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.

LAST UPDATE: >>9531469

Map submission deadline extended to February 28th.

>>9539409
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING TO FIRST DATES, READ THIS: >>9534838

>>9539408
thanks for the bake

>>9539453
Thanks for the OP image material, been running out of it lately

>>9539454
nice gif

>>9539416
I wonder how different Quake would've played if the runes collected at the end of each episode granted the buffs that DoE gives them in deathmatch. Would probably break proper exploration and combat in all four cases, but the concept of players progressing differently depending on the order of which episodes they beat first is pretty cool. Maybe when VR2 is done I can figure out how QC actually works and try implementing the idea myself.

i finally found what this ambient was in e3m2 when you find the secret doll by coincidence while making my night playlist...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfZxZmbbWI8

>>9539668
>ambient
>Brian Eno
Instant kino.
I'm gonna' look up some MIDI's of his tracks for mappin'.

If the GMOTA guy is reading this, this new surprise update for the mod has been great! dooomslayer is much more smooth to play. I wonder when that new update of the NES weapons mod will come by.

>>9539835
Either sometime this month or in February. I'm not sure if I want to take my vacation immediately or not. I could honest to god release Gaiden right now but there's still a few missing sounds, and I'd like to make a trailer.

Also I'm gonna work on giving Doomslayer some more polish, v1.5.2's gonna reduce the amount of damage required to charge the dagger by half, and in the future I'm considering changing out his 4 ammo pools for two ammo pools ala Hexen. Because the ammo drop on melee kill thing is pissing me off.

Doing this at almost 4 AM because I have my shit sorted out.

>>9539502
>the concept of players progressing differently depending on the order of which episodes they beat first is pretty cool
It works for Megaman

>>9538232
Yup.
>>9539151
It's okay. Stuff happens, but at least its fixed.
>It's just a little addon for kicks. There's no real story addition.
That's okay. Story had a perfect ending anyway.

>>9539454
So, they're fighting against Corvus and army of...?

>>9539427
>new mapping project
Oh yes!
>social interaction is required
Oh no!

hi lads! I made another map. Hopefully it's less shitty than the last one. Feedback is MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance!
(MAP01, tested with dsda doom, complevel 9, Boom format).
https://files.catbox.moe/ipqj6w.wad
Hope I can join in on the fun of /vr/ mapping projects soon.

What's wrong with Eviternity/Otex skies on Woof? They don't get stretched with stretched skies on, not even when replaced with skies that normally get stretched. Is this hardcoded to port or can I fix this in Slade. Changing y offset doesn't help either.

(And yes I can't play without freelook on.)

>>9539427
>>9540004
>social interaction is required
Just imagine that somewhere out there - some middle-aged, dripping sweat and unshaven dude, frantically tugs his yellow tinted shirt and strangles his meaty dong, while impatiently waiting for this self-appointed /vr/ date officiant to give him a pair. Hahaha.. that's too gay even for my standards, no way Jose. Dream on, or go back playing SRB2KART... or something.

>>9540086
>SRB2KART
This tranny discord circlejerk shit really should go. Stop contaminating this thread

>>9539427
Does project lead intend to pair up with last odd-numbered participant if he ever appears?

>>9540012
I died nearly immediately in the final fight, sad I couldn't beat it first try. Really cool map, I like both theme and flow except I suck at cyber fighting in small rooms
https://files.catbox.moe/jbxn7q.lmp

Feedback :
-Ammo, health and armor feel abundant yet not overkill, good balance on that.
-Revenants on the outside wall of the base are mostly harmless until you go inside, but have to be taken seriously after that.
-The map looks really good, some parts are maybe a bit too dark and could use some lights for contrast (my eyes are fucked tho, so maybe listen to another anon on that)
-Computer trap is 10/10.
-I think the second Archvile (with the knight, after the mancubus room) doesn't do much, and could be replaced with something else
-I didn't realize there was only one secret, so I kept looking out for some.

Technical:
-I sort of broke the blue key fight by pushing the elevator button through the pillar used to hide it.
-Some railing textures bleed through the floor.

>>9540120
The plan was for signups to remain open until the end of the project, pairing up any odd men out with either new signups or with people who wanted to double dip after submitting a map.

>>9539408
fuck, this art style is repulsive. looks like the new Monkey Island game.

>>9539668
>>9539750
based. Neroli and On land are two of the best albums to have on while playing Doom

>>9540127
>I sort of broke the blue key fight by pushing the elevator button through the pillar used to hide it.
You think I could prevent this somehow? Also i'll fix the texture railings ASAP. Huge thanks man, really appreciate the effort and the compliments. Turns out I really like mapping and I want more

>>9540158
With the room begin this dark, a well lit button anywhere else, like on the wall left to that huge blue skull would be noticed.

>>9540130
On brief glance you seem to have thought this through well enough, but just in case I'd suggest to check-in with your spambox. And mail settings too perhaps, I don't know whether automated "suspicious mail" deletion could be ingrained into service policies or some user switches. Good luck with submissions.

>>9540183
The Outlook account locked me for that very reason, but the mail.com email seems to be working fine. But I haven't gotten anything but test messages I've sent myself.

>>9540176
yeah I suppose that could work better! I'm going to make the lift lower without pressing the button so the cheese is 100% unavoidable

>>9540194
They're busy drawing sketches and preparing mock-ups, don't you worry. You're not supposed to go empty-handed on your dates after all.

