TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

>>10064513
>Removed so you wanna play some more Doom from the OP
Why?

>>10064526
My bad, forgot to add it to the template I use.

D!ZONE... home

https://files.catbox.moe/v6j8p5.wad

Purgatori map
Cleaned up a bit more, added some new things.

>Doom

Imagine playing Doom in the Quake engine

>>10064685
doom more like dead fucking thread

>>10064709
Haha yeah, that'd be crazy.

>>10064710
Hardly even a low tide. I remember a period years back when we actually struggled to stay bumped for a little while, thread even fell off.

I'm posting this because it motivates me to continue working. I remade all the sprites for demonsteele add-on mod
I also finished her backstory.
>anon that gif looks like shit
I don't know how to properly make doom gifs so I recorded Slade in OBS zoomed in and scrolled down to simulate animation: I then took a screenshot of each frame and put them together in GIMP
>>10064710
>>10064685
Don't die!

>>10064721
>I then took a screenshot of each frame and put them together in GIMP
Why didn't you just put the frames themselves in GIMP and scale them up to be more visible if needed?

>>10064716
Kinda surprised nobody has made a better version of Your Path of Destruction. I guess Slayer's Testicles is all the Doom Quake can handle.

>>10064726
>Why didn't you just put the frames themselves in GIMP and scale them up to be more visible if needed?
Why did I make all my animations in Unity by posing each frame then putting them into GIMP, six times because there was a slight texture issue?
The answer is I'm stupid and german and asian. I min-max'd autism.
When I made the 8-directional sprites for the player characters I took a photo at every angle, and every frame, every time. I don't bother to do things the correct way: I just do them.

>>10064530

hehe
what an mess

say if i wanted to extract textures/sounds from build games, which tool should i use?
is there an equivalent to Wad Reader?
i just want to ringtones and to make my own crusty-janky wallpapers.

>>10064748
uh oh i made a stinky haha

>>10064756
kill yourself

>>10064763
blow it out your ass

I hated Hell Reveled 2 but holy shit does this song go hard

What's your favourite DOOM music?

>go to watch the famous thresh vs entropy quake 1 duel on youtube because i've never seen it before
>some retard is raging about how thresh cheated in the comments and is nitpicking over stupid shit as "proof" of this
>people point out that thresh was doing legit tactics like succeeding at predicting what his enemy was going to do, but he's ignoring them
>half of his comments were made several months ago, while the other half were made...nine fucking years ago
>one of this comments states that he dueled thresh at some point, so he has to be pretty old

This guy has to be at least in his mid-40s and he's spent at least nine years seething about a duel in a 27 year old video game that happened back in 1997. He is probably going to go to his grave bitching that Thresh somehow snuck in cheats into the GLQuake executable used in the tournament behind iD's back. Dude is one of the most pathetic losers I've seen in old school FPS games.

I dunno I'm amused and it's not about tranny shit which is refreshing.

>>10064794
It's still stupid people being petty though.

>>10064594

I liked it, didn't get most of the references but did find the /vr/ graveyard

Did find some very minor issues (played on glboom+)
1. Z-fighting textures,
2. stuck pinky
3. random wall texture going up and down

>>10064796
For sure but man that's some silly shit isn't it? Seething about a match from almost 30 years ago. I'm not that invested so I'll stop talking about it but that was amusing to learn. Reminds me of this comic.

>>10064790
God wonders what went wrong in his life, glad I'm not him.

>>10064794
There's that.

International holiday today, boys.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/137568-in-gzdoom-2-cant-respawn/

>>10064802
I am the guy in the comic before he got old, except I have tried asking a lot of women out but they all ghosted ne.
Then I developed this feeling that I am worthless, and I keep thinking I should kill myself. I somehow got married to a foreign woman but I am poor and have nothing so don't know how long this will last.

>>10064871
Very cool

anyone else liked this much less than the first one? it's ambitious and the atmospheric but also a slog to play. not a fan of the open world-ish approach they took

>>10064952
*and atmospheric

>>10064952
Afterglow finale > 2063 > afterglow first hub > afterglow second hub
That's my feeling about ashes. Afterglow suffers from "big=good" syndrome, the maps became huge for no good reason.

>>10064980
Did you like Dead Man Walking? It's pretty much more levels in the style of 2063, with the final one being the highlight imo

>>10063658
It wasn't much in there outside links to fileplanet and the tenfourmaps forums, you ain't missing much really . .

>>10064871
I came.

>>10064751
well you probably found the appropriate programs already (they just take a google search to find, like winbarf for rff files for blood)
Just know, most of the work of extracting and converting something like sounds has already been done and downloads are readily available on sites like sounds-resource.com
Don't be a fool like me, who went the long route of extracting and converting, the uploaded files where identical to what I had.

>>10064798
Thanks for the feedback. Fixed up those issues, will give the map another once over tomorrow.

>>10064790
Normally i'd ignore drivel like youtube or twitter screencaps, but the 9 year gap on his comments between bouts of seething make it kinda funny.

Making interesting architecture is haaard

>>10064990
I counted DMW in 2063 since I played them in one go. I discovered ashes after afterglow came out, so I played the "complete" 2063 experience

>>10065116
New textures might help.

