This Cacoward season is looking meh. Eviternity and Sigil are guaranteed awards but almost everything else released this year looks boring.

>>5621283

i dont see it

>>5621323
i think what took alot of people off guard is that doom is generally a very easy game and playing anything below UV is trivial.

>>5621331

REMEMBER THAT SIGIL OFFICIALLY RELEASES TOMORROW. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE NEWS POST IN THE NEXT THREAD.

>>5621353
Does that mean that there will finally be servers up? I really want to play some Sigil DM with you fags.

>>5621336
Trash, pretty much. The bad kind of self-aware.

>>5621340
>game made in 1993 is easier when people play with modern hardware, resolution, mouselook, non ball-mice, and have generally a lot more experience with FPS even if theyve never played Doom
>game made by the same guy in 2019 has difficulty appropriate for the much greater skill level of it's audience instead of being balanced exactly like it was in 1993
wooooooow
Are these the same retards who on their first playthrough of Blood and Shadow Warrior, select Extra Crispy and No Pain No Gain, then bitch about how the game isnt balanced?

>>5621303
Yeah. If BTSX E3 and TNT2 don't release this year, the cacowards are gonna be a snore.

>>5621336
Wouldn't really surprise me if something like that gets handed out at E3.

>>5621398
lol christ alive, I have been out of the game for a while but BTSX E3 is STILL not out?

>>5621340
People really need to get into the mindset that mapsets are almost never going to be as easy as Doom 1 and 2 themselves on UV. Especially because most of them are made with the expectation that the player has already completed them, and thus have taken off the training wheels.

>>5621406
They did make a thread for it with a bunch of screenshots back in february: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/104557-back-to-saturn-x-episode-3-wip/
So it could be getting close now. But yeah, still waiting for it.

So whats your favorite soundfont?
I'm liking the fatboy one some anon linked in a past thread

>played all the Build games back to back and loved them all
>can't into Doom

>>5621442
Even Redneck Rampage + Rides Again?

>>5621442
Vanilla DOOM feels ehh after playing Build games, but I still think community made DOOM wads hold up and are enjoyable. The engine is fine and source ports allow some nice new features.
Try Alien Vendetta. It's wad from 2001 but it still holds up, it's a lot faster paced than vanilla DOOM and has nice custom textures.

Now that is a ruined fucking city map

>>5621442
You should try the Ashes 2063 TC. It has that Build game feeling. There's even a building exploding / collapsing sequence.

does sigil work with wadsmoosh yet? speaking of that do I need to use both doom 1 and 2's sprite fixes for doom-complete.pk3?

>>5621359
This. Stuff like that just can't be done twice

>>5621348
He's right, though. Because the original Doom wads are so easy even on UV, lots of players have this mindset that that they ought to be able to blaze through UV, but HMP is supposed to be the baseline, not UV.

>>5621369
>starting on the hardest difficulty in a game you never played before.
i can get it if it's a franchise you're familiar with but what kind of overcompensating tryhard do you have to be to think this is a good idea?

>>5621460
>Alien Vendetta
This is pretty cool so far. I just started really getting into these games and I'm blown away with how many level packs there is for Doom.

>>5621496
I have a 3 gigabyte folder of nothing but idtech1 game wads, there are too many good ones to list in a single post.
DOOM is probably the most modified game of all time.

It won't happen again. We only got one.
Shine on you rushed diamond. RIP traditional media.

>>5621489
>but HMP is supposed to be the baseline, not UV.
i know it's probably true but i have a hard time believing that since it felt like levels were designed with UV's encounters in mind that it feels empty without them.

>>5621496
>AV
its a bit spotty in places, but boy you are in for a ride, I can safely say I disagree with the people who say it doesn't hold up

I still have a couple of maps to go so I might have to eat those words later down the line

>>5621509
If you end up enjoying it all the way up to the end you should give Scythe II a try. It's very unlike the first Scythe and is more in line with the style of Alien Vendetta. The two wads get compared a lot but I personally think they are both great.

>>5621359
you mean the original wasn't? there's no way they unironically did that comic.

>>5621419
I hade a cool setup where I was using a virtual mt-32 doing all the music. I tried to do it again but it didn't work for some reason. I should give it another try.

>>5621520
Lots of mainstream comics looked like that at the time. Unironically.

>>5621442
>>5621460
You should try UV with fast monsters if you haven't already. It really ups the ante without having to deal with respawning enemy bullshit like in Nightmare.

>>5621398
>>5621406
i wonder if they'll merge every episode into one wad once BTSX 3 comes out

>>5621538
I'll do it myself honestly. Pretty sure I know how and it's not that hard.

Draw-anons, I challenge you.
Recolor the Doom comic from scratch.

>>5621559
What? Why?

>>5621559
the original is perfect as is, in all its idiotic glory

>>5621559
would be funny if we remade it page by page kinda like /m/ did with the gundam OP but in comic form

or maybe panel by panel

>>5621538
I doubt it, considering a big part of the project is that it's compatible with vanilla doom2.exe.

Anyone know where the hell MARV-ELLER went? Apparently he nuked all his stuff and he hasn't posted in months.

is it even worth downloading

Not really

Do you like jerking off and then acting like you just played it for the lulz? Then it's for you.

>>5621639
nah the novelty wears off fast

>>5621507
They are fine in UV, but the cybies in M2, M5 and M6 are badly missing on HMP. Only the M9 one had been kept, which was quite terrible.

>>5621604

He made a YT post a couple months ago saying that he even forgot about the channel and wouldn't upload anymore.

>>5621280
Which must-plays am I missing here, /doom/? Maps only

>>5621657
Oh, well shit.

>>5621419
Brainlet here, how do you make gzdoom use the fatboy soundfont once downloaded? I assume it's through fluidsynth config or something?

