First for playing doom on PowerPC

>>9665936
I got an iMac and I have yet to put Doom on it...

>>9665983
Just found out about Doom Legacy and got it to work under OS 8.6. Night and day difference over the original port version.

>>9665983
Put Marathon on it like a real Mac gamer.

have there been any new updates in the field of linux map editors?

i fucking hate eureka

what was the name of that vaporwave map from wnw yesterday?

>quake
more like crap lmao

>Chrome axed all of my 70 background tabs after forcibly updating
It's over...

SHE SAID IT! She said the title!

VIOLENT RUMBLE UPDATE:

UREKKING (rekkre1m1.bsp) is up for testing.
Some notes:
>Rekkr Guy model animations are still very WIP and he doesn't have projectile or gibbed head models yet
>Nightmare might be a little excessive, let me know about balance
>rekkr.wad is available for use, but it doesn't extend far beyond the scope of the map
>N-Rune 5 is now on this map and will be removed from Shub's Wager
>make sure to download the custom skybox in gfx/env
>bare-minimum and untested co-op support

Other updates:
>laser rifle primary damage is buffed, charged shots have knockback, and the projectile now uses the FLY_MISSILE movetype - giving it a bigger hitbox vs monsters
>laser rifle secondary has damage per projectile and ammo consumption halved
>fire shells flames *should* no longer frequently fly through walls, and the max number of flames on a monster is now capped to 10
>biosuit now protects against flames
>lava nailguns now slow down when overheating instead of just stopping and have models indicating heat buildup (might be too subtle, might change later)
>fixed several Gremlin-related issues (and probably created a dozen more)
>axe now has a secondary attack that is slightly faster, but does vanilla Quake axe damage (for not overkilling weak enemies)
>enemies directly hit by a powered Mjolnir have lightning shoot out of them instead of just the floor under them (great combined with the knockback)
>bandolier and time dilation device models updated
>fixed most of the bugs reported over the last couple weeks

As always, make sure to sort by upload date on the Mega so you're just getting the new stuff and don't have to redownload everything. Yell at me if shit is broken.

>>9666590
Also, how is everyone's maps coming along? The extended map submission deadline is in 12 days.
I know there aren't as many people as last year, and I haven't been hyping things up as I should be, but I haven't seen much in the way of progress updates.

i knew it

>>9666640
big if tru

>>9666590
Oh, a few things I forgot to mention:
>monsters now have a 'burn' field that applies burning for the given duration on damage (applied to monster_preset_hellscrag by default)
>trigger_push_custom has some extra options in spawnflags (bounds check is still just vertical)
>func_monster_spawner has some new settings and can now spawn to multiple points at once (only counts as one spawn)
>using impulse 69 will restart the current level using any alternate spawn points and entity spawns (same as entering it via start2, doing so in rekkre1m1 will go straight to the secret ending with a few extra items)

>he doesn't like techbases

>>9666717
>when you are enjoying techbase levels and the wad transitions to vastly inferior hellscape/urban levels

>>9666629
>Also, how is everyone's maps coming along
I attempted to make something as my very first quake map, but only got as far as a couple of rooms.

>>9666717
More wads should break up the typical progression of starting with techbases and ending in Hell.

>>9666771
Beta 64 never got finished but it went techbase-hell-hellbase and I loved it

This latest PB3 build is looking pretty cool

What do you all think?

>>9666898
you know what I always wanted? A central hub like Carrington Institute but NPC's reacting to the way you finish missions as you advance in the game.

>>9666909
Looks fun, hopefully you can turn off the voxel weapon drops though.

>>9666909
The camera shake is genuinely nauseating.

>>9666869
sounds too "twitter speak-y", if you ask me
>>9666958
it's something about these kinds of mods that focus too much on "satisfaction" they end up exaggerating some things
maybe the reason why doom fans had a disdain against call of duty is because it even had an impact on some popular mods

>>9666909
Trash.

>>9666590
Guy looks nice.
>>9666629
Gremlins look ominous.

>>9666909
Hideous Destructor is better.

>>9667009

>>9665936
dreamcast doom

I've been taking a break from Doom and the other old shooters for a couple months now. I'm going to wait longer yet but I am already excited. I hope some cool stuff was released while I was/am away.

>>9666565
Assuming you didn't know and haven't already tried this. You can press ctrl+shift+T to open closed tabs. If you close the whole window it will bring back every tab that was open on that window. (I've never tried it after an update so maybe it doesn't work.)

I don't know how many tab closes it keeps track of, so there's a chance this might be too little too late anyway. Probably still in your history, though opening them all again would be a pain in the ass.

>>9666898
I always wished that more FPS games used the objectives style of level design that Goldeneye and Perfect Dark had. Those games are too antiquated for me to enjoy anymore (I know you can play with kb+m, but it doesn't feel great IMO, havent tried since you could first do that though so might be better now), but there's a lot they did right. And I think that objective idea is a great evolution of 90s FPS design with a hell of a lot of room for expansion and improvement. Makes it so you can have open levels and there can be a narrative reason to press switches and get keys beyond just getting to the exit. Could also change the story based on whether you do certain optional or secret objectives, allowing for branching paths without allowing the hero of the game to be evil while still saving the world for some reason.

