TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

Hey thanks for updating the grid for me, OP. Reply to this post with your claims. Project is getting extended to probably sometime before Christmas. Lets aim for total completion by December 18th.

Doing it

>>8344872
There's no difference between "outside drama" and "doom community member's politics".

Also, I would add nu-Doom to the left side because jannies tend to delete discussion of it ITT.

>>8346117
Original "info here" post for PATCHWORK proj is ded, what is exactly the proj about i may want to map something smol

>>8346145
Here's the rules https://pastebin.com/zkL8pa12
Gist of it is you pick one of the unclaimed tiles with doomguy's face on it and you draw out a design for a tile. Then you actually map it and once all the tiles are done they'll get "sewn" together to form one big patchwork map. A tile is 1024x1024 units and you have to make entrances (doors or open paths) to any neighboring tiles that also have entrances. So claim a tile, draw out your design for it and make sure it connects, then post your rough draft for me to approve. If you got any other questions just ask.

Where do I find Ribbiks wads like Frog or Finely Crafted Fetish Film? As far as I can tell his website is down and it's not hosted on doomworlds. Did he delete a bunch of shit, or am I missing something obvious?

>>8346207
try DSDA?

>>8346212
Huh. Not all that interested in demos and I never realized you could download wads from there. Worked great, thanks!

Does anyone have the .iso for Necrodome? Some jew company had all the abandonware sites remove the download and i cant fucking find it.

>>8346240
god damn, people know about necrodome? That's the game I use for identify a game by a screenshot threads
I have the actual CD somewhere in a bin of old games

>>8346256
Yeah! Its one of my childhood games and i actually have the original disc but i never managed to rip it to a iso because it got very scratched.

>>8346267
If all you wanna do is make doom with sprites and shit, you might as well use godot. It's got annoying freetard problems but it's a fuck of a lot easier to learn than unreal or even unity

>>8346207

There's literally nothing to derive from getting good at doom 2.

>>8346563
why even bother with video games at all if you don't enjoy overcoming challenges?

>>8346563

>>8346579
There are plenty of fantastic mapsets out there to play just for the sake of experiencing them, not everything has to be about busting your balls.

>>8346579
The same reason you sit on your ass playing Doot instead of conquering the highest mountains and the widest deserts: The time and effort that would need to be invested in overcoming the challenge in question is greater than the number of shits I give about it.

Is this thread also the place to talk about map making? I'm getting started on something, I have an introduction in mind right now, but I want to make the ceilings of the sectors seethrough. Anyone know how to do that? My browsing has turned up no real answers.

In the meantime, I need to get a good texture of dense trees. 667 failed me on that one, and I'm in too deep to give up on this idea.

>>8346240
>https://archive.org/details/necro_sw
This?

>>8346713
Seethrough? As in a sky? Just set the ceiling flat to F_SKY1.

>>8346713
What do you mean by seethrough? Have visible sky? Or have ceiling windows? In any case, the answer is: F_SKY1

>>8346728
Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. My idea was to start in a sort of densely wooded area, so I wanted some open sky. I'll see about changing the skybox to something more grim, as well as finding a decent texture I can use to make the walls into, well, trees. It'll probably end up looking like an N64 Zelda because of it but whatever.

Any good discord exclusive doom mods?

Doom glorifies Nazis. There are even painting of Hitler. It's why when I used to go to Christian school they would scold me for playing games like doom and quake because it "glorified violence" and well since Hitler is in Doom, it glorifies Nazism. Think the world wars and the genocides. Think about what doom is. A genocide.

>>8347047
Did you overlook the part where you KILL the nazis?

Thanks for the model anon, this kinda plays like a more jank Fakk2 or heretic 2.

Maybe with a better cross hair and weapons animations it would be even better.


Makes me think than in quake 3 engine ritual could have done better work with polygons and Julie model in fakk2, then again this is my ignorant view maybe back then it was the most they could achieve.


Its certainly very interesting although quake 2 is really a chore to me.

>>8346984
I finally started implementing encounters but it's a long way from done. So here's another view of the map, from a good vantage point.

>>8347083
>Its certainly very interesting although quake 2 is really a chore to me.
I didn't give it much of a chance awhile back because I wanted it to be a sequel to Quake 1 with all the fast shooting and switching. When viewed as another IdSoft 90s shooter it's very good, and it's lead to me discovering AI fixes and great maps.
It also helps that I love the look.
>>8347105
This is coming along great, anon.
>floating Icon of Sin cube in the distance
Holy shit, nice.

>>8346928
>Good DOOM mods.

>>8347114
>AI fixes

>>8347083
>Thanks for the model anon
Glad you like it. I'm gonna try to 'enhance' a few other ones when I have time, and maybe try porting some from other games. RTCW elite guards seem like an obvious choice.
>Makes me think than in quake 3 engine ritual could have done better work with polygons and Julie model in fakk2
Maybe, but most (all?) Quake 3 engine games use separate models for different body parts so smoothing techniques like what I used might be prone to causing misalignment. I'd imagine there's also a video memory concern with which they might have chosen to prioritize texture resolution.

