SiD is a top notch little mapset, grungy concrete slab bunkers and rusty metal plating has never been so beautiful.

>>6065031
Espi was a huge influence in general, and there's definitely some homages to him there. I think it was Tarnsman who said he saw a mapping trick in SiD which he hadn't seen anywhere else before, and which he carefully imitated for BTSX (he didn't specify what or where, might be for E3 even, so maybe we haven't even seen it yet), he said it was really complex and when he had to tweak it he felt really nervous that it would just break.
He also said that if Espi was still alive, he wouldn't just still be making maps, he'd still be figuring out new vanilla mapping tricks, which I feel is probably true.

There's a philosophical theory where all it means to be art is to be accepted by the "artworld" as art, where the artworld is basically just people who you take as qualified to have opinions about art.

Good stuff man keep it up :) just keep making your maps and experimenting and figuring shit out. Wasn't expecting that sharp upturn of difficulty at the end lol. I quite liked the water/slime trap, when I first hopped down I was like, 'why is this pathway here just through water? looks like you should have something damaging here- oh I see.' Is that platform bugged or was I supposed to lower it some other way? But yeah liked your detailing and stuff, you've thought about the layout, bits like where you have the gap there and see the shit lower through it, y'know. But yeah I could see you putting out a decent wee set sometime keep it up.

What? In Aztec there is a bridge sided by two mancubi. If you cross it two chaingunners spawn in the back and in the front and you, at the end two revenants appear, with two pain elementals to boot. If you fall off the bridge, you have to die because there is no teleport or lift out of it.

Or the part with the revenant in the distance. If you approach, the path behind you closes, and a lift goes up with an archvile. Hope you have not killed the revenant from the distance for some lucky in fighting cause there ain't no way to block the fire here! The way to proceed? Cross the sides of the lift, ideally after taking a leap of faith into the pit that looks like it'll damage you but doesn't! Enjoy three chaingunners hounding you! And three more should you proceed, appearing behind the revenant! Hope you didn't kill it!

>trial and error
Most traps in Plutonia are intentionally not designed with new players in mind. They're specifically designed for people who have mastered Doom 2 UV to the point that they're very familiar with the kinds of traps that can be thrown at them, and want a bigger challenge. The early maps of Plutonia are also fairly lenient on the player compared to later on, and mainly serve to teach the player that yes, monsters that were formerly rare in Doom 2 are now much more frequently used.
There are moments in Plutonia that can admittedly be considered trial and error, even when taking account the above, but they are rare.

is traditional vanilla mapping is dead or dying? With traditional I mean basic doom mapping, mapping challenges / collaborations and old timer stuff like slaughterwads. I think i can count 2 (doom zero and 2 runner ups) paid attention this year.

... and at no point are you actually stopped from, you know, walking back out the way you came
and if you get past the revenants, you have a relatively safe area where you can kill things at your leisure

you make it sound more difficult than it actually is.
I fell into the pit on accident, noticed it didn't hurt me, took my sweet time dealing with the chaingunners (because guess what, you can break line of sight in the pit), then waited around for the archvile to try to attack before throwing rocket at it.
and even if you get blasted by the archvile once - so what? you get a blue armor first thing in the map, you can take *two* blasts. four rockets - which you also get plenty of - and it's dead. you could literally just sit there and put the four rockets into its face, and even if you don't kill it before it hits you, you still live with about 55 health and 155 armor.

just because it kills you, doesn't mean it's bad

Thank you for giving it a shot! The platform is lowering normally in PrBoom, but is bugging out in GZDoom. I think I know what's causing that, so I will try to fix it before I start my next map. Also, noticed a misaligned texture there. Probably will adjust the difficulty of the final room a bit.

Doom is now a 26 year old game. With that amount of time, it should be no surprise that there's plenty of people in the community (mappers included) that have played the iwads to the point of no longer finding them challenging anymore.

1. Play On "Hey, Not Too Rough" for lowest monster count, or on "I'm Too Young To Die" for lowest monster count, double ammo from pickups, and half damage. Difficulty settings exist for a reason.

