>Guncaster updated to 3.0 on there twice

>>4872659
>Abyss
Abyss and Edge of Oblivion are probably the only Levelord levels that look more or less as good as Levelord probably thinks they do. They are genuinely and explicitly visually interesting - and that's much more than can be said about the majority of other levels by him.

>>4873484
noticed that now, but next op will fix it.

No regrets whatsoever.

>>4873519
Look at this guy hes gone completely nuts.wad

>>4873489
In fact, what I thinks happens is that Levelord is trying to pass for visual beauty something that doesn't really have any direct relation to visual beauty. Something like neatness or orderliness, something like that.

And yes, from my personal standpoint, at their core, all the Levelord levels are primarily about their environmental design. My reasoning, shortly put, is something like that: trapstravaganza -> in order to predict the traps you are coerced to constantly look for subtle hints in environmental design (if it's not subtle enough, it's probably a trap bait, not a hint) -> which effectively means you are coerced, at any point of the level, to do something that looks, at least, from the outside, very similar to contemplating level art the way you do in art museum. Question is, what is it exactly you are meant to look at?

What happened to the guy who was doing a 64kb project with 3d weapons? I was loving his progress and I'm interested to see more.

Am I the only one who really likes AVP 2000 despite its flaws?
Yeah it's not amazing but I think it captures the atmosphere of both franchises really well.

Does anyone else just play 1 or 2 episodes in Build Engine FPS at a time?
I burn out so fast playing these games.

>>4873536
>Question is, what is it exactly you are meant to look at?
Perfection?

Didn't know Caleb also met Samus at some point

New version of Golden Souls 2 is up!

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-the-golden-souls-2/downloads/doom-the-golden-souls-2-11

Notable changes are a heavily tweaked Pyro Pyramid with tons of improvements and less "cheap" sections, Cannons that don't one shot anymore, buffed Star Whip and tons of major and minor bugfixes

>>4873548
I barely play build engine games, but i find myself getting lost all the time in DN3D and SW so i don't even really blame you

>>4873620
will my current saves still work?

Tried Fearrific.It's a mess but I like the textures.

>>4873629
I'm afraid not, considering some changes are in the code and structure of some maps.
Personally if you're still in World 1 and 2, i'd recommend starting over, otherwise, stick to your version

>>4873637
i guess lucky me, i only got to play 3 levels. although unlucky me, i really wanted to play this non-stop when it came out, i'm so behind

Besides Samsara monster mixer and QCDE, are there any other monsters randomizer mods focused on taking monsters from mostly old FPS games?

Anon, what's your favorite first level? imho Heretic is colorful, comfortable and brings me feels.

>>4873695
Hexen's Winnowing Hall

>>4873706
Nice choice. Pretty hard game if you get stuck!

>>4873695
duke nukem

>>4873548
I have never finished a complete wad. Not even the Doom games themselves. I just play a few random maps and quit.

>>4873695
For strict shooters, probably Unreal, if only for it setting up the 2nd level perfectly. If we're counting the edges of the thread theme, then definitely Bafford's Manor from Thief... Reading the notes, seeing the AI bang a gong to alert other guards, hearing Garrett quip about shit as you sneak around. 10/10.

>>4873784
Nice choices, touché

>>4873474
That's one tiny ass BFG

What's your overall personal opinion on Xaser's levels (both joke and non-joke ones)? What's the more or less the consensus in Doom community on them?

>>4873831
turbocharged arcade was fantastic
not a big fan of the "intentionally shit" style of jokewad, and i don't think i've played any of his serious maps other than zen dynamics, which had some cool scripting at the time but is a bit annoying to play now.

I want to have a repeatable switch that lets you raise and lower platforms with ACS, but at the same time I want to clamp the height to which you can lower/raise the floor so it doesnt go into the ground, how could I go about that?

>>4873947
if (GetSectorFloorZ < cap)

https://twitter.com/yuki_the_kat/status/1013339828702736384

>>4873985
Looks pretty cool.

