Please reply to this post with news.

>>2510704
i think the problem, if any, with a city level, downtown in particular, is that the route you must take through it is not obvious, so you can end up blundering around not making any progress for far too long, which is frustrating.

i don't think it's the lack of ability to fly -- an ability to fly would alleviate some symptoms by giving the player more options to explore, but would otherwise allow all kinds of sequence breaks and require all maps to be redesigned with "the player can just fly over this" in mind, restricting architecture possibilities.

>>2510767
brutal doom nazi comeback

finally since v18

>>2510786
Im not saying flying would fix the level, I'm saying that a city level is better with some sort of verticality and the most verticality Doom can provide is rather hackneyed.

In just about every single area in Downtown, there's a specific region where getting "up" is a defining factor: There's a small apartment complex, a medium sized tower with skellingtons all around it, and a big open-air building where you tightrope around the edges.

Of those three I described, you get to two of them by teleporting from near-unrelated areas. The place just doesn't flow right.

In suburbs, the verticality is reduced extremely. Almost the entire level takes place in a very small area with a ground level and the most verticality you get in the map is at the very end when you need to climb up those... box... things... in the corner of the map. It all feels very bland and when you combine all that with the very end and it's open-air, no-cover shoot-out that is hell to pistol start, then the whole level becomes not fun at all.

Reposting from old thread. Greetings from California, doom is awesome, it's hot as hell.

re: satan in doom

doom 2 comes from the group of guys who brought the world a cinematic (at the time), instant replay of a horrendous, unstable, chocolate-addict dictator being shred to nothing but a red paste of its own intestines; knowing Romero, and most importantly, adrian carmack, they wouldn't have hesitated in putting in the game in red letters, in the most explicit way possible, "CONGRATULATIONS MARINE YOU KILLED SATAN HIMSELF."

john romero, who was the major level designer and id software original, used to do comics back when he was less than 10 years old, where he portrayed a kid being attacked by his father by being poked in the eyes. adrian carmack, art designer at id software and ANOTHER id software original, used to work as an aide in a hospital, and he frequently took pictures of gruesome injuries, severed limbs, and who knows what the fuck else. and he shared those pictures with his relatives and friends as if they were baseball cards. he liked dark, grim art, and he was known for having as much fascination with obscure and crude heavy metal bands as much as romero was a mere heavy metal fan himself (d_e3m8 was ripped off from a song made by s.o.d; and they were not as big as, say, metallica, slayer or pantera back in the day)

i'm pretty sure they had this very conversation about including such an important entity in the game back when they developed doom 2; for many, the IoS works as the gatekeeper and the unholy object that connects Hell itself to our own dimension, and so far the official word after you end map30 is that "the most horrendous visage of the biggest demon you've seen crumbles before your eyes", so everything else you listen or read is just an unmoderated display of pointless desire fueled by misguided attitude from people with undeveloped levelheadedness.

if you truly want to experience killing "satan" in doom directly from the hands of someone who believes in it, then i'd recommend you to play Regular Day.

Those random German screams ripped straight outta Call of Duty are silly. The Wehrmacht soldiers slur their words a lot, I doubt they used real German voice actors in that game. I also think a lot of the stuff they shout at you is a bit out of place if you understand what they're saying. It would be nice if they ripped the sounds from the Wolf3D dream levels in Wolfenstein the New Order / Old Blood. It would sound more appropriate, I think.

Is there a map like Call of Dooty's zombie mode?

I essentially just want a map that endlessly spawns enemies until you die.

>>2511893
I would totally play that.

Moreso if you had only a few lesser weapons with very limited ammunition, so you had to be as conservative as possible.

Make sure the zombies are mostly unarmed, lumbering things that stumble toward you, too.. Except that the rare ones with weapons also give you those weapons or ammo.

>>2511216
What is this it looks awesome

>>2511907
It's DoomRPG, with DoomRL Arsenal and DoomRL Arsenal's Monster pack all stuck together.
That's me in my 'break the game' state. It's not even fun, and I had to amp up the monsters numbers to 200%. And then that's just kind of chaotic.

>>2511893
>>2511905
I was referring to Call of Dooty 2 the wad's zombie mode.

Which was essentially a horde mode.
I want a horde map where you just fight until you can't anymore aginast waves of increasingly stronger demons.

>>2511928
true

>>2511928
There's an event in DoomRPG that works like that. Open the box, and monsters start showing up, each getting stronger and stronger until you either die or run away.

I eventually got bored. Also, in the box was a neural stunner, which sucks.

I suppose I prefer the autocannon or particle cannon, mostly because they have more oomph.

