Different anon but i wanna thank the guy that recommended zdoom 2008 shit works like a charm

>going insane because I can't find any of the keycards in Sigil Map4
>give up and decide to look at a youtube walkthrough
>turns out the keys just aren't fucking spawning
How? Why?
Would it be cheating to just use the console to give me the keys?

Lost Civilization is the best wad no one talks about.

Is there a mod for doom that scores you for actions like double/multi kills or killing an enemy with a barrel and such? Something similar to Bulletstorm's scoring system.

>>6362816
desu everything that isn't the paintrain, the radioactive drink or the conqueror in the new trailblazer feels kind of gimmicky

>>6362856
There was a port called "scoredoom," which was a fork of zdoom, but as far as I know, the development ceased. That said, it's only a few years old, so there should be a good number of mods that work with it.

>>6362856
I love E3M2.

Did you know that Lost Souls only have 3 seconds of memory?

Remember that Unholy Cathedral is the best underrated map ever:

Atmosphere- 9/10
Map Design- 8/10
Music- 8/10

Haven't posted here in months and months.

Hows everyone doing.

>>6362845
Why not just restart the game and start the map over

What are some of your favorite Quake mappacks that aren't Arcane Dimensions? I want to go through some before I hit that big boy. So far I'm gonna get Nyarlathotep, Something_Wicked, and ne_ruins.

Am I the only one who doesn't like nuDoom? I finally got it and just starting out I am not enjoying it at all. I think I might go back to Doom II.

>>6362915
Because I don't want to lose all my progress?

>>6362842
no probs mate. No idea why that is, all I know is that old zdoom looks more gray-ish.

MY DUDES. Duke Nukem Weapons and Monsters + Sterilized Ashes. You HAVE to try it. You need to idclip through the doors that open in the ambush in Map02, but it's minor inconvenience. Link to the Duke mod:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-weapons-monsters/downloads/duke-nukem-3d-weapons-aliens-v6

>>6362930
What progress? Just "changemap ExMx" in console.

>play breakdown for the first time

uhh what the fuck did i just experience

does anybody remember how this thread freaked out about z script? Why is nobody complaining about it anymore?

>>6362929
/v/'s that way, champ.

>>6362920
travail

>>6362956
I don't even remember there being "freakouts," but I'd assume it was about how people spent all this time with DECORATE and now there was this scary new thing with no documentation that everyone was going to start using
No one complains anymore probably because it was silly to do so to begin with

Postan art
So i've finished the first mappack for quake and i am moving for the second one, so far the custom ammunition is a neat change but it's too soon to say, i am at the second level

>>6362890

Can anyone present me with a more comprehensive editing guide with slade only small post death spatters were recovered right, I cant seem to make the spray or the decals fit

How does this looks for you? I kinda messed up placement of various things and moving them is pain in the ass, so I'm trying to arrange textures in different way (Demon head will disappear at a certain point opening a monster closet which is also a passage forward.

>>6362958
Hey, I mentioned Doom II at least.

>>6363091
Looks good to me, but look at that pillar texture up there, it's bright gray and sticks out.

>>6363091
>>6363103
Also maybe add some little frame for the demon head.

>>6363103
I'm not really sure what you mean.

>>6363103

There's no bright gray pillar in that shot you dipfuck

>>6363105
This part, shouldn't it be colored like the ones on the side? Basically the inside of the pillars.

>>6363114
I think it's as close as it gets between ceiling and wall texture. I chose to be fully vanilla compatible and use only Doom 2 textures and format, so I can't just slap the same texture on the ceiling.

>>6362856
>Shotgun, boxes of shells, chaingun, berserk and plasma rifle readily available to be picked up at any point in the level
Whoever made this meem sucks at this game.

>>6363091
You could add some metal pillars to the corners of the room. Give it more life.
Also, disable that horrible texture/sprite filtering.

>>6363145
I can probably cut the corners entirely. Would actually make the whole marble thing look better. Something to think.

Well, I suppose this is it for today. Rounded corners is an improvement. A teleport that just puts you to the other end of the room sends clear message that mapper is a jackass.

>>6363145
>Also, disable that horrible texture/sprite filtering.
Last time I tried changing graphical settings, I made everything worse, and now I'm afraid to touch them again.

Finished Abyss of Pandemonium. I really hope this didn't sell for as much as Scourge or Dissolution back in '98 because it's far worse than either. Borders on bad with AOP1M5. Doesn't hold a candle to the other mission packs two except for The Forgotten One, that pretty damn cool and spooky boss, and the soundtrack. Soundtrack was really good.

What is your favorite soundfont guys? Had been using arachno one with the Ultimate Doom and its great

>>6362898
Based, UC is the second best stage from epi3

>>6363439
Timbres of Heaven is amazing but I have to constantly tweak the volume since it is so much louder than most other soundfonts.

Now I see why Civvie avoids it,these goddamn maps never end they're unbalanced as hell.
You could finish Ultimate Doom twice by the time you finish TNT.

