I love doom.

What's a good setup for Oblige? Thinking of doing a DoomRLA run with it for maximum roguelike.

So why is Master Levels for Doom not worth playing?

>>5257620
>that pic

That's cool as fuck.

>>5257620
That gave me an idea.

Would you play a Doom light gun shooter, /vr/?

>>5257526
dude, a kid starts talking at 18 months

>>5257654
80% shit

>>5257821
Just like Doom 2.

>>5257824
Hello IGN

>>5257835
What?

>>5257835
Not him but I do think the level design in Doom 2 to be inferior.

>>5257654
it's really hit and miss
not really, it's miss and miss and a hit somewhere

>>5257860
That's /doom/'s general opinion yes, Doom 2 gets a lot of flak to the point that some people can't even finish the game because of how bad the levels get.

>>5257654
Play Plutonia instead

>>5257895

-> >>5254754

>>5257987
I'm that post, and also this one -> >>5256797
last night there was a storm and electricity went out until recently
well, I managed to get to map12 but I can't play today

I've never played Duke 3D, which version do I get?

>>5257996
what difficulty?

>>5258014
uv -fast

>>5258016
btw, I fucking hated the pain elementals in refueling base

>>5257654
>not very interesting to look at
>not very fun to explore
>combat is mostly dull
>a few of the maps are outright bad
>some of the maps look and feel too similar to each other
Basically you don't lose out on not playing them, check out Final Doom instead, better in every way.

>>5257821
Kinda this.

>>5257824
Doom 2 is only like ~30% shit.

>>5258000
The original .exe actually ran on Windows 7 I recall. Not sure about Windows 10.
I'd suggest Atomic Edition on EDuke32, for best experience.

World Tour is ok, if you can live with giving Bitchford money.

>>5257860
A lot, yeah, but there's still some good levels in there. Doom 2 isn't flat shit, it's just very uneven.

>>5258016
>>5258018
Props for playing on UVFast.

>>5252536
>fixed: Do not pass Sysex messages to Windows's GS Wavetable synth.
>This will totally refuse to play a MIDI if that happens.
>Duke Nukem's Alienz.mid, which did not play before works after this change.
Oh sweet! No longer have to hack around broken MIDIs using FluidSynth/Timidity. I mean it's a bit late now, but still.

>>5257654
Some maps are kinda neat and have interesting ideas, maybe see if you can select maps individually or something

>>5258097
Sweet, that's one of the best tracks of Duke Nukem!

>>5257521
I doubt they will, and if they do who cares. How many of them have made a map in 100 minutes?

>>5257658
Didn't they may a railed shooter for Doom 3? For phones or whatever. You could probably just modify that.

>>5258146
might as well be the only lost official doom game

>>5257627
I find Legendoom pairs nicely with Oblige and Slige levels.

>>5257620
Has Graf been kicked out of the GZDoom dev team?

>>5258173
Never gonna happen

QUAKE

Updated the MetaDoom thing, just to add the player setup putting the player in a "slayer" class.

>>5258173
>>5258207
He's in ultimate control and the ones below him are incredibly sycophantic towards him.

>>5257654
It is. There'a few lame/annoying maps, but overall it's solid, and certainly much higher quality than the average usermaps being released at the time.

>>5258234
Kinda wish that high horse of his would spontaneously combust. Again.

>>5252536
>add vanilla lightmode that behaves exactly as Doom's original light did
This "vanilla" mode is a lot darker than the actual software renderer for me.

>>5258234
Sounds familiar like 100% of community vets.

Ohhhh

>>5258441
mapset?

Why

>>5258450
To make you suffer

>>5258446
Slaughterfest 2012

>not filling all that empty space with monsters

This isn't ominous at all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuL-cREmCcs

"...And so the world went on without him, his screams muffled by time itself.
His trial inevitable; his failure unavoidable.
Screaming hard, deep into the abyss, it finally screamed back, and it was terrifying. It took him a century to realize that the only screams were his own.

And so his subordinate genetic spawn had been placed; the endless desire to have revenge on a reality long since forgetting them.

