I chuckled. Every time man.

Why doesn't Epic open source the old Unreal engines? UE4 is already open source (kind of), what's the problem opening up UE1 and 2?

Imagine how much better UT (and UT2004) could be if the engines were forked. Look at everything that's been done with id Tech engines and their games.

Sorry if this gets your accoutn taken down based whoevers account this is

>>3039802
I like watching your project develop. Has it got a name yet?

>>3039806
please go away

>>3039802
the enemies somehow make me think of Hacx, maybe it's the model-converted-to-sprite look

>>3039082
>I don't even mind the occasional big horde of monsters, I just don't think Sunder or Alien Vendetta provides particularly amazing gameplay.

I personally would not lump Alien Vendetta with Sunder. Sunder is over-the-top slaughter gameplay all the way through. Alien Vendetta doesn't reach slaughter gameplay halfway in, and even then, the amount of over-the-top slaughter maps can be counted on one hand.

>>3039805
It's all a part of the magic. ;^)
>>3039810
No. It has a working name (for folders and shit), but that's it. Not sure what to call it. It's a fantasy medieval doom - pretty much - with vague norse themes...
>>3039816
Sorry.

Still have... 2 monsters and 4 weapons to do. I think? Something liek that. Then a bunch more textures and I should be good to start mapping. Prolly make textures as they're needed, really.

Then the HUD sprites and title screen/help screen and shit.

>>3039793
This took me a fair bit too long to get. Wondering if I'm actually retarded
>>3039789
Dunno, but it would definitely be cool. The games are neat but there are definitely some pretty annoying quirks.

>>3039798

>>3039826
>Sorry.
i wasn't complaining, i rather like the style, as long as it is consistent across all your enemies

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to resize a texture that is already in an iwad(say, Doom 2) without having to place it again in the wad? I want to resize a stock Doom 2 texture without placing it again inside the pwad, because that would bloat the size(trying something out for the 64k contest). Is it possible to do that with the TEXTURE lump, or should I just throw the towel here?

>>3039789
maybe they can't, because they don't own the copyright for essential parts of the code. recall how doom had to have the sound code stripped out of it for the same reason.

on that note has the source for the original half-life ever been released?

>>3039835
I was kinda joking :-p. Hacx monsters just look a little blobby to me or something.

Cool

>>3039808
I find myself replaying the strafejump video every time in another tab often.

it's that good holy shit, the game definitely shows quite the improvement with a speed boost of sorts.the only four things we need at this point would be A) increasing player speed by at least 20 or 30%, B) improving player movement so it doesn't feel stiff as shit, C) buffing up gun damage, and D) adding the goddamn music. That's it. That's literally all it takes.

>>3039847
That's cool, but

>>3039853
Oh, 20 something years later and I never noticed that. Kill me

>>3039863
must say i never saw it as blood, but as the energy of the weapon bursting out of the other side

>>3039853

>>3039851
Barons of Hell Knights have green blood

>>3039871
the blood splats are, sadly, always red

>>3039871
I always imagined it as acid, so it was OK.

>>3039872
Guess I've been playing too much sourceports cuz it's always green for me.

>>3039806

Go away, Nambona.

>>3039826

>Not sure what to call it. It's a fantasy medieval doom - pretty much - with vague norse themes...
Yah, I know about the theme. I know a fair bit about nordic mythology and folklore so say the word if you want any ideas.
I live in scandinavia a couple of kilometers from an iron age burial ground with raised blocks of stone still standing

>>3039838
assuming you're using SLADE 3:

copy the texture entry from the IWAD's TEXTURE1/TEXTURE2 lump

paste it into a TEXTURES lump

use xscale and yscale (2 makes it twice as small, not twice as large) to resize texture

profit

>>3039879
Who?

>>3039901
>I know a fair bit about nordic mythology and folklore so say the word if you want any ideas.
Well if anything comes to mind, by all means. I know very little. Just like the style.

>iron age burial ground with raised blocks of stone still standing
Neat. Any pics?

>>3039913
>Well if anything comes to mind, by all means.
The simplest would be to go with The Wild Hunt or a variation thereof.
Or perhaps your game could take place in the mythological age after ragnarok, and take it's name after the place of the final battle between the gods: The fields of Vigrith
>Neat. Any pics?
It all pretty much looks like this. A big sloping meadow between a forest and a wheatfield where cows graze among boulders, a few raised stones and a thousand year old vaguely square depressions caused by collapsed burial chambers. We've prepared a pretty comfy fireplace with split log benches on a cliff overlooking the area.

>>3039986
Stop this.

