Half-Life

Best wad for when you have food poisoning?

>>6620530
Cyb's Freaky Colonoscopy

The dripping/fire effects remind me of the art for darkest dungeon

>>6620438
Misalignment aren't excusable past 1996.

>>6620584
why don't you go hang out on the zdoom forums?

>>6620585
Go fetishize 1994 era pwad nonsense.

>>6620584
It ain't no thang, 'cause my computer says it's 1987

>>6620513
thats one detailed garbage pile

A couple years ago, I was playing Unloved (the mod, not the shitty Steam trash). I don’t remember how far I got, but I do remember my dad calling me in the middle of it to tell me my grandmother had died.
Fast-forward a couple months, and I had started another run of Unloved, this time beating the whole thing, and not 15 minutes after, my dad came into my room to tell me that my grandfather’s heart had stopped.

My other grandfather just got put in hospice two days ago, should I run it again to put him out of his misery?

>>6620594
Never play it again so he'll be immortal.

Wait, are all maps in 2048 units pistol start? I assumed they are and balanced my map that way. Also, what about skyboxes?

>>6620610
I put up some. Lead guy seemed to like one or two of them. I could maybe toy around with a few assets and see if I come up with anything fitting.

I also patched together a shotgun reskin, if anyone thinks it would work.

>>6620147
>>6620516
Yet another update to my 2048 map (Black Crest) and hopefully the last one.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/niubjo3v0shc546/Black%20Crest%20v4.wad?dl=0

>>6620593
I wanted the garbage to look good. Also I wanted the slime to look like the green hurt sauce.

>>6620619
Alright, I removed the city from that one sky, and colored it to looks slightly "Plutonia" colored. Would this work as an 'E3' sky?

>>6620720
What if it was purple

>>6620723
And black. Like, a black sky with a purple nebula.

>>6620723
I mean, be my guest, but Doom's palette has like, five shades of purple or something, it'll look like a washed out mess in software mode.

Based Half Life making Doomfags eternally seethe.

>>6620728
You do that, I assembled the sky texture basically from this Doom 3 texture...

>>6620732

>>6620728
And this texture, which is made from...

>>6620742
Oh... I'm too drunk to have noticed the faces in the original image you posted.

>>6620746
... this photo (wasn't tiled by me).

>>6620732
This looks really cool.

>>6620732
HURK

>>6620732
>>6620761
Yeah, and if we were doing truecolor, we could go with that, but since this is being used for Boom, and presumably the standard palette, this is what the sky will look like.

>>6620767
Yeah, might just stick with the red one.

>>6620771
Potentially we could stick the purple one in the brightmaps .pk3 or something.

>>6620746
>>6620756
Textures sourced from several photos of my body parts ended up in a commercial game. I find that amusing to this day.

>>6620778
That's cool, which bodyparts, and which game?

>35 minutes to get the testing level to work in doom builder

This is going great.

Also paletted this sky, if anyone thinks it would work for the E1 part. What would we do for an E2 sky, night time with stars?

How do I make a wall appear as a sky texture?
How do I change the sky texture?

I want the level to appear as if you are standing on a giant platform of Doom

>>6620810
Yeah, I like it. Could add some purple to a black sky for E2...

>>6620821
I could try, but as I told you, Doom has VERY few shades of purple, I'm not sure how it'll translate, and I'm not sure how to work around the exact limitation.

>>6620785
At least my face and my arms
Kingpin, which I did game testing on

>>6620619
Can we change pistol sound as well? Also, I have provided some music with one of my wads, will it be used?

>>6620610
Only way to force pistol start is to have a death exit. Always balance your map for pistol starts regardless. Since it's a community project, you have no way of knowing what map comes before yours.

>>6620861
Damn, I did an archvile encounter that makes more sense if the player hasn't got the SSG yet

>>6620851
If you have provided music, it should be included in the final .wad. For pistol sound, what would we use for that? DN3D pistol sound? PSX Doom pistol sound?

Here's a status bar I made a bit before the project even began that just happened to use a gothic theme, it's kind of amateurish though. If you like it I'll make a separate post with credits for assets used but this is more for novelty.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/03ykv4fk67e1llo/hudgoth.wad/file

Brutal Doom.

>>6620885
>If you have provided music, it should be included in the final .wad
I mean, I've included several extra tracks, for submissions that don't provide their own music. Some people expressed the opinion that it would be a good idea to replace all the vanilla music.
>DN3D pistol sound? PSX Doom pistol sound?
Is not familiar with PSX Doom, but I used Duke pistol as a replacement in one of my previous WADs, worked fine.

