>>4467631
That's called z-fighting, where two faces occupy the same spot and fight for which oen gets drawn. Don't think so, at least not without changing map entity properties (IIRC QS includes a couple fixes for the more glaring ones by default, like the hidden lift in E1M1); when the maps were made it wasn't a problem because the original exe used a different sorting method where world brushes are always drawn in front of brush-based entities, but GLQuake jiggered that up.

>> No.4467675

You know what would be neat? If in addition to "Joy of Mapping" we made "Joy of Modding" where everyone who joins makes a small piece of a gameplay mod that replaces enemies and weapons.

Yeah, like for people who can't do spriting/coding we could maybe pair them up. Or allow outside sprites in just because it's far easier to learn to code than to sprite for most people.

Well if course there'd have to be a general theme and rules on what kind of power level everything was to be at. I don't think mixing those kinds of things is inherently bad though, depending on how it's done.

It isn't ray tracing, it's shadow mapping.

Here's a basic explanation of shadow mapping:

A camera is placed at the light source. It covers all 360 degrees around it, only instead of rendering the textured environment, it renders how far away all of the pixels are from the light source. This render is available to all shaders. If any given pixel is farther away from the light source than the depth map that the light source produced says the light traveled, then it simply isn't lit by the light source.

2 things:
1. You don't quite seem to get a good grasp on what it exactly is. Mark decides which maps get the MES treatment. Not the mapmakers.

2. Personally, I'm fine with it. Yes, I realize it makes some maps unplayable *cough* Plutonia *cough*, and Mark could've just made a separate map pack, but I don't think that would've allowed him the flexibility he wanted. Probably the entire reason he made the MES instead is because then there's an option to toggle it.

Nothing will fix spaghetti code, though.

There was actually going to be Three of them, in a project called "Omen":

The three Omens they were called, the destroyers of worlds.
The first, the Harbinger of Doom. The Harbinger signaled the end of a world. A rock, with as much brains. The Harbinger was a blunt weapon, forcing a world's inhabitants to wield their most powerful weapons to counter it. Deployed at major population areas, the Harbingers cause chaos and destruction on epic scales. Even if a world manages to defeat them, the resources spent doing so would cost them later. Despite it massive size, the Harbinger's brain was little more then information storage. As their range of targets begins to thin out, Harbingers that cross paths had been known to inadvertently kill each other.

The second Omen, the Adjudicator of Hersey. Lacking the raw power of the Harbingers, the Adjudicators make up for it with a most dark intelligence. When the Harbingers had completed their jobs, the Adjudicators would hunt down and kill the remaining Harbingers. Feasting on the Harbingers, the Adjudicator absorbs all the knowledge the Harbinger had gathered on their reign of chaos. With this information, the Adjudicators begin their quest to quell pockets of resistance the Harbingers were unable to handle. Unlike the Harbingers, Adjudicators commonly worked in packs to shepard their targets.

The final Omen, the Mother Devourer. When Adjudicators had silenced the remaining strength of a world, the Devourers would descend. Gorging themselves on the aura of pain and suffering left behind in the wake, they would absorb all the biological material a planet had to offer. As their bodies swelled, they birthed new Harbingers and Adjudicators, to begin the cycle anew.

Because it's cramming a whole bunch of shit into old maps which weren't designed for it, like putting bars and shit blocking your view where it's not supposed to be. A lot of it clashes too.

What you end up with is original maps, with their original geometry and detail, now having a load of stuff crammed into there for detail, without the rest of the level being adjusted for it. It's jarring to look at.
If all it was was just like rain effects for the early jungle maps of Plutonia, I'd honestly been alright with that.

Netcode could be vastly improved, but there's some inherent differences to how Doom (and ZDoom) just handles things that means there isn't that much you could do without redoing everything from the ground up.
Lots of monsters/actors doing sight checks over lots of linedefs is just inherently taxing for the engine.