>>3039968
>The Wild Hunt
That's closer to what I had in mind. Maybe I'll read up on some norse mythology. It's been... 9 years since we plowed through it in college. Anything too specific takes it further from fantasy though, so mentions of specific mythological locations probably won't do. Maybe I'll steal some town names though.

>pic
Looks nice. I grew up in the sticks. Miss it.

>>3040018
what is this. fisticuffs?

>>3040040
It's the gauntlets from Combined Arms

So last night I set up Doom to control with one of these and my experience felt a lot like this.

https://youtu.be/6NCDsDYLls8?t=63

went with 3d floor wall-mounted tv. Any suggestions for "tv shows" that are easy to make? Like the dancing doomguy spriteset with flashing lights for a music video etc.

>>3039798

map's still a work in progress, senpai

but yeah that needs to be fixed

>>3040093
Make an X-rated channel and have the only show be Petting the Cacodemon

>>3040097
>Petting the Cacodemon
but that's a central plot and even part of the title

>>3040103
Fine, how about The Raging Boner?

>>3040093

"Meatballs, the movie, the television show"

>>3040093

Is there any WAD that adds the SSG and new enemies from DOOM 2 into DOOM 1 maps?

I dont like DOOM 2 map designs but the weapon and new enemies types are great additions

>>3040040
hexen barb's default weapon, neat that someone ported them to doom

>>3040134
There was one that randomly replaced doom 1 monsters with doom 2 equivalents. But it wasn't REALLY equivalent. Getting 2 pain elementals on your ass instead of cacos isn't really fair.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/koaqerjbm9ds9dy/Doom2Randomizer.wad

I don't think it adds a SSG though.

>>3040135
they're also in samsara as parias' punchdrunk unique

"who the fuck ever played punchdrunk on samsara"

>>3040134
There is this one enemy randomizer that replaces them with equivalents (it also randomizes weapons, pickups, power ups etc) but i am not sure if it brings the SGG or the new enemies to doom 1

>>3040148
>>3040134
I just checked. It adds the SSG, but doesn't let you switch back to the normal shotgun for whatever reason... So it's kinda broken. Someone ought to fix it.

>>3040149

i did

>>3040093
Breakfast Time with Chex Warrior. Cut to and from him standing behind a cooking show counter, and a closeup of a bowl of cereal.

>>3040149
Punchdrunk coop was the best.

For some reason doombuilder isn't allowing me to use the blu-door frame as ceilings or floors. Am I just being stupid?

>cat steps on keyboard
>opens 100 copies of chocolate doom
>computer can't recover - hard reboot
Thanks Storm, you fucking asshole.

>>3040206
You named your cat Storm?

>>3040220
No. My wife did when she was 12 or something.

>>3040190
>Am I just being stupid?
Maybe.

That is because DOORBLU is a texture. Ceilings and floors use flats, not textures.

However, the UDMF map format allows you to use textures as if they were flats.

>>3040225
How old is your cat and how young is your wife?

>>3040225
>My wife did when she was 12 or something.
The fuck

>>3040229
>>3040232
The cat is like... 14, 15? He's healthy though. 14 I guess. She's 26.

IMO, doom 1's maps were not designed around Doom 2's monsters, and thus, there wouldnt be much room for interesting encounters for the most part.

>>3039854
I'm not really looking foward to this Doom.
>power armor
>white illumination minimal hud
>zerg-like hell
>inFamous2's devourer
>not a single demon has lips
>no skin as a whole
>horns and fangs everywhere

Taking aside the actual gameplay from the gameplay trailer and the soundtrack, that might be subject to change.

So I'm new to modding doom and I'm bad at looking for this stuff - I read something about a mod that adds in colored/more powerful variations of standard monsters but I can't remember the name, any help?

>>3040343
colorful hell

>>3040343
That's Colourful Hell

So maybe someone has some idea, but my gun here >>3039802 has an issue. It uses the fireshotgun2 action for it's firing state, so it uses 2 rounds of ammo. When I fire at 1 ammo I get a "Bad V_DrawPatch" error (I assume because it goes into a negative value and doom doesn't the wherewithal to figure that out for the hud).

Anyway. Am I going to have to change the functionality of my gun, or is any way to fix this? Change ammo usage or something.

>>3040359
Dehacked I should mention. No decorate or ACS or what-have-you. I'm being a luddite

>>3040359
Can't you write an "if/then" statement in decorate to address that?

Oh, you're not using decorate. In that case I have no clue.

This seems like a dumb question, but do I need Netquake/Quakeworld to play regular, singleplayer Quake? I'm looking at the graphic, and by my understanding, I should be downloading the first Vanilla Quake. But is there anything else other than the game itself?

>>3040260
how glad I am that not many people out there still share your opinion as of now.

