TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED, BUT IT'S STILL SATURDAY, AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU STILL HAVE STUFF YOU CAN SHARE.
THAT ONE ANON WHO GAVE ME SHIT ABOUT POSTING THIS AT THE END OF THE PREVIOUS THREAD HAD BETTER POST SOME PROGRESS. OR I'M COMING FOR HIM.

I finished the first episode, on well done. I'll be turning down the difficulty next time.
It left a good first impression on me though - Blood has nailed the atmosphere so far. The difficulty has been annoying in a good way. And somehow it seemed to get easier as I neared the end of the episode.
Unlike Duke and Shadow Warrior, the levels haven't been maze like. They're pretty straightfoward, but with excellent attention to detail.
So far this is my favourite build engine game, but I haven't played Ion Fury yet (or Redneck Rampage).

Anon, I like you.

>>7976817
>a personal fork of DSDA doom with some extra customization, along with a pistol start option
Well this is pretty fucking cool.
Good name for the project too.

going up lads

>>7976821
I got laughed at in the DSDA discord for requesting a pistol start option

>>7976882
Fuck them. Having it as an option is nice. If you're the dev behind this port, then bless you for adding it.

>>7976882
I don't see why you wouldn't have it as a feature. I always thought it'd make a lot of sense as a toggle you set on the difficulty level menu, because sometimes I wanna pistol start, and sometimes I wanna play continuous, and maybe I wanna decide on the spur of the moment.

>>7976876
Now I'll just have to apply the last fix for Full Thrust and then we can update it, and upload the Stripped version as well.

>>7976802
Adding a shotgun to a mm8bdm mod that barely has anything to do with Megaman.

>>>/wsg/4046839

>>7976953
>>7976959
You might want to consider making the clattering of the shells a little quieter, it's an audio overload when you fire that thing, and I think it's overpowering the firing of the shotgun itself. I like the reload though.

>>7976974
Will do

>>7976897
My ultimate goal is to bring in the best features the community and official releases have brought to the table under one roof. My next goal is adding left trigger turn speed option for controllers much like the 360 (and I assume ps3) ports. It was an underrated feature that allow you to get essentially two different levels of turn speed at the pull of a trigger.

>>7976802
still this, only there's a credits one too.
No intermission ones yet, but they'll probably be the same thing or similar. Maybe just darker.

Gotta love how Unreal's lighting can bring the performance down even on a modern PC.

>>7977029
How much lighting is the question, overall.

>>7976993
Add the option from the 360 port to double up weapon inputs, so you can have everything accessible from just the d-pad.
Shotguns on the same button
Chaingun alone
Plasma and BFG together
Rockets, pistol, and melee grouped

>>7977059
Thanks for the suggestion. Controller support is often brushed off on the pc source ports unfortunately.

>>7977059
Oh, dude, yes! That was one of the really smart additions in the Gen 7 ports.

>>7977070
Yeah, it's a shame because Doom actually plays pretty well with a controller. Particularly well with controller and mouse.

I'll work on sounds later, but I'm happy with how this worked out.

>>7977070
I like having the option to play on controller, but it's only really been viable on the past 2 generations of consoles. And it's not even that great on the current port.

Okay boys so. I'm gonna get back into mapping, I made a few Doom and Quake levels before so I know what I'm doing with level editors, the part I don't understand is how you add custom content/resources.

Like, say, I wanna add my own music, use a different skybox, change the title screen, use sprites from Heretic/Hexen, that kinda stuff. What other tools do I need besides Doom Builder? How do I add that stuff to a custom wad? Any good guides around?

Thanks bros.

Any SNS gonna go on tonight?

>>7977104
It'll work pretty well on a lot of older controllers, using later systems to set them up properly.
>PS1
>PS2
>Genesis (six button)
>SNES
>Saturn
You just need enough buttons for a pretty decent setup, and if you have one or more decent analog sticks, you can have a great control setup.

>>7977112
>What other tools do I need besides Doom Builder?
Slade. Then just open any wad in it and it'll become clear.

>>7976993
Good news for the turn speed feature is that it's already in (360/ps3 ports were built off of prboom after all).
Bad news is everything else dealing with controller support is practically non-existent in the code I'm working with. Movement and turning isn't analog and rebinding controls for controller doesn't seem to work at all so this will definitely be a bit more work than I anticipated, but all the pieces are there.

>>7977161
Did they have analog movement?

>>7977168
I'm fairly certain the 360/ps3 ports did, but it has been a very long time. I've got an xbone and a copy of the xbla version from back in the day which is luckily backwards compatible that I plan to spend some more time with.

