TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

I started playing Evilution for the first time out of boredom expecting a painful Plutonia-esque experience I'd immediately quit, but six levels deep, this is better than either of the original two games. Absolutely fantastic design and balance with some creative ideas.

>>8288847
It doesn't last. The first half is fine, though.
>expecting a painful Plutonia-esque experience I'd immediately quit
Quit being a pussy. Challenge yourself; get better at Doom.

>>8288834
Re-asking about Ad Mortem again:
Anyone else not getting any sound on the first shotty?

>>8288867
What port are you playing in?

>>8288872
GZ

>>8288876
MBF21 support is bugged in GZDoom. Use Woof or DSDA.

Admit it, you shitted your pants.

>>8288876
GzDoom doesn't support it yet.

>>8288895
much scarier in hl2 and hl2 beta

>So what's the next doom project niggermans?
I really want to try organizing a "patchwork" mapping project sometime here. I've posted ideas for it here before and a few others seem interested. Will try setting it up later after the halloween project is completely finished.

Look mom I made a tree (As long as you can't see it from the top)

SUNDAY NIGHT SHITSHOW TIME, BITCHES! On this very special Halloween SNS, we're playing through Doom 64: Retribution! Join us for some spooky shitshow action!
Make sure you're on the latest alpha version of Zandronum in order to join. Doomseeker will download it automatically, just set a directory for it to install Zandronum test versions to when prompted.
104.128.49.2:10703
104.128.49.2:10703
104.128.49.2:10703

>>8288924
I must've missed it. What do you mean by a "patchwork" project?

I just finished KDitD with Live Through Doom and I gotta say it's a really nice blend between Hideous Destructor and Project Brutality, with the main problem being it lacks their level of polish, but in all honesty I kinda wish this mod were a survival addon to PB instead of its own separate thing.

Will Tarnsman be back with more streaming?

>>8288962
On Friday yes

>>8288953
He means a repeat of that old Doomworld project where it's one level divided into sections kinda like a checkerboard and everyone claims and submits a section

>>8288895
first time playing yeah, dropping down to that water in that cage actually scared me

Wasn't there supposed to be a magical staff replacing the plasma rifle?

>>8288953
One big map made out of "patchwork" sections all done by different anons. There's a grid of tiles and everyone claims one, designs their map, then it all gets stitched together in the end. To make sure the map is completely connected and actually flows properly there would be two phases of claiming and creating tiles. Every other tile gets skipped checkerboard style in the first phase and once all those tiles are complete the second set of tiles open up for people to claim. The second set must then connect the previously completed tiles together.
How big the grid is and the size of the tiles depends on how many people would be interested to begin with. A head count will need to be taken at some point. More people = larger grid with smaller tiles. Pic related is just a mockup of what the grid could look like.
Center tile would hold the 3 key exit with the keys separated in each corner. I think the three main weapons (rl, ssg, plasma) would also be split up similarly, creating a very non-linear map allowing you to gather the weapons/keys in any order.

>>8288954
Check out Scavver's Paradise if you want survival. It's like a HD that doesn't need a phd to play. Problem i it doesn't have a magazine manager thingy like HD.

>>8288924
It's an interesting idea, and we could probably pull it off right fuckin now seeing how it's just one map.
Any other aspiring project leads?

>>8289094

Hey, would it be too out of place and ridiculous if we reskinned the fist in AD into a katana? Like basically the one from Shadow Warrior but Doomguy hands.

>>8289119
'Cause if there is the most terrifying thing in the world, it's probably the weebs,

>>8289003
kek

>>8289123
If we keep the goofy barbs on the spine of the blade it may be construed as horror to some weebs.

>>8289119
It should probably be like a machete or hatchet or somesuch, but considering catana sprites already exist in SW.

>>8288947
prety sure you can make it work from above, a few platforms in BTSX do that
It's below that's impossible to texture.

>>8289190
More accurately, I can't see it from both above and below at the same time, the top flat bleeds onto the bottom.

>>8288895
I was already cured by shadows of the empire's dianoga

>>8288976
>nigger beta
>happening everywhere
>entire night crashes

>>8289198
IDK how, but BTSX had this worked around

>>8289225
It all works well as long as you don't see the side and the top at the same time. Makes sense for interior bridge, won't work for a tree outside.

In my case, all I'll need is to not have anyone raise above the tree level. Shouldn't be that hard.

not sure why i been obsessed over Doom 32X Resurrection so much. played through on easy the first time since it seems to have a save issue on certain real hardware configurations but for a game that is still missing some content it is a blast to mess around with, really liking the novelty, i even made a sega cd audio disc that works with it since the suggested one seems to be behind a patreon paywall for whatever reason.

>>8289285
Play Doom 32x Delta.
Also how longer until they add Doom II enemies?

I think I finally found a (hacky) way to resupply friendly marines. I'll have to make yet another slot0 weapon, of which there are already 3 in Scavver' Paradise(armor repairer, grenade, ammo manager)
It'll work much like the ammo manager, but instead of droping a magazine, it'll shoot one as a projectile. On hitting a monster it will cause a tiny bit of damage and on hitting a wall will spawn the magazine item so you can pick it back. These magazine projectiles will have their own damagetype.
The friendly marines will take zero damage from this damagetype, but have 256 chance of entering their painstate pain.magazine or whatever, and it's there that I will give them A_GiveInventory("Magazine",1).

Thoughts?

It's gets easier after the first 2 levels.

Perfect Hatred is easily the hardest map in all of Final Doom.

