Happy to see you diligent as ever cloud anon

What's the best map or wad that is based on original Doom 1 but if there wasn't hardware limitations at the time? I don't mean things like E1M1 remade in Doom Eternal or whatever and it's a 1:1 remake, I mean something like a close remake or maybe even reimagining of E1M1 if it were an actual hanger like how the original devs envisioned it before technical limitations of the time? Now that I think about it, does such a thing even exist?

>>11450817
Giving it some thought and looking at some of the other maps, I've decided to work on a version that leans away from the teleport shenanigans. It'll take some time though.

I'll let everyone decide which version is best preferred from there. Although my personal preference is to keep the current Map 29.

Fraggot somehow got blacklisted on doomshack prior to the upload, yet it's easy to find more explicit things stored in there for who knows since how long

Nobody cares about Unreal.
Nobody remembers Unreal.
Unreal is basically forgotten in the classic fps zeitgeist.
Nobody makes content for Unreal.

Unreal sucks.

>>11453173
Unreal would be fun if the movement didn't suck.

>>11453173
Quake 4

>>11453173
Of course no one makes content for Unreal. They got Crystal Castles already, mate. What more do you need other than Crystal Castles? That being said, now that you've mentioned it, I'm curious as to what the release candidate means for UnrealEd improvements. Personally, I've never fucked with the thing after getting mortally frustrated by trying to unpack, edit, and repack something with ucc while having to navigate 20+ year old forum links buried amongst search results for UE4/5 tutorials instead.

Has VKDoom been abandoned?

>>11452034

I'm enjoying playing Half-Life 2 again for the first time in maybe 8-10 years, but goddamn, I don't remember the allied AI being this goddamn annoying. Be it antlions or rebels, they get in your way all the goddamn time, often when I'm moving in and out of cover, so they cockblock me from going back into cover, so I fucking die.

I hate having the allies around so goddamn much, but I don't remember hating them this much, were they always this bad, or did something break in an update?

>>11453159
MAP08 has had a few updates: https://files.catbox.moe/0f401n.wad

>619fe9d MAP08: More details, blood in the corridor
>ae8cbc9 MAP08: Add cracks, fix slime trails in toilet
also I recall you mentioning wanting replacements for MAP01, so I made this thing that literally just moves vertices around: https://files.catbox.moe/c60uf0.wad
if it doesn't seem good enough for inclusion that's fine. but I do have some more ideas how to make it more interesting

>>11453113
Yep, I even came here crying for help. Fucking Erkattann and its secrets.

>>11452034
Vertex Relocation BETA V7.1: https://files.catbox.moe/yfntys.wad

>>11453302
I didn't add that map01 before because i thought you said it was just for fun, not meant as an actual replacement. I added it to the beta now to get some opinions.
Honestly i'm not too keen on it and it might give people the wrong impression that the following maps will be just vertices moved around too, personally i feel like this would be much better for something like map31.

>>11453257
One of them got up to me when I fell back into a corner, and then I was fucking stuck. Thank god that a combine soldier had just enough of an opening that he could shoot the stupid faggot in the head, freeing me.

Seriously, were they always this awful? I don't remember yelling swears every time I had to put up with them back when the game was new, which was admittedly 20 years ago, but still.
>Oh no, I have to have the rebels around again, hey, just stay in this corner while I move on without yo- FINE, GET STEPPED ON BY A STRIDER YOU FUCKING RETARDS, I'M GLAD YOU'RE DEAD

>>11453209
>This is a strange method of fishing for recommendations.
I'm finally getting around to Strange World, oldie but goodie so far. Not a huge fan of spinning skyboxes though, reminds me of getting a headache from Ter Shibboleth's second level.
The community around it is very quiet, kind of comparable to Q2 pre-remaster.
>>11453407
>Seriously, were they always this awful?
They weren't always the best and I don't know if they made them any worse with the recent updates. Feels like "allied AI" started becoming a shooter trope around that year as well.

Why does Freedoom exist and why does it look like shit?

>>11453439
for the sake of it desu, some people thought that swapping all the copyrighted assets in doom to make it completely free was neat. they just weren't good at actually making those assets.

>>11453474
Some of the sprites are pretty good nowadays, some I think are better than vanilla. Like the torches.

>>11453439
>Why does Freedoom exist
autism + ego
>why does it look like shit?
autism + no skills

>>11453074
You are not supposed to aim up or down in any non-gzdoom wads and that's 90% of wads. Not on all gzdoom wads either.

>>11453439
I think it's cool that it exist to remind Bethesda that the modding scene is legally impossible to kill. What comes to Freedoom's content itself, the maps are quite good and it does have at least cohesive theme on it's graphics. It just has those insectoid aliens instead of demons. If you don't compare Freedooms to Doom, and play them like Chex Quest or HACX, as another Doom engine games, they are actually good games.

