Alt\rslngapG.wad for alternate palettes/font sets/mugskins/HUDs (optional); Alt\rslngams.pk3 for Quake Ranger simplified rendition (optional); Alt\rslnghud.wad for visor HUD (optional) Release date : December 15, 2021 Author : Richard Smith Long Email Address : [redacted] Other Files By Author : rslproto.zip, rslrebel.zip, rslvenge.zip, rsliczdp.zip Misc. Author Info : AKA "Dick S. Long" Description : get yourself some new tools, without forgetting the old ones... My rationale: ------------ When I released my mod "Revenge", I immediately received a lot of criticism for the changes done to the standard DOOM weapons (manual reload in particular). Beyond the change of graphics and sounds, what I had in mind most was to alter the original arsenal behaviour, introducing slight balance alterations that would have forced you to rely more on certain weapons than before. After having read all the comments on /IDGames, I set out to improve on my original idea, this time with a different approach: the original weapons now retain their classic power and speed values, reload is automatic, and to enrich the arsenal a number of new tactical weapons are introduced. With everything rendered as smoothly as possible, taking the work of Perkristian and phi108 as the starting base. The result is some sort of "Revenge 2: The Revenge", but more so. :-) DISCLAIMER: the work of Perkristian and phi108 has been collected and tidied up in a separate WAD, which can still work on its own. They are given full credit, along with all other originators of resources I have used in the mod. As usual, please let me know if I forgot somebody or made mistakes in this connection...

The arsenal ----------- Starting weapons: pistol, one shock grenade (and your fists, of course). NOTE: all weapons requiring reload enter automatically such state when you try to fire with an empty magazine (provided you have enough ammo in store to refill the weapon). knife _____ An excellent replacement for your fists, this contact weapon allows for long-sustained melee attacks. TACTICS: use its blade on demons and spectres, or even on former humans if you're running short of ammunition. *Special*: altfire lets you try to ride an imp and use its claws! You won't be able to pick anything up, though. DISALLOWS USE OF YOUR FISTS ONCE YOU FIND ONE. pistol / twin pistols _____________________ Magazine capacity: 10 rounds (per single weapon). Ammo type: 9-gauge bullets. When you get another one from a former human, you can wield both in an akimbo fashion, benefitting from increased firing speed. TACTICS: the preferred hitscan weapon for the weakest opponents in general; quite accurate, allows you to spare the mightiest ammunition for stronger foes. THEY GET DITCHED ONCE YOU FIND AN MP40. mp40 ____ Magazine capacity: 40 rounds. Ammo type: 9-gauge bullets. This automatic weapon can be stolen from nazi guards you may encounter during yor journey through hell. Once you find this, your pistol(s) become almost of no use since the mp40's firing ratio is way better, only at the cost of slightly less power per round. TACTICS: the ultimate 9-gauge weapon; quite rare depending on your quest. Use short sprays on the weakest targets, and you'll make the most of it. shotgun _______ Magazine capacity: 8 rounds. Ammo type: 12-gauge shells. Staple of the DOOM arsenal, always (rightfully) retaining an horizontal pellet dispersion effect only. The reload sequence can be interrupted in case of dire fire need. TACTICS: once the all-round DOOM weapon, now impaired by the (yet interruptible) reload sequence. Still the best power/accuracy ratio - recommended at mid-range, especially on mid-tier monsters. IT GETS DITCHED ONCE YOU FIND A SUPERSHOTGUN. super shotgun _____________ Magazine capacity: 1 round. Ammo type: 12-gauge shells. Its smashing blast now sports a handy kickback effect - this is particularly useful during one-on-one confrontations with heavier demons, in case your opponent tends to get too close. TACTICS: the best in case of close combat with hell nobles and mid-bosses in general. And the augmented kickback lets you make some room to escape when you need it. chaingun ________ Magazine capacity: 200 rounds. Ammo type: 10-gauge bullets. The chaingun now has its own firing sound, and refueling needs: it is fed by 10-gauge bullets (an ammunition type different from the one exploited by the pistol or MP40). TACTICS: perfect in case of 'guerrilla-style' action. Let out a short burst, take cover, and repeat. Watch out for the belt counter, though. IT GETS DITCHED ONCE YOU FIND A SERVO-ASSISTED MINIGUN. servo-assisted minigun ______________________ Magazine capacity: seamless feed. Ammo type: 10-gauge bullets. Depicted as the natural evolution of the standard-issue chaingun, this automatic weapon boasts an impressive firing rate and does not require reload. Its only real drawbacks are the wind-up and wind-down delay, and the embarrassing recoil effect. TACTICS: thanks to the impressive fire rate, it almost serves as a replacement for the plasma rifle, should you lack sufficient cell ammo. But you'll have a hard time keeping it pointed to the right direction. Works wonders against crowds of former humans. sniper rifle ____________ Magazine capacity: seamless feed. Ammo type: 10-gauge bullets. A special-purpose firearm: moderately powerful yet highly accurate, this is your weapon of choice for remote targets. TACTICS: sniping at long range - this is what it's all about, and not much more! rocket launcher _______________ Magazine capacity: 1 round. Ammo type: rockets. TACTICS: the rocket launcher has mantained its power, but not its fire rate (requires reload after each shot). However, it's still the most straightforward explosive weapon at your disposal, and you'll often revert to it despite the more powerful alternatives you'll find along the way. shock grenades ______________ Ammo type: shock grenades. A new explosive device available to space marines, this kind of grenade can sustain a good number of impacts before exploding. Releases a generous load of fragments upon deflagration. TACTICS: good for striking the enemy around corners; a great asset against tougher monsters in general. One may be sufficient to kill an archvile, two can thrash a baron of hell - but you may want to practise your throwing skills, for it can bounce back at you very easily. Avoid wasting them on liquid surfaces! missile repeater ________________ Magazine capacity: 20 rounds. Ammo type: mini-missiles. The most effective explosive weapon designed by UAC engineers, this double-barreled, shoulder-mounted