>>5621660
preacher, the darkening, hellground, jenesis, strain, nihilty

>>5621669
Put fatboy file in the GZD soundfonts folder.
Sound options -> advanced -> midi -> fluid -> select fatboy.
Restart sound on your way out of the menus. Done .

What are some good total conversions?

>>5621676
Jenesis is already in the list, but I'll check those others out, thanks anon

>>5621676
Not trying to namefag btw, just used the name field to specify the map in a screenshot I posted earlier and forgot to remove it.

>>5621639
Yes if you play it as C. Kid

>>5621682
Castlevania: Simon's Destiny if you're a Castlevania fan. WolfenDOOM: Blade of Agony if you want a modern shooter that plays nothing like DOOM but kind of retains the look.
Honorable mention to The Adventures of Square for being super high quality. Wasn't really a big fan of the palette but I appreciate all the effort that went into it.

>>5621693
Thanks these both look awesome

>>5621678
Do you have any recommended settings, or should I leave it all default?

>>5621717
I set gain to 1 and up the voices just in case. Reverb is up to you. Gain pretty much seems to be a volume slider so 1 makes sense for the sound menu music slider.

>>5621725
Yeah, figured gain = 1 was alright
What does chorus do anyway? I don't really notice a difference on/off. And did you up the voices to max (4096) or to how much?

Are there any doom related discord servers that are worth your time? The zdoom server is pretty nice but it feels like there's more shit going on in regards to discord servers I'm just ignorant of.

>>5621280
>Fall into the pit at the end of Abattoire

No in general, nothing good comes from discord. I wish someone would revive the IRC though.

>>5621745
>merely pretending
k then

>>5621730
Chorus is busted? News to me. Never use it anyway so whatevs.
I go with 256 voices. Should be more than enough without hogging any extra memory... or whatever. I'm no expert.

You can tune things in the console too if you want. fluid_ and hit tab. Mess around.

>>5621754
Gotcha, thanks anon
I don't know if Chorus is busted, but I didn't notice a "chorus effect" at all when turning it on. Maybe my ears are the ones busted. Oh well, whatever, I won't use it either

>>5621745
I'm not a troll, I genuinely wanted to know if there was a decent discord server because I see people mentioning it so much I thought I was missing out on something.

>>5621592
shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp shlorp

>>5621771
I'll be more specific then. Generally no, not unless you're buddies with the people who operate private servers. Discord in general is infested with the absolute worst kind of people and any small tidbits you can get from it are usually obtainable elsewhere, though sometimes more slowly or with more difficulty. If you can tolerate the ZDoom discord and you really need a chat group for people who play doom for some godforsaken reason then get yourself in with the admins there and get access to their private channels. Personally I'd rather eat a bullet than deal with them but obviously I'm not everyone.
There's also the /r/doom discord but that's mainly for NuDoom, and the private Doominati one if it's still up but good luck getting in unless you know Terminus or something (plus it's apparently more for modding than anything else). All in all these threads are probably far more worth your time than any discord channel unless you're fine with the kind of idiocy that comes with online personas and power hierarchies.

>>5621604
>someone actually kept this image I made

>>5621796
Ye boi I was the one who posted the transparent Jake Paul that you used in that thread. I couldn't not save it.

>>5621801
I lost the image so I'm just glad to have it again. Thanks.

>>5621805
np bro

>>5621787
I appreciate the response. I used to be active in the doom community from about 2011 to 2016 and I just dropped off until more recently. A lot has changed in those 3 years and I'm still trying to catch up to speed, hearing people blindly bash discord without any reasoning just confused me as discord (from my eyes) was just irc with file uploading.

>>5621739
the /vr/ channel is on zandronum's server under #vr right?

I'm surprised that Civvie hasn't reviewed Final DOOM by now. Wonder if he will.

>>5621807
Last night I rip and tear gibbed your sister?

>>5621810
Something like that yeah. It's been dead for years now though.
>>5621809
I get that, I dropped off from 2015-2017 so I came back to a dead IRC and discord servers galore. In my honest opinion I would say that, unless you need specialized knowledge RIGHT NOW and there are people active in that discord, these threads and the ZDoom wiki/gzdoom.pk3/gzdoom source are a far less stressful and more useful tool for social interaction and modding reference respectively. Learning to read the pk3/source especially is well worth the time investment if you're going to be modding.

>>5621323
Yeah, the combination of Doom being easy on UV and GGGman crying about it being too hard are all probably people just playing it on UV and crying about it. Not to be a huge fag about e-celebs but Civvie is proving his superiority here again.

>>5621479
I'd second this, played the first ashes and it was fantastic. Great soundtrack, gunplay and atmosphere. Hard mode made ammo insanely scarce though. Is there a second episode or a fan continuation or am I forgetting something?

Also played through Quake 1.5 and loved it, shit was fucking amazing.

>>5621460
Is there a decent place that categorizes Doom mods? I want to check out more of them but it just seems like a mountain of information, and I'm only really interested in total conversions or map packs.

SIGIL v1.1 is out and officially free:

https://www.romerogames.ie/s/SIGIL_V1_1.zip

>>5621838
What did he fix? I assume the glitch with the eye switches getting stuck sometimes?

>>5621836
>Is there a decent place that categorizes Doom mods?
Not exactly but there are a fuckton on ZDoom's forums.
>I'm only really interested in total conversions or map packs.
So if you're not that deep into Doom you may not know, but you can absolutely mix and match weapon/enemy mods with maps to sort of roll your own experience. If you prefer build-like speed I'd suggest trying BURL TUMD (if you can find it) or Faspons. They work on most mapsets and alter both enemies and weapons.

>>5621838
I never noticed the how ripped carrmack looks in this photo

>>5621824
He probably will. His doom 2 review was only a couple weeks ago.