>>8347315
>I'd imagine there's also a video memory concern

Probably this, counting polygons was the real deal back then so your pentium 133 wouldn't just die.

>>8347315
You could probably use the Elexis models from Sin like I said from last thread and use them immediately in quake 2.

Also and "enhanced" Elexis would probably look really cool.

>>8347105
Beautiful. A really emotional city hellscape
Amazing work, hope you do well in e counters too

>>8346992
Make a .wad in Slade, put your texture in it, load it in UDB where you loaded the doom2.wad. Please note that the exact steps to be taken may vary in different map formats, read up on how wads are structured in the Doomwiki or Zdoom wiki.

>>8347272
Choose and launch an expansion, type "skill 0-3" in the console (ex. 0 for easy, 3 for hard+), then "map base1" or wherever you want to start in Q2's campaign and you're good to go. This works with custom levels too. I like using the Mission 64 mod personally, though a few level packs have their own custom modifications and improvements like the Citadel mapset.

>>8347334
>use them immediately in quake 2
Not really. I'd have to rig and then reanimate the models to match Q2's animation frames (assuming they don't happen to be the same). I'll definitely do Elexis though.

>>8347341
Well, I got a folder with the foliage textures, and I set it up the same way a pk3 would be set up, so that part is fine. Now I need to figure out how to make this dummy sector to let the transparency work on this texture. Progress is being made, for sure!

>>8347334
>You could probably...
>>8347357
>Not really. I'd have to rig and then reanimate the models to match Q2's animation frames (assuming they don't happen to be the same).
I can verify how much of a pain this is. Syncing up weapon positions has been particularly monotonous.

Alright, so this actually does work now. Foliage, transparent, I just need to fine tune the actual set up of the sectors to hide it I suppose. I probably should set my sights lower for day 1 of making a map period, but I think I'm on a hot streak here.

>>8346472
No, but making them couldn't be too hard, you'd just have to copy the writing style and depth of the originals.

For Q2, go over notable ports, the 3.24 patch, how to set up multiplayer, how custom skins/models work, and all the major maps and mods.
For HL, make the distinction between the old Sierra versions and Steam, how they differ, and how the former doesn't like modern Windows. Bring up the patch differences for Sierra, the Steamless project, and maybe Xash.
Make a separate page for all the mods because there's a fuck ton.

>when the phone number to order the full game in the shareware version doesn't work

Will we ever setup a Blood multiplayer match? That's my most played FPS ever but never got into the multiplayer because no people
It looks fun actually

you will never say aardwolf

>>8347410
That was probably discontinued in the 90s, bro, replaced by the Ultimate Doom retail release.

>>8347420
Is there a source engine where the mp even works?I remember trying it in BuildGDX but that doesn't work as far as I remember

>>8347467
The 500ml pisscord did some games with nblood and it worked pretty well.

Is Doom a good entrypoint into the classic FPS genre? I'm kind of intrigued by Heretic because of the fantasy theme but it was built later in the Doom Engine, right? So is it way harder?

>>8347525
while wolfenstein 3d did came first, doom had enough be the "father" of the genre and also works as a middleground between wolfenstein and quake
but heretic is still fun

>>8347525
Definitely start with Doom first.

I'm playing through Halo CE, and it isn't great.
At the time, I can see how it would have been unique. The scale would have been impressive.
But I'm not a fan of the level design at all. I just got through Assault on the Control Room, and it is just a slog. The same rooms over and over. Far too long.
On heroic (which the game is apparently balanced for), enemies are bullet sponges.

>>8347525
Just play Heretic anon, you have difficulty settings and the first three episodes (the original game) aren't hard. I finished it with keyboard look when I was three years old, while my mom was controlling the inventory/ action keys. The expansion ones are kinda bullshit for new players. You can safely skip them since the story is over after the Dome of D'Sparil.
Here's some tips:
1) Use Crispy Heretic, unless widescreen and mouselook are a must for you. It's the most advanced source port that maintains full compatibility with the vanilla game.
2) Set your key binds, I personally use WASD to move, Q and E to look up and down, space for action. The rest is up to you, but make sure you set hotkeys for items you're going to use a lot and for your inventory. Stop flying key also re-centers your view, so you can leave the center view key unbound and use it for something else.
3) Shadowspheres negate certain attacks (especially one that comes after you, I won't spoil it). You also can't carry more than one item of each that you picked up between levels so make sure to use them.
And after you're done with Heretic play Hexen.

>>8347609
All the halo games are soulless shit like ME. They are not bad, I had some fun playing 1 and 2 on pc some years back. But yeah its boring.

But fuck its amazing it got so serious, especially with novels and cringe shit like reach. The aliens look especially dumb, and there is not an ounce of originality on the bootleg human space marines.

