VIOLENT RUMBLE 2 ANCHOR POST

VR Mega folder: https://mega.nz/folder/LVlWVK5D#H5iqeD61bSItMIVeGqymTQ

Stick to the loose files in the 'vr' folder for working on the project. You don't need the QuakeC source files unless you want to contribute code. When there is an update, sort files by date modified so that you aren't constantly re-downloading everything.

Currently re-working how Quake handles weapon selection so that I can add new ones (Q3 gauntlet, shotgun flame shells, etc.) without a million if-else statements. More regular updates once that is done.

>>9268024
Connect with Doomseeker, it should have been bundled with your Zandronum installation, it'll simplify most of the process for you.

>>9267928
byoc failing to download, someone got a link?

>>9268031
>>9267928
I can't join period. I try through doomseeker and it brings up the console and music starts playing but then gives up. I have the wads downloaded through doomseeker and through the PL2.wad that anon posted and I can not connect. Never had this issue before.

>>9268031
I don't understand how to, it's not letting me put in ip anywhere. I'm on my knees

>>9268052
Search by name, the server's called "Sunday Night Shitshow," when you try to connect it should prompt you for a password.

>>9268013
>thing

>>9267928
still can't join. I click on the server, zandronum opens up and all I see is the console, the level music plays and it tells me what keys are collected and that's it. I can't play, it just tells me some message about packets and disconnects.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT!?

>>9268124
that happens to me sometimes, seems to be caused by complex mods like fartyguns, srb2kart and probably this byoc (still downloading). figure it's some ISP issue w/verizon

>>9267903
Probably Zandronum since it's ZDoom stuff with decent multiplayer.

>>9268139
I was able to connect earlier, too. There has to be some solution.

>>9268138
IDK if I'd trust Kegan as my ally.

>>9268147
Change IPs/tunnel with a VPN or phone connection. There's something inherently wrong with the way modern ISPs handle IPv4 to IPv6 that makes it so you're actually behind two NATs, fucking up some games that don't account for this

>>9268149
Kegan's internet connection is weak, alike himself.

>>9268159
It's probably whatever that anon above is talking about because my internet is genuinely like 100 times better than what it used to be. I'm not even exaggerating.

>>9268159

He's short and maybe a little slow, but not flabby.

>There's something inherently wrong with the way modern ISPs handle IPv4 to IPv6 that makes it so you're actually behind two NATs, fucking up some games that don't account for this
The absolute fucking bane of my worklife is the godawful way IPv6 was implemented in most cases.

>>9268164
Kegan's not flabby, he's noodly.

>>9268171
everything including textures etc is doom 2 vanilla. i figured it would be a good way to try mapping but because i was mapping for vanilla doom it was very painful with all the texture alignment. also the map layout is wonky because i didnt really plan anything, whatever im getting a migraine again.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates when someone makes "X thing in DOOM" and copy and pastes over shitty quirks without the option to fix them in the name of "authenticity"? Bonus points if shit isn't even accurate in the first place. It feels like mods that mimic Build games are always the worst offenders.

>>9268171
Got to the Cyberdemon encounter before biting the dust. The main point of feedback that comes to mind is that you have all of these largish areas, but such sparse monster placement.

>>9268184
Return of the Triad is guilty of this, it doesn't even attempt to handle the launcher pickups the way RoTT handles them.

Adequate source ports for Auger Zenith? There are some special effects that demand advanced ports apparently?

>>9267903

>>9268231
Crispy and DSDA can handle Auger;Zenith perfectly. It's just limit-removing, not extended features. GZD if you want to load with mods.
You're firmly in the middle of your graph, if not the lower left.

Be happy that at least you're not sarais

>>9268231
There's no bad sourceport for it because it looks cool in software rendering with the edited palette, and it has custom dynamic lights if you play it in a Zdoom port with hardware rendering, just use whatever

>>9267928
Do you guys actually look at the FNF & SNS pictures? I've considered numerous times to stop making them entirely and start using a standardized image every time.

>>9268369
I click every picture in the thread

>>9268369

i appreciate all the oc around here

Shit did that manage to crash it? I spawned a million Quote swords

>>9268369
Yes

>>9268383
Nah, I killed it myself.
Fun times.

>>9267928
BYOC wasn't crashing or lagging outside big maps last time.

>>9268371
same

>>9268362
>>9268365
those are much better than what i managed to take

>>9268171
decent for a first map. There's a lot of empty areas at the start and a lot of square corridors so it's not super exciting, and not much when backtracking. The yellow key gate was a bit weird, since it's delayed I thought it was on a line trigger or something because it'd lower after I moved away.
The blood room was good, even though I expected a trap it still made me jump, definitely the best fight of the map. The invul secret could be reworked a bit though, I could see the secret and see that I could jump down, but I couldn't see what was in it, so I wasted it on my first playthrough. The final cyber fight was pretty good, though maybe it could use some extra cells, even point blank with an invuln I had only 40 cells left.
Also on my first playthrough I couldn't 100% it because a monster failed to teleport in, picrel.
Overall pretty good, but you're using too much space for not enough monsters.

>>9268382
Nice. I'll keep making them then, though don't expect them to always be high effort.

For those of you who missed it, we might not be playing SRB2Kart next SNS as we planned, since the manager of that event is MIA and I have no idea how to work the thing.

>>9268171
Don't be too ashamed, everyone starts at the bottom. My first maps were no doubt much worse.

>>9268415
>>9268171
same, my first maps were 100% worse

>>9268327
Quote's seen some shit.

>>9268434

>>9268369
I do.

>>9268171
yo this was really good, the visual detailing was nice with the liquids and the different sections felt pretty distinct and varied. trying to fine tune textures and figuring out how to do stuff is good for your first wad so ya have an idea of what it takes. main things i would suggest are increasing height variation in combat for the player and not just enemies on ledges and such. it's fun to run around and find cover and these were mostly square rooms, could be condensed down a bit too without losing anything. great stuff tho

>>9268415
>>9268421
Mine were great.

