Dark forces remaster is out

Also the /v/ thread rn is the same repeated bullshit coming from trolls who never played the originals at all.

What's the best Quake source port for most mods, so far?
I haven't updated my vkQuake in a while.

Just finished blood, overall great, bosses were trash, episode 3 was weak, but the rest of the game was excellent.

Going to play the two expansion pack episodes, then what WADs do I do? I know about Extra Crispy already.

>>10735906
Is this still up?

>>10735992

>>10735970
I'm been using vkQuake as often as I can since the updates stopped. Haven't ran into any issues surprisingly, just some stuff on Peril but that's a big weird mod.

Thanks to the dev for very quickly responding to my bug reports (whining on 4chan) twice now.

Thank you Heroic, very cool
WRATH is pretty good so far, might actually buy it if its still holding up at the end of the night

>>10735579
>Like the other anons said. Play on HMP or even HNTR. Higher difficulties just up the enemy count. If you don't want lot of monsters, don't play on difficulties that give you lot of monsters.
How's HNTR? I guess I should give that a try because even HMP gets boring at times.
As for anon complaining about slaughter maps, another way I deal with it is just that I stop playing and come back again every few months.

>>10736282
Nice.

Can the Kex engine port of Quake be adjusted to be closer to the original, or is it better to just use any preexisting source port like Quakespasm or Mark V?
I haven't touched Quake since 2018, when I left The Tomb of Terror.

>>10736340
vkQuake or Ironwail (both Quakespasm forks) are the ones mostly in use these days for good performance in bigger mods/mappacks. If you don't really care for that, Quakespasm or Mark V will do you fine.

Pic unrelated, just a screenshot from mapjam6's ericwtronyn map.

>>10736340
The Quake remaster is fine, quit trying so hard.

>>10736157
>whining on 4chan
I mostly lurk these threads for feedback, because anons here are more honest/direct than other places.

>>10736418
The Quake Remaster changes a lot of lighting from the original id1 maps, and both the mouse movement and player movement are changed just enough to feel off to me. It's indeed fine, but you really needn't be weird about somebody wanting to use a port that approximates the behavior and lighting of the original. And I gotta emphasize, you ARE being weird about this.

Gamma/contrast for Quake? Ironwail defaults are kinda too bright, is it really how it was supposed to be?

>>10736604
Entirely subject to your tastes and display, if you think it's too bright, change it.

Nah, those are bots as well.

trying to set bindings for Ashes. whatever I set Weapon Zoom to, the lantern takes the same button on its own
it only pulls out the lantern and I can't seem to get it to zoom, if that's what it's supposed to do

>>10736781
every time i connect to the brutal one the player there disconnects

>>10736804
That's intended. Weapon Zoom isn't actually a zoom or aiming mode most of the time. It's just Extra Action #1 that a lot of mods use for different things. So Ashes is using their own name for the function in its keybinds but pointing to the same one as Zoom.

saved by the bell

>>10736843
Yknow I never actually tested if that function worked because fuck staying up till 1AM but here we are now.

Is wrath going to be moddable? I figure it might provide a great base for more complex quake mods, at least ones that provide upgrades and hub maps and what have you.
I really like it so far but I wish hitscan weapons had any kind of indication beyond a muzzle flash. The shotgun particularly feels not very satisfying on account that I have no idea what the pellet spread is like.

>>10736891
>Is wrath going to be moddable?
The source code it out so yes.
However, there's already been not entirely ironic talk of Copper for Wrath, so I don't exactly have high hopes for it.

>>10736418
Judging by the replies you received I'll just try out Quakespasm or use Mark V.

>>10736897
What the fuck is copper and why do I keep hearing about it?
I'm reading the changelist and the changes feel like the most gimmicky "why are you even doing this" shit, at least Quake 1.5 added a kick and a grenade, and why no one decides to use AD as a base since it adds cool shit like projectiles on everything and the Ogre's having a hammer slam(easily one of the best ideas they could add to make ogres more dangerous but not bullshit) and the widowmaker.

>>10736604
Ironwail should be targeting vanilla; isn't it 1.0 across the board? If that's too bright, just halve it, then add increments of 5, 10, or 15 until you're satisfied.

