First for you are all excellent and I wish you a nice day. Keep on Dooming

Got my friend to download the wads and such

what do you guys think would make a good place to start dooming with someone who never doomed before?

>>1621201
The beginning.

Hide your powerlevel too because going too fast for them is going to only frustrate them while they're in your dust.

>>1621201
Play keyboard only so your friend can do all the work in coop.

Alright... How the fuck do you get past that elevator puzzle in map09 of doom2 the way id did ? I've watched videos on youtube where guys did it by straferunning but even with straferunning it seems they lucked out and are cheating the system somehow.

>>1621256
if you mean this one, you have to run over it while it is still rising

>>1621290

That simple ? Well fuck.

I did it by raising the elevator all the way up then tricking it into lowering itself and I ran over it when it was just the right elevation. Took quite a few tries so it didnt really feel legit either.

>>1621294
yeah, if you step on it when stationary it will lower, but if you do so when it's still rising, it can't start lowering because it's already moving.

in nearly all cases doom won't activate another thinker on a sector that is already active (although there are certain exceptions) and this puzzle exploits that.

>>1621060
From old thread:
Nice. Good shit.

I also went the secret way round

The STARTAN1 thing comes from the editor assigning the wrong default texture to untextured lines. Should be STARTAN2. there is no STARTAN1...

>>1621330
let's be honest, it's not really very secret :-)

>>1621330

Huh... I missed that >>1620243. I'll give it a shot after getting a bit more drunk. That's the setup right? Because using Doom format with Doom 2 iwad sounds a bit odd.

>>1621342
Yea. Do that. Vanilla compatible is the setup.

Multiple entries are fine, winner gets nothing at all.

>>1621350
(I'm kidding of course, these aren't being scored in any way, it's just for the challenge of it)

>>1621201

Well, that depends entirely on the tastes of your friends.
Does he like wandering around and exploring? Some massive levels might be called for.
Does he like linear, straight-ahead marches and killfests? You may want to put up some Scythe/Scythe 2.
Does he like ugh modern FPSes and their ilk? You may want to throw up some Real Guns Advanced.
Does he like Smash Bros? Maybe throw up Samsara.

>>1621357
different guy, but suggest some massive levels for wandering around and exploring

>>1621363
How about Whitemare 2 and Hadephobia? These are bretty gud.

>>1621363

i think you should repost the announcement. you have saved the three (?) current submissions so far right?

post some comics

Tired of looking for that supershotgun in RL:A?
Need that one mod pack you just can't find?
About to jump off a cliff because you don't have that armor you were looking for?
Well good news! I have made a map that is just 8 maps of RNG abusing fun. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6bglw7omohhg76r/RLDAcheats.wad

Just run Doom RPG with it so you can exit back to the hub level and move on to the map pack of choice after saving in it.

>>1621386
...Or just type "summon rlsupershotgunpickup" in the console.

So I just finished Alien Vendetta map 20 again and I''ll post my thoughts

>The good
- Nice detailing, the author knows how to detail areas well
- It's fun when you know where you're going
- The fight up the mountain to get the skullkey was pretty damn fun.

>The bad
- Has that problem of not knowing how to use barons, there are quite a few barons placed in areas where they are not threatening, they're just a grind to kill
- Does the same with Cyberdemons and then a SpiderMastermind at the end
- You often wonder what a switch just did (especially in the latter half of the map) and find yourself in areas you just cleared unsure of where to go and it kills the flow
- An example would be walking over non-damaging lava down a hallway that looks like the other similar looking impassable areas that are there for detail
- Another near the end of the map you have to move between a few different rooms to hit switches that open up other switches to hit, this is just busywork, all the monsters are dead and there is no time limit

>>1621379
Alright:

200 MINUTE MEGAWAD MAPPING CHALLENGE

Simple idea: Make a single player map in 200 minutes or less, and post a link to it in the thread by Friday. They will then be compiled into a megawad.

Rules:
-200 minutes or less
-Doom 2 iwad
-Vanilla compatibility (test in chocodoom, or dos if you want)
-No new resources (textures, sprites, or whatever).
-Levels must have an accessible exit. So if you run out of time just throw one in somewhere.

>>1621393
In hindsight they could have just gone to the test map anyways.

>>1621401
Whoops. Linked the same one twice...
One of those should be... >>1620705

>>1621363
Memento Mori was made with coop in mind, I know that.

>Memento Mori is a 1995 megawad that contains 32 new levels, designed by two members of the Innocent Crew, Denis and Thomas Möller, along with 19 other authors, including Tom Mustaine and both Dario and Milo Casali. In contrast to most megawads, it is designed especially for cooperative multiplayer gameplay

http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Memento_Mori

>>1621397
thanks, that was interesting.
>you have to move between a few different rooms to hit switches that open up other switches to hit, this is just busywork, all the monsters are dead and there is no time limit
i don't know if this is the case here (to my shame, although i have played the rest of AV lots of times i have never done the whole of map20) but in my experience if you find yourself running around pressing switches and otherwise engaged in "busywork" (nice term for it!) then what's probably happened is that you've played the map too cautiously and have hung back carefully killing monsters when the author intended you to charge ahead. this isn't always the case of course, it might just be that there is a genuinely empty section of a map, but often in my experience it does mean i've played too cautiously previously.

>>1621412
indeed, there are a lot of levels that play differently in co-op and have puzzles that need two players to do. they're worked around in single player by clever tricks with linedefs and blocking things that only appear in multiplayer.

some maps you can't even get 100% on without a second player, in particular the secret exit to map32 can't be reached in solo play (at least according to the authors... i was overjoyed when i discovered they were wrong...)

>>1621417
Thanks.
I play cautiously but I don't act like I'm going to die in one hit, I just don't want to get surrounded.

