>>6329397
Thanks for FINALLY updating the news post.

>>6329410
I hope I included all the anon map releases that the other guy forgot. It always sucks when those get left out.

What are good Doom 2 textures for use in hell that aren't categorized as hell textures in builder?

I feel kinda strapped for variety on my first experience in making demon fortresses.

>6329383
Imagine those zoomer jokes you see within the Doom community but it's 100% just like that if not worse.
It's all the crap about Twitter/Tumblr humor in one person,plus his art is garbage.

>>6329393

Anybody here /speedrun/? Are there runners who play Doom on Ultra-Violent or is it not really feasible?

Does anyone know an actually maintained somewhat modern (but not too modernized) Hexen source port?

There was ZDoom, but since that <insert /pol/ tier rant> and his gang took over and it became GZDoom, it won't even run properly on my system anymore. There are some derivatives, but their codebases are held together by duct tape and won't even compile out of the box.

Crispy Doom is the closest to what I have in mind, but its Hexen code seems to be abandoned.

Some of the distorted sounds could be a bit creepy, and at least one of the intermission texts definitely aimed for a scary tone.

>>6329457
>>6329470
Why? I don't understand what's so funny about the hell knight spin. Please enlighten me

>>6329525
You can put it in the defaultMap, but it only applies to maps defined *after* the defaultMap defintion. It can also be applied to standard map definitions.

>>6329393
If I'm on Linux and I want to start mapping for Doom making sure that my maps are playable in PRBoom+ and not just GZDoom, what programs should I use?

>>6329535
Is Doom Builder 2 an option?

>>6329535
uh well you're in luck cause cause making gzdoom maps in linux is a cancerous experience with how broken wine gzdoom builder is. use slade which inherently works with linux

>>6329519
The WAD's final map is going to be rough with D4T's mechanics, make sure you've got a lot of explosives.

I want to make a weapon pack that replaces all doom 2 weapons with the ones i find on realm 667. Is there a tutorial somewhere as to how to do this?

>>6329546

I hope I can do it. I'm playing on HMP, so maybe there's some salvation?

>>6329542
Unfortunately, no. No native version of Doom Builder 2 on linux, and from what I've heard it's also a bit borked on Wine like >>6329545 mentions.

I am a bit confused why Doom editors would be made in C# and be so dependent in NET/Microsoft stuff. How about Eureka? Is that any good? If not, I guess I'll go learn SLADE map editing

>>6329534
Thanks. Will give this a shot later today.

>>6329535
Slade works almost flawlessly on Linux (I'm using Neon). It doesn't have all the functionality of GZDoom Builder, but it can certainly compete. If you add the DRD Team Repo, you should be able to install it from the CL.
https://debian.drdteam.org/

>>6329545
>>6329562
>>6329535
>>6329572
Is it possible to use GZDoom Builder to make maps without ZDoom features, so they also work on PRBoom? I saw this forum thread here so apparently it is possible to get it working under Wine.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/106271-gzdoombuilder-wine-tutorial/

Maybe it'd be worth it, for the functionality benefits?

>>6329562
Eureka is fine, but I found the controls to be much less intuitive than Slade. The 3D mode renderer also isn't as nice. And yeah, C# was an unfortunate choice.

Why is this allowed?

>>6329562
>>6329574
just use slade. it's a comprehensive editor with a native linux port and using it just to make vanilla maps is simple as can be

So is the recent release of Doom 64 just Doom64 EX? And what about the unique maps?

>>6329591
Oh, nice second place.

>>6329606
It's Doom 64 EX but more accurate and has a new episode.

>>6329606
>And what about the unique maps?
They're pretty solid. I hope this new port leads to more people making maps for the game.

What are some status bar mods that work in PRBoom+ ? I really dislike the stone texture on either side of the status bar.

Why is PrBoom-Plus v2.5.1.5 not considered a valid sourceport for demo recording in DSDA?

The latest I see listed that is allowed is v2.5.1.4. What changed between these versions that made it haram?

>>6329534
Unironically God bless you and your post. I've been pulling my hair out over this. It worked flawless. Thanks, anon.

just witnessed a full health imp killing a full health pinky on a 1v1 fair and square

felt I should share this event with you guys

>>6329795
That's not abnormal.

>>6329796
thinking about it, i don't think pinkies have the advantage over any of the enemies, besides maybe the zombiemen. they don't have a projectile to match most other enemies and they're too slow and have too laggy of a melee to do much before being hitstunned to death even by technically weaker enemies

>>6329795
I've seen a chaingunner solo a mancubus.

>>6329803
oh, I failed to mention that they started the fight at close range. The imp had the first blood of hitting a fireball but the pinky closed the distance half a second later.

But anyway, a great victory for imps all around

>>6329467
>Non of the monsters are aliens
What about the cloaked troopers?

>>6329795
Pinkies are terribly inefficient fighters. Even at point blank their bites will often miss.

>>6329393

>>6329771
no problem, dude. good luck with your stuff!

>>6329829
As far as I understand it, melee attacks in Doom never miss, not even if they player is using a partial invisibility. The pinky sprite will look like it's biting in a different direction, but the attack is still aimed at the player. If they don't land it's because either the player dodged in time, or because of the blockmap bug. Am I wrong about this?

i like when i can use doors to cover from enemies and shoot them in windows of opportunities when i open them for a short while

Should I be updating GZDoom if only thing I probably plan to play for now is original games?

>>6329916
No, no, my bad. You're right, I worded it wrong. Didn't really mean that it actually missed, more like even if they have already started their attack, an imp moving away even just a tiny bit will cause it to whiff. Their range and startup lag is just too terrible.

>>6329931
In that case I wouldn't even recommend GZDoom at all. Try Crispy or PrBoom+.

>>6329931
Nah. I'd encourage you to use PRBoom+ or CrispyDoom if you're just going to play the original games though.

Man, texturing demon fotresses is hard.

