it's mostly just extra health and ammo, nothing you'll need. usually there will be a texture slightly off or something that breaks a pattern, like a series of pillars with lights and one is the wrong colour

i suppose smooth doom since it just adds some visual interest without altering gameplay all that much, maybe polished skull.

some are more important than others, as they lead to whole new levels

so yeah, try to find them, keep your eyes open for light differences, odd textures/singularities on walls, powerups pointing at something...
and (nearly as important) make sure to listen to what happens around you
be on the ready for door/elevator sounds, try to see where they are and what triggers them

sometimes you can see parts of the secret areas, try to figure what can take you there

I usually put the player in a small room. They open the door, and there's enemies waiting outside for them. You can of course make good levels where the player is right dab infront of an enemy, as in Scythe 2 Map01, but it should never be a tough monster.

okay it's a My Workplace In Doom map, but before you stop reading, it's pretty good. not just a cramped office full of tiny rooms and cubicles (although these do feature in some quantity), it also has some large open-plan areas with different ceiling heights which give a good sense of space, and avoid feeling like a flat maze, even though the floor height hardly varies throughout.

gameplay is relatively easy, although suffers from the usual problem of maps like this, which is you wake up the monsters before you find any weapons and end up clearing half the map with the shotgun you took off the guy outside the room you started in. indeed in my case i woke up the cyberdemon the text file warned me about before having any reasonable means to deal with it, but the map is big enough to give it the runaround until you stumble on a better weapon. indeed i entertained myself by using it to dispose of several barons (note also the author says "I like killing barons, so there are a few")

despite all that i enjoyed my first time through it. replay value isn't so great though, it's fun to explore and look in all the rooms and occasionally find something interesting, but once known/learned, it's quite a slow play to get to 100% due to having to open so many small rooms with one or two monsters in them. took me 35 minutes to clear to 100%/100% on first attempt, 23 the second time once i knew where to go for weapons/ammo/soulspheres etc. can be exited in less than a minute once you know where the keys are.

Doom is "limited 3d". A monster wouldn't be able to shoot a fireball at you if you were right beneath a ledge it was standing on, but it would be able to scratch you. There are many other such examples where it's neither fully 3d nor 2d, but it's always more the former than the latter really.

I played Rott and its remake for the first time on the weekend.

The remake is kind of meh but I actually am really diggin the original. I beat the first remake episode and the shareware episode on the hardest difficulties (this ain't my first FPS rodeo).

There was no way for me to get winrottgl to work, I can't find all the .dll's I need and Winrott has some really fucked up glitches and a load glitch that makes it virtually unplayable. So it was DOS for me. I had to figure out to patch it up to 1.3, it was weird because the mouse had tank controls on 1 but they must have fixed it.

I have just been playing as Taradino because I don't care about characters and i guess he looks the most like Doomguy.

To me ROTT feels definitely like a Wolfenstein 3d sequel. I don't really know how memorable the levels are going to be for me, but its got speed so thats great. The platformings annoying until you figure out to stop running for walking along pads and stairs.

This game is really mean't to be played on the hardest difficulty, its a blast. I understand however how people don't like it as much, and to me the only superior thing ROTT has over Doom is its music: as evident h as its music features in Doom PWADs.

Prboom is a limit-removing port that retains demo compatibility with the original dos doom. Many other ports are based on it or are "boom compatibl". It also has a few features from hexen/heretic like scrolling floors and whatnot.

"vanilla doom" usually means the official iwads rather than the engine they're run on. Could mean the original dos engine I guess, but it usually doesn't.

Well I'm planning on using fairly extensive TEXTURES animation and whatnot, but I could just ignore them altogether and work on the core gameplay in my spare time. What I want to do anyway is a take on arena shooters where players cast spells rather than fire guns. Spells would have different casting times and the spell your casting would be announced as some floating runes around your body or whatever. Like if you see your opponent casting a fireball you could throw out a rock wall for protection, but he could then counter with a telekinetic push to crush you with your own cover etc.

To clarify: boom compatibility means compatible with the boom mapping features standard.

The ports worth using right now are these:

Chocolate doom: authenticity, anything that runs on it runs on every other port in existence

prboom: "vanilla +". Handles extreme monster counts well.

