On Ubuntu-based distros, how do you install multiple versions of GZDoom?

>>5531256
you only need the latest version
you always nee the latest version
gotta enjoy linux ;)

Would you like to see a sprite rip of Destiny 2 weapons? There are some interesting ones there like this one SMG with rotating spiral top magazine.

>>5531294
Alot of new games have interesting looking guns. I wouldn't touch a new bungie game with a ten foot pole but at least they hire good artists

>>5531154
>>5531149
What the fuck am I supposed to reply?
>"Kill yourself"
is a regular thing I see in the readme.txt files of actually decent mods.

>>5531294
if the source material is more interesting than 'umpteenth billionth generic assault rifle'

>>5531294
I'd like to see a sprite rip of my ass

>>5531302
> actually decent mods.
such as?

>>5531294
There are some weapons I've found in Quake mods that I'd love to see in Doom like a Mjolnir's Hammer that destroys everything around it when you smash it into the floor or rocket launchers that home in on your target. They're in plenty of other games too, I get that, I'm just saying it's an idea.

>>5531305
Can't remember which ones. I can name some decent Quake mods though. They are out there.

>>5531304
You want to see SgtMark's work?

>>5531294
honestly, something that mashes DooMRL: Arsenal and DooMRPG' with Destiny would be nice.

>>5531294
No

>>5531307
uh, ok

>>5531256
Install them using different prefixes. Fill your /opt with versioned subfolders or something idk.

>>5531378

>>5531461
Isn't this another vasyan mod? Why it's even listed in news?

New GZDoom devbuild seems works fine with mods in Vulkan mode. Also there's significant fps increase.

GMOTA when

Is there a way for a script to find enemies of same type clumped together? (preferably with possibility of counting zombie types as one, as well as barons+knights)

What I want is to make "smart spawner", that will not be random, but instead at the start of a level would find groups of same-typed enemies and
if there are more than 6 in close vicinity insert an elite version among them
if there are 10+ he will insert 2 elites + 1 officer,
and occasionlly will transform a group into a commander + his posse of officers and elites

>>5531574
I don’t know if it checks for specific monster types instead of any enemy, but I think Babel has something like that

>>5531554
With oku2v31.wad after teleporting, standing still waiting for the projectiles and god mode:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sx8jedk37R-1oPaFmemdZJuf8wRJ4pXN
repost of that link to 90s stock footage for creating 'splosion and fire sprites

>>5531597
IIRC Babel does it not at the start of a level, but by making pseudo-explosion from a monster when that monster notices you that tags nearby monsters of same type. Unfortunately, unsuitable for a replacer/spawner.

>>5531401
Problem is that the all versions configuration files are stored in ~/.configs/gzdoom, so shit will get messy jumping between versions. I'll need to put in some work to get a setup I'm happy with (whether it be through bash, containers, VM's etc.).

Hi friends just found this motion blur mod which looks pretty good
even if you haet motion blur its pretty impressive
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=103&t=62772

https://github.com/TheKins/MetaDoom
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=53010&start=1545#p1101168
MetaDoom's GitHub has been updated to have a somewhat "clean" code and a major change is the alt fire for the RL being more useful.
I think this is more focused on the new GZDoom so that could be a barrier for some but at least Kinsie seems to be improving on the mod.

>>5531693
Doom is now a modern indie game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTpBS9YwbSk

>>5531745
Does this use properly created normals/specs or again just the crinkly shrinkwrap-like ones? Can't tell from all the moblur.

Screenshot Saturday come in
I Just did this and oh boy it was fun!

>>5531762
>shrinkwrap-like ones

This

>>5531764
Now add directional light

Since kell.spawnpoint.org and quakemaps.nm.ru are completely dead sites now, so many classic Quake mods are lost.

I'm looking for a Quake mod called "Project: Monsterfree" to play. Does anyone have it or can help me find it?

>>5531782
uhhh great i didn't plan this part,
or at least where the light should come from

>>5531574
Hideous destructor has a setting that replaces archviles with other monsters when there are too many together. Look into that.

>>5531792
Top left or top right usually.

>>5531787
Oh shit I found it.

>>5531805
Here is an attempt i don't know if it worked

>>5531830
Keep refining it anon

>>5531830
And here is one with the barrel!

I should have said this but according to ShadowLink, his Samsara mod isn't updated as often because he sometimes just procrastinates at times.

>>5531680
Can't you set which config file to load using a flag? Then just alias everything.

