>>6306669
>The Shrinker
Best gun in the game.
>The pipe bomb
Explosive like an RPG but you get way more of them. Also makes me feel like a home-grown terrorist

>>6306681
I always thought the douk shotgun was cooler than the Doom shotgun. The Blood shotgun sounds shittier than either despite what Civvie claims.
The Ripper has a much higher DPS and it will stunlock enemies so its useful to take out large groups of lesser enemies.
>Shrinker: Best gun but also really sucks sometimes when the enemy you're aiming for never gets hit.
Aim at their feet. It has to do with some hitbox bug.
Expander is the highest DPSing hitscanning weapon
Freezethrower does even more damage so it's good to use that weapon's ammo if low on other ammo

Only weapon I literally never use is the laser trip-bomb

I wish talking about how everybody has a skeleton inside them wasn't such a reddit meme, because I want to be the first person to ever make that joke, right here in this thread with my good friends

>>6306626
It has a bigger arsenal than Doom but a few of them are gimmick/unnecessary weapons. But what matters is that the workhorse weapons feel good.
>>6306681
>Chaingun Cannon: Kinda sucks. 3 barrels would seem good but they don't stagger enemies enough and the silenced weapon effect makes it feel even wimpier. I personally found myself not using this gun purely because standing around taking damage is dumb while corner peeking with a shotgun was always better
Its good when you need to stun a pig cop or kill a bunch of lizard troopers quickly.

>>6306768
Play Eviternity on Hurt Me Plenty. Use GLBoom+ or GZDoom. If you use GZDoom you can use these mods >>6306646, except because Eviternity has some custom monsters, don't use Sound Caulking, use the vanilla-compatible sound mod instead, PerK's Hi-Res SFX. If you want Brightmaps use the default GZDoom brightmaps, or use the Brightmaps Plus mod, but delete the SS brightmaps using Slade and save your modified file as a separate file. Use the shader tools bloom boost mod, it looks lit.

If using GLBoom, only use PerK's sound effects mod, the other mods will conflict with the custom monsters.

>>6306782
Also don't use the smooth doom mod for eviternity since it affects the pistol

>>6306669
Shrinker is extremely powerful though, it's the game's BFG. You can use it on everything but the bosses (and the shrinker enemies in The Birth) and they make Mini-Battlelords actually manageable.

>>6306784
ah yes, eviternity has a pistol that shoots twice as fast and has perfect accuracy, and if you use the Enhanced Smooth Weapons mod, your pistol reverts back to the default Doom pistol, but this will really only matter if you pistol start every map

so I was watching this video in which some monotonous autist repeats everything six times and realised I'd completely forgotten that revenants didn't have jetpacks all along
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLgvdVv5cYI

they just seem like guys who should have jetpacks

Central setpiece in my new map. The map progression will rotate around this chamber, revisiting at several points. What do you guys think?

What's a good ratio of Medikits to chaingunners?

>>6306778
Is this Boom-compatible? The mapmakers don't specify in their thread. I have a hard time believing that players who don't even know what source ports can run their levels are capable of making good maps, but the makers of Alien Vendetta said the WAD is good so I'll try it

>>6306796
Really? I fixed the errors on my own and it still didn't work. Let me try this.

..Wow it works. What did you need to fix? I did F4 and fixed everything I saw, but it still didnt work for me.

>>6306787
>it's the game's BFG
That's the Devastator. Shrinker is... well, weird and powerful, really on a class of its own.

>>6306802
For some reason one of these sectors was corrupted, so I deleted them and remade them. I figured it out by changing the player spawn position and the game would launch normally except it would crash the moment you'd look at the glitched out sector.

Anyone got that WEBM for the initial GZDOOM setup?

>>6306778
I tried this one and am enjoying it. Thank you, anon.
So far I am happy with the rarity of monster closets and lack of teleporting in fifty barons every time I pick up a key.

Did they remove random enemy skins from Smooth Doom? Is there a separate mode for that?

>first time makeing a custom doom wad.

Anyway to get MapEdit to run with Fresh Supply or do I have to download a DOSBox version?

I'm currently working on a larger map, with the textures used from Lunatic wad. I had a very strange bug where Commander Keen would start activating with the sound of a zombieman, and shoot Revenant fireballs at me, he had the health of a chaingunner. I only got rid of the bugger after removing the DEHACKED text file in Slade. It was a leftover from the Lunatic.wad and it started when I added custom enemies. Really weird.

>>6306646
Fullscreen Statusbar works in Prboom too.

>>6306772
NO. DON'T FUCKING PLAY THAT SHIT. I just did play all 3. Episode 1 is some of the worst mapping ever done in a megawad, the levels are a absolute fucking joke. Episode 2 was slightly better but felt extremely bland. Episode 3 only had a interesting take on the boss fight, the rest was also mediocre shit.

