Probably one of the best official expansion packs ever made for an FPS.

>>3965568
Oh yeah, and they got a guy who managed to do a very faithful impersonation of Duke Nukem.

That's not John St. Jon doing the lines for Duke Caribbean, but a guy who does an excellent job imitating him.

Again, 10/10 effort in this expansion.

It's really frustrating that the man who owns that IP now is Randy Bitchford, but Gearbox is also not doing very hot right now (AHAHAHAHAHAA!!!), so if we're lucky they might go under and have to sell off IPs and shit to cover bankruptcy.

MetaDoom should add a level or boss to Reelism when run together.

>>3965584
What if Devolver got a hold of it?

>>3965596
That would actually make my fucking day.

They at least seem to care about this kind of game. Also it would mean basically a re-release of Megaton (hopefully with some fixes).

>>3965596
Are they still kind of universally liked?

>>3965617
have they published any bad games?

>>3965596
They were behind the ROTT remake, right?

>>3965625
No.

>>3965620
Not that I can think of.

Though Megaton was pretty buggy on release and some people were pissed about that (understandably). Of course, looking at World Edition, the last patch of Megaton must look pretty good.

Shame it's off market now, but I think it was 10 pretty well spent dollars.

>>3965625
I don't think they were.

>>3965620
I mean their attitude towards developers, business practices and such.

>>3965637
I don't think they've ever fucked anyone in the ass like Gearbox has, no.

I miss expansion packs. DLC doesn't feel the same. They try too hard to extend the story instead of just making more fun.

>>3965625
That was interceptor-apogee; and they've apparently done nothing since

>>3965760
Didn't they have a Duke3D remake planned prior to the RoTT reboot that was shitcanned because Gearbox mistook it for a fan project?

>>3965739
I think general knoxx was probably one of the last good expansions that gaybox did

>>3965794
>Gearbox mistook it for a fan project?
Gearbox trashed it because it was looking more impressive than the iteration of Forever they were shitting out. They had given the developers the go ahead before that, iirc, probably because they didn't think it would amount to anything special.

>>3965760
They've made Bombshell and Rad Rodgers since then, both of which were awful.

>>3965739
DLC can range anywhere between something small and absolutely worthless, to something that's literally an expansion. You just have to look at the DLC and judge if it's worth your time or not.

Fallout New Vegas had some alright DLC/Expansions.

>>3965850
Bombshell looks pretty shit.
Rad Rodgers looked okay, but I didn't play it/even know it was out?

Yes, +NOINTERACTION allows actors to pass through the vertical borders of the map but nullifies all movement (and all interaction with other actors).

>>3965981
it's probably made with the same in-engine player model as the actual 3d game. which is equally as lazy.

don't expect quality hand drawn sprites in a 'retro shooter' in this day and age

>>3965995

You know, I'm fine with that. There's lots of retro shooters with CGI guns.

Cybermage, Cyclones I believe, Tekwar, Disruptor, Terminator Future Shock and so on.

>>3965975
Interceptor went bust, cut their losses and reformed as Slipgate Studios. ROTT got buried again, Rad Rodgers got sold off to THQ Nordic and Slipgate is trying to renegotiate with 3D Realms to finish their Bombshell patches.

Don't hold your breath on the Build game ever being finished.

>>3965995
>>3965981
you're weird

>>3966000
Trips of truth.
CGI guns are fine. Hell, the original retro FPSes, Doom and Duke, made extremely heavy use of prop and models.

Expecting everything to be hand drawn is lol at best and willful ignorance at worst.

>>3966010
I didn't say I wanted everything hand drawn, tard. I'm commenting on how they went the easy route by haphazardly working a spriteset from a model without taking things like lighting into account. the plasma gun looks good because it had proper care put into it, this >>3965975 is literally a 3d model put through a converter to look like a sprite, it's way too dark, and the contrast on the glove looks like shit.

>>3966017

>>3966003
Voidpoint (TerminX and Hendricks) are basically doing the Bombshell prequel themselves with their own team, with Interceptor/3DR/Slipgate/etc. providing some general oversight and chipping in some 3D renders and other materials where requested.

Supposedly it's grown from being a tiny little pre-order novelty since it was greenlit and will be a larger project.