>>5531830
>>5531836
what's whith the white noise on the left?

>>5531793
Thanks for the tip
I don't play HD so I didn't know about that

>>5531940
Those are nails, i am not realy good at put to perspective small things

>>5531945
I meant the one that looks like a compression artifact (but is part of PNG so its not)

>>5531952
i don't see it then

>>5531180
Kinsie is such a good developer. It's going to be sad the day they retire

>>5531256
why linux on the first place
linux is not suited for playin vydia

>>5531603

>>5531871
the fuck is this shit, discord?
stop following drama, makes more drama

>>5531179
>>5519289

>>5531982
Holy crap, yes.

>>5531902
>>5531680
The specific parameter is -config. Could just add it to a shell script for running each version.
>>5531982
Aw hell this is why I love seeing more people learn zscript.

>>5531973
I'm just posting an update on his process through a mod he's working on.

>>5530607
And what about blue/green fire torches?

>>5532057
Do you still have that script that makes textures to project dynamic lights? Can you share it? I need it for my map. It has too many ceiling lights and I'm too lazy to add them manually.

Does Zandronum support ZScript yet?

>>5532117
Give it 25-40 years.
How's GZDoom's c/s coming along?

>>5532117
>He is also bi.
fascinating

>>5531603
>>5531972
The Artbeats one in specific has alot of the standard explosion effects we know of.

that veteran doomgirl sure is intimidating

>>5531959
He could always dev his own Doom engine game. But he doesn't seem like the type to turn his hobby into work.
>>5531969
There's nothing inherent about Linux that makes it bad for games.

I love LT. Typhon but Bio touch is kind of shit if you get it on a level that relies on berserker packs.

I'm using the latest version of Smooth Doom on latest GZDoom and plasma rifle projectiles seem to have no impact puff? Is it just me?

Is there a mod based off the enemeis from Halo?
Like, an actual attempt to prove if Doomguy could beat the flood or whatever

>>5530219
There is clearly not enough jpeg. Need more jpeg.
>>5531256
Make a different users.

>>5532152
I dont think its been updated in awhile because a week or two ago I updated to it and I didnt notice an issue with plasma impacts. The author said they were away for awhile so im not expecting an update for a long time.

>>5532152
Latest Smooth Doom is bugged.

>>5532180
well shit
and I deleted the old version I had too

>>5532159
Sorta did this on Spacebattles forum and we figured out that doomguy would have less problems than master chief.
They have silly caveats there that have to be figured in but it made him kinda OP considering he could harvest the power cells out of plasma weapons to fuel his own plasma rifle and bfg.
And that the SSG actually uses 8 gauge shells not 12 gauge so he's still got plenty of ammo for that.

Idea is he's alot faster and able to avoid hits alot better, they also have overshield items and plenty of +100% health medikits so he'll be fine.

Ironically the actual fault was doomguy doesnt have the computer hardware necessary to get around and do alot of things that was necessary in the setting. Like doesnt have a computer chip to put cortana on it. And that makes a really big difference actually.
> battle was on halo installation 04
> master chief is dead in the containment facility because he fell down a shaft
> doomguy appears out of nowhere, sent through a portal to the command center where cortana is still in the computer

Well I shit I nearly forgot ABOUT SCREENSHOT SATURDAY. ALRIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS, LINE UP AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WEEK.

>>5531256
Just put the binaries in different folders. You just unpack the official .dep files with any archive tool and slap the bins where ever you want.

>>5532241
WUT the heck is that...?

>>5532262
it's a jackhammer
or a harpoon launcher or whatevar

That was actualy my attempt on giving some lighitng to it (and failing because i assumed that the material was mettalic and not ceramic)
>>5532281
Sure if you like to imagine that!
>>5532301
Probably not gonna happen, and also yholl and shivers are doing something else i don't think they are interested on doing a eviternity weaponset when they are already planned 3 already

Someone please reccommend a wad that is either as brutal or even more brutal than project brutality v2.

I can't go back to these wimpy vanilla-level weapons and monsters. So quiet. So timid.

>>5531556
I'm working on it. Still waiting on sprites. If the wait gets too long I'm gonna say fuck it and do them myself, though if it comes to that, don't expect release for another couple months.