It happens twice in the level, the first is getting the key from the mountain, it's sort of ok there as it opens up rooms with monsters (and easy baron fights) but the 2nd time is near the end and the fights are a lot closer in. I think only really impetuous players would hit them as they find them but even then they're not especially standout from the wall in the darkness so you see them when you're not harassed by monsters.

>i have never done the whole of map20)

I don't hold it against you, it's unclear at times where to go. I got near the end and was sealed off by bars, I idbeholded to see the rest of the map and I just went straight to where I had to go through noclipping.

Turns out I had killed every other monster in the level anyway, we don't want to fuck around walking in an area we have visited a heap of times when the level was just having us kill at a fast pace. There is going slow then hitting a sudden halt where you're left feeling like a git for not knowing where to run off to.

Rest of the WAD is fucking great though, I have to say.

>play DOOM in DOSBox for the longest time
>not much of a multiplayer guy
>hmmmm maybe I should check Skulltag out
>mfw
it's so much more fluid. Thanks for introducing me to this, guys.

>>1621568
>Skulltag
Dead port, due to the creator focusing more on Wrack.
You may want to check out Zandronum, Skulltag's successor. If you don't plan on multiplayer much, another option is GZDoom.

>>1620929
strictly, this map needs boom compatibility to get 100% kills. the pictured lowering floor starts with the imps with their heads in the ceiling, which blocks the movement.

you may or may not care about this, but if the maps are targeting any limit-removing source port, i felt i would mention it.

>>1621568
If you want..
>Authenticity
Chocolate Doom
>graphics, advanced mod support
GZDoom
>Multiplayer
Zandronum (which is basically skulltag without the funny hats, or outdated gzdoom with mp if you will)

>>1621587
I noticed he had left the project but it was still a real step up from what I was playing. Does Zandronum and GZDoom let you just play the WADs the way Skulltag does it or is the interface different?

>>1621605
Skulltag was a fork of ZDoom and Zandronum is a fork of Skulltag, so yes.

>>1621609
OK cool, good to know, I'll take a look.

Remember:
Report and ignore

Can you guys reccomend some WADs to me? I am getting back into the Doom Game after about 5ish years and am looking for some good levels that fit in with the "story" if you will of the original Doom/Doom2. I just played Winter's Fury and the Zdoom Community Map Project and loved them both.

>>1621713
Scythe

>>1621713
switcheroom, it's not out properly yet but there's a beta at http://static.best-ever.org/wads/switcheroom.wad

>>1621589

Oh, shoot, I didn't know that. I guess just raise the ceiling where the imps are. I, uh, don't really play with anything other than zdoom stuff, so I guess it really is on me for that. Sorry

>>1621713
btsx.wad

>>1621713
Doom 2 Reloaded is bretty good.

Guys, how do you beat level 4 in Cyberdreams?

I run up the steps, jump through the arch, and the cyberdemon teleports into the slime pit, but it doesn't die. I get the feeling it's supposed to? There isn't anything else in the level I can interact with, so I assume it's just glitched or something.

>>1621589
Oh shit. I played it with choco and just assumed I missed some monsters.

Well. So long as it's beatable, it's fine. Nothing gamebreaking.

>>1621713
Absolution TC. It's basically Doom 64 ported to PC, with a few new enemies and enhancements.

Since Doom 3 was a reboot and not a sequel, you can think of Doom 64 as being the "real" Doom 3.

>>1621713
>>1621831
Or better yet, Doom64EX, by the Absolution dude. Requires a D64 ROM to generate a wad to play, but the ROM is easy as shit to get (got mine from coolroms I think) and EX is more faithful to the original than Absolution.

>>1621357

I remember that guy from the past Quakecon...man oh man

>that fucking based Doom finals

>>1621804
It's glitched. Some of the levels are like that in source ports. I think it will work correctly if you use a Boom-derivative source port and use the right compatibility settings.

>>1621401
>>1621589

Alright, I believe this should do it. Basically just did what I said I'd do. I went and got chocolate doom and tested it, and it works like it should now. Sorry for linking basically the same map repeatedly, but this should be the last time!

http://www.mediafire.com/download/n2blbck17b3g8v4/challenge+200+mins+fixed+really.wad

>>1621401
>They will then be compiled into a megawad.

Would you mind explaining this a little bit further? Will there be an announcement of sorts? What'll be the final name?

>>1621804

Ey Spritenoob

What's the source of this? >>1620780 My brain is telling me Julia Roberts, but I'm not that sure

>>1621112

>HDoom

I need to take a shower...

>>1621845
yes this basically. stairs sometimes crush and sometimes they don't. in vanilla.exe it depends on uninitialized data and is basically random. prboom-plus prints a great big warning about crushing stairs affecting demosync to stdout.txt if it encounters them.

the situation was complicated by the unofficial doom specs erroneously stating that fast stairs crush but slow stairs don't, which was taken as gospel and enshrined in boom by its developers. thus in source ports cyberdreams 4, which relies on a slow stairbuild crushing the monster on it, will never work.

>>1621864
What kind of shower?

>>1621873
>random
* not the good kind of deterministic random Doom uses, but really unpredictably not-a-hope-of-demo-sync random.

>>1621859
sadly that won't help in this case...

>>1621864
water sucks as a lubricant anon

>>1621845
Alright, thanks. I'll try setting it to Boom compatibility mode when I get a chance.

>>1621846
no problem, thank you for being so amenable to fixing it. i usually get told "use zdoom you damned purist" when i talk about this kind of thing here...

>>1621846
I assume you were still under the 200 minutes?

>>1620837
That's an invulnerability charge, does the same thing as an invulnerability sphere, and plus you probably have a full inventory which may be preventing you picking it up.

