>>1395716
Both.

>>1395780
What's this?

probably doom carribbean

when zandronum is updated to 2.0 will it work on our quantum computers

Protip to all 4chan X users, just leave some text in the post box up top and use the quick reply normally.

>not using 6 SSDs in RAID for RAM

is there a way to change the mapinfo for doom II like you can with hexen?

>>1395962
Use the MapInfo lump

http://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO

>>1395156
Are you talking about doom RL or are you doing your first playthrough of Doom? Either way, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself, and welcome!

Should have armoured skin like this

>>1396014
Who should?

Is it pretty bad that I'm on HMP difficulty, on map 17 of TNT doom? With probably 5-10 hours in?

>>1396063

No. Play on the difficulty you want to.
Inb4 the UV-or-die crowd throws a temper tantrum.

>>1396068
Oh okay, I was just wondering because It's taking too long on a not so high difficulty.
I'm not savescumming if that helps.

Just a little more polish and this should be pretty much done.
this frame, anyways.

>>1395963
but when I open the zand pk3 and try to extract it gives me this error

>>1396038
Everyone that wants it because it would be available for free download when made

>>1396139
what the fuck are you doing

why are you trying to edit the zandronum pk3 with winrar and why are you trying to edit the zandronum pk3

just make another pk3 with the modified mapinfo and load that

use slade and if slade can't open it use 7zip which can open it fine

>>1396094
The edge looks raised because it's brighter than the center.

>2168 monsters

Are you ready to die, human?

>>1396143
but 7zip and winrar are the same fucking thing

I am sick and tired of the front page getting clogged up with this shit. This is EXACTLY what /vg/ is for. Please, take it there already.

Ignore and report.

>>1396202

Yeah, okay.

>>1396206
It's literally one thread. We don't make a new thread until the previous one is autosaging and at least on page 5.

>>1396193
i'm done helping you as it just became obvious that it's impossible

>>1396094

Nice! Now I can combine my two favourite flavours of ultraviolence.

Still requesting brutal doom's gore as a separate thing (ketchup is nothing like that)

>>1396225
with a few tweaks here and there, i feel like it'd suit SHOTA pretty well

>>1396208
>implying I'm the guy who needed help
>implying you're not some buttmad 7zip fag who just doesn't get it

>>1396270
winrar was clearly unable to extract or modify files inside zandronum.pk3

7zip can

7zip also supports a wider range of formats

.7z also has better compression ratios

please stop talking about things you don't understand before you get embarrassed despite telling yourself that you're only trolling on 4chan

When you're that buff your fists are the weapon.

>>1395943

If your toaster can handle ZDoom 2.5.0, then it'll be fine

>>1396014

But it's just a single, side shot of it.

>>1396193

I can attest that this is not true. Once I started using 7zip I never, NEVER went back

ANYWAY, on to Doom. First things first, download SLADE, it's in the OP. FOR EVERY SINGLE ZDOOM-RELATED MODDING NEEDS (Zandronum also included), Slade is what you need

You have Slade? Good, now, go to File > New, and then select WAD file. PK3, WAD, it doesn't matter, or at least, for what you want to do.

Now, inside the WAD file, create a new lump. "What's a lump?" A lump, generally speaking, is any file inside a WAD. Either go to Archive > New > Entry or click on the "E" icon in the toolbar

If it asks for a name, put "MAPINFO". Once the new lump is created, go to the right and you'll see a button which reads "Edit as text"; click on that and you're set to create your custom MAPINFO, provided that you already know how to edit one for Doom

>>1396282
well this guy's a faggot, so fuck him.
>>1396321
but thank you. That's helpful and it solved my problem

Ok, this is perhaps not something exclusive to DOOM but how do I make MIDI tunes sound as best as possible on 64-bit Windows 7?

I used to use some ancient Japanese app called WinGroove:
http://wingroove.en.softonic.com/

but that doesn't work with modern OSs. So what are the alternatives these? Preferbly a purely software solution.

