CBM kino confirmed yet?

DBP48 has revolutionized doom modding forever

What wads are a good fit for DRLA?

>>8975609
this is so extremely aweomse i think its the ebst doom dbp ever. and i think the maps i made and the maps tat the otehrs made for tbis dbp are very awesoimettii abnd ut woirks very wekk with theb new assets its so nice , i really like it and i tihnk its going to become the most famous mapset of the doom community and i think that it will be more famous than brutal doom and alien vbendetta and all the otehr mods like complex doom and stuff like that. and the soundtrack is really nicve i think it is really the best doom wad ever and it is as good as dbp auger zenith.

512 LINEDEFS UPDATE
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6ib1qc78x79p9p/512nightsinarabiabybrxyzupdate1.zip?dl=0

Update to 512 Nights in Arabia

Fixed the issue mentioned in the previous thread. Made some areas brighter so that hitscan enemies like the shotgunners and the chaingunners can be seen a bit more easily. One of the shotgunners is now accessible so now there's a second way to find a shotgun. The exit gate now lowers when activating it, making the exit delay feel less out of place.

>>8975236
I thought the numbers with the vertices were sometimes pretty hard to read. In principle I find it cool, but I think you'd need more space to do it that way.

>>8975871
>second way to get a shotgun
>exit gate lowers
based. two issues I had with it are already fixed

>>8975557
What's PerfectHatred.wad in the iDTech 1 archive?
It seems to just change the menu and the HUD slightly.

>>8975959
Ah, I see. I'm a big dum dum.
This is a Doom 2 WAD, I was trying to play it with Doom 1.

>>8975754
lexicon i guess, more than plenty of space for collecting/crafting

>>8975319
Dunno, I guess it's hard to document every time he opens his mouth.

There is the time he invented DM maps that's very documented because just about all of the ex original-id staff called him out on that.

>>8975754
Slige/Oblige/Obsidian maps.

>>8975609
>looked it up
i don`t get it, isn`t it supposed to be some grand community-uniting project series or something? why is this one such a shitpost?

>all weapon animation frames are at least 2 tic long

>>8976224
What mod?

>>8975754
A level set with lots of non-linear, optional areas, since that way you have all sorts of opportunities to find rare drops. Vanilla Doom 2 is rather excellent about this, with a lot of the more open city levels becoming treasure troves of goodies.

Late to the party, but lmao what an entitled schizo

>>8975871
>>8975559
512 LINEDEFS UPDATE again
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q0y0ku6y9uhjk9o/512nightsinarabiabybrxyzupdate2.zip?dl=0

Update 2 to 512 Nights in Arabia

One substantial and one small fix, I played on hardware mode all the time and I didn't notice that you can barely see shit on software mode, so I bumped the brightness up in the entire map by a bit so it should be just right. Moved the Pain Elemental near the Red Key a bit since it would notice the player too easily.

>>8975557
More progress. Now have two shitty maze generating algorithms of my own, as well as an optional tracker to tell you if you're getting closer or not. Want to add third option based on recursive division method, tweak the spawn options more and then I'm done.

Also maybe add in the win95 thing that flips the maze, except here it would just swap floor and ceiling textures

>>8976416
Nice!

>>8976416
If ZScript is on the table you can definitely do the full flipping effect. I remember someone posting webms here of some sort of puzzle WAD where that was a central mechanic.

>>8976428
While I'm aware it is possible, it's out of the scope of my plans for this.

>>8976428
Corruption Cards has this for horizontal flipping.

>>8976443

GOOD MORNING, MOTHERFUCKERS. IT'S THAT TIME OF THE WEEK AGAIN. SCREENSHOT SATURDAY. WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? MAPS, MODS, SPRITES? LET'S GET TO POSTING THAT SHIT

Does anyone know if I can refer to linedefs in ACS from just a sector? Specifically, I want to change the linedefs that form sector x

>>8976416
Could do something like this https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=60464 for the flip node maybe?

What's the WAD for this image?

>>8976916
It's either the maze generator one anon is working on or its this.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/hgdrmcuz5uzk95j/Win953DMaze.zip/file

Found an interesting tidbit with Super Metroid "Big Floid" that it would be nice to see it working on quake
they are immortal, they hit hard, but they can be used as platforms if you shoot them into holes or wall ledges

it would be interesting to see a map where you use them as platforms to reach certain spots of the map

>>8976916
An anon's maze generator. >>8976416
He hasn't shared the wip wad yet

>>8976912
>>8976912
Some Doomworlders are spiteful of Ribbiks since he ditched their place after winning a bunch of cacowards. I'm not saying it's dew or NotJabba making pot shots, but really, who knows?

>>8976928
The problem with that is you can't make monsters solid in a way that you can actually stand on and jump off of. You can only give them 'slidebox' solidity which forces you to slide off them... or gets you stuck trying.
The best you could probably do is have something like a func_togglewall that becomes solid once the Floyd touches a monster trigger inside of it. Not sure if he would be able to get out of it though.

gave hellrider another shot and finally got into it. holy SHIT is it fucking CRUNCHY.
no really, it`s pretty cool, but screenshake on loading every shell into the damn shotgun is a recipe for a headache.

>>8976945
I noticed something similar with Skillsaw when he released Heartland, though that also pissed off the monoport types.

>>8976945
I used to really dig doomworld, but they got progressively cliquey the last decade. I didn't join until late, I only ever lurked during their heyday, but I can see why someone might take off. I don't think any of them are actively bad people, but the entire environment doesn't feel welcoming.
Hell, here in the internet backwoods of /vr/ you get people encouraging others, offering unbidden and uncredited help. Despite the random jabs of "stfu faggot" and "lol kys" you might get the same dude helping you four posts later.
Impie did nothing wrong.

>>8976935
I plan on sharing what I have so far either tonight or tomorrow. Want to see if I can implement the third algorithm, but if that's too much work for me, I'll share as is while I take longer for that.

>>8977012
any place that seems even remotely good eventually falls to high school clique bullshit
it's why I'm here forever, you wouldn't know if I started posting 5 minutes ago or was actually carmack on his day off, you'd call me based/faggot all the same and it wouldn't even matter by next thread

>>8977012
Doomworld, ZDoom and DBP all have ego issues from the top-down and it really fucking shows these days.

Even with crap like the Ion Maiden sprite shit, where at least the first two lost their minds over ripping sprites for mods and trying to police when the community spent decades being ok with it. Shit really showed their double standards.

>>8976786
ribbiks is comfy

>>8976798
well people just jerk off to his hardest maps/wads and don't even play many of the things he cares about, so ...

anyway i played through this, was interesting and fun, and i love his music

>>8976994
Eternity Engine seems to get nearly as much hate as GZD wherever someone brings it up, idk why. Source port wars are 90% memery but these two get railed on autistically.

