Gee I wonder who could be behind this post.

/r/ing the ricky gervais show cast but drawn as doomguy, ranger and BJ instead

>>4564893
When does the camera pan down?

>>4564938
but who would be who...?

>>4564945
i thought about it a bunch and couldn't come to a proper conclusion

>>4564938
>>4564945

Doom Guy = Ricky Gervais
BJ = Stephen Merchant
Commander Keen = Karl Pilkington

>>4564958
>Commander Keen = Karl Pilkington
genius

>>4564958
I like Doomguy as Karl.
>Ranger Gervais and Stephen Merzkowicz explaining how jumping and sloped surfaces work
>Doomington just going on about well, they're just sort of luxuries, innit? I mean I've gone this far without them, right, and I've got stairs up to me apartment and a ramp would probably be, you know, too steep to climb anyway

>>4564964
>Wolfenstein 3D

wat?

>>4564969
RtCW counts as retro. I think.

>>4564969
I guess it's the RTCW BJ

>>4564970
>>4564971

>>4564970
>>4564971
rtcw blazko is a quake ranger ripoff

>>4564973
Well fuck it, jumping/not jumping is still largely a Doom-specific controversy so Doomguy is the best candidate to not understand it (even though he was jumping in Q3A in 1999 just fine).

>>4564974
your face is a my ass ripoff

>>4564973
RTCW will always be retro in my heart.

>>4564978
give it another generation (if there ever is another one)

>>4564973
reee you must never even mention in passing a non-retro game, or you shall face my wannabe janny autism

i was originally going to make this one of the chillax2 maps but that project idea and this map aren't working out
i dunno what the fuck to do with this map so i'll probably glare at it for a minute, crap a single detail or edit, and then close it again. probably submit the end result of garbage to joel's.

what? i'm confused by what you mean by that

>>4565128
Oh sorry i thought u made a map called shaggkioth or some shit i dunno.

>>4565128
>>4565124
also tried doing a quick translation thing to replicate the L33T agents. trying to get a visually authentic feel to Nevada

>>4565131
Oh, the one I was sketching/prototyping/brainstorming some hell stuff with? Yeah, I appreciate it, but there's still a lot "off" with it that I haven't managed to pick up on.

>>4565132
these ATPs look like ass
but that's what i get for recoloring a recolor.

>>4564875
is that supposed to be a revenant? it doesn't look much like one

>>4565068
is that a cheat code for some console game? start left right left right right right?

>>4565159
it's a joke referring to how his doomslayer's head looks like some kind of alien.

>>4565164
i don't get it but ok

I'm probably over thinking this since

>Doom >story

But I think all the doom games are connected.
Doom slayer being the original doomguy, In doom 1 and 2 you play as doomguy who ends the hell invasion on phobos and in doom 2 he ends the invasion on earth, In doom 64 he returns to phobos and hell to kill the mother demon. [Doom64 being the real doom3] He remains in hell to keep tabs on hell.

This is where timelines or alternate universes come into play, Doom 1, 2 and 64 being the original universe, and Doom3 being a separate universe where the UAC is on mars instead of Phobos/Deimos, The ancient martian ruins has tablets of Doomguy wielding the soul cube. I think since hell has no sense of time and space the ancient martians found doomguy in hell after they fucked up and opened the hell gate, Doomguy aiding them in the war against hell's forces and allowing him to become their champion, thus making doom3 a "Doom 3.5" if you will, As doomguy remained fighting demons while the martians escaped and fled to earth, He was once against stranded in hell along with the remaining martian warriors [Night sentinel]

I think the night sentinels and the martians are the one in the same, since in the first level of doom2016, you find old ruins on mars, that look strikingly similar to the ones in Doom3, Not to mention during the kadingir level you see a cracked moon in the sky and most of the level is floating above hell, the whole kadinger area might have been originally on mars, [the place being sucked into hell, along with mars's moon, Deimos and Phobos being the remnant of said moon and The UAC base in doom2016 is located in a giant crack on mars surface]

So tl;dr Doomguy is the Doomslayer, which is why he knows how to use all the weapons in 2016, So this means Doom2016 actually IS Doom 4.

then again I'm overthinking this

>>4565171
sure why not

>>4565171
>So tl;dr Doomguy is the Doomslayer, which is why he knows how to use all the weapons in 2016, So this means Doom2016 actually IS Doom 4
That's how I see it too.

Man, all of those cool bullet-tracer effects and seeing other people's projects makes me feel sad because mine isn't as good.

>>4565154
Tagged under Doom in the /v/ drawthread booru.

>>4565202
> as good
keep going anon, if it's not bad it's worth working on
you can make it flashy later on

good now, fancy later

>>4565202
It may not look as good, but you damn sure can make it less performance-hungry

>>4564875

I just had an epiphany.
What if this entire thing with Argent DNur and Night Sentinels from Doom 4 is just a fodder to reboot Heretic?

>>4565298
I unironically prefer seeing id games crossing with other classic FPS games than Skyrim or most Bethesda stuff

>>4565287
Bang-bang! HE-HEEEH!

>>4565298
According to Heretic II, with his last breath D'Sparil cursed Corvus to forewer wander the Outerworlds (which are shown as some kind of hellish dimension in the intro), until his Tome of Power awakened its guardian/consciousness thing which transported Corvus back home for the Heretic II story.

Same as with Doomslayer, you can fit pretty much anything into "Corvus wandering the Outerworlds while being cursed in between H and H II", including a trip to actual Hell, which is precisely what I'm using as a backstory for my "Heretic meets Doom with additional bells'n'whistles" mod.

Hi, I wanted you all to try my map. This is the first one I've made. Just tell me what you think.

https://mega.nz/#!GZ4wxJyY!Z8cXLmltAonIz0IpDc64drBYMKNJk2WQp5mK52kzRCo

>>4565359
Also wanted to mention to use gzdoom.

>>4565359
Played it
I personally found it a bit easy, that i didn't use my Plasma rifle
Other than that, it's good and i liked the trucks
Was it intentional for that face to make this :3?

