That was Doomworld's doing, take it up with them. There are a couple of things that people around here seemed to want to win more, since while Brutalist Doom had a great pun it was just that, a pun that was funny the first time you loaded it up and got stale midway through map02.

If you really think you'll never work on them again, and there's unique stuff in there that might interest others or be useful in other projects, consider releasing them in their current state for others to continue or pick through and use in their own projects.

If you think you might work on them again but need help finishing them, consider bringing someone else on to help you bring them to completion.

If you think you might go back to them someday, but don't want to right now, maybe wait and see if you still feel that way in a month or so before deciding what to do. If you have enough to throw together trailers or presentations or whatever for the projects maybe put those out there so you can gauge reaction. Might help motivate you and would be useful to determine which one is most worthwhile to finish.

People trash it because terrywads are not fun unless you're a 13 year old kid with spaz, and the rape jokes from something like UACMN aren't even offensive, you're just talking out of your ass. That and UACMN is just plain shit and not worth the weight to even review it for the mockawards.

I give you the part of how the fuck it won the mockaward when Laundry 2 was the best contender for the title, but you have to admit that getting salty over a simple pallete+texture wad is very stupid

The important thing is, terrywads are not going to be worth the weight of getting a mockaward because they are simply shit with more toilet humor than AVGN, and you cannot deny that UACMN is used the most to make a shitty attempt to crash Best-ever or at least fuck with players because of the key config wads that basically swap your name to "LOLISUCKDICKS" and unbind all your shit. For that sole reason people hate terrywads and they are also banned from BE

To be fair, I can agree with this sentiment. Doom maps are meant to be played with Doom weapons. So when you have mods that radically alter how the game is played, it sometimes doesn't work so well.

I at least wish people that make the gameplay mods would give some examples of maps that work well with them.

Those other people can fuck off though.

my problem with brutalist doom is that it fails to evoke the feelings of brutalism.

most brutalist archetecture is that good ol' sandy petersen tan/brown...not stark grey. Doom 2's default maps already express brutalist tendancies with some geiger-ish motifs thrown in here and there.

I mean look at some real brutalist buildings -- they're not grey, but a desaturated tan!

>But at least partially I choose to blame the Doomworld community for that, too, often complaining that mappers should restrict themselves to more basic features so the ZDoom-naysayers can play them, too, in their engines of choice - meaning Boom features at most.

I think the blame is more towards the speedrunning side of Doom's community (which a fair amount of doomworld's mappers belong to) loathing the fact that zdoom is terrible for recording demo's with. Every new version effectively breaks older demos. As such, theres much less incentive to do any speedruns on zdoom maps.

I kinda wish we had a port thats more advanced than PrBoom+, but still kept demo compatibility as a priority. I used to think Eternity would be this, but its actually behind PrBoom+ in certain features (OpenGL and Portmidi, to name a couple), and i believe quaser isn't even interested in keeping boom demo compatibility, just vanilla.

Inset your doorways. What that means is, put a sector on either side of the front and back of the door that is about the same width as the door. Now lower the ceiling until it looks good. Also, with door textures, try not to make them longer than 128 units.

Now, since it's a key door, you want to put some 8-unit wide border textures of DOORRED or the skullkey texture (if you're doing skullkeys). Don't just use that lighting you got there because many players won't take that as a hint.

Open up E1M2 and look at the red key door in the opening room. Do that. That looks good and it's what players expect.

Nobody responded the first time because your post makes no fucking sense. Are you asking how to draw new monsters? Because tl;dr learn to draw. You can get far with frankenspriting but only so far.

If you're asking how to take a sprite sheet of a monster and put the sprites in a game, get SLADE and start fucking around. If you want to learn how to code the monster so it actually shows up and does things, get SLADE and start fucking around with DECORATE. Look up tutorials on the Wiki.

Exactly what do you mean?

Anyway I looked at your screenshot again and you're using a shitty new tiled door; what you want is the actual BIGDOOR2 type textures. You're also asking how to add more textures but you're already using goddamn CC4-TEX (aka the most overused texture pack ever) so no, you don't need anymore textures. Learn to use what's at your disposal before you expand it. When you are literally frustrated because you have exhausted every possibility with the default textures, then IMO you're ready for new ones.

