Anyone know how to get Blue Shift running in Xash3D?

Where are the exit screen quotes? I need to see the tips

Where can I watch more of this show? Anyone have links?

Surburbs, Nirvana, and Barrels o' Fun are underrated, IMO. They're not my favourite maps, but just never found them to be as bad as some say.

>>6045482
I will never like Barrels o' Fun. That level and the Factory are the first levels in Doom 2 that kill momentum for me and I just gotta clench my teeth and power through them for the sake of the rest of the game.

>>6045473
MAPINFO lump

>>6045538
Bless you

>>6045530
I can give you that Factory is pretty boring. Could've done without the final section with the lifts/switches.

>>6045560
that whole part is stupid. rest of the city levels I enjoy but it's start is so fucking awful. Oh I forgot Downtown is stupid too.

How should I play Blood? Fresh Supply, GDXblood, Nblood?

>>6045872
Emulating VR Doom in regular Doom when?

>>6045872
not gonna lie, the board name will age like milk over the next ~5 years. There will definitely be market for an actual VR board by then

What if an AI made a doom wad?

>>6045890
Go play OBLIGE.

>>6045890
>>6045894
Better ObHack or ObAddon

But they are regular ProcGen, not really AI.
I wager that AI properly trained on good maps would yield decent results.

>>6045897
You're talking about a neural network. Not all AI are neural networks. But that sounds like a good experiment.

>>6045482
Nirvana is ugly but fun and the Suburbs is the best city level. Barrels O' Fun is the worst level together with the Chasm in my opinion.

>>6045872
I'm interested in this as well as I just have ordered Rift S for this christmass.
Might even stream my virtual Heretic and Doom experiences.

However IIRC you have to use models at least for weapons - sprite guns look like total ass in ViRe

>>6045901
Well, there is no proper AI right now.
Anything that is not self-developing is not an AI, just more complicated procedure,
And for now Neural Network is the only viable method of anything resembling self-development.

>>6045903
Yeah, in the VR Doom I've been playing you have two choices- either it's a flat sprite you'r holding in your hand, or you take the sideways sprite of the weapon and turn that into a 'brick', by thickening it until it's an appropriate size for the base weapon.

Remember being hyped for Doom: Annihilation

This doesn't make any sense. Doomguy and Caleb would never get along.

I don't recall it ever being hyped.

What were Sandy Petersen's best maps?

I've always really liked Monster Condo and Spirit World, myself. Halls of the Damned was also pretty neat.

Happy 20th Birthday to the greatest multiplayer FPS of all time

>>6046049

>>6045902
Um sweetie Chasm is by far the most kino level in Doom2.

>>6046028
Out of Doom2's, I'd say Chasm is the most special, its own thing, kinda map. I know Monster Condo was based on a nightmare as well, and it could well be the most polished of Petersen's Doom2's maps, but it's just not as striking in both looks and pistolstart gameplay. In other words, Chasm is more like Chasm, while Monster Condo is more like surprisingly good Petersen's map.

I would probably place Spirit World a bit below Monster Condo.

Chasm doesn't feel gamey to me, my point is. It's the ONLY Doom2's map of his that doesn't feel gamey to me.

Quake's counterpart would probably be Nameless City.

As for Doom1, I'll admit, for some god knows what reason, E3M2 has always stuck out for me. Don't have a damnedest idea, why, I don't even like it that much, and I know it's more or less universally despised.

Regardless. You know, come to think of it, could it be, that all three games more or less intentionally had That One Weird Level, fleshed out heads and shoulders above the rest, working on some kinda moon logic, which had fuck even knows what to do with more common more explicitly and conventionally gamey levels by the same mapper, and sort of stuck like sore thumb?

Did anyone make a guide on how to make an ECWolf IWAD?

Why yes, I do play with mouse aim and jumping turned off, how could you tell?

Thoughts on Eviternity?
I want to hear what you guys think about it.

I finished it a few days ago and I really liked it. Good difficulty, good map design, nice textures and music.
The art of the textures was damn sweet. Often I would end up looking at them and appreciating the map's aesthetics after I killed all the monsters. Those heaven and tech base levels were damn nice. I even liked MAP19: Dehydration, which takes more than an hour to complete the first time.
I particularly didn't like the hell maps because the atmosphere was too dense, and the colors had a lot of contrast so I kinda rushed through them.

And the new enemies, I liked them. The Astral Cacodemon is an asshole though, I don't think it's speed was well balanced.

So guys... about those christmas wads...