>>1621884
no, see >>1621873 - boom does exactly the wrong thing with cyberdreams map04

iirc it's the only map that broke the last time i went through it (which was admittedly a few years ago now)

Does anyone know which song this is a MIDI version of? It plays in MAP02 of WOOO.wad.
http://puu.sh/8MsMI.mid

I don't mean to step on anyones toes with this, but how come most heavy mappers and modders in the doom community generally seem to be only average or slightly above average players? Shouldn't it be that the ones mapping and modding are the ones most into doom and doom pvp? Wouldn't this affect how well one could map or mod if they're mapping or modding to their skill level?

>>1621909

I'm just not very good at multiplayer, I mostly play single player Doom.

I don't want to hear any fucking remarks about me being unable to boost ball into certain people either or I will shit.

>>1621909
They spend more time modding of mapping than playing.

>>1621909
More often than not, mappers and modders spend most of their time mapping and modding instead of playing the game.

>>1621913
>>1621914
I guess that makes sense. Was this always the case do you think or a recent development in the Doom world?

>>1621912
How would you rank yourself in maps?

>>1621909
A lot of us enjoy playing survival and occasionally competitive stuff - but for the most part we like making and playing maps/mods. PvP really isn't interesting enough to be worth making it any sort of big skill.

>>1621909
different skillset, you don't need superfast reactions + fingers to map, etc.

>>1621907
>ask in a group chat full of people what it's based off of
>it's a song from MLP
>mfw

>>1621889

Well, I'd say I'm over the limit if we're counting consecutively from when I started the map earlier this morning. In the first version I linked in last thread, I'd pretty much hit the time limit. I'm not sure how we're counting fixes, though, or the timing. Does it all have to be in one big chunk of mapping? Can you break it up into parts and stop the clock? I kinda assumed the first one. I think I may have screwed up and broke the time rule to fix a compatibility error.

>>1621912
HAHA
Fag can't even boost ball

>>1621926
>it's a song from MLP
>Giving a fuck

>>1621920

You mean like in map design? I can't say one way or another as I haven't made a map yet.

>>1621929

MOTHERFUCKER

>>1621895
Oh okay, so you're telling me I need to NOT use Boom compatibility. Gotcha.

It's a 1998 wad, so I guess the obvious fix would be to just use pure vanilla compatibility.

>>1621931
He seemed to like it until he knew.
Anyone care to link it? He got me curious now.

Is there a way to stretch textures in GZDoom Builder? I want to make it so the pictures take up the whole spot without tiling or not completely showing up.

>>1621979
You will prob need to resize it in a image editor

>>1621979
You can edit the size in the textures lump in Slade

>>1621927
No. Taking breaks is fine if need be. I had to stop to walk the dog and eat yesterday. I still ended up under the time limit either way (9-11:30)... But life doesn't just stop for Doom. Reasonable rules.

>>1621979
I think GZ doombuilder has a UV screen where you can do that... Not sure if it needs gzdoom or if zdoom would be fine to show the changes.

>>1621894
Thanks anon, I am glad I decided to skip it and continue through my playthrough.

who needs powerups when you can just mow everything down in seconds?

>>1621979
Stretching textures? No, but you can use HiRes textures with ZDoom/GZDoom.

Oookay I guess I'll be that one fgt

>>1622024
jumping breaks oblige maps somewhat hard

>>1622053
Ya I know, I just upgraded one of my augmentations for double the jumping height so I decided to test it out on that map.

Question for people that have played Fractal Doom, which will eventually receive another update at some point:

Was it too hard in singleplayer?

Some of the feedback for TSP and the testing I did for FD back in the day has made me realize that I might have made it too ridiculous to be playable in singleplayer.

Also any other critiques you might have. Gimme your worst, really lay into it if you want, it can only help.

>>1622028
Just out of interest, are there any existing high-res texture packs you can recommend?

>>1622052
I'm making a joke wad. Yeah, another one. I plan to have the doom 2 maps changed.

>>1622091
It's shit. Start over.

I would say the only thing that bothered me was the speed of some things. Everyone is going with faster faster faster shit (except hideous distructor). It'd be nice to see a return to slow plodding rockets and what not again.

>>1622093
Not that I know about, hi-res texture packs tend to look like shit in Doom.

I could see it being used for a few special textures, but having hires textures for the entire game would look really weird, it doesn't jive with Doom's simplistic architecture.

>>1622104
I was going to reduce the speed of some things, probably the speed at which they replicate and some of the projectile speeds (which I think I made too fast, to the point of making it nearly impossible to dodge) but I don't think FD will ever be vanilla or HD speed.

Point definitely taken though, and I would definitely like to try a slower pace for a project in the future.

>>1621863
Sorry for the late response, I've been out.
Not Julia Roberts, it's from this: http://youtu.be/7i9kjYrE_sQ?t=41s

I think I have a problem.

Whenever I play the bridge level of Action Doom 2 I can't enter the bus; why is that?

>>1622186
Are you using the ZDoom build bundled with it?

>>1622190
Maybe.

>>1622249
Well then I don't know what to tell you. I've played it using that build myself and it worked fine, though I did have that issue you're having trying to play it with newer versions of ZDoom.

So, Duke related announcement coming up apparently.

so i heard terminus needed samus sprites

here

>>1622175
maybe
but don't stop

>>1622262

I doubt it will have anything to do with Duke.
If anything else, it'll probably be Bombshell, Duke's ill-fated sidekick.

>Interceptor

Fucking dropped.

>>1622327
Yep, apparently.
>>>/v/243587462
>>>/v/243583602
Half an hour left to see how bad they fuck up.

>>1622327
Who/What is interceptor?

>>1622339
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interceptor_Entertainment
They developped Rise of the Triad 2013. I like the game but there's a couple of things they could've done so that its launch wasn't so ridiculous.

>>1622339
Dudes that made ROTT 2013. A lot of potential, hampered by being completely new and sticking with UE3 for whatever fucking reason.

