If infighting is easily triggerable, isn't 100% kills always possible regardless of the ammo provided, so long as there's enough to kill the final survivor(s)?

That being said, I didn't attempt max kills in my testing due to time constraints. I'll try with more ammo added, but I'm intending for infighting to be a key focus of the level, so I don't want the player drowning in ammo. Ammo management should be a consideration.

Still the best Doom wad ever made.

>>6604228
And people say Doom 64 is the "true Doom 3".

IF YOU HAVE A LEVEL FOR 2048 UNITS OF /VR/ THAT YOU WANT PLAYTESTED, REPLY TO THIS POST WITH A DOWNLOAD LINK

WIP with no texturing/lighting. Feedback so far is that there may not be enough ammo.

>>6604202
Is what I was intending with the ammo balance but I may have gone too far. I have beaten it on UV in my testing but not with 100% kills.

So is there a specific way of inserting voxels into doom wads or can I just send them in and make a voxeldef file?

>>6602234
Damn I was gonna submit a demo but I wasn't recording.

Re-upload once you add textures. I think the black stone would look cool.

Level has way too little health for skill 2. I haven't tested skills 3 or 4. Remember you want skill 2 to be easy; you don't want people to have to tryhard to beat it. If you don't want to reduce the monster count to make it easier then add more health.

There are way too many combat armors on skill 2, I dunno about the other difficulties. There isn't even nearly enough health for you to be able to utilize all that armor. Replace half of those armors with medkits on skill 2

>>6604282
Is this cauldron_notextures.wad? I forgot to mention, that trapped exit is pretty bullshit. I got teleported in front of a cyberdemon and instantly died and quit.

>>6604232
AH YES. That split second where you know what's about to happen. Where you know you have enough time to look away. WHERE YOU KNOW YOU'LL DIE IF YOU DO NOTHING... and then you do nothing and die.

>>6604332
The true mastermind.

Thanks

If you're not careful and you idspispopd out of reality in the wrong linedefs, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in
God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you

>>6604321
Yes. The progression from there is to go behind the cyberdemon to the newly revealed teleporter that takes you back to the exit.

Too bullshit? I could remove that and instead reveal the cyberdemons when you leave the plasma gun room.

>>6604318
Thanks - I removed a lot of monsters for skill 2 but I agree that adding more health would be better balance than removing more.

I'm also thinking of moving the berserk to the backpacks secret and replacing it with an invulnerability. That will give people a tradeoff: the later you leave it the more useful it will be, but the harder it will be to make the jump because of crowding on the ground floor.

Sorry for double posting.

>>6604387

/x/ would go ape for this

Yo did y'all motherfuckers know there is a new goddamn factory balls game?
It's brand new and you can find it on coolmathgames.com !

>>6604424

Holy shit

>>6604461
Yeah! You can also get it factory balls on steam! It said 221 levels, so I think it's the whole series. #5 is called factory balls forever, by the way. It's still in the "new games" section on coolmathgames.com

>>6604475
hey randall from ms. lorrande's social studies class.....................................................................................................................
i fucked ur mom last nigth >:)

>>6604556
AND I FUCKED YOUR GRANDMA
I DON'T KNOW ANY LORRANDE

I can't remember where I read this, but I read that in community projects, some people feel they need to "leave their mark" so they design these massive levels that play like a slogfest. Holy shit this is true. I was playing a really fun PWAD that got totally ruined by shitty confusing levels that play like shit.

>>6604634
This is probably why megawads made by single authors or small teams flow much better, since the author knows the balance between small and larger levels in the wad. But even non-community project megawads such as Eviternity are sometimes guilty of this due to gigantic maps made by guest mappers. Btw, which PWAD anon?

>>6604634
Everyone wants to make the next Misri Halek.

>>6604672
DBP24. It started off very strong and I just knew I was gonna have fun speedrunning it. But map 6 is bad, map 7 is worse, and map 8 is one of those giant boring maps.

Am I going to have to use something like Slade to remove maps from my wad if I accidentally added more than I wanted?

>>6604718
Probably. It's not that hard.

Where's Marisa at?
And where's my RTNP weapons for DoomReal?

>>6604634
I'll apologize in advance for my first map. It's short, but it's definitely overdetailed.

Anyone play Carved in Flesh? Its pretty neat, I just started Haunting

>>6604672
>>6604634
I on the other hand love large sprawling and interconnected levels like Eviternity's MAP32.

Updated the map now, it is now a lot tougher(maybe a little bit too much), i also decided to add to the roaster the chaingun so you should be have a sniping option.

also i wonder, is that post >>6604275 also good to post out finished out entries?

