TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

Hey, I'm wanting to make a retro FPS based on IdTech2, what's the best open source sourceport to start from in your opinions?

I'm not wanting something with GZdoom level options, I just want something lightweight that'll run smooth on modern hardware

Extra progress on the HDoom mancubus map, it's almost finished!

>>10000834
FTE or Darkplaces would probably be your best bet.

>>10000831
>greek archvile wants head

Who did death match areas inside single player maps better? REKKR or SIGIL, as Romero contends?

>>10000831

>>10000864
I've played Sigil's deathmatch maps and they're complete garbage. Three of them are almost identical copies to IWAD maps.

I've been playing a lot of Quake lately, and I think I've realized it's most fun when you only have these weapons. The super nailgun and rocket launcher give the player too much power and range, which lets mappers start doing stupid shit that's not as fun as close-quarters brawls with the grenade launcher and double shotgun. Lightning gun is also fine as a panic button, because cell pickups are so much smaller than nails, you have to really pick and choose when to pull it and when to settle for the regular nailgun or grenades. When you can just rip apart a Shambler in seconds with the SNG and then get 100 nails around the next corner to refill so the map can hit you with another two Shamblers and a Vore, those sorts of encounters just become busy work.

>>10000879
This guy fucks.

>>10000879
I prefer the super nailgun because it looks like a minigun. I always thought the lightning gun was lame as hell I find myself switching between rocket launcher, super nails and super shotgun most of the time.

>>10000831
>arthritis forever

>>10000864
SIGIL's are awful, aside the IWAD remakes, one of them is literally pic related

>>10000823
Here's my proposal for the menu logo considering we're going to use some bits of greek and japanese style I guess. I also re-used that broken heart picture from the old logo. Any feedback would be cool.

>>10000905
>megawad

>>10000818
>shaking out the last drop

>>9998835
Oh, no grudge on my part. I'll say I didn't deserve a LITTLE of the shit a few people have spouted, but in large part I have still earned MOST of the flak for how slow and quiet development has been.

Early June was me overestimating myself, again, and while I couldn't maybe outright promise late June (somewhere into July is likely), I am actually getting fairly close to done. Still cursing Doom's palette, but also still dealing with it.

>>10000485
I understand that it's supposed to be close, but MBF21 still has a lot of that DeHacked baggage, and there's some ideas which were nixed early on because they're not doable, or not easily. I've mostly put off doing any of that myself to focus on the other parts.
I've found myself banging my head against the wall for a few things which I could have learned to do by myself, such as MIDI, but the fact that I've focused on graphics, sound, and UDB for all this time, and that I've gradually improved my work and its flow, is probably why I've even gotten this far now.

I'll probably futz around a bit with stuff like DecoHack and MIDI after all of this is finally over. Maybe slightly hesitant about DecoHack itself, as I've seen vague mumbles by various people about implementing some sort of low level, demo compatible form of Decorate proper for whatever is going to follow MBF21 some day, but who knows when or if that'll be.

>>10000918
Unbelievably fucking good looking.

>>10000879
Quake's weapons are just kind of shit honestly. The axe has no weight and is nearly useless, the regular shotgun is a complete joke vs half the enemy roster unless it has quad, the regular nailgun is literally useless after finding SN, etc. You play Quake for the atmosphere and level design. The weapons are probably the worst thing about it, and even the ones that are effective still feel kind of limp and soggy to use.

>>10000831
>brutal difficulty needed

>>10000927
This guy doesn't know shit about video games.

I think Quake's shotguns are fine, and I love the Super Nailgun and Rocket Launcher, they're the most fun. Axe is dogshit though, they should have mirrored Doom with how you could find a level-lasting powerup which makes it more powerful or something, or maybe let you use it to dispose of downed zombies.

>>10000927
>the regular shotgun is a complete joke

shotgun is useful if you dont want to waste ammo finishing off enemies or takeing them down from afar.

>>10000918
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH amazing.

>>10000935
Drake actually has that in the form of the berserker helm. It ups your melee damage and regenerates hp on every hit. Couple this with the chainsaw and it's fun as fuck.

>>10000932
This guy has sex with his own ass

>>10000935
I don't get the whole thing of the axe killing zombies that AD seemed to start. The whole gimmick is that they can only be killed with explosions, so there's at least some risk in dispatching them if you aren't keeping distance. Letting them die from the starter melee weapon makes them less of a threat than they already are, and walking around chopping harmless, sleeping corpses in the multiple AD maps that do it is boring.

>>10000904
The axe could use some love and the ng/sng dynamic can be weird, but I otherwise think the weapon roster has a nice balance. My own issue is the super nail gun feeling more satisfying to use than the lightning gun, and it could be my least favorite "90s idsoft super weapon".

>>10000870
I was wondering why voxel doom feels so chonky if it's just recreations of the sprites and >>9996107 might be the culprit

>>10000949
The lightning gun doesn't really do much to stand out from the SNG anyway. It's stronger and has a shorter range, and there's the funny underwater trick, that's about it. I like how Copper tries making it like the BFG, in that its "full potential" is unlocked with good positioning, letting you combo damage through multiple enemies.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or is of interest, probed the exe for the new ROTT demo, they added some new cheats to this release
>\demi, mrbuddha: Demigod mode, player can't go below 1HP.
>\ole, eggcide: Oscuro Lays Eggs! Destroy all eggs in a level.
>\net, netme: Get caught in a net.
>\stab, knifeme: Give yourself a knife.
>\clip, spispopd: "No Clipping" mode.
>\iiam, pinkflyer: "No Target" mode.

And some new command-line args, though they're more or less blocked off in the demo release.
>-skipmovies: Skip Movies
>-connect <room_code>: Connect to an online lobby by room code.
>-host: Host an online lobby.
>-connectLAN <address>, Connect to a LAN game by address.

>-filertc: Load an RTC battle levelset on boot.

You can also load SF2/WOPL/OP2 files by using the following console command, looks like either SF2 isn't fully implemented or the file they have doesn't work. There's four of them in the KPF file.
>opl_pathfile

Finally, you can patch a few bytes in the main exe and it'll load a full game file containing the rest of the game's levels, doesn't fully work but you can load levels as well as a changelog compiled into the executable.

Can someone explain the difference (if there really is one) between "mods" and "maps"?
Multiple places (including DoomRunner, which is pretty dope now that I have things mostly set up how I want them) make this distinction but it seems like most (all?) sourceports don't. It's basically just "give me the iwad and then give me X number of additional wads/pk3s/etc. using the -file flag".

