Anyone else feel they gravitate towards aesthetics that are within Vanilla limits over anything else? It just seems like Vanilla maps often have more balanced and consistent visuals, and generally always look "Doom" to me.

While not always, there are non-vanilla maps (any engine format) that sometimes go over-the-top with the sector usage, making for uneven visuals that to me don't feel like they belong in Doom.

My GZDoom doesn't display all of the sprites for the weapons. Some it does, some it doesn't ( like Deathhead here ).
I didn't have the same problem in earlier version, plus the problem persist 2.3 and 2.4 of the RO.

I've always kinda admired wads like Darkening E2, Suspended In Dusk, and BTSX for showing excellent visuals while staying within the static limits.

Visuals in stuff like ZDCMP2 are impressive themselves, but I can agree that it doesn't look much like Doom anymore. Though I wouldn't call it uneven unless the "millions of sectors" are only done selectively, or a mapset only has a few maps doing it.

Ok, secondary objectives that affects the next level finished, Nemesis placeholder is holding its place, but I'm still not sure about adding in upgradeable health.

Anyone else with more ACS knowledge know if a script that increases the maximum amount of HP would break other mods loaded with it? My concern is with stuff like Demonsteele since it uses tokens instead of numbers.

Also, should nemesis function straight like Resident Evil style and try to move in for a grapple/melee or should he maintain a more varied approach?

I believe HeXen defaults the 5-to-9 keys to using items, and since ZDoom doesn't have quickuse keys for HeXen items defined they don't show up in the options.

To get of that, you should only have to bind those keys to something else then unbind them. Or use the unbind console command, that works too.

Great pyramids is an obvious one, but others like the grand canyon, great wall of china, Central Park, or ridiculous things like the lunar lander site could be fun.

If the other player has the skin, they see it as well.
And on the contrary, a lot of skins add up. The vrskins pack, for example, is almost 32mb. Plus, some people don't want to see every skin--some people want to stick with the theme and have space marines and soldiers running around, some just want hot demon girls running around, and others just want all the skins they possibly can.

So anyone who hasn't played monster hunter limited yet really should, like right now. It has absolutely 10/10 architecture, maps that are very open but feel much more so than they actually are due to tons of details outside the playable area, and a certain kind of decayed urban setting you pretty much never see in doom.

A few months later he realized how stupid that was and came back, apologized here and talked to wildweasel who agreed to unban him a year later. Couldn't tell you what happened at DW, didn't browse it at the time. He worked a great deal on The Space Pirate and provided code for a few other things such as a possible whip for GMOTA (which was rejected because GMOTA Guy can't into math), fixes to Samsara to allow Douk to shoot and use the mighty boot at the same time, and perfect moving platforms.

Heretic is just like Doom though. Hexen is different enough with the hub and everything that would make it more interestng for me.

Doomworld has a whole ton of attempts at community projects practically weekly, very few gather up. 8ch has been trying to get "their own" mod for a while, and the closest thing is the Moonman mod, when they're not throwing fits about something or another.

The problem is that it's easy to go "Oh yeah, this would be so cool" and even write out a plan, but the question is in executing it and making something both fun and new.
This is even more complicated by the nature of 'chan boards, where a consensus opinion is impossible due to the nature of anonymity.

Yes, almost anything that can draw the attraction of people.

Preferably the more known the better, like I could do a map about a mountain near me called "Stone Mountan" because it's a large solid rock instead of formation; however, not many people know about Stone Mountain. It'd cool to map, but not many people would understand where they're supposed to be.

Okay, I'm not the OP, but here's a few suggested rules:

1: Zandronum compatibility minimum. You've got a lot of GZDoom-available features, but let's not go stupid cutting-edge here. The point is to make something people can play.
2: No custom monsters or weapons. Let's make something that people can run from back and forth from level to level without any issues or inconsistencies. Focus on the existing monsters/weapons. Plus, it means people can run it with gameplay mods without issues.
3: Don't make the level stupidly long or large. Don't get over-ambitious--again, the point is to make something fun to play for about an evening, we're not trying to break any records or show anything off. Let's say a maximum gameplay time of about 10/15 minutes.
4: Midi or tracker music. Let's keep it small. Lossy music types like .ogg and .flac still bloat up filesize. Lossless like flac is HELL FUCKING NO.