So, like how much practice did it take to get competent at making .wads?

>>6620815
You have to use a separate sector as a wall and set it's ceiling to the F_SKY texture, the upper part of this sector appears as the sky texture so you can lower it to have a wall with a sky texture. If you're making a vanilla map you have to put a replacement sky image in the wad. If you're making a Boom (actually MBF, but it's compatible with Prboom+ anyway) compatible map you can use the transfer sky linedef action, although I don't really know how to use it myself. If it's a Zdoom map then it's probably just a simple Mapinfo edit, but this I haven't done myself too.

>>6620767
Doesn't Prboom+ support PNG graphics? So we could have a purple sky without converting it to the Doom palette.

>>6620915
been mapping for six years and people are still pointing out "basic mistakes" with my stuff, so idk, I guess longer than that

>>6620834
neat.
though when you said "body parts" I thought it might have been a Shock2-type deal where they sourced textures from composer's colonoscopy

>>6620915
I can't say I'm great at it right now, but about one botched map and a few weeks of botching it.

>>6620921
>Doesn't Prboom+ support PNG graphics?
Does it?

>>6620810
Post one with a transparent background.

Why do normalfags love HL1 so much?.

Do you guys have favorite places you like putting specific monsters?

>>6621078
Ok, but why? This is the Deimos mountains, colored gray.

>>6621113
So all of us can play along.

>>6621082
It's inoffensive

>>6621118
It ruined the fps genre and it's objectively inferior to it's contemporaries.

>>6621098

Alright, the new shotgun.

Boom!
Here's the sound I put together, it's mixed together from Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior sound effects. I think it sounds nice.

I was pretty conservative with the muzzleflash, because I was afraid that the palette would just wash out what I usually do, but I think this works.

>>6621113
So we can make Deimos-t of it.

And a shot of the thing cocking.

>>6621161

>>6621162
Looks nice overall but the hand is kind of strange in this pic, looks elongated on the left.

Here's the sheet of sprites themselves.
The base shotgun and muzzle flashes are the original Doom ones, the perforated heatshield over the barrel was made by Mike12, I'm pretty sure, as is the plastic stock piece.
The pickup graphic is the Doom shotgun as well, I just put on the barrel shroud, colored the pump-slide gray, and gave it a pistolgrip instead of a stock, because it looks different, and who really cares about 'practical' for vanilla Doom.

Feel free to use, for whatever, even, if you want to improve it, be my guest, perhaps you can make the pump-slide look more suitably plastic-y.

>>6621178
I kind of noticed something like that, and downplayed it some, but I guess it's still there. I was honestly lazy as fuck and just grabbed a sheet from TSR, so maybe it's some bullshit they did. I know the people there used to elongate monster sprites upwards, as a way to 'watermark' the sprites, because a lot of sprite rippers are dipshits who think extracting images with SLADE is deserving of credit.

>>6621178
nvm, it's exactly the same as the original sprite. Now I'll never unsee that when firing the shotgun

>>6608524
This guy still around?

>>6621154
I'm a fuckwit, here's the sound effect: https://files.catbox.moe/x5t4wr.wav

>>6621161
>>6621165

>>6621215
The pump sound is pretty good, though the firing sound is a little quiet. Might seem better in game though

I'm thinking about making a titlepic for the 2048 project, that's okay or nay?

>>6621278
We already got one, aren't we?

>>6621278
You could make a BOSSBACK. Or if you know how to, an ENDDOOM. Actually, we don't have an M_DOOM, I think.

>>6621248
Well, it sounds alright to me. I'll compile the shotgun into a separate .wad file and upload it here.

>ok im gonna make a map
>Check tutorial
>1 hour later
>I have one room and a door

Yeah, I don't have the patience for this shit. Good luck, boys.

>>6621313
It took you one hour to make a room and a door? Come the fuck on. Was it the most elaborate room in the universe?

>>6621143

>>6621335
Some people just have issues with the doors. I sure did.

>>6621313
>>6621335
Honestly it took me roughly the same amount of time to play around and get a feeling on how linedefs and sectors exactly work, don't give up anon, it'll get easy once you get the basics.

>>6621312
Alright, here, give it a try, those who want to:
https://files.catbox.moe/piu61m.wad

>>6621351
Seriously I fucked up a lot.

>>6621351
>>6621360
Fucking up sky ceilling is normal but what the fuck is going on with door cube?

>>6621351
how did you manage to do that

>>6621353
Holy shit I loaded this up in prboom+ and the shotgun sound is earrape.

>>6621364
>>6621365
I am not a clever man.

