What are some mods where the demons have guns? (Former humans don't count)

I played Doom2 for the first time the other day and I fucking love it, the shotgun, and how people can change it and make it look like a different game altogether. I'm just so mad that I grew up so close to it but never played it until now.
I have so much lost time to make up for.

>>4515880
>I played Doom2 for the first time the other day and I fucking love it
Well guess what, Doom 1 is a billion times better since it has actually competent level design and no shitty annoying enemies like the archvile.

Dude inquiring about modding from previous thread here. Unrelated to the game I want to make, but while browsing resources I noticed there are no multiplayer doom mods for PVE. Is this impossible with the current source ports?

>>4515867
DO NOT

>>4515882
As annoying as the Archvile is. It's not the same without them now

>>4515880
The image in the OP is more up to date

>>4515890
I know, I was just using the image to show how fucking late I am

>>4515882
I will after I finish Doom 2, My friend was telling me about 2 so I just started from there. He was telling me about the secrets and showing me the schematics for them.

currently on my first play through of classic doom, but i have one question, should i be getting secrets or should i just enjoy it and go for secrets on my second play through?

for the first couple levels however i went for secrets so i could get the chaingun early, but i hate it cuz the youtube videos spoil the level

>>4515903
>the youtube videos
what the fuck

what

the

fuck

>>4515903
Just play blind, thats what I'm doing. It's more fun that way, looks for secrets in the second play through.

>>4515903

they are called secrets for a reason, anon

I politely invite you to close youtube

>>4515880
where did u get this? is it old?

anyone here hooked on thrash metal now cuz of doom soundtrack? soundtrack is so awesome and i cant stop listening to their irl counterparts

>>4515880
/vr/ use to like brutal doom? i fucking hate brutal doom!!!!!

>>4515926
The earlier versions were a lot more bearable.

>>4515880

>>4515896
Need an animated version of that pic with Doomstanza hitting an imp's fireball with the chainsaw.

>>4515882
What happened with Doom 2's levels anyway?

>>4515884
There are quite a few, though they are all for Zandronum since it has much better client-server netcode as opposed to GZDoom's client-client one.
Not MP-Specific, but co-op oriented is Complex Doom and its uncountable addons, and quite a few other mods, but CD is most popular PVE right now.
MP-specific There's quite a few invasion-style mods where players kill incoming waves of enemies, while parts of the level open up each wave.

Log onto the Doomseeker to see what people play now.

>>4515880
Welcome back, my bro. Take your dip in the modding community and prepare to never play another game ever again.

>>4515928
And a lot less mainstream so it wasn't uncool to like it, too.

>>4515880

>Error: You must wait 3 minutes 25 seconds before posting a duplicate reply.

fucking hirohito

>>4515880

>>4515930
>>4515945

>>4515943
Easy there, Marquitos.

>>4515939
Romero selfishly made a level editor for himself and made the others a) do most levels, b) try to figure the editor out on their own and c) gave them a tight deadline. So you have 2 or 3 dudes trying to do like 20 levels in a short ass time hence why they're garbage.

>>4515923
Maybe because I started playing Doom at the age of 7 (in '95), and it was my one of my most favourite (but not only) games throuhg my whole life, I was always a fan of all things metal.

>>4515923
Here. Not a part of the doom soundtrack, but I recently played through a mapset while listening to this and had a good time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbryL946O7w

>load up colorful hell for testing
>sv_nomonsters 1 so I don't have to deal with enemies
>instead, literally every enemy becomes purple or better

>>4515968
Oh, that's a neat trick, should try it out.

>>4515968
always wondered, is there a way to make it so only one color of monster is spawned?

or does this command churn out any variant depending on number?

>>4515981
I have no idea; it should actually turn off monsters like it should, but colorful hell breaks that horribly somehow

it was a rude awakening

>>4515984
Maybe it was intentional, as a sort of punishment joke?

>>4515849

That only proves that UT4 exists only to the whiny UT99 bitches stopped with petitions and emailing Tim Sweeney to make a UT sequel, no wonder why that shit looks like so much a simple UT99 remaster, i tried contribute around 2015 once, they replied my sounds weren't too UT99 for their taste, i quit right after.

How would you fix the Icon of Sin and Shub Niggurath boss fights?

>>4515185
Strange Aeons with High Noon Drifter, has a special compatibility patch and everything. Hell, HND itself goes into magic at the later weapons.

There's also Heretics of Doom, it even has an internal texture set that turns everything fantasy.

>>4516005
Both fights: make the boss attack the player, not his minions.

>>4516005
How about we give Quake episodes 2-4 bosses instead

>>4516015
The Icon of Sin can attack you, sorta.

>>4516013
Does the patch still work with the latest versions of HND?

>>4516019
No, it sends its minions against you. So does Shub.

>>4516017
I wanted a dragon. I know dissolution had one but that fight was pathetic.

>>4516005
I just now noticed that the teleport orb ranger has in champions is the same he kills shub niggurath with.

>>4516026
Term made it himself so yeah it's good to go.

>>4515968
>>4515984
>>4516000

It's un intentional but hilarious little bug
I have no idea what causes it but I dont know if I even want to fix it

I recommend typing "Kill monsters" in the console for one way to get rid off em

>>4516030
You can get telefragged by the spawn cubes it launches.