It was said, once, that one man stood alone against a legion of the darkest creatures in all existence; that he stayed within the bowels of the Incernethale to ensure no daemon ever rose again.

Funny, then, how we are able to recount the tale, when one man had salvaged the Legions of the Damned from extinction.

At least, until his own desire for death fulfilled, and reality aborted before it could ever come to fruition."

>>5258543
Ominous kinda goes away when you're super overpowered

>>5258545
And I'm a faggot who forgot to fix the sky

>>5258292
Finally someone gets it

>>5258565

>>5258471
Using GZDoom?
Won't that leg like hell?

>>5258430
no, s'arais, the entire community is not out to get you

>>5258545
Let's add "writer" to the list of things you are not good at.

>>5258173
No. Also as much as I dislike him, the last update of GZDoom added a bunch of nice features, such as a destructible environment function for UDMF format maps.

>>5258805
What the fuck does he have to do with this conversation?

>>5258837
i wonder

Why does Romero keep saying that Buckethead "Did the soundtrack" for SIGIL? All it is is a compilation of Buckethead tracks, none of them were actually made for the game.

>>5258889
Because at this day, Buckethead is known more than Romero

>>5258906
I don't know who that is, but I know Romero.

>>5258889
buckethead still did the soundtrack, and it's the soundtrack for sigil

you autistic shit

>>5258889
Buckethead made 1 original track and let him licence the rest

>>5258889
Because Romero's a talentless hack who consistently leeches off people with more talent

>>5258906
>Brutal Doom is awesomesauce
>who's this Romero guy
>t. Zoomer

>>5258923
You mean like the entirety of DOOM and his shit-tier design documents he didn't even follow?

>>5258919
Which could be ideal. Lord knows that if I got Alice Cooper doing the music for a videogame I was working on, there's a number of select tracks I'd love to put to use.

>>5258923
>>5258926
Are you still mad about Dai-Katana or what? For all his flaws and mistakes, all his contributions to the games he was part of when working at iD, were all worth it and fit perfectly.

>>5258936
say that with a straight face.

>>5258925
>>5258910
>what is context

>>5258936
Nah, I played DK with the fan patch and it was ok, for having the reputation it has I mean.
Romero's just shit like cliffy b
A literal ideas guy finding a way to mooch off a game he helped with 25 years ago.
There were many more noteworthy people at id.

>>5258974
>A literal ideas guy
Also a programmer and level developer whose maps are the best in Doom 1 and 2. Imagine Doom 1 and 2 with nothing but the shitty levels of Doom 2 if he wasn't at ID, makes me shudder just thinking about it.

>>5258974
I'd still place Romero above Tim Willits, who is still at id trying to take credit for shit he didn't do.

>>5258974
>A literal ideas guy
sure thing, carmack

The best way of playing Doom. The best graphics. The way it's meant to be played.

Our cool overhaul can be downloaded from this website: www.gzdoom-enhanced.com

>>5259037
finally someone has enhanced doom to modern standards.
cant believe no one has tried this b4

>>5258545
>>5258680
How do you constantly make your garbage maps even uglier than the last?

What if Eternal's Marauder was the guy behind Doomguy from Doom 1's cover?

At least Romero isn't a tranny

>>5259037
wow, good stuff. gonna play it all night!

>>5259070

True. He is mexican, though. Yikes.

>>5259037
Looks horrible

>>5259086
he's a native u dunce

>>5259037
next level shitposting

>>5259037
>www.gzdoom-enhanced.com

So vasyan now uses GZDoom brand to promote his SuPeR C00L HD T3xTuRe 3D m0del Pack? Nice try.

what the everloving fuck happened to this thread, seriously
when did 80% of the modders and mappers here get replaced with shitposters

>>5259120
Influx following the Doom Eternal reveal + Usual behaviors of /v/irgin colonizers.

The hipnotic Quake 1 expansion is hard as FUCK.

