D-Do I count it? I didn't even know that was a thing though after looking it up I now understand this is a well-documented bug.

Hey. How's it going?
It's 2AM on a Saturday. A Beautiful summer morning here in Idaho.
So go on, post the stuff you're working on. Whether it's a new mod or some mapset, it's all cool. We've been dying to see it.
Just remember, all feedback is good feedback, let's keep it civil.

https://youtu.be/HmryVZ4ig3I

>>5625216
I haven't gotten enough done this week, fucked my sleeping habits up and I think I got a kidney stone which has laid me out.
I cleaned up the dithering on the arms of a few characters and I'm nearly done with the bomber knight. Still debating on a background, will most likely go with a brick wall of a dungeon or something like that.

>there's another Idaho poster here.
What the fuck.

>>5625214
Deathslides are a legit tactic.

>>5625216
I'm feeling a little better actually, I might actually have a screenshot to show for it this weekend.

>>5625214
It counts.

>>5625214
Why not? You pay for it by essentially pistol-starting the next level, so everything evens out.

>>5625234
I was already pistol-starting, so it seemed too "free."

Found a Polish interview with the Doom comic guy. Comic shows up in the slides but I don't know if he talks about it. Currently listening.

>>5625250
24:50

anyone here ever try wadsmoosher? any reason i shouldn't use it? and why does the doomone mod get laggy right near the end of the first episode? can it be fixed?

>>5625216
lots of work done this week, added...
+ damage bubbles one anon suggested
+ mist
+ options menu
also optimized rain a little bit, now you gan get pretty good fps even on big maps (mist drags down preformance on big maps sadly so if your computer sucks youll only get like 45-50 fps)

>>5625275
The Gantlet’s looking a bit darker than usual.

>>5625214
>>5625236
If you pistol starting you should consider it as proper option from start too. It's only fair.

>>5625275
Is that Bumi?

>>5625186
I installed the Vintage version of GZDoom (because I kind of need it due to a shitty computer) and now every fucking time I beat a level in any Doom game (with or without mods) it crashes GZDoom. This never happened before. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

(I haven't tried other Doom Engine games to see if this happens with them, incase that matters.)

Choose your side:

1. Eviternity

2. Sigil

>>5625304
its a map beautifier im working on meant mostly for vanilla/boom maps, it is inspired by bumi though

>>5625315
Why not both?

>>5625308
OK, I did a little more experimentation and discovered that it only happens when I use IDKFA (I was doing this in the first place because I was testing out some shit [exactly what is irrelevant]). I just now tried it again and just played it normally and it was fine. So then I tried using cheats (like I had been doing originally) to see if that was the problem and it seems like IDKFA specifically is the issue, whereas IDDQD works fine. Can I do anything to fix this? Maybe change the source port settings or... ? I'd hate to not even have IDKFA as an option and just any glitch/problem in general I don't want to leave unfixed if at all possible.

>beat sigil on first playthrough UV
>it's shit

>>5625321
No mods?

>>5625319
The correct answer.

>>5625324
Yeah, my attempt from a few minutes ago was without mods. I just tried it again with a mod (SIGIL) right after seeing your post and it works fine. With or without cheats it seems to be no problem. Except for IDKFA of course. That and that alone is fucking everything up and causing a crash every single time. But it's ONLY when I finish the first stage (I haven't tried level skipping and seeing if this is a problem with other exits or not). It always crashes at the level over screen.

>>5625323
If you think Sigil is "shit" you've been spoiled to the absolute cream of the crop of wads. It ain't stellar, but it ain't bad.

>>5625332
Well you certainly don't need GZDoom to play that. The Vintage version could very well be held together with melted hair and chewing gum.
Try Zandronum or regular ZDoom.

>>5625221
>>5625216
ENJOY YOUR POTATOES

>>5625334
I'd call Sigil middle of the road, it's not bad but it's not incredible either.

Feels like if it wins awards it'll be ones it gets by default because Romero.

>>5625332
OK, I just tried it again with SIGIL and even with IDDQD enabled I could beat the first stage just fine. But when I tried to add the Bolognese gore mod on top of SIGIL then it crashed upon finishing the first level.

What in the fuck is going on?

>>5625346
It'll win awards because of its historical significance and the utterly insane hype surrounding it. It's as close as we'll ever get to an official Episode 5. And how could you not love it for that alone? But it sure as fuck won't win awards for its quality. It has quality atmosphere and interesting settings, but the level design hovers around "above average" level quality.

