To submit news, please reply to this post.

apparently magicaVoxel now supports making voxels with transparency, i wonder if that works correctly in zdoom

>>2840356
I use FL Studio 11. Should be a torrent around somewhere. Pretty intuitive to use. The help files are your friend if you get stuck. Any DAW would work though. Cubase, Reason, Ableton, Logic Pro, etc. You could even make them in sibelius or guitar pro

This is FL on MIDI:
>>2839007

I've only just recently realized how good the music was for Wolfenstein 3D. Did id hire someone to do the music for them, or did they just do it themselves? I realize that Doom's OST is heavily based around metal songs (sometimes ripping off sections), but it's still pretty obvious talent that they made such memorable and cool music.

>>2839997

In fairness this was like my first actual effort in frankenspriting a gun.

Everything else in Combined_Arms is pretty simple looking

Got map to work.
...Although outside the builder's test it doesn't display textures correctly. I guess I'll have to include them with SLADE or something.

Forgive the shitplay, I probably should put out few more enemies or so, but I am satisfied with it... So far. I'll have to expand it later on and work with textures.

http://webm.host/a9a99/

If I do one short map every week, I might have a silly megawad in little over a half of a year. In less if I settle for fewer maps.

>>2840595
Bobby Prince did all of id's soundtracks from the Keen games up through Doom 2.

>>2840602
Oh, god dammit, I did know that. But thanks, anon!
Would it be too cool for Bethesda to get at least one Bobby Prince track for Doom 4?

>>2840601
Woah, that's oddly similar to a map I'm working on right now.
It's still heavy WIP. Layout isn't even finished.

>>2840602
>Bobby Prince
>1LT platoon leader in Vietnam 1969–70
>Also a qualified Lawyer
interesting...

There was this one CTF user made map for UT99 set in space. Simple design, pretty popular on some of the servers. Two jump pads on each end of the edge of your team's area that would send you to the enemy's base. I distinctly remember this picture of Britney displaying when you were viewing the map in the menu.
Anyone knows the name?

>>2840634
I vaguely remember it too but I can't remember it's name

>>2840634
CTF-w00tabulous?

>>2840647
Holy shit, yes, that's the one! Thanks man!

New DOOM when?
Marathon 3 fucking when? Bungie still owns it and Destiny is such a shit show I guarantee this would be a better product than a Destiny sequel.

Also how popular was Marathon? Everybody knows about Doom but most people I meet have never heard of Marathon. Is it more of a "cult following?"

>>2840601
Yeah, you have to merge the textures into the .wad, otherwise you'd need to run the resource file alongside it every time you play. Doom Builder doesn't merge automatically, unfortunately.

>>2840662
Being a Mac exclusive might have had somethig to do with its obscurity.

>>2840662
Very much so.

>>2840662
>new DOOM when?

anon...

>>2840713
I didn't know it was exclusive. I played it on PC.

>>2840717
I want a release date, dammit.

>>2840634
now i want to masturbate to britney
thanks man

>>2840723
Next spring my friend.

>>2840614
yeah, that's thanks to him that they knew they could get away with sampling so much

so I've never played doom before and my friend told me to try modding it with brutal doom to make it the best experience possible

how do I go about doing that?

>>2840778
>Brutal Doom
>Best experience possible
Your friend is a faggot
Just drag the shit you want onto the gzdoom .exe.

>>2840778
If you gonna use more than just BD, consider ZDoom Loader.

>>2840778

Your friend is a dumbass.

That being said, it's simply a matter of clicking and dragging the .pk3 onto either the Zandronum source port or the ZDoom/GZDoom source port, whichever you prefer.

Is there a (relatively easy) way to get .WADs working within Doom I and II in the Doom 3 BFG editiuon?

Or did I totally fugg up in buying it, since Doom 3 is ruined with more lighting and always-on flashlight?

>>2840901
>Or did I totally fugg up in buying it

Yup.
Even for just normal play, the changed levels and enemies are going to wreck havoc with any mods that use the Wolfenstein SS. Not to mention you're going to get booted from any server you try to join to.

My first custom texture

>Kill the organist
>Organ stops playing

>Press use on the organ
>Makes a ham-fisted mashing sound

Even the most basic scripts can add so much

So I'm playing on some Chocolate Doom and if I play on anything higher than windowed 320x240 the fps drops really low and is bad to play. How do I fix?

>>2841067
If you mean it's playing at 35 fps, that's the framerate doom is originally at.

The fact that i made it this far makes me proud, and also amazed of the fact that everything in Hideous destructor can kill you, but at the same time, everything is useful.

Pic related, Valiant's map 06 See that little spark over there? That's a cacodemon doing his strong blast

>>2840451
>>2841094
Also, now you can officially play Valiant with mods now.
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/84919-valiant-vaccinated-edition/

>>2841087
I don't have a counter, but maybe that's what it is. It does feel like there's half as many and it's kinda jerky. I'm on Doom 2 with Choco, but I played Doom 1 on Steam fullscreen at 1080p and it was smooth as silk.

>>2841094
Woah, congratulations. How did you handle saves and stuff?

I think I never actually got past that level on normal Doom, kek. I should get back to it.