Why is this general so cancerous

Report and ignore

Was MAP10's non-tagged secret a nod at E2M4's one? Because they're pretty damn similar

>>1396193
Winrar is irritating nagware.

>>1396454
get a job, hippie.

>>1396474
>bitch about program that lets you continue using it after the trial has ended and only asks you to pay

Fuck right off, if it really bothered you that much get the registered version

>>1396474
Winrar is that guy who just wanted you to call back after that date.

>>1396480
Or not use it and use 7zip instead, idiot

Why pay to make nagging go away when you can use a product that doesn't nag, has more features, and supports archival formats with better compression ratios

It's objectively better

I have some experience with CS:S mapping and am looking to get into .wad mapping, I expect the differences in how shit's done will take some getting used to, so while I puzzle out DOOM mapmaking, are there any map ideas you think could do with more products? Any themes, locations, twists, etc you think would be interesting to see?

I was thinking of something about a desert island, something colorful compared to the black and gray of the typical DOOM affair.

>>1396480
7zip is free though.

>not using closed-source, proprietary software makes me a "cheapskate" apparently

>>1396493

>Any themes, locations, twists, etc you think would be interesting to see?

How about a real-live place that is commonly known wherever you live?

It's like i'm playing quake again!

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/winrar-winzip-7-zip-magicrar,3436-7.html

You can read through the entire process, but these are the results.

7zip is objectively better.

WinRAR is only popular because it's advertised more for money. I cannot fathom why anyone would know of 7zip and still use WinRAR outside of being lazy or stubborn because someone called you an idiot for using WinRAR and you think that using 7zip would prove them right.

I like how one of the bosses from this appears in zeno clash

>>1396515
Really? I fucking love zeno clash
And I was thinking of that game when I was playing.

Got back into editing a little last night, Ignore the random tub-like thing in the middle, gonna work on some other things before I address that.

>>1396369
Google BASSMIDI. Install that. Open its little configuration program. Add SC-55_1.9.sf2.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/z404l525ese142u/SC-55_1.9.sf2.7z

The default Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth is basically shit version samples from a Roland SC-55. This soundfont does a pretty good job of emulating a SC-55 and has a familiar sound to the default windows one.

>>1396520
same creators, this is the boss by the way

>>1396534

Cool, thanks. I was actually looking around a bit and found that beside BASSMIDI a lot of people are also recommending VirtualMIDISynth. You wouldn't happen to know the difference between the two? They seem to serve pretty similar purposes.

>>1396510
I love how some janitor has deleted any post referencing the debate. Easily the most glute abused janitor I've ever seen.

>>1396556
That was a interesting thing to know, I wonder what type of weed the creators smoke.

>guys the janitor is mad it's not like we're shitposting offtopic or anything

Shitposter conspiracy theories.

>>1396014
That's fucking amazing.

>>1396574
The Doom community uses archival programs for mods and mod distribution and a user couldn't use WinRAR to get the job done.

It's at least somewhat related and worth keeping up so other people don't make the mistake of using WinRAR and then giving up when it fails to do what you want.

>>1396572

>>1396565
I dunno, I'm in x64 Win7 too. Between BASSMIDI and VirtualMIDISynth, BASSMIDI has a weird rare bug where it starts a song and all of the instruments are piano (easily fixed by typing snd_reset into zdoom/Z& console), but VirtualMIDIsynth straight up crashes, freezes up my games, and runs like shit. So BASSMIDI it is, with the once-per-month minor inconvenience.

At least both are miles better than Timidity. That shit can't even handle half of the soundfonts out there and has some abstract installation and setup compared to the others.

>>1396601
>ASSMIDI has a weird rare bug where it starts a song and all of the instruments are piano (easily fixed by typing snd_reset into zdoom/Z& console)

I've had that happen to me from time to time.

Never tried VirtualMIDISynth

>>1396582
>>1396580
My bad then, never knew how sensitive some people were, but i'm sorry for the shitty joke.

