Can anyone explain this?

To make things clear - I am the guy who usually shitposts in this thread, evades ban ten times in a row and makes tranny jannies seethe. I have nothing to do with the retard in the last thread who was attacking Revae for no reason and I will buy REKKR on launch or at least on a first sale.

>>8091448
go fuck yourself

>>8091463
yea, youre a faggot.

Tranny janny deleted my post. He is trying to pin the anti-Revae spergout in the last thread on me. He also shitposted several times in this thread by himself to pin it on me. I will never tell people to shut up or call them faggots without at least giving a reason.

Tranny janny banned me for 15 minutes. He finally realized he can't ban me for three days like usual, and hopes that I will not bother to evade ban if it's that short. Imagine what, I just did, and I will do it again except I will do it silently so there is literally nothing you can do about it.

making these maps is fun but I cant code for shit. day 3

Listening to Quake OST after dozens and dozens of minutes spent on Doom 1 maps listening to the midis... I'm gonna say it, Doom OST sucks!

here's your (you) now fuck off.

>>8091715
I want a No Remorse total conversion wad so badly. One of vidya's greatest ironies is that the Crusader series tried to stand out for its isometric perspective, when it's by far the most dated aspect. The arsenal, the various gore/death animations, variety in levels, proto-Deus Ex elements, and comfy rebel base interludes are top-tier.

>>8091783
How is it contrarian, you kneejerk (You) giver? Composition wise a few tracks are alright, only E1M1 is really iconic, the rest range from serviceable to make it stop as rendered in midi in-game.

>>8091784
There is one, sort of, but it's 90s pre-dehacked stuff so it's not worth it even if it can be found.

Let's be fair, what made Doom good was bits and pieces of Tom Hall's bible, Sandy Petersen advice and Adrian's art, Romero has fuck all to do with it.

>>8091901

>>8091894

>>8091910
Petersen is the reason why we have shotgun in the first place. I bet that they've made linear progression of weapons again if not for him.

>>8091913
I rescind my statement.

>>8091906
idtech was GOAT until Carmack left in 2013. The world wasn't ready for full dynamic lighting and megatextures. UE had a lot more documentation and tutorials and shit which led to its popularity.

>>8091907

Sorry American. Though I would have liked to see what an E3 with you instead od Sandy would have looked like

>>8091894
I appreciate all the wip, unreleased and behind-the-scenes stuff, even if some see it as pawning off your oscar or something. thanks, Romero.

kinda on topic, I'm almost sure the only reason System Shock 2 soundtrack still exists in good quality is because some rogue dev (I suspect Josh Randall) posted it anonymously on ttlg at some point.

Holy shit, we should all be thankful for the mapping scene. Vanilla Doom 2 is really, really boring, despite the new monsters and SSG. I can't even pinpoint why, apart from a general ominous "hurr level design".

Why do some people say vanilla when referring to the original maps? I thought it meant the original engine?

>>8092024
because they're dum

>>8092024
Vanilla is a general term for no alterations. No alteration to what is ambiguous.

Got the ZM66 done for this weapon skin pack. This was a longer webm and I can't be assed to record a shorter one. So here you go, and have a picture with all the guns I've done so far as you're more likely to read this post and see the video if I do so.

Plus I think these all look really cool.

>>8091636
I'm pretty sure bfg always had a donut anus.

Thoughts on Heretic?

>>8092052
I liked it, but the roster is less fun than Doom 2.

>>8092052
Bretty good, way better looking levels than Doom but somehow bullet spongy feeling enemies, good item usage. Without the tome weapons are mostly Doom weapons with a different sprite tho

>>8092028
>No alteration to what is ambiguous.
No it's not. Vanilla is the original, period.
Anything beyond is not vanilla.
However, some people confuse it with "vanilla compatible". So a map with new textures and such, being not a vanilla map, can still be vanilla compatible.

>>8092052
like it a lot. it's mindblowing how a level can be called the chasm or the labyrinth and then you actually find a chasm or labyrinth in there.

>>8092036
Kegan found another thing to keep himself bound to GZDoom.

How do we fix enemy roster in Heretic? What roles are lacking?

