need more quake levels

>>9702793
Be the change you want to see.

>>9702793
Violent Rumble needs more Quake levels too.

Now this is getting serious.

FROG BLAST THE VENT CORE

/vr/os, I need your help, post the STUPIDEST retro FPS memes you can muster. Actual mental retardation incarnate, do not hold back.

>>9702797
>second shotgun power
Do you think the supershotgun is in a good spot as a bridge between the lesser weapons (shotgun, chaingun, lolpistol) and better ones (launcher, plasma, bfg)?
Do you think the bigger problem is how popular it is and how much others like to use it?

>>9702842
>>9702887
>When my ship still answered to the Pfhor,
they called it Sfiera after their goddess
of lightning and passion. When you helped

Vengeance".
>I call it Boomer.
This honestly sounds like a modern shitpost, but it's an actual quote and pic from Marathon Durandal.
Don't get me wrong though, it is a good shitpost by Durandal.

>>9702904
>how popular it is and how much others like to use it?
these are not problems.

Well, I just finished the 16th map of my megwad. Maybe in another year we'll get to play the damn thing.

>>9702973
FUCK OFF back to playing Ultima or Wizardry or NIM, then.

>>9702973

>>9702887

that's also Doom 3.

>>9702887

>>9702968

>>9702887
>post the STUPIDEST retro FPS memes you can muster

>>9703010
Once upon a time, there was a mapper who liked to share his stuff, but then a big bad troonworlder came along and stabbed him in the back. Now he doesn't want to share anymore.

So I'm playing Realms of Cronos now, it's pretty incredible, yet nobody seems to recommend it or even know about it.

>>9702945
>>Do you think the bigger problem is how popular it is and how much others like to use it?
>”No”
Input and (you) appreciated

>>9702904
>Do you think the bigger problem is how popular it is and how much others like to use it?
sort of, doom suffers a real plague of armchair gamers who think the SSG obsoletes the other hitscans because it's more efficient than the shotgun and shells are more common than bullets
same people will also complain about chaingunners, archviles, and revenants, all while refusing to use the plasma gun because they need to save the cells for a BFG that they don't have yet because they watched a youtube video that told them the BFG can do really big numbers in theory and that means the plasma gun is useless

>play through my map

https://a.uguu.se/OLRdZETq.bsp

Updated version of cqb, lighting is mostly implemented and there's some more health scattered around. Excessively dark in some areas because I haven't figured out where the fill lights are going to go, and a bit too bright in other places because values still need tweaking. Lighting in general can get really ugly with the shotgun flames and the power shield, don't know why this is. Texturing and geometry in certain parts is still spartan but the map more or less is in a beatable state.

I would've progressed further, but life happens and I figured that there would've been a project delay that would let me hammer out the finishing touches. Shame about how this has all gone down. I know VR1 had a similar outcome, but at least there were more than a whopping 1 non-project lead submission.

>>9702783
https://www.moddb.com/mods/dnf2001-restoration-project/news/february-2023-development-update

>Doom 3 Nightmare is actually harder if you disable health degeneration but don't spawn with a Soul Cube, because you can't buff yourself back to 100 health on demand and will get eaten alive by hitscanners early game.
huh

>>9703267
woah, how'd you get the weapons to look like that? I'm not even trying to shit on it, it looks good. Pic related for laughs

>>9703581
Sounds like it would clearly be harder with health degen turned on as well. RoE’s artifact can negate encounters but it’s still fun on NM because your only health comes from stations.

>>9703585
You can do it with these console commands:
>scr_ofsx
>scr_ofsy
>scr_ofsz
Mess around with those values. Not tested on Kexquake.

>>9703596
I'll keep that in mind. Haven't touched quake in a hot minute, gonna mess about with this.

>>9703592
it'd be asinine to play with no soul cube AND only 25 max health, unless you mapped out every single encounter and item/station placement in your head then speedran like fuck
there really is just no reliable way to kill every hitscanner before they clip you
someone probably did it though

>>9703629
It's something I'll try out. I'd be at an advantage because I've played it a few times, I'm familiar with some encounters and they're often sound cued. I'll still fuck up because I'm not great.

>>9703665
>sound cued
something that bothers me about doom 3 is that sound directionality is nonexistent
you can hear an enemy spawning in from basically anywhere in a room but you have to spin around left and right to find them because it's so loud and doesn't dither with distance and seems to come from every angle
why is it like that

>>9702887

Shouldn't at least Woof be added to the pastebin?

>>9703669
Because the game was designed for Creative's EAX 3D audio (literally just so Carmack/id wouldn't get sued) and the standard 2D sound isn't great. You have to use a source port like dhewm3 to get the proper sound mixing.

>>9703665
It took me until my latest playthrough, 5 years later, to figure out you can crouch under the tentacle guys' attack.

