Unfortunately it's a bit old, and the graphics had their palettes kinda fucked. Plus it has some really unbalanced replacements, turning every Imp into a Pig Cop basically breaks most maps that throw you against them with a pistol start in mind.

>>3945871
Interception.

It's a pretty alright megawad, detailing is a bit bland at places though, and the first third is kind of boring.

>>3945949
I'll check it out thanks.

I hope torridgristle's RetroShader is still being worked on, it doesn't work with GZDoom 2.4.0.

So, Kinsie, how's MetaDoom V4?

Is it possible to uncap the framerate in quakespasm at all? It's stuck at 70.

What happened to that guy making Bloodborne Doom? Really intrigued to see what he's got.

>>3946048
You mean the Hexen Souls guy?

>>3946062
No, a few days ago someone said they were working on a bloodborne mod.

>>/vr/thread/S3934473#p3937503

haven't heard anything since.

>>3946074
Right. Hope something cool comes out of it, then.

>>3945765

I use Dark places. Something I'm doing wrong?

>>3946085
It's a matter of taste. Quakespasm is closer to vanilla and Darkplaces is really flashy if you want all that stuff.

>>3946085
you are, especially if you are one of those people who complain about lack of compatibly when he maps readme specifically calls for a different sourceport to be used

First weapon I try to make.
I know it's far from perfect but what do you think? Also any suggestions for drawing better appreciated.

Don't give up though dude, it's a flat shotgun but you can fix this.

>>3946281
With how popular melee combat is these days you'd think something similar to this would be made.

Actually Berserk sucks because despite the damage (which only amounts to half a rocket basically) it means you've got to get in claw range of most monsters and they'll probably make you swallow a fireball as you're closing in too.

Good way to lose the 100 health the berserk pack gave you. I would consider it a debuff if it made you switch to fist and didnt give you berserk powers.

>>3946528
there's only 3 monsters the berserk is ideal for taking out:
Pinkies (generally cant fight back against this)
Cacodemons (as easy as using an SSG but possibly faster)
Pain Elementals (cant fight back)

id say zombies but really a chaingun is best for them (and chaingunners give you replacement ammo)

>>3946296

make it a Vibro-Bayonet (like the predator disc effect) or Force Blade Bayonet and you got yerself a deal

>>3946541
Hell nobles are high up there on punchable. Also punching shotgunners is a really stupid idea. hitting cacos, that have one of the fastest attack animations in the game, isn't very good either.

>>3946528
>>3946541
It's not so hard to punch imps without getting hit, honestly. You just need good timing to know when to strafe and get a few steps away to avoid getting slashed. And it's much easier if you have enough space to circle strafe, so you only have to worry about the second thing.
Once you master that, you might also try berserk punching hellknights and barons if you have enough time and patience.

Who wants to host a Return of the Triad deathmatch server?

>>3946237
never read jojo. but tusk seems like a cool ability

using berserk effectively, you just gotta make sure you know the pro strats of FPS melee combat
> move in
> click right before in range
> back off immediately when the hit lands

>>3946085
>>3946093
I use quakespasm and ironically ive got to say I prefer it over darkplaces because the texture filtering is "okay" by my standards since I NEVER got to see the proper filtering on the original game.

I never played the original when it came out, I got quake 2 instead a couple years after #3 came out. Snagged quake 1 through an ftp back in probably 2003.

So my old fond memories of quake 1 and 2 were always software mode, I never had good gfx cards to keep up. And OpenGL sucks because you couldn't change the brightness and it was always really dark.

So Quakespasm apparently renders quake with the texture filtering it was designed for on the ideal video cards of the time (voodoo?), that special mode you wouldn't get unless you had the right video card.

What they do with such abysmally low resolution textures is mind boggling, the (bloody?/rusty?) greebled bluish metal wall textures on the military bases are where it stands out the most.

Otherwise the only way you're going to improve quake 1 is with higher resolution and better designed creature models, and first person gun models (along with actual changes to their animations).

The super nailgun and its animation, as well as all gun muzzle flashes (which should be sprites) is a real dealbreaker for me. I hate using that weapon, I only use it to nail shamblers pretty much.

>>3946594
if you want to get blasted yeah that's a good strat

If you want to not get damaged in any way, you have to stay untill they punch/claw. If you back up before it registers that they need to melee you then you're getting a revanant or imp fireball in the face.

>>3946559
>>3946561
nobles have some of the lowest painchances in the game, you can punch them but it takes patience, every hit is like a football play all to itself - yeah if you're screwed on ammo or this is what the map gives you then you have to take it, but still id rather only half kill them and then plug them with 20 rounds from the pistol to finish the job

even memento mori gives you an SSG in that one little hallway where you're trapped with the baron

imps hit you because there's hardly ever just one of them (unlike doom3)

>>3946594
too much work to focus on that

its much more satisfying to apply that effort to getting a BFG shot --juuust right--

>>3946609
Not that anon but that's only for revenants, though. Imps will still throw fireballs if you back off when they "need to melee you", so waiting for that is not necesary.

scythe 2 or plutonia 2?