>>6306782
>Hurt me Plenty
Get out

>>6306892
AFAIK it's the highest difficulty level on which the wad is still beatable.

>>6306797
i have no fucking idea what i'm looking at, increase the view range in your editor. What's with those box textures on the sides?

What source ports should I make my map compatible with so that /vr/ doesn't bully me for being a GZDoom baby?

>>6306607
>BuildGDX updated to support Witchaven II and Duke 3D World Tour
Will OP update the Mega to include Worl Tour?

>>6306782
Are you using chromatic aberration or something? Your pic looks wrong and I don't know why

>>6306854
>mode

>>6306913
prBoom

>>6306894
It's just the centerpiece the level will revolve around.

>>6306913
Limit-removing or Boom, depending on whether you want Boom's advanced features or not.

>>6306913
DOS on a 386. 486 if you're trying to push it, kiddo.

>>6306934
see, that's already much better. Now, if you want to make this more interesting looking, you should add some sections in front of the boxes that look like shelves (obviously this would mean sector above sector, don't know if your map supports this, haven't done it myself). Otherwise try to add something in front at bottom / and or top, because that crate texture alone just looks D!ZONE shovelware - tier.

>>6306946
I hear you.

Does vanilla support silent teleporters?

Trying Guncaster and I wish its files aid what the fuck they are

I'm so fucking bored, I'm at work and there is NOTHING to do and I'd rather work on a Doom map, but my screen is in view of everyone else ...

>>6306981
Plus we have team screen monitoring software installed, don't forget. So I can see the URLs of the threads you post in.

Let's have a chat before you head home today.

>>6306947
the crates are placeholder, forgot to mention.

>>6306994
haha nice try, but this is a small company and nobody here monitors shit and my boss has no clue how anything works.

>>6307001
Tell me more about your boss

>>6307000
You need to add some green pillars to the sides to make the flow of the textures better. Otherwise maybe the CEMENT textures work better than the green ones on the side.

>>6307004
he sucks dick and eat poopy shit lol

>>6307000
also make the sector darker where the walls are above the toxic waste to create a shadow.

>>6307007
green pillars?

>>6307015
create small square sectors, pull the floor up to the ceiling, then add fitting support beam textures or the green ones. (you can also pull up the floor and the ceiling down to have 2 kinds of textures)

Freedoom isn't half as ugly as I remember. Defiinitely stealing some of the textures for my wad.

>>6307028
The textures are fine, it's the enemies that look really ugly for the most part. I like the Pinky replacements, though.

>>6306669
>The Shrinker and Freeze gun specifically are just really unsatisfying and boring to use to me.

>>6307026
It looks pretty good

>>6306889

If you find one of the literally most inoffensive mapsets ever made that horrifying you need to get your fucking head checked

>>6306752
FUCK DRAGONS
DRAGON GENOCIDE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

>>6307067
Inoffensive? Did you see what these retards did to E1M8? It's an abomination.

>>6306617
>couple weeks ago, I got in the mood for trying a WAD that contained nothing but levels meant for pistol start
>I find one
>each level has a starting room that contains at least one weapon, and some ammo
>half of the levels I never need to use the pistol at all
I understand that part of the appeal of pistol starts is complete control over what you can have in any given encounter, but I also enjoy the build up to better weapons

>>6307076

what the fuck are you talking about

>>6307082
fucking dumbass, actually look at the map and tell me that this fuckery makes any sense both in style or gameplay.

>>6307083

so you don't actually have anything to back your opinion up other than somehow E1M8 hurt your fee fees

>>6307073
You do have a point.

>>6306889
Aggressively bad taste, disregard this person's post.

>>6306961
Not unless you replace the sound with a silent one, and the teleport flash frames with empty ones. Boom lets you do silent teleportation.

>>6307063
Neat. Maybe make the green one's more round-ish and look if there's an even better texture to complement the room's contrast. Work with the brightness of the rest of the sectors, maybe add a ceiling light source.

>>6307085
no point arguing with a retard

Is it just me or is movement in PRBoom+ a bit...off

I'm playing Ancient Aliens and sometimes it feels I'm getting pinballed

I'm going to need to start changing map names at some point. Is DeHackEd what I need for that?

>>6307175
DeHacked will let you change map names for Vanilla (also PAR times), GzDoom lets you define it with the MAPINFO lump, which some other sourceports support as well.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the various impulse codes for Quake? I'm screwing with custom bindings.

project brutality is actually kinda fun bros im sorry for calling people who liked it stupid

Still working on this map. Spent the most time so far on A E S T H E T I C. Got the idea to incorporate the three wise monkeys. Lots of level design ideas too but this is the most fun and non spoilery thing to show.