>>9703102
How about Funnyjunk?

>>9703585
I installed this shit:

But I was thinking of a more vanilla way of doing more or less the same thing, will try this for sure >>9703596

thanks copper

>>9703871
Neat. I'll throw some maps together then speed style. Shame about the threads having slowed down, but we do our best day by day.

>>9702793
Theres a gorillion billion on quaddicted, surely you havent played all the good ones

>>9703035
That map was wild. Feels like it should be a standalone release honestly, its so big.

>>9703945
By the way. Are you guys using the "Slipseer" hosting site? I find it really suspicious that some new guys in the Quake community are trying to replace quaddicted which is still actively maintained and works perfectly fine. Probably the same people that ran off dumptruck_ds (creator of great tutorials that helped me start Quake engine mapping). I dont give them any traffic.

>>9703874
Zombie goasts, leave this place

>>9703949
>Are you guys using the "Slipseer" hosting site?
No, there's no point. Everything ends up on Quaddicted anyway.
> Probably the same people that ran off dumptruck_ds
Yes.
>I dont give them any traffic.
Good.

>>9703949
>I find it really suspicious that some new guys in the Quake community are trying to replace quaddicted
They're not trying to replace quaddicted, the point of Slipseer was to create a website where users can submit their own maps independent of Spirit or one of his staff members needing to upload it themselves. I don't use Slipseer much either, but it's ridiculous to think Quaddicted is a good model for community submitted maps because the staff members of Quaddicted could fucking die tomorrow in an accident.

>>9704119
It's unfortunate that the knife in Sam is way overpowered. A lot of my early experiences with Sam were because of shotgun reload times, switching weapons, etc. The knife is really ridiculous and I'm going to put a note in all my Sam maps not to use the knife or you're a bitch.

I probably enjoyed three maps total but maybe more so if they were vanilla. I was expecting a fun pack not a lost levels situation kek

>>9704183
They’re set drops assigned by the level designer. It’s ammo and weapon drops that are random.

>>9702780
Beat Cryptic Passage, it was fun but not as good as Duke Caribbean, Sunstorm did good work.

>>9704125
At least you can't 1-hit kleers with the knife in the classic sam. The window of opportunity to safely knife a kleer and side step is extremely small due to its short range. Unless you don't have it yet, the double barrel is definitely the safer option since it gives you more range and 1-hits them. But more power to you if you got the skill to knife a horde of kleer to death.

>>9704457
Cryptic Passage may be the most evil portion of Blood simply through their use of mid-level cultist spawns. Post Mortem’s Aqueducts may be a contender.

Felt mostly easier then the main campaign thanks to all the ammo and items.

Anyone have a good/current version of the Thief FM recs? I made the mistake of playing some godawful Gold FMs from the late 90s and I don't want to make that mistake with 2 FMs.

>>9704835
this but for short but sweet type FMs

>>9704547
i have no idea why the knife does 130 damage in ss4 and sm especially when you can use 2 at once
literally what were they thinking
it completely negates some small scale early game kleer fights and devalues the ssg's role

Can you make a monster immune to hitscan with MBF21?

What do you mongrels think about Sigil? Recently thought about giving it a run. I’ve just recently beat 64 for the first time but have played 1 & 2 countless times, Hell on Earth by far being my favorite iteration of the series (pic rel, had it since around launch)

>>9705102
Using restrictive environments and small monster count is an underappreciated skill in modern mapping scene. Although Romero's walls are too jagged for doom's collision.

>>9704978
I don't think so.

>>9705102
I enjoyed it a lot. Like, a lot. What >>9705115 said. Sometimes less is more. Gorillions of monsters is never a good thing. I really liked how at first you have this small level, and then you realize it's actually bigger, and then even bigger, and then you realize it has even more to it, and more, it has this really satisfying feeling of mystery that 99% of wads miss completely.

>>9705102
You can tell John Romero worked on it. No offence to the plenty of successful and capable mapmakers out there, but I am sure even they will admit that there is a touch to the original mappers that just can't be substituted.

>>9705102
The way it uses Doom textures is brilliant.

>>9703080
In most cases I love using the Plasma Rifle unless I feel the BFG is an absolute necessity. And while the SSG is great I crutch the regular shotgun for sniping to conserve chaingun ammo.

>>9705102
Also as oppressive difficult as it is on Nightmare or UV+, E5M5 is one of the most fun maps I've ever played in OG doom.

Mapping at Warp Speed AND Mysterious Mayan Madness are both 403'd!! AND THERE'S NO MIRRORS OF THESE WADS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>9702973
>implying doom

doombo

>>9705521
>And while the SSG is great I crutch the regular shotgun for sniping to conserve chaingun ammo.
What do you use it on instead? Maybe have it out and ready for a chaingunner ambush?

