Working on it. I sent my artist refs for everything I need for Kustam, and I'm gonna be doing some playtesting with him today/tonight. Also need to send him over to a few friends for more input.

There's a fan fix for the original Vista release, Project Cartographer. I don't know what it does(if anything) to fix the campaign. The tickrate in every Halo 2 port is fucked up and causes enemies to be way more aggressive.

Honestly, the Quake 2 Remaster turned my opinion on Quake 2 in general into very positive. I had actually played Quake 2 og again JUST before the Remaster released but redoing the main game in Remaster with the music that was previously absent from Steam version, the better monster behavior and the two VERY SOLID expansion packs, I enjoyed it very much!

>> No.10927713

>>10927684
My big thing was getting people exposed to more “realized” enemy behavior beyond base game AI shenanigans, and across all campaigns. The switch speeds and lightmaps also help to make it appealing.
I only wish I could more customization over weapon/enemy settings.

The funny thing is, even if the traces weren't combined into a single damage tick it wouldn't matter due to how enemies in Quake briefly stay solid after they die. You have to code your own, dead monster ignoring, trace loops to get around it.

Was going through NightFright compilation of Duke3d maps and mods. Vast majority either don't work on Raze or is amateur crap. Still found a few really good ones.

Death Drive is what can happen if you mix Roch-like levels with Plutonia-like gameplay. It is not as intricate as Roch and not as tight as Plutonia, but influence of both are very clear. Because I really like both Roch and Plutonia - quite enjoyed the first 2 levels of Death Drive, can recommend.

Are there any original games (not mods, remakes, or total conversions) that feel anything like Blood in terms of gameplay mechanics? I've never played a game with explosives as nice as Blood's.
In more recent times, Ion Fury has been pretty good as a spiritual successor to Build-engine games as a whole, and Blood DNA is evident in its design, but it's not too much like Blood.

>I really disliked BJ in Samsara. His weapons felt very underwhelming there.
Samsara gets a few critical points wrong, plus Doom's enemy roster is ill-suited to his weapons. Wolf3D is a super fast paced game with really snappy movement and that's totally lost on Samsara, between the "Wolf3D movement" option not supporting mouse movement, his weapons being stripped of their damage mechanics so there's no reward for playing close to enemies, and Doom's enemies simply having way more HP and less pain chance than Wolf's.

Honestly didn't feel like it, but time flies I guess. Seeing that bar right under 94 Protons really puts things in perspective... and is personally embarrassing.
Between Malice Refined and starting a FTE engine game with some friends, I can't really pretend to still have any real motivation or interest in the project. There have been a couple map submissions, and it seems at least 2 anons are still working on maps, but it might be best for them to just release on their own with the VR2 devkit since I can't honestly promise anything else.
That being said, newspost anon can take VR2 out. I've put some project files for various unfinished things like gif related, her dagger, and the plasma cannon model up on the mega folder under 'useful stuff' if anyone wants them. Some stuff was closer to completion that others.

I really do apologize to anyone who participated. I'll gladly help if anyone needs assistance packaging the devkit with their map(s), but I don't think anything else will be happening with the project for the foreseeable future.

Literally what the fuck man. How are you supposed to manage that huge fight where the walls lower with like 5 Viles and something like 2 or 3 Pains on top of everything else? there's enough ammo for them but that's about it. This is definitely a rocket fight and yet all I have is SSG and Plasma. I managed to get to the next section with the teleporter that takes you to the Vile on the platform, 3 Chaingunners and a load of Revs but I just don't have the health to survive longer than a few seconds.

No offense to Chop because I like him - but your project management was the exact opposite of what he did - it maybe took a similar amount of time but that's because it's mapping for quake and because of the huge scope of gameplay additions that you planned and finished (and did a lot of update posts about right here in the thread, and gave contributors guidance on how to use them).

It's absolutely ridiculous how nice this wad is, especially for one of those "we fixed the vanilla maps" type of wads.

Shame it's only done a handful of the maps and looking to be dead.

That's a shame, it seems like a natural branch. Going from demons and metal to mutants and synth music. I'd kill for more Escape from New York-style games. Lone badasses wandering the wastes killing freaks to funky music should be a big success. Kinda like Fallout but better action I guess.