>>6621367
Well, I don't know what to do about that.

>>6621351
A door action makes a door raise to a level a bit lower than the height of the nearby ceiling, it's raised up to the sky since the nearby ceiling is the sky. No idea why you would place a door over a wall like that though.

>>6621371
Check if that floor which makes the player sprite go higher is slightly raised compared to the other part of the floor, if it's raised and there's no lower textures set then the two parts might appear to be at the same level due to the untextured wall glitching up.

>>6621335
Not him but if you're just starting out it can take a minute to get a handle on the grid: I just started this weekend and my observation is that if you don't know EXACTLY what you're doing with a room you can kill a lot of time just slicing and joining sectors. I still have some problems even in this shot with the lighting where the pillars pass over the ledges that I think are being caused by adjacent sectors. But I told myself I can go back and clean-up if I actually fill the 2048x2048 in several days time. I don't think I'm gonna have something worthwhile to contribute either. My sense of space seems pretty bad. Considering how nice some of the contributions to date are I don't want to bog up the collection.

I'm trying to make a boss encounter for the project as my first map. The gimmick is that the arena slowly gets smaller and smaller as you get closer to the center, but the floor falls away too quickly, and I also need a lot more surface area to fight in. Which action do I select to make the floor fall away less quickly?

>>6621396
Oh this was years ago, anon. I actually managed to fix these issues, though I never finished the map.

>>6621402
You could try using voodoo doll trickery to make the floor fall after a delay. Make a scrolling floor voodoo doll area and lower the ceiling slightly to stop the voodoo doll, make the line raise the ceiling to release the voodoo doll. Place the linedef triggering the falling floor somewhere at the end, the longer this scrolling tunnel is the longer the delay is, of course. Set the scrolling linedef on a different dummy sector, since the length of the linedef with the scrolling action influences the speed of the scrolling floor (the longer the line the faster the scroller goes)

>>6621353
>>6621367
>>6621372
https://files.catbox.moe/eo6950.wad
How about now?

>>6621351
WHAT DID YOU DO?!

>>6621425
He'd need Boom for this, or something, which would just probably enable him to use slower movement speed.

>>6621441
I DON'T KNOW OKAY? IT WAS MY FIRST MAP

>>6621450
Well, at least something soaring into sky like this is cool. With sky ceiling you can do a lot of fun things, but you can't approach them.

>>6621461
Actually meant to post this, but it seems to only be on youtube and not as webm in my files.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_aQa-7D48E

>>6620594
Try Unloved 2 this time, maybe it'll break the curse.

>>6621082
>>6621126
don't you have MOBAs to be playing, arsjac?

>Like Hunted but you are crushed to 1 hp at the start and revenants are everywhere

Would I get death threats over it?

>>6621484
Stop giving him attention you fucking idiot.

I like that now have multiple drawfriends.

>>6621486
Maybe don't crush the player down to that. Perhaps just make him run over a couple of hurtfloors here and there.

>>6621492
Do the hurtfloors with keys that unlock doors with health behind them.

>>6621461
If only that thing would start spewing cacos and pain elemetals.

>>6621313
OK it took you an hour to learn a door. Now take am hour to learn lifts. Then another hour to learn teleports. After that you can build pretty much anything you want

>>6621492
Any dumbass can make a normal map with revenants. I dare to dream big.

>>6621498
Well, anyone can hide in the pit. 128 units is enough to let 40-units wide monster out, but no more, so it can be arch-vile's baement if you are so inclined. Or with some effort, just sit there in the fake ceiling.

>>6621285
I haven't seen it yet

God I sure hope my maps don't have any tagged door actions left. That was pretty embarassing to realize I don't need them several weeks in.

>>6621546

Alright, what about now? I uploaded it through Discord this time because Catbox was being a cunt:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/535235566476853259/734871955215351828/2048SHOT.wad

Also, monsters on conveyors and teleport lines doesn't work, right?

>>6621573
Yeah that works pretty well in game.

>>6621573
Still destroying my ears.

Do we really need to add guns and stuff to wad? Anyone interested in replacement graphics or sounds could do it by themselves.

I have no idea what im doing

>>6621580
Is anyone else having this problem? Is it only in PrBoom+? I don't really know what to do about it.

>>6621571
Here's a better version that I remade almost from the ground up, the old one looked like shit because the game resized it and I didn't know any better when making it.

>>6621601
Mining fireblu apparently.

>>6621601
>>6621607
Don't forget to run the fireblu on the ceiling through an inset window of a pipe with a scroll effect so it looks like it's being pumped into another part of the facility.

damn I love fireblu

>>6621604
Resized him a little so that the room appears to be squishing him more. Any more suggestions feel free to say.

