Dear mods: OP sucks cocks and fucked up big time with the News post

could you please remove the first post? thank you

will repost since it was at the very end of last thread

A recent discovery in Doom 64 allows youto warp from one of the secret maps (The Lair) instantly to the credits. This is my final product speedrun using this. Doom 64 is now the fastest full game run of any of the major retro Doom games. When I first picked this game up in 2014, the fastest completion of Watch Me Die was 1 hour 8 minutes in real time by peaches. With the aid of many new glitches, improved routing, and better skill, the warpless record run now is 36:58 real time (32:32 IGT) and the warped run is less than half that now. I am happy to have given this game the attention it deserves for being by far the best console Doom game. Hope you all enjoy the run.

(NEW) Warped Watch Me Die WR - 13:30 IGT/15:48 RTA:

Also for those interested in the specifics of why this warp works, check out pic related.

Warped WMD in game time splits:

0:30 - Staging Area
1:37 - The Terraformer
1:27 - Main Engineering
0:47 - Holding Area
1:26 - Tech Center
1:23 - Alpha Quadrant
0:20 - Research Lab
0:11 - Final Outpost
1:27 - Even Simpler
1:18 - The Bleeding
1:56 - Terror Core
0:26 - Altar of Pain
0:42 - The Lair

Total: 13:30

If you have any questions I'll be around for a while.

The wayfarer looks neat, and I did play wrath of Chronos with masters of chaos

Heretic/Hexen related pics from your folder are welcome

tried to mod once

>>5618004
SIGIL will "officially" be released on Friday. Probably should add this to the next thread's news post.

Reminder half life ruined the fps genre forever and even other genres with it's influence

>>5618228
>I'm completely unable to enjoy thing because of morons that aped it for easy money
Why are you here enjoying Doom then? There was a reason FPSs were called "Doom clones" for a while.

>>5618230
/vr/ doesnt like half life stop deluding yourself

Doom clones are good and helped the genre unlike crap-life.

anons, does someone have a cracked delta touch?
I have to spend these nights at the hospital and google doesn't take my debit card

Hey MetaDoom guy I just wanna say that while your mod isn't my cup of tea I respect all the work you put into it and the way you combined all the various doom games into one is fucking awesome as all hell. I especially love your sprite work and the explosion effects you did. Excellent job man.

>>5618175
I think you meant to post this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkhCNx-8Qos&t=40s

>>5618198

>>5618205
>>5618203
tl;dr there's a mod for Half Life 1 called Half-Life: Absolute Zero that recreates the entire game's alpha for use in the original game as well as Xash3D. It's really fucking cool and well made, but some losers making a point and click game somehow copyrighted the term "Absolute Zero" so instead of going after CoD's devs, or anyone with an album named "Absolute Zero" they went after the only game on steam with "Absolute Zero" in the name so that they could be the only search result for it.

>>5618265
No beef quite like indie dev beef, I guess.

fuck off valve drones stop shilling your shitty mod
a game that ruined gaming doesnt deserve any recognition.

>>5618242
is gzdoom android 0.2.1 the last one?

>>5618198
Try The History of Fruit and HYMN for Heretic. HUMP, HUMP-mini, and XUMP (Hexen) are also worth checking out.

>>5618028
>>5618046
Wtf are these referencing

>>5618298
Quake you dumb zoomer

Quake champions has a lizard character named Sorlag
I think she's from Quake 3 actually? I dont remember

>>5618258

thank you anons

I do wonder what would happen if Joel got hit in head one of these days and decided to announce a Heretic mapping contest

Still wish Doom would have stuck with techno instead of metal.

>>5618370
Brutal Chex Quest would be novel enough to be funny for at least a level or two

>>5618387
And Blood is already pretty brutal as it is
>head removal
>chunks fly off when gibbing

>>5618387

Ketchup works with Chex Quest if I recall correctly. I haven't tried Bolognese

>>5618407
brutal doom works with chex

>>5618387
>>5618407
>>5618412

Blood and guts will take out the atmosphere and charming of Chex Quest.
Unless that the enemies just explode in colours or something like that.

