what mod even does
so this is an attempt to redesign the gameplay and also do whatever comes to my head along the way.
almost all the fights were reworked or at least modified and weapon progression is faster.
Weapons were rebalanced. Enemies got changed parameters as well. for example T-mech major now always take 5 rockets to die, unlike vanilla serious sam 2 where depending on difficulty it takes 4 or 6 rockets. and just other stuff that made sense to me.

Most of the invisible walls were removed, feel free to fall out of the level if you want so!
Also some visual changes like new particles and water which doesn't feel like it's glued to screen.
On serious difficulty enemies now have normal amount of hp.
Old blue Interface restored!
Also strafe jump now exists...
some random stuff like new vechicles, secrets that are not marked as secrets, enemy riding, new CRATE physics idk, i was just doing something?

Intro video, i dont know what that is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymsOa72Jq1U

also warning! i'm really sorry but it seems that part of cutscenes (well, videos) just do not play most of the times, almost all end of level videos are not working, so only play this if you would skip them anyway, maybe i'll fix it in the future.

and level descriptions in netricsa are missing and estimated time for levels is missing. but that is not that big of a deal i guess. but i just want to tell about known issues.
Optional changes!
In default version of mod some enemies(Orc Footballers, rhinos and kamikazes) were mostly replaced with Cucurbitos, Werebulls from next encounter and kamikazes from serious sam xbox,
if you want all the original ss2 enemies, use optional files (more about it in "Installation")
Also informing you that cucurbitos, kamikazes and werebulls animations were stolen from classic enemies pack by SilverRenvoo https://www.serioussite.ru/load/pak_klassicheskij_vragov_ultimate/15-1-0-2988

i still think it would be neat to be able to use those akimbo powerups throughout the game for players (like myself) who find being able to dual wield at anytime to be a difficulty breaker, especially since alot of these encounters are much less sloggy and more balanced.

could also make for a good addition for levels that dont feature serious damages like m'keke village, the swamp levels, branchester, boneyard and few others

without any of the additional .gro files they're just called their regular SS2 names
steak jacobs 30 Jul, 2024 @ 12:08pm 
I did notice that if you have any of the optional .gro files installed it does change weapon names like the "flamer" gets called "sawblade launcher", "grenade launcher" gets called "MK4 Grenade Launcher", and so on

yeah shure

steak jacobs, that circular saw gun is called flamer because it replaces the flamethrower that was added for mappers in version 2.090. also that is wierd how lizard riding dont work properly anymore, it worked before:steamsalty:

The dual wielding powerup doesn't work for me, was playing without sprinting or dual wielding enabled

Also can I friend you? I have some stuff I want to share about the mod if that's alright
Pickurt  [author] 30 Jul, 2024 @ 11:07am 
nah i think thats probably the only one, i didnt put a lot dual wielding powerups because game anyway has dual wielding option now
LiL blade 30 Jul, 2024 @ 10:52am 
hell yeah, the beam gun is alot more fun now. i noticed in ursul suburbs that theres a dual wield powerup in a crate and im wondering if theres any more of them in the other levels?