I don't know if there's been an update to Wolf3D TC, but having played through it a few years ago, I think it's good, but I don't recommend it as a vanilla replacement because enemy behavior is different from vanilla Wolf 3D in a pretty severe way. 100% of the time, if one guard got alerted, then everyone in that room would wake up too, whereas in vanilla Wolf 3D, many enemies are programmed to stay on guard until you enter their line of sight directly. This discrepancy breaks some areas to either be too easy or too hard, and it can softlock you from accessing certain areas in some instances, usually secret pushwalls that are being blocked by what should be an unalerted enemy. ECWolf is best as a vanilla port since it's perfectly accurate while giving minor gameplay improvements like being able to hear the blue SS sense-fire from around a corner, and enemies not going invisible if there are too many corpses on the screen.
If I had to recommend a Doom-y Wolf 3D mod, then Brutal Wolfenstein 7.0 is by far the best I've played, and that's coming from someone who's not a fan of over-the-top gore. It basically re-imagines all of Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny's levels in a very faithful way that portrays an amalgamation of textures, weapons, enemies, and music from every other Wolfenstein game, all while giving a huge boost in gameplay depth.

I feel like the hate here from the Nudoom games here is eerily similar to the way the Star Wars boomers reacted to the prequel trilogy back then.
Us zoomers loved (and still love) the prequels. While the older generation of users online HATED the prequels with a burning passion. They HATED what George Lucas was doing to the franchise. But they were blinded by how much creative vision he had when setting up the lore and world building of the prequel franchise. As such, the prequels still to this day continue to age like fine wine more and more (especially after the soulless, corporate, bland and uninspired the Disney Sequel trilogy).
And now, we see HUGE influx of Star Wars prequel love like never before. We now see that the Star Wars boomers were WRONG about the prequel trilogy. We now see that George Lucas was just ahead of his time. He brought new life into the Star Wars universe that neither the Disney sequels or even the original trilogy could ever accomplish.

I see this very much similar to the way the Doom Boomers here are reacting towards the Nudoom games. Hugo Martin is like George Lucas in a sense. A creative genius who has the talent to create such strong lore and world building that brings the Doom franchise to life like never before seen. But the doom boomers don’t see that. They aren’t used to change. Just as the Star Wars boomers weren’t used to change either.

That one particular sniper in Return to Castle Wolftenstein on that experimental plane level gets me every time. After the initial section when you lower that big gate and make you way towards the main complex he is up on the catwalks and hits me, kills me, THEN I hear the shot and see the tracer as I'm fading out.

And then the hot elite guard chicks towards the end in that dark foggy forest.

The two sniper filled levels in Medal of Honor Allied Assault, the sniper town and the wintery forest.

Vietcong has incredibly dastardly snipers, though it feels like every enemy is a goddamn sniper sometimes. I should replay Vietcong one of these days, listen to them poddys about SOG guys regaling their Vietnam.experiences and then listen to some Hendrix and play Vietcong.

Trying to run past them usually resulted in me being shot from behind by a shotgun or assault rifle.

Truth be told, i actually liked the level that introduced the Flood. It was the next level that exposed to me all of the issues people have with them.
Still, one terrible level is not enough to bring the whole game down. Can't recall ever playing a FPS on a gamepad before and i had pretty great time with Halo: CE

The Quake 2 expansions are definitely worth playing imho. I would recommend doing The Reckoning first but only because I feel like Ground Zeroes edges out to be the better ones, they're both good. Ground Zeroes is also very mean about it's enemy placement but mostly in a good way. Both expansions have new enemies and weapons but sadly the new weapons are exclusive to each expansion pack.

I would say that compared to Quake 2 base game the levels flow much better. I was getting upset in base Quake 2's mid game onwards about the detail-barren areas with a lot of aimless backtracking but in the expansions the backtracking feels more natural and the areas more or less feel more detailed and purposeful. A bunch of neat setpieces as well.

>> No.10930340

>>10930317
playing with a mouse and keyboard does have the benefit of making the weapon balance slightly less shit but that's less of a problem with the singleplayer anyway. There's also other stuff you can figure out too if you're willing to explore. The iffy level design is the weakest thing about CE but the good levels make up for it. I always liked AOTCR but nobody seems to like the repetitive rooms.

>Are the expansions worth playing?
If you just beat Q2 through the remaster then sure, if you liked the base campaign these will feel the same if not better.
If you just beat Q2 through a different port or the original exe, then absolutely. The expansions are when they started to fix the AI and make the enemies more dangerous.

Insofar that you play as other marines who are taking part in the invasion to the Strogg home planet? Yes. And they even get their own intro cutscenes. And those little green satellite cutscenes of showing your progress from one ''unit'' to another.

