Title:	Cold Hard Cash
Filename:	combos/ww-cash.zip
Size:	2.24 MB
Date:	10/06/05
Author:	WildWeasel
Description:	The sound of jangling change being deposited into a machine. The dull rumble of your prize dispensing itself into the retrieval chute.
Credits:	. And it's all worth it.
Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	A month
Editor(s) used:	XWE, Paint Shop Pro 9, Adobe Audition 1.5, NoteTab Pro
Bugs:	Attempting to purchase an item without first meeting the requirements for it (for example: upgrades) still displays the error message, but when you can meet the requirements, the item is sent directly to your inventory. There may be other purchase-related bugs, but I am unable to fix them because RTS probably wasn't designed for something of this large a scale.

Description             : The sound of jangling change being deposited into a machine. The dull rumble of your prize dispensing itself into the retrieval chute.

The punctuating click of the hammer.

You've bought and paid for your favorite brand of magnum revolver. Regardless of who previously owned it, who manufactured it before you surrendered your pocket money to take it off their hands, it is now Your Property. Not the property of Hell's mindless multitudes, and not some poor Marine's discarded weaponry. Yours.

You shelled out the 90 credits to buy the thing. And it's all worth it.

Known Bugs              : Attempting to purchase an item without first meeting
								  the requirements for it (for example: upgrades) still
								  displays the error message, but when you can meet the
								  requirements, the item is sent directly to your inventory.
								  There may be other purchase-related bugs, but I am unable
								  to fix them because RTS probably wasn't designed for
								  something of this large a scale.
Bugs That Were Fixed		: Dispenser terminals no longer refuse to function when
								  you land on top of them. Maps like Requiem Map08 are
								  no longer impossible to pistol-start.
New Features This Ver.	: Added a Chi Punch attack on Slot 0 that the player starts
								  with - it can be used to hit switches from a distance.
								  Also added an Initial Equipment menu where you can select
								  which weapon to start with (but it only appears on the
								  first level.
May Not Run With...     : Versions of EDGE earlier than 1.29 RC3.
								  This mod uses the start_map all feature in RTS, which
								  was not implemented until RC3.
								  Don't expect this to open in ZDoom, Doomsday, or the
								  like either.

mod. You can take my weapons too - just be sure to read my credits so you'll

uproar over "ripped" resources!

* Spend More Money *

This is no ordinary weapon mod. Instead of taking discarded and stolen weapons, you must buy your weapons. You do so by taking the money around the levels, and mugging the various hellspawn for their lunch money (after all, even in Hell there is a need for money, the root of all evil).

Everywhere there used to be a weapon in your favorite Doom level, there is now a dispenser terminal about half your size. Walk up to it and press Use to activate it, and a menu will appear. Just press the number key that corresponds to your purchase, and the terminal will take your money and dispense your order. If you don't have enough money, the item will be put on reserve for you and it will be transported to your inventory the moment you have enough money. (So don't push the purchase button unless you mean it!) Each terminal (or SupplyBot) supplies a different inventory - a set of weapons, different stocks of ammo, and a unique BargainBin item for each terminal (Hell's Terminal does not have a BargainBin).

Note that some energy weapons, like the Photon Pistol and Rotary Plasma Cannon, run on a nonrechargeable battery and you must purchase another one of the same weapon to use it again.

SupplyBot Lv.1: Melee Weapons and Most Common Ammo Types (replaces Chainsaw)
Lv.2: Pistols, pistol ammo (replaces Shotgun)
Lv.3: Rifle-type weapons and shotguns (replaces Super Shotgun)
Lv.4: Machine guns and squad support weaponry (replaces Chaingun)
Lv.5: Explosive weapons (replaces Rocket Launcher)
Lv.6: Energy weapons (replaces Plasma Gun)
Lv.7: Experimental and Highly Destructive weapons (replaces BFG)
Lv.?: Hell's Terminal (replaces Soul Sphere)

Special Thanks
--------------
Chronoteeth - For referring to me as "a god", "surpassing Cory Whittle" and several other things. I am honored to be regarded this highly.
TheDarkArchon - For endless programming support for both ZDoom and EDGE.
Darkknight and Ajapted - For helping me with the purchase script, and releasing a version of EDGE with a new feature that helped get rid of a lot of headaches
Xaser - For being the real innovator in the weapon mod community. Decorate monsters dropping weapons? DEHSUPP? Decorate weapons? He did 'em all first.
Snarboo - For being just plain cool.
Nmn and Grubber - For giving me web space and hosting for my site.
