I'm sure the muzzleflash isn't the only thing holding up tsp zand

>>1641459
Haha it actually is, no joke. I'm actually working on v0.1.3 ZDoom stuff since it's a big update. Everything is up and running right now in 1.2 zand, there's just some junk I need to do to make it look ~pretty~.

To the guy who was looking for dorner's last stand try

Art is hard! :(

also my attention span/work ethic is terrible

Good boy DornerWADGuy, rips a fuckton of videogame sprites with zero credit but makes sure the thing works with FreeDoom.

>>1641459
>>1641480
How about I make the promise that I'll be out tonight, and if it isn't, you guys can give me hell forever.

>>1641492
>How about I make the promise

Is there a program that randomizes the levels in an IWAD and forces pistol start? I already asked this a couple of threads ago, but I got no response.

>>1641517
Oblige with pistol start.pk3

>>1641524
Much... obliged.
Does it work with the vanilla maps?

There's some wads i cannot open, because they weirdly are not in the wad format.

The infamous wads list: you extract the files and the wads are .exe, how do you play them?

>>1641527
... No. He meant it makes randomized levels.

You could always just roll dice and idclev.

>>1641492
Dawg i dont want to hurry you but i need That gun

>>1641556
It wouldn't be too hard to write a simple program that generates a working MAPINFO with a random seed

I'm not gonna say I can do it because I'm a shit coder but

>>1641576
Wats going on i like guns? what is it about?

OKAY. Onslaught Six again with another 200 minute challenge. Think I ran slightly over but I got stuck on this tutti-frutti that's in the very first screen; I still can't get rid of it either

Also I didn't test this too much re: actual playtesting so it might need some buffs or nerfs in some areas. I took an idea someone had a few months back about giving a pistol start player a plasmagun with limited ammo to start with, and it actually makes the level kind of interesting.

If it needs more ammo, let me know, and if anyone can tell me how to fix the tutti-frutti then I'd appreciate it. Any sky will work but this will probably work best as an earlier map (it's basically just a techbase), and maybe D_BETWEE or D_E1M6 is what's in my head regarding music.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/03n6gvjar9ujjzk/Computer%20Array.wad

okay so repeating a request for help from the last thread that went unanswered; I'm using ZDL(have ZDoom, GZDoom, and Zandrounum installed), and while the WADs are working fine(except for NERVE.wad for No Rest For The Living, which doesn't work right), I can't get any external files to work even the ones that come with ZDoom/GZDoom/Zandronum, so what the hell do I do?

>>1641534
Some of the oldest mods came with actually modified EXEs or some shit, which is weird and not how it's supposed to be?

Just find the WAD and probably DEH and load that.

>>1641643
>WADs are working fine
>can't get any external files to work

You're...gonna need to re-explain things, please.

>>1641652
.pk3 files are what I mean, like zdoom.pk3 for example doesn't load properly

>>1641639
Nice map. Like a mini Doom 1 level. I got stuck in pic related though.

>>1641673
> lift has blue key indicators
> "I'm stuck"
> look at statusbar
> does not fucking have the blue key

I think we figured out the problem

>>1641672

You...don't load zdoom.pk3.

>>1641673
oh wait fuck I just realized, that doesn't even need the blue key, you mean you physically got stuck

Playing with webms filesize, quality and length.

Term vs Eric. The last 2 minutes or so anyway...

>>1641676
>>1641680
Curb your judgement. Damn.

Yeah though. No blue key needed. Just got stuck.

>>1641639
I fucking love PG.
>>1641680
Looks pretty bad tbh.

>>1641683
>left-click
>options
>max player speed
>it almost looks the same
I can't fucking play Deathmatch in games like Doom, it's WAY too fast for me.

>>1641679
I'll admit I don't have any idea what I'm doing(started doing this on a whim when I found out my copy of Doom 3 BFG Edition had the WADs for Doom I & II and decided to finally get around to doing Doom emulation), so for example say I wanted to run Aeons of Death which came as a .pk3 file, what do I do?

>>1641686
Yeah, sorry, I've had too much Mountain Dew Voltage today, so I'm a bit snippy.

>>1641691
I'm reworking the area a bit.

>>1641708
Well first you want to get the proper old Doom IWADs in the OP.

Then you want to get ZDL and set up those core Doom files in your IWADs.

Then you set your source port in the port(ZDoom, GZDoom, etc.)

Then you put mods and levels in PWADs and you're good to go.

>>1641708
>emulation

>>1641718
okay I got the first three steps already taken care of, how do I make a PWAD?

>>1641725
PWADs are your mods.

You download the mod or level set or whatever in question and load it there.

Example:
I got TSP's super latest version with all the guns complete and I'm ready to play it in Doom.
I load that file in the PWAD section.

Bam, done.

>>1641683
How do you record g/zdoom?