>>3038262

So, when are you posting this in your blog?

No trolling, legitimately curious.

There are other single player source ports. Tenebrae, or Darkplaces or whatever

And his stomach too.

>>3040374
Looks like a miniature caco getting comfortable on doomguy's back and killing him with cuteness.

>>3040403
Hm. Set it up just like it is for the super shotgun, but it still crashes at 1 ammo instead of switching. Maybe it's just broken in doom 1? Maybe I'm an idiot and fucking something up... Maybe I had to steal the super shotguns states directly...

Oh well. Thanks for the help anyway. I'll keep it in mind for the future and work around it now instead.

>>3040478
weirdly enough has no issues going into negative values for bullet ammo.

http://terminusest13.tumblr.com/post/140378844086/welcome-to-the-doom-community-ill-be-your-guide

huh

>>3040504
maybe it has to do with the weapon it's inheriting from?

Who knows, parts of Doom code are a fucking conundrum

>>3040513
Yeah man, I have no idea. Every other day I hit something like this that forces me to redesign a weapon or monster or something. This particular hiccup is causing me to change 3 weapons though. Which blows pretty hard, because the weapons I already had done are supposed to be (at least somewhat) balanced with the rest.

That's alright though... everything is fine.

>>3040504
Does that bow let you hold the button and draw back the arrow?

Because I always like stuff like that.

>>3040517
>That's alright though... everything is fine.

>>3040518
You click, he draws and fires, then notches another arrow...

I might be able to make it so you can hold back the string though... maybe... no... no he'd just keep tugging on it awkwardly. Nevermind.

>>3040526
Aw, but... But...

Can't you make it lock into place as long as it's held? That way you can cut down on the fire-time with the bow, meaning that strafing out and into cover is a viable strategy!

>>3040526
have a look at how grenade-like weapons work, it should be pretty much the same (the more you pull back, the more strength is put into the arrow that you release when you take your finger off the mouse)

>>3040528
Well for weapon balancing the delay is purposeful. It replaces the pistol and fires essentially a plasma round. So the delay and reload time are to keep it from being too OP out the gate. Maybe I'll make some sort of auto crossbow for a better version, but like I said, my balance is all fucked up now. I wanted the pistol replacement to be viable for ammo conservation, while the chaingun replacement would fire 5 rounds at a time, but in closer succession... But I can't do that now.

Bleh. Maybe I'll do your thing and have the string drawn, because fuckit

What was it like seeing this for the first time?

>>3040594
To be honest, it felt weird, starting a game like that and not seeing the doom 2 first level first. I always wandered around the very start wondering where the chainsaw was, since I played doom 2 first.

Does anyone know where the main music used in the Miasma wad (posted in the previous thread) is from? I'm certain I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't remember where. It's bugging me.

>>3040676
check the credits in the wad file or check any forum posts of the wad. The authors usually include the music information, just look for it.

>>3040689
I found nothing. Someone mentioned in the forum thread that the music's good, but that's all there is. There's no credits, no info, nothing.

Does anyone have the vocaroo for that Better Call Saul parody with the agitating skeleton and uncanny fellow?

i made it and i lost the file long ago

>>3040594
Felt amazing

doom is cool but it's too much of a shoot em up. retro FPS became really god tier when they integrated jumping and platformer elements.

>>3040779

gee I wonder who's behind this post

>>3040779
What the fuck? No, retro first person shooters became god tier when they added more features such as advanced AI, bigger level design (think about it for a second, Doom 1 and doom 2 are really really small) and sometimes, an even bigger arsenal of weapons + various ways to use each weapon of said arsenal.
Besides, platforming sections are probably the worst possible thing you'd find in a FPS and rocketjumping is NOT platforming unless its designed around it (DeFragged)

>>3040779
I would love a game that has a mixture of Doom and Quake's gameplay.

>>3040206
my cockatiel Max really likes to do that shit too, especially when I've slade open and am trying to write some ACS.

>>3040478
>>3040517
Could you have two zero-duration normal shotgun firing frames after each other rather than a single ssg frame?

Working on the blast mod powerup for the barrel gun, when you pick up a shotgun you get the ability to charge up the gun and fire a blast of some kind depending on your currently selected bomb. Though you'll still need to pick up shells and shit to use this trick

Default bombs will give you something on par with a shotgun blast, just stronger

>>3040794
you should play exhumed. great platforming and level design

>>3040831

Fuck it, I'm putting the sights down until the blast is ready. a little visual feedback is nice.

Plus it looks cool

That Cacodemon looks like he went to a special school and was never even invited to the demonic invasion.

>>3040779
retro FPS became really god tier when it added RPG elements. System shock 2 or Realms of the Haunting for example.