>>7976168
Looks like its trying to precache when a new gremlin is spawned. When creating a new gremlin, give it a flag before it runs its spawn function. In the gremlin spawn function, only precache if that flag is unset.

>>7977159

Wonderful, thank you kind Anon.

So am I right in thinking that, for example, to make an episode with new music and new title screen, I'd have a bunch of separate Map 1, 2, 3, 4 etc saved from Doom Builder, make sure the file names correspond with the right one you're replacing, and merge it all together into a single wad in Slade at the end.

That's how it's done right?

>>7977189
Yeah, that's exactly what it was doing. It works perfectly fine with that extra precache removed, but gives a compiler warning. Given where it is I'm not sure I can really 'flag' it, so as long as it works I think I'll just leave that warning for now.

>>7976802
I have an idea, it's stupid, but I need to try it. Though I should probably use twice the texture density, 32x32 texture is stretching it bit too much.

>>7977221
Dont remove the precache entirely. Unless its precached by some other function, QS will throw an error if the model is used. What I said is check and only run precache if the monster is spawned at the level start. By "flag", i mean just reuse some field or add a new one to indicate whether or not it was spawned mid-level.

Wish there existed a "Marathon the way Bungie did it" for Marathon. All the custom stuff for Marathon is about seeing how many polygons you can fit into a level rather than create something fun.

>>7977408
Like this. Just add a bit flag or boolean like that in the function that creates them mid-level.

>>7977408
>>7977413
It would be precached already by any Gremlin spawning on the map, right? Regardless, it turns out that every default monster model needs to be precached on map load for func_monster_spawner anyway, so that clears up the warning. Thanks though.

>>7976808
Ion Fury isn't anywhere near as good as Blood. Nothing really is, in terms of Build

>>7976808
The first episode is also one of the most difficult, so you should do just fine in the next two episodes

So I played Arcane Dimensions for Quake and I thought holy fuck, this shit is the best community content I have ever played for any game.

Shit honestly blew me away, it just had all the right vibes, it took me right back to my childhood and gave that strong, powerful nostalgia like playing a PCGamer demo disc back in the day, while still feeling totally fresh.

Is there an equivalent pack for Doom? I know there's a fuck load of quality stuff out there for Doom, but I mean... That's kind of the problem, with Doom you are so spoiled for choice it's hard to find the good from the bad. What's THE best community Doom wad, if you had to pick just one?

>>7977484
UAC Military Nightmare

>>7977484
Doom Rampage Edition

Idea: use the decino player sprites from borogk, the player sounds from decino.wad, and the behavior of the Scythe 2 Evil Marine to create an Easter egg custom monster

>>7977484
If by equivalent you mean “large community pack filled with huge levels and custom enemies” then not really. The closest you’ll get are the /vr/ projects and ZPack, and the quality varies greatly.

>>7977484
AD is really more of a greatest hits compilation than a community pack. I'd say Eviternity is similar in terms of general polish and variety.

Is there a vanilla-compatible ejecting bullet casings mod?

>>7975482
Heretic 2 and Shadowman look very interesting. Not really familiar with American McGee's Alice and even less so with F.A.K.K. 2.
Also, I'm pretty sure that these games are Action Adventures, not TPS... Besides Heavy Metal, maybe. I don't honestly know.

>Map 12: The Factory
>door one side can be opened with yellow key, the other side with red key
>there is no red key so you can't go back
Petersen explain

I kinda wish doom builder had a more sane way of setting up source port destinations. Having to individually set them up for for each different configuration is kinda annoying, especially if you don't want to stick to just one configuration for all mapping.
Would rather they let you set the source port destinations independently of configurations, and then just let you customize a blacklist for each configuration. Would be so much faster.

>>7977609
Possible that area was originally going to give you the red key during development, before the exit was put there.

For anyone who hasn't tried it yet I fully recommend giving DBP37 a run with FD's Vendettaguy. Pure kino.

You can choose sourceports in the testing dropdown, though.

>>7977758
That only shows the ones you've set for that particular configuration. My point is make it so it no longer has to be a per configuration thing.

>>7977484
Back on 2008, Ultimate Torment and Torture gave me same feelings as Arcane Dimensions did few years ago. Yea, it's a gzdoom wad, but back then it wasn't a that big sin as now. Maps were big and atmospheric, they actually gave a sense of place. I hadn't played Scythe 2 yet, so the gameplay felt most modern. There were lot of new monsters, and their artstyle really fitted Doom. On top of that, it had even few new weapons.

What's /vr/'s opinion on those 90s "less-official" Quake expansions such as Abyss Of Pandemonium, Aftershock, Dark Hour and Q!Zone? Worth playing?

