Screenshots with texture filters are shitposts and are to be treated as such.
Remember to not use filters

>>3668097
Agreed.
Filters are cancer

>>3668097
linear makes the game look better.

>>3668103
>linear makes the game look worse.

FTFY

>>3668097
Nearest-Neighbor scaling can hurt some people's eyes, especially for extended play sessions.
I prefer filterless, but I do use filters on text so it's less of a pain to read them.

>>3668097
this desu

filterfags can gtfo

>>3668097
I don't think blurry linear filters look especially good for Doom but I don't feel like making a fuss about it.

>>3668113
fucking wise

Why is https://alephone.lhowon.org/ never in the op also https://www.gog.com/game/shadow_warrior_complete would be a good addition

>>3668084

>>3668128
>Why is https://alephone.lhowon.org/ never in the op
Because the mouselook is shit. Speaking of Marathon, what happened to the anon turning the Security Officer from Samsara into a standalone thing?

ZDAEMON IS A GOO SERVER SO FAR. PPLE ARE CRAZY!!! N SHIT

>>3668138
I dont think its shitty mouselook should discredit it competely i certainly dont like it but its the only reliable free way of getting the games.

>>3668140

Is the lag so bad it ended up eating words from your post, or what?

>>3668145
According to /doom/, it does.

>>3668148
>a couple people represent the entirety of a general

>>3668159
>a couple people represent the entirety of a general
Every time someone here mentions Aleph One, all of the replies are "If the mouselook wasn't so shit, maybe we could talk about this more" . So no, not "a couple of people".

Are there any good recent Half-Life 1 maps or mods? Does HL even count as retro?

I'm having an absolute bitch of a time getting custom weapons to appear in GZDB for Heretic. Is there something obvious I am missing that is different between heretic and doom for importing?

>>3666430
I'm using tyrutils with necros compiling GUI frontend, pretty sure its all set up according to
https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Mapping#Time_to_compile.21

It does compile, and creates a batch file in the id1/maps folder, but I get the "couldn't spawn server maps" error

>>3668208
make sure you have a doom ed number assigned to each weapon? does a Decorate category show up in the things in GZDB? its usually at the bottom of all the other categories.

Usually custom weapons and monsters etc show up in the "decorate" category unless they're been specified to show up in another category by the weapon or monster makers

>>3668197
>Does HL even count as retro?

Yes, why wouldn't it?

>>3668197
Half life tower is pretty good

woop, there it is

>>3668225

>>3668225
>>3668228
Happy birthday Doom.

>>3668225
happy birthday

>>3668209
Google says it's an error with the map not actually existing. Any chance you could upload the .bsp file someplace to see if it's an issue with the map itself or with a setting somewhere?

>>3668225
>>3668228
How old is it now?

>>3668197
I haven't seen any recent Half Life maps really popping up lately, though then again, I haven't searched them in ages. If anything, you might check out Svencoop, if they're not still being dramatic over shit there.

Interested in learning HL modding myself, shame that most of the stuff I see is outdated.

>>3668257
too old

>>3668257
23 years old

>>3668260
>>3668215
>>3668223
I played HL Tower, and I quite liked the concept of making small maps designed to be floors of a tower. The stealth themed Japanese office showed that you can still make the level look good in Gold Source, it just takes some quality texture work.

>>3668265
I never played it personally, but I watched a video of it, and it seemed like a really cool concept, having a team of modders each make their own levels to add into a pack. It's a wonder it never happened more often.

>>3668257
It was released in 1993, so Doom is 28 years old. I'm feeling fucking old

>>3668267
I guess you could make a 1024x1024 sized concept for DOOM, but those levels seem a bit of a cliched idea now I guess.

>>3668269
>>3668267
In fact, I guess no one wants to touch what CYRIAK more or less already did on his own with Going Down. In reverse.

Here's the compile and the map (from trenchbroom)

>>3668273
Yes. Yes I fucking did.

>Arcane Dimensions 1.5

Oh wow, didn't expect to get an update!

Man, they even made a new hub map!

>The Real of Enceladus

Oh cool, I like IK WHITE.

Wait, isn't this just Shambler Mit Döner?

>>3668274
I didn't have your problem, but I couldn't compile my map because the folder name has spaces. Rename the folder(s) and maybe the filename without spaces and try again

>>3668274
Found the issue. The batch file isn't putting quotation marks around the file path, so it's dropping everything after the first space.

