Hexen 2 but on Steam, Gamejolt, Xbox Game Pass, and Origin

Poison of envy and smite of disrespect.

>>6163570
without any sarcasm:
i'm glad that post happened

That mech mod is looking real good, there's a serious lack of giant robot simulators these days.

>>6163570
Who would have thought that Dracula played Doom? Also ZeroMaster as a Belmont confirmed.

imagine not liking unreal

Started playing Shadow Warrior, what the fuck is up with this level design? The switch hunting from level 2 onward feels like Hexen and I hate it.

Imagine wanting to kill yourself every day

>>6163563
>not having microtransactions is now considered a great and daring choice
the state of the modern game industry

>talking about new games on a retro board
Kill yourself kudasai.

>>6163578
It would be better if they had their own mapsets. Doom maps don't really fit, still cool though.
Wonder how an Armored Core Doom would play like.

>>6163628
sounds crazy, haha

Is Blood: Fresh Supply in a good state now?

update on me, the guy that bought his first neo-boomer shooter

previously: dusk is way too easy on medium
I was never the best at retro FPS games, but I never died once in episode 1

update: cero miedo is sufficiently spicy, am having a lot more fun

>>6163668
Yes. The innaccuracies are stuff you would only notice if you spent the last two decades being a hardcore Blood fan.

>>6163630
>Be me playing Quake 3
>Want some new skins
>Can easily download them from the web
>Nowadays I should pay to see Homer Simpson fighting Duke Nukem.

That sucks.

>>6163672
I don't care about much innacuracies, but the game was very buggy when I first played it. The dynamite didn't exploded on your hand when you died and that really made me upset to not play it anymore.
Are the devs still updating it? I remember a new patch was releasing every week, making your saves unusable. Also, the multiplayer were a mess.

>>6163678
Last patch was in august, I don't think they're still working on it.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=1010750

>>6163678
Haven't experienced any bugs since the day 2 patch. Don't know about multiplayer.
They aren't updating it anymore because they've been stopped by Atari

It seems that the guys selling boxed copies of that Mars 3D translation just vanished from existence. Shame. Wish I could buy a copy.

>>6163682
>they've been stopped by Atari
For what? To work on System Shock?

This list has been updated for the latest patch, looks like it's still pretty buggy. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1010750/discussions/0/1644292444647662838

>>6163668
I mean, if you really don't care about inaccuracies, sure.
The game is not going to get patched more, Atari pulled the plug back in august.
It's not like BuildGDX (runs demos perfectly and has a software mode now) doesn't exist.

I need to refine the fuck out of this thing but it's kinda exciting to see it come together.
A few other weapons need further work, this set is gonna be a bitch to make feel right.

Where can I learn about level design?
I'm trying to make new maps, but they all seem very void of creativity, or just swiping from things I played before.
I also lack a lot of fundamental knowledge of what makes a good map good, so I really want to learn.

>>6163684
>Mars 3D translation
I think that was like a limited release deal. I looked at that page a few weeks ago and it said he had like nine copies of it left. Guess somebody bought the remaining copies to hoard them.

>>6163686
Because the current owners of the Atari name don't want to put any more money into it anymore and consider it's current state "good enough" to sell to people who are too lazy to do their research and realize that there's better alternatives to playing Blood.

just make slaughtermaps plz and thank

>>6163739
looks pretty retarded op but i like the art and the dominoes effect on it mass effectively instakilling pinkies

>>6163781
Yeah, the damage is going to get way scaled back when I'm done with this. It's also going to burn through cells quickly.

>>6163783
>the damage is going to get way scaled back when I'm done with this.
Gay.
Make it the bfg it looks satisfying as an op wep make it weak and its shit

>>6163739
Looks OP.

>>6163784
No sets have BFGs in Combined_Arms. If the BFG spray thing doesn't work out in a way I'm happy with I'll trash it and try something else.

oh its combined arms no wonder it looks op
never could figure out what maps to use those classes on, theyre nearly guncaster levels of broken

>>6163789
I won't argue the sets are OP but they're nowhere near guncaster levels.

>>6163780
I wish map making could be so... dead simple.

>>6163789
idk those arms look pretty separate

>>6163793
blaz is nearly guncaster level, his fully upgraded shit just destroys everything for basically free and he heals for free

doomguy is fine

purple leg guy is the most broken character ive seen in a remotely competantly made mod, actually more overpowered than guncaster, who at the very least, cant spend entire maps actually completely 100% immune to all damage. he can be very tough, but still cares if, say, cyberdemon hits him. purple guy can fight 15 cyber demons at once using a single weapon and win without moving off the spot he started the fight on

dunno how doomguy was done so right and then purple face is how he is. hes both unfun to use and mindlessly broken. even without invul, his kicks break the game. his infinite heals with 0 risk break the game. everything he does, except, ironically, shooting, breaks the game

guncaster really only gets super broken if you lean incredibly heavily on the shotgun, explosive, bfg or top tier spells

>>6163668
It's playable, but it's never going to be fully accurate because nuAtari didn't give Nightdive enough time and money to fully work it out, which is a shame, because I think they probably could have.

It's a lot better than ZBlood, let me put it that way.

>>6163751
The 99,9% of user wads also lack creativity and knowledge. Something like NRFTL don't happen every year.

>>6163562
Do you guys use free-look mouse aiming when playing older fps?

>>6163751
Never made a map myself, but if it's anything like playing an instrument you just have to keep practicing. Don't be discouraged if you steal from others, that's all part of the learning process.

>>6163562
What does /vr/ think about Marathon?

>>6163817
It's boring.

>>6163817
I like the Security Guy's armor. Especially the helmet.

This isn't exactly a college course in level design or anything, but if you pay attention to what they're saying, you'll get some ideas about level design.
Fairly long winding, so maybe watch just an hour at a time or so, while eating dinner or something.

Anyway, think of some of your favorite maps ever, not just for Doom but for all first person shooters; what made these maps so fun to play that made you replay them over and over?
Were the enemy encounters a fun challenge? Was there fun exploration? Did the progression flow naturally? You should evaluate what you think is a fun level to play and then try to analyze how to make something that plays kinda like that.

Something you can do as just a simple newbie project is to think specifically of the levels you thought were the most fun to play in Doom and Doom 2, and then make a very short episode (like way less than 10 maps) where you try to make something that isn't exactly like those maps, but which have similar gameplay. Be upfront about the inspiration, people gotta start somewhere, don't be afraid to wear the influences on your sleeve, remember that Plutonia is regarded as one of the best mapsets of the 95/96/97 era, and if you look at Plutonia, you'll see that Dario and Milo took quite a lot of inspiration from Doom and Doom 2, just making it a lot harder and going for their own aesthetic.

>>6163739
Oh, that final attack. Dear god. I need new pants.

>>6163801
Different mod. That being said I'm going to be nerfing a lot of Kustam's abilities in the next update. The kick stun was implemented because the kick alone sucked ass.

>>6163796
Don't make a Dead Simple clone or I will come to your house.

>>6163908
Make an Alive Complex clone instead.

Having this weird issue with ZDoom where for whatever reason, certain sounds, namely enemy and lift sounds it seems, are exponentially louder than weapon and player sounds.
To the point that some seem to jump up in volume quite a lot.
Anyone know what's causing this? I don't remember this causing issues years ago.
For context, even if it's not updated anymore, I like having an installation of ZDoom to play Wads that are more "vanilla" tuned, and I have my GZDoom install set up for more extensive gameplay altering mods that would require jumping and such. It's just convenient to have two different setups rather than switching options around depending on what I want to play.
Hoping someone here knows what's causing it/how to fix, because it's driving me up the wall right now.

