Also unrelated to your question, I noticed your stairs aren't building correctly - if you step out of the starting area and turn the nukage into ground, then activate the stairs, practically the entire level will raise up and break. What's happening is the top step has a linedef that leads to the floor of the room, and if the connecting sector is the same texture it will raise it.
Flip the linedef circled in the picture and things should be fine.

Hm, been debating on different effects for this secondary fire.

When you directly shoot a monster, the beam collects, shrinks, expands and then contracts sharply into an explosion which I'm gonna try to make cooler, except I'm fucking garbage at making good visual effects.

I'd give it negative thrust forces to draw monsters in, but Zandybam.

I don't have them implemented yet but I'm thinking:

It has gone down in quality and speed. It hasn't gone down AS MUCH as /vg/ circlejerks, which is why I'm still here.

Some generals are just heartbreaking now. Like why does every game have to get sexualized by someone? There's a guy writing rape porn for Vermintide who posts constantly. Like, fuck off.

H-Doom and stuff doesn't bother me, because it's not inserted into every fifth post in an obnoxious manner. And I think it's more humor than actual wankbait, although I could be wrong.

They mostly go on /v/. Their /doom/ board is completely dead, and /vr/ is about as active as Terry Schiavo.
The threads rarely reach more than 100 replies, half of them are stale recycled shitposts ("why does everyone hate brutal doom???"), the other half is a strange obsession with talking about things from here (someone took offense to talking about Shiga's halloween quest, lol), with very little actual Doom discussion or modding discussion.

Love it or hate it, for 'chan discussion, 4vr is really the only viable option. It's not like this place is perfect, but the other options simply aren't even an option.
8doom has absolutely nothing, 8vr's flickers of a pulse can barely be considered life, and 8v is more obsessed with flinging trash than playing video games.

TrenchBroom is the easiest of the two. It's the perfect tool for pure architecture, building stuff with it is effortless when you know your way around and know the shortcuts.

Love the map, the fun factor IS there, and it doesn't feel like a simple corridor full of enemies.

The start of the map is somewhat more difficult than the later bits; there are more enemies, and the chaingunner sometimes sneak up on me. Some rooms feel empty, but is not a serious detriment.

Good texture variety and fun map. In my opinion, you should make a little more detail on some of the empty rooms and make the last one a bit more challenging.

I took way too long because I tried to make a webm of the map but failed miserably; it used way to much space, or the quality became shit.

Keep up the good work, man.

Working on that right now, though I'm talking with Yholl on figuring out what effects the beam should have when you shoot walls/ceilings.

I've also been contemplating the blursphere weapons, I might give a few of them have no ammo use or regenerate their ammo, but the tradeoff would be you can only carry one of them at any given time.

Basically it's bringing elements from both games, unoriginal, but it's meant to be a homage. Unreal's Automag and Turok 2's Mag60 are combined, the Eightball and Scorpion are merged together, Firestorm Cannon + Minigun, PFM Layer + Razorjack, some sort of delayed explosion screaming weapon (the Tek Bow is awesome), use of silent weapons, etc. it's still heavily WIP on how it's going to work out (and bloody ambitious), but with so many things to do I'm hoping that even if I did run out of steam I'd have something in a playable state to show.

I'm unsure what to do for the SSG replacement right now, but the Shredder doesn't fit its role very well. I currently have that Shredder-like Ripshotgun as a Rocket Launcher replacement, but I'd rather the RL replacement be a more traditional explosives weapon. The current shotgun replacement is a sibling to the Stinger from Unreal. I might have to pull a Demonsteele and have two separate characters with different arsenals, but that's getting way ahead of myself... I'd rather focus on what's right in front of me at the moment.

the upper upcoming point in the bridge leads to a room with a cyberdemon enclosed in a small pillar with yellow bars, and the lava underneath the marble enclosure is a dead end with a radsuit and a teleporter which only leads to the lava below the aforementioned cybie pillar room with a second radsuit, a non functioning teleporter (the way I came from) and a yellow door which i for obvious reasons can't open