>>11453439
You know it's a slow week when the old bait starts to resurface.
>>11453474
>they just weren't good at actually making those assets.
It's less that and more it being a free software project, good assets get evicted and bad ones get kept in because somebody in a position of power likes them.

>>11453550
>It's less that and more it being a free software project, good assets get evicted and bad ones get kept in because somebody in a position of power likes them.
Just fork it and use the good ones. The asset doesn't stop being free to use just because some guy replaced it.

>>11453439
>make a freeware iwad just because
Fine, I guess.

>I think that yet another sidegrade for something already completed is the kind of contribution this project REALLY needs
WHY

>>11453515
I don't think FreeDoom matters worth a fuck on that point, considering that there exist full fledged TCs with original assets already.

>>11453550
Some of LilWhiteMouse's old contributions are rough as hell, like the Arachnotron, but then someone painted over the thing to make it smooth and clean, and now that's a good monster because it's based on a consistent 3D model. There was a few other examples like that, where someone repainted the Cyberdemon, but then that wasn't kept, I think.

>>11453598
>considering that there exist full fledged TCs with original assets already
Which ones?

>>11453625
Harmony, for instance, as well as Action Doom 2.

I'm mostly a DSDA-Doom fag and I'm setting up GZDoom to play some mods, is there any way to not make the "allow jump" and "allow crouch" options reset to default every time I boot up the game? At least with mouselook I can disable it in the mouse options.

>>11453678
I'm not sure you can, because that stuff would be set through a WAD's mapinfo lump and GZ will load it no matter what.

You can change whether jumping, crouching and such are allowed under gameplay options in case you didn't know. Disable the simple option menu and head to gameplay options.

>>11452072
Romero's E1M4b and E1M8b are the obvious answers.

>>11453678
set sv_jump 0
in the console

>>11453696
That's what I do but it resets to default every time I leave, even after pressing "save current settings"
I guess it's not a big deal when it's set in mapinfo, it's just annoying to load up vanilla doom 2 to test some stuff and I'm able to jump and crouch all over.
>>11453715
will try, thanks

>>11453678
in autoexec.cfg that rests in your gzdoom folder put
>sv_jump 1
>sv_crouch 1
0 is default (use MAPINFO), 1 is off, 2 is on. Autoexec is the only way to automatically set noarchive CVars for new playthroughs. They are still saved to save games so they'll only reset when you start an entirely new game.

>>11453678
The "allow" options are for overriding MAPINFO rules. If you want to disable jumping and crouching in general, you want sv_nojump and sv_nocrouch.

>>11453726
GZDoom CVars are a mess. There's
>sv_allowjump
>sv_nojump
>sv_jump
and they all seem to affect the switch in Gameplay Options, with the last one being the "true" CVar that the option uses in MENUDEF.

>>11453678
like the other anon said, you'll want autoexec.cfg (put one next to exe).
coming from DSDA, you'll probably additionally want these there:
compat_invisibility 1
compat_crossdropoff 1
compat_missileclip 1

I also have stuff like "gl_lights 0" in autoexec, so when I want to run something like Ashes, I can add "+gl_lights 1" to the launch params, and it will only affect that specific wad.

>>11453734
honestly for how popular it is I expected gzdoom to be a lot easier to configure, dsda-doom felt user-friendly in comparison
>>11453757
ye I think making an autoexec that I can edit at will is gonna end up being my best bet. thanks.

>>11453759
>honestly for how popular it is I expected gzdoom to be a lot easier to configure, dsda-doom felt user-friendly in comparison
You have to keep in mind that GZDoom has two decades worth of bullshit crammed into it in comparison to the relatively fresh DSDA port. There's a lot of ancient stuff that never got changed. Ending up with this mess is inevitable if you never clean house. UX/UI is also a challenge on its own and the GZDoom devs are too autistic to do a relatively "straightforward" user-friendly menu. What's logical to a programmer isn't necessarily going to be logical to the average user, which is only compounded by how many god damned options GZD has.

>>11453696
>>11453715
>>11453725
>>11453726
>>11453757
You are all wrong.

>>11453678
For the 834567345th time, anything changed in "Gameplay Settings" is not saved, because graf thought it would be funny or something.
Do NOT use Gameplay Settings for this. Go to controls and unbind jump/crouch, problem solved forever.

>>11453782
I'd call you a faggot but that's actually a viable solution so you're a technically correct faggot after all.

>>11453791
Retarded ports require retarded solutions. At least I'm not graf.

>>11453782
you can't unbind compat zdoomisms.
them not being saved is exactly why autoexec is the solution, it gets applied on each launch.
if you don't like autoexecs, you can also do ghetto shit like: bind w "+forward; dmflags 4521984"
but there's really no need.

>>11453782
A faggot who's right is still a faggot.