Finished Duke 3D and all expansion packs for the first time. Base game was pretty cool but found the xpacs quite mediocre, dropped nuclear winter after 15 minutes. So far this is my least favorite build engine game, not really because of the gameplay but the overall setting and over the top Hollywood-esque type action just isn't appealing to me.

>>6163946
Bad taste. Duke Nukem 3D has far superior level design compared to other Build games including Blood.

>>6163946
The setting is what has kept me from enjoying all of the Build games.

>>6163946
Nuclear Winter is popularly considered to be awful, but Life's A Beach is excellent in my opinion.

>>6163928
I might be wrong about this, it may be related to the fact that GZDoom has 64 sound channels at minimum and you can't go lower than that. This means that multiple enemy sounds can be heard at once, kinda "muffling" weapon sounds.
For contrast the original Doom could only do 8 and PrBoom+ can do 32.

>>6163761
>Hourences
Ah, the good ol' "unreal engine evangelist".

Is it over? Am I finally free? Oh my fucking God.

Maybe slightly off the topic, but here's a thing: I'm making sort of a tension gauge, and writing in a manual about it. How do you call in english a distinct selected part of a gauge that is not a unit (because that gauge works like Golden axes magic meter so all subsequent parts get longer)

>>6163973
I like really like how UE1 looks, to me it's the best looking retro engine that has just the right amount of detail vs. low-poly.
I really like UE3 for how well optimised and flexible it is. (games that look like ass on it mostly do because of lazy devs)
I dislike UE2 and 4

>>6164019
segment

>>6164024
enemies look nice maps look meh because of poor creative direction

>>6164028
But it's the maps that I like the most tho. Great art direction, just the right combo of "recogniseable" and abstract. Cool procedural detail multitexturing, great colors.

doomlet here
is there a trick to getting this door to open without having to rely on enemy ai to do it themselves?

>>6164042
mmm thats prettier than i remember

>>6164046
Cross the gap and get over there. Barons will pop out, so be ready to backpedal.

Is the Buckethead soundtrack worth the 6.66?

>>6163969
The thing is, the most recent versions of GZDoom don't have this issue. It's real strange to me.

>>6164086
Do you like good guitar shredding? If yes, sure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh0SFQavjic

You could find the soundtrack on YouTube of course, but for the commercial package you get them properly cut and looping on the assigned maps.

>>6164024
>games that look like ass on it mostly do because of lazy devs
There was a game design philosophy at the time where they went: photoreference texture, crazy bump for normal, black and white image with levels crunched for spec, don't worry about things being done perfectly because irl nothing is perfect.
It turns out that makes things look like shit. Don't do that. Paint some shit. Know why things look the way they do.
UE3 is a great engine.
UE4, similarly, is a great engine. My only gripe is that it dropped a lot of legacy features I'd like to use.
>>6164028
>enemies look nice maps look meh because of poor creative direction
DISAGREE

For me, it's Powerslave
Why aren't there more /vr/ shooters with an Egypt theme? That game makes me feel like Brendan Frasier in The Mummy.

>>6164142
There's Epic 2, which is (mostly) Egyptian themed, uses a bunch of Powerslave assets even.
I agree though, ancient Egypt has some excellent aesthetics, primarily in architecture and art.

>>6164142
Not /vr/ but theres serious sam.
Hexen 2 has an egyptian episode.
Theres an egyptian level in the duke nukem World Tour episode from a couple years ago. And the GBA duke game has an egyptian episode.

>>6164142
Saw this in my folder at a glance and almost thought it was Leon Kennedy.

>>6164142
Quake has an expansion pack with some Egyptian themes to it, I think it was Dissolution Of Eternity.

>>6164142
Did Powerslave EX ever get finished? I heard it got abandoned so the dev could work on something he was getting paid for but I can't remember what. Maybe one of those FPS remasters.
The Saturn and PS1 versions are good but they control like dogshit.

>>6164137
>My only gripe is that it dropped a lot of legacy features I'd like to use.
Such as?

>>6164092
Well, I didn't realize you were using ZDoom, sorry. That might be just an issue with it then, as GZDoom seems to have fixed it.
I mean if the problem is that you want a "vanilla" tunned port, you might as well try PrBoom+, or just use GZDoom for everything as it has surpassed ZDoom in many ways.

>>6164142
And stay tuned for the expansion "Rekk it up in D.C."

>>6164165
The playstation version of EX works perfectly from start to finish, it was taken down, but is still easy to find.

>>6163562
Hey, anyone here besides me notice that many of the sound effects for the weapons and the sound effect for climbing up a ladder in HL:Source are a lot louder than both the original PC version and PS2 port?

>>6164086
look for SIGIL_SHREDS.wad on google and click the russian link

>>6164239
>HL:Source
Don't do that.

>>6163562
I'll ask again, in hopes there's something like this out there

Is there a MIDI mod for GZDoom that features James Paddocks' repertoire? For example, this
https://youtu.be/l6wb8wsQT3s

I know of Jimmy's Jukebox , Term's , Floppy, SynthDoom, etc. But nothing that features Paddocks' stuff only (no matter if a cover like the one above or OC)

>>6164272
Its not the Engine thats inherently the problem, its how they implemented it to the original Half-Life. Did you even look at the entire post, or just stop after reading "HL:Source"?

>>6163739
No revenant?

Is combined arms worth playing if I thought Gmota was kind of shit?

>>6164484
Apples and oranges

So guys I'm currently finalizing this follower mod and if any of you wanna try it out before I release it out in the zoom zone in day or two, I figured I'd share her here now that most of the kinks have been ironed out and effects and such are in
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sv0z6mrixp25srw/LTGFollower.pk3?dl=0

>>6164517
you haven't even finalized the latest update of your main wad why are you doing side projects

>>6163651
haha imagine fucking having a preservation instinct and hating it

>>6164517
I'll try it tomorrow my guy

>>6164530
Because he is based

What's the verdict? BloodGDX or nBlood?

>>6164560
I'm not a hardcore bloodfan but when I played through the game in BloodGDX I noticed explosives had a tendency to get stopped hard by minor things. Like if I threw some TNT on a table with cultists standing behind it, sometimes they wouldn't get hit and I'd have to be extra sure to land the TNT behind the table. Stairs are another explosion blocking obstacle at times.

>>6163562
Opinions on the plutonia midi pack?

>>6164597
i noticed stairs doing weird shit to my movement in gdx.

>>6164620
Pretty damn groovy. Though I'm also somewhat attached to some of the music selection used originally, just can't go wrong with some Bobby.
I need to do a run where I play it HMP with the stock music, then an UV run with the midi pack, where I just go balls to the walls.

>Super op mod wow
>Super challenge mod wow
>No super balanced mod wow
Why is every mod super op or masochism, nothing is close to actual doom balance. even the shit people say is balanced. its always got weps that are too accurate for their damage, too strong, etc.