>>9705606
Well, the SSG can definitely mow down chaingunners at short to medium range, but if they are in great number or at a greater distance, the regular shotgun, chain gun, or rocket launcher work well. Sometimes you just gotta peekaboo shoot chaingunners.

>>9705614
Otherwise if it's something like multiple monster closets in short range, the Plasma rifle will eat hordes of chaingunners, but you'll definitely have to flee while doing so. It's always difficult to play safe around chaingunners.

>>9705614
Agreed. I’m more curious about what the bullets are being saved for though, unless it’s another case of playing lots of maps that are drowning you with shells.

>>9705558
403=/=404

>>9705637
Shotgun ammo is often quite plentiful in maps, and at the very least, more plentiful than other types of ammo. I crutch SG and SSG because of that since they are very good "catch all" guns. But while they can handle most situations, sometimes there are weapons just better for the predicament you find yourself in. That can be entirely different per person though, as aside from the pistol there is rarely a map in the og games that cannot be beaten by using only a single weapon.

Sometimes I do challenge runs, like only SG or SSG through x number of maps, no other weapon. It can be fun learning how to change and adapt to situations I sometimes would use a different gun for.

Sure it can, it was made by Johnathon Soimero and he made like 7 levels in the original game, so it's official my guy; and one day, when Soimero passes gracelessly from this earth and Bill Gates (who will still be alive) replicates the contents of his soul with an AI cyberbrain and places it in a lab-grown clone body, Soimero will then create yet another spankin' new episode, and that too will be official.

>>9706163

>Apocalyptic Viebs is out

>>9706706
amazing how many things you've never heard of before can be found just by searching "gzdoom" on steam
someone's selling touhou doom as a standalone

Was trying out Winter's Fury. Too many hell knights/barons on the first map.

>>9706706
Oh boy, it sure is brown.

>plasma gun now always deals 40 damage per hit
>but it has to cool down for 3 seconds instead of 600ms once you stop firing, preventing you from switching weapons unless it has 0 cells
do you accept?

>>9706956
3 seconds? Jesus that's a long ass time.

>>9706956
No.

>>9706956
Normal weapon switching is long enough and can be a cause of death if done at the wrong time, making the player completely harmless as punishment for not wanting to keep spraying at enemies seems way too extreme

>>9706501

>>9705659
The shotguns also chew through their ammo really slowly and their easier to use. Ideally I’d save shells and use the chaingun when I went to snipe softies or other similar distant targets, but if I keep tripping on shells throughout the map I can just vomit ssg pellets in their direction.
>>9703080 touched upon this situation as well.

>>9707367

>>9707375
i'm p sure you could port it to dos, not cleanly of course, but its still a port.

>>9707348
teh slope of slippery, i would prefer if we could discuss such games personally. im not going to /v/

>>9707457
It's not a slippery slope. If GZDoom mods are allowed, then mods of other retro source ports should be too.

>>9707348
>>9707361
>>9707457
Ion Fury is allowed. The line of what is allowed and what is not allowed depends on the game's engine. If the game uses retroengine such as eduke, gzdoom or darkplaces, it is allowed. If it uses engine such as unity or unreal4, it's not allowed. Why? Because talk about new Doom, Quake or Duke mods is allowed (as it should be). Some mods such as REKKR, Supplice and Age Of Hell started as Doom wads, but later became commercial games, so it would very hard to draw the line without actual rule.

>>9707348
It “should be fine” as it’s basically a standalone Duke3D TC, as much as Rekkr is a standalone Doom TC or any other standalone GZD games. “Should be fine” due to >>9707361 and how sometimes the discussion around them goes south.

When will retards stop rehashing thhis topic?
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134282-doom-2-level-design-is-very-gimmicky/

>>9703436
>Lighting in general can get really ugly with the shotgun flames and the power shield, don't know why this is.
Quake 1's dynamic glow effect can't be controlled at all and it's a bit brighter than I'd like (probably not so much in software mode). The Quad and Pentagram do the same thing, it's just less obvious because of their screen tints.
I'll probably take the glow off the shields once I get them to have a model floating in front of the player.
>I know VR1 had a similar outcome, but at least there were more than a whopping 1 non-project lead submission.
Eh, it's understandable. Quake mapping isn't as casual as Doom, and I often get the feeling while mapping that I might as well just go make my own game due to the time investment and coping with engine limitations.
I also probably should have waited at least a whole year since the end of VR1 and done a bunch of code cleanup in between.

>>9705228
Agree. Both Sigil and NRFTL have that extra something that is missing from even the best PWADs. Those are just music with a few offkey notes, missing beats.

Romero is an ugly ass, doesn't deserve praise as a person, but he knows that last tenth percentage which separates the solid usermaps and a canonical content.