>>4873981
cheers anon, made another switch to reset heights when platforms get too high

>>4874004
> if(x < y) {}
> else {dothing;}
jesus fuck
just do
> if (x > y) {dothing;}
you don't need the empty block before the "else"

>>4874013
gee anon, maybe I am just a retard who can into art but cant into code
"if it works, dont fuck with it"

>>4873695
>>4873706
Its gonna have to be Quake 1's E2M1
(it could be your first map if you walked into the E2 hallway)

>>4873808
BFG Pistol when?

Looking to try some wolfenstein bros. Which one should I start with and which ones should I play?

>>4874115
return to castle wolfenstein
10/10 game

Why Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders has so damn good level design? There's not a single level that doesn't feel fresh and new, also the rooms are always very memorable so either you look at how beautiful they are or just remember about it so you find your way though the levels, in fact i never got stuck on this amazing game. If you already didn't, play it already anon.

HAPPY CANADA DAY YOU CANUCKFAGS

>>4874115
If you're going old school, try the first three episodes of Wolfenstein 3D with ECWolf. It adds an automap feature that'll keep you from getting lost in all the maze-like hallways.

>>4874131
I played that level the other day and thought it was really cool. Fighting the lich while also fighting against the water current was interesting. The powerups and inventory were a great addition. One gripe I have though is the lack of texture variety, but I can forgive it.
Also the final level (E5M8) is pretty lame, essentially being a single big room where you fight a bunch of maulotaurs.

>>4874138
canada fucking sucks. canadians can be ok though

Finished Marathon
It was okay and it felt like it could have been more fun if played in coop

>>4873536
I don't know, I think Levelord maps are just flat and blocky. His city levels in Duke in particular are just small deathmatch arenas with no scaling or perspective.

He happens to like putting unimportant stuff in his maps like the "Funny Boner Comedy Club" in XXX Stacy, and it got worse in his new maps in episode 5. Red Ruckus and Tour de Nukem are random maps with useless details everywhere, you can remove them and you get two decent usermaps from the community.

Pigsty is another good example. The inside parts are detailed as fuck with so many who cares references, but the outside is a complete and utter joke, we should have witnessed a car crash, and yet, we got just one blocky whatever sector.

This never happened in Blum's city levels, in fact, he preferred to use less details but moe perspective and scale, and the results were much better. Duke Burger for example really feels like a McDonald's, straight from the famous Beavis and Butthead episode. You never felt the same in Levelord maps, except for Abyss, and maybe Warp Factor.

>>4874184
Blum is more like an Unreal designer, and he used conceptual grandness for the first time ever.

Levelord loved his micromanagement, but the grand perspective was lousier.

Another Levelord map that should have been successful was his unreleased Sewer map. The level is clearly not finished with huge monster count (which meant different gameplay) and some unfinished gameplay elements and missing sounds, but the level's actual layout and design is brilliant. Unlike other Levelord maps, it's less detailed, but more grandiose in scaling and the two storey layout was very interesting with part 1 is a city level and part 2 is the sewer system below it.

Honestly, with some fine tuning modifications that map could have been easily the highlight of episode 3, and probably a top5 level in Duke Nukem.

How?

>>4874192
Cheese it with note jumping.

>>4874192
there try looking on the map, there is a switch that will raise those bars

i think the switch is arround the end of the level

>>4874192
>got stuck in one of the memento moris
>bars close behind me when I hit a switch
>thought the map was broken
>all I had to do was shoot a switch

I always forget the goddamned shootable switches.

Currently playing hellbound with samsara duke, this just feels right

>>4873706
Seconding this, it sets up the atmosphere and style of the game so well.

>>4874271
>hellbound

>>4874261
>>4874192
> get stuck in a cage that you can only get out of by shooting a switch
MFW no ammo left and relying on the chainsaw

>>4874278
Quickly becoming my favorite honestly. Havent seen any better city/urban style wads

Do you think the doom trees clash with this texture pack? I'm just messing around right now.

>>4874131
I found some of episode 1 pretty shit. Not all, but some levels.