>>8091932
I think there are good maps in Doom 2. It just suffered from being rushed, so its a bit all over the place in quality and theming. I also wish American McGee had more chances to use the Doom 2 roster.

>>8092054
The average enemies yeah, though I'd say the bosses are more interesting, at least in terms of their complexity.

My problem with Doom 2 is mainly that it adds a bunch of new tough monsters, and then barely uses most of them, which also had the sideffect of people thinking the SSG is OP, because the game often doesn't have the combat to justify its inclusion in levels.

>>8092093
A lot of people will literally just say a hitscanner or two, but I don't know.

>>8092097
The Dsparil or however he is spelled is great. Iron Liches are annoying. Maultaurs are fairly generic.

>>8092064
Use of the term "Vanilla" is only really a problem when someone calls an advanced engine required map "vanilla" all because they didn't include custom weapons/enemies.

>>8092108
>when someone calls an advanced engine required map "vanilla" all because they didn't include custom weapons/enemies.
People do that?

>>8092106
Maulotaurs might be a little generic but as a Cyberdemon equivalent, they've still got multiple attacks and stuff.

>>8092106
the annoying tornadoes are completely neutralized by shadowspheres, as long as you learn to stay still and dodge only when needed.
d'sparil is pretty boring, aside from teleporting around.

>>8092103
Do we really need hitscanners at all? I mean, Vile is great, and maybe it will be nice to backport fast projectiles from Hexen and give them to some enemy? Also other potential issues:
>sabreclaws fucking suck
>weredragons need a better ranged attack (flamethrower maybe?)
>maybe recolor fire gargoyles and nitrogolems?

>>8092093
a healer and a support monster, a single monster with both roles works as well.

>>8092093
maybe getting create with enemy projectile patterns like a "diet bullet hell game" kind of thing
i remember ghost enemies being a thing, so maybe enemies recieves more damage from some attacks

Started doing some architecture studies for my map.
I am way too spoiled by 3D floors and slopes to make this as I want, as I had to pull down the sky to make this work, but from the gate's perspective it will now cover the tower (which doesn't even have a backside.
Is there any way to make such structure like houses with towers you can "walk around" from the outside and inspect from all sides, but that you can still enter?

>>8092115
There are people who even think Knee Deep in ZDoom is vanilla.

>>8092120
fixing sabreclaws is easy, just make their death explosion an actual explosion. enemies that exist only to explode are stupid, but enemies that try to hurt you and then explode are much better.

what the difference between chocolate doom and crispy doom I use them both it look the same

>>8092138
Crispy removes static limits, Chocolate doesn't.
But you could also find this information with 5 seconds of googling and I am fairly sure it even tells you on the sites where you download them.

>>8092127
Between Ophidians, Disciples and Nitrogolems I think we have a good selection of projectile monsters already. Maybe change Weredragons to belch full-auto fireballs Arachnotron-style at distance and flamethrower-style breath at short range.

>>8092141 Oh

do the nehahra monsters use multiplayer bot code?

>>8092152
I think it's just simple backpedal and dodge logic, plus lack of pause while attacking.
you can check qc yourself, sources are out there somewhere.

>>8092102
>which also had the sideffect of people thinking the SSG is OP, because the game often doesn't have the combat to justify its inclusion in levels.
It’s pretty fine near the start against zombies, imps, and demons where it is indeed pretty useful. Then ‘The Focus’ happens and two things are thrown at the player: Chaingunners, and some distance between them. The SSG starts to lose some effectiveness here.
Throughout here and /v/ I’ve seen some weird justifications for thinking it’s ‘the best’, like how similar its damage is to hitting someone with a rocket - while ignoring the fire rate, range, and the splash. There’s others who use the SSG’s reload as an excuse to use cover, which can discourage people from actually learning how to properly move around enemy attacks like revenant projectiles.

>>8091958
You can either emulate it on MAME, or play the 360/ps3/ps4 version. DS version if you really want to

Happy September /doom/

>>8092128
If the open area's shape is not convex, the sky will eat walls like that. You absolutely can have buildings of different height (And looking good) if you don't let player go on the other side.
Like on this picture from a map I'm making currently.

Adding a wall to the left building's left to block you from putting short building between you and tall one is probably the best option you have here.

