Not only. The texturing and the way buildings are detailed, as well as a knack for architectural realism in plases where it needs not to be.

Anyway it looks good, but something feels off about the texturework. That black granite-like texture looks out of place. Maybe it would be better to replace it with a grey concrete like picrelated.

Do you guys have a handy guide for modding Duke Nukem 3D/ Build Engine? I want to make my own total conversion/game in that engine but unlike Doom there little useful information about it, and if there is it is very well hiden in niche pages. I want something that covers from creating weapons and NPCs to do do my own HUD/ menu. If it isn't in a single master guide, then a collection of guides I guess.
I really, really want to play with Build 3D but it's getting tiresome starting with it, I'll probably switch to doom engine if I don't find anything useful soon.

i do every map from a pistol start. as many as i feel like until i take a break. i keep a note of which ones i've done. i reduce the skill level if one proves too troublesome. eventually i end up with a list of which maps i've done on what skill level. i usually start at map01 and go forwards but other times (especially if i've done the maps before on a lower skill) i will jump around randomly.

Pain Elementals become a problem fast if you don't deal with them. Thankfully, you don't necessarily need to divert your firepower to them to keep them in check, just bully them and abort their children.

Arch-viles are *fucking terrifying* and really versatile against you, so you gotta deal with them for some peace of mind, let off the fucking tension and nerves. Being stuck in a space with no cover with a vile is horrific, being stuck somewhere in the dark with a vile you can hear but not see, but you know is walking free nearby and looking for you, that shit's beyond unbearable to me.

Arachnotrons aren't generally too bothersome in most situations, but their walking and gunning is loud and annoying so I often try to kill them soon to get some fucking peace and quiet.

Hitscanners can be trouble, generally it's the shotgunners because if you're close enough and they have line of sight, you're guaranteed to take a good hit, but they're also typically pretty fragile, so it seldom takes too much time or effort to deal with them.
Chaingunners I find aren't quite as much trouble as they deal their damage over time, so if you hurry behind cover (pillar, wall, another monster), you can interrupt the damage they do. And again, they're reasonably fragile.

Hitscanners I actually find to be good assets, particularly those with machineguns, because they are very prone to start clusterfucks with everyone else, which can really buy you time and net you opportunities at times when you most need them.

Yes, those are things I've been doing.
I don't really know why weapons were organized so jankily in the original.
Also I'll be consolidating a lot of weapon functions. Like there's more shotguns than are practical or necessary, also lots of superfluous pistols. It'll be different from Immoral Conduct in quite a lot of ways, though also similar. I initially just kind of started out making a few weapons centered (because the mix of centered and angled bothers me), and just a bunch of minor tweaks that I liked.
I don't know what I'll call it yet. "Immoral Conduct: Milsurp Edition", "Immoral Conduct: Centerfire", "Immoral Conduct: Parabellum"? It's kind of hard to actually top a name like Immoral Conduct because it's short, recognizable, sounds cool and suggests things.

I really got thrown out of gear earlier this fall because my computer died and I had to spend money rescuing things from my hard drive, coupled with iffy compatibility of programs and jankiness of a new computer+OS, etc. But I'm really itching to get some things done, and playing some Doom again.

Well, there'll only be one shotgun, it's centered and pumps fast, tight spread. Has a loud and pleasant BANG noise.
If I can figure it out, I want to make it reload two shells at a time, like in Doom 3.
I was going to delete the Uzis and transform them into a new single subgun, but playing, I actually found that the twin Uzis, with a bit of a higher rate of fire, kind of fit the role of the Super Shotgun, in a way, so I'm thinking that it'll replace that, and in the chaingun's slot the CAR15 spawns.
Thus, in Doom 1 (and replacement episodes), where the SSG has no spawns, you'll either hope to run into a subgun zombie who can randomly replace a shotgunner (which isn't rare, actually), or you'll rely on the carbine for machinegun duty and have a lot of pistol ammo to fall back on if you need to.

The twin Uzis will thus survive conceptually, because they're actually really good, I just need new graphics for them.