>>6621636
Can you clean blood off the doomguy?

>>6621636
Can you make the letters in "/vr/" lowercase so it looks proper?

>6619118
isn't it just a simple texture flip?

>>6621584
I mean, pistol replacement is a given, considering how crappy the vanilla pistol sound is. I don't know about shotgun, though - I think default shotgun works fine, and wooden finish go better with gothic textures.

>>6621580
Can anyone who knows sound stuff better perhaps give insight on what's the problem here? I'd love to address it.

>>6621584
Honestly I just made them because I had fun making them and wanted to see if anyone else wanted them. We can always make it (yet another) separate .wad file packaged with the megawad, and then whoever feels like it can just load it up themselves, just like with the brightmaps.

It'll depend on what the lead says, I guess.

>>6621705
I'm kind of fine with the original pistol sound, I threw the Duke one in because you asked.

>>6621482
Unloved 2 never got finished, that’s the real secret of immortality

>>6621398
With the older /vr/ projects I threw my hat in the ring not because I was an experienced mapper or wanted to become one, but I had enough knowledge to make a basic map that also was an anime girl. I couldn't do mapart this time but I did want to add a custom decoration object, but didn't really have time to (turns out the deadline got extended anyway).

Maybe I'd add in that custom object decoration now that there's a week but I'm not sure if it would be ok. I know not all sourceports work or parse things the same way and there might be compatibility issues. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

>>6621636
>the room appears to be squishing him more
I tought doomguy was shouting or something

>>6621601
Even if you don't know how to map at all, the room does look pretty neat. If that doortrak texture is set to scroll horizonally that drill room will definitely catch some attention

>>6621787
>walls are closing in

yeah, i felt kinda claustrophobic with the small corridors I had to make and go thru thanks to space conservation needs.

>>6621402
The tutorial I seen in YouTube had far more options than this which included value for speed and shit. Maybe an older verison or there's more advanced options hidden away in settings

>>6621441
Don't forget the revenant popping up

>>6621801
There's a difference between Doom and Boom.

>>6621636
Properly resized Doomguy sprite without blur or artifacts. Also cleaned the blood off of his sprite.
>>6621649 Doom doesn't have lowercase text but I could use a different font.

>>6621484
Tell me how does it feel this board hates so much your game that you have to make this shit https://sys.4channel.org/derefer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarosu.org%2Fvr%2Fthread%2F6621493 as a coping mechanism?

>>6621849
Might help if I posted the picture.

>>6621806
Don't enjoy drawing those boners.

We're doing a megawad?

Is Crater from TNT just plain unfinished? The eponymous crater is just a vast nothingness with 4 monsters and there's also a random maze with nothing in it but a few imps.

>>6621584
I agree with this - plus everyone is so used to the original sounds that any replacement is going to be at least a little off-putting and distracting.

Does anyone knows why can't I toss dying monsters into teleporter? Exploding barrel pushing monsters into teleports seems to work fine in Doom 2 format, but in Boom it's a green flash but corpse doesn't arrive.

>>6621963
Nevermind, now it works. Great mystery is afoot. Is it barrel collision or something?

>>6621898
Big... dumb... calcium freaks.

>>6621937
Yes. You still have until the 26th, we have 23 maps already, and the maps have to one way or another fit inside a 2048x2048 space.

Why did you rig this poll?

Holy fuck. Someone get Decino on the case!

>>6622490
This would be better with some non-euclidean geometry.

Misalignments add to the charm. You're too autistic or got some bad OCD if you worry that much about them.
>past 1996
If I were to hold that zoomer position of yours, I'd say they're excusable until Doom Builder, since that's most likely when 3D views of levels were most reliable.

>>6622490
Playing with decals on is cheating

>>6622601
ha!
weak

>>6620516
I've slightly updated my 2048 map (Roundabout Cliffside) with some small detail changes and added an extra pinky to a teleport destination on HMP + UV.
Also the map creator should be credited as SandSculker.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxvv8a7bfgwe2v9/roundabout_cliffside.wad?dl=0

>>6622518
Can't send them in until September 1st. I'll have to set a reminder, because the idea of him playing this pretentious WAD is making me laugh pretty hard.

>>6621464
Remember seeing some of these sky tricks in Kama Sutra. Surprised more wads don't make use of 'em. Surprised more wads don't make use of more advanced stuff like overall, like Boom's colored sectors, silent teleporters, underwater effect, etc.

