So I mouselooked away Icon of Sin, meaning I technically beat Doom 2 by zoomer standards. Wow, the only levels I liked in that entire game were the first 7 and maybe Living End. Next is thy flesh consumed, right?

>>6244087
Probably could yeah. But I could take it or leave it. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, and then I forgot about it until I came back to 4chan just now.

>>6244152
Good fucking luck.

Don't you just hate it when you start testing your map and can't beat it?

>>6243941

That type of modding really wasn't a thing back in HL's modding heyday everything was TC or just custom maps.
Outside of what you mentioned there is: Half-Nuked (Duke in HF), Counter Life (CS1.6 in Half life), Half-Life Redux or MMod (modernized the half-life experiance improved the engine and gameplay, never played personally but some people like), and some really meme ones like crack-life (and the numerous imitations) which turn everything into a terry-wad experience.

Going on a tangent every mod for Half-Life is essentially a PWAD. You can still access the HL campaign using the console "map" commands to start it up in every mod. So some mods they have their own custom campaign can actually be used in the base campaign, your millage might vary depending on how much the mod changes, but some are pretty surprisingly playable from start to finish. That being said this is all for the WON version of HL, no idea if this still works for the Steam version.

Side note is that Sven-Coop allows the HL campaign to be played with extra features and weapons and such even when played solo, so that might be worth looking at.

final moments

>>6244175
Redux looks like ass so that's out. Isn't MMod solely for HL2?

I used to fuck around with that old multiplayer mod Rocket Crowbar in singleplayer Half-Life for a quick power trip, but that's all it was. No challenge, no balance. Of the innumerable mods I've played, none of them are very appetizing for a campaign run due to that lack of balance. Shame, but oh well. At least Half-Life 2 has SMOD and now MMod.
>Sven
Sven's nice, but it's not enough of a change. There's this server, the only server in existence, that has a set of addons that adds Op4 enemies to HL1's campaign, but the regulars in that server have played it so much that they don't vote for it anymore. Damn fucking shame because I'd love to play that sucker.

I have an idea/theme/"objective" for a map I want to make for Quake.
Should I make the whole thing in one map, regardless of how big it is, or should I split it up in stages?
Like, you start off ascending a mountain, enter into a cave system, eventually the caves lead to the basement of a large mansion (your ultimate goal for the plot is to attack the mansion/mansion owner), you fight your way out of the basement onto the main floor, then you kinda go outside on the yard for a bit, before re-entering the mansion and making your way to the top where the climax happens.

>>6244205
Make the squares, rectangles, and enemy spawns first. Then worry about how large it'll be later.

>>6244197

Intriguing. I'll check that, thanks. SMOD was fixed eight years ago, but here's a more current guide someone made.

I don't want to waste any effort first.

>>6244224
Unless you're some pro mapper, it's not wasted and becomes a learning experience.

>>6244226
I am very easy to demotivate and needing to repeat my work is definitely enough to put me off.

Is 3 the complevel for Sigil?
It says it's made for "limit removing" so maybe complevel 9?
While I'm at it I might as well ask about the difference between 9 and 17. If it says Boom compatible it probably means 9, but what's 17's niche?

gigachad hitler

Just finished CzechBox and damn it's a good megawad, sure it does not have the eye-candy of Eviternity or other texture megawads but there are really well designed solid maps here.
map13, Castle Climber might be my favorite map of any wad ever. It's rare to see a map use verticality so well as well as having some pretty intense fights at the top.

>>6244189
That's very nice. Thanks.

I've hit another block in this room - can't think of what to put in it. I'm not sure anyone has ever given me useful advice here, but it helps to talk it out.

>>6244189
>>6243790
>>6243315
Can someone of the local codewizards do community a favour and make a "Universal ammo bars" minimod that would add ammo bars for every ammo type in player inventory to a selected corner of the screen.

There's a universal radar mod, surely universal ammo bars should be possible now.

>>6244313
I think Zandronum does that natively.

>>6244250
17 is for the current version of PrBoom. I'm taking a guess that levels 12-17 are only for legacy demo recordings, and I think one of the versions allows a MBR tag to be used for changing the sky (I think Ancient Aliens used it).
A list of complevel explainations is found here: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/PrBoom#Compatibility_modes_and_settings

>NTMAI makes grenades an inventory item instead of an equipable like Blood and Douk
For what reason? Real good mod otherwise

>>6244325
A based man.

>>6244316
I don't think it does. can you show me where because if it's there I can't fucking find it

>>6244298
I really like it anon, if it helps.

My naem is Dook Nook
and I came here to blow air up ur ass

>>6244327
Oh damn, that was Complex Doom/Clusterfuck just running on Zandronum. However, Dakka has this super sleek thing that's exactly what you're looking for down at the bottom right. I dunno how to extract HUDs so maybe someone else can step in.

>>6244336
I know that Dakka does have this.
After all, its UI is heavily inspired by Unreal Gold and UT'99.
Unreal Gold have exact same kind of bars.
The problem is that such huds aren't universal, and require additional code added to be compatible with other mods.
But I think that with ZScript advancements we have seen making a universal one would be possible.

>>6244338
Good luck anon. Hope you find that special HUD.

I started filling my map with monsters and before I noticed there's already more than 300. Most likely it will be over 400 by the time I'm done placing them. And I noticed a few brief moments of stutter, is it more related to monsters or geometry?

Nice

>>6244251
>Why yes, I own a robot chassis. How could you tell?