>copy MY FIRST MAP.bsp C:\QUAKE EDITING\quakespasm-0.92.1_win64\id1\maps

It's making it to C:\QUAKE and dropping everything past it.

Best thing to do is rework your directories to not include spaces (C:\QuakeEditing\quakespasm\id1\maps and firstmap instead of MY FIRST MAP) and don't put spaces in your filenames.

>>3668289
The map itself compiles fine once you've got the file paths set up properly, by the way.

>>3668268
23 years actually

>>3668293
Eh.

>>3668293

>>3668293
Yeah, pretty good list. To the next year we go.

>>3668293
>DBT and crew redeemed

>>3668289
nice, thanks, I'll try that out.

I'd really like to have a go at doing a quake map, as I've been a fan ever since it came out. I've done lots of doom and hexen mapping but never 3d. Trenchbroom is a dream to work with though, very nice editor.

>>3668310

>>3668315

thanks m8ey

>>3668213
that's the problem there is no Decorate category and I can't figure out why :(

Eh, I'm not sure I would call it the best map release this year, even if it was done by Romero himself.

>Mockaward is not "Run for it"
Damn shame. Maybe if it had come out a little earlier it might have won.

>Brutal Doom 64 nowhere in sight

>>3668391
Name a better map release

Hello, klutz caco writer here.

The "top ten" aren't ranked. Some of the panel will have their personal preferences, but the cacos are usually arranged according to how they measure up to the sidebar material for length. Tech Gone Bad is a special case, though; it'd have gone at the start or the end all the same.

>>3668293
>Alpha Accident
It was pretty good, invoking a similar oldschool feel with something a little bit extra, like the demo for Nihility, but it's not AS good as Nihility, and I feel that Bloodstain, for instance, which was a runner up, was overall a more enjoyable and meaty experience.

>>3668416
hi term

>>3668425
>tfw I now read every written piece by each mod author in their voice thanks to Intermission

>Bloodstain gets Hellbounded while single maps get awarded instead.

I still can't believe Pipicz just abandoned the project and never released a 2nd version with bug fixes and whatnot.

romero's map is generic and would be forgotten as a sub 1k download 3 star project if it didn't have his name next to it

>>3668062
It took 73 MB off of Blade of Agony.

>>3668437

Well I'm impressed.

>>3668437
Well goddamn, that's nice.

Will there be a means of optimizing MP3 files in the future? I think they are the main offender when it comes to oversized mods.

>>3668443
It's lossless only, sorry, unless someone's invented a lossless MP3 packer. I'm the guy making PortaDOOM, so I need this tool to bring down the final download size as much as possible without compromising the WADs. If anybody is aware of any lossless optimization tools for other common DOOM formats, such as WAV, MID, OGG that'd be a huge help.

>>3668437

>>3668430
>while single maps get awarded instead

Good. Single map releases are better because authors just end up stretching their creativity thin for the sake of reaching a quota of maps when they make a megawad.

>>3668293
>Mutiny
I still don't think it accomplished what it was meant to be, a spiritual successor to 90's cyberpunk wads. It suffers from modern level design and monster counts/encounters.

>>3668452
>It suffers from modern level design

Isn't this...expected for something that's supposed to be a successor?
That's a strange complaint.

>>3668293
I am SO glad that Nihility got an award, that's one of the few Doom episodes which have REALLY touched me. I went in expecting nothing and I was struck by how phenomenal it was.

>finally made it halfway through Plutonia UV
>Cyberden
Is there any end to these Revenants. All I hear anymore is bones rattling and screaming in the distance.

>>3668459
Strap yourself in boi, this is one of the toughest official levels.

But it's about to get even tougher.

>>3668460
I was doing so well until the hoards of hell's finest bone men came to dick me. The BFG feels like a peashooter these days.
The next level is the hardest level, isn't it. If there's more than 5 Archviles I'm going postal.

>>3668081
>0.I
Seriously though, how does somebody make this mistake?

>>3668474
It's baffling, isn't it? He must have been awake for like 30 hours when he did THAT slip.

>>3668490
It's not just one though, it's used many times

>>3668293
I haven't heard about the Mockaward map so I checked it out and it's actually pretty funny.

I'm also happy LainOS receives some appreciation but i don't agree with Strange Aeons only making it to the notable mentions.

>>3668490
Graf Zahl told him months in advance that they are going to change that and that Mark needs to fix it.