>Hurr we gave you practically no ammo now go fight those 15 enemies in these tiny little cramped hallways

Fuck off

>>5259120
Most modders and mappers have actual lives, anon. They are getting ready to spend a new year eve with someone.
Only no-life shitposters left here.

>>5259120
Holiday / infestation of drama from the two forums / infestation from other boards.

>>5259120
December is a chaotic month for a lot of people. Including myself.
I'll probably get back to regularly posting progress in January

>>5259127
IDK I played it recently on hard and had no such issues.

>>5259128
>>5259129
>>5259132
I hope you're right, because this is depressing

>>5259120
>>5259128
>>5259129
>>5259132

It's always been like that.
This is offtopic.
Please stop.

>>5259136
I mean, I've discussed this before but /vr/ is starting to get worse, and the doom threads are suffering as well.
Only way we're gonna fix it is if we keep making worthwhile posts and we get folks making good content. Doesn't just have to be mods or maps, just funny or enjoyable OC and reaction images is nice too.

>>5259120
We just did a speedmap thingy.
Probably just busy with Christmas though.

>>5259145
I also worry about stuff like the OP posts, news posts and anything to do with guides and links
I heard someone once posted a link with CP

>>5259162
if i was mad, i'd post in all caps. sensical right?

>>5259120
It's called the silly season for a reason.

>>5259037
But gzdoom is shit. It doesn't have a proper bumpmapping, only parallax. Also lighting sucks. Doom should be ported to Unity

>>5259120
It's because trash is immigrating due to sheer assmad.

>>5259192
>It doesn't have a proper bumpmapping, only parallax.
what in the everloving fuck are you talking about.

>>5259192
But unity sucks. Better Unreal Engine.

>>5259197
Displacement mapping. GZDoom doesn't have it, only fake parallax effect that is very easy to spot.

>>5259207
displacement mapping isn't called bump mapping
neither is parallax mapping.

>>5259037
>website starts downloading shit to my computer immediately and with no warning

that's the power of the slav botnet. you have yourself to blame

>>5259145

>>5259240
nah

>>5259242
Hey man. Just saying. A curse is a curse.

I enjoy Brutal Wolfenstein

>>5258945
I do, bitch nigga.

>>5258974
He was a programmer and level designer as well. On top of that, in 90's iD Software, EVERYONE was an ideas guy, that's why you see their personalities reflected in the game here and there.
You can see Romero's influences, you can see Adrian's influences, you can see Sandy's influences, hell, you can even see some of Tom's influences in Doom, in spite of him being fired early in development.
Well, short of John Carmack maybe, but he made the engines.

Romero, who made some of Doom's levels, deciding to release a new set of levels for the same game, doesn't strike me as anything particularly farfetched or desperate. Romero has a lot of flaws as a person, but in no way is he on Cliffy B's level.

>>5257620
How long would a Doom or Quake thread last on >>>/vg/? Respectively call either of them /dg/ or /qg/.

>>5259120
It ebbs and flows.
A couple of years back you had people convinced that /doom/ was completely dead because for most of the summer there'd only be a couple of posts a day.

>>5259126
Isn't it great how you can just pretend like /vr/ is just saintly and ANY unremarkable post MUST be attributed to your boogeyman?

>>5259258
It wouldn't at all, because of the much faster board speed, this has been discussed to death before.

>>5259240
>>5259249
I'm going with that other guy: Nah. I'm gonna keep posting my progress here because I still have hope for these threads. It's gotten pretty bad as of late but I think it can be turned around if we just put some effort forth and keep working on quality posts.

>>5259260
There's paranoia, sure, but then you also recognize when you start seeing outsiders come into a place, even when anonymous.

I don't think it's as bad as he says, but I also don't think it's unfounded.

>>5259132
>>5259129
>>5259126
This has been going on for more than a year though. Nearly all if not all /doom/ threads have shiposting in them. It's pretty much a staple of these threads to see a wall of posts with a big red [Deleted].

>>5259258
These threads die down to a crawl some days.
At the thread speeds fastest it would do okay. At it's average it would die easily.