>>1622346
>>1622348
Oh shit, I own the game but can't play it on my toaster of a laptop. Is it not very good? I'd heard it was good from most people.

Adjusted the color to match my other hands, cut the resolution by half, and adjusted the contrast to better match also. I'll probably still have to do some pixel editing, because I know I'll have ugly outlines on this ingame, but once I get that code in, I can move the hands around in slade's sprite editor so that the mirror isn't so stable.

>>1622353
It's rough around the edges, but it's fun. The problem is that they had no idea what the fuck they were doing at launch and lost a ton of players.

>>1622353
It's alright, just kind of underwhelming. But I guess you get what you pay for considering it was $15. Also >>1622359

If you haven't already, check out Wrack. It's being developped by CarnEvil of Skulltag fame and replicates the Doom player physics very nicely IMO.

>>1622356
Lookin' good! I'm not sure how I feel about the resolution being cut in half, but I assume it's to blend in with the other graphics being used. Also, someone asked you somewhere in this thread who the woman in the mirror was (I think they guessed Julia Roberts? I dunno, I don't feel like scrolling up lol)

>>1622359
How exactly didn't they know what the fuck they were doing at launch? What happened?

>>1622362
Yeah I got it on sale, I'm pretty sure. And I'll give Wrack a look as well.

>>1622368
Optimization issues mainly

5 minutes now.
Fingers crossed.

>>1622372
Pretty much. They should've had it on Early access like Carmageddon Reincarnation is doing. Instead of having to deal with shitty optimization at launch, they could've had it already dealt with during development.

>>1622380
>They should've had it on Early access like Carmageddon Reincarnation

This so fucking much. How is Carmageddon anyway?

>>1622270
Good call!

>>1622363

I hope she has more personality than edgy alt-grrrl.

I don't really expect much more personality than what Duke had, which is not very much.

>>1622456
I think it'd be awesome if Duke had more personality.

>>1622463
I don't really know what you could do to give Duke more personality without undermining his whole cheesy Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque action hero shtick.

>>1622435
W-well, remember Opposing Force? That was pretty nice.
And the first Borderlands was pretty f-fun.

I can't even deny it, they've done a whole lot of shit, but I want to believe that they could salvage Duke. A part of me still hopes.

>>1622398

No, I just know Duke history.

It also helps that I wasn't unrealistically expecting them to make a Duke game, what with the whole lawsuit thing going around.

>>1622435
Didn't like BL/2 I take it?

>>1622481
>>1622486
Sorry, not saying all their games are bad, they've done some great games, sure... Just not very many. Both Borderlands games were fun, the first Brothers in Arms game was okay, but just about everything else they've done has ended up being "Meh", or just plain shit. I can't say I trust them at all following all the shit they pulled with Aliens Colonial Marines.

Still, I hope it's good.

Ahem.
FUCK GEARBOX
That is all. That duke game sounded good but it was cancelled because of these cunts.

>>1622546
I'm pretty sure that Duke game IS this game, just without Duke.

If you're not much of a multiplayer guy, get GZdoom. It is more compatible with mods.

>>1622550
It wasn't too long ago that Interceptor/3D Realms were sued over the last Duke game, so they probably just gave it a face lift. Which, who knows, possibly could make it better.

>>1622536
Jesus fucking christ.

>>1622536
>"This was just a background video for the E3 Convention, so there's really nothing special here."
Well, that clears it up. Just the uploader that titled it Trailer for some reason.

>>1622536
The whole trailer was meant to be poking fun at an old Duke Nukem Forever trailer.

>>1622562
I dunno, going off of memory, I think GameTrailers actually uploaded that as a trailer as well. Then again, this was way back in the day. I could care less now. Point is, I was hoping for some gameplay, but instead of we got some shots of our protagonist, which I suppose isn't...awful. Just boring.

>>1622568
Indeed.

>>1622490
>>1622504
I honestly enjoyed playing a patched version of ACM on splitscreen with my friend on his 360, and I even plan to buy it on Steam Summer Sale.
ACM suffered of the same problems as DNF: it was a game that was touched by 1092476 other companies, and ended a complete mess of half-baked ideas. I am honestly surprised that the final product didn't got even worse.

They were pretty competent with Borderlands and Brothers In Arms, and if they could make a Duke game completely from scratch, I would expect some good results.

>>1622536
Is this shit serious, or just some fan video?

>>1622576
When are you going to learn cvars mark?

Hop on irc and I can teach you, then you can have a single file instead of 1092476 mutators.

Looks like Doom RLA with Doom RPG and Oblige.

>>1622720
well,if Vanilla doom is basically any source port configured to play like the original doom[no jump/crouch and vertical aim] and super vanilla would not make sense,then call chocolate the very original[and primitive] way to play doom

Also,imps are basically choco monsters

>>1622753

Other way around Anon, vanilla is playing the original .exe (the "very original" way to play) and chocolate is... just playing Chocolate DOOM I guess.

>>1622641
Well in case you're still here, or for anyone else reading, here is a basic rundown on cvars. Most of this post is copied from one of TerminusEst13's posts (https://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/1296087/#1299775) but there are a couple additions of my own (most of which are a result of having knowledge I gained by looking at samsara .31's code.) I didn't >quote Term's bits because it would make it harder to read.

To put it very very very simply, cvars are basically numbers registered into the player's .ini file detailing the exact nature of their personal settings--and each setting all comes down to a number. It can be as simple as sv_nojump 1, which disables jumping, or dmflags3 16 which allows friendly players to pass through each other.
Think of it as your own personal board of switches where you can enable or disable options as you please.