>>2841106
Saves and stuff?
Simple, DON'T SAVE IF THERE IS SOMETHING ALIVE AND YOU ARE NOT UNDER COVER.
Seriously, the second worst mistake (note:first worst mistake is stated on the manual) that you can make in Hideous Destructor is saving when there is a monster nearby. Also, try to save when there is an obvious trap, which happen a lot.
And about stuff, its not exactly hard to handle the inventory, i'm basically invincible because i never run out of things, problem is, said things are hard to use (specially in software mode where smoke can fuck you up if you're using the vulcanette[chaingun] at max rate of fire, that and recoil, specially recoil). Once you learn how to make ammo out of things (i.e. making more cells out of partially spent cells), you become more weapon than man.

Does regular Valiant at least work with Ketchup or will that cause problems?

>>2841121
Ketchup just replaces the blood actor, right? I don't think it'd conflict that much.

Someone made a little DeHacked patch that very effectively added extra gore, it made one of those little blood spots (that you'd usually place when making the map) drop as the blood hits the floor.

>>2841146
Well, it turns out that Ketchup somehow turns the chaingunners into weird looking mancubi that only have half of their death animation when combined with Valiant.

Does anyone know of a bear trap with rotations? Or anything with big metallic teeth? I need it for reasons

>>2841121
>>2841146
>Ketchup just replaces the blood actor, right?

No. It replaces monsters. Ergo it won't work.

>>2841169

I think I might have found something that I can edit and make look nice.

>>2841000
how did this amazing trips post get underappreciated
nice work anon, i'd love to see it in action

>>2841241

That's some really flat shading, though.

>>2841260

I can't shade to save my life.

and I can't ask for help from Sgt Shivers

>>2841102
if you played Doom on Steam as in under DOSBox, then it was limited to 35 FPS as well.

I love the fact that Brutal Doom players can be cheesed by forcing them to telefrag a Pain Elemental, it's hilarious.

>>2841304
What happens when you telefrag a PE in brutal doom? Do the skulls get you?

>>2841241

Oh dear, how the hell does this work

>>2841315
NHB big radius damage occurs on top of you. it's basically like rocketing a wall right next to you.

don't chainsaw a pain elemental either, for the same reason. it explodes and kills you.

>>2841269
Choco's maybe doing half that then I guess, I don't know but most resolutions seem jerky. I set it to windowed 800x600 and it seems fine. I wish I could do it full screen but it cuts off the status bar.

>>2840601
>If I do one short map every week, I might have a silly megawad in little over a half of a year
haha, you are me, in 2005.

i eventually got 5 maps done and a sixth half-finished. they remain unreleased.

>>2841315
You get stuck in the middle of a 220 damage explosion.

>>2841067
Windows 8 user, by any chance?

I feel like the jump in difficulty between HMP and UV in Sunlust is too big and would like HMP to be much harder.

Why is ZDaemon still such garbage?

>>2841259
Latest version just uploaded:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/i40ac6dm61ls8vp/Scerebi_Forest_11.rar

The organ is on the first map, take a right from where you spawn and find a tunnel with some smashable stained glass windows. Make your way into the complex and you'll find the organ.

>>2840451
Latest link above for Scerebi Forest Hub

Looking for gore mod recommendations. Already know about Ketchup and Droplets.

>>2841402
Because it never updated past certain ZDoom builds.

But then, it also fills a niche for second and third world people, you notice there's a lot of Brazilians on ZDaemon, right? That's because gaming is inherently expensive as fuck in Brazil, their gov't puts a gargauntuan fucking tax on any foreign vidya to "incentivise" domestic gaming, so a PS4 costs like 4000 dollars or some other ridiculous number, as a result, HueHues pirate pretty much everything, and clones of Sega consoles are being pushed for cheap by a domestic distributor to this day, since they have the rights. You still see clones of the Megadrive/Genesis being sold there, there was even a quasi official 'port' of Duke 3D for the Genesis on the Brazil market (imagine if they took the concept of Lunar Apocalypse and stuck it in polished Wolf 3D style engine and just made a bunch of original levels for it)

Doom can be found for free on the net easily, and old builds of ZDoom run fine on the computer the typical Brazilian gamer has, Doom is a fun game, ZDaemon offers functional multiplayer, so the math is simple.

It's similar to Heroes 3 in Russia, Poland, and other slav countries, people say 'it's because they have bad computers', but they don't really, they typically don't have monster computers or anything, but they're alright for 2010 standards when on a budget, it's that internet connection is kind of on the slow side, and pricier, so because Heroes 3 has 'Hot Seat' multiplayer (it's like a boardgame on your computer), it's remained a trusted favorite with slavs.

Sometimes, obsolescence has appeal. Something can be dated, but it's still perfectly fine for the purposes of someone who doesn't have very much money. Like used cars, or used guns.

>doom babbies

Guys, where do I find Shadow Warrior

>>2841520
It's free on Steam.

>>2841524
Isn't there another way? I can't use steam because of reasons

>>2841531
I could upload it, I guess. It's just the original game running in DOSBox. Gimme a moment.

>>2841501
>m-maybe if I force this meme some more it'll stick

>>2841531
I torrented it years ago.
To be quite honest desu, it's not even close to as fun as Duke or Blood (though Blood is much, much harder, which not everyone likes)

>>2841531
>>2841538
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48332341/SW.zip
Here you go. Just the original game, music included as OGGs because that's what's in the steam release. Get a source port or play it in DOSBox, I don't know that much about the game so I can't point you in any particular direction.