>>5259267
That's because we do have one or two resident mental patients who would make the world better by killing themselves.

But hey, what can you do? Either they get like a three day ban for a giant shitposting tantrum, or they outright ban evade. When they're quiet, usually it's pretty nice in here.

>>5259263
Lost cause, man. But keep fighting a battle we already lost long ago. This guy gets it: >>5259260

>>5259150
I'd say he's right on the money, I have been much less busy with modding stuff because of Christmas, and I know for a fact that we have resident gremlins who literally have nothing else in their lives, even on Christmas.

It adds up.

>>5258936
Romero is a saint just for giving Warren Specter unlimited funding and full control to make Deus Ex

>>5259270
I'm not giving up. I've been here since /doom/'s early days.

>>5259270
Don't be such a fucking defeatist cuckold, god.

>>5259275
That too, yeah. Even if Dai-Katana was a blunder, we did get Anachronox as well as Thief out of it, so I think it was worth it.
It wouldn't have happened without Romero.

>>5259276
This. I was here since the start and I'm not fucking leaving or giving up ground.

>>5259276
Then you'd know IT ONLY GETS WORSE.

>>5259249
what fucking curse? the board isn't cursed, it's just been a dry spell because of some newfags, ex-pats, and dumbasses

holy shit you're being such a fucking beta about an anonymous vietnamese basket-weaving forum

>>5259283
all the more reason to do something about it. I owe a lot to these threads and I'm not keen on just letting them crumple up and die that easily. If you wanna give up, that's fine, there's plenty of other threads you can go lurk in.
Fuck you, I love doom and /doom/.

>>5259307
Yeah same here, I either didn't know about it or forgot the name entirely. I know about "community is falling" and that stuff but I'm not sure if I heard about it only gets worse.
My early sentiment stays though. I love these threads and I'll keep doing what I can to keep things not shit.

>>5259313
Other men have tried and have been demonized for it.

>>5258745
Running kind of good, actually
I mean, that could just be because my computer usually runs like garbage, but it seems decent!

>>5259286
Gatekeepers like this shit is worse than whatever threat you're complaining about. Yes, please post quality content, but when you start derailing threads with whining and doomsaying over a single shitpost, you're worse than what you want to fix.
The biggest threat to any general is turning into a /vg/-esque hugbox that becomes more about the thread and its participants than the subject of the general. A shitpost or two is fine in comparison.

>>5259507
So basically we should allow people like >>5258545
to run rampant?
No thanks.

i am finally putting in a spess mahroon suit

>>5259523
>tiny eyes on the helmet
yes good

>>5259517
As opposed to people like you constantly backseat moderating the thread, derailing it, and attempting to be the judge of what belongs here? Yes absolutely.
And you're absolutely retarded if you think that taking the bait and responding to shitposters will help anything.

>>5259530
yeh

>>5259517
At least that idiot's smart enough to keep his mouth shut for the most part now after that embarrassing attempt at trying to raid the thread

>>5259523
>>5259552
But do they move around?

>>5259551
You're genuinely saying that THEY are allowed to stay, now?
I give up. You can't redeem this place.

>>5259559

>>5259571
Who do you think you are, Kegan?

>>5259574

>>5259560
Just report. It's clear it's him samefagging.

>>5259523
>>5259552
This is cool.

>>5259507
I think you're right, but I also want you to know that "gatekeeping" is a really fucking faggot word.

>>5259523
>>5259552
Cute

>>5259507
So in other words, DON'T scream and flip out when that dude comes around?
Cause if we're cool with them now, maybe I can look at his creations without having my head ripped off by fellow anons.

>>5259560
He's not wrong. Have you people never seen the meme of the guy throwing birds bread and wondering why they don't leave? If you don't want trolls posting here, then ignore them and don't derail the entire thread every time one posts something.

dammit I just miss the drawfags and more active modding of 2014-ish

>>5259629
A-Alright anon. I'll give this guy a real shot and reviewing them objectively-speaking instead of yelling about his amateur hour maps without playing them.
What's he worked on most recently? Last I remember it was snow maps or something.