>>4874252
>>4874250
Figured it out, i can't find the last spider but I'll come back, unless someone can tell me if there is just one that's stupidly easy to miss.

>>4874305
Yes.

>>4874305
They look too bright
I think it's the colors

SHITPOSTER MARANAX PALLEX

>>4874305
Just use some realistic trees from Blood or Hexen if you're making an Earth / realistic level

>>4874357
MOD AN OX AND FEAR A BOOKS, EH

>>4874360
GROSS AND COOL

>>4874357
I love you, no homo. I LIVE. AGAIN

How can you remove vertical mouse movement in prboom-plus in windows 10? Linux and BSDs doesnt have it by default but windows 10 have it and couldnt found it in the options

MARANAX INFIRMUX

>>4874395
Solved it, just set to minimum the slider under "mouse sensitivity > vertical" haha

>>4874404
lel

>>4873547
Its a decent game, just got overshadowed by the sequel. Stalking terrified humans as an alien is fun as heck

>>4874401
Its a long way to tipperary...damn, forgot the words

>>4874357
PASTA MARINARA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thoughts on the Serious Sam series?

>First Encounter and Second Encounter: Hmmm yes I like this give me more
>SS2: We dont talk about that one
>BFE: Gets off to a slow start but probably the best in the series
>SS4: Looks like BFE if it took place in europe and Im fine with that

Also, I wonder who this guy is on the original cover. Somebody should tell him that you cant hold a minigun like that. The barrels rotate dude.

>>4874427
he looks like beefed up nick cage in that
and he's holding the damn thing sideways

>>4874131
Know any good user-made Heretic wads I should play?

Holy fuck that anon from the previous thread was right Quake with Quake IIs soundtrack is the shit.
MY FUCKING BRAIN IS ON FIRE I FUCKING LOVE FAST GAMES WITH EVEN FASTER MUSIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4874131
I love the original episodes but the expansion episodes are a bit of a slog. Lots of ugly texturing and confusing level design.
>>4874453
Elf Gets Pissed, Bastion

>>4874401
>>4874357
Are these guys voiced by Caleb's voice actor?

>>4874479
I know that everyone has the same voice for when they are burning,other than that i dont think so

>>4874462
Nothing against Trent's work, which is great but Q2 soundtrack feels much better because it fits with the pace of the game.
Q1 OST would work in any horror game.

What are some really big single-map WADS?

>>4874502
Dawn of Reality

>>4874484
That's a fucking ahegao.
You can't tell me otherwise.

>>4874401
>>4874357
Anyone know if BloodGDX works with shadow warrior? Is there a port specifically for shadow warrior?

I remember the game being pretty comfy and it being rather easy to get lost in the maps and id like to sit down with it again.

>>4874517
you can buy shadow warrior on steam for 2,50 its on sale .
>steam
yeah i know.

>>4874523
>>4874517
I asked if the port worked for it. Im not going to run shadow warrior through dosbox.

>>4874528
you can just google it

>>4874534
he already has the love of his life

>>4874517
don't listen to >>4874523 on steam there's SW classic version completely free to play.

>>4874523
It's also available on GOG

>>4874553
>>4874554
wew lads i already linked the source ports you dont have to bully me

5 minutes into catacombs and chill and he gives you this look (pic related) wwyd?

>>4874553
SW classic is using DOSBox, he asked for a sourceport.

>>4874013
This. That code was painful to read

>>4874427
The second encounter has some stupid stuff into it because they simply had the idea of put it there for no reason like Cucurbito or that Christmas map, but besides that it's all fine.

Also KLEERS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

How do I create a zoom bind in GZdoom? Kinda like in Quake 3.

>>4874571
HUH?! its in the options

>>4874583
That is for mods which makes usage of it, it doesn't work by the engine itself playing vanilla.

>>4874586
Vanilla doom on gzdoom its right there

What do you think of Fearrific?

>>4874597
That is what i mean anon, Weapon Reload, Weapon Zoom, Weapon State 1~4 are all meant for mods, it doesn't do anything in pure vanilla, try yourself.