>>6164620
Must-have for any Plutonia run. Re-using Doom 2 music that you've heard to death forever is not that great. The only good choice was Daisy's theme for the Archvile Labyrinth level, and even then I still like the MIDI pack's alternative for that better

News on doomshock?

metadoom's implemention of lore pick ups seem to be a bit interesting

>>6164532
lol, imagine absolutely sucking at life, haha

>>6164560
zbloody hell and bloodcm

>>6164620
Great for a replay and shuffling music in wads that don't alter Doom 2's tracks.

>Try exp doom
>Its bad
Was very confused when my alt the thread states is a 'powerful blade melee' had me flick off enemies, which somehow does damage, makes them hemorage exp and stunlocks to the point nothing can fight back. Then it turned out I need to specifically bind a button to use 'use blades' and specifically have regular melee active then press that button. Why? Fuck if I know. Need to specifically bind a key for chaingun and have shotgun active for that too. Dash don't seem to work at all.

>>6164850
Your shit's fucked yo. The blade should be usable with any weapon. Not sure why the meathook needs to be a separate binding though.

Weird, blade is fist only for me. Not that it matters. Blade is weak as fuck without berserk compared to all the broken shit the class has and the 'special kills', which I assume are just the behead animations, seem pointless when chainsaw is so broken, doing the same thing better with 0 rng

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F70vcCLQHcU&t=102s

I'm gonna buy this, then make the best boomer shooter made on this side of the millennium, just you wait and see /vr/!

>>6164560
Fresh Supply >:)

>>6163896
>The kick stun was implemented because the kick alone sucked ass.
I don't get why this is an issue? He's statted as the most ranged bias. Why does his melee need to be good? He's also stated to require the most thought, so I don't see why its so mindless.
Feet should
>Lose the retarded meme knockback or have it massively toned down, you can just kick bosses 5 miles away so they can't hit you, effectively removing them instantly
>Have damage on charge lowered, double foot charge is retardedly strong
>Be both an aoe and stun on cooldown, as a backup 'oh shit' option
Staff should
>Have more ways to vent heat and be able to do so before 100%
>Not fill heat so moronically fast
>Not stunlock so well
>Be more clear on what the fuck the dif between mashing m1 and spinning the stick is in functionality

The gun should
>Start with quick reload item as standard, reloading without it is just not fun, its too slow
>Even with it, its pretty slow for how fast you can burn through stock, I just spam attacks that don't use stocked ammo to ignore the mechanic entirely, or melee since melee is just plainly better
>Its annoying how hard it is to avoid switching shot/charge types on this
Ammo needs work. Its burnt through too fast most of the time, but then you find powerups you already own and get massive chunks given, so it eventually becomes too generous instead. Not sure how you'd fix this. The turn hp into ammo option sucks, ammo given for its cooldown is pretty pathetic.
>I also find its just not satisfyin got fire in general, feels weak, meh sound effects

Magic healing stick
>Needs to be tied to some mechanic that has risk or uses an actual resource beyond time. Its retarded that this is an item on the 'guy who takes the most thought'.

Pots
>Invul
Broken. Raising ammo cost would just make it broken less often, not less broken. Needs its own ammo mechanic or to be removed.

Visual: Just feels lame compared to others, mostly uses 1 color, tiny gun, staff is lame.

>>6164741
imagine being so useless you can't even make a doom map, haha

>>6164858
So is this an open source thing that can be used to make your own retro fps? Neat idea, actually.


Reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllly shoddy execution in the tech demo there though.

>>6163671
Having that exact same experience my man.
I still think the aesthetics are a little TOO minimalist but everything else about it is top notch.

Shadow Warrior's weaponset but Duke's level design philosophy would be the perfect merge of build games, prove me wrong.

>>6165023
Interesting, care to elaborate? Genuinely curious about how this would play out.

>>6164902
It was an issue because he was unplayable in pistol start maps at close range with hordes of monsters. I'll remove the stun on the default kick and see how that works. I really don't want to put the kick on a cooldown or anything like that because how the fuck do I communicate that to the player without cluttering the HUD further?

I'm not altering the staff's heat gain, there's normal staff strikes alongside the rapid jabs you seem to be performing. As for what it does functionally, did you check the F1 screens?

I'm not adding the speedloader as default, I feel like that would make it too easy to use at the start. Don't spam attacks with the pistol. Your complaint about avoiding subweapons applies to all of the heroes, not much can be done about that without adding more buttons to add a lockout key, and I ain't doing that.

I've been thinking about what I can do with the medi-tool but really there's no elegant solution with this one, I don't want to make it so attacking/killing enemies recharges it, as that's going into Blaz's gimmick.

Giving the invuln potion it's own ammo mechanic would make things even more convoluted, I'm not doing that. I'll probably scrap the invuln.

I disagree with your complaints about the audio and visual designs, not changing anything there.

>>6165009
What are you doing it with?

>>6163578
Mech what now?

>>6165050
>did you check the F1 screens
For me only one class has an F1 screen. Every other character defaults to that screen. Left, right, A, D, page up, page down, enter, etc, nothing cycles pages.

>>6165050
>Your complaint about avoiding subweapons applies to all of the heroes, not much can be done about that without adding more buttons to add a lockout key, and I ain't doing that.
Why not. It's massively improve every single character but especially everyone but Doomguy.

If you don't want to add literally anything for the character that requires any thought or meaningful resource management at all, you should go edit your post about your mod. Find this part: "Kustam is best suited for players that prefer a more methodical approach to combat, favoring those who plan and prepare for the battles ahead."
And completely rewrite it so its not the literal exact opposite of the truth, as he is by far the least methodical character, with literal infinite free healing, broken mindless spam weps and literal invul on demand that barely costs anything.
And change his stats, too, since those are also blatantly wrong.

I hope Shelly doesnt arrest me and *take me in* for questioning if you know what i mean

>>6163668
yeah its fixed and works fine, played start to fin including cryptic passage

>>6165108
That shouldn't be the case, pressing enter or hitting fire should cycle through the other pages.

and I don't want to add anymore keys because right now there's already reload, zoom, primary fire, altfire, and use item. I feel like that's already pushing it.

I'm still wondering what you mean by broken mindless spam weapons though, seeing as a lot of those weapons burn through gems quickly, the biggest offender is probably the machine gun subweapon, but that doesn't have any splash damage.

>>6164476
I gotta keep people on their toes.
I'm still also debating about keeping the BFGSpray effect. The other thing I'm considering is something like Heretic's powered dragon claw, but faster. So a rapid fire hitscan that shoots out projectiles on hit.

playing Ion MAIDEN on hardest difficulty and its one of the best shooter exprences ive ever had

i dont wanna be like 'its like le dark souls xd' but its genuinely harder than any shit ive tried in dark souls and im loving it

Doesn't work on my machine :(
Maybe I need to do gzdoom or something. On Zandro nothing does anything in that F1 screen for me, aside from exiting it.

>>6165136
>the biggest offender is probably the machine gun subweapo
That thing is broken as fuck and I've gone entire maps just holding M1 start to finish if there's decent ammo because it even kills bosses super fast. Its also the only gun fire type I actually like using at all. The rest tend to feel gimmicky or not worth the charge time.
The class can stock 2500 gems at a time and once you find most of his shit you get repeat items that very rapidly give ammo. Its why you can also spam his invul so much. If the map doesn't have enough ammo to supply this, chances are, the map is too easy to be playing this class to begin with and doing anything would win.
You can also just mash M1 with staff M2 with feet with no thought beyond ''I should stop to heal now''. Because you have infinite, 0 cost, low cooldown, upgradable healing.
This is how I mainly played the class when I didn't have the machinegun because his reload and charge mechanics are both so slow and flamethrower is broken anyways.
Flamethrower is also a mindless spam wep.