Please tell me there's more than just chaingunners all the way from now on.

>>6604830
Stronghold is particularly heavy on zombies, for years it was actually thought to be impossible to finish on Nightmare! difficulty, and until relatively recently, nobody had done so. There'll be some more chaingunners and shotgunners, but not as much as that.

>>6604801
Kona's maps all have some new aesthetic, but they also kinda blend together after a while, with similarly scaled two-story courtyards and the like. I don't recommend playing them one after another, better use as occasional spice.

>>6604829
That post is not for finished entries, but no one's gonna stop you from posting them. That post is to make it easier for any anons that need their maps playtested, and to make it easier for anons to find maps that need playtesting. I dunno who's in charge of compiling the finished maps but there's still time.

>>6604867
I see, thanks for letting me know!

>>6604895
tried your level out btw, it's not really up to standard. I'm sorry anon. Perhaps you could try applying yourself more in the future?

>>6604901
t. someone who's never made a map

Playthrough video of map32 of 300 minutes of /vr/ is up. A difficult map with lots of hitscanners and teleporting arch-viles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ZG4DQ3OPQ

So I'm playing TNT right now (Redemption was pretty good) and it seems it, and to a degree Plutonia uses way more hitscanners than modern wads. Why is that? Is it because they can now just fill the level with hundreds of powerful demons and not be limited by hardware?

>>6604146
what's the circular thing supposed to be? doesn't seem natural

Are there any doom mods out there that have molotovs as weapons so I can base off of it for my mod, or should I nix having those since I'm also adding a flamethrower in the same mod?

Hi all /vr/, beta tester for Samsara Extra Heroes here. I'm not sure how many people talked about this yet but Samsara recently got an update. Gonna try to sum up the changes without posting the whole changelog

>New playable character: Adrian Shephard, HL1 soldiers join your side if you're playing as him
>Freeman and Shephard's enemy sets now have smoother animations
>HL1 weapon animations are now smoother
>Dynamic music for Freeman and Shephard
>Freeman's flashlight was fixed so it can no longer interact with the environment
>Patches are now merged, which include the ally cell phone progress bars
>Character bobs are now more faithful to their original home games (Grondoval and Caleb, for example)
>Wang's uzi glitch has been fixed
>Redneck GDX sprites added
>Strifeguy now gets pieces of the Sigil through slots 3-7, without the need of Slot 7 to use it
>Strifeguy's Slot 1 is now an ally beacon, and Unique is now an upgrade
>Freeman now has the crossbow
>Squeak is now an actual weapon
>Freeley now has Dog Mode
>Biggest change of out of these: Samsara Extra Heroes has merged with Kinsie's Samsara 0.3666, meaning CVARINFO problems are gone
>Samsara EXH development is now more transparent
>Leonard now has the gut and alcohol system

There's probably more that i'm missing, correct me if im wrong on any details

>>6605295
Great, now can you guys make a version without shovelware heroes no one cares about?

>>6605332
Nah.

>>6605332
(same guy as >>6605339)
If it makes you feel any better though, Zandrew has said he will refrain from adding obscure characters.

I'm releasing my map today. I know you guys will tear me a new asshole, but it requires GZDoom or Zandronum to run. Large size because of mp3 music.

It's a 3 map WAD. Demons have blasted through your house wall and took your pet turtle Lyle. Fight your way to the infested Tech Citadel that poisons the skies and rescue your friend.

Anyway here's the download link: https://mega.nz/file/ysdgRCxQ#Y1jyG9hGGbi4LkCxP4_6qt4SKjfHfg66wsFWD3B89Qg

New beta of "Cauldron". Still needs detailing and music, plus further changes based on testing.

The lighting is Doom 64 style, so I recommend playing in a dark room.

What I changed based on testing so far:
>more health
>more ammo (confirmed with wadspy to more than enough to get 100% kills with no infighting on every difficulty, although the balance is still tight)
>removed the final trap and instead released the cybies earlier
>replaced the berserk secret with an invul secret
>moved the berserk secret to the backpack secret

>>6605374
Nice sector furniture, but you seem to be very stingy on ammo.

I have an idea for my map, is it possible in boom format to make five pillars alternating which one is raised? So one pillar is raised to the top, all others down, then they switch and some other is raised while other are down.

>>6605472
Voodoo scripts. Voodoo doll on a conveyor crossing linedefs controlling pillars, then into silent teleporter and back to the beginning of the conveyor.

>>6605479
Clever, thanks

>>6605374
Only one map in but this is a gem for sure. Nice detail and fun encounters, didn't die on UV. Ammo balance felt fine if you infight a little to save rockets for the pinky battle at the end.