>>4516058

>>4515903
The base game is easy enough that you don't need a walkthrough, just go with the flow, you'll have a good time.

>>4515923
Ever since I was a wee lad.
But I was also always a metalhead at heart (despite my tastes being far wider these days), so it's natural that it took so me well.

Voivod is my favorite band partially because of Doom.

>>4516079
Pretty damn good for 4 hours dude. Nice job.

>>4515882
Literally git gud, the Arch-Vile exists to make encounters completely different from the normal enemies.
The expanded bestiary of Doom 2 was perhaps the greatest asset the community ever received, because it lets the game get so much more complex; the Arch-Vile, Revenant, Chaingunner and Mancubus vastly changes things and lets you construct encounters which weren't possible in the first game, it gives all new challenges and you have to think far more.

Yes, the level design is a very mixed bag in Doom 2, but for the first third the maps are really good, and Final Doom really shows you how well the Doom 2 assets can really be used.

>>4515903
I always checked EVERYTHING for secrets when I first played the game because I had already played Wolfenstein 3-D before that and that's how it was in Wolf 3-D.

>>4515903
>>4515880
Are you the dude who posted on /v/ a couple days ago?

>>4516130
>Literally git gud
No thanks, I'll gladly settle for less shitty, less annoying, less bullshit enemies.

>>4516132
The second reply is me, yes. I thank all the anons in that thread and for the ones who posted about Quake. I still can't get over always run.

>>4516136
Then perish.

>>4515853

What's the size of the largest screen you presently enjoy /doom/ing upon?

Is Quake III Arena actually worth getting into in this day and age? I doubt there are many people playing it online?

>>4516143

>>4516137
Did you see the massive list of recommendations from later in the thread?

>>4516147
Quake Live has mostly replaced it.

>>4516150
Yes and I even screencapped them. Again I'm enjoying all the love this game gets. Do you want to add anything to the list? Ignore the filenames.

cpma 1.50 and cnq3 1.49 were released a few days ago

>>4516156
>>4516158
Have you tried Blood yet?

Those lists are hilariously missing Heretic, Hexen, and Strife. If you're digging Doom then you're gonna like these because they run on the same engine and have a similar feel. Heretic is basically someone took a medieval fantasy setting and gave it Doom gameplay. Hexen is the sequel to that with multiple character classes and fantastic atmosphere. Strife is someone asking "what can we get the Doom engine to do?" Huge levels, NPC interaction, in-game shops, voice acting, etc. Really impressive game. All 3 are highly recommended. They'll run in the same source port as Doom.

>>4516167
>Hexen is the sequel to that with multiple character classes and fantastic atmosphere.
And horribly unintuitive level design.

>>4516167
>Have you tried Blood yet?
Not yet I'm still playing through Doom 2. I think someone posted a picture of Heretic, it showed someone holding a staff and the menu looked nice. I'll check all of them out and report back.

I need to make a checklist.

sorry for the
>blog
but I need four other /doom/ license plate options besides FIREBLU. In CO they just pick the one out of the five that is available.

>any combination of Letters A to Z (upper case only), Spaces, dashes, periods and Numbers 0 to 9 .

I can't think of any good ones

Why do I get a "out of memory" error message when I try to download Quake II from the pastebin?


Is there somewhere else I can download the same file from? Like has anyone mirrored the file in the pastebin on another site?

Seriously, is there any way to get a mirror of Quake II from the pastebin in the OP on like mediafire or something? Because the mega is giving me problems and just won't work. I've tried it multiple times.

>>4516181

there is a mod for ut99 called operation na'pali that I personally consider better than the official expansion return to na'pali

>>4516203
where is the out of memory error coming up, actually what program, can you even unzip it

>>4515952
This makes me think, are the actual developers' level editors / utilities available online? Would be interesting to see what they worked with.

>>4516216
mega is stopping the download around 75% and giving me that message

if I could actually finish downloading it then it should be no problem unzipping it

>>4516156
>>4516158
The Unreal series is worth getting into as well.

>>4516226
how much RAM do you have

>>4516228
the issue is not on my computer

mega just doesn't want to cooperate with my browser or PC or I don't know what exactly

I'd be able to download it just fine if it were on a different site like mediafire

the file isn't the problem and neither is my PC, it's just something about mega and I have no idea what the issue is, but I've tried it multiple times and I always get that same error, it's just a compatibility issue between my computer and mega itself

I fell for the dusk meme

>>4516234
is the full game out?

>>4516231

have you installed the mega desktop app?

>>4516240
nigga I ain't downloading shit like that, I don't want spyware or whatever the fuck

if there's a mirror of the download on a different site then that'd be awesome and appreciated, if not then I'll still live no big deal

Mega uploads the file up to your RAM first, using your browser to carry it, then decrypts it onto your HDD.

You need at least <size of the download>*1.5 RAM to be available when you start the download or it will fail.

You also need at least +10 extra gigs of space left on hdd AFTER the download for arbitrary reasons

If these conditions aren't met, your download will fail at some point, and you will end up with chunks ofan encrypted file in your temp directory that are completely useless since you cant decrypt them on your own.

