>Has PrBoom for mostly vanilla singleplayer .wads
>Has GZDoom for all those crazy .wads and .pk3s that can't be done in vanilla
>Has ZDaemon for a mostly vanilla pk3-less multiplayer, awful lighting notwithstanding
>Has Zandronum w/ Doomseeker for the crazy-ass multiplayer with .pk3s

What are some megawads with mainly wide open outdoor levels with various terrain, such as mountains??

Second wave of bugfixing and tweaks.
https://babel-mod.neocities.org/
>Added wandering to Yehovah difficulty
>Reduced aggressiveness to sane levels in Yehovah difficulty
>Removed some overkill fast frames
>Zombiemen are less aggressive overall and many sync values are altered
>Sync/Chain now takes a chance argument instead of relying on a per-monster value
>Related to the above, many sync/chain chances altered, some raised, some lowered
>BFG now uses a static singleton thinker like PSMG
>BFG now factors in target distance
>Shells/casings now disappear better in water and make a tiny particle splash
>Fixed lost soul animation
Still other stuff I wanna do but I think the big ones are out of the way. Zombiemen should be less of a threat in groups now, more in line with their ranking versus other monsters.

Is there a Doom fighting game? Either 3D or 2D. You'd think with all the Doom mods and fan made content that someone would have made a fighting game by now.

\ZDaemon
\\Zandronum

Any ports not listed are used as necessary

sound is super high pitched in chocolate doom how the fuck I fix this

>>4744092
MIDI or sound effects? What are your sound options like?

Me and my girlfriend

>>4744095
didnt you post this last thread?

>>4743969

Sure, I can do that. I like lore.
And I'd really like to create a test map where you can faff about with stuff.

>>4742767

what map?

I finally got a shitty programmer-art menuscreen working, but I'm having issues coloring the fonts for every other menu here. I've got MAPINFO changing all the menu fonts, and MENUDEF also changing DEFAULTLISTMENU's font colors, but things like class selection and such are still red. Anyone know how to fix that?

>>4744093
My music sounds perfectly normal but all the other sound effects sound like cap guns and high pitched bloops and beeps

>>4744069
>odamex
I'm guessing you're like 10% of the odamex playerbase then

>>4744135
I've never heard of sound effects sounding "higher pitched," so I'll assume that what you're experiencing is the sound effects being "brighter" than what they usually are. Doom sound effects were created at 11025 Hz, and it's likely you're hearing them at 44100 Hz. This was an issue that Doom95 had with the Super Shotgun reload sounds. The reloading noises are the only sounds in the game recorded at a different Hz, but Doom95 doesn't take this into account , so the click-clack noises sound strange.

So it seems that the solution would be to simply change the Hz from 44100 to 11025. As for actually doing that, I don't know, sorry.

>>4744161

id vs Capcom when?

>>4744186
Why would you make a fighting game where half the roster can't jump?

>>4744194
Doom Guy vs Dante or Arthur would be worth a chuckle.

>>4744181
I have never witnessed or even heard about something like this, it sounds like a sped up cassette. The only things I could recommend are uninstalling and reinstalling, or going to sourceforge or wherever the builds are at now and asking.

>>4744194
Instead of jumping they can just have anti aerial moves

>>4744197
Yeah, searching this up brings nothing Chocolate or Crispy. The only things I can find is a steam thread about randomly pitched sounds, but that's something else. Anyways, I found this guy, who I believe is the r9k/ kid who killed himself. Yay.

It's been a year since raymoohawk last visited Doomworld and the ZDoom forums, hope they're doing alright.

>>4744214
thanks for the effort man

I'm gonna fuck around with it for a little while longer but I'll probably just end up using a different source port I know the audio in gzdoom works fine

Just started Abandon ep for Q. What am I in for?

>>4744018

programmer (and electronic technician)

>>4744028

It's a shitty as fuck notebook "made" (assembled) in argentina, has an amd c-60 apu and 2 gb, isn't even mine

this wasn't built to be used with windows 10

(low fps must be something with gzdoom opengl version, quake runs smooth like a baby's ass)

how in a flying fuck do I activate the automap rotation?

Okay, for the people who actually know what they're doing... Would THIS work? Specifically, these options, with the following randomspawner

>actor Zombiespawn : Randomspawner Replaces Zombieman
>{
> Dropitem "ModZombieNormal", 255, GetCvar(MyMod_NormalZombieSpawn)
> Dropitem "ModZombieElite", 255, GetCvar(MyMod_EliteZombieSpawn)
>}

>>4744320

forget it, it's the unthinkable "r" key

>>4744328
Try it? I don't think so though, those values probably have to be static.

I tried it. It didn't work- they do have to be static. I suppose I could get the same thing working by having a dummy spawn appearing, rolling through everything... But I'm too lazy.

And I already made the whole system in the picture, so I'm honestly kind of thankful I don't have to redo it.

>>4744151
I mean, some kind of a Sanity mechanic would be cool. Like, if you get hit or stare at a monster too long/too close, you'd lose sanity, which would manifest itself as Lilith-like glitch effects.
>Which would probably be a more fun way to implement Lilith-like glitches than actual Lilith did

>>4744320
It's in Options, Automap Options, Rotate automap.

>>4744343
Well, I could probably whip something up fast to do what you want but consider this: If you need an option for something gameplay-related, is it really a good design choice? I know having 1000 configurable options is all the rage right now, but if you need a setting to change whether or not an enemy spawns or how a weapon functions, maybe you should take it back to the drawing board and rethink whether or not it's made well to begin with.

>>4744343
>>4744354
Actually it was even easier than I thought, so here http://www.hatebin.com/papioeason.. If you use the noodle a bit you can fit your jump logic into this. No credit required or anything it was like 5mins of code.

>>4744095
/hc/ pls go

>>4744354
I mostly just figured that the elite enemies are the main reason for stupid deaths right now, and some people don't like things randomly spawning in place of normal monsters. Plus, this is largely a learning project for me, so I figured I might as well learn cvars and MENUDEF as well.