>>6244298
Try more light variety. It feels a bit flat at the moment.
Also the central structure could be made into a kind of a pavillon so it'd be open from some sides while still providing cover. Think 2nd room of E1M1 or a slightly elevated part surrounded by 4 pillars.

>>6244398
Yes, I'm considering adding windows to the central structure, but unsure about placement. It's actually hollow with a door on the other side.

>>6244402
Nice. Then I'd play around with the lights like I said, I think it'd look particularly nice if the main room stayed relatively bright and the central structure were darker inside, or vice versa

>>6244205
Split it up. I was playing Quake 1.5 and on the final level my frame rate tanked to the point that it was unplayable because of how large the map was

>>6244250
You can run Sigil on Crispy Doom; you don't need a Boom compatible source port. Use Ultimate Doom compatibility

>>6244092
why is ROTH weird & scary at the same time?

>>6244429
How was the optimization though? How many parts of the map were visible at once?

>>6244435
I think he was asking what the intended comp level was.
Which AFAIK should be as vanilla as possible, as it was made to just be limit removing, correct?

>>6244298
Maybe you can find some helpful advice here:

>>6244531
Doom 2 has plenty of good maps, it's just rough around the edges with a couple of bad ones.

>>6244576
There is no excuse for The Chasm.

>>6244580
Yes there is, it's actually good.

>>6244581
(You)

>>6244583

>>6244580
Can we let this meme die already? The Chasm and Monster Condo are some of my favorite Doom 2 maps. Sandy has some really interesting sensibilities when it comes to level design.

>>6244637
The Chasm is just shitposting.
It's a dumb map with a shitty gimmick. If you enjoy it, go ahead, but don't pretend it's good. Be secure enough to admit that you like a shitty thing.

>>6244638
Come on, The Chasm isn't even close to being as bad as a map like Downtown.

>>6244647
Downtown is also shitty, but for different reasons.

>>6244647
downtown requires patience like tricks n traps. monster condo is bullshit sending a 'vile & a baron at you from the get & go

Can someone defend Icon of Sin?
Explain why that is a good map.

>>6244670
The only good thing about it is the design of the Icon of Sin itself.

>>6244670
it's not good or bad, aoe the romero head to win.

>>6244581
>>6244637

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLxnIMgvDSw

>>6244670
I think the idea is sound. The implementation less so.

>>6244647
>>6244649
I actually liked Downtown, but im a sucker for open city environments with explorable building interiors. I hated the chasm though, the tightrope walking was more annoying than it was a challenge and i lost count of how many times i accidentally slide off a ledge while in combat.

>>6244670
>Explain why that is a good map.
Level design it's not good or bad, really. Forcing the player to battle uphill three (intended) times as monsters flood in isn't bad, but since it's a puzzle map you find yourself doing it more on your first playthrough as you solve it.
The puzzle itself is fine - assumes that you've been paying attention to the games mechanics enough to solve it, but it doesn't feel satisfying until the last rocket. It doesn't feel like you're attacking a monster so much as a wall.
After the last rocket and the AAAUUUUGHHH and the wall of explosions it's a sudden "gottem!" moment that's pretty good.

I dunno. As a "boss" it's kinda weak, as a level it's fun. A big ass monster to fight during the whole encounter would've been better though.

I noticed Crispy Doom does not have a -complevel or -compatmode command like PrBoom or GZDoom have. I wonder what the default mode is. When I recorded my Doom 1 demos and played them back on PrBoom, I used PrBoom's -complevel 3 and I had zero problems. I assume Crispy Doom automatically uses Ultimate Doom compatibility, same as PrBoom's -complevel 3, and GZDoom's -compatmode 2, based on the fact that Crispy Doom does not support Boom maps.

Also, I just discovered this bug of PrBoom where you need to disable the "Enhance Pointer Precision" option in your control panel to get the mouse to work properly in-game:
> https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-speed-demos/52742-concerning-mouse-acceleration-in-vista-7/
I can now actually enjoy PrBoom+!
If you've always played video games with that option turned on in your control panel then you need to re-enable that option once you switch back to other video games.

How can I play the Freedoom levels with regular textures, or at least just replace the monsters with the original sprites?

>>6244756

>>6244089
Only virginal faggots care about UVmax, pistolstart. Normal people who didn't stop playing Dewm in 1996 play on HMP continuous and care shit about maxing out.

>>6244478
Those are good advices though they are pretty obvious. If you don't follow them, the level will look like extraordinary amount of ass, regardless if you know about Romero's advice.

>>6244152
Circle of Death, Monster Condo, Spirit World?

>>6244829
>hmp continuous
is it even possible to lose at that point

>>6244637
I think The Chasm is novel for what it is, and plays ok. I really love all the little optional detours.
I used to not like it, but it grew on me a lot, maybe because I don't actually mind an occasionally slow approach.

Downtown is indeed worse, it's far less focused, it feels totally slapdash.

If Doom II was so bad then how it btfo System Shock, Marathon, Heretic, Rise of the Triad, Descent, Corridor 7, Nitemare 3D, Operation Body Count, CyClones, Magic Carpet.

>>6244893
Good engine.

>>6244893
>Doom II was so bad then how it btfo System Shock, Marathon, Heretic, Rise of the Triad Descent,
it didn't

>Corridor 7, Nitemare 3D, Operation Body Count, CyClones, Magic Carpet?
because they were horseshit. Nitemare 3D literally had a monster that you can't kill without a special weapon AND IT WAS IN THE WAY OF YOU GETTING IT.

