Please reply to this post with news.

Xth for looking for exellent-detailed but well-playable mapsets.

Lost all my cool pics of doom guy. Post some Doom guy

>>2596095
>>>2596021
>what map is this
I would like to know this too please

>>2596109
It's from Going Down

>>2596079
Of the latest I've played...
Knee-Deep in ZDoom if you don't mind heavy backtracking (personally I like how it's done).
The Island for some Serious Sam-esque gameplay. It's a very pretty WAD.

This is the sixth map of KDIZD. They are HUGE.

>>2596093
this guy has some good doom and quake stuff

http://helios437.deviantart.com/gallery/37228320/Fan-Art-Games

>>2596070
Poll about detailing.
http://strawpoll.me/5152070

>>2596121
Ehh, got anything else? KDIZD isn't too user-mod friendly.

Streaming Doom, Strife, Wolfenstein and some other old games or whatever I feel like. Atleast I think I am nobody is saying anything in chat so I don't know if they can even see the game or not.

Using a reacharound method to stream the game by having gmod open in the background.

http://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561198068209077/

>>2596186
Woah, how do you stream through Steam?

>>2596186
>Your web browser does not support the minimum set of features required to watch this broadcast.

>What are the browser requirements for watching?

haha fuck you steam

>>2596109
Going Down map05

>>2596150
Somewhat Disagree. While high detailing can be nice, I have played good maps that had minimal detailing, like Demonfear and Swift Death.

And theres also plenty of nicely detailed maps that play like dogshit, like HeDRoX and Gothic99.

So my toaster of a laptop can JUUUUUUUUST barely run Half Life and I've been playing the shit out of it recently.
Having gone through HL, OpFor and Blue Shift I have a mighty need for more alien shootan and underground laboratory escapan.

Recommended Half Life 1 mods for toasters? It's the graphics card that's killing my performance, everything else is okay. A little walkthrough on how to get mods set up with Steam would be great too.

Curious to play Quake II N64 on PC. Any emulator you'd recommend?

>>2596308

What about rocket crowbar?

>>2596308
Point of View and Zombie Edition. Both are pseudo-expansions in the same vein as Opposing Force and Blue Shift, that is, the story through the eyes of a different character.
PoV through a vortigaunt (alien slave, those guys who shoot green lightning) and ZE through a headcrab/zombie with an upgrade system. You devour humans and shit for DNA upgrades.

>>2596352
eh playing as a Vortigaunt or zombie doesn't really seem that interesting

>>2596352
Not related to HL but you talking about watching the same story from differents points of view got me thinking, is there any wad that tells or makes you play as another Marine in Doom? For example the squadron that got first into the base in Phobos and that left Doomguy making guard or a random marine in Earth

>>2596439
You still have weapons and interesting stuff, not only "shoot green lightning".
They Hunger is a pretty neat horror mod. I can't remember any more good singleplayer mods. I've played a lot for most were multiplayer or garbage.

has anyone here ever heard of the descent or exodus for Doom 64?

they're actually pretty fun. shame they're so short, though.

Why is Hexen 2 way more Hexen than Heretic 2 is Heretic?

>>2596558
All I know is that id software still produced Hexen 2. Where as Heretic 2, id had nothing to do with it.

>>2596093
that left hand looks really weird
maybe it's the short fingers or the short forearm

>>2596474
I played vanilla doom64 through recently
Is it just me or does every demon projectile launch a little delayed compared to pc doom because I kept dodging right in to them for a long time
Also the movement is way more slippery and weighty and everything does way more damage
Anyway those things made me kinda not want to try mods for it but I just might be too deep in the nostalgia pool

what is the best way to make myself some weapon mods?

I really want to make a sawed off shotgun replacement

>>2596636
Sawn off.

>>2596637
Both are correct.

The best way to make weapon mods is to start 'frankspriting' and learning Decorate.

>>2596443
I think Demon Eclipse might be what you're looking for

the plot centers around a random marine in a UAC base somewhere on earth I think, and its timeline is supposed to take place at the exact same time as original Doom's plot iirc

>>2596602
the running speed is considerably slower if you're playing on EX, sprinting in the actual game is much faster

for example, you'll have some trouble grabbing the blue keycard by straferunning through the ledge in MAP07, I know I did because I was the only retarded kid back then who thought that was the only legit way to get it instead of hitting the switch in the room in the computer maze that came afterwards and then wondered why it wouldn't work and why sometimes a bridge would rise up and sometimes it wouldn't

now that I recall, it actually makes sense now that a wall lowered down to reveal a megasphere afterwards

I still got the plasma gun earlier than I was supposed to, so I guess it wasn't that stupid of an idea

>>2596150
Not many votes so far, and I'm already disappointed in what I'm seeing. I guess for most people, no matter how fun a map is, if it isn't detailed, it doesn't qualify as good.

>playing SUAB+BTSX+DoomAmbience
>map07
>that mastermind replacement

it's singing

it's so beautiful

no, it's really not

It has some of the most legit disturbing sight and attack sounds I've ever heard, I'd dare say it's one of the very, very few Doom monsters that ever made me feel uneasy at first glance. Totally has that Eldritch Abomination feel/look going on.

>play AV map16
>that room with six cyberdemons

>>2596662
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I do fucking love the Spidermind replacement in SUAB, there's nothing else quite like it in terms of feel and presence.

Like your character is really supposed to react with "What the shit was that?!" when hearing the otherworldly (Beach Boy) noises, and that when he actually sees it for the first time, he'll practically freeze and just howl in wide eyed horror at what he's looking at, and that even if he gets out of this alive, he'll never be -quite- the same again. Oh sure he'll readapt to life, but sometimes he'll remember it, stop in his tracks and shudder terribly, before going back to whatever it is that he's doing.

>mfw E1Z10
This is a glorious mix of many places from vanilla Doom.

Also, fuck that gimmick to get to this level. I would have never been able to find this if it weren't for the wiki.

>KDIZD
>phew, what a long level, it must be over
>another big place with many switches and intertwined corridors
>another
>an exit sign
>it leads to another huge area
>an another
>finally the end
The worst part is that I love this.