Of course you can't do a backstreet this way.

>>8092204
Shiiiet, that's what I thought. Oh well, I'm only brainstorming right now anyway and my sketch is widely out of scale and has nothing but the two important rooms yet lol.

Question to the people who actually draw their level before making it:
Do you lay down every single room and basically have a finished blueprint before you start making the map or do you just draw some general shapes with important rooms and then wing the inbetween stuff?

Anyone can answer?

>>8091994
>How to edit Obsidian-generated levels with UDBuilder? Tried to add some dynamic lights and all switches/doors/etc. became unusable. The format was Doom 2 UDMF.

>>8092024
>>8092064
You're confusing the term ''Vanilla style'' with ''Vanilla compatible'' because it's two different things.

''Vanilla style'' is just a slang in the Doom community when a map looks simpler (static limits) or shittier/low quality (just like the original maps or maps from the 90's because most of them were made in the vanilla engine) and it doesn't include new features especially when the map is made for an advanced engine.

''Vanilla compatible'' is basically a map that is compatible with the original engine.

>>8091894
>you're fired

>>8091894
It's okay Romero, you rock.
Sandy is a liar and sucks.

Can I still use GZDB with the /vr/ monsters? They don't show up.

>>8092243
You have to place a thing and put in the corresponding ednum in the number field (player start has 1, for example). They go from 1000 to 1005. Skelly boi is 1004.

Something almost as bad is watching someone put away the fist when the 'red screen' effect from the berserk pack disappears, and don't bring it out the rest of the level.

>>8092437
It doesn't ruin what I want to watch, actually angry sperg. >>8092436 is right that we've all been there.

>>8092193
The focus is a bad example, as that distance is still small enough that you can easily just run up to them in less than a second and oneshot them anyway. That beginning area is only challenging when you pistol start it (and thus, dont have an ssg).

>>8092128
Maybe you can find a trick with boom's underwater sector special. The only restriction would be that you can't look at the sky and the room's ceiling at the same time.

>>8092448
>The focus is a bad example, as that distance is still small enough that you can easily just run up to them in less than a second and oneshot them anyway
The chaingunners have shotgunners in front of them, and then you have all these other hitscanners to worry about while you're reloading and running up there. The chaingun is a far safer fit.

>>8092470
Chaingun is safer, yes. My point is that the SSG isn't useless here, unless you like to stand still a lot.

>>8092437
my point was, sperg, that the super shotgun does work as a sole weapon for most of the game.

>>8092476
>My point is that the SSG isn't useless here
I agree with you, especially since I never said it was useless here.

>>8092480
one of the reasons why doom 2 is garbage

>>8092451
Can you elaborate? I seem to be too dumb to find it.

>>8092482
Ah, I misread
>The SSG starts to lose some effectiveness here.
as
>The SSG starts to lose some usefulness here.
My bad.

>>8090962
>none of the expansions
What, the Sunstorm ones? That's not really Randy's fault, neither 3DRealms nor Gearbox owns those expansions, Sunstorm did, and now whoever acquired them, or acquired whatever company acquired the company that acquired them (etc). You'd have to find who actually owns them now, inform them that they own them, and then negotiate rights with them, also hoping that they're not gonna be Atari about it, assuming they're even gonna give you the time of day.

The reason those expansions were in Megaton Edition was because Scott Miller 'authorized' their inclusion, which he couldn't actually do, and probably exposed himself to legal risk by doing. I'm glad that he did so that people got to play Caribbean, because it's amazing and deserves to be played, but I could never demand a guy like Scott to take a risk like that, and I understand why Randy, who's widely disliked in the industry, didn't do the same thing and open himself up to potential litigation.

I'll agree that the BFG Edition ports of Classic Doom were turds, and the later Unity ports were similar turds on launch, but I think that with the fixing, they're quite adequate.

Doomworld is such a terrible place. People look like sociopaths there.

>>8092525
I mean yes but... people don't look like sociopaths here? Do you know where we are?

>>8092528
The difference is that here people are at least honest about it.

>>8091453
Apparently we have only 12 map slots left, I guess that's a good sign.

I'm wondering how many of you just started making the halloween map?

Any Questions, Project's title ideas, Suggestions, anything for the project?

