>>7284851
But he is not a good person. He is narcisstic, abusive and rather autistic if you get close go him. Before he started streaming he was a GE-speedrunner and for some reason that made him better than other people simply because he had times on the board. He would rather talk down to people and belittle them instead of helping them if they did not out-autist him at some extremely specific thing he decided to like. He also backtalks and racemixes.

>altering the OP to say 90s FPS instead of Retro FPS like it used to say
Yep, it's a fake thread courtesy of alf and the discord socialist gang.

>>7284926
I prefer drink my knob. The schizo anon somehow conflated this and drink my knob into "drink it down." Embarassing.

Real talk.
In E1M2 of Doom, am I supposed to know to shoot that wall to open up the other half of the secrets in the level?
Most of them seem hidden the way I like, such as discolored walls, an area of wall separated by 1 or 2 metal pole things indicating it's a sliding door but still colored like a wall. A button behind a pillar facing the corner.
I'm trying to determine if it's a game that has secrets like Wolf3D. I know Wolf3D is ancient, so the secrets are literally the same as the wall.
tl;dr, was there an indication of the secret area IN the secret area of E1M2? Or am I just a fucking spaz?

>>7284950
The title is the same as it was last thread, newfag.

Show me when it was changed:
>>/vr/
https://desuarchive.org/vr

Take your meds.

>>7284961
You will never be a woman, no matter how much quake 2 content you spam in these threads

>>7284954
You're a spaz but it is a little unclear to the player.

>>7284954
There is none. Imo, secrets that don't give themselves away are the best. In E2M4, there's a secret that you shoot a wall for. The door is initially open until you cross a line and then it closes down. Have to shoot it to open it back up. The only real indication of something being there is if you found the small elevator secret to the left at the top of the stairs behind the red door.

>>7284963
I'm not the Quake 2 slav.
I shit on trannies constantly.
You are a literal schizo. Seethe, dilate, etc.

Shut the fuck up zoomies.

>>7284985
I shit on trannies constantly.
I bet you do. Closeted faggot mestizo.

added some more feedback for the heat gauge, now it makes distinct sounds as it climbs, and separate sounds as it drops.

>>>/wsg/3752498

>>7284980
Yeah. I'm watching a 100% secrets video now and they're pretty cryptic.
Don't know how the hell people would have found them in the day, but I guess back then you only got 1 or 2 games for Christmas and you'd play the same levels probably over 100 times so you'd find all the ones where you hear an elevator go up or down and then you run back into the room to find it moving, then do it again to get on it. I guess the fun would be knowing that you went to cheatccdotcom to look them up and you knew them and your friends didn't.
You could do that in the 90's. Now you have to make your game last 40 hours or less because Steam makes anything older than 6 months go on sale for half off so everyone has 200 games or more.

>>7285008
Ok ok, we know you are upset Manrisa. Please stop shitting up the thread.

>>7285013
I think removing all the text but "Oh shit too hot!" would be better. I'm not a kid, y'know? I don't need the text on screen telling me what I can hear and see from the temperature gauge.

Is the level design in all of Marathon so confusing? I keep getting lost.

>>7285028
That's just placeholder/debug shit for my own sake as I bumble through ACS. I'll be stripping it out soon.

>>7284743
Unofficial bugfix patch for Shrak released:
https://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=62008
You now have zero reasons not to play Shrak.

>>7285031
First Marathon has some mazes, but the automap should clear up most of them. Durandal is generally the least maze-y of the three, but has a few larger levels that are easy to get lost in. Infinity is the confusion of both combined. Rubicon's worst is Infinity^2.

>>7285013
Damn, how do you make sound effects like this? Impressive.

Also the text is a bit cringe.

>>7285037
Is Infinity worth playing? Any time I see it brought up it's people talking about how batshit crazy it is.

>>7285034
Based
>>7285036
Check the newspost anon.

>>7285040
See my post above. Just placeholder/debug shit, I try to avoid using text to explain shit whenever possible, cus it sucks. The sounds are ripped from TRON 2.0

>>7284954
Also, for future reference. Look at the map when you clear rooms. Sometimes, even if the textures aren't off alignment, the lines on the map will be a different color which could mean it's a secret.

>>7285052
>TRON 2.0
based game

>>7285052
Nice. Is all the sound work you do just ripped/edited from other stuff or do you ever make your own?

Did you know that Lost Souls only have three seconds of memory?

>>7285015
Shoot, when I realized there were secrets. I'd just clear the entire map and then begin wall humping. Now, on rare occasions, I do that but with the chainsaw going at the same time.

Just noclip to find the secrets.