>>5625347
Why even play if you're just going to cheat?

>>5625323
Now play it on HMP

>>5625352
>It's as close as we'll ever get to an official Episode 5. And how could you not love it for that alone?
It's just one dude recycling a lot of ideas, and in some ways it feels kind of hollow, especially the secret level.

If it's getting awards for hype it should get the "only mildly lived up to the hype" award.

>>5625341
I ALREADY DID

>>5625354
I only even noticed this problem when playing with cheats enabled for purposes of testing out some shit in certain mods. The fucking point is that IDKFA shouldn't be causing crashes. It doesn't matter if I'm not going to normally use it or not.

>>5625347
I've been trying different combinations of mods/cheats and so far I've had The Ultimate Doom work just fine with or without IDKFA in the first 2 levels, but then I tried it again and it crashed after level 1. What the fuck is going on here? Does anyone have any idea what the fuck could be causing this?

>>5625216
I decided to restart a mapset I worked on a while ago and never released. I'm not exactly an expert mapper or even released a map, but it's nice to work on.
It's a space-themed mapset. This is the start of the first map - Escape Wing.

>>5625370
The point is that it got a fuckton of people extremely excited in a way that few Doom mods have ever done. And THAT will win it awards. Call it sentimentality or whatever you want, but people were hyped for it and that counts for something. Doesn't change the fact that its level design is just OK, but it'll still win awards one way or another. It means a lot to a lot of people that it even exists. And that's why it'll get votes by the shitton in the Cacos.

>>5625386
https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom-vintage/

>>5625394
This is one of the titular escape pods, and the one you actually spawn in. The others have monsters, or is barricaded up.

>>5625386
Try using the give all command in the console.

>>5625395
I suppose that's Romero's real specialty in the end, hype.

>>5625396
I'll try reinstalling the newest version and see what happens.

>>5625403
I tried the first level of Doom II four times with various combinations. Here are the results I got:

"Give All" + IDDQD = crashed

IDKFA + IDDQD = crashed

IDKFA = didn't crash

IDDQD = crashed

IDDQD wasn't a problem before and now it suddenly is. I have no idea what the fuck is going on. pic related is the error message I got for one of the crashes. I tried it again after that to compare and the error message was slightly different in the number following "Address" but (unless I missed something) I think it was the same elsewhere.

How do you tell if you're supposed to use mouselook for a wad or if its meant to be used wo it?

>>5625405
And being a dick with enemies.

>>5625426
You read the txt file. Does it say you're supposed to use it? Use it. Doesn't say anything about it? Don't use it.

But really, play however you want. Damn.

Any doom wads that take place in cool forest or other similar areas?

>>5625323
this is true
Romerofags are unable to deal with how shit it is
>but g-g-git gud
>but it was never meant to be anything special
>but the buckethead ost makes it worth it
COPE

>hating on based sigil

>>5625426
Vanilla/Boom Compatible/Limit removing are in requirements = no mouselook, jump, crouch

ZDoom/GZDoom/Eternity/Zandronum in requirements = it's okay to mouselook, jump, crouch.

If you aren't sure - open it up in GZDoomBuilder 2 and it will tell you the map format.

>>5625456
You’re supposed to play on Hurt Me Plenty first.

>>5625308

>>5625475
Who's the guy with the bat?

>>5625490
Taradino Cassatt

>>5625495
That’s Taradino? Almost didn’t recognize him.

>>5625475
I don't recognize anyone on the bottom row aside from Serious Sam.

fuck thought i was playing doom not touhou

>>5625506
And Postal Dude?

>>5625501
Seems to be more based off the sprite than anything else but it fits enough with the character and weapons.

Chronological order is a bit iffy mind you, ROTT came out days before Heretic.

>>5625506
I believe guy on the right is from painkiller, guy to his left is postal dude (cat on a gun was the giveaway) Kiss looking dude... Is he from kiss psycho circus ? I dunno, and the angel could be from requiem avenging angel but I'm just pulling that from my arse, I barely have any recollection of this game. I guess the guy with the bat is from rise of the triad, Taradino Cassat or something ?

>>5625516
I'd have to say Requiem Avenging Angel too, fits the sort of time scale being a 1999 release.

>>5625475
>>5625516

Guess I was right. Damn that's a random-ass choice.