>>11453796
And if you want to play some wad with jumping enabled you have to go and edit autoexec again, and when you're done with the wad you have to edit it yet again, and then again every time you want to play another wad with jumping enabled after playing without it.
Or you can just open settings and change a single option.

>>11453807
no? you're describing my example with gl_lights. I never have to enter options again, but you do.

>>11453439
>why does it look like shit?
Nobody is willing to take the reins of project manager and do some QC work.

>>11452606
what game/mod?

>>11453837
That's Max Payne with Matrix mod.

>>11453839
Good old Fart.mpm.

>>11453839
Now Anon, you're not bamboozling that guy, are you?

>>11453837
Malice Refined for Quake - specifically a map I've been working on for the next update when I'm not busy procrastinating.

>>11453782
>anything changed in "Gameplay Settings" is not saved
Yes it is, it's saved to your savegame rather than your settings file, but it is saved.

>>11453325
>I didn't add that map01 before because i thought you said it was just for fun, not meant as an actual replacement. I added it to the beta now to get some opinions.
no worries. I just didn't get any feedback

so i fucked up something with the options in GZDOOM and had to reset everything which lead to some interesting quirks with some weapon mods i use...
>halo doom evolved = enemy damage is set to zero
>trailblazer = enemy & player damage is set to zero
>project brutality = no enemies spawn
...now are these quirks caused by GZDOOM or is there a reason why these would be the default settings? everythings fixed now but i'm kinda curious about them.

>>11453848
How much do you care about things like trim textures and having geometry pop out from the walls? I'll make an area, think it looks too basic, and then try sticking little bits of geometry on everything to the detriment of encounter space.

>>11453883
maybe complevel?
I think if you run ad mortem in dsda under boom compat you'll have infinite ammo and no sounds. could be all sorts of weird complevel stuff in gz.

>>11453889
>trim textures
If the texture set and room layout allows, then I always try to use them. Biggest thing is to have logical starting and stopping points for the trim, which can be difficult if not factored into the initial design of an area.
>having geometry pop out from the walls
Depends on the size of the room and what you're doing in it. Gameplay should always come first, so if something unreasonably impedes the player it should be removed.
If a space looks too basic, try solving the problem with lighting before adding geometry.

>>11452034
This platform with purposeless compass arrow might do well for one the vertex relocation screens. As demons are left stranded on it, the only place intact, they desperately try to tell the directions apart among the otherwise unrecognizable shifted environment; Another sound concept for a screen is the doomguy being a heedless demiurge, pulling bunch of linedefs as if they were a mere cobweb. Simple solid color background sounds good enough for this one, maybe it could be a title screen?
>.t despicable idea guy

>>11453439
>Why does Freedoom exist
so as to have a libre licensed TC to work off of
>why does it look like shit?
zero art direction

>>11453963
Given that shit assets are held on to and good assets get cycled out for new ones for no good reason, I would say that the art direction for FreeDoom is in fact clinically retarded, there's people making decisions, and it's the fucking wrong ones.
They should fucking lock down on the good assets they have now, then make it a priority to jettison old garbage, finally replace placeholders, and finish decent stuff which isn't complete (like the Arch-Vile).

Would you, anon?

>>11454004
wtf Kim Kardashin is in Doom now?!

>>11454004
0/10 no tail

>>11454003
for the life of me I can't figure out why they replaced the SSG with whatever that ladder thing they have now is

>>11454015
RIGHT? The SSG they had before looked good and had a nice and distinct animation which really set it apart from Doom 2's original SSG, it's a really good set of sprites, and then they went and replaced it for no apparent reason.

>>11453173
Unreal is a 3D computer graphics game engine.

>>11453173
Yeah, I never liked Unreal, movement feels floaty, and the levels look like lego buildings.

I though I'd put in this skin for Episode 1 just because "haha," but I'm gonna be honest, "Thick Beta Alyx" looks drop dead gorgeous. She's definitely not the mountain of cellulites I often see people call "thicc."
I prefer slim and petite girls the most, the kind of small woman you can pick up and put up on a tall piece of furniture just to be a dick, but I just cannot lie.

>>11453439
cuz it's bootleg

>>11454004
>furdoom
>everything looks like a rubber doll, no actual fur in sight
No, I wouldn't.

>>11454023
they also still have those godawful spider mastermind and SS sprites for some reason

>>11454004
No. Ridiculous shit like that is what comes to mind with me when I usually see people say "thicc." Also I'm not a furry.

That said, I'll never disrespect anyone for making a complete and consistent character graphic for this kind of game, that shit is hard work so I can only congratulate the author. Pre-rendering the characters is a thousand times easier than doing it really OG, like iD did back then, naturally, but it's still not trivial.

>>11454023
Since those sprites are designed for a free(as in freedom) project, couldn't someone else just make a fork that reimplements them?

>>11454003
That's a lot of words to say it's a free software project.

>>11454050
Yep, you could even sell it if you wanted.

