>>5005370 (video guy)
for the intro part, you should sync up the mod/scene changes up better with the music (and also use a better soundfont) so it feels better
syncing things up in general is a good way to go

>>5010289
Some COMPARATIVELY beautiful visuals can be created in the Quake engine. Those COMPARATIVELY beautiful visuals however cannot compete with visuals newer engines allow for, and thus the primary thing they achieve is emphasizing the age of the Quake engine, moreso for the vanilla version of it.
This calls for a question to the "limit-pushers". Why continue harping on engine that is just not good with eyecandy instead of working with the engine that doesn't have any problems with eyecandy - especially since eyecandy is apparenly that important for you (meaning "limit-pusher")?

What do aliens do once they wake up with the body of a babe?

Here's a Doom Eternal joke i just thought of
>Doomguy uses the SSG's meat hook on some enemy
>The hook pulls the gun so hard, the shotgun flies away from his fans
>Gets close to said enemy, who then grabs SSG and points it at Doomguy
>"Well, guess i am now Eternally Doomed"

>>5010370
epic.

>>5010370

>>5010361
Picked up.

>>5010349
Also, come to think of it, beautiful and ugly aren't opposites. There is also decent, clean and, just, inoffensive, I guess. There is no necessity to be le grande artiste just so that your level not to be perceived as an eyesore. Unless, of course, you are trying to cover up for your inability NOT to make it an eyesore.

>>5010390
>beautiful and ugly aren't opposites
yeah they are.

I think what you meant to say is that "there's are things between beautiful and ugly".

>>5010370
I have a better idea for a comic strip
>Some flying characters like reimu and superman flying about
>They see a meathooked pain elemental/cacodemon screaming and rushing past them
>Next panel is doomslayer on the other end of the chain, he takes a hand off the SSG, looks at them, and waves
>Title would be something like "I can fly too!"

>>5010391
I don't think so. I would rather say that thing could simply be unremarkable, not drawing attention to them, or even subtly pleasant in a sort of "to be taken for granted" way. And that's a very different thing from being 50% beautiful 50% ugly.

In terms of this pleaant comforting vibe, take a look at Mikko Sandt's "Distractions" userlevel. It's obvious there was artistic taste involved. But it's low-key, not screaming, not ambitious, functional, treating the engine AND the player with respect. It's a very different things from creating gigantic whateverthefucks with clashing colors and polygons sticking in all directions imaginable.

>>5010402
>I would rather say that thing could simply be unremarkable
but at that point it has nothing to do with it being beautiful or ugly, since both pretty and ugly things can be unremarkable.

you went on to list things that are inbetween beautiful and ugly in the previous post.

>>5010406
Well, in order to judge something you first need to notice it, right? What I am talking about however is intentionally being low-key, with nothing sticking out visually, being just uniformly pleasant enough, so that to enhance the feel of the level without drawing attention to it, since that attention is probably supposed to be preoccupied with some more important things (unless the level was created specifically in order to showcase its visuals).

>>5010370

>>5010416

Yeah. V1.1 fixes that, my bad.

So I'm trying to download Smooth Doom but apparently the download keeps failing.

Is it something wrong on my end or is the file down?

>>5010305
what soundfont would you recommend?
the first track was ripped from YT yeah not the greatest idea, the second one I recorded on zandronum with the default soundfont because I was playing with Combined Arms


Im not sure what to do with the sound now, the flow and structure of the video has changed considerably
>intro
>a bunch of gameplay mods 10 seconds a piece (up to 3 clips for each one)
>vanilla break section to give the viewer a bit of a breather, 15 seconds a piece uninterrupted
>monster only section, 3 mods, 10 seconds each uninterrupted
>back to gameplay mods, returning to 3 clips for each one totaling 10 seconds
>brutal doom bait & switch
Current watch time: 9 minutes

the titles are integrated into the gameplay, and they give 2-3 seconds to read them depending of how much text there is, I dont know if thats too much or too little for the average viewer
maybe they are too intrusive, I tried to come up with an easy to edit overlay I could put in a corner but I wasnt happy with the results

Im thinking maybe I need restart with a clean slate, but I would like to keep the clips because I spent a lot of time putting them together, and I dont want to comb the footage again for the cool bits, rebuilding the video from there wouldnt be too big of an issue
I do have 3 backups just in case I need to go back to how the video was originally

>>5010476
Wait what
Why are you opening with mods?
Isn't it more sensible to show vanilla gameplay first?

>>5010481
From your last video I thought it was a good idea to have the intro bit with some mods to show what it's capable of, but then going vanilla right after that, and only going into mod detail after vanilla

God damn Descent is amazing. Is Descent 2 and Forsaken just as good?

>>5010481
>>5010482
by vanilla a mean a map showcase with vanilla gameplay
in this case Ancient Aliens, Going Down, JCPC, etc

how to run pure vanilla is covered in the intro
I did fold chocolate Doom as a suggestion in the Crispy Doom section as some other anon suggested

>>5010514
oh ok, gotcha

>Two Quake sites are unavailable in Europe because someone got worried about the new privacy policies
Well, i hope article 13 and 11 won't pass, because i don't want to miss anything related to my hobbies for this shit
https://twitter.com/doomwiki/status/1032817221821706240

>>5010518
And europeans were acting high and mighty against americans just a few months ago over internet policies.