>>2596674
There just needs to be more mods with levels of fuck-your-shit-up-completely enemies like this out there.

Something along the lines of SUAB's mastermind in terms of nightmare fuel. The damn thing's just fucking SCARRING to look at and listen to. Especially listen to.

>>2596186
I'll probably stream again tonight if anyone is interested. Also I have a mic but it's awful so I won't be using it. consider it a live no-commentary run or something.

I'm gonna play whatever game you pick from start to finish or atleast get as far as I possibly can before passing out. http://www.strawpoll.me/5153890 also just a word of warning I'm not a pro by any means nor am I a living walkthrough so if I get lost or something don't get rustled. You're allowed to tell me what I need to do if need be but I hope it never comes to this.

>mfw playing physic with combat shock 2

>>2596809
Atleast you're streaming through steam which is completely non-profit.

So atleast I can't call you a shill.

I'll probably watch since this also proves you're only doing it for fun.

This map is enormous for vanilla. Holy shit.

>>2596831
I really liked it that they made huge maps for Doom 3 even though they were very linear.

>>2596809
>Strife winning.

I won't lie since you aren't going to be using a mic strife will probably be the best option to keep people entertained with it's voice acting.

>>2596335
I've used pj64 but

>muh correct emulator everything ragewars

It was ok for me.

>>2596831
i dunno whether that or map20 or map15 is bigger

>tfw mixing complex doom with mandrill ass project

>>2596919
Map20 actually took me about 35 minutes. I anticipated it to be longer, but you can just stroll through canyons, which were pretty straightforward.

map15 took me around 40 minutes, though I imagine about 5-10 minutes of that was me getting lost, heh.

map25 took me about an hour. Surprisingly easy to navigate, despite its nonlinearity, though, so it was more the monsters themselves that took my time.

map31 is also pretty enourmous. And its a slaughtermap on top of that. Took me an hour and 15 minutes.

Times for 25 and 31 are excluding reloads. 15 and 20 were done without saves, though.

>>2596945

I would if I knew even a lick of how to program.

But somebody should make a Judge Dredd wad for Doom.

>>2596975
That's a fucking excellent idea anon.

>tfw loved Dredd vs Death and played it loads

Am I the only one who thinks Carpathia is an immense faggot who shits up every Zandronum server he goes into?

In as simple of terms as possible, how would I extract the modified shotgun out of strain.wad (and strain.deh?) with the graphics and damage modifiers into a standalone mod?

>>2597000
Who?

>>2597000
It would seem so. I had the same reaction as >>2597010 .

>>2597010
>>2597015
Meh, fair enough I guess. Then again I've only ever seen him on the Grandvoid Jumpmaze server, but he can shit it up pretty bad.

Though I guess that's what I get for playing Jumpmaze.

>>2596659
>I guess for most people, no matter how fun a map is, if it isn't detailed, it doesn't qualify as good.

Here's another instance where, depending on how you apply the word "detailed," depends on how people will answer the question. Do I like geometric rooms with walls of the same textures? No. Is it necessary? No. Do I like rooms with a bit of detail to make it pop more? Yes. Is it necessary? No.

My own personal belief is that detail can add more ambiance and atmosphere while also adding to gameplay elements, so for me, detailing IS somewhat important.

If you're talking about superfluous linedefs that add another crimp in an already crimp upon crimp of another sector; then yeah, that shit is very unnecessary. For example: something like BTSX, I feel they have a lot of extra details that are just there to look fancy; however, removing them wouldn't affect the gameplay at all, only the eye-candy.

Insult me, kill me, but I've never played multiplayer Doom besides vanilla coop with my siblings.

What are some good servers, maps or "game modes" I should try and are active?
Right now I'm downloading the files for >>2597018, it seems fun.

>>2597026
Jumpmaze is alright I guess. Turns Doom into a platformer. Other people who play it can be a little on the cancerous side though, but obviously that doesn't apply to everyone who plays it.

>>2597026
Doom multiplayer is a fickle bitch.
Mostly, there's little shits who run around on the more popular mods.
>Ghouls vs Humans
You pick a side, a class, and try to kill the other side. Used to be really good before people started cramming in way too many classes on each side for it to be balanced. It's still fun though, and the servers will regularly pop up.
>Megaman 8-bit DM (MM8BDM)
Is honestly a fantastic TC that allows you to play as damn near anyone in the MM universe with lots of great MM-style maps to play with. The only problem is that these servers are usually infested with the worst kind of players that will try to boot you if you start doing better than them.
>All Out War (AOW)
It's the CoD/Battlefield of Doom; simply put. There's a bunch of classes and a lot of different combat roles you can fill, even with some support/utility classes, destructable building objectives, pilotable mechs/aircraft, and a lot of people get mad at Shock Trooper being OP.
>zDoom Wars
This used to get played more, but not as much anymore. It's RTS Doom-style. You've got simple tech trees, you plop down monsters, and then hope they attack the other guy zooming around plopping down monsters. It's still pretty fucking fun though.
>Internal Conflict
You play as the monsters of Doom and try to kill the other players who are monsters of Doom. It's gotten a revival recently that changes a lot of the dynamics so it's less campy and more actiony. This one is starting to pop up a lot more now than in the past.
>Wrath of Cronos (WoC)
You've got various classes: cleric, necro, ranger, warrior, mage. Each has its own branching skill trees, there's alchemy, leveling up, skill/stat points, and all that other good shit that comes with standard RPGs of the 2000s. It's some fun stuff, but it gets a little ridiculous with too many people. Cleric OP as shit too.

There's other ones, but these have been around awhile and are still popping up. Pick one, figure shit out, have fun.

>>2597038
>Doom multiplayer is a fickle bitch.
>Mostly, there's little shits who run around on the more popular mods.

Back when I played Skulltag 7 years ago or w/e there seemed to be a lot more variety in MP, now on Zandronum it's just the same servers with the same wads every day.

>>2597024
What things does detailing add to gameplay, that the layout doesn't?