>>4516249

or you know, you can install the mega app

>>4516180
anachronox isn't an fps you fucking dork what is this

>>4516249
I don't know if that's the problem or not, but it shouldn't be because I've only got like 7 gigs of free space and the download for Quake 1 worked just fine

again, if anyone wants to mirror that shit elsewhere (and maybe Q3 while they're at it) it'd solve the issue entirely, but what the fuck ever

>you will end up with chunks of an encrypted file in your temp directory that are completely useless since you cant decrypt them on your own

how do I delete that shit?

How do I get System Shock 2 running on a (relatively) modern PC? Is there a source port or no? What's the best/recommended way to play it nowadays?

>>4516234
Vinny's streaming it right now and it looks pretty fun so far.

>>4516289
Newdark. Same as Thief.

>>4516234
how do you get steam to look like that

yeah, mega just flat out does not want to work my with computer

I tried downloading another file (for a different game) with a much smaller file size and it gets to 99% and says there's 00:00:00 time left and says it's decrypting and then just nothing happens

>>4516282
It may depend on the browser, but my Chrome and Opera refused to download anythingfrom MEGA until I freed upexactly 10 extra gigs above what was needed so I guessed it was some sort of arbitrary limit.
The RAM thing is completely true though. I had PC hang up on me because MEGA page gobbled 5+gigs of ram and began raping swap file.
The chunks would be dumped from your RAM to HDD if download fails unexpectedly(i.e. not by Mega gving you error on its own), like if you close the page while download is in process which is what I had to do. Location is where your browser stores its temp files. If you don't know where that is - google it and go check it out, probably a lot of trash ended up there.

Many auto-cleaning and "optimisation" programs come with extra shit and "tweaks" that can "save" you a dozen megabytes by deleting prefetch data and end up making system work noticably slower because of that. So don't use them unless you know for certain that they do no harm.

>>4516316
you wouldn't need more than a gig and a half RAM for the file in question, right? I've got much more than that, so the issue is not with my computer

>>4516234
It's a shame that it is made on Unity instead of Darkplaces like it was suggested in the beginning of the development.
Now it runs like ass on systems it has no right go below 60fps and is unmoddable.

>>4516131
I always check EVERYTHING every time I start playing Quake 1 because I've still never found the Nightmare difficulty. I refuse to look it up because I want to find it myself but I'm starting to believe that nobody else ever found it without a walkthrough either.

>>4516364
hello fellow classic fps fans, here's that thing you remember!

>>4516379
Dopefish has been in a lot of games though.

I don't know what this does, there is one in every level

makes me remember the perfect dark cheeses

>>4516364
STRAFE was utter shit, and Devil Daggers were too arcadey to my tastes (i.e. no proper levels to run throuhg)

>>4516371
I found it without a walkthrough accidentally. IIRC one of the later levels uses similar trick to hide one of its secrets. I'll give you a very subtle hind if you want: the path to it directly contradicts common physics

>>4516364
>>4516382
this looks pretty bland

>>4516389

yeah, it's more cubic than quake but gameplay and exploration are ok for now

>>4516389
They managed to legit make a game even browner than Quake.

>>4516385
nope, still not reading that. I'm still going to try to find it on my own. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a really well hidden secret or a badly designed one.

welp

>>4516405

>>4516364
I made a lengthy angry rant-review on STRAFE a while back,detailing everything that was wrong with it and why. https://pastebin.com/0ZM27v0t

>>4516405
It's a good secret that requires you to know basic game mechanics. But not bunny-hop or rocketjumpsince they were not common and definitely not basic back then. Though you can reach it with Rocket jump. Theoretically. If you cheat it to yourself.

>>4516391
This gives me "slopes, lmao" vibe. I.e. mapper trying to use as many slopes as possible even when square block would've done a better job, just to show off that it's truly 3D.

>>4516412
STRAFE woulda been cooler if the starting weapon you pick up was granted infinite reloads and can be upgraded to become better, than find temporary weapons throughout each stage.

I mean shit the starting weapons are really solid in concept, an assault rifle with a grenade altfire, a shotgun (forgot the altfire), and some kinda laser gun that's kinda like the UT shock rifle.
The idea of getting different altfires for your weapons is cool too.

got some news on dakka:

- the berserk pickup is now replaced with the VAMPIRE SPHERE, which heals you with every kill you make. the more health your kill had, and the less health you have, the more health you get. but it only lasts 30 seconds, so you better pick some fights quickly. check it out in action: https://my.mixtape.moe/wofqcw.mp4

- did you know that KILL scripts are supported by zandronum now? I just found out today, and spent a bunch of time reworking the score system with this in mind. the result of this is that on gzdoom, monster compatibility patches are a thing of the past. zandronum still needs them so that you don't get a score reward every 5000 points no matter what, since it lacks the RGF_NOSIGHT flag on A_RadiusGive. but monsters will always give points now, which is great.

at this point, there's only a few things left before I give this thing a non-alpha release, and those are:
- replacement sounds for the minigun and lancer primary fires, and fist alt-punches
- a BFG rework, since it's kind of the odd gun out now
- an actual pickup sprite for the lancer

anyway here's an alpha version. tell me how I fucked up the balance.

