FUND IT

What are some mappacks that play well with Metroid Dreadnought ?

>>2602112
Back To Saturn X goes pretty well with it, especially episode 2.

>>2602093
gotta save characters, my man.

Had an idea for fleshing out for a potential demonic shotgun weapon to submit for yholl's consideration. Potentially a form of "Demonic Wildlife"? Sort of eldritch/insect in design with blatant demonic nature primarily in it's design. The weapon would, when in hand, be mainly composed of aimlessly biting smaller mouths and a series of deep "pit" glowing eyes on either side, whilst a major main "eye" on the front stares at the player. Creature behavior is to be decided, although it shouldn't be a major "enemy" unless the player -really- wants it.

>>2602137
Fairly sure yholl's up to the neck with work already.
Being an idea guy doesn't help. You should program a prototype yourself

We still don't have a solid theme for the next /vr/ community wad. Suggestions so far:
>Different countries/cities/monuments
>SKELETONS! lame
>Retro videogame levels
>Remaking maps we hate into something we love

I like the remaking hated maps into loved maps and the one about doing different countries. Anyone else down with some of these or have other suggestions? I hope we can reach a consensus by the end of the thread; hopefully before.

>>2601945
The P38 would have made much more sense in the later years of the war, especially for average personnel, in the later years the Luger was more typically showing up in the holsters of higher ranking officers as they were viewed as having more 'status' to them.

The Luger would eventually become more visible in media tough as it has a more iconic look, style, and name to it. It's more recognizable.

>>2602149
That's why it's a concept. It's nowhere near ready yet, and I lack the skills to do as such. Not asking for any form of credit. Everything is subject to change and that's also why everyone in here has their say in it.

A community-made weapon to be put into a mod.

>>2602158
The thing is it's actually fairly easy to make your own weapon. The only hard part is making all the sprites for the weapon.

Most of your idea post can be made in an afternoon, and that's with zero experience in decorate, which is why the other anon said to make a prototype. Even if you were to make a brand new weapon, with no inheritance, it'd still be as simple as copy-pasting and then re-doing the parts to make the gun do what you want it to do.

Think of it this way: there's a lot of people here working on their own stuff. Most of it takes up their free time inbetween balancing other things, so for your weapon to see any light you'd need to do some of it yourself.

Can anyone else who played Nocturne in Yellow tell their opinions about it? Finished it today and was left satisfied with it, although last level visuals were migraine inducing and bow power ups could be tweaked a bit, otherwise it was a pretty fun ride, as a slav I feel kinda glad to see the use of slavic folklore ( especially how bro the domovoi was ) although it would be nice to know what creatures were used as an inspiration for the enemies, while zombie looking Upyr and Vodyanoi were pretty easy to guess the rest is kinda confusing, especially one eyed black spiders. As it is I really enjoyed it and sincerely hope that Term won't drop this and at some point will continue working on this mod.

Looking for a megawads to play with Shut up and Bleed. Something with a dark atmosphere and ambient soundtrack. Any advice?

>>2602165
Well, first of all we need to find out the question of if the weapon can also be a monster.

Maybe we should have a "So you want to make a fucking WAD?" guide that covers some of the basics and shows you the mucking around of some basic stuff (like, for instance, making a pistol that fires fireballs in a SSG-like spread and what variables to fuck around with and shit, then showing off something a little more fancy and how that was made (but not going in-depth about it). basically i'm a fucking idiot who needs a visual explanation too.

>>2602170
not bad for a month's work.
there's some really glaring issues though so I hope they pick it up later down the line. the maps are especially the weakest point imo but the bow and spear are sick as shit to use. the enemies are really neat, the bosses are king of spongey, especially on higher diffs

according to the pk3, the enemies used were the nezhit (zombie dudes), likho (one eye spider), bauk (shadow dog), nocnitsa (screaming ghost), ala (female head ice spirit thing), vodyanoy (frogman), drekavac (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA), upyr (vampire with gun), morena (death lady), zmey gorynych (three-headed dragon), domovoi (oven monster), and koschei the deathless (dick-ass wizard)

the king in yellow and yog-sothoth are also in, but aren't from slavlore. interestingly enough, there's also two files in but unfilled, for "ovinnik" and "hound"

>>2602156
Retro video game levels. I was actually going to make some Berserk sprites that rotate and it would be rad to have something to use them in.

>>2602195
>I was actually going to make some Berserk sprites
Berzerk inspired wad sounds pretty radical.

>>2602195
CHICKEN, FIGHT LIKE A ROBOT
THE HUMANOID MUST NOT ESCAPE

>>2602207
I actually wanted to make a whole series of wads based on every generation of console, starting with second gen, so it would be all atari, colecovision, and intellivision monsters and level themes. I'll probably end up just making the sprites though, my levels never get finished.

>>2602156
that picture is gross

>>2602175
demons of the problematique

>>2602156
Could just say fuck it and do speedmaps again. 202 minutes or something silly like that.

>>2602175
The mod actually works well with PSXDoom TC.

>>2602289
This doesn't work with stuff that replaces items very well.

A lot of scripts break.

>playing Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony
>second mission: Rescue captured Pvt. James Ryan in France
>Saving Private Ryan

Okay.

What do you guys think of the mod?
Pretty buggy, but it is still a WIP.
Hate the base camp after every mission, having to wait for briefing, but I'm impatient.

IMO, would've been better if it were just released as a mission pack for ww-nazis-v2.

The maps themselves are awesome, though.

>>2602386
>Buggy
Maybe i'm not that experimentive but I never ecountered any bugs or if I did they weren't noticeable.

The only real thing i'd call a bug is by the way this is a warning.

See this scubagear pickup? DO NOT TAKE IT. it's broken when you do this happens, your screen is just totally blue.

>>2602386
I fucking love the base camp. It's amazing.

Honestly I only miss a little personality during the levels, I'd like to overhear nazis talking (as text subtitles maybe), have the option to read documents for flavor deus ex style and little bits like that. Also I think the cartoony wolf3d sprite art style fits weirdly in nice and detailed maps like this, bosses in particular.