When you take away my need to care about literally any finite resource, which everything but his gun does (and his gun does its just not fun to restore it with the magic thing), including even HP, everything becomes mindless.
You have to specifically use his gun and specifically be low on ammo to actually ever not just be mindlessly spamming whatever you feel like. But then you can just do whatever you feel like instead of using his gun. Every other option is free anyways.

Doomguy is ironically much more involved feeling with much more satisfying shooting and is basically perfect.

Is there any way to convert saves to the newest GZDoom version? I updated and just overwrote all the old files not realizing the saves wouldn't carrry

>>6165164
Just to clarify, you don't need to have a full charge on the pistol to use subweapons, just holding primary and hitting secondary is enough trigger any of them

I'll probably increase ammo usage on the machine gun, and the flamethrower is gonna be changed for the next update, instead of a constant stream of fire I'm gonna turn it into a slower shotgun blast of flames so it's less stunlock crazy.

If I can figure out another means of recharging the medi-tool that isn't directly attacking enemies, I'll change it.

>>6165164
Oh and one of the reasons why Doomguy feels so perfect to you is because he's essentially just vanilla+ mode with extra damage. I've had other people remark he's not as good, and others say he's the most busted character.

Though I'm surprised you haven't complained about the recharging dagger giving him free health, or how you can have infinite free ammo as long as you kill things with his sword or saw glove.

>>6163946
Nuclear Winter really isn't worth seeing at all. It sucks even for a christmas expansion released after christmas

Yea subweps don't take stocks, normal fire does, its why I use M2 and not M1 on the class and pretend the reload system doesn't exist. Its a very weird feeling mechanic for me.

I'd say if anything ammo wise, the cap shouldn't be so high. Its kind of absurd compared to your actual use.

I run out of ammo fairly often on Doomguy. I run out of bombs. Need to specifically get a bomb drop to get more bombs.

This guy doesn't work like that; his bomb equivalent, potions, just use ammo. Practically none. Like 80 for a power potion. Less than 1/20th of his max. And since melee, kicking and flamethrower all kill very well and don't use ammo, its very easy to stockpile a ton, for mass potion spam or rampages with strong alts.

Like I can get it needs to be somewhat high because its a unified pool but it just feels like total overkill. Its another one of the contributors to him feeling much more mindless and simple than the others, who juggle multiple ammo types for weapons or tools assigned to different buttons, while he just has ammo and his other button is on a recharge.

Might be of interest to fans of Duke - a prototype version of Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown was released a few days ago. Beyond some of the converted levels being incomplete, there are differences in the exclusive Plug 'n Pray maps:

>>Though I'm surprised you haven't complained about the recharging dagger giving him free health, or how you can have infinite free ammo as long as you kill things with his sword or saw glove.
>Dagger
The fun of the healing system for every other character in gmota is you are rewarded hp for hitting shit. You want to hit shit. That's, like, the whole point. Its fun to hit shit. Its risk-reward. Its interaction. Its great. Both are great characters largely because of the healing system.
Then you get the third guy. There's no risk-reward, its just reward. The only interaction is with time. You don't, usually, play doom to just kind of stand around and get rewarded for ti, but that's how the character works.

>ammo on melee
That's even better. Melee is riskier than ranged. Should be rewarded. He's not 'the melee guy', so it makes sense he doesn't get his primary resource to stay in melee via this. He gets ammo instead. Because he's good at guns.
It gives a good, fluid ebb and flow to combat:
You shoot, you run low on ammo, you melee, you lose hp, you run back to range, you throw a knife. And you shoot. Repeat.
Its basically perfection. Its a flow to combat that makes blazco feel lacking in comparison, despite blazko being a fun character.

And its completely lacking in Kustom. He gets both of these resources for free. The ammo costs hp, but hp is free, so its basically free.

I only particularly care to say how surprisingly lacking Kustom is because Doomguy is so fucking good. I know you can do better than that. You've done so.

Doomguy is literally perfect. Even the fact I run out of ammo on him is my own fucking fault; I just plain don't melee often enough, his guns are too fun. The fact his guns have low ammo is itself great design. The fact you lose the tempo on the mace if you throw a dagger for hp is. He just can't be topped.

>>6165204
Well I mean you can still throw normal bombs as Doomguy even if you run out of the specials.

Lowering his max ammo count isn't a bad idea, I'll consider that, because I might have gone overboard in compensating for the unified ammo. Another thing I'm now considering is resetting his ammo to a fixed amount on entering a stage, so it discourages hoarding but also ensures you have resources for the next stage.
I've also toyed with the idea of making the flamethrower use up gems alongside depleting heat but that might get to be a pain in the ass. Reducing the flamethrower's attack rate should be sufficient enough.

>>6165226
This is where I'm a bit locked up and frustrated. I cannot for the life of me think of an eloquent solution for Kustam's heals. As I said before, I feel like having him attacking enemies for supplies is too close to what Blaz does. I could have collecting health items recharges the tool, but that could potentially leave the player in borderline softlocks depending on how the map is structured.

Fuck.

>>6165073
Dusk as well. Though I'm not a virginal /vr/ shootman.

>>6165254
>>I've also toyed with the idea of making the flamethrower use up gems alongside depleting heat but that might get to be a pain in the ass
Yea that'd be a bad idea. Flamethrower is already pretty annoying because its essentially ''I can't have fun with the staff until I spam this shit'' mode that activates way too fast fast. Doesn't need to use ammo on top of reducing your m1 options to 1/3rd.

>>6165254

>Fuck.
Well Flamethrower right now is absurdly boring (but very strong). Maybe tie it in to that somehow. Like hitting with that, specifically, heals. Then you'd have
>Blazko:
Heals on melee
>Doomguy:
Heals on ranged
>Kustom:
Heals on mid-range attack, which he has to charge up

If heat only rose on hits on enemies, not whiffs, having the option to just turn overheat into hp and having the healing cooldown item be just the ammo item would also maybe work. But I'm not sure how annoying it'd be to make heat work like that.

As is I think heats a really boring mechanic and healing is a broken one so something that'd fix both of those at the same time would be ideal.

Could also make it so he can only do this to a certain amount of his hp, but give him more hp and damage resistance as a standard thing, so he can lifesteal to a level below the other guys max hps, but if he lifesteals THEN finds items, he's the tankiest.

Honestly I think even straight up removing his heal and rerplacing it with literally nothing would be an improvement over how it is now. Its just too good and dumbs down the character.

>>6165152
Have you played literally anything else on the build engine before?

>>6165280
Problem is the flamethrower is tied to the rocket launcher slot. So tying the heals to the flamethrower would lock you out of it until you find a slot 5 weapon.

The rapid staff jab attack seems to be a problem for you, I'm noticing, the normal attacks are more than sufficient in most cases, so either the rapid jab needs more work or a removal altogether.