>>6363574

Get good.

...that's it? I run past a Cyberdemon to grab an invincibility sphere and that's the end of the wad?
Other than that disappointing end Sigil was pretty good. I heard a lot of people complain that UV difficulty for it was too hard but I didn't have much of an issue.

>>6363580
This heavily memorized route sure showed him.

>>6363556
Isn't it feature complete for DarkPlaces and now he's working on a Quakespasm port?

>>6363580
I meant that getting through those maps before 12 was an absolute chore.
I got bored before finishing that one.

>>6362815
Where to get soundfounts for Build games such as Duke 3D, Blood, and RN Rampage?

>>6363595
I thought he had moved on to slayer's testament and then from that to wrath:aeiou. I'd imagine by this point he can't look at 1.5 code without cringing

Who would win in a 1v1 to the death, Ranger or Doomguy?

>>6363657
Duke Nukem

>>6363562
Quake Champions: Doom Edition is the epitome of BASED

Is it significantly harder to map for Build?

>>6363670
Yes, because the tools suck.

>>6363672
Yknow, with all the rereleases of Build engine games and Ion Fury being made and having Workshop support, you'd think someone would've made better tools for mapping in Build at this point.

>>6363657
one of them got mary sued to obscene levels, and one's a sadsack who's tired of fighting, just wants to go home, and is secretly terrified that the hell realm he's in has broke him beyond recognition
it is a mystery who would win

No other games have this issue, what's going on

You guys have a favorite sound effect? For me, it's the arachnotron death sound.

>>6363684
Yeah, well, MaxED said he may do that but the DukeBuilder repo he started after he stormed off GZDoomBuilder is dead.

>>6363703
Doom's generic pain sound
"OOOOOoooooOOOOO"

>>6363703
Revenant punch

>>6363703
Archvile alert sound

>>6363703
The camel noise the imps make

>>6363689
>mary sued
The term you're looking for is Gary Stu.
Honestly as much as I like the concept of Doomguy turning into Hell's Boogeyman,I didn't like the execution in Eternal that much.

That woman dialogue in that cutscene saying he's DOOM was quite cringeworthy And make him talk was kinda weird

>>6363657
If we're talking about Ranger vs Doomguy then most likely Ranger given his arsenal and weapons.
Powerups like Quad Damage are insane even if Doomguy has the BFG,Ranger is incredibly fast.

If we go for current Doomguy then he wins.

I've been trying to buy all the rereleases of old school FPS on 360/XBone - I've got Doom/Doom II, Duke, Wolf3D, Marathon 2 so far... Also the HD rerelease of Quake 2 that was a bonus with Quake 4 on 360. I really wish Blood, Shadow Warrior or Rise of the Triad had been ported at some point. Yes I have all this stuff on my PC but this is currently what my autism is focused on.

Anyone know of any others I've missed? Stuff like unlockable versions or bonus content like Quake 2 count too

>>6363720
Ranger and Doomguy, full arsenals but no powerups or medkits

John Romero seems like such a nice, down to earth guy these days in interviews and online.
Did he change over time, or was his "douchebag" persona just a marketing tactic?

>>6363720
Making him talk was done in literally the only way that would be acceptable, elevating the Doom comic from meme to gospel. Hugo Martin actually does give a shit about the series and Eternal feels like a love letter to Doom II, despite some quite cringey moments and dialogue such as the one you mentioned - Doomguy speaking however was executed in a genius way I thought.

>>6363729
Nah he was an arrogant dick for awhile, especially when he was strung out on coke during the Ion Storm Dallas days

>>6363729
maybe both
maybe a bit more of the latter

>>6363649
pretty sure he said hes only a prop modeller for wrath, not a coder

>>6363684
The mapster32 devs prefer to just add more arcane hotkeys on to the ancient 90s-era editor
The issue is the old guard know the tool well enough that they would never want to switch to a new one

>>6363717
I think I may have heard that sound also pop up in Primal Rage and even some monster movies.

>>6362856
Johnny Doom gives you points for actions that give you powerups if you fill up a bar

>>6362956
There was one guy who was having really stupid fits about it for a while, and everyone was telling him to shut his fucking mouth because he was being annoying.

>>6363726
so the classic versions?
in close range, it depends on the armor ranger's wearing. doomguy can take at most 198 damage with blue armor on, meaning 7 tics (0.7s) of LG damage or two rockets will do him in. ranger can take 247 damage with yellow armor or 300 with red armor, both of which take him out of SSG oneshot range, and the BFG isn't much of a threat with smart positioning and ranger's agility. at that point, it comes down to whether ranger can land the two rockets or 7 LG ticks before the second SSG shot comes out, or at least keep doomguy far enough away with them that the second SSG shot isn't lethal. if ranger has green armor or no armor, he's just dead, the SSG will oneshot him.
at mid range, ranger wins handily with the LG, no contest.
at long range... it's a toss up. doomguy has chaingun tapping, but ranger has his shotgun and an easier to track target. I'd say doomguy comes out stronger, since whittling down ranger's health makes it easier to oneshot him with the SSG, but neither of them are getting a kill here.
this doesn't take into account map knowledge or predictive rockets/grenades/plasma, because that's a real pain to factor in. doomguy gains more from getting predictive hits - his rockets hurt more, walking into a wall of plasma sucks, and if you get hit by a BFG ball you deserve what happens to you - but ranger is more likely to get those predictive hits, grenades are better at denying approaches, and he can't be caught off guard switching weapons. it's a toss-up.

verdict: ignore everything I just said, boot up generations arena or samsara, and have a go at it instead

>>6363308
I'll help you out bro.