>>10737047

>>10736897
>However, there's already been not entirely ironic talk of Copper for Wrath, so I don't exactly have high hopes for it.
Some of the changes in OP's post would likely be part of a "Copper for Wrath".
>>10736903
Slightly modified vanilla Quake that gives more capabilities to mappers and alters behavior of enemies in subtle ways. What I personally enjoy about it is its the Nightmare mode, which actually feels like Hard+ for Quake instead of what vanilla provides.

hey guys, i recently came back to working on a dm weaponset that has a weapon like the gauntlets of the necromancer from heretic (using sprites from that as placeholders actually) that attacks with a_custommelee attack. when i use it, that "automatic looking at thing youre hitting" thing doesnt stop after the target is dead. when i pull out the weapon and fire, it just instantly points the camera to the corpse of the first test monster. why is this happening?

>>10737180
I'm pretty sure A_CustomMeleeAttack is only intended for monsters, try A_CustomPunch instead.

have I been bamboozled or is there no journal in Ashes anymore (if there ever was one)? it's not on the image in the help section that mentions bindings, nor is it in the settings anywhere
playing the Enriched Edition

Am I back?
I can feel the minute long captchas, now.

>>10737196
worked, thanks.

>>10735879
Does any anon here know how to get transparent water working under Quakespasm?

I downloaded the lit / vis files from here:

https://quakewiki.org/wiki/External_Lit_And_Vis_Files

The colored lighting works but not the transparent water.

Any help would be appreciated.

>>10737202
Your image is from Ashes 2 rather than Ashes 1. I don't think Ashes 1 had a journal.

>>10737240
Pretty sure that's a console command now. Something r_wateralpha 1 or 0.5 or something.

>>10737249
Thanks that worked.
Default setting was r_wateralpha 1

>>10737265
I deleted the vis files and tried the command again to see if transparent water works without the vis files, i can confirm it does not.

You need the vis files and then set the command r_wateralpha 0.5 for transparrent water to work.

For reference.

Alright I know someone said you can type skill 3 in console to get to Outlander difficulty immediately in Wrath, but is there some other variable in the config or save profile files I can edit to do unlock it "legitimately"?

I'm paranoid it's gonna reset whenever I load a map or save and really don't want to hinder my experience.

Why do devs pull this shit? I don't have fun unless the game murders me full force and I'm not playing a 22 hour campaign twice within any short period of time to get that outcome.

>>10737229
Beebz? In my /vr/?

>>10737401
It wasn't even locked in the demo builds.

>>10737401
>I'm paranoid it's gonna reset whenever I load a map or save and really don't want to hinder my experience.
Quake 1 and 2 remember what skill you set so long as you save after typing skill x in console, I'm sure it's similar to Wrath. But you'd have to reset the map for the spawn changes to load in.
>Why do devs pull this shit? I don't have fun unless the game murders me full force and I'm not playing a 22 hour campaign twice within any short period of time to get that outcome.
I think it's plenty challenging on hard, but I understand being strapped for time. Personally I can't wait to go back in on Outlander.

>>10736604
Another question. With Doom it's understandable to use lower resolutions because it has a lot of low-res textures/sprites that can't be scaled.
Is there any point in using lower resolution in Quake? I can't say it looks that much more old-school than the native display resolution.
Plus it starts to look a bit smeary since LCD displays is a shit technology and can't display non-native resolutions without shitting the pants.

>>10737437
I use r_scale for Quake. Original game + mission packs + old mods look like sex with it.

>>10737445
Not that anon. I like Vanilla Essence for GZDoom Dooming with the VE resolution set to like 300p, but r_scale set too high on Quake makes it look really ugly, and set more subtly makes it look everything's covered in vaseline. More power to you, but r_scale definitely doesn't look good on Quake for me.

I thought I'd really dislike the Wrath weapons but I'm actually really enjoying them so far.
I do kind of wish the Blade was a keybind of it's own just so I can make platforming easier for myself but I can see that leading to spamming the charge during fights as a pseudo dash which wouldn't be great.

>>10737486
>I do kind of wish the Blade was a keybind of it's own
Couldn't you make a macro for it? Like the opposite of how QW players switch to the axe.

