Are we chainposting now?

>>4362575

Heureka! Instead of actually using sprites with all the annoying sprite name limitations, I can instead use a flat 3d model weapon that covers the screen and use my "sprites" as textures on it.

Due to how model definitions work, I can use whatever long descriptive file names I want and also use something like FIRE A 1 for every single firing frame of every weapon. Just don't tattle to graf. Another bonus is that as soon as the game allows normal maps for models I can render some of those and have my sprites shaded dynamically.

>>4362394
Sorry, don't have it on hand. I just remember that as a really nice combination as suggested by someone else here a long time ago.

>>4362357
I dunno. I kinda liked both Q1 expansions Q2's The Reckoning.

They mess with the weapon balance.

>>4362684
the proximity mine and the laser cannon thingy are fine though.

>>4362597
that's a pretty neat thing actually, especially with the normal maps that would be pretty cool.

>>4362597
I'm not into modding, why don't you use the 3d model directly?

>sent resume
>another day without calls
I just want to be able to run nudoom

>>4362720
For starters I simply want the mod to be sprite-based (well visibly). Second, I'd have to put a lot of work into reducing the triangle count of every model that's too high resolution for game use, in particular since GZDoom uses vertex animations rather than skeletons, meaning every single frame basically contains the entire model. Third, it would still tank performance something fierce.

>>4362735
not anon you are replying to, but I did some torture tests long ago (around time GLOOME got released) and found out that models dont have to be more expensive than sprites, and were cheaper at multiple instances, so I would recommend using these for things that you actually want to be 3D to a degree without resorting to voxels, on the other hand I absolutely understand and support your decision to have weapon models as animations on a simple plane, vertex animation is pain in the ass to work with and doesnt look that great.

>>4362738
> found out that models dont have to be more expensive than sprites, and were cheaper at multiple instances
Could you give some examples? I thought gzdoom just conjured up models for everything and plastered "sprites" on them as textures anyway.

The only things I'm using 3d models for so far are the weapon sprites and special effects actors like tracers, lightning, shields and certain explosions. All of them are flat and have duplicated sides with inverted faces which apparently you don't need to do anymore.

>>4362741
its been long ago as you can guess from GLOOME I mentioned, but I made a 12k poly sphere and copypasted it around the level multiple times, it was a simple decorate object without any interaction, it was tested against some regular decorate object I dont remember, but it was also without any interaction, it may have been animated tho. well result was that models gave me higher framerate. game was running at hundreds of frames per second, so its not a difference I was going to experience anyway, but that was the conclusion I got to.

>>4362395
Hexenkessel did it by overwriting the d2e1 sky texture so other maps had the wrong sky; I added the other custom textures it used, if they want to use sky transfer and a different patch name I'll add it in.

>>4362747
I see. Thank you senpai. Means I don't have to worry about my spherical effect models' poly count too much.

>>4362758
people wrongly assume that high polycount = bad
what you should worry about is vertex density and transparent effects among other things
gzdoom uses opengl for rendering, so I dont know if following rule applies to it, but in DirectX games, number of materials applied to a model = number of times that model is rendered, so if you got a gun model that has two materials applied to it, one for metal parts and one for wooden parts, your model is rendered twice, which is hardly optimal. there are more rules like that, but again I dont know if they apply to OpenGL, another would be transparency, as engine gotta figure out what is rendered first, thats why transparent models are more expensive

>>4362773
Huh, I had no idea. There's a lot of disinformation being spread about these things.

But I really thought high poly count did inflate file size and vram footprint for models with a lot of keyframes in a vertex animation format like md3. Shows what I know.

>>4362783

use .md2, I unironically like quake animations with all that vertex jittering

>>4362750
I will do it myself. Are you planning to make a thread on Doomworld or such?

>>4362371

does this has the updated swamp?

>>4362783
higher polys obviously do increase size, but models tend to fit within a megabyte or less, pic related are files for a custom combine soldier I have for my hl2 mod, what really chews up Vram are textures and materials

https://youtu.be/46-Qb-Vav4A

>>4362820

GZQuake needs to be a thing. Also, Quake1 but with more shamblers and niggurath spawn running around in the game.

>>4362918
please quit while you're still ahead. its for your own good

>>4362921
I love that there's an SSG in it even though its doom1 (thats helps, it really helps). I know there's a Rifle and a GL in there somewhere but I haven't found them yet.
> ive examined the GL's stats and im not happy with it so I wont be using it... in terms of GLs it should work like the Q1 grenade not the SkT grenade.

