Ok got two more versions of Secret Nazi Moon Base for you. Both are now ZDoom-only due to using flats as textures (thanks to the lunar landing anon for those):
https://mega.nz/#!6tMEwQSY!_Gnt0CF8YCeJSo-wjcJuIylPJMH4rW-QBm372c3HGK0

This one starts you off outside the base on the moon to make the whole moon thing obvious. Some of the secrets are changed around and the number of hitscanners has been toned down by replacing them with projectile enemies. You also get non-secret green armour close to the start. Also one of the secrets is (I think anyway) quite a lot of fun to play around with.

https://mega.nz/#!7tED0bSY!2b7gujmQhtDr2PczFp7kiu2EuDrn6Pdi_TdrgqvTl5Y
This version has all of the above changes as well as replacing the entire computer maze with a different type of computer room based around getting the jump on arachnotrons. It has the same secret rewards as the old computer room but obviously in different places now.

>as long as people keep making prboom-friendly maps, i'm okay.
I'm not going back to UDMF permanently, as I have to finish a second map in a two-map zDoom set I started awhile back. While I would like to get better at vanilla, next time I will definitely be using a texture pack (if I can get it to work.) Vanilla textures and scripting feels extremely limiting after starting on UDMF. Especially the part where I can make entire scripts activate at once so a fully furnished staircase can texture itself and pop up out of the ground entirely on it's own, using only 10 tags, all at once.

I do have a lot of fun mapping for Doom though. It eats a lot of time, but it's so easy to pick up that I recommend any long-time fan who hasn't, to start. In a time where people won't stop making new gameplay mods and weapon packs, I'd love to see more maps.

Borderlands 1 was the most solid for story and seriousness, but the weapons feel bland and the gameplay is the weakest of the three.

BL2 has /the/ definitive gameplay, but is hammed down with some dumb memes and childish humor. It's not that bad though, and some of the DLC is good. The most driving point is whether you like Tiny Tina or not, because Assault on Dragon's Keep is the best of the DLC.

BL:TPS is the worst of them. Gameplay is a gimmicked BL2, story is tripe shit, tons of extremely obnoxious characters. I feel ashamed that I spent money on it, but I needed another coop game for me and my girlfriend. It's just bad.

Tediore guns are the best though, I fucking love how those behave and I want to see that shit in a doom mod.

That looks fine. But your screenshot has reminded me of something. I don't think mappers pay attention to the little things that source ports make available.

Like locational sound. I'm in a cave. It's a nice looking one and there's water. The scene would be so much better if I could hear some drops from condensation that has formed on the ceiling, or the trickling of the water slowing moving along. And the funny thing is, it doesn't have to be a massive project like Temple of The Lizard Men to benefit from it.

>> No.2653647

if you're working with zdoom, just look up ambient sounds on the zdoom wiki for instructions.

if you want something boom-compatible, i know there's ways folks have faked ambient sound objects through dehacked by hijacking some less-used sounds & objects. iirc one of the archvile attack sounds is commonly used as an extra sound in dehacked-based mods because it's buggy and never actually plays in the original games.

Decorate for items, weapons, monsters.
ACS for mapping.

Both are extremely powerful if you take the time to learn them. With ACS and a lot of time, you could make a map reform itself entirely as a player runs around, or use a convener belt and actor to create a timed sequence of events.

Decorate has some limits I assume, but I don't know it well.
ACS is borderline limitless if you know what you're doing and have time.

Unrelated, but zDoom does have an upper limit on monsters (especially activated) because DECORATE is so heavy on the CPU. Anything beyond about 1,000 - 15,000 will bog down modern-ish computers.

This is what I was talking about earlier.

