ABBSPACK WEAPON REPLACEMENTS FOR RISEN3D V2.2.09

Abbspack Version 7.0  -  DEC 2010

FULLPACK - uses the standard Doom weapons but with a different look and sound.

ALTERNATIVE - the same as above except the Plasma rifle is replaced by a Winchester and the pistol by a more powerful Colt.

This MOD uses an additional WAD (abbspack.wad) for different sound effects as well as the Mod's associated ded files.

This Mod WILL NOT overwrite any existing models or skins.
 

IMPORTANT

Make sure you are using the following versions of both Risen3D (v2.2.09) and the R3DLauncher (v7.1) or higher.

Saved games cannot be used if weapon packs are changed owing to different model states being used for each pack.


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION

- Adds standard double barrel shotgun off centre as the original abbspack shotgun was crap.
- Adds new grenade launcher and plasmagun pickups.
- Other minor tweaks and optimisations.
- Addresses plasmagun muzzle flash which failed to render correctly in Risen3D v2.2.09

INSTALLATION

If a previous version of abbspack is installed - remove it, as the old directory structure is now redundant.

Extract abbspack to the folder in which you installed Risen3D - commonly Risen3D.

Initialise abbspack by using the R3DLauncher - under the models tab.


TIPS

Set mipmapping to linear in the game control panel, abbspack weapons look nicer.

Use 32 bit colour otherwise smoke from bullet puffs may not render correctly.

LIMITATIONS

Apart from the usual sound and bullet damage limitations, there are no HUD weapon sprite equivalents - this is a model only mod.

CREDITS

Although I have reworked most of the models, skins and animations - credits must be given to the following parties :-

- ID Software for Doom.
- GMJ for Risen3D.
- SkyJake for the Doomsday port which Risen3D is based on.
- Dani J for providing some of the models, bullet impact deds and the plasma skins used in this pack.
- Cheb for initially helping me with definition explanations.
- PraseodymiuM (for the basis of his TFC Electric Chaingun).
- Generations and SOG (for pistol).
- Half-life (for the basis of the BFG and plasma rifle weapons).

Work in Progress
----------------
There will be various tweaks from time to time so keep an eye out for new versions.

But for now Enjoy ;))