>>6363814
I like the idea of fighting game crossovers applied to different genres, but it seems to only happen with puzzle games and mods for old shooters. That said, the Quake 2/3 GA mods and Samsara are both great, I just wish GA got updates more than once a half-decade and that Samsara's unofficial expansion was actually polished

>>6363703
For general retro FPS, it's gotta be the "aaaaAAAAAAAUUUGGGHHhhhhh" in Blood from throwing dynamite at a cultist/zombie and hearing the sound fade in and out from the flying corpses.
For Doom I'd say Pain Elemental damage noise because fuck 'em. Fuck 'em.

>>6363703
Mancubus firing sound

>>6363734
I'm simply not a fan of those but I won't deny that everything else was wonderfully executed. I wish game devs were as passionate as Hugo Martin. It's that kind of attitude that was lost in late 2000s for the devs.

>>6363143
The problem isn't the fact that you have to pistol start in a level where you can run like a bitch to grab a plasma rifle and pretend it's all good. It's that you have to play e3m2.

>There's Quake maps for Turok 1.

Just when I thought Quake was imported in amost every retro shooter. That's awesome.

>>6362729
Yes, it is.

>>6363729
He still has an ego, I'd say. But he's generally gotten better about it ever since Daikatana made him a laughing stock.

>>6363705
DukeBuilder was likely just him making a kneejerk decision around the time he quit GZDB, and never actually had any passion behind it.

>>6363863
It always sounds like "LOVEYOURMOM" to me

>>6363729
He was King Shit of Fuck Mountain for a long time, but it was the 90s, man. Ego was confidence and confidence sold copies.

So probably a fair whack of both.

>>6363904
I always thought it sounded like "UNGYABOMB"

>>6363901
Why did he ragequit anyway? I faintly remember something about him randomly updating the builder with a new texture browser, and people got confused as to why he did it, and asked if it could be an option or reverted, and his response was "guess I'll make a duke editor, bye"

>>6363925
that was literally it
people wanted an option for the old texture browser, and instead of doing anything remotely rational, he ragequit GZDB development

How do I combine the crouch and swim down keys in GZDoom?

>>6363965
Bind them both to the same key?

>>6363969
You can't bind one key to two different actions in the in-game menu.

I found this code in the ZDoom forums:

alias +jumpandmoveup "+jump; +moveup"
alias -jumpandmoveup "-jump; -moveup"
alias +crouchandmovedown "+crouch; +movedown"
alias -crouchandmovedown "-crouch; -movedown"

bind space "+jumpandmoveup"
bind ctrl "+crouchandmovedown"

But I dunno where to put it. I pasted it into the .cfg file after all the other key binds but it didn't do anything

>>6363973
put them in a file called autoexec.cfg

You know it's proto-Halo right? Start with 2, the first one sucks. 2 has Bungie's favorite one trick pony, setting up large battles between multiple hostile factions and throwing you into it. That is literally 90% of the game and level design is typically crude but the gunplay and physics carry it. If you're used to how Bungie "designs" "games" you'll have fun

https://alephone.lhowon.org/

Only 2 has the HD assets configured right out of the box. You may have to copy the HD enemy sprites folder over from your Marathon 2 plugins folder to the Marathon 3 plugins folder for them to appear correctly in 3

>>6364210
I read that it had rocket jumping before Quake.

Why did Halo 1 blow minds in 2001 when it was literally just Marathon with vehicles

>>6364213

Not just rockets. It takes place on alien planets with lower gravity than Earth, it varies by map. On some maps you can use the grenade launcher recoil to jump or even fly around using the flamethrower

I still boot up 2 and 3 a few times a month just to replay the most hectic battles, like the ones in 2 between Pfhor, Sph't and the Bobs

Handling criticism is an art and a science.

if you have an nvidia GPU, download nvidia inspector and limit your GPU's frame rate to that of your monitor refresh rate. i dunno about AMD but im sure you can find a way to do the same thing to an AMD GPU

or go to mouse options in control panel, and disable "Enable mouse precision"

I limited my GPU's framerate and that worked for me. I was having problems with PrBoom and the new Duke port and this helped for the most part. lots of old games seem to have this problem and there are numerous "solutions"; google "prboom mouse control" or "duke nukem world tour mouse acceleration" for example

The Doom Community is infested with Trannies and Basedboys.