It's like when people start doing music with a digital workstation; they can make literally any sound so instead of mastering how to use a few to sound amazing they just pile on 70 things with shitty presets without learning how to make it all work.

Also, try to make asymmetrical layouts or shapes, this will make your map more interesting. And don't forget Romero's "rules" eg. changing floor height with floor textures and using border textures (SUPPORT2/3) when changing textures.

For texture alignment, there should be hotkeys to fiddle with each wall sector or, failing that, you can manually adjust them with the arrow keys. I think the auto adjust one is "a," and it's shift+a to adjust it vertically.

Yes, it is you being a faggot. Players want the big fucking familiar DOORRED shit around locked red doors, period. This is an established convention going back literally to the in game maps, and jettisoning it for random retard shit like red lights along the wall is just going to confuse of frustrate a player, especially an experienced one. If I see a door from across a room and don't see DOORRED or DOORBLU etc around it, I assume I can enter it without bullshit. Follow the convention, it exists for a reason.

>Second floor as in a second floor, where you get there through an elevator. Of course this is actually after I finish the first floor.
You know Doom can't do room over room, right? Even if you're explicitly in UDMF you'd have to do a fuckload of 3D floors and weird shit to make that work. Connecting two unrelated areas at different heights with a lift is much easier, and can (for your purposes I guess) be considered a "second floor" but nobody who actually builds Doom levels would call it that.
Also, separating your map like that makes it kind of boring and one-dimensional. A better idea would be to build the area so that the two "floors" are interconnected and visible from each other, like E1M4's intro area. That has a second "floor" that really works.


> I can lock 6 different types of doors with red, blue and yellow keys and skulls, right?
That all depends on what map format you're in. Vanilla Doom/Doom 2 makes no actual distinction between the keycards and the skullkeys, there is simply red, blue and yellow. Boom (and thus ZDoom's Doom In Hexen and UDMF formats) added the distinction between keycards and skullkeys and also added some combo shit. I dunno because I don't mess with UDMF or boom. What map format is your map in?

>Also, my problem with doors is that they look kinda stuck to the wall. Should I add a frame to them or something?
Do what I said earlier: INSET YOUR FUCKING DOORS. Open up E1M1 in Doom Builder and look at how the very first door in the goddamn game is constructed. There is a sector in front of the door, between the "room" and the door, and it has a lower ceiling than the rest of the room. This creates a small short "hallway" or "doorway" that looks good.
You also did not "need" that big door texture. You could just as easily edit the map so it was appropriate to use a 128 width door, the standard width of a door. If you want an area with a larger door, then here's a docking trick: Put two doors next to each other with a small wall inbetween. Problem solved, no shitty patched together texture needed.

I see your problems starting, you want to just do things your own way because you're starting out, but there are some vital conventions that are very quick ways to make your maps looking 200% more professional and more like "real" Doom levels instead of something you shit out in a weekend. Other things I would suggest to beginning mappers is choosing a texture and then designing the room around that rather than vice versa; lots of times in the early going I would draw a room and then texture it with a random texture and I would have a headache trying to get it to align but if you start with the texture first, then you'll be fine

Maybe you should learn some things about the engine limitations, because they can change drastically depending on your map format. You still can't do true 100% room over room in UDMF but you can almost fake it, IF you plan it right.

>I think it was on UDMF. How can I check'em it?
When you load your map in DB, there will be a drop down box that says "Map Format." When you have the right format that your maps are, they'll appear. You can't, for example, load UDMF maps as Doom 2 maps or Boom maps.

>I'm reading it now. Also, I've noticed a door problem. I set it to be always opened when I press the use key, but it only works on one side. I've checked the properties of both lines and they are the same. What is wrong?
It's impossible to actually tell without looking at the map (or at least a screenshot) but my gut tells me that you haven't checked which way the linedefs are facing. See that little tick halfway across the door linedefs? That determines which way the line is facing. Many linedef types (especially doors and switches) can only be activated from the "front." Click on the back of your door to highlight the linedef and press F.

It's the name, "lost episodes" always implies some really cool new shit, but the reality is the "lost" episodes are usually lost for a reason.
Also, the "lost" episodes of Spear of Destiny had an entire texture and enemy replacement, so that probably helps the perception.

