I'm having trouble reading between the lines on this. Did Scroton decide to quit? Did MartyKirra kick him out? Who broke up with who?

>>2277676

I, for one, am looking forward to something done in simple code.

it seems marty feels bad for making scroton do all the work, and wants to do the work himself.

About how strong is special?
As cool as it looks it might end up getting outshined by the standard forward sword special entirely.

So my guess the appeal of this shot is the range.

>HOLY JESUS FUCK

>>2277614
http://strawpoll.me/3818880

>>2277810

In terms of raw damage, to be blunt, it's utterly outshined by every other special. The build I'm sitting on is 800, which is just enough to one-shot a Vile.
The appeal is very much the range, hitting nasty bastards at a safe distance to clear up a scene before waing in.

More up-close players will likely ignore it completely.

>>2277843
Can it one shot the Blackened ?

If it can then it will hold a place in my heart.
If not then I probably won't touch it outside of seeing the pretty awesome animation.

>>2277849

Yes. Yes, it can.

>>2277857
It should be pretty handy then.

Actually 800 damage with infinite range is pretty respectable.
Really the only thing that could hold it back would be the long startup for the shot.

>>2277835
Kama Sutra is fun as heck throughout.

Only about half of HR2's levels are actually good, though.

>>2277894
While there are a few good tunes, I dislike the direction they went with the music in HR2. It sounds too agressive and serious compared to the more fun sounding tunes of ROTT.

Confession: I don't really like slaughtermaps very much. I never quite saw the appeal of Alien Vendetta or Hell Revealed

>>2277962
The challenge.

Slaughtermaps don't really do challenge very well for the most part.

>>2277973
Most of them are a chore to me.

E4 or Plutonia is more my speed in terms of challenge. Maybe with a tad bit more health and ammo for E4.

>>2277978
That's how I feel too.

Although a lot of weak enemies can be fun to take on at once, slaughtermaps tend to put just massive walls of HP at the player.

Not very fun.
Revenant hordes get pretty old too.

Maybe I just don't know good slaughtermaps but generally it feels like a slog to me.

>>2277981
>Although a lot of weak enemies can be fun to take on at once, slaughtermaps tend to put just massive walls of HP at the player.
maybe it would be better if every monster was a glass cannon that did 4x damage but had 1/4 health? (numbers arbitrary, would need balance testing, this is just off the top of my head)

>>2277962
I honestly think Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta shouldn't be THAT hard to get into. Its a big step up in challenge compared to even Plutonia, but you learn to get used to it.

I'm not too big on Sunder type maps, though. Can get a bit too extreme, combined with some maps taking even hours.

>>2277986
I don't really feel this addresses the problem directly.

Doom's enemies are best when set up cleverly or in well done ambushes.

The monster placement and encounters are pretty important.
Slaughtermaps do pay attention to this but with the scale it kind of just ruins the pacing.

By increasing their damage and cutting their HP it just means less mistakes allowed for the player but the encounters are still pretty much the same.
It doesn't help that Doom's monsters are relatively slow and whatnot.
Doesn't quite have the dynamics of Serious Sam.

>>2277981
>Maybe I just don't know good slaughtermaps but generally it feels like a slog to me.

If you can't even enjoy HR and AV, then its likely not that you can't find any good ones, but rather, its simply not your cup of tea.

>>2278005
I actually do enjoy those levelsets.
I'm not the guy that hates HR and AV.

But when there's so many enemies in some maps I tend to feel like it drags on too long and have to give it a break.

Like those levels in AV with like 800+ monsters.

Something like say.. Sunder though?
Can't do it vanilla, too tedious.
Can't do it with something like Russian Overkill either. Those weapons are just way too strong.

I can play it with Demonsteele though, but only once in a long while.

>>2278008
>But when there's so many enemies in some maps I tend to feel like it drags on too long and have to give it a break.
>Like those levels in AV with like 800+ monsters.
The starting arena in Demonic Hordes was a bit bleh. But I didnt mind anything else

>Something like say.. Sunder though?
>Can't do it vanilla, too tedious.

Agreed here. I can't fathom how anyone can even have the patience to play the final four levels.

>>2278018
Actually, the AV map that was cut out "Valley of Echoes" certainly went overboard with the Cyberdemons by the valley itself.

>>2278018
The second half of Sunder overall is a boring slog.

First half isnt too bad. Newgothic is better.

>stuck on Hell's Apprentice for god knows how long

Fucking Hell.

Does DoomRPG and RLArsenal work with Heretic/Hexen? If not are there versions for them?

>>2278062
>newgothic

Its crazy that the map11 midi is nearly 50 minutes long, and is 867.23kb

Well now. I might be onto something here.

Is there a way to add a glow to the lights in GZDoom? I'm not talking about full-on bloom, just a subtle glow texture or something that would compliment the dynamic lights.

>>2278102
Even thought that kill counter barely changed, it looks pretty fuckin' nifty for clearing pathways to run away.

>>2278109

That's the idea, the warding cyclone is shitty for offense but top tier at defense

I feel kinda shitty because the new item crashes are awful similar to eachother now

Lance: straight flying ripper that shits out lightning, big strike if it hits a boss

Shield: straight flying ripper that pushes everything away constantly, shoves bosses

Torch: feet-seeking flames that track enemies, spit fire everywhere before exploding

Axe: Giant axe that shoots axes everywhere before exploding into more axes

Daggers: DAGGERS

But hey, if they're powerful and fun to use, I guess that's what's important

>>2278093

For like 15 years I thought the doomguy's hand was just wrinkly as fuck instead of wearing gloves.

