TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

ALONE ON A SUNDAY NIGHT? ON EASTER? GOD, YOU'RE based
COME ON DOWN TO THE SUNDAY NIGHT SHITSHOW! Tonight we're playing Revolution with the respective midi pack by Jimmy and co. Open up Doomseeker and connect with Zandronum and let's get this show on the road
51.161.34.159:10666
51.161.34.159:10666

Been playing Duke 3D for the first time. It's fun but my main issue with it is I think the weapon loadout kinda sucks. Your standard FPS fare is really generic and just okay (shotgun, RPG, chaingun) and a bunch of the higher end stuff feels too gimmicky for my tastes (shrinker, laser tripbomb, freezethrower)

>>8821320
I've never managed to make enemies trip the mines, they always avoid it. The Shrinker is OP though, because it incapacitates an enemy with a single shot, and then you can stomp them like the cockroaches they now are and be rid of them. I always zap fat commanders with it.

I like this handgun.

>>8821363
Thx, you'll be seeing a version of it in 94, which has the corrected ejection port. One day I want to apply that fix to pistol the sprites in 2048 and 2048GUNS, because I have a compulsive need.

WHY AM I SO SHIT AND UNCREATIVE REEEEEEEEE THIS IS TOO HARD

>>8821650
too based. can't reveal its existence to potential ungrateful plebs.

>>8821650
Favorite maps? Favorite game mode? Favorite weapon?

>>8821320
The freezer is one of those weapons thats good, but you never really feel the need to use it because there's always plentiful ammo for the normal bullet/explosive weapons.
The shrinker is very useful. It can even shrink mini battlelords.

>>8821774
It's okay, you're going to start out making shit. Just keep learning the tools and refining what you do know, and accept that you'll make simple mistakes a few times until you have the proper time to work through them properly.
Gambatte.

>>8821850
If you ever play enough to play on Damn I'm Good, all those weapons come in handy except the tripbombs. You need to destroy corpses or they respawn, so the freezethrower becomes useful. You may or may not have enough pipebombs to destroy all the corpses after gunning them down so you consume more rocket/devastator/shrinker ammo and the freezerthrower actually has very high DPS aside from the fact it can never deal a killing blow

>>8821926
Even the tripbombs are relevant on Damn I'm Good. They have the biggest radius of any explosive, so they're ideal for blowing up a lot of corpses when you'd rather save the other weapons for things that are still alive.

>considering Archviles, designed properly

>>8821970
Nothing really indicates it beyond CON diving or proper testing. Took me a good two decades of taking damage from tripbombs at ranges where I'd be safe from RPGs before I pieced it together.

i have a confession

i've begun playing every pwad on HMP because im getting tired of every map creator trying to one up plutonia and they flesh consumed

any good doom2 wads that i can use to get better at the game.

some of the bigger names are kind of hard fro me right now.

>>8822131
Unironically HFFM. I really felt like I've gotten better after beating it.

>>8819695
did you end up succeeding? try: Path=..\..\WADs
and keep in mind that it's relative to the working directory, not the exe

doom would be infinitely better without hitscan enemies,they aren't even memeable

>>8822143

>>8822172
Disgusting opinion.

>>8822172
Hitscanners are the ultimate casual filter, above anything else. Their role is one of the most important in the game.

>>8822176
I just want a monster pack that replaces zombiemen with proyectile enemies at least,hitscan is gay for my melee only weapon mods

>>8822196
If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself. Your melee weapon mods should start replacing enemies too to create a more cohesive gameplay experience. Like GMOTA.

I know it's a gimmick but navigating around with the flare and pistol in memeray Quake 2 is pretty fun

>>8822172
>they aren't even memeable
nigga you what

>>8822172
hitscanners in Doom are pretty perfectly implemented though. And you can avoid damage 99.999% of the time from them.
Even the tried-and-true "Wall opens up to reveal 5 Chaingunners" is counterable with having the Supershotgun out when you're exploring.

>>8822232
>map with a lone invisible hit scanner one kilometer away taking potshots at the player during the entire level

>>8822232
>putting a Chaingunner behind a mid wall 16 units tall
It's not easy being cheesy

>>8822221
even more fun in avp1
>>8822248
what about two opposite walls with chaingunners

>>8822280
Unless you're locked in or playing on nightmare, enemies all have windup animations.

>>8822196
Loads of them do that. Samsara's Eradicator enemies, HDoom, etc.

>>8822283
all of 0.1s, yes. that's why you open the closets when the player is half-way on a narrow bridge in-between.

>>8822293
it's definitely longer than that, and you hear the wakeup sound. Just back up.

>>8822295
10 frames. 0.28 of a second. not that much better when human reaction is concerned.

>>8822280
>avp1
whats this?
>chaingunners
eh the have their callout and you can one hit them in a row pretty fast. If there's a lot of them you can strafe to cover / try to orient yourself behind the remaining enemies so that they get hit and you're facing damage from less directions

>>8822295
a 256-wide gap cannot be reliably closed

>>8822320
>whats this?
marine campaign in the first Aliens vs Predator

>>8822359
I mean, it's just a shortcut to something you could theoretically practice with the mouse, Autoaim would even give you a margin of error if you did it that way.