>>8977063
Eternity is just slow to get anywhere, which pisses some people off since it's got some impressive features you can't even replicate in GZDoom.

>>8976958
old maps did this trick in the past
the one i remember now is starship 1 and 2 by new manke where you had the frozen shamblers and the floating ice platforms.

i did some googling and i was startled to discover there's no Doomseeker type experience for Duke Nukem 3D, what gives?

>>8977076
I am startled to discovered you haven't solved that problem yourself, what gives?

Deathkings of the Dark Shitadel.

>>8977046
>Even with crap like the Ion Maiden sprite shit
I missed that somehow. Weird thing to give a shit about.

>>8976958
>The problem with that is you can't make monsters solid in a way that you can actually stand on and jump off of.
You can. in either playerprethink or playerpostthink (havent touched code in awhile), check if the player's groundentity is a monster, and give them the fl_onground flag if so. then they can stand on it with normal physics.

>>8977126
Some of the community were doing spritework for it (dunno who apart from Mike12 though) and so people high up on those boards massively overreacted to it and started trying to police asset use in mods.

Shit was stupid as fuck and about thirty years too late to even try.

>>8977131
Where did this happen? ZDoom? Sounds like something Rachael would get involved in.

>>8977123
like i said, i didn't find an answer

>>8976505
It's been month since I started this to get back into mapping and I still haven't finished this small map and it still sucks.

>>8976505
Progress is kind of slow on the maps themselves but it's happening. I went an added new pistol sprites (lifted from Ad Mortem and edited just a touch -- I hope that's fine if I give proper credit in the readme) and gave the breakable pots an art pass.

I'm going to figure out how webm works so I can give a short video demonstration on them -- i'm really happy with how they came out and I'd like for you to see them.

>>8977076
The game has a server browser. I'm pretty sure this is the same patch I used, it will allow you to see games on a master server.

>>8977128
>check if the player's groundentity is a monster, and give them the fl_onground flag
Huh, I never would have thought of that. Would certainly make walking over knocked down zombies in Violent Rumble less annoying...
Kinda want to enable that for all monsters but I'm not sure if it would break any maps.

>>8977124
More like "Deathkings Of The have to look up a walkthrough on youtube after a fucking hour of scouring through every map because the puzzle solution was scrawled on a random wall with a slightly different tone of gray"

glorious 360p render resolution lmao

>>8977224
"Deathkings of The okay it's been about a minute or so since the last spawn already here's some more slaughtaurs retard"

>>8976798
Dude has already created more of his signature combat oriented wads than his disciples. At this point he can do whatever he wants.

>>8977141
Needless to say
this map feels at home using rogue or xatrix AI.

>>8977190
And here's the pots! Breaking them is pretty fun, especially if you hit them with the shotgun or machinegun. Monster attacks break them too, so I've taken to sprinkling them around encounter spots so monsters end up breaking them. Hearing pottery breaking around the scene really adds to the verisimilitude of the fights.

>>8977204
Thanks! I want to have a focus on ancient civilizations -- the project's called Antiquity, so I'm targeting societies that existed around the Bronze Age. So far I have maps representing Sumer (Iraq), Assyria (Syria), and the Hittites (Turkey), but for the first episode release I'm planning on having Greek, Minoan, and Babylonian maps too. (There's going to be a secret Atlantis level as well.) I'm undecided on an Egypt map, as while it'd certainly fit the bill, Epic 2's already a thing and Egypt itself is a pretty standard Video Game Theme, and I'm looking to do something a little different.

The first release would focus on Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean, but I'd also like to get some European, Asian, and American cultures in too. Some of which I'm planning include the Jomon (Japan), Sheng (China), Harappan (India), Caral-Supe (Peru), and Olmec (Mexico).

>>8977141
>I've finally released my singleplayer map BRUTAL BASE for Quake 2!
HELL yes

I love mods where i can play as protagonists from other games, any good wads for these kinds of mods?
I'm tired of replaying doom 2

>>8977260
Literally Samsara

>>8977260
Maps with crouching and jumping in mind may make sense for build heroes througg Samsara, but I don’t know any of those offhand besides Diablus Ex.
Replaying Alien Vendetta with some mods isn’t always a bad idea, or just stick to your favorites.

>>8977012
Impie dug his own ban grave by releasing few political wads with radical opinions and then getting angry when receiving backlash. I do prefer more politically neutral enviroment, but what did this guy expect? Making meme alt-right wads is fine, but expecting praise and not criticism for mentioned wads on an enviroment that wants to stay in good touch with bethesda and romero is not realistic. He should just continue releasing wads on his website without expecting a mainstream success. Nsbm bands do not expect to get on radio either. Why should he? He's the nsbm artist of doom modding.

>>8977237
How about Iron Age civilizations for the last episode?
You could also do Phoenicians I guess.
Like Roman, Etruscan, Punic/ Carthaginian?
You could also have some more barbaric people, like Celts, Germanics, Iberians, Thracians/ Dacians, Illyrians, Scythians, Sarmatians.
Maybe the "civilized levels" could be a mix of tombs, urban environments, ruins and so on, and the "barbaric levels" could be more natural, open space, non-linear environments.
There's tons of potential in this.

>>8977237
what is your project called? You upload this anywhere else?
>>8977141
Congrats anon, brutalist architecture is sweet
>>8977012
Yup, /vr/os are really helpful, and any insults that are flinged around here are 90% harmless banter
>>8977035
That's what makes 4chan generals like this so great - you never give a fuck about who posts some random opinion, we only recognize usernames when they have content like maps attached - VRanon or Kegan or all of us who made doom maps and used nicknames in credits get no shit here because our use of trips/nicknames is justified - as soon as we stop posting content and instead post some opinion we are back to being random anons. Not having a circlejerk identity improves neutral discussion
There's also a drawback to that, since anonymous users have no problem posting absolute shit or fighting. Facebook groups are a polar opposite - you are attached to your true irl name which restrains you from too extreme stuff
Forums like DW and ZD are in the middle making them the worst since they share the cons of both chans and fb groups - you are not held back from acting like a tard since no one knows your real name, but you still got a nickname which allows cliques and circlejerks to form

>>8977312
Didn't he get banned after releasing a wad based on his wife's storybook? I recall some mod went in that thread with passive aggressive baits and the next time I checked it was gone.

>>8977237
Egypt has been used to death but can be interesting outside of pyramids/sphinx/mummies. Like the library of Alexandria.
Persia is the most underrated.
Carthage and Phoenicia are also interesting and have not been really explored.

