Good morning, Ogre!

Good morning, Ogre!

Is there any Wolfenstein mod that has like a cross dressing Hitler or the kind of joke you'd expect in a 2000's comedy movie?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42oucm_lj50

>>7867561
Wolf3d doesn't get many mods and Hitler wasn't in RtCW.

>hexen
more like sexin(men) lol

Started making the sprites for the beach ball. I think the animation is fine, now I have to shade everything.

SOMEONE RECOMMEND ME A VANILLA HERETIC MEGAWAD EPISODE WHATEVER FUCK

"Hordes of Chaos" if you like slaughter

>>7867654
>Heretic Slaughter
Gee I'd love to have to deal with a hundred rat bastard ophidians being stupidly tanky and not flinching while they spit more nonstop projectile spam than an arachnotron

>>7867654

literal troll wad
I will try those two
thank you anon

sieged by CHICKENS wtf

what are some good heretic mapsets for someone that hasn't played heretic in a while?
also, gameplay mods, specially unique ones that aren't tied to doom
praying whatever windows 11 is doesn't fuck up my doom stuff

>>7867682
They are literally snakes, why do you call them rats? Hordes of Chaos includes even more annoying enemy type - a hybrid of lion and centaure with a shield that reflects projectiles (maybe this one from hexen?). Overall, sponginess is mostly balanced out by giving player a lot of tomes of power.

>>7867543
Good morning, Ogre!

Thoughts about the new Doom's fandom?

>>7867732
as long as they carry the things that matter and the legacy, i can forgive all of their unfunny jokes and consoomer behavior if it doesn't trample their potential interest for cool content and old blood traits that should be learned
after all, a bunch of people are already backing up realm667 stuff after recent events

>>7867732
They exist? Haven't they moved on to wtv bullshit is hot now?

Eternal does not seem like the game to change a generation.

>>7867543
Good morning, ogre!

>>7867543
we do a little bit of csqc hud tomfoolery

So we all agree Hexen 2 is better then Hexen right?
>>7867732
They're fine, a few too many rip and tear memes but that's kinda our fault for bringing up that stupid comic a lot.

>>7867543
Good morning ogre i hope you catch a good one

>>7867757
Anything is better than switch hunting sim.

>>7867543
Good morning, Ogre!

>>7867545
Q2 is really getting lots of good stuff of late, all it needs now is a map pack made on lazarus

>>7867543
GOOD MORNING, OGRE!

Is it normal for the archvile to sometimes get stuck in the enemies they revive or is it the version of prboom I'm using?

>>7867752
I like that, how do you attain this?

>>7867732
Stepping into nudoom fanzones is like a completely different world, probably because most of them are from a different generation. They focus on different things, they act different, and they function mostly identically to any other modern fanbase.

>>7867543
GOOD MORNING, OGRE!

Has anyone ever done a Dead Simple community project
i.e. every map is a Dead Simple clone

>>7867858
Yes, april fools last year. DScythe.wad

Why yes, I made the most memorable map of Doom 2. How could you tell?

>>7867887
Cause i know you made it and it is memorable.
You are misusing the meme ya dunce.

>>7867887
> you didn't make The Chasm

>>7867684
It's usual gimmick wad, that Ryath tends to make.

If you aren't allergic to zdoom, there is Faithless, which is best thing ever made for Heretic. It's basically mix up of Heretic and Hexen, that still feels reasonably vanilla.

Got around to playing Duke again, the designated sewer level called "brown water" oh boy.

>>7867879
>>7867858
What about every map is icon of sin?

The level was actually pretty short, ended up in this quite nice looking hallway, I wonder where we are...

Oh. Well, this is surprising.

>>7867919
The difference is that Dead Simple clones can be fun, Icon of Sin maps aren't

>>7867887
If you're talking Dead Simple, Sandy Petersen was also involved in the making of that map. I'd even argue the concept was likely Petersen's idea, as McGee's maps generally weren't very conceptual, besides maybe The Crusher if you can even count that, where as Petersen loved doing concept maps, especially in Doom 2.

In this universe everyone loves donuts. As it should be. And a nice scribble of an Octobrain on the wall. And a picture of the then-Commander-in-Chief.

Exiting the building via the pipe in the fountain we find ourselves in a... submarine dock?
Quite interesting. I didn't think the Pentagon was that near the harbor.

>>7867934
I thought they meant The Inmost Dens personally

>>7867837
>pistol complex

"USS DEFIANT" was actually a ship on Star Trek!
I was wondering if they were like names of actual submarines but they were a cheeky reference.