>>10065156
I'm gonna apply some new textures to your face with my fists in a second

>>10065158
That's not textures, that's decals

>>10064731
You really can't top YPoD. Not with the STORYLINE like that.
There were a bunch of mods porting Doom to Quake 2 though. Like the Generations mod that became Generations Arena. Member that?

douk

>>10065183
heh heh wut a mes

>>10065158
If you do that, I'm gonna spawn some new projectiles into your asshole. With mbf21, I can do anything.

>>10065192
CHAOS, CHAOS!

>>10065172
You mean SOG?
BTW yes the soundtrack for that mod was done by the Killing Floor lead dev

>>10064515
Really surprised about the turn out and completion rate of the fore/vr/ alone project, even though I have not played every map yet, the ones I have played have all been enjoyable in many different ways.
A while ago there was talk about a bossback pic being all the waifu's together, I'm no drawfag but threw this together. GJ to everyone involved, look forward to lazylead finally finishing their map and releasing the beta.

>>10065223
Lelouch is alive and secretly riding in passanger's seat
Good job anon

>>10064515
https://litter.catbox.moe/q4awrr.wad
Fore/vr Alone Visco map update, very likely the last. It's mostly minor things in response to the project lead's notes. I'd still like any more feedback, but I'm not sure I'll have the time to do many more changes.

>>10065223
It's beautiful.

>>10065223
Perfect in its own right, but I'll never forget the idea of Doomguy defending his bodypillow waifu from demons.

>>10065223
Suddenly realized just how young our general's userbase could actually be, I think there's a max of 3 participants who passed the age mark of 25. Or maybe it's just that waifuism doesn't last long.

>>10065290
Some find out later than others, but I do believe some younger people have come around here. I think the median age here is probably not different from the median of the rest of the board.

>>10065223
I can see rainbow dash's tail in the bottom of the truck.
>reported and deported

>>10065223
I want this as the titlepic now.

that reminds me
you know how the steampunk dbp wad has characters as npc's even if they're just textures?
surprised this wasn't a thing in the waifu wad

>>10065290
idk but I'm in my mid-thirties
I only recognize 6 waifus in the image, but I never was much into weeb stuff

>>10065290
I mean, some of us have other characters we're into but ended up choosing one character.
Whereas one of the mappers technically did 2 characters and admitted doing the Samus one, so i wonder if he was also whoever hinted a Starfox map.
If this project ever gets a sequel, maybe that'd be an excuse to explore other characters but specially if they're still genuine choises and not done for the sake of popularity or filling in categories.
I also got lucky because i started my map a while after the announcement of the project (Rather, when the lead posted the rules and the name of the project).

>>10064902
way to shill your shitty troll post faggot

>>10065393
well, it doesn't look completely awful on doom's palette

>>10065426
Well, the only bad detail is that Madoutsuki looks boiled now

>>10064346
It would be cool, but those improvements really should've also come in the form of pull requests on git. Source port author shouldn't have to look up forked source code on other platforms by himself.
Also M210 already was working on a refactor of the code base. Chances are, he already did similar changes himself.

>>10064871 Does Nugget also crash a lot for you guys?

>>10065436
part of shantae's hair also disappeared

>>10065426
Madotsuki is suffering from a heat stroke, what a wasted neet lunatic hahah lol

>>10065290
>>10065406
I have a confession, anons, it's been eating me alive.
You're not going to like it.
I made two maps.
Worse even! Curly is my best friend's waifu, I just made a map for him so it isn't my waifu. Outis is also just FOTM because I like Limbus Company
Yes it is was I, I made the original curly-wad and the first wad.
My actual waifu is Reki, but I needed UDMF format to properly make Old Home. I'm sorry for misleading you.

>>10060347
I don't know if you're in this thread anon, but I found a mod that may help you out:

>>10065458
I recall that anon going with Betty Boop to honor his passing grandfather, when originally he was going to to Holli Would from Coolworld.

>>10065223
someone needs to make a list with the canonical age of every character

>>10065483
They're all 21*, Twitter.
*: Note in Korea they count from 1.

>>10065394
The horse map has a sector NPC as the exit.

>just got two consecutive leaky rad suits in two ticks
what are the odds

>>10065223
Cool image, it'll make a good bossback.
However, I'm sadly not finishing my map. If I was to finish, I would need an excessive amount of time as I'm getting ideas too slowly to finish my layout idea in time. Also I tested all maps for Fore/vr/ Alone and I don't think the wad needs a subpar map from me that I fear will consciously or not use ideas inspired by those other maps. And postponing a beta infinitely just because the lead can't apply his ideas as he wants is exactly what is happening to 94p so I'm not fucking doing that.
So yeah, the beta will come either today or tomorrow, but there won't be any lead map. Maybe I'll finish it later and post it in the thread as a standalone.

>>10065223
>I'm no drawfag but threw this together
Thanks drawfag. The block truck makes it for me. A++
Very cool.

>>10065605
You should do still add your subpar map, anon
I want to play your map, even if it's bad.
As long as we can finish it it's fine to me.

>>10065605
Do we have a titlepic?

>>10065605
I think someone should be a lead map anon. Letting 94p negatively influence this project that people have worked on is a bad look.

>>10065605
Just add your map, it's probably not as a bad as you think. And the feedback you'll get from the beta will help.

