No

I'm trying to get Arcane Dimensions mod for Quake to work, but it keeps telling me it can't execute autoexec.cfg. I don't even have a fucking autoexec.cfg file! Q1, Armagon and Dissolution all work just fine without this "absent" .cfg but Arcane Dimensions demands it exist. I figured I could just make an empty notepad autoexec.cfg and hope it bypasses it, but no. I then copy-pasted someone's autoexec.cfg that showed up in the google crawl. No.

Most recent version of Arcane Dimensions (+patch) - 1_42P2
The exact version of QuakeSpasm that the mod wants - 0.91.0

Everyone on google acts as if they have an autoexec.cfg file and nobody seems to be missing it. But why then do all of the official quake releases work fine without it. What a headfuck.

>>3278258
And yes I can see hidden folders/files.

>>3278258
Just press escape and start a new game. It works.

>>3278261
>All this time spent fixing something that apparently wasn't broken.

>>3278267
Have fun with it. It's one of the more advanced Quake map sets.

Reposting for those that may have missed it, what weapon slot are you working on for DUMP 3?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10411284

It amuses me how perfectly sized the revenant sprite is for Doomguy hands

>>3278324
What are you going to do with that, anon?

>>3278327

I'M GONNA WHACK THINGS WITH IT. OR THROW IT AT THINGS.

Then this will happen

There'll be random cosmetic variants of revenants you'll equip too

Someone should probably stop me.

>>3278239
Best doom megawad ever?

Let's see your choice /vr/.

I'm using strictly non-commercial content here, from around 25 of the most commonly cited examples of 'the best'. I'm curious to see what the outcome is.

http://www.strawpoll.me/10426064

/vr/ mystery: What is the silencer for in Quake 2?

>>3278348
Better question: What is Quake 2 for?

I am very pleased.

>>3278353
Promotion for Daikatana
All hail the new king

>>3278338
UAC themed demons actually sounds pretty fucking rad

>>3278343
Brutal Doom

>>3278359
Shit i meant, Military themed, Keep forgetting doomguy has nothing to do with UAC

>>3278343

are you the same cat from the past thread asking for the best 3 megawads?

>>3278343
Just play Back to Saturn X, Going Down and Alien Vendetta.

>>3278405
Yes. Gotta build up a proper idea of community idea of 'best' so I can prioritise the best ones. Don't have unlimited time.

>>3278415
Just play all of them god damn

>>3278418
>Waiter, what do you recommend?
>Just order everything, god damn.

From time to time I'll visit the 100,000 Revenants video's comment section.

>but honestly what the fuck are you doing trying to do with more than 70 demons on one map? also the 12 demon spawnlimit can be worked around by applying logic even if its a bit tedious. and by being actually good at level design, you wont really need more than 12 enemies. on top of that the wave and survival nodes allow alot of customization making the illusion of alot of enemies appearing as they spawn as you kill. if people need to rely on spam in order to make a good level then they really shouldnt be making levels because it just ends up not being fun.

>>3278427

>More than 70 demons

>>3278427
>missing the point of the map this fucking hard

>>3278426
I mean everything on the list, it's all great.

>>3278427
>>3278430
I have 80-something demons in a room in the level I'm working on for DUMP 3. It's actually pretty fun. Checkmate snapmap shills.

Not pictured: 20-something cacodemons hidden in the walls. They're really the only thing worth killing with the BFG. That makes me think I need to add more, but then I remember I still have another major area to populate.

Before someone says

>spam

The imps and demons are an intentional roadblock for a player that already has the rocket launcher and gets the plasma rifle at the start of the area. It's like popping bubble wrap. The real threats are everything else: mancubi, skeletons, cacodemon closets, unpictured hell knights, chaingunners, and one baron at the top of the bloodfalls that acts as a goalie of sorts to block you from making the jump up there. I take loads of damage, but survive in testing. That's with two suits of green armor. I think I'll change them to blue for HMP.

Forgot pic.

>>3278441

A crowd of cacodemons are always a blast, next time you want a party, try sticking a huge stack of them in a wide open area.