>tfw I just found out somebody fixed Project MSX
Fucking awesome.

>>8977345
>Egypt has been used to death
>Literally in only serious sam and another game as far as I known has used egypt
>none of them go into ancient aliens or any of that weird type of shit or fantasy creatures based off the hieroglyphs or art at the pyramids and shit

>>8977380
There's also Dissolution of Eternity.

>>8977312
>Impie dug his own ban grave by releasing few political wads with radical opinions
Tubular.
>then getting angry when receiving backlash
Backlash wasn't reasonable. He had every right be be upset with the shit they were saying to him.
His wads weren't even that fucked. Dynamite Duchess was perfectly reasonable in it's balance, and everyone who got pissy about it didn't actually give it a fair shake.
>>8977337
>next time I checked it was gone
It was gone because it made nearly everyone except him look like a fucking dickhead. Because that's how they were acting. But he got to keep the ban, lol.
He didn't expect praise, and did expect criticism, but I don't think he expected people to essentially go "kys, you monster".
And the twats who were upset admitted to simply scouring the lumps in the .pk3 looking for shit to be upset about. Nah. That ban wasn't Impie's fault. How he caught a ban and MagicMushroomMan didn't for the same thread is beyond me.

>>8977398
I forget quake even exists half the time

>>8977402
Impie plz

>>8977380
>>none of them go into ancient aliens
Besides, well, Ancient Aliens, though it’s much more tongue in cheek.

>>8977408
That's silly.

>>8977325
It's called Antiquity. It's still a serious work in progress, I have one map mostly complete and two maps that are about 20% of the way there. I don't want to release it until it's in a state where it's representative of the quality of the final, finished product. I'm hoping to get an Episode 1 or something with a handful of maps out the door this year.

>>8977323
These are all really cool ideas to explore! "Bronze Age/Iron Age" itself is wording that, while useful as a quick reference for the time period I want, isn't necessarily accurate. After all, some civilizations never had a Bronze Age because they just didn't have access to bronze. Then again, I'm not exactly aiming for 100% historical accuracy, but more of a good capture of the overall aesthetic and theme while allowing for gameplay and visual concessions. There's going to be some anachronism in here but I don't really want to go any farther than, say, the fall of Rome.

>>8977337
Yea, but he inserted lot of antivax stuff on it.

>>8977402
But why insert political messages into a wad, if you can't deal with outcome. Of course going full "covid is a hoax" is going to anger some people. His wads would have been on the most mainstream doom social media platform without politics. Nobody forced him to put them into his wads. He is an functioning adult who made his own decision. He should respect his decision and it's inevitable outcome himself.

>>8977312
As far as I understand it Impie just posted some covidiot stuff. I don't care for his political beliefs personally but it's not like he was advocating for genocide or whatever. If Thatcher's Techbase can be posted on Doomworld then I don't see what's wrong with Dynamite Dutchess or any of his other work.

>>8977012
"Cliquey" really is the right word. At times it really does feel like DW is the same dozen people patting each other on the ass. Doomer Boards has some insane /pol/ack retards and kiwifarms losers and isn't really any better, but at least the guys doing DBPs actually give a shit about playing and modding Doom and can go five minutes without talking about the JQ or whatever.

>>8977437
>Of course going full "covid is a hoax" is going to anger some people.
That's not what the wad said in the end. That's what a character said. That's literally the line that people saw in the language lump and assumed was the point of the story because they were looking to be angry.
>why put something political in your wad
Why write a book? Why try and make any point about anything? Why even talk.

You're right about one thing. I wouldn't upload literally anything except basic gameplay mods/maps to doomworld or zdoom forums without expecting someone (probably a mod) to be a massive cunt about it. Not after that.

>>8977437
Dude, having a random flip out and go full scorched earth over a difference of opinion is not something you'd presume as a matter of course unless you're in some kind of Balkan war zone.

>>8977460
>it's not political because character said it
Impie is known for his racistic and anti-covid beliefs he posts in his website. He is also known for inserting his beliefs into his wads. He himself said he put it anti-covid lines into his wads to piss people off. It's all okay for me, but you can't really say that he is just an innocent victim who only did it for story purposes.

>>8977380
Powerslave
Dissolution of Eternity
Serious Sam
Goldeneye
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Duke Nukem
Osiris TC for Doom II with ancient aliens and sci fi themes
Lots of other wads
And that's just for old first person shooters, every platformer series have egypt levels too, lots of point and click adventures, action games like Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones, too many others to count, and also every other aspect of pop culture lile books, comics, tv and movies.

>>8977497
>He himself said he put it anti-covid lines into his wads to piss people off
No he didn't. He said he expected the wad to bother people, not that he put specific lines in TO upset people.

>>8977460
>Why write a book?
You are free to write a book with even national socialistic beliefs, but you shouldn't expect it to be sold on the biggest mainstream bookstore. That is the point.

Thatcher isn't relevant, but on the time covid was. Hell Doomworld even had a release of wad where you play as Adolf Hitler. Some mods even defended the wad, because it wasn't political. You can use political figures without political message.

>>8976443
>doomer understand faggot easily

i hate how few deathmatches go up on doomseeker, it's always survival and cooperatives

>>8977224
>>8977227
Oh cool, I never played Deathkings and it sounds like I don't need to.

I still have about 24 hours before deadline for 512 lines, right?

if i build zandronum myself instead of using the latest version, will i still be able to play with you guys? my game is stuttering like crazy.

>>8977426
I really really want to do a late Roman themed TC for Hexen.
Too bad I'm just an ideas man.

>>8977580
I've been meaning to do this too. Capping framerate seemed to help with the stuttering in my case, but sometimes the engine stops accepting input entirely whenever I do something that causes the cursor to show up and I have to force quit it.

>>8975557
folks, it doesn't work.
Don't let me get into details here with my ESL, ok.
I tried it, over and over again. I stuck at the first level, no matter what i try, no mod would ever loud. And when i play a few levels, i start to glitch out of map.
It is no fun.

for me the stuttering happens pretty much at random, it has something to do with the linux version using an older SDL version.
i wonder when a new version will come out...

>>8977579
Just about, yeah. Ends tomorrow at midnight, or 11:59pm or whatever.

heh

>>8977641
Maybe I'll do something. I felt like shit this entire week but I still have an idea I want to show the world.

>>8977650
Do it, anon. Speedmap it if you have to. Just sit down, shut off everything not related to mapping, listen to some music or whatever, and map your idea.
Good luck, and godspeed.

