OSKY32 looks fine there, but I was just thinking that it beong cloudy conflicts a little with the light from the windows in the Hell Knight hallway.
OSKY43 matches the colors well with the sector art areas, but arguably a different sky would be better for contrast. Maybe OSKY05 or 45 would do. I really wish OTEX had a sky with a more medieval urban area rather than modern, since that would be an obvious choice. It probably wouldn't go well with the sector art parts, however.

It really should be my job to pick one, but I'm busy for now, and OSKY32 looks brighter to me in that screenshot than my editor, so it's hard for me to very quickly judge them. For now at least I'm fine with any natural looking bright sky the project lead could assignt to it.

[Anonymous No.10074426]

>>10074420
No. Just that there's a lot to explore in regular Doom gameplay with making it so that the player can't kill all enemies. Look at Equinox MAP13 for what I mean: there's countless imps all over the tallest rings surrounding the arena, and it's impossible to reach and kill them. This makes them unkillable turrets that cannot be avoided throughout the entirety of the level, making a beautiful view with their fireballs. If the player could get there at any point to kill them, it'd ruin both the pacing and the aesthetic of the level.

>Both Doom mapper and players hate it for some reason.
It's hard to pull off because it entirely depends on the skill level.
Ammo starvation as intended by the mapper only works if the player is on the same skill level.
Better player, he has a surplus and calls the map too easy.
Worse player, gives up because hurf durf no ammo.

The true reason though is that most (modern) doom players just enjoy the carnage and are too dumb or inattentive to find their way out of a map that isn't strictly linear. No idea how it was before 2016, but make a sequence of arenas with OTEX and you'll always be better received than with a classical labyrinth map.

Replayability isn’t “too prideful”, it’s a reason to revisit a good map which I do often. Missing one or two secrets also isn’t enough to make me revisit the map, but it is fun to find secrets and content you missed the first time through.

If you do it it one big box, you might as well not VIS at all. Unless you've skip textured all your unseen geometry, you'll have a ton of extra faces that will make bsp and light compiling take way longer. That extra geometry combined with the excessive triangulation that Q1BSP makes can dramatically increase the likelihood of there being holes in the map.

Best practice on anything fairly complex is to make your map Quake 3 style with almost everything being func_detail, every non-visible brush face being SKIP, and structural boxes around each major room or area of the map.

>Dirty Foot Canyon
- Most monster teleporters seem to be broken (using dsda-doom, complevel 9). If I noclip there and wake up the monsters they'll get unstuck and eventually teleport, so the quickest fix might be to connect them to the main area with sound sectors, and extend the barriers in the closets so the monsters can't teleport before they're supposed to.
- Exit is kind of unexpected, maybe label the switches with exit signs. A proper exit room opened by these 3 switches would be better.
- Quite scarce on ammo, if you don't find the berserk secret you're fucked. An extra shell box or two would be nice.

- I don't know what this map is but I want more of it.
- The secret with the megaarmor is stupid, since the teleporter to get there is on the other side of the map, and you don't need it since there's a room with 4 of them nearby, plus a megasphere in the final fight.
>Bloody Seasons
- Maybe add a few teleporters to the pit so you aren't completely screwed if you fall in, especially since there's a few impassible linedefs (presumably to prevent you from walking around on the outside) which will unexpectedly bump you into the pit.
>Can I Slither In
- "Oh shit it's Hogwarts"
- Lots to explore and see, really enjoyed wandering around this one.
- Probably shouldn't have the default Doom 2 city skybox in the hedge maze area.
- It should be easier to backtrack from the final arena since right now the only way to do so is by noticing a 1-unit wide staircase.
- Finding the secrets took forever and that's why nobody else gets feedback today. I hope you're proud of yourself.

My point is that making a regular map expecting people to play it again just to find the minor differences needed for an UV-Max is dumb. If you design the encounters and layout well, another playthrough shouldn't be necessary. Obviously that doesn't apply to maps where there's an actual reason to replay them, like ones with multiple routes or featuring gimmicks that noticeably change the gameplay depending on your choices, because then players will be more encouraged to give them another spin because there's a reason intended by the author to do so.

