>>3716080
I think it's good ;_;

>>3716119
maybe I came off as dickish in that post but I don't think they're that bad. just that the grand majority of them aren't particularly enticing or memorable despite everybody using them back in the day

the chaingun sound is cool I guess. too bad about the gun itself being pretty bad

>>3716113
update gzdoom? downgrade gzdoom?

>>3716127
The problem with the chaingun in Doom 3 was that it wasn't different enough from the SMG.

It should have fired twice as fast and held twice as much ammo in one load. Gatling weapons should fire fast.

>>3716113

Use Zandro 3.0 or GZDoom.

>>3716080
None of the sounds, firing or reloading, were punchy enough which makes it unsatisfying to shoot things with, but I did enjoy how crisp and slick the pistol shot and plasma pew were. I also thought those guns' reload sounds were particularly delicious. The clatter of shells before reloading the shotgun and the sliding of them into the magazine had a similar quality I liked. None of those were adequate for Doom, but could be appreciated on their own, which I guess is why some people like to use them.
I actually had a problem with the pistol and shotgun ammo pickup sound. Too grating. Also, the gibbing sound was ridiculous. When it came to sound, Doom 3 had its strength in ambiance. Game like that though had no excuse to have poor environment sounds.

Doesn't everybody play new maps with a gameplay mod these days?

I make my new map to balance in vanilla doom, but I know in my heart everybody will start it with Brutal or Samsara or even just Smooth....not that I mind.

>>3716170
What's wrong with Smooth?

>>3716178
Nothing, I said I don't mind.

I'm just curious what people use. I suppose Brutal is the most common (but not on this forum).

>>3716170
>Doesn't everybody play new maps with a gameplay mod these days?

I make a point to go through every map I play for the first time with vanilla.

>>3716178

Hey.......wait.......yeah.

What the fuck?

All quake games actually.

>>3716236
I've heard the Quake explosion sound in several mods

>>3715982

1. Pistol sounds like a paintball gun, but reloading and pulling it out sounds sexy.

2. Shotgun sounds just plain suck, I found the shell loading sound obnoxious. Doesn't help that the gun sucks too.

3. SMG was just fine really, sounded a little weak, but it was weak so it fit. Had a neat reload and sound for it.

4. Chaingun sounded good, real good, and felt good. Needed a buff though. It shouldn't have been placed in a "power weapon" role.

5. Rocket Launcher was perfect. Could have used a buff but hey, it works.

6. Plasma firing sound sounded...eh, but the electrical sounds when reloading and such sounded neat.

7. Grenades were retarded.

8. BFG was perfect, but I preferred the original still.

9. Chainsaw was earrape, but fun.

10. Fists sounded like a dickslap.

My two cents.

Which is better
Doom Explorer or DoomSeeker?

Probably because nobody liked Quake 4. The sounds were fine, though...

>>3716296
I liked the Strogg rollercoaster.

>>3716301
That's literally everyone's favorite or even memorable Quake 4 moment.

>>3716296
Quake 4 was a better DooM game than Doom 3

>>3716303
When I played the demo it didn't support my video card properly so everything was green

>>3716301
Mr. Strogg's Wild Ride was pretty cool, yes. It was also basically a cutscene, and one that was shown at every single press event, and thus spoiled ten times over before the game had even hit shelves.

>>3716309
It wouldn't be exagerrated to say that Mr Strogg's Wild Ride is the only reason to play Quake 4.

>>3716310
I would add strogg waifus to list.

>>3716310

Don't forget empty bottles and boxes left from healing items.

>>3716439
That too.

What else would there be, shrapnel?
Would they also clean up gore decorations (like impaled and hanging bodies)?
Of course, some of them are wall textures so that complicates a few things.

>>3716451
Wall textures could be handled by the level designer (assuming this uses custom maps). For example, a hanging baron texture where using it changes the texture, plays a suitably gross sound and gives you a Dead, Fucked Up Baron Corpse to lug around (as a weapon?)

i fucking hate pinkys so much

>>3716454
>assuming this uses custom maps
I guess it would have to, because this would probably need a bunch of ACS. It would probably be easier to make it flow and work better.

