They're a set of maps "better than the official maps" designed specifically for Brutal Doom.

For all of Mark's dumbassery, he's a pretty decent mapper when he puts his mind to it. I don't think he really put his mind to it with this, though, he's forcing himself pretty hard and it shows quite a lot in the maps.

gifty explicitly states in the SD project page on the forums that the goal of the mod is a perfect 1:1 reproduction of doom even though small fuckups do tend to squeeze through from time to time

keep in mind though all decorate files for all monsters are made from scratch to mimic vanilla behavior as much as possible, not pitch perfect on-point reproductions

there have been many monster-related behavior issues reported over time as well, such as lost souls being extremely aggressive and most ticrates just being fucked with in general, so non-vanilla behavior is to be expected to some extent

that said really fucking hope it gets updated soon, i sent some doom 64 PR and BFG smooth sprites to gifty not long ago and i just hope he gives out signs of not being dead later this week ffs

Since a ton of you seemed to like it, even if it was my very first attempt at any sort of remix, I guess I'll make some more for you some time in the future.
It was pretty fun to slap together, so I'm gonna do one final mix of it, to add in, or change any last things.

also that edit was pretty bitchin, I liked it a bit more than the original, even though it's just sped up a bit.

it still makes me happy that we're getting fucking mick gordon doing the OST (which judging by what little snippets we've seen so far sounds pretty fucking amazing) and not some nobody doing some orchestral garbage of sorts.

that said I hope we get some proper ambience in Doom 4 since metal is mostly confirmed. I'm hoping for some PSX-esque eerie stuff, at least to a certain extent.

assuming "this sort of thing" means "making tasteless jokes about events in recent memory in which lots of people die", no -- consider the case of the UAC Ultra II release thread, for which 40oz's account suffered no lasting consequences.

it seems clear here the ban reason is spurious. he says, "if that's how you really feel, get off this forum", yet the very next paragraph begins, "but seriously," showing the poster does not, in fact, really feel that way.

in my view, worthy of a warning at best. but perhaps there's more to the story i don't know; the banned poster has a history of such incidents, or the moderator has a sore spot, perhaps he lost a relative on 9/11 (although that's letting his personal feelings cloud his judgement, making his moderation decision very questionable)

smooth doom is pretty fucking solid, but it would become even better if the monsters actually worked and behaved exacly like their vanilla counterparts

but such is the end result when you try to put additional sprites on anything, it either ends up looking pretty awkward in most cases (such as is the case with smooth doom's monsters namely) or you end up with a certain number of incongruities that shouldn't be there

I'll agree on this, Dead Cargo was a good submission for 200 Minutes of /vr/, I'd love to see him make a Vanilla or Boom styled episode for Doom 1, just to see what else he can do with just some basics.

Disagree. The mapping, enemy placement, and pretty much everything is more varied in Doom 2, for better or worse. Even if you think Doom 2 sucks this seems hard to deny, the style of one level vs another can be much more drastic precisely because it's more uneven and weird.

I'm attempting to put together an Unreal texture replacement pack like that "Hexen2 disguise for Doom2" in my spare time, and the vagueness of a lot of Doom 2's textures leads to weird visuals based on how people use them...

so basically a reskin? that's cool i guess. yeah you won't get 100% match because of the weird ways people use textures, freedoom has the same problem, every so often someone will moan that its textures don't match those of doom2 sufficiently well for some pwad to look right. the most common cause for complaint being the warning stripes on e.g. the gray cement textures.

are you also planning to release the unreal textures with unique names (not replacing existing textures) so they can be used as a pack for mappers? that would be great

>> No.2763103

>>2763060
Yeah, a reskin. I wasn't planning on releasing a separate pack, as a lot of the textures have been edited and hacked up to more closely match the Doom 2 textures they're replacing, and I thought people would want the original textures.
(Also I am new to texture stuff, at the moment just exploiting Zdoom's flexibility in allowing you to use files that aren't properly set up)

It looks me a long time to get into Heretic. Playing the maps from a wand start helped a lot--enemies soak up more hits than Doom so it becomes more about resource management than reflexes. Also, I began to appreciate how Heretic's maps are more concept-based than Doom's. They still aren't very realistic, but it's cool to see something like E2M4: The Ice Grotto where they had an idea and stuck to it. I also really like Heretic's use of "house"-style architecture in maps like E1M4.

