>>9192829
If she is not playable in a 3rd person Doom mod I'm gonna learn to mod/program just so I can make that game.

Ok I'm full of shit, but WHO

>replaying Hexen using the Walpurgis mod

I forgot how tedious and dull Hexen's levels were, and this is already with a mod that mixes up the encounter design a bit and throws in new enemy variants so you aren't just always fighting one enemy type at a time.

>>9192853
eh. Heretic and Hexen CE when

Doom 64 is free on Epicgames store for a limited time. Is it worth grabbing?

>>9192975
Definitely worth playing, though idk if the fanmade one or the release that came with Eternal is better.
Speaking of which, what's the best way to play PSX DOOM?
Is it even worth a play?

>>9192975
Nice, thanks for the heads up.

>>9192981
>PSX Doom

Why play an inferior port? All the 'extra features' were just salve for the low framerates and various missing elements. Most ports offer nothing, unless there are real enhancements at no detriment to the original game.

>>9192975
You can grab it from gog-games, so you don't need to download a client to get Doom 64 for free.
>>9192981
Either use a PSX emulator or PsyDoom. (https://doomwiki.org/wiki/PsyDoom))

Ah, back from my refreshing 3-day vacation with assurances that my landlord is no longer serving FOUR ENTIRE APARTMENTS with one fucking router and a switch. Last time I get a place with internet included, let me tell you.
So, titlemap. I'm working on the camera, and I have no idea what one of these is better. Basically there are two options: Option A is this webm, where the camera twists and turns to look through each portal before shooting off. Option B is the next webm, where the camera goes straight through.

>>9192981
PSX Doom and Final Doom are a bit more reduced maps but the atmosphere is really different. PsyDoom is a faithful port and you have also Doom/Final PSX/64 CE that include expansions and extra features including previously removed archviles, ambient sounds and bump mapping

>>9193021
Option B. If I were to do this one, I'd rotate the insides of the portals so the cam can see more stuff as it passes. This is also faster. Note that the blue screen at the end turns into the TITLEPIC lump normally.

>>9192975
its a good game,not amazing (id say the combat is mostly weaker than DOOM2), but its good.

>>9193021
>>9193031
Out of these two, I prefer option B. Also that it would be much faster in revealing the TITLEPIC. Will you put an option in to turn off the TITLEMAP altogether?

>>9192975
Nothing is worth grabbing on Epic Games Store. You're better than this, anon. As >>9193001 mentioned, you can just take it from GOG.
https://gog-games.com/game/doom_64

>>9193058
I'm going to release a version sans-TITLEMAP for those who want it. It's really, really simple to do so I figure I might as well. I don't really want to go with two titlemaps plus a no-titlemap though, that's excessive.
I'm also thinking about moving the mod to an itch.io page since a bunch of people did that and it'll allow some channels for feedback that aren't here, but also aren't either cancerous discord chats or existing community forums that I don't want to associate with.

>>9193060
What a hard on for GNU and the like. OR you could pirate the actual N64 ROM instead and use Doom 64 EX or whatever its called and save some bandwidth. I really can't understand people complaining about being able to get free games. Like, they think their ISP doesn't see everything they do online and that installing a fucking game store app/launcher is going to shred their l33t cred or something? Get real. Real digital

Doom 1 ~ Doom 64 > Final Doom > Doom 2 >>>>>>> Doom 3

That's a fact.

Anything similar to russian overkill but maybe not quite as fucking OP to power through the NM in UD or maybe FD?

>>9193091
Dakka maybe? It's not that similar to RO though, just a higher power mod for hard mapsets.

>>9193094
Problem with dakka is - for whatever fucked up reason the interface bar is suspended somewhere in the middle of the screen and pressing fire REMOVES THE WEAPON and switches to fist.

>>9193085
Spitting the fax like a plasma riffle desu.
64 and Final may switch places depending on mood tho.

>>9193085
Correct

>>9193094
tbhf UD still kicking my arse on the third level

getting my value out of that GOG Hexen/Heretic pack but you cant pay to get me to stop playing Chasm the Rift

>>9192975
It's absolutely worth grabbing, just steer clear from Timmy Tencent

hey does anybody know some cool cheats to maybe help beat Doom on UV? Cause on sites like gamecheats it's all bullshit that game doesn't accept

>>9193136
Wtf, anon

>>9193063
>an itch.io page
Honestly, I'd say that's a great idea. I'd also throw a few bucks your way as well, because I enjoy Babel immensely and it's been my main gameplay mod for the past few months now.

>>9193081
>What a hard on for GNU and the like.
I just rapidly grew tired of Windows with 10/11, so I took back control of my own hardware.
Timmy hates me for this and the feeling is mutual, I already have Doom 64 from Steam anyway.

>>9193063
>I'm also thinking about moving the mod to an itch.io page
Good call. It's where I manage all of my shit nowadays. I don't get many comments on my mods though, it's just mainly you boys here.

>>9193175
You forgot the fire selector on the Separated Arms ZM cookoffs.

>>9193180
Is that even a thing?