I actually just made one for the SSG zombie, since some map makers might not intend for the player to have an SSG at that point, and because it's pretty good at taking out huge hunks of the player's health. Same with the plasma-wielding HWG. Then I figured, as long as I have an option for two monsters, I might as well add options for each of them.

I'm also really tempted to add an option to turn every monster in the game into (shrunken, so they can fit everywhere) laser cacodemons. Not for any particular reason, but because laser cacoes are my absolute favorite monster in the world.

>>4744365
I was actually thinking of a way I could set it up so that each monster has a 1 in X chance of spawning. So if you set both the zombie, imp, and demon all to 1, then there'd be an equal chance of any of the three. Or if you set imp to 3 and zombie and demon to 1, then out of 5 spawns, 3 of them would be imps. And so on.

Oh well. With this, and with some more tweaking and polishing, I'll be as done with this mod as I can. Until I start mapping for it.

>>4744194
The Quake crew would have sick air combos, though.

>>4744375
Well if you're good with probability you can do a series of A_Jump calls which create the 1/x chance you want. Just remember that all those chances don't combine in the most intuitive way. If you're ok with no Zandy compat though what you want is piss easy using ZScript. Also for the SSG zombie a better way would be to have an option for it to just drop shells or, if you want, use a filter which creates a different actor on Doom 1 or something.

>>4744382
I'll probably leave the elite monster cvars as I have them now. I'm probably going to learn zscript with a different project- mostly because I've been going with pure DECORATE this entire time, to the point of even skipping ACS. No reason to delve into something so new when I'm nearly done with this entirely.

Also, Project ILE hasn't had zandro compatibility since 2014. It was a lack of A_JumpIfInTargetLOS if I recall correctly, that made me fork the game into two versions. Kept maintaining both zandro and zdoom versions until I gave up on zandro.

>>4744349

Does anyone here know of a guide for using skyboxes with trenchbroom in quake1?

I want to do a floating castle type map but the only info i can find is for worldcraft not trenchbroom.

>>4744476
Same concept, editor doesn't make a difference.
1. make floating castle
2. make a big box around it
2a. add a trigger_hurt to kill the player at the bottom if they fall, or if you're nice, a teleport back up instead
3. apply sky texture to box
4. floating castle in sky

>>4744484

mmm...

>>4744497
anon pls

>>4744484

thanks, I got it working like this no problem (using the vanilla quake sky textures), its just that now i'm looking for other skyboxes to use (trying to find some like the ones used in arcane dimensions), none of the ones i find are in wad format. I'm guessing I need to convert them with some utility, I'm just not sure what.

>>4744505

I asked >>4744484
>>4744497 wasnt me. thanks for the help though.

Have you considered playing versions like 32X or GBA Doom even though is better to play it on PC?

>>4744516
I've played through the entirety of SNES Doom
It's not that bad once you get used to it

>>4744516
I've played it on DS
I think I got up to the warehouse level and kinda got stuck somewhere around there
The very limited turning speed becomes a problem (to me) when you actually get to a point where you have to check around corners and/or actually fight enemies from multiple directions at once

>>4744509
What engine are you making it for? For Quakespasm and similar engines, you can just plunk the six skybox textures in your id1 or mod's \gfx\env folder, as long as they're in the right format (normally .tga) and have the right names (refer to AD's skyboxes as an example- you need up, down, left, right, front, and back). Then in your map's worldspawn entity, add a 'sky' field with a value of whatever your skybox texture is named, minus the trailing characters for each face (up, dn, lt, etc).

IIRC you can also just stick a brush someplace in your map that includes the six skybox textures if you've imported them into a .wad, but then you have to deal with the harsh palette restrictions that really ruin a lot of skybox textures.

Is pirate doom peak doom?

>>4744534

thanks. Yeah i'm making maps for quakespasm. I just found a bunch of interesting skyboxes in tga format so i'll try out adding them via editing the worldspawn entity like you suggested.

>>4744392
Nevermind, in PrBoom it's not.

For some reason it also seems to not be in keybinds... but Follow Mode IS in keybinds? Weird. Maybe it's a bug and Rotate Mode is supposed to be listed?

>>4744642
Yep, it's there in config files. 0x72, aka decimal 114, R keypress. So you can change it, but ONLY through manually editing config files.

How bizarre.

how do you change the colors of your health/armor/ammo ?

What are you asking here, exactly?

>>4241698

>>4744709

A lot of cool changes going on...!

>GREETINGS MORTAL, ARE YOU READY TO PLAY THE MOST COMPLEX FUGUE EVER WRITTEN IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE ALIVE?

>>4744736
You should make a kick that's a killing blow launch the monster away from you fast, splattering some blood decals from it once it impacts a wall

>>4744095
She's a big girl

>>4744757
Or maybe have the launched-back monster deal slight damage to other monsters it touches based on velocity. I really want a doom mod to recreate the high-speed corpses of Nuclear Throne.

>>4744809
>Or maybe have the launched-back monster deal slight damage to other monsters it touches based on velocity
Oh, absolutely. But only do the extreme launch on finisher blows for balance reasons (so you can't just kick everything away all the time)

shockwaves now blur stuff behind them, don't glitch when drawn over each other (this was luck and a happy surprise), and are pushed to the post processing shader from a dynamic actor array with a maximum of ten simultaneous ones. Should be ready for sharing with a bit more tweaking.

Probably they should add themselves to the array rather than having an event handler iterate through all actors in the map at all times for example, and i bet the way i did the blur is retarded and inefficient.

Which one of these mods should I stick with anons? I like the ones that still try to keep balance and play with any monster packs.
I've played these:
-Faspons
-Flakes Doom
-Highway to Hell
-High Noon Drifter
-Heretical Doom
-Combined Arms

I want to keep only one of these.

>>4745167
why only one?

>>4745170
Because I've already downloaded a lot of megawads and other mods already,same for other games. I don't want to put too many of them.

>drafting map

>a floating demon realm in outer space!

God damn, now I'm torn between trying it out or scaling back ambition.

>>4744960
I wonder if someone submitted a large map full of FIREBLU to Joel, it'd be interesting to see if he notices that it ruins your bitrate.

>>4745186
Just make a small proof of concept map, to see how feasible the idea is. If you like it and you feel you can do more, than do it.

