>DOOM THREAD

C'mon, it's time to move on. Just call it RETRO FPS THREAD.

You're not hardcore unless you best ROTT expansion

>>9626239
all of this outdated monikers are silly. at its heart, it's a Floigan general.

>removing Floigan on sight
bad move, jabroni. you'll regret this.

>>9626239
'DOOM THREAD' was always a cope. Everyone knows this is a WILLIAM SHATNER'S TEKWAR thread.

>>9626286
The game is actually quite interesting in it's ambition. The execution is complete broken garbage of course but had the ideas of the game been fully realized and competently implemented it could've been awesome. Imagine if it had been like Strife but with realistic digitized sprites and a cyberpunk futuristic semi-open world.

>>9626298
>The execution is complete broken garbage of course but had the ideas of the game been fully realized and competently implemented it could've been awesome
If Capstone had just a modicum of focus, instead of shitting out 2-4 games a year, they could've had some winners.
If they put all their eggs into TekWar, it might've been good. Might've.

>>9626368
>build fun, doom better
It's not wrong.

Hello from the Serious Editor. Look at all these lovely entities.
Those working on your map for A Serious Case of /vr/, how goes things?

>>9626392
Still playing through TSE for inspiration.

>>9622768
For Jarmo: I watched your replays. You have to learn to brakedrift and sliptide. You just have to hold accel to get the boost when respawning. You should try using heavier characters next time, like Duke Nukem or Doomguy. Read the beginner's guide and play alone in some vanilla maps if you haven't done that yet.

For Player: start drifting earlier. You get worse items if you stop the item roulette early. You should also try characters with stats other than 5 5 and Sonic's.

>>9626228
Machete is now on idgames.

this whole time i thought jc denton was voiced by the same guy that voiced cornfed

>>9625730
It's my own NBlood fork which has a bunch of enhancements that would be classified as 'not' Blood. It also has a vanilla mode toggle and can record DOS compatible demos.
>>9625745
FWIW it was google-able in 2021 but now it's buried under spam/tiktok results.

What was the deal with Romero and Rekkr?

I like that

What should I play while I wait for Golden Souls 3?

>>9626528
gs1 so you can see how far they've come

>>9626528
Have you played the remake of 1 and 2? They're both very good.
If you have, go play Pirate Doom

>>9626528
SiN

>>9626567
I'd love to see it remade and done properly. It doesn't get enough love but playing the original version today feels like shit

>>9626573
I'd love to see Episode 2 but it ain't happening either.

>>9626581
Unfortunately, no. Sort of gets completely forgotten nowadays even among retro FPS fans.

>>9626239
The genre was Doom Clones before FPS so it's fine.

>>9626228
Was doing some finalizing on my map's combat, and discovered that if a gremlin steals your held gun and then dies to shotgun incineration, you permanently lose it. It's consistent with other burning enemies not dropping backpacks when dying, so I'm hesitant to call it a bug, but it might be something you'd want to keep in mind in the event that losing a weapon causes a map to become unbeatable.

>>9626736
Was (somewhat) intentional for monsters to not drop ammo, but not for Gremlin stuff to be lost. Will fix.

>>9626581
>it ain't happening either.
What's the world come to?

>>9626225
>HD Pack

About that beer I owed ya...

Floigan.

>>9626863
EY FREEMAN

>>9626485
Nothing really. Romero threw minor shade at REKKR because REKKR beat him to the punch at dedicated deathmatch arenas.
But that was something that had been done like 20 years prior anyway so it doesn't matter. It's uncommon, but not wholly novel.
What is the earliest example though, I wonder...

https://vocaroo.com/15vCZ3O49pee

>>9627028
Momento Mori 2 maybe

>>9626392
Currently going through the tutorial, never made full 3D levels before but Serious Editor is turning out to be not as scary as I thought.

>>9626368
>/vr/ AI

>>9624251
Absolute fucking perfection.

is there a good dummy sector tutorial somewhere? I'm kind of dumb so I read one and did not understand shit. Or maybe someone can explain them to a retard such as myself?

>>9627241
You can select two sectors and press J and now it's the same sector in UDB. So if you need to have 2 sectors to be adjacent for any reason, but can't do it in the actual playable area you join a sector with a small sector outside the playable area, then draw another sector next to it.

>>9626286

TNT is actually harder than Plutonia on Nightmare or UV -fast cos of the hitscanners, innit?

>>9626368

>>9627157
Glad to hear, got any ideas for your map yet like which level theme you'll use?

I'm making a map for DBP57, is this going to "ruin" my "reputation" on Doomworld, i.e. the jannies over there are going to harass me like sniveling cunts because I associated with their enemy?

>>9627823
You should be fine. Le epic doomboard war seems to be cancelled.

>>9627823
No, I don't think anyone will give a fuck unless you make a map about nigger genocide or something like that and sign it with your username.

>>9627805
I was inspired by one of the areas with pools on the floor and on the ceiling with fancy gravity effects from one of the maps that were recently played in the coop sessions, so I want to make a map that's inspired by that and in a way by the backrooms pool meme too. But regardless the main focus is getting a map with some decent combat out, at least I have a bunch of fight scenarios ideas in my head already. I'll see if I can make the cool gravity stuff without making it too janky.