>>1396640

it is alright. i just grow tired of seeing it all over. Some people can just tap into their minds all naturally!

Well that was fun, 3d graphics were nice, gameplay is your typical doom experience (only with melee weapons), and it has a interesting story and setting, something you rarely see in doom.
It's not without it's flaws, the gameplay is WAY to linear, leaving no space for the player to move around most of the times, this becomes a real problem with enemies that shoot projectiles.
Ranged weapons you have are really, really weak, or I was doing something wrong.
Bosses are MUCH easier than enemies, fuck, the environments were much easier than the bosses.
I would recommend this, but it really doesn't deserve a spot in the top 100 wads of all time, 7/10.

>>1396652

This. In fact for me it's the opposite.

I come up with all my crazy ideas when I'm off my meds. I use the meds to execute the ideas.

Does anyone know how to enable hit sounds in zandronum? I've been trying to figure this out for a LONG time.

>>1396896
what

>>1396225

Wait, what's this for?

>>1396262

Wiseass.

>>1396902
He means he wants to enable the option when, if your attack hits somebody, it plays a sound like in Quake 3.
There are no such things in Zandronum.

pixel art threads have increased since the past week. hopefully they will be, ahem, useful in a near future

>>1396262
That's... an unfortunate acronym.

>>1397032
if anything,aside of pixel art stuff,people should scan toys and change color palletes,remove trademarked stuff[i.e. Decepticon's logo] and photoshop more weapons or different armor pieces and boom,you can make a new Doom enemy
i still want pic related to be on doom though

Stop Hitting On The Asshole

http://youtu.be/PhVOK8CwDnk

Shit video quality is shit, dunno what caused it. Also, yay for altern monsters based on what level you're currently on. I shall put the code of that thing very soon for everyone to mess with.

>>1397146
I'd play it.

>>1396369
Anvil Studio, as recommended by Bobby Prince himself.

Say hello to your new starting subweapon. the grappler is no longer a subweapon but instead part of a new feature: Hitting the zoom key will activate a utility function depending on what weapon you have armed.

This thing is fucking fun

>>1397309

>>1396509
What mod is this?

>>1397449

ZanZan

>>1397146
>altern monsters based on what level you're currently on
How does this work?

Is it a per episode thing?
Does it check the type of wall textures?

>>1397451

The short of it is that it executes a script that checks the cluster you're currently on; there's this monster spawner that replaces the desired monster, which checks the result of said script and then based on the result (or the absence of it) jumps to a state in which spawns a monster based on the Episode.

Say, you're in The Shores of Hell, and instead of getting the regular Imps, you get green-colored ones, because the script delivered a result of "2".

>Does it check the type of wall textures?

THAT, my friend, is something that I've been hoping to see it being possible to do with the modding tools that we currently have in this era.

Since the very moment that I could get this monster spawner done I've been wondering myself that very possibility. (I must mention that this script was finished thanks to the help from a bunch of people that practically did everything, since I have almost zero knowledge in ACS -but I KNEW it was possible to check for the current cluster, so that's why I asked if this monster randomizing idea was even possible to do-)

Just think about it! You wouldn't even need to check for episodes or whatever, if the monster spawner is near a marble texture, then the game will spawn either a green marble-colored demon or a red one.

But then again, I must ask first if it's even possible to do. About the spawner script itself, I shall post it properly tomorrow, it's almost 4AM and I'm too tired to write about this thing properly.

>>1396534
Oh. Ohhh. This sounds nice. I've been using another Roland soundfont, but this is miles better. Much like I remember from my old (dead and gone) system, rather than just acceptable.
Where did you get this one?

>>1397474
Quick google shows a thread on zdoom forums.
http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34949

God damn even with my weapons that was tense.

>>1397509

Good job.

So, uh. I decided to work on a butchered copy of Hard-Doom in hopes of making a version compatible with Metrood.

>>1397530
I haven't seen that reticle in years.