>>8822364
you could also set the game's speed to 1%
hey, you can get there with practice right?

>>8822196
That other guy is right. You'd need to replace the monsters to help with that.
Though really having a purely melee only mod is an uphill battle to keep it engaging. There's a reason why I added subweapons and a bunch of other shit on top of GMOTA.
I plan on making a melee only sub-class for Combined_Arms for the last update. I'm gonna try a weapon durability system in there in the same vein as Muramasa. So they'll self repair when sheathed.

>>8822359
>>8822367
There are complevel 2 demos on DSDA that use the turn 180 bind and aren't marked as TAS. It's not even cheating.

this.

So like
Forsaken is just 6 dimensional UE right?

>>8822360
you're supporting his argument, really. any game with hitscan would be better without any.
hitscan provides no benefit over fast projectiles, it only gives designers plenty of room to fuck up.

>>8822364
No, you could not possibly instantly rotate 180 degrees with a mouse, no matter how fast your hand is. There will always be some latency.

>>8822551
I disagree. If you replaced the hitscanners in doom with fast projectile firing dudes, you'd be losing out on the enemy priority hierarchy. You can't reliably circle strafe hitscanners, and because of that you're forced to either shift focus on them or get the hell out of the way.
Without hitscanners, nearly every fight can be solved with circlestrafing, unless you made the fast projectile shooters lead their shots, but that opens up new problems. Revenants and Archviles have the same vital role of throwing a wrench into your plans.

>>8822602
>Without hitscanners, nearly every fight can be solved with circlestrafing,
But there are people that wish the game was like that.

>>8822602
if the projectiles are fast enough, you won't be able to circle-strafe either. except you'd at least gain attack direction readability over hitscan. reliable tracers would also solve any potential problems in leading the shots.
literally nothing wrong with circle strafing being reliable by the way. you're solving a non-existent problem.

>>8822596
Maybe not a mouse, but...

>>8822615
Yeah, and a lot of people don't like adapting or being pushed out of their comfort zone. Hitscanners are a valuable addition to a monster roster.

>>8822119

>>8822625
Doom and Quake know what's up. They have hitscanners in their roster but they also have them be the weaker enemies so that they're still a threat, and not an overly frustrating one.
It's interesting when grunts in Quake for instance are placed with other much more powerful monsters. I often find myself prioritizing grunts over anything else because of this (besides shamblers) despite the fact that they're technically the "weakest" enemy.

>>8823019
They seem to have established a decent “rule of thumb” regarding hitscanners: Keep them easy to kill like zombies, grunts, and guards. If they’re not easy to kill, make their attacks easier to avoid like with archviles and lots of Q2 enemies i.e. gunners, enforcers and gladiators.

>>8823019
>shamblers
That's the problem. Shamblers are effectively hitscanners too.

>>8823109
They're definitely not a bad example of a hitscan enemy though, they take time to launch the attack and there's the strat of forcing them to melee attack which is satisfying to execute correctly.

Speaking of hitscanners - Tarnsman's Hitscan Hell when?

>>8823109
Well if the level designer isn't a retard then he will usually provide cover when a shambler is encountered.
Also no I refuse to dance with the shambler, I don't know how to dance

>>8823109
They’re a bit of an exception with the way you can bait them in melee. I have far more issues with avoiding vore projectiles on nightmare.

>>8822817
I got too mad at this schizokino Q2 mod randomly crashing on me, so instead I'll check out both VR and the updated Alkaline mods for Quake - gotta get a hang of how mapping for Q1 supposed to feel anytime soon
>can't decide if typos in the /VR/ help screen (F1) are sovl or not

>>8823204
I just came back to /doom/ after 6 months off and I'm psyched to try this new quake content, especially violent rumble. Just finished playing the retro jam 7 and the last Halloween jam and they are both very high quality. The Halloween jam is my favorite of the two as it uses AD resources. The bar for quake user content seems to just keep rising.

>>8823204
>implying "versitile" is not a word
>implying the transparent pixels aren't intentional
Also that looks overly dark, and you probably want to use something that supports CSQC for the HUD.

>>8823216

>>8821774

On a related note, maps are getting big, pic related is impressive.

>start map is 150 MB

>>8823364
>his start map doesn't have multiple 8K lightmaps
ngmi

>>8823316
there are some issues in the release version that only happen in QSS/FTE, but not in the regular QS or vkQuake.
here's a patch if you don't want to wait for the proper full update (rename to pak1): https://files.catbox.moe/c1002h.pak

>>8822172
the thing is that in og doom, they're implied to have the same weapons as the player
hence why they drop ammo or guns upon death

>>8823370
I feel that going all willy-nilly with lightmaps and textures 4k and above will make the Quake Engine and its derivatives go screwball with crashes and slowdowns.

