has anyone used SoundCanvas VA?
I've seen people claiming that it's totally accurate to the real thing. I've tried hooking it up to GZDoom and Nugget via vstmididrv, and it just crashes the game when I select it as output.
I can successfully hook it up to foobar (both as a separate plugin and as "secret sauce"), it opens config, it plays songs, but it sounds wrong. I'm assuming it's because it's doing SC-88, but changing GS/GM2/GM or 55/88 in its console has no effect.
I've tried EDIROL Virtual SC, and that one works much better and sounds the way I would expect SC VA to sound. the problem with that one is that it lacks certain samples, so some synth-heavy custom midis just have basic placeholder piano playing.

Hopefully optimistic. The game had some good ideas at base, and hypothetically could use its enemy/weapon roster to build some nice encounters. Halfway reliant on movement, halfway reliant on stunlocking, eating a hit is actually crippling. Forced out a nice dance.
But map navigation in the version I played like 2-3 years ago was TERRIBLY unintuitive, and it spammed way too many enemies at you for the amount of ammo you were given without secrets, so the key to winning was just to run past everything because there's no fucking point in gunning down 120 Über Cacodemons at a snail's pace as you collect ammo from their corpses individually and use it to gun down the next one.

If every single game on a particular engine is terrible, do you reckon that's the engine's fault, or the developers' fault for reusing too much of the framework from the first game built on it?

Speculation and facts incoming: Killpixel was heading the project at first, but then he lost passion (some people like to stir up shit and say he was ousted but no he just gave up the ghost). I imagine when he left Wrath, 3D Realms considered canning the project and during that time nothing was done. They brought some people on to do some mappan, but none of them have vision they're just brought on to finish a job. Too many cooks situation. Then the project seemingly gets expanded what with them creating new assets even now, further dragging out development. 3DR also recruited even more mappers from the community as other ones dropped out, further dragging out development since you gotta track the guys down, hire them, get the tax forms ready, etc. Combine this with the fact that you're mapping for a decades old engine whose maps need to be compiled every time you do something meaningful so you can make sure it looks good and you have a recipe for a shit dev cycle. I'm sure if 3DR cared to, they could say
>Nah, cut the cord. Two episodes
But they want to make sure the whole thing gets done. I still maintain the worst thing this project did was making a video game on an old engine. UE5 wasn't out in 2019, but 4 was and it was still completely free then. Unity was around too. There's no reason to hamstring your developers with old tech if new tech will make the job easier.

I think part of the point of the project was to provide a familiar modding platform without Q1 limitations. in that sense, it would have been worth it even with zero new levels, just the full bestiary and devkit. meanwhile the same thing on UE4 would have just been kind of disposable in comparison, same way I feel about HROT or Amid Evil.
for whatever reason, there still isn't a single retro-revival FPS with steam workshop support. I just find that fact insane. fucking Turok of all things has one, but not Ion Maiden, Dusk, Wrath? the normie hype is going to come and go and nobody will have managed to deliver on a proper devkit? in what, 10 years? how?
but anyway, yeah, a year or two ago I said that KP "taking a vacation" means he doesn't see the game coming out for years, and here we are.

It was the usual suspects that do things like gender bender ghost busters and and go against cannon. I bet somebody lost a lot to a rail gun user and that's the only reason why.

>Speculation and facts incoming: Killpixel was heading the project at first, but then he lost passion (some people like to stir up shit and say he was ousted but no he just gave up the ghost).
That's not as off from what I've allegedly heard. Basically, I believe it was a mix of burnout and issues with mental health and family life. KillPixel has been working on WRATH by himself (or his wife; I think she was also involved in some capacity, but can't recall specifics) since like... 2013? He might've talked about it at In The Keep... or Quakecast? Can't check at the moment.

>There's no reason to hamstring your developers with old tech if new tech will make the job easier.
I think it was more about staying true to KillPixel's vision and DarkPlaces being a part of that. After all, he's still like offering some advice or something.

They are really generous with ammo and armor in the Call of the Machine campaign in the Quake 2 remaster. Also seems like they knew the turrets were not a popular enemy so they were only used for one set piece.

They can complicate things when other enemies are present. They're already basically pinkies in that regard and now they can put you in a bad position. Also someone felt that they needed to kill you much more easily around death puts and lasers I guess?