>>>7976810
I know both this one and the shitty old 2d Quak(e)1 fangame from early 2000s (the one with a secret map playing SMB3 castle music), sadly theres no trace of its existance left on teh internetz that I could find AFAIK

>>7977784
-AoP is okay-ish with some nice features (downloaded it recently, might had even bought it along with the other official MP in the past without a broadband internet)
-Q!zone is meh but I really dig the bouncy Thunderbolt and the ShurikenGun (but not worth the asking price in any way)
-The rest is irredeemable shit tho, the only excuse for actually paying for those is living without a broadband web connection in N.Korea or the likes of...

>>7977784
All of those are varying degrees of shit. MALICE is the only actually good comercial addon.

>>7977597

>>7977475
That's a shame to hear.
My current rankings are Blood > Douk > Shadow Warrior. Where would you say it fits?

At the risk of getting RRRREEE'd at, has anyone ever exported this (or at least the assets to be applied to a normal copy of Wolf 3D) so you can play it outside of Wolfenstein II?

Like you i was blown away by AD when i played it a few years back. I recently played the new levels in 1.8, and now i'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for good ad_ mod levels not included in the official release?

>>7978090
Whatever (wo)man, youre inevitably gonna loose your ankle joints doing so eitherway...

News to me, but for users of prboom+ (and probably other sourceports) software mode doesn't exhibit tearing, so for a much much smoother experience, vsync can be turned off completely. This pretty much solves frame time issue completely.

>>7978193
>youre inevitably gonna loose your ankle joints
Get a load of this anklet

>>7977412
Marathon isn't fun in the first place so it makes sense

So I'm trying to use PRBoom+ to play through wads as intended with no GZDoom bullshit but the levels are dark as fuck. What gives?
Should I just use Crispy Doom instead?

>>7978204
The opengl lighting is pretty bad in prboom+, use the 8 bit software renderer.

So many secrets in that hotel level.

Nooooooo.
Makes me wonder how much of this is just conflating things like the company, or similar events, or just him being told the wrong thing or what.
In any case I like hearing his stories about Id.

>>7978204
>>7978205
If using OpenGL, try Sector Light Mode: Shaders. It mimics software mode's diminishing light. If still too dark, toggle gamma with F11. And like that anon said, if using software, use 8-bit, since the others aren't noticeably better and use more resources

>>7978227

>>7978229
Honestly, the only major difference I've ever noticed with 32-bit renderer compared to 8-bit is that it makes things under the fuzz effect harder to notice, which can actually make certain encounters involving spectres harder than they should be.

What's the easiest way to change this texture via Slade?

>>7978334
>The ASCII crosshair is clever.
That's legit how Quake always did its crosshair (with just one + character though)

>>7978307
Sector Light mode is under OpenGL options in page 4 or so

>>7978337
If you're working with MAPINFO, define "Borderflat" in the Gameinfo section.
In doom2.wad it's the GRNROCK flat.

>>7978334
That's always been a part of the CSQC HUD I made, but I guess the entire HUD is a "recent" addition to the mod
As for the ASCII crosshair I expect that to be more of a...placeholder than anything, looks quite crude and should be replaced with a more fitting .lmp crosshair IMO
>>7978338
Yep, just a standard +
If you ask me I think a . crosshair would've made more sense, but I digress

>>7978342
Nope, still don't see it. I get a software mode option but its just for multiple screens.

How do I give the SS more sprites when shooting in different directions?

>>7976796

>>7978390
Forgot pic

>>7978330
Despite being a cereal tie-in the devs did care enough to make Chex Quest 3 which was pretty good for fun.

Is there any real reason for me to use GZDoom over the regular old ZDoom, if I always play with software lighting and unfiltered textures etc?

I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't feel the same somehow. Feels like it doesn't run as smoothly as software ZDoom.

Or am I behind the times and ZDoom isn't the standard any more?

>>7978393
That's done in Slade. Doom Sprite Fix has the extra sprites already so look there for reference

>>7978393
The SS only having front-facing sprites for firing and pain isn't a Dehacked issue, the graphics just aren't in the files. Put rotations for SSWV frames E F G and H into a wad.

>>7978397
The last version of ZDoom is five years old and most mods that have been developed since then won't work on it.

>>7978391
Where do these images come from? Who finds them funny? It's a mystery.
It's like someone saw fabino's zoomer humor and decided to make something even worse.

>>7978397
Just play LZDoom then.

>>7978397
>Is there any real reason for me to use GZDoom over the regular old ZDoom
Non-graphical fixes and features, compatibility with mods?
IMO if you wanna play Doom in non-accelerated mode I'd recommend trying PRB/umapinfo or Retro, since at least then you're using a port that's under active development.

>>7978343
Also you might want to repaint the borders, it's made out of this tiny pieces of graphics.