>>6306669
>>6306681
Freezethrower is more effective at stunlocking enemies than ripper and you can panic fire around corners with it, it is a bit gimmicky but still has some use, I wish I made a webm out of that one time when I was replaying fahrenheit and perfectly stunlocked four pig cops that spawn near the firetruck, probably the best showcase of that gun you could ever get.
>>6306810
Devastator is always at conflict with RPG, former rips through octabrains, weaker enemies and is 75% more foolproof, but the latter deals more damage per shot which makes it times better against everything tougher than alien drones and is far more common throughout the entire game.

>>6307216
To this day I have never figured out what makes it unique.
When I first played with it however many years ago, It seemed to be literally just Brutal Doom but with an intrusive HUD and a massive bloat of weapons along with a demon progression system.
I figured the only reason people liked PB was because it let them enjoy BD without saying so.

>>6307291
They developed it further I think, and some people liked PBs direction more than BD.

>>6307243
So basically an area where you can't see shit, an area where you can't hear anything and an area where you're not allowed to make any noise or you're fucked?

How is EDuke3D VR? Can it be played with something newer and non-Rift like the Index?

How is the high resolution pack? Screenshots look pretty far from vanilla aesthetic, more generic, but maybe it’s better in VR?

>>6307291
who said its unique
i said its fun

I mean if we're're looking at unique as good then think about these

GVH
>i make invul infinite ammo human who outtanks the tankiest ghouls and 1 shots fucking frotsty because hes unique
>what if can infinitely heal allies for free?

Gmota
>I really want kustom to be unique, so I'll just make everything he does mindlessly overpowered, because all the balanced mechanics are used by other characters

Demonsteele
>I shall make the mcs primary mechanic be giving you carpal tunnel syndrome because it is unique, rather than simply adding an autofire

>>6306626
The only fun weapon in Duke 3D is the explosive shotgun
Every other weapons is
A: A less fun version of the explosive shotgun (every explosive wep; half his fucking weapon list, the other shtogun)
B: Gimmicky bullshit

>>6307081
That's every level ever. Every level is designed to be winnable with a pistol start.

>>6307143
Movement in Crispy Doom / PrBoom is identical to vanilla, so they can play vanilla demos without desyncs. It's GZDoom whose movement is off. If you're talking about mouse movement, that's a common problem, see here:
> https://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-speed-demos/52742-concerning-mouse-acceleration-in-vista-7/

>>6307323
>How is the high resolution pack?
Hideous abominations.

>>6307324
>who said its unique
Well if it's not different from BD than it's just BD isn't it?

>>6307340
>Duke 3D
>explosive shotgun
Are we talking about the same game?

Has anyone gotten to work on a sentinel and Urdak tile set? I kinda want to do a retro style level where the Khan and her forces are more of a break away then a rep of all heaven, something to gel better with things like the spear of destiny and the holy water pistol.

>>6306646
Last time I checked, the SSG in vanilla smooth weapons reloads after the last shot. Does it still do that?

>>6307341
Technically you can note what resources you can bring from the previous levels and put them in front of P1 spawn during testing.

>bethesda port couldn't handle E4M6 of No End In Sight, so it's replaced with E4M0 instead
Console plebs won't get to experience the best map of megawad

>>6307340
What are you talking about? I brought up the uniqueness factor of PB because it's basically just Brutal Doom but with some more bloat and under a different name. I don't enjoy BD, so by saying I didn't find it's offshoot unique was me saying I can't see what the hype is about. I'm not sure why you're bringing up various other mods.
Also,
>The only fun weapon in Duke 3D is the explosive shotgun
There is no weapon like that.

Do all crushers go back up eventually in standard Doom 2?

>>6307340
>explosive shotgun
are you conflating samsara with actual duke3d or have you never actually touched the original game?

>>6307369
You won't know what resources will the player start with during continuous play because it varies greatly depending on how the player did in the previous level(s). They could start with 1 HP and literally no ammo just like they could start with 200 HP 200 armor and a nearly full inventory. Not to mention it is possible players will skip on picking weapons even if you put them in the middle of the path for them to get, so if you're counting on the player having this or that weapon already that might be wrong as well.

>>6307382

Where'd all this bad taste come from?

You mean correct and based

I am thinking about learning machine learning just so i can automate doom map making after it processed ALL the maps for doom available to make more maps like those.

Good or bad idea?

>>6307440
It would be a very interesting project

>>6307186
I prefer Crispy to GZDoom. Will Crispy read MAPINFO or at least ignore it and not crash?

