HFFM on idgames when?

Shut up eggplant

>>7940194
Never.

>>7940168
i just tried it and it was the most confusing thing ive ever played

Chasm:the rift have a mouse issue for me
>It spinning around
>Try fix the mouse but it not work

I can't get the music to work with PanzerChasm ahhhhhhhhh

Duke couldn't handle this

>>7940193
Very soon.

Just discovered by odd coincidence that Marathon: Resurrection, the Unreal Tournament mod which remakes the entire original Marathon campaign, just received its officially final update, exactly 14 years after the most recent update. I vaguely remember some of the Pfhor having Skaarj AI, and that when you start the mod, the original "Somewhere in the heavens, they are waiting..." opening has appended to it "...and now they're pissed!".

>>7940324

>>7940075
BD got popular enough with game journos and let's players while HD is still relatively niche as fuck
It's the difference between YandeSim and Space Station 13

Any good Wolfenstein wads.

>>7940206
Hideous Destructor isn't one of those things you just pick up and play, it has a manual which you need to read, and then you've gotta set up binds (not all binds are critical, but some are). It's also not for everyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNTX38yJK4o

If you like the idea of Hideous Destructor though, and you're willing to invest the time into learning it, you'll probably love it.

I was wondering how you achieved the effect you did in this map, and I went to look inside of it, and I'm even more confused than before. There's self-referencing sectors I think, but also multiple sectors occupying the same space?

>>7940383
not super interested n ARMA in doom as of now but love the trailer,loled at "you are not this guy (doomguy),or this guy (doomslayer),you are at best this guy (shows random uac guy from the moonbase in eternal)"

>>7940414
What makes it unique is that A, you still have evil demons from hell who can do bullshit devil magic to you (much worse than in the original game even), and B, you still have Doom level design. Combined with the realistic weapon handling, inventory handling, and wound handling, and it's a mix you don't find anywhere else.

>>7940419
You must be fun at parties

>>7940419
>fps
>realism
Found the COD kiddie.

Wait, why do people not like HDest all of a sudden?

>>7940427
Contrarians.

>>7940424
>>7940426
There's many different ways to do a first person shooter, there are good realistic ones ones such as SWAT4. Also, Hideous Destructor isn't hyperrealistc either, you can bullshit so much before we even get into ridiculous sci-fi shit like Berzerk, or straight up magic.

>>7940427
Probably some irate faggot samefagging, given the comparison to Call Of Duty of all things, as if COD is even an iota as realistic as claimed, or that its level design isn't the worst kind of linear path crap.

>>7940426
Name a genre that has more potential to be realistic.

Third-person games give you unrealistic tactical advantages. Strategy games give you unrealistic remote communication.

>>7940443
Flight sims.
I don't give af about some autist trying to inject "realism" into what is essentially a 28 year old nerd brain fart about DnD campaigns, 80s horror and Metal music.

>>7940412
I'm surprised someone actually noticed. What you are looking at is 8 textures and two light levels applied to the same wall. A lot of people don't know you can stack multiple lindefs on top of each other to create some strange effects. This is a vanilla compatible trick I stumbled upon while messing around with older editors/nodebuilders. Newer editor don't like it when you do this. Here's a demonstration video using doombuilderx and the zdbsp nodebuilder specifically.

The middle textures will keep the light level of the walls they were dragged from, and with some fiddling you can apply those midtextures to an untextured wall. However, this will very often create sector index problems and visual quirks. The top of that particular wall for instance looks different in prboom+ compared to gzdoom. Floating stacked lines like in the video are easy, but I don't have a good method for making those more advanced kind of walls yet.

>>7940509
uh, hope I didn't break anything by building new nodes then

>>7940426
How is it anything at all like COD?

>>7940509
The fuck is this black magic?!

>>7940257
change dosbox config

any mods where enemies with homing projectiles leave trails of some sort?
like the equivalent of fighting against a giant pencil in a drawing software program like paint

>>7940667
None that I can think of, but it should be pretty easy to do, make the projectile in question spawn an actor on every moving frame, and that actor has whatever graphics on its frames you want, for however long you want.

Why do you guys think about Final Doom?

How do you guys start a level? I've never done one before and I would like to try. I dont have anything particular in mind as far as ideas/gimmicks. I'm just not sure what to do after making a square room. Doesn't help that doom builder feels a little overwhelming as well. Any tips would be appreciated.

>>7940509
That's fuckin cool.

>>7940676
First you make square room, then you make it less square or connect it to another room.
Usually I start map with a few ideas in mind and improvise trying to bridge them together.

>>7940676
Once you learn how textures and linedefs work, you could try to make basic traps like walk-over lines that lower/raise walls. Doors are made a particular way, but you can make a traversable level without any of that fancy stuff. Maybe a simple square room that then has a large window pane you can walk out of into an ourdoor rocky area would be something to try to make.

>>7940324
I never heard of this. Is it good? And also does it have coop?

>>7940324
>...when you start the mod, the original "Somewhere in the heavens, they are waiting..." opening has appended to it "...and now they're pissed!"
KEKSIMUS MAXIMUS

>>7940676
You really need to analyze what you really like about different levels in the game, how they function and play, how are the combat encounters laid out, how is the exploration, how is the progression, how does it look and feel, etc.

