Is there a mod like Brutal Doom but doesn't add any stupid fucking gimmicks. I want the nice gore and lighting systems but there's so much unnecessary shit in the mod. Iron sights, reloading, new stupid enemies, baroness of hell tits, cacocannons, like what the shit is this? I want the game to feel closer to vanilla

How do you people organize your Doom wads for large amounts of wads you want to multiload? Trying to kick my habit of just dragging what I want to use into random folders and running from a source port shortcut and try organizing things better

>>5270219
Mods like ketchup add in the excessive amount of gore and the likes, and I'm sure there are some other mods that give smoother lighting or whatever you seek

>>5270219
beautiful doom

>>5270219
>baroness of hell tits
what

>>5270238
He wants lady Barons and probably Knights too.
I do too, except not anime.

I like reloading.

>>5270249

>>5270272
The upper female is clearly superior to the lower female.

>>5270279
It's just a generic anime demon bitch

Duke Nukem 3D is better than the fucking bore called vanilla Doom

>>5270285
Exactly!
Much better than the lower one, who looks like a wild boar if it was a bulldyke.

>>5270293
Weeb anime human versions of demons are garbage. Your shit taste will go down in history for its legendary ass-suckage

>>5270272
Lower female version is garbage because demons don't wear underwear.

>>5270279
>>5270293
The insecurity is strong.

>>5270304
But the upper one is wearing underwear too

>>5270312
It's garbage by default and irredeemable

Why the fuck are you talking about female demon quality?
It doesn't matter. They're all demons. Just fucking shoot them.
Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus.

You stay the fuck out of this

>>5270324
I'd like that.

>>5270272
>stop making them actually attractive because muh contrarianism, it's too popular!

I don't understand, is this supposed to be making fun of the average weeb?

The 32x soundtrack is worse than I remember

>>5270272
I want the lower one to pin me down and hold hands with me as she quietly confesses she's never done anything like this before

>>5270301
Yeah, boohoo, I like actually attractive and cute women.

>>5270305
I'm insecure for not wanting to have sex with a deformed pig person?

>>5270517
Awful to talk of your mother like that but then again weebs gonna weeb.

>>5270520
She's your mother too, you idiot.

>>5270520
>>5270525

Glass houses.

We're not even 50 posts in, and this Doom thread is already a pile of monkeyfuck

Has anyone tried this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.StrayWire.UnDoomed

By escription it looks like Freedoom under the GZDoom with integrated OBLIGE

>>5270365
thats not the issue tho

its not that people want them less attractive, its that they are ascending to higher levels of fetish degeneracy

Lore speaking:
what would have been the reason why doom guy was in the tony hawk game?

>>5270557
He traveled back in time to show Tony how it's done

>>5270557
Literally none.

>>5270537

imagine the whole game is just punching out endless centaurs with one hand

>>5270557
Just relaxing after a long day of killing demons.

>>5270557
It doesn't.

>>5270557
A teleporter sent him there

>>5270272
>>5270279
>>5270285
There's a way to compromise here, folks. The upper one is born when someone fucks the lower one.

>>5270557
He needs to kill time between demon invasions. Since it's canon that he had a pet rabbit and seems fond of the action figures in Doom 4, I figure he just has a bunch of mundane hobbies like any other person.

>>5270219
Are you looking more for a:

>'Diet' Brutal Doom that cuts the bloat
BD Lite? Never tried it so I can't attest to its quality.
>An alternative to BD itself
BURL TUMD
>Or a general use gore mod with unaltered gameplay
Bolognese, Beautiful Doom, Universal Gibs.

>>5270620
These are all decent options. BD is fine every now and then but the bloat makes me sick after a few maps.

>>5270620
BDLite removes the bloat... And everything worthwile there was in BD along with it, leaving only the "Basic Weapon Mod" functionality hardly anyone wanted.

>>5270628
Fair enough. If we scratch that one off we're left with four more listed.

PB3.0 test build is fun and does not suffer much of its known performance issues with the maps of Epic2, would recommend.

>>5270620
You forgot new Nashgore which is pretty good. Also supports all blood colors.

>>5270632
my eyes want to to vomit from looking at that

>>5270639
Honestly a graphical mod like that, I think it's only going to work if you design a mapset around it. Have the right kinds of textures and effects in mind for it.

