Would anyone be interested in a wad file with 35 MIDI's that could be categorized as cheesy/memey and/or just plain good?

I had the intention of making a WAD I could load after a mapset in case I didn't want to listen to its own music (maybe because it used Doom2's stock, or because I didn't ilke its own). Then I started vaccuming up MIDIs from various sources and started making a folder of the stuff.

The selections or their order have had little to no thought put into them, the general criteria for getting in was that they either put a smile on my face or were just plain cool to listen to in MIDI form.

Hey, I caught you at this odd hour
I got a question for you if you don't mind answering

>Doomreal implements weapons from the beta builds of Unreal, like the old automag and the stunner, along with your own handiwork with retexturing and reanimating barebones models like the flamethrower. These are implemented very well, and I’m wondering if there’s a mod for the actual Unreal/UT that adds them in the same way, and if not, how much effort it would take for me to do so.

>> No.6479765

>>6479764
I have tried backporting them myself, but the process reminded me of why I stopped modding those games.

In terms of effort needed: a lot, especially if you want them to work in multiplayer, because you have to roll out your own netcode.

The closest thing to this stuff being reimplemented would be whatever's in Unreal PSX (though I have to admit Leo and friends are severely incompetent in how they did it).

I read here that Duke Nukem 3D's episode two is the weakest of the four. I also didn't remember it fondly from playing it a long time ago, both in the 90's and maybe 10 years ago on an Xbox console port, except for a few sections like looking out the windows into outer space. I even relatively recently replayed episodes one, three, and four first, and put off playing E2 for months, but I'm pistol-starting no-saves all the episode 2 maps on Come Get Some, and it's actually incredibly strong. I think it might be one of my favorites, but I'd have to replay them all to give a definitive answer. One of the reasons it's so good is the amazing Bobby Prince music. I'm playing on EDuke32 with the digital music packs
> http://sc55.duke4.net/games.php
I think I used to hate it because of the enforcers and sentry drones, but I've gotten a lot better by doing pistol-start no-saves UV-Max runs of Doom levels and episodes, and enforcers and sentries both can be two-shotted by the shotgun, and you can even kill sentry drones easily by alerting them and standing behind a closed door. The game's also just way funner with pistol starts and no saves. Anyway, thanks for reading my blog. What are some good Duke custom maps?

They Colleagues are boss type enemies with half the health of a cyberdemon but keeping the splash damage immunity, sized like a baron, has a melee attack that is the same as the revenant with half of the random factor and A shoulder mounted rocket launcher that will mostly use to make you reachable for him to punch you with, i've also added cvar to like make him use the rocket launcher on you regardless if you think that a melee only boss for you is not a good idea.

Hi, anons. How's your weekend?

New to /vr/ but not to 4ch... lurked, and occasionally posted, on and off for more years than I care to count. Yes, I'm an oldfag - used to play shareware Doom in the school computer room at lunchtime, though I didn't get a PC of my own until a few years later. First game I bought? Half-Life. I remember magazine-cover CDs, and shovelware ones, full of maps.

Which is kind of what brings me here - I had a fit of nostalgia and searched for Doom gameplay videos. Found what I was looking for, as well as a ton of stuff on maps, mods, related games... even Quake, which passed me by back in the day, and some modern releases like Wrath and Ion Fury, which both look hugely exciting.

So, three questions...
- what source ports would you recommend for Doom or Quake, or should I hit Steam/GOG?
- what are the essential mods or maps? and,
- where do I even begin? (Not technically, I've seen the setup guides. Just general opinions or pointers.)

Slowly working my way through the OP links with some Trent Reznor tracks in the background, and still trying to decide if Doom 2016 is worth a punt. (Doom 3 wasn't, IMHO, and Brutal Doom is just... I dunno, technically ambitious but odd. At least it's not Gearbox's Colonial Marines, right?)

Also... how accessible is it to get into map/modmaking? Always fancied it, but never tried. Life's too short to regret what I didn't do, especially in lockdown...

>> No.6479915

>>6479894
>- what source ports would you recommend for Doom
If you want authentic 1993 experience, get Chocolate Doom.
If you want some more modern amenities, get prBoom+, it also supports more community maps.
If you're looking into full-blown mod support, then GZDoom.
>what are the essential mods or maps?
That's like saying "I am getting into food, what are some essential dishes to try?" There's shitton of stuff, ranging from simple utilities such as enemy health bars, to actual full-blown games such as Adventures of Square. For maps, I can personally recommend Epic 1/2, Scythe 2, Back to Saturn X, UAC Ultra. As for gameplay mods, Final Doomer can be a good place to start.
>how accessible is it to get into map/modmaking
Map making - it is pretty easy to learn how to use editor, the problem is how to make a good map out of it. You need to have a good understanding of the gameplay and mechanics at very least.
Modding - again, making a simple mod is not that hard (aside from art, art is hard and time-consuming), but the problem is that the market is over-saturated, you need to get really creative to stand out from masses.