My only criticism so far is...
Why arent monsters infighting, even zombies?
Thats not so much a purist thing but rather a core mechanic of all ID games.

I also wish the weapons werent fucked with, the forced usage of shell casings and sfx ricochets. Even if I packaged a Smooth Doom that only affected weapons id have to re-tune all of them to specially cater to this map pack.

Would much rather have GZBuild

Repost from previous thread;
If you were thinking of playing PSX DOOM but haven't been bothered to fight with getting it to work yet, then fret no more -- I've created a PSX PortaDOOM package: a pre-configured, ready-to-go version of PSX DOOM TC including the Lost Levels.

Just download "PortaDOOM_PSXDOOMTC.7z" from here: https://spideroak.com/browse/share/Kroc/PortaDOOM/releases/

>>4362991
>GZBuild
What is what though?

>>4363004
OpenGL and Zscript capable source port of the Build Engine, Capable of running build engine games like Redneck Rampage or Witchaven,

Never gonna happen since the only Build game to get a reliable source-port was Duke3D.

>>4363004
presumably a "what if" the gzdoom devs had started with the build source instead of the doom source.

>>4362849
I tried adding the patches and adding them to the patch table and texturex and it's still not running with the correct skybox; what needs to be done?

>>4363026
>>4362849
nvm, I got it

>>4363029
>>4363026
>>4362849
actually, nope
it's in the texture1 lump in the texture pack, and showing up correctly as SKY1 in the editor, copied directly from the .wad you linked, but still isn't showing up properly in game

I wrote up an expansion to the High Noon Drifter F1 help screen to have a second page, as requested, and...I dunno, it doesn't seem like there's not a lot of stuff that isn't obvious or could be found with experimenting. Maybe that's just me, though, creator bias and all.
For the folks that requested the second page of a help screen, what did you have in mind? What did you think deserved more explanation?

>>4363031
>>4362849
Also it looks like it replaces sky1; do other map authors using sky1 (AP02 - Dreneckcide, HexenMapper; MAP03 - Hallowpeen, Sarais) want the starry moon instead of default? If not then it's should probably get the hexenkessel treatment. I would do it myself but I'm short on time.

>>4362790
>I will do it myself.
Thanks so much! It's in and working.
>Are you planning to make a thread on Doomworld or such?
Probably not, as I'm not the actual organizer and this is basically an unofficial build so that people that want to play it but were waiting for the full maps compiled together can play them.

>>4362931
well just from that graphic i just found out that the boomerang blocks projectiles, the grenade can be dropped, and how the heki works.
As for me personally, i wasnt sure what exactly the radio was till i tried it out and i was confused that you have to access the inventory to switch between the dead man's holster and basilissa, considering you never usually have an inventory
I feel like the SSG altfire should be kept a surprise, though

Also the things i was curious about were

>>4363057
I like how the end of hallowpeen sets well for spoop_delete map-continuity-wise.

>>4363053
Weapons can be worked out, excepting only alt-fires or zoom (such as the bow).
I would focus on the pickups. Think of the title screens in 1980s arcade games where they would flip through a few pages that listed the types of enemies and the scores they gave and what bonus items did what.

>>4363057
Map03 can use any sky desired; but it does use Sky3 as a flesh texture in the map.

Any way to get Darkplaces to use square particles?

>>4362849

if you're using my sky texture may i ask you credit me (RjY) ?
otherwise i am very happy for you to use it -- as it means that even though i was not able to finish a map, i was still able to contribute to the project in some small way.
thanks!

yeah it was. if there's a stupidly long imagemagick command involved, it's probably me :). i didn't bother to credit myself at the time as i was going to use the sky for my own map, and would have taken credit then, but that didn't work out. but like i said, very glad someone else (i.e. you) liked it enough to use yourself. thank you for your kind words.

Well, I've already lost the map file as it wasn't saved. Nonetheless; I'd like to see some examples; after viewing a couple of the maps in the wad already; we can easily draw inspiration from there.

Also the icon in map03 was just a basic idea of "hey what if they used -you- as the bossbrain"? and you'd sort of have to go do puzzles and crap to damage it in tandem with yourself whilst it's spawning nuisances to interrupt you.

tl;dr what if we had an icon of sin map but with heavy use of inter-actable voodoo dolls as a gimmick (ae; pushing them onto unreachable buttons, shooting them across a gap, etc.)

he says when he hasn't played completely through the mapset. The final encounter would be an absolute slog without the rifle.