So now the railgun does the exact same damage as a rocket launcher but with half the firing rate and no splash damage despite it being the second to last weapon you find.
The rocket launcher can potentially do 20 more points of damage than a rail with a direct hit and even the splash damage alone can do more (up to 112) so it's even worse than what I just described. So why would I ever use the railgun now when the rocket launcher is just the better option? Splash damage is a downside to the rocket launcher so maybe use the railgun as a close range alternative? Well the super shotgun does 20 more damage per shot and has a faster firing rate AND has more common ammo so no.

So how about using it to pick off weaker enemies at a distance/on higher ground? well you've already got the machine gun for that and its easier than ever to use since you removed the recoil plus it has common ammo. I just did the math and the nerfed railgun can do 3800 damage a minute. The machine gun on the other hand? It does 4800 lol! They took the second best gun in the game and butchered it to the point where it's only better than the blaster and regular shotgun. Unbelievable.

I can understand why you would want people to use other weapons but the solution is not to make one weapon useless. Just leave its 150 damage alone and cut the ammo pickup down from 10 to 5.

>> No.10166097

>>10166064
It's even worse than you think when you account for other changes in the game. Enemies can see you from much further away, and get chain-aggroed much easier (outside of some intentional ambush points). This means you're pretty much completely cucked out of the railgun's stealth attack bonus unless an enemy is facing his back to you in some setpiece moment.
Enemies are also more aggressive and close the gap much faster than before, so the long-distance hitscan advantage gets nullified pretty quick.
Overall there's not much point to the railgun now unless you're really lacking for ammo on other weapons, or you can consistently line up multiple enemies in an encounter (like rooms with two or more tanks).

Transparent surfaces now also transmit lighting according to the Bethesda technical blogpost, which is probably why forcefields don't light properly until rebuilt.

After 2 levels I have come to the conclusion that Blake Stone sucks.
It's Wolfenstein, but literally everything looks the same, whether it be a wall, enemy, or interactable.
And everything takes forever to kill with there being no hit feedback.
And the audio cues suck so you don't know where you're being shot from.
And there's SEVERE ammo starvation plus a unit that has a 75% chance of turning coat and shooting at you at random, which wouldn't be a problem if you weren't expected to conserve ammo and could mow them down indiscriminately, but no.
And enemies just come out of the woodwork without making any sound whatsoever.
And everything looks the same.
And you're slower without the means of mouse strafe boosting.
And everything looks the same.
And nothing flows intuitively.
And the mouse input sucks.
And because the enemies don't die in a timely manner they have a higher chance of getting off a total bullshit damage shot.
And you can't see shit, because everything looks the same.

So basically everything that made Wolf 3D work and fun to play despite its simplicity and RNG element got thrown out the window and you're left with only garbage. Wow.

That would have been gross. I can see a BFG10k nerf being similarly “justified” to make the hyperblaster “more appealing.”
Encouraging “more weapon use” can also be done through buffs. I would have rather seen the shotgun and grenade launcher be buffed than dissuading people from using better weapons. I also wouldn’t be upset with a railgun ammo nerf or for maximum blasphemy a reduction to its range: I used it most when I needed fat damage to hit multiple fatpooled enemies that are all up in my face.

Yeah, as long as you pay attention to the signage throughout the level and what button popups tell you has unlocked it's pretty easy to navigate compared to the vanilla maps. A few parts are a bit cryptic still, but not overly-so.

Mouse movement was always my preferred way of playing Wolf 3D. Moving and aiming with the arrow keys lacked the precision I got with just the mouse, especially aiming. Wallpeaking with mouse only by scraping up against a corner or jiggle peaking by holding down the alt key and moving the mouse left and right both felt way more intuitive than the alternative. Only time I used arrow keys for movement was in combination with mouse movement + sprint to go lightning fast.

Can't place:
Trap: instant kill but most larger enemies are immune
Tesla Mine: ?