>>3946592
having an LED on your finger?

>>3946609
even I know you dont back off

A_Facetarget only occurs at the beginning of their strike animation, if you punch them, wait for the attack to start - now you can sidestep them and not only will the claw miss the fireball probably will too.

The problem is with multiple enemies, you're very likely to dodge into someone else's shit.

(oh dang this gives me an idea... mancubus that occasionally shit out giant hellish turds that give off heat or radiation - but it only damages the Player (repeating explosion radius, given a damage type that only hurts player). They could be land mines that explode, or just something that sits there and hurts you like an acid pool does)

hello all, I drew a caco last night, his name is Johnson and he is very unfortunately off model, please pray for him

>>3946632
he aint half bad

>Half way through BTSX using FinalDoomer after that conversation last thread got me to pick it up
>find out that the next update will include weapon sets for other popular megawads including BTSX.
I wish I knew this before, going through half the game again so soon will be a pain. As cool as BTSX is some of the encounters are annoying as shit. And hopefully the guns will be a little more balanced now. The shotgun is about the same as the original but that chaingun is far too powerful

>>3946632
Wouldn't praying for a demon cause bad things to happen to it?
Like burning or a visit from Doomguy?

>>3946632
I want to pat him.

Where's Kinsie?

>>3946659

Considering he's Australian, he's probably fucking asleep.

>>3946670
I thought he was british

>>3946641
thas the pooint.
I guess I could drop it down a peg or two, but the chaingun is meant to be more powerful per shot than all the other classes.

also BTSX weaponset is probably gonna be OP as all hell, it's ridiculous.

BALANCE IS HARD

>>3946029
is you change it it'll fuck up the physics apparently

>>3946674
i would've guessed the ancient aliums weapons would be OP tier

>>3946732
Heh. The AA lower tier weapons tend to be average or slightly weaker, the higher tier ones are really amazing, so I guess it kinda balances out.

AA has the most powerful rocket launcher of all the weapon sets, BTSX has the most powerful SSG, BFG and probably plasma rifle, but not sure.

>>3946749
The only low tier weapon that matters is Super Shotgun

BTSX confirmed for top tier Final Doomer class with TNT being Why the fuck was this made tier

>>3946761
bitch i will cut u
burst shotgun stronk

But yeah, the BTSX SSG is far and away stronger than anyother, about double the damage?
The downside is that it's basically a melee weapon.
It's not much of a downside, heh.

The ammo consumption is normal right now, but will likely go up to four or three per shot for obvious reasons.

>>3946749
Overpowered or not I'm looking forward to this, any idea on when the update will be released?

Honestly, I never found final doomer to be that overpowered. If anything the guns seem to range between slightly weaker and slightly stronger than their vanilla counterparts. Nothing feels cheap or too strong.

>>3946220
How's this attempt?

>>3946784
Better, but the big question is lack of perspective. The entire thing seems thin and doesn't really widen as it comes closer to the view.

>>3946254
>Panty and Stocking megawad where you fight Scanty and Kneesocks

>>3946784
Better, but the wood is still a little flat.

>>3946784
This part seems to make the thing look really flat. It's good that you're working to improve it.

>>3946778
Not sure, we should have a clear run to get the last remaining weaponset done, thanks to Shivers being a frisbee who got all his uni work done in a few days.

AA is more or less done, BTSX is 99% done, JPCP only has a hud so far.

>>3946778
This. I prefer FD to Smoothdoom at the moment because it makes Doomguy's guns satisfying to fire. Plus it actually works with Ketchup.

New version of this when?

how do i kill tom hall

i tried firing every missile weapon in the arena at him and he didn't seem to take damage from anything

there's an exit door but it's blocked by a pillar and i can't find any way to move it

please advise

>>3946789
>>3946791
>>3946793
How's this solution?

>>3946845
Not any of them but it looks much better your in the right direction

>>3946842
You let him shoot at you for a long time until he "runs out of steam" and then runs away. It really is that simple. Let him act like a nasty demigod showing off and drain his energy.

Everything you shoot him with makes him stronger, and as you've noticed he spits it back out at you in his own way. The key to surviving him is those asbestos armors, and also running and re-healing if he tries to vampire you.

I didnt beat the game my first go around because of that (aside from cheating). Years later I found out this trick and won.

Also in the final level (it has a bunch of lava walls) you're going to have to get the red key and fly into the back area if you want to get the good ending. There's a hidden hall of those embryo things in the back, and dont forget to really cover the first two areas good as well. I think the red key is hidden behind a secret lava pushwall (yeah, you gotta push, on the lava wall).

>>3946858
In the final level if you cant keep the pegasus boots long enough to get in the back, you can use an asbestos armor and rocket jump on top of the ledge to get in the back door.

You may need to search around for the keys, im not sure but there may be two, you'll have to check. If there are, they will be in the first section with the lava chambers.

Why is Quake GL is the best GL of all times?

>>3946869
But QSpasm is GLQuake with the shitty bugs fixed.

>>3946845
Needs to be more angled IMO - take a look at Duke 3D shotgun for example


>>3946869
I meant Quake's Grenade Launcher duh.