>>2602386
I feel the level design is pretty but kind of poor in telling you where to go.
I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out where to go in the first level because I didn't know that fire extinguishers blew up portions of the level like Duke 3D. I also spent about half an hour on the level where you had to blow up artillery, just because I couldn't find the last cannon, but I may just be retarded.

It's still a very good mod, though.

>>2602424
This.

All I can say is I like the idea of no hand-holding but there needs to be atleast SOME kind of indication of where to go.

Maybe not as far as waypoints but atleast some kind of indication of where to fucking go.

>>2602410
>See this scubagear pickup? DO NOT TAKE IT. it's broken when you do this happens, your screen is just totally blue.
Fucking finally, I thought I was the only one. Can I get rid of the fucker with a ccmd or do I have to restart the level?

>>2602386
It's pretty fun and very engrossing, can't wait to see the finished product

>>2602440
Sorry. you're fucked bro.

I had the luxury of having saved m =y game before taking it so i just reloaded.

And shit like this is why i save scum.

>>2602493
What specifically causes the blue shit anyway?

Hey guys. I'm looking for a very specific Doom mod. It was trying to do the dark and spooky shit of Doom 3 in the style of Doom and Doom 2, but I can't remember the name for the life of me. I remember it featured lots of spooky sigils and shit.

Yo guys, I'm playing the Plutonia Experiment on my virgin playthrough, UV right off the bat and with no saving during the level. I die like 4-5 times per level on average, already at Map 10.

I'm curious, can you actually beat the "haha not really the exit lol" segment in Map 9: Abattoire without hogging and snagging the Invulnerability from the Revenant/Imp room beforehand?

>>2602519

Legacy of Suffering?

>>2602536
That would be it. Many thanks.

>>2602526
>already at Map 10.
oh ho ho, you're in for a treat after this one

>>2602557
Oh, I can imagine, I managed to lose the Cyberdemon battle in Baron's Lair four times - and start off the level from scratch like that. I have all the patience - and agility - of a roguelike player. This will be fun.

>>2602156

>skeletons
>lame

Take that back. Fleshie

>>2602567
>agility of a roguelike player

>>2602717
That was the joke, I'm assuming.

>>2602509
I'm not a mapper so all I can say.

It's a shitty broken custom powerup.

Man the mission packs were ass, but they atleast had more proper Schutzstaffel designs.

>>2602781
What map is that? Has kind of a Blake Stone vibe to it.

>>2602784
it is map 16 of return to danger.

One of the spear of destiny mission packs, specifically the one where you fight "The Axe" boss, the guy with the skull mask.

What are the best Wolfenstein or Wolfenstein-inspired mods?

Mini poll: Do you use 640x480 ratio or 640x400 ratio?

>>2602840
Las Rojas' WolfenDoom (Rerelease: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=48518))
WildWeasel's Nazi's V2 (gameplay, no maps. Recommended to play alongside Epic 2)
Brutal Wolfenstein (not by SgtMarkIV)

And of course the Wolfenstein TC, which includes all the Spear of Destiny missions(http://www.afadoomer.com/wolf3d/about.html))

>>2602846
I only use 640x480 when im using a 4:3 display or when I need to play in that aspect ratio to test something.

Otherwise, 640x400. My main desktop monitor is a 16:10 display. 640x400 is a 16:10 resolution.

If I'm playing on my TV, which is 16:9, I'm playing in 1920x1080, letter/pillarboxed if I really have to.

>>2602846
640x400 at 4:3. Doom looks wrong without the non-square pixel ratio.

>>2602857
>640x400 at 4:3
What does this mean? 640x400 is not 4:3.

>>2602853
You know running 640x400 on a 16:10 display will use square pixels and squash everything, right? Doom was designed with non-square pixels. It's meant to be 640x400 stretched to a 4:3 (640x480) screen.

To each their own, but figured I'd let you know.

>>2602860
back in the 90's, it was used on 4:3 VGA monitors. Likewise with 320x200. This is why aspect ratio correction is even a thing with doom...

Gettin' this error when trying to play Hideous Destructor, gib helb plz

>>2602926
You need a later version of GZDoom. Sorry, but if your graphics card ain't up to par for it, no HD for you. I can't remember the last version that supported 1.8.10, but that's your only bet in that case.

http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/

>>2602930
well it said it needed 1.8.02, which is what I've got. Anyway, downloaded a newest from that link and it seems to work, thanks anon, dunno why it's not working with the stable version.

>>2602934
>dunno why it's not working with the stable version.

because it has been explicitly designed to NOT work on stable versions.

I really wonder how did you got HD because the zdoom thread made for it has "GET THE NEWEST GZDOOM FIRST BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT FAILURE TO START" as the first line in the OP

...you grabbed it from the moddb page, right?

So I just played Nocturne in Yellow, and got to the end. What the fuck is with the last boss? Can't shoot it. Shot the fuck out of it's eyes, nothing doing... Got teleported to a red room that kills me. Hopped on the platform with the big purple whatever-the-fuck-it-is, and sat there til I got bored and jumped off to die.

Game was pretty fun up until that point though.

>>2602108

I would, but is it even possible for ACS scripting to sneak out of the game environment itself?

I also have two maps (super inexperienced mapper here; one is the second level for a zDoom duo, and the other is a vanilla speedmap attempt) I need to finish first.

>>2603075
Shoot the thing in the red room, rinse and repeat.

>>2603079
I shot the hell out of it. My arrows just flew through it.

>>2603087

You either missed or didn't shoot it enough.

>>2603096
... Alright. Either way it's kinda a weak boss. The mage was a fun fight, and so was Death... White fireplace guy probably would've been more fun if he weren't stuck in a fireplace. Either way it's damn decent for a months work.

>>2603103

It's kind of a disappointing final boss, yeah, which is weird considering how strong and crazy MAP07 was before then. Maybe a deadline crunch?
Whatever, yeah, it's decent for a month's work, but I really hope these guys pick it up again and polish up some of the rougher bits.