512 LINEDEFS UPDATE yet again
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ag1n1hwtha0eii/512nightsinarabiabybrxyzupdate3.zip?dl=0

Update 3 to 512 Nights in Arabia

Mostly small fixes and tweaks this time, more important ones being that I added more health to easy difficulty and tagged a secret I accidentally untagged in the previous update.

>>8977614
Ehh, I've beaten it with High Noon Drifter once.

>>8977741
i dont think anyone complains about hexen monsters,its the puzzles

>>8977124
>>8977561
Deathkings is better than the base game. Harder, better level design, better enemy encounters, more usage of underused enemies (wendigos, reivers).

Can someone please post the image with the cacodemon "typing" on a keyboard?

>>8977773
Wrong on just about all fronts.

>>8977808
Nope.

>>8977525
A lot of people misread what he said at the time, so you might be remembering what they thought he said. It was frustrating to see go down... Dunno why it bothers me so much, really. It just drove me nuts to see everyone seemingly purposefully misunderstand his wad, his point, and his response.
Anyway. There are legit criticisms you can make about the wad (ammo scarcity is one that I had an issue with), but overall it's decent fun and impressive in a lot of ways. And there was a tertiary argument about how better to approach a safety vs freedom plot that probably had some good ideas in it, but it got nuked with the rest of the thread.
Ancient history now I guess.

>>8977762
Yeah, but playing as Corzo was more enjoyable than the base classes and at least I get to twirl my revolver when puzzles are annoying me.

>>8977773
Better enemy variety sounds good. Ettins are fun to smack around, but they do get old.

>>8976416
How is this done? A grid of sectors that start off fully walkable/raised and then they're selectively built/crumbled based on the results of an algorithm? Which one are you using?
>Also maybe add in the win95 thing that flips the maze, except here it would just swap floor and ceiling textures
It should be possible to invert gravity and roll the player camera. Make sure to flip the controls too though. Reelism 2 has an X-flip effect in it done with a shader, you could check out how it does the controls flip.

can you take maps out of wads, maybe edit them a bit and compile your own wad out of all your favorite maps?

>>8977847
Sure. In slade it would be pretty easy to do.

>>8977798
this one anon?

>>8977773
Based, only problem with Hexen is that the combat is too easy in the original game.

>>8977870
I think i remember something else, with a caco that is closer to the real sprite, but maybe that's just my mind playing tricks on me
Nonetheless this is what i'm looking for or close enough, thank you

>>8977870
>as the cacodemon floats over the keyboard a tiny arm comes out of one of the holes and proceeds to type the words

>>8977901

erm, anon, what does this mean?

Was there ever a mod that made Stalker Bosses and Slaughtaurs visually different from their weaker counterparts? I always hated that they looked identical.

>>8977402
>Dynamite Duchess was perfectly reasonable in it's balance
DD's storyline pisses itself away right at the end.

>plague kills mother
>child starts to realise her own guilt by the end of the baths area
>this thread isn't actually completed, and the ending just goes "lmao mom bad, I'm leaving"
It was so close to being an even-handed treatment and the ending fumbles it.

Also fuck the bowling alley puzzle, no indication of whether or not you're actually having any effect until the machine breaks and you need far more hits than people would be willing to do without assuming they need to go do something else.

Initial release of my WIP maze thing. It uses my own homebrew shitty pathing now. I'm trying to implement a more "proper" algorithm but it's more work than I hoped so that's for later. Haven't done anything resembling coding/scripting in years, and it probably shows in my practices somewhat.

Pic is a quick guide.
Left/computer switch generates a random spawn and exit in the grid, then tries to path from the former to the latter. This can be very long because of the way I generate the path, and you can end up with just an open grid if you're unlucky.

Middle/skull switch lets my pather run for a fixed number of cycles, then adds a few short random sidepaths and puts a spawn and exit randomly in there.

Right/monitor switch turns on tracker to the exit. You can turn this on before spawning the maze, it'll point you to just behind the starting room which is where the finishing point is before it's teleported into the level. This switch can be reused to turn the tracker off if you don't want it/hit it by accident or whatever.

The maze generating switches can only be used once, and using one disables the other as well. After generating the maze the teleporter pad becomes active. The maze is filled with random weapons, ammo, powerups and enemies. Not all possible enemies are currently generated into the maze. This was design choice, not a bug.

The map is UDMF, which afaik requires GZdoom. Tested it GZdoom version 4.7.1 as working. Oh and two wads because I don't know how to put the textures into the wad. I'm a genius. Run the game as Hell on Earth, the maze thing is what comes with the texturewad. On finishing level you will move on to the same level. This is design too.

>>8977838
Only saw this post now, your guess is right. A grid of 45x45 sectors with floor/ceiling both set at 0, and then an algorithm of sorts makes a path through it. I didn't realize flipping gravity is possible, that might actually make the whole flip thing more feasible. Still, I want to add a proper mazing algorithm first. I'll have to look into Reelism 2 at some point, see what they did. If you want to have a gander at my shitty algorithm, you can check the wad now here >>8978048

>>8977870
Finally, a good take.

Alright gentlemen, it's time for some Serious Business Saturday. We'll be playing coop through the beginning of The Second Encounter on Serious difficulty. So take a seat anywhere in the meeting room, it's time to get Serious.

>>8978535
I'm a scrub so I can't break it down for you but there's a trick I saw that lets you lay bridges over passable areas. Open bstain.wad or joi_lstciv15.wad (map01) in an editor and take a look. I guess you could just copy that then set the exterior linedefs on your bridge as impassable.

>>8978647
No, Sundays are already reserved for Sunday Night Shitshow.

>>8978649
Adding to that: these kinds of bridges get fucky in multiplayer, so consider that.

>>8978647

Is there even a name for these things?

Do you think Doom Guy ever gets a sore shoulder from all the 12 gauge he fires?

>>8977312
Dude, he's not "alt-right" or on the same level as Varg Vikernes and has never been even close to it. Can we please just let words have meaning and not apply them to everyone we don't like? This shit is just as bad as when conservatives spent 8 years calling Obama communist. Listen to yourself.

>>8978768
Do you think Doomguy farts in front of the demons and gets embarrassed? Haha

>>8977402
The "backlash" wasnt just people saying "this mod is bad for xyz reasons", it amounted to dogpiling on him personally. Behavior that the mods would ban people for doing to anybody else, but they participated in it themselves.

>>8978768
you get used to it

>>8978789
Maybe that's why he kills them. He has uncontrollable gas, and he doesn't want word getting around in Hell. After all, you can't be embarrassed by a demon if it's dead.

>>8978790
Absolutely.