I feel like im going crazy. I cant find a single doom 2 ost in youtube that actually sounds like what i hear in nugget/gzdoom

Is this what you're looking for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_LfE6gV9ok

>>10737486
bit of a tangent, but in tf2, i briefly switch to the powerjack between shots with the dragon's fury and panic attack while jumping to always maintain a speed boost and get two ranged shots in instantaneously by the time i land
so, the knife in wrath is second nature to me. i'm having fun flying around like a spastic during combat and comboing ranged burst weapons together, and with all the jumpscare high damage enemy spawns right in front of you or right behind you, i'm pretty sure you're meant to do this when playing blind to stay safe

if i had to complain, it seems they nerfed the retcher's alt fire A LOT to where it doesn't delete cacos even after 2 3 shot barrages, when it used to take just one 3 shot barrage or one 3 shot barrage + 1 normal nade in a later build. and it fires slower between shots.
the shotgun alt fire still feels super clunky and seems to have falloff/blockmap issue that prevents full damage at long ranges when it really shouldn't. i either want it to charge slightly faster or not cancel upon releasing m2. it's unnaturally slow and i find myself letting go of m2 too often before it finishes. if right click i want that slug. gimme that slug. i'll switch weapons if i misclicked, just gimme the fuckking SLUG SHOT please

super fast nailgun is an improvement over the previously redundant double fire m2 unless it deals less damage per shot than primary fire i can't tell

>>10737532
>the shotgun alt fire still feels super clunky and seems to have falloff/blockmap issue that prevents full damage at long ranges when it really shouldn't
Are you sure? I haven't had any trouble with the shotgun alt fire unless one of the slug veers off to the left or right, but that's just RNG because often both slugs go right where you aim.
>retcher nerf
Yeah I'm 100% certain they did that to make sure players actually use the ore cannon thing. I kind of like the retcher better, the ore cannon chews through ammo too quickly.

>>10735879
Is there a more portable version of ZKart that can be used with PrBoom or something? Interested for a project

>>10737540
i stood on a narrow ledge around lava dancing back and forth to dodge 500 projectiles from a single cerberus cacodemon hellspawn i was having a sniping duel with and charged up 7 slugs and they all hit and he didn't die until i just charged toward him and shot him normally
at that moment i decided the alt fire can kiss my ass

>>10737532
The alt fire for the nailgun has really wide spread so it's useless at range.
>retcher
Seems like anything green in this game was nerfed heavily. The big toad guys are barely a threat now when they could nearly instakill you in the demo.

>>10737561
oh yeah i also noticed that i shot one of those exploding green zombies when i was super close to him and didn't take damage
but within that same range i DID take AoE damage upon shooting one of the basic blue projectile guys to death when he exploded
the dedicated kamikaze fodder unit isn't even the best kamikaze fodder unit lol

i had no problem with the damage of the toad guys but the bouncy nature of the death projectiles + them looking identical to ammo drops + them doing more damage per hit than when the unit was alive really slowed the game to a halt.
you can make an enemy strong without forgoing basic game design, and you can nerf them without castrating them. i don't even think i've been hit by a toad yet in the release version.

>>10737540
The alt fire for the ore gun is shitty and its ammo pickups are tiny.

>>10737557
>i was having a sniping duel with and charged up 7 slugs and they all hit and he didn't die until i just charged toward him and shot him normally
That's definitely abnormal because that has never happened to me. Pic related; the wretch (guys with cannons in their mouths) go down in one shotgun blast, or both slugs hitting. Both slugs hit this guy at this range, he died. Gonna find a heretic (cacodemon) and test that too. I'm 99% sure you're not seeing one of your slugs missing the heretics.

>>10737584
I'm now 100% sure you're missing. Heretic went down in four slugs, two shots each hitting the target.

The shotgun's charge shot shouldn't have any inaccuracy for how many downsides it has. Its biggest benefit comes from the game being so stingy with ammo.

>>10737605
I disagree. The invaders dropping only slugs instead of shells like in early access is great because the shotgun was simply too good. The slugs have always been randomly inaccurate since EA and that made sense then and it makes sense now. If you want to hit something at range, change your weapon.

>>10737612
But you have to give up so much time for your shots to just randomly veer off in random directions, and the projectiles are already pretty slow. I spend a lot of time just plinking at things at range with the pistol.

>>10737616
>But you have to give up so much time for your shots to just randomly veer off in random directions
That's part of the gamble with your supply of shells. Not to mention I'd wager 65% of the time they go right where you need them to go, double not to mention I've never run out of shells in any of these maps so far. It really just sounds like you're playing inefficiently.
>I spend a lot of time just plinking at things at range with the pistol.
Nailgun? Retcher? Ore cannon?