>>2841538
>>2841552
Thanks, bro

>>2841550
Duke is indeed better, but I feel like playing SW these days.

Scerebi_Forest_7.rar

What iwad/port is this supposed to be played with?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP2am1tDSGg

>>2841681
played through 1 and 2 in order, 2 has its fair share of bad shit, I'll admit, but it didn't take me half as much time to complete as the first one, mainly due to the levels being pretty straightforward and are pretty fun to get through and the gold to shit ratio is like 4:1. maps 25-27 are fucking slogs and map24 is a meme in its own

CC1 is mostly shit, sadly. Some maps can be enjoyable somewhat but most of them simply either take forever to complete or are just confusing for the sake of it. MAP29 is one of the worst maps I ever witnessed.

>>2841715
Hexen

>>2841745
Thanks.

It sucks though. Seems to favour Mage?

>>2841681
1 has a couple decent maps, but mostly bad.
2 is a mixed bag.
3 and 4 are generally pretty good.

>>2841647
/vr/ is doing an episode 1 replacement in Boom
If it goes well, we might look at making a second episode after it's finished.

Blood source port when?

>>2841728
>MAP29 is one of the worst maps I ever witnessed.
What exactly is so terrible about it? I'm watching a demo right now and it seems fine (although huge).

>>2841000
sounds really neat, mind making a webm of it ?

>>2841824
When Atari stops being a shit.

>>2841882
Never, then.

I am actually curious now. Are there any Hideous Destructor orientated wads? I had an idea for (small) mapset balanced over a not-doomguy trying to fuck off from Hell.

>>2841839
suggestion to play it and find out. watching demos makes maps look easy.

>>2841894
Either that or if Devolver Digital does actually get half a million dollarydoos and decides to give it to Atari, then we might actually have an official source port in the same fashion as Duke 3D Megaton Edition and Shadow Warrior Classic Redux.

I wish lift-exits didn't involve voodoo-magic, as easy as it is. I kinda want to gradient the light without jumping through hoops.
Maybe it's because I am Booming. Maybe with ZDoom I could do it with less effort.

Are there any RPG games made with the doom engine or similar? Something like Ultima Underworld or Daggerfall.

>>2842020
Hexen. Heretic

>>2841715
Try the latest version if you like
>>2841403

>>2842006
>lift exit with lighting fade-out
you're caring too much about irrelevant visual detail, this is a waste of time that should be spent on tuning gameplay.

>>2841374
nah, Win7

Are you allowed to release commercial games using the GZ/ZDoom engine?

>>2841980
500 000 is a fair bit of cash, but not insurmountable.

It could be kick-startered, but the question is if there's enough market interest for them to be able to drum that money up in time.

>>2842235
Try disabling Aero. Something about it fucks up SDL games, makes them run really slowly.

How do you guys feel about secrets that require you to shoot walls? How do you guys feel about those compared to more traditional activate secrets?

And what about elevators? So you prefer to have a switch activate them or just activate them by using them? Doom seems to have a fair number of both types but I feel it is important to be consistent on which one you use in a level.

>>2842245

No, the engines are chock full of horrible license wrangling.
Try GLOOME or GZDoom GPL, both of those handle the license wrangling.

Does anyone notice that Doom has a built-in delay when you fire your weapon?
Doesn't matter when you're holding it down, but it gets annoying if you're trying to hit a moving target, or get the drop on anything.
Is there a fix or am I doomed to endure the lag forever?

>>2842293
I don't know about you, but that delay is part of what makes the weapons feel really fucking satisfying.

>>2842271
>How do you guys feel about secrets that require you to shoot walls?
as long as you can tell that you'd have to shoot it, sure, that's a nice change

>So you prefer to have a switch activate them or just activate them by using them?
both, everytime

>>2842306
>the delay makes it better
I fucking knew people would say that

>>2842346
You seem lightly salted, my friend.
What do you have against the delay?
The fact that you have an issue with it, honestly just means that you're shit at the game, and can't acclimate to the feeling of different weapons.
It's not a bug, it was put intentionally into the game, and if you actually have a functioning brain that can learn how to time your shots, you shouldn't have any fucking problems in the first place.

>>2842293

There isn't really a "fix", especially considering it's not really a bug, but I slapped together a quick wad removing the delay just4u.

http://www.best-ever.org/download?file=noweaponprefirelag.wad

Kept it in for the BFG and Rocket Launcher since, well, that's the entire fucking point of the weapons.
Chaingun/Plasma Rifle didn't have it, so those are unedited too.

>>2842359
Thanks!
but I just downloaded this one
http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=38235
but yours doesn't have weapon switch editing so maybe I'll use yours after all

>>2842265
What is Aero?

>>2842437
It's the glassy look Windows 7 gives your task bar and windows, it also includes stuff like previews of windows and other things like that.

>>2842437
The glassy window graphics in Windows 7. Turning it off means to use the Windows Classic or Basic themes.

You can also rightclick chocolate-doom.exe, click Properties, then tick the box as seen here to make it turn off automatically when playing. I do this for choco doom, ecwolf, and quakespasm. They all have issues with Aero.

