This anon released a christmas wad for us

>>9513568
I'll list "inconsistent UMAPINFO behavior across ports" as a known issue in the release thread. I'll get to writing the Doomworld post.

So I finished the new Quake Christmas Jam
Most of the levels were really good and fun, but a couple were bullshit and pretty much encouraged savescumming (300+ enemies, a giant map and batshit insane environmental traps every five steps or so are you kidding?)
All in all really good.

DSDA hud fucking sucks now. Guess I'm sticking with 0.24.3

What are Demos even useful for in GZDOOM & LZDOOM? This isn't the retro computer tech demo scene thread.

>>9513675
They felt like it was necessary to reinvent HUD defintions. So they ditched prboom's system for a new one. Instead of prboom's variety of HUDs, you get a single ugly HUD by default, and since they reinvented the wheel, good luck finding existing HUDs.
I'm already working on a HUD I like, but the default HUD components are fucking ugly. Could probably change that, too. But I hate working with graphics.

forgot to post this but yamagiQ2 received another vulkan update
https://github.com/yquake2/ref_vk/releases/tag/v1.0.3

I feel like Quake is underrated as a horror game.

https://www.whyishoudini.com/my-love-affair-with-the-horror-elements-of-quake

Which of the quake xmas jams is the best? I haven't played any yet.

is there any way to play Blood multiplayer without downloading malware?

>>9513824
>Carrots open anons powers

I'm still going through AD, and just finished Leptis Magna. I wasn't a fan of it - to me it felt overtuned and being a long map, it relies on savescumming. Also there was a severe lack of ammo (unless you get all the secrets, I suppose). By the time I got to this part I had literally 1 health and no ammo for anything. Impossible with the shockwaves those big things produce.

>>9513913
It's the main reason I like it so much more than Doom. The weapon and enemy rosters are both weaker overall, but the atmosphere is immensely more encompassing and effective. Makes for more memorable gameplay experiences in my opinion

What are the best console exclusive FPSs?

I am having trouble using gzdoom on linux, it won't recognize doom2.wad as an iwad and it only shows the freedoom shit, which I want to get rid of, any help on this?

>>9513736
The point of woof is the lower resolution.
It's just crispy-doom with more complevels.

>>9514157
640x400 is good, but at 27" or bigger displays it becomes way too blocky. It's still playable with old wads, but some new wads might look like absolute pile of pixel shit.
plus my eyes are getting old and can't stand playing at resolution this low for too long anymore, otherwise Woof is perfect

You all must be unaware, so let me clear up things a bit: my DSDA Doom folder totals in 437mb. How? Let's break it down.

1) Autoload folder with 70mb of add-ons, midipacks, fixes and whatelse.
2) Modest ReShade installation, 25mb.
3) Main executable, launcher and ffmpeg for demo-to-video transfer - all with runtime DLLs, 213mb
4) Couple of hq soundfonts, 19mb
5) Demos and and mostly useless save files, 18mb
6) Spicy baron video (Hidden)
7) Full IWAD collection, 97mb
8) Finely tuned config files, 112kb

Feel ecstatic yet? I sure do. Make a way! This is prime way of dooming® on windows.
Truth be told, it didn't improve my playing skills. Thank you for listening!

>>9514187
That's cute.

>final door apparently opens when all enemies are dead (except the 5 on the other side of the door)
>I killed everything and it won't open
>kill counter says there are 6 enemies left
>I can't find the missing enemy anywhere
so is it just unbeatable without cheating or should I restart the map and hope it doesn't glitch out again?

Hm. The bells you shoot in >>9514195 count as kills so maybe I missed a bell and that's supposed to open the door. But I was pretty damn sure I shot them all. I thought I just needed all the monsters dead because the door opened when I did the "kill monsters" cheat. Anyway I just verified the map is beatable by rushing through it again. I don't know what happened on the first attempt.

it's been a while but you can't really go wrong with any of them, ignoring a couple mappers who submit trash every year like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM_PtoHVdbM
this year's also felt like there were fewer good maps. pick an older one at random and have fun

>>9513218
Thanks kegan.

>>9514585
I'm a firm believer in spreading useful knowledge. I don't consider myself a good teacher, but hopefully that helps you.

>>9513841
There was a gameplay mod in development that featured mechanics from the Souls games and it was called Hexen Souls. The guy working on it used to post updates here. You can find the webms he posted if you look on the archive. But apparently the project is dead now.

>>9514592
Huh. So not unlike the Bloodborne Doom mod that's being worked on.

DBP55: Jolly Junkyard is out now!
https://doomer.boards.net/thread/3050/jolly-junkyard

>>9514248
Anon, why are you rubbing soap into your eyes?

Are books like this possible in the Doom engine? What about a Kings Field style game?

>>9514660
In the Doom engine? No.
In GZDoom - yes.

>>9514660
Maybe with SeHacked (Strife's version of DeHackEd), but even then I wouldn't promise anything.

>>9514546
I thought this years was pretty good. I only disliked a couple of maps due to the ammo scarcity, but otherwise nothing was really "bad".

>>9514546
I will never touch this thing.
Modern politics have no place in retro shooters and besides, the level itself is visual pollution. Look at it, the entire level looks like a shitpost and is utterly disgusting to look at. I'd be less harsh if he made the map look good.

