We would drown on /vg/. Waste your time petitioning hiroshimoot to make /vg2/ instead or to increase the page count.

>>3996636
That's his Quake 3 model?
>hidden navel
Thank for that.

>>3996660
Even if they did increase the page count, we'd still drown. Any game that has a single anime character will be more active than Doom

>>3996662
Q3 model with his stomach covered, yeah, the original Q3 model has exposed abs. Also the model there has unfiltered textures on his pants only which is super weird.

>>3996682
The PC version of THPS3 renders random textures without filtering. You can fix it by getting an Xbox texture mod though

Anyone got that pic of NuDoomguy getting triggered at a UAC logo (not the actual UAC, an IRL company logo that has the same initials)?

I made the pic and I lost it somehow

>>3996697
I noticed that while playing it and it weirded me out, wondered how a bug like that even happens. Doesn't detract from the gameplay at all though so I didn't bother looking for a fix.

I just checked, the other guy was right.
I find it interesting how in old Metroid, beams just had different effects (plasma pierced enemies, ice froze them), while Metroid Prime, if you omit the elemental weaknesses and resistance, has them coming off as upgrades, since the plasma beam is objectively the most powerful (even if missiles are stronger).

I wonder how Prime 2 and 3 handled the beams.

>>3996709
Will use this to trigger /emugen/, thanks.

>>3996729
Did I say something wrong?

>>3996731
He's just talking about the filters in your image.

>>3996731
It's your disgusting filtered image that I'm referring to.

>>3996709
you are like little baby
watch this

>>3996653
To be honest, you type of people wouldn't be happy until all western games are removed from /vr/.

>>3996737
>>3996738
Pick anything from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdueY9LcQTM then.
The floating thing with the melting face is horrifying, but Ridley is a joke.

>>3996741
This is art.

>>3996709
>I wonder how Prime 2 and 3 handled the beams.

>2
-Light Beam is basically the new Plasma; sets things on fire, fast firing & fast projectile.
-Dark beam is basically the new Ice; slower firing, slow moving projectile; charged shot 'freezes' enemies.
-Annihilator beam is slow to fire, but homes in.

>3
-Like Super Metroid, beams stack (but you can't deactivate them), because the Wiimote doesn't have the room for beam selection on top of visor selection, hypermode and everything else. Ice functionality is a missile upgrade, like Metroid Fusion.

>>3996709
>I wonder how Prime 2 and 3 handled the beams.
Prime 2 had them as separate weapons with different ammo.
Prime 3 had them as stacking upgrades.

>>3996752
Sounds nice, even if 3 sounds a bit boring if all the beams stack. You only have one beam, then, and it get better the more your progress.

>>3996754
>ammo
Ah...

>>3996650
Is there a mod that let's me play Quake 2N64 with the actual Quake 2 engine?

Didn't know it had completely original levels

>>3996759
>more your progress
The more you progress*

>>3996762
A few people have started a total conversion but no one has completed it.

>>3996759

Forgot to mention they use ammo. Annihilator Beam uses both, which is how it balances being the best beam. On Dark Aether (Prime 2's equivalent to LoZ:ALTTP's Dark World) there are these safe zones that can damage enemies if they're charged with Light Beam. With Annihilator Beam, they kill enemies, but also draw them in.

Also you restore ammo by killing enemies/destroying supply containers using the opposite beam. And if you're completely empty of beam ammo, you can still use fire a standard shot by charging it. You don't have access to the proper charged shot, however.

>>3996778
Ha, okay. You had me scared for a while, here, given how the weapons in Metroid also act as tool, limiting the ammos sounded annoying.

>>3996782
Actually the most annoying aspect of Prime 2 was the constant "warping between Dark and Light worlds" loading screens. I'm not sure if this problem is mitigated at all via emulation, because I haven't tried it personally. But if you can get past that, (didn't bother me as much as it seemed to bother most people) Prime 2 is an excellent game overall. Would recommend especially if you liked Prime 1.

Any doom wads that are similar to Divine Comedy?


I want to explore the nine levels of Hell.

>>3996791
I loved Prime 1. It was the reason I was so excited when I learned there was a Metroid wad for Doom.

I'm just annoyed because the Metroid games are scattered on 6 different consoles, and even if I got a Wii to play the Prime trilogy, I just read that they changed the games, so I won't be playing Prime 2, I'll be playing a remake.

>>3996797
Prime Trilogy isn't a remake by any stretch. It adds (amazing) pointer controls and true 16:9 support for the two GC games. That's really it. The rest of the series can easily be emulated on a low end PC and no one gives a rats ass about Prime Hunters' campaign.

>>3996797
They only changed the controls, and Wii is backwards comparable with gamecube anyways

>>3996808
I dunno, I just read that it changed the charge beam and a few damage value.

>>3996810
>Wii is backwards comparable with gamecube anyways
Brb buying a Wii.

Does anybody have the older unmaker wad, which happened to be pulsating and animated?

Need any unmaker that isn't on the r667, additionally.

>>3996797
>I'm just annoyed because the Metroid games are scattered on 6 different consoles
Emulate, bruh.

