Which link have Quake music in mp3?
Or does anyone know a good ogg to mp3 converter on android?

Why is freedoom so ugly?

>>6502765
Anything FOSS related is usually ugly. Usually because artists that are worth a damn aren't keen on making assets for free.

>>6502765
Jim will have more incentive to draw furry porn for money than making sprites that immediately go into the public domain.

Well looks like we'll be playing doom 2 but I want to get a few more votes so make sure you vote!
https://www.strawpoll.me/20283871/r
Next saturday i'll be streaming an 8 tourne of /vr/ fags going head to head in a 1 v 1.
I'll give it a few more hours till I basically call the vote off and run with it. Thinking of making a temporary discord server for the game and disbanding it once it done.
An anon stated that maybe I should do it ealier so i'm thinking maybe 6-9 pm CDT. Really would like to hear more from you all on what time would be best.

Where did all the sudden hate for Freedoom come from? Is it just one guy shitposting? /vr/ used Freedoom as its IWAD to play PWADs for as long as I can remember.

>>6502923
I don't hate it, I admire it for what it represents and what it offers to people. I just think it's also really fucking ugly.
I'm still mad about them replacing the old gib sound.

This post is dedicated to Lucy, the best, meatiest, and most enticing of the id waifus.

Is hedon any good? I just started it (the freeware pk3 at least) and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand it seems like it's more of a "quake with sprites" than a doom derivative, but on the other hand I'm floored to see the geometry that's being pulled off in the (gz)doom engine. My biggest complaint so far is that the UI is ugly, I wish there was some way to get the classic status bar.

Id used to place the development files inside the devmaps directory, which was inside the home directory. There, you would find maps named in this fashion: E1M1.wad, E2M1.wad, E1M6.wad, etc., a directory called data_se which had three lumps: pnames.lmp, texture1.lmp, texture2.lmp; a directory called cdata which had maps named in this fashion (for doom2, tnt and plutonia): MAP01.wad, MAP02.wad, MAP30.wad, etc., and two lumps: texture1.lmp, pnames.lmp. There was also a directory called devdata, also in the home directory, which stored the files default.cfg and the IWADS.

>>6503045
A mere "ok" for something one had to dig really hard to know about since it wasn't mentioned in any forum, what a letdown.

>>6503097
here, have a supercharge

>>6503023
That's potentially an interesting bit of history. How might it be useful to source port gamers or content makers?

>>6503162
I think the content makers already have a better system for that, separating textures between folders and all that fancy thing. Here is where I got that from: https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/blob/77735c3ff0772609e9c8d29e3ce2ab42ff54d20b/linuxdoom-1.10/d_main.c#L617

I can't pretend I can read that code terribly well, but I think I see what it's getting at.

Ugh. Monday. I think I'd rather be playing Doom than doing my job... it would be more fun, at any rate.

>>6503252
doubt you'd want to replay it over and over

>>6502923
Mostly because of your posts.

>>6503023
Where did you find this information?

>>6503187
Oh, did they just store assets in accessed folders before packaging everything into a .wad?

>>6502765

because the idea of quality control goes against free software or some dumb shit like that

>>6502619
Ho kay we got ourselves a winner.
Doom 2 it is. Now i'll be doing the following in the meantime.
-managing a means of communication for anyone willing to use discord. If you don't want to use discord please provide me with an alternative to keep up with you.
-managing the bracket which you may see here https://challonge.com/shkek8x0
-Testing out and getting the server ready. There will be a practice server as well as the official server. Both requiring a password. Later on i'll get some /v/irgins to test out my doom server.
-Testing out my twitch streaming skills. If any of you have any alternatives to twitch in case we get banned(probably will) i'm glad to hear.
-shilling to get players/viewers for the event on multiple boards/servers.
-answering any questions.
I'm excited to see how this turns out. Hopefully it won't flop!

>>6503420
Oh yeah forgot to post the cancer/discord server. Please just use it to ask questions/register. Again you don't have to use it. https://discord.gg/9jHGhHJ
forgot to also post the actual results of the poll. If this works out I might do that /vr/ vs /v/ idea I had under my belt i've been thinking of doing.
I really again only need 8 players so I should be able to get 8 of you here willing to duke it out.

>>6502923
I don't hate Freedoom. I just think it lacks passion.

I asked that before, but maybe someone actually recall that obscure thing. When I was a kid, my father got some kind of map pack for Duke Nukem and I distincly remember a particular map for being bugged. I think it was some kind of cave with a fast-moving stream and teleporter. If I took a teleporter I would end up underwater and drown. And if I followed a stream I would fall into water and die from fall damage. Seems like someone forgot to make water surface not solid.

Maybe he just found some map pack with no quality control. Maybe game itself was bugged, wrong version or something. But ever since I wanted to track down this map and find out what was up with that.

>>6502619
>Hitscan Assisted Suicide Edition
>Edition

That's pretty zany behaviour. I don't believe I ever seen it described.