>>5010518
You do know VPNs are a thing, right
There's no need to worry about dumb laws

>>5010476
Btw, minor thing, it's "Newgothic Movement", not "Neogothic Movement". I know it's equivalent but it might trip up people looking for it

Is there any way to make SmoothDoom work with DAKKA or other gameplay mods? Seems like at least by default they conflict

>>5010571
Nope, that would require merging weapon code.

>>5010637
I should've been more specific, I meant making the monster animations work (I know guns would have to be redone entirely) while DAKKA is loaded but disabling the weapon stuff

But yeah I guess it would be more trouble than it's worth

Combined Arms is solely the weapons mod and Combined Harms is the extra enemies, right? I'm guessing this is the case but it isn't explicitly stated on the website

>>5010652
Yes. I should probably clarify that on the page. You can pair the two together or pair CA with most monster mods, or CH with most weapon mods.

>>5010654
Cool, thanks buddy

>>5010657
No problem, hope you enjoy the weapons and monsters

>>5010660
CH makes some maps absolutely brutal. I appreciate having a set of monsters to help balance out the weapons, though.

>>5010660
I like the way his "eyes" move about

>>5010292
Thanks to you guys now I have this pretty decent stash of WADs handy. Having a blast exploring it all

I did remove Pillowblaster's stuff because super OP stuff just wasn't my cup of tea

>>5010689
Those are definitely his eyes.

The greatest thing about KDiZD is that it's Doom 1 remade by people who don't understand it.

>>5010390
>>5010349
>being this incredibly pretentious
Quake can have pretty maps even with the normal map limits. You're just being a fag.

>>5010761
Just report him at this point.

>>5010767
I will. I don't have any idea what the fuck he's rambling about but with his schizophrenic nonsense I'd almost think he was S'*****

>>5010424
Why is that? I feel exactly opposite and I'm genuinely curious.

>>5010370
god, it's like i'm reading one of redead-ita's shitty rambles in between his 4chan screencaps

>>5010698
Is that his ouchface?

>>5010698
I like this

>>5010757
That's a pretty good way of putting it.
I like flashy graphics and detailed maps, but KDIZD kind of misses the mark really hard.

>>5010790
Every time I play it, I won't lie, I do get wowed by the copious amounts of Zdoom shit, but Thunpeak and The City of the Damned: Apocalypse do the zdoom techdemo kind of stuff infinitely better. Doom remakes shouldn't make the switch hunts twice (or in some cases, thrice) as long, and the key hunts shouldn't be stopped by constant objectives or other really stupid shit.

wabbit season

>>5010814
Duck season

Anyone know of some good episodic Quake map packs? I feel like playing something with a bit of progression to it today.

>>5010814
So will the other girl be "Duck season"?

>>5010826
I think Interceptor Entertainment put together a free episode for Quake back during its anniversary, and I heard it wasn't bad.
Only one episode though.

>>5010814
mating season

>>5010847
that was machinegames IIRC

>>5010850
MATING SEASON!

>>5010826
Arcane Dimensions, unless you mean a strict order to the episodes, then not that one

>>5010853
Aw, fuck, my mistake.

>>5010361
what mod?

>>5010867
Alien Armageddon
It's in the OP

Is it intentional that Dakka's alt-punch attack is so OP?

I mean, it's not on cooldown, it does a fuckton of damage, it's AoE so you don't even have to be precise with it, requires no energy/resource to do. Am I missing something?

>>5010872
+There's seemingly no reason to ever use the normal punch attack when it does so little single target damage compared to the mega alt-combo that does like ~200 AoE

>>5010872
>>5010875
The triple tap on it's fucking incredible, though holding down the primary is pretty great too, also alternating gets more points.

>>5010698
This is his crate weapon reloading face.

>>5010639
It'd be trivial to comment out the weapon slot lines or the weapons entirely and then load Dakka after it, since Dakka doesn't use it's own replacer to keep score anymore.

So Compendium has like 12 or so megawads combined into one. It's fucking awesome, but is there anything like it for Quake, or Quake 2?

Is there a way to reload pistols in Final Doomer without having to spend the entire mag?

Reload key tells you info about the weapon but seemingly doesn't actually reload

>>5010930
Nevermind figured it out, it's secondary fire

Is Alien Armageddon worth playing? Or just the usual shitty Build porn with out of place graphics and poor weapon changes?

did doom 1/2 always had waterfall textures or were they new in final doom?

>>5010969
Doom had none, Doom 2 had slimefall and bloodfall textures, and I think sludgefalls.
Final Doom recolored one of those to have a waterfall.

>>5010294

>>5010476

I would emphasise the granularity of doom modding.

Start with Chocolate doom at a low resolution, move to PrBoom, then GZDoom.

Start from the assumption that whoever is looking at the video thinks that Brutal Doom is what invented vertical aiming in doom.

Anyone else think Doom 3 has some of the best weapon sounds in the series?

>>5011035
Yes, specially the energy weapons, Plasma does not look like a bubbles gun that makes stupid pew pew noises, and BFG actually displays power in sound rather than DUBDUB when it hits.

The doom comics were great, nice way to unwind after all the rage that occurs in castlevania threads.

