The curently supported version of Brutal Doom is V21
Check out my other Oblige Addon BrutalOblige. It has more features but its not compatible with ObAddon.
Requirements:
- Oblige / Onlige64 Version 7.70 (For those of you who don't know Oblige is a random map generator for Doom. It's really good and you should check it out)
- you can also use Oblige 7.70 enhanced
- Brutal Doom Version 21
- ObAddon
- doom2.wad or doom_complete.pk3
Features
- New monsters: Belphegor, Juggernaut, Mother Demon, Volcabus, Ancient Arachnotron, Zyberdemon (from 00_Zombie_00)
- New weapons: BFG 10k, Grenade Launcher and Railgun
- Probability of each of the new monsters/weapons appearing can be tweaked or switched off completely
- Grenades appear alongside other ammo pickups
How to use - Latest development version
-
Download or clone this repository.
-
If on Windows run BuildPK3.bat, requires an up to date version of Powershell and .NET If on *nix run BuildPK3.sh, requires zip
If this builds successfully then move on to step 4. If this method fails or otherwise can't be used then try the manual method in the next step
3) - Manual) Add all the folders to a zip folder called BrutalOblige.zip
Rename it to change the extension from .zip to .pk3, if on Windows you can use the included zip2pk3.bat to do this for you.
Note that if you downloaded this from gitlab rather than cloning the repo you can't just rename that .zip, first you must unzip it, then put the folders that are inside the BrutalOblige-whatever folder that comes out into a zip. This is the way Gitlab works, there's nothing I can do about it.
-
Copy or move the pk3 to Oblige's addon directory. This will be in the same place as Oblige.exe on Windows or /usr/share/oblige/addons on Linux.
-
Run Oblige, select Menu, Addon List and check the box for BrutalOblige. Restart Oblige, Brutal Doom should now appear as an option in the game menu.
-
Click build to generate a wad with the new maps.
-
Load this wad after Brutal Doom
-
Happy hunting.
Known issues
- This is just an addon so any known issues with Oblige or Brutal Doom will still be present.
- If you get "Script error, "brutalv20b.pk3:cvarinfo" line 1: cvar 'bd_bloodamount' already exists" then you are loading brutal doom twice. Try loading just the generated wad, it should pull in brutal automatically.
- double check that the pk3 is BrutalOblige.pk3 not BrutalOblige.pk3.zip