>>8092534
That file from the end of the last thread, is that the finished one or is there stuff to come? I wanted to wait until all resources are done before I really start mapping.

>>8092480
I mean, even then, I should've said something different as it's still effective at killing them. It's the amount of damage you can take compared to using the chaingun there that I failed to highlight.
>>8092480
Doom 2 and other similar wads are comfortable enough to allow it. The problem is when the player tricks themselves into thinking the entire game is balanced around that SSG, and will label anything that can't be safely SSG'd as "unfair", "boring", or "slaughtershit".

>>8092528
Nah, we're great.

The gargoyle should have a fraction of the imp's health, since it's a fraction of the size. I think 25 is good since it's supposed to be an enemy to spice up pistol starts, and can even be used in such a way that shotgunning it is a waste of shells

PC can't handle effects like lighting and mist in GZDoom. Any settings I can tweak to increase performance?

>>8092582
Disable lighting and fog

>>8092602
Other than that, I like how these effects look like

>>8092582
Use this
https://github.com/drdteam/gzdoom-gles/tags

It's an experimental branch of GZDoom that uses a renderer called OpenGL ES, which is friendlier for potatoes. It disables some post-processing bells and whistles to give better performance while still looking good. After you get it running, make sure you actually switch to the OpenGL ES renderer in the options.

There will be more stuff to come like a bit more of textures and fixing the OTEX textures, maybe the third update will come to this week/weekend fixing all those issues.

The rest would be just sprites or graphics replacement. That wouldn't affect your map at all. now that the custom monsters are implemented you can still start working in your map with those textures, at least for now.

>>8092642
Don't worry, i'm working on that.

>What's the plan for skies?
Use them, I guess?

>Is it going to be map slot-dependent, or will the author be able to choose one?
You have to claim a free slot depending on the difficulty you want to implement for your map. Just say what map slot do you wanna claim and I put there it was Taken by you. simple as that, Check out the excel sheet.

Is there a wiki page somewhere with details about how fast Caleb is, how high he can jump, how low he crouches, etc?

>>8092732
That's not at all what I asked. Are skies going to be episode-dependent like in the vanilla game, or can they vary regardless of map slot?

>>8092749
If the Blood wiki doesn't have it, it doesn't exist.

Play MAP04 of Morbid Autumn then look at it in the editor. I'm treating this map as the bible for my level and stealing ideas from it. It has some interesting solutions for this exact issue you're speaking of. If you've played Morbid Autumn and try to remember its atmosphere, you're probably envisioning this level. It's a masterpiece and I can't say enough good things about it.

Generated in Doom 2 UDFM and saved in Doom 2 UDFM (configuration for saving is "ZDBSP - UDFM Nortal (no reject)"). I didn't even change anything on the map. I just added one big light source (I use a skybox with a big bright moon) to reflect the pbr materials. Doors and switches stop working one you save the map in UDBuildier.

I played the level, was really cool. Especially the start in that bloody stable and that laboratory thing with the tesla coils.

Sadly it didn't have the solution for my problem, as all the buildings' roofs were even; no towers or anything. That's something I can already solve by myself.

That said, I have found another solution in the meantime and I hope it will have a great payout.

Are you a legasthenic or something? How can you mistype it three times?
Also, have you tried saving the map just as it is without changing anything? Maybe rebuilding the nodes? Can you put up the obsidian map somewhere, I would like to have a look myself, sounds like a fascinating issue.

This one.

>>8092093
Heretic's bestiary is perfectly fine. What's really lacing is Hexen's. None of the monsters are threatening, you have to either spam the hell out of them or severely restrict the player's movement.
The Wendigo are one of the best enemies but their theme makes them more difficult to use outside of ice levels.

>>8092850
imagine the smell

>>8092952
I wish Hexen just reused some of Heretic's enemies like the Iron Lich or made you fight some enemy Maulotaurs.

I miss these but I at least understand the disconnect, I remember when they were still trying to push the 2016 Cyberdemon.

>>8092948
Well to be fair it does blatantly use the No Remorse intro but yeah.

