To submit news, please reply to this post.

First for Heretic is pretty cool.

Second for memory management is pretty NOT cool.

fifth or so for Hexen needs to be remade in HL engine asap

>>3123775
is your anus even ready for hexen with 3D level design and 'intelligent' enemies?

Imagine the underwater mazes and endless valves and multiple directions. also NPC peasants who say "greetings!"

>>3123778
Hearing Doom music through actual instruments is cool.

>>3123784
Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?

>>3123778
>>3123783
Doom II had goofy af soundtrack

Well node linking works. Man, GDCC made this a lot easier than it ever would've been with ACS. Don't even need to sort this shit, since each node stores the linked nodes as pointers.

woop

>>3123786
Does HL1 even count as a retro FPS? I mean, I'd say it would be due to year of release, engine, and playstyle, but some people might not agree.

wtf in jenesis map26

>>3123795
Came out four years after Doom 2, so sorta? 1998 is the same year the Dreamcast came out.

>>3123795
Of course it does. It was made from a highly modified Quake 2 engine after all.

>>3123812
I thought it was Quake 1?

>>3123812
tf2 is made from a highly modified quake engine

>>3123816
Well makes sense cause it was a mod of Quake 1 at first.

>>3123818
tf2 ain't retro tho, so the "based off a quake engine" criterion is wrong

>>3123807
ebin

How to win the Spider demon??

>>3123815
It is, GoldSRC is so similar to the Quake engine most mapping tools will work interchangeably between the two with little if any modification (other than GoldSRC's extra stuff like rotating walls, breakable props, colored lighting, etc).

>>3123816
TF2 is on a descendant of a modified version of the Quake engine and is also much newer. GoldSRC is almost a reskin of the Quake engine it's so close.

>>3123812
Pretty sure it was modified Q1 engine.

>>3123832
Nah, Quake 2.

>>3123812
>>3123836
>>3123816
You're an idiot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldSrc

>>3123836
>GoldSrc (also known as Goldsource) was a game engine used internally by Valve Corporation. It was a heavily modified Quake engine that debuted with the release of their science fiction first-person shooter video game Half-Life.

>The engine also reuses code from other games in the Quake series, including Quake World, and Quake II, but this reuse is minimal in comparison to that of the original Quake.[2]

>In 1997, Valve hired Ben Morris and acquired Worldcraft, a tool for creating custom Quake maps.[3] The tool was later renamed to Valve Hammer Editor and became the official mapping tool for GoldSrc.

goldsrc is the best fps engine ever made

fight me

>>3123840
>>3123841
Would you look at that, it appears that I am wrong.

>>3123846
It's a nice engine.

>>3123848
But can we talk about how nice it is

It's just Quake

but with more possibilities

and you don't need to use them, you can remake Quake if you want and it'll be just fine, or you can make your tacticool squad based shooter and it'll be just fine, or you can make a different game entirely

and it'll be just fine


GoldSrc is the Bob Ross of engines

>>3123840
Thinking simply being mistaken means they are idiots makes you the idiot.

>E1M9 in DooD

>>3123846
Unreal is better.
It can into fractal portals. With minimal shader support it would've been possible to make Portal work on Unreal Engine, with all the features.
And multilayered detail texturing. Even many modern engines do not support that.

>>3123878
>E1M9
meme level

>>3123764
Damn right son

Heretic reboot when?

What did Romero mean by that?

>>3123907
>spess nazis from hell

>>3123909
It's in episode 1 though, i.e still in the moon base. Does it mean Doomguy is working for space nazis?

>>3123907
What did Memento Mori mean by this?

How come you meet Mastermind and Barons of Hell before you meet Arachnotrons and Knights, respectively? It makes no sense.

>>3123910
>from hell

>>3123917
Because shut up nerd

But in all seriousness id probably got lazy in the sequel and just said "fuck it, recolor the Baron and scale down the spider mastermind - boom, two new enemies!"

Is it just me or is the first game more survival (especially the first ep) and the second more action-platform?

So whatever happened to Kaiser working on Blood?

For that matter, are Night dive studio gonna re-release Powerslave?

Is Turok 2 gonna get an HD treatment?

I just want old FPS games to get more love

>>3123921
I think that turning a previous boss into a regular enemy is a great idea. It makes the player feel like there is real progression, a good difficulty curve, as yesterday's biggest challenge now becomes a regular one.

>>3123921
I don't care what anyone says, I think Doom 2's level design is for the most part terrible looking and not fun. Most user-made WADs are better then Doom 2.

All it's good for was for introducing the SSG.

>>3123924
I think it's just you.
Doom 2 has more platforming but the focus is still very much on the combat.

>>3123925
>Is Turok 2 gonna get an HD treatment?
Was this a thing?

>>3123926
>implying someone can't take down a Baron of Hell in seconds after gettin gud

>>3123925
When I saw that the guy that did Doom 64 EX was thinking about doing Powerslave as well, I was pretty excited. I don't think much has come out of it though.

I wish there were Blood and Redneck Rampage sourceports

>>3123925
>For that matter, are Night dive studio gonna re-release Powerslave?
Holy shit this. I can't even imagine what is taking so long, especially since Kaiser already did 90% of the work with EX.

>>3123924
The first Doom is more labyrinth-like, very similar to Wolfenstein. The second has sprawling, open spaces and more vertical environment. The second also uses hazards more frequently as a central level-building element (Map 23 is a case in point).

>>3123927
Agreed, Doom 2's biggest pro is the modding capabilities.