>>2278293
D-Touch.

You have to pay for it, but it's worth it because it is the best.

>>2278293
Honestly, download a homebrew port for a special DS or 3DS cart.

The GBA ports, while still fun (as they're still actually Doom), are heavily crippled, Doom 1 is crippled in that maps are cut/altered, the boss monsters are completely cut except for the Baron (E3M8 DIS is replaced by E2M9 Warrens, you fight a bunch of Barons and Cacos at the end instead of the Spider Mastermind).

Color isn't perfect, for one gamma is quaint, and you'll in fact want to turn off shading/darkness if you want the game to not run like a slideshow. All the blood is censored, either by removal or by turning it green (blame the Germans for this one).

Now, the Doom 2 port on the GBA is by far superior, it has every single monster and level in there, just about every level is intact (except for some trimming here and there), aside from two, which are there still there, but each of them are split up into two parts due to limitations on size.

The shit parts of the Doom 2 port are that color seems washed out somewhat, and the AI just doesn't give a fuck, if you're far enough away from an enemy, they simply will not pay attention to you even one bit. Blood is still censored, and the Wolfenstein levels have all the Swastikas and nazi imagery removed and replaced.

There can be an Arch Vile across the field/yard whatever, and you can plink away at him with your gun and he won't give a fuck until you get close enough to him, even if you wake him up, if you get far enough away, he'll stop chasing you and just stand there. I believe this is also because of memory limitation.

The good parts of both:
You have Doom on the go, even if shoddy, still Doom, you can have fun with it, just not as much fun. As a kid, I got through many boring family gettogethers with these.
The music actually sounds pretty cool.

>>2278313
press f1

>>2278293
Mobile. D-Touch has three source ports in one, including Chocolate and GZDoom.

None of the handheld cart ports were really worth it when you can grab a homebrew, honestly.

ZDoom question:

Does anybody know why in Z/GZDoom bouncing projectiles stop bouncing after hitting the ceiling, as if their bounce counter skips right to maximum?
Is there any way to prevent that?

The standard bounce type bounces until it loses enough momentum. Hitting the ceiling inverts the momentum, therefore it dies.

Use a different bouncetype, simple.

>>2278476
Isn't this a little overpowered?

So he added damage types to Trailblazer to work with Brutal Doom monsters?

Hopefully he asked for permission first I guess?
I don't really see the big deal unless he was told not to do this.
I don't really find it surprising that this was done either.

>>2278558
That's basically a TrailBlazer with BD's AltDeaths some graphic effects and not much else, which is a win in my book.

What's the best soundfont to go with FluidSynth?
and how to insert it into D-Touch

>>2278535
You would have to learn Decorate.
Create a new actor that's derived from the original (eg. NewRedTorch), then set that up to replace the original. Then create another "glow" actor that renders in additive mode, and then set the previous actor (NewRedTorch) to spawn said glow actor on the first frame, so the glow sits in place overtop the torch.
I could explain this a bit more in-depth, but I'd practically be coding it myself.

>This kills the RAM.jpg

>>2278626
If that kills your ram then maybe you need to upgrade.

>>2278623
Personally, I wish enemies changed more as you leveled up, instead of just getting marginally stronger or sometimes spawning with special abilities.

>>2278626
>>2278616

It is not bad, plus the stage is not that insidious.
Harder than Afterlife 2, but easier than Whispering Winds.
It's bit difficult since the BFG has been replaced with this cannon with massive knockback, the minigun isn't just as overtly powerful ( although takes less ammo ).

I am struggling with the wave where there where it respawns some archviles. Maybe I should have dealt with those cyberdemons earlier...

>>2278476

>>2278623
>>2278673
I've actually been working on a compat thing in DRLA+DRPG that causes monsters to become more horrible. Monsters will act differently if they have a shadow aura, and bosses will have different attacks, abilities and behaviours based on every single aura they have.

And the chance of enemies having auras increases based on several of their stats too (or just energy, can't quite remember.), so this will become more apparent the higher level the enemies get.

Shadow aura bosses? u r ded

It's not loading for me either, fuck

I can't really say I'm worried unless shadow aura bosses somehow pop up at the very beginning.

My problem is the player grows exponentially rather than gradually.

Sweet jesus I am almost done with my very first doom map.

I quit on it for a bit more than half a year, I have probably already spent at least 15-20+ hours on it because it took me to learn a bunch of shit from the ground up and I kept on falling into holes where I had to redo over some things.

I promised to make it at least a decent map for my first time, I concentrated REALLY hard on making it feel "old-school" where it's non-linear and closed in like 90s doom maps.

I just have to finish one section, and then properly texture a couple of places, and then make sure shading looks nice and spooky in some areas.

It was a mistake to use GZDoom builder because I didn't utilize any GZDoom features. I just hope it works on Zdoom as well.

>>2278729
>I concentrated REALLY hard on making it feel "old-school"
cool
hoping it works in pr+

>>2278720
Yeah, I know what you mean. No idea how to deal with that, balance is hard with two super complex mods intertwined with each other.