>>8976505
Before I get the chance to miss it...
I downscaled the first map of my planned MBF21 WAD. Left is new one at 512 Lines, right is old one at about 3800. The current project inspired this downscaling, and I think it'll pay off in the end.
Of course, I don't intend on stopping at 512 linedefs or anything. That's just how I'll keep my map from getting too big before I go into detailing and such.

>>8978950
Limitations breed creativity, even self-imposed ones. Keep it up.

i joined a megaman server several hours ago and wound up sticking around socializing, lol, i didn't even know there was some virtual hangout inside Doom, welp

Does anyone know how to extract the IWAD of PSX Doom? Is there a utility out there that does it? Doom wiki says that the game is split up into 60 wads, one for each map, and a wad that it says is called "PSXDOOM.WAD" which contains all the graphics (https://doomwiki.org/wiki/PSXDOOM.WAD).). It does not however say what hexadecimal offset it starts at in the .bin files and where it ends. Ideally, I'd like it to be open-able in SLADE. SLADE can open the Jaguar iwad, but Doom wiki says
>The WADs use the same LZSS-based compression method as the Jaguar Doom port; however, they are little-endian files, as opposed to the Jaguar's big-endian WAD
Is this true of the whole .WAD? Are only parts of it compressed? Because the lump names in the wad don't seem to be compressed at all. Will I need to write a program to convert it to big-endian?

>>8978984
someone already converted the game into a playable WAD i downloaded it a while back

>>8978991
I know, but I want to extract it myself so I can be sure that it's as unmodified from the original data as possible.

>>8978048
ok this is fucking cool. it's almost a rogue-like. if you manage to survive the first maze, you can take all those weapons into a new maze. the tracker is also a great idea.

If I'm understanding this correctly, pressing the left most button will result in a maze with a start at a dead-end and a finish at a dead-end, like a typical maze you'd do on paper, whereas the middle switch makes it so the entrance and exits can be any square within the maze itself. Is that correct?

Either way, good job.

>>8977535
Here's the latest build I could find
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8y3pach9c2akjvv/PM%20Update%205%20PRE-RELEASE%205-18-2022.pk3?dl=1

>>8978950
interesting. upload the map when you got it ironed out, I wanna compare to the previous version.

>>8978950
That's a pretty good plan for keeping a digestible map pack. Start with a line limit, nail the flow, then detail it as you see fit.
Honestly 512 is a pretty good size for making focused maps without too much limitation.

>>8978535
One way to accomplish this is by using middle textures to set up the edges of the "bridge", then fill in the void with a criss-cross of all-black textures. This gives the illusion of a space you can walk under, but is separate from the ceiling. Check Eviternity's MAP10 for a great example of this, pic related.

>>8979018

Seriously though, thanks for recognizing my piss-fiend tower in your playthrough. I wanted to create a small tension for the player to either 1)waste uncertain amounts of resources 2)get his ass moving. I was inspired by the spooky mist from Splatterhouse that consumes Rick for being indecisive. Unfortunately I didn’t have “time” to engineer something more meticulous. Thanks for the words anons.

>>8979182
>my piss-fiend tower
Ya, from the first play I realized what was going on by the second Imp. It's a good little mechanic for people paying close attention.
I forget who, but probably a streamer mentioned not wanting to kill all the enemies in case the last one would be an Arch-vile or something, which I thought was a cute—but very legitimate—concern.

Yes, except the way pathing is handled you don't neccesarily end up with dead ends. This is why I want the 3rd "proper" algorithm, to do what my smalbrain didn't. Glad you enjoy it for what it is though.

>>8978858
That's why it's important you kill every demon in the map.

Used every linedef I had in my disposal to make this one. When any detail means that you may hit the limit earlier than anticipated, map design is getting more and more blocky, yet inventive. Scraping some elements just in order to add some secrets on the map is something pretty new to me.
Time is running out so I will be really thankful for any feedback and bugtesting and stuff.

I couldn't finish this map because this door doesn't open, unless it is supposed to be a fake door and I missed something, playing on Woof with complevel 9.

>>8979375
>>8979403
But from what I've been able to play so far it's a really good map, it makes up for the blockiness with varied lighting. The only complaint I'd have is that it's been too easy except that one Archvile encounter (and pairing it with a Pain Elemental was a simple but cool idea). I like how most rooms have multiple ways to enter them too.

Another small bug I've found is that when you activate this secret the candle seems too move vertically along with the platform, I think moving it away from the wall by a short distance should fix it.

Are there any wads you know off hand that are just vanilla but with more monsters?
But not like, retarded.

>>8979416
God damn it. I should have mentioned. Doom obviously.
Preferably Ultimate. But I don't see why someone wouldn't just make it for Doom 2.

If you're using GZDoom you can use this on just about any map/mod. Otherwise you'd probably have to do the edits to the maps yourself.

>>8979375
only had time for a couple of playthroughs, I really like the way this one looks and it's got some fun encounters. I had the same problems as the other guy though with the door. It feels like there are three doors, one for blue, one for red, and one in the middle that is activated via that switch, but the red and blue doors don't open. Not sure. Also the candle in front of the soulsphere secret does move.

Also, the yellow key ambush is kinda pathetic, or so I thought, because for me it spawned a pain elemental and a baron, then when I went through it again, it spawned a pain elemental and an arch-vile. The baron was roaming the closet. Later on I noticed an arch-vile roaming free but I assume I had triggered it after the fact, now I'm wondering if all three are supposed to come in and they're not doing it on time.

I also noticed some annoying blockmap issues around the aforementioned switch that I think grants access to the red key, specifically the area just before reaching the switch. Not sure if anything can be done about it or maybe I just can't aim.

but yeah, cool map otherwise, non-linear as hell, multiple levels, lots of enemies. the exit room was mean, almost didn't have enough ammo, but I guess I could have used berserk in a pinch. I guess having to make multiple trips across the tops of the crates to grab everything is a little annoying but now i"m just nitpicking. Great job overall.

I'm going to make it yay.

>>8978783
Much more than Varg actually. He posts his more political opinions on his website. You should read them, before blindly denying them. And as a centrist, for me personally those opinions are ok. Everyone is entitled to have their political opinion. Still people should accept, that when you align yourself with radical political stance, it does affect your life. In this case his wads with political opinions are not compatible with mainstream Doom website, that wants to stay with good graces of Romero and Bethesda. Dw doesn't want alt-right wads, just like nsbm fests don't want leftist bands. Yet the wads and bands can still exist on their own place. I would support full nazi doom site too, that would ban wads with leftist references. After all it's the site's decision, what the rules are. Impie knew dw's rules. He should just move on and accept it.

