What is Doom Friends Companions Mod?

Doom Friends Companions Mod is a universal addon for Doom 2 that replaces invisibility powerups (blurspheres) with carryable beacons. These beacons can spawn friendly marines, bots, or dogs to help you in combat, making your gameplay more dynamic and engaging.

What is it for?

This mod is perfect for players who want to add a cooperative element to their Doom 2 experience. The companions are designed to follow you almost everywhere, teleport next to you if you go too far, and never cause friendly fire. They are actually helpful in combat, thanks to upgraded health and damage output.

How to Use It In-Game

You can either summon these companions using console commands or find Teleport Beacons that replace the Invisibility Spheres (blurspheres). Make sure you have bound keys for selecting and using inventory items in your configurations.

  • Summon FriendMarine1: Summons a regular Doom Marine.
  • Summon FriendMarine2: Summons an unturned Zombieman.
  • Summon FriendMarine3: Summons a female Doom Marine.
  • Summon FriendMarine4: Summons an unturned Shotgunguy.
  • Summon FriendMarine5: Summons an unturned Chaingunguy.
  • Summon Sentrybot: Summons a Sentry Bot like the one in Doom 3 with dual plasma guns.
  • Summon FriendDog: Summons a German Shepherd (similar to the MBF Dog).
  • Summon BrutalFriendTeleportBeacon: Get a beacon that randomly summons one of the above.

Easter Eggs

These can't be regularly summoned by the teleport beacons and can only be summoned with console commands:

  • Summon FriendDaisy: Summons Daisy (The Rabbit that is shown dead on a stake at the end of Doom 1).
  • Summon FriendHissy: Summons a baby cacodemon.

Additional Notes

  • The companions will only follow you on the map you summon them on and will leave you behind on level exit. Save the summon beacons for tougher levels and situations when you really need their help.
  • Running this mod with Brutal Doom will give the bots the ability to recognize big threats such as Cyberdemons, Masterminds, and Barons of Hell, and never get close to them.
  • The error messages that show up on loading are just compatibility issues with Brutal Doom and mean no harm.

In my experience trying this, the beacons seem to bring in the sentrybot and the dog 90% of the time

Luck.
In the code, they all have an equal spawn chance:

    DropItem "FriendMarine1"

    DropItem "FriendMarine2"

    DropItem "FriendMarine3"

    DropItem "FriendMarine4"

    DropItem "FriendMarine5"