Still, at least mid to late game wise, these things should have the capacity to melt you.
Here, I'll give you a preview of the sort of thing you can expect.


A Spider Mastermind with a crapton of stats that fires 4 shots a tic, never leaves overwatch when it spots you, occaisonally shifts from side to side while firing, constantly regens huge amounts of health, can emit massive EMPs that will cripple high-tech armor and gives you EMP V, creates a shield in front of itself that it can shoot through but can't be shot through by you, and spawns Arachnotrons every now and then.

Of course, this stacks with the usual aura stuff, like stealing your ammo, credits, leveling up monsters, regening nearby monsters health, reviving monsters, cursing you and teleporting to you, etc.

So yeah.

Yeah, it is a bit of an issue that I'm really not sure what to do about. I'd like to think I've done decently enough considering the limitations I've had to work with, and believe me, I've bashed my head into a wall for hours trying to make some of the mechanics work properly or decently with each other.

Fun mod, fun mapset. Is Trailblazer still being worked on, I recall it being WIP. In final version they promised shops, more guns ( I am really hoping for some other bfg-replacement, it just functions so differently that it makes some maps harder ).

The funny thing is I didn't even really touch what's broken in RLA, only RPG and was mostly just talking about how fast the player grows.

But for the example boss you've given please two do things to make them dangerous.

>Always has the capacity to hit you with EMP V
>Has the ability to turn off the player's auras.

Augments and Auras are like the absolute definitive gamebreakers. Like just thinking off the top of my head you can get two sets of 4x damage and stack them for 16x damage.

Also the low cost EP refills at the base makes aurastacking too easy and you can just pile on the timer for very little investment.
Not to mention that aura that cuts EP cost is just like wildly abusable as well.

I think these are the biggest offenders in DoomRPG balance.
Doom RLA is pretty broken too but it's mostly a few weapons in particular rather than the system itself.

Despite the imbalances I have a lot of fun with it, I just don't turn on the augments that dramatically overpower the player

>>2278756
It is not being worked on until Doomnukem gets out of his slump.

>>2278772
>Augments and Auras are like the absolute definitive gamebreakers. Like just thinking off the top of my head you can get two sets of 4x damage and stack them for 16x damage.

This was rewritten yesterday. They will now only both stack up to a maximum of 8x damage. Yholl has also given me an idea on how to make the auras much less abusable which I will implement when I'm not practically a zombie in the sleep department. The other thing is that when you have all augmentations active and maxed out, that can seriously chew through your battery, so trying to keep them active for a long time shouldn't exactly be easy. Unless you are implying I make them drain even faster?

>Also the low cost EP refills at the base makes aurastacking too easy and you can just pile on the timer for very little investment.

Even considering the fact that activating an aura adds +10% cost to all subsequent costs in stacking?

I definitely agree there are some balance issues in DRPG, and it's certainly no easy feat to try and keep everything balanced with the myriad of mechanics that exist now in the mod, but that's also the reason why I make so many options and internally used values available to the player in the options menu so they can customize their own experience if they think things are too easy or too hard.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for constructive criticism, but I would find it helpful if I could get some input or suggestions on how to fix the balance issues. I'm always open to suggestions on how to make things better.

Been doing some stuff with Trailblazer lately. The starting pistol in particular, since it feels rather underwhelming compared to all the other guns and needed a bit of lemon zest.

A little bit of both.

>>2278808
Maybe, possibly, probably not. If I were to really invest into Trailblazer I'd want to do it along with PillowBlaster himself, but he's indisposed for the time being and I don't really want to bug him.

>new mapping anons releasing their maps
>last map I released was over a year ago

It's been a hot minute since I've put any work out, but it's been for a good reason. I've been working on my first 5 level wad this whole time entitled "Tabula Rasa." It's a completely fresh wad with above average difficulty in vanilla Doom format so it should be compatible with everything. It's built for continuous play but each level can be pistol started for a more tight ammo experience. Also, I tried to give the chaingun a lot of love but it isn't required.

I've been working on this a long time so I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll be dropping it in the next thread.

>>2278801
>They will now only both stack up to a maximum of 8x damage
So with max strength it is still going to be 16x damage.
It's pretty hefty.
To be honest I'd make it 2x at most, no joke

>The other thing is that when you have all augmentations active and maxed out, that can seriously chew through your battery, so trying to keep them active for a long time shouldn't exactly be easy.
Last I checked there was an augment that cut Augment battery drain by 50% AND it boosts max battery too.
Now it doesn't seem like this is much but if you play as a Luck character and there's no reason not to you can get that and the augment for luck AND an aura for drop rates you will be swimming in overpoweredness with just a couple of levels.

>Unless you are implying I make them drain even faster?
There should be nothing for capacity really.
Portable batteries should also not be stackable or at least have the player only hold 2-3 at the most. It should be a short boost to the Auras, not an absolute massive stackable thing. The max Augs on at a time should also be limited. Like instead of able to use all at once eventually? Maximum of 2 or 3

>Even considering the fact that activating an aura adds +10% cost to all subsequent costs in stacking?
Full EP restores is quite a bit and allows a few minutes even without any EP upgrades.
It doesn't help that there's the Aura that cuts EP costs. And an Augment that cuts aura costs.
And they stack.

Fucking UNF.

