Why is the screen wavy when I look in Zandro?

WE CAN ALL AGREE THIS IS THE BEST DOOM WALKING ANIMATION EVER MADE BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM ARM SWAYING


seriously though why does the strife guy and other characters move their arm like that

couldn't drawn their arms doing something else

>>2689248
>seriously though why does the strife guy and other characters move their arm like that

Same answer as the last time you asked the question, because they're repurposed Zombieman sprites.

>>2689179

Use OpenGL.

Given the recent release of 50 Shades of Graytall, what's your opinion on jokewads? I'm referring both to jokewads that still have decent gameplay (e.g. Graytall, pol.wad) and those that don't (e.g. Mock 2).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBLTksBvLHc

A remix of the Slime Dweller music from Plutonia 2 wad

>>2689265
whether it's a joke wad or not is entirely orthogonal to the actually important stuff.

if the maps are fun it doesn't matter if the wad is meant to be a joke. conversely if it's annoying to play, deliberately or otherwise, it doesn't matter if it's meant to be a serious work.

I just bought Doom for PS1, am I in for the best console Doom experience of my life or do I have a $15 dust collector (CiB so nice)?

>>2689723
>Doom for PS1
It's considered a good port generally.
It does some of it's own little things though, has it's own set of sounds, lacks a few levels.

I think the Doom releases for last gen consoles were fine, despite small bits of censorship, all the levels are there, and the controls are by far the best console controls Doom has ever had.

>>2689179
Try turning on vertical sync

>>2689723
It's pretty good. Doom 1 levels are based on the simplified Jaguar maps and the framerate can be a bit iffy, but it has a spooky ambient soundtrack, nice coloured lighting, and some cool original secret maps. It's definitely good quality.

I'm gonna ask one more time because I'd really like to see if it exists.
Are there any mods for Heretic that do some weapon re-skinning? Not actually altering the gameplay, just think Smooth Doom but for Heretic. Heretic weapons are just unsatisfying and I'd like to know if there is a mod to change sprites/sounds/animations without actually altering game balance.

What is the funkiest wad?

Sup /DOOM/, a few threads ago there was a dude that said he found a way to play Blood with high resolution and good framerate. He said he'd post a download link to his setup eventually. Did that already happen and I missed it?

>whenever Yholl feels like it until DoomRLA 1.0

>>2689753

>>2689873
what's stopping you from installing qemu? I can't imagine how it's going to run without the actual hypervisor on windows tho?

If you're on linux it's easy as installing the package and if you want an easy to use interface, also install libvirt and virt-manager. Doing this, it'll work the same as VBox, difference is it'll use QEMU+KVM to emulate devices and for I/O between host and guest. You can even run VBox through libvirt if it fancies you.

So, I'm working on a wad that involves a huge sword. So I ripped and tweaked the art from Hexen's Quietus, and put it into the wad. Only problem is, whenever I test it out, it pops up as 'HolySword at (X, X) Has no frames', no matter where I put the png files. They're all validly named as XXXXA0, but they're just not working.

>>2689934
did you put them in the sprites directory, did you format your decorate correctly with all the right brackets and states

does it have a spawn state / sprite

>>2689873
Yup, that's the post. No download yet though? Too bad.

>>2689941

I've loved Doom in all its forms but there's something out to destroy everything we've loved so far
>>2689920 get in there and share your thoughts

>>2690008
The only reason someone gave me why this was a bad thing is because it's hipster trash. Why are people so goddamn worried about it? If anything it'll just die the same way the OUYA did.

>>2689993
In the time that I played years back, there was actually valid reasoning for doing that. If you had time to repair the damage it was more rewarding to do so than to bother defusing the bombs. I don't know if that's changed, but given how slow AOW players are to adapt to new ideas, I doubt that it has.

>>2690036
it was total demolition, 60% to 0% & it could've been prevented.

Not retro, but may be relevant to people's interest:

unrealtournament.com

The new Unreal Tournament got a new release. 3 new fully textured maps: CTF-Pistola, CTF-Face (pic related), and CTF-Titan. There are new gun models, and a progresssion and customization system in place.

They've been streaming gameplay for a while at twitch /unrealtournament

>>2690138
Fuckin nice

>>2690138
Just a warning for people playing the tutorial mode for the item: the CTF training is broken, meaning you can only get 55 of the 60 tokens, which is required to obtain the item.

