Kicking a crawling Zombieman or Shotgun Guy crashes GZDoom

Kicking a crawling Zombieman or Shotgun Guy (when their leg is shot off) crashes GZDoom. I'm serious. Not sure if it happens to others, but it does to me. I'm wondering why this happens.

Hold to use iron sights (instead of toggle)?

Hi there, kinda new to all this so I hope it's ok to ask this here.

I briefly tried out Brutal Doom before switching over to Project Brutality, and one of the features I liked from Brutal Doom was the fact that I could use the iron sights on a weapon by holding down alt-fire rather than using a toggle. When I discovered that Project Brutality uses a toggle for iron sights it really threw me off, and i'm having a lot of difficulty getting used to it.

Is it possible to use iron sights by holding down a button rather using a toggle? I tried looking in the options, but I couldn't find any way to change this. I've also noticed that if I do accidentally hold down alt-fire during Project Brutality (out of habit), the primary fire won't work.

Rocket Launcher Laser Seeking mode rocket stuck in air

Ever since version 3.7.0 of GZDoom something was changed and now when you shoot a rocket out of the rocket launcher while the laser seeking mode is activated the rocket freezes at the position you shot it out at. The rocket itself is still animated.
The bug is reproducible retrospectively in PB 2.03, latest public test, and this github version.
Is there anything you can do to fix this or is this something to be fixed by GZDoom devs?
EDIT: I have been informed on the GZDoom forum that some of the latest dev builds have addressed the underlying issue, making my ticket pointless, sorry for the spam.

Revolver weapon switch issue

As far as I know, this has been an issue since January test version. Basically have a "Revolver replaces pistol" option on, then try to switch to the revolver, and when attempting to switch to any other weapon, revolver becomes kinda "sticky" and won't allow it unless you start mashing weapon switch keys. It works fine otherwise without the option.

UDV voice pack?

I would like to submit a voice pack or two for UDV, can I get a list of all possible options to record lines for? Sorry if posting this here isn't wanted, just didn't really know where else to post for something like this.

Feature suggestions

• For laser guided rocket launcher mode - Make rocket explode when using secondary fire? Rockets move slowly and you're kinda stuck controlling it if you want to make use of it. Exploding it prematurely would allow you to at least get something from it and quickly react to the situation.
• Some kind of secondary fire for nailgun if it's not planned/not already there. Maybe scope mode with homing nails like in Quake 4? Or exploding nails? Might be too powerful, so maybe tie it to a separate weapon upgrade?
• A new config menu where you can set weapon swap priorities aka swap order. So you can customize which weapons you want first when pressing certain weapon switch buttons. I know there are weapon wheel mods, but they're not sophisticated enough (read: ugly) and require a new game. Or otherwise have a built-in weapon wheel, that would be very cool.
• This one is probably controversial, but what about making demon powerups (quad damage, haste, time stop, etc) an inventory pick ups instead of instantly activating them, so you could pick them up and activate whenever? They're pretty rare and very often than not they either get wasted because you already killed everyone or they drop in a very awkward spot so you have no other choice but to pick it up. Quake 2 allowed you to pick up power ups and it worked fine there, and I do realize it's much slower than Doom.
  Or at least apply that to transformation pick ups (revenant, baron) only, it's really annoying to get transformed against your will in the middle of a big fight just because you happened to walk on a dropped power up as you strafe. Definitely should be tied to a config cvar.
• From the balance perspective, excavator feels super overpowered and basically replaces rocket launcher in most cases. Not sure how to address it because I like the gun and some ridiculous enemies kinda require this exact type of a weapon.

Performance

Using melee causes you to frequently get stuck

At least that's what I think is going on. If you kill enemies with punch and kick combos (and not weapons or sharp weapons) it's possible to permanently get stuck in one spot. Doesn't happen when not fighting enemies so I know it has something to do with corpses. Happens at least 80% of the time if you fight unarmed in close quarters. Try punching pinkie demons with your back against a corner with a very low ceiling above.

Small pickup sprites.

Not sure if this is just my computer, but the pickup sprites for things such as the shotgun are small.