This is bad? UT is significantly faster.
>and the guns in both games feel and look wimpy as shit?
I think the guns in both games look alright (UT doesn't have all the models finished yet, by the way). Can't comment on Doom's feeling. UT feels pretty good, but some sounds need work and they've acknowledged this.
You're equating them here, though. I asked why D4 is better.
>they're both unfinished and in early alpha state (at least doom 4 is afaic, don't know anything about the other, please correct if mistaken)
UT is on pre-alpha. Doom 4 is on alpha, yes.
The validity of the terms in these cases could be discussed, though. Doom's alpha seemed more like a stress test, UT should be called alpha at this point.
> straight up hd remake
It's not.
> if only for the fact that it incorporates other stuff besides prettier graphics and added kickslides

you asked to know why did Doom 4 looked better in my eyes, and if you want me to expand upon that, it's mainly because the devs have chosen to deviate from the omnipresent SSG josting and BFG hogging in the Doom II's MP to elaborate on newer features involving light parkour and glory kills and the such which imo flow better with the style of play they're reaching for
but if you want me to expand on the guns themselves though, I can safely tell you that Doom 4's guns do feel somewhat wimpy and need some sever balance brough to them (the devs acknowledged this and took proper feedback on this thankfully) whereas UT's guns feel severly lacking in almost every way I feel, but I guess I should save up on criticisms at this point seeing as I might very well be wrong
>UT is on pre-alpha. Doom 4 is on alpha

I understand, but this is a comparison of Doom 2 and nuDoom (if I might refer it to like that, to avoid confusion and because it's fun) not nuDoom and UT4.
However, there's the implied message, and correct me if I'm wrong, that nuDoom changes Doom's multiplayer in a significant way, removing long standing flaws and adding new features to it; but UT4's doesn't fix the flaws of previous titles or shake the formula enough for your liking. Correct?

It's worth nothing at this point, the main difference of spirit between the titles: While Unreal Tournament 4 is Unreal Tournament 4; Doom 4 isn't Doom 4, it's just Doom.

About the guns, a lot of them don't feel as strong as they should. But many animations and sfx are incomplete, and most sounds and some guns are still placeholders. Not to mention gore.

>[changelog/roadplan request]
Alright. I'm probably going to miss stuff, by the way. Some changes willseem minor but I want to be somewhat thorough

New movement:
Walldodging
Wallrunning
Shardjumping
Rocketjumping
Liftjumping (a legit, non buggy form)
Crouchsliding
Rocket boots (not jump boots)
*Vehicles. Land and air.

Weapon changes:
Hammer secondary launches a wall of air that destroys projectiles and pushes players away based on distance travelled
Enforcer secondary fires a burst
Bio rifle primary and secondary, on hit, will make all other goo on the ground follow you and damage you. Holding both firemodes makes the gun fires faster, but goo won''t stick to the ground. You can charge a secondary blob or join smaller pieces of goo with the linkgun secondary to make webs.

-cont-

>> No.2774839

>>2774827
[I forgot to put rampdodging on movement. Woops.]

Keepign on with weapon changes:
Shock rifle secondary blocks enemy fire.
Pulse gun changed to Link gun: Secondary can be used to link to other players using Link gun to multiply their damage. Secondary fire heals vehicle/control points. Holding secondary + primary pulls players towards you.
Ripper projectiles can be directed while on the air.
Minigun changed to Stinger Minigun: Secondary fire launches a shard projectile that can be used as a stepping point for trickjumps.
Rocket Launcher can only load 3 rockets now, fires them in a burst, effectively combining previous fire modes (cluster and horizontal line).
*Vehicle gamemode weapons. This includes vehicle monted weapons and weapons effective against those vehicles.

Maps:

This is obvious, as you pointed out. New maps are being added. The mapping tools, however, are a lot stronger and Epic has a really detailed documentation on them.

New gamemodes:

Showdown
Bombing run
*Onslaught/Warfare (hopefuly the later)
*Vehicular CTF

General modern game things:

It's free, with hats and leveling.
*Matchmaking.


Things marked with * are not in yet.

A baron needs about 5 or 6 double barrel blasts to kill it, and that takes way too long, considering you aren't allowed to strafe in the hallway and he's just advancing towards you.
Couldn't use rockets because it's too close contact.