>>3278443
Pain elemental gangs are even more fun. The end of Sunlust is proof. 100-odd pain elementals = 17540984573264589762345 lost souls. Thank fuck for finite height monsters.

>>3278445

>When you have to shoot the bfg multiple times per set because the fucking souls spawn after death.

>>3278427
Oh god, the cringe.

>>3278427
I found this
>Your overreacting. Not everyone has the time to learn complex level editors. Also you can do pretty cool shit with doom snapmap

>>3278452

>People consider Doom Builder to be complex

I'm sad. It's as easy to learn as such an incredible robust level editor can be. You can make a basic map after only 40 minutes of tutorials.

>>3278458
Probably why maps are constantly being made still these days. Doom Builder is pretty damn intuitive.

I'm finding this funnier than it should be

>playing doom 2 with DoomRL arsenal
>on dead simple
>clear out all the enemies
>shoot open one of the loot boxes
>this happens
Uh

>>3278483

Yeah Yholl added a chance for the crates to be filled with ice cream.

Sometimes they tell you to fuck off.

Sometimes it goes "pbbt" and drops a normal pistol with JC Denton saying "What a shame"

Then there's a variant of that where a legendary appears instead with JC saying "Oh. Okay."

I don't know if anyone can help but.

Is there a site where i can dl a pdf copy of the duke3d level design handbook? I tried to search it but theres thousands of links to fake survey sites and shit, theres a copy of the companion cd on archive.org but not the actual book.

One would think it would be somerhing easy to find given is a 20 year old book and douks popularity.

>>3278348
You use it, and then your shots will be really quiet for a while.

I don't know if this actually has any real point in the game, I never tried to do stealth, I guess it was just something that was put in because they thought it was cool.

Also it's apparently made like old WW2 black ops. style silencers in that it uses wipes that wear out after you shoot it enough.

>>3278353
>>3278358
You guys are mean, stop bullying Quake 2!

>>3278491
there's also a chance that they drop a fuckton of pistols on you
it was fun

>>3278568
It makes itself pretty easy to bully, anon.

>>3277919
I was waiting to post this until new thread then fell asleep.

You monster.

I need to get a proper skybox later on.

>>3278605
I brought this on myself I guess. You're a fiend anon.

>>3278616

That one wasn't me

>>3278618
Then we've both been taken for a ride it seems. It wasn't me either.

>>3278625
but if it wasn't you and it wasn't me, then who was it?

>>3278639
Some cheeky anon I suppose.

Is there a table with all the numbers for doom doors, damaging floors etc?
I want my doors to open exactly like they do in the original maps, the toxic waste to have the exact same damage and the platforms to raise at the exact same rate.

>>3278639
The same one who has the phone.

>>3278239
Why don't people make more maps for Quake?

>>3278757
It's harder to make a good Quake map and easier to make a shitty one (or one that doesn't work at all due to bsp fuckery) than to make a Doom map, despite easier tools like Trenchbroom.

>>3278761
That's a shame. I'd love to try out a doom map. Also, have you guys ever thought about playing multiplayer doom/quake and at the same time making maps for the arena multiplayer?

>>3278757

The better question is, Why don't people make more maps for Duke 3d?

>>3278765
>I'd love to try out a doom map.
People have remade Doom maps in Quake relatively often (Arcane Dimensions includes an alright E1M1, for example), but it never quite works out just right due to game differences and how the enemies in Quake are designed for smaller, overlapping areas instead of the sprawling mazes of Doom.

I mean, I've always got my fingers crossed there'll be a /vr/ Quake mapping thing eventually 'cause Doom mapping is too difficult for me, but eh.

What is the way the original Quack is meant to be played™? Original DOS release on software renderer?

>>3278771
What makes it difficult for you? That'd also be interesting to see, I never see any Quake love around here

>>3278748
Doesn't the phone save files with retarded file names though? File related. I am on phone, but wasn't me since there was no point posting the video since replying to the anon from last thread was basically equivalent to posting the video

Noice.

>Reading IDGames archives comments

It's cancer, But it's 90s cancer.

