TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

Nightdive interviews

Powerslave supposedly coming along very fast. Out Soon™

>>8281552
Also Kaiser pondering making a level Editor

He previously made one for the Turok release (make Turok maps)

>>8281534
The Temporal Tantrum megawad gets posted here with a new update every few months. All the mappers for that made maps for 2408 units and three of the four made maps for Ad Mortem. The idea that these threads don't have regular contributors is just wrong.

>>8281579
>The idea that these threads don't have regular contributors is just wrong.
But nobody claimed that.

>>8281579
There was also HFFM in between, a lot of people from 2048 and ad mortem did maps for that, just most them did so anonymously

Huh very quiet DOOM THREAD, well anons, how are you doing on this early devilish day?

>>8281634
Waiting for Ad Mortem release

>>8281634
Figuring out subweapons and some other weapon mechanics. I always design myself into a corner and I'm trying to avoid that this time.

>>8281634
Just chilling after a nice snack. I'm gonna be a lazy asshole all day, with some breaks to make progress in Sunlust.

>>8281634
Splendid, my ass is ready for Ad Mortem. I'm feeling this will be a good release. Can't wait for future /vr/ projects

Corruption Cards is really the absolute best mod for Doom ever. It's like Doom + 1, it doesn't take away the original gameplay and creates new challenges and it's even compatible with other mods. I can't play Megawads without it anymore. Why the fuck did it never get a Cacoward?

>>8281667
Earthquake is the funniest effect you can get.

>>8281667
>Why the fuck did it never get a Cacoward?
Same reason Hideous Destructor never got one:
Because.

>>8281682
Ah I see, there was not enough Doomworld circlejerking, as usual with anything on that shithole of a website.

Seeing anons talk about how Blizzard copied Joe Mad and i'm reminded of Strife's artwork
Specially the dialouge portraits, they look like they were mimicking 90's comics
Even if some look clunky

>>8281667
>>8281682
You know what, let's set up a strawpoll, run it throughout December and then hand out our own awards. It'll be fun, and no matter how bad we half-ass it they'll still carry more weight than the cacos.

>>8281697
We've had the golden boners in the past.

>>8281667
Do they even give them to gameplay mods, ever?

>>8281703
there's an entire category dedicated to them.

>>8281703
Yes. Where've you been for the past 10 years?

>>8281703
i remember when term said in intermission that they really liked high noon drifter but took a while to get to other mods

>>8281698
No wonder we couldn't get them back up. Gold is very soft.

>>8281717
alright listen here you little shit.

>>8281703
I learned about Lt. Typhon because of cacowards

>>8281717

The Cacowards is what makes me thing the Doom mod/wad scene could grew a bit more so there's other award shows and make the community feel less closed and focused on certain people
But it seems older fans don't even want to introduce newcomers to the vast world of Doom modding, so the latter is stuck with Doot and Isabelle memes, without even touching Brutal Doom

>>8281667
It really is great.

Even Knee Deep in the Dead becomes fun, challenging and fresh again with a few cards shaking things up.

It's been literal years since I fiddled with... whatever this is.

>>8281758
what are those sprites, anon?

>>8281760
Not sprites, for starters.

>>8281761
Oh fuck, I remember this.

>>8281761
oh no

>>8268667
Two errors in the UMAPINFO:
>MAP12 leads back to MAP11
>MAP31 leads to MAP09 when it should go to MAP08

Also, is the intertext just a placeholder? The WAD's not gonna be on Doomworld longer than a day if not.

>>8281764
Yeah you do.
Oh wow, this filename. Looks like I made this model in 2018.

>>8281765
That's the kind of enthusiasm I like to see!

Where do i find frens to play quake 3 arena?

>>8281768
>Also, is the intertext just a placeholder?

Of course it is. Since I asked twice if someone could do some intertexts for me but nobody wanted, big time.

For those who playtested the wad, I'm gonna ask which map could be the best for Map01? yeah, I think map04 is really big to be the first level.

>>8281758
>>8281761
>coomer making sure his wetdreams don't become memes
I know it's old but it's still refreshing to see compared to all the coomer whinging .

>>8281795
There's an anon who drops a pasta with server info every once in a while. I didn't save it cause I'm done with Q3 but you can look it up in the archive.

>>8281802
Do you still want to make it a strict progression wad? If so only Tricks'n'Treats is easier than Imps in the Walls.
If not, I think Pumpkin Delight could make a nice first map, or even Catacombover.

>>8281817
Not anymore, it doesn't even matter since I just got 2 ''normal'' maps.

>>8281287
>https://fps.fandom.com/wiki/Quake_II_Campaign_Maps
Quake 2 campaign credits:
>Timmy responsible for a ton of levels, as expected
>American McGee responsible for the biggest dip with unit 2 (ammo depot, warehouse) but is also responsible for unit 5 (factory with the processing plant)
He's responsible for my least favorite parts of the game and some of my favorites, nice. It reminds me of Sandy and Quake's Elder World.
>palace is made by Jennell Jaquays who I've never heard of, apparently used to be a guy, and married that dude who won a Space Invaders championship - who is also an old lady now
...I wasn't expecting that.

>>8281807
I aim to please and displease simultaneously

>>8281780
release it anon
do it

>>8281817
I wouldn''t make it Tricks n Treats with the reception it got. It should start strong.

>>8281835
That gun model looks familiar.

Fixed the missing texture and added a glow effect to the switch in the blue room. Also a couple of small lighting changes.

>Text 1
All Hallows Eve... the night of restless spirits. The UAC should have known better than to mess with the occult on a night like this. Some bastards never learn, you mutter to yourself as you load another shell and get ready to send more of the dead back to their graves.

>Final Text
An eerie silence falls. Is that it? Is it over? Do the dead finally rest again? In the distance, you hear a voice in a strange language. Is that Sumerian? Suddenly you can hear the scrabbling of fingernails on coffin lids six feet underground. Oh shit, here we go again...