>bloodgdx
>max monsters
>slightly increased enemy damage
>normal health values
>no mid-level saves
I appreciate this game now more than ever, these shootouts are intense. It's made me realize how useful flare guns and voodoo dolls are, too, and it's been fun managing cultist painstates. Previously I'd just savescum the whole time like I used to do with Doom, I'm really surprised at the difference here with Blood especially.
I'm starting to wonder how much the challenge hinges on the Cultists, though. The Haunting is one of my favorite levels but it's just zombies and monsters with the only thing difficult being how you manage the stone HP sponges, none of these farts present a challenge otherwise. Still a wonderful level but making me realize these little guys are Blood's secret sauce.

>>6502641
http://www.mediafire.com/file/uti8gbws1bstc68/Quake_music_mp3.zip/file Will this do?

Direct3d or OpenGL canvas in LZDoom?

>>6502768
The same goes for maps. Quality stuff like NRFTL or Sigil is almost nonexistent in the freeware/user mapping scene.

>>6503570
Oh look, its the guy who gets filtered by pwads

>>6503390
Trent Reznor? What are you doing here at a time like this, get inside!

>>6503505
Is it voodoo dolls you don't know about or invulnerability states?

>>6503649
The fact that voodoo doll won't die on "20% damage and end level floor".

>>6503506
the thing about blood is that it's harder than doom but that's because 80% of the enemies are recolors of the cultist. It'd be like if doom 2 was all chaingunner palette swaps.

>>6503554
If you have to use LZDoom because of a low-spec machine in the first place, it's usually the Direct3D renderer because the overall quality of OpenGL drivers (in particular for ancient Intel integrated graphics) on Windows is worse, to the point that browsers use ANGLE to translate WebGL calls to Direct3D 11 or 9.

>>6503653
Imagine if Doom’s hitscanners moved like Build enemies.

>>6503505
This is interesting. Of course I know jack about the under-the-hood stuff, so >>6503649 mentioning voodoo dolls just goes over my head. (I get the idea though, just not the implementation.)

>>6503570
I guess quality mapping is hard - and, like FOSS, who's going to do it for free if they can make money doing it? But I'd love to see more good quality WADs, and I'm sure there are a lot out there I've yet to see - and I know there are some really high-quality Quake maps and mods.

I wonder if Netflix would make a miniseries about the Masters of DooM and replace everyone with black men but leave Romero as a white person?

>>6503697
Not meaty enough.

>>6503739

>But I'd love to see more good quality WADs
There's mountains, anon is just a cumguzzler.

>>6503828
whoooosh

>>6503834
Oh, I'm sure there's a lot I've not seen. But I also believe in Sturgeon's Law, and it applies to vidya (and to WADs and PAKs) as much as anything else.

>>6503570
Doom community has a lot of free quality maps, though.
Also NRFTL isn't free.

>>6503839
Well yeah, by volume sure, there was a boom of people making just random crap back when editing first got going, so there's a lot of garbage there, but it's really not hard to find good .wads because usually they've got a reputation for being good.

If you're new, gloss through the Cacowards for suggestions, you'll probably find something cool there.

>>6503837
oh boy and its a reddit user too

>>6503853
I've heard good things about those. Just need to avoid the Terry WADs.

>>6503760
>This is interesting. Of course I know jack about the under-the-hood stuff, so >>6503649 mentioning voodoo dolls just goes over my head. (I get the idea though, just not the implementation.)
Voodoo Doll is when you put extra player starts. The last one put will be the one you control, while the rest will just stand there. They might pick up items and receive damage. As I just discovered they don't receive damage from damaging floors, but they are affected by death-preventing effect of "exit at 1%" and they don't trigger exit either.

Something not very pointful, but amusing. On GZ Doom you actually hear the crunchy sound.

>>6503752

>>6503745
What are you gonna do about it, who the fuck is gonna believe a chanster about nipples on a lizard?

>>6503931

>>6503816
I know, im trying to get /trash/ to fix that.

>>6503971
What the fuck did fireblue ever do to you?

>>6504000
nice trips
uhhhh any time you look at it the framerate goes to hell and if you try to record video of it it just destroys the quality because video compression does not work on fireblue.

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

I'm sure most of you have heard these unused voice lines in the PS2 Q3A port by now.
I was wondering if there were any more, or if Doom was the only one they got around to. TCRF's article says there were more, and there is.
I'll try cracking these open get to the good stuff.
If Doom's psycho whisper is anything to go by, these voice lines should hopefully be something... interesting.

>>6504006
>uhhhh any time you look at it the framerate goes to hell
false.
the part about video encoding is however correct.

>>6504006
>uhhhh any time you look at it the framerate goes to hell
you get 666 fps?

>>6504006
Okay I can understand the compression one but... framerate? Doom came out in the early 1993, unless youre still playing on a dos computer, you have no excuse for this. I play doom on a fucking laptop and it doesnt have any framerate issues with fireblue, id reccomend upgrading your computer, and i dont mean you need to buy like a megacomputer with mr burns' 2 billion dollar bill but you clearly need to adjust something on your end.

>>6504012
I think sarge has some too and he sounds like a fucking cartoon depiction of a military man.