>>9627823
Didn't ruin Valkiriforce's, Thelokk's or Lunchlunch's or rep. Half of Doomworld participates in dbps anyway. The whole forum war was mostly 3 dw mods vs 3 db guys and even that calmed down after the whole Auger Zenith thing. Most didn't care.

>>9627823
Probably no, but probably you also not gonna get any cacowards for it just because it's DBP. So make it the best map ever so we could laugh at doomworld even more while they try to ignore it the best they could.

>>9627858
Good luck with the gravity markers, I'm still not sure how exactly they work but there is a tutorial somewhere in that big zip file under resources in the guide.

>>9627884
Auger Zenith did get a cacoward. The quality of the rest is not that high.

>>9627823
Depends on how lower you can get after being boomblasted because of some mere midtexture. No common player cares.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/123980
Only concern is not agreeing on compromise after exceeding DBP lead difficulty standards. You're free to retrieve the map before month ends though, in case anything happens.

>>9627940
I've never heard anyone say that my maps are too hard, so I should be okay I guess...

>>9628006
40oz tries his very best writing pretty useful long reads as feedback, when he is free anyway. Not many mappers follow them to a bit, and that's when you get reputation of a project with very inconsistent quality. In worst cases: too many overconfident rookie mappers, a bit too little playtesting.

Been playing Soldier of Fortune 1. I'm liking it for the most part but some of the later levels get tedious with how enemies spawn and it sucks that the shotgun is actually kind of garbage so it gets outclassed very early on.
Still worth a play, though.

>>9628084
Do the enemies get tougher later on? I’ve been in the first few hours so far and the shotgun’s been tearing through them on the hardest setting.

>>9626498
Anon said I should open team names up again so here.
Friendmod splits the race into two teams. These teams can have a variety of names. Let's make some team names.
>Cacodemon vs Pain Elemental
>Adrian Carmack vs John Carmack
>Apogee vs Id
>Dario Casali vs the Catholic Church
>Gif with a hard G vs Gif with a soft G
>MAP19: Dehydration vs IDCLEV
Doesn't necessarily have to be retro FPS related, just make it funny.

>>9628204
>Dario vs Milo
Btw it was Milo who was deemed demonspawn by the Church.
>REKKR vs SIGIL
>Doomworld vs Doomer Boards
>Graf Zahl vs lilith.pk3
>First Encounter vs Second Encounter

>>9628097
Some get armor but no, they generally don't get super tough. The game likes to spawn enemies directly behind you when you cross certain triggers in the level and if you're playing on any higher difficulty they get a couple free shots that if they land can shred your armor/health. There is also a notorious section in Siberia where the fog masks two snipers who can still see and shoot you but that is easy enough to run through.
The problem with the shotgun is the spread is so ridiculous that you can't rely on it at any distance and as the levels open up it is quickly outclassed by the smg and then the lmg that you get.

>>9628230
>>9628204
>Casalli's mom made the "Love is..." newspaper comics
Mildly interesting

>>9626528
Hocus Pocus Doom

Is there a way to light up enemies when they attack in FTEQW like Quakespasm?
I don't know what the style of lighting is called but in Quakespasm the whole model lights up. In FTE it's like a point light or something and it's all shaded.

>>9628230
I swear, if I ever get in the Doomworld team I'll just spectate, no exceptions.

Cool that the Axemen got a techbase skin but there seems to be an issue with them lacking a wakeup sound - also no idea if this wasn't reported before but the SSG being able to gib Zombies with the DoomedRumble mutator enabled feels like an oversight, and speaking of gibs - the axe being buffed makes Grunts too easy to overkill once they're injured by anything but the Nailgun, no idea if upping the 'GibHealth' value slightly for them (amd all enemies that now die to a single axe hit too maybe) is possible to alleviate this problem if its not hard-coded, a thing simmilar to this annoyed me to no end in AD where you needed to intentionally near-miss your shots with the Widowmaker in order to not give everything in your path that's weaker than Ogres

>>9627657
>Will you speedrun it?

>>9628204
>>Apogee vs Id
More like "3D Realms vs Apogee", if Scott's degeneracy on Twitter is anything to go by. Actual suggestions though:
>Sandy Petersen vs Tim Willits
>Wolfenstein 3D vs Ken's Labyrinth

>>9628362
I mean, both "teams" kinda do that if you think in terms of commoner forum visitors. It's all castles made of sand with self-appointed infantile dukes, just enjoy the game anon.

>>9626523

Don't forget this gem
No, it's not an intro to porn, just some "indie" movie

>>9627292
Short of MAP09: Stronghold, which is the toughest official map on Nightmare, due to the uninterrupted storm of back and forth lead (being long thought outright impossible, and it was the last official map to be beaten on that difficulty), I'm going to say no. Plutonia overall just plays harder ball overall, ambushes which are deadly already are made magnitudes harder on Nightmare in ways which TNT just can't match in the same way, and the combat is overall just far more intense.
Zombies with guns are a serious menace on Nightmare, but the insidious encounter design inherent to Plutonia just takes it to another level anyway when pumped up like that.

