the whole thing was just asking for its merciful death

-hey, let's add to the dev team someone who can't even finish his own fucking projects and hasn't even finished the first map!
-hey, let's mimick oblige 4.28 geometry!
-hey, let's crowdfund our project in order to get better design art, because that's what doom wads are all about, right?

at this point the doom bible's curse is worse than the curse of the bambino

>>2223231
why don't they just release what they got?

>>2216298

Its goin fine

>>2223238

the doomworld thread got locked -literally- to avoid hurt feelings, and the zdoom thread is deader than dead while people want to join when they haven't done a single map in their entire lives.

it's pretty sad, really.

>>2223246
Cool. Must admit I've never cared for those railing textures. Not saying to change them though. Not convinced about the grate in the lower right either. Doesn't look solid - a load-bearing grate? Might just be the angle though. Good work, keep it up.

>>2219939
>Look up wads, end up reading somewhere, I forgot where, that most wads and shit is made with the higher difficulties in mind and with no care for the lower difficulties, some of them aren't even playable on anything lower than UV

Most big name mappers do actually put in the effort to balance HNTR and HMP just as much as UV. However, most doomers nowadays do not find Doom 2 UV that difficult or interesting anymore, and find the Plutonia and Hell Revealed UV styles more fun. This is why you never see many projects have a skill setting that resembles Doom 2's HNTR or HMP.

No name mappers tend not to bother balancing the other difficulties, but generally maps that lack difficulty implementation have all skill levels identical. So I'm not sure I understand what you mean by unplayable on anything lower than UV.

>>2223251
Can't we contact the faggot via PM and ask him for the file?

Hey I want to start creating WADS for Doom. What map builder and version of doom should I start off with??

>>2223091

I thought about making it switch off when you disable running. But I'm not gonna add a drop button. There's enough buttons in GMOTA, and as I've said before, it's obtuse enough as is

>>2223278
Thanks, The grate may be removed in later versions. Here's another pic

>>2223301
DoomBuilder 2 is mainly the best. Most people map for Doom2

>>2223304
ok and what version of doom 2 is the best to get? Just the original?

>>2223302
Speaking of shitload of buttons, can the super jump in shinning knight actually be second jump in midair and not a separated button? Its incredibly awkard to use.

>>2223304
I use GZDoom to make my maps. Is this ok?

>>2223343
no one plays gzdoom. you need to map for vavoom or 3DGE

>>2223361

>>2222978
>>2223241
>>2223246
>>2223303

That's what's up. Always good to see some more people sticking it out through mapping. Here's another screenshot from a different level of the same wad as the last screenshot.

Keep up the good work anons.

>>2223343
Depends. Its usually perfectly fine. However, if you aim for Traditional gameplay (ie, standard weapons, enemies, everything), take note that a good chunk of the audience behind such maps are speedrunners, and prefer using demo compatible ports, like vanilla/chocolate, and PrBoom+. Unless you use a good deal of gzdoom/udmf features to justify requiring gzdoom, you may receive annoyed grunts from some doomers (particularly at doomworld) for limiting port compatibility over just one or two things.

>>2223419
Personally, if I'm mapping vanilla, in general, I'll stick to vanilla sourceports or make them as compatible as possible.

The few times I use UDMF or z(doom in hexen) format is when I'm mapping for zandronum.

It's also my opinion, but fuck mapping for gzdoom.

/vr/, what megawads are the most beautiful?

>>2223425
A.L.T. has some pretty cool set pieces in a few maps.

>>2223425
Back to Saturn X has some of the best visuals I've seen in Doom. The only map I would say looks better is Putrefier, which is a one-map GZDoom wad that pushes the port to its limit. BTSX is vanilla compatible and it blows away everything in between.

>>2223439
>Back to Saturn X has some of the best visuals I've seen in Doom.

BTSX looks great by Vanilla standards. Though there are limit removing and boom maps that look better.

>>2223451
Name some.

>>2223472

Not him but, while it's not a megawad, Hell Ground is pretty awesome

>>2223184
I'm sorry, I had to.

>>2223425
Action Doom 2 is pretty damn impressive.

>>2223451
BTSX pretty much edges on the limits. They had to split E2 into two wads because of a file size limit that can crash vanilla (which apparently, also potentially corrupts DOS)

God damnit - we just put together an OP image too.

Maybe next thread?

I did this big Lydia sprite for my title screen today. I've also gotten that stealth engine running in my mod it's pretty fun. I need to draw a silencer on her Brenten though. Maybe I'll have the altfire option to remove it?

>>2223828
it looks like she got slapped in the face way too much

First attempt at mapping, aside from things like texture alignment is it decent?

>>2223828
Awesome! Altfire for removing silencer sounds really cool. Also, is her pose based off of the Blake Stone title? It looks familiar!

>>2223834
pretty good, you should only raise this hole in grass a bit

was listening and thought about you guys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYaBEVKBoik

>>2223839

Cool, thanks.

>>2223735

That kid on the couch. This shit is hilarious

And damn. GMOTA needs a new title screen

>>2223837
You have a keen eye and great taste.