A Golf mod review

>>5270639
Ultimate Doomvisor is not part of PB, just to be clear.

>>5270286
Ok dokee.
I disagree a bit though. Duke has more fun environments and gimmicks, but the core gameplay is worse overall. Also suffers from some bugs that can be annoying time to time. Getting crushed to death in a hinged door really puts a damper on Duke's tough guy image.
All opinion though.

>>5270536
that's not what I'm reading here.

How would I make a hitscan gun which penetrates any monster except the ones with +DONTRIP, as well as reliably ensures 100% pain chance on impact?

>>5270675
d4d did that.

Okay, so I'm worried. I just learned that Hideous Destructor breaks DeHacked, if I load HD with an old map, it straight up acts as if DEHACKED lump didn't exist.

Are we turning into Brutal Doom? Don't laugh, think.
- The mod drastically changes the way the game plays
- There is a rapidly growing fanbase that insists it's the bestest mod ever because it's more 'immersive' and 'realistic' and that all people who complain are pussies who only whine because mod is too hard for them
- More and more fans of the mod insist that creators of other mods/maps add support for HD
- the mod appears to have no clear endgoal of being 'finished' and just piles on more and more features. So far it's fine, but it might result in feature creep down the line
- and now we even have bizarre code breaking basic mapping tricks, since HD breaks/disables Dehacked, and like 90% of maps from 90s/2000s use Dehacked.

Biggest difference is that Matthew is a chill dude, instead of an edgelord asshole like Mark, but still.

Are we the baddies? Okay, we're not, the fanbase is nowhere near at the level of bullshit of BD fanbase... Yet. It's definitely something to watch out for.

I'm worried guys, I love HD and I don't want this entire thing to turn to shit.

>>5270678
It has to be Decorate because my ungabunga brain is afraid of ZScript

>>5270679
Oh shut the FUCK up.

>>5270679
>DeHacked
uhhh gramps, it's about time you switched to more modern alternatives.

>>5270679
I think that you're neurotic and is thinking too hard about things.
The fact that HD breaks maps is not just a fact, it's one of the big disclaimers; it simply is not playable with all kinds of maps and you shouldn't expect it to be.

>>5270685
many maps use dehacked to bring in more variable decoration props.

>>5270685
DeHacked is still used for stuff which mostly stays within Vanilla/Boom constraints.

If DeHacked breaks, then there's numerous new and recent maps which will not work properly, but also a lot of old classics.

>>5270685
Except github page says that HD might work best with old maps. That's not exactly a non-issue.

>>5270683
>>5270686
Wel, I sure hope that I'm overthinking it.

>>5270679
Matt has the aura of a huge faggot, but he's not the brand of faggot that Mark is.
As for the mod itself, it was developed with vanilla map compatibility in mind, it's a total conversion of Doom's gameplay after all, maybe it's just an unfortunate bug/side effect that it breaks DeHacked, in that case you could just tell him.

>>5270696
>Matt has the aura of a huge faggot
He does?

>>5270698
I'm not going further into this since I like this thread and don't want to turn it into a shitflinging fest.
It's just my own impression of him.

>>5270702
Did you badger him for something in the ZDoom threads?

>>5270557
He needed the money

>>5270704
Nah, it's not that, I never talked to him.
I just formed this impression of him after reading enough of his posts.
I still like the mod, death of the author and all that.

>>5270679
Fix it.

>>5270327
>Doom guy calls his new Pokemon Daisy

>>5270627
The original mod was okay maybe seven years ago, but the scope of the project ever since has kind of spiraled out way too much for my tastes by it trying to cover more ground than it needs to with an ever-more holistic approach. That and there's so many gameplay mods now, and many of them are arguably more polished experiences.

>>5270634
I admittedly haven't played Doom in half a year so I forget about this kind of stuff

>>5270549
Because rule 54

>>5270489
>>5270497
Actually, this shitpost gave me an idea

>>5270620
I run Dakka with the monsters from Smooth Doom and the Smooth Ketchup edit for that, it gets me most of the way towards that sort of experience for me.
>>5270628
I can attest to this, it even does shit like remove altfires and move the mighty boot to the altfire.

It's done what a lot of people wanted but then went and removed stuff that didn't need removing so it's a grey mush uncanny valley of a mod.

What a disappointment.