>>9267928
>>9268412
If there's SRB2Kart next week, you should post these with the IP and/or put them in a pastebin, so everyone can get up to speed.

- https://mb.srb2.org/addons/some-srb2kart-tips.2456/
Scroll down and read the part about sliptiding (the beginner's guide doesn't mention this).
- Open the (vanilla) game once with SRB2Kart (OpenGL).bat to switch renderers. Afterwards you can open it with the normal exe.
- In moe mansion, set "future sight" in the video options to "full" to remove 1 frame of delay when fps is higher than 35.
- If playing on the keyboard or a d-pad, consider setting analog easing to "fast" or "off" in controls options (on moe mansion).
- If playing on a controller, make sure to bind brake and accel in a way that makes it easy to press both at the same time.
- You can reposition the camera behind your character with "cam_height x" and "cam_dist x" in the console. Use them without a value and the game will tell the current and defaults.
- You can unflip the camera (in upside-down sections) with "flipcam 1" in the console. You only have to do this once.
- Good stats for beginners are near the center or left half of the chart. You should test many different combinations to find those you prefer.
- It is recommended to set the game to always save replays (in data options). You can watch better players later and learn from how they play.
- You can charge and use drift sparks IN THE AIR after jumping off a red or yellow floor bumper (or equivalent). You should almost always hold drift before/after jumping off one. This can't be done from "teeth" bumpers or from just falling.

When was the last time you saw punchman?

>>9268508
Last message from him was on 8/28, last SRB2Kart session. I did see him online on pisscord just a couple of days ago, but he was on a phone and didn't say anything. He must be on vacation or something with limited internet access. Anyway, I'll get this info added to the post next time, no problem whatsoever.

>>9268517
It's almost time for you to finally have a look at the game yourself.

>>9268528
i dun wanneh
Maybe I will if he doesn't come back but I ain't playing, you can't make me.

>>9268534
At worst case, you could just keep the server as it was last time, if you know how to start it, and hope for the best.
And if you don't want to play, you could join just to spectate. At least you'd get to see what it's like. And make fun of Kegan or Babby when they end last.

>Come here, ruffian!

>>9268539
I'll at least try and learn how to set up a serve, hopefully with your mods and stuff.
If it's any consolation, I did start playing stock SRB2 and I'm having a fun time as Knuckles.

>>9268543
As long as you load bonuschars.kart (included with the SRB2Kart download) when you host I'll be content.
Hit feed, name tags, and drift gauges are nice, but I've karted without them plenty before.

How’s the Nightdive Quake port compared to Quakespasm?

>>9268543
Good. If you manage to launch it with just the basic mods from last month it should be enough (or even just bonuschars like anon said). Some things need testing, so it's ok if you don't add anything else, but if you do it's a bonus.

You can have a look at these too for admin stuff:
https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Console/Commands
https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/User:ThatAwesomeGuy173/SRB2Kart/Variables

>>9268557
its a good port, but its certainly more useful for console frens, the new mission pack is cool though. (machine games certainly played arcane dimensions before making it though)

>>9268557
i can play quake with motion controls on my switch its pretty gud

>>9268557
It has some fancy shadow effects and easy-to-use multiplayer, otherwise very faithful. Compatibility with third-party mods is so-so (most stuff works, mostly), but if you're not going to play multiplayer or play in a console I don't really see the point in using it.
>>9268568
You can play the mission pack in Quakespasm and friends. You can borrow it here: https://files.catbox.moe/txyif4.7z

>>9268651
i already played the mission pack in VK quake (vkquake is so fucking smooth on linux, its like magic), no need to help, but thanks anyways

>>9264778
As much as how fucked the balanced in Brutal Doom is, it's hard to say that the SSG is weaker than the SG when it can straight up pop Cacos and Revs in one shot compared to vanilla doom as well as having the ability to shoot the barrels individually like Blood's sawed off shotguns. The SG does have a tighter spread as well as faster shooting when ADS, but the faster shooting the SG provides becomes obsolete when the Auto Shotgun gets involved.

Brutal Doom is still a pile of shit.

Babel (Weapons Only) https://files.catbox.moe/qznco4.pk3
Hacked together in about 45 minutes while I watched anime. I actually gave a good try to making a minimod that had universal Babel-style tracers for all hitscans and could jank particle trails onto appropriate projectiles, but specifically the hitscan/puff part probably isn't possible while maintaining universal compatibility. So, instead, since a minimum of one person wanted to play Doom with these weapons but not the monsters, here they are.
Note:
>This may crash, I have tested it a bit but I dunno if it's stable
>Balance is probably fucked by this
>If someone does janky shit with +ISMONSTER on stuff the BFG may do weird things
I'm still actually finding and fixing very minor edge-case bugs in the main mod (for example, revenants can infinitely chain-target a dead enemy under certain conditions and pass around a bad target in the current version), but I'll update it soon. I also redid parts of the monsters only mod to make updating it less of a nightmare.

>>9268689
>If someone does janky shit with +ISMONSTER
I know I saw revenant projectiles face the wrong direction in Legion of Bones when I used warm reception to disable hot starts, and editing the decorate to remove +ISMONSTER from those projectiles fixed it. Also, Eday's toilets.

for a basic vanilla playthrough it's fine, and has qol stuff like the quickswitch binds.
framerate past 60fps gets fucky and unplayable, still don't know if it's that way for everyone or not.
on release it had issues with stuttering even on high-end machines, apparently due to constantly compiling shaders.
some mods (like Quoth) don't work, and in general it's less flexible/moddable.

I'll always prefer the vanilla experience of these old shooters, but I must say this is impressive. I didn't play Ion Fury, does it have stuff like this going on?

is there a mod out there that both
a. adds doom 2 monsters and the super shotgun to doom 1 .wads
and b. is cross-compatible with other mods, such that using both mods will have whatever replaces super shotguns and doom 2 monsters show up in doom 1

>>9269070
That footage is from the unreleased expansion, but the base game does have some build engine level design porn, like a fully functional piano, and an aircraft boss made almost entirely of sectors that flies around the map and airdrops bombs and enemies.

