On top of old Smokey... All covered with grass and stuff... I got bit by a rhino... Because I didn't run fast enough.

Pime Taradox.

>>5448446
There isn't really a lot wrong with glory kills as done in doom 2016. They're fast and serve a gameplay purpose (neo-doomguy is a huge glass cannon and the maps are balanced around stunned enemies being piñatas)
They only become cancerous when tacked on to a game that has nothing to do with that shit, like doom 1993

>ID at GDC: "we have the full game running right here at the conference on Google's Stadia!"

>essentially 2014 all over again

>>5448505
>They only become cancerous when tacked on to a game that has nothing to do with that shit, like doom 1993
It'd work as a gameplay mod if you made it a core part of gameplay, like in Doom 4.

>>5448508
Yep. Just mess around with the spawn rates for stimpacks/medkits and it'd probably work
Space Pirate had a really good doom-fu system going, what ever became of that?

>>5448514
I think Marty shelved that.

>>5448484
Can somebody with Doom modding experience redpill me on the the extent of possible gameplay programming trickery in any of the source ports.

For example, if I were to implement tetris, pinball, text adventure inside of Doom, what could I use for that purpose and how complicated it would be? Are there any source ports that support more common scripting language?

I've seen All Out War mod few years ago and they strayed pretty far from the stock Doom logic, what did they use?

>>5448505
I'd say Doom 4 as a weird thing with health that isn't just the glory kills alone.
>Health/armor upgrades and maybe some of the runes
>Syphon grenade
>No more extra health items like the 1% bonuses or power ups except maybe Megahealth
>Armor is kinda like a second health bar
>>5448506
Did they confirmed they'd show the game only to people there like with QC14?
Because i thought they quit that.

>>5448524
these things are cancer
I hate when there's mini-games in a run&gun game like doom, they completely fucking bypass the emphasis of the game.

>>5448514
>>5448520
Space Pirate mods are cursed.
>>5448524
ACS or zscript would probably need to be involved..

>>5448531
>these things are cancer
>I hate when there's mini-games in a run&gun game like doom, they completely fucking bypass the emphasis of the game.
I'm not adding minigames to Doom, it's just an example of gameplay modification. I didn't want to use something vague.

>>5448531
You're saying people are in the wrong for daring to do whatever they want with the game? Since when does Doom NEED to be about what you want it to be and nothing else?

>>5448484
Pic related. I finally got Quakespasm to work. But still no Soundtrack.

first one for big ass

>>5448524
I've made tetris in ACS, and text adventures could be done in it too (but I wouldn't recommend it); a pinball game would probably be best done with zscript, because math in ACS is unbearably awful for anything beyond the simplest of tasks

just keep in mind that making doom do these things is an uphill battle; it's doable, but how worth it is it, really?

>>5448524
>>5448543
>>5448538
the best thing to do with programming capabilities is to code exceptional and iconic weapons and monsters into it

- Did you know that doom still has an AI problem and there currently (aside from bot behavior) is no way to improve the AI? Even porting over some AI from another game would be a massive benefit.
- Did you know some dude coded a really awesome homing missile launcher in the last couple years? It locked onto multiple targets and then fired multiple missiles that went after those targets individually. It seems from peeling apart the mod this dude did it almost entirely with decorate and ACS.
There's so much cool shit you could be using this platform to make, and potentially even use in your portfolio, however silly the application of it might seem.

If there was, hypothetically, a mod that made doomguy's sole weapons into a set of dual handguns, what weapon upgrades would you add to replace the other weapon spawns? I say this fully hypothetically and totally not as a stumped-ass coder stuck halfway through his project, I promise

>>5448524
ZScript if you want to make minigames or radically alter how the game plays on the fundamental level.
VooDoo Dolls on conveyor belts if you're an absolute madman building a Rube Goldberg Machine

>>5448531
Bitch.

>>5448561
That picture makes me think of prepackaged slices of cheese.

>>5448572
Full auto, fuller auto, explosive bullets, penetrating bullets, an ultimate upgrade that just turns them into the fucking robocop gun.

I just finished it and I'm not sure how I feel about it, what does /vr/ think?

>>5448572
i'd say with the ability to replace/mod each gun individually, probably
>triple barrel (shotgun replacement)
>sawn off shotgun (super shotty)
>extended clip (chainsaw?)
>higher ROF/full auto (chaingun)
>flamer (RL?)
>flaregun (RL?)
>lasgun (plasma)
>plasma grenades (BFG?)