>Doesn't help that doom builder feels a little overwhelming as well
Don't worry too much about that, you'll learn how it works soon enough. As far as First Person Shooter level making software, the Doombuilder family is very intuitive and straightforward.

Here's a few tips.
>Boom format I think is a good middleground, offers a few practical features missing from Vanilla, but without getting as complex and overwhelming as UDMF.

>You can alter grid size for when you want to make finer detail or adjust something carefully.

>You MUST test the maps in ports relevant to their format; if you're doing Limit Removing, you need to test it in something like Crispy Doom or PrBoom+, if you're making a Boom format map, you MUST test it in something like PrBoom+ or DSDA. I map in Boom format, and I do test in GzDoom, but I also test in PrBoom+ to make sure that everything works and looks like it should, this is because GzDoom lets you get away with a bunch of flaws which otherwise breaks the maps in other ports.

>The maps should be beatable without having to use saves, and without having to search for secrets. Implementing different difficulty levels is good, but not critical. Personally I prefer to mostly make the combat as challenging as I can handle without mid-level saves, and then I scale back monster encounters and scale up resources for lower difficulties.

>Ideally you should credit where you get any custom assets from, sprites, textures, music, etc, doesn't have to be absolutely meticulate, but if you got a .midi from say DBP21.wad, then mention that in the credits so that there's at least a trail to follow.

I just started going through Scourge of Armagon. Immediately, it feels better than vanilla quake. Filling it with soldier enemies is much nicer than fiends. I don't care for that new grenade launcher, but the laser gun is cool.
Lost Mines is probably the first level with a real sense of scale to it - movement there is a bit janky because of how sloped everything is, but that isn't a big problem. Having the lift at the end of the mine is good design too.

So I want to play some fucking Quake, but I know jack shit about the ports. Where do I start?

>>7940509
Purpose?

>>7940757
Man, if only there were some sort of video, conveniently linked in the OP, titled something relevant, like "so you want to play some fucking quake." That sure would be useful, wouldn't it?

>>7940754
Quake minus the supernatural aspect equals shit

>>7940772
Yeah... Too bad there's nothing of that kind around here.

>>7940754
>Filling it with soldier enemies is much nicer than fiends.

>>7940426
>military propaganda franchise
>realism

>>7940739
This guy looks familiar, I think I have him as a Quake 2 skin. What is this?

>>7940773
This.

>>7940754
Sounds like Quake 2 would probably be better for you.

How the fuck does Slade's Remove Unused Texture feature work?

>>7940383
>that webm where you turn into picrel with berserk
You know what? I think I'll try out HD.

>>7940773
>>7940836
I don't dislike the supernatural aspects at all - the atmosphere is one thing Quake absolutely nails.
A lot of the enemies feel bullet spongy though. You expend more effort/ammo on an individual enemy vs a bunch of soldiers and scorpions.

>>7940838
Goddammit Slade why are you retarded, why do you want to remove Switch textures and animated textures just because they're not directly placed in the maps? Why can't you fucking look at the ANIMATED lumps you stupid piece of shit?

>>7940847
>nooooooo I can't have to actually fight things, Ii want to faceroll everything with the SSG

>>7940754
SoA had Richard Gray as a level designer IIRC, the techbase maps blow stock Quake's out of the water

>>7940754
I like the laser because it actually gives you a use for the cells you constantly get from enforcers.

>>7940840
zerk is a hell of a drug

>>7940857
>berserk lets you zip up walls like a monkey
I learn something new every time

>>7940840
I made a spray of a pounced hunter scaled to in-game size.
So I'd put it around a corner, people would shoot at it and I'd ounce them. Lotta fun.
I did the same thing in day of defeat with a crouched sniper spray.

>>7940773
>doesn't like Alkaline or Rubicon Rumble Pack
Heretic.

Ok, fuck it, whatever Slade does in trying to remove unused textures and patches ends up wrecking the texture lumps entirely, this feature is completely worthless, I don't know why it wouldn't fucking look at the ANIMATED lumps, that's such an obvious thing to miss.

If someone else wants to have a go at trimming out excess textures and flats, without breaking anything, they can do that, but I think I'll just go ahead and publish these here now as the final build, even if they're a little bit bloated, then we'll take a look at submitting some of these to iDGames.

>>7940851
Yes

>>7940891
This post is so low quality it hurts.

>>7940895
agree
should have posted a kinofabino pic instead

>>7940857
Poor Kegan, in the wrong place at the wrong time again.

>>7940831
One of the previous works of that one crazy Estonian who did the remake of FinalDoom in Quake2 (the one with BFG turrets in Spider Masterminds bossfight level)

>>7940847
what's wrong with supernatural?
wouldn't that make your enemies stronger, thus making it more satisfying that you can kill them?