I was playing E2M6 and that shit darker than Doom 3 and it had strobe lighting. I almost had to stop and take a break due to the fatigue until I found some nightvision goggles near the end.

Episode 1 was pretty good and typical of Doom. The last map got all Hellish with pentagrams and portals but the ending was so abrupt, the multiplayer server would load E1M1 instantly and I thought it was a glitch until I looked it up (didn't trigger the ending message.) So you were stuck in hell but Episode 2 starts in some warehouse with a bunch of UAC crates? The map design in Episode 2 also felt like it diminished the fun.

IMO what makes this game so great compared to Duke Nukem3d for example is that there isnt a ton of menus and sliders to use

in DN you have look up down, jump, steriods, jetpack, holoduke, swimming, etc.

In doom theres just you and weapons. and a lot of strafing. And I like it

romero stresses the importance of a familiar space, making the player backtrack to solidify the map in the player's mind, and his latest maps have plenty of elevators and doors that expand and alter the map, as well as plenty of enemies that spring up from nowhere.

however romero and ribbiks have different aesthetics, romero being 1996 wads which are low detail in comparison to the detailed maps of the current era, which is the aesthetic of ribbiks.

if romero had a detailer work with him on his maps they'd be like a somewhat toned down sunlust.

well that's kinda the hole I dug myself into with damage values - they're so far above doom's normal damage values that I largely gave up balancing against doom and just kinda balanced the weapons against each other.

my basic reasoning was "let's put the chaingun and the SSG on the same level", which worked fine pre-0.06 (in other words, pre-minigun)

but then the minigun came in as "the bullet equivalent to the plasma rifle", and since it had to do the same damage per bullet (I try to keep damage-per-ammo consistent between weapons sharing ammo types), and it had to fire really fucking fast (because, well, it's a minigun), that led to the 714dps beast you see right there

and even at 714dps (same as the plasma rifle right now), it still loses because it's only getting 20 damage per bullet - the plasma rifle gets 60 damage per cell. and the laser alt-fire's more accurate while doing the same DPS.

really, a lot of damage values in dakka need tweaking - mostly nerfing. I really should consider how the alternate ammo types play into ammo balance more than just "who cares, everyone likes ammo".

hell, I should consider if the alternate ammo types are even worth keeping. it might really just be better off abstracting ammo consumption and going back down to only five ammo types (bullets, shells, rockets, cells, scrap).

well, here's what I'm thinking now:

1. halve the minigun's damage per shot, but only make every other frame eat ammo. this halves DPS while keeping ammo efficiency the same.

2. take a page from doom 4's book, and replace the plasma alt-fire with something like stunner bolts - here, it'd just flash a monster's pain state every 12 tics for something like 2 seconds. they'll be able to move around a little, but not get attacks off. in most cases, anyway. whether it'd be on a cooldown or not, I dunno.

3. lower the plasma bolt damage from 60 to something like 40 - 476dps is still nothing at all to sneeze at, but it means barons will actually last a little while

4. drop rocket damage to something like 160 total. since rocket pickup is doubled, that still works out in your favor, especially with the increased fire rate and lowered self damage.

channeler, bfg, and impaler aren't accounted for here, but you get the idea. nerfs across the board, replace a particularly annoying alt-fire on the plasma with a utility fire mode.

you're still stronger than normal, but monsters might actually pose a bit of a threat, before you break out the SSG->RL->SSG death chain (which works in doom 4 as well, incidentally).

>Is Quake 3 still being played?
Possibly, but if people are still playing they have been for two decades and you'll get demolished constantly and not learn anything. Most people switched to Quake Live which changes things sometimes for the worse and is also no longer free.

>Would it better to learn something newer like UT2k4 to play with other people?
Same case with UT, although you might die slightly slower there because there's no railgun to gib you as soon as you spawn.

Speck's Unreal /v/idya group plays UT99 and 2k4 most every week if you're looking for people that like UT but are ass at it, good bunch of folks. UT4 is also a thing now, but depending on how much bread your toaster can toast it might be too new.

It's not what you think. I was playing on my own hosted server and instead of triggering the screen, it instantly loaded E1M1 as if something crashed. You teleport, demons crowd around you, slap your shit around then you spawn in E1M1 and I was like "what the fuck did my server crash."