Doom and Doom II RPG are both based as fuck... Just finished II. There was even a little tie in comic book for II, I can link if anyone wants it.

I had never thought of Doom in this format before but it works. Are there any Doom mods that recreate the feel of these two games?

>>6605497
Did you manage to get it working without all sound effects and music causing the game to lock up for a few seconds every time they play? If so, how?

>>6605501
Yes, I just used J2ME Loader for my android phone and loaded the .jar files linked in the thread. They work like a charm. Has an on screen keypad. Pic related.

>>6605501
You know the game is turn based and sound effects only play sometimes and very abruptly right? music doesn't play often in either.

>>6605505
On windows for me it locks up for like 10 seconds every time a sound plays. EVERY TIME.

>>6605497
Link me up. Gotta have those comics.

>>6605504
Looks like Blake Stone

>>6605506
Oh I see. Like locks up completely, no inputs register?

Not sure, like I said I played them on my Android phone. The rar that contains the iD RPGs in the OP has a J2ME emulator too.. Surely whatever you're using isn't the only Java game emulator for PC, maybe try a different one?

>>6605515
Here you go. It's a prequel to Doom II RPG, which has three protagonists to choose from, a scientist guy, a chick, and "Sarge", who is your basic Doomguy character

https://imgur.com/a/slxE9or

>>6605549
Not like no inputs registered, like the entire emulator stops for 10 seconds.
Most emulators seem to do this, and I can't get Nox to be stable enough to run. Will probably try BlueStacks with the j2me runner thing next.

There we go, complete. Now let's see if I can figure the Pinky piece out.

>>6605556
They did the thing. Nice.

>>6605556
Based, is that a revenant with a chaingun or did the Heavy Weapons Dudes face just rot off?

Do you faggots remake this thread twice in a day?

>>6605596
Lurk moar.

>>6605495
thanks, hope you liked 2 and 3.

>>6605596
My name's Duke Nukem, and I only pay for hookers.

>>6605596
Eat shit and die.

>>6605295
will lo wang's riot gun be slot 2 instead and the grenade launcher be slot 3

>>6605618
Most likely not but I find riot gun being slot 3 making sense, seeing as it's a crowd control weapon and all that

>>6605621
also for IP Freely
will the ludicrous gibs message be on the pick feed instead of front and center?

>>6605640
that's just a side effect you'll have to deal with

>>6605645
ok

>>6605649
ok i apologize like a douche but really, zandrew has no plans to make it a pick feed message

Are offsite monsters for teleports in the 2048 Units considered a requirement to be within the 2048 unit area, or is it like dummy sectors, which are permitted outside of that area?

>>6605708
Outside teleporters are allowed.

>>6605708
If I understand correctly, the player is supposed to be confined in the 2048x2048 area. You can even put monsters in unreachable places visible from the play area

>>6605070
TNT, I'd say its because mappers (particularly back then) liked to use lots of KDITD monsters + chaingunners in techbase themed levels, which takes up more than two thirds of the wad.

Plutonia mainly just preferred using Chaingunners over the other two zombie hitscanners. Zombiemen are particularly very rare in Plutonia, not making their first appearance until MAP07 on UV. When you combine all the zombie hitscanner totals together, its overall not much different in numbers to Doom 2 itself.

>>6605708
Dummy sectors and other areas not reached by the player is fair game.

>>6605732
>Plutonia mainly just preferred using Chaingunners over the other two zombie hitscanners.
This is mainly because the design philosophy of Plutonia was "If this level isn't giving me a hard time on Ultra-Violence, I need to make it harder."

>When you combine all the zombie hitscanner totals together, its overall not much different in numbers to Doom 2 itself.
True. What Plutonia does isn't so much swamp the player with monsters, it's just made in a very calculating way to use the monsters against the players in the most challenging way.

I think also with TNT, they probably simply thought that the shotgun baldies and chaingunners were just really cool and wanted to put a lot of them everywhere.

Has any one here checked out HellBound ? it is not retro but since its coming out now but has a huge quake vibe.

>>6605708
AFAIK, most 1024/2048 projects only required the restriction for playable areas. Decorative sectors, monster turrets and teleporter closets were permitted to be outside of the range, provided the player is unable to reach them without the use of the noclip cheat.

>>6605762
It looks pretty shit. I gave up on it.

>>6605763
I think there was like, one project out there which went further and demanded *everything* fit inside 1024.