That way I guess you could add things like deep pools of blood (as you typically see), but you need to bring in a large hose to drain the blood out.

>>3716456
bait teir hungry mouths to make them whiff

>>3716170
I think if you balance it for vanilla/pistol start you will still keep happy the people who use mods because its just not possible to balance for everything and people use mods knowing they fuck up balance for maps to some degree (which is what makes mods interesting in the first place).

I would say to just make the map you would want to play or otherwise you can collab with someone to make a new mod for your maps or add the content yourself. Look to something like Valiant for an example of "who gives a shit I will just add shit to suit my balance" type of creativity. If you don't really have a gimmick in mind who cares really.

You need to spice it up a bit, I've played doom since day 1 but even I got bored.

Hey, I recognize this map. Some anon posted a screenshot of it in an earlier thread and says he was working on it.

You did a great job with it, it's a fun and pretty map. Seems to hinge a little too much on arena fights but for my taste but the arenas do have good geometry and enemy placement. Getting some infighting going on is a lot of fun. The last segment was nicely balanced and challenging and bled my health and ammo dry, there's some good usage of shamblers and vores that makes the player exercise his shambler dance and voreball evasion skills.

>>3716694
>not having a crew of fellow doomfags to play with

>>3716728

Which is the main reason why I got into doom. It's more focused on singleplayer.

Are those textures from the expansion packs?

Fair enough, but even in single player shotgun frenzy is still one of the best imo.

Plenty of people play them with stock gameplay first, before going in with gameplay mods. Theres also plenty of people in the community who don't play gameplay mods at all (I'm one of them).

I just started working on it again. It's going pretty good now. I have hired an indian programmer to do some coding for me.

Use auto aim.

Did Doom ship with with left-right mouselook in 93 or did that come later?

>>3716976
prefer douk without auto-aim, but shadow warrior has such gross hitscan weapons and large amounts of tiny blazing fast monsters so go right ahead

Should I look into Wolf3D for ZDoom or ECWolf for the most faithful port?

>>3717005
Yes, it shipped with it.

>>3717005
It had mouse control from the earliest alpha build we have. Wolfenstein 3D had mouse control too, and the hint manual even suggested using mouse and keyboard together for the best results.

>>3716987
I thought they looked like they are from a Spyro game. And they are:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_oZEiEkT4w

>>3717005
Mouseturning was always available in vanilla (and even recommended in the original instruction manual), yes. The main reasons most people played keyboard only back in the day, was because it was the default control scheme, as not everyone owned or needed a mouse for ms-dos. And doom 95's mouse support was broken on most OSs.

>>3716824
>I heard they got rid of Carmack's shadow volumes to make way for some sort of soft shadowing but what excetly did they do?
no, the shadow volumes are still there, but the algorithm has been changed a little because the original turned out to be covered by a software patent. I wish they had ripped them out and replaced them with shadow maps like every other game uses, because then they wouldn't look like ridiculous hard-edged nonsense.

>>3717068
>Let's Play DOOM with Morgan Freeman

>>3717042
>then they wouldn't look like ridiculous hard-edged nonsense.

That's the technology aspect of the game. Carmack wanted to see if it was possible to make a game where there are no static light sources. There was also the other minor thing which was real-time Flash integration inside a 3d game engine. Since Doom3 is nothing special as a game, taking away its tech accomplishments would probably dip it below meh.

Doom4 is kinda TECH game as well, considering how ridiculously well it runs on pretty much anything and still it somehow displays arbitrary geometry real time reflections.

>>3717072
At least Morgan Freeman's voice is tolerable. If I want to listen to some teenagers whose balls haven't dropped yet, I can go outside.

>>3717075
But why is DOOM 4 so big? It can't be MEGATEXTURES now, can it?

>>3717079
Joel is in his early twenties.

>>3717081
>why is DOOM 4 so big?