This is vital information you left out.

The server does not have any information to go from episode 1 to episode 2. As far as it knows, you "beat" E1M8, time to go to the next map. There isn't one, so it loops back to the first map.

You have to manually change the map.

I personally think as long as what you release is playtested by enough people who actually pistol start the map with no saves then you can go hogwild if you can find the appeal for it.

Secret exit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8xWmOI7IYl3aUcwU2xTdnNxNnc/view?usp=sharing

My only main issue is with the secret exit. While it's obvious that there is something to do with that texture, the angle and the small size make it hard to use. On my first run I couldn't get it to work so assumed it was a mistexturing. It also is unfortunately reminiscent of pixel hunting in old point and click games, at least to me.

You have a really good potential secret hook - the inaccessible tower with the broken bridge in the nukage near the end. Why don't you do something with that? For example have a switch make it accessible and have the secret exit there.

There are also minor misaligned textures on the staircase near the end.

Otherwise I enjoyed it.

in the beginning there was the vanilla dos executable doom.exe. some hackers tried to disassemble it and found things that could be tweaked to change the game rather dramatically. their efforts became dehacked. dehacked is a program that takes an input text file modifies doom.exe or doom2.exe. this is all external to doom.exe's knowledge. dehacked (the program) is bound very tightly to the builds of doom.exe from id software.

when source ports came along, naturally, dehacked could not touch them. source port executables were built using different compilers and the binaries themselves laid out completely differently. nothing was where dehacked expected to find it. but before source ports, dehacked users had produced quite a lot of well-regarded and popular mods. dehacked was popular enough that source port authors felt they needed to support it. the only way to do this was for the ports themselves to read dehacked patches and modify themselves as directed.

once source ports could read dehacked patches it was not a great leap of imagination for them to be able to load dehacked patches out of wads, and much more convenient for users who did not need to deal with several files to load at once. of course, if a wad contains a dehacked lump there is nothing stopping the separate dehacked program from reading the patch from the wad and modifying the vanilla doom2.exe, but to my knowledge no-one has patched dehacked to do that. i don't believe anyone uses the original dehacked program any more, instead we rely on source ports' own ability to apply the modifications themselves.

tldr; old mods that use dehacked are designed for vanilla and have separate patches, they assume the user is going to use the dehacked program to apply the patch to his copy of doom.exe. newer ones assume the user is playing with a source port that can read and apply patches straight from the wad.

this is a 300+ monster maze from 1996. it is unafraid to show that it wants you dead.

- mostly dark (128 or less)
- small rooms, cramped corridors
- overreliant on finding unmarked doors to progress
- traps everywhere
- closets of hitscanners opening behind you
- watch for crushing ceilings too

i only died a couple of times but saved often; it's the sort of map that, had my last save been a long time ago, i probably would have quit instead.

good things i can say about it, well aside from one big slime trail and some texture alignments there are no bugs. the author obviously cares and put a lot of effort into it. i think if it were a little brighter (had more light variation, instead of everything being 128) and not so dependent on wallhumping, it would be a good map for those who enjoy carefully stepping through oppressive houses of horror. as it is though, hard to recommend to any but the most avid old-school map or puzzle map fans.

I was told to ask from here.

So I have Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition. I installed EDuke32 so that I can launch it via Megaton Edition start screen by selecting "classic" that would normally launch the original dos version on dosbox. I simply installed EDuke32 to the dos version folder, and renamed EDuke32 launcher to dosbox.

My problem is that I don't know how to install or play mods. Total conversion mods or mods that have new content such as new enemies, guns, graphics etc. don't seem to launch and/or work properly. The new enemies would stay still as if they were just billboards, I can hear the new weapon sounds but there is not difference to weapon skins etc. but everything else that uses default Duke Nukem 3D assets works perfectly.
Mods that are just new maps/episodes that use only default DN3D assets work fine, ie. Duke Hard mod.
I thought I could just extract the mods to addon folder or something so that I could simply choose them from EDuke32 custom game drop menu, but they do not appear in the custom menu at all. With Megaton Edition the classic duke root is located in "classic" folder, so by dropping my mods there they will appear in the custom game menu, but the mods will not work properly/fully as I explained.