>>9706706
Looks like Ashes Afterglow, but gloomier, more Stalker-inspired, made by one autistic russian instead of a group of autistic russians, and also not free. It is cheap in rubles though, what rificulous price you are talking about?

Door opened by sight alerting a caco, compatible in doom and above:
https://files.catbox.moe/vp3tf0.zip
I was making a map with something similar to dash tower from 400mins where you ascend boom fake floors and I was annoyed when synchronizing some actions with the silent switch teleport so I made this

This is a door activated by alerting the caco behind a long tunnel concealed with a midtexture and impassable flag - as soon as the caco at the end of the tunnel spots the player it moves and teleports away, allowing the voodoo doll blocked by it to move along a current (which doesn't affect flying enemies such as the caco) and trigger any action.

Although it may seem unpractical, this allows you to trigger an action right after the player teleports somewhere, so for example a door opens as soon as the player presses a "Sx Teleport" or passes a "Wx Teleport" line, so that even if the player stops and remains in one stop after triggering the teleport, an action will happen, you can see it in the wad. There's also a readme
I don't know if there's a mondo project currently on but feel free to put it there

>>9708020
*boom and above, one place* goddamn it

>>9708020
It's certainly a way to do it, if a bit niche.

>>9707596
I'd understand your angery if this was some old member bringing this up. But it's a new guy, creating a topic about something which all of us who play classics eventually think about.
Surely it's better than someone asking about how old games retroactively fit into one retarded plot point from Eternal or another.

Feel free to crucify me for asking this, but are there any good roguelike/roguelite WADs or mods available?

NTA, but I would assume his "ridiculious price" means "asking money for it in the first place". Too lazy to actually look it up and this discussion will quickly turn into shitshow, so iwho cares.

>>9703949
From what I gather, Slipseer was born from some stupid spat and it just seems to be an attempt to undermine Quaddicted. Like you said, there's no point to the place because Quaddicted is a better site anyway and has all the maps.

These are the kind of people that form a clique and develop a grudge with someone outside it, then do everything they came to try to defame them and push them out of the community. Thats what happened with Tormentor667 on Doomworld. Guy spends decades making content and hosting a site for resources, then a tiny clique of Doomworld mods starts shitting on him every chance and allowing open harassment they would never allow against their buddies, until he quit for good.

>>9708475
What are you talking about, Tormentor had a graceful sendoff with his 10-chapter farewell writing, which he absolutely followed through with.

>>9708475
My last post on this. I don't use slipseer much, I like checking out the resources section now and then, and the harassment shit is reprehensible in every way. But it's silly that every map for quaddicted needs to go through a human buffer. Again, Spirit, negke, and now the other guy could die tomorrow and nobody would know. It's a very poor model for archival.

>>9708475
Tormentor667 should never have left the Doom or Quake modding community.

>>9706592
That trap is evil first time through but if you know what to expect you can just fire BFG twice and eliminate everyone in the room

>>9708475
Torm did fair share of not cool shit in past like stealing resources or submitting stolen maps to few community projects. There was never actual harrasment, but just meaningless fights with Torm and wad authors that he wronged. Nothing big and people got over it. Only time when he got fight with mods was the release of first version of BoA 3, because of map where you kill zombie jews and having some tranny joke in wad. Torm howerer agreed to release censored version and fight was over. It was not big thing either. Torm did quit wad making, because he always planned to quit after completing BoA. He howerer wrote that he will stay on community including Doomworld to continue giving mapping advice. He also continues hosting his sites and the resources there. You are thinking the drama as bigger than it actually was. Neither Torm or the guys and gals he had argument with remember the whole thing. Why should you get mad about it? Arguments happen and they are solved. No bad guys there, just different views.

Noting Eternal's total absence from the lynching thread, and what's more - a total of solely single mention of his name, I wonder if he ever addressed the plagiarism or even acknowledged it. What I was a sure witness of, is moderating crew lavishly throwing their weight around with steadfast post claiming Tormentor dead as person. I had to be born in an asylum, absolutely ignorant of outside air and human contact, to not notice how vile and ridiculous it all is.

Best 2001 fps?

>>9708261
option 1
>boot new game on veteran
>switch to nightmare via console
>go to doom(3?)config.cfg and edit the value pertaining to max health on nightmare from 25 to 100, the value of health drain from 5 to 0, and the interval of health drain from 5 to 9999999 (so the game doesn't spam the word COMPULSORY at you constantly)

option 2
>boot game on veteran
>go to the same config file
>change the player damage taken value from "1" to "2" (veteran is 170% damage, nightmare is 350%, so close enough, maybe try 2.06 if it works)

option 1 is going to fuck you because medkits won't spawn and health stations alone aren't enough for the level of damage you'll take unless you have mastered the game already

I feel like Ion Fury's biggest problem is that it stops giving you new weapons after the first uh, third of the game?