Anon, each punch does 45 damage. With each punch taking five tics, that's a maximum DPS of 315. It's crazy strong for a Doom weapon.
Also, consider that Strength's damage boost adds a 1.25 damage multiplier to all melee across the board; adding a third multiplier with combos means damage increases exponentially with every rank.

I can understand "gun mode is much more immediately effective" (because seriously, it way fucking is), and I can understand "base punch damage should be increased" (Hae-Lin's sword damage is 60 per hit), but punches definitely do hurt quite a bit.

Honestly, this mode is one I'm seriously concerned with.
In the most recent git build, I have it so that everything costs two notches, and side special stunlocks everything in a radius around you and gives them a 2.25x global defense debuff to all damage. It was previously 3x but then one shotgun blast took out a hell knight so OKAY THEN.
Back special is cloaking device that also renders you intangible to ranged attacks, lasting 20 seconds. Melee/explosions still hurt. It's pretty useful for sneaking in close.
Forward special is fucking useless and needs changed because it was fun but god damn it's useless for anything but swinging around.

I'm worried about how stupidly OP these are/aren't, and I'm not entirely sure how to adjust the values to compensate. Do I make them cost more? Last less? Different radius? Longer start-up? Etc.

I think the other two modes need to be overpowered at what they do because Gun mode basically covers everything and fits her actual playstyle and design the best with absolutely no downsides while the other two are not built with her weapon/movement in mind

I also feel that tapping the booster should result in a standard dodge that takes however much of the meter you feel would balance it out, because her booster is very.. Imprecise and you have to work around it's flaws.

Example:
>Boost too little and you eat the projectile
>Boost too much and you are frictionless and sliding on ice
>Can't tap to boost because it's not nearly enough to dodge
Only ever use it to get to places I was previously at faster as a result.

I really like this idea.
Punch, and it punches too, shoot and it shoots too. Would give her melee attacks a LOT of extra range, able to knock dudes silly at a distance, and would allow her to get some extra oomph on ranged attacks.
I have no idea how I'd be able to code it, though. Maybe an entity that follows at a specific distance, like the buttshield, but reacts to the player's inventory, so it knows when the player is shooting or punching? Man I dunno.

>>2775582
>I also feel that tapping the booster should result in a standard dodge that takes however much of the meter you feel would balance it out, because her booster is very.. Imprecise and you have to work around it's flaws.

I'll take another look at the booster.
It sounds like one thing that might go well with the problems people bring up is that the speed isn't dependent on pitch/height, but rather on how much fuel is left. More fuel means a much faster boost. Less fuel means a slower boost.
Ergo, if you're tapping it, you don't use much, and you have a massive lunge to dodge. If you hold it, you can maneuver longer, but as fuel deprives it dies out.

Could always just make a sort of ghost afterimage in third person and put some extra transparent sprites while attacking or something so the player knows what is going on.

>How would you feel about a fuckoff minigun?
I'll take it.

Also just to mention it is not really the guns she has are bad so much as when there is large numbers of enemies she can't actually deal with them so good. Her options for crowd removal outside of melee forward special is her shotgun and grenade spam. Both of which are tap to shoot and require a fair amount of accuracy.

Single pistol? Not very useful for groups(Really powerful in gun mode though)
Dual pistols? Same issue as single pistol but the burst fire makes it pretty good on hefty enemies(Gun mode only though)

Is a fuckoff Minigun going to be her BFG replacement?

Also
The main thing about the booster right now is that it is made for long range playstyles only.

Hae Lin works well in melee because the lunge is basically made for it.
>Dodge goes forward
>Easy to control
>Can use it up close
>Only need to guide it's direction

Even if Shihong's booster changes only in melee mode to something easier to use it would help her a lot.
Right now she is best in Gun mode because her design compliments it the most(Also that firepower, god damn. )
Melee mode only really shines for the specials(That uppercut mostly)and her sword.

Ghost mode could just be full on utility or something.

It's a name get over it, sorry yours isn't as cool.

anyway, what are the best settings for co-op, in vr's opinion?
In DOOM, you can just respawn immediately where you died, and I don't think that's very fun or interesting.