>>1397552

Yeah I have like... two or three of those Xhair wads In the /skins folder of all my GZdoom and Zan folders, they're rather awesome

>>1397552
what's this edgy garbage

why can't people just use ⊹ like a normal person

>>1397557
dunno, why can't people use anything other that?

>>1397557
You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Customization is nice. There's a reason it has so many options in games like Quake, Serious Sam, Unreal Tournament and the like.

Zdoom's default crosshairs can get pretty small on bigger screens compared to other games. It basically started off because I wanted a bigger dot than that 3-pixel-wide thing on a 1680x1050 window.

>>1397552
>>1397530
Where can I get these crosshairs? I'd like to play around with them a bit.

>>1397573
http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=74

I dunno, I just stick with a white 55. Some guy saved all the older versions, so those are linked in there too, I guess.

Most of these were either requested or got me yelled at when I would get rid of them, so don't look at me like I use some of those full retard ones.

Asking again in this thread:

Anybody with a good computer and time on their hands want to record a short video (longer if they want, but doesn't have to be) of them playing Fractal Doom?

It will be featured as the main gameplay video in the new Doomworld and Zandronum threads.

Links for interested parties

ZDoom version: http://static.best-ever.org/wads/fd_zd_v0.2.3h.wad
Zand version: http://static.best-ever.org/wads/fd_za_v0.2.3h.wad
Wolfenstein SS addon (optional): http://static.best-ever.org/wads/fd_ss_add_v1.1.wad

Play either version, it's up to you.

>>1397557
>things I don't like are edgy

Wow, are you 12

>>1397679
it is literally the sorts of shit you'll find in a 12 year old's fps catalog

>>1397713
do you spend a lot of time looking at 12 year old's fps catalogs? hmmm or maybe you've got a cute little strawman cooked up in that little brain of yours..

>>1397674
I don't promise anything, but let me see

>>1397724
yes, those are the games that get the highest production value because of the mass appeal thanks to the shitty state of modern gaming so i do spend a lot of time looking at them

>>1397674

Minecraft looking Zandronum mod with server :: [BE] New York :: Survivalism: Surive and Build Bases - Feb 5 (Desync fixed!) --> 108.61.83.66:15083

>>1397552

I got a laugh from #95 and #96, honestly.

>>1397570
Truth be told a big reason of why I play Doom is because I could easily import in my favorite playermodel and play with it.

>>1397836

>>1397836
It seems intriguing enough as a base, the question really is how will it will be made interesting. Right now everything is too rudimentary to really be engrossing.

>>1397836

Goddamn that's a lot of powerups

Not to double post so shortly, but This just makes me giddy.

>>1398264
Is there a new build with the morphball at all? Also, will there be a ZDoom version at all?

>>1398267
The most recent one (the one that's hosted in that server) has it, and I imagine Term will make one when he's ready for release.

>>1398271
Is there somewhere I can download it? I've never really had much interest in playing doom online.

>>1398274
You can always look for the server on Doomseeker, down load it and close it out before Zandro finishes loading.

>>1398136
You, I'll get along with you.

>>1398267
>Also, will there be a ZDoom version at all?

Once ZDoom gets the ability to manipulate the chasecam from ACS like Zandronum has, yes.
How's that for weird? I'm so used to ZDoom having stuff that Zandronum can't do, not vice-versa.

>>1397674
>>1397752

alrite, exporting vid.

Has anybody ever made one huge map out of individual episodes of OG DOOM with them even linking together in somewhat sensible ways (elevators, teleporters or long tunnels I guess)? Would such a thing be possible even with modern source ports?

>>1398424

I think someone tried and due to map size it started to fuck up things.

>>1398424
Well, someone did that with all 32 maps of Doom 2, and I think someone might have done it with the first episode of Doom.

>>1398445
Is that what it was like to play doom back in the day?

Get the wad for Doom, or Doom 2, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom's TNT or Plutonia if you want

Pretty gud. Looks like dook's kind of contrast.