>>10000960
Whoops, meant "opl_patchset" not "opl_pathfile"

>>10000961
Generally, maps don't change the gameplay while mods do. Although they're usually used interchangeably. There are also lots of mapsets that make gameplay changes but are packaged in with their maps and aren't something you can readily use on its own.

>>10000921
No one really believes your
>just two more weeks guys trust me
bullshit anymore so at this point mentioning deadlines is a giant waste of time. It seems that you're allergic to the concept of deadlines anyway. Just deliver eventually without pressuring yourself with a deadline, as no one is going to believe it to begin with. Alternatively, which is what should have happened by now, be a fucking man and know when to quit. There's no shame in admitting you are not fit to do something or that your ambitions were too big. I've been there myself. The shame lies entirely in constantly bullshitting yourself and blueballing others for months. Instead of self-deprecating and whining about muh flak and how you deserve it, how about you stop being a faggot and get your shit together for once? Maybe work on that next after this project once it's out. I'm not even remotely interested in the project itself, but I've been observing the whole debacle for a while now as a lurker, and I can say I have no fucking idea how anyone could have a non-zero amount of respect for you when you have no respect for others or yourself apparently. Conveniently add this post to the list of shit you didn't deserve, or grow a fucking spine and take the time to reflect on it. The choice is yours.

>>10000918
This is really cool, and combines both themes discussed here perfectly. I do miss the overly colourful palette, but this is a good trade-off. You are missing the の character which was coloured yellow on the previous version tho.
Also, unless someone has a TITLEPIC and other graphics resources ready, I guess we are going with the Japanese/Greek Waifu theme.

>>10000840
damn, you'll have two maps done by the time I even post a playable version of mine.

>>10000971
A lot of the ones that do, fall somewhere in the region of being a partial conversion,

>>10000996
Just as an example, I wouldn't count any of Skillsaw's wads as partial conversions.

>>10000831

>>10000990

is there a way to bind a key to toggling full mouselook in gzdoom instead of having to hold down a key while you do it?

>>10000993
>You are missing the の character which was coloured yellow on the previous version tho.
No biggie, I can fix that later. I used some anon's .psd from the last thread as a basis which it didn't came out with that character at all.

Is pandora's box supposed to kill everyone on the map? i barely killed 200 enemies out of 900 and after triggering the box all i was finding was corpses

>>10001026
Yeah. Completely intentional. I may have to add a flag to only do that for resurrected enemies instead of all of them.

>>10001015
Weak argument, but I see your point.

>>10000918
looks like something straight from an arcade game which is cool, good job

>>10001026
>>10001046
Weird. I'd never actually noticed that before. But I've only been though two Boxes.

>>10001067
I added it so you don't have to go through the effort of cleaning up the map after a huge fight, but I didn't consider the box getting deposited to the fuck all dimension early on. I always open it last after I've figured out a good place on the map to fortify in preparation. Gonna have to take a look at this later.

>>10000990
I wouldn't have even been upset if there was some transparency and proof of the thing actually being worked on. As of now we know of a plasma gun sprite and final boss enemy, and that's it. Just words.

I've been told for a long time this game was bad but I enjoyed it and I like the humor. Do I just have shit taste?

>>10001081
I remember playing and enjoying it years ago. My only problem with it are the horrible levels and graphics.

>>10001081
A lot of that seems to be people sourcing opinions from youtubers.

It wasn't exactly a great game, it had a fucking lot wrong with it, but it was still passable enough to play and have some fun with it.

>>10000927
This fucking guy.
>>10000879
I think the super nailgun and rocket launchers should be used for climactic encounters, otherwise I agree completely. I also agree with somebody else that id should have included a berserker pack type item, but I love using the axe to style on near death enemies. Quake, with the right level design and enemy placements, hits a really fantastic rhythm of gameplay that surpasses Doom at times.

But in terms of custom maps, the more I play them, the more I realize that most of the Quake community old and new seem very preoccupied with making really easy maps. You can find SHITLOADS of challenging megawads out there, but Quake only has Warpspasm, Something Wicked, Ter Shibboleth, maybe four others because people just want to make pretty maps with unchallenging gameplay. /rant

>>10000831
>another almost updated finally

>>10001081
LithTech 1 is a dog to get running properly on modern systems, and Blood 2 is the weakest LT1 game, but Monolith were still competent enough developers to get something OK out despite their crunch and rush.

Did you play on easy? If so that probably helped
The harder difficulties make it waaaaaay worse than it needs to be

That's on Talon rather than 1, isn't it?

>>10001157
Nah, it was on 1.5.

>>10001108
I did it on suicide mode. But yeah the enemies have annoyingly preternatural reaction speeds and aiming skill. But at least they don't rip half your health out in one hit like cultists. To be honest the worst thing is how overly dark the levels are, it's either 'dark' or 'washed out'. They put a flashlight powerup item in but honestly they should have just made it permanent

First stairs I've ever created and I think they look good

Didn't they already have 32 maps? Wouldn't be a problem with UMAPINFO, but it's Boom, right?

>>10001187
I'm seeing contradictory reports, Wikipedia says 1.5 but PCGW says Talon. Doesn't matter, I ain't reinstalling that piece of shit to check.

>>10001314
In order: no, no, yes

>>10001314
I counted 29 maps but I'm bad at counting

>>10001128
Blood 2 gets extra points for being a particularly bad sequel to a good game, in addition to being trash in a vacuum.

>>10001314
UMAPINFO isn't tied to MBF21, it was just introduced at the same time, so if you demand MBF21 it's guaranteed to be supported. But it works on any format.

>>10000000
there's no digits on /vr/ right?

>>10001253
They look good, but turning the corner will be awkward with that corner bulging out.

>>10001253
You are probably better off not using texture with strong borders or add extra sector looking like something else to the side.

>>10001465
Even with that criterion in play M&M9 would still "win" for taking a successful RPG series and piledriving it into the grave.

>>10000927
Debunked, sweaty.
https://danboland.net/2021/08/21/are-quakes-weapons-weak.html
Compared to Doom, Quake weapons generally have lower TTK but greater ammo consumption.

That said, most id shotguns feel good to use. Doom's shotguns fire slowly but have great animations and sounds. Firing Quake 1's shotguns are as satisfying as firing the auto shotgun from CS. Quake 3's shotgun is straightforward and well rounded, 100 damage per shot, 1 shot per second. Even Doom 3's shotgun would be almost as good if not for the ridiculous spread.