>>6046207
it's ok

>>6046004
>theres still no vidya gacha board
/vg/ is 80% gacha at this point.

What's the point of these guys again? It's nearly impossible to get hit by them.

>>6046251
To get you cornered. They work better in -fast mode

>>6046251
They serve as meat shields for other monsters.

>>6046251
They fuck your wife while you're at work late at night

>>6046251
To waste your time and ammo.

>>6046251
Just like lost-souls, they're more meant to be a nuisance rather than the main threat. They get in the way, potentially blocking shots that were intended for another monster, and if theres many of them, can limit where you can move.

I'm thinking about organizing a /doom/ christmas megawad project. Anybody interested?

>>6045351
>heretics motion sickness
fucking this. I love the game but it actually makes me wanna vomit everytime when I play it. First episode is the worst due to its shitty color scheme.

>>6045351
Dont play heretic. It sucks ass.

>>6045346
Heretic but as an RPG.

>>6045351
>>6046321
Does it even if you use a port with a hardware renderer?

>>6045346
what do you guys think about quake 3?

>>6046321
Change the palette

>>6046416
It was too good. No other multiplayer arena fps could surpass it and the genre died.

>>6046251
to block your path and push you back
they aren't an immediate thread, but you can't ignore them

>>6045482
I never liked Nirvana, Suburbs is ok, but Barrels O' Fun is actually named appropriately.
For doing a couple of Doom 2's worst maps, Sandy also made a lot of good and excellent maps.

A lot of people hate The Chasm, but I dig it.

>>6046453
quake 3 is honestly the one game i'm too much of a pussy to play
servers will likely be full of ogs and it's a very punishing game if you don't know how to git gus fast

>>6046541
It's ok with the bots desu. Not that Quake 1 and Quake 2 aren't much more riveting experiences in comparison.

>>6046549
Q1 and Q2 at least they have the totally not doom singleplayer campaign

>>6046416
I don't like that it's MP only.

>>6046207
I haven't finished it, but I'm hating the last episode. I can't understand how they made those maps, but they run pretty slow. Framerate issues. I mean, it's a doom mod. Do I really need a beefy pc to run a fucking megawad? Anyway. That's my only issue. Cool visuals. The levels are good. Gameplay wise i don't feel that they do anything particularly special. But it has a lot of immersive moments. It has some sort of cinematic feel into it that's pretty cool. The new enemies are OK. The cyborgbaron is actually a cool concept. As for the Grey cacodemon. It's OK at best. It's a nice little novelty, they clearly went with the ambush approach with that monster. The hell levels were pretty cool and the tech levels too.

>>6046584
>I mean, it's a doom mod. Do I really need a beefy pc to run a fucking megawad?
Intrinsic bottlenecks in ports like GzDoom, not a lot you can do without redoing lots of shit from the ground up.

It'll probably run much better in a Boom based port, they tend to handle highly detailed level geometry better.

>>6046590
I tried it on prboom+ and it's actually worse. So I stick to gzdoom so far, I finished map26. Should I test the last stable version of zdoom or it's going to be the same as gz.? It also seems that my video card hates opengl. It works much better with directx

>>6045346
Heretic but it gets a reboot in 2021 for the Switch, PC, Mac, PS5, and Xbox One

>>6046602
ZDoom will not be better than GZDoom.
It's worth trying toggling the Vulkan renderer on in GZDoom instead of the GL one. If your video card is old, LZDoom might work better - it's a fork of GZDoom with the older renderer, which might be better for older cards.

>>6046613
They really ought to make a version adapted proper for GzDoom, I mean doesn't it already add some Decorate details or something if you play it in a port that supports it?

>>6046321
isn't heretic one of the earlist fps to have verital aiming too?

>>6045346
AMD is generally better at first person games than Nvidia, while the latter is usually best suited for third-person gamesthough there are exceptions for both thanks to coding patience and making workarounds. DOOM, DOOM2, Heretic and other Idtech1 games are FIRST-PERSON GAMES! Knowing this, Why the fuck does Graf insist on Nvidia still!?

>>6046416
the console ports are underrated and much like the console ports of rtcw, are not perserved

>>6046613
My card does not support vulkan. Gonna try LZdoom and see how it goes.

>>6046272
>>6046286
>>6046286
>they're meant to
Maybe in the context of WADs. Based on their appearance and description I think they were clearly supposed to be menacing brutes. I mean just look at them. Unfortunately in most cases they're less of a threat than the imps and zombies they're supposed to be a step-up against. Maybe on SNES doom with shit unresponsive controls they're quite dangerous.