>>5011045
yeah, in exchange they look and feel like total garbage

>>5011035
counterpoint: the doom 3 machinegun, shotgun, and pistol sound like wet slaps

>>5011045
I like the Doom 4 BFG personally but the plasma rifle can fuck off. Especially with how the Doom 1 and 3 Plasma Rifles sound fucking AWESOME.

Which begs the question

Doom 1 or Doom 3 Plasma Rifle?

>>5011035
The D3 chaingun, plasma gun, BFG, and rocket launcher are great, but this is counterbalanced by the lower tier weapons being piss poor

>>5011080
D3's BFG is a disgrace on the aesthetics front. the small hand cranny that presumably operates it is such a dumb design choice, the recoil from a fully charged shot would fucking destroy your forearm. the hugeass chassis or even D4's buttstock are far better choices. not to mention potential death from overexert/overcharge.

>>5011045
the optimal bfg
> quake 2 firing sound
> doom 64 impact sound

>>5010990
>cliche maps
>cliche battles
>weird weapon ripoffs from other games
>unnecessary sound changes
>irrelevant NPCs
>irrelevant extra textures

Why can't these lads build something like Golden Carnage?

>>5011035
reload sfx are ace as fuck for the sole exception of the shotgun, that chaingun and plasma. unf.
actual gun sounds are garbage and I despise nearly all of them. especially the rocket launcher's whistle, plasma gun's deep ass BWOMMP, and again the shotgun with its clunky, grating metallic pumping that is heavy on the ears and gets tiresome fast.

>>5011120
Really? I fucking love the sounds for the Shotgun and Super Shotgun. I'd use them in everything if I could.

>>5011115
>what is a mod

because they wanted to build their own thing, why even ask if you just want 3DR-style stuff?

>>5011120
as much as the pistol and its firing sounds suck, i like the reload sounds and design of it

>>5011189
>someone actually spent time making this

>>5011195
It's just text on an mspaint edit, shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes unless you're retarded.

is there a wad that only has the brutal doom monsters and gore but nothing else?

>>5011235
https://www.moddb.com/addons/brutal-doom-monsters-only

There is, it's aptly called brutal doom monsters.

>>5011242
>>5011246
thanks

So how's that gnoll thing coming along?

So does /doom/ retroactively hate ProjectBrutality because of the author's recent behavior or do you still enjoy the 2.03 release?

>>5011269
I wouldn't say hate, I just think they're really fucking stupid.

I thought 2.whatever was alright (for a bunch of other mods crammed together) but I've not played it in years, now I usually stick to more coherent gun-based mods like Trailblazer, Combined Arms and Dakka.

>>5011269
>because of the author's recent behavior

Give me the quick rundown

>>5010872
>>5010875
the fist primary fire does 227DPS when at max speed, while the alt-fire only does 175DPS against a single target
also the AoE effect is "only" 100 damage; the other 100 damage requires you to actually hit

it's an incredibly niche use I admit, but it is something

>>5011258
Gnoll?

>>5011280
what do you like about trailblazer? I gave it a try and it didnt really click with me, at least that time

>>5011302
I play it alongside Colorful Doom to even things up...somewhat.

>>5011269
i fucking love ProjectBrutality, fuck you

>>5011285
second this

I don't know what's causing it but the latest versions of Colorfull Hell have been crashing the game on GZDoom (3.4.1), while i was playing it with Trailblazer

>>5011312
Not on my end, I'm using GZD 3.5.

>>5011302
I like a lot of how the weapons handle, the upgrade system kind of makes it absurdly easy towards the end of stuff though.

The dual shotguns handle really nicely compared to other mods that do the same shit.

>>5011305
I think -fast can also help. If you're still OP after all that, go full autismo and bump things to nightmare.

>>5010771
Just the design and all. I know its sm, so i can't expect ad level of quality, but probably deep inside I am.
It just proves to me that good maps take time to make.
But hey, people have different tastes, most likely id like them more if i was myself a mapper

woah what the fuck
i lost my save in Golden Souls 2 and I could have sworn the level after Moonlight Morass was the Autumn one

>>5011353
eh, that's kind of a problem. You've raised the expectations so high that you perceive anything else as bad or worthless.

Plus, speedmapping is more of a challenge to see how good of a mapper's wit is in a short timeframe.
Maps that you prefer do take a long time. Time of designing the layout, setpieces, balancing and plenty, plenty of testing to come out with a quality level.
Most of the things i referred in previous sentence are difficult to execute under just few days or less, and even if you succeed, it's obvious it won't be on par like AD.

Sorry if I ended up a bit aggressive and possibly telling the obvious, didn't mean this as a personal attack on you. I'm just sick of shit when people raise the bar on level design and diss other levels as garbage or uninteresting even though it's got some solid stuff.

>>5011632
>>5011609
>>5011574
He's making that up
As far as I know the 'drama' involving the author is that he is being a little bitch and making people sign NDAs to test out his new release of the mod or something like that

>>5011696
There was other drama too about them using private test builds of other mods as sources of content for their public builds.

PB is a fucking drama mill, it seems.