>>4874597
I'm sorry, what I'm looking to do is create a macro that increases my FOV when a button is held down and then returns to my normal FOV when I release it.

>>4874535
>>4874554
>>4874556
thanks guys
not sure if the source port will run but I guess afterwhile ill find out
>>4874523
no bank account so I cant buy anything online
> yeah i know

>>4874571
>>4874583
>>4874597
not that guy but I figured zoom was a thing in zdoom, hadnt been using it though because I forgot it was in the options

>>4874612
i dont fucking now man im just a guy that likes video games,i feel bad now for spamming the thread

>>4874569
Another thing I like about BFE; toning it down with the Kleer swarms

>>4874612
bind z +zoomy
alias +zoomy "fov 45"
alias -zoomy "fov 90"

tested, confirmed, smoothly goes back and forth too, have fun

Shadow Warrior Complete is free on GOG at the moment.
https://www.gog.com/game/shadow_warrior_complete

>>4874479
>>4874482
yup, I forget where but Stephen Weyte confirmed in an interview that the Cultist voices were recorded in like, one straight 2-3 hour session. he made it sound like it was a lot of fun to voice act, like he just improv'd Caleb singing showtunes to add some personality

>>4874619
It's cool bruh
>>4874629
Well hot damn!

>>4874630
>>4874615
wow thanks for that
I wonder if they have any other free games going right now

>>4874534
Who's the guy on the right

>>4874654
Ha, I wasn't even replying to the conversation when I posted that. Just happened to see it and thought I'd share with /doom/. Good timing, I guess.

>>4874462
Sacrilige

>>4874630
Make sure to use this with a source port, and the content in the mega folder to give Prickford the middle finger.

>>4874663
my shitty guess is it's in Shin megami Tensei Strange Journey boxart dude
but i don't really know

>>4874462
Does Quake 1's soundtrack work well with Quake 2 though?

>>4874427
>devolver is retweeting tweets that claim SS4 will have over 100,00 enemies on screen
bull fucking shit

I like Serious Sam for it's horde-style combat. i think it does it better than Doom. i mostly like Doom for the level design

I have the perfect story for a wad/game but I have no time to finish it because of irl bullshit. Tempted to just post it in here so maybe the torch can be passed and someone will at least try to bring it into reality.

>>4874683
It is.

>>4874691
Doom does a good job when you have to destroy hordes of enemies.
The problem comes with 50 enemies all at once.
The arsenal in Doom is not really designed for this.

>>4874693
Show us what you got.

>>4874701
Is this why i hate slaughtershit? Doom doesnt have any fun creative weapons for HORDES. So it feels boring to take down hordes

>>4874709
Russian overkill with slaughtermaps ?
post results

>>4874701
I think every monster in Doom is well-designed. dodging mancubus is fun, avoiding archvile is fun, they're all good monsters
but when there's a shitload of them at once, it doesn't feel like as fun. i'm not fighting any of them the "fun" way, i'm at most hiding behind a corner and peaking to get some kills

>>4874712
RO is a joke that gets stale in five minutes.
>>4874717
I have fun with Doom's enemies because they each have behavior that's simple but still fun to work with. I think hordes ruin it because past a point you can't work with specific monsters by prioritizing some in a moment-to-moment basis, it all devolves into a shitty group that's spamming too many attacks to deal with each individually. So you either peek around corners, or circlestrafe mind numbingly.

>>4874462
>>4874687
Im not sure about it, the mood for Q1 just seems abit more creepy and horror movie style and likely wont fit. If you want to play some tracks in a music player independently id suggest that Track 11 would work and also the one from zigurrat vertigo

But from the samples on youtube I heard of the Quake 2 N64 soundtrack those would work PERFECT for either game. Trick is to find a higher quality version.

>>4874691
im going to guess this is like anisoptropy where the more monsters there are and the farther away they are theyll just load lower and lower poly models for them.
I still call bullshit on 100,000 of them because even if you had a Sprite based system with some billboard arms and legs to move around on them it would still bog down after a few thousand. I mean if GZ will bog down on a modern system then even a more efficient game engine wouldn't press too many multiple past that.