>>9540012

Thanks. That was cool. I'd offer constructive criticism but I don't have any.

The Force Engine Linux port with working Audio and MIDI playback thanks to mlauss!
https://github.com/mlauss/TheForceEngine/tree/test-audio-select

Clone branch and compile then start Fluidsynth with
> fluidsynth -a alsa -m alsa_seq -g 1.0 -s /usr/share/sounds/sf3/default-GM.sf3
(or similar)

Then run the compiled binary and go to Settings > Sound > MIDI Output Device and specify the MIDI Output Device.

Enjoy!

>>9540329
are you the anon that made the demo?

>>9540247
I've found a way to softlock yourself near the beginning. Played the updated version on complevel 9 with woof.

https://files.catbox.moe/cg6ccy.lmp

>>9539668
I made that realization when I noticed the same song used in "Think about Wife, Regret"

>>9539841
Cool, good to know. Damn shame kustam got pulled out for a major tune up for the next big update. Thankfully you still have older versions of gmota up for grabs.

It's not coming out, is it?

>>9540381
Looks like they just said fuck it and started focusing on Phantom Fury

>>9540381
They just made a blog post a couple days ago.

>>9540392

>>9540381

>>9540334

>>9540748
You'll still be having nightmares about rocket turrets for weeks though unfortunately.

>>9540247
>>9540127
No demo this time, I replayed your map, still good. However I forgot to mention something that I discovered in my 2nd playthrough : the crates in the super shotgun room seems to activate a lift, and I couldn't figure out which one the first time around. Replaying the map, I found the air vent that connects to those crates (I don't know how I missed it).
If the crates are used to go through the vent, what is that lift sound used for ?

>>9540136
>Neroli and On land
Neroli is top-shelf. Haven't heard On Land; thanks for the rec.
I wasn't expecting to find many Eno MIDI's, but damn I couldn't any for his solo stuff. Not even fucking Ambient 1. Criminal.
At least I got this "Warszawa" MIDI to use for a map. Berlin-era Bowie is basically just angsty Eno anyway.

>>9540748
>I look forward to never, ever playing it again.
I like to boot it up once in awhile just to play vanilla/custom maps through it. In the end I think I still prefer Xatrix's expac, I really appreciate how far their level design has come after the Redneck games.

Is there anyway to use gzdoom as a midi jukebox? To just play midi files from any folder you pick? That virtualmidisynth thing is a bit of a bloat and im trying to keep it minimalistic on my current computer

>>9541031
If you wanna just listen to MIDIs, you can use a program such as Foobar2000. You can even point it to different .sf2 files, so if you wanted to listen to At Doom's Gate with an SC55 one, and then wonder what it would sound like with an .sf2 which imitates the sound of the NES, you can do that.

>>9540996
>implying Rides Again level design wasn't great

>>9540970
>what is that lift sound used for ?
My guess is the istant lift to raise up the cacodemon in that room. In your first demo you somehow woke him up and propped him up without actually triggering the linedef. Oh well

>>9539409
The link to Unrattled leads to Ad Mortem's thread.

>implying Rides Again level design wasn't great
Better than base game by a lot. It's real fun seeing Xatrix as a whole start to smooth out the quirks in their level design from that up to RTCW.

>>9539408
Anyone here makes maps for Unreal Tournament 99? Can we post them here?

>>9541048
Very nice, works well, I imported the standard sc-55.sf2 and it works like a charm. Foobar is a really nice lightweight piece of software, finally some other way to preview midis for my map than the horrid windows midi player or taking couple of minutes each time to put it into slade. Thanks anon

>>9539408
What mods do you guys recommend for Quake 2?

>>9541172
stroggs gone mad, citadel, mission 64
zaero's okay too

>>9541142
>Can we post them here?
Go ahead, you can do the same with UT2004. Although I don't think I've seen anyone here mention Unreal mapping outside of the DNF2001 stuff.

>>9540996
What's the name of the mod in the video?

>>9541195
That’s Ground Zero played through the Knightmare Q2 source port.

>>9540601
>understand warrior things

>>9541172
this >>9541183
and some other goodies which you can play sp like STAND, Millious Q2 mods, all of citizen abel series.

the list is huge.

>>9541187
Awesome. I have a couple of maps that are almost finished.
>Although I don't think I've seen anyone here mention Unreal mapping outside of the DNF2001 stuff.
UT is still fun to play and UnrealEd is relatively easy to use. I'm surprised there's isn't a bigger community behind it.

Hey /vr/oskis, I put up a test Zandronum server if you want to break my shit, it's /vr/troopers at 51.161.34.159:10666
I'm not gonna be here to oversee it so if it crashes, it crashes.

>>9539841
It's not a problem at all when you can get the chainsaw and just use it every time it comes off cooldown. The problem is that most just don't have chainsaws in them. =/

What if every 5 blue chests it checks to see if you have one yet, then gives you a pity chainsaw? Heh.

>>9541281
it's weird to say 'this year' when it's a year from now

>>9540875
It was the medic commanders that had me pulling my hair out. After the first two I just started rolling my eyes and pulling out the BFG.
Infinitely respawning enemies will never not be bullshit, and the fact that some of those respawning enemies happen to also be medics that can instantly revive, say, the medic commander that spawned it makes it worse.
And yeah having turrets comprise half the enemies in the last few maps was annoying.