>>2603105
>>2603096
Nah. I just tried again and there's no way I'm not hitting it enough. Grenades just sank into it like a black hole. Homing arrows circle around infinitely and never hit it. I just can't hit it.

Back from clearing Plutonia and TNT back again for the 5th time today and I just noticed how lackluster and underwhelming both MAP30s played out compared to the rest of the levels.

TNT's was actually kinda memorable in some areas, but that's about it. Fuck that insta-death platforming at the very beginning though. Can't really say why, but I'd say Plutonia still doesn't quite click on me like TNT does.i think the ost might have something to do with it

>>2603165
>insta-death platforming
*terribly shoehorned platforming section. Fuck.

>>2603165
I actually prefer the boss shooter layout in Plutonia over TNT's. Plutonia made it challenging by throwing a Cyberdemon in the mix, where as TNT's was piss easy as long as you knew which step to stand on.

Though I do like that TNT's was a proper level before the boss shooter. I actually liked the platform maze, and even have it memorised.

>>2603134
You have to kill the eyes when they're very close to the boss. You only have to kill like one.

Then you get teleported ton the dimension of pain and assfucking where you have to reach the middle and hurt the thing directly. Rinse and repeat, easier than Death by far if you figure out the eye thing.

>>2603217
>Final boss easier than Death
>Death being the second final boss
Oh Terminus...

>>2603246
But the only way to figure out how to kill the final boss is by chance and repetition or by looking through it's decorate..

Death was a hard but fair fight though.

>>2603105

Yeah, this is correct. The final boss was made, like, two days before the end deadline.

>>2603217
>>2603246
>>2603257

I agree, it's not really a good boss.
The aim I was going for was a boss that you can't defeat by conventional means--you can't just sink attack after attack into it, you have to go deeper inside and find an opportunity which ended up being sinking attacks into it MAN I'M SMART to emphasize the otherworldly nature.
It didn't work well.

If we do pick this up again, the bosses will probably be the first thing I adjust.

Huh. So theres a midi in BTSX E2 that was actually was used in Interception before E2 was even released.

And all this time I thought every Midi was new to BTSX.

>>2603278
>If we do pick this up again, the bosses will probably be the first thing I adjust.
Paradoxically the bossfights are the best thing about it. If I were you I'd have cut everything that /isn't/ a bossfight, and instead made every fight more dynamic with several stages and minion spawns and whatnot, and perhaps more exploration/flavour/etc inbetween them. Keeping in mind the 1 hour play time required by judges with this suggestion mind you.

>The aim I was going for was a boss that you can't defeat by conventional means
It's an amiable goal, but I've rarely if ever seen it done well really.

>>2603307
>amiable
itym admirable

>>2602386
>second mission: Rescue captured Pvt. James Ryan in France
>Saving Private Ryan

>Okay.

T667 has no sense of subtlety.

>>2603307
>Keeping in mind the 1 hour play time required by judges with this suggestion mind you.

If we pick this up again in the future, we can safely disregard the one-hour playtime and basically can go all out.
I think we can use this to our advantage especially in regards to maps, spreading them out a little more and making them a little more intricate.

Multi-stage bosses would be the shit, though, so I'd be down with that.

>>2603328
yes.

>>2603345
I think super-intricate boss fights and "talking about feelings" in between them could work out well, like Shadow of the Colossus. Would make for an interesting arcade mode too.
>If we pick this up again in the future, we can safely disregard the one-hour playtime and basically can go all out.
Yes of course. But discussing in relation to the constraints of the contest is interesting because it relates to the limitations in time and resources of "real" commercial game development.

>>2602846
4:3, with 5:6 pixels

>>2602557
the archvile maze is not difficult. you basically just camp corners. there are no other monsters around so you only need focus on defending against one kind of attack.

it's very tense though since you don't know when the next one is going to appear (and they are usually in pairs). it's a relief when you actually see a monster.

at least they didn't disable the automap. automap-invisible mazes instantly make for "the worst map ever" award.

>>2602567
did you notice a conspicuous lack of something in that map? :)

Heh.

>>2602526
>I'm curious, can you actually beat the "haha not really the exit lol" segment in Map 9: Abattoire without hogging and snagging the Invulnerability from the Revenant/Imp room beforehand?
yes, with luck. i will try to record this.

however, you might as well save it, it's not needed in the room it's placed in. however you waste half of it getting it out of the area and to the teleporter so it is of limited usefulness. i find the partial invisibility more important to stop myself being perforated by the far row of chaingunners opposite the real exit.

>>2603386
>automap-invisible mazes instantly make for "the worst map ever" award.

I remember the megawad Cleimos 2 was among the worst offenders in this regard.

>>2603446
yes, i remember making liberal use of iddt there.

>>2603415

what the fuck is that

>>2603469
Things and stuff.

>>2603473
is it the black goat of the woods?

>>2602526
>>2603423 (me)
>i will try to record this
all right here we go.

http://a.uguu.se/uvbwdh_pl09-516.lmp

this isn't a full max run. you didn't say if you were going for 100%, so i skipped several rooms of monsters, including the imp/revenant teleporter (which can be totally avoided if you stay quiet at the right time), and the exit antechamber.

the latter is more annoying with invis, but as i stated before i find the invis essential for not getting perforated by the chaingunner array. however i took the time to clear out the exit ring with plasma spam. this is probably key: save as much plasma for the end of the map as you can. rockets tend toward self-harm and the ssg is too slow / doesn't do enough damage at the ranges you will want to use it.

sadly you can't reopen the door to the antechamber. or reuse the teleporter. i guess the author decided the map wasn't hard enough and stuck that bit on the end as a quick afterthought, never bothering to consider the possibility to backtrack.

also, that teleporting cacodemon corpse didn't half make me jump, i thought it was alive. and the humorous moment where i turn round in an alcove and get smacked by a cloud of homing missiles, not sure how i survived that.

How do you guys identify Terry modifications?

>>2603489
>is it the black goat of the woods?
i thought it was the whomping willow

>>2603495
By reading the comments about it.