>>5010294
>>5010292
More updates to the demo maps; map03 accessible from both now.
May abandon this mapset for another singular map, or just work on the map as INTER02, otherwise, feel free to pick it up for /vr/'s own community project.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwiv2gwbnxbwjhj/LOTX-DemoV2.rar?dl=0 - No credits; I was going to do these last when it was actually ready

episode theme is "abandoned, decaying techbase on the moon of Enceladus orbiting saturn, takes place several years after D64, but before most other community content. Attempt to blend D64, CC4, and Doom 2 textures. The bases are normally on baseline automation to function, but has been recently activated due to the unusual attack by hell (there are MUCH better places they could have picked, so why attack here?), and after so long (didn't doomguy stay in hell to wipe these guys out?), they're literally only coming back online due to your actions and the UAC sweeping in here to investigate the signal, so you'll meet up with the odd cybercore unit (automated protection unit/UAC Elite) or actual UAC marine"

feel free to edit or modify existing maps to your liking; "INTERxx" maps should be left to experimental gameplay that would not be typically seen in normal DOOM, or don't apply to the main theme.

Design suggestions:
Try to make the ends of one map flow nicely into the other.

If the player is going to be in an area for extended periods of time, detail it applicably. If they're going to pass through quick, apply less detail.

Design around the idea that frozen monsters can block projectiles.

Many of the map layouts are already somewhat conceptualized, as is some baseline gameplay and suggested musics, see follow-up post.

The cyan fluid is "Cryothalum"- think Lava-but-Cold-as-fuck-not-hot-as-fuck. Inspired by the Kahwah Ijen

The maps are generally with a dense atmosphere/fog due to the abundance of LAVA and CRYOTHALUM. Lava does not occur naturally on the planet and must be imported by the UAC.

Is there any wad that adds an Archvile with less health and/or a higher pain chance that can be spammed less obnoxiously?

>>5011754
Map01: e1m1 again, implication here is that the hangars are a pretty "prefab" setup which is why they all look so similar, uac just tacks on what they need afterward. General introduction to the theme and atmosphere, plus introduction to powercubes.

map02: Power plant and magma/lava management plant. Lava does NOT occur naturally on Enceladus; but it's (fictional) equivalent, "Cryothalum", does. Tower is kind of iffy, the rooms were originally planned to be underground but I couldn't really factor that well, and I couldn't make the tower seem like a drill of any sort either while still having the teleporters in it.

Inter01: A "fractured reality" sort of place, wherein the player is visiting while they are "Dead", You're NOT supposed to be here, and the place is NOT supposed to exist; it literally only does because of what just happened. It's an experimental map meant to establish a map theme outside of the existing maps, something made as a diversion to alleviate stress on other maps. You can die here instantly, but it's a general intro into how some keys/skulls will trigger/untrigger applicably. The problem is I couldn't figure out how to make the scripts apply to the newly spawned skulls instead of being triggered by a line the player is meant to run over when picking up the respective skulls off of an altar. Also has a weird voodoo switch-puzzle-thing. Go figure.

(post is large, sorry, will require multiple/slight spam)

>>5011760
Map03: Wherein e1m3 was a "toxin refinery", this is the Cryothalum Refinery. The archvile from Map02 makes a major appearance here to harrass you throughout, and the majority of lighting here is very dark. It's intended to be an introductory on how most maps past this point are going to be very dark and require the flashlight.
Map04: Some kind of invasion type map that can be "lost" if the power-core thing is destroyed. Three general main arenas that lead up to the central area here where the core is. There could be a maze here where the player goes to rapidly get around the map while dropping down into a series of maintenance tunnels which serves as our maze. Has the first mini-boss and introduces the Cybruiser.

Map08: A callback in some ways to E1M8, after a long, arduous trek across Enceladus' frozen surface from the previous map. Terminator miniboss introduced here, as is the final boss (just abolisher with a freeze attack really).

Map09: undecided

And yes, the purple fog is totally a real life thing.
sorry for the spam.

haven't worked on iDOLM@STER doom, too busy thinking about playing Crash Bandicoot 2 again.

>>5012048
One Crash-themed mod already exists.

does anyone have any interest in Vanilla+ mods for monster replacers? It feels like all the monster replacers are for doom iwads only, so I'm trying to gauge interest in other games since nobody seemed to care about my heretic one I started recently.

No?

Crash Bandidoom then.

>>5012056
I like when the maps clearly aren't as stingy about making a map that "looks" good, and simply just plays nice. Having said this, the detail should be proportional to how long a player spends in that area.

What singleplayer mod should I go for after classic Doom 2?

So is Turok actually a good game?
I'm playing the recent version and it's not bad, but it doesn't seem special

i do like that it's a recreation, looks and plays real smooth

>>5012089
Depends, what kind of gameplay changes would you like to see?

>>5012089
GMOTA
High Noon Drifter
Combined Arms

>>5010292
Does the author of ProjectBabel hang around here?

I was wondering - is it possible to make ColourfulHell compatible with Babel? To make it so that the changes to the AI tactics+fear can apply to colourful enemies as well? Or would that be too much of a clusterfuck?

>>5012092
Kinda just wanna see how far the modding goes.

>>5012093
I'll check these.

>>5012097
Some of the colorful hell enemies like orange tier, red tier, black tier, and white tier already have custom AI for like dodging, firing more than 1 weapon, etc

>>5012061
>It feels like all the monster replacers are for doom iwads only
that's probably because doom's kinda got a positive feedback loop going with its modding
there isn't much for heretic, which means there really isn't much focus on heretic, which means no one makes anything for heretic, etc

What went wrong?