>>6479894
>- what source ports would you recommend for Doom or Quake, or should I hit Steam/GOG?
The OP post has MEGA links for both Doom and Quake's game files, along with a good amount of other shooters.
As for source ports:
Chocolate Doom is the original game(s), basically exactly how it was in 1993(4). The only changes are that you don't need to fiddle with DOSBox for setup.
PrBoom+ is an enhanced version of the engine, developed by guys who made commercial addons in the 90s. Most maps out there require this port for its features.
G/ZDoom is the port that has all the fancy mods.

For Quake, Quakespasm is the most popular port. If you want/need Vulkan rendering, vkquake is just Quakespasm with Vulkan.
ezQuake for if you want multiplayer.

>- what are the essential mods or maps?
This image is also included in the MEGA links. I don't know how recently it's been updated, but it's a good start.

>- where do I even begin?
Most active places for fan stuff are Doomworld and ZDoom Forums. There's threads and subforums dedicated to new releases and WIPs. You probably don't want to interact with any regulars there though, outside of tech help.

>Also... how accessible is it to get into map/modmaking?
Piss easy, all you need is Doom Builder X or Ultimate Doom Builder for maps. For mods, you want SLADE. But that's accessibility, making something outstanding is something else.

>> No.6479948

>>6479935
>You probably don't want to interact with any regulars there though, outside of tech help.
Yeah, that's why I decided to ask the friendly neighbourhood anon brigade - forums are weird places and I want to have fun, not be attacked by a swarm of rabid fanboys.

Definitely want to avoid DOSBox, I'm not in the least bit technical. (Seriously. I've heard of direct X and Open GL, but I couldn't tell you what they are or do, or how they're different to Vulkan.) I'll keep working through the OP stuff and give those ports a go... Chocolate Doom first and work my way up.

(As for maps and mods... plenty of tempting videos on YouTube. Modern mappers can blow the socks off id's stuff, IMO. I'll just dive in and pig out... got nothing but time right now!)

TYVM, anons. This is why I like the bluer and less-toxic bits of 4ch.

There was a very good reason why during the whole maidan shebang and crimea shitshow most refugees were fleeing TO Russia, not to other countries. But I guess west would rather have nazis at the head of their puppet state and have allied military bases closer to Russian borders than acknowledge the truth.

Damn dude, saw your map progress on here and was trying to bring some attention to your cool mini episode cause I enjoyed my first playthrough.

I wouldn't really count a joint sprite edit as an artistic vision (though I did like that detail as I smoke far too many joints) ... unless you mean the texture pack itself, not a fan of most HD tex myself, but this one looks pretty good with most wads and is not too demanding performance wise. I try to help get new players interested in the possibilities of modding by including stuff like that while explaining that it is 100% optional, same reason I encourage them to use shortcuts instead of a launcher, so they can take their first step towards modding.

The music is from Eternal, personally I like Mick Gordon. I don't really care for midis all that much and I add the music when editing, I do this to avoid reusing some tunes, some YT copyright BS, & often what is included with a wad is less than desirable (cause I hate looping tracks).

Breaking BD compatibility is pretty lame though. I get that most of you in this thread are purists with some weird fetishes an have no issue with that as I'm a pretty odd fellow myself, but this attitude about people needing to play how you play is weak sauce. Modding is about playing how you want, not how some random online wants and doing what other people want is for whores, I play what/how/when I want and tell anyone that doesn't like it to check out the millions of other channels. When you upload as much footage as I do you realize that there will always be someone bitching no matter what. Yeah, I like BD as it adds an extra layer of feedback, melee options, & difficulty. I have plenty of other videos/mods, but BD is fun, I don't get the argument about it breaking maps as I've played countless and it works pretty well on most, or people talking shit about breaking a map because of jumping/crouching, that's silly; just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to ...

Its funny, I started reading this thread more often because of all the fart sniffing on DW and other forums, yet I see a lot of the same purist ideals displayed here pretty often. People should be encouraged to mash mods together even if it breaks the mod/map, thats how you learn; trial an error. You guys rag on BD and GZDoom so much, it makes me wonder why you talk about things you don't like so often. Obviously its 4chan and criticism is generally a good thing, but it seems like wasted energy.

