Different strokes for different folks and all but the idea of not enjoying exploration at all has always been completely foreign to me.

ZIMMER1, ZIMMER2, ZIMMER3 and ZIMMER4 seem to be some form of stucco types or those concrete surfaces that get treated with some form of comb before hardening to get that pattern. ZIMMER5 and ZIMMER7 seem to be lumpy and veiny stucco types, or maybe natural occurring stone surfaces.

Contains most wads mentioned in Cacowards, including Top 100 wads list, and a whole bunch of other wads. All playtested to be at least be playable, for every wad I've made screenshots and installed patches if those were needed.
Some old wads might still have dehacked problems, so you might want to play Compendium terawad if you'll encounter any problems.

I made Exotic Exports a year and a half ago (it's in the news archive): https://www.dropbox.com/s/rtv23e9k4c9g462/Exotic%20Exports%201.2.zip?dl=0

Outside of some rather basic test maps, I haven't completed one map since then. I've tried to make a bunch of other map concepts, but I've either lost motivation or I've had problems that I couldn't resolve on them. For example, I tried interpreting the fleshship that was described in TNT's story, but it ended up being more undetailed flesh than ship and the layout was really wonky too. I think I was trying to make it similar in map style to Halo 3's Cortana level, but I found that I couldn't properly do stuff like catwalks without room-over-room (it was in Boom format). Another map I tried to to do was called Retirement Grease (pic related) that was built around barrels, but the encounters were so poorly space out that placing barrels were hyper lethal...to the player.

Actually, looking back at some of my oldest shit, a lot of my maps played very similarly and no matter how I planned them, they almost always ended up having similar features; they start out linearly, then an optional room with extra stuff for the player, then the rest of the map played mostly linearly and ended quickly. For a while, I couldn't figure out how it always ended up the same, but eventually I figured out what was subtly influencing me, with its familiar drum and base.

D_RUNNIN.

I never replaced the music.

What "complevel" does Crispy Doom default to? Does it automatically apply -gameversion Doom 1.9 (-complevel 2 in PRB+) to WADs using Doom 2 as the IWAD? Does it switch to UltimateDoom/FinalDoom compat (-complevel 3 and 4 respectively in PRB+) accordingly depending on the IWAD? Or does it have some sort of generic compat setting when you don't specify -gameversion ?

I have never seen anything like this. The download page of the mod explicitly states that a majority of usermaps become unwinnable, and gives a link to maps that people have reported to beat.
The worst I've seen regarding HD is when someone criticizes it, and the response is the classic "git gud." I guess it's like Brutal in this regard that some of it's fans don't like criticism. But the mod is an acquired taste, a majority of people are ambivalent at best, and most of its fans are a small group who hang out in a Discord and schedule co-op runs.

The quote about how BD would've "changed the industry" comes from IGN video interview
What Romero really said back then was that had the Doom was released back in '93 as Brutal Doom it (direct quote) "would've destroyed the game industry"
From the rest of conversation it's clear that he meant that "violent videogames makes our childeren into killers" panic would've went through the roof, the game giving enough ammo to the proponents of the idea to pressure the government into banning any depiction of violence in all videogames forever, or at least put heavy censorship on the industry.

I'd argue that it "looks better" considering 90 or so percent of the default gibs are from the new Nashgore (permission was asked for and given). You're probably right about the customizability. Most of whatever addons I make tend to have an assload of options (because someone will inevitably ask for those anyway), which isn't always a good thing, as you can end up spending more time in the menu than actually playing. It's a double-edged sword. As for modularity, not sure how Nashgore fares in that department. Can't comment on that. UG is certainly more interfaceable, as the the gib spawning function has recently been exposed as a virtual function that can be overridden in a separate addon file using a handler inheriting from the main one. That's about all of it, though. It all boils down to personal taste. If you like Blood 2 or Shogo's gib physics, UG is probably what I'd recommend. If you want vanilla-styled gibbing, Nashgore is what you want. The two are hardly comparable. Plus, UG (unintentionally) works with other gib mods if you're using the right settings, meaning you can load both if you're bonkers and desire mega overkill. Whatever floats your boat.

Had to download it since I haven't really played with it for longer than 10 seconds.

>Poor in customizability, from what I see.
I guess that's fine with most people who download it because of its simplicity. Not everyone is autistic enough to want fuck around with settings for half an hour.

>Doesn't work with Hideous Destructor, despite being universal.
Although that automatically bumps it down a notch in my personal list of preferred gore mods, this isn't inherently Bolognese's fault. The ballistics refactor in HD broke UG as well (I did fix it though) because enemies who die from regular ballistic damage don't go below 0 health. Not to mention the usage of +NOEXTREMEDEATH puff flags. The rest of the time Bolognese works with other mods from what I've tested.