>>5625475
Wolf3D/SOD, Blake Stone, Doom, Heretic, Chex
Hexen, ROTT, Duke3D, Quack, Shadow Warrior
Blood, Redneck Rampage, Turok, Half-Life, Deus Ex
Requiem : Avenging Angel, Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child, Serious Sam, Postal 2, Painkiller

>>5625528
I don't think that's Deus Ex, I think it's SiN

>>5625530
Oh yeah, I always forget the player in that wasn't some titty chick.

>>5625475
>Gets less and less recognisable over time

Sums up the FPS genre

>>5625536
I wouldn't say a lot of people know what the shit Blake Stone was these days, which is a shame.

jesus

>>5625403
>>5625417
I tried it again with just "Give All" and it didn't crash. This shit is weird and doesn't make any sense. I have no idea what could be wrong, but again I'll reinstall everything later and see what happens.

>>5625551

>>5625536
Bottom row is mostly pretty solid.

>>5625475
This should be the OP pic in the next thread. Beautiful stuff.

Best Paddock track on Sigil?

Best Buckethead track on Sigil?

>>5625475
>>5625186
>>5625187
USE THIS: >>5625571 AS THE OP IMAGE IN THE NEXT THREAD.

>>5625627
probably a cliche choice but i love paddock's e1m1, e5m1 rather

>>5625571
>Every single one is a white male

It was a better time.

>>5625627
Buildor 2 or Melting Man from Buckethead are very classy. The new song used for E5M1 (Romero One Mind Any Weapon) is the most annoying, Grabbag tier wankery.

Paddock? Probably the one on the secret level.

>>5625635
there's a native american and a chinese man right there

>>5625635
Pollacks aren’t white.

>>5625646
And a jew. Funny you didn't mention that, huh?

Oh, and a literal giant square of sentient wheat.

>>5625672
Ok then

Is there anything that even comes close to the feeling of Caleb throwing dynamite, but In Doom?

gzdoom updates so often, when do you guys update yours?

>>5625437
so I found skywood, what the fuck

>>5625721
when a mod i want to play doesnt work with my current version

>>5625635
Turok, and Sin-guy aren't white.

>>5625739
I could never tell if John Blade is a really light skinned black guy, or just a white guy with dreads.

>>5625721
Whenever there's a cool new feature desu

>>5625721
Never, I add one to the pile when I have whenever I need it but I don't remove them, apart from the ones with the potential hard drive killing exploit on them because fuck Graf for that.

>>5625742
Sin takes place in the future amazing American utopia of full race mixing and multiculturalism.

He's the embodiment of the future American male. A truly ambiguous mixed race. An amalgamation of every genetic strand. It's beautiful and it's the future you fucking biggot piece of shit. The white race is done. You're being replaced with something more beautiful.

>>5625360
What's with the Quake background? Is it a mod that ports demakes Quake maps for Doom or what?

>>5625739
>>5625742
>>5625759
Videogames.

>>5625759
I don't know if private police forces are especially utopian. Plus he's pretty much the only character that looks ambiguous like that.

>>5625627
Jimmy = M2 or M5
Buckethead = M3

>>5625315
eviturnity is the easy choice, but sigil on hurt me plenty is pretty good anyway.

>>5625721
I don't even bother with GZDoom anymore, honestly.

Goddamn it we finally started talking about race in this thread. I'm disappointed in all of you.

>>5625779
Alice (Jimmy M5) sounds like a Blood soundtrack.

Quell the Beast (Jimmy M3) sounds like a Duke Nukem track by Lee Jackson.

Adrenaline in the Blood (M9) sounds like a campaign song for Donald Trump.

>>5625797
Hate Machine (Jimmy M1) also sounds like a Lee Jackson track, but for ROTT instead of Duke.

>>5625759
JUST REPORT THIS FAGGOT FOR TROLLING AND/OR OFF-TOPIC POSTING AND DON'T REPLY TO IT

Is Sin: The Movie any good?

>>5625816
>that Archiville

>>5625884
It's okay if you want an OVA with some gore and action, and you liked SiN.
It alters the story a fair amount, like how J.C. is an adult in the field and John was forced to kill him because he mutated. There was also some little girl/experiment that Elexis's father created that she's trying to capture.

What the fuck?

How did I not know you could do this?

>>5625894
holy shit

>>5625884
Opens with one of the characters from the games being killed off just so it can replace him with a character who is almost exactly the same, but an anime girl. Make of this information what you will.