Endless switch hunting.
Endless key hunting.
Across multiple levels in a hub, with no real intuitive way of making progress beyond hitting a switch and being told basically "something happened".

Trudging about for hours and hours in one hub, now, thankfully, I'd have finished most monsters the first time trudging through most parts of the central hub, but on the other hand, that means there's nothing else to do while looking around for what the hell you're meant to be doing.

I really like the way maps look in Hexen, they're beautiful (it has great aesthetics and design, great music and sound design, etc), good use of textures, nice detailing, very moody, but 80% of the game is spent looking for a key, a switch, a door, a place where your key goes, whatever the fuck that switch just did, etc.

If someone made a megawad for Hexen with the maps styled after Doom, that'd be kickass with Hexercise.

this is actually quite a complicated question, but, these days, assuming support for the deepsea tall patch hack, it's basically unlimited in both directions - cf the waterfall texture in hell ground, or DARKNESS in rush.wad.

however if possible you should restrict to widths and heights of powers of two:

- boom based ports can tile non powers of two vertically, but oddly, zdoom cannot, last i checked.

- however most ports save for zdoom will not handle non power of two widths correctly. for example prboom will repeat the texture at the next smallest power of two (e.g. width 80 will repeat at 64).

i should really fix the last one, i'm pretty sure i know how.

In the original engine, textures are hardcoded to wrap at 128 pixels and only 128 pixels. It was a pretty big blunder by Carmack to do it that way honestly - he could easily have had the renderer take the given texture's height into account, but he didn't bother for whatever reason.

>> No.2765271

>>2765246
Actually, taking an arbitrary height into account would have had the potential to slow the game down considerably since the inner loop would have had to do a ton of divides. But he could at least have had it wrap at any given power of two and let people make textures that were 32 or 256 or whatever high (although 256+ would have required rewriting how Doom's graphics were encoded, but that's not a huge deal really - just use two bytes for post offsets and lengths instead of one.)

>> No.2765293

>>2765246
tangential story: i removed the 128 case from R_DrawColumn and let it be handled by the any-power-of-two-height case and it actually sped it up

i imagine this is because it made the function smaller and fit into cache better but i don't know

when i extended R_DrawSpan recently to handle non-64x64 flats it definitely slowed down a bit, but not enough to care about

>It just needs to be darker with flickering light and such.

Those are sector effects, you change the properties of each sector you want that lighting to occur in. The light level, ranging from 0 to 255 (I think in DB, the default is 128 or maybe 160). Then you can assign effects that act upon that. If you are using the UDMF map format, there are also linedef actions and Things you can place within a sector that give off GL Dynamic Lights (Point lights and flickering lights).

In addition, you can have a GLDEFS lump inside your WAD or PK3 so you can assign lights to Actors or change the brightness of a patch or flat (useful for ceiling lights).

OH OH, LEMME GIVE IDEAS ABOUT THIS ONE.
I always imagined one using the Windows 98 Maze screensaver textures + Windows 3.11 textures.
Map could be a castle-like one (with outdoors and a nice Win98 themed skymap, perhaps the 98 clouds texture?) or a Wolf3D like one, would have some vaporwave-themed music, some sprite PCs on tables as decoration (using the Win98 icons) and other vaporwave-releated stuff

Yea I can't stand how hard centaurs break the flow of combat either, especially since the game throws around a lot of them.
I never got why people didn't like the switch stuff though. Maybe it's because most of the stuff I've just been able to remember, but usually getting a key in one level meant that there are gates to open with said key in all other levels but that one (seven portals, badlands, the second part of the seminary) castle of grief is a bit weird but I already mentioned that place is stupid, and necropolis is as straightforward as it gets.

I have an idea, but I have 0 understanding of weapon making, so this is probably impossible.
Just have a standard bat with no projectiles, and with enough damage to kill anything that isn't a cyber/spiderdemon. Give it a fairly large amount of knockback to.
Now for the tricky part. When you kill an enemy or 2, their corpses become projectiles as they get knocked back during their death animation, and they pierce through all enemies, doing about half damage as the initial hit, and traveling as far as the time to complete their death animation allows them.