Confession: I first played (and beat) Doom on an iPod Touch in 2010
Reading Carmack's development updates on it was quite fascinating though, it was basically his pet project and one of the last things he worked on for id before he left

>>8281802
How long has it been again? Spattered with burning brimstone and demon guts, your only certainty was that dawn would finally come to break the curse of evil.
But this one night the darkness falls only ever deeper.
And as the demon bell tolls the secret hour, the barrier of life and death is quaked at its seams with St. Lucifer's dark intervention. Drawn towards the evil presence, your only way from here is down. Down into the crypts, down into fear...

Version 5 of Map15 (or whatever slot I will have in the full release)
Name: Shadow over Silverspring
Author: Bartekmil
Playtime: 15-20 minutes
new MIDI: "Cascade" by AD_79 from the Raven MIDI Pack - this was a bit of a painful change as I really like castlevania soundtracks, but I understand if people thought of the previous one as repetitive. Still looking for alternatives if this one doesn't stick either
Wad file name: MAP15_vrspooky_v5.wad
Changelog:
>new midi
>some more ammo and health changes
>fixed boners poking out of ground in the street encounter
>some cosmetic fixes
>tweaked some of the parallel dimension sections
Also this has probably already been fixed but skellingtons now always do the bone shatter animation when dying in v2 beta

Where's the new word cloud?

>>8281802
So it's friday and I have a few more minutes to spare... How about this?

Text 1:
It's Halloween and you ate too much candy. Overdosed on sugar, chocolate and candy, you tumble towards your bed, hoping to finally fall into a dreamless sleep. You forgot, however, that too much candy before bed can lead to nightmares....

Text 2:
After the first shock and slapping yourself a few times just to convince yourself you are not in a dream, you realize - this really ISN'T a dream, after all. All the ghouls, ghosts and monsters are real. So far you have survived by sheer luck, did you? But if this is, indeed, a very realistic dream, then it must end eventually... right?

Text 3:
Is it over? Have you dreamt the dream? Or have you indeed managed to fight the Prince of Darkness, to slay his satanic battalions and prevent a (delightfully) devilish destruction of humanity? You sigh, because any way, it's over now. You open your eyes, looking at the ceiling and feel nothing but relief. Eager to welcome this new day, you open the curtains and gaze at the red sky.

>>8281216
Or unity or ue4 or whatever. Those things aren't that hard to implement. It's a little more time, but even a choice of male/female with maybe 3 skins each would be nice. but if your character has dialogue is compounds pretty rapidly.

And yeah, it definitely makes a lot more sense if your game has mp.

Heads up, Friday Night Firefight might not be happening tonight. The TSPG website is bugged and you can only host servers for Zandronum alpha at the moment, so you can't connect with the stable Zandronum version that we've been using.

>>8282241
>Those things aren't that hard to implement
Not at all, it's just kind of a complete waste of time if you're never going to see the character sprite or model.
>Or unity or ue4 or whatever
If editing game files in both of those engines is as piss-easy as it is for Doom and Quake you'll just be able to change whatever you want, however you want. No problem.

>>8281842
Yeah, that's a good way to get people to not play the rest of the WAD

What engine should I be using

>>8282463
DSDA-Doom or Woof.

>>8282463
Woof

>>8282463
Something MBF21 compatible, like DSDA Doom, From Doom With Love, or Woof.

>>8282463
What GZD version are you using? If you *insist* on using GZD, you'll need at least version 4.7, though it will still be rather buggy.
Otherwise, what
>>8282492
>>8282493
>>8282501
say

I asked this last thread and got no replies but I was wondering if anybody here played RAMP and if so what were the best maps from it?

>>8281758
hey! I remember you!
keep going
this is an order

>>8268716
Project lead, I whipped this up quickly
https://files.catbox.moe/ezsnp6.wad
I know you said no texture requests but this is pretty harmless, could be used for Norwich Lane and for Pumpkination

>>8282663
>could be used for Norwich Lane
Which I'm all for btw. Bartekmil has just replaced the ZZWOLF textures so it's pretty easy to include

If'n anyone is curious to hear Carmack talk about the metaverse shit, and whatever else he feels like rambling about.
https://youtu.be/BnSUk0je6oo?t=73
Time stamped to start when he starts talking.

>>8282248
UPDATE: TSPG is now requiring users to use Zandronum beta builds and no longer supports Zandronum 3.0. I don't have all the details but basically for our games from now on we'll need the latest Zandronum beta to play.
For now go to https://zandronum.com/downloads/testing/3.1/ and download ZandroDev3.1-211026-1439windows.zip or the equivalent version for your OS. We may or may not be playing later tonight.

>>8282782
Will do!

>>8282663
Neat. Put a Pumpkin Fuhrer on MAP31 too. Probably don't need more than one.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/04fp49ihwta65qp/Pumpkination_v2%252Bfurher.wad/file

>>8282782
Lets hope that this means that someday, there will be a fully stable build of Zandronum that goes past 3.0 in version number. *crosses fingers* Please, may this also happen with the Eternity Engine.

>>8282808
>>8282782
Hideous Destructor working with Zandronum when?

>>8282808
i just tested it and there are literally no new features whatsoever, not even any kind of scaling options

>>8282536
It was an old version of GZDoom, I tried the latest version it was barely functional. DSDA Doom didn't work for me. Woof Doom works.

Speaking of complaining about decline in activity, and spooky maps. I have finally found motivation to continue mapping for Hell Frontier and finished MAP18 that was in backburner for months. There are things I'd like an opinion on, particularly the bathroom fight and the big bloody maze. I also just now realized I forgot difficulty levels, but I won't be adding them today, so only UV is available.
https://www.doomworld.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=152275
Archive also contains previous released MAP12 for good measure. You are welcome to try it too.