>>3278774
You can if you want, but there's no real reason to; unlike Doom's endless dozens of various ports, Quakespasm is the go-to Quake sourceport for singleplayer.

>>3278785
Everything, I guess, especially how the mapping works period with the lines and sectors and this and that. Quake mapping makes sense to me because I have experience in Source- strip away the stuff Valve added, remove the more advanced func_ entities and manual visibility culling, and boom, you've got a Quake map.

>>3278639
It was me Dio!!

>>3278857
It's radical and tubular cancer.

Quake Episode 2 Level 4 - The Ebin Fortress

>>3279023

Fuck off.

so i just finished episode 2 of wolf 3d and this guy was a pretty disappointing boss

>>3279068

Try fighting him on the higher difficulties.

He makes Cyberdemons look squishy.

>>3279079
i think i was on the second highest

posted this in the last thread but I couldn't get the link working

Introducing Home Improvement, a patch that fixes up some of Doom's less than glamorous levels. The idea is to fix bugs and glaring design flaws, ranging from sloppily done areas to issues concerning flow. E1M4 is included as a sample and the changes made are listed in the text file.

Homes to be improved are:

E1M4
E1M9
E2M3
E2M4
E2M9
Basically all of E3

Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see.

>>3279105
>Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see.

Doom II

>>3279105

Whoops, forgot link:

https://file.io/abvxjw

>our system thinks your post is spam, please reformat and try again

>>3279068
The real bosses of E2 are those bullshit mutants. People that complain about the chaingunners in Doom 2 never had to deal with those guys, I'm sure.

I've been busy myself. I think I'll be able to leave my map through the second exit by the end of the day. The monster count has doubled because of the finale alone. The scary part: I'm not done yet. I think it's going to reach four digits (about 700 now, pain elementals add about 50-100). The player is definitely getting Romero's head on a plate if they survive this, sort of like Scythe MAP30.

The main challenge of setting this slaughter up has been reining in the infighting. I want the player to RUN, not bust out their popcorn and watch the demons kill each other. Hell nobles are great for this because barons and hell knights don't infight. That gives me a bit of enemy variety health-wise. The lack of infighting also means more fireballs to dodge and more demons for the player to kill.

>>3279109
The inherent flaw with Doom 2's maps is that over half of them are either mediocre or bad by design, not that there's tiny design flaws here and there.

I'd almost say it's better to remake the good levels for a gentle makeover (just make them a little prettier), and then make all new ones as substitutes for the bad levels.

>>3279109

Fuck that shit, if I embarked on that journey I wouldn't leave my house for a year. Maybe later on down the road but that's not a can of worms I want to open right now.

>>3279119

I think tinyupload is bretty gud

>>3279146
I briefly tried it and I didn't like the way that AF only works when using linear texture filtering

>>3279157

:3

>>3279121

But if you only touch part of doom II, for the love of god fix Map 12

Also Episode 4

>>3279126
i'm getting sunlust flashbacks

>>3279187
Works for me, how did you set it up? Through the settings or the config file?

>>3279195
>>3279126
So am I. It looks great anon.

Give me the best gameplay mod and new levels wad in your experience.

>>3279196
I set AF to 16 through the settings, changed texture mode to nearest_mipmap_linear which is what I use for Quakespasm, and AF doesn't get applied unless I use the higher texture filtering modes which blur everything to shit

>Tight corners
>Pinkie demons everywhere

This insane ass map maker made a use for chainsaws. That's fucking awesome.

>>3279207
That only works with OpenGL. Go to the settings, put texture filter at point and mipmap filter at linear. AF should work then.

Does anyone know how I can run samsara 0.34 with zandronum?
I want to play online as Kyle Katarn but he doesn't work with samsara 0.3.

>>3279217
You mean 3.0

>>3279212
Just tried it. AF doesn't get applied.

>>3279217
Run in Zandronum 3.0.

>>3279223
Nope.

>>3279129

I was expecting a bunch of stupid arbitrary changes but the changes you made to E1M4 are actually pretty logical and nothing feels out of place.

5/5 breddy gud

Nah not Zandronum, Samsara version 0.34 wich is the newest version I can find.