>>10065623
Yes >>10048961

>>10065605
I mean just fucking do it anyway.

>>10065605
Just add your map anyway, you can always finish it after you upload the beta.

>>10065620
>>10065629
>>10065646
>>10065657
Yeah.
I would still like to put it in, and the irony of me failing the deadline on two vr projects is not lost on me (including one I fucking chose), but it's not that the map is THAT bad, it's just that I went through like 4 layouts before liking the idea of the current one, and the map is just not finished. It's way unfinished.
I will still put out the beta without my map, but if you want it, I guess I will add it to a later beta once everyone gets some feedback from people playing.
Given my working hours, it will still take some time tho.

>>10065672
Just leave what is done and abruptly end you map half-way through right after opening the wall with 900 revenants behind it. You can put "I'm sorry, being a project lead is hard" text screen after that. Would look really shitty without a lead map at all.

>>10065685
There's link on new post under "OUR WADS"

The cells in this picture are a secret that you have to find a way to lower the platform to get it, however with the height changes i made to the map you can get it after the first big fight by just running to it. I can just put a wall in front of it but the main point of that secret is to help you for the first big fight so im wondering if i should leave it like this or erect a wall.

>>10065704
So if it's supposed to help you with the first fight and you can get it after the first fight, why would you need to make it harder to get it?

Whoever said Zeppelin Armada was good, you are a liar. That wad was hot garbage.

>>10065704
Just make the sector higher ?

What is the best sourceport for playing Unrattled on? The info on idgames is inconclusive.

>>10065672
Just go for it, try to finish your map as you can, there's no rush. Besides i still need to finish my fucking goblin map, i'll try to get it done tomorrow, but in a possible worst case scenario its gonna be done between sunday or monday anyways tho, but if its too late for me then just drop my map.

>Contract Revoked added to Quake's re-release.
Is it actually good? It's difficult get a handle of what quaddicted voters consider rating highly.

>>10065738
The Quake Remaster community stuff is chosen very, very well. Contract Revoked is legendarily good, but it might be quaint to (You).

>>10065712

Yeah no hating on Contract but Tronyn makes fun good shit and I haven't gotten fully tired of Drake yet.

>>10065713
It's sadly the case with all DBPs. While they have amazing maps, they also have fair share of shit maps. There's no quality control. After all they are speedmaps.

Did Contract Revoked get any new maps like Terra and Beyond Befief?

What juice were they smoking when it came to make Augur Zenith? It even made some buzzing on DW so I know it’s not just me being easily swayed by the Snatcher styled aesthetics.

What tipped you off, the five gacha girls? The anime and conventional vidya and VN industry being what it is, that's just how character designs are churned out now
at least there's no tubas in this project

FWIW my pipeline to retro FPS was Team Fortress 2 which was THE shit in middle school. Free to play update was 12 years ago by the way

QUMP2 or Q2UMP is still the Q2 project, the issue is outside quakewulf, no one here knows how to make quake 2 maps, and if it is to use it, quakewulf's stuff pretty much got shit done.

Also if it is to do it, it is going to need alkaline's techbase and ruins assets like >pic

Do you have any questions, anon?
I'm going to be honest, anon, I really want to talk about the mod so please ask me questions.

>>10066059
elaborate. I thought the mansion in cryptic passage was neat with the overturned bookshelf demonstrating how Build isn't limited by flats/walls like doom

>>10066072
not him but you must be the one who mentioned tweaking the combo system so you don't reset to zero from a shotgunner gazing in your general direction, right? I'd certainly give it a play for that reason

>>10066090
>not him but you must be the one who mentioned tweaking the combo system
I believe the coder mentioned something like this but I don't want to put words in his mouth.
There were some tweaks the coder and I wanted to do I believe, one of which was fix Shihong's crash bug? Though finding information has been difficult on some of those issues.
Currently right now we're adding a new character that is a mix between Hae-Lin and Shihong. I can share more about the newest character if you like.

>>10066013
Ad Mortem has a bunch of libraries

>>10066115
>Shihong's crash bug
nta but if you are talking about the BFG raise crash, there is a link to a fixed version somewhere in the zdoom forums thread, so you can look into that one.
looking into the archives, i`m digging the tits. do tell more, if you feel like oversharing won`t mess with your motivation, cuz it kinda can.

Just saying this right now- Revenant homing rockets in Hideous Destructor are bullshit. They merrily buzz around bumping into things and scraping into walls and will not go away until you manage to shoot them down or they smash into your face. Why is that even a thing. I mean, it's probably my fault trying to Doomguy start New Gothic movement for shits and giggles but damn

>>10066150
You learn to deal with it, or you die and wait for a friend to revive you, or load a save on solo.

>>10066157
That's hilarious

>>10066150
I guess you're just intended to shoot them since they have a 99% chance to eventually bounce off everything else and hit you
the only saving grace is that unlike that FUCKING homing imp fireball revenant missiles don't kill you right from 100 hp so you can take the inevitable hit
shotguns work which makes sense because they're literally designed for shooting small moving targets right out of the air

>>10066150
Slugging the missiles when they’re still close to the revenant’s face feels so good though and usually drops them.
>I mean, it's probably my fault trying to Doomguy start New Gothic movement for shits and giggles but damn
Which skill setting?