>>3123929
Well they studio got the rights to both Turok games, IIRC, so it would make sense to also make the second one

>>3123931
Everyone would love a Blood sourceport anon

>>3123934
I just hope it's one of the console versions and not the PC version. Also fucking manual saves

>>3123937
The PC version has amazing level design though, and it's the one which would benefit the most from a sourceport considering it runs on an old version of Build which can only go up to 640*480 and a couple of glitches regarding controls need fixing.

>>3123937
>>3123939
>The PC version has amazing level design though
I always vastly preferred the console levels, especially in EX. The tricky platforming is a million times more fun with a mouse and keyboard.
That said there's no reason they couldn't include both in a potential re-release.

>>3123939
The console versions have a completely different progression since they force you to go back to old levels and go through different paths that you can access with powerups. The saturn version also has rocket jumping iirc which opens up the game even more in some fun ways, especially when it comes to secrets. Compared to that the pc version plays like a somewhat standard egyptian themed build game, a good one at that but loses some of the charm.

>>3123949
I actually really like the way Powerslave controls with a console controller.

>>3123907
>>3123912
What did Sandy Petersen mean by this?

>>3123927

But SSG is easy modo.

>>3123927

For me, it's the new monsters too. I don't care if they get abused in some wads, I think the Arch-Vile, Revenant and Mancubus are excellent additions to the roster, their quirks make for excellent new challenges.

>>3123878
The music was a bit of a surprise

What's with all the extra maps DooD puts in?

>>3123975
>Omitting the Chaingunner cause no one likes them

>>3123975
Eh, I think the Mancubus and Archvile are okay, but the Revenant has too much health for my liking and there's no way to tell what kind of rocket he's gonna fire until it's already been fired. I think they could have made it so if the left cannon lights up, then it's a straight shot and if it's the right - homing it would really help fighting those assholes in close quarters.

>>3123986
Because they're fucking horrendous and whoever thought they were a good idea should be shot by a chaingunner 10'000 miles away

>>3122797
zdoom 281 demo for durex waste disposal aka closetv3.wad.
http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=wc52su

this isn't a first demo, i had already recorded a lot of it in boom compatibility until i got stuck at the blue door. in fact this would be a boom map if you set the passuse flag on lines 475 and 971 (assuming there was a version of prboom that could do mixed flats and textures)

i realise the last area is work in progress, but some remarks anyway. the teleporter into it is single-use: i suggest making the lines repeatable, as you can teleport back and forth a few times, use up all linedefs and end up stuck. also, the yellow door has unpegged doortracks and there are a good few stuck monsters (the arachnotron on the pillar in particular was amusing).

>>3123986

I actually like them. I also like the Arachnotrons and P.E..
I just didnt want to list every new monster.

>>3123756

I've seen japanese doomers say the word "hoppishi" a lot. Its meaning is still a mystery to me.

wow fast monsters makes chaingunners fucking op

Anyone still play metroid dreadnaught?
or is zandronum still megaman only

>>3124147
>>3124196

Hoppishi is what they call a Revenant, over there.
It's their version of "agitated skeleton".

>>3124237
Because it makes you hopping mad?

>>3123404

I know virtually nothing about sounds, but might I suggest this pack:
>http://www.sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc2016/
and also check out OpenGameArt. You'll probably want to look into some kind of batch downsampling program if you want the sounds to be muddy like back in -93.

>>3124275

It's an onomatopeia for their melee. Whap-psh.
Say it with an accent, and you get Hoppishi.

Is DoomRLA, DoomRPG, and Colorful Hell compatible with each other?

So I downloaded Quake GOG version and I don't hear any music despite the CD music volume being all the way up. What do I do?

>>3124074
I really wish they hadn't skipped over this neat detail in Doom 2. I loved the maps in Doom and Heretic. It was just a nice little attention to detail that gave you a bit of an idea of where you were in the world and how you were progressing.

>>3124342
Take your ID1 folder and move it into a folder which contains Quakespasm which is one of, if not the, best Quake source ports.
Download the Quake campaign OST from this link (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=119489135)) then make a folder called music in your ID1 folder.
Place the music tracks in this folder, You can remove either the OGG or MP3 as you please.

Now run Quakespasm, and your Quake should now have music.

>>3124351
Thanks

>>3124363
No probs

How do you run DooD?

>>3124373
I just group selected all the wads for whichever Doom and dragged them to GZDoom. Worked fine for me that way.

>>3124378
It is not working for me. I must be over looking something.

>>3124387
Try ZDoom or maybe try running it in EZDoom

>>3124074
holy shit

Would anyone be interested in a launcher that basically allows you to organise a library of "loadouts"? Like pick iwad, plus custom wads with customizable distinction between level wads and gameplay mods? Then a few manageable field for each loadout like a rating, comment, "completed" checkbox, etc.?

Am I just being autistic and should enjoy playing .wads? I feel the need to get organized with my .wads.

>>3124396
Got it working. Do not know what I missed before.

>>3124412
Sounds good to me. Good luck.

>>3124412
Main way I organize my WADs is just with some folders, mostly sorted by date they came out. I also have some Cacoward folders with the winners ready for playing.

>>3124412
Sounds like a fine little hobby project you got there. I say do it cause why not.

>>3124412
That sounds neat

>>3124412
If you include screenshot previews, I would let you fuck my wife.

