-TerminusEst13, of well known Samsara fame, is developing an incredibly awesome Metroid mod called "Metroid: Dreadnought"; keep an eye on these threads for more info!

-CACOWARDS? SURE, HERE! http://www.doomworld.com/20years.. Feel absolutely free to share your thoughts about the works chosen for this edition. And man oh man, they surely left a lot of stuff to discuss related to the decisions made on some wads...

-Doomsday received a brand new update, now you can play with the Oculus Rift! Go download Doomsday here! http://dengine.net/

-An anon put up recently a neat website for everyone to upload wads, go check it here (if your antivirus gets paranoid, do not worry, it's a false positive)
http://pseudo3d.org/wads/

-December 10th marked the 20th anniversary of the release of the shareware version of Doom; there were tons of stuff and special events that were done for it, if you missed 'em all, feel free to ask for links to them!

How do I find the Doom colour palette when designing new DECORATE actors?
I want to keep it in the limited colours

> Your mapping skills will always be shit

>>1324589

The Doom palette is like, the second lump inside the WAD, I think

I really hope that anon who was working on that Ultimate Doom 64 mod is still around with us

>>1324595

thanks, but what's the difference between COLORMAP and PLAYPAL?

>>1324684
COLORMAP is a table of values (that correspond to colours in PLAYPAL) that

COLORMAP is a lookup table for what colour to display in a specific brightness. COLORMAP doesn't actually contain any colours, only values that correspond to colours in PLAYPAL. You don't need to mess with COLORMAP.

>>1324532
You model her and everything too?

>>1324596
Yeh. But what're'ya'gonna'do...

Could always start working on one yourself.

You know those multipart RARs you get from warez sites that distribute shit on Rapidshare and whatnot?

Why do people take those multipart RARs, put those RARs in another RAR, and then distribute that.

Why not extract the RARs and then reRAR it? The filesize will be smaller and it'll be much easier for people to deal with.

>>1324906
Or just use fucking 7zip.

>>1324906
Wrong thread.

>>1324910
I never said I wasn't using 7zip. You still have to extract the RAR'd RARs to unRAR them, the RARs are just unRAR'd to a temp directory if you only open them from the 7zip browser instead of extracting them to a specific directory.

>>1324918
I know, I mean they should really just be using 7zip instead of rar.

>>1324932
Why is RAR still so popular? 7zip is objectively better.

- Better compression ratios
- Better performance
- Free (not nagware)
- Available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux

Though I suppose it's the same reason why Brutal Doom is more popular than Brutal Doom SE, or any other mod really.

Fucking mancubus.

>>1324951
Have you considered training with Mancubi to memorize their patterns? In controlled environments projectile pattern memorization is simple.

Just make some boxes in Doom Builder with different numbers of Mancubi in different position and teleports to link them.

Become gud.

>>1324880
no, it's ada wong from re6

>>1324953
Dude the mancubus was straight above me.

>>1324961
Become gud.

Hell to the yes

i think we can all agree this version is objectively the best

There's no way in hell I can reach the state he had when he did the last update regarding the project. He had all the weapons plus some extra already done. A lot of levels were pretty much in a finished state but weren't enough for an alpha release, and man, they looked gorgeous; he completely nailed E1M1.

If you were around the time when The Ultimate Doom 64 project was being developed (which was during the early days of /doom/) you wouldn't have suggested me that.

>>1325068
With that kind of attitude you'll never finish a Doom 64 mod

>If you were around the time when The Ultimate Doom 64 project was being developed (which was during the early days of /doom/) you wouldn't have suggested me that.
Not him but this is bullshit, I smell a publicity stunt inbound.

>>1325072
>I smell a publicity stunt inbound.

nah, not really. Also he posted a link to a downloadable video somewhere a long time ago. Pretty sure foolz should have it, it was a sendspace link

And trust me, I am not quite fond of the "blueballing" strategies some people like to apply when coming to mods and projects.

>>1325071
Fuck you.

>>1325081
>Pretty sure foolz should have it, it was a sendspace link

lo and behold http://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/1056093/#1059654

Sadly the link doesn't work anymore, BUT I do have a copy of that vid. It showed E1M1, E1M2 (with a new weapon) and E2M4 (I think?) which was used as a weapon showcase (I'm telling all of this to prove I'm not lying and also for those who downloaded that vid too to verify I'm telling the truth)

>>1325082

Nice try attempting to look like that was me

>>1325090
Makes me think MAP29 - specifically, the room with the tall switch and the imps around and above it - for some reason.

Is this going to be a MAP29 that isn't fugly?

Hey, who played "the floor is lava" when they were kids?

http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=740432#p740432

Okay so recently I bought everything in the Doom series off of Steam, I was wondering if I can run Wads and play multiplayer and such through steam? I know it's probably a really stupid question, but I've been wondering for a while

>>1325071

speaking of bad attitude, at least he's not this dude

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post-hell/66898-moral-crusaders-can-fuck-right-off/
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post-hell/66790-watch-this-now/
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post-hell/66746-its-christmas/

(also I stopped wondering why there hasn't been any progress regarding Evil Unleashed; not that I expected them to complete the project, anyway)

>>1325135
>run wads
Yes.
>play multiplayer
No.

You're better off pointing Steam to Doomseeker or ZDL or something.

>>1325135
You're best off ignoring Steam entirely and downloading Zandronum for multiplayer and ZDoom with a launcher for singleplayer mods

>>1325135
Should have just pirated the games like everybody else. I've heard the steam version of the games are difficult to use mods with, or something.