>>8289386

Corruption Cards

Abandon is not only one of the best Doom wads I've ever played, it might be one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Map 5 is such a somber, alien experience with mournful synth tones punctuating the silence between encounters, and the oppressive combat all lit by the radioactive green from the crystals and cave walls. Map 6 has you seemingly entering the structure you found at the end of the previous map, an impossibly vast warehouse filled with toxic waste. The metallic textures and industrial runoff suggests acres of machinery behind the walls, and the scale of it all becomes suffocating. Every single map in this wad utterly lacks anything recognizably human, from the size to the architecture to the aesthetics. The fights are also brilliant - consistently well crafted, brutally difficult but always fair, and always with a clear strategy available. I don't think I ever resorted to finding ways to cheese fights - not that I could have if I wanted to, because you aren't provided with many opportunities to break the map. The rest of the wad is also great, but maps 5 and 6 stand out to me. There's nothing else like it (except maybe Sunder, but this wad feels like it transcends Sunder in a lot of ways), and you should absolutely play it.

Does anyone else have recommendations for similar wads or games?

>guy breaks gzdoom
>instead of congratulating his creativity and his thinking outside the box, get assblasted about it
why

>>8289401
NGL, this year's maps are pretty bad and lack soul. I should've immediately known when they couldn't be arsed to make a half decent hub like they have the past years. Mansion of Chaos might be good, but I will see tomorrow. Let's hope the Christmas 1 will turn out better

>>8289565
OH NO NO NO
>>8289580
Pic related works for your post too

>>8289513
Ok Graf.

>>8289442
Don't be an obnoxious faggot with your map design. Already bad enough there was a part in the map that crushes you to death. Shit map design in an otherwise good map.

>>8289589
>Already bad enough there was a part in the map that crushes you to death.
Sounds to me you were made into a Jill sandwich

>>8289558
i can see why new doom fans prefer to look up isabelle memes instead of getting into the true heart of the fanbase

>>8289573
They open a secret level(s) on the start map. (I'm making one, but I think anal buttsex anon is as well)
Runes 1 and 2 are already claimed.
As for placement, I actually don't care that much as long as there isn't something absurd like a multi-part rocket jump to get to them.

>>8289649

>>8288834
>OUR WADS

you know its about time this gets updated with stuff like HFF, ad mortem, HUH and whatnot

graf shows up in our thread, everyone is isn't assblasted

>>8289384
Thy Flesh Consumed was a bonus episode added for the retail release of Doom 1, as the game was originally bought by mail order, and they wanted to put it on the shelf next to Doom 2, which was a retail only game, so that newcomers could grab both of them off the shelf and have the full experience. (If you already bought the first game by mail order, you could get a free patch to upgrade your game to the new version with the added episode).

TFC is made to be a little harder than the other episodes, and it's particularly punishing right out of the gate with E4M1 and E4M2, but it also lets up a lot of that pressure with the following levels. A not uncommon advice is to play Doom 2 first, before playing TFC, because then you'll be a bit more toughened and ready for its aggressive difficulty.
If you've got Sigil lined up too, I would actually suggest to save it for later, because it's harsh (yet fair) on Hurt Me Plenty, and cruel on Ultra-Violence, so you might want a bit more experience under your belt.

>>8289513

>>8289448
The new monsters aren't gonna work right in GzD, and the weapons won't either. Hopefully this gets addressed in GzD 4.7.2

I think "graf" should get back to work on updating GZDoom so it works with MBF21 instead of this. It's not like he's incapable or anything, he's such a good programmer after all, riiiiight?

>>8289513
Hey, I want GzD compat, and it's certainly on the table, but this time we were just faster on the draw than Graf. If you can't stand DSDA (and I can see why, some people have mouse problems with it apparently), then just wait a little bit more, because there's some more work to be done on Ad Mortem anyway.

>>8289525
Yeah. Luv me GzDoom, simple as, but I also luv Crispy and DSDA.

>>8289537
You're making an Edge mapset?!

What's it using from MBF21 that doesn't work?

>>8289001
Seems interesting. Count me in!

>>8289001
>>8289783
Almost forgot to ask. What source-port should we use?

>>8289789
Zandronum

>>8289294
Finished all the friendlies but haven't done the resupplier yet or given the beacon item bulk or a chance to despawn. Thinking of making more variations of friendlies first, maybe a lasgun guy? A flying drone? A radio/commander guy that only has a pistol but can call an airstrike on bosses?

Ideas?

>>8289790
What level of compatibility?

>>8289809

>>8289384
we've all been there anon, you'll enjoy it eventually

>>8289789
Probably just Boom or MBF21. Idk why that other guy said Zandronum lol.

Honest opinion is that Doom 64 is okay but one of the weaker Dooms. It's just a chore to play since it has so many Hell-knights and Barons of Hell while also missing so many key monsters (revnants, chaingunners, archvilles). Final Doom maps are lightyears more interesting than 64's.

SIGIL is okay too. In fact, No Rest for the Living is everyone thought SIGIL would be and is one of my favorite official episodes.

My ranking of the series from most to least favorite:

>Knee Deep in the Dead
>No rest for the Living
>The Plutonia Experiment
>Thy Flesh Consumed
>TNT: Evilution
>The Shores of Hell
>Inferno
>SIGIL
>Master Levels
>The Absolution (64)
>The lost Levels (64)
>Hell on Earth (2)

>>8289983
>64 below the fucking Master Levels
what the fuck are you smoking

I'm absolutely unable to change the sound effects in Doom. I tried both PWAD and PK3 but the game just refuses to change it. Same directory as the DOOM IWAD and everything. Does it *have* to be DMX format or can I use WAV files somehow (without having to code it in)?

>>8289672
This has been brought up time and time again and nobody has ever done anything about it.

>>8290061
Yeah! Somebody should really do something!

