What's with these frequent thread removals and newfag ops?

>tfw no news

Anyone thought about making a weapon wad using Nerf guns ? I'm making some first person sprites out of nerf guns for a non doom related personal project and I think they look fine.

Nerf Arena Blast was the shit.

>>3156808
Yeah, this is getting out of hand.

>>3156817
>[04-20] Romero and Carmack project:
misleading

>>3156819

What if the janitors are being paid by bethesda to silence the doom threads in an attempt to trick people into thinking new Doom is literally the only Doom game?

>>3156820
Well, that video could be described as a project by them two I guess :'^)

>>3156823
I'm with what was said a few weeks back too when several threads were deleted in a few days, some official statement would be nice.

Hmm, TNT2 seems to be gaining momentum
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/1593426

>>3156820
Yeah.
Though wouldn't it be cool if they got him in on it too?

I'm pretty damn excited either way.
If you look at Romero objectively, he's a very talented and creative person, we know that he can achieve great things when actually working hard.

Now, he probably still remembers the Dai-Katana mess sharply, the pitfalls and errors of that are probably going to be in the back of his head constantly during this project, he'll be careful to not repeat those mistakes, he'll have appreciation for the value of hard work, and he also has decades of experience.

I think that this time, together with Adrian, he'll have a very good chance of making a good and clean game

>Title isn't all-caps
What's the world fucking come to?

>>3156823
That's just retarded.

>>3156824
I think he means that people might think it's the other Carmack.

>>3156828
Good, I'm a big fan of TNT, I played the demo of TNT2 ages ago and I loved it, I can't wait for that shit to get done.

>>3156828
Oh man, those are a few neat skies. Are those the same people who did the original TNT?

>>3156824
which carmack does it refer to? the reader is likely to guess wrong.

>>3156823
if that's you kegan that's the silliest thing you've ever posted. the real reason is because he-who-barks-at-the-moon reports every thread in the hope the janitors don't watch what they're doing.

>>/vr/thread/S3098272#p3098845

>>3156829

Romero is a good game and level designer. His problem was that he was promoted to a position he had zero experience with: project management. He's never done that. He let the Doom fame get to his head.

He needs some good producers above him to keep him tied down to reality and reasonable goals.

>>3156829
The big thing is to not overpromise. Daikatana in his words was supposed to be the endgame of the FPS genre.

What did Doom 3 do right?

>>3156849
The chainsaw.

>>3156849
Off the top of my head, nothing really. The lighting was kinda alright when it wasn't pitch black.

>>3156836
Janitors can't delete threads. It's literally some dumbfuck moderator.

>>3156835
>Are those the same people who did the original TNT?

Nah. Most of the 94-97 community have moved on, or in some cases, passed away.

TNT2 will be more of a PL2 situation.

>>3156836

I need to stop posting so many boners, I stick out like a sore thumb sometimes.

I'm not being serious though, I figured it was someone being asspained over some bullshit.

For actual productive posting and discussion: BURL TUMD is still really good, I love throwing chainsaws, but god damn does it suck when you get it stuck up somewhere you can't reach it, needs a callback function or some bullshit teleport ability to put it back in your pocket.

>>3156828

SPECULATION TIME:

He might be indirectly, because I think romeros and adrians new project is focused on one of these three things:

1) Innovative use of VR (hence the possible indirect contribution of carmack)
2) A game tailored entirely for modding with built in community features and shit for it
3) an mmo-fps with facebook integration and shit

>>3156817
>Automatic Lighting Generator not in the news
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/1558348

>>3156849
The sprites were cool, the ones that it had.

>>3156829
Did I have a nightmare about Romero's new project being confirmed VR or did I just read it at night? I know the hype material is about virtual stuff and reality bending but it could just be plot / gameplay and not dumbfuck roboglasses.

>>3156883
>Automatic Lighting Generator not in the news

It was not a reply to the News post in the last thread.

>>3156863
what have you done to me im addicted to this shit now

>>3156883
FUCK, I want this for Mapster32, it wouldn't hurt to take the code and give all the credit, right?

>>3156885
Didn't realize that was the system, I thought someone just looked for Cool Stuff.

>>3156886
Split the metal gills into three or four rows and shrink them toward the end to help with perspective. May end up looking like shit but in theory it sounds good.

>>3156891
I think that the real hurt is using the code, but otherwise I don't think it'd hurt if you credited. Anon reported that the plugin sliced through a door, like cut it apart, so it has to some flaws to work out. Maybe wait a bit if it's a large undertaking to port it to Mapster32.

>>3156886

Try using a shotgun barrel instead of the pistol barrel for a smoother transition.

Is the bottom part of that rifle the plasma rifle's barrel mirrored? THAT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT

>>3156886
Now cut together sounds using multiple channels, slicing at the tic level by muting sounds playing on each channel with a 0 volume sound, and repitched sounds.