>>10737621
>Nailgun
Kinda useful, but not at extreme distances because its projectiles are slow.
>Retcher
Projectile drop
>Ore cannon
No ammo.

>>10737627
>Kinda useful, but not at extreme distances because its projectiles are slow.
Lol wut. I can nail a not-scrag across the map with the nailgun.
>extreme distances
Close the gap. Look man you seem like a smart guy but at this point I'm not sure what we're talking about; the game should accommodate you for making poor choices?

>>10737445
What >>10737460 said, it looks kinda weird. I assume it supposed to make the game more low-res'ish and crispy, but it also makes some things so blurry it effectively ruins the purpose.
On the other hand r_softemu is neat. 1 looks kinda weird with its "micro-pixels", but 2-3 is hitting the right spot.

And another question, I see some people mention they use vkQuake over Ironwail for AD. Is there any particular reason for it?

>>10737657
>vkQuake over Ironwail for AD. Is there any particular reason for it?
Ironwail doesn't support the fancy FTE particles that AD makes use of, while vkQuake does. A lot of people also just have better performance on vkQuake, especially with very high monster counts or in script-heavy mods.

>>10737657
>On the other hand r_softemu is neat. 1 looks kinda weird with its "micro-pixels", but 2-3 is hitting the right spot.
What the fuuuck I've never heard of this command. 3 looks great.
>And another question, I see some people mention they use vkQuake over Ironwail for AD. Is there any particular reason for it?
vkQuake is better for AD, but Ironwail is usuuually better for performances for big mods overall. vkQuake eeks out on certain machines however. Ironwail also has a really nifty mod menu that vkQuake lacks.

>I do kind of wish the Blade was a keybind of it's own just so I can make platforming easier for myself but I can see that leading to spamming the charge during fights as a pseudo dash which wouldn't be great.
I think at most that might annoy people who would expect it to function like most other “dash dodge” buttons. I also don’t think you’re invulnerable during the blade dash.

>>10737047
Good looking map, neat locations that make the theme. I noticed the knocked out stop sign on the pavement, funny detail.
But the SSG should be replaced with a rocket launcher, since there's many clusters of mid-tier enemies, they feel too slow to take down with the SSG until you get the plasma rifle. The SSG would make better as a secret reward.

I searched "arcane" and then Ctrl + F for "arcane dimensions" and "arcanedimensions." There's actually even a good few I missed because they're only tagged "ad," but that would require actually checking them individually as some use both "ad" and one of the two aforementioned tags.

The plight of the gameplay mod developer right there, half of people don't bind your keys and the other half think the keys should be other keys.

How well does FTEQW handle Hexen 2? I only just found out it can do it at all.

If freelook bad then why cacodemon fly up?

>>10738065
Like using the FTE port for Hexen 2? It was kind of weird. I found that even with autorun enabled I could still hold the “run” key for even faster running. I only put a few hours into it before deciding I wasn’t in the mood for Hexen 2.

Is there anything interesting about Duke's PS1 conversion mod other than one bad episode, great soundtrack and cutscenes? It's pointlessly inferior. It doesn't feel like Doom PS1 and Duke N64.

They only fly up to get over obstacles or get up to your level. When you get close enough to autosome at them they fly down to your level anyway. They will never fly up to avoid your shots.

Nah. I was using the crosshair and saw the red hit notification color at least 6 times. So even if only 1 pellet hit each time, it should've killed him, but didn't.

On that matter, it is really, really, really stupid to make a long range precision alt-fire have any manner of random spread/a chance to miss outright. Like really fucking stupid. I feel like I'm already wasting time when it works properly.

It'd be 99999% better if it fired one perfectly down the crosshair, and the other at a 0.5-1° offset to the left or right, so that it only misses far enemies, but does so reliably to where you can gauge the damage you'll do at a glance. Abhorrent that it doesn't work like this already.

It's gonna be one of the dumbest questions this thread has ever seen, but how the fuck do I use autoexec.cfg in Quake?
I put it in id1 folder, it does nothing. I put it in vkQuake.exe folder though that's not the way, nothing. I try to add it to shortcut as -exec "full path to autoexec.cfg", as +exec, nothing.
It has a single damn string

and it's doing nothing.
I hate it when the most obvious and self-explanatory features are never actually explained anywhere ever because the look so obvious and self-explanatory and everyone being using them for decades so it's automatically assumed it's as easy as non-mouth breathing. Yet I somehow can't make it work.