Honestly, with a slightly different/enhanced weapon set, a texture upgrade, some reskinned/replaced monsters, and a new soundtrack, it could very well be something cool and unique; it could hold a nice place with the original games (taking place on Mars) and BTSX (obviously being on Saturn...X) and form a loose "continuity."

IMO the weapons wouldn't be a full overhaul (i.e. Eriguns, which somehow seems oddly suited to BTSX) but probably something more like the regular weapon set with some alpha shit cycled in. Chaingun replaced with machine gun, BFG replaced with alpha BFG, that kind of shit. Maybe I'm just dumb though.

So "4th Time Around" is Bob Dylan aping John Lennon aping Bob Dylan. The last lines in the song are "And I, I never took much/ I never asked for your crutch/ Now don’t ask for mine"

Kegan is Bob Dylan to TerrminusEst13's John Lennon.

I don't agree, I think it works. I'd perhaps have chosen different textures, but this isn't terrible.

You can make a door that's an octagonal sector, or a triangle, I don't see why you can't do a regular door with a split linedef, hitting the linedef with your usekey makes the door sector open, regardless of it's shape, you can open and close it from the other side, right? In fact, since you can close a door from the other side as it's about to open, or from whichever side, what happens when you hit the other linedef from the same side is that the door closes or opens, as if you opened it from the other linedef, or from the other side.

It's been done before.
In my opinion, it ends up looking like shit because the high res textures clash something terrible with the simple geometry of most stock Doom maps.

Hi-res textures would fit if they were used in a mapset specifically made for them, with detailed map geometry.

Also, a pet-peeve of mine is that every single hi-res project for Doom bites off more than it can chew by insisting on going for something like 6x res or 8x res.
Why? It will first of all look like absolutely cunting terrible because of the limited frames of Doom monsters, and then the limited rotations, what looks ok enough in original res will look clunky and awkward as fuck when the graphic frames themselves are scaled up, without adjusting everything else with it, it will very much look like you're fighting cardboard cutouts.

And why can't they just settle for 2x res? It would not only be a million times easier and faster (and not to talk about better looking), but it could probably be made to be visually consistent with a geometrically rich mapset using 2x res textures.

>> No.2140746

>>2140713

I don't like it. It contrasts too much with the low-res sprites, the low-res pickups, the low-res sounds, and the simple geometry.
Being "faithful" to Doom would require making everything hi-res, not just textures.

And at that point you're just not really playing Doom anymore.

Anyone here know how to code Brutal Doom? I'm having a problem with my Shotgun script. Anyone willing to lend a hand?

1. The shotgun starts out with the ADS mode sprite, and flashes every second or so into the regular non ADS sprite, then back to ADS, and so on.

2. It kinda reloads. Upon pressing R, it doesn't reload, instead it gives me an ACS error saying ACS doesn't know what reload is. Yet every other weapon reloads just fine. (I have tried using the Brutal Doom reload keybind and the default GZDoom reload keybind) But it does reload exactly as desired after shooting all 6 rounds and then attempting a dry fire.

It's because Mark has terrible code formatting and doesn't ever clean up his code. That part's just appearance though.

The real killer is because he regularly does what is considered a "bad practice" in coding: he fixes things as they break, and if it appears to fix it leaves it as "good enough" without rewriting the code to prevent things from needing that hotfix or exception once he understands what caused the issue in the first place. Sometimes he doesn't understand what caused the fix to work, but again figures it's "good enough" so long as it works. This included for the longest time having a zillion errors on startup, unless he didn't fix the startup errors in the current version in which case it still does. While a lot of stuff in ZDoom modding does have to be hacky, it's different when the hacks are there because there's no way around it rather than the hacks being there because of laziness.

True that 2x is plenty. However, Doom's aesthetics scale poorly to very high rendering resolutions as well, and break down with look pitch. Higher resolution textures aren't a greater indignity against Doom's look than shit that pretty much everyone does. Oh, and ill-suited bilinear filtering. God that looks bad.

Nah I don't mean that god-awful, worse-than-nothing trapezoidal distortion approximation, just that the architecture and (moreso) sprites are only meant to be seen at the one pitch. Pitch looking significantly alters gameplay as well (high resolutions do as well, to a lesser extent). It's a fine innovation for WADs that intend for its use, but using it in the original games is a goddamn joke. Surely it's more of a concern for "are you really playing Doom?" than a mere texture pack.

