Okay, so hard drives are disks on the inside.
Flash drives and solid state drives don't have to read disks, so they always load programs faster. It's why if you put Windows on a solid state drive, you get faster boot times. It's because it doesn't have to take the time to read a disk.

Can't say for certain, still got a lot of shit to do, need to finish up the last two knightmare mode monsters, which require some new sprites, player sprites for Kustam, including the shitty failed mimic and dark Kustam (That one's just a dark scaled sprite though) add his voicelines (I have them though, still need shitty mimic and dark lines), add picking up barrels for Kustam and Doomslayer, get shitty mimic doomslayer sprites, and dark doomslayer. Get Dark Blaz and shitty mimic blaz voicelines.
Then after that I'll need to figure out what's a good way to get the shitty mimics/dark clones to spawn within Knightmare mode. Then playtesting all of that crap.
I also need to add a few other things to knightmare mode but I want those to be a complete surprise, they're not as big as the other shit I've listed, thankfully
Sometimes I wonder if I bite off more than I can chew, but the GMOTA update after this will be a lot of smaller seeing as it'll just be adding Samson.

Small Kobold, gonna use throwing flasks, a crossbow and a retracting chainwhip. Big emphasis on brewing shit up on the fly for either extra ammo or HP. Though I say "brewing" it's just gonna be using a tool to fill up a meter and then triggering it at different levels of charge for different shit.
He'll also be able to drink any of the subweapon flasks he can get for other effects. Even if it hurts him a little, because he's a dumb Kobold and I think it's gonna be really funny for him to take a swig from a bottle of alchemist's fire and spew it out on monsters.

I'd argue the opposite, the high res textures look uncanny and out of place on the simple level geometry.
I mean, imagine taking Wolfenstein 3D and doing nothing with it but just making every sprite and texture 4K. Same 90 degree walls, same amount of frames and animation. It'd look really crass and hideous.

High resolution textures really call for high definition geometry.

I'm slogging my way through the first episode for the first time 15 years on Let's Rock difficulty and I am getting my shit pushed in. The shotgun blasts are pretty deadly and explosions just rip you to bits. I'm now dreading the game because i know there's a lot more enemy variety coming. I am playing the original dos version. Are there any obvious tips I am missing here? I feel like i am constantly low on ammo and getting ambushed at every corner.

If someone intends to make a vanilla or boom map, but only tests in GZDoom (even if they have "doom (strict)" or "boom (strict)" compatibility presets on), theres a good chance for the map to break in chocolate/vanilla and prboom+, due to GZDoom not being anywhere near accurate enough to vanilla/boom behavior.

And here's the essential classics, that everyone should play:
>Memento Mori 1 & 2
>Hell Revealed 1 & 2
>Scythe 1 & 2
>Requiem
>Alien Vendetta
>Mordeth

Here's some modern (post-2010) wads, that could be considered essential (imo):
>Almost everything that Skillsaw made (Vanguard, Lunatic, Valiant, Ancient Aliens)
>Back To Saturn X series
>Japanese Community Project
>Jenesis
>UAC Ultra
>Eviternity
>Dimension Of The Boomed
>Mayan Mishap
>Doom The Way id Did
>Sunlust

Don't start with gameplay mods, so you learn to appreciate the real gameplay and encounter design.

Vouching *strongly* for TNTR.
It sets out to replicate and pay homage to the style and feel of the classic TNT Evilution, which it mostly fails at, but the maps are very solid, and it kind of has its own style and atmosphere to distinguish itself (it even has a Bossbrain map that feels rather fresh and inventive, a prized rarity).

it's for the best. goldeneye is practically the tank controls argument of retro FPSes.

Darkplaces is an engine that "can run quake".
Its physics are slightly off which turns some tricks/secrets that require precise execution (also some jumpmaze maps) unbeatable.
It fucks up shadowmaps for some reason, resulting in wonky shadows with missing bits and pieces that have been randomly placed somewhere else nearby (very noticeable in some places of Arcane Dimensions).
Not nearly as well optimized as other Quake engines.