That's not how any of that works.
>Why the fuck does Graf insist on Nvidia still!?
Because he has an Nvidia card and not an AMD one. Not even a recent card, unless he upgraded and I don't know about it. Last I heard he has a fucking 500 series.

Dies anyone have a link to the Linux version of Wrath yet?

>>6046207
I feel conflicted. The visuals are of course excellent, and theres a lot of good gameplay / level design, but most of the later levels just feel like a grind due to the constant hordes and lock-in arenas. And besides the plasma soldier, the custom enemies are all just annoying unbalanced fucks.
>>6046629
I think it adds snow and portal particles when played with gzdoom.
I doubt theres anything they could do to improve framerate on gzdoom though, its just a limitation caused by how complex the port is.
Its funny, people always say "why would i need a good PC to play a doom mod", well the thing is the engine was made in the 90s, so it wasnt optimized for massive, open, detailed areas like modern engines.

>>6046232
Not retro but still cool art.
Man I wish the bosses in this game were better. The story and setting of the underworld is actually pretty interesting, but then when you actually get there and fight them it's just the same boring slog over and over again, easily the worst part of the game.
>>6046251
I was playing a Doom 1 wad the other day and it reminded me just how dangerous they can be when you dont have the super shotgun. It was "monument.wad", by the way, very good episode.

>>6046712
Yeah the demo was good but I grew tired of replaying the quake campaign with it time and again.

>>6046794
>I doubt theres anything they could do to improve framerate on gzdoom though, its just a limitation caused by how complex the port is.
I mean like simplifying some geometry, maybe convert some detail into composite textures and what not, and outright make some sacrifices if necessary.

It's very clearly built to be an extravagant to look at Boom mapset, GzDoom functionalities were very obviously an afterthought. Either they should have resigned that the map won't run well in anything but a Boom port (which is fine), and not have bothered with simply adding some Decorate eye candy, which at best makes things worse for the ports that support it.

last thread someone talked about how the doom logo had a specific art style that not even the games replicate but i like to think the blue wires reflect that one tech texture in phobos and the yellow bricks are of course the brick textures in hell

>>6046028
I don't know why, but I all of the sudden started loving Tricks and Traps this year. I love it pistol start, I love it played after the previous maps. I don't get it. I used to just skip most of it by grabbing the two keys and high tailing it out of there, but now I like killing everything.

I like e3m2, people can fucking fight me on that one. I love that map.

Spirit world is still probably my favorite though.

Decided to use linetracer projectiles instead of normal hitscans for the MG. Getting the trails to connect to the gun barrel when the player is moving took a lot of effort. Tried and failed doing that many times before but finally got it working

does anybody have that mod that adds unused music by bobby prince in E4?

>>6046686
>That's not how any of that works
Oh, how so?

My God, Cryptic passage is a class act level pack. Granted its 1997 but its so fucking more detailed, and you can feel the love in it.

>>6046659
>AMD is generally better at first person games than Nvidia
lol what
what fucking difference would there be rendering a game in third or first person

>>6045346
Whoever keeps making the amazing OC in these threads is a SAINT.

I don't understand the complaint about Dusk not being it's own game. It takes clear inspiration, but creates it own gameplay design just fine.

>>6047168
Of all the retro inspired shit its the best for me, it creates a nice set of missions and nice mood. I think it could be even more elaborate with the story and models slightly better.
I expect good shit from Gloomwood.

The rest of the shit like Ion Fury, Amid Evil and now Wrath are meh. Ion sure is good to look at I like busy stuff buts its boring.

In the previous thread, there were a few posts about how gatekeeping isn't that bad
I wonder if Slayer's Club could be a good arguement for it, because i don't want brand loyality/corporate fanaticism apply to Doom fans

>>6047189
What are they locking behind Slayer's Club again? I thought it was a single skin.
I don't completely agree with it, but they'd have to pull some real exclusive shit for me to be angry about it.
Otherwise I'd hope they'd put the skins in for free if the service ever goes down.

>>6045872
People were experimenting with VR back then too. Back when Wolfenstein 3D was new, someone put up a VR rig for it at a state fair and charged people to play it.
I've also heard of similar home made setups to play Rise Of The Triad as well. Results were so-so, but it was done.

Is there a nice flowchart showing the heritage/descendants of Doom Sourceports? I just watched a video on it and now I'm curious
Vid in question:

This is but a portion of the source port genealogy, from the article that video primarily sources itself from. This tree was made in 2003 so there have obviously been updates to it since then.