Then again I look at the whole fanbase with better eyes when compared to the absolute trash that is cod and other similar games.

>>8347525
Yes, it's a good entrypoint, easy to learn the fundamentals, with a skill ceiling that reaches to the sky, depending on how hard you like your custom mapsets. You can be really fucking good at the game, but still if you look around you can find something that's gonna give you something that'll be a challenge.

Anyway, the base game is pretty straightforward, and pretty easy. Start with Doom 1, you can probably play on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty level if you have just limited experience with FPS, if you've played other kinds of FPS a lot, probably you could start with Ultra-Violence right away. Episode 4 starts out pretty hard, so maybe drop down to HMP again when you get that far.

One can deliberate over sourceports and accuracy all day long, but mind these:
>1: You can use a mouse, but in the original game you cannot look up or down, the game adjusts shots vertically for you with enemies above and below the center of your screen, the mouse only turns you horizontally, which is still extremely useful
>2: The original .exe has an annoying mouse movement function tied to the mouse (moving you backwards and forwards), most sourceports, and even the new official ports, lets you use the mouse without it, this setup is recommended, and nobody will hold it against you.
>3: Game isn't designed around jumping and crouching, if you can't squeeze underneath something, or you can't cross a gap or reach a ledge by running off from another one, you're not meant to get there from here, either there's something else you need to do, or you're not meant to get there at all.
>4: Original game will not let you move above the heads of monsters below you, or underneath flying monsters, but on the other hand, monsters have to follow those rules too and will block each other in the same situation. Advanced ports refers to this as "Infinitely Tall Actors"

Beyond that, there's usually not that much substantial detail between different kinds of ports.

>>8347609
Halo 1 is definitely carried moreso by its multiplayer than the single-player. Are you using energy weapons to break the shields faster?

Halo 2's single player is a bit better since they add things like dual wielding and a bit more weapon variety.

>>8347689
>Are you using energy weapons to break the shields faster?
Yes. Shields aren't really an issue - there are just tons of enemies. Necessitating a slow, somewhat cover-based way of progressing through each level.

>>8347609
>At the time, I can see how it would have been unique. The scale would have been impressive.
>But I'm not a fan of the level design at all. I just got through Assault on the Control Room, and it is just a slog. The same rooms over and over. Far too long.
They're pretty awful and some of the worst I've played, a big sign at how cobbled together it was turning this RTS into an FPS.

>>8347718
Cover is the name of the game. The best strategy is to kite the enemies into a chokepoint and spam all the grenades you have, and failing that, just do the shieldbreak+headshot combo with the pistols.

>>8347609
I do like the first half of Halo CE a lot, but The Library and all the levels onwards I had to force myself to finish. The Library is an infamously extreme case of copypaste level design.

oh dear...

The guides in the OP are nice, but Quake's guide is lacking on map pack recommendations. I know the Quaddicted mention exists for this, but it would be great to have some in the guide already.

Changing the subject, what is up with Zerstörer's ending? Was it supposed to be a hook for a continuation or I really played through 7 admittedly fun levels just to be killed by pic related? Poor Ranger just exploded without being able to go HUH, it made me sad.

>>8347990
You're saying it only gets worse from here?
I did some searching, and a lot of peopl seem to have assault on the command centre as their all time top halo level. From all campaigns.
And I thought it was shit.

Man when I found out that the guys who made that large-scale Half-Life VR skit thing were pro trannies, and the one who was aptly named "Dr. Coomer" happened to be a tranny himself, shit sent me in a mental spiral.

also, the OP video guide is fairly comprehensive.

>>8348032
When did he say this?

>>8347996
I know this is more possible because it's a Quake 2 engine game, but I'm curious how possible Q3 to Q2 models are. Q2-Q1 is possible at least.

Anybody on Linux know if there's a bash command that tells gzdoom "just launch with this wad instead of opening a menu?"

I'm working on a small game launcher application and I don't want the extra step of first selecting the launcher, then the game.

>>8348112
same as windows, no?
gzdoom -iwad doom.wad -file sigil.wad

>>8348112
Linuxfag here, but complete noobtard, so your mileage with me may vary.
If you're talking about creating a Shell (.sh) file, basically a Windows .bat, then you'd simply use this:

exec <directory to program>/<name of program> -iwad <directory to iwad>/<name of iwad, incl. extension> -file <directory to file>/<name of file incl. extension>

If you want to make it where the source port and files are in the same directory, then use this:

BASEDIR=$(dirname "$0")

To set the "BASEDIR" as the directory the Shell file is in. Then you'd replace <directory to program> with ${BASEDIR}, plus any other sub-directories.

>>8348116
Yeah, that seems to work. Cool.
>>8348128
I know how to create a .sh file and everything. I wasn't sure what the actual format was for giving commands to gzdoom on launch because 'gzdoom -h' didn't give me anything.

>>8348132
It's the exact same irregardless of OS.
-iwad for selecting the IWAD file.
-file for selecting additional files
-config for selecting configuration files.
Not that hard.