>>3041052
is there a debug option that will show us the command line your launcher is attempting to run? perhaps the fact that there is a space in one of the pk3s' filenames is confusing the program.

It's Community Chest 2 map 24, "The Mucus Flow". Like Miasma, it's huge and very "green" level. Don't know if it's been used anywhere else though. But that's one place where you can hear it.

Strange how you can suddenly remember such a small detail from a map you've played so many years ago. I also now recall ragequitting Community Chest 1 at some point.

Kind of hilarious to see how in the past few years the most recent threads about Hissy in Doomworld get locked almost right away.

? I don't remember the date.

>>3041378
Is that some more OC? Lots of that being made in recent threads, I'm really loving it.

What is /vr/'s opinion of this megaWAD?
Also, I've completed Hell Revealed, Scythe, AV and Requiem. What are some other good megaWADs?

>>3041393
Hard but fun.

I recommend Back to Saturn X episode 1.
Episode 2 has too much bullshit for my taste.

Hellbound is also worth checking out for it's impressive architecture.

>>3041393
I couldn't get past the first level.

As in: the brown made my sick.

>>3041393

What gun mod is that?

>>3041408
Accessories to Murder

I made my first hell map. I tried using most of the textures in the hell set.
Difficulties I have yet to implement because that'll take a while with this size. It's the first time I made a map you can call large.

Let's hope it's not too bad.

DL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4mwJRa7e5VpRElIeVdzRDNkckU/view?usp=sharing

Has anyone completed this?

I usually get about an hour in until I get lost on a puzzle and just give up.

Is there a map wad for Hexen out there that doesn't involve bullshit puzzles?

>>3041418
I forgot to specify a few things.
The map is for doom2 and plays in slot map01.
Tested with prboom plus at complevel 9

>>3041419
I think I did but I can't remember to be honest.

>>3041393
One of my absolute favourite wads of all time. Misri Halek is probably my favourite map in any megawad. That said I usually stop playing around map 26 because it's basically non-stop slaughter from thereon in.

>>3041393
Try Speed of Doom, Valiant and Sunlust.
SOD is probably my all-time favourite megawad and takes a lot of inspiration from AV.

Why doesn't combined arms work with enemy replacement mods? ive tried colorful hell and dark doom creatures

>>3041419
Shadow of Cronos is very simple while also being pretty damn good, it uses same objective items and overall length is just a few hours.

>>3041393
Doom 2 Reloaded is really fun

Going Down is also really fun but there's maps that have a million monsters later on so if that's not your thing you might not like it

Color edit to make new altcover look closer to the original (not by me)

>>3041479
Not bad

>>3041479
whats with the pyramids inside the doom logo anyway?

>>3041496

what?

>>3041496
it's nothing at all, anon. Move along.

hey again dudes, d64_wmi_alt.pk3 dude over here again

just to ask a ridiculously small yet highly relevant question to the mod (please don't bash me for it) I got the plasma buzzing sound effect on the plasma rifle to sound just as loud as I wanted it, what I can't figure out is how would I go about lowering DSPLASMA to make it barely audible in comparison like in Doom 64. The $volume value in SNDINFO won't do anything other than lowering or raising DSPSIDL (the plasma buzzing sound mentioned earlier) but won't do anything at all for DSPLASMA. Is there a way to do so?

>>3040374
That's honestly a beautiful screenshot.

>>3041525
lower the sound in the actor def directly

>>3041496
Never saw them as pyramids. Just angled techbase garble.

>>3041549

Not him but this is the correct aspect ratio, it just hasn't been stretched to 4:3 by the screen.

>>3041530
Looks neat.

I did a mug for the Cammy skin I made a while back, but I never bothered to put it in the wad because I was too stupid/lazy to figure out how to get them to work.

>>3041549
>>3041565

I knew I'd missed something.

>>3041569
Oh hey, that's pretty cool!

>>3041580

Are you gonna have the goggles fill up with blood, or with water?

>>3041418

is this a trojan?

>>3041602
Probably water, though I'm not sure how I'll convey such a thing with such limited colors and resolution.

>>3041605
No, it's an Athenian.

Is there a way to make projectiles/objects on a wall notice when you open a door on them? I looked to Nocturne in Yellow for an answer, but even it has this problem.

>>3041605
Would another file sharing host be better?
I've just been using google drive.

>>3041607
could cheat and go truecolor (works in software AFAIK)

Can I ask why the fuck id still wants to use the generic "Guy with Gun" art as the main cover?

Why don't they just use option A as the main one, since it's pretty basic, and then have option B as the reversal, so that the art remains un-obscured?
They've seen all the positive feedback both covers have gotten, compared to the massive amounts of negative feedback the main cover has.