Hexkino

>>8822251
That would be so easy to do even in Vanilla, and it would be so ridiculously obnoxious too.

What are some other things you could do with monsters in Vanilla? Stuff which annoys the fuck out of the player but which isn't an instant assrape deathtrap.

>>8822602
Agree.

>>8822618
There's nothing wrong with circlestrafing, it's great, but it's boring if you can solve the majority of engagements with that old pylon turn.

The fact that the hitscanners force you to act differently from the rest of the monsters which throw slow projectiles I think is what makes them really good. The fact that they're not always easy to dodge when they open fire is offset by their low health and their high risk of infighting.

>>8822119
Difficulty levels working as intended.

>>8823463
a bunch of pickups all around an arena, forcing weapon switching.
also for arenas, put enemy spawn points right on the player's path with no markings.
put some barrels under a platforming path.
PEs on a RL map.

>>8823109
Yeah, and they telegraph their attack hard, and can also be baited into melee very reliably, in which case the Super Shotgun is excellent.

Shambler is an excellent enemy, and his running cycle looks hilarious.

>>8823130
If they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.

>>8823354
>>8823370
Impressive, very nice.

>>8823392
Thanks for the heads up.

>>8823496
>>8822119
I understand there are two schools of thought around difficulty levels.
1) "hard" is what the creator intended and playing on lower settings you're getting a cut down experience
2) It's reasonable to assume skill of players follows a normal distribution, which means a majority of players should be playing on normal difficulty. If the majority play on hard, it's merely undergoing difficulty tier inflation.
Of course, this is ignoring the time factor, eg the player bases' skill level has increased over time for these games.

>>8823520
>Of course, this is ignoring the time factor, eg the player bases' skill level has increased over time for these games.
The interesting about that for Quake at least is that I find older maps to be generally harder than newer ones, particularly because of some outdated design practices that are thankfully discouraged nowadays (trigger spawns in your face, monster closets, etc).
So I'd say Quake maps nowadays can still be difficult but at least in a fair way compared to before, though there are exceptions of course.

>>8823439
Where's this from?

>>8823463
Nothing to do with monsters, but you could have a voodoo doll lower onto a rocket launcher when the player is about to fight some monsters up close.

>>8823331
>>8823296
So far, so damn good.

>>8822394
>and aren't marked as TAS
They ought to be. A source port with new features is a hell of a tool.

>[Completed]
What a nice touch.

>>8823569
The best start maps for Quake jamps do that kind of thing or they use a different color for the portals whose levels you've beaten. Unfortunately I don't make much use of that because I forget to save after completing each level so progression is not saved, which has locked me out of some secret levels that I manually had to boot up.

>>8823185
Do Vore shots home in faster on Nightmare?

Lets eliminate all of Lovecrafts contributions too then. Quake included.
I'm always baffled and astonished ad this kind of double standards.

>>8823710
hope you can find what's missing, I'm interested as well

he died long ago and his stuff is public domain
but people ignore both the mental illness and economic factors or how he got less racist over time
he probably has more in common with internet "incels" or depressed autists on the internet than jk rowling
if he existed today, he might as well end up having what you call "troll's remorse", so no need for "hatsune miku made cthulhu"

>>8823746

>>8823749
wikipedia even mentions lovecraft initially supporting hitler because he thought he was just preserving german culture until he saw him kill jews
he also seemingly supported roosevelt and married a jewish women
it seems most of his views on race or politics have to do more with "culture preservation" and he didn't hold up all whites in high regard, at least the british
then again, i recall him being afraid of shit like penguins or something

Welp. It's not like Renard was even remotely sane, like ever, but at least his old music was really good sometimes.

>>8823712
I don't know man, the reason Term had a fit and left the general ZDoom community was because he was continuously sexually harassed by someone and mods refused to do anything about it.
There's at the very least one sex pest around those parts, but probably a couple more.

As for art, I feel like the one thing filtering me from that is the fact I don't have a drawing tablet, and I'd rather not use a mouse; I do have an iPad w/ pencil, so maybe I can rig that up as one somehow.

One wad I played kept dangling a desperately needed rocket launcher, but each time you went to get it a door would slam shut or the floor would zip down and make it inaccessible. It was gay and frustrating but in a funny way.

I had an idea for a megawad where you're like, the last demon in hell and have to stop an invasion from earth and fight soldiers and warmachines. Doom's plot but in reverse.

I'm 100% sure this isn't an original idea is there any such attempt at this concept made already?

>>8823905
all i know is that his oc was like one of the earliest shark girls but even then, i don't think he "owns" the genre in the same way games workship wants to own the term "space marine"
but nothing is stopping you from making a doom mod with a shark girl
or any other furry or scalie girl
or an orc girl
or a goblin girl
or a ghost girl
or a zombie girl
or a vampire girl
or an oni girl
or a demon girl
or an angel girl
or a robot girl
or a plant girl
or a clown girl
or even cunny uooooohhhh

>>8824068
There are a few "play as the demon" mods but I don't recall any of them having you fight humans.