>>10001091
>Quake, with the right level design and enemy placements, hits a really fantastic rhythm of gameplay that surpasses Doom at times.
I find that the instant weapon switch, weapons all having a high firing rate, and the less floaty movement play a huge part in this. Doom is also fun but the sluggishness of certain things like the floaty movement, and the rocket launcher's firing delay and autoaim can be mildly frustrating sometimes.

>>10001547
Didn't just kill the series, it killed the company behind it too.

After that Ubisoft got their hands on it.

>>10001596
The company behind it would've died anyway even if M&Ms 9 was a success. They were having a really bad time even before that game, if memory serves me right.

>>10000879
>>10000927
Upvoted.
IMO the common mods that add/modify the weapons are almost always more fun than the default roster.

>>10000947
Zombies in a large group still pose some risk with the axe, since you're up close. I agree it's pretty weak, if the axe was slower and the zombies moved quicker i think that would work better in AD - more risk of getting swarmed.

>>10001605

Is the archie the only monster that has an attack with all 8 sprite rotations?

>>10001678
No, but it's only for big monsters like the Cyberdemon.

>>10001678
I think most of those who swing arm around do, but I'm not going to check.
Arch-vile has extra frames due to resurrection.

>>10001678
Console and then frustrate yourself with how it mirrors its three walking frames in reverse to make a full walk cycle.

>>10000918
>>10001025
Man, I'm swept off, that was unexpected. I was having trouble putting の character anywhere in the open without the picture becoming too busy looking, that's how it ended up in the background with bright yellow color. Grammar anon also advised putting さ particle at the end, but ultimately I abstained from it in favor of visual composition. Besides, it plays on illiteracy that majority of pretentious wapanese have.

https://files.catbox.moe/4azddm.zip here is the latest point I was working on, nothing of much of use but it has cleaned up Pygmalion pic. If it's to be used somehow, I reckoned giving it additional flair in form of edits is warranted to bring it closer to project's theme. But in which way, that I haven't decided yet.

>>10000990
>I have no fucking idea how anyone could have a non-zero amount of respect for you
I could, he put a bold stroke in defining the character of 2048 units and Ad Mortem, so I know he's capable of putting his mind into something he loves and delivering on it. I could go as far as to say that 2048 would've been more of another unremarkable restriction-based project without the weapons, and WWII firearms are the single big connection Mortem has with culturally significant horror classics. As a matter of decency, this effort and dedication are at least worth acknowledging. No one spurred him into it or paid him, he hasn't made any possessive claims as I'm aware, and no one keeps any expectations for Protons outside this place - with the exception of a couple of shitnuggets not missing the opportunity to shittalk someone they don't know along the way.

Although, regarding your bigger and fairer sounding point, having a clear mind on things is something I'll get behind. It's reassuring to hear that he's finally in tandem of helping hand and there's a prospect of letting it go in good conscience. Video games are not something to take your life over and lose heath.

>>10000935
>Axe is dogshit though, they should have mirrored Doom with how you could find a level-lasting powerup which makes it more powerful or something
I just wanna say for anyone passing through who hasn't yet played classic Serious Sam yet: don't use the knife. It's overtuned, completely shits damage out but removes a lot of strategy from those games. No idea why croteam did that. Later games attempt to mitigate the issue by doing things like making enemies attack faster.

>>10001872
But the knife is fun.

>>10001579
No, it works with the original game files, if you drop game files from the full game or the full shareware episode it states "cannot load this in demo version" and patching that out lets it load albeit some things like the JSON needs to be modified too due to the changes they made in how it loads the order of levels however it can work without doing that. Though regardless completing any level dumps you back to the title so you can only pistol start, but you can do the level change cheat.

>>10001882
I agree. It just trivializes some of the encounters when you realize its utility.

>>10001797
>and no one keeps any expectations for Protons outside this place - with the addition* of
Couldn't phrase it better, as I tried to say that the local minority of trolls also don't care

>>10001906
Oh yeah, for sure. But you do put your ass at risk seeing as it's a melee weapon and the rate of fire isn't too fast. Really it's best when you slash up single targets.

>>10001835
Nice.
When do you think it'll be ready? Thursday?

>>10001834

I'll upload a fixed version later today.

Re:Mobilize is so fucking refreshing. The designs on these levels are so fucking awesome.

>>10001831
Cool. Looks like the crossbow was initially going to be the shotgun and rocket launcher, I think I approve of the direction they ended up with with how fun the shotgun is.
>>10001909
It was my “kill gnaar” reactionary weapon slot, and still kind of is when playing the newer ones. It mirrors my relationship with pinkies after I’ve grabbed a berserk kit.

I know I never actually formally submitted my map for Fore/vr/, but just to avoid confusion for anyone keeping count of the maps, this one's not going in.

Maybe it's because they are outside the area they are supposed to spawn at? They are here at level start.

Redditspacing?

This is Redditspacing.

As in, you linebreak every single time you end a sentence.

Like this.

See how there's no paragraphing at all?

It's all just smeared out like shit?

It's really fucking annoying to read text formatted like this.

No goddamn idea why cancerous newfags like you call it Redditspacing though, because you can go and look at screencaps and archives of 4chan posts from the early 2010s and the 2000s and see people format their text exactly like this.

People don't format their text like this anymore, thankfully.

But inbred retards like you, looking for something to complain about and something to assert yourself over, will call any kind of paragraphing or linbreaks of any kind, in any context, Redditspacing.

It's because when the doctor delivered you, he also pulled down his pants and fucked you in your soft spot before handing you over to your slovenly pig of a mom.

Now please go ahead and drop your favorite basedjak or tl;dr in response, so I can tell you to kill yourself, or tell you to go back to /v/ (which is worse).

I'm confused. Does this mean it matters, or it doesn't?

>>10002051
The waifu in question is a vtuber and I got second thoughts about the map because the whole concept and the visual gag is kind of gross and incredibly specific reference I found a bit disrespectful. I wouldn't want it into any project.

>Can we at least play your wad?
It's just a short shitpost really so nothing of value was lost, but sure. I also caught up a bit on newer submissions and they look great. That's another kind of self-critical reason I wouldn't want it in.

Don't sweat it, even if the reason was just cold feet I think everyone should respect your decision.