>>6244893
>System Shock
Much more fast paced and action oriented. Also cooler.

>Marathon
Far better aesthetics. Cooler as well.

>Heretic
Better aesthetics, better levels.

>Rise of the Triad
Having the huge hype of the first game to build on it, having far more complex level design in most regards.

>Descent
Not 100% competing for the same market. In fact, that goes for a lot of these.

>Corridor 7
>Nitemare 3D
>Operation Body Count
By not being almost mediocre to absolutely fucking atrocious.

Aside from the last three, I actually don't hate any of these games, in fact I think Rise Of The Triad is a small masterpiece which was overshadowed by Doom 2, and I think that though Doom 2 has lots of good levels, its greatest strength lies in the new assets which the fans have built with ever since.

What happened to the sound?

>TFW Fallout 1 was able to implement different damage hitboxes for different parts of of the body for both the player character and enemies in 1997, one year before Unreal and 3 years before Deus Ex came out, all while using a proprietary engine that was mostly 2.5 and preferred gameplay in either oblique and especially isometric view.
Just saying is all. Go ahead and search for a FPS that got past beta stage and made use of multiple hitboxes before Fallout 1 came along. I'll wait.

>>6245079
Fallout 1 isn't a realtime first person shooter, so what the fuck does that have to do with anything?

>>6245079
You do realize there was no ballistic simulation going on and it was just dicerolls, right?

you mean when I raise / lower sectors? That obnoxious ticking sound? It's doing that because I sped up the footage and audio. I was tempted to cut it out, but then most of the audio would be gone. It doesn't sound that bad in the editor.

A lidef to raise/lower floor (Change texture) will take texture of destination floor or what? It's hard to find guide for linedef actions that don't just name them and call it a day.

I agree pistol starting is pretty aspie, but HMP is for people that have only played first person shooters for maybe 10 hours of their life.
HMP is not the intended difficulty.

Are there any Quakers who dwell here? Wanting to play Quake 2 for the first time and I was wanting to know what the most "Vanilla-esque" source ports are for it, like Quakespasm and Mark V for Quake 1 and Chocolate Doom, Crispy Doom and PrBoom are for Doom.

>>6244758
(1/2)
The only way to replace the monsters with the original sprites is using a mod that contains the original sprites... which I don't think anyone has done. The closest thing you can get is replacing the sprites with another sprite mod. I don't know of any sprite mods that are vanilla-compatible, though I'm sure a set exists, but I know a set of sprite mods that work with GZDoom. Here are some GZDoom mods that I like a lot:

Alternative monster sprites

Alternative monster sounds

Sprite shadows (creates sprite shadows similar to how Duke Nukem 3D's shadows work)

Motion blur (I'd recommend you reduce the default values by 1/2 or you might get motion sickness your first time playing it)
> https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=103&t=62772

Tilt mod (make the screen tilt slightly when you strafe/turn, similar to Quake 1)

Weapon sway (the weapon sways left/right when you turn)

Flashlight mod. You need to set Video Mode to Hardware Renderer for this to work. Also play around with your Display Mode in order to get the most out of it (I say turn fog mode on, and use vanilla sector lighting)
> https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=59429

Bolognese Gore Mod (The original version featured a game-breaking bug; if an arch-vile resurrected a gibbed enemy, the enemy would come back completely invisible. This version fixes that bug)
> https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/bbgorenew

Colored blood for cacodemons/barons of hell (The colored blood for cacodemons/barons of hell mod is an add-on to the original Bolognese gore mod. Download the original Bolognese gore mod, but do not use it, use the version above. Only download the original Bolognese gore mod so that you can use the colored blood for cacodemons/barons of hell add-on.)

If you do not want to play on GZDoom, then here are some vanilla-compatible mods that work with Crispy Doom and PrBoom+. These are only mods that replace your weapon animations, and the in-game sounds. You will have to find a vanilla-compatible mod that replaces monster sprites yourself.

> https://www.perkristian.net/game_doom-sfx.shtml

>>6244758
Use slade to remove all the sprites, textures and sounds. Then, load result of that as pwad.

>>6244250
Sigil is complevel 3. Limit removing is always the same complevel and map format as vanilla. The only difference is that it will likely crash the original .exe or ChocoDoom. 9 is Boom format.

>>6245379
>>6245382
>>6245386
Alternatively, clone the Freedoom repo (https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom)), remove all the sprites, and then compile it.

>>6244350
Are you using gore or other visual mods? 400 monsters, even at once, should not lag the engine.

The mod doesn't work on Crispy Doom or PrBoom+ but it works on GZDoom

I have a problem with Gzdoom. The crosshair is uneven. I can't get it to the size I want with all the lines being even.... pic related

Look closely and you'll see the left line is longer than the right line.. wtf

Ive been fucking around with "crosshairscale" in small increments for 10 minutes and cant find a good size.

>>6245493
lmao this is so derpy

what kind of retard programmed this

>>6245498
>>6245493
just set it to 0 so it doesn't get scaled at all, and use a bigger crosshair

I am working on some videos that showcase different source ports in action so that new players (and old players who originally played in the 1990's) can decide which source port they want to play on. The source ports I chose so far are: Crispy Doom, to show a pixelated, classic Doom look; PrBoom+, to show a retro-look but with full-screen 1080 resolution; and GZDoom, to show what's possible with mods and OpenGL lighting. I might include more in the future, like Doom Retro; some anon said that Doom Retro is the second-most downloaded source port, though I have yet to find a source to back up that claim.