Goddamn I'm loving the mods you guys are putting out. I got the latest build of that Metroid mod and I'm having a blast playing it with Jenesis, GMOTA is a ton of fun too, and I look forward to the next build of The Space Pirate.

Where has Marty been recently anyways? He usually keeps us updated on the progress of TSP.

need a little help here guys. I just downloaded ZDoom again and set it up. But for some reason it won't play the pk3 files only wads. I really want to play Knee Deep in Zdoom, but the error msg says it only plays wad files. Am i missing something here.

Question about Quake, I've been using Wally to edit WAD files for almost 15 years. Is there a more modern tool I can use to extract and edit textures from WAD files and repackage them? Should I ask in another thread?

Who does the MIDI's for the 32in24 wads?

They're brilliant

>>1399053
Open it up in your fancy image editor; start a new layer. Airbrush some black shading towards the very left end so it helps look like the thigh area is curving inward/downward. Now set that layer to some filter or other--multiply or overlay or something similar. Mess with it and mess with the amount of fading until it looks good. Then clean it up and merge it all and re-pallet it. It should take five minutes.

>>1399301
GMOTA is perfect for Slaughterfest and other such "Bullshit" type maps.

Someone please recommend me Doom/Heretic/Hexen levelsets that make use of ZDoom's advanced level architecture (two floors on top of each other, fake elevators etc) and feature new enemies. Already played Demon Eclipse, KDiZD and Serpent: Resurrection.
I know about recommendation chart and all, but it gives little indication about those two preferences.

>>1399450

You really think the powered weapons are good? I'm trying to make it even smoother than the version you guys are playing right now, which is to say I'm just adding a few more weaponready frames with wrf_allowreload so you can switch between the forms a little faster. Also I'm not adding new monsters, but I'll be working on adding GMOTA-fied vanilla monsters that have a chance of dropping goodies.

Is there a channel for the Metroid mod, or should I just hang in #vr for info?

The first or second post of this thread has a link to my Zdoom forum thread, or you could check best ever, I'm feeling nice so here

http://static.best-ever.org/wads/gmota_v0.8.pk3


By the way fellas, if you like my mod so much, make some videos of it, I want to see how you guys play. Different people seem to come up with different playstyles, I really like that.

>>1399891
Do you plan on reworking any of the sprites at all? I play widescreen on doom, so some of the sprites are cut off at the side and it's totally giving me OCD, it'd look really nice to have the full arm instead of half of it.

Is Beautiful Doom the way to go if you want to make DooM look as cool as possible when showing it off to a perhaps a generation younger or so without changing any of the actual gameplay?

Related: What is good WAD that maintains the core gameplay of DOOM as much as possible (with regards to weapons, monsters, movement and such), looks relatively impressive and has a nice and steady difficulty curve for beginners of dOOm? The last criteria can be reached if it does difficulty levels well I suppose.

>>1399918
>>1399891
There should be some widescreen sprites already made on the ZDoom forum.

>>1399917
Beautiful doom is pretty fantastic. It does change SOME stuff, pistol fire rate is a tad faster, same with punching. Double barrel can fire one barrel at at a time, and you can spin up the minimum to make it fire much faster. Aside from those few minor things it's pretty much all vanilla, and it's the only way I can play doom "vanilla". There's also ketchup, which adds all the blood and guts, and the person who meed realism did a mod that retains vanilla gameplay while adding a bunch of visual flair, but it felt really fucking rough around the edges.

>>1399918
>>1399921

I probably should. I might need some help with aligning that crap. But I'll save that for later down the road. I still need to fix my HUD, every time I see a screenshot with the life/armor overheal bars not lined up it drives me fucking batty.

I thought about that, but I feel that'd get to be a mess with as many pickups as I'll be adding. though I'll look into making it so players can always pick up subweapons so they're not just fading away.

> which is to say I'm just adding a few more weaponready frames with wrf_allowreload so you can switch between the forms a little faster.