>>2512039
Has anyone ever tried to port Marathon's physics and weaponset into Doom? Or, for that matter, any Marathon maps?

Okay, I've definitely broken the game over my knee.

It started with stims, easily enough. I just played like normal until I had a hundred of a bunch of various stims. I wasn't doing too badly. I'd used a thermonuclear bomb and an invulnerability stim to break into a store and get my first shield parts, some acceptable armor and weapons, etc.

By the time things started to change, I had a nanolaser, a nano particle beam cannon, and had a few useful augs. Biggest thing was my enclave power armor or whatever DoomRPG calls it, and that was enough to give me a lot of damage reduction. So I was playing well, slowly (VERY SLOWLY) killing some suicide-level assassination missions in map01, gathering modules, and leveling up luck, because I really wanted to get those augments.

But then it turns out: Stats cap at 140. They go no higher, ever... Unless you use stims. I got to 140 luck, saw that I couldn't get much better drop rate, and despaired.

And then I found the medbay. Spend the cash in medbay to inject me up with a hundred luck stims, and and enough potency/purifiers that I got 500 to every stat, and the stims lasted 2.5 hours.

In the first half hour I got so much money I could do literally anything with it. I have maxed my augs, I have one of every shield (Two of a few, I don't give a shit anymore) and all the money weapons can buy. Or all the weapons money can buy, either works.

And of course, I had enough EP and modules to get every aura. So now I have infinite ammo, do 8x damage, am completely invulnerable. Right now I have it set so that the monsters scale as if the first level of the wad is level 200, and every single monster is a named miniboss.

The weapon I'm using here is a second particle beam cannon, this one set up to the firestorm rapid-fire mode. It was intended to just burst three shots and require a reload... But remember. Infinite ammo aura. Double weapon speed aura. Double weapon speed augmentation.

The path to godhood is drugs.

>>2512079
>>the path to godhood is drugs

So, you're playing System Shock 1?

>>2512076
>Has anyone ever tried to port Marathon's physics and weaponset into Doom?

Yes. Samsara did it. And since Terminus basically said "feel free to do anything with the Samsara code", it could be really easy to mix the Samsara weapons with PresidentPeople's old Marathon monster set and have half a TC ready.

>>2512093
>>2512093
Or just play as SO in Samsara, and disable everything but Marathon monsters in Samsara Monster Mixer. It's the closest you'll get aside from the air physics.

Are there any mods that involve time manipulation? Because it would be cool to slow time to dodge bullets and stuff. Maybe rebalanced so that most projectiles are much, much faster.

>>2512121
Honestly I always thought it'd be pretty cool to have a mod where all hitscans are replaced with physical projectiles and FEAR-style slow-mo has the effect you'd expect on them. Or the bullets are hitscan normally and turn all new shots into projectiles.

>>2512121
I wish.
But there is one for Quake 1 called Superhot.

>>2512131
I actually once made a mod that turned every hitscan weapon into a projectile, enemies included. Then I got a bit carried away and started making new weapons, and that expanded to changing monsters, giving each weapon an alt-fire, and splitting apart chaingun/pistol ammo (as well as making the pistol actually useful after you find the chaingun)

I haven't worked on it in months, but I'm toying with the idea of turning the rocket launcher into a flamethrower.

>>2512121
I think there's someone working on something like that actually.

It's in 3rd person even.
Looked very ambitious.

>>2512121
Russian over kill sort of

>>2512139
The problem with Flamethrowers in Doom is you need to make a burning death animation for all the monsters. If they just die normally it looks lame.

>>2512093
I've never made a Marathon monster set, though. I did make a player skins pack featuring various Marathon monsters.

Or are you perhaps thinking of Samsara Monster Mixer? I may or may not have thrown things at Shadowlink concerning the Marathon set.

Failing that, there's TwelveEyes' Marathon monster set, but I had no involvement with it.

>>2512139
I may not be a modder, but I figure it's best to always start simple and implement ideas in phases and segments rather than just piling things on as you go. It's probably hell to go back and try to make sense of everything if you just work at it all in one go.

>>2512147
I have a marathon-monsters.wad that I thought you made. Sorry.

>>2511893
cyberpunk shootdown

Purism aside, is there any reason not to use free-look? Only thing I can think of is being able to shoot triggers that are above/below you (but that's something I never do).

>>2512161

If enemies are too high up, autoaim will not reach them, which can make some Cacodemon usage particularly bastardly--especially if infinite actor height is on.

>>2512148
It would probably be smart, when making a mod, to draw out some kind of design document...

But I'm the lazy kind of 'modder', the one who never does anything serious or in-depth. I've only ever made a handful of maps, for example, and they all sucked. In the case of ProjectILE, it was mostly me fucking around with things.