>>2690143
Noticed that, hope they fix it quick.

Man, doomseeker doens't detect any hideous destructor servers.

Is it just not possible, or people don't play?

>>2690180

Hideous Destructor servers cannot be hosted yet.
When Zandronum updates to 3.0 or 4.0, then there might be.

>>2690190
By the time Zandronum catches up with Hideous Destructor, it will be on version 7.0

>>2690180
Hideous Destructor is pretty advanced, and Zandronum, while having the best multiplayer support, isn't 100% up to snuff with ZDoom code.

Hopefully, Gloom can usurp ZDoom some day.

If DRLA 1.0 doesn't come out today, I'm ending it.

Yholl, please delay DRLA 1.0 just so I can watch >>2690198 suffer and Sarais throw another spergfit.

>>2690202

I don't really want that, but TheZombieKiller is working on an engine named LXDEngine (Not to be confused with the Light X Desktop Environment) which is to be ZDoom with backward compatibility stripped and replaced with Lua.
I'm also on the contributor list but I haven't done anything yet since I've been helping David with getting Lua to compile with GDCC.

>>2690237
>whenever Yholl feels like it until DoomRLA 1.0

>>2690202

...now that explains a lot

>>2690242
It's verbose, alien, and full of leaky abstractions. Engine developers like it because it's easy to embed, but actually writing code in it is complex and error-prone.

>>2690251
Uh, sure, I guess. I really don't want to start a fight over something like this, but I will say that I don't think any of your points are valid.

>>2690235

why do you need an acs bytecode version of lua

>>2690310
I don't. It's a test to see if GDCC can compile a portable C library.

Wait, what? Elaborate on this, what does it replace with Lua? And for gods sake, why?

>>2690414
Decorate, ACS and friends.

>>2690251
>but actually writing code in it is complex and error-prone.
>complex

Lua is literally one of the easiest fucking languages to learn and manage, the single fact that it handles everything smoothly with only 4 data-types and completelly functional programming is a blessing in itself.

Not only that, Lua metaprogramming allows it to wrap around anything, anyhow, anyway. If you think Lua is complex then I don't know what the fuck you're coding with, it's easier than any other language in the market, stat.

And how the hell is Lua error-prone?

Explain
Also you worded that pretty poorly

>>2690761

Of course I do , anon.

Is DoomRLA compatible with Smooth Doom?

>>2690830

No. Why in the world would you think they would be, anon?

>>2690785
That's a really horrible argument and a very poisonous mentality. Please stop that shit.

>>2690783
Ok first off there's no "Drop in detail", you're going on about nuances. Why does it matter if the floor is using rock or grass? If anything the grass is MORE detailed than leaving the whole level as one single texture wrapped through the whole map.

A spinning skybox is not only completely unnecessary, but can be distracting in the heat of battle when the human eyes are trained to follow any motion in the even there's a threat oncoming. Complaining about the lack of a gimmick IS sperging out, not "complaining about a lack of detail". If anything, YOU'RE lacking attention to detail by requesting a distracting gimmicky element.

And finally "the map is really bright". Uh... good? What the hell is wrong with that? A nice, bright map makes it more clear to see where everyone is? It makes it easier to line up shots and notice all the enemies and allies? The new lightwarp it uses FITS THE DAMN ART STYLE?

tl;dr you sperged out and won't admit it.

>>2690832
Also, forgot to mention, the grass makes it much easier to discern areas that can easily be walked on without slipping off the side of the map. I recall that happening all the time the first time I played that map.

>>2690830
With the monsters? I think so, yeah

>>2690831

Because Smooth Doom is slowly taking its place as the politically correct alternative of BD, hell, it even comes with its own share of fans asking if it's compatible with other mods or not.

>>2690841
>politically correct alternative
yeah, if there's one thing i can really get behind, it's smooth doom's stance on immigrants and health care

I was talking about how people seem to be nitpicking both remakes for having a somewhat different look and feel from the games they're based/inspired upon and saying both look shitty for the most part, based on little details. Most people don't seem to like the direction doom 4 is taking aesthetic-wise, and his post reminded me a lot of the many posts that go along those lines.

I like guns with classy wood, in particular weapons which aren't designed as modern combat weapons, where everything doesn't have to be 100% top of the line and all tactical, but for fighting purposes, plastic is better, aside from maybe clubbing an opponent with the stock, but unless it's a flimsy gun like the G36, you'll probably be fine anyway.