>>9627028
>>9627052
Both TNT Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment feature a dedicated deathmatch only arena in one of their levels. Eviluton's MAP26: Ballistyx, by Mark Snell (with some unclear work by Jim Lowell), features a crude DM arena in a space which is visible in singleplayer, but which you cannot access.

Plutonia's MAP30: Gateway To Hell, by Milo Casali, features a full fledged deathmatch arena completely separated from the singleplayer level, which isn't normally accessible or visible in single player. It seems like a bit of an afterthought though, like it's something Milo drew up while he had some free time and was bored (maybe they were waiting for one of Dario's maps to have its nodes drawn), as the texture alignment is slightly less refined in a couple of places, and there's one or two spots you can get stuck on.
There's probably earlier examples than these, because having a separate deathmatch area seems like a fairly simple conclusion to a single player map not being that great for deathmatch, but these are notable, official ones even.

>>9627292
I wouldn’t say it’s harder but I found it to have more obnoxious hitscanner placements, even with Onslaught placing one behind you.

>>9628274
Nice. Seconding this

>>9627372
>>9627496
I don't think we'll ever find a better subtitle for a sequel than this

Redead-ITA, do you have any plans refining Pyramid of Liquid Gold like SCT and ChrisMoyer did to some of their DBP maps? It looks half-finished.

who's wearing it better?

>>9628684
…can I say both?

>>9628457
Forgot about TNT and Plutonia.
I don't play a lot of deathmatch and when I do it's usually on a bespoke mapset.
Separate deathmatch arenas seems like a no brainer though, I agree. Kinda wish more wads did it. SP maps suck shit for deathmatch.

>>9628230
>>REKKR vs SIGIL

Anyone who still has QRP Dissolution textures?

bringing it up again, what if, AugZen, for HacX, good cyberpunk levels for a cyberpunk TC?

>>9628684
I generally prefer the demon, but I think I like Daina's top more.

>>9629370
Funny enough, Freedoom fits well to AugZen too, cus it has a more mutant/alien vibe than demonic which fits the aesthetic, Doom's demons just dont fit at all in AugZen

>>9629370
>>9629402
and another thing, I need more Duke3d maps that have a dirty space cyberpunk vibe, i remember there being this one neat map for eduke that had like a bar/club on some kind of space base but I can never find it, had cool music and a large open level with bar and club and hotel and a bit open courtyard using like moon texture...

>>9629401

I'm also working on a votable "hellmap" command that will randomly select a map from map hell, or maps from the normal rotation that belong in map hell like Tricky's Course.

I've been in a voice call with Lee Jackson, the musician who wrote the Duke 3D theme and worked on Shadow Warrior and Rise of the Triad among others.

His health has declined, and he's obviously in poor spirits about it, but is still a really nice guy who loves to talk to people. I haven't been on /vr/ in a while but came to post this, not really sure why, maybe hoping there's something that can be done to cheer the guy up or let him know the impact he's had. I dunno, maybe the right person is lurking.

>>9630595
I think banding together to do something cool for Lee Jackson would be great.

>>9630595
>>9630602
How about we do a "/vr/ performs Grabbag", where anons make a collaborative mix of Grabbag performed in different styles, and we send it to Jackson?

>>9630592
>I'm the boss of this dungeon

>>9630595
>His health has declined
Seen some tweets from him about that. It's terrible. Hope it gets better for old Jackson.

>>9630628

Voice call anon from before. He's really not in good shape. I don't want to jinx it by getting too dark but the more details he shares the more sad I get.

GOOD MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS. IT'S THAT TIME OF THE WEEK AGAIN! SCREENSHOT SATURDAY! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? MAPS, MODS, SPRITES? NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO POST THAT SHIT, OR LATER TODAY WHEN IT'S NOT SO FUCKING EARLY, I'M NOT YOUR DAD.

Am I the only one who's able to be convinced that Virus is unoficially a Quake2 movie prequel?

>>9630871
They could work as really early cyborg prototypes, like System Shock's Shodan initially discovering what she can cobble together. With Q2 they seem more militaristic, refined, and purposeful.

>>9630827
I made a very simple weapon mod to give the pistol & plasma gun more relevance compared to their counterparts.
The pistol deals 3x damage on the first shot, and the plasma gun heats up with sustained fire and deals 3.6x damage and splash damage with its red projectiles.

>>9630980

>>9630980
>plasma gets more powerful as it heats up and approaches overload
hmm, okay
>pistol does more damage on the first shot
inexplicable and dumb

>>9631004
My explanation is that you're getting a critical hit or headshot with the first shot, because it's always perfectly accurate. Rather than just holding the trigger down and letting random bullets spray.

>>9631012
still inexplicable and dumb but it's your mod. IMO i'd rather each hit be x2 as strong as chaingun and make chaingun fire 25% faster

>>9631012
Hm, alright
Do you plan on doing anything for the other weapons? I love seeing stuff like this.