It's not because it's sprites, it's because DECORATE is more intensive than vanilla AI. Go test out a limit removing port like Boom+ and then zDoom on something like Sunder's "The Hag's Finger". You'll see a huge difference in framerate, even before the monsters have been activated.

depends on the map, and how early you give it to the player. if it'd be handy to get through a bunch of spongey enemies like hell knights, mancubi, etc, then i'd make it a bit easier to find (out of 10, make it a 3); if it's found early on and just makes it a lot easier to blow through some demons or some-such, make it a lot harder to find.

single map, vanilla comp, somewhat nonlinear, you can get shotty on first enemy you meet, you can get chaingun very early, plasma gun and rocket launcher are available in optional locations

plasma and rocket are easy to balance since they have their own ammo pools and such. ssg has a problem of sharing ammo with regular shotty, because of that it becomes the main weapon of the game, which is what we have all experienced in doom 2.

I have noticed that by simply not having a ssg in arsenal, map is much more balanced since enemies such as barons and revenants are not dying too fast and they actually have time to deal damage, on top of that without ssg, player has to switch weapons more often according to situation instead of going BOOM CLICK CLACK every hallway.

so far my idea of SSG secret is a hidden room thats behind 3 doors that need to be unlocked by using 3 separate switches hidden on map.

plasma gun is in optional area with many imps and baron, rocket is in not-so-hidden area with arachnatrons and spectres, total ammo count for plasma is 400, total ammo count for rocket is 30, I wanted player to ration it properly and use as situation requires without having player starved.
map is 70% done with geometry, then comes detailing, you may get to play it in few days.

and I have hidden 9 revenants near super shotty and they come out once you pick it up.
combat arena is bunch of tight corridors that loop and have pillars.

haha yeah, it sort of seemed like that while I was doing it. Thing is, Doomguy's foot in D4 does look that sort of large actually if you look at it closely. Kinda has a digitigrade-ish look to it. Also I wasn't really convinced on whether actually drawing his face behind the helmet glass or not. I ultimately decided to keep it as it is since I thought the pic would be ruined had I kept his helmet blank.

>chibi caco
lol I forgot to add the rest of the teeth around the bare edges of its mouth. It actually looks legitimately cute now that I'm looking at it.

The pic itself is actually supposed to be a personal interpretation of what I picture Doomguy to actually look like in D4. The green armor's based on the one seen in the SnapMap demo video too so all's based off the right sources.

imo revenants are sorta glass cannons, thats why they simply "work" as a tough enemy when you are only with a shotgun.

seriously, do you find a revenant dangerous when you got SSG and space to dodge?
maybe when there is +10 of them.

I am more focused on making barons and knights dangerous since everyone shits on them. and best way to do it imo is to have level work against player. so far it has worked, when testing the map I usualy die to either knight/baron or a lost soul

boners are used in 3 ways on this map so far
>snipers
>chasers

snipers are most common use for them on this map, there are few chasers which is where they shine, monster closet with them happens only once and thats in secret I have described earlier.

revenants are their most dangerous when they're placed in odd locations where they can freely shoot at you a few times before you take notice, or when they're at the back of a room with other monsters.

Those homing rockets may not kill you, but constantly dodging them is gonna get you into trouble if there's a bunch of other things gunning for you.

thing is that my map is quite claustrophobic with loops and many windows and such

you can be surprised by lost souls in weird spots sometimes

so far I did not find revenants broken. first group you meet is chasers, they put some serious pressure on player, but by the time you meet them you can have a plasma gun already, other group player can meet is in bottleneck, and its sniper type with chaingunners on raised platforms, these can be dispatched easily from adjacent room with a window.

I am not changing the SSG trap, its too fun and I am a cunt as I have said earlier.

I want to have two more pairs of chasers before second red key and then few snipers at final battle with archville that player cant see, this achville will keep on rezzing monsters and player has to find a way around the battle line to get to him and shut him down
behind archville cage there is a switch that opens up exit

I was wondering how the fuck did I do to one-shot a cyberdemon in MAP27 of Doom 2 Reloaded whereas it would take three or four normal hits to kill.

>> No.2656095

>>2656073
>so I rarely use it
it's immensely powerful. It usually kills a spider mastermind in two point blank shots.