>>9267721
I don't think spawning anything after the last switch would meaningfully contribute to the gameplay.

>>9269031
But that's just Half-Life 2?

>>9268171
I think it's good for a first map and I'd encourage you to keep going, but there are some questionable design choices and probable mistakes. I'd agree with the other comments saying it feels too spacious. This is true when fighting stuff but also between encounters there seems to be a lot of corridors where nothing really happens. I think a lot of people have trouble with scale initially but come to understand it experience.
This map has several rad-suits but none of the floors actually do damage. The automap secret was quite difficult to find despite being mostly useless. The box of ammo secret near the start is also mostly useless since you don't have a chaingun at that point and shells are plentiful. The mechanism for the yellow key bars is really weird. I opened it in the editor because I was curious what was happening, it doesn't really matter so long as it works but the delay might confuse people. The convention for limit-removing is typically just a switch behind a locked door. The fight at the end seems kind of harsh compared to the difficulty of the rest of the map. Some more health and/or room to move around might be nice. If you don't already know, you don't need sound propagation tunnels for teleporters you can just use a joined, discontinuous sector. It's J in UDB to join two sectors. It's worth noting you can also automatically align textures in most editors. I personally find texture alignment to be much easier by constraining geometry to a high grid size, especially for man-made structures. Usually varying between 16 or 32 units minimum. Cont...

>>9269125
Also, some people might disagree but having played many doom maps, I think this level-design-wise this map is really cliched to its detriment. Being ambushed by a bunch of pinkies as soon as you pick up a berserk is boring at this point. I'd rather punch out 20 imps than 10 pinkies since at least then there's some risk involved. Hiding behind a thin pillar against a single archvile is also really common and this map does that twice. In the future don't be afraid of being more experimental.
Aesthetically speaking the geometry is kinda simple, texture alignment is poor, and lighting is usually too bright and flat despite having few visible light sources. Not that it's strictly necessary, but I noticed there's no sky in the whole map. Sky/Skylights are a great way to give lighting variety to maps.

>>9269127
Forgot to mention: A few places you used impassible lines to prevent the player from falling into inescapable pits, but this is really annoying since there's no visual indication you can't pass over them. This is especially true in the dark room since you might try to escape the first archvile by jumping in the pit only to be blocked by invisible walls. Use middle textures to indicate the presence of impassible lines or just put a teleporter or staircase in the pit somewhere. Also, I appreciate how you gave the player the option to backtrack at the end of the map.

>>9269259
the glowing bits are full-bright pixels and can glow just the same on mdls. the rest of the box is never dark because it's bsp. it's animated because the texture it uses is animated. mdls can have animated frame groups, but it's limited to 3 or 4 frames I think. you can animate the mdl frames through qc.

>>9269252
Fun if you know the maps (for example by watching decino's playthrough beforehand). Mostly frustrating if you don't.
You can't really take your time to figure out how the map works and where the secrets are.

Does anyone else get
>texturecache uninited
when trying to play BloodGDX? Win10, RTX 3070
I googled it, and it seems like the source port is somehow in conflict with drivers for DS4windows, software that allows you to use PS controllers with xinput. I tried creating a separate windows user account that doesn't have DS4windows, but the game still gives me "texture uninited" on launch.
Any other good sourceports?

Not Blood. It’s a fork of Nblood that has the GDX difficulty customization as well as other gameplay options.

>>9269031
going all out on GZdoom is too taxing on alot of systems and it tends to not produce better maps (compare good boom and limit removing maps to GZ ones and GZ has no answer to stuff like struggle and valiant)

Zandronum. Though I will play with chocolate doom is it's vanilla.

>>9267903
prboom+, does exactly what I want which is vanilla as possible while with decent fps and 1440p
If i'm really in the mood for some pure unmodded times I play Crispy.

what video settings would guys recommend for gzdoom? I've already played through the id wads with crispy doom, but I don't know if most mods are designed with software or opengl rendering in mind for example.

Did they show Ion Fury : Aftershock at Realms Deep 22 or where is this from? Only watched day 1 of the show.

Got mentioned last thread so I went and found out for myself. Doom 64's SSG fires faster than the classic SSG. I counted through WebmforRetards which I think measures in 1/60th of a second, these were the refire times:
>vanilla super shotgun - 86
>64 super shotgun - 80
So the original super shotty takes 1.26 before firing again, the one for 64 takes 1.2. That adds up when you keep getting pitted against mancubi, hell knights, and barons.
I also found out the shotguns do not fire "twice as fast" as the supers, and that the 64 shotgun may fire slightly slower:
>reg shotgun - 62
>64 shotgun - 63
Just barely over a second to pump the things. I did zero testing with damage numbers.
>>9269790
I think those are just Twitterposts.

>>9269801
Okay, I just checked Voidpoint's twitter, looks like they posted those yesterday. Thanks!
At least it means Aftershock development is chugging along.

Do I need to jump through a lot of hoops to get FEAR to play nicely with a 4k monitor?

>>9269818
It should take a few minutes and maybe downloading something or other, but it's been a while since I installed it on here so I don't recall the specifics. When I installed it from GOG as is, it would run into an issue with the framerate would tank the longer you kept playing.

>>9269804
They've been posting stuff every day for the better part of a week.

>>9267884
why is firblu texture seen by many here and on Doomer boards as well as some on Zandy forums as "chaotic evil"??

>>9269885
Look at it. What else could it be?

>>9267930
Hey Chop, can I borrow your exploding spores?

>>9269885
I've always thought it was a youtube meme, seeing as it demolishes video quality kind of like snow does.
I think most people try to play it up as some sort of an eyesore, but it's really not that ugly, I wouldn't even call it the ugliest texture in Doom. It's very visually stimulating, but it's used sparingly so it's not like it's going to give you a headache from looking at it for too long.

