Description : what happens when two-so-different personas get
involved together in the same UAC mission, and are supposed
to collaborate?...

August 31, 2015: release #7.
- fixed a few minor inconsistencies in the main modification.
- completely overhauled the 'Power Soldier' addon through the following integrations:
- several additional death animations for monsters, mutuated from 'Random Deaths
and Decorations' by Mr. Chris;
- 'Empowerments', a programmable alternate fire system loosely based on the ACS
body of work contained in PillowBlaster's first version of 'Guncaster';
- enhancements to the base system actors, including an array of ten (!) different
explosive barrel types - each one with peculiar properties - inspired/drawn by
a multitude of sources.
March 01, 2016: release #7+.
- Power Soldier: augmented fire death animations with smoke effects from 'Project Brutality'.
- Power Soldier: augmented ice death animations with frames from CeeJay's 'Duke It Out In DOOM',
and chilled vapor from PillowBlaster's 'Guncaster'.

- Power Soldier: now microwave can affect flesh corpses!
- Power Soldier: granted "Slugwall" rotor rifle in place of the older 'RedStinger'.
- integrated a new player class: the "Swaying Nukem". The class redefines its
own system and weapons, and leverages all the specific damage types and states
introduced by 'Power Soldier', albeit in a more straightforward manner.
It is notable for adopting Nash's "Weapon Sway" ACS scriptwork and the
"Duke Nukem death roll" effect from the same author.
- marked unsupported video modes in the appropriate (G)ZDOOM menu.
A bit of rationale... A few months ago, I started working on a new modification
using resources that Chronoteeth sent me - that modification
eventually became 'Polaris'.
After a couple months of work, I decided that I wanted to
show off to Chrono the "system" that I conceived for such mod,
yet none of the planned weapons was ready. And so I went
completely nuts, and decided to create a minimal set from scratch,
that would have exploited the above effects. At the end, 'Polaris'
went its own way also by reusing something that originated here,
but I wanted this set not to be lost anyway.
This is what I came up with.
The characters
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Two playable characters are included - they bear different stats
and personas, and represent the real peculiarity of this modification.
[UAC veteran ] Leone Granger, AKA Gran "Cog" Leone
A long time operative on the Phobos moon, and one that witnessed the original
inter-dimensional incident that brought so many trouble afterwards, Mr. Granger
has proved brave and skilled enough throughout the years to survive countless
hordes of hellspawn. He's earned a reputation as a great soldier, and
superior endurance capabilities; being his training deeply rooted in the past,
he is naturally more versed in the use of firearms.
[Polaris Corp. privateer] Stuart "Stu" Katz
A relatively-new figure among those committed to the DOOM war, Stuart Katz
is one of the most prominent representatives of a new race of bionic-implanted
cyborg soldiers.
He decided to undergo such a painful and sacrificial transformation after losing
half of his family in a netherworld attack on earth, and is now fully devoted to
the cause. Involved as a trusted mercenary in UAC missions, he specialized in the
control of new and prototypical cryogenics-based weapons, under the special training
program of 'Polaris Corp.', UAC's newest subsidiary.
The weapons
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UAC special X-Chainsaw
**********************
A renewed version of the Mixom classic, this is still the preferred weapon for
dealing with hordes of demons. Can be raised and kept silent only to start it
when ambushing the monsters.
UAC standard issue 'LightStinger' rifle (VETERAN starting weapon)
***************************************
The primary, standard issue firearm granted to UAC Space Marines, this weapon
has an autonomy of 30 rounds before requiring a reload. Sometimes, it even gets
handy to poke your opponent with it.
VETERAN : can use it single-round; each round has greater power and is very
loosely affected by recoil.
PRIVATEER: can use it full-auto; each round has low power and is more affected
by recoil.
Polaris Corp. 'Icicle Gun' (PRIVATEER starting weapon) <k>
**************************
A cryogenics-based substitute of the classic shell-fueled shotgun, this weapon
is fed by special coolant cartridges. With a well-placed round, the opponent can
be shattered to ice pieces in a matter of instants.
VETERAN : less accurate when firing; rearm times equal those of a traditional
shotgun.
PRIVATEER: more accurate when firing; rearm times between rounds are shortened.
UAC Hyper-Frequency 'Volcano Cannon' <k>
************************************
An almost-perfect incarnation of the iconic minigun, the 'Volcano Cannon' can fire
at impressive speeds, the only real drawback being wind-up and wind-down times.
Eats ammo very quickly!