So am I supposed to play Dark Forces with or without free aim?

>>9514221
>>9514228
Can't believe they used N-word in the map name!

>>9514125
>overtuned and being a long map, it relies on savescumming. Also there was a severe lack of ammo (unless you get all the secrets, I suppose)
this applies to Arcane dimensions pretty much as a whole

hi! I've made my first map where I kinda knew what I was doing. Would you guys mind giving me some feedback? this is MAP01, tested with dsda complevel 2. Thanks in advance!

>>9514836
yeah and I ofc forget the link. god damn. Also i tried to remove the unused flats and textures but somehow the thing is still 13 MB for some reason. pardon my noobish ways. I'll get there
https://files.catbox.moe/1h1cu6.wad

>>9514836
>>9514837
What map format?

>>9514838
vanilla

>>9514657
If you're talking about the CRT filter, I think that it just works and makes the experience feel like playing on an old television.

I wouldn't want this for every game of course, but DOOM's architecture is rough. Really cut from stone, even though it can have angled surfaces and the like unlike Wolfenstein 3d.

So the CRT filter kinda helps "smooth out" the experience while not making it look uhh weird like using the pixel smoothing in GZDoom. Sometimes I want my DOOM experience to look like the OG PC version, sometimes I like it to be like this. It looks "dreamy", it looks more "haunting" if that makes any sense. I bet DOOM 64 with a CRT filter will be even more atmospheric (shame about the shitty animations in it though)

>>9514798
>this applies to Arcane dimensions pretty much as a whole
I still have a few more to go, but this is the first time I really felt like it just didn't have enough ammo on the map. And playing on hard, it was much harder than the previous maps on hard.

>>9514836
Pretty cool map. Played it in CL2 on Woof. Some missing textures here and there, mostly on the monster closets, but one of the stairs in the beginning is also missing a texture.
Got lost trying to find the yellow key because I forgot about it, couldn't get back into the area afterward so I was softlocked and killed the demo there.
https://files.catbox.moe/de4kcb.7z

>>9514125
I wouldn't agree that AD relies on savescumming, most of the community holiday Jam maps are way worse for a lack of ammo and savescumming, but the AD maps that are part of the "official" AD release are usually balanced.

>>9514907
When a map is 30+ minutes long, what else are you going to do?

>>9514612
Same guy, IIRC.

>>9514872
thanks a lot lad!!!! means a lot to me. I'll fix the yellow key issue by putting a mandatory yellow door to exit that room. thanks again!!!

>>9514836
What I saw was cool, didn't get to the end due to what looks like a softlock in the "missing texture monster closet room". The door to the room with the key "hub" and the first ArchVile should stay open, I know I'm not good, but having to go press that switch multiple times was a bit obnoxious.
https://files.catbox.moe/t5q22c.7z

>>9514907
The first hub of levels play fine and great. I can’t attest to the others as once I completed Tears I was done and satisfied.
>>9514940
You would save like you would during a longer map from any other game, but that wouldn’t be “scumming”.

I honestly thought Alkaline was worse when it came to encouraging save scumming. The maps are just as long as AD only they love bullshit custom enemies everywhere in unfair positions. The maps look wonderful but they make you appreciate Doom wads more than ever, because mappers for that don't need to rely on cheap tactics to kill the player.

>>9515025
Didn't mean to highlight you I was going to respond about all doom ports having trash mouselook

>>9515025
I'm not even middle aged or a woman and I can not play any fps that isn't Doom anymore without vomitting.

>>9515002
>I know I'm not good, but having to go press that switch multiple times was a bit obnoxious.
yeah after watching the demo I have to agree. made that door just open once and that's it. also you got stuck because you skipped a linedef somehow. I'll try to fix this asap and post it again. really grateful for your input. thanks!!!

>>9515023
>I honestly thought Alkaline was worse when it came to encouraging save scumming. The maps are just as long as AD only they love bullshit custom enemies everywhere in unfair positions
I didn't find any enemy in Alkaline worse or more annoying than what was in AD. I also could've sworn that it and other similar Rubicon levelsets implemented autosaves, though that's not entirely related.

>>9515047
I can play overwatch fine with all its autistic movement,yet the instant i try doom with mouselook i get a migraine

>>9514779
That would be the "authentic" way but you can have fun however you want.

>>9514848
This isn't even close to what CRT looked like.
This is what a hipster who never seen a CRT thinks CRT looks like after being told by another hipster who also never seen a CRT.

>>9515074
Some maps do have autosaves, but not all.
I'd argue Alkaline has much nastier custom enemies than AD. Arcane Dimensions felt fair even on hard, while hard mode in Alkaline is just asking to get your shit pushed in every other encounter. I'll be playing the rest of this on normal, I think. It's too good to drop but the fights are weirdly difficult for me.

>>9515123
>I'd argue Alkaline has much nastier custom enemies than AD.
The nailgun superenforcer, if at that, and even then he doesn't show up often. Those railgunning centaurs have a huge windup, the "shield" energy guards are less tanky and in your face than AD's upgraded death knights, and Alkaline uses what are basically "nerfed" shamblers that are melee only.