>>8290026
Nvm I'm literally retarded. I was changing the wrong sound file.

>>8288924
personally, I think an Eternity mapping project would be a cool idea

>>8290123
That was my second idea, but I'd still like to do the patchwork map as it would be pretty accessible and not have that much commitment involved. The tiles would probably be no bigger than 512x512 depending on how many people join. So anyone could easily create a tile and not have to worry about much else. Maybe have the Eternity project directly after it since I doubt the patchwork map would take long.

>>8289792
Some other ones I thought about:
>shield guy, armed with a pistol. You can take cover behind him and he acts like a mobile, pistol-shooting shield generator but with limited shield durability and much more limited radius of protection (limited to his bodysize basically), so as not to make the shield generator item (which is rare and supposed to be powerful) useless
>rocketeer. Uses either a pistol or some other smallarm against most enemies, takes out an 84mm Launcher against bigger enemies
>incinerator. The flamethrower in this mod does a lot of damage and zombies generally take 1.5-2x flame damage, but most demons are resistant to it. It also burns through ammo quick, not just enemies. Powerful but offset by the possibility that a stray shot will make him combust, dealing damage to you as well if you're near

Thinking of also giving the regular ones 1 grenade on spawn to use against certain enemies, and also making it so that if a friendly gets killed by a lostsoul it becomes possessed instead and turns against you.
Godamn feature creep is fucking me over lol. I'll never finish this at this rate.

>>8288887
Is 4.8 SVN any better about it than 4.7.1 stable?

>>8290192
I'm only missing the sprites for a shield guy, the rest are covered. If someone knows or has any I'd be thankful.
There's that one guy from Strife but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Too futuristic, need something more "generic Doom marine".

>>8288895
Nope. I fed it 5lb of sirloin steak and now this little guy protects me.

>>8289052

>>8290361
>Doom 2 second last, and not even considered good levels
Explain your reasoning? Genuinely curious.

>>8290464
It's kind of a semi-meme answer.
Knee Deep in the Dead because it's overrated, I found the textures to be really bland and repetitive, it's really easy and you don't have the full arsenal and not nearly the full roster that makes Doom fun.
Doom 2 is there because honestly the music is worse than in Doom 1, the Doom 2 textures are my least favorite, and Doom 2's levels are split in three parts, the first one which I played to death, the second one which is really meh and the third one which is really forgettable.
Sandy's levels are probably the best though.

>>8289495
>Does anyone else have recommendations for similar wads
Cryogenics;
Toilet of the Gods;
Breathless, Entropy, Fractured Worlds;
Flotsam, to an extent.

>>8290485
Toilet of the Gods is fucking awesome and gets me excited about the rest of your recs. I remember playing the first level of Flotsam feeling like hot shit because I beat most of the fights in Abandon with no mid-fight saves, and realizing I had a lot to learn. Very excited to give these a shot, thanks anon.

>>8289495
>>8290485
>>8290507
That abandon map 5 is by bemused, and is my favorite bemused map. he has a number of maps in flotsam. note that anon's rec of fractured worlds contains the same music track in one map as abandon map 5.

another recent rec is haste, which includes some bemused maps, and maps by other mappers from anon's list (e.g., nirvana, who was also in fractured worlds).

if you like cryogenics, you can try nosp2 (which i prefer to cryogenics, though cryogenics has a special purpose). note that nosp3 is in development and will be great, i say that without hesitation and without having seen it.

if you like all of abandon, maybe check out efforts by all those mappers elsewhere. e.g., scotty and his maps are very popular right now. he did a bonus map (31 iirc) for fractured worlds and iirc has some maps in haste.

you might also like some older generation wads, like rush, combat shock 2, and some of the slaughterfests, though the last one has a lot of variability across maps.

>>8290507
>>8290537
note also that a big chunk of the later part of flotsam is bemused maps

have fun with the zzul maps lol (maps 5-6)

yeah, but i do that all the time anyway

God damn it bros I love Hexen so much I want an advanced source port and dehacked tools for it but they'll never ever happen.
Hexen is already advanced and basically the base for ZDoom, but with better dedicated mapping/ dehacked support it could be amazing.

>>8290727
Nihility.

>>8290341
Lower resolution helps with software rendering. Reminder that FDWL adds widescreen 200p/400p modes that scale the HUD without artifacts. Then there's also Woof.

>>8290753
I would honestly love fort a more complex map, wrath of cronus type project for Hexen.

Wasnt there already one campaign mod? Forget the name.

>>8290761
Woof unironically became my favourite sourceport, to the point where I'm debating whether or not to remove Crispy just to clean up my folder.
It's still missing some nice features that Crispy and DSDA have but otherwise it's 10/10.

>>8290764
Cult of despair that's it I think.

>>8290764
Nah, miss me with the shoehorned RPG stuff. I want either vanilla TCs or really elaborate mapping features, maybe even simulated RoR.
I dream of making a dark fantasy late Roman/ early Byzantine themed conversion for Hexen. Or something like Conan, mythological pseudo-Bronze Age.

How about frankenspriting them together?

>>8290786
Its doable, but might as well use another engine or total conversion.
Conan type Hyboria would be awesome, some breast cup princesses to be saved, dinosaurs to ride, all in 2d pixel doom\hexen cute architecture style, hell yeah.

Dark ages byzantine would also be amazing, and nobody ever done it, it has that lotr feel, and weird byzantine armors to make it alien.


Wrath of cronus diablo mmo shit is distraction but well made. But desu I would also prefer lite rpg in the background and no numbers on screen.


I would help you map. Looking at doom mapping it does not seem that hard to make shit.

Okay playing it now, Cult of Despair seem pretty fucking cool.