>>2223735

I like this one too

>Eriance retired
...
Now i am sad now, and not because of demon's eclipse cancelation[that thing became the half-life 3 of doom for me], mostly because we won't see a monster spriter as badass as Eriance in a life time, i hope the man has the best life from now.

>>2223325
The original. To my knowledge using the bfg edition wad will make some mods uncompatible. Look in the pastebin for the iwads if you need them.

>>2223920
nice filename

HDoom now supports visual novel-triggered sex scenes.

How big is this map?

>>2224143
why

>>2224160
Because nobody ever said not to.

>>2224176
I'll allow it.

>>2224150
>hellbound map 29
I'm just going to say one thing
Project MSX plus that map = 100% fun
that map is big as shit, everything you see can be explored
You see that mountain?
You can climb it
Enjoy the ride

>>2224181
I want back on to Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.

>>2223828
Depending on how you do it, you could make it an inventory item that you trigger, that way you can still have an alt-fire attack.

>>2223834
Looks pretty good actually. But yeah, raise the hole in the grass so it's only one or two pixels deep.

>>2223419
portable map => massive increase in replay value from myriad gameplay mods
>>2223472
several in sf2012 - map28 in particular i believe could have won a caco all by itself

quite, you want a wind-up one instead, can't have the batteries running out haha
>>2223735
who is we? "the modding company"? some kind of mapper collaboration?
>>2223839 >>2224210
haha that's exactly what i thought
>>2223842
a mod where you play as revy might be interesting.
>>2223875
this one is better, it's obviously doom-related. can't help but think the first one is free advertising for somebody...

>>2223921
Did he retire for real this time?

>>2224250
i believe the consensus from a few threads ago was "yes because otherwise why would he essentially blank the opening post of his thread"

Barons and Beyond - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=1062

another monster level from the dark ages. meant for co-op or using super weapons on skill 4. it is playable on skill 3 though. you will get horribly lost, the switches to open doors are usually on the wrong side of the map, the keys are hard to reach, many doors are unmarked, it has all kinds of weird progression forcing far too much backtracking. that said it grows on you once you've learned it, as seems to be common for this kind of map (see satan/satan666 a few threads ago for another example)

>>2224229
it's a joke on how demonsteele beat out gmota for caco

Finally made an actual item out of my old idle mirror animation. For how damaging and fast enemies are in the stealth mod, this thing is so handy. It's sgt.mark's mirror.pk3 file, and god damn do I wish I could figure out how to center the viewing window above the eyes. I've never compiled an ACS before, and every attempt to do it turns into a failure. Ah well, I got a ton done today. Fraps fucking murders my framerate in new gzdoom, christ almighty.

>>2224282
neeeat

>>2224282
>It's sgt.mark's mirror.pk3 file,

?

>MIDI music versus Mp3 music

File space aside, do you have any qualms about players using Mp3 music in their maps?

I've thought (but not minded at all) that the modern-ness of the Mp3 music contrasts strangely against Doom but that could just be me.

Mp3 music allows greater variety in music and I don't mind it if "used right" but it's hard to know what using it right even is.

Thoughts?

>>2224316
Yea. I'm glad I saved it because I can't find the pk3 on google. I recall it used to be on the zdoom forums..pretty sure it was mark that made it, my memory isn't what it used to be.

>>2224282
Can you make it playable with only one hand?

So guys. With GMOTA's new shield mechanics there's going to be a bit of a problem:

It's not going to block melee attacks. So I suggest you hit them first before they hit you.

>>2223869 >>2224282
>warning: graphic violence
heh
>>2224321
what are you doing with the other one..? ewww

>>2224257
>"yes because otherwise why would he essentially blank the opening post of his thread"

and he also posted two links with everything about the project including non-finished sprites. once eriance gets three monster spritesheets finished he's done with the community.

it's almost the same case from a year ago when another great graphic artist -NMNPaul- left the community to pursue a career in arts or something, and all that he had left to do was a final strip for a comic.

>>2224319
>Yea. I'm glad I saved it because I can't find the pk3 on google.
I found it by googling "mirror.pk3" and appears it still exists on best-ever. Or at the very least it just has the same name, haven't tested it yet.

>>2224337
Nice, thanks for that. I think this was done by doomkartguy and not Mark, at least that's what's commented in the acs file. I wonder if I'll catch shit for using this in my mod? I really don't know who to properly credit for the code.

>>2224339
>I think this was done by doomkartguy and not Mark
according to the archives, yeah ( >>981682 >>983559 )
and i don't think he will

>>2224318

Every decent sourceport out there supports MIDI, the original .exe supports MIDI since 1.5 or something. If you know how to set up Timidity you can also use custom soundfonts that improve the output quality of the MIDI files if you're tired of the cheesiness of Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. MP3s are lossy, MIDIs are just sheets.

When it comes down to Mp3 or any other "real" audio files (ogg, flac) it all comes down to how it's used in projects...

>but it's hard to know what using it right even is.

Hell Ground does it right. Hell Ground was a GlBoom/GZDoom project done by Eternal which was arguably ahead of its time. Truecolor textures, gorgeous architecture and alright gameplay. The thing is, the audio files accompanied the greatness of the project and they never were a detriment. See (and hear) it for yourself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq_NmGmI8eI

Since Hell Ground wasn't your common WAD, Eternal took the liberty to include non-MIDI music to build the not-doom atmosphere even further. And it also helps that .ogg files allow better audio quality compression compared to MP3s and both sourceports support said format.