If I ever get round to making an FPS, that would be something I would aim for.

>>9667002
I’m not sure it’s from the Duty games, moreso with people getting wrapped up in the spectacle of a decent shoot out ever since it was possible. I myself enjoy FEAR over some other 2006 shooters just because of how satisfying it is, even with all of its “modern shooter” tropes.

>never played RTCW before despite hearing great things in the past about it
>recently started playing a patched GoG version
>got to chapter 4, having fun despite the difficulty being a bit jumpy on DI (generic nazis feel like total fodder while the sexy assassins in the church level were like the female blackops from HL1 on steroids)
>just realized there are mods that include cut content and other shit (RealRTCW on Steam along with this remake I found on ModDB) https://www.moddb.com/mods/rtcwremakemod
Do you think it's worth restarting my run and playing one of these mods to prevent glitches down the road (and for the extra content) or just keep going with the GoG version while trying the mods out later for someone who likes to play a bit like a purityfag?
The patched GoG versions is a little rough around the edges but has been very playable overall but I feel like I should have done a little more research than just going on PCGWiki and diving in.
Also any tips from other anons who've played RTCW would be appreciated.

>>9666629
I have never textured a map in the runic style, let alone anything that isn't idbase. I am now going through the level and looking at the generic blockouts and wondering what I'm supposed to turn them into.

>>9667243
RTCW is not a long game and it's imho very replayable. I would suggest playing through the intended, vanilla experience first and then going for a replay with RealRTCW.

>>9667243
The remake mod is unfinished and not good, don't bother. RealRTCW mod on the other hand is great, but still very similar to the base game in terms of the overall combat and level design, so you're not missing out on too much. It's not a remaster on the scale of Black Mesa or anything.
Main differences between RealRTCW and vanilla RTCW include:
>increased accuracy across the board for all weapons, but enemies are more accurate as well on the harder difficulties
>new weapons that are all pretty redundant, but some cool ones like a shotgun
>tons and tons of customization in the options, like being able to add in more enemies each level including console exclusive ones, modern widescreen and native resolution support, making your crosshair solid instead of pulsing, being able to have a crosshair when you're not scoped in on your rifle, turning off headbobbing, all kinds of shit
Another cool thing is you can choose which chapter to start with from the main menu, so you won't lose much progress if you switch over now, but like I said, it's not like you're missing out on a lot. However, I would strongly recommend playing on Bring Em On difficulty at most if you play with this mod, as the last two difficulties (Death Incarnate and Realism) are really not suited for first time players as they both lower your max HP.
Speaking of difficulty, the main difference in the difficulties for both base vanilla RTCW and RealRTCW is that on Easy difficulty, enemies have a much higher pain chance and have a slower windup, whereas on I am Death Incarnate, they rarely go into hitstun animations and are more aggressive in their attack patterns. That's why I always recommend for people to play on an easy difficulty for their first-time since it's more fair. Either way, playing on Death Incarnate is totally beatable, and it's pretty cool how RTCW actually changes the enemy behavior to be tougher on Hard beyond just making them more tanky or whatever. Have fun!

Why does doomguy 2.0 have such a bubble butt, massive codpiece, and supermodel tier waist to hip ratio

>>9667243
Some RTCW tips and tricks:
1) Basic classic FPS hitscan strategy applies in most situations - break line of sight if overwhelmed. When you do this in RTCW, the basic enemies will often retreat to reload, which gives you an opening of a couple seconds to counter them and be more aggressive. At the very least, it'll reset their windup and allow you to take them down more effectively. If they're especially tanky, wallpeak them and whittle them down first before running in and filling your crosshair with their soon to be dead bodies.
2) Headshots do a lot more damage, so keep your crosshair up around that area.
3) You can lean around corners with the 'q' and 'e' keys. This lets you scope out an area and line up shots. You're invisible to the enemies when you do this, so you can't be shot at unless they enter your non-leaning line of sight.
4) You can hold down CAPS LOCK by default to walk slowly, which lets you stay scoped in with your Mauser rifle while moving, as well as quietly open doors.
5) Crouching heavily increases your accuracy with your automatic weapons. It'll lock your cone of fire to less than half of what it normally is when you hold down the trigger.
6) The Sten does more damage per shot than the mp40, as does the Thompson if you have any ammo for it. Learn to use the Sten against singular foes, so the overheating drawback won't come into play. FG-42 is great too. Flamethrower doesn't do direct damage, but all enemies ticked with it will die to afterburn. Very useful against a certain infamous late-game enemy as well. You can hold down the grenades to "cook" them, letting you release them on the 3rd or 4th *click* to time your throws right.
7) If you're overwhelmed out in the open with no immediate potential to get to cover and break line of sight, strafing horizontally to them while sprinting will throw their aim off a little bit compared to just standing still. You can also strafejump at will even if your stamina bar is at 0%.

>>9667451
Weapon bloat seems like a concern, he has multiple shotguns and assault rifles just by the fourth level.

Does this mean that touching a HS lights you up?