>>4516415
>infinite reloads
I imagine endless magazines being sucked into the gun

>>4516417
what are KILL scripts? Would they allow giving every monster on the map drops and EXP reward values based on their HP? I was pondering on an idea of an RPG-lite mod that would work with any monster replacer/randomiser, assigning drops and exp based on their HP.

>>4516425
https://zdoom.org/wiki/Script_types#KILL

they run when anything on the map dies. mighty goddamn convenient, and something that probably should've existed far earlier in zdoom's history.

>>4516474
sometimes mega just outright blocks some ips

sorry m8, you're fucked

been working on a mod to do coop arrows like serious sam does

>>4516156
just so you know, because of sourceports and ease of maps/modding, doom blows every other retro fps the fuck out and you'll always be left wanting after playing doom and trying anything else

>>4516195

saw the 52 recently tho

it's not very good

i use this for downloading mega links. it avoids having to use web browsers. it is in debian so you can just "sudo apt install megatools". then "megadl 'https://mega.nz/#!WcREFb6Z!A7SpnbSRonsG2XowZTeB3xwsBgMd0uCV8FRKRdoIn-k'"

In mapping for Strife, is there a way to start the map with the alarm on? So that all enemies are automatically hostile to the player?

>>4515885

>>4515903
Why would you do that? They're called secrets - they're non-mandatory.
If you want to 100%, it doesn't count if you won't 100% on your own.

>>4516607
No but you can have a line trigger to raise the alarm that the player can't avoid

Do people still play UT99? I'm thinking of getting it from GOG since I want to get into an arena shooter.

New to doom here pls don't bully
I just downloaded zdoom and the iwads
How come I keep seeing videos of people playing doom with incredible smooth framerate and gameplay but mine feels choppy as fuck? Is there a config I should get?

>>4516704
*gzdoom, sorry

>>4516704
post the videos you're talking about.

>>4516718
I don't know, this one for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKVLayGmZ34

>>4516704
Are you using the latest version, GZDoom v3.2.5?
64-bit version? (assuming that's your CPU architecture)

Default settings really shouldn't be too demanding. What I would do straight away is match the video output setting to your resolution + fullscreen, plus turn off filtering in OpenGL texture settings.

Uncap frames per second? vid_fps 999999 ?

>>4516739
>Are you using the latest version, GZDoom v3.2.5?
>64-bit version? (assuming that's your CPU architecture)
Yes to both.
I know it's not supposed to be demanding, which is why I'm worried there's some resolution or driver or compatibility mismatch

>>4516741
Nothing changed

>>4516753
What are you computer specs?
Is your GPU driver up to date?

>>4516757
Specs should be fine, last gen i5, a gtx950 and a fuckton of ram
Also I guess my drivers are as up to date as possible

Nevermind, I fixed it, I am the biggest retard

This is still a super unfinished state, but I've got all of the weapons done up to the Chaingun replacement. The Plasma Rifle and BFG hasn't seen any changes, and the fist altfire is pretty broken (Turns out you can't reflect fastprojectiles, so uh, that's of limited use against bullets), but everything else is completely altered and modified. I also gave up work on the HUD, at least for now.

New ripped sprites comes from Eradicator and Damage Incorporated, if you're curious. Still no sounds, because I'm basically a deaf person.

Has anyone here played Dusk? Is it any fun or another """"old school"""" shooter? Judging by what I've seen it actually looks pretty fast and fun.

>>4516780
Not retro. Take it to /v/.

Retro-style, maybe, and reminds me a lot of Quake, but still. /v/.

>>4516786
I got banned last time I said that.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/98745-toxic-complex/

It's done. Thanks for the feedback guys.

>>4516786
Sorry, I just wanted to know what you guys thought of a recent shooter trying to emulate the classics, and to see if it compares.
If it means anything I've also been playing a shitload of quake. The atmosphere in that game beats most other games.

>>4516793
That screen reminds me a lot of No Rest for the Living.

Would have made a hole in himself with a casing. (M = bullet's mass, m = casing's mass, mv~MV; e=mvv/2=(mv)(mv)/2m several times higher than E=MVV/2=(MV)(MV)/2M since m is several times lighter than M; tl,dr: without a gun, casing is much more dangerous than bullet is).

>>4516819
So, 20 points of damage tops?

>>4516815
yeah it's almost like he copied it

>>4516815
looks pretty much identical

Does anyone want to mirror some mega link files on mediafire or usercloud?

>>4516838
Yeah, it was the first room I built, I always meant to change it, but after a while there was so much gameplay relying on it that I didn't know what I could switch. I'll definitely be avoiding it in the future.

>>4516849
popupadfire can suck my balls

>>4516776
I've made a few more modifications since this post, but I'm waaay too late for work to upload it and stuff.

Does anyone know how you could make some cool forked lightning? I'm considering making a fastprojectile travel forward a short distance, die, create a dozen other fastprojectiles of a different type, which travels a short distance and dies, and creates the tertiary set, each less accurate and dealing less damage than before. Throw in a bunch of lightning-looking missiletrails, and you've got zappy-zaps!

>>4516902
You don't have an adblocking software?

