>>4645506
This isn't true. Some people have an easier time because they can grasp the tools better than others/have better knowledge of the games they map for, but practice makes perfect. I've been mapping for more than a decade and it took me about half of that time to get good.

My least fav jpcp map already.

Here's a great classic-style Quake map released a month ago. Only found out about it yesterday so maybe other people missed it as well.

You don't get good at anything overnight, especially not something like level design. It's not an impossible task but you have to practice lots and lots to get good. What differentiates a good level designer from an average one are practice and intimate knowledge of the game's mechanics, design and systems, so it is good to study the game carefully before laying a single brush down.

I have never seen, in my whole level design career, anyone who started making perfect maps on first try. That just never, ever happens. Everybody started by making crap maps and shoddy experiments.

Level design is also super broad a term for retro games, since you basically do pretty much everything, from layout design to scripting to architecture to lighting to encounter design, etc, which are mostly separate fields in modern game dev. I have the utmost conviction that practicing level design a lot on retro games like Doom or Quake (especially Quake et al cause it's true 3D) gives you a significant edge over, say, professional environment artists who may not understand the problems and roadblocks a professional level designer can encounter when working together or vice versa. Keep in mind also that you most probably won't be good at every aspect of level design; for example I downright terrible at scripting because that bores me to tears.

>>4645595
(this is of course if you want to make a living in level design/any field that has to do with level design).

>>4645595
Do you know of any writing on map design theory? As an aspiring level designer that would be of use to me.

>>4645601
Writing, not off the top of my head, but there are tons of GDC talks about level design you can find on Youtube. These are super interesting and very good overall (and are pretty much the only thing of interest in GDC to me). I also don't like Mike Brown much but he did a pretty good level design video on Uncharted 4 I believe which I recommend watching.

Listening to developer commentaries on some games is also pretty insightful. It's always interesting to listen to Valve devs talk about level design in HL2 and other 'recent' games of theirs. The level design for HL2 is super linear but they use very broad techniques that can work in many situations.

>spent time importing textures in slade

I really just want to make a cool linear medieval-esc map but I did this shit 5 times already and I keep doing the same mistake, Jesus I hate my brain

>>4645610
Sometimes it's better to lose progress. You already have an idea on what you want to make, and may even make it better than the first time.

>>4645601
Funnily enough, John Romero says that most map designers consider "Designing Disney" by John Hench as a fundamental book. He says that the architecture and visual design of theme parks (and specifically Disney's) is the mindset game and level designers should have.

>>4645607
Outside of very empirical information, such as how to improve performance, reports on demographs I've never seen anything on GDC I thought was any good. Everything else just seems like rubbish, or even worst encouraging the dumbing down of your level.

>>4645514
not unless operated

>>4645634
I disagree, but I do find 'academic' level design too safe and boring, personally. I am self-taught and never went to any game design school. What I learned was through dissecting games I liked, careful scrutiny and trial & error.

Would John Romero be able to casually publish tool and asset sources for Quake the same way he did for Doom a few years ago?

I think Going Down is just not for me.
I'm willing to bet they get really interesting and creative, but the difficulty spikes/style of the second through fifth/sixth map is just ridiculous and not fun.

How am I supposed to even play around the giant spawn wave in Blood & Rockets? How am I supposed to kill high damage enemies spawning in three different angles away from where I'm meant to be looking?

I'm sure it's great but I'm going to have to grab some crazy overpowered gameplay mod to enjoy it.

>>4645679
QuakeEd's code was already published years and years ago- not that long after Quake's release, actually- but no one could use it because it was developed for NeXTSTEP systems which nobody owned. That aside, community made tools have long since surpassed anything id was using at the time, both editing wise (Radiant, Worldcraft, etc. for traditional three-views, Trenchbroom for 3D, JACK for a combo) and compiling (tyrutils and later ericw's tools have added so many extra options that still work in vanilla WinQuake id1 it's crazy).

The QuakeC source files were publicly released a ways back as well, as was the id Tech 2 engine source code (although I don't remember if it was Q1 or Q2).

Someone in the last thread said that fighting MegaTen demons in Doom would be dope as hell. Anons of /doom/, how would you do a wad of the Doomguy fighting his way through the demons we know and love, and the demons of Shin Megami Tensei?

>>4645721
someone made that years ago, it's based on Strange Journey because spess muhreens.

>>4645482
Anyone else experience lag on GZDoom recently? Particularly with WADs? I've been experiencing this with Darkesthour.WAD to be exact.

