YES
Finally got the music pack to reupload. The only new thing is that Caverns uses a short track from Stargunner.
New Silliness
I have decided to start posting "bounties" on people in the forum. The first to collect a bounty gets a prize. Full details are in the forum, and the only way to cash in is to post in the forum thread itself. The thread topic in the IRC channel will also denote if a bounty is in progress.

To the obtuse person that Thetis said was in the Supergod server:
Spider Masterminds use 250 speed fastprojectiles, as do all other "hitscan" units.
That is all.
That is all.

ZDWars 3.1 preview
ZDWars 3.1 is going to do some neat things. Nothing earth shaking. There won't be a version on par with 2.9 in a long while, but 3.1 is a step towards perfecting 2.9, so that's cool. Anyway, some of the highlights:
-All Hero and Elite (cost more than a Hell Knight) units will have a health bar floating over their heads for all to see.
-All summoners will now not be switched to when unlocked, and non-basic units will not auto-fire if the button is held. Tap to spam these guys. This protects against accidentally spawning two barons of hell or what not.
-Doom's middle tech tree branch will take less units to progress through.
-Swamp Stalkers are getting a combat buff.
-Order Turrets are getting nerfed, and will no longer be able to hit ghosts.
-Flem spores should finally work correctly.
-Virus turrets getting nerfed, spreadshot turrets getting buffed.
There are also other things that have only been revealed in the IRC channel, because those people are SPECIAL.

Someone must be crucified
Today, a certain someone ran an LMS server with the following wads:-ZDWars
-Doom Urban Real Guns Advanced +4 Gold Edition Mark 4 Aleph 19.2456443 or something
-Hell Revealed 2
-GvH
I assume he somehow thinks this is funny, or fun, or something else that starts with the letter F. A couple minor people, two from the Iron Lich clan, were in the server with him, apparently (and I say this in horror) enjoying the absolute cluster he had constructed.
Now, he's been running ZDWars coop with some map packs in the past, and that's cool. It technically works and such. However, I do believe this crosses a line. He's on the forum, he's in the IRC channel. I'm guessing he's doing this in part to make me face palm or something, but really, this in particular is actually kind of offensive, and not just to me, but to anyone with decency and taste.
Hell Revealed is a map pack. It's just the kind of target for weapons mods like RGA. Those two being run together makes sense, though obviously does not appeal to all tastes. Voltlock or whoever he undoubtedly hoisted RGA on to is beyond all forms of offensiveness to begin with, so we need not discuss him here. Unless the RGA in the middle of the wad name is coincidental and the wad is something which I'm sure is ENTIRELY different and Voltlock isn't involved at all. Whatever, not the point.
Now, CutmanMike more than likely has a longer fuse than I do given the player base that surrounds GvH, and GvH has been hosted with retarded things before, but this is still just messed up. I don't imagine he'll make a statement, because he is notably more polite than I am and not so bothered by minor things.
Thusly, I would like to explain something: ZDoom Wars is not a weapons mod. It is not a level pack. It is a self-contained project which focuses on a specific type of gameplay which favors specially made maps, in a precise mode, and exact environment. I work on this wad because I really, really like it and what it does. What it does is provide a certain type of gameplay, which is not at all related to being mixed up with other things like a botched genetics experiment. If you want to play a complete cluster, go pick up an old version of EB Doom or something.
When you host a very custom wad with a retarded set of other things, it just says to the author that you have little respect for the effort they put into making the wad the way it is. It says that you have no regard for what they may look upon with pride. It's like using a Van Gogh as a table cloth (Roger Ebert be damned). It's disrespectful, and clearly tasteless.
I wouldn't be saying this if it wasn't for the fact that I actually communicate with the guy who hosted this on an almost daily basis, therefore I technically know him. If he was some random guy in Croatia, whatever. But the fact is, he isn't. So it's really more like going over to Van Gogh's house for dinner, and then pulling one of his paintings off the wall to use as a table cloth. Not that I'm comparing myself to Van Gogh as far as genius or anything, but I doubt many of you would understand a Buckminster Fuller/Geodesic Dome metaphor.
Though this message may apply to all those DBZone servers in which helmeted people drool on model-rip weapons or whatever, this really applies specifically to the guy who hosted this particular server.

Progress on 3.0
The big Three-Oh is comin' up. It's primarily going to work on the new units, but there is still a host of other changes to continue improving your ZDWars experience. Highlights so far:
-Flame Mancubus will deal 30% extra damage against basic units.
-Pods won't be so spammalicious.
-Order Turret price is going up to 12/5, and they won't be stackable. They may recieve another nerf on top of that.
-Slight adjustments to keep the Slime Carrier from being able to be abused.
-Slime Meteor improvements.
The rest is all even more minor, really. There will also be some minor map adjustments and fixes. This version isn't anything special, but it will iron out the big issues with the new units and continue to fix up the gameplay.