>>4565378
Yes, maybe if I do another map I'll make it harder.

I just wanna point out something about that tweet on DN3D World Tour

I'm pretty sure you can still active steam-keys, even if the game was removed from steam

>>4565403
IIRC you can activate, but can't download it, so you'll have to pirate it either way to pla it.

What difficulty should I start off with? UV?

>>4565429
Start off like you never played before? I'd say HMP. You gotta learn the mechanics of the game before going to UV

>>4565441
thanks man. is nightmare just a gimmick difficulty then? nightmare in doom2016 was only hard in the last hour, but I know older games dont hold back on difficulty.

>>4565451
Yeah nightmare is a gimmick difficulty or for masochists. It can be kinda fun though.

>>4565451
>>4565452
It's not really a gimmick, it's that nobody balances their maps with the possibility of Nightmare playthrough since that means making game much easier on UV as the 2 are related in terms of object placement.
It is a fine challenge on iwads.

>>4565287
>That nailgun animation
>Doomguy deepthroating an industrial pipe
Spew

>>4565287
i think i've waited longer for golden souls 2 to come out than most actual games

Dance of Deathfag from yesterday.
I think I'm learning a bit more to use Doom Builder now.
I've successfully created the forest I had in mind with a decent skybox.

>>4565548
And also finished the temple exterior. I might try to improve on it later but so far I achieved what I wanted.

>>4564419
NME was tough. I also didn't know exactly what to do with El Oscuro at first, he was pretty tough actually, and pretty different. ROTT is no slouch when it comes to boss battles actually.

There was an expansion, right? Was it as good as Dark War?

>>4564893
overrated mod

>>4565549
>tfw when your mental image slowly takes shape

>>4565569
Actually, looking at reviews for Extreme Rise Of The Triad, it looks like it's kind of a drag. Was the Lasersoft levels good?

>>4565569
>el... oscuro...
every time

>>4564973
its stalking autistic baiting shitters like you that makes hirmoot trigger happy to update the rules to 2004 and backwards
>though he will do later this year because he said so and because he's pissed due to some unknown cool japshit being from 2002

>>4565636
I really appreciate Tom Hall putting on make-up and costume to play the final boss. It was kind of rad also that there's a first encounter with him in one level, then you spend the next level chasing him through a canyon as he escapes, for you to have your final confrontation with him in the level following that.

I'll go so far as to say that he's a better boss fight than any of the Doom 1 or Doom 2 ones, just because of how different it is. Though the hidden eggs is a bit of bullshit, the game basically tricks you into thinking you destroy all of them near the start.

>>4565645
That sounds kind of good, because there's a lot of good stuff from the early 2000's that's really different from today, which not a lot of people talk about.

Like, Return To Castle Wolfenstein is very much an oldschool shooter in how it plays and is set up.
Then there's Deus Ex, which slips by just like a month, so you might as well let it in.

>>4565652
All those RCT2 threads are about a game from 2002 and never get 404'd

>>4565652
he said that the rules will be updated, only when "he has more time to look at it"

>>4565657
Fair enough, but I think it's worth letting in some stuff from the early 21st century, like, officially.

Like, the GBA, aside from having a lot of ports of 16-bit games, had some original games too, which can be worth exploring and talking about, and I think there were some stragglers for the Playstation in the 2000's as well.

>>4565665
I hope he makes a good decision, then.

>>4565652
Gameboy Advance games were very similar in almost every aspect to SNES games, and I think this board would benefit from its inclusion.
On the other hand, alowing in XBox and PS2 is bound to bring in crapton of fagotry that would instantly drown any other /vr/ discussion.
IMO best solution: Expand range by 1 year (up to 2000) and allow GBA on /vr/ for a little bit of fresh blood, and make /v2k/ for everhing else from 2001-2009 to contain the faggotry.

>>4565673
>On the other hand, alowing in XBox and PS2 is bound to bring in crapton of fagotry that would instantly drown any other /vr/ discussion.

because this board doesn't have it's fair share of cancer and crossboarding.

>>4565676
XBopx and PS2 would bring much, much more since most of the modern cancer franchises began there. I'd imagine "Classic Halo", "Retro-COD" and "Oldschool Medal of Honor" generals becoming mainstay, with couple dozens others cropping up irregularily and knocking slower threads like Unreal thread (thread made in previous year is stilll going) off the board entirely.

>>4565359
Not a mapper nor a hardcore player, so perhaps my opinion is not the most informed, but I really liked your map. I liked how detailed it was, and the references to the shareware episode. The berserker pack at the start is a bit op tho.

>>4565682
>I'd imagine "Classic Halo", "Retro-COD" and "Oldschool Medal of Honor" generals becoming mainstay
Isn't it scorching under that tinfoil hat? Did you forget where we are?

>>4565691
exactly

>>4565687
Thank you, I like Tyson style maps that have berserk at the beginning so I can punch everything at the start.

>>4565548
>>4565549
>>4565621
Great progress anon, be sure to post it when it's done

>>4565671
Games from retro consoles are fine, regardless of their release date. So long as the console is of appropriate generation.

PC games, not so much. Since there's no clear generational gap you go by release.

I imagine RCT2 threads slip by because it graphically looks essentially the same as RCT1, and plays more or less the same.

>>4565682
Please go back. You're fooling no one, especially with that slippery slope bullshit

>>4565710
I like Tyson style maps that have berserk at the beginning so I can punch everything.

I mean, I love it, and there's a reason it is a secret, but since your gameplay seems to be inspired in the original episode, it seems like demons could be as menacing as they were back then. I think that's the reason the berserk pack appears only in the second episode.

I'm not really complaining. I like it,but perhaps other people would complain.

apparently someone is making a mod that places Duke in Gordon freeman shoes. Doom had many mods that incorporate characters from other games as a protag but this is the first time ive seen someone do that for halflife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jvT5yeC0Zs

>>4565735
not >>4565682, but
>allow discussion of games from xbox and ps2
>obviously there are going to be threads about xbox and ps2 games because they are allowed now
>there would be less place for slower retro threads because of the way boards work
that would be a completely expected (and intended) outcome of broadening a topic of the board, how is that a slippery slope? am i missing something?

