quite. but even in vanilla, the bullet range is twice the autoaim range.

>>3033823
>>3033825
Thanks for the webm's anon. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to fix up the teleporter trap while I was mapping, but hey at least it works.

>>3033978 >>3033985 >>3033989
Well, someone posted the link in the last thread, it seemed to garner enough interest there to be worth a mention. Sorry if it's controversial, I'll take it out of next thread if you hate it that much. At least it proves people occasionally actually read the news post!

>>3033984
Funnily enough, that's been in the past few threads' news posts, but it was just pushed off the end... Will repost.

>>3034012

I kinda wonder how BTSX E3 will end

Hope they have the final level be a proper big level. Maybe do something thats a mix of Eternal Doom's Excalibur, and Scythe's Fire & Ice.

>>3034084
a pure white empty box, most likely

To the anon who mentioned Oblige in the previous thread, thanks. I could use something like this to throw up some quick doom levels, though the one episode I just generated seemed to have some repetitive "traps". (Oh a supershotgun, how many doors will this open)

>love doom and quake 3
>hate quake and quake 2
How do I get into them?

>shooting
>weird movement
>what the fuck am I looking at
All my problems with the first 2 Quakes.

>>3034170
(Link to Strife mod I was posting about in the Strife thread.)

>>3034265
Play Q1 through a source port I guess. I think it has great movement. You'll appreciate the level design once you get into it I think.

Quake 2 isn't honestly that much fun. It's kind of slow and easy with boring (gameplay wise, they look pretty cool) levels

>>3034265
realize that not every game is a fucking rainbow and play more until you grow accustomed to seeing shit.

>>3034265
My problem with Quake was that the shooting didn't feel good. The shotguns are some of the worst I've ever seen in any video game. Fucking amazing considering it's the same guys who made the Super Shotgun

>>3034279
Yeah that's my problem, it's hard to explain but shooting isn't as "instant" as Doom.

>>3034265
Skip the first 2 quakes, and play BTSX.

>>3034298
>>3034273
>>3034265
I don't understand why people hate on Quake 2 so much, I think it's a fun game.

>>3034097
You know us so well, anon.

>>3034308
I think Quake 2 was decent. I prefer it over 1, mainly for its variety of enemies.

Weapons feel odd in Q2 though. The recoil on the machine gun particularly never felt good to me.

Okay /vr/ - I'm a little burnt out on coding for a bit and I wanna make a quick map. Anyone fancy giving me an idea & a time limit?

>>3034358
Make a beautiful piece of art that plays extremely well. Time limit: 10 minutes

I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE

>>3034358
What about a map that takes place on skyscraper rooftop? With white fog around it/in the sky so you can't see the ground.
2 hours?

>>3034363
Here's your art
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbbrvcqndbhgo9l/10mins.wad?dl=0

>>3034376
Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a shot.

>>3034381
>>3034376
I'm starting now. Got my timer ready.

>>3034358
Map on a Train (Moving train?) time limit 4 hours?
Map focused on secrets, hard map but easier if you find secrets, secrets lead to shortcuts or hide big areas that are challenging but provide rewards. Time limit, 4 hours?

Hot off the press
Hope that one anon likes it

Get it? Hot?

>>3034381
>Here's your art

>>3034404
Not that guy but I like it. Should have been "This is UNF" maybe?

Should I have auto aim on if I'm using freelook?

Sorry for newbie question.

>>3034417
I'd absolutely leave it off.

So I've tried my hand at streaming a while ago, but due to several reasons, I haven't done so in a while. I've been thinking of getting back into it, however. So I decided it'd be cool to stream Doom 4 once it comes out for all of you guys to see (if I have the time to do so that is).

So I'll prolly do that, but seeing that Doom 4 is kind of, well, not out yet, I thought it'd be cool to stream vanilla/modded Doom stuff to tide me over. If you guys are interested, what would you like to see me stream? I don't have any planned times to do so, but I might try streaming tonight if I can.

>>3034410

>>3034325
just extrapolating from the "end of time" motif seen in the last map of e2. i assume at the end of e3 you will have destroyed reality itself.

either that or it'll all be a hallucination/psychosis and you'll wake up in a padded cell - the intermission texts read like a man slowly going mad.

>>3034417
>>3034419
Followup question: How to actually turn it off? I'm running GZDoom and when I turn the slider for autoaim all the way down in player setup, it doesn't do anything and goes back up when I leave the menu.

>>3034434
I think you should change the thing that probably says "always" right now to "never"

>>3034424
gr8 m8

>>3034434
>>3034438
I used the console to set it to 0 which worked

Strangely enough there isn't a thing that says always or never or what have you, it's a slider.

>>3034434
use the keyboard arrows.

it refuses to work with the cursor for some unknown fucking reason.