New commit for dsda-doom, slow pace but update is coming
https://github.com/kraflab/dsda-doom/blob/master/patch_notes/v0.25.md
>Added `boom_translucent_sprites` toggle option

>>9269956
All my hype for this port (it was almost perfect imo) died after endoom trainwreck. Not because of endoom itself, even though it's a good feature, but because I have no faith in ports made by spregs.

>>9269971
From the conversation around it I got the impression that it was somehow difficult to maintain, but I can't imagine how it could be.

>>9269979
how the fuck is it hard to maintain dude just walk away from the code like close the endoom function

>>9269986

>>9267903
Chocolate Doom when im feeling old school. GZDoom when im modding the shit out of it, Zandronum when I want to get destroyed by better deathmatchers than me, PrBoom-Plus when I want raytracing+CRT filter pic related, it makes the lighting so cozy in rooms with lights and computers giving off a glow.

Does anybody have any tips for beating Doom 2 on UV? I know it's never been done but fuck it, I've been playing this game for over 30 years, it's time to go for it

>>9269956
Is there any point in updating? I have not updated so that I can continue to enjoy endoom.

Is decompiling BSP maps possible?

>>9270102
Yes, though the output can be messy. Entities and interior brushes will usually be fine, but any brushes that seal the map are likely to be shaped in weird ways that are hard to work with.

I've used this with varying results: https://valvedev.info/tools/winbspc/

>>9270102
depends on the game, it's easier for Q3 because it stores all the brushes.
for Q1, the bsp is basically just what you see in-game if you noclip: the walls have no backsides. so the best you can do is import it into Noesis or Blender and then export it back out as a map.

>>9269818
There's some resolution fix and another for text but apart from that it should be fine.

>>9269818
I had to use a DirectInput patch for frame drops on Condemned that I read works for FEAR as well, but I haven't tried that myself

Nifty mapset with a cozy, old school feeling. A little on the easy side though.

>>9270178
The only things I disliked about it were
>way too many "Find 3 keys in any order" maps, some of the later ones with too much "where the fuck do I go" factor for my liking
>IoS map was visually impressive, played like shit, especially getting telefragged by cacodemons wandering into the teleporter in the literal center of the stage
Overall it's pretty good though.

>>9269864
Thanks! I probably should make a twitter because twitter's kinda gay and doesn't allow you to properly view profiles without an account without immediately pestering you to make one.

>and an aircraft boss made almost entirely of sectors

it's actually made entirely out of sprites. Like imagine the Recon cars in Duke3D, but instead of having 1 sprite it's like 50

>>9270269
Thanks!

>>9268781
I like this artwork. From the thumbnail I thought someone posted a screen of Duke Nukem 2001 leak.

>>9270007
wow i like the way this looks, is it stock prboom+ or an expansion? i haven't used pr in a while.
if it's the later do you have a link?

>>9268171
Read all the replies, I agree with all esp the empty spaces which is due to me being afraid to put too many enemies.
>>9269125 >>9268405
the yellow bars was an autismo moment, i realised the lack of keycarded floor actions on vanilla doom after i built the bars, but I wanted to keep them so I tried to make it work. it was a fun experiment at least
>>9269125
i forgot about both the chaingun for non-UV difficulties and also the nukage floors, oops. the extra rad suits are for coop only which would make sense had the floors been damaging...
idk how i can make the texture aligning better desu, it was already painful enough as is.
>>9268405
i actually placed extra cells when i put the 2nd cyberdemon there but i forgot to save the file, my bad.
thats unfortunate the rev got stuck. i put two of them in a long corridor to delay their teleportation, but I shouldve just made their teleporter-block taller so it takes more time to lower.

I'll fix the stuff you all pointed out. Thanks for playing & replying.

>>9270317
You want Doom Raytraced (google it, lot of articles and videos with links to it) turn on CRT interlacing and set the render resolution to lowest (it will say crt next to it) It runs on PrBoom-Plus. attached is another screenshot

>wallpaper grade kino mood

>>9270362
thanks, i'd heard of it but never knew it was for this port

>>9269818
The only problem I ever had running it on a 4K TV was needing a microscope to read the HUD.

>>9270370
Stock options it looks way too glossy and reflective for me but when you turn on those two CRT graphics options it turns it into the comfiest lighting out there.

>>9270362
That's a lot of effort to make it look like absolute shit.

>>9270479
ignoring the raytracing, I think the issue is that it's using a crt *tv* filter, when most people played on a crt *monitor* which looked way better than this. So you don't really get an accurate "nostalgic" look, you just get a shit look

>>9270269

>>9270362
How about Duke3D or Blood Raytraced?

I'd like to play Seireki 1999 : Pharaoh no Fukkatsu on PC. Is that possible with PCExhumed and if so where can I get the game data for it as it isn't in the mega links? Specifically using the Japanese title as I'd like to play the version that Japan got if it's possible.

>>9269927
Sure. They're straight up just recolored from Heretic ones.

>>9268781
LMAO
>>9269312
Nicely done.
>>9269790
>>9269801
Those clips from Twitter were actually intended for a new trailer. Voidpoint intended to make some announcements, but a few things just weren't ready for Realms Deep. They shared all this Aftershock stuff just so there's some kind of update out there.

>>9270567
as far as I know the game was only released on PSX and Saturn in Japan; I don't think there is a Japanese PC version.

Saturn version has some slight differences with the PAL and US version but it's very negligeable outside of the voice acting

How's that 94 Protons of /vr/ beta coming along?

Finally got this ancient kino to work, it might take a while. . .

FEAR 1 is done and it was okay. Let's finally see how the expansion packs are, I only know the first one starts ugly and everyone else dies in the second.

>>9270668
Extraction Point is pretty great, it just feels like more FEAR
Perseus Mandate sucks ass though

>>9270620
Assembling.