>>3279129

>>3277279
>Fear not anon. There'll be probably more DUMPs I hope.

There will be.
To be honest, there's a little bit of a selfish motivation behind DUMP--I want to learn how to map and how to map decently. I don't expect to be Ribbiks, but at the very least I wanna make stuff that isn't hot garbage..

So as long as that goal's in place, there'll be more DUMPs.
And in the very unlikely event that I'm eventually satisfied with my "mapping" "ability" and move on, someone else will probably pick up DUMP.

Script error, "samsara-v0.34-beta.pk3:cvarinfo.txt" line 1:
cvar 'samsara_cvarinfo' already exists

Remove 'samsara_cvarinfo' and all other conflicting cvars from your ini and restart Zandronum to continue.

Tried removing some things butt allways the same result exept for the 'samsara_cvarinfo' changing into something else

>>3279265
go into your zandronum .ini, delete EVERYTHING prefixed with samsara_*, save, load

>>3279262
Read >>3279251

Suddenly my ACS started grinding the game to a halt after a minute or so of playing. the acsprofile command didn't reveal any loops-in-loops type of issues.

Eventually, I realized it was my debugging log() functions because apparently zandronum uses the old console system that is written by some kind of retard. Apparently the messages were just filling the console up at ~350 lines a second :^)

>>3279250
I sure hope so; DUMP gives me motivation to make maps and the one I'm making now looks good imo.

Also, ZDoom mapping has way too many actions that I'm having a lot of fun discovering them since I've only mapped for Vanilla and Boom. And now I love ACS.

>>3279250

Psst Term.

You are pretty damn good at developing things. Keep up the good work. Break a leg.

>>3279275
>DUMP gives me motivation to make maps

selfish motivation or no, dump is a great way to fucking get it done

No sound though but I've been having that problem alot lately :\
But anyways your the best anon

>>3279275

I haven't been able to push through and do stuff until DUMP was involved.
Fuck everything else, just being able to release something feels so fucking good.

No. Why not just play Black Mesa?

>>3279290
Because I don't feel like paying $20 for a remake that was supposed to be released for free

>>3279303
>Here's the fucking legacy release.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/black-mesa/downloads

I'm surprised no one took the effort to port HL weapons to Doom engine.

>>3279320
That has been done numerous times.
There was even one that used actual models for GZDoom instead of sprite rips.

Should DUMP3 maps support co-op or are they single player oriented? I have a few events that would broke the map if a player is not near the one who activated it.

This tower looks mightily blah... I guess I'll see it later. Perhaps remove that stupid cap.
But for now I guess I'll stash arch-viles in there.

>>3279327

Should support co-op, yes.
Mind, we barely test multiplayer outside of "okay this should work SHIP IT". But I'm sure a map not working would disappoint all three people attending Saturday Night Memefest.

Alright, I am going full DSP here. I feel so retarded for this, but I cannot figure out how to fucking swim in Adventures of Square. I've pressed every key, nothing. Bound swim up/down keys, nothing. Crouching in the water, nothing. Shit just is not working.

Did I invariably fuck up by making my map in Doom 2 format instead of Hexen format? I want(ed) to make a water section. I tried to copy and paste everything I made into a Hexen format map and nothing works

>tfw finally in the mood to start my DUMP 3 map

Am I bad or Going Down is pretty hard on UV?

I want to get of Terminus' wild ri - oh wait I'm done! Now I have to do difficulties and get rid of all this damn placeholder ASHWALL texturing. I should be done this weekend. At the beginning of the process I boasted I could make 2 or 3 maps. I probably made the gameplay equivalent of 2, or at least 1.5.

>>3279402
Good luck anon. May you outrun all skeletons that pursue you.

>>3279386
If it's for DUMP 3, use Zandronum UDMF, NOT Doom 2 and NOT Hexen.

>>3279424
That's no fun anon. I put 20 PEs at the end of my map and I get a monster count bump of about 200.

>>3279441
It's pretty crazy. Cyriak makes some balls-hard maps.