I've mapped and modded for decades now, I post most of that anonymously after I got fed up with backwards ass communities and circle-jerking, I also beta test any mod/map that needs feedback such as the recent Aliens: Eradication mod. So yeah, I don't mind someone throwing me a few bucks for my efforts, and for the last year I've mostly been posting gameplay & beta testing after I was in an accident involving a massive wild boar coming into my house, she was really hungry ... no, not for dick.

I am the last person to call myself a purist, I constantly playing WADs with gameplay mods during first playthrough. But problem is not a purism, I wouldn't mind someone playing it with FD or even an HDoom, problem is that BD is an obnoxious piece of trash. I specifically checked the video from last level, and of course it roke the boss encounter. So yes, I have problem with it.

Ah, I played most of the wad on vanilla then with BD so didn't notice that however I was wondering why there were a few extra enemies before the player sucide. On my first BD run of that section the Cyber killed both Arachnotrons right away (once I stood next to each for a sec) and he died even faster, I find that pretty minor although I have no idea why they wouldn't work as intended, in my experience Viles just work in BD, might have to go back and test that to see why they were not alerted. While I did enjoy your wad the end felt a little too aggressive when compared to the previous maps.

>what source ports would you recommend for Doom or Quake
For just vanilla Doom, go for Crispy Doom or PrBoom+, for advanced mods and various advanced graphics options, GzDoom is what you have. If your computer struggles with GzDoom's graphics, there also exists LzDoom.

For Quake, go for Quakespasm or Quakespasm Spiked.

>should I hit Steam/GOG?
No.

>what are the essential mods or maps?
For mods, there's so much to talk about that I wouldn't even know where to begin, it'll depend on what you like. If you ever wanted to play a complex tactical shooter with supernatural demons and magic, there's Hideous Destructor, if you really like old arcade games there's GMOTA.

For maps, Doom has a bunch of expansions such as Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Sigil, No Rest For The Living, give these a shake. There's also big-name megawads like Alien Vendetta, Doom 2 The Way Id Did It, and Back To Saturn X, which barely scratches the surface.

For Quake, it has expansions too, Scourge Of Armagon, Dissolution Of Eternity, and the quasi-official Dimensions Of The Past. Its most famous map pack these days would be Arcane Dimensions.

It's fairly simple to get into, and though the skill ceiling can be pretty high, if you really learn why you enjoy playing the levels and what the monsters do, you can with some effort make something decent. Boom format would be an easy place to start mapping, as gameplay is all basically Vanilla, and it moves away slightly from some of the esoteric limitations which aren't immediately obvious with Vanilla.

A good newbie project would be to think about some of your favorite maps in the original Doom and Doom 2, then make two or three maps which take partial inspiration from them (encounters and aesthetics that you like), mix and match it, and then aim for a visual theme for each of them.

just download the source ports and play them all and see which ones you like best. fucking nigger.
crispy doom for vanilla-compatible and limit-removing maps
prboom+ and glboom+ for boom-compatible maps
gzdoom for zdoom maps.
there are also some niche source ports, like chocolate doom and doom retro. chocolate doom is what crispy doom is based from, it's basically the original doom.exe. doom retro is an attempt to make a boom-compatible crispy doom, but it lacks a lot of the quality-of-life features that make crispy doom so good.
prboom and glboom are the same game/engine but glboom uses hardware rendering/opengl lighting, which looks terrible on maps designed with software rendering in mind, like doom 1 for example, but looks WAY better on some boom-compatible maps, like hell ground or preacher.wad
>>6480156
do NOT play doom games with vertical mouse look nor crosshairs. you will thank me later.
>>6480189
use standard light mode. you should only be using gzdoom for zdoom-compatible maps anyway. you shouldn't need to try to "re-create" the vanilla-look in gzdoom using hardware rendering because you should already be playing in crispy doom or prboom for maps that were designed with software rendering in mind.
>>6480273
dark places is also a quake source port worth trying out. quakespasm will let you run custom maps, whereas custom maps tend to break in dark places, but i still prefer dark places for the original quake 1 game, simply because i like the new (optional) spherical blast radius explosion look thingy.

mechanically, it has some bugs like items not appearing where they should, polygons flickering, broken lightmaps, broken fog, broken external textures, etc. usually the bug is solved by some cvar or in a specific version, but it's still a pain for both users and mappers
that leads to a mess of versions where the most stable is apparently some in-between version that you can't even download from its homepage and what's available are 6-yrs old "stable" obsolete version and 2018 "nightly" build with a bunch of stuff broken