>>6307440
look at ObHack and ObAddon for inspiration / reference

>>6307440
There's already autogenerator, but you can probably make one smarter. Normal doom maps aren't that complex, shouldn't be hard to assemble them.

>>6306893
>it's the highest difficulty level on which the wad is still beatable.
UV is perfectly beatable.

Where can I get the deathmatch maps that came with Skulltag back in the day? There was one specific great one but I can't remember what it was called.

I asked a thread or two ago if there were any class-based gameplay mods that changed what enemies you fought based on your weaponset. Turns out, NTMAI, I mod I've grown fond of, does exactly this. If you choose the classic arsenal with the chaingun, you fight chaingunners. If you choose the alternate set with the super SMG, you fight orange SMG zombies.

Also, NTMAI does a good job of playing like Blood in that you can open a door and get instantly chewed up by hitscanners.

>>6307440
Good idea. In fact, great if runs on Linux. However, assuming that by "ALL the maps" you're including PWADS, I would advise against it. Having a neural network that can specifically emulate something like Ancient Aliens or Eviternity would be cool, but this would be much harder to accomplish if both of those wads are just another data point out of tens of thousands.

>>6307441
for you

Where can I find a download for Stupid LMS? Want to play it with some friends sometime.

>>6307414
What ABOUT EDuke32? It's a fine source port. You can play the digital music packs through it and you can use polymer lighting on it. I think BuildGDX is more faithful though as it runs the original game's demos upon startup like the original game did, but it can't run the digital music packs AFAIK so I use EDuke

Ok guys, what's the hardest map, e4m6: Against the Wicked or [Sigil]e5m7: Nightmare Underworld?
In my opinion e4m6 is even harder because the excessive amount of acid and the mandatory Cyber Demon fight in the end(the secret invulnerability sphere is a must have), both are great and challenge stages from Romero (the music from NU rocks BTW)
What do you guys think?
Obviously we are talking about no saving/pistol start/UV

Whos a heckin good Caco!?

>>6307531
Not you, obviously.

>>6307465
Hm so they made it easier than original Doom 2 then?

>>6306606
Is Doom PS1 any good?

>>6307478
You're not gonna get anything good out of 32 samples, neural networks need a massive amount of data to train on. So no, you wouldn't be able to train it to do specifically Ancient Aliens clones or Eviternity clones.

>>6307578

>>6307621
>>>"We want mods that make slaughtermaps fun!"
I mean that's a nice strawman but no one said that
A good slaughtermap is fun with vanilla weapons and if you need op bullshit to have fun you just suck

Yeah, I suppose that's true. Good point. Would it be possible to give certain data points more weight than other data points? What's more, couldn't you augment your training data by mirror maps on their either X or Y coordinate (or both)? The latter question is unrelated to the first, I'm just curious, given that mirroring should still produce a playable result.

>>6307578
Good video. Nice retrospective on the series. Also a pretty decent look at Looking Glass Studios.

juvenile maximalism
those people never grew up
they see the stupidest person in a crowd of 100 and think
"look at him! im definitely smarter than him! these other people dont look much different. therefore i must be smarter than most people!"
not realising that such thinking make them look like the second stupidest person out of the group of 100

for a good algorithm mirroring would make no difference, as the patterns would still be the same.
what should be done instead is checks and aims towards the recognised hallmarks of the good design

It's a characteristic of gamma (loser) males. Here's an introduction to the hierarchy, which you already subconsciously know intimately (as is evidenced by your post) but have never put into words:

And a video specifically on gamma males

>>6307689
That's interesting. While I could see it emulating the hallmarks of good design in terms of the physical layout of the level, I'm curious how you would go about making the AI use aesthetically pleasing texture combinations. Obviously, certain maps use custom textures. Might the AI become reliant on using custom textures? Obviously, since the entirety of the idgames database isn't downloaded on most people's computers, how would the AI go about using those custom textures? Would end users have to provide a "texture library," so to speak, from which the AI could pick and choose textures? If so, that could really open up some customization for the user, i.e. generating a Doom mega-wad using exclusively Strife textures. I'm not super knowledgeable about AI, so I really appreciate you answering my n00by questions.

>>6307706
Everything about this image is fake

>>6307709
Also, the term "beta" in the hierarchy does not mean beta in the sense most people use it - so "beta" in the hierarchy has been renamed "bravo" to avoid confusion. Bravos are like lieutenants; beta males in the sense that most people use the word means loser

tagging each texture with

You might consider trying ZDaemon or Zandronum, but the last time I check, Zandro had completely degraded into a mindless cesspit of Ghouls, Megaman, Zombie donunts, and Complex. You'll probably find more vanilla kind of stuff on ZDaemon.