>>4874709
>>4874701
You guys do realize that the BFG tracers will hit and deposit their damage into the crowd even if monsters only take one tracer, it will still register?

Wouldn't the heavy assault rifle be called an antimaterial rifle or heavy machine gun considering how it is chambered in .50 Cal?

>>4874730
I've been playing EDF4.1 and they lower the animations of the insects at a certian distance
and even then, EDF4.1 is nowhere near 100,000 insects

>>4874757
It doesn't have to be a .50BMG gun, it could be something like a .50GI (a piece of shit), or something like that.
.50 caliber would be a really stupid choice for an infantry rifle or LMG in real life.

>>4874702
Alright, fuck it.

Pic related is the only exposition the player gets. Then they're thrown into a series of claustrophobic levels fighting against gray-skinned intelligent marines. Additionally the player is hooked up to an instant-messaging system so they frequently receive messages from fellow marines, each talking about their mission progress, grievances, last words to the world, etc. They say the grayskins they are fighting against are called Silicates.

In between each level, a paragraph of this big "story chunk" is displayed to the player in those old-school intermission screens with some harrowing creepy noise ambience in the background:

https://pastebin.com/ER3DeVfc

The last level has the player transform himself into a gray-skinned Silicate, and is forced to face a human marine who guns him down and kills him. Very cinematic mod.

I can upload the content I have, if anyone's interested. The DECORATE/ZScript is essentially finished. All that remains is the shit-ton of level design, which I no longer have any drive to do. I feel like holding onto this idea to write a novel or something but I have original ideas five times a day so I don't think this story is anything special.

>>4874757
>implying id understands guns.

We are talking about the guys who made a Minigun that fires slower than most SMGs and called it a Chaingun.

>>4874757
>heavy assault rifle
what game are you referring to?

>>4874769
the original team ideated a chaingun that is in reality just a pistol with slightly faster rate of fire

>>4874771
D44M

>>4874771
really sends the ol' noggin joggin'.

>Software handles XY billboarding by the sprite's origin
>GL handles XY billboarding by the sprite's centre, with no options or flags to imitate Software
Why.

>>4874781
oh
>>4874783
in my defence i haven't played it

>>4874730
Yes, but a lot of times you don't even have the BFG and you have to rely on the Rocket Launcher or SSG.

>>4874762
I mean, this is the far future. It probably has enough recoil compensation devices put in it to put the AA-12 to shame.

>>4874794
I misquoted, sorry. nevermind.

>>4874802
it cool anon

>>4874663
>>4874683
Correct. Fans call him "doomguy" often due to him having no canon and Strange Journey basically being Doom: the jrpg.

So this is pretty much Blood: the roguelike if anyone is interested:

1920s setting, cultists (you can even play as one), dynamite, guns, undead, weird chtulu-ian stuff...

>>4874569
I really love the humor direction TSE had, althought I admit they went too far in SS2, and I'm sad they seem to be going full gritty now.
Now I need to find another colorful-yet-bloody fast paced FPS series.

>>4874823
That website design is sweet...he puts a donate tab but no donate link

>>4874630
i have it already, though i wanted redux since gog doesn't transfer mine from steam

Quake 2 needs its Own Single player map jam badly
also, there's a model and texture replacement pack for the Expansions or they are pretty much forgotten?

>>4874680
Did ol' Rando get the shadow warrior license, too? I thought it was just Dook

>>4874845
Is there even an active Quake 2 community?

>>4874854
There it is but everyone cares only for Online DM

the only good Stuff are the old shit like Zaero, Juggernaut and Unseen

>>4874757
>>4874762
>>4874771
>>4874781
Its probably something like .50 beowulf or a similar round which is half inch bore but only has about as much firepower as a standard rifle round (possibly even 300win mag class).
What you get with it is alot of meat penetration and capability to smash through bones and carapace without the bullet being deflected as much. Ideal for taking on large animals (demons).
Defense Contractors for black ops sites like these could put out all sorts of crazy orders for equipment and since its tax dollars hard at work they would supply it and just wouldnt ask.