That anon who once asked "what is the Arcane Dimensions for Doom" made me think of mods that could have had their own content (like unofficial patches, off-shoot/submods or maps) because the most obvious examples are either Brutal Doom, Complex Doom or Samsara
Also, one thing any 2016/Eternal inspired mod could do is come up with new demons inspired by those games just because of how more complex the modding of Quake and old Doom is compared to the new games
That one Plasma themed Revenant looks like he could have been an enemy in the TAG expansions and there's a mod for Eternal that just gives him the slime attacks from the Cybermanc

>>9541281
>tfw DOOM has been there for college students in the 90's to have fun and kill time and still being played by zoomers 30 years later, most of who are probably in college by now
At least from my own anecdotal experience. I'm not sure if there's any other early 2000s zoomers like me in my college playing this old DOS game.

Did anyone ever do a more complete rip of the leaked Doom 64 Beta rom?

>>9541172
Juggernaut so everything else will seem like a masterpiece afterwards. Make sure to get v1.2, though.

>>9540012
>>9540247
I think this map is okay but I have many nitpicks that I'll try to address roughly in order of appearance. I wish there were a few more bullets at the start since shooting the elevated skeletons at the start feels drawn out with the shotgun. I really dislike that some of the rock/sand piles around the start have impassible lines for no reason since it can block your dodging without any telegraph. This is especially annoying since not all of them are like this. Like the other post said already, many descended midtextures are visibly clipping through the floor with software rendering (you can fix this by varying the brightness value or flat between the surrounding sectors). The ambush before the rocket launcher is a blatant example of hitscanners without cover, the computer in the center isn't tall enough to protect you. I wish there were some consistency about which doors are intractable since inert/onesided doors look the same as normal ones. Using spectres as soon as you enter a dark room twice in the same map feels kind of lazy. Both archviles feel poorly used since the first one is trivial since he can never get behind you and the other is just a test of patience since it can never get down the lift. I didn't realize there was a lift at first since there's no indication it's intractable and it looks the same as the surrounding walls. I feel like the revenant/imp ambush by the computer switches would work a lot better if the wall above you were shorter so the enemies could shoot down at you when they get caught against the wall. I have no idea what the switch before the blue key lift is for since it seems like you can and should safely ignore it. The lost souls in the end room feel completely pointless since you can just kill them before you hit the switch, I'd honestly just remove them since the fight's hard enough anyway. You can also softlock yourself if you ride the perpetual lifts in that room up and jump over the wall. Cont.

>>9541481
A lot of the interconnectedness in this level feels unmotivated since it'll often lead you places you have no reason to return to. The visuals in the map are unpolished, I don't know why you'd use a high quality texture pack like Otex if you aren't even going to align your textures (not just aligning your similar textures to each other but also aligning seams of the textures with the edges of geometry. Otex was designed from the ground up for this, I'm not sure why so many people don't bother). Using a combination of stock and Otex also tends to look incongruous, you can sometimes get away with it but it shouldn't really be necessary given the latter's comprehensiveness.
This probably comes off as a scathing review but I'd like to stress that none of these things ruin the map, and I liked many of the ideas present even if the execution was flawed. I especially liked the big imp ambush and the last room, minus the lost souls. If you're interested in contributing to community projects I'd say you're already more capable than a lot of participants.

>>9540012
hot damn i hadn't thought of that song in years

>>9529102
I just finished playing Machete.wad and I would highly recommend it. I wish it didn't use so many fake doors, I wish the secrets weren't hidden on the automap and I still don't like aftits but those are pretty much my only complaints throughout. I'm not going to attempt giving individual level feedback since it's all largely minor. I'm happy to say that I encountered no bugs with uvmax on each map. the secret exit on map 31 is fuckin annoying. I'm considering trying to do full episode demos if no one else does first.

Is 2023 the year of Build Engine?

>>9541319
Nah, that's a bandaid fix to a bigger problem. I'm gonna to do some extended testing with the two mana system and see how it pans out. I'm pretty confident in it.

>>9540381

>cacodemons
>but half of them are replaced with custom cacodemons that have a chance to fall to the ground and roll toward you at mach 6 upon entering painstate, flattening you
has it been done

>>9541525
I'm still just getting into this and I'm having way more fun than I was expecting, this has some neat mechanics.

The only thing that it strikes me as missing is an arcade game's score counter and a bunch of points items that can happen, but that sounds like a lot of work for something most people would probably turn off right away.

>>9540136
I kinda like it. Reminds me of an amalgamation of several popular illustrators in the 90's.

>>9541615
It was something I considered a long ass time ago. But unless I tied the score items to something tangible with the game mechanics, I wouldn't do it. Glad to hear you're enjoying it though, this recent update was the more drastic compared the previous updates. I finally got around to stripping out so much extra crap and focusing on the worthwhile stuff.

Really at this point I've been fiddling with Blaz's fists to make them a little more appealing to use, along with finetuning his upgrades. I need to adjust the stun overload cus the self damage SEEMED like a good idea to start with but giving the melee guy an upgrade that punishes him for using it in melee is dumb as hell hindsight, the little caltrop upgrade is lackluster too, need to either make that better or replace it outright.

Really if you're new to me and my bullshit, you'll quickly find I'm constantly fucking around with GMOTA and trying to make it better. I have a problem.