>>3034445
I haven't updated in few months or so, so I guess it's a recent change.

>>3032697
>political correctness
Where is my /po/.wad

Is there a mod that shows enemy health bars?

Anyone excited for the new DDR game?

>>3034308
>>3034338
I rejoice a lot in Quake 2 as well. The mission packs are great too.

>>3034417
Should I turn on freelook and why?

>>3034492
Because it's 2016. Plus most mods are designed with freelook in mind and many don't even support autoaim.

>>3034492
Should with no auto aim.
>Being able to choose targets between heights
>Rockets will go straight and where you point the launcher
It's also just looks better in general, in classic DOS versions it always looked weird when you shot a wall and the bullets oddly warps to the monster on top of the wall.

>>3034492
In hexen, strife and heretic you should have freelook on. In doom you can do as you wish for official and vanilla-compatible maps, but maps made for modern ports are probably designed with freelook in mind.

It makes the game a bit easier (being able to shoot monsters higher up or lower down than you more easily, easier to use rocket launcher splash damage) but also more comfortable to many people (at least in an opengl renderer so there's no screen warping)

>>3034012

Wow, in the middle of the thread.

>>3033920
>[02-28] Zero Tolerance 2016 has been released

Okay 2 hours is up. Here's what I've got:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7ws00ra123vnq8/skyscraper%20speedmap.wad?dl=0

I haven't speedmapped before, heck it usually takes 2 hours to make one room for me so this certainly was a challenge.

>>3034557
this is really good!

here is a four and a half minute long zdoom 2.8.1 recording

http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=br86kz

unfortunately it does not exit because i couldn't get the walls around it to lower. i also missed two secrets.

>>3034571
Oops, that's the problem with speedmapping, you often overlook shit like that! I hadn't set the floor to lower by any value when the baron dies.

Also the floor heights are all fucked up for some strange reason, if you redownload it, the map should be fixed.

IRL Doom when

>>3034628
after l.a is invaded.

>>3034628

>MMMMARS

Why is Doom nightmare so difficult? Quake nightmare is a cakewalk, and Quake 3 is also pretty doable.

>>3034557
Shiiieeet. Just my luck that i'm completely outclassed not even 24 hours after I post my 2 hour speedmap. Good stuff.

>>3034738
Really? I'm glad you think so highly of it.
I think I could've done better, as its a bit short.

>>3034279
Enemies are quite spongy.
Rocket launcher and grenade launcher are the stars of the show. Fairly intededly so.
>>3034282
Which is weird considering Doom has a noticeable fire delay.

Oh hey, Slade got updated.

>can't play MIDIS now at all.

>>3025293
Well, congratulations with the first map, but it has some issues.
First, misalligned texture, weird effect with the medpack on the celling aftr the yellow door and another one - near the door to room with computers.
Second, the hallways with monsters are too predictable, and the room with yellow key is totally unfair.
Third, first time i got to the hall with archvile, i fell into the pit with zombiemen, killed em all because i landed on top of one of them and then was stuck because archvile didnt see me. Second, i bypassed him completely without even fighting because he faced the opposite direction of the player teleporting to the blue key. Fuck first two issues, but that one wasnt really thought out well.

Serious question; What is the point of zdoom now when its branches of gzdoom and zandronum do so much more? Can zdoom even do truecolor mode?

>>3034920
>Serious question; What is the point of zdoom
Paletted graphics have an aesthetic quality of their own, which you can also manipulate with custom colormaps (btsx for example).

>>3034936
Yes, I know their artistic value all too well, but all the same, sometimes I need to insert a thing with full colormaps.

>>3034557
Guy who suggested it: Cool man, I like it! I'd suggest altering the skyfog mapinfo value if you feel like updating it though.

>>3034951
At least hud graphics/weapons can be truecolor, but I'm not sure about monsters/decorations/textures however.

>>3034548
Sorry to disappoint you.

>>3034982
This was the last straw Anon
Me and your mother are very disappointed with you

>>3034982
I wish someone would do a 2016 proper GZDoom version of the Edge version of Immoral Conduct

WIP floatplane in the hangar. Is it possible to make 3D sector's celling/floor sloped? Last time i treid, zdoom/gzdoom didnt render a thing at all.

>>3034992
Someone on the ZDOOM forums was making an immoral conduct remake. Dunno what happened to it, though

>>3035002

>Is it possible to make 3D sector's celling/floor sloped?
Yes, but it only works in gzdoom and you have to align the control sector (better make it the same size too) with the target sector on the map. Like if you heldan infinetely long ruler against the slope of the control sector it should touch the slope of the target sector as well.