>>2597038
You forgot about that one zombie mod.

>>2597028
I've been playing for a while and people were barely talking.

>>2597038
Ahh, I forgot I played MM8BDM back when it was released. I found it really fun even though the singleplayer mode is hard as balls.

There's no one playing those mods in any server, though. But servers exist, at least in Zandronum. Is there any other program, source port or anything in which I can look for servers?

>>2597047
Immersion and feel.
Doom is hundreds of times more fun when I can get into the maps mentally.

>>2597038
AOW was more designed as a tribute to C&C Renegade. It evidently didn't turn out that way considering.

I gotta say I like brutal strife simply because it's all it does is make strife more brutal.

No stupid reload system, no new guns. none of that all it does is make strife more convenient gameplay wise and making enemy deaths incredibly bloody.

>>2597062
Well okay. But outside of noob 94-ish maps, I can't really think of anything that didnt have those.

I guess I should worded my poll differently.

>>2597048
>>2597038
>>2597059
Part 2

>Whodunit?
A murder mystery mod with super detailed maps (imo a little over detailed but w/e) where one player gets picked as the killer after 20-30 seconds and has to kill the other players. The killer can switch colors and has other tricks and traps to kill them. The other players have to figure out who to trust and try to not kill the wrong person. The whole mod is fucked though because Eric's dickass found out you can just pipe everyone and wait to see who heals since innocents take less dmg from other innocents and the killer would have to heal or die, so as long as people don't go whacking everyone with pipes it can be fun.
>Push!
Doesn't get played as much anymore, but when it came out everyone was all over it. You have a gun with two firing modes, and you try to push other players off the platforms. You have a double jump, rocket jump, and a built in wall-hack to find/get away from other players. It's a lot of fun but usually a core group of people play it.
>Shotgun Frenzy (SF)
My personal favorite of Doom multiplayer mods. This one seems to be dying down more now, but it's like a base building defense + slaughterwad. There's a commander seat where someone buys buildings and can place turrets/health packs/ammo/all sorts of shit for the people on the ground, and then you can run around on ground shooting the fucktons of demons that come through. Damn it's fun.
>that one zombie mod
I have no idea what this is, but apparently it has to do with that one zombie. I believe it won all the cacowards one year; don't quote me on that though. This might be those "horde" servers, but I don't join them so I don't know.

Again, there are other mods (like the Resident Evil Mercenary mod) but these are the ones I see the most.

Sketching a mockup of the dialogue mode hud. How important do you think being able to scroll through message history is? Most for rpgs for example don't allow you to.

Ok guys, I'm finally going to hunker down and fucking learn how to code shit for Doom.
I've had a ton of gameplay mod ideas, and I finally want to make them.
I just would like to know, where is a good place to start?
A good resource for learning this convoluted shit?

>>2597107
Decorate:
>http://zdoom.org/wiki/Category:DECORATE_guides
>http://zdoom.org/wiki/New_User%27s_Guide_to_editing_with_DECORATE

ACS:
>http://zdoom.org/wiki/ACS
>http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_quick_beginner%27s_guide_to_ACS

In a nutshell: Decorate is about manipulating monsters, guns and objects, while ACS is about changing the game world. They frequently need to interact with each other.

>>2597107
>>2597114
You should also try to look through all the functions and such listed on the wiki, they often have great examples illustrating their use. You can open up mods you've downloaded in Slade to see what makes them tick too.

>>2597107
read the code in bunch of other mods and then use the zdoom wiki as a reference

>>2597114
>>2597116
Thanks guys.
Time to finally learn this shit.

>Years after Doom 64, Old Doomguy has shit locked down
>A demonic incursion suddenly happens
>A counter-invasion of Hell happens
>It turns out the initial demon attack was a false flag by a shadowy cabal that wants to obtain certain things found in Hell that will allow them absolute power
>You get knocked out and wake up in a prison level as the cabal performs their ritual

>The only safe place left is actually the portal to Hell

>>2597105
Should have the option to, so the mod maker could choose whether or not to use it. It's useful to be able to scroll back through the history in visual novels, for example.

Doomer's Domain - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=17408

a level originally from 1996. essentially a switch hunt in a maze, but disguised well. the texturing constantly varies, every area is themed differently.

very slow paced map, monsters mostly appear solo or in groups of two or three. you will spend most time exploring. also has rather a lot of linedef furniture, and more than one bathroom.

wasn't terrible but i likely won't play it again in a hurry.

>>2597149
That's a very good point anon. Coding a scroll bar seems like a daunting prospect though, so I think I'll just make up-and-down arrows like in the inventory to begin with.

>>2596656
yeah I got some of the keygrabs but when ever I went down a set of stairs I felt like I could not control myself until I was all the way down unlike in pc doom

Started scythe 2 today after the first one
why am I in hexen?
what's with the musics taken from other games in general
I am happy tho the egypt was kept to a minimal, very few games make the egypt theme comfy. sand alone is okay tho

Is there any way to make a weapon use the player's health as it's form of ammo?

>>2597349

Yes. On firing the weapon, do A_TakeInventory("Health",x), where x is a number.

>>2593702

Oh jesus.

Looks like Gandhi had sex with the corpse of a sacrificial lamb and that was the result.

>>2597354
Thanks man, trying to recreate some unused items and weapons from the Bible.
Using this for the DarkClaw.

>>2597389
doesn't the dark claw use human souls as ammo though

>>2597354
I've been trying to input this, but when putting it under the firing state, it tries to register that command as being a sprite.
Where do I actually put it in the code?

>>2597412

For commands without sprites, use TNT1 A 0 as the sprite entry.

The basic format for all decorate code is SpriteNameHere FrameNameHere Duration A_CodeCommand.
TNT1 is the name of the sprite (which comes packed in ZDoom as a blank sprite), with A being the frame (again, packed in ZDoom). It lasts for 0 tics, so it executes instantly, and you do your A_CodeCommand right afterwards.

Can ZDoom stretch low resolutions without putting that atrocious bilinear filter over everything?

I want to play with the original 320x200 resolution with some modern source port fixings.