My journey through TNT continues
Redemption: Really good, small map with good action. Except for that one time I just walked out on the entire squad teleporting in and didn't even trigger the cacodemons. TNT seems to overuse deaf monsters.
Storage Facility: Good architecture and crates maze is fun, but probably overdone the hitscanners again
Crater: The only thing cratered here is the population? Where is everyone, come the fuck on! The entire crater is like 2 barons and 2 revenants. The maze for its cool lighting is completely, distressingly empty. Must be hell for those who aim for 100% kills.
Nukage Processing: Didn't finish it but looks much better. Ironically the crater is much better as well. Haven't beaten it yet though.

>>6605531
No it doesn't.

>>6604829
The big wide open spaces still aren't being used. I feel like you could cut the length and width of the map in half and it still wouldn't affect anything because there is so much unused space.

Skill 2 is still way too easy. The only reason skill 4 is difficult is because an arch-vile teleports in and there is zero cover, so you have to rely on stunning him with the SSG to survive the fight, which is totally luck-based.

Everything that is tagged as skill 3 should spawn in skill 2 to make skill 2 harder. Balance the ammo so that the player has fewer ammo on the lower difficulties since there are so many fewer monsters. Re-balance skill 3 and 4.

Maybe try a new map with a new design. Making one big 2048-unit box is kind of a lazy idea.

We should do another Quake mapping project once 2048 is done.

>>6605921
Going to put a replacement for the archie then i am open on ideas, Gonna lower the ammo in there also.
But i won't Put skill 3 monster in skill 2, that is just dumb it's meant to be bloody easy.
and no new map i already am burned out somewhat with this.

>>6605970
Y'think people kept mapping after the first one or did they drop it dead?

>>6605970
We should probably wait a little while first. Remember how the Halloween set kind of just deflated because everyone was tired from 300 Minutes?

>>6605974
I kept mapping. Never finished one though.

>>6605981
>We should probably wait a little while first
Right, I didn't mean immediately.

>>6604275
Here is the second version of my map. Still no difficulties (skill 4 only), but there are more monsters and overall it's much more polished and pretty. Still concerned about it being too short but I've sort of backed myself into a corner with this layout.

>>6606013

What monsters would you rather fight with only one HP? After finding out how to reliably leave player with only 1 hp, I'm itchy to use it somewhere.

>>6605374
good map! 10/10

>>6606060
Only projectile enemies and no lost souls

>>6605295
>HL1

>>6606076
Oh goddamn it it's you again

>>6606060
If you're looking for pointers, Action Doom (the first one) did the 1HP concept remarkably well.
Also a general advice would be what anon said, hitscanners are an absolute no-go since there is no way to counter them. Archviles get a pass though, given how their attack is well telegraphed.

>>6605295
wtf did I just read? What unholy clusterfuck is this??

>>6606097
A shitty, bloated addon for an old mod got updated.

>>6606009

You can just disable them there's an option for that

>>6606123
(You can disable 3D sets and vice versa I meant)

where do these profile images for quake 3 skins/characters come from?
i thought they were official or came from a site that doesn't exist anymore
were they ever tied to the game or id in some ways?

>>6604146

Lookin good

Was bound to happen but DBT finally works on an Eternal mod
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slRRfm7-IMU

>>6606060
In that specific circumstance, hitscanners would only frustrate, since the margin of error would be too small, excepting the Arch-Vile.

>>6605374
What's up with the sky?

>>6606224
i don't know, did not have that problem on a freshly installed GZDoom or on Zandronum.

>>6606224
Play in OpenGL instead of software rendering.

>>6606161
They came from stomped.com, I never figured out if they were official or not. I had to do some archive.org/.li scrounging to get all of them, and Angel's picture seemed corrupted.

>>6606239
has anyone asked carmack of anyone at the time about these, even?

>>6606187
I see that He asked for pillow's help with the sprite work (which is good as always)

>>6606265
Why would someone fucking a Carmack about those?

Reverse image search doesn't give hits on anything?

There were Gamespy network sites dedicated to specific games in rhe late 90s and esrly 2000s, like PlanetDOOM, PlanetDeusEx, even a PlanetDaikatana. These sites actually had a pretty close relationship with the devs and publishers at times, serving as sort of official sites and doing advertising and give aways for the publishers, etc. It could be original profile images made for PlanetQuake around the time of Arenas release.

Most of these sites are preserved on the Wayback Machine.