They've actually been in ever since the console was introduced to ZDWhatever, but only recently did ZDoom give modders the ability to make their own. With Zandronum, though, cvars can only be manipulated and adjusted through ACS, thanks to ConsoleCommand.
Making your own cvar is easy enough, as it's just basically one simple script:

script 550 OPEN { if (!GetCVar("my_cvar")) { ConsoleCommand("set my_cvar 0"); ConsoleCommand("archivecvar my_cvar"); }}

What this does is when the level opens (OPEN), it checks to see if the cvar exist (!GetCvar), and if not it creates it (set metroid_noaircontrol) and then saves it in the player's .ini (archivecvar metroid_noaircontrol).
Simple!

From there, the server can adjust and set the number of the cvar to whatever they want in the server's console. Determining behavior based off the cvar's setting, however, is up to what the modder wants to do in ACS.

>>1622818
Consider this simple script:

script 551 ENTER { if (GetCVar("my_cvar") == 1) { GiveInventory("SuperShotgun",1); SetWeapon("SuperShotgun"); }}

This is a (very primitive) recreation of Zandronum's Buckshot mode, as whenever the player first enters the map (ENTER), it checks to see if my_cvar is set (GetCvar == 1), and if so it does a simple GiveInventory to give them the SSG right from the start and then sets it to their active weapon.

For zand's cvars created as above, they're whatever value the player sets them too, so there is no distinction for a boolean or a floating cvar. This is not so in zdoom, where there are different varieties of cvars and they are set in CVARINFO rather than through acs as above. See http://zdoom.org/wiki/CVARINFO for more info.

It's also important to note that you have to make sure in zandronum that you're correctly assigning a cvar as a clientside or serverside cvar. I don't know that much about serverside cvars (for those talk to term directly), but for display things that only one player will see, like a different hud, more or less or different gore effects, you would use a clientside cvar, which would have to be declared in a clientside script. Declaring such a cvar, which will be used in clientside scripts, in a non-clientside script will cause desync issues.

>>1622820
These can be used pretty easily in decorate, here are the two easiest ways:

First you'd have the following scripts:

script 998 (void) clientside
{
SetResultValue(GetCVar("cvar_mycvar"));
}

script 999 (void) clientside
{
if(GetCvar("cvar_mycvar") == 0) { SetActorState(0,"StateName1"); }
if(GetCvar("cvar_mycvar") == 1) { SetActorState(0,"StateName2"); }
}

Then in your decorate you could use

TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIf(ACS_ExecuteWithResult(998) == 1,"StateName")

Which would cause a jump or not depending upon the value of cvar_mycvar

You could also use

TNT1 A 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(999)

Anywhere in the actor and it would force the actor to either the state "StateName1" or "StateName2" depending upon its value.

You could also do stuff with scripts giving inventory items or not depending upon cvars, or other similar things, but all of that should be easy to extrapolate from everything so far.

How do you view ACS code? Can you view it in Slade or do you need another sort of program? I'm slowly learning this stuff and I'm starting to grasp decorate a bit so I figure a little exposure to ACS can't hurt

And Lord knows that by having an actual animation with an actual fucking weapon, you're automatically doing much better than the previous shitty anime skins.

>>1622975
I will probably remove the pistol for the actual death animation so it makes sense when drop weapon flags are enabled. It's probably the run animation and actual cleanup into 2D bmps that I dread.

So for those who've wanted to make a full-fledged commercial game with the GZDoom engine, there might be a glimmer of hope in the future.

http://vectorpoem.com/deck/
oh no

Short of the matter is that this dude (whom you may remember from Arcadia Demade and Lessons from Doom) is trying to tackle all of the licensing issues and problems in the Doom engine and wrangle them out to make a version that's completely capable of working as a standalone game development kit.
It looks like it's just starting out and barely anything is done yet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Does anybody know of any links to any skybox sets?

The only link I've found is this
>http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=16768

While it's good none of them are anything I want. I'd love one that is of perhaps a bright star but pic related is taken as if from the ground (notice the mountains).

>>1622973

Well, Stimpack-tan pops up in game properly and I tested out using PNG for a few frames instead of doom format with good results. Technically everything should work but it's not final, but take a look at it and comment if you want.

http://static.best-ever.org/wads/stimpacktan_beta.wad

Put it in a folder called "skins" in your Zandronum directory and you can select it (as long as you aren't playing certain mods that disable skins, like Brutal Doom). Tested only in Zandronum and will likely be broken in GZDoom.

Incoming shitstorm

>>1623246
Dis gon' be gud

>>1623190
It would need like 8 belts or something to feed off of.

The entire point of the rotating barrels was to feed bullets rapidly at a constant pace.
That minigun would be like BLAM.. BLAM.. BLAM.. BLAM and that's kinda cool if it was fed with shotgun shells.

>>1623267

I know, my point is that none of the weapons are portrayed realistically in doom, so a magical super space minigun that fires through all barrels at the same time (and rotates for whatever reason) isnt that much of a stretch.

>>1623298
I don't know, the Super Shotgun makes sense.

>>1623308

I guess that's the only weapon that's somewhat realistic, seeing as doomguy actually has to reload it. But it's really the exception more than the rule

>>1623298
Even then there is still a bit of logic behind it.

For the Chaingun the top barrel is the only one with the muzzle flash rather than the whole front setting aflame.

>>1623298
I think what annoys me more isn't even how that weapon is dumb, it's how it's dumb and not even tenth as cool and awesome and totally overpowered as an actual fucking minigun with 4000-6000 rpm would be.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

>>1623341
I always felt like the Doom chaingun was unsatisfying as fuck. DoomRLA's Minigun made me very happy. Particularly when I turned it into the demo ammo assembly.

Also what setup do you guys use for recording webms? I feel like this came out really shitty for its filesize.

>>1623378
>>1623341
Sounds pussy and does not do much damage.
Dukes chaingun cannon in Samsara is basically a chaingun that always does max damage and it's a good balance to the plasma rifle I think.