>>9514872
>>9515002
I made some fixes . hopefully this one's better.

>>9515152
https://files.catbox.moe/iik3mk.wad
fuck me

>>9515131
Eh, that's odd. I honestly think Alkaline is harder somehow anyway. Knocking it down to normal has made things so much more enjoyable. Perhaps I just stumbled into the tricker maps early though.

here's a random shot in the dark question - on a scale of 1 to 10, how much coding knowledge and experience would one theoretically need to port doom to the mattel hyperscan?

>>9515025
>>9515047
>>9515075
you guys tried changing the FOV or limiting the FPS?

>>9515152
It's a bit better, no demo this time cause I saved twice to see the whole map.

Technical:
-You still have some missing textures on the huge Imp/Pinky closets.
-Some doors/switch covers have unpegged textures.

-Feedback:
-I feel like you don't need to put a linedef to trigger a trap in front of EVERY switch.
-For exemple, in the blue key room, the Arachnotrons will show up before you pull the switch, and shooting will wake up the cacos. Hence, the timer you put on the blue key serves no purpose.
-Also, there's several room where you come into a very small hallway, and can just back up to kill enemies one by one. You put a crusher before the yellow key room to prevent that, but all it did for me was crush the hell knight, a pinky and several souls.
-Maybe I broke something, but the final 2 Cybers are completely optionnal.
-The hallway behind the locked blue door is a cool encounter, but spoiled by the noises of the ArchVile.
I feel it is a good map, but not quite for me.

on quake 1, is there a mechanical difference between the rottweilders and knights?

>>9515175
There's definitely easier and harder maps in both sets. They also let you choose the order of maps yourself so it's hard to find a good progression of difficulty, and plenty of the levels can be long and exhausting.

>>9515025
Are you using software rendering? Because that has fucking perspective.

just completed the first and second dn3d episode

>>9515301
thanks pal. these feedbacks are really appreciated. it definitely feels like i have to find my footing when it comes to encounter design. I also appreciate the technical feedback. thanks and merry christmas.

>>9514149
Use the -iwad command line option

>>9515263
>how much coding knowledge and experience
I'm looking up the specs now and this thing sounds like a little bit of a nightmare
Chances are pretty good but it sounds like a $50k job on a good day, and some of the maps might need to be modified to reduce renderer overhead

>>9513847
You sound just like neighbours, fuck off.

I just did ad_s1m1 (slipgate conundrum) and after using the console to get back to ad_chapters, AD had forgotten my completion status of every map. Weird.

>>9515340
Speed and health are different, and the dog can lunge. You can also partially dodge the knight's attack since it does a small amount of damage during multiple swing frames and each one checks distance to enemy.

>>9515441
If you use the 'map' command to load a new level then it forgets everything. Use the 'changelevel' command instead.

>>9515340
dogs have a stupid bounding box that causes them to get stuck if they aren't placed in a completely open area, and their attack gives all of its damage in a single instance

>>9515953
>>9515957
i feel some sadistic crossover incoming

>>9515989
Serious Sam enemies would fit well within Doom. Of course not visually, but mechanically.

>>9515991
i mean, you could always doomify them visually

>>9515079
Guess I'll play without then. Always hated mouselook on 2.5D games, like >>9515046 said every Doom port has trash mouselook and I don't expect this one to be much better

>>9516017
Well, The Force Engine has opengl rendering so you can have mouselook without the disgusting 2.5D warping effect if that's what you're worried about

>>9516028
I've tried mouselook on shit like GZDoom and it still feels off for some reason. I'm used to it at this point and like the horizontal aiming anyway so I don't really care. I actually prefer it, unless it's shit like Quake, obviously

>>9516017
It's just esc and a couple clicks if you ever want to mess with it. Nearly all these pre-full-3D shooters are balanced around horizontal mouse aim anyways. I prefer full mouselook with aim assist for most of them.

Zoomer here, just finishing up my Doom UV keyboard only playthrough and god... Doom is just so much better playing with keyboard only. I'm not saying this to be elitist or to belittle those who play with WASD+mouse, as I couldn't care less for how people play, but hell it really is too easy playing with mouse, while on keyboard only you'll have a more tense experience with a crisp difficulty curve, where dying is easy if you fuck it up and every decision counts. If you think vanillafags are annoying it's ok, but I genuinely think you're missing a great gaming experience.
Picrel is my keyboard scheme, I don't think you have to use the vanilla mappings, they're AIDS and a surefire way to get carpal tunnel, as long as you don't have the precision and speed of a mouse and the intuitiveness of WASD, I think you'll have a similar experience to mine.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
You HAVE beaten System Shock, right, anon?

>>9516065

>>9516058
>crisp difficulty curve
What the actual fuck is a "crisp" difficulty curve?

>>9514848
That looks like you're playing DOOM through the lens of a camcorder viewfinder pointed at a cheapo 13" color TV from 1976.

>>9516102
A curve that's slick, goated with the sauce and up on the down low, dawg

The Andy Sixx Log Doom mod demo is out now: https://www.moddb.com/mods/poom-miasma-massacre It contains 6+ levels, new weapons & monsters and custom soundtrack. More updates in the future. It's slidding, baby!