I refuse to use any ZDoom or its derivatives because A) ZDoom's former lead is a tranny faggot and B) Graf Zahl is a fart huffer and a faggot and likely a tranny in hiding.

/vr/ is the last remaining bastion of the old guard.

>new monsters are alright, but the other Doom 4 demakes have them too
Only unique addition that I liked was giving the exclusive multiplayer weapons upgrades.

I don't really see any appeal. D4T mostly offers the same things, but has Android support, is less bloated, and is more streamlined. EOA attempts to be the most accurate to what it's demaking, and does a good job at it. D4V is for purists, novelty, and is a neat mixup of classic Doom with new elements sprinkled in. Argent is for people who just want the new weapons for use in vanilla and monster replacers. Any D4 mod I haven't listed, like Zion or Lazarus, likely isn't worth touching.
The whole thing feels like a combo of "Doom 4 mod that wants to be like a Pillowblaster mod but also wants to be Doom Eternal without really having anything from it." Maybe I answered my own question.

Dude why are you wasting your time here? Don't you have some stuff to break or something?

>>6364115
funnily enough, Nash just ragequit because someone "stole" his idea. The idea? Build engine weapon sway

I had this idea of a community project which is Doom 2 in reverse. You start at the dead icon of sin and have to backtrack through all 30 maps in reverse order, starting at the exit with exit at the start. The maps should change a bit, hellish maps should be ruined and decayed, normal maps should look more infested as if hell corrupted them more since the last time. Some geometry changes are acceptable to shake things up, like holes in the walls and collapsed passages.

>>6364612
No idea who the guy is, but what does weapon sway have to do with the engine? Every single Build game that is not derived from the Duke3D codebase does it differently.

>>6363729
I mean Carmack used to be close to a sociopath but he too mellowed out over the years

I guess its just how it goes when you grow older

>>6364625
It's not particularly important about the semantics of which build engine game. It's just the fact that two guys had a similar idea for a gzdoom mod, and Nash (the guy who did it first) threw a shitfit and declared all his other mods dead.

>>6364635
I'm kinda intrigued. Could you give me a link to the thread where this happened?

>>6364640
There's no one particular thread. A lot of it happened on discord, but his general sentiments regarding the more recent mod are just plain petty.

I organize them into one huge pile in GZDoom folder. I'm not sure I can organize them any other way anyway, I run them from a command line in FAR Manager, I don't want to type folder names as well.

>>6364728
>>6364729
I don't have a soundfont folder.

>>6364696
I organize all my maps by what source ports can play them, pic related.

I already have all my command lines created, so I can't rename my folders without re-doing my command lines, but in hind-sight, I would make some changes.
1) I would remove the world "compatible" from my folder names so that it's easier on the eyes. For example:
1vanilla 2limitremoving 3boom 4mbf 5gzdoom
2) Do not add the year to the WADs folder name, it really doesn't help so I stopped doing it. It's also redundant because I add the WAD's release year in the command line's name.

I don't use gameplay mods so I can't help you organize those. I just lump all my mods together in one folder because I only use a small amount, things like PerK's Hi-Res SFX and weapon animations, just cosmetic stuff.

>>6364720
OPL is somber and creates a mood and makes you feel like you're fucked.
Fluid has more instrumentals but its also, ahem, more fluid than I think any of the other soundfonts including sc55, which reminds me more of a garage band haplessly banging on cymbals on a summer afternoon.

>>6364696
a folder for each one, then do a "cd %wadname%" before launching. this way each wad has its own saves/screenshots folder automatically

>>6364740
go to folder for sourceport
make folder
name folder soundfonts
put soundfonts in folder

I keep each WAD in its own folder in case I want to download demos for the WAD, so I can keep the WADs txt files and the demos txt files all together and organized

>>6364740
Depends on the source port.

>>6364764
Hmm seems I need to update the guide to explain specifically how to change the soundfonts for PrBoom's and GZDoom's FluidSynth. I'll explain later but for now use VirtualMIDISynth. That should keep you busy for a long time

I used to keep all my command lines inside of C:\Games\Doom, but someone showed me that you can create shortcuts with icons, so I moved all the command lines to C:\Games\Doom\Data, and I created shortcuts for the WADs that I am currently playing or have completed in the Doom folder, pic related

>>6364696
Everything is sitting in the doom root dir, and I have a painstakingly handcrafted .bat file that I use as a launcher which lists out every wad.

I used to simply keep everything inside of C:\Games\Doom, but someone showed me you can create shortcuts with icons, so I moved everything into C:\Games\Doom\Data, and I created shortcuts for the WADs that I am playing or have completed into the plain ol' Doom folder, pic related

Thanks. I'll try it.

>>6364363
EOA. It actually faithfully recreates nuDoom mechanics, unlike D4(T)(D) which add too much bullshit of their own.