>>3996815
>I dunno, I just read that it changed the charge beam and a few damage value.
Where? The comprehensive differences list ion the wiki doesn't say anything about it.

>>3996815
>playing with the worst dual analog on any official controller versus arguably the best way to play a FPS ever
Why

>>3996824
http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Charge_Beam
>When in use, the Charge Beam causes a graphical effect to affect the Arm Cannon which differs depending on the Beam (although this was removed in the Wii version of Metroid Prime).
Not sure why they made it, it was pretty fun to have the cannon opening up.

>>3996823
I don't suppose there's like, an Metroid All-Stars thingy on SNES with all the old 2D games?

>>3996829

Nope.
If you're looking to get into the older games, though, start with AM2R or Zero Mission. They're remakes of the older games but with more handholding so newer folk can get in, and while AM2R is fan-made it's almost a passable Nintendo product.
Play both, and then go Super Metroid--the king of the franchise, but God help you if you go in unprepared.

>>3996830
>AM2R is fan-made
Ha, so I can play it on PC? I'll keep the others in mind for later.

>>3996830
>Super Metroid--the king of the franchise, but God help you if you go in unprepared.
When was the last time you played SM? It's not all that difficult, even if it's your first Metroid.

>>3996835

It's not difficult at all, no, but the complete lack of any guidance REALLY trips up newcomers.
I've introduced a lot of folks to Metroid over the years, in different orders, and when people were introduced to Super Metroid first you could set their bewilderment to a clock.

>>3996832

You can, yes.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vxncvy0jul1jjcj/AM2R_10.zip?dl=1
Enjoy, m80.

>>3996836
Good to know, and thanks for the link.

While I'm talking about Metroid Dreadnought.
Hum.

Make it to the secret level with the nazis. You'll see.

>>3996610
It's also nice that people who only played the Prime games aren't badly considered.

>>3996636
>Doomguy can't jump and falls like a sack of bricks, but is impossibly fast and turns extremely quick
:)

>>3996867
The funny part is that with those stats, he actually jumps higher than a number of other skaters with default stats due to his insane speed alone. I noticed that when I unlocked him, Doomguy can easily clear the first sideways scaffolding in Foundry from the starting ramp while other skaters can't do that even with a Boneless.

>>3996862
Everyone had to start somewhere.

>HYPERPOWER!
>Famine

>HYPERPOWER!
>Crapshoot

>>3996878
The analyse system was pure genius. It made the game a lot more immersive.

>>3996867
Well played, Neversoft.

>>3996882
Wasn't Neversoft's doing, it was Gearbox that added Doomguy while they were porting the game to PC.

Please don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool that something like Chocolate Doom works in older OS.

But why is it that nobody has bothered to develop a WAD managing tool that also works in older OS?

All is fun and games in the XWE bashing bonanza until you're stuck with no other choice but to use XWE because your PC is broken, you have no backups and you only have one of those shitty "WinXP Live" discs.

>If you would like to submit any news or your personal map or mod releases here, please reply/backlink to this post.

Well fuck I replied to the OP last thread instead, oops
>>3994681
>>3995921

>>3996808
>no one gives a rats ass about Prime Hunters' campaign

Why does Evilution have all these unnecessary areas?

>>3996909

-There's a reason the other Metroids only do the 'escape from the boss with a timer' once or twice at absolute maximum. That shit get old REAL quick when you do it every planet.

-Hunters dropped most of the mobility-based powerups for mostly weapon based ones. You know, those things that help to separate Metroid from other shooters? Yet another case of a single-player campaign being hampered for sake multiplayer.

-Once of the most common gripes I see about the Primes is the bits where you get locked in a room and are forced to fight some mini-mini-boss enemies. Prime 1 does it with Chozo Ghosts, Prime 2 does it with Dark Pirate Commandos. In both cases, acquisition of a visor powerup/weapon makes these fights less of a time-wasting annoyance, or completely optional. Hunters however, does these bits constantly because it needs to pad out its smaller areas due to being on the DS.

>>3996743
Good shit. Especially the Ridley battle, like holy fuck

>>3996909
Hunters was in development hell, and the final thing is essentially an Arena FPS first. It was actually pretty good for what it was in that regard, if only the game didn't succumb to an influx of script kiddies with Action Replay before WFC kicked the bucket. Honestly wouldn't have minded a 3DS remake because the thing is essentially a Monster Hunter machine.

But yes, the campaign was nothing to write home about. Still better than Moon, but yeah.

>>3996752
>-Annihilator beam is slow to fire, but homes in.
Anon it fires as fast as the power beam, and the light beam shoots kinda slow and the dark beam shoots a little faster than the ice beam from Prime 1

>>3996935
>That shit get old REAL quick when you do it every planet.
You'd hate Descent then

>get home
>new doom thread
>all this Metroid talk
Unexpected, but really pleasant.

>>3996945

It's also worth noting that It was developed by Nintendo Software Technologies, not Retro. NST 's work prior to that had been stuff like the Crystalis port for GBC and Zelda Collection for GCN.

