/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm two maps into Eternal DOOM and I'm already fatigued. I don't play more than a few maps per day anyway but I don't know how much I'd enjoy 32 maps of this just due to the maps already being large and the switches already being kind of hard to find (and I know that'll get get Hexen-tier by the end). Someone encourage me please.

I decided to keep playing Obituary despite hating the rocket launcher zombies, and I have to say their "Hightech Guy" custom monster is actually neat. Nearly invisible, extremely fast, doesn't do a ton of damage but it's hitscan and a decent RoF, while also being about as frail as a zombieman and making constant noise while moving so you know when one is near (unless they just became alert and get the jump on you). Overall I approve of the enemy and think it adds something to DOOM's bestiary, though I don't know if I'd want it in every wad.

Don't worry about it, anon, this crap has been going on for nearly a decade at this point. It'll continue to be the face of Doom modding in the eyes of normalfags and game journalists whether we like it or not.

You'll eventually hit a point where you stop caring and stop worrying about that and just focus on all of the other really, really good content that's been made for Doom over the years and continues to be made.

Stupid question: I'm currently going through the directories of my computer in DOSBox and I've come to my zDoom folder (zdoom-2.8.1).
Funny thing is: it's displayed directory name is longer than eight characters; the tab auto-complete gives the full name (cd zdoom-2.8.1), to which DOSBox promptly tells me to shorten it; and it won't accept the shortened name (cd zdoom-~1).
I don't know how to proceed.

what's a good jewtube playlist with relaxing music for mapping lads?

I can't webm correctly but this looks amazing with the PSX Doom levelset.

i've always wanted the crispy feel of other ports like Crispy/Choc but without losing the flexibility of GZdoom so this is amazing. Shaders are awesome. Great work anon!

I want to AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Make a Boom-compatible E1-themed Ultimate Doom map.

What do the other demons go?

I did test once in Z& software mode, but I missed the texture glitch you mentioned. Yes it's darker than I intended. Next time I map, I'll balance lighting for software not hardware.

I ruled out vanilla compatibility after a skeleton didn't teleport early in the map. The bug with the archviles sounds easier to fix in fact. How can I fix the texture glitch or should I just leave it to Term?

Sadist? No. The final room wasn't large enough for real sadism. That was Going Down loop around the escape routes lite when it was supposed to be Sunlust claustrophobia lite. The escape routes were added because I couldn't clear the revenant wave without them. Thanks to Mouldy for making me think of that.

The archviles and pillars were an idea cribbed from pol.wad and paired down to my lower mapping skill level. The end of Sunlust map30 was on my mind too with the more tightly-timed archvile battle in the center of the "God-Machine". I died there. A lot. It was awesome.

The lamp secret? Yeah. It also adds other dimensions to everything that happens in that area by giving an extra way to get around if you know it's there. If anything, the mobility is worth more than the beserk pack, even though the archvile that spawns with the SSG wave can and will follow you into the secret.

>God damn that would be great for system shock mod.
Precisely what I'm trying to achieve with it. Can be used for a lot of other things too I'd imagine.

Well what I have is an angle (x) and a pitch (y) vector that corresponds to the crosshair. The gun is a separate actor that warps along with the player, and currently I just change it's angle and pitch according to the aforementioned vector(s) whichj produces the webm you just saw.

Now, the hard part is accounting for player pitch. When you and thus the gun point straight up, changing the Angle of the gun (spinning the actor around) makes it roll around the veiwport rather than tilt side to side, like it does when the view is level. So thus the actor's Roll needs to be changed. But rolling something that points up in doom does the exact same thing as changing the angle. To overcome that, I tilt the actual model 90 degrees forward in modeldef and compensate by adding to the Pitch vector so it appears to point forward when it's in fact pointing up.
That means when it appears to point up, it in fact points backwards and is thus level with the floor and can be Rolled, which means pointing to the right or left of the screen.


What I need to do is something like this: When the player looks straight forward the gun's Roll is 0 and Angle is just the the unmodified crosshair Angle vector. But when looking straight up, the guns angle should be the same as the player's (so it stays at the bottom of the screen) and instead it's Roll is how far to the left or right on the screen it points. And everything in between needs to work smoothly. It's all quite confusing..

Been a while since I've been here. For you, /vr/.