I can't be sure about the contents of some of the game files, but there's a +40GB folder called "virtualtextures" in the game's directory. Localization audio files are also over 10GB. Megatextures are pretty optimized since they load reasonably well in real time, but audio files are probably completely uncompressed to save on performance.

>>3717096
I did notice the textures doing the Unreal thing where they are blurry and then get sharp real fast.

That said, I'm really happy how smooth the game runs on highest settings on my new PC.

>>3717081
>megatextures
I still don't understand what exactly the advantage was supposed to be. RAGE and Wolf TNO have atrocious texture work. Seriously fuck idtech5.

>>3717109
>I still don't understand what exactly the advantage was supposed to be.
pretty useful for say, canyons or other very big open areas that require a lot of texture detail

>>3717117
I appreciate that it pretty much eliminates tiling, but I don't find it's worth the hit to texture quality.

>>3717109
>I still don't understand what exactly the advantage was supposed to be.

Literally the first time I heard about Megatextures was when the level designers of Rage were talking about how it lets game artists focus entirely on the art aspect without having to worry about technical details. Basically they had a toolkit that would let you paint materials and surface properties directly onto geometry, and those details would be saved into an optimized format using Megatextures.

>>3717123
I don't know shit about how it works on a technical level, but it seems to me that using megatextures selectively and sparingly would be a good idea for such environments as previously mentioned.

Anyway: Detail Textures need to make a comeback because they're fucking sweet as shit

I want to fuck whoever made that thing

Trying to make some medical and cryogenic themed textures and flats. What do you think of these?

Is it dumb to not build these in higher resolution?

>>3717248

>>3717248
I would make them in high-resolution then downscale them for possible touch-up, so there's always the option of using them in their original size for a high definition project.

I think that one looks cool, but there's a bit too much going on at once and the concrete/steel texture doesn't really look like something there'd be a panel on. I would also masking out the area of the screen in the background layer and apply a bevel effect to create some shadows and highlights on the panel around the screen.

As a pixel artist I'd suggest looking at your original resolution stuff, and attempting to recreate the shapes manually with a pen tool. You'll get much more definition out of what kind of shapes you're attempting to represent in low resolution. You also end up controlling what small details show up at all, since based on which resampling algorithm you would use to shrink graphics, some things may get hidden altogether.

For example, details such as the diamond-pattern grip on this deagle would never show up as a consistent pattern if you were to simply shrink a rendering of the gun. Since it's handmade, every detail is where it's meant to be, not where it ends up being.

Has anybody ever done a conversion of the maps from Chex Quest with Doom textures and the equivalent monsters/weapons and all that?

It'd be kinda funny.

what are the odds

>>3716134

the problem with D3 weaps as others may have pointed out over the years is that each one uses its own ammo

whereas in retro doom you only have 4 ammo types and weapons share between them

also I find it hideous that the plasma rifle got nerfed so bad (xcept ammo, but thats no excuse)

in games like this I see some weapons as throwaway free ammo things and I go back to using what I really want - chaingun and plasma are like that, free damage and then go back to using the smg/rocket

but to not rant - chaingun Sound is really nice at least with the way it combines, the dull bang with the rotation noise makes it feel like a mecha's arm chaingun

Except for some Episode 3 maps I remember fondly, I havent played Vanilla maps in years.

Usually its a trip to Plutonia 2 or BTSX (and for P2 I usually warp right to Map 20 to amp everything up to the max).


>>3716462
I give the pistol 36 rounds instead of 50. Y'know, to encourage you to really go find that first shotgun. Or actually have to use your fist in desperation.

Yes the map balance is an issue for mods, ive got a Cyber that spits a giant bowser-level fireball out of his mouth and since thats at 86 pix height it means he can still attack sometimes despite being barred and gated away to look menacing.

> Also I put the Aracnorb Queen in as the Spider Mastermind, and guess what, that means it really gets up and boogies around not just staying in its little area.
> mfw PL2 Lingering Fear turns out to be an open area fire zone for the ArQ sitting at the end map teleporter, complete with its seeking bfg missiles.