>>2512161
play several maps from pistol starts, getting 100% kills, both with and without mouselook, and tell us which you think is easier. i suggest Plutonia map29 as a good example of a map with lots of snipers which need vertical aim to hit.

>>2512179
>map that predates source ports adding in freelook needs it.

What?

>>2512184
just do it and report back. if i tell you what i expect will happen the power of suggestion will influence your conclusion.

>>2512184
also, i didn't say anything about a map needing freelook or not. please don't put words in my mouth.

>>2512192
>i suggest Plutonia map29 as a good example of a map with lots of snipers which need vertical aim
>which need vertical aim
>need
>i didn't say anything about a map needing freelook or not.

I believe you.

>>2512223
vertical aim is a proper superset of freelook. it is not equal to it.

>>2512235
That doesn't matter. What matters is that Vertical Aim is not "needed"

>>2512161
I honestly use freelook because I played other, more modern first-person shooters before Doom and so I was used to it.
Looking upwards or downwards doesn't do anything, and I don't actually get any better because of it. it's just more comfortable for me that way.

>>2512165
That's what you turn off autoaim for.
Free aiming feels better anyway.

>>2512239
>What matters is that Vertical Aim is not "needed"
If you say so. I say it would be prohibitively difficult to get 100% kills on pl29 without it, given all the monsters in windows halfway up the sides of buildings.
>>2512249
>Looking upwards or downwards doesn't do anything
True, it doesn't do much if you don't fire.

>>2512259
A fully 'purist' setup has vertical autoaim. You don't need to look up at them to kill them.

I understand the purist viewpoint, but honestly I just prefer not only the modern feeling but also the precision. To hell with Autoaim deciding a Demon closer to me is more important than that Sergeant about to rip me up. I play ZDoom with no mouselook but most of my playtime goes into GZDoom, so whatever.

>>2512273
Both are completely valid ways to play. Vert autoaim is the default, therefore, freelook isn't required by any means, and wasn't possible in the default game.100% kills without looking up/down is possible. And not that hard, even without a crosshair, almost all the weapons have a conveniently placed sight that actually works well dead center

>>2512273
>>2512280
You know what would be interesting? A 'purity' megawad, where each level has its own different gameplay elements. In one, it unlocks jumping so that you can jump from pillar to pillar. In another, it completely bans freelook. In a third, you need to actually freelook upwards to shoot a certain button near the ceiling.

But I'm not sure you could change the gameplay options like that automatically.

>>2512239
>That doesn't matter. What matters is that Vertical Aim is not "needed"
>>2512262
>A fully 'purist' setup has vertical autoaim. You don't need to look up at them to kill them.
So what you're saying is, vertical autoaim is not vertical aim? I give up, it's impossible to discuss things with people who don't speak the same language.

>>2512289
Vertical autoaim is when you look towards a cacodemon- one who is floating above the center of the screen by a good 6 meters, so you're stuck aiming below him. And then you pull the trigger, and the bullets magically hit it, automatically going to the same Y-level as the caco.

Vertical aim is when you use freelook (or a button) to look upwards or downwards.

Then again, I'm >>2512262 and not anybody else, I kind of jumped into the conversation. I might not be making sense. Sorry about that.

>>2512287
Well, they can be set manually in source ports, but mapsets can disable jumping and crouching. I wouldn't be surprised if freelook can also be disabled.

>>2512296
I see.

My definition of vertical aim is any kind of aim that doesn't go straight horizonal. That is, manual (aka freelook) or autoaim.

Your definition is identical to freelook, which makes it redundant.

>>2512307
Not that guy, but it is freelook, but only referring to one axis. It's an important distinction, because this dimension was not free to be looked upon originally.

>>2512310
See? No-one is speaking the same language, ergo the point is impossible to discuss.

>>2512313
Just gotta straighten out everyone's definitions to a point we agree on, then discuss it.

christ we got autistic over this

This is even before getting into the nuances of the term "mouselook".

let's talk about something different

to those who dislike the city levels in doom2:

what do you think of the city levels in ksutra?

>>2512328
I love kama sutra, period.

>DoomRPG
>That fucking interface
Cluttered doesnt even begin to describe it

>>2512423
Yeah, it's pretty cluttered.
I keep trying to make everything smaller, but it does not like turning smaller.

But I've pretty much beat it, at this point, seeing as I have infinite money and infinite modules and easily enough money to make more stims for another 2.5 hour godmode again.

Yes, it could be done *much* cleaner, but that'd be a massive change in workload. Also, most UI elements are optional, I choose to drop most of them that can be dropped.

