here is a demo for buttghost. i won't try to video it, since it is 27 minutes long. much of it was recorded with iddt*2.

http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=af58xx

issues:

1. the monster teleporter isn't very well designed and leads to stragglers. (sector 1004) in my game, a sergeant was missed.

2. going back for that sergeant at the end, i find i jump down the hole (and take a lot of damage, because no more radsuits) and then get stuck, because the big lift with all the crates on it (sector 787 etc.) only works once. and since i just jumped down a hole, i am now stuck forever.

3. i missed one secret (sector 928). from the look of it in an editor, there doesn't seem to be a way in at all?

4. the two lamps in sector 541 leave thin squares of light on the ceiling above them.

Fixed-ish. If the lift moves more than once, it breaks, so now a teleport opens when you walk up to the switch.
Due to the pipe room radsuit feeling a bit unnecessary, I've replaced all the nukage in that area with water, so you won't be forced into taking damage if you have a reason to go back. Unless you missed dudes in the sinking trap side passage, in which case bad luck because that area is supposed to make players rush and panic. I might even experiment with moving radsuits around to make it more restrictive without 100% leading to nukage damage.
>3. i missed one secret (sector 928). from the look of it in an editor, there doesn't seem to be a way in at all?
Straferun off the crates on the other side.
>4. the two lamps in sector 541 leave thin squares of light on the ceiling above them.
I wanna say "Oh well" because I was aware of this one, I just didn't particularly care, but given the flickering effect on them isn't especially noticable and the roof squares are, I'll remove it from the indoors lamps.

>>2830698
what

>>2830709
okay you're not too attached to the flickering, and i confess i didn't even notice it until i looked at the sectors in an editor. for future reference though, you can raise the ceilings of the bright sectors and leave the upper textures blank so the flats on either side bleed over the gap. this is sometimes called shadowcasting.

Are there any good Doom christmas wads?


I played one for Serious Sam 3 last year and it was real good, even had new dialogue from the voice actor of Sam

Smooth Doom and Beautiful Doom.

Are there any mods for a cartoon-like experience? I played Adventures of Square and really and Urban Brawl and enjoyed them immensely.

>>2830882
honestly i can't think of very many

whitemare is mostly about winter but has some christmas trees in it. similarly nordhell (both versions, but the second nhell_d2 is better, with three maps). the rebirth has a secret snow level with snowman enemies.

>>2830948
I'll try out whitemare, winter is close enough.

>>2830709
oh, i forgot. the berserk secret counts as two secrets, both the outer ring and the pedestal. it's possible to go in, get the item, but not trigger the pedestal, so i suggest the pedestal's secret property be removed.

>If the lift moves more than once, it breaks, so now a teleport opens when you walk up to the switch.
this is fine, both scythe map29 and cchest2 use the same solution.

>Unless you missed dudes in the sinking trap side passage, in which case bad luck because that area is supposed to make players rush and panic.
i don't see a problem with that either, that part is a small side loop, not part of the main route through the map. thank you.

Underground Maelstrom
underg.zip (160 KB, 1995-09-22) - SiNGE (Nick Bousman) (With help from Fimm)
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=3337

this map is a huge (300+ monsters on UV) and goes on forever. it has some very attractive parts, i particularly liked the outdoor area with its red key tower and huge height difference. but its gameplay is essentially an eternal switch quest full of nasty and unforgiving traps. crushing ceilings, inescapable nukage pits, and memorably a false lift that leaves you trapped in a 64x64 square next to a baron.

at the start it is very short of ammunition and to a lesser extent health, i found myself having to punch several monsters without assistance. on replays you may know where a berserk box is to be found, though, and it is wise to head for it immediately, it makes the map much easier. throughout the map it remains fairly short on resources, right up until the end where it gives you basically every weapon, along with two soulsphere, a blue armour, and two partial invisibilities(!), to fight a single cyberdemon. this item placement seems rather naive to me.

the endless switch quest centres around seven eye switches which all have to be pressed to open the exit. i rather like this kind of thing (see e.g. epic2 map28). it also requires all three keys as part of this, and several more switches to lower silver bars strewn around the map. what i didn't like was getting the blue key, and descent a very long lift to one of the blue doors, only to find there were silver bars i didn't even know about beyond the door, forcing a lot of unnecessary backtracking.

in summary i think this is a large impressive-looking map for those who enjoy long exploratory treks. but it is let down by tedious or awkward gameplay in a lot of places.

I'm sorry, but I'll stick with Smooth Doom until this guy figures out what the fuck he's doing.

So I'm playing Quake for the first time (for reference: i played doom for the first time last year) and I am in no way enjoying this as much as I enjoyed Doom.
These enemies arent as great as the ones in Doom and the levels feels pretty small, both in room sizes and how large they get.
I also dont like the shotgun.