It's kinda like "GZDoom but for quake" in a sense, except for the fact that anything (except graphically) done for it can also be done for any other Quake engine, except the code for other engines is relatively well compatible unless it touches on limits of engine (only AD did that), while anything done for DP will be incompatible with anything else.
So while GZDoom has more positives than negatives for modders, DP is the opposite. It's only popular because "muh graphics" and it can be distributed around without being tied to Quake in any way.

The same thing, but with proper textures instead of dev textures?

Wouldn't work at all, as the way it works (for the rotating version in the webm and that shot, anyway) is the 24 'inside' faces are one entity and the outside 24 are another, and the inside entity is rigged it always draw in front of the outside due to Quakespasm's handling of multiple entities with alpha fields. That's not how the earlier image worked, but I guess it could still be kludged somehow.

It's overpowered "just right" beause of several reasons:
The core roles of the weapons are still the same
Weapon damage is not randomised, and is based on maximum theoretical damage output of the base weapon - so they are not "truly" overpowered, but instead just operating at their maximum capacity.
Instead Firerate is increased (and SSG still has to reload, but now shoots twice).
Also really nice unobtrusive HUD.

Ive been trying to beat all the maps in one go without quicksaves, and I'm currently stuck in Map 5. I dont know if it's just me being stubborn with my playstyle trying to do things too fast without actually having the mechanical skill to pull it off, or if the maps are intended to be grinded through by killing most enemies.

UV is intended as hardest, and Nightmare! was just a joke which turned out was suitable for advanced speedrunning pros to flex with. If you want to make UV hard, then that's proper.

I agree.

Dario Casali once said that he designed Plutonia to give him a hard time on Ultra-Violence, and that he would go back and redesign a level to make sure it consistently would.
He also said that he has no sympathy for people who complain that Plutonia is too hard on Ultra-Violence, and that maybe they should play it on Hurt Me Plenty, or go play TNT Evilution first, before trying playing Plutonia on Ultra-Violence.

People think that because the original game isn't actually very hard on the fourth skill setting, that this means that playing skill setting four is mandatory, when in fact, skill settings exist for a reason, and some authors WILL make use of them, even if some may not.

Can you re-implement that autoaiming behaviour Ethereal Crossbow has?
Basically put the side bolts autoaim on separate targets from Left/right toward the centre including full vertical aiming.
This makes the Crossbow be effective both against group of enemies and against a single target at medium range since all the bolts would autoaim on central target if there is none to the sides.
Sadly most mods that try to mimic heretic completely ignore that making the spread static, and therefore make crossbow less fun and effective.

>> No.5401331

>>5401267
Originally it was done to make it so monsters were completely separate from me mod, and so that it could be done in each IWAD and with other monster packs without needing to adjust anything in the monsters themselves. I could probably go back and requite it at this point to be based off of monsters, but I feel its a bit of a unique twist. If you find yourself over-picking up ammo, the Krater collects any excess mana into a pool and then can be used to refill all your ammo for each weapon. The brightness is actually something that broke in newer versions of gzdoom, Reikall put in some awesome work on his voxels and lighting them up but now the lights dont work on voxels anymore or something.

The hardest ones are pretty up there, Madman/Sorcerer/secret are all Nightmare equivalents with no respawning monsters, but also no infighting as well as above average aggressiveness. I usually played on Madman myself, and I guess I always considered it UV in all but enemy spawn numbers.

I know of that, what I mean is implementing side-bolt autoaiming even if autoaim is turned off in the options - this function does not work without it.
My idea was to make sidebolts home onto one target during one initial frame of their fire then fly straight.
However IDK how to implement target sorting from outside inwards, from one side to the other, since GZDoom homing functions sort from inward outwards.
If it is not done, then they will always home in on the target within sights first instead of homing onto the target to the sides first like original does, not to mention they dont aim vertically all that much.