>>5270734
Should happen in 2 hits instead of 3

>>5270734

>Actually, this shitpost gave me an idea

Or what if thats the actual Hexen III

>>5270750
it's based on damage, not hit count.

>>5270679
>people wanting authors to add support of HD
I don’t understand this. The ZDF page explicitly states that HD won’t be able to complete most maps. Not even being able to run them seems like an extension of that.

>>5270739
I hold that sperglord is still the best version of bd. If it still works with GZDoom anyway. Haven't played with it in over a year.

>>5270765
It, like most gameplay wads, should have it's own mapset.

stupid question, but whats a fun wad for high noon drifter I just like being a cowboy pls no bully anon

Are there any mods that replace the enemies in doom with the enemies in blood?

Man, it sure is fun to guess differences between descriptions on DoomWiki, ZDoom wiki actor class reference, and DoomBuilder. The same actor is described as "Burnt Tree", "Torched Tree" and "Gray Tree". Why is it so hard to agree on one naming standard?

>>5270791
I like playing Chex Quest with it to see all the spash screen changes

>>5270765
>>5270773
I absolutely agree, it's idiotic. If you really want a map to support HD, then open it in Doombuilder and plop in some extra cover yourself, how hard is it?

>>5270272
The upper female is inferior to the bottom female

>>5270286
Blood is better than vanilla doom and duke nukem 3d

>>5270549
Jesus Christ.
is there more of this?

>>5270767
last I played it enemies would die if a gore actor so much as nudged their hitboxes. it was super broken. shame because it was a legitimately good submod otherwise.

>>5270545
i just did, it's not really good

first of all HEY, WANT TO PLAY FORTNITE the game is really linear, and pretty much everything (medikits, weapons PLEASE DOWNLOAD FORTNITE and ammo) are enemy drops, said enemies CLASH OF SOMETHING have a range of about 4 steps, and a dash, but i still can't tell if it's an actual dash or just a collision glitch that sends them zipping in one direction. the rooms are all small and DOWNLOAD FORTNIGHT OF CLASHES kind of empty, no secrets and the only windows look more like an oversight. the game also only keeps 3 rooms loaded at a time apparently, barely any backtracking or exploration possible, it's all linear.
oh, and there's an arena mod too, it's kind of the same except in an arena and enemies drop coins you have to use to buy guns. (and in case you didn't notice, ads are annoying)

it's clearly not running a proper doom engine, you can look in 3d but the rocket explosions feel glitched if you're not on a flat plane, you can pick up medikits if you're already at 100% (wasting them), armor isn't mentioned anywhere and you can't see any map (not that you'd need to)

>>5270679
I'd be a hell of a lot more dismissive of this if I hadn't spent the last month having numerous HD fans getting bitchy at me for not going out of the way to support HD.
>>5270810
Most of the community is lazy as fuck, they won't even use Slade to change a line in a mod so it suits them better, they'd rather bitch until somebody else does it.

>>5270897
i mean, it plays ok (at least with nox) if you just want to shoot things, but then there's already games like that (freak labs or gloomy dungeons)

>>5270808
ive never played chex quest before and honestly what in the fresh hell is this

ty anon! ill give them a try once im done being a cowboy in space

Don't know if it deserves a mention in the OP or not, but there is a J2ME emulator for android, so you can actually play the mobile Doom RPG games on mobile. They are really fun to play portably.

Too bad this thing is shit.

Would've been nice to have GZDoom with integrated OBLIGE that generates maps as you go.

>>5270679
At least most of HD's gameplay is part of a concept and planned
Issue with BD is that a lot of things feel created by accident due to Mark's magic coding "skills"

>western shit

Eternal's designs still have bits from 2016's art style, probably for animations, gameplay and glory kills.
Another issue i had with Doom 4 is how it's easier to misremember what monsters looked like such as whether or not the soldiers even had eyes or if the Cyberdemon was either brown or blue.

or do you put on a vomit costume?

gonna repost from last thread because I'm an asshole:
anyone else have experience using gzdoom in linux? just installed it and fired up heretic for a quick test drive but my mouse felt really weird. I don't know how to accurately describe it, just sluggish and not very responsive. Maybe it's just because I haven't played in a while, but I can't ever recall any doom-engine game feeling like this.

I do appreciate Metadoo and always have, but it's best for WADs without a billion enemies. Metadoom feels good. I like it's depth. I also think the shotgun pickup sprite has a lovely shade of violet-blue

was that intended for police dogs?