>Getting haunted by NOBLOCKMAP monsters that cannot die.
This was a bug a while ago that people complained about. Might have been only with some mods. Seems to be fixed now, or at least I can't reproduce it by normal means. Mentioning it because it might not be permanently fixed. That, or the fix for it introduces more bugs, which isn't that unlikely.

>Hacks.
When an enemy dies and is gibbed, a corpse and gibs are spawned. The original enemy itself's scale is set to 0.001 and its NOTARGET flag is set to "true". Problem is, NOTARGET doesn't prevent friendly monsters from targeting enemies. If a friendly archvile is present, it can and will resurrect the monster without resetting the scale, leaving it practically invisible. Annoying, since you can bump into it or god forbid it intercepts a rocket that you just fired, making it explode right in your face.

Overall I can't say I don't like it because I used to play the fuck out of Ketchup years ago when it was the only "tiny monster go big splat lmao" mod. Nashgore was too tame for me. Still is, to be honest, but that's just me. Nowadays it's only a viable solution if you like to keep things simple and don't mind the occasional performance drop.

The biggest problem with unpatched duke3d.exe is that only one mouse axis can be updated at the same time, causing erratic mouse behavior (only if using mouselook, as non-mouselook is horizontal axis only). The best way to fix this nowadays for DOS is not bMouse but BuildMouseFix 1.1 by CHEATER, it applies the fix to the executable directly and thus becomes portable. Another big issue in DOS Duke that's not yet fixed by fixes mentioned above, is that there is a certain threshold needed to get the mousecursor to move at all. You can notice this when moving the mouse slowly, in-game the mousecursor will not move at all until you reach more speed

No, Build is not duke3d.exe, but the mouse issue is prevalent in the “big three” Build games, so that’s probably what they mean

Quake's crosshair is just the plus sign from the console font file overlaid on the middle of the screen, and nothing in the game fires 100% accurately other than rockets and super nails, the former of which isn't a big deal if it's slightly off and the latter which fires so many rounds it doesn't matter.

You guys are missing the point.
Yes, vertical aiming is fucked in Duke, but since the game can be played without mouselook like Doom to a certain degree, it's not really a persistent problem.

What really ruins it is the suboptimal handling of even horizontal aiming. Since the player orientation is updated at a rather low tick rate, frame rates higher than this interpolate between updates, causing the sluggish feeling.
I believe Ken's Build ran at 40Hz, while Duke 3D ran even lower. Combined with the lack of Vsync and hard FPS caps, it's one big mess of bad input response times.

Do you think E2M9 can be called a proto-slaughtermap? It doesn't have much in the way of level design, it's mostly a pure fight against a sizable amount of demon meat. If Plutonia's MAP32 is a grandfather of slaughtermaps, E2M9 is like a neanderthal in that regard.

The stairs need to be less than half as wide; they look wider than the pillar itself. Add a fence around the skulls to make it look like that's how the skulls are contained. Add a second fence around the stairs to keep the player from falling off. Add fence posts for every stair or every 2nd or 3rd stair.

Slightly unrelated, but since you're already playing DOS, turn off the vertical mouse look and play the game with autoaim like people did when the game first game out. I still remember having to press Page Up to shoot at certain switches.
For example, check out this classic run. It's probably the comfiest Duke Nukem run on youtube:

Are there any tutorials on how to make textures for Doom, preferably from photos? I know how to make an image seamless, but by simply downsizing, palettizing and importing it into the game will just feel out of place, no matter what, even if the colors are right. The original Doom textures look like they are photos, renders and pixel art at the same time (even though it's proven that most of them are based on photos). In Raven's games, they are even more beautiful, like they are painted or something. What's the workflow behind them?

First you need to use a good downscaling algorithm. Bicubic sharper in PS is really nice. Then for the palettization, I suspect you'll get way better results if you try to limit and tweak the color range with some hue, saturation, contrast etc adjustment layers first, so everything is somewhat close to the target palette before it's crushed down.

Some won't agree, but I think Quake 2 is a good game, the first few hours are kind of slow, but it picks up. There's a lot of hitscanners, but their aim isn't perfect, it'll actually lag behind you, so a dude can just follow you with a salvo of machinegun fire as you strafe him, a lot of the weapons are pretty fun, too.
If I were to describe the game's style and aesthetics, I'd call it a blend of The Borg from Star-Trek going through their Industrial Metal phase, and the big guns and armor aesthetics of Mutant Chronicles, together with the kind of satisfying violence and gore that iD Software was masters of in the 90s.