So yeah there's roughly the same amount of 'story' as Quake 2 base game.

It's easy to rely on that in Tom's maps, Romero does a better job of pushing you into the room, either by putting the resources you need in there or getting you flanked if you don't keep moving. Sometimes it's also just genuinely preferable to get in and juggle the crowd instead of getting whittled down at a chokepoint because enemies can shoot through each other. If you strafe a lot and use mouse movement you can take on crowds and win, but it depends a bit on what you're fighting. Don't fuck with mutants or full groups of SS. A few SS in a group of officers and guards can be managed as priority targets, but it's a big risk if you don't have a chaingun.

Endie (the author) seems to have moved on from Doom modding, yes. I don't blame her at all. All of her mods (spriting, editing, coding) were done entirely on a phone which I can imagine is an absolute nightmare to do for extended periods of time. Then she just disappeared one day.

I like it a lot. I use the following settings to keep the maps small (vanilla size) and mostly fun:

theme: original

level size: tiny
upper bound: average
lower bound: microscopic

monster quantity: easy
upper bound: modest
lower bound: trivial

And then I tell it to give me as many pickups as possible. It's just enough to give me a taste of something different and unique to look at in each map.

I use it similarly, but I also messed with the Oblige v2 setting within Obsidian and turned it up too 100% once and got some very strange maps.

Today's development of DoomBlame!, the entrance which I want to make into the 'opening' to this part of the megastructure which the player will explore.

I want to start the mission with a freight full of vats of sludge, tightly packed, going like a comet across the darkness of the sector.
The armored tram running the same line, for millennia after its conductors were no more, braving the immeasurable distances of the megastructure, crashes, or something crashes into it, and from one of the vats, miles and miles below, the player emerges, an organic lifeform, trapped in the belly of this horrible machine.

Thanks anons. I'll post updates on the FTE project occasionally, but there won't be much of interest beyond textures and aesthetic concepting for a while because I'm more or less starting from scratch when it comes to code (besides a framework for menus, but I may end up ditching it).

Yeah no problem man. If for some reason I don't reply here when you ask, you can message me on Moddb on the Malice Refined page, or one of the emails in the readmes of Violent Rumble or Malice Refined (which I don't want to post here because last time I got spam botted).
I'm also in the FTE and Trenchbroom discord servers.
>>10933242
I may update it on a whim occasionally, probably with some tricks and optimizations I've learned working on Malice Refined. Nothing significant unless something really motivates me.
A big part of why I became disillusioned with it is that, since it was my first programming experience, there are multiple layers of spaghetti code at different levels of amateurness that are just a pain to work with and embarrassing to look at. Having stuff from both mission packs and Progs Dump 3 doesn't help either, and it took some autism to get them playing nice together.
I also got a bad case of 'magnum opus syndrome' with the maps I was working on for VR2, but that's a whole different story...

LOL
I make the map and I make the rules buddyboy. If I place no SSG on that map, it's as if I made a rule "don't use the ssg" - I have nothing against people cheating in that weapon, or making a mod that does so by carrying it from the previous level or spawning it if there was no ssg before - it would be a really faggot thing to block that.
If you don't like how my map uses death exits, either use mods/cheats or stfu about it.
And don't give me that smartypants "just let people have options" - if you think installing mods or using commands is too much of a hassle, then why would you force pistolstarters(who I designed the map for) to use the idclev command every time they enter a level? Shaking my head at how continuous players always see everything only from their point of view.

The start is fairly strained with resources, even on medium/lightly broiled. You’ll start to get more loaded after the first three or four levels.

I wouldn’t say that’s a “trap”. It can be a fun/new way to experience the map after enjoying the level in a previous continuous playthrough.

It goes beyond pistol starting, you just can't really design an encounter to accommodate absolutely everybody, let alone an entire map, even trying to do it railroads the fuck out of a map.

It makes a lot of sense for stuff like Arcane Dimensions because so many of those maps are large and sprawling adventures of their own, so just picking any one of them at your own pace and doing them one at a time works well.

Aiming for and assembling an episode is very well worth it though.

Dwell was enjoyable, but mostly Episode 2, but the thing is, I still played through all of it, I tell myself I am going to play a jam, and very often I find myself cycling through the maps to see what they're like, but never finishing any of them (aside from Metmon or Tears in AD), an episodic format I think pushes you to complete even the boring levels, but that's just me personally.