And the power-ups are mostly lame but other than that the level design is amazing and the Aftershock expansion is very much awaited!

Oh, and please more enemy types...

Is this you?

The expansion is apparently going to have an energy weapon.

Bad post! Opinion discorded! Ion Fury's crossbow is pretty damn cool, especially the charged shots.

The power ups could use some more interesting ones, like the "radar" is just gay and lame.

I think you should also get to plop down autonomous turrets or something.

>>9708649
They're adding one in the expansion.

>>9708649
I did not like a single gun in IF, they all felt like shit to use for some reason. It's a far cry from the trinity where nearly every gun was fun to use.

Skill issue like that RTCW guy maybe? I'd suck Wang's wang and I still feel Fury has some of the best feelan build shootan

>>9708672
Huh really?
I thought that each IF gun felt useful and powerful. The revolver especially. That said, there could be more unique / brutal death animations..

>>9708665
this pleases me.

>>9708681
>>9708684
To clarify, I'm not talking about how effective they are at clearing rooms, but more on how they feel to use. The sound design of the guns themselves combined with how enemies react to being hit by them is what made the weapons shine in the original trinity for me. When I fire a napalm launcher in Blood, I'm treated to a meaty-ass explosion, shortly followed by cultists being flung everywhere with some of their blood-curdling screams red-shifting past me. IF's explosives just did not have the same impact on me, I can't remember anything with the same level of satisfaction.

>>9708704
>To clarify, I'm not talking about how effective they are at clearing rooms, but more on how they feel to use.
I knew what you meant, that's why I said "best feeling build shooting".
RR has the gun roster and feel I don't like much, but I enjoy how well the levels look.

>>9703680

>buy ammo spamming "," and "."

>>9708704
Well with that metric Blood is definitely king and not just of the Build trilogy. Still, I personally really like Ion Fury's revolver and the bow.

>>9708626
Ghost Recon isn't very comparable to the others, given the nature of its gameplay. It's top-tier though. The rigidness and very still environments of it (and the other early Tom Clancy games) adds a degree of tension that modern mil-sim type games don't have.
Red Faction is pretty great, just pretend it came out a couple years earlier.

>>9708676
>press mouse 2 to spin minigun
>character lifts it over their head and swings it by the ammo belt at an exponentially increasing speed
>jumping lets you fly like a helicopter
>releasing mouse2 after 5 seconds flings it at the enemy for an instant gib
why can't minigun spinning be realistic like this

>>9708626
Red Faction is OK, but it abandons its gimmick pretty quickly and becomes "ordinary turn-of-the-millennium shooter but occasionally the surface layer of the wall falls off".

Ghost Recon and PS1-early PS2 era Rainbow Six feel very stealth-intensive from what I do remember.

>>9709203
They can be, though there's a high enough 'skill ceiling' for you to be able to substitute stealth for speed in many cases.

Granted, for Ghost Recon that can just involves using specialists with OICWs to rain down 20mm grenades on enemies at the other end of the map before they can see you and scatter.

>>9709223
>substitute stealth for speed
er, other way around I meant

>>9708617
oh also if you do the second one you have to make the file read-only and then type exec doomconfig in console every single map otherwise the damage value resets

>9709869
>make the shotgun no longer headshot
That’s criminal

>>9709927
it makes sense, im already buffing the damage, hopefully to a 1 hit on weak enemies AND its a penetrating shot.

>>9709976
Headshot damage multipliers make perfect sense across multiple guns, is satisfying, and is what allows the game’s shotgun to oneshot enemies at longer ranges than its other build counterparts.
Making the crossbow veer off less and smoother switching are the fixes I’d want.

>>9709927
headshots need to spawn shotguns

>>9707637
please make a tutorial on how to frankenprogs

>>9710004
i shouldn't need a shotgun to be satisfying only on headshots.

>>9705558
Tried waybacking the page?

I'll try to get around to it eventually. Might just do a Rentry page instead of a video though.

Anything specific you'd want it to cover?

>>9710074
>forgot tripfaggotry
I guess the obvious thing to cover would be integrating mission pack stuff into base progs. Maybe adding new weapons as well, though VR's weapon management system is probably retarded and shouldn't be emulated.

>>9710041
Headshots can make all the weapons feel satisfying, without them it’s about the same as Duke3D’s shotgun which is fine.

>>9710094
duke's shotgun is bad.

Wait so you quit, or is “quitting” going back to saving during the map? Also, what difficulty did you put yourself through for it?

>>9710357
Quitting as in giving up on no saving.
I still wanted to play through the megawad, and I'm arrogant so UV. I hear you're meant to play the final Scythe section on HMP if you have trouble and aren't a retard like I am.