Format Doom, tested in PrBoom+ complevel 2.

Half of that statement is true.

>>8268716
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX BOOKSHL3 IT'S TOO NARROW FOR SOFTWARE RENDERING

>>8282782
Also a note for convenience: Doomseeker will automatically download the latest Zandronum testing build if you go to Configure (F5) -> Games -> Zandronum and enable testing releases, just set a folder to install it in and Doomseeker will download it for you.

>>8283020
>trenchbrooming
Where can I get started?

>>8283020
>>8283029
I also want to know. Seems like a fun modeling tool.

>>8283032
>modeling
Those are brushes.

>>8283029
https://trenchbroom.github.io/
There's also an easy to find tutorial series on YouTube.
>>8283032
>modeling tool
It's a map editor for Quake engine games, though you can export to OBJ if you really want to.

>>8283042
>There's also an easy to find tutorial series on YouTube.
Just "Trenchbroom tutorial" I assume? Groovy.

>>8283041
>>8283042
It is brushes. But I still view blocking out levels as comfier modeling.

Blind UV demos & some feedback for ALL the halloween maps: 7a3fv7R9u8/vrspooky-demos_7z
(add anonfiles dot com to get the link, spam filter is complaining)

All were recorded with standalone versions of the maps (look at the demo filename to see which version) and v7 of the resource wad except map04 and map08, which were recorded with resource v6. Map numbers are the ones originally claimed/posted, not the ones in the beta.

To emulate saving/loading I would start a new recording from a point reached in a previous run (and saved as a keyframe) so use DSDA-Doom with the -skipsec parameter when provided to skip the duplicate footage. Binding gamespeed up/down/reset keys also recommended for the wandering around looking for secrets and such.

I played in ascending order of map slots except 31 after 15 and 06, 29, 30 and 32 after the rest because they were released later.

The included textfiles contain some immediate thoughts after each run, overall impressions and occasional suggestions or bug reports.

Here's also a pack that contains all the respective wad versions just in case they've gotten lost or something: r605vcR7u5/vrspooky-wads_7z

Short list of serious bugs still unfixed in latest versions:
- MAP10 softlock if shootable switches are shot too quickly before the previous one has finished raising the floor
- MAP29 softlock in secret soulsphere closet
- MAP30 icon of sin can be killed early with BFG tracers
- MAP32 has missing textures everywhere in dsda-doom, possibly only tested in gzdoom

>>8283101
BTW, I do realize that posting the demos/feedback as early as possible (the earliest demos are weeks old) could've been much more helpful for tuning the maps in time than playing all of them first and posting now. Sorry about that, but I couldn't help it, I wanted to be able to dump all of it at once to get it over with and not leave the rest hanging in case more delays and distractions come up. For a long time I kept thinking "I can finish by today or tomorrow", but other priorities kept getting in the way, and I didn't want to force myself to play if not feeling like it so each map could get a chance to be experienced as it normally would, so it took much longer.

>>8283020
Bro, where's your SIGIL poster?

>>8283101
>MAP29 softlock in secret soulsphere closet

Not sure what could break, and I'm not too familiar with potential issues in my limited experience. It's on a timer with some voodoo using a lowering sector.

Rushing to see if I can finish V3 of MAP14 before the day is over.

MAP06 version 1.2
Map Name: Beneath Bloodstone
Author: Wolpertinger
Playtime: 4-6 Minutes
MIDI: Nine Inch Nails - Down in it

>>8283101 's demo made me realize I had a duplicate secret, fixed now. Old image because fug it.

Imps in the walls, my god what an amazing map, I really liked how map progression with the underground altar and settlement and the automap references the Lovecraft story. Good traps and encounters all around
The only thing that was a mixed bag for me were the encounters in which an enemy teleported right behind you - most of the time it worked well to prevent cheesing rooms - but sometimes it was unfairly killing you

>>8283203
Where it belongs.

>>8283275
That's a good one

Is REKKR a big meme?

I tried it and its so fucking boring.

Then again I also thought amid evil was meh, even if it has an interesting aesthetic.

>>8283286
Just sounds like you want guns in your shooters, unless you liked Heretic for some reason.

>>8283290
Actually no, but I do want more melee ones and a couple of fun ranged ones.

I am serious rekkr looks and plays very safe. It would be cool like 20 years ago.

>>8283305
>I am serious
I don't doubt you not enjoying it, but I've played it and thoroughly like it so I know it's not bad. If you're expecting some "GZDoom magic" Rekkr is certainly not that, but it's great if you're a fan of and still enjoy classic Doom and similarly styled games.

FRIDAY NIGHT FIREFIGHT TIME, BITCHES! Tonight we're not hosting on TSPG thanks to one generous anon, so you can keep using Zandronum 3.0 for this session. We're fragging in FreeDM.

No, I will stay on GZDOOM v3.5.0, and keep on using Zandronum 3.0 as well as Crispy Doom, Maybe also get Eternity Engine later on. Also, Hi, Zdoom moderator.

>>8283250
Thank you very much anon, glad you liked it. You are also apparently the first one to discover the automap messages lol
What encounters are you specifically referring to?

>>8283305
You do realize it was made with DOS Doom compatibility in mind, right?
Not much you can do with those limitations.

>>8283101
Not sure what happened but your demo desynced for me like seven minutes in. Seemed to be when you were hit by a gargoyle which would imply some discrepancy with the Dehacked file but it did so every time regardless of whether I used resources V7, resources V6, or resources V6 + the standalone Dehacked file. Anyone have a clue how I can get the demo to sync properly?

>>8283426
>DOS Doom compatibility

No I did not. I guess it makes sense. Even so its a bit bland.

