TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST

94 PROTONS OF /vr/ INFOGRAPHIC BECAUSE OP FORGOT

>>9212013
I was just going to post that, but thanks.

Give me more maps like La Ciudadela (Doom 2 in Spain Only MAP19), it's one of the best maps I've ever played

Quake is fun.
Doom is fun too.
Hope you all have fun.

Doom wads are insane these days.

>oi cheeky m8!

>>9212005
ad mortem more like fag mortem lmao

>the false angel is just another case of a modder forgetting that zoom and weapon state keys exist
looks really cool but jesus fucking christ it`s 2022.
why are some people so adamant on using half of a keyboard worth of keybinds for a fucking doom mod of all things anyway?

>>9212110
More = better obviously. If your mod has a gorillion weapons and inputs, then it's clearly high quality.

>>9212110
Even 7 is pushing it, since you can't reach 7 from WASD. If you have more than 7 weapons, stop having that many weapons.

>>9212110
I tried it for a bit and it seems like it could be a lot of fun, but some of the effects spike my framerate and the hud doesn't fit low resolutions.

>>9212113
ironically enough, this one`s actually pretty high quality. but god damn if it requires me to navigate a dozen additional buttons then i`ll just pass.

looking for a mod that adds the lighting affects of smooth doom (e.g. imp balls that glow and light up the environment) without the smooth doom

what's the deal with eternity

>>9212073
Name three (3) insane wads from these days.

>>9212148
Does senile wad count as insane?

>>9212131
nevermind im retarded and didnt realise gzdoom had a lights.pk3 that it comes with

>try blood fresh supply since I've heard it's a lot better than it was at launch
>it still feels, sounds, looks and behaves completely off
fucking how bad was it at launch?

Damn do "people" really avoid picking up the chainsaw? That borders on "playing like a faggot" to me. Sure you get faster access to Berserk fist but that's not on every map, and chainsaw can stunlock Pinkies and Cacodemons without wasting ammo and is also cool as fuck

>>9212163
The dicerolls for stunlocking pinkies and cacos is pretty unreliable in GZdoom. So you'll often get chomped from it.
I have no idea about DSDA or Chocolate's dicerolls, but GZDoom might be the source of the chainsaw stigma.

>>9212171
Cacos sure but Pinkies have never unstunlocked for me ever, maybe once but I never noticed it, it's very consistent. I use DSDA-Doom mostly.

>>9212171
>GZDoom might be the source of the chainsaw stigma
Odd, considering the fact that melee is much better there. You can even stunlock an Arachnotron with the chainsaw when it's near impossible in vanilla.

>>9212163
its dogshit on nightmare tho, cant stunlock pinkies its literally impossible

>>9212130
It didn't seem like that much to me.

What I ended up with
Shift: Style 1
Q: Style 2
Capslock: Angel mode
F and mouse wheel button: Melee
Either Ctrl and Alt can be either crouch or the style wheel
Z: Previous melee
C: Next melee

>>9212121
>Even 7 is pushing it, since you can't reach 7 from WASD.
Take the HLpill.

Made my first ever Doom 2 map, feedback appreciated, especially if I committed any big mapping no-nos. Might be a bit too dark on default gamma settings, see pic.

Target port is PRBoom+ et al., complevel 2.
https://files.catbox.moe/07cws6.wad

minor things i want dsda-doom to do
>let me click on the title screen to open menu instead of esc key
>let me turn off the little tiny timer that appears after levels
>keep endoom after the next update pretty please
see the problem with dsda-doom is that it's targeted at speedrunners while also being the best port of all time in general. they should have made it worse if they didn't want to accommodate slow plebs

>>9212230
the one really minor thing i want is for the thing to mute itself when i alt tab like gzdoom does.
currently the only workaround is that you have to bind a "pause" key (which is different than esc the menu key) and manually pause before alt tabbing.

>>9212235
what would be cool is letting the cursor escape when paused since i have two monitors and could just click out

Trying to get Bolognese to have coloured blood for Caco and Barons/Knights
>To make an enemy spawn green blood, set it's "accuracy" 999, or 998 for blue. "Accuracy" has nothing to do with the monster's actual accuracy, it's a compatibility script only used in Strife that has no actual practical use, but can be used to track a generic thing type with GetActorProperty.
why do these people make everything harder for non-modder normies like me
i dont know how to change le actor property. dafuq do i do

>>9212221
You got me at a bad time. But I'll try it when I get home.

>>9212241
Doesn't it already have an optional patch for colored blood?

>>9212221
Here's a gameplay video:
https://mega.nz/file/l581HLDL#2gLzwAX8Kwdj1mmwzQp-zf2SngOencS48kU0l5r_9Ks
First, I know that I'm shit at Doom.
That aside, some notes:
>At first I didn't like looking for the Shotgun, but once I found it (and later noticed the button) it "clicked" for me, and I ended-up appreciating it
>The encounters are well-balanced for the most part, but they're arranged a bit awkwardly (the door fighting with the Cacos comes to mind, as well as going back into that room after triggering the big fight in the adjacent room; considering working-in some "close door" or "ceiling lower) linedefs in front of your encounter-triggering ones)
>I liked that the Rocket Launcher secret had a couple enemies guarding the weapon itself
>There are some door tracks that need their "Lower Unpegged" flag enabled (I think I motion to one in the video)
Overall, I liked it. Your texture usage is a bit on the cliched side for a "first map", but I encourage you to keep at it and see where the experience can take you.

>>9212287
I dont think so. It's only one pk3 and I didn't see anything like an optional patch in it (then again maybe I couldn't tell). The readme does mention that colored blood "requires an addon" though.
On moddb there's only one file https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/downloads/bolognese-gore-mod-v20
Although moddb has absolute fucking garbage design so maybe I just missed it

Is there an RPG gameplay mod for Doom a la Wrath of Cronos, but with guns? I've tried Death & Decay, but I'm wondering what alternatives there are? (I only just found DnD by accident, and it piqued my curiosity.)

>>9212302
Aw shit, I can't finish watching it because of the quota for the next 6 hours... Massive thanks for trying! I'll keep your notes in mind for my next one.

>>9212360
>Aw shit, I can't finish watching it because of the quota
Yurusanai. I won't let (the fact that I forgot about) Mega's quota get in my way.
I uploaded it to my YouTube: https://youtu.be/G4GTMOL2cUc

>>9212221
Finished it
I like the encounters, it plays pretty well. It could use some visual polishing.

Some door frames move with the door, like red door frame or eye-chasm secret lift's frame. Also red door frame has wrong wall textures.

Some sectors are too dark. E.g; https://i.imgur.com/SrGJMEb.png
Inside the cave is OK, but outdoors should not be blinking this dark.
Eg; https://i.imgur.com/mvdUt6X.png
Right side is kino, left side looks bad.

https://i.imgur.com/Zn00LLY.png
This switch makes a door opening sound to your left instead of the right. Dafuq? How? Is this a bug? It doesn't happen in GZDoom.
I know there's a soul sphere to the left but that's not it. Speaking of, make that room a secret imo.