It doesn't matter if the wad has 12 or 54 maps, they are all going in as long as they are submitted.

Ah, thank you for the nice catch. They must have gotten loose while I was adjusting the geometry.
I've fixed the bug in the new version of the map. It also fixes the bug where one of the monsters in the final fight would sometimes not appear if you rushed through the blue key area too fast.

Please keep in mind my map has been renamed to "Trapped by the Ocean Scent".

Is there a version of Smooth Doom that is compatible with PrBoom+?

>>10000868
the word cloud knows all

>>10000918
i like it

>>10002216
Yeah. Vanilla Smooth, but it's only for weapons.

>>10002230 I see. Thank you.

>>10001917
the art part? Yeah
Gameplay wise? Nah.

>>10002245
I was making a thicc filia thursday joke never mind

>>10002216
Vanilla Smooth Doom, uses vanilla-compatible dehacked and as such only does the weapons (take a guess why):
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/102462-vanilla-doom-smooth-weapons/

Black Ops and SMOOTHED, uses fancy dehacked which requires at least a port with the relevant limits raised high enough, this should include all the major ports at this point. (Unsure if this includes PrBoom+um, haven't tried it)

upd8:
froze while claymoring a couple of revenants to death on map03 of community chest 3, one of them with a white shield.
reloading the save and trying again fixed the issue for now. the expedition continues.

>Early Quake releases had pre-emphasis flags on the CD music, later releases did not
>The official standalone soundtrack release is definitely not "de-emphasized"
>The soundtrack has de-emphasized applied in Quake Enhanced anyway
How does this happen?

>>10002354
I think it's bearable. Doom locks your view down and uses the auto aim for vertical shots, so if you've got a good twinstick gamepad it actually adapts well. Wolfenstein 3D adapts even better.
I've never tried it, but some people claim that gyro aiming is a good substitute for mouse turning.

>>10002446
>so if you've got a good twinstick gamepad it actually adapts well.
A trackpad / touchscreen is infinitely better than analog. It offers 1:1 mapping to movement like a mouse. Sure, your thumb isn't as accurate as a mouse, but analog is objectively broken for controlling a POV.
Even better if the Y-axis is locked like doom.

>>10000918
this is good shit, nice job!
>cracked marble, red and gray only palettes
wait I think I recognize this artstyle.. i hope i'm not wrong but if you're vaeros, you think you have some time to draw a doomguy protecting his dakimakura from the demons? that would be fucking cool from you cuz i liked the bossback art you made for 2048vr and some of the stuff from ad mortem

>>10002403
>one of them with a white shield
The suspect list shrinks. I'll take a look later. Thanks for the report. If possible, please note if there are other instances of cloaking/god shields around when it freezes. I'll rework how those shield effects are distributed because the implementation is rather flawed.

>>10002419
Idk but I just use the pre-emphasized version. It just sounds right.

>>10002354
It's honestly not the worst platform for playing Quake if you're not playing multiplayer. One of the first things I do with every Android phone I get in the past 15 years is load up a port of Quake on it.

https://youtu.be/KR0SVLXxW48

This was really impressive for 2008, with the keyboard and trackball that was built-in it was really like having a full PC in your pocket. It's too bad the Android software scene's been entirely co-opted by pajeets, chinks, and gacha/freemium scams since then.

>>10002479
i`ll be sure to delve deeper and come back with what i can find when i`ll have the time. thank you for the efforts.

>>10002483
It's fairly obvious that the pre-emphasis flags were added erroneously, since CD pre-emphasis was a weird thing that was done only on a scant few early CDs and certainly wasn't being done as late as 1996, which brings me to the fact that it just sounds fucked up and muffled with de-emphasis EQ applied, and furthermore doesn't have a sound signature like anything that Trent Reznor had produced up to that point

>>10002492
No problem. We'll figure it out eventually. I looked at the code and I don't see anything that could cause any sort of infinite loop. Others, myself included, most definitely would have caught it by now if it was related to shields due to how common they are. Just to be sure, I'll boot up MAP03 of CC3 later. For info's sake, what's your load order this time around? And if PM is included in it, are you playing with the latest github build? Cause I know Project Malice has some super ancient release that may or may not be fucky.

>>10001895
Interesting. Thanks for the details, anon.
>>10002489
That's pretty neat.

>>10002515
it`s just cc3 and ds, in that order. the group of enemies consisted of 2 revenants and an archvile behind them, in a short hallway right after a larger cave with a mancubus and a hell knight.
and just in case, the ds release is from 2 days ago.

https://litter.catbox.moe/y425dn.wad
I have an update for the Visco map. Using some very janky voodoo scripts courtesy of a friend, I managed to implement flooding one of the rooms instead of just raising lifts like the previous version.
During testing some earlier drafts of the scripting worked on PrBoom and GZDoom but not Nugget, so I'm very concerned about it working properly on various ports. It's currently working on all three, but I would really appreciate feedback from anyone using a different port, even if only to confirm it does work as intended.
The properly working script should flood the room uniformly up to the highest few steps, but not actually reaching the upper floors, as shown in the screenshot. The secret switch should also drain a specific section while raising a dam.

There's also some more minor and mostly visual tweaks, but there's still placeholder and undetailed parts.

>>10002153
It didn't occur to me until after I made the post, but if you intend on giving credit to the maps on the intermission like some megawads do, shorting it for my map to simply "Metallia" would be fine and probably look better. I mostly did the the full GREAT SWAMP WITCH routine as a joke for the post itself and credits file without considering that. Even for the list itself I'd rather the game (The Witch and the Hundred Knight) be credited than just doubling down on the credit joke.

My "waifu" map has a secret that can only be found with mouselook, is that ok or should i change it for the purists?

>>10002548
Alright, at least the chance the ball is in my court is 50%. Has this happened with any other non-CC mapsets? I know the mapset shouldn't matter but I'm poking at everything just to be sure. If so, then the chance goes up. Also which version of GZDoom and what OS? I know the Linux builds have been fucked for a friend of mine so I am not excluding this being a GZDoom problem in one way or another just yet.

>>10002573
last time it happened on cchest4, i don`t remember well what i played before except for augzen and older extermination day. but then i used other mods, including the accursed pandemonsters and nashgore.
i am on win10, GZ version is a 4.11pre-178g39cea95db, though it did freeze on one of the previous 4.11 betas and 4.10.0 as well. i think, it would be pretty embarrassing otherwise.
will try a different mapset next time.