>>7285071
Their brain IS on fire.

>>7285073
I think it's funny that wall humping for secrets like that, first with Wolf 3D and then Doom, ROTT etc that by Shadow Warrior it was a meme that the dev poked fun at with Lo Wang's line "OH DAMN I'M RUNNING INTO WALLS NOW" when you wallhump.

>>7285067
Mostly ripped, I kitbashed a "voice" for Arti using Labchirp. I like it a lot better than that fucking BFXR thing. In the future I'm gonna be making my own sounds for standalone games though.

>>>/wsg/3752520

>>7285071
>BoWl oF sOuLs"

THOSE REAL TITS?

Which other retro fps deserve a fifth episode?

>>7285045
Yes, but play it last, and if possible play it shortly after beating the first two so that the story's relatively fresh in your head to get the most out of the writing. If you go in expecting something completely insane you might be underwhelmed, the bulk of the levels are well in line with Durandal just with timeline jumping and a few experimental dream-like levels added into the mix, but it's still very creative despite on the surface being just an expansion-tier update with one new weapon and one new enemy.

>>7285103
YOU NO MESS WITH LO WANG!

>>7285118
I can't get into Marathon 1 but 2 is really good. I am considering reading a story synopsis for 1 but the lore is massive.

Is it true that the Build Engine has the most painful map editors?

Why is Romero so obsessed with Cyberdemons?

>>7285135
Where did Marathon 1 filter you? Opinions vary a bit, but I'd say that it overall is at its best in the middle of the game (Colony Ship For Sale excepted, which happens to be smack dab in the middle)

>>7285143
They're fucking rad that's why.

>>7285103
>>7285126
I have been reading a lot about the prototype versions of Shadow Warrior. It is really interesting it went through so many versions to what we got. The earliest is from 1993 and looks like Wolf 3D in a Japanese setting with ninja enemies roaming around. This was the intro. I assume the original hero was going to be this ninja guy. I am glad we ended up with Lo Wang but the earlier versions are fascinating to think about what other possibilities might have been.

This page covers the TEN(!) different Shadow Warrior prototypes from 1993 to 1997:
https://tcrf.net/Proto:Shadow_Warrior_(1997)

>>7285145
Just the overall level design and aesthetic I found inferior to Marathon 2, which felt much more satisfying and better from the get go. I made it to Blaspheme Quarantine I think before I quit.

>>7285025
Get fucked faggot

>>7285150
I must concur with this.

Reminder that the Cyberdemon was originally the Harbinger of Doom and had it's limbs chopped off by BJ Blazkowicz with the Spear of Destiny and had cybernetic replacements installed.

>>7285178

>>7285182
So is hell filled with expert cybernetic engineers or did he just hobble around on one leg until he found some humans willing to make some equipment?

>>7285190
Hell has demonic cybernetic technology. He vows to return to face BJs descendent, which is Doomguy in E2M8.

>>7285182
The id RPG games are awesome.

>>7285190
It's bethsoft nu-lore who knows

Been years since I played Deus Ex. Can it be played as a pure FPS? Would I need to cheat and dump points into aiming and shit to be able to play the whole game that way?

>>7285182
That's not canon.

>still no combine arms update

>>7285207
?

No, it isn't. It's from the id RPGs, Carmack wrote the engine himself. They were released by id long before Betheada purchased them.
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Cyberdemon#Wolfenstein_RPG
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein_RPG
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_RPG

You really should play them. They are linked in OP.

>>7285236
As in you never use stealth and just blast your way through every hostile? I wouldn't recommend it. Ammo can be pretty scarce and your aim will be pretty bad early on. The difficulty only affects the amount of damage you take from bullets, turrets, and melee weapons but you still may want to drop it for safety. You could probably still do it with enough patience, but you're going to want to be cautious before you get augments for things like speed and health regen.

>>7285236
You can play without augmentations entirely

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqU6VYduIs9IKzzpWWCuClTnFygw3FQnU

>>7285239
The iD RPGs are official releases and canon.

>>7285165
Yeah, it's really interesting, it was cool to see that the 2013 game took some pages out of it, like the emphasis on using magic.

>>7285249
Well what if I cheat for plenty of ammo and good enough stats that where ever I aim, I hit. Would it be viable playing it as a retro FPS then?

>>7285259
I think you'd miss out on much of what makes Deus Ex special, but yes, you could do it

What are some must have maps/mods for Shogo?

>>7285182
I always thought that was a goofy idea, because there's demonstrably more than one single Cyberdemon, and they all have the same cybernetic prosthetics.

>>7285256
To me, they make more sense as their own canon.

