Immoral Conduct ZDoom

INSTRUCTIONS:

ZDoom.exe -file icd-deh.wad

Add any extra parameters you usually use for deathmatch as you see fit.

Immoral Conduct was designed for deathmatch, and works with any retail Doom iwad
(Doom, DoomII, Final Doom, etc.), as long as you use ZDoom to play (obviously).





NOTE ON SINGLE / CO-OP:

I needed to use a ton of frames, so I borrowed them from a number of Doom2 monsters.
Namely the Pain Elemental, Hell Knight, and most Zombie splatter / respawn frames.
What this means is that some monsters have no ressurect animations, and the zombies
all share the same splatter / respawn animation. Hell Knights look like Barons, and
Pain Elementals look like Cacodemons, and Wolfentstein guys look like troopers.
This is meant to be deathmatch only anyway, so the loss of certain monsters is not
a concern of mine.
I added a few little differences, so you can tell them apart: Pain Elementals are
smaller than cacodemons and slightly translucent. Hell knights look like mini-barons,
and barons themselves are taller. Wolfenstein guys react quicker, and move faster than
standard troopers as well. All the changed monsters still have their old sounds, though.



BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

Immoral Conduct is an urban style deathmatch game. No plasma guns or hellish artifacts.
Stuff like Megaspheres, and partial invisibility haven't changed in function, but they
look more... "earthly".

Only weapons have changed for the most part, everything else (gameplay wise) has remained 
like traditional Doom.

Weapons:

-Fists
 Powerful, quick action. Hold the attack button to make quick left jabs, or let go
 of the attack button to make a devastating right sweep. Extremely effective with Berserk.

-Combat Knife
 Very deadly, and can easily shred a cornered victim within seconds. Has a more consistant
 attack than the fists, but comparably powerful.

-Dual Wield .45 Pistols
 Tap the trigger for accuracy or go crazy up close.

-Pump Action Shotgun
 Slow action, but fires a very large spread of pellets. Use up close for insta-kills.

-Automatic Shotgun
 Fires a much smaller spread of pellets, but with a quick action to pick away your target.

-Uzi Submachine Gun
 Fires an accurate burst of 2, or an extremely fast spray of automatic. Use up close
 for best results.

-Grenade Launcher
 Shoots bouncy grenades that detonate on contact with people. Aim upwards to get
 more distance.

-Assault Rifle
 Can be used 2 ways. Tap the trigger for a very powerful accurate shot, or go automatic
 and tear the flesh off your target in seconds.

-Sniper Rifle
 Extremely powerful accurate shot, but a slow action. Only the healthiest and most armored
 can survive an attack from this weapon. Use with an FOV hack for zooming...

Powerups:

-Small Medikit (stimpack)

-Medium Medikit (medikit)

-Large Medikit (soul sphere)

-Large Medikit with Combat Armor (megasphere)
 Looks like a health box with blue armor next to it.

-Light Armor (green armor)

-Combat Armor (blue armor)

-Antibiotic Pill (health bonus)
 Looks like a rotating blue pill.

-Stamina Pill (armor bonus)
 Looks like a rotating green pill.

-Light Amp Goggles
 Looks more like goggles / headset now.

-Berserk
 Unchanged.

-Painkillers (invulnerability)
 Looks like a small pill bottle.

-Experimental Drugs (partial invisibility)
 Looks like a medicine bottle with a syringe.





Levels:

There are no levels supplied with this.

If you want to make a level for Immoral Conduct, go ahead! Just try to keep with the theme;
that is, urban or light sci-fi style areas.