The pre-nerf Railgun sits at the #9 spot out of 18 weapons a.k.a. right in the middle (#6 out of 11 without expansion weapons), a mid-tier weapon yet it was deserving of a nerf for some reason? This is made even more absurd by the fact that ALL THREE of the top 3 weapons in the game GOT BUFFED. Why? WHY?! The ridiculousness doesn't end because the nerfed Railgun sits at the #13 spot (#8 out of 11 without expansion weapons, this is absolutely insane!). The nerfed RG is only better than the ammo-less emergency weapons and "starter" guns which get superior versions later such as the Super Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Chaing-hey wait a minute...The nerfed Railgun is WORSE than the Machinegun, a starter weapon that gets an upgrade in the form of the Chaingun.

So the nerfed RG isn't even better than the intentionally crappy guns despite formerly being a power weapon meant to take on the most dangerous tanky enemies in the game. It's the second to last weapon you find, when top tier enemies become much more commonplace, yet it gets outpaced by one of the first guns you find which gets an upgraded version later on. A mid tier weapon nerfed to the point where it's one of the worst weapons in the game while top tier weapons like the BFG, Chaingun and Hyperblaster GOT BUFFS! This is not game balance!

It doesn't have strafe jumping either. Zipping around levels at mach speed is a huge part of the appeal to me for Quake and removing strafe jumping just makes the levels feel like a slog in comparison to the other campaigns. All it's used for is speeding up level traversal, why remove it?

not how crouch jumps work
sometimes you crouch briefly before jumps to increase height or rocket force, then let go, then hold it again to further increase height/get over ledges
thumb resting on space means it hits jump first always and has to bend inward to hit alt crouch, awkward maneuver, less control, poorer timing, just all around sucks ass

I want to make huge Quake maps in the vein of AD now, just playing this game I have so many idea in my head for any possible game I'd dev in the future.
How hard would it be for someone with zero modding experience(beyond one month of fucking around in Medieval 2 to produce an infantry version of a Calvary unit for my brother who really wanted it)?

Also, is Alkaline also the lower map count but each map is huge kind of its own episode approach or the standard FPS multi maps approach?
Also, are there any melee focused TCs for Quake?
I fear that playing Quake and AD might have ruined FPSs going forward because I'll now expect everything to have Quake's movement and AD's huge maps, just playing a bit of Turbo Overkill the other day I've already started comparing it to AD in my mind.

>> No.10169149

Every video I've seen of the Turok series makes it looks pitifully easy. Are there difficulty settings? Is there a difficulty setting that you can't steamroll through? Are there mods that make it more than just going through the motions?
Maybe I'm misguided and have only seen people play perfectly, and it's actually hard. Don't think so though.
I guess what I'm asking is, should I even bother downloading it if I genuinely cannot stomach games where everything deals chip damage or is super easy to avoid?

>How hard would it be for someone with zero modding
I mean, modding experience isn't really relevant unless you want to code your own progs with custom monsters or weapons and shit. Mapping for Quake is about as easy as it gets for a fully-3D game, and there's a fairly comprehensive tutorial series on YouTube for it.
Start small though. Figure out what works and what doesn't before going to make big stuff. It's easy to get annoyed at mapping by little things like curves and trims before you learn how to do them quickly (or have enough stuff lying around that you can just copy/paste where you need at a whim).

>> No.10169208

>>10169149
The thing with Turoks enemies is that to make the game harder they just make them move faster. So the hardest difficulty enemies run around so fast it looks silly like an old black and white Charlie Chaplin film.

The combat isn't even the real appeal of turok. It's the exploration and even the puzzles and platforming. Nobody would really put Turoks combat up there with the greats. I mean, it's fine and it's fun but it's not the main "thing". It's why half the team went on to make metroid prime

You run away from it, taking as many sharp turns as you can and running as many rooms back as you need to until you hear it exploding on a nearby wall. Also you do not wait for the projectile to get near you before you start running. As soon as the vore shoots you get out of there, do not prioritize shooting the vore. The further away the projectile is from you, the easier for you to lose it.
If going back is not possible, like in E2M6, stay close to cover and go behind it quick when the vore attacks. Like, don't even wait for the shot, hide as soon as the attack animation starts.

On nightmare? You don't, unless there's another monster to lure the Vorepod into to entice a precious aggro duel.
Also anyone can explain fully how does the Vore's projectile actually work? I had a couple of instances where attacking the Vore during its in-fighting duel with another enemy made their missile switch from targetting the aggro'd monster back to me mid-flight. And I noticed that if they get fired without you in sight, the Vorepod keeps going straight unless the projectile itself spots you (and not the monster who fired it) - which then starts homing onto your location as usual.