Does anybody remember a YouTube channel where this guy uploaded these bizarre, retardedly-long (some were 6+ hours) videos of his strange custom maps? The guy claimed that god was talking to him directly and asking him to kill demons in DOOM, or something like that. One of the videos, if I recall correctly, was simply titled "Hell" and it showcased a small room with a funnel-like design. The room was separated into layers and each layer had a different demon on it, with explanations of their role in Hell in annotations. This is driving me crazy, I really want to find these videos again but I can't remember the name of the channel or the videos. Apologies if this kind of post isn't welcome here.

Every single gameplay mod breaks Dehacked. That's just how DECORATE/ZScript interacts with it. If a vanilla actor gets replaced, any Dehacked modifications made to that vanilla actor are null and void. The only gameplay mod I know that takes any measure against this is MetaDoom with its CVAR to disable its Nazi/Keen replacements, and it'll still overwrite any changes made to the regular weapons and enemies.

>>5270694
That was specifically about 1994 maps, before Dehacked even existed or was remotely widespread.

Have any of you lads suffered from motion sickness when trying DOOM or other FPS games?

A friend of mine that's new to videogames was excited to try DOOM out after playing some 2D-only platformers, but while she was playing E1M1 on crispy doom she had to stop because she felt like she was going to throw up and got all dizzy.

Any advice to help ease her into it?

I'm surprised id is using Doom 64 as a reference point of all things.

>>5271613
D'16 already referenced 64 as is.

RIP

>>5271626
The temple that was used to contain the Slayer was called the Blood Keep, which had a temple-like map of the same name in 64, and i'm fairly certain one part of level design in the campaign outright homages a section from 64, though I might be misremembering.

They said I wasn't good at finding secrets...

They were wrong!

>>5271650
>>creature that looks like a mother demon insude some orange tubes
>>some possible ambient ost influence?
>>something about the testaments implying doomguy choose to stay in hell
>>the reaper probably, since its main attack is shooting multiple projectiles
I think that's kinda pushing it.

w-what's that "extra life" system supposed to be? are we going back to wolf 3d mechanics?

>>5271676
My guess is that if you die, you'll respawn somewhere in the level like a checkpoint system, but keep the progress of the stage done. Run out of lives, I presume they have measures for just sending you back to the last checkpoint with all progress past it undone, maybe harder difficulties cause a map restart? I generally figure the lives would be kind of a necessity when the player-Demon invasions get involved so that invasions don't just awkwardly stop and players don't lose too much progress when it happens.

>>5271676
Probably the ability to resurrect in the same room, or at least at a checkpoint? And with all of the progress intact. So instead of reloading a save, you just resurrect.

>>5271535
The tilting and swaying in shit like Trailblazer makes me sick. Headbob in general is a universally bad design decision and should never be used in anything ever. Headbob doesn't affect you in real life because you can FEEL the bob as well as see it. When you see it in a game while sitting still it's contradictory and can cause motion sickness.

Is the Heretic expansion worth playing?

>>5271713

>>5271542

>>5271713
The tilting in Trailblazer is so shit I turn it off and forget it ever existed.

Dangerous map 31

>>5271717
Yes.

>>5271725
The game is getting stale though, you sure?

I wonder if the demons are cold in the snow

>>5271720
I know, thank you. I just wanted a quick rant about it.

>>5271525
>>5271526
Thanks.

>>5271720

and desu they're quite awful

>>5271257
Why must cacodemons be so cute?

>>5271319

>>5271734
They're used to the heat in Hell, so I guess it must feel pretty awful

Uh oh, the boss will be Mr Hands

>>5271734

>>5271795
Looks ike map 31 of Rebirth to me. It's a pretty nice wad, you should check it out.

>>5271803
Correct

>>5270549
>>5271052
I like the idea of an anthro daisy. could work as a zootopia spinoff.

>>5271726
I'd recommend you that one mod that changes the weapons to quake's but even with it the game's still not all that great. there's some severe ammo starvation it can cause, throwing the balance off kilter for a good chunk of the maps you play. but at least it spices up the combat, makes it a bit more fruitful and the guns a bit more satisfying. unfortunately I can't remember what it was called.

heretic was just fucking boring in my own experience anyways, so only keep at it if you would really really like to find out what Doom would be like if it had no oomph or kick to its combat whatsoever.