My argument for not using crosshairs in Doom has less to do with keeping it vanilla and more to do with it simply looks infinitely better and makes you a better player. Relying on crosshairs for Doom of all games makes you a shitty player. Douk came with a crosshair turned on by default but I disable it anyway since I already use no-vertical-mouse-look and autoaim, since that's how it was originally played, and how I originally played it in the 1990's.
>inb4 autoaim is for noobs
For Doom it's a must because not using autoaim breaks most encounters, like letting you specifically target a cacodemon behind other monsters, or letting you snipe enemies that are behind autoaim range, or letting you shoot down elevators and lifts, not to mention fucking rocket jumping. For Douk, it's just how I remember the game. I haven't gotten around to playing Quake yet but I will either play it with no-free-look and autoaim (it originally came with freelook disabled according to what I read, though I do not remember ever playing it like that), or I will play it with freelook and no crosshair, though I know this will mean the game will be significantly harder. I already play pistol starts and no saves, and I usually complete a level multiple times, starting on an easier difficulty and working my way up to a 100% run on hard difficulty unless I know the level is easy, so I will take this same approach when I do shotgun-starts no-saves runs of Quake 1 levels.

Basically you will be surprised how much better the game looks without crosshairs. You don't realize how much time you spent looking at it until it's gone

>> No.6480940

>>6480775
You want generally want to beat each level with pistol-starts and no saves! Yes, there are exceptions, like a casual first-playthrough where you only save at the start of each level, or when you're stuck on an extremely difficult level that you've been stuck on for days, trying to beat it pistol-starting with no saves, in which case, sure, savescum and be done with it. But generally, you want to play each individual level with a pistol start, and never saving the game once. Once you move on to difficult map sets, you will need to play each level on skill 2 (easy) or skill 1 even (very easy), and maybe after you beat a level, you will want to replay it again on a harder difficulty before moving on, or maybe you will not want to stop the flow and will want to just keep beating levels. Whatever, as long as it's pistol starts and no saves.

As step one, I recommend you play the first three episodes of Doom 1 on Ultra-Violence difficulty. The video game is very old and came out before FPS games were really a thing, so it's hard difficulty is easy by today's standards. You can do pistol-starts, or do a continuous playthrough, it doesn't matter at this point, as long as you're only saving the game at the start of each level.

>> No.6480947

>>6480775
After Doom 1, play either Base Ganymede, or Scythe. The first two episodes of Scythe are relatively easy compared to episode three, which will fuck you in the ass as a new player. Don't be fooled by how easy Scythe 1 starts off; the ending levels are virtually impossible for new players to beat without using saves. Play Scythe episode 1 on skill 4, Ultra-Violence (hard difficulty). If you get to the start of episode 2, map 11, and you can't get past the starting section because you don't know how to punch-out revenants, then turn the difficulty down to skill 3. Otherwise, learn how to punch-out demons with the berserk pack. It will take a lot of practice at first but after a while punching out revenants becomes fairly easy - see this video
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJcf0aOwmiA

Another good beginner-level PWAD is Base Ganymede. I'm actually going through and playing it now because I want to play through the PWADs on this list in order:
> https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/107015-wad-progression-for-skill-improvement/
For your first play-through, you might want to do a continuous playthrough for this one as well, instead of using pistol starts. And there are some very difficult encounters for new players that you might want to save before, like a close-range cyberdemon fight that might be beyond your capabilities as a beginner, but other than that, play it on Ultra-Violence while only saving at the start of each level, it at all.

And finally, use a program called Doom Launcher. It looks like pic related. I like this because it keeps track of your play time and progress and any mods you use. Speaking of mods, here's some mods that do not chance the gameplay in any way, but add in some hi-res sound effects, and extra weapon animation frames to make the chaingun look like its spinning for example
> https://pastebin.com/ahQKcKY8

I recommend you do not download tons of PWADs at once. But if you must, keep them separate. Do not dump all of your downloads at once into Doom Launcher, just play one PWAD at a time.

Some PWAD downloads come with a bunch of extra files like .bat files, so I recommend you just click-and-drag the actual .wad file into Doom Launcher, instead of the .zip file containing the WAD.

Right-click the PWAD in Doom Launcher, edit, and copy-paste the .txt file that came with the download into the description.

Sorry to bother you anon, but would you mind looking this over and see what you think?
https://pastebin.com/W0fLEbz3

It's basically an extension of that WAD skill progression thread you linked, with some added WADs and some tweaks here and there (Sunder's new update easily bumps it up a difficulty tier). I also added, well, tiers instead of a linear progression. Sometimes the lines are blurry on what wad is harder than another, so the idea was to roughly put WADs into difficulty boxes, with Plutonia pistolstart/nosaves being the milestone to get out of the Entry-level stuff.