>>9267884
If the Discord DNF 2001 restoration project is that screwed up, then there ought to be a working alternative restoration project by /v/ and /vr/. host it on 4shared.com reentry.org, icloud, anonfiles, i2p, Moddb, or the freenet

>>9270701
Feel free to start one, even though I know you won't.

>>9270679
No shit, I wanted to know how the assembly process was going.

>>9270701
>that screwed up
how screwed up? care to elaborate?

>>9270789
There was a lot of dicking around with Duke's lines in out-of-character ways, as well as wasting time by adding in things like 3d models of Shrek and some other things for the fuck of it. Also, at least some of the people in the project are foolish troons (or as I like to call them, Gender Identity Disorder fuckheads)

>>9270668
I hope you've cracked them because most of those still have Securom in them.

Even GoG got into shit for having it and trying to pretend it's anti-tamper software and not DRM.

>>9270802
>as well as wasting time by adding in things like 3d models of Shrek and some other things for the fuck of it
as I recall that was just a to test importing, it won't be in the game. I don't know what you're talking about with dicking around with dukes lines. Gianni says all sorts of stupid shit as duke.
As for the troons, I don't think you'd keep them out if you started an anonymous community project either.
They've said they don't plan on changing dukes character or doing anything out-of-place for the era, but that remains to be seen.
If you want your own restoration project you're going to need to spearhead it, tho.
Or wait until they finish their and fix whatever they fuck up. Probably an easier solution.

>>9270086
All is stated at changelog link you missed, the most important thing afair is fixed resizing with exclusive screen mode. Also, Xaser's been busy with new light mode: what it does is makes hardware rendering visually close to software one like in Unity port. Change progresses slowly, but main chunk of it is done from what I last saw, let's see if he delivers.

>>9270846
what's this from?

>>9270898
Xaser is a pretty cool guy, eh revolutionizes gameplay modding and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>9270858
Classic. I remember playing a bunch of custom characters in UT99. Good shit.

>>9270885
How has this affected the actual product? You seem overly obsessed with the character of the people working on duke than what they've actually shown so far.
What about what has been shown do you dislike?

>>9270829
>They've said they don't plan on changing dukes character or doing anything out-of-place for the era
that's a relief, though it depends on how well they can keep to it.
im not the type to care about the kind of the people working on stuff, i just want the final product to be good.

>>9269935
I like when it's used for "hell magic" highlights, like scrolling in a recession in a wall, or for a portal.

anyone else feel the last few DBPs have been lacking? aesthetics are only okay but the gameplay feels the same every time.

>>9270968
In the original DNF build Duke calls the aliens a bunch of "niggertrannies" and then gives them a 9mm dilation.

This was removed because discord trannies don't like niggers and don't want to be associated with them in any way. Quite racist if you ask me.

>>9271067
Haven't they been made by a smaller pool of mappers who tend to remain the same month to month? That would be the reason then - if you don't like those people's maps, you're not going to like DBPs until there's variation in mappers again (which seems unlikely as they lose mappers faster than they gain them).

>>9271067
Yeah, the last two were style over substance. There was another exodus from Doomer Boards lately so that could be the reason.

>>9271140
I won't be surprised if DBP turns into a 40oz solo thing at this rate.

>>9271067
They have multiple of these a year, and I noticed some of the names associated with them also make maps for /vr/ projects, of which there have already been a few this year. I'd imagine at some point people get a little burned out.

>Final Doomer's TNT set can't pain stun any of the robutts in Rampancy

>>9271142
>Another exodus from Doomer Boards.
Yeah, it appears so. A lot of users are now shown as "deleted", most likely a sign of said user willingly terminating his or her own account. Where are most of those who are in the latest Doomer Boards Exodus going off to?

>>9271002
>though it depends on how well they can keep to it.
Yeah, that's my main concern as well. The Manhattan Project tranny joke comes to mind, though it's the only one of it's like in any of the games.
>i just want the final product to be good.
Same. The sort of people working on it is another conversation entirely, until it's not. Unless they fuck up and make their biases known in the product it's a non-issue.

>Phantom Fury
Wut
I'd guess that's why they are so slow about their other games.

>>9271237
They started Doom Universe which has its own monthly (?) project. I think only one release so far.

If any Anon is looking to kill some time, a pack of the big DOS games of the general with configs\batch files for Dosbox-X could be handy. (Specifically Dosbox-X as it provides a few really nice features, mainly perfect pixel scaling) I haven't tested it myself yet but it can even virtualize Windows 98 and 3dfx.

>>9268542
I like Square but damn the levels are huge. Taking a nice long break from it before tackling Ep 2.

Any retro FPS games that still have active multiplayer online?

>>9271365

At least it's a reminder for me to grab the archive in case somebody tries to purge some of it.

>>9271343
>Taking a nice long break from it
I can't play anything else. I'm recording demos for each map, and I don't even know the secrets. I just find it infinitely replayable.

I'm doing them with freelook off / autoaim on, to replicate that Doom feel, and it's also WAY, WAY easier this way. Also, software mode makes the game look a lot more colorful, and software mode with freelook looks terrible to me (y-shearing). I'll eventually go back and do them with autoaim off in hardware mode, and eventually I'll learn the secrets, I just don't feel like opening the editor or playthrough VODs to learn them rn

>>9271269
>Doom Universe
more like dumb universe lmao

>>9271365
Doom

>>9271237
Personally, I wouldn't care. Bar Joe-Illya, almost all of their output could be attributed to single person - refined detailing with uninspired monster placement, suitable meal for streamers engaged in chatting and less than half-attentive of the game itself.
I'll choose junk maps of anyone daring to break conventions over drudging through visual setpiece courses, they didn't show enough skill to make their eye candies work.
>>9271409
Based dumb poster, see them lose interest and spread/disappear elsewhere soon.