One thing I noticed while recording these demos is that GZDoom is significantly easier to play on than the other two. For whatever reason, I consistently get better luck while playing GZDoom, though this is admittedly just anecdotal evidence.

Another reason I made these videos is so that players can find a video on how to beat the original three Doom episodes on Nightmare difficulty. I couldn't find a guide on how to do a full episode clear on Nightmare; all I found were either NM-speed or NM-100S speedruns, or Nightmare Pistol Start runs of each level, so I had to create a route through the levels myself that included only the important secret areas and that skipped all the pointless secret areas (like the one on E1M2 that only includes four armor bonuses). Anyway, I will share those routes with you now.

I am still recording demos, but this is what I have so far:

Currently making my second wad, looking much better than my first one, going for a more half life/doom 3 vibe and its looking great

Here is a kitchen I quickly threw together

I hope it turns out fun

>>6245845

If the entire thing's filled with unbroken flat gray all throughout like your screenshot, I might have to disagree.

How's the standalone Unloved game? I loved the maps, played it a long time ago.

>>6245897
I left those just for reference, not gonna bother decorating everything and doing proper texture work when I don't even have the level finished

I'd like to make a single wad with all the classic Dooms so i can finally play them all in one go. Does this look good?

They are The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Master Levels for Doom II, Final Doom, No Rest For The Living and Sigil.

>>6245992

Huh, i will look into that. Thanks Anon.

>>6246009

I think Wadsmoosh does that for you?

>>6244089
I disagree. I enjoy pistol starts and exclusively play with pistol start unless a mapset is explicitly balanced around keeping your weapons and even then I've forced myself through a level or two despite having no weapons or ammo out of stubbornness. I don't recommend doing that it's never fun.

>>6245804
>>6245802
Is this even remotely possible with DOOM's original palette?

>>6244228
I know your pains, anon, but the only way to get past that (not that I have beyond small bursts) is to force yourself to do it anyway. You'll hate yourself during it but be glad you did it afterward, since you otherwise would have not done anything.

avactor does but it supports pistol starts too

I have an old (but good) Nokia phone I can play Doom on, but the port - C2Doom only supports IWADs.
In the thread where I got it I've seen people posting wads that they managed to run by "patching" a PWAD on top of IWAD, making it into a standalone package.
I want to do that with D4V

How can I do that?

>>6246130
DEHACKED is a shortcut for hacking into original EXE. Vanilla and Boom-based ports only support that.
It does not allow any new gameplay modifications, only recombining old ones in new ways, and is not easy to do.
D4Vanilla and REKKR are the most recent examples that showcase both its capabilities and shortcomings.

ZDoom-based ports offer DECORATE and ZScript that are actual programming languages.
All actual gameplay mods use those.
Look up something like Pirate Doom, GMOTA or any other actual gameplay mods and lok for DECORATE and ZSCRIPT files to look into.

>>6245547
To show the classic Doom look, you need to play with OPL sound and without other additional settings such as recoil or colorize hud.

>>6246196
On Quake 1 - definitely Hexen 2.

>>6246053
Yes, but I think it's due to mapper inexperience rather than a conscious design choice. Was playing through some 1995 wads and there was one, I'd have to look up the name, whose final level had literally zero weapons. It had a ton of enemies and the only weapon you could get besides the pistol was a shotgun dropped by one of the shotgunners. The level was an E2M8 replacement and you had to fight a Cyberdemon, and the game gave you plenty of ammo... for the weapons that weren't in the level like the plasma gun and rocket launcher. I fucking beat it out of spite; I ran out of shotgun ammo despite killing every shotgunner with the pistol and had to pistol the cyberdemon to death to finish him off. Again, never do anything like this it is not fun and I am autistic

>>6246221
The award page for it acknowledged it as an excellent wad though; it just said that the ten wads chosen as the year's winners were simply better due to how high the bar has been raised over a quarter of a century. "This is great but we have even better now" isn't a huge damnation.

>>6246308
Using sc55 you wont get the real retro experience. Fluidsynth is "okay" but OPL is gold.
OPL is somber and creates a mood and makes you feel like you're fucked. Fluid has more instrumentals but its also, ahem, more fluid than I think any of the other soundfonts including sc55, which reminds me more of a garage band haplessly banging on cymbals on a summer afternoon.

For Doom 4 Vanilla, how possible would it be to reprogram the Baron, Mancubus, Arachnotron, Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind in Decorate/ZScript to make a version of the mod only compatible with GZDoom, but in return you don't need the map-specific patches to play Map07, E1M8, E2M8, and E3M8 levels?

>recently try NuDoom
>be utter disgusted
Are there no FPS games with with contemporary graphics that play like a classic FPS, that actually have more going for them than just not being or looking like COD. Now, if you want to recommend me nu Shadow Warrior right about now, please rethink what I just asked for. Is there any first person shooter game with modern graphics without any of the following crap:

>a fucking skill system
>a fucking credit system
>a fucking quest system
>tidbits on the floor that you have to click on instead of just running over them to collect
>level design that relies on "combat areas" and "attack waves" instead of actual enemy placement

Is that too much to ask for? Am I missing out on some hidden gems? Is arcade gameplay truly dead and everything is going to be plagued by RPG mechanics light from now on for all eternity?