>>6364363
D4T is my preferred. EOA is more accurate, but requires an add-on for monsters, and with or without it monsters die super easily. Especially since it has the "Double Trouble", so you can down a Mancubus in the time it'd take to fire one Super Shotgun shot in OG Doom.
The only real issue I have with D4T is the Lightning Gun attacks they gave to the Hellrazers and Harvester, the Chaingunner and one of two Archvile replacements specificically. They cut off a lot of health, and while it makes some sense for Chaingunners since you shouldn't be up close to them anyway, having a health-chewing rapid fire attack for the enemy based around his long wind-up is really bewildering. It's tolerable enough when there's only one of the dude, but once multiple show up it can be a real pain the ass to deal with.

Woops I thought I had more info there than I do.

Basically download VirtualMIDISynth and use that to choose your soundfonts. Select "PortMIDI" as your midi player in PrBoom to use VMS. It should automatically work in Crispy. For GZ select it in the sound options menu

Looking at Samsara Extra Heroes, I now understand Terminus stance. Sure, he refused to add more characters, but at least he made sure that those who were added worked like they were supposed to. Here we have people adding million shovelware characters no one cares about instead of polishing iconic characters such as Caleb and Lo Wang. And maybe they should've covered some actual good games, instead of implementing fucking Capstone trash?

People actually think those hd sprites look good? They're hot garbage and I'm confused as to why they're bundled with Aleph One by default because they totally ruin the visuals, and they take up ludicrous amounts of space.

>>6364917
They look like cheap plastic toys.

Infinity HD Weapons >>>>>> Marathon 2 XBLA Pack

>>6364910
I'm not talking about Dark Forces (and, in fact, it one of the games that need more polish in this mod), I'm talking about stuff like Witchhaven and Corridor 7.

Still a walking heap of shit, which couldn't be further from "iconic".

He's a racist sexist ninja grandpa, what's not to like?

>>6364921
The reboot isn't bad, the sequel to it is.

>>6364929
He's not sexist or racist.

>>6363443
Doom's episode 3 is shit though, being the second best map there means nothing. Even then UC is vomit inducing.

>>6364696
By subcategory and author. It's hard picking out wads just by their filename.

>>6364947

I think Dakka does. It also gives unlimited ammo when you hit a score threshold as well. http://git.jinotra.in/ijon/dakka

You're right, it's something far beyond that. He's a load of shit, everyone but a few (You)s used to hate him back then, and nothing could save him, thankfully.

>>6364964
Why do you hate ninja grandpa?

>>6364942
>The reboot isn't bad
It's not good either.
>He's not sexist or racist
He's literally a walking racial stereotype (and the creators can't decide whether he's supposed to be Chinese or Japanese). It's not like it's a bad thing, but it's still a fact.

Ninja grampa cant get laid, thats why.

>>6364978
We'll agree to disagree.

>>6365036
Bullshit. There are two kinds of opinions - mine, and the wrong one.

>>6365045
>twitter.jpg

Why some people claim that Blood is a "horror parody"? It's one of the most atmospheric games out there, and some parts, especially the urban areas, are far more ominous and unsettling than some purpose-made horror games.

>>6365082
Often the "parody" is more loving of the genre then the "serious" works

>>6365082
Because it has black humor and references to to other horror medias scattered about, it's atmospheric but it's immediately gone the second you hear "CRUDUX CRUO"

>>6365109
In what way the cultist language ruins the mood? If anything, it makes things even more hostile.

>>6362815
Question, what source port can I configure to always show sprites face on? I preferred the earlier source port implementation, where if I mouselook over an edge, entities appear strangely tilted up towards me, over the modern solution of looking at the top of a cardboard cutout.

>>6365082
Parody doesn't have to mean denigrating or trivializing, there's such things as loving parody, which is what you see a lot of with Duke Nukem.

>>6365082
Because they play in hi-res, not 320x200.

>>6365180
So did I. What does that have to do with anything?

>>6364978
>the creators can't decide whether he's supposed to be Chinese or Japanese
"Lo" is definitely Chinese.

>>6365149
Pretty sure gzdoom has an option for that.

>>6365195
And yet he speaks in Engrish, uses Japanese weapons and worked for Japanese employer.

>>6365198
I saw that, but it's for horizontal rotation of the sprites, relative to your rotation. They can either all linearly align, perpendicular to the direction you're facing, or they each can radially align straight toward you.

>>6365149
>>6365219
I wonder where are the "GZDoom has everything that Build has plus much more" people now...

>>6365226
That is an incredibly idiosyncratic feature, in the vein of what I want, but I couldn't find what I want. Doom Legacy used to have the option, when this business of sprites as models first came out. I liked the original way of seeing the sprite face on even if I'm looking down on it from above.

How is that Quake 2 port? It is apparently the only official HD rerelease of the game

>>6364696
I separate doom and doom 2 pwads in their own folders (final doom pwads are included inside doom 2 folder, as theyre few and far between, and generally pretty obvious when a wad requires them). And within each, I have folders for single maps, episodes, megawads, and TCs. Gameplay mods have their own folder outside of the iwad folders, as theyre not usually iwad specific.