>>9193187
Only rifles with the fire selector are able to cookoff in the first place, but the little orange pip above the grip representing the fire selector disappears on the cookoff sprites compared to the regular pickup.

>>9193204
Ah fuck I had it backwards. I'll add that to the todo list.

Scythe is fucking amazing.

>>9193204
Single fire ZMs can cookoff. It's all about rate of fire, if you keep hammering the trigger, it will heat up. Letting a full auto ZM cool off for even a second or two after 10/15 rounds or 3/4 bursts will let you keep firing it for much longer without cookoffs. The reason burst cooks as well and stays heated for longer is because of the hyperburst firerate equalling that to the fuller auto firemode on the vulc.

>>9193171
Oh no, STEAM?! Bah I sometimes respond harshly to shit here because we all know about pissing into oceans of piss etc. Doom 64 EX was legit tho. Didn't finish it a couple months ago when replaying it. Ah well. Cheers.

>>9193227
I think the ZM's electronic trigger delay is long enough to prevent single-fire from ever cooking off. Either way, no unique sprites / sprite definitions exist for a cookoff from a semi-only ZM.

>>9192981
I liked this one https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-ce/downloads

>>9192829
trying to run zdl on linux
i can get zdl to launch gzdoom but it cant seem to pick up my iwad from the zdl menu?

Which games would be better, had they been conceived on a different engine? I'm not talking about porting the game 1:1, but rather if it had been developed from the get-go with said engine's quirks and perks in mind. Let's say the technology can't be more than 5 years ahead of the game's initial release.

>OG Rise of The Triad on Build Engine.
>Daikatana on Pain Engine.
>Duke Nukem Forever on literally anything except Unreal Engine 1.
>Nu Rise of The Triad on Serious Engine 4.
>Nu Shadow Warrior on idTech 7.

>>9193269
it also wont load any wads either. zdl just launches gzdoom with whatever iwad i had in the config folder

I was on the internet today, and I found this.

>>9193293
I also found this.

>>9193269
Is there even a native version of ZDL, or are you running it in Wine?

>>9193297
theres a linux version yea
https://github.com/lcferrum/qzdl/releases/tag/3-1.1
i think im just gonna use a shell script but im having a bitch of a time getting it to launch when i have a wad

>>9193301
I use DoomRunner, it's corrupted my configs the couple times my computer crashed or I lost power, but I found where they're stored so I can back them up, and I've had no other issues with it.

>>9193293
>>9193295
Quake 5 will be an ensemble-cast grrl power game in the vein of Birds of Prey, featuring Hunter, Crash, Slash, and Nyx and their wacky adventures in defeating racism (Lovecraftian entities) and fascism (The Strogg). Also Hunter is darker and Slash is asian now.

>>9193279
>Pain Engine
Trying to get Necrovision running properly has given me a lasting hatred of the Pain Engine.

>>9193308
>Slash is asian now.

>>9192853
> playing Hexen for combat
Hexen gameplay actually starts when all enemies are dead. Killing them is just an intro to puzzle-solving. Spent half an hour yesterday night turning bull statues on and off trying to lower the green gem column on Lost Luxury (didn't succeed), peak SOVL.

>>9193279
>OG Rise of The Triad on Build Engine.
Sounds really cool, I have a feeling it would be an earlier but maybe better RTCW.

>>9193347
It's fun throwing a bunch of enemies off a cliff with that ring or leading them into a poison/bomb potion trap. One other fun strat I've found for the Cleric is that you can push poisonous clouds into a room with the Disc. But yeah unfortunately that's pretty much it for Hexen combat.

>>9193347
God Hexen 1 sucks so much.

>>9193370
Combat in 2 feels even worse.

>>9193367
>One other fun strat I've found for the Cleric is that you can push poisonous clouds into a room with the Disc
Gothic cropdusting.

>>9192834

>>9193342
watching anime and bleaching your skin does NOT make you japanese
>>9193315
i love pain engine's movement and physics, as retarded as they may be at times. much less stiff feeling than quake 2 engine, especially with the smoother animations. i'd also say it holds up tons better than other 2004-ish engines with how well it runs and how nicely it handles pretty models and textures.
i think it'd fit the feel daikatana was going for and make it play less shittily, especially with the wonky weapons.

Finally done with detailing. Now all I need is monsters lmao.

>>9193370
>>9193378
Holy FILTERED
Hexen brought something that was sorely missing in Doom and that's exploration and an actual atmosphere. While the combat can be a bit stiff at times, its other qualities more than make up for that. At the time, Raven had a lot more passion for game development while id were too busy being celebrities.

>>9193405
I've beat Hexen on skill 4 like 5 times now, with all 3 clases, deathkings like 8. The combat fucking SUCKS and I don't understand anyone that plays fighter outside of multiplayer.

>>9193427
>the combat fucking sucks
>btw I've beat the game a zillion times
Huh??? If you can't appreciate it, don't play it, simple as.

>>9193430
Not that anon but it's a fact, and despite that I still love the game for all the other things that were mentioned.