I'm liking how it is now, not being able to switch quickly means you need to think ahead, like with most weapon switching.

>>1400031

I'm only tweaking a few things, there's a few frames in the staff firing animation for example where you can't power it down.

>>1399917
If you want WADs that are as close to vanilla as possible, you'll have a hard time doing better than...the vanilla WADs. KDITD is still one of the best crafted, most intense experiences out there.

That said, there's always Doom The Way id Did It, plus the "lost episodes" of rejected maps that were recently put out. Any kind of "vanilla compatibility" megawad will likely offer you a similar weapon and level progression.

>>1399549
What's your problem with them? I'm doing a short bunch of maps right now, and the first level is indeed slightly ganked from E1M1. The arrangement of rooms is entirely different though. I did it because my MAP02 has too many weapons and different enemy types to work as a first level.

>>1400078
too many exclusively e1m1 remakes

>>1397852
Will there ever be a single player episode for this ;-;

>>1400108

Term is making a map for his Metrood project.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldOJGZGCiIg

So I tried to emulate the Rictus's flame spouting during the whole "Ice beam stuns monsters when it doesn't outright murder them" coding Term set up, I sorta like it

>>1399553
There are a lot of Doom maps that deserve remakes. E1M3, with all the hidden machinery and the exit to a secret level, E3M9 with the cyberdemon, every Detroit map in Doom 2 (MAP12, MAP13, MAP16, fuck, remake every single map from MAP12 to MAP20, I hated almost all of them), and MAP30.
MAP30, the Icon of Sin fight, needs to be definitely improved. The fight in Perfected Doom 3 mod was a good step in that direction.

Has anybody done an xcom doom yet? I mean, there's a wide variety of enemies and stuff.

I just wanted to upload some GMOTA videos.

Hey, /vr/dg I need help. I have been asked to setup an 8-player Doom LAN (no internet) for a very important event. I can do this in a few ways, but I think the easiest one would be to build a zip file of a Doom install with prdoom, or whatnot, and just copying this onto 8 Windows 7 PCs.

It is also possible that we put this together with 8 old-school CRT iMacs running Mac OS 9...

Recomendations? I've installed Doom with prdoom but I never got it working networked.... Am I just an idiot?

>>1400278

I'm being told elsewhere Odamex is buggy, though. Zandorum is what I'm hearing.

has Odamex gotten better recently?

>>1400364
Zandronum will probably work better, but I figured from your post that you wanted a more vanilla experience, since you wanted to use PRBoom. Odamex isn't much more than PRBoom with c/s netcode, while Zandronum is closer to ZDoom with c/s.

>>1400489

>>1400476
Yeah, but like I said, it's retardedly unbalanced. Get two shadow armors and you become fully invisible. Combine that with instakill poison bolts, and you've got one guy running around killing everybody and they don't even know where he is. There's also the phosphorous grenades that just shit all over everything. Each individual flame spams Doom rocket explosions every 2 tics and they last for a crazy amount of time.

>>1400489
Wait did he actually say Samus is based on his ideal woman? Geeze.

>>1400502

I liked Super. Faint hint of muscle.

>>1400489

Well at least the Japanese are honest. If Sakamoto were an American, Samus would probably have coarse grainy skin the color of shoe leather.

>>1400531
>at least the Japanese are honest

>coarse grainy skin the color of shoe leather

>>1400530
Oh yeah, Super was pretty good. A bit of muscle is pretty sexy.

>>1400531

>implying Japanese devs don't use grainy skin too

RIP Shirley Temple

>>1400531
If I was to redesign Samus, I would definitely add more muscle, right now she has that very average anime female looking build, and I would cut her hair short, like pixie style (Because it must fucking suck to hair that long under a helmet, it also gives your enemy something to grab if you happen to not have a helmet on), and I'd make her look a little more tough in general, still attractive, but not so much pretty anime waifu.