The ball flies out like a second after you shoot, but most of the damage is a shotgun spread that comes out of the gun in the direction you fired the ball (not the direction *towards* the ball, i mean the absolute map-angle) when the ball collides with something. Basically what you need to know unless it's deathmatch is shoot stuff with it up close but don't strafe around too much after you press your fire key/button.

>> No.2656096

I know theres an option for screen multiplying in PrBoom+, but their method doesn't seem as accurate (won't stretch original resolution into 4:3), and using 4:3 pixel resolutions results in the statusbar appearing distorted.

i tried shooting at the screens i can see in the corridor beyond the grates, nothing happens

that's because most probably none of those wads you played made use of action triggers that activate when you commit an action, such as killing monsters in this case

To be fair, ZDoom's blatant disregard for demos is a bit of a concern, since it's one of the easiest ways to provide feedback.
Seeing people play my stuff is a lot better than them just tell me about it, since I can see in action the tactics they prefer, whether they focus on what I want them to focus on, how certain encounters work for different playstyles, and etc. ZDoom's constant update schedule and wildly diverse set of builds makes demo recording effectively null, so that avenue's out for me.

PSX Doom includes all the "Normal" Dooms, however, uses newer sound effects, colored lighting, map alterations, and what divides most people is the new ambient soundtrack. It sort of brings the other Doom's up to 64's style. However, it's the most complete one out there in terms of total maps.

N64 Doom is an entirely separate game, with a newer engine, different scripts, entirely new set of levels, somewhat hard difficulty, new final boss, etc. Also lots of colored lighting, dark areas, and ambient music. It's rock fucking solid, imo, but some people don't like it.

Can't comment on GCN. Or 32X. Those I believe have the original music, but with different soundfonts?

It fires one super shot with the rough equiv damage of all 7 pellets. This is both good (turns the shotgun into a hard hitter which is cool for Doom I), and bad because Shotgunner's get the same ability I believe.

In shotgun terminology, a Shotgun Slug is a massive solid projectile fired from a shotgun instead of a spread of pellets (shot.) They're used for either hunting big game or have military purposes. Their extreme weight allows them to "punch" targets, even if they don't penetrate. It's one thing to have your body armor stop a small 9mm pellet, it's another to have it stop a giant half-fist sized chunk of metal.

This is bullshit. Pirate Doom or Void or CIF3 are everyone's sweethearts. The problem is that (G)Zdoom takes away sensible demo recording even for wads that were made with demo recording in mind. It's a fun thing that mappers often want to cater to, because it looks great on camera. And then (G)Zdoom fucks it up, because backwards compat is for stupid losers. It's disheartening and it has nothing to do with Doomworld elitism. I guess maybe you can record all your crap in OBS, then cut the pertinent bits and upload them to YT, but this is already way more annoying than ignoring Zdoom and playing in more conservative ports.

Zdoom does its own thing. I'm perfectly happy with that and I use it whenever I feel like playing a Zdoom-specific wad. I prefer playing anything "lower" with more faithful ports, but that's just me. It's the mentality that (G)Zdoom should be the all-encompassing port that's sufficient for everyone that is poisonous. Sadly, Graf seems to suffer from it too. Anything new and "hacky" is evil, because oh god there might be a wad that'd be broken in Zdoom! We must stop the mappers before they even think of creating such atrocities!

>> No.2658448

is there a way to fuse two different sounds to have them play one after another in SNDINFO?

I have both a new firing sound for the shotgun made from scratch and a new pump sound as well, but I'd like the pumping sound to play after the firing sound is done playing, as in trying to mimic the original shotgun's sfx. Am I gonna have to dip myself into the code to make the pumping and the firing entirely separate states, or should I give up and just get a sound mixing program to do it? I sincerely hope I don't have to mess up with the SFX at all, I'm too much of a lazy fag to try and put two sounds together because ugggghhhhh

also earlier I tried to change the SSG's firing sound in slade but I couldn't get the $limit thingie to work, the sound kept being cut

Hey nerds! I'm that one nerd who's still posting announcements on the /vr/ Steam group and I just wanted to mention someone pointed out this Discord thing we can use for voice chat.

https://discord.gg/0UcBfIOPKz8Tsx66

It's got one text channel called chat for general irc-style chat, and three voice channels called "RIP", "TEAR", and "Server". RIP and TEAR are for separate teams in multiplayer modes that use them (I.E. CTF) and Server is just for general server voice chat.