I think an intelligent modder can take that into account and say - welp I remember the days of Nintendo Hard and difficulty could spike out of nowhere and they just didnt care.

So a modder can justify having some stuff that is a little bit unbalanced, for the fact that their weapon drops are random or monsters can do fucked up things.

Also gives a reason NOT to play Nightmare and just go with UV, since the difficulty can be programmed into the critters and other "problems" inherently.

>>3717619
Yeah, but it's not really a FPS, and it's difficult to use bombs because most enemies are eating your face.

>>3717625
Well, it is technically an FPS, just far different from the retro ones discussed here. Also, there was a perk you could take that made you crazy resistant to your own explosives, so using them in close combat was actually rather effective.

I will agree RE4 is damn impressive but it lacks true replayability (as I wish I could play it forever, but it does get old at some point). And also I think the weapon damage upgrades should have applied to the Ammo so that you had to keep trading up on them.

> sad tactic people probably never noticed, if you buy the mine thrower you've basically just bought 5 HE grenades to use on boss battles, and then you go sell it back to the arms dealer - but if you buy the Rocket you cant sell it back and the total damage is just shy of it.

I am a 'nader when it comes to multiplayer. Specifically in Q2 im a master of it.

Also the hand grenade is like a depth charge, broken compared to the RL because its even harder to dodge but being slower balances it.

> my other tactic being the rocket jump, that I do right in someone's face, yes you take the 110 but I only take the 50, might as well be a melee attack, and now im up in the air - Wheeee

Is it me or does the Bouncing behavior in Zdoom just not work all that well, stuff bounces on top of monsters too easily and (sometimes) blows up immediately even though its supposed to keep bouncing for abit...

I wanted to put a nade launcher in Zdoom but ended up settling on just an arcing RL altfire.

>>3717613
Both multiplayer mods but:

Team Fortress Classic (HL)
Weapons Factory (Q2)

The latter in particular had really weird and fun ones. The nurse class had plague grenades which infect anything in the blast radius with something that caused flies to buzz around them and random chunks of flesh shooting out of their bodies. Then there were the hovering railgun turret grenades, the engineers magnet grenade that pulled enemies toward it etc

>>3717630
But JC said : "Bombs are bad choice for close-ranged combat."

>>3717631
Yeah, variety of grenades. Chaos UT has poison grenades, explosive grenades, incendiary grenades. Some games have flash grenades, fragmentation grenades, leech grenades, plasma grenades, sticky grenades...

>>3717638

>>3717734
Monster Hunter ltd part 1. It and it's sequel are fucking amazing.

Anyway, the filtering effects I have simply smooth out wall and flat textures at far distances and high angles (like looking alongside a long wall). Something that can't be seen in screenshots is the lack of the grainy noise effect on far away textures in when moving around that you'll see with no filtering at all.

>>3717675
I don't play with it, but I do think it's kinda interesting to see what GZDoom's options can do.

It looks like really ugly claymation.

Post unpopular Doom opinions.

I think the SSG is overall a bad addition to Doom's weapon lineup. It removes a lot of the strategy that went in to selecting your weapons in Doom 1, since the SSG excels in all situations and you never run out of ammo for it.

>>3717812
>says to post unpopular opinion
>posts bullshit instead

>>3717812
that isnt an issue if you're playing pistol start like a nonbitch baby

>>3717812
I agree with this but I think it wouldn't be a problem if Doom 2 had any pacing instead of giving you the best weapon on the second level and dropping boss monsters really early on.

Personally I think Doom 2's new monsters were wasted on the levels. Their designs were far more interesting than anything in Doom 1 which has hitscan, basic projectiles and melee

>>3717814
Well.. the first part was an unpopular opinion..

>>3717819
Doom isn't balanced around starting with a pistol except ExM1 levels.