>That song instruments
What soundfont is that?

>>2278832
Now to explain a few things in the post.

>Playing as a Luck character
Free stat/skill boosts, items and shields. Also a lot of money. You make a large return on your investment by going with luck.
>Augmenting luck and aura for increased drop rates
It piles on quite a lot. It eventually reaches a point where the game freezes for a moment because of how much stuff you can pick up after doing that Magnet(?) skill.
Depending on how many enemies on a level you can get up to 100+ stat boosts.

> The max Augs on at a time should also be limited.
When you roll with all the augments at once you get: 4x damage, 50% damage dealt to you, -50% EP costs, 4x drop rate, Augments cost 50% to run, double capacity on Augments, speed boost and a large chance to not die on hit, regens.

Auras? Basically the same thing without augment modifiers.
But you get infinite ammo and immunity to status effects.

There needs to be some limits or diminishing gains on these things. It also shouldn't last longer than like 5 minutes for auras.
Auras should not also allow you to stack all at once.
The +10% EP cost per stack is really nothing in the short term because there's a EP recharge station.
Either the cost should be more to use the station(A large percentage of credits on you) or you should make the rate of cost go up dramatically.

Also like.. Seriously remove the Aura that cuts EP costs and the Augment that cuts EP and Augment cost. They exist to make these things last forever.

If they have to exist, make it on monsters only and have it on a seperate timer from the Auras the player can use. Give monsters unique effects with these auras and make those a reward for finding and stealing from rare monsters.

A lot of Doom RPG stuff is just nuts and the numbers are massive. That's why I feel the player grows exponentially.

>>2278832
>>2278861

I know you're concerned for balance... but it just sounds like you really hate fun.

>>2278875
I don't hate fun though. I love fun.
Fun is great.

What I do hate is being so ridiculously overpowered that enemies just die by the droves and were completely unable to do anything even if you decided to just sit there and let them hit you. I do not feel this is fun

There's not really any sort of builds to go with in DoomRPG as well so it doesn't leave a lot to experimentation.
You don't really have to pick and choose what your character turns out to be either. It only starts off that way for a little while but then once you get a few things you ramp up dramatically and leave everything in the dust.

And with just about everything basically dying to a single bullet this makes fights not really engaging on any scale.
It goes from Doom with stats to putting EWEPs to shame very quickly.

And then you get really invincible and there's no reason to let go of the button as you just run in without a thought and kill everything before they get a chance to do anything.

I do not find this to be fun.
I think at least putting a limit on how ridiculous the player would only help the mod.

Unless you really like just being that overpowered I guess.

>>2278836
The gun is actually some generic Counter Strikey sound with a bit of Robocop's Auto-9 wizarded in there. As for the sound font, it's SGM played with Timidity. Here some BtSX music with it:

>>2278623
>>2278708
My idea with brutal-esque AI changes for higher level enemies was poohpoohed hard, but really, wouldn't that be pretty much what you're after?

Hell, even start with enemies artificially dumbed down more than default, scale to normal, scale to advanced, then boss, and then have a rare nightmare tier of boss+aura behaviors (like zombiemen flanking, moving under cover, imps pouncing, archviles playing line of sight to fuck with you and rez shit infinitely, cyberdemons leading you with rockets, etc).

>>2278519
I agree fully, I'd be willing to put my limited talents and some cash into it, I have no illusions of it being profitable, but it could be fucking amazing if done correctly.

>>2278891
Yeah and I get that, but as someone who generally plays DoorRPG+RLA with enemy stats and auras turned up, it sounds like you do hate fun.

Playing through the harder map-packs, the difficulty level can ramp up quickly, almost making the things you deem as 'Too OP' to be damn near mandatory (especially when you reach map 10 and on when enemies are quite capable of one-shooting the player, even with Good armor and shields).

>>2278927
I tend to play with enemy stats and auras boosted as well because of it but I never really find myself getting one shotted.
Most of the time I tend to melt the enemies when I get built up well enough.

How far up do you boost the enemies?

>>2278805
Can you imagine if shit like this was in the original release of Doom. I mean, Doom was already miles ahead of Wolf 3D, but then even these single weapon mods 20 years later are just fucking crazy.

so i made a little edit to shut up and bleed plus to make it more survival horror-y

-darkdoom lite is integrated
-recoil isn't just visual anymore
-renamed mine gun to grenade gun considering it doesnt even shoot mines, just sticky grenades
-decreased crossbow spread a little so it isnt only useful as a second-rate spas
-extra hard difficulty that might be impossible idk

p trivial changes i know but if someone else besides me wants it here you go https://www.mediafire.com/?y77vri3niywx8ia

>>2278313

What're you curious about? because the F1 is a little outdated

Also the powered cannon's primary fire heals you on hit.

>>2278313
Subweapons are alt fire.
The ones that come from big gold boxes are for the cannon.
The ones that come from chests are for the sword/fists.

Each subweapon has different uses:
>Lance = Range
>Dagger = Rapid fire + Battery for sword meter
>Axe = Bouncy shots + Damage
>Torch = Area control
>Shield = Blocky

For the cannon it's
>Scattershot: Single target ANNIHILATION(Also kind of good on crowds but eh)
>Missile: Cluster bombing for groups of enemies but not so good on single target
>Earthshaker(Ball): AOE domination

Get two of the same subweapons and you get a powered version.