S'cool, bro.

>>7285242
Quality takes time. I'll be working on the flamethrowers soon. One I get those sorted out, the altfires will be done for all the weapons, then it's just a matter of figuring out refinements for the other weapons.

>>7285248
Yeah I might. The retcons are impossible to follow though. There was THE cyber demon but in D64 you fight like 2-3 in the same stage. So who knows

>>7285197
It's interesting to see how such a concept wasn't even a thing for a decade or two and then suddenly everyone is saying he's related when the original thing was, he's the player and that's why he never speaks. Just seems like a cheap idea to arouse a fanbase. Funny how people claim these things when this is the game with developers who literally said that plot in a game is like plot in a porno. As far as I'm concerned, doom guy isn't related to anything. He's just some marine that represents you, the player.

>>7285303
misquote but the poster knows I was talking to him.

>>7285303
I think you're absolutely right.

>>7284765
>SPEEDrunner? More like shietrunner.

>>7285376
more like fatnugger

So I started playing the Dark Forces and I noticed something weird.
Instead of Fusion Cutter I got Wookie Bowcaster.
It acts exactly same as fusion cutter does, with same spread and sequenced shots and everything.
In my inventory it still says I have the Fusion Cutter with proper pickup sprite, the difference is only onscreen sprite.
I have GOG version and haven't modded anything.
Does GOG version inherently comes with such mod?

Any way to copy/paste maps in Doom Builder?

I want to turn Base Ganymede into a Doom 64 megawad since it already lacks revenants/archviles, but I can't open the map in DoomBuilder64. My idea is to copy/paste E1M1 and turn it into Doom2 format so that hopefully that way I can open it in DoomBuilder64

>>7285393
Try switching format and title in map settings maybe?

>>7285376
sneedrunner

>>7285392
Where are you from?

>>7285405
Far north, where bears are

I copy/pasted E1M1 into its own wad, renamed the map "map01", but DoomBuilder64 won't open it. :(

I wonder if there's a way to mod Doom so all of the levels are one giant level, where usually going into the endscreen would instead be a door that closes behind you and you can't reopen and deletes the data from the previous level, I don't know how intensive Doom can get, but I imagine it might be required.
Then you could have one big ironman of Doom, maybe even make it all on Final Doom and remake the old levels.

>>7284860
>>7284868
yea, the doom v8 should be v20 by now

>>7285471
You potentially can do this. I play doom exclusively on a personal rpg mod and everything is connected into a hub. Have close to a thousand maps in it and the save file can reach close to 100 megabytes in size since it remembers the state of every level. It's like a library of maps with hub levels (that I create) that connects them all.

>>7285471
I'm 100% sure someone already made a super Doom map with all of the maps combined.

>>7285471
That exists. Don't have it offhand.

>>7285471
>>7285498
There's a few of these, there's one which is all of Doom 2's maps stitched together, had some neat things like occasional paths going back to previous levels and what not.
I think there was also one for Doom 1, I think there it was all the levels per episode stitched together.

>>7285392
uh no the gog version does not did you download from some random site?

>>7285268
who is the girl in the middle with the knife in her mouth and the guy shrugging on the left? I always wobdered this when i first saw this deviantart-tier image.

>>7285523
No, just from GOG.
I use DarkForces+, but it doesen't have any mod files - just input configs and GlovePie script.

>>7285536
knife girl is your "rival" Samantha Sternberg who always gets BTFO'd and guy shrugging is most likely Toshiro

>>7285556
Must be early designs, barely look like their in-game portraits.

look at him go

>>7285559
Well it's just SD fanart.

I don't see any way to open Doom wads with DoomBuilder64. It looks like the only way I will ever get to play Doom wads in Doom64 is to rebuild them by hand.

I will at least do Base Ganymede E1M1. I never mapped before, so I dunno how long this will take. Wish me luck, anons.

>>7285589
Ganbatte!

Why are the texture names different in Slade and the builder?!

Nevermind, doesn't look like I can import textures from Doom anyway

>>7285623
That's because textures consist of patches, Ronnie. Open TEXTURE1 and SLADWALL is there, it consists of one patch named WLA128_1

>>7285268
There's very few but i'm interested in http://web.archive.org/web/20080106112358/http://www.planetshogo.com/legacy/, i can't find any mirrors of these online

Ah, I CAN use Doom1 textures. This is all I had to do

>>7285143
When you have to only use Doom 1 enemies, Cyberdemon ends up being the best choice of monster that makes the player rethink how they approach a situation.

>>7285045
Yes but be ready for one of the most batshit insane level designs in FPS games.