>>5448590

>>5448568
This autism level looks unreachable. My goals are probably quite a bit simpler though.
>>5448581
>ZScript if you want to make minigames or radically alter how the game plays on the fundamental level.
Yes, thanks, I see that zScript is probably what I will have to deal with.
>VooDoo Dolls on conveyor belts if you're an absolute madman building a Rube Goldberg Machine
No clue what this could mean.
>>5448561
That sounds ambitious, I'd have prove myself first.
>>5448557
>just keep in mind that making doom do these things is an uphill battle; it's doable, but how worth it is it, really?
I know it's not, but I'm fascinated by Doom.

If anyone can link me some reading material about zScript, I'd be grateful.

>>5448524
You can do pretty much anything in ZScript, and if you want a "differnet game in Doom engine", like >>5448568 it'd be just as complicated as making such a game in any other non-specialised engine (since ZScript is basically C).
Doom-related stuff like a gameplay mod with items and powerups would be easier

All Out War however is made for Zandronum which does not have ZScript so a lot of doom-specific fuckery had to be involved and it's really complicated since you need some kind of workaround for pretty much everything.

>>5448590
i think you should go away.
stop asking people to tell you what to think. formulate your own god damn opinion, you fucking leech.

>>5448602
>If anyone can link me some reading material about zScript, I'd be grateful.
Good luck with that.

more big ass

>>5448608
If they unironically use the term "redpill", do NOT engage them. Humoring subhumans will only lead to ruin.

Voodoo doll scripting.

>>5448620
>gamer food

>>5448620
>Eating next to your computer
Why do you do this to yourself?

>>5448617
>>5448590
Its okay, I like the styling and the choices done with it. I dont like the slaughtermappy stuff at the end with the radsuits. The two maps prior to that are pretty nice.
Overall its a medium quality pack in modern day terms, I would've said medium-high if it was alot longer though. I really dont like these 7-10 map long projects... if you're going to go in you might as well go balls in for 20 maps.
Even though BTSX was 23-24 maps I still wanted more.

>>5448620
I eat normal human food instead

>>5448620
Today, it'll be a bastardized carbonara. On a rather hot day, this goes very nicely with an ice cold coke.

>>5448638
That shit looks vile.

>>5448640
So I can type code or draw while I'm chewing my food.

>>5448657
Doesn't your keyboard get filthy? Just thinking about getting bits of food on mine makes me blergh.

>>5448649
I too ingest normal human food and hydration cylinders, fellow human.

>>5448660

>>5448669
Thanks I hate it

>>5448660
I don't lean over my keyboard while doing it, obviously.
Nor do I type when I eat something with my bare hands.

>>5448669
WE TOLD YOU THE FIRST TIME

>>5448506
Yea im here thinking they are gonna release it publicly. im still not sure whats happening

I just snagged PrBoom+ to play Eviternity with and ive never used it before. So its spitting an error at me that it cant find an Iwad when ive got my wadsmoosh file right there. I even dragged it onto PrBoom and it wouldn't recognize it.
> I dont have iwads anymore, I just have doom_complete because it has all of that in it

>>5448669
how does one even touch it without throwing up

>>5448691
People are very good at getting used to some really messed up environments over time, whoever's used that keyboard probably doesn't even notice.

>meathook stuns imps, so you can hook them and then immediately glorykill them.
>new enemy in the first ten seconds, looks like an armored imp of some kind

There's probably more, but I don't have the time to rewatch this more than five times.

>>5448819
>>new way to switch weapons while having the weapon wheel up on controllers
What exactly was different?

>>5448823
There are button prompts on the weapon slots, so you can hit the weapon wheel button and hit another button to switch to that specific weapon rather than using the right stick to hover over to that weapon slot.

>>5448826
That's a nice solution for it.

Read the name of the ''armored imp'' and it's actually called a prowler, so I think they're bringing in the extra demons from Doom 2016s multiplayer over into the singleplayer of doom eternal.

Sweet.

>>5448709
Nice find. Couldn't give less of a fuck about this Google platform thing but eternal is looking neat, Doomguy has a deep fucking voice now

>>5448826
Those aren't button prompts, they're showing what weapon upgrade is currently equipped.