Now, let's compare this to another project which used "real" audio - Damnation

A 32-level WAD with no custom textures (as far as I can recall) and it came bundled with MP3 files from the get go. As you said previously, let's avoid the filesize issue (the project was around 120MB because of this, which arguably was the biggest letdown and a reason it never won a Cacoward), and focus on how it was used. Did it help build the atmosphere? I don't think so. The author was forced to upload a non-MP3 ver. of his project to /idgames because people weren't interested in downloading the project as how it was intended, not because of the filesize, but because the project would've been the same with or without the MP3 files.

And with all due respect, most of the cases where you find MP3 files it's because it's the author's first map ever.

and I've compiled my first acs file ever! After some headscratching, I finally got the image to show up exactly where I want it. It would be kinda cool if I could figure out a way to make it round, but this is beyond good enough to me.

>>2224365
I have been using doomsday engine for a while now and i like the models but i think i could do better but i can't work out how to extract them.

anyone here that can explain it?

ZKVN is now hosted on GitHub
https://github.com/DaZombieKiller/zkvn

>>2224365
That's ridiculously cool! Also pretty original, I don't think something like that has been done before.

>>2224386
I'm really happy with it, and I've learned a ton from building this. Hopefully I might be a coder yet! Down the road anyways...

>>2224393
Keep practicing and you'll definitely improve. Learning to code is like learning another language.

Don't forget to ask for help when you need it though, if you can't find a solution online, many people will gladly help you out.

>>2224365
Camera textures can only be rectangles, sorry.
The only proper way is to print the mirror via HUD and print your mirror / hand shit yet again via ACS with a low message id, so the layers would be:

>mirror frame
>actual mirror
>weapon sprite

I suggest you create a rectangle mirror

>>2224386
Kinda reminds me of appleseed movie from 2004 with the camera on the suit that extends outwards to view around corners.

can't imagine mecha suits for doom as the levels wouldn't be large enough but power armor or exoskeletons would fit the bill.

So, Will anyone ever re-create doom 3 in doom?

>>2224370
Please help.

>>2224456
>levels wouldn't be large enough
doing shogo-like downscaled levels is possible

What was the drama about regarding BlueEagle and Unloved 2? I don't want to bring up bad feelings by asking Doomworld. Why caused him to stop?

>>2224463
Do you want to extract the 3D models from Doomsday's 3D model package? If they're pk3 files you can just unzip them with WinRAR or 7zip (or any other program you'd prefer)

>>2224468
Didn't work with Winrar.

>>2224472
>Didn't work with Winrar.
Nevermind, However MD2? How the hell do i open it.

>>2224458

If we're speaking of the Doom 3 monsters in 3D, then it's been done by Doomero; the one who somehow, someway, does amazing shit that just werks in Doom engines.

As of February 9th 2015 no one has done a full blown TC of Doom 3. We have direct rips from

-Doom 3 monsters
-Doom 3 weapons
-Doom 3 sounds
-Doom 3 HUD

As for Doom 3 assets done in classic Doom style, we have

-Doom 3 weapons

And that's it. There was a Doom 3 monsters mod being made in the ZDoom forums but no progress has been made in almost two years.

>>2224473
blender?

>>2224467
He just lost interest in it. I'm not sure if there was any drama (that I remember), but he moved on to indie game development. Which sucks, because Unloved 2 looked so hype.

>>2224485
What a waste.

>>2224340
DKG actually did something useful and non-cuntish?

Whaaa?

Neat.

>>2224365
Would look more impressive round, but it's really well done as is.

>>2224484
>blender?
I don't use blender, I'm a max user..

>>2224476
Wouldn't be that hard to make the models but doom doesn't do multilevel that well.

>>2223842
>>2224229
I've been thinking about a Black Lagoon mod for quite a while (I did a skin for Revy and Dutch + the cutlass berettas ages ago). Might act on it someday after I finish some of the other dozens of things Ive started.

>>2224569
could be cool
maybe have maps sequenced like in anime, as in few maps making a mini episode story arch
mapping for this could prove challenging tho

I've been trying to get my friends into doom lately but we cannot agree on the lives situation for co-op. I was wondering if there was a WAD where if a player dies they can be revived, but if all players are dead the map resets. This way, players are really punished when they die in a tough spot, and players would need to work hard to get them back.

>>2224571
I would love to see more colorful urban environments in Doom.

>>2224576
I could do it if textures could be scaled and truecolor, modern game engines spoiled me

Sigh. STILL GOT A BIT TO DO.

>>2224318
I dislike that the Russian Doom community has this obsession with mixing midis and mp3/oggs in their wads

>>2224325
Is that an actual problem or did you deliberately made it this way?
You could make it like doomrla and have all melee atks do melee type damage.
SHING = 100% melee damage reduction while it lasts. I dont think it protecting your back is an issue unless you're completely surrounded, but that should kill anyway.

If it doesnt block melee for balance purposes... do the same thing but reduce only lost soul damage then pls.
Depending on how fast you can throw shields, its going to be a problem.
Why is the weak sword throw even gone anyway? It was great for these fuckers if you were using shield/torch.