>>9515814
Works on my machine

>>9514848
I kinda get it. To me, the original Doom episodes look best on Crispy doom low detail, maybe because the chunkiness causes my brain to invent detail that isn't there. The geometry looks too sparse and plain at high resolutions. Even with usermaps I rarely have a reason to go higher than 400p.

That isn't what crts actually looked like though, just FYI.

I'm not meaning to be inflamatory lads, but does HL1 get much better after Blast Pit?
It's got lots of character and the soldier AI is cool how it nades you if you hide, but other than that it's pretty standard/substandard combat and poor level design/platforming.

>>9516181

Merry Christmas /doom/

I'm dreaming of a red Christmas,
Just like the ones I did adore.
Where the hallways gleam,
and demons scream,
their guts spilled on the floor...

Oh. Interesting.

I mean, maybe you just wasn't diagnosed. I'm suspecting myself. Jokes aside, an endeavour like this would probably require way more dedication than most people would willing to provide.

why modders do this

>>9516181
Honestly, seeing it through todays standards makes it look bad. If you're unfortunate enough to have grown up with the more advanced yet soulless games then its unlikely you'll understand just why Half Life is so good.

Good Yule to everyone who observes~
I finally got time to map a bit again. Hopefully the Quake 2 25th anniversary collaborative UNIT's HUB will be of rememberance.
The UNIT is almost done. Just a little bit left to tweak now, mostly gameplay-related.

>>9517237
>why modders do this
i partly blame Brutal Doom and the boomers who told zoomers that it was more Doom than Doom and the proper way to play it.
>like there's a proper way to play anything to begin with...
>like the vanilla version of a game as popular as Mario is somehow improper

>>9517237
>why modders do this
People with technical skills but no creativity or coherent vision need to tard wrangled or else things like this happen.

>>9516181
Blast Pit is the best part of the entire game. I'm sorry to say it's not going to live up to that part again...

>>9517237
>why modders do this
Because for a lot of them this is their first time ever doing game design shit. So when they're given the keys to the candy store, they kinda go apeshit without even stopping to think if they should add everything that crosses their mind.

>>9517262
>Blast Pit is the best part of the entire game.
Its the "oh, that part" for me, where I usually take a break and come back to it when I can be bothered.

>>9517254
Your maps are amazing but not as amazing as you are, you beautiful bean, happy holidays and be safe.
>>9517237
What >>9517261 and >>9517263 said, but there's also a lot of people who are drawn to these sorts of "messy mods".

>>9517263
>>9517261
>>9517270
This is the guys 8th or 9nth mod over the course of a decade

>>9517274
Doesn't matter how many mods you shit out if you never take a moment to reflect and think about design while making them.

>>9517274
So he's either dumb or just does this for fun. At that point you just accept it for what it is then.

>>9517353
>>9517270
I just want a good weapon mod for Blood that slightly improves/alters things without a full overhaul. And maybe adds quick melee (EC does have quick melee on SOME guns, but not the others, and it is shit)

Why did DSDA get rid of the old Boom HUDs with the bars? Why does this fucking source port keep gutting features that have been apart of Boom for decades?

>>9517358
There's sadly not much in between the options provided by some of the ports, and the craziness of the Extra Crispy mod.

>>9517265
>t. Xen-worshipper

>>9517270
Thank you. Y-you too.

I finished Arcane Dimesions, ending with Tears of the False God.
This took me an age and I still managed to miss a secret. I must have spent about 20 minutes wandering around before I realised that you need to walk through the other side of the portals to get the last two shards.
The map was amazing - particularly in terms of visuals and the layering it had going on, but the combat encounters weren't as tight as some of the others. Overall I'm pleasantly surprised, because I thought AD was just being overhyped. But it really is great.

>>9517516
AD did a lot for Quake's popularity from 2015-2020. Even John Romero said in 2021 if he were to ever do a new Quake episode after Sigil 2 he'd be using AD as the standard to measure up to.

>>9517237
Iktf. The only thing stopping me from using Final Doomer with everything is the creator(s) making Doomguy really tall for some reason.

>>9517237
I like 3 things about this mod. The custom gibs look amazing and feel great as you are peeling enemies off. The butcher fix makes them throw in continuous arcs which turns them into a bit more than just ammo dump meatbags (I don't crouch around butchers so I have to pay attention). Enemies are not hitscan so you can dodge cultist projectiles. The third one is also an on/off option if you are usingNotBlood, I would welcome the other two as enhancements in NotBlood and it would be perfect.

The little guys throwing blood are okay too but it would be better if only some and not all of the neutral npcs transformed into them.

>>9517516
The big secret behind Tears of the False God is nuts, most of the enemies in the map are hidden in the arena it leads up to.
AD is 10/10 to be sure, but I'm loving Alkaline right now, which is basically a sci fi tech base equivalent to it. The same mapper behind Tears also made an amazing map for this, a flying sky base you need to power down and it's also 10/10.

>>9517541
>he'd be using AD as the standard to measure up to.
I can see why. It makes base Quake look like a completely different game.

For the people who have played the AUG_ZENITH maps,how do i fix those green signs that says "FIRE"? is it because i am playing the map on gzdoom? or is there some graphic option i need to toggle?