>>6307787
Why bother, just let them die once to it and then they will realize they're on a timer.

>>6307812

Thats horrible advice

>>6307812
Yes, that's an option, but I'm trying to commincate remaining time better. And also help them realize that timer is also there for the exit door.

Kinda wish I could speed exit door up, but so far nothing works.

>>6307818
Alfonzone has a map with a similar idea and it had no visible timer. It worked just fine.

>>6307809
Zandro was the most popular, I imagine it still is. Though I doubt it has the population it did 5 years ago. Same with ZDaemon. Doom multiplayer has been on the decline, sadly. ZDaemon and Skulltag where both amazing circa 2008 or so. Nowadays not so much. Zandro's last stable release was 2017. If you're dying for Doom MP, both are still definitely worth checking out.

>>6307810
Can you explain what happens whenever the timer ends? What's the connection between the timer and the radiation sign wall?

There are 3 doors like this you need to close. Simulatenously they will also close the the door between a barrel in a crusher and a voodoo doll (Surrounded with fatal amout of barrels). Also the same crusher explodes a commander Keen who opens the door to the exit.

So if you manage to close 3 doors in time, you get to live and exit. If you fail, you suffer a big-ass explosion.

>>6307846
As long as you use a unique texture to "label" the buttons with the doors and the timer then I think people will get the idea.

i remember a lot of my dreams, some doom related and even think of making videogame levels out of them
a way for me to remember them was noticing patterns or similar, even if tiny, elements like colors, time where they were dreamed, objects, mood, theme etc

you just need the latest version doom2.wad. Check the OP for a download link.

I just want to launch rocketlauncher2 through steam by doing that trick where you just rename the .exe to dosbox.exe but it steam keeps trying to set launch options to it and just crashes how do I fix this.

Recommend me wads to play with Hideous Destructor

/pol/ wad aka the apex creation of this forum

>>6307907
Steam doesn't actually launch the exe, it launches doom 2 + mouse.bat, or doom2.bat if you choose classic controls. Modify either to call the executable with the appropriate parameters (or none if that's what you want).

super stoked for reelism 2

>>6307945
it works when launching the .bat but when trying to launch it through steam gives the same error

>>6307961
>ultimate doom
Oh yeah that one doesn't launch the bat files for some reason. Doom 2 does though, so that one should work. For Doom 1 you can replace the dosbox exe with gzdoom and use steam's launch parameters to get it to load whatever files you want, gzdoom doesn't care about unrecognized parameters so it won't complain. It's more work but there's like ten Doom 1 mods anyway?

>>6307974
rocketlaunche2r is a front end so I can play any combination of Iwads, sourceports and mods from it.

Classic, because the core gameplay is gr8, and there's all kinds of great maps and mods.

Out of curiosity, what's your guys' opinions on autoaim vs freelook?

>>6308038
freelook is ugleh

>>6307892
I don't know anon ;_;

>>6308038
I dislike autoaim because it takes control out of my hands and puts it in the hands of the game itself which sometimes points my shots where I don't want them to go. Obviously it's something you have to deal with if you're playing with more traditional sourceports.
But I don't play with traditional sourceports. I disable autoaim and use freelook all day.

>>6308038
I prefer autoaim. Looking up and down in doom engine feels weird.

>>6308038
Freelook is acceptable if autoaim is off, and vice versa.

>>6306606
>7 to 9 months ago: Quake champions was largely looked upon fondly more often than not on Doomworld, /vg/ and /vr/.
>Now: its shat on from time to time and seen as a disappointment for differing reasons like "sabertech bad engine".
Hmm...

>>6308038
Freelook is the most natural for first person shooters over all, it's standard for a reason. That said, Doom still plays fine with the locked horizontal turning, and the vertical auto-aim is a passable crutch for its limitation.

I prefer freelook with no auto-aim, but I'm still fine with playing vanilla sometimes.

>>6308041
In software, sure, but you don't get the distortion with hardware acceleration.

>>6308053
When idtech 6/7 exist, why wouldn't you build your game on them?

Doom looks terrible with freelook. Look at a sprite from top-down. You can also cheat by aiming at the ground and doing rocket jumps, or by shooting down a lift you shouldn't be able to.
>inb4 autoaim ezmode
Doom's autoaim only adjusts aim vertically so you can shoot enemies on ledges. It does not correct your aim horizontally - the only exception is projectile weapons, in which case the autoaim prevents you from leading your target, and can cause you to shoot a wall because it locks on the nearest target, not what you want it to shoot. The autoaim also has a limited range, hence the chaingunner memes like pic related, so with free look you are able to kill enemies from much further than you should be able to.

Goddamit, edited it, and it went into pre-moderation again.