>>7940176
Alright, ladydykes and gentlefaggots (and everyone else inbetween), this should be the complete and final versions of Hard Fast Faggot Maps!
>cool new sprites which all have perfect offsets
>bunch of new sound effects
>levels tested and fixed for bugs
>difficulty levels implemented

https://files.catbox.moe/2cvptp.zip
>HFFM V1.5 Uncut
The Right Version
Says faggot, has all the new monster sprites and sounds, has the Love Saw, has the dildo in the Caco's butt. iDGames will not accept this upload, this is for the trve fans.

https://files.catbox.moe/1lzt8l.zip
>HFFM V1.5 Cut
The version which protects the feelings of sissies, and the advertisers of Google and Twitch. Doesn't say faggot, has just a normal Caco, and has a normal chainsaw in place of the Love Saw.

https://files.catbox.moe/io4k6i.zip
>HFFM V1.5 Stripped
The completely stripped down version, this one has none of the new monster or item sprites, and near none of the new sounds. This exists for 1, better compatibility with some gameplay mods, and 2, fucking boring people.

https://files.catbox.moe/ffr0gd.zip
>Hard Fast Party Pack!
This is the standalone (gay).wad with all the monster and item sprites, and all the new sound effects. If you want to make other levelsets just a little bit more manly, or maybe make mods like Hideous Destructor what they always ought to have been, then this is for you.
Uses the paletted Love Saw by default, but does include the truecolor .png Love Saw sprites to show it off in all of its glory.

Enjoy, have fun, and be proud of who you are!

Aww, the Mars symbols didn't come through in the post :(

Thank you for the advice. I'm gonna sit down later today and really crank something out. If I feel it isn't absolute toddler tier trash I may post a tester with what I'm sure will be a few questions. Thanks again for typing that out. Solid advice

Is this legit?

Man, its interesting looking at 90's megawads, and finding that a few of them wouldn't give the player a single rocket launcher or plasma rifle until somewhere like map07, and they generally promoted shotgun only gameplay for the most part.
Where as modern wads often have rocket launchers and plasma rifles appearing pretty early on, and often even have fights where using a non-shotgun weapon is more viable.

poor rattie :(

>>7940970

I swear that Ive already seen this crappy texurework ages ago, but that Knight monster is something new to me - whats this mod / mapset called?

>>7940923
Cool. Soose I'll get around to playing it.

>>7940448
ok retard

>>7941020
ok newfag

I tried getting into vanilla Quake but none of it is clicking for me like Doom does. Movement and weapons feel off (why does the SSG feel so wimpy?).

But I want to play Arcane Dimensions because it looks amazing. Should I just play through vanilla and get the feel for the game and then jump to Arcane? Or just dive in with Arcane?

>>7941082
>(why does the SSG feel so wimpy?)
Because the Doom SSG is stupidly overpowered and you've been warped by it.

>>7941082
It's not the SUPER shotgun, it's only the DOUBLE shotgun, kapische?

>>7941082
Another one filtered

>>7940746
GZDoom fucks up voodoo scripts if the trigger is close to the wall at the end of the conveyor belt, while prboom works correctly - you should ideally test in all engines that are popular with people

>>7941082
Quake's shotgun is basically like a slightly better version of Doom's pistol, and Quakes double barrel is similar to Doom's regular shotgun.

>>7940532
Underrated post

>>7941082
Don't main the double shotgun because its not what doom's SSG is - use the grenade and rocket launchers and super nailgun as your main weapons - shotgun for lesser foes

>>7941127
I always give plenty of space for the doll to clear the linedef all the way, so that hasn't been a problem for me after the first time.

>>7940920
rangerchama, your reading reps...

>>7941082
>why does the SSG feel so wimpy?
same dps, half the downtime

>>7941136
Usually did too, until I didn't once and all people who played my HFFM map on gzdoom got stuck. Pretty irritating, but you gotta take it into account that different engines may fuck something up, and even if its not your fault you need to clean it up, and do it for free

>>7941146
I always make sure to test in GzDoom as well, because the port is popular.

>>7941082
the SSG in quake isnt the best weapon in the game 70% of the time,so it isnt going to be as strong

Look at those cool emerging daemon-wall textures that have never been implemmented - is there any way to make an 'one-time' only animation sequence in the Quake1 engine even?

>>7941201
Where can I find these?

>>7941201
Hm... Not easily if you want it to end at a different frame than you started. Animated textures switch between animation states (+012... and +abc...) when used. You could trigger a func_wall with the animation, wait for the amount of frames it lasts, and then trigger it again. Then it will revert to the original frame.

Maybe instead of triggering it again, you could killtarget it, revealing another wall with the desired end frame.

>>7941003
Allegedly its a remake (kind of - its more of a revamp honestly) of the infamous Juggernaut for Q2 addon - kind of interesting in places (thanks to Lazarus features & the KMQ2 engine mostly) but of all downloads for it that I ever found since 2012 for it each lacks a crapload of textures and few monster model skins (including the final boss) - also the same bug present in Doom remakes originates from here (no save possible in most maps)

Have the classic iD guys ever been seen together in recent years? Is Carmax still friends with Romero, Adrien and Peters? I see them all recollecting over recent years but I was just curious if they're still friends?

>>7941226
You mean doing a Doom64 thing where the walls blocking a junction pretend to move towards you when in reality its just a series of identical walls sections droping in a row - each one a bit further in your face - all in an incredibly quick and barely noticable manner?