Why is it considered "scumming" to use saves? They were in the original game and are a part of overall meta-design. Isn't it like saying health kits are scumming?

What's wrong with using saves in levels? In modern games it's considered okay. So what's wrong then?

>>6329950
Theres a difference between "saving" and "save scumming". Save scumming is if you do it so often it removes any challenge. A reasonable amount would be saving before or after every keycard acquired, or every 5-10 minutes.

Just found out Plutonia got a fanmade OST in 2013. Listening to it, it's pretty great. My question is whether or not the Doom II OST is essential to the Plutonia experience, or if it's cool to throw this on?

>>6329950
It's not necessary scumming, but you won't be able to play perfectly - and there's random factor, monsters wander around or subject to RNG. Abuse it enough and you will be able to go room to room replaying until you get perfect hit.

Being able to finish entire map without this shows your flattens anomalies and shows your ability better. Nobody can tell you how to play your game of course, but you'll learn to appreciate not saving.

>>6329393
Hey Doom nerds, I have a question.

I came across this map called "Holy Hell Revealed" (since it was mentioned by >>6329609 ) and a TAS UVMax run for it.
https://youtu.be/Yw9pz5WH_T4?t=5190

However, if you download the demo from the video description and try to play it back yourself, the demo desyncs at around the ~86min40secs time mark. The TXT included with the demo says:
>This demo plays back correctly only on 64-bit builds produced with clang (a bug in the source code or compiler). The desync happens after 86th minute. So you need to compile PrBoom+ with clang and the build must be 64-bit for the demo to play back correctly.

So my question is - why is that? We're both using -complevel 9, so why would it matter what version of PRB+ you're running it on? Isn't the whole point of demos that they're supposed to work regardless of the version of the sourceport you're using?

>>6329950
Play however you want, nobody's watching you. But if you intend to discuss things like strategies, or skills, or intend to record yourself, you'll have less of a leg to stand on if you continually saved.

>>6329931
Crispy Doom is the connoisseur's choice for all vanilla and limit-removing maps.

>>6329959
Throw in the community MIDI pack. It's much better. You're losing nothing about the "Plutonia experience" by leaving on the default Doom OST. There is one level with a specific gimmick which uses the Daisy song, which a lot of people remember, but even the song for that map in the community MIDI pack is much better and more fitting IMO.

Make sure you're using a nice soundfont too. I recommend Emperor Grieferus' SC-55 imitation.

>>6329969
CD can't play Sunlust so keep a PRBoom+ folder handy.

>>6329969
>>6329935

Is Crispy able to play any IWAD? How about things like Heretic? I kinda assumed it's Doom only.

>>6329972

yes, and crispy heretic exists

>>6329959
>My question is whether or not the Doom II OST is essential to the Plutonia experience
No
>or if it's cool to throw this on
Yes. Plutonia lacks original music. Jimmy's MIDIs™ are the connoisseur's choice for all MIDIs, inside and outside of Doom. You will find that, when playing with Jimmy's MIDIs™, your game experience will be enhanced and you will enjoy the game and levels more.

>>6329993
t. Jimmy

>>6329981
That's the one.
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Plutonia_MIDI_Pack

Just make sure you use a good soundfont cause holy fuck that one sounds awful.

>>6329939

That screenshot looks good, I like it.

>>6329950

Save scumming is different to saving. Scumming is saving mid fight many times to ensure you survive. This lets shitty strategies work when they shouldn't.

>>6330002
That makes me feel better. I only save after each encounter because I don't like dying after five encounters and then doing all five all over again.

What's your soundfont of choice?

>>6329950
It removes the consequence for failure, essentially. I like to have a bit of logic to saving if I deem the level too unforgiving to be done in one go (e.g. hardsave after getting a key item or before a huge fight) and/or I just don't feel like playing the same section over and over again. At the end of the day play however the hell you want - you're better off having fun and experiencing the game with the tools the designers gave you rather than just frustrating yourself with arbitrary constraints.

>>6330006
If you really must save at all, I recommend you do it in practice runs when you're first learning/getting a feel for the map. Once you've seen the whole thing, that's when you try to do full runs in one go without saving. Of course, this is assuming you're not playing something ridiculous like Okuplok or whatever.

And, and always pistol start every map. Otherwise you'll be trivializing a bunch of shit without even realizing it.

I've listened to just about every decent one, and Regression FM wins it by far for me. It's the best of that OPL sound with much meatier percussion and bass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCxsQLSsm3A

Oh hey Heretic has some good tunes. I can rip them out using SLADE, right?

I haven't quite familiarize myself with SLADE yet.

>>6330010
Timbres of Heaven soundfont with BloodGDX. It makes some of the tracks sound way better than even the CD music.
https://youtu.be/vy8mR3Pf0Zk?t=670

>>6330010
It totally depends on the WAD/MIDI.

With that said, Mysung Kite is the one I've been playing with the most. It sounds really good with Eviternity's Heaven MIDIs, for example. It's by far the largest one I have at 1 gig so the sound quality is the best.

Airfont 380 is the best one I've found for metal MIDIs, such as those in the Now That's What I Call MIDI mod. Touhou and SGM v2.01 are other metal MIDIs to test but I've found Airfont380 usually sounds better.

SC-55, the GZDoom soundfont, and Microsoft Wavetable GM Synth are all good choices for retro MIDIs, like those in Hell Revealed, for example

8-bit NES soundfont is fun to play with Doom 4 Vanilla on Crispy Doom with Chocolate Doom's low-res 320x200

PrBoom's default soundfont played through PrBoom or GZDoom's FluidSynth is the best choice for playing Going Down, as Going Down's music seems to have been made with PrBoom's default set-up in mind

>>6330045
Yup, just find the tune you're looking for and export it.

>>6330045
Yes.
The original Doom & Heretic music is actually MUS rather than MIDI though.