Post your wad collections anons, I need suggestions on what to play next.
I tend to prefer Alien Vendetta style stuff but I'm open to anything at this point.

>>5618456
look up the cacowards and make your way back to 2004

or you can do it the other way around if it strikes your fancy

>>5617995
oh hey thats metroid

>>5617995
Crash anon it think its time to you to work on proper crash doujins on /aco/

>>5618467
Cacowards are where 90% of the wads I've played through are from. Was just hoping to see what other people here play to get an idea of what I'm missing. Been bored of browsing doomworld all day.

>>5618290
>>5618242
thanks

>>5618175
exquisite taste

>>5618482

Did you check the 25 years of doom feature on DW?

It should be noted that some mappers put a lot of effort and care in the lighting and it would be kinda rude to shit all over it with your fancy Chocolate Doom filter

I just wanted to see if it affects performance, I'm not a heartless monster

Whats up with Nashgores broken flashing floor blood? Im running in software mode on GZDoom

>>5618532
Also the Slaughter Spectrum really wants to tank your performance

Enabling Vulkan helps a ton actually, though I still get some screen tearing

> that section in Sigil where you finally get a chainsaw and get to take out all you frustration in that red hallway

Romero knows his shit. Sigil may be save scum hard, but for what is basically a finale episode it makes sense. Remember to use software mode light sectors though.

Was there a certain sound font Sigil was composed in like Doom was. It sounds good in base fluidity but doesn't sound as great with Roland I've noticed.

>>5618592
I guess you'd have to ask Jimmy. I know some other MIDI musicians compose for the default soundfont because that's what most people will be listening to it with.

Confession time: I didn't like Sigil.
Too gimmicky for my iking.

Cursed doom wads

Ion Maiden is probably getting renamed. To the surprise of no one they're getting sued over the name.

Jesus Christ, and Ion Maiden is such a good name too.

>>5618649
What a disappointment when most of these hardcore metal bands became lawsuit boomers in their older years.

>>5618649
Remember kids, if there's money involved nobody is your friend. Boomers doubly so. Cover your ass and retain a lawyer.

>>5618649
That's pretty fucking stupid, Iron Maiden. WE OWN WORDS NOW. EVEN... SIMILAR SOUNDING ONES. YEAH!

>>5618649
Stop getting worse, timeline.

>>5618370
I'm morbidly curious as to how broken a Brutal Marathon would be.

>>5618667
>"How much fun is fighting a couple of Barons of Hell with nothing but a shotgun" said no one ever.

Jesus Christ, what a fucking pussy.

>>5618370
No Brutal Square

>>5618649
Doubtful it will go anywhere. They will boo hoo and say its blatant but will have hell of a time proving how the art and music is in any shape or form related to the band. The only thing they have is that the title is a play on their name. But given that an Iron Maiden is a medieval torture device predating the band, that in of itself is going to be pain in the ass to argue in court.

>>5618198
>>5618293
Play Elf Gets Pissed, it's fucking great.

>>5618708
There will never be a point in time where people playing a wad will realize "hmm, all I have is a shotgun and there are seven barons of hell here, perhaps there is more to this level than meets the eye."

Literally right now I'm playing through Demons of Problematique and there's a setpiece where all I have is a shotgun and a level starts with THREE barons riding your ass. Nothing encourages you to move your buns through the level as fast as you can quite like that, which I think was the intended effect.

>>5618717
Still gotta deal with the legal fees. Not like they'll back down without a fight. Voidpoint isn't exactly a big rich studio and 3D Realms... well, who knows what they'll do.

Hopefully the Iron Crybabies get shot down immediately.

>>5618370
At lest the first six exist already though.

we need more spooky revenants

>>5618731
I'm thinking it won't even get that far. Prob get looked at and dismissed based on it being obvious frivolous case.

>>5618304
Why do people say "Quake" when theyre actually referring to Quake 3? There were no lizard bitches in Quake (or Quake 2 for that matter)

>>5618739
Yeah. Pretty much what anyone would say. But those fucking spin doctors, man. You never know.