>>3123756
Imagine if berserk packs were additive. You pick up another before the previous one wears off and you just get stronger. Each pack makes you punch harder and harder. You punch and kick the enemies and they fly backwards in ten-meter arcs. Eventually you could kill Cyberdemon with just one punch. Or grab him by his leg, spin him in the air and throw him away. And at some point you could just punch locked doors broken and go through.

I'd imagine the crash would be quite horrible, though. You'd have to keep finding more berserk packs just to stay alive. Poor Doomguy.

Wait, let me guess. There's a mod for this already?

>>3124412
Sounds great as long as you make an OSX build too please

Which is better, Doom or Quake? Vanilla vs Vanilla.

out of curiosity

for those of you who played Doom as a kid when it first came out, did you actually play it WASD + mouse, or did you play it another way? I never discovered that control method until HL1 came out and I used either a joystick or arrow keys/ctrl/space for FPS until then.

>>3124447
wasd+mouse

sometimes dad would let me sit on his lap and let me control the mouse while he did keyboard

>>3124447
Personally I played all FPS keyboard only until HL and than had to adapt quite difficultly.

>>3124447
I didn't play doom or wolfenstein that way, but I was introduced to the wasd format during the dos days when 2 player games used wasd for p1 and the arrow keys for p2

>>3124458
oh yeah i forgot about that. my buddy and i used to bro-op Lode Runner like that all the time.

>>3124447
I played keyboard only until after finishing quake.

mind you as a kid I mostly played on god mode with all weapons.

And then yeah hl switched to WASD and mouse, and went back and played quake and doom properly with WASD, mouse, and no cheats.

>>3124437
sounds like a fucking cool idea, anon

>>3124292

gb2/pol/

>>3124447
I was aware that mouse turning was smoother, but I felt comfier in my keyboard with classic arrow controls than using both keyboard and mouse at the same time. I guess it was because I was used to play most videogames with keyboard only.
One day I noticed my sister was using both keyboard and mouse in Quake 3 so I tried that and it was alright. Since I started using the mouse to turn, eventually I decided to use my left and right keys to strafe instead of using comma and period.
So basically now I still use arrow keys but also a mouse.

>>3124412
why not directly add tagging to the wads? i can see that being pretty useful

Rate the following mapping elements/choices
>Sectioned floor moving up/down
>Monster closet opening behind you (not hitscanners)
>Monster closet opening behind you (hitscanners)
>The illusive pickup (I remember several wads where specifically red key keeps floating away/whatever when you get close)
>Mazy-room reshaping when you reach the centre/object, by moving a shitton of walls down into new openings, and a shitton of openings up into walls.

>>3124630
>>Sectioned floor moving up/down
ok
>>Monster closet opening behind you (not hitscanners)
use sparingly
>>Monster closet opening behind you (hitscanners)
literally shit
>>The illusive pickup (I remember several wads where specifically red key keeps floating away/whatever when you get close)
never encountered it but it sounds retarded
>>Mazy-room reshaping when you reach the centre/object, by moving a shitton of walls down into new openings, and a shitton of openings up into walls.
mite b cool

>>3124630
>Sectioned floor moving up/down
if you mean things like the one on E2M3, those are annoying as heck
anything that makes you wait constantly is annoying, lifts you have to wait for, slow doors you keep having to re-open

>Monster closet opening behind you (not hitscanners)
>Monster closet opening behind you (hitscanners)
depends on what else happens at the same time. probably fine by itself

>The illusive pickup (I remember several wads where specifically red key keeps floating away/whatever when you get close)
hilarious but if every wad started doing it it'd be annoying as heck

>Mazy-room reshaping when you reach the centre/object, by moving a shitton of walls down into new openings, and a shitton of openings up into walls.
there was one in a /vr/ wad i did the other day where you couldn't see shit because of all the middle textures, that was annoying.
mazes in general are fine in small doses, but don't overdo it.

>>3124113
They aren't nodes in the sector-partitioning sense - they're for enemy pathing. So maybe?

>>3123794
What does this mean and what can be done with it?

>>3124447
I played the SNES version first so joystick. Then Keyboard on Doom 95 when I got a PC

I didn't used WASD+Mouse until I got a decent internet connection and met online multiplayer. I was pwned hard in D-Day

>>3124657
I'm gonna use it for enemy movement that isn't A_Chase, basically.

I guess you could kinda use it with A_Chase but that's not what I'm going for.

Man Shadow Warrior's shotgun is so much wasted potential.

It looks cool but it's really underwhelming

>>3124757
Weapons in SW are broken as fuck in general. I think it's by design, too.

>>3124760
I dunno, the Rocket Launcher was pretty good, even if it did look like a weird microwave

>>3124290

Nope. Yholl's Legendoom is compatible with Colorful Hell, however

>>3123924
>Is it just me or is the first game more survival (especially the first ep) and the second more action-platform?

Doom, especially Episode 1 has a focus on horror. Then they saw that it was the action people liked and they didn't find it scary, so they focused more on big action.

This is one reason I like Doom 1 MUCH more. And Thy Flesh Consumed is my favorite Episode.

>>3124764
SW Rocket Launcher was based on a real one, the M202A1 F.L.A.S.H (FLame Assault SHoulder Weapon), a four-barreled 66mm launcher designed to launch incendiary munitions, meant to replace WW2 era flame throwers during Vietnam

Crazy shit, the payload would burn HOT once set off (on impact), to the point that just being close enough could give you burn injuries from the heat radiation alone, a shot could easily melt a truck to scrap or boil the inhabitants of a bunker/pillbox.

>>3124668
Is there any documentation or examples around on how to do custom AI/pathfinding?