Pretty sure the ridge with the shotgunners is inaccessible. Even if it were, the cave with the ssg would still be inaccessible because the door to it opens from inside and there's no other way in. There's also two secret sectors there for some reason (68 & 146)

Ending could be clearer. I didn't know I had to climb the flesh mound and I ended up running around for 2-3 minutes. Maybe add dramatically rising stairs to the mound once you press the button or something.

I think the encounters were well-made, I enjoyed it. I'm just nitpicking to help you. You should put it on idworld once you're done with it.
My OBS was set up incorrectly so my first attempt video is utter dogshit quality + no audio. If you REALLY want to watch it, here you go. I know I wouldn't.
anonfiles com /B82f8e5dy1/Untitled_webm
(Not in the video but I did end up finding the eye-chasm secret on my own)

>>9212392
Oh also, inside the cave with ssg & baron, you should make the elevated ceiling above the ssg into sky. There's light coming down from it but currently its just dirt.

>>9212306
found this but it doesnt work for blood splatters. they disappear completely. only blood stains against walls work
https://assets.wad-archive.com/wadarchive/files/39b018dc3eadeb809420899053300676871898e2/bbgore_colored_blood_for_cacodemons_and_bruisers_vanilla.pk3

>>9212389
Enormous props to you anon, I won't forget this. I liked that yours was a "normal" playthrough without a lot of secret hunting, a set of fresh eyes is just great.
>>9212392
>>9212395
Thanks a lot for the breakdown! I know talking back at feedback is bad manners, but this is more of a notes to myself thing.
>Some sectors are too dark
I wanted to theme supernatural/hellish objects with supernatural darkness (soulsphere secret evil eye and marble room ambush evil eye both cast pure darkness), but that's on me failing to convey that well enough.
>right side is kino
Thank you for noticing and pointing it out!
>This switch makes a door opening sound to your left instead of the right
I have no idea why that happens. Everything seems to be in order, the linedef opens the correct door. Vanilla quirk? Who knows.
>Pretty sure the ridge with the shotgunners is inaccessible
It is, the door is actually a lift, I should probably make that thicker, despite liking the gamey logic behind a thin lift better.
>you should make the elevated ceiling above the ssg into sky
AAAH I THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD LOOK IN VANILLA

Again, thanks a lot for the pointers and the time, both of you.

How the FUCK did Eviternity win a Cacoward over Doom Zero????????????????????

would this fit in for a doom map ?
I've been guitar noodling, I'm trying to make my own level themes.
https://vocaroo.com/135kOwAc5roX

>>9212420
lol its fine to discuss anon, i can be wrong. for example;
>AAAH I THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD LOOK IN VANILLA
lmfao my bad. I saw it while messing in GZDoom. yeah no one should notice it if they play with the right port. which reminds me, the dim lighting of the map + software rendered spectres is a nice combo.

>It is, the door is actually a lift, I should probably make that thicker, despite liking the gamey logic behind a thin lift better.
I understand you mean the one in the cave with the baron (which i think is fine as a lift, it even has a texture that stands it out). but I thought that whole area was inaccessible.
i went back to double check and again it was my bad, there is a pass-through midwall next to the passage that leads out of the outdoors area. pretty devious. maybe consider giving us a hint for that, or maybe dont. a lot of maps have secrets like this so its up to the creator.

>I wanted to theme supernatural/hellish objects with supernatural darkness
I think this is a really cool concept, but it might be hard to pull of if you only use pure blacks. See pic related; right sector isn't connected to the cave + blinks way too dark, so it looks like a mapping mistake. In comparison the blinking sector on the left looks decent.
Also for this effect to look more natural you could definitely try doing gradients. If the eye in the ambush room looked like this; https://i.imgur.com/HS3PDLC.png, I would be much more inclined to see it as the eye emitting darkness.
For consistency's sake, maybe consider making the blue skull's environment dark too (like the red skull, which i assume is the reason for the dark cave)
It might be too much for that room to have so many dark corners, but I'm sure you could figure something out like extruding that corner into a dark small mini-room with no door so the blue skull sticks out when the walls go down. or something like that

good luck anon

>>9212465
Because the Cacowards Committee has no taste, obviously.

GOOD MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS. IT'S THAT TIME OF THE WEEK AGAIN ALREADY: SCREENSHOT SATURDAY!
WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? MAPS, MODS, SPRITES? NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO POST THAT SHIT.

Playing Plutonia makes you wonder why Doom II added all these great monsters but never utilized them very well
I mean jesus christ only 90 revenants and 17 arch-viles, step it the fuck up

>>9212465
> tfw dont remember if beat a wad or never even played
Fuck I guess I gotta try eviternity (again) now

>>9212512
Romero didn’t contribute many maps, it was mostly Sandy and American designing the levels under weird conditions. The enemies are certainly realized through Plutonia.

>>9212560
Romero didn't use the new enemies very well either.

>>9212560
>, it was mostly Sandy and American designing the levels under weird conditions.
id was starting to come apart at the seams and Romero was busy with his rockstar developer lifestyle, so it really fell on those two to do a fuckton of maps in a short space of time.

>>9212561
Too busy deathmatching I suppose

>>9212418
>>9212306
I've figured it out.
The pk3 I linked makes caco/baron/knight have the right "accuracy" values. this doesnt work because for some reason bolognese doesnt have coloured blood despite saying it does (i think it used to).
so instead i got the edited version of bolognese from that one mod which combines smooth doom / nashs gore / bolognese which actually has coloured blood for bolognese. this works with the aforementioned pk3 (i still need it because the class accuracy values are set in one of the other two mods, not in bolognese)
question is why did sergeant brazil stealthily remove his coloured blood
this was a colossal waste of time, i thought i was going crazy

>>9212593
>question is why did sergeant brazil stealthily remove his coloured blood
It was only half working, was fucking something else up and it required a patch to stick the blood colours to the monsters and next to nobody bothered with that patch.

Quakesgiving?

Please stake a claim on a MIDI you've settled on so that we don't get doubles, also, you are not restricted to the MIDIs in the folder, feel free to use one you sourced/made yourself.
If the assets update, I'll reply to this post stating so.

Special slots:

>E2 Boss Level: Discuss
Are you interested in making an E2 boss level, do you have anything special in mind, or would you be ok with a modified Icon Of Sin battle?

>Optional Hunted style map: Unclaimed
We could have up to two of these if there's the interest for it. Feel free to be playful with the concept of an Arch-Vile labyrinth.

>Optional Dead Simple map: Finished
>Large city battle level akin to Odyssey Of Noises: Discuss
One suggestion for a larger city level was that we all take turns designing parts for it. How would we best go about this?