I'm reading Masters of Doom at the moment and apparently he was pretty buff back then.

>>5621863

the changelog in the file isn't complete tho
that changelog covers what flambeau and kb_doomer provided, but then there were a few more additional changes
from the top of my head: the e5m2 mandatory medkit pickup to open up the exit is now a bunch of health bonuses so people are drawn to it better
the inescapable bit of lava right next to the start area is now escapable
some DM visual crap was fixed
most important (covered in the changelog tho) is that the compat version now has a dehacked definition that stops the mastermind death from ending m8

I really hope Xaser's getting paid to work on Sigil. He's a good guy who'd do it for free but shit, Romero. Not like you haven't been raking in money on this.

>>5621280
Plutonia MAP07 has too many enemies for my lizard brain to handle. There's not enough rocket ammo for both the mancubi and the revenants, trying to kill the former with the SSG takes forever and generally takes away most of my health, and I don't know if it's even possible to kill the latter with the SSG given how high up they are. Is there a "trick" I'm not getting?

>>5621923
Pistol start?

>>5621520
I'm sure it was aware of how tongue-in-cheek some lines were (e.g. rambling about the environment in the middle of his killing spree), but there are multiple kinds of self-awareness. "This is at least a little cheesy but we're rolling with it because it's fun" self-awareness is different from "dude we're making something bad on purpose it's going to be a MEME" self-awareness. It's why any attempt at making a "sequel" to one of those low-budget hack films like Birdemic or Sharknado leads to all the charm being sucked out; to generalize, doing something bad because you think it will be good can often be charming, while doing something bad because you're trying to be "so-bad-it's-good" will always just lead to something both bad and bland.

>>5621928
Yeah, pistol start.

>>5621941
Gave it a shot. Not too tricky.
Pick the zombiemans off with your pistol after you've cleaned up some mancs. (Single click and you have perfect accuracy.) It's fine if you waste a rocket on the chaingunner. Rockets or SSG for the remaining mancs. Revs weren't so bad. Clean some of them up with rockets and SSG for the rest. Keep grabbing health from the elevators if you need it. Jump in the trench if you need a breather. Just keep moving and blasting until you feel it's safe enough to head to the upper level. SSG, dodge and weave and get the megasphere.

I'll admit, I cheesed the it when the archies showed up. Ran to a elevator, flames locked on to me as it came down. I built up some speed and ran over the elevator, archie attack hit me and made me jump. Cleared the trench and then I got the fuck out of there. Couple of chaingun boys and an arach by the exit. No problem. Level complete.

>>5621923
here's a trick: you can just barely get line of sight on the elevator barons from below
shoot one of them before you kill the last fatty to get him off the elevator, and you'll be able to get onto the elevator easily and have an easy time rocketing the bony bastards who haven't woken up and are still in their towers

Hideous Destructor players, could you please share what keybindings you're using? I have trouble finding a setup that I'm comfortable with, so I'd like to try some of yours

I like it when revenants die. They like it when I die. What a nice relationship.

>>5621965
>shoot one of them before you kill the last fatty to get him off the elevator, and you'll be able to get onto the elevator easily and have an easy time rocketing the bony bastards who haven't woken up and are still in their towers
That did the trick. I just ignored the archviles and booked it for the exit as soon as I hit the switch. Thank both of you anons for the advice.

I can already see why Plutonia is so strongly associated with revenants, holy fuck
After the first time (where I got killed by it) I somehow managed to avoid triggering the chaingunner teleport rush by the blue key every subsequent run. Is that normal?

>>5621736
Anon I just got to this stage and I feel your FUCKING pain
I'm really glad I allowed myself one mid-level save per map, it alleviates the pain since I can go back to that save, but I've still died half a dozen times to the pit

Alright rate how casual I am at Doom. I enable jumping, I have a binded key that gives me megaspheres when I'm at low health, I "give X card/skull" through the console when a boring maze segment happens, I resurrect whenever I die. I mainly use GZDoom as my main source port and I have a whole bunch of postprocessing effects enabled like FXAA, AO and tonemapping like Heji Dawson but no trilinear filtering that looks terrible. I play with the default dark sector lights, I mainly noclip to skip whatever boring part of the map I'm at, I use linetarget to know the name of custom enemies and mainly "summonfriend" monster whenever I can. Also I don't mouse look.

>>5622127
>I enable jumping

Brainlet here. I can't get sigil to work with the buckethead soundtrack...it keeps defaulting to the midi ost (which is great), but I want to hear the buckethead one. I'm dragging SIGIL.wad and the SIGIL_SHREDS.wad into gzdoom and I can't find the option to switch soundtracks...how do i do this?

>>5622127
You're what's wrong with the Doom community.

>>5622178
You're not meant to load both wads.

>>5622178
Try switching the order you're selecting the files.

>>5622180
yes you are.

>>5622181
>yes you are.
Oh shit, you're right. I misremembered how i loaded it.
Anyway, you're gonna want Shreds to be loaded After SIGIL itself.

>>5622178
>>5622180
>>5622181

Dude was always pretty buff.

Why do they even call it a megawad when it's only one episode? Aren't those supposed to be the full 32 levels (in case of Doom 2, at least)?

>>5622306
Romero's just wrong.

>>5622306
Megawad traditionally refers to any wad with 15+ maps in it, and Romero considers SIGIL to have 18 because each singleplayer map also has a separate deathmatch map included.

>>5622310
I see what he's thinking, but it still doesn't make it count as a megawad IMO.

>>5622316
It's a stretch for sure, but he's technically not wrong, which makes him technically correct, and we all know that's the best kind of correct.

if vanilla essence is the way to play, how am I getting 9 fps when its turned on. while regular gzdoom legacy 3.8 but with downscaled resolution brings me to a crispy 60+fps, picrel

>>5622352
probably because your processor is dog snot and can't handle the software renderer.