>>9541398
I liked these fights, the beta gladiators in the other expansions were what bored me to tears. Quake 4 bringing them back in the form of the teleport dropper was one of the few things I liked about it, even if the dropper itself looked retarded.

Finally got DOOM on Steam. Been playing through it and it's shorter than I thought it'd be.

>>9541751
lol

Does anyone know if the maximum map size mentioned in this thread is still a concern in 2022? Specifically, for MBF21 in DSDADoom, Woof or GZDoom.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/59463-maximum-map-dimensions/

>>9541779
Are you saying whatever you're going to make needs to be bigger than this?:
>If the entire level is contained in a big cube that goes from -9400 to +9400 on each axis, you are assured that the maximum distance between any two point in that space will never be more than the cut-off value at which overflows happen. (sqrt(3*(18800^2)) == 32562)

Wrapping up this playthough of the old version before I dig into the new one, it's been great and I'm excited.

are there any gameplay mods that play more like resident evil? not including hunk or the mercenaries mod

>>9541582
Ha ha.
You've made me incredibly, sincerely sad.

>>9541641
I think you're going about it wrong. I haven't played the new GMOTA yet, but I played 1.4 and 1.4.1 a LOT, and this is from someone who likes Blaz the most: When I throw the sword (in 1.4) I LIKE using my fists for the short time I've lost my sword. They swing fast, they feel impactful. Having the option to reset the meter for my sword returning to me is awesome, but eventually I'll need to go back to my sword for more damage.

I haven't touched the latest GMOTA outside of that one /vr/ session so perhaps my opinion means very little, but I always thought the fists were auxiliary - a fun deviation from needing your sword. They were already appealing to use, just not your main way of engaging the enemies.

>>9541784
Yes. Already made, and the width does exceed that. Height and length don't.

>>9541890
Neat. Email the heads of the namedropped engines.

I hope some rogue beats him to the punch, just like what happened with Nightdive and the Strife beta here.

>>9541871
I've had quite a lot of people bitch and moan about the new fists. If you haven't played v1.5.1, you might feel the same way. You no longer have the lariat and fists do half the damage of sword strikes.

no man, you don't get it, this kind of review is exactly why I post here. Positive comments without any substance will get me nowhere in mapping, I think. I really thank you for these posts. I am very forgiving to myself seeing as this is like my third map (and very first boom map). Don't worry man I really appreciate the time you put in this and also agree with most points (interconnectedness, archvile usage, lost souls, visuals). Will try to improve. Thank you.,

Replying to newspost. 2023 is the year of build.

>>9542678
does this mean we will get a better sourceport in the future?

>>9542678

>>9542698
Yes. I'd be very surprised if BuildGDX dev didn't make improvements to BloodGDX in a month unless he's one of those fags who goes
>This was unlawful and you should be ashamed

>>9542698
hopefully, but im more excited for some juicy gameplay mods

>>9542698
Highly probable for sure.
If anything it should also speed up development because it can be used to speed up the reconstruction from the ground up.
I hope NBlood get's to add this to it.

>>9542698
Possibly. Whoever holds the rights to Blood will probably get pissy and file for takedowns.

>>9542698
>>9542704
Would these technically be the first genuine “Blood source ports” considering no one actually had access to the source, just what was reverse engineered?

>>9542678
Wake me up when Shadow Warrior is leaked. Or Serious Engine 3.5 goes open source.

>>9542678
DREAMS DO COME TRUE EVERYONE

>>9542678
This leak is still alpha, and six months before the 0.91 shareware demo (1997 Jan). It is still several months after the first source code leak (1996 Feb), and a lot of the struct/functions that are present in the final game are there. Feel free to compare here https://github.com/videogamepreservation/blood
>>9542704
BloodGDX references a lot of the 1996 Feb leak, so it may be something they down down the road for better accuracy.
>>9542707
>>9542712
>>9542715
NBlood will likely not take anything from this, perhaps some anon will fork NBlood do a chocolate variant source port.

>I want the fixer upper house with water damage and a rat infestation
There's so much to undo to make Blood 2 a good game that you may as well just start over.

>>9542808
Fixer upper? I hardly know her!

Are my maps too flat? I never seem to be able to make some doom-ish rooms with lots of elevations and since I'm making a megawad, i'm afraid that people will say the maps will feel same-ish.

>>9542820
That map in particular looks pretty flat.

From sourcecode analyzation, there are no hints of New weapons but i though i'd share what i found.
>The Armor piercing bullets were meant to be for the tommy gun.
>The shadowgun/EctoCooler(beta napalm launcher), used to have infinite ammo.
>The spear launcher (beta plasma rifle) was intended to have an explosive altfire.

>>9542820
The map looks fine. When you make a new map literally just start making an elevator without thought. Or a staircase. Just completely don't think about it and do it.

>>9542820
Looks maybe slightly flat, but that doesn't really have to be a bad thing, the issue if you've got a lot of maps in a set and they're all mostly very flat, then it can feel kinda weak.

>>9541031

How is it larping when it's Scott Miller? He has more right to say that than nu3DR.

>>9542678
Isnt it about time someone makes a modern level editor for build? Look at what Doombuilder and Trenchbroom have done for those communities

>>9542926
The problem is that, A, this requires the attention of sufficiently educated and dedicated programmers who know Build, and then, B, for the ones who do to get over that Mapster32 really is an antiquated piece of shit which is holding the community back.

