Struggle

The wad is aiming for a RC1 on June 24th btw

Somebody carefully hint to him that these silly weapon sprites should be put in a separate optional wad...

I was going to volunteer myself to make a weapons patch wad that puts the IWAD sprites over top of the new ones but I don't think that's a legal thing to do. The only real way to do it is to modify Stuggle's wad file after its released.

What's the protocol exactly? Is that ethically/morally off-limits to modify someone's wad to your own liking? If it's a sprite replacement only, it should still function normally for demo recording/playback.

Why not, it was good enough for Skillsaw to put out Valiant lite. What I said in the few words you left off from my quote was pretty much what you said at the end of your post, “no boy,” but I said it first

I guess that was me showing my preferences, thank you for an actual response instead of that dismissive no. Mappers are gonna do what they gonna do, and people like myself and memfis are going to complain about weapon sprite changes. antares has changed the behaviours to a thing of their own that deleting the sprite patches would make it weird while playing. It is what it is, but it personally won’t stop me giving something new a try. I played the original episode when it was fresh and from what I remember the double pistols were fun to use, it’s just a shame he has to use those terrible looking ROTT sprites. Even then regular Doom pistol doubled up would look better to me. I remember the crucifix weapon looking pretty bad arse though. That episode was a lot of fun at the time, except the final map that fucken sucked hard and I gave up on it. The visual style interests me so I will check out what else Struggle has to offer when I get the chance.