Are mid '90s FPS just needlessly convoluted, be it because it was considered good design at the time, to pad the play time or because the developer was used to point and click adventure games in this specific instance, or am I just a colossal idiot?

>>8348215
I agree that today playing levels from back then can be frustrating because the player tends to get lost a lot. I think this is because the genre was brand-new. Levels were designed as like a big base or a place, rather than say creating a series of engaging combat scenarios. Because the art was new, mapmakers had not yet learned the need to convey where to go next, let alone how to do it well.

Most interestingly, I think, players themselves didn't even seem to notice this was a problem. I mean, I remember I beat Turok 2 on N64; I tried to replay it recently and I couldn't get past the first level because I didn't enjoy replaying the level over and over looking for that one mission objective that I need in order to progress, and that was with the new PC version that marks the mission objectives in the HUD! I think players themselves didn't notice because that's just how things were, and, today there are so many ways of getting an instant dopamine hit that not getting a fix because you're lost becomes a stressful experience

>>8348032
Why isn't it finalised yet? The project leads idea to wait until next year to make more maps to get up to 32 is idiotic. What if we don't get to 32 then? Wait another year?

Just end it now and do an Ad Mortem 2 next year if there's enthusiasm.

Less retarded than putting a project on ice for 11 months then hoping there's still enthusiasm to finish it.

>>8348107
Should be doable. You would just have to line everything up, merge into a single object, and merge vertices. Textures would be pretty autistic though.

>>8348843
>''less'' retarded
it's not, another 10-15 mapset instead of a complete set would be fucking stupid... what, your autism can't handle that amount of time? c'mon now
>hoping there's still enthusiasm to finish it.
i'm making a map for it rn lul

>>8348845
What tools can I use to achieve this? I'm already familiar with q2modeledit.

>>8348902
I'm just using Blender. You can't just slap a subdivision modifier on it though, since there's a poly limit. You'll need to select certain groups of faces (tits, ass, etc) that could really use extra detail and manually subdivide them. You can then add them to vertex groups and apply a smooth modifier to them specifically. You can also use a displacement modifier for extra... er, size.

>>8348894
Not just enthusiasm to finish it, enthusiasm to play it as well. And in the meantime we're losing all the people who refuse to play an unfinished version.

>>8348939
>And in the meantime we're losing all the people who refuse to play an unfinished version
Eggplant? He's the only one who refused to play it because of that. Not a big deal.

>>8348894
it's a "complete set" now.
a year from now, instead of full creative freedom you'll be stuck with a pointless obligation to bloat up a reheated mapset.

>>8348845
Rub a dub dub.
I don't care if Sin had problems, Elexis idea at least is fun. She could be her own protag in a game all about being a bitch kinda like an evil Bayo.

My 2 cents: Ad Mortem, and every wad for that matter, doesn't need 32 maps to be "complete." There's no need to stretch a wad with more maps, some of which likely will be filler or not up to par (the current set has this issue.) It would be wiser to polish what you already have. If you absolutely must have 32 maps, then maybe it would be better as a closed development thing like Temporal Tantrum that doesn't take the attention of the entire thread, because I'm sure at least more than one anon would prefer not to work on the same project again and instead do something fresh (i.e. 94 Protons, 25 Frags)

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_for_Game_Boy_Advance#Development
>Initially lacking any code from id, the company's programmers Bryon Nilsson and Matt Hopwood proceeded to produce their own custom 3D graphics engine for the Game Boy Advance over the course of nine months, and according to David Palmer, it was around 95% complete, needing only additional optimization to hit the 30 frames-per-second mark. However, John Carmack then located a copy of the Atari Jaguar source code, and he and Activision proceeded to demand that it be used instead of the custom engine that had already been developed. This set back development and led to what Palmer believes is probably an inferior product to what could have been provided
Based Carmack did it again

Thanks my dudes i finally got the game.

I guess i'll just have to give up or see if i can find some machine old enough to run it fine.

Don't know for that particular game but with DxWnd you can force OpenGl instead of old Direct3D, force windowed and more things like that useful for running old games. A little tricky to understand at first but almost always ends up running the thing.

Been a little bit since I bothered opening UDB and took a break after the Halloween event. Don't know if fixes are still being added, so I apologize for the lateness.

Here's some fixes for my map; Ad Mortem's Map29(slot 14):

Not sure why Temporal Tantrum is not green in your post, but yeah, you do have a point. Maybe it's the name? Have to admit Ad Mortem is a much better name than Temporal Tantrum. And I think keeping /vr/ out of the title makes it more normie-friendly.

Man that gets me back to the time when mods were sold by pirates standalone. For some reason, RTCW addons were hot for some time. I never saw anything like that with Half Life, for example.

>tfw in two years I'll be older than Doom

Beat Star Dark Forces Wars with some referencing the guide and the last few levels on easy, now idea how 90s gamers accomplished this on higher difficulty with keyboard controls, maybe the game actually becomes easier with aim assist or something. Onward to Jedi Knight!