Aiming rockets at enemies' feet (or straight into the Icon of Sin) is a p big deal. So is seeing enemies below or above. Or shooting any weapon outside of autoaim range.

Pistol rounds are bad, but I dont think I have ever seen what an individual shell on the floor looks like. Its always behind a corpse or underneath a pile of bigger sprites.

Speaking of ammo, the entire ammo system is pretty shit.

Ugh.

>even the zombieman replacement can drop mines and grenades while a cacodemon may give shit like 3 revolver bullets and stun gun battery. Ammo on the actual map is almost irrelevant for most guns, the bulk of your firepower will be completely random drops
This alone should already make even maps made specifically for SUAB unbalanced as fuck, since you can end up with hundreds of rounds you cant use yet or get loads of grenades from the weakest of enemies, whoever

>.38 Revolver is so useless even with upgrade

I've nerfed the Fatso replacement by a few hundred hp.


>Calico hurts so little that it has no real use unless you have no other rapid fire weapon

It's not meant to be a DPS-type weapon, but more for peppering groups of low-hp monster.


>Unusually long pause between after firing and when you can reload, even if you fire an empty gun

Due to the Author's decision, that weapon-shake animation makes the weapon -very- unreliable, and since I was sorta wanting to port the weapons/enemies faithfully, I had to work around this a bit, it's sitll not 100% reactive, which makes me annoyed.

Fully aware of that but honestly the shotgun clears crowds out better and if you have access to a Flamethrower you can clear out those crowds in seconds with just 20-30 fuel thanks to it's piercing.

Calico is just really really bad, can't even kill a Cacodemon with 100 bullets.

So I tried out Shut Up And Bleed, and it's certainly cool and interesting, but it's so fucking tedious, the revolver is practically worthless, does way too little damage and too inaccurate, I know .38 Special is a pretty mild round, but god. The first good weapons I found was the VP70 and the hunting rifle (the only weapon I have found as of yet that feels like it has any power to it), but then I see my character load the rounds individually, rather than using the stripper clip the rounds came on, but then, there's a scope in the way, so fair enough, you couldn't strip a clip into the magazine that way, but it just makes me wish that either the scope was out of my way, or that the .308 rounds came in a loose pile.

I went to pick up the armor in the left room in E1M1 (after spending over a minute kicking two gray imps in the face), and then some gooey slime fucks came out of some corpses, that shit was cool as hell, and the monsters are cool, but they take so long to kill.

This is terribly balanced as a gameplay mod, this really cries for it's own mapset designed for it, this would be perfect for some sort of RE1 or RE2 styled survival mapset.

I gave it another run, I decided, just for the hell of it, to tweak the damage of some of the weapons, make most of them hit a little harder (also put in some dark and spooky skies to fit the mood, and put on the PSX Doom soundtrack in the background, makes a great atmosphere), and it does help, but one of the big flaws I've noticed are pickups.

Loose bullets you find all look way too similar, I walk over a pile of ammo that turns out to be .22LR, not even looking the part, .22LR is a tiny, rimmed little round, it wouldn't look anything like 9mm Luger, it's the one on the left in pic related. All the loose pistol bullets look the same size and shape.

I mean, I could see mistaking 9mm for .40 or even .45 at a distance, at least if it's a pile in the dark, but I should reasonably be able to see what kind of ammo lies in front of me. This is a particular problem when I think I'm picking up bullets for one gun but it turns out to be bullets for another gun, and I'm already full with those, and that's really frustrating.

There's also the billion fist sized gems in all the rainbows colors and they all seem to be doing much of the same thing but just vaguely different.