You can alter the pitch of a sound, right? It isn't just setting a range for the game to randomly choose from?

>>3156886
>Try using a shotgun barrel instead of the pistol barrel for a smoother transition.
The flat gray shotgun barrel doesn't mesh well with the plasma grills imho. I can try sticking the pistol barrel under the grills and masking the top of the shotgun away though.

>Is the bottom part of that rifle the plasma rifle's barrel mirrored?
Yep. I'm also applying a 0.2 alpha olive green blend to the plasma grills so they have the same colors as the pistol barrel (this is me being autistic)

>>3156863

ugh I meant to reply to >>3156895 and not myself

You're doing great though, making shit with TEXTURES is fun as hell.

>>3156904
>>3156909

I saw that, that knight setup is rad as fuck.

>>3156901
Looks like that's a no, but you can warp an actor to the player and adjust its velocity, even though it's stuck to you, to shift the pitch of its sounds with the doppler effect.

>>3156909
That demon skin is cool.

Realised what was missing from the collapsing ceiling yesterday. Earthquake added.

>>3156909
I don't like how fluorescent the armors can be. So Doom branding aside, is the game's multiplay got anything of merit or will it be something that dies within several months?

>>3156918
>is the game's multiplay got anything of merit
nope

>>3156917
Good shit, dude

>>3156918
Nope. It's bland, generic arena FPS junk. Like a sub-Halo. It will see no play at all in a couple months after release.

>>3156912

>doom install image

Does that mean shareware doom or ultimate doom?

>>3156901
>>3156914
[NO]
There has to a be a limit to the madness! Deadline is soon anyway.

>>3156923
Unless someone makes a mod that tweaks up the speed and damage values to match Doom ahahaaha who am I kidding they'll just play UT4 instead

>>3156917
FUCKING SWEET

MAKE THE WHOLE LEVEL LIKE THIS

MY DICK IS DIAMONDS

wew lad

>>3156925
Shareware is 2.3mb and Ultimate is 6mb as I recall.

>>3156927
Yeah, the D44M multiplayer is dead in the water already with all those negative Steam reviews.

>>3156927
Playing UT4 makes Doom 4's multiplayer even more embarrassing. How can Epic make an early-acces F2P arena shooter that is phenomenally better than this AAA, almost finished game?

>>3156928
That actually would be a neat idea for a level. It starts, and the thing starts collapsing behind you, however at a limited speed (though it goes faster over time). Spreads into every hallways possible, giving a time attack level basically.

>>3156918
We don't have the full modes and shit yet, but I'd doubt it.
>>3156927
>who am I kidding they'll just play UT4 instead
Lol, no.
>>3156935
Probably, but remember that one boycott group pic?

I'd love a version of SS13 on a better engine, even if it's not as in depth

>>3156935

It looks super dull. Like Halo but more boring.

The game overall is just copying previous games, including Doom without understanding anything about why they work. The aestetics do not work at all and a clash of Halo (the suits), Doom (setting, monsters), Doom 3 (plot).

>>3156932
Destructible environment test?

>>3156917
This is fucking rad.

>>3156918
Everyone I know that has actually played it has had a lot of fun with it.

>>3156945
I don't want to do that scene in particular, I'm also lazy and autistic about lighting.

>>3156947
We're going to make the UAC great again, we're going to build a space wall and make Hell pay for it.

>>3156949
Yeah, I had a voxel-based version going earlier and it sent the GL renderer running at a blazing speed of 0.6 FPS. Models run much smoother, although if I go beyond 4k~ cubes it starts to slow down. I had it working in Z& MP without too many issues when about 768-1k cubes were being manipulated at once, but above that it rapidly starts chugging before disconnecting the client (which is understandable). Hence why it's going to be used sparsely to begin with, I don't want to upset the engine too much; it should pave the way for stuff like proper tool -> object interaction if tweaked a bit.

>>3156980
are you on irc?

>>3156987
I lurk there frequently enough, come by whenever if you have questions.

>>3156990
wats your irc name

>>3156980
>Yeah, I had a voxel-based version going earlier and it sent the GL renderer running at a blazing speed of 0.6 FPS.
Friendly reminder that each voxel is drawn as a 3d cube, even those "within" the voxel-model. So each block becomes a 3d model of x*y*z*6 faces unless I'm mistaken.

>it should pave the way for stuff like proper tool -> object interaction if tweaked a bit.
This is a fun subject to work with.

>>3156980
Here's a crazy idea.

Have some actors that are, for example, a 4x4x4 block of cubes. This would be 64 cubes for the price of one model, but as-is you obviously wouldn't be able to affect individual cubes.