>>6606328
*ask

>>6606265
I don't know why you would ask an ex-games programmer about marketing material from 20 years ago, and the people who made the things likely don't even remember doing it, but I dug up my downloads of them

>>6606359
I recall searching for archived snapshots of stomped.com, but I don't remember If it was actually stomped or a similar website that I ended up finding myself on

>>6606359
I remember all my projects from the 90s and early 2000s

>>6606373
Here's Angel's, the fucked one, but it came with all the other originally hosted images in the same resolution, and at least the bio is readable

>>6606378

>>6606376
I don't know anything about how the Planet sites were run, if they were all managed by s set group or if each offshoot had its own team, it wouldn't hurt to try and find info on the people who managed the stuff.

>>6606383

>>6606386

>>6606390
Most probably know about Doom's unused voicelines from that PS2 port of Quake 3 by now, but there are four more residing in the game files, but the only one I've seen uploaded is Sarge's. I might just make a throwaway Youtube account and ask the uploader how he got his hands on it, since my extracting efforts faltered.

>>6606396
There was a game called Gore: The Ultimate Soldier released in 2002. This guy is named Gorre, his bio (not this one) reads that he thinks of himself as an ultimate soldier. Coincidence?

>>6606407
This guy is the default skin in Quake 2, yet it seems implied that Bitterman was the protagonist of that game.

>>6606410

>>6606413
A fan favorite here, among however many fans Quake 3 has these days.

>>6606396
Those PS2 voice lines make Doomguys lines in Eternal look like Shakespeare, and they're mostly just lifted from the Doom comic. The PS2 lines are concentrated cringe.

>>6606204
What an abomination.

>>6606418
The french ones are excellent though.

>>6606414
I appreciate Quake Champions' attempt at trying to flesh out characters who were originally nothing more than selectable models, some skins, and blurbs, but why did Keel get to keep nades for himself? The tribolt isn't very inspired.

>>6606414
Crash is still better

>>6606410
Bitterman did look like that in Q2, all the grunts did. Bitterman looks like he does in Arena because he was captured and experimented on by the Strogg.

It clearly says the name Bitterman on your landing pod at the start of Quake 2.

>>6606427
The alien with the annoying sounds, coming up.

>>6606418
The voice actor they got is actually somewhat prolific, as are the other four, but the delivery on Doom's lines make him sound like a bootleg Caleb. They're funny to listen to, but they certainly made the right choice on not keeping them in the game. I don't even know how voice acting would work in a game like Quake 3.

>>6606425
They're in other languages?

>>6606428
Objectively?

Yeah, I had the french pack years ago but I've wound up losing it due to a hard drive wipe.

I was always confused because Bitterman has a more "normal" physique. I guess he became emaciated during torture, but he became extremely smug in the process. It's best not to think too hard about it, because I doubt the devs did.

It's cool how much distinctness you can get out of a model just by being a good texture artist. Especially with Hossman and his skins.

Storyline Updated 07.09.00
"Untold centuries ago the Vadrigar, the mysterious Arena Masters, constructed the Arena Eternal for their own infernal amusement. Virtually nothing is known of these beings except that they savor the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have stocked the arena with the greatest warriors of all time. And you have just joined their ranks."

"As a gladiator in the Arena Eternal, you must not only survive, but also win each and every battle against ever more powerful opponents. Don't worry overly much about getting "fragged." The Vadrigar won't be cheated of their favorite sport by a little thing like death. Those who fall are instantly restored to life and immediately thrust back into the battle, perhaps a little wiser for their misfortunes."

"When the dust, blood, and gibs settle, all warriors will have earned the right to battle again, providing further entertainment for the Vadrigar. But only the warrior who has fragged the most foes will be lauded as the winner. The victorious gladiator advances to a more challenging array of arenas, until, at last, he or she faces Xaero, Lord of the Final Arena."

In single-player mode, Quake III Arena is split into six tiers of four arenas each. In order to progress to the next tier, a gladiator has to beat all four arenas. Finishing second or third won't do-you must emerge as the clear winner.

While the rules are a little different in multiplayer (network or online) games, there is one important rule that sums up your life as a gladiator in the Arena Eternal:

FRAG EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T YOU!

Made changes to my map (trap-based arena) to include more logical sense of progression and hopefully make it less of a slog.
Added a SSG in the spawn, more rockets in the nest, more cell ammo everywhere. Removed some enemies, made the layout in blue room easier to avoid archies while trapping in wandering chaingunners (in theory).
Criticism more than welcome.

None of these /vr/ maps have readmes

>>6606629
Not bad, the music certainly fits the hectic gameplay. I just have a minor gripe with the visuals of the room in pic related. The base textures don't really fit in with the aesthetic that the rest of the map has going, I would recommend changing them.