>>9193430
I appreciate it for its other aspects, but do understand that those do Not and will never overcome the issues that it has. It doesn't need to but they should also not be overlooked or tossed aside as like, 70% of hexen is pure combat and parts of hub 3, hub 4 and korax fight is pure slaughterwad tier stuff. Nevermind the sheer fucking walls of meat you have to cheese through in deathkings.
The combat fucking SUCKS DICK in vanilla so I mostly replay it with mods that enhance such.

Thanks to whoever recommended Divine Frequency demo on /v/, it was great.
Are there any notable Resident Evil-like wads with ammo starvation, multiple treacherous paths and interwoven levels? Something where the combat doesn't leave too much space for finesse, so the order of encounters and resources you spend matter more than aim and dodging.

yo is smooth doom compatible with ancient aliens?

>>9193485
Ask yourself, why wouldn't it be?
Common sense can get you very far you know.

>>9193491
He plays Smooth Doom because of his smooth brain pls understand

>>9193491
Ancient Aliens have different palette so if smooth doom changes sprites it would look... interesting.

>>9193405
i disagree about Doom being atmosphereless. the midi kinda ruins it sometimes tho especially the first track what was Bobby thinking...

what's the purpose of the ring of shadows on e1m3?

what's your favorite song from the community midi packs?

What's the theme of 94 protons? Something duke nukem themed?
Just grabbed all the resources, probably not gunna submit anything but these textures are cool

>>9193538
Escaping the doomed fortress, Introducing Mrs. F Tier, Wank City and whatever one for secret level of No Rest called.

>>9193491
Because if AA changes sprites then it would look really fucking weird since SD adds extra animation. FUCKING RETARD

Why does it always have to be A COUPLE OF FUCKING ARCHVILLES _AND_ YOU HAVE NO AMMO

is it wrong to cheat in ammo if a game refuses to give you any for a boss fight that absolutely requires it and expects you to have fucking clairvoyance throughout the past 2 maps so you conserve enough cells

>>9193575
that's when you use the quad

>>9193575
press square to chainsaw duh! kek

>>9193581
i don't think the rogue expansion has quad, only double damage
i had a defender sphere and an invuln and even with both + all the ammo at my disposal i couldn't kill it before i died to the unavoidable kamikaze drones
meanwhile a few bfg shots and some chaingun fire is enough to down it without any buffs
fucking stupid encounter
>>9193583
huh?

>>9193538
sadly none of it

>>9193587
Doom Eternal joke i'm so sorry.

>>9193590
if this piece of fucking shit did 50 damage instead of 10 and gave back a random ammo drop on kill it'd genuinely make the expansion better

>>9193593
kek

>>9193538
I like "Catnip Forest" from Master Levels pack.

>>9193596
>>9193538
oh right i said none of it but this one is good and maybe Archvile King too.

>>9193593
Why does the lighting look so terrible in this screenshot? Fix your gl_modulate, everything is too bleached out.

>>9193606
i fucking warned them about the damn imp but they wouldn't listen.
looks interesting

>>9193608
He's playing Quake 2, it's supposed to look terrible.

>>9193575
>>9193587
disregard these posts i didn't realize the defender sphere had damage resist
went back and used the invuln separately and barely won

How to get rid of this obnoxious fucking bullshit?

>>9193624
uninstall wad.exe

>>9193624
Try fucking around with your HUD_Scale in the console.

Alright boys it's that time of the week again, FUCKING SCREENSHOT SATURDAY! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? MAPS, MODS, SPRITES? NOW'S THE TIME TO POST THAT SHIT.

>>9193628
Already found it in the settings but thanks

>>9193631
This is the worst level in human history. Seventh in SOD

>>9193647
You made this?

>>9193659
no. I don't make levels, I play em. Don't care about LE RULE of replying to the post

>>9193624
Play something that isn't D4D like D4T or Embers of Armageddon.

D4D is obnoxious as fuck

>>9193663
It's kinda what I need right now, I feel like I played some much vanilla type dooms that I got burned out a little.
Need something fun and mindless and not super hard now

>>9193663
Is d4d even still being developed? Also, it occurs to me that that image wouldn't look half as bad if there were alternate versions of those sprites with no hands on them.

>>9193680
I think it got bailed on at some point after he was trying to incorporate Doom Eternal features into it before that game was even out.

What's the name of that mod where it ACTUALLY makes it play like doom 4 with jumps n shit and ACTUALLY has level from it? Not d4d or d4t

>>9192975
My account was laying dormant (could not grab Bioshock and other giveaways because some region shit which I fixed yesterday) so decide to add it and now it is asking me to download its client. No way.

Grabbed EX instead and started playing it. What is that horror hallway like music? I was expected metal beats. Turned down the music because it felt lame. And I thought Doom 3 was their first attempt at making a horror game.

>>9192975

Replayed Doom 1 and felt like a smooth butter. Why couldn't they make Doom 2 like that too?