Ditto for "USS MINNOW", another Star Trek reference.

Some kind of a control building off to the side, with two suicide drones inside.

>>7867941
I also assumed Dead Simple because posts literally before it were talking about it.

The control building from the inside.

>>7867930
You can make them fun if there's more to it and ideally you don't have to jump off the ledge to level your aim with brain.

>>7867887
McGee maps were based and more fun to play than Petersen's maps.

Right now aboard the Defiant. I was lost for quite a bit but then dove under the submarine and saw a hatch to enter.

The hallways are pretty cramped. Perfect for pipe bombs. Not that good for the laser tripwire mines because of the doors that keep closing.

Mess hall for the crew. The more I play Duke levels the less I think they are connected to any sort of "plot" even loosely speaking in the expansions especially since it seems like a very transparent excuse to do some fighting in a submarine or whatever but hey, it's charming and funny and I think it works well. Like the pigcops who are acting as the sailors here seem to like the porn mags and nudie girl posters... Also Born to be Wild apparently.

woah

Good thing they have a fully stocked bar! I would personally go cuckoo crazy on a submarine so good that these guys at least have something to get shitfaced on lol.

The bridge / the commanding room whatever. The end goal here is to launch the torpedoes to be able to open a door that leaves out of the area.

Anyone know where to get blade of agony? I tried to download it and its gone, looked on their website and they're doing some faggy pozzed update because some trannies reed over the wad for some reason.

>>7867887
american invented plutonia true story

Using dehacked, is it possible to change the sound of the player shotgun without altering the iconic sound of the chaingunner?

>>7867987
That's pretty creative. What mapset is this?

>>7868029
Not sure if you can do it in earlier versions, but Extended Dehacked lets you add new sounds (DSFRE000, DSFRE001, etc.) without replacing existing ones and MBF21 lets you use A_WeaponSound to give a weapon a custom sound when firing, though you'd have to define a new attack as well since A_FireShotgun automatically plays DSSHOTGN.

There was, and some maps were submitted, but looks like it never got finished: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/102244-iconography-the-obligatory-icon-of-sin-community-project/

>>7868006
I have it. I think someone linked it two or three threads ago, so you should be able to track it down. If not I'll try to remember to upload it.

>>7868098
Doom's got too much RNG for the heavy ammo scarcity some mappers like doing. I always have more fun when I'm full of every type of ammo and can play however I want.

Built-in randomizer mod that selects a random map out of 32 variants for current slot.

>>7868067
It is possible that the version in the final game was completely made by American McGee, as its visuals is very much inline with most of his other maps, while the original version which can be found in one of the beta builds looks like something Sandy would have made.

>>7868120
That actually sounds like a shitload of fun. Only thing you run into is an issue with who gets to use what key.
You could set it up so one anon lays out a city block with 3 keys to unlock an exit in a subway or tunnel or some such, with 3 building lots being buildings where you get keys, and a bunch of other buildings being just for exploration or requiring keys to get in.

Each lot is a different shape and size, so if someone wants to just make a small mom and pop store or minor area they can. Little park... Community swimming pool.

>>7868208
>welcome to /vr/ town, please stake your claim

>>7868213
Pretty much. Just number the lots and letter the zones. Industrial, suburb, commercial. It wouldn't be hard to fill in the gaps with dummy buildings. Just spitballing.

>>7868195
That thread is pretty cringy, anon.

>>7868224
So are some posts here, in truth the general opinion of the thread isn't too far off for how a lot of anons feel about post Half Life FPS.

>>7868196
It cant be that hard to do anon.

So, the Zoroark threads down on /vp/ have gotten me in a writefaggy mood as of late, so I decided to crank this shit out for some reason. I don't know why I did this, but here's a diddy about Anon and pic related. Enjoy, somehow.

https://ghostbin.co/paste/4rps6n

>>7867835
99% sure that the Arch-Vile shouldn't be able to do that due to collision checks (on his end, anyway, if the guy he's rezzing gets stuck that's not his problem), so that's probably the version that you're using.

>>7868273

>>7868232
NOLF, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, RTCW, FEAR, Serious Sam, Quake 3, UT, Opposing Force, Stalker are kino.

