This fag MountPenis27 is exhilarating. His content is unoriginal conveyor. He also plays on ZDoom, which notably changes vanilla mechanics. Yet people love it, he is jewing from it. His fucking incel voice and contrarianism, it feels like he is a 4chan refuge. He should have stayed that way, being exposed to Doomworld's #ProtectTransKids will do no good to your sanity.
Stay at home, stay in /doom/.

>>7033113

Why is there literally no one playing deathmatch anymore?

I only see these fucking Mega Man servers

So, I've been thinking about making simple "theme" monster packs that could fit certain mapsets or weapon mods better. One idea I have would be fantasy/demon monster pack, where every "technological" enemy is replaced by non-technological one - I could take sprites from Heretic/Hexen, another would be an opposite - non-monster monster pack, which replaces every demon with technological or human enemy something like Mutiny except not trash. You think this would be a good idea?

>>7033129

or
>Play against some people who know the maps like the backs of their hands, and a bunch of casual players at your skill level

>>7033129
You can organize a Discord party with your friends

>>7033134
A universal monsters pack for Doom is something I've thought of a lot, but I lack the artistic skills. Quake has something like that with the mod/mapping toolbox Quoth, and many Quoth monsters have been grandfathered into many different maps and mods and have become staples of Quake. Go for it, but if I may, include some techy demon variants too.

>>7033136

Quake II is peak comfy, it's the most FPS game FPS game and I love it for that

>>7033185
Oooh no, if you think I'm going to draw something instead of using existing resources, then it's definitely a no go. No no no, I know my limits, and monster spriting is not something I can pull off. I mean, I can frankensprite an okay single sprite, but doing that 50 times, and then repeating that for each enemy - no way in hell.

>>7033095
how do you get doom multiplayer with gzdoom to work? i’m somehow too retarded to figure it out myself.

Odamex, Zdaemon and Zandronum are the most commonly used, you should get all 3

What are some super obscure 2.5D sprite based shooters? Everyone knows Doom, Duke, Blood, Shadow Warrior and all that. Most even know the crap like Isle of the Dead or whatever and Tek War. Even more obscure than weird ones like Legend of the Seven Paladins. Realms of the Haunting is one I found out about a few weeks ago that I honestly had never heard of until now.

Is it possible to inherit one actor and then another actor if the first one does not exist? Like idk, Actor : Secondactor or Thirdactor.

>>7034286
I don't understand your question. You can't inherit from something that doesn't exist. Or do you mean in the map?

>>7034314
>I don't understand your question.
Basically what I'm asking here if there is a way to make a mod that is compatible with all games. In other words... something that checks if (actor) exists. And if it does, use it. If not... use (actor B). So it can work in Doom 2 (if its correspondent actor exists) -and- in Hexen (if the doom actor is not found but the hexen specified one exists.)

>>7034348
So you have a monster that replaces another monster depending on the game, did I understand that correctly? So e.g. the Imp in Doom 2 and the Ettin in Hexen?

You could do that with a ZScript replace script, but I don't think there's a way in decorate apart from having several monster blocks that all replace a different monster.

>>7034357
>did I understand that correctly?
Yes, you understood it right.
>You could do that with a ZScript replace script
Then I'm screwed because I don't know jack about ZScript. Welp, time to read the wiki for the next few hours.

>>7034375
Okay you need two files:

- A ZScript file, can be named "zscript" just for now for trying. In that file you write the following:

Class MonsterReplacer : EventHandler
{
override void CheckReplacement(ReplaceEvent e)
{
switch(e.Replacee.GetClassName())
{
case 'Zombieman':
e.Replacement = "MyMonster";
break;
case 'Ettin':
e.Replacement = "MyMonster";
break;
}
}
}

- A MapInfo file containing the name of the eventhandler like so:

GameInfo
{
Eventhandlers = "Monsterreplacer"
}

>>7034375
The Decorate method is just to name the actors that you're replacing to prevent redundancies. Easiest way is to make the replacement monster, then use lump filtering to make a decorate file relative to each IWAD, and just make a slightly renamed variant that just inherits the entire monster definition.