>>9667497
It’s gotten popular enough where that’s certainly the case for some. Others treat it like it’s “so immersive that you’re there omg”.
For me and when the mood strikes, it scratches an itch I can’t find in other shooters.

>>9667497
I'm inclined to agree with your assessment.

Do Projectiles in Doom adjust horizontal speed for pitch? Like if it flies 45 degress up, does it cross the x/y plain sqrt(2) times slower?

>>9667571
Yes.

>>9667571
As far as I can tell, projectiles maintain full horizontal speed regardless of their vertical trajectory, but I might be mistaken.

>>9667615
Disregard that, I suck cocks.
Just tested a Baron hurling balls at me, and >>9667614 was right.

>>9667571
https://youtu.be/Y1PJ6e8m7vI?t=254
No, it will fly at the same horizontal speed regardless of angle. So if it's a short horizontal distance over an extremely tight angle causing a massive vertical distance, the projectile will move extremely quick because it only takes into account the horizontal distance.

>>9667640
oh wait fuck aaa I worded it wrong fuck me, just watch the video you'll get your answer don't listen to me

>>9667392
Thanks for the comprehensive replies, didn't think about manually using walk to keep my scope up with the Mauser since most games I've played have the player auto-walk while scoping. The difficulty scaling with enemy hitstun also makes MUCH more sense in hindsight with me almost getting filtered by the assassins, since sometimes I could mag-dump one with an MP-40 with no sweat but others would just two shot me through a peek in a level without much health pickups.
I'll have to try RealRTCW after since I really like the merge of minor realism (at least in setting) and classic FPS mechanics like strafejumping; really makes it feel like a predecessor to the old Call of Duty campaigns but less of a rail shooter. And I also like shotguns.

>>9667684

>>9667475

Is there a way to enable PanzerChasm's projectile hitboxes in the official Chasm remaster, so I can experience a definitive version of the game that looks good, sounds good, handles good, and doesn't play like absolute fucking shit?

I really, really, really, REALLY cannot stand how this fucking game expects me to PURPOSELY aim projectiles WRONG in order for them to not clip on walls and kill me instantly/make me waste precious ammo needed to kill a target before they reach me and make me take unavoidable damage. FUCK that. Making me unlearn tens of thousand of hours of FPS muscle memory just to play your fucking corridor shooter FUCK you.

I like it cus it's given me some of the best co-op gameplay I've ever played in vidya. It's fucking hilarious.
it's definitely not for everyone, and people who compare it to mods like Brutal Doom/Project Brutality have the wrong idea. In fact I'd say people who get combative about what mods you should play have the wrong idea in general.

>>9667737
>flat futa

>>9667247
I think you're doing a decent enough job there, though those pillar lights look a bit techbasey. I guess maybe have a stroll through some of the vanilla and mission pack runic levels to get some inspiration.
>>9667535
No, but getting damaged by them does.

Are there source ports/engines for Pathways into Darkness like there are for Marathon and its sequels?

>>9667949
There's a port of PiD to Aleph One on Simplici7y, but that's about all you'll get. If you want the full multi-window experience, you'll have to emulate an old Mac.

I was messing with Blood and found out this trap with the two zombies doesn't activate on the lowest difficulty.

I just need to think of a way for the player to kill them all, UDMF map, what can I rig up? A scripted gun they turn on? I want a gimmick.

>>9667497
There's probably some like that, but it's also a boneheaded comparison to make as BD and HD are EXTREMELY different mods aiming at totally different directions. It's like comparing a car to a boat, if you're looking for one, you're unlikely to be looking for the other.

You could however compare 'production values.' BD puts a lot of effort into presentation, effects, and features, but perhaps isn't 100% solid or well though out in the gameplay at all times, with a healthy helping of jank, bloat, and bugs. Meanwhile, HD has a LOT of depth and nuance to its gameplay, but the presentation is incredibly understated, with its very simple (borderline minimalist) animations, interface, effects, and sound, and with some of the mechanics themselves being a little janky, by design.
Some might say that less is more, and looking closer at some of the cruder design in BD it's easy to say that, but I want to argue that for HD its very simplistic visuals and effects are just less, the way the weapons have the least amount of effort possible put into their presentation really takes away from how they feel. BD may be somewhat lacking in substance, but HD is outright lacking in style.

I get the author is a FOSStard who wants to 'borrow' as few assets as possible, keep filesize minimal, and that he has no artistic background, but I don't think throwing in some royalty free sounds to round out the guns, and developing reload animations slightly, is much to ask. New sounds can be sampled down for size and better matching Doom's own, and there'd be no need to draw a whole bunch of new frames, just adding a bit more motion for the guns and the hands (even using tilting/rotation), won't kill the mod.
There's submods to address SOME of that, but virtually none of them elaborate on animations, either being simple frame replacements or all new added weapons.

I say this as someone who dislikes much of BD, particularly its graphics and sound, while vastly preferring HD's gameplay.