Is there a WAD manager similar to Mod Organizer for Bethesda games?

>>3996945
Never heard about this development hell business, but the singleplayer was enjoyable and environmental detail was astounding for a DS game.

What's Moon?

>>3996794
The Master Levels had parts of a full set created by one guy
But be aware that the levels are from '95 and that they're Master Levels, so quality is questionable, also I can't recall how accurate they are, if it all

>>3996986
why would there be any need for something like that? wads are self contained in the first place

>>3996965
>Still no Quaketroid
>Modding skills not yet good enough to make it happen.

>tfw you will never see a game where doomguy and samus kick alien demon ass

The dev of TrenchBroom haunt these parts hereabout?

>>3996986

The closes thing to what you're asking is a launcher, like ZDL:

https://zdoom.org/wiki/ZDL

Anyone know if someone ported Devil Daggers over to DooM? I know someone did the double-barrel from Wolfenstein: The New Order.

>>3996990
Moon was another FPS for the DS.
It was made by the same people who made Dementium: The Ward.

I kinda liked it.

>>3997025
Oh fuck I remember that, I keep meaning to play it somehow and then forgetting to.

What do I do. This sin't the first mod which has done this. Ketchup also gave me this.

>>3997062
You unpack it and fix it by changing 0,l to 0,1.

>>3997053
They remade it on the 3DS.

>>3997062
>>3997069

>isn't the first mod
Of other mods are doing this, then you GZDoom is out of date.

...However when it comes to the mod in question, it's because of anactual typo that SgtMarkIV still cannot be fucking assed to fix this.

To make a long story short, a long time ago, ZDoom's code parser would sometimes read invalid floats as legal. This was recently fixed, which causes BD to crash.

YOur only way to fix this is to either go into the pk3 with SLADE and do that job that Mark should have done goddamn MONTHS AGO, or to use a spinoff/revamp like Project Brutality, coded by people who actually know what they are doing, and are willing to fix bugs.

>>3997069
Fuck. That's beyond me.

Back to playing Call of Duty and League of Legends.

Also, Project Brutality is just plain better that BD, so it's a win-win.

Requesting somebody break this up into a spider-mastermind sized decoration. all frames extracted, just remove the black backround and script it to run through it's frames.

Hey, Doom Quickstart Archive anon here.
I finally tracked down every wad/pk3 mentioned in the guide, however a few of them aren't working, namely Internal Conflict, Jurassic Rift, Rocket Jumping Extreme, and ZDoom Wars.
If anyone has working copies, I'd be glad to have a copy.

In the meantime, I'm uploading all of the ones that do work.

Are there any old doom map pack disks that would be worth including?

>>3997062

It's an issue with the latest GZDoom that Mark hasn't bothered to fix in a year.

Here's a patched file: http://gam.thewaitingroom.org/doom/brutalv20b.pk3

>>3997014

No users of TrenchBroom in the house then?

>>3997124
Absolute legend.

>>3997115
Just use VirtualDub to convert then remove the black from all of them at once with Slade3

Is it true Quake 2 is not actually suppose to be orange tinted but the hardware accelerated render makes it so? I thought an anon suggested that was the case, but I'm not really sure.

I'm thinking about making a map for it, but I don't want to be limited to a very small color range.

>>3997151
How the hell do I remove the black from all of them at once? Didn't know slade could do that, they're all clear to go.

Did gzdoom 3 remove the launcher because it's a text launcher for me.

Use ZDL as your launcher.

The game was supposed to be released not long after the DS itself. The demo that was released with launch units was a different game.

>What's Moon?

Another DS FPS where you play as an Astronaut who shoots little drones and uses an RC car. It got a 3DS remake that was released episodically.

>>3997238
I know right, it's a pretty good weapon mod.

Hmm, so I turned off the brutal enemy options in the settings, but skellies are still OP as fuck. huge rocket splash damage radius, crawling around still firing these rockets when they're supposed to be dead, and then this weapon which is not supposed to be in classic doom. Does anyone know if this can be got rid of without wizardry?

>>3997305
And now this. First epic arena battle is broken by brutal doom. First part is too easy since you have these guys distracting all the mancubi, then the second part just never happens.

I feel like doom is not complete without the mega blood splatters, but all this bonus content is killing the game.

>>3997226

Thank you.
Is there a simple way of loading two mods in a desired order?

Sorry, am noob.

>>3997198
You'll want to have a look at this page before you continue doing that

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Sprite

I've spent all night trying to "fix" a mod and I think I've hit a roadblock, I believe it might even be an issue with zdoom/ACS and whatnot, but I'll ask here first before sending a bug report in case anyone can shed some light because I have next to no idea about ACS and maybe this is not the correct approach.

It's about this mod:
https://github.com/PkmX/hpbar
I can get it working on all zdoom (z, qz, gz, zan) variants no issues, but as soon as a savegame is loaded after a few changemaps/reloads it crashes the game on all of them.

Then I tried another HP bar mod:
https://github.com/j-palomo/JPHUD
Works fine, and no crashes whatsoever, but the enemy name displayed is awful, so I thought as a learning exercise I'll try porting the name replacer from the previous mod into this one.