It has its flaws (like no muzzleflash), but I think it has plenty of stength. John Romero declared it one of the best games he had ever played when it came out, and that's when he was having the pettiest and most bitter feuding with the iD Software he just left. For his childishness and bullheadedness, he couldn't lie about that.
The multiplayer was actually absolutely incredible, I was blown away by it back in the day, it's pretty much as good as Quake 1's multiplayer, maybe even a little bit better. The multiplayer is one of those things which people don't give Quake 2 any credit for today.

That said, with the frame of reference of Quake and its expansions fresh in your mind, throw yourself into Arcane Dimensions first, it's one of the best FPS experiences I've had in a very long time, maps range from Good to Fantastic, and everything looks stupidly gorgeous. I'd seriously so good I would have paid money for it, if it was a commercial product.

i never really buy into the "quake 2 bad" meme because not a lot of people try to think of how to "fix" the game or name its problems
like, yeah, it has some problems and stuff that makes it look inferior to quake 1 at times but not a lot that comes off as an actual disaster
whatever a better quake 2 would be, i doubt it would be that further away from most of what the game is

What are your favorite cheeky ways to fuck over demons in Doom?

Mine is sneaking up on an enemy that has his back turned to me, and cause another demon that does see me to start firing at me, thus angering the first guy and starting an in-fight. Bonus points if the first guy dies and I pick up his weapon by swooping in from behind.

It's super simple but it's just always so satisfying.

>"Uh just get good" says the leet mapper as he proceeds to fill each room with 30 or so chaingunners, pain elementals and archviles of the very first map.

Archviles are a fine enemy, but their placement is often abused to the point of detriment. Sure someone is going to find that challenge enjoyable, but then again people find enjoyment from all kinds of ridiculous difficult things like beating a game blindfolded. I might be exaggerating a bit to get the point across, but the "git gud" stance is only fine when the game is decently fair and exercises good balance, which isn't the case with the kind of maps that often employ cheap tactics.

If you find that kind of stuff enjoyable, then that's fine, but you should know what it is and not try to to present it as anything more than that.

It depends on your preference. Not everyone likes Doom games for the same reason. I simply prefer the progression and set-piece design of most Romero's D1 maps. In contrast I generally dislike the Doom 2 map design philosophies that became more wide spread in community projects. And before you claim nostalgia, I completed both Doom games somewhere around 2018.

Which wads do you consider to have surpassed Romero? Maybe I haven't played them yet.

>> No.6388227

What about them?

Honestly, if you're able to beat a mapset on UV, I think the next step is looking for harder mapsets. Making the enemies/projectiles faster on a mapset you already know is not really that big a step up. It's just an e-peen thing. Which is fine, UV -fast and NM are good shows for an audience. But if you're just playing on your lonesome I find it more interesting to just try to conquer other mapsets on standard UV that will offer new challenges instead of old ones with faster monsters.

It's true though. So you beat UV with faster monsters. Ok, cool. It's a good showmanship thing, but what are you (the player) getting out of it? Nothing new. It's the same old level you already know like the back of your hand, but with faster monsters. If someone's doing UV -fast runs of a mapset, chances are the mapset is no longer a challenge for their skill level, so they're showing off their skill to an audience. Which is totally fine. But it would probably be more interesting (both for them and a theoretical audience) to try a more challenging mapset

I make an exception for speedrunners that are doing challenges on the IWADs because if you're going to dedicate your time to completely deconstructing a series of maps, it might as well be the IWADs.

Who are you to say? Maybe you don't find it to be quite your thing, but perhaps many do enjoy the faster feel of a familiar map with crazy pinkies and deadly hitscanners? I get that many anons here have given -fast players a pretty bad name, but going ahead and saying everyone's doing it only for "e-peen" just because you personally don't find it particularly fun or challenging is ridiculous.

It sounds to me like you just prefer Doom 1's gameplay to Doom 2's. And that's fine. Not everyone likes the new monsters and the combinations they open up, or the SSG. What I would recommend then is to look for mapsets that are FOR the Ultimate Doom instead of mapsets that are for Doom 2.

Just for a taste of quality stuff for DoomU, go try out Shotgun Symphony, Double Impact, or No End In Sight. Sigil just doesn't hold a candle to those.

Nightmare difficulty feels like you're just grinding against the RNG for low damage rolls.

Recently I've seen some guy remaking Doom maps in Doom 3. Among few other examples, I recall someone recreating a map or two in Unreal Engine 3 and 4 or such. It happens with other older games too, like CS 1.6 for instance. Where you'd see something like de_dust remade in a modern game with same old visuals and maybe slightly better textures.

While this may be interesting for the novelty of it and to simply see how it looks in a different engine, it'll always stick out like a sore thumb in the end and look plain bad more often than not. I think what one should aim at is to preserve geometry and overall functionality found within the source map and see how it can play out in the context of the game it's being remade in. Try to keep the general outline and collision of the original, but adapt it to the host game's mechanics and gameplay. For example if a game has ladders you can use that instead of Doom's elevator. Graphically have it fit with the new visuals, but also try to preserve the old colors and general atmosphere.