I installed and started playing Ultimate Doom in a sudden burst of nostalgia for the game that popped the cherry of my unending gore-boner back then.
I really didn't remember it was that good. damn, I'm tempted to say that its actually better than any fps that came after it, save a couple exceptions. my only issue is the difficulty curve between episodes, and the fact that you have to restart without any item, but probably its just me not being used anymore with keyboard controls. and the music is great also. what a blast

>>1641717
>I'm reworking the area a bit.
Uh, I meant the quality of that webm I linked to, not any map out of posted ITT.

>>1641741
I like the difficulty ramping up because you're going into more dangerous areas.

After all, you start off at the outskirts of the demon invasion and work your way to the center.

The progression makes sense.

What is happening in doomguys hair?

>>1641740
Uh. Damn near any screen recorder? Dxtory, Bandicam or Fraps.

At least, for Windows. Kinda SOL if you're on something else.

>>1641758
Everybody's dead so he had to cut his own hair.
And the only thing close to a cutting instrument he has is a chainsaw.

>>1641138

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx-OZG3OqlkwRmZsOUFvV2k2SjQ/edit?usp=sharing

Added "Secret" to sectors, moar monster closets etc.

Also demos of other players are awesome to observe what you did right/wrong.

Serious spoilers for dudes who already tested;
I'll keep the random teleport in "offices" right before BFG. I still think ending up inside a barrel while running towards a BFG is funny. Also removed BFG from guard room, so it is the only one now.

Both ends of library passage now need yellow key. That passage was intended to bypass going back to "real world" to remove bars. But the trip back is pretty dull if you missed the key.

However I'll probably replace that passage to somewhere else and force players to use the switch in "real world" and give a shot at BFG, after all it is a single map and if you love that thing you should be able use it. Also if players didn't get the idea "button with colored bars next to it opens same colored bars" and forgot about it so quickly, that's players problem"

>>1641743
You linked to my post about my map so I assumed that's what you were talking about, but it's cool.

Anyway, I redesigned the area but now I can't get the fucking blue door things to work. What's the deal? Everything's tagged right and I think I'm using the right line special.

>>1641767
>You linked to my post about my map so I assumed that's what you were talking about, but it's cool.
Oh right, I sure did! I'm sorry man.

>>1641739
I'm not seeing how to do that with ZDL(there's the External Files section, but .pk3 files don't seem to work, and doing it through the IWAD section just makes the game load the default Doom 1 & 2 IWADs on launch)

>>1641758

Yeah, I always thought it looked like a kinder egg was emerging from the back of doomguy's head in that image

>>1641758
it looks like he has some kind of starfish on his face

>>1641758
That hair was probably rad back in the day.

>>1641776
>>1641774
>>1641761
>>1641758
It's a legit haircut.
I just can't remember what it's called.

>>1641782
"chocolate starfish"?

>>1641767
Oh and I STILL can't figure out what the fuck to do to fix that problem I have with the tutti frutti on the opening steps. Normally this only happens on vertical textures that are only 92 pixels and they don't tile properly. It's only happening on 2 of the steps so I don't know what the fuck I'm doing wrong.

>>1641772

I'm thinking there's a breakdown in communication somewhere going on here.

Can you give us screenshots as to your process?

>>1641740
Was using fraps. It's not amazing, but it works and is easy to find a crack for.

>>1641517
>>1641527
>>1641629
>Is there a program that randomizes the levels in an IWAD

Here, I made this just now for you:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/04xuieupuax2yj5/Map_Randomizer.wad

From the about.txt in the file:

Map_Randomizer.wad is a singleplayer (g)zdoom-only mod which randomizes map order for players. At the start of each level it will warp the player to a random level.
It is compatible with all iwad maps, all pwad mapsets using either E#M# or MAP## naming format that have the full 36 or 32 levels, as well as Pistol_Start_Options.wad

>and forces pistol start? I already asked this a couple of threads ago, but I got no response.

Pistol_Start_Options.wad will cover that for you, as well as a couple of other options.

For more info and download link:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/67715-zdoom-pistol-start-options/

>>1641802
This is awesome, I'm actually going to go ahead and use this. I'm not the guy who asked for it but this could totally add new blood to some old WADs.

>>1641802
Thank you! You are a wonderful person and I hope you have a happy day!

>>1641805
Glad it will see some use.

>>1641809
You have a great day too! Hope you enjoy it!

>>1641796
okay here's what I'm using

I played some sample levels to something that was supposed to act as a sequel to TNT: Evilution, much like Plutonia 2, has that been finished yet?

>>1641814

What happens if you put something like unloved-1c.pk3 in the External Files selection, select Doom2 as the iwad, then hit Launch?

>>1641814
NERVE isn't an IWAD from what I remember, neither is the Action Doom 2 bonus content. Just sayin!

>>1641814
External files are your PWADs
Put your mods there.

>>1641814
>NERVE
>Action Dooms
>Harmony
>Strain
These are PWADs.

>>1641840
Harmony's an IWAD, actually.

>>1641840
Urban Brawl and Harmony are IWADs.

