XRpg - Simple Hexen RPG mod [v2.2 Released] New GUI inventory system with full mouse support

[peewee_RotA]

The fighter learns a random skill at every 10th level. They are all passive. Two of them happen as you hit monsters with melee attacks, and one of them happens at random when the figher gets hit.

Next level is going a little slower, but I'm still balancing time to work on it regularly. So I expect to be done soon.

[peewee_RotA]

Finished that previous map. Had to add to do some custom stuff for a trap. One of the things that slows this down is that all of the hub3's levels have some secrets based on some clues you find along the way, and putting together those portions takes some work.

So, viewtopic.php?f=43&t=76080#p1226142 is a lot of fun, and I tried playing it with your mod. Apparently the melee weapons you've added don't have the MELEEWEAPON flag set (which apparently doesn't normally matter much) and so the mod gives them ranged weapon powers instead of melee ones. I know it's an intra-mod issue, but it also seems like good future-proofing to flag them right, and *hopefully* should be a relatively small fix to make (assuming these things are handled in any sane way, which, of course, is not a dependable assumption.)

Thanks for catching that. I'll update them. I also missed the AXEBLOOD flag for the bladed weapons. I'll try to get an update out soon.

EDIT: This will make a difference in the new map pack because some new monsters have avoid melee.

Happy new year. Just giving a quick update. Most of the hub 3 maps are functionally complete but need details added. Finishing things up on the remaining maps and then doing some final passes.

[peewee_RotA]

Quick update. I lost my original design paper on the last map for hub 3. Recreating with a different approach. (mazes are boring anyway). But it is a bit of a delay.

Never noticed melee weapons being flagged as ranged but thinking about it it would explain some issues. btw hope things go well despite the sudden redesign needed xD

Thanks! Had to go on the back burner for a moment. About to pick it back up.

...and I finally found the original notes!

Lesson learned: Tamper down grandiose plans to have super complex themes that intertwine with poems and puzzles and crap.

Love the monsters and xp system in this mod. But I also prefer to play with the Tempered Arms mod. Is there any way to keep the weapons from Tempered Arms and still use the rest of this mod? Thanks

Thanks. Everything in the mod is pretty tightly coupled. So I don't think it would work 100%. It may be possible to lift and apply just the leveling and spell systems... but some still won't work without more effort. Like berserk and smite which requires changes to the actual weapons. It's probably worth making a generic version of the leveling system that works with any zdoom game... but you'd lose the specific abilities.

As a general update, I'm working on version 1.5 incorporating pretty much all of the feedback that has not been implemented yet. It mostly amounts to balance. But I may add in some new things in the world to interact with.

[peewee_RotA]

After a bunch of bug fixes here and there, I figured out a good way to implement magic item pickups.

The plan is to redo the dragon bracers to be permanent, and to give players additional options. Beefing damage at later levels was some of the feedback I haven't quite implemented yet, so this will be a way to handle that.

Still working on some ideas, but I plan on having several options for players to choose from.

[peewee_RotA]

Probably the 2 most complex fixes are some things that have been bugging me for a while. The wizard spell out of ammo animation and cleric smite lightning spawn failing. They were super complex fixes that took a lot of testing, but they are finally resolved.