Which isn't to say there aren't things you can optimize, but lots of monsters and linedefs slowing your game down is kind of inevitable the way things work.

BloodGDX is still being done, and gets updates about every month. The guy gotten a hold of the stolen Alpha code and uses it to reverse engineer code of 1.0 (meaning what he has is 100% accurate to 1.0 version, ASIDE from renderer), then uses that to reimplement features of 1.21
In anyway, that is the most accurate way you can get without getting your hands on actual 1.21 source, which is extremely unlikely.
Only problem - he can't open his code because it is technically based on stolen code, and thus he can totally get sued by Atari if they so desire.

There are a few multi-stage boss fights in Winter's Fury, and they are done considerably well.

What LWM did however, is not a multi-stage boss, but a Boss that is actually several actors glued together and that can be disabled/defeated separately.


>>4468090
Zandronum does this. I don't see why GZDoom can not do this. Besides, The main problem here is that you can not set up a server in GZDoom, because one of the players IS a server (at least takes that role) in p2p connection. What needs to be done is for this role to be relegated to thee actual Server instead of a player, and then allow things to get disengaged from the synchronisation - client-side stuff, mostly for special effects and scripts that only affect the user - then relay results to server without the need for server to do the calculations himself - that is basically what Zandronum does.
Lots of monsters/actors doing sight checks over lots of linedefs is not a problem, because it can be safely relegated to server-side only, because the only reason it is a problem now is the way GZDoom has to synch absolutely everything.

Basically the doomguy of demons, incredibly ancient and powerful, humanoid and maybe a bit taller than doomguy, incredibly intelligent and able to speak properly, lets just say he's the guy that voiced the slayer's testaments.

Looks visually similar to the Icon of sin, maybe those could actually be attempted demon reproductions of him, but he's so monstrously powerful that they just can't downsize them properly or get anywhere near what he's capable of.

For a bit of detail coming from my head, lets just call the guy Satan for simplicity's sake.

I've always found the most amazing boss fights in games to come from bosses that move and generally work like the player character, like Dante vs. Vergil in Devil May Cry.

So why not do this, make him feel like a boss that's a skilled ( depending on difficulty level ) player in a deathmatch situation, with his own unique weapon set, plus some special abilities.

Three things come to mind that could make him nasty and challenging to deal with, the teleport movement of the summoner, an amped up version of the icon of sin's ability to summon demons, but empowering them over their normal capabilities depending on the demon. and his most devious ability, the arch-vile's explosion attack, except he can MOVE AT FULL SPEED WHILE DOING IT.

This would force you to stay incredibly mobile and always have some method of breaking sight with him, and keeping it broken despite his movements, which would only be very slightly slower than doomguy not counting the teleport.

I think the "doomguy of demons" would less about raw power and more about wisdom and lies. Basically everything down in the 9th circle just decieves, confuses and makes you work against your own interests. But they never force you to do anything, just incentivize you into doing something bad.
That's why I don't think the Wretch who helped to forge the Praetor is actually a demon per se. There has been no evidence to suggest that it's some cunning plan to destroy Doomguy which is what a demon would do. I think the Wretch is Death himself and made a simple mathematical calculation. Earth has a finite supply of souls to reap. Hell has an infinite supply. If Death wants maximum slaughter, he need only to equip Doomguy.

A guy made a mod that abuses ZDoom to its fullest, making it glitch in very specific ways that require a lot of knowledge of how ZDoom functions to pull off.

None of that works in GZDoom, and GZDoom even crashes completely at Map03, so to prevent retards from running it under GZDoom and then telling "WTF it does nothing special and crashes at certain level, 0 starts out of 5" he implemented a special map that all GZDoom port starts with that says "Go use ZDoom" and does not allow to play further.

Graf took offense because a modder told people to use ZDoom instead of his GZDoom, right there in his mod, and prevented use of his perfect GZDoom.