>>8824073
You wanna know something more weird,
No bunny girl mod, where you play as daisygal with your pet human doom.

>>8824114
I really should finish this, I cannibalized it for my HDest skin, and what I did towards that could easily be repurposed.

>>8824068
There's been a few attempts but they've all been gameplay mods/enemy replacers/small gimmick mapsets. I don't think anyone's actually done the Hell->Techbase idea with an entire mapset + new resources

>>8823751
But for what?

>>8823783
That can't be it, there's lots of those on ZDF.

Holy shit, Ribbiks wads on HMP are so much fun.
They tick all the boxes for me, they are in my skill ceiling, they are casual enough for me to play saveless pistol start without attempting hundreds of times the same maps while also being difficult enough to allow some skill development.
That Swim With The Whales MAP02 starting area is the best type of mean trap.
Also, some of his more "obscure" stuff really makes me believe that he's more of a Nicolas Monti fan than he lets on.

>coloured lighting on Q1
Heres~OVL!
I opt to mainly use QSs cause the VR testmap player in Mk5 (and majority of open-area maps in other mods desu) tends to run @ single-digit FPS on my shitty toaster of a netbook, is vkQ a more demanding sourceport compared to QS(s)?

So many differing feels…

>>8824626
Ironwail is the fastest Quake fork by far, but it only supports what vanilla Quakespasm does (so no custom HUDs & no fancy particles).

>>8822172
Only Doom 2 would benefit. Doom 1 has perfectly balanced hitscan enemies.

>>8824386
Not that guy but I wouldn't rank Red Faction very high up there in terms of quality. When's the last time you played it? Because the geo mod thing is discarded shortly after the start of the game in favor of corridor shooting, there's that whole shitty stealth thing and then the game really takes it in the ass towards the end where you're mainly fighting those bastard railgunners that can one to two shot you through walls.

I had fond memories of the game too but I regretted revisiting it.

>>8824075
Yeah, there's the Hearts of Demons mods, and enemy packs like Doomless(?).

>>8823905
When you say shark girl, what's the human to shark ratio?

>>8824747

>>8824946

>>8824948
I already told you it won't. vkQuake 1.13+ does support both and it's still quite a bit faster than QS. Older vkQuake did not support the meme zoom

>>8824750
>human to shark ratio
Probably the same as the human to dragon ratio as Cygnis from Guncaster. Still debating whether or not she should have hair or not.
>>8824793
>canine snout and elf ears
Yeah no. I also want to say that that design trope sucks and is a result of furfags being incapable of drawing anything other than neon wolf #1,641,738

If anything, the whole mod's inspired by Guncaster, Lt. Typhon, and High Noon Drifter. More so on that last one after I decided to do a run with it with the Hell on Earth Starter Pack, but instead of playing through it normally, I gave myself the Mask of Basilissa right at the start and toggled infinite Basilissa summon; going through the entire megawad as The Waifu(tm). It was actually pretty damn fun, especially that map where you and a hundred marines storm that castle before Chapter 3, shit made me feel like a god.

Like imagine being some fucking random soldier about to die, only to be saved by some 8+' tall heroine who might as well be one of the things you're fighting.
THAT'S the feel I'm going for here.

>>8823216
Hey dude, just a heads up since I recently also got back into Quake, but the older Halloween Jams(not sure if newer one as well) for some reason are missing out all the necessary particle effects for the guns and enemies and you'll get errors within the console saying "this tr_blablabla effect should be precached in spawn". You need to get the effectinfo.txt from Arcane Dimensions 1.7 and the particles folder. Also, if you see a map by a guy named ing or inging, skip out on it until the end. That guy deliberately turns off shotgun projectiles in his map and you need to either manually turn them on via console commands(using an autoexec and binding a key to refresh temp1 and saved1-4 values works fine) or restart the game.

Shadow Warrior is actually a gorgeous game at times.

The level design is amazing. My only complaint is the massive explosive splash damage

>>8825163

>>8825238
my biggest complaint is the way hitscanners are implemented (no warmup and a lot in open areas so you end up getting hit) and the hit detection for the sword is super precise so it can be hard to do cool attacks

So? Whatever this guy worked on could be disclaimed by himself. I don't know how the modding community operates, but you have no ownership of what you make for a company, so you can get fired for having bad ideas while they can keep your stuff in good conscience.

>>8825357
define "recently". there's a new official episode, for one.
Punishment Due might be my last year's fav.
Alkaline is the big recent release, but you don't need me to find it.

>>8825556
It's a cereal surprise game aimed at 5 year olds, it's remembered for being surprisingly competent compared to other brand tie-in games of the time, but that's because it's just Doom reskinned

>>8825618
Wait. You played one level, used the give all cheat and then dropped it? That's no different if you did it with any .WAD then.
I'm not saying Chex Quest is amazing or anything, but playing the first level and then proceeding to cheat and get bored with it is a pretty shitty move.