>>5259291
Hey, his fourth wife seems pretty cool.

Which WADs have cool custom ENDOOM screens?

>>5259291
How many of his wives left because they just couldn't deal with another fully-grown child in the household, as adorable and endearing as it likely was?

>>5259507
Never implied that. We just all need to make better posts and not act like fucking faggots.

I've never played Quake before until today. Is the hardest difficulty still supposed to be piss-easy?

Not that I mind since I'm taking a break from eating shit on Blood's "Extra Crispy", but shoot, weave, shoot, weave kind of lost its luster after the first two episodes.

>>5259313

doom community is fine, people are still making mods
people have said doom communities have been dying ever since the fucking 2000s, this is nothing new or interesting and here it is almost 2020

>>5259637
>>5259616
holy shit, seriously?
how fucking transparent can you be, s'arais? you whimper about "you'll say these posters are just me anyway" and then you post such passive-aggressive whiny bullshit in the third person and then whine about how the community is dying because you won't fucking man up
shut the fuck up, s'arais
i know you're going to reply to this with "i-i-i'm not s'arais! really!", so i'm giving you one opportunity to seriously try and listen instead of feeding your martyr complex further

if you want to improve the community, stop fucking doomcrying and work on making better things
bitching about how awful the community is isn't going to do anything

>>5259702
Multiple wads, actually, and I think we're long since overdue for a fifth or sixth installment.
Community's gathered a lot of people since the last one, both good, bad, and ugly screw you i'm not fixing the poster original because I'm too lazy, and JPEG artifacts add to the humor of how shitty an edit it is.

>>5259737
What even is that last one.

>>5259806
It's an incredibly shitty picture of our local imbecile that fits tuco better than most in here.

please don't just warn/ban for 'off topic' when i'm trying to respond to a dude.

>>5259810
Got ya.

>>5259614
Sorry, I don't know the connotation behind it. I'll just assume it's another word that tumblr or leddit or whatever has ruined. I can't think of a better description to get across what I think of that poster at the moment though.

>>5259815
No need to dumpster a word just because people you don't like use it.

>>5259810
Please don't compare him to Tuco, Tuco is charming.

>>5259815
It is pretty douchy to gatekeep, though, and you're fairly accurate with the usage all the same. The fact that somebody's having a tantie over being told not to backseat moderate just speaks all the same.

[Concern]

is it techkicaIly posible to put a bitconie miner into a doom bad
askling just out of curioussnesss

>>5259869
WHY?

>>5259869
I sure fucking hope not unless the wad itself was infected with a miner.

Also are you drunk?

In one corner we have: "him". We best not speak about that.
In the other, we have this guy: >>5259869
Who for some incomprehensible reason, wants to put a bitcoin miner into a .wad file.

>>5259869
No it isn't.

Installing Aleph One is such a pain in the ass, first you have to download all of the clients then put them in the parent engine folder for folder-play functionality then you get all the third party scenarios then you have to go to simplici7y then wade through there for four hours to find everything then once thats through when you install plugins they're enabled by default and I know AGENT_ORANGE theme is problematic with other ones so you flip a bunch of plugin switches manually in the text file then you have to configure the keybinds and graphics for every single game and then some texture packs were never released as plugins so you have to turn them into plugins yourself and if you have OCD you delete all of the .DS_Store's and if you ever want to switch between "classic" and "enhanced" well you have to reconfigure the entire game oh and that brings me to adding new music versions for M1, they'll get to you in a folder full of mp3s and organized in either the wrong order or alphabetically so then you have to convert them all to .ogg and then renumber them correctly. Every time you switch music, you name the playing folder "Music" and the other folder "New Music", there's no plugin for that but I wish there was. to change FOV you either learn Markup Languages which you probably already did for the XML or you're smart and get a 2dumb4u plugin on Simplici7y oh and fuck making maps Weland is a seven pointed suppository and also screw doing texture work shapefusion is such a bitch when it comes to exporting and importing
honestly save yourself the trouble and get a powermac

>>5259886
Can't tell if copypasta.