>>6246398
>Is there any first person shooter game with modern graphics without any of the following crap:

>>6246053
>>6246268
A mapset could be designed with the expectation that you're keeping stuff from previous map, but generally being able to beat a level from pistol start is a good standard.

A lot of oldschool Doom 2 mapsets employ death exits at set points to create pseudo episodes, and thus resetting your inventory, and sometimes partially resetting difficulty progression.

>>6246425
I don't know why I said the second part, it doesn't have any bearing on what I said first.

I know Brutal has and always will be a controversy, but wtf wizard shit did the dude that made that shit do to make Extermination Day?

This wad is pretty surprising with the mapping, textures, little set piece thingies, stuff I've never seen another wad do, like the weird boss that comes out of the portal in the lab on mars before you go to california

as an addendum I admit my wad experience is limited to OG games, plutonia, tnt, and hellbound. I'm new to all this desu

Are there any other wads that create decently "natural" feeling environments?

>>6246510
and I'll also say, I dunno how old hellbound is but that was a fucking ride, those last two levels were harder than anything in Plutonia, at least for me.

They got too fucking long though, every level past 23 was 2 hours iirc

Without proper difficulty, that presents at least a modicum of challenge and player death, there is no fun to be had for me and exploration only makes sense to me in a game with exceptionally impressive graphics and visuals.

Seriously, if you make a map and I play it on ultra and you don't even come close to killing me on, it's a shit map. I don't enjoy just cruising through an easy map and easily dominating the opposition not because I 'm playing exceptionally well but because shits too easy by design.

>if you make a map and I play it on ultra and you don't even come close to killing me on, it's a shit map
I think that's a bit harsh. If someone is making, say, a megawad, I think it's fine to throw softballs for the first handful of maps (provided it's not baby-tier) for the sake of having a difficulty curve that doesn't end in slaughter territory.

What's the game's equivalent to Doom's UV?

Can someone explain brightmaps to me? Is it essentially meaning that certain parts of textures aren't affected by the shading of the sector meaning they're still bright even in dark areas?

>>6246774
Spot on
Say you're in a pretty dark room and a zombieman fires his gun
If the brightmaps are in place, those mapped parts will light up regardless of sector brightness

>>6246626
What? Should it be heresiarches instead?

I assumed it was pronounced with a hard 'c' sound, like monarch.

Is there anything like Oblige but for Wolfenstein 3D?

I'd just use a Wolfenstein mod for Doom but Oblige gets fucky with texture and enemy placement when I do that.

>>6246781
Ah perfect,I was trying out Smooth Doom Brightmapped but I couldn't really tell much of a difference on first glance. Does GZDoom with Vanilla Essence require a setting turned on for it? I'm using Vanilla Essence and working backwards to get to a nice medium

>>6246531
I like both. I want a decent challenge out of gameplay, having played a .wad which promised to be so hardcore I would shit my pants (Perdition's Gate), I was actually rather frustrated when it never delivered on that.
I'm not the kind of guy who does Nightmare! runs or can do drawn out slaughter, but time and time again this .wad made me go "What? That's it?", and I probably wouldn't have felt as blueballed if most of the maps weren't really boring and samey with little for exploration, there's tiny bits of really novel environments which had me hoping it would get better, but it just doesn't.

On the flipside, a .wad which had good exploration, good visuals, and good challenge, that would be Mutiny. It was just the right kind of hard for me on HMP, forcing me to haul ass and fight for my life at near every turn, and it never felt unfair when I got destroyed (which wasn't too seldom), also the levels were cool with lots of variety, cool and explorable detours, and neat visuals.
I guess to best describe it was that it made it fun to get my ass kicked, and it made it more enjoyable to succeed.

It's not that I value challenge above all else, it's just that I think challenge is an important ingredient. Hell Revealed is an example of a .wad with a LOT of challenge, but the levels are kind of ugly and not fun to explore, and a lot of the challenge is kind of cheap, it never clicked much for me. For what it's worth, I've been told that it's much more fun to play if you've played it before and you're familiar with its bullshit, then you can supposedly roll with the suckerpunches and have a lot of fun.

Really neat laser effect

is it cheating to save mid level in plutonia? currently at map 21 slayer and I'm saving after any fight I died to at least twice. I never save in doom 1 or 2 though

>>6246874
It's never cheating unless you're trying to do a speedrun or special challenge run (e.g. pacifist) that requires no mid-level saving. If you don't want to savescum then don't, but saving a couple times mid-level after you feel you've made decent progress is 100% good. Personally I played Plutonia only making one mid-level save (I made exceptions for MAP15 and MAP32 for obvious reasons), so maybe try that and see how it feels. You can do more or less from there after you figure out how much saving is the right amount for you personally.

>>6246874
You're playing it alone, there really aren't any rules. If you think it's cheating, don't do it. The secret level text implies they intended for you to use saves, but that was also by people who didn't have 26 years to learn how Doom works.

What the fuck why did they consider it okay to take this if it was already in a published and apparently popular level set
MAP08 was also really similar to a level I had played on the list but it was at least just reusing the concept (with much better execution than the previous level) and didn't actually take the same level, alter a couple rooms and consider that done

>>6246874
>Plutonia
By all means, it's hard enough as is lol

From what height do projectiles originate? I want to make a fake Icon of Sin, except you don't have to jump down from the column, you need to build staicases to higher level, and also when you reach the top you instead got teleported away. But I want to build the final column just right to make the fakeout more convincing.