>>9631019
Probably not. I like how the rest of Doom's weapons are as-is. Maybe a slightly faster chainsaw attack for more consistent stunlocking, but everything else is perfect desu.
My next task is to change a couple of the monsters. Make Barons throw 2 projectiles like Ad Mortem's Satyr, make monsters never retaliate against the Mastermind, and leave projectile aiming unchanged when the player is invisible.

>>9630571
>No mouselook
does this mean vertical mouselook or just any use of the mouse
I'm too used to later FPS games to not use the mouse to pan around my POV, but I don't use vertical mouselook.

>>9630638
>I don't want to jinx it by getting too dark but the more details he shares the more sad I get.
I can imagine. Either way, it's best to just hope for the best and show some proper support to the man. That's just the bare minimum.

>>9631043
Even Romero used horizontal mouselook when showing Doom at 90s, so it's more than ok to use it.

has anyone used fimg to edit quake sprites before? trying to make this transparent

nevermind, got it working.. kinda.
have to edit the sprites one by one and create an alpha channel

>>9630827
I'm still working on my map for A Serious Case Of /vr/. Right now I've been setting up entities for this one fight, most of the brushwork for this room already is done.

>>9626225
What mod is this from ?

>>9631543
No mod? It's just Half-Life.

Tech Tangents just released a video on triple-monitor Doom. He uses Doom 1.1 in DOS, not source ports. He actually got four monitors, one for automap but it doesn't automatically update like it does in modern source ports so it doesn't work as he wanted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3NQQ7bPf6U

The actual meat starts from around 30:00, before that he inspects the hardware (Pentium 4 machines) and installs DOS+network drivers.

>>9631012
>My explanation is that you're getting a critical hit or headshot with the first shot
It's a first person shooter, not an RPG you tard.

>>9631735
Interesting. It's like super awareness but I do that with spider sense.

>>9630980
Just so you know big horns is immune to splash damage

>>9631779

Thoughts on GMDX 10.0?
I understand there's some bad blood around because some literal who's came and sort of took over the mod but I am curious as to the actual content of the mod itself. From what I understand it's a scaled down GMDX 9.0 to be closer to OG

>>9630827
Rough sketches while I try to decide who comes Karting next.
I can't stop laughing at the juxtaposition of the latter two.

>>9631902
Haven't tried 10.0, but I've always liked the RSD 'beta': https://www.moddb.com/mods/gmdx/addons/version-rsd-beta-10-future-official-update
Pretty decent improvements and bugfixes there.

>>9628381
>there seems to be an issue with them lacking a wakeup sound
Ah, you're right. I'll get that fixed.
>the axe being buffed makes Grunts too easy to overkill once they're injured by anything but the Nailgun
I think I'll just make a secondary attack that animates faster but does original axe damage. Should solve the problem while making the axe a little more versatile.

How is episode 2 of Dwell?

>>9632384
Overdesigned, underfun.

>>9632389

>>9632342
The Gdrive Link is giving "you dont have access to these files"

>>9626567
I was gonna play that (like 3 years ago) but heard there was some remaster going to come out. I'm guessing any day now.

>>9632468
That remaster is seemingly never happening, and the 'enhanced' textures they showed off for it looked like shit anyway.
The game (at least the "Gold" version) works fine if you don't mind the HUD not scaling to modern resolutions. Even then, you can just run the game in windowed mode at a lower resolution and use something like Lossless Scaling to fit it to your screen.

>>9632485
If i were to guess it, Kaiser and Nightdive said fuck it to the other projects to finish System Shock.

Had a long break from Quake, but since one of the things I waited for finally came out (Dwell 2, Tremor never ever), I'm thinking of diving in again.
Question is, which version of the base game (id1 folder) should you use - Original or Remastered? I'm leaning towards the latter, though not sure if it could break some mods.

>>9632508
I think Remastered could break mods, which is why i recently got unto VKQuake for being a continuation of Quakespasm

Did ID playtest DOOM/DOOM II on Nightmare?

>>9632390
>sheep and his friends
Tell me more.

>>9632572
No, it was added as a joke in one of the updates and they didn't really expect people to play it much.

>>9632592
Which is funny because its the best way to play because time becomes a resource.

>>9632217
Project started last weekend. Also, I know this post was just deleted.

Does anyone remember an image showing different methods of floor variation in an FPS game?
Like one example had stairs, the other had floors higher than others, then one had ramps etc.

>>9630595
I remember I talked to him a while back because I was looking for help for a MIDI thing, and I couldn't find any no matter what, so talking to him was kind of my last resort. I was ready to pay him or a friend some money for the thing, even, but I managed to get help from a friend out of nowhere.

He mentioned some surgery he had to get which would preclude him from doing much work with a computer for a time, I hope he didn't get sick with something.