>>5532327

And I already played the one with the dragon wearing a leather jacket with the quad-barrel shotgun... it was pretty badass, but the magic was gay, and I don't think it added any enemies

>>5532327
Theres a shitload of mods out there

>>5532327
Have you tried combining Trailblazer and Colorfull Hell?

i used to shit on plutonia but after playing it a bit more i realized that it's actually better than doom 2 wtf

Is anyone working on any maps they want tested/demoed?

>>5532396
Childhood is thinking that Plutonia is bullshit and too hard.

Adulthood is realizing that it's the best IWAD.

>>5532396
It's hard, and it plays some mean tricks on you, but there's a logic to it and it's built to be challenging yet playable.
It's also chock full of homages to original Doom and Doom 2 maps, so the Casalis had the benefit of hindsight.

>>5532367

Guns in trailblazer look cool... nice and loud and powerful... but I hate the vanilla enemies. They just kinda waddle around and every few seconds lob a softball at you that you can just casually walk around. Either that or they roll a dice to hit.

>>5532431
CH adds a lot of new enemies, mostly randomized and organized by color, even bosses.

>>5532450

Looks cool, thanks!

>>5532396
>>5532406
All this.
Also TNT would be okay except the gimmicky textures for the tape machines and the tnt logo. That actually fucked it over significantly despite not affecting the level design.

Im abit spoiled by modern wads but I keep thinking someone should go back through and make a remaster of Plutonia using Plutonia 2 style design. Same level design pretty much but with more details and added complexity to the levels.

Final Doom isnt really that hard. You can always stunlock the chaingun guys, and you get plenty of ammo from them. It only gets difficult when Archviles come into the mix

>>5532471
why are they bluishing
is doomguy into zoophilia?

>>5532105
I didn't even get to finish it. Conceptually it sure sounds nice, but the implementation is just too tedious.

>>5532471
It should since enemy based mods are usually rare.

this is such an awesome looking railgun/beam effect

>>5532703

>>5532540

animes blush for pretty much any reason, many of which are platonic

>>5532715
how

>>5532723
first effect is made of 3d model planes spawned by a fastprojectile. Second one is 3d model planes used as railgun particle actors. both have the built in wave shader applied, and randomized/increasing actor size respectively

>>5531179
Here's something to help with modding, more or less. It's a swiss army knife of sorts. Most notable function is the ability to check for unused sprites and sounds in a mod (with some minor limitations atm), but there's also frame generation for MODELDEF, and batch operations for GLDEFS. Use F1 while in the respective tab for more specific help. If it doesn't work at first, click somewhere on the current tool's interface (not tabs) and try again (or, alternatively, manually open the help file located in "The Manual" folder). Requires .NET Framework 4.6, which should come automatically with Windows 10.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YmX72uKm4gimyLQ8mvRwpCruXKv3oXRQ

So guys
What mod/engine was used in the QuakeCon matches where they had the quake two maps and weapons?

>>5532739
I didnt understand hardly any of that but since I cant work with 3d models at all it doesnt seem like something I can do.

>>5532745
http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/

>>5532739
How do you calculate the length of 3D model size so that they don't stick into each other creating unsightly seams?

>>5532756
This looks nothing like the screenshots, so no its not.

>>5532764
That's what the description of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fu5hUNbGM8 says.

>>5532772
then they're lying

>>5532745
Why is this image so low res?

>>5532759
the 3d model is 1 unit high (actually 1.2 due to pixel ratio bullshit) and points down. means you can set Y scale right in the actor to any length you want then pitch it +90 degrees. you set it to the same y scale as the railguns sparsity argument, then twiddle with tiny fractions until the seam is almost invisible.

>>5532752
using simple flat plane models really isn't hard anon.
>get blender
>select everything in the base file
>delete
>press spacebar, search "plane"
>click "add plane"
>tab into edit mode, spacebar search "unwrap"
>tab again, export as .obj and you got your plane model

>>5532546
It kind of works, though, at least. But I refuse to go and comb through every single texture in every iwad.

>>5532821
use the lump reader to get brightness values in everything that's in brightmaps.pk3, run through some galaxybrain algorithm and use that to spawn your lights

>>5532827
Spoken like a true non-programmer there, anon.

>>5532791

>>5532817
I stopped reading at "get blender"

>>5532231
Been working on this Boom compatible, it was supposed to take just a week but it might take 2 more at the rate things are going.

>>5532859
You should have read more because that looks super helpful.

>>5532859
Fine you big baby, here.

https://www98.zippyshare.com/v/wmN9l9G9/file.html

>>5532859
>>5532918
If that one doesn't work then try this. https://www14.zippyshare.com/v/kQMs7EXJ/file.html

There's a double-sided plane as well just in case GZDoom doesn't texture both sides of a plane.