What are you guys' favorite mods to combine with ColourfulHell?

Ideally not super overpowered stuff but also not superfuckyou to the player.

Also are there any particular maps you like to pair with it or just about any works well?

>>5012102
The project scope is to make Vanilla monsters not feel helpless vs gameplay mods, while fixing some quirks in their base AI. I started in decorate because i wanted to make it Zandro compatible, but apparently I already fucked that up so I might just give up and convert it to Zscript as I go. There are a few experimental ideas that got thrown in like desperation attacks, so thats probably the main thing I was hoping to see if people like/hate.

>>5012110
People started getting too soft and then complained when playing it after being coddled so much

>>5012109
Exactly. I'm hoping to be some of the change I desire and work toward that, even if only a bit. I know a lot of modders have a soft spot for both Heretic and Hexen especially, but its just not productive or worth the extra work 90% of the time.

>>5012110
Nothing.
It gave us this gem, and for that, I'm forever grateful.

https://youtu.be/EUBUYWIZUpE

That guy is like the Michelangelo of Doom.

>>5012097
It's probably not possible considering they both make AI changes and add monsters. I'm guessing there would need to be a patch made by the babel guy

>>5012116
I usually like Trailblazer if I have all spawn tiers enabled, or Samsara if I have some of the higher ones disabled (namely Abyss.) I also like pairing it with Heretical Doom but thats mostly because I'm one of those assholes who plays their own shit :D

>>5012116
Honestly the only times I've completed a playthrough with Colorful Hell was when I played through two megawads with Trailblazer, but I would think if you play DRLA and are able to get the Colorful Hell monsters to drop the DRLA mods and weapons it would be a perfect pairing.

>>5012160
>two megawads
>Trailblazer
You'd end with, what, 8 million ammo per weapon?

So I'm trying out Combined Arms for the first time. I'm just curious - are you supposed to rely on your pistol very heavily when playing as the >>5010660
googly eyed guy?

I mean, you have infinite ammo with it and the alt-fire burst of damage is enough to take down hell knights in just a couple trigger pulls. It seems like it's truly formidable

Can you also harvest energy cells from enemies with the Nailgun indefinitely, incurring no ammo costs?

>>5012173
you know you can disable that and use normal backpack properties, right? If not, try it, it helps a lot with balance.

>>5012173
Yes

>>5012110
Nothing really, it actually went unusually smooth, the Casalis working their asses off for a couple of months and managing to actually make a tight and consistent product without problems. iD Software didn't demand any changes for Plutonia, like they did with TNT, they liked it and took it as it was (to the brother's relief, they were really on edge by that point).
For comparison, TNT had to have some levels truncated or even replaced, because they were too demanding for contemporary machines, Plutonia didn't go past any limits.

Dario's core idea was that Plutonia would consistently challenge him on Ultra-Violence, and thus that's why he tweaked the levels to be hard for him. In his own words, "I have no sympathy for people who complain to me that Plutonia is too hard on Ultra-Violence." the other difficulties exist for a reason.
I imagine Milo's goals and attitude towards Plutonia was much the same.
And I think that's good, the base game is generally quite easy, so it was nice to see a polished megawad that gave people more to try to best.
I also think that Plutonia has some distinct visuals that are quite cool, all the filthy old brick, brown cobblestone, moss clad walls, flowing blood, etc, etc. You can practically smell the way Plutonia looks, it's raw and disgusting, and I love it. It feels almost like a proto-Quake in that regard.

The only real flaw I think that can be weighed against Plutonia is that it has no original music, only featuring reused Doom tracks. Thankfully, these days we have the plutmidi pack.

>>5012183
Nah if I play those two mods I get a weird bug that makes the game skip to the next level at random, really annoying. I'd rather play legendoom with champions.

>>5012175
I like to turn off infinite ammo for the pistol. It gives the primary fire a reason to exist, and forces me to actually go and find a gun when I start a level.

>>5012175
Combined arms is always the googly-eyed guy.

and no, the pistol is really great but all of his guns are really good, try holding the shotgun altfire down.

>>5012207
Oh.
Woah.

>>5012206
Yeah this seems like a good idea, I'll try this. I was feeling a bit cheap

What are some examples of WADs you're supposed to play in prboom+ instead of GZDoom, even if you have a decent computer?

Is Sunlust one of them?

do you guys like replaying the original doom1/2 campaigns with mods, or do you only go to user-created maps/campaigns to play with mods? not sure how enjoyable the original games would be when modded given they never accounted for the player having so many more tools/the enemies being so potentially deadlier, etc

>>5012218
It was one of my complaints with the original incarnation of the mod. Limited ammo on the pistol is a lot more fair.

>>5012223
Frozen Time by Eternal
unplayable FPS in GZDoom, not even a toaster

>try Nightmare difficulty for the first time
>mfw
Oh man. I suck

>>5012306
Nightmare is a meme difficulty, UV is the balanced one to always choose

>>5012223
At least with my PC, Ancient Aliens goes to hell after a while on ZDoom-based source ports, so there's that (which is a shame, because playing it with Samsara is fun and hard as hell)

Is there a way to fix this cut off HUD in pr boom without going fullscreen?