You know one of the big reasons Doom's mapping got such a powerful second wind in the 2000s? Because Doom Builder became a thing, and Doom Builder was a MONUMENTAL evolution in map making software for the game, all the programs proceeding it where clunky and awkward pieces of shit which sucked to use, with Doom Builder being incredibly easy to use and convenient, that program is one of the most important things in this community. Build modding and mapping communities clinging to Mapster32 is like if the Doom community had refused to move past DeepSEA, that shit would have murdered our momentum.

Build mapping is inherently more complex than mapping for Doom or any derivative of it, so the barrier of entry will remain higher, but the tools do not need to be this horrible relic.

>>9542827
Flat Maps Matter

>>9542945
It's kind of an half and half
in build there is upper on lower texture, if you select a texture for the lower side, it would be applied by the higher side also.
also Build is heavily sprite based, You want a character to be there? put the specific sprite!
need an effect to happen on activation? Sprite!
want a sfx? Sprite.
there is no line action but there are sector actions however.
that being said it's possible but most of the build community is very much fine with using Mapster32.

>>9542991
>most of the build community is very much fine with using Mapster32
Thus it remains small.

>>9542993
The only way i can see somebody even trying to make a better editor would be to put a bloody bounty for it.
but then again, i too got used to mapster Bullshit, and it's surprisingly cozy once you get used to clunky controlls

>>9542678

>>9542891
Okay, maybe I should've said "lying about the nature of the company he's currently working with". He lost so-called rights when he let DNF happen the way it did which lead to Gearbox taking over the whole IP, sold at the time dormant Apogee brand to his friend and 3D Realms in the maintaince mode to a bunch of newbies.
Miller literally sold all that legacy he's now trying to so desperately leech off of. lmao

>>9542945
The next step for Doom Builder would be Cooperative Mapping, someone make that possible already, damn it.

>>9543036
Ironically Build 2 has that feature.

>>9539409
Don't know if this game is retro, but
>Dungeon Siege Source Code has Leaked

It may not be of much interest here, but alongside all of the other leaks have been various dumps related to both Half Life 1 and 2, including WIP texture sheets, a Rat Fink playermodel, NPC facemaps at original resolution, and the missing functionality for the Combine Guard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhVojI4JfQw

>>9542945
as a quakefag, after seeing what happened to the q1sp scene once trenchbroom blew up and youtube tutorials became widespread (not trying to diss sleepwalkr, tb itself is a great editor and it's what made bsp mapping finally click for me), i'm tempted to say that build not having a more accessible editor isn't actually a bad thing. popularity is kind of a bitch
the thief community is in a similar state due to dromed having an incredibly steep learning curve, but the games still get new fan missions semi-regularly and afaik a new editor is slowly being developed, so things might start changing in the next couple of years who am i kidding, there are like a dozen people on this board who care about thief
>>9542678

>>9539409
Replying to the news post

>>9543043
It’s from 2002 so it’s certainly retro, and despite not being a shooter it’s a good thing to know among all the other leaks.

>>9543117
I thought for a second one of the wall holes was a loss

>>9543053
I don't know. Half Life and Valve communities in general are infested with programmer sock trannies and are mired in a bunch of longstanding leak related drama with Tyler McVicker and whoever the fuck else and I can't be arsed to follow any of it, let alone figure out which specific big names are doing the leaking.

What I do know is that parts of it are being put up for download.
https://hl2-beta.ru/index.php?topic=29387.0

>>9543130
Not the anon, but thank you.
Fuck the Valve modding community.

>>9542885
Nope. Sorry, anon. Basically everything else (different editions, all expansions, console versions, basically all 90s tcs, even ion fury) work on eduke, but not lameduke. Probably the engine is so different that it's impossible to make it work with eduke.

Any Build autists in the thread today?
I'm trying to add the Eviternity / OTEX heaven resources to Blood / Mapedit but the palette is all fucked up in the editor and game. The ironic part is that the textures look fine with Dukes palette but I can't seem to force this in GDX or Nblood. Tried exporting the Duke palette from BAFED and overwriting the PALETTE.dat in my Blood directory but no luck.

Can you override Blood and Mapedits palette?

>>9543176
In game, looks appalling

>>9543176
Have you tried exporting as a color indexed BMP using Blood's color palette? The build art editor should allow you to export as a photoshop pal file, which can be applied to your image via Image>Mode>Indexed color in photoshop, then selecting custom palette and loading the palette file.

>>9543130
>"Half Life and Valve communities in general are infested with programmer sock trannies and are mired in a bunch of longstanding leak related drama with Tyler McVicker"
the irony of this is that drama solely stemmed from tyler's political views.

like the reason why TF2 has a bot problem was because some of the devs tyler had on payroll didn't like that he was pro-BLM and trans rights.

>>9543213
Not retro.

>Rat Fink playermodel

>>9543176

This shit is outdated as fuck.

>>9542808
Having the B2 source would allow for sniffing around its version of LithTech 1, and may allow for fixes that could be generalised to other games like Shogo or possibly even KPC. You may be able to work out why the engine shits itself when not using DX6.

>>9542997

>>9543246

I can dream about better mapster anon, everyone
can.