Okay, turned out none of vid_* values are working in autoexec.cfg.
Except vid_filter "1", which is working. For some reason. But none of the others.
In two decades of community wanking to open source code in every imaginable way no one ever mentioned it anywhere.
In fact no one ever wrote anything significant about autoexec.cfg in Quake, even though it's a universally beloved feature that exists for almost 30 years already. Or it's just google being so shit that it can't find a single damn thing about it, which is equally possible.

>>10738673
Try seta vid_fullscreen. Autoexec commands are different from in-game ones for some reason.

>>10738906
Thanks, tried it and some other options, but nothing worked as well, both in Ironwail and vkQuake.
Also adding "vid_restart" to the end of autoexec.cfg does nothing as well.

>WRATH
Easy 9/10 for me. My only complaints are that, one: it's disappointingly easy at times, even on Outlander. I'm fairly convinced that devs and playtesters had no idea just how overtuned some of the weapons and artifacts are; I often find myself full of ammo and artifacts and having to waste them to make space for more. Two: it's easy to get lost in a few levels.

I made a video showcasing the weapon combos (that I know of) that turn every big-hitter into a joke.
They all involve the Lance, as it is the best cost-benefit weapon in the game.
I forgot to include the Symbol, but the combos for it are about the same as for the Oppressor, if I recall correctly.
https://files.catbox.moe/6wy1hs.mp4

Useful cheats if you want to test anything (Shift + Esc to open console):
"maps" will show you all maps, including the intro level.
"map [mapname]" to warp to them and be given a pre-determined amount of weapons/ammo/artifacts based on the hub.
"changelevel [mapname]" to bring your current stats with you.
"map itemstest" will take you to a test map with all weapons, artifacts, keys, and a few decorations and switches. It's a test map.
"impulse 99" to be given all weapons and artifacts.
"ent_create artifact_revelation" to spawn the artifact that reveals all secrets within a level.
"ent_create monster_[monstername]" to spawn an enemy.
Using cheats does not disable achievements.

Significant bugs I'm aware of:
Monster count is busted on every level that you pick last. It'll often show a number beyond 800 for some reason. It seems this issue has been fixed for the next patch.
It seems that there are enemies out of bounds in a few levels. I'd avoid trying to go for 100% kills until they claim to have fixed everything related to monster spawns and count.

I'm glad it's generally considered to be pretty good, even if it's not too difficult.

Huh? Where did you hear he was "pushed out"? All i ever saw was that he stepped down voluntarily.

Not that anon but what I heard was he was being difficult with the publisher, chasing perfectionism on minor details when they wanted results.

In Quakespasm is there a way to add or share ammo if I am hosting a co-op game?

No, that would require a QuakeC mod.

>>10739595
Huh. Assuming thats real, it was still delayed by over a year without him, so i wonder whether the publisher misjudged or if it wouldve been even more protracted with him at the helm.

I realized how busted "weapon combos" and animation cancelling is from level 1(which for me was the mourning wood) and made a self imposed rule never to use it. Shotgun's just too good without quadrupling its rate of fire.
Same with artifacts so far, they're just far too easy mode.

>>10739679
Not particularly. I admire his passion but Quake didn't have much coherence with the story in its manual and the environments we are shown. But they don't really need to cohere because your mind can fill in the blanks about every level being some castle or regiment of forces under Quake's command, or a general of Quake. Wrath is a little more nebulous but I didn't mind.

more like fandumb

Alright I really do not like the Retcher.
It sort of has an arc, and sort of doesn't. When I aim it like a grenade launcher, I miss. When I aim it like a rocket launcher, I miss. I have to do a system check every single shot to figure out where I should be clicking because of how unnaturally the projectiles arc. Doesn't help that every enemy spazzes out left and right up and down on a whim.
It's also terrible for AoE damage and can't even kill some fodder in one grenade when the damn knife can.
Add more arc. Buff single shot damage so it kills a zombie lady in one hit. Buff barage damage so it kills a caco in 5 hits instead of 7. Make splash damage mirrored for all adjacent targets. Make its sticky projectiles detonate sooner. Then, after all that, it won't suck.