>>3033984
That submission from Lil White Mouse looks pretty cool, but I can't play it on the latest build. It's all just a big mess of graphics and ear rape

This set was more of a pain in the ass then I expected. Does it look ok? I've been staring at it too long to tell.

>>3035024
Is it broken on the official build?

>>3035029
i think it looks good

>>3035029
I think the eyes could be a adjusted a bit in the angled states, otherwise it looks great.

Like on her right eye when she's facing right there should be a bit more white/gray and less green showing, and the left eye looks weird when it faces left.

>>3035029
she looks really pissed, but i like it

i think the X crack is a pixel too much to the left when she's looking right, and maybe you should have the other one attached to another edge of the mask, but it still looks fine as it is

>>3035029
I always read the filenames as
>scumbag_animated

Every fucking time.

>>3035016
Thanks. T'll try to make most without it then.

>>3035040
My left or her left? I'm running on two hours of sleep.

>>3035042
I think I know what you mean, gonna fix it.

>>3035046
pffhehe

>>3035062
Her left. Now that I look at it more closely it looks fine when she's facing the (her) right, the gray pixel just looked green to me for some reason.

So, left facing, left eye. The iris looks a bit too dark.

I've been trying to play through "the Golden Souls" but whenever I get to the map "Sorbetto Beach" I keep getting read errors (pic related)
anyone have any fixes?

>>3035134
>>3035126
Let's push those demons off our world.

The newest GZDoom has huge input lag with vsync on. If I turn it off my laptop fan turns on due to the heat from rendering 500 FPS.

RIP in piss

>>3035149
What in the name of fuck is Graf doing?

>>3035149
What you want to do is lock your fps with vid_maxfps instead of using vsync

>>3035162
vsync has always been fucking abysmal in zdoom

>>3035162
Whatever he wants. It's his source port. Don't like it? Too bad, it wasn't meant for us in the first place.

We've been over this a lot in the past but why is it always the absolute dickwipes that run engines and source ports?

>>3035196
>why is it always the absolute dickwipes that run engines and source ports?
because they're not? most of them are nice people, if a little obsessive, but that goes with the trade.

>>3035204

Ken silverman was also a shit too.

>>3035221
As was carmack, but he matured out of it.

>>3035221
I meant Doom source port programmers

>>3035243
marrub is pretty cool

>>3035170
ZDoom has always been horribly unoptimized
Graf has always been a wanglord

>>3035265
Yes and yes, but vsync in particular is a feature notorious for causing problems in many engines.

On a related note, lately I've been thinking how cool it'd be if someone wrote a doom level converter and iwad sprite importer for something like unreal engine 4. Actor behaviour and the sprite rotation stuff would then be completely rewritten in unrealscript and supplied along with the converter/importer.

I think that would be a great alternative for gzdoom based tc's and such.

>>3035254
most source port programmers are, that's my point. i disagree with >>3035196's generalization

the names of these threads are always great

>>3035302
Oh, I have no general opinion myself. Graf is graf, carnevil (skulltag) seems to be a bit of a dick, torr is pretty cool or so I've heard. No idea about randi or any other ports and their devs.

>>3034659

Would you ever actually set foot in a teleporter?

Unless it was a slipgate/wormhole I would never use one because it wouldn't be me coming out the other side.

>>3035029
looks great

>>3035313
They are rather consistently chuckleworthy

>>3035364
I mean, technically you're a different person than you were before whenever enough time has passed for your cells to all die and replace themselves, right?

It wouldn't be that different. For all we know the same concept of being teleported like that occurs every time we go to sleep and wake up.

I probably wouldn't do it either though.

Is there any reason to use Doombuilder instead of the mapbuilder that's in Slade?

>>3035412
It's far and away better for mapping. Features. That sort of thing.

There's no reason to NOT use Slades editor really. But there's less reason to avoid DoomBuilder.

>>3034920
>doom2016_loading_icon.gif

>>3035393
>I mean, technically you're a different person than you were before whenever enough time has passed for your cells to all die and replace themselves, right?

Yes, this is the Ship of Theseus philosophical conundrum. A teleporter is functionally no different than any other mode of transport, because at a molecular level you aren't the exact same configuration of atoms and quarks and shit regardless of your method of travel.

>>3035424
>DOOM won't have interactive loading screens because it was mostly produced while the copyright was still in effect

>>3035412
Well gzdoom builder (not just for gzdoom despite the name) is being extremely actively developed and a ton of convenience features for linedef drawing, analysis, great find+replace etc, not to mention UDMF editing and zdoom feature support.

Repostan, pls respond

Just discovered the existence of and played Dukes Penthouse Paradise. Are there other maps like this? Explicitly intended to be lewd? I just want to drink beer and kill aliens while my dick is hard.

>>3035484
Yep. And they are actually trying to make it even worse with the TPP.