Been playing through WOS with Corvus since I hardly ever touch him. I think the Etheral Crossbow outclasses the vanilla Doom Shotgun in a quite few ways. Fires faster, oddly enough scoring more damage on average (killing chaingunners with one shot more often than the old shotgun), and the shot arrangement makes it more useful as a long range weapon.

Gotta give props to the Dragon Claw as well, thing just tears apart even hell knights and cacos pretty easily. The Phoenix Rod knockback is still a bitch to get used to though.

thinking about it more, drawing from my rich historical knowledge of dynasty warriors games, i'm thinking hulao gate. a snowy environment isn't seen too often, and there's some obvious landmarks like sishui & hulao gate, maybe even a bit of luoyang. main issue would be scrounging up snowy & asian-themed textures & decorations.

I was born in '96 but only played the PC version of Doom in 2008, and found Skulltag in 2009. The first mod I played (and also the first mod I played through ZDoom) was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w6FxkYU9qM

My fucking prepubescent mind was blown at the amount of mods there was for Doom, as well as seeing all of the stuff that could be done with it. I mostly still played console games at the time, but Doom was what kept me hooked on my PC, got me to play games on consoles a LOT less often, and made me learn much more about computers.

I was going to make an Alamo map where you'd have to hold out for x amount of waves while waiting for reinforcements; then, at the final wave, it says you won't be recieving anymore reinforcements and you keep going until you die.

I know it sounds cheesy like, "objective: survive," but I think it could be done really well.

Also, you don't have to go 100% historically accurate rendition. You could do a future alamo, or an alamo where the Mexicans lost. That's part of what I find interesting is the different interpretations to different monuments.

My Washington Monument will probably be either a ladder to another dimension or it'll have a giant satellite dish on top for LORE.

Basically it's up to you whether or not you want to stick to historical accuracy, as long as it's recognizable.

- Moon Man gib kill lines
- Defined Sheboon and GigaNigga (Moon Man now says sheboon kill lines for the mancubus)
- Shadow Warrior gibs now fly out of certain enemies after being gibbed
- Certain enemies drop their weapons now (although the pickup system is just like the crates)

The Deagle has a purpose, to chamber high-powered revolver/Magnum cartridges in a self-loading pistol.

It actually has suitable purposes such handgun hunting and metallic silhouette shooting. It's an atrocious choice for a combat weapon or sidearm but that doesn't matter because that's not what it was designed to be.

I can't think of a good reason for the double-1911, it's thick as hell and uses two single-stack magazines for 7+7+1+1 capacity and can only fire two bullets at a time no matter what.
If I wanted a .45 with a lot of bullets I'd look at a USP, Mk.23 or FNX, or hell, even a MAC-10 pistol.

harder than plutonia.

what to do after the iwads? at this point you can go pretty much anywhere.

if you liked doom1, try class_ep (the classic episode)
if you liked doom2, try memento mori (+sequel)
if you liked tnt, try icarus
if you liked plutonia, try hell revealed, then, as you say, alien vendetta.
(all the competn megawads are good!)

another common suggestion is to go through doomworld's top 100 (from 10 years of doom) and then each years' cacowards. this will include pretty much everything i mentioned already plus lots of others.

if i were you i would work my way up through the years. many people seem to jump straight into super perfectionist modern maps, and then aren't able to play the old classics, because they're not pretty enough.

This has been brought up a couple of times already. Romero said in this interview >>2623110 that he would love to do another Doom map, but he said he would feel bad releasing a map in the style of the 1993 classics when he has seen with his own eyes a lot of cool stuff that has been done on the Doom engine.

As a matter of fact, the original point of the "Doom the way id did" project was to contact Romero and get him to do another Doom episode. He instead posted in the Doomworld thread leaving his mapping laws for the community to follow them.

tl;dr: Romero would likely go full Tormentor if he releases another Doom map; this of course hurts the purists.

>> No.2623771

I've only ever made one proper map before (The /tg/ wad) but once I get home (in about a week), I'm thinking of starting work on a completely new project. Half mappack, half gameplay change, with some amount of story (but not too much, because this is doom after all).

Right now I'm toying with the idea of setting it in a space station or spacecraft. Think 'gellar field failure' from 40k, with demons barreling through the halls. Jump and crouch enabled, (and certain situations where the gravity generator isn't at 100%, meaning you can jump higher than normal, or even near-infinitely).