>>6622618
"Okay... Hm. What is t-- Oh. Oh, this is awful."

>>6622618
If you get Decino to play this then I'll actually finish my strife wad.

>>6622684
We should all send the same wad to him under different names and filesizes.

>>6620590
1994 wads were bad for far more and bigger reasons than just texture misalignments.

>>6620584
Traditionally, misaligned textures are used for secret doors, that doesn't trigger you, right?

>>6622846
Not him, but a lot of modern wads I found tend to use hidden switches, or a slightly different texture/object to break away from an established pattern of the room, over simple texture misalignment for secrets anymore.

Voxels are the future.

>>6622861
I myself am partial to the obscure shootable switch in a dark corner opposite a window, pic related.

>>6622862
I'm sorry, but that looks ugly as sin since it clashes so much

Does anyone have an archive of the previous versions of AEOD?

>>6621771
The most annoying part is that Unloved 1/2 have great senses of style and Unloved the Retail Game could've been a good looter shooter. Alas.

>>6622862
That looks super cool.

I started the map up with notarget to show the example, didn't want to go through all the bs to get to the spot.

>>6622880
I attack the darkness!

>>6622932
Shooting the wall reveals a switch outside the building. With no clear way to press the switch by hand, it looks like you have to shoot that aswell.

The armed zombies standing nearby don't seem to mind, ignoring, or perhaps even unaware of your presence.

I want to make some reasonably-low-poly weapon models for Doom and Quake.
I know some theory, but have no actual practical experience.
What are some tutorials (if any) that focus on making models and aimations in low poly style?

>>6623086
Descent is underrated

Can you guys point me to examples of custom enemies that do a lot of zig-zagging, dodging, and even deflecting attacks and generally forcing you to lead your shots rather than assuming that they will stay in place? I was thinking something like the evil marines in Scythe 2.

>>6623154
For quake try this.

>>6620915
Depends what you mean by 'competent', but if you know doom's mechanics well but can't bust out a fun 5 minute level in a week you're basically retarded.
Making it *look* good, however, requires you to have at least some kind grasp on art, aesthetics and design. Not saying you need to have attended art class, but if you've never been artistically inclined this is probably where you're going to struggle the most.
Doombuilder can be learned in a matter of hours unless you want to get into the scripting side of things, but you'd never need that for your average doom level.

>>6620516
Have a tiny PLAYPAL tweak named Bitter.
Kinda muted. Kinda moody. Goes great with fancy brightmaps and/or similar visual effects. Should work just fine with vanilla ports or even the DOS exe.

Anyone knows what might be causing SLADE's map editor to shit itself or fuck up the map when merging vertices? I thought it was the fault of the nodebuilder so I tried using both Zdbsp and Zennode but it didn't make any difference.

I'm 28, I'm older than plenty of posters here, and I'll stand by it; there's no good reason to not align your textures when you're using modern tools.

>>6623548
>He doesn't make wall out of 8 units long linedefs, all aligned to zero and textured with STARTAN
What's it like to be lame?

>>6622846
Shifting a texture to indicate a secret door isn't what I would do personally, as I think it usually looks too obvious, but I also don't think it's bad either (hell, you don't even need that door to open by just touching it, the shifted texture can just indicate that there's something there).

That said, I will not hold a lack of alignment against people in circumstances where their tools were far less advanced and userfriendly, and where they didn't have the time to do, what would have been regarded as very extra fine polish.
Sandy didn't always get texture alignment that well, but mind that his first time around he was one of the very first people to A), make levels like those he did, B), had 10 weeks to do it, C), the game was still not really finished and specs and assets would change as he was making levels, and D), the overall field of first person shooters was VERY young at the time and he was one of its pioneers.
For Doom 2, he had some experience, but the window of time was still brief, he ran out of Tom's leftovers, his workload increased, and the specs and assets of the game would still end up changing some as he was making the levels, also he had to make some sacrifices in his design for the sake of lower end computers. This was also all while he was contributing in many other ways.

I probably admire Sandy the very most out of the mappers at iD, but YOU are not in his suspenders, YOU don't have the excuse to NOT align YOUR textures, especially not when Doombuilder has let you do that with the press of a button ever since it was released. UNLESS you're specifically aiming for something that's supposed to look 1993 or 1995 era, like Doom The Way iD Did It.

Anyone looked into this? https://github.com/MadDeCoDeR/Classic-RBDOOM-3-BFG
Is it basically for Doom1/2 to run in the Doom 3 engine? Or have I misunderstood something?