>try to force gzdoom to render at that resolution
Since it has 50 different resolution settings and no one knows what they do, enable simple settings, select "Scaling options" (no, you are not allowed to expect display options to be under "Display options") and try to change pic related. Most likely it will still look like explosive diarrhea of mixels that should be banned by geneva convention, but that's your best bet with low resolution in gzdoom.
There's also "Vanilla Essence" mod for gzdoom that adjusts all the gorillion of undocumented settings for you and you might achieve slightly better results with it.

That's thanks to retarded idiots who are terrified of stepping anywhere remotely outside of their own comfort zone, and who are also very retarded. Some things are just edgy, and that's fine, sometimes good even, not all edge is a bad thing.

If you can make your edgy work interesting enough, be that by making it funny, cool, perhaps even thought provoking, but in overall compelling, the edge isn't wasted. The edgier something is, the harder it's going to be to execute it without you falling on your face and your work being eminently mockable, but just because something has edge doesn't mean it's automatically Donte.

Edgy/edge for me doesn't mean anything, edgy can mean cutting edge new ideas or overly pointlessly cruel ideas that can be described as miseryporn. I don't want Jackie to be miseryporn, I want her to a berserker cutting through hundreds of demons too pissed to die.
I want her powering up to be reptile brain smash rock into them and professionalism.
But on the topic of what is and isn't edgy: Nero from devil may cry for example was considered edgy for the longest time because he just cared about his girlfriend. This isn't even getting into characters like Caleb. So to me it usually means nothing, in fact I usually like edgy characters because they usually show a lot emotions and seem to really care, it's just I also know a lot people also didn't like Nero and also really hate Shadow.
>some kind of catharsis
Should Jackie, Hae-lin and Shihong, succeed she will probably still die but happy. Her wrath isn't just for her enemies, but herself in a way, she just won't think past that.

Only 2400, that's the maximum cap for one projectile. Initially I had it cap out at 4000 after developing the charge shot but it made killing bosses way too easy. As much as it's a bit unintuitive at first, the limitation ensures that the charge shot doesn't trivialize boss encounters while still being relevant for killing large groups of higher health enemies. It also makes sure that the non-charged shot is still useful for something once you end up fighting mostly large demons later in wads.
I was trying to find a way to communicate this fact to the player, but I couldn't really come up with anything. I might just rewrite the autistic weapon descriptions into small weapon guides instead because it would help with this.

One of the ideas was a cloud of particles that would grow or shrink depending on how much damage was wasted, but this might be a little more fun to implement.

I mean if I was going to write some lore for it that would basically be the explanation, if you added any more power to the projectile the gun would self-destruct or melt or something because it's just not designed to fire that much.

Almost. Needs bitmap brightmaps, like the ones GZDoom is using, for the overwhelming atmosphere and immersion and comf. But I don't believe it's possible with software rendering without rewriting a solid part of the engine, and it's obviously not worse it, at least not to the people competent enough to do that.
THE prefect port would be the one that runs EVERYTHING, i.e. all the GZDoom stuff on top of the faithful authentic port. Zscript, vulkan, 3d floors, lights, reflections, etc, etc, but written by a competent person from scratch. Not gonna happen in another 30-50 years.

The only thing Woof has over Nugget is performance. In 95% cases performance is not an issue when playing Doom on anything made in last 15 years. In 4% you can get comparable performance by disabling high res and other fluff. The remaining 1% is not enough to outweigh all the fluff Nugget offers.

The facts are mostly the same, the only difference is that Masters of Doom, to Romero's account, plays up the interpersonal friction between them quite a bit. Adrian didn't hate Tom Hall, as is heavily implied in Masters of Doom, for instance. That's the biggest difference. In the accounts. Romero's account is a little more detailed otherwise. I've just gotten to the doom era though, so we'll see if that remains true.
I did skip around a little to see what sorts of things are in there and there's a preface to the ion storm saga that says "hello to everyone who slipped to this part of the book". The keen-doom era is well covered elsewhere and this book is pretty much just an addendum to it. His early life is interesting to read about though.