>>2603495

If it's on idgames, it'll always be in /terrywads/ section.
If you open up the wad, it'll always have crazy bullshit in it, most frequently SOMEMONG or variations of it.
If you listen to the comments around it, it'll be a lot of people deriding it as shit and a few nerds thinking they're clever talking about how it's the greatest.

>>2603495
don't answer this, he's making a terrywad that will obfuscate the common signs and be harder to spot

>>2603504

Why, do you know him?

If he thinks he's being smart by subverting modding quality or whatever, then let him. It's not like he can do anything about his upload being in the /terrywad/ section on idgames or the obvious indications in the wad file itself. If he's just asking an honest question, then we've got honest answers.

>>2603489
>>2603496
No. the sprites were done by Bloax for a player class in a GvH thing. I used them for an alternate monster spawn for bosses in Swab(SUaB)

>>2603495
I don't identify them. I tend to avoid anything for zdoom ports unless I've specifically heard of it, and know for sure that its a legitimate serious mod. These are also the only times I ever use zdoom.

All of my random downloading is strictly vanilla/limit removing/boom wads, and AFAIK, you can't do terry bullshit in those formats without specifically hacking the executable, or implementing zdoom only stuff that won't work in non-zdoom ports.

>>2603519
modding a project like this seems funny to me, but i'm interested in seeing what you make

i guess it was inevitable to have doom and gloome

>>2603541

How do you spot them without comments or something similar?

>>2603542
Not really modding anything. It started more as an experiment that turned into something really fun (if not fucking brutally difficult.) And became a valid excuse to finish what I had started a while ago.

It's me, Spook, by the way.

>>2603563
Text files are useful for finding out if something is vanilla/limit removing/boom.

In regards to zdoom stuff that I've heard of, I mean big name stuff thats talked about everywhere from here, to doomworld, to zdoom forums, past and present.

I just beat TNT.

Why the fuck do people complain about the maze, there's candles at the beginning that tell you how to beat it. I figured it out in under a minute

I forgot to add a more violent effect when you hit shit with the bat melee, but I'll be working on that soon.

I just like the normal baseballs

>>2603594
can you hit back fireballs?

>>2603583
I think its mainly that a lot of players nowadays don't like puzzles in their doom. Particularly since everyone is more used to the purely action gameplay of the Scythe series, and Alien Vendetta now.

I kinda miss the more puzzly maps we sometimes got in the 90's, like in Eternal Doom, a couple of maps in Icarus, and just about anything by Jim Flynn and Bob Evans. AFAIK, Reverie is the only fairly recent mapset that has puzzly maps.

>>2603601

Man I'd like to do that, but I think the best I'd be able to pull off is being able to just destroy incoming projectiles.

>>2603603
Just give the player the REFLECTIVE and AIMREFLECT flags for a few frames.

>>2603610

wouldn't that make the player immune from projectiles at -ALL- angles?

>>2603617
right, you need the SHIELDREFLECT flag in addition to those two. Makes it worky only on the front of the actor.

go

>>2603617
>>2603625
Correction, front-only reflection precludes aimed reflection. Still, random 45 reflection is cooler than just destroying the projectile right?

>>2603631

I'll consider that, but I'm not sure if I want to be giving the flag to the player himself, unless that's a fairly safe and reliable means of switching it back and forth.

>>2603637
Try this:
XXXX Y 0 A_ChangeFlag("reflective", TRUE)
XXXX Y 0 A_ChangeFlag("shieldreflect", TRUE)
(swinging frames here)
XXXX Y 0 A_ChangeFlag("reflective", FALSE)
XXXX Y 0 A_ChangeFlag("shieldreflect", FALSE)

>>2603645

That's what I figured I could do, it's been fucking ages since I last did something like that.

Specifically with the old warding shield in GMOTA.

Let me hammer that in, I'll add the reflective properties to all forms of the swing, both melee and ranged, and regardless if you have cells or not. It'll make the Daibatana a very defensive weapon. Which I think will be fine, given how powerful melee weapons are in this mod anyway, and the Daibatana being the BFG weapon.

>>2603627
HWD has perma-crits

>>2603648
oh boy you're actually going with that name??

>>2603719

Yes. Shivers helped make the sprites and he was the one who offered the suggestion after the Boulder Firing Gun didn't pan out very well.

Besides I like it.

Did the original setup.exe allow you to rebind your weapon keys?

>>2603752
no the weapon keys were hardcoded as number keys. see linuxdoom-1.10/g_game.c:343

for (i=0 ; i<NUMWEAPONS-1 ; i++)
if (gamekeydown['1'+i])
{
cmd->buttons |= BT_CHANGE;
cmd->buttons |= i<<BT_WEAPONSHIFT;
break;
}

Has anyone heard anything from Kaiser? He hasn't posted anything since Powerslave EX got taken down.

shit sure does get messy in smooth doom with SSG gibs

Damn satisfying

>Has anyone heard anything from Kaiser? He hasn't posted anything since Powerslave EX got taken down.

What happened? Did the publishers get mad?

>>2603773
>He hasn't posted anything since Powerslave EX got taken down.
that was may, i think in july he posted a request not to get up a petition to put d64ex on steam

>>2603786

Since he's worked with the rights holders before on strifeEX he might actually be hired in a super best case scenario but that's just speculation.

>>2603793
Yeah, if they can use his engine and get a non-Dosbox release of it on Steam they stand to make some decent dollarydoos for almost no effort

>>2603793
>CAD

when will people learn...

I finished Wolfenstein 3D today. okay it was the TC but it's so fucking accurate it may as well be.

Unfortunately though I only beat the original episodes.
Escape from castle wolfenstein
Operation Eisenfast
and
Die Fuhrer Die

Now the question is what should I do next? Should I do Spear of Destiny or Nocturnal missions first?

I'm going to do the mission packs last since I know they're essentially just mods of spear of destiny but y'know officially released by the devs.

>>2603793
Someone should make a "CEASE AND DESIST" Rip and Tear edit.

"CEASE AND DESIST! CEASE AND DESIST!" but then I'm not sure what it would say after

>>2603828
Meh. You pretty much got the full Wolf3D experience. There's no new enemies or anything in the later episodes or Spear besides the bosses. Play them if you just want more, I guess.