>>2224476

You guys remember me?
I was ranting about how Samsaras Duke is different from the original one.
A few days ago I started to reply DN3D again (highest difficulty = "Come get some") and DN64 too.
Wrote down all differences and patched them in Samsara. Now it's finished and compatible with all IWADs (bonus: replaced Freezethrower by my version of the Expander). I do hope he plays exactly as in DN3D/DN64 (welp, a 100% replica is not possible, but should be as close as possible to the original one).
Feel free to test him.

>>2224386
>>2224365
Someone did... I don't remember who, but I remember this being done before. It was a stick with a mirror on it though.

It'd be cool if He made the frame square to fit, and animated the sprite to match rotation. You'd have to scale the other cameras output though, and I dunno what the limitations are here.

Still. Neat.

FWIW i think it's cool that you've done the work to fix your issue yourself rather than expecting others to do it for you

>>2224887
Yeah, I never got into it either.

But props to them for making what is basically a brand new entry in the series rather than just a stitched together map pack for the original game like the PSX games.

Also, a lot of people seem to think it's great, so it must be doing something right.

>>2224805

Dark ambient music makes this a thing. There is just some draw about creepiness and ambiance. I listened to the background tracks of SH2 so many times and it just sounds great for some reason.

>>2224887
I loved the cool new features it had, and the puzzle elements. But the lack of Chaingunners, Revenants and Arch-viles made it not all that challenging in the monster side of things. I guess they'd have been overwhelming for a controller user, though.

I also did not understand its map numbering. Regular levels are maps 01-24, 28, and secret levels being 29-32. With the three bonus levels being 25-27. Would've made more sense to me if they numbered it 01-25 for normal levels, 26-29 for secret levels, and 30-32 for the Bonus levels. But oh well

>>2224990
Revenants and Chaingunners were on PSX Doom though.
Revenant rockets were slowed down massively though.

>>2225001
Revenants had considerably slower movement speed aswell, IIRC.

Good time also. Did you try out any of the other wads I came across?

Never mind i'm retarded, didn't realize it was multiple wads being loaded together.

>>2225054
the vaporware demo was pretty good. but that was for the eternity engine.

>>2225054
Cheogsh 2 had an amazing looking cave system towards the end of the wad, one of the most immersive things i've ever seen in Doom.

>>2224909
New sprites are just a hue/saturation slider away!

>>2223509
that shotgun really needs to be replaced, it looks pretty cartoonish.

why not use the ones recently released by Eriance?

>>2225260
looks fine to me, there are plenty of cartoonish things in the mod, but they still fit in.

>>2225232
Some people do things to further their knowledge or experience about what they're interested in, or they just do it for amusement/enjoyment.

>>2225265
Nothing wrong with liking Eternity. It certainly has potential.

Was making a comment, cause I've seen posts from some of its fans on doomworld who don't understand why people havent migrated to it.

So, how are those maps going?

Pic related, I hope you like crates.

What is this bullshit
Is is supposed to be impossible? Like a kind of joke map?

>>2225294

Not impossible, but pretty good at rustling jimmies.

>>2225294
If you read the doomworld thread, he specifically states that its harder than Vanguard and Lunatic.

>Is that an actual problem or did you deliberately made it this way?

It's an unfortunate side effect due to the retooled shield and how it blocks now, it uses static projectiles to block shit, and melee attacks are a weird exception in doom.

I removed sword throwing cus it made doing combos a little stiff at times

>>2225304
There's waaaay more than just 3 in that map.

>>2224356
Thanks for the detailed post, sorry for the late reply but we're all over the world here.

What about mp3 music that is remixed tracks of Doom's tracks?

I've sort of felt like the detail of an mp3 track contrasts against the detail of Doom but that might just be me. Good example on Hell Ground there.

>And with all due respect, most of the cases where you find MP3 files it's because it's the author's first map ever.

Heh, my first map used MIDI but it was only half-done and I've decided to stop it to peruse something else based on feedback I got here on it. I was looking at using a Quake 2 track in it.

>>2225232
i'm surprised you listed the menu system. prboom+'s menu system is more or less the boom202 menu system, but with dozens and dozens of new options forced into it. as a result, it has evolved a great deal of clutter. isn't the general menu 9 pages long now? chocolate doom's ultra conservative philosophy came in part so that it doesn't grow a huge menu of options like the boom-based ports did.

i can't speak too much about navigating eternity's menus, but frankly all doom port's menu systems are dreadful, simply because all doom ports have so many options. i think a lot of them could be relegated to "edit the config file if you want to change this". but modern computer users and editing text files don't mix.

>>2225310

>>2225338
The pages in the General menu are easy to switch to, by pressing left or right. I do agree its a bit cluttered though. Original Boom 2.02 menu was only like 2 pages iirc.

Eternity engine's menu bothers me because you have to move your hand to press pgup and pgdwn keys to switch pages, or press up and down dozens of times.

>>2225260
isn't that the same as in action doom?

What times?
I kill stuff almost exclusively with sword/punch combos and it never felt stiff.

>>2225606

It feels like my sword attacks hang up when I'm hitting the fire button rapidly.