>>8288834
Are there source ports for duke3d that's similar to gzdoom in features?

I see Vaeros talking about keeping Ad Mortem in beta for a year and adding in all the WIP maps as they come.

If you're reading this, in my opinion it would be far better to just say it's done when all bugs are fixed, and then do an Ad Mortem 2 next year. Projects without deadlines just stay in beta forever. We had a deadline, it's passed, so let's just fix all the bugs and call it a day.

Woof can load an additional wad with Ad Mortem. What, if any, wads work with it?

>>8290838
I second this motion.

>>8290838
I wouldn't even say to make it a full sequel. Just fill in the rest of the map slots and add an episode selection for 2021 and 2022. And add deathmatch arenas to the current maps that do not have any.

First level and I'm already 2 spooked.

>>8290597
I haven't played the final release yet but I really loved the demo when it first came out. Did they fix your shots always auto-aiming into the heads on the ground?

>>8290865
I think that would make more sense than just another sequel. An extended version for Ad Mortem would be more better.

>>8290940
The Ultimate Ad Mortem, if you will.

>>8290739
>a fucking snout in the HUD

I love you Kegan

/vr/os, Ad Mortem keeps crashing at Caco Keep whenever I load in. I'm using DSDA, should I switch to something else?

>>8290761
are you the fdwl author?

isn't the crosshair cheating?

>>8290996
What dsda version? What error message?

It's been forever since I've played a doom that isn't gzdoom or zandronum and well, vanilla for that matter. Ad Mortem is going to be a very interesting experience for me to get used to how something different like Woof works as well as forgetting all the crutches I had in stuff like gzdoom and zandro. I'm probably going to die over and over again aren't I?

>>8291097
You can't rely on the chainsaw as much.

>>8291029
No, and I don't use any crosshair myself, but if you mean the snapping to enemies, I guess it is, strictly speaking. Seems like a tiny advantage to me, though, except in select situations like monsters hiding behind a shitton of overlapping midtextures. DSDA (and PrBoom+) itself has other similar "cheating" aids for TASes available such as showing monsters' health and locations.

>>8290996
That's probably related to >>8287429 >>8288606

>>8291236
that is why you start organizing them like that the moment you start downloading mods

>>8291236
I've been on and off organizing my 36 GB folder of wads since 2016, and it's been hell. I still have ~2000 more zip files to go, and I took a hiatus around last year.
Tip: If a wad has no readmes, searching up nameofwad.wad may give you a link to the project's thread on DW or ZDF or idgames, which will probably include a text file.

>>8291057
v 0.21.3, error 11

>>8290838
Nah, I think it would be fun to try to divide it into a 2021 episode, and then a 2022 episode.

>>8291236
I have a folder named "bomb disposal" to unpack shit from zips and other things and usually add letters in the beginning of a mod's name classify them and easily distinguish them from either gameplay or wads.

>https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/125420-six-spooky-speedmaps-six-maps-for-doom-2-that-i-made-in-4-days/
I found this WAD a few days ago and checked it out. It's pretty good I'd say, what do you guys think of it?

>>8291428
Map01 is decent - the first open arena leaves you open to fire from seargants with an archie running around. This baron in pic related is free to leave through the back of the stairs but for some reason stays there, unable to shoot you because of cover, which enables to you to take shots at him at face distance freely.
Also, these halloween assets must be from Vaeros right? There's also the 2048 shotgun which if I recall correctly was made by chopblock - I'd say its a nice choice of assets for halloween speedmaps. Onto map02

>>8291236
Recommend me some Heretic vanilla wads anon.
Also I don't even include the readme files, that's a good idea.
I just create shortcuts with the "-iwad -pistolstart -complevel x -file -deh (if applicable) -save (.\)" for each .wad I have as soon as I download them.
>>8291246
Literally impossible, you go over 100 wads easily and there's no way to sort them by folders without running into bloat inevitably.
The most I can do is split wads by best source port to play them.

>>8291552
>The most I can do is split wads by best source port to play them.
Yeah this is fine. Particularly big mods like HD even get their own folder.

>>8291562
Autoload folders are also a Godsend.

>>8291572
I've been using the Global.Autoload string in the gzdoom config.

>>8291552
>Recommend me some Heretic vanilla wads anon.
I only got a list of maps that i will play someday (I swear) and some maps that probably include custom stuff but i dont know it does,The occasional enemy replacement and total conversion as well

>>8291535
>they're using one of the old versions of the Defender Of The Faith, without the cross lug

Does anyone here have a doom wad they can recommend along the lines of Adventures of Square but that is coop compatible?

>>8290996
Looks like that's going to be fixed eventually in both Woof and DSDA: https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/woof/issues/339
Meanwhile, it's a short enough map it should be beatable without saving.

Speaking of fixing source ports, could someone who understands the MBF21/dehacked stuff isolate what exactly GZDoom fails to support correctly so we could report the bugs there?

>Decide to give a try to heretical doom monsters,they are from heretic after all so they cant be too hard with doom weapons right?
>The fucking golems are tankier than a juggernaut and shoulder slam me to death on entryway
Fuck

CSQC anon (if you're still around) do you have any idea why viewzoom isn't working on FTE?

>>8290739
are the black semi-circles suppose to be glasses

So I don't know why, but I've been craving to play old build engine shooters. I never played Blood, so I grabbed it on sale.