>>4565691
If they stay in their generals, is it that bad?
I never liked those games, but they're pretty different from where their series are now.

>>4565754
>how is that a slippery slope?

Lads, I just found my pewter cyberdemon figurine and doom comic that I thought was lost a decade ago.

Also a miniature unreal tournament rocket launcher.

Top shit!

>>4565843
ok

>>4565843
Score.

>>4565846
96 is retro, right?

>>4565843
lucky bastard, I regret not having the full pewter set
Where's the mini RL from?

>>4565843
>>4565853
>miniature unreal tournament rocket launcher
Looks like it's the UT2003/Championship design, where/what did you get it from?

>>4565874
It's gotta be, it has yellow hazard stripes and a yellow rocket box instead of the color-coded red of the 2k4 design. Now I'm interested, too.

is this a new terry

>>4565853
>>4565843
good shit

>>4565429
btw dont listen to that other guy just start on uv, it's the way doom was meant to be played. hmp is so fucking lacking, many reduced enemies, there's no point and your run just won't be as fun.
especially when even on uv the iwads are gonna be easier than most wads you'll play after

>>4565621
>tfw when your mental image slowly takes shape
This is one of the feelings that keeps me mapping.

>>4565928
I'm with you, but there are exceptions though. The last bit of Scythe with fast monsters, for example. Usually they are noted.

>>4565940
oh yeah i was just talking about the iwads because I thought that's what he was starting with,
there are definitely some people who balance hmp in their wads towards the 'uv standard' and make uv really hard

Just realized something about the machine gun in Meta Doom: a single micro missile costs SIX bullets to be shot
If that doesn't seem too much, then i never heard anyone saying this mod has a problem with ammunation scarcity

>>4564893
This "mod" is still alive?
I thought this thing died when hdoom guy went to work on that mgq shit
Anyway here guys have some real art.

I call it "Bold and Brash"

>>4565974
It's not that bad
btw nice art

>>4565983
he's pretty angry that he gets accused for stealing stuff that he made himself just cause it's on BD.

>>4565983
discouraging cancer is nothing new, and ironic when the mod itself is cacner

>>4565987
Didn't know that. I would be mad.

>>4565990
explain, and use reasons other than "i don't like anime titties"

>>4566005
You seem defensive.

>>4565359
nice first release! there's a charm to maps like these i love and that you don't get from 'bigger' releases.
hope you do some more, look out for the 24hr/$24 Project this weekend :)

here's a shitty vid as usual
p1 https://streamable.com/hxh8k
p2 https://streamable.com/xwk7c

>>4566005
Already playing *THAT* card, huh?

>>4566015
Yes! Which allows me to draw 2 cards from my deck and add them to my hand!

I've got a question about setting an ambush.

I want to open the little rooms with imps on it when the player walks over the selected sector but I'm really heating myself up over it. I know it has something to do with the tags so I set the doors and sector to tag 1 to make them related or something like that.

>>4566023
lel

>>4566023
Not funny.

>>4565359
Possibly a bit easy, too bad it's not Doom 2 or I'd say add a few Revvies in the tunnels and mancubi towers in the open areas. Very nice detail though.

>>4566034
>too bad it's not Doom 2
You mean thank god.

>>4565359
yeah for your next map you could make hmp like the uv of this map, and make the uv of the next map plenty harder

>>4566040
>less monster variety is bad
I know you're just shitposting but come on now.

why does quake 2 on yamagi have a stutter/hiccup every second?

>>4565359
Pretty cool. Although personally the amount of areas that are pitch-black is a bit frustrating. Could use some more gradual lighting rather than just bright and black. Also if you're going for an old-school aesthetic, sector vehicles/furniture don't really fit.

>>4566024
You actually want to set the action you want (like door opening or whatever) on a linedef (like maybe on that 3 there) and set the tag to the same as the sector for your doors or whatever. Now when you hover over the linedef you've set to open a door when you walk over it, an arrow will point to all the associated sectors.

I'm new to this too sorry so not sure if I've got this all right

>>4566054
You got it right, thanks!

>>4566057
this guy has a lot of tutorials on stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp2Ov47YBe4
of course there's often different ways to achieve the same effect too

>>4566053
I thought the same at first, but then remembered Icarus and thought it was neat. After all, he's mixing old-school with a more modern approach with all the decorations he's used and the way he's used them.

>>4566010
maybe if you have no attack

>>4566005
stop forcing your fetish into doom

>>4566060
What I wanted to achieve was somethine very specific that I couldn't find anywhere.
What I really wanted was to the doors of the imps to actually slowly go down but I think I fucked up by making the rooms at different heights.

>>4566081
is this not what you're after? if you were using udmf i guess you could script it to whatever speed you wanted too

>>4566081
ohhh go down? instead of a door you need to use a floor action instead i think

>>4566080
so you have no reason, got it

>>4566080

Damn, how did you realize that I liked women?
Now everyone's going to think I'm a faggot.

>>4566085
I set the linedef to Lower to the Lowest floor but it goes all the way down to my pit instead of going just down to the level of the room keeping the monster.

>>4566091
>>4566090
Monster-girls are furry lite.

>>4566092
lower to nearest floor

>>4566093
sure

>>4566096
Of course I tried that but nothing happens.

>>4566091
>2018
>liking women
What are you, gay?

>>4566101
NVM I suck dicks. I mixed it up with "highest floor"

Don't even dare say the truth. They won't like it.

>>4566093

>>4566118
>overrated, one-note shit
overrated as in "everyone gets their knickers in a twist"? sure.
>creator pretty much scrapped everything unrelated to it
which is why he's still doing spritework for other mods right???

i ain't even a fan, all i did was ask and then you fucking flipped your lid l m a o
>what >>4566093 said

Rise Of The Triad was really fun :D
But Rise Of The Triad Extreme wasn't so fun D:

Was there ever any modding/mapping scene for it? I feel like I want some more, but there doesn't seem to be so much, not officially anyway.
I like the idea of Extreme being more challenging, but I found it just bullshits you too hard in too many places.