Uhh, good job boys.

>>11454015
Supposedly there were mild issues with ownership and they also wanted to make it more in line with the older version instead of one that's in every other mod.

>>11454229
Lmao, even when I used older versions of freedoom with the SSG sprite it's based on, I just replaced it with the one from KDiZD.

>>11454229
oh yeah that'd do it. it's extremely important that you either don't convert existing images, or you make sure the images you use as a base have a compatible license. I recommend wikimedia commons

DO NOT run "srb2kart.exe" and expect to be able to join the server.
If you don't have a 64-bit machine/OS for whatever reason: Copy the contents of the 32-bit folder into the main folder

How to join (The longer and harder way):
Download version 1.6 of the game: https://github.com/STJr/Kart-Public/releases/download/v1.6/srb2kart-v16-Installer.exe
Get the custom client we use: https://github.com/NepDisk/srb2k-neptune/releases/tag/Neptune2.4.1
Get the mods: https://macgu.fun/repo/srb2kart/ (or just download them in-game, it should be a lot faster now)

>>11454334
There should be just enough ammo if you fully plunder the cave system on the right side. Plus all the shot gunners for the final area.

That being said, you should have more than enough if you go through the secret area or even just the left side’s progression.

All considered, I’m feeling the open endedness is causing more issues than I anticipated. So I will adjust that and retool the ending arena.

Also, for the pillars, are you referring to the ending arena?

>>11454356
the pillars everywhere. for example into one area with cacos, knights and imps where you can jump up to one secret (which doesn't do anything?). I was able to deal with it by running into the area instead
yeah plundering the cave does make things things a bit easier afterward. I guess one could go there first then into the left area and the aforementioned caco+knight area
I'm also generally irritated by issues related to the last few days' snowfall, my car being frozen over and having to bike home through 10-20 cm of snow. maybe I'm taking it out on your map. let's see what other anons think

It's advertised as 'Currently only for The Ultimate Doom'. Work on Doom 2 assets will start in due time.
As for the shotgun, I've passed your suggestion onward, and it may be looked in to.

Expect an alteration of the shotgun's reload in the next release, along with some polishing and other fixes.

That sounds like the area after the chaingunner ambush on the left side. It’s possible the rocks gave more elevation into a secret area than I realized.

I don’t think you’re alone in your frustration, so I take that as a sign that I need to adjust things.

I have literally no idea what you're talking about. I've been encoding in vp9 exclusively since 4chan allowed it and I've never had any problem

I think Douk has the most well rounded combat of the big three Build games. Though Shadow Warrior is still my fave.

>>11454765
I'm playing it right now, basically for the first time since I never got past the second level because we weren't allowed to play much back then in computer classes.
It's weird. It's >>11454756 way too blurry no matter the resolution, the aiming feels like shit, weapons sounds are weak, combat encounters are okay-ish, the secrets make Eternal feel like some Call of Duty. And can't say I like the music so much so far.
At the same time weapon and monster designs are kino, weapons themselves are fun to use, levels are neat and interesting, all the interactivity and easter eggs are really nice.
It's a mixed bag but it's only the first episode.

>>11454748
Actually I just tried making vp9 and h264 versions of the same video at the same resolution and filesize and h264 looks better for certain things (the reflections in this video looked kinda jerky in vp9 but they move smoothly in h264
I dunno if x264 has improved over the years but it actually looks pretty good
Unreal to stay related to the thread

>>11454817
>.mp4

what the fuck

>>11454819
That's what I've been saying. There is literally no reason to use vp8 for fast encoding now that h264 is allowed. Even hardware h264 encoding like NVenc looks better than vp8

>>11454817
For some reason I always feel Quake2/HL1/Unreal look better with sharp textures but Quake 1 looks better chunky and crispy like Doom.
What's with that? Shouldn't Quake be grouped with the 3d games?

>>11454961
>sharp textures
*blurry textures

>>11454961
its probably as simple as Q2 HL1 and Unreal were made with texture filtering in mind and Quake wasn't

>>11454961
Quake looks better unfiltered because the textures were designed for that. GLQuake wasn't a thing at launch
HL1 was probably designed with texture filtering in mind but for some reason I prefer to play it unfiltered now, even though I didn't play it in software mode back then

>>11454973

Interesting thing to open up with.
Most annoying thing about the level is that it forces normal Doom weapons, which aren't gonna get culled when returning to the hub and just sit there useless until the next inventory wipe.

Still, the map is very nice and it's hard to decide what to screenshot.

>>11455227
It also (optionally) ends with a fuckhuge fight involving over a hundred revenants and hellknights each with multiple cyberdemons thrown in and an endless horde of weak zombies to top it off. That I forgot to take a pic of

How much of this is going to be noticeable to someone who has never played the game before? The damage related stuff sounds like the only real hinderance.

