/vr/ HALLOWEEN PROJECT ANCHOR POST, SEE NEWS POST FOR DETAILS

>>8222207
Well this is a wealth of knowledge. I'll definitely take a crack at some Serious Sam mapping then.

>>8222986
Current one is 4.7, mine was 3.something.

>>8222981
Oh a Doom project. How new and unique

>>8222996
Oh a faggot. How new and unique.

>>8222995
Yeah Combined_Arms would have worked with that older version. My mods are all Zandronum compatible so you can get away with some really old and busted versions of GZDoom.
Is your class select menu fucked up, by the way?

What does Caco taste like?

>>8222981
So I originally claimed MAP05, but was told I should do MAP31 instead. Which I will try.
Considering pumpkinheads are fast and deadly evil marines, I figure the map should have a small number of monsters.
Is there a MAP32 that needs a secret exit?
Would it be possible to give evil marines tag 666-like effect?

>>8222916
Okay, we *seem* to be in business now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYmRQxdiXec

>>8223032
>Would it be possible to give evil marines tag 666-like effect?
It is very much possible. IIRC all you need to do is add BossDeath or KeenDeath codepointer during its death sequence (done in dehacked). I'm sure they will oblige you. PunchJewsInTheFaceMan has accommodated all my requests so far
>Is there a MAP32 that needs a secret exit?
Someone has claimed it. Check the info post.

Finally finished TNT today. Took me like half a year. What a piece of shit.

Bros...TNT is so shit... I don't know how much longer I can go on. I'm at Mt. Pain, at least it will soon be over.
What the fuck is up with Habitat? Looking up a random wad on idgames can probably net you a better time.

>>8223059
>>8223060
You don't have to samefag to say TNT sucks.

>>8223063
It is uncanny how I posted exactly 1 minute after the first guy. TNT is cursed beyond measure, holy shit.

>>8223063
TNT (thunder nuclear turd)

how's nightdive quake? worth it at all over the sourceports?

Surprised nobody made a meme like
>Doom fans when the media covers Brutal McPopularMod instead of Scrimblo Waderino, the slaughter megawad they played 12 years ago

>>8223078

What do you think I'm doing?

>>8223091
way too long. Music is good though

>>8223097
oh no, VR anon is streaming Violent Rumble submissions, tho

>>8223097
server ded again

>>8223097
One more time from the top: 104.128.49.2:10744

>>8223097
How the fuck do I play this shit?

>>8223183
Download Zandronum. Open Doomseeker and search for "Sunday"

>>8223003
No, seem fine. Through I can't take screens from it.

>>8223097
Fuck this. Once more, and we'll try my shitty mod: 104.128.49.2:10744

>>8223189
That was easier than I expected.

>>8223196
Okay good, I get a lot of reports from people saying the screen is broken and that's due to a feature in newer GZDoom that has to be disabled.
Fucking engine

>>8223218
So how does one find your mod because I don't have it

>>8223228
Doomseeker did all the work for me. I think the server crashed again though.

>>8223097
Fucking Christ. My mod didn't work and it still doesn't, let's just play this shit. Fuck. 104.128.49.2:10744

>>8223225
Well, the portrait at the bottom is a bit cut, but I see all the weapons.

>>8223003
>My mods are all Zandronum compatible
Can we use them in deathmatch?

Haha!

>>8223249
Yeah, that's a problem, you can fix it by checking options, full options or use the search and search for "Disable clean menu scaling" That'll fix the portraits.

>>8223264
Sadly no. I made a lot of projectiles and hitscans pass through players for co-op play, to make it DM compat you'd have to go back and remove all of those flags from nearly every attack

>>8223298
Managed to take a screen by running it in windowed.
See, it's fine.

>>8223325
That's not how it should be, anon. Modern GZDoom breaks that screen.

>>8223328
How so?

>>8223330
I ain't sure exactly, but it's that clean menu scaling thing, this is how it's supposed to look

>>8223350
Blastmaster is my favourite.

>>8223350
WAIT A MINUTE
what is that last weapon at the bottom?
Actually, what version is that? Is mine outdated?

>>8223350
Why is audio still disallowed on webms outside of /wsg/ and /gif/?
I mean, so long as you're under the 3mb limit what's it matter?

>>8223361
The bottom weapons are that class's berserk, you're not outta date or anything

>>8223367
Nah, I am. I literally just checked, I'm 1.3, you're 1.4.

I swear, if it invalidates my save, I'll be pissed.

>>8223370
I can't recall if I fucked around with the ACS from 1.3 to 1.4. You won't be missing anything major if you hold off updating though

>>8223372
That's a relief, I'm trying to play Combined Arms and "joi_lstcv15", who is a pretty big megawad with giant maps and TOO MANY HITSCAN ENEMIES

>>8223097
Man I don't know what the fuck happened on my end but now I can't connect at all.

>>8223350
Make all the weapons hit switches pls. blastmaster’s alt fires in all levels can not trigger them. I think this is true for the other sets as well like the sword beams can trigger them but not the sword themselves

>>8223470
Any projectile firing weapon should shoot out extra hitscans to trigger switches, for past linked try just doing a normal stab instead of slashing with the sword, or throw the boomerang.

I'll need to add that switch flicking puff to the altfires for the blastmaster, though at the time I didn't consider it a problem seeing as the ice beam is hitscan, as is the shotgun and machine gun.

Was browsing some old Dragon Magazines and stumbled upon a D!Zone review.

>>8223492

>>8223498

>>8223482
It’s fine but can you do it with the gmota cast as well? It’s annoying to do it with Lord Blaz with an mapset that it using it exclusively like AUGER;ZENITH so pressing zoom on what is in font of you is tiring.

>>8223503

>>8223508
Done.