>>10066002
What map is that?

>>10066171
Yeah, what's up with those homing fireballs, they're as strong as or stronger than balefire and they can stop on a dime and make a u turn to nail you right in the sphincter, I don't know how many times I've had that happen to me lol

Alright, FNF is being revived tonight at 6 PM EST, same time as before. I'll be running Insanity Deathmatch, probably along with some compilation deathmatch WAD. I'll also be hosting through TSPG because that's much easier for me. If there are any significant problems with TSPG, let me know and I can revert back to the original hosting method, though I will be grumbling all the way.

Thank you, and I will: I've been waiting for this because I wanted to hear other's thoughts.

Note I'm just the artist, I just do art-assets.
Though we have discussed this already.
Keeping in theme of demonsteele: Lin is korean, Shi is Chinese, and the newest character is finally... Mongolian.
Hae-Lin is all about speed and reaction.
While Shihong was basically the opposite of that in theory.
And Jackie Altantsetseg, she uses a pistol and knife. She has smaller weapon selection compared to her peers but has unlimited ammo for her pistol, though she needs to reload. Her melee attack also changes her "stance," each stance has its own specials. All her moves inherently rely on some positioning or timing.
Meaning she's a mix between the two characters to bridge the gap.
One of her specials for example has a slight pause before dashing half the distance of lin's forward special but repeats this dash 2 more times with slight pauses. This inherently is a weakness that requires some thought to use properly.
Pic is a doodle of her design.

>>10066179
The first trick to revenant missiles is hitting the revenant first so it doesn't get a chance to launch them. Blooper airburst works wonders. The second trick is to deploy a DERP, which can shoot them down. Summoning talisman ghosts will also target missiles, but they can't destroy them, it just confuses them and usually slows them down enough so that you can shoot them yourself with ease. The blursphere can hide you from the missiles so they can't track you and probably won't even explode if they bump into you at random.
>I mean, it's probably my fault trying to Doomguy start New Gothic movement for shits and giggles but damn
Starting without armor is asking to be oneshotted.

>>10066179
>they're as strong as or stronger than balefire
They're much weaker than balefire, the thing is that they actually set you on fire. If you immediately put yourself out after getting hit you can walk away with less than 20 HP damage and minimal lasting burns.

>>10065927
Can't disappoint them if you don't have them. Although I haven't really gave too much thought to the whole "waifu" thing. Not sure if I should.

I played all the ones from the latest update and can't remember anything that looked like that

Found out
it is the Explore Jam series

>>10066267
>>10066216
It's likely some random artfagging from Makkon on Dicksword and not an actual, playable map. He does that a lot with his texture sets.
Actually I don't think he's even ever made a real map himself.

>>10066274
>it is the Explore Jam series
I tried the latest one because it seemed like a nice concept and I’ve enjoyed some “explore” focused Doom maps with little to no combat. I explored the hub map a bit, started a map with a cool looking room that had a vase or pot, couldn’t make any progress because it seemed to rely on weird jump physics.

>>10066253
>starting without armor is just asking to be oneshotted
Yep
Started with the Assault loadout instead and I was able to clear the starting area relatively easily.
Seems like I have trouble putting out fire though, sometimes it's like I've been doused in gasoline and no matter how much I shake the mouse while crouched I'll just die anyways

>>10066324
>>10066253
That’s what you meant by “Doomguy start”, just the pistol? At least start with the security loadout, just like his UAC gig before shit hit the fan on Phobos.

>>10066324
Rolling's ability to put out fires got buffed recently, you might try that if sitting and spinning isn't cutting it.

i`m not particularly good at jerking people off, but it will take me a bit to come up with something more productive to say.
so far all on my mind is that this sounds like a really cool kit, gl to you and your lad pulling it off.
really dig the idea of a more condensed arsenal with more abilities per tool instead, plus i am not sure i have seen people do timing-based attacks before, or switching stances with moves.
besides, a tacticool design in hack-and-slashy gameplay is really interesting to peep at. sweet png.
>spoiler
based. actually something unique.

>>10066241
also, if you gents try looking into custom monster pack compatibility, that would be pretty nice. though the only thing i can contribute rn is missing impact sound on shihong`s front directional when played with enemy replacer.

>>10066353
I'm glad you like the idea, anon
I honestly just want to create fun things, I honestly really love talking about the cringe ideas I want to make.
>i`m not particularly good at jerking people off
Don't fret, I don't need praise. I just felt it be incredibly rude to just info-dump about a mod even if I really wanted to. I'm glad you like the idea, that'll inspire us to work harder. I do believe in my coder, like how I believe in the rest of you.
>>10066394
> if you gents try looking into custom monster pack compatibility, that would be pretty nice.
No promises but I'll see what I can do, though I don't want overload my coder.
Also though not related I completely re-did shihong's sprite to match her actual concept design by the way.

>>10066408
>cringe ideas
it ain`t cringe if you went ahead and made it, m420. or something along those lines.
i do get the desire to keep it brief, whenever my friends are cooking something i avoid running my mouth much as well. how highly inspirational of you btw, anon.
and it is nothing crucial, your girl may even end up not having any issues with other enemies.
>I completely re-did shihong's sprite
ah, i remember seeing it some threads ago. well done.