>>3279426
>>3279442
Thanks mangs, I gotta learn how to do zdoom shit to make my map extra fancy. Hopefully it won't be too difficult.

>>3279441

Going down is fucking hard. But it's an interesting design.

Fuck that cyberdemon spawn on map 03 though, Jesus christ what am I supposed to do? Punch it to death?

>>3279436
Oh, I fixed it. Turns out having a controller plugged in was fucking up the underwater controls with ghost inputs. Weird.

>>3279452

Push into the wings quickly and know where all the secrets are. The archviles reviving the chaingunners get crushed, but you have to clean out the wings first. That's one of the hardest maps of the wad, probably the hardest outside of Go2It.

OP as fuck with the Super Machinegun, hold M1 to win and everything drops so fast

It took me a long time, but I finally realized how shitty All Out War is. When everyone on your team including you is getting your ass kicked by the enemy team and can't even refine tiberium, it simply becomes not fun to play in the slightest since you're stuck with the shitty classes that cost little to no money and deal little damage, so your best bet is to hope that either both teams have their shit together or that you're on the team that does.

Is there a better sourceport than ZDoom for faithful singleplayer play? ZDoom's had some weird texture warping in slime areas for me. I don't want any fancy effects. I mainly just want to be able to turn with the mouse (not vertically) and adjust my resolution, with everything else faithful to classic Doom.

>>3279736
prboom+?

>>3279736
Chocolate Doom is the most faithful source port. However, you can't really change the resolution (320x200). Crispy Doom is pretty much Chocolate Doom, but at 640x400.

>>3279739
Will that also work with Heretic/Hexen/Strife?

I don't get the bitching about 100,000 Revenants not being possible on Doom 4.

Doom 2's 100,000 Revenants sure a shit wasn't remotely possible on 1994 hardware on the unmodified Doom 2 engine. It's barely possible on today's hardware.

>>3279950
They're kind of all over the place. One of the better ones is Caleb and that might have something to do with how everyone wanted him in the original to begin with.

>>3280020
Yeah, but you could have more than 16 demons on the map at once with 1994 hardware, unlike in Doom 4 snapmap.

I just beat it, and it was very fun but snapmap is complete ass.

>>3279105
I'd be interest if all you were doing was bugfixes, but I personally can't stand wads that change the layout and room design of official maps to "improve" them. The original maps were fine, IMO.

Not him, but is there multiple Caleb add-ons? I've never played with any add-ons, but from what I heard the Caleb add-on was infamously terrible for being horribly balanced and how ridiculously badly programmed it was.

>>3280027
>One of the better ones is Caleb

>>3280027
>One of the better ones is Caleb

You're joking, right?

>>3280020
I'm sure his point would've still came across if he tried to recreate a BTSX map in snapmap. Even if BTSX would've chugged a 94 computer, it still works in vanilla.

>>3279283
Well, its not a mod per se, but it does give you better graphics.

Open the Half Life autoexec.cfg in a text program (ie. Notepad) and add the line

"gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST"

That gets rid of that nasty, cancerous texture filtering and makes the graphics look as nice and crisp as when you played it back before the millennium.

HEH HEEENNNHH

Old thread about duplicate colours on the palette and colours that are similar enough to be removed, makes me want to rearrange the palette, add some more colours to better fade to black, use them to create a smoother colormap, and repalette the a copy of an iwad.

Doom format graphics in mods won't work with it due to inevitable remapping of colours, but PNGs would work and get paletted on ZDoom and work with the colormap.

Esselfortium mentions cutting out superfluous colours to fit in some more unique colours, here's the BTSX palette so you don't have to dig out the playpal.

>>3280063
It's user preference. HL1 has higher texture res than Quake and doesn't adhere to the strict 1 texture pixel = 1 map unit rule, but does still include a software rendering mode with zero filtering that looks great (better colors, too- does Goldsrc have a problem with overbrights like GLQuake does?).

Disabling filtering in GL mode so you can still play at a modern resolution is better than software for playability, though.