I need help for my mod
what is the best way to balance a BFG replacement that is dps based instead of a single powerful blast?
can anybody help me?
the plasmagun replacement is an M16 and I set it to do 50 damage per bullet, the BFG replacement is an M134 big ass minigun that fires real fast and used the same high caliber ammo of the M16 (shared ammo pool with the plasmagun replacement) but Idk how to balance it
right now I set it to fire 3 rounds at a time dealing 50 damage each and actually consume 3 rounds at a time
but Idk if this is good enough
I could set it to do 75 damage fire 1 bullet and use 1 ammo per shot instead? but I am afraid that would invalidate using the plasmagun replacement altogether

[Anonymous No.10077429]

I set the spread of the plasmagun replacement to 1 so that would be good to deal with single or a few high threat targets and be relatively ammo efficient since it consumes only 1 round per shot
the BFG replacement the big ass minigun I set it to 3 spread and it would basically be the panic weapon to take out when you have really a lot of dangerouns shit and no place to take cover and shit will need to get dead real fast or you die
as it is now it occupies the part of emergency panic room cleaner
still good to use to dps a cyberdemon or a spoder real fast if they are the only target present

Holy shit I just figured it out. Four barrels, fire and pull, fire and pull, the end of the gun rotates to switch barrels, hitting the last barrel rotates the entire mechanism back to the first barrel, ammo already regenerated because fuck you that's why, just like the dual revolvers in Serious Sam.

This is on the pulse of what I want however. Ever played Onimusha 2? When enemies die, you have to press circle to absorb their souls for currency and for this special soul meter for the protagonist's devil trigger. Enemies die? Their souls float around, you absorb their souls to replenish your strength. You can gain a surplus of health as well.

Revolvers like that existed, too. Not the most common thing, but if you look around for them, there's quite a few. Cylinder has two rows of chambers so you can have more shooty in rooty tooty, almost like double stacked magazines for automatic pistols but a century earlier.

Most of them seem to be Belgian, and most appear to be pinfire cartridge guns, which was this early and weird metallic cartridge which had a big market presence in Europe for a relatively short while, and basically nowhere else in the world. The primer is hidden inside of the case and a little tube with a firing pin juts out the side, which the hammer of your gun strikes. Here's one which holds 21 rounds.

It's fun seeing esoteric and exotic weapons akin to these in vidya, even if Shelly's is more reserved, at least aesthetically.

I don't remember when realms deep runs, but I gotta get the boxes done first either way. Takes my mill about 2 hours to run one, so I can do around 3 a day. Then I spend an indeterminate amount of time over the next days cleaning them up with an exacto blade. Then I sand them, then stain, then seal, which is by necessity two separate days. And I also have to find the time to do all this.
Also it's like 90+ degrees outbright now and I don't want to overheat the computer running the mill.
So it might be a little while before they're all done anyway.
Then I gotta print cds/cases and maybe stickers.
Anyway, it'll be a bit. They end up about the size of a standard mini big box. Little bigger than a DVD profile. Dunno if it counts as a "big box" but to my knowledge it'll be the only game with one carved out of wood. Probably wrong about that but whatever.

- Uses a Doom II sky which doesn't wrap vertically, which is clearly visible when you're at the red key. Best change it to a sky which does wrap vertically.
- After picking up the red key way too many spectres spawn and you have to spend 5 minutes punching them out or waste all your ammo.
- The archvile-pillars room is a neat idea, but doomguy's randomly bouncy physics make it really frustrating. I had more deaths in this room than any other encounter in the project. It'd probably help a ton to make the pillars squares instead of circular so the physics are less wonky.
- There are a few groups of revenants with ambush flags set, positioned around the corner which encourages the player to wake them up one by one to kill them, which is pretty safe but also tedious. It's probably better to use sound-blocking lines and have them wake up all at once once you fire a shot in the area.
- The little area with the yellow key took me forever to find. Maybe put the key in plain view instead of around the corner, or change the wall textures so the gap stands out more.

> I'm missing some context here
The context is that Outis screams liar and deceiver within the first seconds of meeting her, literally constantly giving hints that she's a war criminal and that her record is the only record that warns you to not look into her past. She literally gives you the name: "Nobody."
Thus a lot of the map was designed to be short but with little misdirection to lull the player to be surprised by the short finale.
Basically if you kept saying:

Maybe we can convince him to "write a map", so that we can use that sacred text to make an actual new Petersen map?.. Honestly, it sounded more logical and funny in my head than now.
Also, forgot to mention it in the previous reply... Manual would be too much of a hussle, yeah? It's probably much easier to get another CD for the soundtrack or just fit it in with the game's installer. Key art poster can also work, now that I think about it.

There's an extra, unused basic button input in QuakeC that most people think was meant to be for interaction (and you can re-implement it easily with a basic traceline from the player's view to trigger the 'use' function on something).