What the fuck is this game? It plays fine, but the stupid noises at the end of each level and goofy one liners have me fucking rolling. I love this shit

>>8291632
Hocus Pocus Doom was made compatible with Zandronum for co-op, it plays a bit differently from Doom and Adventures of Square but I enjoyed it. I never tried the co-op version though.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/hocus-pocus-doom/downloads/hocuspocus-doom-for-slower-computers-zandronum-fix

>>8291746
frankly I been craving build engine shooters for a while now but there's nothing like them really except for them unless we're talking prey 2006
cool weapons and concepts seem to be forgotten in fps games

>>8291823
Yeah. There's just something special to them. I really like the way they play and how they just drip with soul.

>>8290996
It's because of the way I made the teleporter closets. I used push and wind scrollers which, long story short, turns out that DSDA and Wolf doesn't like at all. It was my first time screwing around making teleporter closets, so it was really hacky (I had a hard time getting flying enemies like caco's and gargoyles to spawn in). This verison made by a very kind anon (>>8288606) last thread fixes it, so I took that and also fixed a small map bug where you're unable to get the soulsphere because of the spooky jumpscare skeleton which is a bug I discovered playing through the map on fucking release day, which might be one of the worse feelings I have felt mapping. I think when I put the skeleton in at first, they didn't have hitboxes but with the updates to the resources over the month, a hitbox was added to them.
I just completely forgot about this project until literally halloween day, so I'm sorry for the issues in Caco's Keep I didn't notice.

v4 of Cacos Keep here

>>8290980
I'm pretty sure that alone is gonna win over a lot of people.

>>8291716
yeah, those are his goggles. I got a friend who thinks those shouldn't be visible at all but I think it works for a stylized "visor" HUD like this.

>>8291960
>I used push and wind scrollers which, long story short, turns out that DSDA and Wolf doesn't like at all
Exclaimer to anyone using linedefs like scroll according to vector or sector height: when transfering map from boom to mbf21 the amount of scrolling/pushing things changes a bit, so if the pushes were precisely tuned you may need to retune them

>>8292000
I think everything divisible by 32 is consistent. Otherwise, might not be.

Fliers don't scroll with the floor though.

Ever since I upgraded to Zandronum 3.1, I can't join any servers on doomseeker, most are still using 3.0. Should I maintain 2 different versions of zandro or will this somehow be resolved soon?

>>8290382
I know the switch had nothing to do with the pit. The area established earlier there are lower parts of the map you can enter and exit. Why the actual fuck was this 1 made that way? I assume it's because either the mapper forgot it or is a faggot

>>8292050
Maybe you should git gud instead of blaming others.

>>8292041
Doomseeker will automatically download new versions of Zandronum if you set a directoy for testing releases. Just get 3.0 for the time being and let Doomseeker handle installing 3.1 alphas. I heard that TSPG is going to shut down for a few days to force all of its servers to 3.1, not sure when that's happening.

>>8290838
Are you crazy? Who doesn't want to playtest the same maps for a year?

>>8292078
Ooh I see. Thanks I'll try that and hope TSPG and I suppose the other servers as well upgrade too.

>>8290597
>more than 80 hybrid enemies

>Zandronum is finally getting a new update after 4 years
Unfortunately I don't think this'll be a big enough update to revitalize the playerbase or anything like that but it's something at least.

>>8292121
>revitalize the playerbase

It won't change anything unless there are servers hosting something other than megagame.wad and complex doom kitchen sink clusterfucks.

ayy

>>8292141
There's plenty of those still around but nobody plays them.

>>8292141
>>8292121
Once upon a time there was a Zandrofork or something with some real MMO-shit going on. Several semi-openworld maps and players going from one to another were automatically reconnected to another server.

I remember even joining it for a few minutes., and seeing several vids about it. So it's definitely was a real functioning thing.
But now all i find are some threads by "ideaguys" speaking about how rad such thing wouldve been from 2014 or something.

>>8292151
that would be rad for a /vr/ lounge kind of thing

>>8292151
sounds real fuckin' neato

>>8292151
I bet that's something you could easily do in Unreal, thinking about it. You could (i think) have a level exit connect to another server, since open "map" or open "address" are the same command...
Wonder if anyone has done that. It wouldn't be hard to test anyway, and so long as you're running jcoopz you could keep your stuff if you logged out and in again... That plus some autosaving, I'm not sure there's any reason you couldn't run a persistent world like that.

>>8292172
is something like this possible in Quake/Darkplaces?

>>8290790
I'm frankenspriting the pistol doomguy and the shield zombie from cyber's monster randomizer together.
Honestly I'm baffled that there's no shield doomguy sprite yet anywhere.

>>8292172
You'd need multiple servers for the maps, right? Seems like it could be an issue unless Unreal has its own TSPG equivalent where dedicated hosting is easier.

>>8292172
If I recall correctly there was a guy who did that with unreal way back in 2003 or so. Don't remember at all what it was called, and there are probably only a dozen people on earth who ever touched it. But yes, I've seen it done in unreal.

>>8292203
Yeah. And thinking about it I don't think inventory items would carry to the next server... But maybe they would, I dunno.

>>8292391
The abundance of trannies and pronoun faggots in zdoom really is insufferable.

>>8292425
AL is all over the place in terms of historical period, most of it way past Arthurian times - IIRC plate cuirass armor and crossbows were not a thing in Europe until 4-5 centures after King Arthur could've possibly been alive.

In any case, for a while I've been longing for a Roman/Byzanthine - influenced steampunk action game - since both greeks and romans knew a lot about mechanics and engineering it'd be nice to see some alternative history where their culture didnt fall and reached the industrial revolution times with their culture and aesthetics intact.

>>8292418
and there are several co-op marines mods, or mods that have friendly monsters in them
point is why the fuck would there be a rule against them? why would you say that?
and if there is why isn't it enforced against anyone else?

>>8292443
Now that you say it, I kinda want that too, now.