>>9513578
Done a round of updates on 94 Protons Of /vr/, BETAv0.9.1, a few of the things I changed aren't reflected in the DeHacked yet, so I'll be uploading that once it is, should be available soon. Apologies again for being quiet.

>added a small stair step to the central platform in the courtyard in E3L6: Recycling Complex, so that if you fall down in the acid at the start, you can get back up, BUT ONLY on Easy skill settings, on Medium and Hard, this stair step will be absent and you're still fucked if you fall down
>MIDI track for E2L1: Peaceful Rest Valley now has fadeout removed, loop isn't immaculate, but you don't have the track fading out every couple few minutes
>MIDI track for E2L2: Plutonica is polished up, it now has a drum track and kinda sounds like an old Hell Revealed MIDI
The tweaked MIDIs I think are good to go as they are now, but if you feel like polishing them further, I won't object.

I'll be altering E1L6: Lucifer's Hammer to make the bossfight less drawn out. Primarily by providing a Plasma Rifle so that you have a somewhat easier time to kill one of the Paramatizers (currently, the combined bombardment of both of them together with the spawning monsters means your window for lining up rockets without being seriously injured or killed is EXTREMELY small). Will probably devise a custom monster spawner for this map, because fucking Pain Elementals.

>>9517575
What's your load order? There must be some sort of conflict going on.

>>9517581
I tried loading it without DOOM EXP mod and the signs are gone,looks like its one of those maps that cant be played with weapon/monster replacers without something breaking

i am fucking retarded,sorry

>>9517585
Hm... Have you tried loading DOOM EXP and then Aug;Zenith?

>>9517546
I actually did a personal modification of Final Doomer that mixes the features of several classes into one, based on BTSX guy.

Gravity staff for melee
Katana as a quick melee for all weapons, when sheathed, altfire has Halderman Device functionality
BTSX blaster with hitscan primary,
Hellbound three-shot-pump shotgun that can switch between regular buckshot and BTSX electric blast,
BTSX SSG with regular buckshot primary and BTSX sonic blast secondary,
BTSX Rfile that has more rapidfire weaker primary and stronger regular BTSX secondary (with BTSX charge function)
BTSX Rocket launcher
Hellbound minigun spliced with DAKKA's flamethrower (that sets things on Whitemare style fire instead of DAKKA style burn-off)
Whitemare BFG primary with Plutonia BFG secondary.

Left to do for it to be presentable:
sticky/detonateable grenades for RL altfire,
ability to charge up to 3 rockets/grenades for RL,
Redeemer-style controllable Hellbound nuke for BFG.
Alter/frankensprite graphics for the new firing modes

>>9517546
>making Doomguy really tall for some reason
what prevents you from going into the player definitions and setting it back to vanilla values?

>>9517591
I don't know how. I know Slade is involved, but otherwise I don't know what to change. I'd use it for literally everything.

>>9517586
thats the order on my zdl yes,i assume its something on the mod itself,i will try with other mods and see if it does the same

>>9515025
This is literally me but with Blood, and only Blood.
I have no idea what the fuck is happening here, it is a thing with multiple sourceports and even Fresh Supply. I am forced to play the DOS version with keyboard keys for looking up and down.
What kind of witchcraft is that?

>>9517516
Borderline obscenely good.
>>9515025
Me with Marathon. Editing the FOV helped.

>>9517586
I thought you need to always load gameplay mods after maps?

As much as I like tears (the secret encounter is worth the price of admission alone) I always felt it was a bit out of character for AD. I have a soft spot for bogbottom and sepulcher.

>>9516240
Merry Christmas!

>>9517632
I always felt like Sepulcher is overrated. It's a confusing mess that all looks the same, Bogbottom is the superior version.

Made an ultimate compilation of Q1 metal textures.

Merry Christmas.

>>9517650
>>9517632
For me? It's the Necromancer's Keep.

>>9517593
>>9517591
The change is exclusively visual, and IIRC was done so Doomguy does not appear to be a manlet. The center of your view is set so that you look eye-to-eye level with the zombies, and not at their chest level.
The physical height/hitbox are unchanged - you can still fit in the same holes Doomguy can, your camera is just raised by seven pixels/units.

The change is trivial to reverse - open the pk3 in a winrar/7zip, and doubleclick DECORATE lump then chose any editor - even notepad will do - remove the
"Player.viewheight 48"
from the definitions or change it to 41 (default value)
Save and close the file, approve changes to archive - it would repackage the file only, without having to repackage every other file.
Takes less than a minute to do.

>>9517660
Doompilled. Thank you.

>>9517561
>>9517516
What are some maps/packs that use AD or Alkaline (I don't like Copper) as a base and aren't included in the respective releases?

>>9517607
is it the distortion of the software rendering?(which is emulated with Fresh Supply iirc)
>Even John Romero said in 2021 if he were to ever do a new Quake episode after Sigil 2 he'd be using AD as the standard to measure up to.
well as long as it feels like Quake and not AD it's a good thing(the vibes are quite different)

>>9517662
https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?filtered=Arcane+Dimensions

There really aren't a lot of Alkaline based maps unfortunately. Get your mapping groove on anon.