I still don't want Kustam to have lifesteal though. I'm trying to avoid homogenization between the heroes

Somehow despite playing Doom since around 2013 or so I've managed to avoid playing Plutonia proper and only actually played the first two maps in the past.
But I'm running through the rest of the series again, which I have played, all on UV leading up to Eternal, and I'm finally buckling down and doing Plutonia on UV, Crispy Doom too so I can endure the sweet toe nibbling pain of infinitely tall enemies.
I'm only on Map06 right now but I already feel my third eye de-calcifying. Map03 slapped my balls against the wall for like half an hour but after that I feel like I've been unlocking some hidden power here. I managed to get through Ghost Town with no deaths, and that's without expecting the point blank Revenant room or the double Archvile drop.
I swear to god I'm starting to see events happening before they do, this is some sixth sense shit.

>>6165280
HOLD UP. I GOT IT.
Okay so what if as you build up heat, the medi-tool is passively charging from that and only that? So you still have the encouragment to stay in combat and building heat to charge up for heals and ammo. The flamethrower would also play into this seeing as overheat would probably charge the tool faster, so it comes down to riding the overheat out for more heals or expending it to kill shit.

This will need more development but I think I'm onto something here. I'm still working on Combined_Arms at the moment but I'm writing this shit down for later.

That's how it worked in original, the damage is calculated via sight check from center of the explosion to the center of the target. So if table is sufficiently tall so the cultists centre is below its surface (or they crouched) then it doesen't take damage. Same shit if the explosive lands right into the concave corner between the stairs.

>The rapid staff jab attack seems to be a problem for you, I'm noticing, the normal attacks are more than sufficient in most cases, so either the rapid jab needs more work or a removal altogether.
Rapid attack, spin-to-win and charge all build heat too fast. You can not use them, yea, but that's fucking boring.

>>6165367
Yea that'd work. More or less had the same idea

>>6165865

>>6165868
The rapid jab will most likely get removed for the next update, the standard attack hits hard and it's effective, and the charge attack is monstrous. If I make all staff attacks build heat on hit then I can have the two mechanics play off eachother.
I think I'll make the flamethrower a default feature of his moveset, and just make the rocket launcher slot upgrade the flamethrower in some way. With that, that means if you're completely overheated you'll charge the medi-tool quickly, but you're left unable to reliably fight in melee, so you could just fire off the flamethrowers and tear shit up, but then you might be left without medi-tool charge for later.

I'm also gonna axe the double tap rapid fire attack for the pistol and make the upgrade passively effect the standard shot, like the shotgun does. I'm also considering adding that AOE stun effect to charge shots so it means you kill the shit out of one target, blow up other nearby enemies, and stun everyone else.

The invuln potion is gonna be removed, though I'll need to think of something else to replace it.

Rapid jab is fun though? And serves the purpose of stunlocking quite well. It just needs to not fill up heat so retardedly fast. Its not like its aoe or guaranteed or busted in general like boots.

>>6165891

The problems with this to me are:
A: The flamethrower is not satifying to use, so I'd just dump into hp at max hp to use melee instead. It doesn't actually feel like you are hitting things unlike, say, the flamethrower in Marathon.
B: Its also not actually strong enough to 'tear shit up'. It doesn't actually feel stronger than melee outside of hitting multiple guys at once. Much weaker than the rapid-fire. A lot weaker than power potion staff, too, which never seemed to overheat for me.
Right now its broken and 'tear shit up' tier simply because it comes for free with invul so you can just hold M1 for ages. It'll kill slower than half his kit, but when you are invincible, it don't really aatter.

>>6165891
>>I'm also gonna axe the double tap rapid fire attack for the pistol and make the upgrade passively effect the standard shot, like the shotgun does.

Yea those are both good ideas. Stun being on charge, which naturally takes time, rather than boots, which are instant, is much better.

>>6165891
>>The invuln potion is gonna be removed, though I'll need to think of something else to replace it.
Set ammo stocked on gun to max for a duration. For people who want to spam M1.

>>6165787
I have a theory. Build lets you dynamically redefine sectors and move their boundaries in x,y axes as opposed to Dooms vertical-only movement, and that's because it doesn't use static BSP and instead has some unholy magic for building visibility that I'm not sure how works.
So, like in Doom, you can check whether or not an entity collides into a wall and stop its movement if it does, but the other way around is not accounted for. So in the engine's eyes, an unsuspecting player suddenly finds himself inside a sector that he shouldn't be in, and can't push him outside effectively, and there is no effective way for a door to check whether it's supposed to retract. Which I guess results in the blocked thing blowing up rather than the entire engine panicking and crashing.

>>6165940
I want to keep things consistent between the two weapons in terms of controls. So if the pistol doesn't have a double tap, I don't want the staff to have a double tap either.
The rapid jab may be good at stunlocking but I can give that role to the spin, it used to do that when I first implemented it, so making the spin a dedicated stunlocking/defensive move would keep things streamlined.

I can make the flamethrower stronger if I make the current one part of Kustam's default kit, and make it stronger when you pick up a rocket launcher tier item. It won't be hard to give it more feedback on hit in general too.

The boots will still have a stun effect but only with the charge kicks, I'll probably reduce its effective AOE range and its knockback. For the chaingun upgrade rather than the double tap thing I could make the default hitscan shots spray out a few of those marking pellets on hit, so it'd weaken nearby enemies. I'm not sure if I'd want to make the direct shot weaken them though.

I'm not sure if infinite magazine capacity would be good enough to warrant a potion slot, seeing as the power and haste potions are incredibly good. Just having an endless supply of the stock shots isn't good enough.

Also yeah when you're under the effects of potions, augmented staff attacks don't build heat, I did that as a compromise because it'd suck if you were restricted to one attack type that'd always build heat. Though if I remove rapid jabs and make normal staff strikes build up heat on hit, then I can make augmented staff attacks build up heat too.

>>6164517
The fuck is this?
Anyways she's broken, ate 4 missiles in a row without a care, reliably solo'd cyberdemons <10 seconds, stunlocking them after the first few hits. Maybe its meant to used on non-vanilla maps, dunno, her stunlock seems like it'd be inherently broken regardless.
Also her tits jiggle differently depending on viewing angle, too; they do this really weird and bad looking thing from the front where they jump up and turn super dark, but from the side, only the one on theo ther side jiggles.
Anything else I'll chalk up to artstyle choices but this inconsistency bugs me. As does whatever the fuck is going on with her back.
Not sure if I'm missing any features, like if she's supposed to talk or heal you or anything, since she just kinda happens.
Her mouth when dead (which takes 2 bfg blasts to achieve) also looks really retarded.
The fact she can eat 2 bfg blasts to the face, fall down for maybe 5 seconds, then go back to stunlocking is dumb.

I ain't ever played LTG because its far too anime for my taste but I'm not sure what that mod could add that'd need a near invul self-reviving infinite ammo stunlocking super strong slut to kill everthing for you

>>6165952

Is this the one that shoots out green squares or something, then you tap again and it tries to fail to hit anything? I hate that one. Any change would be better. It just feels jank as fuck.

>>6165952
>>I'm not sure if infinite magazine capacity would be good enough to warrant a potion slot, seeing as the power and haste potions are incredibly good. Just having an endless supply of the stock shots isn't good enough.
Yea true, stock shots aren't very good. Not compared to rapid firing fully charged stick.

>>6165959
yeah, the marking shot are those squares, making it a natural part of the standard shot will be for the best I think.

I still like the idea of the red potion giving you some powerful effect along with jacking your heat up. It makes for a fun trade off.

Funny you mention "You know what, fuck heat" the cloak and haste potions drain heat super fast while you're under the effects of it, so you can disregard heat with those.