>>8223507
The Blazter shoots out a big spray of switch flicking hitscans actually.

According to Romero, today is Doom 2 birthday.

Will there ever be an attempt at modernizing the software renderer in PrBoom+? I really prefer the lighting in it but the Y-Shearing and lack of FOV settings kinda suck.

>>8223513
Kay, switching to other weapons is still annoying but whatever.

>>8223529
Use opengl mode.

>>8223540
it looks like shit

Whelp I'm doing Hexen on GZdoom, any tips besides be prepared to backtrack entire levels for one switch?

is ther a way to lower the fonts? can't see shit

tried void as a warmup, very novel wad for the time, platforming and traps are obnoxious as everyone says but reasonable to cope with quicksaving
fuck the last boss though, map just starts spawning those floating hexen enemies on top of the boss spawning his own, and those fucking instant platforms just constantly fuck with your aim and keeping track of enemies, the fireballs are just icing on the cake since they're unreasonably fucking loud, last too long, he can spam them, and they get stuck in the lava so you can have a half dozen instances of bugged bouncing noises drilling you a migrane
iddqd and look at the pretty design/10

>>8223702
You can get rid of the text on the sides by going to Options -> HUD Options and turning off "draw coop info". To make the text smaller go to Message Options on that same screen and mess with the text scaling.

taking notes. here's my own demo of v1 on hard (progs from 10-05): https://mega.nz/file/BWAkFBrC#N-2DfLxHCo9t4xJWRLyz51OTxZWW4nPqBLkiaLSuDCA
(use host_timescale to fastforward)

I'll see if shootable glass would look right, but I might just clip more stuff off and remove one ogre instead. the accidental secret wasn't originally intended, but I left it in as a pity mega for getting hit with a grenade.
early secret with light behind a vent grate - you had the right idea, the damage trigger just doesn't extend far enough. will fix.
I'll extend the silver key platforming timers a bit, maybe add some Sandy arrows (below hard? you did figure it out in the end).
gotta place a non-secret yellow armor early on, you managed to miss all of them (and forgot the red one above GK).
will probably remove the spinning fan decoration in the flooded vents, seemed like a moth to flame situation. didn't expect that place to be unintuitive.
last arena is intended to be balls-hard, but I could switch timed reinforcements to kill-based. I've also un-cramped it a little, but that makes NM vores tougher than they currently are. placed a bit more health also.
there's a degenerate tactic to the finale: hug-the-wall pacifist, just wait for infighting to resolve.
also fixed a couple stuck enemies. any other critical things?

a request: if you're patching progs at some point, make shambler's melee attack sound play in auto channel (currently the custom 'boinnng' gets cut off)

>spend 3 hours trying to map a little wall safe in Doom, trying to proof it from wall-bump exploits
>just turn it into a walk-in closet because it's too hard to prevent.

>>8223853

I remember this wad that had your only gun bring a giant penis that you spray cum out if to shoot enemies, the reload animation was a hand jacking the dick accompanied by a "boioioooing" sound as you got hard and sprayed more cum.

I'm pretty sure that's just my diary.

New version of Under Construction, accounting for the difficulties VR Anon had during his stream:
-a bit more health
-a bit more ammo
-obvious missing textures fixed

>>8224382
I'm willing to playtest maps and record demos like I did for the Halloween maps. How do I go about doing that?

>Have powerups in my mod that last until the level is over
>Can't think of anything cool to add
What sort of powerups would you guys like to see? So far, I've got immunity to your own rockets, a speed boost, flight and immunity to lava.

>>8224507
Conditionally reflecting enemy attacks (maybe with melee or something), unlimited/half expended ammo (or if you have reloading, the powerup does away with it and you fire straight from the pool)
Also, shidwads? :DDD

>>8224507
Conditionally reflecting enemy attacks (maybe with melee or something), unlimited/half expended ammo (or if you have reloading, the powerup does away with it and you fire straight from the pool)

>>8224528
Both of these sound great. Maybe the first one could allow you to perform a parry or some shit? Or you just hold down right click and reflect things like a shield?

>>8222973
Best music pack/mod for doom?

>>8224549
http://sc55.duke4.net/games.php#doom

>>8224507
GUTS powerup: taking a normally fatal hit will stop at 1 HP, giving one extra hit, though this won't help much against chaingunners, could always give the player a brief period of invuln and then a cooldown before it protects again

if you got a chainsaw
PAINSAW: The saw now forces enemies to flinch, which means you'll always win in a one on one fight using the chainsaw on targets

REUSABLE ROCKETS: rockets that hit walls spawn as an ammo unit so you can pick them up again, or maybe just give them a chance to turn back into ammo when hitting anything in general

>>8224507
protoss shields

>>8224615
Sounds great, Anon. I really love the GUTS powerup. I just hope I can make it work in GZDoom.
>tfw zscriptlet

>>8224625
Anon, I pulled off a GUTS powerup in Zandronum compatible shit using a bit of ACS and giving the player Buddha mode. You can do the same.

>>8224627
Probably what I will do is run a Zscript check on the player's pain state which sees if their health is at 1 and removes the powerup from their inventory if so. I think powerups in GZDoom also allow you to apply actor flags to the powerup's owner, so that's where you could get the Buddha from.

>>8223078
>found based weapon

God I want to light rusty bucket bay but I'm just fucking shit at lighting

>>8222981
I'm starting with MAP31 proof of concept. Let's see if it would be fun to fight several pumpkin marine squads.

Still struggling with textures.

There you go, I took the archviles to the lava. Can I leave that fucking level now?

>>8224827
If you're playing Spooktober, you're supposed to take them all the way back to spawn. Fuck that map by the way.