Doom 1 and 2 aren't*

>>3717841
>>3717837
The maps in Doom and Doom II were typically created so that the player could finish them from scratch. When Sandy Petersen was asked about the things he found disappointing in Doom, he said he felt the episodes were too easy because id designers did not properly take account the player's ability to carry ordnance from earlier levels. The gameplay testing was based mainly on pistol starts, separately for each level. According to Sandy Petersen, "Most people started levels with some kind of significant equipment. However, almost all our playtesting was done starting each level with just a pistol. We made the game too easy for the average player."[2]

You're wrong since in Doom 1 you only ever needed the Shotgun aside for bosses but they gave you plenty of rockets to deal with them

>>3717893
someone needed clicks

>>3717430
Do one for gameplay mods

>>3717812
Advantages of SSG being in the game:
-Tougher monsters without any feeling bullet-spongey.
-Encounters with higher monster counts before they start feeling tedious.
-High population encounters no longer need to be designed around use of the Rocket Launcher, Plasma or BFG in order to not feel bullshit.
-Strong enemies and large groups can be used in tighter spaces before the player progresses to Plasma or BFG due to a rocket-tier weapon without splash. Rocket having splash allows it to occupy its own space.
-Adds an extra step to progression that can be used in mapping, despite being introduced way too early in Doom 2 (along with the rocket launcher and damn near every other weapon).
-Probably a bunch of other things I haven't thought of.
Disadvantages of SSG being in the game:
-It changes weapon prioritization a little bit but not even that much since the niche filled by the regular Shotgun was almost identical.

>>3717837
>>3717841
>Doom isn't balanced around starting with a pistol except ExM1 levels.

Stop pulling shit out of your ass. Pistol Start balance in the iwads is already basically proven true by the fact that every map, including later ones, provides plenty of weapon pickups (hell, map30 basically starts with ALL of them in front of you). Then theres the fact that pressing use after dying typically pistol restarts the level (exception being if you're using (g)zdoom, as it instead loads a recent save).

>>3718020
the ssg screws with shell balance; the moment you pick it up, each shell goes from 70 average damage to 100 average damage, which means if a player takes too long to find an say or misses it entirely (like in a more open map), he could find himself running out of shells much more easily than the mapper expected

Just started playing Quake for the first time, noticed that switching weapons is instant, wondered if there was some way to mod or console command it so that, rather than switching weapons, weapons that share an ammo type could just use M2 to use their upgraded versions' fire? Would streamline things a bit.

>>3718101

>>3717675
I used to use it because I liked cell shading and the weird HQ filter looked kinda like it, but the grungey feel of unfiltered textures really can't be beaten. Especially since it's not a common thing to see any more. It really deserves to be considered its own art style, it really sells the grungey industrial atmosphere of Quake levels such as Rubicon Rumble and just sort of ceased to exist shortly after the end of the 90s.

>>3717773
I like that you can force a limited color palette in GZDoom now. I tried Unloved with the Doom palette and all features on except filtering and it looks really dark and creepy without adding any custom shaders. It does generate some unfortunate weirdness with the lighting, though. Forcing palettes could be used for some interesting visual effects in future mods.

Yahtzee also considered Quake as the progenitor of modern brown shooters (oh yeah, I'm sure the developers of games like Killswitch, Killzone, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Resistance and Gears of War all looked back several years and used the medieval fantasy sci-fi game Quake to use as an inspiration for their military shooter) and attributed its "repetitive" level design to Carmack somehow.

This is specifically what I agree with him on by the way.

ProcGen is just completely worthless for first person shooters, it conveys nothing of any author's personality.

>>3718273
I wouldn't say it's worthless for first person shooters as a whole, but it's not as worthwhile for sure.

A wad in doom can mean a completely different interaction between the player and the monsters, which is still part of the authors vision.

If anything should be used mainly as a bonus. Like "oh hey, finished the game? well have some infinite levels"

somewhere, /r/metroid rejoices now that they can update dreadnought with D4D codes

I just beat Quake for the first time on Hard. It was surprisingly short, simple and easy. The lack of enemy variety was kind of strange. Ogres might be my favourite fps enemy ever but by the end of the game they're phased out for vores and slimes which are both annoying. Are the official map-packs good? They came with the game. And why do some people seem to dislike Quake 2? Is it shit?