>>3035492

The first DUMP was surprisingly successful, and really fun to work with.
So I decided to do it again. I'm hoping to make this a monthly thing, so that we can grind out the whole "gotta get better at mapping" thing one map at a time.

If anyone's interested in trying their hand at mapping for something, here's another opportunity to.

>Attempt to run Adventures of Square through Doom levels as if it were Chex Quest
Alas..

>>3035560
So I've never made a map, and would consider myself relatively new to doom and completely new to doom modding, unless you count installing gameplay mods as experience.

How do you suppose trying this out would treat me?

>>3035425
>A teleporter is functionally no different than any other mode of transport, because at a molecular level you aren't the exact same configuration of atoms and quarks and shit regardless of your method of travel.
Wrong, because teleporters do not have continuity. The Ship of Theseus with teleporters would be disassembling the ship, writing down how it was put together, and then building a new ship in a different country from those plans using entirely new building materials.

The last DUMP had numerous people submitting their very first map ever made, so this would work perfectly.
We're not aiming for any serious bar of quality, we're aiming to just get it done and get mapping going. So even if you just end up going "mann I can't think of anything next, I'll just add a square room" and end up doing it over and over again, it'll be fine.

Go for it, mate.

would it be all right for me to post about or post my map here, and you'll pick it up from the threads?

>>3035607

Absolutely. Just when you post the release, please explicitly say it's for DUMP (so I don't confuse your map release with another anon's), and leave a name for me to credit you by (or don't, if you want to stay anon).

Man, TEXTURES is fucking neato

I might be entering the 64kb contest thing

>>3035619
The stuff I've seen with TEXTURES is really cool, but it just seems too complicated at a glance. I hope I gather up the courage to try it out in the future.

>>3035659
TEXTRUES is your friend

really great for effects, don't need to 4 versions of the same sprite all rotated 90 degrees more than the last

Fucking around with foliage. Hoping to make nature scenes more... natural.

>>3035619
>That's_a_cropped_BFG.webm
Neat. And also, what?

>>3035690
Grass looks kind of good.
The bushes look stiff and unmoving, you should try to make them rustle a bit in the wind, just ever so slightly.

Also reduce the amount of leaves it drops

>>3035690
good shit, anon

maybe try vines next?

>>3035690
Green grass, snowy pines, autumn leaves, dry reeds.. I'm hoping these aren't meant to be together.

>>3035694
I'll have to steal some states from unused monsters or something, but I can maybe make them bob back and forth a bit.

>>3035703
Generally no, though I do want some transition areas. Kinda like you see in mountainy areas in Norway, where a hillside is all snow, and valley is green grass with sheep or whatever. The thing that stands out the most atm is the treeline, but it's meant for pure snowy areas. The grass is only so green because I haven't fucked with the palette yet (though it will be green)

>>3035698
Also thanks. Do need some new MIDVINE textures.

>>3035690
did you fool around with the leaf spawner thing? it produces much more natural looking leaves, although yours do have charm, they seem to jump a bit downwards.

>>3035752
Can't. Dehacked. No leave spawner in Doom.

It would be nice though. Hexen didn't abuse that effect nearly enough imo.

>>3035690
>Neat. And also, what?

Not sure what you're "what"-ing about. But the pistol is made of a portion of the BFG and mirrored in TEXTURES. If you're asking about the spoiler, wild weasel is hosting a contest where you have to make mod or map or... Anything under 64kb.

My entry is gonna be a little bit of bomberman, and a little bit of robo warrior on the NES.

>>3035760
I'm really not familiar with dehacked. can you spawn projectiles like leaves in randomized directions and speeds? because that seems to be the key to hexen's leaf spawner. spawning a variety of different leaves all travelling in slightly different directions vertically and on a wide angle away from the "wind direction"

>>3035763
I just wasn't aware that you could pull chunks of sprites and shift them about to that extent.

>>3035767
>can you spawn projectiles like leaves in randomized directions and speeds
Absolutely not. Dehacked just changes states, properties and actions. So if I want a a flying arachnotron that poops out cyberdemons I could (for instance) take the lost soul, replace all its states with cyberdemon states, then replace the arachnotrons attack action with the pain elementals, and change it to floating/no gravity.

There are a ton of limitations to it, so everything is essentially just being tricky. Leaves included. It's fun though.

>>3035778

Hell yeah dude. TEXTURES is crazy powerful and super light on resources.

Wild weasel uses it to make all of the sprites in his style mod

New to doom mapping, wondering if there's any common pitfalls I should avoid? Or customs/manners I should get started doing asap? My current scheme is just the layout first, then textures, the heights+effects (doors, elevators), monsters/weapons.

>>3035591

>>3035437
On the topic of Duke, what do you think is better: Megaton Edition or EDuke?