Ive had this assertion all along that the Nailguns for Quake 1 were just meant to take advantage of these large propellant driven nails (think of a Hilti stud driver) because they were planning on expanding settlements through the slipgates. Nailguns would have shit for range maybe 200 yards maximum even considering ballistic drop. But like metal crossbow bolts they have alot of takedown and armor penetrating power.
Standard Nailgun must be a prototype before the company requested a gatling version after which only the SNG would have been delivered to them.
But since there's thousands of these nails in packages due to the future construction needs it settles logistics, no need to stock belted 7.62mm ammo
> who the fuck needs range, we have rocket launchers and railguns for that

>>4874801
The AA12 isn't actually that smart or complex, but fair enough.

>>4874870
.50 Beowulf would be quite a pounder, and if you could tame the recoil with mechanics somehow, then it would be a beast in CQB.
Range is an important question though, how far does it reach? You kind of want an infantry combat rifle to be able to reach like 400 or 500 yards or something.

Fuck that is funny

>>4874870
why does this shit stuck with dark places?

>>4874885
Can you repeat the question?

>>4874870

I'm sorry, didn't Mental say he was going to moon Serious Sam?
Sounds pretty goofy to me
and SS4 won't have a single egypt level, so expect less brown more green

>>4874962
Yeah a gnaar says to Sam through the phone that Mental was off home to "Moon a planet that has a guy which was pissing him off"

Still BFE ending is actuallt the saddest one of the franchise because it really happens in literal form and if you got any bond by any of the few supportive characters, specially Hellfire, well not even the planet is there anymore.

>>4874979
i think i was too stupid to even realize what was going on
thought mental was gonna flash his ass at me until i saw that moon coming

Boy oh boy do I love when Quake maps don't give you enough ammo to kill the enemies you're up against. Because of course the funnest thing to do in Quake is run around like a headless chicken.

What are some slaughterwad type maps you guys like? I'm sure I have a bunch but its been a while.

>>4874791
That's because looking up and down in software mode doesn't actually change the Y axis in the view vector. If you want sprites not to do that then switch it to only Y axis billboarding. Otherwise will always be messed up in a true 3d renderer.

>>4875034
Don't use explosives, hammer them with nails, or the lightning gun if you got it. Don't bother with rockets or grenades unless you got a quad damage, and even then you're still better off using nails/lightning

>>4875032
Haven't played too many yet. Bin Dunne Gorne 2 is pretty cool. I like the IKSPQ1-4 series, although I was referencing #4 in that post. Contract is cool but hard as hell, also a bit stingy on ammo for me.

>>4875045
I retract my earlier statement then, cus Quake lives or dies by its map design, if the map is fucked, then YOU'RE fucked.
I'm always stingy as hell with ammo though, I put the normal shotgun through its paces.

As a Doomfag who's never played this would I prefer Wolfenstein 3D TC or ECWolf?

but then the game came out
>.....oh

>>4875017
That has nothing to do with what's being talked about.

>>4874427
I like SS2, i understand why it turned off a lot of the OG fans, but it was a fun romp. It felt like it had an identity, while the first 2 looked and felt extremely basic. I played the original two 3 times, once with a friend trough split screen, we didn't have a second mouse, so we both played on the same keyboard, i don't know how we managed to beat it. But nowadays i have no urge to revisit them, not even with the HD edition, once you know all the tricks it loses all the magic. SS3 was fun in places, but it had some really weird design choices that turned me off, like the constant hitscan, the janky executions that basically opened you up to enemy fire, if it wasn't for online co-op and respawns i definitely wouldn't have finished it. As for the few spin off's, fun but gimmicky, not much else to say. Overall, fun series, but not that interesting. Painkiller will always be the superior horde shooter in my opinion.

