- A DeHacked Patch
- ─ ────────────────────── ─
- BARREL BLASTER !BETA! v0.9
-
- [Requirements]
-
- DeHacked v1.3
- DOOM v1.2 Registered*
-
- [Summary]
-
- The Barrel Blaster is a BETA patch for id's DOOM (registered). It
- replaces the BFG with a new weapon -- one which lobs barrels a short distance
- (where they remain until destroyed). I have filled a room with up to 25
- barrels--great ambush possibilities!
- Does it work in deathmatch? I have no idea -- but I hope so! If anyone
- tries it out, please email me and let me know! This weapon is great if you have
- no other ammunition--the release patch of this weapon will have NO CLIP, so you
- can always fall back on the barrel blaster if you're out of ammo and being
- chased. I chose the slow frame rate of the BFG for realism -- I don't think
- this patch would have the same effect if you could spit out barrels as fast
- as the chaingun.
-
- [Technical Aspects]
-
- For all you DeHackers out there -- this is not a simple hack! I went
- through hours of trial and error to get it to work right. If you want to know
- how I did a specific thing, feel free to email. If anyone makes any changes
- (improvements) on this patch, please let me know, (that's all I ask.) I'm
- currently working on a hand grenade--I've finished it, except I haven't
- figured out how to make it travel farther than 5 feet or so.
-
- [Bugs]
-
- I've had DOOM lock up on me several times using this patch. It hasn't
- locked up in awhile, so maybe this bug went away. Also, if you shoot this
- weapon (like an idiot) close to a wall, the barrel will go through it! I
- assume that if you shoot the Barrel Blaster point-blank at an enemy character,
- it'll go through him too. If you find any other bugs, please let me know.
-
- [Disclaimer]
-
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- This patch is BETA! Use it at your own risk. I'm not responsible for
- anything.