I don't think they were asking you to download them from mediafire. I think they meant they wanted someone to download the files from mega and re-upload them to mediafire. I'd do it if I had a mediafire account.

No.

I guess i'm truly cursed, then.

>>4517214
so for both symptoms, it sounds like gzdoom crashed on exit and didn't restore your display settings or save its own configuration.
>>4517229
i've had it crash on exit and fail to save its configuration. i've not had it mess up icons, but that's because i don't have any.

>>4517228
tried to load nihility a couple days ago and had the exact same problem for some reason. here's how to fix it

if you open the .ini file you'll find everything in both the brackets named DOOM.bindings and AUTOMAP.bindings is gone (or something like that if you had a customized automap)

>move the .ini file out of the GZDoom folder
>load the game back up (should start GZDoom from default, bilinear rendering at 640x480 and all)
>rebind basic keys and automap settings manually. doing this should create a new .ini file
>simply copy and paste the contents from the DOOM.bindings and AUTOMAP.bindings brackets from the new .ini file into your old one

that way you'll save the hassle of having to rebind your keys for every mod you have

that's a long way of saying "backup your .ini and restore it after a crash"

>>4517261
Someone needs to do a good sprite off this one

>>4517264
not essentially since it's not crashing
and you don't need to overwrite absolutely everything just to fix it

>>4517261
thanks a lot. I'll be sure to remember this next time hideous destructor has a spasm and wipes my entire command list for no goddamn reason.

I'm planning on playing Valiant in Coop with a friend of mine, I've got Zandronum server working properly but I've got questions about some other shit.

Is there anyway to make coop respawning work like it does in say Halo , where if one person dies the other has to find a safe spot without enemies for the other person to respawn? Does Zandronum even support scripting something like this?

Also, does anyone know of modular screen-recoil mod, like the one included in Smooth Doom. I can handle losing the animations, but I love the mild screen shake to sell weapon impacts.


Also, any megawads that are explicitely designed for coop in that they have two player puzzles to solve and shit like that?

Rough sketch. Any suggestions for improvement?

It's happening to me with annoying frequency, with no clear trigger as to what's causing it. I'm not even crashing all that much, sometimes I just switch mods and then bloop no bindings.
Thanks, Graf.

Do you guys still recommend GZDoom? From what I've seen it's a mess. Any good alternatives?

So, I'm tweaking the AR from Damage Incorporated, and this is a sample of what I've got so far. One is more heavily edited, with some amount of tweaking, and the other is relatively untouched. Which do you think works better?

I thought that'd be an option but I couldn't find it, I'll keep looking.

>>4516695
Thanks for that too

>>4517349

It's recommended if you want to play with the most mods. Otherwise it's kind of middling as a source port.

>>4516704
use vid_fps 1 in console and tell me what you observe as you're running around
with your specs you should be getting the max 200fps under most normal circumstances (large maps and mods with lots of gore and shit can drop it)
you're playing in opengl I assume?

you could try an older version, or even another port

>>4516774

Awesome. You guessed properly- that's the one I barely touched. I'm too impatient to wait for more input, so I'm making you the sole decider for the fate of my of my gameplay mod.

Also, when my control configurations were wiped out, it was all of it, including pressing TAB for automap and ªclick* to shoot.

>>4517214
Configs are not stored globally but for each different IWAD. Well, zandybam works like this, I'm sure, which means it was the same in ZDoom too, at one point. Have you set things up in TNT before?

>>4517385

You guys are making me make a copy of my config just to be sure.

>>4517215
Zippyshare only allows up to 500 megs for uploads, so I'd have to use a site that requires signup to upload those to, and that's too much hassle.

>>4516181
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is very worth playing as well.
IMO it was one of the last FPS that followed oldschool formulas. Sure, some levels were linear, but many were pretty big and interconnected, your health did not regenerate and you had to look out for medkits and supplies around the level, oh and there was a lot cleverly hidden secrets too. The only bad thing about it is a stealth mission at level 9, but you can harmlessly skip it with console commands.

Used to happen to me all the time. Later I found out it tended to happen when for whatever reason I decided to close GZDoom during its loading screen (like, if I changed my mind of what to play while it loaded). But once I stopped doing that, the issue never happened again.

Yeah, understandable. Still interested in mirrors of those files incase anyone's interested in uploading them.

>>4517843
i will if no one else does the next day

>>4517854
doom2.net

>>4517651
I had this happen when I was trying to figure out randomised death sounds, the same death sound would play every single time I reloaded the game. messed me up.

>>4517861
Perfect, just what I was looking for!

>>4517817
>>4517823
AI is 1:1 up to original version 1.0
Subsequent patches changed things up a bit but not by much. The only thing that MAY or may not be off are some additional monster behaviours introduced later. Everything that was in 1.0 is exactly as in 1.0 because GDX is based on stolen source code of that version.

Are there any source ports that support splitscreen deathmtach?