Is drake just "something wicked", or is there actually a standalone mod + levels?

>>10066452
It's Something Wicked, Ter Shibbaleth, some of Tronyn's other stuff maybe, a map posted by another anon here (he also had a Quoth version), that's all I've been exposed to so far.

>>10066530
Kept happening too

played a bit of Trailblazer today, on Good Morning Phobos, hardest difficulty, pistol start, with the Dusted's Pandemonia monster pack. Was honestly a stupid amount of fun, and not as imbalanced as you'd expect cause the demons are so varied, and they're faster on Edgelord difficulty but they don't respawn, plus you get less ammo from pickups. Highly recommend desu, the maps facilitate the q3 adjacent movement stuff too

>>10066013

Quake 3 / FTE bros, is there a better way of doing double-sided faces than just 'cull none' in the shader? I'm getting the inward face, but it's not being dynamically lit - just using the lightmap of the outwards face.
Trying to rip off some of Doom 3's transparent truss textures.

Full shader looks like:
> surfaceparm metalsteps

A lot of the Explore maps are covertly platforming maps.

>>10066561
it's a weirdly balanced combo with colourful hell, the hp/armor bonuses enemies drop count for nic rushes and you actually have to use your tools like the homing knife throw if there's a bullshit instakill ice enemy around a corner

Updated release to Emerald Herald/Shanalotte map for Fore/vr/ Alone. Unless there's some serious texture misalignments, gamebreaking bugs, or otherwise hideous fuckery left in this wad, this will be fundamentally the last release of it save for some potential light adjustments for final release of the megaWAD. SLADE crashes when I try to add textures to the TEXTURE lump on my Cambrian-era laptop, some OpenGL nonsense, so no custom waifu texture(s) (sadface). The linked file also includes a UVMAX demo for this release. I'll try to include whatever necessary details my brain can recall at this moment:

Author: ds2chad
Complevel: 9 (Boom)
Tested in: Prboom-Plus
Preferred Music: D_MESSAG, Message for the Archvile
Average Difficulty on UV: 7-8/10
WAD+Demo Link: https://files.catbox.moe/yjqpre.gz

Major updates:
Addition of a small secret non-secret semi-Majula area as an easter egg
Implemented HNTR and HMP difficulty settings
Dissuaded (but not eliminated) blue skull key room cheese, darkened room, added another archvile for UV
Additional fun stuff in the yellow skull key room
Texture touch-ups in the starting room
Minor monster additions globally for UV
Additional ammo and health pickups in areas previously starved
More FIREBLU in secret areas

Drake is an older mod/devkit created by Tronyn and PM, but from some conversations I've had with Tronyn, he was mostly the ideas guy and PM just did everything Tronyn asked him to, resulting in the mod Drake and episodes like Soul of Evil 1 and 2, A Roman Wilderness Of Pain, Arcanum, Ter Shib, Unforgiven, maps like Something_Wicked, etc. Just search Drake on quaddicte'd maps page. The source was released over a decade ago for anyone to incorporate its stuff into their own mod, and with progs_dump 3's release that's a very convenient thing. However with the release of Keep which has just about everything Drake does it's a tiny bit redundant, but I still enjoy it immensely.

Those people are just barely actual boomers, as opposed to internet "le old" boomers.

>>10067359
You're not taking into account the complexities that go into making a singular 'level' in a modern first person shooter.
Quite often even 'level based' ones like Doom 2016 happen in an interconnected network and you can't really as much get away with completely disconnected levels.
This actually hurt Cultic really bad imo, the game had a good framework and was wasted on like 60% of the game feeling like nondescript forest or mine tunnel.

Easily A.L.T.'s MAP15 midi. The visuals, the twist of the map and the midi caught me off guard the first time. Doomwiki doesn't have a source so I assume it's original. There's also the added bonus of having distinct vibes on different soundfonts.

The pic is fine as a BOSSBACK, but I dislike how many of the conversion options make the duller blues on Visco grey. It's not that big of a deal, but if possible I'd like one that keeps the blues, even if too bright. The dithering is a bit ugly to me though, so I'm not sure that would be a good option either, even if some of those do address my complaint about it.
>>10065605
Pardon if I'm wrong, but isn't that the Puyo Puyo Witch in that pic on the left side? If so, it'd be a bit awkward to not include your map even if it isn't totally up to par.
>>10065290
There probably is a correlation between the character's debut year and their mapper's age, but I wouldn't take it too seriously. I doubt the Betty Boop anon is as old as her, and theoretically the Shantae anon could have first learned of her from the newer Smash games or a streamer instead of the original GBC game. No offense intended. Meanwhile, the gacha girls could be older anons with the disposable income to dump on those.

Demonsteele is by far the gameplay wad I played with the most, it's incredible.
The bugfixed version on zdoom forums with working Shihong BFG is at http://www.mediafire.com/file/oy15ioc3s9jvfnc/te13-DemonSteele.pk3/file

Also I'm just going to put some random ideas I've had for the mod below just because, feel free to shit on them.
If you guys could find a way to fix the issue with Shihong's specials it'd be amazing. I had to increase the double tap window on my side but even then it sometimes misses inputs, very weird.
I'd be great to have arrogant weapons for Shihong like Hae-Lin's throwing knives and freeze gun. Maybe shurikens/homing drones/rocket punches and a sniper rifle?
There was this great idea from the man himself to give Shihong some more defense:
>Likewise, one thing I've been experimenting with quite a bit is turning the reload for the Fists instead into a shield--one that can block a lot of incoming fire, but you can punch the inside to generate a shockwave to thrust enemies/projectiles back.
And finally, how about a crossover with High Noon Drifter? Port Corzo and his weapons as a playable character with the Demonsteele life system and projectile/monster dynamics. Horribly unbalanced but probably quite fun...