>>4745186
go all the way

>>4745196
Now I wish I could lock up Torm667 in a sweat shop for doom mapping and just hand him the plans.

>>4745204
He's horrible at optimization though

>>4745186
post ur drafts

>>4743358
i wonder if it's about how such there exists in doom to make mods and content out of, even if it somewhat resembles something else

although it appears they may have changed the music for the international release, in the original Japanese release of Final Fantasy 12 the optional dungeon in the basement level of the lighthouse which is basically "let my high level party be slaughtered by giant toads and ghost horses" has a musical cue which is basically the DOOM2 MAP01 music.
>https://youtu.be/OvcM-fRgCPo
skip to a little before 1:00 to hear where the music starts
DOOM wasn't so popular in Japan and the international releases seem to use a different soundtrack for this section so surprisingly few people seem to have noticed this
I have to think it's a gag by the composer / programmers because even fairly high-level parties will die soon after this music starts

>>4745213
They're in the "so rough only the guy that made them knows what they're saying" stage.

Though when I release my map I want to release all the background stuff to it, so scans of my draft book and how I went about making the level and all that other stuff.
I see anons here and in other forums talking about how do they make maps. It's strange for me as I find it really easy to draft and "see" in my mind's eye what things look like that it just kind of happens.

I have an eye for the visual, but I couldn't make music even though both are creative areas.

>>4745218
I can't hear it.

>>4745234
At 0:54 it's the beginning of Running from Evil with the bass line and the rising tones

>>4745241
I really can't hear it.

What mod lets me have a pet or familiar?

Familiardoom doesn't work.

>>4745241
>>4745234
https://youtu.be/qURei6svd90
it's a shortened version of the beat and the start of the synth that only plays for a few seconds at the beginning of the dungeon when your party gets off the elevator but to my ears at least it sounds like they briefly copied the music you hear when starting DOOM2 as a way of saying "boy you really came to the wrong fucking place this time"
I might just be fucking retarded though because nobody else on the internet seems to have commented on it anywhere, but one guy I know IRL said that he could hear it.

>>4745243
I guess I might just be delusional. It wouldn't be the first time

>>4745218
Yup, I can hear the resemblance

>>4745276
whew, at least I'm still partly sane it seems
I probably wouldn't have noticed it if my level 70+ party hadn't gotten repeatedly instakilled every time the music played

>>4744705
from the color red to anything else

>>4745331
I think you have to make a custom hud, either with sbarinfo or zscript

In vanilla ACS, is there a way to spawn in any item desired? The spawn special only accepts certain actors (not including the one I want to spawn), and teleport requires an actor to activate it (which doesnt work for what I want, an inanimate object).

>Feedback for gameplay mods with XP systems

To get more mileage out of these mods, a way to give yourself a measurable amount of XP at game start would have usage for those who want to play it with single maps. As is they seem to only go well with megawads.

I'm at Dead Simple playing Hideos Destructor. The only way I can reach the exit is by using a berserk pack and sprinting as fast as I can, but as soon as I enter Tricks n Traps, I burn to death because the berserk effect disappears. The only reason I'm so slow is because I'm loaded with gear. What do?

>>4745798
Try going for the megasphere first. Spiritual armor should let you tank the mancubi, and it won't disappear when you exit the map.

>>4744898

I think the blur is unnecessary, just my opinion

but I also detest that effect, it was used and abused from 2005 onwards, explosions do not do that

>>4745186

do it faggot, is not like you have anything better to do

Well, no, but energy weapons might

Well, this is certainly one of the more interesting mod conflicts I've seen.
Loading Beautiful Doom with Ancient Aliens results in Shotgunguys looking like this. Considering the theme of the mapset, I'd say it fits.

I played Duke 3D today. The first episode was really good, the other ones were a mess in comparison. Why did they dropped the ball after the first episode?

>>4745986
It's because Beautiful Doom's sprites are not truecolor pngs, they use Doom's original palette instead. Since AA has a custom palette it makes Doom palette monsters look like rainbow puke.

>>4745994
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation!

>>4745994
Wait, then why does it only happen to Shotgunguys? Every other monster I've seen so far looks fine.

>>4745986
I love AA, but I absolutely hate how it conflicts with monster mods, usually because of either the custom palette or the reskinned fatasses and spiders. Ancient Aliens, you're my favorite megawad, why must you do this to me? Seriously, this mod would aesthetically be perfect with colorful hell.

>>4745985

you win this time

>>4746002
I guess since the shotgun guy sprite set is Doom paletted and the rest of the sprite sets are truecolor. Why the mod author would do that I dunno. You can easily fix it be converting the shotgun guy sprites to trucolor pngs with slade.

>>4746006
It could certainly use a vaccinated edition, yes.

I know mine does because it came like that by default but I don't know which option exactly does that. Pic totally related.

>>4746094
that's gzdoom's lights.pk3

>>4746096
So GZDoom loads that pk3 by default? I guess Joel must have erased it or something.

>>4745501
We need to talk more Half-Life in this thread.

Anyway, HL1 has a shitload of excellent singleplayer mods. Here's what I think are the absolute cream of the crop of goldsource mods, with little write-ups for each:

USS Darkstar- The mod that started it all. The first big HL1 mod that garnered enough attention to be packaged in every PC Gamer magazine and for Valve to show it at the first Half-Life ModExpo at San Francisco in 1999. Same HL1 gameplay but in a totally fresh setting: DEEP SPACE

Afraid of Monsters- You know Cry of Fear? Before that dude made a standalone game out of goldsrc, he made this when he was still 14. It's an intense action horror experience with a LOT of jumpscares and heavy influence by Silent Hill and Jacob's Ladder. Get the Director's Cut and play with the lights off.

Poke646- Before HL2 was even teased at E3, this mod was released with the premise being that you're an average Joe caught in the events after HL1's resonance cascade. Awesome urban level design and lots of new weapons.

Halfquake, Halfquake Amen, Halfquake Sunrise- Mods with a huge emphasis on challenging you and twisting your balls with apeshit goldsrc difficulty. The first game is straightforward in its premise, but after that, the games start to build their own sort of sadistic metaphysical universe. I haven't seen anything like it in any other game.