>>7940523
>uh, hope I didn't break anything by building new nodes then
You did, a lot. Why exactly did you need to change my map now? If you tell me what was wrong I'll upload a proper fix.

>>7941261
Petersen still talks very highly of all the id guys except for one who can't be named.

So what's the real date of this port?
https://www.mobygames.com/game/3do/doom
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/3DO
https://tcrf.net/Doom_(3DO)

I dont care if Doom has spoiled me, it feels like garbage.

Also again, should I just go for Arcane Dimensions?

>>7941284
Tim Willits appears to be quite the shrub, but what did he really achieve by fucking over Sandy and Adrien?

>>7941291
No. Just stop playing.

>>7941291
No, Niggur. Quake has the best level design out of of the 90's Id games.

Quake had great levels, but that's like saying a ruler has the best numbers in the alphabet.

attention doomfags
you have just been drafted
the next map/mapset/wad/megawad/whatever you play you must do the following:
If you are a vanillafag/purist, pick a gameplay mod to use
If you are a modfag, play purist (no mouselook, no jump, default HUD, etc)

>>7941304
Thats like winning the retard olympics. Doom E1 was their peak in level design.

>>7941308
he's right tho

He showed the purpose. To have multiple textures occupying the same space, and to have a single line trigger multiple things at once.

>>7941362
The only true superiority base Doom has over Quake is the Chain/Plasma rifle over the Nailguns. The Nailguns are cool, but they don't have the same level of utility and pros/cons that the automatic weapons of Doom have.

Tom Hall and John Romero always got along, they probably meet regularly. American McGee runs a studio in China, Adrian Carmack runs a hotel in Ireland, and Shawn, I have no fucking idea where Shawn Green is, I have this vague suggestion in the back of my head that he went to Himalaya or something to be a monk, which sounds surreal, and I have absolutely nothing to back that up, just vague associations in the back of my mind.

Kevin Cloud still works at iD, as does Donna Jackson, presumably doing what they always did, Tim Willits 'resigned' for bungling Quake Champions and works somewhere else now, to somewhere else's great horror, and Bobby Prince is a chicken farmer, recovered from stomach cancer a couple years back. John Carmack is still in Texas and still works with VR and computer science stuff. Dave Taylor I think went to work for Microsoft at some point (he was only ever hired temporarily). John Andersen made one official level for Ultimate Doom, then worked on stuff like Doom Builder, not being heard from again for MANY years, then died a couple years back (someone once suggested he was hiding from the feds for some reason, no idea where they get that from).

Paul Steed died, officially from a heart attack, while someone else suggested it a suicide, possibly murder (sounds fanciful, but never underestimate how absurd reality is). Big shame. Todd Hollenshead I think is still actually around, either at iD or at a company which they work with commonly. Jaw Wilbur works at Epic Games these days, draw your own conclusions about him from that, and Mike Wilson is at Devolver these days.

And then Sandy Petersen, he went on to work on a bunch of other videogames after iD, and in recent years have gone back to boardgames and pen & paper games.

>>7941371
On UV it at least gives some degree of challenge because of the spectres. Also the sheer spectacle of arena changing is great.

Chthon is just running around a box a few times. Boring.

Looks buggy

>>7941282
Well fuck. I don't even recall what it was that I did (maybe difficulty levels?), I guess I better put the old version back.

>>7941380
His projectiles track you. And even with that simplification, its still more of a complex boss fight.

crazy shit, I wish they'd do some sort of reunion and plan out a 9-lelve DOOM episode like Romero's Sigil just for the hell of it, I know Romero and Peterson would be down.

I want to make more maps for my wad, but all my ideas inevitably lead to a building with internal courtyard. What do I do?

Is it possible in GZD to make images appear like a palette flash or text?
So if instead of simply printing "YOU ROCK" I want to have a picture with something; or have a ghostly face appear and disappear for a moment when picking up an item.

>>7940937
The Unreal v200 source has been floating around for a while now, I guess this absolute madman cleaned it up a bit and made it build with VS2019.
Looks like all the proprietary shit like Galaxy Audio and the SGI GL renderer was taken out as well.

Which way should I go about making new/custom monsters using a ZDoom based port?
I see a lot of different options, like ACS scripting, DECORATE, lots of other things, and idk what the best/"proper" method is.
In the past, people have told me to discard ACS scripting for anything other than super basic level stuff.

Are there any good guides on making custom content in ZDoom?

>>7941484
Because it depends on what you want to do, there is not "proper" method. If you want backwards compatibility, use Decorate/ACS; if you want to make it Zandronum compatbile, you have to use some rather old version, which is quite a big understaking in and by itself.
If you want to make crazy shit, you would probably bite the bullet and try ZScript, as Decorate/ACS in combination can do some crazy shit too, but for the price of an immensely blown up code.
If you just want to make e.g. a Zombieman that shoots fireballs or have a pistol that shoots rockets, you can safely stick to Decorate; as it's enough for that and it being deprecated doesn't mean it won't work anymore, just that it won't get new features.

One of Romero's level design rules is to make the start of the map visually impressive. Here is my attempt to make a cool-looking center of a map. Any texture suggestions?

