
|
|
And then, also the collectibles. Yup. You can find some fancy lil' boxes in
|
|
secret areas and whatnot, that might sometimes drop goodies, and some other
|
|
times little pieces of treasure that you might want to collect, as they can be
|
|
very valuable.

3. Credits
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This mod wouldn't have been possible if I had to create everything all by
|
|
myself (yeah, imagine me having to make SOUND EFFECTS and stuff, that'd be
|
|
impossible). Detailed credits are available in the credits.txt file. It's all
|
|
there, really.
|
|
|
|
3.1. UnSX Team Is
|
|
- - - - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
Still me, really. Just me. A shame, it is, but I really don't do well working
|
|
with other people.
|
|
|
|
3.2. Special Thanks
|
|
- - - - - - - - - -
|
|
|
|
Bless all of you from the Doom community that I love so much.
|
|
The very awesome and friend-shaped Marrub for making Lithium, one of the many
|
|
sources of inspiration for this here mod's little worldbuilding and some other
|
|
traits here and there (which you might easily notice).
|
|
CptSledge and Bunray for making me dive deep into the Doom Modiverse™ and its
|
|
interconnected lore and worldbuilding. You're a very fine pair of cool buds.
|
|
a1337spy for basically becoming the biggest fanboy of this mod. Glad you enjoy
|
|
it and its characters and lore (maybe a bit too much, but it's all in healthy
|
|
levels). You really are like the little brother I never had (gonna headpat ya).
|
|
Valerie Lavender for also supporting this mod and providing some neat little
|
|
things. You're a good bun and a good friend, stay awesome.
|
|
Kathy for being a real good friend and one who loves my lore and characters so
|
|
dearly. Stay cool, and keep creating.
|
|
Bouncy for being one of the few friends who can just stand there and listen to
|
|
me rant about lore for several hours straight. Many thanks.
|
|
Gutawer for not only being one of my ZScript senseis back in the day, but also
|
|
for creating the mighty Gutamatics library, which has made some fancy things
|
|
here possible.
|
|
KeksDose for being another ZScript mad genius and teaching me a nifty trick to
|
|
fuck around with VM aborts (which I then perfected).
|
|
ZZYZX and Nash for a handy piece of code to align stuff to slopes. The math's
|
|
hard, so I don't think I'd have figured it out on my own.
|
|
KynikossDragonn for being a good pet. You're still cute even if you deny it.
|
|
Lucy for having created the Tewi font, which I still use to this day. Wherever
|
|
you are, I hope you're doing well. We miss you.
|
|
All my wonderful patrons, of course, for supporting me economically so I can
|
|
basically keep working on what I love. It's a bit embarrassing to admit that I
|
|
wouldn't be able to afford HRT without your help, by the way.
|