>>4517817
mouse aim is still pretty fucky when compared to any normal game
better than what it was though

>>4517673

ZBloody is the only option

>>4517817
CD audio can also now be ripped out and put into game dir same way it works with quakespasm

>>4517945
ZBloody Hell is ONLY good if you want to play vaguely-Blood levels with Doom weapon mods. The levels are NOT acurate to Blood and enemy behaviour is way worse than in BloodCM.
From the accuracy standpoint ZBloody Hell is an atrocity that didn't need to exist since it's inferior to BloodCM in every regard. And BloodCM is inferior in every regard but sound to BGDX.

>>4517951
What's wrong with gdx's sound then?

>>4517951

I was joking, jeez

is there a goldeneye/perfect dark map set?

>>4517971
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPEekAnhEsM

>>4517951
nah zbloody is better because it's based on a game that's actually good with a competent sourceport
the levels are as accurate as they can be, which is pretty accurate really

>>4517961
dont apologize

>>4517980

I agree with both of you, zbloody as a blood replacement is an aberration but I can appreciate the effort put in it

>>4517975
I'm confused, how many goldeneye mods are there?
I'm looking for one compatible with gzdoom, I want to use other weapons

>>4517982
ok i was being a dick on purpose sorry
yes zbloody shouldn't be taken as an authentic blood replacement or anything
but treating zbloody as some kinda original tc thing I really enjoy it

>>4517953
It uses OpenAL in a way that resamples audio, making it a bit muffled due to interpolation. Same shit DukeWT had until they fixed it, but not nearly as bad or noticable unless you directly compare it.
BloodCM uses EDuke's sound system (Since it is basically an EDuke) which does not interpolate and sounds like it should.
It's not nearly as bad as it was in WT, so sound nerds might notice it, most people won't.

>>4518072
thanks for that
would be nice to see some more strife maps, just for something different

how do demons reproduce?

>>4517856
Anything you can find the time to do is appreciated.

And just a reminder, the files I'm talking about specifically are the "GAME, ADDONS, AND MUSIC" files for Quake II and Quake III from the Quake pastebin in the OP.

It could be better, chiefly:
>perspective issues
>slight shifts in weapon height
>strange "barrel extension" that appears on the pickup sprite but not on the viewmodel
but this is a decent start

>>4516289
Use the original files. Sometimes you have to disable secondary cores as it was designed for one core. If it open the menu then shuts down, you'll need to do this. (open task manager once the game is running, go to details tab, right click system shock, click "set Affinity" and uncheck all but one CPU). I had to do this on my old laptop but not anymore on my new PC for some reason.

I play it on Windows 8 and it works fine, no need for a source port. Don't even need to disable secondary cores.

Don't buy the steam version whatever you do.

>>4518048
New melee is good. Like the ATATATATATA, but the altfire lacks the useability - once you get going on the ATATATA speeds, primary kills things faster and also stunlocks them.
My suggestion: Primary picks up pace as it is - it's a brilliant idea, and the secondaty also should benefit from increased pace. But the secondary does not keep the pace up and winds down quickly, so you have to combine the two firing modes to keep ATATATA going, using altfire to finish enemies off after a quick ATATATA-ing with primary.

But the secondary does not keep the pace up and winds down quickly, so you have to combine the two firing modes to keep ATATATA going, using altfire to finish enemies off after a quick ATATATA-ing with primary.

problem with that is the alt-fire actually has three "levels" - instead of just hitting the alt-fire button once, tap it two or three times in quick succession, and you'll see what I mean. the delay's there so you actually have time to tap it out. I guess I need to find a better way to hint at that.

I was actually expecting people to wonder "why even use the primary punches when the alt-punches are so strong", but I guess if you're using the level 1 punches, it wouldn't seem that way.

>>4518067 >>4518052
y'know that it still surprises me that people actually like this thing so much? because it does, and it really does mean a lot to me. thanks, guys.

Normally wouldn't care, but the pack is listed separately.

>>4518087 (me)
Also I have to say that DAKKA is one of my favourite weapon replacements so far. It does not change anything drastically, but adds enough extra killing options to make slaughter scenarios much more enjoyable to the average player (me) that can't handle them as-is.
The few criticisms I have though:

the top Minigun fire rate is TOO high IMO, makes it a cheese gun that stunlocks everything, even the Cyberdemon. Maybe it's maximum firerate should be reduced a bit so at least a Cybie could stand a chance against it.

The chaingun altfire is no good. First its too random and may not always hit a target if it's small, second it does not feel satisfactory at all. Maybe make it a cluster grenade with controlled detonation or something - I'd love to see something like this in DAKKA. Never can have too much RC grenades.

That's pretty much it, everything else is amazing.

Lack of explanation for how something works is a problem with many, many mods.
People forget that something that is obvious to them may not be so obvious to other people.
Another problem is that with current state of Doom modding you can not be sure if it is you who are doing something wrong, or is it a bug, or is the feature was just removed in the current release.

Example from previous thread: Magitek Doom. It has a shop system. Yet for the love of me I can't figure out how to actually buy stuff since the Shop option is always crossed out for me, and nobody said anything because apparently I am the only one here who ever played it.
Do I do something wrong?
Do I have to unlock it?
Does it unlocks after certain ammount of levels?
Is there a different extra rare station that I shop from and not the ones Im using?
Is it just broken?
I have no way of knowing since the shop system is never explained anywhere and the help screen only tells that you can shop there and that's it.

