>GZDoom 3.3.0 Released
>Status collector

proceeds to sing the word "no" in a lyrical fashion

Can you make me a source port?

[No]boi needs to eat shit and live

next time make this the op image
kthxbye

In case you missed it, automatic sound reverb was the latest victim to Graf Zahl's tyranny

>>4669578
Only as a suggestion though.
It wasn't already in GZDoom.. though I'm very doubtful it will make it in a future released after being closed so quickly.

i feel the same way but are we gonna do this all night

I would suggest making mods and content for Zandronum as a way of sticking it to graf but really that's what he wants: no one to play his source port but him.
Final Doomer, DRLA, and LegenDoom use older specific versions of GZdoom and THAT royally pisses graf off more than anything else.

The world needs more of those, and lilith.pk3

>>4669594
b-but, bashing graf has never been so fucking fun

>spend countless hours of your free time working on a source port
>receive tantrums from entitled doombabbies

>Submit
>[Close]

How does one cause this to happen?

>>4669608
I don't know but it sure looks neat.

>>4669608
Looks like a funky pallete replacement

>>4669608
Screwy palette replacements will do it, or intentionally replacing it to do that.

Happens a lot with TCs for other games or junk like that.

>>4669604
>spend countless hours of your free time
I'm sure you can relate

>>4669608
Looks like a wacky PLAYPAL or something.
Though why is everything chromatic aberration'd and even the HUD is distorted by a lens? The in-game lens distortion effect doesn't do that.

>Someone else pointed out the orange pixel on Doomslayer's hand in the ZDoom thread
Ya gotta fix it Kegan!

>>4669651
It's on the todo list. I don't even know how it got there.

>>4669653
Don't worry you can take your time, I'm just being annoying.

>>4669656
Too bad I just fixed it. I'm still trying to figure out how on earth it got there though, musta been some weirdo artifact when I was scaling sprites.
Have a video of a hammer buff.

>>4669578
Wasn't there reverb in the Playstation TC maps?

Are there any particularly good mods for Quake 2? Y'know, story campaigns, mapsets, that kinda thing.

Was (G)ZDoom's autoaim always like this? This is reaaaaally baaaad.

>>4669658
I hope that just looks crazy because it's against a horde of Imps!

>>4669690
Yeah it's strong but not SUPER strong, you'd need a few of these to kill hoardes of bomber knights or Hellfos, but it's great for mobbing up crowds of wimps.

Also I never toy with GZDoom's autoaim, I mean heck I use mouse aiming, might as well make the most of it.

>>4669690
What's your autoaim set to? 5000 is the maximum value, I think anything lower only has a chance to autoaim.

>>4669690
>Using autoaim in an engine that allows for crosshairs and mouse aiming in a game where every enemy has BIG, MEATY HITBOXES, including most modded enemies.

>>4669697
I want my mod to be playable without needing freelook, but wow the inbuilt projectile autoaim is even more arse than I thought. I already had to get help from ijon with his Dakka code just to achieve pitch offsets on autoaimed projectiles.

>>4669702
>5000 degrees of autoaim
Mine's set to 35°, the max the player menu gives you.

An anon posted this screen in the last thread. Does someone know what mapset is that?

>>4669690
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/62808-vanilla-doom-autoaim-glitchbug/

>>4669703
>not playing the game the way its developers intended it to be played

>>4669723
Yeah.

>>4669723
If wanted to do that, I wouldn't be using GZDoom. I'd be using Chocolate Doom or DOSBox.

>>4669559
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=59889
Autoautosaver
A configurable mod that lets you have autosaves at set points and values.

Somehow 1 degree of autoaim is even worse, what the fuck?

>>4669719
>Graf says:
>It fires 3 traces, one at 0°, one at a small negative angle and one at a small positive angle (can't tell you the exact value in degrees, sorry) and looks if it finds something. Any target that's in one of the gaps will be missed, logically.
Blehhhh, thanks for the link, but that's just crappy. I guess I'll have to use a single tic of A_SeekerMissile with angle set to the player's autoaim or something? Thanks Graf

>>4669703
Good thing it's optional, huh?

>>4669732
>Good thing it's optional, huh?
Yeah, pretty much.

>>4669732
Freelook makes auto-aim obsolete so I don't see why you'd use both at the same time.

>>4669736
It really doesn't matter. This is about the problems of autoaim itself anyway, especially on projectiles.

Anyone else having mouse look issues with Quakespasm 0.93? The camera will just point in a random direction intermittently. Can't figure out why it's happening so the only resolution so far is to keep using 0.92.1.

>>4669715
Oh, I guess it's been changed. It used to go up to 5000.

>>4669760
Yeah, no idea when. The wiki still references the old autoaim values, even.

>>4669759
>Kill bonelord
>explodes into heap of tiny boners that run away
>Any that survive teleport to a random spot on the map and turn into a new bonelord

>>4669776
Slow down there anon, I'm not that cruel.
But every time a Bonelord fires a mortar now, it spawns several of these little bastards, they're fragile and all they can do is punch you but there's a lot of them and they block all of your attacks so I can already see these guys cockblocking people from using explosives

>>4669778
What's it look like on Going Down MAP19 (200 Mega Hurts)?