>>3946603
>So Quakespasm apparently renders quake with the texture filtering it was designed for on the ideal video cards of the time (voodoo?), that special mode you wouldn't get unless you had the right video card.
You can change the filtering mode. gl_texturemode gl_nearest if you want only crunchy pixels and gl_nearest_mipmap_linear if you want them to blur a bit at a distance like how software mode did it.

You're right that Q1 has fantastic art design for being such a cobbled-together mess of ideas.

>The super nailgun and its animation, as well as all gun muzzle flashes (which should be sprites) is a real dealbreaker for me. I hate using that weapon, I only use it to nail shamblers pretty much.
you have shit taste here though like what the fuck, your post was going so well and now you type this shit?

>>3946875
Any of the Romero-designed levels, probably, given that he had the explicit rule about "if your level looks like it could be made in Wolf3D, scrap it and start over."

I dunno why but the fact this guy's getting help and that he's new to doom modding and possibly foreign (Im assuming that at least, his grammar seems to be a little off, not to throw shit) kinda gives me a warm feeling, as cheesy as that prolly sounds.

>>3946845
THICKER

>>3946845
gun looks pretty fine, but angle is really off.

try to aim in front of you!

>>3946875
Probably and E4 map, or an early D2 map. Something with a lot of height variations and decent texture usage.

>>3946845
Try making the wood wall from the barrel thicker. You can see from where it joins the metal body that the wall is paper-thin, if you make that line thicker it should look better.

Question: is there a Quake 1 mod that makes/made you think that it could've been Quake 2 had ID stuck with the original idea of Lovecraft shit, among other things?

>>3946901

>>3946874
firstly the SNG projectile doesnt display 2 nails vertically on top of each other, its just one different colored one

second - the cycling animation is too short for the gun, it needs at least 4 frames in my opinion and it only has 2.

third - using 3d models to draw special effects like explosions (hello quake2) or muzzle flashes IS shit taste, I would've thought they'd know better that. You dont use 3d models for things that demand exquisite detail (otherwise textures would be models - though this is coming closer to reality, check out "Euclideon infinite geometry")

at least quake 1 had a sprite explosion that worked perfectly, quake 2's demo version explosion looked okay enough but then they put that awful 3d model in for the explosion (awful because being 3d you can see ALL of the drab imperfections and lack of detail in it, it would have had to be 5 times the polys and double the number or resolution of textures to pull off what they were trying to achieve)

quake2 didnt even have muzzle flashes on their guns, but from the alpha content I can see they tried and failed so they just popped a bullet puff on the end of the gun

But I do like Q1 and Q2 each in their own ways for different reasons - those big huge maps in 2 with hubs, especially in some of the expansions. And I loved how 1 recreated much of the sense of trap-danger that doom had, and also a sense of desperation as some encounters could not be confronted easily head on (tough and hard to counter enemies, swarming in, you just have to run - and you cant just pop a QD whenever you want to like in Q2)


>>3946893
Because the grenade launcher was a powerful weapon but it also took skill to use, and at the same time felt like a run of the mill weapon considering that most enemies took several shots to kill with it - its like a perfect mean

>>3946915
>>3946874

And in defense of model based special effects I will condone sprite planes...

Those are where you combine several sprites displayed as 3d planes, arranged like a paper model so that they construct the appearance of a phenomena when you're really just looking at several sprites overlapping each other.

Halo's muzzle flashes for their minigun were excellent.

UT2004 tried to copy the same technique and dismally failed since they didnt take into account that if many of the sprites have alot of alpha (or are just being used additive) then you're actually going to see the parts where each one intersects.

And also thats where you get into some problems like Zdoom and Edge originally had with displaying projectiles with translucency which had white-hot centers. It takes that bright center and just makes it look like mud. Which is what happened with the pulse rifle blasts in ut2k4. And alot of those sparks where you could see its made up of pieces similar to a Starfruit.

>>3946914
Arcane Dimensions has a few maps like that.

>>3946281
But why do you want a mod of an dinosaur chubbs skin?

Maybe he just wants the THICC

As we all know Quake in OpenGL looks like hot garbage and even with mipmaps disabled UI is still smeared in vaseline and particle effects look like ugly blobs.

So what you should actually play are software ports that support widescreen resolutions.
Pick any of these and enjoy:

gl_texturemode gl_nearest

>>3946623
Plutonia 2, if only because Gusta is my favorite 00's mapper.

Scythe 2 is good, but its not until the second half that it truly shines, IMO.

Crucial Error, more like Pootial Error, 'cause it's shit to look at and shit to play.

Terror Fuma is literally a better Cruical in every way. Better level design, MUCH more interesting visuals, and an enemy roster beyond four types of Grunts and the rocket frisbees.

>>3946987
what's that game on top? it look like it could be fun for 5 min

>>3946974
what the hell did those "G" switches do anyway?

Right about the time I got back into playing Q1 with 'spasm

DOPA comes out.

And I get my ass kicked bretty good, happily, as I was glad that they used alot of lesser enemies and scenery to fuck up my world rather than just spamming shamblers.

not sure about these other expansions, never really heard of them (where get? which keys to bind?)