>Secret slaughter map, ala Go 2 It: Discuss
Multiple ideas has been suggested. One cool idea was to use an existing /vr/ map as a base and slaughterifying it, is anyone interested in this, and do they have further suggestions for a suitable candidate? Someone else suggested another approach, mind that we could have two secret slaughter maps if we wanted to.

>>9212005
Given that Captain Mozzarella is still absent, I'm gonna need the assistance of someone else who can work with 3D modeling.

Specifically what I need in the nearest future is someone who can overlay 3D objects over a sheet of sprites to get the right angle and perspective for where they're gonna fit. It doesn't have to be perfect, I'll touch it up in post to match it to the 2D base sprites, and it's ok if parts are sourced from someone else's 3D model, they will be credited.

What I also really need is someone who can model some creature stuff, large creature stuff, but it's ok if you can only do the previous part, because it's necessary too. I would basically just need this for two weapons.

Any takers?

I remember watching a video about playing Quake at extreme framerate, and using it to produce high quality motion blur, like temporal super sampling. I can't find it anymore, and I'm not even sure what the term would be for this process. Do you know what's it called and which ports might support it?

>>9212163
My litmus test I came up with 10 seconds ago for this post is that if a chainsaw would not be a reasonably useful pickup in a level, it's slaughtershit

>>9212764
Just for you I will make a level with 400 demons and a tight corridor.

>>9212163
The Chainsaw is great when applied right.

>>9212764
Spread your butt wide, boy.

>>9212764
if i may offer a rebuttal : the mucus flow
probably one of the only slaughter-esque maps that requires chainsaw use

>>9212221
I died a few times due to ammo starvation, I guess you won't get a demo.
Anyway, one thing I noticed is that you have blinking problem on the staircase as some sectors have no darker adjacent sectors and they turn pitch black.

>>9212813
I think I designed it a little too heavily around secret hunting and infighting in the later portion, it's either no ammo or too much ammo, this balancing shit hard. Thanks for playing!
>blinking problem on the staircase
Yeah, no idea what's up with that, worst case I'll set it to flickering lights.

>>9212825
Sector effect 13 (And others like that) will drop light level to the lowest adjacent brightness. But if there's no adjancent sector that is darker it will go black entirely. You need some reference sector adjacent to those that don't touch non-blinking ones.

If you can't put any on the map, you can use J to join two sectors into one and use it to create connections outside (Sectors don't have to be continous)

>>9212825
Protip: Balance a map generally around "no secrets". Secrets are nice to have, but shouldn't be mandatory to even just finish the level.

Infighting is another thing that warrants THOROUGH playtesting. Just having it play out as you intend once isn't enough.

>>9212835
I think it should depend on how difficult the secrets are to find.

>>9212842
If it's obvious it's not a secret.

>>9212848
It's a secret to everyone.

>>9212835
Fair enough, I'll be more careful with secrets moving forward. How do people balance for ammo, anyway? Roughly the enemies' HP's worth + surplus?
Curiously, infighting was far more generous than I wanted 90% of the time...
Also, this was the balance pass which added more non-secret ammo. Whoops!

>>9212825
>I think I designed it a little too heavily around secret hunting and infighting in the later portion, it's either no ammo or too much ammo, this balancing shit hard.
If it helps, I always play my maps all the way through at least 3 times as part of testing:
Once using IDDQD to heal myself when I need it, and making a note of where I do so to better place health/armor.
Once UV-Max, to make sure it's doable, and all the secrets work properly, make sure you have more than enough ammo at this phase, especially if you have ammo in secrets.
Then once more with 0% secrets, getting as many kills as possible with that restriction. If you just barely scrape by, add 10-20% more ammo outside of secrets, gotta account for players who are potentially unluckier with damage RNG.
And as >>9212835
said, balancing around infighting is very tricky to do, save before those encounters and test them several times to make sure they are doable consistently.

>>9212852
>How do people balance for ammo, anyway?
I haven't determined a formula yet, but I look what weapons I have during that specific encounter and adjust to have enough to at least not be completely out of ammo.
However, remember that most people just go spraying and praying and that most people are too retarded to deal with ammo starvation maps, so if in doubt, put a bit more ammo.

That said, something I noticed specifically in 512 lines was that often I literally swam in ammo while there was barely anything to heal, so keep that in mind, too.

>>9212860
>>9212858
There's my new challenge, then. Thank you, again.

RECOMMEND ME A GOOD HIGH QUALITY MAP ONLY MEGAWAD WITH A SENSE OF PROPER PROGRESSION TECHBASE>INFESTED TECHBASE>HELL

Hey, I'll finally be able to host Serious Business Saturday today after so long. It'll start in around 4-5 hours and I'll make another post when it does. If you want to download the maps early that we'll be playing through you can get them here:

>>9212873
You played hellbound? Limit removing, vanilla textures, no dehacked shit, levels have some sense of geographical connection from one to the other, the run of maps around ~15-19 are some ludo infested techbases
The only big problem with it is the levels are all 30 minutes long even if you know where to go so if you don't like quicksaving you'll get very frustrated

>>9212848
Goofus
>>9212851
Gallant

>>9212842
Never underestimate people's ability to miss obvious fucking secrets.

I've had people miss everything from obvious as fuck off colour walls to the Doom-style entrance door behind you being a secret before.

Lightmaps are comfy.

>>9212512
>I mean jesus christ only 90 revenants and 17 arch-viles
good

>>9212938
Absolutely. Don’t the skyboxes do something similar? I remember someone telling me here that the Q2 skyboxes dictated how the areas were lit.

>>9212934
>I've had people miss everything from[...]
And that is exactly why I stopped giving a fuck.
Retard will miss everything anyway, and I don't map for retards.

>>9212956
It's in fact the only outdoor source of light in Quake 2 maps, because there isn't a directional sunlight in the vanilla QRAD compiler.

>>9212962
That’s fucking cool.

>>9212965
That screenshot is using a modified compiler (in fact, doubly so with my own little change), which can make use of a directional sunlight.

>>9213072
Not really, Trailblazer has ammo crafting and upgrading weapons with junk, Wrath of Cronos has alchemy where you mix flasks together for stuff, but that's it really.

>tfw your ideas massively outstrip your video editing skill

Fug it's just like drawing all over again.
I'm too shit to cut together enough clips to make this look as good as it does in my head.

>>9213119
Lol wtf this is awesome, great work as usual

>>9213124
In my mind, it looked 100000x more awesome. God damn I'm probably gonna end up tweaking this shit for at least ten more hours before I come to accept that it's good enough.

>>9213136
It helped that vid came out of nowhere, like “what’s this oh shit it’s a Babel trailer”.
If you want any sort of critique, you could consider creating clips from more iwads/megawads? Maybe disable the hud when you do so? Either way you’re clearly on the right track.

>>9213159
Yeah, it's probably a good idea on both counts. There was just so little usable footage that I ended up cutting mostly 3 levels of plutonia. Now that I have some markers for the timings though, it might be easier.

>>9213119
>>9213159
>disable the hud
This was basically my only feedback, that and the Health Low warning, if they're separate. Looking good, otherwise.