In fact no, OpenAL by default have a Hard Limiter enabled to prevent Loudness War and in comparison with FMod if you keep the Volume bars maxed, OAL is 2dB lower than FMod, also OAL uses the real dB input from the sounds instead of do what FMod did which was boost the sounds by that 2dB, including music, so if you find a wad with ogg music that have its waves reaching the 0dBFS, it will be fine yet unlike FMod that would start to clip it in +2dB.

It's not like post-Romero id respects Quake 1 enough to make a new game or IP that values its level design principles. You probably give a shit about the term more than they do.

Posted in last thread without realizing it was in sage, but what's a good tutorial for creating textures for Doom and Quake? I read somewhere in Quake that you're limited to the 256 pre-defined colors in the game, and the pallet is mostly shades of brown with a little blue thrown in here and there, but is there any way to get around that? Do any future ports remove the color limit? It's hard to make real detailed vegetation without a lot of greens.

>>3966398

Darkplaces and FTEQW, and likely other sourceports that allow for DDS or TGA textures

I tried adding a little detail on the ceiling struts, I think it looks a little better, but I need to lower the light source so it's not pitch black on the center of the struts.

>>3966431
Thanks anon, I have Quakespasm on my laptop since it runs better and Darkplaces on my home computer, I'll have to see what it takes to use those instead.

>>3966438
I'm sure Quakespasm supports it too. Just look at Arcane Dimensions and all the colors its maps have, and that was primarily designed for QS.

>the talk about zpack and custom monsters at the end of the latest intermission podcast
Zpack's custom monster use sucked because they did it badly and used too much shitty ones or barely used any at all. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to use the guys who leave fragment grenades behind when they die, that just grinds the gameplay to a halt every time you run into those fucking things. Who thought it would be a good idea to put a single SSG zombie in the entire wad, and put him in a closet facing the door so he instantly kills you when you enter. Also one of the first custom monsters you run in the mod is some kind of a baron variant that is COMPLETELY INVISIBLE and has approximately ten billion health, and you fight him in a small square arena surrounded by a death pit. The whole wad is a complete shitshow full of terrible gimmics, terrible maps that overstay their welcome and terrible monster placement.

Also Valiant and AA did not use custom monsters well, same for Scythe 2. The customs in AA and Scythe 2 are retarded shit, and Valiant just replaced the entire cast with monsters that are made to piss the player off. It's bizarre how people always talk about the custom monsters having numbers that are way off and complain about baron variants, but praise acclaimed wads where the custom monsters are way fucking off with plasma marines that kill you in a split second, flying boxes made out of explosions and trillions of revenant missiles that kill you in a split second, and baron variants that kill you in a split second with revenant missiles and tank 100000 damage.

>>3966438
More vertex editing, like the ceiling struts, I changed the wall struts to a triangular prism shape instead of a rectangular one. Left side is the square shape, right is the triangle one.

reduced the number of lights in the hallway, which has created a more moody lighting, but makes the side architecture harder to see. Going to have to keep playing with how much light is right so that it receives some illumination but not too much. I don't really want to use a tiny amount of global lighting, but I might need to.

How's MetaDoom, Kinsie?

>>3966470
Had the bright (hurr) idea to just better space out the lights. I might add a slight indent downwards next so they're not completely flush with the rest of the ceiling now. Using 5 lights per row was a little too much, this has created a slightly more uneven lighting with a little more spot detail on the floor where the lights face attenuation.

>>3966484
Last thing before I get back to working our email server, but I created a seperate brush for the lights and dropped them down 2 units on the grid. In addition, I've dropped their light entities from right on top of the brush to slightly below the ceiling strut, which hasn't modified how it shines on the ground very much but lets it cast light on the struts themselves which means no more black edges on downward facing edges.

Tomorrow or this afternoon, I'm going to try and draw a scene outside of the structure (Which I'll probably extend to about half again or twice its current length) to contrast the cold interior with a warm, organic exterior.

Reminds me, wasn't there a PNG-fixed Smooth Doom version some made independently, because of palette problems with mapsets like BTSX and Ancient Aliens?

>>3966574
Legacy of Suffering used lots of Dynamic Lights, though it aged poorly and pretty much everybody doesn't like it anymore.

I've had fun with every single id title I've played because they all allow the input of going fast for the most part. there are very few instances that legitimately require you to take it slower than usual, but never take away the sense of empowerment and agility from the player. even doom 3 can go a bit faster than the intended way if you know where to go and what to do, as is per usual.