>>5007846

You might like Samsara Monster Mixer if you enjoyed Samsara. I'm currently working on getting the Quake monsters added in, but all the rest of the monster sets from the other games are already included.

You could also go use ExMixer if you want to play against the Quake monsters now. Though I personally disagree with some of the choices made in regards to what replaces what.

>>5011394

Still going through the sprite offsets. So far I've done 1,696 out of 7,680 (doesn't include the Death Knight which I haven't added yet or whatever I end up replacing the Spider Mastermind with)

Got a ways to go but I'm getting it done at a decent pace.

>>5012306
Nightmare! is basically just for hardcore speedrunners.
Unless you enjoy that kind of thing, I wouldn't let it bother you.

Is there a character that is more blatantly overpowered than the others in Samsara? Or underpowered?

Or are they all roughly equally strong?

>not having Stealth+Fastmonsters for your nightmares

>>5012357
>Is there a character that is more blatantly overpowered than the others in Samsara?
Chex guy. He pretty much has all of the weapons and power of Doomguy, but he's immune to his own splash damage and an additional 20% defense

>Comment taken from a Samsara trailer on youtube
I didn't know I could get whiplash from a fucking youtube comment but I guess there's a first for everything.

>>5012379
90% of youtube comments are utterly worthless.

>>5012379

>>5012363
yeah but chex lacks the SSG

>>5012385
His take on the SSG is arguably just as busted if not moreso because it's a tighter cluster of projectiles.

this nightmare/stealth arachno remap looks like shit. wanted the implication of rusty legs/pinkish skin/yellow eyes but no luck.

>>5012393
Just do it in photoshop instead, as a .png

>>5012396
Anon. This is a lot of sprites.

>>5012398
Well, the hurt doesn't show. But the pain still grows.

>>5012125
>that squeeze through blue pillars into archvile jump into exit
And I thought grabbing megasphere in map06 of sunlust was impressive.

>>5012387
that does half as much damage you mong

>>5012398
Yeah, it is, I know, I still haven't finished the Arc-Vile. But you have to put in some effort to make a monster.

The rectangular marker tool, and layers, lets you do so much for just basic spriting.

>>5012403
guess i better get to work on manually recoloring each sprite.
least the nightmare caco translated well

>>5012436
i still gotta sprite good first, say i wonder if le tailor girl uses bases

Would anyone know where to get FGD files for Quake's expansion packs, for use with Trenchbroom? I looked around but only found dead links. And they don't come with Trenchbroom.

>>5012061
Well somebody is making Complex Heretic:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2WoHokHa_-Vj3XiPwjV87N1zyDQqF8ky

I decided to finally try legendoom + colorful hell and shit at map03 of AV I ran into some legendary imp motherfucker who slaughtered me since I didn't have near enough ammo to kill that fucker plus it kept summoning more imps. Eventually kited him to the entrance and left him there and decided to move on with life when I got a neat RL that gave me more health per item pickup, and a Legendary chainsaw that gave infinite ammo for 3 seconds (stacking) on picking up ammo... and those summoned imps dropped health and ammo. Rockets for all.

>>5012492
Does trench not recognize the expansion packs as separate things?

>>5012439
I assume he has a naked “Barbie Doll” spriteset that he draws arms, weapons, and clothes over

>>5012503
It does, the expansion-exclusive entities aren't in its Quake FGD.

>>5010814

>>5012506
You intrigued me with this shit, it really was difficult to find anything. This is the closest I’ve got
https://www.quakewiki.net/archives/worldcraft/files/files.shtm

>>5012519
keep in mind that this it says it’s for worldcraft, I don’t really remember much about compatibility

>>5012519
Thanks, but that ("QuakeFGD Pack 1.5") is one of the dead links of which I spoke.

>>5012524
Well fuck, I thought looking on the actual quake wikis would help too. wikia is bad, quakewiki has the FGDs for the base entities, but not for the others. I’d say look in the actual pak files themselves but I can’t even remember what software opens them.

>>5012379
samsara's code is bad enough already thanks

brightmap pls what are you doing
you should not be stretched out like that
wtf

>>5012387
it's also takes forever to reload and uses 4 shells per shot

Well they're already eagerly cramming in features from the Doom Eternal footage into D4D.

Dunno how they're going to square that name when it's no longer just Doom 4.

>>5012632
So is there a Doom 4-like mod that isn't getting bloated at this point?

>>5012636
D4T is a lot less bloaty or there's Xaser's Argent mod.

>>5011115
>Golden Carnage
This map is so overrated, just like Dark side.

>>5012636
I don't have any plans of adding any of that stuff to Doomslayer in GMOTA. Though I had to resist the urge to give the thunderbuss a hookshot.

>>5012668
It'd kind of be doubling features doing that, even if it's inverting what pulls what.

>>5012675
Plus I don't have a button available for a hookshot, so the thunderbuss is just gonna stay the way it is, and I doubt anyone will complain seeing as it just removes monsters from existence in a blast of lighting.

Hard work, but it's coming along

>>5012678
Yeah, you'd probably have to start adding more inventory item stuff or custom binds again.

I mean I kind of edited in me an unleasher button but fuck knows how many people even use the zoom / reload bindings, let alone weird arse ones.