Edit: Space station is not orbiting Mars, it is orbiting Earth, because when they killed a zombie during the footage it said "Zombie Earth"

>>5448837
Oh okay, gotcha. I was wrong.

>>5448840
i wonder if it also has something to do with the bfg10k

>>5448845
there are green stains all over some of the structures edges that are floating around.

Maybe.

>>5448672

Other than that it looks great so long as the platforming isn't obnoxious

>>5448446
>Could somewhat explain why people like Terminus and Kegan have a more varied background than SgtMark to the point GMOTA might as well be 2 or more different mods together, considering how different the characters can be

Iunno. I just like making different playable characters feel significantly different from each other and Doom modding makes most of that easy. Thank Christ for brainlet friendly tools.
Speaking of GMOTA, I've been trying to think of a use for the red bullet gems for Blaz if he has full ammo, because I find myself only using the Blazter for clutch moments and that leaves bullet tier ammo littered on maps. It kinda sucks.

If anyone has any suggestions I'm listening, the only two things I got written down at the moment is bullet gems become health bonuses at full ammo, or a meter that gives you some kinda power up when you fill it up

>>5448937
Fuck. Didn't mean to quote that first one.

I love Cacodemons.

>>5448937
>Meter that fills up as you pick up ammo gems while your ammo is already full
>Once it's full you get 25 armor or something
Pretend blaz is fashioning armor out of the gems and gg

>>5448962

What's the advantage of doom builder compared to slade?

>>5449031
Slade's so bad for mapping that most people forget that it was it's original intended function.

>>5449031
all of them

>>5449031
SLADE isn't as much of a map editor these days as it is more for organizing and coding your WADs internally.

>>5449038
Thanks, so Slade is still handy for something?

>>5449053
Yes. It's good for managing your lumps and for writing your code.

>>5449053
Shit yes, it's what you use to look inside WAD files and edit data that isn't maps. If you were making a gameplay mod, you would use SLADE. Even if you don't really mod but want to take a look inside the contents and maybe extract sprites or textures, it's useful. Here, have some FIREBLU.

>>5449053
>>5449057
and for crashing, Slade is real good at crashing.

>>5449073
Haven't had that happen much at all.
I make sure to make copies of my project often, however.

>>5448709
really dig that they brought back the grunts. helps reinforce the idea that there's someone actually inside the suit instead of just a pair of disembodied hands and feet you're controlling. it felt weird and alien to have a full on mute protagonist. leave that shit to Gordon Freeman.

>>5448963
Armor's not a bad idea. I'll write that one down for consideration.

>>5449024
Well Blaz is plenty fast as is, a damage thing was what I was thinking, I wonder if I could use flash states to launch extra attacks, make something similar to what the ring of might does, but timed instead

I was going to say you don't have to be as I got mine cheap in January from a Go Calander store closing down after Christmas so I figured it wasn't expensive, but apparently it was made in 2016 and is going for an average of $34 now online, which is pretty pricey compared to the $17 it retailed for, and the $9 I paid for it. I just assumed it would be cheap still as I thought it was made in the past year.

If you still want to take the plunge it was made by USAopoly, might be able to find a better deal if you search around online.

tho if someone were to make it, I wouldnt object

>>5450052
Use the basic companion code everyone seem to be using (from Ralsei mod and Priestess mod), but replace sprites with Daina.
Make an inheriting Daina actor for every costume and just replace the sprite names with new ones.
Make a kill script that makes monsters drop random costumes from time to time.
Costumes are one-time use items that despawn old Daina and spawn new one in apropriate costume.

If feeling extra creative give each Costume apropriately different attacks or something, copypasted from same mod.


Personally i don't really like the gameplay of LTG all that much (I prefer DAKKA), but enjoy the fanservice part, so a companion mod that can be added on top of any other gameplay mod would be really appealing to me to the point of becoming an autoload.

nuDoom 2 is trying really hard to be old school. Your thoughts? Makes me think you could see something like it in a mod but not vanilla Doom.

Your attitude is cancer. Some people like to create and just try what they are able to do with Doom wad, and nobody is forcing you to play their creations. It's not like all the existing and upcoming vanilla/boom wads cease to exist, if somebody makes some fun little minigame wad to ZDoom.

>>5448602
>No clue what this could mean.

A voodoo script is a design pattern often featured in modern Doom mapping.