Serious Business Saturday is still planned to happen in about 30 minutes (5pm US Central as always). We'll continue going through the levels that are part of this pack: https://jesterofdestiny.itch.io/jesterofdestinys-old-maps-pack which is the Abandoned Empire and The Leviathan's Prison levels. There's also the set called Valley Rumble which we might do afterwards, but I played some of it already and it's kind of long but not in a good way. We'll see.

Also if you don't know the Serious Sam mapping project "A Serious Case Of /vr/" just started. Anyone can join if they got the guts to delve into SED. Check the news post for rules and a link to the beginners guide.

>>9632597
I guess I missed that. I wanted to make either a Kart track or a Sam map, so this might sway my choice.
I will probably end up doing neither.

>>9630827
Been working on this since Thursday.

>>9632404
So i found the bastard hidden in another mod for quake hd
i forgot how both pk3's were but the guy merged both, i will separate both as textures and normalmap addon as it was originally released and then upload the 7z of both pk3's remade on Pakscape.

this is modding history that needs to be archived and preserved

Pretty much. Although you can image that's how Freeman was ambushed, even if scientist being there doesn't make much sense.
>>9633260
Honestly, their nostalgia LARPing (or whatever would be the right term) is getting really obnoxious. And I usually like this kind of trivia even for IPs I don't care about (which includes Duke).

I'm a zoomer playing quake for the first time

which of my weapons is supposed to be good? the shotgun does no damage and the rocket launcher is literally unusable in most rooms since the self-damage blast radius is enormous and extremely painful

I like the speed and level designs but the enemies and placements are insanely annoying, the fuckers that just spam grenades are so tedious

>>9633794
Treat the normal shotty like a pistol, the double barrel like a normal shotgun. The normal shotgun can be useful for plinking at longer ranges, double barrel is best in tighter quarters. Grenades and rockets are going to be your main damage dealers. Nailguns are good for those floating bastards or Shamblers seeing as they're resistant to explosives. Though I'm not sure if the raw damage of direct hit rockets would be better than Nailgun fire.

do you guys *like* playing vanilla doom wads?

>>9633869
Base Doom 1 and 2 are garbage but the mapmaking community is pure ass obsessed over boring slaughtershit so the alternative isn't any better. I just play superior games like Blood and Shadow Warrior instead.

>>9633869
I dislike Doom 1 wads with vanilla conventions of level design: all those labyrinthine layouts, cramped hallways and switches which do nothing at the first glance.

>>9633570
>pic
wow, got the full sprite sheet? Looks crisp
>what's the spookiest doom wad in your humble opinion?
Ad Mortem is quite spooky at times, and very enjoyable most of it

>>9633932
are the custom maps any better there?

>>9633967
i was more referring to limiting yourself to vanilla constraints.

>>9634061
Those constraints are only interesting as challenge. A level under those constraints can be good.

>>9634059
Blood doesn't have as much custom stuff as Doom, but most of what's out there is really good. Shadow Warrior has even less stuff and I think the mapmaking scene is practically nonexistent, but I found a list of mods https://shadowwarrior.fandom.com/wiki/Mods.. I played a few of those and what I played seemed to be decent, namely Showdown In Suzhou and Lo Wang in Time.

>>9634067
i'd argue that those constraints are necessary, especially since modern gzdoom maps aren't good imo.

>>9634059
For Doom 1 and 2, or for Blood and Shadow Warrior?
People are still making plenty of maps with Doom 2 in mind, sometimes someone wants to work with Doom 1 constraints. Some people still make Blood maps, while next to no one cares enough about SW to make maps for it.

>>9634076
Boom is better for maps that feel like Doom but more flexible.

>spoiler
Just what’s on the Blood moddb. There’s a Gzdoom mod called Bloom that’s some Doom and Blood crossover mod but I’ve never tried it. I’ve heard good and bad things about it.

>>9634101
yeah, i've seen that. i was more referring to a mappack for blood, not doom.

>>9626228
i've got a question about violent rumble 2, do i need to use progs dump 2 if i wanted to make the map?

>>9633869
i actually tend to prefer vanilla stuff like Alien Vendetta, DTWID and Memento Mori
i don't like mods and i don't like slaughter maps outside of coop

>>9632096
A suggestion regarding making the Gauntlet stand out a bit more - is it possible to make corpses get gibbed by it - and if not, is it possible to have it always gib the enemies killed by it?
Yes I am thinking of an anti-Gremlin functionality for no other reason but learning the hard way how unstable those fuckers are
>Random barley related tangent - I have already noticed how there's some wierd semi-random chance for them to auto-gib if their "rolling while mid-air" fails to play completely in some cramped / non-flat areas ever since I had downloaded Death's Dominion a big while back - was this anomaly ever an intended feature of the Gremlin entities coding?
Fun fact - reloading a savegame after a Gremlin got killed recently often makes it's corpse play the elaborate dying animation again

>>9634138
I actually like Copper for bothering to make RoS into something actually useful

>>9634125
how did you know?

>>9633869
Yes! Doom The Way id Did series and Doom Zero are one of my favorites. Most recently Hell On Earth Shareware, which was very fun for me. Now waiting Hell For Leather, Earthless and TNT Convilution for more vanilla goodness. I do love slaughter maps and modern maps too.