>>4463570
Yeah, it was originally for a Duke Nukem 3D TC, Platoon TC (that I think might have eventually become Nam), drawn by a guy called BadKarma. It kind of fit the goofy style of it. Cory Whittle drew an M203 on it for his stuff.
It's really cartoony and doesn't really look that good, for that matter, what features it does have were incorrect for the Vietnam era (and this got worse in Nam).
I also found it really awkward to use, the burst was annoying and delayed, the arc of the grenade was weird, thus I replaced it with a thrown hand grenade, and it just started spiraling from there into something I actually thought about developing further and releasing.

>> No.4463648

That, and I already have a centered grenade launcher that's really badass.

The thrown hand grenades are really versatile because they bounce readily and showers the general area with fragments which ruins pretty much anyone's day, even your own if you don't take care to learn it's range.
I plan on making this just a quick button (with an animation, of course), that's available with each animation.

The launched grenades have no real frag effect, partially because of balancing reasons, that shit would just be goddamn ridiculous, and partially because with just a typical explosive radius, this is rapid fire explosive weapon you can advance with like the normal Doom rocket launcher, just mind the explosive radius and you can rush with the thing and lay death, not worrying about stray fragments breaking your stride.
There's also the chemical gas, which is it's own brand of rape.

I'm going to replace the Flak Gun because it's really completely impotent as a replacement for the BFG9000.
Anything that throws just a little bit of slaughter at you renders the Flak gun useless, because it can't put out massive hurt fast enough to matter, it's completely dwarfed by the launcher and hand grenades, like there's encounters in TNT Revilution where you're supposed to use the BFG9000, and the Flak Gun just can't do what's needed. It can hurt you if you're not careful, but that's a smaller problem compared to the fact that it can't hurt enemies enough, rarely do I kill myself with it, mostly I'm killed because the Flak isn't enough to kill who's trying to kill me.

It can really hurt one or even a few strong monsters pretty good in certain situations, but if there's many it won't cut it, and it's actually pretty dangerous to use against the big bosses because you kind of need to get closer, and they can sort of 'stomp' at you, while also putting you that close to the bouncing flak puts you at risk, so you need to be careful how you move, which isn't good against the cyberdemon because just one or two (of his REALLY fast) rockets is enough to completely destroy you at full health, you need speed when you're close to him.

I kind of dislike doing this, because back when ICD was new, and I was a little shit, I thought the Flak Gun was really cool (because it's a super deadly version of the Duke Nukem shotgun), but one thing I kept running into in years of quiet amateur modding is that I kept just throwing in everything and the kitchen sink, and I really have realized over the years that bloating your arsenal with lots of superfluous weapons is bad, it kills flow, and I can't find a good spot for this weapon that the others don't fill better.

>>4463695
Like, ICD originally has too many pistols, there's the 1911, the silenced 1911, the twin 1911s, the Beretta, and then the Revolver, the last two are really superfluous, and the silenced pistol shouldn't have been a separate weapon, the Revolver doesn't do any substantial amount of damage to justify it's use, and the Beretta is not only rare to find, but pointless if you have the Uzi, which does everything it does better.

In my tinkering in years before, I was a lot worse at this, too many different pistols, too many different shotguns and subguns, etc. Stylistic clash (angled vs. centered, etc) was really bad too.
They weren't identical, but often close enough that they needlessly filled the same roles, often with their own ammo pools.
I'd put polish into them, make sure they felt cool, but that didn't matter, because they'd ultimately weigh you down as a player.
Potentially this could have been solved with a system where you only carried one of every type and you'd drop and swap weapons, but that I feel doesn't fit Doom, not the way I was going at it (also I wasn't smart enough to code something like that).

The absolute worst example of arsenal bloat I think you can see in NeoDoom, there's just way more weapons in that than what's practical (I think maybe 30+ different weapons and then a bunch of usable items). I suppose there's also that Aeons Of Death thing, or whatever it was called, where it takes near every fucking weapon and monster from all the big 90's FPS games and throws it into a horrible clashing blend that's a crime against aesthetics.

I always wondered, what's the point of creating a special effect that complitely obliterates not only your enemies, but your frame rate as well.