Doom does not naturally feature any sort of scripting language, and while advanced ports have implemented various languages, many Doom mappers have wanted to add more interactivity to their maps without being forced to tie their WAD to that particular source port. After the release of the Boom source port, mappers soon discovered that if they placed a voodoo doll on a sector with a scrolling floor, the voodoo doll could trigger linedefs on its own as it was scrolled along the floor.

Ingenious design of the scrolling floor, and removable obstacles placed in the way of the voodoo doll, could result in more complex behavior. Mappers soon also realized they could apply this trick to existing Doom-engine games that featured scrolling floors, such as Heretic, Hexen, and Strife.

Voodoo scripts can also be used, to a more limited extent, in vanilla Doom without using carrying sectors. This requires other means to force the doll to move horizontally, such as damage from an exploding barrel destroyed by a crusher. To prevent the player from noticing the sudden damage, further tricks must be employed, making them much harder to use than the conveyor-belt approach.

There was a huge revolving debate about it but basically what one guy said was
> "There's a 2:1 damage and health ratio between Doom and Quake"
And also some roleplay stuff he reasoned about how the shotgun shells in quake were shit, like 20 gauge, so even at a 2:1 ratio thats why they would still do less damage than doom shells.
IDK I can see an Ogre having 400 health in doom and a Shambler having 1200. It would take about as long to put them down with doom weapons I think.

Somebody else made a Vore for doom that was rendered very well for transition to sprites, and they made the firepods do 40 damage even though in quake they did 20. It felt about right.

All lighting, reflections, shadows, and effects utilise the “holy grail of computer graphics”, and Nvidia has opted for its own Nvidia VKRay extension to add complete ray tracing support down at the API level.

>doom wiki says zombiemen can be gibbed with the chainsaw
is this true

What the fuck is with the machinegun in Quake 2 and why does it fucking kick to the ceiling after firing a single bullet

>>5450838
after you kill the enforcers you gotta dispose of the flies so they don't go off and alarm the other enemies in the map

>>5450836
It would have to be a bug if it was true.
The chainsaw can only do a maximum of 20 points of damage, and if the zombieman only has 1 health left this would bring him to -19 and he would have to be at -20 or worse to be gibbed.

>>5450838
bare bones lightweight paratrooper weapon designed to use an intermediate cartridge (basically think of it as an MP-7 firing 7.62x39mm).
Its meant to give the player a weapon that can use bullets but not be all that useful.

I dont think it should be in the game.
Give me a Chaingun and then later on give me an item that upgrades it ("power drive motivator" etc) which gives it the higher fire rate.

>>5450712

My theory, now that I think about it, for them being such bullet sponges in Quake is that the PCs couldn't handle the Doom amount of enemies on screen at once so they decreased the numbers and increased the health.

>>5450836
no
max damage a chainsaw can do is 20, which can get a zombieman to -19, which isn't enough to gib him

>>5450849
>>5450856
why they lie to me

>>5450853
Not much of a theory as a fact they've outright admitted to many times over as part of slowing down the player to make the reduced level space and monster count last longer.

>>5450859
Because the community is a bunch of jerks and pretends to be nice.

>>5450859
to make you doubt everything

>>5450859
Which wiki?

>>5450853
Thats probably the case. Though that kind of issue made a return in D44M.
It reminds me of that scripted battle mechanic of some old console games where you fight 5 guys, then a few more guys pile in, then you're allowed to progress to the next screen down the street. In TMNT 2 there was a limit of I think 8 sprites per line on the screen.

The other reason might've been to put people on the edge of their seat. Monsters in quake dont have the same kinda flinch behavior as doom. So if you were used to that you could be stuck in a corner unloading on an ogre or fiend and you cant do anything but keep firing and the monster just tears into you and its like a trainwreck.
Kinda like being cornered by an HK or Baron in doom. And im guessing they wanted to exaggerate that kind of psychological horror.

berserk lasts full map
bfg is basically a multi-stage weapon which makes it arguably more balanced than the SSG

>>5448531
you are cancer

>>5450838
>>5450849
I dont want the single barrel shotgun in the game either, just have the SSG and give it a powerup that makes it great at close-medium.
My idea is make it fire like two blasts from the single barrel gun so its good at range. The upgrade would be a Spreader Choke which you clamp on the end of the gun, which makes it behave like the standard SSG does and do more damage.
Like doom you could select the item again to take the spreader choke off of it to get the ranged ability back.

