APHRODITE
A downloadable mod
APHRODITE is a cyberpunk-themed Doom reskin, replacing all weapons/hud/player elements without altering the core gameplay.
Manufactured to civilian specs but with all the courage and gumption of her sister unit Echidna, Unit C-052 "Aphrodite" is ready for anything, especially if it involves guns and whiskey!
Her buddy Dick "Danger" Hardon, retired crime fighter and down-on-his-luck P.I, may not match up to the abilities of his chrome-plated cybernetic crush, but he'll be damned if he lets her hog all the action.
This mod will run in most sourceports (Nugget Doom, Crispy Doom, DSDA, Eternity, Zandronum etc)
and works especially well when paired with maps such as:
The incredible Auger;Zenith- https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/dbp37_augzen
or the atmospheric Diabolus Ex- https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/101473-gzdoom-diabolus-ex-v11/
AZ_Extra will replace some of Auger;Zenith's textures and sprites to better fit the weaponset.
Dick can be loaded alongside Aphrodite in most MBF-derived sourceports, and can be spawned ingame by summoning the "mbfhelperdog" class.
In Nugget Doom, he will spawn alongside the player if the mbfhelperdog setting is activated.
Skulltag's weapons are also supported, these can be used in Zandronum by loading skulltag_actors.pk3 from zandy's root folder.
Aphrodite can be used with the OHM_Dehacked file found here for fancier weapon functionality: https://skelegant.itch.io/one-hell-of-a-marine
and with Gorenuggets for that essential 80s OVA blood factor: https://skelegant.itch.io/gorenuggets

Install instructions
This mod requires Doom, Doom 2 or a similar iwad, run through almost any sourceport. I recommend Nugget Doom: https://github.com/MrAlaux/Nugget-Doom/releases
(There's a setting to allow a "mbfhlperdog" to spawn alongside the player, enable this if you're using the Dick Danger add-on)

Your mods are really cool, and funny, I am currently working on my own custom weapons mod and such with a protag specifically made for auger zenith, with his own guns, sprites etc. He's this cyborg bounty hunter who looks really menacing. Not sure when or if ever it will be complete tho, but it's cool that people still talk about this amazing megawad, Auger Zenith. In any event I wanted to ask you a question. So I open up slade sometimes and I like to get to know various wads using it, but with many of your mods the format is weird, like there are no folders and it's hard to find specific things, HOWEVER I found this really badass looking futuristic blaster with these awesome looking futuristic tubes on either side and wondered why I couldn't find this weapon in-game. I thought at first it may have been part of the AZ addons but nah, and also there's other "mystery weapons" as I shall call them too! Like duel SMGs, a souped up BFG type gun (and it looks even cooler and meaner than the regular BFG which is quite a feat) and yeah, are these unused weapons and are there any plans for them? The energy pistol looked the coolest of them all though. Looks badass. I hope it shoots plasma lol
Ah, those are for Skulltag's weapons! You can either grab that sourceport and use em that way, or if you have Zandronum you could load skulltag_actors.wad to get em.
That cyborg dude of yours sounds cool, I hope you do end up completing the mod!
LOL thanks Skelegant! I'm an absolute dogwater artist though, so far I'm just programming all the different nuances of how the guns work and such but I'm a noob. I gotta say you're a hell of a gal LOL I was curious, are all your different characters part of the same overarching plot/universe? And who would you say is the toughest OC of yours in a fight?
I like to think they exist in the same shared universe as other doom mod characters. Pvt Stone's custom level has guest appearances from Magwell and Eraserguy, there's a painting of Typhon on the wall as well as an ad for Dick Danger and DRLA water. The Artificer from Combined_Arms even shows up too, if you're quick enough to find him.
As for who would win in a fight, I'd say whoever the player is controlling lol
That's really cool! Like a neat little shared universe between fan made characters. I always imagined there was a shared universe between many of the doomerboard projects like TNT, Plutonia, BTSX, JPCP, Auger Zenith and all the mods you mentioned plus many others. Glad I'm not the only one who thought about this type of thing. Imagine if they all take place in the same universe, lol.
Btw, do you have discord or something? Just curious.
The way I see it, doom modding is all about the freedom to tailor the gaming experience to one's own liking, and thinking about which doom mod characters would get along with each other can be a great expression of that freedom!
On the topic of doom mod characters, if you haven't played LossForWords' mods yet I strongly recommend them. He's got some fantastic characters goin on, as well as some fantastic weapon mechanics, and if you're keen on the ol DBPs I know at least 3 of his weaponsets fit certain DBP themes to a T. https://lossforwords-atmo69.itch.io/