>>5625894
is that laser being blocked by pepper spray

>>5625894

>That two Archville showdown is UAC Ultra at the beginning of the WAD
And here I thought I was good at video games.

>>5625892
You're supposed to access that secret by using the pushwall, but you can only activate ROTT's pushwalls from one side, so if you found the more clever method of getting in there using the jump pad, you'd get stuck. You could probably rocket jump out with a less extreme weapon than the Excalibat.

>>5625903
sounds like a step up.

>>5625870

>>5625869
Dunno if it could be considered an alternative to GZDoom specifically, but I usually just use Eternity. But I also only play maps.

Playing as Caleb using Samsara addons

>>5625721
what I do is use Zandronum if the mod works in that
if not Zandronum, then the final ZDoom build
and if not that, then I settle for a GZDoom build
I don't keep GZDoom up to date because sometimes a mod breaks with a new version; I just have different versions for running different mods. It's kind of a mess. Like my formatting.

Blood Ex is a shitty port. No wonder that vasyan likes it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1DmRuvHwJc

she seems to be the only thing some people recall from this game

i don't have a problem
you have a problem

>>5625958
She was basically all the advertising for the game.

>>5625958
Sure, it was overshadowed by Half-Life, but I feel like the game still had plenty of memorable moments. She does kind of stand out though.

I finished Quake on Hard and Nightmare difficulties, such a fantastic game.
Now I want more, what map packs would you guys recommend ? What are the classics that one must play ?

>>5625996
There's also MALICE, which is pretty corny in all honestly, but worth a look if you want to see some early attempts at cutscenes in an FPS, along with some expanded interactivity in the original Quake engine.

>>5625949
The dynamite physics don't feel as nice though.

you're going to have to explain

>>5625985
They haven't even gotten the paperwork yet.
They either change their name to avoid the whole thing, or they fight it. What iron maiden (I don't care if it is just a handlers decision, it's their fault ultimately) is asking for is unreasonable, so I hope if they fight it iron maiden loses.

>>5626103
if they fight it, won't that mean a delay?

>>5626103
>(I don't care if it is just a handlers decision, it's their fault ultimately)
it isn't but it would be really, really convenient for them to put their foot down and stop it from happening before it starts.

Yes.

Why does everyone keep making mods for gzdoom? Are we the only ones who know that it's bad? How do we spread the word so that gzdoom dies and people move on to other source ports?

>>5626167
There's literally nothing wrong with GZDoom. The default settings are shit but that's easily fixed with 5 seconds in the options menu.

>>5626167
>Why does everyone keep making mods for gzdoom?
ZScript > everything else
>Are we the only ones who know that it's bad?
No, but it's also not nearly as bad as people say if you use stable working versions.
>How do we spread the word so that gzdoom dies and people move on to other source ports?
Good luck defeating German autism. You want GZDoom dead, tell the Eternity guys to hurry the hell up with Aeon.

>>5626167
does anyone actually care what we think around here?

>>5625323
Pics or it didn't happen

I vaguely recall his heritage being described as from 8 different places.

>Ranger
I guess white? He vaguely looks like Robert Z'Dar though, which suggest cherubism, and thus maybe not the apex of genetics. Possibly a genetically engineered soldier.

>Lo Wang
Asian, and outright a crude mix of various Asian cultural stereotypes.

>Redneck Rampage guy
A caricature of white trash.

Native American.

I'm getting miffed everyone calls Chex Guy anthromorphic cereal. He's clearly a human wearing a chex-based suit of armor. I mean, the guy eats cereal to get 200 health, he's not a walking talking chex nugget.

>Yellow simpsons face

>>5626207
I didn't comment on a few, because I couldn't actually think of a lot to say about some of them, and some I didn't recognize.

Doomguy is Caucasian looking, but beyond that he's never been defined much in the games, because really he's meant to be a blank slate for the player character.
This means that a skin which makes him black, or a woman, technically isn't incorrect, because you're just supposed to immerse yourself into the game.
Most people don't feel a need for added detail like that though and insert themselves into the game like this fine anyway, which is why you don't see a lot of mods like that and little demand for them (this goes for both blank slate vessels and for more defined characters).

Caleb sounds kinda like an anglo name, but I don't think they ever described his heritage in detail. In fact he could be some orphan of indeterminate origin who just grew up into a vile thug.
A generic white looking American in the 1920s could be anything from a Scandinavian, to a German, to a Brit, to some manner of Hispanic, plausibly a mix.