>>6330047
I been trying Blood on the Ultra Violence difficulty whatever it's called and it's so bloody hard. Fun game though

>>6330030
>I play on UV fast exclusively so I don't worry about that.

>>6330065
>He thinks he beat Doom despite enemies stopping their attacks every two seconds so the player can kill them when -fast isn't enabled
Step your gains up, sonny.

>>6329713
I don't know why I think it's so funny, but it just is to me, loudnigra.wav is part of it, but also not all of it.

>>6329950
Savescumming wouldn't mean to make a save of your progress to come back later, more it would mean to repeatedly saving and loading to make your way through an encounter, such as making a save after every good couple of steps, and going back to that save if you fuck up.

Very few people would take issue with making a save at the start/end of a level, before a boss/big arena fight, or maybe sometimes before springing a very obvious trap (depending on map length or so).

Basically just go with what you're comfortable with, but mind that the game will probably be more fun and rewarding for you if you try to restrain yourself in your saving frequency. Of course, this might very well depend on the mapset you're playing, some can test one's patience.

>>6330021
Pistolstarting or not is such a subjective thing you might as well tell him he should wear the same size underwear as you do.

>>6329959
Do it if you want, the new music is gnarly.

Personally, I'm doing my first legit run on Plutonia on HMP, vanilla, with the stock music (because some of the Doom 1 tracks fit really well), then I'm going to put on some gameplay mod which will complicate things for UV, and use the music pack.

>>6330065

That guy looks like he would touch kids' dinks.

Are there any spooky doom tracks? I only remember Suspence, but I don't like it very much.

>>6330087
>Pistolstarting or not is such a subjective thing
It really isn't though.

Consider the following:
Player A completes a map, and continues into the next. They collected a bunch of weapons, so they now have a wide toolset to address any given encounter. They no longer have to worry about (some if not all) weapon pickup locations in the following maps, and can simply brute force their way through any fights the mapper may have set up with their power weapons and their deep pockets full of ammo, probably expanded by a collected backpack somewhere along the way.

Player B completes a map, and pistol starts the next. They have no additional weapons, no expanded inventory from a backpack. They must find the weapon pickup locations in the map in order to expand their toolset and tackle the encounters in the way the mapmaker intended. They cannot bruteforce their way with power weapons if the mapmaker does not provide them. This makes it so that encounters cannot be trivialized through advantages gained in previous maps.

Player A is quite objectively skipping a large chunk of the intended gameplay experience, since he can just BFG/Rocket virtually any time they want with their fat ammo pockets. Player B needs to apply the tools specifically given to them by the mapmaker to solve the problems presented.

>>6330096
Doom on the Playstation and Doom 64 has a bunch of atmospheric and spooky music.

>>6330083
>Of course, this might very well depend on the mapset you're playing
That's a big reason why the arguments about using saves are so pointless. Unlike most other games most of playing Doom is custom mapsets with huge variance in difficulty, type of challenge, and even level of craftsmanship and fairness.

>>6330104
Is there a way to play on on PC?

>>6330098
I think the way it already works in vanilla Doom is perfect. By that I mean how you just restart the level but with pistol start when you die. This way you are somewhat rewarded by exploring secrets and saving ammo on previous level, but if you fuck up you lose it all.

>>6330108
Doom 64 recently got an official re-release for PCs and Doom 64 EX is still free.
For Playstation Doom, I think you need to use an emulator.

Play Doom the way you want, nobody is going to call you a scrub for playing a singleplayer game the way you find enjoyable.

>>6330109
While this is preferable to the way ZDoom/GZDoom does it (autosaving at the start of the level, so that if you die you do not pistol start), it is still very abusable and results in a snowball effect. A good player will be able to become a powerhouse with constantly maxed out ammo, armor, and health simply because they know the secrets of a map. This completely tanks the difficulty curve intended in most WADs, because you gained an advantage during the easier maps that will now carry you through the harder maps.

>>6330117
Don't be disingenous anon, no one is threatening to come to any anon's house and kill them if they don't play a certain way. You can play on ITYTD with god mode on for all I care.

>>6330117
I will.

Thanks! Either this Screenshot Saturday or the next, I'll probably show it off. More likely the next. Want to make sure I want to commit to this.

What are some good mods to replace DOOM1/2's sprites with 3D Models? Preferably close to the sprites in look (I mainly want everything modeled so that I can have a complete depth buffer in reshade). I know doom remake 4 is fully modeled but the look is all over the place

I know, but what sort of bug would break that demo specifically?

Or is the issue that the person who recorded the demo used a custom build of PRB+ that results in non-universally-reproducible demos?

>>6330098
There's also the choice of doing a single-segment run of the entire episode, anon. I mean, if you pistol start map 5 of Eviternity and die, you can just start map 5 over. The true connoisseur will attempt to beat the entire episode, maps 1-5, all in one single segment.

>>6330160
Yes, the choice exists. However, it is the incorrect choice, unless you're doing a speedrun single segment movie or something.

>>6330154
Demos are just recording of all you inputs, right? Could be some edge case where 32-bit systems can't compute all the monsters in the same tick or something?

>>6330154
>what sort of bug would break that demo specifically?
I don't understand what kind of answer are you looking for.

I doubt it.

>Doom 64 EX is still free
Doom 64 EX is a source port, not a game. You still need to buy or pirate the game

>>6330151
That little spin he does for all of the characters is so goddamn good.

>>6330167
My bad, I was just pointing out that Doom 64 EX still had a free option, although I forgot to mention that you still need the ROM of Doom 64.

>>6330161
>However, it is the incorrect choice
Pistol-starting is one of the baby-steps you take on the way to learning to do full-episode runs

>>6330010
>>6330038
This one, and OmegaGMGS2. I switch between them a lot.

>>6330098
>Player A is quite objectively skipping a large chunk of the intended gameplay experience, since he can just BFG/Rocket virtually any time they want with their fat ammo pockets. Player B needs to apply the tools specifically given to them by the mapmaker to solve the problems presented.