>>7941495

>>7941554
Brick is probably fine. considering your star seems to align perfectly with window, you may change the lower texture everywhere to something else.

Rarely was that an issue in Doom.

It pisses me off how badly gzdoom handles keybindings for custom actions, just why does it do it that way? Why not add hideus.roll.key to the settings, or to a per-mod separate config file with all of its custom settings?
Same thing with saves, swooshing them all together instead of making new folders for each load order. It just ends up being sucky as soon as a mod tries to change things past a certain point and prevents mods from being truly extensive because everything's handled in such ugly ways.

with gzdoom, how do i make it so when i die instead of taking me to my last autosave, it makes me pistol start the level?

>>7942116
Make a bind for "map *" and press that when you die instead of use

>>7942119
thx senpai

>>7942042
Then you'll be pleased to know that I calculated the angles of the stairs so that the angles are exactly perpendicular to the walls, and 64 units wide, hopefully wide enough for an imp to use them (if he needs to). The original stairs looked janky because they were just aligned to the map grid like normal people do

>>7942116
You turn off autosaves

>>7942137
Even if you do that, if you make a save at any point, gzdoom will always autoload instead of pistol starting, even if it was five maps ago. It's fucked.

>>7942063

This is the kind of dark number crunching that if you pull it off perfectly winds up rending open some nth dimension shit - I'm sure the tlc will be noticeable more in the /feel/ when you run around rather than actually understanding that all your surroundings are perfect.

>>7942146
Not too bad - so far the only two I've encountered are the green demon and the Annihilator - The previous map had something like 3 or 4 of them spawn, and I had to use imps as fodder to block most of their offensive - energy cells seem to be the way to go if you've got them to spare.

>>7942158
Annihilators are good for infighting because both of their attacks cause it, so rely on infighting for them most of the time.

Otherwise use rockets, not plasma. Some encounters are a game of peak a boo usually, dodge the rocket and shoot then hit cover (or if you're fast enough just peak and shoot then go back to cover.

What are some cool/fun weapons or weapon ideas? I'm trying to make my own retro FPS but all I've got are the bread and butter (melee, pistol, shotgun, full auto, rocket launcher) and I'm struggling to come up with anything cool.

>>7942272
The trick is to take those established tropes and put your own interesting spin on them, if you're gonna go off the beaten path you'll need to make sure it's relevant in your game, which means level and enemy design need to be taken into consideration there.

>>7942272
Doom at its core has always been built around denying or creating space. I wonder if a gun that creates space without killing would fit in with Doom.

Imagine a thundergun that pushes away low and mid tier enemies that uses cell ammo. That'd be interesting to build around as a map designer.

>>7942272
Flamethrower. Semi-Auto Rifle that's not a shotgun, a good sword.

>>7942250
I don't know why, but I got really obsessed with trying to get this level down. I don't think very highly of it in the context of most of the other maps, but the way you explore it made me replay it numerous times.

I must've 5 hours just on that map, partly because of practicing it and it being a genuine difficulty spike at points.

>multi-grenades now split from direct impact (was simpler than I thought, apologies for autism)

The multi-grenade is now much more effective, being able to instantly kill an ogre with a direct hit while flinging a couple extra bomblets towards nearby enemies. I'll let you guys play around with that and figure out whether it needs adjustment or if map balancing of ammo/enemy counts is sufficient. Now back to the start map for now...

Fun fact: Quakespasm turns off weapon model interpolation on the firing frame via the muzzle flash, so the laser rifle and rail should feel punchier now.

Since the different classes in Hexen have totally different weapons, its good to flag some items and monsters accordingly for balance. Like since the Mage starts with the ranged wand, add some Afrits that appear only for him. And because the Cleric's flechette is so much better than the other two classes, consider subtracting some for him.

Heretic and Hexen have visual language for different types of teleporters. In Hexen, the red portals are for inter-level travel, the red floor pads are for intra-level travel, and the blue floor pads are just teleport destinations. And in Heretic, red sparkles are for intra-level travel, and blue for ending the level.

After learning the basics of editing, you should learn ACS scripting for Hexen. Its how the game accomplished effects like breakable glass, earthquakes, projectile traps, ,puzzles etc. etc. ZDoom Wiki is very helpful.

For both games, dont forget to add inventory items and balance for them. Some people tend to forget about their existence, but they can add a lot of depth to the gameplay.

Is there any lazy way to limit how many enemies another enemy can spawn? I know the Pain Elemental has a hardcoded limit.

Kek, I actually made a weapon like that.
It was part of a joke weapon pack; it was a leaf blower based on the chainsaw. It pushes away enemies AND their projectiles, so while you're not able to kill the Cyberdemon with it, it will also not be able to kill you.
The downside is that the push effect can still push lighter enemies into walls and kill them.

3D renditions of Doom enemies always looked silly to me.
Also nothing against people spending a lot of time on HD textures, even if it feels a bit fruitless(I contributed to the DN3D HD pack over the years and by the time it was halfway finished I already felt it needed an overhaul. Not to mention the differences in style due to the many contributors).
What has really grown on me is however is adding things like low res normal/specularity/emissive/displacement maps to existing textures.