>>11455497
>The Butchers require much more Spray Can ammo to kill. (4 units of ammo in OUWB on Well Done, 9-10 units in B:FS)
>Spray Cans don't shoot through multiple enemies
>Voodoo doll autoaim is broken, Caleb shouldn't take self-damage if a character is visible on screen (anywhere above the lower 25-30% of the screen)
These are very noticeable. However:
>TNT has a larger blast radius
Most people who get into Blood just dynamite everything anyways.

>>11455507
I'm a shitter so I was just gonna play on lightly broiled with extra crispy enemy count
I assume that will negate some of the damage issues a bit?

>>11455518
>I assume that will negate some of the damage issues a bit?
Pretty much. This is the final cheevo though:
>Defeat the 3 Beasts of Beauty and the Beast (E6M8) in under 3 minutes on Well Done difficulty or above
If you can't just warp or level select there on Well Done you'll probably have to complete the whole episode on that difficulty. Unfortunately, that means having to play what's arguably the hardest level (E6M4 Aqueducts) on the second hardest skill setting, and the 'beasts' are arguably the most evil enemy in Blood.

>>11455541
assuming I ever git gud enough to play blood on well done I'd probably want to do a full playthrough on it anyways but something tells me that is not in my future
thanks for the info, anon

>>11455545
Anytime. If you ever get interested into mods, I’d recommend playing them through NotBlood if they don’t work through Fresh Supply.

>>11455260
Without gameplay mods I've never had issues with Ramp. It tries to reset everything when leaving a map because map makers like to forget to reset player properties like speed, freeze etc.
No clue about gameplay/weapon mods though. If a map forces default weapons on the player, that's a different issue (also the fact that ACS inventory functions don't work with replacements and GZDoom devs won't address it)

>>11455586
I've had bleed over from textures and stuff like pickup sprites, not unlike what happens about 2 mins 30 into this where the mapper is like "that's nothing to do with me" when a snake sprite from Realms of the Haunting just shows the fuck up.

>>11455339
Muzzleflashes next. Not much left.

>>11455450
That's because they did get more crunched. After I shaded them I pushed the sprites through a more limited color palette.
Though hopefully they're not too crunched.

>>11455697
It happens but it's not very common, and that video was released before the final version where all that stuff got fixed.

Anyone wants dm or coop on choco/crispy/woof/nugget? We can play vertex relocation for example

Nah I've had that kind of thing happen on release builds, but it's understandable that some would slip through.

>>11455743

Yes, they're not hard, they've got nothing on the adventure games from the time.

>>11456157
Both parts of Monster Hunter LTD.

I'll go first with the level that sounds the most annoying to play - i.e. the dedicated sewer map.

>>11456173
so what is this? Also is your starting weapon some kinda infinite ammo pistol your guy is holding gangsta style?

>Looks like the focus on sewer sections is not as key as it was promised to be by the map title

>>11456178
Malice mapjam from last year, yes the starting pistol has unlimited ammo but you need to reload it every 10-12 shots fired (also it's not so reliable on harder skills compared to Easy - where you could beat the whole base game with it without using any other gun)

There seems to be a tiny bug with this remaster that mapjam is based upon that I can seldom replicate - you can still use weapons with insufficent ammo one last time before they get disabled (and the gun's ammo counter for a moment becomes "999" before it becomes unusable)

>>11456157
Unrattled.

>>11453039
NO!

The opportunity presented itself honestly

>>11456085
I don't think it gets better. Also all new content is just ripped from the repository. Since there was over 100 better wads released this year, I won't use my time for this wad. Only reason it got any attention was the namebaiting. AI makes better maps.

>>11455056
Speaking of muzzleflashes

>>11456246
>Only reason it got any attention was the namebaiting.
Bating is the only reason anon keeps posting about it too, because for a while people were pissed off about it but now nobody gives a fuck.

>>11456227
Not gonna lie, I lost my last interest in Quake after Tronyn died. If Dwell and Mjolnir ever get finished, I'll play them. But their future looks grim.

Now I remember why I had to cheat in the original Malice's penultimate level to get 100% kills on Hard.

>>11456257
I don't think it ever pissed me off. If anything the wad deserved a mockaward. The shitstorm was funny to follow. What made it funnier was the fact that it's creator acted like some official business representive even he created just a shitty mod and added some of his fetishes to it.

Now Zugnaex was mod that pissed me off. Great thing that it was nuked to hell.

>>11456270
It was just the same effect as Doomslayer Chronicles except with more torture porn, random mod gets overhyped by somebody wanting to seem a lot more skilled than they are.
>>11456273
For the most part it technically did nothing wrong, but the store page had Doom screenshots and the launcher used a bunch of fonts and shit they definitely didn't have the rights for, also they never produced their source changes despite promising it.

Still it's a good thing it went under in less than a week, it'll make others think twice for pulling that shit.