Last few waifu maps:
>Eto
- I feel like combat would be more engaging if everything was scaled down to half its size. Right now you have these giant rooms and you can just run around everything.
- Unlabeled exit, take a sip.
- Quite a comfy map to hunt secrets and non-secrets in, somehow.
- The walkover line in the icy area raising the platform leading to the blue armor is ridiculously subtle though.
>Boop-Oop-a-Doom
- Really like this one.
- Probably should add a way to get back from the brown ledge West of Betty. I jumped on there from the exit platform to kill the final monsters on that side. You can technically cross on the South side but it doesn't seem intended.
>Red Boat
- The first part of the map could use a bit more health, a few extra stimpacks here and there. There's a ton of hitscanners and almost no health recovery.
- Not sure what you're doing with your waifu's hair, but in the cyberdemon arena there seem to be a bunch of hall-of-mirror gaps in the floor. I'm also getting lots of framedrops here and during the final fight.
- Here's also a sky texture not wrapping vertically (in the area before the final fight). Maybe that's a dsda-doom thing?

[Anonymous No.10080695]

>>10080685
>Half-Genie in a Bottle
- I really like how you build a layout this vertical with the waifu sectors. Probably the best waifu sector usage of the project.
- The fight on Shantea's face is a lot harder than it seems. A really devious combination of hard hitting enemies, limited health, and pinkies blocking your path at every opportunity.
- The secret teleporter leading to the arachnotron ledge should really not be too tall to step on, that's just annoying.
- I'd consider this a good final map since it has that epic climactic feel to it.

Regarding map order, right now it seems like most of the beginner-mapper maps are in the first episode. Maybe it's an idea to spread those a bit more. They also tend to be pretty short and breezy so it might be a good idea to put them inbetween longer maps.

That's it. Hopefully my comments/suggestions are useful.

are you using dsda on opengl rendering? i actually have no idea how to fix it.
theres a bunch of loose linedefs inside the hair sector (i kinda need them to teleport the cyberdemons later). i tried turning them into sectors but it doesnt affect the holes.
this doesn't happen with gzdoom. iirc i tried using different node builders, but i could try again.
>there's also a sky texture not wrapping vertically (in the area before the final fight). Maybe that's a dsda-doom thing?
i also gave up on this, it seems otex sky textures simply dont vertically wrap. what can you do.

the climb all the way to the first elevator for a measly 2 stimpacks is a bit brutal but it's right at the beginning of the map so you can just restart if things are going terribly
maybe instead of hp pickups there could be more clips so you don't have to count every pistol bullet picking off the chaingunner on the opposite cliff?

[Anonymous No.10080757]

My lil bro (9yo) is playing doom 1 for the first time, and he just beat the cyber demon. We're using led's generic weapon mod since I think going vanilla would be too boring for him. It's a good mod, the only thing I don't like about it is the plasma rifle's alt fire, which is a rail gun and doesn't fit in a lot with doom IMO. He's having a lot of fun, apparently.

I just ran past the last few hitscanners there and killed them at the very end.
It's not too bad if you know about the secret with the soulsphere and green armor at the start. Not finding any secrets however, the map felt really stingy with health up until you get past the yellow door.
Maybe it's an idea to move the green armor out of the secret and onto the main path. That'd already help a lot. But it's up to you.

I never figured out how to get the megasphere on the ship either by the way.

Historically speaking they're somewhat obscure, again, they never caught on outside of Europe. Most of it pertained to a Belgian family of gunsmiths, Lefaucheux, a dynasty almost, father and son, and then the son after this, the elder who devised the concept and built up a pretty solid little business empire out of it.
You can sometimes find old pinfire revolvers and rifles in North America, but they typically got there coming with a European who emigrated over back in those days, or a later collector who imported it because it was interesting.

It also gets interesting when you look at the Americans specifically, because during the Civil War there was lots of experimentation with self-contained cartridges and breech-loaded rifles for cavalry troops (loading a musket when riding on horseback is extremely cumbersome), some of these were really brilliant, while others less so, and this was while you could find the fairly practical pinfire solution in Europe.
Funnier is that American inventors soon arrive at the much superior rimfire and centerfire cartridges which remain standard today, but that this gets mildly kneecapped with handguns for a while because Smith & Wesson managed to secure the exclusive patent rights to the concept of a revolver cylinder with bored through chambers. Ergo where you can load in a cartridge from the rear end (something which Lefaucheux had been doing in Europe for decades, mind), so people either have to license that from them, hope they get away with violating the patent, or they come up with ridiculous as fuck workarounds such as the front-loaded "teatfire" cartridge.