>>4669778
you can't just keep reusing your revenant box code

>>4669786
Good question, I've yet to play going down but I'm gonna hazard a guess and say there's a lot of Archviles? They don't ALWAYS do the mortar attack, and the skellies themselves have a limited lifespan before dying

>>4669787
This is the first time I've reused it though.

>>4669787
now i wanna use it for something

hey kegan can i use the revenant box code

>>4669791
I thought those tiny golden boners that run up and punch you were based on the revenant box

>>4669795
From GMOTA? Those guys were the first tiny skeleton I made, and they don't punch you at all, they just run around, dance, and jump wildly. Term made them punchy in Demonsteele, and then I made the box of pocket revenants last year with several different varieties of boner.

>>4669791
There's a total of 100 archviles and 100 pain elementals in the map. Maybe have a max of mini-boners that can be in the map at one time if it becomes an issue.

Rate my hud, please.

>>4669802
How do you enforce a limit on stuff like that anyway?

>>4669794
Go right ahead.

>>4669804
Functional.

Don't know what the yellow bar is for, I assume the silvery counter is for ammo?

>>4669805
Have the mortar do a ThingCountName check when it explodes, and if it's not over the max, spawn some boners?

>>4669812
Huh, didn't know about that, I'll implement that right now to keep the boners in check.

>>4669812
>>4669815
Ah shit wait, is this a more advanced ACS function? Gotta remember I am working within the limitations of Zandy 3.0

>>4669809
The yellow bar is Stamina.
The silver-white counter is for in-mag ammo.

>>4669818
thingcountname has been in for ages

>>4669815
Yeah, so like using CallACS or ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult and a script like this:
if(ThingCountName("Tinyboner",0) < 50)
{
SetResultValue(1);
}
else
{
SetResultValue(0);
}

Something like that maybe

>>4669818
I sure hope not, otherwise Zandronum really needs to get its ass into gear.

What's the best suggestion that's ever been [NO]ed?

>>4669821
Eyyy that works. Thanks anon.
The boners have been contained.

>>4669825
especially since I've used the function back in skulltag days

>>4669723

>>4669835
Carmack was a good man for doing the right thing all those years ago.

I'm just going to leave this here without context.

>>4669776
That'd be funny to do on Nightmare! difficulty or something.

>>4669831
man I miss when alpha and delta invasion servers existed and were packed with people 24/7.

Horrific image of child abuse

>>4669835
And to think that it's 2018 now and most of the time and effort from the community went into making the fugliest shaders while having difficulties understanding the difference between overbright and gamma correction.
The people doing the source ports are so inept and opengl was such a mistake.

>>4669608
Isn't this as easy as changing the light value of a sector? Or am I missing something here.

Is the last GZ Doom Builder edition really over a year ago (Jan 2017)?

>>4669860
OpenGL is good.

The issue is you got scammed into wasting a lot of money into some useless video card, it sucks, but you won't admit you made a mistake when you bougt it. Just like typical Apple users.

>>4669870
What? You want source ports to use DirectX instead?

>>4669870
I can see where this is going to go.

>>4669872
If the answer is "Nowhere good" then you're right

>>4669870
what even are you trying to say here
I'm pretty sure video cards are useful for a lot of things

>>4669718
Yes, i did generated it in Oblige.

>>4669874
Such as? Making everything so dark and ugly you need to screw your monitor settings and damage it to be able to play a game that used to run perfectly in '93 software rendedred by an high end 486 computer?

A source port is never guaranteed to run on the same exact hardware as the original. Have you tried running chocolate doom on a 486? Besides, GZDoom came out in fucking 2005.

Also, the last nvidia and amd gpus to support only up to GL2 both came out in 2007 (and last intel one in 2010, but even on GL2 games it performs like absolute shite). Who in the fuck would still be using hardware THAT old in 2018?

>>4669906
>implying it's my vagturd

>>4669915
I would.

I think why MetaDoom sort of works is why a MetaQuake or MetaWolfenstein probably wouldn't, because of these 3 reasons, specially if mixed:
>Doom is a bit more consistent, where there's still returning enemy types and weapons in later games, while Wolfenstein didn't even started off as an FPS series tarring BJ and Quake changed literal themes and went from singleplayer to multiplayer
>Doom is probably a more popular/better mod "base", compared to the other two, which is also why adding these new weapons and enemies means just finding the right spot for them, most of the time
>MetaDoom doesn't just mix these games but tries to make it fit in the traditional gameplay of Doom as well, meaning the idea of Doom having a "traditional gameplay formula" is stronger than that of Wolfenstein (stealth or action) and Quake (SP or MP)
Or maybe it's just that nobody really tried giving these two series their own "Metafication", that'd include the OG Quake expansions and stuff out of ports of Wolf 3D and RTCW.

I think I prefer the golden boners doing that dance thing, it's both rarer and like a "naa naa can't hit me" taunt. That's just my opinion though.

>>4669892
My vision is augmented. Now beat it, punk.

>>4669703
Uh, autoaim is part of original Doom mechanics.
It makes sense, too, Doom is about shooting while circlestrafing around enemies really fast, some manner of autoaim or lock-on only makes sense. This is not the kinda FPS where you want to throw headshots.

