[UPDATE] 40mm Grenade Launcher

While this is first of several updates I am gonna post, I noticed that this weapon needed some polishment here and there.
What's changed:

• No more keyconf, instead included the slot for the weapon via Weapon.SlotNumber
• Commented out DoomEdNums
• Fixed caps & indentations inside decorate
• Crushed all sprites through Slade automated process
• Included INFO & CREDITS lump within the wad itself

Thanks for the update.

You are welcome.

Probably I'll come with more updates for all other weapons near the end of this year, hopefully.

I did see that these last round of updates got approved; I'll get them posted within the next couple of days. By the weekend, at the latest.

I took a look at this one, and the update itself looks OK, but the original weapon is missing a few bells and whistles that might be good to add while we're already updating it.

*The weapon produces no flash when firing (that is, it doesn't call A_GunFlash and has no flash state). The muzzle flash frame should probably be bright, if it doesn't have a brightmap or flash frame.
*The projectile could use GLDefs, for the explosion at the very least.
*The explosion is subject to gravity; it should probably have gravity disabled at the start of the death sequence.

Think you're up to adding these properties before I upload it?

I'll add those properties after Blade of Agony Chapter 1 release, I am pretty busy atm.
Thanks for submitting all other updates in the end

Don't worry about it Ozy, I did it for you.... Hope you don't mind?

Changes:
-Added GLDEFS for both 40mm projectiles
-Added a Flash state and A_GunFlash
-Added A_NoGravity to the death sequence of both projectiles

That seems to be everything MW suggested

There is a small issue with that: when you fire the weapon, the room lights up and stays lit.


While testing the weapon, I noticed a couple of things which could do with being addressed:

• The weapon doesn't automatically switch when it runs out of ammo.
• Unlike the normal firing mode's grenade, The player doesn't suffer splash damage from the altfire mode's one if they happen to be in the area of effect.

Whoops, forgot about that.. should be fixed now.

as for the other 2 issue, they should be addressed now.. I just updated my link.

-A_Explode had some extra parameters, not sure why they are there, but I just commented them out just in case they were there for a reason.
EDIT: I should clarify.. this was the reason why the splash damage wasn't working.

-Ready state didn't loop... I gather that's what stopped the auto switch?

The auto-switch problem is till there.

The first two parameters are for the damage and the radius. The third parameter is the culprit. See A_Explode .


Something else I noticed today concerning the original code of the weapon: the altfire mode consumes two points of ammo per shot, which makes no sense considering you're still firing one grenade.