>>4363330
I would really like this. KDiZD has a lot of potential with all the details, but is very bogged down with the shitty encounters and unnecessary level add-ons

>>4363330
>>4363334

Meh I dont know, there are alot of enemies that are standalone things so removing the stuff that makes the map pack a problem doesn't seem to interfere with that.

Keep in mind this isnt a patch, its a re-engineered pk3 so it would require a full download, and loading it instead of the normal KDIZD.

However you'd load Smooth Doom after it, then probably the RemasterSFX if you're into that.

The idea here is making sure the two don't conflict and the weapons and all the native monsters get replaced by the smoothdoom.

The only thing im concerned about right now is whether the lack of Rifle Bullets is going to screw with the end-map screen script, im going to have to look through it to replace all such mentions with "Cells". The lack of a Rifle and GL does mean that the player will get a Plasma Rifle and BFG9000 instead.

(technically I cant even leave the rifle in there because it has the same name as the rifle used in smooth doom, so rather than try to sort that out im just going to give the player their plasma rifle back)

(Im thinking of making an alteration to the Rifle Zombie so it shoots a short volley of plasma shots instead of a rifle shot, and its dropitem will be a cell. Probably also translation recolored to have something blue on it.)

I also removed the recolored hell knight graphics from it, since technically doom 1 didn't have a hell knight.
> Instead the hell knight just extends from the Baron Of Hell but without any state definitions, that way it inherits all the Baron's states.
> Recolored using a custom Translation. With all the other properties that make it a proper hell knight instead of a boss.

Doom1 doesnt have an SSG so im just going to leave the existing (custom) SSG sprites in there and rename them. Then smoothdoom will just replace that.

If the last level is a slog because of lots of enemies to shoot through then either the SSG will finish that, or if you can get a GL then that is going to be your BFG9000 and it may become easier.

>Rifle becomes Plasma Rifle, near as I can tell the Rifle was only doing ~40ish damage per hit because of two bullet strikes that each do 10d3... since every two plasma shots cause 45 damage you're getting roughly 2x damage per Cell compared to a Rifle Ammo pickup. Unless those enemies are at incredible distances, and even if they are honestly, that sounds even more effective.

This game is pretty but plays kind of clunky. Which I suppose is the point, really, and on that it replicates it wonderfully.
Man do I hate every subweapon except for the knives, though.

Decide what the room's function was before it became a battleground. Was it a computer lab? Barracks? Mess hall? Give it some features that would suggest this function.

The drawback to this method is that it only works for manmade spaces.

Oh Batandy, you and your continued insistence on making perilous platforming work in Doom.
Those gear platforms move, by the way.

lighting. make the room dark-ish then add some wall lights or lamps that throw beams across the room or cast shadows. they don't have to be anything recognisable as an object. also wall coving is pretty nice just don't have too many bits sticking out to get caught on. a trim around the top corners where the walls meet the ceiling.

Hey, what are the main obstacles to making a fully functional GZQuake program? You could play not just Quake and Quake 2, but also at least several other games such as Half Life 1, and Laser Arena?

>>4363531
#1. several thousand hours (estimated). probably be quicker to code a new engine from scratch

>>4363531

So many.
Unlike GZDoom, in which all the games still work off of the basic idtech1 engine, all of the games you've listed work off of different engines.

>>4363531
Those games aren't all on the same engine. Q2 idtech 2 and GoldSrc are directly branched from Q1 idtech 2 and share a number of the same tools and formats, but they aren't directly backwards-compatible at all.

>>4363273

For GZDoom, does anyone know how to bind fullscreen toggling to a hotkey? Using alt+enter in GZDoom is a pain in the ass because it reads enter as a separate input. I lost my current progress in a game because I used alt+enter while in the load game menu.

FTEQuake exists

That would be the bottom of the fixed magazine.

The en-bloc clips are inserted whole from the top, holding all the ammunition together for fast loading, while also functioning as the magazine's feed lips.
The last round fired chucks out the empty clip and locks the gun open, allowing you to rapidly insert a new clip.

For a pre-WW2 gun it's really a pretty expedient and clever system, arguably made the most sense for a weapon of it's kind for the era, you can shoot and reload substantially faster than any other infantry rifle in common use at the time.