What are these values even? Degrees? Radian fractions? Minutes of angle? Screen pixels?
35 sounds like it could be real degrees, I think.

>>4669878
My GZDoom is crisper and less murky than the original 320x240 resolution software rendered .exe, I literally see better, farther and clearer, thanks to a higher resolution, a non-distorting true 3D renderer, and unlimited colors.

If I wanna play Doom in a real old fashioned style, I'll run Chocolate, or one of the old console ports.

Hey, I recently started playing your mod for the first time, as I waited for the full version to release, and is the charged up Blazter (zoom key) supposed to be that strong without costing any ammo or other resources?
Also I think the power slash of the sword (item use) should have a small charge time or something, as it's way too easy to oneshot cyberdemons with.

>>4670043
That really depends on what you look at, there's some maps which are genuinely interesting and some which are even kind of good, but a lot of the stuff from 94' is pretty fucking trite and worthless. Everyone and their mom gave mapping a try, and most people didn't make anything particularly amazing. I'm not saying "Don't play 94' .wads", I'm just saying, a lot of them just aren't worth even looking at, because a lot of people didn't yet know what they were doing.

By 95', people had a bit more experience, some people had better computers, and there was better software, Doom 2 had come out September last year, so now there were a lot more assets for people to work with, the larger bestiary letting people get more creative.
Final Doom would come out during the summer and really show people the possibilities for the Doom 2 bestiary to a farther extent than Doom 2 itself could, people who complained that Doom was too easy now had Plutonia to really test their might.
Memento Mori also came out that year, and together with Final Doom they really set the bar for user made level sets and how to really challenge players, these megawads really sparked the golden age of 1990's Doom mapping.

People were still making a lot of crap by 1996, but there were also a lot of very serious and dedicated people who pushed for projects and visions, many who had ideas for grandiose Total Conversions and megawads of their own, who looked at Final Doom and Memento Mori, thinking "I can do that too!" or "I can do that better!", for better and for worse.
There were of course some Total Conversions before, like Aliens TC (which came out like a month after the original game was released), and there were a fucking million Star Wars TCs.

>>4670049
Now that you mention myhouse.wads, I wonder if one could take inspiration from a whole bunch of those and turn that into a large suburban map suitable for playing Hideous Destructor?

so what are some wads with female protagonists? Outside of the obvious stuff like Demon steele, and La Tailor grill.

And by "optimize future versions" you mean "cut off support for most systems and nab your IP", right?

>>4670081
I mix up 320x200 and 320x240 historically.
Also you sound like a big gay, hardware graphics are better in every way.

>>4670087
Nice fear mongering.
>nab your IP
Oh you're that retard from the last thread that didn't know that you're giving your IP to every site you visit, and since you're obviously okay with that, you should also be okay this time. Not to mention you can opt out of it. You have no idea what you're talking about do you? Otherwise you wouldn't be saying "OMG HE KNOWS UR IP!!!" like it's scandalous. What's he gonna do with it? Hack you?

>>4670090
>Nice fear mongering.
That isn't fear mongering, that's more or less his stated reason, read the thread about it.

>>4670087
>nab your IP
Oh no, he'll know that I live in the Oakland area of Michigan. What do you really think he's going to use an IP for? Hold your porn searches as blackmail? Take your PC hostage? Get a grip.

>>4670091
I did, I didn't see anything about cutting support.

>>4670087
Means that knowing the userbase is only using the final Usable version, possibly even just 3.25, future modders are only going to make mods for that and except for some snowflakes will abandon future versions

But people are already doing that, constantly making mods with the latest version of gzdoom in mind, hence this thread constantly complaining about it. Why would "future modders" do anything differently?

>>4670098
The argument isn't that "everyone does it", but that knowing someone's IP gives you jack dick to use in a malicious way. Shit's as easy to find as a telephone number.

>>4670090

>>4670098
It's more so the fact that you're not complaining about literally every site on the internet automatically grabbing your IP, so why are you complaining now? Not to mention, what are your reasons for claiming it's bad? What is he gonna do with your IP that every single other site owner who also already knows your IP wouldn't?

>>4670107
>>4670109
>>4670106
>>4670090
Its not about your damn IPs man.
Its about your Hardware Statistics.
Graf has cancer and is trying to pay his medical bills.

>>4669973
I always liked the idea of doomguy being short for some reason. maybe its because the player camera is so low I feel it fits

>>4670107
>sell your comp statistics and make money off of it and not sharing that money with you
Oh, you got a source for that? I'd love to see it, oh wait, you don't and you're full of shit. You WANT to complain, but because you can't find any legit arguments you just start making shit up.

You do know the very site you're posting on's current owner IS known for selling information about his site's users to companies, right? Why are you posting here seeing as how you clearly are against that notion?

>>4670114
>Its about your Hardware Statistics.
Okay? You're saying that's worse than knowing your IP? How so?

>>4670114
Who's he going to sell your hardware statistics to that doesn't already know all their is about your system and it's location? If it scares you that badly then just null out the part of the .ini that makes it work.