>>8283430
>Even so its a bit bland.
Good level design, good enemy design, good weapon design, good visuals overall, fun music, it's all great but still not for everyone because again: Classic Doom-styled gameplay.
Also I knew this was going to be shaped the moment I first laid eyes on it, beautiful.

MAP06 version 1.2 (Fixes a duplicate untaggable secret)

>>8283414
This one for example, right before the garden arena, its a nice way of stopping the player from hanging on to the door and forcing them in, as long as its not a monster that will rip through you too quickly

>>8282908
He's trying his best.
He's actually going to take a speed penalty when picking barrels up, and whoever I get to voice him I'm gonna make sure have extra lines of him straining to hold the thing up. Because that's funny.

>>8283429
That was for MAP22.
Tried watching for MAP27 and I think it's also desyncing, unless your demos for it are supposed to be you running around in circles and never beating the first part of the map, which I doubt. I really want to watch these. Is there something obviously wrong with my setup?

>>8283467
Use pic related for BOOKSHL3, it's been broken since the start of this project.

>>8283213

Oh, and I'm making some assumptions here on what you mean by "soulsphere" and "closet'. For clarification and what I think you're referring to: is it the interior little yard with the megasphere you can see?

I've just tried testing several times in a row, and the sector drops fine each time. Unless I'm also assuming what softlock means in this context. Is it something to do with demo playback?

I've been posting progress on that Immoral Conduct thing on and off for years, it's just that 2048, TT, and Ad Mortem takes up a lot of time for me, but it's been time well worth it. Also, being only able to use one eye at a time, I'm pretty sure means fatigue sets in faster, and then being unable to even see past one foot, that shit makes it harder to do work as well.

I still noodle away at things inbetween (and got a lot of tweaks and playtesting done thanks to HFFM's hard gameplay). Development never stopped, and I in fact have a lot of shit that I want to implement after I've done some more work for TT. One day there'll be a presentable beta.
I think for some people, it was the same, I'm certain that some people have their personal projects, but then decided it would be fun to contribute to recent /vr/ projects, so their personal one was shifted to the side for a while.

>>8283563
>Also, being only able to use one eye at a time, I'm pretty sure means fatigue sets in faster, and then being unable to even see past one foot, that shit makes it harder to do work as well.
Damn, anon, how did you end up like this?

>>8283429
>>8283505
Dunno. The one in your pic works for me with:
dsda-doom -iwad DOOM2.WAD -file vrspooky-wads/vr-spooktober.wad vrspooky-wads/MAP27_vrspookyV3.wad -playdemo vrspooky-demos/map27_vrspooky_v3_demo11_skipsec_1335.lmp -skipsec 1335
directly from the commandline. It goes directly almost to the end as it should. dsda-doom v0.21.3. Also works with/without -complevel 21 added, but I don't think it has any effect when watching demos anyway. Did you try the wads in the second link? Maybe they're different somehow.

>>8283537
Soulsphere/supercharge. The one that drops down when you press the purple torch, if you go in there and let it go back up you're stuck.

>>8283627
Oh. I'm a dumbass. Sorry. Should be fixed now.

--Also went back to check and removed an additional potential softlock after anon mentioned the last one. Hopefully, it's fixed.

Do you Halloween doomers have any good promo shots? I think I saw a title graphic a few threads back, but idk if that was WIP or if a name was even decided on at that point.

>>8283595
Retinal detachment, it's something that happens if you're either really fucking old, or if you're very nearsighted (because the edges of the lenses in your eyes get very thin).
If you ever notice odd artifacts in your vision which weren't there before, go to the fucking hospital, because it will not go away by itself, and it WILL get worse, including going completely blind.


It's kind of difficult to describe the visual, at least to me, because it's fixed on your eye and you can't shift your glance to look at it, also unlike examples I could find on Google, mine wasn't a huge black spot along with a bunch of tiny black ones, it was more like, a "void" where my vision "ended," almost more gray than anything, with the area around the spot just kind of flowing into it, creating a difficult to perceive "event horizon." Like a black hole of sight. Like seeing into the nothingness.
I tried to draw on that previous screenshot in photoshop, to replicate how it was for my left eye, but nothing really came out right, because it wasn't something I could actually SEE, it was as said, like a black hole that the surrounding field of vision just disappeared into, except static. I don't know if making it translucent conveys the idea any better.

First in May, it was just a bit below the center of the vision of my left eye, then a couple of months back, it was to the upper left corner of my right eye. Since you get even more nearsighted from the surgery done to fix this, that means my old specs are no longer in spec for these eyes. I'm finally getting new ones in a week, just a temporary so I can use my left eye to see further than one foot.

delet pls

I loved what you anons did for HFFM, and damn did those maps live up to the name. I had a blast last week playing through them normally, and then getting the cleaned up version (aka the no custom sprites and hud) to play through it again w/ trailblazer + legion of bones. Can't wait for this Halloween Project tomorrow. What upcoming projects do you anons are planning for the future?

>>8284054
I think an expansion episode for HFFM would be fun to do in the future, to fill out the rest of the map slots with a second "episode".
But not for a while.

>>8284054
Well we want to do a Plutonia-style project called "94 Protons of /vr/" at some point, but a lot of the Doom projects have been spur of the moment, HFFM included.

>>8283627
It works! Thanks anon

i finally understand hexen's level design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYBATyILJD8

>>8284054
Dr. Fuckhead (I think) wanted to do something like a small expansion episode to HFFM sometime, he said there was a little more juice to squeeze out of it. There was also the long discussed 94 Protons Of /vr/, which sounds like it could be good, though I think something we oughta do for that is to first all agree to replay Plutonia so we have it fresh in our minds, before we start that project, just so we're all on the same page.

Hey, so for Ad Mortem, has everyone picked a music track for their map? Because I'd hate if someone left the default music track for the level slot as a placeholder.
I have a bunch of .midis and I can go scrounge up some which might fit if you guys want.