>>2690906
thanks /k/

Thank you Terminus

I just don't think plastic on a shotgun is a bad thing. The other guy is right, Doom is in the future, it's not a bad thing (even though wood fits Doom's aesthetic better)

>>2690926
hi, torrid

Hi

What's up

>>2690906
>moisture
>in hell

>>2690936
Nigga they obviously weren't expecting them to be used in Hell, they didn't account for that when designing the gun

>>2690936
Well it's really more of a long-term issue, it's not gonna warp over night.
I think if you can make a practical gun about a pound lighter while still maintaining it's practical capabilities, it's worth it.

Also, pools of blood and sludge, that's moisture. And hell can be lots of things, I'm sure there are near jungle-like hells, dark and damp, with horrid giant insects and large muscled monsters with big teeth (I guess a halfway between a pinkie and a hellknight or something?), vicious things. Maybe monsters which are trees and vines?

Wood super-shotguns are olev though. Pic related is just a cheap-ass Baikal, but cut down the stock and barrel and do a clean job of it, give the wood some classy red varnish, and you have a very pleasant little blaster.

>>2690936
>this nigga don't even know about cocytus

>>2690952
>And hell can be lots of things
Yeah, not so fast amigo. We're obviously talking about the original biblical hell, which is a pit/lake of fire. Any fluid you find down there is gonna be lava or (on a good day) boiling blood. You can't really have jungles or trees or insects that are on fire.

>>2690996

>>2690971
>In Inferno, the first cantica of Dante's Divine Comedy, Cocytus is the ninth and lowest circle of The Underworld

>>2690998
Don't know why you replied to my post. He called it "Inferno" for a reason, didn't he?

>>2690996
>You can't really have jungles or trees or insects that are on fire.
but we can have endless pits or plain white voids, eerie, blood-red castles, or dark, stormy skies above an azure hue surrounding a hellish mountain with bodies and pieces of bodies scattered around. We also have green fire skies and endless bridges suspended in dusk.

nigger, Doom 64 literally has all this. Hell doesn't need to make sense if it doesn't fucking want to.

>>2691013
because Cocytus is a RIVER.

From Wikipedophile:
Cocytus is referred to as a frozen lake rather than a river, although it originates from the same source as the other infernal rivers, the tears of a statue called The Old Man of Crete which represents the sins of humanity.

If there's water, there's moisture. That's all we're trying to prove at this point.

>Arguing about a place that doesn't exist with a plethora of made-up stories with conflicting descriptions

Stupid

>>2691023
It IS stupid, because the concept itself is simple, straightforward, immutable, and universal: There's a place underground, full of fire, where bad people go when they die. And demons are there.

>>2691029
that's like five concepts though

>>2691029
>Universal
You're stupid, unbelievably stupid, nigh inconceivably stupid.

>>2691029
Then let's argue about a fictional place with more finite details: The Hell we visit in D/D2 is mostly hellified human-colonized areas. These areas are obviously, even partially, terraformed, because we DO see water in the Doom 'verse. This means that there is moisture at those areas, or at least on the roadmap for those areas, when the guns were shipped, and hence the appearance of wooden-stocked guns was a poor choice on part of the UAC, and polymer stocks were a better choice.

>>2691029
>immutable
>universal
You dumb motherfucker

>>2691039
Mmmm, not stupid at all.

Good work anon.

>>2691029
>underground
Not in Judeo-Christian values, unless you follow Dante.

>full of fire
The Greek Underworld has few mentions of Fire, more an absence of water.

>where bad people go when they die
Purgatory.

>demons are there
Usually the demons don't hang around in hell, they're too busy messing around up above. Even then the idea of demons has waned in recent years, due to the ACTUALLY-universal concept of "we're all humans, damn it."

Universal, your idea is not.

>>2691047
>Even then the idea of demons has waned in recent years, due to the ACTUALLY-universal concept of "we're all humans, damn it."
Not that anon but could you elaborate? I... don't see how demons are human.

I dunno. I always figured hell is an ever changing landscape. So it could have water, ice, or fire and brimstone everywhere.

It's just a shitty place in general that's out to make your day shit.

Which is why I feel like all doom mods can be canon in my autistic headcanon. Don't judge me.