It's a philsopher thing, but on 4chan it's autism.

Is it possible to use brutal doom without affecting the gameplay at all? i.e. just the different gore etc

>>2512515
Well, you can get smooth doom and the droplets mod. Both make it pretty gory.

yeah the only way i got past hr24 was absolutely monumental amounts of savegame reloads.

the nearest equivalent is probably av26, which has a similar setup/theme but it's easier in one way at least, seeing as the entire lowest level isn't a damage sector.

>>2512273
Personal taste is to play with free look of the mouse, as well as dot target for easy to use and simplicity, gives perfect estimate of where bullets go and does not obstruct view.

I am of using free look due to simply it feeling more natural and free for FPS, being locked for horizontal turning and forced auto-aim was sensible in original game as to how it was rendered, looking upwards or down would look of very strange and unusual in software render.
As I play in hardware mode, this problem goes away, when looking upwards or down view does not stretch and distort, I can use the freelook and it feels fine and natural.

I turn off auto-aim because I was always of opinion that auto-aim was, how to say, cheat option, in most of games, it feels also very much too rigid and unpleasant to play with, I always want to place shot where I want to place shot, aimbot telling me other target is more important and directing my shot fills one with fury, especially when aimbot misses or hits barrel exploding me together with monster.

I like to think of doomguy as someone who is just... tired. He's been awake, drugged up on stims so long that he doesn't actually know if what's happening is completely real. They could be aliens instead of demons, or they could just be an enemy human force, he doesn't care.

He just knows that what he's doing is his job, his duty.
There's nobody else left to do it, anyway.

After all, the scene at the end of one of the episodes of Doom1 is where he's finally done his job, and now he's pretty much falling over to die now that he's done... But then he gets another mission.

>>2513037

>>2514375

>>2514320
Just a heads up, putting gameplay mods into your skins folder will make all servers reject you because of file authentication. It will also break almost any other mod you try to play. This is why people tell you not to do this. If you plan on never playing anything but brutal offline, then go for it.

You'd best either drag-and-drop brutal onto gzdoom.exe when you want to play it. Faster ways are making a shortcut with -file filename.wad, or get a Doom launcher. Doom Explorer's singleplayer tab works great for me. It can even make desktop shortcuts.

>>2513037
I never liked the idea of him being off the hook crazy. Maybe a little bit disturbed, he's seen and done things that most others have not, but he'd still be coherent and stable.

>>2514438
I like the idea of him being normally calm and collected, if a bit disturbed, but during combat, he's wired himself to nothing but raw hostility. Or maybe he's desperate beyond belief, which gives him a sort of psychosis.

I mean, the fucker can punch the cyberdemon to death.

>>2514581
Judging by him punching his commanding officer and refusing to shoot unarmed civilians, my guess is that the Doom Marine is basically your average upstanding guy with morals who does what he thinks is right. And the moment everyone else is dead and all he has is a Pistol and some spiked brass knuckles to his name, every ounce of restraint he has goes out the window to make sure there's not a single demon left standing on Mars, Earth and Hell alike. Especially for the Earth invasion.

Sort of, I hate referencing this series of all things, an Attack on Titan situation I guess, where the main character's probably absolutely pissed and livid at what the Demons have done and would ensure the death of every single one at his hands if it meant saving humanity. And more than indulging in a bit of ultra-violence to get that anger out.

>>2514293
>also, anyone know what those yellow specks are?
>don't see them when actually playing, but when I bring up the menu or screenshot, they appear in places
no idea, except the default dimcolor is yellow, so you get a yellow hue blended over the game when you open the menus. try setting it to black, and dimamount to 0.

>>2514293
I think it's because you have your renderer set to render for Speed rather than Detail, it's an option in your GZDoom graphics menu.

Setting your renderer to Speed makes the game run faster, but then you get the occasional little pixel sized gaps in walls and stuff. Detail takes these away, but the game doesn't render as efficiently, so on some machines you might get a bit of lag in some areas.

Someone on a stream wished they could play other map sets with Valiant's weapons, so I whipped this up.

>>2514824
I don't know if I agree, Doom Guy straight up doesn't kill humans. Zombies, yes, but he was sent to Mars and it's moons because he refused to fire at a civilian. Doom's a good guy, and not enough people really see that.

>>2514854
he wouldnt shoot someone who isnt a threat but i dont think he would hesitate if he was being fired upon

All of the ports that make traditional doom monsters 3D make them look goofy as fuck. I can't tell if it's just because the models themselves are bad or because Doom's monster designs don't translate as well into 3D. What does /vr/oom think?

>>2514824
>spec ops the line with doomguy
The end twist would literally be "no john you are the demons"

>>2514905
That I can agree with.