Also if I bring back the sword throw it'll probably be more along the lines of an actual throw rather than a boomerang attack, is in the sword flies out, hits a wall or the ground, then you go pick it up

Free aim on or off? I feel like with it on you can abuse sections of map you shouldn't even be shooting in at the time, but how can you know if a specific wad is balanced around it or not? Is it best to just have vertical auto-aim and horizontal free-look?

>>2225640
Off.

>>2225640
I generally play with mouselook on, but try to avoid taking shots I wouldn't be able to do without mouselook, i.e. sniping enemies from outside the autoaim range.

New beta of BD v20 is up. Did anyone found any bugs on the latest beta?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/44taxsb4dy38xi5/brutal20test-feb09-2015.zip

- More improvements on blood.
- New death animations.
- Improvements on water effects.
- I am restoring the destroyable bodies. So far, only the zombieman has this feature.
- New marine classes will be added. So far, the only one is the Purist Marine. He has a vanilla version of all weapons using modified Perkristian smooth weapon sprites. (chainsaw not done yet)
- Added Doomnukem's wooden grip shotgun as default skin.
- Many improvements on kicking animations.
- Removed player weapon skins. They were bugging the crouch animations, and also, now I am able to add more animations and will be easier to handle new player classes.
- Added more animations for the player.
- Water will make a big splash when you jump on it.
- Gibs will be crushed when you jump on it.

As always, report any bugs found.
I just ask to please not repost this link on facebook or moddb. Once this thread gets 404'ed, let the link sink.

Will it just be weapons that people start off with or will there be real variety?

>>2225732
>Added Doomnukem's wooden grip shotgun as default skin.

I'm pretty sure he didn't want his stuff used for BD-related things.

>>2225732
I thought Doomnukem said he didn't want you using his stuff at some point? Genuinely curious.

>>2225732

>>2225747
yeah, there was that "hardcore doom wars" thing that just straight up ripped everything and he got sick of it

Enemies shooting in water will flinch in pain.
Same for Revenants walking and the like.

>>2225739
- A shotgunguy marine that has more "ridiculous" gameplay. He can dual-wield SSGs, use dragon breath rounds on the shotgun, has rocket launcher alt-fire to fire bouncing grenades, etc. He takes 10% more damage.
- A female marine that is 20% faster movement and has much more variated and stronger melee attacks. She can also use the old plasma gun that fires faster and has the plasma-thrower alt fire. She takes 20% extra damage.
- Chaingunguy Marine. Takes 30% less damage, but is 35% slower. Starts with Minigun and 100 bullets. He can't use the kick, but instead, he gets a sprint for a while that allows him to knock down any small enemies that gets in his patch.
- Purist Marine: Vanilla weapons, no kicks, no fatalities, etc.

>>2225747

you srsly need to go back to the iron sight sprites you were using for the shotgun and rifle in v18

Man I don't even have to read the rest of the classes to know that I want this.

>Female marine with focus on melee
So she will have amazinger jump kicks?

Not a fan of the increased damage taken for a melee character but I'm interested in the class anyways

Also hopefully she has a bit more going for her because the Shotgun marine sounds amazingly powerful with just the SSGs alone.

>>2225760
I will think about it.

>>2225773
Yes, of course he will be avaliable. I'm also thinking to let him be the only one that can perform fatalities and do combat rolls, to keep him more unique.

>>2225764
Yes. And she will take more damage because she was supposed to be able to only beat one monster at time. I want to make her able to kill a baron without even needing berserk, but being bitchslapped by 3 or 4 pinkies.

>>2225595
Enjoy map 07

>>2225640
I usually have freelook off. Just mouseturning. I never really saw the point in looking up and down in Doom. Fake 3D bridges become more apparent that they're fake with freelook on. And there are rare cases where freelooking allows you the possibility to shoot switches far earlier than intended (I know that you could simply choose not to shoot them, but even with that in mind, its still possible to do it unintentionally from time to time).

>>2225793
I guess the concern about the Female Marine in terms of balance is Shotgun guy will have such a ridiculous burst damage output thanks to the SSG and potentially way more fighting potential with a smaller penalty to his defense.

Will she have different melee moves or will it be the standard ones like right now but boosted?
If it's like what it is right now then I probably would just jump kick all day with her.

It's probably all conceptual right now but I like talking about class balance

>>2225793
Fuck, it's the same link.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/p40aj6vklq76tt5/brutal20test-feb10-2015.zip
I deleted the original one to prevent further mistakes.


>>2225804
His dual SSG won't reload as fast as a regular one. The only real advantage that it will have is to blow two shots at once, since it will take almost as twice to reload.

The female marine will have a different set of attacks. She will be able to do a triple kick, and when selecting the fists, she will have a whole new set of combos and attacks, that includes stuff like a spinning kick.

>>2225808
Will Shotgun guy always have to reload both SSGs at once or can you like alternate it ala Style mod with the dual SSGs?

I feel four barrels at once is a pretty hefty advantage to carry around even if the reload takes longer.

I am interested in the female character for sure though, I always like melee playstyles.

I just hope it is viable.

>>2225808
>>2225815
Also I was wondering, since it is possible to throw zombies at other people to deal damage, would it be possible to have certain melee attacks on kill to launch enemies a bit to also deal damage?