>>8223965
Those sound like good changes, but keep in mind that I'm kinda retarded and I was playing on nightmare.
>will probably remove the spinning fan decoration in the flooded vents, seemed like a moth to flame situation. didn't expect that place to be unintuitive.
I think putting a light in the vent you're meant to go into that is noticeable swimming from the vertical one would be sufficient. I just couldn't see it until I started firing my shotgun. My gamma and contrast are set to 1, though it could just be my monitor.
>if you're patching progs at some point, make shambler's melee attack sound play in auto channel
Sure, no problem.
Great map overall, btw.
>>8224382
Based. I'll give it a go first thing when I get streaming.
BTW, did I break anything with that ramp jump I did from the wall with two big holes in it? I noticed all the enemies were facing the other way...
>>8224485
Pretty straightforward: https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Demo_Recording

>>8224829
Just did. And then it spawned a super cyberdemon. And then it crashed.
Fuck that map.

>>8224729
have you made any changes since the initial upload? I can send you a draft that you can then tweak.
actually, I have a draft, I'm just not touching interiors and entities (bridges n shit) yet in case you've changed them: https://mega.nz/file/sKo0mSrL#T_-HAxue8-d5iXzKsXrhGVxM-hBsluXSC-eHwVEJjk0
you'll need to put the included wad with your other ones. I've cut the compile time by 80% by replacing that XXXX fence. bsp2 isn't needed now either. full vis still takes forever though, but that's Q1 in open spaces for you.
gotta go right now though, won't reply for a couple hours.

>>8224879
Fuck you Lord Haw-Haw.

Is spechits overflow still a thing in Boom?

>>8224485
the wiki doesn't mention that the recording will stop any time the "server" stops. you can die-restart and keep the demo going, but loading a save stops the demo and you'll have to start recording to a new file (like this: "disconnect; record demo2; load quick").
you don't have to worry about compat flags. there are a couple of demo protocols, but they don't really matter in the practical sense.

Holy shit that's not good for you, especially if this is your first time through it. This is on top of the fatigue the iwad has already put you through.

>>8225230
HD has locational damage

tnt isn't even worth playing

>>8225246
I'm sure now it's fine, can't imagine it was easy when carmack was just first inventing the z-axis

I like some of the levels and a lot of the songs but I think TNT holds up the worst compared to the original iwads, it and Doom 2 have a lot of weird moments.

>>8223573
Doing plutonia now, thanks anon.

>>8225245
It's very close to being actual hell. Immersive! My only salvation is IDMUS14.
>>8225249
Honestly? Yeah.

>>8225256
No worry, I was just taking the piss

>>8225258
doom 2 at least has the excuse that they handed sandy 90% of the levels and said
>we got like 5 months till we ship good luck lol
and they still mostly came out great if you ignore downtown and the chasm

Doom 2 gets a pass for a nearly perfect roster, it's not a halfbad introduction of them. But I still wouldn't blame someone wanting to quit 2 and TNT midway through just to boot up Plutonia.

I love TNT, Icarus and even Eternal Doom 3. Can't take the 90s out of me. Played all them as a kid. Too much nostalgia.

>>8224831
No, the enemies just sit there because I didn’t bother accounting for what you did. Considering the difficulty, I’ll just leave it in as a bonus way of tackling that area

Right, so I made a proof-of-concept of the rising lava tower Map30 idea.
Please note that this is ONLY for the general mechanism, the textures are stock textures I just put there to have something. There are no decorations or monsters whatsoever, this is solely for giving you an idea how the rising lava gimmick is supposed to work and how the Icon could be set up here.
Right now the whole thing takes around five minutes until it has reached peak level.
From the top of the platform you drop down to kill the beating heart.

The way I imagine it is that on each level you fight some hordes, progressively getting harder. E.g. on the bottom level it's just a bunch of zombiemen or Imps, then it's Chaingunners, Hell Knights, and so on.
Maybe there could be Cacos being spawned/introduced at certain intervals, or Archies/Arachs/Mancs that are placed on pillars (or even some monsters spawners) to harrass the player further.
For the final map it should be some right carnage.

Previously I was doing recursive portal traversal and clipping. This room has a ton of portals and sectors so it bogged down the algorithm quite badly.

I changed the map definition to contain, for each sector, a list of all potentially visible walls (sorted in occlusion order).

Its several frames per second faster now.
But yeah there's a cool drawing visualization as well.

does the new rekkr change anything from vanilla rekkre?

>>8225693
Yeah I've been working on it on and off for a couple years now

>>8224840
I was actually working on lighting it myself but I appreciate the effort going in to lighting my level for me anon. If I wasnt such a lazy ass I'd have done it already.
the problem, and its a really dumb nitpicky problem, is the fact that the game rusty bucket bay comes from is very cheery and bright with very little in the way of dark shadows or areas. So I just compiled it unlit since that seemed easier than trying to hit the right balance of making actual shadows without making them too dark. I know its a quake map, and people expect some darkness, it just triggers my game autism in a special way
the speedtech wad is cool though, I'll use it in the future. I knew that the fence I made had to be inefficient as fuck but I was just enjoying the process of making it, made it detail and then forgot about it.

I'm kidding, congrats on the release.

>>8225954
what port can this be played with?

>>8225957
It should be, just not tested with anything under chocolate doom. Change file extension to .wad

>>8225958
Whoops. I dunno, like most of them.

>>8225971
Rad, I'll toss it onto my Pentium MMX ultraportable later tonight and try it out.

>>8225932
unintuitive as it may seem, fullbright mode is actually darker than a lightmap (due to overbright).
anyway, you can make the shadows brighter by raising _sunlight2 and _bouncescale, and you can lighten the mood by picking warmer sun/fog colors
>interiors and entities are also going to remain unchanged.
kinda getting mixed signals here. if you've already started lighting stuff I won't get in your way. but this reads like a go-ahead. give a definite yes/no.