I had some good fun with rage, TNO and TOB are amazing, nudoom may be considered a masterpiece from my part. I just love em all.

All that's left is beating Map32, and I'll be done with Plutonia. I ended up having way more fun with it than I thought; my favorite classic episode is Thy Flesh Consumed, and Plutonia feels like if TFC was expanded into a full game. It got a little stale by the end once it moved away from tough tight fights into more expansive Doom 2 esque levels, but it was a really good ride. I think it might be my favorite IWAD.

If Kinsie's here, a quick critique I have about MetaDoom:
Why does the Axe take priority over the Chainsaw when switching weapons? It is very situational, and the only time I found a good use for it is silently taking out enemies, which usually means I have all the time in the world to switch over to it.

What's /doom/s take on doom the way id did? Just finished all of it, and I don't really know what to think.

I think I liked it? after Ancient aliens, valiant, going down , scythe etc. It does seem pretty underwhelming. The first episode all looks the same to me.

>>3967974
>i still dont "get" slaughtermaps
go 2 it, is an ok introduction. Go 2 it is a pretty early slaughtermap and it hadn't been anywhere close to perfected. That being said go 2 it doesn't play like modern slaughter maps.

Go 2 it there's alot of hiding behind corners with a foothold slowly moving forward. Modern slaughter maps you have to keep moving, while constantly carving a way with plasma gun

seriously though
-tesla rockets work better than bfg
-lightning gun's ability to permastun even a cyberdemon is plain retarded, same with grenade launcher alt-fire
-soulcube ammo/health drops simply delete ammo management from the game
-minigun turret mode instagibs everything given enough ammo
-railgun 1/2/3-shots most enemies in the game for measly 10 cell ammo per shot
-plasmarifle altfire wipes screens
-and many weapons are rendered completely useless through this "powercreep"

i get it that this is supposed to be a progression based mod, where you find better and better weapons that help you deal with stronger monsters, but in its current state the challenge the new monsters provide isnt enough for the powerhouse that the player acquires throughout a game.

Alternatively i might be wrong and this is just a "have fun blasting monsters away" type of mod in which case i may have sounded like an autistic "muh vanilla balance" fagget

>>3968523
Gauss Cannon seemed to do equivalent damage to a rocket launcher, and for more ammo relative to the max ammo.
Lightning Gun is definitely so good. It's primary is so ammo efficient. Get tired of a map? Run around with it for a while and just carve through the enemies.
Surprised you didn't mention Syphon Grenades also stun. Heal + Stun Locking, don't even need to pull your Lightning Gun out.
I didn't use the Plasma Rifle honestly, I got the Lightning Gun first and it was so good I couldn't see the Plasma Rifle holding up.
It's pretty fun, will play with it again if I'm in a slump between mod updates, or if it gets a new update.

>>3968534
well yea the syphon grenades can stun too, but so do the tesla rockets by locking the enemy into constant pain state, especially if you throw 5 or 10 of them at once

>>3968540
But those slowly move away, don't they? I didn't try them for stunning.
However, I did annihilate a Mancubus crowd just by throwing like, half of my held Tesla rockets at it, so they're especially powerful if you throw them like that.
If the mod dev isn't too keen on that, he should look into delays between throwing grenades. Doesn't need to be long like D4D or D4T's, since you have infinite of those.
Either way, I found this fun, and will continue to do so whether he decides to keep to the current mayhem, or decide to weaken these weapons.
Also, Chainsaw should pull out before the Axe, please.

Random idea for Highway 2 Hell:
Camp Romero:
Before entering the camp of course, within the woods, you quickly meet Romero's impaled head working at his gas station/convenience store, put there for campers.

Naturally; this is a CAMPING TRIP themed breather-level! Get your pet cacodemon and hang out with your hell-buddies. Tour around and visit the lake, go on the trails, play in the field, or descend into the caves and go to oremoR pmaC; the hellish, inverted version of the land above; though do be careful, the hellish reflection of Camp Romero is UPSIDE-DOWN in addition to being in hell.

How does one get into doomscript? Is it map based? Wad based? Both? I assume its more like ACS than decorate?