Anyone know what the "native" resolution of Ion Fury is? Some things look like they're drawn for 640x480 but other elements like text look like shit and there's inconsistent scaling all over the place.

>>6046049
Happy birthday, you had best TV show on Now TV

>>6047168
Yeah, Dusk does enough things to give it its own personality. My only complaint is they kinda went too far with the low-poly graphics, but thats minor at best.

>>6047182
Amid Evil is good, IMO. I like that each episode features its own set of monsters. Keeps it varied. And most levels felt well designed and weren't just trying to look pretty.
Ion Fury, and what we've seen so far of Wrath are definitely meh, though.

>>6047454
thanks bruv

>>6047615
from what I can tell there's nothing that can be done about the pixel scaling being all retarded and the game just naturally looks like shit
nice

>>6046991
Is this a smartgun?

Also saw your eariler posts.
Do you think it'd be possible to implement proper rope swinging in Doom, kinda like Grappling Hook, but like in Worms where you can pull yourself towards/away from it, as well as swing on it to get momentum?

>>6047452
>no mention of Legacy that added hardware acceleration support and had impact on pretty much all other HW ports, as well as split screen
>no mention of Vavoom
>barely mentions Eternity and EDGE

One of these days I'd get around to making a proper vid about evolution of ports and mods
one of these days...

>>6047615
Duke engine on its own does not have any "native resolution", where 1 pixel=1unit.
It is less noticable in original only due to the fact that different resolutions were not all that far apart in terms of pixel density

>>6048024
The interface of build engine games was drawn for 640x400 though, any other resolution and you start to see scaling issues, that's what I'm talking about

anyway for Ion Fury the only work around I found is playing at 4k because the scaling issues are less perceptible

>>6048337
>The interface of build engine games was drawn for 640x400 though
that's verifiably false

>>6048341
320x200 then, otherwise shit's stretched

>>6048356
The interface is made to the lowest dimensions it can run in, which is 320x200 (just as well as Doom's)
The difference between the two is that in Doom originally asset's size in the world is directly conected to its pixelcount, and no way to resize/stretch it aside from resizing the graphic itself via external means.
This way consistency is internally enforced and can only be broken if done deliberately.

Build does not have such limitation so a slightly higher res poster decal may be put onto a regular wall. So in build consistency may some times be neglected unknowingly (or by choice) by the map maker.

These assholes block your path with their fucking huge hitbox.
They are only a danger because you can't maneuver gracefully through them without getting stuck.
Also, their walking pattern is almost impossible to guess.

On Eviternity there is a variant of pinkies that are a lot faster and they become a threat quickly because the block your moves.

>The guide videos just spiked out of nowhere
It's kinda weird since I haven't uploaded anything in like a year, I have no clue why the robot overlords decided to pick them up just like that.
Maybe its people like Civvie igniting interest for old shooters? I don't know.

Anyhow, if you dig Tex content there is an Ion Fury video coming down the pipeline at his channel something is very wrong with his capture setup and he fucked up my footage for the third time
After that, maybe a Thief guide but playing FMs is very time consuming so that's going to take a while, I had HL planned but that fell by the wayside so I'll have to download a bunch of stuff again.

>>6046659
It is engine that is optimised or not for certain hardware.
Unreal Engine 4 for example works best on NVidia while Frostbyte gets some extra frames on AMD

Whether or not the game is first person or third person is completely irrelevant. There are plenty of third person games made on UE4. Being in third person has no bearing on how they perform, and making it third person does not makes it magically run better or worse on hardware of a specific manufacturer.

>>6048007
Yeah, you can toggle the smartgun feature. Each weapon has a minimum of one gimmick/setting. When it's on, there are squares drawn over monsters you aim at and if you hold LMB (RMB is the normal firing button) it'll lock the cursor to them.

And yes, a grappling hook like that would absolutely work. You wouldn't get all that much momentum with standard movement physics since that would dependent on air control, which is very low by default. Basically, all that's needed to reel in or out is to adjust the value that represents the length of the spring.

>>6047631
Ion Fury is paced too evenly; it lacks "moments". It has a few memorable bits, but not many. It's like eating a bag of chips, one after another, and then you're done. It's good, but it's just comfort food.
Dusk has a lot of memorable areas and moments. Haven't played Amid Evil yet, might not have the time really. I'll definitely carve a chunk of time out for Gloomwood though. I just want to make them better models/textures.

>>6047208
>Otherwise I'd hope they'd put the skins in for free if the service ever goes down.