>>5532231
trying out an idea for upgrading smooth doom, with making sprites at a higher resolution (I can use Scale 0.5 to keep them the same visual size)

So I can include some tweaked processing on them, some sharpening, a little bit of blurring but with mosaic used to keep it a fluidly pixelated product.

>>5532231
also for the Quake1 Projectiles selector im going to have the mancubus shoot lava bombs. Couldnt find a sprite version of the lava balls from quake so im using hexen based lava balls (which will detonate with the sparkly booming explosion quake has).
Options like this do affect gameplay but not much.

Other attacks for this will be
Quake1 Explosions + Projectiles:
Baron/HK - Spread of death knight bolts
Revenant - Firepod, and red colored non-seeking firepod
Caco - two green scrag slime balls
Aracnotron - orange blaster bolts
Imp - Slow quake 2 style blaster bolt with sparks

Apogee Explosions + Projectiles:
Baron/HK - Rise Triad Death Monk fireball
Revenant - Red Oscuro Seeker Orb / Death Monk Fireball which is red colored.
Mancubus - Large fireball from wall shooter traps
Caco - Oscuro Green Lightning Ball
Arachnotron - Same thing but smaller

Just got Final Doom, which megawad do I start first? As in which one is easier lol?

>>5533005
TNT is allegedly easier.

>>5533005
TNT is easier. Plutonia is also considered better so its also a save the best for last thing. I dont know anyone who plays Plutonia first

>>5533010
Good to know. Doom 2 is kinda easy for me on UV now since I played through it fucking shit loads of times. I want a challenge. But I have also heard how hard Plutonia is lol.

miss new booty

>>5532821
Can you share a script and template? This thing is very useful for mapping.

>>5533072
Fuck off vasyan.

>>5532831
Don't release it. It's vasyan who wants to put it in his shitty vaseline pack to ruin Doom even more. He pretends to be a mapper, but he's not. He should write his own zscript.

High FOV: Great peripheral vision, everything is tiny.
Low FOV: No peripheral vision, natural sizes.

What if there was a compromise?

It's yellow because Flux is on.

>>5533094
Everyone who plays anything other than vanilla/chocolate doom is vasyan.

report and filter

>>5533005
TNT is easier. It's mostly good, but the last third gets kinda wonky and sloppy, with some mediocre levels and a couple of outright bad ones.
I'd say to play the whole thing, but after Map 21 you should have seen the peaks of what it offers, and if you feel like "God, I can't take this anymore", then you wouldn't miss out on much if you just quit.
I think Map 22 and Map 25 are FUCKING awful (and really the only levels in TNT that are outright shit), but there's still some alright levels after those.

Plutonia is much harder, by design. Though many feels playing the original Doom and Doom 2 on UV is mandatory, because they're popularly considered way too easy otherwise, Plutonia was designed to be a bit of a ballbuster on UV, and will really demand you bring your A-Game. If you find it too bothersome, you could dial down the difficulty to HMP and it won't be nearly as difficult.
A lot of people would say that Plutonia has much more consistent quality in map design, and I can see why, but I think it doesn't have quite the atmosphere that TNT's new music does such a good job of providing, instead using a mix of existing Doom and Doom 2 tracks (though there's a pack out there which replaces Plutonia's music with new tracks).

>>5533095
what the fuck

Would make for a nice temporary power up effect

Then quit being a lazy zoomer troglodyte.

Or alternatively you can cancel your shit map, no-ones gonna give a fuck about it, unless your manipulating the Cacowards by making oldfart bait.

Is there an option to turn off death-exits? some wads and pk3s just don't go well together because someone wanted level 15 to death exit.

>>5531179
SOMEONE better fucking put HERETIC/HEXEN in that god damn OP before I fucking WRAITHVERGE MYSELF NIGGA

I played this one mod that had you go to a secret room when you died and you had to kill a certain number of bad guys in that room before you could go back. This only happened the first time you died though, but you could make it happen randomly if the player dies. Just thought it was a fun idea.

>>5533286
Really though, the Infographic doesn't have any Heretic, Hexen or Hexen 2 shit. I know there isn't a lot of custom stuff for the Heretic series but is there really not enough for it to be mentioned in the infographic?

>>5533194
easily solved with a single grenade
...though...