>>9213163
>if they're separate
They are, even the sound and the text are separate technically.
I guess I'll try to get some other footage and do it again a bit later. Maybe once I'm fully awake and caffeinated I'll have better reflexes and editing skills.

Is there any reason not to play the KexEngine remaster of Quake instead of hunting down some other sourceport and setting it up for days until it works? Is the Quake Remaster accurate and works with mods and maps or what?

>>9213208
>Is there any reason not to play the KexEngine remaster of Quake instead of hunting down some other sourceport and setting it up for days until it works?
If it’s taking you days rather than minutes to set up a Quake sourceport then you’ve got problems. Otherwise, the Kexport is fine these days. When it was first out there was a lot wrong with it but I think they fixed most issues.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We'll be playing some more SRB2Kart tomorrow for Sunday Night Shitshow, download the game here if you haven't already.
https://github.com/STJr/Kart-Public/releases/tag/v1.3
The address to connect to will be 51.161.34.159. I hope to see you then!

Optional custom client with 60fps and some other features, just drag the .exe into your install directory:

>Getting in arguments on doomworld?
I just post my maps and leave. Why would anyone argue on Doomworld is beyond me.

>>9213265
That's why forums are essentially dead as a thing. Nobody likes bullshit power games that are constantly happening there.

>>9213267
1.3? I'm away from home and compiled 1.5 today in preparation.

>>9212503
I decided to grab Sonic Mania sprites of chemical plant zones and converted them into the quake pallete to fuck around a little bit, i am planning to release the wad to let people fuck around

>512 Lines - Assyrian Drive
I enjoyed this map a lot. I liked the loopbacks and never really being safe after clearing one area. Took me way longer than I'd like to admit until I figured out how to get to the red key. The warehouse could have been a bit darker, so the Spectres could be more effective. In the end it felt like you needed to fulfill some kind of Revenant quota when all of a sudden it was like 90% of enemies. The vile rape gang was a nice jumpscare, but being fully loaded by that time they didn't really pose a problem.

>no one cared about goldeneye 25th anniversary

How is Voxel Doom?

>>9213346
Or Quake 2’s

>>9213359
It’s great if you like voxels, not so great if you don’t.

>>9213359
Seems to be fine. Pinkies are weird though. It's nice to see decorations that don't rotate towards me. Not as much benefit for monsters.

>>9213363
it's not november

>>9212178
Pinkies/spectres are unique because with -fast/nighmare, the duration of their frames is halved so everything they do is twice as fast; they are stunned half as long and bite twice as quickly

>>9213283
I don't know why anybody would even spend time on there if not to post mods/maps or download something only found there.

None of them are worthwhile places to be, even these threads are more productive by not having the clique bullshit that goes on, on all of them.

>>9213396
It's easy to recruit people for community projects, and you can get some technical answers. I don't really care about sharing my opinions with them.

kek i was banned for disagreeing with someone saying tnt map 15 was bad in a not "polite" way and now i can't even browse the site.
Didn't even use slurs or bad words.
They just wanted an excuse for my past "behaviour".

>>9213412
Doomworld/Zdoom forums are for releasing mods. Any and all actual discussion of Doom should be done here, I hope you learned your lesson.

I think Dead Zone SUCKS!

>>9213384
pretty sure -fast is different to nightmare in this case. dont think their flinch is shorter on -fast.

That would be impressive, I have all of my doubts.

Oh shit guise is that true?

>>9213470
I have hijacked your demo, your computer and your mum for good measure.

any wizards want to help a retard out? lzdoom suddenly wont load my audio devices. A standalone doomclone also refuses to have sound. Other games work fine. I am using windows xp its all that device can run.

>>9213298
Didn't know that there was a new verison. If I can get it compiled in time then we'll use it, keep a 1.3 install handy just in case I'm too retarded.

>>9213494
/v/ & /vm/'s general has 1.3 in the OP, I wonder what the reason for that is.

Are there any notable changes in the add on wads in the unity port compared to the original versions?

>>9213510
BTSX's changes are well documented here
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Back_to_Saturn_X
Not sure about the rest.

>>9213510
Usually it's "This texture or MIDI is taken from a game we don't own the rights to, so we need to replace it to legally cover ourselves."

>>9213486
Please I need to play some DOOM.

So what's the best version of Blood?
N, GDX or FS?

>>9213491
One of the guys there raised a question that is interesting.
Why none of the Q2 source ports removed .wal support yet? Quake 1 did that years ago and it opened the pandora box for mapping.

>>9213501
1.5 was released pretty recently, certainly after the current /vm/ general was started. Probably just a case of copypasta for /v/.
They use their own custom build anyway IIRC, with more memory allocated for mods and a higher player limit, not something we need to worry about unless/until these sessions get bigger.

>>9213529
>removed
Why the fuck would you remove support for something that is critical to handling every extant Q2 map?

How do I jump here? It's 100% possible and I managed to do it twice, but still no idea how I did that. Do I have to strafe here? Or do I just have to turn quickly?

>>9212503
These Astral Imps are tougher, faster, and harder-hitting than their corporeal counterparts, and their partially-phased flesh makes them harder to pick out, too.

>>9213527
NBlood/Raze, the Not Blood fork, GDX are all great. FS isn’t terrible but not ideal and the other ports are better.

>>9213537
I think he meant why .wal isn't Legacy yet just for the sake of compatibility while new maps may uses its own .tga .bmp or any format since .wal and colormap is required only for software rendering.

something even doom mapping did

So, anon, are you a true doomer and able to tell which maps he means?

I'm not sure if those two boys closest to the pie with similarly colored shirts are actually identical twins, are unrelated but one of them got touched up with make up and bits of facepaint, or if this its some sort of 90s digital editing at work...

>>9213601

Chex Quest

How the fuck does anyone beat fucking Marathon. the game is so fucking hard and cryptic with everything, plus the auto centering during movement. I feel like I am in another dimension where games were designed just a bit more differently, and it fucks with me.

>>9212004
Quake 2, one those games from before the 2000s where at least one of the official Expansion Packs is better than the base game.

>>9213634
It helps to read the terminals. :^)

>>9213634

>the auto centering during movement.
Pretty sure you can turn that off.

With the help of someone who actually has the slightest idea of what they are doing, the server has been updated to 1.5. Please update your games.
https://github.com/STJr/Kart-Public/releases/tag/v1.5
Also, a question for anyone who plays SRB2Kart, will Moe Mansion still work with this new version or should I leave it out of the OP tomorrow?

>>9213641
I just skip over the terminals, so much fucking writing when all I wanna do is shoot aliens.

>>9213642
You can not

>>9213660
Moe Mansion didn't allow me to connect when I tried it for FNF so unless something changed on your end about that I'd say probably not. It looks like 1.5 has 60fps anyway, which was all I used Moe Mansion for.

>>9213664
>I just skip over the terminals
Marathon is not the game for you, those contain mission-critical information.