Btw Varg despises alt-right and even nazi germany. He is just anti-immigration, anti-semitist, anti-feminist, and racist. He is also anti-totalitarist, anti-christian, anti-capitalist and anti-conservative. He doesn't complain, that his music isn't on the radio. He accepts that it's for the chosen few fans. Impie should take a note. So Impie, if you read this: Just make a wads as you like, and be proud of them. Do not expect your art to accepted by mainstream.

>>8979438
Nice, thanks.

>>8979461
you always were brah

So guys, I need your highly valued opinion on this:

Our team knows that the mod we gonna put out has a huge audience of players that lack even the most basic knowledge about computers. So I thought of making a downloadable version of the mod that comes bundled with GZDoom and Freedoom Phase 1. All the player has to do is to download that ZIP-File, dump the shit into any directory and click the gzdoom.exe.

All easy enough. Thing is I'm not sure if the GZ-Devs are ok with such a distribution. Last thing I want is some lame e-drama with Doom communities denying us further service. So Doomers, what do you think of this topic?

>>8979568
You wouldn't be the first, just make sure you include any necessary licenses for GZDoom and FreeDoom and nobody will care.

>>8979568
I don't think it should be any problem, many Doom mods (Ashes TC or the paid version of REKKR come to my mind currently) do that already.

>>8979582
>>8979584
Thanks for the feedback XOXOXO

>>8979568
No idea what your mod is, Adventures of Square and Chex Quest 3 distribute GZDoom alongside their wads and nobody has thrown a shitfit yet. Same with Rekkr and Hefon, two commercial games. I'm sure there is plenty other TC's I forgot avou too. I think as long as it's FREEDoom 1 you'll be fine.
And if they do get mad at someone passing around a copy of their open source, free program with their wad, fuck em

>>8979602
Interesting, I didn't know that. We are working on a partial-conversion with alterations to every gameplay aspect. Most graphics and sounds are new too, talking protagonist, double the weapons and new weapons&monsters. The target audience is the typical /b/ user so that's more or less the main concern here.

I can not get ceiling portals working in gzdoom unless I use the old portal objects. How do I do it properly? Thanks.

>>8979568
as long as the source-code for GZDOOM is provided (if it's modified,if not just point on where to get it).

>>8979568
As long as it's not GZDoom prior to 3.0 you should be fine and FreeDoom is free software by design so there's no real issues even if you were selling it.

why does doomguy have foreskin on his hands

>>8979568
GZDoom is GPL-3.0 software, so you're fine:
https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/blob/master/LICENSE
And Freedoom is under the The 3-Clause BSD License
https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom/blob/master/COPYING.adoc
They are both free (as in free speech) software, with based, redpilled, highly permissive licenses. Just include copies of the licenses with your mod and you will be fine.

>>8979568
>https://zdoom.org/wiki/License
The tl;dr is if it's not a commercial release, you pretty much have nothing to worry about when distributing GZDoom. Just make sure the source code is available.

>>8979837
It's a shame they took the RMS replacement for Romero's head out of Freedom Phase 2 because that was fitting as fuck.

Though they also took the gib sound that Kegan is fond of out and replaced it with a sound like somebody having dialarhoea, so they obviously hate fun.

Why cant I run Auger Zenith in Crispy doom? I thought Crispy is limit-removing and it says I have too much animated linedefs or some shit

>>8979982
Yea I get you totally, don't wait for this. I'm just kinda tired of waiting for the mapper to finally put together enough levels so we can squeeze out a demo. Kinda try to keep in the public eye, as it got announced way to early. Many thought the announcment/1st trailer was just a joke.

It was only meant to be a little shitpost mod but he took more than half a year to make like 4 (unfinished) maps so I kept adding more and more features. I got to the point were you can loot certain enemies, every weapons has interactible projectiles (i.e the shoguns shoots turds and when when they splash against the wall they drop corn), altfires and so on. I wrote pages of lore backgrounds and shit like this too. Original Music... Andy's equivalent of Duke's Mighty Foot is that he shits out and throws his shit at enemies etc... We even got collectibles.

The mod will be a fun, colourful fest, be it just the result of it's delay.

Here some demonstrations of features:

Yep, not downloading it. Ain't clicking the links either.

Thanks, mate.

I like how I was just supposed to know there was a fucking invisible ledge here in Vesperas.

>>8979568
people have released full games on gzdoom. you dont even need freedoom anymore, you can make your own iwad/ipk3 .

>>8979660
They can be a little confusing and have many different types. Just make sure you're setting the tags and linedef fields correctly.

Holy fucking kino, I literally shitposted (lol) about this months ago.
Can't wait to see the results!

>>8980096
A lot of maps are nearly on the same level as 90s point and click adventures games for having to stumble on the weird fucking train of logic the mapper was tripping balls on while they made it.

>>8979932
Ohhh you're the Poom guy, can't wait to sniff that glorious log of a mod.

>>8978535
You could fake it use identical areas and seamless boom teleports.

>>8980127
I like the business motif, besides Serious Saturdays is already somewhat "taken" by another group. Or at least was used by somebody else, idk if that group is still active.
Also it fits in with the three word titles that the other multiplayer sessions here have.

What's the best way to play Deus Ex on a modern PC? Either widescreen or 4:3 is fine.
Is the gog version good enough?

>>8980225

It is, but we seldom play Sam these days.

Well, with the Master Levels done I've finally beaten every official Doom addon. Feels great.

I didn't have time to fully fine tune the balance, but it is working.

>>8980237
I haven't had a chance to use this, but it seems to include all the necessary things for the game to work well on modern hardware: https://github.com/Defaultplayer001/Deus-Ex-Universe-Community-Update-/releases/tag/2.3.4
If that doesn't work out, check pcgamingwiki and get a new renderer and exe.
I don't think the Steam and GOG versions are different from each other.

>>8980237
You really don't need more than deus exe launcher and D3D9 Renderer but do mess around with the settings I remember some forum post giving me the best settings I forget exactly where but I found it somewhere between pcgw and the site it was on

>no H.E.V. suit doctor scientist crowbar lady GF

>>8980237
All you need is the Deus Exe launcher like the other anon said.

idk, i didn't notice anyone being a creep but me, i joined to play deathmatch and they had to explain to me that it wasn't a server for that and that all they do in the game is hang out with each other and fish for like 300 something fish that give them skins and abilities or something, so after 20 minutes of roaming around the map and finding easter eggs and such i just started shooting everyone which broke out into everyone shooting each other for an hour or so and after shit talking them for kicks i got challenged to an arena fight where they taught me more controls ect and then owned me, lol, it was a riot i hardly noticed the time passing by.