>>10740119
It might be the roughest weapon in the game. It's pretty good on the Mourningvale, when it's your only big hitter and overdoes the Shotgun in DPS, but it gets overshadowed by the Slag Cannon, Lance and Crystallizer when you enter the Eventide Wastes. By then, you won't find much use for it other than to save ammo for the other, better weapons.
The Slag Cannon is a Nailspitter made for large numbers of big targets; the Lance is a better single-target that you can combo with anything and use at any distance; and the Crystallizer is a better crowd-control weapon. The Retcher is comparatively a jack-of-all-trades (minus range), containing all of these features to an extent, but ends up being a master of none.
It's disappointing that its AOE damage is so weak. But they give you so much ammo for it that you might as well spam the alt-fire when necessary.
My proposed way to "better" it would be to decrease its total ammo capacity, give the player less ammo, and make the AOE do a lot more damage. But then it runs the risk of completely outdoing the Crystallizer's AOE feature.
It might be fine to leave it as it is. Optimizing a game with 9 weapons, all with altfires, is close to impossible; the fact that only one of them finds itself in a rough spot is commending.

His fans only really have an interest in games if they've been shoved in their faces, they don't go looking for them themselves.

Eventually he'll work his way down to having to cover some crap like Quiver and they'll fall over themselves for that too.

Is the Blade of Ruination the actual workhorse in Wrath? It's such a great weapon compared to
>the pistol, which seems to suck despite sounding very meaty and its triple shot feeling awkward
>the shotgun, which the primary fire is good but the altfire is meh(mainly the way you use it) and doesn't have that much ammo compared to other game's shotgun
>nailgun(I didn't catch the actual name), which also suffers from ammo issues but its full auto *2 mode is really fun to use up close as a lawn mower
>the retcher which just seems to either suck shit or be really good depending on the time of day

Think about it, huge damage(I've seen the charge attack take out the Caco equivalent and the big toxin guys(Incubus standins?) in one attack), great mobility, dismemberment, it's a bit shit against the toxic zombies, the wretches and the smaller flying guys but for everything else it's really god damn good.

KillPixel dumped a bunch of early WRATH development pics on the 3DRealms discord server back in 2019-2020. I was one of the suckers following development closely since the beginning so I downloaded them.
I just finished looking through all his relevant messages and downloading whatever I hadn't yet. It's too big for catbox so I uploaded the zip to mediafire. https://www.mediafire.com/file/xozb7nh4r46z6ye/WRATH.zip/file
He also posted a bunch of unlisted videos from his youtube. According to him there's 600 of them. Shows some very early gameplay footage, from back when the game was supposed to be sprite-based.

>>10740882
I prefer the shotgun for more regular usage, but the ruination blade has potential to be ridiculously strong. I don't feel that bad when I'm out of ammo in Wrath because of it.
I think Eternal is fun because it took many of the systems from 2016 and expanded upon them. It's still the same lockdown arena setup with overly linear maps, but the combat itself is incredible.

>>10740882

>>10740882
Revolver isn't useless at all. It's good for picking off single targets at medium range. One to two primary shots and one secondary shot will kill any low tier. It's mostly to save Nailspitter ammo, though, as that weapon is just a straight upgrade but with less ammo.
I don't know how you're possibly running out of shells. I often have so many that I need to make space for more. And I don't ever use the blade for killing. The alt-fire is whatever; it's supposedly good in small rooms with low tiers because the bullets ricochet? Never cared to do that, though. I mostly use it on Mourningvale for picking off far-away enemies when I'm low on nails.
Nailspitter is great for crowds of low tiers and far-away targets. Its secondary fire is a panic button if you get surrounded by Heretics or Widows, or for finishing off enemies with big hitboxes on low HP.
Retcher is kind of meh as I said. It's better than the Shotgun for picking off low tiers in small groups, but other than that, it's completely overshadowed by the later weapons.
Another feature the Retcher has is that you can plant cysts like landmines, but it's very niche.

idea for a custom enemy

If you mean trespasser, it's not hitbox and you should be able to dodge if you are already moving when he shoots. I mean, you can see the trails of the bullets.