Like jump kicking a zombie into a group of enemies and the like.

>>2225815
It will work like the current dual wielding system for the rifle and the plasma gun. Weapons are operated separately with the left and right mouse buttons.
His dual SSGs will be much more unpractical than it sounds. It will take some practice to get used to it.

>>2225819
It already does. But the damage is minimal.

>>2225785
I don't get it.

>>2225831
Not who you've been talking to but where does BD get it's explosion sprites from? Rocket ones specifically.

>>2225845
Quake 3.

>>2225831
I do not mind slow reloads, the concern is mostly that his firepower might be overshadowing the 10% extra damage he takes.

While someone who is at risk of damage much more often will be taking 20% more.

>>2225851
I see, so how do you make it so they make one explosion sound when close to the player, then when any distance beyond "close" it makes the Duke Nukem explosion sound?

I like that effect, was it hard to do?

>>2225852
Well, maybe I should reduce the damage taken by the female marine to 10% then.

>>2225869
It's easy. You just need to make the sounds play in different channels (close explosion in channel 1, and far on 3 for example) so they don't stop each other. Make the far explosion sound take 3 or 4 tics to play to emulate the traveling distance of the sound, then edit the SNDINFO lump to make the distant explosion to be able to be heard further. (3500 units is a good distance)

>>2225621
>>2224934
>>2224805
>>2224909

Not bad, not bad.

>>2225872
I think that's a good damage change for her.

I just think someone in melee all the time should have more of a focus.

Considering what I know of shotgun guy(Dual SSGs, Grenades) it sounds like he would fit more in a glass cannon role since his firepower is going to be considerably higher.

>>2225872
So I'm guessing this only works in ZDoom?

Say I want to edit the regular rocket shot by both the player and cyberdemon, do I create a new actor that replaces that rocket, then inside it's decorate I'm editing what you're describing?

By the way, where can I grab those rocket sprites? Don't really want to buy/install Quake 3 just for the rocket splash sprites.

>>2225872
Sorry Mark im and idiot is that build supposed to be run in z or gz?

>>2225875
>I just think someone in melee all the time should have more of a focus.
Somehow I forgot to finish the sentence.

Should have more of a focus on not dying so easily*

In BD everyone feels pretty fragile as is(Because enemies are tougher) so I think a 20% bonus enemy damage would be a real dealbreaker.

I will probably end up playing as her mostly if her in melee works out well.
I probably would pick her anyways just for the speed boost if it doesn't pan out

Is there a shadow warrior port that doesn't suck?

>>2225918

>>2225891

>>2225882
Yes for all questions.

>>2225932

well I don't know, why don't you ask him in the ZDF?

>>2224990
They probably did it like that to keep levels like Hectic as hidden as possible.

Also, /vr/ I have three mappacks; Going Down, HellBound, and the Back to Saturn X series, which one should I play first?

>>2225941
Cool, so last question, where can I get the sprites?

>>2225319
just wait to you get to episode 4

>>2225831
>>2225941
>It already does. But the damage is minimal.
Would it be possible to make her melee launching attacks to deal more damage?
It would really cement her dominance in melee range.

But then again this would probably go against what you have planned with her only dominating single enemies.

i hope you're not talking about the rifle that when zoomed in was so enormous it obscured half the view.

>>2226290
yeah...that one. what should it even matter if most of the screen is obscured? when you're aiming down sights, you should be looking at the front post.

hell, even if not that one, just anything is better than what is there now. I mean really:
>current rifle doesn't even have a rear sight
>shotgun's sight alignment means that the player is aiming the fucking gun above the point of aim

it's fucking disconcerting as hell...can't aim for shit with it such that one might as well just delete the zoom sprites altogether.

I feel raped.

>>2225732
hey mark, the purist marine still has recoil. that DEFINITELY needs to go

other than that it's bretty cool

honestly I like your weapons but the recoil and reloading are too inhibiting for me to get used to. if you could make them optional in the menu or release optional plugins at official launch that's be really nice too

>>2226312
i tend to ignore the weapon sprite and use the crosshair to aim. of course, ignoring the weapon sprite becomes impossible when it covers up most of the player view. needless to say, i found the huge sprite off-putting, and was glad to see it gone. it was as annoying to me as your issue is to you, although, your issue apparently being "weapon aim is not realistic"; a lack of realism being, may i say, a very strange complaint to have about Brutal Doom.

>>2226326
yeah i wouldn't touch a ribbiks map on anything above hntr

>>2226345
>playing the realism card

its not about realism, its about the sprite not visually aligning with the point of aim. a most definitely non-realistic example of this would be in the city of the damned: apocalypse, where the revolver is crooked relative to the line projected to the point of aim.

if we want to say that basic perspective is a realism issue that doesn't need to be addressed, might as well just throw out sprite design altogether and just use the pickup sprites as view model sprites because fuck all if anyone gives a damn about sprites giving visual cues as to where to aim.

did you find fault with the old shotgun sprite too? because if not, I think I have a solution for fixing the rifle such that it can please us both.

>>2226372
Dats sum racist shit mayne. Trayvon dint do nuffin.

>>2226372
you've captured the motion of "trying to run with trousers at half mast" beautifully!