I bet this bugger is in this very thread right now

I really wish there was a mod based on Megaman Zero series.
Or even btetter a mapset.
The soft almost-pastel colors of utopia that was turned into post-apocalypsis. Always loved that aspect of the setting.

what about that guy that was making the video on vanilla Doom?
come in to the light anon I know you are here

Hello friend
Anyone have the Fiona Playmate model for Quake 2 or the uncensored Conni for Quake 3? Wish I saved them.

>>6045346
Who's the creator of this shit?

>>6049219
a genius

>>6049219
What, the FIREBLU texture? Probably Adrian Carmack, possibly Kevin Cloud.

>>6048451
I've been getting that dumb video about different doom sourceports from the dude with the weird llama fursona profile pic in my recommended feed for weeks now. Guess that's what I get for bingeing on Icaruslive3s.

>>6049253
You should watch it, he's good

>>6049219
Redpill me on this texture. Why is it such a meme?

>>6049302
>Looks weird
>Context is mostly unknown besides being rock related
>Can fuck up bitrate on videos and streams

What soundfont do you use for Doom?

>>6049302
It's hideous to look at, and when you record the animated texture to video or on a stream, the encoding will for some reason shit its pants so on the final video/audience end it will look like a smudgy low def soup until the view shifts away from the texture.

Pic related was 720p before the texture was in view, turned to this, then went back to 720p afterwards. I think it has something to do with the sharp contrast and the slow blinking, as well as it moving over the screen. It just doesn't want to record right digitally.

>>6049327
Its hideous, but gloriously so.

looks like somoeone is smuggling illegal FIREBLU again

>>6049302
Look at it
It isn't nice to the eyes at all
Also inferno has an entire building mapped with that texture

Can someone give me a quick rundown on the differences between BloodGDX and Nblood?

>>6049453
RC Cola and Big K

>>6049465
This simultaneously tells me nothing, and everything.

>>6049478
I'm sorry, someone asked the same exact question one or two threads ago and got "it's the difference between Coca-cola and Pepsi" for an answer. I felt I should continue the trend.

I like Doom64guy's helmet. The little antenna is cute.

>2 hours into a Turok 2 level and haven't completed a single objective yet

I fucking hate these levels. Turok 1 was so much better

If anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it. Trying to play Coop Arcane Dimensions with my friend. Using Quakespasm with both computers connected to a router. Most maps give me constant "Packet Overflow" errors, resulting in the computer joining not seeing enemies or other game assets properly. Anything I can do to fix this? I know the levels are massive in Arcane Dimensions, but it should be able to handle it right?

>>6049620
Same poster. I did actually find this but at a loss as to where to start.

>>6049665
Right ok. Any suggestions? I think it's running 666 at the moment. Totally new to using protocols.

>>6049580

That's actually from the Doom RPG games as Doom64guy's helmet is much simpler and has blue visor

>>6049345

>>6046329
It doesn't, but it drags almost as badly as final doom and faster.

GDX can play cinematics and has multiplayer I believe are the main differences outside the separate code base. IMO Nblood works better.

>>6049490
here cause you guys are alright

I don't know if this is or isn't the thread to mention it, but SRB2 is getting its next big update this Saturday. Big feature is the new use of actual slopes in the levels.

Fuck the jays. DEMOCRACY NOW

Yo dudes, Freedoom got an update recently. I have no idea what the fuck is going on with Map26 in Freedoom 2 but I like it. This is a great return to form for the old style of Freedoom mapping and I hope they have more like it. I genuinely miss the maps in Freedoom that let you actually explore the AGM and their weird ass facilities. Especially the map that just straight up turned into hell when you got deeper.

Unreal is good?

>>6050189
yes, take your time playing it, you may notice similarities to bio/system-shock series due to how levels work

>>6050196

anyway to enable vsync or scale up the HUD? game has terrible tearing for me. What renderer should I use? Opengl?

>>6046204
Do most people actually play with mouselook and jumping turned on? I mean, mouselook feels like ass and the jump feature breaks most maps.

>>6050310
The HUD can't be scaled up because tim sweeney is a fucking idiot and made that impossible.

>>6046207
Its good, and definitely among the best megawads of the 2010s. but I dislike a lot of the new monsters. A lot of them amount to nothing more than just "tougher version of stock monster". I really do hope a Vaccinated Edition eventually comes out.

Theres also map19, which is an okay map by itself, but is so damn long (can easily take over an hour for most people), that it kills the pacing of a megawad that is mostly maps that take 10-20 minutes to complete. I think Dragonfly allowed too much freedom to the guest mapper in this case. Map32 is also really long, but I give it a pass for being a secret level.