All you retards bitching about "muh privacy", do you not know that you can opt in/out? it's literally the first thing you see when you boot up gzdoom 3.3

>>4670089
Hardware is ok for some games and not others. Virtually any game from the 90s is NOT good in hardware.
Quake3 and UT are about the only exceptions, and that was the end of the 90s.

Quake2 in hardware looked very dark and the way openGL worked back then you couldnt increase the brightness in it using the sliders. Also the textures look oddly better and nicer when displayed in software, everything looks crisper and because of the texture resolution (which is higher than Q1) the pixelation wasnt as noticeable.
> faces with big pixelation on them, or faces made of mud, which do you choose? at least you know what you're getting with pixelated faces

>>4670129
That point has been repeated endlessly, yes.

>>4670135
Then why is this still an issue? Surely if you don't want 3 items of data to be sent to graf/rachael then opt out and quit bitching

>>4669756
Nope, 0.93 works good for me. You might want to ask over on func_msgboard.

>>4670131
>Virtually any game from the 90s is NOT good in hardware.
I don't agree, build and Doom engine games can look very good with the proper hardware rendering.

>faces with big pixelation on them, or faces made of mud, which do you choose
I'm sorry, but are you confusing hardware vs. software with smudge filters? You can have hardware rendering without the smudge filters.

Pic related is OpenGL mode, unlimited colors, 800x640, no smear filters applied, no sprite smoothing.

Wow look how fucking hard that was.

While playing through GMOTA, i noticed that when you pick up the light amplification visor, you still get the night vision mode on, even if you choose the option just to make the rooms brighter.

>cut off support for most systems
a measly 7% of users reporting opengl 2 before 3.3.0 even released was enough to dissuade him from dropping that until the inevitable future where that number is smaller
even with only 1.5% reporting windows XP, he's not going to remove support unless it becomes a problem
i'm all for shitting on graf and rachael but can't we at least do it over real problems instead of made-up fearmongering bullshit?

>>4670153
Yeah but nothing about hardware emulation is necessary to display truecolor mode. A number of games also proved that you could have dynamic lights (even colored ones) without hardware emulation too. And the resolution is irrelevant (though any non-integer multiple of 320x200 will cause deformation in doom)

Smear and Smoothing are what kills the aesthetic of retro games. You'd need much more detailed level architecture to complete the equation of improving texture resolution, and you dont get both with a retro game even if you use a high res texture pack.

>>4670175
Something someone is possibly working on. Something involving a German soldier fighting against a legion of devils that once tortured a scared, shaking boyo.

No real promises that it'll be done in a timely manner.

>>4670176

Exactly, I agree with this 100%.

Unlimited shades dark and darker and unlimited shapes of smudged and smudgier. That's what OpenGL brought to the table in 20 years.

What're some good games where you an bhop/strafejump that aren't Quake?

>>4670176
People haven't forgotten the last time he dropped support for earlier hardware.

>>4670240
i'll give you one guess as to what the entire reason the survey exists is

>>4670240
>>4670253
I mean for fuck's sake why not just NOT drop support for hardware at all. Thats something you have to go out of your way for because then you have to end up recoding a bunch of shit from scratch.

Leave all that stuff in a separate module, never touch it, code a new module that doesn't reference those API calls and/or branches off of it.

>>4670283
because the renderer code has become nigh unmaintainable with the fuckfest of legacy support
why do you think marrub gave up on gloome and we haven't seen any other forks

Wish me luck guys

>>4670301
legacy support...
well there's your problem right there, they made hackfest of a renderer over the years and just need to scrap it for a Oldstyle + Modern one.
> two distinct modules, the Oldstyle one not even being touched really
> new features being similar to the way GZdoom functions only processed under GZdoom and would not work under Zdoom, but it didnt crash Zdoom for them to be found in a mod.

Its not hard to have it capable of doing everything it currently does under software mode. In fact remove OpenGL from Software altogether, dont even call upon it or include it, OpenGL was never really designed for software rendering since it was always about plugging into low level hardware operations.

There are all sorts of other APIs that can be used for software graphics that can include Everything that is being used right now and can do more too (sprite rotations, additive and translucent, native functions to doom code, and also running natively in Truecolor while respecting palettes and performing post-processing on graphics... such as Hue/Saturation/Lightness shifts).

I'm reducing the duration of the hyper buster in this coming update. And adding a charge requirement would completely cripple the fatal draw attack. It's supposed to be a clutch button.
If need be I can reduce the effectiveness of it against boss monsters but really seeing as you can only carry 4 shots max of it, I think it's fine as is. I want Blaz to have the strongest melee attack.

>>4670575
I've worked for these sort of companies, quite a lot do this sort of thing on a regular basis because they feel it'll give them a leg up against the competition.

Also because others have mentioned IP addresses, having a ton of them gives you a decent enough way to map users, non in a privacy-fucking way but enough to know what countries and regions to focus your marketing in.

>>4670609
>I've worked for these sort of companies, quite a lot do this sort of thing on a regular basis because they feel it'll give them a leg up against the competition.
Really? Can you provide me links to these companies who right now are looking to find out what people play doom source ports?

>>4670609
...So what? Is there suddenly something wrong with these people knowing their market?

>>4670607
>>4670604
Oh, okay, I thought it was just a hud mod and not part of something else. Oh well, thanks for the replies.