>>6363729
>or was his "douchebag" persona just a marketing tactic?
It was.
He was reluctant as FUCK about the marketing for Daikatana and was an all-around nice guy. However it's undeniable that he had an ego, it['s just that during Daikatana's development, he hired fans and people that only played video games and never developed a game in their lives.
You can see how no one questioned his ego this way during Daikatana's development. I highly encourage reading Masters of Doom to see how that whole thing went.
Also I'll be frank, John Carmack's reasons for firing Romero boil down to "he told me to take a break during programming therefore he must not be working and must be a lazy fuck."

>>6363742
Who drew this?

>>6364378
This is great, but the RedNeckerz post looks kinda illegible, I recommend either making it larger or something.
After that, it's probably perfect.

>>6364949
I'd like to sort by author, but it gets a bit tricky with megwads that have a long list of credits, imo.

This is one of my favorite looking maps in all of Marathon 2. Every time I play through I look forward to this.

>>6364378
I considered donating some shit to Satanic Infestation for the same reason - fuck those people being assholes.
Fraggle was completely reasonable though. I wouldn't consider that to be seething at all.

>>6364949
Meticulous.

>>6364583
What map?
I'm making improvements as I make E4, so I could edit it if it's a real issue.
I removed an entire map because it confused people, and shoved it in the bonus eps secret map. Not above changing shit in the least. In my final final for realsies release the map is just gone.

>>6364831
*best

>>6364823
As much as I loved D4T I consider EOA superior but the amount of stuff D4T has like insta glory kills with berserk etc. are still good.

>>6364426
I didn't get bothered by those things but D4D just pales in comparison to D4T and EOA.
Dual wielding would've been fine but those sprites just look wrong.
Why it couldn't be just a simple Doom 4 like mod is beyond me.
No wonder DBThantos moved on from the project and gave us those Quake mods as well.

>>6365208
I don't get your point, a Chinese person could never do this? Also wasn't Lo Wang like half-Chinese, half-Japanese, or was that just the reboot?

>>6364880
It's a good example of quantity over quality. The characters in the original may not have been what everyone wanted, but they at least served a unique purpose, and they at least weren't buggy, even if Duke's kicking code was apparently a mess.
Samsara EX or whatever it's called, feels like a Smash Bros fangame or MUGEN. The school of thought is "let's spend time cramming more characters in, rather than spiffy up what we already have."
As you said, relatively popular characters still need polish yet Wolf3D clones barely anyone's heard about get shoved in. Lo Wang's SMG doesn't even work properly. Half of the time you fire, it spits out one shot before deciding to reload the clip, and I can't find any workaround besides restarting or getting lucky.
Balance is fucked too, with some characters being redundant and others being completely outclassed. I don't know why you'd pick Parias over Witchavenguy unless you can't stand staring at the hideous digitized sprites. Doom64guy is basically the same as Doomguy, but has the Unmaker, which lets him nuke things where vanilla can't.
Also, one of the mod's main draws was compatibility with all Doom-engine games, and I highly doubt the mess of EX kept this.

What are some good single player class mods?

Is Marathon fun?

>>6365681
He's just a Chinese weeb.

>>6364880
I like the idea of more obscure characters but this is too much.
Someone who's infamously bad or has a small following are fine but complete nobodies it feels too cluttered.

>>6365740
Same thoughts and make me appreciate the original Samsara more.
Each character feels unique and most of them are fun to play.

Plus Quake Champions Doom Edition gave us tons of characters,while they have the same weapons,they have distinct abilites which is nice.

I like most of Witchaven weapons sprites though

>>6365778
No. Pretty much every aspect of the gane (except for the atmospheric music) is ugly, slow, and dull. Plus the mouse look is absolutely horrible. And im not even super anal about mouse controls, people always complain about Build's mouse but it feels great compared to Marathon.

>>6365740
There were a few well balanced additions, but for the most part they were completely fucked.

Does anyone have the doom dialogue editor that an anon here made a while back? I know it's somewhere on my hard drive but I can't fucking find the damn thing.

Pretty good actually, it was very early on in the 360s life span so the fact it outputs in 1080p and 60 FPS is pretty remarkable.

So I guess no one knows any other ports of classic fps to 360/XBone besides the ones I already listed?

It's a pity. I wanted to make some thing like this in GZDoom. I mean, I could use models but I feel I might as well be using another engine... but Doom makes everything else in mapping easy, it's just when I want to make a fight more grandiose, BUILD seems better.

Yeah, by me.

>>6366512
They won't work. Most gameplay mods are made for advanced engines such as the ZDoom family, Eternity, etc. because they use exclusive features.
Prboom+ is intentionally minimalistic and runs up to Boom/MBF-compatible maps, and Lost Civilization is Boom-compatible, so it should work for that mapset.

That's probably the anon who chose to contribute, yeah. Good for him, especially if this helps making people like IvanDobrovski red from butthurt.