Oh well, I was wrong, I should have tested the map in software mode too, since there were some visual bugs. I've updated the map again but the download link stays the same (Black Crest v4) since I've just updated the file this time.

>>6623574
Imagine if there was no Sandy on id, Doom would take longer and Doom II would be released after quake if at all considering the pace of the other mappers. He delivered loads of good maps while the others were slacking or inflating their egos.

>>6622490
As the author: Trust me, I know damn well it's pretentious bullshit; the purpose of the level was to convince an art history professor that doom levels had artistic merit first, and be a good doom level second. Which, to be fair, got me an A.

This said, the contents of the secret are absolutely me just taking the piss.

>>6623836
Art snobs are the worst.

>>6623836
To be honest it's a presentation of bad game design more than anything.
Hazardous floors that look just like normal floors, a curved hallway with just a baron in it, walls that are - for all intents and purposes - invisible, which makes them get in your way when trying to dodge, and so on.
I think it might have worked better as its own game rather than a Doom wad. The problem with doing it in Doom is that everyone knows Doom well and has pretty sound expectations starting a level. The map didn't give me the feeling that I get when looking at a blank canvas, it was an exercise in prolonged mild annoyance instead.

I'd love to see a Doom mod used in an art piece of some kind. I'm certain it'd be possible to to make it fun and not just pretentious art bullshit at the same time.

>>6624067
The blank canvas wasn't even that bad of an idea. The execution was just horrible.

>>6624067
You can't have art that is both enjoyable and accepted by art people. At very best you can make a mod where you are [insert something woke] and killing [insert something that is not woke], but make it actually fun to play. Even then they may complain that fun gameplay distracts from the important message. The only winning move is not to play.

>accepted by art people
Those kinds of 'art people' don't actually really like art, they're just pseudo intellectuals who want to come across as sophisticated. They don't care about the advanced craft that goes into the fine detail of some old French gothic cathedral (nor the calculations and effort put into it from just a structural sense), they don't care about effort or aesthetics that goes into whatever is visual, even if actually novel or unusual.

You can pour blood, sweat, and tears into making a map for Doom which isn't just absolutely stunning to look at, but has novel and fun gameplay (an art in itself), all simply because you wanted to make something you think would be really good, and those kinds of people will scoff at it and disregard it. They're pretty much the Videogame Journalists of aesthetics and crafts, they're not people who have worthwhile input into the subject, and you shouldn't give them the time of your day, who you should actually consult and look towards for input and approval is your peers in your interest. Some socialist art teacher who thinks all art must serve a 'worthwhile political purpose' will never tell you anything of value about a Doom map.

Gameplay-wise they are both far surpassed by mods, Doom 1 however has more consistent aesthetic.

lilith.pk3 takes too much player awareness of the Doom engine to work for the pureblood academic art crowd. Even with a map-designer's awareness of how to navigate a level it's still somewhat disorienting and difficult to do, that bars a lot of casual entry.

On the other hand I could see it going down not necessarily with the institution but some of the incidental offshoots. Doom in general and lilith.pk3 in particular starts working as an image for accelerationism; hauntology; the vaporwave communities.

But still again maybe I'm out of touch and these things are already closer to the main artery of the institutional art community than I think.

Actually, doesn't Boom support .mp3 files? If I just made the sound as an .mp3 file I wouldn't have to fuck with the bitrate or anything, and it wouldn't distort, right?

AWWW! TO FUCK WITH IT! I'll just skip that entire shotgun thing as is, and then after the 2048 release I'll just do a quick Decorate thing as a separate addon, where I can define my own sounds and animation frames (but basically the same weapon behavior), and use truecolor.

>>6625309
I learned how to make a decent looking map with an array of functional objects (doors, monster closets, lifts etc.) and clever secrets with a solid day's work (~8-10 hours) on and off with no mapping experience, and I'm a pretty slow learner when it comes to creative design. IMO it's the easiest aspect of modding, compared to spritework which is one of the hardest and why you see so many reused sprites, frankensteined sprites, or ones that are just plain bad.

I want you take a moment to observe how rapidly this community has taken to try and assuage your concerns about this. But since this is a Scandinavian team roping hobbyist forum I'm going to assume you have some psychological problems that you don't take many precautions in effectively thinking about.

Let's assume you're correct and mapping is too hard. Instead of focusing on the difficulty of the act lets think about how it makes you feel. Do you like doing it? Are you having a bad time actually trying to learn how to map or are you simply frustrated you aren't getting the results you want out of a few hours of trying it out? Have you put more than 12 hours into it yet? Have you given yourself any realistic goals?