>>4645728
I should have clarified a bit. I was thinking of a megawad where you have to wade through the hordes of Doom demons, MegaTen demons, angels, Satan, and even *record scratch* himself. All with vanilla weaponry.

>>4645732
Not really, I was kind of having some lag, but I'm pretty sure it was because I extended the range of my flashlight mod, it went back to pretty much lagless after I turned down the range of it.

>>4645732
Yes, very much so. 64bit Not sure what's going on.

I had anistropic filtering on, anti aliasing and a ton of other stuff like multisampling before and it ran fine but just recently it's been running ever so slightly slow, regardless of WAD and even after I disable 90% of this stuff.

>>4645708

Telling ya'. No motivation to map if you're gonna waste 5 years of your life learning how to make something someone with little experience made better in less than a few months. And when you manage to make a good map not more than 30 people will play it sorry

Playing through TNT: Evilution reminds me of how palatable megaWADS can be when later levels don't have 200+ enemies.

How many unreleased maps did these guys make before they published their first ever wad? Ever thought about that?

Anyone got cool / interesting color suggestions for GZDoom automap? Screenshots would be cool too.

the idea that someone with little experience can make something fantastic on their first go is pure fantasy

>>4645786
>Erik Alm etc. just came out swinging with their first ever wads

Erik Alm's "come out swinging" moment was Scythe, which was multiple years after his first public work.
Stop inventing excuses and learn how to map. Yeah, it takes a while to do well. Yeah, it fucking sucks that you're going to start shitty and take forever to get to that point. Yeah, it fucking sucks that even once you do you're going to compete with a whole bunch of other people.
Do it anyway, faggot.

In terms of feeling like mapmaking is an uphill battle because you'll put so much effort into something that few people will probably actually play, this isn't the same, but I think it's similar. Jeff Gerstmann's review for Super Mario Maker has an interesting point:

>Ultimately, this is how I'd recommend you play the game, as well. Play it with at least one friend in mind. Make levels and send them back and forth... You don't need fancy streaming equipment or social media to make Super Mario Maker work. You just need someone who's willing to go down the rabbit hole with you. One person.

I've never tried it nor have I tried mapping either, but this seems like an interesting way to feel like mapping is meaningful. Having at least one someone who will play and react to whatever garbage you make while you play and react to theirs could give an immediate sense of progression and continuity in your mapping career: you make a map, you get a response on it, you play your friend's map and get inspiration for yours, and there's a collaborative, conversational process that would naturally evolve your skills over time.

Of course, step one is making a friend who will learn to map with you. Of course, step zero is making friends.

so what do you fellas think of the GZD data collection thing?

>>4645974
never heard of it til now

>>4645974
I understand why they're doing it, and it's a legit reason. It's just another example of their autism that they can't understand why people would be bothered by it, and had to be pressured into even allowing an opt-out feature

>>4645974
most retarded niggery i've ever heard, but they say it's temporary so whatever

>>4645974

I hate that the only justification they (repeatedly) fall back on for it is "But other things on the internet do it a lot too!".

>>4645979
Devs are proposing it; they want to find out how many of the users are running the game in OpenGL 2.0, so they can feel justified in removing support for it when they find out most people don't.

>>4646147
It's less about what it actually does and more about it being completely unacceptable for many people. Source port users don't want the thing to be sending data back to some remote location that probably isn't even very secure in the first place, even if the data is relatively useless.

>>4645974
How do they collect data? can I type things using the chat and they'll get the message? because I definitely have some suggestions - disabling sprite smoothing by default for example

>>4646068
>March 16

>>4646158
It sends useless data exactly once. All it serves for is to make charts tracking hardware usage percentiles.
This is all faggots taking it the worst possible way because it's Graf, let's be honest. Even of he's still ab utter faggot.

>>4646160
When you run GZD it sends them the version being used, your IP address, the WAD being played, keybindings, system specs, antivirus program, steam/gog/uplay/origin/microsoft/xbox account, and how long it's been since you took a bath

>>4646165
>All it serves for is to make charts tracking hardware usage percentiles.
When Steam does it they at least make it a manual survey you have to consent to instead of something they do behind your back like all the other shit they do with your personal information.
Seriously why even implement data collection rather than just put a survey or something up instead? If it wasn't one of the best source ports out there to use people would probably have stopped using it because of this.

>>4646171
This gives massively larger amounts of data for the charts with no effort from the users.
If you're afraid of it collecting data 'behind your back' -it's not, they made a thread to inform people about it- then read the source code. Not that I'd expect you to know how to read even a batch script.
Oh lauds, they know your system is 64 bits, whatever shall we do?