>Congestion 1024 Map08
Do I suck or is the consensus that this map is actual fucking garbage

>>7867757
God, no! Hexen 2 is worse. Still a great game, but not nearly as inspired: unique dark fantasy replaced by boring not-cultures, shit enemy design for the most part (spiders, mummies, imps, panthers, scorpions, such epic enemies!), most of which also have invincibility frames that are telegraphes very poorly, Eidolon is barely present compared to Korax's constant taunts, also he's just Satan. Soundtrack is also blander when it's original and not just remixes. Some puzzles are bugged, movement feels weird, classes are a rehash but each one feels worse than their counterpart except for the Necromancer but that's not surprising because the Mage was hot garbage. Also Hexen 2 has no automap. And you can't "use" things.
On the other hand, Hexen 2 is a lot harder, which is good, has lots of good puzzles, which is great, when it gets it right, it's awesome (skull wizards are awesome in every way).

How dark is doom 64 supposed to be? I pushed it to max brightness before I felt like I saw anything. My telly never has issues with other titles so I assume this game is either designed for dark rooms or for maxed out gamma.

i'm friends with two of them; they're neat guys

Weird question, was there any hub-bub about the Duke 3D level where you escape from prison (map3? I forget exactly) back at release time? I ask specifically because, the first time I played it, I was briefly puzzled about how to exit, until I did simple process of elimination to figure out the exit. Now, the game is obviously chock-full of movie references, and that was plainly references Shawshank, which I realized after the fact when thinking about it. My thinking was, Duke was popular with a lot of kids, even if it wasn't necessarily advertised as a kid's game. Did they have trouble with that exit? Was that element of shawshank well known enough at the time that most anybody would have known the exit? I'm asking just out of curiosity; I don't think it was a big puzzle or anything, but I could see it throwing someone off, especially someone not used to having to use the thing between their ears for shooters.

>a large Tricks & Traps level where every door at the start leads to a room designed by a different mapper

Anyone know the console command to decrease the crosshair scale on raze? I don't like how it's locked at 0.25.

>>7868361
Why? He chooses the most weird screenshots ever, not even showing how amazing the design is.

That one fo the things IF has going for it big lengthy game with great design.

>>7868448
nvm, it's "crosshairscale 0"

>>7868456
Because I have played it and seeing screenshots of any kind makes me remember the game and that I had fun, which makes me want to play it.
It's not like he has to sell it to me, since I have already played it.

>>7868435
USS Defiant is specifically the Deep Space Nine ship though, there's no real USS Defiant.

>>7868465
Adding that the USS Defiant IS named after a real world ship, the HMS Defiant, still, calling a ship USS Defiant is pretty clearly a DS9 reference, especially considering it was on air at the time and I'm pretty sure the Defiant was introduced to the show right around when Douk was in development.

>>7868524
When I play it, yeah.

>>7868525
Actually I'm wrong there's no HMS Defiant either, that was the name of the movie, there's plenty of HMSs Defiance and USSs Defiance but no HMS Defiant or USS Defiant.

Do you know how to use those new code pointers? I'm having trouble with A_WeaponSound.

So they left it at
>its racist
Cause of the feminist elves

>>7868623
Holy shit I figured it out. I had it right the first time, but you don't type "A_WeaponSound," it's just "WeaponSound."

Pic related is an example of how to use code pointers. This mod replaces the CloseShotgun2 code pointer with one that simply plays a sound, so that the shotgun will no longer fire on the exact frame that the closing sound is played

Arkane were doing a 007 type game with niggurs.
But it looks like shit.

And i bet it wont take itself fun at all. We cant have fun.

Fun and boobs are racist. Spitroasting, violence and general dehumanising violence is fine however.

Dont get take me too serious as well, I know violence as been used thorough history better to propel as story or to shock than sex but the issue today is worse.
its about deleting emotion and engagement in the world much like my comment will be.

See? Those who are more concerned about this stuff ultimately show their true colours.

Like in ResetEra where they dropped "coon" several times.

>>7868789
Same goes for Turok to an extent.
It's zany and over the top but it actually shows some knowledge and care for the culture.

Same goes for SW. 3D Realms clearly made their research on different locations and it's a tribute to those martial arts movies.
If it had a caricature that looked like it came straight out of a propaganda in WW2 then I would get it.

>>7868769

I seriously didn't expect Soldier of Fortune to be this good,the weapon feedback it's incredible.

>>7868774
>>7868776
I can kind of see how asians could see Shadow Warrior as ignorant / offensive but personally I see 3drealms just taking the kung fu movie aesthetic, toss in all the asian tropes and deliver it with a tongue in cheek attitude and for some reason it just works really well.