Small demo of this map. Demo ends when the first Skull Orb is inserted; this is as far as I've gotten in development. Only RED and BLACK lighting+desaturation is used for this map; with the exception of the starting area as that's not in the same realm as the castle.

Give her a whirl. Stealth monsters will not be removed; but the enemy roster is only imps, demons, and barons/knights for the most part, and they're not likely to be very common

It's based off of this room in my other map

>>3947032
DOPA isn't actually that great, too many samey levels (player starts in hub with choice of two paths, complete one, complete the other, finish level, with lots of small hallways and by-the-numbers enemy encounters).

>not sure about these other expansions, never really heard of them (where get?
There's two official expansions and a ton of unofficial ones. The first official one by Hipnotic/Ritual is Scourge of Armagon, which is actually pretty good and adds some new weapons, a bunch of new enemies, and neat new map entities (Rotating brushes!). The second one by Rogue, Dissolution of Eternity, is significantly less good with less interesting level design, half-assed new weapons, and a love of fucking the player up with traps and spawning monsters galore the instant they think they're having fun. Pirate them, they aren't huge and downloads can be found easily.

For community stuff, go here:
https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/
and sort by 4/5 star reviews or high to low user ratings, then go nuts. Lots of them aren't just individual maps but full-on expansions with new monsters, entities and more, and often require you to manually install them into your \quake folder and launch with the -game "directory" command. You could try using the Quake Injector add-on but I've never used it, it doesn't always install things right and Quake mods are exceedingly simple to install especially if you have prior experience with any of Valve's games on GoldSrc or Source.

The mod we were talking about in this thread is Arcane Dimensions, a recent Q1 mod with a number of maps by high-profile mappers who have been making them for years or longer, which includes multiple new weapons, tons of new enemies (some borrowed from the Quoth modder's resource), breakable objects, xbox hueg maps, and so on. Well worth playing even if it ruins other maps for you forever.

my friend asked me for spriting ideas and I tasked her with making a 2016 doomguy - should she keep at it?

>>3947128
It's part of the mod. The normal axe has a different, more detailed and medieval looking model, and most maps have an upgraded variant you can find that deals almost double damage and can gib enemy corpses, including zombies to prevent them from getting back up without using explosive weapons.

>>3947132

Surely keep her motivated to finish it then because there's people in ZDoom Forums (pretty sure in Zandronum too) wanting player sprites of Doomslayer.

I could make sprites of him from the model in Blender as i did with Hellknight and Baron of Hell, though those are not paletted and looks like more of Doom 64 sprites than original Doom.

>>3945765

>>3947147
i can't believe ranger is fucking dead

Even the Ranger (and therefor player) model in AD is an updated, higher resolution and less boxy version compared to the id original, though. Not sure if that's a new thing or if it was there before 1.5- pre-1.5 AD had a number of updated third person weapon models, 1.5 added the rest and updated a few enemies as well like the new Shambler model.

it's more fun to think one of those is probably the guy he's mocking

if your pistol has infinite ammo and less damage than your gun that does use ammo, it hardly sees use apart from extremely dire situations where you're probably going to die anyway
if it does more damage, then what the fuck is the point of the gun that uses ammo?

how about
it has a recharging energy
but still works when empty
but does more damage than the ammo using gun when above a certain charge
and less when below
bam, boom, done
whip it out occasionally to up your dps, then put it away when it starts doing less damage

>>3947445
infinite ammo is okay to do but only in parcels... like you've got 5 mags worth and when they run out they're out

however whenever the weapon is NOT selected ammo regenerates - best way ive thought to do this in traditional fps is to make almost any item you pick up (including other ammo pickups) give you more ammo for it.

if one could make a global time counter (script?) then you could just have it give the player another reload for the pistol every once in awhile.

Then again there's also a "reload for reload" tactic where, maybe altfire does it, you reach into an ammo bag and pull out some more magazines for the pistol (but it takes time). Then you've got additional magazines.

Also it could be like the rise/triad pistol in terms of speed - but in 45 caliber with an 8 round magazine thats a tad bit slow to reload. Depends on how arcane you want to go with it, since it could be a Mauser C96 and the slow reload is due to fitting a stripper clip on it. Which would give it a tactic of basically hosing something down with 10 shots, then run/hide to reload, dump another 10, rinse and repeat.
>>3947135
>>3947059
Picked up arcane dimensions. Fairly impressed but its really dogging on my system and im looking for things to turn off to speed it up. This isnt too much of an issue in most maps but some of them are going like 6fps and they usually involve skulls so im not beating those maps.

>DOPA isn't actually that great, too many samey levels (player starts in hub with choice of two paths, complete one, complete the other, finish level, with lots of small hallways and by-the-numbers enemy encounters).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that. I find it ridiculous how some people think that it could have been the fifth episode and that it fits right in with the vanilla maps. "1996 style secrets, gameplay, design and layouts" one guy says. They seem to confuse DOPA's simplicity for vanilla Quake's simplicity, when the latter isn't actually simple at all and is filled to the brim with creative and complex layouts involving lots of interconnecting rooms and encounter variety that rivals or even surpasses modern maps'. A short 5-15 minute map like E2M2 for example has more encounter variety and accomplishes more with vanilla's limited monster roster than the terrible 45+ minute slog that is ad_lavatomb.