>>9193434
> The combat fucking SUCKS DICK in vanilla so I mostly replay it with mods that enhance such.
Can you rate Wrath of Cronos, Walpurgis, Brutal Hexen (and others combat mods I don't know) between each other? I am really enjoying BH-enhanced monster behaviour currently, and WoC was great with upgraded monsters variety, yet to play Walpurgis.

>>9193342
Slosh is russian jap

>>9193575
when i upscaled this fucker i noticed that some of the textures, even as pcx suffers from texture warping caused by MD2.

I love techbases.

do not give the shitposter (you), wait til the jannies give him a 3 day vacation once more because the anti quakes and dooms baits are obvious.


>>9193663
i gave D4T a chance along with D4D years ago, but nowadays i can't bring myself to play it anymore.
it is good, but it becomes boring later on and less challenging.

>>9193210
Wait till you get into Scythe 2. You are going to cum.

>>9193308
Sounds fun unironically.

My semi-final thoughts on Ground Zero are that it makes a valiant effort to create engaging fights given how shit Q2's enemy behaviors are, 99% due to the enemy-generating Medics and Turrets, but it's fucking retarded how the turrets don't have an idle sound and can't be destroyed before they appear, and whoever made medics immune to the BFG when they crouch may bite the deepest reaches of my asshole.

Also Daedaluses are stupid useless grenade sponges that aren't even fun to kill with your surplus of grenades because of how they move + their shit ai + your GL's shit projectile orientation and arc.

We got a forum retard bingo. Go back to your bulletin forums, we like freedom here.

>>9193763
Ground Zero is a great example of how 1 small thing can ruin an otherwise great map pack/wad
The turrets are so incredibly obnoxious and the ruin the gameplay pace because they teach you to constantly look over your shoulder every time you pass a doorway so that you don't get insta-killed

umm?

There's your issue

Do you just noclip and shrug it off or do you cancel the entire run? there is an invisible bridge which i cant lower and it blocks the next area

>>9193802
Gamebreaking bugs just take the fun out of things so unless the map is super good I peace out. I'm autistic about using cheats, even if it's to get out of a map error

If Run from it is the spider level I love it. The next (I think) level with archvilles in cages AND NO FUCKING AMMO is a let down.

>>9193751
FILTERED

>>9193756
sexy.

>>9193720
>WoC
Pretty close to an 8.7, the new additions are kinda fitting (minus parias) and there's some nice amount of replayability to it. Don't like the massive amount of inventory juggling. Some of the spells are just uninteresting copies of something ripped off from WoW (including the goddamn icons) or some other MMO, although combining some effects with certain weapons or items can be quite a treat, it feels somewhat boring in a way.
I'm rating it that and not a 9 because of Parias and because some character starts (mainly necro, assasin) are rather boring or lackluster.
>Walpurgis
>Parias pussified again
>implying anyone ever plays druid with that awful voiceacting
It's actually close to a 8.0, maybe a bit lower.
Don't like some of the new monsters, it's like they saw Centaurs and said "Invuln frames are the next best thing besides sliced bread!" and made a Revenant version of it. You'd probably like it though, just don't play it on skill 4 (aka nightmare equiv) like I normally do because it's godawful.
Mage actually is amazing to play in this mod and the sole reason I'd ever try it. Too bad they fucked up the magic balance and made the lighting spell not only consume more green mana per attack, but also kill things slower than the two blue mana spells, specially in comparison to Ice shards which are absolutely sick in this mod.
>Brutal hexen
Don't like it, doesn't fix any of the issues with hexen combat. Also fighter focused. 4.2.
>Other mods
Hexercise is actually amazing and it saddens me that nobody ever mentions it. Easily an 8.9 for me, but sadly just a solid 7 in reality because newer versions of gzdoom make it break certain scripts on a lot of maps making it virtually unplayable if you don't know how to fix it.

For comparison, a 10/10 would probably be playing with something like Demonsteele and having a monster mod that replaces Centaurs with something else or removes invuln from them.

>>9193560
sounds like a skill issue to me

>>9193831
Doom 3 will always work better on a CRT, carmack's tech autism wanted people playing on high end ones like the super triniton.

>>9193720

>>9193717
the pact with satan was only for one game...

>>9193856
to be fair almost anything kinda works better on a CRT. if it wasn't so inconvenient and expensive i'd get a giant one with HDMI 1080 input.

>>9193717
>>9193859
Am I normalfag? To me Doom 2 just felt like "more of Doom 1 but with a super shotgun and a couple of new enemies". Why do people act like they're so incredibly different?

>>9193878
Downtown.

>>9193878
level design and aesthetics are pretty meh in general compared to 1

>>9193878
The added monster roster changes up stuff and fixes a few gaps.

>>9193167
Oh man I would never take money. Defeats the whole purpose for me. Thanks though.
>>9193175
Yeah it's more about having it open at all for bug reports than getting huge feedback. Makes it easier to keep track, searching posts with "Babel" on warosu when I have to dip out for weeks/months isn't that efficient.

>>9193279
It’s actually shocking how much better ROTT would have been if you took all of its ideas and gave it an engine like Build. Might have straight up made Half-Life before Half-Life.