Hope the new mappers stick around, let's put together a pack sometime!

>>4566132

pretty sure "wow you're so insecure" isn't an argument but ok

>>4566150
Too bad they won't take the trash out for good. Dunno why they still allow the xenofag to post here.

Hypothetically speaking, how many of you would be interested in a YT channel that covered a lot of in-depth informational aspects to Doom? Things like random trivia, looking at monsters and weapons in depth, mechanical tips like chaingun sniping or strafe running, looking at the history behind each iwad and id Soft, and possibly even analyzing maps and various ports down the road. Just a lot of in-depth Doom autism in general.
Asking for a friend haha, except that friend is me. Keep in mind I'm a total newcomer when it comes to making and editing videos, but I trust myself to be able to write a script well enough and I'm a massive Doom autist so I figured this could give me something to put all of my encyclopedic knowledge to use while also making insightful content for veterans and newcomers alike. No promises but I'm starting to consider actually doing it.

Is using the blue computer circuits for a waterfall good?

>>4566159
Sounds awesome.

>>4566159
I'd be more interested in a proper Doom content review channel. Icarus is nice and all but he doesn't really do much more than show stuff off unless it's really bad. I'd like a map/mod review creator that tries to objectively break down what works, what doesn't, and give meaningful feedback.

>>4566160
probably

>>4566156
because he's not harming anybody

So I guess saying anything bad about that mod is forbidden now.

>>4566159
Hey give it a go mate, after you've got something going we can politely criticize it.
Something like Sony Vegas isn't hard to get into the basics which are still very effective.

>>4566171
Sure is. You know you get banned if you call out mike12's furry fetish.

>>4566170

>>4566176
Remember, it's okay when weebs do it.

>>4566159
Sounds good to me, I think you'd want to start off with what you've described then once you have established your "credentials" you can go onto what >>4566164 suggests, as I'd also be interested in that.

>>4565720
I was told that PC games are judged by what OS they run on. If you can play it on something like Win95 then it's allowed in.

>>4566159
Fucking epic dude, I'm all for it.

>>4566175
>faked a suicide
That's BZPlasma.

It's difficult to really keep a concrete log of what DOES happen considering anyone can be anon (and S'arais just fucking denies everything anyway), but even with what little we know for sure doesn't paint him in a good light.
What we have concrete knowledge of is spamming threads with bad maps (which itself is not that bad a thing), refusing to listen to criticism (which is only bad when he turns the critics into evil people that just want to keep him down and invents conspiracy theories about it), trying to import forum drama, impersonating other people, and is apparently under control by a fucking tulpa.

>>4566195
>impersonating other people

Now let's get back to the topic at hand.

I wish doom had more fucking trees it's got like 2 dead trees c'mon

>>4566220
Fair. There is that R667 trees package though, granted.

>>4566238
Yes, now just to figure out how to actually use them and other custom resources likes guns with boom in gzdb... there must be tutorials.

Doom in general lacks support for outdoor stuff, but that challenge and coming up with weird ideas to make it more convincing is part of the fun of mapping outdoors.

>Blood isn't yellow even though it was shittily re-colored from a re-color and is yellow in slade
fgsfds
Not that it matters considering I've hit a mapper's block so the map's probably going in the trash anyway.

>>4566245
Oh, that's simple. From what I recall you just need to replace a pre-existing actor, but IIRC, boom has slight support for not overwriting them. Huh.

>>4566172
>>4566189
>>4566201
Glad to know there's interest! I'll look into some video software like Sony Vegas in a while and see what I can learn, then try to put a starter video together; it'd probably cover some random trivia from various parts of Doom, or I might cover some basic trivia about Doom itself (like REALLY basic for starters; release date, creators, legacy and reactions, etc.) as a way to start things off. Admittedly this is probably going to seem like the Doom wiki was put into video format, but I know a lot of this info by heart and using the wiki would be mostly to double-check myself as to avoid accidental misinformation.
On a side note, I'd probably also use a "text on screen" format as opposed to speaking everything since I A) lack a decent microphone and B) live with others, so quietness and privacy may be uncommon (that and I'd be self-conscious as hell).
>>4566164
>>4566183
As for this, I do love to talk a lot about my opinions and analyses for scores of minutes at a time, so it's not entirely out of the question. But I'd probably save that for further down the road if this channel idea took off enough, as I feel like that kind of content is more or less covered for the time being.

>>4566268
Just the pen draw, which I was using for Shajeshogjjth and some of the outdoor areas in the Madness Combat/Nevada themed map. Gives a much more natural/organic feeling to stuff (consider it a Freehand mode based on hand/brush strokes) instead of manually placing nodes.

>>4566274
>I feel like that kind of content is more or less covered for the time being
It's really not, pretty much all we've got is Icarus and he's just a guy who does what are essentially commercials for the mods he plays and streams stuff. Anything with more analysis would be great.

https://www.google.com/search?q=complex+geometry&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjir_3HvY3ZAhXEuVkKHcaGDc8Q_AUICigB&biw=1536&bih=750

which one of these would look like a good Doom map?

>>4565874
>>4565890
There was a group making UT figurines for a while. This came from their Gorge model.

It was something like radioactive clown productions, I think?

I might still have Gorge knocking around too but he had some damage.

>>4566281
Ew. None of them.
They'd make nice skyboxes though, if albertoni's proved anything

>>4566281
You'd wanna use prboom for this shit

>>4566281
Might be cool as a sort of maze map

>>4566281
hey look it's KDIZD.

Who knows scripts here?
I want to achieve something similar to my character waking up with the screen fading in and out into black a couple of times to simulate blinking.

>>4566293

>>4566293

>>4566293
For all of what KDIZD gets wrong, it's flaws are still what it gets right, but wrong.
That makes no sense.