Hell, they made Redneck Rampage and treated the rural south with the same kinda attitude though sadly Redneck Rampage's bit of a scuffed shooter compared to Shadow Warrior but both games get their laughs in a similar manner, with very cheap jokes that end up being amusing anyway.

So, have you guys ever taken any paid work to make maps/script/whatever in the Doom engine? I'm asking because I'm considering making a project in GZDoom to eventually sell on Steam, and it wouldn't be fair for me to ask people to work for free.

On the other hand, I know that getting money involved in modding tends to end pretty badly, like that paid mod fiasco years ago.

>>7868829
Pretty sure you can use GZDoom's engine to make a game.
Thats what I think SGTMARK4 is doing. I think his Brutal Fate game is GZDoom a heavily modified version of GZdoom though

>>7868829
Judging by the games in the background I guess this pic was taken in 2005 or 2006?

>>7868829
GZDoom is fine for commercial projects, there's a handful available already on Steam. Figure out your finances and reach a written agreement with the people you're working with if you're serious about the money you're trying to make.

>>7868782
You may be joking, but I remember as a teenager I thought a build engine game based on 90's hip-hop/rap culture with a bit of blaxsploitation thrown in there would have been dope. Made sense to me since it fit the whole Build "take a pop-culture subgenre and make a big fun caricature out of it" thing. You could have a badass main dude that spouts cool one-liners, with like a glock and some uzis, and maybe like a big boombox rocket launcher thing. Tons of cool city levels, from ghettos to luxurious mansions. Chicken and drank as health refills, with maybe weed that acts kinda like RR's alcohol. Tons of music references...
It all felt like both worlds fit naturally together. I never went anywhere with it cause I'm a country boy from bumfuck nowhere, Europe, so I knew I wouldn't have the instinctual jive needed to make it work, but if I grew up in America I would have been working on that shit day and night

>>7868824
Yeah, Soldier of Fortune has some pretty damn good 'feel' to the guns.
Didn't really like the submachine gun in SoF1 though and it lacked a proper assault rifle, I enjoyed it more when SoF2 came out and you could have essentially a half lifeish game feel and tear up terrorists and narcosoldiers with an M4 carbine and other realistic guns.
Fun fact but John Mullins, the game's protagonist was U.S Special Forces in Vietnam / Laos and iirc an actual mercenary afterwards, he's a pretty based old coot.

Its okay. For its time it was amazing. it just showed how much pcs were flexing consoles it would be some years until RE4 came along with also location damage. Although I guess goldeneye had it.

Its a bit jank I replayed it recently and its AI is full fucking dumb and there are tons of wipeout kills in the highest difficulties. its cheap as fuck sometimes. Not good in the gameplay department but decent I guess.

I think Kingpin played a bit better.

Dont forget to use SOF plus if you are playing in a mdoern rig. its great.

But man it really revels in its 80s action movie feel. Infiltrating a missile factory beneath a Sudanese slaughterhouse is pure fun. I guess it would be racist today as well like RE5.

>>7868861
I watched a youtube interview that was streamed in like 2020 or so.
He was talking pretty extensively about what he did in the Studies and Observations Group in Laos / Cambodia as part of the secret war that was waged as an extension of the Vietnam conflict.
Pretty fascinating stuff.

SOF sucks like all 00's shooters.

>>7868829
Isn't Hedon made in GZD?
And that REKKR dude, while not in GZD, is also selling it.

You didn't know them?

They are actually pretty both of them. And you dont need to know anything about star trek.

The first is actually quality star trek material writing and nice contained story. The second is more brainless and shooting and tits since it was done by Ritual.

But still a decent game.

>>7868774

Ritual were too based for this world, the mole near Elexis lips says it all.

>Turns out they're the peak as ST games go

Sort off. I think some were okay, like Starfleet Command series, Bridge Commmander.

ST is kinda withering away these days, thankfully the much gayer Mass Effect didn't really seemed to take the torch.

This is natural today anyway pop culture is tired and slowly degrading and cant seem to produce anything that sticks.

I heard mixed opinions regarding the sequels and about the protagonist I was intrigued to play it also because he's a real guy.

>>7868884
So far it's good to me,I was impressed to see how the enemies corpses can be affected and some of them with their guts out.

>But man it really revels in its 80s action movie feel
I instantly had Commando vibes from it,your guns are WMDs ready to take over everyone.