>>2842318
>as long as you can tell that you'd have to shoot it

Any good examples of this? As far as vanilla DOOM and DOOM II goes I can't think of any shoot-the-wall secrets where I didn't activate it purely by accident.

>>2842470
i don't really have any examples in mind besides the cracked walls in DN3D (and i think someone made proper blastable walls in a demo wad posted here)

maybe a switch up in the air in a cart track (i think there was something like that in half life)

>>2841435
Almost any PC release on Brazil's Steam can be found for R$120,00 (31 dollars). It's even cheaper on Russia. People still play Zdaemon because they are dumb. Simple put.

>>2842470
top: pl2map20, hidden switch texture outside map boundary
bottom: btsx_e1 map13, switch halfway up a wall, have to find way up to ledge at same height

>>2842456
>>2842462
Thanks bros, it works a lot better now. Before whenever I would set it to 1080p fullscreen it would cut off the edges. Somehow clicking the desktop composition box now makes it all fit on the screen and it runs really fast and smooth, like in >>2842006's webm. That feels a whole lot higher than 35 fps to me though. It's nice.

Is there a V-sync option anywhere? There's some slight tearing but if not that's fine.

>>2842293
Yeah I notice. It's kinda annoying.
>>2842306
I disagree.

>>2842558
another, a switch inside a small tunnel that's hard to spot. the switch is clearly out of reach. eternal is fond of these, his maps are full of them, this is epic2 map28.

>>2842558
>>2842602
Neat. Thanks.

>>2842614
i think the main things to take away are

- use an actual switch texture. both because it is something the player recognises as an object to be interacted with, and because it has visual and audible feedback when that happens.

- put it somewhere it's not obviously reachable: on a ledge, out in space, in a hole, behind a tree, etc.

it's particularly good if you reserve a particular switch texture only for use on shootable lines, establishing a convention. if it fits the theme of your map, the eye from SW1SKIN is a common choice, being quite unique. or you can go as far as icarus, and have a bullseye texture, although i don't think it was an actual switch texture so it didn't change when shot. but the intent was obvious.

Anyone here know a good place to still get a quality DOOM poster?
Shit on Etsy and Ebay seems shady, so I just want some advice from people who know where to look.

>tfw it takes me 19 hours to beat a 1 hour game

I'm not retarded right? Doom's pretty spooky. I gotta go slow and be thorough so some shotgun guy doesn't shoot me in the back.

>>2842810
Par times were set by Romero running straight for the exit as quickly as he could and then rounding his time up to the nearest 30 seconds. Don't feel bad about not matching them.

>>2842810
Those are minutes, aren't they?

>>2840449
I love Cacodemons so much.

For some reason, I can't get ANY sound in Chocolate Doom now.
Just stopped all of a sudden.
The fuck is up?

>>2842470
Quake 1 and 2 have some really good use of shootable switch/decoration secrets.

>>2842602
I fucking hate these types of hidden switches, they're bullshit and awful design.
FrozenT.wad is guilty of having one that's required to actually finish the level.

>>2842849
Did you turn off music? That's a known bug for some systems with certain synth settings I think. I forget which ones.

>>2842858
>they're bullshit and awful design.

Why?

>>2842952
Ridiculously hard to see due to the slanted hole's textures lining up with the wall around it.

Tunnel switches (and shootable switches in general) are fine if the hole is in a direction or area the player wouldn't usually pay attention to during gameplay, for example outside the play area, around a corner or near the ceiling.
Tunnel switches are not fine if they require the player to sit on an exact 8 pixel thick line and face the correct angle in some obscure spot in a room.

>>2843003

This nigga

This nigga right here has a mouthful of truth

What's the best way to host a dedicated Hexen 2 server? Source ports or wut?

>>2841897
Any mapset that gives you cover or fighting monsters from safe positions. An example would be Dimensions of Time, this wad doesn't throw you too many monsters yet it can be a challenge. It breaks sometimes though (map07:fatsos block teleporters, gotta kick their fat bodies and let the rest spawn, map 21 to 23 crash the game somehow, cheat your way out of them)

>>2843003
I would agree with you if those switches were required to finish. But they're usually done for secrets.

>Tunnel switches are not fine if they require the player to sit on an exact 8 pixel thick line and face the correct angle in some obscure spot in a room.
is your problem that they are too hard to find or too hard to aim at? you should not be having problems with "standing on an exact 8 pixel line and turning to the correct angle".

And that's all folks!

>>2843071
>>2843142

>>2843149
if that's not a joke edit and actually serious... it looks like it's been designed for a far higher resolution and the game has smooshed it all together. i've seen mods whose authors use widescreen res width 1280 or greater and thus whose huds fail completely at 640x480.

it is likely a joke edit though with the burgers, wicked "SIK", etc. it's only missing a doritos ad.

>>2843276
>if that's not a joke edit

It isn't.

>>2843260
Too obscure, you find them mostly by accident, they don't feel like you accomplished anything, rather a similar feel to entirely unmarked/unhinted secret doors that only a wallhumper, cheater, or the mapmaker would know about. I'd say the "8 pixel line" is pretty bad, unless it's done from an important point in the room, like a pedestal or marking on the floor.

rip

>>2843337
Hey, you're still alive. Just noting that some of the vrskins have the UNF when you jump, which shouldn't happen.