SGG dual wield magazine bug

When dual wielding the sawn-off, You're able to fire one round out of the right sawn-off and fire one round out of the left sawn-off then fire boths barrels with the left hand sawn-off.

Certain key bindings not saved

when playing solo I dont' want to accidentally hit the taunt or the rolling. I go into the in-game menu, hit backspace for all the taunt and rolling options so they are blank. Return to game, restart and they are back to defaults. I can't find any other settings that are not saved correctly.

shotgun reload and BDv21 weapon sprites and traditional weapon sprites.

Someone already mentioned the shotgun reload problem. but basically, when you reload, the shotgun throws away all shells. this is a bit personal preference, but for the BDv21 mode, can you just put the original sprites from BDv21? I really don't like the new sprites for BDv21 mode. and another thing is the traditional mode sprites. I also don't like the sprites for that either due to it not feeling like the original doom sprites. can you simply just use the purist mode weapon sprites from BDv21?

Pistol stuck loop: Unload clip @ 0 ammo

When pistol hits 0 ammo (silenced or normal) and you unload clip, pistol hits a loop bug that prevents you from using any other weapon. Sound clip of an empty trigger loops through this bug as well.

Rip and Tear! Holding enemy head loop bug

When using rip & tear while enraged with bare hands, the fatality sneak attack on enemy marine (tested against shotgun enemy only so far) presents a bug where holding enemy head for throwing keeps loop-switching against bare hand sprite and head holding sprite. Head throwing does work and stops the loop bug.

Shotgun reloading

All shotgun ammo empties after reloading standard shotgun

title screen on widescreen

this is a suggestion - because it works as is... see the screenshot. The embers fly all the way across the screen and it looks fantastic. A minor suggestion, use a background image that uses the same color as the areas without the bitmap. It would look like widescreen greatness. Not going to gush on github, but PB is fantastic.

Glory kills?

are you guys going to add BD: black edition glory kills system? I think that is the only thing keeping this mod away from perfection: glory kills. If you guys add the Black edition glory kills, This mod would be the greatest there was and ever will be. If you guys do add glory kills, I would love it!

Can't reload cryo rifle using reload button when empty

As the title states, in both fire mods if you get the ammo down to 0 and then press GZDoom's reload button, the gun will not reload as it still uses BD's own reload bind.. You must press fire to get it to reload instead. Not sure how many other guns have a similar issue. Will check.

Activate and Toggle Equipment hotkeys do not function.

(Master Branch) Pressing them only pastes
P_StartScript: Unknown script "GrenadeHotkey"
and
P_StartScript: Unknown script "ProximityMineHotkey"
to the console. Leaving me unable to use my grenades.

PB multiplayer

set up local game - you get dropped from the game often. Regularly you will not be able to switch weapons until you restart the game/server. Key bindings regularly don't work. Sorry to be vague but I am willing to try fixes if any of this helps. Single player seems to be pretty close to done - but multiplayer is really unstable now.

Traditon fists glitch

Punched a shotgun guy on map02 with the traditional class and all my weapons disappeared.

Some bugs of the latest version, that I could find.

First of all, tell me where exactly the best thing is to send a report so that the developer reacts faster? And that is, there is a discord and something else, I do not know)

I will try to supplement the sheet from time to time, as long as it is relevant.

1 - Perhaps this is a trick, not a bug, but it looks funny. When the bodies hanging on the stake are destroyed by an explosion, they begin to rotate))
I think it should not be so.
Video - https://youtu.be/14F69Al1h_E

2 - After a long shooting from a minigun, its trunk turns red. If at this moment throw a grenade, a mine, the player let down weapon, and the red trace of the weapon remains.
Screen - https://wampi.ru/image/6u4zQdf

3 - When firing a rail gun in the aiming mode, I found that the ammo of her become infinite and even if I have 0 ammo in the mag, the weapon does not want to reload and continues to shoot.
The same does not apply to the second mode of microwave. there everything works correctly.

4 - About two double-barreled shotgun already mentioned earlier. Holding two double-barrel shotguns in hands, when i try to cling to the ledge, the weapon animation breaks.