They Hunger 1, 2, and 3- A horror mod that was also endorsed (or created? i forget) by PC Gamer magazine that successfully encapsulates the atmosphere of the schlocky but still spooky Romero zombie films. Don't expect it to be nearly as scary as AoM but it's still a damn fun romp.

Azure Sheep- Like Blue Shift, but better in every way. The resonance cascade through the perspective of Barney. New voice acting, great storyline. An absolute classic.

Point of View- Made by the same dude that made Azure Sheep, you play as a vortigaunt during the Xen invasion on Earth. It's badass and the weapons are really creative.

>>4745252
Does this little robutt guy count?

I'm still trying to get him to make little happy chirp noises and also to follow the player when he can't find anyone, but I haven't found the right sounds.

Would anyone be interested in some basic ZScript tutorial videos? Like messing around with/modifying vanilla weapons in ZS to show how the language works and stuff. Seems like the docs are shit and nobody really makes tutorials for this kind of thing.

>>4746114
>they hunger

I'd love that. Mostly since I have no experience with Zscript at all.

And also your voice is like liquid silk gently brushing my ears.

Alright, well, I might do it. My mic is shit but who gives a fuck right? I know how the language works so I can probably crank out a few basic videos on how to do shit.

>leave for half an hour to make myself some dinner
>Joel is STILL PLAYING THIS ONE WAD
holy hell.

>>4746138
recently watched a decorate tutorial stream, and despite some hilarious hang-ups from being improv without a script, it's been wonderful to experiment with
i've been having a lot of fun making some weapons and will probably be posting a beta mod much later on

i'd imagine a more refined/scripted tutorial vid would be quite useful to people

>>4746168
He REALLY needs to make a time limit for how long maps should go on for next contest.

what map?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m47fDoFjNh0

>>4746181
The worst thing is when the maps take so time Joel can't feature more

>>4745935
>>4745938

well, after open it in doom builder I have come to the conclusion that something went sideways...

how do I noclip in prboom+?

>>4746197
idclip

>>4746203

how do I open the console?

(I'm a retard?)

>>4746212
the button below your Esc key.

>>4746212
just type idclip

>>4746212

Just hit idclip in-game.
You don't need to open up the console.

>showing your email on stream
not the smartest idea.

>>4746215

it does nothing, I've reset the keybinds

>>4746216
>>4746218

thank you, always remember that you can have a kid like me

>>4746227
go to customize controls and map your console input.

>>4746225
He wants Joel to notice him super hard, it looked almost desperate.

>>4746231
only zdoom-based ports have a console
prboom+ is not zdoom-based

>>4746181
The issue is that for some reason he doubled the time limit people had to make a submission compared to the previous contest. I don't think it's possible to dictate how long a map will be since most of the time a map takes long is because of Joel's own lack of skill and bad saves.

>>4746239
Desperate.
Your turn.

>>4746252
Desperate.

>>4746253
Desperate.

>>4745501
I want to add to what the other anon said.
Paranoia is a great mood where you play as a spetznas exploring a abandoned facility with mutants. It has some cool gameplay mechanics like wearing a helmet so you get less damage but it it takes space on your screen.

>>4746114
>>4746261
Thanks for the tips. I look forward to returning to HL1 with some fresh content rather than replaying the same campaign for.. well, I've lost count at this point.

I know Joel fucking sucks at saving ammo but are there times when people are stingy with it too?

People should understand making enemies take longer to kill isn't challenging, it's fucking boring.

>>4746273
Both. The map he's on right now literally turned all the enemies into baron-tier bullet sponges on top of being a map that's just letters. There's no way this was a serious submission.

>>4746280
Pretty sure the mapper did it on purpose to piss off Joel, hell the map is just literally words.

thanks to all the kind anons that made this intermission possible

prboom+ needs some rearrange of its options menu

>>4746282
>>4746285
>joel's moderators accepting a map that is just automap letters
STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS IT'S AMATEUR HOUR

>>4746292
They accept anything that isn't a straight up terrywad

>>4746292
Can you imagine the kind of shit that didn't get accepted? There's been plenty of maps that would feel right at home in Maximum Doom.

>>4746292
Why wouldn't they accept it? This isn't a "best of the best", if you've watched any stream you should know that this is about _anyone_ submitting their maps no matter how bad it is. The only things mods check for is things twitch doesn't allow i.e: nudity. Same things happen with his old non-contest Doom streams.

>>4746138
I still don't understand what that pic is saying.

the original cheat code for no clipping is

it still works I think even though idclip was introduced in doom2

>>4746114
Why do people like Azure Sheep so much? It's loaded with so many long fucking hallways to pad out the length and escorting the various NPCs makes me wanna tear my hair out.

The various shootouts are only kinda fun and that's more because you're playing Half-Life, rather than intelligent level design. Mod fuckin' sucks.

>>4746327

>>4746321
they probably introduced it because it was easier. having to remember the first letter of "smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris" every time was time consuming

>>4746339
You mean the one with shit-tier voice acting by the mapper's girlfriend who loves to get mulched by doors and enemies? I know it's just a mod, but there really are much better ones out there than AS. Everything else mentioned in that post is far better.

Just so I'm not being a totally negative dickhead though, I have some other suggestions:

Someplace Else is a pretty damn good, short mod that has some very cool visuals. Still keeps the basic Half-Life formula though, which isn't a bad thing.

Gunman Chronicles (which isn't technically a mod, but you can find it out there in the wild pretty easily for free) is a very unique experience, especially for the time. The sheer amount of variation in environments and the amount of depth in the weapon selection is just nuts, especially for something made by a small studio. There's a package available that lets your convert this one into a mod for Steam HL and play it through there, which is far more stable on modern machines.

Cry of Fear isn't for everyone, but if you liked Afraid of Monsters, and are a sucker for the old school survival horror genre, you might like it as much as I did, despite it's flaws. It's on Steam and you don't even need HL to play it.