Hell, even that Return of the Triad mod for Doom shows how great it is when it’s not confined to an upgraded Wolfenstein engine.

>>9193878
doom 2 had harder enemies and good map design that utilized them
doom 1 was just a demo where you clicked on hitscanners with the shotgun to win

>>9193840
I don't like how the newer versions of WoC added the synergy shit to the skills and made summons scale off a separate stat from everything else.

was firing Hall and Romero a good choice?
i don't remember why Hall was fired.
Carmack in his last interview expressed some kind of regrets in the way he handled id's strategy as in maybe they could have hired more and let other projects develop in parallel instead if single releases at a time.
ROTT would have benefited greatly from id's tech.

>>9193907
>>9193926
forgot to quote sorry.

Lost Luxury is the best Hexen hub I've played so far, just solved bulls puzzle, onto to steel factory level, highly recommend

>>9193926
>>9193928
Romero? Possibly, he really wasn’t pulling his weight at the time, even though he was right about ID becoming too stagnant.

Hall? Absolutely, dude was Chockfull of great ideas at the time and clearly put the work in when necessary. Even Doom, a game he wasn’t interested in, got a full Bible from him trying to explain the lore and flesh out the world only to be told to fuck off. I think apogee/iD should’ve worked closer together and let Hall do more creative stuff with iDtech because ROTT shows how good he was at creating interesting gameplay mechanics

>>9193926
>>9193974
Id was fucked before Romero left, really but it became more about the engine and less about the gameplay and stuff.

Quake was a fucking mess with stuff like the non-boss fights as a result.


Tom got screwed so fucking hard by Romero buggering Ion Storm and never seemed to get a break after that, at least not in the way that somebody like Sandy did by finding his way into stuff like Age of Empires.

Where do I buy lives in Stronghold? Is it in the shop with the powerups?

>>9193608
Isn't that an official screenshot?

>>9194007
I think it might be.
But if your Quake 2 doesn't look like this, you're playing it wrong.

God I love the mission pack skyboxes.

Ah, to be young again and to be playing coop with a friend from across the pond...

>>9193986
Sandy Petersen had a better success after it than Romero or Hall

>>9194007
Yes it is, but quake 2 filtering was notorious for sucking badly in higher res.
in fact it was obvious the game had high res in mind per beta and promo screenshots, but no voodoo 2 would handle it

>>9193085
Switch Doom 1 with Doom 2

>>9194034
BOOO

>>9194025
This super-clean high-res texture pack you're using is pretty gay. Stroggos is supposed to be dirty and grimy.

>>9194025
>Sandy Petersen had a better success after it than Romero or Hall
He did in so much that he actually did other stuff of note, even if he's not ever been a huge name.

Romero's done, well, actually very little, sort of followed Tom through companies after a while, even ones that ended up making mobile games.

I guess lately he set up a company to make games but that's also his wife's thing with some nuX-Com-alike.

>>9194037
I'm sorry but it's true. Doom 2 has larger and more open-ended levels with denser enemy encounters. And the inclusion of the SSG in some maps makes pistol-starts more interesting. Not to mention the fact that the extended enemy roster is iconic at this point. My only legitimate complaint would be the fact that there are too many Pain Elementals. It's like idsoft didn't realize how OP they were.

>>9194056
PE are a non issue to me especially with a chaingun or an SSG but yeah i agree at least about the added monsters and SSG they are quite cool.

I'm interested in any Doom wad recommendations that tweak the arsenal without completely replacing it,

things like rebalancing or adding secondary fires to existing weapons

>>9194074
Dakka, more so the old version (0.06 or so) if you're looking for something closer to vanilla than the recent ones.

>>9194068
Oh no, I agree, my issue is more so with the placement and amount of them. It's just jarring playing pwads and returning back to Doom 2 since it feels like most mappers understand that the PE is a dangerous and high priority enemy (especially on non-vanilla complevels). But in Doom 2 they're just treated like cacos and haphazardly placed around some levels. Pistol starting barrels o' fun is never a fun experience.

>>9193631

>>9194094

>>9194150
Literally the whole reason I'm doing this is just to replace one section of this sprite because I don't like it. Original is this.
>>9194153
At least that part is hidden by the offsets lmao

>>9194160
yes they betrayed the penis in the original sprite.

>>9194080
what happens in the newer versions that the older one is better?

>>9194160
>personalizing babel weapons
Cool. I did the same awhile ago but ended up just missing the vanilla PG look.

>>9193293

>>9194191
Well considering I'm the author it's not so much personalizing as trying to make slightly better, but yeah. I do like that sprite you posted as well. I'll have to do some more tinkering.
Not too much though, I have some other things I want to work on as well.

>>9194189
Most of the weapons were redone to be more impressive and more their own thing, and the mod was fixed up to not use it's own built in monster replacer.