Wolf3D is a pretty okay game up until you get to the point where blue SS officers are around every corner and blast you the second one pixel of yourself comes into their view. There was an entire map dedicated just to this concept, it was fucking absurd. Literally like 50 corners staggered to make diagonal paths and an officer in every single one of them. I almost stopped playing at that point.

Implying Range matters in hell or in CQB situations where the majority of combat takes place in. If its got 150 yards its good.
> this is 3600 map units by the way, since every 8 map units is 1 foot.

Everybody who has said big caliber slow bullets are inaccurate is dead wrong. The 45-70 especially a heavier 400 grain load can be used to hit shit 500-1000 yards away, it is a rainbow trajectory. You use a Ladder Sight ("artillery sight") to compensate for the bullet drop.

>>4874991
>>4875029
You're not applying Tactics properly. Not all FPS maps are a straight fight.
> Is there a Quad Damage anywhere, try to lure as many monsters within reach of it so you can destroy them, quad damage does not eat up more ammo than usual.
Can you get weak enemies to stand together for grenade hits? Grenades and rockets arent intended to only do 100 damage, every additional target that takes splash is like free ammo for other weapons.

Also there are enemies you can use the Axe on, why wait until you run out of ammo before you use the axe. You need to think in Efficiency terms. If this is AD the shadow axe is preferable to straight combat because it fazes with every hit and it can even stunlock a shambler.
If you got a monster isolated away from others, its not a bear to take on with the axe, just go ahead and take them out that way. Think Ahead.
> also if there are any Invulnerabilities in the map, thats carte blanche to use Rockets on everything, get a nice huddle going and start blowing them up because it dont hurt you.

That map?
In the water below there's a depression and inside there's a Ring Of Shadows. Makes you invisible to monsters that havent seen you yet.

Grab it and beat street as fast as you can back upstairs to go through the shambler trap. The shambler will teleport in but wont see you and youll have just enough time to get through the Gold Key Door.

I don't know where the gif comes from, personally i'm perfectly fine with dosbox. Not sure why the people bitch so much about it, i mean, if one of the reasons is the mouse well, you just have to enable it from the game and then press U, it's not that hard. Someone says that the game reads only one axis at the time, but for me that wasn't the case so tl;dr dosbox is fine; the gif is taken from google.

>>4876032
i play blood on dosbox, and yeah i prefer more GDX than it, i have no problems with that, but GDX is shaping itself to becoem good, thge last thing we need now is more modding shit and maybe some eDuke code stuff like polymost

My fellow quakefags and doomfags here on this board, and also those who also lives on Func_Msgboard forums.
What are you guys think of a Quake 2 SP Mapping jam? which anyone even news can get in to learn how to map or something on the same vein as Q1 Map Jams?

Q2 has a lot of content but no one does maps, in fact this game ended up with 5 expansion packs, 2 official, and 3 unofficial, with Zaero being almost Greenlighted as official.

It would give me an excuse to drag my Q2 stuff off of my external drive. It is a cruel mistress that I love, but its been so long.
There should be murderous blaster and laser traps in it.
If I may add the suggestion, one of the expansions should be used as a base for it to allow provide extra weapons, enemies, and textures. Im siding with The Reckoning on that.
> partly to encourage people to get, and play, the expansions if they didnt already buy it as part of a pack.
> Ground Zero has way too many fucking extra items
If possible some AD style rebalancing should occur, that ripper gun needs to do 30 damage per hit so its 1:1 with the Hyperblaster (or less, maybe 25, so the hyper still remains relevant). Chaingun should probably do 6 per hit too just so the Machinegun is still relevant, thats the way it works in DM so its performance in SP should be no exception.

/doom/ has had a huge influx of newfags lately

>>4876256
A little new blood helps on occasion, as long as they adapt.