So uh, keep that bookmarked if you want. You don't have to sign up, and if your browser supports webm, it supports this. it's kind of like IRC meets Mumble with Skype's text chat.

So to test it out, I made a Samsara Armageddon server.

I personally think he should make quips at first but as the game goes on and he gets further into hell he seemingly gets less stable and his quips get more and more nonsensical until he's only screaming in rage whenever he would quip.

Like say at first he'd begin saying duke like quotes

Stay silent. The Build engine games were themed on making pop-culture references and parodies, which is why their protags made lots of one liners.

Yeah. The only megawads that actually have me playing them from start to finish, are ones that have a loose story to add context for progressive play. Or are at the very least, are designed in a way that allows progressive play to make sense.

Collection Megawads on the other hand, where there is no story, consistency, nor any balance towards progressive play don't interest me enough to play them at all, outside of idclipping to some maps. I kinda feel these megawads would've worked better if they came with a Master Levels style interface, so I could choose to play the maps in any order.

So while several people are silently working on their maps, you're going to take the quickest, simplest one as the only work being done; at all. That's sorta fucking retarded anon.

>buh why is a project set for release around Thanksgiving not have fucktons of screenshots everywhere?
Because some anons work with layout/placement first before making tiny details to make screenshots look good? Would you like to see my screenshots of missing textures everywhere with lots of ugly architecture because you NEED to have some validation that someone is doing something, or I could show you screenshots of textures so you know what a wall is going to look like; eventually.

>why don't we just do the same thing again as last time?
Because that's super boring and can lead to some very lame levels that could've been better given more time.

I've seen other anons complaining that "nothing's being done" because the mappers aren't flooding the thread with tons of screenshots of the random shit they're doing. One map was finished and released on its own, and it doesn't even fit the theme because it was made in such a short amout of time? Cool. Not really the point of the community project, but cool.I really hope the "nazi moon base" gets updated because it really needs to at least have some windows showing that, hey, we're on the moon.

We all know the last /vr/ project got shat out easily because it was "make a map in 3 hours whatever," but this one allows people to put more work and detail into their shit so the overall product can be even better. This also means that it's going to take longer; it's a simple fact, and I'd expect /doom/ to be a bit more patient before trying to change the theme that several people are already mapping for.

Try to make a sequence that's time-based using only scripts that rely on the delay (tic) feature and tell me how well it goes the /second/ you need to adjust something.

It's hell.

Ah, I was more talking about a case in which you have a long set of scripts you want to all play in a line, say, to match music or the like.

It's not setting a variable that's the issue, it's how to time a set of scripts entirely on their own merit so that if the first timing is off or needs to be adjusted, it doesn't fuck everything down the train. The only way I can see to structure is that every event runs off a central delay (which is a great solution if , or that every event daisy-chains together. Both of those aren't very viable though because a tic is a magical, weird number to work with and it's extremely unfun to play with for long-based delays (one again, across something like a song.)

Meanwhile, if I set up a conveyor and can properly adjust it so that an actor moves across it at some measurable rate of units/per second (say 10 units/second) - it becomes much easier to visualize and work with because I'm a big dumb baby. Now I don't have to fuck with tics and now I can more easily match it up with something like a Waveform view or any other chunk of audio.

>> No.2659546

For those working on GLOOME, would it be possible to have a simple sequence feature, without the need for ACS, or what-have-you. So you could have a linedef action that triggers an elevator to come down, delay 1000ms, then door opens, delay 4000ms, door shuts, elevator goes back up. That sort of thing.