>>5271817
Why would you run Heretic with Quack guns?

>>5271857
>could work as a zootopia spinoff.
But then Diasy would be a foot tall

>>5271526
It's alright. Some anons just don't know that the internet is bigger than 4 sites.

>>5271535
Not so much motion sickness, but when I first started playing gzdoom, I couldn't mouselook upward for the longest time due to the stretch of the walls. Like it was going all isometric and sent my brain for a loop.

>>5270820
This guy is clearly not knowing what he is talking about.

>>5271535
My mom had that issue with first person games until she got really into Everquest. So maybe trying a port that renders in a more true 3D way (GZDoom) might help. A big issue for a lot of people is the framerate. It's why VR headsets are garbage unless they're 90hz at least. So I guess what I'm saying is Chocolate Doom is probably the worst port for someone with motion sickness until they acclimate to FPS games.

Is No Rest for the Living better or worse than Plutonia/TNT/Master Levels (or the actual D1 and D2 levels)?

uh oh

>>5271535
The FoV is likely too low, crank that shit up to about 80-100 degrees.

Rebirth does some decent urban environments

>>5271972
textures with demon faces are cool, speciall if they're other demons that didn't get them like the barons, archviles and icon of sin

I'm surprised none ya'll taken some gore mod code and made a Splatoon-inspired mod. Kill enemies with their own blood, turn into a blood squid, fun stuff like that.

>>5272036
Lack of a decent way to do floor decals makes going Splatoon a pain.

Blood as ammo and having some sort of blood-powered morph wouldn't be too hard though.

>>5272045
technically flat models like how the gore mods do it, but that shit can get intensive, even with Nash's magic optimization coding

>>5272063
Speaking of which, does software mode support flat, wall and/or roll sprites yet?

What is your favorite TASTEFUL gore mod?

I don't want anything completely silly, just a nice companion to say, Smooth Doom, in a vanilla playthrough. Not too flashy, but nice touches. How about Droplets maybe?

>>5272107
Honestly, Nashgore Vengeance Edition may be too flashy for some folks, but it's my favorite already.

Playing GMOTA, the Arcane Charge SSG replacement is explained as "power sword attacks return mana". But what exactly is mana? Blaz has like four different ammo types.

>>5272109
>Nashgore Vengeance Edition
Seen that, somehow it lacks impact and "OOOMP" when enemies explode. dunno, kinda weak

>>5272146
>>5272109
How about Bolognese?

>>5272117
I figured it was self explanatory with "return mana" but I guess I should specifically mention sword mana. It effectively gives you double the amount of powered sword strikes.

>>5270557
It was on the way to Far Far Away

>>5271881
I have the same problem with software mode, it feels lovecraftian

>>5272156
Oh, that's pretty damn good.

>>5271909
Milo Casali - and ONLY Milo Casali - seems to me to be a better mapper than both of NRftL's mappers.

>>5270791
I just did Strange Aeons with it and had a lot of fun. Might be a bit on the easy side on UV though since Basilissa is a free win against all the bosses. I couldn't find the BFG in E4 or E5 though.

>>5271037
I'm certain this is one of those things just to hold on to the IP rights or cheat taxes. Universal 1440 isnt really a genuine studio

Is there a mod for Blood 2 that makes it more enjoyable?

>>5272234
extra crispy.
by 'enjoyability' I mean it fixes the retarded fucking RNG damage

Is there a way to make DarkDoomZ or some other flashlight/darkness mod play nice with gore mods?

With every combination I've tried so far, flashlights and blood models/sprites on walls don't mix well at all. You get a spastic change of color in the blood just by moving the mouse slightly

>>5272234
You could set it on fire and huff the fumes.

But seriously, fuck Blood 2.

Can someone please post that "Ask me about DOOM" picture with the doomguy on Scumm Bar? I can't find it anywhere... Obviously not this pic related shit, the one with the beautiful helmet. Thank you very much in advance.

Samsara. That shit was such a mess for me to set up in gzdoom.

>HMP: 6 Demons
>UV: 29 Demons
>NM: 29 Demons

>>5272482
children and parents that have no idea what strafing is or do anything beyond arrow keys and tapping at ctrl

>>5272482
Honestly most people. The genre was really new at the time and a lot of people had trouble with doom around the time it came out. Myself included. Even on I’m to young to die it’s still fairly challenging for a novice. Doom is a hard game

>>5272482
people who never played a videogame before?