>>3969096
Since there's very little work involved converting DECORATE to ZScript (flags and properties need to be enclosed in Defaults{stuff;}, need a semicolon after each frame definition) you can start experimenting with a little zscript stuff here and there until you get the gist of it. Look through GZDoom.pk3's zscript definitions for all actors if you want some good examples.

>>3968306
>>3968312

> this absurd bullshit again

>>3968312
would look better without a status bar

>>3969134
ZScript is wad/pk3 based and not map-based. For actor control, which for most people will be the primary use, it's like an enormously expanded DECORATE. Almost no stupid workarounds and inconveniences or ACS calls, you get almost raw control of how the engine handles things internally (if you wish).

It can also do interfaces like menus and status bars, as well as "event handlers" which I'm not programming-literate enough to explain.

For simple level control like platforms, multi-function buttons and whatnot you're still better off with ACS but this will probably change at some point.

You get into it by reading the wiki pages, lurking the two big zscript threads on ZDF and checking out the definitions in gzdoom.pk3.

It's still an integer scale. 1/4 of standard size, I think it works well. Doesn't jive with the native textures though.

I think the biggest flaw though is it doesn't use the Quake pallet, but those things can be rectified later.

I appreciate the infodump, anon. This sounds very promising!

what could cause a "not responding" hang upon loading a savefile?

>>3966456
Are the AA stealth troopers and missile skulls really THAT horrible, though? The first ones, while packing heavy firepower, are perfectly possible to dodge and have very low hit points. I'd say a room full of them is a tough but perfectly fair challenge, and certainly more than one with chaingunners. The spinning skulls, meanwhile, are very slow, have low hit points, and their elevation tends to cause missile misses more frequently than with Revenants. And since they explode, clearing clusters of them becomes fairly easy.

They both force you to be on your toes, yes, but they are nowhere near unfair on the level of regular Realm 666 shit. You're blowing it out of proportion.

Aliens The Ultimate Doom

I made a bunch of modifications for it because it wasn't difficult enough and wasn't completely to my liking. I already posted it on cripple/v/ maybe once or twice but since then I changed a lot of stuff, mainly sounds. I wanted to make the mod more horror-like, less like vanilla doom in terms of gameplay, the xenos more satisfying to kill and even a single one an actual threat, and I figured maybe some other anons would like the changes I made or wanted to make it themselves but didn't want to waste the time doing it all.

Apparently it's not possible to add sounds (I tried adding them to SNDINFO but to no effect), just replace sounds that are already in the mod, which is why I was lucky this particular mod had a LOT of unused sounds just waiting to be replaced and used for something else.

Also for some reason all the shotguns can be realoaded when full which will waste a single point of ammo. I don't know how to correct this yet.

Another thing is that I couldn't edit the flamer class so if you play with the flamer guy you'll be twice as fast as you should be, and for god's sake don't use the droid class if you're gonna play co-op or your mates will waste all their ammo shooting at you thinking you're an enemy. I guess this makes the commando and smartgunner the only classes that actually work for co-op, if you ignore the fact that player sprites are all kinds of fucked up because the author didn't give them much thought (your characters slide along the floor instead of walking and before my changes they also disappeared when shooting.)

For the next version I want to unfuck the player sprites, the shotguns, maybe change some weapon sprites, change the main menu appearance and the HUD.

"All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I *love* the Corps!"

Changelog:
>changed the menu click sound
>got rid of the annoying motion tracker blip that you couldn't turn off (replaced with nullsound)
>menu music is now either the classic "MOTHER" startup sound or the main title from ALIEN
>music that plays between levels also got changed to ALIENS tracks
>replaced the music that played during levels (windy sound) with a nullsound. Will probably try to find a more fitting ambience in the future
>aliens have actual acid blood now (it's not just for show anymore). Kill them before they get too close or you may get splashed.
>aliens kill you in 1-2 hits without armor, 2-3 with armor, 3-4 with apesuit. Praetorian kills you in 1 without armor, 2 with armor, 2-3 with apesuit.
>0.5 player speed. No more walking at 40000km/h and running circles around the xenos. This used to make them such a joke. It's still possible (albeit a bit more difficult) to run around one of them, dodging it's attacks, but doing it with more than one is not recommended
>health pickups are rarer and heal much less. It didn't make a difference if a xeno just ate through half your HP when you could just pick two or three health items and be at full health again (and they were EVERYWHERE). Now injuries mean something. DON'T GET HIT.
>guns shoot hitscan because projectile was too slow and kept getting stuck in everything (windows, walls, raised floors, corners, clutter, EVERYTHING). I thought it made more sense for a game like Doom with short distance engagements (I also didn't like how the tracers looked and didn't think they fit). Turrets still shoot tracers.