Why won't my skin work

>>3280314
True, it's not the best map but that doesn't mean this isn't complete horse hockey

>>3280318
Yeah

>>3280325
Also as you can see in that screenshot, gl_nearest only applies to map stuff, not entities, in goldsrc.

>>3280330
Can't really see in that comparison but the bottom crowbar has the color banding you'd expect to see from disabling filters.

Close Barney in software mode, compare to the GL HL gl_nearest in >>3280325.

>>3278331
maaan

>>3280313
>impossible
just disable fun barrel effects for the level

>>3280332
I was wondering what the black bar was for until I hit the wrong keyboard key and realized it's a remnant of Quake's screen resizing! The sizeup and sizedown commands do exactly nothing in OpenGL mode, but in software mode they resize the screen and change your viewmodel position as you'd expect it to do in Quake. The black bar is because HL1 by default is at the screensize two tics below max, but unlike Quake, it has no status bar with a face and keys and etc- so the bottom of the HUD is plunked down there instead, or rather, the spot where the status bar would go if it had one and the HUD just sorta hangs out in the corners.

Technology is fun!

>>3280341

As it stands now, DoomRLA doesn't work with the Zandronum 3.0 pre-releases. Z& will have to play catchup again.

>>3280407
Don't worry, at this rate Yholl will abandon DRLA like Kyle dropped DRPG. Then we'll have all the time in the world for Zan to catch up

>>3279745
Pretty sure Plutonia has those.

>>3280394
in the doomRLA options menu, disable "fancy barrel effects"

Playing Cataractnacon (oms3) for Quake but for some reason it kind of makes me motion sick - never had that with Q1 before. Changing FOV doesn't seem to help either.

What are the commends for weapon bobbing and other settings that may help?

>>3280435
That only disables visual-related stuff (e.g. smoke particles), not the different barrel types and explosions themselves. You should actually try the shit you say before telling other people to do it.

>>3280443
cl_bob, cl_bobcycle and cl_bobup.

bob controls how much the weapon bobs, bobcycle controls how often it happens, bobup does... something. I find Quake's default weapon bob distracting as well; change cl_bob from the default value of 0.02 to 0.01 and it'll look much more natural (stick it in your autoexec file) or set it to 0 for no bob at all (you'll still have sway when looking around).

The author packed RMQEngine with the map so I'm using that. Apparently regular Quakespasm won't work.

>>3280468
That shit's one of my main Doom pet peeves.

>>3280469
Christ, that engine hasn't been touched in years. Quakespasm is surprisingly flexible (as are all Quake ports, really- most of the heavy stuff is done in the qc files that all ports including the original DOS game use, and everything else is generally made with Quakespasm in mind because it's one of the best ports available), what the hell was he doing that QS wouldn't like it?

>>3280468

>>3280289
I've been working on one but I had problems with Unreal Editor which I only recently fixed.
And college is being brutal.

Now I don't even know if it's a good idea to keep going since Kinsie picked up Samsara.

>>3280473
People on Quaddicted were asking that too, lol. There is supposedly an experimental build of Quakespasm that would work (svprotocol 999), sadly I can't get it to run so am stuck with RMQ for now.

>>3280473
Just Googled it and found:

>The reason being is the second part of the map extends beyond Quake's default +-4096 map limit. RMQ is the predecessor to the Quakespasm engine, so most should find the transition easy enough. Quakespasm and other engines may soon support larger map sizes but until then, RMQ 0.85.3 is the only engine that has been tested and can play these maps without issue.

How very strange. I thought Quakespasm supports extended map limits? I was sure some of the maps in Arcane Dimensions extend past the limit.

For shits and giggs, I modified a previous test map I whipped up in trenchbroom to be over 5k units long, and it apparently loaded and worked just fine. I extended it to 10k units, greater than the 4096 unit limit in both directions from the origin, and it broke in a rather unexpected way.

>>3280493
The little green square on the right of the map is the player spawn, which is supposed to be on top of a pillar. One pillar is close to the center and another (the one you start on) is near the wall, so it should be easy to tell which end of the map is which, because the wall next to it is bright fucking orange.

It looked proper when I spawned in, minus the wall being wrong. Huh.