An attempt at partial analysis of Quake1's E1M2: Castle of the Damned.

The level is shotgunstartable. On the previous level, E1M1, you have a chance of acquiring both SuperShotgun and NailGun. E1M2, however, gives you SuperShotgun relatively close to the beginning of the level, not only putting it on arguably main progression path, but also putting an unsourced spotlight on the ground under it (similar, but smaller, unsourced spotlights appear further on, designating points where nails eventually hit the walls at the nail trap - by the way, on Easy/Normal the nail trap only has two spitters, while on Hard, there are three spitters), seemingly indicating, that, yes, you are sure meant to pick up that SuperShotgun. There are also several nail boxes. By the end of the level, however, you realize, provided you shotgunstarted, you still don't have the NailGun. Indeed, unless I have missed something, this level doesn't contain it.
It giving you SuperShotgun by both putting it at a place you HAVE to pass in order to complete the level, AND putting it in an unsourced spotlight, thus indicating that you are MEANT to get it, also hints upon that since you didn't get the NailGun, you were NOT actually MEANT to get it on this level.

This immediately makes NailGun ammo boxes, appearing on the level, highly suspicious, and their placement - worth of a careful scrutiny.

The first nail box appears at the beginning of the level, under the bridge. There is a secret wall, nearby in the same pool.

The second nail box appears in the room with the silver key, immediately under the button, drawing a bridge to it. If, instead of crossing the bridge, you look down, past the bridge, you notice the third nail box, jumping down to collect it, you get to the lower, water-filled level, in a room, taking the only exit of which, immediately opens up a '"secret'" right under the contraption with the shootable button and yellow (150) armor you hopefully collected immediately before visiting...

>>5451062

>>5450815
dude, STILL TODAY there is no raw power to do real time raytracing

>>5451524
...the silver key room. Anyway, in the just opened secret, there is a fourth nail box and a teleporter. Taking a teleporter, you emerge on a ledge containing green armor from near the beginning of the game (opposite of the ledge where the SuperShotgun was). The teleporter pad is on one end of that ledge, the green armor is on the other end of that ledge. Coming to get the armor, you come face to face with the demon face indentation on the wall. Moreover, if you have collected the yellow armor immediately before visiting the silver key room, it is likely you still have more than 100 armor, meaning, green armor doesn't get collected. In any case, the demon face indentation is seemingly supposed to get your attention.

So, let's recall the sequence of events for the time being. Nail boxes two-three-four form a bread crumb trail, at the end of which you come face to face, with, well, demon face.

Okay. Where have you seen such demon faces already? Silver key room. Okay, backtrack. You collect the key, door opens, there is a sequence of the same demon face indentations on the walls, marking a pathway from the silver key toward the silver door. I don't currently remember a single other such indentation on the level, apart from the already mentioned (on a silver_key/silver_door pathway, and a stray one on the ledge with the green armor). This seemingly indicates that demon face indentations, where they appear, are supposed to mark the main progression path.

Now to the last part. You enter the silver door, shoot some enemies on your level and on the ledge above, then notice said ledge contains one (on Easy/Normal) or two (on Hard) nail boxes. You stand on the touchplate, door with the fiend opens, what also opens is access to two teleporters nearby, taking which makes you teleport to said ledge above, from which it is trivial to dispose not only of this fiend, but also of the two fiends that spawn after its death on Hard difficulty.

>>5451548
So, there. Nail box sequence -> stray demon face -> demon face sequence -> final nail box(es).

>>5451524
>>5451548
WTH why would someone start going at this like they're suddenly reciting shakespeare?

Quake 1 e1m2 is simply murder even if you did shotgun start. The only thing in that map remotely dangerous is the Scrags. The fiends could be a problem but if you use the quad damage correctly you butcher them just like the rest.
> mfw I use the one from the room with the knights, and even with the clockwork mechanism taking its time to open the door for the fiends ive still got just enough time to detonate them with my shotgun
All of the maps in Quake 1 can be finished with shotgun start. Some of them like Azure Agony are harder to do that way, but there's no math here.

Ive been kinda out of the loop when it comes to high end graphics. And dare I say this is a horrific thing to find out. I just took another blackpill today.
I thought this had been accomplished at least five years ago.