>>8284135
I just realized given the review of my Ad Mortem map, at least one anon is probably going to be expecting something from me whenever we do 94 Protons.
I'll do my best not to disappoint.

>>8284156
Feel that? it's pressure. Pressure from 10s of thousands of anon's eyes peering at you from the void.

happy spoops /vr/o

New Ducino analysis video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1PJ6e8m7vI

>>8284156
I think that 94 Protons will be a reasonably easy project, because one of the key qualities of the original Plutonia is that the levels are actually not that big or long, they're brief but intense.

I also think that, if not as a hard rule, contributors should maybe be advised that staying within 2048x2048 units of playable area would probably make it easier to make a level that fits, but that anyone is free to make their level larger if they think they have a good idea for that.

>>8284163

>>8284169
>but that anyone is free to make their level larger
Except on MAP29, because not only will I be expecting an enormous sprawling city for MAP29, I will be requiring it.

>>8284173
What if MAP29 is that city plan map collab idea we had?

>>8284054
>>8284065
>>8284067
We could also do A /vr/y Merry Christmas, starting when Ad Mortem gets released and finishing with a Christmas Eve release.

Use MBF21 again, put ice physics in your map, and lots of winter textures.

Does anyone have that video of Romero raging at Quake? It was pretty recent - it was on YouTube but it got taken down.

>>8284143
>I have a bunch of .midis and I can go scrounge up some which might fit if you guys want.
Do you have a proper short midi for the title screen?

>>8283467
Here's yet another update for maps 28 and 30
https://files.catbox.moe/lp49ag.zip

>>8283101
Special thanks to this anon who recorded demos and feedback which were very useful for some last minute changes.

For 28: removed a satyr from the start, you can pretty much rely on infighting now if you hate punching them and it goes by faster. Removed some chaingunners from the start so it's less bullshit, previously my strategy was to kill half the chaingunners as soon as their released so they don't spill everywhere and to force infighting a bit since they're all lined up, but killing so many before the satyrs arrive I think was too extreme, Originally I was gonna have like 50% more... Replaced a soulsphere with some medkits since it was apparently unneeded. Removed one king boner from the boner house and fixed a potential cheese I'm glad I noticed. Added more satyrs to the archie room and moved them forward to (try) to prevent camping. The idea was that the pinkies and satyrs would surround you if you held still, but apparently it wasn't enough. I personally couldn't beat this room by holding still and that's even more true now, but it still may be possible. I decided not to alter the plasmagun secret since I honestly don't know how to make it more obvious without butchering it. You can seriously see it from the very start of the map but it requires some unintuitive switch hitting.
For 30: Monsters from the icon no longer spawn in ambush mode and Mr Romero can no longer be killed with the bfg. Feel stupid for not noticing these ones. The cyberdemon area also has had it's platform made bigger so it's easier to jump out from the back and more trigger lines have been placed around to account for parkour. Several enemy triggers have also been moved back to prevent the player from blowing themselves up.

>>8283904
>Honesty time anon, how many have cocks,

I think it's probably more fun for more people if they're left to interpret that for themselves.

>how many are smoking?

Zero, and that's probably why this thing has languished on my hard drive in an experimental state for nearly 4 years. I'd like to come up with something releasable, even if it's just one decently polished map.

>>8283286
Thanks for giving it a try anon.

idk if it's a good idea but we could have some sort of chart showing the wads we've cleared and in which manner. Basically our version from the touhou 1cc charts
Unfortunately, I'm just a regular doomer and I do not know by heart which WADs are worthy for the default chart.
Some WADs that come to my head are:
>Doom
>Doom II
>Plutonia
>TNT
>BTSX
>Scythe 2
>Sunlust
There are some I've cleared that I suppose are popular enough to be inserted in the default chart:
>Eviternity
>Going Down
>BTSX2
For the chart itself, one axis could be the levels and the other the various modes that we often play like UV-max, nightmare, any% (what am I missing?)
>why
to keep progress of your achievements and bragging rights

I can do the chart if you want me to. Pic related is an example of some 1cc chart I grabbed in a thread to show as an example

there's a bunch of missing textures in MAP32. even with the resources doesn't fix anything. tested in Woof btw

>>8284345
Weren't there some other errors specific to Woof? How does it look in DSDA?

>>8284354
As the guy who cleaned up the map, it worked fine when I tested it in DSDA, but other anons here said it had missing textures too. Did the resources get changed or something?

>>8284358
Wait a minute, I think I know what's happening. The author used texture patches instead of actual textures

>>8284358
it looks like shit in DSDA as well, did he used an older version of the resources or something?

>>8284362
pic related

Does someone have a HD image/art of an Arch-vile? the in-game rips are too pixelated and fan art is cringe

>>8284362
Possibly, but I used the V7 wad to do clean up. A look in the map editor shows it uses a texture called O2V+35_0. Looking into AdMortemBeta_V2.wad, this is present as a graphic, but not in the TEXTURE1 lump.

>>8284370
That texture is O36_1S_0, which is also present in the beta wad, but not in the TEXTURE1 lump. Looks like the O-prefixed textures were removed from the TEXTURE1 lump somehow and that's what's causing our problems.

>>8284379
Meant to reply to >>8284365
But yeah, looks like we found our solution.
>>8283467
Did you get the items wad btw?

>>8284386
>Did you get the items wad btw?
Yeah, I added some of them.

So what's gonna happen to map32.

>>8284401
Are you the project lead? I think to fix the HOMS, all you need to do is add the O-prefixed textures to TEXTURE1, which is an easy two click job in slade.

Any hideous destructor players in here? I'm looking for the custom loadout code for the .355 revolver ammo

>>8284418
it's 355
you can check all the loadout codes (including those for loaded mods) by pressing ctrl-f in the loadout editor

>>8284407
>all you need to do is add the O-prefixed textures to TEXTURE1
Sorry but I don't have time for that right now.