I haven't been around for about a year and a half
Any good new wads? Ideally megawads or at least like, one episode's worth of stuff. Want something to play with the some random weapon mods.

>>11456134

Sure, it's easy as fuck and telegraphs almost everything you need to know, all you need is a functional brain.
The only time I got stuck is when the game introduced pushable walls, but perhaps it's mentioned in the manual. I found them by myself eventually though.
>2
No. Fuck Wheel of Ages.
Other than that it's easy too.

>>11456260
Don't forget about the DrakeMod also never being finished now.

>Dat feel when the phrase "freindly fire" becomes both literal and yet also stays a misnomer...

>>11456294
Well some of the biggest megawads that have been released have been 30 Years With Doom, Eviternity 2, Pirate Doom 2, Necromantic Thirst, Realm Of Chaos 2 and Curse Of Blood. Some other cool megawads include Road To Hades, Frozen Heart, TNT Overcharged, Hell Frontier, The Quinary Conumdrum and Freudian Slipgate 2.

Doom also got a new official expansion, Legacy Of Rust, which has 2 new episodes, new weapons and new monsters. And then of course there is Sigil 2.

>>11456323
I am familiar with most of these, I'm specifically asking about anything NEW

>>11456326
You said you haven't been around a year and half. I listed releases that have been released during a year and half.

But if you something really new, the maker of Fall Of Triton released new psx-like megawad Purgatory few days ago. Rusty Drill also gets it's rc1 out this weekend.

>>11456336

I'm gonna treat this phantom ammo bug more as a blessing than a curse - if only just because it doesn't make your ammocount drop below 0, unlike some other instances of such bug occuring I had previously manged to encounter could cause to happen.

>>11456339

>>11456173

>>11456341
>phantom ammo bug
Are you playing with Malice Refined or the jam's included code?

>>11456326
Obviously you're a wad connoisseur so go play Gnome Hunters.

>>11456360
The version that was included in the mapjam download, might explain why some other things are also a bit fucky - like how the big Shell mmo pickup boxes give you not only 1~4 more shells than expected, but also tend to grant you 2~10 Uzi/Minigun bullets for some reason.

>>11456393
And the other thing is how when you swap between weapons using the same ammo, you sometimes get back a single unit of said ammo just by changing weapons - might be related to the ghost ammo bug described earlier.
>is this poster texture a referrence to something?

Can't get thru the next map cause it keeps randomly giving me a CTD whenever a vent grate that needs to be destroyed gets blown up.

I've played the demo I got from some pc magazine disc.

>>11455090

>>11456553

>>11456468
1998 is fair assumption considering that the demo says that and its files are dated 1997-1998.
I think full version is a lost media if it was ever actually released. Apparently developers only ever sold it over the web and when asked to re-release it refused, even though they allegedly got the copy.

The entire Mjolnir team has lost the morale to continue the project without Tronyn, he was the brains behind the whole thing. Besides the recently released Marooned which was meant to be a secret map for the next release, what has been released of Mjolnir is sadly all that there will be.

Dear god I don't want to do that again.

Way too reliant on the AI RNG rolling in your favor and not spamming attacks at you, especially at the end when you're surrounded by archviles with no way to lose them all and you need to hit 3 switches at opposite ends of a very large and exposed room full of high-tier corpses. No archviles and it would've been a genuinely fun level towards the end.

Also this, you can just say that Marisa is a pedophile, optionally pederast, if you prefer to be specific.

I hate how modern corpo sanitized internet has fostered this obnoxious quasi-sanitized speech where people are trained to circumvent these lemon scented filters, which really takes away weight and clarity from some very serious and heavy real life subjects which need to be discussed in earnest.
I especially hate this garbage being brought in here, he can fuck off with that faggotry.

Mods like Unreal Evolution can help as well. It's still likely too niche: It's not a shooter for shotgunning blobs of monsters with quick switchspeeds. The "bullet sponge" Quake meme is a bigger reality here though it also comes with more interesting enemy behavior.

>>11457485
Marisa has done quite a lot more than merely having unsavory and illicit relations with a 17 year old and being an obnoxious sex pest to Term. The more I learned about him, the more I've got to conclude that he's simply a monster and always has been, and the interactions I've had with him, in hindsight, now make me deeply uncomfortable based on what I've learned since.

Here's one nugget, that 17 year old is neither the first minor he has had improper relations with online as an adult, nor the youngest. If you're coming here hoping to score sympathies for this socially maladjusted communist pedophile, then you are sorely mistaken, I don't care if he's a good programmer, I will never forgive him or accept him ever again, and I will do what little I can to fight to try to ensure he is NEVER welcomed back anywhere.

>>11457527

I'll take a shot at it next year. I doubt a sub 2k channel will change the situation, but I've been trying to really branch away from just being the guy who does Doom weapon showcase videos.