>>9517664
>>9517541
sorry forgot to @

>>9517554
The butchers are a dev oversight, right? Why else would they have a separate projectile for crouching Caleb that STILL doesn't connect?

>>9515106
Well I've played on a CRT so while I may have forgotten, at least I have the experience. That said, you and >>9516127 might be right. it's been a LONG time since I gamed on a CRT.


I'm hoping to find something of the like for Quake 2 as well. Or other filters that make it look "chunkier" because the better it looks, the worse it looks.

I apologize for the Discord links but this is where i got them from.

>>9517670
I think so, why whould they throw up or throw the knife based on whether you crouch or not. I think the silver roided gargoyle hold crouch to cheese is also a bug.

>>9517670
this. the choppers fly lower than the spit for a reason.
the movement design went for a prone position rather than crouch so maybe having the choppers go horizontally lower than the hand look weird?

>>9517674
That shader is way exaggerated even for the shittiest of CRT TVs, scanlines weren't even visible on period-accurate VGA PC monitors. Colors were far more vivid than that and contrasted strongly against true blacks.

>>9517682
never mind, he spits from his neck anyway...

>>9517662
Not a fan of copper either. Honestly, I'd just stick with the most recent AD or Alkaline since only the best and most balanced make it to the main releases. Anything else tends to have issues or is unbalanced. Supposedly we're due the 1.2 release of Alkaline soon because it's been over a year without an update and the 1.2 version is currently in beta.

>>9517676
i should clarify it's a beta of doom 64.
i wonder if they have map pyramid map in this.

>>9517676

>>9517676
Do the GEC fellas know about this?

>>9517676

>>9517676

>>9517676

>>9516540
legit first time playing GMOTA since 2016 - knuckle crack sound from Kenshiro made me crack up

He throws the knife when you are standing so it makes even less sense. What Death Wish did with them is a good change.

>>9517735
>He throws the knife when you are standing so it makes even less sense
which could have been unfinished business

>>9517735
also it should have been half a dozen different mods, not just one bloated thing

>>9517741
nvm i was thinking of "extra crispy" mod

>>9517741
>>9517749
No you were correct. I fucked up. I meant Extra Crispy but my brain wrote Death Wish for some reason. And I agree, I would take some things from the mod but it's bloated as it is.

Didn't Doomworld had a thread where someone was sharing unused D64 levels but they restricted the download for no fucking reason?

>>9517662
Raven Keep uses AD as base, but adds shitloads of stuff on top of that including new weapons, monsters and even 3 bosses. Map pack has 2 maps + intro map. The ma pack is heavily Dark Souls influenced in aesthetics.

Warframe tilesets would do great as Quake 1 and 2 maps
Mainly the Zariman

>>9516058
When I first played doom it was on a controller. I would shoot with the shotgun once, then go behind cover. Not that I grew up with the brown+bloom "cover shooters" of the mid 00s it was just the natural thing to do in such a hitscan heavy game. in a way I played smarter than I do now
all in all I think controller aiming is better for games that are not fully FPS like resident evil and metal gear

>>9517665
>https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?filtered=Arcane+Dimensions
>Violent Rumble 1.00
huh

>>9517832
Probably because the readme credits some monsters to AD. Likewise, it is also tagged with 'Quoth'.

So i have a nerdy question, in Blood, the higher the resolution or lower the FOV, the darker the voxels.
Why?

>>9517845
also i may be wrong about this one but the size of the object seems to affect its display brightness?

>>9517676
>>9517791
Hopefully it has the secret dev message on Breakdown

>>9517768
Would frag.

>>9517674
And I thought my shader was already exaggerated enough.

>>9518051

>>9517580
Why does the rocket spawn a bunch of hitscan shots when it explodes?

which game has the best instagib free for all deathmatch and how do i set it up and why won't you play it with me

>>9517580
>>9518063
And why does the rocket only work at some parts of the map?

>>9517845
>>9517850
ok so it only seems to affect at which distance it darkens like with the normal "fog" effect.
it reminds me of how in Doom the proximity lighting effect changes with window size.
it must be the same principle in action

anyone know how to do some console stuff to AVP Classic 2000? I wanna disable texture filtering and camera tilt but can't figure it out

this boss fight lagged like hell in vkquake, seems that one monster got stuck in the opening walls and crashed my fps to 1, I don't know how I survived until they stopped moving

>>9518063
It doesn't, that's a pseudo-particle effect.

>>9518090
Can you explain your problem in detail?

>>9518124
Which map is that?

>>9518158
>Can you explain your problem in detail?
webm related, running in GZDoom. Don't know if it's the most recent version, but it's still an odd thing. As are the bullet puffs spawning after shooting the rocket.
And none of the custom weapons consume ammo.

>>9518161
Ah, yeah, your version is out of date, none of that behavior is correct. Either use the PROTDECO20 patch, which is written in Decorate, or update GzDoom.

>>9518160

>>9513578

Looks like Duke fans are eating good for the holidays.

I thought this only happened to me. Blood is my favorite game but it makes me dizzy as fuck, I barely moves vertically because of it.

>>9517580
>>9513578

Fuck, I meant PROTDECO21. Uh, anyway I'll upload the just now updated 94BETAv0.9.2 which has DeHacked updates as well.