Play RTCW if you haven't already. It's a fucking good game and straddles the line between modern and classic FPS games. Then play Blade of Agony for gzdoom.

>>2603779

Mod?

>>2603862
He says the mod's name in his post.

If you're talking about the map, that's Back to Saturn X, I think.

>>2603862
Smooth doom and the BTSX e1 mapset. Unlike brutal doom it doesn't affect gameplay at all, just visuals.

>>2603828
Totenkopf SDL is great and you should try it sometime.

>>2603627
That's clearly a long-lost relative.

Someone should make a Chaingunguy chaingun for the heavy for the DOOM remake. Maybe the stats would be "No spin-up, increased move speed, but slower fire rate and less damage"

Also, how would I create a compatibility patch for Colorful Hell to use it alongside DRPG+RLA?

any other maps like this one?

>>2603821
it's his own fault

he should have made his engine rip the assets from the ps1 rom like doom64 ex did

he was pretty much distributing the game for free, which is a big no-no

get the fuck out lol

>>2604080

Last thing I knew was that all of that was going to be a Doom 3 mod. Now he's aiming for UE4 support for the old games.

I feel sorry for those who thought this was going to be a mod for any current sourceport.

>>2604167
They're pretty okay (I like the texturing on the pinky in particular). The anatomy is kinda wrong...

I should finish my cyberdemon... Been sitting on my hard drive receiving minor edits over 2 years. I finished his low poly version the other day (9085 tris so far)... After I bake his high poly and rig him he'll be good for animation... He'll still need a tongue and eyeballs and some wires though... He'll be pretty lightweight overall in the end... something like 11000 tris... usable in just about any game engine since 2003

>>2604184
forgot pic. He has arms and legs and shit now...

>>2604136
The Deimos base was already transformed by Hell. It doesn't have to make sense.

I'm considering making a very light gameplay mod built on smooth doom with these features:

>no pre-fire delay, post-fire delay increased same amount
>much smaller rocket and plasma hitbox
>slightly increased rocket and plasma projectile speed

Basically giving it a quake-esque feel. Would anyone be interested in this?

>>2604280
I was thinking about something similar the other day.
I would be interested. Some minor suggestions, if you don't mind:
>making weapon switch quicker/instant
>making the chaingun fire faster, increment ammo max, also make bullet pickups be worth more (think Valiant)

I give this mod the best titlepic ever award

>>2604293
>making weapon switch quicker/instant
That would be okay for deathmatch, but it removes some important tactical considerations for close quarters combat. Don't want it to end up like serious sam 2 where the best "weapon" was using both shotguns, one after the other continuously.

Slightly tweaking the chaingun to bring it in line with the buffed rocket launcher and the OP-as-always SSG might be a good idea though.

>>2603627
heavy's a cyberdemon replacement in AEOD

>>2604307
It works fine in Beautiful Doom

>>2603583
I just realized that in Gzdoom if you label teleport sectors it maps out the path.

Don't you think Crushers are underused in nowadays mapmaking?
I love the suspense of entering a room having a crusher trap not a sexual fetish, I swear but lately I haven't seen many.

Any suggestion on wads, old or new?

>>2604501
I recall they were sometimes used rather cheaply in the iwads

>>2604339
AEOD is shit.

>>2604501
I feel like I associate crushers with Hexen and Heretic more than with Doom,

>>2602082
What do people think of Odamex? Was looking for something a little more classic than Zandronum to play some co-op with a friend and it seemed like a nice alternative. Certainly less of a hassle than setting up Chocolate Doom for multiplayer.

>>2604778

Odamex is decent for super-classic vanilla play, but the problem is nobody fucking plays it.
Unless you have friends that already play it, you're not really going to find anyone.

>>2604778
There isn't much in the way of "find a server and play", but if you're accustomed to setting up chocolate doom then the step of gathering people first isn't alien to you. There's always people in the odamex irc willing to play, as far as I know.

I wish doomseeker supported G/ZDoom Servers.

>>2604501
>Don't you think Crushers are underused in nowadays mapmaking?
they are certainly less common than in 1994 pwads.

unseen slow crushers are basically death traps. if the thing touches your head you cannot escape, you just have to sit there and watch yourself die helplessly, and restart the level. going from "fine" to "dead" without any way to save yourself is very frustrating. contrast falling into a lava lake and having to scramble to find an exit teleporter - you take a lot of damage but you have a chance to survive.

unseen fast crushers are a little better as they are a punishment for inattention but you can at least survive them if you have a decent amount of health to begin with.

on the other hand, known crushers, ones you can see moving already, these break up your flow of movement and as such i find them annoying. these type of crushers are making something of a comeback in high-level slaughter maps that love platforming sections - a horribly long pillar jumping sequence isn't hard enough for you? well lets make the pillars have crushing ceilings!

>>2604787
>G/ZDoom servers
>Implying there's at least somebody (that isn't ednerd) that plays ZDoom on multiplayer

Kek

>>2604783
>>2604785
Glad to hear it's good for vanilla play. I mainly just play with friends so gathering people isn't much of a concern for me.

>>2604793
anyway the point is there's not many ways to put in a crusher without it being at best irritating or at worst a guaranteed death moment on your first attempt of a map and pointless thereafter. so they fell out of fashion.

Think you need to actually start playing levels first and not head to the Outpost right away. Which that is accessible from the New Game menu since you can save/load characters I believe.

>>2604819
doom rpg or doom 2 rpg better?
also how do you emulate the first one

>>2604830
He's not talking about the phone games

How do I make it so ZDoom will always load a particular mod file? Dragging and dropping sucks because my mouse is double-clicking like an asshole.

>>2604834
Ya need to get a new mouse, m8.

I had a mouse which started doing that, and it's really more trouble than it's worth, you're experiencing this right now so you get what I mean.

>>2604834
Can't you just write some batch files?

>>2604834
use zdl and just never remove that wad from the list.

>>2604834

What mod is that?