>>6246675
I strongly believe that 640x400 is the ideal doom resolution, 320x200 is TOO crunchy and anything higher than 640x400 quickly becomes irrelevant given the low fidelity artwork

>Why do people prefer difficulty over fun/exploration?
They don't? Doomworld's long article about the history of mapping suggests that Alien Vendetta was the first megawad to successfully combine these elements in a cohesive package https://www.doomworld.com/25years/the-roots-of-doom-mapping/chapter04/

>>6246954
I think Doom's art holds up pretty well stylistically even if it isn't super high quality. There's stuff to look at under the chunk.

>>6246996
Stop projecting your fetishes on everything.

>>6246196
i just hope consumerism culture that pollutes other pop culture media doesn't affect doom of all things
it's like an opposite to the source code/modding scene that actually cared about the games and ported doom 64 to pc before
in fact, doom as a series feels so easily associated with the fanbase for better or worse, it's hard to imagine doom without it

>>6246829
They told me it would be anal rape on that difficulty alone. It wasn't really harder on UV.

>>6246349
So, here went my today in its entirety. I will continue tomorrow.

>>6247030
Well Doom16 was hailed as a return to form for the franchise and a complete improvement over the original and yet it has no modding, plus hell will freeze over before Beth releases the engine's source code. Clearly neither of those things has much weight for the modern fanbase. It's an efficient meme dispenser though.

>>6247065
i feel like 2016 may have been a bit too successful on its own, when some people barely address flaws, even if they could still say they liked the game
i keep seeing shit about how a random guy gets "owned" because he said mick gordon's music is just noise and whether or not he's wrong doesn't even matter, because if it was done with a different series, someone would say something about "rabid fans" of that thing
it's like the doom twitter account and that ice grenade thing, where doom somehow can get a pass on this

>>6247065
>a complete improvement over the original
I'll take things no one said for $500 Alex.

So I finally got to use a neat trick I learned earlier to make dual-purpose staircase re-aligned by a button using joined sectors as guidance.

I wonder how many instances can I create out of it. Probably a lot as long as sectors don't touch, but I can't think of making more than 2 with adjacent sectors.

>>6247092
nice, but...
>texture filtering

I do love all the neat tricks you can do with doom mapping. Especially with Boom stuff like conveyor belts.

>>6246954
I think Doom's art is mostly gorgeous, and a high resolution (+ truecolor OpenGL) means I can see it without distortion, I love how the textures and sprites look, and I want to be able to see them clearly.

It's just rough in a couple of places, with some quick and dirty shortcuts here and there (mostly in gibbing animations), and some of the enemy offsets are pretty janky, but the SpriteFix .wads fixes that, as well as a couple of stray pixels and what not, and it actually shows that the frames often animate rather smoothly when correctly aligned.

>>6247096
>>texture filtering
I don't really know much about that. I just downloaded gzdoom once and called it a day.

>>6247103
Within gzdoom, go to display options>texture options then set Texture Filter Mode to none. The game will look a whole lot better trust me.

>>6246546

>>6247065
>a complete improvement over the original
>Comparing games that are roughly 23 years apart
It irks me when people do this. I thought 2016 was a good modernized depiction of the doom formula that was a lot of fun, but it's laughable to put the two side by side when they operate in entirely different ways. I'd liken doom 2016 more to Quake than i would the original dooms.

>>6247118
It's even less like Quake than Doom, Quake had a tighter more claustrophobic level design with enemies spread out, with less large scale open arena fights. By the way, has anyone tried to play the original Quake campaign with Slayer Testament? Shit is literally impossible.

When i say like Quake I'm more referring to the general combat style (not to mention a few weapons), the level design isn't remotely close. I just recall getting into the thick of the combat in the later levels of 2016 and the speed of movement and shooting was taking me back to my Quake 3 arena days. The Gauss Cannon was definitely scratching my Railgun itch. I've come to dislike how fps games have slowed down pace wise over the years so it was pretty refreshing.

i got some complex problems regarding zdoom and overlay commands.

Any ideas for how I could create a weapon that acts as a constant A_overlay? Trying to do some health status stuff that still does the weapon bob thing

>>6246546
>exploration only makes sense to me in a game with exceptionally impressive graphics and visuals
That's weird.

>>6247227
>Any ideas for how I could create a weapon that acts as a constant A_overlay?
Weapons and A_overlays are both psprites, so there shouldn't really be much difference. Do you want a health readout that bobs with the weapon? A_OverlayFlags() should have a flag for that.

>>6246805
I think he's saying >heresiarchs because there aren't multiple heresiarchs, it's a specific character "the Heresiarch" that there's only one of.

>>6247192
Yes, I could probably wall in section to the right as well, add another one past that.

>>6247232
i'm trying to make a health readout that's its own sprite (separate from the guns, essentially a hud that bobs and moves like the weapons). The two main things i'm trying to get it to do are: show up as a psprite on the player from the start of gameplay, and also not have it switch out once other weapons are selected.

Wasn't someone working on a Doom 64 revenant spriteset once upon a time? Did that ever get finished? And is there a mod for Doom 64 EX that gives the super shotgun a real reload animation?

>>6247264
Oh alright. Well, you can actually initate a psprite from the playerpawn class itself or an item inheriting from CustomInventory as well. If you do it on the player pawn, you probably want to it in a PostBeginPlay override, because the spawn state will happen again if you stand still

>>6247271
Either DrPySpy or Gerardo?