>>3280474
My "favourite" part of Hellbound so far has been the end of the canyon when you fight two cyberdemons. After I killed them I went forward, noticed an automatically moving elevator that moves INCREDIBLY slowly, waited, got on it and went to the top incredibly slowly, noticed the exit is behind bars, had to go get the switch back below, had to wait for the elevator to incredibly slowly come back down again, ride up incredibly slowly, and THEN I could complete the level.

I was playing with project brutality and one of the cybers dropped the powerup that transforms you into an agitated skeleton, which looking back to it was incredibly fitting.

>>3280505
Apparently maps that are too big repeat over themselves/get dislocated/etc (starts looping back around from the player's pov 4000ish from the origin, maybe?). Yay unintentional Lovecraft. I imagine it would look weirder with a more detailed, not-straight-corridor map.

The collision is correct, but what's actually being shown is wrong.

>>3280510
Entities work fine and enemies will follow you through the visual glitch.

I wonder if a really good mapmaker could make use of this in a map? Hell, Quake is twenty years old, has anyone done it already?

>>3280418
> like Kyle dropped DRPG

Brushes are great. It's all about how creative you can get with primitive non-convex shapes and good texture usage, back in the days from when you had to make shit line up down to the pixel and there were no premade, outsourced models to plunk everywhere.

This looks objectively awful. The game might look barely acceptable with twice the texture resolution but as it is filtering was definitely the right choice. Better to imagine SM64 as a fuzzy, blurry dream world than the sharp, ugly blocky mess it is in the pic.

The only good things about it is the Doom 4 weapon sprites, and NC-Hud, neither of you've made.

>>3281021
If watching the news is anything to go by, some things are just not meant to be put into high definition.

can't speak for anyone else but i don't care about much other than new vanilla, limit-removing, or boom-compatible maps

The Doom suggestion picture needs an update. Doom RPG should be cut and a few megawads should be added

Fucking interiors.

fun with skyboxes!


so I got the skybox, I smoothed it out to look like a cilinder, and put the texture on it

I assumed it would avoid rendering the ceiling, but I was mistaken.

also those sidedef sky textures are not merging with the skybox like the ones in the ceiling on the room on my level, Im not sure what Im missing here

>>3281181

fucking retard next time attach the goddam picture

>>3281184
select the wall skybox textures and hit delete, then they'll render as sky

>>3281194

that just leaves the exclamation marks, it will render as a smudge in the sky

>>3281202
it shouldn't
missing textures under skybox texture should render as a sky
map01 outside area does this, though using the 'lower ceiling to floor level' trick

>>3281253

nope, it does smudge

>>3281130
I'm pretty much the same. Zdoom maps have no standard set of boundaries like vanilla/boom have, so they can potentially end up no longer playing like classic doom (ie, requiring jumping/crouching. hexen/half-life style level transitions, mission objectives, etc). Not to say such maps are bad, just saying that they arent what I look for in Doom. Gameplay mods also aren't to my liking.

Quick question for anons, Out of the 9 available weapons, how many of them do you find yourself using in an average level?

I want to make a mod that Is based off of having few weapons but many upgrade paths.

>>3281297
Probably never use the regular shotgun when I have the SSG
Almost never use chainsaw unless there's a narrow corridor of pinkies to saw through, or when ammo is scarce and I can catch lone arachnotrons with it

>>3281310
Oh yeah and I almost never use plasma if I have the BFG, because gotta hoard those cells for muh BFG

>>3281320
>>3281310

I imagine that the pistol never gets used once a chaingun is handy.

>>3281324
Damn, the pistol is so bad I somehow forgot it existed despite posting twice.

>>3281297
It depends on the context, ammo, and when I get them. I think Doom's weaponry is a toolset where basically everything serves a purpose (except pistol and the normal fist).

In general: (≥ being greater than or equal to, depending on context/ammo)

SSG > Chaingun ≥ Plasma > Berzerk Fist > Shotgun > BFG ≥ RL > Chainsaw > Pistol > Normal Fist.