>>10000818
does anyone remember that doom2 wad where you can play as the columbine shooters? some areas gave me a liminal space vibe lol

>>10002593
Try the latest devbuild just in case. The one you're using is from over two months ago.

>>10002615
sure, will keep it in mind.

>>10002559
Pretty cool map, the scripting worked on dsda, but to no surprise given you already tested on PrBoom. Is the whole castle side of the map meant to be optional ? I will edit the credits for a shorter name in the intermission, and maybe for the credits/help screen when I'll make one.

>>10002563
We're mapping in Boom format, so try to keep your map completable without any mouselook required. I know secrets are optional by definition, but playing a map for a long time only to realise that the secret you've been looking for is inaccessible in your port leaves a bad impression. I don't know what kind of secret you created, but you could just untag it and leave it in your map.

>>10002654
>so try to keep your map completable without any mouselook required.
That reminds me of something to consider for everyone mapping: Don't test with your autistic 180° fov. THere was a map in, I think 512 lines, that had revs blasting you from way above where you could never see them unless you increased FOV.

>>10002559
Ah, you are the twin waifu guy. I like what you did with the dog part of the map, looks a lot more distinct and generally better now. The water rise mechanic is also pretty cool.
This time I tried doing the witch part first, and I liked the high speed low drag feel of it.
The thing though, I think you should split them into two maps. Doing the second part, in whatever order you chose, is trivialized by all the gear you have from part one. yeah, it's not an issue for people that do continuous runs, but for the pistol starters, it would honestly be better.
Otherwise, I am pretty confident this door should not open with just the red key.
> I tried
you did good, very cute

>>10002559
>>10002669
I also tested the other way around, and the red key exit in the witch area can be opened with the red skull

>>10002654
I would have assumed if it worked fine on PrBoom, it'd work fine on anything else, but a playtester told me it was busted on Nugget at first, either from the scroller speed not being consistent or the linedefs being less reliable at that speed. I was really concerned about it breaking on some other, more obscure port.
As for the castle portion, I made it completely optional because it felt almost off topic to the /vr/ wad. It's an adaptation of a level from the game in question, but that wouldn't be obvious on its own. Both portions are intended to be completable before touching the other though.

>>10002669
Splitting them into two maps would mean cutting the secret area entirely for the /vr/ wad, which is something I offered in the initial post. Really they are intentionally designed to be separate to begin with. I'd really prefer not forcing the secret portion on people for the main wad, but I also don't really want to cut it entirely, especially because I think it's better as a level than the art section. I was hoping more people would voice an opinion on this either way.
Trivializing the sector art area with the loot from the secret was also somewhat intentional as it's a bit rough on its own, and as pointed out most people will play continously anyway.

>>10002674
I actually did this on purpose as a way to let you skip the slaughtery bit since it's not really that much faster, especially if you're bringing in other secret area loot like the BFG. I don't have much confidence in the balancing of that area or any area for that matter, so I wanted to give people a relative easy way out if it's just frustrating or boring, especially if they're tired of the secret area. I also considered setting it to the blue key instead so you at least have to go through half the secret to do so.
It's not a feature I'm very commited to so I am willing to set it otherwise.

>>10002669
Overlooked the part of the post about that door in the secret area, that was NOT intentional. It's been fixed to specifically check for the skull.

>>10001958
Fuck Echoes. Everything was fine in that mod until Echoes showed up.
Swamps of Heretics is probably the most visually impressive map in there, once you get out of the sewer area.
Urn has great atmosphere, but some of the floor detail has enough change in level to make walking around a hassle.
Expedition to Carcosa will allow you to softlock yourself right at the end, though in retrospect it's obvious what's going to happen.

>>10002864
He's pretty mild on difficulty compared to his inspirers desu, but I played so many difficult wads so what I could know about your personal experience. Try Jaded on HMP, also by him.

>>10002752
You could get crazy and have placements change according to difficulty, then relabel them as like “HD solo” or “HD Coop”? I play solo and am often terrible at HD so keep on keeping on.
>>10002861
I mean if we’re being serious (and we’re not) we gotta call the grenade launcher the “SSG” because it has far less range while potentially dealing more dps.

>>10002153
The horseposts were removed because 4chan doesn't tolerate them, I know that because my first post about my horse map was removed because I showed the character in my map's screenshot, so it's likely to have happened to the other horsefucker.

I've been having freezing issues too, along with some VM aborts, but basically only when I've been using add-on weapons, and one occasion that I tested where I had two Voidstorms cast at some enemies, but I can't get that freeze to happen again.

Have I needed to update GZDoom? I'm on 4.10.0, I usually don't fuck with dev builds.

Pic related is one of two VM aborts I get on EDay when I blow up some of the cars and gas canisters.

Didn't play it yet (might wait for a final release when Vaeros will finish those tasteful monster sprites), but your description reminds me of how underwhelmed I was by the ending of Cocoa Puffs map from 10x10 when I got sicced by hundreds of monsters inside some vast empty cavern. And that was just a single fight, can't imagine getting a full course of something like that. But I'll leave my judgement for when I personally see it, usually he is damn exceptional with monster setups.

God damn it. I'll fix the abort when I'm home. This isn't the first time EDay has bitten in the ass in some stupid way. I remember in the early days some of the toilets were shielded. As for the freezes, lame, but at least I know it happens to more than 1 person now. It seems to somehow be connected to enemies. At least until more info comes out and this theory gets shot to shit. Thanks for the report, is appreciated.

Catacombs anon here, finally I think with a playable version of the big underground maze map, still WIP but ready for testing.

https://files.catbox.moe/17moqm.wad

Primarily made with GZDoom & Hideous Destructor in mind - you can complete it in vanilla, but it's not made with vanilla in mind and it might not be fun.
It might not be fun anyway, this took a very long time and may be a bad idea. Has 4 player starts if you want to try it in co-op.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you.
there is a secret exit, but no secret map yet

The SRB2Kart server currently isn't any different, but I'm planning to change that in the next couple of days.
Please reply to this post with any character/map/mod requests you have, and I'll see what I can do.

>>10003038
I cannot.

>>10003095
Maybe Linux wasn't the right choice after all.

>>10003096
Nah this is definitely a user error problem. I probably fucked something up during compilation or I forgot something. Because everything else works except for Kart.
The real shitty thing is I don't know what to search for in terms of troubleshooting, because this could be a SRB2Kart thing, or a problem with the custom client, something definitely wrong with the client as I said before: The option menus are different from what I had before.