>>1641836
>>1641840

NERVE is NRFTL.wad, or No Rest For the Living, the xbox episode

>>1641836
>>1641838
>>1641840
>>1641845
>>1641851
I told you guys I had no idea what to do(at least I'm able to play the games, Heretic's been pretty cool so far, love the Lightning Gloves)

>>1641859
You got either ZDL or IDE, so if you cannot work either, you can always do the manual way of either drag n drop, or making .bat files

>>1641859
You may want to consider using the manual method--instead of using ZDL, take the wad/pk3 and drag-and-drop it onto ZDoom.exe

>>1641868
okay so I figured out how to load No Rest For The Living and Strain, how would I go about loading a .pk3 like Aeons of Death(or making a .bat or PWAD from it)

>>1641880
I tried doing that, it just got a bunch of errors and wouldn't execute

not sure if lasers actually do this

in fact I'm pretty sure they don't

>>1641450
>>>/vg/

>>1641885
You load a pk3 just like you would a pwad. I do not use ZDL so I could not tell you on that.

>>1641885
here's the error log for when I tried loading Aeons of Death by sticking the .pk3 for it on ZDoom's .exe

>>1641887
You are literally gay

>>1641886
>Note: Cyberdemon died on his way back to his home circle of Hell

>>1641893
Is AEOD updated to work with the latest ZDoom?

>>1641893

Did you load both AEoD.pk3 and AEoDdat.pk3?

>>1641909
Do you need help with music? Serious offer.

>>1641895
this one fared better

>>1641916
Fuckin Altoona man? My cousins live there. I'm from Williamsport.

Wouldn't kill ya to smile in a picture.

>>1641904
I actually didn't have AEoD.pk3, only AEoDdat.pk3, so I'm downloading the file now

>>1641918
The last time I smiled in a picture, someone photoshopped me into Harry Potter.

>>1641926
That is something to frown about... Forever.

Anyway. John Carpenter EP sounds bretty gud honestly, for old FPS music (doom in this case). Dig it.

>>1641916
Wow, nice! I'll definitely send you an email or something, we gotta collab at some point.

>>1641917
That's hilarious.

Could someone explain me why thre is a little hole that goes to the imp in the cage in the first level of Doom II?
It is in that little room with too imps and a stimpack.

>>1641957
It's to make sure that the imps in the hidden room can hear you when you shoot your gun.

>>1641957
I think it's so the imps in that room can "hear" when you shoot.

>>1641961
Is there any way to get that armour on E1M2?

>>1641965
>>1641961
Nailed it.

For another example of this, check out the pentagram teleporter in E1M9.

>>1641968
What armour? ...The green armour dead ahead?

>>1641972
Yes.

>>1641961
>>1641965
Couldn't they just make a special wall that doesn 't block sound or something?
I had wondered about the reason of that little hole for years now.

>>1641974
>just

Likely not.

>>1641974
>Couldn't they just make a special wall that doesn 't block sound or something?
Yes.

>>1641979
>Likely not.
Ehhnk! Wrong. Romero could have done anything he wanted if he did it right. When he thought of something he wanted to happen in the level, he would literally code out a new line special for it to happen.

That said, there IS a way to do it without the hole but I'm not sure any vanilla id map actually does it this way. You can join the sectors (different from merging them--joining them) so that the monsters in the hidden sector wake up. I've used it in two of my 200minute maps so far to wake up teleporter monsters.

So, it's possible, but back in the day it was probably just easier to throw them in a thing

>>1641973
...You just go grab it, it's near enough to the edge that you can pick it up.

>>1641986
holy fuck man

>>1641921
man this download is taking forever, I was able to beat several levels in Chex Quest(which is pretty awesome so far), and it's only a little over a third done

>>1641985
They have the same ceiling heights then.

I usually just make a hole small enough that you can barely see it. Simple.

>>1641990
Yeah...have you just been missing it this entire time?

>>1641994
Yeah.

Is it possible to have ZDL start on the title screen?

>>1641991
Yeah dude, AEOD is huge as fuck. Why do you even want to play it? it sucks, it's overloaded with bullshit, it's literally a "throw everything into this wad" wad. You'll enjoy it for about ten minutes and then want to delete it.

>>1641992
>They have the same ceiling heights then.
I don't see why this is a problem.

>>1641998
it sounded neat(and I'll admit I'm a sucker for games/mods with tons of content)

>>1641994
HOLY SHIT YOU WERE NOT KIDDING

>>1641961
All this time I seriously thought it was a mistake/error from the first game and the z&/gzdoom guys left it there for nostalgia.

No, no, seriously, I've played Doom since I was a kid/it was new, and I never knew this.

>>1641774
will never unsee. well played, sir.

How to cause monster infight,the.jpg

I know the chances are low, but is there anyone that tried to mod models into gzdoom?

>>1642050
The only thing i remember are those quake-like 3D models that look like shit

But Voxel made models? nop

>>1642052
Shit, I meant "anyone here that tried ..."

I managed to convert a voxel to a 3d model but I can't seem to convert it into a gzdoom compatible one

Phew.