Berzerk Fist replaces Shotgun completely because it fills the same niche of killing weaker enemies without wasting two shells. BFG mostly replaces RL for a boss monster, multiple bigass monsters, or a fuckload of little shits, unless I'm saving up. Chaingun is used for lots of weak enemies or a few mildly stronger enemies or stunlocking if I don't have the chainsaw. Plasma is for either dealing with bigass dudes or when I absolutely, positively, got to kill every motherfucker in the room - accept no substitutes.

>>3281007
Opt into [sdl1] in the Beta tab for Redux, it shouldn't crash as much.

If you are taking fire damage from Sumo while exiting the level, it crashes regardless.

>>3281297
Chaingun, long range
Single Shotgun, medium range
Super Shotgun, close range
Rocket Launcher, crowd control
BFG, plasma dump
Chainsaw, last resort

Fist, deathwish
Pistol, useless over a chaingun
Plasma Rifle, Ammo dump when BFG not available

Is there ever a reason to walk in Doom? Why is it in there?

>>3281348
Map24.

>Shotgun could be merged into a single weapon that works similarly to Half-Life's Shotgun

A lot of people talk about how "vanilla" is vanilla - ZDoom strict vs Chocolate Doom vs DOS. I admit that I just use GZDoom with normal parameters, and even play with Beautiful Doom (though with "vanilla" weapons).

Are there any meaningful changes in game design or game dynamics that come from playing it as it was initially released, or is there just a sense of "don't fix what ain't broke"?

>>3281348
Originally walking was the default, and you had to manually hold shift to run. always run was not officially an option in vanilla, though it was doable through modifying joyb_speed to 29.

can someone link the doom iwads zip?
just the basic ones like doom, doom 2, hexen etc
the tiny url link isn't working and the other link is more than a gig which makes me very suspicious and the internet here is slow

>>3281357
something i was thinking:
turn the pistol into an SMG
chaingun gives a second to dual wield, for increased bullet output but lower accuracy
altfire switches between single and dual
starting weapon no longer useless

>>3281362
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone posted them. I want to play doom on my lunch break at work. Plz help?

>>3280821
HUUNH

>>3281368
That sounds pretty rad

>>3281361
But why was it the default? Was it because of id intending for Doom to be a "scary" experience where the player slowly stalks the halls? It just seems so useless except for specific moments like >>3281353.

>>3281373

This came from the pastebin in the OP.

>>3281379

Maybe it just never occurred to them that running should've been the default? Wolfenstein 3D made you hold a button to run too, even if you already moved ridiculously fast.

>>3281348
I feel that it's easier to take in the atmosphere when walking, as you actually do run very fast.

Though my analog stick, with alwaysrun off kind of gives me this speed between regular walking speed and running, which I feel gives a nice constant and is fast enough to make agile maneuvers with, but not so fast so that it's a constant sprint, turning on alwaysrun just puts it back at regular full speed, which is good if I have to fucking leg it (like maybe I'm in a situation where I'm being shot at from every direction, like the final map of BTSX2)

>>3281360
yes, lots. it would take ages to list them all.

>>3281357
I've thought of something like that too.

>Shotgun could be merged into a single weapon that works similarly to Half-Life's Shotgun
It's been so long since I played HL, what did the shotgun do? It had some kind of a burst fire/multishot charge attack?
>BFG can be the alt-fire to the Plasma Rifle
That's a bit extreme, maybe bfg and plasma could have separate ammo types, and it could be implemented by making cell pickups give half and half of them or something.

Let's talk about maps that work really well with Demonsteele.

I'll mention Lainos's Urotsuki series. The wide-open spaces, the layouts of the levels, and the vague 90s dark anime feel work pretty well with it.

Anyone else have any?

>>3281348
in short, not really.

i recall years ago putting heavy things on my shift key to keep it held down. then i started using source ports with always_run features. i never knew about the joyb_speed trick.

however. if you play enough maps occasionally you might come across one where there is a leap from a ledge through a window which is set up to be done easily if you are moving at full walking pace, but will overshoot if you run. but these are vanishingly rare. i've seen maybe two or three in thousands of levels.