I honestly don't get the overreaction to Terry WADs. Seriously. They're just WADs that troll you by posing as legitimate WADs, and fuck you over at some point during it. I can understand why you would get mad at them, but if you don't like them, just ignore them. Getting visibly angry at them will only make it grow stronger.

>>2843302
Shootable switches are ok for secrets or maybe 'punishment' traps but making them mandatory in hidden away to progress is pretty dumb, the game gives you a use key for a reason. Then again it's not like you can force a mapmaker to make maps a certain way but not everyone wants to play Professor Layton while trying to figure out how the hell to get that blue key on the pillar.

>>2843302
in my experience there is usually something else in a room that makes me think to look around for such a hidden switch. you got to develop your "nose for secrets".

>>2843347
I'm not entirely convinced that updating the skin package is worth it, especially with how big the file has gotten. If more interest in skins pops up then maybe it'll get an update, maybe a file split since some people really hate the less doom-y skins and model rips.

Also lazy. You probably know how it is...

>>2843359
and yes this may involve studying the zoomed-in automap for anomalies, but no you should not need to iddt.

>>2843349
As someone who played on Skulltag, it was very hard to ignore the fact people naming their wads similar to stuff that was played a lot, make a server and then you'd get TerryWAD'd on the ears and also fucked up your .ini sideways.

Seriously, its hard to ignore a giant bunch of absolute retards that make shit for the sake of making shit, and the worst part is that it keeps happening.

>>2843362
Hmm, understood, just note it up whenever you're going to pick up vrskins again, regardless of when.

Are there any freetards here? I'm having quite a bit of trouble trying to run Chex Quest in linux (Lubuntu).

First I tried the windows exe (http://www.chucktropolis.com/downloads/ChexQuest3.zip)) under WINE, but it just crashes with a fatal error on launch.

Next, I downloaded chocolate doom and set up the controls and got the base game running great. However, when I try to use an external WAD with the -file flag, it tells me

" You cannot -file with the shareware version. Register! "

which is a bit confusing to me as I was under the impression that id released the project as free software.

I would like to run this with chocolate doom as I would like the game to look the way it did to me in 1997. I had a hippie non-violent mom so this was my first real taste of DOOM and it was excellent. Any advice (beyond "install windows) is welcomed.

>>2843441
I don't have a lot of experience with linux, but have you tried another source port? Prboom works on linux so maybe give that one a try.

http://prboom.sourceforge.net/linux.html

>>2843441
>>2843456
Chex Quest 3 requires ZDoom or a derivative, unlike the previous versions that were just extensive DEHACKED work. I think there's a repository for Linux builds, but honestly compiling isn't that hard. Just follow the instructions on the wiki and you should be fine.

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Compile_ZDoom_on_Linux

>>2843456

I tried prboom, but at least by default everything was much too high-res and smooth for my liking, takes away some of the nostagia factor. I have not tried loading external wads with it yet, will do that and report back.

Does anyone have the (registered) 1.9 version of Doom1.WAD?

I found several versions of 1.8 floating around the internet but chocolate-doom does not like it very much and crashes when the demo plays. All the patching solutions I've found are windows .exe and not a nicer format like .ips that I could apply myself.

If you're not sure what you have, v1.8 has md5sum: 5f4eb849b1af12887dec04a2a12e5e62 so it's *not* that.

>>2843461

Good idea, and thanks for the reply. I found a .deb but it crashes on launch, error message says I need OpenGL 3.0 or better and I only have 2.1

Truth be told I never played 2 or 3, so for nostalgia purposes 1 is all I care about. Partly what's stoked this desire is that I'm setting up a netbook with a bunch of emulators and old games for a 9-year-old (charity program). I want to send him some fun games but I don't know just what crosses the line in terms of his mom/violence etc. Chex Quest is Hank Hill approved "good clean fun".

But yeah the bottom line is I'd like to get something that he can just launch from emulationstation and quit out of with a simple escape button or in-game menu etc. I don't mind launching a VM to play but I don't think that's a great idea for a nine year old without someone there to walk him through it.

hmm... just found a youtube video of someone playing in dosbox, that looks more promising

Thank you for reading my blog

SUCCESS!

The version at http://www.myabandonware.com/game/chex-quest-2e4 runs properly under dosbox. It does not include the silly intro movie or any music, but the core gameplay is intact. I might try to figure out how to hack Doom 1's music into it just for fun.

At some point I'd like to figure out how to load arbitrary wads into chocolate doom, but this is good enough for now.

For any other freetards out there: I have now gotten music and the video to work (sort of). Switching the 'Music Sound Card' from 'General Midi' to 'Sound Blaster' (leave it on the default, port 220) brought back the weird jazzy soundtrack, and the "intro.smk" and "end.smk" movies are both playable with avplay.

>Are there any freetards here?
calling people freetards is likely to make them not want to help you. nevertheless
>I was under the impression that id released the project as free software.
they did. they released the engine. the game data is not free software and has never been. you evidently only have the shareware version of the game data. that is what this error is about.
>I would like to run this with chocolate doom
i suggest you follow the instructions here
http://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Chex_Quest
in short you (presumably) need to use -iwad instead of -file

>>2843491
>At some point I'd like to figure out how to load arbitrary wads into chocolate doom
you need the iwads, doom.wad and doom2.wad, the full versions of the game. see the faq for downloads. (don't buy the games unless you really believe the hideous media conglomerate that bought the rights deserve your money.)