That's all muddled by the fact that;
>pistol starting always means having 100hp and 50 bullets at the start of every level, at times, this can actually be a lot more permissive than progressive, a classic example is E4M1 to E4M2, on UV, the margins on E4M1 are so slim that it's likely even a decently skilled player would enter E4M2 (another tough map) with an almost empty inventory, and maybe even little health
>many official levels will give you weapons and powerups which aren't even remotely necessary to handle them with, such as the rocketlauncher in Entryway, the super shotgun in Underhalls, the backpack in Gantlet, etc, etc, arguably there was thoughts here with rewarding the player for exploration, giving him stuff which obviously pay off over time
>original behavior is that when you die, you lose all your inventory and restart the level with a clean slate, that this happens, but that you keep your inventory by not dying, would suggest pistol starting is your punishment for dying, and that levels are at least in part designed to be playable from pistol start as to not softlock players
>the manual warns you of this and tells you to save often as to avoid this
>the first game's episodic division, starting you clean with each one, may point towards the idea that you were supposed to keep your stuff, but only to a point, Doom 2's development was somewhat rushed and had somewhat less engagement from some key people

Yes, Sandy has stated that pistol starting is how he playtested his maps (obviously), but he never stated "they are not supposed to be played continuously", and mind he's just one of the many creative people, joining development very late. Finally, if you weren't supposed to play continuously, the game would have been designed to not let you.
Again, it's a subjective question where you're applying subjective opinion, but acting like it's objective. Either you want to pistol start, or you don't.

Laser guided rockets are FUN

>>6330197
>using E4M1->E4M2 as a representative example of the general world of WADs out there
Also, you said it yourself.
>(...) would suggest pistol starting is your punishment for dying, and that levels are at least in part designed to be playable from pistol start as to not softlock players
Which means, pistol starting is objectively trying to make things harder on the player. If a level is perfectly beatable with the bare minimum, then logic follows that if you're any good, you wouldn't need anything more than the bare minimum to beat the map.

>>6330205
True wizardry, god damn I love your TEXTUREs work.

>>6330161
How is it incorrect? Why are you acting like your preference is should apply to everyone?

>>6330212
The secret is that I really can't draw for shit, so it actually helps me.

>>6330210
>then logic follows that if you're any good, you wouldn't need anything more than the bare minimum to beat the map
Then why aren't you playing the game on Nightmare? Do you NEED the monsters to be slower, do you NEED the monsters to stay dead? Aren't you supposed to be good?

>>6330216
Taking pre-existing assets and kitbashing them like this into unique and distinctive sprites is artistry in itself, System Shock anon. Your work with TEXTURES is a fucking inspiration to me.
The technical shit you got going on with the weapons and mechanics are nothing to sneeze at either, I'm looking forward to the launch of this.

>>6330219
False equivalence. Nightmare was designed intentionally as a joke difficulty. Maps were designed to be perfectly beatable with pistol starts. Nightmare difficulty is referred to from within the game itself as "not fair".

Just accept it anon, if you need a little help to beat the latter maps in a WAD with your power weapons and backpack obtained early in the game, I will look the other way :)

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with Blood mapping. I'm trying to make a constantly sliding sector but it keeps going out of sync. Any ideas how I fucked this up?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haNPPSBzj0k

Anyone have all the commands to make Quakespasm look the most like software Quake? choppy animations, square particles, higher viewmodel etc.?

>>6330179
I should have elaborated - if you're doing full episode runs, you will obviously spend a lot more time on the starting levels then the ending ones. Grinding the ending levels with pistol starts is the best way to get enough play-time so that you don't choke when you reach the ending stages of the run.

>>6330070
There is no shame in playing on Hurt Me Plenty and blasting through maps while you look for a map, or set of maps, that you like enough to grind and to attempt single-segment UV or UV-fast or NM runs. Doom Episode 1 is easy AF on UV, but it's extremely difficult to do a single-segment Nightmare run of it, but if you love the maps enough then grinding away and achieving the run is bliss

>>6330226
Change nothing, tell everyone who asks that it's a cursed ship that will drive you mad.

>>6330221
Thanks mate, I'm glad I can inspire someone with this because I got the inspiration from someone else myself (namely gmota-guy, from his Blastmaster mod). It really is very relaxing making sprites like this, it becomes like a little treasure hunt and you never know how exactly the result will end up.

>>6330231
not that anon, but I find a sweet spot to be hmp -fast. it doesn't feel as bullshit, and i can run out in the open without dying instantly.

>>6330237
> I got the inspiration from someone else myself (namely gmota-guy, from his Blastmaster mod).
This is really awkward then. You've taken the TEXTURES thing further I ever did.

>>6330248
I uh, have a tendency to take things too far in all my modding endeavors.

I made some walk-throughs of how to complete each of the original Doom episodes on Nightmare difficulty in single-segment runs. I go to all the important secret areas, even if I have full health/armor/ammo, just to show you where they all are. I skip the useless secrets like the +4 armor or chainsaw on E1M2. All the runs are different; it's not the same demo, I performed each run on each source port:

>>6330224
Sounds like a bunch of excuses to me, if Plutonia can be done single segment on Nightmare, then you should be able to play the original maps that way, if you're any good.

But really anon, if you just want to brag, you should plain do it in the open, instead of being a really smug and humblebragging fag. Skill should be celebrated, but you should also display some humility if you want respect.

>>6330205
you are probably the scariest motherfucker in all of Doom modding except for maybe Matt

>>6330252

Great work dude, that's awesome. Did you record demos? If so it'd be worth submitting these runs as NM-Speed demos.

>See an Imp and Mancubus start to infight

>>6330282
Doom is fitness propaganda confirmed.

>>6330264
Matts code scares the bejeezus out of me too, but even he doesn't compare to TheZombieKiller. That dude found and plugged security risks (like, being able to overwrite system files from a fucking mod) just by doing unholy shit with zscript arrays.