>>9668151
I don't think the reloads need any more frames, really. Most of them are so fast anyway that it doesn't really matter. I also disagree with weapons feeling less substantial, working the hunter or loading a grenade into a liberator's under barrel launcher feels good.
I say this as someone who takes far too much time making fancy animations and dislikes it when mods do the Goldeneye thing of "Gun go down, go KRK-CHK-CLICK, and come back up." you still have stuff like the revolver and slayer reloads.

Really the only thing I want as a thing for stock HD is a different sprite option when you're switching between the spray or beam mode on the Thunderbuster. I can't tell you how many times I've killed myself because I forget which mode I'm in with that fucking thing. Like I know the HUD has an icon for that but it's so fucking tiny and I usually have my eyes forward looking out for trouble.

Working on a graveyard themed map, still sketching out the design.
Do any anons here know the name of some appropriately spooky texture packs or something like dark wood/stone, ideally something similarly drawn to the og textures?
I only mention the og textures because scrolling through the zdoom forum mostly seems to pull up either stuff I just aren't looking for or is too high res looking

>>9668281
You could use Ad Mortem's resource pack.
https://mega.nz/folder/NBFWlJZQ#ayc36MvN6fAvwup-8vMLdA

>>9668151
I made the comparison because its fans in these threads are starting to act like the same way Brutal fans did at the height of its popularity (read: obnoxious.) You typing an essay defending your preference in mods while missing that entirely just reaffirms it for me.

Anyone played solar struggle? I started playing but I am not getting music. (playing in gzdoom)

Question: What is the best way for a completely new arrival to the doom modding community to share his project without posting it on either ZDoom forums or Doomworld? I've lurked enough to know these sites will remain cancer as long as the asshats in charge remain in charge.

>>9668298
Perfect, basically what I wanted, cheers anon.
Are there any other known good resources worth grabbing?
I realise looking through my post images I lack smiles and expressions of gratitude so have this

>>9668570
I posted my bullshit on dropbox and posted links here when I first started. Nowadays I use itch.
Also no matter where you go, you're gonna deal with stupid people in charge. It's pretty silly to boycott a site for that reason alone.

>>9668576
Yeah, but it's so much worse when the power-tripping twats also happen to be trannies. I already seethe at the thought of them walking on the same ground as I, and breathing the same air. Even on an an internet forum for autism projects, having to respect their '''''authority''''' is aggravating to me.

>>9668597
>I already seethe at the thought of them walking on the same ground as I, and breathing the same air.
I think you got bigger problems to sort out than sharing your mods, bucko.

>>9668571
The only texture packs I'm familiar with are from /vr/ projects.

>>9668196
>different sprite option when you're switching between the spray or beam mode on the Thunderbuster
Ow this. I'm not sure what else I'd want in stock HD either. I haven't tried it in a few months so I hope he hasn't added anything crazy.

>>9668570
itch.io is by far the best place if you don't want to host your own site. Decent looking, doesn't seem like it's too filled with power-tripping retards.

>>9668571
https://doomworld.com/afterglow/textures/
Since you're making something spooky themed, you could also try looking at R667's Heretic/Hexen texture packs

>>9668570
I'm not much of a Doomer, but Moddb is generally a decent site for older game content.

>>9668618
Both of these look good, thanks
One thing about the ad mortem resources. Is there a way to separate the flats, textures and such from whatever is overwriting the ui and weapons?
I ask because I want to use UDMF because of some portal stuff I want to do but running it that way bugs out the sound and makes doomguys legs appear when I shoot for whatever reason.
I can make a map in mbf21 if I must but I'd rather not if I can help it

>>9668630
You can use SLADE to open the resource WAD and gut all of the sounds, weapons, monsters, code, etc. Just be warned there's a lot of stuff in there.

>>9668634

community chest 4 is the most popular vanilla-ish texture pack by far and includes all the gothic textures

>>9668658

Managed to tear out whatever was buggy running in udmf including the ui, weapons and monsters but I think I might re-add the monsters and weapons.
I kinda like the weapons at least, fucking no clue how you guys did the environment sound stuff though

>>9667448

>>9668320
>I made the comparison because its fans in these threads are starting to act like the same way Brutal fans did at the height of its popularity
It's not even fucking close, interest in HD seems to be slowly cooling around here and it's brought up less, it was more popular here a year ago. You also don't have that "The way it was meant to be played." shit.

>You typing an essay defending your preference in mods while missing that entirely just reaffirms it for me.
That was less me arguing for one over the other (I'm a little harsh on BD, but I honestly like it), and more me getting sidetracked. The point of my sidetrack was that HD could stand to actually learn some things from BD.

>>9668196
The shotgun has a nice centered pump animation which I like, but just adding a bit of a hand moving at the bottom there as shells are loaded into the magazine during the reload would improve the visual a lot.
The revolver outright has spent cases blink out of existence with new ammo coming from nowhere, the animation calls attention to this. With its futuristic looks, presumably it swings out by itself and then extracts when released, but at least have the player's hand actually interact with the cylinder when loading new rounds.

Hiding stuff partially out of frame wouldn't even have to look bad, if you don't want to draw loose rounds or a speedloader being used, then just hold the gun partially out of frame as you see minor hand movement interact with it.

Shadows are cool.