He threw a hissy fit, and when the mod won Cacoward he threw another hissy fit and threatened to go onto hiatus and stop GZDoom. He tried that shit before, but didn't really do it, so people told him "Do it, faggot", and he did.

I don't post here often anymore, but I guess I should show that off a bit.

The attached gif is an example of the sawnoff altfire animation being played ingame.

Since ZScript recently added support for loading lumps, I wrote a bunch of code for interpreting binary data, and started loading Blood's data formats: PAL (palettes), PLU (palette lookups, like translations) and QAV (HUD animations).

It loads all of this data at startup and tries to animate it as closely as possible to Blood itself. There are limitations currently though: rotations don't work (GZDoom limitation, I have an open feature request to fix that), pixel scaling is a little off, I need to write interpolation code so animations are more smooth (select/deslect animations are major offenders here), among other things.

It's shaping up pretty well though. This is by no means a Blood port, so don't get your hopes up if that's what you're looking for from me, but I think it'd be really cool if some sort of community Blood TC could be spawned from this upon completion.

I did beat it. I also beat Deathkings, and you know what? I fucking hated it, the level design is objectively atrocious, and combat is extremely formulaic.

There's nothing fun about Hexen, not the exploration, not the 'puzzles', not the fighting, not the weapons or monsters or items. It's the worst aspects of Eternal Doom, yet worse, and like Eternal Doom, it's only real appeal is the aesthetics and atmosphere, which isn't enough to carry a game.

With only 4 weapons per class, one of which is just the basic bitchslap and another the room sweeper, it would be hard for them not to be balanced

As much as people complain about the switch hunting, I find the thing that hurts hexen the most are the monsters. They're either more obnoxious versions of Heretic monsters or have completely redundant roles. Way too many melee enemies that take too long to die, and those constantly spawning ettins that you have to slowly kill by punching and backpedalling because it's not worth wasting ammo.

The port of Doom 2 would do that, because unlike the port of Doom, where lots of levels were cut or truncated to fit and function, since it actually was a port of the engine, Doom 2 was actually a customized version of an engine made specifically for doing FPS games on the GBA.

Through work and trickery, all of the levels of Doom 2 are actually present, and for the most of it, quite intact. Some larger areas are shrunken down for performance (usually more empty ones), and the two largest maps, Industrial Zone, and The Chasm, were in fact split into two maps each, Industrial Zone A & B, and The Chasm A & B.
Because of the fact that the levels were more vast, and since the engine wasn't working the same way, the port of Doom 2 would have the enemies simply not detect or react to you if you were like, maybe 30ft to 50ft or so, and in fact forget you existed if you moved far enough away from them, this would be necessary to make sure it wouldn't overload the engine, you couldn't have too many enemies active at once, IIRC a few places had visual blockers added in one or two places as safeguards against having too many enemies active at once.
The port of Doom 1 did not have this feature of dropping off AI, but it did have some visual blockers added here and there to avoid overload, the game had smaller amounts of enemies though.

Overall, this would let you have pretty much the complete Doom 2 on the GBA, even the Icon Of Sin and the Wolfenstein levels (even if IOS is kind of nerfed by the short AI range, and the Wolfenstein levels are mildly censored), the gameplay is mostly intact, though the short range of the AI can be pretty easily exploited.
Downside to 2 is that you can't turn off light levels, so slowdowns are more common, in the port of 1, you can turn off varied lights to improve performance in most levels. Both feature the green blood, because of the fucking Germans, but there's patches which can be applied to the .rom to make it properly red.

>I feel as if a feature like that could possibly solve the high monster count issue in source ports.

I don't really think that would be a worthwhile solution, many larger than life maps of modern Doom map making rely on things like having monsters in triggered teleport boxes outside the map, or having enemies lay fire from long distances. For instance, Deus Vult 2 would break with such an effect applied.
I think a better idea would be a sourceport feature where a limited AI range could applied to monsters as flag, like the Deaf flag, this would allow future maps made for that port to allow for some degree of optimization, and potentially, even use it as a feature of it's gameplay.

