Hello I am back with suggestions yet again! so remember that doomish hud from the earlier stages of the game?? I thought why not add different hud styles/huds kinda like gzdoom, lzdoom and zandronum and other ports they all have 3 huds first is the normal hud which is your regular doom hud then we got the fullscreen hud which is what we kinda got as of right now being able to see health armor and your ammo for your current weapon and finally there is the alternative hud which is like a better fullscreen hud with more features like being able to see secrets how many kills you got weapons on the side and etc. if you want to know what I mean I suggest looking around doom ports so you know what I mean mainly gzdoom or zandronum (you could bring back that doomish hud from earlier and polish it maybe? or try to improve it in general) also I recently finished this game I absolutely love it and would love to replay it with more features
it's not as easy to add one (tbh doom source ports kind of became bloatware lately 🤔 but I digress)
but I guess the patches and features are not about to end anyway (so it's a strong maybe)
I added a few new mini-features you can check (still under testing: you can find them in the Patches.zip)
also somes questions (related to doom and might have some lab2 relevance): have you ever made any doom levels? and have you tried out the zortch editor yet? is any of them feel easier? (I was toying with the idea of making lab2 with zortches engine instead but it feels like 'cheating': originally it was going to be a straight doom clone but i'm not so sure about that anymore - as you are one of the biggest fans of the original I would like your feedback on this)
I made some test levels using SLADE which is a doom map editor I have experience with some doom modding in the past when I was 13 lol using the zortch editor is a little complex I couldn't make any levels using it also how do source ports become bloatware all of a sudden? I don't get it lol at least zandronum is fine along with gzdoom (why are the updates so silent? or is it just me?)
hmm I guess I better go with the original idea then 🤔 (using a doomish map format)
maybe it's just me - it feels that there are so many useless features tacked on (well at least I'm not the only one who has a problem saying no to suggestions 🤔)
I don't announce them until I update the large zip packages (so the idea is that patches only has the fixes still under testing and it's a smaller download for convenience)