>>6330236
Not a bad idea, this shit is certainly madness inducing.

>>6330270
Yea it's much better to record demos as they take up a tiny fraction of hard drive space - it can take hours of grinding to do E1 so recording video right away is a bad idea. And these are really bad as NM-speed runs! Real speed runners are much faster. For example, my E1 runs are 20+ min since I go to every important secret, but the record is like 6 minutes

>>6330310

Speedwise they're not good but there's so few full NM-Speed runs that its worth chucking up.

Let's say I have a sprite lump with offsets -128, -66. I want to adjust it's Yscale via the TEXTURE lump. Is there anyway I can tell it to use the offsets of the sprite specified in the definition, instead of having to redefine the offsets each time, i.e. "Offset -66, -128". It's not a huge issue, but it would certainly save some time.

Do people actually enjoy slaughtermaps unironically

>>6330420
>Wolfenstein 2009
Aaah, I remember bought Wolf 09' used for like $20 or so, a few dozen years after release. Wasn't perfect, but for the low price, I could accept some flaws and poor design decisions, it was overall an ok shooter with a few nice sides to it.
Return To Castle Wolfenstein is overall much, much better, if for some reason you find yourself having to choose between them, pick RTCW.

>>6329962
That's a really interesting question, actually. I'd love to see an explanation of why that is, even if I have the hunch that it might be a complex mathematical thing that I won't understand.

I think you should go back to >>>/v/.

>>6330096
The Ghoul's Forest series has some spookjuice, but it's also like 97.6% constructed around jumpscares, and operates around them entirely, so it has very limited spookmileage.
It's kind of like FNAF, if the objective was to kill those animatronics with weapons, and if it didn't cultivate an obnoxious fanbase of autistic underage furries who wants to fuck the Ghouls (yes, yes, I know there's always gonna be someone somewhere).
Was retooled into a team deathmatch multiplayer version back in the Skulltag days, it was an unbalanced yet enjoyable mess, particularly with people playing the Creeper ghoul, which by using the crouch function could hide ridiculously easy, like next to stair steps and shit, hence many servers disabled crouch. See, the Creeper jumps up onto the player's screen, over his HUD even, and screams him to death in the blink of an eye, so it was fun to fuck with people being able to finally play as him.

There's Lasting Light, it too leans on jumpscares a fair bit, but not exclusively, and in fact has some more inventive approaches. You just play it on any map, it'll be pitch black and you make it around with a lamp which you must collect oil for to keep lit, while you skulk around in the dark, hoping to not bump into scary apparitions, hiding from them if you see them (aided by putting out your light) or running if they spot you, your goal being to reach the exit without being spookified to death.

>>6330470

also wormhole wins an honorable mention just because of how interesting the concept was

Quakespasm-Spiked is the exact same engine as Quakespasm but with a few more bells and whistles, and doesn't tie physics to framerate.

>>6330597
Think I'll check it out, but I could've sworn at some point I was able to enable 144hz without having to even change the framerate. Or maybe I did and the physics messing up wasn't too obvious to me. I tried uncapping it recently and noticed that the corpse of the possessed soldier you kill on the elevator on E1M1 kept bouncing as it went down, and that's never happened before. Not that it's a big deal, just something I never noticed before.

IMO, while the midis themselves are great, the Plutonia Midi pack often changes the entire mood of levels from what the original ost gave it. And unlike the other wads that later got midi packs, Plutonia's reuses of the iwad music felt like a deliberate choice for the most part.

>>6330627
Map11 is made for Sweet Little Dead Bunny.

>>6330627
I think this is spot on, in fact it's a great argument for playing Plutonia multiple times, to experience the difference.
The music replacement for Caughtyard is stuck in my brain by the way, it's amazing.

The filenames contain the WAD name, release year, author, number of maps, and source port. The additional D1 means it's for Doom 1, (JM) means it uses Jimmy's MIDIs, and (DW) means it's one of DoomWorld's top 100, or it won a Cacoward or was runner-up, or won a missed Cacoward or top 100 memorable level.

Out of curiosity, why not use doom launcher which parses all the info from the readme? You can take a screenshot of the titlepic and it will show up when you select the wad.

>>6330779
I learned about Doom Launcher after I already created all the .bat files. I would have used it if I knew about it beforehand. Doom Mod Loader doesn't work with Crispy Doom, so I had to learn to use command lines, and by the time I learned about how good Doom Launcher is, it was too late. Reorganizing everything for Doom Launcher now would yield too little benefit for the effort

People say this due to the enemies shooting way more often. This ends up with enemies that shit out more projectiles/shots, but makes them stand still more often. It leaves them open to more attacks. Not seeing a grenade enemy means a million grenades in your face, though. The first time I played it I didn't even know the difficulty existed since it was hidden. I'd say go for it regardless

Is PRBoom+ multiplayer a viable thing? Or is Zandronum almost mandatory for doing co-op Doom with friends?

>>6331094

ZDaemon, Odamex and Zandronum.

>>6331107

>>6331107
>>6331110
Okay, but is PRBoom+ multiplayer usable too? I'd like to be able to play big Boom mapsets with a friend, and I fear that Zand might lag on it/not be accurate and not sure if Odamex would support big Boom map coop?

>>6331115

With Zand you could try enabling all compatibility flags. Odamex should be able to handle any Boom wads you throw at it.

The upside to Zand is you can use TSPG (or DUD if you're in aus/nz) to host your servers very easily.

https://allfearthesentinel.net/

https://dudoomers.com/

As far as I'm aware prboom does have choc level multiplayer but it's superseded by the aforementioned ports so it's never used.

>>6331120

>>6331128
Does it not have compat presets, so I can for example just select "Boom (strict)" like in GZDoom and be done with it?