For some reason, all I hear is a loud ringing when I play map11 on prboom+. Any idea why that is?

Thanks a ton.

so what happens in strife if you beat the guards that the corrupt guy sends after you if you do the quest to steal the goblet? after that fuck in the tavern betrayed me and fucked up that quest, I started over and just slayed the fucker rather than getting it again.

also does anyone know of any other good Doom engine sudo RPGs?

>>2279420
Hexen: Serpent resurrection.

>>2279420
If you steal the goblet like an idiot, the game goes into permanent alert for the town and you have to start the game over or die. Instead you should kill the guy like you did, but make sure the door is closed and you aren't loud about it.

Strife is filled with dick decisions and so many ways and bugs to mess the entire thing up.

I'm not new to Doom, but I'm new to this entire community here.
I've only got ZDaemon for online Doom playing, which was years ago, and I haven't tipped a toe in the waters of WADs and other stuff. All of this seems like really cool shit.
Where do I start?

>>2279420
just dont take the goblet

>>2279442

Soooooo this has probably been posted somewhere in the thread, but I'm too retarded to find it, where can I download TSP mk1?

Just redid my OS, and didn't back up my doom folder

Sprites of the day. Figured it was about time to get back to work.

and here's a mug to go with it. I really need some sort of code to allow me to have different mugs for different costumes, plus some extra scenario mugs like putting on night vision goggles. My coding skill is improved, but still bare basic hello world stuff.

>>2279507

If you plan on having the costumes as different skins, then you need to define the mugshot in skininfo.
If you plan on having the costumes at different points in the plot, then it's just going to be a simple SBARINFO check for an inventory item that changes to a different mugshot.
Likewise, you can always display separate images with a check for powerups, since powerups give the player inventory items which can easily be checked for.

Good to see you back, was a big fan of your work.

>>2279498
She's a small girl.

>>2279498
Maybe morphing (unless its Zandronum, it does not support holding multiple weapons if morphed).
AFAIK morph classes support custom mugshot frames.

>>2279513
I'm probably doing a mix of both. I wanted to have it so if you use items like cigarettes, her mug changes to a set with a smoke in her mouth. I also have a sunglasses-wearing variant I wanted to use for daytime levels. Little details like this just put a smile on my face.
>>2279524
She's actually a bit taller than Doomguy's sprite. Keep in mind Doom stretches sprites a bit too.
>>2279531
Since it's singleplayer, I'm not bothering with Z&, so this will be useful info.

>>2279537
>>2279531
Ah forgot to add:
SKININFO and DrawMugshot SBARINFO function might be useful too.

>>2279584

Depends on what version you're playing, if you're playing the test versions with the new sword sprites, power the sword up with reload then hit zoom.

if it's the old version with the old quietus sprites, press and hold primary fire til Blaz's hand is cocked all the way back. Sorry for making shit all obtuse.

>>2279452
>no Brutal Doom
Oh-kay, I get it. You don't wanna spark up any fan-boyism or hate BD altogether.
>no Action Doom or good total conversions section
I'm not okay with it.

>>2279907

I think action doom would have been more enjoyable with a healthpoint system like Demonsteele and a faster shooting pistol.

I'm looking for a very old fps game where you have to drive a tank-like battle car, i'm not sure, but I think you are able to get off and get in the car whenever you wanted. I don't remember much else about it, except it has your typical early 90's graphics and it's mission-oriented.

>>2279908
I think both Action Dooms would've also been better without edgy story

>>2279909
Necrodome? I remember reading something about runners outside of their vehicles or whatever.

>>2279912

Holy shit I had forgotten about the story.

Still, Action Doom should definitely be on the list for historical purposes, if memory serves right Action Doom was VERY impressive for its time, and it helped breathe new life into the community.

>>2279851
the placement of the inventory icons is a little unfortunate. do i have the hammer or the shining knight item selected? nobody knows!

also i think you have managed to get some kind of memory leak, as zdoom starts swapping/freezing after playing for a while. perhaps some commonly-spawned actor is not expiring quickly enough.

>>2279913
Exactly that's the game I'm looking for. Thank you.

>>2279912
They are supposed to be 3rd grade action movies with a cheesy story. I see nothing wrong with it.

AD1 was a well fit story and had lots of contribution to the community.
AD2 and DoW expansion are both great. Just story was a bit "tame" considering the main character supposed to be a copy of Marv from Sin City.

Playing new version of GMOTA, my thoughts so far:
- Autodart is much better compared to previous version.
- No way to increase arcane bar with the shield? It kinda sucks. Is it possible to convert blocked projectiles into arcane power?
- I still have no idea why POW weapons de-POW themselves. POW has timer, or you lose it if you take too much damage?

>>2279917

Once again my shitty HUD making skills prove to be an issue. The Crash hammer will be stepping into the subweapon slot for v0.9.9 though, and the invbar will be gone entirely

as for the memory leak. That's pretty fucking worrying. I'm not sure what could be causing it though

>>2279929

Getting hit by melee attacks will rob you of your POW status, going to new stages will do that too

>>2279929

oh and the idea of blocking attacks = mana is a pretty good idea. I can do that pretty easily.