>>6308309
You'll need to have a full set of sprites to match the frames of the vanilla imp. If you're wanting to just make an addon that just replaces the sprites but does nothing else. All you have to do is make a .pk3 or a .wad that contains the sprites that have the same name as the imp's. Though you'll also need to align them properly in SLADE

>>6308309
Google, doom replacing monster sprite, to find a detailed explanation or guide.

>>6308309
Use Slade to open Doom or Doom2.wad, so you can use those as a reference for the names of the sprites. Create a new .wad or .pk3 and put all your new sprites there, and load that new file when you boot up Doom

Also while the default motion blur/sway options are ass, they can be changed easily.And at least in the version I have, there is no weird HUD at all, it's just the standard Doom one. I'm sure there's some addon people use for those.

Someone ought to make a Definitive Edition addon for that. Bring back the Shotgun-tier Reaper, Vortex Rifle, and Repeater, and replace the BFG-Tier Reaper with the Unmaykr from Doom Eternal. Shoots the same as Eternal, but uses the BFG-Tier Reaper's reliance on monster souls for ammo, that way you can have a 2nd BFG-Tier weapon, and the Shotgun-Tier Reaper, without having 2 visually identical Reapers.

>Pain Elementals are great enemies, despite everyone shitting on them
Pain Elementals CAN be used well. It's good to have high-priority targets. If you're an asshole who throws ten of them in an area, or throws them in the back of a crowded mob so the player can't target them even if they want to, then they're awful. Pain Elementals are dangerous and mappers using them incorrectly leads them to being so widely hated. Honestly though the same could be said for most high-priority targets, if you're a dick when using them people are going to hate you for being a dick.

always thought doom's setting works because the lack of lore made it vague enough that you could do a lot with it then noticed this is almost the same deal with touhou

>>6308515
It's not stupid if you just turn down the difficulty. It'd be stupid to do a blind first play-through on the UV difficulty. If you're not too far, restart on a lower difficulty.

>new to Doom
Difficulty 1 has the same number of monsters as difficulty 2, except incoming damage is reduced by 50% and the amount of ammo you pickups are doubled. Similarly, difficulty 5 has the same number of monsters as 4, except dead monsters randomly respawn, monsters attack the instant they see you (less frequently the further away you are from eachother), enemy fireballs travel 30% faster, and your ammo pickups are doubled. Also, the map maker may choose to place bigger better powerups on the lower difficulties. I've never played Valiant, but there are times when I've played on skill 1 so I can learn a level before grinding it on harder difficulties

>>6308642
Imagine sucking so bad at Doom you cannot handle three barons.

>>6308772
Cool, does it play well with d4t?

>>6308779
Hard to say. The final chapters of Eviternity tend to be rather punishing and with massive numbers of monsters, which could be a problem with the fast projectiles and high damage of D4T. It also includes three custom enemies, which might clash with the mod as well.

>>6308790
The last time I dealt with this was playing ancient aliens with D4T, I had some trouble but eventually learned the dance well enough, accidentially broke a level with the charged shot pistol though. Had a bit of a minor issue with the aliens appearing as SS before I set the mods in a different load order that seemed to sort that one out, one custom skin mod degraded on the mancubi due to the mod already using custom skins

>>6307569
>It's only beatable if theres no challenge whatsoever

>>6308779
I played it with Argent and now I associate Eviternity with that.
So the weapons would work great, but I'm unsure how the enemies would end up effecting it.

>>6308795
Well, if you could handle AA with it, then why not, give it a try.

>>6308515
Modern megawads are on average a lot higher in difficulty than Doom and Doom 2 on UV.
This is kind of a side effect of the classic games being over 25 years old. Many pwads are designed with the expectation that most people who are going to play them have been playing Doom for years, if not decades.
I would suggest lowering the difficulty to HMP, or even HNTR.

Why do IWAD maps (including Hexen and such) tend to look really clean and compartmentalized compared to PWAD maps and how can I replicate this quality for myself

because they were made in the 90s, and were designed to run on 90s tech
adding too much detail or crazy geometry would not have been an option

>>6309076
Because they were designed by a team of professionals coordinating together and working full-time.
Although I would say many aspects of a typical modern PWAD are cleaner than the IWADs, like texture alignment.

>>6306727
Every time I try using the holoduke enemies seem to ignore it and shoot me instead. How do you make it actually draw enemy fire?

>>6309159
Read the Duke wiki. Holoduke only works on Octobrains. It's probably a bug. That's what that anon was referring to

>>6309240
I'm pretty that last guy is trolling. Because we've had a trending meme as of late that Doom is impossible on Ultra Violence.

>>6307243
So how's that map coming along?