>>6504019
>>6504016
>>6504014
I mean I also play with every dumbass gz doom mod in the world so that's some of it. But yeah I stand by my original point which is fireblue sucks and is ugly.

Okay, finished Spaceballs: The Sequel. Only used three saves total (one on MAP08, two on MAP09). Very nice experience overall, at very least worth a runner-up at Cacowards.

>>6504024
Youre wrong it loos good, you just have brittle eyeballs.

>>6504027
Is there any good doom wads of kino 80=90's movies like robocop or some shit? I already know about the Ghostbusters one.

>>6504034
Aliens TC was probably a first major Doom mod, there are some more recent Aliens projects, there's Robocop TC - that's all off the top of my head.

>>6503380
That is what that code implies.
>>6503376
See >>6503187

>>6504037
Funny how Aliens and Doom have been linked for so long. Inspiration for id, first major TC, Alien Trilogy (which is seriously Doomlike and a nice technical step between Doom/II and Quake)... and a whole succession of other Alien universe FPSs of better or worse quality.

>>6504034
Die Hard would've made a pretty good FPS. I think there was a mod for one FPS or another in progress at some point (maybe Half-Life) but unless there's a Terminator Doom out there... I dunno about other movie adaptations.

>kino
Given that this is the German word for "cinema", doesn't it refer to film in general?

>>6504176
>Given that this is the German word for "cinema", doesn't it refer to film in general?
It's a /tv/ meme. Also I think it refers to the Russian movie industry, not German one. I don't think German film industry ever produced anything aside from crappy comedies and nazi propaganda.

>>6504187
>I don't think German film industry ever produced anything aside from crappy comedies and nazi propaganda.


What? Are you insane of just uneducated?

>>6504187
>It's a /tv/ meme
Ahh... okay. Given that I only seem to be on /vr/ and /tg/, I guess that one went over my head. I must admit, I can only think of one German film I've seen (and I admit it was neither of those kinds).

>>6504192
I mean seriously. Russia had Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov, Konchalovsky, Tarkovsky. Germans had what? Metropolis, Triumph of the Will and DEFA movies about Injuns?

>>6502619
If you were in charge of make an achievment list for Quake, what would you put here?

>>6504205

Newbie Mapper Problems #1: Scaling.

Just made a pair of rooms that looked really great in Doom Builder and had some nice level-change detailing and a bit of a "bigger than you can see" trick going on - but I'd managed to do it at the 4mp scale. So, door I couldn't even fit through... Back to the drawing board!

>>6504247
You can make door 2 pixel wide door. I guess some speedrunner will run through it though.

You may also consider using lift as a door.

>>6504232
eat shit contrarian
i'll gladly plow through it again

>>6504273
I don’t think disliking Eternal Doom is a contrarian position

>>6504247
select all, press "e", and scale by 2

>>6504336
Ah. I didn't know you could do that (I'm literally in my first hour of this) so I nuked it and started over. Still, couple of false starts and I've made a passable looking staircase and a recessed (at the moment, dummy) door.

Yes, I know it's nothing special, but... I've got a plan. Sort of. Just needs a bit of adapting from my original scribbles to make it work as an actual functional Doom map. So, not bad for a first go - I think. Still lots more to learn and do though.

>>6504254
>2px door
Don't tempt me. I've already got a couple of ideas for traps, and for a secret that you need to be extremely clever or use /noclip to find. Though I might not be mean, or skilled, enough to put them into map #1.

Oh, that reminds me. Romero said in an interview on designing Sigil that there was a rarely-used kind of switch that activated when shot. Anyone know what that might be?

>>6504006
It's like two frames alternating slowly, how would it have any appreciable effect on framerate?

>>6504363
>Oh, that reminds me. Romero said in an interview on designing Sigil that there was a rarely-used kind of switch that activated when shot. Anyone know what that might be?
Floor raises to ceiling? There's shootable switches 3 in vanilla format - that one, door opens and floor raises to next higher floor.

>>6504363
He referred to the usage of the linedef actions which activate when you shoot the linedef, which were signalled by those eye decorations in Sigil. And yeah it was rarely used, I don't even remember a shootable switch being in Doom and only probably two maps that use it in Doom 2.

>>6504371
open gl lighting

>>6504386
what, no that's stupid

>>6504363
... and I'm a dumbass. Forgot the screenie. Oh well, not going to embarrass myself further.

>>6504376
>>6504380
Cheers guys. Just had a dig in the DoomBuilder manual and now you've said "linedef" I've got it. (It's an idea for a secret,and it ties into a cosmetic effect I've just succeeded in putting together)

I think I may end up redoing this map from scratch but I'm getting the hang of it now. Still got a hell of a lot to learn, though. But - and I guess this is the important bit - I'm having fun doing this.

>>6502794
>Jim
Which one?

>>6504428
I would advice you to stick to 8 units grid at least until you get a better hang of it.

>>6504176
>Alien Trilogy

Was very decent, I had it on the saturn, it was a good port.


I wish the anon who was making Alien Eradication did a full on game. its very comfy.