There are plenty of other mindless shooters for that.
Marathon as a Trilogy has not only one of the best stories in FPS games, but it's genuinely great science fiction.

Serious Business Saturday is on! We're not dead! Today we'll be playing through three different maps, one released a while ago and two that just came out. You can grab them here:
>first map: https://mega.nz/file/Bk9TUK7A#r0q4WM5UsI-oSa7DczxYkDk3s65_ANuiE-kP5hDFM0s
>other two maps: https://rakanishu-sed.itch.io/128-mapping-jam-2022
As always, join via specify server with the IP below and wait for the server to fill up some before starting. Since these are three different maps that aren't connect I'll have to reset the server each time a map ends. Whenever that happens just stay on the server and hit whatever button it says to reconnect after a minute or so.
>IP: 45.79.57.115

Are there any Doom monster mods where the monster have some kind of active camouflage? Like their skin will change to match the floors or walls around them? Just something that popped into my head about 5 minutes ago.

>>9213675
>>9213672
Ok, I will replay it reading the terminals. Most were just jibberish, so after like the third telepad I stopped reading them. I am guessing just some of them are just random rambilngs then.

And looking at it, everytime I click on on remove auto center than go back to the game it triggers back on.

>>9213682
It'd probably have to be a zscript-based mod, or else you're basically creating monsters for maps and using some dirty hacks to get it to work right.

Does the game not have permission to edit wherever the configs are being stored? On Windows it stores them in %AppData%/Local/AlephOne

Unfortunately I can't see a switch in the Preferences file that explicitly calls itself Auto-Recenter, but one of these might help. They're from my config, which doesn't have the issue. Modifiers might be the one.
input device="1"
modifiers="33"
classic_vertical_aim="false"

DON'T USE 1.5. IT'S BROKEN AND MODS DON'T WORK WITH IT. USE 1.3.

Can I just skip this shit? It's clearly wasn't made to be enjoyed. It's a really cool wad, I really liked it, 4 hours of pure action, it only had one bad >>9213618 map and one (now two) slaughtershitfests while everything else is pure distilled action, it deserved all the praise, yada yada, but could you please just don't?
I virtually never played map 30 that was enjoyable in any way, everyone just absolutely HAVE to fit as much bullshit into it as they could.

Word Tour was a mistake

>>9213785
I like the lighting. Wish there was a way to use in raze.

>>9213785
*World

>>9213779
The QoL mods listed in that post worked with 1.5 just fine when I tested, are you sure?

>>9213267
>>9213779
No one has updated to 1.5 because it's mostly broken, specially online, and most servers are still on 1.3. You should tell people to stay on 1.3, specially if you intend to use the /v/ mods and client in the future (you should).

>>9213802
>>9213801
Ahh, just saw this, fug. Guess I'll compile 1.3 then.

>>9213568
This is fun but it hurts the eyes with how dark it can get - and this is after a fresh D3 playthrough!
>>9213629
Looks great.

>>9213802
>>9213805
Online is laggy, and few people are using it yet. They seem to be trying to release a 1.6 sometime soon for that, and even then I'd suggest staying on 1.3. It looks like 1.5 might break compatibility with some map packs too. Eventually you'll want to use the CEP client because it has basically everything good from 1.5 without the bad parts, and it's still on 1.3. You can have a look at the current and previous threads on /vm/ if you want to see the situation with 1.4 and 1.5. Just tell people to get 1.3 with moe mansion for tomorrow.

Did okuplok cheat?

I gave up on fucking Marathon, fucking bullshit game with 3 shot kills, insta kill gernade aliens and level design made by a fucking minotaur

>>9213825
>level design made by a fucking minotaur
This can be a compliment depending on what variety of minotaur you're talking about.

>>9213821
What do you mean?

are there any good fan map packs for Unreal?

>>9213829
He's probably referring to the minoan variety, although that one was just a tenant.

>>9213817
Default Quake 2 brightness kind of sucks, period. I think even the Xbox 360 port doubled the brightness, and that's also what I did here.

That's why I am not using OpenGL 3. In fact, this version only supports 1.X.

>>9213681
Well, that's all I got for tonight. Sorry about the second map I didn't know it was not set up for multiplayer. Thanks for joining though, I'll make sure to try and find us a bigger set for next time!

Have you ever played a level for Doom or Heretic and thought to yourself that it could be improved if only it was made with features like 3D floors, colored lighting, etc?

>>9213713
sort of, but more like their skin takes on the properties of the environment around them. Actually I guess there wouldn't be much of a difference. I got the idea from this
>>9213540
You can see through the imp, but the whole imp is blue as well, like he's part of the water. Kinda like the villain from the 2004 Hulk movie if you ever saw that.

What's the best way to play Half Life? I heard Source has all sorts of issues.

>>9213896
Steam release of the original is fine, turn off HD models.
Black Mesa is cool too, though I wouldn't do it for a first playthrough.

>>9213867
Knightmare should had added vulkan into KMQ2 by now

>>9213901
HL Source is broken

>>9213780
Yes, scythe map 30 was a ridiculously huge slaughter map especially for the time it came out, when the description says the wad has maps for every skill level it wasn't lying
You don't even want to know how ridiculous Scythe 2 gets after map 20, but it is very fun and better than Scythe 1 if you quit while you're ahead

>>9213915
Is there even an equivalent to gl_overbrightbits in vulkan? vk_postprocess kind of does this, but it also seems to oversaturate the sky.

>>9213929
i would ask at yamagi devs but idk

>>9213896
So does the original game on Steam. A lot of weird quirks appeared that were not in the original 1998 release, but good luck getting that to run flawlessly on a modern system.

There's also Xash3D for possible visual benefits, but I don't recommend it outside of its novelty factor.

nirvana posted an interview with ribbiks, it's extremely interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgW4Kqkfpbs

is it socially acceptable to use the mp3 format for the music in your own wads ?
I'm to lazy (and stupid) to convert my track to a midi file and gzdoom seems to support the mp3 format.

>>9213949
At the very least convert it to OGG so it doesn't take up so much space.

>>9213949
You can do that, but places like iDGames will usually not host your .wad/.pk3 unless that .mp3 was created by you (ergo not music owned by someone else).
Of course, iDGames aren't the only hosts in the world either.

>>9213950
okay, fair enough anon.

>>9213952
yeah all the music for my wads is homemade

>>9213945
I really appreciate these interviews. I want to see LunchLunch sometime in the future.

>>9213964
What kind of programs do you use for that and where do I get them for free?

>>9213970
i usually just mess about with my guitar and then make it in FL using a soundfont I like, its hard to compose without a real instrument
Anvil studio is probably the best free one you can get and theres also sekeiju or just a cracked version of FL if you don't care about some sputnik trojan potentially being in the .exe
sorry, can't help you out with that tho

>>9213665
Moe worked fine when he hosted on a Wednesday at the start of the month.