>>3124865
>Crazy shit, the payload would burn HOT once set off (on impact), to the point that just being close enough could give you burn injuries from the heat radiation alone, a shot could easily melt a truck to scrap or boil the inhabitants of a bunker/pillbox.
Even stronger searchlights can cause burns, and a 66mm rocket can absolutely not "melt a truck to scrap"

>>3124668
Is it mesh or pseudo mesh dependent though? Would it require maps specifically made for it (or maps with added data, at least?)

I considered making an alternative to A_Chase, but it would basically be a script that pushes the enemies in certain directions or sets goals to move to sometimes, since I wanted it to be universally compatible with all maps.

>>3124887
>TPA is triethylaluminum (TEA) thickened with polyisobutylene. TEA, an organometallic compound, is pyrophoric and burns spontaneously at temperatures of 1200 °C (2192 °F) when exposed to air. It burns "white hot" because of the aluminum, much hotter than gasoline or napalm.

I don't know if it'll turn it into a pile of slag, but I'm pretty sure it'd ruin most motor-vehicles.

>>3124891
the nodes need to be added to the map manually, which was gonna need to happen anyway for a good few other reasons

ain't no way I'm probing doom maps and adding nodes programmatically, especially not with the damn instruction limit, and anything polygon-based ain't happening either

it's just point-based, but I'd be implementing a 'fuzz' that pushes out the exact point pathed towards by a random amount, to avoid dudes looking like they're obviously on rails

I also pre-calculate the minimum distance it takes node A to get to nodes B, C, D, etc, to make sure that things stay speedy

the AI won't be a huge step up from doom, but it won't endlessly run into a corner trying to get to you with any luck

>>3124905
It's not hot enough to melt steel. I bet the projectile is pretty good at setting fire to a barrack or residential building and making life unpleasant in a bunker though.

NOT cool man.

>>3124917
>m202 can't melt steel beams
But seriously though, does it have to melt to be ruined? Doesn't it have to get hot enough to just weaken it and ruin heat-treating?

>>3124910
>the nodes need to be added to the map manually, which was gonna need to happen anyway for a good few other reasons
Since I'm assuming you're ijon (from your mention of GDCC and typing habits) and could do this: what about making a program to run a .wad through to add the nodes into the map automatically? Or is placement of nodes outside of a feasible program?
What about adding nodes placement into a program like OBLIGE? In that case the program should be "aware" of where the monsters are intended to be able to walk without having to interpret existing map data to make that determination.
>ain't no way I'm probing doom maps and adding nodes programmatically, especially not with the damn instruction limit, and anything polygon-based ain't happening either
Yeah, there's really no feasible way to do it. I think Sarcose was working on something like that with his bossifyer, but he mentioned that there was a problem with scaling.
>it's just point-based, but I'd be implementing a 'fuzz' that pushes out the exact point pathed towards by a random amount, to avoid dudes looking like they're obviously on rails
Have you considered using Bezier curves in between points before applying the fuzz? They're easy curves to implement and very cheap to do.
I would also recommend (if you hadn't planned this already) making the "not following a rail" behavior only apply when the player can see the monsters, and perhaps adding a way to have them go back to a_chase behavior with certain flags from movement determining if something done fucked up.
>the AI won't be a huge step up from doom, but it won't endlessly run into a corner trying to get to you with any luck
From what I've seen the AI is not terrible at finding the player, and most issues stem from map design restricting them or monsters causing roadblocks and the monster AI treating a monster blocking its way the same as if there was an impassible wall there which it could never ever pass.

>Imagine if berserk packs were additive. You pick up another before the previous one wears off and you just get stronger. Each pack makes you punch harder and harder. You punch and kick the enemies and they fly backwards in ten-meter arcs. Eventually you could kill Cyberdemon with just one punch.

This is all quite doable, but keep in mind this won't mean much to you if you don't know DECORATE. You'd just need to:

'''1)''' Replace the Berserk inventory actor with a CustomInventory item that checks for how many replacement Berserks you've already picked up.

ACTOR ZerkStack : Inventory
{
Inventory.Amount 1
Inventory.MaxAmount 5
}

ACTOR Zerker : CustomInventory replaces Berserk
{
Inventory.PickupMessage "You got a cumulative Berserker Pack!"
States
{
Spawn:
PSTR A -1
Stop
Pickup:
TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("ZerkStack")
Stop
}
}

>>3124931
It'll set fire to all the plastic and rubber inside the vehicle and probably turn it to a burned out wreck after a while like with any car fire. I was just objecting to your exaggeration.

>>3124910
>>3124937
Also, have you considered forking or re-writing a new a_chase that could be used in ZDoom or one of the child ports?

>>3124938

...For fuck's sake, code tags aren't supported? Well, whatever.

2) Create a replacement fist weapon that, when it calls A_CustomPunch, checks for how many Berserks you've picked up.