>>2597445
Turn texture filtering to none.

>>2597445
>without putting that atrocious bilinear filter over everything?

Have you tried disabling your filters?
Alternatively, play on PRBoom+, which is much better if you want to play the semi-original way.

>>2597454
>>2597456
ZDoom doesn't have that option, but I did try it in GZ to no avail

Guess I'll check out PRBoom

>>2597445
for being as-close-as-possible to original without using dosbox, play with chocolate doom
>>2597471
zdoom does have filtering option, look harder

>>2597471
Both ZDoom and GZDoom literally have filtering options that you can set to "none". You're not looking hard enough.

>>2597471
Yes it does, check in the graphics settings in the Options menu.

Never did mapping for DOOM, but I'm curious.

What is the DOOM equivalent of pic related?

Give me one reason that Duke isn't the most OP Samsara character.

Protip:you can't.

Seriously i haven't lost a single deathmatch playing as him, his weapons just reap so much carnage is absurd.

Hail to the fucking king baby.

>>2597492
i don't know what the picture is referring to, sorry. can you explain its context

>>2597497
>Not playing as B.J
>Not spamming "YEAH!" over and over

>>2597497
>Give me one reason that Duke isn't the most OP Samsara character.

because with the bugfixes in zandro 2.0, blazkowicz is literally unkillable and chexguy is almost-literally unkillable

sorry, duke, you a shit

>>2597512
It's the default (#0) texture in DN3D's build editor. When you make any new sector everything inside will have that texture pasted on.

>>2597515
>YEAH!
>YEAH!
>YEAH!
>Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-YEAH!
These are the sounds of approaching death.

>>2597497
has the mighty boot been balanced yet?

>>2597528
right, well the doom equivalent is probably startan3, which was the default wall texture in deu and most other editors from the early days.

>>2597528
defaults for walls, ceiling and floor look like this

>>2597540
these were often combined with floor4_8, the hexagonal pattern that was the default floor texture, and ceil3_5, a brick pattern that was the default ceiling texture.

you see a lot of the combination of the three in old wads.

not really /vr but why aren't there any indie fps games modeled after doom?

>>2597541
For Doom 2, anyway.

IIRC the floor and ceiling were what >>2597546 posted, but I may be wrong.

>>2597548
Well there's GLOOME
also it'd have to compete with all the FREE doom mods and TCs out there, which may discourage lots of people from trying
also you can't play it on your phone easy like with a lot of indy games

>>2597538
nope you can still double turbo boot to victory.

>>2596729
>there will never be an addition to SUAB that replaces the Spidermind replacement's sounds with Pyg's opera music from Arkham Knight

>>2597553
duke still #1 close-quarter brawler then
I wonder if it if will receive an update now that zand's up to 2.0 and will probably make things easier

>>2597516

How is BJ unkillable?

>>2597497
Douk was never good for more than a few laughs. Even before the meta changes >>2597516 mentioned, Ranger was shitting all over everyone with retarded quad rockets and nigh-unlimited grenade spam and Parias's explosion resistance combined with Douk's squishiness made him more or less a hard counter. Now that Chex and BJ are complete monsters he has no hope of ever rising out of permachump tier, along with Corvus after his BALLS OF STEEL and hilariously abusable remote bombs were fixed.

>>2597565
I'm really looking forward to 3.0 coming out considering it'll run off of the most recent stable verson of ZDoom, which means we'll (hopefully) be seeing more variety in WADs to play.

Wasn't someone working on a ZDL alternative that looked more like MAMEui and supported screenshots? I can't recall the name, but what became of it?

>>2597553
>>2597538
this is not a bug

this is a feature

it is the best feature

>>2597574

Samsara has been around since the Skulltag days, so when BJ's extra life activated Buddha mode on him, it was pretty much expected that only ZDoom would ever get to experience it.
Then it came into Zandronum. And now whenever a map has a Berserk in it, BJ suddenly dominates it.

Whoops.

The amount of people that can't figure out the options in zdoom/ gzdoom is fucking mindblowing. Holy shit I thought it was a joke at first.

>>2597548
There's WRACK but it's not that good

>>2597574
Buddha mode (prevents player health from falling below 1%, no matter how much damage is dealt) wasn't implemented until Zandronum 2.0 and is the mechanism used by BJ's extra lives. Prior to this it was extremely unlikely that the life would trigger because BJ would have to be reduced to really low health but not killed, so to compensate if it did activate BJ got a free megasphere on top of his teleport to safety. Now that Buddha mode is in, extra lives trigger 100% of the time and BJ is impossible to kill if he gets even one.

>>2597610
that seems to be in the brutal doom vein and not original doom which indies should be focusing on

I'm among those that thinks KDiZD is detailing at the expense of playability. And the maps are SO long that you quickly lose all reference to the originals other than the occasional iconic room. I dunno, I don't like superlong wannabe "epic" maps in general, but KDiZD often gave me the feeling of "what, ANOTHER area?" that made the levels a slog without a sense of progression 'cause you're just blindly going down the rabbit hole.

>>2597705
You gotta play them for what they are, not for the similarities or references to the original Knee-Deep in the Dead even though it's supposed to be a recreation.
Besides the HUGE maps and heavy backtracking (which, like I've said, I enjoy), I think they are very well designed. The final areas of Z1M8 and Z1M10 are absolutely bullshit, though.
Dunno, I felt like I was actually progressing through the levels. Get this key, go to that previous area to access to a new one, then activate this switch and go through another that just opened (maps usually have a camera screen that shows the door you just unlocked)... There was not only mindless progression but also exploration and in many cases heavy ammo convervation.

I'm working on a port of the Doom 0.3 Alpha Small HUD. Don't worry, I just started, I will be replacing "Shield" with "Keys", and spacing everything out later. Just doing the code for it right now.

I've defined an alternate borderflat (still looking for one proper). Does anyone know how to remove the small green outline around the border?

Story of my life. I get distracted so easily.

>>2597839
That looks pretty awesome. Especially the compact mirror trick!