>>6049324
Everyone seems to stick with some version of SC-55, but I've been experimenting with GeneralUser GS 1.471 for a while and really like it. Makes the soundtrack actually sound metal to me.

>>6050189
Worth a play, I'd say.

>>6046251
They block your path and force you to move.

They're a much higher threat in Doom than they are in Doom 2 because the absense of the super shotgun, which is by far the easiest and most efficient way to deal with them in most situations.

In Doom, they were much more likely to prompt the player to retreat whilst switching to the rocket launcher.

A 666 count should always be treasured.

>>6050189
Unreal is god-tier.

Take your time and soak up the atmosphere. The soundtrack is great.

E2M2 and E2M7 (large credit to Tom Hall) are among my favorites period, E2M6 is a pretty rock solid one as well, and one of the few stock maps which could be described as scary. E3 has some good ones too.

Refueling Base (credit to Tom Hall again) is fun, and I love Tricks & Traps, The Spirit World, Chasm, Barrels O' Fun are other favorites.
I really like most of his maps, the only ones I don't care for at all is like E3M5, E3M6, Downtown, and Nirvana.

Getting better at Doom wads is like eating spicier and spicier peppers. Plutonia is like eating a jalapeno. Hellbound, Back to Saturn X, the Scythe wads, and Alien Vendetta are like the black peppers you get in kung pao chicken. Sunlust and slaughterwads are like habeneros or carolina reapers.

It kinda sucks at first to lose a lot, but the better you get the more acclimated you become, and when you go back to less spicy wads all you get is the flavor and none of the burn.

The hottest ones always suck ass though.

>>6051913
I think its funny that it got completely overshadowed by the authors other wad, nuts.wad, which was purely made as a test for uploading to idgames.

>>6052073
It's also a test of ports that are worthy.

lmao, I keep forgetting he made nuts.wad

Equinox is just completely different.. and so far my favorite wad behind Chex Quest

>>6051660
So a good slaughtermap is like those flavoursome scorpion/reaper sauces that are naturally hot from the chillis themselves, where as bad ones are like those awful flavourless hot sauces that are purely hot from capsaicin extracts.

>>6052231
Don't think he's active in the community anymore. His last release was like 2006.
He did make sequels to nuts, though. nuts2.wad was poking fun at the original and its reputation, where as nuts3.wad was a straight up sequel with prettier visuals.

>>6052260
That looks neat. My prior reference point was the grappling hook in Tribes: Vengeance, or the one in the CorkScrew mod for Q3A

>>6052382
Graf honestly does not understand why anyone would want resolution that is not maximum, or textures that are unfiltered.
About a year or so ago there was this upheave about Graf compleely removing ability to set resolution other than by playing in a window and resizing said window. When confronted about this his response was confused "I didn't know anyone wanted to set precise resolutions"

>>6048728
If you added a grappling hook for climbing/rappeling around I'd play the fuck out of your mod, I'd be willing to adjust to the weird control scheme if it meant cool weapons AND a grappling hook.

>>6052401
And I'd make grappling exploration maps the kind of which are in the Windlands.

Another neat feature would be if the hook could differentiate between textures and could be set to latch only to specified ones (wood), and slide off of others (metal/stone). Maybe even switchable via upgrades (i.e. hook that can latch onto rocks, and another one for metal)

>>6052397

You'll be able to play with normal controls too. Will make a toggle button mouselook/cursor. You'll probably have to bind a lot of custom keys if you don't want to click in the hud at all though.

>>6052382
>literally just switch texture filtering from bilinear to point and you're good to go
depends on what you're trying to achieve, some perverts in this thread claim zdoom is actually vanilla accurate with strict boom comp level lol
I'm a pervert too because I ant dynamic lighting in software mode

>>6052460
Holy crap you're adding a traditional mouse look option? Damn son you really have come a long way since the days of the 64kb project.
Bless your heart for working so hard on this.

GZDoom is in serious need of cleaning up its lighting modes. Theres too many of them, most of which look terrible, and only makes things confusing for people who don't know any better. Software lighting is the only one that actually looks close enough to how the lighting looks in software rendering. Doom, Dark and even Vanilla makes dark rooms way darker than they are supposed to be, and were often the cuplrit settings among those complaining about Sigil being too dark, for example. Standard, Bright, and Legacy all look too bright and flat, and pretty much suck out the life of the game.