Okay, to everyone who likes Hideous Destructor.
How would you improve it?
My ideas:
>grid-based inventory like in Stalker and stuff, including ability to carry several weapons of the same type; ammo being considered an item that you can physically see in your inventory, medkits/stimpacks/ammo stacking; and generally loading/unloading/consolidating magazines, working the way it did in Jagged Alliance 2 because to me that's the gold standard for inventory management.
Of course, because of that JA2 inventory system (with inventory spaces being divided into "big" and "small") would work, too.
>Scope/iron sights instead of appearing automatically when you stop (or being visible always/never) would actually appear like in EVERY OTHER GAME after pressing dedicated Zoom/Altfire key. This slows down your walking speed to a crawl. If you change weapon, use an item, jump or sprint, the scope goes away. This is more realistic than scope MAGICALLY VANISHING when you move too fast.
>Quick Bandage hotkey will first check if you have a medkit. If you DO have a medkit, then it will select a medkit first. Only if you don't have a medkit it will switch to the improvised bandage option.
>If you jump while running, you will perform a tactical dive-roll, that leaves you faceplanted for a second after you land.
This is good for e.g. running away from lit grenades, leaping over near obstacles, going into cover, and most importantly - it would act as a 'stop drop and roll' solution to putting out the fire, replacing the very weird and abstract 'crouch and spin' method

What are you thoughts or ideas?

>>4746391
Well, bug improvements are obvious. Here are some bugs I've come across
>Scopes sometimes fuck up and plaster whatever you were looking at last onto the screen forever until you restart the game
>Using ladders while standing above them gets you stuck in midair
>The whole destructible door thing being janky as fuck
>trying to pick up DERPs sometimes fails and instead drops a pistol mag that can't be picked up
I agree with your view on scopes, but not the bandages. They should be a separate option.

Hey buds any recommendations on vanilla compatible doom wads?
I've got the legacy sourceport on my psp which works great most of the time (DTWID leaving me with a missing texture error BRNBIGC)
Anything great out there I missed? I already have most of the megawads listed on the infographic

>>4746391
i see your greenspace autism, anon. change hd_noscope to 2 for dedicated zoom. grid inventory would be cool, and I haven't needed to crouch and spin since i discovered taking off armor to put out fire(which seems to work only 80% of the time)
A lean button would be nice.

Rendering 1080p takes fuckin forever in vegas. Christ. Also I recorded 3 shitty ZS tutorial episodes wherein I basically just create a pistol that can jam and in the process explain porting DECORATE to ZS, anonymous functions, the ResolveState() function, and custom action functions. Gonna slap em on BitChute because Youtube is for skeletons.

>>4746305
It's saying this:
https://vocaroo.com/i/s1vADu1H58Dv

>>4746407
You can still manually select bandages by pressing 9. I'm talking about the quick 'attempt to bandage yourself' hotkey because I find it ridiculous that my first response to getting wounded should be pressing 9 twice, or scrolling through my inventory.

>>4746417
> I haven't needed to crouch and spin since i discovered taking off armor to put out fire(which seems to work only 80% of the time)
I know, but what is the point of an option that doesn't work well?
Alternatively jumping forward could act as an extinguishing aid.

Also thanks for the stuff about scope, I didn't know that.

>>4746362
Gunman Chronicles is the shit.

I remember making a 'rocket arena' map for HL, with extra-low gravity and rocket spawns all over the god damn place specifically for GC's customizable rocket launcher.

>>4746407
>trying to pick up DERPs sometimes fails and instead drops a pistol mag that can't be picked up
That's because you don't have room for the partially spent magazine the derp has loaded.

>>4746508
>>4746417

Nevermind, what?

Pressing fire while in a scope (pressing zoom) lets me zoom in and out, but I can't actually fire while scoped. What?

does anyone have that picture of a bunch of different HUDs from PWADs across the years? I remember Epic2, the Japanese community pack, etc.

Thanks in advance if anyone has it saved.

>>4746519
It happens even when I'm not at the max amount of pistol mags, unless there's something I'm missing.

>>4746539
You have 2 ammo pools, fully loaded magazines and loose ammo. You can't pick up the mag because it's partially spent, and you're full on loose ammo.
Bind the ammo management key and fill your loose 9mm ammo into magazines.

>>4746547
Ah, forgot about that entire mechanic. So much changes between each version that I lost track of it all.

>>4744534
>For Quakespasm and similar engines, you can just plunk the six skybox textures in your id1 or mod's \gfx\env folder, as long as they're in the right format (normally .tga) and have the right names (refer to AD's skyboxes as an example- you need up, down, left, right, front, and back). Then in your map's worldspawn entity, add a 'sky' field with a value of whatever your skybox texture is named, minus the trailing characters for each face (up, dn, lt, etc).

o.k ive tried a lot of stuff & i just cant get this to work at all in trenchbroom / quakespasm.

I'm make a test map with a player start entity on a single platform, enclose it in large box. Ive copied a bunch of different .tga files into my id1/gfx/env folder (all the files have the 6 correct names for each side & look exactly the same as the ones in the arcane dimensions directory).
Next i'm selecting all six brushes of the surrounding cube I want as my skybox, then entering a new 'sky' field in the worldspawn entity, then adding the value as the filename of the sky i want to use (removing the _bk.tga part)
when i compile i just get a blank texture for the cube. Ive tried enabling the Arcane Dimensions mod in trenchbroom in case .tga's were only available in that, didnt help.

Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong? google is not helping.

>>4746524
fire and altfire are used for zooming in and out. check the manual in the zip file

>>4746553
Make sure the brushes of the surrounding cube already have a sky texture applied to them, it doesn't matter what as long as it's a standard over/underlay Quake sky texture. The sky field in worldspawn doesn't magically turn the outer brushes into the skybox texture, it only changes the behavior of existing brushes marked as skies.

>>4746571

Awesome. It works now. Thanks.

>>4746589

Are there any other western themed mods aside from High Noon Drifter and Gunslinger 2.0? I've been having a blast with them.

Especially Gunslinger at the moment with the monster replacements (zombies as pistol slinging desperados, shotgunning sheriffs, melee banditos in place of pinkies, magic using cultist imps, green bandanna wearing rifleman who shoot as fast as Lucas McCain for chaingunners and Lovecraftian Caccdemons and Cthulhu Barons of Hell, both of which shoot homing projectiles that hit real hard).