>>2597847
I'm glad I got that working, but damn I wish I could make it be round. Ah well.

>>2597850
it might not look quite right but couldn't you overlay a frame graphic around the camera texture? Perhaps bulk up the sprite in general?

>>2597741
It's by Don Punchatz (RIP) who is the same guy that did the original Doom box art, but I have no idea if it was something id commissioned and never used, or if it does make an official appearance somewhere, or if he did it on his own, or what.

>>2597857
I'm not sure if it's the original use but I think I've seen the image used as a cover for some port or other re-release.

>>2597856
>overlay a frame graphic
I thought about that myself, but I really have a lot of trouble figuring out coding, so I wouldn't even know how to begin that task. I actually don't even know if that's possible.
>Bulk up the sprite
Naw, that would require doing the whole thing over, and I really just made it because I wanted to be able to do more with this old idle spriteset I made. For how ballshard the stealth mod is, it's really handy to know what's ahead.

>>2597867
Yeah, I get what you mean - doing the whole thing over would be not ideal. Pretty neat idea anywa, if only we could have shaped camtex graphics.

Seems like I've got a bit of Strife stuff too.

>>2597912

>>2597912
>>2597915
I think my goal here was to make Strife's enemies more of a pain in the ass. They were for a stealth-type mod, getting spotted would mean a tough fight against any foe, even stalkers.

The Sentinels are just damn near impossible to hit without autoaim, and they try to predict the player's motion, and will try to evade incoming shots by strafing rather quickly.

The Stalkers jump and shoot at you (courtesy of Strife's unused Stalker shooting animations) and just make your life miserable, fighting three or more of them is just a nightmare due to their quick and unpredictable jumping patterns.

>>2597867
It wouldn't be as nifty, but couldn't you do a square shaped mirror instead?

>>2597925
sounds cool, but you'd have to overhaul a lot of levels to make them stealthable
(adding a grappling hook would be cool)

>>2597935
Eh, I thought about that, but again I'd have to redo it, plus I don't have a square one laying around to use and the gold round one just looks classier to me. Maybe I'm just overthinking an unimportant detail.

Anyone else have a really bad screen flicker whenever they first start up prboomb plus? I can't figure out how to get rid of it and its ruining all my lmps

I'm flipping through Romero's Doom development dump, and I came across this image.

Its hilarious to think the Demon we all know and love was modeled after a toy that looks like Rex from Toy Story.

That's just Plutonia.
But if you can beat Episode 4 of Ultimate Doom, Plutonia shouldn't be terrible for you.

How are people having trouble with this? The switch in map02 activates the visual cues. I understood this when I first had Final Doom back when I was 12.

So guys, I've been thinking about making a gameplay mod where you play as Barney. It would be melee oriented but you do have a meter that when filled, would give something akin to a Metsu-Hadouken. Before I get started, I would like your input on this concept.

>>2598694
Barney? In 2015?

>>2598694
>Before I get started, I would like your input on this concept.

What fucking concept? "Play as Barney" is so little information. Hell, even "melee oriented with meters and hadoukens" doesn't add anything.
Make it, and then post it.

>>2598694
I'd rather have a melee mod where you play as a bear. I'd rather have more bear related stuff for video games in general.

So what's Doom mapping like? I'm a Half-Life guy and I want to know if it's closer to goldsource Valve Hammer Editor or Unreal Editor.

>>2598712
hahaha i thought >>2598694 was a mutation of the "is there a mod where you play as a bear" post

>>2598715
I didn't even know people would remember that. I made that post as a joke almost two years ago.

>>2598720
i think it was reposted a bunch of times? i don't know, can't remember. either way, it was the first thing the barney post made me think of. oh well.

>>2598727
Ah I wouldn't know that if it happened because I kinda drift in and out of this general every few months.

>>2598694
Sounds like a '95 graphics mod.

>>2598714

>and I want to know if it's closer to goldsource Valve Hammer Editor or Unreal Editor.

It's simpler. Far, far simpler

You just draw lines, adjust the height of the ceiling, add monsters and textures and you're set.

Any Wolfenstein fans here?
Looking to get my hands on the Mac Family Wolf 3D assets.
I want play Mac Wolf on ECWolf, the forums speak at a way but it requires the a Mac copy Wolfenstein 3D which is a hassle to find.

Anyone run into this struggle or know anything about doing this?

>>2598743
There is a total conversion called Macenstein 3D SDL. But its for Wolf4SDL; it doesn't work in ECWolf.

>>2598746
good enough for me
I'll look into it thanks

>>2598743
I noticed just now that's the Doom pistol BJ'S holding in the snapshot.

>>2598752
Yeah, the jaguar version uses some Doom sprites

>>2598747
The mod is split up into "Encounters", as Mac Wolf3D came with some extra Episodes/Levels, iirc. http://www.wolfensteingoodies.com/wolfenstein3dmodsatoz/list-m/tc/MacSDL203.zip

>>2598743
I love Wolf 3D. Lately been playing the Genesis homebrew port which is actually really fucking good.

>>2598739
For whatever reason I find it easier to use Hammer's concept of building a world out of boxes, and then retroactively remove sides by applying a null texture. There's something about boxes being modular so you can slide them around, and they fit into the grid.

I want to keep mapping for Half-Life, but I like the idea that Doom is ported to everything.

>>2597793
Awesome, got the HUD numbers working!

Now I just need to space out the labels. Already replaced Shield with Keys, but hadn't replaced the STBAR graphic yet.

>>2598771
not the guy you are replying to, but some other Hammer user.
Doombuilder allows a very fast start on map, you can make a labirynth with some fancy crusing ceiling parts in less than 5 minutes, while in hammer it would take around 30 minutes if not more. you can make your maps VERY fast, but the hard part is making them good. which is part of the reason why so many people focus on making their maps pretty, and they play like shit later.
if you read posts of people talking about maps here, you will learn things they hate, such as overdetailing, getting stuck on some geometry etc.