>>8825556
It's alright, honestly. Played through the original first two games as well as all three episodes of Chex Quest 3 a few years ago for the first time and I enjoyed it a fair amount. It's not bad for a free kid-friendly Doom reskin. Each episode only has 5 maps so it won't take you too long to play through the whole thing. Music isn't spectacular or anything but not bad, I especially like this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j65dwIhysbE
Someone also made a remix of it which I like quite a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgk3379nRrU

>>8825649
not at all. the only reason you ever use idkfa is if you want to move on with your life from a bs level, or the wad sucks ass and you just want to check out the weapon reskins. if it was interesting i would've played through it, but it fucking blows lol

You guys are such crybabies.
I like playing brutal doom like once every year or so for like an hour in maps that I've already played a million times and you still lose your minds over it.

I'm sorry that I'm having fun

I started playing Blade of Agony. It's fucking really great. It reminds me of Stronghold which I liked alot.

Anyways doing any search on it brings up forum wars about deadnaming trannies and a part of episode 3 killing holocaust zombies being another literal Shoah and the lead designer is a literal Hitler or someshit.

Anyways, I read another travesty was that Greta Grosse's tits flop out during the death animation but I can't find it. Anyone have it?

>>8825960
>I like playing brutal doom

Not fine.

>>8825967
Did you have any logic problems with Overlord (C1M3, I think)? I got lost for a while looking for the last 88 because they said "don't go on the beach" and I believed them.

3.1.0 only wants to go fullscreen on my secondary monitor which is in portrait and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I couldn't find anything in the ini, I tried swapping which port my monitors are connected to, and even rearranging the position of the displays in windows.

I do 'hey not too rough' routinely because custom wads anymore especially vanilla, UV and HMP are still made for ultra-sweaty Gen-X guys who have been dooming for 30 years and can mindlessly solo a revenant with a pistol.

OG game was meant for everyone. Your gay aunt can play. UV in the original game meant you have basic skill anyone like 20 years later is presumed to have.

>>8825103
If anything it's harder with a controller. So they beat the game even more.

>>8825990
No. You definitely have to go on the beach there is a gun bunker waay up north and you gotta clear a few machine-gun nests. You just can't get close to the water.

It looks like a death trap but not bad, just stay as far away from the water as you can and use the #5 rifle weapon to snipe until you get to the bunker.

Bunker has crazy scary sound effects but just shoot them, it's a dead-end and it's otherwise empty.

>>8822119
>every map creator trying to one up plutonia and they flesh consumed
The reason I'd say thats the case is because Doom 2 on UV generally isn't all that hard once you get a hang of the basics, so many mappers have decided that such gameplay does not fit the definition of "hard" mode anymore.

I'm trying to fit a whole map into a webm.

>>8826060
That would unironically fit with GZDoom mods with freelook, bullet tracers etc.
Maybe use a phonk playlist for zoom zoom simulator.

A couple

Ironbolt anon, still around?
I've run some tests, with interesting results (or maybe boring and expected idk). two comparable PCs: a 6-core intel, and a 6(12)-core amd. all tests on skill 2. "idle" = starting position, "alerted" = with a quad spent crowd surfing over one half of the map.
>IW/amd: 80 fps idle, 8-15 fps alerted
>IW/intel: 12 fps idle, 5 fps alerted
>FTE/amd: 25 fps idle, 1 fps alerted
>FTE/intel: 90 fps idle, 10-20 fps alerted
>FTE/intel, r_dynamic 0: 10-50 fps alerted
I'm definitely not getting anywhere near 300fps, idle or not. >>8798123 how's the weather in supercomputer-land, Mr.Carmack? for me both engines max out one core on intel, but only fte manages to do this on amd.
so what gives? did I miss some cvar, and why opposite results between CPUs?

>>8826428
https://mega.nz/file/YHByHagD#N8vKfR5iMLKNCsKDzcf4KHmg8mnQWEc125z4ePyuicc
here's the updated map with split spawns and more reliable exit counters. had to remove the gugs though, couldn't handle that much quake.
on skill 1 it's now possible to record protocol 666 demos and play them back in regular QS. I've made a couple of attempts at recording a vkQuake-compatible demo in FTE, but gave up. some cvars seem to suggest that it's possible, but it's the usual FTE config maze.
if you think this is as good as we're going to get, and don't mind me including your engine tweaks, I'm eventually posting this to quaddicted.

>map forces you to pick up inferior armor to proceed
Never do this is you make a Quake map.

>>8826573

>vkQuake supports Q2
>no Xatrix/Rogue missionpack compatibility
What's even the point then?