Anyone hear running doom on crusty old thinkpads? What wad loader do you prefer? gzdoom isn't playing too nicely on one of my laptops and I think its because of the version of mesa it requires.

can someone try my first doom wad and provide some feedback: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vofdp91tnaw32y8/my_first_wad.wad?dl=0

it's doom 2 UDMF format, and I've only played it in the latest Gzdoom. I adjusted all of the skill levels

Actually, they announced a full sequel.

>>9271560
That actually looks far better than the first game, assuming they manage to make the actual gunplay good. I always felt Ion Fury had an issue of the graphical fidelity outpacing its engine, but this is more balanced.

>>9271365
>active
What's your definition of active? Consider that HL2 DM still somehow has servers with six people in them despite being close to stillborn.

>>9267887
Updated my Ad Mortem (Phase 2) map, Bold Catechumen:
https://mega.nz/folder/4kVmWICI#HStVR-wFsM1DZLLcBisGZQ
Incorporated some feedback into the final arena, but mostly just did visual and incidental layout changes.
Will probably need at least one more small update to address anything that comes-up from more playtesting (e.g. slime trails), but this should more-or-less reflect the final version.

>>9271517
very nice work, great encounters, geometry, non-linearity, gameplay quirks (like the spawners)

i think the fights ramped up a bit too quick from E1 type stuff to doom 2, there are too many frontloaded monster closets that could be spread out more, and i couldnt find my favorite gun, plasma boy but maybe im a secrets noob. also while i liked the repeated connection back to the same area there was only really one point where i didnt feel like i was following a distinct track but actually choosing which room to go to. decision making in progression like that goes a long way. uhh what else, when those two hell knights pop out and you go backward, my instinct was to go back to the main room but you actually have to go back to the hell knights, which i guess goes to show its more non linear than i thought but its pretty confusing

really good stuff though you obvs put a lot of time into it

>>9271891

Romero doesn't give a fuck, just let the old spic be. Who cares anyway

Placeholder sprites aside I've gotten a proper start on this little shit. It was a bit of an event to get this working right. Earlier what had happened when I first summoned him is he'd immediately fire at me.

>>9271842
>>9271897
thanks. looks interesting desu. added to my list.

>>9271907
Alternately, maybe he uses it because it looks nice.

>>9271912
>Earlier what had happened when I first summoned him is he'd immediately fire at me.
Sounds like an asshole cat thing to do.

>>9271923
That's exactly what I said when it happened.
Yholl thought it was hilarious, he's the one that was helping me sort all this shit out.

>>9271925
Making him target you if he doesn't spot anything else (like snarks from Half-life) would be pretty funny, provided his shots don't outright destroy you, and you can unsummon him at any time.

>>9271930
While that's kinda tempting, that'd also get really awful in co-op. Even moreso when you consider all of this will be added to BYOC, that Pizza Tower collaborative mod project, and those guys often play in big co-op servers. Which could potentially mean a bunch of players dropping Svens torment other players. That would suck.

>>9267884
Any cool jazz themed Doom wads?

I'm 7 inches long with 4.9 inch girth. Also got a curve going on. And you???????

Also rate yourself out of 10 as a doom player, 1 being an absolute retard, 10 being Zero Master. I'd say I'm 7.5.

>>9271809
It’s hard to gauge so far. I’m hoping they do more to mix up the fights than what the base game did but it’s been just as samey.

>>9267884

>>9271450
GZDoom works passably on my X220 running OpenSUSE, although Firefox freaks the fuck out if it's running when I launch it. I also have an X61t running Bunsenlabs and GZDoom technically works on that, but Crispy Doom is much better for actual gameplay. I just use command line for loading files, with some simple bash scripts for longer mod lists.

40oz is the most prolific mapper in DOOM's histort. Say something nice about him.

>>9271925
>Yholl thought it was hilarious
I can sense the Yhollsounds coming from that one.

>>9272079
His drugtrip map for AZ was good.

>>9272079

>>9272079
lunchlunch likes him and I like lunchlunch so by extension 40oz is an ok dude

>>9272079
I don't like him but his maps are ok.

>>9271912
Make him have a low chance to randomly target the caster.
Not by accident, but because he thinks its funny.
Bonus points if he has an unique laugh track after killing the player.

>>9272113
Getting fucked over randomly by RNG would suck, especially if you're playing multiplayer and someone else's turret kills you, the risk of other players doing that to grief others is too great.
Not to mention I don't want to go further into pointer fuckery, that's a mess.

>>9272079
literally who

>>9272163
I think 40oz is some kind of malt liquor, so maybe some kind of rapper?

I don't even know why I waste so much time in this, may be depression

>>9272185
If you enjoyed doing it, then it wasn't wasted time.

>>9272185
You probably recognize how fun Facility is, and that we enjoy watching your progress.
Are those HD grunts but not HD weapon viewmodels? If so that's intriguing and I appreciate your taste.

>>9272210
>You probably recognize how fun Facility is
it's fun in goldeneye where you clear every room railshooter style but I think it doesn't fit the quake playstyle, it doesn't flow, there are lots of dead end rooms
well I guess it's on me how to adapt this
>Are those HD grunts but not HD weapon viewmodels?
that axe is pretty hd, it actually bothers me now that you mention it, I like the vanilla bloody one

>>9272185
cool concept, but why are the shards killed mid-way? also, having some board behind instead of just the wall continuing would help

>>9272237
>but why are the shards killed mid-way?
I have no idea but I also noticed it, everything around it is illusionary so I don't think there is some collision doing whatever

I need a sample code to feed into decohack and get a static rotation-less decoration. I tried reading manual by my brain melted. I need some handholding.

oh, I was about to say it seems to be your hit angle of incidence, but I think the shards just go to the mirrored room and crashes with the func_train that runs to cover the hole, I'll have to force the rubble direction

>>9272185
>Q1 mirrors
Are those real reflections, or just some duplicate brush geometry shenaningans?

>>9272260
I used Ad Mortem's DecoHack as a starter reference for some basic stuff. Pic related is a static decoration without rotation sprites (if that's what you mean by "rotationless"—which would just mean it only has an A1 "direction" sprite an no others, if I'm remembering correctly.)