>>1642067

You haven't been authorized to deathmatch yet Samus.

>>1642000
In MAP01 it'd look funny i mean.

>>1642030
GZDoom guys didn't change the levels at all. Why would they?

>>1641996

Set it to start on map 0, I think that's how I did it.

>>1641996
>>1642101

Wait, I made a mistake. Set the skill level to "none" for it to go to the title screen.

>>1641802
>>1641805
>>1641809
>>1641517
>>1641527
>>1641629

Went ahead and integrated Map_Randomizer.wad into Pistol Start Options, as well as updating it to the new Space Pirate.

Rather than a separate file, level randomization is now handled through a cvar:

random_level_order -- setting this to "true" or 1 causes the player to be warped to a random level at the start of each level. This works with all iwad maps and all pwad mapsets using either E#M# or MAP## naming format that have the full 36 or 32 levels. Whether the player is given a pistol start reset is up to their cvar settings.

There is also a new function which immediately warps the player to a random level, this can be bound to a key and is by default unbound. Whether the player is given a pistol start reset is up to their cvar settings.

Full info can be found in the about.txt in the file itself or here:

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/67715-zdoom-pistol-start-options/

Nearly finishing my tank. Finished the HUD, movement, and damage detection systems.
Soon I will be able to release a demo, I just need to finish the demo map.

>>1642190
had no idea you could do vehicles in Doom's engine(kinda makes me want to see a full on Battlefield-esque IWAD/PWAD for Doom now)

>>1642190
Getting flashbacks of Battletanx global assault. This has alot of potential; Do you plan on adding more types of vehicles?

>>1642234
>>1642250

There's been millions of attempts, including Mark's previous motorcycle--just about every attempt to get it working right has been horribly clunky.
Even if you look at the webm, you can see the tank body lagging behind the turret a whole ton, and you can bet there'll be absolutely nothing hampering manual aiming so that you can swing the turret left and right willy nilly without any weight.

>>1642250
Yes. I do have plans of making a Helicopter and a modified version of my motorcycle that allows the player to carry a shotgun Terminator 2 style.

>>1642252
Actually the tank body only lags on the driver's point of view. Somebody seeing the tank from outside woudln't notice it. Adding height to the aim is not possible on Zdoom. (as far as I know)

>>1642279
>Adding height to the aim is not possible on Zdoom. (as far as I know)
? what exactly do you mean by that

>>1642283
*weight

Excuse me.

>>1642291

Make the turret a separate actor and make it a_warp to follow the player with a maximum difference that the new position can be from the previous position each tic. Have it fire by giving the player an item that it checks for.

Did Unloved 2 ever get finished? I know it was in beta a few years back

>>1642297
I don't even think this is possible on Zandronum, and if it is, it would generate an atrocious delay during online play.

>>1642279
>Adding weight to the aim is not possible on Zdoom. (as far as I know)

And this is why all attempts at getting vehicles working have been horribly clunky and the concept is inherently doomed to fail.
Vehicles simply don't behave and move the way people do, and unless someone is willing to code an entirely new aiming system, the only options are either to remove aiming entirely (which results in incredibly stiff and unfun vehicles like the motorcycle) or to make a brand new ACS-based aiming system (which is a fuckton of work for something that might not even work and is guaranteed to not handle netplay well).

>>1642328
>Did Unloved 2 ever get finished?
Nop.

>>1642336
Only if you aim at ultra-realistic vehicles. Arcade-ish and unrealistic vehicles are the best option to go with Doom.

>>1642334
This isn't THE sergeant mark, is it?

>>1642334
a_warp isn't zandronum compatible but you could have them call a_fire and set their angle each tic compared to their old one with a script, shouldn't be too laggy.

>>1642349

We're not even talking about "ultra-realistic", we're talking about the most basic gameplay behavior--not turning 180 on a dime.

>>1642030
>and the z&/gzdoom guys left it there for nostalgia.
Neither Zandronum nor GZDoom edit the IWAD maps or any of the content; they merely play it. This is why, for example, when you play Doom 2 in GZDoom there aren't 3D floors and slopes everywhere

>>1642358
The most basic gameplay behavior is to make the tank's base to not move in the same direction as the player's camera, and allow the player to drive the tank's base into different directions. These are the basics. They were not even able to do this on Quake 4's tanks, so, I think I am one step ahead already. Everything else, like the turret turning speed, are just details.

>>1642350
Yes, it is.

>>1642372

I don't even think that there's a function in Zdoom yet that lets you force sensitivity. I know there's a function in Zan that forces you to move forward without stopping

>>1642372
>make player slower and have different sprites/weapons
>I am one step ahead already

can't wait for the inevitable article about how this revolutionizes doom and has never been done before

>>1642372
>The most basic gameplay behavior is to make the tank's base to not move in the same direction as the player's camera, and allow the player to drive the tank's base into different directions. These are the basics.

No, this is "doomguy with a different player skin".