>>2226390
fine, you're right i don't particularly care about perspective on weapon sprites when there's a crosshair to aim with. all i'm saying is i don't want to see that gargantuan tank-sized weapon sprite again. when someone (you) suggested it be brought back, i felt i had to speak out.

also i think that "if you don't care about perspective so much, then just use the pickup sprites as a view model" is an idiotic strawman and i think you should be ashamed of yourself for posting it.

Confession, this "classes" thing seems like the same thing as a supposed "stealth kill" system and the dual wielding, just another feature to have for the sake of having a feature.
It really feels like you're either throwing things at the board and hoping they stick, or that you have other mod ideas you want to do but have to keep coming back to Brutal.

Should I try this on another elevator?

>>2226609

I'm saying it's hard as a point of reference while testing this thing, you donut. Really as long as the shield is up any projectile in your vision is gonna get blocked. The shield wall's extremely generous.

>>2226610
>Should I try this on another elevator?
No it's fine.
See, the problem is: Projectiles that can be shot -> NOBLOCKMAP flag is not set -> blocks elevators.
If it works, it's aight.
Good work.

>>2226614

Good to know I didn't fuck this up. I still need to fiddle with the shield throw, make the POW effect, and git gud, and then the shield'll be finished. Hopefully.

Also you can technically throw an infinite amount of shields, I don't think I want to make a subweapon that can potentially save your ass be reliant on a return state, So I'm most likely going to leave the shield throw trick as is.

I think after this I'm going to add the new item crash resource, and then make POW status removable from certain damage types, and then finally release this fucking update.

Fuck this game is long. I'm really enjoying it though.

>>2226617
Does the shield break if it takes too much damage?

>>2226625

Blaz's shield? No. It's a very generous, safe subweapon. Though it's still not as batshit crazy protective as it is in the current version.

The Kuros inspired hero's shield however is going to be a passive item that raises when you stop attacking for a few moments, and that shit will break after enough punishment.

>>2226630
I do hope it does NOT protect from splash damage (unless theres no splash damage at all in GMOTA).
And did you check if it still protects the player if the player is straferunning towards the enemy? (it might happen the shield spawns, but does not move and thus you are actually the one infront of the shield instead of the small subshield actors).

>>2226635

Just doublechecked, the shield still blocks projectiles when straferunning.

It even still protects when you've sped up from a powerup like hexen's speed boots, which is fortunate because there'll be a speed up item in the future.

>>2226635
So you're hoping it wont protect from splash when you dont even know how the enemies will work?
Not wanting to block cybie rockets is one thing, but what if hell knight replacements get a tiny splashy fireball? That needs to be unblockable for what purpose exactly?

>>2224615

So wait. You knew about Samsara for years, why did you inquired about Duke's inconsistencies just now?

Hey, at least they didn't showcased a terrywad or anything.

>>2226667
>So wait. You knew about Samsara for years, why did you inquired about Duke's inconsistencies just now?
Because I haven't played DN3D in ages and started to play it again after I purchased a physical copy of DN64.

>So you and him have been talking for the past months?
Yes.

>Also what is this?
I encountered an multiplayer bug I've never seen before (a_chase online desync), asked ijon but he replied he doesnt know since he mostly codes ACS and weapons. iirc vince was a zandronum dev and tried to help me out, might be wrong.

Why do you care?

>>2226683
>>So you and him have been talking for the past months?
>Yes.

Glad to know. All I needed to hear.

I'm gonna leave you guys with one last question/opinion:

Currently the shield throw trick is a boomeranging thing. Should I stick with that? Or should I make it fall to the floor after a set time and vanish?

Or maybe you guys have a different idea of what should happen after the shield gets chucked, mind you this is for both the standard and POW'd up shield. I'm still certain I want the POW'd thrown shield to do a disc of repulsion burst when it hits something because that'll send shit scattering and that's funny.

I was just playing Doom II, on my old 486, and it reminded me of how I thought the hand holding the gun, which is the first thin you see when you start the game, looked like a small guy wearing a srange iron helmet and rugged clothes, no arms.

>>2226689
Make the regular throw ricochet once and break on the second impact, while the POW version can ricochet (on walls) several times but explodes on the first enemy hit.

>>2226691
>>2226683

And this just keeps getting even better.

So you've been working alongside Terminus with Samsara-related content for the past few months too?

Any word on the Berserk mod?

wat wad is dat?

>>2225446
Is this going to be a stealth mod? This looks extremely good.
I hope you can add stuff like footsteps that alert nearby enemies if you walk too fast.
And you should add equivalents of moss arrows, noise arrows, water arrows, a blackjack etc.

>>2226980

Not him but its something of his own; almost similar to perfect dark

>>2226720

Not really "alongside", more like "he comes at me with long rants about things, I tell him I'm not working on Samsara anymore, he pretends to be surprised despite having told him the last few times, he makes whatever he talked to me about shortly after."

MDC

>>2227003
If I recall correctly, I think spritenoob is using that Sneaky Doom as a basis for the stealth, which I think that has it where if you make too much noise moving around you'll alert some enemies.

>>2227095
>>2227095
>he pretends to be surprised despite having told him the last few times

so wait, if he keeps doing it, why are you withstanding his bullshit, again?