>I guess it would be racist today as well like RE5
It's clearly a product of its time but I doubt it.
RE 5 just had a setting but other than that nothing racist about it.
The only offensive part was seeing zombies with guns,that's a little too silly.

>>7868895

>>7868895

>>7868915
Mass Effect didn't feel like it wanted to take its mantle. Just partially inspired.

Honestly I'm glad Star Trek didn't just the shark nearly as much Star Wars did

>>7868930
Soldier of Fortune 2 is really good, personally I think it's where the franchise peaked but also obviously preferences.

Payback was kind of crap and the gore was vastly downgraded from SoF2 as well. Though gunning down terrorists etc had it's own cathartic fun feel to it but I wouldn't pay much for it.

There's gotta be a better way to make pipes like this, rather than clipping out all the angles manually, right? This felt kinda silly to do.

>>7868928
idk probably not a intel one. heard intels dont really work well with vulkan but idk

>>7868947
2007 to 2012 was a bad time for FPS games.
Everyone trying to copy Halo or COD just to make a forgettable game,lacking a real identity
Turok was also a victim of this

>>7868963
00's fps were never good

>>7868895
The 2nd also has a coop mod, that I wish the first had. I really like the first game. It works damn well.
The 2nd game also has an issue with the direction as a lot of the dialogue feels mis-spoken or out of place. Like they didn't have someone who knew the context in the booth. But it's still a solid game.

There's also the RPG mod that I can't personally give a shit about, but might be up someone's alley.

>>7868965
Hard disagree on that one bruv.

>>7868965

>>7868941
The first Elite Force does not feel old school at all. Just classic, its basically a bermuda triangle story. And each level an awesome ghost ship story.

>>7868965
Fuck it I'll bite
All up to 2005 it was filled with great games.
Console FPSs were getting better with Metroid Prime and TImesplitters.
Horror ones became more ambitious and so on.

It's a more experimental phase with mostly good ones

>>7868934
>Elite Force 3 with her in your quarters between missions never ever.

I did not need to know this so I can now feel pain. My GOD, why did we lose ritual. The times was wrong Juliet, like that dire straits music fuck.

>>7868993
Debatable it was a time of suffering for me, not for other genres, I was having a blast wiht Homeworld 1 and 2 and many other shit, but fps?

Down the fucking drain. We reached for the time in the 90s. When I saw Thief, bioshit prostituting themselves and games being made to fit negative ram of consoles it was unbearable. I think the hatred never left even if I am okay with consoles today.

>>7868950
manually clipping is silly. I guess the proper way is shearing, but I just do it with rotates and ignore the grid. gimme a sec, I'll record a vid.

Is there a tool that converts numbers into fixed-point numbers for Doom dehacked stuff?

>>7869003
It was awful for classic franchises turning that way. Even Duke couldn't escape but I forgive Doom 3 given what it was going for was different.

I'm glad other ones were left alone or changed to give birth to another franchise.
Like System Shock 3 was bound to happen but then turned into Dead Space.
Horror games in the 2000s to me were at their peak

>>7868930
>I instantly had Commando vibes from it


It also still had the 90s grit in it.


This is the only thing from the 90s I miss which Quake and many other pieces of music and art had. A certain edgy griminess and artsy look.

Like Sacrifice, Requiem, tons of other shit you guys know.

Minimalistic clean shit today looks soulless and gross.

>>7869017
The hatred never left me, games like Thief had a gigantic impact in me, they reached for the fucking sky ID, looking glass, raven etc. Same thing happened with crpgs we never got another "Torment" or BG until quite recently.

>>7868930
>kindle only
:(

>>7868950
What I usually do is:
>extrude a new segment of cylinder
>move the axis of the rotate tool to the inner edge
>rotate towards where it needs to connect
>repeat on the other end
>select the face between segments and CTRL + J to join them
It's not quite as precise as using a quarter of a grid circle as a guide, but it works pretty well.

Duke Nukem 3D was basically the first (or among the fist) set piece FPS and had the same gameplay idea as Half Life - move around visually impressive areas, while cool stuff happens on the screen. The enemy design and combat in general took a nosedive in comparison to Doom, the abundance of hit scanners was especially bad. It's a fun game, but if you want to find the roots of the modern shooter idiocy then Build Engine games are a good start.

>>7869032
>select the face between segments and CTRL + J to join them
Shit dude, I should read a manual or something before jumping headlong in. That would've been good to know.
Thanks.