>>5621303
Ultimate Doom The Way id Did was a fucking good wad. I'm also sure that BTSX E3 will be released this year since we got the massive amount of screens, and "confirmation" that the wad is actually happening.

That's 4 good wads already. 2018 didn't have anything else interesting for me than Dimension of the Boomed.

Fuck, all of the Sigil 1.1 demos are desynced, at least on Crispy Doom. On Version 1.0 it only seemed like demo 3 had an issue.
It doesn't really matter all that much, but it upsets my tism.

>>5622398
They're probably deciding not to do a new demo reel until they're confident there's no more game breaking bugs.

I liked Sigil. Last map is kind of a joke on HMP.
I figure I should give it a go on UV with the patch, I never found the secret exit (which level is it on?)

I really liked the music by Buckethead.
Not the best mapset ever or anything, but I had fun.

I wouldn't say its THE way to play, but I really fucking love how I can get the Chocolate Doom look while also using gameplay mods

>play Scythe 2 because everyone says it's the bees knees

>difficulty increase later in the wad just massively bumps up monster numbers, makes combat a chore; Circle Strafing Simulator

>play Sigil because nothing better to do
>very confined, almost claustrophobic map design, pretty oldschool
>difficulty increase is done through dastardly enemy placement and player restriction, need quick thinking to overcome

I'm starting to think there's something to all of you bitching about newer map design trends.

Should I play Plutonia, TNT, BTSX, Ancient Aliens etc. with Final Doomer first time round or does it mess with the balance?

>>5622594
It does mess with the balance, but it doesn't mess with the fun

what in the fuck is this romero?

>>5622608
I did it.

>>5621442
For me Doom is much more enjoyable than Build games. There is almost no space for tactics in Build games, it's just all-or-nothing assault and the control / movement feels a bit clunky.
When I play Doom, I always feel "in control". I never had such feeling while playing Duke / Blood / Shadow Warrior.

>>5622435
>Not the best mapset ever or anything, but I had fun.

It really is. Sigil is more than just a mapset, it has visible artistic merits. You know, the thing that separates the true work of art from the random pretenders.

Sigil has lots of great ideas, all maps have their own narratives, lots of great design elements, not flawless by any means, but pleasure to play and look at.

Most mapsets/megawads are like... there. They are fun and all, but they couldn't manage to overcome the "fanwork" label. For instance, they usually overstayed their welcome, lots of repetitive areas and fight are in them.

Good example is Jade Earth. It's a really interesting map with an interesting design philosophy. But you know, it quickly loses its appeal when you fight the same hordes in the same rooms for 2 hours or more.

Ancient Aliens and other high profile wads suffer from this as well. Hard to tell the difference between Map05 and MaP19 or just pick randomly.

Sigil on the other hand clearly shows a master at his work. Romero clearly owed us with this release, he had his hellish snippets in the original game, but was too lazy to do a massive work of his own.

>>5622674
is there anything actually wrong with wads like ancient aliens being dedicated to one type of gameplay and one visual style

>>5622674
>Ancient Aliens and other high profile wads suffer from this as well. Hard to tell the difference between Map05 and MaP19 or just pick randomly.
Gonna have to disagree here. I found most Ancient Aliens maps were pretty distinct and memorable.

>>5621787
>and the private Doominati one
which one of them?

>>5622720
There's only one that I'm aware of, but it's dying.
Honestly a new /vr/ chatroom would be nice, as the irc was, last I checked, dead. I don't have the time to moderate such a thing, and I doubt anyone else does either, which is how these things flounder.

Saved this from a previous thread. Can someone tell me which wad is this, please?

How do you enable the Buckethead music in Sigil? Is it the COMPAT file?

>>5622761
SHREDS is the file. Needs to be loaded after SIGIL itself.

>>5622767
>SHREDS doesn't come with the base WAD download.
Wow, thanks John.

>>5622674
How dare you speak to me?

what the fuck was he thinking with this map

>>5622767
>>5622768
>>5622761
has any one uploaded SHREDS yet?

>>5622775
Check the thread.

>>5622768
That's because Buckethead wasn't doing it for free.

>>5622775
Check the OP

>>5622768
Do you really think Buckethead was letting John use his music for free?
Just check the Mega in the OP, look for "Sigil Registered Version"

>>5622608
I thought that part was good.

>>5622768
Yes, that was the point with paying.

>>5622782
Yeah, I accidentally downloaded the base version again. Thanks fren.
That begs the question, why not just pay him up front/after all of it was made or pay for each song?
He probably did that anyway but whatever.

None of the songs were written for the game, John pretty much went through his catalogue and picked out what he thought went best with the level.
Well, maybe that's not entirely true, I heard from somewhere that that theme was actually written just for Sigil, but I haven't looked into that to verify if it's true.

>>5622435

>>5622846
Ah i c thanks, using gzdoom so dont need compat I think

do u guys prefer the midi or SHREDS?

>>5622858
Holy shit dude, just listen to them both and see which one you like more.

>>5622858
While I agree with the other guy, here's my shit opinion because I like to listen to my own voice. Both are amazing, I prefer the buckethead soundtrack because I was already a buckethead fan to begin with. However the midi soundtrack fits the feel of classic doom a bit more.

>>5622858
I prefer the MIDI tracks myself, but that's mostly because I have a thing for MIDI to begin with, plus I do think Jimmy does good work.
The Buckethead tracks are pretty damn good, and if you're a fan you'll probably love that they're here.

Please share some Hideous Destructor pro-tips with me, fellow masochists

Do you always start with the Liberator in your loadout, since you can't find it out in the wild? Or do you use the mod that sometimes spawns full Liberators instead of Plasma Rifles?