>>6504431
Yep, I'm blocking out in 32s and only going smaller for details. At least, that's the plan (ish). I'm trying not to get too hung up on detailing right now, but just playing around to get a sense of how it works.

>>6504437
I had it on the PlayStation. I'd actually quite like to see some of its capabilities (angled walls, destructible walls, and a few others) in a kind of Doom++ engine.

Source-port development can be frustrating sometimes.

>>6504450
>Red Matrix
Also what are you making, anon?

>>6503006
I enjoyed it so much, I bought it on Steam. All future episodes for it will be available for those who purchase it and it supports the developer. I honestly think of it more like an RPG like System Shock 2 or Deus Ex since there are long periods where you need to fulfill quests and you have an inventory. Granted, it is more like Heretic in some regards since you don't build a character by leveling up.

>>6504458
Writing a fixed version of the first Xdoom (Id's source code release) without relying on SDL, this is harder than I thought, and I blame Xorg's bad documentation.

>>6504460
I thought it was pretty shit. Boring gameplay and terrible writing.
And the cherry on top is the creator being a futa idiot.

>>6504464
Yet, for some reason, the status bar displays correctly when I scale the image 3 times.

>>6504464
Yow. Well, that's impressive. Good luck with that!

>>6504465
I will fully admit the story is pretty milquetoast "you are teh chosen one" bullshit. But I enjoyed the gameplay. I can understand if you just want a shooter and don't want puzzles or hunting down materials though. I found it interesting and I liked the guns.

>>6504480
Ashes is better.

>>6502923
I don't think anyone really hates it, I think we all just feel pity for it. The project's been going on for almost two decades now, and even then, it's still mediocre.

>>6503006
Played the first two levels and they were pretty much mazes. The sprites are humorously mediocre and the gameplay isn't any special.
Thicc monster girls are nice though.

What are the official iwad maps which had shootable walls? E1M2 chainsaw secret, and a mandatory one in Map28. Other than that?

>>6503760
Voodoo Dolls are a really fascinating engine quirk, a bug really, not intended behavior (but no port fixes it).
As said, if there's a surplus start location for the Player (two separate Player 1 starts, etc), the first one will spawn a Player Pawn, but effectively an empty one, nobody is controlling it or doing anything with it, it's just there, and then the second one will be completely normal.

What makes the Voodoo Doll bug so cool is that whatever happens to the Voodoo Doll also happens to the Player, if the Player 1 Doll is shot, Player 1 takes that damage, if the Doll is mashed by a crusher, then the Player is too, his view will even lower to the ground and he'll slow down. If you're on Doom 2's Map 30 slot, where it's possible for the Player to get telefragged, the Doll can be telefragged, even by the Player himself, hence it's possible to make traps where the Player gets killed by telefragging his own Doll, as seen in TNT's Map 30.
The Doll can also pick up items, as exhibited in Plutonia's Map 28, where the Doll stands on a ledge in a little room outside the map, below the ledge are some items, and a certain action will lower the Doll down so he touches those items, and thus make the Player pick them up without him personally touching them.

The Doll can also trigger walkover linedef actions, which isn't easy to use in Vanilla Doom, but in Heretic and Boom, there are conveyor sector functions, thus what you can do is to place a Doll on a conveyor outside the map, and along that conveyor is a series of linedefs which each have their own action to something in the map.
Put a ceiling bar in front of the Doll so he's held in place, and when the real Player passes a certain linedef or presses a certain button, the bar raises, and off the Doll goes on his conveyor, triggering the actions in the sequence, in effect functioning as a crude scripting language. Going Down is the most famous example of this, making extensive use of 'Voodoo Scripting'

Does Quake as a series have any sort of infighting between titles? Each entry is quite different from the last, which seems like it'd easily give way to people solidifying preferences.

>>6504885
How many people still care about Quake. Quake 2 seems to be particularly forgotten.

>>6504885
A little, but mostly by faggots.

>>6504885
Yes, though I haven’t really paid attention to that stuff much
There are some subsets of people, though whether or not they all hate each other is up in the air
Quake 1 has the singleplayers and the multiplayers and I guess Darkplaces users
Some Quakeworld players believe that theirs is the “only title worthy of being called Quake”
There’s some overlap with QW players and CPMA players, who inhale adderall and legitimately compare Q3A to counterstrike in how “slow and corner-peeking” it is

There are Quake 2 singleplayers (not too many) and the multiplayers
I recall Q2 fans saying that Q3 “casualized” things by removing ramp jumps and adding instant weapon switching

Quake Live is the territory of Clan Arena diehards

As for Q4, fuck if I know, it’s got crouchsliding or something

Quake champions is lol

>>6504897
And keep in mind, this is anecdotal evidence I’ve procured in the last decade, I don’t know of what went on way back when, also there’s probably a lot of potential groups I’m missing, and I’m sure the anecdotal evidence I’ve provided doesn’t really say much for the communities as a whole

If Quake was more popular (as in any popularity), I’m sure this stuff would be more prevalent, but it’s not

Wait the way you phrased that, is player telefragging hard coded to only be enabled on MAP30? Or is it just that MAP30 is the only map in vanilla Doom II where telefragging is possible?