>>8225983
Let me know if it's horribly broken. I don't have original hardware to test on, so that'd be helpful. Still needs doom.wad. Nice PC btw.

>>8225926
Old Sega was too good for this world.

>>8226003
I had tried to start lighting it myself, but desu your work looks better than mine and I assume most people would prefer your lighting. If you want to continue doing it I'd appreciate it. It just feels like kind of a bitch move on my part to have someone else do it for me.

Okay, so just to be clear: Nobody likes the idea and I should scrap this map, right? Because I wouldn't want to have nobody feeling responsible now that someone talked about it and in the end we don't have any Map30.

>>8228282
>nobody plays the map
>anon spergs out, decides to give up, but wants to hold somebody else responsible for abandoning the idea he never fleshed out

>>8228307
Anon, you use that word "sperging out", but I don't think you know what it means.
Have you even read the original post? Maybe you should take a break from imageboards since you seem to be so damaged that a simple question is already "sperging out" for you.
I am merely asking: Is there any kind of interest in this gimmick, yes or no? If yes, I will continue working on that map (although I would need someone to rig the fights because I am probably too much of a scrub to survive), if no, I will scrap it, because I really don't feel like rushing out a map in a few days just for everyone to complain. Maybe you want to make Map30, then?

Phoneposter here, I've been getting some problems on delta touch (a mobile doom source port).
I'm used to playing exclusively from freedoom (another mobile source port, not the iwad), problem is, it doesn't support newer versions of gzdoom. So I installed deltatouch to fix this problem and gave it a try, and moved all the wads and mods I had in freedoom to there. While trying to boot up the iwads I had, delta touch asked for the license of each of them. Is there any way to bypass this except buying doom on steam to transfer over to my phone? Thanks in advance.

>>8228328

>>8228167

>>8228334

Map30 is the sinking onion tower, right?
Idea seemed fun, but I know jackshit about Doom and I worry that using a wad that messes with your DPS would have the player disadvantaged by the sinking rings.

>>8228678
I almost exclusively play shooters, and I spend a lot of time with Q3, so I'm biased. If you are interested in the fastest, yet smoothest FPS and like the reward of overcoming a challenging, I'd say definitely. The q3retro is very comfy, and the better players will teach you tips to improve. Player skill in the community is all over the map. You will see a few names that clean up every time they're around, but that doesn't mean everyone there will be a 20 year vet creaming you. The FFA server has callvote options for Instagib if that's your thing. Recently they've added an "AllWeapons" mode you can vote on that allows players to start with all weapons, extra health, and armor. Damage stats are tweaked in this mode, but it's pretty fun. Hope to cya around.

>>8228712
Oh, I already played the FUCK out of Quake 3 and a few mods (Bid for Power), but I'm confused as to why you suggest Quake 3 and not Team Arena.

Finally fixed 200p/240p 16:9.

>>8228725
The community isn't there as far as I've seen. To be honest, Quake Live has the best population and player skill for games in the Quake 3 sphere, but we have a comfy vanilla community going, so I figured I'd let people know. I'm not an admin or anything, just a player who wants to grow it.

>>8228736

Just started playing Quake 1 via Quakespasm. I noticed that when I'm standing still on any sloped/inclined surface (like the ramps in the button sequence on e1m1), I slowly slide in the direction of that surface, instead of standing still. Is that the vanilla behavior?

>>8228794
Yep. It's the reason most people build staircases instead.

>>8228725
this q3retro admin has been shilling his desd server for weeks after he helped kill off the last remaining population on CROM FFA. Q3 community was amazing until early this year.

>>8228801
I'm not Edge, but why are you so mad? Did you get banned for being racist? All of the CROM players are now on Q3. If the entire player base is there, how is it dead but CROM wasn't lmao

>>8228763
I assume you used vanilla essences approach?

>>8228687
Yeah, was supposed to be that one, though I think you will have a bad time with any weapon mods anyway, since afaik voodoo scripting doesn't necessarily work as intended on GZD because conveyor belt run at different speeds.
Then again, mappers can't account for any and all weapon mods, plus we get a bunch of badass new sprites for the guns.

>>8228836
Not sure how vanilla essence handles it. I simply included some new aspect ratio code to handle 426x200 (properly stretched to 426x240). Due to it being 1.75:1 instead of 16:9, it was defaulting to 4:3 and then stretching to 16:9. The old 240p implementation technically worked, but it lead to the uneven pixels where all the text looked like it was melting.

>>8225863
I like the boobs cheat!

>>8223562
now THIS is a cyber-manc

>>8228687
>and I worry that using a wad that messes with your DPS would have the player disadvantaged by the sinking rings
What, you mean like gameplay mods? Like, that's the consequence you accept by playing Doom with mods, sometimes there's things which will not work entirely as intended because of the changes that are made.

>>8228843
>since afaik voodoo scripting doesn't necessarily work as intended on GZD because conveyor belt run at different speeds
It seems to usually work ok for me whenever I test maps in either GZD or PRB. It's more mods which actually change the physical properties of the player where it gets wonky, though there's a fix for that.

>>8228845
Ah, you know I had a bunch of resolution options made, but scrapped them for some reason. Don't remember why. That was definitely one of them...

>>8228852
Shhh, it's super secret.
That's so the anon who wanted boobs will play.