>>6606682
> these /vr/ maps
Which ones? The ones being submitted for 2048 Units of /vr/? Those are all Doom 2, Boom-compatible maps (-complevel 9 in PrBoom+)

>>6606629
It's funner now, but way too much ammo across all difficulties. Remember to reduce the ammo on lower difficulties to balance the lower monster count. I left the map with 400/100 bullets/shells every run I think, and there were still boxes of shells lying around.

Felt too easy across all difficulties also. I beat UV on first try, whereas before I had to grind to beat it. Reduce the plasma and rocket count to encourage rationing

> https://doomshack.org/uploads/PeanutDemos01.zip

Played two vr levels. Both had no textures. Dunno if it was my switch or the maps.

One was a hallway pinkie punching party with telefrag spiders and one was a spiral staircase of pain. Fuck you that anon. Especially the sneaky secret bfg that took me 15 minutes to figure out. I tried to run past/fight the cyberdemons

I enjoyed both maps.

>>6606824
>Dunno if it was my switch or the maps.
The maps are meant to be loaded up with a wad containing the textures used in the map.

>>6606824
You played them on the switch?

Check the news post (the 2nd post). There is a link to another post that contains the rules and a download link for the texture pack (GOTHICX.wad)

>>6606824
Thanks! There's also a non-scratch BFG if you run past the cyberdemons, but that's only relevant for UV Maxers. If you didn't notice it I'll bump up the brightness in that room.

And yes, as anon said, anything for the collab project is meant to be played with GOTHICX.wad

>>6606824
Glad you enjoyed them, anon. This bodes well for the project. I'm not in charge of anything, but I'm gonna request that everyone submitting maps include the texture pack so that anyone playing the maps can just load the maps, and whoever is compiling the maps can handle the rest when the time comes.

>>6604275
DO YOU HEAR THAT, ANONS? INCLUDE THE TEXTURE PACK IN YOUR WADS

>>6606890
If it's not too much work, could you make that room cylindrical? I think it would look a lot cooler

>>6606908
Which one? The BFG room? Or the whole central room? Redrawing the central room would be pretty difficult at this stage.

>>6606824
The first one was my level. I'll try to add more variety in the hallways asides from pinkies. Good job finding the telefrag secret, I might obfuscate it more but I think it's fun. Thanks for checking it out.

>>6604275

Okay ithis is StraightWalledRooms by manuk3r v2.

I followed advice and feedback gave here by fellow anons and worked on version 2 to made it harder over all with more enemies, less corner camping and backtracking.

Maybe it needs more work on different difficulties balance and it is possible that there are some little bugs.

If your map comes in a pk3, simply put the wad (or the contents of the PK3 if it comes in a pk3) into your pk3
If your map is a wad, just put the contents of the wad inside of your wad

How do you choose what specific monster sets to fight against? I either get the enemies from the respective character's game, every enemy at once, or Berzerk enemies.

>>6607428
Go into the monster settings, disable sets you *don't* want to fight, and then pick the option that is neither random cycle or class based spawns i forgot the name

>>6605440
This felt pretty good to play. Since I didn't load the texture pack with it (whoops) I didn't really have the luxury of hunting for secrets, so without extra supplies, it was still doable though I let a lot of infighting take place.

The screenshotted area let me really take the piss out of the caco and pains since none of them could move or shoot past the switch walls. Maybe move the switches to the other side to keep this from being a camping spot, though you also might have to raise the floor to keep filthy modern sourceport players from jumping up.

Speaking of sourceports players, there is the area after the yellow door with the revnents in the mud, that area might keep the player from entering safely or attacking all thanks to infinitely tall monsters blocking player movement in vanilla Doom engine. I just hung back and some of them went up the stairs but that makes for kind of a bland fight.

As far as the cyberdemons went, instead of running out and going for the invuln like I probably should have (and finding the bfg perhaps) I stayed in the room and fired plasma, since the cyberdemons' rockets fired just low enough that they exploded right in front of them they were somewhat ineffective, though one did manage to get shoved back enough that a rocket got fired into the room, which I did have to dodge.

Still, overall the pace was nice and it did take me awhile to figure out what to do because i didn't have textured loaded but that is on me. Just have to fine tune certain encounters and I'd say you have a pretty solid map.

>>6607465
I wanted to have the switches facing that way so the player can immediately see what they do, but I didn't want them to create a camping opportunity. I'll have to think about this. Making the floor hurt is one way of fixing it but it seems too blunt.

The revenants should never block the player because they shouldn't rise up until the player jumps down. Or did they block you when you were coming back after getting the plasma?

>>6604857
it took me a few days to finish the first three flesh maps. those maps are small and linear but the fights are pretty tough

>>6607393
But I did that already, that's how I'm using Gothic textures in my map. Is there a different way to do this?

