kalensar Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Demo video: Just unzip and load the PK3 into GZDoom or LZDoom. Cannot guarantee it to work on other source ports. This is a conversion primarily for Doom, but it does work on Freedoom as well. No maps are included. This is a mod to bring Freedoom Universe into the modern gaming age using the powers of GZDoom Engine. The mission goal: is to bring as much of Freedoom Universe to the table as possible with monsters, weapons, and textures while keeping the file size as compact as possible; To revolutionize the combat in the same vein as Brutal Doom but maintaining a unique experience at the same time. To this end, a whole new set of original code has been brought to fold to bring fun, blood, and lots of Player and Monster deaths. Be prepared for grenade chucking zombies, fierce tactics from fireballs all over the place, and more brutal weaponry for FreeDoom. Changelog-- 3/17/22-- Update! Replaced Taser with the Angle Grinder. Replaced Doom3 SSG with Freedoom SSG, primary fire is single shot and can reload with Reload key. Altfire is double barrel fire Added Freedoom Pistol as a starter Item. Has infinite ammo but slow fire rate. Wimpy Weapon but necessary. You still also start with the Rifle. Cut down unneeded data space! File size is now 13 MB with zero loss of capability! Added New Skill difficulty of Unholy Massacre. harder than Extreme Carnage, aka its equivalent to UV+ but with no Fast Monsters. Super Fun!!! Added in extra GLDEFS ( Dynamic Lights) AND fixed all the "dancing" torches and stuff! Everything should look much less buggy and more closer to Freedoom accuracy. 11/26/21-- Update to Version Delta. New WEAPONS Update. No more clunky Alt fires. All weapons are single fire. Pistol Replaced with new Rifle that is the only weapon that reloads via Reload key. New Weapons graphics. Info below. Added Freedoom Midi Pack for Doom 2 for those sweet tunes! Updated all textures to PalPlus palette... Something advertised before but wasn't actually in effect. Gives Old school CRT colors basically. Basically just a giant prettifying update all around Read the new info below to know more! 11/3/21--- Update! Added Freedoom Enemies, prettied up Explosions and blood graphics on enemies. Added extra blood code from Doom Unbroken creator -DIMOShunter aka SATRYAD24 to help spruce up the graphics a bit. 10/22/21-- BIG PATCH! Much APOLOGY! The previous version was faulty. Updated ALL GLDEFS so that they are now as they should be! Everything that should light up lights up now. No more dark fire, dark gun flashes, explosions, lost souls or plasma! Smoothed out animations on Shotgun and especially SuperShotgun Added some missing textures. Beefed up a couple of monsters: Better Zombies, Slightly more aggressive imps, Cyber now shoots the faster rockets, speed boost to Cacodemon, Spectres are now Stealth. added more Brightmaps. 10/21/21 Gigantic Graphics overhaul Thanks to BretBot the Cryonaut!!! Major upgrade to most projectiles throughout the mod. Set graphics to Particles only for best effects New Play Palette and new Color Map Updated Liquids graphics across the board. Updated GLDEFS and Brightmaps that act very different but very cool!!! Brutal Freedoom GZD Can be used on any Doom wad including Freedoom Phase 1&2, Doom 1, Doom2, Plutonia and TNT. Works with any vanilla map wad. Basically it works with anything. Monster death animations have been sped up so they fall over faster; monster walking animations have been smoothed out, and explosions have faster animations as well. This mod is also tailored toward the visual aspects of FreeDoom in the same way as listed above. Weapon changes: All weapons come from Realm 667 and have been heaviy modified by me.

(obtained from Realm667) - ----------------------------------------- Personal thoughts section. I am aware there are other Brutal FreeDoom projects out there. The difference here is that this one is the smallest Brutal Freedoom made to date, and only uses one Brutal Doom asset, aka Bolognese gore mod. The rest of the mod was written and compiled by me, and assets from the generous Bretbot the Cryonaut. What this means is that it is self contained and will basically never be out dated just because it does not rely on any other assets except the maps and Iwad used.

Thxs loads mate. :o) You're welcome! Be careful, Zombies are very grenade happy, but they can easily kill themselves too. Main HUD doesn't show the grenade count normally except when you are on Fist, but Alt-HUD will show them on the pistol. The Zombies use the same grenades you do and they do not one shot any actual demons. They will one shot Shotgunners and Zombiemen though. I'm warning on that aspect because none of this mod plays like Brutal Doom at all where grenades kill everything. Also, Bolognese controls are in the options at the bottom. You can adjust the gore and gibitude to whatever it allows. 1 Share this post Link to post

kalensar Posted March 17, 2022 updated the demo video showing the new difficulty on MAP01 of Doom 2. Don't Worry. This mod has the Freedoom 2 Midi Pack in it so no classic D_RUNNIN assault on the ears. 0 Share this post Link to post