>>6505020
I'll clarify:
>player can always telefrag monsters on all maps
>monsters can never telefrag the player or each other, EXCEPT on map 30
The exception on Map 30 is to make the final boss work, because he only has a limited amount of spots to summon monsters on, and if that space is occupied by something already, it would have to clear that space (by telefragging what's on it), otherwise the two enemies get stuck on each other and become treadmill monsters walking in place and unable to do anything, as you can see if you ever were to try to put that encounter on any other map slot.

Doom can have a room without chaingunners or shotgunners and remain challenging, however, and you also can't just jump over anything that doesn't shoot bullets. I'm not sure if you can say the same for Blood, especially regarding the jumping.

>>6505431

>used to hate cultists
>now that i've gotten better at blood, i love them because they're the only actual challenge in the game

>>6505431
Jumpspamming only consistently works against like 1 or 2 cultists at a time past Lightly Broiled, what are you smoking?

>>6505458
I'm referring to everything else besides the stone gargoyles getting easily jumped over, and if not they're easily routed.

If I'm starting out with Doom mapping, should I make my map/WAD vanilla-compatible or Boom-compatible? The one I'm working on right now is the former because I want to target the largest possible audience/number of Doom setups, but I'm worried about stuff like visplane overflows. Do I just load it as a Boom-compatible map in Ultimate Doom Builder if I want to switch to that? Thanks.

>>6505552
I don’t see how these two would get along

>>6504298
Yeah. Eternal Doom has always been a polarising wad for its large and confusing maps.
I personally like it myself, though after map12, it becomes really hit or miss for me.

>>6503515
Yes. Thank you anon

>>6505567
Go limit-removing if you don't want to worry about visplanes and the like. No need to switch map format, either.

can you guys take back s'arais already

official mod when
LMAO

>>6505737
no

>>6505567
Whilst I personally think vanilla-compatible is not as harsh as some people want you to believe, I'd recommend "limit-removing", which is just the original formats for Doom 2/TNT/Plutonia (as used in vanilla), except you ignore the engine limits such as visplanes and drawsegs, and tell players they need a sourceport that removes limitations to play your level.

Boom is very powerful but easy to use, but it has many tricks that you can become dependant on, like I did once.

My advices for beginners is: analyze the levels you like the most, be it from pwads or iwads; ask yourself what makes them fun, pretty and overall enjoyable. Ask yourself what ISN'T fun, too. Compare your level to others', as long as they're not at an unrealistically complicated level above yours. You want to start out simple.

>>6505743
When you make it. But I'd you're going to make an edgelord joke mod at least make it fun.

>>6505774
What's the best mapping tool for beginners? I've picked up Doom Builder, which I think is what Romero used for Sigil; there's plenty of tutorials out there, plus a good manual.

But an anon above pointed out that it was old and discontinued. I did notice, but as it works I'm really not too bothered.

However... I don't want to develop bad habits, so if there's something better I should be using, probably best to know now before I've got more than a couple of hours in.

>>6505809
Doombuilder X or Ultimate Doombuilder.
They're both doombuilder forks anyways. Any will work fine for most people.

>>6505743

>4.4.x will be the last GZDoom release to feature a 32 bit build. Starting with 4.5.0 there will only be 64 bit versions.

So why is this? I'm not a programmer and I don't know how code works or anything, but in my experience 32 bit versions of any random program always ran better. What are some 64bit exclusive benefits could a Doom modder take advantage of?

>>6505840
Do they ever plan on ending ZDoom development?
Do we really not have enough Aren't there other, better, more suited game enignes out there for people's needs?

>>6505840
Ability to access more RAM in better ways.
To make both versions at the same time you have to either gimp 64 one by making everything x86 compatible, or write 2 versions of any code that is RAM-dependent (rendering for the most time).

64-bit software written in ways optimised to utilise full potential of 64 bit will always be better than 32-bit version of same software.

>>6505846

>but in my experience 32 bit versions of any random program always ran better.
I don't really understand how this is possible, unless you have hardly any RAM

>>6505974
It was mostly in Blizzard titles. There are some others I can't remember off the top of my head but the difference in framerate was so absolutely gigantic I was instinctively downloading 32 bit versions of any given application unless it was bugged or something.

>>6505974
>unless you have hardly any RAM
What's "hardly any" in modern terms?

No, seriously. I'm not a gamer, and for space and mobility reasons I've been buying retail laptops since about 2005. So understanding of spec has got away from me a bit; my current model (which is in need of replacement) runs Doom and Quake okay and does everything I need, but I couldn't even tell you if it has OpenGL.

>>6505998
modern OS requires 4 gigs to run properly, 8 gigs is considered "just enough", 16 is optimal, 32 is overkill

>play old DOOM level
>huh I like this map, let's look at the mapper
>completely left the scene in exactly 1998 never to return
It's always that year, how come? Quake was '96 but that didn't immediately kill the old mapping crowd, was it Half-Life that did it?

