New Shotgun Fire-modes for ScoreDoom & ScoreDoomST

Scoredoom and ScoreDoomST have been updated.

Added default alt-fires to the shotgun and supershotgun. Particularly with the add-on pack, I noticed that shotgun ammo was under utilized. The shotgun alt-fire consumes 2 shells and acts more like an accurate rifle type weapon. Supershotgun alt-fire consumes 8 shells and has a very large spread and is especially devastating at close range. These changes will make the shotgun more viable alternatives against ‘bullet sponge’ enemies.

More Hi Score Server Updates, and a New Gameplay Update Coming

There is a new megawad added: Hell Awakened. Fun and hard gameplay.

It has at least one potential bug on MAP07, that can cause the player to be trapped in certain siuations, see this thread Other than that, it is worth checking out if you are looking for a challenging megawad.

Eviltech (SD Fixed) has been updated in the SDFixedWadsFiles.zip archive to reflect the latest version on the idgames archive.

Support for DTWID 1.1a has been added too.

GZScoredoom and ScoredoomST will both be updated soon so that the shotgun and double shotgun will have alt-fires, like the chaingun, and other stronger weapons. I noticed that shells were always under utilized. This will help make these weapons more usable against tougher enemies.

2012 Hi Score Server Update

Support for the following wads have been added: Lunatic, Jenesis, Doom the way ID Intended (DTWID), 1994 Tune Up, Phobos Revisited, Deimos Revisited, Reverie, Doom Core, Khorus’ Speedy Shit, Claustrophobia 2 and Memorial.

So there are more Ultimate Doom wads with some challenging boss rushes to take on with the add-on pack.

Memorial is basically all the Doom2 maps revised into one big map! There are some <!> icons present here and there (at the beginning at least), will look into fixing that if I get time.

Support for a version of ZPACK fixed for ScoreDoom is added as well. This version and ‘fixed’ versions for Lunatic.wad and 1994TU.wad can be grabbed from the updated SDFixedWadsFiles.zip file.

 

 

ScoreDoomST Master Server back up!

ScoreDoomST Master Server back up at scoredoom.dyndns.org (port 15300)!

The server was down due to a policy change with dyndns.org deliberately deleting accounts that they deemed not active. I was not aware of this change until recently. This meant that the server was unreachable. But the server should remain up now.

 

Scoredoom 3.0r4f Chain Bonus Countdown Timer Added

To keep a chain bonus going, you need to make a kill every 3 seconds. So when faced with different types of enemies and weapons, how do you decide what to do to max out points? Do you take out the Barons with the BFG, or work on the imps first with the double shotgun? This latest release has a 3 bar timer that counts down the seconds to show you how long you have left to make a kill. This should give players a better sense of timing when taking on enemies.

By default hud_spreecenter=false now in your <yourusername>-zdoom.ini file, so you will need to go in there and set it back to true to see center aligned chain counts.

ScoreDoom 3.0r4d Bug fix and Chain Counts!

Fixed a bug whereby Total Kills bonus message would keep re-appearing in some situations.
New Feature: ‘Chain Count’ stat added that counts the total monsters killed that the player has chained together successfully. This stat is also displayed in green just below the middle of the screen. The green stat can be turned off by setting hud_spreecenter=false in the zdoom-<yourusername>.ini file.

Chain Count In Effect

ScoreDoom 3.0R4 Gets A New Look

I finally got around to fixing ScoreDoom to use GZDoom’s awesome alternative HUD. Its a much slicker and informative layout. The old HUD I never really liked much.

3.0R4 also awards total kills, total secrets, total barrels and total items bonuses as they are accomplished, but are still scored at the end of the level.

Here is a preview with a description:

New Hud

The new HUD is built using GZDoom's awesome Alternative HUD.

K, I, S, B are the Kill, Item, Secret and Barrel counts for the level.

LS, WS are the Level Scores and Wad Scores. If you are taking on a hi score in single player, or trailing in co-op, the leader’s name is shown along with the spread that you are behind by.

TL is the time left before the scoredoom par time is hit for the level, whereby you will get serious penalties for not finishing the level.

MD is the game mode in single player. It can be RG for Regular mode, or a combination of HC for Hardcore mode, PS for Pistol Start mode, NI for No-Infighting mode (also means monsters dont damage each other as well)