Is there a way for GZDoom to have demos of any sort run similar to a vanilla launch?
Whether they are converted or just auto-generated.

I saw a script that played Doom for you in GZDoom so that got me thinking

how do you return a string in a function/script?
it seems like gzdoom refuses to do anything that involves returning more than 1 char in a return statement

>>4363857
In ACS or ZScript?

>>4363870
ACS

>tfw Graf tells you the bug you found isn't a bug, so you just go ahead and fix the bug because you're not incompetent, except you fix it in ZS so that everyone who wants to use the fix will spread around ugly hacky code you wrote
>>4363872
Not very damned easily, that's for sure. You'd be better off hardcoding logic based on return numbers. ACS essentially can't return strings, so I believe the only real option is to make a lump and index through it.

>>4363876
got it, time to make a 256 long if statement check

>>4363879
Well, what are you trying to do? Does it actually require a string or are you only going to return a few different values? Switch statements may be ugly but they do work.

>>4363883
checking a 256 element array if any of them exist, if they exist print out their string value

>>4363889
Printing it? You can use Log(s:<thing); if you just want them in the console. No reason to go outside ACS in that case.

>>4363891
well i should have specific it has to print it via hudmessage

HudMessage(s:get_item_name(item_num), s: " x", d:pinventory[i]; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 500+i, CR_RED, 0.2, 0.21+i*0.05, 0.03);

>>4363894
Can't you just access the appropriate field of whatever struct you're analyzing in get_item_name() inline? This is difficult without seeing more code, but you can probably do it.

>>4363898
there isnt a defined list anywhere, the # came from a DECORATE item

on the world, you pick up a item, DECORATE executes the ACS script to add it to your inventory array (it cannot have a string since DECORATE does not support parameters to be strings)

so ACS takes the number, increments the value in the array in its position
ex: pick up hp potion, its value is 2 on the element list, so pinventory[2] += 1;

this wouldnt even be a thing if i could just output the strings from DECORATE

>>4363910
https://zdoom.org/wiki/StrParam ? I'm not sure of it would work but you might be able to get something through with this. You could also always make a string array 256 long that corresponds to each item, then just use that string.

>>4363916
yeah i can do that except heres the kicker, i want it to have a total_items count as well

so the solution is simple right? just make a 2 dimensional array, inventory[name][count], except ACS doesnt support interchanging types like that

so now im just sticking to having it do count only and i already know the positions because im going to hardcode them

thank you based gzdoom

>>4363919
Well if item 2 is potion, in the name array have entry 2 be "potion", and in the item array have the count, then just display both as part of your message. Make 2 arrays, no need to make a 2D array of width 2.

>>4363923
forgot to mention this is all part of the global array count, and i cant waste a valuable slot like that since the maximum is 64

it has to be global anyway since i need every function to be able to access it

>>4363928
Are you sure this mod isn't more suited to ZScript? Honestly it may be worth learning it. I didn't want to dive in either but once I did I didn't regret it.

>>4363935
at this point ive gone too deep into ACS and i really cant think of any of my solutions in zscript like i can in ACS/decorate, i just work a ton faster with this

>>4363937
When you're hitting the limits this hard it may be worth it to swap some stuff over. Stuff like this is trivial in ZS, you can just create a global holder object with some methods for doing whatever you want. Now, writing with HUDMessage specifically is a bit of a pain, but there are other ways to convey into to a player. In fact, you could probably just use ACS to enumerate the names, and leave the rest to a ZS object, then hook them together with ScriptCall.

I gotta get to bed but consider it if you've got the time.

>>4363946
i probably will have to swap once i get to real hud shit
but for now just moving more shit to arrays when i hit the max is the most effecient bandaid solution in ACS

Nevermind, of all places i found it, it was on know your meme.

Those fusions should be real monsters for a mod or monsterpack

>>4363850
One of the inherent problems with GZDoom is that it has no interest in demo support. Every new version will make demos recorded in previous versions no longer work, and any demos recorded in vanilla or prboom are never going to work in the first place.
I'd recommend just getting PrBoom+ or Eternity, as they both are demo playback friendly, without being strictly vanilla.

>Is everyone just tired of hearing the first 15 seconds every time they test the latest iteration of their maps?
pretty much this i think. overexposure.