How many Doom mods have their own site? Moddb page doesn't count

Off the top of my head comes Reelism, Action Doom 2 and some (if not all) the pre-2004 Doom TCs

>>1642372
So you... thrust the player based on an angle that isn't GetActorAngle(0).

Yeah, that really is basic.

>>1641683
i asked if someone was recording this so thank you

I'm >>1642357 >>1642297 and I think you can add weight to the turret aiming in zandronum (not zdoom) by using ConsoleCommand and mouse_sensitivity.

Try storing the player's mouse sensitivity by

int m_sensitivity_playernumber = (GetCVar("mouse_sensitivity"))

and then every tic while the player is in the tank

ConsoleCommand("mouse_sensitivity 0.5");

or whatever reduced sensitivity you end up thinking feels correct, either more or less than 0.5

and then when the player exits the tank turn their mouse sensitivity back to whatever it was before

also imma repost my earlier post about cvars that you missed so that you can stop HUEing about with mutators and use cvars instead

>>1641694
yes same, my reactions are too slow or something

>>1642439
Well in case you're still here, or for anyone else reading, here is a basic rundown on cvars. Most of this post is copied from one of TerminusEst13's posts (https://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/1296087/#1299775)) but there are a couple additions of my own (most of which are a result of having knowledge I gained by looking at samsara .31's code.) I didn't >quote Term's bits because it would make it harder to read.

To put it very very very simply, cvars are basically numbers registered into the player's .ini file detailing the exact nature of their personal settings--and each setting all comes down to a number. It can be as simple as sv_nojump 1, which disables jumping, or dmflags3 16 which allows friendly players to pass through each other.
Think of it as your own personal board of switches where you can enable or disable options as you please.

They've actually been in ever since the console was introduced to ZDWhatever, but only recently did ZDoom give modders the ability to make their own. With Zandronum, though, cvars can only be manipulated and adjusted through ACS, thanks to ConsoleCommand.
Making your own cvar is easy enough, as it's just basically one simple script:

script 550 OPEN { if (!GetCVar("my_cvar")) { ConsoleCommand("set my_cvar 0"); ConsoleCommand("archivecvar my_cvar"); }}

What this does is when the level opens (OPEN), it checks to see if the cvar exist (!GetCvar), and if not it creates it (set metroid_noaircontrol) and then saves it in the player's .ini (archivecvar metroid_noaircontrol).
Simple!

From there, the server can adjust and set the number of the cvar to whatever they want in the server's console. Determining behavior based off the cvar's setting, however, is up to what the modder wants to do in ACS.

>>1642446
Consider this simple script:

script 551 ENTER { if (GetCVar("my_cvar") == 1) { GiveInventory("SuperShotgun",1); SetWeapon("SuperShotgun"); }}

This is a (very primitive) recreation of Zandronum's Buckshot mode, as whenever the player first enters the map (ENTER), it checks to see if my_cvar is set (GetCvar == 1), and if so it does a simple GiveInventory to give them the SSG right from the start and then sets it to their active weapon.

For zand's cvars created as above, they're whatever value the player sets them too, so there is no distinction for a boolean or a floating cvar. This is not so in zdoom, where there are different varieties of cvars and they are set in CVARINFO rather than through acs as above. See http://zdoom.org/wiki/CVARINFO for more info.

It's also important to note that you have to make sure in zandronum that you're correctly assigning a cvar as a clientside or serverside cvar. I don't know that much about serverside cvars (for those talk to term directly), but for display things that only one player will see, like a different hud, more or less or different gore effects, you would use a clientside cvar, which would have to be declared in a clientside script. Declaring such a cvar, which will be used in clientside scripts, in a non-clientside script will cause desync issues.

>>1642447
These can be used pretty easily in decorate, here are the two easiest ways:

First you'd have the following scripts:

script 998 (void) clientside
{
SetResultValue(GetCVar("cvar_mycvar"));
}

script 999 (void) clientside
{
if(GetCvar("cvar_mycvar") == 0) { SetActorState(0,"StateName1"); }
if(GetCvar("cvar_mycvar") == 1) { SetActorState(0,"StateName2"); }
}

Then in your decorate you could use

TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(ACS_ExecuteWithResult(998) == 1,"StateName")

Which would cause a jump or not depending upon the value of cvar_mycvar

You could also use

TNT1 A 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(999)

Anywhere in the actor and it would force the actor to either the state "StateName1" or "StateName2" depending upon its value.

You could also do stuff with scripts giving inventory items or not depending upon cvars, or other similar things, but all of that should be easy to extrapolate from everything so far.

>>1642291
Hideous Destructor does it - if I had to guess, it gets your mouse input and shifts your angle back depending on how large the change in angle/pitch is.

Setting angle and pitch for the console player in clientside scripts works perfectly fine (see Parkmore), so online lag is not an issue. However, I imagine it'd be jerky with uncapped framerate, since once a tic isn't enough when you have more than 36fps. Still better than SUPERFAST SWIVELING TANK BARRELS.