>>6505974
a lot of programs that have been around since the 32-bit era had a rough transition into 64-bit - i remember firefox's first 64-bit release running significantly worse than the 32-bit one

that doesn't really happen anymore though

>>6506009
I've had 16gigs of RAM since 2013 and the only time it was filled up above 12 was when some poorly optimised indie games had massive memory leak problems.

They don't make consumer 32 bit CPUs for 5 years or so. The ones that get made are for different systems, not desktop/laptop PCs.

People move on. Doom was just getting a bit old back then because so many new games were coming out.

>>6506317
and yet I can't think of a single game that's THIS old and is still getting modded to this very day

>>6506328
I thought DOOM modding only really picked up again the way it has in the past decade, with a relative slump in the mid to late 2000s
It definitely shows the quality of the game at hand (and the quality of its modding tools) that people come back to it after all these years though

>>6506043
A good chunk of the community back in the 94-97 days were people who got into Doom because it was the hit thing at the time, more than anything else. These types of people moved on once the next hit thing caught their eye, or once they had a more powerful computer to be able to play the next hit thing.
By 1998, the doom community had almost completely dried up of these people, with mostly the big fans remaining.
A lot of the notable people from the community back then were also hired by various game companies.

>>6506343
>It definitely shows the quality of the game at hand (and the quality of its modding tools) that people come back to it after all these years though
Definitely agree. Not just folks like me ('93 player) coming back to it and getting into mapping, but I know there are people half my age in this thread who have discovered it.

>>6506328
>>6506343
>>6506383
IMO Doom has the perfect balance between the ease of modding and what you can do with it.

Bethesda's ES/Fo games are popular for similar reason.

>>6506395
>IMO Doom has the perfect balance between the ease of modding and what you can do with it.
True, and its play mechanics are fairly straightforward too - just controls for directions, use (doors/lifts), shoot, run, change weapons. No mouselook, no cover mechanics or inventory. Doom isn't necessarily an easy game, but it's one you can pick up and play without the need for tutorials and manuals. It's actually a good game for the modern busy lifestyle, given that you can play for a few minutes and it runs on pretty much anything.

I think that's another good chunk of the secret of its longevity.

I think what particularly helped Doom stay alive and well was the timing of the source release. It was released on december 1997 under the Doom Source License, 5 years after Doom 1's release, and only 1.5 years after Final Doom.

>>6506424
It probably benefited from simplicity. By the time you start making true 3D games, you might as well map for the newest one available. But if you just want to draw some rooms, you can just take doom and go with it.

>>6506424
That was a pretty progressive idea, and it means we don't need to have emulators to play Doom today, or rely on someone like (say) Nightdive to sell us Doom '93 Remastered at full price.

>>6506431
>But if you just want to draw some rooms, you can just take doom and go with it.
Also true. Doom mapping isn't easy, but it's a more straightforward than for (say) Quake. I know a guy who is a professional 3D artist, and his hobby is making Star Trek sets for the latest Unreal Engine - that takes skill!

Of course Doom mapping has got much easier over time, and at least from my perspective it is a good starting point. (Not that I'll be able to carry techniques from Doom Builder to Trench Broom, but some of the ideas about space, wayfinding and flow, and setting up obstacles, encounters and puzzles will hopefully continue to apply.)

How does anti-cheat software like mods and custom content, anyway? I'd imagine it doesn't play nicely with them except under certain conditions, like Doom 2016 "snap maps". We don't have that concern...

>>6506287

Software developer for embedded systems and industry micro controllers. 32 bit systems are the norm here.

>>6506445
I like how ID released the source code for their engines up to the Q3 engine. I doubt we would have so many mods and games based off and created on the Doom and Quake engines otherwise. Hell, ID gave Valve the Quake engine for HL iirc.

I know a lot of anons here don't care for Heretical Doom, but I know some do. If anyone's interested, I set up a discord for playtesting, feedback, and development: https://discord.gg/9dfGph3

>>6506446
And this contradicts it being obsolete for desktop computers, how?

>>6506462
>up to the Q3 engine
Up to Doom 3, actually.

>>6505840
Beginning with 2004, Microsoft has dropped the 32-bit version of Windows 10 for new OEM installations, so it's probably only a matter of time until 32-bit versions of Windows (mostly a requirement for discontinued 32-bit drivers, NTVDM/WoW or RAMlet machines with 2 GB or less) are discontinued altogether.
That said >>6505941 is right, 64-bit software can process more data at once and rely on the fact that more registers and a sensible set of SIMD extensions (which can process at least 128 bits at once) are always available. The latter is already assumed by a lot of modern 32-bit code, since those were introduced with the Pentium 4, Athlon 64 and VIA C7 by the mid 2000s. The downside is that 64-bit memory addresses are twice as large, so any data structure containing them grows accordingly.

>>6506471
I need a quick rundown

>>6506514
On the Lost Soul? Basically his charge is homing and incredibly hard to avoid, but the impact does very little damage. Instead, when at point blank, he tries to do a quick followup attack that deals similar damage to his vanilla impact. Makes swarming considerably more dangerous, especially since they're more likely to trap you in place.
Been messing around with a similar setup for the normal gargoyles in Heretic and it felt pretty good, so I decided to try porting it over.