Do you often keep a shitton of magazines, or do you only keep a handful and drop the rest?

When incapacitated (drop to the floor), is the only way to get back up to use a stimpack and wait like 40 seconds or so? Or can I do anything else?

Is the Slayer (double barrel shotgun) obsoleted once you find a Hunter (regular shotgun) that has semi-auto or even full-auto fire select?

And any other minor tips you wish you had known when you started, I guess. I'm loving it, but I'm in the dark to a lot of its nuances.

Mappers find them useful for player feedback

>>5622928
A clever, nifty invention to show your playthrough of a map by recording all your inputs, and storing them in a small file. Back in the 90's, capturing a video file of your computer was fairly out of the question/cumbersome, and the resulting file would likely be too large to distribute easily.

It is also used as evidence of speedruns, since they attest to the program not being modified at all.

>>5622896
Also, why can't I pick up anything from ammo boxes? I press Use on them, but it just makes them dance around. It's definitely not that my inventory is full, as you can see.

psst...

>>5622986
Your pockets can be full from other shit.
There's also an old version where ammo boxes and bulk grenade spawns were glitched and failed the inventory check too soon.

+Adding to this, what is the recommended Encumbrance setting? I have it at the 0.25 default right now.

Is there a way to revert to the old functionality of "shaking up" weapons on the ground for ammo instead of picking them up? Or are we stuck grabbing weapons and manually stripping them for ammo?

>>5622896
>Do you always start with the Liberator in your loadout, since you can't find it out in the wild? Or do you use the mod that sometimes spawns full Liberators instead of Plasma Rifles?
I don't really bother with the lib, the ammo's really heavy even if it's great at penetrating walls.

>Do you often keep a shitton of magazines, or do you only keep a handful and drop the rest?
A few on hand, a few in the backpack in case of a drought.

>When incapacitated (drop to the floor), is the only way to get back up to use a stimpack and wait like 40 seconds or so? Or can I do anything else?
You can fumble for other items. A berserk will spring you right back up on your feet.

>Is the Slayer (double barrel shotgun) obsoleted once you find a Hunter (regular shotgun) that has semi-auto or even full-auto fire select?
Matter of preference. Cycle failures when using the hunter set to auto are annoying.

>And any other minor tips you wish you had known when you started, I guess. I'm loving it, but I'm in the dark to a lot of its nuances.
Apply chainsaw to corpses to gib them and help keep them dead.
Use your derp's ability to hit switches and open doors liberally. Ping it to ambush mode before triggering it to keep it from wandering off or being attacked.
There's more you can do with an invulnerability sphere than picking it up.
You can get a rough estimate of how damaged a vulcanette is from the message when you pick it up. Note that dropping them causes some damage.

>>5623040

The only SIGIL review that matters.

What is Sigil's best soundtrack?

>>5623145
I found the midi to be more fitting if you're playing it as a continuation of the original episodes. The Buckethead tracks are good though if you're just doing it as a standalone episode and don't care about consistency.

>>5623139
Romero still knows how to be a dick with level design.

>>5622809
The first level theme has Romero in the title, I think its' safe to say that was written especially for SIGIL

What the fucking hell "demesne" means? Or "Abaddon"? Such weird titles.

>>5623169
>The Hebrew term Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן Avaddon, meaning "doom"), and its Greek equivalent Apollyon (Greek: Ἀπολλύων, Apollýōn) appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an angel of the abyss.

Apparently, to pick up ammo boxes (rockets, shells, 9mm, etc), you need to grab them while you're using your backpack, and THEN drop the ammo from your backpack to your floor so you can grab it yourself out of backpack mode. A bit cumbersome, not sure why Matt chose to do it that way

So midi wise, the Roland SC-55 pack (and a Roland SC-55 soundfont for Sigil until that gets a proper pack) is a good way to do Vanilla Doom Soundtrack. Now with Sigil having an alternate music pack, it obviously doesn't flow with the rest of the midi tunes. What's a good instrumental sound pack for Doom1/Doom2/TNT that would compliment the Buckethead soundtrack in Sigil?

>>5622896
>Do you always start with the Liberator in your loadout, since you can't find it out in the wild? Or do you use the mod that sometimes spawns full Liberators instead of Plasma Rifles?
Liberator's fairly common actually, it's on chaingun, plasma rifle, and sometimes backpack spawns (as well as occasionally being found inside backpacks). You'll never find the non-bullpup variant without putting it in your loadout, but I'd say the bullpup model is better anyway. The high weight of the gun and its ammo makes it pretty niche, so it's good to be able to stick it in your backpack and not have it weighing you down while you clean up trash with more common weapons.

>Do you often keep a shitton of magazines, or do you only keep a handful and drop the rest?
Just keep enough ammo for two or three reloads of each of my guns on hand. Around two or three times as much stored in a backpack once I've got one. I'll stack my pockets as deep as possible before exiting a level, since I can just drop most of it at the start of the next.

>When incapacitated (drop to the floor), is the only way to get back up to use a stimpack and wait like 40 seconds or so? Or can I do anything else?
Press firemode once you've pulled out a stimpack to cycle through your options. There's also an exploit you can use to deploy DERPs, HERPs, or use your fists while downed. Cycle through all available items until you're back to nothing on the screen, then hold Fire or Altfire and press 1 repeatedly to punch or use the lunge. You might need a dedicated bind to deploy robots while downed, I've never done it myself.

1/2, out of characters

>>5623139
>I'm impressed he got that much mileage out of just the Doom 1 roster.
Using all the monsters in the first game, and not just restricting yourself to some for one episode, you can actually do quite a lot.