>>9543043
based, I hope you can shit everything with 16 companions

>>9543207
Good shit man, is there a way to do this in batch or do you have to change the indexed color for each texture manually? I was about to try it then Adobe decided to cuck me instead, shouldn't have launched it while online.

>>9542820
I suggest trying to break out of the "room to door to room to door and repeat" layout cycle.
Also the texturing is very ugly. It looks like you're trying to fit in as many colors as possible, which ends up blurring the level's theme. A lot of these textures don't fit together. Moss-filled gray bricks with bright startans, solid grays, wood, bright tech blues, planks and bright silver... this all doesn't really fit together. It's best to stick to a few select textures that will be mainly used throughout the whole level or particular sections of it, if wanted, transitioning between themes smoothly.
The layout looks very basic and flat indeed, and I can tell there's not much reason behind those enemy placements: two Arachnotrons in a small, tight corridor. Arachnotrons fit best in large rooms, due to their big size and continuous attack that covers a lot of ground, much like Mancubi.
There's a lot of unintuitive cannon fodder fights, such as zombiemen with pinkies, or a block formation of Imps, and a few lone shotgunners that will provide absolutely no challenge or incentive interesting movement from the player. There's a single Baron that the player will either encounter after activating a lift down or that is defending the top of the staircase, again, in a tight corridor, with enough space that a single Baron is probably just gonna serve as a boring meatshield.
Last but not least... I'm betting you're using CC4-tex? Drop that shit. Ugly texture pack imo. Those recolors of vanilla textures (such as the ugly brown/orange space door) are so... unnecessary.

>>9542991
The Build community has Stockholm Syndrome. They got used to bad tools and will never accept improvement to them.

>>9543292
Pardon my autism but I think it's also worth clarifying out that "filler" fights aren't inherently bad, but those set-ups are just very uninteresting, and perhaps overused, which is gonna be inevitable for a 30 year old game, but I think it's worth trying to break the patterns. I know I at least would rather have no enemies than enemies that don't really do much but waste time.

>>9543043
Awesome! Still would be neat to get an official re-release since Dungeon Siege should be in Embracer Group's hands now (right?).

>>9543043
Post a relevant link if you're submitting news.

>>9542704
Pretty sure it's usually more about "I don't want this project to be taken down because copyright laws" instead of "unlawful and should be ashamed".

>>9543265
Yes, if you know photoshop actions you can record the steps of indexing+applying color palette+save as BMP and then apply said action on every open image.
>>9542991
I thought blood modders move onto xmapedit?

>>9543207

I tried an existing gameplay mod and press saved and it gave me an error in the mod making it impossible to save.

>>9543612
went back to the 2015

it works better.

>>9543612
Actually the main reason is because it's either some files share the same naming schemes and slade now has set to not allow it anymore.

>>9543620
seriously?

honestly I never update my slade until my pc died.
thankfully there was another old version of slade somewhere in my storage bus.

now I can finally screw around with the ammo capacity in brutal doom again where i can increase the ammo from 9 to 16 rounds.

The cultist voice acting in this game is the sickest shit. It sounds like some pencil dick weenie but its the only sound in the game that instill any kind of fear because that same pencil dick weenie is a goddamn crackshot.

Flatness is overhated, there's nothing wrong with flat arena.

I just set up vkquake but I have a few questions.
I created an autoexec file in the id1 folder with the gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear line. Are there any hidden gotchas with vkquake specifically or is that it?
The quake download in the imgur link seems to have all the metadata for the soundtrack mixed up, but the actual filenames of the tracks are correct. What's up with that?
Any recommendations for the video options? Like is antialiasing recommended or is it somehow inauthentic? Also I noticed that the default option for textures is "smooth". Is this the same as the texture filtering that the autoexec command takes care of? Does it make the command redundant if I set textures to classic?

>>9543979
Thanks m8, I'll be sure to do that next time.

Had another anon on another board make some pretty bold claims about the design of all this, but he does have a point about how potentially overpowered these upgrades can be. I might need to replace the stun overload with something else too.

Besides this I've been really wishy washy on what to do with Blaz's fists. I've had enough people complain about them that I feel it's a problem in need of addressing. They currently do webm related with autofire, which is good but it might be TOO GOOD. You know? I don't know how in the fuck I made them autofire, but I did.
I might just make it a strong and fast two hit combo where Blaz throws a haymaker immediately followed up with the same stunning uppercut, and give it some radius thrust to push enemies back, along with stunning whatever gets hit directly.

quake 4's enemy roster and movement system (slow base speed but bhop remains so you can ramp up quickly + crouch slide) would be perfect for a wide open slaughter map/serious sam homage
shame it'll never happen

>>9545637
Do you have any Armageddon shield clips? Lest we forget.

>>9545459

>>9545606
Slow grinds through thousands of bullet sinks are what slaughterfags want, so what's the problem? If you want to make them more accessible for Quake players, just build them around rocket/quad spam.

>>9545729
Serious Sam homages don’t work well when you can outrun everything. Zerks in 4 work great when you’re slow or cramped.
>shame it’ll never happen
I think this is more due to a complete lack of interest. There’s probably more interest in Q2 mapping than Doom 3, let alone Q4, and I don’t think D3/Q4 mapping is as archaic as what you’d have to do for Duke3D.

>>9545750
I have the replays, but I'm not sure they'll be as entertaining.

lol

>>9545750

>>9545961
oops all archviles

Am I going to be able to get bots working in Quake 2 for linux or do I need to install it in Wine? In fact I'm finding mods in general are just broken in Yamagi.