How do I delete sector tags in Doombuilder 2?

I've got sectors no longer using a tag and I delete the sector tag when I select the sector, but it doesn't actually delete.

Set the sector tag to zero.

>>1623308
>a shotgun that fires six extra pellets magically from every shell it's given
Makes sense?

>>1623107

>>1623537
Extra THREE per shell.
And you could just as easily say the standard shotgun magically fires three fewer pellets per shell.

>>1623569
Yeah, sorry, three per shell, six per pair of shells.

Still, it doesn't really make sense. I'd say none of the Doom weapons make any sense.

>>1623537
Don't think of the pellet count.

Think of the sawed off shotgun having a wide spread and the break action reloads.

>>1623569
also, the standard shotgun magically fires four pellets per shell fewer when fired by a zombie

>>1623579
Clearly, the dudes who got possessed had been issued oodles of the REALLY shitty ammo and the demons weren't smart enough to use the four actually good shells on the side of the gun.

>>1623608
this also explains why zombie shotgun pellets do 3*d(5) (that is, {3,6,9,12,15}) points of damage as opposed to the player's 5*d(3) per pellet (i.e. {5,10,15})

>>1623617
AND explains why no matter how many times a zombie shoots at you, you get the same amount of ammo. Doomguy's not even TOUCHING the crap ammo everybody else was issued.

>>1623617
So zombie pellets have a lower minimum damage and a flatter probability curve than the player. You can tell the designers put a shitton of thought into this.

>>1623727
>You can tell the designers put a shitton of thought into this.
heh i always just thought it was a typo...

>>1621401
my level is about 2/3rd done

There's mods for people who actually want their guns, monsters and levels to make things logically or scientifically explainable.

Until then, I'm just going with Doom's shit being designed the way it was for the sake of gameplay in the same way Doom's levels were only loosely based on what you were supposed to be going through.

Come on, it was a 90's action game where you run around shotgunning demons. Everything was just justified by how cool and fun it was.

Then again, they were D&D nerds. Even though it just seemed like Tom Hall was the one who wanted the deep lore while Romero wanted gameplay to take priority. Who knows.

>>1623762
Poppoppop guns (P and CG) are not fun or cool. Well okay, CG can be nice to chew through popcorn, but that fucking sound. Doom 64 sprite and sounds instantly make CG like 20 times more enjoyable to use, and I don't even think it does any more damage than original one.

>>1623762
>Everything was just justified by how cool and fun it was.

Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why the game is good, don't use it.
Either way, being amused or entertained with something and being immersed are not the same thing.

Let's see how many people don't get this.

>>1623569
That's simple anon. It's called the SUPER shotgun for a reason, it's super.

>>1623779
Is it a game with three times the marketing budget then development costs?

Because if it is I have no idea.

Remember:

>>1623772
It's okay-ish if you imagine it's an assault rifle, which it pretty much is in functionality.
I actually kind of like it, but it sounds so weak if you use it after using the SSG and shit after a while.
I agree that D64 CG is way better though.

This is not the actually-minigun fire mode.
This is the flamethrower mode.
You have a minigun that is also a flamethrower.

I cannot believe you just said that

How about this, then?

So, I'm replaying Ultimate Doom and I gotta say that I like it's level design a lot more than the second game's. Anyone else feels like this?

>>1623914
Dude, you think I remember them without names? The first Favelas map was pretty good in MW2, and I remember some others being okay too.

>>1623918
of course
doom 2's level design is like a child who just got into doom modding, just throw a big room with a bunch of enemies at the player and hope that it's fun
the only good maps are designed by john romero

>>1623918

Doom 2's level design is pretty lackluster, they even seem less detailed than in the first which is weird.

They're not all bad, but too many of them rely on fucking dumb gimmicks, like barrels of funs and tricks & traps.

>>1623896
its just a skellyman who appears out of thin air and punches you in the face maybe it was a bad design decision... [/spolier]

>>1623932
i thought those were really neat

>>1623806
Lotta fun. More sprawling than the others, and I liked the increased difficulty at the end. Should probably jump up the difficulty on newer maps anyway, so it doesn't get too easy down the line.

>>1623889
Screw it. No deadline. Heheh. I just wanted to place a fire under people who were on the edge. Willing to accept mutliple entries too. Since it's all anonymous anyway :-p. Feel free to include level names too. Right now they're all names "200, 200mins, 200minutes, 1"...

We won't fill out a megawad at this rate anyway. 5 entries so far. Pretty decent levels for 200 minutes so far though. I've played 4... onto the 5th.

Short but sweet. A little harsh from a pistol start for me, but hitscanners fuck me up so, that might just be me.

>>1623959
Being harsh from a pistol start is good btw. Since
>Should probably jump up the difficulty on newer maps
So. Good.

>>1623914
I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong at all with linear level design. Some of the most enjoyable and popular games out there are linear.

Though I do think the Call of Duty-esque "Corridor" level design gets dull pretty fast. I wish there were more shooters with level design like the first three Halos. They progress in a linear fashion, but the levels themselves are fuck huge, wit secrets and easter eggs tucked away into the nooks and crannies, and the "Epic" events aren't scripted.

>>1623806
here >>1623896
just ate something and beat it.
My thoughts (this is my first time playing a user made wad)
+Level design was big and gave the player a lot of free range
+Nice difficulty throughout (final fight was awesome)
+/- The amount of ammo made me feel like I was playing Resident Evil. Not sure if I really dislike this, but I like having a lot of shells in my Shotty.
-Not a fan of the design (artistically, not gameplay). This is a personal gripe, but I prefer Doom's hell way more than Doom's moon base levels in terms of looks.
-Felt lacking in terms of secrets, besides the orb thing (terrible at Doom item names) there wasn't anything else.
-THAT SKELETON PIECE OF SHIT
All in all a fun map and I'm excited for more.
7-7.5/10.