Zombies will be where you get most of your ammo. There's a lot of ammo pick ups through out all of Doom1 and 2 but zombies, shotgunners, and chaingunners will be buffering your ammo count for your primary weapons heavily, very often.

You don't really have to kill anything to progress beyond a couple end boss segments here and there, and those typically max out your ammo/armor beforehand. Unless you're missing a lot you shouldn't be running out of ammo. I'd need to see where you're at and if you have any goofball mods on to give a more accurate assessment, but in both Doom 1 and 2 you should be able to comfortably kill every single monster in every single episode/level, outside of the beginning of Inferno where at least in the first level IIRC, you really need to skip a couple cacodemons and imps because all you have is the starting pistol and 50 rounds, but even in that shitty spot you can come back later and kill them after you've pushed through the level a bit.

Really the only time ammo and health is some outrageously precious resource is Thy Flesh Consumed, which if you're new to Doom (and you probably are) you shouldn't be attempting until you've accustomed yourself with the rest of Doom, and maybe even Doom 2, for experience. That entire episode and the beginning in particular is just a giant shit sandwich of balls to the wall difficulty and ammo/health management, even for long time players.

>>5401440
The only time I can think of where secrets can make or break you is TFC, on Ultra Violence, and that's really only if you intend to kill just about everything you meet.

Take a screen shot of where you're at in game, maybe of the map screen. You're either in way over your head in some shithole noob grinder like Inferno or TFC or you're way overthinking some minor area.

Regularly I'd click and hold the trigger from muscle memory but it wouldn't fire until i tapped again.

You have no need for chocolate doom ever. Crispy doom is fine but the low refresh rate is inexcusable. For me the best software source port is retro doom with 1.0 Gamma level and no retarded camera shaking or smoothing.

I never much enjoyed Quake. I sure completed it as kid, and played the mission packs too. It wasn't a bad game, but I never felt a reason to return. It felt like, it didn't age so well, when compared to Doom.

Recently I decided to try Arcane Dimensions. And holy fuck, this is so good. This raises Quake into same level Doom, and not anyhow lower. It expands variety of monsters that Quake so much needed. I always felt that the variety of monsters lacked when compared to Doom. Triple-barrel shotgun is a great weapon, and gives the much needed actually powerful shotgun weapon to Quake. And the level design itself, absolutely fantastic looking maps, that also play great. We finally get to explore the real medieval dimension in Quake, that the base game just was able to hint at with it's limitations. It feels almost like a real modernized sequel to Quake. Very enjoyable mod. I will propably be playing Quake as much as Doom in the future.

Never said, that Quake was bad. Just that I wasn't that much interested about it, but AD made me enjoy Quake again. Also AD's level design is not like Doom in anyway, but instead it's Quake x 10, taking what's great in Quake and improving it a lot. Maps are the best thing in AD, but new beastiary and weapons of course do make it even more great.

Quake's beastiary was quite limited, and even you have to agree with that. AD's additions to beastiary doesn't make it Doom (even though there is Lost Soul enemy), but further improves the Quake beastiary. The combat is still very much Quake (like it should), but it's just spiced up.

tl:dr AD improves Quake, to make it more Quake. Wouldn't be that interesting, if it just turned Quake into Doom. Don't misunderstand me purposely.

If thats what you're interested in, you could always make the side projectiles +SEEKERMISSILE and have them seek on their very first spawn frame with a nodelay and give it a fairly small angle/threshold, and then have their loop when flying not have any seeking. That would cause them to "autoaim" for the moment they are fired, and then fly in a straight direction afterwards. I actually ended up doing that with the hellstaff's Shock combo to make them less likely to completely miss everything. The only issue would be making them track separate targets from one another, though if you have them angle outward they will be more likely to end up getting different targets by default.

>>5401443
How the hell did I miss that? don't worry fren, I'll put that flag into the next version.

I would consider that personal preference. It's like detailing in Doom. Some people wait until the very end, some detail as they go along, others detail in chunks.