Got it first try alright, but now I have the same issue: game crashes right after reloading under the same conditions.

First I thought it was the cvar shenanigans the guy from the former mod was using, so I tried to move away from it a replaced it with multiple switch/cases (multiple because there's a cap on them, what the fuck), but still has the same problem. Out of desperation I even tried a shitload of ugly if's one after the other, still the same shit.

So all this raises a series of questions.
(cont)

>>3997412
The game just freezes at this point, even with jimmy's aid.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nrydz6zwwhexams/squid3.wad?dl=0

Knock yourselves out if you can get it to work properly. It just freezes at this point; I'm not fucking with it anymore, I need to keep working on my map and making it good.

>>3997198
what the ever-loving fuck

>>3997404
ZDL https://zdoom.org/wiki/ZDL

>>3997414
First would be, how can I achieve the same functionality (or close) to what in other languages would be "associative arrays"?
What I need is a way to link a "tag" to a "value" so I can access that value dinamically through that tag.
As in:
>enemy["DemonTechZombie"] = "Demon Tech Zombie"
>nametag="DemonTechZombie"
>enemy[nametag] would be the same as enemy["DemonTechZombie"]

What the first guy did was save all those names in cvars such as
>server noarchive string hpbar_name_DemonTechZombie = "Demon Tech Zombie";
So he can access them like this
>str name = GetCVarString(strparam(s: "hpbar_name_", s: class));

Any of you guys know any other way to achieve this? I didn't manage to find anything.

The second thing I wonder is if there's some kind of limit regarding how many "strings" you can have in a mod, because seems like it might be related to the crashes.

>>3997421
Exactly. I don't get a single lick of any of this shit. Setting the frames to 999 even did nothing but freeze it.

>>3997451
>the fucking sprite names didn't change
jesus fucking christ just give me a noose

>>3997451
...because you're making each frame last for 999 gametics, you fucking idiot.

>>3997456
>the sprite names are correct
GIVE ME A NOOSE

Give me TWO

>>3997457
And they still freeze any lower, you fuck-cake.

Stop giving me the "did you try turning it on and off again" treatment

>>3997460
How much lower, because it should be, like, single digits.

>>3997462
Any. It doesn't matter what number.

>>3997463
Is the actor dormant or deactivated in your map

>>3997467
No; infact I made a box map specifically just to test and tweak the prop.

>>3997460

Got it working. It took literally one change.
You're a dumbass, Sarais, and the way you're treating people helping you, no wonder you're stuck.

>>3997414
>>3997447
nvm fixed it ;)

It was the cvar shenanigans definitively, I'm fucking dumb and I didn't clear that cvarinfo file properly, now it's working fine only with the bunch of "if's" which doesn't seem much elegant.

>>3997489
good to hear. cvar shenanigans certainly provide a lot of trickiness that are difficult to wade through.

>>3997481
"helping" he calls it

Your help is about the same as a fucking corporate support line. You keep presuming I haven't already tried shit before I ask.

>>3997496
>You keep presuming I haven't already tried shit before I ask.
you have said nothing about what you've actually tried

>>3997492
Now, having a bunch of
>if (nametag == "DemonTechZombie") name = "Demon Tech Zombie";
for every enemy is wrecking my autism really hard, it doesn't look good at all, and it most likely is inefficient as hell too.
I hope I can find some elegant way around this without using cvars.

>>3997496
>Your help is about the same as a fucking corporate support line.
Appropriate, given the type of person that would call a fucking corporate support line.

>You keep presuming I haven't already tried shit before I ask.
That's not my fucking problem, is it?

>>3997496
>You keep presuming I haven't already tried shit before I ask.

If you were really willing to accept help, you would not be so upset about this.

>>3997506
And who are you to say what somebody is like?

>>3997420

I have no clue what this is about, so I decided to look at this and see what the deal is. Doesn't freeze here. Sprites are just in the completely wrong location. Gave 'em proper x/y and they work fine. You're really overreacting about something simple, obvious, and very stupid.

>>3997524
>Sprites are just in the completely wrong location, Gave 'em proper x/y and they work fine.
what does this even mean

>>3997520
I'm me. I say nothing about what somebody is like.

>>3997528
it means give them the proper fucking x and y position

>>3997528
Giving them the x/y? It's pretty obvious.

How can I use cvars in sbarinfo? I want to customize transparency, for example.

>>3997584

In SBARINFO? Not easily. You'll need to have an ACS loop that reads the player's cvar selection and gives inventory items based on it, and then have SBARINFO do lots of InInventory checks.
It should be easier with ZScript, but I haven't tried ZScript HUDs yet.

>>3997594

False. Just use IfCVarInt.

What's the difference between ZDoom, QZDoom and GZDoom exactly?

>>3997658
exactly what it says on the download page

>>3997661
I was expecting a more in-depth and/or technical explanation, but thanks.