Another example is Double Impact, it's an E1 replacer which uses all of Doom 1's monsters in its levels, and it's definitely one of the best single episode replacers for the first game.

>>5623257
Doom 1 Ep1 is on Phobos dude.

>>5623139
not that he had to wrap his head around it too much. there were no variations, no in-betweens, no options for creative combat ensambles or getting crafty with enemy placing in Doom 1. it's one boss monster, one tank, one mid tier ranged enemy, and one option for hitscan that hits *really* hard. and the player is stuck with a shotgun for most of that.

run diagonally into the window.

think when you're trying to charge at a door irl to bust it open, you don't do it head on. you back up a bit and run into it shoulder first. same principle for running. you run diagonally, like a cartoon character.

once you reach the top of the stairs, open up the secret wall to your left. it should lead you to a secret with a blue armor vest in it. don't forget to grab the red key before walking into the teleporter

>>5622896
>Is the Slayer (double barrel shotgun) obsoleted once you find a Hunter (regular shotgun) that has semi-auto or even full-auto fire select?
Slayer is more like a highly powerful sidearm while the Hunter is a low-end primary weapon. It's particularly good for ensuring the deaths of marines and ninja pirates (the full-size pinkies that fake their deaths). The Hunter handles small groups of zombies and imps extremely well.

>And any other minor tips you wish you had known when you started, I guess
Shoot enemies in center mass to score critical hits that deal significantly higher damage.
The tripwire function on frag grenades is best used by sticking the gum directly on the wall of a closet that's going to open, rather than running the tripwire parallel. It'll immediately trip the grenade as soon as the wall opens, rather than when the monsters come out and have already gotten away from the grenade before it explodes.
If you obtain a 7mm reloading machine or a Liberator, you'll automatically reload as many rounds as you have the resources for during intermission between maps. If you've finished a map and have a lot of brass and loose 4mm, just hit the exit to save yourself a lot of time.
Utilize the autorun toggle. When walking, your aim is far more stable than running and you'll continue to regenerate health without having to stop entirely.
When you're severely wounded and incapable of normal movement options like sprinting or jumping, you can still use the crouch slide and fist lunge to maneuver yourself to safety.
The radsuit will protect against imp fireballs and cacodemon lightning in addition to damaging floors. Balefire, guns, and other sorts of impacts like revenant fireballs or melee attacks will still fuck you up and destroy the suit, so take it off if you're expecting such threats.
Popping a stimpack before a berserk pack will greatly reduce your withdrawal period when berserk wears off.
Jump to hang up ladders higher than normal.

>>5622896
When dropping from a high place, put your weapon away, crouch, and then uncrouch as you fall. You can handle longer falls better when unarmed, though sometimes it's better to just deploy a ladder.
Speaking of ladders, when you reach the top of one, turn your view around as this can help you get onto the ledge easier.
You can gib corpses with your bare hands, just hold reload to keep throwing the distracting punch, this can take a few punches but it does work. Useful for making sure marines stay down and you have no chainsaw.
When second fleshing, hit the play dead key and lay on the floor, this makes second flesh work way better.

why though

>>5623459
actually you hold the sprint key to drop off from high places.

What I'm struggling with the most at the moment is inventory management I think. As long as I'm not in a red number (to the bottom left), I'm okay right? Or should I try to stay below a certain weight number no matter what?

I'm using the default 0.25 encumbrance setting.

>>5623514
>carrying that much shit
anon you might have a hoarding problem.

>>5623521
You should have seen me earlier, this was after throwing out a fuckton of things.

So should I always stay in the green numbers or what?

>>5623529
It helps for mobility when you need it, but it's not really necessary to carry all of the weapons. Especially the boss rifle and a blooper when you already have a rocket launcher, the blooper is obviously really light but it only holds one grenade at a time.

>>5623514
why do you have the boss rifle on
that thing's only good for ammo stripping

welp thats that

>>5623485
> dsp plays doom 2

>>5623514
you don't need that many weapons on you at all. think more about which ones see the most use, if you're carrying a vulcanette then you most probably won't ever need the brontornis for taking out heavy targets if they're slow enough. use up all its ammo (preferably on barons) and then discard it. lose the ZM66 while you're at it. grenade launcher also. you have a rocquette launcher. *maybe* keep the liberator.

you don't need two pistols either. neither a revolver. maybe keep the SMG just in case, that's enough. stock up on those pistol rounds to refill your mags. voila.

>>5621931
This. You can't make lightning strike twice like that. There's a very clear distinction between intentionally cheesy and cheesy unintentionally. I love the fuck out of cheese and 80's action flicks, but I don't think I could ever do them justice as I am now as just a fan. I'd have to look at everything they did, the mindsets they were in at the time, and their methods, but all I could end up making is an imitation of a genuine effort, not a genuine effort. If I did, it'd be a product of it's time, my environment, and so on, just like the originals were.

So if anything, them making a memey as fuck sequel would be the only way it'd end up because that's exactly what kind of shitty, plastic fucking era we live in. Everything's fake and trying to imitate other shit.

>>5623568
WOOOOOOOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO RUN??

Oh boy. Time to pay 10 bucks for midis converted into mp3s, everybody.
Fucking Romero. Just pay Jimmy yourself and then GTFO. How about that?

>>5623514
The default 0.25 encumbrance setting is rather forgiving and you'll pretty much be fine as long as you stay in the yellow. Red is when you start taking severe movement penalties. If you want to lighten the load, drop some of those redundant weapons like the Boss rifle and the grenade launcher. Your weight is better allocated to just a sidearm, one or two primaries, and a boss killer, and the rest can be used for ammo or inventory items. You can even forego the boss killer most of the time because maps don't tend to place tough enemies without also providing adequate firepower to handle them in the same map. A rocket launcher by itself with no additional ammo provided is already enough to handle two cyberdemons, three masterminds, or six barons.