>>2598790
As I understand it, Doom wads have everything packed in, from custom huds, to custom weapons, to sounds? Unlike Half-Life bsps which can only embed textures. Does it require programming knowledge to make custom weapons in Doom? It doesn't necessarily need to be a brand new weapon. The best way is to clone the best suitable weapon, then modify refire rate, damage values, sprites, ammo counts. Can I do that easily?

>>2597598
bumpin'

sounds fucking awesome

>>2598792
you can make your very own weapon with DECORATE, which is its own scripting language
http://zdoom.org/wiki/DECORATE
it also allows you to make monsters, items and other cool shit.

Doom WAD format is different from Half Life WAD format, while Half Life uses it for textures, Doom uses it for EVERYTHING. a closer thing to it is current .vpk format used by Source engine.

if you wanna really try doom mapping, just download doom builder, and make a simple map with like 30 monsters and maybe two secrets, then post it here, we will be able to point out what you did right and what was bad.

I think tnt evilution is better than plutonia

>>2598792
There's IWad files that contain everything in an entire game except the engine, and PWads which add to or override IWads. A map can be a wad file with just the level geometry and pointers to textures contained in for example the standard doom2.wad, or it can contain a texture set of it's own. The wad isn't the actual map, it's the cointainer for it.

But many modern wads use pk3's instead of wads, which are renamed zip files with normal folder structure instead of pointer files.

>>2598812
I agree.

>>2598814
>But many modern wads
sorry I mean "mods" not wads

Modding is fun. That sense of accomplishment.
Not done, but the status bar is now usable.

Trying to think of how to represent the keys best.

No wonder id scrapped this status bar. Its cluttered and the number 1 looks weird due to the numbers being right aligned. Maybe if their was a faint outline of an 8 behind it, kind of like an LED alarm clock? Any thoughts?

>>2598812
I prefer Plutonia's more intense gameplay, but TNT is still pretty awesome.

Hi.
Played shareware doom a lot when kid, seen some donequick videos, so a bit nostalgic.

If i want to play all dooms, which ones should i play? I'm confused by the ultimate final tnt dooms and the brutal chocolate gzdoom mods...

>>2598827
Ultimate Doom is original Doom with extra 4th episode.
then there is Doom 2
Plutonia and TNT are community made megawads turned commercial, they came with Final Doom
Brutal Doom is a mod that causes shitstorm over here every time its mentioned, and you should not play it.
Chocolate doom is a sourceport, you need sourceports to play doom on modern systems, chocolate is one of them and its purpose is to make doom emulation as close to original game as possible, its great for playing first time.
GZdoom is another sourceport that does all this fancy graphical effects, you use it mostly to play mods.

my advice, get chocolate doom, and then play Ultimate doom, Doom 2, and then expansions

>>2598823
my biggest gripe with plutonia is every time you pick up an item, a door opens up behind you full of enemies

tnt does it too a few times, but with plutonia it happens way too often

>>2598827
The Ultimate Doom is the full first game with an additinal fourth episode. Doom 2 is just that. The Final Doom are two fan-made campaigns for Doom 2 that were released commercially together, with some custom textures and music. They're generally the hardest of the bunch.

Start out playing the first three episodes of Ultimate Doom (episode 1 is the shareware one, and the best by far), then either episode 4 or just play Doom 2 before that. Use the Chocolate Doom for an authentic experience or GZDoom for all the modern bells and whistles.

>>2598832
Thanks a lot.

>>2598839

I really love wolfenstein, I also enjoy Rise of the Triad

pic related, it´s Return of the Triad, aka a GZDoom port

Jesus christ, I fucking love Realms of the Haunting. I want my doom mod to look like this game. The texture work in here is simply gorgeous. Also makes me wonder how that point and click doom mod is coming along.
>>2598883
Return of the triad is more of a fan sequel than a port. The levels are all new. It did kinda bug me that they never fixed the gender detection, aka my favorite character Lorelei Ni still hears "Shoot him!", but that's my only real nitpick with it.

>>2598812
I don't.

>>2598903
>Also makes me wonder how that point and click doom mod is coming along.
Working on it as we speak. Got all the point-and-clicky stuff mostly worked out, the dialogue system is where the majority of the work left lies.

I really need to play RotH myself, it looks amazing.

>>2598918
I always wondered why they wore blue.

Was it a technical limitation? or were Id just that dumb?

I have never heard of an SS wearing blue, they mostly wore black if i'm not mistaken.

>>2598950
To make them stand out in a limited palette, and to make the game colorful.

>>2598956
Oh that makes sense then.

I do enjoy me some color but given the pallette they chose for the walls and other such things a sort of greyish black would have worked just as well.

Hell I'd argue given the palette that their blue uniforms make them stand out even less.

>>2598959
Well I kind of agree, but look at Commander Keen's visual style - that's what they were doing before wolf3d. My guess is tom hall isn't exactly an accomplished artist. Doom brought with it not only much more advanced tech, but overall much higher art and design quality too.

>>2598950
>>2598959
SS uniforms pre-1932 are brown.
In 1935, certain SS positions, such as administration of the concentration camps, had grey-green or brown/khaki uniforms, in addition to the black.

But yes, black is what was most common, especially in public.

>>2598971
Twas why I said "Mostly".

I knew about the grey too.

Not the brown or khakit though, so I guess I learned something new.

>>2598969
>Tom Hall wasn't an accomplished artist.

Or and accomplished anything.

Plutonia was intended for players who find Doom 2 too easy on UV, and want something more difficult. That is why its full of traps like that.

TNT, however, follows a similar difficulty progression to Doom 2, only slightly harder.

I swear to god I predicted Dark Doom years before it happened.

When I was a kid I had nightmares of Doom where it was dark and you needed a flashlight to see.

all the monsters looked sorta like their 64 counterparts but a bit more like their doom counterparts...the best way I can describe them were real-life sort of...paintings, models. i don't fucking know. of what they would look like in real life.

Playing dark doom unfortunately reminds me of these horrifying nightmares.
I love it.


Y'know i'm curious now, was anyone else here scared by doom as a kid? did you have nightmares? was it something in particular or were you just scared to be scared?