2. Watch and learn from this curriculum:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJcf0aOwmiA
The monster AI is actually quite predictable. You don't have to memorize every aspect, but know they will constantly B-line it towards you, regardless of if this is at all a good idea or not, meaning they'll happily walk in under crushers to try to reach you, walk into walls or obstacles, walk along a pile of explosive barrels, or walk in front of the blazing guns of their allies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0KBAZkPFmI
The BFG9000 is quirky, but a lot more powerful than it lets on.
The chaingun is always perfectly accurate on the first two shots, you can use it at long range by tapping repeatedly to fire two-shot bursts.

3. Certain authors like Skillsaw prefer a challenge, his maps are played under the assumption that you're familiar with the game and that you've probably tangoed with Plutonia.
Also if a map is described by an author as slaughter, it will likely be designed to be pretty hard, employing many many monsters at any one time.

>> No.6068759

All of this talk about WAD difficulty is making me wanna poke at Plutonia again. I played TNT Evilution first and dropped it mid-way through, not due to difficulty but due to the maps getting boring and stretchy, at least in my opinion.

When you always use full scale textures, distant texture texels fight for screenspace resulting in randomly selected texel being displayed.
This results in shimmering in the distance, and major distortions when texture is vewed at an angle.

Mipmapping rescales texture by factor of 2/4/8 etc. until it hits defined minimum. This reduces distortion in the distance, and in case with relatively low texture count can improve performance at the cost of slight VRAM requirement increase.

Anisotropy is a secondary mipmapping technique that does additional horizontal and vertical scaling for when texture is displayed at a high angle.

Texture nearest, mipmap linear is the best solution. Nearest mipmap bungles up some of the details at medium-far range since it just removes some pixels. Linear interpolation blends adjuscent pixels, but you won't notice it at the distance it is performed if it is coupled with high anisotropy due to way it works.

Long story short, in this case linear mipmap actually preserves more detail than nearest or bilinear/trilinear.

Also there's never a reason NOT to use 16x anisotropy instead of 8x since VRAM hit is neglegible with Doom's low texture count.

Sure, Petersen had his share of bad maps (Fortress of Mystery, Slough of Despair, The Factory, Downtown), but McGee is just consistently mediocre and flat. Inmost Dens and Hell Beneath do stand out as his better maps, but I'd still put them below the best Romero and Petersen maps, personally.

Good post. I'm actually in the middle of poking Quakespasms settings, so I may as well chip in that an important consideration there is that opengl treats surfaces seen at an angle as further away for mipmap purposes, causing the sides of relatively close objects to turn into a blurry mess. As a result, if you're going for the original software renderer look (which used strictly distance-based mipmapping), you generally want to use gl_texturemode gl_nearest and compensate for the lack of mipmapping by setting gl_texture_anisotropy higher than 1.

there was a discussion a thread or two ago about mods and fan games compared to fan art and non playable fan content as a whole
something that sets a big difference is that the former are less likely to work coming from someone with little interaction or even none with a series
one thing is someone drawing a megaman character because they think they're cool but never played any mm game
but for a fan game or a rom hack, you'd have to understand the gameplay in a deeper level to make it work, even if the end product sucks anyway
mods and maps for doom or quake are in a higher league for being tied to the actual games, so they're more "doom" or "quake" but with outside material

anisotropy is only compatible with nearest on certain graphics cards/drivers
at a high enough anisotropy there's basically no difference between gl_nearest and gl_nearest_mipmap_linear

Incorrect. Again, gl_nearest_mipmap_linear treats a steeply angled surface right infront of you as if it was a long way away because it calculates which mipmap to use based on apparent surface size rather than linear distance, and consequently uses a tiny mipmap - unfortunately, the vertical size of the object is still quite large, and so it can end up smearing a texture only a few pixels tall up an object filling a large part of your screen height. gl_texture_anisotropy is, crudely speaking, calculating mipmaps on the fly and does so based on the actual pixel densities.

True, everyone working on Doom was being an ideas guy, it was very much a group effort where you can just look over different parts of it and you can see some of their personality shine through in this or that feature.
Sandy is a serious Lovecraft nerd, contributing some great ideas on that behalf, and he's serious roleplaying nerd in general, with lots of experience, which was frankly just perfect given the other guys' penchant for Dungeon's & Dragons, and for him to make levels, drafting and staging them like dungeon crawls.