>>1325205
>Should have just pirated the games like everybody else.
or been alive when it came out and kept your copy, or have built a time machine

I was wondering...

why didn't Sunder.wad win a cacoaward?

It's beyond glorious

>>1325214
because the gameplay is boring
I went through a huge slaughter map period and I have to say, it just wasn't as good
the only things I liked about it was some of the level design and that one level where it had traps in it, that one room with the chaingunners, crushing ceilings and platforms you had to run across, that was enjoyable

>>1325214
It's not ever in Doomworld.

>>1325214
Slaughtermaps are not for everyone.

Sunder didn't do anything really special by Slaughtermap standards either.

>>1325229
*on

>>1325231

I think its a bit harsh to just call it a run of the mill slaughtermap. it's a mass killing wad, but the levels are much more beautiful and the enemies much more spaced out than kill x99999 monsters in a square box

>>1325248
There are lots of slaughtermaps that aren't just killing huge numbers of monsters in a square box. They aren't all Nuts.wad

Sunder really didn't do anything special from a gameplay angle.

>mfw I want to make some doom maps but have no inspiration

how do i sloped floors

and how do i added decorations?

>>1325294
Look up some tutorials. Decorations are so retardedly easy I'm surprised you're asking. Sloped floors are easy as shit in GZDoomBuilder, so if you're not using that, get it.

>>1325263
Get inspiration.

Just appreciate good levels and then it will come to you.

>>1325334
pls tell me

pls

>>1325362
hit 't'
right click anywhere. choose decoration. place decoration.
go to /vr/
spoonfeed

You're welcome.

>>1325386
Um.

Not exactly what I meant.

How do I add NEW decorations?

That's what I meant. Like drawing a new decoration and putting it in the game.

Also another question: how do I set it up so I can use those special Skulltag/Zandronum weapons? Like the grenade launcher.

>>1325398
Oh boy! A Thomas the train mod! I can't wait to run other demons and shit!

>>1325401
SLUMP
SLADE

>>1325398
choo choo motherfucker

>>1325398
NEW SAMSARA CHARACTER

why are there so many furries and bronies on the zandronum forums?

Do all forums suck these days? So fucking sick of seeing this faggot with his dreadlock wolf.

>>1325413
Same shit in the ZDoom forums.

>>1325413
I've wondered about that a lot myself, and I figure it's because Doom appeals to pretty much any kind of person.

I don't know why these people parade that they're furfags or bronies, but most of them don't seem to be obnoxious about it.

How do I make bridges? I click bridge mode in GZDoomBuilder but it just says something about linedef groups.

>>1325413
>>1325416
>>1325421

>>1325425

Is anything about those posts unbelievable to you?

>>1325430
I don't think that's what he's getting at, after all, I don't think the post timer allows posting that fast.

>>1325398
Maybe it's just me but I always found that show fucking creepy.

sup? Wanted to discuss doom?

Report and ignore shitposts

check out these funny maymays xD

>>1325424
Fucking hell. You need to make a dummy sector.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rsLrwFlhME

OK seriously I need help, I'm having trouble adjusting from Doom Builder 2 to GZDoomBuilder.

1: How do I make sloping floors.
2: How do I make bridges.
3: How do I add those sweet Zandronum/Skulltag weapons like the Grenade Launcher?

>>1325445

>>1325435
The old way to tell if someone is samefagging is back to back, 30 seconds. There's a good chance that they haven't figured out that it changed.

>>1325453

Thank you >>1325451 for answering my second question.

>>1325453
You don't add new classes in doombuilder, you need to use a wad editor for that. Fucking. SLADE or SLUMP or something.

Just go look up some tutorials. Google is always there.

>>1325451
HOLY SHIT IT'S DR PHIL

>>1325459
I poked around in the GZDoombuilder folder and it has a configuration for Zandronum, and it shows those weapons, but when I load it up the icons in the thing menu are just question marks.

>>1325468
That shouldn't be a problem, as long as you place the thing, GZDoom should recognize it when the map is running.

>>1325484
I'll make a test map and place a grenade launcher in it.

would it be possible to beat strange journey using only the demonicas?

>>1325487
That's not a grenade launcher!

That's not a grenade launcher at all!

>>1325492
Wrong demon-killing game, son.

But excellent taste, my nigger.

>>1325492
Did someone make a Strange Journey WAD or are you way lost?

>>1325493
What are you talking about? That's the Skulltag grenade launcher.

>>1325398
ALL ABOARD THE JELLY TRAIN

>>1325493
Huh... well that's odd.

Are you running it through Zandronum, or is the grenadelauncher Thing in your .wad? Because if there's nowhere for the game to read the Thing from, it won't be there.

>>1325484
>>1325487
>>1325493
it probably isn't there because you've not loaded a resources wad or aren't loading it with zandronum but I could be wrong

>>1325505
I'm using Zandronum alright.

What wad would I have to use?

>>1325508
Skulltag actors and data.

>>1325508
one with the weapons probably!
I honestly have no idea, it could be because it's skulltag stuff... they did change zandronum kinda

>>1325503
DON'T YOU TRY TO RUSE ME, YOU... YOU RUSER, YOU.

>>1325507

See >>1325508
What wad would I need?

>>1325515
I tried loading the skulltag wads, and it works, but I also get like 50 error messages.

whoever did that example wad, the Grenade Launcher as-is can also be found in Realm667

How do you get Zandronum to save errors?