I just played that level from a UV pistol start for the first time in a while. It was WAY more difficult than I remember, the amount of hitscanners and pain elementals is out of fucking control.

My strategy was to head to the room that is straight through and to the left from the start, grab the blue armor and stockpile ammo from all the zombies and sergeants. What really makes it hard is that there is no super shotgun anywhere in the level.

>>2844826
Nah, I showed Action Doom 2 to a friend, but he got offended by the "homophobia" at the end of the first level (yeah he is your typical leftist weedhead hipster). If the creator is also a homo, this would invalidade my friend's statement.

>>2844863

If you're >>2844863, tell your friend to mellow out and stop taking everything so seriously.

>>2844931
Oh, and if your friend happens to not be gay himself, tell him to stop being offended on behalf of other people.

I just gave Aeons of Death a try again and I forgot how much of a clusterfuck it is. The weapons are a mish-mash of shit that don't even fit the themes you choose, and whether you're tearing your way through demons, pigcops or mutant ninjas the mod still throws this occult theme at you regularly. If the weapons were consistent then maybe it'd be amusing but it really is only good for when you want a clusterfuck of everything.

there's times and cases where people oftentimes take back jokes they made in past times because they were either made in bad taste, extremely low-brow to the point of embarrassment, or mostly because they were just not fun at all

It's a pretty decent map already Anon, even longer than maps like e2m2 or e3m7. you could just have the exit behind that blue door.

I mean, I was going to suggest trying for a fresh new level if you want to keep going, but I don't know if the project accepts more than one map per person. (probably, with the apparent amount of people working on it)

>Fuck archviles
cacobro's working on it lol

Working on a HUD finally, the guy behind the HXRTC HUD was nice enough to let me use his, and Sgt Shivers helped me pick out a nicer color scheme, though I got a few small roadblocks

Should I have the axe and bat meters be part of the main ammo box or just add separate bars as players find those weapons?

What'd be the best way to convey Axe charge? Seeing as right now using the altfire consumes half of the axe mana, so maybe making a half of the bar red? I'll need a different color for the bar too when it's in that cooldown state if you fully expend all of the mana

I don't like how the keys are on the left and right like that, so I'm probably gonna put them all on one side, which side would you guys prefer?

Is there an alternative to "info" console command in ZDoom? It prints too much and if you bind it, useful stuff doesn't fit into the on-screen message log.

>>2845540
fwiw i prefer health+armor on left and ammo+keys on right. but i don't really care, i can adapt.

i would like to ask that you try to make sure it works (no information is overlapped) at 640x480, though... i seem to recall gmota having some issues in that area.

>>2845540
>axe and bat meters
it's a bit pointless having them on screen all the while, if you don't have the weapons/don't have them currently out

>>2845550

I'll move the keys over to the right, and I'm gonna lower the level stats til it's above HP and armor.

and GMOTA's HUD is fucking awful because I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm left to my own devices on a HUD, I'm editing the HXRTC HUD so it's coming along far cleaner, as pictured here.

>>2845552

The axe might be pointless but I'm tweaking the bat where it it builds a charge everytime you hit a monster, and slowly drains until it hits 100%, then once you hit 100% charge you can actually use the bat's more powerful attacks.

So having an onscreen indicator of how the bat is doing would probably be useful.

Happy Birthday Doom.

>>2845556
>So having an onscreen indicator of how the bat is doing would probably be useful.
right well it seems like you've answered your own question then. axe meter when axe selected, bat meter when bat weapon owned.

>>2845557
Unf! Yes. I'm ready to kick butt!

>>2845562

Fair enough, I can just show axe "ammo" in the ammo box when you have it active, it's a low maintenance weapon anyway

Should I stick with numbers or should I have it be a bar? I know a lot of you guys prefer numbers on your weapons and shit

>>2845279
>>2844460

I was more interested in their idea of making a modern equivilent of boothill.wad

Would love to see some westerns, with some love and attention paid to the guns, that there'd be some cap & ball guns in there too, along with later cartridge guns.

Your starting weapon is some caplock revolver which can shoot every bit as fast as a Single Action Army, it just takes way longer to reload and isn't as powerful. I can envision cavalry sabers for melee, shotguns, sticks of dynamite, etc.

>>2845453

>>2845608
>>2845614
what're the wads you're playing there?

>>2845521
In my opinion, hi-res textures only go well if it fits the definition of the polygons it goes on.

The original Doom levels all had relatively simple and straight-forward geometry.
Applying hi-res textures onto that looks really awkward.

Minecraft is based on graphical simplicity, but when you put a super hi-res texture pack on it, a lot of it looks weird and unappealing, the spider now has photorealistic, crystal-clear textures, but the model definition is still boxes, it looks weird.

Look at a game like Quake, Half-Life or Morrowind, they have relatively blocky and jagged models, with not a whole lot of faces, you can put really high res textures on them, but it will look really off.
Or hell, even simpler, Wolfenstein 3D, imagine that with 512x texture photo-realistic walls, and the enemies are now huge images made from digitized actors, but they still have the same number of frames, they still have the same number of rotations, they still animate at the same speed as before. You need more than just a high resolution.