>>5533313
You mean the "so you wanna play Doom" pic? It's about Doom, not the Doom engine in general. I think there is plenty of content for a Heretic / Hexen infographic, but someone knowledgable would have to make it. Maybe me, if I get the time. As for Hexen 2, the amount of content is so small, just refer to this page of reviews: http://ettingrinder.youfailit.net/hexen2-addons.html

>>5533194
>>5533330
I think it was E3M6 or whatever the rune map was for that episode that had a bunch of them at the bottom of a pit. But a sweeper came along and knocked you in it if you got too close. But if you lob a bunch of grenades in there then most of them will be wiped and you can thunderbolt the rest. It is a very effective death trap otherwise though, with 4 switches to flip.

How do I view the textures of a game as images I can just slap into paint? Some of the old Doom Engine games don't have them easily accessible and I wanted to make something neat with the old textures.

Oh yeah, that's the thing, they're pretty easy to take out if you already know they're there and can get the drop on 'em with the GL. But if you walk into a room not expecting them? You're fucked.

Didn't one of the expansions also have recolored slimes that scatter clusterbomb pellets when you kill them, too?

>>5533456
Yeah, kinda. Just size him up so he's bigger than the player, and give him those crazy fast strides.

I'll say I'm not fully in love with the whole carapace thing they're doing with a lot of the demons, on some of them, like the Baron, it looks great, but it looks absolutely out of place on the Vile, and really kills what made his original aesthetic so perfect.

>>5533437
I don't know, it's just zooming in toward the center and blending the texcoords into the unzoomed image toward the edges.

>>5533486
Yes, the whole angry martian look is what made the vile so creepy, it made him seem truly alien and out of place even for literal demons. The carapace thing you mention is a bit intrusive on the DE designs, but at least it isn't the chitinous overload they did for 2016

>>5533486
Speaking of Arch-Viles, I found this hilarious fucking thing on Google Images:

Maybe arguable that it's not going to be harder than E4M1, but it's not arguable that pistol starting E4M2 is easier than playing continuous.

>>5533676
>>5533668
It's a give and take. Healthwise, you're almost guaranteed to be less than 100 going into M2. But you'll also be going into it with a shotgun and shells ready, possibly some armor, and maybe even a rocket launcher if you got the secret in M1. Not to mention that there's also two medpacks right at the start and a third medpack not too far away, and there's the soulsphere secret in the lava, meaning that's 50-175 health you can get back pretty quickly depending on your skill and map knowledge.

Don't see much of a point in it myself. Maybe because it's the kind of detail I wouldn't go to such lengths to embellish with extra sectors.

>>5533748
I do too, though I'd scale back the thickness on them, because they look weird thick like that.

>>5533765

>im a fucking idiot

Eviternity lags at places like the mass of trees at the start of MAP12 and overlooking the main field in MAP11 even though I'm running PRBoom in software. Is it just that resource heavy?

Eviternity has some pretty demanding maps in the final episode, too, thanks to a few views that show a large amount of geometry in the distance.

Havent updated Gzdoom since 3.51, only did because of a mod of course, so has something substantial changed or is it just stuff that plebs like me won't notice like

What kind of CPU and GPU do you have? My 6 year old PC (Core i5 3570+GTX660) handled Eviternity on GZDoom +DAKKA (along with ambient occlusion, bloom and x2 MSAA) just fine with ~140 fps., and at about 300 fps in PRBoom+ (through GLBoom)

Here's your map 26 anyway. It does not go below 50 on GZD or 70 on PRBoom.
For the most part staying at 100 in GZD and 130+ on PRB

>>5534129
Eviternity has some decorate and ACS based effects that only work in ports that support them. There's rain, snow and portal particles.
Snow is done through sprites instead of particles so it's about 4 times as demanding as it would've been as a particle spawner. Though IIRC it was done that way because particles can not be spawned simultaneously across the height range so when player walks around in a large open area or walks outside of building, he would see the snow suddenly beginning to spawn instead of there already being snow in the air. Only the closaest spawners to the player are enabled so it does not spawn in the distance

Latest devbuild (gzdoom-x64-g4.2pre-2-g6d1a85af3) - installed just now in different dir, copied config.
Shows 52 fps in OpenGL, but also 61-63 fps in Vulkan at that same moment
So I guess newest GZD+Vulkan indeed has better performance

>>5534285

Do you mean lazagna sauce?