>>3997658
qzdoom is software renderer
gzdoom is qzdoom merged in and also a hardware mode for opengl rendering
zdoom is dead

>>3997662

There's not really a lot to go into, especially now that ZDoom is dead and QZDoom is merged into GZDoom.

>>3997663
>qzdoom is software renderer
I can see an OpenGL renderer option when I start QZDoom, what's with that?

>>3997668
QZDoom was made as a fork of GZDoom to experiment with stuff, so that would be the current (at the time) version of GZDoom.

>>3997658
ZDoom was the original, now obsolete
GZDoom supports OpenGL for hardware mode, now pushed as the main build with all the fancy bells and whistles
QZDoom was a fork for a true color software renderer, now merged into GZDoom and made obsolete

>>3997694
So, how long until GZDoom absorbs Zandronum?

>>3997702
Soon™

>>3997702
Considering so much has happened to GZDoom while Zandronum struggles to push out a stable 3.0 release, and that there was talk of the former possibly adopting the client/server model? Though obviously things won't happen just like that overnight, it's pretty clear Zandybam is kinda behind and ultimately fucked for the role of 'Multiplayer ZDoom' and something else will have to fill the void sooner or later.

This might sound kinda silly, but is there anyway to get Wadsmoosh to also cram Doom 64: Retribution in?

I've been picking Wadsmoosh apart, but I haven't entirely figured it out yet.

It should, really.

>>3997876
Now shit would just get even more bloated at that point.

>>3997879
it's open source asset remake

>>3997879
its a community project where they replace every asset of doom to make it distributable and for anyone to use.

New maps, monsters, sounds, weapons, etc. But still the same gameplay - down to the code (although I'm not sure if that makes the code the one thing that doesn't meet the freedoom standards of being original)

>>3997880
This one.

>>3997942
it's designed to be interchangeable with doom iwads. theoretically all the mods made for doom should work in freedoom

How hard would it be to make an entire movie like that?

>>3998281

>>3998281
I've always felt that this scene is just a stupid gimmick that was added to pander to "gamers".

>>3998286
Damn, that was a really cool movie. Especially the ending. EZ
Also, anons, can you guess which scene was censored out in my country?

>>3998296
It's sad that it's the only good scene.
The entire movie should've been pandering to gamers.

>>3998296
Well, it's a movie based on a legendary first person shooter. They had to do something like this. There was no other way.

Is eRampage a good way to play Redneck Rampage or it's the same shit as eDuke Blood?

>>3998353

Yes.

>>3998353
No.

"eRampage" is not a sourceport. The sourcecode to RR was never released.
It's an empirical approximative recreation just like BloodCM, except worse.

Get the GOG version and play in DOSbox. Don't forget to play the add-on and the sequel, Rides Again, which are both vastly superior to the original.

i haven't been around in a while
what's the big hip thing flooding zandronum right now?

>>3998396
>It's an empirical approximative recreation just like BloodCM, except worse.
Just as I thought. Thanks, gonna play DOS version then.

>>3998402
Nothing, really. 3.0 has been in alpha for more than a year, and GZDoom is getting all the cool toys.

So what was the decision behind making Quake 2 a sequel to Quake 1 instead of giving it its own name? I like both of the games, but it seems the change has caused somewhat a divide in the fanbase.

Also, did Quake 1 ever get an actual sequel further down the road (As in, same setting?) Lovecraftian FPS with a lot of action just seems like an untapped field.

>>3998286
Name sounds like a multiplayer skin for Serious Sam.

>>3998447
>Quake was originally the name of the main character
>Ended up as the codename for Shub Niggurath
>Now it's nothing because of the sequel

>>3998447
Quake 1 got lots of expansion packs that continue the plot.

>>3998458
They even had Thor's hammer

>>3998447
>So what was the decision behind making Quake 2 a sequel to Quake 1 instead of giving it its own name?
The name they were originally going to use was already taken so they just named it Quake again.

>Also, did Quake 1 ever get an actual sequel further down the road (As in, same setting?)
Nope. There's two official expansion packs but their quality varies widely and leans on the side of 'not great.' Lots of fantastic unofficial maps and mods, though.

>>3998476
i kinda liked them over the main game, but that's just me

>>3998458

>I'm the only one who understands Kinsie's genius and all he does is make fun of me
That's Kinsie in a nutshell, really.
The dude loves snipping, often to the point where he tends to snip first and think later.

I just beat Waterlab GZD and Jesus Christ that ending.
The slaughterfest wasn't so bad thanks to the custom megasphere the author gives you, but that boss fight was pretty harsh Until you notice the invulnerability orb near the exit A very good map though, I loved the secrets and creepy easter eggs. In all fairness I was playing it on UV so maybe it isn't so tough at that point on HMP.

What is it with large maps being unable to stop themselves from becoming slaughtermaps in their final moments anyway?

>Artifact will either never be added or become intentionally shit on MetaDoom because of Kinsie's anonymous asks

>>3998605
UAC Vinur Prime Research Base doesn't do that, it does the slaughterfest in the middle of it, and it doesn't delay too much to get past it, after that the map goes back to being fast-paced and the ending is nowhere near to be a slaughterfest despite the fucking open field.