So instead of doing cube damage in one step, do it in two. The first step would do damage of, say, damage type "BreakdownCubes", that the 4x4x4 block would respond to by spawning each of the 64 cubes and disappearing - effectively, breaking apart into the 64 component cubes. The second step would be the actual damage intended.

You could even do the breakdown step multiple times, so that the 4x4x4 can break down into 8 2x2x2's, which will then break down into 8 component cubes if they're still being hit. And they don't have to be cubes - as long as they're rectangular prisms, it'll work fine.

It'd save you a lot of renderer time. It'd probably perform slightly worse on the netcode front since you're spawning all the new things, but on the other hand there's less of them, so it might still play better?

Some anon over at /v/ purports to know the story to Romero's new game
>>>/v/335019016

>>3156995
Oh right, potential caveat - online, the blocks could flicker as they spawn in and the old one disappears. It'd require testing.

>>3157003

Hi, I'm Romero's son, I know the plot to the new game. It's a game where you're a guy with a gun, and you shoot things with bullets from your gun.

>>3157003
Oh sweet I love GMOTA!

Also this is fake as fuck come on

>>3157003
>F2P
>Microtransactions
No! Romero wouldn't play us like that! He wouldn't make us his bitch again!

>>3156975
Wherever you have a light, just slap a random sprite in the center of it, then start drawing a wall from it, and use that as a guide line and just cross corners with it and then just place a vertex where you hit the final wall.

>>3157003
>Multiplayer will be a seperate f2p project with microtransactions.

And that's how you know he's lying

>>3156991

>>3156994
I can't wait to get my hands on a release, man, it's been ages since I played a point and click game worth shit. Good stuff, keep it up.

>>3156995
This is a very legit idea - I've considered something similar, but to get the proper effect it'd need some careful considerations. I think if a chunking system is done correctly it could have pretty neat implications overall. Although currently, most of the applications for the system are single blocks (windows, breakable wall sections, etc.), but it'd be interesting to play around with once the functionality of an individual tile is improved, because the destroyable floor and ceiling add a few orders of magnitude to the amount of shit that needs to be handled.

>>3157003

BRB going to go beat up Romero for taking GMOTA's premise.

>>3157016
>I can't wait to get my hands on a release, man, it's been ages since I played a point and click game worth shit. Good stuff, keep it up.

My motivation has taken a temporary dip since the time came to actually make a demo map with puzzles and shit in it. It's so much harder coming up with the puzzles themselves than all the code that allows them to happen. I've been pretty productive with many, many little side projects though.

Speaking of releases: you have no idea how bad I want to try your mod, even just an alpha. It'll hit the zandro community like a meteor when you release it.

>>3157048
>It'll hit the zandro community like a meteor when you release it.

Heh, no. It's not Complex Doom.

>>3157048
>It'll hit the zandro community like a meteor when you release it.

You're very optimistic.

>>3157051
Optimism? I think not! It'll be ruined by retarded third party mods in two days flat.

Can't play SS13-doom without the "spaceman Caleb" mod, and of course don't forget "Brutal Space XIII"

>>3157057
don't forget "Super Epic Demonsteele: Ultimate Zandro version"

How do you A_FireBullets so that the first bullet isn't 100% accurate?

>>3157105
>The first bullet fired in the Fire (not Hold) sequence normally ignores the spread and is always perfectly accurate. Setting numbullets to a negative value removes this effect.

>>3157003
That's fake as fuck but that's actually a good premise for a game, and sounds like something Romero would make, and I'd be super hyped if that was what he's doing.

>>3157130

>>3156935
Low ratings on Steam but very high ratings on Xbox One and Playstation 4.

>>3157294
I was wondering earlier if the reason why they're reluctant to boost speed is because console players can't handle it without a mouse.

Makes sense that CoD Central likes it.

I've got a Custom Inventory actor, all it does is give you a gun and use Inventory.PickupMessage and Inventory.PickupSound to tell you that you got it.

How do I get a different pickup message and sound when the player already has the item?

>>3157302
It's funny because CoD Advanced Warfare felt faster than Doom did.

>>3157317

Probably a weird furry tranny, then. What a time to be alive.

Do you pistol start pwads your first run, or keep that for a challenge after you're more familiar with the maps?
I'm trying to git gud. Recently been doing scythe on uv pistol starting, gotten to map 30 without too much trouble. Played btsx ep1 on hmp before that, and a bit of alien vendetta.

>>3157482
>Do you pistol start pwads your first run
yes, if i have trouble i rather lower the skill level than start faffing with savegames. not for the purposes of "getting good" but just because i rather play in a way conducive to replays. it's easier to replay a randomly chosen single map than being daunted by the idea of redoing all 30 maps in a row.