You can do it with a bit less work in ZScript, but if you're shooting for compatibility with anything other than new GZDoom then using ZS is going to kill that. Honestly I'm getting kind of tired of stuff being "depreciated" on the wiki like some big bad spooky curse, when the "correct" way just ends up being something that shoehorns people into needing to use the latest GZD. Half the time there isn't even anything wrong with the old method.

Can someone tell me who these retards who occupy Megaman deathmatch servers all day are?

>>7033113
Who the fuck is MountPenis27?

>>7034443
For some reason this makes me think of TEN.

>>7034384
I'm going to fucking strangle myself for being this retarded.

>>7034462
Ahhhh fuck I'm sorry, you need to specifiy the version.

Put

version "4.4.2" in the first line of the zscript file.

>>7034464
Sorry, formatting fucked up. You ONLY put

version "4.4.2"

in the file, just in the first line

>>7034443
No clue. I joined a server once just to check it out when i was new to Doom multiplayer and nobody was even fighting, it was like a hangout or something. Had to leave because it's so bright and garish it literally hurt my eyes.

>>7034469
>>7034464
...it worked. But apparently zdoom didn't liked what I did and keeps shitting itself everytime I try to load a map. Got any pointers for a retard like me?

>>7034487
Without knowing what you did, I can't help you. Did you get any errors or warnings?
If you want to replace the Ettin with the Zombieman of course you need to get your Zombieman from somewhere, it's not contained in Hexen.

>>7034539

He was struggling with the Quake engine at the time, I don't blame him for being down, he was tearing his hair out trying to make everything work.

>>7034501
>Without knowing what you did, I can't help you.
Other than adding a "version "4.4.2" line to the Zscript file? Nothing.
> If you want to replace the Ettin with the Zombieman of course you need to get your Zombieman from somewhere, it's not contained in Hexen.
>from somewhere
Perhaps I should make my previous idea more clear and specific... and "code-y" like:
If Zombieman exists, use its actor. If not, ignore it and use Ettin, instead. If Ettin does not exist... etcetc.
Wait... I have an idea. Which might be the solution to this. Just a sec.

>>7034535
There was Dungeons Of Kremlin (Пoдзeмeлья Кpeмля) - a russian take on the genre. You fight zombie boyars and creatures from russian folklore. It was pretty bad, apparently there's a remastered edition nowadays but I have no idea if it's good or not.

>>7034548
Nope, it did not. Think I'll resort to googlefu a bit.
Thanks for chiming in btw.

>>7034548
If Zombieman = true {
done
or false {
NewActor = Ettin
done
}
}
Something like that.

>>7034573
Okay, I wanted to see what you are doing. While I still don't really understand your intentions, maybe that script isn't really for you.

What this script does is replacing an actor with another one, i.e.

case 'Zombieman' looks for all actors of class Zombieman. WHen it has found them,

e.Replacement = "Ettin";

replaces the Zombieman with the Ettin.

Also, I noticed that you have a typo in your code. In line 5 it's

Replacee with two 'e', not one. Did you not just copypaste the code I posted? Because that one works as intended (with different replacements, of course).

>>7034560
Neat, I'll look into this one too. Thanks Vlad

>>7034590
>case 'Zombieman' looks for all actors of class Zombieman. WHen it has found them,
>e.Replacement = "Ettin";
Okay, so what I need to add so it replaces Zombieman with Ettin when Zombieman has -NOT- been found?

>>7034603
...oh, and when it finds "Zombieman"... it just ignores the script and does nothing.

>>7034603
That's not possible. It can't replace anything that's not there. If there is no Zombieman on the map, you can't replace it.

>>7034617
What, can't you just... uh, "If Zombieman = true, done. If Zombieman = false, set NewActor = Ettin"? Welp, nvm then. Thanks once again for helping me out tho.

>>7034624
Anon, HOW should that possibly work? You have a map where there are no Zombieman. Now you replace those nonexisting Zombiemen with Ettins and now you still have no Zombiemen or Ettins on the map.
That doesn't make any sense!

>>7034628
...what doesn't make sense of something that checks if a specific actor exists or not... and if it does not, rename him to an actor that does exist?

>>7034628
In other words... if I use a mod that inherits an actor from Zombieman and use this "proposedly checker" and run this mod on hexen... the "checker" will go "Oh, Zombieman does not exist so I'll replace that with Ettin, instead."