Because I just tried EDuke and it had this disorienting y-shearing effect which Megaton doesn't, or is it a config thing?

how do you move floor/ceiling textures in doombuilder?

wall textures are a piece of cake, but i just can't figure out floors

>>3035982
the only way I've found to do it is use

Sector_SetFloorPanning

set up in ACS to run when the level opens.

The other option is to build around your floor or ceiling textures, so you level conforms to the texture, not the other way around.

>>3035985

Holy shit, really? So if I, for example, build a series of teleports using the hellsigns, I need to set the placements to match the texture mapping?

How is that still a thing?

>>3035989
Use GZDoombuilder. Click and drag on them.

>>3035914
Are you talking about how you can't look at stuff up or down cause it makes the screen fucked up? I'm pretty sure megaton does that too. but eduke is necessary for mods n'stuff

>>3036003
Megaton doesn't do it, and if it's not as bad as with Eduke.

>>3035993
pretty sure that only works in textmaps

>>3035843
>New to doom mapping, wondering if there's any common pitfalls I should avoid?
don't test your map in zdoom, unless you only want zdoom users to be able to run it.

Anyone know how to get this HUD for Weapons of Saturn? Doesn't come with the main file

>>3035843
>>3036020
Vanilla maps (doom:doom config) should be tested in the original executable or chocolate doom
Limit Removing maps (also doom:doom config) should be tested in PrBoom+ with "-complevel 2" in the commandline (3 if its for doom 1)
Boom maps (boom:doom config) should be tested in PrBoom+ with "-complevel 9" in the commandline

>>3035989
welcome to doom mapping hombre. the engine was designed 20+ years ago. Lack of easy floor and texture panning seems to be one of the worst features though. Most other things are easy to manipulate.

>>3034265
This fag again, played Quake on and off throughout the day, it's actually pretty fun once you get the hang of it. It's literally a git gud game, kept getting my ass handed to me by fiends and zombies until I figured out how to best kill them.

>grenade/rocket launcher everything
Except for shamblers since they take reduced damage from it. Use the super nailgun or thunderbolt.

>>3036074
Problem is, shooting in that game isn't as fun as, say, Doom. Weapons don't have the same punch and enemies just kinda topple over when killed.

But then again, I guess Quake isn't supposed to be an action packed game like Doom.

What algorithm does (G)Zdoom use for scaling sprites (nearest neighbor, bilinear, bicubic etc.)?

>for the past 10 years or so, the revenant's punching animation has been playing roughly 1 frame slower than normal, and was just recently fixed

http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=50893&p=885518

>>3036123
I feel many of the weapons in quake are much more satisfying; the super nailgun, rocket launcher and grenade launcher all pack plenty of punch. not to mention once you get quad damage. There's nothing like gibbing enemies with the double barreled shotgun on quad damage. Doom just cant compare.

And yes Quake was designed to be an action packed game like doom, but with enhanced atmosphere as well

Is there a way to break associations between sectors in doombuilder without scrapping one (ore many) of the linked sectors and then rebuilding them?

Seriously, there has to be an easier way

>>3036159
You mean like multiple sector tags which are now a thing?

>actually had to bind alternate hotkeys for weapon switching in Quake instead of just the number keys, first time I ever done it for an FPS

It's surprising how the game can get crazy fast and hectic despite having low monster counts. The higher health pool of enemies encourages the player to use the explosive weapons all the time but I keep having to fall back to shotguns or nailguns because the enemies get in my face really quickly.

>>3036176
just do what everyone does in tf2 and just rocket jump in their faces
i mean from their faces

>>3036184

Rocket splash damage in Quake is not as high as in Doom, but it's still quite high. You're not going to last half a level doing that unless you have permanent red armor or something.

New map by ribbiks, this time with a 'reality' gimmick (player only has 1hp). Follows in the same vein of timeofdeath's nh series and memfis' newreality but slightly easier with a greater focus on resource starvation:

https://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/86452-pepper-wad-a-reality-map-1-map/

>>3036123
I felt the same before I got into it, but overall I think it's just different. There's nothing more satisfying than the super shotgun up close or BFGing a room full of assholes.

Comparatively, landing the perfect grenade shot or spraying a room with the quad nailgun is satisfying as well but in a different way. Also dat soundtrack. After spending a game listening to Trent Reznor in his prime, the MIDItallica of Doom just ruins the fun.

Pairing MSX with Colorful hell was a MISTAKE.

Set the render mode to "classic" in the options, may switch from time to time. Also megaton is shit, I own both and movement and hit detection is 100% better with eduke.

>>3036005
Yea maybe the warping isn't there in megaton but the sky is broken, it has ice skating physics for dukes walk/run speeds, the auto aim is so bad your bullets go wherever they want. I would have to say you probably haven't play the original duke of your OK with the megaton edition.