So I got myself one of these Splitfish FragChucks, thought it would be neat to play GZDoom with it, have mouselook along with analog stick movement, for very smooth gameplay.

Thing is, though GZDoom says it detects the controller in the Joystick menu, and allows me to define sensitivity and stuff, it doesn't actually accept any input from it.

GZDoom doesn't react to the analog stick, it doesn't allow me to bind any buttons to the FragChuck, I'm not sure if the thing installed it's drivers correctly (and I don't know where to find those drivers elsewhere), the manual for the the thing isn't really clear at all, when I try the inputs the reference sheet mentions (factory reset for instance), it doesn't do anything.

Anyone have any experience with one of these and willing to help me?

>>2831226
>I'll stick with Smooth Doom
this.

>>2831303
Set the axis's in the player menu. You don't set it in the controls menu

>>2831326
What?

No, as in, GZDoom detects that the controller is there, but it doesn't take any input from it.

>>2831336
Yes. Set the axis's in the player menu. The dpad, joystick, and buttons function as axis's. Not as buttons

>>2831348
There's no options for that in the Player menu

>>2830201
That's pretty spooky.

>>2831372
Now that I know what I'm doing with getting spooky sounds out of MIDI, I can focus on writing some atmospheric tracks. I should probably add some melodies and actual musical stuff too. I am a trained composer after all...

You guys are really obsessed with this series, aren't you? I've never actually played any Doom titles before. FPS just isn't a genre that appeals to me. I nonetheless grabbed a ROM of the (decensoring-patched) GBA port of Doom and threw it on my Flash cart, since I didn't want to bother trying to get the DOS version working on my desktop.

For someone who doesn't normally get into FPS games, I've been enjoying it so far.

Head-2-Head Xmas

32-level Doom 2 megawad from 1995 (so its vanilla compatible, I used to play this with Doom95)
I have played through this every December for over the past 15 years.
The top comments are pretty harsh, the level design, while not being amazing, isn't too bad, especially for 1995.

I'd give it a go.

nigger, a good 15 seconds (granted your PC isn't a toaster) is literally all it takes to get both the Chocolate Doom exe and the Doom and Doom 2 .IWAD files for it to run and find out what you've been missing out on during all this time

>>2831483
I'll give it a try. I love christmas and I love Doom.

I also love Killing Floor but i'm not sure if they'll do a christmas event this year, so I need something.

What kind of weapon is this?

dunno but it looks pretty hot

>>2831482
>since I didn't want to bother trying to get the DOS version working on my desktop
There's Chocolate Doom if you want the original .exe with modern compatibility.

There's ZDoom/GZDoom if you want to play mods and stuff

The iwads are linked in the FAQ, grab a source port of choice (PRBoom+ if you want oldschool stuff or GZDoom if you want modern stuff)
Don't need to mess with DOS at all

>>2831482
Speaking of GBA Doom, Doom ran in the original engine, and Doom II ran in a custom engine used in other GBA FPS', and two levels had to be split into two for being two large.

this used to scare me

What would it feel like being vaporized

>>2831632
oh man, it's a feeling out of this world

>>2831632
Probably very, very painful for a second, then nothing.

So, That post last thread about TF2 weapon ideas are they still looking because i want the plasma gun added to TF2.

>>2831086
i am not sure how light transfer would interact with the fireflicker thinker. need to investigate further

>>2831575
sorry my last post was rude. but please understand, most of the time, the news post is updated only with items from the previous thread.

>>2831627
Doom GBA was fucking garbage, Doom 2 GBA was actually quite good.

>>2831719
Yeah, the port of 2 is MUCH more complete, all the monster and levels are there, etc.

The AI is very limited though, it's the same, except that if you're far enough away, they literally do not perceive you in any way, you can shoot at them and they won't approach you until you're close enough. This can be abused to a certain extent.

>>2831303
So, nobody here with any experience with these?

>>2831667
turns out it actually works as expected. a transfer of a static light to a flickering sector ceiling is preserved. i thought the thinker might overwrite the transfer leaving it effectively ignored.

more interestingly you can transfer a flicker to a different ceiling, which results in the sectors' flicker being synchronised. a couple of threads ago i said this was impossible. turns out i was wrong.

test wad:

http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=gx88lt

>>2831801
>a couple of threads ago i said this was impossible.
clarification: "this" means making several fireflicker sectors flicker in sync. not transferring flicker.

>>2831482
we are not playing the same levels over and over for 20 years. that would be obsessive. new content is being made all the time, so there is always something to play / talk about.

Where can I find more info about Complex Doom? Something like a forum topic.
Also, can I use it with ZDoom?