>>10003095
I'd have assumed this issue would cause a problem much earlier, but does your main menu say
v1.3 CEP v.0.23.1 (Moe Mansion+ Custom Edition Project)
In the bottom left corner?
I know one of the big changes to the custom client was more options in the stage select, so if you compiled the wrong version, it might be why you're crashing when you are.

>>10003108

>>10003107
You could ask the /vm/ thread for help, they developed the client after all.

>>10003117
No shit? Maybe I will.

do we have a price for the ROTT port update thing .

>>10003020
Okay, shielded toilets are pretty funny. I can't say whether the freezes are due to shields or not, since they've been when I was firing the BFG or the Pale Monument(turns out it doesn't just fire screaming voids, it also fires VM aborts and hard freezes) at groups. I'll have to load up a test map and fire at imps and some of the bigger guys separately and together.

>>10003024
Yes, I'm the same one. I made my own patch for it. Rather, I repurposed the one Term made for High Noon Drifter.

https://files.catbox.moe/ssd4oo.zip

I hope it's okay I put Zhs2's steroid add-on in it. It replaces Rage spheres, while Backpacks replace Ammo spheres. Known issues are you'll probably be hit with the Doom 2 ending enemy crawl after finishing some episodes. I have no clue what to do about that so you'll need to put "changemap flagship" in the console when it happens. And Nyarlathotep's floor flame attack is invisible. I checked for sprite overlaps and I don't think there were any.

Unlike normal Strange Aeons, you can kill the green ghosts in this, because I don't think there's anything Solomon shouldn't be able to kill.

>>10003168
I was just thinking about your art, was wondering if you had given up. Nice to see you're still at it.

>>10003152
The good news is that the freezes are not caused by anything that the player is directly responsible for, like picking up items, or pressing specific weapons buttons, or navigating the menus. That means whatever is happening is something in the background and indirect. It greatly narrows down the list. Ironically, that's also the bad news, because it's nothing obvious that can be reproduced easily. I haven't looked at the Pale Monument code, but I am going to assume it uses code similar to the Voidstorm and BFG. However, the BFG doesn't do the whole suckathon, while the rest of its code is pretty straightforward, so I am inclined to believe it has nothing to do with the projectiles either. That leaves either enemies or shields. If you need help debugging the shields on the test map (map dstest if you want to use the built-in one):
>ds_debug 512
This makes all spawned enemies have a shield instead of relying on RNG. Godspeed. I'm greatly interested in those VM aborts btw.

>>10003152
>(turns out it doesn't just fire screaming voids, it also fires VM aborts and hard freezes)

Correction, I'm testing on kinsie's map without Project Malice enemies and both of them are working fine. So it's that or EDay or the combo that's fucky.

>>10003208
The VM abort from >>10002914, assuming it's the same thing, is caused by the barrels because EDay spawns barrels and immediately explodes them, which makes the stuff in Death get called before PostBeginPlay can set the handler pointer. It's an easy fix, that one.

>>10003201
Well, I said aborts, but I think it's mostly just been this one. There might have been another, I'll see when I test EDay's test map with and without Malice.
>debug
Oh, that's handy.

>>10003229
I am going to assume the monolith does not do a null check after calling DamageMobj, which may potentially destroy the damaged actor. I have not checked the code to see if this is the case, but I'm gonna risk making an ass of myself because this is a very common mistake to make when dealing with DamageMobj calls. I'll tell Zhs2 about it.

was going to continue where I left off with arcanum but something has gone fucky with the save file so now all the enemy and pickup models are swapped around making it borderline unplayable. ogres are rocket boxes, shamblers appear to be shell boxes, etc.
Don't know what the fuck happened but I can't be arsed replaying the first 3 maps again so back to warp spasm it is.

>>10003320
not sure, I did a test by making a new save at map start then reloading but the error didn't happen

>>10003303
Same crap happened to me last week. Open the console and type map arcanum4.

Now with Project Malice enemies.

Test 1. Every imp I summoned has shields. No VM Abort with the Pale Monument, but a straight freeze. I'd like to assume this is a performance issue since it looked like a bunch of gore actors were spawning at once, but this weapon has given me freezes even when I've accidentally shot it right in front of me well away from any enemies. Though there were a lot of projectiles coming my way.

Test 2, all PM Imps, no shields. No freeze.

Test 3, all PM Imps, some have shields, some don't. Freeze just before Monument's projectile was even fired. I was also shaking from being damaged from a shock shield. Dunno if that's relevant.

Test 4, summoned all shielded barons, no freeze.

Test 5, what the fuck? Threw extra summoned BFG at the vendor, GZDoom froze as it was being sold and I was turning back to the imps. Did not even fire anything yet. I am genuinely confused.

Test 6, went back to normal Doom enemies to test them all with shields. Imps and a few barons and cacos, no freeze.

The freezes were pretty much just with the Monument this time. The BFG was working fine.

I tested on EDay with both normal monsters and Malice a bit. Normal monsters, no freezes with or without shields. Project Malice only froze on one of the last times with a bunch of imps without shields. I'm gonna try Kriegsland Enemies and Ashes Monsters, but right now it's looking like Project Malice isn't playing nice at times.

>>10003260
Nice. This is the other VM abort I get with it.

>>10003380

A vanilla-sized player can't fit in some gaps in the green bricks area near yellow key without crouching, which is fine as long as it's clear from the get-go
There's not a lot of hp to go around for vanilla health. If you don't want HDesters repairing themselves too much use stimpacks because overdosing makes them superfluous past the first couple you find anyway
also, missing textures here

Spent 37 minutes wandering around in confusion, slowly losing my liberator rounds and armor integrity to hitscanners a hundred miles away, got stuck in an endless brick maze while getting harassed by dabbing skeletons who said they were gonna bone me, found only one skull key, ran out of medical supplies and couldn't find more, and ultimately crawled into a featureless, copy-paste brown corner that wasn't marked on the automap, to bleed out and die from a spectre who snuck up on me.

10/10, pure misery. Would certainly be better in co-op, but I'd have to remember how to get it running or wait and see if someone else steps up.

Most of the game's problems stem from technical issues, and comparing it to the previous one. In that regard, it is pretty shit.

>>10003721
Yeah, but Anon could make one with his very own artwork.

What, in your opinion, are the right ways and wrong ways to utilize Cyberdemons in DOOM maps?