>>6607605
You can load texture pack wads or any other pwads separately as resources when loading a map in the map editor.

>>6607589
It's possible to react to the platforms rising before dropping into the room, (particularly with me using a mouselook sourceport) which I confirmed by playing through again. This time I went a bit faster and skipped killing a lot of monsters, died a couple of times, eventually getting blown up by a rev rocket because I didn't clean them out of the bottom center area.

I found the megaarmor in the library this time around. I was in a hurry, I wasn't going to spend too much time hunting for secrets, but they seemed to elude a basic search.

>>6606963

I've been listening to so much Judas Priest lately. I had always thought some of the songs I had heard were good, but I never really pursued the rest of the discography, and I really wish I had sooner, because this shit is excellent. Robert Halford is a vocalist of legend, but much of the talent that makes the music so good also goes to people like Glenn Tipton and others, because the guitar, drums, backing vocals, along with lyrics and songwriting, it's all so incredibly good.

I wish I had sat down to listen to all of it before.

Are any of Romero's old Doom Usenet posts preserved? I would love to read some of the exchanges he had and he was supposedly very active on Usenet and IRC interacting with fans.. Sometimes too much, instead of doing work.

I would love to read some of his posts circa 93/94/95 or even better would be IRC logs from that era. Masters of Doom mentions him being on IRC chat with fans alot.

"Caliginous Cauldron" by Washing Machine Enthusiasts.

This is a release candidate version of cauldron.wad, meaning I'm still open to making further changes but I consider it good enough to be released if no further changes are necessary/recommended.

I've included GOTHICTX in the zip so playtesters don't have to go hunting.

>>6607679
I've moved out the line raising the skellies so they don't raise until you drop into the water. That will prevent anyone getting trapped.

As well as adding some more detail, I've made these changes:
>activating the switches now lowers the switches into the ground as well, so you can't hide behind them
>the yellow door is blocked off behind you so you have to take the long way around (this is necessary for progression anyway, it just stops people from getting confused)
>the central pillars without keys raise to the ceiling near the end of the map to provide LoS blocking for players hanging around to kill archies/cybies

>>6608269
>>6570917

This is for 2048 units of /vr/ if it wasn't clear.

If my 2048 map is in two halves, is it ok if I move the second half away some distance from the first one, just to make sure you won't hear any possible noise from the first half?

>>6608269
Pretty good effort anon. I hate to bust your balls, but when the key pillars lower, it creates a strange effect in the floor due to the lack of textures. Not sure how well it comes across in my screenshot, but it's noticeable during gameplay.

Yeah, it's harder to see the switch with textures on. I wanted to make it pretty early in the level so you don't just brute force the spiders with the shotgun, but making the starting area more of a clusterfuck might make the telefrag more important.

>>6608884
>Is there a way that I can generate an autoexec.cfg
Create a new text document, rename it autoexec.cfg. Not sure why you would need one. I have one for Adventures of Square - for some reason, I can't bind crouch/swim down and jump/swim up to the same keys in GZDoom, so some anon gave a code to put in autoexec to do it for me

>make a my settings go from game specific to global settings
It should automatically do that. I have two versions of GZDoom in separate folders so that I don't have to always change my settings whenever I switch from one to the other - though I don't even use GZDoom for anything non-Adventures of Square related these days anyway

I would make the switch stay on if you know what I mean. Becuase the light turns off it gives the impression it's a temporary switch like the blue sphere
secret switch in that same area. If it stays on permanently like the lion buttons then you know you've opened something permanent.

My very first one was just poorly conceived, but otherwise, not really. I once realized I don't actually like the core idea of my map and cut it short but it was still passable.

>>6609123
For me it was more about realizing that going from a STARTAN box to a fun and detailed level is a shit ton of work. Stuff you implement early on can be a pain to replace, and sometimes ideas are hard to abandon even if it would make the map better.

Should I balance my submission around continuous play (i.e. pistol start = barely beatable on UV) or pistol start?

Pistol start.

>>6609204
Always balance your map so that it's beatable from pistol start.

So I'm playing through Doom II with Guncaster Vindicated, and I'm loving except for one thing: WHY WAS THE BFG NERFED SO BADLY?!?!?! The Rail Gun is so much more powerful than the BFG that I feel embarrassed for it. The BFG is so ineffectual against bosses that it's not even worth wasting the ammo on them. I can fire a very well-aimed BFG blast on a boss with a big health bar and just sit back and watch their health bar slowly tick down and not even take out a quarter of their health, but then whip out the Rail Gun and one-hit kill them... WTF?!