>>8222981
Hey bros, I found a source of really good MIDIs for the Halloween project.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/114080-raven-midi-pack-project-complete/

>>8222910
I didn't mention this earlier, but the MIDI on that map gets old very fast. I didn't say anything before because I didn't have a recommendation. I mean, I have a MIDI in mind, but I wanted to save it for myself... but it looks like I won't be finishing my map, so I will donate my MIDI to you. The MIDI is Contrast, by Zach Siegel:
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/119443-zach-siegel-midi-pack-not-my-midis-i-just-want-to-share-them/
It's OK. I didn't claim a map slot. I was working on a map just in case I there was a slot needing to be filled. If you don't like that MIDI, maybe E3M5 from the Heretic MIDI project I linked above. I'm listening to the MIDI pack now looking for possible MIDIs

>>8228282
I'm doubt we will have 30 maps, so I dunno if it's wise to design a map specifically for slot 30

I was talking to peeps some weeks ago here about how I really would want a retro style fps done in the style of Ion Fury / Build Engine shooter but in the vein of Half Life Opposing Force / SoF military spec ops duders and I feel like a game like that is probably in the works in the game called AWOL. And to lesser extent project Odin. But the latter has some issues with it's hud and enemy death animations etc while I think AWOL seems to grip that style pretty well right now.

Oh, and been playing through some Shadow Warrior, been liking it's cheekiness quite a lot even if some aspects of controlling the game isn't feeling that fluid even compared to Duke Nukem or especially Blood.

I am trying to understand the mentality of people who don't play Doom for completionism. How someone can load up a random level, do it, and move on. Yet somehow the community somehow can handle the fact that many levels in both the vanilla game and in famous PWADs just are literally impossible to 100% complete.

Doom has a blatant stat screen. Finish a level and you get an extremely audible series of gunshots that tally up percentages of what you have done. It is very in your face, I don't really see how someone could ignore it.

The stats screen seems to make it very clear that Doom was designed for completionism in mind, much like Wolf3d with the score counter. So how can you get around hunting for 5 hours for a single armor bonus? How do you get around cases where it might be literally impossible to find everything due to incorrect secret linedefs?

>>8228970
>I am trying to understand
Have you tried not being autistic anymore?

>>8228970
I like UVMaxing stuff but I think you might just be genuinely autistic anon. And that's okay by the way. Just a matter of getting diagnosed and whatnot.

Also may I say that Blood is incredible satisfying? Few unpleasant levels aside, I think Blood's got a movement / shooting system that feels the smoothest out of all the classic build games. Ion Fury of course tops that imo but that's a game made in 2019 even if it is using Build so....

>>8228970
is this a pasta

>>8228965
Thanks for the MIDI suggestions, but I really don't think Contrast fits such a slow map. It would be really well-fitting for a hard, fast map.
As for the other track, I am not sure. I'll have to try it out in the map itself.

>>8229005
Throw the Heretic MIDI project into Winamp or something and listen through it. I think there's a better chance of finding a good MIDI there than in the Zach Siegel pack, although admittedly you might enjoy listening to the latter more. E2M5 was good too

>>8229027
Thanks, I'll check them out later this week

>>8229027
heretic doesn't really have memorable music other than the cathedral, that's the only one I remember at least

>>8229038
That's a custom MIDI project led by James Paddock, like the Plutonia MIDI project

>>8228970
It also has a par time. Do you try to be a completionist, or a speedrunner? Can't do both.
Completionism is optional, as is going for the par time. It's extra content. That's all.
>>8228983
What will they do if he's diagnosed?

>>8229063
>What will they do if he's diagnosed?
It helps to have a medical professional confirm your condition, it is the first step to learning to live with it, informing others, and taking appropriate treatment

>>8222973
Doom makes me want to milk my own prostate.

>>8229064
I'm asking about the treatment. I thought that was pretty obvious but maybe one of us is autistic too.

That's a good point though. Maybe we should see first how many maps actually turn up on thursday.
So if someone is interested in placing the monsters, hit me up.

>>8228969
A mercenary game like jagged alliance made in build would be cool. But I think it would be over too fast.

That said I dont trust more than half of all the line up of 3d realms to be more than vapourware.

>>8229182
It's the difference between having fun making a game, and being dead inside like Ion Fury.

>>8229070

>>8228970
Just do what I do. If you miss anything, blame the author. He's the scumbag who hid shit in places too obscure for any reasonable person to find.

>>8229234
>it would be over too fast
Eh, you could still play around with concepts that aren't 100% realistic like cyborgs and stuff like that, though I feel like AWOL is going for more of a realistic-ish soldier dude approach which is alright.

>>8229235
While I miss the pulp-y vibes of the classic Build trio in Ion Fury, taking shots at the game like that is kinda stupid. Just as the devs should have freedom to go for that vibe if they wish (like Hedon though that's like a whole different style) I also think that if a dev decides to NOT do that they shouldn't get shat on if that doesn't fit their vision. For whatever it's worth I think that Ion Fury does really well in the things that really count.

>>8229230
Oh fuck, we have a deadline on Thursday? Aww shit, awww shit, I've been so occupied with the weapons because I thought I had way more time than that!

moreso when you bear Blood in mind, it’s lacking Duke/SW-tier ladies yet still holds up.

>>8229347
Yeah, beta was supposed to start on the 14th

>>8229351
It has the memory of ophelia and rage and that's enough.

>>8229351
Kind of. I feel like Blood incorporates less carnal, as in sex-carnal themes but some of it is still there and I feel like there's a lot more emphasis on just the blood and death. But to some degree there's some sexual torture vibes with the mutilated half-naked corpses of men and women.

>>8229382
SW anime women aren't there for sexual themes lol they feel more like shitposting

>>8229382
>""""Kind of."""""
We have to throw you several more airquotes. You have to bear in mind you're comparing it to things like Duke3D and how it throws you a stripclub and pornshop in the second level, then floods the game with near-naked Alien references. These themes are infinitely more subdued in Blood.