missile launcher can emit up to 5 missiles per seconds. Unfortunately, it has first been exploited by hellspawn (you'll find how ;-D). After having been fired, each missile weaves around for a few seconds before stabilizing on its final trajectory, and then homes in at full speed on the target locked at the time of launch. If no target was locked, the missile proceeds following a straight line. TACTICS: a wonderful high tier weapon, if not for the blast damage and stabilization time required by each projectile. By far the best choice against fast-moving targets (i.e. revenants, archviles). plasma rifle ____________ Magazine capacity: 80 rounds. Ammo type: cells. TACTICS: the plasma rifle has retained all its old figures, and it remains the best classic rapid-fire weapon. The fact that it holds a magazine capacity of 80 cell units minimizes the time wasted for reloading it, but may still require you to adjust your old tactics a bit. IT GETS DITCHED ONCE YOU FIND A WEIRDING CANNON. weirding cannon _______________ Magazine capacity: 60 rounds. Ammo type: cells. A highly-experimental, energy-based UAC weapon whose power revolves around the exploitation of highly-concentrated wave streams. Tests conducted on former human subjects have at best resulted in heavily disturbing effects. TACTICS: only really effective at mid-range, this weapon is really deadly against crowds of imps or former humans: first concentrate on one of them, then unleash the chain-reaction and enjoy the show! bfg 9000 ________ Magazine capacity: 3 rounds. Ammo type: cells. TACTICS: the bfg 9000 will always be the easiest weapon in the hardest situations. Yet the once-possible continuous fire is now no more, for the magazine weapon holds only three rounds and it's slow to reload, so all you HR-style players have been warned ;-) liquid nitrogen rifle _____________________ Magazine capacity: seamless feed. Ammo type: liquid nitrogen flasks. A well-known physical phenomenon, a brilliant exploitation for modern warfare: this nitrogen-fueled rifle is one of the most effective weapons designed to face the hordes of the netherworld. Its tank-fueled, seamless gas stream allows to irreversibly freeze even the most enduring creatures, all in a matter of seconds. After a while, the frozen body shatters in a multitude of chunks, leaving no resurrectable corpse. TACTICS: good in every situation, but especially when an archvile is around and you don't want to let him find any corpses to revive. Seems especially effective on bosses, which can get quickly permafrosted if exposed to a continuous nitrogen stream... hades lance ___________ Power source: dark mana. The strength of this horned staff naturally revolves around the power of hell fire. Forged out of the darkest iron within the bowels of hell, the lance incorporates two distinct attack modes: >one-shot fire (DRAINS HEALTH): hurls a slow, gravity-affected lava blob that explodes upon first contact. While its power allows the wielder to devastate an extremely large area with a single blow, for this very reason he is also very prone to get killed in the process. >continuous fire: unleashes a stream of fireballs that explode upon collision, granting heavy localized damage. TACTICS: generally very powerful, it is able to turn former humans into flaming torches almost instantly. The continuous fire mode is good for everything albeit not at close range; with the one-shot attack you can clean entire areas in a single round, but just after you fire the meteor, be sure to *run away and take cover*. Both fire modes need a considerable amount of warm-up time. vile skull __________ Power source: dark mana. If in the hands of the marine, the head of an archvile can become the ultimate hellish weapon - against hell itself. Ways of obtaining an intact skull are somewhat obscure, you'll have to discover them. >primary fire (DRAINS HEALTH): allows to exploit the vile's healing ability, resurrecting dead monsters to fight on your side. >secondary fire: the skull vomits two angered spirits from its orbits, that seek for nearby creatures and torture them for a while before expiring spontaneously. TACTICS: this weapons' altfire is the preferred means for dealing with large bosses. The healing ability can be exploited in a variety of ways: as an example, to momentarily deceive the enemies' fire on another target and gain time to counterattack them from another side. the storage ----------- UAC proximity landmine ______________________ A powerful nuclear device that can be taken around and activated whenever necessary. When deployed on the ground, the mine enters its ready state: as soon as it comes into contact with any moving target, it signals activation with a brief alerting sound and then explodes, leaving a shockwave that lasts for a few seconds and continues to deal damage to the surrounding area. UAC ACCU ________ The "Atomic-Core Cluster Unit" is the latest among UAC's ever-growing arsenal offerings, and it is aptly named. Upon release, this electronically-controlled explosive package exhausts a short timeout and then generates five waves of cluster explosions, that should clear the surrounding area. To top it off, the device finally deflagrates with a small-scale nuclear explosion that should finish the job. UAC portable infrared goggles _____________________________ A more modern version of the popular UAC gadget, these ones can be carried around and activated whenever necessary. powerups -------- triple damage sphere ____________________ When acquired, this magical sphere grants you triple damage for any weapon. Unfortunately, its effects do not last long. extras ------ Additional color palettes/font sets/HUDs/mugskins (*) are provided to load after the main modification, to adapt its colours to different quest themes (from sci-fi to horror). Such palettes were evaluated by me across all my modification work to support specific arsenals; while I abandoned the idea, I am providing here all of them - fully credited - also for easier integration in other works by different authors, *provided that the original author is credited*. Also, a visor-style, scripted HUD originated from the designs of Mike12 and Saegiru can be loaded to work both with regular (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) resolutions (although the latter is officially unsupported). And finally, a simplified rendition of the modification with more advanced gameplay management effects and quickened weaponry, plus a custom mugshot to better match the default effect player voice (taken from id Software's Quake) is available, too...