>>2279926
I think AD2 story actually takes itself way too seriously, which clashes with its bright, flashy artstyle. It is supposed to be a homage to classic beat-em-ups, with the plots like "someone stole your girlfriend, go beat up on every criminal in the city", and in AD2 we have dark story about serial murderers and brooding shell-shocked alcoholic Max-Payne wannabe as a protagonist. DoW expansion was much better in that regard.

>>2279932
>as for the memory leak. That's pretty fucking worrying. I'm not sure what could be causing it though
well, in fairness not many users will suffer from it, as not many users have 10 year old machines with 512MB ram. so don't worry too much.

thanks for the reply.

Anyone knows how the guy called TheTruth destroys OB with one orca in AOW2? Shit is impossible.

Another thing that is impossible is the number of bugs, that can be found in Demy's version.

>>2279946

I'm still gonna worry about it, the worst feeling ever is potentially blocking someone out from playing something due to adding more shit. Can your machine handle demonsteele?

>>2279946

You are a pure fucking cancer and I hope you will kill yourself soon.

People like you are the reason why indie apps looking like game from 1999 require newest CPU and still work like fucking crap.

>I honestly think Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta shouldn't be THAT hard to get into. Its a big step up in challenge compared to even Plutonia, but you learn to get used to it.

Yeah. HR and AV are pretty tame. Even HR2, which used to be considered the Hardest Megawad back in its day, is mostly tame compared to some of the more insane stuff we've seen since Sunder and Newgothic.

>>2279952
it's difficult to know how to respond. i don't purchase "indie apps looking like game from 1999". even if i did, they wouldn't run - as i said earlier, i have a 10 year old computer with 512MB ram.

however i suspect most zdoom users have far better machines, and i don't want gmota guy wasting his limited unpaid volunteer time worrying about an issue i (and apparently, no one else) had and that he would have difficulty reproducing himself (as i recall, he built a new system last year so mostly likely has masses of ram).

ideally he should be spending his limited unpaid volunteer time on issues that affect users who are likely to spend the most time in his mod, not some driveby tester. (i don't have much interest in gameplay mods, no point him spending more time worrying about my issue than i will spend playing mods!)

finally, i think you have a right to dissatisfaction at indie developers' poor products. but there is an essential difference - they're asking for money.

>>2279912
Objectively wrong, the narrative was fun in AD2.
No one had really done anything like that before for Doom.

Come to think of it, has anyone done anything like that since?

>>2280025

I wouldn't call it unpaid volunteer time, I make GMOTA out of a labor of love, this is the most fun I've had in years, I appreciate you testing my mod though.

I've been meaning to put out v6 for a while, but there's a few categories I'm quite stumped on how to fill out.
And there really hasn't been many notable /vr/-originated mods coming out as of late.

>>2279915

I don't really think "was good" is viable for historical purposes. Did it kickstart something in the community? Was it the first X? Did it accomplish the first X? Did it start doing something that hadn't been done before?

A_BossDeath still needs to be added to Arachnotrons.

Come on, did you even play through a full mapset with this?

>>2281227

I do. I just had no idea about that, I'm still green to doom modding bro.

>>2281172
They're still rare enough that the demo recording community doesn't advise using them.

>>2281235
>doesn't advise using them

For recording and playingback Demo's I mean.

Most levels should be fine, but TNT map10 and 31 would likely cause some issues. 10 has different nodes and reject, making desyncs an inherent problem, and 31 is based off the TNT31.WAD fix, meaning it'll desync on non-max runs, due to different nodes to the original broken version.

Fuck these guys

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8380892/GMOTA%20Releases/GMOTA_V0.9.8_Hotfix2.pk3

Grab it again, mage gunners should have a proper a_bossdeath now

>>2281256
God dang GMOTA Guy I have like 20-30 versions of your mod in my folder.

I really like GMOTA

>>2281261

Sorry, this is one fix that can't wait til v0.9.9, breaking maps is a bad thing, and I felt like this was a pretty urgent fix

>>2281058
Activating shinning knight with fists = free sword reload.
It should either not work or cost more to use the shinning knight in that case.

Also pic related. You can drop your sword/hands and shine away. Not that it provides any kind of benefit, but its funny.

>>2281015
Neat thanks! Can't get it working, but I guess this version is non-functional right now.

>>2281268
>Free sword reload
It takes half of your meter anon.

>>2281262
>>2281256
inb4 B build

>>2281271
And reload is what, 40%? Having both for 50% is a big deal.
Every time you plan on using shinning knight you can first throw your sword around since the hefty reload cost will be gone.

>>2281273
You can get your meter back pretty quickly before the sword disappears regardless of subweapon and going into Shining Knight makes the Boomerang sword disappear immediately.

It doesn't really seem like that much of an issue.
Apparently this is also intentional so not much else I can say about it other than I don't see a problem

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8380892/GMOTA%20Releases/GMOTA_V0.9.8_Hotfix3.pk3

OKAY. LAST HOTFIX I SWEAR.

This one makes sure Mage Gunners don't make arachnotron sounds, and you can't drop your sword and gauntlet anymore

If anything else pops up I'm going to be upset

>>2281289
When are you going to make hell noble replacers?
Do you want ideas?

>>2281289
Oh boy new GMOTA version!
>Load it up to test run all the new item crashes
>Literally all I get is daggers and golden boners out of 15+ chests
Th-thanks.