Happy birthday to Doom.

>>3668510
Making my first weapons mod. Wish me luck

This is the first time I've seen a mod use the gameplay options menu. The mod author probably should just set up a new options menu like plenty of other mods do.

Do you have any hopes in the Bombshell game?

>>3667387
>people still post this webm of my dumb map

I'm pleased.

>>3668510
But is it okay to post screenshots of things not listed in the post? It's SCREENSHOT Saturday, after all.

>>3668536
Looks fuckin' great
What software did you use for motion blur?

>>3668546
Visually it's stunning (Cage is a boss!), gameplay wise it hasn't proven anything yet. I think of the many shots that have been released so far, only one or two have actual enemies in them.

I'd like to be optimistic, but frankly it could go either way.

>>3668546
Looks like a real "sequel" to Duke 3D just from looks alone.

>>3668546
I'd prefer more abstract level design but that's just me.

>>3668545
Hideous Destructor and Demonsteele use the gameplay options menu too.

>>3668556
Demonsteele uses its own menu

>>3668293
>mfw Brutal Doom 64 wins nothing

>>3668536

>>3668536

The swing looks fine but that windup looks like really bad. Like a bad tween in a flash animation.

>>3668548
>It's SCREENSHOT Saturday, after all.
you're correct, it is

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=screenshot+saturday

so, no

>>3668580
Too bad! I am going to this anyway. Should've called it WIP Wednesday :^)

>>3668578
>>3668580
Fuck off.

>>3668584

Misquote there? Because I'm giving genuine criticism regarding that guy's weapon. The swing is fine but that wind up is bad. The sword should just go straight down off screen, then start whipping around.

>>3668565
>tfw mod I spent a couple of hours on gets a mention, and BD64 which probably took him months to finish gets no mention

>>3668587

>>3668587

Is there a way to check which difficulty you're on? I started a game a week ago and don't remember if I picked HMP or UV.

Very nice, they're well deserved. Haven't tried too many of the others out, but it seems like it was a good year.
>No BD64 mentioned at all
Icing on the cake.

>>3668707
despite everything, 2016 went pretty well for doom

>>3668293
Meh. Though I'm glad that Lainos was awarded. I'm ok with the the overall top ten and for the total lack of some stuff from this year that I thought it was really worth of mention. But there was nothing really interesting for me in these cacowards.

>>3668293

Everything looks great on the DoomSpace!

Why does everybody have the shits with Brutal Doom 64?

I haven't played it or any of it's packs or whatever, so fill me in.

>>3668789
it's literally just an attack on its author

the mod itself is OK though. Not bad, not good either. Too many fog and other unnecessary (((effects))), a lot of little things that could have been done better in general, hence why it didn't win.

>reading Romero's Tech Gone Bad readme file
>"other files by author"
>doom1.wad, doom2.wad

You funny guy, Romero.

>>3668789

Think of LJN, this is mark

The original doom shotgun has a unique feel in my opinion.
Despite being sort of the "standard" gun trough the game,it still feels powerfull and never becomes useless.
Why did the FPS genre abandon the shotgun in favour of machine guns?

>>3668815
The real question is why we ever went away from nailguns.

>>3668819
I never felt attached to the nailgun,but then again,I never really played quake that much.
Remember playing it in the schools computerlab alone since the others were fuckwits and didn't want to play it.

https://twitter.com/romero/status/807608632972079104

So how do you lot feel about Jupiter Hell? Anyone back it or excited for it?

It certainly looks interesting on premise, like the various sectors on the moons, and I'd be interested to see what the dev could do with an expanded and original roster of enemies, weapons, and classes. I was pleasantly surprised by how fun DoomRL was and I think the dev could do a good job with a spiritual successor, though I think I'd rather just buy the game when it comes out/has more details shown. It's got $10k to go and three days left, Kickstarters have a trend of getting tons of funding in the last few days but 10k is a lot, so it's hard to say if it'll get funded or not.

>>3668815
this

I hate hitscan and machine guns so much

nowadays, (((shotguns))) in games want to be ultra-realistic and have such low range, it's just not practical to use

R.I.P. funguns

>>3668268
Damn, that place looks comfy as fuck.

Can anybody recommend me a good gameplay mod to try Ancient Aliens with?

I want one that keeps doesn't make me overpowered straight up, sorry pillowblaster.

I've played with

>Doom4doom
>Brutal

>>3668824

>>3668845
Dakka?