>>4876246

this is my autoexec.cfg, it goes inside the Id1 folder:

fov "110" (for widescreen)
r_particles "2" (for square particles)
fog "0.02" "0.8" "0.6" "0.4" (for fog)
gl_texturemode "3" (for pixelated look with mipmaps)
crosshair "1"
r_wateralpha "0.4"
r_slimealpha "0.8"
r_lavaalpha "1"
r_telealpha "0.6"
r_shadow "1"

if you want it more retro, remove r_shadow (I don't even know if this setting works) and add:

r_lerpmove 0 (disables interpolation for enemies)
r_lerpmodels 0 (disables interpolation for everything else)

leave r_xalpha on "1"

gl_texture mode can be set as:

GL_NEAREST → Point sampled. Lowest quality, highest performance.
GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST → GL_NEAREST but with a bit more quality for far objects (software-like).
GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR → GL_NEAREST but with even more quality for far objects.
GL_LINEAR → Bilinear interpolation.
GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST → Bilinear interpolation with a bit more quality for far objects.
GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR → Trilinear interpolation. Highest quality, lowest performance.

in your config.cfg add:

bind "ENTER" "exec autoexec.cfg"

fog doesn't autoexec, that's why you need to bind it to a key, if you are not going to use fog, you don't need to bind enter

meanwhile Wing Commander 1, 2 and 3 supports it

>>4876253
Man I love fungus

>>4876270
>Tried it
>Weapons go up and on
Ok it doesn't look bad but I definetly did not expect this.

>>4876274
>>4876231
does it have any fancy requirements or is it like that DX11 filter for DX9 and lower where it just makes more effects available?
> openGL 1.5 here
I mean its just kinda silly to set the requirements higher for something than the features it would actually be using.

>>4876262
you need vised maps to use r_xalpha or set r_novis 1 (not recommended on older computers)
http://vispatch.sourceforge.net/

>>4876267
Don't think I can find a better one.

>>4876302
Fun stuff.

>>4876304

set it on 0.5

Alright I want to play Map Jam 9.
It says that I need Quoth
I download it along the patch
I exctract all the files in the same folder.
But then I play it but it leads me to Quoth.
What am I supposed to do? It still works without Quoth.

>>4876262
r_oldwater 0

>>4876302
You sound like a fun guy to be around get it

Why whenever I shoot in Quake the screen turns orange?

>>4876306
it uses open GL too, but i wouldn't bet if its compatible with modern ones

>>4876318
create a shortcut and add: "X:\ ... \quakespasm.exe" -quoth -game mapjam9 <- (actual folder name)

>those fucking quake zombies that can only be killed with explosives
>and you dont have any explosives

goddamn, at least let me kill them with the axe. If i knock them down i should be able to chop them up before they get up again shouldnt i?

>>4876341
>ever running out of grenades or rockets

>>4876324
I feel like I'm the only new Quake player here who bothered to read the pastebin about setting up Quake 1 properly

>>4876318

>>4876129
the tools worked, I just used them ass-backwards.
t. anon too dumb for code

what's the name of this map?
>inb4 e1m1

>>4876352
Done what exactly it told to do
Same results

>>4876326
>>4876274
Consider checking out r_viewmodel_quake 1

>>4876367
It's the hangar from Arcane Dimensions

>>4876370
so, it's not an e1m1 remake

>>4876373
technically it is
but with a good few twists

>>4876373
It is

>>4876376
>>4876378
ok, I never tried arcane dimensions, seems that it's time, thanks

>Realize I could've gotten Quake here for free after buying the steam version
Oops.
Oh well, on the sale it's like, a dollar, and I'm too lazy to go through the effort of setting it up again, so I'll call it a convenience fee.

>>4876368

I'm going to spank you in the balls

my .exe is renamed because I launch it with steam

>>4876369
it doesnt work

>>4876390
for the love of isha, just use Simple Quake Launcher

>>4876397

>>4876397
Thank you very much,it works now.

I've been playing Golden Souls 2, up to world three.

The presentation is great and everything looks and sounds sweet but the level design feels really off. It just doesn't feel organic, lots of boxy rooms and backtracking and no secrets (I wouldn't count the big coins, not all of them anyway). It just feels like a chore to get through sometimes.

What is the best way to play Half life classic these days, been wanting to replay them.