>>8284430
...do you want me to?

>>8284430
Well don't release the WAD until someone else does it then. It's a big deal to have one map be completely broken.

>>8284436
Gimme the missing textures names and I'll add them in the texture file.

>Your map I wrote the most words about, including a bunch of suggested fixes, if you still have any time to work on it.
Ah well shit, I didn't have time yesterday to watch any demos, so I didn't download that file and thus also missed the feedback stuff. I will look into it today, but it seems I'm too late to submit fixes anymore.

>>8284919
>>8284718
Right, I now read the feedback and watched the demos. Thanks for the very detailed suggestions.

I wasn't even aware you could continue on that ledge behind the teleporter (and I though I had made it slim enough to prevent people from walking on it). I made it even slimmer and as you suggested put the teleporter closer to the edge to prevent walkarounds.

There's two bloody messes in the crusher room, I figured those were enough warning. Also, I actually did change the inner door line according some earlier feedback from a regular (slow) door to a generalized fast door so you could gtfo there if the door had closed on you. Are generalized doors not being openable while closing? I mean, that's really not on me. As for the furniture - the couch is 32u wide, so you *could* survive by jumping on it and that would be weirder, so I reckoned having textures bleed doesn't matter a lot when you're dying anyway.

> In a later slot the gameplay would probably be just fine.
Well, it was supposed to be the fourth map, which is also why I was a bit stingy with ammo since I expected people to already have a veritable loadout by the time they reach it.

1/2

>>8284958
>>8284718
Frankly, I still don't understand how automap secret lines actually work and at that point I have given up. Only the sector is marked as secret, all linedefs are marked as one-sided, what else can I do?

>death exit issues
Heh, I think you are the first person to ever do what you have done But it IS supposed to be a death exit. The idea is - and that's why the chainsaw is placed there - that you chainsaw the voodoo doll. In the moment of its death you are pulled over the exit line

The automap text obviously refers to the cat in the story this map is based on. If soft cunts complain, I can remove it. Although so far nobody but you seems to have found it anyway.

Floor break was scrapped, it would be some work to set it up, not because of the voodoo scripting, but because of layout and sector tags and all that. I won't do that.

As for the Cyberdemon - there is a 1 in 3 chance you spawn on the first try, it's a secret, it's only there on UV and some people have complained the map is too easy. Also, nobody prevents you from saving. It's the one intentionally unfair thing I put in there.

2/2

>>8283467
I am terribly sorry, ashes on my head, shamefur dispray, but if lead allows it I would like to submit one last fix. I really didn't have the time yesterday (and missed the feedback).

>literally the only doomlike with a polearm is Witchaven
>and it sucks
Sad!

>>8285010
Polearms are overpowered bullshit. If you were going to put one in a doom-like game, it'd be pretty much the only weapon you need.

>>8285010
Yeah it's weird how polearms are not popular in games despite being insanely popular weapons irl, off topic but like a year ago I was looking for a spear + shield mod for Skyrim and even with the massive audience that game has there was only one mod for it, which was shit
Instead you have axes everywhere for some reason

>>8285014
>Polearms are overpowered bullshit
Not him, but how so? Don't you need to carefully keep the enemy at range, and thus are constantly backpedaling?

>>8285016
The only game I know that has polearms is Morrowind, and that game crashes on me after 5 minutes, I barely had time meeting Caius Cosades before it had an unavoidable crash.

>>8285018
As someone who does nerdy SCA shit often. I can safely say if you're some peckerhead with a sword and shield, the 6 guys with 9-foot long stabbing sticks around going to make your life a living hell.

And fighting a single dude that has a 5-6 foot stabbing stick is also hellacious because they can and will stab you in the throat, stomach, or balls if they get the chance. So it's a game of keeping the business end away from you while you close the gap. God help you if they decide to swing it too because that's a lot of leverage.

and yeah the spearman is gonna be backpedaling constantly, but he's also going to be actively trying to stab you.

>>8285021
And you can't use shield with a spear in Morrowind to my knowledge. This is really weird to me because when I think of ancient weaponry like that, the first things that came to my mind are Vikings or Roman soldiers and both of those used spears very heavily. Pretty much every Roman Soldier pic you're going to see will have spear+ shield, and Elder Scrolls even has their own Romans in Imperials yet they're nowhere in games at all

>>8285032
To be fair, some polearms can be pretty heavy. A spear and shield would work if it's a small spear, but if it's anything like a glaive or a pike, you'll need both hands.

>>8285036
Is there a doom mod with that?

>>8285038
Not that I know of. Even Arthurian Legends, who has a lot of choice on melee weapons, doesn't have any polearm.

>>8283467
Backlink to the MAP31 with Hitler in it.
>>8282806
Use it if you also intend to use pumpkin fuhrer replacements from this post:
>>8282663

>>8285046
You could consider the two handed sword reach and power a halberd in Arthurian, and mod one. At the end of the day most games never used cool polearms cause they associate swords more with fantasy.

You see Aragorn had a cool reforged sword not a spear.

The roman legions after the republic outflanked and outclassed heavy moving spear formations with a short sword. The ultimate flex in my opinion and kinda works since riot cops are still suing roman tactics.

I guess spears would be a little complicated to program i guess? It depends really. Then again with the success of souls games we might see more spears.

>>8285064
>You see Aragorn had a cool reforged sword not a spear.
Yeah, but I can forgive in that case because the sword was Isildur's personal property, and it was his side weapon after Sauron broke it, so it's more symbolic than practical. It's like using a fork to stab the Horned King of Eternal Hatred and Darkness in the heart, the fork is more than a fork.
Plus the movie gave Gil-Galad a spear, so it's okay.
But yeah, fantasy is usually sword. One-handed or bastard sword.