I'd love to do a .wad set in the 1860s or something, with old and weird weapons like these, and they have slow reloading so you have to rely a lot on weapon switching and melee attacks, including a quick saber slash, akin to Duke's mighty boot.

lol, no, they'd go in the other way, the titty part enters the chamber from the front, and then then nipple has something like mercury fulminate or some other priming compound which the hammer crushes and which then sets off the powder, the rim on the front of the cartridge was to make sure it wouldn't slide back further in than intended. Teatfire actually worked fairly well as far as ridiculous workarounds to the Rollin White patent goes, people got up to way weirder bullshit.
For the Alt-F4 revolver there, you'd actually be loading in teatfire cartridges from the 'rear' almost like a normal gun, if it was designed for such ammunition.

Projectiles would add up to too much bullshit.
>hitting monsters you didn't know were there
>getting hit by something you really should have dodged
Melee attacks by enemies originally worked as a really short range hitscan attack, and you can see that in the first retail versions, but it meant that sometimes pinkies could miss and start infights with other monsters and they didn't want that (maybe because they'd also infight each other), hence the setup we have where it only checks horizontal distance.

For players and monsters themselves not intersecting, I figure it's to try to save a little bit on computing power for other things, and because it just isn't particularly necessary or relevant in the original levels. There's very little verticality going on in the original maps, and they probably figured it wasn't a big deal if you couldn't swoop under a caco or leap over a pinky for the occasion that it could make sense.

God damn I love and hate Hexen so much.
The atmosphere, the visuals, the aesthetic, the weight and look and feel of the levels all feels so glorious, but god damn those fucking "puzzles". It mostly just comes down to "which of these 13 levels did I miss a switch on?"

Hexen really needs a refresh. Not a full remake, keep all the original assets, just tune it up. You shouldn't have to go into any levels off the Seven Portals hub more than twice each, as a baseline example. Streamline things, improve the pacing. De-sandbagify the more irritating enemies.

I'm playing Wrath of Cronos (3.14) now and it's a pretty good improvement on the combat. Liking it more than Hexen RPG or Brutal Hexen (barf). There's elite enemy types, e.g. ettin commanders, flame dragons, etc, but a more enjoyable change seems to be randomly reducing many centaurs to alternate enemies that are either weaker or more aggressive without the mandatory "you're not allowed to fight right now" shield windows. Ifrits are still a pain in the ass as Warrior, now with elemental variants, but all the base Hexen weapons are improved (the axe can be thrown), and you get the Heretic Dragon Claw at the end of Seven Portals so that's handy. The addition of experience levels and skills adds lots of carrots to go for and makes combat, even secret levels, a lot more fun since it isn't just a pure meaningless waste of resources now. I've been getting gold coins out the ass but haven't found a shop yet, lol. Maybe it's a menu option I overlooked or something. Found tons of "chest keys", but only one chest ever. The attribute stats all feel pretty good and meaningful, without being too overpowered.

IMO it's good that we have a modern source-port devoted to accuracy, even if most of the time everyone would rather play something else. I disagree with the notion that there should only be one "ultimate" source port, i'd rather a toolkit so each one can focus on a singular vision.

There's a good list on the MBF21 compatbility page on the Doom Wiki, but I'm noobish enough not to recognize most of them beyond Eternity and FDWL. That being say, Odamex I know but mostly associate with Deathmatch. I'll look into trying that with co-op this weekend

Doom, Quake, and Half-Life must have been some of the most high value games ever put to market based on their extensive modding scenes.

It's value + actual existence of modding tools, which themselves were often open source thus enabled the creation of even better tools that fuel content creation for decades to come. There have been plenty of great games that have absolutely zero mods (barring shitty texture replacements or something) because there is just no way to mod them without literally whipping out a hex editor and fucking about for a few years until you halfway reverse-engineer the game (see: Mass Effect).

There was a fun one in Preacher's fifth map

Put it in a place where it's unkillable for a good chunk of the map, optionally on a raised platform or enclosed area so enemies can't get stuck inside it.

Sitri's Unrattled map has a good roaming Mastermind fight. Would recommend checking it out.