Was just customizing HUD for a wad myself.

Episode 2 down. It was weaker than the first imo but still great.
This was the last boss? Was there some kind of sprite size limit in effect, because she's tiny.

>>7978391
I went to the bass pro shop in Memphis last year (7th largest pyramid in the world) and it was legit cool.

>>7978428
No the episode 3 and 4 bosses are big but the stone gargoyle and big spider do pop up a lot as mini bosses which is why I think they are smaller, also I hope you enjoy the sound of an air raid siren.

>>7978436
Is it worse than the sound of the gargoyles?

BuildGDX or Raze? Or maybe another source port?

>>7978385
Okay, I was being retarded. You get that option in glboom+.
I still can't fucking see shit in some levels though, so I think I'll just give up and play on gzdoom instead. Too many cheap deaths due to the darkness. If I wanted to play Doom 3 I'd load that up instead.

>>7977871
When I put out the update (should be later today), you can just get progs.dat and sort by date added in the progs/sound folder to get any new assets. Also that is indeed the issue with wetsuits and it has been fixed for the update.

>>7978295
Damn anon, that's pretty cool. I'm guessing that's through CSQC? I tried to do some autism with stuffcmds until I realised there was no way of combining strings with a '\n' at the end. Also, could you give me a hint as to which files you actually changed? Modified date on everything in the zip is '2019-12-31 23:00'.

I wanted to mix in a slap sound with it, I kind of like it, but it seems that a number of people didn't quite like some of the sounds I added.

So last thread I was asking about UMAPINFO and episodes, and it almost works, but when episode ends, it just shows "The End" on metal hexagon background so I guess it doesn't pick default texts. Do I need to copy entire texts into the lump now or is there a way to make them re-appear?

It comes so close to matching Doom 2's but why does it have a handle.

>>7978501
So one shoots rockets and one shoots machine gun?
Will they actually fly or will they just hover around? Because if you, you have made some really dangerous Cacodemons.
Also, will you get some kind of rocket launcher or RPG to bring them down quickly?

>he doesn't know

>>7978502

HeXen, Abandon/Quake, Knytt Underground and Undying, taken together, comprise a reference to an unpublished work, used as a goldmine for "pretties".
This work is called "Wolf Is Always Hungry", it is female-written Maxima (counterpart to male-written Novella), effect being Neverland.
This work begot Neverland-Child-Fantasy, which ended in pretty much Sylvie and Bruno and Night Land.
Recurring central image is a lone child, shaking, in fuck knows where, with a bird falling about drop dead.
So there is that.
Directly related to HeXen (as opposed to Heretic, Hexen 2 and Deathkings), Abandon for Quake and Clive Barker's Undying. Works with such artistic infusions are called Neverland-oids.
Nevermind.

>>7978512
This. Except for the Neostead shotgun, the tube on the bottom is the barrel, the two tubes on top is its magazines.

>>7978484
It might just be that I'm used to gzdoom being fairly bright, but at the same time I've been watching decino and he doesn't have this shit happening. Outside areas are fine, but anywhere that's meant to have low lighting is literally pitch black. Its a bit much.

>>7978535
Which wad? Try all the OpenGL Sector Light Modes out. I usually use Shaders but it can sometimes be too dark so I'll increase the gamma with F11 or try another light mode

I've released an update that fiddles with vsync a little bit. I've noticed that the software renderer does not tear at all when software exclusive fullscreen is disabled. With this knowledge I've changed the v-sync option to only enable itself when in opengl mode or when software exclusive fullscreen is enabled. I've found that framepacing is greatly improved with zero tearing in this configuration.

Since I have gotten over my cold (mostly), I have started properly working on stuff again.
I think I will have finished this one by the end of the week. I am rather satisfied with how the tanks have turned out, I think it will look really nice when the rings and handle are shaded, too. I just think the front could look better - these aren't just pipes after all, but rounded tanks, but I don't quite know how to properly convey that.
What I don't quite like yet is the muzzle - I just don't quite know what to do there. The stock of the gun is ok, I treated it the same way as the squirt pistol to keep some kind of visual consistency.

It's all good, I figured out how to get GZDoom feeling appropriately vanilla-ish in the end. Just had to fuck around with the scaling until I figured out how to make it true 4:3 and use software rendering/lighting.

Rendering interpolation is the option I was missing, makes everything weird and laggy. Not sure why you'd even want to turn it off, but whatever.

You need to go for vanilla only for that, and even then some vanilla tricks will break in GZDoom.

>>7978675
>should I flog myself for this idea?
No, in fact, you should give it a speed modifier of 2 and set its movetype override to swim so it doesn't fly out of the water and ruin the surprise.