>>5272494
>>5272503
>>5272504
What I mean is, the enemy number distribution seems rather weird. You'd think the enemy numbers would scale more smoothly with each difficulty step, but they just sort of shoot up at UV and otherwise stay much the same in ITYTD, HNTR and HMP

>>5272482
there's only three sets of spawns when actually making the map, easy, medium, hard.

ITYTD and HNTR both use the easy spawns, and UV and NM share the hard spawns.

ITYTD and NM both double the values of pickups. NM makes the extra ammo necessary, because all enemies revive themselves after a minute or so.

>>5272512
The game gives less ammo, less health and has many other changes as you move up as well. The enemy spread is pretty understandable once you consider all factors. UV was also ridiculous on original hardware. And nightmare just destroyed your framerate, especially once shit started respawning and with the double speed flag. Any more enemies and it would’ve been a complete slideshow

>>5272512
Back then Ultra-Violence was sort of like, meant to be the uber hardcore "so you think you're bad, amigo?" kind of difficulty, one that should've been too difficult for most players to take on earnestly. Hurt Me Plenty was essentially the standard difficulty the game was intended for most players to go with.

Then people conquered Ultra-Violence way more easily than the devs expected and requested something harder, and Nightmare! got added in a patch as a joke difficulty. Nowadays M+KB setups and shooters being so prevalent have helped trivialize UV, so even despite the large jump in monsters it's held as the standard for the community except on the occasional case a mapper outright warns players to bump things down a notch because they went really hardcore on UV/NM.

>>5272512
The other thing is that enemy counts mean less than you might expect.

>>5272514
>>5272520
>>5272521
>>5272525
thank you for the insight guys, that makes more sense now

Tom Hall is so wacky for PICO-8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izv75vejpNI

What the fuck is this

>>5272547
looks to me like E1M1 with that Maps of Chaos thing and Project Brutality

>>5272525
i remember HNTR being more annoying that higher difficulties because less monsters = less drops, but yeah

and i'd sat fiddling with spawns is a much better difficulty tweak than just multiplying health/damage (not that it doesn't have its uses, but fuck you bethesda)

How can I record demos in GZDoom and have them play in the background of the menu, like the vanilla ones would play in the background of OG Doom/Chocolate/Crispy?

I know they'd be obsoleted when I upgrade to another version of GZDoom, but it's a neat detail I wish I could add, if at least manually.

>>5270734
you fixed hexen

>>5272572
fixen

>>5272569
the problem is it doesnt have compatibility with the original demos, or any other version of gzdoom. so youd have to record demos yourself or find some that were recorded on that specific version. if you still want to, make an autoexec.cfg file and add "playdemo (name of demo lump file)"

>>5272532
Just to add to this. The enemy count may not go up but zombies got replaced with imps or imps with chaingunners or demons in a lot of places. More hell barons. Generally the enemy placement and type got really creative

You know that Metadoom enemy that replaces the Pain Elemental? The one that shoots two skulls? I hate that guy

Whats your favourite Doom-themed 90's sitcom?

Oh no, I'm stuck in jail

>>5272624
Please no

>>5272482
Absolute newbs.
The original 3 episodes are quite easy though, so people should really be able to stage themselves up to HNTR without much difficulty.

>>5272393
I like that revenant. What mod?

Map 30! Can I do it?

>>5272796
Oh anon, you have not heard of Metadoom, the greatest Doom mod of our time!?

Mod confessions: Name a mod that is generally acccepted as good/received an award that you personally dislike
I must admit - i hate Hellbound and never finished it, made it only past Map 20 and grew way too bored of it to continue
I also disliked Strange Aeons - many levels feel too blocky and the gimmicks are annoying, especially when they repeat like that one "Enter same teleporter 3 times", followed by "enter same teleporter 4 times" in a few levels.

Why did Doom cause such as chimpout in the 90s?

How do I get inspirations for custom monsters?

>>5272938
figure out what you want the enemy to do

>>5272957
It vaporizes the moisture in its body to rapidly cool the air around it, flash freezing the player if he is near (evaporation steals heat from its surroundings)

>>5272961
That's a cool idea. Do you have an idea on how to make him?