>>4646172

>Oh lauds, they know your system is 64 bits, whatever shall we do?

Honestly this.

Who cares if you don't like data collection, it's completely harmless in this case.

If you really have a problem with it you can just not use GZDoom and never have to deal with it ever again, oh no wait you can't because if you could you wouldn't actually have a reason to bitch and moan about it in the first place.

>>4646169
well at least they're not touching my bitcoins

>>4646172
>they made a thread to inform people about it
And in the very same thread people have been making the same concerns and complaints about the data collection. If it was really this underwhelming of an issue why would so much of the community even be bringing it up in the first place?
You are right though, it is harmless, but I still think they could've at least had a little courtesy to let people have a choice in their privacy.

Straight from the fag's mouth.
Most people that look for software like this don't even look at anything other than the actual download page and what the software itself presents.
It wouldn't be considered behind people's backs if your assumption that every single user actually goes to the threads and reads the source code back to front, but the real world isn't like that.

I really love this mapset.

Going Down is best played with stuff like Trailblazer.
Vanilla weapons are too weak for the chaos it descends into.

So, my work on ProjectILE has stalled out a ton- mostly because I'm having issues getting the BFG replacement working the way I like it. Plus moving apartments and all, but that's an aside.

Instead I'm considering giving the player a class-based upgrade, or a class-themed weapon or power, but I wanted to gauge interest:

>Warmage: Gets a magical kite shield, medieval style, that will slowly regenerate his armor with 100% damage absorption but a cap of 50. Holds the starter pistol in his other hand. Firing will use up pistol armmo, while altfire will make the shield detonate some of the warmage's armor, blasting enemies away.
>Arcanist: Slowly regenerates mana- The altfire will use a shitton of that to plain outright zorch enemies from existence.
And then I'm kinda stuck on the beguiler. It's got a high move speed, and it's starter power already lets it phase through objects. I was thinking something timestop related, but that kinda feels overdone- even if ProjectILE's entire point at the start was to make hitscan attacks into projectiles.

>>4646479
>almost nobody plays it in Software mode.
Except QZDoom got merged into it, sooo...
Anyway I try to play it in Software a lot of the time, problem is sometimes it just crashes when it has trouble rendering things (it crashes partway through 3rd map of UTNT when looking down a foggy passage)

>>4646479
What do you think happened to all ZDoom users after it folded? Do you think they all stopped playing Doom completely?

>>4646497
I don't know, probably.
Just because you prefer Software, doesn't mean OpenGL 2.0 compatibility needs to be axed.

>>4646502
Generally you have to pay people to maintain legacy code and compatibility cruft, because it isn't fun.

How does /doom/ feel about reloading in Doom mods?

>>4646675
What is wrong with her right arm

>>4646696
Entirely neutral myself. I don't like how Doom makes you wait before switching weapons though. I wish it were instant like quake

>>4646696
Depends, if it's actually thought out and the reloading serves a genuine purpose to the flow of the gameplay, it's fine, but a lot of bad mods will just tack it on there.

>>4646650
In terms of anything

>>4646696
as with many things it's all in the execution
>gun porn with neat sounds and animations
very yes
>lazy goldeneye-style
okay i guess, weapons better be strong if i have to stop shooting every so often
>lazy goldeneye-style, but as slow as the gun porn reloads
very no

ammo mechanics come into play as well
if it's just a normal doom ammo pool, that's not really all that fun or interesting
bring in mags and you're on the right track, you have to consider whether it's worth discarding your unused rounds to top off before the next fight
add one in the chamber mechanics on top of that and now you've made something fun out of what's normally a chore, as you try to control your fire so you can get those perfect reloads every time

Do you guys think it's better to compile GZDoom from Github and run that or just use Wine on Linux?

>>4646696
>>4646702
It can be used as a gimmick to nerf a weapon, like having a pistol that does nice damage or fire rate, but then you have to reload it.
> Bonus points if it uses the same ammo as another weapon but you have to "condition" the ammo for the weapon
> such as loading a magazine from chaingun ammo and the pistol uses the magazine as ammo and just gives you a counter for currently loaded shots.
> Also would be a nice touch for the BFG so that you can actually only use it 4 times, because you'd have to stick a cell in it and let the gun internally charge its capacitors off of that
(makes you switch to a fake weapon that shows you plugging the cell in the BFG and the lights on it start increasing for adding charge, or in the case of the pistol loading bullets into a magazine)

Whereas some other weapons can hand-wave reloading like the RL or plasma gun. Breaks consistency but who cares. SSG already requires reloading but its part and parcel to its firing state.