>>4566280
>>4566274
>>4566164

Seconding this, Icarus is great but since he started doing it weekly it's started to make mods really only able to show the surface features. It'd be good to see more in-depth stuff on some of the bigger mods.
How does the tracers of Weasel's Nazis! change the overall gameplay? How does Demonsteele handle its melee? Etc.
Start up the channel and link it here.

>>4566304
people keep mentioning icarus, what's one of his good vids?

>>4566303
>it's flaws are still what it gets right, but wrong.
what did he mean by this?

>>4566282
Neat. Did they make any waifigs like Sapphire?

>>4566313
The extra detail is appreciated- but it gets in the way of everything- particularly navigation.

The new routes/nonlinearity is really cool, but your brain still tries to go the normal route in vanilla, and the maps are bloated with far too much filler that, whilst nice additions, don't serve to enhance anything and just make the route more confusing.

The new secrets/other stuff is also nice, but it's retarded to fuck with the map layout/flow so much that the player has no fucking idea where he's going after the fifth time through the same area because he's been circling through secrets that aren't normally part of the map layout.

>>4566280
>>4566304
I suppose that's a fair justification. I wouldn't be against attempting to review mods with a more analytical focus to it - maybe like comparing weapon mods to vanilla weapons or seeing how the balancing compares, or how a gameplay mod changes the flow of the game or handles combat - but for now I have a greater interest in just covering lots of Doom knowledge and information to autistic lengths. I'll have to find a structure, write some scripts, and see what does and doesn't work.

>>4566159
I might check that out, assuming you don't do any of that old Channel Awesome shit with forcing in plots and what not.

Sadly no: http://www.toymania.com/columns/spotlight/unreal.shtml

>>4566342
>line didn't go on long enough to get Domina
BALLS

>>4566160
Maybe if you apply a scroll effect to it, otherwise it'll look weird that it's static.

If you're doing a Doom 1 thing, I just suggest copying the waterfall patches from Doom 2 and applying them to some animated texture you're not going to use, or which you're willing to sacrifice.

>>4566164
I actually would like that, Icarus is kind of... "bluh", if you get what I mean.

>>4566159
You mean something like MarphitimusBlackimus breakdown of Half-Life's obscure mechanics?
In any case, I will follow anything related to Doom and its community, so count me in. Bonus points if you are somewhat skilled (Icarus sometimes derps too much, and I can't stand his hate towards platforming).

It's a shame most Doom-related YT channels have so few suscribers.

>>4566245
You COULD make a tree by turning a sprite into a texture and just plopping it out.

It might look a bit weird though.

>>4566351
>MarphitimusBlackimus breakdown of Half-Life's obscure mechanics?
I love those videos, the Cockroach AI and gib skull mechanics are pretty fascinating.

>>4566349
I know what you mean. He basically makes 10-20 minute videos where he says as little as possible and doesn't form an opinion beyond surface level observations. At first he's alright but then you realize that nearly every video is exactly the same, and he's just copypasting the same video template over and over. I get that it's because he needs to crank out videos quickly for cash but still.
His streams are alright though, sometimes.

>>4566354
yeah to make that convincing, you'd probably need a bunch of textures all on top of one another

>>4566159
I liked the Evolution of the WAD series, where it was a round table of people talking about various maps and wads over the years. I'd like to see a format like that adopted for singular mapsets.

>>4566354
>>4566369
That's literally how trees were done in games for decades.

>>4566362
I like his content to get the basic gist of a mod, and to find new interesting mapsets to play.

>>4566318
If you go down that path, do me a solid and for every weapon replacement wad recommend to us a good map pack. I know it's hard, but I can't bring myself to play weapon replacement or even TCs because of that.

>>4566379
This is actually quite true. The right mapset can make or break a gameplay mod's impression.

DRLA seems to play nicely with anything with a vague storyline focus. (You're NOT the doomguy, so this kind of works out; hell has no problem slapping your shit vs. the original dude.

>>4566362
That, and that sometimes he doesn't do them justice. Sometimes he nitpicks something just to have something to say, or dislikes how the wad challenges him to become better (he's awful at platforming for example). And while he most probably has little to no time, he doesn't even get that far into most wads.

>>4566379
>for every weapon replacement wad recommend to us a good map pack
the answer to this is always plutonia

>>4566340
>assuming you don't do any of that old Channel Awesome shit with forcing in plots and what not.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. As in like meta-plots of the channel/personality that carry on throughout the videos, or something else?
>>4566351
>You mean something like MarphitimusBlackimus breakdown of Half-Life's obscure mechanics?
Possibly! I think for starting out I'll just cover some trivia and work my way into more in-depth topics like the history behind the major iwads or even differences between ports as I get a better grip on what I'm doing, but I'll definitely want to cover certain mechanics like how the BFG works in depth, as an example. I'm plenty skilled with playing Doom but I'm not entirely sure how often I'd be recording gameplay, I guess it'd have to be done for certain things though.
>>4566370
I've only watched one of those videos from that series, but it's certainly an interesting topic. Though admittedly, I haven't played many mega-wads or mapsets aside from the official iwads and a few like JPCP.
>>4566379
It'll be tricky, but I could certainly try! At least Final Doomer's weapon packs will be easy to determine.

>>4566395
Evolution works better as a round table discussion.

thanks for turning me on to Evolution of the WAD, good shit!

>>4566410
>thanks for turning me on
Whoa now.

Jumped into a sectorcraft server and made a little ruin. I like the idea of exploring through abandoned or elaborate places in maps, I sketched out a map idea of one too but I think it'd take a lot of thought and/or scripts just to make something that's beyond just wandering around inert, sterile areas.

>>4564881
Dunno if it had been brought up earlier, but stumbled upon someone who's been messing around with SNES Doom like testing the limits of the engine
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaxVVSdA_5R01A_172kdDZw

>>4566371
Yeah but it looked kind of shit.

For a game like Doom, a static sprite (either a single frame, or if you actually have them, rotations), looks a bit better and more consistent than a rigid plane.

>>4566379
Immoral Conduct felt (almost) perfect for Bloodstain, given how much emphasis Bloodstain puts on taking cover/running from cover to cover.