>>9710189
This. I've been bored to all other games. Occasionally some other retro fps is fine too, but I eventually get bored and return to Doom. Doom doesn't even feel like only a game anymore. It's a hobby. Playing it, mapping/modding, discussing about it with you fucks. It all makes me happy. Even thinking about playing Doom gives me warm feeling. On top of that as a game it feels pure, organic. The wads have been made by people who care about their work. The wads are art insteas of soulless corporate products, what most of modern games are. Always something to look towards to.

>>9710364
Oh cool so you’re still at least enjoying it. It is a big spike though, I’m curious how thing placement varies between difficulties so I’m checking that right now.

>>9710378
Well it's still Doom, so I'm having fun. I hate saving as it feels like surrendering, but honestly, I'm just not there yet when it comes to BFGing Cyberdemons point blank and the start of the map is annoying enough that I hate redoing it.
I watched MtPain27's video on Scythe and holy fuck does it get worse.
I just wish I could find a wad that gets gradually harder so I can slowly improve, but most wads seem to be aimed at really good players from the start or start off easy then decide to murder you at a random point.

>>9710392
That’s where difficulty settings can help out to ease you into the sets, then you can revisit them and enjoy the harder spawns through harder settings. Oddly enough, “Despair” of Scythe says it doesn’t have an archvile on HMP but it does on UV and the two easiest ones. Weird.

>>9702887
Just go on KinoFabino's twitter.

>>9709869
I think in general Ion Fury's weapon balance in and of itself is pretty good, I'm mostly just hoping that the game would get some "superweapons" towards the end, like a flamethrower equivalent / big plasma.

I would love to see more alternate death sprites, that would alone make a lot of the weapons feel more powerful without necessarily increasing the actual hp damage. Of course, that is a LOT of work, which is one of the reasons it's pretty phenomenal Blood did so many varied death animations for the enemies (including special voodoo doll kills) and they are also very high quality!

I would also love to get like a deployable turret similar to FEAR's turrets except maybe use the minigun to deploy it on the ground and have it shoot at enemies, it won't target you but it could do friendly fire.

Well that was weird.

>>9710541
zoomer opinion

>>9710541
RTCW's campaign and multiplayer are both phenomenal, but Wolf 3D deserves all the credit it gets for being a good game. (pic related)

it's obviously Spear of Destiny is the best

>>9710581
Mr Alm gives you some leeway before throwing the kitchen sink at you.
>>9710772
Also, while it lacks the nuanced movement mechanics from other shooters it’s really fun moving nearly 1:1 with the mouse. I can’t recall much similar besides like Tyrian.

>>9710772
The twist at the end of Spear of Destiny is underrated and very cool.

>>9710805
this is the one time that wolf 3d characters are "remastered" and it's not even in an actual game
it'd be like if doom eternal never used those "classic" designs outside of some trailers

>>9710408
>Why a Caco over a Lost Soul? Lost Souls don't count for kills.
Good idea, I'll choose that for next implementation, though the readme already mentions you can use lost souls or pain elementals, it doesnt matter as long as its flying(so it ignores the current on the floor)
>What does it do that a door blocking the voodoo doll doesn't?
It allows the event to be triggered instantly after teleporting somewhere, even if player decides to stand perfectly still after pressing the switch teleport or walking through the walkover teleport(this one is less useful since you can just put a linedef 1 unit away from the teleport walkover line, but theoretically that one can be triggered with mancubi balls or by player accidentally without going into the teleporter)
I know it sounds a bit weird and unpractical but it does prove useful for one gimmick in the map I'll be making

>>9710787
No, really. Map 22 was a massive roadblock for me, but so far it seems to be the toughest one. I hear map 30 is the real great filter, and I've seen decino play it so I know I can't beat it, but I want to at least get to it.

>>9710541
If RTCW was good I'd give enough of a shit to get past the first encounter with the undead king.

doom 64 is like doom 1 with pretty lighting and shittier movement
quake is like doom but 3d and with physics
quake 2 is like quake with pretty lighting and shittier movement, and is therefore analogous to doom 64's relationship with doom
doom 3 has quake 2's style of movement and a similar weapon roster while actually establishing atmosphere and having a nightmare mode that's fun and not babby's first game
quake 4 is a reskinned doom 3, and therefore quake 2 but competent, however in riding the coattails of doom 3 it is literally doom 3's butt

i ran out of space sorry review over

Figured out an easy way to deal with the floating Cyberdemon in TNT's Pharaoh: Just run past it and off the ledge into the room with the two giant thrones. The invisible platform the Cyberdemon is on will lower, trapping him between two waist-high walls. Climb back up the stairs and super shotgun him with impunity; his rockets will hit the waist-high wall in front of him.
Just looked at every run of this map on Youtube and nobody figured this out.