>>2831817
i thought there was one on zandronum.com but all i can find is a thread about "complex doom invasion" which appears to be a spinoff

>>2831817
>>2831832

There isn't a topic on the forums.
This makes me grind my teeth something fierce, since the entire idea is that you should want to listen to feedback both good and ill. If someone wants to tell me something in my mod sucks, they should be able to post why.

As it is, the only feedback he gets are from people that play the mod a lot, i.e. fans. It's a breeding ground for sycophancy.

>>2831817
>>2831836
>>2831832
Complex Doom was made by russian modders ("Complex" and "Hard" have same translation into Russian so it actually should be "hard doom") so the actual thread would be found on one of the russian community sites.

>>2831627
What levels were split?

>>2831875
Industrial Zone and The Chasm, they're now two separate levels each, leaving you with 34 levels in total.

>>2831850
Complex and Hard Doom are different mods, none were made by Russians and they are barely mentioned in Russian community.
At least you got the "same translation" part right.

Anon what do you think abount blood(+cryptic passage). My favourite fps, whant to know ur opinion.

>>2831930
heh i love "my house in doom" maps
>>2831935
highly well-regarded here. we're all super mad at atari for sitting on the source code.

>>2831929
Complex Doom as in (Cлoжный Дyм) has some russian devs in it so there you go. And i've seen dedicated forum posts about it with devs in it.

I know that theres another mod by the name "Hard Doom" but you've missed my point entirely.

This is a GZDoom map I've been working on for little over a year. It doesn't have any monsters, the focus is more on the map itself. It's still really rough and looks pretty shitty in some places, and your framerate might dip. Feedback would be appreciated.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/n2i7z7xy911ihyo

I've seen several Doom vids where monsters' hurt/death sounds are randomly pitched up/down.
How do I get that? Is that a mod or a port setting?

>>2831945
Do you mind sharing a link to those threads? Or at least on what sites you saw them.

>>ATI graphical errors past gzdoom pre 860

good god no more doom rpg for me

>>2831959
In Zdoom and GZdoom you can do that by turning on the randomize pitches in sound options.
That will make every sound (monsters, weapons, items) randomly pitched, if that's what you're looking for.

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=10257

>>2831930
let's have a look at this. in the text file the author claims it's a "my house in doom" map that doesn't suck. i can only assume by this he means a "my house" map that isn't detailed like a 1994 map and instead looks semi-realistic, as the gameplay is as expected: lots of small, cramped rooms, with boxy detail that gets in the way.

monster count is low but so is ammunition. the start, especially, frustratingly makes you kill a dozen imps, troopers and even demons before it gives you a shotgun. after clearing the ground floor it becomes routine, even with the predictable archvile ending.

other than the top-heaviness it's not a terrible map. but the fact remains the concept of a "my house" map is i believe flawed because generally people's houses aren't good as layouts for doom maps.

footnote: i recall a "my house" map i posted about here a few months ago, flat-692, in which the author notes he realised the map was boring, and added a subterranean section. perhaps that would help here.

>>2831958
Would you rather the feedback here or in one of your threads?

>>2831958
that looks impressive, although very gray in software mode (i am unfortunately GPUtationally challenged)

perhaps you could post links to the threads the on-screen message refers to?

>>2831984
it's obviously not intended for software mode at all. sorry for the noise.

>>2831983
I wouldn't mind the feedback being posted here.

>>2832008
I got a crapload of screenshots relating to mismatched midtexture heights, missing textures, cut off or impossibly/illogically placed windows, places to get stuck, rendering/sector errors and continuity errors, soo... it might take a while, if you're looking for that kind of feedback.

In terms of non bug/error-related feedback, there's no way to get back onto the island if you jump off, besides the south beach rocks. some little docks or something spread around the rest of the map (especially the north!) would be nice.

>>2831959
>>2831973
Old versions of Doom randomize pitches as well. Apparently it was accidentally removed in 1.4.

>>2832018
That's the type of feedback I'm looking for. Could you upload the screenshots to a gallery somewhere?

There were a few things that were obviously wrong like the power line that leads into nothing, I took them as just the WIP state of the map and that they were just being worked on. It's a really nice map so far!

Fuck you dude.
Those fucking Gauntlets that shoot GREEN LIGHTNING are cool as shit.

>>2832262
After the first episode, you're gonna be really disappointed in the rest of the game. The devs really stopped caring after that point.

One of the maps near the end even has a necessary-to-progress key hidden in an alcove that's a real pain in the ass to get to. That by itself isn't a bad thing, but the alcove is also marked as secret, a thing that's supposed to be strictly optional to map completion.

I haven't played in years and I only went through it once, so I can't recall other things, but I remember that the second and third episodes of Heretic are particularly unpolished, generally speaking.

I've been gone for about a year. I know I can just read the news but that's just recent stuff. What cool shit has happened in the last year? Anything new from /vr/?