>>2691051
I'm assuming he means that it isn't that demons tempt us, we just act shitty sometimes

>>2691051
Most classical stories of demons were temptresses and what have you trying to coax you into sin by taking the form of a human (or even keeping their demon look but being like "look how supernatural and sexy I am big boobs wanna fug") but as the world got modern and everyone now has things like social security numbers and cameras are everywhere and even science/medicine is like "hey there's a big ol' pump that shoots red stuff to your digits right here in your chest demons wouldn't have that" we realized that demons just don't and can't exist.

>>2691057
Oh, >>2691056 this too.

we need some /vr/ samsara tbh

>>2691039
>on part of the UAC
>implying that the SSG isn't actually the personal keepsake of one of the men stationed there

>>2691057

I'm not really seeing how social security numbers provide realizations about the nature of demons, but more power to you, mate.

>>2691072
Simple. A demon wants to exist and live to corrupt our modern world, he or she would have to provide due paperwork, and that requires doing all sorts of stuff.

Let's take, for example, paying taxes. Getting a job is probably a little much for an infiltration job for a demon, so they wouldn't pay taxes. Word goes into the IRS or whoever that Joe Shmitt isn't paying taxes, so in come the collectors. Maybe the demon uses his demon magic to coax the collectors into saying he doesn't owe anything... then the collectors go back and tell their boss, who fires them and sends new collectors. Maybe the demon just kills the collectors, but then their boss gets suspicious and sends new collectors. Maybe the demon just gets the heck out of dodge... then he gets plastered all over the news and internet about how this guy just randomly didn't pay any taxes and then disappeared one day.

There aren't a lot of things you can do without (i'm going to use this blanket term:) paperwork nowadays. You can't just demon magic everything, there could be onlookers.

okay it's been over a month, i think it's time to ask for status reports, screenshots of maps in progress and such.

the deadline was i believe thanksgiving which is two months away, so the project is supposedly a third done already, i know it doesn't work like that in practice but i think by now people should have something to show.

>>2691085
>Simple. A demon wants to exist and live to corrupt our modern world, he or she would have to provide due paperwork, and that requires doing all sorts of stuff.
You really underestimate the capacity of a single person to influence another with only momentary contact. You just have to catch them on a bad day to get them to do something they'd regret if they ever thought about it. A proper demon wouldn't even need luck to make that happen, because he'd be able to stalk people invisibly and figure out what would be the best time to manifest a physical form and fuck someone up. And if you think I'm being inventive here, you should read a novel called The Monk... from 1796.

>>2691135

>Don't you think she looks tired?

>>2691117
Fuck man, First time asking this. Cheked the faq and the last thread if some had an answer, im sorry if theres another anon shitposting making that question.

>>2691123

Once I was DMing a Champions game, and there was this guy who designed his character after the concept of inertial and velocity control.
Every time someone fell from a high place, he threw a fit if he wasn't the one to catch them because catching people at high velocities would splat them, while he could slow them down first.
Ignoring the variety of other possibilities that could exist, or ignoring that he was trying to apply realistic physics/scenarios on an extremely narrow scope to something that wouldn't always apply.

That's kind of what this discussion reminds me of.
Sage for not-/vr/

>>2691142
i'm sorry to inform you that the faqs are all two years out of date! nobody updates them any more

>>2691148
That's okay. Doom is an old game. It's not like much can change in two years, right?

>>2691142
Well shit, now I feel like an asswipe.

If you're willing to pay for free software (You shouldn't) you can get D-Touch off the play store, which has a GZDoom port in it. Otherwise, you can download the prboom port from here:
https://code.google.com/p/prboom4android/

Not sure if there's any other good ports.

>>2691151
yes. but /vr/doom gains new frequently asked questions all the time. "is there a / what's the best source port for android" is another.

>>2691134
My status: Still not even started, because the theme isn't very fun/interesting.

>>2691157
Nah man, it's all good. You gave me some good answers and we both are tired of shitposters. I just didn't know at the time. Well, now I can murder some demons anywhere I go. And thats cool.

>>2691128

Dealing with depression and a lack of motivation that stems from that. Which leads to feeling worse because you're not getting shit done

>>2691134
My status is shamefully early, I've been taking things very slowly.
I'm not a good mapper, so a lot of this has just been kind of trying to figure out where things are going.