>>6366667
He is indeed from /vr/. I am him. Pic related for proof. It's a high resolution version of SHTGB0 that will be found in SI. I made 3D models of each weapon I contributed and rendered sprites from them.
>making people like IvanDobrovski red from butthurt.
Lol, yes. I love to see them prophesize about the legal apocalypse inbound for the Freedoom alternative. Some how I doubt SI will come before a judge anytime soon.

There's this addon for EOA, someone would probably need to go into the Discord to get it though.

the new doom's make me compare doom to planet of the apes
because the older/classic movies and the new reboot trilogy are in a completely different direction/vision, which sort of applies to 90's doom and reboot doom
it's not bad but it's not the exact same dna either
and maybe it doesn't have to be when old doom never truly died for obvious reasons

>>6366721
>actually going through the effort of making 3D weapon models for a Freedoom fork project that's probably the brainchild of a 13 year old
unequivocally based
there's charm to be had in mspaint mods like square and netronian, and being thought of by a literal kid adds to it
if the unreasonably worried staff actually remove the thread, it will only look bad on their part

>>6366780
I haven't browsed that thread for a couple days, did the mods chime in with some seethin'?

>>6366770
I will. I'm going to do a couple maps for SI after I finish the one I'm currently working on, which I'll post here. I expect to have it done tomorrow.

>>6366805
You know, getting pretty tempted to contribute a map or two myself now.

>>6366780

The staff don't give a shit, it's just whiny contrarian faggots like redneckerz and joe-ilya trying to ruin the guy's day.

>>6366780
>unequivocally based
lol, thank you. I love 3D modelling and Doom modding. If I can combine both of them, then that's pretty great.
>>6366816
If you do, we should both post in the thread or PM Sergei to make sure there's no overlap in our efforts. I'd be happy to playtest your map.

>>6366840
Between the MLP avatar and general posting style, joe-ilya comes off as either a kid himself or a garden-variety autist.
But what the hell is redneckerz's deal? I've seen his name pop up more in the last month or so. He whined about that silly coronavirus mod on ZDF, and then went to the Doomworld thread to tell people there about what happened, only to be ignored. He was also in the middle of the Tormentor shit, and I recall him sucking off Rachael and I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved with that trans rights mapset that crashed.

>>6366879

Excuse me, what?

What even is the point of freedoom? I mean, yeah ok it's 100% copyright free Doom. But who gives a fuck? It looks like ass.

he’s probably your typical forumtard who’s sycophantic to whoever’s above him, which lets him do typical moral posturing and live out his power fantasies on the plebeian users
>>6366909
kevansevans, the guy who helps run the Reddit and Discord pages (surprise) tried starting a “trans-themed megawad” to show support for John Romero going into some Twitch idiot’s stream and voicing support. Unique additions planned for the megawad were things like changing the RBY keys into being blue, pink, and white. There would also be a dedicated easter egg room wherein the mappers would kiss Romero’s ass or something, and the rest I can’t care to remember.
It instantly started drama and shitflinging and I haven’t heard anything about it since whenever it started in early 2019, so the assumption is that it was cancelled due to evil bigots and dogwhistlers or whatever

Guys.
I think I hate the chainsaw.

IIRC, it's a thing among the Stallmanite FOSS/FLOSS communities where every piece of software needs to be completely free in terms of price, privacy, and source code. It's very idealistic and there are probably a few good examples I can't immediately name, but most of them are very amateurish and update once in a blue moon. Freedoom is one of these. Some people, despite Carmack and the rest of old id not giving a fuck if you pirate their almost 30 year old game, can't deal with using actual Doom because it's sold for 5 bucks on GOG and Steam, and this is horrible evil so they use the bootleg version.

>>6366960
>needs to be completely free in terms of price
Wrong. FOSS is supposed to be "free as free speech, not as free beer". Nothing in FOSS licenses prevents you from taking profit from your work, Stallman himself said as much, there are many commercial Linux distros. The point of Freedoom is that it can be packaged into FOSS distributions, and you can even use it in a commercial product as long as you provide source code (which is not a problem for a Doom wad).

>>6366960
Price is not the primary concern. Free, in the context of GNU/Libre/FLOSS is means you're free to do with it as you please, not that it is free in price. It just so happens that many of these efforts are free of charge, though. It is very idealistic, but it does occasionally produce software of exceptional quality.

t. Linux user.

>>6366952
>>6366957
I feel like I never understood how to use the chainsaw properly. Whenever I watch someone play on youtube they chainstun pinkies with ease, but when I try I get bitten all the time. Is there some kind of secret I'm not getting?

>>6366978
Move backwards but not enough that it disconnects the chainsaw from the pinky

>>6366978
Chainsawing is ridiculously easy on GZDoom because it buffs melee by modifying enemy hitboxes.

>>6366952
I don't like you.

I hope that that SI ends up being a huge community project that turns out as the superior alternative to freedoom

requesting the /vr/ approved version of the dancing pallbearers meme with imps

>>6367045
how hard would it be considering 4/6 people in charge of the maps don't give a shit anymore

>>6366721
Oh wow that actually looks really good, no wonder he was psyched

>>6367085
That is honestly freedoom's biggest problem. There's just no passion behind it.