Guncaster or Guncaster Vindicated?

>>10066486
>>10067114

https://youtu.be/28Jyr9MYO24

>>10068295
Sounds fun if it has some nonlinearity like some of those fat Quake maps or Eviternity’s map 32. I also don’t hunt for 100% on initial blind playthroughs.

>>10068338
Both. Music is pretty quiet and sfx is basically inaudible.

Is there a "mute" button in Doom?

>>10068403
alt + f4

>>10068403
My music player is exclusive audio mode, so any secondary programs get muted. Useful when mapping so I wouldn't be hearing the same midi multiple times.

You guys weren't joking how much pure existential dread this level can deliver. . .

Is there a single place in this godforsaken universe where I can read how this fucking thing supposed to work? I want to apply a brightmap to a single sprite texture but it only allows me to apply it to all textures for the sprite.

How about you get your terminology in order first?

recommend some good map only wads that feel like proper campaigns with some pretended plot behind it and levels that feel like interconnected that give a sense of progression

For some reason, it's always weird for me to see anime/manga/doujins with russian translations. It's like I don't believe there would be any fans there. I don't know why, but I just can't read hentai in russian, it just feels wrong

>>10068828
It was not about romantic staff, but Misaki saw Sato-kun as the most pathetic creature imaginable. So she decided to conduct the "experiment" on him.
>>10068831
I remember good times, when I translated some hentai manga from English and even from Japanese (I don't even know it) for exhentai.

Doom creator John Romero on what's wrong with modern shooter games:
>”For Doom, it was really important that every time you got a new weapon, it never made any previous weapons useless. That was a critical design characteristic. We’re going to add a new thing that can’t negate anything that came before. So how do you get the chaingun and not cancel out the pistol? It’s to do with how much ammo it eats, and how inaccurate it is over distance – the pistol eats less ammo and is extremely accurate at a distance.”

Chaingun gets perfect two shot accuracy invalidating the pistol, shotgun can be tossed when you grab a CG and SSG, and the PG vs BFG balance is crazy. The weapon roster doesn’t feel as balanced as he suggests but he does have a decent overall point.

>>10068864
That's like google and their web "optimization" rules, there's a fuckload of rules/good practices/whatever they want you to follow, but if you check their own websites they never follow them, and there's a lot of ugly shit under the hood. In case of google they don't have to worry about SEO-rating in their own search engine.

I'm surprised by these replies, I was expecting more balls to the wall metal tracks to be honest

>>10068864
I think Half-Life ended up implementing that philosophy much better. Getting a new weapon is useful by default because it's another magazine you can dump before you have to back off from combat and start reloading. Even if the pistol doesn't do much that the assault rifle isn't better at, the pistol is another 17 rounds you can pull after you've already spent the rifle's 50.

naw you can definitely get a lot of use out of shotgun even after you pick up ssg. it's faster for starters. but it's also much better at sniping enemies who have high ground or slight cover due to its horizontal-only spread.
you correctly point out that the cg can also be used for this, but sometimes you're just out of bullets and not shells.

as for the pistol... yeah it's pretty useless if you have a cg

>>10068895
You are both wrong and correct. SG indeed can be better in specific scenarios even after you got SSG. But in practice those scenarios are almost non-existent once the wad gave you SSG. It's just how everyone design their maps, oh the player have SSG, better dump a lot of meat here otherwise it will be too easy.

>>10068864
good on romero for doing some good work all those hundreds of years ago, but nowadays he is too busy snorting coke of a hooker's ass to say anything worth listening to.
some people don’t age as well as games do, man. i think it’s time to move on.

>>10068864
The regular shotgun has good range at a distance, you can easily kill some enemies at some ranges with fewer shells using that over the super shotgun.

>>10068906
>But in practice those scenarios are almost non-existent once the wad gave you SSG
I disagree.

Testing out some Rogue Spear eyerape

>>10068886
>Babel mod unironically does this very well
It ranges from “very well” to “does this better than anyone else”. Babel is an absolute gem.
>>10068895
>but sometimes you're just out of bullets and not shells.
You’re going to use the shit out of the chaingun if the level doesn’t drop any shells or even shotguns, and you’ll use the plasma rifle way more than a BFG if the set of levels doesn’t even have a BFG placed. Ammo and weapon placement can be used as a balancing tool especially with how imbalanced the weapon roster is.

>>10068906
definitely not non-existent in doom 2.
in slaughter maps yeah sure

has anybody here used trenchbroom + unity with a bsp loader plugin? I'm trying it now, imported my level and am setting up lights, but for some reason lights are only affecting areas from the center of the light upward. any ideas on how to fix this? pic related

why are people upset with slipseer?

What maps should I play with this? Something with lots of room for movement, especially the cool 'skating sprint' thing.