>>9272283
>A1
God fucking dammit, I mean A0.
I should remember this better, because I've replaced STIMA0 and CLIPA0 before.

>>9272279
it's a mirrored room and one of the room corners is a func_train because it overlaps with part of the level, so I had to turn the overlapping into two trains and trigger them to see the correct part depending on where you're standing

>>9272286
Oh neat, I didn't know Ad Mortem has source code stored in it. That will help a lot.

>>9272297
Everything does in Doom modding apart from when some asshole takes out the source for ACS.

I don't think decohack needs to be inside wad at any point, it's for an external utility. So that's a good thing it was there.

>>9272303
Yeah, I was really glad to see that DoomTools included the DECOHACK lump when you build the code.
Props to punch you in the face man for including the lump in Ad Mortem, whether out of intentional benevolence or benevolent neglect.

A lot of stuff does that, which is good even if it just ends up staying out of laziness.

I thought this was pretty cool. Turning doom into rogue-like.

>>9272368
I appreciate the collection he's made but he is so smug about playing doom forever and overplaying it. First of all he says every playthrough will be unique and unlike the other - but if its played with obsidian maps its unlikely those maps have any substance and you can go into a random generated dead end shown in games like No Man Sky(atleast before updates)
I feel that there are so many maps made for doom you can go playing it forever without any mods at all - Im not saying his setup is bad or unfun, just that asking "dont you wish you could play doom forever?" and then laying on you a complicated setup while a simple setup everyone else uses(pwads) exists and treating it as some secret solution seems a little faggy and pretentious
To anyone who tried this: Is DRLA and DRLA extended enough? I was thinking of ditching most of the mods he's shown and trying out just the DRLA and DRLA monsters

>>9272396
I'm just gonna' try Doom RPG. I think because of, y'know, the other Doom RPG, this one flew under my radar.
But personally, I agree with you. I want a new way to play some WADs I enjoy, but there's always new WADs to explore as well if I'm looking for an actually new experience.
Conversely, with how much you can control your gameplay experience by modding Doom, it's perfectly reasonable to also want to use the vast library of WADs available to add another dimension to your gameplay customization.
Tho at that point I wouldn't call it "inifinitely replayable Doom", per se. But that's advertising, baby.

>>9271659
thanks for playing it and the feedback. I agree with all your points, esp decision-making part. the room you get the shotgun is the only room where you have a choice of what room to go to, after the yellow key door it's pretty much linear. For my next map, I'll keep this in mind from the start.

There's no plasma gun on the map; I think I'll replace the mega health secret what that, you'll potentially have it for the outdoor fight if you can find it.

For the door that closes by the hell knight trap, I have a message on the screen that says a door has opened when you flip the switch in that next room. I'm sure it's easily missed; I'll think of a better way to direct the player back to that door once it's opened.

>>9267884
how does the DOOM64 version in the mega download here compare to the official pc port released?

>>9272515
Ignoring the bonus levels added in the official port, your experience with both porns should be similar.

>>9272515
doom64ex is inferior. both were made by the same guy.

>>9272515
doom64ex is superior. it allows you to look up and down and jump and crouch

>>9272521
>both porns
You've been gooning too much, anon

>>9272515
Bethesda’s port is demo accurate but ran worse for me. You can also pistol restart a level and keep your keys in the EX port. They’re both D64 in the end.

He mentored joe-ilya when no one else would, and now joe's maps are almost fun.

joe-ilya taught me how to make a self referencing sector one time.

I was really liking Alien Vendetta until Map27. The level design went from great to bullshit like

>run past a cyberdemon in a smallish room and hope his AI doesn't decide to randomly gib you at near point blank range or bodyblock you at the last moment
>Arch-Vile spam
>little room to dodge enemy projectiles
>not enough ammo for the stronger weapons

It's like the level designer gave up and filled the last few maps with bullshit only he and his autistic speedrunning buddies would like. AV should've ended at Map26, which was kino.

I've seen people mentioning "Not blood" but the two GitHub repos for it I can find on Google are both gone. Where is the project now?

Those maps are based, esp. Fire & Ice's spiritual daddy Dark Dome. The real bullshit is Misri Halek. An hour long slog of switch hunts, 90 degree corners and peekaboo ssg fights with barons and mancs.

What? I thought the whole point of the spawn is to have a new monster in the last episode. So they picked the worst monster and placed it in the worst episode, which of course would go last.

Sandy drew two really shitty straws it seems.
Despite that, I found it more enjoyable and memorable than episode 3.

>>9272852
Godspeed, anon

>>9272761
they don't explode on contact. have you even played quake? I'm really starting to suspect spawns are a retard filter.
simply don't shoot them point blank, just walk to a couple steps to the side, how hard can that be.

How would you rate your Classic Doom skills from 0 to 10?
I used to think I was like a 9/10 a few years ago, but having had difficulty with dozens of WADs considered only barely above average in difficulty ever since, I think a 6 or 6.5/10 is more accurate for me. I am much better at Deathmatch than SP, but I may have never faced actually stiff opposition

Obsidian keeps giving me maps that are impossible to complete. I thought people loved this map generator

>>9272747
A Copper-style timer for limiting their retarded bouncing when the player's out of sight long enough is more than welcome

>>9273391
yes, actually that's all I have left, I'm at E4M6 (waiting on the weekend to do a full day of attempts)

>>9273403
Did you use the BFG Grab or the Winterfeldt jump on Perfect Hatred?

>>9273410
I did the jump yeah, took like two attempts

>>9273309
Bros...

>>9273417
Now do it without the jump.

>>9273419
Why do you keep replying to yourself?

>>9273421
It'd probably not be tooo bad without, probably a couple hundred attempts that fails because of a specter or a caco in the way. You do get a plasma and the ammo for it. E4M1 without the keygrab though, fuck that. Took me 410 attempts, and you can be as skilled as you want, it's all dice throws.
I did get proper 100% secrets in d2 map 15 though, that was fun.