I got items after spawning chests but damn do I have some bad luck

>>2281293

Next version is gonna have nobles, I got ideas

Barons will become lanky knight assholes, specifically pic related, I'm going to give them a constant stalfos chuckle, higher movement speed, and the ability to throw subweapons at you. I kinda wish these guys were full on skeletons though

Knights will become Bomber dudes, and on death they'll drop a few explosives as a parting "Fuck you"

>>2281308
Are they going to fight like Stalfos with the constant circling around too?


Also holy shit Rocket Thunder Lances are my favorite weapon

>>2281315

Oh man that'd be so fucking agitating. I love it, I'll look into that for sure. They won't block though because blocking enemies are way too annoying and flow breaking.

Speaking of, are you planning to replace Arch-Viles as well? I do hope their replacement will keep their LoS flame, because I really hate it, which means it is good

>>2281325

Absolutely, all monsters will be replaced when I'm done, Archviles will be swapped out this guy, dubbed the BONE LORD, he'll fire all kinds of nasty shit from his arm cannon and won't hesitate to smash your face in with it too. He'll also have a hookshot to be extra annoying.

and yes, I'm gonna give him an arcvhile style attack, but rather than just an explosion, the dangerous thing comes from the three spheres that fly out of you afterwards, which will revive nearby enemies

I want to give him Shao-Kahn one liners

>>2281318
There is blocking and there is trying to club Centaurs with puny maces.
It doesnt have to be invulnerable for long ass periods, or at all.
You can make the block a somewhat rare charging state with damage reduction of say, 50%.
If you atk while that enemy is blocking, its less effective. If you dont atk, he fires an item crash once the shield is down.

>>2281331
>You can make the block a somewhat rare charging state with damage reduction of say, 50%.
>If you atk while that enemy is blocking, its less effective. If you dont atk, he fires an item crash once the shield is down.

I could roll with that, I'll definitely right that idea down

>>2281329
can we call him the boner lord

>>2281334

>right

I mean write, I'm dumb as hell this evening

>>2281289
that bouncy axe secondary sword attack seems a bit nuts

spam it and there's basically an aura of death around you with minimal aiming

>>2281335
>Not Count Boner

>>2281339

Yeah, I'll probably lower how many axes it shits out, or make it expire faster.

>>2281345
Expiring faster is good.

I just tested how long it can last and this one has been bouncing around for 5 minutes

What determines how fast it goes away anyways?

>>2281349

...bouncecount. I should probably add a countdown timer to that

>>2281357
That explains everything.

The ones that lasted forever was bouncing in a wide open space.
First one was HR2's Map 29, just watching them bounce high and spewing axes everywhere.
The second one was Threshold of Pain's map 07, has a nice big spot for it to bounce slowly.

I don't know why I'm not saying this in IRC.

>>2281361

just gave it a countdown timer

and it spams more axes on death now

>>2281363
Noice.
How long is the timer?

>>2281368

a reaction time of 35

>>2277614
Alright, Gentlemen i was reading the wiki and it says the following line.
>As with the BFG9000 and chaingun, the full rocket launcher sprite (after pickup) is slightly too large for the screen, and can only be viewed with a level or resource editor.

Could someone please post pictures of their full first person sprites as it would be very helpful to me as i'm trying to make accurate models because every model pack i have found is not.

>>2281329
>>2281308
Will you make Pain elemental replacer too?

>>2281240
Actually upon further looking. 31 in the fixed version has differences between both the original broken version and TNT31.wad fix, so even more reason not to use it for demo playback and recordings

>>2281378

Yes, I was thinking about a winged slime of some kind that constantly drops small slimlings that pursue and harass you, on "death" the wings falls off and it becomes just a big leaping slime, after an extended period of time it'd either:

A) Split into two big slimes with full HP

or

B) Regrow its wings and get its HP back

also when wingless every time it flinches it'd spew out a few smaller slimes, so using rapid fire weapons would be a bad idea

>>2281376
Oh, I can't seem to find any large pictures of the world sprites if you happen to that those as well that would be great!

>>2281383
So cluster bomb = fucktrillion new slimes and earthshaker = all slimes are kill?
Sounds good.

>>2281392

same thing if a player is dumb enough to use the dart buster.

I really need to give the arm cannon's states names

Actual name for this fucking gun = ???
semi-auto with charge = buster (Obviously)
dart mode = ???
Big arm cannon = ???

>>2281394
>Actual name for this fucking gun
Blaz cannon

>semi-auto with charge = buster (Obviously)
B. Buster

>dart mode
Dinky Darts(It's good now but it's just a name)

>Big arm cannon
Serious Blaz

>>2281394
>Actual name for this fucking gun = ???
You're not going to find a more fitting name than Blazter. Stop hating it.

>>2281376
>>2281384
it would probably be easier fo you to download SLADE and explore the graphics for yourself.

>>2281406
>SLADE
What is that?

>>2281407
It's a doom editor.

>>2281409
>SLADE
I don't really have that much time, As i kinda want to get this out of the way not get stuck trying to learn an editor just to get a few images of sprites.

>>2281394
>>2281401
>Big arm cannon
Blazing Inferno

>>2281412
Its very easy to look through the sprites, anon. You don't need to learn anything

>>2281417

The problem is the big arm cannon shoots big ass cannon balls.

ok where are the damage values for all the hitscan weapons in shut up and bleed? ive been looking all over in slade and i cant find them.