>>9518167
Thanks.
Do you know if there's a way of installing multiple versions of the same mod? Since so many maps require older versions of AD.

>>9518191
Goddamn, it's been a fucking sweet year for Duke leaks.

>>9518201
pretty sure you just need the last version

>>9518238
go to archive.org and type in "pimps at the sea", doesn't look like much but then again I don't have a 360 development kit

>>9518247

one of the many builds of pimps at sea to be more precise, there's a few of them out but this one was new yeah

look at this guy trying to hide the fucking D64 leak
https://twitter.com/NathusSilverus/status/1607202521524703233

>>9518242
It seems to check for an internet connection even with the patch, causes Xenia to immediately crash or throw up an error. A modded 360/dev kit is the only option at the moment. Sad!

it's a build from late 96, when they scrapped the idea of mesoamerican hell and shit, so no pyramid map here, but you may find some placeholder remnants, screenshots like the pyramid and some footage shown, seems to be the last things remaining, no signs of that prototype rom around...

>>9517676
hey if anyone can figure out how to rip all the .z64 sprites again that would be great, that .wad is is missing content, they're not all of them, using slade only shows maybe half of them, most of the weapon sprites when being used are missing for example, as well as the skyboxes (placeholder is the "i suck at making maps" texture), maybe more content from the era >>9518323 mentions is in there

>>9518348
the rom doesn't even launch for me, i think it's busted or i'm just incompetent

>>9518369
rom only works in actual hardware or using an emulator called 1964, any other emulator will not work with it (so far tried with pj64, mupen64, ares, mp64++) which is why i'm asking if anyone else can re-rip the textures

>>9518313
Using texture filtering on anything before iDtech 3 is disgusting and even stuff like rtcw is barely acceptable with filtering

>>9518191
>DNF was originally going to be a 2D platformer
Not exactly what I have in mind when I think of DNF, but I'd still take it over DNF 2011.

>>9518415
IIRC, there were two projects with the Duke Nukem Forever title, one being a sequel to the platformer games that was cancelled early on, and the other being the one we all love to hate today.

>>9517575
Don't play with anything that modifies decorations. The mapset turns some into invisible noisemakers via DEHACKED and that gets messed up if they're replaced.

I've beaten System Shock 2, which isn't really comparable in the gameplay department, but I think it's obtuse enough to earn me a similar amount of gamer cred.

I feel like I am too much of a dingdong to ever beat nuclear winter. such a hard fucking expansion, I just want to shoot the fucking ELVES

>>9517676
Neat. Did anyone explored it already?
>>9518191
This is getting more weird with Duke. When it comes to Forever's 2001 build, there're multiple candidates for the source. But now it's Endangered Species and 1996 build... Oh yeah, don't forget Prey one. Leaked so close to each other?
It would make more sense to either have a huge leak with all of this in one package or be more subtle about it. As far as I can recall, this type of thing is in the hands of old 3D Realms folks like Miller (who's using it for getting some attention to himself and nu-Apogee on Twitter) and current ones (mainly Fred).
Either one of the parties have really poor security or leaking shit intentionally for whatever reason.

>>9518529
Turn the difficulty down, dummy.

>>9518529
I felt it was poorly designed trash so I kind of gave up by the time I got to the north pole levels.

>>9517262
I honestly don't know why people like this level so much, there's nothing challenging or engaging in it except avoiding the tentacles, at least until you figure out you can just crouch.

I'm making a WAD (mbf21 umapinfo, not sure if relevant) and when I test in dsdadoom it crashes on launch with the error "expected String Constant but got Identifier instead". Anyone had this before and know how to fix it?

>>9518730
Something wrong with your UMAPINFO probably. Like you forgot something somewhere.

An open source RA2 port would be a dream come true. ZH and TS would be nice too.

Remember lads, we still have a couple more days left of the year.

All intentional.

>>9518885
>All intentional.
Seems like it, yeah. I mean, it could be just this x0r dude getting big bag of leak material and now feeding everyone the pieces, but that's not how it usually done.
These leaks are cool and the story how they come together are often just as interesting (if not even more).
>All attention is good attention.
Sometimes, I guess. Often it's just sad to see how much some people are just desperate for attention.

>>9518739
You're right, I'm a big fuckhead. I accidentally left a comma at the end of the final line of intermission text, which broke everything after it.

>>9516017

DF in my view is a bit different - Jedi engine was one of the first where looking up and down was actually a part of the game. Yeah, sure the texture and perspective still goes wonky but I found it fun on a recent playthorugh with mouselook, having played it in the 90s with a keyboard only.

Is rubicon just a texture pack, and alkaline the gameplay mod? Searching for alkaline on quaddicted brings up a bunch of maps that only mention rubicon.

>>9518730
Are you going to release the wad here?

Blood leak when?

>>9519004
Whenever you decide to put that knife to use.

Half Life 2 2001 build when?

>>9517723
Quake 1995 build.

>>9519061
I say, Quake II with the original source Code and AI before Tim Wallets told carmack to change it to C++ to fuck over Bryan Hook

>>9518658
>leaking shit intentionally for whatever reason
Doubt it since 2k would sue them into the ground, it could be that someone bought some boxes of old PCs or hard drives and there they were, that's how they found the Starcraft source code.