I DO not like reloading across the board for everything. Reloading needs to be a per-weapon gimmick (as in, only for certain weapons) imposed to balance the weapon and nerf it, so that it can be more satisfyingly stronger. If its done across the board it gets annoying and interferes with the classic vibe (regardless of the mod).

Fast Weapon Switching SHOULD be a thing, but im happy with 2x switch speed. Its too bad we cant use 0.5 tic frames and let the game just clip them off if interpolation isnt present. Having 1/0 raise and lower frames is okay enough right now though.
> I do not like how quake1 has instant switch because it really looks cheesy like the designers wanted to skip making lower/raise frames (ie, since its blatantly unrealistic it looks like an error, like "no way they actually intended for it to instantly switch, they just forgot to code the transition").

>>4646719
there's no reason you should be having to use wine. what's your distribution? it looks like they provide ubuntu packages directly from https://zdoom.org/downloads , and arch has it in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gzdoom/

>>4646762
Fedora.

Please don't laugh.

>>4646764
why would i laugh, it's a fine distribution. the name is a little unfortunate, but it predates the memes by years
unfortunately it doesn't seem to have packages (searched on https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/doom ) but i suppose you know that already as you wouldn't be asking here otherwise.

Oh HELL TO THE FUCK NO

>>4646696
When it's mods which have notably different behavior from the original ones, I vastly prefer it.

Generally, I like a reload that shows off a bit, but also doesn't waste your time.
Like how in Accessories To Murder, the rifle is centered, on reload, it tilts to the side for a brief and slick (yet realistic) reload.

Doom 3 also had this cool thing where you reloaded 2 shells at a time into the shotgun, which made reload time faster.

>>4646702
same

>>4646702
You can vastly up the speed at which a weapon switches by adding a 0 tic long frame in the raise and lower states respectively, (technically causing them to loop faster, thus display faster). The more 0 tic frames you add, the faster this happens.

If you were to copy all the Decorate code for the weapons and just added that on all of them, weapon switching would always be faster.

>>4646841
> inb4 buttfags will say its underpowered, but then again I am running a 25 year old game

You're playing Doom under a source port that deliberately requires and makes use of the features and improvements of modern hardware.

>>4646872
>>4646873
The problem I have with it is the "Deliberately Requires" part. Since it should be easy to shut off everything that takes advantage of modern stuff. At least under Software Renderer it allows you to turn Off the truecolor renderer now
> there's just a certain look/grainy recoloring that happens with software that I miss when truecolor is turned on


Also with some advanced features there should be legacy or low-scale backends available to switch to. Like how some games that normally run under DX9c provide the option to use DX8 quality shaders (FEAR does this).


Im using GZdoom mainly to play the mods and make my own mods/tweaks, taking advantage of the gameplay features (action functions, etc).
> Could care less about the real glitz and glamour associated with the modern architecture.
> Would return it to Software mode even if I had the option of hardware, because texture blending is wholly inappropriate for doom-level resolution textures and sprite monsters.
Only gzdoom graphic performance stuff I care about is making sprites rotate (setroll, which I still cant benefit from in software mode). Ive mastered additive blending with palette translations on projectiles, but thats been around since zdoom.

Although I can view dynamic lights now I dont generally care about them, I might play around with it now that ive got the chance.

My main worry is that newer editions at some point will drop compatability altogether for what I like doing, while adding new features that I really want to use, and new mods taking advantage of them that I wont be able to since ill be stuck on an older version.

Another reason why GZDoom needs to have competition.

>>4646909
> whims
> like sgt mark iv

>>4646906
It's never going away.

I've gonna go and come up with a shitty thought right now:
Doom modding is pretty much one of the biggest legacies of one of the most important video games, that some of its devs wanted something like this to happen, while some say it even inspired some of the modding scene as a whole.
Then we have GZDoom, the most popular source port for the game (at least in the case of most mods), but at the same time, it's having some problems and negative shit, that sounds bad enough, for it to even be considered "scary".
So, the question is: if id software themselves, at least its founders or original members, heard about this happening, how would they react?
Would they consider a violation to an importang game's legacy or just typical fanbase drama?
This is probably one of the worst posts yet, but i've thought about this since the Lilith.pk3 drama.

>>4646927
They have no standards, they love Brutal Doom.

>>4646927
They don't care.

>>4646906
speaking of darkspaces ive had this idea for a long time about how someone ought to just take the Quake 2 engine and write an overlay on it to make it run Doom.
> Because then it would be fully 3d and the only problem involved in it would be translating levels into q2 maps.