>>8092920
punchatz needed a new monster, so he looked at the marble texture from doom 1 as inspiration, creating something with a similar face but no tubes
the "tubes" on the game sprites are just the little nubs on the sides of the head scaled down, which is why it looks like they connect to the head
OR
certain frames look more like the base model while others have clearly visible ridges along the head, which means that some sprites were edited after being digitized to look more like the mural

but that's just a theory

>>8092982
i though adrian just edited them in just because
i also know they thought of a "medic monster" during 1's development and that texture always existed
likewise, so did the ios portrait before 2

>>8092886
I really like "The Cacolantern'' name but Collection 2021 is kinda odd imo. but it's getting close.

>>8092982
I just think ID never paid attention or even cared about those details.
Just see the weird looking demons from Doom 1 cover, Doomguy's haircut and the black/brown gloves case.

>>8092938
In Doom mapping there is only one map format that begins with a letter U, so I somehow didn't even bother if the spelling is correct.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/xrof6alvdky56zi/Desktop.zip/file

1.wad was generated in Obsidian
2.wad was opened in UDBuilder, where I created one sector and then deleted it and saved. The switches and doors don't work there.

>>8093027
> I really like "The Cacolantern'' name but Collection 2021 is kinda odd imo. but it's getting close.

Use it as you see fit!
I'd love to fit it into :____s & Cacolanterns but cant think up a good first article... yet

>>8093036
Catacombs?

>>8092938
This is what I wanted to do. To make the levels lighter because of the "skybox light" which would also "reflect" the materials of the textures.

>>8093040
OOOh thats good! Takes its self serious which is how youd want to go if the maps turn out really moody and great.

If the majority of maps turn out wacky and you want to really meme it up call it "Candycorn & Cacolanterns"

>>8092929
You didn't look closely. All the buildings are different heights, and you can look at multiple at the same time, without sky sectors blocking your view. The solution is spacing out your buildings (quite a bit) and positioning them so that the lower sky sectors don't block anything behind them

>>8093072
Ah that's what you meant. Yeah, sure, that's a solution. Sadly I can't do that with my map, but I am right in the process of trying out layouts and routing the player in a way he can't look at low skies.

>>8093029
>>8093041
Is this Doom 3 or what lol
Anyway, I have no idea what seems to be the issue. I opened 1, rebuild nodes, saved, same problem.
Maybe Obsidian is using a slightly different kind of UDMF? Also I noticed lots of "unkown" nonsensical, non-existing line specials and that all doors seem to be polyobjects, which are pretty tricky in and by themselves.

>>8092621

Starting to approach the proper shape of the castlemansionpriory.
Now all I have to do is properly bring it in line with the interior.

All I have to do for that is actually making a plan and think about the progression.

i don't mind. its just like alright

>>8093413
Is there somewhere you can read the miscellaneous fun facts and changes like this? Aside from the changelog since there's mostly a bunch of fixes and technical stuff to sift through with those

I also recently learned about the whole "if using doom as iwad, you can sometimes miss imps when shooting at their feet, since they have a gap between their legs - but if using freedoom as iwad, this is no longer the case because serpentipedes don't have legs"

>>8093661
Ideally, there would be an "advanced" setting to in-game tips for stuff like this.

I just had an idea for a secret exit, but I don't know if it's doable in MBF21:

The basic idea is that the player has to die in a specific spot to trigger the exit BUT it can't be a damaging floor exit or a suicide exit with slipping under doors and such.
I was thinking of some kind of "sacrifice" exit where you have to get killed by a monster on an altar or in a pit or something.

>>8092802
That makes me wonder, do we have any midi anons here? I would be more surprised if we didn't considering how much talent there is here.

It's pretty thorny the whole way through on UV.

>>8093695
I don't know but I do know that there's no way to explain that to the player.
>keep the last monster alive, bro, just stand on the platform and let him thrash you, that's how you win

>>8093787
well at least i guess i know what to expect then from the wad.

>>8093782
Well we're done for today and possibly this week but let me know your preferred method of communicating and I'll give you the info.

>>8093796
You start the wad, hit a bowl, and are immediately dealing with a cyberdemon turret. It's pretty evil right out of the gate.

>>8093695
I would imagine it's possible since Knee Deep in the Dead did something similar, and that's 100% vanilla.

>>8093745
I'm honestly considering this as well.