>>3157482
If the author recommends pistol starts I go with pistol starts. Otherwise, not at all unless it's an established "challenge" mapset.

why does it have the sort of mask you wear to orgies

So, continuing the question from the last thread, if SnapMap turns out to be fairly complex enough to stand out from other ingame level editors from other games, do you have any ideas for stuff you'd like to make?

>>3157494
You're absolutely right, fellow circlejerker.

Anybody got the last version of Cyberpunk Shootout, or whatever it was called?
Haven't actually checked it out since the second version or so.

>>3157503
Thanks for clarifying, and the reason I jumped is because I don't want to see /vr/ get infected more and more with e-celeb cancer. I realize that those people are benigh compared to high level buttdischarges like Spoony or The Unspeakable She-Demon That /v/ Birthed. But you have to admit that's a noble goal.

>Doom 4 is terrible and not retro, am I right my guys.
both are objectively true, though

>>3157482

I suicide so I pistol start just because I get too much ammo after a few levels.

There really should be a "pistol start" option in these source ports.

>>3157519
>But you have to admit that's a noble goal.

I dunno man, it could cause getting oneself banned for spamming the report system. Better avoid that!

>>3157507
Not retro but even if Snapmap isn't amazing I'm going to shart out a 32 level campaign filled with bullshit amounts of difficulty regardless.

>>3157507

No because we have no clue what SnapMap is capable of.
I wish this question would stop being asked.

>>3157519
You really think that? Because I would've shut up a few posts in without incident if you weren't so determined to defuse a potential drama by starting up some drama, which is pretty counter-productive when you think about it.

Someone initiated a dialog that wouldn't have had any reason to exist otherwise. It was directed at me, so I participated. I never intended for it to get out of hand so, now that I've explained myself, I'd rather we put it to rest.

>>3157554
Ep3 is where it became pretty challenging. I admit I lost my patience on a few later maps and looked up demos or used savestates. I kinda skipped one harder map because I accidentally arch-jumped to the exit like 3 seconds in and rolled with it. But it became a trial and error deal, slowly learning some maps and the safest paths before I could make it through.

>>3157567
yeah but compatibility with more than dev builds is nice

also what in utter fuck happened to this thread

>>3156932
Jesus dude, you have no idea how much I want to play your mod

Do you have an expected date of release yet?

SNDINFO's limit doesn't allow another of the same sound to play until the number of currently playing sounds goes below the limit.

How do I do that with a set of sounds?

For example, there's BigMan/Shout1 and BigMan/Shout2 and I want only one of them to play at a time.

Pistol start the level. Be better with ammo. Find more ammo.

>>3157584
>slowly learning some maps and the safest paths before I could make it through
that's how you practise. as you move onto other maps you find your experience from this process of trial and error becomes intuition

>>3157667
>becomes intuition
..and you find yourself beating supposedly difficult maps on the first attempt.

>>3157662
ty, but I already beat that level. It is pretty challenging and silly, when you ignore all secrets and run for exit.

PSX Doom LOST fan remake of Dis adds a bunch of Hell Knights. This goes about as good as you imagine for the Spider Mastermind. She barely gets to do anything before being surrounded. Then it just turns into another kill the Hell Knights level.

They also mistakenly place this in Thy Flesh Consumed for some reason. Looks to be a mistake. Someone should report it in the doomworld thread. I would but I can't register to that forum. I'll try again later I guess.

I think I felt bethesda's wrath, I may have grabbed that Doom 4 chaingun video and put it on my public dropbox, I was told I was temporarily suspended due to bandwith but I think something else is afoot, I'd better play nice with my dropbox to make sure that doesn't happen again

scroton was talking nonstop about making weird ring within ring angels from a bunch of warping actors for like a month straight a year or so ago but afaik nothing ever came from it

>>3157736
thrones? did it end up as the demonic powerup thing in that OTHER space pirate mod?

>>3157726

>>3157741

Nope, the circling runes there are a modified version of the Afrit's fireballs from Realm667.

>>3157389
That is definitely not Dave Kelly. A mutual friend of ours hung out and he was telling me all about different techniques he learned from him, and then told me that he saw some of the infantilist porn Kelly was really into at the time.

It really coloured my opinion of him when I actually met him one time.

>>3157741
Which space pirate mod are we talking about? Term/ijon's metroid or Marty's Space Pirate or the new Term's space pirate mod (which isn't named space pirate)?

>>3157741

http://www.angel-ology.com/The_Thrones_Choir.html

they are humble burning wheels of eyes

>>3157753
"That isn't Dave Kelly" would've been sufficient. Nice anecdote, though.

>>3157607
I'm usually hesitant to give out release dates because they're always subject to change, since issues might pop up; I work on it daily, though, since I want a playable and more importantly testable release out for people to provide feedback on. Full release is a way off, but I'd enjoy hosting some /vr/+/ss13g/ crossover tests sometime in the near future, as long as at least one department or gamemode is ready to mess around with.