How easy is to convert original (or smooth Doom) 2D weapons sprites into fake flat 3D models? I want to put PBR on weapons, but GZDoom doesn't support PBR on sprites.

>>5534308
Hm, what you want to do is first stick all the weapons on a same size canvas, like 320*200 with transparency except for where the gun is drawn. Then it's a very easy matter to apply them to flat planes. If you don't use a same-size canvas, you'll have to individually tweak modeldef scale and offsets per gun and you'll go insane.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YmX72uKm4gimyLQ8mvRwpCruXKv3oXRQ
Use this tool to generate the modeldef definitions with texture changes automatically. Go to modeldef generator tab and press F1 for documentation.

>>5534308
It would be too tedious. Wait until graf will add pbr/specular support for sprites.

freedoom should just ship with DTWID

>>5534327
He won't do it. PBR have been around for quite a long time and there's still no support for sprites. That's why nobody has made a proper PBR/specular overhaul, but we have tons of vasyan 3D model crappy "remakes" full of vaseline.

>>5532105
You gotta ask in other places, I suppose.

>>5532145
Just fist it regularly, the base melee seems as good as vanilla berserk

>>5532327
Dakka and champions.

>>5534353
It would be hard to have it look good on monsters, but it would be fantastic for weapon sprites.

Something else I'd also really like is for screen.drawShape and screen.drawTexture to have arguments to allow being lit by dynamic lights and whatever close to the player. With material support.

Get better hardware. All BSP engines get exponentially more demanding with the increase in scene complexity.
Or ask BloodGDX guy how did he manage to make it run at 1000+ FPS even in scenes that would make GZDoom drop from its usual ~200 down to 100

>>5534414

Graf is the main developer of GZDoom. He can do whatever he wants. You dont like the current features? Just stick with another sourceport, or even better, fork it.

Sometimes the mods devs are shitty monkeys like sgmiv and can't stand with nice updates because they don't understand anything about coding stuff.

because past that lies bullshit like altering how pitch and the way it is transfered worked for the past few years because that apparently was not how it should've worked (but nobody noticed), so everything using several functions related to it made before 3.7.1 breaks
There was no reason to change that behaviour, those functions did not affect anything else and altering them offered no benefit to the engine's maintenability

the "hate" is mostly ironic, but it is based on loads of questionable decisions, and several shitfest dramas that stemmed from his poor judgement
Recent "why would anyone want to select a precise resolution? just stetch the window's edge lol." is a good example.

Although the lilith.pk3 debacle was hilarious.

You are making a fuckton of progress, anon! I always knew you'll get back to work on your mod and I really hope you'll finish it eventually.

>>5534608
Probably the best would be to mimic some of the modern RPG/shooters, where it keeps showing you HP bar of the enemy you've aimed at for another ~6 seconds after you stopped aiming at him and switched targets. Would allow player to quickly scan over a group of enemies with all their HPs shown, but all unnecessary clutter would disappear quickly, leaving only HP bar of one under the crosshair.

That's a fantastic idea and it's gonna be a thing now.

>>5534291
>reports of actual performance increase with Vulkan on
so they're real.

>>5534628
if you haven't played it, mind-hijacking in EYE does give you direct control of the enemy, but it does so in an indirect way.
Instead of controlling a hijacked enemy same way as you do your player character (wasd + mouse for example) you get touch-screen like buttons for looking, basic movement and shooting and since you have 1 mouse that limits you to single action at a time, so while it's fun, it's also kinda cumbersome (which is the intent)
I think it would go well with the kind of interface you're making
esp if you find a way to make it work with custom enemies too

>>5534761

I'm not 100% certain that it's energy-conserving. It looks to control the level of specular light added with a metallic level and distance, and then it adds that to the albedo "material.Base". It doesn't seem to fade between albedo and reflection as I understand energy conservation to work in PBR shaders.

>>5534768
It looks possible for it to exceed a 0-1 range because of it just adding specular to the base color and GZDoom has HDR capability with exposure adjustment and tonemapping.

Its called efficiency and doing a good job.
How the hell do prime time video games from the mid 00s run so fast, its because of efficiency.

Ive also got a peculiar notion that engines these days should convert old 2.5d based maps into straight up idtech3+ full 3d map formats every time they're loaded (check MD5 to note if its different from cached version).

I think this "pretending to be 3d and then putting the goddamn gas pedal on the floor" thing, when the environment is pretty damn abstract and not 3d in the first place has something to do with the performance problems. Contortionism isnt the same as bunny hopping or surfing.

even on a toaster most of the levels are pretty fluid, only a couple of them such as swampy will try to lag.