In cod zombies, a player is "down" if their health reaches zero. Here they lose their powerups, such as double max health, speed reload, etc. If they are not "revived" by a team mate in time, they die and lose their weapons, and the next round they respawn next to the players with their pistol. They can spend their points to get stuff.
So player downs/death punish by
1. reducing player effectiveness
2. focusing enemies on fewer players, giving each player more stress
3. less firepower to deal with the enemies
4. fewer players around to revive other downed players

In halo if a player dies, his inventory is left where he died. If his teammates clear the immediate area of enemies, he can re-spawn (and then hopefully pick his stuff up). He CANNOT respawn until the area is clear (sort of).
If everyone dies before anyone respawns, the game starts from the last saved "checkpoint"

And speaking of checkpoints, is there a way to save and load co-op games? I feel like I've done it in PRboom+ at one point...

Reversed? I'm pretty sure it's the same as the other alt-fire specials. Hold fire, hit alt-fire.
Code-wise, though, I can very easily add the ability to hold it like the Acacia's. Won't be difficult at all, it'll just be a simple loop at the end of the lift animation waiting for Fire to stop being held.

>>2776127 Again, was just trying to use the grapple and I think the problem it has is that you're forced to swing Kharon first before you can shoot your grapple, and the grapple is such a small and precise projectile that I end up holding fire down until I can get a good shot off with alt fire.

I also noticed that for some reason you can hold down altfire with the sheath to delay your swipe, it would be nice if the grapple command was altfire+fire for almost instant grapple attack (and it makes sense as Hae-Lin's readying the sheath), but then it wouldn't be the same input as other specials. Mind you it's the only "special" that doesn't use souls, so it could okay with a different command?

Come Zandronum 3.0, it'll have the Reload and Zoom keys. The Zoom key will be a dedicated "special" button--rather than having to push fire, then do whatever else, you'll just need to push Zoom and then direction/alt-fire.

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Multiplayer#Savegames

>It is possible to create savegames in multiplayer (useful for cooperative gamemode). When saving, the save is written on each computer using the same filename between each. Loading a savegame, however, must be done from the command line. Both the host and each joiners must use -loadgame name_of_savefile in addition to -host or -join. It is not possible to load while the game is already in progress.

Interesting...
so if Zdoom has this then by extension, so does Zandronum, right?
So Doomseeker would need a feature added which allows you to put a savename in and load that on server join.
Or even better, the server has the savename, and doomseeker loads that savename if you join the server.

But wait, zandronum starts the game and lets people join it, whereas Zdoom waits on everyone before starting.
Obviously this won't work with save state loading...
So someone would have to put multiplayer save state loading into zandronum.

I like detailed maps with lots of pathways, but when you're just stacking more and more tiny pathways on top of each other and forcing the player to find a tiny switch in a tiny corner then that's when it becomes fucking annoying.

>> No.2778372

>>2778360
It's not just the crampedness, it's also how 3 levels (almost back to back) are just modified versions of tricks and traps; however, instead of the rooms being able to be done in whatever fashion you want, you have to follow a super specific path with absolutely zero deviations besides maybe 1-2 extra rooms that just have health/ammo in them.

Maybe it's because I map what I like, so I have branching pathways that can be done in almost any order so the player isn't stuck looking for one fucking button in order to open the one door to find the one key to unlock the other one door and press the other one button.

>making me open up CC1 again
Goin' Down and Termination Center are the ones that are bad versions of Tricks and Traps. I thought "Flow" was like Tricks and Traps too, but it was just another map I really didn't like; I was retroactively associating it with the other two.

I could go on and list all the other bad ones that just aren't fun, but then I'd be listing almost all the maps.

>making me open up CC1 again
heh, sorry.

i wondered if you were going to say No Tomorrow (map12) or Another Dead Hero (map13), those were the ones that stuck in my memory as being intractable.

of those you mentioned:

i skipped map06 (Goin'Down), more or less. the opening was too annoying and i never went back to it. all Magikal's maps tended to be intractable. i take it you didn't get as far as his map29 (Citadel at the Edge of Eternity). or you should see Industrial.wad, which i think was his first release. oh well, he's dead now anyway.

map09 (Flow) along with a couple of others was part of a mapset named Redux. it was explicitly designed for continuity not pistol starts, so it was not a good idea to include it in cchest.wad.

map10 (Termination Center) i didn't have any trouble with, you just explore it, yes i suppose it helps if you do it in the right order but i don't recall it being impossible if you didn't.