>>4670613
Not specifically for source ports, but there's a ton of shit out there of them trying to find out what "retro" crap to go for because they're chasing the Doom 4 thing.
>>4670615
Not at all, all I was saying was that there is a a fairly big market for this data, so it's quite possible to sell it.

Graf sure doesn't seem to have attempted to say how long the data will be kept or if it'll be sold later.

>>4670450

>Not at all, all I was saying was that there is a a fairly big market for this data, so it's quite possible to sell it.

Fair enough. I don't think selling it is right since it's a free application and that's be profiting off of users, but on the other hand it wouldn't be that big a deal since it's not like it takes us (the users) any effort or affects us.

>>4670596
>damage control

>>4670624
>Not specifically for source ports, but there's a ton of shit out there of them trying to find out what "retro" crap to go for because they're chasing the Doom 4 thing.
... what?

>>4670613
I mean, I imagine people behind Dusk, Ion Maiden and Butcher would all be interested in that target demographic, even if the idea does sound a bit bonkers and like a far-fetched conspiracy theory.

I mean, how hard is it to simply make an optimized 2.5D engine?

Like, is it just me or is this thread becoming genuinely retarded over this?

>>4669864
>>4669875
Thanks. I admit I'm not very familiar with Oblige maps, those kind of arches are cool but oddly enough mappers don't use them often.

>>4670640
I mean dusk uses unity and probably won't be changing backend code, and eduke32 (ion maiden) already runs on anything

all gzdoom stats returns is os type, number of cores and what graphics apis it supports. It can't even tell the difference between integrated graphics and a high end one that supports the same api. Theres better data a single google search away on user stats from emulator developers who were also making decisions on cutting back on ancient features.

>>4670640
Indie devs do go to marketing firms, especially the mid-sized ones putting out stuff like Dusk, Amid Evil, Hellbound and so on, some have a pretty fucking incestous relationship with some of them (like Silverstring media).

That Graf would be competent enough to sell the data without sperging out and pissing off whoever he was trying to sell it to would be something else though, but it does have a value to it.
>I mean, how hard is it to simply make an optimized 2.5D engine?
Seems hard enough, if you've seen some of the lesser known ones coming out like Project Warlock.

>>4670638
It's hilariously stupid when you realize that even Doom 4 didn't aim for the same hardware requirements as Doom source ports.

I'm going through Megadoom and Deathday, which were 200+ level packs for Doom. Does anyone know of any that have that fantastic as fuck 90's aesthetic for levels? They don't have to be fun, I just like going through old wads because it takes me back to a simpler time.

>>4670673
... what?

>>4670075
I mean, you get a female mugshot in Hideous Destructor if your character is set to female.

>>4670674
As in 200+ levels?
That's amazing.

>>4670687
Yeah but they're not all good. A lot of them aren't even properly tagged, so you'll load one wad with E1M1 and then another that's E1M4 for whatever reason. Having to open it in SLADE before opening it in GZdoom is really fucking tedious

has anyone ever tried to, or is there a mod that alters doom's slide-for-a-second-after-the-player-has-stopped-dead-on-his-tracks type momentum? something more akin to quake where it isn't preserved and the player doesn't move too far into the direction he's heading after he's stopped pressing a directional key.

>>4670305
Speaking of HD, I had an idea for a mapping project. Let's call it Doom: Hideous Edition.

The thread for HD says that from vanilla maps, E1 maps 1-4, E2M2, E3M1-4, and D2 maps 1-6, 12, 14,15 work pretty well with Hideous Destructor.

So, I had a thought - how about a mapping project that would rework remaining vanilla maps to better fit Hideous Destructor? Like, add more cover, more flanking routes, less monsters (but more imps and hitscanners), less big open spaces and each room having more exits, elevated platforms for sniping so Marksman won't be so useless of a class, monster closets being replaced with sections where you're stuck in cover and have to defend against teleporting waves of hellspawn - stuff like that.

>>4670682
Like, Doom 4 managed to 'chase that retro feel' despite aiming for modern computer.

So why the fuck indie devs trying to copy Doom 4 success would aim for hardware that people play Doom source ports on, instead of just aiming for lower end computers like indie devs always do?

>>4670695
I mean, it does give you more precision over your movement if you have "always run" on. So if you tap the key, you get slower movement, while if you hold it, you get super fast run.

This way you get a fascimile of analog control using a keyboard.

Considering there was no analog control at all in 1993, Doom was extremely ahead of its time.

>>4670703
It would be knowing where to aim.

Take Ion Maiden, it's had a metric fuckton of reported performance issues, so much that it's got a Performance Tips thread stickied on Steam.

>>4670608
Maybe you could buff the health of the bosses, they seem to die pretty fast no matter what I use on them, except maybe standard slashes.

>>4670731
Yeah, I buffed the shit out of the Edgelord and Cybermancer, they also have a temporary flinch immunity after being hurt, and now both are immune to being stunned by the Blazter/Hyper Buster

>>4670780
But they're naked boners!

>>4670790

>>4670712
Yeah, but instead of datamining, much easier way to do that is to do what Ion Maiden do, put first episode in Early Access and collect feedback.
Much more ethical, and much more precise.