Because videogames are not movies, and to make a movie about a videogame, unless it's a RPG, it can only be inspired on it, you can't make a literal translation. The first Resident Evil movie and Silent Hill are the "best" game to movie adaptation ever made, because they dont try to make a 1:1 copy of the game, they just build something over the game's lore. Doom had the potential to be a good movie. They had a nice crew, the plot wasn't that bad (heh just your average Aliens clone, but Doom was suppoed to be an Aliens game anyway, so whatever), their only fault was to shit on the lore and make vampire alien zombies instead of demons from hell, and the extremely poorly directed action sequences (the very same sequences would have been great if filmed by a competent director) Andrzej Bartkowiak was a shitty director that already had directed shitty action movies with shitty action sequences, so, everyone saw it coming.
But even with Andrej being an incompetent director, don't think your childish scripts would be better than his. It would take a fucking James Cameron to make a good Doom movie, and even so, he would turn it down because he wouldn't want to stain his career with an Aliens clone.

Run with it.
Make it almost silent, with protagonist narrating couple of times, audiologs from martian base in which he roams at the beginning and some weird dialogues with hellish entities later, when he is teleported to hell. To be honest, i like to think that maze-like structure of the martian base is caused by collision with Hell and its twisted logic - that can be a good material for them. The idea with AI inside the suit (think about Rogue Trooper comics) and/or some demon/lost soul sidekick would be a fine addition. Make it part-Frodo's journey through the Mordor, part-first third of the last Riddick movie. If the studio has some plans for the sequels - let there be a remnant base of some UAC expedition or part of a base dragged into hell, a tribe of anarchistic imps lead by outcast Archvile who refused to worship the Icon of sin, an orden of crusaders trapped in hell since medieval remaining knights of which went full illuminati and eventually became UAC, the possibilities are fucking endless.

what - if anything - would you replace the partial invisibility with?

restrictions: it is a mid tier powerup so it should not be as powerful an artifact as an invulnerability. but should be generally useful, not situational, like a radsuit, or goggles.

my answer: keep the invisibility effect, because it's cool. if asleep, monsters do not wake up if they see you. unlike zdoom this does not depend on your movement speed, i think that's stupid. if already awake, they can still sense where you are to know what direction to shuffle in, but on top of (or in place of) the accuracy reduction, it greatly reduces the chance of their firing at you at all, with increasing range outside of melee distance. implementation: reduce the chance of them making a successful line of sight check, with increasing distance, while the powerup is active.

Prologue: Doomguy on Earth. He gets discharged, and is contracted by UAC Labs on Mars for a security job.
Act 1: A demonstration of new teleportation technology goes to hell. Doomguy dies during the evacuation, but drags himself from Hell. He enters the Phobos base through the hangar and makes his way to the laboratory. He fights two Barons of Hell here.

Act 2: Doomguy dies again in the laboratory, but is teleported to Deimos. He moves through the Deimos base and makes finds out that Deimos is in Hell itself. He fights the Cyberdemon. He jumps down into the inferno.

Act 3: Doomguy pushes his way through Hell, guided by heavenly voices telling him how to stop the invasion. He fights the Spider Mastermind, and is teleported back to Earth.

Epilogue: Doomguy finds out that the invasion already started on Earth, and that his pet rabbit is dead. He gears up and confronts a horde of Hellspawn in the ruins of a city. Roll credits.

make it so it's at the challenge level that feels right for you. if it's fun for you it's likely to be fun for others. after that listen to testers who are sure to say "this part was too hard/annoying". it's an iterative process.

You can do lots of sectors (doesn't look that great if you walk into it and is difficult to do) but I'm using transfer_brightness, which I believe is from ZDoom.

One of my favourite "unknown" games is called Spellcross, a turn based game of modern military versus forces of darkness.

I managed to find a way to gain the graphics from this game, and I thought about making a monster pack (maybe wad too?) from them. But being almost top-down and simple, do you think it's worth it?