>>5618741
I dunno. It's very confusing.
Maybe because Quake 3 is the most famous game of the franchise.

>>5618532
Its a singleplayer game. Its impossible to be "rude"

>>5618649

I want Doomgirl to peg me and beat the absolute dogshit out of me while high on a berserk pack.

>>5618760
I still hate how unfitting it is for Doom. Let alone how all over the place each song is.

>>5618783
At first I didn't like it but after a while it got comfy.

Feels like music for someone from the 80s, perfect fit for classic retro gaming.

>>5618792
Playing Doom with non-electronic music gives me the same feeling as playing Doom with HD textures or models would.

>>5618717
That's not how courts work.

Serious question: When you first heard the name "Ion Maiden" what was the first thing you though of? The phrase "iron maiden"? Of course it was. You and everybody else on the planet.

Now what's the first thing you think of when you hear the phrase "iron maiden"? The heavy metal band "Iron Maiden", right? If they can convince the judge that most people would make the same association then they have a legal case. That's all that needs to be established in court.

And since OF COURSE "Ion Maiden" reminds people of "Iron Maiden" there's no way they beat this. Best case scenario is they settle before a trial can start and the name ends up getting changed without bankrupting the studio in the process.

>>5618798
On the flipside they could play the wild card. "It's just free advertisement for you guys LMAO"
Yeah, no. That's not gonna work.

>>5618798
>Serious question: When you first heard the name "Ion Maiden" what was the first thing you though of? The phrase "iron maiden"? Of course it was. You and everybody else on the planet.
Man I wasn't aware that I'm living on the moon. Thanks for informing me.

>>5618649
What happened to references?

>>5618798
>>5618805
It's a trademark dispute isn't it? Pretty sure they're obligated to fight those or else it becomes a free for all.

>>5618798
Iron maidens existed long before the band.

>>5618817
The difference is that the English blacksmiths that made the original iron maidens hundreds of years ago are no longer around to dispute the name with a heavy metal band.

Man, what a shitty situation. Any word from Voidpoint?

>>5618823
Best I could find. Kotaku but whatever.
https://kotaku.com/iron-maiden-is-suing-the-game-ion-maiden-1835110947
Basically Iron Maiden fans going "We're stupid and illiterate. What the fuck?! You tricked us!"

>>5618821
His point is that it's a pre-existing word/phrase with an understood meaning, which is something you can't just trademark and then make claims on all willy nilly.

>>5618741
People also say Terminator, System Shock...

>>5618838
The trademark system is fucked so you basically can if you have the money, same with copyright.

>>5618838
You could make a limited claim. Iron maiden tm with respect to music and music and toy merchandising

>>5618856
That'd be a stretch to a video game.

Fantasy land best case scenario:
Ion Maiden gets an Iron Maiden soundtrack and the profits get split 50/50. Everybody wins bigtime.

The most distant of pipe dreams.

>>5618835
Oh aha oh, oh ah oh, oh aha oh.
I hope they lose.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDn2U_AKQj/?hl=es-la
is there some D_RUNNIN in this or is it just me?

I made a tiny mod for Heretic using Decorate. It increases the firing speed for all weapons but reduces the max amount of ammo you can carry as well, that and other changes to try and balance things out (All changes are shown in the text file)

I made it since I feel the enemies are a little bullet spongy and found the pace of the game was a bit slow because of it but I didn't want too much of the game changed, I also wanted to figure out how decorate works and what I could do with it.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7b3aa20edhjngsk/dex-elf.rar?dl=0

I only played it using GZDoom, so it probably works with that source-port only.

>>5618865
>50/50
yeah, like fucking iron maiden needs the money.

>>5618873
Of course they'll lose. No way they can fight that kind of legal team.
There's no money for any of that of course so up in flames everything goes. Why? Because people are stupid.