>>6165970
At least for the power and haste potions, but now I'm not sure. I could make it so only the cloak potion cools you off rapidly while power, haste and rebound staff attacks build heat. That'd make the cloak potion even more appealing seeing as it'd be infinite staff attacks, invisibility and immunity to physical projectiles.

The rebound potion is one I've never been happy with and it's been driving me a little apeshit.

>>6166104
And you would have hated Duke Nukem for "get how over the top he is" in the 90s too

No, nice strawman though. I was talking about her weapons. Most of it is explosives. Its a boring theme. Duke had good variety and his explosive shotgun was straight up cooler than anything Bombshell has.
As far as her character goes, though, its also terrible because her voice actors voice is fucking annoying.

>>6166121
oh so Duke bringing up anything nuclear every 3 minutes is fine?

>>6166053
as >>6166102 said, her lines are pretty bad. But also her design is pretty dogshit. No I'm not advocating for "M-muh booby bikinis!". She just looks... generic. Short-ish brown hair and a super plain "futuristic" police outfit just scream "yeah police lady". Unironically her design in the actual Bombshell game is probably better.

>>6166102
Yeah, there's no real "wow this gun is fucking FUN" type of gun like there is in Blood, Duke or hell even Shadow Warrior. It just normal guns and then some grenades. The rollerbombs we're close enough but everything else was just basic.

I also say all of this while genuinely loving the game, but shit like that made it below Blood for me, and around the same quality (but probably lower) than Duke. Hell, if SW's level design wasn't ass like 60% of the time it'd be a strong contender too.

There's Hexercise and HexArcana, they do exactly what you're describing.
Hexercise hasn't been updated since like 2013, but it should probably still function on newer GZD versions. It gives each class altfires and slightly changes weapon behavior.
HexArcana is very new I think, its last update wasn't too long ago. It's a bit more involved, each weapon now has three modes of attack, and you might need to bind your reload key if you don't like holding down the alt-fire to perform things. There's a stamina and magic gauge separate from the traditional blue/green mana, and the cleric and mage have their own unique systems in regards to health and mana regeneration. I think the mage is able to completely change the way every weapon function works, adding even more depth to the class.

Wouldn't the tits just drag across the ground since she scuttles around like a centipede

>>6166209
I mean of course she wouldn't have tits as big like that but that feels more plausible than "The marketing wouldn't allow us".
I mean MG shown tits in Wolfenstein The New Colossus and a sex scene in both games.

If they gave tits to Whiplash then it would be like the Iron Maiden from Quake 2.

>>6166204
HOLD ON I'm retarded.
Hexercise also changes up some of the enemies to compensate for the revamped classes that would otherwise make the game a cakewalk.
Most of the changes seem minor, except for the ones applied to the Centaur, who no longer brings the game's flow to a screeching halt every time it gets hit because it decided to bring up its shield for 4 seconds.

So if that sounds like something you dig, go for it. The mod isn't that big anyways, I think it's about 1MB or so.

>>6166204

Archangels in Hideous Destructor are the most confusing shit ever, I swear to John.

I almost had a stroke when an Archvile decided to be bros for life and started following me around, resurrecting everything. The last time everything started resurrecting, I didn't even get what was going on at all and ran to the next level.

I made a playlist for ease of sharing, anything I should add or take out? should I change the order the videos?

i actually like her ion fury design.

it might seem generic but it fits the idea of her being off brand duke nukem in that she's more inspired by modern action heroes instead of 80s & 90s action heroes like duke was.

her design in bombshell feels a little overdesigned IMO while her earlier designs in DNF and the alien armageddon mod are just R63 duke.

Terminator Future Shock?

Trying to 100% ultimate doom on UV with fast monsters and e4m1 is fucking breaking me. The best i've been able to do is ending the level with no ammo, 18% health and 1 baron remaining. No matter how many times i do it there is never enough ammo. I've tried to cheese the baron by fisting him through the bars where you get the red key then ducking back around the corner but fisting a fast baron to death without berserk is fucking impossible, even with the bars and partial cover. I've watched a few demos of people managing to beat the level with a shell or two to spare but I can't seem to do it. RNGesus has abandoned me.

Finished Back to Saturn X 2

Preferred it wayyy better than 1. The art is just great, the combination of mesoamerican art with gothic art renders a pretty esoteric hell. Landscapes are also much more distinguishable than the smush of black, green / blue that EP 1 was.It does have one problem tho': Map12 fucking sucked. probably the only map acroos both episodes that I couldn't stand playing. The first level after hub III was also quite ugly. Clearly they are gonna rework hell textures for EP 3

Didn't reallly like how the second-to-final map set turned to nearly slaughter. But I think I'm just getting tired of +400 monsters maps in general. Final map was a blast tho. Secret map was an actually fun slaughter map.

This is probaby the WAD that made best use or archiviles I have seen in any doom mod. Few placements were unfair (played only UV) but some ambushes bordered on the ridiculous. If there's one thing I'd complain is the game expecting you to run circular arenas against cyb while there's large monsters roaming around. you have little choice but to die and try again

Also am i high or vanilla DOOM is meant to have infinite height monsers?

>>6166632
Impressive as hell, but felt near pointless to me when I can always just play Doom 4.

>>6166680

>>6166703
Duke Nukem 3D has reloading.
Shadow Warrior has reloading.

Hell, even Doom 2 has reloading.

If you make it quick and unobtrusive I'm willing to let it pass.

Unironically, who would win in a fight to the death?

>>6166718
I never knew, always played thought zdoom most of the time

so if I fire the shotgun or a missile from a hill I can hit an enemy below? Same if a bullet goes above an enemy? saves a lot of ammo

>>6166632
Its a mod trying to be a bad game.

>>6166728

Everyone else in the pic had such low survivability that when they were put in that one crossover mod I forget the name of they specifically got made to take more damage than everyone else globally

>>6166731
I don't think projectiles or hitscans will hit infinitely tall actors.

>>6166636
So Im this ^ guy.

I tried to play through Thy Flesh on Yehovah difficulty in Babel... It fucked me harder than plutonia UV pistol start, on e4m2. It was way worse than playing on Nightmare. So much worse. The enemies have speedier attacks than UV fast, and they do way more damage. I think the health items on the maps are decreased.

Maybe a TAS could do it, I could not.

>>6166731
no, projectiles, hitscans, and picking up items all factor in height

The Infinite Height Question

>>6166728
In terms of video game logic, Wang wins a straight fight. He has a nuke launcher.

In terms of what they're like in their own canon, I think it would be Caleb. He's already survived death and then killed a god afterward, who knows how powerful he is now that he absorbed Chernobog's power.

Not to mention the fact that he can kill giant stone gargoyles with an iron pitchfork. Takes him a while, but still.

At nearly any range, he can turn bodies to sand with a magical doll, so he could kill Wang or Duke from 400 yards away before the fight even starts.

what are some good combat-heavy wads that focus more on battle and less on key-collecting that are NOT slaughterwads?

>>6166831
in the console type gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_nearest and fov "value". same as in quake. in the options menu there should be an option to disable shadows

>>6166835
Thanks, the only other question is how do i get rid of the flickering on that occurs when you pause the game? I don't know if that's a common problem. Oh, and how do I unlock the framerate, it's locked at 70fps for some reason?