>>2514908
i think we have been used to the original designs for 20+ years, so any approximation falls into an equivalent of uncanny valley territory and will never look quite right.

>>2514908
The doom monsters have exaggerated proportions and simplistic animations that look extremely stupid - or cartoony - in 3d. To make 3d models of them you actually have to do an interpretation, not attempt a 1:1 conversion.

>>2514908
Part of it is almost always awkward model quality and animations, which can make things a bit.. strange-looking. But another strong part of it is that enemies basically just walk forwards in various directions and then turn towards their target to attack. It makes it strange because that Baron's gonna doofily walk through this hallway with its entire body spontaneously changing direction as he zig-zags from side to side casually.

>>2514918
>with its entire body spontaneously changing direction as he zig-zags from side to side casually.
That *could* be solved with decorate though. Check out "survival doom", a resident evil clone tech demo in gzdoom more or less.

>>2514918
I haven't used any 3D sourceports in a while but I thought JDoom and Risen3D both had modes that make it so that models turn in the direction they're going rather than just snapping to it. I wonder how much changing behaviors so that they're not completely stuck to those angles would change the gameplay.

>you will never be suddenly distracted from a game of Doom by the feeling of a cyberdemon suddenly firmly gripping your shoulder

>you will never cry out in surprise as he throws you to the ground, just before bringing his metal hoof down on your head hard, bursting your skull like a ripe watermelon

Why do we live in the wrong reality?

>>2514937

Fuck off.

>>2514771
Too bad the game is Arenacrap

>>2514935
Probably the model just interpolates rotation while the 'actual' actor does indeed snap to position, which in practice means monsters might appear to shoot backwards or sideways from time to time.

>>2514909
KEK why didnt i think of that

Just finished this. Thoughts?

>>2514951
I always envision him as having a bunch of extra helmets plates strapped to him, because who doesn't pick those things up?

>>2514951
You need to practice a ton of basic anatomy. It is hard and boring but absolutely necessary.

>>2514949
That's what happens, but since there's a break in monsters starting their attack animation and shooting (for most enemies anyway) they might start their animation facing the wrong way but they'll normally have rotated before firing.

I was going to have a hack at trying to do some decent models as a pet project, since I think I could do a better job than whoever did jdoom/risen3D's models, but it seems pretty pointless now.

>>2514987
I think 3d models monsters in doom require a shitload of work for the non-existent improvement they give over the normal sprites. The best way to make good looking 'hd' monsters is to make more frames of animations or sprite rotations for the original sprites imho.

>>2514960
Just for you.

>>2515007
I like you.

<3

>>2515001
For existing monsters, yeah. If GZDoom's 3D support didn't completely fuck over performance I'd consider doing a TC, but I'm never going to do that if I have to make 2.5d spritesheets for every unique monster I want to make. Even just frankenspriting is A LOT more work than just making and animating a model.

>>2515016
Well you could always make 3d models and find or make some way to export frames/rotations automatically.

Anyways something I've been thinking about is how using a mosaic shader on a 3d model to essentially make it appear like dynamically generated sprites would look - I know it's not possible in gzdoom, but I'm curious none the less.

>>2515018
Someone did that on Polycount for some pokemon models with a shader on them that made them look like Gameboy sprites and they came out really nice but the thread they were posted in has 501 pages now and I can't be bothered to dig them up. It's probably possible, in some other engine.

>>2515018
Even with GZDoom's trash 3D model performance I could probably get away with a Silent Hill TC since I'm fairly sure it *at least* culls models from the render if you put a solid wall between them and the camera. If not, then fuck.

>>2514908
Some dude spliced some Doom 3 and DNF models together and made some fairly solid designs.
Sadly he lost them in a hard drive failure.

>since I'm fairly sure it *at least* culls models from the render if you put a solid wall between them and the camera.
If it's a one-sided linedef then yes.

>>2514908
First off, the animations. I know that some animations will unavoidably look wonky because of the low number of frames, but I swear, the people who make these models can't pose them in a way that looks natural for shit. The zombies for example. Instead of making them walk in a more natural way, they try to mimic exactly how their sprites moves. If you notice the zombies walking, they never bend their knees. That's fine for the sprites, as they're just 4 frames and you don't really notice it. But when they do that on the models, because of the interpolation between frames, they end up looking like when you try to make a cheap action figure "walk". Looks awkward as shit. I also noticed that in model packs like DS-Models, some monsters have these super detailed textures that just look out of place(e.g. The revenant's bones, the zombies, imps and gibs in DS-Models).
And lastly, but not least, some models are just plain ugly. Look at pic related. Gives me eye cancer. The low number of polygons is NO excuse. Quake 2 models were low poly too and they looked fine.