Okay, I have no skills (or time for that matter) but that lost guy made me think of how neat a Strange Journey WAD would be.

>Elemental shotguns to take advantage of weaknesses
>Demon allies
>Demonicas with different stats allowing for some different types of playthroughs

>>1325525
You had me at elemental shotguns.

>>1325528
Which is almost as good as elemental grenade launchers.

I love multiple elemental types.

>>1325525

>elemental shotguns

the idea of different ammo types makes me so hard it hurts

>demon allies
>allies
>DOOM

faggotshit

>Demonicas

i can only assume this means demon chicks to shoot with firebreath rounds, in which case i approve thoroughly

>>1325538
The Demonicas are the suits the SPESS MEHREENS use in Strange Journey.

>>1325534
How about elemental BFGs?

>>1325398
>>1325496

Why the fuck I did this

>>1325551
elemental plasma rifle and I'm sold, maybe there's a random chance that during the streams of plasma it'd become an elemental version or something
I didn't play strange journey too much before my game died

>>1325498
>>1325498
sorry, wrong thread
though an SMT based wad would be pretty cool, maybe some strife stuff were un-alarmed enemies could be hired and such.

>>1325551
Just give me multiple elemental types and I'm probably going to be sold on it.

Swords, spears, shotguns, pistols, revolvers, chainsaws, whatever.

I fucking love element swapping.

>>1325556

OH WOW

>>1325556

>>1325556

>>1325556

>someone accidentally posts a question about the SMT in the thread
>/doom/ starts brainstorming ideas for SMT wads

You so best, /doom/.

>>1325561
Someone could take up that Pokemon Doom mod and tweak it to be more SMT-like.

>>1325570
That cup always bothered me...

>>1325595
>someone fixed it

Thank you, Internet. That was bugging me for the longest time.

>>1325602
It's kinda a hack job, but you're welcome.

sagin offtopicin

>>1325036
Nice! Comparing the two I really like what you did. I'm having a hard time choosing, so the plan in the meantime is for Redhead Mel to be an alternate skin once I finish her player sprites. Regardless, the scars have been retconned as being on her the entire time, so now she has them in her "default" look too (no freckles though).

>>1325556

>Not having the Sodom avy in the train car

>>1324592
>tfw able to make pretty stuff but can't do gameplay for shit

Someone give me a layout that I can turn into pretty looking generic techbase wad #9001.

>>1325678
Maybe watch some Deathmatch videos for different games on YouTube and pay attention to the map and how it's used.

Could even sketch some basic map shapes and include some elements like intersecting areas, ledges, stairs, etc.

>>1325678
Recreate counterstrike maps as techbase maps.

>>1325678

I have a deathmatch map for Metroid that I've been meaning to do for a while but I keep getting distracted with coding.
If you want a layout, here.

>>1325678
I have the same problem.
I love detailing and shit, but I don't think I'm very good at making maps for gameplay.

>>1325721
Find someone who likes making bare maps and team up.
Be an unstoppable duo of mappers.

>>1325595
AAAAAAA

Where's the noclip?!?

There's this massive Call of Duty Trolling culture and there's nothing like that in Doom that can compete with the tidal waves of fan-created content in the video realm.

When can we expect Zantrolling to take off?

>>1325763
Call of Duty trolling videos are fuckin' stupid, except for those few videos of Obama playing games
>Obama, IN THE HEEZY!

>>1325763
>and there's nothing like that in Doom

Which is good because it's completely shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67izH1Sj0ns

See this?
See how unbelievably shitty it is?

So, does anyone have any swag looking centered sprites? Something based on a real weapon?

Any kind of rifle, pistol, or submachinegun.

www.gamespot.com/articles/doom-co-creator-making-virtual-reality-games-for-oculus-rift/1100-6417008/

Industry veteran John Carmack, who co-created esteemed franchises like Doom and Quake, is working on game projects at Oculus VR, the team behind the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. The news comes from an Engadget interview with executives at the company, who confirmed internal game development is happening at the outfit.

"[Carmack's] working on a lot of exciting tech," Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe said. "But, his heart and soul and history certainly lies in the game development side."

Carmack and his development team are working on unannounced software that will highlight the Oculus Rift's functionality. "You gotta eat your down dog food here, and develop internal content also," Iribe said.

Carmack quit id Software in November to take a full-time job at Oculus VR.

He explained that over the next year, Oculus VR will add a number of game development-focused positions to its careers page. "Pay attention to that page and you'll see more and more game developers showing up," Iribe said.

Oculus VR is also working with third-party developers for new software, and has even hired former Electronic Arts veteran David DeMartini to lead that charge.

"When we catch on to a nugget that seems like it should become a full experience, we may end up doing it ourselves. We may end up putting it out and working with a third-party studio that does," Iribe said. "We've actually started to engage with third-party studios like that through the relations group, the publishing group, as well as our own development."

Lastly, at CES 2014 this week, Oculus VR showed off its latest Oculus Rift prototype. Called "Crystal Cove," the unit offers improved resolution from its 1080p OLED screen. The 3D headset's most impressive innovation, however, is its new real-position tracking system that utilizes an external camera and promises to eliminate motion smearing.

What was the hardest wad you've beaten?

>>1325261
Sunder is better than 99% of slaughter maps.

>>1325938

ZDCMP2, I guess.

I'm really happy with how the Space Pirates turned out.
Only a few more enemies to go.