*makes /vr/ seethe*

>>5626226
He wears the Chex as armor, that much is true, but I'm not so certain he's supposed to be a human. Maybe some kind of alien.

>>5626239
tbqh none of this really matters and we're just feeding the racebaiting fag who started this.

It helps that my expectations were quite tempered to begin with and I know what to expect based on Romero's existing Doom maps, and I think he pretty much hit my expectations exactly on the spot.

>>5626261
Yes, it's literally just one catamite from RPGCodex.

If it didn't have Romero's name on it, I doubt I would've even played it. I tend not to bother with Doom 1 mapsets.
But in the event that I do play it, I'm sure I'd still have my opinion that it's generally decent, with only a couple duds.

Neat to see the tables turned on the cyberdemon. Poor bastard barely even had the opportunity to shoot back.

>>5625259
Wadsmoosh is pretty good. The only real gotcha is master levels, nerve, tnt, and plutonia have their own map prefixes as well as song prefixes (t_ for tnt and p_ for plutonia). So if you use music packs you'll need to crack them open and change 'd_' to 't_' or 'p_' for final doom.

So which soundtrack do you prefer for Sigil, Buckhead or Jimmy?

>>5625725
WAD name?

>>5626259
I'm still disinterested in it with it being made by Romero.

If it had been a project with him, Sandy, American, Tom Hall and maybe a few others then maybe I'd have had interest, but him alone? Did nothing to get me hyped, apparently this was for the best.

>>5626259
I appreciate what Romero did.
But I don't get why this got hyped so much.
It's not that the maps suck or are too difficult. The fact that just because Romero made this WAD makes people go nuts really confuses me...

Am I the only one who thinks it is important to judge a WAD by it's content, not by the creator?

I would argue SIGIL is too short, but is difficult enough and doesn't pamper you with tons of meds and ammo.
Gonna try a playthrough with complex and LCA next.

>>5625473
It's still only somewhat better than E4 regardless of difficulty.

I know using non period authentic soundfonts for game midis is haram, but god damn Arachno soundfont makes DOOM midis sound rockin

So, it seems like Sigil's art was not made for the mod itself, but by an already existing piece of art by some artist called Christopher Lovell.

I don't see this guy's name anywhere in the credits. Did just Romero simply stole this guy's work, sold boxes of it, and didn't even mention him anywhere?

>>5626376
>probably nothing you dont know already
Depends on the subject. For Doom or quake, yeah probably not, but for a lot of other things, like monkey island or what have you, there's a good amount of details he had I was unaware of.

>>5626438
>Did just Romero simply stole this guy's work
He's credited on Romero's website and such.

>>5626405
>Am I the only one who thinks it is important to judge a WAD by it's content, not by the creator?

Right, but SIGIL is still better than like 99% of usermade content for Doom. The maps have great artwork (except a few hiccups like the Lost Soul maze in M7 or the the secret level). The maps have their own personality. They are memorable, and once you play through, you will remember the entire thing for a long time. Lots of inventions, great ideas that will be copied by users in their future hackwork.

Honestly, SIGIL along with NRFTL is clearly the best mapset ever in Doom, and not because of the author/official tag. They are just vintage Doom.

>>5626438
Romero just licensed it for Sigil. Same for the Buckethead music; nothing was made specifically for this release.

>>5626453
Well, it's weird that he didn't mention him in the wad credits, since he used his artwork everywhere.

>>5626461
Jimmy did one track for Sigil, the rest of his was re-purposed too.

>>5626042

>>5626384
Jimmy for playing, buckethead for actual music listening. I have two ZDL scripts. One where all the the music is the Roland music packs for classic midi and another where it's all the metal remakes from the Brutal Doom addon section as well as Sigil Shreds. Wadsmooshed of course.

>>5626384
Buckethead's music doesn't fit with playing Doom, because it wasn't written with Doom in mind.

>>5626501
It does fit Doom. You just need some mods to make it look modern like Beautiful Doom. And AO/Bloom enabled.

>>5626508
gross

>>5626508
Beautiful doom is ugly, smooth doom accomplishes the same thing but better and more vanilla styled.

>>5626508
It perfectly fits with that vaseline pack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeiVeb4zwqA

This music is just as bad as those crappy 3d models.

>>5626526
>This music is just as bad as those crappy 3d models.

Only the first track is bad. The rest are quite good.

>>5626526
It's just so erratic. It ends up being distracting when actually playing.