>>10003769
Don't.

>>10003769
>if the cyberdemon doesn't infight you die
The biggest wrong.

>>10003769
Consider his abilities:
>fast
>big
>lotsa HP
>spews out destruction like no tomorrow
>immune to splash damage
He can provide serious heavy support, he can oppress you from a far distance, and he can also be exploited extensively for infighting with other monsters. One Cyber can vastly improve your odds against a tough slaughter encounter if there's a good way to use him.

>>10003380
Okay I can safely say I legitimately have NO fucking clue what's going on. Tested the 1st and most likely scenario with the Pale Monument and like 60 PM imps + 30 barons, all shielded, active, and trying to violently murder me. I even tried spawning a mix of the two with the big sucker active. Then I tried the BFG. Then Voidstorm. Then the 35mm nuke. I tried every single combination, including dropping like 15 BFGs at the merchant's feet, while firing nuclear rounds, while the pale monument was screaming, while also blasting Caramelldansen in Winamp just for good measure. Absolutely fucking nothing. Even went back to GZDoom 4.10 and that one dev build anon used, using all 3 renderers. At this point I feel like you guys are running out of memory or some shit. Can you try playing in windowed mode with task manager open to monitor the memory, including GPU memory? Something is very, very wrong here, and I'm almost convinced it has little or nothing to do with either mod. Not directly, at least. This is highly frustrating.

>Freeze just before Monument's projectile was even fired.
>Threw extra summoned BFG at the vendor, GZDoom froze as it was being sold and I was turning back to the imps. Did not even fire anything yet.
So it freezes before you even get to the part where something interesting could potentially begin to start freezing... Yeah, memory issues is definitely starting to sound a lot more likely than it used to be. That might also explain why PM freezes more often than the vanilla monsters, given that it's an effect-heavy mod, much like DS itself. I may have to add a "gimped visuals" option for some effects if the memory theory gets confirmed.

It's a missed opportunity that the soundtrack isn't MIDI renditions of songs Moonman has covered.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I definitely could stand to add more health and ammo pickups it seems, someone in the tactical general said as much as well.
Maybe need to tinker with enemy positions as well - I wanted it to be a mix of claustrophobic corridors and ranged but yeah in the course of testing I got fucking owned by some enemy HERPs a mile away. I'm not too concerned with the confusing nature of the tunnels, I wanted to encourage that (and I tried to give different areas different textures to give you a GENERAL idea, though one part of the map is deliberately designed to be a fucking mess).
Much appreciated, it's valuable stuff. I'm gonna tinker with it some more later.

>>10003781
I tested other enemy mods with and without shields. I can say freezes with shields happened more than without. Vanilla never froze, even if it was more shielded imps and barons than I was summoning with other mods and even if a rift exploded while it was eating them. I don't think Kriegsland ever froze. Malefactors rarely did. Ashes bug dogs with shields did but it was inconsistent even with the same group.

>Can you try playing in windowed mode with task manager open to monitor the memory, including GPU memory?
I've never looked at this while playing before, but it doesn't look like I'm using even half of anything when it freezes. I can't see GPU memory but I can tell you my graphics card is a Radeon HD 5450. Next mapset I try it'll be with one of the other monster mods and I'll see if these weapons still cause freezes like this in normal gameplay.

I was having more luck with PM enemies in the test room recently, but mostly while they were notarget. Shields or no shields, everything seemed okay. Then I tried while they were alerted and attacking and got freezes again. But, tested just as many shielded imps now in the grassy area of Doom 2's first map with everything else dead and it's working fine even with them attacking.

And now again on EDay's test map with as many shielded imps as the button will let me summon. I turn on god mode and aggro all of them and let them throw fire until my frames are taking a hit and shoot the Monument right after this. Frames drop more, but no freeze. I did this at least five times, and then some more with a bunch of Barons and Revenants added. Still good. Frames were shit until they all died, but no freeze.

>>10004005
I hope they do another expansion.

Opinions on this post?

/vr/ post 6th-gen has been utterly disastrous, this thread being the only refuge from all that bullshit. No one can keep on-topic for longer than maybe 10 replies and even that's a miracle. So, no wonder most people don't bother with the rest of the board when most of it is low quality baiting and shitposting and discussions and arguments that go nowhere.

Don't know what the insinuation of "ReddiDoomer" is but it's true that I never venture outside this thread. Doom is my obsession, I don't really care about other retro or other games.

Does anyone even know what makes something "Reddit" nowadays?
Feels like we're in an age where different website cultures/personalities stopped being a thing because too many people use very few sites so it all overlaps and became a monoculture of sorts.
The exact kind of people that mocked 9gag in 2012 are using Twitter terms they'd normally avoid if they wanted to be "internet pure" in some way.

Was about to post this myself. Every single doom community (including dw) absolutely despises reddit's "doom community". Thus when someone here posts like /vr/ is in some forum war against reddit, it makes me think that the poster doesn't actually know more about doom than average /r/doom poster. Everybody who plays even some wads, knows that reddit is the absolute bottom of the barrel of doom community. There's not even reason to hate it, it's just a sad place. Hating /r/doom is like bullying retarded child with cancer. Everything in it is just sad.

What is this new NotBlood port? What are its advantages over NBlood and GDX? Also why is it called 'NotBlood'? Not a nice name for a faithful port desu. Is it actually a demo accurate faithful port like GDX and NBlood are?

I bet this is a stretch but does it fix BUILD's shitty mouse aim and make it feel like Fresh Supply's mouse? NBlood's mouse, while obviously a huge improvement over the OG DOS game, still feels like total shit compared to Freshy Supply's mouse feel. One thing KEX engine always does right is have a great feeling mouse. I wish he made a "KEX wrapper" over NBlood port so we could have gotten the best of both worlds.

Those are just the changes for this specific update. You should read all the changes included with the patch here: https://github.com/SamClassicPatch/SuperProject/wiki/List-of-features
But it mainly has a bunch of QoL features that makes running the game a bit easier, like proper borderless windowed mode and more resolution support. There are lots of nifty features included like loading TFE levels in TSE. It doesn't change actual gameplay at all because this is just a plugin.
I highly recommend this plugin to anyone playing classic Serious Sam nowadays.

>>10004019
This graphics card is 13 years old at this point and on the low end of its generation even. It might be time for an upgrade if you want to handle all fancy particles ever.