>>6247280
Do either of them have a full set of usable sprites for all the revenant's actions?

Still Kicking

When it comes to .WADs with custom monsters on top of the vanilla roster, am I shit out of luck trying to use things like Smooth/Beautiful Doom? I already noticed pallette issues when trying to use Smooth in BTSX, so I guess I'll resort to Vanilla Smooth Weapons unless there's a better alternative.

>>6247092
Glad I could help

>>6247118
Doom 2016 is completely different from the Doom formula. Doom is about predicting, 2016 is about improvising.

>>6244893
Because Doom was an already immensely popular game and it was good. People were expecting the same of Doom 2.
Also, popularity =/= quality.

>>6247352
Who?

>>6247663

>mfw even with mods I can barely finish the first 2 levels of Doom 2 before I get bored of them and call it quits changing to another WAD
anyone else?
Honestly Doom 2 feels like something that thought it could just have people imagine the things it wanted to be, those "city levels", puzzle levels the likes you would find as an extra, overabundance of brown.
1994 was the year of System Shock 1 and Tie Fighter, then you have just 2 years later you get Strife and Blood and Duke Nukem 3D.

>>6247702
i just kinda play the first 3 maps to test out mods and that's it

>>6244481
git gud

I just had a great idea - organize your WADs depending on what source ports they are designed to run on:

>WADs vanilla
For vanilla WADs that can run on Chocolate Doom. If you don't care for Chocolate Doom, you can put all of these in the folder for maps that run on Crispy Doom

>WADs limit-removing
For WADs that can run on Crispy Doom or whichever limit-removing source port you use

>WADs Boom
For maps designed to run on Boom-compatible source ports. I also combined this folder with maps designed for PrBoom+ for simplicity's sake because I don't use PrBoom, I use PrBoom+

>WADs GZ
For WADs designed to run on ZDoom or GZDoom. I don't have ZDoom, I just use GZDoom, and AFAIK the only maps designed specifically for ZDoom and not GZDoom are lilith.pk3's maps.

>>6247865
im just going to dump them all into on folder and let a-z sort them out

Black gloves or brown gloves in first person?
Black always looks strange to me, ends up making the pistol and shotgun look way too dark IMO

>>6247876
I thought of this idea because I like playing on Crispy Doom as much as possible. If I can't run it on Crispy I'll use PrBoom+, and I will only run it on GZDoom if I absolutely have to.

I just realized it's simpler and better to put the Crispy Doom maps directly inside the Crispy Doom folder, and so on and so forth, but I am in the process of downloading dozens of maps that people in Doom threads have been recommending, so I am keeping those new maps separated and organized for now, pic related

>>6247890
GZDoom changes too much of the logic of the original game for my taste. Even the movement is drastically different: there's much less momentum in GZDoom than in the original. The weapon switching is modified. The hitboxes and collision are also different. It overall makes the game easier.

>>6247897
Are those issues present in ZDoom?

>>6247897
setting the comparability modes to strict should solve that

>>6247907
It doesn't solve any of those actually.

>>6247910
feels the same when i play in crispy and in gzdoom

>>6247914
Then you're probably not used to Doom's movement. To me the difference in momentum in the movement is clear.
The original game doesn't allow to switch weapons mid-switching animation -- only when the animation ends.
As for the hitboxes, an example is MAP17, where some Spectres are supposed to be stuck in each other. In GZDoom, they aren't.

Always wanted to do this.

>>6247890
I gotta ask, what gameplay .WADs do you typically run, if any at all? I'm so accustomed to things like Smooth Doom and other minor Zscript based mods like HUDd etc. that it feels weird to go back when I can emulate the visuals of the former source ports with stuff like Vanilla Essence. Maybe I'm just not picky enough gameplay wise

>>6247702
Pretty much everyone agrees Doom 2, overall, is shit. There are some great 2 or 3 maps and the SSG but that's about it

>>6247897
I agree. The game is significantly easier when playing GZDoom.

>>6247907
You would think setting strict compatibility mode on would solve everything, but it does not. For one, in the original Doom, and in source ports that faithfully recreate it like Crispy Doom and PrBoom, whenever you have the partial-invisibility power-up, monsters can still see you; the only thing different is the enemy's accuracy is drastically reduced. In GZDoom, even with strict compatibility on, enemies cannot "see" you when you have partial-invisibility until you alert them. You can clearly see it in this video - the imps are not alerted until AFTER I throw my first punch:
> https://youtu.be/8CXmAEaiFr8?t=385
Second, normally what happens in Nightmare difficulty is any enemy that you kill will immediately start hunting you once it respawns, unless it was killed by another demon, in which case it respawns in an idle state. In GZDoom, all enemies respawn in an idle state instead of immediately hunting you. I think this is the single most important reason as to why Nightmare is so much easier on GZDoom.
Thirdly, when playing Nightmare, your luck is significantly better on GZDoom than on more "faithful"/"accurate" sourceports, though admittedly this is just anecdotal evidence and could simply be a result of the respawn bug I listed above.

>>6247702
if you pulled out most of the really bad maps you would have 1 or 2 more 8 map episodes that would be perfect. Honestly the first set of maps before the intermission should end at refuelling base, removing the pit and the crusher.