>>8229305
Mt dream shooter fps of late would be an immersive sim made in an old ass but pretty engine like build say, but in a mission structure like Thief \hitman, kinda like cruelty squad tries to do.

But its 90s G Police, Syndicate psygnosis cyberpunk.


Shoot all the civilians in a dark futuristic disco to get a single target type of game.

>>8229404
Well there's that single white woman syndrome poster in Blood I always thought that pretty funny.

>>8229390
SW is one big grorious shitpost by Lo Wang.
But they still have the sexy ninja ladies etc.

I'm not saying the game's entire identity is defined by just the sexuality though Lo Wang is an old perv that makes all kinds of jokes including sex jokes he raughs at.

I'm a big Ion Furry tho', so I am not saying that "oh, because it doesn't have a lot of sex jokes or tits it's bad"

But yeah idk, Duke Nukum was all about shooting all the alien scum that came to abduct and rape all the earth women (so he could inseminate them himself) and all around kick ass and chew gum, machismo in a can, action movie hero tropes in a big boomin' package.

Shadow Warrior having it's theme be pulpy smosgasboard of all "asia" tropes and jokes that would come to the mind of a 20 something year old that grew up in a culture where you could still have jokes.

Blood tapping into that deliciously grim audiovisual aesthetic and playing on the horror genre in the same way Duke does with action movies and Shadow Warrior with kung fu etc nipsploitation films.

I like Ion Fury a lot! In fact it's one of my recent big favorites. I don't think it's boring but maybe it could've leaned into it's cyberpunk dystopia a bit harder even though IDK, it's doing a pretty good job so far, a bit more references to sci fi films etc I suppose is something they could do in the expansion.

>>8229416
>Mt dream shooter fps of late would be an immersive sim made in an old ass but pretty engine like build say, but in a mission structure like Thief \hitman, kinda like cruelty squad tries to do.
This is funny, because...
>Shoot all the civilians in a dark futuristic disco to get a single target type of game.
There's a level in Cruelty Squad that's just like this.
>>8229421
Fleshed Out has a fairly creative secret with that, if I recall.

>>8229435
I know I played cruelty squad its great, but the meme looks only go so far.

>>8229435
I respect the retro throwback shooter wave but cruelty squad to me just falls under one of those games that makes for a good Gmanlives / Civvie11 video through jump cuts etc but feels like would be actually miserable to play for any actual length of time.

The only area the new voxels don't work for me: He looks less creepy.
>>8229438
The levels, the loadout options, how these impact progression and replayability are solid. Unfortunately, this WON'T be what everyone copies from it and "meme looks" is right - even if I do enjoy the "worlds.com but nightmare" approach he nailed that I expect everyone else to fuck up.

>>8229404

Damn haha yeah, I needed to go and crank it to some asian ladies after that poster, the geisha girl statues (?) that reveal their tits and that girl in the karaoke bar shaking her hips. Solid.

>>8229352
Shit, Map 17 is barely started, so it's not going to be ready for then.

>>8229426
Ion Fury is limp dicked, but I don't blame the devs 100%, its the culture which is poisonous as well.
But I feel the winds at least in the mid tier game dev are changing a bit.


IF references some shit but it seems stuff from devs. Like Twin Peaks or Barbarella.
They could have made the game more cheesy like Huntdown and work wonderfully.

>>8229445
>>8229452

Its not that bad, the immersive sim design is really tight and quite addictive. Because the game ramps up fast once you break it.

I still enjoyed it, but its kinda like cryptworlds. After being done I was done.

>>8229347
but you have time until 29th tho, project lead said thursday is just some wip maps and testing shit

>>8229452
Speaking of Blood, how do people feel about Cultic? I think it's got some solid ideas behind it in terms of style but I don't understand why the dev is basically trying to recreate an uglier Blood.

Oh and Stephan Weyte's voice acting for Caleb is amazing, it's... it's perfectly encapsulating the character in a style similar to Kain from Blood Omen. That biblical line he has about drinking the blood and eating the flesh of the son of man before devouring the heart of his former friend, that was great in both how it fit the game's thematic and the tone, in style and delivery.

In my dreams there'd have been a Build Engine Blood prequel with a "young" Caleb in the Wild West and becoming an undead gunslinger taking on the regular rogues gallery of the wild west with serious "weird west" spices.

>>8229472
29th is release day.
Because, you know, it's a bit shitty to release a wip map two days before Halloween for a Halloween project.
I always wonder what kind of people sign up for such a project if they can't be sure to have the time to make a map within the given deadline or having the ability to make time for making a map.
Have those people never had to submit something in time?

>>8229473
>but I don't understand why the dev is basically trying to recreate an uglier Blood.
Dusk was an uglier Quake and did fine. Makes sense to me.
Either way I've not looked into Cultic much. Shotgun doesn't look appealing, and the dynamite didn't look like it exploded on impact last I saw. Supplice, Perpetia, and that IF expansion are the only "throwbacky" shooterthings I'm looking forward to. I would've said the updated Rekkr as well, but that changed since yesterday (eeeey).

Map15
Map Name: Shadow over Silverspring
Author: Bartekmil
Playtime/par: 12-15 minutes
MIDI: Castlevania Dracula X - Cemetery

A medium difficulty seaside town map inspired by first section of Heretic 2 and Shadow of the Comet
There are two things that the map still needs - a secret exit(map has 0 secrets now, only hints of them, so don't bother looking yet) and a way to fix the garden cloister fence - hopefully I will iron that out by the end of beta and add some secrets - other than that the map is completable. I also tested everything with the texture pack v6 which as far as I know doesn't have the newest dehacked updates. Balance still maybe very fucked so I'll be thankful for patience and feedback

>>8228274
Wow, the lighting looks good enough to me already.
Thanks anon, I'm sorry you even felt like you had to do it when it was my level to begin with, considering you probably had a level of your own to worry about, makes me feel a bit guilty.
Come next time we do a quake map pack here, I need to study up on lighting to really make sure I know what I'm doing so I wont need you next time to make my level actually look pretty.
I'll need to update my readme since its no longer necessary to use bsp2 and I wanna give you credit for the lighting.