>>6308515
Have you beaten Plutonia on UV? I'd consider that to be basically the final "test" you should do before jumping into modern megawads on UV. Just about everything the community makes for UV now assumes that the player is at least comfortable in Plutonia level stuff. Similarly, UV is designed to be, well, hard. Hard for veteran players. For some reason people have gotten it in their heads that anything short of UV is pussy babby mode, which ends up making newer players just wash out. (Pic related) No shame in playing on HMP.

even terminus himself agreed the clicking is too much in demonsteele, and said hed add an autofire if he could figure out a way given holding fire already does shit in it, when i played with him around 8 years ago
he never did add it

>>6309320
>8 years ago
Demonsteele's not that old, it and GMOTA came out around the same time. So it'd be around 6 years

i said around bro, we played on a server on doomseeker, it wasn a fun enough experience to memorize the exact date and time

>>6309321
>GMOTA
Always conflicted with this. On one hand, I feel its better designed, more fun and less hand killing than demonsteele.
On the other it lacks cute anime girls so I rate demon higher

>>6309047
Add a lot of little rock sectors, pull them up, then give them rock textures, add a tree here and there. You could also try to spam trees that are further away, then reduce the brightness in those sectors to an absolute minimum so players won't immediately notice that you spammed the same tree, creating spooky forests. Or you could always load in some custom texture trees.

I hate whoever decided to package 'The Mutilator' into WDI. Can't even play WDI anymore without every third map being a 20 minute long stall fest hide and seek mod instead. Like someone just made a shitty mod and dumped it in rotation to piggy back off a popular one and no one else seems to care.

fuck is this shit?

>>6309385
Yeah, aren't Zandronum servers just fuuuuuuun?

Slough of Despair is, I think, kind of an interesting map. I think it's the only sandbox-style map in Doom, at least the palm part of it. That secret designated with arrow only visible with auto-map was really-really cool. Finally it's just memorable. Like, if you don't like it, if you say "Sandy Petersen" this is one of the first things that come to mind. Fingers are not that interesting though.
Well I mean Mt. Erebus seems sand-box-ish too, but it's actually way more directed. Slough of Despair is much more of play it at your own pace kind of thing. I think.
Actually those two are probably the most memorable Petersen's maps in Doom 1. Doom 2, well, you know, Downtown, Chasm, Spirit World. Man sure had taste for weirdness. I kinda like it.

>>6309385
you may have something in your autoload that conflicts with the server

Uhm... why isn't Brutal Doom on any of the copypasta images?

It's not even in Historically Notable wads despite defining the direction of the series and a major chunk of the playerbase for the last deacde

no

Here we go again.

Yeah whatever, try pulling the stick out of your asses and grow up, babies. MUH SEKRET DOOM CLUB

No-one gives a fuck about half the wads on those images and they never will

someone sounds butthurt
and desperate

reminder as to why BD is trash and any of its fans belong in a separate containment

>>6309471
Apparently the dev has too much of an obnoxious attitude, which the rest of the fags can't handle. And the fanbase keeps treating it as the only way to play Doom etc., etc., it pisses people off.
So now everybody hates it. The funny thing is that I don't care about any of that inane bullshit, and I'm having a great time with BD.
Took me a few days to change things to my liking though, browsing through 20 pages of addons wasn't much fun either.

>>6309463
Boring and the girls are western bimbos, not cute anime girls.

>>6309505
They look pretty anime to me.

>>6309497
OK, this does sound fucked up. It's still fun though, at least so far on the first few OG Doom levels.

>>6309512
If you want to have fun with it, that's perfectly okay. Just don't be obnoxious about it, as some of the posts above showed.

>>6309497
>why people hate brutal doom
>"people"

You mean Zdoom modders and you guys, right?

No-one else is complaining about BD, whether it's about the code or the balance or the author.

And the reasons in that image are ridiculous. Most people playing mods don't care how they're coded, they don't care about balance issues so long as the game is fun, and they don't care who the author is. All of your complaints are made by people within a NICHE, i.e. your little treehouse of special doom modders, which has nothing to do with the average ordinary person coming to doom for the first time or replaying it.

>>6309497
Mark's shenanigans makes me conscious about crediting the sources for all my Frankenspriting and everything I can remember.
At the same time, my code is a crude mess, also with copy pasting from places, so I can't make fun of him for spaghetti coding, because that would make me a hypocrite.

How the fuck do you break sound propagation anyway?

I'm no expert, but my guess is that some script that uses a ridiculous rube-goldbergish workaround in it that touches on that, maybe overpenetration feature but im not sure.

>>6309568
both
same

I'm working on a big map and I'm using a handful of custom enemies.