>>10740920
>Another feature the Retcher has is that you can plant cysts like landmines, but it's very niche.
The landmines can also be shot to explode dealing damage, but again it's so weak compared to the effort you're going to go through with it.
>>10740919
Wew.
Is it still a beta thing or is it out?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HihLuHXdZ4
I just remembered this mod, specially because of the intro.
Reminds me of GamingGargoyle a bit.

I feel like the balance in Wrath has changed to a more glass cannon type. While some weapons feel a bit weaker, overall your damaging potential wasn't this high but I also feel the player being noticeable weaker to attacks and of top of that enemies are more agressive. It's more rustless and less comfy now.
Anyway, can someone confirm if it has a secret level?
>>10739590
I barely use artifacts so it feels weird to see someone running out of these. And Soul tethers, on my fourth (I think) map I had a dozen of these, playing on Hard.

>>10740439
Nobody does this.

>>10741037

>>10739681
This sounds like you were able to bypass the shotgun’s “backpack reload” feature or at least reset it.
>>10740973

now yea i guess 'just torrent' is the answer.

>>10741049
>This sounds like you were able to bypass the shotgun’s “backpack reload” feature or at least reset it.
Not really, it's just that I thought the long reload of the shotgun was meant to have you pick your shots but if you can just switch to a different weapon to keep dakka until it reloads and switch back there isn't much of a point to me. I didn't realize it was a backpack reload though, I genuinely thought it was an animation cancel the first time I did it and then resolved not to do it anymore.

>>10741159
If it’s a growing trend, having long weapon cooldowns or refires just so they can be “comboswitched”, I don’t know how I feel about it. I might feel less weird if it wasn’t revolving around a double-barrel shotgun that had a fun reload animation.

>>10741231
I don't like it because it just makes you want to spam your highest DPS options as quick as possible, and gives automatic guns less of a purpose. Unless it's handled like Babel or something where you can switch away immediately but have to reload it later.

>>10741231
Not really a "growing trend", this goes back to Quake.
If they made it so that you have to wait for the reload, I would simply not use the Shotgun nearly as much. It would probably make the Retcher my go-to instead.
Also gotta understand that the Shotgun is not your main weapon like in Doom. It's just another tool in the box. The game often has massive firefights with dozens of enemies at once, the Shotgun can't keep up. It's a clean-up weapon, and largely only fit for the calmer sections.

>>10741237
Babel was ahead of its time establishing “staged reload” mechanics before it became popular to name them as such. I would have never thought of such a brilliant way in balancing the shotguns (upping the pumps pellet count to 10 also helped).

>>10741280
>Not really a "growing trend", this goes back to Quake.
Quake has instant weapon switching but none of them “cancel” and you can’t shoot another weapon until the previous one is done firing. Instant weapon switches are not backpack reloads.

>>10740430
Personally, I still find him overall enjoyable to watch occasionally in comparison to other channels in similar field. Although lately (or always, and only noticed it just now) Civvie has been stagnating instead of trying something new to keep things fresh. Playing it safe, but at a cost of presentation.
>>10740882
I think I like DOOM Eternal more than DOOM 16 in terms of gameplay. While all those tutorials and mechanics can be tiring, they're just an extention of what was in the previous game and you can similarly avoid them if you don't want to bother with it... The Ancient Gods, unfortunately, falls for the "Eternal is tryhard" meme.
If you're a fan of 2016's narrative... Oof, anon. Codex entries are shorter and suffer for the sake of modern fan service that dumps down what was formed before. As for the DLC's... It all drops into the abyss.
But yeah, game is fun and I recommend. There's enough to pick what you want to enjoy the hell out of it. Even Battlemode can be entertaining and I'm not saying that just because I managed to bully a few rookie a couple of times for final rush to get Blood Bath achievement. I suffered for this beforehand.

Should I use a source port if I wanted to play Quake 3, or the vanilla game? If so, which source port is the best for multiplayer?

>>10741610
>>10739125
Gotta say I think this game looks fantastic, despite Civvie trying his hardest to sell it as "weird jank". I must thank him for bringing it to light for me, though. I hope some autist decides to give this game a better sourceport.

>>10741621
Nightdive has released this game in the past, the issue is that the source code for this game is lost, unless marph pulls some no bullshit sherlock and discovers the source code and uploads on GPL.
In fact, what happened to those source code leaks that involved retro fps from a while ago? i remember seeing Alien Trilogy into it too, but it was the PS1 port

There's a ton of them but it's mostly really small channels who don't exclusively do old FPS games, with the odd ones like Ross Scott.