>>9194208
>Well considering I'm the author it's not so much personalizing as trying to make slightly better

>>9194218
No biggie my man I just hate tripfagging so I hardly ever use mine except when posting release updates.
Actually this whole "change the weapon look" thing makes me want to write a small guide on how to do a decorate-based replacement or patch for the mod. I remember a while back some guy wanted to play Babel Monsters with Legendoom and it required a specific compat patch to work right.

Tom Hall really got screwed for no fucking reason. Dude consistently proved he was a team player and only got lax at iD because they rejected literally everything he wanted to do.

His work on ROTT and Anachronox showed he was a brilliant designer who really couldve flourished if he had more access to the latest iD Tech. Damn shame.

>>9194417
His more recent career history is fucking depressing, ended up making casual mobile games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hall#Career

>>9194432
>In March 2013, Hall joined PlayFirst as Principal Designer.
>They haven't made anything since 2011.

>>9194417
>only got lax at iD because they rejected literally everything he wanted to do.
Wasn't what he wanted to do to dumpster fps and go back to side scrollers?

>>9194417
Tom and iD really was a matter of creative differences, they all wanted to go in a different direction from him.

>>9194459
This, tom really wanted to make fun stuff that was a bit on the more cartoony-wacky side, which is why we got stuff like RoTT.

Romero wanted to make darker stuff and then more character-focused stuff and Carmack wanted to make the best engines.

>>9194449

He was the death of id. He sucked out the creativity of the team because all he cared about is the tech. I respect him for his work on the games but I wish he didn't have such a one-track mind.

>>9194527
In part, but what really did the damage was Tim Willits, who was basically systematically fucking over everybody else in the company and using his position as being a voice in Carmack's ear to get him to get rid of people.

is zandronum downstream and therefore less frequently updated?

>>9194504
ROTT wasn't even really what he wanted to make, he's just kinda fond of that game, injecting some of his humor and ideas into it, but what he really wanted to do was to explore Keen games further, a direction which neither iD nor Apogee/3DRealms were remotely interested in at the time.

>>9193631
I finished my 3 map wad more or less so I'm moving on to try out udmf format and making a space themed map.
Stuff like making the sky render over walls to make structures appear to be floating and using self referencing sectors and teleports to cross gaps.
Need to make a custom sky texture that tiles properly first but it should be fun.
Also I checked out the protons textures and they seem really cool, don't think I'd be able to make a boss level for the pack in the time left though, I'm quite a slow mapper

>newer versions of gzdoom make it break certain scripts on a lot of maps making it virtually unplayable if you don't know how to fix it.
I just played up to Castle of Grief without incident. The only technical problems I've noted are that the HUD doesn't show your slot 4 pieces (which was always an issue, even when it was a new mod) and that crushers will softlock you without being able to kill you if you're playing as cleric and you have your extra life. Still a fantastic mod, I'm actually surprised how well it plays on the highest difficulty. I thought making all centaurs into slaughtaurs would be a problem with fastmonsters, but it works out perfectly because when the game throws centaurs at you, there's usually some ettins as well. It might've only been intended as visual variety, but with slaughtaur projectiles, it results in mass infighting and turns ettins into a valuable combat resource. It's the sort of brilliant design that can only happen by accident.

Is my copy broken then? I have issues in Guardian of Ice with the trap room before the visit to the death wendigo room teleport in Guardian of Steel as an ice pillar that is supposed to lower after killing two centaurs does not lower and certain other scripts regarding some puzzles in Shadow Wood do not trigger properly or don't raise/lower certain walls the whole way.

And yeah, despite my issues, the mod is probably the only one that is a cut above the rest in the slew of Hexen mods. Fast, crunchy and fun melee, satisfying ranged support weapons for all classes, good sounds, projectile parrying, etc.
The difficulty isn't actually lowered that much despite being called by the author as an OP weapons mod because of the centaur changes and as you said, playing on skill 4 makes it fast paced and frenetic in some areas.

>>9194923

>>9193541

>>9194930
It might just be a flaw of the original scripting that's more noticeable because of the faster combat. I just had an issue with the second Heresiarch fight in Gibbet where it wouldn't open up the rest of the fight after killing the four chaos serpents. Apparently that script just breaks if you kill more than one serpent at a time. I had to not use firestorm even though it was the obvious best choice for four tightly-packed serpents.

Just because you're slow doesn't mean you're dumb. Looks pretty nice.

>>9195029
It's a novel about a futuristic human-like AI that was used as a warbot being incarnated into an actual human body on a weird planet where everyone can heal super fast and do short-range magic shit, for the purpose of doing some nebulous objective because he doesn't like to ask questions and that's exactly what whoever put him there was looking for in a... employee. Hilarity ensues as many, many murders occur, and conspiracy abounds in the background. I'm not doing it justice, because writing a blurb for it is fucking insanely hard. It's not as anime as you probably think. If you're one of the ~110 people following it right now, please don't out me on Royal Road. Also monday's chapter is my favorite from Volume 1.
So how about that Doom?

I'm kind of genuinely shocked that nobody has ripped any of my code considering that I've pretty much tried to force it on people whenever the topic comes up.

Working as intended I suppose, unless it's just that my code is horrible unreadable garbage in which case lol.