>>7034648
Anon, that still doesn't make any sense.
If there is no Zombieman on the map, you won't get an Ettin. If you just want to add monsters to a map, you can use a spawn function that spawns monsters at coordinates at level load.
And I still have no idea what you could possibly want to do with your mod. Maybe we're talking past each other, but frankly, you lost me here.

I've been trying to play some gzdoom on my memepad laptop under loonix and I can't for the life of me get dynamic lights from projectiles etc to show up at all.
What gives? is it because shitty intel igpu? not even software mode, and I remember software mode working at some point.

>>7033113
I cant imagine these hateposts having any effect other than advertising his videos.

>>7034661
Simply put, what I'm trying to do here is to make the game inherit Zombieman from Zombieman when I'm playing Doom 2... and when Zombieman does not exist... switch those inheritances to Ettin when I'm playing Hexen.
> If there is no Zombieman on the map, you won't get an Ettin.
Yes, I understood it clearly. And what I'm asking here is to force the game to inherit from Ettin instead of Zombieman when I'm playing Hexen. Ergo, "Shit! Zombieman does not exist on this game. But instead, I'll inherit from Ettin instead because it does exist in this game."

>>7034267
There's ZPC, I've never played it but it's in the Marathon engine. The artsyle is pretty zany.

>>7034690
Yes, but WHY?
Let's try something else.

Let's assume I load Doom 2, MAP01 with your mod. What changes for me in the game? No code language whatsoever, just what changes in the game?

>>7034715
>Yes, but WHY?
So my mod becomes just as effective as it is on Doom 2...? With (worst case scenario) some animations become wonky or just broken because of different sprites?
I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in this entire universe who had the idea to make a "fake original monster" that inherits from the original one and make a new monster based on its "fake original" one, instead.
> What changes for me in the game?
I'll make it simple with an example:
If you play Doom 2 and use this same mod... zombieman will jump every 3 seconds. If you use this same mod but on Hexen... Ettin will jump every three seconds.
That's it.

>>7034746
Okay, so you're planning on extending existing monsters or what? But why then checking for nonexisting monsters?
The script I posted only replaces what's there, and per your example, wouldn't that be what you want?

>>7034768
>planning on extending existing monsters
...yes.
Monster 1 : Zombieman if I'm playing Doom 2. Which inherits from Ettin instead of Zombieman if I'm playing Hexen.
>wouldn't that be what you want?
Uh...no. That switches map spawns -- I'm talking about inheritances.

>>7034746
Just use the decorate filter method so it loads a different decorate file dependent on which Iwad you're loading, or look up how mods like critical shots handle checks for actor classes. Either method will accomplish what you want, I think the other anon is getting frustrated because you're over-complicating things.
As far as the rest of the compatibility is concerned, you'll want any sprites for the mod itself to be truecolor to avoid palette issues between different Iwads, as well as making sure there are no naming overlaps with either sprites or actors.

>>7034791
Ooof, in that case I don't think I can help you.
Extending a class is not a problem, but I don't quite know right now how to get the class based on game.
Of course you could still go the Decorate way and have a separate block for each monster and filter by game, like >>7034807 suggested.

>>7034810
Honestly, if he just wants it to be a universal "quirk" like the one he listed in his example, making said quirk an ACS script and just having each applicable actor call the script during a state before going right back to their "super::" inheritance would be the least amount of work. Using a filter by Iwad system will make it much cleaner and easier for him to maintain/update. There might be a way to streamline that in Zscript, but thats the easiest method I can think of

>>7033134
That sounds brilliant and I think the world and doom community would be a better place if you did it, anon.

>>7034831
Yeah probably. I personally don't like ACS on actors, but that's just my personal thing.
If you (the inheritance dude) still want to get into zscript, I can recommend the Basic Guide by Jekyllgrim. It really helped me out and he has lots of examples, I think even something that you could use as a basis for your stuff.

>>7034267
Madspace. Haven't tried it personally, but apparently it has non-Euclidean levels and optional voice control. I really wish Civvie would review this instead of huehue shovelware.