I would say, gushing over Dwell, Pale Sun (d2m3) and Voyage So Far (d2m4) were my favorite maps I have ever played in a Quake pack/mod. What I'd give for more maps in that Lovecraftian, sunken ocean-world aesthetic.

Designing any Doom level for pistol start is one of the many things which makes Doom so very easy to map for, you only have to directly account for the balance of any given map.

Now, that doesn't mean that there can't be an overarching balance as maps progress, or that you cannot try to account for that on some level (like giving the player stuff which they don't really have any use for in the current level, but which will be good if they carry it over), and it doesn't mean that continuous play will always make things easier, because sometimes it will not, but there's vanishingly few sets out there which are strictly continuous with no real support for pistol start.

Forcing pistol starts on every level isn't common, but it has a logic in that it strictly enforces the gameplay balance, including not letting you make a level easier by carrying over stuff from a previous one, but also preventing you from getting too fucked if the previous level is likely to leave you raw and spent by the end.

While I'm personally undecided on whether forced pistol start is the way to go or not, I 100 percent agree with you on that it's the mapper's choice what limits they want to impose on the player and if people are not on board with it they can find a different wad or use cheats or whatever.

Almost through Quake 64. It's... fine. Definitely not something I would've gone out of my way to play but since it was in the Remaster might as well give it a go and it's... alright! The levels are way simpler and shorter than any pc quake level and you can't crouch for some reason but it's a perfectly serviceable Quake-themed smack if you will. Though I wish I had played it before the expansion packs because it is a definite downgrade.

Finding good documentation on how to do it takes even more, apparently the best you can do is play mods that are like this and try to replicate them.
That said, what are some cool doom/quake packs with episodic sequences that you or anyone here recommends? I'm in the process of planning a megawad for Doom, but I have no idea how to actually make them work together, and not be just a compilation of isolated, themed maps.

It's been decades since I played Heretic, I've just started playing and I'm impressed by the quality of the levels, at least the first episode. I was expecting something archaic like Doom and Doom 2, but the levels are super well thought out, with decent visuals, interesting combat, etc. Raven was light years ahead of ID Software in terms of level design.

10935263

When I was doing playtesting earlier this week on Sunday, I realized the system I had with the meditool and the heat gauge didn't work cus they were fighting eachother. So I'm trying a new system here:

Medi-tool's gonna be completely removed, and hitting zoom will instead shift you into that venting mode I've been showing off before. The big change being triggering this mode will give you health and ammo, so more heat = more ammo and health, the tradeoff being you're in the venting mode for a longer period of time. If you go overboard and actually overheat you'll shift into a purge state where you vent off the heat super fast, but you're not going to get any goodies for it.

So TL;DR Heat management is becoming even more active, and that's one less meter to worry about. If you want to not bother with it right away, there's going to be less downtime before you get back to just shooting and kicking shit.

It's actually not TOO hard to straferun onto the throne in MAP31. According to Team TNT, they said that the mistagged key was something they actually caught, and they sent in a fix to iD long before shipping, but apparently that wasn't applied.

Or rather, it actually was, but only in later prints of Final Doom and the iD Anthology Edition, so a minor percentage of physical releases of TNT have them fixed.

Depends on how involved he was with Final Doom. I think it was either American McGee or Shawn Green which Dario & Milo managed to get in contact with, and it was one of those guys who thought their 8 level demo was really promising, leading to Plutonia's development.

On the other hand, Final Doom as a product happened because Romero had scouted out TNT for a while, then approached them to strike a deal as they were about to release it. Romero supposedly has VERY good memory, so if the responsibility to patch Pharaoh fell on him, it feels like he would have remembered to do it, it'd only take a few minutes to do. Maybe he delegated it to someone else who forgot?

I seem to recall Romero once saying that iD didn't really practice any kind of version control around the time of Doom and Doom 2, so perhaps the fix just fell between the cracks there, it made it to one update but not another. Remember that the actual levels for TNT were also in flux, some levels were cut by iD for being way too big (presumably some Drake O'Brien ones), and both Dario and Milo had some levels cut by Team TNT for being too hard, some of these ending up in Plutonia. Those two also both came up with MAP30 candidates for TNT but which were rejected, and while I'm generally biased towards their mapping, I must disagree with Dario when he says those were a lot better than the final MAP30 TNT got, because they aren't that good IMO.
Making an Icon Of Sin level which doesn't suck isn't easy, mind.

Team TNT offered a basic patch utility for that even back during the 90s, so on that point that hasn't exactly been obscure. I think there are a few very subtle engine changes in some versions of Doom95, including Anthology, but that's another thing.