>>4566395
>As in like meta-plots of the channel
Mainly stuff like this, because it was almost never funny and usually lengthy or somehow really unbearable.
It got worse as Channel Awesome grew and they started sucking in a whole lot of nobodies who suddenly had to have space in people's videos for no fucking reason.
Linkara was the absolute fucking worst about this, especially given that he thought he could sing. The man cannot sing, and he's also completely inept at making his own material (he wasn't even really good at what he did, either).
Unrelated to them was the Moviebob guy, he thought Linkara's meta stuff was the shit, and imitated it, and was even worse at it, probably because it turned out later that he based it all on some kind of juvenile megalomaniacal/paranoid delusion of his. After the election he just lost his shitting mind and starting speaking of "obsolete Americans" and all sorts of other creepy and sinister shit which you'd hear someone with dictatorship/genocide aspirations. Like, not arguably offensive banter like you'd see on 4chan, more stuff that sounds like he had concrete plans in his mind for putting the entire American midwest into concentration camps.

Basically, make sure to keep your ego in check, and if you're some manner of crazy, don't let it shine through too much. When you make a channel about a subject like this, it should always at least 80% about the subject matter at hand, unless maybe you're decent at comedy, in which case maybe you could fit in a relevant joke or snarky line here or there (but I wouldn't force it, humor is hard and if it fails, it fails hard and your material suffers greatly from it).

>personality that carry on throughout the videos
I don't so much mind this, as long as it's just *you* as yourself, and just *your* opinions, and you don't make it the focus point of your content. Don't invent characters, narratives or stories.

>>4566159
go for it as long as your elocution is good

>>4566424
Sounds nice. I really have to hit the multiplayer. Any more screenshots you could share?

Hey, I've gotten back to ZDoom modding and am making a melee weapon that causes splash damage. How do I make an explosion that doesn't hurt the player or push them away?

Picture of what I'm working on to gain attention. It's a work in progress single map TC for the Vinesauce mapping contest.

>>4566493
Make the playerpawn immune to its damagetype?

>>4566480

>Basically, make sure to keep your ego in check, and if you're some manner of crazy, don't let it shine through too much.
Shouldn't be an issue, I'm very mindful of my presentation and self-image so I doubt I'd do anything stupid.
>When you make a channel about a subject like this, it should always at least 80% about the subject matter at hand
Which is what I intend to do; at most, maybe far down the road, I might cover some opinion/review videos for other 90's FPS games or some of my other favorite games like Castlevania, but the main focus would always be Doom.
>unless maybe you're decent at comedy, in which case maybe you could fit in a relevant joke or snarky line here or there
I probably wouldn't try unless I thought the small joke was funny enough. I thought it might be humorous to throw in some enemies that obviously don't belong during gameplay footage (like say, a cyberdemon teleporting into the middle of E1M1), but that gag would only work so many times.
>Don't invent characters, narratives or stories.
Totally agree, I hate that current trend of e-celeb "dark ego" personas that's going, but that's a topic better left undisturbed.
>>4566473
I'll probably stick to text-on-screen for the time being, but I might invest in a better microphone down the road. I can speak clearly just well, but I have a very monotone voice and would need to find some quiet time for recordings if I'm speaking an entire script aloud.

>>4566517
>e-celeb "dark ego" personas
I don't know what this is, but it sounds delightfully terrible. Time to go video searching.

>>4566515

But the third argument is a bunch of flags. How does making it 0 make player immune to it? Sorry, can't test this right now because I want to make the weapon graphics first, then the decorate side of it.

>>4566529
Not that guy, the flags are an enum, so they're actually just numbers. 0 is no flags.

>>4566529
if it's 0, that means none of the flags are set
one of the flags is XF_HURTSOURCE
so if that's not set...

>>4566369
you could do this

So I just looked up "evil persona" on hooktube and was met with a video about "Top 5 youtubers with SECRETLY EVIL Personas!"

>>4566530
>>4566531

Ahh, now I understand. Thanks.

Here's a thing I found: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=39782
Apparently the guy who made WeedsGM3 soundfont I am now using for all my midi needs had made an update long ago and didn't bother uploading it anywhere.
I managed to find a non-dead link and downloaded it, but it's an "update" sf.2 that is quarter the size of the original, and Doom can only take 1 soundfont at a time. How do I patch original WeedsGM3 with this update?

>>4566517
>I have no clue who they are but it sounds awful and autistic in the bad way
I'm really sorry you had to see that, but I want you to know just how bad things can be when insane/unstable people with limited talent let their ego grow uncontrollably.

You're likely not that kind of kook, but you don't want to go down that path regardless.

>>4566534
>>4566537
Interesting idea. Might wanna put a leaf chunk on top, too, so you don't have a bald tree.

>>4566275

That's one of the things I'm not a big fan of in Doom maps. The game looks retro, pixelated and blocky, and there's no going around that. Manually placed nodes and using as little lines for organic structures is the way to go IMO.

>>4566538
Best of luck to you with that can of cringe, anon. I only know of "Darkiplier" and "Antisepticeye", and honestly seeing thumbnails of them is enough cringe material on their own. I'll pass on looking further into that mess.
>>4566567
I've definitely seen a few "bad jokes/meta-personas taken too far" in videos in the past, and I've definitely seen some channels that not only write unfunny gags that they think are funny, but also carry them on for WAY too long. Timing and delivery are key, yet they drag it out well past its welcome.
But that aside, I don't think I'd let my ego go unchecked with this sort of thing. I've had very small followings before with some content I made years ago and I enjoyed the close interactivity I had with those fans, but I've never had anything like that on a "larger" scale (large as in a few hundred to thousand followers, which is nothing in comparison these days). At most I'd probably just enjoy interacting with commenters or do Q&A type videos in order to interact with my following, since I think that's something that's fun to do as a content creator.