>>2832443
A new official Doom game is coming and it looks better than the old ones, lol.

anyone else not getting the SSG firing sound on Beautiful Doom without the alternate weapon sounds?

also the pistol and BFG sprites kinda look squishy

>>2831520
Not a weapon. In Strife you can get lit on fire, and it shows your arms on fucking fire

>>2832446
weren't you shitposting and samefagging about the game being shit literally two threads ago

>>2832443
Well it's not a cool thing but Ty Halderman passed away.

>>2832446
Yeah I know all that shit. I don't care, I own a toaster and no modern console. What's happened HERE? What new mods is everyone playing? What's the new megawad everyone loves?

>>2832443
Selfie Doom took the world by storm and crashed Doomworld's servers.
Speaking of Doomworld it moved hosts and now has HTTPS and a few other niceties.
Lots of wads. Valiant, Sunlust, Monument.
/vr/ tried to do another community project but it failed. Now there is another another community project due the end of the year.

>>2832474
Valiant
Push

>>2832462
Are you running it in Doom 1? Doom 1 doesn't have the SSG and if it doesn't include sounds for it, it's relying on them from the IWAD, and, well, there it is.

>>2832469
Aw man, that sucks. idgames is the shit and his legacy will always live on there.

>>2832474

>What's happened HERE?
Not much actually. the posting rate has severely dropped off the past couple of months. for those like me who sit here with the thread open all day, it's excruciating.

>>2832482
Fair enough. Maybe I was generating more discussion than I thought I was. I reinstalled Windows and lost all my video card drivers and found myself suddenly unable to play and unable to build levels or do mods. Just fixed it earlier this month though so I was looking to get back in.

>>2832493
ouch sorry to hear it. well, welcome back anyway. if you are able to map and willing, please consider making a boom map for doom1, in the style of episode 1. that is what we are supposed to be doing now.

So I've been playing sneaky doom and I thought it was missing something.

Then I realized, I NEEDED SNEAKY MUSIC

I'm not sure how easy or how hard this would be but if someone could do it for me I'll suck yo dick.

Are there any (finished) mods inspired by Metroid Prime? I found one earlier, but it's only a demo.

For that matter, I'd be interested in anything that has similar aesthetics to Prime.

>>2832915

It's a hardcoded feature.

So I'm in the Doom 4 alpha!

It's very...well, hey! It's got some cool ideas, but ultimately it feels more like a slow Quake than Doom. The weapon balance feels really fucked, and the Revenant can't punch dudes.

I'm eager to see how they improve it.

>>2832927
>but ultimately it feels more like a slow Quake than Doom.
I'm okay with this.

>>2832930
Yeah, same. That's still faster than most FPS's we've had in a good while.

I don't know if it has some kind of melee finisher, but I wouldn't know how to activate it since you can't melee as the Revvy at all.

>>2832951
Pretty smooth!

Personal teleporter is so hype though. It's a flying disk that you throw and can teleport to. Haven't telefragged anyone but the loading screen said I could!

>>2832951
Apparently they are aiming for 1080p 60 FPS on consoles. Hope they can pull it off.
>>2832961
>I don't know if it has some kind of melee finisher, but I wouldn't know how to activate it since you can't melee as the Revvy at all.
That's kinda dissapointing, considering how much they've focused on the Revenant on advertising because of the community.
>>2832961
>Personal teleporter is so hype though. It's a flying disk that you throw and can teleport to. Haven't telefragged anyone but the loading screen said I could!
A translocator with a cooldown, correct?
Sounds neat. I'll probably end up using it as an "oh shit the powerups are spawning" button.

>>2832961
Always good to hear that id can keep a constant framerate.

>>2832961

oh well, still sounds good enough to me. you saying the teleporter is satisfying to use is all I needed to know. How's the grenade feel?

So not very /vr/ related, but the doom alpha was supposed to go up tonight at 7 PM PST, I signed up for it on PS4 but it's well past 7 here, and I don't see a download for it at all.

Nope, does nothing.

>>2833003

>>2833016
I got a notification from playstation yesterday saying I could download it, that I would just find it in my PS4 games library and could download it from there, but nada.

>>2832989

It is a feature that is hardcoded in the game and ergo not available for modders to use.

Yup.
Keep all my wads in a single directory, which is defined as the environment variable DOOMWADDIR in my ~/.bash_profile, which most sourceports automatically pick up on.

Also, I recently found screwing around that GZDoom, PrBoom-plus, and the Eternity Engine, can all be compiled with LLVM/Clang instead of GCC. Can't really notice a performance difference, but binary sizes are smaller.

But why?

>>2833098
Are there any available builds of GZDoom? I'm too lazy to learn how to compile it myself.