Some days I just wanna snuggle up in bed and ignore everything and do something cozy. Today is looking like one of those days

>>3668851
Lame.

>>3668852
What is this?
It doesn't look like much.

>>3668861
Dakka just makes the game a bit more faster. You run faster, your guns shoot faster and more accurately and do a bit more damage, has a score system which rewards you with ammo and extra lives. I like it a lot.

>>3668854
>HUD and Pickup sprites are HD true colour
>actual weapon isn't

>>3668845

Metroid Dreadnough goes well with AA

That doesn't make slaughtermaps any better or less tedious.

that's a gruesome death

>>3668832
>nowadays, (((shotguns))) in games want to be ultra-realistic and have such low range

No. They are trying to be balanced, not realistic. In real life, a buckshot fired from a long barrel can easily hit someone from 60 feet away with several pellets.

>>3668510
I wish this got more replies.

PS: I just got back into Doom so uh....I played Bloodstain with Doom4Doom, was pretty aiight.

Holy shit, you're not kidding. Everything touched by doom DOES turn into platinum!

anyone else really liked the 2009 wolfenstein?

How do you guys feel about Requiem:Avenging Angel?
I think the setting and gameplay mechanics are dank as fuck and the image of hell is very cool, though it's ruined by hitscan enemies and extreme difficulty

>>3668874
I might wait for Space Pirate's latest version since it looks alright.

>>3668913
By far the weakest Wolfenstein game, but it's alright I guess.

Agreed. My first thoughts reading that OP was "what does any of this have to do with Doom and why has it been allowed for seven pages?"

I wouldn't even interact with these people.

Going into any "off topic" section is a guaranteed way of finding out that somebody whose material you like is a fucking moron outside of your hobby.

As part of my career arc, I read news and current affairs for at least 6 hours a day but usually around 8. It's not as long as you think if you love what you do.

I'm pretty sure that nobody in the doom communities bar a few would know more than me about most pressing news (and I read places that they get their opinions from anyway) so I don't even bother reading their views on anything other than doom.

If I were to make a profile and speak to people all I'd ever speak about is things doom related and be nice to people as I don't view people in this forum as friends or colleagues I'd bounce ideas off. They're just going to repeat whatever newspaper they read the most says and I read them all. I could probably articulate their stupid opinions I don't even agree with better than they could.

It's depressing and true that old theory of anything that isn't explicitly against identity politics/Marxist bullshit inevitably becomes a beacon for it.

There was some guy in the tech world who made quite a bit of money shorting companies that hired SJ types to run things as they would inevitably fuck the company up.

These people are exactly the same wherever they are, I have found. They'll say something contentious eg: "oh woe is me, everybody hates me and is [x]ist, please tell me I'm amazing, /pol/ or something", get disagreed with, report them and learn nothing from the experience and slowly build an echo chamber until it collapses and their community starts anew.

Seriously, read that post, see how long it is.
How important does this person think they are to vomit out their entire life story expecting us all to care about the small details....

I hardly expect anybody here to read all of this post much less that one you linked and I'm at the character limit now.

Huh, that reminded me of that whole "when the zombie apocalypse happens, us gamers will be prepared!" meme. It'd be absolutely horrific and apocalyptic, but it'd also be pretty cool to see Doom become a reality, in a sense (for about five minutes, at least.) If hell's forces were as powerful and numbered as they were in Doom, we'd definitely be fucked, but maybe modern/future tech like tanks and nukes will help save the day.
I hope Metallica is still around so they can play live metal music on speakers across the world for the true Doom experience.

>>3668824

He looks so happy. Where's my "Pet the Romero" mod?

>>3669091
two actually, one in January and one around June I think.

I play Doom on UV but haven't played any of the hard wads like Valiant, yet. Can I just pick these up and play them or do I need a shitload of practice to beat them?

I don't mind restarting a level like 10 times but I don't like to practice Doom levels like arcade games to be able to beat them. I like it rough and want to play on UV but the levels still should be enjoyable.

>>3668432
yeah its fucking BS that one of the creators of doom gets preferential treatment in doom awards on a doom fansite

>>3668913
Great game bogged down by what I expect were design choices forced on Raven by Activision.

For example, some leftover dialogue between the Nazis indicate that Blazkowicz was supposed to look like in RTCW originally, but was changed at the last minute for some reason.