Frankly I'm in the same spot you are, I haven't produced anything good and I think the difficulty is distracting. But you probably haven't given yourself enough time or clear goals to try and achieve. Try thinking about mapping as a fun project rather than means to producing your own masterpiece. Your mindset dictates whether you keep at it or not: not the actual or perceived difficulties.

>>6625502
Agreed on Eviternity.

>>6625530
Making stuff for Strife is much less straightforward, and I'm not sure people have the same understanding of its gameplay as they do Doom. Mind also that Strife isn't designed for a set of separate levels which don't interconnect, the game is built entirely around hubs which connect very strongly and has a mostly linear progression.
I do not think we would have the cohesion and planning necessary to do a proper set of levels for Strife like that here on the board, a group of people from here would have to get together and work out a plan and stay in touch over an extended period of time.

It really is way easier to just make a self-contained level for Doom and just packing it into a set. Not that I want to discourage Strife content.

>>6625919
Agreed, but complaining about textures being perfectly aligned is obnoxious as well. I get the complaints about detail that you can get caught on or is visually confusing, but how is perfect alignment distracting?

Irrespective of my thoughts on Sunlust's gameplay, I don't see any issues with how it looks. Unless you want everything to be frozen in 1995 for some reason.

>>6625934
You're repeating the same arguments.

Valiant is one of the most fun wads I've ever played. Loved all of its new monsters, and the super chaingun is a blast to use. Can't think of any maps that stick out as bad. Just overall solid, and can see why it's popular.
Eviternity is alright, but it definitely is a bit overhyped. I'm not the biggest fan of some of the new monsters (nightmare demons are so boring), and MAP19 was just an absolute drag to play. I think a lot of people in the community just consider it their favourite right now because of a mix of recency bias and OTEX being a phenomenal texture set.

>>6626020
Not sure if thats even possible with Doom engine.

>>6626020

>>6625502
Valiant is legitimately phenomenal and worth its praise. Eviternity is just a watered-down Struggle with a new texturepack.

>>6626169
thanks

>>6626110
Warning: Incoming autism. I don't find Eviternity and Struggle to be similar. I'm only 1/3 into Struggle but to this point it seems to differ in significant ways. Struggle favors more claustrophobic spaces than Eviternity. There are less arena situations in Struggle and less opportunities to strafe around mob encounters: The focus is on dodging while steadily moving forward to claim room in spaces. The placement of ammo and re-works to hitscan weapons and carrying capacities lends itself to a more generous "run-and-gun" play than Eviternity has. (I'm using this loosely, almost any Doom wad is a run-and-gun endeavor. You know what I mean.) I felt more compelled in Eviternity to stay accurate in my firing or risk running out of scenario-specific utility. Eviternity has more turret and tower sniper placements that promote conservation of bullets to deal with. In Struggle you're frequently being forced to cycle off of shotgun both because of the max carrying potential of the weapon is reduced and because pistol / double pistol (chaingun) ammo is plentiful. The increased fire rate downs zombie units faster and likewise antares031 places far more of those mobs in the maps then you might see in other wads. I might even go so far as to say the chaingun becomes a better clearing option in the wad than the plasma rifle equivalent in Struggle. When you backtrack in Eviternity you tend to move back into hub areas while the "shortcut doors" in Struggle snake through varying annexes of maps. I would say the shortcuts in Struggle are more complex than the ones in Eviternity but I also don't want to downplay my enjoyment of Eviternity: They're just trying for different spaces.

>>6626160
Definitely try it out. It takes a moment to get into its flow but it's a great wad.

Struggle has a much slower progression compared to Eviternity, since it doesn't bother with the episodic structure. When you pass the halfway point you'll see. The BFG hasn't even been introduced yet.

Does anyone know of any wads that replace monsters will something a bit more spooky? I'm trying to play the Silent Hill 5 to 2 map but standard imps and pinkies aren't really setting the atmosphere well.

>>6627238

I wish someone donated to my fan projects. Guess I picked the wrong games to mod.

Here's my submission for 2048 units. It's also my first ever map so any feedback is appreciated :-)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/li9nc7tegmq23tl/2048-gatehouse.wad/file

Fuck, I just have the maps listed by the numbers I made them as in my .wad, and my 07 submission is currently in slot 04, and it occurred to me that the 666 and 667 specials will not be there for my testing.
Should I just rename the map lump to MAP07? That'd fix it, right?