>>4364919
Part of it is the testing, part of it is playing a single map that could be a lot nicer if it just used ANY other Doom track but that.

Of all of Bobby Prince's renditions of rock and metal, I think D_RUNNIN is the weakest, it really fails at capturing the tone and tempo of Hangar 18, which I think is a very good song.

Finally someone is calling out Bloodite's absurd ironman runs

What's the deal with the PSX TC? Is it just for the nostalgia factor? I've never played PSX Doom, I downloaded this TC, and it's just Doom with really simple architecture, garish colored lighting everywhere and an ambient soundtrack, is that all? Why is it shilled so much?

I'm using this package, fwiw:
http://www.mediafire.com/psxdoomtc

>>4365148
It gives doom a different feel compared to the PC. It's entertaining.

>>4365152
I dunno, e1m1 looks like garbage with it, half the stuff is missing, why would you want to play Doom like that.

>>4365148
The music is super overrated in my opinion, but it IS very different and I guess it sets an atmosphere.

The maps are a different balance, some Doom 2 enemies appear in Doom 1 maps, there's a cool echo/reverb effect in many places, which adds a lot to atmosphere. A bunch of the sounds are replaced, like, the zombies sound awesome.
There's the addition of colored lighting, also there's some exclusive maps.

There's definitely some appeal, it has some good stuff, also has a bunch of mediocre and outright poor stuff (mostly the 'Final Doom', release, which is a couple of TNT and Plutonia maps, then a bunch of Master Levels, as if anyone fucking wanted that).

I think it's up to nostalgia for a lot of people though.

>>4365148
>>4365157
I can't imagine the lighting looks good unless you play it on an SDTV.

As to why its cool, it changes the atmosphere from a sort of heavy metal action to a more suspenseful horror just by changing the music.

I like the original PC soundtrack slightly more, but the PSX version is legit.

>>4365164
>it changes the atmosphere from a sort of heavy metal action to a more suspenseful horror just by changing the music.
Only just barely, as it is.

Though I'd imagine those converted PSX Doom maps would fit Shut Up And Bleed pretty excellently in terms of tone (and monster count).

>>4365157
E1-E3 was based on the Jaguar port which was stripped down much more than was necessary for the PSX. There's 166 levels between PSX DOOM, Final DOOM & Lost Levels, so it's not all like that at all.

>>4365164
>it changes the atmosphere from a sort of heavy metal action to a more suspenseful horror
You mean Doom 64, right? That one's actually good. The PSX one, however, feels like a downgrade all around. Huge empty rooms with few enemies. The reverb effect kinda emphasizes how empty it is.

>>4365176
I think the reverb effect helps make the map feel more claustrophobic, like you can feel how tight the space is and how the sound bounces around in there.

I haven't played Doom 64, but it's soundtrack sounds exactly the same and the levels are seem to be pretty gray.

>>4365183
All of the sound effects from Doom PSX were used in Doom 64.

>>4365142

i'm getting caught in the crossfire

>>4365274
so no more secrets, huh?
have to say i'm not really 100% on the new character, but we'll see how he plays.

I have an idea for making quick-button melee viable: a melee attack has a high chance of putting a monster into pain/stagger state, and while in such a state monsters take extra damage from bullets fired at close range. As an abstraction of the player taking careful aim at an exposed weak spot.

That sound good? The mod uses a damage system where attacks have both damage and penetration values and monsters have armor, so it would allow a weaker weapon to put the hurt on a heavily armored enemy if the player gets close and is fast.

>>4365534

I'm currently on a diet, and sometimes, when you're having the munchies, being able to drink something sweet but without the calories is reassuring and incredibly helpful.

>>4365529
Home made from 48 hour cold rise dough. I buy pre-made tomato sauce because there are high quality ones available. Then mozzarella, strips of smoked ham, fresh sliced portobello mushroom, and some basil and oregano. I bake this at the highest temperature my oven can handle on a slab of polished granite(that's been heated in the oven for a fairly long time), so it gets browned on the under side.

>>4365529
I wonder what kind of pizza John Romero eats.

>>4365546
Spic here. My drinks do have sugar.

>>4365549
If you have an electric oven and it has a Broil setting (top coils) try this:

* Cook the crust for a few minutes before taking it out and adding the sauce/ingredients. This gives the crust a resistance to permeability of the sauce.

* Cook about 5-8 minutes until the crust is done.