This could be a tricky feature and I don't know if it'll work correctly, but it'd be interesting to put it to trial. The big hurdle would be getting past the [NO.], Gross Salt wouldn't be interested in even trying it behind closed doors.

There's no reason that an anonymous forum can't be made.

In fact, basic chan board software can be copied, and we could have a board where we basically just copy the /vr/ setup, hell, we could hypothetically have a board on a site like this where we have nothing but threads like these if we wanted to.
I personally just think a copy of /vr/ where we'll just have the general rule that a game should be like 20 years old to be featured in discussion would be a decent substitute for a worst case scenario.

That's the most difficult part, however, assuming we would just start out with like a /vr/ board, with basically just a few hundred people posting, for a time at least, hosting wouldn't get too expensive yet.

Crowdfunding could potentially help, like a Patreon, where people can voluntarily give 1 to 10 USD a month to help support hosting, possible with the incentive of pass-like features (no captcha, faster cooldowns, nothing extravagant).

That's what I mean, I'm thinking, the nearest future where 4chan would be indisposed I figure could maybe be in 2 years, and in 2020, we would then slowly be letting in games that by that point are genuinely very old, for instance, old classics like Deus Ex wouldn't have to be snuck about or have people hope the mods don't take those threads down, and there could be some growth in discussion over time, as people wouldn't be forbidden to talk about say, the GBA library, despite the fact that the system is older than some of the people posting.

and that leads to the question of "what audience would you want?" this place is interesting since it's got such a high content creator to regular player ratio, so if you want to keep that quality, most gaming sites are out. the only place I can think of where you'd get new blood of that type is by going to indie game dev forums, but I dunno how many of them would actually mod for doom rather than just keep on doing their own stuff.

Many have an interest in retro games, if presented with the idea of toying and playing with the GZDoom engine to do things, at least a few would be willing to tinker, and a fair few would be interested in playing both the original game and probably the user content.

The issue comes again to anonymity.

We could have that one sort of 'code of honor' where if you're creating content that people are interested in, you could use a tripcode, but that using a trip or name should generally be discouraged for most discussion that isn't about your content and it's development in particular. People who frequently namefag/tripfag for no good given reason would hopefully be shunned.

I think a reload animation can be a way to balance that, potentially with a slowly/moderately regenerating ammo pool to reload from.

Though I personally am just fine with normal ammo handling with pistols, Duke Nukem 3D gave the pistol it's own ammo pool separate from the Ripper, and since you'd use the pistol the least, you'd build up a decent supply of pistol bullets that you could fall back on if you had to, the pistol also not being useless for what it is.

Rendering is not the main problem with GZDoom performance, Actors are, or rather the way GZDoom handles translating Decorate and ZScript.

Enforcing Vulkan will cut off anyone with not-up-to-date rigs. I have Geforce 660 Ti, and while I can play most games at 50-60 frames and medium-high graphics (like Wolf New Colossus, with some tweaks), whether or not the game will run wih a Vulkan is a gamble - half of them do, half of them don't, even with the drivers up to date. Aforementioned New Colossus only uses Vulkan and it runs fine, Talos Principle runs fine on Vulkan too, but nuDoom crashes when I try to select it and Ashes of the Singularity does not even start with it.

Heretic is a reskinned Doom, and that's why it is great - because Doom on its own is great. The resason it succeeds where other Doomclones failed is because it copied the Doom formula completely, then added a few extra tweaks to it without spoiling the main compound.
I also find stock levels to be much better designed than the stock levels of D1/D2 (sans E1).

In fact, right now I am trying to cobble together a proper fantasy-themed weapon mod for it :P. frankenspriting the shit out of the available resources and learning Decorate/ZScript.