If the tank barrel actor is +CLIENTSIDEONLY, with some trickery getting the barrel placement to be clientside is doable. I think I gave Term some stripped-down ACS from HATS!!! to do that with Samus' gunship. Basically, you have to refresh it every second or two to make sure newly-connecting clients get the memo, but otherwise it's fine. Keep in mind you only get player pitch when you start F12'ing someone, but you will always get player angle.

well, the TWID wads were made not by a single person but rather a team (Team TWID in this case); it should be noted that this new project being TNT + Plutonia, should obviously deviate from the style that D2TWID followed, so we can rest assure that whatever gets released should be as fun (and hard) as the original work

You know, this is sad but true, D2TWID over exaggerated some mapping "tropes" (for a lack of a better term, pls no bully) from the people that worked for Doom 2 (MAP09 being a HUGE turnoff just like the original); it was E1M5 all over again, you saw some stuff that either Romero/Hall/Petersen/McGee wouldn't had put in their maps

if the lift goes back up (sector 19) while you're in the soulsphere secret you get stuck in there and can't get back out.

The lift shouldn't go back up; it's a floor lower special, not a lift.

Oh shit you mean the initial one. Yeah I guess I hadn't considered that, but a simple line special on the back should fix. I'll do it tomorrow

How's the ammo/health balance?

Do you pronounce UAC like an acronym? If so, how do you do it?

>>1642753
>How's the ammo/health balance?

fine more or less. i suppose you could leave yourself short of plasma at the very beginning if you use it on troopers and then leave yourself having to pistol demons.

i admit i was a bit spoiled by reading a comment about plasma gun with limited ammo, so at first, i was deliberately conserving it and using the pistol more than i usually would bother.

then, playing it again, i knew where to go to get lots of plasma to start off.

>>1642753
>a simple line special on the back should fix
that's the obvious fix but i'm afraid it won't work in vanilla - the new special line will eat keypresses before they reach the bars, so you won't be able to get in there at all...

>>1642795 (me)
>then, playing it again, i knew where to go to get lots of plasma to start off.

I prefer IDE, but Doomseeker is bundled with Zandronum, so it might be more convenient to use. IDE automatically records demos, can be set up to play singleplayer wads with whichever settings, has a built in IRC chat, and does a lot of little things that I appreciate.

Those of you who have made/are making maps, how have you conceptualized your map?

It doesn't feel good, the weapons have no impact. The fact that some enemies take like 1000 hits to die and that you die with one bullet is annoying at best. I know it tries to be like Contra or Metal Slug, but it doesn't fit with Doom that much IMO.

Doom 2 Reloaded?

Does anyone know how to get Doom 2 Xtreme to work properly? I've been trying to get it to work for like 2 years now. The problem is that the weapons don't behave like they should Tried the latest SVN build of GZDoom, Zandronum and PrBoom+, without success. What should I do? Is there something I have to tweak in one of them?

>>1642821
I actually hadn't considered the player could grab the plasma ammo in the green room first off! Huh.

Also I wish I'd watched that before I fixed the map because it turns out your solution is a much cooler secret because then it requires the player to think more about how to "get up" there.

>>1642858
I think your fix changes the intended behaviour a little bit. I managed to fix everything just by adding a little more space between the blue bars and the lift, and adding a simple walkover trigger to lower the lift when the player approaches it. Simple and effective.

Also, get dropbox, dude. No one will know it's being downloaded from your dropbox. And...you don't need to edit urls to paste them, I just paste urls literally all the time. You don't even need to do a web upload, you can just drag and drop it into the folder on your hard drive and then right click and get the URL. Could not be easier.

Anyway, here's my finished version with the secret fixed:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/03n6gvjar9ujjzk/Computer%20Array.wad

>>1643009
Usually I don't start building with anything at all, except maybe a map name that can roughly inform things. The other thing is I usually start off by picking what texture theme I'm going to go with--techbase, hellbase, psycho hell, Doom 2 hell--and go from there.

I try to keep in mind that architecture and rooms should be interesting and varied, so I usually build a large room to start with and come up with some windows into other areas or build a big interesting structure. Romero said that it was good to give the player something cool to look at in the first screen of a level (if the first screen isn't a doorway, anyway, like E1M3 or E1M4) and if you look at his levels, this is generally true. Build something with steps or some kind of raised platform or something, and make it a weird polygonal shape that isn't just a rectangle or octagon. Make it a weird shape that doesn't have the "right" amount of sides.

Then I just build out from there, making a series of small, cramped hallways that lead into bigger, interesting rooms. I also usually plan for big "fights" throughout the level, and then tailor the map's weapon and ammo loadout to that.

The best way I think of what to add and what to change is to just stare at the map or play through it, and think, "There should be something cool happening here." I usually tend to draw a room and go, "There's gonna be a door here and an exit to a hallway here," even before I know what's behind the door and where the hallway leads. This way you always kind of have an idea of what you should do next--"I have to build that room where the yellow key door leads."