>>5259892
I'm very familiar with Aleph One, so I have a lot to say about it.

>>5259894
I didn't even have half the issues and I'm running W10.

>>5259903
well ofc out of the box it "just works" but if you want a highly tuned and refined experience it's alot of features that really should be automated but they're manual

>>5259919
Fair enough. I'm not picky so out-of-the-box works fine for me.

>>5259919
Fuck, I knew something seemed really iffy about the way it played.

Hey guys? The remastered fully 3D HD mod, just the pk3 file someone was sharing earlier, actually doesn't look that bad. I get that playing it with sprites and fairly close to original with some QoL is better but, all things considered, that guy spamming the HD remaster mod earlier wasn't so bad. It's worth checking out.

>>5260028
how's that fidelity clash going?

>>5260041
See I knew I'd sound like I'm that same guy shilling his product. Whatever. I downloaded his zip file from earlier, took out the .pk3 file, deleted the rest of it, and threw it into my Doom mods collection folder. Went to try it out today and I was impressed. The original is still better but it does what it claimed to do really well. that's all I was saying.

>>5260047
that's not a new thing, but a compilation of stuff everyone already saw
3D models will not be good until someone makes the ones with good animation (esp. death), baked-in lighting (since GZDoom cant do it on its own) and non-goofy textures. Doom gets away with a bit of goofyness and cartoonishness specifically because of its low fidelity sprites. Models can't do that, so they have to be exceptionally good to avoid looking goofy. So far no models are and the ones in the package are no exception.

Then there's the issue of HD textures applied to low-surface-count levels. Not to mention that the ones in the package make same mistake all prior tex packs do and increase scene contrast by bumping up quantity of minute details that mesh at longer distances. That never looks good.

>>5260059
Making walking/running look good with Doom's movement engine is going to be a enormous bitch for anyone to pull off.

>>5260059
I see... well, coming as someone who had only seen simple mods and megawads until now, I thought it looked cool. I'd never seen that before but good to know. The imp model looked kinda weird yeah.

Also the framerate goes to shit on my computer whenever I try to run it whereas Doom normally runs flawlessly.

>>5260059
the neural AI generated textures and monster sprites from the Doomworld thread look decent, helped by the fact that they receive touchingup post factum and are only x2 size of the original. They don't add new details but improve on the existing ones, and do not fuck up the scene contrast since they use same color ratios as originals

>>5258910
Same, actually.
Literally never heard about this "bucket" before Si666il.

>>5259880
While no Doom scripting language supports arbitrary file/network access AFAIK, I doubt any of them have been security audited.

320x200@70/2Hz ought to be enough for everyone.

A_FireCustomMissile is just A_FireProjectile with a swapped parameter, so yes

I painted an old gimped 3d print of a cacodemon sculpt I did a while back.

Help, I've been looking this up for a while and am getting some conflicting information about how to get the OST right in Quake II mission packs. Do I just put all 20 .ogg files in the 'baseq2' folder, or do I need to split them up and put some in a music folder in 'rogue' and 'xatrix' as well?

>>5260782
I just have them all in <quake 2>/music, and it works fine with yamagi

>>5258545
Newcomers really ought to stop picking UDMF as first choice for making their maps. People always fill their maps with the ugliest ZDoom effects as if that compensated for the poor design and gameplay

>>5260794
Alright, that's how it's set up in the Quake 2 download in the pastebin, which I used to get the music files. I am just paranoid about it playing the wrong music during levels and not realizing, since I haven't played the game before.

gameplay mod?

how do i make my big room less ugly

Question to any experienced doom mod maker on here.

What is the ideal resolution for gun sprites?

>>5260856
The entire room is one singular color.

>>5260859
320x200

>>5260856
Pillar props. Just don't place them so the player can easily hide behind them and cheese enemy projectiles.