Considering the extended deadline and potential map list, i'm surprised nobody is taking the opportunity to rush out extra maps but i guess some anons are really that loyal to their waifus

>>10004687
I thought the new episode was quite cool. Better than 90% of Duke's mod content at least.

>>10004764
I haven't tried playing it yet since the port sounds and feels like I'm underwater, gonna see if I can extract the episode from the files or something

>>10004764
It works fully through Raze too. You’d only want to play it through the new port for the lighting.

holy this game is cool

>>10004019
This is so inconsistent that I don't even know where to begin, to be honest. The fact that it's all over the place and triggered by completely unrelated actions makes this very difficult to investigate properly. My money is still on memory given how ancient that card is.

>>10004691
Mostly just effects. Some effect on the ass-end of the map could potentially affect processing speed/memory, but you'd need to be playing some xbox hueg map like God Machine. Actually, that gives me an idea. Hey, anons, could you boot up that map or any other monster-heavy Sunlust map, do notarget, and just fly around without aggroing anything? Bonus points if you do it with ds_debug 512 for maximum shielding. I think that might be the best way to test this. Could also try to set gl_precache to 1.

>>10004546
Hardware specs? I really don't want to be pulling a Graf here, but that might be the only consistent thing in all of this. I'm going to install DS on this hilariously shitty laptop with integrated graphics that I have on hand and give this a try, assuming I can even get the game to run, DS or not.

Tested on that laptop on MAP20 of Sunlust using OpenGL ES. That was the only backend that could run, even if at 10 FPS. Used the Pale Monument a couple of times in a monster-heavy area with no problem. The plot thickens and I still have no clue what's up. Pic related.

>>10004887
Last I checked they did not have the new weapons and enemies, do they now?

>>10004887
How do you do that? Last I checked only Raze could (there's also a neat script for you to pack Alien World Order into a GRP for use with Raze)

>>10004096
Which one?
There's a hidden switch in the gargoyle-heavy arena to get to the secret cave.
There's a hidden switch by some trees near the cyber arena.
There's a pressable wall next to the skeleton lock-in fight that takes you to a secret pond

>>10004987
I found it in the end, and i was talking about the second secret of the map, the pond.

>>10003769
Wrong way is to put it in a huge area where you can circle strafe around it with no risk. Right way is to put it in an enclosed arena with a few hell nobles that can weaken it

>>10004994
>>10004987
So is that map any good or is it a slog?

i am probably late, but today quake is now 27 years old.

>>10005003
That's a hard question, the answer to it is probably down to personal taste. The map is genuinely well made, can't really complain there, but it's 2.5k enemies, spread in a whole bunch of small mini-slaughter encounters with 3 big fights and every secret punishes you for finding it, which is a thing I absolutely hate. In the end, I did not enjoy it, especially since it had the gall to end with a platforming section over damaging floor.

>>10004885
>Juggernaut
If you're going to play Juggernaut, make sure to get the 1.2 release (folder called JUGFULL, I think). It adds some additional content. Still not good in any way, though.

I think a shambler takes like 7 ish shots before dying? At the very least I'd be able to kill 1 or even 2 before I get pressed against the door that rises to trap me in. As it is, unless I go autistically secret hunting, I just need to shambler shuffle like I'm the best quake dancer you've ever seen.
If the nailgun didn't pepper them like an airsoft gun I'd just use that but it's only useful when there's one shambler, not fucking four. It sucks that their beams don't hit each other and just phase through.

It's hilarious how I can already tell the context of the post you're replying to. I haven't seen the original post that got deleted but I just got a feel I know what it is.

I had a guy on /v/ try to tell me that MGS did more to popularize video games than DOOM

>>10005068
Treat it more like a pistol than a shotgun. It's fast and weak, better used for mopping up human enemies, or softening up mid-size targets. It's fast and spammable

>Was spasm only tested with secrets or something?
Oh hell no I'm not scouring these long ass levels for those, and even them half of them would probably be trapped.

>spoiler
It deals about the same damage per hit as the double shotgun does, just at a much higher fire rate and to where you can outrange and bully shammies. I don't think they're immune to its "explosive" damage. And yes this pack really rewards you for loving your shotguns whenever you can.

to be fair more people know about mgs than doom
for normalfags that's all that matters
also
>timeout
fucking faggot mod deleting relevant discussion and warning people for calling them out

>>10005379
DOOM is responsible for the creation of DirectX, and was part of the marketing campaign for Windows 95. It's referenced in mainstream TV shows like Friends. I would absolutely be willing to say that more people in the late 90's knew about DOOM than MGS

and who, aside from us, remembers any of that?
most of the idiots playing videogames today don't even know what directx is

>and who, aside from us, remembers any of that?
Anon, the initial argument was about which game made gaming more mainstream, now doesn't matter, we're talking about at the time

>>10005317
Metal Gear's popularity is because of Smash Bros and internet memes, which would still put Nintendo higher
DOOM actually had cultural impact in its own day

>Also why is it called 'NotBlood'
Because the options available can change the difficulty beyond what was possible in the original game - such as hitscanners that use projectile sprites and having an invulnerability timer when you take damage, aka you're not playing Blood anymore. You can also disregard all the features and play in vanilla mode with software rendering. Choice is yours.
>Is it actually a demo accurate faithful port like GDX and NBlood are?
GDX is almost 1.21 demo accurate, but there are some demos that will break in GDX while NBlood/NotBlood will work fine. Running NotBlood with the -validate command will go through about 10 hours of demos, and compare the RNG seed/player position to that of 1.21 DOS. If there is a single bit out, it'll show up an error message. I'd say that is pretty accurate.
>I bet this is a stretch but does it fix BUILD's shitty mouse aim and make it feel like Fresh Supply's mouse?
No, NotBlood is still limited to the input system of NBlood/EDuke32 and does not change that fact - if you don't like the way the mouse works in those ports it won't be any better. But NotBlood does allow you to use the awful DOS mouse implementation for that 1997 experience.
Have you tried Raze's implementation of mouse look for Blood? It may be what you're looking for.

A lot of these secrets suck for how annoying they are to get, usually involving precarious ledges, fucky grenade jumps or swims in acid. And they usually just give a megahealth or something. There was a quad once but I found it well after the fight and you know spasm isn't going to give you a findable quad prior to some anal fisting encounter. Currently at 482/522 but I can just feel the next pack of 8 shamblers and 20 zombies around the corner. Most likely now I have no ammo and have to use this shitty sword.