Something that really pushed me towards this realization further, is a recent take on Doom's E1M3 in CS Global Offensive that someone posted here couple of threads ago. It's not perfect or complete, but it neatly deviates in the right ways.

I had this idea of remaking Quake's E1M1 in a different, more grounded setting. Something like the first tutorial secret being hidden in a trunk of an old car locked with some lock and chains that you'd have to shoot, just like the panel in Quake. With the car's back lights blinking periodically like the light in Quake. Maybe the platform you only reach by sprint-jumping could be some kind of a cliff, things like that.

Unfortunately this requires some amount of ingenuity and imagination which is harder than straight up porting, especially if there are tools which make this effortless. I don't blame people for taking the simpler route, but it'd be nice to see more of what I described above.

I think damage RNG values too much luck. An example: from a Revenant rocket you can either only suffer 10 damage and leave nearly unscathed after a bad play, or you can make good decisions all around but, but the one time you get hit you lose 80 hp. This luck-reliancy can either bring undeserved victory or frustration.

From the player's damage inputs, I don't think anyone ever found it fun to have an Imp survive a point-blank Shotgun to the face, or a Caco manage to survive two SSG shots from point-blank distance, or a Mancubus survive four instead of the usual three, etc...
This ESPECIALLY sucks in deathmatch.

Not to say all RNG is bad, but a lack of consistency in such parts can make for a game to value luck way too much, when skill should be the most valued factor.

(deleted my previous post because I wanted to add more to it)

>> No.6388739

At the time Build games did pretty well with what they had. Though limited, Duke still had locations that felt like a real place while Doom and Quake where a lot more abstract. However I don't think higher fidelity restrains good level design. For example, like some games do, you can completely separate the level collision from the models. With the latter only serving as decoration without obstructing movement. What some modern games do wrong is lean too much into realism where as a consequence the characters start to blend in with the environments.

The difference is probably the MIDI player. Crispy Doom doesn't come with a MIDI player aside from OPL and GUS emulators. Are you using VirtualMIDISynth for Crispy Doom? You can also use VMS in PrBoom by selecting PortMIDI in options. To change the soundfont of its FluidSynth you have to exit the game and open the config file

I mean..."walkthroughs" for Nightmare pistol starts aren't really walkthroughs. They're more like footage of a successful run. Even Peter would probably freely admit that he didn't just record those and win every first try. Nightmare pistol starts take grinding, and no human (other than ZeroMaster I guess) would be so accurate as to always do the exact same inputs at the same tick to get the exact same RNG every run.

>> No.6389279

>>6389221
I figured someone might suggest that app, but I'd rather not use a third part software for a modern port. Besides I can alt+enter to have it windowed and everything works fine. It's a minor nuisance but I just wish I could alt-tab normally like in any other non-zdoom based port where it works perfectly fine. Oddly enough this happens with both OpenGL and Vulkan, but not with SoftPoly. And I had this same behavior with an old graphics card and now with the new one.
>>6389226
What I mean is that when I alt-tab the image of the game stays overlayed on the screen, like some kind of a screenshot and I can't control the game until I blindly alt-tab back to it where it continues to work normally. Also I can see the mouse cursor changing in response to links if I have a web page open meaning that I have effectively alt-tabbed and can use my computer but the last image from the game stays layered over. Weird thing is that if I fiddle with alt-tabbing and pausing the game, sometimes it'll switch normally, but very rarely. It doesn't turn the screen black nor break desktop composition. I have Win7 64 and use the latest version of GZDoom 4.3.3 and don't have a dog.

>>6389308
No, but I did a complete clean up of old drivers as AMD has a specific tool for that that's on par with OS re-installation. Either way I don't have a problem like this with any other software, port or game, obviously it's something that ZDoom doesn't like about my system. Maybe I'll scour the older versions to see where it starts happening, as at this point it's plain curiosity since it's a minor bug.

That has nothing to do with script. What that guy wrote is some kind of weird macro thing that generates decorate from a syntax of it's own. Supposedly it's to make it easier to write, but I really have my doubts about that.

ZScript has deprecated decorate, but zandronum does not have it because A) it's netcode is incompatible with the zscript VM and B) zandronum development is mostly dead since a few years

So are Revenant homing fireballs supposed to be super inconsistent or not? Sometimes it feels like one shot does like 90 health and other times it feels like a slight slap. Also sometimes they home in so well I have to run around for ages before it hits something and other times they barely curve at all. I don't remember them being a huge issue when I first played Doom2 many many years ago.