>>3036140
You chan select in the preferences menu. "linear nearest" would be my pick (doesn't blur sprites but makes walls/ceilings look good at tight angles)

I didn't say I used it, it's just fucked up in megaton edition, besides turning off the autoaim in megaton HAS NO EFFECT AT ALL on rockets, they always autoaim, so enjoy that Mr. All-skill.

Stop getting assblasted about how people play games.

Does any know of any "Adventures of Square" feeling maps or megawads? I recently played through Square and was really impressed with the level design. Will I find something as good as those maps in regular DOOM megawads or maps?

>>3036503
I just hate that port, it's quite clearly the worst version if you play more than ten seconds of Eduke32.
I just don't understand how you can try and portray yourself as having superior intelligence when you BOUGHT an abandonware game.

>Quake has an amazing horror ambient soundtrack.
it's pretty mediocre as far as ambient horror goes. What are you comparing it to?

>>3036636
I personally wouldn't call it "amazing", but it is good and fitting. When it comes to horror ambient soundtracks, I prefer what Aubrey Hodges did with PS1 Doom and Doom 64

The only track from Quake that I find myself listening to outside of the game is the main song, and even then that's just for the first part. I prefer Quake 2 and 3's soundtracks overall, but then again those games had very different atmospheres (especially 3).

>mfw Megaton Edition is the only port with working multiplayer.

Different anon here. Anon, you should probably check the definition of "abandonware." 3D Realms always had the rights until last year, and they were always constantly reprinting Duke in some format or other. Megaton Edition may be a bad port, but these past few months are the closest Duke has gotten to "abandonware," period.

>>3036519
No worries, I think I got carried away too, so sorry for any offences on my part.

It has been two years, so I can't remember why I split my time between it and Eduke.

I just remember it working better for some reason? Which is weird, because right now the aiming in Eduke feels smoother and more accurate.

>>3036702
Yea, it is a shame, I TRIED to play Megaton online but the lag was to much, it worked well when me and my bud were in the same room.

I was using zDoom because that was just the first in the list of SO YOU WANT TO PLAY DOOM infographic. W-what's wrong with it?

>>3036806
Nothing, just does less than GZDOOM and Zandronum.

>>3036806
zdoom and its derivatives are very tolerant of sloppy mapping. if you make a map and only test it in zdoom or a derivative thereof, it is likely to be subtlely broken in anything else.

>>3036806
ZDoom allows you to use wall textures for floors/ceilings and vice versa among a ton of ofther things vanilla doom and several ports do not allow you to do, so if you want your map to work in as many ports as possible it makes sense to test it in as 'basic' a port as possible. prboom and crispy doom are pretty strong contenders for that, or chocolate doom if you want maximum compatibility (but it also limits you more of course)

>>3036806
What >>3036823 is saying is that you might unknowingly use zdoom exclusive features in your map which don't work properly with other source ports, but then say that it is vanilla compatible. So called "Zdoomisms".

Which I think is a misunderstood term, because venice.wad got a four star rating for "good use of zdoomisms" leaving me unsure what that user meant.

Also playing Duke's penthouse custom map mentioned earlier gives me really fucking retarded ideas.

>>3036837
I agree.

>>3036841
Well, if it ends up getting used, not in that map and not that blatantly, just a test out of boredom.

>>3036661
Its pretty excellent as far as game soundtracks go.

>>3036806
there's nothing wrong with zdoom. Some purists don't like it, but its fine to just test and run with zdoom. 90% of people use it or GZdoom anyway

the worst ones are those that don't show up immediately. e.g. there are maps in ndcp2 which work fine in boom-compatible ports right the way up until the very end, after 40 minutes careful play and hundreds of monsters dead, you find the exit door won't open, argh.

>>3036635

>trying to make an exact cutcopy reproduction of the Doom 64 chaingun
I give up. Spent an entire night doing this and I'm finally done.

Just what the fuck kind of alchemy of the dark times, what outer force did Midway bring into this world to get that fucking insane visual recoil effect on it, that snappy, jerky animation on the barrels, the high as fuck volume on the firing sound that overlaps each shot fired, all the while keeping it ENTIRELY VANILLA, how the fuck did they achieve that literally nothing I can ever do will ever compare to that masterpiece of a weapon.

I managed to make /exact/ reproductions of every single weapon in the game overnight save for the unmaker for obvious reasons, but I just can't coin the damn feel to the thing.

>>3037000
why do i seem to think that was made exactly for complex doom?

>>3037021
Looks like it just offsets the weapon sprite down a bit for a couple tics and plays the firing sound on different channels. DEHACKED probably wouldn't be able to do the sound channel thing, but DECORATE can do both easily.