>>4566575
>>4566534

you just reminded me that youtube used to have video responses
I kinda miss those

>>4566553
Who would have thought. Well, now I'm looking into how to do that. If I'm not wrong, to have Doom use WeedsGM3 + the patch, you'd need a MIDI device that has a load order, such as VirtualMIDISynth, and then load the sf2 many times telling the program to only load certain banks/presets (pic related).

Otherwise, and perhaps the best option in the long run, is to learn how to create your own .sf2. I used to know how. I'll google it tomorrow.

>>4566586

When I make videos/do streams, I try to focus on the content first and foremost. No overlays, no cams, no catchphrases, no running gags from video to video, the absolute most I have is a chat overlay.
Vidya should always be the focus--a good vidya is a good vidya and doesn't need improved with extraneous bullshit, and a bad vidya can still be fun with friends without needing to be wacky about it.

If anyone has seedboxes or FTPs they want to upload to directly let me know because I think it's important this torrent lives on

I've been making Youtube Doom vids (for myself mostly) so looking for any good 1 map set or short eps.

I'm also after good weapon / enemy mods that work with most any WAD, I've mainly been using smooth doom + ketchup

It's one part autism (in the bad way) being taken too far and one part e-celebs appealing to their massive teenage audiences, because they eat that shit right up.
>>4566614
>I try to focus on the content first and foremost. No overlays, no cams, no catchphrases, no running gags from video to video
I can pretty much agree to that sentiment. At most I'd just have a quick intro for videos (like 3 seconds max, I hate anything that goes on for longer than 5-10 seconds and especially those that take 30s+) and just stick to presenting information/playing the game/etc.

>>4566607
Well, after some strained watching of some of these videos, all I can fathom is that it is some weird boyband thing. These Let's Players do these "evil alter egos" where they dress up like Panic at the Disco members and do "badass" grins, and their children fans eat it up. I went down the rabbit hole of cringe and found awful fan animations and AMVs featuring this "Darkiplier."

I don't understand. DOOM exists and you spend your time with this faggy shit? Poor kids, they don't know better.

How long does it take you lads to make maps?
Took me 16+ hours to make this and that's only the basic architecture (almost no texturing or detailing), feels pretty pathetic.

he has no arm because he lost them for a sacrifice so stop asking me why he has no arms ok
he is the very opposite of doomguy

I'd argue against that, but whatever floats your boat.
Might be part of the issue with my maps though.

That seems to be another major flaw of mine. I'll get to a point that I just have a gut feeling that something's missing, (I mostly map by heart/instinct/whatever so what comes to me and what feels right is what i make.) but can never figure out what it is, usually with it staring me flat in the face.

I'm mostly done with earlier segments as you can see, but the later segments in the main AAHW Base/Building (The Employers are set to have found demonic artifacts similar to those on Phobos/Deimos, and all hell breaks loose despite already being in hell)

I discovered a problem with Weeds though, as Im using it to convert some music to Mp3.

Very noticable on D_ROMERO track of BTSX E1 soundtrack - the tremolo strings that begin at 0:35 and other ones that begin at 0:47 give weird trembling on Weeds, while thye do not tremble and sound as intended on Patch93's Roland.

I tired to splice Roland and Weeds together by importing instruments and samples from one to other via Polyphone soundfont editor but apparently I am doing something wrong and it has no effect. Can someone more knowledgable on the matter do that for me?
So far I only found that instrument to sound wrong, eveything else sounds great so far so I'd like to only have that one replaced.
Maybe I got the wrong instrument, IDK, but my midi editor tells me that channels 5,6, and 7 of D_ROMERO track of BTSX E1 are tremelo.

Well, unless you're literally monochrome you can get ones that will help I think. Also aren't you an aussie? Don't you guys have a nice socialized healthcare system?

A lot of kids remember doing so.

I belive so, yes. MDKrinkels is finally getting around to finishing MC11 soon, and he's made a few smaller animations on the side. Meanwhile, Kelzad's filled the void left over, with the "REALM" sub-series. Project Nexus 2 is also in development.

Former kids, I should say.
Seemed to be a part of a lot of people's childhood; watching madness in school.
couldn't do that today. you'd be a terrorist, lol.

is there a way to make enemies kinda mill about in a small area just by themselves, without reacting to the player? sometimes it feels kinda weird just coming up on all these enemies who seem very static then all of a sudden kick into action. Feels too robotic.

>>4566836
Patrol points and/or a wander flag, I guess?

>>4566843
OK so for something like A_Wander, you can only use that stuff inside zdoom ports? You can't use that kinda stuff with boom maps (which can only use DEHACKED?)

>>4566852
I guess? The closest thing would be to give a sound tunnel to them so they hear the player's shots.

>>4566852
>>4566854
I know the Strife peasants wander on their own. Might want to look at that.

>>4566856

How do I replace a preset and instrument in one soundfont (Weeds) with a preset/instruments from another soundfont (Patch93's Roland)?

Weeds overall sounds great apart fromthat weird issue where tremolos do not loop right.

>>4566884
Needs to be a bit more thick to be done by me.

>>4566963
or is it not tremolos but some other instrument IDK.
Can someone confirm by going to 0:35 in D_ROMERO of BTSXE e1?

anyone play powerslave ex lately? The mouselook is totally fucked, apparently since the windows 10 fall creators update. I know doom 64 ex was fixable by updating the SDL.dll file, but idk about powerslave ex. It looks like it uses SDL2...

>>4567032
Let's not devolve into a fatfur thread

>>4567004
IIRC the guy who holds the rights gave verbal permission to Kaiser to release his version with the game resources as non-comercial project.
Nightdive decided they can cash in on it and prevented Kaiser from releasing itfor free, while they tried to get the actual rights. What happened then is a mystery, maybe they didn't get the actual rights and Powerslave is in legal limbo, and they are enough of a jews to not allow Kaiser release it for free.