>>6052490
Advice for configing GZDoom? or just screenshots of your config would be nice. I always can never figure out what all the settings do and what would make for the most authentic look just with higher resolutions

>>6052463
I'm adding it due to popular demand :P

>>6052394
nah

>>6051542
>>6051538
>>6051489
people here not getting the context that its supposed to be Shoujo style

>>6052558
Too bad the artist can't convey it as such, since the art looks anything but shoujoshit.

>>6052529
what

>>6052508
I don't really use GZDoom all that much, personally. I tend to use Eternity.

>>6052508
For an authentic look, at high resolution, with minimal visual artifacts, use this:

>>6051489
I think I'm in love.

>>6052508
If you want something extra, set post processing options to this. Skip bloom if you don't like it, but ambient occlusion is great even at low resolutions. It adds soft shadows in corners where two surfaces meet, which gives everything more depth.

If you enable tonemap and set it to "palette" you get an approximation of how the software renderer does colors

>>6052731
Experimentation says that "none (linear)" looks better and preserves more details at distances than "none (trilinear)" for some reason. I think I posted comparison gallery here some time ago.

>>6052735
Ambient Occlusion quality tanks FPS somewhat hard for me without all that much difference between low and high, atleast in GZD implementation, so I almost always set it to low.

Also Multisampling GZD uses is MSAA so turning it up to x4 or x8 will not tank FPS all that much, but will reduce jagginess on the sector edges without blurring anything else.

>>6052737
Also never use tonemap in WADs with non-default palettes. This always uses game's default palette that is hardcoded into the shader, so all the altered colors will get "squished". - try it on REKKR wad and look at the water and bow details that use extended blues and browns. So only use on vanilla maps.
It will look wrong on BTSX, Ancient Aliens, REKKR, and many other wads.
Also some times it looks wrong in original Doom too for some reason.

>>6052394
Not until they confirme a new quake in 2021

>>6052104
yeah I like that. i don't know why I had the idea that doom wads could be compared to peppers but I figured it was worth sharing.

>>6052070
Allen Blum was far superior in every kind of maps. Just compare Hollywood Holocaust, Freeway, Duke Burger or Golden Carnage to Raw Meat, Movie Set, Rabid Transit or Hotel Hell. Night and day really.

The best Levelord city map was the unreleased Sewer map. That could have been special with some extra polish.

>>6053089
I was never a big fan of Rabid Transit desu.

>>6052529
>>6052679
Yes, what?

>>6053118
Ninja Shotgun = best shotgun.

>>6052747
>try it on REKKR wad and look at the water and bow details that use extended blues and browns
It's the color map that extends the blues and browns in rekkr, the palette has the same number, but with altered hues and brightnesses.
It actually has a few browns that are nearly redundant. I should've planned better really, but I was just fucking around originally and once I made enough art I was locked in. Coulda used the extra browns to get some more purples, which would've been cool. Or a better spectrum for a sunset sky texture. Which also would've made fun color gradiating textures and flats if you used them with a glowing light sector.

You know I could probably still do that pretty easily, and only lose one noticable shade of brown... Hmmmmmmm.

>>6053129
>It's the color map that extends the blues and browns in rekk
Just clarifying, it doesn't actually extend the blues or browns, it just stops them from turning grey when it gets super dark.

>>6052529
Where's this from? Why are they calling the Super Shotgun "Ninja Shotgun"?

I often have dreams that take place in Quake's introduction map. They involve finding things that don't exist in the actual map. Sometimes on the roof in the first area. Sometimes under the bridges in the difficulty selection. Sometimes behind the stairs in the Elder World area. Finding these secrets will always make monsters populate the place.
These dreams are almost always nightmares, or feel like one.

>>6053246
I had a dream about finding secrets in Quake once. It was fun, very immersive and it felt super real. I felt like indiana jones with a shotgun

>>6053246
I empathize, I also have dreams with weird videogame related stuff. Like skyboxes.

I have a very fresh memory of a sequence of dreams that repeat sometimes, about Homeworld, and they never feel either like nightmares or feel blissful as well.
Its like I am almost on the verge of discovering some hidden truth, and its almost a child like primal feeling of curiosity but also discovery.