>>9544879
Like I said before they were literally perfect in 1.4

>>9545989
What game is this?

>>9546181
Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, an (originally) Sonic-themed kart racing fangame that uses a heavily modified version of the Doom engine, we play it regularly on Wednesdays, the last Sunday of every month (last month notwithstanding), and occasionally whenever.
>>9543807

>>9545312
i mean is there raspberry style stuff that can run linux? a whole new pc would be overkill i already have one and it's not that cheap

>>9546219
You could get one of those office mini pcs to run Doom on.

>>9546284
seems like a good idea.
i found one with celeron, 8 gigs of ram and 246 gigs ssd for 150 bucks.
that could run any retro shooter i guess.
i was considering a "VCS" on discount last week but they didn't deliver to europe...

>>9545606
If you're generous with Quad Damage it can work out, SNG, SSG, especially the Rocket and Thunderbolt, they all haul ass when powered up.

>>9544994
I feel further reducing the power would cycle us back around to the current problem but possibly worse because then people would be just pounding away at enemies even longer. Knockback is something I'm considering though, I think I'm gonna try the fast two hit combo with the uppercut having a radiusthrust like it did in v1.4

>>9546174
There's some shit tacked onto the fists back then that I definitely do not want to bring back, like the damage ramp up in the combo, the weird AOE flinch but only for the second and third hits, and I think the fists could do as much damage as the sword from the ramp up.

>>9542706
THIS VERY MUCH.
Hopefuly...

>>9545835
the berzerkers have their bullshit lightning attack to force you into close range + a base non-strogg 160 unit movespeed is a good limiter if you place enemies well to not let you speed up too much in one direction

>>9545209
MSI MPG341QR 3440x1440@144 34" ips

Always wanted an ultrawide and 144fps ones are $500 and under now. It's a love or hate thing for most people and I goddamn love it, it's basically turned every game (boomer shooters included) into John Carpenter anamorphic aspect ratio. I wasn't going to talk about it unless asked.

Running GZDoom at 1.5 scale to get 5160x2160 resolution, and my 2070 super actually can't kick a resolution higher than that anyway. Also monitors legit that resolution are $1000 more than this one, fuck that.

Well after 1 year of working on a Megawad, this is my current status. * is WIP, X does not exist yet. Collaborating with others is out of the question, I've had nothing but flamboyant backstabbers so far.

>>9546436
Good like with that. I've uploaded 20-maps version because I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to complete it.

>>9546413
Let us know how it goes. You'd also have to balance around bunny hopping or mess with the game to find a way to stop it entirely so it doesn't help to trivialize encounters.

>>9546470
"balancing around bunnyhopping" implies spamming 50 bajillion of every unit and playing exclusively on the difficulty where half of everything instakills you — it doesn't need more than that beyond thought out enemy placements
removing the primary selling point is silly, the gradual ramp up of the slow-base speed bhop offers a nuanced dynamic to the combat loop, similarly to how you can go like 70mph in doom but can't change directions on a whim

>>9539409
It turns out, Qbism his hosting the most up to date quake 2 compiler

>>9546497
When can we expect some progress?

>>9546436
Keep in mind that, if you don't oppose a little bit of spotlight, you can call upon "Rentry anon" so that he'd put your work to OUR WADS page. Author's corner is a bit desolate at the moment, so fun additions are welcome, even at their development stage.

>>9546523
Oh believe me, I want all the spotlight, I'm a natural born attention whore, I just do not trust anybody and I'm very much aware that my mapping skillz will never be good enough to impress anyone.

>>9546470
I can't tell if this is Doom 3 BFG or Quake 4...

>>9546513
whenever someone who knows how idtech 4 works and incidentally has the same exact niche vision i do gets on it

i implore said individual to name it "quck 4: stroymale apocalypse"

>>9546540
so I sleep.
>>9546532

>>9542029
I did this too. thinking back, I wonder how many us bugged the guy over stupid shit like this.

>>9546531
Oh come on you disingenuous slob, is this what you meant by attention whoring? No one even suggested you to join some academy awards for this century old moldy video game designed for fossil people.

Well, you can have it your way, here's (you).

>>9546181
Adding on to what >>9546218 said, you can think of the game as MUGEN kart. We've added enough characters and maps to our servers to make Smash Bros. blush.

>>9546608
>MUGEN kart.
Don't actually say that to the devs though, they'll have a heart attack and actually die.

>>9546557
What's the top area? Bottom area's the air scrubber room from D3's waste refinery, I think.

Dean of Doom with his neverending Mucus Flow faggotry is the same as James Rolfe and the stupid park dragon. Guy is one step away from becoming a tranny, what an insufferable pretender.

>>9546604
(Not him) I've been in the Doom community long enough to know that the DW people treat the game like a religion and their favorite mappers like their Gods.

>>9546436
didn't you get the memo?
the definition of megawad is now at least 64 maps

>>9546848
kek'd. DoD is very entertaining but the guy seems greatly unself-aware. In some of his reviews, specially BTSX E2, he calls some of the authors "pretentious"... seems the word is in his vocabulary, so it makes me wonder how those levels are the ones that are pretentious, but something such as the Mucus Flow is actually genius and not pretentious at all.
No real complaints here though. I mostly agree with him, but would like to know his reasons.
Another thing that aggravates me is how furious he was at Gene Bird. It's just Doom levels brah, no need to wish death upon the guy.