Yes. Aliens of Gold is basically unplayable on account of absurd HP scaling and no hitstun. Planet Strike is an improvement, enough to be worth considering over Wolf3D at least.

>Don’t know about Q3 to 2 and I don’t know where to start.
There's probably some manual tinkering to be had; I know Blender has import/export plugins for both mdl and md3 formats.
Q3 character models are divided into legs, torso and head meshes, so that they can lean back/forward as you aim up-down. You'd need to join these into one model that (probably) only aims forward.
Also IIRC Q1 models can only have one skin at a time, while Q3 models often use separate textures for different parts of the model. So you'd need to concatenate those into a single texture map, make sure it converts to a Q1 palette (without conversion artifacts like the odd fullbright pixel) and adjust the model's UVs to match the new texture.
I don't think there's a vertex limit on Q1 models, but if there is you might want to painstakingly reduce the polycount by hand.
Also you'd have to give up on Q3's cool new shaders but that goes without saying.
All in all I think it's possible and someone probably has done it at some point.

It's basically just a backend from my understanding.

thing is about me is that im a masochist when it comes to shooters, but i have a preference of having a few powerful, aggressive enemies placed in advantageous positions over just having a bunch of enemies at once. GZ's enemy behaviors enhances the former, and i like having to re-adapt to the threat of having enemies instantly being on my ass. but i think with CotM's higher enemy count and at times slaughter-like encounter design that kind of behavior wouldve made things feel unfair. having GZ aggression would be a great option for old-school content.

This isn't some sort of exclusive club, we make shit because we want to, and some people are part of that, others aren't. If some people like a commercial product, they just will, I like some while I hate others. Virtually every modern """boomershooter""" (dryheaved a little there), looks like extremely boring and bland games, I've yet to be drawn in by any.

I haven't played the Q2 Remaster yet, but from what I can tell it does some cool things I like, such as making the enemy AI much more mean, and adding muzzleflashes, but it also does others which I like less, like nerfing the Railgun very hard when it already gets nerfed by default from the changes in AI, or replacing the original soundtrack. I very much dislike the last two changes and they're weighing against it, and I don't think a small boost in the Railgun's damage is enough of a fix.

Before some twatface chimes in, I shouldn't really have to use a mod to fix an aspect of gameplay which was already working properly before they fucked with it.

Oh there's definitely paid shills on 4chan, but they don't come around that much on /vr/ in comparison to elsewhere, most of them go to big boards with larger and more current commercial interests, such as /v/, /tv/, /pol/, and /co/.
I'm sure a few are set loose here on the board with any big company release of some old product, and you get some smaller company shilling for various niche products (the Retron5 comes to mind, if anyone remembers), but you should see how shamelessly companies like Ubisoft shill on /v/, it's absolutely disgusting, and it's actually a pretty big part of why that board is so bad.

Jaska poured all his depression, agony and traumas into a wad form. The wad is a story based walking simulator /puzzle.

Jaska howerer has every right for his expression, but I'm slightly disappointed because I expected Lost Civilizaton's sequel.

Known bugs and other issues
- centurion hoverboard light rings are visible before they are summoned, especially when above them
- centurions still drop ammo even tho I wanted them not to. they're also not good at following but that's just quake so whatever
- monster sword corpses do not fall to the ground
- sometimes trigger teleports do not work and the player gets killed by the void
- the map is meh overall and the compile times reached 1 hour so I am tired of it

>Lost Civilization 2 is heavy shit
NTA, I played the first 4 maps, out of the 7 maps in total on hard with its custom enemies. It's crap.

The maps are much less detailed because GZDoom performs like dogshit if there's more than a couple 3D floors and 3D models in a detailed environment. Meaning the maps look worse, and not in a particularly stylish way to make up for that.
The combat is awful; the maps are overly stingy with ammo and health, and it autosaves in a terrible spots, where I had barely any health and only some shitty grenades as a weapon. This happened twice throughout my playthrough.
The maps are buggy, script commands show up in the messages, some models lack collision, sometimes when the walls blow up they don't make a sound.
There's a poor inventory system as most of the items can't be used and it gets cluttered fast. The hud doesn't show the ammo count for some of the new weapons.