On the subject of relative emptiness, how would Exmoor be for a famous location for the /vr/ project? Big grassy area, bunch of hills, chuck a river through the middle. Gameplay would be basically Suburbs: grab the keys in some small cramped houses while loads of monsters wake up outside with the first noise and slowly move towards you.

>By glimpses do you mean being able to see the secret before you can access it?
yes.

in the maze version the secrets are quite nicely hinted.
- why is this apparently dead end so well guarded?
- hmm there is a slightly different texture on the wall at the end of it
- (push on it)
- oh! great!

now you have this open room with some miscoloured wall textures and even one of the secrets is inside the other. i know wolfenstein itself did the same but because it was much more limited in level geometry. i believe we can, as it were, do better nowadays.

one solution
- keep the ssg secret as it is but put a window in the back where you can see the soulsphere instead of just a second door at the back of the secret
- then have a different way round to the back. perhaps it could open only if you find the first secret and have seen the soulsphere.

I think it's related enough, but I had this really shitty theory when I was younger, that I still believe to this day, that several songs on NIN's The Fragile Disc 1, are parts of a scrapped version of the Quake soundtrack.
I mean seriously, take out the vocals on some tracks and they match up fucking perfectly.
The Day the World Went away seems like a PERFECT match to the first level. Starts off slow, ramps up quick, AND, it's Track 02 on that album.
The first level's song in-game is listed as Track002.
Not to mention the guitar riff from The Wretched sounds a hell of a lot like the title screen music.
There's some other similarities I noticed, but it seems plausible enough.
Maybe he made a heavier soundtrack at first, scrapped it in favor of atmosphere, and re-used the original tracks later and just recorded some lyrics over them.

Doom has a lot of untapped story potential, at least on the psychological side. All you have to do is ask questions: Are these really demons from the actual real hell? Why can I kill them with ordinary guns? What does this mean for Earth's religions? What did they get wrong? What did they get right? Doesn't my religion essentially say this fight is unwinnable? What happens to me if I DO win? How can I deal with this spiritually? How can I go back to living life like an ordinary person?

There was just a tiny bit of this in some of the text screens, like with Doom 2's "where are bad people gonna go?" line. I just wish there was more. If it was up to me, that's what would set a new Doom apart from all the dreck and dross that constantly floods the market.

I'm a big story hound, but you're kind of overthinking this. Most of these can have pretty straightforward answers.

>Are these really demons from the actual real hell?
Yes.

>Why can I kill them with ordinary guns?
Because they're on a physical place instead of a spiritual plane.

>What does this mean for Earth's religions?
"Demons are real" doesn't really affect a lot of them.

>What did they get wrong? What did they get right?
Satanism's probably gonna have a hard time spinning this one positively.

>Doesn't my religion essentially say this fight is unwinnable?
No.

>What happens to me if I DO win?
Lives are saved and God gives you a thumbs-up. Or whatever your deity of choice is.

>How can I deal with this spiritually?
Thank your deity of choice for making you strong enough to get through this.

>How can I go back to living life like an ordinary person?

Short version: Fuck that.

Long version: The whole point of secrets is they're supposed to enhance the replay value of a map, by encouraging the player to explore and making them feel like a genius when they succeed at finding something hidden. The trouble is, if they have to restart the map from the beginning every time they mess up their exploration attempts, that actually decreases replay value more than what you gained from putting the secret in to begin with. If the player knows right away it's his own damn fault for messing up, that's one thing, but if he doesn't know why he messed up, it's just frustrating.

i believe the idea is that if you can find everything on first try just by searching for long enough, you won't replay it. if there's stuff you can't get first time round you will want to play the map again a different way to see if you can get the stuff you missed this time around.

i'm pretty sure that's how Use3D thinks, anyway. all his maps seem to have secrets you can lock yourself out of.

i don't agree at all, i should emphasise. for me if i can get 100% on first try i will enjoy it more and am likely to replay it to try to make the route more efficient. on the other hand if i have to keep replaying it to spot the trick i will get frustrated.

but then i suppose different people have fun in different ways. i can understand it even if i don't agree with it. and fortunately there are plenty of maps that do work the way i prefer.

oh ya I was playing that level before and somehow beat it with only getting like one key and not seeing about 80% of the level. I think I've also beaten other levels without getting all the keys or going through a lot of the level. Is that supposed to happen?