>>3157616
Thanks, man, I appreciate it. It's more of a simple tech demo, and the current incarnation is probably going to be used for stuff like inner station walls that need to be destructable for gameplay reasons, or things like outer station windows, simple construction, etc. The main map is at a stage where it's ready to be filled with actors besides these tiles and lights, starting with the most important consoles and then going from there.

>>3157645
What exactly is the hell element here? For all I know, this could just be a techbase located in a Volcano.

>>3157781
it's full of demons

>>3157768
Yeah I'd assume those were the ones then, from pic

There were demon symbols from space pirate but no angels or anything like that, and I don't think the symbols were even used in the mod. They aren't the same as the power up in the new mod, and I don't know what the source for them. Someone (assuming scroton) posted them a couple of threads ago.

Honestly I don't think scroton's warping sprites idea or really any sprite or sprites would work for that, you'd probably need a model or a voxel to do it justice. Maybe some sprites in addition but you need a 3d asset at the center of it to give the proper depth. Rekkr could do it.

>>3157780
>I'd enjoy hosting some /vr/+/ss13g/ crossover tests sometime in the near future
That's great news!
In the meantime, is there anything we can help you with, or would you rather keep working on the whole thing yourself?

>>3157784
But there was more to what made Deimos hellish, then just demons.

>>3157781
It'll go through Gothic architecture/hellscapes but it'll also be really techbasey. I'm not imitating Deimos.

>>3157793
Oh, okay then.

Is there any port other than DOOM Retro that lets you scale up the original 320x200 aspect ratio to 1920x1080?
I love the low res, gritty look of DOOM in 320x200, and I like it even more when it's nice and crispy looking.

>>3157787
I try to do most of the work myself at the moment since I know a lot of people here are working on their own projects, and I don't want to steal their time away because I'm equally curious to see what they end up making. That doesn't mean I don't favor the sentiment, though, since I'd like to start opening up to contributions at some point, mainly due to the fact that the original codebase and its amount of content is staggering and it needs to be somewhat extendable either way. Testers are always welcome when we get that far.

>>3157804
Chocolate Doom

>>3157805
>I'd like to start opening up to contributions at some point
That's what I was thinking of. I'm not working on anything lately, and I got experience in spriting, and since I really want to see this come to fruition, I'd be glad to help out any way I can once you start accepting submissions.

>>3157809
Doesn't let you scale up properly though.
It's always much smaller on the screen than it should be, for whatever reason.

>>3157786
Aren't there issues with applying tilt/pitch to models and voxels though? Like you can give them one but they just won't display it?

If that's the case it would make a lot harder since you could still pitch them in the model itself, but the rotation would have to be animated in with different frames rather than applied with a script.

>>3157786
No-rotation eyes (always looking at you) orbiting via warp in two rings around a ball of fire could be a cool (G)ZDoom-friendly reimagining.

>>3157802
I was considering making it ambiguous until the second half so I guess I just spoiled it.
Nobody will remember this in a day, though. I hope.

>>3157820
It kinda depends on your own preferences. What's so beautiful about the original SS13 is that its crowdsourced development means there's an extreme variety in different features, objects, and playstyles - if you can sprite it, you can code it, so updates are fast and steady. The original codebase has plenty of graphics and sounds to use, although some things tend to be missing (8-dir rotations, FPV sprites, etc.). It'd also be nice to drop some of the Realm667 placeholders.

The original HUD could probably use an overhaul as well, as it works okay for what it is, but could still be tweaked to make it less intrusive. Same for stuff like scanning or examining things: the original game is very text-dependent, and Doom isn't known for its legendary text handling, so a lot of things need to be adapted to be either more visual or just less verbose.

if you're really bored you can paint a clown suit on doomguy :^)

>>3157829
Thats because it scales through multiples.

1x : 320x200, 320x240, 256x200
2x : 640x400, 640x480, 512x400
3x : 960x600, 960x720, 800x600
4x : 1280x800, 1280x960, 1024x800

So if you want exactly full screen, just set your screen to 1280x960 or something.

>>3157843
I'm more just disappointed, since I find gothic/redrock for hell kinda boring and overused.

Wish more maps did the more surreal otherworldly stuff for Hell.

>>3157713
Thank you kind sir. I only have a WIP of this mod and I love it.

>>3157885

I'm glad you like it, does the WIP have the secret function of the fists?

>>3157887
For a secret function, you sure like to bring it up a lot.

>>3157892

Only here at least. Because I like you guys and you get INSIDER PROTRIPS.

>>3157870
What if we stopped thinking in terms of Hell and started thinking in terms of R'lyeh, that way we think about different things that a level needs to be that place.