>>2604834

If your mouse is double-clicking, that's going to be a real pain in the ass for actual playing.
Either way, either edit your .ini to stick it in the Autoload section, write some batch files, or use a launcher to never remove the file.

>>2604846

If I had to guess, that's Smooth Doom

wow. I actually did something on the combat mod today.

Basic placeholder HUD for the time being but basically, special moves now consume energy.

>>2604187
dat looks bretty good, id like to see some more bulk on the arms and legs though

>>2604846
Smooth Doom, breh

>>2603024

Judging by the lack of response I'm going to assume that you did.

This is important, for a mod as niche and specific as Hideous Destructor, it is imperative to obtain it from the source itself. Given how often the author updates that thing, you may have downloaded an outdated, or even a bugged version.

And of course we should also consider how there's this idiot who just grabs everything from the zdoom forums and reuploads it without asking for permission to the authors first.

>decide to do a test run of BTSX on Doomretro
>weapon change on the mousewheel is inverted and can't be changed

man, I can't express my love enough to you guys about how much I love this.

I always wanted be it so that, whenever I'm about to fight a hell knight that lurks around a corner and instinctively change to the SSG, I end up taking out the rocket launcher and blow myself up in a single shot, or dying to the bunch of agitated skeletals at the end of map06 because I can't whip out the plasma rifle. It was a feature I always wanted in Doom and now I can finally see it in action. Thanks!

It helps that the music stutters, too. Ugh, how I hate BTSX's music, like you don't even know. Seriously guys, I really am not one to say this kind of stuff, but man, I always hated music in Doom to begin with.

>>2604864

>>2605161
It's hell we aint gotta splain' shit.

It needs to be open to spit out the demons.

So maybe what happened was they had to do it in a hurry, like half an hour before Doomguy rocked up they were like "Holy shit he's coming here, fuck what do we do?"

So the Icon is like "I can spit demons from my brain!" so they opened it up and tied it there with the chains but they didn't have time to get a more foolproof plan so Doomguy rocked up and blasted everybody before they could get a better idea.

>>2605275

>>2605273
It works fine without the mod, just tested it.

How do you guys stay so confident mapping on a 45 degree angle? Don't you ever run into a situation where it's not cooperating with the grid and nasty unit math shits over everything and things become crooked?

>>2605306
If it doesn't fit what I want then I'll edit the vertex by 1 unit at a time until it looks the way I want. It also gets easier after mapping for hellish areas since hell doesn't require as hard of angles as tech bases.

I'd say it comes from experience.

>>2605258
Barrels o' Fun is pretty tricky, IIRC

>>2602082

>>2605064
>>2605054
It's the ghost monster big. Archviles ressurecting crushed corpses makes bugged monsters that can only be hit with splash damage or hitting them directly along their middle Y axis. Also they go through walls.

MAP26 of HR exploits this.

>>2605357
A few more examples would be Icarus MAP24 (even has instructions at the beginning), Requiem MAP23, and Reverie MAP18.

>>2605351
Without being too technically, how is this different than Chocolate Doom?

>>2605351
From what I've played, Doom Retro is just a mod that runs it own source port. Too many pointless changes that can't even be disabled.

Crispy Doom is the better chocolate doom fork.

Could anyone recommend me a relatively easy mapset with nice architecture? I'm playing the SUAB/dark doom/ambient music combo suggested here before.

I found a trick to make wolfenstein blade of agony easier to handle.

You know if you unzip the folder you just get a folder with all the content and you have to drag it over to the gzdoom to play?

I found a neat little trick, all you have to do is change the zipped folder's extension to .wad or .pk3 and it works fine. No muss no fuss. plus it makes copying it and moving it around less aggravating since it's all compressed and really cuts down on time.

>>2606030
You can just drag and drop the zip, you know.

>>2605530
>>2605539

This is one of the easiest things as long as whatever editor has silent teleporters.

You just fade the stairs in the "in-between" area and have it teleport to the other "floor."

Incredibly easy.

Have a whooshing sound while swinging the weapon. That usually helps.

I've finally finished the first hub of Hexen, secret level included.
Please tell me the other hubs don't have that insane switch hunt, or at least not that bullshit. Guardian of Steel was really stupid in that regard.

Yo, guys. Spook here

Have fun.

>>2606418
Cool beans.

Still think something like a lever-action rifle without a scope would be fun for combat.

>>2606449
It'd conflict with the rifle, though.

This mod is good enough to be it's on standalone game.

As a wolfenstein fan I am loving the shit out of this mod, i'd pay fucking money for it if it were a legit game.

Hell it's a demo and I love it, and the cliffhanger it ends on just makes me fucking hungry for more I absolutely hope this project is finished and doesn't go belly up like most of this caliber do.

>>2603495
Well, first of all if the map's to good to be true(like Tormentor quality) then it's probably a terry wad. The second indicator is the author's name. Terrywad mappers mostly use full names like John Smith or James Wilson in order not to be detected.

They must be really fucking concentrated if they can't respond to two sentence questions in the length of two fucking years.

Not sure if this has been asked before but is there any way to disable the intro song in Project Brutality? I've tried opening the PK3 in SLADE but can't locate the offending reference or whatever, I'm not exactly a pro at modding

>>2605803
What the fuck? Goddamn I hate doomworld sometimes.

>>2604294
A new challenger appears!

Sup nigs. New to Doom sourceports and using the zDoom but the music doesn't sound quite right.
e1m1 music plays flawlessly but e1m5 is probably the most noticeable, the "violin" parts are cutting out constantly.
Any help?

>>2606708
Why?

>>2606451
I wouldn't even complain if you replaced the rifle with one which is faster and holds some more rounds.

It's just me personally, but I never much cared for scopes, there's rarely an engagement in Doom where you'd be calling for a scoped rifle. At the most slight magnification without obfuscating your view would be much more comfortable, kind of like the holographic sight on the rifle in AtM (though obviously not with such a big magazine or with automatic fire).

But I guess it's just how I feel about it, I never liked optics or scopes on guns, and I always liked a rifle which can be shot fast when needed.