Also, you have a total limit on pocket space, indicated by the bar in the bottom-left corner, but it doesn't display accurately for any encumbrance setting except 1.0. Once that was implemented, I just adapted to playing on 1.0 all the time. It's not too hard to get used to, the numbers are easy to remember. 400 is how much you can carry before any penalties are applied, 800 is when things get bad, and 2000 is a hard limit where you become barely able to move at all and can't pick up additional weapons anymore. The limits are increased by around 200-300 units when you pick up a soulsphere/megasphere or drink a potion. Pocket space is hardcapped at 600 units. Your backpack's 1000 units of space become way more valuable when it's almost twice what you can carry on hand and you can instantly drop it as one item when you need to move fast.

Are GZDoom devs and modders this retarded?

>>5623576

>>5621359
tangentially related but I really wish more people truly understood the concept of 'self awareness'. maybe then we'd stop passing awful modern comedy for genius work on the basis of

Dude can't even afford a hairdcut. Pay up.

> doom comic is nu doom
tell me how to time travel

Ok, anons. Tom Grindberg. The guy who inked and colored the Doom comic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Grindberg

I just want him do draw more Doomguy. Can't be impossible, right?

>>5623649
Durpalurp. Don't know if he colored it but whatever. Draw more Doomguy, guy.

>>5623576
The comic is older than you are.

>>5623586
It's not the same music.

how did they expect you to deathmatch here when it's so damn cramped

>>5623675
Romero played against himself when he made that. Only needs room for one person. Not like anyone else plays DM.

>>5623689
That's not Sigil.

>>5623694
Shit.

>>5623321
Upload this exact wad

>>5623328
Are you sure you have autorun turned on

>>5623328
What? Are you even running?

>>5623701
>>5623702
he just found out.

>>5623328
From a design standpoint it's teaching you that this is how "jumping" works in this game.
Just hold down shift, anon. You'll move faster.

or with fit to screen

>>5623743
so what is this mod? You show it off constantly.

>>5623586
what the fuck

>>5623749
Doom Radys

>divorced before new year

I must have chosen nightmare when I was born

>>5623576
Romeros writings in the text screens and manuals were always written in a campy edgey manner. God forbid he include the fan slogan

>>5623321
Please upload this WAD, comrade

>>5623667
He's doing some shill thing on twooter

where does SPIKED KNUCKLES come from

>hates quake 2 and half life

>>5623784
Dad gave them to you before you went to space

>>5623786
No one hates half life cept 1 autist

quake 2 I can understand, it's meh compared to 1

>>5623749
It's Doom Radys, made by Toooooasty who contributed to the JPCP megawad. It's a gameplay mode where you choose different anime girls to play as, including Yuki from the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, Sayaka from Madoka magica and Rena from Higurashi. Along with other OC characters like C.Kid depicted here, he is still working on updates for it as i'm playing an early alpha he released back in December although he has released earlier finished versions right now only a few characters from the earlier version has been implemented but the infamous cyberdog from an early version. It's a neat little gameplay wad that has more beefed up monsters like Arch viles that will instantaneously dash through the map, barons and hell knights having four arms and their fireballs will freeze you, zombiemen spawn other undead enemies and arachnotrons will climb up onto the ceiling to shoot at you from above and many more.
here is a link to one i have been playing but although some things have not been implemented yet not sure when the next update will be released

How do you play Action Doom 2 in GZDOOM?
I get an error that says:
Script error, "action2.wad:CASINOD" line 1:
Script error, "action2.wad:CASINOD" line 1:
Tried to define class 'Symbol' more than twice in the same file.

No clue who this guy is but he has some interesting games on there. Neat!

I'm sitting here in my late-20s after having done everything right wondering where it all went wrong. Never got into drugs, got good grades, got a job, still ended up jobless and alone because the world likes taking a dump on people. Shit happens, play doom. It'll get better or you'll die, then it's not your problem.

>>5623813
Try an older version of GZDoom

>>5623818
Ok' I'll try that

did all the 90's shooter follow a formulaic release pattern?

Cus they all seem to have 2 official expansions each.

>>5623757
>>5623815
Nice blogs, faggots

also my OTP of doom characters is C.Kid x Evil eye-chan.

>>5623757
well.... is it better to have loved and lost or what?

virgin here.

>>5623815
Was life any better when you were abroad?

>>5623821
Two expansions are for the very popular games, or for those with a very dedicated playerbase.

>>5623828
Absolutely. All memes aside the USA is the fucking best place to live on earth hands down, and now that I'm not there anymore I have significantly less opportunity, pay, and general happiness. I would literally surrender every cent I have and item I own for an american citizenship. I'm that confident that I could get it all back, and that it would be worth it.

>>5622758
Looks like Town Infection

>>5623857
What's this?

>>5623858
Looks like HXRTC, it's a clusterfuck randomizer.
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=48074

>>5623841
Sounds like you should look into getting a green card and/or work permit then. Work yourself up to getting a citizenship. Nothing to lose, right?

Lol fucking seriously? How was this NSFW?

>>5623583
>>5621931
I feel like the last thing to work at being "so bad it's good" is Tails Gets Trolled and most shitty webcomes because you can't tell if they're legitimate.
But once something cringy gets "self aware" the spark is gone.
And then you have stuff like BL2 and Dream Dadddy trying to be "ironic" and use forced meme humor and it's just bad.
I wonder if it has something to do with today's ironic humor, that in someway related to 2013 Shrek jokes and MLG montage parodies.
Meanwhile, most people couldn't tell Starship Troopers was satire back in the day.
It feels like something can't be "silly for fun" unless it's telling the audience about it in the most blatant way possible.