VETERAN : acquires deadly power and accuracy in his hands; plus, *no wind-up wait*.
Beware of the ricochets, though.
PRIVATEER: becomes a bit inaccurate and uncontrollable - power is more ordinary, too.
Stuart Katz Inc. (R) 'FireStarter' dynamo discharger <k>
****************************************************
Now this is a peculiar explosive weapon which has been engineered by Mr. Katz himself -
did we mention that he runs a small warfare systems engineering company, too?
Basically a grenade launcher that can sustain a good rate of fire and has fearsome
pyrotechnical capabilities.
VETERAN : prefers to lob grenades one-at-a-time that explode on direct hit,
dealing greater splash damage.
PRIVATEER: is able to exploit the secrets of his own creation, having the grenades
bounce and hit around corners, at the cost of reduced impact power. Though
autofire can quite make up for that...
Polaris Corp. next-generation 'CryoTunneler' <k>
********************************************
Another brand-new prototype conceived by the Polaris laboratories, this device employs
the traditional plasma rifle chassis - only to revolutionize its internal mechanics.
When triggered, it emits an heavy stream of freezing particles at high speed.
VETERAN : uses the weapon less effectively, since the cryogenizing stream tends to
assume a cone-shaped flow, thus becoming less concentrated.
PRIVATEER: keeps the freezing stream under better control, avoiding excessive dispersion
and reaching almost-permeating force levels.
UAC X-BFG 9000 <k>
**************
The ultimate mass-destruction weapon - widely employed in many occasions against the
largest legions of hell - gets a slight restyling, but most of all, a better price/
performance ratio. The required ammunition is now constituted by "melting plasma", which
retains a higher average temperature and reactivity to impacts. The result must absolutely
be experienced...
*** FOOTER NOTE ***: weapons marked with <k> allow the player to deliver an evasive altkick
with its secondary fire trigger, to push away foes and cause minor damage.
Learn to properly exploit this asset!
The powerups
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OmniSphere: a new black-magic artifact that grants the finder
three powers in one...
- double attack power,
- double attack speed,
- infinite resources.
The upgraded class
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Starting from release 5+, an upgraded class is available, the "Power Soldier".
Chazz Henkule-Döeer is an extremely-advanced biomechanical droid that has been modeled
by considering the strongest features of both "Veteran" and "Privateer"; its arsenal
includes the best of both worlds, together with its own additions and tweaks.
GAMEPLAY-WISE, this class is designed to slightly ease the hardest journeys (that is,
Hell Revealed-style WADs) without giving the player gratuituous and unbalanced firepower.
You will find that each weapon has its own great peculiarity *AND* major drawback,
especially on upper tiers.
A quick arsenal summary is given, partially stemming from the above weapon descriptions:
Upgraded X-Chainsaw: increased damage rate.
"Slugwall" rotor rifle: semi-auto and heavier rounds, increased trigger sensitivity.
"Red Icicle" shotgun: major round power, faster response, significant kickback.
"HailStorm" microgun: very high firerate, ripping/bouncing rounds.
"Prowler" grenade thruster: deep-reaching powerful explosive charges, that radius-damage bosses.
"HellMower" blaster minigun: high-frequency explosive hitscan, potentially fire-igniting.
Upgraded X-BFG9000: increased number of spawned plasma sparks.
The Empowerments System
A Power Soldier can exploit a specific feature of its own, that of 'Empowerments': singular
armament upgrades that can consume the auto-recharging bionic surplus of the droid to unleash
extra matter-based attacks towards hellspawn, each one with its strengths and weaknesses.
Empowerments can be loaded as secondary attacks to each of the ordinary arsenal staples by
using a special loader system (see 'Footnotes' section on how to operate it).
Available empowerments - to be rarely found during quests or on bosses - are:
* REPULSION * A simple kinetic thrust command, guaranteed as fallback function when no other empowerment is available or can be sufficiently fueled.
=> useful to make room in crowded situations.
* WHITE PHOSPHORUS * Unleash volcanic formations enclosing a white phosphorus gassous nucleum. Rapid inflammation of surrounding bodies guaranteed.
=> perfect for mass carnage of large former humans groups - leaves a short-lived mine-like formation
if it does not immediately explode by contact into a target.
* LIQUID NITROGEN * Propel a thread of absolute zero, self-nurturing icicles of liquid nitrogen. Create a small-scale glaciation effect.
=> very effective against biomechanical monsters, and in closed spaces - can bounce off multiple times against surfaces
before extinguishing, watery ones in particular!