>>6480775
I don't know why anons would recommend Dark Places, you should definitely be using Quakespasm. Dark Places is heavily modified. Besides, Arcane Dimensions will not run in Dark Places.

Also, "Boom" is basically an extension of the Doom engine. Just for your information, there's several tiers of compatibility when it comes to Doom maps.

>Vanilla
You can play vanilla maps on the original DOOM.EXE and DOOM2.EXE. No ifs or buts, it'll just werk with nothing else. Of course, this means it'll work on any sourceport too.
>Limit-removing
You can play limit-removing maps on source ports that remove limitations from the original engine but leave things otherwise the same. Probably the most popular of these is Crispy Doom. Crispy will allow you to play anything vanilla or limit-removing.
>Boom-compatibility
You can play boom-compatible maps on source ports that are, well, Boom compatible. The go-to for this that everyone uses is PRBoom+ (also called GLBoom+ due to being compiled with openGL support if you want to use it). PR/GLBoom+ will allow you to play anythin vanilla, limit-removing, or Boom-compatible
>MBF compatibilty
Very rare breed, basically an extension of the Boom format. PR/GLBoom+ also supports MBF. So anything vanilla, limit-removing, Boom-compatible, or MBF-compatible, it will run.
>ZDoom compatibility
This is where we start to run into problems. More on that later.

Continuing:

ZDoom and its descendant GZDoom are heavily modified sourceports, and as such you should only really be using them if you're going to play with gameplay mods, or if you don't care about experiencing the game with all its quirks included. These ports are not accurate and do not support demo playback from other source ports. Again, if you don't care about any of that, or if you're using gameplay mods, GZDoom is the way to go. Some maps require GZDoom for one reason or another, and if they do, say goodbye to any prospects of playing them on any accurate source ports.

I actually have not played very many PWADs myself, which is part of the reason I am playing through that list, and why I'm only on Base Ganymede! I would just say skip Fava Beans. It's important historically, but it's actually far worse than Doom 1, despite what its author says. You just end up getting lost a lot and wasting tons of time on a mediocre (by today's standards) PWAD that could be spent on something actually fun like Scythe 1, which I just replayed recently and is still funner than PWADs that came out ten and (almost) twenty years after it. It and Preacher.wad are my two favorites, but Scythe has SO much more playtime because it's a 32-level megawad as opposed to a 7-level PWAD, even though Scythe's levels are on average maybe half as long. As good as Preacher looks and plays in GLBoom+, it just feels great playing Scythe in Crispy Doom. Preacher is still my fav just to be clear though

Also Adventures of Square is really fun. I like to play it with no freelook and with autoaim. Lunatic is also a very fun and very short PWAD. Hell Ground used to be my favorite but I played it once like six years ago and quit Doom shortly after so I can't give a definite opinion. Then ofc there's Eviternity and Going Down but I'd still say I had more fun with Scythe and Preacher

I'll check out your progression of WADs too, and really appreciate the clear explainer on Doom ports.ZDoom, based on what you've said, won't be high up my list. Crispy and Boom will!

Incidentally, I see "limit removing" mentioned a lot on Quaddicted map pages, as well as "BSP2". I'm hoping Quakespasm ticks both of those boxes - I'm not familiar with said limits but I'd imagine today's hardware is so much more powerful than 199x that the maps can be bigger and more intricate than the original engines could handle.

>For Doom it's a must because not using autoaim breaks most encounters
It makes an appreciable difference in a few encounters, but the first game has low enough of a monster count and little enough verticality that you're seldom going to find yourself in a situation where it'll make any real difference.

I don't care for auto-aim in any FPS at all, I tolerate it for vanilla Doom (since you can't aim vertically), but it feels uncomfortable for anything else. I turn it off when playing Goldeneye and I feel I play the game much better that way (though some people say I'm making the game harder for myself).

I can't say that I have that problem at all, I don't find myself focusing intensely on the crosshair alone (which really is a very small dot in my case, pic related, it's smaller than the pixels on the texture in this shot), I can take in the entire picture and still admire the aesthetics and graphics just fine.

Play it with freelook, no autoaim, and crosshair enabled. Freelook was originally bound to a key but most people just stuck +freelook in their autoexec to use it all the time; you can even clearly see Romero aiming, strafing, and shooting all together in the game's own attract demos.

Play Quake on hard, and remember that while shotgun starts are possible for 3/4 episodes, there's no real reason to do so. Dying in Quake doesn't wipe out your whole arsenal like it does in Doom, your loadout is saved at the start of each map.