Also, character classes that each have their own special capabilities. A lightly armored scout type, who has a constant partial invisibility but a max of 50 armor, a marine type who's generic doomguy (with a maximum armor of 400) and a technician type who can create and control a special drone, to fly through vents and trigger buttons that the other classes can't reach.

What do you guys think?

That was another thing I was planning, though I wasn't entirely sure though I'm not sure how I'd use the deployable forcefields. Maybe make it an overly large actor with the +GHOST and +REFLECT tag and give all player projectiles THRUGHOST? That way, enemy projectiles hit the forcefield, deal damage to it, and then bounce back. While the player can hang out inside the shield and blast away.

I feel that it's better to jump into a project after fucking around enough with map and mod creation to get my handle on things I've spent a lot longer fucking around with decorate than I have with mapping, but in this case, if I start a project and go as I go, I'll learn more about mapping and such if I have an entire vision and design doc.

I think I'd make a ~7 or so thin, tall actors spawn in a line with A_spawnitemEx and have the reflect tags on them. They'd be invisible and another, inert actor with a flat pane 3d model would be visual part of the shield.

Shihong's at a pretty solid beta-ish stage, and I think now's a good time to start gathering opinions on how she plays so far. So I'm gonna let out an early playbuild for you guys to fuck around with, punching and kicking dudes or shooting or whatever.
She's still nowhere near finished, but hey.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fo9nh88xs48xv7u/te13-DemonSteele.pk3
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xi94i3p550grunh/ssh.pk3
Load up both on Zandro/ZDoom with a mapset of your choice.

Shihong's gameplay is similar to Hae-Lin's in some ways. Primary fire melees, secondary fire shoots. Dash to avoid getting shot. However, she's also way different in some ways.
While Hae-Lin operates off souls from killing enemies, Shihong instead generates ki from hitting, which fuels special attacks. Likewise, while Hae-Lin's gameplay is fairly straightforward, Shihong's is a little more intricate. She has three styles to swap between, which give passive buffs (Guns of War boosts gun damage/ki generation, Strength of Aeons boosts melee damage/ki generation, Ghost of Perdition increases speed/jump/dash/etc) and changes her special moves. Likewise, punching dudes to death even as a muscleninja isn't as easy as bisecting them with a demon blade, but building up a punching combo will power up a finishing jumpkick or dashkick.

Things to keep in mind:
1: No BFG yet.
2: Guns of War doesn't have a back special yet.
3: Ghost of Perdition's front special is utter piss. It's fun to use, but otherwise a waste of meter. Plus, it's got problems online. May end up getting cut.
4: The Tiger saber doesn't have a good Reload function yet. The Fist's reload is...ehhhh.
5: Mismatching sprites for kicks, placeholder animations for several special moves (forward/side Guns special, side/back Ghost special).
6: Several item pickups aren't replaced yet (Sentinel, Blind Guardian, soul fragment, soul prison).
7: No voice/player sprites yet.
8: Fullscreen HUD kinda wonked.

Other than that, have fun. Lemme know what you think.

Anon who did that kinda way too small zDoom level as his first go that ends in a spoopy teleport here. (Wow that's a title.)

Trying to do a vanilla map to break it up between Map01/02 for the zDoom one. Also trying to do a speed map, but failing horrendously because I'm new and borderline autistic on testing/detailing; about four or five hours in with only a few rooms done. Pic related and far too dark because I left zDoom in a brighter sector mode during testing.

Anywho, quick question - I have a door that once I open it and look inside, Chocolate Doom instantly crashes. What might this be caused by? Doom Retro and zDoom handle it just fine. I'm mapping in pure and virgin Doom in Doom format and I'm not going very excessive on items/vertexes/detailing.

If you can find your way there go to the rat king's lair again go to the room he resides in then from the entrance go up the stairs to the upper right wall and noclip through it should lead you right to the exit.

It's what I did after saying fuck it I just noclipped around till I found the exit.

Anyone else prefer the old MBF/Boom Alternate HUD to the one provided by ZDoom?

If you're in PrBoom-Plus, you can even cycle through some extra customization presets to them by pressing F5.

Considering reimplementing it with SBARINFO for (G)ZDoom.

Yeah, I prefer the Boom hud over the alternate hud in Zdoom.

Though nothing beats the good ol' statusbar IMO.

this is fine by the way, remember they renumbered the pages, so our old "page 6 or 7" rule of thumb becomes "page 7 or 8"