>>5451578
don't engage

>>5451586
have you seen the rtx games running with rtx enabled?, it tanks the performance hard
every time we approach to run games in 4k and 60 fps they add a new tanking technology, hairworks, hdr (not really), rtx, etc

/no/

>>5451578
In order to try to get the intent behind the level.

>>5451596
>actually wanting 4k
Such a number of pixels is too many. Seriously, that's computing power better spent somewhere else.

>>5451596
4k was a tanking technology

>>5451609
I don't speak for me, I have a 144 hz monitor
(I actually want a 240 one)

>>5451603
Get a whip instead.

>>5451578
And ep4 in particular absolutely isn't INTENDED to be shotgunstarted (barring E4M2), since the entire episode (disregarding E4M1) only gives you each weapon strictly once.

Whats with the hate for stuff that goes above 1080p resolution?

>>5451619
Sour grapes and fear of being ruined. I use a 1440p monitor and 1080p is just unacceptable.

>not having a trimonitor setup of 32:9 8k 1 ms 240 fps g-sync amoled monitors
fucking casuals

>>5451619
>>5451629
1440p is fine. 1080 is a little low but still workable. 4k goes beyond what the typical human eye can actually see from a comfortable viewing distance, and is unacceptable. Those useless pixels would be sucking up fps when they don't need to.

>>5451643

This is from an oldfag
And this is right up /vr/ alley too because its one of the best things about /vr style.

Basically put you're playing a game, and it is Not Real. And you should not be so engrossed in it that you cant tell the difference.
There should be something there as a reminder that you're playing a game, something just a little bit off.

You know what I miss about TV and Movies?
24 frames per second, and softened pixels at 480p resolution. It gave the movies a laid back romanticized look. You didnt need to see fine grit details, you focused on the actors. When there were display screens in the background you didnt pay attention to what was on them. If you try then its like those things are kinda dreamy, out of focus. Low resolution, but not low quality, its all about what its meant to convey.

When HDTVs showed up it all went to shit because the pixel precision was through the roof. Except when it wasnt, and then you had a high def screen that had fuzzy pixels which still had a very fine black line dividing them.
HDTV is SHIT

So to compensate, and I mean compensate like an aircraft carrier, everything has had to become excessively "Clear" and "Crisp" and run at much higher framerates (60 vs 24). And this makes things look much more *Realistic* but thats a BAD thing because now the suspension of disbelief is gone. Now you're not focused on the scene, you're focused on picking apart any errors or details in it.

>>5451617
Yeah and you can still shotgun the fuck out of it
> E4M2 seriously? There's an SSG sitting in the cage right in front of you when you pop in the level. To get past the shambler in the pit you use the ring of shadows and you should just about be able to get on the lift by the death knights by the time it runs out. And then you have an Invulnerability AND you can go down the hall for a Quad and wipe the floor with all these pricks.

And to continue
My preferred resolution for gaming isnt so much about the pixels as it is about the pixel density and screen size. Im talking like 17 inch at the most on a laptop screen.
I like my games with full-on Antialiasing running at probably 40ish fps range, at roughly 1024x600.
I want there to be some "grit" to it, I dont like smoothness, though I dont like lag either.
Used to be I would set fps on games to 30 and cap it there no matter how fast they were, but now its not quite enough. I would really love to have 24 fps back but I would need the same kind of CRT blending going on that I remember from back then. Its a lost technology.
If anything I think the big mistake was made all the way back when television came out. Setting the resolution to 648x484 instead of something larger, and then investing in the extra bandwidth at the time to make it work.
800x600 would have allowed for more data on the tv and a higher quality picture, and when the computer age happened regular TVs could have been used straight up for information display instead of needing specialized computer monitors. It could have carried as the standard for a long, long fucking time. And even when a (much) higher resolution would have been required, it could have been done with projectors or specialized big-screen-tvs at double the resolution for another 15 years.
Someone with some brains could've figured that eventually tv screens might need to hold more information on them.
There is also the mistake of not going with the Golden Ratio on the subject either. 16:10 pretty much. It could've Always been widescreen. Though now that I think about it there might've been some engineering hiccups with getting the CRT to scan that wide (who knows).

>>5451650
>Now you're not focused on the scene, you're focused on picking apart any errors or details in it.
You took an awful long time to get to a somewhat reasonable point.
It's still off though. It's not the resolution, it's the style. We've had high res monitors for a long time.
High res low poly looks fine imo.