Me personally I was just scared to be scared, then again it may have also been the dark portions of the map, Those close quarters with the disturbing monsters. Seems likely given my nightmares were darkness based.

>>2599124
Doom never scared me. I did get stuck on the Chasm as a kid for so long that I started having dreams about completing it and getting to the next map, though.

How do you get the plasmagun in Valiant's map 2?
Youtube isn't helping

>>2599085
was Barney actually in Carmageddon??

>>2599128
>Chasm

Why is it whenever I look up a map that absolutely pissed me off in Doom and Doom 2 it's always from Sandy Peterson?

>>2599135
Nop.

>>2599124
Doom scared me when I played it at first, I think I was 8 the first time. Not like a scared where I would cry and run to my parents but like "oh shit wtf is going on".
I did have Doom dreams, although much more recently in life, where the actors are all 2D spritey looking while everything else looks like 3D blocks. This was also around the time where I figured out how to see 2D objects in real life when I was high so maybe its because of that.

>>2599138
Seems like something Stainless would do. But yes fuck Barney, something about him just ticks me off. Maybe its because I didnt grow up with him as a kid.

>>2599130
Nevermind, got it. Not sure if I completely know how I caused it, but still.


Also, I'm trying to do my first map playthrough without saving at all. Not ready for pistol starts yet but this seemed like a decent compromise.
>>2599124
Didn't play as much as a kid, but no.

Got into Doom again as an adult, and there was one instance where I woke up because I was sure I'd heard a Spectre's growl, if that counts.

>>2598694
I think there's a player skin for Icon of Party that makes you Barney, although it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way of course. It sounds like the kind of idea that could either turn out pretty cool or pretty lame.

>>2599124
Played it with dad when I was 4 or 5 years old. "Kill daddy, kill!" I'd apparently say, or urge him to use the chainsaw or the "blue shooting gun. I was too young to be immersed in the game, it was all just cartoons to me so I never got scared or even bothered.

Now the death scenes in Amazon: Guardians of Eden scared the shit out of me. They were all preceded by a warning message and a klaxon blare which unsettled me almost as much as the images themselves.

>>2598474

>>2599239
>we
/vr/ or any other boards on 4chan are not a single person.
brutal doom is flawed and is disliked for many reasons, its creator is probably biggest reason.
regardless, if you enjoy it, thats your business, but general unspoken rule is to not speak about brutal doom since it will only result in shitposting.

>>2599239
I don't think many people here hate it, they just lash out on it as a knee jerk reaction because Sgt Mark is kind of a cunt and Brutal Doom is discussed nearly everywhere else so they'd rather not have these generals be filled with it too.

Shat my pants and ran away crying when i was 3.

>>2599259
See this shit nigga, do you see that motherfucker? I hate it most when a game acts like to be a shitty jrpg wannabe. No fuck that.

>>2599252
I've played through about half of it. The level design is shit but otherwise it's cool for a 1-month project.

>>2599254
He's a cocky self-righteous cunt essentially.

Even told someone who was going through hard times to kill themselves and even linked a suicide guide.

Most of the hate comes form how he essentially talks down to everyone he's been reported to speaking too including his own team and thinks he's all that and a bag of chips because he "Devoted his time to a love labor" naturally he's assblasted over the new doom seemingly being inspired by brutal doom.

All in all he's a tard.

Doom is probably the only game I've managed to never get burnt out of. And I've been playing since 1997.

>>2599124
Scared the hell out of me when I was lil. I don't think I even completed the shareware episode cause I was too jumpy and honestly games didn't hold my interest much back then. Still spooks me occasionally today when a pinkie somehow sneaks up on me.

There's an arcade mode you can play that removes all the dialogue so you never have to see any dumb anime mugs. Might make things a bit confusing towards the end if you do it for your first playthrough, though.

>>2599287
It all comes down to carmack making the game moddable on purpose at first and releasing the source code later on.

>People kept telling me learning Decorate was easy

>>2599379

It is pretty easy.
It's also pretty easy to overlook simple stuff.

What've you got?

>>2599379
come the fuck on lad
its really easy

>>2599379
>custom sprites
I bet you either didn't put them in the /sprites folder or named them correctly according to the strict sprite naming conventions.

If changing it's firing etc. states doesn't work you need to provide a screencap of it.

Here's what I've got.
Still trying to make the Darkclaw.
Here's the code, and it's sprites.
It's currently using Plasma as projectiles, and ammo, until I get in something new.
I can type "summon DarkClaw", but nothing will happen in-game. No errors either, just nothing.

>>2599402

Yeah, it's really easy to overlook stuff. What you've got in this case is a lack of S_START and S_END markers around the sprites.
I would suggest trying out with .pk3s instead of .wads, in that case all you need to do is make a sprites/ folder and cram the sprites in there.

>>2599402
There's no reason to use WAD format for a Decorate mod. Anything that supports Decorate will also support PK3 format, which is much easier to work with for those not already familiar with WADs.

>Tfw been dragging and dropping .pk3's over to gzdoom to start mods for years

>Tfw only just discovered changing the file extension from .pk3 to .wad and placing it in the skins folder autoloads it whenever starting gzdoom.

>>2599423

DO NOT DO THIS.
EVER.

>>2599426
I don't understand, why not?

>>2599402
http://zdoom.org/wiki/Using_ZIPs_as_WAD_replacement
Use the pk3 format instead of wad, it's much more convenient.

You neglected to put the s_start and s_end pointers for sprites in your wad just fyi, but in pk3 format you don't have to worry. Also all but "CLAWA0" have incorrect names.

>>2599423
jesus christ just use ZDL

>>2599430
Thanks everyone, I'll try this stuff out.
Also, I knew I needed to rename the sprites, just had re-imported them and forgot to do it for the screenie.

Issue now is, I can't pick 'em up.
I walk over it, and it just remains there, almost as if it's just a decoration.

>>2599468

Did you rename the sprites to their proper format?
(Yes, that actually matters)

>>2599472
Pretty sure I have

>>2599423
Umm im not sure why everyone is so assblasted over this.

it works fine, what's so fucking wrong about it? Is this general really that autistic?