>>3969205
>Apparently it's not possible to add sounds (I tried adding them to SNDINFO but to no effect

If you put a file named "bloop.wav" in the Sounds folder of a pk3 (and I assume between appropriate markers in a wad) you can just type
>bloop bloop
in sndinfo.pk3.

>to counter the above, droids (and marines) were given a bad case of "stormtrooper accuracy" so they won't kill you instantly from 4km away. This gives you room to maneuver and shoot back. The longer the distance the worse their aim (and yours), so you can take a risk and sprint from cover to cover for example, retreat to a safer place, or bait them into following you (baiting them is the most efficient way of killing them).

HINT:
The "Tactical Pulse Rifle" that the combat droid class starts with is a bit more accurate over longer distances (zoomed fire doesn't work as it should, though, don't try to use it) but it comes without a grenade launcher

>all guns got their ammo values reverted back to normal amounts. Rifle went from 60 to 95 per magazine, smartgun from 100 to 150, flamethrower from 50 to 100. Ammo is rarer to find and xenos have just a little bit of additional health. They're also just a little bit faster now, meaning all of them, not just the runner, are faster than you, but only a tiny bit
>new sounds for every weapon, including shooting, reloading, dryfiring and grenade firing for the rifle (minus the VP70 pistol). I used the most true to the original pulse rifle and smartgun sounds I could find
>weapons are more powerful (compared to original mod, not my earlier changes).
>it only takes a burst of about 6-10 bullets to kill normal xenos (drones, warriors, runners), but they like jumping around to avoid fire so you'll end up using more
>new sounds for turret (firing and active sounds)
>a lot of new and replaced sounds for xenos, predators, facehuggers, eggs, praetorians and queens,one or two for marines and droids are not so noisy anymore
>xeno steps are much quieter and they don't hiss as often

>>3969213
yep that's what I tried but the mod didn't recognize it for some reason, so I had to make do with what I had

>new sounds for some ammo pickups, throwing flares
>grenade direct hit damage increased, splash damage decreased. You need to actually hit your grenades now and you can't kill a whole group of xenos with a single one. Will probably fiddle around with this in the future
>pump-action shotgun fires 10 pellets instead of 7. You couldn't kill a drone with a single shot from point blank before. Now you can.
>praetorians have a little bit more health, are a little faster than runners (owing to their sheer size) and are much more resistant to stagger/pain.
"It just keeps coming!"
- Marine, shortly before his death.

>marines are no longer immune to acid blood
>marines with guns can't shoot you in the back and neither can you shoot them (grenades and flamethrowers can kill them, though), but flamers can still kill you accidentaly (this was unintended but I guess it makes sense)

>>3969223
Shit, that may have been it. Why didn't I try this? (And why didn't I notice that all of the sounds were 8 characters or less?) Maybe I have brain damage.

>apesuit makes you completely immune to acid, but getting hit by acid depletes its durability very fast
>predators are no longer the absurd bullet sponges they were in the original mod, but every one of their attacks is much more lethal
>standing in the way of a disk will kill you instantly but dodging it, even if not completely is usually enough to make it just graze you instead
>a single plasma bolt to your center mass will kill you unless you're wearing an apesuit (it will still fuck you up good with an apesuit, though)
>plasma bolt is much faster now. To dodge it you must be at least some distance away from the predator or have some kind of cover to hide behind. Careful with the darts too, though these are usually the easiest to dodge since he takes a while to fire them.

HINT:
Flamethrowers are not really better than other weapons in most situations, but they are incredibly powerful against both very dangerous enemies like predators and praetorians (they stunlock them), and large groups of enemies in confined spaces.

That's all if I'm not forgetting anything. Tell me what's good, what you think could be better etc.
Maybe we can play this co-op one of these days.

>>3969169

Neat shit. I cant offer a lot of feedback because I'm not good at it, but this is cool
Thanks for it

Any good maps that you guys would recommend for Quake? I just finished The Altar of Storms, it was pretty interesting despite its short length. Complete with a bossfight at the end.