>>6247930
By gameplay WADs do you mean things that change the gameplay like Doom 4 Vanilla or Brutal Doom? I don't use those typically. They are fun but for a first play-through I only use cosmetic mods, such as:

VANILLA COMPATIBLE MODS (Crispy Doom, PrBoom+):
The high resolution Doom sound effects pack: https://www.perkristian.net/game_doom-sfx.shtml
Doom Minor Sprite Fixing Project v1.9: https://www.doomworld.com/files/file/18536-doom-2-minor-sprite-fixing-project-v19/
Vanilla Doom smooth weapons (load this one after the sprite-fixing mod; I don't think they conflict but do it just in case): https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/102462-vanilla-doom-smooth-weapons/

GZDOOM MODS (For when I have to play GZDoom, or when I want a change of pace and want to go crazy with aesthetics mods):

If you haven't already, try out the Doom 4 Vanilla mod, either in Crispy Doom, or in GZDoom with the aforementioned cosmetic mods:

>>6247940
gzdoom is they way the game is meant to played because brutal doom is the way the game is meant to be played

>>6247987
I forgot to mention, the Doom 4 Vanilla mod is completely vanilla-compatible and runs on even Chocolate Doom, but it also takes advantage of OpenGL lighting, and on GZDoom, things like candles, enemy projectiles, rockets, and even health pickups (the blue thing) emit their own light! Pic related.

I haven't tested this on GLBoom yet

Where is this comparison chart?

>>6247897
Can you provide proof

>>6248114
Yes. You can see all those changes if you just do comparisons with an accurate sourceport VS GZDoom. I don't care enough to use my time to make a video demonstrating all of that for you.

>>6248127
Literally booted up chocolate doom and noticed no overt difference in momentum. I don't even know what I'd be checking for hitboxes and such, since you just said "different"

>>6248113
Bruh.

>>6248130
see>>6247923

>>6248134
>Bro trust me it "feels" different
The chad debate

>>6248114
He's not wrong. The way it handles collision in particular is glaringly different. In doom the collision stays aligned with the grid, where in GZDoom it rotates with the actor. This means it's easier to get chainsaw hits on then mancubus, for instance, and you can literally just saw him to pieces from any angle. I don't notice the weapon switching, the momentum I do notice, but not often.
GZDoom is quite different, but it's still a "good" engine imo due to what it adds. It's more of a modern doom engine for mod development purposes, rather than something to play the original games/vanilla/boom wads on.

Just completed Dusk and it's pretty good

>>6248136
A GZDoom developer also, although vaguely, implied that it was indeed different, in a discussion in the ZDoom Discord (phantombeta)

Romero is about to make you his bitch

>>6248140
Try switching to the Shotgun, then press 4 as it is rising, and it'll stop mid-animation and start changing to the Chaingun. Try the same in Chocolate Doom and you'll have to wait until the Shotgun's rising animation ends to switch to the Chaingun.

>>6248130
Not that anon but GZDoom is also a bit slower https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=58618&#p1029576
This might seem as a small change, but it affects how the game feels ever so slightly.

>>6248152
you misinterpreted that
it used to be that gzdoom ran a bit *fast* due to having 28ms tics, or ~35.7 tics per second
bringing it back to precisely 35 tics a second actually brings it back to what it should be

>>6248160
Oh I see my bad. Thanks for correcting me anon.

Ah. You're right. I was going off memory.

>>6246525
I found a download for it last year and cracked 'er open. There's not a whole lot of shit in there that's worth ripping, but there were a few things in there that could be useful for doom modding - mainly wall textures and some weapon/enemy sprites. A LOT of the enemy sprites are just ripped from other games (Heretic Golem's with drawn on balaclavas, Hexen's Stalker, a few Blake Stone dudes, etc).
I did manage to whip up a Skaarj Pupae, a Thunderbolt, an Ion Ripper, and a robot with the resources, along with a missile lawnchair I never got around to coding.

Software or Dark, if you use flashlight.

>>6247865
I tend to not to worry too much about which ports are required, as I tend to know which wads require what for the most part. Only exception is I tend to indicate wads that require GZDoom in their folder names, as I rarely play with GZDoom.

What I do is have separate folders for Doom 1 maps and Doom 2 maps. and then within each, have separate folders for single maps, episode mapsets, and megawads.

Hello Mr. Ironic Boomer YouTuber
I don't give a fuck about your trash opinions and shilling for new "retro" fps games and their rereleases
Just because a retarded Twitter mob and 4chan hivemind general like you doesn't make your opinions any less shallow than anyone else just because you put them in shitty amateur video format that has the voice of someone who's sleep apnea ridden vocal passages were filled with marbles.
Shadow Warrior sucks, Blood sucks, Sigil definitely fucking sucks, and you suck

Took me a few tries but I think this conveys a thrust attack well enough

Any gameplay mods that make Doom play more like Blood?
Specifically, projectile weapons like dynamite, I love how it arcs

>>6247940
Theoretically could someone make a mod that changes enemy and rendering behaviors to emulate that of vanilla?

>>6248343
looks a bit OP

>>6248362
The damage is just placeholder. The wood sword will have pretty mediocre damage after I get the animations done in a satisfactory manner.

>>6244250
Limit removing wads use the same complevels as vanilla wads, because they use the same exact mapping format. All limit removing wads do to separate themselves from vanilla, is that they completely ignore the static limits of the vanilla engine. Most source ports, including PrBoom+ have raised/removed the vanilla static limits.

>>6244481
I think its generally good. But it definitely is the weakest out of the Build trio.