* Turn it on Broil and let the top coil bake and brown the cheese on top - but be very careful to keep an eye on it (technically leaving the oven door open wont slow down cooking with that much thermal radiation). As soon as you start seeing brown spots its done, by the time you're able to turn it off and get it out it will be perfect.

>>4365547
>Go for the "Zero" branded versions then, they have sucralose and its a step up from the usual diet drink
That's what I do, yes.

>>4365529
I just have cheese on toast, pizza is too fancy and foreign for me

>>4365585
See this is what I'd expect John Carmack to say.

>>4365560
Because of the (enormous) rock I use I don't have to do any of that. It's a good idea if you only have a steel tray or grid to put your pizza on though.

~5 minutes high up in the oven is fine for the thin crust I prefer. Just have to put it in there directly after putting the sauce and ingredients on it.

>>4365590
He's into Ferraris though. You don't get much more fancy and foreign

>>4365596
No doubt. It's that weird quirk he had. He never went fancy or foreign in any way unless it was food, cars, and spouses.

Half of a reload animation left. Then a variant with the slide locked back and a flick of the slide release, then finally for gun autism purposes a topping-off animation where a single cartridge is inserted into the chamber (accessed by holding down the reload key).

>>4365667
where do I do it then? I thought I was supposed to open the file via notepad, write stuff in there, then save it. I'm just tired of having to manually type in those two settings everytime I boot up the game.

>>4365670
Oh that's what I meant. It ought to work then. Strange. Is the FOV cvar defined twice in the file perhaps?

>>4365678
oh snap, I recall there was one called 'fov_adapt'. Jesus I'm a retard, if I got rid of that maybe it'd work. still doesn't explain the models forcing themselves to be smooth everytime, though.

>I've kind of lost interest in it but I don't want to let you guys, or the people on the zdoom forums, down.

Don't keep making something because you think people will be 'let down' if you don't.Take a break, play some other Doom mods, or play some non-Doom games. The inspiration that gets you to pick it back up and finish it could come from just about anything.

I only just heard of it yesterday. I had the PSX version of the game years ago when PS1 games came in those DVD cases rather than the smaller jewel case. Its cool but Doom is definitely meant to be played on PC so I can see the need for a mod just like for Doom 64.

By the way how the hell do you get this thing to work? It isn't intuitive to use at all.

Can you strafejump in SoF 1/2? Seeing how they're on the Q2/3 engines respectively.

>>4365274
I wasn't posting this on /vr/ because I wanted to keep it a surprise for you guys, you double nigger.

>>4366071
I seem to remember a lot more gore in that game.

>>4366096
You can circle jump and double jump but there's a gap between jumps.

>>4365686
nope, still not working. autoexec refuses to remember the two commands.

do I put the two under the vid_restart command at the bottom? cause so far I've been them in alphabetical order and I haven't had luck with that either.

>>4365753
I carry gzdoom and quakespasm on a USB drive I can just plug in on whenever and play right away.

>>4366194
Why is there a vid_restart in your autoexec? That shouldn't be there. You are editing the autoexec.cfg file in your \id1 directory, NOT the config.cfg file, right? They're separate things and not interchangeable; config.cfg is for the engine to save your settings to for settings that CAN be saved, autoexec.cfg is where you stick things you want to always be entered that aren't normally saved (like FoV, texture mipmapping setting, model interpolation).

How does one make WWII G.I./NAM fun?

>>4366201
yeah, mistyped. sorry. still weird.

>>4365986
I don't like them and think they ruin perfectly nice looking and well designed levels. Every slaughterfest is just tedious to me.

I take it the Halloween pack was not released at all on any other site? Cause I can go about uploading Hexenkessel on the ID archive then.

Aside from the jpeg artifiacts, does this look like it could work as a gun sprite? I'm trying out gmod posing as a source for sprites, as I'm making a mod starring a skeleton (way late for halloween) and I'm wondering if this would even work. The gun is low and looks small, but I'm afraid of making the gun super large and contorting the limbs of the ragdoll too much.

>>4366252
you could make the main character a revenant

>>4366252
>skeleton with a gun

oh FUCK

>>4366294
bruh

>>4366307

>>4366252
Unfortunately it turns out that using gmod posing for sprites, at least in my case, doesn't turn out very well. I'm not a graphic designer or spriter by any means. Does anyone know a source for some doom-style skeletal hands?