I'm cheating for a few wall textures, but I'd hate to do it to one of my sprites. I really love using limited pallets even if they're...well...limiting.

>>3041607
>limited colors

Restricting yourself to the doom palette?

Either way, yeah, that's pretty tricky without animation, which I don't think you can have on a per-state basis for the mugshot, unless I'm wrong.

>>3041620
I still can't enjoy any of Final Doom to this day.
Both Plutonia and TNT feel like cheap DOOM II knockoffs.

Alien Vendetta would've made a way better expansion than either.

>>3041619
Option A ain't that attention grabbing I guess (even when compared to the actual cover)

Option B, even when obscured, woulda been great
>>3041620
At least you can dodge Revenant's missiles
TNT has bullshit hitscanners all around

>>3041624
Where can I find the mod with this character?
Also is the Scuba Mug going to be in a mod?
Sorry for the questions, kinda new.

>>3041620
Opposite for me. TNT has horrendous level design and hitscanners absolutely fucking everywhere.

>>3041620
this never happened to me as i'd already done hell revealed, alien vendetta, and hell revealed 2 by the time i got hold of the final doom iwads.

>>3041635
i believe it is as yet unreleased.

i do remember playing a demo that was basically two rooms and a script that made a guy fall off a ledge and make the wilhelm scream.

>>3041285
Is there a Bomberman multiplayer wad? I could easily see that being the next big thing.

>>3041612

Nope.
Trust me, I tried to figure it out, but I'm pretty sure you can't--which is why you only have the normal arrows for all of one stage.

Lydia_stealthy is the standalone I'm actively working on while Lydia + Dumbhud is something I just use for running around random doom levels since it retains a lot of vanilla values. Stealthy is hard as fuck if you aren't careful. Scuba mugs will be in the mod at some point, same with sunglasses mug and formalwear mug. All same character.

>>3041690
Eh, too much work and I'd have to completely rethink and redo most of my sprites. I had some neat pallet changes that made the contrast more blue, but I'm thinking of nixing those, since they kinda kill my favorite color parts of certain sprites, especially Lydia's eyes.

Just played through Map22 of TNT, and I'm not sure how to feel. Anyone have any opinions?

>>3041692
yes
>>3041693
it's pretty limited at this stage though

Doing a little work on this version too.

>>3041703
stop making excuses nigga

I think what you want to do is remove the "seesound" from the projectile's decorate and replace it with A_playsound in it's spawn state, where you can specify a volume argument. Remember to put a TNT1 frame before it though

>>3041731
best map ever, because you can skip all the boring parts!

/doom/ i need your opinion, i still haven't beat the original doom 2 and final doom completely (beat a bunch of levels separately but never the whole thing), i am already familiar with most levels and simply replaying them with vanilla isn't very fun, but i don't want to ruin everything by filling it with gameplay wads that might or not unbalace the shit out of it, so what do you think? Should i go vanilla or use gameplay mods?

>>3041759
You can use SmoothDoom. Makes the base experience more enjoyable.

Or you could try it with Beautiful Doom

>>3041759
Try out Smooth Doom and Perkristian's sound mod mate, they make the game look and feel much cooler without affecting balance

>>3041759
pistol start the maps you haven't done already

>>3041759
Use the console and warp around until you find ones you haven't played. Also, both ZDL and DoomExplorer let you start on a specific map.

>>3041763
>>3041764
Listen to them, they make Doom feel brand new.

>>3041676

I now understand why you're trying to stick to a limited palette.

Mirror's cool. I'd consider giving her a square one to at least try and match the shape you're forced to use for render to texture, though.

Also, for what it's worth, imo Lydia is already cooler than Harmony.

>>3041765
This.

Pistol starting brings more fun to the game than any graphical mods ever will.

>Map with a significant amount of traveling on damage floors and limited radsuits.
>Pop some extra radsuits via console.

Am I a bad person?

>>3041782
Yes. Might as well summon romerohead and kill him to end the level.

>>3041782
congratulations you literally started the next world war you bastard

maybe next time you won't give yourself extra radsuits, but there won't be a next time because we'll all be DEAD

>>3041309

Did you load all the files in the correct order ? Unless you are playing Hexen, there's a specific order you have to follow.

>>3041771
Naw, round mirror stays. I don't want to redo those sprites, they were a shit ton of work. It would be kinda neat to find some way to mask around the viewportal to make it round, but it really isn't too important to me.

Harmony has the advantage of actually being finished. I've worked on this shit way too long to have so little done.