>>9195118
>But by God did I try
And in the end, it was good enough. Honestly, the other weapon I was looking for new sprites for was the regular SMG. I had a few things I was working on but nothing fit right. I suppose I'm just one of those guys who's never satisfied unless he sits down and physically presses a finalize button.

>>9195107
Hideous Destructor. When your standard issue space-age piece of shit shoots too much it cooks off and continues to fire even when you drop it.
Since I replaced its sprites, I needed to replace the rotations for when it's dropped like this.
>>9195103
>>9195118
Fuck the alpha machine gun sprites, seriously. It's nigh-fucking-impossible to line everything up when basing something on them.

>>9195125
Yeah, I had to pretty much just add an entire extra column of pixels to my version to get stuff to start lining up. if you put them side by side you can see that mine's a bit thicker.

>>9195124
>And in the end, it was good enough.
and that means a lot, I was pretty proud to have contributed to Babel. But you know that.

I have the same problem, but even then, I've already made the decision to give all of my mods one last update as a sendoff.

If only GayMOTA was a ZScript mod I'd be able to return the favor. I'm totally useless at Zandy ACS and Decorate. After using all the more "modern" tools it feels like coding with one hand tied behind my back. Hell, even the first version of Babel was like that compared to the newest one. So many fucking inventory hacks, good god.
Anyhow this was one of the candidates for the new SMG that I threw out. Based on some sprite by a guy called YukiHerz or something, with a few edits. I even made flash frames for it.

>>9195171
That "ay" was supposed to be spoilered but okay.

Hooo boy, what a ride. This is how you do a 45+ minute-long map. It's not perfect, but it really feels like a huge adventure, like an entire Demon's Souls world squeezed into one map.

None of the sector light level names make any sense.
I use "bright" because despite the name it makes dark sectors a little darker compared to the default sector light mode but not as dark as software style

Standard, unless I'm playing something where the author specified the light level, like Ashes.

>>9195230
lol, that was me
isn't rekkr one of the official doom addons?

>>9195570
It is now.

>>9195571
well, I guess revae got his happy ending

>>9194295

>>9195230
>>9195570
It's ok I made sure to tickle Revae's balls too.
>>9195570
I think it's the free one and not the full thing on the Unity one.

What are the most aesthetically pleasing Doom wads?

>>9195572
>>9195571
Has been for a while. Sunken Land released after it was already an addon.
I'm generally happy.
>>9195570
It sells maybe two a day average. I don't keep close tabs on it.

>>9195585
Thank you for your service.

>>>9195230
I pirated Sunken Land and still haven't played it.
I promise I'll give you a 20 if I ever go to Cali, don't hurt me Revae.

>>9193631
Spess, ze final frontier, these are the voyages of a mapper nobody gives a shit about.

>>9195597
Thanks for making a genuinely fucking fun mod/standalone gaem.

>>9195586
augzen's sign textures have a cool scanline effect in software rendering and it also has DECORATE for custom dynamic lights in newer sourceports
and it has Deckardguy

Old-games.ru hates doom 3 and hl2

Fuck man, making an itch.io page look good is a bit hard. You need a tiling background image and everything. Sheeit.
I noticed at least 3 spelling errors on the old Babel site and I'm ashamed

>>9195653

For some reason, I'm oddly fond of Moon Blood for being such a simple and chill mapset.

>>9195586
Depends on your choice of aesthetics, I'm partial to some of the Chainworm Kommando maps.

I fucking hate this audio engine. Damn my autism of not wanting to use anything but 11025Hz to match the original audio. I just want a chaingun sound that sounds the same ingame as it does in editor, fuck.

>>9195861
i never know what to use as samplerate and scaling solution. i like linear for some reason.

>>9195593
You ever tried getting a youtuber to play it?

>>9194290
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX_Kb0cDN98
Best FPS soundtrack

>>9195936
Didn't Dwars play it?

>>9195861
Why bother using 11025Hz in GZDoom? The main "good" thing about GZDoom is the fact that it's the only sourceport that properly upscales audio to higher samplerates unlike other sourceports.

>>9195936
Not really, no. I had a leftover key after giving keys to friends and family, so I shot it at Civvie, but with not expectations or request. I don't know if it was even registered.
>>9195943
He did. Sunken Land, too. Watched those.

>>9196008
Powerful autistic forces compel me to try to not have one piece of audio with a way higher sampling rate than the rest.

>>9196010
Fair enough, I respect hardworking autism when I see it.

>>9196015
Yeah I mean worst case scenario I just leave it as-is which is a bass-deepened DSPISTOL so whatever. I was just hoping I could get something even better. I might be obsessing because I searched Babel on youtube for the first time in almost 5 years recently and the only real complaint I saw from the one guy who played it was about sound. Well, that and getting bonered by revvies, but that part was intentional.

How it is there? Only good for original nonsense or fanfic shit is fine there too. Some anon on /adv/ suggested Archive of Your Own for this type of thing a long time ago, but I still haven't really looked into it.
>>9195078
I think Sunken Land already has controller support since it's on GZDoom by default. It might be feasible to make it look closely to Playstation version, but I'm not sure: haven't messed another that engine and REKKR setting in my rushed playthrough.