>>8349891
>now idea how 90s gamers accomplished this on higher difficulty with keyboard controls
Mouse support has been a thing for most shooters since Wolf3D. Having a computer that could support the game AND mouse drivers at the time was a bit different but that was only an early/mid 90s deal.

>>8348593
Seethe about it, you moist bitch.

>>8349390
Ad Mortem has a fairly long term goal, apparently, so updates and new additions are still being accepted

>>8349902
Yeah you could theoretically set some sorta mouse controls in Dark Forces too, but it's a really weird setup that doesn't give you full mouse aim and basically only replaces the tank movement on the arrow keys with the mouse. Had to get a third party tool to set full mouse aim and disable the aim assist.

Here's the latest list of issues in Ad Mortem since there's still a bit of interest in further updates. Notice how the list has gotten smaller.
I think the dehacked problems are particularly important. Using the latest guns from last thread, the supershotgun makes a reload sound even when you're out of ammo and it sounds really weird. The other problems are easy fixes that could just be done by the project lead if the mappers don't do it themselves.

>>8349954
I made a fix for map01 a while ago, but I don't think there has been an update since.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jRF6BZ5OF-QLeY8YbChUjayO1PhZHbmE/

>>8349902
Mouse support was shit on vanilla doom. Almost no one played Doom that way bro.

>>8349947
>Yeah you could theoretically set some sorta mouse controls in Dark Forces too
It wasn’t theoretical at all, it has native mouse support. Just because you can’t look up and down easily doesn’t nullify that, and it was still better than keyboard turning.

>>8349968
Yeah, I figured there'd be something would be redundant. I was just playing the v3 version and ran across it.

>>8348215
I would say Dark Forces is a bit more convoluted than the average 90s FPS but not the absolute most convoluted (thats probably Hexen).

Fan service is not coomery anon. Like Elexis masturbating in her pool in a secret way.

Thats the kind of shit limp dicked people too look good say today, like the model is too "distracting".

Female models can look sexy if your tone is correct.


True coomer would be crossing the line and completely objectifying and making actual pornography.

>>8350051
>Fan service is not coomery anon
THIS is coomershit, don't kid yourself or anyone else. It's fine but fuck off, don't come off like the Citadel guy. Just accept you like tastelessly hot bimbos.

>>8350065
But that's the thing its just fan service anon. There should be a line here, sexy video game characters are not coomerism.

Coomerism is almost stepping into actual pornography.

For example tons of weeb anime has sexy babes, but its not coomerism, its entertainment made for guys, from guys. Characters themselves are never objectified and they usually kick ass like say Ivy or whatever.

Coomerism would be Ecchi shit and hentai, where you story and entertainment revolves entirely around SEX SEX SEX.

Elexis is fan service, or rather more simply, A fucking bimbo BABE, from times where male creative sexual energies was not verboten.

Can the lines between coomerism an fan service cross? For sure, its usually more on the fan side. The character itself in promo material can still be alluring without being coomer shit.

You don't have to post your drawing inside the grid with the rest. Just post your tile by itself lol.

>>8350135
Holy shit, >>8350838 anon, you made me realize something: If i can't do two way teleporters for the player, i can do that for enemies.
Meanwhile, at least by creating more basic "point A to point B" teleporting routes with new tags, i could take a hint from some Moonblood maps and lead to a backtracing concept of "yeah you can go back to that room, just gotta use a different, more specific path".

Custom textures will go a long way. You can find some good Doom-style city/domestic textures on Doomworld and ZDoom resource threads.

help bros, i remember playing a server on doomseeker that had a pwad that had a bar along the top of the screen that would unlock stuff in the level the more monsters you killed and secrets you found,
what was it??

>>8350969
Not the other guy but I think the question was more about layout and realism. It's a matter of designing buildings that make sense where you can't just slap together some nondescript rooms and hallways. Doom and most of its clones require no deeper motivation and immersion than "you're in this place, kill all the enemies and get to the exit", so it doesn't really matter what the environments look like in detail, and rooms and hallways don't need to have a specific scale or convey a certain function, they're just rooms and hallways.

Or is it just a plug and play kind of thing? Anyone happen to have a convenient download for it? Didn't see it in the OP MEGAs.

Now obviously Sunder is beatable saveless, but why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Gazebo plays his maps with saves? He's posted no demos or videos of himself playing anything to my knowledge, and several of the fights in Sunder are subject to RNG, which is just rage-inducing in the case of ultrahard maps that can take over an hour to complete.

>>8351938
Is it a rule to beat the map without saves?
Motherfuckers can meme about how they never use saves but they cannot do something like Sunlust the first time without saves. I probably would have gone insane multiple times if I had done it otherwise.