>>3041782
>Map with a significant amount of traveling on damage floors
I hate that design element. Damaging floors should be there as soft limit on player movement (as in you can dodge into it but risk taking damage etc.

>>3041782
i've done this because it's a pain in the ass when you haven't learned the map and memorised a viable route. they never put enough radsuits in for a player who hasn't already memorised the map.

>>3041792
Found out the keys just weren't bound to anything. But I got bored with that so now I'm just playing Hexercise with Shadow of Chronos.

>>3041793
>I don't want to redo those sprites, they were a shit ton of work
You didn't use A_GunFlash to layer the lipstick animation/camera texture on top of the mirror I take it?

>>3041782
I do this in Hideous Destructor only.

Doomguy in that mod is such a fucking ninny holy shit.

>>3041418
>>3041431
wow. well at this point i would usually post a recording but at 600+ monsters it's a bit much for a continuous run on the first attempt!

i spotted some kind of nodebuilder error here (see the triangle of ashwall sticking up out of the floor, it's more obvious in motion), in sector 95 facing southeast, haven't got much further yet

>>3041825

I remember e3m7 used to piss me off when I was a kid.

>>3041782
>>3041794
>>3041795
To be fair, e3m7 has this one part with a retardedly big amount of rad suits for such a small space, its pretty silly and takes away the "you need to hurry up" feeling, which kinda of ruins the map

>>3041834
>E4M10
>10
wat

>>3041835
i was actually thinking about hell revealed 24

>>3041843
Fuck, meant E4M2

>>3041843
it's super secret and unlocks the doomgirl bonus character. trust me, my dad works for id.

>>3041809
hell no, they're all unique sprites.

>>3041840
Yeah, and then it has those pools around the red key doors that, unless you already know the map, you, be wandering back and forth across a dozen times before you figure out which order you need to go through them in.

>>3041853
Fuck i hated that, why hide the color doors between the pools? Why not just flip that one red door with the teleporter so you can tell it requires a key before jumping on the pool? I just ended up losing health for no reason

>>3041853
have to admit i had fond memories of solving that map. now i know where all the teleporters go it feels like it has lost something.

>>3041848
my dad IS id.

>>3041847
Oh lol. Perfect Hatred.

Yeah, that level is notoriously hated, both as one of the hardest and most constricting levels in the whole game. Supposedly John Romero still gets angry emails from people about it.

It's hard enough with a mouse. If you want to experience true pain, try is with a ps1 controller.

>>3041848
>>3041861
carmack junior is a /vr/doom regular!?

>>3041852
Weird, she's using right hand to holt the mirror, meaning she's applying lipstick with her left. Is she lefthanded?

>>3041860
Yeah, I know what you mean. As much as it drove me mad way back then, I felt so fucking good when I finally did it. It felt like such a beast of a level.

Now I play it and it feels like a walk in the park, because I'm not losing all my health making fruitless journeys to wrong doors. The monsters aren't any kid of threat, really. Open spaces, mostly pinkies and cacos. A baron or two. Easy.

The level itself is the main enemy, not them. But once you've memorized it, it's dead forever. Ironically, the better your memory of its layout is, the more forgettable an experience it becomes.

>>3041872
Sure why not. I'm a lefty myself. I mean for handwriting, not applying lipstick.

>>3041852
That's great. Footage in the mirror ripped from a commercial?

>>3041847
Romero Fact #364: Perfect Hatred was made in a span of 6 hours over a night, putting it on the level of Kafka's Transformation.

>>3041864
>>3041847
most aptly named level of all time

>>3041893
Yea, it was some behind the scenes of some superbowl commercial. I don't even remember what the source was anymore.

>>3041894
Anyone who visited the Doom Wiki for about the first six years of its life knows that, the trivia thing at the bottom got stuck on it!

>>3041872
Not only that, but she's she's moving the lipstick to the right, so either she's reaching across herself and twisting her wrist back toward her mouth (easily doable, but why would you?) or she has two right hands.

I'm gonna go with two right hands.

If it was me making it? I wouldn't change a thing.

bah posted the wrong one. I haven't done anything with this enemy in years. Still trying to think up a fun way to fight him.

>>3041902
i dimly recall you posted the source here at the time, which means it's in the archives somewhere (but, to heck with going to go looking for it)

>>3041909
I could probably fix that by just doing a horizontal mirror on the reflection. I'd rather go with the twist though, I kinda chuckled a bit thinking about her doing that.

>>3041905
Romero Fact #261: Due to Perfect Hatred, people were already made Romero's bitches way before the masterpiece that was Daikatana.

>>3041924
Romero Fact #8220: You were always John Romero's bitch. Always and forever.

>>3041924
speaking of which...I'm totally gonna fuckin do it.