>>3998476
Has anyone at id ever revealed what the original name was going to be?

>>3998615
I've only played half of that, but it seemed good. The music was great.

>>3998605
Mostly because many people don't have a problem with slaughter; as it's just a sudden up-pitch in a massive horde for a case of attrition. If you know how to prioritize targets, cause infighting, positioning, and the like, you should be okay.

>>3998615
>UAC Vinur Prime Research Base
Really didn't enjoy that map.

Rooms were massive at the expense of detail, and the layouts weren't particularly fun or imaginative enough so they couldn't claim gameplay over detail either.

The real kicker for me was the exit being barred till all the monsters were dead. You have to scour a maze-like area the size of a small country for monsters.

>>3997758
>>3997813

You could try contributing to MetaDoom's development instead of sending Kinsie love letters.

>>3998636
I've said this too. If there was also appropriately-sized actors to take up that scale, or some deeper detail, that would of been even better; maybe even scaling up some of the textures. I liked that it was large, but not that it's large-ness wasn't better utilized.

I like what they did to the weapons but the sprites aren't that good.
For example, the Moonman's punches have an iron knuckle appearing when he retracts his arm, some details on the sprites only appear on specific frames (like the imp only having a bone in their hair when they attack), and there's this.

>>3998605
>>3998632
In Waterlab's case the slaughter is generally fair, with huge amounts of ammo, powerups spawning at certain stages and pillars to provide brief rest and cover. The Overlord and Hades Elementals are twats though.
>that one lone rifleman guarding the exit button straight after

>>3998636
Well what i tried with it is get the feeling of the Tech bases shown in The Shores of Hell but using the scaling i'm used to make my maps, this was my first attempt at making something with vanilla Doom in mind only counting with GZDoom's features that is jumping and crouching, anyway, about the final part i can agree that it is a bad thing i did there, it could be better if i placed the Red Key somewhere in the field to open the City's gate instead of make the player kill all monsters in the outside.

>>3998642
well, sprites are always a bit of a cinch in the doom community, arent they?
Speaking of which, i heard that one of the guys that worked on some of the sprites for it was asked to be a sprite artist on terraria, before it was a huge thing, and he rejected cause he thought it looked stupid. He then went on to sprite for moonman doom. How life works in mysterious ways.

>>3998653
I don't mind shitty sprites (the Lost Nigs are extremely shitty and I still can't figure how the Jewodemons die), but I don't like inconsistency.

>>3998078
It failed at about 2:00 AM

I've just restarted it.

>>3998649
I don't mean to sound too negative - it had some real stand-out bits and I liked the almost Metroid like exploration, but I did not like getting lost and there were some giant empty rooms.

Credit to you though, that teleporter section segment was wonderful.

I played with Trialblazer and Colourful Hell and it was god damn mental

>>3998660
source on that weeb lizardman?

>>3997951
How do to get it to where the game restarts when you die? For the DoomRL/RPG stuff.

>>3998664
Nah it is fine, this is not my best style of mapping afterall but now i can't say i didn't try it.

Also yeah you are not the only one which expected monsters of the size of the base, however being vanilla oriented i held myself on that part, but knowing me, it would be pretty easier to fill it with monsters that honors the architeture.

>>3998882
Mmmm... I should try it, but the custom UI and weapons I saw spooks me a bit.

>>3998884
Eh I combined it with Combined Arms and never felt out of ammo. The axe in that wad can handle most mobs. It was my rusty dodging skills that got me killed the most.

I think I'll try it with DemonSteele, if it'll work.

>>3998884
The weapons are from a mod call Combined Arms. They're not part of Colourful Hell, but they are recommended due to how tough CH can get with groups of the higher ranked demons.

>>3998869
It's a bit slaughter map-y.

>>3998894
>>3998895
So I can't just play Colourful Hell by itself? It's a bit annoying.

Is it possible to jump in Doom 64 EX?
>http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Jumping
Here I have read that jumping in Doom 64 is possible if you complete the Hectic level the hard way, which I did (assuming the hard way is unlocking those things with three keys).
I've set right click to be the jumping because it doesn't recognize scroll button click at all, and it's still not working.

>>3998901
You can, but the tougher monsters can make the standard guns feel a bit weak.

>>3998898
That wasn't my intention at first, but it just kind of happened. Sorry about that.

>>3998884
It's pretty fun if you use it with easy WADs to make them somewhat challenging. But trying to use it on any nontrivial levels without additional overpowered weapon mods is literally bashing your head against a brick wall. And even with easy levels you'll probably want to disable the more bullshit options like cyberdemons leading their rockets or black/white monsters, unless you like grinding RNG.

>>3998905
There should be an option in the menus for 64EX to enable jumping without beating Hectic.

>>3998869
I rather like it. These are the types of maps I really like a lot, a lot of enemies and a lot of action without being too over-the-top.

>>3998912
I already did beat Hectic and it ain't working. Also there's no option in launcher, perhaps it's some parameter I need to enter.
Anyways, gonna let you know of any progress.

>>3998915
Thanks. Over the top was something I was trying real hard to avoid.