From what I gather there's about four people working on maps, though, so while it's not enough for a "community pack" it's certainly been enough to get me going.
I've been thinking of releasing these as a standalone pack, sort of get myself out there and learn what's good and what's not.

I am still having issues with this wad I'm trying to make.

I've got a simple sword-stuck-in-ground sprite called FWOR0A.png. It's in the wad/SPRITE/ folder. The weapon itself replaces the chainsaw, and the spawn state is just a simple
> Spawn:
> FWOR A -1
> Stop
But no matter what I do, no matter what I change, it ends up with 'HolySword (X,Z) has no frames' in the console. I am completely befuddled.

>>2691198
Shouldn't it be FWORA0, not FWOR0A?

>>2691253
Wait, yeah, it should.

That's what it IS, I just mistyped it.

Figured out the problem, though. I was running directly out of a folder instead of a zip file. When I zipped it up, that's when it started to work.

>>2691260
Ah, glad you got it working in any case.

Whats a good weapon mod? I've played both MSX and Accessories to Murder and I'm looking for something more.

For the record, I loved MSX and A2M was great except for no easy way to kill cyberdemons and annoying tanks.

Is there a Doom mod that features Turok 2-style blood and gore? I mean streams and blobs that fly out of enemies and splash on the ground, none of the "spiky ball swarms", mist sprites and decal spam that I see all over the place.

does anybody running gzdoom on linux have this problem? I disabled texture filtering but it still stays on. Also, it doesn't have support for my native resolution 1280x1024 but supports a bunch of weird ones?

>>2691317
there was a ketchup mod that had streams of the vanilla blood sprites

anyone wanna play some ctf or dm?

>>2691307

Depends entirely on what you're looking for in a weapon mod.
Might try Weapons of Saturn next, or X-Weapon.

>>2691340
> texture filtering but it still stays on
Nope. Driver setting maybe? If you aren't using proprietary NVIDIA or AMD Catalyst, use driconf.

>1280x1024 but supports a bunch of weird ones
Build it from source. Modify src/posix/sdlglvideo.cpp and add in the resolutions you need.

I just tried out "Ketchup Test 4", single bullets from the pistol explode blood everywhere and monsters pop like balloons and make a fucking mess all over ceilings and walls, there's no options to lower the amount of gore from what I've found, it's way too overkill and unsatisfying, figures when I see the creator's SgtMark... It wasn't what I was looking for but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

>>2691317 Here
I found a mod called "NashGore" That's almost exactly what I wanted! After a bit of editing to the .wad file (making blood not spurt upwards like a fountain, removing gibs, etc.) I got it behaving similar to Turok 2. It's simple, unobtrusive and I like it.

>>2691557
Probably a pretty recent one, sorry. I didn't know that people had issues like that with ZDoom, thought it was mostly the OpenGL 4.0 stuff with GZDoom.
I don't know the specifics, but it does indeed use some very recent stuff like INVENTORY.TRANSFER, sorry man.

>>2691570
don't worry about it. i seem to be the only person who doesn't get on with SDL2 in the whole community, so i don't make a fuss about it.

(and it's not like SDL2 doesn't run at all, it's just really slow for some reason - probably my ancient hardware. it's not like i won't be able to run your mod at all)

I'm going to send a SWAT team to Kegan's house if he drops the ball and skips these monsters that would look great for GMOTA

On Phobos and Deimos, there was the shotgun, which was probably just bought and shipped there to be a weapon for security forces, they probably didn't expect any kind of heavy combat or battlefield usage for them.

The Supershotgun was on earth.

>>2691085
>then he gets plastered all over the news and internet about how this guy just randomly didn't pay any taxes and then disappeared one day.

You know it's absolutely possible to go underground or to avoid authorities, right?
I mean, it'll limit your options for some things, but if the authorities have no records of who you are, they don't know about you. (Also I hardly think the news give a shit about some tax evader going into hiding.)

The state tries to keep things in check but they fuck up all the time, it's not the least bit inconceivable to avoid them provided you know what you're doing, organized crime does it on a daily basis.
Yes, they caught Capone on tax charges, but say that they didn't know who Capone was or where he is? They're shit outta luck then

Crossfire is pretty rad. It's like what might've happened if MSX took cues from CoD instead of Halo. Looks fucking incredible if you play it with one of the recent ZDoom devbuilds with HUD weapon interpolation.

