New texture Packs for Samsara : Extra heroes made....

I found this really neat mod for doom on the net last night... Called Samsara : Extra Heroes, it allows you to play as 16 different characters from various different FPS games... The games list is quite good and on top of that, the enemies from the games get placed in the maps if you use a bonus addon included with it called EXmixer.... This mod makes this thing amazing... All it needs is texture packs to play levels with enemies, weapons and the look of a specific game...

That's where I came in and made texture packs for duke3d/shadow warrior/blood, blake stone, heretic/hexen, and wolf3d for the mod... You can download  the texture packs and the batch files to run each one here...

New enemies show up in many of these games, as well as new weapons..  Duke gets a 2 new enemies, shadow warrior gets 6-7 new ones, wolf3d gets 7 new ones, many of the others get new ones but I could not test a few due to my issues with opengl causing the game to lock up my system with a looping sound if I try to run in opengl...  In some of these cases models are used for enemies and weapons, so they can't be tested by me.... That includes quake 1 and 2, and half life...

the textures for the games are from the following authors:
wolf3d : dbthanotos/areyep
duke3d/shadow warrior/blood : pixelWAD
heretic/hexen : dbthanotos/raven
blake stone : dark textures pack makers

To play with a new level that is randomly generated make sure to download OBSIDIAN here and use it to generate new maps for doom with the required theme.... Duke3d/shadow warrior/blood use urban, the rest use tech...  Make the wad, put it in your doom 2 folder, and go to a dos prompt and type the following:

cd C:\doom2
Then type the batch file to play the level followed by  a space and your wad without the extension
so to play the duke3d mode type
loadssd3d.bat random
to play random.wad in it...
Other batch files include:
loadssw3d.bat (wolf3d)
loadssbld.bat (blood)
loadsssw.bat (shadow warrior)
loadssbs.bat (blake stone)
loadsshtic.bat (heretic/hexen)
loadssrott.bat (ROTT)
loadssd64.bat (Doom 64)
loadsshl.bat (half-life : requires opengl)
loadssqk2.bat (quake 2 - rrequires opengl)
loadssqk.bat (quake 1 - requires opengl or software with poly renderer)
loadsstech.bat (marathon/strife/corridor 7)

Edit : New version made with improved shadow warrior and blood textures that require a tech map to use right... So don't use urban with them anymore...

Onslaught : Extreme Combat Reborn is now on Itch.io!

 

 I finally have a good home for Onslaught, my free FPS game with a metal theme...  I put it on itch.io last night...  It got a good response and got a lot of downloads last night, which is great. But I think the fans on this blog might like it... It has  has fast paced gameplay with cybernetic powers you can bind to keys.  It also has a lot of nasty enemies, and they come in hordes..

The story goes like this:

 

In the 1800's a mad cult formed to exterminate humanity. They took over governments worldwide over the next few hundred years and eventually in 2142 they nuke Washington DC and Paris by using the US government against them. Then they start bombing various cities worldwide, turning the world into a post apocalyptic wasteland.  They send mutations after people to kill off survivors... The only person who can stop them is you.

 

You are "bastard" a metalhead cyborg mercenary with super powers.  Throughout the game you go around fighting hordes of enemies, and need to use cyborg powers to fight them...  You get 34 new guns, not limited to the basic ones found in every FPS.  Some are really unique... Here is a list of guns!

plasma pistol/lever action shotgun/semi auto double shotgun/autoshotgun/spread rifle (a bullet weapon that shoots a spread of bullets)/overkill cannon (a full auto 4 barrel shotgun)/spike rifle (a nailgun/shotgun hybrid)/assault rifle/3 barrel chaingun/lg80 homing bullet battle rifle/nailbomb/turdbomb/asskicker double rocket launcher backpack/rocket chaingun/nuclear waste gusher/nailgun/skewer (a gun that shoots a dart on a chain that gibs enemies)/stun gun/laser rifle/laser cannon/plasma cannon/flamethrower/napalm cannon (a shotgun/flamethrower hybrid)/gasoline can (can set the ground on fire with this)/seismic disruptor (kills enemies with earthquakes)/black hole gun

Throught the game you fight through 31 levels all with a mission objective. Each level gets harder than the previous one... Minus a few..  You end up going through cities all around the US in this, but they are all post apocalyptic.  There are also a few Cult bases...   Including one in death valley.

Here are screenshots...