>>3718312
Armagon is good. Dissolution is not very good.
People dislike Quake 2 for a bunch of reasons, including the game not being like Quake 1 at all and it basically having the level variety of multiple brown military bases. Music's good though.

Also Quake 1 back in the day wasn't that well liked for it's single player, it was it's multiplayer all the way. QuakeWorld's netcode is the base for all of Valve's netcode after all.

>>3718318
Quake 2 just felt "softer" than Q1 for some reason... Not a bad game. Would probably be a lot more fun coop...

>>3718318
I did think that Quake was kind of lacking army type stuff with only 4 soldier levels that were easy as hell but a whole game of that would probably be dull.

>>3718328
Quake 2 was 'softer' in many ways. Machines at the time had filtering support, so the graphics were blurred and softened. Jumps became floatier, and animations became more elaborate, but also more elongated, so a lot of the hand/gun animations became less 'snappy' as a result. The bullets were now visible on the pistol, so it felt like you were popping enemies with pingpong balls and they felt inneffective because you could see them strike and dissipate a few times before the enemy died etc etc. I enjoyed it, but your criticism of it feeling soft I think is very justified.

>>3718282
I like that salty weiner.

>>3718318
>Quake 2
>brown
Quake 2 is not even close to as brown as the first game, they put colored lighting all over the game to show it off, meanwhile, the original Quake was VERY brown, VERY dark, and VERY murky (though I never objected much to this myself).

>>3718339

>Music's good though.
I quite liked quake 2 when it came out, largely because I was 9. The music was the one thing I really disliked though, major step backwards from Quake 1

Anyone else stuck on their Highway to Hell map?

I've got a nice idea of what I want to do, but after the new year I just can't...motivate myself to map.

>>3718351
Well changing from NIN's grungy atmospheric noise to electro rock was a pretty big change. Still, I like both soundtracks. My copy of Quake 2 back in the day didn't even have working music so I've only recently actually heard it.

>>3718353
I know what I want to do thematically, and in a few ways I know how I want to lay it out. It's the process that has me scratching my head. As always, I've got a really bitchin' looking entryway, and the question of how I'm going to start building the sectors so that everything comes out nice and manageable and the way I want it has me a bit stuck. It takes a lot of foresight to make nice layouts.

>>3718318
To add on to this anon: once you beat the two official map packs, go to Quaddicted and just start playing high rated maps/mods. There's still a pretty sizable community for making Q1 SP stuff, and while it has nowhere near the sheer quantity of Doom, it more than makes up for it in quality.

>>3718376
I would if I could map. At all. And not be autistic.

Highway to Hell question:
why dont we have each map force a pistol start so each mapper can place whatever the fuck they want in the level?

>>3718397
>And not be autistic.

You'd not be on 4chan in the first place, then.

>>3718407
that would entirely defeat the point of making it a more linear mapset.

the point of this is to drift away from dump, i believe.

>>3718407
Because one of the worst parts about the DUMPs were the maps that forced you to trek a mile with only the pistol.

Wait, are you one of the devs? Do you intend on doing some kinda complex spin off?

Bring back the plasma pistol for all characters, that gun is way better than the normal pistol

>>3718458
tried to install this mod and it doesnt work.
i uncompressed the contents of the zip file in "Quake/ad" as the readme says, but when i load quake i only see the vanilla start instead of the mod's start
tested in quakespasm and darkplaces.

>>3718495
Awful.

>>3718530
You seemed to have skipped some instructions in the readme

Load the source port with the parameter -game ad

>>3718529
No I'm just a guy that saw it on twitch.

Maybe I should have not used input. I was just seeing if it would be a waste of time to give it a run through.

>>3718547
oh thanks, the readme said "The above command line is only needed if engine runs really slow" so i thought none of it was neccessary.