>>3998905
>>3998912
Also figured it should say
>The main reason for going through this stage is to unlock the jumping cheat (as you can read as message "JUMP AWAY YOU CHEATER" when the next level finishes loading).
It didn't say anything. Is the game playable without jumping though?

>>3998934
The game is designed without the ability to jump. All it does is let you sequence break a bunch of levels and jump around like an idiot.

Hey, this is kinda stupid but how do you move folders in a pk3? I have way too many and want to put them in alphabetical order but Move Up and Move Down don't do anything.

>>3998938
Oh, okay. Thanks for the reply!
Hectic seems like buggy level as well. I couldn't get mega armour because either it would
>zoom out of 1st person perspective to 3rd person and kill me
or
>couldn't hit the exit switch

>>3998945
It's not buggy, it's designed that way. It's a series of traps that are meant to kick your ass in unfair ways. Your reward for beating is to kick the games ass in unfair ways with a cheat menu.

just who thought the shotgun soldiers in new order were a good idea

>>3998958
the entire game is a cesspool of bad ideas. dual wielding is a very limited gimmick outside of corridors and aisles where you know a group of enemies await, even then a sole rifle mag can pull it off with minimal aim work.

stuff like the shrapnel shotguns and the sniper rifle are truly horrible. former's only purpose is for shotgunners to wield them and dish out very cheap damage to drain armor (which is fucking useless if you went the Wyatt route) and the latter's only worth for plasma mode, which sees little to absolutely no use outside of the moon base level.

the laser is a piece of garbage. the reticule mode demands you lock on to a target to deal max damage (i.e get peppered while trying to prep in to whatever it is you're trying to shoot at), and if you don't you're prone to waste the entire battery on single shots that deal fuckall damage.

the game *tries* to encourage aggressive gameplay, but if you play for a minimal amount of time, you'll realize there really is no need to go all in when you can go stealth and take as long as you want to clear out a room. the entire case changes if there's an armored soldier in the room, because your tactic is immediately reduced to taking out that one guy while disregarding everything else for a split second, in which you can get murdered at the turn of a dime because, you know, hitscans.

>>3999035

I still think the lore is amazing and the plot and animation work is great (even though the aesthetic is quite different from that of earlier games), I can appreciate the audiovisual side of it.

I guess it's all because I played it on death incarnate.

>>3999062
You could play nightmare difficulty with Russian Overkill.
That makes vanilla Doom feel like Hideous Destructor.

>>3999050
Just put a 4 way corridor. Players love those.

>>3999068
>Russian Overkill
>like Hideous Destructor

I don't have a reaction image for this.

>>3999050
Portal maze like that segment in Prey.

So far, the list of essential vanilla doom improvements:
Smooth Doom
Sound Cauking
Smooth Textures

Am I missing anything?

>>3999074
You seem to have missed the second part:

So, what exactly does the Doom Skyboxes mod do?
I can't see the difference.

>>3999098
>smooth textures

what does it do?

>>3999035
the game will always punish you with the cheapest tricks in the modern shooter book, which is why every level is literally littered with health and armor pickups; it expects you to absorb grand amounts of damage on every encounter which is why stuff like melee instakilling and health regeneration per takedown is implemented. dont be afraid to lose large chops of health and armor everytime you fight, armor wont ever be serious trouble because drops by mechanic enemies are plentiful and health is easy to come by.

the game takes solace in pretending it's not a modern shooter, but the mechanics of one are still present but introduced slightly differently so as to claim the gameplay is modular

>>3999138
it adds extra animation framed to stuff like water and slime

Just for curiosity who is Id Software's Lightning?

that's for lines
i need up/down portals

I'm playing Temple of the Lizardmen 4 right now.

Haven't played muhc of a Doom lately, but I don't think that enemies should hold back until they see the player if they definitely can hear them.

In the example encounter berserker behind the column held back as his bretheren were slaughtered until he actually saw me.

I've checked the level in Doombuilder to see if the lines are soundblocking and they are not - all enemies in that area should've been alerted by the gunshots, but they were not.

I also checked gun and enemy code and everything is fine with that too.

>>3999221
Enemies can be set to be deaf.

>>3999221
monsters can be set to ambush in map editors
meaning they get 360 FOV when they hear the player, but don't actually wake up until they see the player

>>3999221

Maybe it was just made by some dumb faggot. Did you ever think that could be the problem?

>>3999229
well, the author isn't sarais, so we can scratch that possibility

Some silly testing. Hold-crouch-to-ski works, but you'd need smoother terrain than this.

Planetside-DOOM-Tribes when?

>>3999239
>>3999241
I don't think the engine would sensibly allow Tribes style movement/maps, but the normal MSX dodge + skiing and the grapple will allow you to bound around big slaughtermaps with ease.

>>3999243
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Attaching the hook to a monster is easy, and it wouldn't be *that* hard applying the player's momentum to the monster and vice versa while accounting for mass.

The grapple doesn't reel in yet, but when it does it could perhaps be used to bully cacodemons in amusing ways (I plan on making bare fists the only weapon to allow punching while grappling)

YOU ARE HUGE!
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS!