>No Tomorrow
That's where I usually stop playing. I've been through CC1 with GMOTA, Demonsteele, and MSX but I haven't been able to finish No Tomorrow with any of them; not because I can't do it, but because they're such a slog that I don't care to play it anymore.

There's something about that whole yellow key part that I just don't like. The running jump between the two platforms is cool, but something about the whole level is such a huge turn off that I haven't been able to finish it yet.

I've played through Another Dead Hero, and it felt like a mini slaughterwad to me; like, th beginning layout is staggered stairs and almost all enemies are able to see/shoot you off the bat. I loved Nulleth Precinct so much, and I thought there'd be more maps like that; ones that stood out in contrast to other maps like a real assortment. Instead I feel like I got a bag of skittles after someone ate all the purple and reds but left one green amongst a pile of orange and yellows.

Bored, so messing with the old press-release Doom beta (October 1993, I think?)

I don't recall the released version having this feature (although source ports did later).
There is an automap mode that allows you to see all monsters in the level (the little green marks here) and a feature to mark any area on the map you want for future reference (see the gray number 1 here is a mark I made).

Am I just remembering incorrectly, or was this feature scrapped?

For anyone who wants to play the latest revision of Combat ReDuX that was posted on /idgames recently under GZDoom instead of Zandronum, here is the fix:

In combat_redux.pk7, go to actors/monsters/hellknight.txt
On line 15, remove or comment out the line "var int user_attackTics"

Since the Hell Knight definitions are inherited from the Baron of Hell definitions, which already contain "var int user_attackTics" (and also assigns it a value of 2), that line is redundant, and will cause GZDoom to dump out an error when parsing.

Everything works fine.

nowadays anyone-can-join is the norm and mapping-by-invitation projects are uncommon, btsx is probably the most well known one, even dtwid started as a community project but was selective.

this means now it's easy to find enough people to make 32 maps. cchest and cc2 both had "filler" - maps released previously that were included just to fill in the gaps because most mappers already had team projects or were too elitist to join.

>At least the weapon animation is far more expressive.
you've literally only seen the reload for the pistol and nothing else.

and comparing them to a game which has weapons that, say, do not even need to be reloaded at all. I mean, i get what you mean, i don't think i'm all that fine with the standard shotty pump animation either and they could certainly come up with much better ones, but still.

at least the devs will be aware that we'll let them know if so. Fallout fanboys are so deep up in bethesda's anus they will literally make the game become a commercial success regardless of quality because they know people are already determined to suck their foreheads nice and shiny.

having said that, no, I don't think it will.

I was wondering why I was having such an easy time when I tried out Brutal Doom, all the weapons are stupidly unbalanced. for example Brutal Doom's normal shotgun does basically double the damage of the vanilla doom shotty (7d3*9 vs. 5d3*7), while monsters are kept at relatively the same health. Even if you play in "classic mode" the shotgun does more damage than normal (8d3*7, what the fuck).

>> No.2781175

>>2781162
But enemy attacks are faster and do more damage too. Doesn't that kinda make up for it? I think the whole point to giving the weapons more damage output is to make the player feel more powerful, not decrease the challenge. At least that was my experience with the mod.

From what I can see in the files enemy attacks are actually pretty much the same, except in the case of things like Revenants and Barons. Some monsters have a lot of delay before they do anything, like Imps and Hell Knights standing still and yelling at you while you shotgun them in the face, and Chaingunners take twice as long before they start shooting. Not to mention all the hitscanners have been changed to fire projectile tracers, meaning they're avoidable at long range and can't shoot through decorations. Also, the Blursphere replacement.

Basically I feel that Brutal Doom makes the player overpowered so they feel like they're good at the game, and the extra difficulty levels are to "balance out" the weakening of the vanilla difficulties. All the while the player is wooed with eye candy, it's probably why it (Brutal Doom) got so popular.