There ever been a /rfps/ Hideous Destructor co-op campaign? Perhaps a series of maps from Oblige, consisting of squads trying to take each map. We'd need a small platoon of dudes for this operation; wanna hear some thoughts about how we could organize a "persistent" campaign..
>create squads from a point pool that applies to all squads, with the classes costing varying points for balance
>organized series of Oblige maps by a non-playing Campaign Manager
>some sort of perma-death, unless other squads win to pick up slack--victory returns points to the pool for the platoon
>soldiers can come and go as (hopefully) we slide in and out of squads, or playing the campaign out right
>success can also yield Intel about future operations, bringing back wounded/killed, more campaign points, permanent class (for you, or others) upgrades for soldier's valor/kills/sacrifice/victory
Idk mang. Always pondered this. What do you think?
pls respond, over

as a /fit/ guy I can assure you this is useless if you are a fucking retard

>>3718716
So THAT'S why he's constantly so pissed off. The demon probably cockblocked him as he was exploring the UAC's network for porn.

>>3718716

>>3718749
Woosh!

is there any theme that has not been explored in quake?

is for my qump map

>>3718787
Old Egyptian.
Old Chinese.
Haunted House.
Abandoned Asylum.

>>3718787
Colours that aren't brown or blue.

Is this why /v/ has an eternal boner for Doomguy? Because ONE OF US

>>3718691
:__: tfw late night drama screencaps are (You)'d more

>>3717865
Are you going abstract (like doom) or some variant of a visor overlay?
Also, what is the theme and mood for your game?

>>3718787
Circus/Carnival
Japanese high school
San Francisco Bay Area
Honky-tonk

>Highway to Hell
Term is the organizer right?

>>3718832
yes

So earlier, an Anon explained that headshots are actually not really interesting. Care to elaborate?

>>3718716

It all makes sense now

>>3717528
it's great, play it.

>>3718824
>>3718793
>Old Chinese
>Abandoned Asylum
>Japanese high school
Have these themes been explored in doom?

>>3718960
I don't remember any. But I haven't played a lot of Doom either, and a lot of "atmospheric" maps are boring. Like the Circus one.

>>3718716
>Implying he isn't a sadist who gets off on all the violence

Who needs women when there are demons to kill

Chainsaw is intimacy right?

>>3718716
As stupiud as it sounds, he's right to stop all that crap before some feminist decides that Doomguy is just sexually frustrated.
I remember reading a critic of the book Wheel of Time where the reviewer decided that the author had a problem with women because a lot of them get spanked in the book.

>>3718980
Well you're sticking something in a demon, so technically yes?

>>3718716
doomguy is pure.

>>3718716

The only time where he almost had some was with crash back in the arena, and samus

but destiny loves to fuck them

Great communicator, tearing and eating through gaping, quivering holes.

Doomguy confirmed best girl! Duke a slut (but I love sluts)!

>>3716507
By yourself? I wish I could find people to play Sven co-op with.

Yesterday I made a thread about a shooter design idea that would implement reloading without actually interrupting the gameplay. Do you think that a shooter would benefit from for example having a pump shotgun where the character inserts a shell instead of cocking the gun when the tube is empty? Inserting the shell would be just as quick as cocking the gun, and when there is no shooting, the character fully reloads the tube? I thought it would be a nice addition to a game like Doom or Duke Nukem. It wouldn't impact the gameplay. Nobody liked the idea in the thread yesterday.

>>3719163
Isn't the exactly how duke nukem works?

>>3719163
you see ivan
when you reload
you don't cock
so that you reload when reloading
and you're never out of bullet

Realistically speaking, would it be possible to kill a pinky with just a bow and arrows?

>>3719176
Hideous Destructor has a separate game in it that only works when loading up Heretic, which gives you a bow, among other weapons, so probably, yes.

>>3719163
>character inserts a shell instead of cocking the gun when the tube is empty? Inserting the shell would be just as quick as cocking the gun, and when there is no shooting, the character fully reloads the tube?

>>3719179
I mean reallistically speaking. A pinky demon is probably 100-150 kgs heavy, and most of that is muscle, so can it bleed to death if you hurt it?