>>2515076
Yeah, the models have never really looked good. Props to anyone who could make Quake II quality models that could pass as from id, but for now we have these.

Good sprites beat bad models anyday.

>>2515079
Sprites also work better with how enemies are scripted at the moment, sudden instant turns need a lot of work to look believable with a model.

I say if we want to make a model pack, let's go ahead and do posing and AI adjustments to make them not look and act retarded

>>2515007

>>2515090
We should also use textures like this one. Just a simple front and back view of the monster, in a T pose preferably. Nothing too fancy, and sticking closer to Doom's, let's say, cartoony look.
I swear, there will be a perfect model pack for Doom one day. Even if I have to learn modeling and make everything myself

>>2515090
I really wish there were just a 3D engine with modern optimization, Doom's mechanics and the dead simple modding and mapping standards set by G/ZDoom and the community's editing tools. A fresh engine built entirely with the Doom modding community in mind, basically. Nothing else beats how easy it is to make content for Doom.

Right, so is there a way to force Doom touch and the like over to the SD card? If the dude's gonna keep giving his ports away for free I'm gonna need more room.

>>2515106
Some of Kaisers engine work could probably be developed into that. Speaking of whom, if he wanted to make a modern engine that's as easy to mod as doom he could probably actually do it.

eh, why not? sometimes moddb shits itself and an alternative download link almost feels like necessary. there's nothing wrong using a pastebin link in my opinion

>>2515884
because you just put both links in one after the other. done it loads of times. there was anything up to five mirror links for the deleted powerslave beta at one point.

>>2515747
>>2515769
Are you kidding those E1M7 and E1M8 covers are heavy as fuck.

>>2515884
>>2515893
what i mean is, saving characters is important but less important than usability. the links just being there, especially with the extension's ability to make them clickable, is preferable than having to go through pastebin, which is both an extra step and also definitely doesn't make links clickable. i see this as more important than saving a few characters just so the thing at the bottom of the news post that's been there for two weeks already, gets another couple of days.

>>2515769
>But can it surpass Doom Metal though?

You speak of Doom Metal as if it were the ultimate Doom music remix pack

I'm sure this gets asked a lot but how the fuck do I force a pistol start on every level without having to load the map in the console?

This looks like exactly what I want but it just doesn't fucking work for me at all. No idea why.

I just want to play through a wad normally, except each new map start resets all my weapons and items.

>>2516000
bind a key to the suicide command, press it, then respawn at the start of each level

Engine-wise, what can Eduke32 do tha GZDoom can't, and vice versa?

>>2516037
I'm not too well versed in EDuke32, but if I remember correctly it supports far more advanced scripting than GZDoom's ACS/DECORATE and therefore a more appropriate engine to make entire new games in

>>2516032
There's no loading the console, just type it out.

The one thing that did what you wanted didn't work apparently so this is what you get.

>>2516093
In DoomRPG, when I do the arenas, I end up with a key reward. What use are these? It's not like there locked doors in the outpost, and the keys vanish after I leave the map.

What a weird combination. You can't really use MSX suit powers at all.

Not that guy but that would just trigger autosave. And if he disables autosave it would autoload the latest save. Or at least that's how I remember it working

Hmmm, never thought that through.

>>2516113
Use Accessories to Murder, maybe?

>>2515814
Doomworld is more mapping oriented in general as opposed to zdoom which is the more mod/development oriented community.

The only problem is there's a lot more people on Doomworld who have lesser quality posts than zdoom, and I'm not saying zdoom can have its own shitty posts either, but Doomworld seems to be more prone to silencing some opinions as well as favourability between mods and some posters. While on zdoom, you can be fairly open about what you post as long as its not just straight dickishness; think try hard /v/ poster.

Doomworld has been around longest, so its got a sort of veteran status, one that some posters use as a snarky raised pinky over others, but a lot of good mapping stuff gets dropped there too as well as updated frequently and posted about with mods sorta just falling off; the vice versa can be said for zdoom minus some of the snobbiness.

[23:44] <Kate> there is no lockdefs.txt in doomrpg anymore, so it's probably a botched update and he needs to update his launcher and have it redownload doomrpg.

It's borked.
Delete DoomRPG, and redownload.
Lockdefs doesn't actually exist in DoomRPG anymore.

>>2516494
but I just downloaded DooMRPG and the zip file from the DooM rpg thread earlier this day.

unless he didn't update those links and requires me to go to the github link.

but I guess I could try again.

also, one of my other problems was that I had "gzdoom.exe/" in the file path for the exe.