>>4565359
it is a shame you declared this map gzdoom-only as there is very little in it that is not vanilla enough to be portable. i was able to play through it in my prboom-based engine just fine. just don't open the menus or look at the title screen as M_DOOM and TITLEPIC are PNG files.

there are visual errors due to use of masked textures on single sided walls (what was once known as the tutti-fruitti effect - in my engine they show up as bright white due to an implementation detail), and 2s middle textures bleeding through floors, something that would be hidden by GL rendering. the small crate opposite the red key retains the flat from the surrounding floor, instead of using cratop or something appropriate. finally please conceal the many double-sided lines used only for decoration with the "secret (1s-wall)" linedef flag, as otherwise it looks like your map is full of secret doors that don't do anything.

i agree with previous commenters that the contrast between light and dark is excessive, IMO one rarely needs to go outside of the range 128-192 for effective lighting. i also agree it was on the easy side. the E1 influence was clear, particularly E1M1 green armour pedestal, and E1M3 catwalks over slime at the end of the map, but it is even easier than the originals, outside of initial shell starvation and forced pistol usage, at least until you get the chaingun.

i once thought of a tumblr blog named something like "know your demons" that would post info about doom monsters, that'd even include obscure stuff from the rpg games and doom 3: ROE or interesting trivia like who some d64 monsters play differently, with the first post being that demons strats video and even make posts about stuff like infighting
and also bring in like fan art, fan designs or stuff about monsters from mods and etc

>>4567260
i missed most of the secrets first time round, but went back for them. i reached the exit with 100% kills after 8 minutes or so, but only 1/4 secrets. the latter of the three parts of video is mostly just searching for the final secret.

but the secrets were well placed. hidden areas, not just closets with unaligned textures or whatever. overall a good map if a bit visually overcluttered with detail for my tastes.

There's a lot of shit there. Real shit.

>>4566686
Sadly, I forgot most of what I knew about midi. But perhaps this helps:
Load up the midi you're trying to convert with a midi player that lets you mute different instrument (Vanbasco player is good and quick to install). Play the midi you're converting using the normal sounds, but mute everything except for the tremolo strings. Record it. Then play it again with Weeds soundfont, muting the tremolo strings, and record that too. Then just combine both (use Audacity for example).

I know it's not the best solution, wish I knew more, but hope that helps.

>>4566686
>>4567376
If everything fails, try asking this guy. He "remixed" (recorded with soundfonts) various PWADs' music, such as Ancient Aliens. Perhaps he knows a bit more about it.

>>4567379
My bad, forgot link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPxpTPXrVJM&t=1s

>>4566968
Just did, indeed that is tremolo strings. Also, preset number 44 if that helps.

>>4567380
This guys remixes are crap with swallowed up instruments, especially noticable in those very same BTSX tracks that have a wide range on different tracks, it's like half of the melody isn't even there. The soundfonts he uses are inferior to Weeds and Roland SC-50.

>>4567376
I know I can do that, but I want to have good sound in the game itself as well,soultimately, I want a soundfont that combines the best of all two.


>>4567395
000:44, I know.

I tried splicing the soundfonts together by removing those tremolo instruments from Weeds and putting Rolands version in - I put in all the instruments, presets and samples required - but apparently that is not all that needs to be done and I don't know how to edit the definitions in the right way.

Ideally I'd like to just fix Weeds without the need to splice - the problem lies in the bad looping of the sample which creates a "hiccup". In all samples there's a defined "endloop" that is engaged whenever note is extended. In Roland it loops nicely into a long sound. In Weeds it loops in a bad way with volume going up and down rapidly creating a trembling.

Ideal solution would be finding the loop that went wrong in the Weeds and fixing it.

I am at the work now and don't have the tools, but once I get back home I'll provide a sample.

>>4567398
I agree that most don't sound well, but a few sound a bit better. Soft attack sounds and slow pads are one example of problems when switching soundfonts, since everything smaller than a half-note won't be heard.

In the case of Tremolo strings, I think the problem is that "tremolo" means "play as fast as you can". Trying to achieve that with soundfonts sounds poorly, but Weeds sounds far more "appropriate" in that sense, whereas Roland's sound simply disregards the "tremolo part" and is just String Ensemble 3, and most midis are written regarding it as such.

Perhaps you could try the load order? You'd need to have Roland's .sf2, but you just load both (Roland's first), then Weeds on top, but skipping preset number 44.

>>4567404
As I said, I can do that, but I that won't work for the game, as it can only use one soundfont at a time and does not use windows synth for it so VirtualMIDISynth has no effect.

Are there any slaughtermaps for Quake 1 and/or 2? Any gameplay footage on Youtube so I could see how they work there?

>>4567420
Arcane Dimensions.

>>4567432
just played this mod today and I can confirm it's pretty great. Best map design I have seen for Quake 1 yet. New enemies and guns are pretty cool too, but the levels are the star of this mod.

>>4566137
At least there's Return of the Triad for G/ZDoom.

>>4566159
I probably wouldn't bother watching as there have already been many videos on Doom, it's history and even dedicated channels to Doom mods. There is already more content than I care for.

Now that Douk World Tour is kill just like Megaton, is eduke32 the only way to play Douk this days?

>>4567503
What happened to world tour? Will those new levels ever be freed from Gearbox's clutches?

did they remove the "ambient light level" option from recent gzdoom versions or was it never a thing?

>>4567512
WT got DMCAd the hell out of Steam because apparently Gearbox has problems with the rights to the franchise and Duke's license got lost in a legal limbo.
Karma boomerang is ironic like that.

>>4567517
It was removed at around 2.2 or something alongside the dynamic lights customisation because it "ruins developer's vision of the map". Ir onically it also broke quite a few GZD maps which relied on player being able to customize those options to their liking (HontE).

>>4567512

Gearbox doing Gearbox things

Douk did nothing wrong for suffering like this, I almost feel bad for that, because sometimes I enjoy playing more Duke than DOOM

>>4565915
My godness it's even worse than I thought, it's like if it was made by 12 years old boy who watched too many Aquarius wad reviews

>>4567654
all we know is duke disappeared from steam and Gearbox pretends everything is fine

im kinda behind, is there a way to play in those new "Brutalized" classic doom levels without having to play in brutal doom gameplay/with other mods like D4T?