* MICROWAVE * Permeate the targeted body with a concentrated microwaves burst. Easily replicate the egg-in-oven effect.
=> instantly kills any lesser organic foe (or tight group of). Useless against stronger hellspawn. Works on corpses, too! >-D
* PLASMA * Hurl multiple threads of overheated, proximity-tracking plasma. Dispatch multiple scattered targets with ease.
=> designed for aerial spaces crowded with many different (flying) targets; each thread keeps irradiating the impact zone for a short while
before exhausting its power.
* POWER * Discharge a power-line load equivalent into the nearest body. Mass-chain-folgoration is very likely to ensue.
=> the ensuing explosion is sure to clear out immediately a quite large area surrounding it; however, usage of this empowerment
is to master carefully, since the user can easily get killed in the process.
* METAL * Polarize an airborne formation of metallic shards to high speeds, with timelapse side-effects. Perfect welding against any armour plating.
=> mostly effective against armored foes (i.e. biomechanical); the ability to release the trigger and spare a couple waves
of metal shards (and bionic surplus) is a nice extra.
* ANTIMATTER * Liberate a large and unconstrained antimatter concentration. Destructive diffusion of attracting macro-particles.
=> the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. If used in a close space, it is guaranteed to leave none alive. Yet
be aware that antimatter particles can be equally lethal to yourself.
Creative Waste Instances
Once were simple explosive toxic waste barrels, now... There's something more, or to be honest, a lot more.
Ten different kinds of explosive barrels replace the older ones, each one with peculiar properties and behaviour.
This briefing should help distinguish between them, to exploit each one most effectively in every situation.
barrel type symbol special traits
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Biohazard barrel biohazard danger slightly weaker-than-average explosion, but leaves after
a cloud of toxic gas that tears aggressively
and exhausts shortly after
Nuclear barrel radioactive danger normal explosion, but doubled radius
Tuple-thrust barrel broken purple arrow normal explosion with smaller radius, but also
spread of a large number of bouncing metal shards
all around; spawned also everytime the barrel is
hit with a weapon
Chemical barrel green molecular structure standard explosion, with poisonous blobs emitted
at the same time; they first deposit on ground, then
pop into multiple acid blobs (decaying shortly after)
Flammable barrel fire danger standard explosion, with extra flame leaps ensuing
afterwards and everytime the barrel is hit anyway;
the most-movable of all barrels
Frost barrel frostbiting danger cryogenic explosion; releases freezing clouds
whenever being shot
Reactional barrel do not touch lower explosion damage and radius, but deflagrates at
mere touch - avoid colliding into it
Hazardous barrel exclamation mark explosion shockwave is harmful and generates radial
debris projections: highly damaging
Shock barrel shockwave explosion shockwave is harmless but highly effective:
surrounding creatures are pushed away in all directions
Holocaust barrel death danger releases a chain of multiple explosions upon deflagration;
its heavy shockwave is often sight-disrupting
(NOTE: all barrels now more resistant to damage, require more shots to explode)
The final class
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
And yet a new character class is introduced in release 7++: "Swaying Nukem".
The above is a pseudonym for Edoardo Malka (AKA 'Malka Gato'), a rugged soldier who
is experienced in the usage of technologically-advanced weapons recently issued by UAC.
The class exploits Nash's "Weapon Sway" and "Duke Nukem-styled death" effects and
offers a completely new arsenal of its own:
slot 1: Black Ingot: a personal-defense strenght augmenter, this high-density
\\\\\\\\\\/ lead/titanium metal dan is worn with a wrist belt and
prolongs/enhances the wielder's fist. By hitting a hard surface,
a ultrasound epicenter is generated: its sound waves slowly damage
all surrounding creatures for a short while.
slot 1: Eager Beaver: the classic Mixom chainsaw returns, and can be carried around silent,
\/////////// only to be strip-started at the right moment.
slot 2: Terraformer Rifle: a high-performance, rapid-fire rifle that is common among all
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/ UAC personnel. Has a capacity of 30 rounds. With altfire,
it can be used by aiming down the screened ironsight.
slot 3: Uranus Trenchgun: the new staple of UAC's heavier arsenal supply, the Uranus is
\/////////////// a 9-shell-capacity shotgun that packs the proverbial - but
improved - punch, with a snazzy altfire addon: the larger
load chamber allows to fire two shells simultaneously and
exploits the depleted uranium coating of their pellets, thus
producing a fire leap that pierces any opponent at good range.