Well, and posting on the threads afterwards going "whaaaaaaat i thought terminus was a great coder of course he wouldn't leave samsara /me INNOCENT FACE", but I'm no janitor so that's out of my hands.

the choice is yours, though

#samsara is dead, and he doesn't come in #vr.
Neither are really related to the threads.

Not really, just answering questions about what happened.
And three times, to my knowledge.

>>2227131
Well at least the duke asparagus tinkering seems pretty good.
Thank you for putting up with him instead of creating even more drama and refusing his contributions, I guess.

>>2227152

Of course. Rejecting more content simply on the basis of personal like or dislike only hurts the community.
I figure more mods and more options going around means more things to play with--even if it's not something I'm working on. Plus, people tweaking the project to something they enjoy is pretty much the entire point of modding Doom in the first place.

>>2227152
>Well at least the duke asparagus tinkering seems pretty good.
can't tell if you're serious or not
he just made minor tweaks because "muh particles" and "muh explosion framerate"
everything he made so far completely sucked
stop encouraging shitposters like him to spew out more useless shit

>>2227154
you should have rejected him and told him to fuck off and die in a hole.
samsara does not need more mods, you remember what those addon guys did to ye?

“Hey,” Romero told Carmack one day at the office, “there’s something you have to see.” He booted up Doom –or at least what was supposed to be Doom– on his computer. Instead, the trumpeting theme of the Star Wars movie began to play. The screen filled with not Doom’s familiar opening chamber but instead a small, steel-colored room. Romero hit the space bar, and a door slid open. “Stop that ship!” a voice commanded from within the game. Carmack watched as Romero jolted down the hall past bleeping droids, white Stormtroopers, laser guns, the deep bellows of Darth Vader. Some hacker had completely altered Doom into a version of Star Wars. Wow, Carmack thought. This is gonna be great. We did the Right Thing after all.

The Right Thing was programming Doom in such a way that willful players could more easily create something like this: StarDoom, a modification, or mod, of their original game. It was an idea hatched after seeing the early modifications that players were creating for Wolfenstein 3-D. That small phenomenon had caught Carmack by surprise, even though he had long hacked games like Ultima himself. The Wolfenstein modifications were different, however, because players weren’t just finding the code that they could change to increase their characters’ health; instead, they were changing their characters altogether, replacing the bosses with Barney.

Though Carmack and Romero were intrigued and inspired by these actions, they were concerned over the destructive quality of the mods. Players had to erase the original Wolfenstein code and replace it with their own images; once a Nazi was changed into Barney, there was no way to bring the Nazi back quickly. For Doom, Carmack organized the data so players could replace sound and graphics in a nondestructive manner. He created a subsystem that separated the media data, called WADs (an acronym, suggested by Tom Hall, it stood for Where’s All the Data?), from the main program. Every time someone booted up the game, the program would look for the WAD file of sounds and images to load in. This way, someone could simply point the main program to a different WAD without damaging the original contents. Carmack would also upload the source code for the Doom level-editing and utilities program so that the hackers could have the proper tools with which to create new stuff for the game.

This was a radical idea not only for games but for any media. It was as if a Nirvana CD came with tools to let listeners dub their own voices for Kurt Cobain’s or a Rocky video let viewers excise every cranny of Philadelphia for ancient Rome. Though there had been some level-editing programs released in the past, no programmer–let alone owner–of a company had released the guts of what made his proprietary program tick. Gamers would not have access to Carmacks graphical engine, but the stuff he was making available was more than just subtly giving them the keys. It was not only a gracious move but an ideological one–a leftist gesture that empowered the people and, in turn, loosened the grip of corporations. Carmack was no longer a boy dreaming of computers in his Kansas City bedroom; he was the twenty-three-year old owner of a multimillion-dollar company, and he could do whatever the fuck he wanted. He could live the Hacker Ethic big time.

It wasn’t a popular way to rule. With the exception of Romero, the only other hacker-minded programmer at id, Carmack’s generosity caused much consternation at the company–especially among the more conservative minded businessmen, like Jay and Kevin. “This is a crazy idea,” Kevin said. “No one’s ever given away their tools to make new content. And we have to worry about legal questions. What if someone takes our content and combines it with their product and releases it? What if someone takes all the content that’s developed on the Internet and sells it on the shelf and suddenly we’re competing with our own product?”

Carmack rolled his eyes. They didn’t get this at all, he thought, because they weren’t programmers so they didn’t get the hacker joy of it. They weren’t really gamers either. They weren’t part of the gaming community that was growing up there. To Carmack’s appreciation, Romero came loudly to his defense. “Dudes,” Romero told the others, “we’re not going to lose that much money. We’re making a ton of money right now. Big deal. Who cares?”

I've left the code up on github for anyone to fork and modify as they see fit.

For whoever picks it up, all I've requested is that it gets tweaked into an add-on or a rename so people don't come to me with whatever changes someone else did.

>tfw this is a dying philosophy
Feels terrible man. I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s that so many games were open source with tools. Fricken No One Lives Forever had a great set of tools and had its source code released really fast. Everyone knew it was smart because valve had such success with it. I really don't get why this concept has gone away. I guess to make way for DLC...