This time a doom random map launcher for all your map collection here https://github.com/lea2501/doom-random-map-sh (i also updated the quake one a little bit) hope you find it useful, it can even get a random map from all megawads, be them wads or pk3 files

>>7034473
Don't judge MM8BDM on those "friendly" servers, for some reason MM8BDM attracts the TF2 24/7 mario_kart_dm kind of person. They now end up being the only populated server for the game sometimes because the kind of mouthbreather who populates it scared off other members of the community with their low IQ (MM8BDM drama is a cesspit)

>>7034906
I miss the tiberium red vs blue servers and bagel stuff

>>7034896
re: quake script, you can use "-current" instead of "-width 1920 -height 1080 -fullscreen". and it wouldn't have any way of figuring out the dependencies, right? pretty cool anyway

>>7034267
>>7034885
Might as well mention Z.A.R., same developers as Madspace, the twist of this one is huge (albeit empty-ish) levels and voxels.

>>7034957
>huge (albeit empty-ish) levels and voxels.
Sounds like Russia IRL.

Are Quake III servers still active?

Okay, I decided to give Madspace a spin, and it's not that bad, except five minutes in I remembered that I am already exceptionally good at getting lost in plain old boring Euclidean levels. Dual-wielding system is pretty interesting, you can freely assign weapons to your hands and I would've called the whole system elegant if UI for it wasn't so confusing. I wonder if I can replicate in ZScript.

>>7034703
Looks cool. Thats something I never considered actually... Are there many games on the Marathon engine?

>>7034505
That's a good one. I still got the box somewhere.

>>7034703
I like the work of Aidan Hughes, but they didn't translate too well into graphics for this game. Cool idea, but overall very wonky to play and the sprites suffer from the limited number of frames.

>>7034885
Good one as well if you can shrug off the retarded structuring of the game and the rail shooter stuff.

>>7034957
Reinvigorated my interest in voxel games and motivated me to start writing my own voxel/sprite engine.

ah i will try the -current parameter in quakespasm, didnt understand what you mean about the dependencies

>>7035091
say a map relies on ad/copper/quoth entities, the script has no way of knowing that. it might load but would be broken.
quakeinjector has these dependencies filled-in manually.

im playing through the doomrpgs and am just wondering if its supposed to freeze so much? everytime i pickup an item the game freezes for about 3 seconds. navigating through the menu is the same, and saving takes around half a minute. i dont mind if this is how it supposed to run but if theres any way to reduce this id love to know.

>>7036135
welp after freej2me crashed after fighting an enemy the game has stopped freezing, but the menu still seems slower than it should be

>>7036060
Nerves of Steel is utter trash, maybe the worst retro FPS period. I don't think it's got a single redeeming trait.
In Pursuit of Greed has awesome music by the legendary Andrew Sega and some cool concepts, but pretty shoddy execution. It's the sort of game that I'd love to see recreated in GZDoom.
CyClones is Raven, so it's unsurprisingly decent. Janky as hell though. Even past the System Shock-style controls (which I don't personally mind at all), the hitreg is absurdly fickle. I wish I weren't cursed with some unique hardware problem that causes my mouse buttons to get stuck at random only in this game. Between that and the hitreg, tons of ammo gets wasted.

Anyone here played Wrath of Earth? I just tried it out today and it's pretty neat, if primitive-looking for 1995. The way all your suit components can be damaged by enemy attacks is interesting, you can end up losing your HUD in the middle of a firefight.

>>7035995
It's an okay map with decent gimmicks, like the teleporter room, but it's way too confusing for its own good.

>>7035978
Strife had no influence, it was a commercial failure considered outdated. If anything Deus Ex was probably the first breakout RPG/shooter.
And nobody try and say it was Ultima Underworld...

lol

>>7036157

There's more FPS that I like and enjoy, but can't claim as favorites, recognizing them as too flawed to be excellent, like Doom 3, Doom 4, Half-Life 2, and some others.

Are there any PS1 FPS kino?

Playthrough video of map05 of 1994 tune-up community project is up. Compared to the previous maps, this one took much less liberty with the layout changes. It pretty much felt like playing the same map twice with different monsters. A decent map though, even the original 1994 one.

Has anyone tried turning Final Doomer into a weapon randomizer mod, or is that a bit too complicated?

>>7037153
>is that a bit too complicated?
Are you talking about giving a chance to switch the pistol to a shotgun, bfg or (whatever) at random when starting a level? I can do that.