>>3157887
There's no such thing in the version I had as far as I'm aware. It's the WIP2, if you can make something out of it.

>>3157870
My plan is to suspend the gothic stuff in a totally black void and have the last 2 levels take place in a disconnected/dismantling base, if that makes any difference. But I'm the king of shitty unfinished artmaps so don't get your hopes up regardless.

I'm with this guy, that said I don't want you to give up the idea maybe tweaks could work.

Castlevania test map:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nN4-DjVms8

Attempting to recreate side scrolling in a 3D world, just using a long strip of a map.

I'm pretty happy with the whippable candlesticks, and the pain and death red flickering and flames, but currently the player wont spawn with a whip, and instead spawns with the mace. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? pic is the DECORATE definitions. I'm using Hexen as a base and just replaced all the classes with my new class.
My whip needs a bit of work too. (I've applied for some better sprites from an old castelvania mod)

>>3158075
Not bad, but I really prefer the 2D cockpit with the cables running down the side. That was my jam. Plus you can have the HUD build in in that case

>>3158097
I'm said guy and I'm strongly in favor of giving up on the idea.

3D models in Doom, that are constantly visible, covering almost half of the screen? No, it's not good.

>>3158021
What filter? Using Quakespasm with no changes

>>3158147
i sympathize with doomguy's reaction completely

>>3158091
>>3158120
I could just release 2 versions. One with a bitmap cockpit, the other with a md2 cockpit.
The cockpit sway was a WIP, at the moment it looks a lot more natural. What could be done to make the model look better? Texture wise, view wise, etc.

>>3158163
Ignoring that it'd look better with no model at all, the model itself could look better with shadows drawn on it to better outline the shapes. Right now it's just a vomit of grey.

It could also use lower res textures. The bars up top that I presume would support glass in a "real" mech could be texture, maybe with some bundled wires, instead of thin polygons.

It could be rotated downward so that I can see the floor. You were aiming straight forward and hardly ever could I see the any of the floor in the entire room. You could just aim down to see the enemies, sure, but you could just look down to see the buttons in a mech.

Make the nose come closer so that the shape is less of a triangle and more of a soft bump in curvature. So, flatter.

Here's a good mech hud. The information you want is just printed on the screen, like you already have, and then you just see the window and it moves a little without sensual swaying.

>>3158163
>The cockpit sway was a WIP, at the moment it looks a lot more natural

The problem is that the sway suddenly stops as soon as you start firing, which raises a whole host of questions.

Can you use the idmus cheats in Final Doom? I wanna change the music in Plutonia Map32 to d_runnin to set the mood better.

i only just realized that i'm conditioned to pre-emptively open fire after opening any given maps exit room door

you have a door with that one door texture on it and there's an 'exit' sign next to it
open door, walk back, fire rocket
because you just know there's going to be that one last imp/demon/caco behind it
then i played through D2 map09 and wasted 40 cells on absolutely nothing

Take two. Still a wip.

>>3158323
Huge improvement, but not appropriate for Doom. You can't print anything on the monitors, might as well remove them and put in some flippy switches and cables with zipties.

>>3158303

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use that cheat. However, the song you want isn't present in Plutonia so you'll have to make a WAD that replaces one with the existing songs with it first.

But zdoom with vincents ACS.NET library and liberal (ab)use of the LANGUAGE lump can do a whole lot.

>>3158341
Huh. Never got that error. What versions of TouhouDoom, Zandro and GZDOOM did you download?
Also I do have to admit I only ever played it with Term's DemonSteele. Maybe there's something in the coding there that takes care of that error?
DemonSteele is the only way to play it, anyway. Maximum animu or bust.

>>3158352
completely agree. with demonsteele it actually becomes kind of sort of fun, until the final act.

>>3158468
I'd like to get into MP Doom. What are some popular Co-op WADS? I wanna get together with some /vr/gins and wreck havoc on demon scum

>>3158243
pls respond

Has nobody built levels around window-crouching and multi-jumping yet?

I'm trying to create a wad with choosable player classes. I followed the instructions on the zdoom wiki, and it didn't work. What did I do wrong, what am I missing?

>yfw Demonsteele and Russian Overkill work perfectly well together with no compatibility issues or significant glitches

>>3158540

I'm pretty sure that's impossible, without patches.

Granted, this was in 2014.

Breakfast with mancubus

Yep I'm definitely going to make use of the x and y axis, as well as the z. Should be fun trying to map out a castle using the textures and rooms from this full game map.

I figured it could be a fun hack n slash where everything is whippable and bursts into flames, and you have to traverse platformy type shit and undead, eventually finding better weapons and items. Probably just a single map though.