>>5272938
Just steal sprites from other 90s fps or recolor some imps or something...just like 95% of all Doom custom monsters out there.

>>5272938
You just make a cacodemon and give it a bedroom eye

>>5272226
I actually rate both Casalis and both NRFTL mappers (Castle and Squibs) over Romero anyday. Castle's ROTS beats Romero's E1M8b any day of the week.

As for Casalis, Milo was more consistent, but Dario was capable of doing awesome as well. Map24 is a masterpiece for example.

In the end The Rebirth was a real good megawad!

And I liked Metadoom after all. I just don't like it for wads with huge amounts of enemies.

What are the absolute worst weapons in FPS games?

The laser mines in Douk are fucking useless. Also the proximity grenades in that Quake Expansion fucking sucks ass too. Wish you could remote detonate them or turn the weapon off

>>5270208
Playing strife now. FUCK THIS FUCKING ENEMY
They are literally the most annoying fps enemy ive ever scene

>btw your hitscan weapons are weak and strong weapons are slow and janky as fuck to use
>those black lines that looks like some bdsm uniform or some shit
I was having good time until this faggot shows up

>>5273215
Can you crouch? Most people tell everyone with hitscan to spam crouch to throw them off in these old games

>>5273230
That works in Blood, and in like no other shooter I can think of.

>>5273230
1) Strife has no crouching
2) Blood enemies were specifically coded to aim worse at a player that crouches and jumps while moving

Sometimes I can see people moving in the skyline in Unloved

>>5272860
Actually SiN. Level design is fucking goat and I absolutely love how high damaging those regular weapons are. Fisting the fuck out of sintek soldiers just never gets old.

I would love to use quantum destabilizer more but its a sin to put so little amount of ammos for energy weapons.

>>5272860
Going through Half Life for the first time. I finally discovered how to properly bind weapons to how I like them and that improved my enjoyment greatly.

>>5273230
Original Poster here. That only works in blood and every enemy in that game had specific tactics to fight against with. Weapon physics were perfect too. Which is fucking beautiful and what made that game so great.

Now look at strifes combat. Theres no tactic at all beside “move fast and shot lmao” because enemies are so simple in worst way. Almost every weapons are handled like dogshit except sigil. Not to say its a bad game. But it made me hate doom engine for first time in my whole life

>>5273204
Sticky bombs - shadow warrior
Normal dynamites, crowbar - RR
Fist with spike - strife
Pulse cannon - SiN
Noisemaker arrows - thief DP

And of course laser mines from half life

>>5273361
>he never learned how to use noisemaker arrows in thief

How come quake modding never caught on the way Doom wads did?

>>5273378
Doom requires you at most to draw a top-down layout. Mapping in actual 3D is much more difficult.

>>5273361
>Sticky bombs

>Pulse cannon
again, learn how to use it

>>5273294
Is there any way to play Dukematch nowadays?

>>5273342
Try out Weapons Of Rebellion sometime, it improves the weapons somewhat, and also consolidates the arsenal a bit.
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32780

Like instead of a separate grenade launcher (which is actually two separate weapons), it's instead a launcher you attach to the assault rifle.
The Mauler's "BFG" attack is now just a secondary attack on the regular Mauler.
Instead of having the crossbow be two weapons in one slot, one for shock bolts, one for poison bolts, you instead just select them with the one crossbow as a weapon. It also gets the ability to fire a multi salvo of shock bolts, meaning the shock bolts don't become horribly obsolete as soon as you get the assault rifle.

There's some stuff like that. I think it really helps make the combat smoother and more enjoyable. There's also a couple of other small things here and there, such as how robotic enemies can drop scrap electronics which you can sell for a little bit of money.
Strife is a really cool game that I admire, but I think it's also pretty flawed and rough around some of the edges, and I feel this mod makes it much more enjoyable.

>>5273267
i swear to god if you hid a chaingunner in there

I'm stuck in Unloved. I just finished a large arena battle in Living Room and the door at the front won't open. No idea how to progress.

>>5273383
I see. Are there any quakedads in here that can explain what it was like going from Doom to Quake? Did it blow people's minds, did it take time to adjust? I love Doom wads, but Quake's gameplay is just more satisfying that it can be hard to go back to vanilla Doom's gameplay.