>>6506471
I remember trying to play it and that scaling was super screwed to the point where leveling up too quickly would result in first wand gibbing zombies and imps, while crossbow would shred the hell nobles

>>6506525
>Homing Lost Souls
Oh, oh no. The Pain Elemental is gonna be nerfed to account for this, right? Right?

>>6506536
There's been a lot of rebalancing since then, and the weapon damage scaling is optional now. Not terribly proud of some of my past versions, but I've been trying to improve things with each update.

>>6506540
Well, yes and no.

>>6506547
>can't bully PE with melee now
>why live

>>6506547
This looks interesting and vaguely familiar. Shill me on it, anon?

>>6506563
I posted that change a while ago, its part of my Vanilla+ modifier for Heretical Doom. It's an optional readjustment of enemy attacks and stats for when you don't want to use a monster mod, but you want things to be less easy.
The Pain Elemental in particular has a change of spitting out explosive pods rather than Lost Souls. The pods are designed to travel a small distance before being shootable, but the attack has a distinct windup animation. Basically designed to counter bullying it with fast attacks like the dragon claw, but gives a visual indication to allow the player to react in time and adapt.
For the vanilla+ modifier I just finished the last doom enemies, almost done Heretic, and halfway through Hexen. It should have a replacement for every enemy in the 3 IWADs minus the SS/Keen by the time the next release drops.

Pic related is the Centaur replacement for Hexen. He stores projectiles blocked with his shield for a counter, but his shield can be bashed with most melee attacks to stun him and dispel his charge.

>>6506574
>Heretical Doom
As in Heretic? That'll be why it looks familiar. Keep us updated!

>>6506596
Yeah, years ago it started as a port of brutal heretic for doom, but its evolved away from that a lot over time. There are two classes, one with more advanced shenanigans and one closer to the feel of vanilla heretic. The Zdoom forum thread has all the info and the download.

>>6506862
Is monster placement relevant in Doom. With the exception of AVs and Cybers, there are just two tiers, and everything is interchangable.

I'm binging through various '97 3D shooters at the moment and I have yet to play Hexen II (ever). Is the Hammer of Thyrion sourceport considered to be accurate?

>>6506885
Even if you are very selective there are still heaps of good stuff to keep one busy playing WADs.

>>6506892
Monster placement is definitely relevant, especially with enemies like hitscanners, Revenants, Pain Elementals too. And sometimes maps are designed with strictly calculated ammo pickups, so even replacing a few enemies with other enemies who have a bit more HP might fuck up the balance.

>>6506185
I enjoy it when maps try to do something more unique with the Mancubus and Arachnotron kill switch mechanics, like in Valiant. I like Memento Mori's map 07 too, although those two mentioned maps probably don't really count as Dead Simple clones. Doom 64 has a pretty cool variation on it too.

>>6502619
Is the last poster right?

>>6506862
You wouldn't want to do that. Half of your shotgun/pistol ammo probably comes from hitscanners. Plus they are pretty important for combat in order to balance out the melee monsters (lost souls, demons) with the projectile characters (imps, barons, etc)

Random oldfag moment...

Decided not to screw around with Ultimate Doom Builder or anything needing OpenGL, or any enhanced render APIs like Vulkan. Didn't think my laptop (integrated Intel graphics, rather than a GeForce) had it and so didn't want to overtax the GPU.

On a whim, did some Googling, found out how to check driver versions. Turns out I've got both OpenGL and Vulkan. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.

(Not a bad laptop, this... runs Doom and Quake no problem. Not fancy, not expensive. Guess I won't be wanting an Alienware in the near future...)

There's definitely some breed-specific qualities, but 90% of the dogs behaviour should come from training.
There's a thing called "obedience training". All dogs need it to overcome instincts, otherwise they will act on them, but people who know fuckall about dogs think a smack and stern talking for wrong behaciour is enough, when it's really not. And then they get surprised when dogs act out on their animal instincts.

BD ripped off Serious Sam 3 which was initially a pitch for nuDoom when it was still in Call Of Doom phase, and theres prototype video of a takedown in proto-nu-Doom dating back before BD was even cvonceived.

This guy shitposting about brutal is clearly Alf. Same ESL speech patterns, buzzwords, and samefagging. Mods need to rangeban this loser so he cant just reset mommy's router.

>>6507434
Let's do a little experiment. You see, I was shitposting heavily in one of the recent threads, and janny came and banned me, but only because I said that I evaded a ban. That ban is still up I think, so just watch this, he will come in this thread and out of all the shitposting he will single out this particular post and ban me for it, because he couldn't care less about keeping up the law and order, the only thing that bothers him is perceived threats to his imaginary power.

>>6507468
Sorry bro, I'm not your long-lost dad.

Okay, own up. Who invited >>>/b/ to hang out in here? Door's to your left, fellas...