>>3037021
Doesn't Smooth Doom already do this? You can set the weapon's skins to be from Doom 64.

Christ. Why so many barons? If you're gonna have a goddamn Cyberdemon don't surround him with sponges. Thats just not cool.

This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to assign multiple actions to an id tag in doombuilder?

>>3037082
If you're using zdoom you should use a script. They're easy to use and implement. Otherwise you can have a monster inside the hidden door that trips a trigger line which kills the lights like a rube goldberg machine once it walks out.

Holy shit why is BTSX Episode 2 so fucking cheap?

>>3037149
How are you even supposed to survive that?

I'll probably try this on a lower difficulty later on. Maybe it won't keep doing this then.

>>3037154
Well once I died, I found out that I can survive if I run for my fucking life to the side and drop down to another area. So it's doable but still really fucking cheap.

What are the settings I should use?

remind me, which map?

>>3036837
>those microsoft maze textures
is there a map like those mazes

>>3037039
alright so imma have to say firstly sorry for the question beforehand since it pretty much involves spoonfeeding a retard, but

how would I go about doing those things you mentioned?

>>3037187
Map 10, I think.

Although I just beat Map 12 and it's even worse because I there's no fucking room to hide in and there are 2 Baron corpses laying around.

Seriously, fuck this wad, BTSX 1 wasn't this shit

>>3037217
So you're saying it's unBaronble?

>>3037213
First, what port are you working with/for?

>>3037221
that doesn't make any sense

do you pronounce baron as bear-on?

not that i have a leg to stand on, i pronouce cacodemon as cake-oh-demon

>>3036987
isn't this old as fuck news? unless everyone and their mother is talking about "the confirmation" what ever that is but come on all could tell that is the pistol

>>3036934
Not him but a good enemy placement is good when a low tier enemy can surprise you in low numbers.
Not saying monster closets are the way to go but rather unique and constantly changing placement.

>>3037217
oh i thought you were talking about map20something, but you're still in the "easy" half (relatively speaking!)

>>3036635
where can I suc ur cuc?

>>3037225
umm you see, I'm not doing it from scratch so much as I am editing d64_wmi_alt.pk3 released by some anon long ago, all of the changes made thus far involved completely deleting the decorate files for weapons and sprites, then I wrote new decorate files for each gun and replaced the sprites for the originals extracted from the doom 64 wad file, added visual recoil/kickback for shotty, ssg and rocket launcher, edited all frames for all weapons to make their behavior closer to the original guns, involving ticrates and all that fancy shmancy stuff.

i'm using SLADE (finally got the damn thing to work again, fuck you slumpED) and doing all tests in GZ. No doubt it'd work in ZDoom so no problems there at all.

what I was actually meandering to ask is what kinda function should I use to bump the offsets for the chaingun and how do I modify the sound channel feedback on it?

I would gladly post a .webm but I'm a nerd who doesn't even know how.

>>3037228
Sorry senpai, I hadn't seen it before ;_;

>>3037253
it's not that
I just saw this not long ago posted by someone else and it's like no-one has ever seen this

>>3037093
how did this guy get all this?
I would love to try if you can with the leaked alpha

>>3037251
>decorate
Ah, that's what I wanted to know.
>http://zdoom.org/wiki/Offset
There's your answer. The zdoom wiki is very well documented, so you'll find most info like this on there.

>>3037093
WHAT IS THAT DEMON WITH THE LIGHTNING

>>3037251
oh and for the sound, play use several 0-duration frames of A_PlaySound with the same sound and different channels, that should work I think

>Try out Colorful Hell on SCYTHE with Trailblazer
>First two missions are fine
>Third mission: "Ah, fresh meat. Black demon has spawned"
>Okay?
>Rapes my asshole faster than I can say "What the fuck"

Did I just get shit RNG or is this supposed to happen? I had to use idkfa and even then I barely survived.

>>3037324
yeah i think the black and white variants are meant to be almost unbeatable

>>3037068
the space is very awkward for 1-on-1 fighting with a cyberdemon. at this point in the map, the player likely only has a green armour, if that. the splash is therefore very threatening. the barons are there to provoke into infighting with the cyber. after that the weakened cyber is easier to pick off.

>>3037287
>>3037296
I can't thank you enough dude. Thanks a lot for the help, although I didn't quite get the sound thingie you mentioned in the second post, but I'll sort stuff out myself anyways, thanks inmensely for the help.

>>3037295
seems to be the harvester?

>Been working on a map for almost a month

>>3037353
You're welcome man.

>although I didn't quite get the sound thingie you mentioned in the second post
Like this:

TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("SOUNDNAME", 0)
TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("SOUNDNAME", 1)
TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("SOUNDNAME", 2)
etc.
before the frame where the gun actually fires the bullet. I haven't done anything with sound channels so I'm not sure how to drench out sounds on purpose but you can experiment with the above.

