Doom Ray Traced - Fluffy Mod

Added 2022-04-09 17:27:38 +0000 UTC

Sultim-T made a really neat port of Doom (based on prBoom Plus) that adds ray tracing: https://github.com/sultim-t/prboom-plus-rt/releases

In preparing for a playthrough of it, I made my own fork with various changes. It's available here in case anyone wants to check it out: https://github.com/FluffyQuack/prboom-plus-rt/releases/tag/v1.0.2-FluffyMod-v1.0

Like with my OpenLara and OpenXcom forks, this isn't something I'm planning to maintain. Just a project I did quickly. I focused on some quality-of-life changes (like faster weapon switching and removal of the arbitrary firing delay on pistol and shotgun), and a new enemy type that fires projectiles that adds more lighting effects.

Full list of changes:

New evil marine enemies that are quite evil but show off ray tracing quite well thanks to varied projectile usage. This also randomizes enemy spawns somewhat. (use "-normalmonsters" command line argument to turn this feature off)
200p video mode is now 320x200 with no CRT filter (if you choose this, I suggest changing presentation resolution to 1600x1200)
Animation for switching weapons is 3 times faster
Possible to switch away from shotguns in the middle of pumping animation
Game remembers the state of the shotguns if they're ready to fire or not
Firing delay removed from pistol and shotguns
Added visual recoil to player weapon sprite
It's now possible to shoot rockets as they fly mid-air
Removed the "Press 'F' to turn on flashlight" message