>>8979996
It's the alternative widescreen hud from Doom Retro. Love this port.

>>8980487
goddamit

How would i install roland sc-55 music packs onto dsda doom? I know this sounds idiotic but on duke you just put it into autoload but it's not clear with doom source ports because I never really bothered to

>>8980074
anything else you wanna tell us before you clock back in to the dick sucking factory?

>>8980539
How does this "music pack" look. Is it a wad?

>>8980541
it's a folder with music files.

>>8980549
Yeah, this sounds like it would be a problem. Best I can think of is to use SLADE to put them inside of the wad and rename them.

What would a rough equivalent of Crispy Doom for the Build and Quake engines be? With the official Doom maps out of the way I'd like to get into another shooter. I'll be playing those /vr/ wads too, don't worry.

I'm not the only one who plays Nightmare NoRespawn instead of UV Fast... r-right guys?

>>8980551
>>8980549
>>8980539
it's fine. I found a soundfont file

Trying to learn intermediate Doom 2 editing.
Where do I declare these "using" statements from the DECOHack documentation?
I've never used DeHackEd or DECORATE before.
./src/main.dh seems to be where the DECOHack code goes, but it doesn't seem like a "using" statement should go here (there's already C-esque #include declarations, plus adding a "using" throws an error.)

>>8980617
i think it's in the start of the file, also in other news the creator of decohack is actually working on making a GUI for it.

>>8980554
Are you just looking for recommended sourceports or something that maintains a more retro appearance?

>>8980638
To be precise, I'm looking for engines that clean up the games and add QoL improvements to the vanilla experience. I used Crispy Doom as a comparison because other ports like DSDA-Doom and GZDoom seem better suited for playing with mods than a first run through the game.

>>8980621
>on making a GUI for it
I was under the impression DECOHack was basically a compiler that turned its own form of Java code into a DeHackEd patch file. Am I mistaken? This might be why I can't figure out where that "using" statement is supposed to go. (I'm using VS Code for my editor at the moment.)

>>8980663

>>8980558
Wouldn’t that just be the same as UV fast monsters but double ammo?

>>8980558
Why would you need all that ammo? are you play with more enemies than normal?

Different skill levels, so generally more and sometimes harder spawns.

>>8978984
jPSXdec seems to work, and the extracted wad can by read by SLADE.

good,even if your megawad is a curse.
>>8980472
HL is on topic.

>>8980358
>decay, blue shift, and opfor remakes are all vaporware
black mesa is great as a middle finger to hl:source and all, but de-cooping decay, doing more with gimmicks like the squad mechanics, and making blue shift less dull could actually use a modern spitshine
hell if they dropped the black mesa muh AAA fidelity gmmick and just ported the current assets to source with gameplay improvements that'd be rad and much more doable

>>8980726
I thought Nightmare just used the same monster numbers and positions as UV

>>8980472
I can post deus ex invisible war if I wanted
this is the classic fps thread also operation black mesa is on topic as well which looks good

>>8980754
not only that they made xen actually enjoyable and make sense instead of being a generic throw in because we have to have a level that involves alien-esq looks of the 90s

>>8980764
in vanilla doom I don't think you can even flag an entity as only nightmare, uv and nm are lumped together like normal and easy

>>8980931
Not blood. Not magic. Not whatever the fuck nu-doom is doing. Good ole fashioned machinery, oil, wires, and electricity. That's what's fun about doom. Reminder that in TNT they fly a spaceship to Mars.

Did you get any issues with the killcount?

>>8980952
Cool and fucking metal.

>>8980912
to be fair, classic doom always had its fair share of inconsistencies and that drawing is based off the doom comic, whose author i don't imagine caring that much with the source material like any game adaption material
>>8980931
>>8980952
all i know is that hell made cybernetic demons themselves as some aesthetical segments in hell levels and textures suggest a presence of gruesome hell tech before reboot doom retconned it to 2016 being responsible, then tag 2 came up with immora
>>8980831
that pic reminds me: has anyone ever done a gachimuchi crossover with nikocado? sounds like a fucked up combonation because we might as well see the fat fuck and aniki as polar opposites

>>8980949
Ever since I was a children in singular, it has been amongst my favourite settings in an FPS.
Yes, I agree it is not the most fun to play for the levels in the space, but once you get on a moon it gets really good. I like the pacing of some of the stations and the sheer scale of the whole complex. It really felt like a great piece of set to explorate.

>>8980952
Yes blood, of course blood. Blood and machinery.

>>8980952
2016 is fine, literally just
>let's tap hell for renewable energy because robot daddy is a brainlet who can't do background checks
eternal a decent idea, hell runs on tortured souls, which motivates their invasion of earth, the demons themselves have tech grafted on and beyond the soul batteries seems pretty mundane, that's pretty in line with something a 90's shooter would have (the issue is mainly the environment not reflecting this)
hell I kind of like "heaven" getting involved on a base level, it's just that shit gets too wacky towards the end, and the 15 twists a minute just for the sake of twists is annoying and retroactively makes 2016 a bit dumber

>>8980874
why are there so many trannies in these communities now? is it because autism has a high link to becoming a tranny?

>>8980903
yea,alot of it feels like pandering (im bi),especially for brands (though i can forgive it when it's normal people doing stuff).
but what can you do i guess.

>>8980984
It basically became Star Wars by the end of the DLC, which is fine and all but I already have stardoom.wad

>>8980985
Yes. The also existed before but just kept quiet about it. These days people share the inside of their asshole with you at the drop of a hat.

>>8980981
Same. I always like Lunar Apocalypse, although it's been a while since I last played Duke

>>8980998
But why? What happened to dignity and integrity?

>>8981008
The internet became mainstream

>>8980961
>Did you get any issues with the killcount?
I didn't pay much attention to it to be honest, but it was completable and fun anyways. I'll keep an eye on it when I replay it.

>>8981014
i dunno wat to do to activate this bridge and the second lift below

>>8980996
yeah, the absolute worst part of TAG is that the beer coof apparently caused dev issues so they had to scale back the final fight into marauder++
would satan transforming into a dragon and getting to fight it in a sentinel mech be good doom gameplay? who knows, would it at least be stupid fun and more of a payoff? I think so

>>8980874
>chevron
doesnt look that bad actually, I like how they used the existing logo for a simple recolor

Unironically I don't consider Nu doom even a doom game
it has none of things I expect out of a doom game or a id software game

anon who do you think made quake?

>>8981086
anon id software wouldn't make a game that plays anything like quake after decades later

>>8981091
Alright, what WOULD they make then?

>>8981106
Something that plays like Doom 3 but more modern

Are there any good examples of a Serious Sam levelset that leans more toward incidental combat rather than hordes and arenas?