>>5451667
i'm not looking for A way, i know i could just buy a random hdmi to vga/S-video adapter, i'm wondering what's the BEST way

maybe a 2nd video card with an s-video output, i don't know

>>5451669
hd crts were more expensive than hd lcds, also, the widescreen crts were prone to more failures because they were more complex, the magnetic field directing the electron beam were super sensitive so that it doesn't distort the image around the edges added to that these crts were shallower

>>5451646
>4k goes beyond what the typical human eye can actually see from a comfortable viewing distance, and is unacceptable
massive seethecope

But really that depends on the size of your monitor. The difference between a 1440p and 2160p monitor at 27 inches and above is night and day.

>>5451650
television and movies arent at 60 FPS, theyre still at 24-30. The TV always ran at 60Hz

>>5451669
Is this copypasta or are you just an idiot

>>5451690
What reasonable person plays on a 27 inch monitor?

>>5451650
> E4M2 seriously? There's an SSG sitting in the cage right in front of you when you pop in the level.
I meant, that E4M2 IS the only Petersen's level from ep4, that is seemingly INTENDED to be shotgunstarted. I didn't try to seriously analyze it, but after my last time playing beta3 version of it shotgunstarted. Well, it basically seemed, that if you waste shotgun ammo on the knights right in the beginning of the level, you are likely to run into mild ammo problems right about the pool, leading to shambler, provided you are thorough about killing stuff. So, the intended way of doing things seemed to me to use the megahealth, and to duke it out with knights, using axe, while hiding behind the, like, between a beam and a cage - in order to conserve the ammo. Or, well, first to duke it, then to use the megahealth. Anyway, if you have excess of shotgun ammo from the beginning, then it's no brainer, you just flatten everything, and then proceed further.
>Yeah and you can still shotgun the fuck out of it
Why would I want to? A tangent. Back when I was at school, I also played piano, 5 hours a day, every day, not really by my own volition, played it pretty good though. I find nothing all that amazing about finger dexterity. I get my kicks otherwise. End of a tangent.

>>5451717
Actually, no, 5 is an overestimation. 3, occasionally 4, is a bit more like it. It was also a goddamn long time ago, so
Anyway, whatever.

>>5451706
That depends on your desk setup and how close you can or want to sit to the monitor. 27 inch monitors were very popular for 1080p.

>They say capitalism is best because the competition makes people get inventive
The problem with capitalism in its current form is that globalisation and corporatisation make it much easier for companies to collude and completely avoid the competition, while crushing any smaller company that tries to compete in their niche.
When the capitalism was considered "the best thing ever" globalisation was not an issue and nobody could forsee that it would ever become what it is now.

The same problem as with any system, really - it only works as long as people are not egotistic douchbags.
And people in positions of power are mostly egotistic douchbags since that kind of people have less moral restraints when reaching for such a position.

>>5449141
you're essentially saying "fuck firearms".
hitscan is just a way to model really fast moving bullets while saving CPU. Having a projectile that moves as fast as a bullet probably isn't going to affect your game, unless you're sniping someone from a super long distance.

Its not like you're going to be dodging bullets anon - they move really fast.

Is there a way to change the scale of my M_DOOM graphic? Like is there a definition somewhere where I can scale it down to 80% size?

>>5451867
>Its not like you're going to be dodging bullets anon - they move really fast.

We already did the math a few threads ago:
If bullets were fastprojectiles moving at correct speeds (~1200 fps for pistols and shotgun, ~2000 for rifle), then Doomguy would be able to dodge most of them from 30-40m at the speed he goes.

>>5451902
Yeah but theyre in space so ballistics have to be much faster for Mars heavier gravity

>>5451903
Heavier gravity ->more power required to accelerate an object ->slower bullet speeds

>>5451867
Some projectiles in SS2 are bullshit too. Fuck grenades.

>>5451903
... mars' gravity is like a third of earth's

>>5451906
>>5451908
thats what I meant. Thus it'd be faster. Also of course Hell is a vacuum so no air resistance

>>5451903
Gravity has nothing to do with bullet speed. Mass does, but mass does not change. The trajectory and effective distance would be different (also because different/no atmosphere), but that has little bearing onto Doomguy's ability to dodge bullets.

>>5451902
This is such bullshit. Nobody dodges a rifle round.
Casual fucks are just buttblasted because they can't play for shit.
