Now I'm interested. It'd be nice to play E1 & E2 with some sort of challenge again.

@evouga - Personally, I play the add-on pack as well as the no infighting mode because, well, I'm nuts like that.

I was crazy enough to beat Whispers of Satan with the add-on pack, no infighting, AND hardcore mode (no saving in the middle of levels) and I did beat it eventually... but the last few levels were just... horrible.

@Bilbohicks Will that new update be labeled version 3? I would definitely look forward to seeing the new monsters... along with the fixed Chesire Caco.

Yes, I recommend playing without the add-on pack (makes the game too much of a luckfest IMO), but keep in mind gameplay will differ somewhat from classic DooM:

1. Like most modern source ports, you can look up and down (an ability I shamelessly abuse to snipe hitscanners in towers and alcoves).

2. Monster infighting is severely penalized score-wise (you'll get about 9% of the points you would have received if you'd killed the enemy yourself) so try to do as much damage on enemies yourself.

3. I always play in UV MAX style out of principle, even though that's not the best strategy for maximizing score -- the bonuses for 100% kills, etc are quite negligible on larger levels.

I forgot to mention that with the add-on pack, it's possible to get all of the weapons far earlier in megawads if enemies that drop those weapons are spawned in any given level.

Wow, how many forms does the Spider Mastermind have, exactly? Like, 80?

On the miracle chance you have a Spread, Ammo Regen, Invulnerability, a BFG and at least 400 cells, you're unleashing devastation God would envy.

Hey, is there any way to bind the sentry gun and Maulotaur to different keys? N and M are rather awkward to hit in the middle of a firefight.

As far as bindings, you should be able to re-bind them. I will double check this.

For the add-on pack in the next patch, I will be removing some of the more irritating and less-doomish monsters. The bats for instance. Any other suggestions? The creatures will be left in the pack, for optional use with the sdcustom.ini. The thing is some monsters like the flying patrol bots I like, but they are arguably un-doomish, so this will always be subjective, but those bats irritate me!

I'm sure you can manually bind them using the console. I just didn't know what I was supposed to type: "bind [key] [?]"

I don't see the sentries or Maulotaurs listed on the in-game button configuration screen, though.




I don't like the Auger Rifle Zombies very much, just because it's annoying how they can shoot you from other rooms when they technically shouldn't even be able to see you yet, but that's a minor complaint. A lot of the Hexen-like enemies don't seem very appropriate either, like the Death Knights and Disciples (and all the other "guys in robes" variants) and such, but they're not too detached from DOOM's satanic themes. I think Aldhivas is just a ridiculous design, though. It looks like a walking palette error that inexplicably makes Arch-Vile noises. I hate it, and the Evil DoomGuy is a much better take on the same idea anyway.

Also, if you're getting rid of the bats, does that mean the bees are going, too?

It sounds like you might have already figured it out, but if not, it should be bind [key] "use artisentryservant2" for the sentry, and bind [key] "use artidarkservant2" for the maulotaur, including the quotes.
