: GZ Doom's Brutal Doom starter pack is a good example of what Marathon 1 Redux
: can strive for in map design, new engine features and other such things.
: That mod seems to be a recreation of Doom 1's Alpha as outlined in the Doom
: Bible to some extent, Marathon 1 Redux could be a similar thing as it may
: have branching story paths and the bomb that were missing from the
: original on top of the new stuff.
I've never seen this, probably because I tend to shun anything DOOM related. If it's freely downloadable and runs on Linux, I'll have a look.
: Could the Marathon 1R have the old physics engine for grenade jumping? M1A1's
: nerfed grenade jumping from Durandal and Infinity isn't as good and I'd
: like to see Classic "gun acrobatics" from M1 Classic in Infinity
: style maps, including existing mods like Eternal etc.
This is one of the top items on my wishlist. I'm going with A1 format so I can do liquids, ambient sound, etc., so hopefully I can set a flag so A1 will use the MONSTER_CAN_GRENADE_CLIMB rules for the player.
If that fails, I'm fiddling with the idea of using the shock staff as a climbing weapon. Initially, I set it's recoil high to make it stop the player from moving forward while using it, and to make it difficult to manage, but in my testing I found that the high recoil makes it *too* easy to jump up on ledges and I'll have to tone it down for next week's release.