>> No.2781318

>>2781306
Enemies are more relentless and have fireball attacks.

Ambushes are a lot more lethal in general.
This is more noticeable in tougher mapsets, easier levels will be much easier because enemies are better at sustained combat rather than short quick battles.

>> No.2781319

>>2781306
Personally I play Brutal Doom on Realism Mode just for bypassing how easy it makes most of the game to turn it into a nightmare. At 100 Health and Armor, the lessened overall endurance of both enemies and the player plus the raised damage basically means a single imp fireball to the face will put me at 30 health.

Explosives and large numbers of hitscan enemies are a goddamn nightmare, and I literally can't let anything get in claw/bite range or i'm just about assured a death if my gun isn't firing in their face already.

Because CC1 is a collab, various mappers contributed; however, an overwhelming majority are cramped, convoluted, and have an excess of super low lighting. Why were you originally respond then?

Dude, stop being dumb. They're still people despite not being popular, they're still people despite not being in a megawad, they're still people just because you don't want to count them.

They are people who mapped in 2003. That means they're representative of people mapping in 2003. At this point it feels like you're missing the point very, very, very hard; so I'll save the trouble, and just drop it, because arguing over whether or not these pseudo-people (who mapped in 2003) are indicative of what mappers in 2003 were mapping is fucking retarded.

speaking of CC1, MAP29 has to be one of the most boring, one-key, bland, and why-the-fuck-won't-this-end levels of shit ever made in the history of doom modding.

come the fuck on CC, why are you leaving me with this sour shit taste in my mouth after all the shit we've gone through together? you'd better make up for it big for this when I reach the last map so I can fucking redeem your head from getting shelved and done for unlike Unholy Realms.

I'm not even saying this for hyperbolic value or anything, but I'd have so much more fun playing Insanity's Requiem with RLA's Armageddon monsters in a Omegalore mapset instead.

I thought CC1 was more bitter with an after taste of salt. It could've done with some sweeter levels since there's no palette cleanser for the massive bites of bitter throughout the middle/end portion. I feel like things could've also been spicier (picante not caliente) while not overwhelming the other flavours.

Any good 'modern' mapsets that aren't slaughterfests and gameplay conversion friendly? Like, cityscapes, facilities and such. No, not talking Brutal Doom. I've got Going Down, and I guess the starter pack beta in the OP counts, but it's surprisingly difficult to pinpoint things properly.

A very interesting pecularity of the Doom engine.
Basically, if you put more than one Player 1 start (or player 2), in a map, the engine will start player 1 in the first player 1 you placed, and in the second player 1 start, it will place an empty player that doesn't do anything, but here's how it gets interesting, if the empty player gets hurt, or if he somehow picks up an item (presumably moved towards him with a conveyor or some other mapping trick), that will transfer to him, so if you shoot at the empty player, the voodoo doll, then player 1 will take that damage.

This was a bug, entirely unintentional, but it turned out that you could do a LOT of interesting and creative things with by employing them. In TNT Map 30, there's a sequence of platforms you have to traverse in the proper order and angle, if you do it wrong, you get teleported onto your own voodoo doll, and you're killed, you telefrag yourself.

This bug was never fixed, because it doesn't happen in normal gameplay, or when it happens in a map, the author did it intentionally and it's supposed to be there, removing it would probably partially or fully break the map.

There was one or two sourceports that actually patched this behavior and stopped it from happening, whereupon everyone asked "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" and it was fixed back to normal.

In regards to your question, it's difficult to get what you're asking for as wads tend to go towards hell territory by the end, or use custom monsters. Anyway, the classic megawads Icarus and TNT are mostly techbase-y, and you could try 5till L1 Complex, Deneb Colony, or Monster Hunter Ltd if you're looking for more realistic visuals. You could also try UAC Ultra and Thunderpeak, but they have a few custom monsters which might not be what you want. If you want more grimy Quake-esque techbases there's Zaero(custom monsters though), Putrefier(requires GZdoom), and Valhalla.

I would also have recommended STRAIN, but you're looking for gameplay mod compatibility and STRAIN is balanced around its dehacked enemies.