Massive 0.8.0 update to Psydoom
https://github.com/BodbDearg/PsyDoom/releases

>>7942946
Right, Let me clarify some things about this trick. It is vanilla/boom compatible. You have to use the ZDBSP (0 reject) nodebuilder. It is buggy during construction but once it's there the user shouldn't notice anything. You shouldn't overlap midtextures like in the demo since different ports tend to render it differently. You can overlap triggers like this as long as they don't touch any sector edges. There are some exceptions to all these guidelines.
Here's an example of how to make a basic multiline with ultimate/gzdoom builder. make sure the lines are all of the same sector by joining them with ctrl+j. Then just ctrl+x the vertices. You can download the demo wad here:
https://files.catbox.moe/xaf1r3.wad

It's Vanilla compatible, but you should try running it with a few ports to see the rendering differences.

Any other tacticool mods out there that aren't HD?

>>7943051
And here's 8 dynamic light levels applied to the same wall. Fully vanilla compatible.

>>7943057
God... imagine dbp project now with those techniques!

Sure it's gonna be fucked in gzdoom, but this is quite an amazing feature.

>>7943083
>Sure it's gonna be fucked in gzdoom
Good.

>>7942272
A shotgun with a fixed horizontal spread. It's secondary turns it sideways for fixed vertical spread.

>>7943083
>>7943086
Only the directly overlapping midtextures get fucked by hardware renderers. Everything else works in gzdoom/glboom.

>>7943095
what if there are 2 Midtextures overlap to each other? will the prior stay or the latter override it?

Has anyone ported Quake 2 64 to PC like Duke 64 was, Quake 2 on the 64 was an original game with unique levels and it's level design is more in line with Quake, it's quite interesting to be honest but it's held back by the N64's lack of power.

>>7943120
It can literally change every time you run the map. Check the demo wad!

What do you think about a steam version of doom/doom 2? I just found out they released an update last year.

>>7943142
Why pay for an open-source game?

>>7943142
It's the same as the console version, so it's fine I guess. Not worth paying for unless you absolutely need a vanilla engine with splitscreen.

>>7943142
split screen is good,but other than that,its just worse than other options on PC,on console,its by far the best version available without jailbreaks,but its pretty lacking by source port standards

Are there any retro FPS that have decent puzzles that are more interesting than Duke 3D's "flip these switches until you hear the beep"?

>>7943132
that honestly sounds like a nice feature for people who plays in gzdoom with the hardware renderer, seeing that it can randomize, you can make decoration change everytime you play the map.

>>7943178
Well there's Hexen's "Flip those switches and there isn't even a beep".

>>7943090

>on console,its by far the best version available without jailbreaks
I'd argue that it's still the best even with a hacked console. The only other options on the Switch are Chocolate and a really bad port of GZDoom.

>>7943205
It might as well be since Timmy Wallets got exposed as a shitty knockoff of Randy Dickford (something that until recently I never had thought of being remotely possible)

>>7943142
It's a good port, but you can get all the same benefits by just getting the .wads for free and playing them with the Crispy Doom sourceport.

They're the same as the new console ports, except if all you have to play on is a console, then it's a good way to play.

>>7943178
System Shock.

>>7943142
It's alright, but I'd just use dsda-doom to play the wads you rip from it for splitscreen functionality. I find mouse and joystick controls lacking in the most recent port. Lagging behind the 360 and ps3 controls or even Doom 64's recent port. People refute that they feel normal for joysticks, but they're wrong. The joystick to acceleration ratio is all fucked up.

Zoomer here, why is there such huge spike in difficulty from ultra-violence to nightmare? I'm skating through maps on uv while nightmare had me sweating like a pig.

>>7943294
Duality of Id - perfectly balanced those two output the best game of all time - Doom
However, when one conquers the other you get shit - either Daikatana or Doom 3 (no offense, two good games, but they dont measure up to OG Doom)

>>7943306
fast monsters/projectiles
monster respawning

>>7943306
Nightmare is a meme difficulty. Why even bother?

>>7942565
i dunno, you fags always come up with shitty ideas and projects leads are bunch of faggots that always end up vanishing from the project for whatever reason.

>>7943306
Nightmare! difficulty was added in an update, as a joking response to people complaining that the game wasn't hard enough on Ultra-Violence.
Monsters respawn every 30 seconds on Nightmare!, an it also has even faster Fast Monsters. It does give you double ammo from pickups though.

What is this gun in Duke Nukem Attrition? It's not one of the ones you can choose at the start of the run, either.

>>7942946
iirc the one thing you can't do is use a teleport linedef this way or it starts becoming inconsistent

>>7943123
There's Mission 64.

>>7943020
All they are missing is either a visible knockback from being struck by your Axe that also has a chance to interrupt their attack frames or just maybe a secondary attack of sorts that makes them stationary for a while (like spinning and flailing their tentacles around);
If someones willing to expand on their concept - it feels to me like they were planned to be a sort of 'Blood ChokingHand/Duke3D face-hugger' kind of enemy for Quake - dunno if using the ax to get them off your head seem like too much effort to make it work properly but nonetheles on paper it sounds incredibly awesome T B H

>>7943384
>Duke Nukem WoA
long time no see
btw what's the latest version of that mod? 2.0?