ACTOR BerserkerFist : Fist
{
States
{
Ready:
PUNG A 1 A_WeaponReady
Loop
Fire:
PUNG B 4
TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("ZerkStack",5,"Lv5Punch")
TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("ZerkStack",4,"Lv4Punch")
TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("ZerkStack",3,"Lv3Punch")
TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("ZerkStack",2,"Lv2Punch")
TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("ZerkStack",1,"Lv1Punch")
Goto Lv0Punch
Lv5Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch(70*random(1,10),1,"ZerkerMelee")
Goto FinishPunch
Lv4Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch(60*random(1,10),1,"ZerkerMelee")
Goto FinishPunch
Lv3Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch(50*random(1,10),1,"ZerkerMelee")
Goto FinishPunch
Lv2Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch(40*random(1,10),1,"ZerkerMelee")
Goto FinishPunch
Lv1Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch(30*random(1,10),1,"ZerkerMelee")
Goto FinishPunch
Lv0Punch:
PUNG C 4 A_Punch
FinishPunch:
PUNG D 5
PUNG C 4
PUNG B 5 A_ReFire
Goto Ready
}
}

>>3124948

3) Now, the important part; in order to do any kickback, we need the melee attack to spawn a puff that actually causes kickback. Above, you may have noticed that the calls to A_CustomPunch specify a ZerkerMelee; this is the puff that the attack will spawn. Note that you won't actually see it if the attack hits a bleeding actor. It's still there though.

ACTOR ZerkerMelee : BulletPuff
{
ProjectileKickback 200
DamageType "ZerkerMelee"
}

We'll come back to that DamageType "ZerkerMelee" line in a moment.

>You pick up another before the previous one wears off
Note: Berserk Packs, at least by default, never wear off, at least until you leave the level. Despite the red screen effect wearing off after a few seconds, your punches are still supercharged.

>You punch and kick the enemies and they fly backwards in ten-meter arcs.
This is a bit harder to accomplish. But the best way is to do something like this, using the Imp as an example.

[code]ACTOR DoomImp2 : DoomImp replaces DoomImp
{
PainChance "ZerkerMelee",256
States
{
See:
TROO AABBCCDD 3 A_Chase
Loop
Pain.ZerkerMelee:
TNT1 A 0 A_LowGravity
TNT1 A 0 ThrustThing(0,2,0,0)
TROO H 16
TROO H 16 A_Pain
TNT1 A 0 A_LowGravity
Goto See
}
}

>>3124952

Above, we specified a DamageType for the ZerkerMelee puff used by our replacement fist. Now, because we specified painchance to 256 for the associated damagetype, this Imp has a 100% chance of being pained when it is hit by that damage type, and when it does, it will go to the linked pain state. Then, the monster sets its gravity property to less than normal, then thrusts itself up, then waits a bit, plays its pained sound, then resets its gravity to normal, at which it returns to the See state.


>Or grab him by his leg, spin him in the air and throw him
...Now you're getting into Brutal Doom levels of complicated. This would need some ACS magic to pull off.

>And at some point you could just punch locked doors broken and go through.
And for this, you'd need to design the map specifically to "break" doors when you hit them with the appropriate melee attack.

Romero got blacklisted after Daikatana. This is one of the biggest flops in gaming history. I havne't read Masters of Doom in a while, but how much of Eidos' money did he end up wasting? 20 million?

But I still think it was a total over reaction. As a game and level designer he's great. He should never, ever bet put into any kind of upper management position.

>what about making a program to run a .wad through to add the nodes into the map automatically? Or is placement of nodes outside of a feasible program?

I dunno how easy it'd be to add nodes automatically in an outside program - probably a lot easier than doing it within ACS since you can actually access the friggin' walls - but it's certainly possible

although if I was worried about that, I'd implement one-way nodes so that sheer drops could happen without the pathing running into a wall thinking that the floor 500 units up is 100% walkable
(in other words, I'd comment out one line that automatically connects node B back to node A when connecting A to B)

I was planning on adding patrol nodes that you could assign dudes to manually but would never be chosen for pathing, but that's later

-----

>Have you considered using Bezier curves in between points before applying the fuzz? They're easy curves to implement and very cheap to do.

probably not gonna use bezier curves because then the dudes will clip corners even more often than I foresee them doing
maybe when they get within the fuzz radius, because theoretically everywhere in the fuzz radius should be walkable area, but that is *also* later

-----

>I would also recommend (if you hadn't planned this already) making the "not following a rail" behavior only apply when the player can see the monsters, and perhaps adding a way to have them go back to a_chase behavior with certain flags from movement determining if something done fucked up.

actually, for what I'm doing, once they see the player for long enough (I'm gonna say 12-18 tics) they'll either just rush straight towards him or stand their ground and murder you to death with guns

-----

>Also, have you considered forking or re-writing a new a_chase that could be used in ZDoom or one of the child ports?

eh, my needs for this project probably won't mesh with anyone else's needs, as seems the case with damn near everything I make

>>3124992
After the ion storm debacle he quietly just did his job and made games. Not particularly interesting ones, but the kind that safely earn money. I can respect that. I also appreciate his endorsement of Masters of Doom, despite it making him (and Carmack as well) seem like a dick in late chapters.

>>3124910
So... Will I be able to set up monster patrolls with that thing?

Would it be possible to make them stand on certain spot, look at predetermined directions for a set ammount of time then move on? (I can see this working if you make additional states for patrol mobs that makes them look into certain direction, then make Node feed them the tokens to switch between states)

Will this make Stealth-based Doom mods/maps possible?

>>3124992
Did Daikatana made John Romero its bitch?

>>3125005
Other guy here: Have you checked out "Autodoom" on the doomworld forums? It seems highly relevant to the subject at hand.

>>3125009

I was definitely planning on implementing patrolling and delays for this, but because my system is going to be specific to my mod only, you should probably take a look at this

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:PatrolPoint

>>3125010

>>3125005
>actually, for what I'm doing, once they see the player for long enough (I'm gonna say 12-18 tics) they'll either just rush straight towards him or stand their ground and murder you to death with guns

If they're doing the 'fuzz' outside of player sight, wouldn't that mean they'd get there slower and be more prone to issues like clipping corners then? It seems like you could optimize them out of sight (unless somebody idclips through the walls) and they'd work the same otherwise.