You really need to have the geometry to match if you're going to use hi-res textures, or it'll look cheap, like illustrated here: >>2845525

You can have hi-res models and hi-res textures, and you can have low-res models and low-res textures, but you can't really mix the two without it looking out of place and half-assed.

At least, that's my opinion.

Is there a boom function to lower the brightness on these upper textures here?

>>2845623
That was meant to come with an image.

Happy birthday to Doom

>>2845624
as far i know there is no transfer light to sidedef.
i guess they missed a trick there.

>>2845618
Oh, thx for explaining.

I was thinking about 1024 maps. Had idea about a 1024x1024 map which is divided into four sections and automatically cycling doors. Although, it might be horrible to balance ( idea was that three rooms are for getting keys hidden in lowering pillar, while one of the rooms is full of ammo / health packets.
Perch for arch-viles and other nasties.

damnit

>>2845735
>1024x1024 map which is divided into four sections and automatically cycling doors
i'm sure i've seen something like this already. 1024clau map06?

>>2845754
Tried it, not really. What the idea is that the rooms are connected in ring but seperated by doors, cycling either clockwise or counterclockwise, opening and closing so that two rooms are connected from time to time.

But how to use this in interesting ways? Dunno.

When I try to run newer versions of GZDoom, "static" graphics don't show at all: The menu is a black screen, and if I start the game, I don't see the HUD.
I had to use version 1.8 because that happens with all releases of branch 2.0, but now I need to update because of the bugfixes.
How do I fix that?

>>2845834
GZDoom 2.x needs graphics hardware / drivers that support OpenGL 4.4. try upgrading your drivers. also, know this is a rather controversial subject with some people.

>>2845856
Probably a stupid question, but how do I upgrade my drivers?

>>2845856
Also, what exactly is a controversial subject? 1.8 vs 2.0? Or asking about why 2.0 doesn't work?

How fast have you ever lost interest in a megawad?

>>2843676
Claude here. I agree. They're bullshit. One of the things I wished hadn't made it into BTSX, but hey, whatyagonnado?

>>2845863
Well, depends. Are you using ATI or NVIDIA? Just go to their website, they can usually point you to right drivers.

...Although if you are using ATI, you might be in poor luck. I am using ATI and my latest drivers do jackshit, so I have to run the game in software rendering-mode ( in .ini just set vid_renderer 0, or in console )

>>2845880
Yeah, like you really are CSonicGo. Fuck off.

If you are actually CSonicGo, fuck off anyway, sonicfag.

>>2845879
>How fast have you ever lost interest in a megawad?

map06 of the very same megawad. Something about The Crusher just bored me to tears and it being followed up by Dead Simple doesn't make it any better.

>>2845879
>>2845938
it's like cchest, not great but has some maps worth playing. map15 was good, iirc.

:^)

You know what would be cool?

A service like idgames but you can rate the maps individually.

>>2845969
how far has that map set gotten now?

So did anyone manage to rip the menu music from the alpha? It was fucking brutal.

>>2845979
The version i have only has until Map 7, i don't know if there's and update with more maps.

>>2845618

This is a good post.

Can someone talk me into finishing it?
I kinda feel bad for not completing the whole thing.

>>2845987

Nope. A lot of the later Doom 2 levels are trash.
Doom 1 is the important one.

Get as far as you want to go and then start playing mapsets.

So apparently yesterday, Audrey Hodges went onto Doomworld and said he'd be bringing an updated special edition of the PSX Doom soundtrack, with an updated main and end theme (with and without voices), some new sounds/instrumentation he couldn't do before due to the limitations of the hardware, extended versions of all the songs, and even five whole new songs. All to celebrate 20 years since the release of the PSX port that happened on November 15th, 1995.

Can't wait to see this.

>>2845910
wow rude

>>2845987
>Can someone talk me into finishing it?
Sure. You're banned from posting here until you finish it.

>>2845994
Fuck yes. I love the his Doom soundtracks.
Especially his Final Doom soundtrack.

I can assure you that something is/was the architecture and decoration straight out of a '95 map.

MAP06's orthogonality killed ANY interest people had in the rest of the wad. MAP07 was the final nail in the coffin.

I need some really awesome wads. You guys know any?

>>2846012
>MAP06's orthogonality
hmm yes but i think the bunch of irritating floor raising puzzles culminating in the giant invisible crusher maze full of archviles had more to do with it

>>2846018

Doom.wad is pretty cool imo

>>2846018
What are you looking for?

>>2846018
join me in playing through H2H-XMAS. it's seasonal!

>>2846018

Yes.

D2TWID wasn't very fun in general. Doom 2 wasn't very good map design at all in my opinion, but D2TWID only exacerbates that by making it even more obvious that levels are either linear as hell (no pun intended) or an abstract mess that loops in on itself with no real fun way to play them.

Maybe that was the intention since Doom 2 was also like that, though.

>>2846025
>And all through those years, Ty Halderman has collected, hosted, and offered downloads

Not anymore.
RIP.

>>2846027
i liked it, but i like those kind of maps with complex routes that loop around themselves. map19 was a gem.

i don't recall that much excess linearity (but i'm been saving maps 21 onward for a rainy day)

Woah, looks like we're gonna get some more content/gameplay footage for the new DOOM later today.