>>8292443
>most of it way past Arthurian times
which, tbf, is pretty on-point for the Arthurian aesthetic, considering that the entire Matter of Britain is anachronism central

streaming ad mortem if anyone is interested
this is my first time in a long long time using vanilla doom and a sourceport that isn't full of crutches like gzdoom or zandro so I'll see what happens

No.

>>8292471
Quake Champions Doom Edition

>>8292479
is there an enemy only version?

>>8292481
Not that I know.
You can deactivate Quake 4 and Doom ones and keep them 1 and 2.

>Get told next stream would be Friday

>>8292143
The Mancubus scare is really neat in that part.
And the caco secret.


He should have retouched the first episode a bit more, the second episode in terms of level design is way more ambitious in details.

I dont get it but build games always seem more busy in assets, than doom total conversion when trying to do the same thing.

>>8292496
I think it has something to do with movement. Too much detail in Doom and you start to snag on things quite uncomfortably which does not happen in Build.

>>8292443
AL is meant to be tongue in cheek in case you missed a bust of Duke Nukem in the green knight castle. I think they went a bit overboard but it works.

I would have preferred more witchhaven dragons\goblins and buxom witches than Monty Python but hey. Its fun. Arthurian is meant to be stupiud.


>>8292456
Pretty much, although when you read medieval shit like matter of France and especially Amadis of Gaul you really see the kind of dark ages well of inspiration tons of people drank, especially tolkien.

This literally wouldn't have happened if he didn't act like a whiny fucking faggot in both the release thread AND the cacoward thread. He brought this upon himself and deserves everything that comes his way for it.

MAP03 (Beneath Bloodstone) was updated on DW with the patchnote from v1.4b, but the version included was v1.4.
Here's the correct version again: https://files.catbox.moe/qsx557.zip
Also the doomworld post erroneously implies that MAP03 has a Deathmatch arena.

>>8292836
That's weird, I guess you sent me a wrong file because the one that I downloaded was 1.4b

>>8292823
So /vr/ projects would fit right in.

>>8292671
Even the amateur just beat that level and didn't have those problems at the end.

Not a fan of that modified mouthguard look and how it spread to most of the roster. I want to be grimaced at as much as possible with these guys, it's a lot more unsettling and intimidating that way. Failing that I haven't seen anything in Q4 as awesome as tanks wearing human faces, that's some Chaos shit.

Looks like there's a lot of interest in a Christmas project. Question is, who will lead it? I would be willing to if nobody else steps up

>>8292932
If we're going to make a X-mas project then we have to start from now. 2 months is enough time for mapping unless you want a speedmap project in december or something

>>8292932
We could barely meet the deadline for a Halloween project that started in August. Christmas isn't going to happen.

>>8292391
It's because he encouraged someone who was suicidal to suicide. I still play his mods regardless, but I do believe if a place wants to ban his works because of it that it's okay because suicide carries more consequence than just losing your life. It affects more than oneself. Better advice would be to change whatever it is that's making people unhappy. If it's poverty, try to find legal ways to make money.

If it's personal relationship problems, save enough to move.

Lover problems? Get in shape.

If one is just bored with life it's time to explore so that they may find what they love.

Jail doctors who perform tranny surgery and people who encourage others to "transition" with the exception of current actual trannies since they'll be on that head high since their fake identity takes one in order to act out. Makes no sense to punish victims of subversive mental gaslighting.

>>8292447
They feel wrong about the truthful reason why they don't want his work around because of their need to manipulate community perception. Though they should just be honest and say that they don't want his work around for encouraging people to suicide regardless of what others post and would actually be more acceptable of a response, even to detractors, than simply hiding it like that.

I'd ban people who encourage others to suicide if I was moderating a website but I wouldn't lie about why they and their content is banned. To hate the artist and not the art is ultimately to love the artist for all works are autobiographical.

Is Thing_Hate the only way to make monsters attack friendlies on sight, instead of only if they're hurt by them?
also fuck mods

>>8293025
its not even about the suicide thing, plus that been doctored and edited by the ztroom forums.
Its because Mk4 was questioning the holocaust when one of the zdoom thought police claimed to find a holocaust denial play list on his youtube, so its likely they engineered a scenario to get rid of him

>>8293070
Interesting. I wasn't there though. I'm just going by what others have said. I wouldn't be surprised though considering how people can be.

>>8293057
Think so. However, I do know the "hate target" actor can be used to start conversations and are invisible in game.

>>8293102
but how do I assign a TID to an actor? It says in the wiki that the TID is a "Tag" that you assign manually, but that's confusing, since I think TID is a number, and there's already a "Tag" you can give to actors in decorate such as "Shotgun Marine" or whatever other name you want, so it can't be that.

I must say, Quake2XP has to be the worst garbage ever made as "eyecandy" sourceport.
Not only that but the author is a fucking autist who cant code right and blames graphic cards companies for not working with his shit.
He keeps blaming Reshade dev and blocked all DLL's claiming that is ruining his artistic vision.
and the monster texture assets were stolen from the old Q2Evolved textures.

For a Russian sourceport, even the old berserkerQ2 had better compatibility than that.

>>8292948
Well, I can definitely serve as a lead and make a resources wad, but the real question is how many anons still have it in them to make more maps?

>>8293112
https://zdoom.org/wiki/TID

Check out the zdoom wiki. It's pretty comprehensive.

I use gzdoom builder primarily for maps. It's based off of regular doom builder. Pic related is one way to change it. You can also create scripts that assign and change Tids to different actors.

>>8293167
Just right click on the actor of the Tid you want to change. Some people use the same terminology to point to different things though. It's part of the reason why it can be confusing. Sometimes I see the Spawn ID of an actor being confused with the Tid.