It does, the majority of modern Q1SP maps are developed and tested with Quakespasm as the goal engine. QS's default protocol supports expanded limits for entities (which is usually what 'limit removing' means), and the engine also supports the expanded map size protocol that some xbox-hueg maps require.

What the fuck? I'm using Linux Mint, which is not really built for gaming, but what the fuck.

This also happens when I run versions of DOSBox other than dosbox-staging. Some Steam games, like the Linux version of Harvester, come packaged with DOSBox for Linux, and when I ran Harvester after installing it, it fucking mirrored my monitors and fucked my screen resolution just like Zandronum does. I had to replace the included DOSBox executable with a link to the dosbox-staging one I installed earlier, and then it fullscreens normally. I figured this was just one of the many DOSBox bugs which dosbox-staging fixes, but I didn't think I'd see it happen with a DOOM source port as well.

Anon. I love Blood but it really does have a difficulty curve that goes from 0 to 12 in a heartbeat. If a fight doesn't have a cultist in it, you're either fighting creepy little crawlies, zombies, or gargoyles, and they're all pretty easy to manage.
It's the cultists that make the fights actually engaging, and you can't really dodge hitscan fire, you crouch and take cover, but come on now, you can't sidestep the code saying "Alright you're taking damage now, fuckboy."
The real trick is to kill the fuckers with dynamite before they shoot you, or stunlock them with the tommy gun.

I think both episode 1 and episode 2 are great, but episode 2 had some filler material. I don't like episode 3's uninspired and short city levels, the only exceptions are LA Rumble and Freeway. Episode 4 is a rollercoaster, it doesn't have an actual style. I like It's Impossible, Duke Burger, Going Postal and Derelict, but I don't like other levels.

I think in general, Allen H Blum III was the best mapper, his maps had that """"thing"""" in them what separated the decent from the great. The others had their moments (I love Abyss and LA Rumble from Levelord), but they weren't consistent enough.

I didn't even play it when I was a kid (in fact I was born the same year Doom 2 came out), I got into it in my 20's. But I really can't imagine going back to a time when I didn't play Doom now. It just feels like it's become a huge chunk of my vidya interest. Playing through megawads vanilla on GLBoom/Crispy, messing around with some gameplay mods here and there in GZDoom, it's just a hoot.

MAP26 (that one you're on) is actually pretty easy for a slaughtermap. It's very generous with mega/invuln and ammo. It's only mildly annoying if you're going for 100% kills because of having to grind down those cyberdemons even with BFG hugging.

MAP30 is not unplayable, I don't know what you're talking about. Also, are you on GZDoom? Because something you might like to know is that it does RNG differently. In many ways I feel like GZDoom RNG treats me way worse than the original Carmack RNG table but that might just be me being superstitious.

It didn't have the registered monsters though. Just that big alley where the sloped windows are opened, the red room after it, and the Battlelord was found in the giant room after that.

GZDoom in UDMF is so complex, that it is far better suited for veteran mappers who know what they're doing, and have the time and patience to actually make valuable use out of its unique features. The community also generally treats GZDoom required maps with much higher standards, which may turn off new mappers after they make a release.
Doom and Boom formats are simply far easier to understand for new players. And even many veterans still prefer using them, as its overall faster to work with, and allows for more source port compatibility anyway.

That's exactly how I feel, and I played Doom before you were born... though admittedly not since. It's been good to get back to it, and to try Quake for the first time ever. (I may try Doom 2 soon, though Quake 2 doesn't seem to be widely liked.)

Sometimes I miss the pre-internet - well, pre-domestic internet - era. Not going to blogpost on it, but booting up the old Doom shareware in Chocolate remided me how much fun could be had with affordable games, and how much great stuff was made by hobbyists. All the fun of trading with and writing to game makers, and getting interesting games for a couple of quid by mail order (I think my most-played Amiga game was probably Tobias Richter's Star Trek).

So... not wanting to fill my boots with every retro FPS going, but Doom is "the iconic one" that everyone remembers and has played. What about its contemporaries? Lots of mentions of Duke Nukem above - is it worth a shot?

Duke Nukem is must-play material. Download the game files from this link in the OP
> https://mega.nz/folder/QXIk1bjB#NHRWGIfjcc77PyGgRlga4Q/folder/RC4SSC5I
Download the newest version of EDuke32. Then download the FLAC music pack
> sc55.duke4.net/games.php
Put the game files in the EDuke32 folder. Put the .zip file of the FLAC music pack in a new folder called "autoload" in the EDuke folder. Enable autoload folder when you open EDuke. For your first playthrough, do a continuous playthrough on Come Get Some difficulty (monsters respawn on Damn I'm Good), but only save once at the start of each level. Bobby Prince's music makes the game bad-fuckin'-ass like it does for Doom.