>>6052150

I had a similar one in which i was dreaming of playing a duke nukem 3d mod, called "Do you want to be President?" it begun with a unique intro showing many reasons many people would be president and there was a skip button on the bottom, that if you decided to hover to it there would be a transparent background with the word "Money" would appear, i skipped the cutscene and got prompted to menu to which i went to a new game:
The level was in some sort stage zone and duke spawned on the viewer seat with a shotgun but not the normal one, an alien looking one, anyway i decided to go to the stage untill a fucking chaingun version of the Cycloid emperor with miniguns for hands (and a face of a battlelord) appeared and blocked the way, so i instinctevely shoot him, only to see the ludicrous power of the alien shotgun( which was essentially the ssg level of pellets*10 and ordered as a square, and takes 1 shell to reload) i 2 shotted the battlelord emperor and then i've seen another alien, this time it was one of those small red things from half life with no legs but big as a battle lord, i decided to kill it and it took around 5 or 6 shots then i entered the behind the scenes
>Cont 1/2

From there i didn't see anything till i've looked up and from there i've seen a simple battlelord, just 1 and i one shotted him, then i've checked and suddenly there was a bizzare tool that held fireworks, interacting with it caused duke to turn on the fire works, i then notice a door leading to some stairs down, i took them and found an anime girl of sorts, she was sitting on a couch looking at empty one, i tried heading to the seat and interact with the anime girl and she said that we need to wait for the fire works, i then go up to check for that bizzare firework thing was taking, and it was getting nearly to the end so i got to the room with the stairs and jumped to the fireworks, and from there the level ended, and the next level was just the same then i woke up

A bit out there, but does anyone have CruX's marine sprite sheets? He made pic related, as well as a bunch more, but a lot of his stuff has been lost to the internet void because it was hosted on imageshack years ago. He isn't really active on the ZDoom forums anymore, so I was hoping someone else had some of his stuff.

Bashar AssaDOOM would be a great wad

kirby's dreamland 3.

Currently playing Fresh Supply. Why is the remote detonator so friggin' bad? Is it as shitty in the original game?

Also, is there a way to access more save states than the default from within the game? I'm backing up older saves in a separate folder already.

Nice Bushy. I know the pig is going to fuck up MW5.

Anyway play gdx.

His videos are fine, but he sounds like his tongue is cramped. Said he has a problem with stuttering which he is working on. I also feel like he's autistic or something. He puts out videos really often. I like his videos, they're alright.

Stop playing on Nightmare.

But that's the best way to play Quake

>It's very clearly built to be an extravagant to look at Boom mapset, GzDoom functionalities were very obviously an afterthought. Either they should have resigned that the map won't run well in anything but a Boom port (which is fine), and not have bothered with simply adding some Decorate eye candy, which at best makes things

The thing that GZDoom really chokes on is massive monster counts. It's CPU-bottlenecked. It also doesn't do massively complex sector geometry that well BUT - that isn't a renderer issue per se. It can do a shit ton of high poly 3D models and not give a damn. The issue is how since sectors are all dynamic in height from the scripting side, it has to traverse the currently non-single-sided blocked sectors and send them to the GPU ever single frame, and it also has to do a ton of blockmap traversal for actor physics (actor physics which are more expensive because it has to do so many checks to support the scripting system).

The correct way to make a map that's gzdoom-friendly but more detailed than what other ports can manage is to use 3D models for complex geometry outside the play area (wall recesses blocked by impassible linedefs, stuff on the ceiling etc) and to use texture work and materials to your advantage. Scripted spawning or activation of actors is also not a bad idea.

the only difference between hard and nightmare is AI is 110% more aggressive to the point of absurdity
that actually makes the game easier because of how predictable and exploitable enemies are

>>6053256
they should just hire marphyblack or anyone who worked on the doomwiki at this point

>>6053815
marphy is too busy not working on postal 4

Whaddabout Nblood? Was planning to try it once I was done with Death Wish (halfway thru episode 2).

>>6053838
Its okay. I still prefer the options of gdx.

>>6053840
Can't hurt trying both. Thanks anon.

On French meat mod for blood, what do you do when you open the cockpit door and everything explodes? I tried hiding in the toilet, but I get stuck in there.

>>6053434
no, none.

Here you go.

I played that map at least twice and all I can say is find the solitary linedef that doesn't kill you and stand on it

I once had a dream about Romero
There was a locked door in front of me when he appeared out of nowhere, opened the door with his powers and handed me the computer area map

Try to lucid dream yourself a Super Nailgun and a Quad Damage.

Doom II does it for me, un a roundabout way. I played it with zdoom and unlocked vertical aiming when I was younger, and now shitty city levels trip up my brain or something and give me motion sickness.

I once dreamed that BJ had a sidekick that was just Maria Brenard from Castlevania in some obscure Wolfenstein 3D spin-off and MachineGames in some modern Wolfenstein title, decided to turn her into an old launch lady that met BJ when he was an ugly teen.
