Marauder In (Almost) Vanilla Doom!

[Mr.S Retro]

Hello Doomguys, Slayers and Marines!

Today I present to you the Marauder from doom eternal brought into (almost) vanilla doom.

This mod should run on anything but chocolate doom and dos (it uses extended DeHackEd).

It was tested on LZDoom3.8.4 .

Also If anyone knows of or has marauder sprites I would happily add them to the the mod.

Here's a link to the test map.

Yes, with some state swapping trickery (which will be difficult to explain and will be a bit hard to execute). In theory you can even recreate Marauder's "shield chase - green eye" using this.

I did it

Interesting but running this in GZDoom and he kept 'shooting' at me under his shield and he was doing no damage. Also seems to pop up some sort of invisible shield infront of my face that blocks my projectiles.

due to how the shield works he cannot harm you while his shield is up, but he does attack with 2x shotgun blasts at once when he lowers his shield.

I understand that but... this is weird

From what your video shows, You have the worst luck, I never saw his eyes go green(25% chance)

There are some people (ThrashMetalFanBert comes to my mind first, but his stuff are usually WIP; and anyone who worked on New Doom conversion mods) have Marauder sprites. Maybe you could try contacting them.

Also what enemy does this replace?

Archvile, only enemy that seemed to be an equal.

Hmm. Pretty jank as far as I can tell - zombie soldier sharing sprites and attack with an archvile? Quick tested on Crispy Doom (2), map11 by the way.

Also, Extended Dehacked only compatibles with Doom Retro and Crispy Doom (and MBF to like state 1099), so perhaps that's why @tgawt is encountering issues.

I had It running perfectly in LZDoom and the archvile fire is the marauder's shield.

I'll try to extract the Marauders sounds from Eternal and compress them a bunch for further immersion

Wouldn't it be better(and possible?) to replace the SS Nazi instead of the Archvile so if you want mappers to still use the Archvile for their maps?

Didn't consider that but,

extracted all the voices to see if I could rip some voice lines, they're in random order and have no indication of their contents

So it would require MBF dehacked, but you can have the Marauder continually spawn an invisible actor that is only slightly larger than the Marauder itself, that acts as it's shield. Then when it attacks with its swing just don't have the shield spawn.

[Gregory Stephens]

This probably would defeat the purpose but you could try modifying BOOM or MBF's source code or something to make the new enemy but that would probably defeat the purpose since you're trying to pull this off using the original unmodified code in a form that everyone can access through a good share of source ports and whatnot. I was going to make a project using a fork of the MBF source code but I can't find a version of DJGPP for my Linux distro of choice, Manjaro Linux for some reason in any of the repositories.

Hey folks, I made classic marauder sprites and sounds if you want to use them.

@Mryayayify Magnificent! I love the lo-fi sound effects based on his original SFX as well. They sound like they are played through a Sega Saturn (one of my favorite consoles, despite its inferior audio handling).

I'm not a "coder" and my intent is to make this playable on most source ports so this is not happening.

On Doom Retro, the "Marauder" never does his "green eyes" phase. On Crispy Doom, he behaves like a normal archvile.

I will also completely rewrite the .Deh Patch and hopefully iron out the bugs.