>>6331129

Nah. When hosting you need to specify all the flags, DM, Compat, Zand etc. What I do is start Doom Seeker, go to create a server, tick all the flags I want then copy paste them to DUD. On DUD/TSPG you can save your config so next time you don't have to do that.

>>6331129

I forgot to mention, the main compat settings you want are - infinitely tall actors, wall running and monsters can't be pushed of ledges. Those are the big ones. Otherwise yeah, just tick em all.

>>6331134
>>6331137
Thank you. Sorry for the dummy question, but how exactly does TSPG work and how does it differ from just hosting a server yourself? I only have experience hosting small servers for Hideous Destructor in GZDoom from the command line on Linux.

>>6331143

TSPG basically spawns a server for you with whatever settings and wads you want (you can upload wads). You set an rcon password so you can change settings while it's live too

It's purely for convenience and I'd definitely recommend it.

>>6331147
Cool, thank you anon

>>6330460
I tend to play the easier ones to turn my brain off and unwind while killing hordes of demons.

>>6329950

Here's the real answer. The reason you don't save mid-map AT ALL is so that Doom DOESN'T STOP BEING A HORROR. You can still feel that fear and REAL STAKES when you're near the end of the level, low on ammo, low on health and if some crazy imp kills you, you gotta start all over.

>>6331168

Hell and caves don't strike me as being rectangular - maybe that's part of the problem.

Do you mean, like Aztec aesthetic? Temple of Lizardmen trilogy.

It's that time of the week again, SCREENSHOT SATURDAY. WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? Maps, mods, sprites? Well now's a good time to show us.

Doom wads that are Egyptian themed?

>>6331356
Epic 1 and 2

>>6330776
Wouldn't that just be the Quake 3 gauntlet?

>>6331357
thanks

>>6331354
Look at me, I am Sunlust now. Gonna need to do something about lighting to see all this blood. Then set up the monster closets and I'm practically done with this map.

>>6330936
Manages to be hard by having clever enemy placement and architecture maximized to capitalize on each monster's strength. Instead of, you know, just tossing you into an arena with 500 revenants.

>>6331195
Epic 2
Scythe 2's second episode (maps 6-10)
Alien Vendetta's map 20. I haven't played AV but this level was ranked the #1 most memorable Doom map ever by DoomWorld

>>6331213
Tell me more about it before I download this fine batch of dolphin porn.

I'm only 8 maps in and I'm already sick of TNT. Are there any good maps in this wad or does it get worse.

>>6331406
The first maps are probably the best, the quality of the maps gets more mixed as you get further. There will be a lot of boring, long maps later.

>>6331394
small map set full of monsters, crazy shit and suped up weapons
for example the first map starts on city rooftops with nukes going off in the skybox, lighting up the whole sky
there's a hilarious goof segment about ghouls forest with a friendly npc who you give an ssg
and then he annihilates ghouls by doing a 360 jump and going SUBALUWA

>>6331412

>>6331354
Finished first half of Map05, it came out great. Crammed lots of bullshit in relatively small amount of space. Need to came up with something to connect this with boss fight, and probably work on lighting.

>>6331424
That's a lot of black/yellow stripes.

>>6331432
Well, the place is pretty dangerous.

>>6331435
Just seems a little much. And those pictures with chicken scratches on them seem out of place, except if the place is in Asia or whatever.

>>6331406
Has one of the best map 15s.

>>6331412
That's more in the last third, the best stuff is mostly spread out in the first two.

Doom 64 was KINO, I should have played it earlier, although the Lost Levels were visibly even better than the main campaign.

>>6331424
I like the ads and danger stripe aesthetic, makes it look more lively if it's supposed to be some kind of a space station that was previously inhabited. Would be even cooler if there was a variety of those ads.

>cyberdemon requires a room full of barons to kill him, and even then he will still get the upper hand sometimes
>meanwhile spider mastermind can get killed by the two cacos and baron on its boss stage
Why is the Spider Mastermind such a laughable pushover?

>>6331506
We should really start some kind of underground cockfighting with Doom monsters.

>>6331506
Cyberdemon does splash damage, so what if barons were further apart?

Mastermind has a hitscan weapon which is dangerous in different way.

>>6331354
How about a classic game of spot obvious ambush?

>>6331195
Avactor.

>>6331354
Ahh! No, wait! I'm not ready!

How come explosive weapons are so great in Build games?

How hard would it be to make a working gravity gun in classic doom?

>>6331560
There's guy here who posts webms of his mod and it seems he's made one already. But he is also a witch and should be burned at stake.

>>6331354
Webm Waturday

>>6331569
Hypnotic.

>>6331560
The physics part of it is surprisingly easy. The over-engineered visual effects were what was hard with this because understanding exactly how interpolation works in gzdoom is impossible.

Search for "damped springs" and "harmonic oscillators" in a programming context and you'll find how to do it with some legwork.

>>6331568
Also, that's wrong. I do in fact weigh more than a duck

>>6331569
Your lava doesn't seem to be in sync.

>>6331601
I think it looks neat, though I think it should be flowing faster in the middle, not the edges

>>6331569
I think the blue steps stick out a too much. That texture with the red lava-cracked rocks would work better imo

>>6331591
>Just taking the Caco out for a walk

>>6331657
I will now use these just to spite you.

>>6331671

What was the overall moral of Dues Ex again? Been ages since I played through it all, was it basically how fucked mankind can be and that technology and AI is the best way to fix things?

>>6331695
Illuminati bad
China bad
AI brain merging slightly less bad
Bombs are a bad choice for close-range combat

>>6331406
My favourite TNT map is 28: Heck, which might as well be a proto-plutonia map.

>>6331532
You've been posting screenies of this for weeks I'd wager, are you working on a single level, an episode, megawad (15 levels+)...?

>>6331191
I know how you feel, anon. My current map does have a hell section, but i'm way better at designing base sections and regular outdoor areas. It took me a huge time to come up with some ideas, basically I went with a more stony approach with less lava and more pathways to explore. I don't think I did a good job either.