>>8351938
because he does? Gazebo doesn't have a reputation as a doomgod or anything like that. And by the way, good players play with saves all the time, because they're practicing parts of the map and figuring out strategies. The saveless gameplay comes when they're doing attempts.

Everyone knows Gazebo's maps are not impressive because of their fights - they are impressive because of their architecture, size, and visuals. Gameplay in some of them can be outright boring. There's no standout ideas in terms of encounter design, or gimmicks, or anything like that. It's hard due to the scope of the encounters.

Thankfully he's a big enough name that good players playtest the maps and offer feedback to save the gameplay aspect of them and not let them get too boring.

>>8351946
I think you are conflating two things.

Playing with saves because you want to experience a map casually is fine. Playing a map with saves first because you want to practice the encounters and figure out consistent strats is fine. Playing a map without saves after you've practiced is fine. Playing a map without saves without practicing to see how far you get is fine. It could be understood that if you beat a map exclusively with saves, you have beaten a map - if you have beaten a map without saves after practicing it with saves, you have mastered it.

Complete bullshit and you're a pleb for thinking that. The only WADs that came before it that have combat anywhere near as interesting as Sunder are Plutonia, Alien Vendetta, and the Scythe series.
Sunder's combat design is influential even today, being not only apparent, but the main source of inspiration in nearly every Ribbiks WAD.

>>8351973
Did you install the editor? https://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1245788567 and it being a PackageNotFound error implies that something hasn't been installed properly.

What's the level transition?

>>8351981
and Ribbiks did everything better. Anything by Ribbiks is much more fun and interesting to play than Gazebo's stuff. But Gazebo knows how to make very good architecture.

>>8351950

No, UnrealEd. Have a snoop around the System folder and see if you have Editor.dll, .int, and .u, and check paths in Unreal.ini. I don't know why it'd be freaking out about editor packages if you're not running the editor, though.

Also try opening up the console and seeing what's in there, might tell you some more shit.

>>8352103
I don't have an Editor.dll, .int, or .u files. Checking paths in Unreal.ini i see:

Paths=..\Maps\UPak\*.unr
Paths=..\Textures\*.utx
Paths=..\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=..\Music\*.umx
Paths=..\Meshes\*.usm

Maybe that's what's causing it. For whatever reason, it's looking for the Editor package I don't know why nobody else has complained about it though.

Try installing the OldUnreal 227i patch, that comes with UED2.1 and may fix the issue by adding the missing Editor files.

>>8352397
AM is an MBF21 mapset.

>>8352401
Oh then nevermind me then

>>8348973
I see the angle. Perhaps closing up development after the current maps have been fixed up is an idea worth considering.

I would however like to make a contribution to HFFM whenever that guy wants to do an expansion pack. I really loved it and I want to do a map for it some day.

>>8352403
>I would however like to make a contribution to HFFM whenever that guy wants to do an expansion pack.
This. HFFM: The Second Cumming when?
After 94 Protons, I hope.

>>8348952
I didn't even have time to contribute a map, I'm sure as hell ready to provide one for next year, be it in open development or closed development.
Reception has already been positive for what Ad Mortem is, I think it can get better still with fixing and more additions.

If anything, this is a useful experience to see how an approach like this will work out, we've never done a two stage project spanning a long period of time, and I'm interested in the end result.

>>8352412
I can only speak for myself, but I sure as hell won't be around all the time to fix my map over the course of a whole year. I agree with other people that we should call this one finished and have the new maps be an "addon" or "expansion" or just Part 2 or something.
It's not like there's only a limited number of projects that can coexist.
Also, any hype that could have been generated will have fizzled out until then OR there will be a hypetrain that jumps track the moment the mapset is released because people expected it to be the best thing since whatever the latest DBP would be.

>>8352375
Honestly at this point we have a more or less playable build out on the net that people have received positively. There's always room for improvement, but I'm not terribly worked up over the project lead bailing.

>>8352375
>>8352442
Worst case scenario we can have someone else patch in people's fixes and additions.

I'd appreciate it if they did something more than just say "i-it's still coming guys we swear!!!" at this point. I bet development hadn't even begun yet when they revealed it and Frederik was just playing a mockup in the trailer.

>>8352637
Is there a single 3DR project that hasn't been delayed?

>>8352637
Seems that acquisition of 3D Realms by Saber really shook up an already messed up situation. Ion Fury expansion may be in trouble but Wrath looks like it got fucked way harder.

>>8351619
Cool game.

>>8352189
Downloading the 227i patch directly from OldUnreal's website seemed to do the trick, although for some reason it renamed all my saved files to "SAVED GAME", which is only a minor inconvenience. Thanks for the help.

Sell me the mod please. I just don't know, new textures look like originals with more contrast, new weapons will most likely fuck the pace and be annoying (as expected with having too many weapons with little ammo since they are distributed between existing enemies) and for the engine emprovements, i'll just go with iortcw.