>>5626456
>The maps have their own personality. They are memorable, and once you play through, you will remember the entire thing for a long time.
I don't think so.

The only reason SIGIL will be memorable is because Romero made it and for no other reason.

I want you to imagine the following:
What do you think would have happened if Romero decided to make SIGIL without ever mentioning it, then once it's finished, he would release it anonymously or under a different pseudo name on doomworld, zdoom or /vr/?
There would be criticism because of the length of each map and difficulty settings ("durr its too easy/hard") and praise because of the music and map style, just like any other of the 200.000 maps so far.
Then once the dust has settled, everybody would have forgotten this map pack ever existed in the first place.
SIGIL could only dream of ever getting a Cacoward.

Honestly, the only logical conclusion is:
SIGIL is only getting praise because of Romero. That's it. Period.

>>5626521
Beautiful doom is better. It has brightmaps for monsters and better quality sounds.

90s wads are so fucking weird. I don't think "A Warm Place" fits shooting hordes of demons. Would totally love to make a megawad centered around NIN music though. Imagine shooting up a demon cathedral to The Hand That Feeds or something. That'd be so cool.

99% of usermade content for Doom doesn't includes inescapable lava pits in the dark, The Chasm-tier ledge-walking, fighting several barons with only a shotgun forcing you to search for secrets so the game can be enjoyable, so, you know, you are objectively wrong. This wad is infested with absolutely everything this community hates, and you only turn a blind eyes to these things because it was made by Romero.

You are fucking clueless and has no proper understanding what makes a WAD great or not.

Then tell me anon, which are the WADs other than NRFTL which can be sold as an official expansion?

Rules:
>No hacking with monsters/weapons/textures/palette
>No clusterfuck many mappers
>More or less linear leveldesign, or something that has easy progression for non autists
>No rip and tear, or slaughter, that's not Doom
>No copycat products like DTWID or NEIS

>>5626645
>>5626651
I don't really mind HL because even during the scripted scenes you were still "in control". Also the game wasn't strictly linear and you could (and had to!) go there and back again.
Pure maze-oriented game play (like Doom) is also very limiting in its own way.
For me (mainstream) FPS games died when they definitively became interactive movies sometimes in the mid-00s.

>>5626636
>The Chasm-tier ledge-walking,
Only in M7 ending. Big deal.

The "community" is full of retarded virgins and trans people, who live their lifes for Doom, and think rip and tear is the only way of playing. They are objectively wrong. Sigil is for normal people, who only play notable wads, and have life otherwise.

>>5626696
>"No anything I don't like and none of the things I do like that otherwise qualify"

The rules I said are absolutely must for a commercial add-on, at least 20 years after release (TNT and Master Levels were hot garbage, but the game was new then).

NRFTL clearly qualify as it was made by only two people (means no clusterfuck design), proper difficulty, different levels, not just the same shit over and over, no hacking with the game's assets, maps are no copycats, but totally new and fresh.

Sigil also qualifies. Every map offers something you didn't see earlier, except maybe the secret level.

It's your turn. You're ID. Now you want an official episode for Doom 2's 25th birthday. Which would be your pick? From the past 20 years, pick something.

>>5625978
Gonna suggest Scourge Of Armagon and Dissolution Of Eternity as well, very fun.
Dimensions Of The Past was pretty nice too, it was a free episode that Machinegames made in celebration of Quake's 20th birthday.

Everyone always talks about Arcane Dimensions, and I intend to check it out.

>>5626710
>pick something
Why, so you can get mad that it has more than one author? Criticize the map design because it's not simple enough? Disqualify it for any other reason you make up or feel like using because your "rules" are vague and retarded? Piss off cunt.

>>5626717
I won't say anything, I promise, just pick that fucking thing. You can have your own rules. You're ID and you want something to release commercially.

Anybody try UDTWID yet? Replaces Thy Flesh Consumed. I'm on E4M4 rn and it's night and day how difficult it is from the regular one.

Am I the only one who thinks Sigil is much better than the abomination called "Perfect Hatred"? That was an ugly, unplayable level desu. E4M6 is a different thing, I can see it in Sigil with a few scattered eyes and a Sigil type ending.

>>5626745
>Boi assuming you're not trying to meme me here
No. I just think Sigil is better than anything so far for Doom and NRFTL was also great. And I never played PWADs that are as good as these (inventitive, fresh, vintage style, coherent visuals - not too many authors). Single maps like Arcadia Demade are good, but not commercial good.