>>9669528
i think those looks ugly, shadows only look good when the luxel size matches the texel size

is that possible?

>>9669586
There is a way to force modern Q1 compilers to do it, but I think only FTE and/or Dark Places can load the bigger lightmaps properly. Otherwise I probably would be doing that.

>>9669586

>>9669608
ew, that's gross.

Not specifically vr but why are none of these new boomer shooters copying Half-Life? They're all level based Quake clones. Give us a full no-cut game like Half-Life in the boomer shooter style. Are there any?

>>9669627
that's because half-life can be seen as the start of stories in video games, which are antithetical to the boomer shooter idea, which is about gameplay.

then again, selaco and hedon have stories sooo...

>>9669627
Northern Journey is kinda close. It's a medieval themed FPS, but it's kind of setpiece-based like Half-Life

>>9669637
>that's because half-life can be seen as the start of stories in video games
That’s a bold claim, do you mean “start of stories in shooters?” There were plenty before that: Dark Forces, Bethesda’s Terminator games, System Shock, and we already have people talking about Bungie’s old 90s shooters. HL was different in how minimalist it was with the storytelling, something they’d forget with its sequel.

>>9669659
i mean in the cultural zeitgheist, like when people think about early stories in FPS, they think of half life before marathon or system shock, because its the big one that still lingers.

>>9669664
That’s one heck of a zeitgeist and impressionable intro to HL1 when you consider how few of the shooters shortly after it didn’t follow its minimalist story telling. Halo would provide cutscenes and continual dialog from Cortana and occasionally other NPCs, while games like Doom 3 would copy System Shock’s audio logs.

>>9666761
>when you enjoy hellscape aesthetics, but the level design is vastly inferior to the earlier techbase levels

Why do Graf and GZDoom simps still defend this shit...?

>>9670017

>>9666590
Why is "exec default.cfg" commented out in quake.rc? If you don't have a config file in id1 this will give you a pretty miserable time with no binds by default.

>>9669208
Okee dokee.

>>9669637
Stories are not antithetical to Boomer shooters they were just too old to really start doing it.

Linearity is the thing that makes HL the Boomer Shooter killer.

You can totally have non-linearity and an epic story with large set pieces and still match the run and gun/grab keys, hit switchs and explore gameplay of doom and quake.

>>9670036
Oh, because I figured that was only used to get defaults to load over top of a local autoexec or something (VR was using an autoexec for binds at some point pre-release because I'm a retard). Does it actually not load defaults at all without it?

>Have like 4 total conversions that turn DOOM into DOOM64
How do i stop being autistic and just use one? each one has its own flavor that i cant force myself to delete it

>>9670096
Easy. Pick and choose the parts you like in order to make a Doom 64 TC that caters to you specifically.

Isnt the newest one supposed to be better?

>>9670070
There are no defaults, that's what that line is for. Without it, if you have no config.cfg in id1 already, you get no standard keybinds. It just happened to me, you can test it yourself too, but I guess it's expected most people will have a config.cfg in id1, I just cleaned it up recently and never started without -game xxx ever since.

No offence but that trick never worked for me whenever this happened a couple of times over the years, it's probably that strange instance I read about where the session data gets deleted but not updated/replaced with a new log during application shutdown after the OS update forces a restart along with the browser getting updated in background.
I could just manually retrieve all of those tabs from the history menu, but some pages I have preserved by not refreshing them for months (years even) are now dead after reloading the cache, at least now I am free from the eternal backlog again

>>9669208
I think that most of my problems with VR (and probably QuakespasmSpiked in genereal) stem from me having a shit decade-old netbook and stealing the entirety of Quake1 retail content from 3Dshooterlegends

>ToDo - regular shotgun to randomizers if axeman's rumble is on.
If it's gonna work as a "chance to replace DBS/NG upon map load" - please give the weapon pickup include 10 shells upon collection (compared to double-shotty's 5) to compensate for the missed weapon progression upgrade as an offset for getting ahold of means to kill the monsters from afar at last - as very few maps in VR are built with AxeMan Rumble in mind currently

>>9669608
damn that's based

>>9669627
Industry kinda does. That Ion Fury sequel does too. Are you looking for HL style specifically, or just story based shooters with realistic environments?

FEARfags are fucking annoying

Been trying to get the admortem resource pack to work in gzdoom and have been tearing stuff out to figure out why webm related occurs as it's like the only issue left to sort.
I've whittled it down to some code pointers in the DEHACKED lump but I don't know which ones or if I can actually get this to work without just ripping the lump out and calling it done.

>>9670993
why

>>9671034
unplayable garbage before the hitbox fix, unless you manually edited hitbox size in the config files - haven't played it since, so i don't know the extent they reduced it officially
regardless, even when the player character doesn't take up 2/3rds the space of your mother's ass, the game is an intrinsically unbalanced piece of shit that completely fails every aspect of first person shooter game design
build powerslave is boring but at least got the basics down, console powerslave is cool conceptually but is not in any capacity a fun experience in execution

No clue. Maybe they just disregard the general and stinks still happen, but I also won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

The Build game is actually a lot better than it gets credit for. Very smartly designed game, even if it lacks the production value of the bigger Build titles or the novelty of the console version.