>with the success of souls games we might see more spears
I can only hope, but in my experience playing Salt and Sanctuary, Dark Devotion, the Surge and Lord of the Fallen, devs don't understand why Dark Souls work, and they only copy the difficulty aspect without studying the level design, the exploration, or the absolutely insane amount of weapons you can wield.

>>8284958
>Only the sector is marked as secret, all linedefs are marked as one-sided, what else can I do?

>The automap text obviously refers to the cat in the story this map is based on.
Well, I haven't actually read that story, just heard something about the eccentric name, so I don't know the full context. Some people don't even know that. It's not something hidden either, it's there to see for anyone who looks at the map and zooms in a bit. I'm just worried some asshole with moderator powers on DW or something takes the worst possible interpretation and deletes the entire wad. HFFM went through enough trouble with that. But HFFM was also different: for it the name was integral to the project and the reason it was born to begin with and thus a hill much more worth dying on.

Of course most devs dont understand Souls games, they are usually made by people that dont have the historical knowledge pedigree.

You can see From soft devs ( in can also see this occasionally on some western stuff, but rarely, mostly on autismo D&D session or Riddle of Steel ) understand melee weapons just of course gamifying them.
It does not need to be ultra realistic, after all the zweihander handles ridiculous but its the the thought that counts. You can still feel like a lowly human fighting a minotaur and using the spears reach to out range it.

The insane amount of weapons comes from igavanias as well, and the gameplay elements were there as well, spears also were for long reach. Although if you look at From soft FPS games you also had more swords than and little to no spears.

I think FPS design makes spears and halberds difficult to use. It would mostly be a stabbing motion, although a halberd works as a swing.


I am honestly surprised by Elderborne recently it does the Dark Messiah combat well and manages to implement a cool design for spears and other weapons.

>>8285079
>Well, I haven't actually read that story
Read it, it's excellent. You can also watch Sandy's video on it, where he's talking just about the cat's name for like ten minutes. Americans are really hilarious sometimes.
As I said, most people don't even seem to look at the automap and if anyone complains, it can still be removed

>>8285081
Elderborne, huh? I'll have to check it out.
But yeah, I do like that, at least in the first Souls games, spears are meant to be easy to use but with low damage, with something like "little risk, little gains", and with other polearms hitting a lot harder, but sometimes with different moveset or penalizing you for missing with long recovery animation, but that model wouldn't work in a FPS fashion.
To that regard, both King's Field and Dread Delusion rely heavily on wind-up time to make some weapons harder to use. You might object that Mordhau and Chivalry are similar, so I guess wind-up is the key to a successful melee system in a first-person game, through I'm annoyed there's no combo system or that the games are usually so limited.
In most games, spears are pretty limited, you only need to tank or dodge the point, and then you can close the distance and kill the spearman, but it's ignoring that the point of the spear is still attached to a pretty hard wood stick.

Anyway, I'm getting off-topic, so I'll stop here. Elderborne, huh...

>>8284960

Alright thanks, here it is
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dr4j7ny8y6uoqny/MAP04_vrspooky_v7.wad?dl=0

I only changed some encounters and things as per the other anon's suggestions.
The cave secret remains as it is, as putting another sector there fucks with the mechanism. It is what it is.

>>8285094
Its a indie dark messiah but its pretty okay. The spear acts as quick reach low damage but parry high damage potential.

>>8285103
Nice. I've been hyped for Dread Devotion since I saw it on Youtube, and Arthurian Legends, while having fun melee, is a bit frustrating because it's closer to a linear FPS. And engine-wise, it's odd.
I'll check it out.

You wrote 'NIGGER' on the automap? Are you fucking retarded? We barely skated by HFFM controversy.

>>8285106

>>8285110

>>8285110
Oh, it's just Lovecraft's cat, then.

>>8285110
I don't know about you, but I never check the automap unless I'm lost. Certainly not to look for hidden messages on the offchance they're there.

Cut it, or project lead - if you're reading this - please cut it. It's fucking retarded to put in an easter egg that adds nothing to the map behind getting everyone involved banned off DW under their new guilt by association mod policy. So well done, if that's your objective, but it's a shitty move to hide this in your map.

>>8285110
I was the first person to do so. I was on the lookout for softlocks, not instances of Nigger sectors.

>>8285120
>guilt by association
That's retarded.

Yeah, it is, but that's reality, and even if it wasn't their policy I wouldn't want to be associated with hidden nigger automap bullshit. This isn't HFFM where it's a core part of the mod and the context makes it work. This adds no value.

>>8285120
Yeah, I agree.
author or project lead should remove that shit. it's fucking stupid.

But why was it there at all? What reaction were you hoping to get? And would it have killed you to have been upfront about it, e.g. hey anons, I'm putting in a message that will get the wad banned off DW and the idgames archive, anyone got a problem with that?

>>8285151
Nice carrack sword.

>>8285151
>hidden
Anon, if you open the map at any point between the yellow corridor and the altar crypta, you will see it. That is not hidden.
But frankly, I seem to have overestimated the frequency people use the automap with.

>>8285154
>But why was it there at all?
Because I felt like it. Because I remembered that Lovecraft meme and because here it fit perfectly, even in the *context*.

Now stop whining, I removed it. Jeez.

Dumbest shit I’ve read on here in awhile, great job anon, goddamn.

>>8285147
>>8285163
Sorry you had to remove the kino reference mate, knowing how the whole map is based on that hpl story I didn't really consider it offensive
All you pussies complaining better look around all the other submissions for offensive material cause we don't have much time before release, so now or never.
And before anyone protests against inclusion of the Pumpkinhead portrait - its pretty tame and works kinda like the Rebel army symbol from Metal Slug - its a fun way to censor a swastika so both parties should be happy

The most insulting thing about the halloween debacle is how stupid you idiots think we are. I was reading your bullshit plans for months, of course I let the other mods know about your silly little plans. You'd be perfectly okay with a halloween homage wad if it wasn't so clearly obvious that was just a thin veil for memeing around the n-word. That's how it started, so that's how it ends, don't bother underestimating everyone else's intelligence.