The weapons are neat too, consisting of a Peacemaker (can dual wield and twirl), a katana (can strike when selected for a quick one-two hit and can also be twirled), an 1887 lever action shotgun, a 1894 Winchester rifle, a double barrel, a naval cannon in place of the rocket launcher, a gatling gun and a Mauser C96, which I still haven't found yet.

It's unfinished, which is why you can still find BFG's in the areas you can find them in vanilla, but still fun.

It's a trap!

>>4746651
not gameplay mods, rather levels, but Fistful of Doom and Boothill are some of the classic 90s TCs

>>4746658
Awesome, I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks!
Got into the Doom game late last year and have been pouring over different mods after finishing the games without any modifications.

Fuck, alright, I'll post the 3 ZS tutorial videos I made tomorrow. I have to actually sleep at some point tonight. If you guys think they're useful I'm willing to cover other topics as well, as long as it's something I actually know.

>>4746564
I know that, but anon tried to act as if was a solution for a dedicated scope key. What is the fucking point of having a dedicated scope key if I can't fire a weapon while scope is on screen?

Like this is by NO MEAN solution to the scope problem, if anything it's just another facet of how idiotic handling of scopes in HD is.

If anything, adding an option where Zoom key TOGGLES the scope would solve that problem.

>>4745404
I use software mode exclusively
this 1.5GHz APU doesn't seem to like the alternatives, and I get problems like sprites not being drawn or just straight up up 5 frames per second

Oh my fucking god these sounds are amazing.

Also, while testing the sound, I accidentally made it make the yip yip noise every time it got to the See state. It then proceeded to cutely bark at enemies frantically, between shots. I left it like that, up to cvar.

Definitely glad to have this thing replace the berserkpack.

>>4746812
Let's see a webm, sounds hilarious

>>4746280
This is why 9 times out of 10, you should use Knights instead of Barons.

Good use of Barons is kind of hard to find actually.

Strife isn't far off, aside from some not always amazing pre-rendered 3D, it had some absolutely gorgeous spritework and textures, someone really skilled did that shit.

>>4746138
I'd be hugely interested. The Zscript documentation is basically non-existent at the moment.

Maybe I'm a fucking brainlet but I honestly have no idea how anyone has managed to figure it out with what little there is. The wiki is basically bare when it comes to zscript.

>>4746982
What DOES exist of ZScript documentation intimidates me.
Even without documentation, DECORATE was way easier to decipher for me.

Trying out a different primary fire for the particle smasher

>>4746362
for what it's worth I agree with you 100% - I liked AS back when I was much younger mainly because it had new Stuff in it and that was enough for me but over the years I realised it was actually pretty bad. The map author himself isn't a bad mapper but it's clear he just had way too much work to do so the vast majority of the mod is comprised of hallways and huge empty rooms. POV was by the same guy and it was much better in that regard (but not massively better, I don't remember much about the levels and that's not a great sign)

>>4746985
also the Todesangt series, if you can stomach modding voice acting, is definitely worth a play.

Definitely only do it if you CAN bear it (I love that shit so it's fine with me but I can appreciate amateur voice acting bringing out the vomit reflex in a lot of people)

>>4746982
Search for Marrubs zscript docs; they're great. You can also ask here. I know a decent bit.

>>4746984
Are you doing zandro compatibility?

>>4747053
Fuck yeah I am.

>>4747054
I admire but do not envy you.

>>4747059
Oh believe me, this has been a pain in the tits with some of these weapons. But I'm so used to devving with Zandy compat in mind that it's usually not TOO bad.

If you have the scope view set to auto then holding down use brings up the scope to fire. Holding down zoom allows you to change the scope magnification. Also rtfm.

>>4747095
God, I read the fucking manual. Stop being a condescending shit. Manual is fucking long, and the only documentation of that feature is, I quote:
>Set to 1, this makes the scoped view only visible with the extended HUD that pops up when you hold the use key.

Does this sounds like "If you set Scope View to Auto, then Use will turn into a dedicated scope key"? No, it fucking doesn't. I only understood what it meant AFTER your advice and trying it for myself, god.

"RTFM" means "don't complain about features that are obviously described" (i.e. how to extinguish yourself if you're on fire, which is described in detail) and not "laugh at anyone who doesn't study manual religiously".

>>4747095
>RTFM

is HD just basically the autist' version of Brutal Doom, because it's coming off very strongly as that kind of thing (ie fucking insufferable)

>>4747218
is this colorful heck's update soon?

>>4747218
herbs??

>>4746984
would be fun on hordes

>>4747256
Nah, the problem is that some people try to play it without putting the necessary preparation (i.e. skimming the manual and watching the bootcamp videos, which are BARE MINIMUM), so it becomes a kneejerk reaction to assume if someone has a problem, they should rtfm.

Of course, the thing is that HD manual is NOT really exhaustive - it's long, verbose and even then basically just scratches the surface of the mod. There is a lot of stuff that isn't described in the manual, and even stuff that is described is not necessarily described WELL - e.g. like the scope problem I had - the fact that if you set it to auto you can bring up scope at will using Use key is brought up ONCE in a roundabout way that doesn't even MENTION user settings - it's a one cryptic mention in a paragraph about cvars that I personally skipped because I generally don't mess with cvars while playing Doom mods.

I mean, this thing is 14,000 words and 30 full pages of text - I checked. You can't possibly ask someone to read, fully and completely understand, and memorize every word of 30 fucking pages of reference text. That's a fucking novella.

>>4747086
Good question.

>>4747256
Any time someone tries criticizing HD it just comes off as that person being bad at it.

You probably get this a lot but is masters of doom a good factual representation of the history of ID? I got it the other day and i'm loving reading it.

>>4747256
I say most the blame lies on certain individuals who hate BD with a passion, resorting into saying shit like "Hey, [insert name of mod here] is better than BREETEL DEEM" to unsuspecting shmucks, simply out of spite.
So when newplayers get hit by HD's difficulty wall at 66 mph (or simply finds out that HD is actually a complicated layer of complexized complexities of gameplay) and cry MAMA, they'd get hit again by a wall of RTFMs and git guds, courtesy of genuine autismos and trolls alike.