Anyway. Back on topic... we seem to be a fairly Doom-centred general. Are there any other non-Doom, non-Quake games that have an active mapping and modding community or are most of them fairly static? Any games using those engines that still have active creators?

(Inspired by anon showing off Heretical Doom upthread)

>>6507584
Half-Life has some mapping going (and used to have an absolutely enormous scene still just 10 years ago), and Duke Nukem 3D has a slow but steady output of maps too.

>>6507602
>half life
lol

>>6507584
One guy made a REKKR, which is a pretty much complete standalone game on Doom engine, that is so vanilla-compatible it can run on original executable and Chocolate Doom.

>>6507602
What have you done??? Why did you utter that name!?

>>6507602
>Duke Nukem 3D
I must admit I've never been keen on Duke. Not that I have anything against the engine, and I'm sure it's a brilliant game to play - it just doesn't speak to my sense of humour.

Although with the release of Ion Fury, I guess that's going to kick some life into the Build Engine modding/mapping community. That's a game that I'm definitely excited about after watching a few videos. (Yes, I know it's been out a while. Only recently returned to gaming, so it's news to me.)

I wonder if Wrath: Aeon of Ruin will have the same effect for interest in Quake?

>Half-Life
Been a very long time since I even looked at Half-Life, but it was the first Windows FPS I played. Tried a few maps and mods back in the day and they never really did it for me, but it's good to hear that it's still got fans. Wasn't a bad game, as I recall, and it had some interesting things going on. The character animation and voicing was pretty ambitious for its day!

>>6507613
>REKKR
Looks interesting! I'll give it a go.

(I am so, so sorry...)

>>6507645
he's even more neurotic than he used to be, since he fucked up and got outed over memes when he was an anonymous schizo before. Now he goes for hour-long rants if you point out he's extremely obvious in posting style.

>>6507641
Fuck that, he's not our problem anymore, we have enough lunatics around here. If you want something done about it get in contact with the mods. They won't give a fuck because they don't care about anything at all, but you can try.

>>6507620
>Although with the release of Ion Fury, I guess that's going to kick some life into the Build Engine modding/mapping community.


I dont believe so. The game looks beautiful, but you need more than that to reinvigorate it, the rest of the game is boring as fuck. Shelly a shit.

>>6506186
You can set custom difficulty in BuildGDX in the difficulty screen. Fresh Supply has it, too.

>>6507735
woah dude thanks for reminding me why i stopped visiting 4chan's shithole video game boards. as you were you fucking sperg.

Is it just me or are the secrets in Wanton Destruction really hard to find? I'm being as thorough as I was in the base game and Twin Dragons (which meant I usually only missed 1 or 2), but now I'm finding less than half.

>>6507771

I dunno it's fucking boring and I don't like it

>>6507802
i never felt like SW secrets were necessary to progress or made anything particularly easier
meanwhile in dook and blood they would turn some levels into a breeze

>>6507865
>i never felt like SW secrets were necessary to progress or made anything particularly easier
You're right, I just like knowing I found them. Also, I think I made the mistake of playing through vanilla+Twin Dragons on Who Wants Wang difficulty. I thought that the highest difficulty would be grueling and unfair like Blood's Extra Crispy, but I'm playing through Wanton Destruction on No Pain No Gain and it's not even that bad.

>>6507802

The image literally shows a case of that, though? It's popular to hate it here so everyone shits on someone posting it even if it's just an innocent webm.

Is Seven Portals the ultimate casual filter?

>>6507282
>>covers a switch on the wall with mspaint blood
that happens in vanilla too you know.

>>6507953
Hexen is not for everyone, you either tolerate the combat and level design, or you don't.

>>6507953
I absolutely love everything about Hexen except the old ass level design.

I cant imagine how cool if they went the more Build games real life locations.

Medieval towns, castles, deserts. One of the reasons I love Hexen 2.

>>6507972
No, anon, no it doesn't.
The blood decals in ZDoom also aren't so frequent, big, and covering, that's ever an issue there either.

>>6507972
There are no blood decals in vanilla, maybe you're thinking of zdoom

When people say "ZDoom" in the context that it's still being developed they obviously mean the whole family, because GZDoom and QZDoom are pretty much just continuations of ZDoom.

>>6505629
>>6505774
I think both Boom and Doom use the same, regular map format. Is there anything in the map data that will indicate if it is meant for Boom or vanilla Doom? Will it make a difference if I load a map in Ultimate Doom Builder using the "Boom: Doom 2 (Doom format)" option rather than "Doom: Doom 2 (Doom format)"? I found out that the Visplane Explorer in UDB is a thing, so I can use that, I guess. Thanks, tho.

>>6508318
Yes, it will make a difference. Boom has exclusive linedef actions that may be required for a map to work. If you open a Boom map in the original format, it'll find those actions as "unknown".

>>6508352
Thanks for the info. By map format, I was really referring to UDMF vs. original Doom, but I guess that doesn't matter here since neither Boom nor vanilla Doom use UDMF.

>>6507953
Hexen is only good in theory. Double so for Hexen II, a game nobody has played all the way through.