>>3947492

Don't take this the wrong way, but what kind of potato are you playing on? Did you add the additional command line options like the Readme told you to if it runs slow?

>I played through the E1M1 doom mission clone (hangar 16?) and it just sent me back to the map hub... do all the maps do that?
Yes, none of the AD maps are interconnected so upon completion they all send you back to the main hub (or the secondary hub if you're playing the 1.5 maps).

>>3947495

It's a little something I've been experimenting with in order to learn ZScript.
I should be converting my main project to ZScript but doing that would guarantee an explosion, so I started something smaller in order to familiarize myself with it.
It's almost done, weapon-wise, I just have to implement an alt-fire for the plasma rifle replacement and do the BFG.

>>3947492

>>3947129
the missing link is rise of the triad

however aside from some minor restructuring I see no reason why doom needed to be 3d vector mapped

based on current expertise, I probably could have designed a game that played very similar and was just about as dynamic, and moreso in many ways, than doom was... using a tile based map engine similar to rise

It would likely have involved some 45 degree angled tiles (a tile which blocks movement and displays wall texture across half of its diagonal length).

Multiple Tiles could be placed in the same tile (up to some arbitrary engine limit like 8 of them) so you could have overhangs and vertical geometry.

And the way you'd make absolutely huge levels without vector geometry - get this - you could define sector-like coordinates that did not have tiles but were just "fill" with some ground texture. Basically combining vector and tile, but it would still be restricted to square coordinate system.

I suppose also it could be used as a macro way of saying "fill all these tiles with this diagonal tile with this texture" so it would lay down all of those without them even having to be defined/stored in the map itself.

Some serious painting/paint bucket potential there with that.

Only thing it would be difficult to do would be putting a giant pentagram on the ground. But that could be achieved with a different kind of scripting linking objects and then drawing the lines on the ground.

And it would be able to have rising/lowering floors, due to multiple tiles in the same space it might even be able to have "chunks" of rock that move up and down. And likewise moving walls too like rise/triad.

Going at the fps game design from a tile based perspective is a really effective way actually

> also consider the way vanilla Xcom handled tiles where walls were just another object within a tile, being that the potential is there even for destructible scenery, but also very dynamic in terms of how you can lay out a floorplan.

>>3947496
If he's using the latest Quakespasm (0.92.1) he shouldn't need to use the additional parameters for increasing the engine limits; the default engine limits were raised to meet/pass AD in QS 0.91.

It doesn't really look like the shotgun is being pumped? just waving it around awkwardly (look at the tip of the barrel's weird movement). the "reloading" animation uses the same sprite as well so that's confusing.

>>3947487
you know what i hate?
a_recoil, unless it accounts for pitch
then it gets super fun

>>3947517
im noticing the slowdowns generally go away when I look down, so im thinking it has to do either with complex level geometry or skyboxes, because these arent yer average wierd scrolling skies

any way I can turn off colored dynamic lights?

>this game was developed when
yes but its Quakespasm not Quake

>>3947510
Somebody get a repeating gif of the sudden gyrating of the shotgun

>>3947505
This is not how paragraphs work

>>3947529

I use a_pitch to simulate recoil but I rarely use a_recoil for actual weapon recoil.

Usually give recoil a negative value to make monsters fling themselves at you a little when they attack. I also gave it under limited conditions to pain elementals so that at random they just jet along real quick and get annoyingly hard to hit at a distance.

>>3947535
im writing diagraphs not paragraphs

>>3947530
Quakespasm is directly derived from Fitzquake which comes from the glquake source code released by id themselves, it's still old as shit under the hood even if it supports transparent textures and 6-sided skyboxes. The skyboxes are just six textures in a big cube, they shouldn't be doing anything- it sounds like either a light or visibility issue.

It's a lever-action shotgun, so it's not so much being pumped in the normal way, but rather having that lever cranked forward and then pulled back.
So rather than the back-forth motion with the barrel hand, I tried to go forward and then back with the trigger hand.

>>3947529

Yeah, there's a cvar for disabling A_Recoil as well.

>>3947546
its already at 512x384

>>3946845
It looks like the gun is pointing at the crosshair on your monitor (very meta) instead of facing forward in the world.

Basically a perspective issue, you need to ditch the perspective entirely and start over

>>3947561

Oh, neat! I can see what you were trying to do with the trigger hand, but the barrel tip's kinda just warping everywhere, dunno if you need remade sprites for it or if you'll work something out.

Yeah, I'll definitely need remade sprites down the line, so far everything is a placeholder. So there's mismatched hands and questionable sprites all around.
I generally try to focus on doing the codestuff and features first and worry about graphics afterwards, but since most of the weapons are done now I should probably do something about that.