A lot of less than desirable individuals rose to prominence in Quake modding around that time, to explain the pic.

I just found out why I'm so bad at Doom:
I can't react anymore.
I just finished Ancient Aliens map 5 and had to reload a few times because those chaingunners would just shred me until I even found out where they were. Especially that fuck expecting you when leaving the mega armor secret, the first time I came out there there was still a cacodemon up there and while I was shooting it I got my sides full of chaingun.
I'm just too slow to properly get out of such a situation.
And I'm only 33 years old.

Post your results pop, let's see what we're working with here.

>>7978675


Now, I hate tranny feminist SJW faggots as much as the next guy, but I don't think furries deserve to be grouped together with those assholes. Furries are a highly industrious community of weird freaky porn creators, and on the internet, that should command far more respect.

On topic hot-take: Super shotgun ruins the balance of Doom 2 and wads that either make you wait a long time for it or are balanced for pistol start are usually far more enjoyable because of it. No Rest For The Living was great for pistol start runs because they clearly understood this, and got a lot more mileage out of hell knights and pinkies etc.

>>7978718
I may be insane, but the choice of source port seems to be a factor, too.
I swear everything is a tiny bit more sluggish and slippery in PRBoom+ than in GZDoom.

>>7978748
>I swear everything is a tiny bit more sluggish and slippery in PRBoom+ than in GZDoom.
PrBoom+ had issues with mouse acceleation, but I think they are fixed now.

>SSG makes normal Shotty so redundant its not even funny outside of sniping the LostSouls...
Why making it just twice as strong from the normal SG wasnt enough for them - and how the gosh darned heck are 2 shells fired at once from 2 barrels somehow become 20~30% more powerfull than a single shell shot from one barrel even???

Finished the first helicopter, now how do I make it not bleed?

https://streamable.com/5l8w9u

>>7978839
There's two ways that I know of to make it not bleed. The easiest way to do that is to give it +noblood, the only downside there is non-bleeding actors have slightly different properties and attacks will react differently on them, so normal vanilla hitscans will puff on them as if you're shooting a wall. Projectiles will hit them and go to their crash state.
The other method is to give them some separate invisible blood if you're wanting to make sure attacks react the same way to any enemy you can damage.

So finally finished Dissolution of Eternity.
The Plasma Gun is the highlight of this mission pack. Hella fun to use and such a great upgrade for the Thunderbolt. It is definitely superior to the Laser Cannon from Scourge of Armagon.
As for the maps, Towers of Wrath was a fun one but can't say the same about the rest. Overall, the map design is inferior to the original Quake 1 and Scourge of Armagon. The new enemies are mostly boring. Also, that last boss fight was absolute ass (probably would've benefited from a better arena).

Here's hoping Dimensions of the Past will be better.

>>7978839
Give it a custom bloodtype. You could also give it another bloodcolor, like black, to make it look like leaking oil.

>>7978839
Oh I should have added, if you give them invisible blood or some other effect to "bleed" when they get shot, you'll need to add +noblooddecals to make sure they don't spatter the walls with red blood when you shoot them.

>>7978743
The super shothun feels like it ws made specifically to deal with most of the new monsters. Yes, casual continuous players use it like its the only weapon in the game, but most people don't pistol start and shells are fucking everywhere.

>>7978741
Used arealme instead.

>>7978839
Also, you will hopefully do something with rotor blades so they don't look like standing still, right?

>>7978839

Why is the UQE sourceport such an unwieldy piece of shit to setup mods for?

>>7977085
Doom plays amazing on mobile. Having the Y axis locked really helps.

>>7978958
Because that's the port family that's been developed to have advanced modding support. There was EDGE in the early days, but once ZDoom extended DECORATE to support custom weapons and monsters, there was no reason to stick to such a horrid port anymore.

Episode 3 down.
I liked it at the start, but it got extremely short very quickly. I unintentionally got through a couple of levels really quickly (the sewer level and the dam) just by using the jump boots to get to secrets, the following the path from there.
So I feel like I need to replay at least a couple of levels. And of course I missed the secret level again too.

So I was thinking of having the troopers act as snipers in my Middle East WAD, with a 50 damage tracer round that you could dodge.

>>7979124
>(mosly cause QSpasm is a goddamn slideshow too often)

Is this just on the main test map, or does it run like ass on the other test maps / vanilla maps? If it's just the main test map, then that's understandable because it's admittedly a clusterfuck that I haven't tried to optimize at all.

>>7979135
That's actually a pretty cool idea. Make the attack instadeath then.

>>7979160
Only the main testing map stutters cause its mostly a huge open area once you peek out the starting room - QS tends to have issues with open spaces like that...