Most probably an issue of rights, either the ownership or publishing rights of the intellectual property of the game's content itself, or the licensing to third party code (like sound libraries or something).
Ergo, the devs would have to negotiate with and then probably pay money to someone to be able to publish the game.

No idea why the QuadShot got axed during Unreal1's development, why the fuck would you invent a 4-barreled shotty and never utilize it?

Here's the quote from them
>The PC version was released in 1998 and sold for several years. Although still owned by us and legally protected, we no longer sell the product
From what I understand, they were approached by some game preservation hobbyists via email and were asked to share or sell a copy.
If they were asked about it by some storefront dealing with old games, like GOG or Zoom, or by a publisher dealing with old games like Nightdive the answer could've been different.

Also apparently the placed (not dropped by the blow-torch dudes) Punisher ammo sometimes give you both an extra shell and any 1~4 bullets, but only if you already got the Punisher in your arsenal for some reason (this doesn't seem to happen if you don't have it yet).

>>11457543
I'm leaning towards it having my favorite level variety of these later 90's shooters. It does a solid job of going back-and-forth between high tech and medieval/ancient, linear and otherwise. It's been a nice contrast after lots of grim Quake 1 and 2.
>>11457612
It seems the quadshot got replaced by the sexy, lovely flak cannon during development. I'd find that 'unacceptable' if it was any other weapon on the roster.

>>11457612
>Do any of these bugs got fixed in the final version of Malice Refined?
The first of those is fixed. The upper body entity was originally using the wrong movetype, and changing it had the added benefit it making it use position interpolation on modern engines to better match where the legs are.
I'm not aware of that problem with the cell pickups. I can't seem to get it to happen as you described, so maybe I fixed it by accident or forgot. Do note that the difference between the small and large cell pickups isn't as obvious as it could be, so you might just be mistaking one for the other. Pic related.

I wasn't joking here >>11457451 - you really do need to perform that crazy shit for getting 100% of the secrets on this level.

Also the pesky "Error: Object trigger in cilpping list" CTD bug now decided to prevent me from killing any Barracudas in the last level of this mapset. oh well. . .

>>11457649
>Do note that the difference between the small and large cell pickups isn't as obvious as it could be, so you might just be mistaking one for the other.
I am not *that* much retarded to not discern between these 2, and I will use QSs instead of Ironwail to see if the same problem still occurs there as well.
Considering how the Stinger RL still is treated by the player weapons logic as *not* an explosive gun and will gladly switch to it once you ran out of minigun ammo, I doubt the MR code used in this mapset is free of issues by itself.

>>11457519
> quasi-sanitized speech
>lemon scented filters
admit it. You wear a fedora and refer to yourself as a gentlemen.

Does anyone still play doom deathmatch passionately? I think its cool how DOOM seems to be a game that is timeless. It truly seems to be a game that anyone of any age can potentially enjoy. I seriously put it up there with chess

And here's concrete proof that I wasn't lying - I'd like this map greatly if not for how the huge one-way lift can't return to it's starting point, making a certain secret at start of the level you can't access without either a RL or the HoverBoard impossible to return to / get back on track without noclipping.

>>11457897
And the final reward for all that tedium is a gun made for killing yourself more reliably than your foes. and a free dance-show from low-poly strippers
On which you can test your new gun - but not without consequences

>>11457617
Got the game installed, damn. It brings me back to that time when graphic cards had those sick metallic drawings on their packages, this game is a vibe and a half. That said I noticed some issues with the sound and input, namely some of the sound environments clearly aren't working correctly on modern hardware.

Is there a particular sourceport I should use, anon? I could look but you seem more knowledgeable about this already, plus it helps not to sift through whatever might not work.

>>11457920
>sourceport
Unreal has patches instead. 227j is officially experimental, but iI've had no issues with it.
https://oldunreal.com/downloads/unreal/

>>11457920
Yeup, what >>11457956 said. I've been testing 227k as I was running into issues with RLcoop using earlier versions.

Hey all, I've been half-assedly working on a Doom map set for about two years now. It's nothing sexy like some here, just using standard vanilla textures. But I can't for the life of me figure out how the heck to change the sky texture? I know you have to utilize Slade somehow but I just don't get it. Hopefully someone can chime in here to a newbie mapper.

>>11457993
By default, the sky texture is picked based of the map's number. If it's MAP01, it will be SKY1. So you need to replace that. This is done in SLADE.

If your new sky is 256x128, like the vanilla, it'll be the easiest. You will simply need to create 3 lumps in this order
>PP_START
>RSKY1 (The actual texture, use convert tool to palette it)
>PP_END

If it's different size, it'll be a little harder. You'll need import TEXTURE1 and PNAMES lumps from DOOM2.WAD as well, drop the new sky texture between markers, add to PNAMES and edit SKY1 texture inside TEXTURE1
You can skip PNAMES if you replace RSKY1 instead, but still need TEXTURE1

>>11457956
>>11457984
Thanks anons. Knowing this will make my life easier, it's also a single download (more or less) so people not yet aware of Unreal won't have to fumble with this or that sourceport being better.