I don't even give a shit about ion maiden. or iron maiden. but this dumb shit is just so pathetic, arrogant, and born from victim-complex. besides being a perfect display of how fucked IP laws are. I'd like to think a well adjusted person in that position would say "oh cool, they're kind of referencing something I was a part of!" but then again, this is fucking clown world. HONK HONK

>>5618943
Looking at his post I'm gonna say he's a massive fucking faggot and should be disregarded. This industry is a shitheap but there's still things worth celebrating

>>5618948
... are you okay

>>5618953
BUSTAH WOHLF

>>5618948
Note that the band members probably don't run the brand company directly, and companies are legally *required* to protect their trademarks like this or they'll have the rights to the name stripped away. Intellectual property law is weird, and makes some people seem like assholes when there legit is nothing personal about it.

They could however have told 3D realms to formally ask for permission and grant it to them, because the animosity from the public might hurt their brand.

>clown world
Sadly true.

>>5618948

>>5618948
I understand the sentiment, but most likely this lawsuit was filed by some lawyer on behalf of the band's publishing company, not the band members themselves. And even if they were involved they probably just rubberstamped it after being told someone was trying to rip them off.

>>5618948
iron maiden is decent. just because they pull this shit doesn't take away from their merit at creating stuff.

>>5618948
shut the fuck up

>>5618970
>just gonna rob and ruin these people real quick
>decent
The band would put a stop to this if they were decent.

Jesus christ game calm down fuck

>>5618962
They are *required* only in cases of blatant copyright infringement, which "Ion Maiden" is not.
They would've only HAD to press a charge in case the the offending product tried to tie itself to them or pass it as an official brand thing, in same fields they have trademarked their name in.
Ion Maiden does not fall into that category, so this lawsuit is not because they HAVE to, but simply because they CAN.
This is just an act of bullying.

>>5618948
>>5618965

your original post went on to douse them in shit because of their style and image in a completely unwarranted fashion. you can defend your point about them taking legal actions which really does show some scumminess from their part, but nothing about the work they ultimately do should weigh in on your judgement beyond personal preference.

yeah, I've heard that before, that's what I meant by how fucked the laws are. fucking criminal, especially if what you're saying about asking permission would've been possible too. and yeah, surely it isn't the band directly looking for asinine bullshit to claim as trademark infringement, but you won't see any of them looking into it and objecting, asking their parent companies to go for the non-agressive pursuit. the one that doesn't ruin people's careers.

Buddy I don't even care what you're arguing about, but grow a thicker skin. You're on the fucking internet.

>>5619016
>>5619029
I wasn't even being rude toward you to boot. just be aware that you shouldn't take it out on a group for the work they do based on drama. that's all.

tell you what, for someone to tell me to take it like a man, you sure seem affected by this, very visibly so.

>>5619028
you don't need to reach that far, friend.

Is there a real reason to attack one group of "geriatric boomers" over the ancient boomers who make a quasi-fan-game of shit bands? 3D Realms are the equivalent of burnt out groupies.
They both should go bankrupt.

so they're making a mural for E3 time. seems neat, the outline on the middle building suggests they're gonna be doing the classic boxart right under the Eternal logo.

>>5618649
>look these guys up
>one hit wonder who was big in the 70s or something

Oh, so thats why they are suing
This lawsuit is probably the most attention these hacks are ever going to get

I don't understand IP law. If worst comes to worst can't they settle if they just change the name or something? Eyeon Maiden? Maiden of Ions?
Don't really see how this could progress any further than that at this point.

so should I still like iron maiden or start burning all their records instead because their guitar playing should be filling me with some primal anger

>>5619049
this nigga lit looked up iron maiden on google lmfao

>>5619054
Well sorry I'm not into old rock music

>>5619049
>>5619053
kek

>creating a video game that has the same look and feel as the IRON MAIDEN video game, 'Legacy Of The Beast';

guys I totally can't tell ion maiden apart from some shitty phone game

>>5619059
not really big on the band itself, but I'm certain that the creature designs they used for their cover art would lend themselves better to something a bit more nuanced than some chinese mobile game. and of course it's isometric.