>>8292908

>>8293167
>>8293175
so you can't assign it in decorate? when it says
actor: exampleactor 1439
is 1439 not the TID?
my actors are not spawned with a map so I don't know if gzdoom builder can help me.

>>8293190
If you're not placing them with a map, you'll have to use ACS to assign a TID to your spawned monsters.

>>8293198
the hell is that number then?
I don't know the first thing about scripting. Couldn't I use Thing_ChangeTID in a line in the actor spawn state?

>>8293145
use Yamagi Q2 and stop using shittty source ports ran by autists.

>>8293214
something like this
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 0 Thing_ChangeID(0, "new ID")
Goto Idle

Idle:
SPRI A 4 A_Look
Loop

for example. so it will change its ID when it spawns but wont loop back to it all the time. would that work?

>>8293190
I always use scripts when I need to do that but I do believe that you can.

https://zdoom.org/wiki/DECORATE_expressions
crtl+f and search of tid. There is a decorate property for assigning it. I believe that what you're thinking of is what I circled in pic related. That's the spawn id.

Tid is separate from spawn id. Some scripting syntax relies on spawn id instead of the actor name in quotes and some builders have a box for spawn id for custom actors whose assets aren't loaded in the builder.

>>8293253
>some builders have a box for spawn id for custom actors whose assets aren't loaded in the builder.

Pic related for gzdoom builder. There isn't even a graphic loaded with the thing but when I play my .pk3 in gzdoom everything renders and works perfectly.

Did a quick mockup of what I think the blue key square should look like. Once the competition starts in full, I will polish it up and possibly resize it in order to fit with the other submissions.

>>8293287
Damn, project hasn't even started and somebody already made a submission for it. I like it, anon. What's the total size of the room (including the closets)?
Also we'll have to get those textures set up along with whatever other set we use. Mind sharing them?

Recreational Astrocide, for Violent Rumble
https://mega.nz/file/xOwC2DJQ#lOeNjHRVjYODxzsmSaTN33oAfIs9ECcauSn3BHUrEwA

...more like r_speeds 40k lmao.
anyway, there are some performance concerns. not TerShib-bad, about on the level of Rubicon Rumble. I'm getting solid 120fps in vkQuake, but QS dips to 110 at the worst spot. curious how it performs for others.
I'm not sure why .vis got written as a separate file. I'll do some testing to see if deleting it affects performance. included it for now.

I have placed the fourth rune (style 3) in the level, even though I didn't claim it beforehand. it's in a late-level exploration secret, let me know if it's too obtuse.

I'm also looking for feedback on a couple things specifically: should I leave the safety net on for all difficulties? does the grapple progression feel "intentional"? is the silver key "puzzle" obvious enough?

>>8293306
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet that looks fucking great anon

I'll try to stream my first playthrough of it in the morning. Also, I'll go ahead and claim rune 5 for Shub's Wager. I think that just leaves rune 3 unclaimed.
Thanks again for the extra submission.

>>8293297
Including the closets, the size of the room is around 1400 x 1024. I can squish it down pretty easily though if need be. Worst case scenario, I could just replace the caco closets with a teleporter ambush.

The blue textures are from OTEX, and the switch texture is from GothicDM. You can see their original names if you open up the wad with Slade3.

>>8293253
>There is a decorate property for assigning it
I'm not sure I understand anything in that page at all and the example linked at the end only makes it worse.
>I believe that what you're thinking of is what I circled in pic related. That's the spawn id
Yes, that's what I was talking about.

So for now I have the friendlies with Thing_ChangeID and the enemies with Thing_Hate in their spawn state. I hope it works and doesn't have an effect on my framerate

>>8293337
If you want them to not call Thing_ChangeID and Thing_Hate constantly, you should make your Spawn state jump to an Idle state and loop that instead.

>>8293326
Hmm, 1024x1024 might be the sweet spot for each tile size then. We'll have to see how many more people are interested to get an estimate of the total grid size. I'll make a more detailed post later this week to thoroughly go over the rules and hopefully start the project for real.

>>8291552
>The most I can do is split wads by best source port to play them.
Why not by intended IWAD (Doom, Heretic, Hexen, etc.)?

>>8293145
Wasn't Reshade also made by a russian autist that got peer-pressured into making it open?

>>8293340
yes, it's what I did, but someone from the gzdoom development said in a thread it might tank fps because of the way thing_hate works. something about them always checking for the hatee or something, I can't find the thread anymore, but I'm fairly sure it was a post from many years ago so I don't know if it still applies, or if it applies to every hate type, like hate type 3 where they will only attack a hatee if it gets into their field of view, just like the player.

>>8293351
as a STALKER fan, trust me, Russian modders are the biggest fucking autists out there

>>8293306
dammit, quick fix incoming. a certain oblong fellow doesn't activate, even though fastvisd version worked fine. not even sure what would cause this.

I do keep Heretic, Hexen, Strife and now REKKR completely separate. I was debating doing this for Hacx, FreeDoom and D4V as well but those can stay where they are.
They all use mostly different source ports as well.
GZDoom has all the official and unofficial IWADS that I want for mods and stuff.
For Doom I use Crispy, Woof and GZDoom (I dropped prboom+ UMAP completely, thinking of dropping crispy as well, not much point in it when all of it's features that I use are already in Woof).
Crispy Heretic is the only port for Heretic that I use.
Chocolate for Hexen and Strife.
REKKR was a bit more complicated and I switch between Choco, Crispy, Woof and the official release, though I'd say that Woof is still the best choice (don't like using GZDoom unless I have to, Choco is a bit too sensible and Crispy's menu uses a custom texture that gets messed up by the palette). I keep REKKR separate because the coloured blood option, which is great in Doom, carries over improperly and you get sorrows with blue blood since they're caco replacements and skelespiders with green blood since they're baron/ hell knight replacements.
I also have a save directory for each separate wad even though I play saveless and I only keep the save to "mark my progress".
I might be autistic about it.
For Quake though I only use Quakespasm spiked and UQE for Hexen 2.