In any case, the weapon and enemy selection is definitely a lot more interesting than in The New Order, and the Veil powers also mix up the gameplay quite a bit despite the health regen.
There's also quite a bit of exploration going on in the hub level, with multiple choices of where to go next at times, which is to be expected from Raven I suppose.

And you collect Tomes of Power from Heretic/Hexen, which is cool.

>>3668913
miles better than TNO and TOB.

>>3669192
his maps are still pretty forgettable m8.

>>3668913
It was shit. They removed the kick from RtCW, and they added shitty stabbing animation instead of just shanking the nazi in the ass.

What does a job in hell pay anyways?

>>3669221
One whipping a day.

>>3669221
Human souls would be my guess.

>>3668913
I liked that it respected the original gritty RTCW general aesthetic and vibe, demons and occultism aspects included. gunplay was pretty satisfying, laser gun feels better to use than TNO's retardedly broken car battery balloon popper. veil device was a pretty interesting mechanic that they couldn't make much use of sadly. enemies were fun to fight, lots of cool sound effects and the bosses were cool as fuck. last level was the fucking tits, deathshead was intimidating as hell

What a blast.

I feel helpless with all these ACS ActorProperties and so on.
Is there a tutorial specifically on that? I just want something to happen when the player loses a certain amount of health.

Ok so I want to make a Hexen style map with custom weapons and monsters added. I don't know how to create or edit classes in hexen but I found a Hexen weapons for doom was that works well. So I'm thinking I'll just import textures and monsters into doom and go from there.

What I'd really like is the Clerics hud with the Wraithverge pieces since I plan to have that as the final weapon.

Am I doing this the hard way? Is creating a class that can use any weapon easier? Google brought up nothing so I feel screwed

>>3669642

nope

>>3668913
I actually quite liked it despite a lot of it's flaws and quirks. The gunplay is good, the veil powers are interesting and fun, weapon upgrades are nice, the design and aesthetics are pretty good, and boss battles are not bad, the final boss is even quite good and hard.

I REALLY liked the Mauser rifle, with the damage upgrades and the bayonet, I used it as one of my main weapons, a thundering boom that drops most mooks in one shot from a long distance, and a bayonet that's good for slitting throats (especially in veil time, where you can easily slit the throat of like 5 nazis before they can even react).

I absolutely didn't like the regen health (the lack of turkey dinners and medkits is a serious flaw), and levels, while featuring a bit of fun exploration and some treasure hunting, were ultimately quite linear. Story wasn't as interesting as in Return, and the title of the game should obviously have been Wolfenstein: Black Sun
Overall, I think in many aspects, it's almost as good as Return, having a strong edge in gunplay, but having a series of smaller flaws against it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Raven having a second go at making a Wolf game, maybe they could remake Return To Castle Wolfenstein, I'd love to see that with modern graphics and 09's gunplay.

I think they assembled all the bodies for the living weapons out of corpses.

Get away from them or hide behind a wall? I try to blast them with explosives most of the time.

I was just thinking that about the kitchens but couldn't figure out a way to word it.

Why are kitchens so fucking popular?

>>3669701
It's Hell's Kitchen

>>3669701
I assume it's because they have a lot of square, recognizable appliances, that vaguely look like doom textures.

I mean, you can do square chairs and beds and such, but finding textures that don't look like dick with them is a bit trickier.

>>3669990
Is that so?
teach this retard how the fuck to make his first map and i'll show you something. I'm thinking of a Cyberdemon Manufacturing Plant with heavy use of scripts/textures to make it look like they're mass-producing cyberdemons and being built before your eyes.

>>3669989
that's the spirit!

>>3668789
A lot of people will say it's because they don't like Mark, others will say it's overrated(which I kind of agree too). But for me personally, I think it was just a disappointment. The trailer looked really cool, and made it seem like it was gonna be regular Brutal Doom, but without the retarded bullshit like voice acting, fatalities and ear rape. But then I actually played it and it was basically Doom 64 with a Ketchup patch. The new deaths are just slight variations of the regular death animations, the nightmare imps are a pain in the ass, and the sprite work for the revenant is laughable. The weapons are satisfying to use for the most part, but the BFG doing splash damage is just total bullshit. The map effects are really nice, but also rape my FPS into single digits at times. Over all, it's just Doom 64 but with a new coat of paint. And Doom 64 wasn't even as good as the other games to begin with, so I didn't even bother playing through it again but with more gore.

How am I supposed to play Thy Flesh Consumed?