Everything else would be easy peasy for a good coder to do tie-ins with functions. Map objects would be invisible cylinder objects of a given scaled size that displayed a sprite for the user, based on rotation and facing. Weapon sprites would effectively be screen overlays.

>>4646927
>>4646934
Im not aware of the lilith.pk3 stuff... but mostly I think those original devs are laughing and mildly intrigued as to how far doom modding has gotten.

Probably a mixture of both over how far it hasn't gotten considering that everything GZdoom related could have been done in 2007 most likely.
> they have no standards
then again they might be actual closet devil worshippers for all we know

>>4646909
I think QZDoom will take over, or over developers will take on guiding GZDoom; I'm sure there's a better future ahead but it might take until the end of this year before we see it clearly.

>>4646927
Everyone who's been on the internet knows how the internet works, everyone who hangs out with nerds knows how nerds work, and everyone who hangs out with nerds on the internet know how dumb shit can happen. The overwhelming good that has come from id allowing a modding community to exist at all should make up for any drama short of someone murdering somebody over a source port.

What are some overtly demonic WADs to play Eriguns 2 in?

>>4646936
>Im not aware of the lilith.pk3 stuff.
TL;DR, some dude made a mapset exploiting issues with a specific version of GZDoom to make it look all fucked up (on purpose, still very playable), Graffy boy took it personnell, deleted the mod off the forums. It came back and won a cacoward and Graf become ASS SUNDERED and went into hiding for a few months

>>4646936
The funny thing is that some of the things that Doom purists would consider heretical like "jumping" are features Carmack wanted and actually told others to add in the future.

>>4646943
It wasn't compatible with GZDoom at all, only ZDoom.

>>4646948
My bad, everything else should be correct though

>>4646927
Concern troll.
>>4646935
This.

>>4646946
Jumping breaks so many maps though. Would you sacrifice compatibility with the thousands of wads made before sourceports for it?

>>4646946
Romero and Tom Hall were young guys who thought blood, gore and the 'shocked' controversy around it were _hilarious_. Given better technology, there's no doubt in my mind that Romero would have come up with Brutal Doom like blood and gore, sans the modern day may-mays like glory kills / taunts. The DOOM purists, of course, cannot bear this thought.

>>4646939
yes but murdering graf is a clear cut solution

>>4646958
>Jumping breaks so many maps though.
Then...don't jump?

>>4646962
Exactly. It shouldn't be enabled by default. It should only be allowed in wads that have a special lump to say "you are allowed to jump in this map". That's the only way you can add jumping without breaking all the old maps.

>>4646959
i think the issue is simplifying brutal doom or doom to just the gore part, that we'd forget about ideas like enemy/weapon variaty, because there's more to bd than just gore and violence like shitty code and stolen assets, so id making an actual brutal doom game meant just a better, nonshit version of that mod
gets better when the reboot is the closest there is to brutal doom being a doom game, yet it was mark who flipped about it

>>4646974
That is a implied given for any reasonably intelligent person that when I say Romero would have designed something Brutal-Doom-like, it would not have been all the crappy aspects of BD. :)

>>4646969
>It shouldn't be enabled by default
It isn't. ZDoom, GZDoom and Zandro have a "default" option that lets mapmakers choose if the player should be able to jump or not (unless the players cheat and toggle it). For example, I just booted up Community Chest 4 and found I couldn't jump despite having it mapped.

>>4646958
>>4646959
A couple years late Rise/Triad came out and practically was a lite-brutal FPS ("dont shoot me, please, no no dont shoot me" *bang* - kinda psychological there). Gibs in Rise were literally ludicrous and acted as inspiration for gibs in build engine games.

I would have to agree with carmack then about the jumping, Marathon did it in a low budget way by giving the player hangtime so that he could vault gaps easily.
> The real answer to this would have been Pull-Up dynamics though involving short climbs.
It isnt plausible to imagine a heavily armored, heavily equipped space marine jumping all over the place, other physical feats aside.
But there's nothing stopping him from jumping up a couple feet to GRAB a ledge and pull himself up. Or at least throw his leg up over a short wall and pull himself up on it.
> Surfaces up to 56 units tall should be vulnerable to 2stage pull-up
> Surfaces up to 32 units tall should allow a quick pull up
No need for jumping if you have that, because if you fail to vault a gap it would check from impact how much height is deficit, and if you can grab the ledge you just pull yourself up. Having a delay for pulling up, especially the 2 stage can really be exploited with certain kinds of monsters like Barons and Cybers when being stuck in one place for 1-1.5 seconds (against a potential rocket-impacting surface no less) is pretty dang critical.