>>9196092
If you change the levels format making colored sectors should be fairly trivial.
Other than that what else does the psx version have? Animated sky... Less detail.

>>9196121
dark ambient music and reverbs are important too.

>>9196092

No one should be put on a pedestal. I sure as hell don't want to be. You've said this before, there's no need to repeat yourself.
Cus really all you'll be doing in the long run is annoying other anons here.

>>9196287
Sorry for repeating myself, I just could help it because it's true. I'll try to restrain myself from now on though.

Software, it's the closest to actual software render.

>>9193615
Washed out visuals is the worst meme plaguing the idea of an authentic retro aesthetic.

All the old Quake games are supposed to saturate beyond 100% brightness. It's only disabled due to OpenGL limitations. Restoring it can have a huge impact on visual fidelity, especially with more realistic environments seen in Half-Life.

>>9196402
I take it the Steam version still hasn't fixed this? I know it had no overbrights for the longest time

>>9196402
Can't you fake it by setting gamma to 1.3 and then increasing contrast?

How do you feel about the fact that DOOM was renamed into DOOM 1993?
I think NUDOOM should have been renamed into DOOM 2016

I would buy REKKR as a gift for every of my Steam friends, but I don't have any. I unironicalky think it is that good

>>9196410
It actually never really worked to begin with, or rather, it has always worked.
You can hack the driver to disable multitexturing, and then it will work.
>>9196414
No, there is a hard limit on how bright the lighting can get. The best you can do is to just set brightness to 0, which should at least make things a bit more contrasty.

Any recommendation for Doom 3 mods ? I finished it once when it came out and I was thinking about replaying it.

(wtf is that captcha)

>>9196423
Well it was already fucked up censored version.
PS1 final doom is still grate

>>9193715
I forgive you for not liking the start of Doom 64 as it doesnt get good until episode 2, which starts on map07 or whatever the dead simple clone is. The music is based, though. Play Doom 64 while listening to Dr Pierce and it sounds like you're listening to a Fallout radio station https://archive.org/details/William-Pierce-Archive/Pierce-20000812+-+The+Significance+of+the+Holocaust.mp3

>its been almost 3 weeks since my last post >>9141215 ending things on a cliffhanger
Okay now that I solved the predicament regarding my "'accidental vacation'" I can continue and finish what I wanted to do almost half a month prior . . .

>>9196451
I was ready to unroll my list of great custom campaigns but then realised you probably mean the main game enhancements. For that I can recommend these:
Doom 3 Essential HD Pack. Current go-to HD mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/d3hdp-doom-3-essential-hd-pack
CED's Assets Pack. Weapon overhaul, new animations and such. Pick this if you want to make your Doom 3 harder, more survival horror-like (think Killing Floor, Resident Evil): https://www.moddb.com/downloads/ceds-assets-pack
Fragging Free. A huge mod which has it's own campaign but also allows to play Vanilla/ROE. Personally I really hate it for being a mish-mash of things which ruin the atmosphere (Unreal-like dashes, demon summon/possesion, powerups, slow-mo, etc.), but if you look for high-speed action it might be for you: https://www.moddb.com/mods/fragging-free

>>9196525
I had to cheat a little when fighting the Bane unfortunetely , as he kept rezzing the Dragons and a pair of Shambers I hadn't got a chance to gib before he appeared - and without knowing that he can clone himself

>>9194295
i don't get it

>set pm_speed to 300 in console
>game goes from "quake 2 but good" to "quake 2 but better in every conceivable way"
you fuckers lied to me this is great
the guns and weapon switching are a ton more responsive and impactful and the enemies can actually fucking kill you and the corridors are wide enough to bhop / slide around with ease
wtf

>>9193756
The brushwork of the big protusion in the lower left image is based around a huge cock and balls.
I had to add a penis into my maps somewhere.

>>9196597
The core mechanics are great, but it does suffer from typical military shooter bullshit. Quake 2 doesn't have turret sections at least.

>>9196597
I like Quake 4's blaster a lot. It feels good to shoot, even if it's just a pea shooter.

>>9196597
>>9196608
Also check out Quake 4: False Dawn if you've enjoyed the game, it's basically a high quality fanmade expansion.

>>9194013
>>9194014
>>9194017
Take me bacc.

>>9196597
Yeah it becomes fun when you get good movement speed, but it baffles me they made player before stroggification THAT slow. It's set on 160 I think. What the fuck? Was it just to prove "strogg>humans" story point they were going for?
That and General difficulty is total ass. Otherwise I too consider it better than Q2.

>>9196615
what's wrong with general? i thought it was just a damage boost to the enemies so i picked it. does it do something that messes up gameplay?

>>9196617
It also increases their health, to the point of not being able to consistently take out basic grunts with a shotgun blast.

>>9196630
is there some console/config variable i can set to give them max damage but a respectable amount of hp?