Problem is you cant make a map with tight ammo or anything of the sort with this wad.
Every enemy drops a million different ammo types and ammo packs turn into several different kinds, you're required to have every weapon in order to play fairly.
I finished Grosse and still didnt have that burst pistol or the crossbow. I restart just to test and both the map01 shotgun and 02 SSG were crossbows. I turned idclip and run to see the replacements and not even map07 gave me a fucking shotgun.
A silent weapon is interesting and all but not even the slow ass sniper is guaranteed to kill an imp, so there is a gigantic jump in firepower between the 2 and the shotgun.
Then you have the problem that only 1/3 of the shell ammo morphs into actual shells, so if you get unlucky you can get only bolts/rifle rounds from like 10 supposed boxes, so its bad balance even if you have all the weapons.
Everything suffers from this. 20 cell packs are either 4 stun gun charges, 15 crossbow bolts or 7 fucking .50 rounds. Those things kill cacos with 3 shots.
Even better : rocket boxes. Technically the average damage is not much different since its mines, .50 or gasoline, but NONE of those are useable by one of the rocket launcher replacements, so something like e2m8 can give you a grenade launcher and zero ammunition for it.
Random loose ammo from kills too! Stronger enemies give more random drops, not random drops of higher quality. Kill a zombieman and get a grenade. Kill arch-vile and pic related.
The only exceptions are nazis and the bosses, but those dont get much better. Cyberdemons can either give you a gatling gun that stunlocks and kills other cybers/masterminds with 50/150 shots or...NOTHING! Either a gun that will rape everything or nothing at all. How the fuck is anyone going to balance this shit?

Combat is okay. Cacos and archies are retarded for opposite reasons in most maps, but a map designed for it would fix it. Problem is random ammo/guns and iSpook wont fix it.

The ZDoom wiki is your friend.

You really should be reading it. But if you insist, you should make a SNDINFO lump and put "misc/w_pkup NEWSOUNDNAME" in it. Make sure the sound name is under eight characters.

Generally speaking, though, and contrary to the usual 'chan behavior I'm generally in favor of following people's requests if they're the original creator, since it sets a good precedent and overall makes less of a fuss.

Actually the author threw a bit of a fit because someone else was making a fork of my port that used modern features, and didn't contact him via pm.

And losing pace isn't that bad, considering the only thing left to add is the last three weapons.

No one is saying you wont fix it because you're an asshole, but it kinda IS your fault that the ammo system is retarded. You knew from day one that it would be like this and did it anyway for free.
You didnt only port it. You upgraded it. You changed enemies and fixed some minor flaws here and there. You posted frequently asking for comments, suggestions and sometimes sprites.
Now you're literally pulling the "I never said the mod itself was good" card and "b-but its faithful to the original, blame CT instead!".
You're seriously telling me you cant even make rocket boxes turn into something you can use with a rocket launcher replacement? Not sure if I can buy that.
Relatively easy changes that would still be faithful to the mod :
- enemies drop ammo quality depending on their difficulty, not fully random
- divide big ammo boxes worth by 2~3 and make all spawn together, instead of one random ammo
- ammo replacements actually match their original intended ones, no crossbow bolts replacing cells
- berserk packs are always flamethrowers, stun knife may appear instead of the .38 upgrade
- monsters with 3~5 drops instead drop more ammo of one kind, not crap like 1 round for 3 different weapons
- game either spawn the weapons you're missing or SSG is always the shotgun and plasma rifle is always the eagle, with cattle prod going elsewhere, anywhere, even together with soul sphere will do
- loose ammo flies a short distance instead of landing underneath the corpse
These alone already fix 95% of the problems.

2.) While these suggestions are fine and all, its not the scope of what I was trying to do. The only two reasons I changed the enemies were either:

A.) The projectiles they used didn't match what the original mod had intended them to be (Aka: The Turmoil's original projectile was a fucking mini-bfg ball with the trail being the bfg ball's death frames) Or they were crap. (The Pestilence's original projectile sprites, which was just a Revenant projectile ball with odd looking bone peices stuck to it)

or

B.) They were massively unfair (Nerfing Malbourge's health, Reworking the Gluttonous soul's kamikaze attack/Eye of the unforgiven) and wouldn't have been fun.

What I set out to do was to port the mod over from Edge to Zdoom/Zandronum. That's what I told myself what I was doing. I dunno why I thought expanding it into this "partial TC" nonsense t at some point.


>you just said yourself that you changed enemies because they were unfair

If these enemies were just doing more damage then their Vanilla counterparts, I wouldn't have messed with them as much. But considering:

1.) Both these enemies could EASILY one-shot kill you, even if you had a full 200 health and 250 blue armor.

2.) the way both the enemies did it was VERY unfair (The Lost soul replacement's insta-kill explode was over 255 units, and the Prop enemy was nearly invisible, and it fired basically invisible projectiles that homed, bounced and did 50k damage)


> plus you changed the crossbow as well

All I did was to make it's spread not uselessly wide, and cut the reload down from 3 bolts per reload loop to 6 because waiting for the weapon to loop 10 times was a bit silly, especially if you suddenly find yourself swarmed.