>>8346284
>Godot
I use godot for my project, not a sprite based FPS though, you can just drag and drop sprites in a 3D scene, throw some lights, and it just works, you can also use trenchbroom2 for maps, using https://github.com/QodotPlugin/qodot-plugin or just import wad with this https://github.com/DataPlusProgram/GodWad..
There some problems, for example, shader compiling, every time you load a new material in game the engine lags, so preload everything, Bullet physics is broken, do not use Bullet physics, use Godot Physics, you can select in the project properties.

Is there a way to host a public server on Doomseeker without having to go through one of those host websites? I want to play a server with friends not on my LAN

>>8352706
Not him, but you can choose a solid crosshair in the options for RealRTCW, which makes the gunplay feel a little "tighter", along with the buffed accuracy, recoil, and weapon balancing across the board (Luger, unscoped Mauser, and grenades are all way stronger). In the base game, the crosshair pulses while waving the gun around or while firing in order to denote what your weapon's cone of fire inaccuracy will be, but I've always found it obnoxious. Some automatics are more accurate than others, but all you gotta know is that crouching increases accuracy, as does firing in bursts. In RealRTCW, enemy AI is a little bit faster and more dangerous, especially on the higher difficulties, but with the new weapons/buffs, you're basically OP, and some sections that were previously notorious for being difficult are now manageable thanks to the inclusion of a shotgun.
Wolfenstein's a hitscan-based FPS series since Wolf 3D, and RTCW is no different, so if you're weary of that kind of thing, definitely play on a lower difficulty especially for a first playthrough. However, you got strafejumping, fast movement, and in the case of RealRTCW, a lot of overpowered weapons to deal with the challenge. The ioRTCW sourceport (which RealRTCW is built on) is the best way to play vanilla for sure, but RealRTCW is honestly a direct upgrade at this point. There are a lot of weapons in RealRTCW, but they're pretty well broken up in availability depending on the mission you're on. You're not going to have access to all of them throughout the game, and they fit the environments they're available in, so the variety freshens up the game a little bit.

I needed a walkthrough for the first level and then made it on my own until the mansion level (map31). What the fuck is that level.

anybody knows how to make a custom mod use custom mugshots?
like Im trying to import Trailblazer's mugshots to use them in my custom mod but I have no idea how to do that.
they have custom names and are stored into graphics and then mugshots
how do I tell the game to use these mugshots with these custom names?

>>8352425
>I sure as hell won't be around all the time to fix my map over the course of a whole year
i just don't get it, what other things do you have to fix in your map anyway? if it's finished then consider your work done and get over it. move on with your stuff, literally no one gives a single fuck if you want to make another map or not but let other people have choices and do whatever they want

it's kinda funny that it's first time we're doing something right and cacoward-worthy i can see people are still interested to see more stuff about it but instead of supporting this shit people just wanna give up and throw it into the trash like 'ok whatever release this buggy shit, make a sequel or something and move on to the next project, ok? haha' fucking pathetic

>>8352890
>if it's finished then consider your work done and get over it.
But that's exactly what I meant and also said in the next sentence.

This game came out in the same year as Blood btw

Okay I think I ironed out most of the kinks and the server is ready to go public

http://dailydoommap.org/

It provides daily generated shitty oblige maps and also lets you play the maps on the server through the script that automatically downloads them and runs zandronum (requires .net 6 runtime), feel free to join anytime you want to shoot demons together with anons

Any suggestions and improvements are appreciated except oblige I know the maps are mediocre, I'm waiting for obsidian to go stable

What do you expect, it's a /vr/ project. no wonder why they're so forgettable and nobody plays them.

>'ok whatever release this buggy shit, make a sequel or something and move on to the next project, ok? haha' fucking pathetic
If you want to keep working on Ad Mortem then go ahead and gather some anons from here and keep at it like with Temporal Tantrum. Some of us don't want to continue work on the project and that is something you're just going to have to accept.
>B-but muh cacoward!!!
Been there, done that + don't care

Does anyone have resources for a Christmas wad, especially textures? I have some old Christmas wads like DBPs that I can pick and choose my favorite sprites from, but I don't have experience making texture packs.

Because that's totally not being done with Ad Mortem, mhm.

>archie blinking through a bunch of teleporters
I tried this with Jawbreaker in HFFM, and I want to strongly advise against it, the AI just doesn't play well with this, Archie's gonna reset his aggro so he doesn't stop, and because of how fast he is moving between so many separate locations, it's very hard to hit him to get his attention (mind his low pain chance, too).
It looks cool visually with him blinking around, but it flows so fucking badly because he's a chore to fight. Jawbreaker grinds to a fucking halt whenever the player tries to take on the teleporter carousel. I almost want to go back and change that, but it's too late.

I would suggest only having him move between two locations at most, and the two of them being relatively close together, if you've gotta do it.

>>8352403
>>8352405
I want to do one. I think that I actually will plan it for after we make 94 Protons, because I think something which HFFM needed was more fast maps. Making hard, fast, and small maps like the original Plutonia for a Plutonia project I think will give people a better idea on how to approach making Harder and Faster maps for the HFFM expansion.