Are there texture packs for Doom that, instead of aiming to be high res stuff, aim to change the theme of the game? Like the Quake texture pack for Heretic.

Ow, that hurt. Thanks for nothin' bonehead.

Dear Anons,
Am I weird for using Doom as an escape?

Like when everything is depressing or I can't sleep, or hell, I need to kill time and nothing else sounds fun - I grab whatever newest, hottest Doom shit is floating around and load it up.

I'm not even NEET or anything. Solid relationship for years, wrapping up college, decent bank, but Doom has been the one friend who's stuck with me longer than anyone else. I don't want to let it go.

>>2516645

That doesn't sound weird at all, anon.

>>2516645
Doom is my goto game when I have to think about a game to play and come up with nothing. I must have played E1M1 over 1000 times already

Dear Anons,
Is it bad that I prefer Doom 2 solely due to the fact that I only ever had 2 when I was a child, and didn't play 1 until years later?

>>2516665
No, not really. I personally prefer Final Doom, the MMs, and Icarus over Doom and Doom 2.

>>2516665

I'm the same way, I had only the shareware version of 1 when I was younger.

In retrospect, having just gone through 1 with my girlfriend, it was downright superior in level design, even if lacking in my true waifu the Super Shotgun, and a few enemy types. Doom 2 just starts to feel lazy in a few levels, and others are needlessly expansive or obnoxious.

Heretic though? That's a whole 'nother story. It feels extremely un-memorable, the monsters feel like meatsponges due to the awful damage spread and lack of BFG-type weapon, and it's becoming a bit of a slog. I'm eager to wrap it up so we can move onto TNT/Plutonia and Hexen.

>>2516665
By the time I had a computer that could run doom well the sequel had hit and I picked it up at Computer City. Not CompUSA, Computer City. I think I still have a mousepad from those guys on a spare comp.

I did yarr the first game from someone who liked to share games, and way later I sent id some money and an apology note and legit owned a boxed copy of Doom 1. I like to think that the doom wads that I have on my computer are the children of the files transferred from hard drive to hard drive, disk to disc, even to one of those terrible zip disks too.

>>2516676
>Play Heretic
>Everything feels awful except the Crossbow
>Multiply damage by 2
>Still feels bad
>Go with 4x
>Not feeling it at all
Jesus christ how awful.

Thank god for that Quake weapons in Heretic mod.

>>2516693
I suggest trying Samsara with Heretic. Either use Corvus him self who has his Fire Mace turned into a slot 2 weapon, with a rechargeable tome of power, Parias if you're a hexen fan, or just go straight up Doom Guy if you want your Super Shotty.

>>2516676
>In retrospect, having just gone through 1 with my girlfriend
Funnily enough, sometime last year I took the mod I had made and talked my girlfriend into helping me 'test' it, when actually I just wanted her to play Doom with me and used the mod as an excuse.

I think she found diablo more fun, the heretic.

>>2516697
I have done this.

The enemies are still pretty durable but Parias tears through that shit thanks to Timon's Axe and Doomguy does better than Corvus.

Corvus's weaponry is just shit and the monsters don't help either.

>>2516702

We're slogging through everything ID because she bought the Steam Superpack and we have a rule about beating all the games we own. (Herculean. She still has about 300+ PC games to go.)

Heretic is honestly the most eh yet. We did Doom 1 vanilla with some HQ sounds, 2 with Brutal Doom (sue me), Heretic Vanilla, and I'm thinking about Complex Doom for TNT or Plutonia to ramp up the difficulty. Hexen will probably be vanilla because I've never actually beat it. Some of this is crossing stuff off my completed game list too.

I don't actually know if we have to go do Quakes or not, and Hexen 2. All of which I have little experience with outside Quake III Arena.

I have to say that playing through Heretic as a kid, I really was not impressed by the weapon choices at all. Hexen was a lot better especially due to the class variety, but that game had its own problems.

>>2516707
I LOVED hexen
and then I got to the second hub.

And then I just sat and stared.
I hated that second hub, and just felt like a sloooog.

I still haven't finished it.

>>2516653
>I must have played E1M1 over 1000 times already

I am 99% certain I can get to Map11 in Doom blind. My patience both then, and now, usually wears out by then.

>>2516710

>I am 99% certain I can get to Map11 in Doom blind.

Nevermind. Just tried this and it's way fucking harder than it seemed in my head. There aren't enough sound ques and my headphones aren't set up well enough to direct me through.

Does anyone have any good megawads for me to play with DoomRPG after I'm done with my current game?

I've never actually played any megawad, mostly just singular maps.