>>2833274

...You read the post, right?
For compatibility with gameplay mods.

>>2833274

Many gameplay mods, especially those that replace monsters for customized behavior, don't behave well with custom monsters.
DemonSteele won't get souls from them, Dreadnought's ice beam will become useless, Terrorist's taser won't do anything, etc.

Since this release is specifically designed for gameplay mods, it only makes sense to optimize for it by removing custom monsters.

>>2833308
Gameplay mods that have custom monsters would replace the Valiant monsters anyway if skillsaw used DECORATE instead of dehacked to replace things. This just screws up the experience for the weapon mods that don't use new monsters.

>>2833312
>>2833313
I guess there's the dehacked valiant monsters that replace non-monster objects, they can't really be left in.. I guess they have to be removed then. still, a version with just the custom weapons removed would be nice.

>>2833313
>if skillsaw used DECORATE instead of dehacked to replace things.

There's two problems with this.
One, Valiant doesn't only replace monsters, some of its Dehacked replaces objects as well. Which, well, would be a clusterfuck to handle in gameplay mods which are rife with replacements.
Two, the problem with that is that not all monster replacements are created equal. Some gameplay mods' SS Nazi replacements are jokes, some are serious, some are really weak, some are pretty tough. Including SS Nazis or Keens or whatever would turn encounters into a dice roll depending on the mod.

>This just screws up the experience for the weapon mods that don't use new monsters.

As a gameplay modder, please understand I'm fully aware of the irony when I say:
If you're playing it with a gameplay mod, you're probably already screwing up the intended experience.

>>2833319
>If you're playing it with a gameplay mod, you're probably already screwing up the intended experience.

I meant player experience, I'm saying you would be playing Valiant with entirely vanilla monsters. I get what you mean, though.

General question:

When do you personally consider a map "completed?" Get to the end, even with savestates? Get to the end on one life? Pistol start? UV-Max? Under par time if you're a crazy person?

>>2833964
Get to the end.

I try to kill most monsters, find a decent amount of secrets and make sure to pick up anything that's really good, like a soulsphere, a plasmagun, or megaarmor

>>2833982
Do you use saves? Do you pistol start, or just take over whatever you had from the last level?

http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?random

Gauntlet time is Now

>>2834003
>saves
Yes.

>pistol start
No, I like there being a point to collecting gear and items.

In D2M1, there's a rocket launcher, you get two rockets, there's nothing in the level that makes sense shooting these rockets at, presumably you're meant to save them for later, as a bonus.
If I'm losing it when leaving the level, I might as well have not even found it.

>>2833518
what is this

Anybody know if you can lower Chocolate Doom's Gamma below "1" by any means?
For some reason it seems bright as fuck, even when gamma is off. In fact, most Doom ports look bright as fuck on my computer, even with gamma set to off.

>>2834076
Might wanna check your graphics driver settings first senpai

>>2834079
What exactly should I check/change?
A... Anon-kun

>>2834049
The id "pistol start" rule is less set in stone than Romero, Sandy and the others make it seem.

Wolfenstein 3D had a retail release with a huge guidebook detailing maps of every level and developer commentary, and there were even "level designer tips" in the margins for what to do to make your own levels great. Given the time period this was released, it's very probable that Doom was already in development at this time and they had already started implementing these.

The ethos of "pistol start" harkens back to the original game--when you die, you lose all your fancy cool shit, period. This is your punishment for death. This is also why every level was tested as a pistol start--because if the level relies on you having equipment from a previous level not found in this level, then you will be fucked from pistol start. They also did not always know what order the levels would be in, so they had to make sure you could complete them in any order if they were moved around.
However, you're right--carrying over weapons is definitely an intended feature of the game, but it also breaks the balance slightly. I think the idea is wholly that a new player will be entering a new level sight unseen, and is very likely to get their ass handed to them, killing them and forcing them to pistol start. Sandy and others these days acknowledge that the game is probably too easy if you don't pistol start every level, and early players agreed--in the early builds, UV was the maximum difficulty; Nightmare was added later and obviously has -fast parameters plus respawning monsters, so it's definitely more of a challenge than UV is, and is probably more suited to non-pistol-start play.

Also
>D2M1

I had a long moment wondering if you somehow typo'd E2M1 before realizing you meant Doom 2 MAP01. The proper nomenclature for Doom 2 maps is not "Doom2Map1" but rather just "MAP01," "MAP07," "MAP32."

>>2833964
for me: 3x100% (or as near as possible) from pistol start, no saves, on some skill level. i don't care about the time.
>>2834049
there's that group of imps in another secret sector. one-shotting the whole lot with a single rocket as soon as you strafe out of the door is so satisfying.

>>2834010
haha seriously i got this
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/p-r/return01
an e1 replacement i've played so many times it is burned into my brain.