>>1325986

Damn, someone just showed me this thread. Thanks for all the support for AGDQ.

Unfortunately, I hadn't practiced a UV-max route for Go-2-It so it wasn't super fast haha also pressure situation!

Just glad that I didn't crumble under the pressure of the map 16 + 18 mistakes in plutonia.

>>1326117

You did good, man. Congrats

>>1325986
Will there multiple types of dangerous space pirates and monsters to fight?

>>1326117
You did a pretty damn good job on that race with the other runner for Doom 2.

>>1326117
you were cool

though you looked kind of cranky during some moments

>>1326117
It looked like you weren't going to win at first when that guy had like a 3-4 map lead.

It was real cool seeing you do those hard skips and succeeding very fast.

>>1326117
You did awesome. Your race against so-lame-I-already-forgot-his-name for Doom 2 was tense as hell, I thought you were going to lose for a minute before you skipped Condo like a fucking boss and he pissed away his lead in the Catacombs. Congratulations. That entire FPS block was the shit.

>>1326137

Yes.
Pic maybe unrelated.

>>1326140
I would have been cranky too. Spend all my time practicing Plutonia, not exactly the best wad, just so Clownshoes Faggottron can ruin my game by A. Making me lose five seconds because I was testing sound and B. buying a capture card that sucks.

>>1326146
That's neat.

I have no idea who that is

>>1326159
It's Master Chief, numbnuts.

>>1326159
weavel, space pirate commander and possibly a human prisoner brainwashed by pirates to give them their own samus

>>1326159
>what is reverse image search

>>1326163

As hot as that doujin was, it was just a doujin
Probably not canon

>>1326178
I never played the game he was from, I'm sorry.

>>1326178
Well, on the surface, reverse image search is the colloquial term for any service that looks up where images that you submit are found using a perceptual hash.

You can read more about it here http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/432-Looks-Like-It.html

>>1326186
That's not a big deal, it was just a metroid spinoff on DS, I'm just saying reverse image search is a good way of finding stuff out.

>>1326181
that is not a pirate body
that is a human body

>>1326195
Also there's a ponytail.

I don't know what other proof someone would need unless it's an alien humanoid race with ponytails but it seems like the designer slipped in the ponytail to heavily hint at human female.

>>1326195
humans can't just pop their legs off and use it as a turret though

>>1326195

in all fairness the anatomy of the space pirates varies from game to game

>>1326195
>>1326214
>what is cybernetics

>>1326201
It does say in the game and other places that he is indeed a space pirate. There is a theory that the Space Pirates aren't a singular race, but a group of different races.

hmmm cranky, probably just nerves and them having a damn air conditioner blowing straight on me. It was cold enough to give me major chills haha. Thats why I grabbed Pavera's hoodie for doom 2.

Arch-viles also tend to make me cranky!

>>1326223

>Thats why I grabbed Pavera's hoodie for doom 2.

i see.

>>1326212

In the Prime series, though, the Space Pirates generally all look the same. Digitigrade legs, claws for arms, very gaunt figures.
Contrast Weavel who is pretty much human in proportions and sizes. And space pirates hate humans, so they wouldn't readily grab that form.

>>1326220
>a theory
Theory nothing. Ridley is a space pirate and so is Mother Brain.

>>1326232
Mother Brain isn't a space pirate originally, she was at one point an advanced AI made by the chozo that went haywire or some shit. It's all in the manga.

>>1326223
>Arch-viles also tend to make me cranky!
I can sympathize, Arch-Viles frighten me, because they're not just creepy and disturbing, but also a formidable enemy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJec3o3VhfQ

It's probably one of the best FPS monsters ever designed.

>>1326240

Pissed off martians. Also

>One of the best FPS monsters ever designed

Speak for yourself, my blood pressure raises whenever I hear or see one of those fuckers. I hate enemies that can heal/revive other enemies in vidya. Thank christ they don't have TOO much HP

>>1326250
An enemy that makes you feel something is the mark of a good enemy.

>>1326253
Indeed.

Like Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3, he was a very good antagonist, the vendetta between the player and him felt almost personal.

>>1326253

So by that logic, Zubats, Fleamen, Medusa heads, Archviles, Revenants, those fucking sticky bomb throwing ninjas from the Xbox Ninja Gaiden, and god knows what else out there, are good enemies?

>>1326241
but she's a space pirate now
and so is ridley
and so is kraid for that matter

>>1326261
The ones you listed right there are good enemies.

Most enemies in Castlevania? Not that dangerous. Not even memorable.
Most monsters in Pokemon? Usually a complete pushover.
Doom's monsters? They got a lot of personality but most aren't terribly dangerous.

Then the ones you listed keep things interesting.

I'd even put all but Zubats in there as some of my favorite enemies.
No joke. I'd also consider just about any NG Black enemy to be memorable as hell to me

>>1326220
Yeah, "Space Pirate" does sound dumb for the name of a species / race.

>I'd also consider just about any NG Black enemy to be memorable as hell to me

I'd agree, if only because NG Black is a rage inducing game and those fucking sticky bomb bastards are the worst things I've ever had to deal with, I'll never forget how much stress they induced when there's four of them hanging RIGHT outside a save point, I nearly gave up and started over from that.

>>1326219

>>1326284
I view it as a more positive thing.
They were tough, but not unbeatable.

There's actually a lot of tricks and moves you can use to avoid exploding, even early on.

My favorite kinds of enemies are deadly.
It's even better when the enemy is your equal.