That's what I meant, basically. People were so hyped about PBR, but it would actually require map reworks to make use of it. Hell on the Earth Remastered does completely remake the Doom 2 campaign with dynamic lighting in mind, but Doom 1 doesn't have that kinda thing yet, and the occasional lights.pk3 addition doesn't make up for it. If Graf really wants to push superfluous graphical ideas, maybe he could figure something with Vulkan optimization to slip RTX in there and see how it treats dynamic lighting and shadowmaps.

Pretty much the only way we'd ever see shadows that actually work properly instead of only on 100% solid surfaces that don't elevate or shift at all. But whether the performance would be worth it is a different story.

you have to get in there and start getting your hands dirty, have an understanding of your tools before you can begin generating more ideas, i know it's always hard in the beginning but you do have to force it a bit. there are things like speedmapping sessions which can be helpful, giving you some theme ideas and a strict timelimit while working and communicating if you wish alongside others.

16x anisotropy :
Nearest mipmap https://i.imgur.com/erb9jSv.png
Linear mipmap https://i.imgur.com/NiJkAS5.png
Pay attention to the wall and sprite. With nearest there'd be some slight shimmer in the middle range of the wall, as well as some sprite shimmer in the distance. With linear transition is smoother and there's no shimmer on the distant sprites.
And here's none+trilinear mipmap (again with 16x anisotropy) https://i.imgur.com/2cS01AD.png
It does a bit more blur in the distance.
This is due to GZDoom/PRBoom and Quakespasm/Darkplaces using Linear algorithm multiple times on several samples instead of using a proper more complex trilinear technique (which to be frank almost nobody uses since its more resource intensive and nobody cares enough)

I'd say it's intentional. It's a free iwad that functionally behaves exactly like Doom, with many assets having used the Doom ones as a base. Because of this, you can easily play Doom wads with it.

Listen, if an enemy has like, one/two attacks it's not a fucking boss. It's a regular enemy with a bloated healthbar. Even if his attacks kill you instantly, that just makes the fight annoying and boring slog.

What makes fighting a boss fun is PATTERNS. Boss should have 3 or more (up to 10?) moves that they cycle between (either randomly with tells, or predictably), and which require player to move in different ways. If your boss can be beaten by simply circlestrafing, it's not a fucking boss, it's a mindless waste of time.

Let's use an example of a textbook good bossfight - Sol Dae Rokker, mission 4 boss from Metal Slug 3. It's a simple floating rock that you have to constantly shoot upwards at. But what makes it exciting is it's pattern! SDR will alternate between 4 attacks:
- yellow beams that randomly spread into a mini-bullet hell that player has to weave between
- red beams that aim at current position of the player, so you have to move constantly to avoid them
- purple beam that wipes entire arena, forcing player to hide on the edges
- spawns ghostly wolves that home in on player position and explode, forcing you to jump away at the last second.
You can tell which one is about to be used because jewel on the boss glows different colors.

It's extremely simple, almost simplistic, nothing fancy - but it's probably my favorite boss in MS3 exactly because it's so simple. It's pure. That's all that is necessary to create frantic, difficult, but also rewarding and learnable fight.

That's what all games with good bosses do. Castlevania, Mega Man, Gradius, Contra, you name it.

That is pure nonsense and not how copyright laws work. It's a completely original game, Bethesda/Zenimax can't do jack fucking shit about it. Worst thing they could do is send a CnD about using the word "Doom" in the name, but then the project will simply rename itself to "FreeHell" or something.
>>6071179
The real reason Freedoom is so mediocre is that it's hard to find a creator who is willing to completely give up their rights to their creation for a very lax copyleft license. If I donate a sprite to Freedoom, someone can take this sprite, put it in their game, sell that game, and they don't even have to credit me! They only have to credit the "Freedoom project". In fact, I actually saw a free arena FPS on Android store that used Freedoom assets.