>>8825556
Its a bit too kid friendly, even on "UV", which can make it really boring, only part 3 is in some moments at Doom 1 HNTR level, everything else is just too easy. The level design(especially in part 2 and 3) is suberb though and feels a bit build-like because it imitates real life buildings, very nice visuals - it just feels much more competent than other commercial addons and PWADS of that era, but as I said before, its just not much of a challenge
Since I already completed it vanilla if I were to do it again I'd slap some wacky mods on top of it for better replay value and for it to actually pose any challenge, I recommend you to do the same

>>8826428
Oh shit, yeah I just tested on Intel and it shits the bed. This is strange because even a mobile Zen2 with 4MB of cache runs "ok".
I run it under a profiler and all of the time is spent on SV_ClipToLinks, basically entity-to-entity collision, quadratic cost (so 4444 is sort-of-OK, 6666 not so much).
This was already accelerated by doing binary subdivions of the level bounds by AREA_DEPTH (originally 7). I tested all values 4-15 on Intel and 10 seems to work best, AMD also likes it. I also limited the server tics to 11 Hz (from 72). It kind of works OK now on Intel, server tics still take 60ms (oof) but a lot of frames are squeezed in-between (jittery as fuck).

Give the revenant olive green armor and a pilot's helmet. Bam, secret level enemy for 94 Protons, just like the Pumpkin marines in Ad Mortem. Please don't actually do this it's taking long enough already.

>>8825279
>I didn't know the character skins had different attributes and was walking around as an overweight 8ft tall alien.
I don't remember them having different attributes. The original release just had humans, because that's the plot. Gold let you play as a hybrid skaarj which I thought was just the same as a human, play wise. But it's been a while and I almost never picked him.

In ut99 goty you can play as a nali cow.

So what is /vr/'s stance on Ashes 2063?

Is it possible to pull off with MBF21?

I always dreamed of porting the beam/nova skeleton from Castlevania into a revenant variant: one way would be a very long winded single railgun/archvile blast(railgun only in zdoom I guess) - what would set him apart from archie is lack of ressurection, revenant movespeed, lower health, shorter windup than archie and less dmg probably.
The other way would be to give him a very low painchance slow windup into a heretic dragon claw tome of power attack barrage that would last for a couple of seconds

>>8827196
There's railgun revs in some enemy mods already. They're pretty devastating actually since it seems they're hitscan.

>>8827187
There's some weird limit with shootable revenant tracers in vanilla, where they can't have any more than one hit point, otherwise shooting them changes the player to the missile's origin and they phase right through you. You might be able to avoid this by using a different homing method available in MBF21/DEHEXTRA, like King Boner's rockets, but I'm not sure.

Blood is a bad game. It's fundamentally broken with it's hitscan enemies.

Blood apologists even admit the only way to play the game is to literally learn the placement of every enemy on the map.

>>8827225
>suck at game
>say it's bad
Why are you people like this?

>>8827204
>They're pretty devastating actually since it seems they're hitscan
Problem with enemy mods is they're not really suited for every map you play, if you had an enemy mod or enemies you made yourself(like we had in Ad Mortem) and then made maps with them in mind, you could achieve some pleasant inventive maps

>>8826428

Since the problem is the server (not the renderer) and Quake more or less can handle servers running at 10 Hz, and the FTE protocol supports this map (unlike Ironbolt which can't really network), you can run the server on a separate process:
vkQuake(-area10) -quoth -game bolts -dedicated 1 +sys_ticrate 0.09 +skill 2 +map bolts
and then
vkQuake -quoth -game bolts +connect localhost
In vkQuake AREA_DEPTH is 4 so it chokes on Intel like a bitch, so I made a build with it set to 10 (technically only the server needs this): https://files.catbox.moe/xjixr0.7z
This allows you to play at hundreds of FPS (mostly) judder-free as long as the server manages to hit 10 Hz. I think some effects and sounds do go missing though.

>>8827229
The game sucks more like. I literally just beat Shadow Warrior (which has amazing combat) and I come back to this piece of shit with it's awful cultists.

Absolute shit game. Cope.

>>8827225
You are a stupid bitch. Blood's hitscanners are basically the only enemies that keep the game playable. Everything else struggles to even function, let alone pose a threat.

>>8827253
Sounds like a bad game to me. Where the enemies are so bad they had to overcompensate with hitscanners that take 1/4 of your health the frame they come on screen.

>>8827225
>Blood apologists even admit
Don't they usually say how jumping and crouching mitigates the cultists gunfire?
>>8827250
>Cope
Ah nevermind, you're not arguing in good faith

>>8827260
That's a urban myth that people say. It has no real effect.

>>8827258
Go back to /v/.

>>8827258
Yes, Blood is a bad game because everything that isn't a cultist sucks. Cultists are fun to fight and actually threatening and the game's arsenal gives you interesting options to handle them without taking damage. That's the fun of Blood, blowing up the silly marinara men with dynamite and napalm and watching them go flying into the sky, or hosing them down with two tommy guns, or setting them on fire and watching them burn. Nobody thinks it's any fun to kite helplessly slow fishmen around in circles, or to wait for a gargoyle to stop being completely retarded and actually attack the player instead of flying around aimlessly, or to effortlessly clean up swarms of tiny vermin monster #7.

Good Doom 2 vanilla megawad recommends? I've played most classics but maybe I've missed some.

>>8827185
It's great. I would say it's on a commercial project tier. Love the little callbacks, also just the right amount of T&A also, feels like a proper game that rolls with a pulpy vibe.