>>6366978
>>6366985
Yeah, I tend to tap S repeatedly when I chainsaw monsters.

>>6366978
*bites through your chainsaw attack*

>>6366928
Does Doom Launcher auto-determine which IWAD you need?

>>6366952
I don't like it either, the sound is irritating. I'd rather waste shotgun ammo if I don't have berserk.

>Eternal DOOM MAP05's endin
This might be a DSP moment but how the fuck was I supposed to catch that? The room that has the "hint" fucking fills up with cacodemons and shotgunners, no sane person would stick around there. I happened to pick the "+5 years" teleporter first and I honestly couldn't tell that I hit a death trap due to it not being clear that there was nothing further, I wasted like ten minutes looking for a wall to hump a narrow ledge to go through.
For context, the ending has four teleporters and you're meant to pick the one(s) that will send you backward in time by 1250 years. Picking the wrong ones sends you to an inescapable area meant to kill you. There's no hint, as far as I can tell, that mentions this besides a texture in the room with keycard switches. I don't think there's even anything within the level to tell you you're TRYING to go back in time. Is it in the readme or something?

>>6362815

>>6367238
Small update it is indeed mentioned in the readme that your mission is to go back in time to stop a temporal demonic invasion, and it is partially my fault that I declined to read said story info. I think this is the first wad I've seen where the story text is necessary to progress in the game; I more or less stopped reading them after scrolling through Cranium's bizarre fanfiction in his Master Levels contribu—
>Cranium made this map in Eternal DOOM
It all fucking makes sense now

some updates were made to the Heretic/Hexen guys along with correcting John Clark

what is that system shock gameplay mod for doom I saw webms of here from time to time? is it out? what its title?

>>6367280

Thanks to whoever recommended Lost Civilization. It's completely incredible.

E2M3.
It's the wooden platform that leads to the red key. The way things look in CrispyDoom sorta blends the colors of the walls together.
Maybe if there was a step or something in front of it to draw more attention?
I don't know, I'm probably retarded for not thinking the switch for the platform was actually right behind me rather than somewhere else.

>>6366952
Play Doom 64, you'll learn to love it.

>>6367473
Isn't the Doom 64 version buffed?

>>6367483
I think so, and it feels very satisfying. Regarding using the chainsaw in original Doom I'd say you need to know which enemies have a pain state chance high enough to use it reliably, but I'd usually rather use berserk fist if I have it.

Did anyone ever ran a community project to make bite-sized maps, Scythe 1-style? I don't believe there's no demand for that kind of wad, and it's definitely easier to produce than megawads upon megawads of hour-long levels.

Give me an onomatopoeia for the gibbing sound. Bonus stage: Quake gibbing sound

>>6366945
If i have to be honest the way he draws is somewhat impressive
especially seeing that he looks like he was using mspaint with the anti alising, this dude has my respect on doing the concept arts.

>>6367528
BLLLKK CCKKKAAAAUUGGGKK
and
ERRRGGGNNH.... NYUM.

>>6367532
If he keeps the cartoony doodle style for the final sprites we might have a real winner here, and with a lot more soul than Freedoom's putty monsters.

>>6367527
Theres quite a few megawads, where the playable area had to be within 1024x1024 square.

>>6367483
It's also really buffed in Doom 3, which I think it's one of the game's saving graces.

>>6367546
Congestion series, if I remember correctly.

>>6367527
You'd probably like some of the speedmapping projects, since those usually have small maps.

>>6367527
Making bite-sized maps is hard though.

>>6367550
Honestly I think Doom 3 is when chainsaw design hit its peak. Classic one feels weak, and the ones from the new games are strong but very limited in use.

>>6367103
FreeDoom has always been a disjointed mess with a vague goal, which is why I've never particularly cared for it. There's some good stuff in there, but it has also been sitting on some pretty terrible placeholders since before some of the people here were born.

The odd bits and pieces accrued over the years, it's almost like the reject bucket of the community, you have all these odd bits and pieces from various people and sources. If the community and its projects are like a big nice repeating taco buffet, then FreeDoom is the bucket of mixed leftovers which someone saved because they didn't want to waste the food, but now it's cold, gross, and mushy, it's too late and nobody wants it, and it should have been thrown out last week.

>>6367565
Couldn't have put it better.

>>6363439
Giant Soundfont is one of the best IMO, but is is pretty large at 225 MB

>>6366992
I guess you could call it a buff, though it just by default applies a different model for detecting collision, which is more accurate and less janky.
Doom's original method works ok, but when it comes to melee versus large enemies, the hit detection gets VERY unreliable, it's hard to connect the saw or to connect punches against the fatso and the spiders for instance.

>>6363703
The Hexen CORK sound.

>>6367238
The progression and conveyance in Eternal Doom was not particularly stellar, no.

>>6363703
>For me, it's the arachnotron death sound.
Same. Plasma rifle reloading from Doom 3 is the runner-up.