>>4518110
Many people would really like your mod... If only you actually released it somewhere beside here lol.
Trust me on this: Projects that are not yet finished, but continue to pump up updates and pop up on top of the forum boards every now and then generate MUCH more feedback and publicity than Done and Gone mods, even if later are fully finished products that have more content.

>the top Minigun fire rate is TOO high IMO, makes it a cheese gun that stunlocks everything, even the Cyberdemon.
well, at max fire rate it is firing two 6-damage bullets at a time (as opposed to one 12-damage bullet), for the added wall-of-bullets effect, which certainly doesn't help. what I'll probably do is alternate between puffs with +PAINLESS and puffs without it, to keep the wall of bullets effect without making it broken-good at stunlock. because I do want to keep the wall of bullets no matter what. I opened a ticket on my git tracker for this; it'll be looked into for sure.

at least it doesn't do about 700 DPS anymore, right?

>The chaingun altfire is no good.
I agree that the chaingun altfire is garbage; I've been having problems with it being unbalanced and unsatisfying from its first implementation. honestly, I felt that way about the chaingun entirely (*way* too good at sniping), and that combined with my desire to slim things down led to the chaingun being dropped entirely. in return, I've increased the accuracy of the dual pistols to help fill the void left by the chaingun being gone, and honestly? I like it a lot better this way.

I dunno if there's any room for RC grenades in dakka now - it's three guns shorter now after all, and I'm happy with most of the alt-fires already there... except for the SSG. I might work the cluster grenade idea in there. it'd let me combine grenades and gyro shells too. hmm...

>>4518137
yeah I know - those hundred-page mod threads can't really be ignored. but I also vastly prefer this place to any of the mainstream doom boards.
oh well. maybe I can get some of those doom youtubers to give me free publicity. or use some SECRET CONNECTIONS.
(what fucking secret connections)

>>4518165
Please don't get rid of the minigun completely! I love that it provides a good middleground between pistols and minigun. I actually end up using it far more often than the Minigun. Just add some spread to it or something.

Idea for the altfire: Fifth Element SF1 bullets - altfire shoots non-hitscan bullets (that are still fast), if they hit something - the rest of the bullets will home in onto that target. maybe make them a bit weaker to compensate for OP mechanic.

>Please don't get rid of the minigun completely! I love that it provides a good middleground between pistols and minigun. I actually end up using it far more often than the Minigun. Just add some spread to it or something.

well now that I've made the vampire sphere (and finally have a berserk pickup that actually gets you health back), there really isn't much room left for another gun, and as a pistol-starter, I didn't really like "replace X gun after Y maps of having Z gun". I could have it so that the minigun fires at a lower rate and accelerates to wall-of-bullets if you're also holding the alt-fire, or vice-versa? that'd need explaining just like the fist alt-fire though.

speaking of the fist alt-fire, my leading idea is basically to replace the ammo counters with a speed counter (for the primary fire) and a power counter (for the alt-fire). I think that'd be a sufficient enough hint to the fact that you can charge the fist alt-fire, and also that successfully connecting with the alt-fire automatically puts your primary fire at max speed.

>>4518191
Do the good thing and add all the explanations to F1 infopages . At 640x400 so it's not too murky, but also not too high res. Maybe spread it over several.

>>4518090
I recognize the one on the right. It was in that tutorial from a while back.

I'm having a lot of fun making custom melee-attacks for each of the three classes.

>Arcanist (Generalist, high mana capacity but no passive features.): Altfire is a blast of raw magic energy, dealing punch-level damage at range! Costs magic, though, but gets a lot scarier with berserk.
>Beguiler (Fast, Stealthy, Squishy): Altfire is pic related. Except with a less shit zoom factor. Phase through projectiles and enemies, sailing forward through the ether or whatever. Hurt enemies as you go through them.
>Warmage (Heavy, Slow, Durable): I haven't quite decided yet. I'm thinking it might be either a big shockwave that shoves enemies away HARD and gives him magic armor to use, or it might give him a magic shield that makes him reflect projectiles and indestructible, while slowly and steadily draining mana.

>>4518207
oh yeah, F1 pages exist. the explanations already exist in the titlemap's hints, but redundancy wouldn't hurt. that might be good enough for the minigun on its own, although I'll still do the power/speed bars for the fists.

and this is why working in complete isolation isn't a great idea. I don't think of shit like this on my own, because I never even realize it's an issue!

>>4518067
For perspective, I played with dark doom lite and the ambient music pack on Hideous difficulty.

The gameplay and mechanics took a long while to get used to, even when referring to the guide, but once I got a good handle on things by the end of E1, everything just felt so satisfying. Every magazine grabbed, every potion downed, every enemy fragged accompanied a sense of accomplishment that never really diminished, even at the end of the game. All the weapons felt satisfying to use once finally figuring out how to use them (looking at you, plasma gun).