>>3041935

>>3041912
He if he attacks you from behind, he freezes movement and applies constant damage either you or he is dead. Otherwise, he just punches you.

He has no see sound, allowing him to ambush the player easily. If he's far away enough, though, he charges at the player, and his clicking hooves and heavy, wheezy breathing give the player a chance to turn around before he's upon them.

Generally not much threat alone unless he gets the drop on the player, but very dangerous if the player is distracting fighting something else.

For the grab code, look on realm667 for the medusa. It has to be infront of the player to freeze them in place, but it should be easy to switch that around.

>>3041935
wish i had your disposable income

>>3041937
I thought about maybe having them not have a pain sprite so that they don't even stagger while being shot. That's what makes pinkies so easy to kill. I'd also like to do something like pic related when the player is being strangled, 'cept with hands on the lower part of the screen. Yea, you couldn't see someone's hands as you're being choked, but it would still be kinda neat. Thanks for that code, that will be very friggen useful.

>>3041942
Yea, I'm a big spender.

Anyway, I'm not the guy, but ask anyway. I or someone else might be able to help, depending on the question.

>>3041619
I agree, though the classic style cover is obviously the best, the stylized black Baphomet cover is in itself so much better than the official cover.

Spellcross Arena V1.0 + 32 Monster Pack

I've worked on this for months and months. The project was bringing enemies from a turn-based game "Spellcross" into new monsters to fight in DOOM with an arena to test it. I also recommend the game its based on if you love turn-based games.

I really wanted to share this with you lot as its my first official wad and want to give more custom monsters out there to the community to use.

Let me know what you think
Requires OPENGL and recent source port

>>3041963
Terminus was teaching me how to write a script that swap out her mug on a linedef trigger. I'm gonna use that to have her put them on when she goes outside in a daytime level. Just a fun little detail I wanted.

>>3041935
You know I wouldn't mind spending that much on Daikatana. The game is pretty interesting to look at as am oddity in gaming history and while it's not good there are some enjoyable aspects in it.

>>3041639
I don't understand why people are so bothered by hitscanners, just run from cover to cover.

>>3041983
wow, congratulations!

>>3041992
>I almost forgot my briefcase.
>It contains important lab results!

Seriously though, someone should make a retooled variant of Dai-Katana to fix some of the glaring issues, you could probably turn it into a pretty decent game with some polish and bugfixing.

>>3042002
What I'd love to see is something similar to the demake of Duke Nukem Forever back into the source engine. We could call it Doomkatana or something cool.

>>3041992

Hey guys... so I went on a drunken downloading spree last night and ended up with a bunch of wads I don't remember at all. One of them was a doom wad with really fun and fast paced gameplay. It was called dakka-0.06alpha6-2.pk3 and the only place I can find it is wad archive. Does anyone know anything about this? Or where I might find a source? Sorry for being so clueless.

guys I need your help trying to remember the name of a really really old (and possibly obscure) FPS I played when I was a kid.

I don't remember much about it sadly other than the fact that it starred on this scifi laboratories type of environments (vaguest fucking description ever) alongside some offices and even bathrooms and holding cells full of ceiling sentrybots, mutants and robots and forcefields and all that shit. that's sadly all I could make of it. I do recall monitors and interactive computers scrapped around you could use to lower forcefields and open doors and shit. Yeah, I know, not the most detailed and less derivative description ever, yeah, but hear me out on this one thing because it's the only feature from this game that I can bring myself to remember as crystal fucking clear. What is it about it, you may ask?

It's pic related.

You see, as far as I remember, the game featured only ONE weapon throughout (didn't even finish it though), and it was this sort of black, overdetailed, voxel-y sci-fi machinegun with green and red (?) lights and a grip to the left my guy would hold always (not unlike, say, Doom 4's chaingun). There were 'weapon mods' for this gun oftentimes scattered around some of the levels of the game which altered this machinegun and sort of acted like doom's arsenal contained within one weapon. The clearest memory I have of this is that one of these mods had the player tilt the gun completely upwards and shoot a grenade or plasma bomb from the area around the grip, another one had the gun shoot a pellet-type shotgun round, and another one converted the weapon into a rocket launcher. None of these mods ever changed its look or appearance at all, just its fire abilities.

Please keep in mind that at least 20 or so years have passed since I last played it and my memory is fuzzy as FUCK, and this is all I can bring myself to remember. Hope you can help me out on this.

Sadly not quite the result I hoped for. I'll try some resolution rescaling tomorrow to see if I can squeeze the full captures (all about a minute) in a webm or not.

>>3042123

Rebel Moon Rising?