I might have to go back and play some more castlevania for reference. I used to play Harmony of Dissonance quite a bit, but thats kind of my only experience. I Had a look at the PS version (Where the textures I'm using come from) and the other GBA release (Aria of Sorrow). Any recommendations on good games from the series? I'm going to go back and check out the NES and SNES games

>>3158570
Symphony of the Night.

If you really wanna go classic, I recommend at least trying out the best ones (Super Castlevania IV and Rondo of Blood is pretty much the height of "classic Castlevania" before it became more Metroid-like, although the third one on NES is excellent too), but SOTN is just such a well-polished experience that it outshines every other game in the series. YMMV.

and it has a bitching soundtrack

>>3158570
>>3158578
Fuck, double post, didn't see you already mentioned SOTN there.

The N64 games may be worth it for the novelty value of playing a shitty game, but they're the only real 3D CVs I know of outside of the newest. Just stick away from the gameboy games, they're absolute garbage and I still have flashbacks. Since you already saw the PS version you might wanna try and get Rondo up and running, it basically combines SOTN's excellent visuals and atmosphere with more linear, stage-based gameplay like the first games.

>>3158581
Screw you, GBA castlevanias are awesome.
They are not "classic" castlevanias, sure, but they are amazing games on their own.

>>3158583
I think you misunderstand, I enjoy both classic and the SOTN-like Castlevania games, including HoD. I'm talking about the GB games, not GBA.

>>3158584
Sorry.

>>3158570
Dont forget Nintendo DS games, Dawn of Sorrow, Potrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia.
NDS emulation of those games is near 100% accurate and can be done even on mobile android devices.

>>3158479

Ahahahahaahahahahahahahahah! Hohohohohoho! Hee hee hee hee hee!

>>3158532

Mapsets built around gameplay mods don't exist. DemonSteele is no exception.

>>3158590
It's cool, it's just that I always make a point of those because they're essentially the only irredeemable Castlevania games out there. Pretty much every other game in the series is worth playing with a few exceptions that mostly owe to console generation gaps (N64, that new PS3 one), but could you really call something like Bloodlines bad? It's different and it stands on its own, which is what I love about the franchise. I still need to get around to OoE, I've played every game up until that so I kinda want to get it out of the way.

>>3158028
Probably because you're wrong.

>>3158592
Then clearly that is something I must rectify.

I was trying to center the aim in Quake 2 without removing the hand/weapon from the screen, and I found this Russian forum post that said:

"Technical, it can be fixed by changing "firing" code in game dll. You can calc fire-vector not as shifted normal to the player, but as vector through end point of trace by camera-centered normal and shifted point of weapon handling."

Does anyone know what he means? I ctrl+f'd game.dll for "vector" until I reached the end, and nothing seemed obvious to me.

>>3158578
Thanks! I'll check those out. I solved my whip start problem too!

This might help
>>3158538

I created a "KEYCONF" lump with the following inside:

Try that and see if it helps

Fucking finally. It's here. Almost two months of work. I have a newfound appreciation for community project organizers.
I did a final tally, 68 maps. A hub map, 64 normal maps, a secret map, a final map, and a Marathon map (of all things).

It was a thrilling ride, from start to finish. It's the usual pile of quality you'll expect from a gigawad of MyFirstZDoomMap.wad, but it was fun to band together to make shit.
For the anons that mapped, pat yourself on the back. Good or bad, making something is always worthy of celebration.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fdoryy910uok3j/DUMP-2.pk3?dl=1

I'll post this on the forums tomorrow. Right now, I'm fucking dead.

>>3158625
Fookin nice!

>>3158625
good shit

>>3158625

Seems cool.

>>3158612
Thanks man, it worked like a charm.

>>3158625
Don't know about this. This another /vr/ community map project?

>>3158639
doom upstart mapping project, newbie mapping things
focus of the project isn't to make something super-good, it was to learn how2map and make something

open to literally everyone, several anons including me joined in.

god damn if it hasn't started a mapping itch in me

>>3158625
>71 MB
Oh fuckin baby.
I know what I'm staying up till 4 am on a worknight doing.
The question remains is do I go vanilla with Polished Skull? Or currrrazy with Demonsteele or something inbetween like RLA or Complex Doom?

Amazing.

This is genuinely a cool mod, you have to take gibbing damage from the bullet to complete the stage. So every level is a puzzle

>>3157695

I really love E2M2 and E2M7
God those are great, the atmosphere and surroundings are just top notch!

>>3158028
Man, the Berenstains can go fuck themselves, from my cold dead hands you faggot bears.

>>3158643
My only complaint as of now is that I wish the titles of the levels/author name appeared near you before you went into a portal instead of after you go in. Aside from that, this is really cute so far.

>>3158645
Use Dakka. That's the best fine line between OP and normal Doom weapons. Just ignore the weapons he added though cause those ARE kinda OP.