You want to marvel at the destruction your weapon makes, not angrily wait until your game begins responding to your controlls again, while you can't see WTF is going on, especially at how your enemies are getting melted, which is the whole point of an overpowered gun..

Working as intended. I try to make maps I can only beat 1/2 to 2/3 of the time with a pistol start. I'm also trying to make players "earn" ammo by limiting on-ground ammo pickups. I honestly feel like you end up with too many shells at the end of the level and may add some more closets someplace.

I think a bit more variation in with heights could do well here, you started off well with the first room but then the rest are quite similar - flat medium-sized square-ish rooms where the monsters come from a single direction.

I agree with that other anon about the blue key trap too, those pillars are prime position for a pinkie/imp trap. Also, the blue door seems liable to breakage, looks like the sector in front of it is tagged too?

You've done well with the general progression from pistol to shotgun to chaingunner reveal and I quite like it as a map01, much better than I was expecting honestly, now lets get it textured!

With EDF you see monsters getting obliterated, while your framerate drops. In Doom all you get is a flash of white/green/whatever and get your screen blocked.

>>4463990
It still has exactly same effect in the distance, bc. Doom has no LOD dropoff all the particles that block your view of the area close up, block your view of the blast zone when you observe it from a distance. The effect is still the same - your frame rate tanks, you don't see your enemies getting nuked - all you see is a slideshow of the effect in motion that blocks everything.

Doom should have proper particle code, not the humiliation we have now. I.e. all those effects tank frame rate so much because each "particle" is an actual actor, whose behaviour gets processed every frame. Wouldve been much better if we could get custom particles that could have just the basic animation in them and an option for simple bounce physics that do not interact with anything outside of level geometry and thus completely skip the checks for interaction with other actors. (+nointeraction only skips the passive checks, but not all)

Updated. Check the replies. Don't remember if that includes the fixed blue doors. I feel like a fucked the balance quite a bit, but depending on how the rest of the mapset goes, I may leave it as a pseudo slaughtermap.

More or less suffers from the same problem, sure you've buffed up the monster opposition but again they're usually just trickling in from a single direction making them easy to pick off - you never really catch the player off guard. Heres an idea: on the door that leads to the blue key room change the linedef so that it immediately lowers all the pillars behind the player and hide a switch in one of them that opens the door.

The z-buffer works with the data it gets. The more data there is, the more it has to work with.

Are you actually trying to replicate EModE conjugation or are you referencing something? Because it would be "hast", not "hath".

"Hath" is an alternate inflexion for the third person singular, so it replaces modern "has". The informal second person singular used "hast".

From wikipedia: The perfect of the verbs had not yet been standardised to use uniformly the auxiliary verb "to have". Some took as their auxiliary verb "to be", as in this example from the King James Bible, "But which of you … will say unto him … when he is come from the field, Go and sit down…"

At least I discovered I can play without saves, but dying at the end of half the maps is really frustrating, especially when its due to the map suddenly springing a few Barons on me in a tiny space.
Memento Mori seems to love that trap.
Also, replaying such maps feels more like a memory game than anything else, because as long as you remember what's coming and how you beat certain parts there's normally not much of a problem redoing it. Which makes me wonder why saving mid-level is seen as a bad thing here in the first place, but whatever.

Yes, bullets hurt like shit in Blood, and thus you want to either run for cover frequently, or move like a demon (I like doing both), you generally can't afford to get shot like in other games.
Caleb happens to be extremely limber and agile, he jumps high and moves and crouches and get up with ease, he's a springheeled motherfucker, almost a bit rubbery when he gets up in speed. His movement physics are a bit peculiar, and you can't really replicate them in in GZDoom (hence why he can't be easily fit in Samsara, because he can't be accurately replicated), they're also different from how Duke Nukem moves, so trying to rebuild Blood in the DN3D engine can't really be done either.

Enemies can't quite keep up with the player if he puts the effort into moving fast, and a lot, by jumping and crouching a lot and really fast, it confuses their aim and they'll miss you with their bullets. Your best fighting is done when moving as fast and as erratically as you can, chucking dynamite left and right (particularly for turning zombies into fishbait, so they don't get up), filling the air with lead. Proper play of Blood entails you being a One Man Blitzkrieg, and it's extremely exciting when you get the hang of it.