>>9633932
Third of new non-gzdoom wads are vanilla, third are full on slaughter and third something in between (the plutonia/skillsaw influenced stuff). Last year didn't have even that much slaughter wads. Occula, Capybara, Overboard and that's all of it I can think of.

>>9634115
That's something I noticed as I was playtesting my map, as I've got gremlins set to spawn in and fight the player in a low-clearance area with other enemy types. Their corpses were blocking gunfire as if they were still alive, and after a second or two they'd explode. I thought it was something I did that messed them up, but it's reassuring to know it's not just me.

>>9634225
I've read nothing but contemptuous shitposts about this tard for almost 3 years now both here and /V/ - but after witnessing the comments/forum post purge at Quaddicted he's responsible for, I am now willing to believe that it isn't just someone malding of getting a permaban and FW really is an utter bitch to deal with personally - damn shame though, egotism is never good for anyone (especially when remotely warranted)

>>9634365
Spoke a bit too soon @>>9634125
It's a bit meh if you had seen everything that was made for Q1 over the years probably - but all I find lacking about it ATM is that nobody during development had an idea to 'borrow' the Hexen2 Scorpions or the Anubis Mummy for semi-original content for a mapset themed after ancient Egypt

>>9634385
it was posted, look in the archive

>>9634115
>is it possible to make corpses get gibbed by it
Yes, just annoying because I'd have to go through every monster and set up gibbing as its own function, rather than being an if/else on death.
>and if not, is it possible to have it always gib the enemies killed by it?
They already do... or should, at least.
>I have already noticed how there's some wierd semi-random chance for them to auto-gib if their "rolling while mid-air" fails to play completely in some cramped / non-flat areas ever since I had downloaded Death's Dominion a big while back - was this anomaly ever an intended feature of the Gremlin entities coding?
It happens in SoA, so I figured it was intentional and never looked into it... Not that I need an excuse to avoid the hellpit that is hipgrem.qc.

>>9634483
>to 'borrow' the Hexen2 Scorpions
Aren't there nailgun scorpions in one of the quake mission packs anyway?

>>9634353
Yey

>>9633869
Those can be fun, yeah, it's all about the level design, but MBF21 and UDMF obviously allow you to do a lot of new and different things with the game. I also love playing with mods.

>>9631735

Some things aren't worth maintaining. I don't think i knew anyone with even a dual monitor set up until like 2003.
Scratch that, I knew one, but I never saw it. He was a programmer and it was at his office.
I remember seeing three monitor setups in magazines, but it was almost always for flight sims.
Until lcds got bigger.

>>9634150
Don't the unreal/UT99 repositories let you download the whole thing as a zip. Just do that. Done.

>>9634079
I was having this thought the other day, too many boom/vanilla compatible Doom maps these days, they all start to get stale, but not enough people make zdoom maps with fun effects or scripting unless its some big TC project, and not enough people work with Build games cus the mapping is rough as shit, and even THEN all the Duke maps i find are just the same old city maps or space maps or canyon maps... I want some variety, some thematic stuff

>>9627914
actually, it won runner up and didn't allow any more dbp to be part of the cacowards.

>>9634774
I wouldn't say mapping for Build is "rough". Especially for its time, it was as WYSIWYG as it could get. (And whoever says otherwise clearly has no idea how Doom's mapping tools used to be before Doom Builder came about...)

Ironwail is adding a load of bloat :/

>>9634775
Wrong and wrong:

There are no more runner-ups. There are now 3 categories since 2021: gold cacoward, silver cacoward and honorable mentions. Auger Zenith received silver, and it's not in bad company at all. Even 2021 honorable mentions had very high quality wads.

Dbps are still allowed at cacowards. There was heated discussion at dw on summer 2021 that should the dbps be allowed at cacowards and it was decided that they are, since most of the community and even most of writers didn't want them banned. 2 of 3 writers that were most against it, have quit doing cacowards. 2022 didn't have dbps on cacowards, because 2022 dbps have been very mediocre. Even more mediocre than Wormwood 4 that neither even received honorable mention. Surely they have good themes, but the maps aside oz's maps have been amateurish and unfun. Surely they might feel like amazing wads, if you contributed on them, but you have to see them objectivily. Of course dbps can achieve or even go past Auger Zenith level of quality, but I wouldn't expect it to happen every year and certainly not every month.

Don't spread lies on the internets.

>>9634968

>>9630827
Finished my space base map, don't think I'm going to make a map like this again without doing some more learning.
Selling the "floating in space" effect with a sky textured floor made things a pain and having the vacuum be a damaging sector isn't enough imo.

Would still appreciate if anons could give it a play and some feedback

>>9634989

I agree with most of what you said though

It was very controversial for the Ironwail devs to add a random Blood enemy to Quake

I'd have liked to agree with most of what you said though

Are the new doom games as bad as /v/ says?

>>9635227
2016 was good, my PC isn't good enough to play Eternal, but it seems about the same.

>>9635227
They’re decent modern shooters and pretty, good value when they’re grabbed for less than twenty bucks.