>Zenimax

This is the same company with lawyers who insisted a game called Scrolls was infringing on Elder Scrolls, when it looks and plays nothing like ES, and recently forced the developers of a game called Prey to the Gods to change the name because it supposedly infringes on Zenimax's 'Prey' IP, even though it could not possibly be confused with Prey.

Just keep that in mind.

>>3999258
she's cute. who's she?

>>3999260
They also sent a C&D to the DoomRL author because of the name. Just waiting for the source ports to get hit next.

No, that would fucking kill one of Doom's biggest legacies

they stated already that it was them protecting the name, due to the US patents system fucking them

doomRL's case was because the author's Kickstarter

GZDOOM and other ports are out because they are fucking necessary to run modern ports, and Id loves us.

Fucking College Milennials

I've stumbled into new and spooky territory

>>3999271
Seriously, I have no idea what gave you the idea I'm him. He's helped me learn Blender but that's it.

>>3999275
Dragging something towards the player is easy, but making an object hover in front of you and look good when walking up stairs isn't.

>>3999261
Her name is Neema. I might make a boss monster out of her if I have the time.

Is there a Quake 2 port that adds shadows and sprite explosions without disgusting HD shit

>>3999248
How'd he btfo Facebook? I thought he was still working for them on the rift?

This guy just needs to go back to engine design. Make a fork of idtech and go from there.

>>3999287
Well, Q2 Starter with the pak0 file has shadows beneath models, but those aren't actual dynamic environmental shadows. Not sure why you'd want sprite explosions though. Remaining certain files for things like Q2XP can turn off the HD textures or the like.

>>3999285

Please do. I could make great use of these for sprite editing.

>>3999278
Hold up, If I was reading the article correctly, Carmack simply re-implemented code he designed and wrote while working under Zenimax.

In this case he did nothing wrong.
Concepts in programming aren't copyrightable , only specific implementations.

>>3999281
Maybe it's just me being too oldschool, but I can't stand that Blender doesn't have simultaneous 2D views and snap to grid action. But then it's very possible my ability to design models is just so out of date that I'm at fault here.

>>3999293
I was always wondering something about copyright.

So Valve leases the Quake 1, 2, and 3 engine to make Half-Life. At what point did the changes become significant enough that Source could be considered their own engine not bound by licenses? If I were to fork idtech3, how much would I need to modify the underlying code until I had something separate?

>>3999281
psst
Do this and you can turn anti-aliasing on which makes sprite details stand out better (!)

Oh and the less than (0.6) value is what you adjust.

>>3999295
>I can't stand that Blender doesn't have simultaneous 2D views and snap to grid action
It does. In the menu under the 3D view, check View / Toggle Quad View. On the same menu bar, there's a magnet icon to toggle snap and a grid alignment toggle to the right of it.

>>3999293
>In this case he did nothing wrong.

Uh, no.

If his contract with Zenimax included an 'nti-competetive' clause, everything he wrote while working there is Zenimax's property. Even if they didn't use it, even if he wrote it at home, even if it never made it into a product that is sold for prof, even if it was used in a product that is produced by a company not in the industry Zenimax operates in.

This is a pretty common practice in software industries.

>>3999309
Oh my, thank you anon. I was trying to look it up, and someone said that Blender didn't have that, only a 3D view for specific planes. That makes things a whole lot easier.

>>3999298

that is because id Licensed the engine, and they remade it into goldSRC, in fact Source Engine nowadays isfree of any kind of sue because The engine itself was remade from scratch and Quake SRC is free

also, releasing idtech src nowadays would suck it, because UE4 already took the entire market, and most companis decided to use their own Inhouse Engines, instead of licensing new ones, Like SE's FF15 engine, which is a heavily updated UE4, and Amazon "Cryengine" does better than Doom's Idtech6, in terms of performance, it doesn't need mega textures to look great, as seen in StarCitizen

also idtech6 still runs on carmack's code Mixed with Cryengine

>>3999318

>"After providing Hooper access to the locked premises, Carmack left Hooper unattended, free to examine ZeniMax confidential materials, at which point Hooper went alone into offices where ZeniMax maintained and stored confidential information. Later that night, Hooper emailed his contacts at Oculus disclosing that he and Carmack formulated an 'attack plan' for the mobile VR work that they would undertake together at Oculus, and which Oculus would subsequently provide to Samsung."

>>3999291
The explosions models also get a shadow and it looks weird

>>3999291
>Remaining
meant renaming
>>3999342
Weird, i've never noticed that before.

the doom 64 feature levels are fun

>>3999331
I was just thinking, you look through Quake's source code and Half-Life's source code and you can find some similarities. Obviously not everything's 1:1, but there's parts in each that are fairly close together. My question was more "how close is too close?"

I wouldn't really count idtech 6's as Carmack's engine, sure there's some of his ideas, but it was handed off to others after his departure. And really, I can't wait for Source 2 to drop because it feels familiar to me while CryEngine/UE/Unity feel pretty foreign.