Not necessarily. Lighting plays a huge part in a fair number of Quake maps, and some people might block out a whole map ahead of time while others might fiddle about lighting up specific areas while they work to see how the lighting looks around a specific room or setpiece they're working on and if they should redesign one or the other.

I know there are some pretty slaughter maps but that's not my sort of gameplay. Swim With the Whales and such. Seems the prettier it is the harder it is. Diabolus Ex being an exception, that one's not too rough yet and looks nice. I like colorful maps. Void and Rainbow was neat, platforming sucked.

Don't feel bad about finding AA to be really hard, that's how it's supposed to be.

People say that purple girl looks like Widow Maker, but she reminds me more of the Witch Bride from Serious Sam 3.

Consider lowering difficulty. It's no shame in modern wads.

Hmm
With this it should be possible to make a borderland-esque mod where each weapon is comprised of several randomized parts that modify base properties of a gun. Has anyone tried this yet?
Can this be done with models? If so we could just rip them from Borderlands 2 wholesale

Can anybody give a fella who's new to mapping some advice on level design? I want to make sure my shit plays nice.

Check ZDoom forum, there was a special showcase tutorial map on how to do nearly everything.

Just gathered all 4 runes in Arcane Dimensions and went through ad_end + its secret. I feel drained, but goddamn, what a journey.

And to think the first time I played those maps I skimmed through easily more than half of their content since I was content on just making it to the end. ad_swampy in particular was insanely good. ad_mountain was a close second for me. Now that those + the rest of the original maps from ad_start are out of the way, I have all of the ad_chapters maps to tackle. I've only done ad_sepulcher once some time ago, and of course I only got like 10 of the 50 secrets on my first go.

At least half of the secrets in ad_sphincter are secrets-within-secrets and sometimes within those secrets. You will not find them all without looking up help. Have fun.

Full disclosure, I had to go look up help on all 4 of the rune maps, because I inevitably missed one key there, another tome there, another switch there, etc.

I managed to get about ~80% of the secrets on those on my own, but I'll fully admit the remaining ~20% was just completely out of my league. Some are kind of bullshit I have to say, like "shoot this specific wall with no hint that it's any different than the other walls" or "shoot this very hidden switch in the darkness on the roof of this corner of the room". I really don't know how people would find those other than accident or being extremely fucking thorough in scanning every room's roof, every room's ceiling, every room's benches, shooting every surface, etc.

Romero maps and 90s wads good, all new bad

Noclipping around at a speed of sound and looking for them after they finish the map in a regular way.

Romero maps in 90's were good because he was literally only guy who knew what he was doing when designing the maps.
But I really doubt his new maps would be as good as the stuff I've seen in the recent years from the community (BTSX, Eviternity)

Even then, if you noclip and notice a room you haven't been to, that still doesn't tell you the trigger/button for it or where that is, and sometimes those are hidden extremely well in AD

Just choose Hurt Me Plenty, mate. There is no shame in doing that. Using weapon mod just to make it easier, would seem much more like cheating to me than lowering the difficulty (in my opinion). You know, that the different difficulties are there for a reason? UV is supposed to be the hard difficulty, and hard is not for everyone. Some just want more relaxing ride. I play all modern wads with Hurt Me Plenty myself, but I see no shame in doing that.

The earlier version of Crucial Error was notorious for this- if you missed one grate, none of the chips spawned and there was no indication at all that there was a rune to be found. Guessing Sloggy Fuckbottom was the other map that gave you trouble, from mentioning the tomes?

Played this one a while back, it's pretty good.
Wish it was the whole full 32 levels, but desu it still does great in just 11.

I found Evolution Of The Wad to be really enlightening on the subject of mapping theory.

"spiele" means "game"
"kino" means "movie"
both are equally retarded forced memes

Calling game a "kino" like many on /vr/ seem to do is same as calling it "cinematic", which is opposite of what a retro game (or any game, really) should be. And they pretend that "kino" means "good" for some reason.

I did the muzzle flashes in doom tournament using overlays, so yeah, it can work with models. But I think you can only either have all layers be models or all layers be sprites (haven't really checked this tho)