>>3945927
>>3947545
>>3947598
im gonna guess that it does a specific damage type, and all enemies have a special painstate (and 256 painchance) for it

and in that painstate is where the magic happens - might even destroy the old actor and spawn a shrinking/shrunk one (turning off the countkill flag first just to make sure that it didnt give you a free kill even though the critter isnt actually toast yet)

im not sure how you'd trigger the Player stomping the critter under boot when you get close though - that would require the monster making the player conduct an action when they got within a certain distance or came in contact with it

could be possible with Touchy and passing the action pointer back to the player, but I dont know how action pointers work yet

Is it me or is rise of the triad only half fun? i played through it all once and i felt out of the whole game only about 25% of maps were enjoyable and the rest felt like a test of my patience

If someone wants to download a cool TC for quake, look for "after the fall". I was involved in making it and so were many other guys who later worked at companies like Valve and Gearbox.

The mission was to be the first true TC for any game, and as such, ATF does not use any original quake asset except hardcoded things that could not be replaced (and the quakec of course)

https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/atf.html

I guess in retrospect and even when we were working on it....It looks like garbage. shit made by kids, with no professional skills, pcs, programs or tools. But we tried. The gaming hobby was 10 times smaller back then and the modding hobby was 1000 times smaller.

doesn't matter, minor alterations to the engine aren't going to slow down a modern computer. So it's more like

>>3947949
er, 20 years.

>>3947951
I have absolutely no idea whatsoever, but isn't the entire point of quakespasm that everything is supposed to run on it without issue? Be warned if you even bother, that it will probably seem laughably ghetto to you today, playing all these expertly made Q1 levels that would have made our jaws absolutely hit the floor :)

>>3947928
Having recently played all the way through it, I can definitely say that's true. The shareware maps and the NME fight are the only things that really stood out to me. It's a game that is terribly held back by its engine. The remaining Wolfenstein 3D elements like static ceiling heights and 90 degree walls heavily limit map design, and the extensions intended to help with that are so janky that they're more pain than they're worth. I think moving walls accounted for more of my deaths than anything else in the game, and Dog Mode got me stuck inside doors more than once. The limited weapon system is a huge pain in the ass, you just end up spending half the time in maps backtracking to pick up guns. Return of the Triad really shows what the game could've been on a less shitty engine. The only things keeping it from completely obsoleting the original game in my opinion are the Split Missile mechanics and the boss fights (or more accurately just the NME, the other bosses aren't that great).

>>3947958
>I think moving walls accounted for more of my deaths than anything else in the game

>>3947953
>AD is a mod, not an engine. Increasing heapsize to 64mb was something that I could do in 1997. there's something wrong with his PC, obviously.
If you look at vanillla quake and AD side by side you can clearly see a tenfold bump in geometry complexity and subsequently triangle counts. Dude's got a 12 year old rig, so yeah, it's less than adequate for something that was tested on a 2010s potato and found to run adequately.

>>3947962
I would still think it a non-factor, a 12 year old computer is still hardware from when Quake was almost 10 years old.

Though, brush counts did make quake chug heavily back in the day.

>>3947956
>isn't the entire point of quakespasm that everything is supposed to run on it without issue?

I don't think that's true. Nehahra, for example, isn't supported by Quakespasm.

Make a map from start to finish for once. This is getting annoying with almost all your works being in "alpha", "beta", "demo", "theta", "psi", "omega", "I've just added a room, take a look" stages of development.
Cons: dumb loud explosion that is made of 72 rockets hitting the floor simultaneously; misaligned textures everywhere (try setting castle walls to "lower unpegged"); ugly texture cutoffs on walls due to using non-standard heights which would be better masked with some extra detail like borders or something like that; some lines completely lack textures which results into noticeable bleeding or that BS in 2nd row in picture related; tower lacks texture consistency: here's green marble, black rocky floor and red marble steps that don't mix well; bland monster encounters; seamless transitions to fake room over room that were better done in 2003 and several Boom wads than here, check Daedalus and demonizd.wad; non-functional areas that are kept in.
Pros: nice malfunctioning door effect; you finally made THICC glass block shots.
It's kind of a step forward that you stopped cramming as much pointless shit as possible, but there's still a lot of work to do with polishing your mapping technique. Design is still pretty much 1994-tier: here and there are some nice ideas but execution is sub-par.

You can roll back to pre-3.0 Nvidia Experience and go back to old Shadowplay, then force-disable any updating (for experience, you can update your drivers like normal). Google it, I think the nvidia reddit has a guide.

You mean he didn't just keep it in e1m8 but also put it in another map? what the fuck?

>>3948198(me)
This is a lot more coherent than e1m8 was, however that fading in-out lighting is too dark and it's difficult to see anything, I'm using GZDoom 2.4.0 with Doom lighting. I don't know why it's so much darker than on >>3948007 's end, even the fog. I'd go so far as to say you uploaded a different version of the map, as the stairwell's coloured grey, too..
In software the area's just a searing mass of flat red, so that's out.

>>3948209
I don't know, I've used windowed GZDoom 2.2.0 with Standard sector light mode when these screenies were taken. It looks a bit better with Legacy sector light mode, however.