>>9635227
They're excellent games, just keep an open mind and don't expect a 1:1 Classic Doom experience; enjoy them as their own thing.

>>9635318
>How are you teleporting monsters in so fast? I can never get them to behave how I want
I don't know how ad mortem does it, but monsters teleport when their midpoint crosses the line, so you can draw the teleport line through them, as long as there's less than half of their size space behind it. Or you can scroll them into teleport, naturally.

>>9634989
>because 2022 dbps have been very mediocre
>Surely they have good themes, but the maps aside oz's maps have been amateurish and unfun
Way to invalidate all hard work done by more than a two dozens of people instead of acknowledging that they don't fit your pleases, that's 140 maps with no cosmetic polish alone. Don't spread your biases on the internets.

>>9635887
The three id artists doing each pixel by hand for everything in the game when other companies were content with compressing stock photos or larger illustrations was probably very time consuming, but it holds up today. What's your workflow like?

>>9635925
>What's your workflow like?
Nothing fancy. I just kinda make outlines of different sections over the UV map and try to layer some materials over it until it looks sufficiently 'textured'. Then I'll manually add any needed highlights and shadows... which tends to take me a while on characters or anything else that's organic.
I also have a baked ambient occlusion map that I layer over everything, but on this low-poly of a model that doesn't account for much.

My mistake. Silvers are getting bigger descriptions and are featured on main pages with golds (instead of just being on the sidebar) unlike the runner-ups before 2021, so they are now almost indistinguishable from golds.

>>9635208
Sorry, I have no idea who that is. I'm not posting that often. I'm just anon. Last comment was supposed to be humorous, but it didn't translate that well. Don't take me too seriously. I love you all anons.

>>9635337
Some of the cacoward winning wads have been developed for five years and dbps are developed in less than month. I'm not saying that the dbp mappers couldn't do good maps. Of course they can. Howerer dbps are mainly speed map projects and thus the junk food of wads. I do appreciate that they do come monthly though and I do always play each one, also more wads is always better. Auger Zenith will always be one of my favorite wads, but I think we can all agree that no dbp after it has even come close of it's quality, and sadly not even quality of most sets before Auger Zenith. I don't want dbps to stop, but at recent years when we are having more than 50 new wads a year that have at least same or higher quality than dbp usually, i wouldn't get angry about most of them not getting an award, while many other sets don't get award either. It's tough competition, but I'm glad that Doomer Boards has it's own awards too.

Just ask Duke Nukem.

What went wrong?

>>9636210
Never liked the first part either. Supplice and Age Of Hell demos have been first gzdoom standalone games, that I enjoyed as much as Doom wads. But they both started as Doom wads, so there's that.

Does anyone here know how to properly operate md3 for gzdoom using decorate and not zscript?
Surely theres got to be a basic tutorial out there to help understand the process.

Besides Supercharge, MetaDoom and recently Doom Delta, what other gameplay mods have mapping tools?

Did anyone ever find the FLAC Strife soundtrack? I can only find the reference in the chocolate-doom repository for the old music pack logic

I really should not be participating on this site but I get alerts by mail sometimes:

What comments/forum posts purge is supposed to have happened? I might forget things but the only big issue which I remember and which could possibly be referenced here is some user posting anti-gay slurs and me accidentally deleting them with a SQL DELETE FROM without proper WHERE clause because why not. That had nothing to do with any other user and was in no way related to the user talked about here. -Spirit (from quaddicted.com)

Send me a mail if you want a reply, I won't be looking for replies here because no idea how that even works.

Wait, what?

>>9637220
What >>9637261 said. Has "You spin me round" as a Midi. That map and 15 are both by our boy and are killer. I would suggest playing the Future episode of TT.

Is Hexen II fine vanilla or is there a recommended source port to use? PCGamingWiki says Hammer of Thyrion but there's also Ultimate Quake Engine.

Hammer of Thyrion, also pair with reshade.

The animation is cycling so fast that it reaches the frame before the last one you saw. That's what it looks like is happening to me anyway. Could be wrong I don't even know if that effect is an animation, but I think that something like what I described is happening. I imagine limiting the fps somehow would fix that issue.

I've seen it all now.

Redneck Rampage and Dosbox don't like multiple monitor, what do?

>>9632384
Just got to the final level. Won't be finishing the thing today though, D2M7 bored me to sleep. Probably the worst level of the bunch. It looks grand, but such huge scale works in Serious Sam, not Quake.
Speaking of Sam, I was pleasantly surprised with how well kamikazes actually work here in Dwell. Thanks to increased speed and somewhat cramped areas, I guess.
Overall I liked Ep.1 more. It had a clear vision of somewhat normal aesthetic (Egypt) slowly 'dwelling' into meat-flavored madness. Thought Ep.2 would go the similar route (and D2M6 gave me such hope, really nice level), but last two levels don't look that crazy.

I'm playing Heretic and E3M8 is pissing me off in so many ways.
I'm starting to regret never getting gud at Touhou.