I'm looking for large single level wads in the vein of Miasma and Entropy. Sprawling, nonlinear, beautiful, great combat.

i just beat plutonia for the first time and i enjoyed it. i didn't really like that the last few levels was basically me bfg'ing my way through it.
I guess most wads are like that but i felt it was encouraging me to do this cause kept finding ammo

i get 234 and 176, the former sounds more accurate to me as i typically find myself better than average but far from the top, and when i am closer to the top it's because i rely more on knowledge and strategy than twitch reactions

>the icon of sin was kinda easy tho
I always found this odd about Plutonia.
It's the original hard wad, but the last map is just kill the Cyberdemon, win.

Don't shout at me, I'm kind of a noob but:

How come the palette gets all messed up if you try to make a map with both doom and hexen resources, for example?

If you're editing with GZDoomBuilder and intending for the map to be played with hardware acceleration, why does the colour palette matter, shouldn't it be true colour?

Again I'm a noob so I don't understand a lot of how this stuff works, I'm just trying to branch out into how you use external assets n shit. Thanks.

>>7979392
The graphics are paletted. Use SLADE to convert them to truecolor PNGs first.

>>7979305
>though it is a bit linear.
A bit is an understatement. Foursite showcases why linear maps don't always work as large maps. With how separate and isolated a lot of the sections are, I reckon it could have easily been split into multiple maps.

Is there a way in Boom to make the upper texture darker? The ceiling works with the transfer brightness special, but wall textures? Do they even work?

>>7979373
it was kinda weird tbqh i guess i thought it was a pretty hard wad but i've beaten everything else on UV. master levels, no rest for the living, beaten multiple fan wads tons of times but never plutonia
last level was super easy doom 2 and tnt have way harder icon of sins imo, i got nuked so many times in tnt's last level before i beat it lmao

>>7979407
Couple of things...
- the Railgun impulse seems to be broken, as it overlaps with another impulse already
- the game will crash (at least on QSS) when zooming in with the error "gfx/RAILCROSS.pcx has wrong encoding or bit depth". Considering there's already a copy of the same image in .LMP format already in the same folder...I recommend you just stick to LMP for guaranteed compatibility across engines for now.
I also had another question. How do you make animated textures for weapons, like you did for the Railgun? I'm going to dive into the model in Blender to examine it, but just in case I don't discover how you did it I'd like to know an explanation.

>>7979413
Yes. Mind that ports which aren't GzDoom, Zandronum, or Eternity, will not accept truecolor .pngs for graphics.

>>7979515
Uh, possibly indent the candle alcove by one map unit or something, then transfer brightness to the floor of the indent.

>>7979435
Thanks m8.

>>7979558

>the game will crash (at least on QSS) when zooming in with the error "gfx/RAILCROSS.pcx has wrong encoding or bit depth"
That's really weird, because I have it looking for the .lmp not the .pcx. I guess it's automatic replacement. I'll take it off the Mega and hopefully it not being there will fix it.
>How do you make animated textures for weapons, like you did for the Railgun?
You can put multiple image textures in the same material and they'll play in sequence automatically. Pic related is my setup. The limit *seems* to be 4 frames, but idk since this doesn't seem to be well documented.

>>7979606
>That's really weird, because I have it looking for the .lmp not the .pcx. I guess it's automatic replacement. I'll take it off the Mega and hopefully it not being there will fix it.

Yeah, as soon as I realised what a headache it would be to convert every single sprite and texture I want to use to the right palette I basically gave up on the idea of vanilla compatibility; and using stuff made in the Doom palette seems to drastically limits your options for extra props etc.

I mean it's not like anyone isn't using GZDoom or similar nowadays anyway right? Are there some stubborn pricks out there who insist wads made in 2021 should work on the original DOS .exe?

The sounds and the new projectile effect are perfect. They keep the same beats as the later games' railguns but with Q1's flair.

>>7979642
I just realized that what I said was actually smarter than what I meant to suggest, so you're extra welcome.

>>7979407
That's just amazing, anon. Great job. Seeing these updates is kind of inspiring... I really should stop being an indecisive loser and start writing down design notes for my own mod, see if I can use Trenchbroom properly on my laptop (+ other stuff for Quake modding) and look into programs like GIMP (for Pixel Art and in general since I also occasionally use Paint 3D) and Sekaiju (for making MIDI music): any recommendations are welcomed. Also revive my blog and see what I can do there.

I was set back by some shitty IRL stuff and there're more important things to do, but I think it's best to also somehow force myself to dive deeper into /vr/ related hobbies as that's what I find interesting.

>>7979756
server closed, thanks for testing it with me

Started making a lil castle. Ain't much but it's cozy.

