Batbot DM 1.0 mod by Captain Mellow

This mod will only work with the Deathbot or DosDoom 0.653 or later.

This is an adaptation of the fine dehacked-based Batman TC mod by Ace team, converted to DDF for the Deathbot by yours truly. There have been some (cough) changes made as well:

1. I left the chainsaw in without any changes, because it is useless in DM, & the close combat attack is broken in DosDoom anyway. So there is no tazer. Sorry.

2. The Batarang should be like the original.

3. The Superblast gun should be like the original, as should the blast gloves.

4. The Shuriken gun is has been strengthened _quite_ a bit. It will mow things down pretty quickly now.

5. The smoke bombs should actually be _better_ now. I made the throwing animation faster, as the original one was far too slow & awkward-looking.

6. The flamethrower's flames are now subject to gravity. It was an attempt to make the flames go the limited range that the original one seemed to have. You can still get better range by arcing your shot, like the one in Fanatic's ROKS.

7. The Azrael's Gloves were completely unsuitable for deathmatch, & so they were replaced outright by a completely new invention of mine, the Deathball. This weapon is very unique, as its projectiles can be banked off of walls. The deathball has 2 ways to inflict damage: the crushing effect of its direct impact, which is is incredibly powerful, & then the detonation damage caused by the deathball exploding on a floor or ceiling nearby.

Deathball fun:
* Try to see how many enemies in a row the deathball will punch through. 
* Bank shots off of walls to gib enemies around corners. 
* See how many times you can get the deathball to go around a room by sliding one along the walls. 
* Set timed detonations by sticking deathballs to the walls, sliding slowly up to the ceiling or down to the floor. 
* Off the pillar, off the wall, off the other wall, into the zombie--nothing but net. 

One final note: This DDF adaptation of the Batman TC was made purely for deathmatch, & a fast-fragging deathmatch at that. If you think the weapons are too powerful (& they are, IMO) for single play, then you are welcome to stay with the original Batman TC. But if you want some extremely fast DM action with the Deathbots, then look no further.

----------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

Unzip deathbot.bat into your dosdoom dir. Unzip everything else into a subdir of DosDoom called c:\dosdoom\batman. Deathbot.bat is also useful for any other maps & mods you may have. It just includes some of the basic deathmatch parameters, & allows you to add the -file, -ddf, & -warp parameters from the command line.

Usage:

deathbot -ddf batman -file batman\batbot.wad otherwads.zip

Then just invoke the "idbot" cheat code to spawn a bot.

You should also make sure that you have the "items respawn" turned on in the gameplay options menu.