>>9515025
>played with mouselook just fine
>decided it's time to be less of a scrub and have been playing without mouselook the past several months

I think it's a case of getting use to it.

>>9518167
This was really cool. If there's ever another update to AD I hope this becomes official.

>>9519095
>the Starcraft source code.
please dont make me remember that debacle... At least these latest leaks are getting dumped right away

>>9519139
>low res + filter
Dude wtf

>>9519095
>Doubt it since 2k would sue them into the ground
I doubt 3DR would do that for this very reason. They had enough of this suing shit. It could be Scott Miller, however. Since he was seemingly sperging out about going through old 3DR stuff from his archives or something and how "he had much more than 3DR" or something along those lines.
Easier to leak it via third party and then use it for PR purposes than doing so directly.
>>9519143
>please dont make me remember that debacle...
It's just painful.

>>9519161
I have a shit computer and or I didn't mess with the AD settings. I don't know.

>>9519161
Wait, there's a filter option for Quakespasm? I thought that map always had a yellow tint to it.

>>9517676

>>9519210
The two shotguns and plasma gun looked way better back then. The SSG isn't distinct enough in the final game.

i thought the only new (old) asset was the volcanos pouring lava background but turns out even the weapons are different
>flamethrower
wonder if it'd be like in rott or strife
it's funny because when people saw that early rl design, they made it a flamethrower without knowing that such a concept could still happen in an alt timeline

>>9517676
>>9517707
The fact that ancient beta shit needs to be "leaked" at all is ridiculous. Why do corporations hoard things?
>durr they might want to make money from it later
Doom 64 officially ported to PC was their chance to do that.

>>9518907
>DF in my view is a bit different - Jedi engine was one of the first where looking up and down was actually a part of the game.
It’s similar to Hexen and Heretic where you can look up and down in these shooters but they still weren’t designed with vertical mouse aiming in mind. It almost wasn’t even a thing in Duke3D: When it’s demo came out, people who played one of those Terminator Future Shock games kept saying how awesome full mouse aiming was so 3DR implemented it for D3D.

>>9519261
Many of these builds or art assets are left zipped up somewher in either some old dev's disk and the dev forgot about it. Or the data is
around in the company data server somewhere.

As for why they don't just realese them?
I assume that:
1st is that its an unfinished product. Why bother when you can't even sell it (ie Randy wanted to package DN1-2 DNF2011 and DNF2001 to sell).
If its a half-finished mess then its stupid.

2nd is that assets may be reused for newer titles (as in used for refrence while making new ones)

3rd is negligence or unwillingness. An anon on another thread said that Zenimax told Romero to cease with the early Doom stuff.
So it might be corporate dickwaving.

I don't like the -vania maps as much as they're intended, but that's because I'm a retard that keeps doing dumb shit like grenadejumping before obtaining jump-boots or findining the scuba gear only once everything is already killed

If I purchase DOOM64 on Steam, do I get the wad files to then put into a source port or do I have to play through some shitty Bethesda meth lab launcher ?

>>9519290
You get the wad, but why bother when you can just rip the wad from an N64 rom?

>>9519290
I dont remember Doom 64 requiring the Bethesda launcher, in fact I think they closed that down the second they brought Fallout 76 to Steam.
Granted there's still a section where it encourages you to sign into a Beth account but I just ignored it and played the game just fine

>>9519210

The one that is a tech demo, like Unreal's 1995 build.

That megasphere with the eyes looks great, I think I’m going to use it for 64 from now on.

It works in all emulators by the way. You have to fix the checksum with ucon64. So ucon64 DMEVAL12101996.z64 --chk in the windows command prompt.

Mad jelly. Not regular jelly or skeleton jelly. Mad jelly. But enjoy it, mang.

I turned the filtering off just to see what it looks like. To get that chunky ass nearest look. It definitely looks better with the linear filtering on.

Nearest neighbor bros on suicide watch!!

>It definitely looks better with the linear filtering on.
For me it varies. Most things before 1998 I prefer unfiltered, and I filter nearly everything of and past that year. I think the Thief games may be an exception, but it’s been awhile and they’re more stealth games than FPS anyways.

>>9519504

It's called lighting, and shaming someone for low res screenshots on A RETRO GAME THREAD is beyond retarded.

>>9519621
You don't need to reload a wrench and like every single Shock game after it because Ken Levine wants to remake the same game over and over - it's very effective.

Not for me though some people like it.

>>9519649
>Bro everything takes 12 fucking shots to kill.
Even knowing how beefy they can be this is a weird thing to say: If everything died in 12 stinger shards they wouldn’t be too tanky. 12 stinger alt fires, though? That would be tanky as fuck.

>>9519482

Doesn't that PoS have a nuDoom port?

>>9519672
everything is 4 shotgun alt blasts (IF every pellet actually hits, in which case its 5) which is 20-25 ammo. :o

>>9519290
Yes. There is a wad file that you can use with Doom 64 EX+. Bethesda's port is also based on Doom 64 EX though.

>>9519291
N64 version doesn't have the extra episode.