I had the idea a while back that the Strogg were supposed to create a massive conflict with the human race to draw their armies away from Earth so that Shub-Niggurath could be reborn and take over the planet while the armies were marching on Stroggos. That would be the reason why the Strogg insignia is the phoenix bird. And that Quake 5 would have three protagonists: Kane, Bitterman and Ranger. A gigantic slipgate would swallow the entire Earth and transport it to the universe of Quake and the heroes would need to follow, find the evil goddess and return the planet to our reality. Possibly by hijacking their mega-slipgate accelerator and using the entire planet Earth to telefrag the Quake homeworld out of existence.

it should also be noted that the elder gods aren't entirely evil; they give the slightest modicum of a damn about the humans as they're their primary resource, but most of their goals usually aren't to our benefit; So they don't want us dead, but they most certainly want to exploit us; especially our brains. They will occasionally intervene to protect such a valuable resource and food supply. So while they're not nessisarily evil- they DO terribly enjoy crazy things.

This would also be a good way for tying the whole IdVerse together: Hell invaded first, and once Doomguy kicked it's ass, she immediately took notice and investigated the planet that was otherwise unknown to them as a prospector for the other Elder Gods.

Queue heaven getting into contact with the UAC and subliminally setting everything up; this way the Humans and Demons co-evolve. Humanity has proof that demons exist and motivation for being it's best- and doesn't need to kill eachother, and hell gets to expand it's enviroment and change; assimilating Earth's culture, biomes, and more. This gives them the foundations of a society and (un)-civilization, as they use people in their constructs, and spawn more demons that are changed by this conflict and their environments. They also conscript humans into Arch-Demons of similar namesake to the Icon of Sin- literally "Architecture Demons"- such as R'bkiks, Skissuw, Mah'ldi and more who's sole purpose isn't to fight anything, but to give hell more places to be hell in.

Kind of like this, yeah. Heaven's almost ready to say "fuck it, wipe them all out" before noting the benefits. The last time they intervened like this; the church went horribly corrupt and tried to undermine and twist the words of everything they worked on, so they just took a back seat and didn't do anything.

tl;dr: Heaven opened the floodgates, expecting Demons and Humans to wipe eachother out, and more or less left the phone off the hook. Out of pure coincidence, they fixed the issue. The angelic word for "demon" and "human" is, surprisingly enough, loosely translated to Negative Siphon and Blank Slate, respectively- making the Demons and Humans both their creation.- Demons being made to have a place for heaven to shunt all of it's negative prospects in the search for the meaning of purity and "good"- and Humans were created as little more than a free-form experiment, given some basic guidelines, and then left to their own devices while Heaven took some notes.

Once the products were starting to spoil, they figured to toss them both together in a single disposal bin for convenience- but the initial results have been intresting, them then going on to gently shift the scales when required. This allowed Abbadon to overtake the tech in ZDCMP2 and turn it into the Hell-Generator: Hell was nearly wiped out and their sun was dying, So, they started terraforming and being on the defensive to rebuild themselves and re-fuel their sun.

Even though this prospect initially failed, they took the technology they had established there and spread it across as many of their systems as they could, and even secretly stashing it inside of the UAC's code. This way, any time they invaded, they could hit the computers, pull the code, and basically slap down some prefabs before radiating outward. This eventually caused the Revilution.- Hell had grasped the concept of industry properly now. Expect more factorys.

Whilst the initial set of Arch-Demons exist- those not as legendary as these become simply a group of shadowy entities called "The Architects"- (basically a copy of Krinkel's "The Employers", seen animated here, and stylized like pic related.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAugzoe-UrI

But there was one all of them feared. They called it the Omnipredicated. Heaven didn't know what it was, but only the Demons had the capability of keeping this thing hidden and kept away from everybody's knowledge.