>>11457993
Basically, sky textures are, well, textures. What you need to do is find a new texture, convert it to Doom format and mess around with either textures or UMAPINFO/MAPINFO so it displays for a given level.

See: >https://youtu.be/AHhihED8xRU

MAPINFO is for ZDoom, UMAPINFO is for PRBoom-derived ports such as Woof and Nugget. See picrel, MAPINFO is more or less the same, some syntax changes and it has a bunch of features relevant to ZDoom stuff.

>>11457527
The enemies in Unreal are only bullet sponges at the start of the game when you've only got like 5 automag bullets and the rest of your arsenal is shit like the stinger.
Later when you're swimming in bullets and non-shit weapons you can assravage anything but those gay mercenaries with invulnerability shields.

Do people still do that with Quake? Seems like the Sock from Arcane Dimesions hasn't updated his site in 5 years. Doubt anyone in the industry looks at anything outside Unreal and Unity portfolios

>>11459337
Just fyi, in ZScript it could look much more sensible like this (posting pic because I think [code] doesn't work outside of /g/).

>Christmas Jam
Map Center announced one months ago, but quietly took the announcement down with seemingly nobody there even asking about what happened. I was actually looking forward to participating in that, so that's a shame.
They're doing an unrelated Quake 2 jam instead, but its premise is revealing some unfortunate true colors so maybe this was for the best.

Slipseer actually is doing a Christmas jam, but it's with a mandatory jump boots gimmick... https://www.slipseer.com/index.php?threads/christmas-jumper-jam-announcement.607/

>>11459450
>Do people still do that with Quake?
I think some of those people have either given up or moved onto Godot engine projects. It's still a phenomenon, but it has died down somewhat.
>Sock from Arcane Dimesions hasn't updated his site in 5 years
I wouldn't lump Sock in with all the wannabe game devs who jumped on the Quake train with Trenchbroom and have Artstation accounts full of Quake map screenshots.

>>11459459
It's not for GZDoom so your efforts with Zscript proselytizing are utterly useless.

>>11459459
Could reduce it further by using MagicBallLines.Size() instead of a constant.

>>11459472
Understandable.
>>11459473
Only dynamic arrays have methods afaik. You could instantiate and fill a class member dynamic array in a (Post)BeginPlay() or something, or recreate it on every use attempt inside Use(), but that's pretty ugly.

>>11459490
I've used .Size() on fixed arrays for years now. It's just a native method and isn't exposed to ZScript.

>>11459493
Well fuck me. Gotta love ZDoom wiki not saying anything about this, and ZScript is what, 7 years old now? And for some reason it has two docs, one on ZDoom wiki and the other one on GitHub.
Usually it at least goes that something is mentioned and unexplained either on the wiki or in the gzdoom.pk3 ZScript files, and from there I can go and check the source code to figure out what some mostly undocumented shit does.

>>11459450
>Doubt anyone in the industry looks at anything outside Unreal and Unity portfolios
And you are probably correct. Classic level design, i.e. when you design an actual level and not a sequence of cinematic spectacles, is probably the least demanded skill set in big industry.

>>11459497
Meant to say it's not defined in ZScript, unlike the dynarray stuff which have their own file.
The only documentation for Size() I could find is
>https://zdoom-docs.github.io/staging/Api/Basic/FixedArray.html
>This is a compile-time constant.
That probably explains why it's not defined.

It’s so fucking funny that of all the long haired effeminate retro fps devs none really trooned out (romero gets nails done but that’s supposedly a rock star thing) - instead, that honor went to the most greasy, balding, disgusting fat lardass who was famous for holding burgers in his work desk, and that got him the most middle age balding man nickname possible - Burger Bill

>>11460504
Quake 1.5 also runs on FTE and Zircon.
And consider Quake Combat+.

>>11460525
Elaborate on those ports, please. I'm kinda illiterate when it comes to Quake stuff, I pretty much only ever use Ironwail these days.

Which are the best DBP wads?

>>11460543
FTE is the other project by Spike (also known by his work on Quakespasm-Spiked). Extremely versatile, supports a ton of games (though everything except Quake 1 is kinda miserable, especially Quake 3), used by those that want to make games in Quake engine, but much more faithful than ZDoom for an example. Setting it up just to play some Quake can be a pain in the ass though, but if you hate how Darkplaces feels, it might be a better fit for you.
Zircon is DarkPlaces Mark V essentially. Baker decided to take a mess that is DP and make it more friendly to both regular Quake players and mod makers. It's still in beta, though.

>>11459421
Ah fuck I forgot to reply. I got the icons sorted out now, and I think these'll do the job. I've also been fuckin around updating the help screens, I'll post those next.