Quick show of hands: Do people like or hate dynamic lighting in Doom maps? I have a feeling like it's considered heresy, but I've been doing more Quake stuff lately and it's hard to resist how easily you can make a map atmospheric as fuck that way.

>>7979906
nice castle, it is cozy for sure

>>7979906
If you're mapping for ZDoom or other advanced ports, go ahead, though I would advise against using dynamic lights as your exclusive source of light for a level, I've seen this done a few times, and it may look good, but it usually gives shit performance.
Choose a decent ambient level of light for your given area and then spruce it up with some ambient lights.

Oh fuk. Sandy is a transphobe!
What do we do!?

>>7979906
I like it. The castle. Indifferent to dynamic lighting so long as it's tasteful.

>>7976796
Hello I'm a noob zoomer and I want to play some doom/duke/thief. I have a shitty pc running windows 10. Where the fuck do I start? faq? Do I need to purchase a copy of each game first ?

>>7979931
also is each one of these links safe or am I gonna get some malware from clicking away?

>>7979936
if they weren't safe then they wouldn't have been in every OP since forever

>>7979936
Thief, install it, get the Newdark patch and play. That's pretty much it.
Doom, get a port, get the iwads, done. I'd get PRBoom or Crispy Doom or something if you want something that plays like the original with sharper visuals.
Duke, I'm not actually sure anymore. I look it up every time I want to play. I think I have some Russian cracked copy of Megaton Edition on a flash drive or something.

>>7979946
Thanks m8. Why is doom different in that you need to get both a "port" and a wad? Why isn't it like other programs where you just download an executable or a zip with all the necessary components?

>>7979646
He needs to cool down his head a little more, I think.

>>7979931
>>7979936
The OP ones are safe. For Doom, grab the iwads and something like Crispy Doom or DSDA, then jump in with the first one. The classic Doom games don't let you use the mouse to look up and down, instead it has a vertical auto-aim to adjust your point of impact up or down towards enemies, but it does let you use the mouse for turning horizontally, which you should still do. Jumping and crouching aren't part of the original game either. Stuff like freelook and jumping are features one can use with more advanced ports, and it can be a fun change, though you'll want to get a feel for the base game first.

If you have any kind of habit with FPS games at all, you can play Doom 1 on Ultra-Violence, it's mostly not that hard (except for Episode 4, which you may want to save for later). Doom 2 ups the ante, but doesn't go that hardcore, however Final Doom is meant to be extra hard, so if you feel they're too tough, don't feel bad about giving them a go on Hurt Me Plenty instead.
Many (though by no means all) level sets people make for Doom set out to be more challenging than the base Doom and Doom 2 games, so don't feel forced to play anything and everything on UV, it may end up too tough.

What's the command for increasing draw distance in QS? I'm playing Ter Shibboleth and the maps have huge skyboxes that turn gray.

>>7979952
Doom is nearly 30 years old and you can't run the original executable without using DOSBox or a source port. Source ports are what make it compatible with newer operating systems and hardware.

>>7979952
The base game files are things called IWADs. They contain all the copyrighted assets. The engine itself is what is freeware, so people make ports to play Doom on different machines. The ports are free, and the IWADs contain all the stuff you can't give away for free legally

It's gonna be the same with all the other retro shooters like douk, you need the game files and a port, some ports auto-detect the game files, sometimes you need to put the files in the same folder

>>7979952
The .wad is the archive which contains all the assets; levels, graphics, sounds, palettes, etc. Installing it back in the day, the installer created the .exe and then the .wad, there was a thought that users could make their own .wads and share them, and that you could then run them with the base .exe. The thought was towards usermade content and probably also sequels and expansions.

There was some clunky limitations with this if you were using the original .exes, due to some lack of foresight, ending up requiring solutions like patching new contents onto your original .wad to get certain results (and then patch it out to restore it).
However, later ports, which were made possible thanks to the source code being published, would look at something like doom.wad or doom2.wad and use that as your basis, and then you could load another .wad on top of that, and whatever is in the new .wad overwrites whatever would be in the base one while playing, but without altering the .wads themselves.

This got nicknamed internal .wad (iwad), and patch .wad (pwad). Basically just grab doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, and plutonia.wad, and then whatever port you use should detect those and use them.
You could also use something like DoomLauncher, so you can just select iwads and pwads as you please, with your port of choice, so you don't have to futz with making shortcuts or .bat files or anything.

thanks for the explanations anons. I think I'll jump in and start tinkering. I've been in the mood for some old school fps since my pc has an ancient gpu that can only play stuff from late 90's and early 00's

>>7980024
I know. Just mentioned it since that's one of the things that kind of interest me. Besides, nothing stops you from (in theory) make a MIDI track and recond/convert/whatever to MP3/OGG format so source ports can play it.
Yes, I surely don't know what I'm talking about.