Only the wall textures loaded, but no Doom flats

>>7285589
>remaking Base Ganymede by hand for Doom 64
Interesting, I want to encourage this. Maybe you can put your own spin on the levels?

Are there any great WADs meant for fastmonsters?
I started doing UV-fast speedrunning for fun, and now I am hooked to having fast monsters, it honestly feels like the only pro way to play.
While early custom maps and official Doom levels (generally lower difficulty) are okay to play with UV-fast, anything meant to be difficult on UV can be downright killer on UV-fast with shit like firing squads and turbo pinkies.
So are there any levels that are meant to take advantage of the differing gameplay that UV-fast offers?

>>7285670
Mind that they may look really washed out and gnarly when translated to Doom 64's palette.

>>7285695
desu it'd be cooler to see you recreate it with Doom 64's own assets

>>7285698
>>7285589
Ehhh, I'm not for it. It's one thing to remake the original Doom levels to look like D64, but remaking someone else's mod just sounds really creatively bankrupt. I'm not saying you're stealing ideas, I mean creatively bankrupt in that if you're going to modify a user mappack, you would be better off just making your own mappack.

>>7285543
are you sure, cuz my version from gog has the fusion cutter

This design is worse than any of the Doom 3 enemy redesigns and you can't change my mind.

>>7285710
I just reinstalled it and it's the same

>>7285718
*blows up and kills u*

>>7285718
Nah, it's great.

>>7285718
I kinda dig it.

>>7285543
Now the question arises, why use a GlovePie script and not darkfoces dehacker?

>>7285669
I looked it up and there are files for it uploaded by monolith, it's just that they're unfinished.

>>7285718

>>7285743
Except the cacodemon.

How much of a nightmare is it to port very old Marathon TCs coded through lua scripts into modern AO builds? I'm trying to play Morgana's Revenge but it's kinda broken.

>>7285761
I remember playing Morgana's Revenge on Aleph One like 15 years ago. I didn't play much because I thought it was kinda sucky but at least one of my brothers beat it. afaik you just drag and drop the relevant Physics/Shapes/Sounds/Images/Map files in and that should be enough in most cases.

>>7285721
reinstall without df+ or whatever.

How do I get the secret count... and enemy count for that matter to pop up on the hud in gzdoom?
I typed "secret" into the options search and it says "show secret count: on" but I don't see it anywhere? I know I've seen videos where it's in the top right/top left.
Also is there a general guide showing what all the options do for that matter? I'd like to go through them so I don't have to bother you guys here.

oh god, no, how many other people played it? This is terrible.

It was before Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem 3D had a special line if you pressed 'use' on regular walls too many times.
UGH, UGH, WHERE IS IT???

>>7285771
Oh shit that worked. I thought they were mostly unplayable in modern AO builds due to how different the files looked. Now I can play with a far better resolution, control scheme and less jankiness.

>>7285792
Oh, I'm a big idiot.
It displays on the minimap. I thought it would be up on the main screen. No problem then.

Also I was just in New York for Thanksgiving. It was empty due to covid. It was sweet seeing that giant city empty. There were still people but you could cross the road alone, look both ways and see no cars.

>>7285812

Meh, my own spin will be my total inexperience in the editor. I used to use the Duke Nukem build editor in the 90s as a kid so it's not totally new.

Good idea, I'll only use Doom64 assets. I'm gonna have to spend a lot of time just looking at all of these to learn them and see what they look like, my first instinct was to choose concrete for a brutalist look, and it looks terrible

>remaking someone else's mod just sounds really creatively bankrupt
Oh, it is, and I am. I never made a map before, and at least this way, I don't have to come up with a good design while I learn the ropes. The good design is here, the question is, how do I bring it to life?

wish me luck, anons

I did. I'm not seeing what that guy sees.
But it's not a big deal. I don't want you guys to sit here and debug for me at 6 in the morning. I'll fiddle with it and look for faqs and google it.

>>7285912
You could always use a HUD mod, such as NC-HUD, it lets you configure all that stuff in one menu, it's also a fullscreen HUD which will let you see Doomguy's face.

>>7285912
Alt hud needs to be on even though my pic shows it off. My bad on that one, however, it only pops up on the main screen when you hit the plus sign until you remove the bottom bar. Imo, it's superior to the starting bar.

The lighting can look super cool

>>7285929
Simple, but groovy.

Going back to Doom from modern games was no trouble at all. Returning to Doom after Quake is a tragedy.

>>7285953
Eh I've never had a problem admitting I'm not the biggest fan of vanilla Doom gameplay, especially when compared to Build titles. Need PWADS to play it.