>>8229454
>Have literally 2 months to make a map
>Start making the map 2 days before the deadline
LMAO /vr/ never fucking change

>>8229510
Good job anon.
Won't be able to give feedback until tomorrow though, so please bear with me.

>>8229531
I start my projects mere hours before deadlines and there is nothing you can do about it.

>>8229531
i still haven't began working on my master's thesis and defense is in 3 months...

>>8229643
You mean you haven't started ANY work or you haven't started writing the actual thesis?
Because three months just for writing is more than enough. I wrote mine in a week, was enough for graduating.

>>8222981
Am still hopefull I will be able to finish MAP31 in some capacity. Lots of real life going on.
At least as a proof of concept, I will piece together a pumpkin deathmatch, but it will be rough.

>>8229710
i only did literature review and some theoretical stuff, but since it's a STEM degree, the actual part is calculations

>>8229745
>STEM degree, the actual part is calculations
So what are you, CS? Physics? Do you not have access to your uni's computer cluster? For master's it can't be that much calculating either. What does your supervisor say? What kind of institute are you at that nobody seems to care?

>>8229758
look, if i want your advice, i'll ask, okay?

>>8229787
So far I only have asked questions, anon.
I understand you're tense, it's natural in such a situation. But, and this is some actual advice, don't jeopardize your future for a momentary feeling of gratification of relief.

>>8229807
don't remember asking

>>8229495
I hope peripeteia fag makes abetter fucking model for the MC, she looks fucking horrible.

>>8229531
It's a Doom map. I finished my HFFM submission in like 36 hours.

>>8229818
By posting here you are clearly asking for it.
And by replying you are clearly telling me that you need that advice.
Now go AND DO YOUR FUCKING WORK

>>8229890
are you legit autistic? obvious troubles reading the air

>>8229906
>reading the air
Anon, this is an imageboard. You can't "read the air" here. I am under the suspicion it's you who is autistic since you obviously don't notice when someone is taking the piss.
That said, GO OUT AND DO YOUR WORK!

>>8229918
i'll do your mom instead
no offense, just taking the piss :^)

>>8229935
>being so butthurt you resort to "yo momma" jokes in the year of your lord 2021
Oh anon, you should *really* do your work, else you will fail. Do you want to disappoint your parents even more?

I had to attempt a more "true" brutalist-inspired Quake 2-map at some point...

>>8229948
i'm just taking the piss, anon, lol :^)

>>8229949
Screenshotte part deux.

>>8229949
>>8229958
Looks great so far

>>8229729
Lookin forward to it.

>>8229510
Would it have killed you to give me a SSG earlier? I ran out of ammo completely right after getting it, and stopped playing. The beginning is such a grind, expecting you to kill a bunch of big monsters with just the regular shotgun and chaingun.

What are some good Quake 1 coop map packs?

I broke REKKR on Zandronum before release. Whoops.
It's fixed. Update sometime soon. Just don't want to break anyones saves a day after release.

>>8230094
can you fix the hud not scaling to fullscreen

>>8228748
Hey, too many mods for Quake 3 that I loved to move to Quake Live.
I loved that one that adds buildings elements to it, and three different races.

>>8229949
>>8229958
looks cool, anon. i wish there was more content for quake 2, more specifically stuff that is compatible or created for ground zero because of its improved AI. give it cool architecture and high difficulty and i'd download it instantly. my only suggestion is removing crates and filling space with more architecture.

>>8228868
Yeah, I guess.

>>8228843
Sad! I love Combined Arms and Metroid Dreadnought!

>>8230096
Did I not put hudscale options in the graphics adjustment menu? I'll look into it.
Any other (small) suggestions while I'm at it?

>>8230127
>Did I not put hudscale options in the graphics adjustment menu?
you did it just isn't effecting this version of the hud for some reason. the other one works fine.

>>8230143
Oh. Hm. Alright I'll see what's what. Open console and type menu_options in the meantime.

>>8230119
>more specifically stuff that is compatible or created for ground zero because of its improved AI
Also medic commandos, they're fucking amazing and lead to great fights.

>>8230147
ah, I see now. you need to include the status bar as well lol anyway thanks.

>>8230119
I'll just put rocket turrets on all that architecture.

>>8230156
ground zero rounded out the beastiary really well, and some of the fights reach plutonia-levels of fun. its too bad the turrets destroy the pace and the level design is nothing to right home about, especially visually (though the self-destruct setpiece in unit 1 is great). but if those issues were fixed it'd be one of my favorite FPS. i wanna see a resurgence in Q2 custom content, but it wont happen as the base game leaves a bad first impression.

>>8229958
One more shot for the night, showing the updated floor. Everything's still early WIP, though.

>>8230191
It can be harder still to get into if you're coming fresh off of Quake 1, expecting similarly paced gameplay and themes. The "military tech" theme is familiar because of the start of each Q1 episode, but the gameplay is very different and a complete 180 of Q1.
The main campaign and the expansions all feel like they have rough starts that pickup halfway through. The super gladiators in the Reckoning have been the biggest funkill for me so far, at least the turrets have been dying to three explosives.

Meant to do this yesterday, but time for some more map testing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfFlSVuJcqE

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm taking a break from shitwadding for a while. I'm burnt out on it and I've got other things which I need to take care of. I'll be back some time, I promise.