Is Strife worth completing? I'm in the power plant right now and I'm getting mixed messaging from the game and it's rudimentary systems.
The woman on comms says to do things stealthily, but that means only knife use, even though the crossbow is pretty silent. The second you shoot something the alarms go off, yet you can murder someone with melee with little to no consequences. The knife does such measly damage that you're almost forced to take damage from enemies and your medkits seem to be on auto use so they're easily drained. And finally, the game seems to forced you out of a stealth state instantly when you cross thresholds within the environment, yet, from what I've observed, there is no way to turn off alarms or diminish area hostility.

You really don't have to, unless you're maybe trying to kill someone in town or something. You can brute force your way through most things in the game.

>but that means only knife use
>even though the crossbow is pretty silent
The crossbow is not silent unless you're using poison bolts, poison bolts are instakill on acolytes and peasants, and worthless against robots.

>The second you shoot something the alarms go off, yet you can murder someone with melee with little to no consequences.
Yeah, the stealth mechanics are very halfbaked.

>The knife does such measly damage that you're almost forced to take damage from enemies and your medkits seem to be on auto use so they're easily drained.
The punchdagger gets better with the game as you get more stamina implants (health), it's like a slow buildup for a permanent berserk pack.

>And finally, the game seems to forced you out of a stealth state instantly when you cross thresholds within the environment, yet, from what I've observed, there is no way to turn off alarms or diminish area hostility.
Yeah, that's just the way it is. As said, the stealth is half baked, remember to make some saves here and there, and avoid making trouble in town.

i love Q2, Multiplayer back then was the tits and full of campy fun, mainly with mods, i even have an old hardware magazine cd here with a few addons and skins from that time.
i met some good people playing HL and later on the early CS builds with "headshot people by shooting their feet"
also the short rivalry inbetween Battlezone 98 and later on Q3A with 2:combat commander was neat.
Those were the good times, and sadly they are gone.

Also, I get the feeling that anti HL nigger is possibly a underage who met this board yesterday and possibly watches garbage youtubers like indigo gaming, Hboomerguy, zaric, spoony and so on, or has a RPGcodex account, and belives on the "if he said its shit then its shit and i shall meme hate too to be cool", which happens mostly on the containment board that is /v/.

Q2 has more physics and control than Q3A
Q2MP ends up being good because of it and the movement is more fluid, also you have sidestep ledge jumping.
Q3A is great but the movement isn't that fluid, and the lack of good physics doesn't help either.
I feel that Q3A was more of Timmy's kid than Carmack and the rest of the team.

fortunately mods brings that back, but Vanilla Q3 physics feels like a downgrade compared to Q1 and Q2.

are you the kind of person that jumps on people when they don't preface what they say with "in my opinion"? obviously anything "wrong" with the game would be opinion-based, aside from purely technical aspects
but if you want to quantify, the levels are predictable and bland as compared to Q1, Unreal, HL1, Duke3D, Blood, etc, etc. why do I even have to spell it out? are you gonna pretend you honestly disagree?
admittedly hard to do the same with movement, since obviously I wouldn't give enough of a fuck to stick with it for more than the length of the game. but it was a sharp contrast to Q1, not some subtle difference

No, but I see what your issue is, you treat Quake 1 (although you have listed others) as something special enough to be used as standard of quality when it isn't. You are trying to compare it against something instead of sitting, playing the game without thinking about other games, which impairs your ability to objectively point out issues in the game. You would have stuck with something more obvious like "unresponsive guns" and stayed quiet about the movement since it is actually fun despite being slower than Quake 1. The projectiles trajectories are also an issue, they aren't aligned with the crosshair despite it being centered.

But I beg to differ. Sigil looks beautiful. I just keep marveling the eyecandies of M6, one of the best looking levels I have ever seen. That first half in the dark hallway was just, something else. Not to mention the Minotaur maze. M2, M4 and M5 also look great!

Modern FPS's try way too hard to be realistic in their actual gameplay elements even when the content of the game itself is unrealistic.
Sluggish movement speeds with very limited/no room for techniques that allow you to go meaningfully faster than the default, overuse of cinematic events that take control away from you and breaks your flow with the gameplay, and imbalanced weapon rosters that consist of nearly all uninspired "military-style" hitscan guns that have unsatisfying feedback when you hit an enemy. This isn't even mentioning all the extraneous garbage like abilities, cooldowns, stamina bars, etc.