>>8292551
Fix for Imps in the Walls - made the death pit not as deadly anymore. https://files.catbox.moe/39nj3p.zip
By the way, did anyone notice any savegame issues in this map? Because I also have pusher/wind teleporters set up, but during testing they all worked as intended.

A word to the really, really mad anon though: If you pay attention, you will notice that you can see the ground of all pits but this one. It also has pitch black walls as far as you can see instead of just being darker in the center, already giving you an indication that these might not be climbable. And the earlier parts of the map should have taught you to proceed with a little bit more caution. But I yeah, I can understand how it can be frustrating, so I changed it - although I am wondering why you didn't say anything during the testing period.

>>8293306
How does one go about creating a map like this?

A fan is porting all the Turok Evolution maps to Turok 2.

Based or cringe? Also another fan is porting the evolution weapons to accompany it

I think Plutonia is where the Doom team officially got involved so that’d explain it, for Evilution, it was just a bunch of Doom mapping geniuses who got together for fun and made great levels (many went on to be professional video game designers)

It literally makes me seethe how much support Quake gets in terms of user map content. I understand it's 100% down to the amazing user friendly tools.

But I just feel pissed that there's so many games that don't get any attention. Powerslave, blood, shadow warrior, marathon, goldeneye, Turok, Ion Fury.

The quake mappers won't leave their comfort zone at all and map for something else. They could breathe new life into so many games but don't. Reeeeee.

I believe red card is what it's supposed to require as there doesn't seem to be a blue card anywhere in the map.

Alright, let's give this a test:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1k5FdmdAKw

Hopefully no technical difficulties this time... Though I've had to switch to FTE since QSS has decided to give me insufferable micro-stutters since updating Nvidia drivers.

How do I get proper DOS darkness in source ports? I use Heretic as an example, but here it is in DOSBox:

>>8294093
And here it is in Crispy.
This happens all across the board, regardless of game/ source port. DOSBox has very different gamma/ contrast by default.

What is the center switch in the columns hall in Heretic Episode 5 Map 6: Colonnade supposed to do?

>>8294103
What are the chances of you posting this right after I post a question about Heretic?

>>8294046
Ah, what the hell... How'd you end up in there? The pit should rise when you first enter the cave.

>>8293351
Crosire is French, that is ENB dev ur talking about, Fucking Boris.
Check the forums later, he spergs over everything and hates Vulkan, OpenGL and Mainly DX12.

>>8293235
Im using Yamagi and KMQ2, the only issue is that Yamagi is ran by Autistic Purists who despises the idea of a Quake2Spasm, and KMQ2 dev is chill.

>>8294134
I entered it from the outside with some convoluted platforming over the rocks.

>>8294093
I can tell youi right away that DOSBox brightness isn't right. That's not how the game looks on my Dos machine.

>>8293649
Cyb's Freaky Colonoscopy

You know, graf would get a lots of cookie points of he out of pure autism added GLSLP shader support out of the libretro library with configs for it.

>>8294161
Hm, what does it look like? Is it brighter or darked? Keep in mind this is a screenshot of a cheap LCD screen, not a CRT.

>>8294240
Screenshots dont care for your display lmao
I'd say it's closer to Chocolate, but i'd try to increase the saturation to try and get richer colors of the Dosbox without sacrificing image clarity too much.

>>8294086
Pretty phenomenal map. The only issue I noticed was the 2nd (I think?) jump pad not getting me all the way to where it was aiming, but I don't know if that's just a FTE quirk.

What's the best way to play Arthurian Legends? Can I port it to GZDoom?

>>8294342
just play gmota instead

>>8294346
It has too many ranged weapons and ranged enemies.

>>8294143
Oh, I see what you did there. I've changed it so that the mancubus just teleports in instead. I'll leave the skip to the red key in unless you think players confused as to how to progress to the basement could mistake that as the intended route.

>>8294278
watching this rn, no comment stream though.
skipped ahead to look at the jump pad, and yeah that's a bug. I've tuned it so it plants you square on the spot passively (in QS). it's possible to fight against it though, but in your case I think it's FTE. I'll try to find some solution.
but also, you could probably manage just with air control alone, and additionally if you jump right at the moment of lift-off you can even get to the roof secret early.

>>8294268
Except there's no way to increase the saturation in Chocolate unless I'm missing something.

I prefer Doom 32X Resurrection. It might be missing some map details, but it's full screen, has vastly superior music, better frame rate, saving, better menus, plus other little touches like the Saturn/PSX Doom intro logo. Feels like a very polished game and shows just how capable the 32X hardware is. Dev has also said he might add back some of the map stuff.

>>8294278
ok, you seemed to have managed alright.
never fell off once I think? do you figure I could disable the safety net for nightmare at least, then? and maybe limited charges for hard.
anyway I guess the performance was decent and important secrets weren't too hard. seems like too much ammo, but you never know how much the player's gonna explore.

So I got Blood : Whole Unit.
Should I get Blood Fresh Supply or Back 2 Blood?

There's talk of 94 protons of /vr/ - but what would a level for this kind of mapset entail? I didnt really play plutonia much and from what I understand its just a harder doom2, no? I mean, there are some ugly jungle custom textures - does this mean they should be all jungle themed?