>>5619057
>who is Windows? I'm not into OS.

>>5619023
kek. bro, who the fuck cares about being a cunt to each other on the Internet, let alone on 4chan(nel) - LET ALONE "being a cunt" to a band in a DOOM thread. and you're quoting two different people again. but yo, let's just get back to DOOM or just discussing the lawsuit directly. no one needs to see either of us arguing more over literally fucking nothing, it's a shitty situation and that's about it. and I'm not justified, whatever floats your boat.
>>5619059
wait, what the fuck is this? fucking KEK, at last I see, this is the IP they must protect. totally justified now, case closed bros.

>>5618708

>>5619096
Thank you for the new shoes!

>>5619101
Yeah, but some later stages have some heavy handholding.
Like literally a text message in a middle of a screen telling you that you can jump from window of one building into the window of a next one (when you stare right at the window frame)

Or that you should climb the railing to jump onto the bridge despite all prior railings on the level being unclimbable.

Or that you should jump at a roof of a bus that has ammo on it from the roof.

Or stating that you can use stones obviously protruding out of a wall to climb it

Or telling you that switch opened a door in the next room. I mean really.

>>5619112
Well, if you think about the kind of people who play Brutal Doom, that makes sense

>>5617814
Something tells me you got a better price.

People here talk about Intermission a lot. No interest in Doom Radio?

Sigil better with pistolstart or continuous play?

>>5619164
It is very possible to stop the crushers in a position that makes it impossible to both get out or restart them meaning that you are completely trapped and have to reload/restart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMX0uQpDsYU

>>5619187
This stuff is pretty much perfect
Great props to you, dude.

>>5619292
Thanks senpai. Still taking suggestions.
Know about secret doors showing when they shouldn't, and lack of support for door lock colors and cross-portal overlays (probably won't even bother with portal support because it would be extremely painful)

Can you also show all activateables on the map, like you can do with AM_cheat ?

>>5619306
Yeah, will try. I think that's part of the commented out source code converted stuff in the GetLineColor function.

I think that's outside the scope of the project, but it shouldn't be hard at all for another modder to do that. They'd only need to grab players[consoleplayer].readyweapon.OverlayY(1)/OverlayX(1) and use those as the X and Y map position (+offsets) rather than the cvars I think.

This is from Combat Shock I believe.

>>5619231
Pistolstart is more or less Perfect Hatred all the way through.

>>5619336
No worries. Not like it makes much sense to have something like that anyway without some adventuretastic gameplay mechanics.

>>5619386
What I do want to try though for the non-standalone version in my main mod is doing isometric 3D projection of the map. I don't think it should be that hard really.

Spiders man

Why are people pissing on E5M7? It's a great, all around adventure map. The Barons behind the yellow key door are the only wtf moment in the otherwise outstanding map.

>>5619464
Romero likes Barons.

>>5619258
Is that true? There's an on and off switch from what I can tell, you could just keep fiddling with them I figure.

>>5618778
I think those are shadows not nipples

If E5M2 was meant to be a throwback to E4M2, it fucking sucks in that capacity.

>>5619476
There's a caged-out section near the end with a pool of blood. There is room of crushers in front of it leading to the exit and a corridor of crushers leading to the begining.
When you hug the grate of the cage from inner side, crushers stop.
The crushers will restart if you get back to the beginning and enter the area again.

Problem is crushers go at irregular intervals so it is very possible to unknowingly stop them in a composition where you can't pass onto the exit, and can't get back to the beginning to restart the crushers.

>>5619484
What makes you think it was meant to be a throwback?

>>5618897

My Sigil Review
> Hardware Renderer
I can't see anything. What was that? Jesus oh fuck
> Software Renderer
A tough natural extension to the difficulty Thy Flesh Consumed ended on. It can be brutal at times, but Romero does a decent job of rewarding the player in between gauntlets. Not the best maps ever made, but for those that wanted more after episode four of Ultimate Doom, it's well worth a play.

keeping these descriptions short is such an annoyance

>>5618953
>>5618958

>>5619554

>>5619561

>>5619586

I am gonna rewrite it in two pages and do the same with others and re arrange the stuff so I can write it properly

I think Brutal Doom is a decently fun way to unwind but it's a farcry from being the best mod out there and could never replace the original Doom II.