>>1400562
>Because it must fucking suck to hair that long under a helmet

Samus is, and forever will be, in my head the 6'3", 198 lb. Amazon that appeared in Nintendo Power. I can deal with losing the purple hair, though. A blonde pixie cut would be fine.

Yeah, the green hair does seem like a very strange choice. It does make them pop on screen though, and not in a glaring, obnoxious way.

Maybe they should've been given marine helmets, bloodshot eyes peering out. The "don't fade into the background" green could still be used in the helmet.

>>1400592
BRB, shitting my pants in fear of the Hunter.

Short hair would match Samus's efficiency but I just don't think she devotes that much time to shit like that. If the ponytail was less about dumb girly fashion and more about not having time for haircuts and wanting to keep it out of the way, I'd be happy.

>>1400594
>It does make them pop on screen though, and not in a glaring, obnoxious way.

I think that was probably the reason for it. They needed a hair color that wouldn't blend with their skin, and be recognizable at a distance.

Are you claiming it's not garbage? It's created by and for worthless, insolent little insects, and it's not even slightly entertaining. Its mere presence is an absolute eyesore. In fact, it's more than that, it's an existencenesssore!

I can just imagine a samsara player getting both of his legs broken in a freak accident, and then crawling across the road to get help. Suddenly, a large semi-truck appears on the scene, driving down the road, and the driver notices the man with his legs broken, but he doesn't stop and instead just runs right over him and continues without a second thought because he realizes how worthless and insignificant that "person" was.

That is how meaningless samsara players are.

Look at this fucker going around deleting my posts. This isn't the first time either, little fucker.

I really put some work into that story of the samsara player who got run over by the truck because he's an insignificant, purposeless object (just as all samsara players are). But you won't have any of it. Why? Because, as it turns out, you're a dirty little samsara player too! That's right, the truth is out! There's rumors going all over the grapevine about you, now. All of the elites are laughing at how inconsequential you are. Even keldo himself has stated that assassinating your character is meaningless because you already have no character left.

why does all of the custom sprite work in doom mods look terrible? i have yet to see any unique looking monsters that come remotely close to the originals. is there no good pixel artists for doom? also why not try increasing the amount of animation in the original sprites like was done for guns?? simple things like that have a much larger impact than lame palette swaps

>>1401971
>why does all of the custom sprite work in doom mods look terrible?

Actually SgtMark was developing a project akin to that, but, welp, we know what happened

The only frames that were done until the moment were the walking animation of the Pinky

>>1401981
pics?

>>1401985
that's too bad cuz that would have a much larger impact than 99% of the content that's out there. i mean just having some extra frames for the pistol and minigun is a huge difference.

redneck rampage for samsara

there's actually good, alternative renditions out there of the Doom monsters, but the problem here resides that they're only just A1, frontal sprites.

If I have a DECORATE monster that inherits most of its stuff from the Baron, how do I go about giving it a stronger fireball? As in, identical to the normal fireball, aside from doing more damage. I know BaronBall is a separate class, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

I realize this is basically the most obvious edit I could do but I'm mostly just screwing around and the Zdoom Wiki has left me a bit confused.

>>1402037
redefine the missile state to throw a different actor

looooooooooooong time back when we were doing survival invasion

Can anyone tell me how to run Hideous Destructor? The readme says "drag the zip file onto ZDoom.exe", which does nothing. Dragging it onto GZDoom and Zandronum did nothing either, nor did loading the .wad file itself with any of those ports.

*pk7, not wad, my bad.

>>1402119

Sounds like you have a download that finished early, then.
Try redownloading it.

>>1402119
Get the ZDL launcher, launch the wad with the source port of your choice.

She also called Princess Sevenleaf a communist devil, which is kind of hilarious.

Well I just downloaded the newest version along with the newest version of GZDoom, dragged the .pk7 onto GZDoom.exe and it finally works. The two contradictory readme's in the zip weren't exactly helpful.

huh pics?

>>1402157
>asking for pics of people on /vr/
that's inappropriate, has nothing to do with /vr/, and is downright creepy

>>1402160
