I guess introductions are in order. In the Doom community as well as
around the internet, I'm known as Pilottobombadier, except in gaming, where I am known as Iron_Knight. I have spent a lot of my time working on personal projects with DooM, mostly Dehacked stuff, although I've never released any of my Dehacked work to the public except for my add-on Firepower, which was recently released via Bigbadgansta's Doom Page, and will soon be up on this page as well.What is Lock and Load!? Lock and Load! is a weapons, and soon to be weapons
and creatures add-on for all three DooMs that requires the EDGE 1.24 sourceport. I would code it in 1.27, if I could get it to work on a decent framerate, but I can't...3dfx and OpenGL don't work very well together... There are 17 weapons (which will be changed as soon as I get my computer back), most of them very futuristic, although there are a select few that are not. Also, most of the weapons are very powerful. It just adds to the fun. There is a textfile on this page that will give more details as to what I have planned. And E-mail about what you want to see in the community Lock and Load!!!!!News

Well, I have been doing some work this weekend on Lock and Load. Nothing I'm going to tell you, besides adding a new weapon and removing a few old ones. Oh, and I'll tell you what I've got planned.
The new weapon is a laser rifle (the sniping kind). I just have process the graphics and it's all good. The chosen graphics are Stephen Browning's Rail Gun combined with the laser beam from Browning's Moonraker, as well. And as I've said earlier, there are also some weapon upgrades.
Other planned things are enemies, and not just bullet food. There will also be vehicles as well. The only difference is that vehicles have immense amounts of health (and you will be properly accommodated to deal with them, worry not) and infantry will be week enough to pose a challenge for you, but make it so your main weapons are strong enough only to deal with them. Hopefully I said that right…what a mouthful.
The only person right now that knows pretty much entirely what I've got planned as well as my progress is my beta tester, who I will not expose simply because he doesn't need to be harassed by whatever following I have. I know exactly what it feels like to be harassed about it, because he's the one that harasses me…the bastard.
What I will tell you is that nearly all of the enemy weapon graphics have been selected, and that all but one weapon graphic set has been selected and put into the compilation.