Oh boy here comes the quake drama boys again. Don't you furfaggots have better things to do?

>Hexagonal flat on hexagonal floor

This bothers me.

>>10068576
I think that's as good as I can manage with my current level of skill. That darker side of the back blade isn't even going to be visible for the projectile frames.

>>10068509
Okay, even assuming there is some way to bind brightmap to a single frame, it's still so limited compared to GZDoom.
I wanted to write some script to port brightmaps+ to this lump so they could be used in Woof/Nugget/Crispy/Retro because the default brightmaps looked kinda plain.
The idea was to compare each pixel of original sprite and corresponding gzdoom brigtmap, and then lighting all the colors with at least ~0.5 white. The very fist, the most basic sprite of the health bonus ruined all the plans because it uses the same color in multiple places, and the only way brightmaps could be applied in Nugget is by color, so you can't make 2 pixels in the middle bright without also affecting the top-right pixel. And it's only gonna get worse with more complex sprites, especially considering there's only 256 colors. So automating this process is absolutely not an option. In fact nothing can be done here, you either light all of them or none of them.
Not only GZDoom allows to light each specific pixel on the sprite separately, it also allows any degree of partial brightness for each pixel, and on top of that it allows colored brightness

>>10069171
Yeah, I'm basically just testing shapes and colors. Probably can make it better.

>>10068972
I beat Rainbow 6 and Eagle watch and I don't remember a fucking lick of it.

>>10068864
>Chaingun gets perfect two shot accuracy invalidating the pistol,
Honestly seemed like an oversight. Can't avoid the extra ammo cost, but it's not really an issue in any level I've played.

>>10068864
Oh, also the shotgun is better at long range than the ssg, and the plasma rifle has such high variable damage that it often nears the bfg in utility without having to get up in some boss monsters face, as well as being useful for lower tier enemies.
>>10068929
We'll see when his new game comes out. His/his wifes gangland game is supposedly decent if you like that sort of game (just not that good on release).

>>10068576
Should probably go back to this map at some point, at least after i deal with another project of mine.
Don't know what's the last thing i have shown, but i added a swimmable blood area and this zone with a few LS's and a Hologram pickup.
After this, i detail the 3 portals area and add in the cultist castle or something.
https://pastebin.com/UZy2ipd7 In case Rentry links are blocked, i wrote some plans but there's stuff i have to figure out when actually building and maybe look up more info/tutorials.

>>10068301
I really like how the 1 on the HUD lights up to denote Berserk now. It lets me do this.

>>10069276
Those little weapon icons are cute.

>>10069257
The Chaingun would be dramatically less useful without that functionality, to the point that it would be an annoying weapon to actually use.

>>10069279

>>10069264
>shotgun better at long range than the ssg
Chaingun's better than both, and it deals a hair more damage per second than the pump.
>nears the bfg in utility without having to get up in some boss monsters face
Based modern level designers understanding it's niche, as well as not giving the BFG too early in the wad.
>as well as being useful for lower tier enemies.
The hardest sell when one has rockets and shells for their super.
Pistol starting is a great equalizer for Doom's blatantly poor weapon roster balance.

>>10069342
>GMOTA gets stoned and rocks out
Canonically this mattock was made by a Dwarf too, gifted to Blaz after the two have a fistfight. Really at this point all of Blaz's subweapons are gifts from people he befriends.
Mechanically it's gonna replace the Hatchet, and it'll drop a handful of 1HP bonuses on hit, but they'll fizzle out after a short time so you'll need to stay in melee to get that HP.

>>10069342
>Chaingun's better than both, and it deals a hair more damage per second than the pump.
Dont always have ammo for that.
>hardest sell
Depends on the mapset, as does all of this, really. Rockets have splash damage and imo shells should be more limited than they are typically so the SG can be more used for conservation of ammo
>Based modern level designers
Agreed. My arguments all kinda hinge on this. The original maps rarely have times where these points are applicable unless you're pistol starting every map.
That was a thing people did back in the day though. Pistol starting every map on UV was an achievement before "achievements". Fairly mundane today, but a lot of people were still keyboard only back then so niche strategies were actually useful.

imo the ssg should be a secret early in a mapset and given maybe midway in. Then the bfg should be a aexret later and given toward the end. Depending. Wads are most fun for me when they're set up for chaingun, sg, plasma, rocket as the go-tos.

>>10069218
why didnt you just make the blade silver instead of fagging it up with the purple? i'm sure you have some gay lore shit like "it's a crystal from the dwarven miiiiiiines lad!!" but honestly man it just kinda looks like a purple dick

>>10069281
Disagree. It's great for stunlocking large groups of low tier enemies, or one mid/high tier enemy like the manc or caco

>>10069385
Cus I wanted it to be a crystal. Because crystals are cool. You can make some sprites and replace it later if you're so inclined, or just replace it with the hatchet again.

>>10068124
Welcome anon. Y-shearing and turning off fog smoothing should get the closest software look through Polymost while still running faster than the software renderer.
>>10068160
Even if you stick with the DOS version for the sake of authenticity, you have the issues of saves inverting difficulty and hands becoming one-hit kill enemies at 60+ fps, along with mouse input having 33ms of lag (bMouse doesn't fix this).