>>6331591
Those are some great lighting spark effect. Can't wait till you release the mod so I can take a look at how they're made.

>>6331703
Sounds reasonable.

>>6331708
I am making levels sequence themed together and having sort-of continuity. So far I almost done with the third and have concrete plants for 2 more. I also have 2 unfinished prototype and one more or less finished but not sure if I want them into a wad.

>>6331719
Looking forward to it, I can't get enough of crispy stuff.
I'm working on a full vanilla megawad but have been on designer's block for some time now. I published a (now obviously out-dated) demo on Doomworld some months ago with 6 levels.
Wish you luck mate and good job on that, I really like the visuals and aesthetics.

>>6331226
Heckin sweet RUNNER UP (not winner) for Doomworlds Cacowards
That Buckethead OST made me ooze blood semen from my peclitoris
John Romero's constant philosophy of being a talentless hack with a lazy eye came through as the music and awkward level design crescendo'd into what can only be called THE TRUE fifth episode of Doom.
Doom was always about very loud metal and worshipping Satan, none of this sideshit NuDoom shoves into it's rancid dogshit pile they charge you 60 useless Americans dollars instead of the real 666 IRISH potato dollars that John uses to comb his pubic lice.

>>6331714
A composite Bézier curve (like when you're using a vector drawing program and get those little handles at the points) and a shitload of 3d models that are dynamically stretched.

>>6329393

Anybody found a torrent of new Doom 64 anywhere?


Also. I remember quite some time ago anon posting Fanta Factory map. Did you do any more?

Is there any death counter for doom? I'm always curious about how many times I've died in a map.

>>6331741
I've got mine from Kickass

>>6331226
Fine, but he fucked up and overhyped it calling it a megawad

For some reason, my Hires folder in my .pk3 isn't working. In my Textures folder, I have a texture titled "REDBRK1" and a corresponding high resolution version in the Hires folder. When I run the game, it doesn't work. Sprites in the Hires folder get replaced, but not my textures. What do?

>>6331569
I get what you're doing with the lava but seeing the texture directly desync is really distracting and makes it look like a mistake rather than an intentional decision. You should have some divisor to obscure it I feel, maybe some natural formation blocking it in those spots.

>>6331506
What I don't get is why the Spider Mastermind has never been used in a signifcant mass, even in those massive levels. The level with the highest cyberdemon count out of any map on Doomwiki has 947 of them. The level with the highest spiderdemon count only has 19 (and said map also has 105 cyberdemons). 19 spiderdemons is kind of intimidating, sure, but so is 19 cyberdemons and we've gone so much further past that. Hell, the level with the second-most spider masterminds was fucking Galaxia with 17; Galaxia was made in July 1994, before DOOM2 even released (and most of them are stuck in cages and act as turrets basically).

>>6331785
Because Spider Masterminds infight with each other and their hitbox is so huge that they will fight more with other monsters than actual players.

Aby suggestions for Quake maps based on Arcane Dimensions?

>>6331797
Doom is funny!!!!!! hhaa lol

Anons, I have two questions for you in relation to my gameplay.
>Is quicksaving in a level numerous times considered retard gameplay
>How do I stop constantly quicksaving
Playing the MLoD2 and I've tried to stop quicksaving in levels and quickly am realising it may be a crutch to excuse my less than stellar gameplay. But getting sent back to the beginning of the level just from a trap or something is annoying.

>>6331793
Yeah, I know, I usually just copy the torrent hash from the page and paste it into the program I use to download it to avoid all the bullshit

>>6330536
>>6330540
Eh, I prefer the ones from Smooth Doom but these doesn't look bad I guess.

>>6330783
>wad have i done

>>6331424
I like it. The poster kind of looks out of place with the Doom textures, at least in my opinion. As >>6331468 said, it would be cool to have more variety of ads.

>>6331807
>Is quicksaving in a level numerous times considered retard gameplay
It's a single player game, no one's judging.

>How do I stop constantly quicksaving
First, get this: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=59889 and configure it to your liking.
Then, forget about saving manually unbind the button if you have to, and the habit will fade with time.

>>6331785
Masterminds are a lot harder to effectively use, thanks to their huge hitbox. And chaingunners provide basically the same role, but in a much more compact package.

>TEETH.WAD
This might be the worst two levels in the entirety of Masters Levels. As for MAP32 it's maybe the worst level every sold on CD for actual money.

>>6331826
I like map31. Im pretty sure 32 was included as a bonus, and was never intended as a serious map.

>>6331807
>Is quicksaving in a level numerous times considered retard gameplay
Yes, though people have wildly differing definitions of what constitues "quicksaving." Saving mid-level after clearing a major part of a level (finishing a big encounter, getting a keycard etc.) is perfectly fine if you're not trying to speedrun.
>How do I stop constantly quicksaving
Set a limit on yourself. Speaking as someone who had a similar problem as you, went cold turkey on mid-level saves entirely and had a lot less fun as a result (TNT MAP27 without mid-level saves is the least-fun DOOM experience I have ever had), what worked for me was limiting myself to one single mid-level save when I played through Plutonia (I justified it to myself that I was also running Plutonia pistol start to make up for it but I just like pistol starting in general and that's not a factor anymore). There were a couple levels where I used multiple due to extreme difficulty, and in future map playthroughs I learned what my tolerance was for mid-level saves, how often I can do it without feeling scummy. You just need to figure out where you stand on that personally; remember that you're just playing for fun and the opinions of other people don't matter. I recommend trying the one-save-per-level thing I did and then working from there until you get comfortable.

>>6331806
> implying it's not
I've plenty just at some of the caco-memes in these threads.

>>6331107
Funny how I know every single person on Zdaemon. Lanky is a top tier DM player.