Is this bad? I haven't mapped in a while and I don't really know that much about how node building works but this doesn't look right

I tried changing from Quakespasm to QSS and it seems to work great but for some reason it doesn't start a new game through the menu, did I do anything wrong? I can start with the console and save/load properly but I'm curious why it doesn't work.

Strict continuous balance only works if you know exactly what the map order is going to be, what the maps previous to yours will include and design accordingly, which can be a fair bit of work, especially in community projects where changes made by others can easily throw your balancing efforts off.
Also, being just barely beatable on pistol start isn't guaranteed when balancing for strict continuous. Can just as easily result in a map so dependent on resources from previous levels, that there's nowhere near enough for pistol starts to even be possible anymore.
Better to just balance for pistol starts. Much easier, as it allows you to focus on just looking at your own map, and has the added bonus and making it far more replayable for people who like to warp/idclev to specific levels.

Episode 3 when? Damn it.

>>6609631
One bit of advice I heard is to balance UV around pistol start with all secrets found. That way it will also be balanced around UV continuous with no secrets. So long as you balance HMP around pistol start with no secrets, everyone has a way to play.

>>6609901
I'm new to mapping but the idea of balancing to rely on secrets sounds unfair to me

>>6609123
Same here, but even worse is half way through I realized the more modern method is using UDMF format instead of Hexen format. Sure I'm glad I can now move my floor and ceiling textures but all that work wasted.

>>6610114
You don't have to play on UV. It should be a challenge, not the default. I know that's not a commonly held opinion, but I personally try to break away from the mentality of every map needing to be UV maxable blind. The tradeoff is of course that some or most players will never see all of your map, so you have to be ok with that.

>TNT: MAP31, can be completed legitimately without the patch
I was too lazy to redo the level with the patch, so I just looked up how to glitch it by standing in that one specific spot. I never bothered to figure out how that worked.

Switches are actually lines that extend infinitely vertically. You don't actually need to see the button to press it, as long as you got line of sight on those coordinates at all. You can experience the same thing in the side room in Entryway.

>>6610614
Oh yeah. I do that Entryway thing all the time, I just forgot that the trick is applied to TNT31, since I haven't touched it in forever. All I remember is staring at a giant gray chair and shuffling side to side while spamming use.

Unironically rootpain.wad been trying to find the original, then the 2nd upload. Can't get either anymore all links are dead.

Revisiting my Maulotaur upgrade, decided he needs a few more degrees of fuck you added. Might scale him back just a bit.

>>6610723
Where I am now it's quite a few degrees hotter.

>>6610768
that rapid fire claw looks too weird animation-wise. Frame reducing look fine for chaingun, but not for this.
Maybe change that weapon entirely? There are some nice assets on Resources forums on ZDoom.
Maybe an ice staff of some kind?

Another thing - Maulotaur launched fireballs while player was in the air, butlaunched directly at player.
Maybe make it lounch fireballs towards where player would be when they'd hit? Would take a bit of math, but I think something like that (the shot prediction) was also on the forums

>>6610847
The weapons mod is a few years old, and is specifically focused on Heretic's weapons. Don't have any plans to replace any of the weapons in it, though animation overhauls are something that I have been working on over the years, and the Dragon Claw is certainly one of them.

As for the projectiles, that is somewhat by design: The fireballs detonate and spray embers everywhere on contact, so if they end up going over the players head and hit a wall behind them, its still plenty dangerous. Part of why I don't want to use predictive tracking is because it would make a volley of 5 fireballs considerably more impossible to strafe around. that said, I HAVE considered having him go straight into the groundfire after knocking the player away to both prevent the normal fireballs and create a situation thats very difficult to dodge, but I havent quite decided yet. Might make it an optional CVAR.

If I recall correctly, Adrian Carmack worked in hospital and the gore sprites are based on the stuff he saw there. Like that impaled human is from his recollection of some farmer who got impaled in the crotch with metal rod or something.

If Only someone could make one for Q2 Using some of Doom 3's tilesets, Q1 AD stuff and Q4.
We need to do something new that isnt Q1 or D2 all time til the point of repetitive boredom.

Q2 in my opinion would go like this
>Underground cave facility With Q1 monsters, Strogg Slipgate experiment with Death Knights and Berserkers
>Space Station Hub, Metroid Fusion Style.
>Ancient castle, Strogg using time machines(A Mod exists for it, i just forgot the name)

Okay, my submission is more or less ready. I'm going to run it past my producer, then I upload it here for testing, and after fixing it according to feedback I will implement difficulty levels and upload a final version.

unlikely. trenchcoats were pretty popular among certain groups of high school students long before the events of Columbine.
