Requires latest (G)Zdoom svn. Not Skulltag compatible.

Well I like the sprites. They are pretty good.

The projectiles could have more of a variety though. The secondary fire could have other projectiles or something that looks better. And the projectiles from the primary and secondary fire are the same size. If not then it is hardly noticeable. I'd say have the secondary fire projectiles be something more like the Ionspray's projectiles. But a little bigger of course.

When the secondary fire is fired the sprites on the weapon is just a slowed down version of the primary. Have it loop a few times when each of the smaller projectiles are fired so it looks like it is firing again and again and again. Also the ammo should go down by one, or two, for each projectile so it looks better, rather than it just suddenly drop by twenty.

The sounds... I am on the edge on that. They seem to be ok but there might be better sounds you could use. For now leave it I guess.

The splash damage is pretty good. I like it actually. ...matter of fact I just thought of yet another story of it... but anyways. Splash damage is good.

The name of the gun is ok but if it is a BFG type clone/upgrade/version, it should say something like BFG Cannon, or BFG 4920, or something like that.

Ammo use. Why is does the primary fire only use 6 ammo when the secondary uses 20? At least have the primary use 10.

Very nice weapon too ^^

When used properly, the secondary fire does significantly more damage than the primary fire.

I think I'll change the secondary attack's projectile to a modified PlasmaBall1.

The BFGBall sprites are altogether not something I like. I'm going to change them.

It is not meant to be a BFG; it's meant to be a combination of the rocket launcher and plasma gun.

Improved sounds would be nice, but I can't think of what else to use. Specific suggestions?

In that case have the secondary fire have a little recovery time before you can shoot it again. Not to long though. Oh and maybe it should push the player back a little when it fires since it is firing a lot more projectiles at once.



Could work.



Same here.



Oh ok. So then I guess leave the name lol



BFG sounds from Doom 64? Might sounds a little too powerful for the current weapon but it might work. Give it a try I guess. Anything else...I can't really think of anything myself. I could look around and listen to some and see what might fit.

Update: added a trail to both projectiles and tweaked other factors.

Anybody know where I can get the Doom 64 sound effects?

Looks better. Still needs new projectiles though for the secondary fire ^.^ I like the trail effect too.

Sadly I don't know where to get Doom 64 sounds but masterofmorag should know since he used some in his Cluster Launcher.

Hm... I wonder if I can use the sounds in the Doom 64 TC for Doomsday...

BTW, the sprites on the secondary projectiles are wrong altogether (glitch). Oh the woes of copy/pasting your own code...

Might as well give it a try.



lol this is why we test test test test test and then test some more, fix, test test test test test, fix again, and repeat. XD

Pretty much what I do.

... Which is why I basically never release anything.

Update: secondary attack has been dramatically changed; see first post.