>>3037158
Dankest webm of all time

The first one >>3037000 was darker. This is an improvement.

i had to check but he said dank not dark

also i think it would have been better if he/you hadn't stopped to type hilarious messages to the viewer for half of it.

The Spellcross Monster Pack is now also a Randomly Generated Arena featuring the new monsters for people to use. I'm aiming to release the arena and pack this week, perhaps friday/saturday. Not long now, have a screenshot.

Me too

>>3037405
I love the zoo!

>>3037353
the harvester huh. that's a new one. wonder how it looks. how did you figure out the name?

>>3035989
UDMF and other modern map formats do allow flats to be aligned, but you're probably doing a vanilla/Boom compat map

Just design your areas around what you want, or at worst, you can just make a custom flat that aligns to your floor

>>3037324
I'm playing BTSX Ep 2 with the same combo and as long as you don't get them in the first map it should be fine (save minigun ammo for black and white enemies)

>>3037419
And what if I do get them early on? Do I have to restart the whole thing?

>>3037424
Try to avoid them, I got a Black Zombie in one of the early maps of 200 mins of /vr/ and I just tried to exit the map as fast as I could.

>>3037417
you can realign floors in boom maps with floor scrollers. it is predictably fiddly but less inelegant than making an entire new flat for every different alignment offset you want to use.

>>3037470
Well you shouldn't have that many flat misalignments if you design your levels to the fucking grid

>>3037476
i don't know why you're yelling at me, tell that to >>3035989.

>>3036635
I love it anon and I'll show my friends

>>3037476
you're the fucking grid

So... Maybe not entirely Doom related question, more like spriting and Photoshop question, but I have nowhere left to go - everyone else gives me retarded advices that give nowhere near desired result.

im trying to make a lightning effect in a PNG with transparency. Problem is all lightning generation tutorials I find are for creating lighning effect against black backdrop - here's a blue tint effect that does not work if overlayed over non-black background. I know that black BG can be removed IN photoshop with Screen type blending, but that only works against an image, not a transparent layer.

Im also aware that GZDoom has an additive overlay mode that does the same thing, but I want to further work with this texture outside of Doom and Photoshop, and I need proper transparency with it's Lighting effect. Most advices Ive heard have to do with cropping out image as is with /some/ transparency info, but that transparency is being backdropped, again, against black, and it becomes apparent if it is viewed against lighter colors - like red on the right of the image, while I want it to drop into proper, non-blackened transparency.

>>3037232
>Not him but a good enemy placement is good when a low tier enemy can surprise you in low numbers.

Good monster placement is when the level design has been taken advantage of to create interesting and challenging scenarios with the monsters. Plutonia is a great example of this, IMO.

>>3037791

Thanks. I saw that on DW but had not gotten around to it. Looks like I'll be playing on ITYTD

>>3036370
Nice

>>3036914
Not gonna chastise him on his choice in weapons, the FNX is a pretty great pistol.

If they offered it with a Olive Drab frame, and matte black slide, it'd be perfect.

>>3037815
This, Plutonia actually challenges you in clever ways, rather than just swarming you with like 50 monsters at a time (it only really does that shit in the bonus levels).

Nothing makes me lose interest in a .wad more than full on slaughter, circlestrafing around several hordes is simply not a fun way to play.

Just be glad BTSX is for the most part, avoiding Sunderisms.

Anyone has any ideas? If an engine can do it, photoshop surely can do so to, right?... Right?

>>3037684
>>3037923

I'm going to need more specifics here... are you trying to rip that lightning from the PNG you're showing, or are you designing it?

If you're designing it, are you doing that on a black canvas and then trying to remove the black afterwards, because it's much easier to see when working on it?

>>3037373
yeah, figured out how to do so after a quick read.

I won't lie, I'm actually legitimately happy with how this came out, even if it's not much of the 'filled-to-the-brim with technicalities and spaghetti code' sorta thing that blows you away or anything. It's supposed to be a small, simple weapon edit more than anything for the experimentation's sake but I'm satisfied with it and I hope some people might be interested in it. I like to think I actually nailed the weapons down, I'll keep working on it if people feel like anything's going under. Thanks to the kind anon who posted this in the first place (see credits).

>>3037413
there were a few screenshots of the model rip from the alpha not long ago and judging by the shape of his head in the kill feedback, his lone eyeball, and the shape of his hands I think it's more than safe to ensure it's him. the prowler also makes an appearance in two or three of the videos in there too.

Been a while since I've been here. For you, /vr/.

>>3037956
I feel like they should all be revenants, besides that one archvile