5 - Finally, fix the invisible sprites for the grenade launcher, SMG, enhance the usual shotgun, which lie on the ground.

6 - If you complete the level with a nailgun in your hands, at the start of a new level, he will start playing the animation of changing the shooting mode.
This looks normal for SMG, but not for nailgun.

7 - When using the minigun with an improvement (triple barrel), pressing the right mouse button causes the trunks to spin. After that, if you change the weapon, the sound of the spining of the barrels will play for some time.

8 - There is another thing that is incomprehensible to me. Why is another sight displayed in the sight of an assault rifle ??
Screen - https://wampi.ru/image/6u4vTG0

9 - About the unloading of weapons:

• Not quite correct discharge animation for second rail gun shooting mode (microwave)
• Nailgun unloading does not work correctly
• Unloading improved automatic shotgun leads to a game crash (version GZdoom 3.6.0.0)

10 - Choosing a chainsaw and throwing it out, the sound of the included chainsaw will continue to play until the player changes the weapon.

And the last, trifle, but it looks ugly. Some weapons are cropped at the bottom, some are not. I think the gap in the sprites or their wrong setting. Can this also be fixed?

Couldn't shrink arachnotrons nor it's variants with the Caustic Hell Rifle

When I used the shrink ray on the arachnotrons, it did not shrink them but instead just penetrates into them and/or kill them if enough shrink rays are fired which inconsistent with the rest of the monsters.

Invisible weapons

Some weapons are invisible till you pick them up, the nail gun for example. If you drop it it's invisible again. Is it just me or happening to everybody?

Divide By Zero in Script 24008

Using UDV v2.12b. Everything meshes well, but when pulling out the pump shotgun, the ammo count and weapon list in the hud vanishes.

Plasma rifle: Unload clip bug

Unloading a clip with plasma rifle hides the gun and disables you from firing or switching to another. Weapon sprite disappears as well.

This bug wasn't previously there 2 versions ago.

Can't reload at least 80% of the weapons in stock PB

No matter what i've tried so far i simply can't get the reload binds to works on most of the weapons. Works fine in traditional and v21, but not the main gamemode. It's pretty annoying since I'm used to constantly manually reloading just to be safe for more action. Tried downgrading gzdoom and even tried manually binding "reloader" to keys but no avail.

Tried many releases that include new changes (aka master)

Manual Reload , Dual wield . Grenades Binds Bug-Brutal Doom v21 Class

-The weapons can't be manually reloaded , which means that the reload key or bind doesn't work
-Grenade key or bind doesn't work/function
-Dual Wield key doesn't work/function

These happen on the Brutal Doom v21 Class

Severe Performance Degradation

I'm experiencing an issue where PB causes extreme stuttering / fps loss, but only on certain megawads. Performance is normal when first starting a map, but over time a stuttering / fps drop appears. This stuttering / fps drop gets continually worse over time, and within about 2 minutes of entering the map it becomes an unplayable slideshow.

This issue doesn't occur with the vanilla Doom map sets, and I don't know enough about megawads to isolate what characteristic of the megawad triggers the issue. I've been able to reliably reproduce it using Eviternity RC1 (https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/103425-release-eviternity-rc1/) with the following setup:

Loader: ZDL
Source Port: GZDoom 3.7.1 Modern x64
OS: Windows 7 x64

WAD Load Order:

• Eviternity-RC1.wad
• ProjectBrutality.pk3 (latest master version, commit b659c13)

IWAD:

• doom2.wad

Project Brutality game mode, Brutal difficulty.

The issue will occur on MAP01. This issue does not occur with the PB 3.0 public test version from January 2018.

Broken unload on M1, M2, and Nailgun

When you unload the M1 Plasma, M2 Plasma or Nailgun, other weapons are no longer usable and can't be switched, forcing the player to restart.

Can't switch to upgraded pump shotgun

Once you pick up the pump shotgun upgrade (higher capacity) you can no longer switch to that weapon once you've switched away from it. The issue is not 100% consistent, but it only very rarely works.

Dropping or throwing barrels causing a crash. A_Lower called without valid caller. Weapon expected.