>>2834097
Honestly, I consider pistol starting vs carryover similar to something like 1CCing a shmup vs using continues. While the game certainly allows you to get to the end using multiple continues, the real dynamism of the game can only be experienced when you allow yourself to be restricted.

Other than the literal architecture, the pacing of a level is determined by when weapons are given to the player, how much ammo and health they're allotted, and where enemies are in relation to all of those things. Resource management compels the player to exploit infighting, prioritize certain enemies and encounters, and really seek through a level to get as many upper hands as possible. Carryover removes the need to really think about any of those things, and makes an overall easier but less dynamic experience. A level that once contained peaks and valleys of tension now is one long plateau of "use the SSG unless you need rockets or the BFG."

Pistol starting every level totally changed how I experienced Doom 1 and 2, and I can't see myself going back (unless a map pack requires carryover, of course). It's much less homogeneous, and way more exciting.

>>2832262
I don't know what >>2832318 is talking about, episodes 2 and 3 have some very nice level design most of the time, although sometimes the levels can look really bland. Episode 3 in general especially is really cool
And yea, the weapons sound/feel/look like shit. I'm still waiting for someone to make a Smooth Doom equivalent of Heretic.

Both of the above are true. It's really just kind of boring. The teleporter (as previously stated) is the hypest part of it. And the Revenant too, even though he's traded punching dudes for jetpacking.

>>2833740

Oh no, I like them as they are. I just thought that since it was a potentially controversial decision to have spooky tunes instead of the standard Doom sound I'd throw it open to the board.

Would it be possible, using silent teleporters and slopes, to make it look like you're running up walls/loops?

>>2831958
I like the overall concept, though that's because DoomCenter is also one of my favorite mods. I think the City's layout is actually more interesting than DoomCenter's. Do you plan on having a bunch of assets froms different sources thrown in as well, much like DoomCenter did? I noticed a Boombox on the map but couldn't interact with it, figured you were probably planning on having it work like DoomCenter's jukebox.

Keep working on this mod, I like it so far. I don't like using that word but it's comfy, much like DoomCenter. Another reason why I want to see this mod pushed further is because DoomCenter hasn't been updated in a long time.

>>2833319
Theres also the case with the spider mastermind.

Valiant uses the rocket baron to replace spider mastermind so that it has blast immunity. And spider mastyermind replaces light amplification visors.

Do ripping projectiles deal their damage every tic they are colliding with something? Is there a way to make it only damage each enemy it touches once? The damage inconsistency due to sizes and angles of hitboxes sucks.

Yes.

No.

>>2834776

>>2834765

Yeah, maybe something has to do with that.

>>2834845
Hmm, can a ripper projectile go to a state/detect if it hits something? Like go to a custom "cooldown" state that sets flags to ignore collision for a few tics.

If it can't do that I guess I'll just have to use a normal projectile that shoots a copy of itself on death. Unless I can't do that *either* due to speed being set to 0 when the projectile dies, so I wouldn't have a trajectory for the copy to follow...fuck.

That's exactly the kind of reasoning I expected there to be against it and I was thinking that myself. We can replace the SFX with PSX SFX, as >>2834646 said, but that wouldn't replicate the echoes or coloured lighting.

So we'll strawpoll it.

As before I'll leave it open for a day or two.

>>2834942
I believe there are now "Ripper level" decorate functions, if you look on the wiki. Unfortunately if you use them you'll be confined to the newer versions of Zdoom.

Update: Police not interested in American McGee's case, detective was "angered" by him daring to talk about it.

map's okay, a smallish marble cube with mostly open spaces and one spiral hallway leading to a plasma rilfe, and a chain of hallways extending out from there which offer a small techroom with chainsaws and shotguns, and off of that yet another hallway which leads to more shotguns. Ultimately does feel like a bike race, just hard to really appreciate as a doom map.

Of course, it's also a '94 map, so we can cut it some slack.

>>2835007
Well there goes my good vibes for the evening.
Fuck the police.

>>2835006
Huh? Ripper levels decide what a ripping projectile can and can't rip through, and if it can't rip it just stops and dies like a normal projectile, so I still have the same problem.

The first area is a redundant room with a teleporter where you're given a SSG and then teleported to a linear 128mp wide winding path with two barons in it that ends in a room with a pack of zombiemen and a trapped cacodemon. After you kill the zombiemen and the caco, you have to retrieve keys from 3 more redundant rooms and then open the final room where you have to kill Romero's head (The author's boyfriend according to the text file) to finish the level.

It's proper shite.

That might be a good compromise between the two styles. Just my opinion though.

>>2835232
Oh it's the same person that made Batma.wad, god damn it.

Gonna lay off Sunlust for now and play some Valiant. I figure I should play the proper version rather than vaccinated, but I personally adore Trailblazer.
After playing so much with it the regular arsenal feels just pitiful.