Comparing it to MUGEN is bad, as it's known for extremely broken characters. There are just two stats per character in SRB2K.

>>9544376
No wonder you couldn't control it, you were using a character with maximum weight on your first time playing.

>>9547006
>Comparing it to MUGEN is bad, as it's known for extremely broken characters

>If you're generous with Quad Damage it can work out
Ok, now I could see it.

>>9548024
Yeah it's been wild in the last month.

>>9548025
It’s the only way for the strength of Quake’s arsenal to approach BFG power levels.

>>9548068
I think it's a workable solution for the base game, the Quad Damage is your BFG, you have 30 seconds but you're fast as fuck, hurry to find and kill as much as you can before it runs out.

>>9548096
Base game already does that on several occasions. In the context of matching “bfg spam slaughterfights” custom content, plenty of quad drops would be essential.

>>9548121
Yeah, that's what I mean, as you dial up the monsters, you dial up the powerups as needed.

>>9548208
oh ok

To add to what has already been said, I don't even know what goes into most of these wads and would prefer to leave any potential surprises for undefined later.
So, if you'd like to display your effort in the form of a big length single map or a collection of three smaller ones for example, plus have a basic sensibility of not putting any kinky jump scares inside (preferable), then you're good to go.
Like, I have no fucking idea who the fuck a2bob is or whoever, huge perverts all of them probably.

What's status of Serious Sam mapping project? I saw someone making a tutorial for it.

There is disinfo in news post. Project lead asked to apply for participation to FirstDatesvr@mail.com, as outlook.com didn't work out for him. Maybe we should change the link to https://postimg.cc/nsr8YLGy or make a new rules post? I wonder just how many people sent their mails to the wrong address so far.

why can't i run environmental variables from desktop files?

AH SHIT I'M LATE, BUT WE'RE STILL LIVE! Tonight we're playing THREE WAY CTF, and to keep things fresh, we also have SAMSARA this time, on top of functioning vrsounds!

I've gotten a grand total of zero interactions on the mail.com inbox. But I am leaning toward just postponing it until next year unless there has been a significant amount of people who sent something to the wrong address.

>>9547757
What engine in this case?

>>9548947
Also, 7 January is close, so it's worth claryfying that signup window extends for the whole month ahead as lead described here >>9540130. In this case my postimg link needs editing too.

i got this crash with NotBlood in French Meat e2m1.
every "behavior" setting was set to "NotBlood" except for weapons.
>a cultist on the second stair was throwing around dynamite bundles and entered infighting maybe as he shot and it crashed they were near a sliding door.
i don't really know what did what but that's what i recall.
i didn't do a clean install with the last two updates or so, so maybe it's the culprit...

did they censor the world tour version? or is it more "don't feed Pitchford"?

>>9542820
Flatness and unflatness are both useful depending hugely on all the other aspects of the design and what your intentions actually are. There's no point in trying to judge a map based solely on a single image anyway unless you're only concerned with aesthetics. Even if you can infer something about the level design from looks it will always be liable to misunderstanding. If you want meaningful feedback on a map you should post something playable, and if you don't have anything playable yet then there's not much feedback to give.
>>9548947
I think the entire idea of this project is unrealistic. Aside from alienating participants with a premise that's weird and logistically difficult you're also potentially cutting the maps per person in half by design. "Unrattled", which was released less than a month ago only got 11 maps despite being comparatively normal, I don't think we have enough active mappers here to accomplish even an episode wad given the circumstances. I certainly don't want it to fail but it seems like an uphill battle.
Looking back at the participation rates for the previous /vr/ projects reveals that the best attended ones (with at least 32 maps) are the units/minutes/lindefs of /vr/ series. This indicates to me that this board is mostly interested in making, vaguely, "simple maps for doom2". Any deviation from that formula is probably going to dissuade participation. Sometimes that could be desirable if it makes for a higher quality overall but I think you've reached a tipping point where the idea simply can't make anything.

>>9539408
none of the retro shooter packs linked contains a worldtour zip/grp ready to use with DukeGDX

can anyone share it somewhere?

>>9549116
Thanks for the report. I've come this crash before, and I believe it's caused by the gibs spawning in an invalid sector. Unfortunately this is actually bug carried over from DOS, and is pretty random at that. But considering I've had this happen to me recently on E2M1 I'll try to debug and fix it soonish.

>>9549220
>Unfortunately this is actually bug carried over from DOS, and is pretty random at that
interesting. i may have triggered it not long ago with too many simultaneous exploding zombies before they could deploy(still all in one place before they detect you), with this spawn trick in webm related
>But considering I've had this happen to me recently on E2M1 I'll try to debug and fix it soonish
well good luck and thank you anon.

>>9548619
The tutorial is essentially done and ready for anyone new to Serious Editor. Here it is again for those interested: https://rentry.org/vy4qr
As for the project itself I hope to start that sometime at the end of the month or early February, near the end of the First Dates of /vr/ project that's happening now.

>>9539409
Planning to release the next update of 94P, if not this weekend, then ideally soon after (knock on wood). It'll include the 'safety step' for easy difficulties on Recycling Complex, and a revamped Lucifer's Hammer.
Anything which will need a tweak which anyone else can think of?