>>1326289
With tubes, anything is possible.

>>1326287

Okay and you have a point, I'd rank beating those fuckers without getting hurt using the staff as one of the most satisfying things I've done in vidya.

But we're getting way off topic, so lemme bring it back with a Doom modding question.

How the hell do you make an effect happen as long as a weapon is selected and not being fired? I still need my Zelda sword to block as long as you're not attacking.

>>1326290

>>1326295
I can't think of anything other than having the weapon out in it's neutral state gives you an item that sets up whatever passive effect you want and then have it taken away at the start of an attack.

>>1326295
In the Ready state, have it fire a constant A_SpawnItemEx("BlockingThingy",64,0,0,0,0,0,0,48), with BlockingThingy being a -SOLID +SHOOTABLE +NOGRAVITY item with 0x7FFFFFFF health that lasts for all of one or two tics.

>>1326308
>>1326317

That did it, thanks fellas, now I remember seeing something on the ZDoom Wiki on how to disable that annoying chainsaw gravitation effect with melee weapons, how do I do that?

>>1326349
>that annoying chainsaw gravitation effect
wot

>>1326374

You know, when you use the chainsaw on an enemy and it -pulls- you into them? I hate that shit

>>1326382

Use A_CustomPunch instead of A_Saw?

>>1326397

it IS using A_CustomPunch

>>1326414
amv2k9 once suggested "You could also use A_FireBullets with a low range specified to emulate a melee attack" to avoid facing your target.

>>1326418

I'm not sure if that'd work, as I'm using a custom puff to make sure this thing doesn't gib zombies and imps

>>1326443
You can specify pufftype for A_FireBullets

http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_FireBullets

I want that Doom speedrun video from AGDQ

Did anyone recorded it?

>>1326453

check the News post

>>1326452

Well that got rid of the pulling effect, but now my sword can stab across the room, I used the same range value as I did for my CustomPunch, was I wrong to do that?

>>1326495
What's your A_FireBullets line?

>>1326498

WSRD B 15 A_FireBullets (0,0,1,20,"SwordPuff",96)

Also this is fun in a frustrating kinda way

>>1326503
use fastprojectiles taht go the distance you want as their speed and die in 1 tic

>>1326507

Wouldn't that mean I'd change it from firebullets to A_FireCustomMissile?

>>1326503
I asked WildWeasel and he said that the range (96) is in the Flags argument.

If you have no flags to add, using ,FBF_USEAMMO ensures default behaviour.

A_FireBullets(0,0,1,20,"SwordPuff",FBF_USEAMMO,96)

>>1326507
Way too hacky.

>>1326512
>Wouldn't that mean I'd change it from firebullets to A_FireCustomMissile?
yes

>>1326531
>Way too hacky.

It works though, and then he can specify a minimum distance as well. Also actual projectiles are a lot more versatile than bulletpuffs.

>>1326531

Awesome! That worked, thanks pal, and you tell WildWesel he's the fucking man.

Now all I gotta do is figure out how to stop my first sword attack getting block by the shield itself

>>1326536
That is true, but if they don't need those features they don't need to have yet another actor enter the fray.

This is how debugging reflective "projectiles" looks

>>1326538

And I don't think I do, the sword's gonna have three abilities: Passive blocking, a short-range melee attack, and when using the altfire or when you're at full health: Shooting sword beams.

>>1326539
Scrote?

Space Pirate?

>>1326537
<wildweasel> My thanks go to said anon.

>>1326546
yeah

>>1326551

You know what, it'd probably be easier if I just get on the IRC with everyone else and keep working from there, after I get back from my walk I think I'll do just that.

By the way you guys are pretty great, I have a feeling with your help I can make this weapon pack not only a reality, but something fun as fuck too.

>>1326538
fair enough

>>1326537
>Now all I gotta do is figure out how to stop my first sword attack getting block by the shield itself

I would assume there is a duration between lowering the shield down, lifting the sword up, and actually attacking.
There should be plenty of time for the shield's item to go away, if it's being spawned every tic or two.

>>1326537
>Now all I gotta do is figure out how to stop my first sword attack getting block by the shield itself

+thruspecies and custom species tag on the sword and shield

what do

>>1326587
I can't really read that.
Get more grenade points?

>>1326589
>I can't really read that.
neither can i, that's the problem

BEHOLD. I HAVE MADE A PROJECTILE WEAPON.

Hey guys, I've been thinking, my original idea for my Zelda weapon pack is to replace the Berserk Pack with the Magical shield, allowing you to reflect projectiles for the duration of the map you're in, but I feel that's kinda bland.

Can you guys think of an interesting mechanic that'd work within the Zelda universe? I don't want it to be a melee attack powerup as I already got something planned for that

>>1326807
Maybe you should draw some proper sprites for the arrow and stuff. The top-down sprites look kind of awkward.

>>1326832
What about sword beam, or higher movement speed?
Silver Arrows? Something kind of like the magic wands from A Link To The Past?

>>1326848

You actually quoted both of my posts there, but lemme answer them in order. The arrow sprite is placeholder, I'm eventually going to make it so rotates properly, I just used that so I can make sure the damn bow works.

As for the sword beams, silver arrows, and magic rod, they're already planned, as seen here

http://pastebin.com/8GJbW25c

>>1326854
I know I answered to both your posts.

How about a heart piece or something?