>>5012705
>Yeah, you'd probably have to start adding more inventory item stuff or custom binds again.
And that's something I want to avoid, cus the older versions of GMOTA were a nightmare to navigate when it came to controls.

>>5012306
>>5012327
UV-fast is what should have been the nightmare difficulty

>>5012116
LegenDoomLite and Champions.

>>5012703

Duke Nukem?

>>5012505
you are correct

>>5012343
Is the idea of your monster mixer to include only the franchises, that had playable chararactes in the main Samsara mod?
As in
>Doom
>Heretic
>Hexen
>Chex Quest
>Wolfenstein 3D
>Duke Nukem 3D
>Quake
>Marathon

>>5012632
It should have been its own seperated mod, because it's not like Eternal is to Doom 4 what Doom 2 is to Doom 1

>>5012769
So far Eternal is just Doom 4 with more stuff in it, much like Doom 2.

Blastmaster's rocket is obnoxious to use. Its projectile is so fast, bounces at low heat, and deals normal rocket damage. Unless it's a massive open space, I'm more likely to just die while trying to use it. Doesn't help that I'm playing Congestion 1024 with this weapon set.

>>5012771
But it's going to have a lot more differences compared to the first two games

>>5012772
I should probably make it detonate against walls, and maybe slow it down a little.

>>5012775
I'm chalking this up to the mapset just being so claustrophobic to begin with. I like the concept of a weapon that doesn't become useful/is a detriment until you reach higher heat levels.

>>5012751
Pardon? I don't see the resemblance.

>>5012769
It at least should have been an upgrade in the credits store, instead it's a forced grenade replacement.

Also it's really stupid with the holo grenade, it "fire" the thing but the hologram drops at your feet.

>>5012772
>I'm playing Congestion 1024
You are a man of taste and integrity.

Imagine if together with Doom Eternal we would also get a new official MegaWAD? Or at least an episode.

>>5012790
The secret map was giving me some issues.

>>5012797
The last time they did this, they contracted it out to some company who fucked it up.

>>5012803
Who and when?

>>5012809
I think it was Nerve Software.

>>5012814
How did they fucked up?

>>5012803
I thought it wasn't bad. Better than the work they did on Duke3D World Tour.

>>5012405
That's a penis

>>5012868
Wait that's not a vanilla rocket launcher under there?

Disgusting.

>>5012751
>>5012785
>>5012703

ah well, back to work, circle some rooms of interest and I'll see what I can do.

>>5012763

Basically, yes. Though I am going to put out a Doom 64 addon that will act as an example on how to make your own custom monster sets.

I should also mention that SMM doesn't try to go for outright balance compared to the Doom monsters, the idea was to try and make all the monsters behave as accurately as possible to their source material (within engine limitations and my own ability). This means that some sets may not fit well with certain mapsets.

The most I do is try to place them in a slot that I feel best matches what they're replacing in terms of health and abilities.

>>5012913
Will some of the D64 monsters play differently?
Because i know there's two new monsters and the PE, LS's and Arachnos play differently.

>>5012915

Nightmare imps replace the chaingunners, Revenants behave like they did on the PSX version, and the Mother Demon replaces the Mastermind.

The Pain Elemental, Lost Soul, and Arachnotrons will behave as they did in D64.

what are the hottest wads of 2018 lads?

It's probably been covered in other editions but if you're getting no sprites in GZDoom, downgrade your AMD drivers to 18.5.1.

I'm back in action, oh yes.

>>5013425
There literally aren't any because outside of here, nobody pays attention to it, so nobody makes videos, so nobody pays attention to it.

Maybe he just needs the right person to get into his ear regarding DAKKA.

>>5013642
>>5013660
Let's be honest here, he'd just end up giving it shit because he isn't good enough to play it properly. Same thing has happened with other mods.

>>5013641
>>5013642
>>5013660
>>5013663
y'all real fuckin' bitter he hasn't covered a random no-name mod yet

>>5013663
I'd say Dakka is simpler and more idiot-friendly but it took him 15+ hours to find out he could punch in Trailblazer while being constantly nagged by his viewers to do it.

>>5013673
I ain't bitter, and DAKKA ain't no no-name mod. It's been around here for years and deserves some respect. I should bully the shit out of you.

>>5013679
try me, nerd, i'll turn you into a melon

>>5013674
it's not like dakka has a big ol "READ THIS!" in its options menu or anything
(but let's be real, who actually reads shit)

I wish there was some alternative for Icaus that actually pays attention to the mod they're playing and know better
Like, what he should be

>>5013686
Icarus would be fine if he spent more than a couple days with a mod. That's not enough time.
Go from doing it weekly to bi-weekly.

>>5013689
The issue isn't just his schedule, because after watching his MetaDoom/Doom 64 for Doom 2 walktrought for a while, i saw a part where he didn't pay attention to some pick ups he could have picked up, like ammo and health
I assume even his memory is kinda shitty

>>5013660
>Maybe he just needs the right person to get into his ear regarding DAKKA.
I tried once, even made sure to include that Ketchup patch (since it was back before Ijon reworked it to not use monster decorates) and he has to have everything with Ketchup.

That got exactly nowhere.