You've tried just using the all-in-one download, right? https://alephone.lhowon.org/games/marathon.html

I came across the Marathon automatically closing bug, it was fixed by deleting the files and unzipping them again (your saves and prefs won't be affected).

I think it had to do with having Steam, Dxtory, and OBS try to hook into it at the same time, after that it started doing that. Close down any programs like that, and see if it runs. Dxtory 1.0.133 and 1.0.132 both stopped it from starting properly until I tried the delete files fix above.

Not to mention how many fucking borderline cancerous children have invaded who praise Brutal Doom likes it's the fucking Messiah and anyone else who plays Doom without any sort of gameplay mod is absolutely fucking insane.
There's no happy middle ground.
This fandom has drilled itself into hell.

It's always been this way on fagchan. Anyone who shares opinions is a samefag, anyone who gets mad no matter how justified gets called a sperg. I swear this place is full of children anymore.

I wish /v/ would stop leaking into /vr/ so much.

>>2692506
Then try to make one, you whiny cunt.

>>2692628
Uh, ok then, I don't agree with any of the other opinons you've said in this thread, and personally think your opinion you've just said is rather hypocritical, but that's just what I think.

Just calm down, dude.

>>2692590
It does though.

Look at this shit. Really amateurish texturing with fake depth mapping (it isn't convincing at all) and for some reason the weapon sprite is a different resolution and blurry as all hell. There's no excuse for this.

>>2692590
He's right, regardless of who he is. Between having Doom for better gameplay and SS1 for the same story told better (and both completely destroy it in every other regard), there's little reason to bother with Marathon. The game is ugly. The texture resolution and detail is nice but the maps use them so poorly that it doesn't matter, and the HUD sprites are nothing to write home about. Sounds are low quality and weak. The level design ranges from nothing special to completely awful, and 80% of the enemies you fight are just recolors of each other with different stats. Music is inoffensive, but also unmemorable. It's notable because it's all Macfriends had and it isn't as bad as, say, Capstone's shitfests, but there's not much point in wasting your time with it when you could be playing something better.

>>2692618
Why are you calling yourself such things? You're the one who enabled him after all.

>>2692634
Why should I calm down? Why is it such a meme to freak out when someone rightfully gets mad about falling standards?

>>2692631
Go place a turd between two buns. Your not a chef, you dont get to decide if its shit or not.

So what pwads should I play as I've never actually fully completed one

>>2692642
Ok, how the fuck did you get Marathon working?

>>2692653
There are hundreds.

>>2692567
I don't even know what those programs are, I downloaded from that link and it still won't run. It just quits instantly.

>>2692659
I know that. I'm asking which ones would /vr/ recommend, for some reason the "So You Want To Play Some Fucking Doom" image loads extremely slowly for me

>>2692642
>>2692643
Well no shit, you're playing with hi-res textures and filters.

That looks fucking hideous in any game, you only have yourself to blame.

>>2692653
Hell Revealed is a good starting point. Probably every noteworthy wad made since has been influenced by it in some way, and it's a good increase in difficulty over the stock maps without being ridiculous.

>>2692672
Oh hey 4ch likes shrinking images now? Well whatever.

Hope this is the right place to ask: Is Strife worth getting on Steam? Heard it's a good remaster but I haven't heard anything about the game itself. Is it any good?

>>2692672
Disabling filters doesn't fix the shoddy usage and alignment of the textures, nor does it make the HUD sprites any less mediocre.

>>2692684
It's unique and I like it, but I'm Orangestar so take that with the same grain of salt that >>2692590 takes my suggestions with.

If you ever played E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, it's kind of like that game.

>>2692631

>Then try to make one

Lol. The last time that happened, he did absolutely nothing. There's evidence in the archives of him asking for suggestions for a map, and nothing fucking happened.

I have no idea how people guessed it was Sarais who was pushing for the DRLA stuff, but my educated guess leads me to believe they let him back in the IRC channel after being blown the fuck out and banned for acting like an idiot in a Zandronum server. How and why, that's none of my business, but it seems like it.

>>2692684
>Is Strife worth getting on Steam? Heard it's a good remaster but I haven't heard anything about the game itself. Is it any good?

Yes to both questions. It took a while to have a legal and quick way to acquire the game, and the effort put by Kaiser for its custom engine it's worth the shot.