>>9213996
Ah, I didn't bother to try it that time, only when it replaced the usual FNF. I got both stock and Moe versions of 1.3 set up for tomorrow anyway, so it's all good.

>>9214001
Moe apparently also makes the game more stable so it's always the better option.

>>9213896
HL:S wasn't built to be a true and proper port of Half-Life to Source, but rather as a way for Valve to advertise how easy the transition from Goldsource to Source was by going "look, we dumped HL into Source in like two weeks, please use our new engine".

>>9213854
A little bump up in brightness and we're good. Otherwise it's been a set of encounters that do not fuck around with what feels like DOPA levels of strained ammo, tricky yet satisfying.

>>9214091

is the new version on the neocities site?

https://files.catbox.moe/afw1mu.mp4
Attempt #2 with slightly less ultrafast jump cuts, no HUD, and mostly the master levels because holy fuck I can't seem to ever get decent footage on Doom 1 and 2 without OBS hitching up.
Yes I did go re-shoot the BFG scene because I like it so much.
>>9214129
4.2.0 because I enjoy making the same jokes I used to make in high school.
>>9214131
Since it's not done yet, no. I'm gonna put it on itch.io instead anyway, since I may or may not have lost the password to the neocities site since it's been like 4 years since I've needed to touch it.

>>9214136
As an aside, why the FUCK does Vegas 14 always blur shit when I render it god damnit. I hate video editing so much, but my autism demands that I have at least a short trailer to fill the trailer slot on itch.

>>9214136
Trailer's lookin fine so far. You planning on mentioning any features during the trailer or just gameplay? I usually make it a point to mention some noteworthy features of my mods in their trailers.
Personally I think you should add a scene of you gibbing an imp with a punch and having surrounding enemies be inflicted with the fear effect. It's a fucking cool feature.

>>9214140
Honestly, I was thinking of making a second video that was hugely long that just explains every single feature and mechanic in depth because writing a manual when it's also my literal job these days to write manuals for shit feels like inflicting torture on myself.
I was trying to get good footage of the fear thing but the problem is that without it going for around... 5-6 seconds on one clip it's not really apparent what's happening. Imp pawnch is a good idea though.
Might just have to do

>whatever map 33 is called
Betray is awful and not official

>>9213968
>not ilya

>>9214139
Oh that's a built in """FEATURE""" with Vegas. You can fix that by selecting all of your footage, right clicking it, going into properties and disabling resampling. I hate it too.
In the future, any projects you do, make sure to disable resamplings when you start a new project. Also disable deinterlacing. You should be able to make it OFF by default with a bit of fiddling. Here's what I use.

I also STRONGLY advise going into your options>preferences>General tab and disabling "Use newsfeed to stay informed about VEGAS product updates." Because that shitty fucking splash screen crashed Vegas every time I booted the software up for awhile, I had to go in and use ninja reflexes to kill it off before it crash my software again. I hate this program, I'm moving to Da Vinci resolve when I move to Linux.

>>9214158
That's some good advice that I will use once I'm done writing my second webnovel chapter for the day. My brain needs rest from dealing with this awful, garbage, dumpster fire software.

>>9214158
I use Shotcut, but I don't do very extensive video editing, maybe I'll regret my choice and need something better if/when I try to make a trailer with it.

>>9214169
One day at a time, buddy. I know that feeling. There's been some writing of my own I've been considering working on in the future.

>>9214173
I hear Shotcut gets the job done. If you're just making simple videos and not wanting to do fancy shit like masking and stuff, you should be fine.

>>9214148
i liked it, aside from the fact you can teleport to the exit without the yellow key and get stuck
it's a perfectly fine early game level
entryway is iconic but there's not much in the means of gameplay
crusher is a retarded gimmick map that exists solely to demonstrate tech which isn't even used again to any meaningful degree later in the campaign
citadel is god fucking awful to navigate and find the means of progression and the combat encounters are pure busywork rather than fun
spirit world gives you 24/7 godmode so it isn't even a map

>>9214209
it was just a nostalgic dev easter egg, an user map he made in 1995. Almost everyone hated it tho.

I put all the doom games on my raspberry pi. To see what doom looks like on a crt tv. Its been a long time. Anyways. I got it working. Plugged in my keyboard. Didnt have an extra mouse. Im gonna get one for it pretty soon. But playing with just a keyboard was fuckin hard. Lol

The raspberry pi source port im using is pr boom. Idk how old or whatever but it wouldnt launch a level of back to saturn x. I could get alien vendetta to play. I loaded up no rest for the living and it loaded with the freedoom monsters. Cause when you download prboom. It auto comes with shareware doom freedoom and freedoom2. Which was fun and im not gonna try and fix. Any ways i got all the games to load up. It was really cool seeing doom again in a crt. And really fucking hard to play keyboard only. I did it like wsda shoot with shift turn with the left right keys doors with space. Numbers weapons etc etc. But anyways.

Now that it doesn't look like there's vasoline on it I might actually do a bunch more super fast jump cuts.

>>9214316
Glad to help. This software is a bitch but at least it can be wrangled to produce good results.
Keep up the good work, buddy.

>>9213028
funny, because nirvana just posted an interview with him and his intentions are the opposite

>>9214291
I'm just really glad that I put punchman in charge of SRB2Kart because the drama surrounding it (that also seems intertwined with the game itself) sounds really confusing. That, and I never played it.

>>9214103

>>9214369
People can't lie in interviews somehow?
Din't he have a map locked behind some invite-only discuck scheme where only people that could prove they could beat another map of his could get it? And that they got a personalized version of said map that if they leaked would get them kicked out of said circlejerk?

>>9214447
he talks about this in the interview and says he feels bad and can understand the backlash and regrets his decision. just listen to the interview instead of making up emotions for a person. kindof disgusts me that you would shit on a person so vehemently who clearly contributed so much to the community. dude even selflessly contributes fixes to random maps behind the scenes (often uncredited).

Anyone have that flat color texture wad an anon made ages ago?

>>9214316
this is great already

>>9214459
It's nice that he does stuff for the community and that he regrets such actions, shows he has the character to face them, but that doesn't stop them from being fact.
Does it really matter that much to you what some random anonymous person on the internet says about someone else? Geez. I don't want to go starting with the whole 'ribbiks defense force' thing but you should tone things down as well. It's almost as if you were personally injuried by just words.

>>9214517
Well then you'll probably like this version even better https://files.catbox.moe/48xc62.mp4
Still need a few more short clips, and there's one or two timings that require tweaking. If only Vegas' audio timeline visualization was more detailed it would be easier, but that combined with the preview hitching when it swaps from clip to clip makes it pretty hard.

>>9214525
Shut the fuck up you little faggot. If you don't think anonymous people's opinions matter, then get the fuck off of 4chan and hang yourself —if you'd be so kind.