BTSX is honestly one of the very few ambitious mapping projects I've played that actually lived up to my expectations.

Oblivion - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=18013

this is from the most recent /newstuff chronicles where it did not receive a favourable review. thus two of the problems mentioned did not bother me so much: i knew this map would make me spend a long time searching with little action, and i knew to avoid the water at all costs. i agree, though, that it would be better with more streamlined gameplay and if there were ways out of the water, which is essentially an inescapable death pit. (however, one of the buildings has a ledge running round the side that looks like it might lead to a secret area. don't jump onto it, it's just another damage sector).

what bothered me were the bugs. it is clear this map was only properly tested in zdoom, the author claims prboom testing but even notes a door unopenable from one side in "proboom" (his rather cute misreading of prboom). there were others, most noticably, a switch to open a secret (bottom left picture) requires freelook to aim at it, and blocking obstacles that don't take infinite actor height into account. in the latter case, both the usual ceiling hangers, and also, a couple of the sniper platforms with caches of health potions have no way down from them except to run off the side, but the way back to safety is partially blocked by a torch that with proper 3d thing clipping you'd be able to jump over.

gameplay as the /newstuff review notes is long periods of running around searching for the next key/switch followed by dealing with a flood of teleporting monsters. it also notes the lack of resources, especially health, which i agree was detrimental, having spent a majority of the 80 minutes game time running around with <30% health and having to be very cautious of incoming fire.

summary: with detailed architecture and an open spacious design, this map should have been good, but some gameplay choices rendered it annoying instead.

pls rate and critique

>>2516838
It's kind of unique in that every map actually shares the same style, and one that isn't directly derived from the vanilla game at that.

>>2516862

Not too surprising.

Doomguy's shirt isn't actually ripped underneath his armor with the sprite but if you're going with the Doom cover look then that's fine

>>2516889
When I'm just doodling, I just draw him without an undershirt altogether. Even on the cover, you can see some parts of the shirt where it was ripped.

I like it, keep going!

The first episode of Doom is so great. Levels a huge and complex, and detailed.

The following episodes are a huge drop in quality. It always makes me lose interest.

Is it worth pushing through the boring episodes 2-4?

>>2517201

Well, I was going to suggest Rylayeh, but it appears you already found it.

>>2511583
Winter's Fury

>>2517392
But episode 2 is great!

4 is only really good if you like the feeling of frustration

>>2513037
He's a bit quirky

>>2513037
I think he is crazy.

But he somehow bottles all that insanity up inside and saves it for combat.

I was just wondering, is there a mod to replace the centered "viewmodels" and make them look more like this? Just a replacement of the base graphics? I'm not looking for something to make the game look HD, I'm just fine as is.

If possible I'd like to keep those graphics while running WADs. I mostly play old levels off of Doomworld, so I don't know if there's a way to replace the base assets that level mods use.

>>2517549
Making that would be really easy.
There's also lots of gameplay mods which feature weapons held on the side of the screen.

Really, you could just make this with XWE in a couple of minutes if you have the graphics you want already.

>>2516494
>>2516495
I redownloaded doomrpg through the launcher. Now I am having problems with the weapons and UI randomly disappearing on screen.

It seems to be affected by the angle I aim with mouselook and I think the lighting in the sector.

>>2517573
The thing is I don't want to mod the gameplay, all I want is to change the way the weapons look. I don't know anything about modding so it's going to be a pain in the ass if I have to do it for absolutely every WAD I play.

Does anyone know how to do progressive secrets? Like, the player activates secret in level one which opens a secret in level two, and that one opens a secret in level three, etc.

I want to have, like, secrets that are needed for secrets in other levels , so you end up with different levels.

>>2517595
You would really only need to make a Pwad which replaces all the original weapon frames, then you'd load that pwad after whatever map pack you're playing.

It'd be incredibly simple, you'd use .xwe to make a .wad, alternatively a .pk3 (a zipfile with a changed file extension) which contains the replacement frames (the frames just need to have the same name as the original frames), then you edit their alignment until it looks right to you.

What sourceport are you using? If you're using a ZDoom based port, you could literally put your pwad in the Skins folder and it would load every time. It might not work perfectly with mapsets which replace the weapons themselves though so you could end up with graphical inconsistencies that way.
Also, the rocketlauncher is -really- not that fantastic to use with an angled sprite, even if it's in a gameplay mod where the trajectory and spawn is changed to fit the sprite, the odds of hitting a wall or object next to you by accident greatly increases.

Also, I'd recommend at least giving some gameplay mods a try just to see what they do.
There's things like Smooth Doom which keeps the gameplay the same but just adds a lot of frames of animation and slightly alters the appearance of random monsters.