>>4646978
>>4646969
I think you should be able to change the default in internal configs to default to whatever you want, so that it doesnt always shut it off. As a player I know the responsibility of breaking the map, so I choose not to jump onto things im not supposed to. I jump for other reasons, sometimes I jump over ammo or health items I dont want to pick up.

>>4646329
>So you're mad at every single website you visit too then? Cause it does the exact same thing. Where your complaints towards the entire internet?

I have a VPN set up specifically to avoid websites taking my information. A source port for a 25-year-old game doing it is inexcusable.
The fact that the only justification you people keep banking on is "the rest of the internet does it too!", and are actually accepting it, makes me very sad for the future of information security.

I feel the opposite. I hate automatic reloading. Let me switch my gun when it runs dry, I'll reload when the fight is over and it makes sense to reload.

>>4647117
What if the weapon is an absurdly powerful bolt action rifle? Like I'm talking strong enough to drop anything below pinky tier with a single shot?

>>4646958
Don't jump where you aren't supposed to, then.

It's not a demanding discipline IMO.

>>4646927
Carmack would probably understand Graf's point of view in terms of ease of development and maintenance, but with people suggesting "just add a prompt explaining it and let people opt out", he might agree with that.

I'll always find Final Doom interesting, that TNT had a secret level based on egypt and a truck recreated in the Doom engine
A shame that level kinda sucked, because it's nice seeing some new themes being added in a series, that mostly takes place in tech bases, other planets and hell

>>4646969
>It should only be allowed in wads that have a special lump to say "you are allowed to jump in this map".
Why?

>That's the only way you can add jumping without breaking all the old maps.
So what if people do? They're playing GZDoom, not Boom or Chocolate Doom, let people set up their controls as they please. If you find you can't resist the urge to jump then unbind the key and turn it off in the options, the problem is solved on your end.

There's megawads out there which temporarily switch off jumping when loaded in ZDoom, that's more than enough signal to people that they don't want you to jump.
Personally, I ignore that and turn it back on, because I'm not gonna sequence break anyway.

>>4646982
Why are they dead?

>>4646986
What have I missed?

>>4647121
>Like I'm talking strong enough to drop anything below pinky tier with a single shot?

>>4646992
>It isnt plausible to imagine a heavily armored, heavily equipped space marine jumping all over the place, other physical feats aside.
I don't agree, with how fast he can run, his leg strength must be phenomenal, and the first two episodes are set on moons with low gravity.

I have no trouble imagining Doomguy jumping.

>>4647136
I... didn't even stop to consider that. Huh. I haven't even started work on this rifle but I might make it stronger than originally planned.
Though it'll have vanilla shotgun fire rate with each time you chunk the bolt back and forth.

>>4647127
You might enjoy tntr.wad
It's sort of meant as a 'sequel' to TNT and tries to hit some of it's notes.

In some ways, it does this well, in others, not so much. It's really good though.

That's a thing that needs to be broght back in a new Doom game: a goreship

>>4647156
Refresh my memory on how that worked. Because The plan for this rifle is going to quickly take it into weird bullshit arcade mechanics, seeing as an upgrade for it will allow you to fire different bullets that don't deplete from the main magazine if you start hammering the fire button BEFORE you ratchet the bolt.

And it's for games they don't even own.
Even if the source code for Doom is free, it's not their property.

I've been playing TNT recently with complex doom and it's been enjoyable.

>>4646959
There's nothing wrong with more blood and gore in Doom. Glory kills can be fun too (if done sparingly). The problem is that's not all Brutal Doom does.

>>4647163
That's not answering any of my questions.

>>4647168
BD right now seems to have an identity crisis, where at this point it went from "Doom but with more gore" to a techdemo for features, that may not work properly or should at least be made for a different mod.

Why the fuck are half the boards dead?

>>4647160
Why not just make a level in Doom 2?

>>4647167
Speaking of complex doom, what does /doom/ think of it without the bullshit addons like lca?

>>4647161
You have to hold altfire for a few tics to pull the bolt back, then release it. Tapping altfire does nothing. The bolt occasionally gets jammed, and you have to hold it a bit longer to pull it back.

>>4647182
Oh no, I gotta have altfire free for kicking. I'll just keep the bolt action stuff automatic.
That sounds absolutely brutal though, god hideous destructor is a rough mod.