I always defend Ion Fury from people that call it "boring" but I feel like there's a certain "zazz" that is in Ashes 2063 that I'd like to see in Ion Fury as well, a bit more "pulp" vibe ya know ? Also t&a, respectfully.

Also jesus, I finished Redneck Rampage main game not too long ago and I have such mixed feelings about it. I like the silly "deep south" vibe they go pretty hard in on but some of the 'puzzles' and key hunts are "are you fucking kidding me???" tier even compared to other build shooters. Usually I think ecelebs are gay retards but I felt really vindicated watching Civvie11's vid of RR main game and having him tear into the same exact things I was frustrated with, like the keys and the doors they open feeling very unnatural and that AWFUL sewer level.
Here's to hoping that Redneck Rampage Rides Again is a bit better.

nice, I'll check it out in about an hour.
but re: FTE demos, I tried sv_demoextensions 0, tried cl_loopbackprotocol fitz, tried sv_protocol_nq 666, tried allow_downloads 0. loopback thingy allowed demos to be played in QS, but then the enemies in Bolts don't get spawned. other commands didn't have much effect (i.e. e1m1 demos wouldn't load in vkQ). I may have tried other things as well, don't remember now.

>>8823746
>who was it and what have they done?
>nothing really is specified too

In those cases where they don't disclose the reason they know that the general public would likely think the reason is some form of dumb thoughtcrime persecution.

Basically they're afraid that people could agree with the person they're kicking out the door for wrongthink.

>>8827287
Blood is bull shit but it's highly entertaining, visceral and snappy bullshit where the enemies lay waste to you unfairly hard but DAMN it's satisfying to have a good run and just smoothly mow down / blow up those asshole enemies, hear their death cries and watch gibs and blood sputters fly across the damn map.

>>8826217
I love this map like you wouldn't believe, bros

>>8827321
You're right about RR. I like it, but skip the sewer level.
Kinsie made a mod so the keys were larger and colored iirc. If there were a mod to fix the autoaim that would about do it for me. The other maps have their highs and lows, but nothing terrible really.
Just skip the sewer. It's boring, annoying, and lame.

>>8826217
You seem to have succeeded.

Where's DLSS library for prboom-rt? I don't see on github page.
Was it removed for some reason? Game works fine without it, but still.

>>8826217
>>8827386
>download webm
>load into source port

Back to the drawing board.

>>8827376
I did the entirety of the main game already (on Killbilly btw). I didn't flat out cheat but I had to look up the final bit on youtube. Also I ran into that glitch later in the game that causes one key locked door to just simply not open up. And since I was on Killbilly no cheats. But I got past it because there's a jump that allows you to skip that part of the level so hooray?

I played the first two levels or so of the Redneck Rampage Rides Again and it feels a lot better, new enemy types, the bike is neat and overall it feels like it's playing to the game's strengths... and the second level did that terrible thing where you get the key later in the level and have to backtrack all the way back to the start just so you immediately get another key and artificially extend what could've been a nice breather level.

Oh well, it's still good when it's good but it's weird how Redneck Rampage is like the only Build Shooter to really miss the mark on the key / door issue when all of the other ones do it reasonably well.

Also Ashes 2063 slaps and I want to get Ion Fury Aftershock haha.

>>8827258
Shadow Warrior suffers from the same problem. The ninjas are the best enemy. Without them you'd only have:
>Two melee fighters that are easy to bully
>A suicide bomber
>The bomber's ghost that fires a pretty easy to dodge projectile and can be bullied before it spawns
>Chicks with crossbows and sticky bombs, very easy to bully with rockets
>The big ogre fuckers that shoot fireballs
>Bees
>Fish

I'm not counting the bosses that get demoted to more common enemies the further you get in. Shadow Warrior relies on its ninjas as much as Blood relies on its cultists. Hell in some ways Shadow Warrior is even worse about this due to the missile firing ninjas and the Shadow Ninjas that can fire wide rapidly exploding fireballs.
And I say all this when I rank Shadow Warrior as my favorite build game. I fucking love fighting the Ninjas, and I like fighting the cultists.

>>8827430
The difference is the ninjas don't snipe you the microsecond they appear on screen. They're fair and not broken. Even the invisible nuclear bomb ninja is more fair and balanced than a single brown cultist. Cultists are that bad.

>>8827398
earlier engine binaries also got removed. the link that was previously there:

>>8827441
>The difference is the ninjas don't snipe you the microsecond they appear on screen.
The ones that crouch and take cover do this. They also don’t have a turnspeed you can outrun like the cultists in Blood.
I find it hard you’re having trouble with Blood on Lightly Broiled (i.e. Normal) and below. That’s when cultists get their accuracy gutted.

>>8827462
The ones that take cover don't take 25 health per shot. And their fire is stammered by ducking in and out of cover.

Shadow Warrior is a good game.
Blood is shit.