Literally impossible unless you work for an american company or get refugee status. I know all about the immigration system in the states my dude. You don't just get a green card or work permit, especially not if you're not from an absolute trashfire of a country. You cannot work your way up to citizenship without first getting into the country, and you can't get in *legally* without getting a job, and you can't do that unless you're a 200IQ genius double PhD specialist or work for an american company who will transfer you. Regardless of the rhetoric you may have heard, your borders are locked very tight, I assure you.
>>5623864
Well shit I guess I'll try it. I was hoping it was a more rebalance-y thing.

>>5623871
what the fuck are the mods doing? Chill mods.

>>5622319
I always wondered why Bethesda stoppde doing these digital Doom collections, then i remember most of them (not just bfg edition) either fuck up things in one way or another or don't do actual meaningfull shit to the point a switch port would be the opportunity to find a way to get Doom 64
>Sigil
I mean, it depends on how Romero's relationship is with those companies, compared to Carmack's
Whether or not they care that people spent money on it
And the licensing considering the artwork from Lovell and Buckethead/Jimmy's music

>>5623873
Oh wow that's hilarious, I didn't even notice. I guess I should have slightly cropped. Still ridiculous to get banned for that in a fucking DOOM general where you blow shit to bits with blood and limbs everywhere.

>>5623871
nipples.

>>5623875
Alright. I just like thinking that things can work out no matter what. Also I'm not 'murican. Just pulling stuff out of my ass here.

Now that the dust has settled and we can all safely admit Sigil is trash.
Will Doomworld give it is worst WAD of the year award?

>>5623887
Yeah no biggie dude. Surely I can get out of groceryland eventually.

>>5623875
easy to get in for Mexicans though, am eastern european ameriboo trying to get in myself, have American family but its still very hard, my family all got green cards from the lottery in the 90s, every single one of em, lucky cunts

im thinking either enroll in a uni then go through work and travel bullshit or find a desperate American girl on okculid to marry me

>>5623884
cartoon nudity isn't the same as cartoon gore, as silly as that sounds. there's no equivalency.

>>5623875
>Regardless of the rhetoric you may have heard, your borders are locked very tight, I assure you.
Horse shit, we have millions of illegals here. You're a law abiding dude, and I respect that, but having tight admissions and a tight physical border are two different things.

>>5623871
>admitting to ban evading

>>5623881
Romero just sold one of those Doomthesda figurine sets on his store for a ridiculous. I don't know if he's skating on thin ice deliberately or what but shit's hilarious. John Trollero.

>>5623904
*ridiculous price

>>5623903
yeah and?

>>5623903
>hdoom

And nothing of value was lost.

>>5623902
I did somewhat imply that I meant legally, but you have a fair point. A lot of the rhetoric I heard was dealing with people becoming legal. That shit just isn't even one tenth as easy as the average american thinks because they've never done it and most media lies about how it works.
>>5623893
Free advice, if you go to university it's going to cost you an arm and a leg so don't waste that time. Get as many internships as physically possible before going onto your extended work permit which continues from the F1 visa. If you don't have at least one job offer before your graduation date you've probably fucked up. Marriage is probably a no-go unless you hate yourself or are very lucky.

Anyways this is getting very off topic. Let's stop.

>>5623874
It's not better in countries where we have 'free' healthcare, trust me.

>>5623912
lol so tough

So What Episode 5 map do you guys like most? I like E5M5 the best

Honestly, it's not hard to evade a ban, janny :^)

>>5623904
I mean, they existed long before Bethesda and Zenimax owned id

>>5623912
>>5623924
>hdoom poster
>is chronically butthurt

Hmm yes I see

>>5623926
Sure. And that's what makes it funny. Not often you see Zenifucks taking the shaft.

Can we stop the shit flinging? There are several boards that are for inane arguing, we dont need a fight every thread

>>5623904
I don't have the full set, but I consider myself lucky to have some of the original pewters with the id software copyright on the bottom, before the prices of them skyrocketed.

>>5623929
I mean, I didn't even play HDoom. I was downloading a bunch of wads and I was just wondering if it was even worth downloading. I've seen worse shit in OP images stay up or hours. I think it's funny is all. And I guess I'm a little butthurt too.

Anyone have a pack of WADs that are must-have essentials?

>>5623947
OP does

>Delete every single reference to willpower in Hexercide
>It still runs fine
>Will power still showws up in menus
>still works
very confusing

>>5623952
If the mod is using ACS, it's probably still there in the compiled ACS code which you can't edit without recompiling

>>5623949
Yeah but I mean there's like hundreds of them in that Google Drive torrent. Wasn't sure if there was a smaller one that has mostly the more important ones but it's ok if there is none. Would rather just get a smaller pack.

>>5623826
>is it better to have loved and lost or what?
if you want to remember every night how nice it was while crying to sleep, yes

>>5623945
I remember that pink bunny link with his butt on display staying up for days

>>5623958
Mmmm guess so. Just wanted to see if I could port willpowers regen to con like in the current WoC. I'll look into what you use to compile it tomorrow I guess.

>>5623872
Irony is what lead to SEGA turning Sonic's social media presence to gamerbro pandering, the /pol/dditfuxation of vapor/synthwave, and gave Sham Shite a career.

It (probably) also gave us Lil Peep so maybe it ain't all that bad.

>>5623960
Well, try this. >>5621660
More of a map than a pack but you know how to follow a map, right?

Anon is offering you his virginity. Something to make you feel better.
Made you smile.

Thank you Anon

I downloaded a bunch of WADs and I would like to have it be in the GZDoom launcher. Is it possible to have it appear in the GZDoom launcher or do I have to drag-and-drop the WAD files over the .exe file?

>>5623986
use ZDL

so what do you guys listen to while mapping?
my podcast feed is dried up at the moment