What are your favourite music replacements for Doom that match the game in atmosphere and age if that makes sense.
I love things like Sawed the Demon and Doom's Gate but I hate the other dark and depressing songs like Sign of Evil (I know everyone else loves it).

I play Doom with the PSX music WAD from the Playstation release which is more ambient but it is awesome too. Not action-y though.

>>6167032
A) Apply chainsaw to corpse until unrecognizable, fragshards may still gradually restore it.
B) Crush the corpse in a door or crusher.
C) Find someplace to get rid of it, dump it down a pit, stuff it in under a ledge where the monster wouldn't have room to stand up, etc. Basically think of a place to move the corpse where if it got up and started (trying) to move around, it would be of no, or at least less of a hazard to you.

>>6166432
>>6166458
>>6166626
I've given up. I'm just not gud enough, and I had to start e4m2 with no ammo at all and 18% health which turned out to not be too bad due to infighting. Much easier than trying to fist a UVfast baron. After 4 hours of trying, I'm gonna be seeing that fucking baron in my dreams.

>>6166632
The alternate weapons that are able to be switched on the fly in GZD, and between levels in Vanilla, are an incredible addition, though I don’t really see any use to them.
The chainsaw is too valuable to be switched with the vortex rifle, which eats up every bullet for some reason.
The red pistol can easily take down lower levels but has a halved fire rate
I see no difference between the shotgun replacements other than aesthetics
The HAR fire much slower than the chaingun, which makes it obsolete even with the chaingun’s cooldown
The GL is simply worse than the RL except in niche situations
The lightning gun is faster than the plasma gun, but loses out on range, and the DPS of the plasma is good enough
The gauss cannon and the BFG seem identical like the shotguns

>>6167167
Don't knock yourself for it, E4M1 and E4M2 are some of the toughest official maps, and UVfast is outright operating outside of the expected parameters of normal gameplay.

>>6167189
E4M2 wasn't nearly as bad even on UVfast, the opening area was a shit storm, but there is ammo and health near the spawn, and once i got the cacos and imps cleared out the rest was pretty manageable. E4M1 wouldn't be that bad if it just had a fucking medkit and/or a box of shells.

>>6167184
The Doomworld release thread for D4V has a list of the alternate weapons and what exactly they do.

>>6167035
Entire point of Plutonia is that it challenges even the best players of Doom 2.

>>6166812
Ancient Aliens

>>6167242
I completely understood that, my point is I felt most of the wad was spent picking off enemies at range. Most of the traps could be easily circumvented by quickly running out before too many enemies spawn. I think the level design could've implemented that challenge a bit better.
Otherwise there were some levels I liked a lot.

>>6167258
I do think the community has since raised the bar for challenging the player. Plutonia is only really still hard when compared to the other iwads. But a player who has had years of experience with pwads might not find it too difficult outside of a few rare moments.

Potentially stupid question but can SLADE view KVX files in any capacity? I have no issues using slab6 to view them, but I was just wondering.

>>6167242
problm with plutonia is that palying unspoilered leads to a dozen unavoidable ambush encounters that will end in you dead.

>>6167268
I don’t believe it does. I think something like that would be advertised if it could be done. Same thing with MD2 and MD3. GZDoom may be able to support them, but Slade has no way of viewing either.

Speaking of voxels, I’ve seen two different sets for Doom. RDVOX and reikall’s. Don’t know which one I should stick with.

Has Decino done a vid on Tech Gone Bad yet?

>>6167276
Most ambushes in Plutonia UV still follow common mapping tropes than can even be found in Doom 2 itself (albeit, not the same level of difficulty). If you're claiming most of them are impossible to survive without foreknowledge, then you are not actually as well versed into Doom 2 as the wad expects of you. Plutonia UV is not simply for someone whos beaten Doom 2 UV once or twice. Its for people who have mastered Doom 2 UV and its mechanics and want a much bigger challenge. Try playing on a lower skill setting, or a wad that isn't specifically targeting expert players if you want a less punishing experience.

>>6167286
What a fucking coincidence, literally the only reason I asked about SLADE having KBX support was because I was browsing DW's wad section and saw the rdvox thread, and wondered "Hey, this might be a potential replacement for the voxel pack I've used in the past (which was reikall's)"
rdvox only has half of Doom's weapons done compared to reikall, so it isn't going to be replacing any other voxel set yet, however, I took both of the shotguns and plasma rifles from each set and compared them.
rdvox seems to take more liberties in design, making the shotgun look more "sensible," whereas reikall's version is more or less a complete recreation of the original sprite.
I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.
Anyways, thanks for responding, it's a bit wild that two people in this thread have been comparing the same things for use at (I'm assuming) the same time.

>>6167276
>>6167313
I had beaten Plutonia for the first time only a few minutes before making that post. I felt like most of them were avoidable. For ambushes they are pretty easily avoided by dropping down somewhere, or quickly running out a doorway which is what I did when possible.
That or enemies took long enough to spawn for me to realize and use the BFG. I stand by that it was a lame way of adding difficulty, but I couldn't say there were any unavoidable deaths by ambushes.

>>6167313
Nah it isn't punishing, it's just bullshit ways of setting up encounters. Plutonia is mid term in terms of difficulty.

Being good at playing the same 32 maps multiple times isn't being good a maneuvering the DOOM engine quirks. Setting up monsters in such way you get killed almost instantly if you don't have full armor and hp is not building the game around pro players, it's bad enemy placing.

Compare it to a modern hard WAD like btsx: It has ambushes that rape you ten ways to sunday but they are not configured in a way monsters see you first and attack first. You always have a maneuver available.

Casi in point: the hundred imps ambush in the secret map of btsx2. You see 3 ammo things put there, and for a reason: It's hinting you that the strategy is to stand your ground in the middle and BFG the imps as they come, not sure away.

>>6167353
*not run away

In Hideous Destructor how can you get around that thing with the ZM66 and not being able to use old/reloaded mags?

>>6167353
>Setting up monsters in such way you get killed almost instantly if you don't have full armor and hp is not building the game around pro players, it's bad enemy placing.
I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, as Plutonia almost never has encounters like this.
>btsx: It has ambushes that rape you ten ways to sunday
huh? I always knew BTSX as being among the easier mapsets of the modern community. Even E2, which upped the difficulty compared to E1, wasn't really that hard outside of a few maps in the later half.

>>6164142

>>6167386
Hit reload again when the message pops up. You'll suffer more frequent jams using unsealed mags, though. I wouldn't ever bother with it unless you're left with no alternative whatsoever.

>>6167080
Babel is a gameplay mod. It combines minor sprite fixing project, some elements of smooth doom, some of the mechanics of Burl Tumd, new difficulties, a couple new weapons, several new monster abilities...

It's basically Doom mod magic. Try it out!

Tip: I turn off tracers in the Babel options section by default, but you might like them.

>>6167390
>I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, as Plutonia almost never has encounters like this.
it has multiple chaingunner ambushes m8. some literally behind you. Can't remember the map but the most infamous one probably being a previously empty teleport landing having +6 chaingunners looking right at you. End result: something like 50hp/second, and it takes several to find cover in that section. There's 4 or 5 times where this scenario happens.

There's a reason plutonia is famous for revenant and chaingunner abuse.

>I always knew BTSX as being among the easier mapsets of the modern community.

btsx mostly plays around throwing a bunch of monsters that can hit very hard if caught unprepared, but is otherwise normal. It does have a couple bad encounters (small room teleport ambushes that can make the level downright unwinnable if you didn't preserve the right ammo) but nothing unmaneagable, mostly because they always present a tactical way out.