Another problem is that the game is technically finished, so people don't really feel the urgency to contribute new stuff. I mean, it's done, why fix what ain't broke? I have to admit I am myself guilty of this, since when I decided to contribute to such a project, I chose Blasphemer (FreeHeretic) instead because it's actually unfinished.

As for level design being average... primary reason for existence of FreeDoom is making custom Doom pwads playable without a commerical Doom iwad. 90% of people who use FreeDoom don't actually play the enclosed levels and instead play custom map packs like BTSX or Eviternity with it.

That's kind of ignorant take. Freedoom was first conceived in 2001 and first released in 2003, long before digital distribution platforms like Steam or GOG, even before the XBLA port.

Nowadays everybody can spend 5 bucks on Steam to buy Doom 2 wad legally and it will take you like 20 seconds, but when Freedoom was first created that was completely impossible. If you wanted to play Doom wads, pretty much only option was piracy, which bothers some people. Freedoom was created to fill that gap and offer a legal alternative.

It's not the developers fault that this gap vanished, and the project is now kind of obsolete, aside from being just another TC with the open source gimmick.

Walking? Most MM bosses spastically jump around the arena. It's definitely threatening if you're not paying attention, and creates interesting and dynamic fights.
Though you're sort of right, it's less a traditional bossfight and more like a duel with a bot that has comparable abilities to yours.

Speaking of, why did no FPS (aside from multiplayer ones like UT or Q3) try to turn 1 on 1 deathmatch with a bot into a bossfight? I think if you had to fight Evil Doomguy with 100 health who is zipping around the map with BFG, first to 5 frags, that could be an exciting.

Heretic has nice boss monsters IMO.

Iron Lich sends out homing tornados that capture you, forcing you either be on the move constantly, or use special item, and that attack itself synergises with the other attacks.

Maulotaur smacks you up close, sends fire trails as distance attack and can close the gap by ramming.

of course both of them are somewhat reduced in threat if player uses kb/m setup, but out of the early FPS, they are imo the best bosses.

Eh, it wasn't THAT hard to obtain Doom in 2003. Obviously not as cheap and easy as using Steam or GOG, but I definitely remember there still being physical copies in some form or another.

>With nearest there'd be some slight shimmer in the middle range of the wall, as well as some sprite shimmer in the distance.
Yeah, using nearest mipmaps injects a step-change in quality as it drops to the next level of mipmap that's really visible and ugly, especially at modern high resolutions. You're better off using no mipmaps and high anisotropic filtering to suppress shimmer, which avoids that step being introduced and causing flicker at the midrange, or using linear interpolation on the mipmaps. In quakespasm, linear mipmaps without anisotropic texture filtering looks obviously muddier in the distance than with it, so you do need the anisotropic filtering to preserve pixel crunchiness. Quickest place to see that is just looking at the brick floor at the far end of the corridors on the introduction map.

>>6070426
it becomes more of a noticeable problem on things like objects with highly distinctive pixels, like fullbrights on the side of health packs, which can jitter in apparent height when the mipmapping fucks up.
horizontal detail on walls is also an issue; if you imagine a notional wall texture of horizontal black and white stripes, a sufficiently distant approximation would render it grey; that happening close in where it should still be recognizably striped, just foreshortened, is a problem.

Heres a comparison image showing distant surface textures using no mipmaps (gl_texturemode 1) and linearly interpolated mipmaps (gl_texturemode 3), and using no anisotropic texture filtering (gl_texture_anisotropy 1) and some very heavy filtering (gl_texture_anisotropy 16)

just using linear mipmaps (bottom left) makes for a very blurry floor, which is not the case in original software quake that we're aiming to imitate here. No mipmaps and no filtering (top left) is a shimmery headache with detail distortion (edges of bricks get less distinct). Software quake admittedly would be almost as big a headache as well at these resolutions, but it wouldn't be quite that bad on the detail distoriton since it did perform strict distance-based mipmapping. The right hand two, with the anisotropic texture filtering, eliminate most of the shimmer and don't get blurry. I usually skip the linear mipmaps since the benefit they bring is so small after you apply the anisotropic filtering to remove the gl blurring.