So this is a rocket launcher replacement?

>>2835519

Shit no, this replaces the SSG.

Combined_Arms is a bit of a wonky mess but people seem to enjoy it

>>2835521
>That replaces the SSG
So then what's the rocket launcher?

Wonky doesn't mean jack if it plays good

>>2835524

See for yourself

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8380892/Combined_ArmsWIP3.pk3

This version isn't up to date with the shit I've been showing off, but the rocket launcher hasn't changed yet. I'm not happy with it right now, I'm gonna fuck about with it in the future.

The nailgun's altfire is also different since this version too.

There's gotta be something we're not getting. Why the hell would the police be angered by American talking about his missing family?

I smell /pol/ conspiracies incoming.

>>2835718

THE DOOMINATI.

In all seriousness, I really hope it's all ok.

>Sunlust UV is designed primarily for ubermensch doom-gods
Yeah, so was Plutonia, and I UV'd tha-

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

>>2835718

Probably because of the Gamergate stigma attached to it. American recently outed himself as pro-GG, which likely doesn't sit well with the media.

>>2835724
This doesn't change anything. How the fuck can the Police just say "we don't give a fuck about your missing sister, find her yourself, lolol", and do nothing about it?

>>2835776

Was just a guess, mate, I can't say for certain either.

>>2835716
>D2INO
i can't think of another project that fit your criteria.

for me 2002ADO was very disappointing. very few maps from its e2-e4 lived up to the expectation set by 2001-E1. then it was repeatedly rereleased with pointless minor changes that made demos desync, without addressing a lot of the gameplay problems that were frequently reported by players.

>>2835786
that said i think pcorf mostly redeemed himself with the death tormention series, and more recently, last year's incineration.

>>2835610

>>2835724
>he thinks video game internet culture wars matter to police
/v/, everyone

I found a video of some apparent DOOM Alpha Key Generator. Do these things even work?
I'd blast it with every virus scanner I have before using it, but I just want to know if these things have any sort of credibility in the first place.

>>2835971
the police have gotten involved in these matters, so yes they do

>>2835995
Very unlikely. The keys that are given out are probably registered so even guessing out the algo to generate a one doesn't mean it's valid at all. Basically no keygens for multiplayer games are working for games released after 2006.

>>2835927

This. The Supreme Court has already ruled that police actually have no obligation whatever to "Serve and Protect", completely legitimizing through law their unofficial role they've had for years as corrupt thugs working for the local municipality.

Why _would_ they hunt for his sister? There's nothing in it for them.

>>2833235
trailblazer makes slaughterwads fun

>>2836061

Trailblazer, and by extension any super-death-killy-OP weaponset, makes slaughterwads tedious. Without any challenge in maneuvering, infighting, or ammo management, you're just left spamming M1 against extended hordes of enemies.

>>2836097
wouldnt call it super-death-killy like RO or something. you can still get fucked over quick if youre not careful

>>2836061
well designed slaughterwads are already fun if you know how to play.

>>2836097
I love clever combat tactics, thinking ahead, ammo and medikit management, and relying on infighting as much as the next guy, but you people speak as if any map/mod that isn't an exercise in military strategizing instantly sucks. I can see how OP weapon mods like trailblazer can water down the challenge, but I don't think it ruins the experience. It just makes it feel like sort of a more extreme vanilla doom, as in, the increase in firepower balances somehow the bigger hordes, in the same way the vanilla weapons are balanced to deal with the amount of monster you'll encounter in the vanilla maps.
Also, gameplay mods by default will break, in one way or another and in varying degrees, the balance of Vanilla doom. If you worry too much aboutit, you'll just end up giving up on gameplay mods.

>>2835776
American cops don't have a duty to defend or help anyone (this was ruled by the Supreme Court), despite the slogans of many departments. Cops can literally stand by as you get stabbed and they aren't culpable for not interfering.

There's a reason people take responsibility for their own safety and arm themselves, it works hundreds of times better.

What's more reliable to help you? A gun in your hand that you know how to use, or some asshole that might show up 45 minutes after you called, can't reliably hit a target at 10 yards with his own gun, and may or may not shoot your dog and get away with it?

This isn't unique to American cops either by thew way, cops here in Europe are as worthless, they just tend to be able to shoot decently and don't as often shoot dogs without provocation.

>>2836162
>If you worry too much aboutit, you'll just end up giving up on gameplay mods.

good.

unbelievable, i've tried to pistol start this map dozens even hundreds of times, always dying, then i randomly try again a few months later and i win twice in a row

>>2836162
>but you people speak as if any map/mod that isn't an exercise in military strategizing instantly sucks.