Interestingly enough, 16 units = 1 foot is the same measurement given in this popular architectural study. It's not canon, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding Id's Quake 3 write-up where they talk about map units and how their measurement's been the same since Wolfenstein.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been struggling with mapping for it. It's been where 100% of all of my mapping efforts have been lately and the net gain of it has been miniscule.
I was really hoping that by forcing myself to do maps and going public with it, I would get better at it. Turns out nope.
I've never been good at mapping and now I've got this big anchor around my neck that's gonna kill me if I can't do it, so, fuck. Still, I'm optimistic--I'm still gonna force myself to do it because I need to improve, and I need to be able to do things myself instead of relying on other people.

Taking it 1995-style is a good idea, thank you. Can't go wrong with the basics.
I've also been using a series of blank mono-color textures, which have made it...much easier to do because another thing that's a huge mental hurdle is how fucking ugly everything looks. It's so, so, so damn easy to just get stuck on a single room and start detailing it/decorating it instantly.

>blank mono-color textures
So long as you've got textures in mind to replace them with this is probably fine. Half of making a Doom level look good is picking the right textures for it. Modern detailing is all fine and good but in reality it's totally unnecessary for just making something aesthetically pleasing, detailing is just the cherry on top of a multi-layer ice cream cake. Since the first part of good texture picks are picking colors that work well with each other, using mono-color textures may be a good way to get that done.

Just remember that it's damned-near impossible to make something look realistic in Doom's engine, but you can use the abstract nature of low-res graphics to allow the imagination to fill in the gaps. Sure, IRL a light pole might be a nice beveled cylinder with a perfect sphere on top but in Doom you can use 8 linedefs and 2 textures and it's still recognizably the same thing and looks decent. The issues in Doom levels come more with inconsistent detail, not usually a lack thereof once you pass a certain minimum threshold.

Blood runs like ass on Dosbox, but you should be able to run it reasonably well at 640x480 internal res coupled with Dosbox's x2 integer scaling on any semi-decent rig.

One problem though - if your framerate gets too high, the Hand monsters will choke you instantly and you won't be able to throw them off with USE mash (both their damage and usemash required to repeal them are tied to cycles/fps).

Another option - use virtual machine with DOS installed- I remember seeing Blood runing in such setup on an weak ass athom netbook with good framerate.

What HUD do you guys prefer playing with? Status bar, fullscreen HUD, gzdoom alt hud, or do you like to use custom huds instead?

keep in mind this is 100% guessing, but he name dropped scroton, ijon, and bloax.
scroton and ijon are still fine and working on stuff, being cool and shit. ijon's got dakka (a y y y y), scroton's contributed to 300/vr/. bloax has kind of dropped off the face of the doom map.
likewise, of the three, bloax is shit at taking criticism of any kind, which is ironic given how much he loves to shit on other people, and has had temper tantrums about things before.

we can't be 100% sure due to the nature of anon, but i'm guessing bloax
shame, he was a good artist, when he didn't smear everything in purple jizz

I've been using the fullscreen hud lately, but I quite like efforts to the hud like those in Final Doomer and Weapons of Saturn.

fullscreen HUD. Really not a fan of the classic bar HUD; obscures too much screen space for the amount of info it provides.

scroton is cool

yeah, he's had moments of weirdness, but who the fuck hasn't
you'd be a moron to either completely ignore them or to think they define the whole of who he is now

>> No.4471575

I don't like how in Combined Arms, you have to "turn on" the SSG replacement, before firing it, which kind of affects the pacing.

PMSX is originally made by MagSigmaX but seems he has left the community, kodi is actually the one in charge of the mod now.

Not really 'in charge' per se, he's just picked it up and is doing some neat stuff. Shame it can't be posted at ZDF because MUH BERMISSIONS. I mean really, if you've been out of the community for the better part of a decade, somebody else really ought to be able to pick up your project, and bring it up to modern ports, as long as you make it clear what work is yours and what isn't, and post a download to the original wad so people can compare.

I always found the photorealistic corpses jarring, to the point where I experimented with the zombieman & marine corpses to make décor that looked like it actually fit the game.