>eh, my needs for this project probably won't mesh with anyone else's needs, as seems the case with damn near everything I make

I meant in addition to the nodes thing, since you'd be more able to write a better-functioning chase than from inside a mod; if nothing else you could get Marrub to put it in GLOOME.

>>3125023
all the more reason to believe so.

>>3125024
It can with PatrolSpecial

>>3125018
the point of the fuzzing is so if you fire a gun then round a corner, you won't see five dudes bunched up together from them all pathing to the same node

it's to keep things more natural-looking

incidentally I haven't decided if I want to +THRUSPECIES the dudes or not

>>3123998
here it is with those fixes + boom demo
http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=wg94nj

>>3125035
I get that, but you could add both a line of sight and distance check, so that they do the fuzzing if the player can see them or if they're close enough that the player could soon see them. Set the distance check high enough so that they have time to start fuzzing before the player turns and sees them.

IMO don't +THRUSPECIES because monsters quickly become an unpassable hp wall boxing the player in on all sides and it looks really weird with things that should be solid just walking through each other. There's also the issue that you'd have to make any projectiles go through them as well cause otherwise a monster could walk through another and block the projectile it just shot at the player.

>>3125005
Can you describe what are you trying to achieve with this? Im always interested in new features.

>>3125041
>IMO don't +THRUSPECIES because monsters quickly become an unpassable hp wall boxing the player in on all sides and it looks really weird with things that should be solid just walking through each other.

HP wall's not an issue - everything here is dying in one, maybe two hits, and numbers are going to be relatively low

There's no nice way to spin it. They were dicks at that point.

Romero played the Rock Star life, and bought into his own hype. No modesty at all. And when he goes on his own, he fails and has one of the biggest thuds in gaming history.

>>3125046
Well it'll still look funny, and if you're wanting to make them more maneuverable then you could always set their radius smaller while giving them a hitbox that spawns and stays on them (update it to the position every tic in addition to warping, because for some reason warping acts funny sometimes when collision is involved) that is larger but that they can all pass through, that way they're not harder to hit. They'll maneuver easily but still sometimes show that they have to walk around one another, and they won't just directly walk through the middle of each other, so it won't look dumb.

>>3125053
actually yeah that'd work pretty well

>>3124416
This was how I was doing it. I'd create a folder for every .wad I play. It got confusing because I'd forget which additional files (like a .deh) were part of the wad. Or I'd have multiple of the same .wad because I decided to play a wad with brutal doom or demonsteele or something. I too downloaded every .wad in the cacoawards and the lack of organization was driving me nuts.

Headshots are a gameplay element, ideally, I think that it can be something that can add to a gameplay mod in ways (altough I feel that for a Doom gameplay mod, it's kind of a tacked on gimmick).

Blood effects can be a nice visual additive (though I'm not fond of the way Brutal does blood).

Cursing I'm not opposed to, though I'd rather prefer that with characterization, than just "lol so badass" as BD does it. The taunts and middle-fingers in BD feels kind of quaint and juvenile (which isn't to say I'm above juvenile things, but it feels like it lacks substance, the voice doesn't help either)

there's like one last thing that needs to be added (impaler alt-fire), and then at that point it's feature complete

and I'm dragging my feet on that last thing because, well, I don't want to sprite out the frames it needs, and I don't know what sound it'd use anyway

there's a couple other ideas I had for dakka (along the lines of a whole new class with a whole new arsenal), but they're huge and I don't think I'd actually keep motivated long enough to get them anywhere near finished

and since I made a compat patch for colorful hell (the v82 version should work with v83, since v83 didn't add new monsters), I don't even think dakka needs a monster redo either

so yeah, dakka is... one feature away from done. I got something new I want to work on, partly because I really want to see hotline miami style gameplay in doom (and not hotline 666), and partly because it poses new coding challenges that interest me

and also because it uses actual C and I enjoy using an actual fucking programming language for a change

>>3125645

My heart is broken right now. Well Dakka is fucking amazing, and if you ever want to test out new ideas I would be more than enthusiastic to try them for you.

BD is just too busy, with too much going on and too much blood.

There really is the saying "less is more".

Really, BD should just make a stand a lone spin off game, call it Brutal or something. New assets, new sprites. Could be sold on Steam.

>>3125676
It is fun at first. Enjoy it because you'll get over it.

>>3125660
I dunno, in the future I could get a couple dudes to help me out with sprites and sounds, and fit that playerclass in, and it'd focus on magic, melee, and burst damage instead of DPS, bullets, and rockets. but right now I just don't see the need. and besides that playerclass, I can't really think of anything else that would fit into dakka.

so I figure it's time to move onto a new mod. and hopefully, technical issues won't kill it before it gets off the ground.

if I can get a tech/gameplay demo going (a tech demo, like 80% of the shit I've ever released), and get some people on board to contribute sprites, textures, whatnot for it, that'd be grand.

but first I gotta prove that it's fun.

Anyone have a scan of the manual for this game?

I'm curious how they explain the plot. the plot is quite different based on the in game text.

>>3125673
Enjoy your warning, motherfucker.

>>3125631
Enemy reaction to headshots and damage by various means is a clear improvement, sure, but if that wouldve been just a visual effect, it wouldve been fine - headshots doing more damage break the balance for Doom

BD is an example of overabundance of effects - in the heat of batle screen becomes too busy with useless clutter and makes the flow of battle harder to understand.