>>7285936
I tried to create the illusion of a cieling light by making the bottom half of the wall lighter. It's hard to tell what is what because there are no numbers, just shades of grey to indicate your brightness

this map reminds me of an area you'd see outside a shopping mall, like some little green space next to the parking lot where you let your dog piss and whatnot. i dig it.

>>7285973
Kuchitsu is an excellent mapset. It actually has a level where you come out of a parking lot and you're in front of a convenience store.
Works well for Hideous Destructor too.

Duke style mapping on ID tech is my secret fetish

So, i've decided to test the alien trilogy stuff from yesterday that q2 anon posted with Japanese doom project and btsx1.
And i must say, this shit is for pure masochists.

The Xenomorphs are rabid as fuck, the Weyland mercs can put you down fast with their guns, and you need to work well to keep them fighting each other because solo against the xenomorphs Without a Smartgun or Grenades is a death sentence.
oh and the mod also has predators in it, and they are sneaky assholes

Also you can mix Reshade Lottes with KNearestNeighbors/Denoise with a few adjustments and true color/doom software

You mentioned in a previous post about not wanting to change anything but consider taking some creative liberties and using colored lighting here and there. It really helps sells the atmosphere of D64

>>7287286

>>7287282
>>7287293
It's easier said than done. I wanted to make the bottom half green so I turned on bottom half wall lighting but the whole thing turns green, and I also chose the darkest shade of green but it still appears nearly neon.

Also you can't have different sectors with different height next to eachother with that light setting because the shading will be different on the two walls due to different height so you have to use it selectively

>>7287240
Try spending 3 days rendering LOD textures in the GECK for it to just explode

>>7287481
Well I misspoke - I have different heigh sectors all over this room and the all have darker ceiling / darker top half of wall and it looks great, but in the next room is where I encountered problems with the light. I went ahead and recreated it - all the light levels here are the same, only different is sector height

>>7287491
Keep experimenting, man, you'll get the hang of it.

>>7284954
I don't think there's any clear visual cue that you should, but I've always figured the idea was that the two imps that lurk in there are inevitably gonna fireball you as you approach, so you're probably meant to shoot and hit the wall accidentally.

Of course, if they wander away...

>Hit the plus sign
THANK (YOU)!
>>7287536
I think you're correct after playing it a few times.

>>7287491
I'll tell you that the biggest use of colored lighting is actually making colored walls/floors etc, because almost all Doom 64 textures are gray or brownish in order to make them easily colorable. That was a clever way to save cartridge space back then. Also look at linedef options or something like that to find settings that let you somewhat modify how that lighting gradient is render on the wall, I don't remember what that was though. There's also a neat option to mirror a texture horizontally and vertically.

>>7287564
>no fun allowed

>>7287585
Oh now I get why. That cacodemon has no limbs, how is it even able to drive?

Playthrough video of map23 of 2048 units of /vr/ is up. A very hectic map that gave me a lot of trouble during practice, but I managed to cheese it.

So I CAN copy/paste sectors from other pwads into DoomBuilder64. They show up pitch-black, though

>>7287564
>Unless it was tranny shit.

That predated the widespread use of trannyposting by about four years, bud.

>>7287639
A height issue? Look dude I'm not trying to dissuade you from creating. You should. "porting" classic maps to 64 might be a wasted endeavor. The only real difference is textures and the actual scale.

You can achieve both of these using a texture pack and "big doom" set to about 1.5 IIRC. Its not perfect but it works. If your going to do it. Do it all the way and use colored lighting/reverb/fog, but you have a fuck ton of work ahead of you

In the thing options there should be a checkbox labeled "spawner", make sure that's checked. You can assign a tag to an actor and have it spawn in via a macro script, or line action (224).

>>7287923
Over before you know it

>>7287929
>>7287910
Oh yeah, looking at the screenshot you posted here >>7287845 you can see that the arachnotron (tagged 49) is spawned in by macro 9. All you need to do is find what triggers the script.

They are fun.

This is what happens when I try to playtest copy/pasted sectors. It's acting like there's an undefined sidedef middle texture, even though in the editor everything's fine. Perhaps it's intentional. Looks like I gotta make my own maps. Why hasn't anyone made maps for REKKR?

There's a config file somewhere so you can see the proper objects. Don't know if you're using that or not. I think it's on one of the forum posts somewhere.

Yea I can't do this. The original Doom64 levels are bland enough, especially the fun levels, I'll look to those for inspiration, and probably use the D4V mod since I can create a bunch of fresh encounters with new enemies and aim for limit-removing compatibility