Keep in mind all enemies have animations and 8 directions needed to complete.

which continues through a chain of replies following. this basically concluded it was dead. then, to the best of my knowledge, nothing more was said about the project since those posts. so i quietly* dropped it from the most recent opening post.

however, i am not the organizer. i was only using my own judgement of the situation. so perhaps i was premature. but the fact remains you're the first person to even mention it for two weeks. i will cheerfully put it back in or link to updated rules etc. as people desire.

speaking of wads made for mods, is there a megawad that has level themes, textures, and monsters from all the iwads? Would work well for Samsara.

Demons from Doom, monsters from Heretic and Hexen, aliens from Duke Nukem, etc?

Someone should get on that. Someone who isn't me.

Or barring that, a mod like FKER, which swaps out enemies with enemy variants, except this time they'd be being swapped out with enemies of similar strength from other iwads

It didn't help that, while people were working, there were anons in the thread complaining about the theme and trying to change it. Fun Fact: there's an anon who was mapping for a completely different theme because he legit believed that the theme had been changed because of the funposting. As another anon said, it'd be better if the theme was something waaaaaaay easier, like only having so many monsters or some shit like that, since taking extreme liberties with real world things is "too restrictive."

Who knows? Maybe there's going to be some huge update where a bunch of news about it gets posted; however, it seems like even the person suggesting the theme didn't think it would even get done. Personally I'm not surprised when the majority of posts was shitting on the original theme, and complaining, instead of anons posting progress. Also looking at the responses to the "how's the mapping going" it's possible anons simply dropped off, but this happens to quite a few community projects.

What I'm really confused at is what you mean by, "another /vr/doom project has failed." What other /doom/ projects have there been that have failed? The only ones I know about are this current failure and the 200 minutes of /vr/.

sorry for the misunderstanding, i was referring to the sentiment expressed in that memorable "i am not shia lebouf" post that pointed out /vr/doom had been failing to even start another project despite having talked about it constantly since 200minvr was done.

having a bunch of anons respond to that with "right now we're definitely doing another project!" and actually starting but still having it die ignominously, well, i would see that as quite embarrassing.

>> No.2769682

That's probably because the anons saying, "/doom/ is failing to do a community project," aren't even mappers themselves.

I don't know why someone anonymous would be embarrassed, ever, unless they started a community project just to prove one anon wrong; but that'd be incredibly dumb.

In an anonymous project you're basically waiting to see whether complete strangers are going to cooperate in an extremely lax manner; this is a hobby after all.

PAX Aus had a little ZDaemon tourney with 64 players (65 due to a signup error), it was fun but mostly "who can kill the people that have no idea how to play the most" since there wasn't any 1v1-ing. even the final was just the top 3 of the 4 servers, so it was a clusterfuck of 12 people on Dead Simple with the BFG spawn constantly getting nuked.

Every community is going to have some criticism.
I'm more than happy enough with how my people receive my projects with actual criticism and feedback rather than lickspittling, and I like how people actually speak their minds here rather than just try and snark away in private chatrooms.

If "they don't map!" is the biggest criticism someone can give, well fuck that.
You might not map, but you aren't afraid to fucking speak your mind, for good or bad. And I value that far more than any other community.

I've seen too many modders that refuse to hang with anyone other than other creators because, ugh, the FANS bring CRITICISM and FEEDBACK and they're WRONG and DUMB and DON'T UNDERSTAND. Just recently I saw in a chatroom how someone was banned for no other reason than the admin didn't like his opinions. After shittalking him endlessly behind his back in another chatroom, without ever fucking saying anything to his face.
That attitude is fucking disgusting.

If I make something, and you don't like it, you fucking tell me it's bad and you don't like it.
If I say something stupid, you call me a dumbass.
This is far more valuable to me than any other community can give. I can't grow as a developer if I sit in a vacuum chamber of "good job!" and "oh real fun <3 <3"

I lurk the zdoom forums and I strongly get the impression that it is an absolutely MASSIVE circlejerk in the chatrooms. I even saw somebody brag about how they laughed at people who posted bug reports.

I get a bit pissed off with over-enthustiastic bug reporting sometimes but gloating about how superior you actually think you are?

Yup. I think you need to have something to convert the .pngs into doom lumps. I almost want to say I used ImageMagick's "convert."