>>4365967
>>4365963
>>4365953
though also keep in mind if your mod surpasses x+1 amounts of downloads, people will whine about how you're not still updating it if you decide to drop it

>>4366312
Good news! Through some hacky nonsense (Running the game in a window and using printscreen because steam's uncompressed screenshot feature is borked) I got a somewhat okay looking pistol sprite. This is technically ripping, though, and people on the doom discord are complaining about it.

>>4366308
BONES.

>>4366350
>[horse noises intensifies]

>>4364529
It's literally the worst Doom has ever been. If you absolutely need an 'official' experience than use doom2.exe under Dosbox. Doom95 was shit in 95 and is beyond inexcusable now.

>>4366204
Bring in the supernatural and don't focus on the obvious big battles

>>4365613
What kind of weapons will this mod have?
Will the shotgun be good?

More touch-ups.

>>4366478
n1 anon, whats the actual weapon sprite like?

>>4366487
Nothing terribly special yet, but I've made some bayonet stabbing frames I think could work decently.

My PC is packed down and I'll be in a car all day, I'll see if I have something presentable tomorrow.
I really want to do some stuff with the chainsaw too. Won't maybe look all that special but I'd focus mainly on animations and behavior.

Also I fucking forgot I was doing the Arc-Vile's spine and have lots of work to do, worse is that it maybe isn't so consistent looking.

>>4366012
Nope. Dunno who that is.

>>4366348
Who gives a shit what they're saying. That looks good and I want skeledoom.

>>4366450
>What kind of weapons will this mod have?
In short: the near-future kind found in Neill Blomkamp films or the Alien series. Open to suggestions.

>Will the shotgun be good?
I think I want several guns that work as a shotgun with alternate ammo, like frangible railgun slugs. Have not decided on the design of the actual shotgun.

>Bones in Q3A/QL actually says "I've got a bone to pick with you"

I thought this was just a meme

>>4366558
Bone puns galore. Also, one of Hunter's nicknames is Shemale.

Guys does this mod have a name yet?

>>4365986
i like them, but i don't play them under competn rules (for want of a better description). i turn the skill level down, or use patches e.g. to speed my weapons up or make the boss monsters friendly

>>4366115
not him but, i don't care about the surprise, i am a fan of your work and would rather follow what you're working on, so tell me where i can do that please because i miss your posts here.

>>4366793
Fuck it. I'm gonna just post this stuff here again cus I'm certain it'll happen again.
I'm working on adding the Doomslayer for GMOTA, he's going to be the only character with a full set of weapons and more traditional doom style gameplay, compared to the other heroes and their two weapon limits. The plasma rifle replacement is nearly finished, all that's left is the BFG (berserk rune), and his subweapons.
I'm still waiting on some sprites for the cyberdemon replacement too, though I might have to take matters into my own hands.
Even with me spilling the beans here, I still have surprises in store for you all, just not as big as this.

I'm still massively fucking annoyed about this though

>>4366348
>people on the doom discord are complaining about it
i don't think there is such a thing as a doom discord. not officially anyway. unless i've heard wrong of course.

>>4366803
and while I'm in the process of bean spillage, have some doomslayer weapons:

Wrath Caster rocket launcher: https://webmshare.com/qNWO9

Hydra Repeater: https://webmshare.com/9rQYa

>>4366803
oh okay that's cool but why? i mean there's already been like a dozen doom4 for gzdoom mods already. i guess you must feel you have something new to distinguish yours from the rest. perhaps it will be more simple than all the mods with complex upgrade systems? i don't care for those as they kind of need you to play multiple maps in a row while i prefer to pistol start. so i prefer simpler mods like high noon drifter and of course your own combined_arms. sorry if i seem like i'm sucking up too much.

>>4366893
I've been wanting to take my own spin on the Doom 4 arsenal ever since I got a chance to screw around with it, and don't worry, the Slayer's arsenal is going to be simple, I don't want to fuck with upgrade systems, I just liked the altfires the Doom 4 weapons had. I also need to retool the weapon pickup system for all of the characters anyway, so that gives me a chance to make this work right now.
I've also been itching to make some more conventional-ish weapons for awhile now, so I can kill a lot of birds with a single stone here.

>>4366904
okay great to hear, i'm once again super hyped for GMOTA: The Next Generation.

Started work on the altfire attack for the Inferno rifle, though the behavior's a little weird right now, I need to work the kinks out. But I'm glad the animation looks good.