>>2692665
GUYS PLEASE, I REALLY WANT TO RUN A MARATHON

Pay close attention to >>2692683
You see how fucking ugly everything looks and the horrible alignment in Doom maps sticks out like a sore thumb?
Yeah.
Yes, filters and hi-res textures do make a huge difference.

>>2692695
>I have no idea how people guessed it was Sarais who was pushing for the DRLA stuff, but my educated guess leads me to believe they let him back in the IRC channel

No, it's because he's been posting incessantly in the DoomRLA thread and being a dumbass.

>>2692705
>No, it's because he's been posting incessantly in the DoomRLA thread and being a dumbass.

Go figure. I don't follow any Doom forums on the internet besides /vr/ so I didn't knew.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don't understand the problem so I just uploaded my Marathon build for you.

Hopefully it's just a matter of unrar and play, once the Dropbox upload finishes.

It's not that mods don't ban dinks, it's just that they typically do it silently these days, just delete their posts and ban them.

Unless it's a particularly egregious case, most mods won't opt to make public examples.

>>2692669

Cacowards season is going to be fun, let me tell you that.

>>2692684
Yes.

>>2692739
Hideous Destructor for best gameplay mod or riot

>>2692642
You didn't turn off the high res texture pack and XBLA HUD in the Plugins section. I'd go do that, in addition to turning off texture filtering. That's pretty much the only reason for the resolution differences.

Secondly, 2 and Infinity improve on it in pretty much every aspect. 1 is indeed pretty rough, but it had some cool ideas for the time if one looks past the low budget assets.

>>2692665
>>2692698
I don't know what to tell you, just unzip what's in there and click Marathon.exe to play. It should be that simple. If not, try closing any programs like Dxtory/Fraps, restart your system, or delete the files and try fresh. You're on Windows, aren't you?

>>2692749

I don't think Hideous Destructor is eligible, anon.

>>2692754
What's up with Aleph's mouselook? It feels so odd no matter how many times I change it

>>2692749
You know, what are the actual possibilities for that award this year anyway? I can't think of any new releases, it's been a bit of a dry year for gameplay mods. I guess DRLA, although it already got a mention with DRPG in last year's runner-ups. Reelism already got one, right?

>>2692569

I thought most of the weapons feel pretty powerful thus far. The crash hammer in particular. I can technically address the lack of weapon variety when I get off my dead ass and add Kustam.

I'm not sure where I can put more combos though. Kustam certainly ain't gonna have any.

Sorry though

>>2692764
While not noticable at the resolutions of the time, the number of possible angles is apparently limited by the game engine. When you turn, it simply applies forces to turn your player's entity around. I'd answer more questions, but I gotta go.

>>2692764

Marathon was the first game with mouselook and the A1 devs are autistic about keeping shit like that "authentic."

>>2692764
part of it is the fact that the vertical mouselook range is smaller than the horizontal range, but the engine acts like they're both ranges of equivalent size. (I.E. when your sensitivity is 5 for both, it moves 5% of the horizontal, which is a significantly larger number than 5% of the vertical.

>>2692778
>Marathon was the first game with mouse look
And...?

>>2692784
>and the A1 devs are autistic about keeping shit like that "authentic."
You sure are bad at reading

>>2692549

that WOULD be cool. But it kinda goes against the nature of the subweapons and where they originate from.

Tell you what though. If I ever make another weapon that shoots big arrows or harpoons or anything like that. I'll look into adding that feature

>>2692784

Meaning there were peculiarities about it that we don't see today, precisely because people were learning from earlier mistakes.

Like how the first cars didn't have seat belts, but now all of them do.

>>2692787
I mean, the way I figure, you'd just need to make a custom scorch mark that looks like a monster pinned by the chest, then something something ACS trickery, fire an invisible projectile.

>>2692774
Either Trailblazer or Gucaster gonna take it

son i don't believe that for a second, can you verify your claims for the rest of the class

>>2692774
>>2692796

Yeah, I can only think of Trailblazer or Guncaster and this is from someone who doesn't like either.
There hasn't been a lot of other really notable releases.

>>2692774
>Reelism already got one, right?

yes, but it's not a gameplay mod, it's its own thing with maps and everything. the only zdoom mod that I can think of that could be considered as the BIG baddie of this year is Smooth Doom

I don't think there would be any objections if they were to omit the award this year

>>2692797

kek

>>2692793

Wouldn't that look weird if the monster is pinned completely flat against the wall? And what about when you shoot airborne monsters? Or shoot monsters from above?