>>7037172
No, making it so that every weapon has a chance to be a weapon from a different class' weapon set. So you start off with the standard Doomguy class' pistol, but you might be able to find Plutonia shotguns, Vendetta chainguns, etc. etc. Maybe even implement a small chance for each class' pistol to replace a clip item.

>>7037193
Then its easy as heck. I gotchu.

>>7035982
>>7034662
nvm fixed it ;)
distro package placed lights.pk3 and brightmaps.pk3 somewhere else different than the binary and didn't add that path to the cfg by default, thanks Linux!

>>7035960
Yes, but that statement has no bearing on Half Life's quality itself, and it remains a very good game that did some very revolutionary stuff for its time.

For anyone who cares/bored enough to try new mods... here`s what I came up with the "100% text-based randomizer" mod so far:
https://gofile.io/d/RimFG1
Only zombieman and doomimp replacements are available as of now -- but Im planning to make it 10 for each monster ingame.
Feel free to criticize, give some feedback or just mock me for no reason.

Why doesn't Exhumed/Powerslave get talked about more? It's probably the most high quality 2D FPS that I barely every seen discussed. What is the best way to play it nowadays?

watching the new civvie video
I came upon a realization
a doom eternal style game with chainsaw reloading featuring Ash would be the shit

>>7037264
because it has no working source ports and most stuff is lost

and the build PC port is garbage

https://youtu.be/G3YG8oqhYMg

>>7037364
Powerslave EX works fine (you need to find a patch to fix mouselook on Windows 10 though). And BuildGDX supports the DOS version.
The DOS "port" (it was actually started first) is a good game too. You should give it another chance with BuildGDX since the modernized controls help it shine.

What plays better with death wish? gdx or nblood?

I remember one of these ports had a white skybox on the tower level (which should not be happening) and the other had bugged doors in the cave level

>>7034183
I'm on the 'Lost Levels' now, they're fun too. Holds you on a tight leash for health and ammo, and they break out the Pain Elementals early.

Finished the train level, updated the archive. Grab it here

>>7037583
Building textures are way too close.

There should be a rail beneath distancing them.

>>7037483
i still can't believe my edit of CB is still being posted.

also i'd recommend GDX, mostly because i've heard it has been improved way more.

Cool, fuck you too.

>>7037610
Is that the map that requires the patch from team TNT? I always autoload with the patch when playing TNT.

>>7037616
That and possibly River Styx since for some reason the lava didn't hurt me.

>>7037610
This happened to me when I played through TNT on >GZDoom. I believe certain sourceports fix the method that the level uses to raise the staircase, but I haven't bothered to try since switching to Boom and Crispy.

>>7037645
Turns out the staircase during the final boss is broken too

>>7037616
No, that's secret map where they accidentally flagged a key for multiplayer.

>>7037605
Tried that, looked worse.

Also, is anybody else having problems with their posts getting swallowed? Has happened three times already this week. I get cooldown and all, but no post. I have to resort to phoneposting to reply at all. Some kind of silent ban thing? I still can't post images from my regular machine because of some pedophile pol subhuman who got the whole range banned.

>>7033095
Fellas what's the best way to play Blood? Is the one in the mega links the same as the remastered edition or is that somehow worse?

>>7037760
I swear this question is posted literally every thread. The OP >>7033096 needs to add it at this point.
The "remaster" is indeed worse. It's a recreation in a different engine and has many wrong physics, damage, effects, etc. BloodGDX and NBlood are free fanmade ports that are accurate to the point of playing back the original demos. The differences between the two are minor; GDX makes it easier to play custom content, while NBlood has faster multiplayer.

>>7037821
Thanks anon, sorry for being a dumbfuck and not searching more

>>7037706

Fine on my end.
Also stop scapegoating pol. Its low hanging fruit.

And a fucking tunnel of textures is alright? I know you are doing out of love as an amateur but come on.

>>7037483
>I remember one of these ports had a white skybox on the tower level (which should not be happening)
I ran into that with GDX, don't remember any bugged doors in a cave though.

>>7037864
If someone is banned explicitly for polshit it's not scapegoating.

And if you have a better idea how to convey a moving train, I'm all ears.

>>7037884
ignore him, dbzone, dynamite dm, and 2048 have kino scrolling texture vehicle maps. Wish people did more wild and crazy shit with water or moving platforms.

>>7037893
It needs more depth though. The effect is way too obviously fake.