>>8093501
Last I checked none of them were interested in multiplayer.

>>8093808
well yeah thats true, i guess its to be expected. i guess its what it is, the first level they have you punch out like 3 revenants and a hell knight in a tiny area or make them infight.
i guess its better than the wads. where you got everything by level 5

I am remembering Mancubian Candidate from Valiant. I was curious why the level seemed so hard.

>>8093501
God I wish
No more command line and inclusion of doomseeker with gzdoom will be a godsend

>>8093791
>>8093821
How about something like mancubian candidate where to access the secret exit, you can't kill a mancubus/arachnotron becuase doing so will block off the secret exit?
I'd do it myself but fuck, MAP07 is already claimed

CANON

>>8093871
ITS A MOD!

>>8092952
True, Hexen needs better enemies AND more/better weapons.

>>8093873
it was technically an official release but they eventually released a later version with different textures, if i recall

>>8093841
With Boom, any map can use the map07 stuff, so you can have a megawad of Dead Simple clones. And with UMAPINFO any map can have a secret exit

>>8093791
That's why it's a secret exit and I mean it's not much more obscure than some other secrets in the OG Dooms or other wads.

>>8093814
You are thinking of the E1M8 death exit, but that's a damaging floor. A sector special for that exists, but that would be boring.

>>8093895
True, but judging by the spreadsheet, it doesn't look like that's allowed.

>>8093893
Still has the UAC textures on Steam and GOG.

>>8093926
so i assume they never bothered to look for the fixed version, then

Another dumb Boom question:

Are multi key doors possible? I.e. ONE door that needs TWO keys to open?

so, launchers. any good ones?

I want a stripped-down, game-agnostic frontend - just a sortable table of custom commands, with simple metadata. I've posted this maybe a year ago.
like FMSel but generalized, customizable and without archive reading. like QuakeInjector but generalized, customizable, offline and not in fucking java. like DoomLauncher but generalized, customizable, unbloated, lightweight and not breaking from a theme change.

I would like to be able to: fully customize each command; sort by date; filter by author; leave text comments. that's about it. does it exist? I'll write it myself if I must, eventually.

>>8093920
I'm sure if you bothered to make two maps, project lead would oblige you

>>8093895
>With Boom, any map can use the map07 stuff, so you can have a megawad of Dead Simple clones. And with UMAPINFO any map can have a secret exit

In this project only one map can use tag 666-667 and it's MAP07, secret exit is only available in MAP15.

>>8093957
I think only three or six key doors are possible.

I know lots of peeps hate on it but I really like the 'Brutal' mods it just makes things like Wolfenstein 3D so much more playable. I can get why they are disliked, especially Brutal Doom (Which I prefer Dakka w/ Nashgore and Droplets anyway), but I still think they have a place.

>>8094068
It's MBF21 so any of that stuff is possible unless project lead just outright rejects the map or refuses to make a umapinfo patch

farthest I ever got was refueling base, that opening area is a death trap that quickly becomes a nightmarish war of attrition against a legion of corpses that refuse to stay down

quality sucks... but stretching and clipping textures is almost there

>>8094204
That's not too shabby. It looks like it stretches a little off in some areas, becoming wider than it should (if that makes sense), but it seems to not impact performance much or at all. The transparent lines seem to be all that effect it too much.
What's your level editor look like? I'm curious.

>>8094236
I believe some of the distortion is due to it not being perspective correct, but probably some of it is also due to precision issues or my math being a little off.

For gameplay mods I can't recommend Treasure Tech hard enough, it's Wario Land 4 as an FPS by way of Doom and it's a blast and a half. The map in the webm is from Sucker Punch 2, but you can play Treasure Tech with any maps that don't have custom weapons or enemies.

Alright, alright. I'll shit the wads if you REALLY want me to. We'll resume Plutonia 3.

Why are those machine gun casings blue?

>>8094276
Cool. That looks serviceable. When you're done are you going to release the editor etc too?

>>8094403
Why aren't all machine gun casings blue?