>>2605803
I stopped taking Doomworld seriously when Scuba Steve shat on AEOD. Completely missed the point of that wad.

>>2606315
The switch hunting only gets worse, I'm afraid. The next hub has 6 switches hidden behind doors that require keys, and getting those keys can get VERY cryptic or just dumb luck to get. The one after that requires 9 switches, after 2 levels of looking for tiny gems to put into a wall. The one after that doesn't require a switch hunt, but instead a gear hunt, which is a royal pain in the ass. I've pretty much memorized the game, so it's not so bad for me, but if you want to finish the game, I suggest a guide.

>>2606782

No, I'd say he got exactly what the point of the wad is.
Some people just happen to like nonsensical mashups with no reason, consistency, or direction. Some people don't. He was one that didn't. So am I. You probably do like it.

>>2606763
Because at this point they're a bunch of autists who hate change. Then again they always have, since that cacowards with the worst wad being 'any wad with more detail than a wad made in the 90's'

>>2606789
I didn't think that Shadow Wood was as bad as the Seven Portals. Except for Caves of Circe. Heresiarch's Seminary was probably my favorite set of levels in the game. It was cut into two portions that made it more manageable. Castle of Grief can suck a dick.

Is there any way to fix the fucked up mouse movement in Duke Megaton Edition or am I just gonna have to stick with using eduke?

>>2606801
"what a bunch of autists," says the 4channer

>>2606804
Yeah, my biggest problem with shadow wood is getting the cave key, which requires you to fall through a hole in the floor that is easily skipped which opens the doors all throughout the level. Otherwise, it's just "get key, go to other 2 levels and pull switches."

>>2606801
>the worst wad being 'any wad with more detail than a wad made in the 90's'
i think you've misunderstood that.

tormentors detail guide describes how to prettify a map. it doesn't describe how to make a map that plays well. the author being a thought leader amongst a subset of the community resulted in a plethora of maps that were effectively boring mazes with super detailed walls.

>>2606782
But AEOD isn't good.

>>2606801
>Because at this point they're a bunch of autists who hate change
I don't see what that has to do with the thread that started this discussion, which is more about a clown being subtlely bullied and it backfiring as he revels in the attention.

>>2606837
Those maps would've been boring with or without the detail, we all know that not everyone can make good maps. Even those who do aren't exactly consistent.

>>2606852
I was talking about the posts on the page that was link of the thread.

>>2603594
There is not enough weight behind that bat swinging animation.

wolfen doom blade of destiny (tormentor's 667 and friends mod) has weird graphical glitches for me. Enemy sometimes not appearing, stuff "following" my camera... using gzdoom last version. Any help? Kinda fun though

>>2606852
Just so you know the full story, joe has already been banned from doomworld, so he's not reveling in anything now.

>>2606943
not really. Something on your pc or gzdoom must be borked. Never had this ever.


You didn't modify anything did you?

>>2606956
no he's not. he got unbanned by the hosting move (he was banned after the backup was taken). unless he's been rebanned again since.

>>2606782
I think we all get the point of it, it's just that AEOD isn't good.

>>2606967
no, nothing

maybe I just have to change my pc?

>>2606994
Remember not to make the most common mistake.

Are you absolutely sure you aren't runnin 2 mods at once? Blade of Agony is the one and only it needs nothing else to run.

>>2606782
>>2606993
>>2606839
Yep, it's just not very fun. I mean, it does what it tried to do well- a random mashup of random shit... But by that aspect, terrywads are 'good' in that they do what they try to do. Comfydoom is good at what it tries to do. But that doesn't mean they're fun.

>>2604294
>>2606742
ahahahahaha
maybe

>>2606742
what titlepics that from? those levels look great

What are some of the best atmospheric, tense, or horror-filled WADs out there that aren't Unloved or Ghoul's Forest?

I like Winter Fury's asthetics.
Same for Whitemare 2.
Cheogsh 2 and 3.

There was some russian levels that were fucking awesome but I can't recall their name.

>>2607081
bloody steel

>>2607021
Now now, let's not be unfair, actual work was put into making AEOD work.

Now, it's an incoherent mess and uneven as shit, but there were people who worked to achieve their goals in that project, you can't take that away from them.

>>2607101
Anything by Lainos.

>>2607131
>>2607112
Thanks. Cheogsh seems very promising.

>>2606801
>Then again they always have, since that cacowards with the worst wad being 'any wad with more detail than a wad made in the 90's'

Sunlust, made by Ribbiks (who also has one Cacoward for Whales) is one of this year's shoe-ins, and not a single level from there has "90's detail". Nice shitpost, though.

>>2607153
>shoe-in
shoo-in

>>2606956
>>2606975

He hasn't been banned (at all), he's only been -losered- (which means they sent him to a special subforum in DW made for morons who don't know better)

And while we're at it, I still have no idea why is it taking so long for them to actually give him the boot, when there have been cases in which they've given the banhammer to other morons for something smaller than what he has done and said. This is how you know they're just playing with him.

>>2606495
some mod devs are just in denial I guess. There's a bunch of unreal mods which the developers said "it's almost done" about literally 4 fucking years ago.

I know people do this shit for free but you shouldn't rope people along with bullshit if you can't finish the project.

>>2607153
Okay? It's just whenever I see DW complaining about something, it's about 'ultra-detail'. I understand with the all detail and no substance maps, but that doesn't mean every map with detailing is bad.

>>2607204

I haven't seen a lot of complaints about ultra-detail. Details generally seems to be generally liked, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the gameplay and trip players up.
If anything, the majority of complaints as of late (not specific to Doomworld) seem to be focused around maps requiring ZDoom without "justifying" it.

>>2607126
>actual work was put into making AEOD work.
When was this ever a relevant criterion? So they should get a gold star for participation? Fucking millennials and their "I expended effort so I deserve kudos" entitlement.

>>2604062
>>2604121
That web 1.0 html website, absolutely gorgeous

>>2607126
Yeah, that's what I tried to say. They put a colossal amount of hard work into it, they knew what they wanted, and they did what they wanted.

Only problem is that what they wanted was shit.