>>5273371
Was there secret control scheme or something? I remember normal arrow did exactly the same thing except cheaper and easier.

I've mixed opinions about the guy.
On one side I like his philosophy of "find the girl in the creature", sexualize it but make it recognizable,which is something many artists just don't do and I appreciate that.
I've seen his regular art and he's pretty damn good but when it comes to the lewds he's a hit and miss. Some of the designs are fine but then there are moments where he had no idea what he's doing, his cacodemon girl for example is an absolute mess.

>>5273682

I wish Witchaven was better than it actually is. The artstyle is fucking great, with all the uncanny claymation creatures and goofy gothic architecture. It reminds me of the old Jim Henson fantasy movies like Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. This whole franchise is screaming for a remaster.

Just shot a soda cup in Duke Burger level and a atomic health popped out.

>>5273668
Dark seems to completely obscure certain doors and interactables on walls. I'd only play with it if I had a flashlight mod on or something. Doom actually makes dark things more visible as you walk closer to them, so that seems to make more sense gameplay wise if you're not using flashlights.

I don't know if i totally forgot about it or it's actually the first time i discover this, but i was re-playing Duke Life's a Beach just now and i found out that if you go underwater and some girl says something, her voice will sound a lot more heavy, just like a transsexual. Shit got me scared; but i bet it's the same with DN3D with basic aliens... Though when it's a human with the distorted voice it's paradoxically a lot more... Particular. And funny, to some degree; at least personally i think so.

>>5273774
No

>>5273204
Pretty much any remote-activated or proximity weapon was clearly made for MP and then thrown in SP afterwards. Also, the Holoduke is just pathetic on the devs' part. Literally only one enemy (the octabrain) was coded to react to it in any way, the other monsters ignore it completely.
>>5273215
I felt the same thing. They seem to shoot way too fast, without giving you enough time to hide behind cover. The game gets really tiring around the time they show up.

>>5273584

its ok, but towards the end they put in these shitty tedious puzzles where you have to align elevators so you can climb up to a higher part of the level. Stopped playing that shit right there.

>>5273378
Besides being more difficult to map for, unlike Doom you can't mix & match Quake mods. All of Quake's moddable code is in a single file, so you can only play one mod at a time.

Is there any chance of a Blood 3?

>>5273742
Uh-huh. Doesn't make me like what I don't like.

>>5273739
Sprite this.

The atmosphere in some of the maps is incredible. They really capture the feeling of being alone on a ship in space infested with evil. Then some of the maps are just shit. It's a mixed bag.

Despite its flaws I kind of enjoy playing this game. It really is goofy. Even the music is bizarre, like oftentimes the MIDI's will just end with random atonal keyboard bashing. I recommend using EGWhitchaven of WitchavenGDX to play the game since the original is so buggy.

Going from doom to quake was amazing. Full 3d environments, none of that weirdness when looking up and down like in doom was excellent. Seeing the difference between software renderer and 3d rendering (when you got your first 3d graphic card) was the tits. Gibs flying everywhere instead of a canned sprite animation. With doom and build engine games, I used the arrow keys to move, space to jump and ctrl to shoot. i think that the was the default back in those days. With Quake I learned to used the mouse and WASD, because if you didnt you got your ass kicked online. I used something called mpath mplayer to play quake online, it was like the precursor to steam. it was a pretty magical time, I couldn't wait to see what would come next in fps gaming.

Fair, but a large mouth in the stomach and piercings are an odd choice.
Still better than the lost soul in HDoom.

It only gets better from there.
The last maps are mediocre but it's a common thing in megawads.

Where is the button for the third secret level of hub level of Joy of Mapping 5? Can't find it, "behind heavy metal", what does this mean?

Stephan M. Weyte is getting up there in age. Better hurry up before he croaks or retires.
Nah. They still won't do it.

Which maps/episodes almost ruined your experience in a FPS? Something so bad that you want it to end ASAP.
Megawads and map packs also count.

There's a Discord matchmaker program to set it up easily, but basically there's only the OldMP builds of eDuke32 AFAIK

Doom 2 most of the time.

Doom 2.

>the other monsters ignore it completely
Strange, but for me in both Megaton edition and playing through EDuke enemies seem to bunch around it, which still helps, because you can crowd control them and then use explosive weapon.

I cannot wait for the next test build of PB so I can actually play JPCP with it without the best maps chugging like fuck