>>1326869

well I have a heart container planned as the megasphere, I'm trying to think of some kind of mechanic or powerup that'd be handy to have for the duration of a map

>>1326876
Pegasus Boots? Allow you to run fast and charge into enemies with your sword?

>>1326892

well in all honesty you can move pretty fast as is, I'm only making a weapon pack. Not a total conversion here Anon.

What basically happens in these threads?

Fuck. Enemy AI in Duke Nukem 3D is so fucking stupid. I'm trying to make a window that opens with a touchplate, with enemies behind the window that start shooting as soon as the player activates that touchplate.

It just doesn't fuck work.

Either they don't even detect the player, or they try to wander off like they're going shopping or whatever else, or they only shoot once in a while or even NOT AT ALL. I've tried with enforcer, liztroop, commander.

Making them stay put doesn't change stuff, they try to wander off, realize they can't and repeat. The best I could do was with stayput liztroops because they're the only ones who shoot once in a while in this situation, so my best shot is to put like at least 5 or 6 liztroops so that the gunfight matters a little. Sucks.

I see this kind of stuff in Doom all the time but in Duke it just doesn't work.

>>1327143
We rip and tear. Also discussion on the latest doom happenings.

>>1327154
my guess is that the window is too far from the player. It works well enough with 5-6 Liztroops but I would rather have had 2 Enforcer which are hitscan. Oh well I'll do with what I can.

The Wilhelm Scream of shells and bullet casings

>>1327181
there are much higher quality versions, but they are used a lot
but that doesn't make them wilhelm tier
more like "doom door" and "doom platform" tier

>>1327198
The Doom door and platform sounds are a part of the base game and thus cannot be compared to sounds that people seek out and add into the game on their own account.

It doesn't make sense to compare them.

>>1327203
I'm talking about their use in movies
star trek series uses it a lot
there's those cds... I was gonna download a stock sound torrent but... there were over 200 CDs

>>1327207
>there were over 200 CDs

Well link that shit to me, then, I've been wanting to build up my sound library.

>>1327207
I'm talking specifically about sounds used in Doom mods and comparing their ratio of how much it is used (or how much it's noticed) to its quality to the Wilhem Scream's ratio of how much it is used (or how much it's noticed) to its quality in media.

>>1327209
I can't find it, I'll have to look

>>1327214

Hm.

>>1326258
>kills your brother
Woah, let's not make this personal or anything.

Been working on Duke3D stuff a bit almost every day since the 1st of this month. Good years resolution to be more creative this year... It's hard to find time every day but around 1h of mapping a day and progress goes slowly but steadily.

From a different map, which is the newest one (started 1st of january). As I've been playing tons of Doom wads lately this one is actually very inspired by Doom with the layout I have in mind and the way the player will progress through it (with walls opening up à la Doom)

>>1327284
why y u no just make a Doom map

>>1327284
Remake Doom maps in Duke3D.

>>1327394
This.

>>1327337
First, I've got too many Duke projects I need to finish (that new space map is for a small episode I want to make) and I hardly have time for that already.

Then there is how I know duke3D's editor by heart while I don't know Doom's. I tried it once, it seemed very user friendly compared to duke's, but still.

Also if I make something for Doom it will be drowned into the ammount of releases it gets, while Duke3D needs support from its smaller community.

I did however recently think of making the same map twice, once for duke, once for doom. Would be an interesting experiment to have the same map but with different enemies/textures in 2 different games... Of course i'd have to use effects only available in both games or tone down the Doom version.

>>1327414
And then remake Douk maps in Doom!

>>1327432
Also, Duke3D recently met a broader audiance thanks to the release of the Steam version and its workshop. A map I have made had only been downloaded 300-500 times in a few years since release (rough estimate), while it got downloaded 2000 times in a month on Steam. I kind of want to feed those new players so they keep being interested in the game. A new really good mapper even showed up.

>>1327394
>>1327437
Both have been done. There has been several "Doom TC" for Duke, some unfinished, some more or less finished, all with not so good quality.

Then you have a Doom wad that remade (in a toned down version) the Caribbean Life add-on of Duke3D.

I don't see the point of remaking maps from a game to another. It always ends up being worse than the original, it's a waste of time.

>>1327442
I SAID DO IT FAGGOT

>>1327442
I think that when we recreate things we miss parts of the original, like it gets simplified either consciously or unconsciously.

I think that if someone, specifically a good mapper, were to recreate maps from a game with more detailed levels (like Dust 2 from Counter Strike) then the final outcome mitebcool.

So has /v/ made any doom maps of note?

>>1327450
IMP FUCK IMP FUCK IT'S AWRIGHT

>>1327460

/v/, no.
/vr/, yes.

>>1327442
I actually wanted to start mapping on duke is there any guides to using the program or is there another better utility that I can be using? I am completely new to douk mapping but I do have doom experience.

I really want to make some fuckin' maps but I have no inspiration.

>>1327518

>>1327524

>>1327513
You have this (a bit old) :
http://infosuite.duke4.net/index.php?page=basics

And this : http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Level_editing

Be sure to use mapster32 to make maps as it has TONS of small useful features added compared to the original Build. It's not longer included with eduke32 so you need to download the SDK : http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/20140105-4242/eduke32-sdk_win32_20140105-4242.7z

>>1327524
Nah, I couldn't do it justice.

Hey, this is the guy who wanted to know how to use Skulltag exclusive stuff in GZ Doom Builder. When I load skulltag_actors.pk3 skulltag_data.pk3 when creating a new map, I get a massive fucking list of errors.