24 maps into Doom 2 In Spain Only now, convinced this is the greatest wad of all time. Nothing but gold so far. Maybe the secret exit on Map15 is a bit shit but I'm just gonna idclev to the secret levels after I beat it, otherwise Map15 was fun

>>9214595
Ah. I see so it's like that. I get it.
Nope, sorry that you're this sensitive over someone not liking your favourite mapper.
Hope you can have a nice night. I'm gonna go play videogames.

Do people still make deathmatch maps, and if so, why?

>>9214636
Deathmatch is fun
There's that Mega Man Deathmatch doom mod that I think is still fairly active

>>9214640
I imagine it's significantly easier to make a deathmatch map than a singleplayer map, would I be right in that assumption?

>>9214665
Yes. Making a GOOD deathmatch map is an entirely new can of worms that follows its own set of rules.

>>9214636
I wish people still bothered with vanilla deathmatch. Still very fun on a LAN.

>>9214390
>gantlet and nirvana bad
I can understand Nirvana since it's not a great map, but it's still short and fun, but the Gantlet? And fuck Barrels O' Fun, but mostly the beginning part with the Pain Elementals.

hey guys, I switch pretty often between gzdoom and woof, so I made a HUD that make me always feel at home
nobody over at the zd/dw forums seems to care about it, so...
may I have your feedback?
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=75613

>>9214834
picrel is only one of the four layouts I've implemented

>>9214834
I like color scheme

What's the most optimized source port for nuts.wad?

>>9215025
Anything that isn't gzdoom probably will work about the same.

>>9212835
"Mandatory secrets" are good if you place them for pistol-start-fags, as long as they are relatively easy to find. Examples include Blood or Adventures of Square, where, if you decide to 'pistol-start' instead of playing continuously, you have to work a little extra to find the secret bonuses at the start.

I do too, if I used the Boom HUD I would probably appreciate it a lot more, but I still think it's neat.

https://files.catbox.moe/7h0ov3.mp4
I think I actually like this version of the teaser trailer. The only clip I'm not super hot on is the Cyberdemon death one. If I can get a clip of me absolutely devastating several imps with my bare hands I'm gonna swap it for that one.

OK pal

>>9215482
>I pledge to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage

>>9215474
Nice job, Slowtaku. >>9213712

>>9215487
You are eligible to take the oath after you are done with your literal first ever playthrough of the game

>>9215482
Of course I played at highest difficulty. Is this game a special one compared to every other older fps?

I just used rednukem. How did i not know good this source port is?

>>9215504
On top of this, every older FPS has more content if you play on higher difficulties, and I assume marathon is the same, just like how legendary has only the true endings in halo. Same company so I assume the same methods.

>>9215504
The physics system is pretty weird compared to literally anything else of the same vintage, and it WILL fuck you over if you're not used to it
Higher difficulties often require intricate maneuvers that aren't even possible in other engines
I'm impressed that you survived the fistfights at the beginning of the first level without knowing all this but it's not like you're not here to impress me so who cares

>>9215508
Higher difficulty doesn't unlock any new terminals or alternate endings in the Marathon games
Instead there are secret terminals that are a pain in the ass to reach on any difficulty level

>>9215525
>>9215514
Thanks to both of you, I will lower the difficulty, because the highest one has just been a pain in the backside

As an additional question, does marathon have backtracking? I am noticing so many secrets that don't seem accessible, even with the air floating

>>9215530
By backtracking you mean coming back to a previous level? It doesn't happen, except in Infinity kinda. The maps do often have a fuckton of secrets and areas made just to explore.

>>9215536
Like a good example is in the second map of Marathon 2, there is this ledge area with 2 invisible enemies, and I hasve tried jumping from the elevator across from it. Nothing seems to work and I feel fucking stupid.

>>9215539
Marathon 1 sorry not 2

>>9214834
whats the draw of woof? i just know it supports mbf but so do most popular ports.
speaking of, i havent been following shit. are there any big mbf21 maps yet?

>>9215550
It's essentially Crispy Boom.

What's the best console exclusive map?

>>9215553
Probably either American McGee's Hell Keep, or one of the GBA Doom deathmatch maps.

>>9215558
>GBA Doom deathmatch maps.
that port had exclusive maps?

>>9215564
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_for_Game_Boy_Advance#Deathmatch_maps

>>9215565
Man, those are some pretty bad layouts.

>>9215565
has anyone ported them to pc?

>>9215574
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/deathmatch/g-i/gbadm

>>9215539
In the second map? You need to literally run on top of an exploding grenade to jump up there
There are two of them in different parts of the map, and they're actually powerups, not enemies, and blowing yourself up to reach those ledges is not worth it at all, except to be able to say you did it
But there's a much, MUCH crazier secret in the third map that makes for way better bragging rights

Half Life: Infrared

>>9215589
Yeah after some fucking around, I finally realized it. I just assumed the game wouldn't want you flying around using gernades and shooting. I actually just found a cool one in the third level, gave me 3x health and an invincible powerup. Such an interesting concept for devs wanting you to actually use physic glitches in the game.

I wish modern FPS games would give the players more credit, and allow for weapon/physic abusing for getting to cool areas.

Occasional reminder that From Doom With Love is a /vr/-autist-made fork of DSDA-Doom that displays the map name in the extended hud, as well as other niche options.

>>9215602

>>9215553
Does NRFTL count after it got ported elsewhere?

>>9215597
>I actually just found a cool one in the third level, gave me 3x health and an invincible powerup.
That's the one I was talking about you absolute madlad
Good luck getting out of that room now
Keep us posted if you find the secret terminal after that
>I wish modern FPS games would give the players more credit, and allow for weapon/physic abusing for getting to cool areas.
This is by far the thing I would want most in a Marathon remake but I know it will never happen

>>9215604
One google search later
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/thread/123998

>>9215602
Has it gotten any updates in a while?

>>9215609
Good looking out

>>9215610
No, but, it being a fork of DSDA, it will lose ENDDOOM support once it's removed from DSDA, so I'm not updating anyway

>>9215614
You could always just skip the commit that removes ENDOOM, or cherry pick the commits that add meaningful features later on.

i missed a perfect opportunity to post an enddoom edit

>>9215607
I found a terminal and then afterwards it teleported me out to the main area, is there something else I missed? With the invincibility I just gernade boosted to the teleport spot, super easy using the gernade+firing flying method

>>9215643
Did you seriously just yolo your way up to the Gheritt White terminal on your first playthrough

>>9215660
Missing the magnificent Pain Elemental face on the first panel.

What are the best rougelike/rougelite wads for playing with a big Oblige-generated mapset, just lots of grinding and carnage and gradual progression? I gave RL Arsenal a shot yesterday but it seems like it only affects weapons, didn't notice any other major changes.

Any city mapsets? NOT A SINGLE BIG MAP,i mean several levels depicting the different sectors of the city,big maps tend to kill my fps

How do i add music tracks to red nukem for duke 64? I have duke 3d world tour. What files should i copy over??.

>>9215683
There's a monster pack for DRLA you may want to try out.
Wrath of Chronos is also doom-compatible with a patch.