Suffice to say, The "Arch-Demons" and "Architects" are just a means of trying to make an in-universe, gameplay and unintrusive means of inserting the actual mappers into the maps to interact with the player as higher tier enemies. They typically flee when "killed" unless the actual mapper in question leaves the community or dies for real, in the case of Ty Halderman- Even when the arch-demons are killed, their essence/manifestations can be destroyed, ejecting them out of that realm and into the Epidermis of hell- where they sit in council and oversee Hell's next actions- this sort of lets modders and such slip into the roster too.

I'm looking through Weapon Resource Wad to try and learn some decoreate and I see this

The thing is, last time I saw, all the explosion special effects are done from the death of the main projectile. THis weapon does not do that, instead Projectile and special effect are 2 different actors. The base projectile has no frames wit hthe explosion happening.

And 2 actors are not linked in any way in the decorate, nor in the other file.

Are there any correlation (like automated substitution) between <Actorname> and <ActornameExplosion> actors? If so - it is not documented anywhere. Or is it and I just havent seen it? I don't know WTF is going on here.

I know how the pipebomb works - gun shoots grenade, grenade gets a TID, detonator kills everything with TID when pressed.
What I don't get is how rocket/grenade goes from death state to explosion, as there are no explosion frames defined in it (like they normally would), instead all explosion frames are defined in another actor that is not linked to the original in any way in the code, except for the name.
And there is nothing about "actorname" relating to "actornameexplosion" in cases of explosions anywhere in the wiki or anywhere else. This is the first time I see this shit.

Midtextures would be your best bet, as would lowering the ceiling.

Some experementation on practical sprite/particle performance impact, using A_RailAttack with 1 pt sparcity to spawn actors/particles in a straight line in ~2240 units long corridor
Actor is a single-pixel sprite that holds for 20 sec then dies
Rails are basic rails with no coil, rail stays for 20 sec, drifting at 0.01 speed
Particle limit is maxed out (65535)
Particles are square

To bring FPS from 240 down to 60
7 actor rails (~15680 actors) (while frozen - no ingame logic running) 60-61 fps
6 actor rails while not frozen (13440actors ) - very basic ingame logic running, 59-60 fps
27 particle rails (60480 particles), freezing/unfreezing game logic has no visible effect 60-61 fps
Round particles result in 58-59 fps
Smooth particles result in 56-57 fps.

For some bizzare reason +nointeraction flag SOMETIMES increased the impact of the actor rails, to the point when spawning 6 actor rails resulted in 50 fps instead of 60, consistently during the play session. (i.e. spawning same ammount of actors results in same -worse- performance)
Different playsession with exactly same actor results in ~10 fps gain at the same circumstances.

Still, it seems that 1 drifting particle is about 4 times as efficient as a single 1-pixel actor used to emulate a square particle, applying alpha/smoothness/roundness to particle has insignificant performance impact.

Conclusion: rewriting a particle system to allow useage of basic sprites and animations, as well as purey math-based trajectory algorithms (with no interaction) would in turn allow creation of much more efficient basic explosion and other special effects.

Also learning how to spawn a lot of particles and making them move in a desired way in current condition would allow to severely reduce performance impact in place where particle-imitations were used.

Just need to cobble up the code for reloading, both manual and the immediate reload on an empty gun, and that should be the most of it.

I think that by "switchhunt" people mean that the switches are too distant from the area they actually affect and there's no clear indication where they might be. Urania is a megawad that suffers from this too.

Most classic maps are pretty intuitive. If you see a locked door and a long, unexplored path on the map, chances are the switch/key to open the gate is at the end of that path, most maps are like that. I haven't actually played ED so I don't know if it suffers from unintuitive progression like Urania does.

>> No.4465779

Ah yes, the boss levels are also good examples of boring levels.

>> No.4465785

>>4465749
You can.
You still have switches and keys, but eliminate the "hunt" part by following the guidelines Romero himself established long ago:

Show the door before giving the key - many mappers make doors/switches/whatever that requires a key colorcoded, but not explicityly so you miss it or do not realise it is coded, or it is not as memorable, so when you get the key you do not immediately associate it with the door/switch that require it

Indicate what the switch did either visually or audibly - the reason why people hate Hexen puzzles is that they barely indicate anything - "something opened somewhere" is not a good indication. Many, many maps are guilty of this.