>>2599481
Nevermind.
Just saw my huge mistake right there as I posted it.
I had renamed the sprites, and forgot to rename them in the DECORATE file.
Lemme try and fix that.

Oh, you're just trying to get our goat! Very well played, anon.

>>2599486
Maybe you could actually take the time to explain why it's bad instead of being a douche.

>>2599429

Scenario 1: (mild)

You put wad_x in your skins folder.
You get so used to it being there you forget about it.
Some time later you try out a new thing named mod_y. It breaks, so you go to the author and report "it's broken".
The author is totally confused as he cannot reproduce your report.
After a few back and forths of increasing frustration it is realised by either you or the author of mod_y that the reason it broke was because it has some clashing definition with wad_x.
This happens a few more times, after which mod_y author writes a FAQ which nobody reads. misreporting continues, mod_y author eventually gets very tired, and stops modding.

Scenario 2: (a worse case, which can develop from scenario 1)

You put wad_x in your skins folder.
You think it's the best thing ever and never take it out. You can't play anything without it.
Some time later you try out a new thing named mod_y. It breaks, so you go to the author and report "it's broken".
The author is totally confused as he cannot reproduce your report, but eventually realises what's going on and says "yes, it doesn't work with wad_x"
You whine about this loudly and in public. "mod_y is shit, it doesn't work with wad_x"
This happens a lot of times. If mod_y's author doesn't rage-quit modding completely, he starts adding tests to mod_y and anything else he makes to detect wad_x and "engage Terry mode" if found.

>>2599486
>HAH HAH HAH
I don't get what you mean.

If you're implying they cease functioning or something what operating system are you using? are you also sure you put it as .wad and nothing else?

>Oh, you're just trying to get our goat! Very well played, anon.

Excuse me?

>>2599493
Scenario 0: (everyone)

You remember you put your mods in the skins folder and to not try and mix mods together like a retard.
You have a brain between your ears.

I do not understand what's wrong with it. Obviously zdl is far better, but it's not an awful disaster.

>>2599510
>but it's not an awful disaster.

Yes it is. It is a terrible practice that needs to be stopped. It "works" in the same vein as using Mibbit as a chat client or using a paper cutter to carve up a turkey--it functions, yes, but it's bad and you know there's fucking better ways to do it. Do it properly.

>>2599512

Literally who? I'm not that guy. Like >>2599516 said, the image comes with the image pack in the OP, and I used it. Since when does using the same reaction image as someone else automatically make you that person?

Some anon made a much bigger one once, but it never made it to the OP I think.

Awesome, I've got the weapon working fine in-game.
I just need one last thing.
I've been following the advice from last night so that the weapon takes the player's health.
However, it seems that this doesn't work whatsoever.
It doesn't crash, or create any errors, it just simply doesn't work.

>>2599554

That should work. If it's not, that's probably indicative of another problem.
Regardless, try DamageThing(5) instead of A_TakeInventory("Health",5).

>>2599554
i think you might want this instead.

What happens is that "not liking anime" is a well known trait and a setup post for one (of many asshats) to start shitposting against our threads.

It has to do with Demonsteele which features an artstyle that barely resembles anything animey but it's enough for people to throw a fit.

Judging your reaction you're clearly not that guy.

>>2599704
>I love this meme
>a couple people suggesting an answer I don't like is a meme

If you post with yugioh reaction images, I'm concluding you're the same person as before; especially if they're the same name as before.

I'm down for another /vr/ mapping thing, and I see some other people are too. Is anyone else interested in doing another /vr/ project? If so, any ideas for theme/challenge/parameters?

I thought about doing levels from other retro games, but that might be a bit of a step up for some mappers (even though it'd only have to loosely be like the retro level), OR we could do something where we take the level we hate the most and then remake it into something that's fun?

These are just ideas I'm spitballing. If anyone else is interested/has ideas then post em up.

Or you could just get good.

gzdoom (on linux) crashes when using mods such as blood droplets or brutal doom.

both crashes happen as soon as I hit an enemy.

Is there a log I can read to see what's causing this? Is it even possible to fix it?

>>2599737

Is it a shut down crash, or is it a freezing crash?
If it's the latter, it might be interpreting a loop wrong and causing it to loop infinitely.

>>2599124
I have memories of being scared of Duke 3D when I was 3 or 4 or something. Of course, I was playing it religiously by the time I was in first grade (with parental lock and cheats on).
I was also scared of Mechwarrior 2 because of the narration voice and the loud mechanical noises in the menus. I also recall being scared by the alarm klaxon that played when a critical was hit. Wish I could play it still, the version I played was bundled with the computer I played it on and the BIOS on it died a few years ago.

For the level 5 boss, I just sat in a corner, looked at the shadows coming, and unloaded the green bow shotgun in his face as soon as he popped up. But that level 6 boss is one hell of a bitch.

>>2599726
How the fuck do I beat the level 6 boss, every time I manage to stay alive long the bitch suddently teleports behind me and instagibs me with 600000 arrows at point blank range. Circle strafing doesn't help at all.

>>2599742
I did much of the same with the cursed rifle. But since the boss can one shot you (in hard mode at least) missing him even once can turn out to be fatal. That really made the fight super tense.

Also, I still have no idea what triggers the final boss to eat you up. I pretty much beat him entirely thanks to dumb luck.

>>2599742
Yeah I didn't even take damage from the 5th boss, I killed him with my based mosin as soon as he showed his ugly mug

Homing arrows out the ass. When your magic's gone, run around collecting pickups while shooting her with the rifle. Rinse and repeat until the sex scene.

Well I begin the fight with like 10% mana for starters
>When your magic's gone, run around collecting pickups while shooting her with the rifle.
I've been running around rifling her then using homing arrows to kill the critters for health/mana/ammo, but she always manages to gib me when I do. Feels like complete chance.

All the weapons feel pretty great really. Their graphical effects and audio are top notch.

The 'grenades' (..salt crystals?) don't feel like they fit at all really though, either in theme or gameplay.