>>2281439
In the weapon decorate lumps themselves?

>>2281441
thats the first place i checked dude

>>2281441
oh wait youre a dev. what am i not seeing here?

>>2281443
What are you looking for, exactly?

>>2281412
>I don't really have that much time
so you'd rather waste everyone else's with vague requests? you know how many "world sprites" there are? this isn't even all of them

>>2281446
the damage values for the hitscan weapons. i'm seeing all the weapon properties except for the damage value. is it based on kickback or something in this mod or am i just forgetting how decorate works?

>>2281450
the remainder

>>2281451
Look for A_firebullets, it should be in there.

http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_FireBullets use this for a reference and have fun with what you're doing

Oh my god this mod. This level, the music.

>>2281453
hurr, thanks spook. i guess i really am forgetting how decorate works.

>>2281452
>>2281450
Fuck me that is a lot of sprites. Thank you.

Someone needs to pin this in the future and stick it in the general, so just in case you need sprites.

>>2281461
No problem.

>>2281467
>Someone needs to pin this in the future and stick it in the general
no, don't, it's poorly organised, a proper version would be grouped by sprite instead of just split into those of max dimension less or greater than 120

is there any sort of bullet property to make it pass through more than one enemy? if not is at least possible?

>>2281484
i'd assume you'd make it so that they aren't colliding and then an event or something like that.

>>2281486
>event
What i meant to say was a hit event so when it hits the monsters collide it triggers damage or something like that.

so, it would pass on by but would damage them and this of course is assuming that doom has the ability to do this.

>>2281489
well i know theres weapons like the railgun which travel through anything in its way but i'm wondering if i can make that with a limitation. like a bullet can pass through enemies but only a maximum of three at once.

>>2277614

What wad?

>>2278476
>NUMBERS. NUMBERS EVERYWHERE
>A BIG FUCKING NUMBER GOING DOWN QUICKLY

>>2281493
>>2281497

Golden souls 2, it's pretty damn good

>>2281491
Yeah, You would just make it so the projectile is destroyed after set number of events.

Decided to try animating one of DoomNukem's weapons

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70702956/Doom/Gun%20Animation.swf

>>2281531

I like the sounds, and the fact it's handless amuses me

>>2281495
That's why I gave up on DoomRPG. Too much of shit in it. Guy who makes it really needs to contact Stone Soup dev team and ask him to help all the unnecessary shit, because they are really good at that.

DoomRL wad is fine, though

>>2281560
That's why DoomRPG is so good though, the amount of shit you can tinker with is awesome.

Wait a second, I am confused about GMOTA.
Zombiemen are replaced by archers, shotgun guys are replaced by steel dukes, chaingunners are replaced by gunners in brown robes. Then who the hell are thieves?

>>2281574
>Then who the hell are thieves?
Dick-ass motherfuckers.

>>2281576
>Dick-ass motherfuckers.

I guess mystery solved then!

You've earned your keep, Mr. Holmes. You can go home now.

Spectres

Dammit, I'm always forgetting about those guys.

That's because they're invisible you ding dong.

>Overrated megawads

Hellbound. While it has its moments, gameplay is a bit boring, IMO. I also think the author needs to play more good slaughtermaps to learn a few things, because his attempts at doing them here weren't exactly that fun.

>Underrated megawads

D2TWID. I guess its because I actually enjoy Doom II itself, but I really liked this one.

>>2278891
Well, if it makes you feel any better, given advice from a lot of people and discussion in IRC and Teamspeak, the following things have happened and are currently in-game as of yesterday:

- Aura stacking is now much more difficult, the number of auras you can stack is now based on your energy stat and you'll only be able to stack every aura around ~175 energy
- Blue aura's behavior was changed so that it doesn't cut the cost of a skill, but refunds the percentage cost when the skill is actually used instead, so you'll still need the base cost to even use the skill first to get said refund, it also has more levels in smaller increments
- Added a bunch of levels to a few augs and completely reworked the battery aug to have many more levels and not have as noticeable an impact at lower levels, plus also worth noting that it only charges when you are totally still and not moving
- The aug's max battery is now based on your capacity stat, so it can get much higher, but in general due to the higher levels augs now have, they will drain battery much faster when leveled up, I may further increase drain in the future based on other factors, waiting to see how the current setup pans out though
- Upgrading augs is now much more difficult, as it requires both a canister and a number of upgrade units proportional to the level of the aug you are trying to upgrade to

Also regarding builds, I'm not a huge fan of classes and being stuck to one build type the entire game which is why you can eventually branch out and master everything. It's a personal decision and I won't be changing that anytime soon.

>>2278476
Oh god somebody actually posted this hahaha.

>>2281495
I fucking died so hard this went straight into my DRPG IRC topic.

>>2278927
>>2278951
And this is why I made so many settings. You can make it as easy or as hard as you want. I can't balance for everyone in the world's tastes, so the best I can do is expose the settings and let people do it themselves.

>>2281712
>trying to spark yet another D2TWID vs Hellbound flamewar

Wait, there were flamewars between those two?

>>2281735
I'd sooner have nerds arguing over megawads than see more shitposters

Hellbound got snubbed at the 2014 cacowards while D2TWID won one. People got mad about it.