>>5260856
you can dress up those areas with the 128 marble faces. either add a ceiling overhang or some vertical element (pillars, iron textures on either side etc)

if someone ever makes recreations of doom 4's levels for classic doom/gzdoom, i hope they're gameplay mod compatible

>>5260848
Doom Incarnate

>>5258231
I just noticed that the light amplification visors had green lenses, which reminded me of GZDoom's night vision mod, but it may somehow work as a reference to this.

Is CH really that great with DI?
Because i only ever mixed CH often with either Combined Arms (Before the big update) and TrailBlazer, with Samsara being just BJ in D64:Consolation Prize.

>>5260856
There's no variation in lighting aside from the dark bits on the fringes and the platform in the middle of the blood pool, you could also add some little bits of different color here and there

>>5260856
make everything overall darker, but keep the blood sector bright
make sectors under the hanging ceiling darker than the rest
add sprit edecorations like hanging and impaled corpses as well as skull piles, maybe an evil eye

>>5260960
Not him, but I feel like it does, since everything feels a little overpowered, especially when you upgrade something in DI, and CH gives you beefier enemies to lay fire down on instead of just tear through like wet paper.

Hi guys

What are some good maps to play Shut Up and Bleed on? Preferably with a fair amount of ammo pick ups? Hitting everything with a pipe is fun, but sometimes you need the shooty stuff, particularly when you are about to get swarmed with not enough

Not him but if he's making a vanilla map for possibly Boom stuff, isn't it hard to change skyboxes?

supplice is looking good
what mod are you waiting for in the upcoming year?

>>5261192
Not really. Absolute most Boom-compatible port support MBF extensions, and MBF introduced "sky transfer" lines that can turn any texture you want into a sky that would render just fine on Boom and ZDoom-based ports alike.

>>5261192
Literally just add the sky texture to your .wad and give it the right filename.

>>5261209
So, you can choose a skybox texture and use it to replace a vanilla one?
>>5261209
Samsara Monster addon from that anon, Doom 64-inator and the RPG stuff from Doomworld.

>>5260260
>>5260282
Am I also having a stroke

>>5261220
Yes, but you have to play PRBoom on "MBF compatibility mode". Strict Boom compatibility would not work. In GZDoom it will work fine.
I think its lines special 271 and 272, one for sky texture, another for flipped sky texture (use on floors to create "void" effect for instance)

>>5261232

PrBoom+ allowed MBF sky transfers to work in Boom compat because it doesn't actually affect compatibility otherwise. Original PrBoom.exe isn't really used by anymore anymore fwiw

>>5261232
prboom handles linedefs 271 and 272 at any boom complevel, since it's a purely visual effect and doesn't affect demo compatibility

>>5261557
All the ones he mentioned are harder than Plutonia.

random question about GZDOOM: when you use the "map" console command, does it always keep the difficulty of what you're currently on? Is there anyway to set the difficulty of the map you warp to?

I took some of your advice and changed a few things (but i've only been home a few minutes so I'm not done improving things), is this a step in the right direction?

>>5261568
Should keep the skill level. Typing "Skill" by it self will tell you the current skill level, with 3 being Ultra-Violence, unless a mod has added more Skill levels. If it does keep it between the Map command, then you should be able to set what the next map is by just typing Skill and then the Skill level you want.
Changemap acts as if you exited to that level through the map, so you keep your weapons and items.

>>5261587
I streamed most of the playthroughs and started uploading the Going Down run to Youtube. I need to finish parting it out so I can upload the rest sometime.

More importantly, with Hideous Destructor, there really aren't any rules, just do what you need to do to succeed. The monsters don't play fair, so neither should you, if you struggle to get a key, consider just bypassing the locked door in question, by crawling through a window, mounting a wall, or outright destroying the door.

Map sets built for Hideous Destructor. Is that a thing?
Some grand survival adventure made with tricky co-op in mind. Choices to be made, fancy traps, long ass encounters. All of that good stuff.
Nice dream.

>>5261627
>>5261590
Also read the manual in the .pk3 or zip file using Wordpad. It explains a lot. Also don't expect the game to give you any slack, play on Ugly until you have the hang of it.

Cheese if you have to, but HD is about surviving each level, not killing everything.