... which, funnily, is pretty close to my opinion, and also to a couple of videos I've watched on "why Doom 3 failed, and how Doom 2016 recaptured the spirit of '93" type topics.

I'm with you, anon. Doom and Quake (as just 2 examples) are frenetic fun that don't worry about suppressors or scopes or alt-fire or realism... they have a weapons roster, an enemy roster, and aim to keep you moving in relatively open spaces. Sure, there are secrets and switch puzzles, but nothing as bad as the grindy goals in some games. No complex abilities or cooldowns, and no real reloading. Just speed and flow, ammo, armour and health.

I'm sure there's a place for the realistic ones, though. Just not for me!

Also... yeah, I never got the hang of the modern controllers. Mouse and keyboard all the way, or just pure keyboard for classic Doom.

>>6483563

>what do you like about retro FPSs, and what do you think they do better than more modern games?
I like the fast-paced gameplay and non-linear level design. I feel like modern FPSes focus too much on storytelling and can be lacking in terms of challenge (First time I saw regenerating health was in GoldenEye: Rogue Agent and I thought it was weird as hell). You also get more movement options in older FPSes while in newer ones it feels like you're glued to the ground most of the time.

I also agree with pretty much everything >>6483562 said.

I dunno if you guys ever heard of a genre of music called dungeon synth, but it has become my go-to Doom music for when I get tired of listening to the same MIDI over and over when grinding pistol-starts no-saves. Sometimes I'll listen to thrash metal like Metallica's first three albums, or death metal like Nile (Black Seeds of Vengeance is good Dooming music for Hell levels), or black metal like Darkthrone, but a lot of the time I find metal is too distracting. Filmmaker used to be my go-to Doom music, especially when grinding Nightmare demos

but there's only so many times you can listen to the same discography over and over. Which brings me to dungeon synth, a genre I randomly discovered from youtube one day.

Here is what I'm listening to now
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDbJyRut2_0
Varg Vikernes recorded this while in prison and the only instrument he had access to was a synthesizer. I doubt he intentionally set out to create "dungeon synth," he was probably just making music with the only tools he had. I used to think this music was just ambient until I discovered this youtube channel. You can also find tons of dungeon synth on that channel.

I know virtually nothing about this kind of music but here's the first artist in this genre whose name I remembered because I thought his music was good

Some textures were from resource libraries, some textures were drawn by hand on paper with pencil, then scanned in and post processed. Some textures were made out of physical items they had lying around. The big skull there was probably drawn by hand on paper or drawn by hand on computer, by either Kevin or Adrian. You can see the skull itself being repurposed in one of the Quake mission packs.

As for what it is in Doom, desu I almost get the feeling that it's just a stone sculpture or bas relief, because the shading on it makes it look like it wouldn't necessarily have too much volume to it.

He was just stating the fact. They had trouble publishing some of their early titles because of a gore, TTRPG industry went through a witch hunt just a few years ago, vidya industry was already buzzing about it, and Doom was already violent enough for its age, I don't think they would've been able to squeeze a better gore out of their tech (quantity over quality, of course).

My favourite line in the whole thing (though it's a great read and if John thinks a WAD or mod is cool then it's got to be all right, even if he isn't the be-all and end-all of Doom) is this:

>SC: What advice would you give fellow DOOM enthusiasts just getting into level creation for the first time?
>JR: Just start making levels. Start tonight. It’s not hard and there’s no reason to wait. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll get better.

It's quite a cool and supportive attitude - from what I've seen and read of him, though, he seems like a really nice and down-to-earth guy. And I think I'll take his advice.

Still on the fence about Brutal though... it doesn't look like something that massively enthuses me, but hey - something for everyone. May give it a go. If someone enjoys it, good for them; if not, then "no harm, no foul", as they say. (Funny to think that, as >>6485453 and >>6485414 suggest, gore might have been a problem - but on one hand, Mortal Kombat got a bad rep for it. On the other, illustrations in 90s games like Elvira or Waxworks were gruesomely anatomical...)

Do I really need to forward that entire port range for any reason? Or would just forwarding port 10666 work if I select port 10666 when starting the server?

I attempted to forward the whole port range in my Verizon router's firewall settings (attached image, top); I guess I did it correctly. I didn't use the advanced settings; I just used basic settings, set protocol to "Both" and gave "10666-10700" in the port field.

I also added a rule to my operating system's firewall (attached image, bottom); it didn't seem to work the first time I tried it, so I ended up starting a server and then creating a rule from the zandronum-server entry in the firewall's listening report. My server was using port 10666 so that's what's in the firewall rule now. At this point, I was able to join my own server, but I haven't tried getting anyone else to join.