What i find weird about BD is how everytime game sites or channels talk about it, they either only bring up how it made Doom relevant again, somehow, or how you can rip and tear, but i don't think they ever bring buch else like how you can kill the cyberdemon with only 7 rockets.

>>4647168
Well, Project Brutality exists.

>>4647180
I dunno, but good thing we're too retro™ to be killed.

>>4647160
I would love to see a pastiche of Final Doom elements in general for Doom 5, even if just for some of the aesthetics and atmosphere.

Imagine a level with old rusty riveted metal, rows of wooden crates, rough asphalt, simple computer displays, creepy and tense droning music, then another is a dense jungle marsh with old eroded brick work, wood support, revenants and archviles, huge pools of blood, lots of vines and trees, and a bright blood red sky shining down from above, contrasting with the sometimes murky surroundings, with a classic E1M6 style beat.

>>4647135
Most likely the server that hosts /a/ /b/ /v/ and /vg/ has broken. The boards are still there but not accepting new posts (gives "connection error"). Most likely not any intentional suspension/removal.

>>4647186
game journalists don't care about actual gameplay mechanics. Just only about spicy things they can cover within the first 5 minutes of gameplay.

>>4647201
And maybe an egypt based level that can actually be finished.

>>4647185
There is mouse3.

Also invade2.wad (classic PWAD from 1994) is set on a spaceship which has been swallowed by another demon vessel although the only result is a skin sky texture and an optional fight in a hell-themed side area.

>someone talks about BD
>LE GORE LE RIP LE TEAR
Is BD the only doom mod normies know about? I bet more people know about BD than TNT/Plutonia

>>4647208
I don't wanna have too many buttons here, anon. I wanna keep things relatively simple: Shoot, kick, reload, and zoom to draw repair tool for either a quick heal or hurt yourself for extra ammo.

>>4647168
Brutal Doom does a lot of those things not quite correctly.
Also the latter versions are laden with feature bloat and scope creep.

Those map enhancement scripts are pretty much garbage.
Like the one part of that which I like is the rain effect which is in the first Plutonia map, but it just comes with all this other stupid shit.

Like just being able to toggle a rain effect with options or the console would be kind of a neat little thing, and you just decide if it's appropriate for the map in question or not.

>>4647206
There's a fix for that.

Now that I think about it, I kind of wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to just add a thing to GZDoom so it auto-detects that map and places the missing key on the proper coordinates. Like make it a compatflag or something.

Any experienced modder can help a newbie out ? I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am trying to add a custom tree into my wad and it shows up in the SLADE map editor and everything but it doesn't show up in game, there is no DECORATE error either

>>4647186
I think it's actually six ssg shots to the head (even more ridiculous).
>>4647218
Yep exactly.

>>4647229
I think it does exactly that already.

>>4647232
You need to put sprites between markers in a .wad

>>4647213
the popularity of brutal doom can bring some questions, because its entire legacy is "popularizing doom to a new generation", that nobody even talks about the actual gameplay
on top of that
>doom is already an iconic video game with its modding scene existing for years
>doom modding was somehow never relevant, except this mod, which is part of doom modding i guess
>some of the people who got into doom through this mod got it from an alternate version of the series, meaning they might not really care for the actual series in itself
it's like it was a reboot before the reboot ever happened, where people either treat a mod like an official expansion or forgive it's faults for being "just a mod"

>>4647229
Thinking about it, if Bethesda thought it was a good idea to had randomizing pitches for the sounds, remove most Wolfenstein references and slowing down projectiles (i heard this was a thing) in certain Doom rereleases, they could have at least fixed the secret TNT map or even that glitch where Doomguy's shock face was meant to show up.

>>4647240
Except BD is fucking shite and any mod with focus can do any element from BD a million times better. It really is like no one actually PLAYS it

>>4647216
I was going to ask you to remind me who Kustam is but I looked in the archive and found:

>Kustam is going to be a 7 foot tall warforged with a spear, rifle, and a mighty boot that'll be capable of blasting enemies into the stratosphere with charge kicks.

Which is cool but I want to ask, what's a warforged?

>>4646681
Zandronum is not that bad. Also, there's still ZDaemon, Chocolate Doom, and Odamex? BTW can you play only DOOM games on Chocolate Doom, or can Heretic, Hexen and Strife be supported too?

>>4647252
Robotic golem guy, a construct.
Also I might be swapping the spear out for being a staff by default, with subweapons giving him spear tips, temporarily bumping up his attack power and giving his melee weapon some new quirks

and maybe a TMNT Donatello style super staff because that thing was the destroyer of worlds

>>4647254
>Zandronum is not that bad.
He means Zandronum doesn't support a lot of newer stuff required by fancy mods. If GZDoom dies, stuff like High Noon Drifer and Colorful Hell will die with it.