Actually.. so far didn't ALL of these 'retro throwback' shooters do this? Dusk releases episodically, so does Amid Evil, and Ion Maiden did that too as I just said.

So in fact WHO are these fabled devs who would buy this data that Graf is supposedly stealing? I mean, many of these games like CTHON and Western FPS are running on already well-optimized 2.5D engines like Raycasting Game Maker or Game Maker Studio - and these games have no problem running on an average weak laptop, or a Raspberry Pi.

I think the whole claim with datamining for indie devs is some preposterous bullshit made up to stir up more hate for Graf. He might be an asshole, but that doesn't mean he's selling your data.

With all this tinfoil telemetry panic, there is one thing that seems to have been glossed over.

Mods that pack in GZDoom with .bats and .inis set up so even idiots can play it, should be able to direct it to their own server. It could work as a rough way of knowing how many people play your mod.

>>4670803
The irony of that is that - doesn't Graf actually care significantly about security of mods and at least tries to make sure that mods are secure? Like, I'm sure he'd reject the feature you propose EXACTLY because it could be potentially unsafe.

I cannot unsee this revenant's chest containing boobage

>>4670818
Graf [NO]s everything, but it does seem to be a pet cause of his.

I'm fully expecting a mod like BD to end up doing that shit, it could cause some fun fireworks.

Try to map a 1:1 recreation of E1M1 from pure memory, and see how close you get.

>>4670854
I've been meaning to do this but never find the time. I'll try it tomorrow and get back to you.

There's quite a few out there, just got to look a bit since Doom is a little more niche these days compared to other games (at least on twitch). I know one guy on a discord I visit who streams megawads now and then to deal with anxiety, for example.

>>4670854
It would be interesting to play through a complete game recreation using this idea.

>>4670932
It'd be an interesting community thing but it'd be hard to enforce people not going and playing it.

>>4670864
Because you're not looking very hard.

>>4670932

I can imagine the middling levels will be significantly different from the original layout.
Without checking, what do you remember about E3M4?

Why doesn't (Q/G)ZDoom have texture dithering for software mode yet? Unreal did it, PRBoom did it, leileilol even got it in their Quake renderer.

>>4670943
To be fair it's a nightmare to find some stuff on there.

When I pick up any keys

>switch lowers/opens on what seem to be the complete opposite side of the map
>you will have no idea what it was until after you run around every corner of the map looking for something that might seem different

>>4671082
Never. I always forget it exists. I do save occasionally, but far less than "save early save often"

>>4671082
Almost never. Most recently, MAP19 of BTSX-E1 was kicking the shit out of me, and I eventually relented and saved before the final Archvile fuckfest in order to beat it. I didn't feel right until I went back and beat it in one go.

>>4671109

>>4671082
>I need targets for Saveshaming
ftfy

Silly request, but are there any mods that add running animations when holding a weapon? Like weapon bob, but actually animated?

>>4671082
I don't often use quicksaves, instead I play wads in coop/invasion or just use multiplayer emulation/resurrect. If I'm actually serious about completing a map I might think about saving if it is on the harder or longer side. If it's got over a few hundred monsters, I usually don't want to have to redo the whole map again, especially if I ran afoul of one of those 'catch you once' trap.

If Doom was ported as an arcade game, what would've changed in the gameplay to make it more difficult and eat more coins?

>>4671889
I don't think it would survive as an arcade game. The game doesn't have any distinction between it's levels so players would quickly get bored and have no motive to feed in another quarter.

>>4671889
Make it like gauntlet.

>>4671894
Gauntlet health drain and the stages are straight outta KDiZD

>>4671889
Not a great deal, just bumped the difficult up a level or two, and back to a Wolf3D style lives and point system.

>>4671898
Something like significant supplies of health would be a lot more scarce or confined to secrets as well, I'd reckon. I remember reading about how Vs. Super Mario Bros. relocated a lot of Super Mushrooms to hidden blocks, even where hidden 1-Ups would've been at.

Maybe a timer as well?

>>4671889

>>4671894, but instead of ticking down health, have the par times be the amount of time before you game over. Scoredoom style scoring for killing enemies and 100%ing. Multiplayer is DM across multiple machines.

>>4671915
>but instead of ticking down health, have the par times be the amount of time before you game over

Actually, has there ever been a time attack mod for ZDoom before? Could be a neat novelty.

>>4671889
I think you'd have to change a LOT to make it actually work as an arcade game, take a couple of cues from Wolf3D and ROTT, but also cues from real arcade games.

Arcade play should be about fast action, so the levels would be a lot less about exploration and stuff, and much more about linear progression. There'd still be secret areas to look for, and there'd be larger wide areas for bosses and arena battles, but I don't think offshoot paths with mazes where you look for a key would quite suite arcade, it'd slow things down, off paths would at the least have to be made simple and straight forward.
You'd have an Knee Deep In The Dead inspired level, a Shores Of Hell level, an Inferno level, and a Thy Flesh Consumed kind of level for the first set. Then you'd have three Hell On Earth levels and one Master level for the second set. The third set is Final Doom, being harder, two Evilution levels, then two Plutonia levels.
These would have to be all new levels designed for this arcade play, you pick any of the sets you want.