Someone recommended the Rubicon Rumble pack, but what else is great out there? Any maps similar to One Thousand Cuts, where you choose your own way throughout the level rather than follow a set path?

>>3969273

A/D sucks

its just single maps that all go back to the same entryway without letting you keep your weapons

also the sky textures are needlessly high resolution, this isnt a high res game and having HR skies is a stylistic mismatch

>>3969294
High res skyboxes don't really bug me all that much thankfully, unlike mismatched high res textures next to low res ones.

Got to admit, I forgot how fucking hard the Aliens mod was and you've only made it harder, anon.

>>3969307
but is it a good kind of hard? it plays well on the maps I usually use but the random spawning can fuck you right in the ass. That only makes it more fun for me. There are some situations that you're not supposed to survive, I guess.

>>3969296
I do, they're not something I see much, and spending that much system-hogging resources on them means it grinds everything else down.

>>3969310
Well i've noticed that I can have a few straggler enemies here and there, but when the game decides to fuck me up the ass, suddenly ten aliens all rush out of a cooped up room. It's kind of a recurring thing, and it gets obnoxious since it basically assures your death no matter how much ammo or weaponry you have depending on how close that opening was to you.

>>3969318
turn around and run? let them chase and gun them down as they spread out? if anything a situation like that teaches a lesson to not stand your ground

>>3969318
yeah there are some maps that are simply not playable with this mod and that goes for the original, non modified one too.
over time I learned to be really cautious and suspect every nook and cranny and that helped me greatly with those "monster closets" that spawn a buttload of xenos

>>3969339
yeah you should always be walking/running backwards when facing more than one, since they can lunge at you and if they don't get you, the blood will. this cannot be played like regular Doom. running for (relative) safety is a very valid tactic.

>>3969318
>>3969356
also:
>>3969231
>Flamethrowers are not really better than other weapons in most situations, but they are incredibly powerful against both very dangerous enemies like predators and praetorians (they stunlock them), and large groups of enemies in confined spaces

>>3969356
Yeah, if a map has a large number of enemies and/or a preference for monster closets, and is primarily small halls and close-quarters fights, you're boned if you can't get a flamethrower or sufficient ammo beforehand. Retreating can only do so much and one good swarm can overwhelm you in things like Epic2.

Okay bUT HOW THE FUCK DO I BEAT THE PREDATOR

It was a cool OH SHIT moment when a squad of xenomorphs suddenly got butchered by three flying dots, but, uh, now I'm stuck.

>>3969356
I never play like regular doom. For example in Plutonia2 map06 I run all over the damn level bottlenecking enemies and getting them to infight.

Grab the blue key, the revenants are unleashed, ill drag them all the way back to the Berserk where the crates are.

I dont exactly care for getting 100% on kills or other stuff (except secrets, if I know where they all are). Game doesn't penalize you for that in any way but I do try to keep it above about 85%.

So yeah, ill just give enemies the runaruond and get them stuck somewhere sometimes if they didnt infight to death, and I just leave them behind.

>>3969372
Does zdoom have predictive aiming behavior now?

Like dodge sideways and the enemy leads the target to try to hit you over there?

>>3969369
sometimes you also get unlucky with the ammo spawn and there aren't enough/any marine friends to add to your firepower (or turrets).
I completed vanilla Doom I (minus the bonus chapter), DtwIDd and suspended in dusk with this so it's definitely doable. It's probably a bit easier in co-op, but then ammo becomes more of a problem.

>>3969372
flamethrower or auto shotgun. either that or throw a grenade on his ass (if you can get him to stay still for a bit) and then dump some ammo on him. he doesn't actually have that much health (he can't kill a praetorian by himself for example unless he softens it up before getting close)

>>3969380
you're probably talking about the plasma bolt. you need to dodge it just before he fires it (or you can just take cover behind something if there is any).

>>3969394
I was asking if this kind of behavior is in the engine yet, because I want to use it if so.

no im not playing that freakin aliens mod

This electric explosion effect turned out pretty well for a first try.

>>3969407
I want to take the Cyber and randomly have one of his rockets lead you as you're dodging. Having him lob rockets sideways like a mancubus just doesnt do the trick, it needs to be based on the direction you're going.