>>9214139
>why the FUCK does Vegas 14 always blur shit when I render it god damnit.
Is it the GZDoom of video editors?

>>9215693
>There's a monster pack for DRLA you may want to try out.
Somehow I had missed that, thanks, will give it a shot
>Wrath of Chronos is also doom-compatible with a patch.
Will check this out after

>>9215618
When are you going to finally get around to making shrekkr?

>>9215690
maybe this helps, put the .zip file in a folder called 'autoload' inside of your rednukem directory and enable autoload in the startup prompt
http://sc55.duke4.net/games.php

>>9215709
God I hate that tiny HUD.

>>9215709
https://files.catbox.moe/03zt5s.mp4
It's more like the ZSNES of video editors.

>>9215657
Yeah, the guy having a schizo episode about rats and bullies. It took me two tries, I am not sure was very easy, the amount of floatiness and height you get using the gernades and shooting with the assault rifle seems insane, I can't even imagine what the multiplayer must be like with people skating and flying, like a older version of tribes.

I also noticed a lot of stuff hidden behind walls early on so I just have been hitting space on every wall because there doesn't seem to be indications where the actual hidden walls are.

>>9215683
I believe there are several videos that cover this "RANDOMIZE DOOM FOREVER INFINITE REPLAYABILITY!" thing,personally i just use corruption cards or legendoomlite+Some monster/weapon pack depending on my mood

>>9215723
Ahh thanks dude

>>9215727
Marathon multiplayer is kinda insane. You can do all sorts of sick tricks with the floaty physics, including spinning in place in midair to avoid projectiles because your view's affects your momentum and directionality.

>>9215718
>one thought consumes my every waking moment: SHITTR MUST NOT BE. MY THUNDER MUST REMAIN UNSTOLEN.

>>9215683
DRLA has a monsters mod you probably didn't load, throw corruption cards in if you like, also LegenDoom Lite.

>>9215683
champions is also 'fun'

Amusing myself by making gif out of all maps in the wad I've been making since I started mapping.

>Tallyho!

>>9215780

Is Blood's Post Mortem expansion generally considered good? Because I really enjoy it. I could see someone saying "but too many hitscanners" and yeah, fair point, but also, it's really fun to blow them up.

>>9215806
You mean cryptic passage?? Yeah i liked it my self too

>>9215724
This is how it looks with the settings I use but honestly I don't remember how to change the HUD size. I played around with those settings exactly once and didn't really touch them again. What matters to me is that the texture filtering is turned the hell off.

>>9215814
Imagine being THIS bootyblasted by texture filtering.

>>9215806
I liked both, but I can't remember which I found inferior to the base game. In one I seem to remember completely running out of ammo and having to pitchfork a gargoyle to death in a courtyard.

>>9215816
Wanting it turned off and thinking it's ugly doesn't make me "bootyblasted" by it but okay. For the sake of argument, let's say I am bootyblasted. It would be justified, because smudging all the textures is disgusting.

Oh shit. Sorry. >>9215709 and >>9215814 are actually the same HUD setting. The HUD is bigger in the second image because I switched to fullscreen, and the setting is "adapt to screen size". lol. Increasing the resolution from 720p to 1080p made the HUD scaling go from 1x to 2x.
In other news, I found the HUD scaling option. I think I'll make it bigger.

>>9215814
I think it's under HUD scaling. It's real easy to change.
>>9215816
texture filtering is ass fuck off

You would not believe what a pain in the ass it was to make this list not look awful in a menu, lmao
>Just manually right-pad spaces into every string
>Or you could write a ZScript object that also does this for you and is probably finicky as fuck

>>9215850
You're already going above and beyond even attempting to put credits in-game. Most people (myself included) just dump them into a CREDITS lump in the .wad or .pk3

>>9215614
>>9215617
https://github.com/atsb/dsda-endoom

unfortunately Gibbon has not provided new builds lately

>>9215854
Oh I have that too, it's in the language lump and prints into the console every time, I just went back and revised it to be clear about who did what and went "Well you know, maybe I should make this more visible just in case someone unzips and never checks this lump." Plus, it lets me make a daily dose joke, so in the end it's worth it.

>>9215821
>>9215845
It's not about texture filtering existing, it's about making such a fuzz.
You are probably the kind of people who don't go into the options first in any game.

Okay so it seems I'm a fucking retard, but I just downloaded the Marathon Trilogy from the Aleph One page and when I unpacked, it gave me some errors, most of them in some "720p" folder.
What the fuck is going on there? I don't think the download is corrupted.

>>9215816
That's far from being "bootyblasted". I find the bigger GZD culprit to be how uneasy it is to pistol start on death with autosaves on.
>map *
Not at all ideal since that resets total wad progress.

>>9212163
I rarely use the chainsaw but I can't imagine going out of my way to avoid picking it up. Some people are crazy.

>>9215864
I think you downloaded some outdated stuff. None of the games come with that folder anymore.
https://github.com/Aleph-One-Marathon/alephone/releases/tag/release-20220115
Did you download it from here?

Are the other games good? Like the build games and other FPS games like marathon mentioned in the pastebin? I have only ever played doom and doom wads, and am tempted to branch out, but I cant imagine them being as good.

>>9212163
>>9215881
I've had people tell me before that it's utterly useless, and when pressed for their reasoning why it's pretty much because their favorite Youtuber doesn't pick it up.

>>9215894
I just clicked on the "Download for WIndows" button. Filename is Marathon/2/Infinity-20220115.zip, and each of them has a "Plugin" folder thats containing those files, it seems.

>>9215907
Odd. Delete the plugins folder.

>>9215908
Yeah, just dl'd the release explicitly from github, it has that folder. But alright then, thanks for the help.

>>9215895
I love as much Quake as Doom. You might want to start with it's main campaign and then all 4 expansions. Main releases are great, but even more awesome map packs get released every year.

Tip: Don't use shotguns as much as in Doom. Even super shotgun should be used when conserving ammo (or when having quad damage). Go crazy with rockets.

>>9215916
I will try quake, though it seems like a weird prototype doom 3d for a new engine. Maybe it will be good, since I see people sometimes play it here, especially recently in the last year, it seems the conversations have shifted more toward quake than doom.

>>9215930
Doom was a weird prototype Wolf3D in a new engine.

>>9215550

>Enemies are slow enough relative to the player that you can freely disengage from them and dodge, so in order to make combat encounters interesting, the map has to limit your movement, or use bullshit hitscanners/homing projectiles to make you slow your pace.

Fun fact: Doesn’t work when the projectiles are aim assisted. Still a trash enemy but it’s at least an easy solution.

they can still deal hefty damage to you before you shrink them if there's enough
they're basically the only thing in the game that does damage

I finished Doom 2 in Spain Only (except for the secret levels which I'll do later)

What a great wad. I think it might be my favorite Doom campaign of all time. No bad levels at all, just really fun the whole way through, great level design and a lot of really fun encounters.