>>6331827
Seriously you like it? I think the elevator system is super tedious and if you play with infinitely tall monsters compatibility flag this map is a nightmare. I thought it was way too difficult, not enough health, not enough ammo, fucking pain elements hidden behind fake walls and an archvile resurrecting chaingunners. There's also this great section where you can only see the feet of the shotgunners so there's literally 0 chance you see them on your first try and they will kill you in a second. Like every map Cranium did in this collection it's way too tedious, too difficult and the lack of ammo and health makes the experience completely unenjoyable. Mephisto's Maosoleum was fucking horrendous in the same way and while Black Tower certainly has good aesthetics it's a bitch to play and didn't feel an ounce of fun during my playthrough.

>>6330010
Soundfont? What soundfont? DMXOPL is where it's at.

>>6331838
You sound like you need to take a breathe

Ey guys, what difficulty to play in Doom 64? Like what's UV and what's nightmare?

>>6331875
There's no nightmare mode.
Watch me die is essentially UV

Okay this is gonna sound weird. Are there TEXT GUIDES for secrets in Doom 64?
BTW are Lost Levels somewhere in the main campaign? I thought it was gonna be a separate option.

>>6331924
You unlock them after completing the main episode.

>>6331924
The lost levels unlock right after you finish the campaign.

>>6331924
Use the wiki, it explains how to find every secret on every map.
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/MAP01:_Staging_Area_(Doom_64)#Secrets
Example

>>6331924
>>6331931
Alternatively, beating hectic also unlocks lost levels, I noticed.

>>6330002
dope read. Thanks anon

>>6331870
I have been quarantined to my appartment for a month and a week, sorry bro I just need to vent.

>>6330252
Cool walkthroughs, anon. Enjoyed watching them.

>>6331826
MAP32 is fine as a shitpost. It's a minor shock followed by watching 34 cyberdemons get crushed by a ceiling. If it were a serious level with its own PWAD then it'd be really shit, but it's more or less like the Wolfenstein secret levels in vanilla DOOM2; it's not meant to be complex or even that interesting, just a neat little bonus if you find it.
Express Elevator to Hell is really bad though I agree. Elevators as central setpieces in DOOM maps seems really troubled, people really want to make it work but it always seems to end up horrible in the early years. Requiem's MAP08 is the earliest actually decent elevator map I've come across thus far; it's linear, it requires you go top-to-bottom instead of the other way around, has other parts to the level instead of just being the elevator, and if you need to go back up the elevator has a neat little mechanism of vanilla ingenuity where the elevator can either raise one floor or go all the way down to precisely the lowest floor you've unlocked, making it so the player won't get lost and forget what floor they need to go to.

>>6330282
dex vs. str

>>6331354
I'm very close to finishing my first Blood map. It's taken a ton of effort and some MAPEDIT wrangling, but its almost fucking done. One problem, I don't know how to end the map. After the player gets the moon key, they go into that north-most cave area. What's going to be there is undetermined, I need help with that. Throw me some ideas man!

>>6331424
Yeah, the lighting's kinda meh. Start by making the lava sector bright with a glow special and taper off the brightness to surrounding areas. I dig those textures btw.

how can i play quake 1 on 640x480 with black bars in linux?

>>6331354
Trying to recreate a doomified version of the Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil 1 without 3D floors, slopes and shit.

>>6332131
looks great

>>6331354
I lost the version with all my progress a while ago so I'm trying to re-do everything on this airship-type level I've been working on.
It used to look better I swear

>>6332159
backup your maps on a cloud like Mega next time

>>6332176
Yeah. That's why I still have anything at all. Time to get extra paranoid.

Just started Blood via Fresh Supply

Is it just me or is this shit way harder than DOOM, Duke and Shadow Warrior?

>>6330536
>>6330540
source?
buff totems and timed encounter gory nests when?

Where do the SSAO and shadowmap settings in gzdoom actually take effect? Or do you need a mod to add them to the game (just playing the standard ultimate doom wad)

>300 minutes of /vr/ map26
Why. Why would you map that.

>>6332190
They take effect immediately.

>>6330896
i feel like 3d models for doom would work better with an art style in mind and something that fits the chopped animations
i remember someone making an hell knight and caco models for quake and they looked good
most fanmade models suck because they try to add a bit more detail
not full realism but it's more of an unnecessary resolution
>>6330809
what wad?

>>6332195
You're gonna love the next map

>>6332131
You can use Boom's silent teleporter to emulate multiple floors

>>6332214
>silent teleporter
Probably my favorite Boom trick. So versatile.

>>6332214
Thanks for reminding me, anon, i forgot those existed.

>>6331807
>>How do I stop constantly quicksaving
I came up with this when I was playtesting levels for anons. Do pistol starts on skill 1 to blast your way through the level, using zero saves. This will let you learn your way through the level with relatively few risks. Then start the level over on skill 2, and 3, and so on. Eventually the level will be too difficult to play through pistol starts without having everything memorized. That's when you move on to the next level. Beat the entire episode or megawad, and if you really like it, then start over on HMP or UV and beat the WAD in a continuous run, saving only at the start of every level. If you don't really like it, then you move on to another set of maps

I've been playing the World Tour version of Duke Nukem 3d and NOW I learn there's a freaking source port for the original PLUS it can play all of it's expansion packs? How the fuck do I get my money back? I feel dirty for giving Randy Pitchford my hard earned cash.

>>6332195
What did they map?

>>6331883
>There's no nightmare mode.
In Doom 64 EX you unlock Nightmare mode by completing Hectic. I don't know if they included that in the new port as well

Real Quick, if I want to play doom 64 on my pc, which version is better: The EX Source Port or the steam version?

>>6332195
>>6332210
How the hell do I find the secrets here? I'm at my wit's end.

>>6332247
Something about a vanilla wizard and tons of frustration.

>>6332185
Don't tell me you started on extra crispy. That's like Doom nightmare but worse. Well Done is possible but hard. I play on Lightly Broiled and find it harder than Doom on UV.

>>6332245