>>3125739
>headshots doing more damage break the balance for Doom
Well that depends on what you're doing, some gameplay mods look to radically change how the game plays, and I don't see a problem with adding advanced features like that, you can balance beyond that.
Brutal Doom featuring headshots isn't something I can fault it for, because Brutal Doom so radically changes how everything works, it doesn't have the same balance as OG Doom, and that's intentional.

>BD is an example of overabundance of effects - in the heat of batle screen becomes too busy with useless clutter and makes the flow of battle harder to understand.
I fully agree with that.
I also think the visual design and sound-design is sub-standard and unpleasant.

>>3125739
>BD is an example of overabundance of effects
Ditto. But if a map pack were made just for brutal you could clear up a lot of those issues. It doesn't work super well with vanilla maps though.

I like brutal, but like another anon said, it loses it's appeal after a bit. It's cool, but comparing it with vanilla doom is kinda stupid. Wish it had never been labelled as "more doom than doom" or whatever retarded journalists/kids were saying.

for the record, brutal doom allows you to change the amount of blood that comes from the enemies, and geysers of blood is not the default option.

i know it's not really what's being discussed here, but i just love how enemies explode in blood when you shoot them with the overcharged blaster in doomRLA (before it got nerfed)

This is a story about the most infamous member of the Doom community: Bloodshedder.
One day, I was going to upload a WAD to /idgames, when I found out I was banned! I was furious. I was just going to send an email, when I discovered an email from bloodshedder@doomworld.com. It was completely empty except for a "bloodshedder.exe". I opened it, and it extracted into a WAD called "super sexy bloodshedder hentai xxx gone sexual.wad". The title sounded intriguing. So I opened it in GZDoom 2.1, and the WAD started with a screamer, with the picture I posted flashing. Then it blue screened my computer. I opened my computer back up, to discover all of my pictures were replaced with the image, and so was my desktop background.
So I'm warning you, if you ever get sent a "bloodshedder.exe", don't click on it. You will be scarred for life.

Gives it that authentic late 90s/early 00s feel.

>>3126045
I'm getting there... Abandoned uranium mine is pretty much finished. I'm glad I went with a mine at the center of the exclusion zone instead of a power plant. Mines are far spookier.

Imagine, everyone so far has told you you will only die if you go to the mine. Then you get there, see pic related, and this plays:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izmjbW1ib8M
Your Geiger counter is screaming, but apart from that, its dead quiet... no enemies.... nothing but corpses. All the doors are locked in the main mine buildings, so you venture into the surrounding area to try to get to the bottom of this... knowing it will probably be the last thing you do.

a Morte nears completion, get hype friends

>>3126110
That silhouette with the fog works really fucking well.

>>3126110
>that riff around five minutes onwards

I don't think I've ever actually heard that song all the way through, or that's cut off ingame

>>3126112
Taken from a real image of a pithead.

I have to say researching locations is extremely fun and rewarding. I watched a lot of amateur footage of people exploring old mines to get a feel for this map.

>>3126115
We used to use this as the intro music for our death metal band. stick it on while we were setting up. Excellent ambiance. The mouth/sucking/slurping noises in the background later on in the track mesh perfectly with the monsters in the area... who I wont spoil.

>>3126119

>>3126092
I fixed up my map, was gonna throw up a server

but by now I figure you're too much of a doom babby :^) to throw down

Just tried out the first couple maps of that Valiant megawad and I gotta say it's pretty great. I love the music, though the beefed up imps are kinda kicking my ass sometimes.

>>3126093
Don't laugh at other's misfortune.

fuck

>>3126123
Often you need a good story to start with. Once you have a reason for a map to exist, it becomes much easier! plus I usually just draw random rooms and somehow fudge them all together and make the flow/keys/enemies later

FUCKING FINALLY
although I did skip to it
Also, beat the other hidden level
I swear this level wasn't even hard, just time consuming.
I think I did pretty good for doing this on a laptop with no mouse.

Oh man I hate this level. Only a SS then they throw enemies at long range. And then I run around for 15 minutes in the same empty hallways.

I try not to since it feels like cheating, but a lot of times I just get stuck on levels and can't figure out what to do next. I really shouldn't, and promised myself I wouldn't but I'm going nuts.

And I know it's something god damn stupid I missed.

I'm 32 yet I can't figure out a level in Plutonia.

>>3126178
Is that well of souls?

>>3126191

Yes, and I missed the STUPIDIEST of things. Only one of the hallway switches can be activated at a time, and I missed when I did my wall grunting.

Though TNT had some shitty levels it also had some nice ones. Plutonia in contrast seems to be Chaingunners: The 32 Mission Campaign.

>>3126196
So you're complaining about an easy level. hmm.

>>3124412
I'd throw out zdl for this

>>3126045
But I did work on it, anon. Around 1000 lines of ACS code for the credits roll transition.

Everything is finished, the problem being that the writing is too damn edgy if you decide to Loop. It's very hard to downplay the looping concept of Nuclear Throne when the whole idea is the damnation of an entire dimension everytime you want to have fun in that game.

>>3126229
Looks neat. What's the deal with the huge number of subsectors? I'm guessing some kind of scripted 3d floor dynamic architecture.

>>3126239
Close. Scripted credits sequence akin to the original.