Later i saw that theres a message in the main page saying "Use a GZDoom version before 2.3.0" its because of this problem? anyone know?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/562860/Ion_Maiden/

Obviously this isn't an old game, but it's being made in the old Duke Nukem engine. Anyone interested in this?

>>4746982
I was able to pick up ZScript but only by doing A LOT of source diving. Even without that I don't think it's really possible to be effective in it without knowledge of engine internals.

>>4747256
he gave you the answer and told you where to get it

not HD's fault you didn't like it

I wonder why Raven named the Lich sprites HEAD instead of LICH. It would've made things easier.

>>4747367
Given that the smasher now has infinite ammo I need to give it some type of downside. Though if this becomes too slow I might make the reload animation give the player two shots per reload

>>4747865
How much ACS are you using in the mod by the way?

>>4747862
probably because they hadn't yet decided on a name when the sprites were made

>>4747873
Surprisingly minimal so far. There's a script for the Gnasher's bear trap on a chain. One for checking the player's HP to change the heart on the HUD depending on their status.

The biggest chunk of ACS right now is the pickup messages for the weapons and that's gonna get really big as I add more classes

>>4747881
Man, after getting used to zscript all that stuff feels like a memory of a bad dream. I kind of miss the hackyness of it on some level though.

>Each weapon is still different and unique in its own way
>Weapons that matter the most or keep up with the core gameplay show up first in their slots
>Other keys/buttons are used
>Faster weapon switch
>There aren't "that" many weapons
Do you think these rules are necessary for when a mod is implementing a big number of weapons?
I do wonder if i'm forgetting something

>>4747874
Well now the caco and the iron caco are going to conflict with each other. I wonder if I could find a way to substitute the sprite names, or if that fails, ask Graf to add a summon exception.
>[NO]

What are some good maps for pic related?

>>4747890
Try to refrain from adding more ammo types if possible. At least more ammo types that need to go on the HUD, if you add a self-recharging weapon or something of that nature, that's fine

>>4747892
Suspended in Dusk is a great looking vanilla mapset.

>>4747892
Any map by Didy. They look amazing while being boom compatible.

the Sentiment Mushroom.

>>4747891
this is already handled; zdoom automatically renames HEAD* sprites to LICH* sprites when loading heretic.wad
https://zdoom.org/wiki/Sprite#Conflicting_sprite_names
https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:Ironlich - note that it uses the LICH sprite name

>>4747579
Has nothing to do with the power of computers. Sprites are a shitload of work.

it's possible to have a sprite tree the size of an actual tree?, in the sense, it's actually taller than you?

I'l talking about a custom sprite, not the default doom trees

>>4747917
Well, that is incredibly convenient. Thanks, I probably would've done something very stupid.

>>4747923
Not in vanilla. Iirc max height is 128 in vanilla. Not sure about other ports. I would imagine gzdoom would have no issue though
What you could do, is use 2 sprite objects and push the offsets to get to 256 height. I don't know if you can go farther than that.

>>4747914
>that hud
muh information overload

>>4747938

it has also come to my mind the giant sprite sweeping the map when you rotate the view

>>4747938
Considering Strange Aeons has two giant versions of a Realm 667 monster as the boss of its' bonus episode, it certainly is possible.

Is there a flag like +NOCLIP that includes ceilings and floors? all I can find is +NOINTERACTION but that removes the actor from being affected by everything.

>doom rpg's imp lord is orange
>metadoom gives his name to the doom 4 imp, who is also orange
>doom rpg's phantom is green
>metadoom gives the name to the beta lost soul, who has green flames
>doom rpg's ghoul is red
>metadoom names its doom 4 revenant fiend instead
in other news, realm667 has a ghoul, with its own unique abilities

>>4747962
what the fuck is that image? doom 3 rpg?

>>4747969
>doom 3 rpg?
correct

So are Cacowards physical things now?

Or was that just for Romero?

here's some gold

>>4747862
Maybe they were first testing the sprites by reskinning the Caco, and didn't bother changing it?

>>4747994
FUCK
I absolutely fucking hate Archviles and thank god for any mod that ups the damage of weapons.

Fuck you Plutonia. Fuck you and your Archvile maze.

>>4747919
This. Ever tried doing an all new enemy from scratch? There's a reason that even the most prolific spriters in the community use existing graphics as a base; it's so much fucking easier and faster, if you do a good job, people won't even care.

>>4748016
Can confirm.
I sprited a ZsecSpecops with a plasma gun a few years ago and it was a pain in the ass.

>>4747983

Just for Romero.

>>4748018
That's a bummer.
Be wicked cool if the winners got them.

I'd understand if it was just for main page ones and not runners up but I guess it's a lot of work and where the hell do you even get the cacodemon, I'm guessing it was made by hand.

>>4748019
Well, they could always just 3D print them and then spray paint them gold.

>>4748027
Yeah but it's still assembly work for the anon with the printer.
Plus there's the wooden base, engraving the plate on it, then making sure it all fits together properly and appeasing the gods of international postage that it doesn't get mangled.

>>4748019
The one that Romero got was just one of those cacodemon piggy banks painted gold and stuck to a platform.

>>4748008
they're not mummies?

>>4748036
Wtf my life is a lie.

>>4748037
I'm pretty sure they're called mummies in the game's files.

>>4748008

>>4748042
I just believe D'Sparil resurrected Mummies and buffed them up with magic gains.

>>4748019

It would be wicked cool if there was a physical prize associated with them, but the uproar would quadruple.
People are already legitimately angry over a prize that amounts to nothing more than a recolored .png.

Alrighty, here they are. RIP your speakers maybe, my mic has a bit of resonance. In these very basic ZScript tutorials I cover:
>Turning a simple DECORATE weapon into ZS
>Anonymous Functions
>Named Action Functions
>void and State return type
>Some code factoring principles
I definitely know more than this but I figured I'd go for the absolute basics then figure out what to do from there.

>>4748086
These seem really good man! Great work!