By the end, there were only a few gripes I had with the otherwise solid gameplay.
-Long distance travel / key searching was Hell
-Never really figured out how the reserve bullets work
-Armor felt too long lasting for the protection it provided
-Medkits felt too long lasting
-Second flesh was a rather confusing mechanic being combined into the medkit, would be nice if it were a second inventory item or used up medkits at a higher rate
-Never had a use for stimpacks; medkits were typically quick enough
-Potions and soulspheres are OP because of outright removing aggregate wounds; it'd be nice if it just reset the aggregate wounds to 100, with the soulsphere restoring health to 100 as well.
-To that end, the game got exponentially easier whenever I acquired a soulsphere and blue armor
-Though unloading dropped shotguns was rather useful, salvaging magazines from dropped rifles was only useful as long as your reserve ammo wasnt full
-Lost soul death explosions killed me inside
-Barons and Cyberdemons felt too non-aggressive. Are they set to wander instead of chase?
-Monster resurrection scared the ever living shit out of me, mostly because I had no idea what caused it; arguably should stay that way

but yeah it just gets too easy when you've got magic-enhanced health and blue armor.
all in all, 9/10 would shill for

>>4518183
>>4518191
I implemented that slow/fast mode for the minigun. it still stunlocks like crazy, but I'll get to that soon.

>>4518405
Aw shit

>>4518405
ACCEPTABLE

>>4518408 >>4518409
funnily enough, I posted it to some other discord and one guy was like "wow this sounds like shit", specifically about the "fuller auto" sound (which, by the way, I really did just choose because I had it on hand already)

pic related

>>4518434
They don't know about the joys of fuller auto and they're probably a fucking double jian.

>>4518434
Solution probably is to decrease the pitch somewhat, because it does sound puny.

>>4518452
tried that, and it sounded a whole lot worse
I'd have to find better sounds - and that pretty much means "get given better sounds" since I am awful at finding them myself, and I don't know where to look. but if I don't find/get any better ones, I'm happy with the EYE sounds.

sure as hell ain't going back to using the skulltag minigun sound, anyway.

There are several in there
The first one sounds good enough imo.

Time to start working on the daggers for the Doomslayer, though I've only made the sprite for the basic drain dagger, I got resources to make the sprites I need for the other variants, but what dagger should I make next, fellas?
>ammo drain
>feast dagger
>spread dagger
>glaive

>>4518048
Literally one of the most fun wads I have ever played. It's great with scythe 2.

>>4518592
Make a dagger that once stabbed into a foe would eject itself, then stab it again and proceed doing so several times
Call it a Murder Dagger.

From technical standpoint: dagger's enemy hit puff shots a slow "backwards dagger projectile" back, which after ~0.6 sec destroys itself while shooting another dagger projectile at the target, repeat 5-6 times for "Murder" effect (or until target dies). Spends 1 dagger if you missed, spends more daggers (one per additional strike) if it hits. Charge it to increase the maximum ammount of hits.

>>4518598
The build that is now gets a bit stale after you acquired the best (at least in your opinion) upgrades.

>>4518602
I like the concept of that, but I want to keep Doomslayer very mechanically simple. Especially with his subweapons, push button and either throw a bomb to blow shit up, or throw a dagger of some kind for some heals. These buttons are assigned to reload and zoom and holding those while trying to dodge can be a pain.

>>4518607
Then "Vampire Dagger" that makes your enemies bleed -
drop blood droplets - and those droplets act like +1 hp bonuses to you. Getting hit by droplet directly as it flies +2hp for "fresh" blood.
Basically like Castlevania:SOTN's vampirism

>>4518625
That's kinda what the feast dragin dagger will do, you hit a dude and rather than an immediate health boost, a bunch of bread and drumsticks will go flying out of the monster.

>>4518626
Then a glass dagger that shatters on contact and turns into sort-of calltrops

>>4518636
Man, where were you when I was asking for dagger ideas earlier? Unfortunately I've got my daggers picked out already and I don't want to add any more than what I've got planned.
A glass dagger that shatters into pieces sounds really fucking cool though.

>>4517587
A weapon that combines flamethrower with some sort of freeze ray. LMB shoots fire, RMB shoots liquid nitrogen, both pressed at the same time shoot fireblu.

How do you guys think this looks as a wallpaper? I just cropped off the bottom of the German Quake ad.

Someone in another thread said that Death Wish for Blood was updated this week. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know anything about this? What do I need to do to update Death Wish in a folder where I already have it?

>>4518918
It's scaled strangely.

>>4518918
I'd love to have that jumper

>>4518950
What do you mean?

>>4518956
1600x900 is a weird resolution.

>>4518959
It's still 16:9 and the original was 1600 wide. All I did was crop the bottom off (which was basically just text). If I could have had it in 1920x1080 I would have, but I couldn't find a larger version of the pic to crop.

>>4518924
this is starting to feel like spam.

Woop woop! Rocket Launcher done! and I came up with an idea that will force me to remake a ton of sprites later on. Basically, making the 'glow' outline effect part of the flash sprite instead of the normal one.

Anyway, the rocket launcher's altfire is different. It's infused with the element of DEATH. Which creates a grenade of unlife-granting sparks. Turn enemy corpses into allies with this baby, before the archvile can!

The primary fire are simple, normal rockets. Which is one of the few weapons that have absolutely no change. Sadly.

>>4519009
you are right, of course.

>>4519050

How exactly do I get expansions working in Duke Nukem 3D? I've already got the game running in eDuke32.