>>8353134
If not for large play space it would probably work, but in this case it didn't, so made this platforms into reventant turrets instead. Works much better.

Any news about the patchwork project?

>>8353152
Also, in case it'll give anyone any ideas, I removed every teleport line except for one facing outwards so arch-vile would have to decide to run backwards and bounce of the wall to teleport. This worked well to allow it to combat, but didn't work in a long run because it made fight annoying and unpredictable, while not giving enough output. I was also going to let it go down after a certain switch is pressed.

I will try to do it again in an area small enough that vile would be able to target player from any platform without risk of just zooming past.

You may trying looking up PUSS: 12 days of doommas, it used an entire set of christmas art, I believe.

>>8353206
its just a post with a couple christmas decorations dumbfuck

Mancs aren't appreciated enough as static decorations.

I just finished Two Betrayals in Halo CE.
Previously I thought assault on the control room was bad. Then the library.
But Two Betrayals really takes the cake. The entire level that I already disliked, again, just backwards? With more annoying enemies?

It doesn't feel like Halo CE was really "designed". No designer would propose creating a game like this.

I've been making levels for a few weeks now and I feel like I haven't improved at all. I'm slow as molasses and I don't know what makes levels interesting. Do you guys have any tips? How long did it take you to git gud?

I was paging through an old-ass doujin, and I see this fucking page. I don't know what the fuck to make of it, but I censored it so I could post it here, because what the fuck else can I do?

>>8350838
>>8353134
Or make the platforms wider so the archie has some space to move before hitting the teleport line. I'd also recommend some secret way to stop the blinking or crush the archie.

>>8353319
Take one level you made and play it like a total coward, hiding and snipping in every posible corners.

Then do the same absolutely rushing it.

Would you want to encourage that kind of approach to your levels ? What changes can be done to avoid that?

>>8353293
Halo isn't retro.


...Is it?

>>8353416

>>8353416
As much as I dislike it, Halo CE released in 2001.

>>8353419
>>8353416
>released in 2001
Wonderful, I love talking about one of my favorite shooters and it's a great 2001 game.

>>8353424
Are you serious?

>>8353427
Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am

>>8352710
Any time I add enemies inside GodWad maps there's massive lag. I think it's collisionshape related. No problems with TrenchBroom though.

>>8353440
I'd love to try a /vr/ mapping project for the original first or second encounter sometime in the future. It would be a wonderful mess.

I went from thinking the Quake 2 soundtrack is bad 90s metal to loving it

>>8353568
I prefer the N64 soundtrack more for the game but Sonic Mayhem is pretty good. His Battlezone soundtrack goes great with Q2, too.
Also: Consider playing Q1 with the Q2 soundtrack, it fits.

>>8353568
Its very light american metal. I forget the genre.
But its definitely good music especially when you compare games of the era or even modern ones.
A song from them was used in volgarr the viking a few years back

youtube.com/watch?v=2bvI51Hf1_s

Would fit perfectly with Quake


All my metal friends made\make fun of it. Then again they only listen to apocalyptic black metal shit from europe.

Which honestly its a pretty big hole of quality shit, I found recently metal bands whose names I never heard off with unbelievable good shit, its a shame their musics are trying to give me an heart attack constantly.
No i never go to /mu/. At the end of the day I go back to classical, prog and some synthwave like the good depressed hipster shit I am.

>>8353601
>I forget the genre
it's just industrial metal.

>>8353614
I wanted to say it sounds like megadeth or something.

>they released Blue Shift and Decay the same year as Halo, Serious Sam, RTCW, Red Faction, Clive Barker's Undying, Tribes 2, AVP2, Operation Flashpoint.
What were they thinking?

>>8353638
I’d probably think they’re nuts if not for being attached to the Half-Life IP.

Has anyone here UV Maxed Inverti in Darkness from Sunlust? The level itself isn't hard after some practice but I don't know how to tackle the Vile Closet and Cyberdemon with consistency.

>>8353638
Probably that they're just the small side entries they are, and that Half-Life 2 was on its way. That Half-Life 2 took more time than intended is another matte.
But yeah, Blue-Shift is basically just a decent but small level pack for Half-Life, while games like Return To Castle Wolfenstein were unforgettable classics.

>>8353710
yeah hi

the catacombs are a tricky room for sure. i remember a ribbiks post on dw saying it was one out of two rooms that are outright unfair in sunlust. no matter how you decide to approach it, it seems that the best way to start the fight off is by executing a trick with the SSG. the idea is that as soon as you hit the switch in your screenshot, you fire the SSG - so that the pellets have a high chance of causing the cyber to pain or stutter. this will prevent him from teleporting immediately, and will help you killing the archviles around him by causing them to infight. after that, some strategies involve escaping the crypt and coming back later, others stay and fight. but the SSG start to prevent him from teleporting is the most important thing.
