argent
Argent (stylized "ARGENT") is a Classic Doom mod that brings the arsenal from id's 2016 DOOM reboot into the hands of the OG Doomguy. The goal is to create a faithful-yet-balanced recreation of the new game's weapons, with just enough aesthetic 'oomph' to not distract from the classic Doom gameplay style.
The mod is directly based on Neccronixis's excellent spritework, so major props to him for effectively authoring this mod. Code, secret sauce, and further sprite edits (pending) are by Xaser (me), with a few miscellaneous credits flying about -- see credits.txt for more details.
