Should these things be allowed? Some are fairly simple to implement.
Quicksave: Alias in the wolf.cfg Infinite stamina: seta g_infiniteStamina "1" Flamethrower: seta g_unlockedFlameDLC "1"
FOV and head bobbing require a bit more of changes but from all the changes they're the ones that less impact gameplay mechanics.
I'm not a runner nor mod of this game, but here's my 2 cents:
Quicksave: I think that's okay. It's just a bind command.
Infinite stamina: Seems like a cheat to me: www.ign.com/wikis/wolfenstein/PC_Cheats Doom 3 has similar commands that allows you to change movement speed and it's listed under cheat codes on Doomwiki: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Doom_3_cheat_codes
Flamethrower: It seems to be a DLC with a really strange activation, but can't see anything wrong with it.
FOV: Unless the fix was oficially released, I wouldn't allow it. Same for head bobbing.
Here's the source page in case mods want to take a look at it: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Wolfenstein#Patches
I agree with you entirely. Quick save could be good for single segment runs, but the other stuff is too impactfful and too close to cheating.
FOV, that would probably be fine.
Headbobbing though, I feel like that would change the feel of the game too much since the animations for walking, running, jumping, etc are all so unique I think it would be wrong to allow it. Unless some official or real legit patch comes out. Which probably wont ever happen.
Totally down with using the quicksave bind though.
There are many skips that can be done with quicksaves, I have yet to upload my 1:08 run but I've done it using FOV and headbobbing modification and I don't plan to play this game in the original way because it makes me dizzy, but I understand, I'm skeptical to allow that even though it doesn't change the game mechanics..
Damn, i'd love to see a run like that. We could make a new category for mods/glitches/etc. If you've got a sick run feel free to submit it or contact me further and we can totally get that going. I'm not totally opposed to your changes, as long as they are in an appropriate category. Hit me up man.