>>7978569
Setting the sector lighting to shaders doesn't work. It reverts to GLBoom every time I select it.

So now we got some alternate flamers depending what sorta potion effect you have, defense potion makes you constantly shoot fire like how the flamers currently work, and the power potion just vents everything in one big shot. I think this feels pretty good, though I need to add some screenshake for both of these, and get a new sound for that big shot.

>>7980074

Which game has the best movement? Quake is great when you're going forwards, but Blood feels better because you can jump much higher.

just make a small map first, don't overthink it.
re:laptops, as a point of reference, a 15y.o. laptop gradually starts losing responsiveness in Trenchbroom around 2k brushes. vanilla maps are about 1k-1.5k each.
and if TB doesn't run, you can just fall back to Radiant or something - how do you think id devs did it?

it's in the readme m8

I am currently working on a map and having a tough time with designing a certain encounter. Basically what I usually do is being stingy with weapons and health and giving people just enough plus a little bit to survive.
For this though I want to go all-out, i.e. full backpack, all weapons, 200% everything - and of course it needs a fitting encounter.

What I have now here is some kind of arena and it's filled with monsters, including two cyberdemons.
The idea was to make you move and watch out for all those projectiles and having you go to town on them with your arsenal WITHOUT becoming slaughter, i.e. it should be easy enough so you don't need a specific strategy to survive, but still not too easy.
Now what I realized was that as soon as the carnage starts, there's MASSIVE infighting and basically if I run around the area in a circle for a few minutes, the cyberdemons will have taken care of most monsters.
Could that be spun as a valid strategy? Like you first enter and go "oh shit", but when you take a step back you notice that they're already killing each other?

Feedback would be appreciated. Also note that the arena area is not quite finished yet, I have just laid out the general layout and started adding some details.

P.P.S. Update, this is most probably "Perfection Fades in Eyes Imperfect"-compatible prose.
Another example of such an artistic work is E2M2-E2M6 from Quake.

Thank you for quickly responding to my near-autistic nitpicky complaints after every playtesting session dear VR-anon...

I dont care if this games overall theme is cringe incarnate - IMO the fact that you can accidentally blow youself up with uncollected explosive ammo pickups is beyond SOVL

>>7980290
SOVL is soulless

>>7980280
can't test rn, but you can work around infighting somewhat by raising the cyberdemons (the higher the platforms the less chance of grazing the horde). you can then add buttons that lower thees platforms - this would mean it would have to be a deliberate early move from the player.

>>7978543
Does releasing HL:Alyx instead of Riccochet2 counts as the second rltime?

>>7979407
Come to think of it, the gray flex-tape banding gets lost way too easily within the gun model itself sadly - any chance to recolor it either brown or orange for clarity?

Mine is like 8 years old at the moment. Well, I considered to aim for small vanilla-like maps from the get-go. Although for the mod I would probably have to forget about purism at least due to more freedom in HUD customization for more recent stuff.
>how do you think id devs did it?
That's one of the things that didn't let me completely abandon this idea. Like, back in a day people made some amazing stuff using the hardware that's currently outdated by today's standard. On top of that, you can see various degress of nonsense and terrible creations being made today by modders and the like. So, if someone is able to make out-of-place shitty graphics mod or terrible maps, why do I still come up with various obstacles that suppose to stop me and ruin everything as usual? What if I stop being a miserable bitch and at least give it a try instead of giving up without fighting?
Perhaps that's the moment where I would reach genuine success with this mission pack type of thing.

tfw 330 average aaaagh

So I picked up Doom 1 & 2 on my switch because they were like two bucks each and the ports feel pretty good although it's been a long time since I played Doom with sticks. They even included Master Levels with Doom 2 and that just makes me happy because a whole new generation is gonna experience invisible ledges.

>>7979952
64 bit windows can't run dos games anymore, and if it could it would probably run like ass on most machines anyways, so you have to get a port of the source code to something slightly newer for it to work. chocolate doom is a straight enough port without many changes but something like crispy doom or prboom+ has more qol stuff for most sane human beings. some ports like gzdoom change so much they aren't great for actually playing doom but they're instead great for modding doom by having shit like scripting and true 3d movement and rendering and 3d models and stuff, so if you want crazy mods check out gzdoom forums, but don't reccomend it for vanilla playing

I was playing Heretic with dsda-doom, and something odd happened.
>fighting an iron lich and a few ophidians
>get killed by an ophidian, they start to infight with the iron lich

Does anyone know the cause of this? Was this a source port issue or something else?