Make sure you figure out how to use the scanner in medkits because it is your best way of figuring out how badly you are injured.

Also Stimpacks are there to slow the bleeding and dull the pain/that shake you get when you get hit/hurt. This will give you a chance to save yourself with a medkit or bandages.

>>5261346
Crispy Doom is the best mix between "playing Doom in its original format" and "enjoying modern quality of life improvements" out there. It's the best option right now for playing Doom 1 and 2.

If you really want "the original experience," no matter what you do there's going to be some detail you're leaving out unless you spend a few hundred dollars to go get an x486 machine, a CRT monitor, a copy of Doom 1 on CD from God only knows where, and the actual MS DOS from ebay, I guess.

Chocolate Doom is just another emulation of this but if you're not going all the fucking way like I said above, Crispy Doom is best.

>>5261629
Not a lot. You can play really any map pack with it, but some are more suitable than others.
While Alien Vendetta is technically possible, you likely won't have a very fun time.

The original Doom episodes actually work pretty well as a soft introduction to Hideous Destructor.
E2M2 in particular is very well suited for its gameplay.

You die at the end of episode 1 and everything after that is actually hell

What is the point in buying crt monitor if I can just configure GZdoom like the old dos version and get crt shader filter? Chocolate or crispy don’t have crt filter, so there the blood looks too bright, sort of tomatoe pasta. With Gzdoom (software mode + crt filter) the blood looks properly (dark red), same like in old dos version, the way it was meant to look.

Revisiting all of Doom 1 and 2 through the HD lens was fun as all hell. In fact, all of episode 2 was my favorite, although Containment Area can easily sell you on the mod - unless you run into a pinky, maybe.

This is the map that sold me on it. Music was oerfect, lots of corners, fun shoot outs, a quick archie fight that doesn't ruin the map, and those hallways full of troopers are fun to mow down.

>>5261865
No. He kills himself because you're trying to give Doom a story.

>>5261665
There is no ambush and no chance of death in the console versions.

>>5261797
You'd have to find or make textures for it yourself. But it can be done.

>>5261797
It's doable, but you'd need the actual graphical assets, as said.
Duke Nukem 3D and Strife have a few which may or may not be suitable for your uses.
Shadow Warrior and Rise Of The Triad as well.

OpenGL detecting issue. I'll have to push an update :/ Try again and it might get through. Meanwhilst, there's a fixed launcher.exe to save you downloading it again here: https://spideroak.com/browse/share/Kroc/PortaDOOM/releases/

you can move them in boom format

To whoever heard my cry earlier about the Doom Quickstart Archive taking months to download, somebody started seeding and the speed jumped from 0.1kB/s, where it's been over the last few days, to 450kB/s.
Thanks, whoever is seeding.

so if i have it right, GZDOOM has has 0-4 in skills levels and it correlates perfectly? so "2" is Hurt My Plenty?

You're welcome to contribute features and bugfixes yourself instead of complaining.

Zzyzx did that one, not graf.

starting 2019 with a revelation
I always thought the shoulders in this image were tiny hands

Personally I find nothing wrong with chasm except for the guaranteed death pits at the end

This year I will play more WADs when they come out

And I will stop finding Daisy extremely hot

I have a question about Shadow Warrior.
Is the source port apparently available through Steam if you pay $2 worth getting or is SWP a good enough source port as it is?
I don't want to play it in DOSBox.

>>5262141
swredux uses the polymost renderer

>>5262167
So from what I can tell SWP and EDuke32 are also using the Polymost renderer, in which case it's not worth my money to buy a new source port. Great.

Also Shadow Warrior Redux was free to download from GOG or something by itself with no source port needed so that should cover Shadow Warrior. Thanks.

>>5262174
shadow warrior classic is free on gog

>>5262176
Yeah but I got a free download of Shadow Warrior Redux somewhere for free too just googling it and it works fine.

>>5262141
SWP is basically unplayable due to unavoidable save game corruptions. On top of various other issues that make it simply an inferior experience to SWR.