>>3158625
Sweet shit bro, I'll go through (some) of it today inbetween my own mapping! If/when there's another, I'll make sure to join in so we can go to that terawad.

>>3158635
Dont thank me, thank necrosis.wad, whose innards I perused to try to solve all my class and starting weapon problems

>tfw too dumb for doom mapping
m-maybe someday there'll be a quake mapping event

>>3158660
I thought quake was way harder to map for? 3D brushes n shit

>>3158660
this was literally my very first map and i still made something

you can do it, anon

This idle question kinda comes out of nowhere, but fuck it, this is probably the best place to ask.

For any DOOM WAD creators on here, did any of you post your stuff online back in the day (as in, say, pre-2000)?

>>3158665
i'd say quake is easier to make basic stuff with but harder to do fancy stuff with, brushes are really easy to use once you understand they're just big Legos that come in any size

if you're used to doom mapping though some of the re-used terms can throw you for a loop (i.e. .wad files for Quake are just texture packs used when compiling a map and not actually used by the game itself anywhere)

>>3158665
Like the anon here >>3158671 says, the basics of quake mapping is easier because you're using "Legos", whereas doommapping is more attaching hollow boxes to eachother, and also you can't "stack" boxes.

>>3158323
what do the lasers look like from outside?

>>3158687
A solid beam.

>>3158668
my earliest was 2004

>>3158668
No, we didn't get internet until 2003.
And I was 11 by then and didn't play doom anymore
My introduction to doom was at my aunt's place when I was like 6-10

>>3156883
>>Automatic Lighting Generator not in the news
well yeah, it's two months old going by the date of the post you linked
>>3156894
>>>3156885
>>It was not a reply to the News post in the last thread.
>Didn't realize that was the system, I thought someone just looked for Cool Stuff.
in theory that is the system, but in practice nobody does, so i end up sweeping the threads for links (and enabling everyone else's laziness)

>>3158668
I honestly doubt theres many 90's era fans here who actually made shit back then.

>>3158716
Most people who made maps in the 90s are probably in the 30+ year old range now.

>>3158718
I'd say even 40+

>>3158703
we love you OP anon. may you never tire

>>3158718
>>3158716

There are people on /vr who are old enough to have made stuff then. I was a big fan of Doom and Duke 3D in the later part of the 90s (born in '88). I was more fascinated by Duke 3D mapping, though I never did much with it beyond dicking around in Build and browsing that huge level design handbook.

>>3158732
I know there are people old enough who frequent these threads. I just doubt theres many of them that have released stuff back then. Those people I imagine are more likely to browse Doomworld than here.

>>3158687
Beams from the side

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2gQQUjx3j8&ab_channel=JackJones

>>3158643
Wasn't my first map but it was my first ZDoom map. Previously I'd only done Boom maps. It was fun working with some of the new features - I particularly liked light tags on doors to allow light to flood in from outside. And of course group teleporting monsters with a line action is incredibly useful.

I'm proud of my output. I think it's my favourite map of mine so far. Granted, it was only my sixth map in total.

>>3158747
not this shit again

>>3158745
Do you have a player sprite yet or is it just doomguy shooting lasers from his eyes/dick/gun.

>>3158745
ah that's cool, from inside they kind of looked "fixed" like the whole beam was one sprite that was just drawn singly like a player weapon sprite, but you do have them as actual beams, that look like beams from any angle.

>>3158751

>>3158751
>>3158759
This is the sprite I'm currently using for the mech.

>>3158759
>>3158763

Did you try to make the chainsaw fire invisible projectiles or hitscans instead? Also let's see the chainsaw in action

>>3158764
Haven't touched the chainsaw yet. it still uses A_Saw at the moment.
I'll show the chainsaw in action once I get around to it.

>>3158650

>>3158759
>>3158763
IMO it's too WH40K-like. Trying to rip Mad Cat MKII from one of the MechWarrior games might be a better idea.

>>3158323
It'd be way better if you could find a way to make the HUD fit onto the cockpit.

Hm, I don't know, I feel like the text for this is a little excessive but I feel like the icon alone would confuse people.

>>3158650

>>3158732

I think I released a demo for a Duke episode replacement I started making in the late 90's. "Duke Takes Paris".

It was shit, was never finished and is gone for good I hope.

>>3158779
the text looks awful, in my humble opinion. they (the players) will learn.

>>3158783

The last thing I want to do is confuse players though. I mean there's gonna be a glove, a shell surrounded with a recycle symbol if a I can pull it off, and some other shit.

>>3158785
okay well let me put it a different way, unless all of your pickups have giant red text below them, it's going to look wildly inconsistent

>>3158787

well I mean gun mods look like this, so I wanted augments to look different compared to gun mods seeing as they work differently.

>>3158790

Fuck me sideways.