>>3125939
>>3125939
Understandable, a 3d multiplayer Doom with chunky models would have been fun, but they would've had to make/borrow an entirely different engine to achieve it. Besides, a year later Midway released Quake 64.

I don't see how that needs the sectors to be hundreds of tiny squares.

>>3126252

Oh. I think you could have used 8 polyobjects instead - 1 transparent and one opaque for each side.

Will it work for multiple light changes? I kinda need those for the scripts handling an increasingly corrupted level.

Is ZDaemon still alive?

>>3126490

If "alive" means "people flat out refusing to reject closed-source software fueled by inane prejudices of classic gameplay", then maybe.

>>3126490
Just use Zandronum already m8.

I never could properly discern if he put in one or two, I mean, he could be holding two and you only see one.

I think it's ok with a flashlight mod.

>Romero praises the design of Dead Simple

>>3126569
Well considering it's one of the only memorable levels not designed by him I'd say he's obliged out of politeness.

>>3126569
Well, it's memorable at least?

>>3126569
more like alive complex

>>3126583
Is his how he looks now? Jesus

Monster Condo is an amazing name for a game/mod/band/movie/book/condo.

>>3126592
Naw it's just some generic LPer with a highly punchable face.

So which level designer from Doom 2 had the most good levels? Romero, McGee or Peterson?

>>3126604
Romero (11, 15, 17, 20, 26, 29) and McGee (2-7, 14, 22) are all pretty good IMO. I'd say Romero's were most fun.

Shawn Green's map (25) is kinda decent. Petersen's maps (everything else) are all over the place in quality.

Fuck.

>>3126613
Romero definitely had the best level designing style. It's what makes Doom Episode 1 so memorable aside from being shareware.

>>3126604
Romero is either god-tier or needlessly complex (also rather difficult relative to their respective progression level)
McGee is genericland
Peterson is the most consistent in quality
So I'd say Peterson, gameplay-wise

Romero has the most aesthetic levels in Doom 2 though

>>3126616

>>3126623
Next thread OP pls

>>3126613
It's kinda sad/weird/whatever how the best and possibly most challenging map in Doom 2, The Living End, is rendered easymode due to the adding of jumping in the source ports.

>>3126619
>Peterson is the most consistent in quality

Say what?

>>3126632
This. Peterson's quality is all fucking over the place. Sometimes they're fine then sometimes they're horrible blocky nightmares that look awful and are awful to play.

>>3126632
Well statistically speaking larger N implies smaller distribution.

>>3126640
Where's the king?

>>3126645
He's dead can't you see the skull?

>>3126632
I'm looking at Petersen's list of levels and I can't think of a level I really hate or really really like. They're all fairly linear, except for the urban levels that aim for more exploration and the few meme ones (12 and 13 for the former; 7, 8, 30, and maybe 23 for the latter).

Romero's submission on the other hand are either extremely straightforward (20) or bighuge (15, 26), and are way less linear. As such you can easily get bogged down in them.

>>3126664
That's a key though. Don't you know what a key looks like??

>>3126667
Romero really likes circles too for some reason.

>>3126640

>>3126569
it's a memorable design

>>3126569
I always liked Dead Simple. It's a good arena map.

Anyone here has read that?

>>3126767

I have. Got it when I was a wee lad.
First book was okay. The rest spiraled downwards very, very quickly.

>>3126767
I love how those novels were basically bad fan fiction that they got kids to spend money on.

>>3126767
The second book is Mormon propaganda.
I'm not joking.

So, I tried to play some custom wads for the first time and keep running into a weird bug. I wanted to play Hideous Destructor, problem is my mouse view 'teleports' to look at the ground if I look upwards, past the center of the screen. It makes the game basically unplayable.
Happens in Crossfire as well, at least after a map or two.

This doesn't seem to happen in the base game and I've googled the issue with no success. Any ideas?

>>3126779
That Dafydd ab Hugh faggot is a legit writer (unlike his name). Even won a Hugo.

>>3126767
Yeah.
First book is good and worth reading, it's way better than a novelization of Doom has any right to be.

Then after the first book, with each volume, it's like a 10% drop in quality, a 20% increase in weird, and a 30% increase in "This isn't really Doom anymore"

Like, I won't say that the other books AREN'T worth reading, or that they're outright BAD, but it pretty much is another story after the second one.

>>3126786
>>3126767

>>3126793

>>3126781
No it isn't.

>>3126793
He's a libertarian though, hardly the forced meme /pol/ always imagines.

>>3126801
2016 /pol/ is Trumpist and pro-protectionism and welfare state for whitey.

Is The Pit taking the piss? This level is absolutely terrible. It's like Doom 2 goes on a nosedive of level quality after Dead Simple.

>>3126805
I never said /pol/ wasn't a collective of retards.

>>3126808
It gets better after that.

Then it gets worse at around Map 12

>>3126808
The Pit is notorious for the dearth of ammunition. If you start pistol only it can get ugly. It does improve from that point though.

I really wish that "Into Sandy's City" got played on good levels.
It's one of the best DOOM II songs.
The two that it actually plays on are shit, and neither of them have anything to do with Sandy's City.

>>3126809
>>3126810
It's just that the geometry and texture work is just atrocious. It's like some 16 year old's my_first_map.wad from the 90s.

>>3126816
What's the other one it plays on except for The Pit?

>>3126817
The trick teleporters are annoying.

>>3125549
>once self-damaging projectiles hit zandronum
They are already in. Spawn a projectile with acs and don't make the player the target, it will damage them.

OR

Use A_ClearTarget in its decorate.