>>6627924
You really don't want that.
>Hey, I made a hundred bucks.
>But what about the assets, anon? Did you make all of that? The code? The sprites? The textures?
>Well, I...
>WHAT ABOUT THE PORT, HUH? I know you're allowed to do this but they REALLY deserve something too. You should share.
>Well, you see, that...
>ANON WHAT ABOUT ME? I PLAYED YOUR GAME. FOR FREE. I MADE YOU! AAAAAAAA!
>Now that's just...
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The climate. It's bad.

If you're in doom builder press F2 for map options and just rename it to MAP07. Should work in any other editor if you just rename it though.

>>6627964
Yes

I made a demo where I keep falling into laval. As of now I couldn't beat it, because I suck and also can't get control scheme quite right in PrBoom+
Did you use any Boom functionality or I can try playing in Crispy Doom next?

I shook my head vigorously at some minor alignment problems, you might use auto-aligment tool to fix that. You probably also meant to have doortrack in the doors around blue key.
The stairs that lead out of starting area are too steep for monsters to climb making it into a camping spot.
I am also unsure why red key is right in front of red key building, but there might be a point.

>>6627973
I used to make mods for different game that were mostly writing. Then the launcher got all fucked up and I basically ragequit and only do maintenance on my contribution to a large team project. Not hoping to get anyone to pay me for Doom mapping any time soon.
But if someone were to pay even 1 USD for my writing, that's how I'd know I have it made.

>>6625502
There's literally an area in Eviternity where they used a midtexture as a wall (which can be solid, but cant block projectiles) to get the texturing just right. As a result, enemy projectiles pass right through what looks like a solid wall. That is really the epitome of overindulgent visuals.

>>6627995
Couldn't they put solid sector behind the fake wall, like normal, sensible people?

>>6627987
/lit/ is a better place for this but oh well. I like short stories. Got anything good I can read?

>>6626710
>Sunlust is not slaughter
try again.

god i fucking hate slaughtershit

>>6627981
Cheers for the demo. There are lifts/stairs to get out of all the lava pits but I think I need to lower the damage rate. Door track is meant to be in all the doorways but I must have missed a couple. I'll see what I can do about the stairs also.
Yeah, I'm not satisfied with the red key placement either, I need to think of a better place for it.
It works fine on the original DOS version and GZDoom so you shouldn't run into any problems using a different port.

>>6628020
Not really. Those are in-game stories, with all sorts of mechanics and flavour, they aren't exactly literature.

>>6626710
Isn't Sunlust considered THE best slaughterwad?

What are some doom wads with good boss fights, if it helps my standards for a good boss fight was the magician from the end of heretic, that was pretty good

>>6626575
Adventures of Square is the only GZDoom map set I can confirm is good

>>6627939
Pretty solid, especially for a first map. Just do me a favor and move the stalagmite here over a bit. It blocks the players from being able to access the shells due to its infinitely tall height in prboom+. Also, the some of the rock textures could use some serious aligning.

>>6628078
People never mention Episode 2. Has a better flow from what I remember. I wonder if people just drop it halfway through Episode 1 or something like that.

>>6627939
So, I don't know if you know this but in doom builder you can use W to switch to visual mode, where you can fly around using esdf, and select walls and press A to align them horizontally with the one you are pointing at.

You can also flag linedefs as lower unpegged to make lower texture draw from the ceiling (And not floor behind it) which is useful to merge ledges into solid walls.

I haven't played this yet. Let me know if it's any good

Spiderdemons and cyberdemons belong on tall pillars surrounded by vast damaging floor sectors so you cannot run up to them and BFG them. Arch-viles belong in empty lock-in rooms. Revenants belong in long platforming sections. Mancubi belong in long corridors

>>6628070
Off the top of my head, Eviternity, Valiant, Spooktober and Hexmas have pretty good boss fights. Touhou doom also has tons of bosses, but it also has really bland maps.

>>6621091
Releasing arch-viles into a room you just cleared is my favourite part time. I also like putting cacos on tall pillars of which they gracefully float when they see you.

My fetish is raceplay. Can you tell me my favorite iwad instead?

>>6627939
Incidentally, you didn't add any music. Are you going to? All the cool kids do custom music this days.

>>6628127
I'd agree with Spiderdemons, but Cyberdemons are much better when you are given space (but maybe not too much, as in E2M8) to manouver around them and their rockets instead of being used as beefy turrets

>>6627973
I've never gotten any of that.

>>6628105
Come on, even the IcarusSh1ts made a video on it. It's not like it's Memoirs of Magic that faded into oblivion immediately after release, because it was too much of a shitfest to play yet too much of an effort to make people feel awkward to tear it a new asshole as it deserved. I really think people behind the AoS should've commercialized the whole project, maybe it have motivated them to actually make an episode 3.