What I got so far. It'll be a little intro area I guess, leading up to that archway which will be a bridge. then a building of some sort. Just kinda playing it by ear I as mess around with the editor.

>>7868952
I've been using a laptop with Intel for a while, but it's time to get a better one, one which is more compatible with the 3D game I play the most and which can give me the best performance.

I still am not gonna play those huge maps with color contrasts in the darkness and where all the monster encounters are floodfills, because those are really lame.

>>7869045
Nice. Can't wait to see it completed.

>>7868950
>>7869045
yeah, so what the other anon said basically.
I've added a bit about texturing (shift_click, then drag shift+alt+click). you'd want a flat face along the rotation axis for this kind of texturing.

>>7869064
Cool. Yeah, that looks a lot easier. Thanks /vr/os

>>7869057
Have you ever considered maybe using LZDoom?
It uses an older renderer and stuff and runs really great.

>>7869084
No, because I want the nicer graphics options.

>>7869090
Then idk maybe read for yourself online. Google exists as does the zdoom website.

>>7869090
Also, I usually get pretty good or decent performance most of the time with GzDoom, but I want that to be the case even in prettier or more densely populated maps.

>>7869018
It's the kind of vibe that I wish could comeback.
Painkiller was really close to it but I wanted something more "honest".
I don't think minimalism is bad just overdone

>>7868852
Despite being cheap in the gameplay department they nailed the guns, The flourishes are amazing even today.

The heavy machine feels like it shoots nukes, with the sound desgin of each shell hitting the floor feels like chunks of masculinium.

>>7869141
Minimalism is fucking trash.

Game UI just went backwards not forwards.

>>7868660
Dump 3

>>7868965
Cringe and underage.

>>7869141
I think most people don't understand how to do minimalism well.

>>7868769
I never into mapping, but my guess is that that hole leads to an inaccessible monster closet with a teleporter inside. Firing your gun in the room with that hole alerts the monsters in the closet to stumble around until they find the teleporter and spawn in to kill you.

>>7869189
Minimalism when done right it can be beautiful,see Journey.

>>7869148
I disagree,is just that those who make it a selling point suck at it and became the definition of "lazy" but it's not.
I'm still not a fan of it

>>7869207
>>7869207

I dont mean gaming like journey I mean UI and aesthetic sense.

>>7869210
Bad UIs is less of minimalism fault and more being unable to make something pleasing to the eye.
I remember 3 years ago they showed Doom Eternal for the first time and had a simple but cool UI.
Then over the years they turned it into a shit multicolored mess

>>7869042
duke3d still puts modern shooters to shame with how interactable everything is. i'm sure people who played it in 96 felt so hyped as to how future generations would be able to expand on that concept. but nah, we just got bigger textures and overbearing shaders while the gameplay stayed as shallow as ever

>>7867757
I feel it has enough strengths & weaknesses to balance it out to pretty much even. The combat is overall better because the enemies arent complete pushovers, but some of them are way too OP (mainly the angels). And the puzzle design is overall more interesting because it isnt just switches and keys, but there are a couple puzzles that are overly confusing. Also, Hexen 2 has some amazing visuals, but Hexen has some better atmosphere due to the ambient sounds and environmental effects.

is there any way to pull an individual decorate actor through slade without just manually copying all the sprite/sounds/decorate code? i swear either slade or xwe had a feature like that but i've never been able to refind it

I feel like Ion Fury lacked a quick melee like a kick and a slide.

The combat is fun in IF but its very finnicky at times.

Fuck they could have made the rockets from the mechs and flying guys a bit clearer to see.

>>7868660

>>7868950
Extrude a brush from the main cylinder. Shear it so it has a 2/1 world units ratio. Copy both brushes, flip so theyre perpendicular to the originals. Then select the faces of the 2/1 brush and join, creating a 1/1 brush. Not the worlds most perfect circle, but it works.

Shogo was the best 1998 fps.

>>7869350
yeah that would probably be cool to have a quick melee attack in Ion Fury and those rockets can be pretty hard to see from those flying dudes,
Honestly i always save the SMG for those guys. Just fuckin rapes them desu.
My only problem with Ion fury is feeling like a total noob when i finish an area
>you missed 21 secrets. Are you sure you'd like to proceed
Lol and i usually find at least a few secrets in between every level loading zone.

>>7869376
You're either baiting, have heavy nostalgia glasses, or are just insane.