>>7036080
everyone agrees schizotranny

>>7037893
I played 2048, you mean Barge In, right?
I mean, compared to what I am doing, that's rather simple, as it's just a slowly going ship on water, so you just need to scroll everything past.
With a bullet train in a city there's more to it. I know the skyline is not ideal, but I would need to build a fully scrollable skybox over something like 6000 mu. But then again, this is still WIP, so when everything is laid out and the mod is feature complete, I can go and improve the maps. I can only ask you to bear with me, as I am just a single dude with a job, friends and gf, so I can't devote all my time to this.

any praise of HL is shitposting

>>7037942
Rent free

>>7037884
Yes, put it in a semi transparent tunnel, like an above ground metro inside a glass tunnel, words fail me I not an native English speaker. A tram right?

So you can distance the train itself from the background textures.

>>7037918
>>7037936
all it takes is some scrolling stuff in the background, barge in had the little boats with imps on them and stuff floating down the river as you progressed.

>>7037964
Hey, that's not a bad idea. Thanks m8, I'll try that.

>>7037968
Yes, but how can this be applied to a highspeed train? With Barge In and your webm, you always have vast areas in the background and see the ground beneath.
This train is going superfast through a city at a huge height.
Maybe some kind of pillars? I think I could do that with the tunnel thing.

>>7037975

No problem.
The dream would be two parallax scrolling, like a fast one near and a more detailed slower one in the distance.

But as I said you are just an amateur and I get it. But it warms my heart Dredd getting some love.

God knows the comic industry is in full meltdown. Another symptom of a larger sickness.

>>7038070
>>7038084
Projecting this hard doesn't help either alf
Also by the look of it you are probably a underage seeing that you are posting in hours were kids should be at school.

>>7037936
What you could do is make a couple of textures which together make up a city view, and then have them kind of paralax scroll, if you get what I mean, the closer ones scrolling faster, the farther ones slower. Have them somewhat far away from the view so that they're less obvious.

>>7038034
looks like somebody's still trying to figure out the map layout; but has a theme in mind.

>>7038092
That is what I was considering in the beginning, but I couldn't find any good large skylines. And standing on the train you can also look down, so they'd have to be really tall.

Right now I am trying to find out how to implement scrolling pillars. Making a tunnel texture that's scrolling through seems kinda cheap and depending on the angle you can see that the pillars are only 2D. Can Polyobjects scroll down and back, so to say? I had the idea of using polyobjects that scroll along the train constantly.

>>7038084

I was trawling /v/ out of boredom and I remembered something: the old days (for me) of playing Zandronum MP in 2013/2014. I remember Best Ever going down in a spectacular explosion of internet drama. How does one go about hosting an MP doom server now? I was thinking about it because I might be down for hosting a halloween party for /vr/ so we can play Doom together, depending on what's involved. Survival with classic wads anyone? I was thinking of the Scythe WADs, AV, Vanguard, Valient Vaccinated, and Ancient Aliens as a baseline for stuff we could play. Sunlust is fun if the server is man enough.

Okay, now does anyone have advice on how to set up the server for survival play? I want Boom compatibility overall, since every WAD I'm thinking of playing is either Boom or Vanilla..

Pardon the plebbit link, but this is a decent centralized list.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HeXen/wiki/hexenmaps
You can also search the idgames archive but most of the entries are 90s wads of dubious quality.

Thoughts on the following WADs for survival? This is what I like off the top of my head, with a cut or two from last time. I'm taking suggestions but as host, the final call is mine. If I didn't plan on running so many mods with custom stuff going on, I'd have Smooth Doom on the server since I always play with it myself in SP. Too bad I know it breaks stuff in Ancient Aliens and Eviternity.

>AV
>Scythe 2 (first one's too easy for MP until the last few levels imo)
>Epic 2
>Eviternity
>CC4
>Hellbound (too sloggy even in MP, perhaps? bores me to tears in SP but I've had fun playing it on servers)
>Speed of Doom
>Unholy Realms (a little easier than many others on the list imo)
>Sunlust (the ballbuster)
>Ancient Aliens (too easy? probably comparable to Scythe 1 if you haven't played it)
>Valiant Vaccinated (too easy for the same reason as the above?)

If memory serves me right, looking up and down wasn't required right?