>>4366348
>people on the doom discord are complaining about it
think of the children

>>4366889
we better get to use that sick ass demon sword you see in the end of doom 4

is it just me or are secret walls in blood absolute bullshit? half the time they're not even distinguishable at all from the usual texturing.

the life leech cranny in E6M1 is fucking retarded.

>>4366965
>a gun that fires skeletons
when do i get to give Plutonia a taste of its own medicine!?

>>4366965
>Inferno rifle

Turn them into fire skeletons.

>>4364260
Woah what wad is this?

>>4365205
This doesn't make sense at all. How the hell can you tell?

>>4366186
That caco is happy AF, its like he's on the beach tossing beach balls at you kinda happy

>>4363003
Thanks but what now? Can I just drag and drop into gzdoom and it works?

Is the pick up sprite for MetaDoom's water pistol the exact same one that was used in Doom 2 rpg or just a faithful recreation?

>I'm working on adding the Doomslayer for GMOTA
...why? gmota should be about fantasy medieval action, not doom 4 in doom.

>>4367185
He said so?

>>4367287
Its fantasy spin on the doomslayer.

>>4367185
1. Many common PC doom sound effects replaced with PSX versions in BD.
2. Extremely faithful recreation of PSX animated hell sky for IoS/HoE:SP mapsets.
3. BDv21 map altering scripts adding secret exits to PSX exclusive maps to Doom2 maps that had them in PSX Doom.
4. He literally objectively fucking said "I grew up on the PSX version" during the last dev diary you cumguzzling knobrider >B^V

>>4367313
>the map enhancement can also add secret exits to existing maps

boy I'm sure looking forward to when this breaks the fuck out of everything

>>4367313
What is wrong with growing up on the PSX version?

>>4367336
I don't know. What makes you think there's something wrong with growing up on the PSX version?

>>4366746
I don't think so, I haven't heard anything of it yet so far.

>>4366449
>>4366204
I think he meant the specific games called that.

In which case, you don't. I mean, they're based almost entirely around the outdoors and no engine before Unreal could really handle the outdoors properly, of course they're gonna suck.

Just play some better Build shooters like Duke, Shadow Warrior or Blood, they use the engine much better.

>>4363458
Would it REALLY be Castlevania without platforming?

What franchise do you want to see get the wad treatment?
My pick is Splatterhouse. That atmosphere and lore would fit the shit out of Doom's engine.

>>4364149
Is this a dungeon crawler in Doom? Damn.

>>4367313
>cumguzzling knobrider >B^V
you seem miffed.

>>4367452
Still waiting on Hexen Souls. It looked so cool.

>>4367479
Damn, man. Where the shit did that go?

>>4367452
Someone already made some Splatterhouse 3D games, actually.
They're pretty damn Doom-y.

So is thing on top of the box meant to be based off that cross thing next to the gun?
Either way, thanks for posting this.

Here's a gallery of the sprites for the pistol for the current unnamed skeleton project. It's a little tedious, but for rips, I actually like the results.

>>4367570
why not just use HLMV to render these?

>>4367582
Because I'm a moron and don't know how to use HLMV, and these aren't just first-person animations. I'm posing ragdolls in Gmod and taking photos to make these, which is probably the least efficient way to do it.

>>4367589
gee anon, that sure does look hard!

>>4367596
I never said what I was doing was difficult. Sorry if it seems like I was.

>>4367512
This entire thing is based on a reliquary, container for relics in catholic faith.
Because reliquaries were/are meant to act as shrine on its own, they were usually designed to resemble a miniature chapel/church.

Hence the look.

>>4367608
Makes more sense.
The HWP should be a returning weapon in a modern Doom game.

>>4367613
Not grimdark enough.
Not to say this isn't true for old Doom either.

>>4367615
I meant like a secret easter egg or something.
Surprised hell in the new Doom didn't had shit like the evil eye from the older games, because it could have helped to make hell more terrifying.

>>4367617
Aside from the figures, new Doom takes itself too seriously.

>>4367621
This; and also why I disliked it a bit.
Old-Doom has a very cartoony/silly/distinct artstyle that gives all the monsters an endearing yet still deeply indimidating feel.

This was not present in the nu-doom; trying to hard for "gritty realism"

>>4367484
>(apparently GZDoom version of these was in the works, but unfinished)
Bummer. I'll check out Splatter 3D, though.