What I loved in recent Blood remaster is that there's an option to preserve y-shearing for freelook, just like software render. Is it possible to replicate that effect in GZDoom's OpenGL renderer?

>>5626748

Didn't see anything in the sticky, and first time here - recently grabbed Blood and Shadow Warrior and I'm getting really awful.... motion sickness? Part headache, part nausea. This was never an issue for me in the past. I remember playing the original Doom, Q1/2, and Hexen without any issues - and still play plenty of FPS games now. I've googled this and heard a variety of explanations for the occurrence and even more remedies, but I thought I would ask here and see if the subject matter experts had any info.

>>5626827
lol you have bitch eyes

>>5626820
Former has been done in some maps, to some extents anyway, I think Don't Mess With Hell has it a bit, latter is done in shit like D4D for the closest accuracy (becoming more and more inaccurate but still) and anything from Lithium to Wrath of Cronos to Trailblazer to DRLA for other RPGish upgrade systems.

>>5626827

Arcane Dimensions without a doubt. Also The 2018 X-mas Map Jam, similar to AD but smaller in scope. Rubicon Rumble (not to be confused with rubicon and rubicon2) is also AD tier in quality. Theer is also a fuck ton of Map Jams the community has made over the last few years. The Jams not as great as AD in terms of scope and quantity of new mechanics, but they are still worthwhile once you blow through all the high profile stuff.

Dude has the same problem Gman did. Played it on UV first. HMP is the way to play first. After watching civvi and having played through twice now, once on HMP and once on UV I can say that HMP was the way the episode was designed.

His review and Gman's (well Gman is a fucking cunt and has no idea what he's talking about anyways) suffers from them both forcing UV. This is like if you reviewed all of DOOM while only playing on nightmare. Imagine giving Doom and negative review because you only played it on Nightmare.....

Sigil updated to 1.1

I'm gonna guess wider FOV would be better. Blood has options for this, so I'll try it there first.

>>5626730
I've played most of those but hadn't heard of Moonblood. Pretty great wad so far, good taste anon.
The Moonblood guy says he was inspired a bit by Mano Laikas which is another one I hadn't heard of but it also looks promising if you want to check that out.

Chainworm Commando. Really, this thing was just vomit inducing. This guy really thought toliets or train stations look good with Doom textures. He really think it.

And people say this pile of crap can be sold commercially. Mishmash of ripped textures from other games (automatic DSQ), ugly, nonsensical room, annoying gameplay, it wants to be a clishe Duke 3D usermap trapped with Doom 2 assets.

Yeah, and he thinks unseeable stairs as mandatory progression is good.

Stops polluting my eyes after suffering through the third map. Didn't even try, just IDDQD, and fuck it.

Let's go back to Sigil to see something that don't destroy my poor eyes.

is there a change log anywhere?

>>5626849
I get the feeling that even if they reviewed it on on HMP, both of them would have still sucked at it, neither seem to play with much finesse or skill for people who spend so much time with Doom stuff and FPS games in general.

>>5626863
Uhm, my grammatical mistakes, at least 10 in this post. But fuck it, this thing was so bad, it would be the perfect torture machine for the military.

>>5626827

Do you wear glasses? After I got mine, my "acquired" motion sickness (I was playing Blood and started to feel nauseous with every FPS since) went away with pretty much everything besides Shadow Warrior. I had headaches episodes playing Bioshock on PS3 because of the screen tear + scavenging in the dark prior to "acquire" motion sickness.

>>5626869
I agree with Gman but not sure about CARUSLIV3S having only watched this sigil video. Fuck I could only watch a few Gman's....that dude and his fans are literal cancer.

>>5626884

God, what an insecure faggot.

>ggman:
sounds annoyed even when happy with games, can fuck off for that

>civie
awful soundmixing, retarded gimmicks, ugly facecam thing, at least has good opinions on games when he talks about them and not his weird made up character

>icarus
remarkably bad at the games yet he alway picks the second to last mode then whines its hard, fuck off

>>5626880
That's interesting. I don't wear glasses unless I'm reading.

>>5626884
Icarus at least tries. His mod reviews are interesting, and I enjoy watching him suffer through Soaring Comet difficulty on Golden Souls 2.

>>5626889
I like that Civvie caught the Blood reference in Postal Redux.

>>5626893

Scihub and Library Genesis fueled research demanded its price. I hope it works for you like worked for me.