It works pretty well, I mean, ep 1 of doom is somewhat believable as a space base and the level design becomes progressively abstract from there.

>>1624069
On anything past XP you need either Dosbox or one of the sourceports. General rundown:
Chocolate Doom if you want the most vanilla experience
ZDoom if you want advanced single player and mod support
GZDoom is the above but with prettier graphics and evn more mods.
Zandronum is for multi.
ZDaemon is for old-school multi.

>>1624069
>touhou
LOOK AT THIS FAGGOT AHAHAHA

Software trouble mostly depends on what source port you're using. For the most part, though, if you like Multiplayer, get Zandronum and if you like singleplayer, get GZDoom. Both of those are extremely stable on Windows 8.
Let us know if you have trouble with 'em.

>>1624126
nobody has an irrational hateboner,and he's currently working on more monsters,working with BD will come later

>>1624134
Oh,and i forgot to ask,how do i assemble the Mother-in-law?
i recall it was any Rocket Launcher with 2 F-Storms and 2 nanos

>>1624126
>mike12yo
AHUEHUEHUEHUE

>let hdoom work with brutal doom
Why? It's a sex mod, not a brutality mod.

>>1624139
Rocket Launcher + PPNF

Has to be the normal rocket launcher.

>>1624134
Yeah, that thing is just crazy. Nanomanufacture anything single shot tends to be bonkers, where as nanomanufacture'ing something with a large magazine tends to just be OK.

>>1624139
PPNF.

>>1624126
What? Does the current compatibility mod AGITATE you?

>>1624147
>>1624148
>PPNF
Why i never though on this?
Anyway,the Napalm Launcher with Nano ammo is already enough power,shame that i am playing marine and i still havent found the BFG10K

>>1624126
>wants to play a sex mod with brutal doom
Who's the 12-year-old here again?

>>1624138
>nobody has an irrational hateboner

Hah. Hah. Hah.

>>1624081
Can you post a MEGA link? Mediafire isn't working for me.

>>1624095
Cool cool. Doesn't work in vanilla doom, though. Can't find STEPTOP. I assume you're using UDMF or something, and used a wall texture as a flat. (Under the mancubus)

>>1624165
>>1624151
>>1624162
Not liking a mod is fine
Going out of their way to shit all over people who play it is not fine

>>1624186
>Going out of their way to shit all over people who play it is not fine

It's a joke. It doesn't ruin playability because HDoom was completely borked when you tried to run it with BD in the first place.

>>1624186
It's a matter of it being fucking stupid, not a matter of disliking the mod. Why do you even want to play hdoom with Brutal Doom in the first place?

>>1624186
Boo fucking hoo. I guarantee you Mike12 doesn't give a shit what you play. It's just a joke.

>>1624095
It's somewhat cool, but it could use some touch-ups. I like the start, but the room with the skeleknight is easy to avoid. I ran over the falling floor by mistake, so I was safe while the skeleknight just walked around in his sad, pitiful pit, agitated. As for the final room (the one with the Cyber Demon) it was too easy. I ran in a circle, hit the switch and ran out. Then ran past the fat fuck and won.
It's too easy to avoid most of the conflict, you should try to fix that, not sure how though.
Besides that it has potential.

>>1624186
Going out of their way to shit on somebody who would want to seriously combine the two wads is perfectly okay, because A. running the two mods together would give you a broken piece of shit, and B. if you actually -want- the mods to work together, you're a failure at life.

speaking of hateboners.

also go easy I'm not good at this whole "coloring" thing

>>1624203
You mean Mancubus. Cyberdemons are tall and shoot rockets.

>>1624181
I didn't use UDMF format, I did use stairs so that might have broke vanilla and I really can't use wall textures as floors? Damn.

>>1624126
>>1624186
the acs source is right there
you could just
you know
read it and change it

>>1624219
By fat fuck I meant Mancubus, but I was mistaken about the Cyber Demon. It was a Baron of Hell, my bad. Anyway, that room (right after Skeleknight tele and after the room with the 2 colonels and Imps) was too easy. It seems like it'd be a challenge, but it is too easy to dodge. If it replace the Hell Knights with Barons of Hell, and the Baron of Hell with a Cyber Demon, and then make the room bigger and stuff some guns and ammo inside, it could be a great final fight, but as it stands now it's simply too easy.
>>1624234
see pic

>>1624160
Speaking of the BFG10K, I recommend slapping a Firestorm pack on it if you can find the gun and a spare pack. I was just experimenting since I'm drowning in packs as a technician. You won't be disappointed.

Exotic packs seem to do special stuff to unique weapons that isn't immediately obvious. I put a sniper pack into the Lightweaver and the alt fire became some kind of ball projectile similar to a BFG shot but it seemed like a downgrade from the hitscan rapelazer it already was.

If you can find a Plasma Shotgun, try applying the Plasmatic Shrapnel assembly to it. Good stuff.

>>1624234
Thank you

>>1624196
>>1624209
But it wasn't broken, it worked perfectly fine
They intentionally broke it

What's the best way to play Quake 1 online in 2014?

I'm not even the guy who you are replying but, what the hell guys? Why is touhou bad? -other than the easy difficulty-
Personally I like how the bullet patterns are meant to depict things, ad not to mention the girls... because we like girls isn't it?

>>1624251
I think it's because the Touhou community generally likes to shove it in front of everyone's faces that they like Touhou.

>>1624251
Space ships are so much cooler that little girls. Why would I play as a little girl when I could play as a space ship? It's mostly a joke, I like Touhou just like to pick fun at it.
But space ships are way better than little girls.

>>1624246
It is broken. The graphics are all over the place and there are bugs out the ass.