>>5619554
Couldn't you up the res of your help pages to 800 x 600 to give yourself more space?

Last I checked, he was pumping out board game expansions on kickstarter

>>5619701
Agreed, even though I like them both.

>>5619709
Does anyone here own any of the board games he’s worked on? I saw on his KS page that in one of his games, a donation goal is to add a Spider Mastermind-like enemy. Is that still happening?

Maybe not.

>>5619396

are they gonna sue capcom for having an enemy named "iron maiden" in RE4 too?

How do you get to M9 on sigil? Secret map?

>>5619723
Only if you snitch.

>>5619714
he made the original version of call of cthulhu and he made a new version recently

>>5619726
Capcom would bitchslap their asses if they tried anything.

>>5619729
That would be fun.

Okay, I felt a bit of excitement myself when this worked out. It's like a little 3D renderer.

Gotta do the upper layer of horizontal lines too, but it shouldn't be *too* hard.

>>5619734
Hory shet that minimap

>>5619417
What version of GZDoom? It's broadly compatible with most up until about 3.7.x where Graf decided to start popping Pervitin like uncle A and broke goddamned everything.
Also if you give me the output I can see what's wrong maybe.

>>5619734
i kinda doubt the usefulnes of that map since it shows only like 10m in front of you.

>>5617995

In E5M6, on the raised walkway in the cyberdemon room you'll eventually see an evil eye. Shoot it, and once you're at room with the cacodemon and green armor you get before teleporting in the baron cage, another room will have opened up with the secret exit. Hope this helps.

Also, Sigil's first room reminds me of the first room from MM. I wonder if Romero was a fan of MM.

I dunno if that guy who tore me a new asshole a few days ago is still here, but I've been thinking about a means of addressing the fucked up melee power difference between Blaz and Doomslayer.
If I spread the damage out of Blaz's combo so it starts stronger but doesn't spike up as high as it does at the end of the combo, it'll mean he'll be capable of killing wimpy enemies with a single blow, while also making sure tougher monsters still need some work to bring down, plus if I increase the pause between Doomslayer's sword swipes, it'll mean he's still capable of one shotting weak enemies too, he's just not as fast or efficient as Blaz. I'll be tweaking his quickfire melee too, make it so you can't chain the swipes together as quickly but still able to animation cancel and all that good shit.
Have an update to this art so far too, I've cleaned up the dithering on a few spots and I feel like that was the right call. Nearly done with the Bomber Knight, still need to figure out what last monster is gonna be.

>>5619847
Do you have an example?

Scripted stuff can be hidden if it's ACS and the person removed their source files after compilation. Pictures can really only be hidden if you do really fancy dumb shit like encoding it as an ACS rgb array and draw individual pixels with hudmessage or something.

>>5619846
>>5619857
What does Hideous Destructor come close to sounding like that would infringe copyright?

I can't think of anything that I would confuse it for.

>>5619846
A lyric from a song is not the same as the name of a band, also it’s not a paid game, it’s a mod.
Hideous Destructor was the absolute perfect name, it sounded cool and accurately described the experience.

>>5619863
It's a Judas Priest lyric. I'm pretty sure Matt's just fucking around like he usually does, though.

>>5619863

Being inspired by the Accelerator Rifle from DoomZone I opened up the pk3 in slade to see how the weapon works, the problem comes from it's 'puff' where there's "BFGEffect4" listed as custom missile, but that whole item/missile/effect doesn't exist in any of the files I checked. Same for the assorted decaldef files associated with it where the pics BFGSCRC1, BFGSCRC2, BFGLITE1 and BFGLITE2 just don't seem to exist.

Well see you say that but after watching a fucking Space Station 13 server get crushed under a legion of FOX's lawyers I don't think anything is sacred anymore.