>>8094461
sure

>>8094392
>you can play Treasure Tech with any maps that don't have custom weapons or enemies.
won't the jumping and massively different gameplay break things

>>8094507
Jumping can be (and usually is nowadays) disabled with MAPINFO, and you can still ground pound off of tackles. Either way, sequence breaking is the player's choice. If you have to jump to reach an elevated platform or charge-tackle to clear a gap, then you're pretty obviously not supposed to.

>18/50 secrets by the exit
New low for me, also the sheer amount of secrets in Sepulcher doesn't help.
Love those little text pieces in Leptis Magna, Firetop Mountain, Forgotten Sepulcher.

That's another gun down. Not bad for something I drew in a day.

>>8095019
I have a feeling your pack is going to be popular for people to edit with their hands of choice.

>>8095026
People can do that if they want, I'm just making this handless so it can theoretically work with anything.
I'll be really happy to know a bunch of people use this pack, one way or another.

>>8095019
did you just want a custom set of handless weapons or are you planning on using this as a base?

>>8095036
I know that feel, even if my pack is made out of other people's sprites with varying degrees of editing, I still feel good when I see other people use it.

>>8095037
They'll all be handless. I'm making it with the mindset of it'd work with any sorta character or skin a player uses. I WAS going to make a set of weapons using the robot hands of my character, but when I inevitably die and spectate my squad, they'd have my hands suddenly and that sucks.

>>8094402
That was a thing. And there's still dozens of maps of it to go.

>>8095091
8 bacon cheeseburgers loaded and drenched in mayonnaise going in my fuckin gut dayum
Also holy shit your viewer count has doubled, where did all these guys come from?

>>8095097
I don't know either, why does anyone willingly subject themselves to my streams?

>>8095097
Given who showed up in the chat, I'm guessing we've got some people adjacent to regulars starting to drop by.

>>8095102
Regardless of who it is, I hope the streams don't get too big. I love the vibe of just the same 7 or 8 dudes chilling and laughing at shitty wads, it's comfy.
>>8095109
Yeah, I think I know who. Not gonna name names tho cause i'm not a fag

Actually, regular boom was still confined to map07 for the doom 2 bossdeath specials until UMAPINFO became a thing. MBF21 also allows more freedom.
>>8094090
>dark scythe
For the record, this project made use of keendie (separate from bossdeath, and works in anylevel) in dehacked, alongside conveyer voodoo scripting to accomplish a similar effect to the dead simple specials. Even though UMAPINFO was a thing back in April 1 2020, It likely didn't use UMAPINFO because it was initially released before DSDA-Doom came around to help increase everyones confidence towards using UMAPINFO lumps, as PrBoom+ UM wasn't really properly under someones helm for a long while.

Got the rocket launcher done, this one was fast but man I am so goddamn pleased with that pickup sprite.

>>8095293
Leaning into the rotary grenade launcher mode of the RL doesn't happen often enough in reskin packs. It's even more surprising to see it come from someone who doesn't use it often.

Hey MAP05 guy, how would you feel about forced pistol start?

>>8091985
Yes, and you can even spend five minutes on finding its source code and locating the "oldsky" variable in it to start figuring out how the windows and skies at the difficulty selection level and first game level work (use "cutscene 0").

Things like these were invented to simulate windows to the “outside” without rendering the actual empty volume between some skybox and level polygons (waste of z-buffer resolution, other level geometry can get in the way, and it will look like in noclip mode, etc.) on the hardware without stencil buffers that was fast only in one way (rasterize polygon and texture data to the buffer, no fancy shmancy arbitrary reads, blending and stuff). Software renderer had more freedom in how it could draw stuff. The trick was trying to project texture onto the wall and ceiling polygons to make it look like a different object. Lava and teleport warping was handled in a similar fashion. It looked nice when player was far from those polygons, but produced all kinds of typical perspective bugs up close because the angle between line of sight and rendered (projection on the) polygon could only be calculated once per plane or once per vertex, not once per pixel (or group of pixels), and interpolation of produced values gave incorrect results when those individual vectors were too far from each other.

It looks like Nehahra used the regular GLQuake sky for window polygons, but projected it to a vertical plane instead of the top horizontal one. Its new skies use a regular skybox approach. If you google "quake sky texture", and read everything it gives you on a couple of pages of results, you'll have a nice idea of how everything works. Here, for example, someone reinvents the ancient rendering techniques with shaders, and faces the same problems:
https://fluffels.github.io/quakeSky/

Your example from the previous thread looks like a simple miscalculation, maybe the 2× angle between the plane normal and LOS is taken at each vertex.