I mean, you're playing brutal Doom. I'll give Markie Mark credit for trying to make the Icon a real fight, but it's still a shitty mod that values style over substance.

Agreed for the most part
I definitely like them transparent boney bois

I hate these little niggers like you wouldn't believe. What were the devs thinking with this bloke? "Man, let's make an enemy that saps all your health in three seconds. Such a fun enemy to fight!"?

>>9712532
You can just crouch under the tentacle guys' attack, but back up because they'll boot you int he face right after.

>>9713249
Fuck yes, since Arcane Dimensions seems to be "complete", Alkaline updates are what I look forward to now.

I decided to play all 1764 maps from quaddicted starting with honey.zip and I cant stand this guy's use of text alerts, how I despise this.

>>9713459
Heh, you're gonna love the ending then.

Lots of Quake today, huh
I was starting to consider this a better transition to Q2 than SoA. Shortly after that thought, the mod affirms this by throwing mutants at me. Also ow.
>>9713459
I love the cathedral portion so much, perfect song choice too.

>>9713528
What weapon mod?

>>9713421
>literally REEEEEEEEs you to death

>>9713571
That's from the newest Alkaline >>9713249

>>9713421
Those are actually fun in Doom.

>>9713421
>"hard" enemy in "hard" game

try reacting faster than a geriatric pintman with alzheimers

Pistol starting Doom 2 is surprisingly tough, at least, any map with a shit ton of Pain Elementals is because modern source ports let them vomit out Lost Souls like they're on sale.
I've had to resort to berserk punching a lot of meatballs.

>>9713528
I really liked that map. It looks boring from a design standpoint compared to all the others, but unlike the others it's also pretty fair and doesn't destroy you with fucktons of distant hitscanners and no cover.

>>9713932
What if I'm a geriatric pintman with alzheimers Huh!? Motherfucker?

>>9713943
Just set complevel correctly lmao. But yes, actual Doom isn't made with pistol-starting in mind.

>>9713903
Did you rike it?

>>9713961
>actual Doom isn't made with pistol-starting in mind.
Yes it is.

>>9713961
It actually is, but then again nobody back then thought people would be playing the game 30 years later where even basic laptops can handle thousands of lost souls at once so there's not enough ammo laying around for that.

okay, here we go.

>>9713971
Not as much as the other projects but ye

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.

>>9710748
one thing that ruins wolf3d for me are "binary" doors. they are either open or close, there's no inbetween even if there's opening and closing animation. press the key and you instantly eat the bullet because there's someone behind the door

HL2 is good

>>9714093
I've made a map for PUSS this week, it's a miracle I was able to make anything at all in 3 hours.

>>9714137
Since we have PUSS and ASS, how long will it be for The Incredible Timed Speedmapping to be formed?

>>9714113
cool, which are the best community maps for it?

>>9713459
wait untill you get to the final map and die from cringe

>>9713528
I don't quite understand how much do Mutants differ from Fiends mechanically to warrant their existance - they even got the same HP and damage values IIRC

>>9708676
Would be acceptable if the barrels were a drill.
I like Unreals primary/secondary, but I think it should be more exaggerated. Primary should be slower but very accurate, and secondary should be faster as shit but more inaccurate.

>>9714272
What if the secondary was all barrels firing off at once but at the same fire rate as the primary fire

No Serious Business Saturday today, sorry. I'm just too busy today.

>finally made this shit run without the installer crashing (even if the drawback is no music and cutscenes)
Welcome to die!

>>9714405
>installer
Why did you need the installer when you can download a zip?

>alternative hud
ah, reminds me of teenage myself, a brutalkiddie replaying holyhell with russian overkill over and over again, because where the fuck else are you going to find this kind of experience in the gaming industry. it is nice to move on, but still, good times.

>>9714424
I initially got it as an ISO from 3Dshooterlegends about 5-6 years ago, but last year I found a .zip with the mod on ModDB while looking for the Malice patch that fixes the missing parachute in one level
>I got no idea how to unlock Nightmare skill at startmap - guess the thing I planned will need to wait for now

I've spent FOREVER trying to fix the map one of the submitters gave to the Quake 2 25th anniversary collaborative UNIT (which also came in late further making the release pretty delayed...).
I had to completely redo a section of the map because it simply crashed whenever it loaded for some unknown reason.
At least I made a breakthrough right now by being able to connect two parts.
It only took a whole day of trial and error to figure out...
Let this be a lesson to everyone making maps:
Try your maps in more than one client, and never use the most souped-up and uncommon client for testing.
Use the clients that most people are using to play the game first, and forget about testing beyond that please.

>>9714562
>25th anniversary unit update right after I started playing Sonic Mayhem again
That's awesome

>>9714487
This angry midget is so damn annoying...