>>8981110
anon id software wouldn't make a game that plays anything like doom 3 after decades later

>>8981118
Alright, what WOULD they make then?

>>8981124
I dunno, I'm just following your rules, better than you it seems

>>8981118
that's the point it's the most modern gameplay id software made anything newer would have played more closely to what doom 3 was
no one in their right mind would keep going on with quake's gameplay because it's hated by everyone who didn't instantly love jumping around corners at 100 miles per hour

>>8981128
look I knew it was bait but now you're just overplaying your hand

>>8981060
tbqh imo i liked 2016 and how relatively down to earth and edgy it was. eternal going full wacky comicbook shit and constantly telling you how cool you are is what threw me off. when you have to *tell* the player how cool the character is, you`ve already lost.
just gonna keep drowning out my sorrows in mods, because they kinda btfo whatever the hell doom became in the end.

>>8981134
>it was bait
>overplaying your hand
please anon almost everyone hates quake besides a few nerds who play it exclusively singleplayer nowadays
it's like if doom didn't have a cult following

>>8981126
I was lobbing it for you to reply with "Quake but more modern" but you dropped the damn ball

>>8981128
>>8981138

>>8981136
I'm totally ok with random people seeing doom man as a terrifying force of nature, he kind of has been since day one, but they go way too far with it
Also calling him doomguy diagetically more than a one off gag (like the mortally challenged shit) feels way too forced. I'd have liked it if the nerd simp from the dlc was the only one to call you doomguy in that one scene where he immediately goes "I'll shut up now", would've been kind of funny. But nah, more and campier = better.
At the end of the day though, you can tune out most lore shit (operative word: most, playable cutscenes are gay) so it doesn't bug me as much

>>8981148
I had considered saying that actually, I guess I chose poorly
gomenasai sensei, I will sudoku for this failure

ACS Scripting just fucking clicked for me. I can now pretty much put whatever the fuck I want in the game. Of course the first thing I did was a degenerate coomer fantasy that I know will never make it into an actual game. I replaced the enemies with naked Latina BBWs who let out massive farts after dying. Right now working on an IDF mod. That is a mod where you play as Hamas and fight naked IDF women who try to smother you with their boobs.

More like COOM amirite?

>another soul lost to the Count

Nu-Doom isn't much like Doom at all, not sure why people insist on linking the two together on anything more than the most superficial level. Doom is all about fast and fun gameplay with next to zero story. Nu-Doom is about medium speed and decent gameplay (compared to contemporaries) with an increasingly retarded, overwrought story. They have an entirely different tone from one another.

I remember people thinking it was so cool when 2016 came out and Doomguy punches the monitor. It was like, fuck the story man, Doom is about gameplay! But then in the same game you're force fed story shit and it just got worse from there. And cornier. Whatever, that's their prerogative, old Doom will always be here.

>>8981187
Maybe you just need to get gud and read a book.

>>8981187
Thing is they're so retarded they don't link the fact that hes punching the monitor for story reasons
hes just saying no i will not be your slave or you're a retard you caused this issue to begin with
nu doom went above people's head by how crap it is just by being subtle

>>8981187
>in the same game you're force fed story shit
that got me too, i enjoyed 2016 but only surface level of it being a reboot after many many many years without a game, and it had a multiplayer mode and snap map, 2016 was a good game

then Eternal happened. just get to Quake already, sheesh.

Most boards they just gave up on sadly

>>8981309
>one tranny post still discuss the actual games involved
>mods lose their shit and even purge the posts talking games

>>8981315
/vg/ is possibly the worst, as the jannies lurk only the threads they cared about pre-promotion and some are in with cliques there and selectively ignore reports of shitposting from their friends, e.g. halogen having that forced endless meme spammed for actual hours uninterrupted, but one nigger-word got banned in the middle of it showing the hotpocket was allowing this all to happen
anyway enough lamenting, since this is also offtopic

just played chex quest 3, what the fuck were they thinking?
i know it's just some shitty licensed game made to sell cereal, but come on. there's barely any ammo, too many dark areas, and while you could give chex quest 1 and 2 a pass, the third game is from '08! they had 13 years to improve the design and it still makes the same mistakes!
i didn't even bother finishing the 3rd one, i ran out of ammo in the last map and just gave up.

>>8981187
i find there's more shared gameplay wise than you think (especially next to other AAA fps),i mean,the master levels even let you simulate a pistol start.

though the story id have to agree on,but you can ignore it.

and even if you hate the new games,there are always megawads for your dose of DOOM.

>>8981335
how did i get "filtered" if i was about to finish the 3rd game?

made a thing: https://files.catbox.moe/f40h8a.zip
for vrskins, I guess. two versions, one is doomguy-sized with 1-bit alpha, the other at twice the resolution and with 8-bit alpha. I don't know the technicalities or what to look out for.
feel free to use for whatever. model originally by some anon from /3/, shotgun is from blendswap.

>>8981406
Because you're bitching about a lack of ammo in cereal game 3.

i wish someone could do a samus player skin off her super metroid and fusion sprites

>>8981502
but there is a serious lack of ammo, most of the items in those game are health related.
i got through the first game mostly using the game's equivalent of the plasma rifle, i had about 700 ammo for it at one point but little to no ammo for the other guns.
in the second game there were way less energy cells and i barely got through the whole thing with the shotgun alone, there was one level where i had to use the chaingun because i ran out of shells. or "zorch refills", whatever.
third game is even worse than the second, i think it mostly has to do with the amount of enemies. you might say i shouldn't try and kill every single enemy on the map, but if the game isn't going to give you enough ammo to be able to kill as many enemies as possible then that's a design problem.
also, i'm just sharing my thoughts on a game, i'm pretty sure this is what these threads are for.

>>8981495
>Simpson's redneck rampage

Finally got my first custom Doom 2 monster working.
It's just a Brazilian Cacodemon (i.e. recolored and given OP stats and attacks), but it's a start.
Is there a better infobase for DECOHack other than the official documentation and the ZDoom wiki? I keep running into weird hiccups, like ZDoom wiki's DECORATE examples using A_NoBlocking instead of A_Fall (among other functions I can't use) and the DoomTools DECOHack documentation listing Thing Flag aliases that don't work ("FRIENDLY" throws an error in DoomMake, but "FRIEND" works seemingly as-intended.)

>>8981527
Can't say much for CQ2 or 3. The first one it's kinda of boring on lower skills but a lot of fun on Super Slimey! If you ever wanted to play Doom on NM but find it way too hard go for CHEX on skill5. Is a lot more accessible and enjoyable.