Input buffering, he's pressing a few other buttons all this time and when buffering is done they all go off at once multiple times in a single input check.

I'm not MAP05 guy but I approve of death exits

>>8095316

both

You're posting these entertaining streams on a public board in the most popular thread on /vr/, I'm surprised it's as small as it is.
I'm a lurker, only viewed a couple times live and usually watch the recordings, but the rustic charm of watching anon shit his way through shitwads (and HFFM) is chill & enjoyable. Anon being good but not an expert also makes it more comfy.

>>8095364

HFFM Really did harden and fasten him didn't it?

I'd join the streams more often but it's the middle of the night where I live when anon streams

>>8094105
I played most of Dark Scythe a little while ago and I was surprised by how enjoyable the maps were. Some of the them were simply not worth beating but I liked how wildly creative they were generally. My personal favorites were maps 21, 23, 29 and 43. I'm pretty sure 19 and 32 are also virtually unbeatable for varying reasons but still funny. Most of the maps beyond 32 fail at being either funny or worth playing except 43 which is well worth it. Overall I'd recommend it as a relatively beatable and inventive joke wad.

Hey Anon do you have any NSFW doom mods but it not Hdoom

>>8095436
Sorry, Anon. You'll have to wait until I finish my total conversion.

>>8095313
I've been practicing the rocket launcher more, along with the Vulc. But yeah, it bothers me too when people just make the RL in reskin packs just big launchers you shoulder.

Maybe I should link this to the anchor post though.

MAP05 guy, how do you think about forced pistol start? Project lead cool with it?

>>8092261

>>8092850

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? I just put a midtexture on a linedef and adjusted the offset so it would only cover the stone block, and in UDB it's shown correctly, but ingame it looks like this.

>>8095586
When putting a midtexture that is taller than the space it appears in, you need to have a different brightness level on the two sides of the texture for it to render properly. If you have, for example, the light level set to 128 then you can just make a small 1 pixel wide sector on the other side and set the lighting to 127 in it.

>>8095593
What the actual fuck.
But thanks, it works now as intended.

>>8093041
are those PBR for vanilla textures?
WHere do I get those (The ones on the forums are like 25% complete at best)

>>8095597
Doom uses batch drawing of matching flats (floors and ceilings). No matter how sectors combine to form them, the textures fill the screen areas in nice straight line. Changing light level creates multiple non-matching flats, and the engine is forced to draw the floor/ceiling correctly over the part of the wall texture that is supposed to be hidden.

Or something like that.

>>8095597
>What the actual fuck.
These kinds of very specific and obscure issues are stuff that everyone has to encounter on their own and bash their head at. You'll see plenty more.

>>8095638
Actually, not to draw over, but to stop drawing the transparent texture at proper point because of forced “something else” occluding it at the top/bottom.

been playing warspasm for the first time, almost done with map 3. aside from enemies spawning behind you and then hunting you, it has been fun. i have to say the architecture lends itself better to bringing out the fail in the mighty spawn. they're just as likely to bounce away from you and get stuck somewhere. and their reaction time is as slow as always.

Is there a reason why in Crispy and DSDA there is still music even if I set the volume to 0?
It's really quiet, but still there.

>>8095819
Are you using an external midi player?

>>8095825
For Crispy I have set an ogg music pack, but DSDA is just like it was out of the box.

>>8095819
Taking a wild guess without even looking at the code: zero was changed to almost zero some time ago to prevent some undesired behavior on some system resulting in some internal or external part of MIDI subsystem getting uninitialized at zero, or maybe simply to prevent restart of the music on volume slider change.

If you're on Windows, check if there is a dedicated application mixer channel for midi player process, and what can you do with it.

>>8095479
>MAP05 guy, how do you think about forced pistol start? Project lead cool with it?

No. Avoid making death exits.

>>8095875
You buzzkill :(
Welp, a regular boring exit it is, then.

>>8095875
>>8095902
What about death exit on the normal path, along with proper exit in one of the secrets.