Oh, and we're never going to support BD in any way.

>>1624251

Touhou is very shallow gameplay-wise and focuses entirely on flash and style over notable substance.
I don't actually fervently hate it, though, I'm just giving him a hard time.

>>1624264
It is very pretty and sounds very nice though. Shame about the gameplay.

>>1624234

>>1624260
>whynothaveboth.jpg
A lot of shmups are about girls piloting spaceships.

Anyway, I agree with you but that doesn't make 2hu shit

>>1624264
Touhou greatest sin is being shallow and the fanbase being mostly kids. Otherwise it's acceptable.

>>1624087
>>1624082
>>1624074
I downloaded zdoom and played for like 30 minutes. No troubles, besides swap usage went to 99%. I'm not sure what that means.

After 9 years I finally watched DOOM: The Movie

it wasn't as bad as I presumed, it's still bad... but not god awful

/vr/ thoughts over the "adaption"

>>1624216
One word: Gradients. Drawing looks nice. Though a little artifacty.

Here it is with a cheap gradient overlay on the whole skelly.

>>1624274

>Hdoom has this
>TSP has a rap asking what the hell you're doing in the mod files

We need more mods that have shit like this laying around in the files

>>1624272

Oh, it's definitely very pretty and has a ton of excellent music. It's quite clear that ZUN is very talented on the design front, it's just a shame that his gameplay really doesn't hold up.
There's an endless amount of shmups that have a lot more depth, like Jets n' Guns, Radiant Silverguns, Guwange...
Hell, Twinkle Star Sprites is easily my personal favorite shmup, and it's the same "play as a magical girl" thing.

>>1624285
Meh.

>>1624286

I didn't draw it. I just colored over pic related very poorly.

Speaking of DoomRL, I think my personal RNG just broke a new record: TWO Nightmare Cyberdemons on map02, with no rocket launcher, plasmagun or even super/double shotgun. I had to play peek-a-boo with my chaingun for half an hour to drop the first bastard. Not even thirty seconds later I met its twin. I just said 'fuck it' and cheesed it out using Oblige's love for abstract architecture. It dropped this beauty.

>>1624282

Hmmm, that's interesting. What mod were you playing, or were you going vanilla? Were you using any filters or fancier graphical effects?

>>1624282
It means it's time to put the 2hu down and play some Gradius
or Thunder Force
or Strikers 1945 plus
You know what
Screw Gradius and Thunder Force, just play Strikers
>>1624285
I want to but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm still wating for a Doom OVA or something.

>>1624294
Forgot pic

>>1624286
>>1624216
And it's a common thing to have 2 light sources, one for your base lighting and one for your rim lighting. Rim lighting generally backs up your shadows to make it feel more 3D-ey.

Here it is after I scribbled all over it.

>>1624297

Or R-Type, Zero Wing's also pretty decent

>>1624301

Woah how the fuck did you do that anyway, with the "light sources"

>>1624285
It buttfucked the lore for no particular reason, making everything into "mutants" instead of demon spawn from the pits of hell. It's a fun enough movie but definitely a bad one.

>>1624294
>>1624298
You're playing marine? Put a firestorm mod on that fucker ASAP.

>>1624282

Swap usage is space on your hard drive reserved to actually run things. That means you either have a lot of things running at once, or you need to tweak your settings to run things more smoothly.

>>1624287
>>TSP has a rap asking what the hell you're doing in the mod files
Oh shit, really? Post it!
brutal doom has doomguy mounted on a cacodemon
>>1624274
I like it. Calling it Brutal Shit is uncalled for really.

>>1624304
Sonic Wings is also pretty rad IMO
>>1624307
Sankyuu~

>>1624297
>Gradius
I think that one's free on GOG.

>>1624312

Just explore the files anon. last time I checked the rap was in the root folder of TSP.

>>1624315
I think you're mistaken friend. Unless my google-fu failed me.

>>1624313
no problem.
>>1624315
that's tyrian

>>1624319
Man, I love the Deagle, it's got some nice power to it.
That's really the biggest flaw with Vanilla Doom. The pistol sucks.

>>1624292
Oh. Well my points are still there anyway...

>>1624304
Just imagine someone is shining a light onto the skelly. What places would light up, and what places would be in shadow. Then imagine them shining a light from behind the shadowed area as well. It's often a good idea to make the lights different colors. Just make sure the colors go well together (unless you're just studying value, in which case black and white is the way to go)

Paint in broad strokes then get more refined as you go.

>>1624319
>>1624318
Right, it was that one.
The music's neat.

>>1624321
It's supposed to be the brenten from miami vice, but it actually is a bit more powerful and faster than vanilla. I'm going to have various pistols later on that you can trade with a pawn shop owner. I actually got Clint from LGR to agree to do the voice for him too.
>>1624326
It's a great game. Right now I'm playing a ton of Apidya for the amiga. It's gradius, 'cept you're a bee. I'm also trying to hunt down a copy of Rtype for my sega master system.

>>1624321
I think that was the point of it, but yeah.
I would have prefered if the pistol was like in Polished Skull. A revolver wouldn't make much sense but it would still be cool.

hey, GMOTA Guy

>>1624312
Not really. For those folks, BD is like their heart and soul, so it's pretty much just a straight-for-the-jugular insult.

I mean hell, this thing effects BDSE too, and I actually enjoy BDSE.

>>1624359
goddamn he totally missed the chance to make it bdsm

>>1624081
neat, thanks

i just downloaded some WADS and the Doom Builder. i've seen the tutorial videos on the side.
Wish me luck Anon.

>>1624295
>>1624309

zdoom with doom.wad
The only program running was chrome.

I like to think that all the weird things that happens are always W8 fault.

>>1624297
B-but my little girls!

>>1624369
Good luck.

Give a 200 minute map a go. Good first project.