Has a dark creepy atmosphere but it's different to Unloved. T.O.P has a more lost techbasey feel to it instead of Unloved's silent hilly feel. It also is a bit less detailed and with more combat so the creepy factor is not the main thing.

okay played this now.

1. with vanilla game physics (doom2 complevel in prboom-plus) the six pillars in the final room are blocked from lowering by the monsters inside them. it would be great if you could move them inward so they don't overlap the walls. (pictured, two of the pillars, note how the red boxes overlap the lines). it is a shame to require boom physics in a map that is otherwise purely limit-removing.

2. it's unclear to me why sector 70 is now secret. there's nothing in it that suggests it's a secret or that i should enter it.

otherwise, and apart from the two places where the level prevents backtracking (which may well be intentional), i have no more complaints. great job.

Trying to run PRBoom in RetroArch. It crashes whenever I try to load a level in Ultimate Doom (able to get to the main menu). Doom 2 can't even get to the main menu, I get the message

Retro arch is a multi-console emulator most known for having a pretty decent home brew Wii port

I'm not that guy but I had the same problem just trying to run Doom 2. I'm guessing the functionality is borked

Moot says doom is retro so it goes here. Suck it.

>>1643720
did he say general threads are allowed on /vr/ ?

sorry for playing devils advocate but i am curious

>>1643718
that is true, this is definitely a more quiet corner of the website

>>1643725

People have bitched to Moot about doom generals many times over in the past, Moot laid the dumb argument to rest by saying Doom is Retro and it's fine here on /vr/

Why people get their titties in a bind over this stupid shit is beyond me. That being said I shudder to think what would happen to the quality of these threads if they were moved back to /vg/

>>1643730
The one time I made a Doom general thread on /vg/ about a year or two ago, there were barely any people actually contributing. Everyone else was like "reported" and "makes this thread on /v/ first".

I'm starting to learn how to use the doom builder. It seems the information is readily available to learn that, but what about information on how to design a good map? Aside from just analyzing good maps, and thinking about what you personally enjoy about a map, is there any resources that can give information on this?

I love pirate doom, project MSX, and wild weasel's style mod

>>1643775

I tend to like mapsets.

2: Dissolution
3: Crucified Dreams

What's the story behind Donald? Why did he suddenly start shitposting in the thread? Is that the game guy that got banned from IRC and then started shitposting in the thread afterwards?

I just tested D2XGOLD.WAD and D2XGOLD.DEH.

In zdoom 2.7.1 I am getting graphical errors with some of the weapons (pistol, chaingun),

however, with zdoom 2.5.0 , the weapons use their graphics properly.

I suggest you keep a copy of zdoom 2.5.0; I am finding more and more older mods having conflicts with newer versions of zdoom in some way or another.

>>1643789
Open platform I think.

>>1643794

You can. It's just a hop and a skip.
The majority of people seem to be leaning towards "no cage", though, so I'll just lower the damage of the lava and make it easier to swim out of.

>>1641858
It still isn't an IWAD. NERVE.wad only had like 9 levels IIRC.

>>1643831

>NERVE.wad only had like 9 levels
Doesn't matter, since it still gets loaded like an iwad rather than a pwad. Like shareware Doom.

i posted my 200m map a few threads ago, but ill post it here again for fun.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/20gkhjjuhhd1xra/vanillalvl.wad

I'm trying to get chocolate doom to run The Sky May Be wad.

I extracted everything into the chocolate doom folder and made a file called Doom 2.cmd with the follow chocolate-doom -merge _smb417.wad -deh blessed.deh.

But when i try to run the command i get this error.

>>1643909
>chocolate doom
fuck off
Only a dead chocolate faggot is a good faggot

>>1643919
Well this is my first time ever using it and i read that it is the only one that will support this wad

>>1643909

Is Sky May Be even chocolate-compatible?

Ignore the shitposter. We've had an influx of them today, for some reason.

I really like Crucified Dreams, it's fucking gorgeous, but the thing is, I don't play DM.
Is there anything similar to Crucified Dreams that's single-player?

Just finished Doom 64 for the first time.

Well, that was beautiful.

Download Slade, put the Dehacked file in a wad, load the wad(s).

The Sky May Be is now ZDoom compatible.
It's really not that hard.

>>1644038
I don't get why the dehacked files weren't put inside the .wad file already in the first place. Did that happen often in the 90s? I know doom 2 xtreme did that too which is why it puzzled me for so goddamn long as to how to get it to work right.

>>1644074

Vanilla DOOM can't load .deh files inside WADs, because .deh files aren't a thing that it looks for or applies.

You had to use DeHackEd or some other utility to apply and remove the patch to the ,exe directly IIRC.

>>1643275
>>1643287

Does anyone else have this image, I just came back to read the thread for doom mod suggestions and that thread is no longer alive.

>>1643290
Is the unloved 2 beta abandoned basically? In other words, this is the closes we are going to get to unloved 2?