Looks good, simple but well done. I would put something to break all the brown, especially in the first screenshot.

>>5626889
>ugly facecam thing
you mean his weird helmet? I dont recall him seeing his mug in any of the videos other than a still image

>>5626906
I just find it painful watching him miss something obvious or important with near enough every single thing he reviews.

>>5626239
Black Doomguy was called Phobos in Quake 3. I wish they would retcon him in.

HUUH

>>5626960
Doom 3 already introduced to idea of playing as someone other than Doomguy in 3 campaigns, so I don’t see why not. Maybe Phobos could have some weapons and abilities that are exclusive to him.

>>5626960
And Crash, the Doom Lady.

Alright boys let's try this again, this time a little earlier.

Get doomseeker and zandronum, my friend.

i went off the rocker and wrote a depth sorter and a poly renderer in fucking zscript

>civvie
He's fixed his sound mixing a long time ago and reuploaded a bunch of videos (I think just Pro Postal 2) with fixed sound levels. He doesn't really use the mugshot thing at all anymore. Not sure if the new cartoonish avatar he uses now is any better though, the helmet thing at least had some original personality. I like the character otherwise, although that's subjective, it's spread out in the videos lightly.

Carmack? It's more likely than you'd think.

Christ, plasma is worthless in deathmatch.

How long until we can play a different wad in the automap?

>>5627032
>but why
A) to see if I could B) i get obsessed with weird shit when I'm modding
it probably will take too much performance to be practical

>carmack is that u
no, he's a rational and sensible person

>>5627023
How does it work at a high level?

oh boy cant wait to look for the no info of which version of gz this worked for when you got bored of updating it as updates break it 5 times

SICKO MODE

ZScript support for Zandronum fucking WHEN?

>>5627030
Doom 64 is heavily underrated.

>>5627023
I seriously question the worth of doing this, but it's impressive nonetheless. Is that done in the HUD or did you go full madlad and somehow hook it into a draw event in an event handler?

>>5626167
make a port with pascal language. everything with pascal
everything

>>5625186
Does anyone recognize this WAD? It's a single map replacement for MAP01 - Entryway.

I have it saved as "darkmoon.wad", but I must have deleted the txt like a dumbass or it didn't come with one. I've tried searching for it online to find out who made it etc, but I've only found unrelated projects.

Does pic related ring a bell for anyone?

>>5627048
version "3.7" until current version, as specified in the base zscript file.

>>5627068
The entire hud is event handler based. And yeah, there's no utility at all for this poly drawer. Just experimentation and fun.

>>5627072
Wasn't that a terry trap posted here a really long time ago?

>>5627072

Maybe search through the .wad itself, or check for wads with similar filesizes?

>>5627074
>The entire hud is event handler based
You crazy fucker, at this point you should just look into the actual ZS hud code because it's probably easier.

>>5627076
>>5627075
No text inside the WAD, just map stuff.
Doesn't look like a terry WAD. This is the map in pic related.

>>5627080
what is things

>>5627083
A big ol' numbers table

>>5627078
>You crazy fucker, at this point you should just look into the actual ZS hud code
I have. The ZS status bar code is nice and clean for doing simple huds with, but the menu code (as in the main menu, options menu etc) stuff is absolutely disgusting. I'm using a library called "zforms" which is a bitch and a half to learn but is then convenient to work with. Has built in classes for buttons and windows and whatever.

The fact that every single hud object is drawn through a single call in a RenderOverlay override that cascades through arrays of arrays of arrays of hud elements might interest you. And then there's a second cascade for ticking them since they don't tick by themselves, and a third for passing player input.

>>5627092

Without nostalgia and whatever you think of the content creators, do you think some WADS play better with stuff like BD or other fast-paced gameplay mods?

>>5627087
disapoint

>It's ANOTHER "press a button to get and Revenant + Archiville" map!

Oh boy, how original.

>>5627101
Older, easier wads play better with difficulty enhancers. After running through E1 about 1000000 times it can practically put me to sleep in vanilla.

For those that care SmoothDoom just updated. Fixes most of the major bugs, no more zombie men corpses with hitboxes and the shotgun has the correct data now.
Also it no longer replaces the hud by default so no more conflicts with wads that add custom huds.

>>5627101
>BD
No.
>Other mods
If the map was designed with a gameplay mod in mind, or is fairly free-form/open/slaughtery, they lend itself well to those mods.

>>5627108
Fuck year, thanks anon