>>5013702
>he has to have everything with Ketchup
Jesus christ what a pleb

>>5013705
It can add something to the experience but you've really got to know when a mod uses monster decorates because unpatched it's going to fuck your shit up.

With his Psychic video he does that, he loses all of the power-based death animations and most of the monster dropping monies.(I think only the Lost Soul and Spectre drop them because Ketchup doesn't touch them).

>>5013723
>all this because someone wanted more red pixels on a video game
Worst part is Marks code being shit

>>5013742
This is more down to how decorate works, replacing actors instead of adding to them.

It's real simple to do a merged patch but with the amount of mod combinations, you really have to do that shit for yourself.

>>5013723
Protip: even the simplest forms of brutal doom can fuck shit up on untold levels of magnitude.

I started a Combined_Arms server on Zandy to see if my ports are still forwarded, could anyone check and see if it's there?

>>5013870
Fire Emblem is for fags and if you don't believe me check out /feg/ and you will see. Nintendofags and fags. Worst kind of people and I hate Lucina.

>>5013873
i've never played fire emblem before is it that bad?

>>5013901
If you're a fag you will like it.

>>5013873
this is really good discussion and relevant to doom

>>5013903
i'll just stick to doom then

>>5013873
>>5013903
good posts dude

>>5013873
>Actively admitting to browsing /feg/

At least actual FE/gg/ots are more subtle with their falseflagging.

>>5013904
What discussion? Nobody is talking about doom it's been dead in here for a while.

>>5013912
Spot the /feg/lord.

>>5013906
SNEED?

>>5013915
Nice (((argument))).

>>5013873
You know it's possible to play a game and not spend time on generals/threads for it, right?
I love Castlevania games, but I avoid threads about them like the fucking plague.

>>5013917
Formerly doom.

Nice /pol/ meme.

i would

Why don't keys disappear after I pick them up in Complex Doom?

>>5013956
multiplayer flags.

>>5013954
shake it baby

>>5013961
Shit, that makes me think, was complex doom ever intended to be played solo? It's pure RNG on whenever or not you survive the first few maps of a complex doom solo game. Perhaps legendaries were meant to be outnumbered, not outgunned?

The OG Doom series sure does have a lot ofreal bullshit moments....

>>5013954
what wad?

>Have a bad day
>Go home and fire up some stereotypical Metallica/Pantera/Maiden music
>Just turn the lights off and play some vanilla DOOM2

It's a good feel, guys.

>>5014008
>Metallica
lmao

>>5014010
Megadeth is good too.

>>5013984
took me a second, but I'm fuckin dying now that I seent it.

>>5014014
You hadn't seen that gif before? It's years old.

>>5013984
It only feels that way for me when playing with fast monsters on.

>I don't get why people complain so much about Lost Souls being annoying/cheap
>Play Mission 8 in DOOM 2 for the first time

Oh.
I get it now.

end of c kid

>>5014045
The only room in map08 with lost souls in it is optional.

>>5013542
I don't know how to map for unreal

>>5014050
>implying that means I wasn't gonna go through with it

Is there a HANK.wad yet?

Out of all of these I think the Adventures of Square is my favourite. I've spent my whole life freaking out all the squares but when I played that WAD, the square was me.

>>5014052
>>5014045
it's not the lost souls
it's the pain elementals

>>5011454
Very underrated post

>>5014074
This looks neat, what's it called?

Beginning area of my next Hexen 2 map is starting to come together.

>>5014119
Oh man, that looks AMAZING. Is it part of any larger mod or anything, or is it just a standalone map?

>>5014124
Thanks! This is going to be part of a hub. I previously posted a separate standalone map, here it is in case you didn't see: https://mega.nz/#!w09zDBCQ!KJLfhuNb9vY5p6jZLTrYbJY2CR3zIj6wKsYV4i2EJ64

>>5014134
I didn't see that map earlier. I'll check it out in a moment, thanks for the link!
Very curious to see how your maps and the hub will turn out - Hexen 2 is one of my favorite games so seeing new stuff come out for it is exciting. Oh, and let me know if you want some new music for the maps, I wouldn't mind contributing some tunes.

I managed to create a peculiar little bug when changing up the death state on the Spectre/Pinky.
They have two death death animations, the regular one, and then an altered one where their arm comes off and they slump forward.
I changed it a bit to make their bodies spawn buzzing flies intermittently, but I must have missed a number on the Spectre's state jumps, because he will randomly, and intermittently, replay his second death state (grunting and all), thus dislodging a new severed arm

So any time a Spectre does the second animation when killed, it will randomly, and frequently, spit out a new severed arm in a random direction, and these will just pile up around him.

>>5014156
That fuzzy pile of television static is all his right arms.

>>5013338
I'm going to argue the opposite considering I made it and it's very clear and concise. You're free to edit it to make it not look shit, otherwise I'll just keep bumblefucking around and not understanding at all.

Take this image for instance of the same room from a different angle. It's clear. It's concise. It tells you several things:
1: The blue key is in this room or is adjacent to it!
2: There is a secret here!
3: It presents a gradual curve towards the elevator.

I may swap the orange lights for another color. Orange is starting to be used for powercube indication.

>>5014160
More clear and concise marking in the adjacent rooms too: Small green light means you're far from the next progression point. Blue gizmos means "the key is in this room or an adjacent one" or "this object requires this key"