>>4671969
For the gameplay, most monster behavior is fine, but weapons and powerups would be changed to keep things expedient and simple.
You'd have the melee slot, starting with the chainsaw, but with the berserk powerup you'd punch with your fists and do really high damage, and to incentivize players to be willing to go into melee at the risk of their limited lives, it maybe also gives a speed boost and a damage resistance boost, however the powerup only lasts a minute.
The pistol is out, too worthless, instead you begin with the shotgun, it has infinite ammo and pumps a little faster, but like every six shots it does a brief reload animation, this gives you a weapon which is a good mainstay against anything not really large, but also doesn't give you something extremely exploitable.
These two are always in two of your weapon slots, the shotgun can be upgraded to the super shotgun in some levels.
Then you'd have two other slots for Big Guns, which can be found, the game would generally be generous with these, especially on harder levels.

The chaingun has no reload, coming instead with a large ammo pool (maybe 400rds), but it has a brief spinup/spindown time, while shooting twice as fast, also doing a cool spray of tracers.
When you're out, you just drop the weapon.
The plasma would come with a pool of 200 shots, but is really powerful, having also a 50% chance to overpenetrate any enemy (which it can do repeatedly).
The rocket launcher would come with say 25 rockets, which are just as powerful as usual, but they have a slightly wider splash damage, AND, you have 80% damage resistance to the splash damage, so you can play dangerous with it.
The BFG9000 is much the same in its tracer behaviors and "cone", having a rocket style splash on impact (only 50% resistance for you), also shooting out a handful of (green) plasma balls on up to 6 nearby enemies when exploding, these basically having the same characteristics as the other ones, same overpenetration potential.
You can only fire 8 shots though, and it's almost always found in a secret or rewarded for a boss fight, often there's a good opportunity for you to use it on a large group of enemies after it appears, so it feels like you get to use the really cool gun on something worthwhile, rather than feeling you're wasting it, or feeling forced to keep it in your inventory and wait for a good opportunity.

Health pickups would be somewhat limited to incentivize the purpose of extra lives, but treasure items act like small health /armor bonuses, and count towards score, and score rewards you with extra lives.
I'd also say the stylings should be much like the original games, maybe add some flashy effects like dynamic lights, maybe jucier gore (I like Nash's), possibly some rain effects in one or two levels.
It shouldn't go full Brutal though.

Music should be instrumental remixes of classic Doom tracks, even including Final Doom music.
Obviously, the game should also be made for two player co-op, difficulty adjusting when there's a second player

>>4671972
The Big Guns are extra powerful because there'll be fairly plenty of monsters, and also there'll be some extra strong monsters sometimes (which can generally be a pallette swap with a changed detail, like different heads or something).

I'm thinking the gameplay would be a halfway between slaughter and fast arcade action.

>>4669936
Yeah, I removed it so they stay more focused on punching the player, the downside is they're more focus on punching the player now.

any good rpg wads?

>>4671259
Press "no" when it asks you.
>>4671624
It's a hack that existed solely to imitate linear filtering on 256-color textures.

>>4669718
Why can't I find the "quick punch" in the game controls?

YO WTF PUT A SPOILER, YOU FUCKING SAVAGE! I LITERALLY SHIT MYSELF FUCK YOU

>>4672135
I don't know how long ago this mod got updated, but Graf fucked a lot of mods by making the options menu protected, so it's possible that the mod still uses the old "incorrect" way of doing the menus.

get ready to be whi-

Shit, I haven't played in ages either, and I have the cart in front of me at all times.
>>4671959
I'd play that. I already play Metal Slug on a regular basis, so this would be a great game to play.

yea

How does taior grill carry all her weapons even when she's nude

>>4671889
if they were to add a life system and a score points, they could also use treasure items, like the ones from those alphas

>>4672294
She stores them between her breasts.

>>4672294
the same way doomguy and many other FPS protags
they just kinda place them behind their backs and they stick on with static cling

>>4669669
Software quake 2 looks so much better than that orange OpenGL abomination.

>>4672402
OpenGL looks good too, but YES the (second to-)last great software renderer is still looking awesome.

>>4671624
Love that look especially with Quake's brutally crude gibbings. QuakeII's were lame compared to these "high tension rip-aparts".

>>4671378
The original maps' aesthetics are pretty awesome.

Let me show you a magic trick.

>>4672443
pregnancy test stick where?

>>4672439
it's more to do with how lifeless they felt. enemies just kinda heartlessly transformed into these motionless chunks that sat on the floor instead of literally blowing up and outwards bouncing around. sure, there's some physics involved with explosives, but it's still not dynamic, exciting gore. feels heavily scripted in fact.

they really had no excuse. quake was developed like, four years prior and everything felt way tighter and more responsive. and they've really only gone downhill from there up until doom 4's tiny almost imperceivable gibs. they do seem to be making a comeback with quake champions' gib system though. shame how they haven't teased it more.

>>4669973

every 2-3 minutes, mostly because I don't have too much time to play doom and then I quit after I save
and because I suck

Into the trash it goes.

Your fault.

It never really lived, it was just a shambling collection of stapled together parts, begging to be put out of it's misery.