>>8827225
>blood’s harder difficulties are harder than other build games so it’s bad
Many such cases. If you can’t cope with having to play the lower difficulties just play with GDX or Fresh Supply.

>>8827185
Very very good. Main theme is a remix of the “Phantasm” theme so it also has the best soundtrack.

the real arcane dimensions was the ter shibboleth we made along the way

>>8827495
Who's Eli suppose to be?

>>8827430
Those are all good enemies besides the bees and fish. Of course enemies are easy to defeat with the rocket launcher.

>>8827445
Thank you, just stumbled upon the same link on Serious Sam RT page. Doesn't seem to work though, still no option in the menu. I guess it was removed for a reason after all.

Don't be afraid to use explosives a lot. Your projectile weapons in Duke all kind of suck against everything but basic enemies tbqh.

>>8827225
I only dislike Blood for the fact how unlike in Duke3D/SW theres no way to slowly heal-up for free and the completely randomized chance a LifeEssence drops from killed enemies

I was warned about a ban for giving my honest opinion on a videogame.

What the actual fuck is wrong with the mods on this site?

Fuck you, janny. I'm going to go play a GOOD game called SHADOW WARRIOR

>>8827602
Because you aren't arguing in good faith. It was obvious and we hope you learned your lesson. But looks like not.

>>8827512
Huh? They have nothing to do with each other.
But TerShib was surprisingly enjoyable for a "meme" mod except that broken crusher in shib4 holy shit

>>8827185
I still don't understand the differences between difficulty levels in this.

>>8827638
Relaxed gives you 25% Damage Resistance, less aggressive enemies, easy spawns, and healing items auto-use when you need them.
Standard is normal spawns, no modifiers.
Arcade is hard spawns and more aggressive enemies.
Survival is normal spawns, but you take double damage, enemies have 75% health, and you get half ammo.
Apocalypse is hard spawns, more aggressive enemies, and you take double damage.
Just open the file in SLADE and read mapinfo.txt if you don't understand a TC's difficulty options.

>>8827519
Maybe a reference to book of Eli ?
Not sure really.

>>8827552
The Life Essence drops are still pretty plentiful and a lot of levels have medical bags etc.

>>8827638
Doesn't it give you a little blurb of each difficulty and what they do when you pick them but before you confirm it? It's been a few months since I played it so might be remembering wrong.

>>8827670
So arcade and survival are roughly the same in terms of difficulty...? Is apocalypse meme tier difficult or perfectly doable?

>>8827670
Good stuff

>>8821192

This is probably a long shot but I'm trying to find a very old doom wad that I played in my youth. From what I remember, the only two distinctive modifications were posters of topless woman on the walls and the music was like a midi version of Fade to Black from Metallica. The rest of the game felt the same? I don't remember much else, I think I played it in 1995/1996. It could also be from Doom 2, but I'm not sure.

- Doom (probably Doom 2)
- Posters of topless woman on the walls (no porn, just topless)
- Fade to Black from Metallica
- Around 1995/1996 (could be a couple years later too)

I know there are a million doom wads out there but still worth a shot.

>>8827728
Who is this cutiepie?

>>8827552
Those life essence drops are set and guaranteed, not random. Sometimes they’ll be attached to the civilians , if you’re low on health be sure to kill them and see.

>>8827750
it is that, from craneo too
he's also throwing away his spriteset of the dreadknight because he's working on some satyr spriteset, that he could use for a dreadknight spriteset reboot
he also showed a lot of sprite versions of other fps enemies from serious sam, half life and halo but it was just concepts

>>8827728
Wooo, very nice. I hope one day we'd also see Doom 3 Pinky just as good as this Caco.

>>8827247
>10 Hz
shit, man, that's some real OnLive experience. I guess it's technically a solid 144 fps, but it was unplayable. tried ticrate 1/36 instead and it played much better aside from missing sounds and RJs being less reliable. server crashed on one attempt though. this should work with demos and everything then, huh?
the area10 Ironbolt build runs on intel at 50fps idle, 10fps alerted. on amd it's now 60fps idle, 10-50fps alerted. I understand this is basically the same as the 10Hz server setup, hence the stutter? I'll try intel with just the area_depth changed next.

I still don't understand why the same CPU would run one engine faster, but the other dramatically slower. is this for some operations or what? the dreaded SPECTRE countermeasures? beyond vidya, would this affect physics sims and stuff? anyway, specific CPU models on pic related, that's with last week's Ironbolt (top=FTE, bottom=IW).

also speaking of vkQuake, seems they broke bmodel lighting again. what the hell man.

>>8826986
to be fair,build ports (other than maybe raze) are alot closer next to ports like GZ,DSDA and eternity.

>>8827776
craneo did something like that but based over a pitbull pinky spriteset someone once made

Is it weird to have "Town" in a name for a level that is basically one oddly-shaped building? The idea evolved, but I just like the pun I came up with too much.

>>8827808
Put some buildings on the outside of the level visible from the inside.

>>8827808
Sandy called his oddly-shaped building "The Nameless City". didn't even put infinite stairways in or anything.