>>5619880
Admins do a lot of "pirate broadcasting" on those servers. Music mostly. Can't have that. No fun allowed without a license.

>>5619880
>Well see you say that but after watching a fucking Space Station 13 server get crushed under a legion of FOX's lawyers

oh for fucks sake what happened

>>5619880
You are now aware that SS13 is legitimately bigger that doom modding is.

>>5619873
Its also the best 3d platformer

>>5619887
Someone angry about drama snitched on the Colonial Marines server to FOX and they got a big fat cease and desist notice and had to change everything on the server.

>>5619890
Fuck man what happened?

>>5619895
That's not so bad. No fines or anything. No problem. Not like there's a drought on SS13 content.

>>5619823
Goodness, Strife has some incredibly smooth animations.

>>5619898

Sounds a bit puny, but I dig the revolver

>>5619895
when did this happen?

>>5619903
Do you have a gif of the gibbing animation?

>>5619909
i didn't make one unfortunately

>>5619904
Sometime mid/late last year I believe.

>>5619701
Plutonia was ahead of its time, where as TNT was fairly typical of 95-96 era mapping.

>>5619910
I remember the first time I got killed by something shooting fire at me, and seeing this animation. I was really impressed with the level of detail Strife had. Its a shame it was overshadowed by its contemporaries.

>>5619057
You're not cool, you just look completely out of touch.

>>5618702
They sued someone several back for a book titled Iron of the Maiden
>>5618717
I don't think the idea is to win, it's to try an extort them for settling fees.

>>5619926
Just making fun of the legal system. This even being something they can bring up in a court of law is ludicrous. But, you know, money is pretty much Satan, so...

I bought sigil and I have to ask: is there even a reason to make an account on Romero's store?
I like that it came in a pack called 'Sigil Registered Version'.

>>5618948
It probably isn't them filing the law suit. The name is so far detached from the band that it's basically a franchise at this point.
It's probably their record label and their armies of lawyers.

>>5619684
I'd love to.

>>5619684
Yes, yes I would.

>>5619857
>>5619846
Something tells me he crapped himself after the Ion Maiden thing came out.

>>5619684
Yes, given all the time he needs, modern tools and being able to do what he likes, I think he'd come up with something neat.

>>5619956
I think everyone did because the only thing stopped most of the doom community getting sued for equally frivolous bullshit is the fact that most people don't realize that there's still a doom community.

Everything in the OP archive is 100% legal. R-right guys?

>>5619964
Nah, it's the typical USI of your average forumite modder. It's very easy to be a big fish in a pond of indeterminate size which you assume is far larger than it is. Plus, upon further inspection, it seems like he's just taking out his nerd rage at heavy metal instead of trying to dodge a lawsuit that will literally never happen.

DOOM wads are free and the ones that aren't free use entirely custom assets or are sanctioned by id software.
It's a whole different ballpark. For example Simon's Destiny uses fuck loads of stolen assets and it was wildly popular when it came out yet it's still on every major mod site available for download because the author hasn't made a dime off it.

>>5619971
Don't think too hard about it.

Okay lads, buckethead or midi for sigil? I'm thinking midi

>>5619980
this.
most big companies not only:
Do not know shit about Doom

Or, don't care because there's no way to make money off of a suit.

I wonder if this is what did Ion Maiden in.
I don't think they'll survive. 3D Realms, we hardly knew ye. Again.

>>5619984
What? It isn't even out yet

>>5619991
They've been selling the demo for a long time. They can change the name but they'll still have to pay for "damages."

>>5618649
Iron maiden didn't even come up with the name iron maiden. They're real fucking things.
The only way they'll win the suit is if they just toss so much money at it so as to be grotesque about it.

Heretic is fun and I love Hexen but if it didn't focus around switch puzzles then it would be a 10/10 in my book. Hexen 2 is fun, I am playing through vanilla Hexen 2 right now as a Necromancer, good times. Wrath of Cronos is really fucking nice as well.