>>10069385
Don't reply to this fucking retard. He's the stupidest motherfucker.

>>10069385
Chill man, it's just a crystal just like hundreds of other retro games.

>>10069424
Given how angry he is and how capped the post off with talking about it looking like a dick, I'm gonna assume it's the same guy who said it looks like a dildo in the past.
Why he's wanting to pick a fight is beyond me, but some people are just that way. That other dude is right: You shouldn't reply to him.

>>10069376
Same part I lost interest with this pak sadly, maybe one day.
>>10069382
>Dont always have ammo for that.
Oh well, yeah, there's not really a choice then.
>SG can be more used for conservation of ammo
Only if the wad also dehacks it with a damage buff or pellet increase.
>The original maps rarely have times where these points are applicable unless you're pistol starting every map.
Doom 2 magnifies every issue I have with the weapons to the extreme. Most people know what's up these days, and some make good balance changes.
>>10069427
Maybe he just sees beni everywhere.

>>10069440
>Same part I lost interest with this pak sadly, maybe one day.
The ending was trash. I was expecting more in the end with so much suspense that the climax was like "oh is that it?

>>10069171
I like these two from the bottom a lot

>>10065406
>If this project ever gets a sequel
Had a thought about this.
This project is kinda special because of how unique it is compared to other /vr/ projects.
So a sequel would work better if it comes out at least 5 years from the release of the current one.
Like long enough to not abuse the concept's novelty that much.

Finally, some progress.
Here's the first beta of Fore/vr/ Alone, with all the maps I got so far : https://files.catbox.moe/koctdi.zip
I know it's huge, that's because the whole OTEX lot is still in there. I'll cut the unused stuff later.

-Credits aren't done yet, but if you see the wrong name on some Entering/results screen, do tell.
-I don't have all map names for now, so some CWILVXX lumps are missing as well.
-Intermission texts aren't written yet, but placeholders are there.
-The Shanalotte map was compiled with ZDBSP with GL nodes on. I didn't see any issues on Nugget/dsda/Zandronum(duh) but if this is an issue on other Boom ports, let me know.
-Only UMAPINFO is present for now, the others will follow later.
-I'll add the third demo later when I record it, for now the 1st and 3rd demos are identical.

Anyone have a wad for Dakka? It has disappeared from the internet.

>>10068864
Modern shooters are just an entirely different ballpark of weapon balance because by holy decree you can only carry 2 weapons at a time, and there's not nearly as much of a power gap as there is between plain shotgun and BFG
although 2 weapon limit does play into the "throw out the early weapon" aspect

>>10069508
not the author but that kind of thing is fixed by changing the sector's light level by 1 up or down right?

>>10069540

https://gofile.io/d/2cRKbP

Something Wicked was great. Very nicely structured layout, with nearly everything looping back on each other.
I'm guessing based on these counts that I missed a mega secret or something. There was one ceiling switch I shot that didn't seem to do anything, so I wasn't really hunting for secrets at all.

>>10069454
also pretty unique in the fact that I really cant seen another doom community doing a waifu project that didn't just become a a pile of "lol otakus,boy are they strange!" self referential humor. I was really suprised that most of the waifu's where pretty obscure,

>>10069565
You're gonna have to make the sector they sit on bigger, because sprites that clip into a wall will become visible.
I notice the closets they're in are really small, maybe you could try teleporting them?

>>10069559
Also the sound for the super shotgun in this really worked for me. Very satisfying. And the increased super nailgun speed, along with getting a ton of ammo everywhere, made taking out the waves of scrags fun.

>>10069571
>I notice the closets they're in are really small, maybe you could try teleporting them?
Oh nice to know, though I have no idea how to do that. If it really becomes a problem I'll fix it though.

>>10069585
It's not any kind of functional problem, it's just ugly when playing in the software renderer.
>I have no idea how to do that
You would have some sectors outside the map with conveyors, and a door blocking the item from being pushed onto a teleporter linedef.

Or if you're up against a former human/sergeant/chaingunner/imp each of those takes one sh shell.
But I agree it could be better balanced to maximize Romero's quote.
Might be a fun little wad. Simple rebalance. Nothing crazy. Shouldn't take longer than maybe an hour to make and test.

https://datanon.itch.io/babel/devlog/561033/july-2023-update
I finally actually released the update (finally). This shit was ready like 2 weeks ago but I got so caught up in telling the government to fuck off and stop trying to get extra taxes out of me that I forgot to release it.
Anyhow, basically just bugfixes and some weapon tweaks. I was gonna do something more bombastic but every time I tried to add a new system (like the enhanced infighting AI) it turned the whole balance on its head so bad that I had to remove it.
I did change the menu layout though, hopefully it's easier to find settings now.

>>10069470
>no witch map

>>10069389
Yes, but there's a lot of value in how you can reach out far with it at your leisure.

>>10069676
I huess I only disagree with the "dramatically" part.
Again, all depends on the mapset.
If I were to rebalance it: CG fires faster. pistol does too, but obv to lesser extent, is perfectly accurate. SG has maybe varying pellets between 7-10 maintains spread, maybe skosh faster. SSG is unchanged. Plasma rifle is a little less varying in damage. BFG is unchanged.
Some ofnthat would need to be sussed out