>>3042128
I recall the game being entirely in 3D.

the closest I can compare it to would be Goldeneye, at least graphics wise

>>3042123

Lifeforce Tenka ?

How do you go about playing with the source code of doom?

>>3042124
That's fucking rad as shit.

I can't imagine what it looks like to turn around and see whatever fucking demon that is, lunging at you from across the map at a million fucking miles an hour, before getting your head smashed into the wall behind you.

>>3041747
I'm still amazed by the fact that its designed by the guy who made Icarus map01.

>>3042140
oh god there it is. that's it, that's the game.

I can't fucking believe this it's so uncanny holy shit. It looks so fucking shitty but I feel the same old nostalgia wash over me so hard at the same time. I recall playing this on pc at the time and I don't even know how far I made it but the moment I saw the machinegun thing I just knew. It looks way tinier than I remember. I don't recall there being any music though, also everything looks brighter and less boxy than I remember. huh.

thanks a lot, I'll probably be replaying it later this week, probably today. so glad you could help me out dude. this is awesome.

>>3042123
Sounds like Lifeforce Tenka to me.

>Hey anon, whatcha playing?
>Is that Minecraft?

>>3042074
Kinda makes me sad there's no windup. Maybe one of the mods has it.
>>3042120
No, they're in the actual game too.
>>3042105
I don't see it, past the grey and webm blurryness.
>>3042124
Man the Prowler is so cool.
Make one of where he rams one fucker mid air, that was cool.
>>3042151
His name is Prowler.

He can cling to walls too. Seems like it's pretty tense playing against one

>Bitterman

What's he doing on Mars!?

>>3042161
in what situation are you playing doom in public?

>>3042167
Not him but might as well share.

There's a class at my High School intended for adults which I go to I'm 19 and I go to the computer lab pretty much every lunch break. I play Doom there off of a USB flash drive and the other students either just didn't care or one guy would watch me while I played Hell Revealed.

bump.
I love to have some more testers.

These two rooms took me an hour to make, and I still have no clue how to make buttons. Babby's first map will soon be completed! In four months.

>>3042162
You convinced this Yuroshit to make one more then before sleep.

>>3042164
Nice one, didn't spot that reference.

>>3041961
>God damn that would be great for system shock mod.
Precisely what I'm trying to achieve with it. Can be used for a lot of other things too I'd imagine.

Well what I have is an angle (x) and a pitch (y) vector that corresponds to the crosshair. The gun is a separate actor that warps along with the player, and currently I just change it's angle and pitch according to the aforementioned vector(s) whichj produces the webm you just saw.

Now, the hard part is accounting for player pitch. When you and thus the gun point straight up, changing the Angle of the gun (spinning the actor around) makes it roll around the veiwport rather than tilt side to side, like it does when the view is level. So thus the actor's Roll needs to be changed. But rolling something that points up in doom does the exact same thing as changing the angle. To overcome that, I tilt the actual model 90 degrees forward in modeldef and compensate by adding to the Pitch vector so it appears to point forward when it's in fact pointing up.
That means when it appears to point up, it in fact points backwards and is thus level with the floor and can be Rolled, which means pointing to the right or left of the screen.


What I need to do is something like this: When the player looks straight forward the gun's Roll is 0 and Angle is just the the unmodified crosshair Angle vector. But when looking straight up, the guns angle should be the same as the player's (so it stays at the bottom of the screen) and instead it's Roll is how far to the left or right on the screen it points. And everything in between needs to work smoothly. It's all quite confusing..

>I still have no clue how to make buttons

look at youtube tutorials for switches.


just give a linedef an action and link it to a sector with a tag.

>>3042179

Give the line that you textured with the switch an ID number, then designate the action you want it to preform and assign the same ID to the thing you want it to effect.

I love the climb up the mountainside in Misri Halek.

>>3041469
I'm playing Going Down right now. I love the concept, and the wad gets proper hard fairly fast.

>>3042167

College?

>>3041685
>tfw no Doom light gun game

>>3042187
It's not elegant, but...

You might be able to cheese a solution by adding a percentage of the player pitch to the crosshair y value when calculating your weapon pitch. With a bit of trial and error you should be able to find a number that's close enough to perfect at most angles.

Of course, I could be misunderstanding the problem. I'd have to see code/play the wad to be certain.

>>3042185
Yay, thank you!
>>3042164
Saw that too. Best player model, had the quietest jump sounds

>>3042209
>When you get a Berserk Pack powerup, the game pauses and you pick up a pair of gloves, and you get to rip apart demons in whatever way you can think of.

So you can run Colorful Hell and HDoom at the same time. Sort of.

>>3042217
>had the quietest jump sounds

Which is strange, because in quake 2 he's a loud motherfucker.