I don't know how true this is, but I remember hearing that Perdition's Gate was offered as a third level set for Final Doom, but got turned down because the window of opportunity had passed.

I think they did that after hearing Dario and Milo got the Plutonia deal, but asking iD and sending in a sample set of levels, they were told that "the window of opportunity had closed."
So they opted to publish it with Wraith Co. instead. No idea if that submission contained any rejected TNT levels, nor if any of those are in Perdition's Gate either.

I can imagine that it would have been a slightly different Perdition's Gate than that which we got, since the final one feels like it strays a bit much from the Doom brand with its themes of aliens and mutants and stuff (even if it's using stock Doom enemies and stuff).

Here's a submission for Fraggot:
Map name: Green Harvest
Music: Mother from Illusion of Gaia
Author: Anon
Link: https://files.catbox.moe/2qxu3p.wad

You can probably see a trend among submissions by now, I haven't played a whole lot of dm but I tried. Let me know if the bfg placement sucks in multiplayer. All the custom textures and the general aesthetic are stolen from scythe 2. There's one animated texture and one new switch. The map was designed in general within boom format because it's easier than learning the details of UDMF. The exits and various other things are different between dm and singleplayer, so if you want to review it as a dm map make sure you've got your parameters right. It was largely an afterthought, but I think it works alright as a singleplayer experience if you like hard and grindy maps. Difficulties are implemented too.

I don't know if we're allowed to use it for this project but I like using G/ZDoom (Doom in Hexen Format) as a middle ground between Boom and UDMF. It doesn't have every feature UDMF has to offer, but it also doesn't have 5 fucking tabs to configure a linedef.

IMO, TNT is a case of a megawad with great ambitious ideas, that is unfortunately bogged down by the fact that it was made in 1995, a time where the mapping community was still experimenting to figure out what does and doesn't work with Doom 2's gameplay. It's not awful like some people like to claim, and I do think it deserves some respect for what it was able to achieve at the time, but it definitely shows its age in a lot of areas.

The layout of this map is pretty well suited for deathmatch, but most player spawns are poorly placed because they're facing walls and have walls right at their backs. Move the spawns into the playing grounds, make them look at halls and openings where opponents would likely run through, and don't shove them too close to walls.
Putting SSGs on every spawn makes the gameplay not very interesting, there should be a mixture of shotgun, chaingun, SSG spawns, this map could also get away with a couple bigger weapon spawns. This way you can encourage players to run into the center by putting SSGs there.

i just cleared jenesis playing on hmp with pistol starts (this is the first non-community wad i've done pistol starts on). it was pretty fun. lots of neat ideas for maps. unfortunately there was a lot of "oh my god where the FUCK do i go" type progression (nothing as arcane as some of the stuff in tnt though). one thing i can say about this dev is that they really, REALLY love their goddamn damage floors. i think every single map must've had at least one portion where he says "okay now get in the damage floor and lose 30 or so health bitch." this generally wasn't too much of an issue except for the one map that was literally 90% damage floor while also having extremely unclear progression, which made it VERY fucking annoying to play and was the only one i thought genuinely kind of stank.
it wasn't too painfully challenging, i didn't start doing mid-level saves until around map26 or so.

Hug a wall, when the revenant shoots, dodge diagonally towards the bonehead and away from the wall, as soon as the missile passes you, circle back into the wall again and retreat a little.
If it was guided, it will loop around and hit the wall in front of you.
Even without nearby walls, it's still advantageous to circle strafe towards a revenant rather than away, due to the wide turns the guided missiles take.

I think modding is still just ambitious, the number of indie games being made with GZDoom engine is crazy, and they're often pretty complex. For me, I've found that the character of ZDoom mods has changed. They are often overly-complex, or have overly-fluid animations. I still like modern megawads, but gameplay mods themselves feel different. You don't see a lot of stuff like omg-weapons, aeons of death, Doom 3 Weapons Mod, or that giant squid boss battle that Cutmanmike made. Can't even find videos of most of this stuff on YouTube anymore, lol.

I've noticed the same, I don't like it. That extra complexity often doesn't gel with Doom maps, and those uncanny 60 FPS excessive motion blurred animations look fucked.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. It's not necessarily the smoothness that's the issue, it's how they do it. Projects like Smooth Doom generally look pretty good with their smooth animations, because each frame is essentially hand-animated. Strife has similarly smooth animations for some of its NPCs that also look good.