Wrong game, we're playing SRB2Kart
https://github.com/STJr/Kart-Public/releases/tag/v1.3

Is it just me or is BTSX kinda shit? Like every single encounter that isn't just hallway shooting is
>Enemies approach from all sides, all walls open up to reveal more enemies, get attacked from all angles at once
or
>Have fun being locked in this tiny space with a billion guys to bodyblock you oh whoops you died try again lol
or
>Oh you thought this secret might make the map more fun? Have enough enemies that you waste everything you just gained
Like visually it's impressive, but gameplay-wise it feels like someone trying to do a skillsaw and failing to understand why skillsaw's designs work while also not realizing that skillsaw's designs don't always work. Even weirder because it has so many authors.

>>9273459
I think you're even overrating it. the only boxed-in encounter I remember is the big imp one in the final level, everything else was simply a bland flatline. disagree that it's visually impressive past the novelty too.

>>9273459
>Is it just me or is BTSX kinda shit?
I had a great time and it's one of my favorites. The consensus here has been how easily the maps can blend together, and I'm inclined to agree with it despite some stand-out maps throughout.

>>9273464
I've just been playing it and every single fucking encounter is one of those 3. It's either you get boxed in by walls, the walls all open on every side and enemies flood out (sometimes cacodemons fly over shit), or the same thing but with even higher enemy densities and in a secret.

>>9267884
>>9273482

>>9273459
It's not weird that it has so many authors when you consider that they were working to a very strict design philosophy, i.e. told to map in a very specific way and not deviate from that.
I think the idea was to make it seem more like a commercial product - and it certainly does, it's definitely consistent and visually polished - but as a consequence it loses the experimentation and creativity associated with community projects, where there's always at least one guy who submits something completely outside the box (e.g. in 400 mins of /vr/, the space invaders map, the pac-man map, and the Romero shooting gallery map).
In my opinion, the BTSX team should have remembered that even the IWADs had experimental maps that bend or break the conventions - Fortress of Mystery, Dead Simple and The Chasm come to mind.

Let's be real, Romero being on the conveyor is nothing more than a visual effect. You don't have to aim or time your rockets, you just hold M1 and let the splash damage do the work for you. Better example would've been Chrisysphwhatever in MAP32.

Shotguns were involved in this

>>9273581
the bfg fires invisible rays because computers of the time couldn't handle firing that many actual projectiles, so it goes

>>9273581
I'm glad they did what they did because it makes the weapon interesting and lets you do unconventional stuff with it.

>>9273496
I liked the dash gates, and seeing all these features laid out, they make more sense than just reading them piecemeal from in-game tips.
However, I worry about how approachable these changes are for new and returning players. I suppose if they learn quick they can benefit from the comeback mechanics.
Tough call, but I vote to keep juicebox.

>>9273581
big fucking drugs that's what

>>9273421
https://files.catbox.moe/oz8lcc.zip
There you go, done! This is the demo of me doing it without any skip. Am I good at doom now?
The hard part is definitely the beginning, once you get the yellow key it becomes a lot more skill based. Need the herd the monsters until you get an opening for the cave area. In there the biggest problem is getting a baron in your face or a specter in your back. I panicked at the end because I somehow missed the door linedef and it threw me off, and then everything kept pushing me off, but I managed anyway!
If the part with the shotgunners and the yellow key baron wasn't so rng I'd even call it fun.

>>9273635
We'll run more tests tomorrow, hopefully with new maps and characters.

Doom-based Youtubers usually are highly smug, and usually not that quick on the uptake.

That Icarus one is incredibly thick, slow to even notice mods exist and it even took Kegan badgering him to look at Dakka, and when he did he decided it was an inferior Russian Overkill.

>>9273459
good maps
blends together though, making replays awful

>>9273803
Works fine on dsda doom

>>9272396
>>9272446
I've played occasionally using a combo of DRLA, DRLA Extended, LegenDoomLite, and Obsidian for random maps. I found it pretty fun. You don't have to go crazy like some of the Youtubers do. It gets really clunky with too much shit slapped in there. There's menus out the ass and keybinds galore if you use too many mods together. Also, the map generator makes average maps at best, but it suits the randomness of that combo of mods IMO.

>>9273496
I'd say to keep Juicebox. Falling out of the map is THE biggest problem for beginners and faster respawn helps with that, even without anything else.

Man trying to do recoil frames at this resolution is a pain in the ass at times.

>>9273926
It looks pretty good despite the limitation. Good job!

>>9272976
Hammer's easy at dummy level, took me longer to work out why compiling instantly fails than it did to make a box and put a light and player spawn in it. Hammer (or more specifically vbsp etc.) can't deal with spaces in the filepath, and every Steam install directory aside from Portal has a space in the game name, so they all need to be run from CLI instead of within Hammer.

>>9272747
Make them rest for a few seconds after half a dozen lunges, and then start molesting the player again.

Is there an enemy replacer for doom that has Valiant's mobs? I like having imps and barons of hell that actually do something instead of shoot their 2mph projectiles at nothing

>>9274009
Those are actually hell knights, barons are replaced with the deadabus. Still, pretty sure making the enemies "harder" is the whole focus of a number of mods.
Honestly, you could get 3/4ths of the way to what you want just by playing UV -fast. Most of what makes the valiant enemies harder is just increased projectile speed and missile chance.

>>9274031
well yes but then everything goes SSJ2
Valiant only changes SOME mobs, particularly those that just don't do anything - like having imp be an annoyance instead of just an ammo sink - but doesn't make revenant shoot his bullshit at 3x the rate. It feels like vanilla+ which I like.
Unfortunately the only thing I found was Valiant maps sans new enemies/weapon changes, which is the opposite of what I wanted.

I just discovered that the Nailgun-fanblade combo Ogre-mutants have an animation of gibbing themselves if you kill them during their melee attack phase
also have an Aliens refferrence, just because