It does have some slaughter tier ambushes but you are usually packing by the time you find them. except the ep1 map1 ambush, what the hell where they thinking.

>>6167442
I think the revenant usage in Plutonia is a tad overstated nowadays. It has a lot more than the other iwads for sure. But most modern pwads use just as much if not more than Plutonia itself did.
Chaingunner usage definitely still sticks out, yeah. Though I don't remember most of them being instakill ambushes.

>except the ep1 map1 ambush, what the hell where they thinking.
If you're talking about the SSG secret, I think the point is that they wanted to make obtaining it early be a reward for more skilled players. If you skip the secret, you'll find one in map3 anyway (or map2 if playing on ITYTD/HNTR).

>>6167442
>>6167470
in BTSX map01 i just grab the SSG and bolt for the exit. it's the pussy solution, but it works.

Is it even worth bothering downloading mods from mediafire anymore? Trying to download Angled Doom from it and it tried to redirect me to another website. Seems sketchy when most other modders host their mods from better websites.

>>6167470
Honestly the Archviles tend to get used more unfairly than either the Chaingunners or the Revenants.
There's plenty of "hey, you're in a nearly empty room with two archviles now, hope you can find a wall to hide behind while the fire envelopes you"

>>6167474
Use adblock? I've never ever ever had an issue with mediafire. If adblock doesn't work use noscript with firefox, it breaks every site but it provides ultimate protection.

You talking about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET3HgFwRIO0

>>6166961
Why are doomniggers so retarded?

>>6167494
Chocolate is accurate to the point of recreating vanilla crashes and map limitations. Crispy cleans that stuff up and adds some quality of life things like a 640x480 mode and uncapped framerate. Doom Retro is practically someone's personal ZDoom mod made out of a Chocolate Doom fork. It's not really intended to be accurate at all.

So the makers of Plutonia went on to work with Valve on Half-Life. Are there any areas in the Half-Life series which makes you go "Oh hey that reminds me of Plutonia"?

>>6167494
Chocolate is the best choice. It specifically aims to be as accurate to vanilla as possible, bugs and limits included. Any inaccuracies are usually unintended and will likely get fixed if reported to fraggle. Exceptions are that the demo and savegame limits are optional (as they only really inconvenience the player in maps that otherwise work perfectly fine), alongside novert and always run being actual options in setup.

>>6167472
yeah I kinda imprinted on myself that you can only beat a level if you beat through every monster encounter. "running away" is not really a concept in my head.

Btsx made me realize that. There's a number of encounters and player starts meant to put you on the run to a safer place. I just kept dieing and reloading until I managed to punch through.

>>6167482
don't remember going "this is bullshit" on archviles on plutonia. i do recall a couple "archvile on the other side of a plain square room" encounters but those always had a door you could snipe them from.

Eh revenants are more of a meme, Plutonia's placement of them put player movement on a new direction someone playing the vanilla games wouldn't have thought of. but pretty much most modern WADs are designing with running from revenants in mind like plutonia did. Some do it more subtly than others.

I do prefer BTSX Episode 2 myself. Episode 1 is still great fun, and still looks pretty good for vanilla doom. But Episode 2 brought in a sense of adventure and mystery to its maps that I felt was lacking in Episode 1 (Tough Skin River did sorta have this vibe, but that was it).
>Clearly they are gonna rework hell textures for EP 3
From what I've seen of screenshots, Episode 3 isn't going to be Hell themed. It's more going to be set in an otherworldly purple dimension that you entered from the portal at the end of Episode 2.
>Map12 fucking sucked. probably the only map acroos both episodes that I couldn't stand playing.

The extra things flying out of of the player as they attack are just cosmetic, the real damage dealer is the hitscan and what flies out of the hitscan

I'm watching you and your self promotion bud
But honestly it seems pretty cool, I might give it a shot on ky next playthrough of the vanilla WADS

Hexen.

Question if the mod dev is here. Why not post it on Doomworld or Zdoom?

>>6168067
You need to make 17 more posts about Hexen to solve the puzzle.

One twelfth of the puzzle has been solved on /vr/

What's your favorite class in Hexen II /vr/?

Does anyone know the title of this track?

Trying to play a wad with ZBloody Hell to get the weapons and enemies, but the custom props fuck up the maps. Is there a way to remove them?

Thanks in advance?

After obsessing over pixel perfect and aspect ratio correction, I can't ever see a Doom screenshot the same.
Fuck my autism.

Why do people like the Hotel Hell level in Duke3D? I thought it's an ugly mess.

I should take another look at my Heretic-Hexed folder to reorganize, update and label everything properly.

Anything good I'm missing here? got a bit of everything for a preliminary dive: Elf Gets Pissed, the history of fruit, faithless, wrath of Chronos, Wayfarer's Tome, Curse of D'sparil...

I always felt episode 3 in general was overrated.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

What exactly... are you trying to say?

Not interested, dear foolish thoughslave.
>Jesus' and Muhammad's anti-life anti-nature teachings
>not precursors to communism.
>INB4 bullshit claims that Christianity is a polar opposite to Islam.
WRONG! Both programs have a long history of bloodshed and desecration towards Pagans, Buddhists, Zoroastrians and other belief systems that didn't fit in with the "new norm".

The aspect ratio in his screenshot looks correct to me, notice how Doomguy's head isn't compacted.

Speaking of Heretic, what happened to that anon who made Dexterous Elf?

Maybe he abandoned it, I still have V1 in my hard drive if anyone is interested, it was like wayfarer's tome but even more lite. It showed some promise.

>>6168337
Indeed. No new monsters (except for the shit boss), no new weapons, no new effects, barely any novelty. Levels are short and progression is nonexistent, just one short map to another. Also leveldesign is questionable, there were many WTF moments, ie. the entire Movie Set or Fahrenheit maps. Boss level is anticlimatic shit (but that can be said about episode 2 and episode 5 bosses as well).

Anyone here besides me notice that Steam is down in the USA and much of Europe as well as maybe also Hong Kong and South Africa?

Doom aspect ratio is a rabbit hole of chaos.
Basically, Doom only renders correctly with multiples of 320x200 that gets aspect corrected.
Everything else gets wrong pixel sizes, including Chocolate Doom, that renders pixels with nearest neighbor if you have 1080p screen.
>>6168382
That is correct, as Crispy Doom prioritizes aspect ratio correction to correct pixels. However the pixels are not fully rectangular, resulting in a mix of wrong sized pixels.

All the classes suck

Demoness, then Necromancer. Crusader is the most fun with the Tome of Power. Paladin is boring. Assassin sucks.

oh it's official?
i don't know why i was under the impression that it was some rando's doing

''As followers, they are very combat heavy and can actually carry you in vanilla play''
What he means by this is ''in all play''. Because they have enough hp to tank a point blank tracer included bfg shot then 6 rockets in a row before dying. And get up 5 seconds later at max HP. Functionally immortal.

"
As by LTG style, since this follower is directly ported from it, be warned that there is lot of suggestive themes with the sprites and such, however no actual nudity outside of perhaps semi bare butt is present at max"
This is also wrong because her death shows a nipple.

Pretty bad mod unless you happen to be playing Doom with a single finger and therefore need it to play itself.