Anon trying to wrangle admortem to work on gzdoom again and ripping out the dehacked lump entirely results in webm related happening
This happens with all the weapons admortem redid apart from the chaingun for some reason.
If there aren't any anons that know if this is fixable I think I'll just throw in the towel and stick to using the textures and that's it

>>9671427
The dehacked file changes the frame sequence for most weapons to make their animations smoother or otherwise more suitable to the new sprites. If you want to use the sprites you can't remove the dehacked unless you manually rename weapon sprites to override the original ones, and truncate the some animations in the process. I'm not sure why you'd want to remove it anyway since last I checked it worked in gzdoom.

>>9671451
Well >>9670732 happens with the dehacked lump in and I just double checked with the unaltered wad and I still get that issue.
It could be that I just loaded the wad incorrectly maybe?
picrel is how I've been loading in the wad each time so far just in case I fucked up here

>>9671459
Try updating to the latest GZDoom, old versions don't work properly with Ad Mortem's DeHackEd. Also IDK why you're using TNT.wad as a base, it might cause problems with the texture/pnames lumps.

>>9671479
Thanks anon, that seemed to fix it. I was on 4.5 gzdoom in the webms, latest seems to work though I'm going to test things and make sure I can remove stuff like ui stuff I don't need, should be fine though as the shooting bug was the main problem
Also the reason I was using tnt as a base was purely for the animated blue waterfall

I think it's time. It's time to build Doomnite. In the original id doom engine. It will be a 100 player battle royale where players are air dropped into the arena with only a pistol. Over the course of a round, the safe area of the map shrinks down in size due to hell consuming the planet. Players can have fortifications airdropped into the arena to build barriers and towers and other structures and players can destroy fortifications with the chainsaw. The last player or team standing is declared the ultimate arena domination doom guy slayer king champion of all time

how come doom has a more lively modding scene than quake, when quake had quakec, which could be used to build almost anything.
and why the hell did quake fortress not have its own custom models

>>9671760
>and why the hell did quake fortress not have its own custom models
Because Quake mdl models are a massive pain to get looking right and export correctly. Even the 'modern' Blender exporter is a massive shit with random errors and not working on Blender newer than 2.8X.

>>9671760
I can think of a few reasons
>extremely easy to map for, even a fucking monkey could use Doom Builder and make something playable
>SP content is still extremely popular with the playerbase
>been around longer and thus more legacy and also more documentation

>>9671760

>>9671847

Looks excellent. And im very happy to see the mission pack's Greco-Roman theme in use. What are the floor textures from?
You might want to try a different sky, maybe a skybox.

>>9669586
Wouldnt that mean the shadows would be as pixelated as the textures? That would look horrible. Thief used to look like that if you disabled filtering, thankfully they decoupled lighting and textures so you can play with crisp textures and smooth shadows now.

>>9669627
You got a full decade of various shooters following HL's style. Now many people are sick of cover shooters and cinematic/immersive shooters and want a return to fast-paced constant arcadey action.

>>9671034
Which version? It's a little confusing, but there are basically 2 games by the same devs that share the name and some assets. One for MS-DOS, and one for Playstation & Saturn. "Exhumed" is just the name of the European release of both. The console version is what Nightdive re-released on Steam/GOG.

The DOS game is a pretty standard Doom clone. It uses the Build engine like Duke Nukem, but an earlier version and doesn't have many fancy effects. The gameplay is just fine, where it really shines is the level design. The levels are way better than Doom, every one (except for the final map) is a masterfully crafted labyrinth that's just fun to navigate.
The console version is a completely different game. It has a fully 3D world with sprite enemies & weapons. What makes it unique is it's structured like a Metroidvania. You move through an overworld completing levels and then backtracking when you get upgrades to reach new areas. The levels are smaller and simpler due to console limitations, but they're still well-designed. Some of the later levels have puzzles involving your abilities that are just really clever and fun. Also, I think the atmosphere in this version is superior with the 3D lighting and moodier music.

>>9672070
>What are the floor textures from?
Some custom textures I've been making. Mostly just layering generic Roman patterns on top of the existing mission pack marble (tiled larger + scratched). The ceiling one in pic related is still very WIP.
>maybe a skybox
I've got a few panoramic AI renders that I've been meaning to photobash into one. Haven't quite figured out the altitude I want it to convey yet though.

>>9671760
Quake did have a very lively modding scene. It produced countless multiplayer mods that would be recreated in other modding scenes and eventually go on to become full-fledged games, Counter-Strike and Team Fortress being the major two. It had a similar effect with the maps made for it, with every other Quake game (and arena shooters heavily inspired by them) having its own port of Aerowalk and the various iterations of 2fort being used in the said various iterations of TF. Quake eclipsed Doom and its community thought that 1996, the year where WAD making finally started to reach higher standards, would be the last year anyone would give a shit about the game.

The issue with all of this, of course, is that multiplayer requires people, and with no people there's no point in making anything for them, and with Quake as a whole being associated with frenetic FFA action, no one really bothered to keep the singleplayer alive outside of the most dedicated, and eventually everyone else moved on to other games, with Quake's editing tools coming to a bit of a halt with Doom eventually got newbie-friendly programs.