>>7942272
There is a Doom mod that was a flamethrower strapped to a shotgun, that was fun to use.
Also a strong revolver, these kind of games rarely have a revolver

>Monsters respawn every 30 seconds on Nightmare!
Actually I'm pretty sure monsters respawn at random, with a minimum of 12 seconds since they died before they have a chance of respawning.

>>7943387
I guess so.
Then again, you can make a random teleporter this way - either WR linedefs for some chaos or you could make a main room with three W1 teleporters that transport you to three different sections you need to pass - effectively all players would play the same set of rooms, just in a shuffled order each time

>>7940439
alright anon, I'm back.
I've added the cvars, and it also now respects r_lightmap and r_fullbright: https://www.mediafire.com/file/eb6uk0oad1dhloi/

there was still one last problem map (xj19_chedap from Xmas'19 would crash when firing near the water), but it seems like with the new cvar checks it's fixed.
another curious thing: using the regular texture coordinates and dividing them by 128 would apparently fix an issue with noncontiguous textures (sourceforge.net/p/quakespasm/bugs/48). that's kinda neat, I've left it in.

you never posted the 120% sources, right? I kinda want to integrate those as well. also, that wasn't you asking how to fork in the last thread, was it?

>>7943407
Feel free to disregard my blogpost - I was salty that the NightGaunts still lack their promised 'pickup the Player and drop him off letal heights' due to apparently being too flamewar-inducing or something (Rhynch feeling obviously incomplete must have trigger me into sperging out)

>>7943306
There is a half-step, Fast Monsters UV. Just run UV with fast monsters parameters, the monsters will be harder but won't respawn.

>>7943178
Deus Ex has interesting puzzles baked into level design. Just remember to NOT pick Computers skill, because Computers let you bypass most of them. Without Computers, you often have to figure out complex puzzles to proceed (first visit to Versalife, for example). Some other puzzles might be bypassed by using Electronics or Lockpicks, so don't over invest in them either.

Similarly, aug Microfibral Muscles will increase your capacity for puzzle solving by giving you access to hidden passages and secrets.

I like gaunts as snipers and rhynch as "stay the fuck away" enemy.
but in any case it's not really worth it trying to add animaitons to rhynch specifically, tentacles would be a pain in the ass.

>>7942272
This big bad sluggy boi - allegedly designed to supress any unruly gulag prisoners with its (un)suprizingly lethal 23mm rubber rounds

I just finished the remaining maps in Scourge of Armagon. All in all, it was much better designed than Quake. Both aeshetically, and from a gameplay perspective.
My favourites were near the end of episode 3 - Limbo and The Gauntlet. Both pretty straightforward corridor shooting with some arenas thrown in. No backtracking and wandering around hunting for switches.

Is hard difficulty worth bothering in Half-Life and it's addons/mods?

>>7943603
where did that z in surprisingly come from

>>7943557
>I was salty that the NightGaunts still lack their promised 'pickup the Player and drop him off letal heights'
are these monsters based on Lovecraft's fiction? I remember there being a monster like that(possibly called gaunts, but I read those in polish) - looking kinda like a giant bat and being able to pick you up and fly

>>7942272
Some kind of railgun
Plasma rifle style thing with homing balls
Something that ricochets off of walls (or look at the revolver in ultrakill, where shooting the coin you toss homes in on targets)
The translocator from unreal tournament (for a more modern example: boomerang X)
A gun that pulls enemies towards you
A gun that shoots gravity balls that suck enemies towards them
A gun that shoots launch pads that throw enemies (or you) into the air

>>7942272
I like guns with unusual firing patterns. Some ideas:
>penetrating projectiles that fire projectiles in an arcing trajectory that deviates at random angle and always intersect with what you are pointing at, and penetrates monsters.
>BFG that marks monsters that are in your sight while you hold trigger, and distributes damage between them.

>>7943621
What makes me ask this is the fact that hard in HL doesn't change enemy composition like Doom/Quake but rather just increases their health. Sounds cheap and unfun. Is it not that bad in practice?

>>7943635
Yeah, nightgaunts are pretty directly ripped from Lovecraft. They're most relevant in "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath." They are described as black and rubbery with no facial features, prehensile paws, and they tickle you into submission. They serve Ghouls as steeds by picking them up and flying them around, and defend the carving of the face of the gods on Mount Ngranek by picking up climbers and either dropping them or carrying them away to the Vale of Pnath, where they will be devoured by bholes.

>>7943657
Nah some shit about enemies change, the only one I remember is ninjas actually use cloaking on hard

HOLY BASED

>>7943660
damn, that's sick, I thing Droles and Gugs are also ripped from him, gugs are definately in Dream Quest of Kadath
Out of all his stories I guess Kadath is the most chill one and fantasy, kinda like a vacation from his cosmic horror stories, while still having that weird mythos feel

>>7943679

can anyone stop him?

Punishment for doomworld fags for interfering with HFFM - they fucked with us and now they caught our STD(or cancer, either one suits alf)

>>7943687
I'm a Lovecraft autist, so I can ramble about these things for hours. Yeah, Gugs are also in Kadath. They live underground, having been banished from the sight of the gods for some unnamed sin long ago. I love that little bit of their story.