Here's a pastebin with the error log I get: http://pastebin.com/P19SLudK..

How do I make this stop happening?

>>1327763
Is your load order skulltag_data.pk3 and then skulltag_actors.pk3

>>1327763
>How do I make this stop happening?

Obvious question, have you loaded doom2.wad and/or zdoom.pk3/zandronum.pk3 as well?

>>1327782
skulltag_data.pk3 and then skulltag_actors.pk3

>>1327770
I can't remember which order I was loading them in. Jesus my short term memory is shit.

Which order should I be doing it in?

>>1327650

All I hear are excuses. Do it, faggot.

At the very least it will keep you busy. Writer's block isn't real and neither is this. You just have to find something good again.

>>1327790
Now's a fine time to start.

>>1327783
I never even played Counter Strike!

>>1327783
>Writer's block isn't real

It is, actually, but more important and relevant is that it's not an excuse for sitting around and saying "Ohhhh I can't do iiitt".

>>1327784
It doesn't matter which way I do it, I still get a shitton of errors.

>>1327795

I don't think it's real. Anyone can write (build maps).

Most of your stuff probably won't be very good until you hit the good stuff, but that's no reason to stop. It's pretty much "I had good ideas now I don't"

Work through the pain and build maps.

>>1327802
DISREGARD THAT, I'M A FAGGOT

Data then Actors works just fine.

>>1327802
>>1327812
Oh wait, I have another question.

If I add a texture pack .wad to my map, and I send the .wad to someone else, do they need that texture pack .wad to play the map?

>>1327814
Unless you add the used textures to your wad, yes.

What program do you folks usually use to record footage? I haven't recorded game footage in ages and I have no idea which program is good. I need some footage so I can post a mod on ye olde ZDoom forums.

>>1327821
How do I added textures?

>>1327841
SLADE. Literally copy and paste them into your WAD file, like adding files to a .zip archive.

>>1327802
>>1327812
Wait shit.

I just suddenly got the errors back.

Again, it doesn't matter which way around I load the wads, I still get a fuckload of errors.

>>1327846
oh k

>>1327831
I use DXTory for general recording, works pretty well with (G)ZDoom too, though it is a paid program unless you grab an older patched copy. Which last one that you can get patched is version 2.0.119

>>1326832

So after sleeping on it and thinking about it for awhile, I think I've got it: the berserk pack would power up your Swordbeams, replacing them with fireballs that do the full damage of your current sword and have splash damage

>>1327831

I use Fraps, which has what's worked for me. I've tried a bunch of other things (Camtasia, Dxtory, Bandicam, etc), but I keep coming back to Fraps.
If you've got an external harddrive to store movies on, it works pretty well.

>>1327803

Not doom related but I have to disagree with you.

I'm tired of seeing these doom threads on the front page all the time. It's a shitty game and you guys need to fuck off

Report and ignore.

>>1328214
If your game is so good why doesn't it have a thread up on /vr/?

checkmate

>>1328217

your posts always gets deleted too, you don't need to tell us what we already do

>>1328214

>>1328235
moot still uses his tripcode?

>>1328179

Wow. That's exactly 10 years old today. Funny you should post it.

>>1327251
>excitement intensifies

>>1328362
MartyKirra's power went out for hours and he only recently got back. A few things he was working on were lost but he can code it again.

A release on Friday isn't looking likely at the moment.

>>1328371
Sometime during the weekend maybe?

>>1328380
No worries, tomorrow for sure. Even if it's late tomorrow evening, it'll be up. I'm working all night on this thing. Woooo.

>>1328371
>MartyKirra's power went out for hours and he only recently got back

Curious enough, I've been online in the irc all day and when >>1328193 got posted he was still logged in

>>1328398
Take your time homeslice.

>>1328405
* MartyKirra has quit (Ping timeout: 300 seconds)
(4 hours later)
* MartyKirra has joined
* Hissy gives channel operator status to MartyKirra
<MartyKirra> christ, fucking power outage.

>>1328409

Is that on the /vr/ IRC? And which IRC does WildWeasel hang out on?

>>1328409

Ah, fair enuff

>>1328412
wildweasel is on espernet in #zdoom
espernet shows your ip though, not sure why they would use that network

>>1328179
That's some cool music and graphics you have there.

>>1328415
>espernet shows your ip though

Are you not behind 7 proxies?

Also, MK, that would have been the perfect time to come in here and say, "When it's done."

Coop/survival testing for Metroid is up, if y'all are interested.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll join in.

They look a little silly but my arrows rotate now!

>one wad is different

fuck

What the hell is Tartaru and why is 85MB

>>1328465
Same happening here.

Welp

>>1324567
Oh shit, this thread makes me remember my days of downloading Doom WADS. Good times.

Anyone ever play Eric Harris's WADS? Those are fucking disturbing.

>>1328473
blame term. he likes shitty fuckhueg wads

>>1328461
They look pretty 8 bit so I don't see the problem

>>1328443
I downloaded the WADs that Doomseeker found for me and it doesn't work.

>>1328483
I think I figured it out, http://www.wad-archive.com/wad/Equinox.wad click the second one, I think it has the same MD5 as the server's.

>>1328486
Fuck. Sniped.

>>1328479
How are they disturbing? I remember reading that they were pretty much your average custom doom maps.

Try me.

>>1328554
Blimey.

Are you retro enough to appreciate this wad?

http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?file=levels/doom/s-u/undersea.zip

Server back up in five because Dark Tartarus is shit.