>>7869380
Nostalgia goggles are kinda interesting. For instance, I fucking love Trespasser. It's great. I've played the hell out of it. I've played it repeatedly, back to back. And I know it's shit.
Nostalgia has to be a component of that because I can see all the flaws. The goggles do nothing, in that regard. But when I play it I still get the same satisfaction when I twitch shoot a raptor with those weird floaty arms, or successfully narrowly evade a T-Rex with it's fucked up collision. At the time of release I was blown away more by what it was trying to accomplish more than it's actual success at the task. So much so that it let me see past all that and somehow immerse myself in a one armed world of limping dinosaurs.
And when I play it now I don't find it clunky at all, aside from it being obviously so. I completely get how anyone who plays it now would think it was trash, hell I understand how someone who played it at release would think that. But it engrained the physics of the world and the pre-wii wrist controls in me that it's like I never stopped playing. After the first level I'm smacking raptors to death with my gun despite having an excess of ammo, just to see if I can get away with it. Because it never stopped being fun.

>>7867752
I just want one that looks like gzdoom alternative hud

>>7869427
I love Trepasser too anon. Even if its a failed fucking game there were flashes of brilliance there.

Not to mention the physics were lightyears ahead of everything.

However when its just tech achievements they get a bit more stale in my memory.

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug I agree, I played Nocturne recently and even is its jank as fuck RE clone, its so full of soul and classic horror vibe. I still love it. I am mad they didn't go to make sequels and just went bloodrayne.

They're used to alert monsters by propagating sound. You can use this to do some basic scripted encounters, like teleporting in monsters or having them open doors.
Usually you can cover them up with a midtexture or put them into places where the player won't see and/or hear them.

From what I remember, it also had handy map unit measurements so you didn't have to eyeball.
The inbuilt doombuilder utility for making curves feels a little jank and fiddly to properly make tidy curves.

By the time VR is done we'll be just above a year of practically consecutively making community projects. Please, don't fucking stop the streak.

I would probably just make a circle with the desired amount of vertexes and cut it to shape.

>GPU
Don't buy into the memes, CPU matters most. GZDoom gains little from GPU muscle for other than a few fancy effects: shadowmaps and SSAO. In my understanding from having played with clock/powersave settings on a dated weak laptop and a recent desktop (both AMD), past a certain point where basic shader execution and fillrate or something ceases to be a bottleneck, GPU has very little effect on performance. Just a guess but graphics memory bandwidth may be a factor if a laptop uses RAM for VRAM like mine does. Don't know anything about Intel GPUs (or really anything besides my own equipment) but I'd guess anything from AMD or Nvidia that comes with a recent laptop that has a good CPU in the first place probably is fine. Maybe the absolute cheapest ones have some difference, just don't expect one from the top end.

>Vulkan
It only gives me a 10% performance boost on a linedef-heavy map. On the other hand, the environment variable mesa_glthread=true (on Linux, only works with the open-source drivers for AMD/Intel) gives 33%.

I think there are some theoretical ways Doom rendering could be made to rely less on the CPU and more on the GPU in the future. But capable programmer manpower is hard to come by for a free project and Graf probably isn't too motivated to think about overhauling the engine himself as long as whatever rig he uses manages 60fps on medium-sized maps, so I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon.

For the flying guys I found the Ion Bow to be really good. Charge up a multi shot and it usually gibs them if you're anywhere close to them. If they're far away the revolver is good.

I don't mind some of that stuff, I'd like having dynamic lights not clip walls.

>It only gives me a 10% performance boost on a linedef-heavy map.
That's not too insignificant to me.

>On the other hand, the environment variable mesa_glthread=true (on Linux, only works with the open-source drivers for AMD/Intel) gives 33%.
I'm not the most tech savvy, what would this mean? I couldn't expect to get all that much more than 10% if I stick with Windows 10?

Anything else worth a look at besides Dread Templar (which has amazing music) on the Steam demo thing?

My laptop with integrated Intel HD graphics got absolutely filtered by Lullaby.wad
Works perfect on my desktop GeForce.
Are you going to tell me it's because laptop is i5 while desktop i7?

Oh so you're saying any modern top-end discrete GPU is enough for Doom? Good to know.
Btw that Intel HD mentioned in >>7870427 does a decent job in WoW, Dota2 and Minecraft.

What a nice looking mod, really didn't expect such taste and attention to details from the person is who responsible for Beautiful Doom

Does anyone remember when Doom 3 RoE had that automatic turret section on a bridge?
I wonder if some mapsets ever implemented a turret that the player could deactivate if he pressed the right switches or used the right keys.