>DUMP 3 boss fight
How the hell are you supposed to win this? Doomguy's hitbox is fat and the projectiles are either too fast to react to or unavoidably spaced. I thought it was my mod's lower movespeed being an issue at first, but I'm having the same issues in vanilla. You're also using shotguns for the fight which needs you to be close to do damage, which doesn't help at all with not taking damage. DUMP 2's boss was better.

Doom is written in its description and most comments.

Same situation goes for most "rero-inspired" fps on steam aside from those based on Minecraft aestethic (yes, that is a thing). And texture resolution/pixel density in those is worse than the original just as well.

>>3948580
Some times the games themselves are decent, it's just that developers clearly were not present in that time period and do not get the difference between the game they are trying to ape and earlier games.

Case in point - Butcher. Game itself is great, but it's been made with internal resolution of 320x160, because developers aimed at old horizontal resolution instead of vertical one, while having their game at 16x9 ratio - that makes it have lower pixel density than even GBA games.

I don't know, that screenshot looks pretty crisp even if the art is done on the cheap. But there's a lot of stuff out there that's just lazy too.

>>3948580
Delver's not an FPS, it's heavily inspired by old dungeon crawlers which used tile based environments and object interaction, so I don't know why you're using it as your image.
Besides, it used to look like this.

Be honest.

>>3946987

I used that as an example because that was the screenshot in original comparison that was not made by me.

There are quite a few other similar games that mention Doom and not wolf.

And I know that Delver is not an FPS - that was an example of Minecraft-y aestetic that somehow technically inferor to it in visual aspect.

Yknow, old hardware like this, there's a reason that someone gets into retro games.

Because they're supposed to play on a retro computer.

If you can find some way to get me a more modern (windows) laptop be my guest. I dont have an address to ship to. My mom gave me this one, dad had it laying around for years.

>>3948815
>Yknow, old hardware like this, there's a reason that someone gets into retro games.
Don't you mean you get into retro games because the industry was so much smaller 20 years ago you could make a game that respects the player's intelligence and creative vision was actually respected? Then along came John Romero, spent years making a passion project that collapsed under his ego and incompetence... but I digress.

Not because it's the only thing you can run.

>>3948598

Also another thing that modern developers dont understand is that retro games, while being low spec because of the requirements of that age... also made good with their appearance considering that low spec.

So slapping OpenGL on anything is a giant example of "you're doing it wrong"

Not that they should necessarily contend with the same programming overhead that retro games do, but they really shouldn't be tossing in ANY of the bells and whistles that have come about within the last 15 years.

I mean take for example some of these 2d Sidescrollers and Isometrics take up over 1 GB of ram and require all sorts of pixel shaders.

NOPE

Even RTCW had a rather low operational overhead, and it wasnt even technically a "retro" game.

> file.png
reminds me of lemmings in some way

this game looks fantastic but the reason its not retro style is because back in the day people drew graphics like these as pixel art and the usual way you'd go about doing that is drawing a black outline on everything (or at least shadowed areas)

So you'd start out with an outline on things, whereas this looks very much like it was drawn at a higher resolution... scaled down... and then corrections took place in order to clarify what each graphic "represents"

That kind of style may have been used in a very limited way back then, I may remember a game or two that looked as "flat" as this one does, but it was uncommon. Not representative of the genre.

Gun icons, ammo icons, that all looks spiffy compared to what someone might've drawn back then ("oh lets see, shotgun shells are red, so we're going to start with R255, G0, B0").

But the health and armor sliders look intentionally poor quality. Back in the day, health jewels were very refined looking, often crisp slivers.

I was alive 30 years ago to be able to play retro games and thats what got me started. So I was there, I remember it.

> I was there gandalf, 3000 years ago, when isildur took the ring, I was there the day the strength of men failed

But the computers ive had have always been slower and budget priced over the years compared to whats been available. Ive never gotten above "Doom3 playability" level, no matter what kind of computer ive gotten my hands on.

Since Retro is my home, despite it getting tiresome to play it over and over again (which is why I get mods, like these), im generally okay with that.

> But it really is the only thing I can play...
> Anything made since 2004, including doom3, cant be run on my comp. UT2k4 runs but it gets like 15-20fps, and I liked the sound effects and ai in ut2003 better since thats what I actually bought back then with my cash.

Ive played some modern games - on someone else's console while on the rare occasion id come visit them.

> Im not all that impressed.

Like you said games were better years ago. With a few exceptions on both ends. The fancy lifelike graphics go in one ear and out the other.

Im there for gameplay and tactics. And using my own tactics mind you, not some contrived way that "there is a certain way the developers want you to beat this map, its a puzzle".

For example I loved Halo 3, and I thought Halo 4 was decent.

I played Black Ops II and actually liked the single player campaign (except for a bug in the vietnam level that made me not have a weapon). Since I only had about 12-15 hours to throw into it I was okay with beating it once.

Obviously, I could give a shit less about online multiplayer. I like having advantages over my enemies, more power, better weapons, alot more fucking health. Those traits are incompatible with multiplayer because everyone has to have the same shit.