I am playing through Sunlust right now, and as much as I like the visual design and all that, I have to say this: if the secrets are easier to find than the actual path you are supposed to take, then there's really something wrong with the way author designed the map.

>Indicate what the switch did either visually or audibly - the reason why people hate Hexen puzzles is that they barely indicate anything - "something opened somewhere" is not a good indication.
Eternal Doom is essentially guilty of this, there's little logic to the progression beyond just hoping you pressed the right switch at the right time, it doesn't even tell you something happened, like Hexen does (mind you the end effect is the same).

>I am playing through Sunlust right now, if the secrets are easier to find than the actual path you are supposed to take, then there's really something wrong with the way author designed the map.

>It'd be cool to be able to "sneak" like SneakyDoom, where light levels influence how far away enemies can see you and if they lose you they enter a search pattern or investigate your last position, rather than just homing in on you
I considered this but found that it didn't play that well and wasn't substantially different from just normal Doom, at least for Babel's style of gameplay. I may implement JPF-style wandering for the special difficulties just for shits and gigs though. A* would be nice but I'd prefer not to melt any PCs for people who aren't running a new-ish rig like mine.

I am already planning another mod, though I'm also working on a novel at the same time so no promises on a release date. The new mod may contain AI behaviors like that though, depending. You'll have to wait and see :^)

Resolution scaling never worked quite right for me: As you can see on the video, the weapon sprite movement is not done quite right - it doe snot move on the grid and is not quite the right size, which result in some lines getting doubled, and its ot the same line all the time, but it moves (see the webm).

Another thing: scaled multiplier only works with bilinear filter, and not with integer (using few latest versions of GZDoom): so it either does nothing at all, or makes everything blurry which is the opposite of what I want.

I still do not what how to make this look right.

I want to file a bug report but I doubt Zahl would listen

As far as effects go, I'd say maybe something on the level of Dead Marine or SmoothDoom would be nice, not too intrusive, just refined vanilla assets and animations and some better sounds.

From what I remember from wikipedia, there are four stages to this effect. The first one is "think they're hot shit when they are actually bad", second is exactly this, third stage is "are good, but don't realize it yet" and the final, fourth stage is "know they are good". So it might still apply.

The problem with sound replacers is that I had to split the shotgun into 3 distinct sounds so anything changing that won't work, but overall my changes weren't that complex and it wouldn't be hard to change stuff around a bit.

Sorry for late reply, it was 4AM when you posted and I had to get to bed.

Okay, fine, but surely tried and tested mods aren't going to do that stuff to us if we've been using them all along.
From what I gather, there needs to be something malicious in the mod you're loading to do anything, so only new mods could pull this shit now the secret is out.
Because to hell with only using new versions when it breaks the old mod menus.

Going Down gets spooky at times.
Hellbound too, because it's fucking dark everywhere.

Lainos makes some great atmospheric and kind of depressing maps, like Deneb Colony and 51LC, or Doxylamine Moon: Overdose (my favorite), excellent atmosphere and exploration that makes you feel lonely and empty, absolutely amazing maps.
Thing to note is that these maps are pretty damn detailed, and won't play the best with some gameplay mods (particularly anything that replaces decorations and stuff, as he often likes to put in a bunch of trees and bushes and other stuff).

If you want to make things extra gloomy, Shut Up And Bleed has an extremely bleak and oppressing atmosphere, it really changes a lot of things up, however it's not particularly well balanced, so it can easily become frustrating. It won't run well with Lainos' maps because of how it replaces so many things.

He didn't do it purposely. In fact, there were a lot of checks in place that wouldn't allow a modder to do that under normal circumstances.

Chocolate Doom is a good starting point for SP if you haven't played the originals.

For pwads in single player you might as well just use gzdoom, in the GL or software renderer as you prefer. I really prefer being able to play in high resolution and with mouselook.

For multiplayer, you want zandronum unless maybe if you're at a small LAN party with mates.