>>8230536
Surprised you went so long without announcing some kind of hiatus, I would've cracked sooner than that dumpster fire of Psychophobia. Do whatever IRL stuff you need to, or whatever that pron game of yours is, I'm sure we'll all come up with suggestions for more garbage in the meantime :^)

>>8230536
I'd feel pretty burnt out too if I had to deal with PsychoPhobia's nonsense. Take care, anon.

>>8229495
>that filing cabinet
This isn't an actual Shadow Warrior map is it?

>>8229510
Demo- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gek4g0ufRGsYHHvhN_ZHEi_K7M0AToK8/view?usp=sharing
The demo's about an hour long, I died a handful of times. Pretty good map. I disagree with the other guy, I like being forced to use the chaingun and single-barreled shotgun, I think that's when the map is at its strongest. Here and in your 2048 level, you show a fondness for these weapons that I think works really well without feeling grindy. I think there's plenty of ammo, I dont know how the other guy ran out. Maybe getting a chainsaw earlier on could help, its of no use by the time you get it. The map looks nice, and plays good when it's good. I liked the archvile fights. The MIDI is overly loud.
My main problem with the map is that damn near every room in the map is set up so that the player doesn't want to go inside it. Pretty much every fight I would have to lure everything out whatever door you're supposed to enter from, and either corner-peek camp doorways, or backtrack while shooting everything if they do get through. Like every single fight. I don't know how you would really fix that here, but it's something I'd advise trying not to repeat in the future. Maybe have more places where you let the player enter, take a look around first, press a switch, and then you can release the ghouls.
In the first archvile fight, I couldnt tell what the switch does that temporarily lowers the bars and I ended up being lost for awhile. I don't think those bars need to go back up, the player doesnt really need to be trapped in there, and its confusing
Pointed out some misaligned textures, mostly in doorways.
Pic related- I think this looks bad. I remember you asking how to make this illusion work but I don't think it really can work when the two buildings are right next to each other. Again, don't know how you would fix it, but I'm gonna point it out.
Hella cheesed the red key fight by abusing noiseblocking lines but I don't know how else you reliably get through that fight.

>>8230776
Ah goddammit, I don't know what happened to that demo, but I think it's fucked. That's annoying.

>>8230535
It was a good stream. I'll be working on the updates for my map as soon as I finish my halloween map. I also found miasma district to be quite confusing.

>>8228678
No, you should reinstall Unreal Tournament instead.

>>8230535
That was a fun stream.
Under Construction felt a lot better with the update.
Clock Tower is extremely solid. The jump from the spiral stairs to the lava nails seems like a bit of a stretch though. Also, something in the ending didn't seem to trigger properly, unless I was just supposed to wait.
Miasma District is pretty great, though confusing. It seemed like one of the shortcut destructible walls detonated prematurely, possibly from a Fiend attempting to attack me from behind it.
Rusty Bucket Bay is... bizzare. I'm not familiar with the source material, but others have said it's a good re-creation. It's an adequate map at least, and the lit version is certainly much better.

>>8229435
Cruelty Squad looks like absolute shit though, I can't stand the visuals.

>>8225863
>this is the gzdoom game that gives me stutter, not Hedon or Supplice
Baffling.

>>8231017
It is. Did you try changing the rendering API or anything? Turn off AA? You didn't hit F12 did you? That's mostly there for a joke.
It doesn't do anything that should cause you issue, that I can think of.

>>8231046
It was VSync, I should have remembered that garbage fucks things up since I've had to turn it off in every other game I've ever played.

>>8231051
Oh fuck. Ofc. I should've thought that first too.

>spend like 2 hours scouring through crispy-doom's source code so I can find out where inputs are processed so I can add a button that restarts the current level
>find where input bindings are set
>already a var named "key_menu_reloadlevel"
>simply didn't scroll far enough down in the settings program to see it
well... lesson learned.
reading the source code for it is very interesting, however. Very well documented.

>>8227228
Mine is nearly done, just a few niggling issues. In retrospect I chose the wrong time in my life to get very ambitious on a strict time frame, but I will get something out.

Also who cares? The DBPs are great and they're not megawads. And with UMAPINFO we can have MAP07 and MAP30 effects on any map, so if someone has made those it will work regardless of how many submissions we get.

>>8227228
Sure as shit is, and it's gonna be good anyway. What we can really learn from these things is to set longer time frames for ourselves, maybe even divide the sets up in distinct phases.

>>8231051
Oh yeah, V-Sync is gonna do it, input lag and all.

>>8231167
You can search in options in gzdoom, crispy doesn't have that?

>>8231249
>>8231263
JUST RIKE HIROSHIMA

>>8231235
No unfortunately. There aren't a lot of options like GZDoom, though.

and then there is this guy...

>>8227735
Not really. There's a lot of people who dislikes HL.

>>8227735

>>8231017
This is not a gzdoom game. It's all vanilla.

And yes, it's much better.

>>8230934
Already have it.

>>8230934
remember all the ut vs q3 fights
good times

>>8231332
>This is not a gzdoom game. It's all vanilla.
Pay attention, the reply chain is talking about the Steam release which comes running on GZDoom.

>>8231307
holy shit, was he in the game?
i dont remember him at all

>>8231342
Still vanilla.

>>8231343
Yeah those enemies are vanilla SW enemies. Or are you talking about that place specially? Idk then

>>8231343

Yes it's the miniboss version of the Serpent; he may not appear in the main game unless playing on the higher difficulties idk but it's all over the expansions

Now that I realized those serpents have not one but two sounds in common with the serpents from Heretic I can't unhear it. It's a curse, like the roaming sounds of Liztroops in Duke being the same as that one enemy in Hexen

>>8231349
that place is from Twin Dragon

>>8231342
Yes, but the wad is still vanilla-compatible as far as I know. Including the new episode.