That's partial horse shit. I know because I've bled a lot. Some blood is darker, depends on what gets cut, and how oxygenated your blood is. It's always shiny, because wet, but not mirroresque.
An accurate blood texture would sorta blend the two. Globby dark and spraying red.

>>5533501
Guess the problem with new Doom's art direction is how it tries to expand the series but at times, makes stuff less interesting to the point it feels like the opposite of expanding it.
Sphere power ups are an example of this: they went from animated faces to just simple spheres with effects surrounding them.
It's as if Doom's design were already interesting enough on their own you could build up lore on that.
Sometimes i wonder if some of the ideas they put in the game are scrapped stuff from a different IP.

>>5534969
Much better.

Now I gotta figure out how to use the higher resolution texture I assume is generated when multisampling or whatever it was is enabled. Otherwise it just stretches out an anti-aliased image.

Also how to not fuck up the weapon sprite.

So in other news, why the fuck is The City of the Damned Apocalypse so good and yet so fucking bad at the same time? Seriously, amazing fucking atmosphere, but the guns and gunplay is just awful. You can't just take weapons and monsters from Blood and a revolver from Rednek Rampage and call it a day. It wasn't even a survival horror, it was more like a "Survival Tedium" imo. I love the fuck out of the setting and atmosphere but absolutely have to play it with weapon mods like Final Doomer or, dare I say it, Hideous Destructor.

shut up this is the coolest ive ever made the game look, dont take this way from me

Ooof. If anyone wants to edit their shaders replace it with this:

Linear to sRGB
mix(1.055*pow(x, vec3(1./2.4)) - 0.055, 12.92*x, step(x,vec3(0.0031308)));

sRGB to Linear
mix(pow((x + 0.055)/1.055,vec3(2.4)), x / 12.92, step(x,vec3(0.04045)));

quick question but what does this vulkan thing do anyway i don't keep up with newer graphic stuff i have it enabled along with hdr and so far i don't see anything new

>>5535124
Which expansion is this?

>>5535203
It's the new OpenGL or Direct3D as far as we need to know.

>>5535193
It needs to be made consistent down the whole pipeline.
Should preferably use sRGB textures and framebuffers to reduce some shader operations.

zdaemon for multiplayer doom, every thursday theres a survival(1-2 lives) coop server with newish maps

>>5535205
is eduke's polymer mode outdated?

>>5535193
Did you write that? Clever use of mix and step in place of if/else I didn't know about.

>>5535182
Fair enough then. Personally I think the low res textures look prettier without bilinear filtering.

>>5535176
Poor C. Kid, he got wrecked by a bara.

>>5535226
No, I found it in another shader and saved it. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MlSGzR

>>5535178
It's interesting when you find a .wad which you equal parts love, and equal parts hate.

Any new roguelike / roguelite mods in the past few years? RoR2 got me wanted more of the exact same thing but, you know, fleshed out more and in Doom.

>>5534985
It always freaked me out as a kid playing all alone when the monsters would attack the level end camera.

>>5534883
map? or oblige?

>>5535276
You gonna replace the mobs with some horrible witchcraft?

>>5535231
I wish there were a thread dedicated to the discussion of game graphics.

>>5535145
Reminds me of the Nintendo 64

Someone wanted to tell me using mix, pow, and step instead of just pow for converting to sRGB is going to jeopardize the performance of GZDoom.

This is exceptionally ironic considering the developers gave up on supporting older slower hardware, never mind how trivial the calculations are.

Then went on to say Doom isn't a PBR engine, as if to suggest the PBR features don't have to work right because it wasn't in the base game.

I had to edit my reply like 5 times and I still couldn't word it without being a bitch.

>>5535310
That can be either a good or bad thing, depending on your tastes.
There's also filters which let you emulate the awkward point scaling which you'd see on Saturn and Playstation 3D models, looking all wobbly and stuff.

>>5535326
Tested performance differences between the two with a gamma-corrected gaussian blur GLSL shader.

With the correct sRGB conversion I got 150 frames per second.

With just pow 2.2 I got 151 frames per second.

And that's on a 10-year-old laptop with a mobile GPU with OpenGL 2.1 which shouldn't even be able to run the OpenGL 3.3 GZDoom 4.x releases.