>>7943603
Soviet garbage

on the off chance that Chasm mappers are lurking, my run of Cursed Land: https://mega.nz/file/UepGBA4D#MMN7kGPH2lg-YH8w1WRUmFoOl-fNvFoYVLzyl3sVjnk
I first started on hard, but changed my mind after the jesters sliced me up in seconds with almost undodgeable sawblades. normal difficulty seems too easy for the most part though, so idk.
framerate was a bit choppy, but playable (dosbox 480p)

>>7943750
Love the textures on both maps and enemies

>>7940294
mfw no big titty pfhor gf

>>7943057
it looks cool in vanilla I guess but in boom format is kinda pointless.. you have the animated lump for that.

>>7940370
the only good wolfenstein mod i can think of at the top of my head is Wolf3D Demolition

is there a reason why this one energy door doesn't up in turok 2?
from someone else's footage, they shot down a force field but i swear it didn't do anything here

After beating Ion Fury twice now, I am asking if there's any good Ion Fury custom maps / content ?

I'm not expecting a ton of stuff to be there because the fanbase is probably intimidated by the Voidpoint level design.

Alf strikes again: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/123205-half-life-was-never-good/

>>7943816
Short answer: no
Long answer: the official expansion is on its way

>>7943816
Theres a handful of cool maps out there.

https://gamebanana.com/games/7473

>>7943836
Those are amateurish

>>7943805
good thing i knew about the console menu, cause i had to noclip

>>7942272
Think about the ROLES you want your shooter to have. The thematic of your shooter doesn't matter, you need to think about what roles your game's weapons will fulfill.

From your lineup I'd recommend having some kind of landmines / deployable turret and some superdestructive weapon be it flamethrower, cannon, grenade launcher or some kind of a plasma / beam weapon. Think about the games you've played and enjoyed, surely something should come into mind.

>mfw pull request for QSS to add filtering/interpolation toggles to the video options menu hasn't been merged in 2 weeks

Any Doom Mods/games with a class system or progression system for guns and shit besides Hexen? I'm really in the mood for some RPG elements or some shit.

>>7943052
Please respond

>>7943932
Wrath of Cronos with the Doom compatibility patch would be right up your alley. You could also look into DRLA and LegenDoom

>>7943937
Wrath of Cronos and DRLA look great, thanks anon!

>>7943750
Chasm has some pretty nice texture work to it.

>>7943723
Nah, those things work great, if it's one thing they never cut corners with it was guns.

>>7943805
>>7943872
i also had the level 6 keys but the game acted like i didn't had at least one, so i noclipped there too

>>7943723
>made from scrapped autocannon barrels
>is a rifled shotgun because of this
>23mm Brenneke slug can punch a hole thru anything at average shotty range
Crude as dry buttfucking, but it works tho
>>7943632
I blame it on autocorrect being retarded and saving the incorrect spelling

>>7942272
Have you ever seen a dream where you're playing some game that doesn't exist or otherwise used some bizarre dream weapon? Those are good ones if you can remember.

>>7942272
a Tentabarrel shotgun model similar to Serious sam 2, but when you altfire it loads and charges 1 barrel at a time, when it charges 10 barrels the resulting fire can clear massive hordes in a single blast, but it charges slowly about 10 seconds

>>7943660
>>7943635
>>7943594
I took a good look of them in VR testing room and just now realized their head structure is obviously supposed to reference the shape of BioRaptors from the 1st Riddick film series installment "Pitch Black" - they even make the same noises...
(BTW whats the screengrab key/command in QuakeSpasm?)

>>7944015
>whats the screengrab key/command in QuakeSpasm?
F12

>>7943052
I don't think there's anything else out there that's sim-like, so I'll give you gun wank instead.
Immoral Conduct, Call of DOOM, Juvenile Power Fantasy, Trailblazer, Operation Body Count TC, and that one mod that has CoD-style rank ups.
There are mods for Hideous Distractor as well but I'm not familiar with them.

>>7942568
So is this why we don't see very many Hexen maps?
It's just out and out more complicated than Doom?

>>7943841
It's all there is though. Build mapping isn't popular.

Noir is a fantastic concept.

>>7943978
Not him, but yeah i remember those. Sometimes the imaginary games have felt so fun and good in dream, that i've felt very disappointed after waking up.

>>7944025
Vangers is the last game I would expect to see in this thread

Can someone help a brainlet understand how to find the moonlit sky from Preacher map06? I can't even find a patch or texture with a moon in it, save the titlepic :(

>>7943540
Interesting. Is this division something GLQuake did? Is it related to the new waterer method used by QS?
And what exactly caused the map to crash?

Anyway, I did not post anything about a fork.

>>7944167
Open the map and check if it's a sky texture at all?

>>7944182
nvm just looked myself. According to MAPINFO it's sky1.

>>7944192

Oh, and the texture you're looking for is "MYSKY7"

>>7944214
It's a sloppy mix. FUCK, I JUST REALIZED WE DON'T HAVE AN ENDOOM

>>7944224
Does that mean it's 1.7 time?
Do you want me to replace the remaining item sprites while i'm still here, too? Because I could.