That'd be awful lot of fuckery

>>2692806
>>2692802
>>2692796
>>2692774
This sounds like a challenge.
I wonder if I can make an interesting, fun, and new gameplay mod within three months.

>>2692801
Descent apparently hit on the same exact day as Marathon, so it's a tie. But Descent's mouselook isn't shit, or at least not nearly as shit as Marathon's. It's just a tad slow, not completely unusable.

>>2692832
The only reason Descent has weird mouselook is because you're literally turning a ship.

>>2692838
I would absolutely love a headtracking oculus version of descent or something. Gives you a cockpit with mostly-rear-view mirrors and everything.

>>2692838
Yeah, it's fine. The game is best enjoyed with a joystick anyway.

>>2692838
Now there's a retro game worth talking about and isn't a rip off.

>he thinks Descent isn't a ripoff of Wolfenstein 3D

>>2692872

>>2692880
You can't fly in Wolf.

Marathon didn't bring anything to the table that wasn't already in Doom or System Shock.

>>2692887

We get it, you really hate Marathon, you can stop having knee-jerk reactions to jokes now.

>>2692887
wow, you actually took me seriously

>>2692887
b-b-but rocketjumping!!

oh wait

>>2692887
>Being so blinded by your hate for Marathon that you take an obvious joke seriously

>>2692892
>>2692895
orangestar is kind of autistic and doesnt know your joking
just try to ignore him when he makes an ass of himself

>>2692897
but there is no jumping involved so ?

>>2692905
There's no jumping in Marathon either. In both cases you're just using an explosion to launch yourself somewhere your feet alone can't take you.

>>2692628
Nigga, you are basically eating your own words and you are the ONLY PERSON IN THIS THREAD making a big deal about meaningless stuff.

>>2692908
>In both cases you're just using an explosion to launch yourself somewhere your feet alone can't take you.
Yeah, except one is extremely vertical and the other is maybe knee-length and mostly horizontal.

>>2692916
And they have the same end result, regardless of the verticality. If you want to be anal about verticality, consider the popular speedrunning trick on Map07 where you hit one of the mancubi with a rocket so you can get onto the middle platform without having to kill everything. You can't get up there by foot, but you can with a rocket. Is that not rocketjumping?

>>2692924

If you really want to pick nits to the point where you're saying "all thrusts with rockets = rocketjumping", then yes, that would count as rocketjumping. It also came out after Marathon, so...
Personally, though, I would say that is less rocketjumping and more gaining the ability to lift your leg above your fucking waist.

>>2692904
It happened again! Nice!

>>2692887

Remember:

Report and ignore

Well looks like we know now who was responsible for >>2692616 at least ;)

It's just me,or this thread got as shittier as when BDv20 was released?

>>2692943
Your English is kind of bad, to the point that I have no idea what you're actually saying here.

>>2692815

To try and steer this topic off of "your favorite retro fps is stupid because mine is better", I'd take that challenge.
I've had two in mind that I've been wanting to work on:

1: Gameplay mods done 1999 style, a tongue-in-cheek throwback trying to emulate the old old early Decorate/late Dehacked style of modding.
Lots of gamerips for sprites (did somebody say SHADOW WARRIOR UZI?), Quake/Quake 2/Half Life sound effects, inventory items in the HUD, gun smoke coming directly from the player rather than the gun, and functions mostly identical to the original vanilla weapons.

2: Another take on the "harder monsters" mods out there, but without randomization, without extra fancy items, without any massive gameplay overhauls--trying to create a "dark and gritty" atmosphere like Satanic or Doom 64 with killer enemies and straightforward weapons.

>>2692948
>Another take on the "harder monsters" mods out there
I'm probably alone in this but I'd kind of like to see more mods that individualize the monsters beyond what the vanilla game enabled. Like how in MSX and A2M, they'll be randomly replaced at spawn with several possible variants; specifically, MSX does this to specters, and A2M does this to imps.

>>2692950
You're alone because of the randomization factor. That always leaves a bad taste in people's mouths.

man, I kind of want to reinstall Marathon Infinity in Basilisk II so I can make maps for it
but I'm a lazy fuck and no one would play them if I made any