Just want to thank this thread as I have lurked for a few months and have not had a computer since 2012. Bought one and now I’m playing Ashes after hearing about if from you all and I absolutely love it. Going to play the Castlevania one next and the ones from you guys in the OP. God bless you all.

>>9714628
>unmarked secrets are a thing here
I honestly don't remember last time I've seen any

>>9714093
trying to make player skin for heretic

>>9714668
Which ones the Castlevania one?

>>9715001
Simon's Destiny, most likely.

Kartbros, 51.161.34.159
We need to test if the game is still fun or not.

I can't go back to playing consecutively anymore, guys. It feels like cheating now I've gone a while pistol starting everything. Carrying in 60+ shells, a super shotgun and a BFG with multiple shots ready into a map balanced around a certain weapon set and limited ammo is just wrong.

>>9715106
I'd do it with vanilla but I fucking hate the pistol. It's why I bake a pistol start option in all my mods.

>>9715108
Why don't you just make a pistol replacement that is vanilla in every other way?

>>9715138
Because I don't like making weapons that are bad for the sake of being bad.

>>9715062
Test results are inconclusive, we'll have to test more on Wednesday.

>>9715062
was something different?

>>9715228
Nope. I just wanted to play. In other news, I found some music to use in the next music pack. Not sure when it's gonna be finished though.

>>9714358
Post the pasta so I can get ready for next week.

>>9715232
sure thing

>Highly recommended to install the classics patch: https://dreamycecil.itch.io/sam-exe-patch if you haven't already. Adds a bunch of nice features like better resolution support and hud scaling. Make sure you grab the most recent TSE1.07 patch and after installing launch the game with "SeriousSam_Custom.exe"
>Go into the Scripts\NetSettings folder inside your main TSE directory and open up the DSLCable.ini file. Change "cli_iMaxBPS" to 1000000. Then when connecting to the server MAKE SURE YOU SELECT DSL/CABLE CONNECTION.
>Upon loading into the main menu, type: "/cli_iMaxPredictionSteps=4" (no quotes) into the console. You only have to do this once. If you encounter any problems with this setting then try changing it to a higher number up to around 10.

We were testing BoostFX at the start.

>>9714137
I like the alien anon.

In the words of Doc Mitchell, “Looking good so far.”

>>9703035
I'm late but Realms of Cronos looks amazing, that's next after I finish the GoldenSouls wads.

>>9714093

>>9715487
what the fuck, you're alive? Nice.

>>9715438
lmao nice

>>9715489
Shit, I appreciate that you remember me and my silly unfinished projects!

>>9715496
Of course I do. I remember when I was working on my HUD face stuff and you were doing the same thing.

>>9715498
Aww cool, of course I remember that! I basically just started picking this stuff up again last month, sort of a new years resolution of sorts.

Got a ton of help from zscript help from Agent Ash, now this stupid hud actually works like I wanted after all these years. Now I'm back to chipping more into this Blake Stonish game every night again.

Hell, I was still floored you pulled yours off with pure acs and animdef trickery. I went through your code again and it still seems like so much work and thought to do.

>>9715513
I'm gonna be honest when I say I don't think anyone should do the fucking criminal acts I've done to make all of that work, and I still have another 4 or 5 HUD faces like this to make in the future. I'm pretty certain I've permanently tainted my soul doing it, but man does it look good.

I think you made the right call getting someone else to set that shit up in Zscript.

>>9715517
Plus your hackery will always work in Zandronum and legacy Zdoom. Yours is one of my favorite huds to come out of the community too.

I'm considering eventually making the alt hud for mine overly cluttered with useless crap like Blake Stone had, but right now I'm FINALLY working on weapons and monsters.

>>9715534
Oh shit is that some brightmaps on the gun too? I take it she has a starting recharger pistol like Blake does as a fallback? Though hopefully not as useless as Blake's

>>9715540
Yea thanks to the nice tutorials I read, adding bright overlays was decently easy.

I'm considering the recharger pistol bolt as an alt fire for her standard pistol. It'll get level found upgrades like a charge shot and a stun shot too so that it stays relevant throughout. Maybe as a boss reward or something.

I also got this beam whip I need to start figuring out how to implement.

>>9703035
What mod is that? (not the maps)

>>9715498
I still wanna sexo the cute turret boi though

Don't worry. I'm a doctor.

Is there /VR/mondo for this year?

>>9714592
I still have no idea how it plays, but I'm just going to carve up the map until it works and release the UNIT. It will be open source so people can edit the .maps themselves.

>Have a few problems with Scythe, but get up to map 29 and call it a day because fuck trying map 30
>Go back to pistol starting Doom 2, should be easy
>Past map 8 I get BUTCHERED
What the fuck? I'm not kidding when I say I've played modern wads easier than this. I can only assume there are intended paths to take on some maps that I'm missing.