"You people"? Mate, that is a wide generalization of an opinion I doubt is shared by that many people.
It ain't even true. My favorite mapsets (at the time of writing that) are Scythe 2, Dissolution, and Equinox, none of which are known for extreme slaughter elements.

>It just makes it feel like sort of a more extreme vanilla doom, as in, the increase in firepower balances somehow the bigger hordes

I don't think it does, though. Even a long time back in the eweps + Drown in Blood servers (man I feel fucking old now) it was an exercise in tedium.
You can't balance super-killy enemy hordes with super-killy weapons, it's not a scale that you can stack on either side and hope the weights cancel each other out. The scale will just kind of break.

Doom gameplay is a four-point balance, split between weapons, player ability, monster danger, and level design.

Was it ever announced if there was gonna be a weapon wheel for singleplayer? If they do the two guns bullshit with SP then fuck this game sideways.

Someone should edit the gore mods so that they remove gibs instead clogging up the game.

Can't finish pic related because all the dead shit just kills the engine.

>>2836227
Yeah, happens to me too, not only in Doom.

I wonder if there's a name for this kind of thing.
>>2836241
Yeah it's kinda bullshit. Like, I get they were trying to differentiate themselves from Halo more, but Doom was an arena shooter before that.
>>2836243
>>2836246
Singleplayer doesn't have the limit

>>2836246

There is a weapon wheel. It was confirmed last year and it was in the e3 2015 footage. Think it'll be in MP too tho.

>>2836248

I can't think of a lot of gore mods that don't have automatically-removing gibs.
Except burt lamb, but that's a special kind of dumb.

Any good tutorials for making WADs out there? I want to make stupid, shitty WADs to amuse myself and my circle of friends.

>>2836246
>>2836241
There's a fucking weapon wheel you doomsaying faggots, it's seen in multiple E3 videos.

>>2836280
Crisis averted.

For now.

>>2836280
The second guy you quoted is talking about multiplayer, where there is, in fact, loadouts and a weapon limit of 2 guns, at least in the default TDM mode.

The first guy is talking about singleplayer and people already corrected them

>>2836237
>Scythe 2
>not known for slaughter elements
>what are maps 28-30

Map30 on UV (just the highlights):
>7 possessed marines
>14 cyberdemons
>24 afrits
>33 arch-viles
>59 barons of hell
>65 cacodemons
>105 revenants
And a spiderdemon in a pear tree.

>>2836307
Which is why it was the perfect map to test Dat funtube, right?

>>2836243
I'd be happier if they looked at TNO and said "Gib piles must be at least this tall to ride."

>>2836261
Ketchup. Think it's half-assed conversion of the Brutal Doom gib system for the vanilla gameplay. Managed to finish it, but the couple last Cyberdemons were kinda annoying with the slideshow framerate. There has been only one other level that had similar issue.

>>2836307
scythe 2's later maps are "my first slaughtermap" tier, those monster numbers aren't really that impressive
extreme slaughtermaps would be stuff like slaughtenstein or sf2012

What idea can you guys give me to make an open area challenging without being stupid? Meaning, balconies full of shotcunts or similar. Should I just fill the place with projectile enemies?

I'm struggling at this; I have a few open areas but they're too easy.

All considering this is for Ultimate Doom.

>>2836329
Fill it with balconies with erratically raising/lowering windows that provides cover and blocks your view.

Are there any good WADs that make me feel like I'm on a holy mission against demons?

>>2834681
>Do you plan on having a bunch of assets froms different sources thrown in as well

There are assets from various sources in the project currently, but I'm in the process of replacing them with original stuff.

>much like DoomCenter did?

Not really. DoomCenter has a completely different feel than what I'm aiming for.

>>2833286
There's a PPA for Ubuntu if you google it. Compiling is Not Hard; the zdoom wiki covers it beautifully and future updates are dead easy. The only non-standard (read: not typically in a repo) item you need is fmodex, which is really easy to install. Here's my upgrade alias for encouragement:

alias zupgrade='cd /home/anon/Downloads/Source/ZDoomGit/ && git pull && mkdir release ; cd release && rm -rf * && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -

Yeah, I fixed up most of the issues, I'll probably release a new version of the map with all the issues fixed soon.

Are there any goremods that don't replace the base-enemies? I don't wanna mess with the DEHACKED enemies and all.

>>2835718

Holy shit who made these where why oh god I need it

>>2835003
Well the results are basically in and I doubt there'll be a comeback from this margin:
Original Doom style: 8 votes
Doom 64 style: 2 votes

So looks like it's a no on ambient MIDIs for the /vr/ project. They do sound great though and I'm sure other people will find a use for them.

>>2837057
Ambient tracks are nice, but I'd rather those ambient tracks would be in the vein of original Doom, given that we're going for a bit of an oldschool style.