There are some levels where you don't have to get all the keys - especially when you've got Boots of Jumping. I really don't think that's possible in this level >>2662828 though.

I recently learned that Blood runs fast as shit even at 1600x1200 if you run it in QEMU. Downside: no MIDI except for the shitty Adlib emulator. Sound works, though.

Sorry I can't into screen capture, but as you can see in the top right, I get around ~200fps average (no frameskipping, although the video encoding did), and thats with SB16 sound (16-bit audio, 22kHz, Stereo, 16 voices).

>> No.2662920

>>2662913
Nice. That shit is too complicated for me. It's the same as a virtual machine right? Why wouldn't you be able to get the right midi working though? Surely just a driver install, emulation or something oughta fix it?

>> No.2662934

>>2662920
>It's the same as a virtual machine right?
In this particular case, yes. However, it can also be run as an interpreter emulator, which also has adequate performance, but not ludicrously fast like the hundreds of fps in blood. I run it that way to play Chasm: The Rift, because KVM (virtual machine) is too fast for it.
>Why wouldn't you be able to get the right midi working though? Surely just a driver install, emulation or something oughta fix it?
Not exactly. QEMU doesn't have a way to work with MPU-401 devices to do native MIDI. It has an Adlib emulator for OPL FM music, but it is inaccurate and tinny. It also has a Gravis Ultrasound emulator, which is incredibly buggy and stuttery, but MIDI does actually work with it.

I'm actually content playing Blood without music. Although I like Blood music (MIDI more than the CD audio), the game has enough ambient sounds to provide atmosphere on its own, imo.

I'm working on a way to bundle a special build of QEMU with a Qt frontend and a FreeDOS HDD image to facilitate playing DOS games.

It's quite the process.

You have to make a hard disk image file containing a bootable DOS partition with Blood installed. I went with FreeDOS and just made a CDROM ISO for Blood. I simply use HIMEMX.EXE (from older FreeDOS 1.0, because Japheth's JemmEx/Jemm386 is a buggy POS). No EMS Manager at all, because games DOS extender handles that, and anything using the Sound Blaster will go apeshit. Honestly, the Windows 98SE Emergency Boot Disk provides a much easier install, but less legal to distribute.

I don't know how well QEMU will work in Windows. I know instead of KVM, which is part of the Linux kernel, there was a "KQEMU Accelerator Module" or something you could install to do some VM hypervisor-type stuff. Even without though, it still is faster than DOSBox, I find.

./qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium -soundhw sb16,adlib -serial none \
-parallel none -vga std -m 64 \
-cdrom "blood.iso" \
-drive file="/home/wilson/projects/dosstuff/dossys.img",media=disk,format=raw \
-boot once=c,menu=on

QEMU comes with a utility called qemu-img to create harddisk images. I'm trying to work with some of the buildable QEMU modules like VirtFS and whatnot so one can just mount directories on their actual machine a la DOSBox instead of creating a dedicated image.

I disabled serial and parallel ports to free up IRQs from when I was testing Gravis Ultrasound. Left em disabled because I don't need them.
The Standard VGA is a generic VESA VBE 3.0 compatible card with 16MB VRAM. A DOS TSR called FASTVID is used to enable Write Combining for Linear Framebuffer and Banked Video modes.

Pseudo-engineer anon here.

Still getting paid to model room spaces and project designs in Doombuilder, work has just become much more sporadic because no one can make up their mind in how they want any of this stuff designed.

At some point, I need to model the whole plant and turn it into a playable level, instead of just these dip tanks. I actually got my hands on the blueprints, so it's possible. I'll know how to best defend our new facility from a demon incursion.