>>7870489
There's something like that in Magnolia.

Neat, thanks anons. For years I thought they were hints at a secret sector or something lol.

The bottom line being that some people couldn't be reasoned with and fighting them was necessary was a smart move, I feel you. While the show's positive message was great, sometimes things really are like that and it was nice that Star Trek didn't pretend that wasn't true.

Temple of Flesh in HFFM uses the tag 666 to lower the switch to crush the cyberdemons. Doesn't it only work on map07?

>>7870609
666 activates if Keens are killed.

>>7870635
Ah, I see. I'm dumb, thanks.

that warm and fuzzy feeling when you shamelessly steal parts of mods left and right and not feel any remorse doing it

That was not my point anything is good against them.

They like the rest of the trash ai just wander aimlessly and erratically, and you cant see teh missiles coming for you well enough.

I managed them on maximum fury of course, they are the only credible threat outside the mechs.

>>7869847
Pleasing aesthetics. Where are the textures from?
>>7870041
Thats probably because in Quake your collision box is a cube that never rotates. So rounding corners is more awkward than it should be.

No idea. Whatever was included with violent rumble.

Currently building a sector tree + treehouse.
I have already 8 different sector tags just for those three branches and the treehouse.
I also considered building the tree as model in Trenchbroom, but I didn't want to start with that shit now.

>>7870808
Frankly, I didn't do that for you, but after trying out I really liked the blue one better in the end.

Daily reminder that if you haven't played Blade of Agony before it got taken down, don't ever bother. It's currently being pozzed and scrubbed of everything the trannies found "offensive."

>>7870401
>I'm not the most tech savvy, what would this mean? I couldn't expect to get all that much more than 10% if I stick with Windows 10?
I don't have Windows installed so can't confirm myself if it makes performance on Linux better than on Windows, but I suspect it does and it might entirely level out the infamous driver advantage of Nvidia over AMD in GZDoom which is due to drawcalls being handled slowly. This feature sends them instantly to a different thread that issues them in batches so they don't block the game, which improves performance. AFAIK the proprietary drivers don't do that and aren't expected to because AMD has basically abandoned improving their OpenGL implementation. Some info, outdated chart: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Performance_impact_of_Mesa_glthread

>>7870427
Hard to say. As I said I don't know much about Intel GPUs but I think it's common for them to perform quite poorly compared to AMD/Nvidia. I think they also suffer from the memory bandwidth thing I mentioned. To test how big a factor shader performance is you could try LZDoom - if it's significantly faster then the GPU is not at the level I mean is "enough" that it no longer matters.

>>7870431
>Oh so you're saying any modern top-end discrete GPU is enough for Doom? Good to know.
Huh? No, I guess I worded it a bit confusingly. I'm saying I believe there's very little difference in performance between somewhere around current low-ish midrange and the top end. Especially if you don't mind ignoring the few demanding effects that actually use the GPU where the difference is probably greater.

>>7867930
I dunno. I think Icon of Sin clone has less requirements to be one than a Dead Simple clone does.
Dead Simple maps not only require the 666/667 tags (and their respective monsters), but they have to be used to promote arena style gameplay to still feel like a Dead Simple map. If the tags are used for entirely different purposes (like in Valiant's Mancubian Candidate), then it doesn't feel like a dead simple map to me.
Where as I'd argue that Icon of Sin maps only really need to involve the boss shooter and perhaps the boss brain to feel like one. The Lift Gimmick is just one of many ways you can tackle the setup, but not required.

>>7870834
Aside the fact those complains were dumb,what the hell trannies have to do with this?

>>7870041
>>7870682
Anyone can explain to me why in some rare occasions the DeathKnight fireballs and Scrag loogies tend to just block players movement instead of inflicting damage when you approach an already launched projectile from certain angles? This stuff drives me crazy sometimes as its both a blessing (potential dmg avoided) and a curse (momentum reset mid-dodge) - not to mention that somehow this anomaly also got carried into the Quake2 engine as well, as enemy blaster shots and rockets also start behaving as solid obstacles if you get bunnyhopping fast enough behind them...

>>7870834
I played a little in the past, and didn't even like it.

Would it be possible to have a map give different pickups for if someone was playing pistol start vs continuous?

>>7870834
I played the first two missions and while I kinda enjoyed it, ultimately I didn't really like it. Still saving the file for preservation purposes. Fuck commies.

>>7870853
Sure, just have an ACS script detect inventory and change pickups accordingly.