I also happened to have that cheap build engine game called WWII GI, and that worked fine as well simply by moving the folder to "classic" folder. At least I know EDuke32 is set up correctly and is able to play custom games. I'm sure that I have just missed a step here, but I have no idea what.
I'm also quite sure the classic .grp duke file I have is the real vanilla DOS version and not some modified version, so there shouldn't be any problems there either.

TL;DR:
I don't know how to play mods with steam EDuke32, guides don't help.

use the buildings as cover, don't just run straight up the map into the open. there's loads of stimpacks lying around plus three medikits at your start location so you can take a few pellets. i tend to come out, turn left, and go round the back of the stone walls you can lower first (don't press the switch to lower it immediately). once you've cleared most of the monsters on the ground you can lower the wall and get the blue armour, then start going in the buildings. i suggest the stairs tower first.

They're nothing, H&K roller delayed guns eject WAY more violently, to the point that it often mauls the brass casings, and that you'll even see little brass marks build up on the spot next to the ejection port, where they bounce against (there's a telltale dinge on a casing ejected from a G3, as well as marks from the fluting in the chamber)

The G3A3 and PSG-1 are known to chuck empty casings like 10 meters sometimes.

Thanks for the indepth and answer and nice TL;DR. Its appreciated. So its just an answer of a WAD reflecting the time people mainly played through Doom2.exe vs source ports.

My impotus to ask is I am very lazy launching WADs and I used to just orginize folders so drag and dropping was easy, but you can also just make WADs folders that automatically launch prboom or gzdoom or what you prefer. And it annoys me that some WADs like AV have a seperate DEH that prevent you from launching it that way.

Hell even BTSX has seperate DEH files.

Just finished episode 2 for the first time. Had a moment partway through, probably around E2M7: Spawning Vats, where this whole fucking game clicked for me. I adore it. Running around tense as hell, new monsters around every corner. Pick up weapons, health, and upgrades, and make those motherfuckers wish they'd never been born.

Use BASSmidi and then just select the soundfont with the software, then select the synth your source port's sound settings. That's what I use for ZDoom derivative ports anyway

BASSmidi allows you to have two ports for two different soundfonts, so it's easy to compare some together.

I don't know if you could do rewind, not in any port that I know, but what you might be able to do is to write an ACS script that makes an autosave every 20 minutes or so depending on how you play (make sure to also set the number of autosaves ZDoom will keep at a time).

Other time shenanigans would be to write a 15sec time-stop and bind it to say, the "Z" button, if you felt that would fit.

But Doom, as a standard game, inherently isn't so hard that you'd have to make saves every so often or rewind after fuckups. It was a nifty feature to abuse in Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition (ask me how many times I twinked with that feature out of laziness), but it kind of begets poor gameplay

>Hell even BTSX has seperate DEH files.
BTSX is a combination of the two. as we are constantly reminded, it is made for the vanilla engine. however, they know full well most will play it with a source port. so it has a DEHACKED lump in the wad, and a copy of it as a separate file for the one or two users who might run it in dosbox.

Alien Vendetta was designed for vanilla doom2.exe, due to being made by competn players (competn banned source ports, too easy to cheat). they did not think to include a DEHACKED lump in either of the releases. indeed as i recall they did not consider dehacked at all; the file bundled with the second release was originally a third-party add-on that only changed the level names on the automap. i believe the same is true of btsx's patch -- all it does is change text strings, it is not needed for correct operation.

so:

- btsx's patch is included in the wad, so your source port will use it anyway, you don't need the separate file

- av's patch only changes map names on the automap (there is no other way in vanilla to do it). if you don't care to bother with it, nothing will break.

thank you for saying my titles were witty.

i'm still here. i just decided to stop spending hours compiling news posts after my efforts were repeatedly wasted. i've read the ensuing discussions and it seems like, as i cynically suspected, most people don't care that much (although i acknowledge though that some of you appreciated the exposure of having your map/mod releases announced in a regular feature).

i agree it doesn't matter who actually posts the next thread and i admit i appreciate not having to monitor the threads constantly. there was one very nice post from another former general thread maintainer, who said you end up structuring your day around the expected time of thread expiration. this is very true, although on a slow board it's not so much of a problem.

so yeah, onwards and upwards.