>procedural levels
A-a-and down the shitter it goes. I've yet to see any procedural level generator better than OBLIGE.

>>3948843

(cont'd)

I especially hate the tendency (RPGs) to get alot of watered down bonuses that stack up. +2% and +5% here and there.

Im not a DPS guy, I really dont give a shit how fast the damage adds up from alot of attacks. Im always looking for:

"I need to figure out how I can kill shit in 1-4 Hits"

There's more to fighting than damage, there's also reliability, and ability to use a weapon tactically.

I use Cover, I dont just run out and fight deathmatch style. I dont speedrun, I will go roundabout ways just to avoid monsters or make sure I get a free hit without it being able to shoot me back.

Thats like in doom, the rocket only does about 200-ish damage, but the benefit isnt in its damage but the fact it does about 100 to everything around it and destroys cannon fodder and revenants. Thats what you're supposed to use it for. There's more reliable weapons for killing bosses (since a rocket might not hit, and they dont take splash). A string of pearls from the plasma gun does very reliable damage, allows easy ducking back into cover, and is probably going to hit with almost all of them.

>>3948856
> its made in Unity meaning x10 system requirements.

You know I wonder about why that is. Why unity is so bloated.

Almost makes you wonder about /pol/ level conspiracy theories.

Mine is that it was commissioned as a poisoned product to deter anyone coming out with a truly good indie-developing platform. Because there's already one there, and its free, so why make a new one?

Except its bloated as fuck and hard to use, just like Blender was.

Here you can make indie games that are abysmally underperforming. Here we shall prove that you must be an enormous business to make a good game.

So that you do not challenge the big boys in the gaming industry with your genius tier gameplay and sound worksmanship.

Even in my shitty country where I earn 250$ a month I somehow managed to scrounge up 450$ and get me a semi-decent rig.

>Unity
Unity is modular and extensively uses special libraries for literally everything. Problem is your library choice is limited, and one library that may be optimal for some thing, is suboptimal for the other. Unless you pay some heavy bucks (that indies can't do) you have no access to source code and therefore from half to 2/3 of your game is going to be built upon libraries that are suboptimal for the task.

Also it's 2D rendering is a dirty hack that uses 3D claculations. Prime example - Hollow Knight - a recent 2D game on unity manages to drop down to 40 FPS on very good machines that have no trouble with FarCry 4.

>>3948879
Prebaked room recombiner is even worse though, because there's ALWAYS gonna be a point where you've seen every possible room already and after that it gets cognitevly repetitive due to "I've seen this before" much much faster. Even if there's ~500 rooms, and I guess there's much less, that's still only about one run and a half.

Look at the game that's just recently came out with same idea: Ziggurat and Immortal Redneck - thye both suffer from this issue even when their developers said it's gonna be okay since they made hundreds of rooms.

>>3948843

Not exactly sure what you meant by that comment, given that there's no money on the other side of that wall either.

I could go out and panhandle, but I think id rather be dead before that point (and believe me ive tried before). So death comes first before alot of other things would.

Im one of those people on /pol seriously wishing for without rule of law. Then ive got a chance to get on top.

I use some very powerful supernatural shit to stay alive I could link the books but suffice to say, rather than getting money I tend to get the things that I would buy with it.

> I live without money
> in the united states

I could very well conjure up getting a gaming rig, maybe someone throws it away but I find it and with a little effort I get it working, because it was old to them or they have so much money from chicago that they dont give a shit (and all they care about is their phone anyway).

Not magic that makes things just appear, but seriously stacks the deck on chance. Never in the wrong place at the wrong time to get screwed over, never cross the path of a serious swindler or a dangerous person. Very often in the right place at the right time to get a cool opportunity.

I got Pizza on my birthday because someone else offered it to me out of the blue. With a root beer soda. They were leaving and I showed up at just the right time, and I didnt even ask - they offered.

Just example scenarios. But its not reliable. You could post the desire to the cosmos for wanting a new computer, and you find one but it doesnt work (or is FRP locked).

More basic things tend to pan out.

Black Ops 2 specifically. It had the drones and the more futuristic weapons.

The only other level I didnt like was where the bad guy takes control and you hack people up with a machete but you've got plot armor invincibility, so he just "sees red" when he gets shot up.

And I absolutely fucking hated the RTS levels in that game. Talk about artificial difficulty due to how hard it was to manage them. Using the droid things was awesome but covering all those areas was pretty hard, id rather all that shit have been controlled by script so I could take care of it in FPP the way I wanted to.

>vietnam level
It had a PT boat on a river which was getting attacked by helicopters. You get RPGs to shoot up at it. But prior to that you try to kill the bad guy when he was younger, and fuck it up.

The error comes in because you retreat back to a place where some weapons are supposed to be stashed. But the problem is due to a script error it wasnt giving me my weapons back (one time it did give me the weapons back though).

Somehow I managed to make it down to the river without my gun even though I was getting shot at on the run.
> its a first person shooter, except you dont get to shoot

And either due to shitting statting or balancing, the RPD machinegun was the best weapon in the game, even better than the sniper rifles. Being able to carry 600 rounds...