Gonna try and find another levelset.

Glad you don't see anything wrong with them, I'm just stoked the weapons are functioning so far.

>>1328616

Server back up with ZPack. If it's shit blame Eric.

Plasma kind of sucks when any obstacle is to your right or you're in cramped areas.

It's got a really really wide hitbox on it so it bumps obstacles very easily.

>>1328727
I let him know this while we were playing, he said he noted it.

>>1328631

Sorry, I had to do it

>>1328742
No son, you NEEDED to do it.

I imagine you guys get this a lot, but 0.3 the newest Samsara available? I heard there was to be a new char but it either is still WIP or I have an outdated version.

>>1328787
It's on 0.5 anon

>>1328787

0.3 is the newest released Samsara. There's a 0.31 beta floating around, but it doesn't have a new char.

>>1328727

Will fix, thank you.

>>1328803
Thanks; it's certainly a fine wad as is, but I was hype about new peep to mess with (was hearing it was gal from Unreal or some such)

>>1328641

And we're done.
Thanks to everyone who came, it was a blast!

>>1328890
No problem. I had lots of fun with you guys.

>>1328890
So will you be increasing charge shot damage or reducing charge time a bit?

Feels like I have little reason to charge unless I'm using Plasma, and that's just at the start of a fight.

Thinking of alternatives for Demonicron's Zombieman

>>1328742

I thought it was funny.

>>1328941

Damage, quite likely. I'm still trying to figure out the formula I should be using to determine what ideal damage should be.
At the moment, charging takes 62 tics to complete, and the average rate of fire for all weapons is about 11.17 tics.
Power: 2 tics
Wave: 4 tics
Spazer: 8 tics
Ice: 15 tics
Plasma: 19 tics
Long: 19 tics

Since that's about 5.55 times the duration of a normal shot, I originally had gone and made the charge just a flat 3.5x damage boost compared to normal shots, so that it had a lot more extra Burst damage compared to a normal shot but spamming normal had overall more DPS.
Unfortunately, this completely wrecked DM balance, as it was far too easy to prepare a charge shot, fire at a dude, and then lob a few missiles in his direction to finish him off.
Meanwhile in co-op on the other hand, like you said, it's bordering on a complete waste of time.

The obvious answer is (like others have suggested) to give coop more damage and give DM less damage, like Samsara does, buuuuut until I've figured out a formula I'll just be operating entirely off guesswork and what "feels" weak/powerful.

>>1328975
I love the idea of making the long beam a railgun-style sniper weapon, I never would have thought of that.

How is Community Chest 4 compared to other wads? I haven't played Doom in a long time so I thought I'd start with this megawad. Is CC4 considered good or just average nowadays?

>>1328983
Like all the other Community Chests it's a random mishmash of quality.

After 3 months in development, hopefully it will have been worth the server weight.
Thanks for any feedback, and have fun.
Or in other words v1.3 released

Thanks to Terminus and his boomerang code, I now have a functioning boomerang, all I need to do is add the altfire for attacking with the sword, swordbeam code when at full HP, make the boomerang stun targets, and fix that glitch where it vanishes if you throw it too close to a wall.

That being said, I'm still having fun

>>1329109

>Didn't post the gif

Well fuck me sideways, I've got brain problems!

>>1329059
Is only the pistol customizable at this point?

Do any of you modders who actually know what you're doing know why A_JumpIfTargetInLOS doesn't work when I aim at projectiles? It should jump on all actors, right? It doesn't jump when I aim at projectiles, even if the JLOSF_COMBATANTONLY flag isn't set. I'm trying to make a weapon that you can use to reflect projectiles more accurately.

>>1329109
>swordbeam code when at full HP
there's a working one (along with the spin attack) in the doomcenter wad, if you want to have a look at it

>>1329109
>swordbeam code when at full HP

A_JumpIfHealthLower

Inspired by a thread I saw on Doomworld, what is a Realm667 monster (or monsters) you like and why?

and please no "durr fuck r667" garbage

The thread:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-general/66716-if-you-could-pick-one-realm667-monster/

>>1329346

I really like the Flesh Wizard's unique design and behavior, especially if you remove the fading-out part.
Zipping around at lightning fast speeds before stopping to throw a projectile with that design is creepy as shit.

>>1329346

>Dat midi.

Playing Doom for the first time. What am I missing here? I think explored whole level already.

>>1329405
run over the gap innit

>>1329406
Fuck, I just did it. After few tries I decided it's not the case, posted this, tried again and succeed. I am dumb.

>>1329346
Basically all of the cybernetic themed monsters.

I just like the theme but it's cooler still if there are new attack patterns, the cyborg barons are really cool.

>>1328492
They are. Not that great.

He could mean it's more disturbing to play the creative works of a mass murderer though.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/r254l2grzu5e3dl/EHWads.zip

On the off chance someone here hasn't played them.

>>1329109
would it be possible to just make the boomerang stun enemies?

>>1329510
Yes. +FORCEPAIN on the boomerang. You may have to go through the monsters and change the Pain state so it's longer, and then create another Pain state that is the normal length for normal weapons.

>>1329521
Alternatively you could spawn an invisible actor on top of the hit enemy when the boomerang hits that forces the pain state for the duration necessary, which would take less work than rewriting every monster's pain state

>>1329346
My favorite is probably the Diabolist of the Archon of Hell. Most of them are enjoyable to fight.

Got some more done on this. Seriously gotta finish this thing sometime.