>>9638160
Episodes 4 and 5 will crush your balls, it's like Plutonia to the original Doom 2 campaign except probably even harder.

>>9638182
Heretic is already harder than Doom 2 so that's not really surprising.
It probably does not help that I'm playing on Black plague possesses thee and wand-starting all levels

>>9637996
https://redneck-rampage.fandom.com/wiki/Source_ports

How do I force myself to finish Heretic? Most levels are really meh, almost every weapon feels like shit, music is boring, only enemies are good.

>>9638274
If you stop now, your pride as a man will be gone.

>>9638274
Mod the heretic enemies into doom and play like that.

>>9638274
Play with Wayfarer's Tome

>>9638274
Use Samsara to play through it as Doomguy.

Also makes sure you are actively using tomes of power, boosts your weapons and you can only carry one with you at the end of the level anyways.
>>9638314
I’m fine playing Heretic as Angry Elf, but I’m have a hard to playing Hexen these days as anyone but the Drifter.

>>9638331
>have a hard to
*having a hard time, jesus

>>9638274
Years ago I was going to make Babel compatible with Heretic but I never did it. Maybe one day I'll make a similar mod that's standalone, because I tend to agree with you, it's a bit boring when compared to other retro shooters.

>secrets that you cant even see the triggers for without cheating are FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Buddies released a short mapset the other day. High quality vanilla stuff, check it out.

Is there any reason to switch to any other source port?

>Is there any reason to switch to any other source port?
Yeah, when the chicken deepfries the system requirements for you lmao

>>9638626
Not sure what you mean

>>9638621
Vanilla gameplay on from mbf21 and downards is unironically a lot more enjoyale than gzdoom will ever be, and it can run incredibly fuckhuge maps!

>>9638621
Not really, unless your performance tanks pretty bad on certain levels. GZDoom's notoriously spaghetti-coded.

>>9638639
I have a 2011 mid range PC (last game it could run was doom eternal) and I never had any performance problems with gzdoom

>>9638621
>Is there any reason to switch to any other source port?
Not really. Although you might want to keep older versions of GZDoom in case a newer version breaks a mod you like.

>>9638643
>mid range
>2011
>could run Eternal

>>9626298
We have that already. It's called Cybermage: Darklight Awakening. Also HACX but it has no RPG elements sadly. Neither use digitized actor sprites though, that does have potential if done right.

>>9638551
>use key bullshit

That's the very reason I will never touch the IdTech1 games and honsetly don't feel the need to after playing them on the GBA almost 20 years ago

>>9638715
by the way, wasn't the gba port of wolf 3d more accurate minus the music being cut?

>>9638725
I wouldn't vouch anything for this but I'm pretty sure that it ran on the Doom1 ports engine instead (itself being a copypaste of the Jaguar's port hence no music ingame - but at least it had tunes on the menu screens)

>>9638784
Still my favorite mod for HL1

I switched from gzdoom to woof for number of reasons
>accurate looking lower res widescreen without weirdly stretched random pixels
>much better performance
>no bugs on mbf21
>demo compability
Can't go back to gzdoom no more (except for few gzdoom level packs like elementalism or golden souls).

Lol

>>9631925
Should be an uphill battle from here, the back sprites are much less detailed.

>>9631925
I worded that last post very poorly and I'm ashamed of myself for it.
Here's those sprites again though.

>>9636440
Nice.

>>9638508
These screenshots remind me of REKKR for some reason.
>>9638725
>minus the music being cut?
I thought the music was in game files, but just not used.

>>9638631
There's no guarantee that GZDoom's main dev won't force, let's say, hardware raytracing down our throat one fine day.

>>9634814
the hardest part about mapping in build is how precise you need to be, there's no automatic vertex indentation, so you cant just cross lines willy nilly.

trying to build room over room stuff is also the worst, since you have to fuck around with it so much.

>>9640124
>you cant just cross lines willy nilly
You can cross lines of a sector, as long as they don't occupy the same vertical space as the crossed sector. ("Sector-over-sector" effect, something the Doom engine cannot do)

>trying to build room over room stuff is also the worst
Mapster's TRoR mechanism is quite easy once you get the hang of it. And also, most Doom source ports don't even support RoR.

>>9640152
maybe, but the thing is is that you still need to be precise.

if you wanted to build a bridge to a new sector, you need to draw the whole sector, whilst in doom you can finish it in only three lines.

i get that this is the side effect of a portal based renderer, but it is still tedious.

>mapsters tror is quite easy once you get the hang of it
easier said than done desu.

>>9638631
graf is kinda like the GNOME devs, although i don't know if any of them threw a fit when another more antiquated OS won a prize.

>>9640157
>>mapsters tror is quite easy once you get the hang of it
That's the thing about Build. The amount of time and effort required to get the hang of it just isn't worth it when you can probably do the same thing in ZDoom in a fraction of the time.

>>9637909

>>9640161
Graf is nowhere near as bad as GNOME devs are. He wouldn't be taking over eighteen years and bitching for just as long just to add basic functionality that was present for years in other systems and their desktop environments.

>>9640437
he's still a little bitch