> I only know of is the aussie and he's too insufferable for me to listen to.

I assume Onemanshow (SMOD Redux and bsnooch creator) stopped paying the fee, but the guy's a ghost. Very thankfully, a kind soul backed up absolutely everything before bsnooch went down

Maybe crank out that video on SMOD I should have made five years ago.

Saved, thanks for sharing. I never tried SMOD myself before but I might do that now.

Since we're talking about Half-Life, I'd like to even things out with some good news. Field Intensity got an update bringing LD models as the new default, among other things. That (and the AI revoice mod) was a good enough excuse for me to replay it.

Whatever makes you work, I don't think there is a right option. You just get some cards and play them the best you can.
Also the knowledge you will get will be useful in other fields, probably.

Is there a proper wiki or spreadsheet yet that shows all of the numerical values for enemies and weapons in Wrath yet? I need my numbers.

I just noticed Freedom has some useful texture that Doom doesn't, like SKINTEK*. a compatibility pitfall!

I don't know if the "Coachgun" was the old shotgun or not, but it did a lot more damage.

Surprised there hasn't been much discussion about Wrath on /v/, so I thought I'd come here.

I'm about done with episode one. The game is okay. Levels feel like they drag on just a bit too long (the cathedral level went on for fucking ever) and the game loves throwing the same 3 enemies at you over and over. I also find myself having to cycle through weapons frequently in order to not run out of ammo and there have been several times where I've found myself completely dry. Some encounters feel like they were balanced around artifacts and I'm not crazy about that, but I suppose that's why it gives you so many of them.

Hoping it picks up. I did buy it to support this kind of thing but not gonna lie, it really does just feel like a fancy Quake mod.

>>10743013
Coachgun.txt and its _pos.txt seem renamed to "revolver" in the final build. It also doesn't look like they nerfed the shotgun, values seem the same between both builds.
I'm not too crazy about the game but I'm surprised how easy this has been to mess with. Even the skins and hud elements are all just loose tgas, I don't need Noesis to pry them apart.

>>10743023

Playing it a bit more, I genuinely want to consider a mod for Wrath building on the idea of a completely melee weaponset where the altfires also serve as movement options.

I'm starting to hate the mandatory platforming for secrethunting in Wrath and it's only my first map at episode 2. Tight spaces doesn't mix well with the inertness of Wrath physics. At least I'm giving some use to save tethers I guess

>>10743645
You can immediately kill your momentum midair in Wrath, it's really not that bad. But maybe I'm just missing the hardest secrets.

>>10743648
I guess I have to improve my timing, I guess. Oh, and I don't know how to feel about pic related. It's basically cheating

>>10743659
>It's basically cheating
So is pretty much any artifact except for (arguably) the life siphon.

>>10743659
I'd rather this to looking up walkthroughs. Personally I think it's a genius idea simply for that. I'm sure most achievement hunters do, too.

>>10743659
The second I realized some secret sectors are placed in a really stupid area(Undercroft for example has one early on a hidden ledge somewhere, but it's not the artifact. You have to go to the far edge of that ledge for the secret to register. The mire had a couple of these too.) I'm no longer ashamed to say I soul tether and use it to figure out where the missing secrets are and then reload at the end of every level because I end up missing like 1 or 2 secrets every time.

desu I'm not really enjoying Wrath so far, I play it, I can see that there was obvious effort and passion put into it, it almost clicks but never does

You just feel too bouncy or something, the weapons don't have enough impact when you hit an enemy and most of the basic enemy types arent all that fun to fight

>>10742341

>>10743051
>>10743140
Shame. The enemy roster, I think, is the game's biggest problem. The tougher enemies are just annoying to fight and it loves throwing the same 3 weaker enemies at you over and over and over every level. It makes the game feel very repetitive.

>>10743726
>The weapons don't have enough impact when you hit an enemy
I know what you mean, but I can't put my finger on why. The weapons are punchy and have good sounds and enemies will often explode into gibs when killed. What's missing?

And yes I agree on the enemies. It is a roster of enemies that are largely annoying to fight and a couple varieties of them are overused to a ridiculous degree.

>>10743775
The most annoying ones for me are the shotgun guys. They deal a lot of damage, have fast projectiles, and don't have any glowing parts to make them obvious in dark areas.