>>7038389
Not the anon you're responding to, but I played Heretic and Hexen (put the latter down in a rage when I couldn't progress) without needing to look up and down. I had freelook on for taste, but can't recall any situation for which I truly needed it.

>>7038201
I recommend Chuxen. It's really good, esecially for a wad made in '96

>>7038381
epic 2 is really not that good for multiplayer, its a slog. We played it here a few months ago and we were all pretty agitated afterwards.

>>7038325
If these were finished maps I could see you somehow pulling a caco out of your ass.
The real question is how you're going to manage those first-third person transitions with a reticule for when the camera is taken away from the player and the narrative; considering these are maps based off of an ancient flash animation series.

Doom but the camera is fixed like resident Evil

One thing I've always liked that more servers should do is have players drop weapons when killed in survival. While I'm going to have non-mega pickups respawn, I still like the weapon drops for people that are leaving the game and want to drop a present for other players they're leaving behind.

>>7038412
Okay. I've played it in SP and MP. It's...fine either way for me, but with all the other choices, I'm okay with dropping it. The author's trap placement gets samey after a while if I recall. The alien ship levels are also frustrating. I may have unblock players on when the server goes up, but that won't make it any more fun, just less irritating. Gone.

>>7038325
Nobody knows what the fuck youre talking about. I dont feel like downloading random unfinished gzdoom maps with no description or statement of intent.

>>7038460
not our problem then.

>>7036758
Other anon hit the nail on the head. I love how the game looks, and unlike most people, I really love the 2-4 weapons. That shotgun is mmm good, and the dual fire round smgs is such a satisfying thing. IF is definitely my favorite over Blood, but Blood is obviously a classic.

>>7036924
Based and Sampilled.

>>7038381
Those are fine enough choices, but choosing only the most popular megawads is also a little boring.

>>7037109
Looks pretty good.

I wish I could include some older stuff so it's not all modern popular stuff. If you have any suggestions for less known stuff that might be fun, I'm listening.

Right now, I think I need to set up a maplist for the server so one WAD goes to the next. As of now, my understanding is that failing to do that will result in a WAD's end resulting in either it looping back to the start of that WAD or loading Doom 2 MAP01, depending on what the WAD author did with MAP30's MAPINFO lump.

In terms of older WADs I've considered, the MM WADs and Requiem are fun but too easy for modern MP. HR1 is okay. The first third is rather easy. Then it gets mean. I'll take a hard pass on HR2. MAP32 is god-tier slaughter. The rest is trash. I played it with the DWMC earlier this year and I'm never touching it again. BTSX 1 and 2 are too easy for MP as well. I've played the latter on servers and really, multiple people are too much for it, mainly as a vanilla wad with all the monster limitations that implies.

Whitemare, Whitemare 2. Man I love those. Super underrated.

>>7038508
Whitemare...I've heard that name before. It's not a cacoward winner. Maybe it's older.

>>7033095
Is Shelly getting banged by the Redneck off picture somewhere?

>>7033096
I don't know if someone mentioned it already, but ter_shibboleth got a redux version earlier this month with a conversion to the Drake mod.

Quake modding resource like Quoth, Arcane Dimensions.

>>7033096
vkQuake updated.

>>7038612
this crap doesn't work here even if i want it and the vulkan drivers are updated

>>7038595
>Oh my god, the slipgate has taken me to the most sick, twisted, inhuman, degenerate place of horrors yet..... San Francisco!

>>7038473
It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it feels really smooth and refined. That's my favorite aspect about it, it's responsive and smooth when it clicks.

Looking at the details of a lot of the WADs I'm interested in running for the Halloween party, all of them seem to use the vanilla Doom 2 level names. I don't think I can set up a map list the way I expected to. Instead, I'll have to run a wad, take down the server, and switch to the next wad. At least I can run Smooth Doom for wads where it's compatible.

>>7038612
Ah, good. That's the Quake port I used earlier this year. You may want to quote the OP so it gets in the news.

>>7038473
Agreed, mostly. My favorite overall is probably Shadow Warrior, but Blood and IF are both great, even if Blood difficulties are mean with how they handle hitscanners. Thank god for made to order in fresh supply.