I really hope that we get a full SDK. Snapmap is cool for consoles adn cross platform sharing, but I want full mods.

>Complex doom didn't win the multi award even though 78% of zand plays it.

>>2846086
It's shit.

>>2846085
Rage-like SDK will be more of a hinder really.

>>2846087
please speculate why.

Pretty much.
It's the king of all randomizer mods, with all the bullshit that entails.

>>2846090
>speculate

I speculate that after having his world shattered by the concept of add-ons, Daedalus tried to hack his way into Doomworld and was caught, being exiled from the forum community at large. This left only his servers full of kissasses to take comfort in.
Because of this, the Cacoward crew made a secret, new criteria for inclusion: You must have a forum topic of a mod with at least three pages to be eligible for awards.

The Zandronum userbase cried communism at this, and stood up to protest, then sat right back down because that was enough exercise for the day. Daedalus still sits in wait in his servers, bathing in the nothing-but-positive feedback of his playerbase, daring not to venture out again for fear that the dual punch of both criticism and add-ons will prod at his bum.

But there will be a reckoning, oh yes there will be. It will be a long and complicated reckoning, but it would bring them down for sure.
You could say it would lead to their complex doom.

>>2846091
it offers variety in situations where you only have one life & a multitude of weapons, so you have to determine which weapon is suitable for that moment or you will die. also, it depends on your patience & teamwork to beat the enemy.

>>2846079
Neat.
>>2846085
If they release a full SDK it will be a good while after release. They really wanna push Snapmap.

is it just me or is 4chin servers crapping themselves up again?

>>2846098
They are.

>>2846098
4chan has gone completely off the rails. Don't close the thread or you will never come back.

>>2846101
good, i was about to throw my router through the window.

>>2846086

Complex Doom isn't really a multiplayer mod, it's a gameplay mod that gets played a lot in multiplayer.
Take something like Samsara, which is specifically designed for multiplayer and DM, and something like DoomRL Arsenal, which is incredibly fun and a blast in multiplayer but is functionally no different when in singleplayer

Also Complex Doom is bad

>>2846102
Yeah, this.

Mootwo doesn't have any idea of what's happening, by the way. Shit fixed itself yesterday, apparently.

>>2845879
I was almost losing interest in Valiant, it was too difficult and slaughtery to me.

I cleared up to Ep2 and it was pretty rough, but then I found out there's Vaccinated Edition, so I decided, what the hell, I'll go back to my favorite gameplay mod, Accessories To Murder, but more importantly, I got that fragchuck thing working, and I gradually got used to it, and let me tell you, I have never felt so used to slaughter gameplay ever before.

Valiant is still hard, frustrating even, Map 31 had a particular amount of hurdles, and way more monsters at once than I like, but oh man, smooth analog movement with the smooth freelook of a mouse, I set the sensitivity high, and turn on always run, when I need to move slow, I just nudge the stick slightly, it REALLY allows me to maneuver in ways that the WASD keys just wouldn't let me.

Now, the 'shoulder' buttons/triggers are absolute rubbish, mushy, unclear break, and I really wish it had more face-buttons, and clearer instructions, the stick is a bit stiffer than I'd like, but just the comfort of having mouse-look + 360 degree analog movement, god, when you get the feel down, you can move like a fucking beast.

The product isn't excellent (it's adequate), but I would love to see the concept gain traction, because I'd love to see different takes on it by different manufacturers.

>>2846095
that's quite an imagination

>>2846107

Hey, he said to speculate.

>>2846106
>it REALLY allows me to maneuver in ways that the WASD keys just wouldn't let me.
i understand this completely, i rather use the vertical axis of my mouse for small forward/backward movement than keys

>>2846102
it seems to have fixed itself now.

>>2846109
Using a mouse for movement is an interesting experience, I do it for Wolfenstein, since there's zero point or ability for looking up or down, you only have your mouse for turning. I tried it once, I set controls so that I can move back and forth when moving the mouse back and forth, as well as holding down the mouse-wheel to strafe with the mouse, in addition to the WASD keys, this really gives you remarkable control in the space of the game, the mouse allows for EXQUISITE and precise maneuvering.

>>2846112
praise the lord

>>2846106
I've long wondered what it would be like to play a FPS with my left hand holding a controller and my right hand on a mouse, I should actually try it one of these days

>>2846136
The only company I know which makes an analog chuck intended to be paired with a mouse is this SplitFish company.

They make variants for the PS3 and X360, actually shipping with a mouse compatible with the consoles (at least, with console ports that actually have compatibility with a mouse), though I hear that the mouse they make for consoles aren't very good, that they are kind of floaty and imprecise.

You could just plug in a regular USB controller and hold that in your left hand, and then use a mouse, but the right side of the pad would weigh you down and it'd feel kind of unbalanced. The Fragchuck is wireless (and it also has a cut-out/slot for attaching a wrist-lanyard, like on a WiiMote chuck, I used the lanyard from my old broke DS).

Again, I wish more companies explored this concept, I think they have a fantastic idea, but the product leaves things to be desired, though for 60 bux (with free shipping), it's not bad, it feels REALLY good to play Doom with analog stick + mouse.