FDA + Review - Atonement map04 'H20 Extraction Zone'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XvruM2t9Zg

H20 Extraction Zone is far and away the best map in Atonement so far. Most of the map is the along the lines of the previous three but then you get outside and it's absolutely awesome.

The red key area features a giant fight where you don't even feel like it's monsters vs you, it's a big free for all. This fight is preceded by you slaughter large groups of zombiemen, sargents and imps which really lay the ground work for it. The build up is fantastic and the midi matches the tone of it all.

This set piece combined with all the positive qualities of the previous maps make it the best one so far.

Hey , I fucking love doom and feel as if it is the only true retro fps that can carry the weight of having an 'isolated' environment that isnt really achieved anywhere else. Very fun arcade style action and shooting. Ive been lurking for a couple weeks and very inspired to make a mod.

Where do I start?

>>4672609
Screw around with ideas till you find one that sticks.

>>4671889
Forced nightmare difficulty without double ammo

>>4672497
pregnancy tests are just that, pregnancy tests. the stick part is omitted.

>>4672609
If you're talking about a gameplay mod, go to the zdoom forums. If you're talking about mapmaking, there are plenty of tutorials for GZDoombuilder or others

>>4672653
>going to the forums
>when the wiki exists

>>4672609

Depends on what sort of mod you're wanting to make. For mapping look into Doom Builder 2. For modding look into DECORATE.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/53-editing-tutorials/

https://zdoom.org/wiki/DECORATE

>>4672609

Personally I learned how to do some decorate by opening a mod (I used weapon & monster resource wads + WW-Diaz.wad) and looking at the code while cross referencing with the wiki.

I can sort of make things happen now, but with zscript on the scene I'm a bit out of the loop I have to say.

>>4672527
They went to shit, relatively to their potential, after Quake.
I remember being initially fascinated by QuakeII, especially with the 3DFX boost, but it all began to feel lame after a while.
Quake II was the first step to being one of the many boring companies with good games... and that fucking Tim Willits... a solid level designer but in no way a dude to lead a team.

what are some fun total conversion wads?

I liked how the Quake expansions ended up having new content based on unused concepts for the original game

I want to get into retro FPS so I've grabbed Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake and Marathon.
Where do I go from there?

>>4672719
DOUK

>>4669827
>no one has replied to this fan-fucking-tastic question
I am thoroughly disappointed, fellow graf haters.

>>4672683
Pirate Doom is great

>>4669827
probably the ability to have something replace the native ammo pickups/ammo types - and it gets reflected on the status bar

> like in KDiZD the rifle bullets replace the cells
> but it doesnt reflect that change, actually replacing the cells ammo type, when it comes to the status bar

Its one of those obvious no brainers that should have been done from the beginning, but not only does it keep getting overlooked, when suggested they go out of their way to say "nope"

>>4672719
For 2.5d, Duke, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Heretic, maybe Hexen if you want a change of pace. I personally really like Strife a lot, but it's not really something that changed the grand scheme of games beyond "there's some immersive sim stuff that it did mad early." Blake Stone if you liked Wolfenstein, and play ROTT right after if you want to have your mind blown with what could be done on the Wolf engine.

For 3D, Unreal, Half Life, Quake 2, maybe SiN if you're willing to tolerate a mostly mediocre game to see some interesting ideas.

Did you remember to get Doom 2 and Final Doom? Did you remember to get the Mission Packs for Quake? Did you remember to get source ports for all your games? Did you read the goddamn OP?

>what is SBARINFO

>>4672762
not in KDiZD, you clueless tripfag

>>4672760


>But just because they have their guy, that doesn't mean the ball is officially rolling. They don't even have a script yet

nice to see they have their priorities straight

>>4672759
I went by the pastebins in the OP as a starting block, so for the moment my "library" is very barebones.
>changed the grand scheme of games
I don't really care for that, I'm mostly looking for fun games to play.
Noob question: what is the difference between Doom and Ultimate Doom?

I always thought this was one of the nicest looking maps in this entire megawad.

>>4672762
irrelevant
This means if you make a modified weapon that replaces native ammo it will be INCOMPATIBLE with other people's status bars since they will not show the new ammo type.
DUUUHHHH

>>4672764
KDiZD is older than SBARINFO.

>>4672770
a 4th episode thats all

>>4672779
still not in KDiZD, you clueless tripfag

>>4672782
KDiZD uses the vanilla doom status bar, which is hardcoded to only show 4 specific ammo types by design.

If you want a custom status bar with custom ammo support, make it yourself. SBARINFO and the ZScript status bar API are there already.

>>4672785
yes i would be more than happy to make a custom status bar for one single mapset

>>4672786
Can you be even more of a whiny little runt?

>>4672790
can you be even more of a clueless tripfag?

The Levelscript from BD would be a "cinematic mod" if it was a separate thing.
But MarkyMark can only do BD patches now.

>>4672798
eh, whatever, it's your choice. I told you it's doable either way.

>>4672770
Fourth episode Thy Flesh Consumed, most "recently patched" version, and it's the version that pretty much any mods or maps that run on Doom 1 expect. It's the one you should get.

>>4672773
what megawad is this?

>>4672798
owo what this?