>>7038526
Responding to myself here: I took Whitemare 2 for a spin. Good opening levels. MAP04's chaingunners at the start got me after I only had the wherewithal to bag six of eight before running out of health, but I thought what I saw was pretty good. The Russians appear to have had good quality control and competent mappers. I'll consider running it, maybe first or second since somebody here asked for it.

>>7038623
Fuckin' ay.

Can someone explain to a brainlet who the activator is when a projectile hits something? Is it the projectile, the actor who shot it or the actor it hits?

>>7038680
The actor who shot the projectile.

>>7038709
Thanks, that shit was driving me insane.

>>7038612
so I've updated it and now some things are drawn without lightmaps. not a problem in 1.04.1. can anyone confirm?

>>7038637
>I took Whitemare 2 for a spin.
Play Map 20. You'll love that one.

I must say, Q2 Weapons Project makes Q1 arsenal a bit overpowered to the point that you can kill a shambler or a vore with 2/3 railgun shots
And hyperblaster is OP, it mows everything with ease.
also the mod doesn't work on Quakespasm due to Draw_PicFromWad: pic num_0 truncated errors, but it works well on FTE and other ports, mainly winquake.

>>7033095
What fuck did I just play?

>>7038798
You played the start of something great, now go play episode 2.

I have been going through the archives of these Retro FPS generals on Desuarchive lately... There are some really great ones from years gone by.

Thread oldfags: Any particular ones stick out to you? Anything memorable I could search on Desu?

Anyone here familiar enough with Rednukem to give a quick pro/con of it compared to eduke32?

>>7038812
I am never going to finish this before halloween...FUCK!

>when you are so retarded it takes you 5 hours to come up with a monster like this

Bros... how do I git gud? Getting filtered by valiant map6. I'm not even doing a pistol start

>>7038884
blind is the hardest way to play, once you know a map it becomes infinitely easier.

>>7038840
Test them both out and see which one you like more. They are both virtually identical since RedNukem is a fork of EDuke designed to also run Redneck Rampage. Since they are virtually identical, usually just one minor option that one has will make you like it more than the other. I liked RedNukem more because EDuke had a bug that caused the level walls/floor to temporarily disappear during certain elevators but I think that bug got fixed by now, I haven't checked since I switched to DOSBox for Duke Nukem

>>7038898
Yea I've studied the layout and stuff. But I'm dying from catching too much projectiles mostly. Map 6 feels really overwhelming with how much projectiles are coming from the roof and arachnorbs/cacos

>>7038904
Either of those are only a problem if you stop moving. Make a couple laps to get to know the area. It’s expansive enough to give a wide berth to a lot of monsters once you clear out the hitscanners.

>>7038836
I've been browsing these threads for about 6 years now. Nothing in particular, but my favorite parts have always been watching mod devs and mappers post their work. I guess if you had to search for something look out for GMOTA stuff, that mod's come a long way and lot of its development has been posted here. Also look up "screenshot Saturday" in the archive for an easy way to see all kinds of cool stuff people have shared.

>>7038110
You can use 3D models if you don't care about LZDoom support.

Dusk and Wrath are both on sale right now, ~11 bucks for dusk and 20 for wrath. Is it worth ponying up for both right now?

>>7038945
Get Dusk, it's fantastic. Haven't played Wrath and have heard some mixed things about it, so maybe hold off on that.

>>7038945
playing dusk for the first time after owning it since release. Originally bought it because the creator mentioned it would have a coop mode. Playing it for a halloween game and its pretty good.

>>7038961
I liked it a lot.
Only thing I don't care for is the programmer art, which is forgivable, and the AI is retarded, which is made up for by how aggressive they are.

>>7038945
I tried Amid Evil. Felt a bit weird, artstyle felt sharp and ugly even though I appreciate the effort put into those weapon sprites. Maybe I'm just not in the mood right now but I also never really got into Heretic; I'm more of a fighter guy.

>>7038983
The enemy models in AE are really cool, and the poly count / skins are reminiscent of Unreal and games of that era. But theyre moving so fast that you cant normally get a good enough look to appreciate them.

>>7034443
I miss the days when there were like 4 full all out war servers several CTF servers and several dm servers. Instead everytime I hop in I find only fags playing mmdm every fucking day

>>7038087
You need to turn off monitor scaling for that (in your GPU settings tab). Both AMD and Nvidia should have it.

>>7038861
turn off your filters