>>4647251
BD seemed to have given people the illusion that Mark was a talanted modder and not some lucky schmuck, who at best probably got some kids into Doom and that's it
Bunch of other modders either have made original or interesting concepts, that may involve OC's, achievments or innovation that he couldn't have done, just overall good and solid works that come in great variety or even more than one of these.
All of this map enchancement script meme feels like he's trying to ape the HL cinematic mod out of desperation.

>>4647153

No, it is the Icon of Sin.

Right. Thanks.

>>4646479
Right as he may be, he's still a faggot for posting it like a faggot.

>>4647265
I haven't even played BD with that map enhancement bullshit. This guy really just wanted to be the big name in DOOM modding didn't he? Hope he doesn't trip and fall over his massive fucking hubris.

>>4647260
because, as i recall, donatello does machines?

>>4647279
and Raphael is cool but rude.

>>4647287
my point being a guy who is a machine gets the staff of the guy who does machines. but yes, he is. he can't help it, it's these trenchcoats.

>>4647265
BD would have been a one-off novelty mod if it was made by anyone else. Mark decided to make it his magnum opus.

>>4647290
Stop making me want to go rewatch those old cartoons anon.
But yeah that's oddly fitting when you think about it, I might have been doing a lot of thematically appropriate shit without even realizing it.
That and everyone loves the staff fighter.

>>4647295
or at least if it was done as a joke or something

>>4647303
If BD was a one-and-done joke mod with supergore it'd probably be an actual popular mod with tons of players, instead here we are

>>4647375

That's bogus, bro.

the fault in brutal doom isn't in the concept itself, it was originally conceptualized as a homage to the doom comic and it was meant to portray the excruciatingly cringeworthy macho approach it had in a facetious manner. and to be completely fair he had arguably reached that goal sometime in 2009 or '11 when earlier versions of the mod were still around.

the fault is with Mark himself. overtime he became so invested in crumb-by-crumb modifications to it that added practically nothing to the original meta joke approach the mod was intended to take, which was still acceptable somewhat because the mod had yet to become the bloated mess he would later turn it into or completely lose its essence. at that point it was essentially +gore doom, and it was still as fresh in gameplay as it could be to anyone back then. I mean, holy shit. a proper dismemberment system in fucking doom of all things. it was neat and the guns packed tons of punch.

not until 2012 it was that he decided to fully embrace the tacticool approach, and the meta of the mod changed from 'doom+blood' to 'doom+call of duty+postal'. that's the timeframe in which he bit the ModDB bullet and decided he would proceed to feature creep the fuck out of it and drop the tongue in cheek tone, all because of its sudden rise in popularity and the amount of people it was bringing in thanks to all the gamejourno articles talking about it. suddenly the one-liners were unironically awful, he started stealing shit left and right, 'realistic mode' sucked old dick, and not only that but the code was getting worse and worse with each passing release.

of course there's only so much you can shove into a single doom mod if you're intending to make it THE one achievement of your lifetime, so there's not much else to be done with he's done with the mod proper, which is why he's trying to fuck with map geometry now. he keeps opting for realism in a lot of instances and it just doesn't make the cut.

I'm not ranting. quite the opposite really. I'm handing out a backdrop on brutal doom's evolution and how long has the concept been shifting from period to period before it became what it is today.

I was meaning to address a couple posts above so I had hoped my reply wouldn't be too out of place, but the focus of the thread changed so I see how some people could misconstrue it. my apologies.

Maybe because this has been fixed half decade ago, and the latest version now spawns a truly challenging cyberdemon at E2M8?

any good SMT .wads yet?

I am suddenly running into issues with doing GZDoom Online via ZDL (Tryin to play High Noon Drifter). I'm using the latest GZDoom. Whenever Multiplayer is enabled and DUP is set to anything other than 1, the game doesn't load in at all for both of us after my friend connects.

If I set DUP to 1, the game will load in, at least for me, but DMFLAGS just dont work and the game treats it like flat out DM. Masks of Basilissas spawning in MAP01 and such. No setting of DM Flags fixes this, I try changing them in game even and not in ZDL, and it still doesn't do shit.

ZDoom works perfectly fine, but that obviously doesnt work with HND.

Heres what me and my friend see essentially, and heres my ZDL settings. We hear the music but no monster sounds/gunnoises.