I like the idea of cartridges/chips/peripherals being weapon pickups

What if there were different cartridges he could pick up that gave his zappers different effects based on the games, and could swap between them at any time
So like a Mario cartridge would give him bouncing fireballs
A Megaman cartridge would give him a charge shot
A Metroid cartridge would give him missiles
Ninja Gaiden would give him a sweet sword

I did the following with SUAB
>upped damage on most weapons
>put in some dark night skies to set the mood
>put on the PSX Doom soundtrack in the background, also to set the mood

Result:
I had fun.
No, I really did. The mod has inherent flaws, but I did enjoy it, I'm on E2M4 now, and it's cozy as fuck, the dark and creepy atmosphere is fantastic.

I've begun running into the lost soul replacements, and let me say, FUCK THOSE THINGS, FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUCK THEM FUUUUUUCK THEEEEM- ahem.

Reloading and switching weapons is a bit clunky. The Sparkshot gun feels kind of needless, only holds two charges, and I only ever use it when I'm desperately switching between weapons (because reloading is usually too clunky to do in combat), and I just discharge it's shots and reach for another gun.

Now granted the first level or two of each episode is a bit of a rough spot since you have to rely on the bad .38 and knife, but it's pretty manageable.

Doom 2 is much harder on ammo at first due to Mancubi and sometimes spammed Barons.

>> No.2145231

shrug. if putting your friends face on a wall is the thing that motivates you into mapping, fair enough. plus, putting a photo on a wall texture hardly makes a terrywad. does conCERNed count as a terrywad because the final boss is a picture of some dork on his holidays? no of course not.

Considering the SC55 pack I downloaded has the exact slight differences aswell, I'd say its legitimate. One very noiticable difference is that map14/22 start with a cymbal, where as map08 doesn't.

horizontal scale is 16 units per foot, but vertical scale is 10 units per foot.

also must multiply by 6/5 to compensate for aspect ratio.

thus we have 56 * (6/5) * (1/10) = 6.72 feet tall. he just under 6 foot 9.

For DOSBox? You need the GUS files in a folder on your mounted C directory and then point to it.
Here's a download for it
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9gz1tm02zob

There's two variations in it, the main difference being how the instruments sound. ULTRASND411 is the factory version, experiment between the two if you want.

After extracting one to your mounted C directory you can name the folder whatever you want, like I have mine as "ULTRASND" so then in my DOSBox conf's I just point to C:\ULTRASND

>> No.2145580

>>2145561
No, but you can take the MIDI folder from that download to use with G/ZDoom, just place it inside the same folder, boot it up, and then in the console type
>gus_patchdir .\MIDI
(or whatever you renamed the MIDI folder to)
Then in options change to GUS and hit Restart Sound, GUS should start working then at least it did for me.

Then why didn't you just say so, Anon, you silly goose?

Epic 2, PCPR, UAC Ultra, these are three modern classic megawads for Doom 2 that are challenging, where the application of the proper gameplay .wad can be just the ticket, sometimes even in an odd way, much akin to the combination of milk chocolate and tortilla chips, the chips baked into one another, and you'd think "Well THAT can't be a good combo!" but you try it, and they play off each other marvelously.

Think about your favorite gameplay mods, what theme would they fit with, if you really stopped and thought about it?

Another couple of vanilla Mapsets are Vanguard, Community Chest 4, Hell Revealed (a renowned classic of many many years). Of course, a lot of these mapsets are certainly on the more slaughtery end of the spectrum, requiring a good bit of profession and skill.

>> No.2145808

>>2145773

If you want some mapsets, then ask for some mapsets.

Stuff I've been playing through recently that's not exactly the usual bastion of "everyone knows this shit" (quality not guaranteed):
Aeternum.wad (love the shit out of this)
deadhere.wad
IMPOSS.wad (love the shit out of this)
oniria.wad
rot90fix.wad
defiler.wad (Starts out pretty nice, gets so damn dull halfway through)
RYLAYEH.wad
vv.wad and vv2.wad (Little seven-map mapsets, pretty nice variation)
thy wicked.wad (One map romp that's pretty fun)