The message is not deep at all, this is dumb edgy crap I've seen a thousand times before. The message shouldn't come at a cost of good gameplay either.
Jaska shouldn't have called this Lost Civilization 2, this is just a cheap call for attention.

The hallmark of a shit FPS is how the strafe keys don't interact with each other properly.

Do A & D cancel eachother out if you hold both at the same time, making smashing both simultaneously halt your movement on a dime? GOOD!

Does holding A, and then holding D without letting go of A, change your strafe direction from left to right? And then if you let go of D again, you resume strafing left? And vice versa? ALSO GOOD!

Does holding A, and then holding D without letting go of A, STILL make you continue left, instead of overriding it to go right or halt movement? And somehow, inexplicably, if you hold D first, and then hold A, it overrides and changes directions or halts movement correctly? Or the inverse of this, so only one direction change has reliable input? COMPLETE FUCKING SHIT!

KexQuake(II) falls into the third category. Literally babby's first shovelware Unity game type fuckup, in a game with established movement tech. Shows how much they care or play the things they see fit to meddle with (zero).

Well, that was certainly a very unique, albeit rather confusing map.
I won't make too many artistic critiques, but a few things stuck out to me:
>candles and torches should probably have a flickering light style applied
>other light styles could be used to make certain rooms feel a bit more dramatic while you're fighting enemies
>the outdoor area is prone to black monster syndrome (pic related) which can be solved by making your skybox brushes into a func_group and giving them a '_minlight' value (between 200 and 300 might be good)
>more indication of where to go might be helpful, even if just breadcrumbing with enemies or text hints upon reaching certain points
Otherwise that's a pretty neat map, and I'll try to fix those bugs you listed.
>sometimes trigger teleports do not work and the player gets killed by the void
I haven't looked at your .map file, but you may need to make several smaller teleport triggers instead of one big one. Very large triggers tend to act weird in general. Also make sure they extend a fair bit above the void trigger.
>the compile times reached 1 hour so I am tired of it
If VIS is the issue, you could probably make damn near everything between the skybox brushes into func_details.
>traps are loud
I believe the spike shooter traps have a spawnflags that makes them silent. You could set that on most of them, spacing out the ones that still make noise.
>sometimes items dropped by monsters fall out of the level. and maybe all this scavenging isn't such a good idea in the end, I dunno
I'll try to fix that, but there might just not be a good way of doing it with Quake 1's fucky colission. Still, it's probably a good idea to not have drops on enemies unless you've made them visually distinct, or otherwise special in a way that's obvious to the player.

Playing Q2 N64 for the first time, I'm really loving the spaceship/spacestation-themed levels. The original game only had a couple of those and they were always my favorite so the fact that I get more is great.
Although I do now notice that The Reckoning and Ground Zero borrowed some areas from Q2 N64.

Right, black monsters. I put some extra lights outside for them but they didn't really work. Thanks for the fix idea, I'll see to it tomorrow. I'll also make smaller triggers, some of those are as long as the map itself.
Also it being confusing is a bit on purpose. It's supposed to encourage exploration, since multiple paths can be taken (and if you know the map you can finish it while skipping about half of it really - if you can just make do with the super nailgun, I never actually tested the idea, maybe I should). But I'll see what I can think of about making the main path more obvious.
The traps are loud thing was a joke.

Yeah it's pretty great. It's like a gauntlet of grinders meant to destroy you.

I've never really worried about fancy brushwork, just that I feel the idea is portrayed adequately and the combat is good, both of which are met here. I think the only map I've ever kind of disliked is that one in the Zerstorer jam with the zombies and the arena fight in a dark cave, and that's ONLY because the water pit in the middle can catch fiends that can't get out so it's annoying.

Smacking an enemy causes a brief chainsaw-like effect where the teeth catch into the flesh, pulling the player's camera and dealing damage with each tic having a chance for hitstun a la Doom. Range is ever so slightly increased, and damage per slash goes from 35 to ~60, meaning that it can now kill guards in 1 hit, enforcers/infantry in 2, and gunners in 3 instead of 5. Trying to use it is still suicidal, but now it has some purpose if you want to hide behind corners.