But one could also just throw contents of the /res directory into SLADE, convert all pngs to lmps from that, place S_START and S_END Markers to stick the BLD2** sprites in between and save it as doomretro.wad.

Awhile back, Brad Harding neglected to take Unix's case-sensitivity into account when the sourceport searched for wads, so it might not recognize "doomretro.wad". but "DOOMRETRO.WAD".
This should have been fixed, but I haven't checked. Just a heads up if you get that problem.

>> No.2770537

I just went through all of the contents on the git repo. Neither the GNU Makefile, CodeBlocks, Visual Studio, or XCode Project Files, contain any references to the WAD.

I think Harding puts them together manually. doomretro.wad is placed into msvc/Release/ so all the files are in the same place to be packaged.

Ah ok, thanks for explaining. I have to take some responsibility for complaining about the theme. I was trying to explain why I thought the pickup rate was so abysmal but I could easily have put people off.

I did contribute - I made the Nazi moon base. I know that's technically not fitting the theme and it wasn't the best but that's the best I could do with my limited skills and ability. I certainly couldn't do any impressive ZDoom stuff like what was implicitly expected with Z& compatibility.

I had planned to make more maps but real life, especially uni, got in the way. I also realised that while I could think of a few interesting ideas, I simply don't have the skill to do them justice.

I think that's the biggest problem with the theme - not that it's creatively restrictive but that it's really restrictive (I think) in mapping skill required. I know there's a case to be made for only wanting good maps anyway but on an anonymous Indonesian shadow puppet image board it's probably too much to expect that more than a few people are really skilled at mapping.

To take the "skeletons" theme that everyone was mocking, it's at least easy - everyone can do a skeleton-related map. I still think it's obvious and been done to death and I don't recommend it as a theme but I do recommend something that people of all skills can do. That's why I recommended a nature theme - just grab some nature textures and off you go.
And now an unrelated point:
>>2770020
>>2770431
I got permabanned from a non-Doom-related forum I'd contributed to for years for rubbing up the moderating clique the wrong way. Cliques seem to be endemic to forums with names.

Why would you think that? Keep working on it. Just because a mod came out doesn't mean you have to cancel yours.

I want to finish it, I really do, but it really becomes a huuuuuuge drag 1/2 of the way through.
I don't know what it is with that time period, but there's quite a few levels that lower the shit out of all the brightness and then add tiny little lights so you can barely see where you're going. I like some good contrast, but when your whole level is in a dark ass cavern so dark I can't see the enemies; that's when I got a problem. Even worse is when it's a base or some shit and it's still fuckin' dark. I mean damn, at least put in some light amp goggles.

Map02, Nullen Precinct, by Thomas van der Velden is still my favorite map that I've played through, and I'll probably end up just demonsteele'ing through the whole thing.

What's the best way to prevent Visplane Overflow in vanilla doom? Just deleting sectors? Or is there a method I'm not aware of?

I've seen a lot of more detailed maps than mine in vanilla, but for some reason I can't grasp how this works...

>> No.2771776

>>2771714
A visplane is any unique combination of floor / ceiling texture, height, and light level.

A sector in view will generally spawn 2 visplanes, one for the floor and one for the ceiling.

However, under certain circumstances, visplanes with the exact same properties can be merged. In other circumstances, though, a single sector can spawn multiple visplanes. It's kind of complex.

Nowadays, the best way to avoid visplane overflows is to test in chocorenderlimits or use the Visplane Explorer plugin in GZDB.

Read the Doom wiki:
http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Static_limits#Visplanes

You should get Visplane Explorer if you're using DoomBuilder, it really helps visualize how visplane count is affected by things, and shows where the game can crash.

Personally I had a big visplane problem when I tried to make a detailed pentagram in my map, I thought it would be simple as technically it was two sectors and only two different textures, but the way Doom's renderer works, it was splitting it up into a ridiculous amount of visplanes, and I had to hide its ceiling half by changing it into F_SKY.
Picture related (pardon its size), it's said map in Chocorenderlimits, note the high amount of visplanes (PLN) onscreen despite the relatively simple scene. It's almost all in that pentagram.