Also, this is the anon who is working on a custom Hexen map pack inspired by the map design of games like Ultima Underworld and Delver. I will post an update on the first map soon.

Remember those rocket armed big titty bitches in Quake 2?

Wouldn't it be weird haha if someone had some cool fanart of them haha

Instant endorsement right there, you better keep us updated

>>5620002
Fight changing the name it's not Iron Maiden it's Ion Maiden. They don't have a trademark on Ion Maiden. Take those cunts to court they have nothing to stand on.

>>5619743
Holy shit this is awesome!

>>5620039
fuck not fight*

>>5619737
i got it to work anon, thanks.

>>5619898
It does, doesn't it?
Whoever did the 2D art was very talented, and did meticulous work, because it's VERY clean, VERY smooth, and VERY consistent.
There's no stray pixels, no color bleeding, no palette conversion errors or anything.

>>5620059
Well that's good.

>>5620021
weren't those enemies called Iron Maidens? Hey!

>>5618467
Cacowards are a stupid circlejerk of untalented and mostly stupid modders.

Gimme something in terms of Epic 2 or Extermination Day!

>>5620082
Epic 2 won a cacoward you silly

>>5620082
>Epic 2
So, Cacoward winners, then?

>>5620082
I agree that a lot of Cacowards are undeserved but that's largely due to the fact that DOOM wadding has slowed down dramatically over the years and they still try to meet their 3 pages of awards quota every year.
There are always at least a handful of good wads that make it in but you have to sift through all the shit ones to find them.

>>5620087
what wads would you say are undeserving?

>>5620087
>sift through all the shit ones to find them.
yeah, its a pain in the arse to find a good wad to play nowadays.

Anything similar to Diabolus Ex?

I love the Japanese community pack partly because it's so awesome to be playing Doom levels created by people from a console country like Japan for the most western PC game in existence, even have their own soundtrack

I'm joking

>>5620082
Bloodstain

>>5620081
Holy shit they are. I swear to god this was just a coincidence. Weird.

>>5620094
Mostly stuff in recent years. There are a lot of good years where I feel like almost every wad on the list is great, but then there are years where they clearly just wanted to pad out the awards to hit the standard 3 pages.
I'll dig through the awards and post some examples in a bit.

How do you lads catalogue your wads? Half the wads in my doom folder I don't know what the fuck they are because i didn't rename them when I dropped em in there way back, need to reorganize this shit

>>5619808
That's the appeal though. He's so non controversial it's refreshing. He just has fun joking about video games.

>>5620110
I use different settings or sometimes even different source ports for different wads, so I have them all in their own folders in a master folder called DOOM wads.

>>5620110
I have a bunch of folders in my ZDL directory
gamplay/maps/gore/music/misc/Heretic-Hexen

and then I save a bunch of presets like VENDETTA.zdl

>>5620109
Eh, I'd argue the cacowards has had its share of meh years even back in the 00s

jesus fucking christ what the fuck is this?
Im playing PSX Doom TC and is it mother fucking normal that some of the maps are so ridiculously dark?
like fuck sake, thank god I am also playing with latest BD that adds a flashlight and that has brightmaps for monsters eyes or I wouldnt be able to see a palm from my nose
and people said Doom3 was dark?
is this shit normal?
was it like this back on the PSX too?

The Castle realised how fucked up the early parts of Redemption of the Slain is... nice to see those adjustments. Also built areas with Doom Builder for his own game.

>using OpenGL rendering
>using BrutalDoom

Just use Software Rendering, that'll enable you to see how you were supposed to in those PSX maps, with light emanating from doomguy.

>>5620141
Vanilla Essence has a PSX option if you want to play PSX TC more accurately.

>>5620157
whats wrong with OpenGL???
Im not using a texture filter besides Linear
I havent touched anything else

>>5620164
>whats wrong with OpenGL???
Dark WADs look much darker than intended on OpenGL. Specially on its default settings. Changing Lighting from "Dark" to "Software" makes it slightly better, but if you actually want to see shit your best bet is to use Vanilla Essence like this anon says >>5620161