Also have fun releasing your n-word teasing quake project on black history month, I bet that's going to be a) coincidence, b) perfectly respectable homage to MLKjr as well. Just get rid of the slurs, you fucking morons.

I agree with the other guy, Hard Fast Faggot Maps as a title was core to the project, but just scribbling nigger on your level in the automap is retarded, do that on your own release, I want people to play my maps.

>>8285163
>it's just the HELP ME NIGGERMAN meme
>but it's not even a funny twist on it, just a single word replacement
Goddamnit anon, it would have been funnier and more original if you had just crudely scribbled the word NIGGER alone in big jagged letters out on the side of the automap, this is a dogshit easteregg.

>>8285295
>I want people to play my maps.
Then why are you putting them in a /vr/ mapset? Historically, only /vr/ users will ever play them. And Tarnsman will give it a pity stream.

This. Don't release maps here if you want anyone else to play them.

Personally I'm gonna give it a rest but I want you to know... It's not that you wrote nigger on the automap, it's that when it was brought up (and you knew it would be eventually) you immediately adopted a "FUCK YOU, you guys are PUSSIES, this isn't even MY fault, YOU should have found it earlier" attitude that's deserving of some shortlived ire.

>>8285230

>>8285398
Okay okay anon, whatever, do I have to scrape of "HFFM" off my map too?

>>8285391
They can be fun. It's more how imbalanced Doom is with continuous play, the Quakes and build shooters were much better about knowing what order their maps were going to be in.

>>8285391
Duke 3D levels, yes, although I suspect there might be at least one "mandatory secret" if you are pistol-starting. Like I think that level where duke says "I ain't afraid of no Quake," has a secret cache at the start and is unbalanced without it

Blood might be balanced with pitchfork starts on normal difficulties, I'd have to try it to say definitively. I can definitively say that Blood is not balanced for pitchfork starts on its higher difficulties. Just try E1M2 pitchfork start on Well Done for example

>>8285393

>>8285410
Why would you have to remove a reference to Hard Fast "Fun" Maps?

I see no reason to even make a big deal out of it, honestly, just move the imps to spell "nibba" or whatever the fuck for the idgames release and call it a day

browsing 4chins and 4chins related projects and expecting to not find "nigger" somewhere is like dirking coffee and expecting it to be decaff by default

well great job

>>8285252
Its awesome anon, could use triple a money for more areas and bosses. But everything fucking works.

The fantasy style is interesting and heavy metal, the story ridiculous like heavy metal, the combat is solid, the weapons challenges are hard but very doable.

It flows well. The end area is the best for me.

>>8285469
Possibly responding to bait, but why would you assume that as the motivation instead of just wanting to provide people with wads they might enjoy? Especially given many of the contributors stay anonymous, how would that even work for them? Are you sure you're not projecting something?

>>8285560
Can you just explain why bending over for Doomworld is so important to you? There are countless sites that host wads without special conditions or precedents for nuking content over retroactive rule changes.

>>8285595
Idgames isn't run by Doomworld. It's the largest wad hosting repository and personally I would like my work to end up there.

is there any enemy mod for doom that brings both quake 1 and 2 enemies, including expansions?

>>8285607
Doomworld had influence on Idgames policy since Halderman's death and content was nuked from there before.

>>8285504
I do like the Conan aspect. And also, I like that the game actually doesn't stop at the Catacomb, and has more than one weapon per slot.
I want to return to the catacombs and explore everything there.

>>8285649
Its not much Conan as it is more weirdo sword and sorcery, but I get what you mean.

>>8285595
At least for me, it's still the best place to effectively find new Doom content to play because it's usually presented well to be able to quickly decide whether something is worth downloading or not. Above all the ability to hover over thread titles to see the first post and quickly scroll to screenshots. Incidentally that's pretty much the only feature of their new forum software that I like.

>>8285653
I mean the character. He starts with a crappy, dusty but reliable big sword, and whatever he gets his hands on, he can kill with it.

>>8285595
>bending over for Doomworld
It's about stuff like 2048 and HFFM being visible on YouTube, DSDA, and Twitch, on top of keeping it available on iDGames, the big and famous repository for .wad files.

We're not highly visible, and I'm not looking for the most attention with my works, but there's also no need to make our works shunned. I don't all love the wider community, especially not these days, but I think it's stupid to do something like this and put some retarded 'mark' on our work, preventing it from being judged on its actual merits. There's some who won't give 2048 or Ad Mortem the time of day simply because it's from 4chan, fine, whatever, fuck those trannies, but writing NIGGER in the automap will guarantee that quite a lot fewer people will play it.

I also think that it's a really lazy easter egg, it's just the typical meme line, but without a creative spin on it. Had it been Quake, maybe you could have written HELP ME SHUB-NIGGURATH, or maybe you could do something flavorful and esoteric like I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED BY A PACK OF WILD BONERS

in something like doom you can have hordes of enemies that make the range advantage not a big deal. kind of a moot point anyway since the standard here is rifles and shotguns anyway which obviously have much more stopping power than any halberd

>>8279219
This post is old, but I simply must reply.

Did you PLAY the extra levels to 2048 Units Of /vr/? Not every single level in the main set was a prize winner, admittedly, but I'm glad as FUCK that we rejected the levels that we did. Any one of them inserted at any point would really have killed the pace of the levelset, they are not fun maps.
With some revisioning I think that two of them could have been fixed, but that wasn't done and the resulting maps are what they are.

2048 was messy but the end result was mostly competent.

Too bad its too short.