Unfortunately it looks that way. The author is doing independent games now, last I saw.

Also hey! The Space Pirate Neo for Zandronum 1.2 is out! GRAB IT AND PLAY IT! http://www.mediafire.com/download/85p2jpzeea837lr/MK-TheSpacePirateNeo%28v012aAlpha%29.zip

>>1644206
>When's The Space Pirate gonna get on there huh?

Well you said you wanted to talk to me about it and never did so NOW IT WILL NEVER BE INCLUDED MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>1644206
What does Neo 1.2 have?

>>1644221
It's pretty much identical to GZDoom's 0.1.2 version! The only thing it doesn't have is Mag Sling, everything else is in proper working order. But the short list of new stuff is the Dahlia Crossbow, the Toolbox, and the multiple shell types for Zeke. Plus a bunch of other stuff I forgot!

Am I one of the only doom enthusiasts here that really just does not enjoy Doom 2 overall? Doom 2s level design is all over the place, many of the levels feel poorly constructed to me. In addition, the color palette is pretty terrible, its green and brown textures everywhere. All the zones feel very identical as a result.

Don't get me wrong I love the additional enemies and weapons Doom 2 brings to the table, but the actual campaign itself I have always found lackluster.

>>1644242

A lot of people here dislike DOOM II's level design.

>>1644242
You're not alone in not liking Doom 2's levels.

Bloodfalls and the Chasm are shining examples of really unfun levels.

The enemies added are great though and were totally what Doom 1 needed.

>>1644242
>>1644251 pretty much nailed it. Doom II may have had cooler monsters and the super shotgun, but the level design was just atrocious in the later areas.

>>1644242
No, that's a really common opinion.

I think The Living End is a great level, though.

>>1644242
Did Doom 2 have some sort of development problems that might explain this?

>>1644301
do you consider Romero playing deathmatch almost 24/7 a "development problem"?

>>1644301
Quite a lot of internal conflict.

anyone know how to find out mod controls? I want to.. cuddle girls in HDoom

>>1644301
Romero (arguably the best mapper of them all), was seldom around, and didn't do much work.
The fame got to his head, and would peak with Dai-Katana, where he would crash and burn.

>>1644306
It would have been nice if he made deathmatch levels.

I think he'd know how to make a great deathmatch level.

>>1644310

Hit F1

>>1644313
Also, it kinda seems like the Earth setting restricted their creativity. They had to make levels with a semblance of "realism", instead of just making fun levels with good flow.

>>1644345
Hellbound had a pretty good variety in levels.

I think Doom 2's earth setting could have had more progressively demonic levels after each of those intermissions.

>>1644348

id software needs to be at the top and the illustrations should be by adrian carmack or something

>>1643009
Is that the David Caruso "Fuck you" pose?

>>1644348
okay I legitimately kek'd

>>1642919
Software lighting, son. Assuming you're using GZDoom, make sure gl_fog_shader is 1 and gl_lightmode is 8, or at least 2 with Zandronum.

// Sector lighting mode. 2 and 8 fall back to 3 if shaders are not supported.
// 0 = Standard: Uses a standard OpenGL formula.
// 1 = Bright: Uses a weak fading keeping sectors relatively bright.
// 2 = Doom: Approximation of software renderer, with GLSL lighting.
// 3 = Dark: Same as 2 but without proximity brightening.
// 4 = Legacy: Emulates the Legacy 1.42 OpenGL renderer.
// 8 = Software (GZDoom only): A GLSL emulation of the equations used by Id to generate the colormaps and distance lighting.

OR just use the software renderer to get the look of the PSX screenshot.

I can't even begin to imagine how much of a baaad idea this is going to be in the long run.

Micro rant, but this pisses me off. Rant over.

But seriously, I hate people trying to raise money for fan projects. It's completely dumb.

>>1644571
You weren't kidding when you said micro rant.

I can see why they'd want to get paid for it but at the same time it's not the right way to go about it.

They should do what that Metroid 2 guy is doing and just making an entirely new thing.
I'm assuming the Doom fan project is just going to be a standard mod.

>>1644354
The horn should be changed to a shotgun, and the suitcase maybe a berserk pack. I'd do it, but I don't think I have the shopping skills to really pull it off.

The worst I am at was that I enjoyed AEoD for a year of my dooming career and that I played way too much OBLIGE when I could have been optimizing actual PWAD runs.

>>1644573
From the very little I read, he's wanting to raise money to pay someone else to do his art. The artist is pretty okay, but what the hell is he going to be using $2000 for? How much art does he need?

>>1644581
Chances are he's going to ask for some spritework or textures on a wall and then pocket the rest.

>>1644568
>asking for funding
>for a fan project
Sorry but that nigga is just gonna have to pay the artist out of his own pocket, cut back spending, save up his own money.

If he really thinks that's necessary, that is.
But shit, 2000 dollars isn't a tiny amount of money.

All the original Doom levels were intended to flow just as easily in SP as in deathmatch. Yeah, seriously.