>Beam Revenant (railgun-like)
>Plasma zombie
>Beam zombie (flamethrower type beam weapon)
>Blood Demon (Pinky with double HP)
>Double Chaingunner
>Afrit (Defends a hidden megasphere)
>Some hell baron that throws fireballs like Afrit (Mini boss that blocks a teleporter)
>Cyber Baron (Miniboss that defends an important switch)

These are used sparingly and so far only for their own areas, the rest are regular doom monsters.
Is this an okay choice of extra enemies or did I fuck it up?

>>6309572
>Beam Revenant (railgun-like)
Hitscan revenant? Sounds like a cheap bastard. If you want a sniper enemy, better make his attack give player an early warning like Archvile's magic.
>Double Chaingunner
Why not use two regular chaingunners?
>Afrit (Defends a hidden megasphere)
>Some hell baron that throws fireballs like Afrit (Mini boss that blocks a teleporter)
>Cyber Baron (Miniboss that defends an important switch)
Do you really need three different baron variants as one-shot mini-bosses?

>>6309584
The beam revenant is the one that worries me the most, I'm not sure about where to use him, I only have him in the map once or twice so far and you can barely tell the difference between him and a regular one.

I chose the Double Chaingunner because he wears green armor and visually fits nicely to the map areas he's put in. He isn't used more than 3 times on the map and always in close quarters.

The Afrit flies up from a hole to surprise the player, but the Afrit was at first also supposed to defend the gate, but after playtesting I figured out that he'd rather fly away and leave the door wide open, kek, so I replaced him with a walking version.

The Cyber baron is in a large tech room, and I want to use him again in the final boss fight area, haven't built that area yet though.

I second playing Plutonia UV. My path into modern megawads was Doom 1 UV, Doom 2 UV, TNT UV, Plutonia HMP, Scythe 1 UV, Plutonia UV, everything else. Plutonia is easier than the end of scythe with both set to UV, save for Plutonia MAP32, which is like the end of Scythe.

>>6309604

Man, those transitions aren't great.

>they don't care about balance issues so long as the game is fun
If the balance issues cause the game's maps to be near unplayable, then no. It doesn't ke it fun.
Plus are you seriously going to ignore the paragraph that mentions him putting malicious code that causes your PC to BsOD if you play it with Project Brutality? That's fucking Trojan virus tier.

>>6309639
>causes your PC to BsOD if you play it with Project Brutality? That's fucking Trojan virus tier.

The Eday's anti-PB tamp can't BsoD a computer, it can only freeze GZDoom.
It exploited the infinite actor spawn system, Randy Heit added security measures to ZDoom code to prevent it from damaging computers a long time ago. This is why it's impossible to play any Zdoom-based port at 100% CPU usage.

>>6309613
You gotta get rid of that white lamp monstrosity, it's the worst offender. When that is gone, try to look at it again and see what you can do to achieve uniformity or balance between those textures.

>>6309660
Agreed on the lamp, but unsure what can I use instead. I guess maybe continuation of the stone.

Anyone tried out playing HL levels on Dusk?

>>6309665
You could try using more metal texture bars that supposedly hold the building together, so that it all blends together with that entryway-thingy.

Or to create a piece of machinery, like a drill or a jackhammer.

I wish D4T didn't connect chainsaw ammo specifically to chainsaw spawns. Maps don't tend to have chainsaws.
A lot of mods do this.

>>Not him, but this is a really cool idea. Might try this for the next mega wad I play.
I have been playing Doom and Doom 2 on UV exclusively for over a decade. If I want to have fun with an easier difficulty for once, then I'm going to do it, you absolute turboautist.

>>6309723
Nightmare difficulty

>>6309723
I recall an anon here working on a DaS mod long ago, as in at least two years ago. It was naturally for Hexen, and he posted webms of the player activating bonfires and wielding sword n board. I don't even remember if he went by anything and I highly doubt the mod ever got finished.

>>6309712
That reminds me of that one video Chubzdoomer made; in one of his "If Doom Was Made Today" videos, where he made it like Doom played like a Cod game, there was a part in his version of E1M2, when you walk across that path surrounded by toxic waste near the end, on the furthest right side of the room, the wall quickly opens to have an Imp attack and force you into a parody of a QTE. I remember thinking that would actually be a good idea for a trap in a custom map or something, not the QTE of course, but a part where if you're really close to a wall, and it suddenly opens to reveal a monster that throws you off guard. It'd be fun too if it were at a part of the map you haven't fought anything for a short while so it'd really catch you off guard and test your reflexes.

>>6309723
Gmota but you only play doomguy with his sword and you can only heal via closing the game and telling people to git gud 5 times then cheating to max hp at designated healing points

>>6308543
Hangar in Doom 1 feels like a slaughter map.