But this evidence shouldn't need to be given for mix() which is just multiplication and addition, and step() which is basically boolean.

I'm so upset by these bad excuses.

the shadowmaps amaze me

They're fucking awful. Until they are blocked by sectors, there's no point.

>>5535234
Yeah. It makes me remember it more. Someday I'd like my hateboner for this game to motivate me to learn how to replace every weapon in the game with a random spawner for the respective slot, kinda like how shit like Trailblazer or Samsara does it.

>>5535254
Yes and no. You gotta do some work for it.
1) Get DoomRPG and Doom Roguelike Arsenal + Doom Roguelike Monsters (Henceforth DRLA+M.)
2) Get the specific version of GZDoom this requires (thanks for breaking everything with every update Graf you stupid faggot)
3) Toggle the mods after configuring the launcher
4) If the game doesn't launch right, put -sm3 or -sm2 in the properties. I have zero fucking idea why this works but it does.
5) run the game.

NOW, for level generation.

1) Get oblige, obhack, and any other random level generators you find online.
2) Generate levels
3) ????
4) PROFIT!!!

It's about as automated as it can get. Keep in mind these levels won't be as fun as regular doom levels. Randomly generated levels are about above-average at best and really safe at worst, further enunciated by whatever you play them with. Hideous Destructor works quite well, for example, but that true roguelike experience? DoomRPG, baby.

Only impassible linedefs block light. So while light doesn't go through walls, it /does/ go through floors and ceilings.

this whole thing had me shaking

you are right
people are entitled little shits
no one owes you work

Would I be a fag for turning the difficulty down to HMP for Mount Pain in TNT?
I've tried for months to beat it on UV but I feel like I'd have to save scum to do it, the map is just so long with so many tough choke points. I feel like beating the map legit on HMP would be better than saving between encounters on UV just to play the last three maps.

>>5535332
this is nauseating and looks a million times worse than any ps1 game

>>5535565
I think you're using some kinda mod with it then because I dont have a problem in UV Mount Pain. Im not exactly a badass at these either, I get killed alot in modern maps.

>>5535565
Just save occasionally. I beat that map with Hideous Destructor, you can beat it vanilla, anon. I believe in you!

>>5535575
I'm playing on Chocolate DOOM without any mods. The map is just really hard for me. It has almost no body armor and a lot of tight corridors. I've gotten to the outdoor area a couple times but then got overwhelmed each time.

>get to Unholy Cathedral with hideous destructor
Slightly tempted to skip the map purely due to the teleports

>>5535614
Hmm its been awhile so I just went and tried it again and was even recording a demo. They really dont give you much health in this map. But I remember that was kinda a thing all throughout TNT, lots of health when you dont need it, not much in maps where you do.

But still I made it all the way to the end before I died. As usual it was an archvile that did it. But really there's not much to the map.
- use cover against zombies, dont let them get cheap shots in, when there's chaingunners move so there's a bunch of other guys in the way so theyll soak it up for you
- the red key area in the "disaster zone" I really just sorta ran through and when I came back I noticed a bunch of revenants there, so I just put them down at the top of the stairs. Didnt even know the key was down there until I came back, then I ran for it again.
- use the plasma gun on the revenants that are on the pedestals outdoors, dont forget to keep track of the lost souls, and do tap-fire on the chaingun to hit the chaingunners on the walkways. Dont be ashamed to run a long ways from the homing rockets to avoid them.

The shell boxes at the beginning I remember always dying at when I played it years ago, its a cheap shot, but the crusher is lethal and the shells should only be grabbed if you really need them.

As for the end part, meh, on that precipice they've got you flanked and you really need to rocket that archvile as fast as possible to get some wiggle room. Probably the closest revenant next.

>>5535565
Mount Pain is a really big map, I don't think anyone would fault you for making just one mid level save.

>>5535565
>>5535637
>>5535652
Here's the demo I recorded if you wanna see how I handled it. UV of course, didnt care how long it took, as I said the archvile at the end killed me. But I made it that far and this was only one attempt.

Noticed stray pixels on this just now and cleaned them away while screeching.

>>5535715
And on this one too.

Anyone know any WADS that deal with a castle or a similar setting?

>>5535732
Bloodstain has some castles.

>>5535565
While I think playing entire maps without saving is insanity, especially with how every notable thing that comes out now is some huge behemoth, I also don't want to save every single time I win a fight. What do you guys think a bronzeman of sorts where you save only when you find keys? Any other ideas?