>>4747952
Probably not because of the way the Doom engine handles floors and ceilings differently than a fully 3d engine

Does anyone know how to change the font color for the quit messages, and the difficulty selection screen? I'm having issues with it.

>>4748094
dunno about difficulty selection, but you can use color codes (the same ones used in Print and Log) in your exit messages

>There's a bug in GZDoom 3.3.1 where if a projectile A_Warps to its tracer on the same frame it hits it (+HITTRACER), it does its damage twice
>Updating to GZDoom 3.3.2 fixes it, nothing about it in version notes
Huh...

Does GZDoom allow silent, momentum carrying teleports yet?

My version has one or the other but not both.

>>4748091
>3 mins later
But thanks. I'm just hoping I don't blow any subwoofers due to the $10 Chinese garbage fire mic I have.
>>4748101
You can use line teleports, and have been able to forever. Eternity style portals work too.

>>4748094
In addition to what >4748096 said, for difficulty selection, define them in the LANGUAGE lump and then put that in MAPINFO. For example:

In LANGUAGE:
NewDifficulty = "\cgThis shit is hard!\c-";

Then in MAPINFO:

skill NewDifficulty
{
name = "$NewDifficulty"
}

>>4748105
>>4748101
Should have clarified, imagine falling down a hole but it's a silent teleport.

>>4748098
Also jesus I didn't know that spaghetti was so big when I saved it

>>4748110
Yeah those are floor teleports. Pain in the dick to get working but I know they exist.

>>4748086

Good shit.
I need to refine/script my Decorate tutorial and put it on YouTube. This should be a good start for people hoping to get into modding.

>>4748098
>>4748112
Nevermind the bug is still there, damn it.

>>4748096
Alright, thank you guys a ton.

I didn't think recoloring everything to be blue ( such as in >>4744118 ) would be so difficult.

Anyway, once I finish up here and with a few more tweaks, I'll be essentially done with the entire mod. Except for bugfixes, maybe a custom monster or two, and only until I start mapping.

And fucking tutorial screens. God damn I hate tutorial screens.

Yeah. Saving my work to the wrong folder and continually testing in an empty pk3 was awesome. I learned a lot from that.

I'm joking iluterm

>>4744020
damn, i saw" last thread" and got excited that this could be the LAST FUCKING ONE OF THESE GOD DAMNED STUPID FUCKING THREADS.. then i realized it was just a link to the last thread. oh well.

>>4748135

Yeah, Twitch was a pain in the ass.

>>4748142

Nothing is ever gonna top that, that was fucking hilarious.

>>4748146
There are another 147 threads on the board. Go shitpost in one of those.


>>4748150
It was pretty hilarious, even if I didn't catch the stream until literally seconds after the tutorial stopped. Still looking forward to the next one, even if you're still on the stuff basic enough that I've already learned about it.

About to finish my playthrough of Doom 2 with Hideous Destructor.
Calling this a PTSD-inducing experience would be an understatement.
All those fucking monster closets.
Those Barrels o' Fun.
Those fucking eternal undying archviles.

Why is N64 Hexen's soundtrack so fucking boss?

Just the other day, I was thinking of how little games go for the same sort of insane fantasy earlier games go for.

Like look at the Scrag in Quake. It's so unreal and out of this world. Or how about the apeshit Fiend, the headless kangaroo with scythe arms?

It seems like not a lot of games have the balls to be so creative with enemy designs now, which is silly considering how realistic we can make graphics. Even games like The Witcher or Skyrim have boring shit 95% of the time like bandits or wolves or trope D&D monsters with a different skin. Gimme some really weird Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath shit. What games have the freakiest bestiaries?

>>4748016
On the other hand, when someone makes an all new monster from scratch, and it's good, everyone is very impressed.

>>4748261
Goddamn, that's some ass.

>>4748280
Sounds a lot less silly than Hexen PC's music.

>>4748289
I think part of this is twofold for Quake:
>was originally going to be an open world fantasy RPG but stalled a lot in development, then near deadline, the game was hurriedly reworked into a Doom-ish FPS, using a lot of the resources already in existence
>people like Sandy Petersen (the world's biggest Lovecraft nerd), Adrian Carmack (an edgy dude who loves dark stuff like that), and John Romero (who was really into the dark fantasy setting he originally envisioned), each putting a lot of personal touch into the game
Both of these things making for a very unusual game with a lot of odd design choices, all of it kind of coming together and making an actually really cool game, despite it being a giant compromise.

>>4748317
I always wonder what Quake would look like if it was given just one year more of development, or even six months. With so many resources already made, they could have really refined the RPG gameplay and made it into the third-person grimdark Ultima that they (or at least Romero) really wanted to make.

There's a totally fresh idea if anyone wants to take it upon themselves to make it.

How the hell do you beat E2M4 from a pistol start?

>>4748331
what difficulty are we talking?

>>4748334
Ultra-violence

>>4748261
holy shit

So Heretic's minotaur can not be attacked by lesser enemies. This is fine, but I want the Cyberdemon and Spiderdemon to be able to do so. Could I have +NOTARGET as well as some sort of exception?

>>4748337
Seems pretty easy so far. Are you grabbing the shotgun at the start?

>>4748345
Yeah
By the time I get to the circle part with the two barons I always run out of ammo in all weapons in the middle of the fight

Which should I use: Doom 64 Retribution, or Doom 64 EX.
I'm looking for the ability to turn on always run, but keep everything else the same.

>>4748331
I just ran it real fast, not hard if you don't go for 100% kills. Encoding a yuge webm.

>>4748352
Retribution is a GZDoom TC thing. EX takes the actual ROM. So it depends on your preference of features or accuracy.

>>4748351
Okay yeah, the same thing just happened to me.

My guess is more infighting and punching. Good luck!

>>4748358
Hm, guess I'll try that. I usually just kill everything so that's probably why.

>>4748351
Couldn't you just NOT fight the barons and just haul ass to the exit, saving your ammo for the small fries?
I mean, no fucking shit you're going to lose all your ammo trying to fight Baron von Healthdoor and his twin brother from a pistol start.

>>4748363
You can do it if you get the PGun and all the ammo around the level. It's still a crapshoot though.