slot 4: Deathflower Minigun: this rotating-barrel firearm sports an excellent rate and
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/ an amazing load capacity of 300 rounds. The titular attack mode
can be exploited with altfire: the weapon shortly spins up to
deliver a wave of fifteen crazy, bouncing bullets in all
directions - perfect in closed spaces.
slot 5: Enema Cannon: quite surprisingly for its own (limited) size, the Enema can propel
\/////////// large, highly-explosive grenades at high distance, thanks to its peculiar
"slingshot" barrel. An altfire trigger enables the concealed microwave
antenna embedded in each grenade, and lets it quickly inflate all
surrounding bodies for a short time before exploding.
slot 6: FreezeThrower: cryogenics at their best - the FreezeThrower can emit a stream of
\\\\\\\\\\\\/ up to 50 bolts of frostbiting gas before emptying, and the bolts leave
any victim into cryogenic suspension, ready to be shattered before their
cold coating melts. An alternate fire function allows to use this weapon
as some sort of "ice shotgun": the penetrating, hitscan-type result of
such an attack terminates the target immediately.
slot 7: Burn Force Gun: now don't be fooled by the familiar sound of its name: the Burn Force Gun
\///////////// is totally unlike its predecessor, both because it's got two attacks
instead of one, but also because of *how powerful they are*.
Primary: launch a streak of white phosphorus balls that set aflame and
torment any unlucky target. Mass fire propagation may ensue... ;-)
Alternate: generate a (short-range) black hole that shall suck any
creature into oblivion...
---
This addon also implements its own new system actors, with the most notable being a series of new
exploding barrels, and a (moderately) interactive burning barrel:
UAC waste barrel | A fiercer variant of well-known explosive waste.
UAC microwave barrel | Emits microwaves upon deflagration.
UAC antiparticle barrel | When exploded, spreads antimatter in all directions.
fuel tank | Spits out flames around upon destruction.
white phosphorus canister | Erupts with white phosphorus when shot.
coolant flask | Leaks with irreversibly-frostbiting gas and particles if broken.
liquid nitrogen container | Puts the surrounding creatures into suspended hypothermia.
burning barrel | Very resistant to damage but not immune; short-ranged and strong explosion.
---
Footnotes:
(1) The suggested commandline for launching the modification is the following one
(assumes that the modification has been decompressed in subdirectory 'RSL' of your (G)ZDOOM directory):
(g)zdoom.exe -iwad <IWAD_PATH>\<IWAD_FILE> -file <CUSTOM_LEVEL_PATHNAME> RSL\rslexeem.wad
(2) To try out the upgraded/slightly overpowered "Power Soldier" class, use the following commandline instead:
(g)zdoom.exe -iwad <IWAD_PATH>\<IWAD_FILE> -file <CUSTOM_LEVEL_PATHNAME> RSL\rslexeem.wad RSL\PowerSoldier\rslxmred.pk3
(3) To obtain the complete set of weapons and/or carriable items for quicktesting
without breaking the weapon set at your disposal, type 'rsl' in the console.
(4) To obtain all empowerments at once and try them out beforehand in "Power Soldier", type 'epm' in the console.
(5) To activate the Empowerments Loader System at any time in "Power Soldier", do not forget to bind a key for weapon reload
under 'Options > Customize Controls' in (G)ZDOOM.
(6) In "Power Soldier", the default statusbar is not accessible. However, you can use the high-resolution statusbars
at 'fullscreen' and 'none' scaling levels instead.
(7) To try out the final "Swaying Nukem" class, use the following composite commandline:
(g)zdoom.exe -iwad <IWAD_PATH>\<IWAD_FILE> -file <CUSTOM_LEVEL_PATHNAME>
RSL\rslexeem.wad RSL\PowerSoldier\rslxmred.pk3 RSL\PowerSoldier\SwayingNukem\rslxmrsn.wad
(8) The modification is compatible with the following IWADs: The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM 2, Final DOOM.

By Dari · PostedI'm not usually a fan of slaughterwads (maybe I'm being too harsh, but the slaughter label does def apply to some of the maps), but I set that aside for this wad. Sure, some parts are cheap and the later levels could use a bit more spice, but it's still a mostly enjoyable experience throughout.
By Maximum Matt · PostedAn old-school classic. The part where (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!) the lake drains to reveal a bunch of monster closets is genius.
By AmethystViper · Posted"Pills? I can't swallow those!" "Well then, good news: It's a suppository."
By JoJo_BadDoom · PostedDoes what it says on the tin. And, I learnt a little about the Geneva Conventions and the Red Cross while I'm at it! Can't ask for much more from a WAD, really.