>>2604062
That's hilarious.

>>2607229
I'm just saying that someone cared about making something they thought would actually be good.

That it actually really isn't, that's true, but it's LEAGUES beyond what goes into a terrywad, you can't take that from them.

>>2605508
Holy fucking shit. Has this always been in ZDoom or did it only recently become a thing?

Does this mean we can finally make multiple-story buildings without having to use teleporters that just teleport you to a different part of the map now? Because that would be the fucking tits.

>>2607270
That's been a thing for like, several years, m8.

You shouldn't use way too many at once though, it'll quickly start to eat memory.

>>2604062
Hahaha, I remember my brother sharing his copy of Quake with me and the only custom maps he had were one half-baked DM map and like 10 other porn maps just like these. Apparently they were multiplayer, too.

Imagine going on a server and just seeing like seven other players staring at softcore 90s internet porn on the walls.

>>2607272
Wait a second, does it just use the one floor that lets players jump on it instantly when holding the jump button, unlike normal floors which have a bit of a delay before jumping again? Because if that's the case then yeah I've already played maps with this before.

I still long for the day that we'll be able to properly have floors over floors. Here's to ZDoom and DoomBuilder finding a way to implement that someday.

>>2604121
>>2607234
I recently made a web 1.0 site for another /vr/ game, hosted on Geocities resurrection host too. I kind of cheated though, I used a couple lines of CSS and used some MP4s.

>>2607280
But they already do.
Maps like Putrefer make us of it.

>>2604090
Well, at least he's working with NightDive studios in order to bring it to Steam instead.

>>2607289
Well then, I'll be damned. Just watched a video of it. Are they really THAT badly optimized though? In that case, here's to them having better optimization in the future.

>>2607301
I've never had any problem with maps that make use of it. Not even in my crappy laptop.

Agitating skeletons are assholes and I hate them.

>>2607339
I love to hate them

>>2607301
It's just that if you use a ton of them along with dynamic lights, that's a lot of shit to render. As long as you use single sided linedefs so as not to render every single 3dfloor on the entire map at once you should be okay.

This is an example of "too much" of them in a wad.

>>2607372
That's The Island, isn't it?
It slowed my computer in the first area but ran fine in the cavern with many 3D floors (your screeshot) and the dream segments with lots of enemies and effects.

>>2607339
bullshit. who could hate this cutie?

>>2607280
>I still long for the day that we'll be able to properly have floors over floors.
They DO, it's called 3D Floors.

>>2607301
They're not a nightmare to even have a few, but if you start using a lot of them, it'll add up, GZDoom was never well optimized.

>>2607339
Then you must love the Famine.

>>2607382
Do not trust anything this poster says, he is a skeleton.

>>2607379
The entire map ran fine for me, but it's very taxing for how good it actually looks relative to the performance cost.

Anyway, anyone else tried hunters moon? I finally did today. The quake 3-ness is almost surreal. There's something really odd about the monsters though, they're smudgy and hard to see for some reason.

has anyone here played LA worlds before?

been playing it sporadically throughout the entire week, am at MAP16 so far.

I feel like pissing down into my fucking face.

>>2607417

A little bit of it.

I enjoy its crazy ass skyboxes.

>>2607417

From what I've seen it looks coolio. Is there a link anywhere? Google doesn't do shit yo.

>>2607172
Yep, almost all Unreal projects get hyped up by the devs and then abandoned and left to rot in like a year.

why does doom 2 have so many open empty spaces?

>>2607438
I don't have any official links so i uploaded the wad to MEGA: https://mega.co.nz/#!KkYmHRJJ!JLFEJEUvGjbQ6OtbLeolIrnDAc0i4VA3u2vwgJyOos0

Is there any way to see and modify the scripts embedded in Hexen maps?

>>2607497
To show off the engine capabilities

>>2607508
You can use an ACS decompiler, but there won't be comments or the original variable names

>>2607515
You are probably right.

I've been playing the PSX Doom TC a lot recently.
The Doom I maps are scaled down due to them being based on the Jaguar port, which needed them to be due to system performance constraints.

But even the Doom II levels are scaled down. I especially noticed this in MAP09 (MAP39): The Pit.

Although the PSX is much more powerful than the Jag, I guess they had to compensate for added features such as colored sectors, etc.

>>2606801
>since that cacowards with the worst wad being 'any wad with more detail than a wad made in the 90's'

It was more specifically going off at ultra detailing of the excessive and pointless kind that involves a lot of cut+paste. It can result in goofier than intended aesthetics, and even nooks and crannies that are detrimental to gameplay. Tormentor's guide unfortunately actually encouraged this in some of the categories, hence why it was given the award.

beat valiant for the first time. episodes one and two seemed okay and almost boring at times but everything after that was fucking phenomenal. I know I'm late to the party because I was putting off this wad for a long time, but what did you guys think of it?

>>2608013
I actually quite liked E1 and E2 myself. Though nothing tops E5.

HEY GMOTA GUY:

I just beat the first 29 levels (and the two secret stages) of speed-of-doom in GMOTA. It was GLORIOUS, thank you for the fun.

I'm using 0.9.9 and the new cyberdemon is great. also I appreciate that no enemies hitscan, it lets me be as close range as possible.

(Didn't play level 30 because I'm in gzdoom and my laptop chokes, lols.)

thanks!

>>2608064

The best part is level 28; there are tons of white crystals around, and you can just annihilate the whole level flying around with the super-sword (specifically using the "leap" which replaces the grapple, and the holding down the charge which replaces the subweapon... so much fun just flying through the level...)

>>2608013
The ending was pretty underwhelming, other than that it's really good. Definitely something that we'll see on cacoward page.

>>2608137
>The ending was pretty underwhelming

It was still better than the usual boss shooter.

Slimer?

so I took the liberty of editing d64mus.wad and rewrite/replace most mp3 files in there with the original OST released by aubrey hodges in OGG format, and renamed all of them in order to have the songs play exactly as vanilla Doom 64's midi sequence order, and it's totally compatible with vanilla Doom or any levelpack or megawad.