Right off the bat the level design feels completely different from that of the base game, and all these enemies teleporting around are fucking my shit up.

>>3670053

>How am I supposed to play Thy Flesh Consumed?

naked

>>3670053
Yeah, Thy Flesh Consumed came out at 1995, after Doom II: Hell on Earth, two years after the first game. It definitely feels out of place and is overall is at a different pace. All I can really tell you is to keep trying and trying since it only gets harder.

Seriously, the Romero maps (E4M2: Perfect Hatred and E4M6: Against Thee Wickedly) are pretty challenging on a first blind playthrough.

E4M1: Hell Beneath is pretty short though, it's not as long or tedious as you think. Honestly when I did it, I couldn't believe how abruptly it ended.

>>3670023
It's on the bed. The sprite is just a little offset atm.

>>3669397

That game has aged like milk

>>3670053
play it after beating doom 2 desu

>>3670082
The gunplay is a bit stocky and mediocre but the level design and style I feel is quite good, I like the boss battles and story as well.

>>3669868
The two recent levels he made may not have been the prettiest, but they had very solid gameplay and layout design.

>>3669750
Why would you use a gameplay mod with cyberdreams? I thought the whole point of that wad was killing cyberdemons without using guns.

>>3670101
Because running it with Demonsteele makes it about trying to kill Devil Drivers with only a sword.

It's... a different experience, to say the least.

so, what wads you recommend to play for someone that plans to make a map in the near future?

>>3670043
That's a spooky revenant

>>3670129
have you made any maps before?
i assume you've run through most of the base game maps so i recommend watching videos of john romero playing through them and commenting on the design because i personally find it interesting and rather insightful
i've also taken inspiration from Going Down, BTSX Episode 1 and some of the maps from DUMP 3 (i followed some of the mappers on this board and even contributed a map of my own)

>>3670159

I have made maps for UT2004, here there is one:

How does DOOM midi music work? How do I ensure the music is as accurate as possible to how it was meant to be when playing?

hey guys im new to doommodding and im wondering if theres a sourceport that doesn't have the filename length limit for sprites?

barring that, what's the maximum number of sprites capable in a modern sourceport without resorting to super hackish development practices

>>3670169

You picked what kind of sound card your computer had, and then DOOM played the music using your sound card. Simple.

Most people of the time had Sound Blaster cards, so most source ports have support for OPL synth emulation to mimic the sound of such a card. If you want to hear the music as most people of the time would've heard it, go with that.

However, the music was composed with a Roland SC-55 midi synthesizer which has a very different sound to it, and I'd consider it superior and arguably the definitive version of the soundtrack.
There's no real emulation options for it, but there is a set of music packs that were made by recording a SC-55 playing the music that can be used with compatible source ports (e.g. G/ZDoom) that can be found at this dude's site: http://sc55.duke4.net/

>>3670163
looked decent

you should be fine

>>3670169

I have installed Virtual MIDI Synth (with MIDI Mapper in Win 10) with a 53 MB Roland SC-55 sound font

You can also configure ZDoom to use the sound font directly if you want to avoid having to install VirtualMIDISynth

I want the Gauntlets of the Necromancer in hexen, with range similar to the other melee weapons and no longer locking the camera on the enemy it's hitting. Give it a 1.5 normal damage with a small lifedrain and it's alternate fire will raise a corpse back to life to fight for you.

Bonus if you give the alt fire a unique ammo (a simple skull or green flame would be perfect for the sprite)

Any takers for this job? Not sure what it's worth but I'm open to suggestion.

I SUMMON THEE, LORD BENELLUS, ON THIS DOOM'S DAY!

THE RITUAL BEGINS

What an awesome community

Because Doom lacks crosses.

All we need now are gods of melee, energy, and rockets

>god of melee
Doomguy himself for obvious reasons.
>plasma
Some sort of Cyber-Cacodemon? BFGS?
>rockets
Something related to Revenant, but in Gentlemen style. Entirely made of rocket launchers.

So, we're making a whole DOOM pantheon are we? sounds like some rad D&D shit.

I'm not sure about Doomguy himself, he's his own entity. I picture the god of melee to have one arm replaced with a chainsaw, the other has baratus' gauntlet strapped to it, and his eyes would be made of fire.

Oh and he'd had have a big fucking sword strapped to his back.

But Doomguy took on hell with only his fists. And got into this whole mess by punching his superior officer to death.