>>3719187
I don't think you'd be able to fill it with enough arrows before it charges for you wanting your blood.

>>3719191
Makes sense.

>>3719182
It doesn't have to be a regular shotgun. When out of ammo it could feed the first round straight into the chamber and the rest into the tube.

>>3719170
DN3D has a pistol with 16 rounds in the magazine and you have no manual reloading. Duke just reloads when the mag is empty and there's a pause during which you can't fire. The shotgun just has an infinite tube and ammo finds its way in there as Duke comes across it. My idea for uninterrupted pistol fire would be to have dual pistols, then fire the right gun until it's empty and then fire the left one while reloading the right one, then vice versa.

>>3719201
>DN3D has a pistol with 16 rounds

12

>>3719203
You're right.

>>3718192
i enjoy both (especially on quality maps)
just watch the tech gone bad commentary after playing it, it's a good example

but i do really love to play oblige levels with some gameplay mods, some of them (like DRLA) make the guns/loot feel more important than the levels themselves, at some point blazing trough levels is more of a pretext than anything (especially in coop)

>>3719215
Well playing Oblige megawads with DoomRLA makes pretty good sense.

>>3718716
carmack is literally /our guy/

I don't know what those guys at facepunch are up to, but it sure looks neato.

I didn't know nor care that this was a discussion being had.

>>3718940
>Nothing was the same after that day

Is that implying this is the transformation/origin story of doomguy?

>>3716979
I like Demons from Adrians Pen The most.

Also Getting into Death and Black Metal again while playing Doom, I find this particular riff from Blut Aus Nord to be my unoffical theme song for Doomguy: https://youtu.be/3OHwuBdaOCY?t=8m20s

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

good morning /doom/

What kind of cro-magnon did PC Gamer unearthed to post in their website?

>>3719163
I love this render, gun looks brutal as hell, wasn't it made by some anon from here?

>>3719163
yo what kind of gun is that

>>3719439
A desert eagle with a recoil-worsening muzzle break

>>3719439
deagle brand deagle

>>3719450
>>3719448
I thought that, but that's a 16 round mag.

Is it a .50?

>>3719459
40mm caseless

>>3719461
That's a big gun.

>>3719462

I'm either not applying the normal textures correctly since not only are normal textures odd in Doom 3 they're also inverted in Source and who knows how much of it was corrected in the porting process or it's just too detailed.

Just really not good at all.

>>3717893
I hope he doesn't playing Doom as slow as he report news

>>3719473
refer to this anon
http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Technical_Details#Common_Swizzle_Coordinates
to edit normal direction, open up your image in photoshop and invert channel that is wrong.

>>3719459
The receiver is also welded shut for some reason so you can't even load it anyway

>>3719067
No obviously with other people. So far I've come across 2 /v/ servers, but they're usually dead so I play on that one US server that constantly has 12+ people and an XP mod. There's really only one like this so it's not hard to find. It's in the server list but here it is anyway:

>>3719483
You can also use a Hue adjustment layer to change the direction of the shadow

What is the best way to remove the cyan color from an image? I think this is an issue because I use PNGs as my sprites.

I've found a bunch of old sprite sheets that use this background and it'd be great if there was a quick way to remove this color.

I have photoshop and paint.net but I can't find a clean, quick way to do this.

what am I doing wrong?

>>3719509
if gimp (maybe photoshop), add alpha channel (right click on layer, it's in there)

use the color select tool, put threshold down to 0, select cyan, hit delete

wammo blammo

can we talk about the new doom here

not that i would because it doesn't run on my computer

>>3719542
I like it. I plan to reinstall it once I have a bigger disk, and replay it in a higher difficulty to make the most out of the glory kills mechanism.
I noticed it gives you more health if you're low.

>>3719542
I just wish the fights went on for longer with more monsters (not necessarily at the same time)

>>3719542
the hype of it died with the shit mapmaker & centered weapons

>>3719554
>shit mapmaker
literally what

>>3719560
A snapmap thing. Think of Timesplitters 2's ultra simple map creator.