If anyone's familiar with Space Cats Saga 2.0, where the fuck is the yellow card to unlock the secret level on the first level of Chapter 1?

>>9671605
iirc they started it before Build 2 was announced.

I have a question to ask that may have many answers or may requisite a long-winded response. What ways would be ideal to play the individual games of the Turok series? I may skip the last few games for obvious reasons and/or if playing some of them requires jumping through a lot of hoops. I know some have PC ports, some might be stuck on a console, perhaps there are patches or mods that fix some of them and there may be emulation involved?

"sometimes I make video games" programmer here, I have zero experience with sourceport engines but it appears to be texturepage bug. like in a game all the art is on the same texture page and when a piece of art is called the location, xy coordinate start and end points, is displayed but if a texture is abnormally sized, like doesn't conform to the size standard of the rest of the textures then you will encounter this issue. It appears to be tied to fire frame of the weapon. I would check the image sizes of that weapon animation to check that they are all the same size.

>>9673607
That's not it. It's just loading the incorrect sprites.

>>9673624
after watching it again. if it was the bug I was talking about then the top left texture would only exist for single frame of animation. and it stays for the duration of the animation. it might be tied to the flash that lights the room on firing. seems to coincide with exactly when that appears and fades. if that effect calls a texture I would check it.

>>9673686
It's just calling incorrect sprites. Something like the Doomguy's sprite doesn't have the same offset as the weapon sprites, so it shows up in the top corner. He just needs to look at the dehacked file and fix it.

Our survival horror mod, LitDoom has been updated to 0.595a, major improvements include a completely shotgun rework, first person legs, bugfixes, and a whole bunch of other stuff. New revolver on the way too.

Red plasma does more damage and has a small splash radius. It's an attempt to give the plasma gun a bit more use when you have the BFG. When you max out the heat, it deals more damage per cell than the BFG.

>>9674160
this looks fantastic

>>9674748
That's neat. I remember a lot of complaints that weapon reloading mods are anti-Doom because they make you stop shooting and slow things down. So by logical inversion weapons like this that make you shoot even more must be extra Doomy

>>9674748
how long can you maintain red plasma for?

>>9674583
So why did you choose 5'2 for Blaz anyway? Was it subversion of expectations, or did you just think it was funny?

>>9675120
5'0 and because it's funny.
Also because he's half Dwarf. His mom is a Dwarven grappler and his father is a swordsman. Though it means he's a manlet amongst men, and a beardlet amongst Dwarves.

what do you anons think of a sourceport based on linked libraries?

so its possible to both have a vanilla-ish doom experience and a brutal doom one.

>>9665624
There is a map exactly like that in Blake Stone.

>>9675124
>Though it means he's a manlet amongst men, and a beardlet amongst Dwarves.

Kind of reminds me of a D&D campaign though. I played a goliath barbarian and my friend played a dwarf barbarian and I would carry him on my shoulder. Blaz sounds like a good avenue for character interactions like that.

>>9675145
I got plans for all kinds of interactions between the main cast. I think they'll have a fun dynamic.
Also got plans for some emotional gutpunch moments because I love making people cry.

>>9675147
>Also got plans for some emotional gutpunch moments because I love making people cry.
based, the best part about writing is making the characters suffer and I say that completely unironically

>>9675317
But it's all about pathos. Trials and hardships with that payoff where they come out stronger for it, closure and shit. I live for it.
Though that won't be here for the mods, that's just gonna be focusing on the boys kicking ass.

>I remember a lot of complaints that weapon reloading mods are anti-Doom because they make you stop shooting and slow things down.
Fun thought. It’s also contextual. If the super shotgun could be fired twice to deal double the damage that it does now before its “reload”, it wouldn’t be slowing things down at all. If there was a mod to make the pistol reload every ten rounds with no other changes, then yeah that poor thing sucks even harder now.

I just played through this map. Missed the mega secret, of course - I didn't see it in the room with the lightning gun.
Too dark throughout, though it did look nice when I could see. And very stingy with the health pickups.

Where's the D3 Quake mod?

>>9675937
A Doom 3 mod would be the most fitting, considering the engine relations.
I think FTE can match the lighting pretty well, and supports most of the relevant map features too. Not sure if the computer screens and PDA stuff would be doable in CSQC though.

>>9675937
It's a Quake mod for Doom 3.

>>9675006
i just hate it when there's no manual reloading and no readout on how much you have in a mag. that's what i feel slows things down. it's one of the things i hated about duke 3D after going through a marathon of the game, the expansions and some mods. ion fury fixed this by having a dedicated reload button but you were still clueless to how much you had in a mag unless you personally kept track in your head which would become difficult to do in more intense firefights.

i really appreciated how alien armageddon had that for the pistols & bombshell's M4 (but no manual reloading for the M4 oddly enough.).

>>9676008
>you were still clueless to how much you had in a mag
The 2.0 update made this so that your crosshair becomes "empty" along with your magazine without being obtrusive.

