_sink Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Colander (Colare) is a gampeplay mod for the Eternity Engine (DRDTeam builds advised. you can get the latest HERE) 1.5 out now! Get it here: DOWNLOAD The project started as a recreation of STRAIN's gameplay and feel, intended to be a scary, stressful experience without totally betraying the player. STRAIN has a lot of abnormalities which I like that come from it trying to be a "real sequel" to Doom. I expanded the scope to be more of an elaboration of STRAIN's ideas, turning into it's own beast with it's own gritty occult vibe. Almost all monsters and weapons are altered, some beyond recognition. All the tweaks and changes should compound to encourage a more Ultimate Doom playstyle; more movement, less camping corners and chokes with the SSG. UV is not-insignificantly harder than vanilla in the majority of cases, but your mileage may vary. Playtests are usually conducted with the Scythe series, BTSX and Plutonia. Add-ons and small mutators are planned. Come say hi in the #colare channel at [Secreta Lounge]. I'd like to hear from you if you've got any questions or suggestions, and you can get indev versions that are posted. v1.5.3 changelog: Spoiler v1.5.3; slaughtertools altered the ssg's frame total; the default is 57 frames, 1.5.2 was 71 frames, 1.5.3's is now 63 the zombieman and chaingunner play sounds that include radio beeps. I have changed their sound tables so the sounds with long beeps play less frequently. there may be some miscellaneous changes since v1.5.2 I do not remember.

Loud Silence Posted September 16, 2020 Mod for Eternity Engine that supports both Doom and Doom II... what could be better? I have played with it some Ultimate Doom levels and liked very much. 0 Share this post Link to post
marco.nadal.75 Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) How do I use mods for Eternity Engine? I tried various methods such as extracting files and folders into same folder as Eternity.exe, putting it in its own folder \base\colare, starting with Eternity.exe -game colare, or Eternity.exe -edf colare, but nothing works. I checked the Eternity wiki and couldn't find anything either. Someone please help. Never mind, I just kept the files zipped, and used them like PWADs in Doom Explorer. I combined Colander with Cubic Worlds (WIP) and it's a good challenge. Always like to see some fresh assets. I enjoy try some unique mods outside of Zandronum/GZDoom. Admittedly, bit hard going back to software mode after playing on OpenGL/Vulkan. Maybe I'll connect my PC to a CRT for that retro feel. ;-) Edited November 24, 2020 by marco.nadal.75 : Problem solved 3 Share this post Link to post

Alternatively, you can also save the zipped files inside a .pke file, which is similar to .pk3 files but specifically designed for EE. 1 Share this post Link to post

_sink Posted February 19, 2022 very very small update. I was just playing and didnt like the shotgun sound anymore. so I changed it. I may have changed other stuff but its been like, a year, man. idr 2 Share this post Link to post
_sink Posted May 21, 2022 small update. i was playing and noticed that the shotgunners and chaingunners beep a lot, so I made them beep less. I found the ssg horrendously slow, so raised its firing speed by a few frames, made its animation a little more snappy. 1 Share this post Link to post
MauryMyers Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Great mod, I've been enjoying it a lot. The regular shotgun and plasma rifle feels so good to heard, look and use. The rifle is fun to use with the alternate fire but looks odd tho. Edited May 24, 2022 by MauryMyers 1 Share this post Link to post

MauryMyers Posted June 6, 2022 Is part of the jank that the pinkys jump from the structures? 0 Share this post Link to post

It's a feature! iirc I also cursed the spectres in a really specific but probably unnoticeable way. Ideally when Aeon happens I'll be able to roll a few checks to make sure they dont get themselves stuck like they do now sometimes. 1 Share this post Link to post