>>9676008
Duke's reloading isn't hard to keep track of, the animation plays at every multiple of 12.
I added reloading to the pistol in my wad, and it's similarly easy to keep track of. It reloads every 10 shots, but due to the limitations of Dehacked, it always starts with a full mag when you draw it.

>>9676008
what was the first fps to have "proper" reloading?
>>9676001
you mean shambler's castle? i remember that
>>9673107
herself, depending on how her "anatomy" works

>>9676008
Fury also does a weird thing with its reloads: Switching to a different weapon at any point during any reload will cancel the animation but still reload the weapon. It's fun in its own way.
>>9676074
>what was the first fps to have "proper" reloading?
The earliest I know of to have any reloading are System Shock and Marathon. What's "proper" reloading, by the way?

>>9676082
You used to be able to switch back to the same weapon and fire really fast using this.

>>9676082
>What's "proper" reloading, by the way?
he probably means games with a dedicated reloading key.

>Duke's reloading isn't hard to keep track of, the animation plays at every multiple of 12.
in some of the mods i played with duke had weapons that reloaded like for example in the DNF 2013 mod the ripper is replaced with an M16 that reloads after a certain number of shots.

>>9676257
it only lasted 3 days tho

This is where I'll be hosting /vr/ server mods from now on, including vrsounds and vrskins. TSPG might not want our stuff on their repository. Problem fixed.

Pretty much. You can still find the games on gog-games.

Besides Beyond Reality, what are other mods or mapsets that make it seem like you're having a fever dream?

>>9678679
The latest chapters in Oblivion TC for Duke Nukem are like the dude was high on something

Shadow Warrior is pretty bad compared to Duke Nukem and Blood, isn't it? Feels like the combat is a nonsense of bullets flying around everywhere, compared to the more calculating nature of the other two. I hate most of the game's enemies, even more so than I hated cultists (which I grew to love).

>>9678679
>lilith.pk3

>>9678720
How far are you? I remember not feeling SW's combat at first but grew to like it about as much as the other two. The thing you need to get used to is that explosives are your workhorse. Shoot grenades around corners whenever possible, explode the coolies, and nuke shit.

>>9678679

>>9678720
>Shadow Warrior is pretty bad compared to Duke Nukem and Blood, isn't it?
I think it’s as fun and as detailed, but what you’re saying appears to be the consensus. It not only sold poorly compared to the other big two, it currently has far less custom maps and content compared to Duke or Blood.
One thing I will say is that even though I enjoyed it as much as the other two, I couldn’t enjoy it with zero aim assist.

>>9678676
Boney boys do seem to have a lot of popularity these days

>>9676896
Wait, where's the group photo?

>>9678676
I think the Cyberdemon is a "perfect" representation of Doom on pair with the classic logo and that SKINTEK texture
A buff minotaur with a cybernetic arm cannon and leg (on opposite sides) and maybe exposed "guts/pipes/whatever that is" fits that "Hell and tech" theme
Almost like the "Bowser" of Doom

whats up with the newest version of gzdoom? its not defaulting to gzdoom-user.ini as the config file. where tf is the default config file???

in documents probably.

>>9678918
C:\Users\(You)\Documents\My Games\GZDoom\gzdoom.ini

I haven't bothered figuring out why this was changed, but if your .ini is in the same directory as the .exe then launching gzd should put up a prompt asking if you want to move it

duke nukem = 1:1 doom clone
shadow warrior = "react and kill everything asap or die retard" the game
blood = borderline tactical shooter

incomparable, but duke really is babby mode in terms of enemy lethality and by far the least interesting mechanically

>>9679054
I see, we should've just taken off on the plane with the NSF

>>9678918
I'm guessing the rationale may have been so that different users on one computer can have different setups and not interfere with each other?
Genuinely no idea how common it actually is for multiple people to share one computer these days though. Would be nice if there was a shortcut pointing you to those folders or something.

>>9679086
>duke nukem = 1:1 doom clone
Anti-intellectual statement.

>>9678918
i wonder if theres a way to change the "default settings" of gzdoom (short of editing the source code and compiling it on your own)
its annoying to change the display settings and shit every time i decide to make a new config for a mod i use. i know i can just copy+paste too but still

>>9679101
it has the same exact rhythm as doom but without the windup to the movement so it's simpler
the only hitch in the road for that comparison is the big guys with miniguns being exponentially more deadly than chaingunners, but you can get rid of them just as easily
what else could you possibly call it

>>9676884
>>9676867
Yeah, sorry for no new version still.

Since I have no idea if I'll ever hear from Mozza again :( (and I don't know of any other 3D modeler who's up for giving me a hand), I decided that I'll just whip up a simple but decent placeholder based on the Aliens pulse rifle.
It wouldn't be as grand and mighty as the idea I had in mind for a "Plasma LMG", but I'm aiming to make it look decent. One of the things I remember learning somewhere from some dev is that if you're gonna put something in as a placeholder, you should make sure it's presentable, because you might never get around to replace it.
I want to do the other one still, but I guess that's not in the cards right now.

I guess I'll post a WIP of the graphic in a bit, but I gotta go excavate my house from all this snow.
