Duke Hard released for Duke Nukem 3D.
It's a 17maps community episode by the Duke4 community (involved 15 mappers and 17 people total).
Requires EDuke32.

Depends how big and detailed you want to make it. Some of the mappers say they made their maps pretty fast for the episode like map05 in around 8 hours, map15 in 11hours.

The boss map took me 5-6 days of non stop mapping and it's only about 5-7 mins of gameplay.

however I got into Doom mapping (using Doombuilder2) recently and I have to say Duke3D mapping takes a lot more time and is a lot more complicated.
It's mainly due to how you have more freedom, and can do a lot more things in Duke3D. For instance, you don't do 'sector based' shading (which is pretty fast; but also very limiting), you do wall-based shading (you have to shade every surface individually).
Also, since Duke3D has tons of effects, they're a lot harder to make. For instance, to make a basic swing door you need to tag the sector properly, then add a special sprite which you have to tag properly to set the right effect (and that sprite has to be at the right spot and at the right angle so the door opens the way you want it), then if you want sound you need to add another effect sprite and tag it according to both the start and stop sounds you want. You CAN also add another effect sprite controlling speed of the door.
Compared to Doom doors which are all the same kind and which is as simple as 'tag the wall'
Also, even though mapster32 has added tons of very useful small features which make mapping easier and more comfortable; it still uses the old DOS interface based on obscure key combinaisons. It's not as user friendly and easy to understand as modern Doom map editors.

[Anonymous No.1712484]

So what capabilities does EDuke have that Doom could benafit from?

[NESfag No.1712489]

>>1712484
This is just a very small feature but it's all i can think of right now (i'm not the best person to talk about eduke32's awesome features since i'm mainly a 'classic style' guy; but basically I heard you can do anything you want with eduke32. someone even made a prototype shmup).

in mapster32, in 3D mode, when holding right click (or space) it 'locks' what you are editing; so you can keep editing it without having to worry whether you're still aiming at it or not.

AFAIK this feature isn't in Doombuilder 2 and imo it's very convenient. Especially when you want to do some major height changes for a sector, with no locking feature, you constantly have to go up alongside the sector.

I'm guessing you're playing a standard source port right? There's no limit to the amount of dudes a Pain Elemental can shoot out. In the original game, there was a limit. The levels are balanced around that limit. Go into compatibility thing and set things to Doom Strict. Makes it easier.

The "Go play KDITD from start to finish on UV ironman (no saving, restart if you die), then post your final time, ss of finish screen, or even a demo here" challenge is still ongoing for people that want to give it a shot, or give it a second attempt.. It's not sourceport specific, so do it in whatever you want, though PrBoom+ makes it easy to record demos.

How to record Demos in PrBoom+:

Create a shortcut to the .exe and then modify the shortcut to have the following

"[path]" -file [wad] -complevel [number] -skill [number] -warp [number] -record [demoname]

so for instance to make the demo "vre1.lmp" my shortcut was

"C:\Program Files\prboom-plus-2.5.1.3\prboom-plus.exe" -iwad doom -complevel 9 -skill 4 -warp 1 -record vre1

There have been plenty of Doom mods that have created their own content, including 3D stuff.

2D stuff is numerous to list, but off the top of my head Risen3D's models and ZanZan (no, ZanZan isn't Zandronum)

>It's like that site the community use as a resource of "free" textures/enemies/etc ; it has content taken from plenty of different games, either with shitty edits or as is, but NEVER with credits saying where the original come from.

Except everyone in the ZDoom community is fanatical about crediting sources. You will get your project taken down and possibly banned if you don't provide a credits list. You'll be outright banned if you claim the work of others as your own, either from inside or outside the Doom community. Most mods and maps have extremely exhaustive credits lists.

>Even ZDoom itselft has stolen, like the slope code illegaly taken from another game without crediting it.

>This seems to be a common misconception. Build draws slopes vertically, just like walls, and suffers from some terrible cache thrashing as a result. ZDoom draws them horizontally, just like regular flats. The code is quite different, and ZDoom was drawing slopes before the Build source was ever released. ZDoom even uses Michael Abrash's fdiv trick for doing the perspective divide in parallel with the rendering.

Being the most optimistic motherfucker on gawd's green earth, I must declare that I'm also realistic.

Let's get things clear, all it would take to finish Mordeth is JUST the right person who gets in contact with Lahaut, studies the level design of the first episode, and he'll get the second episode actually done. On the other hand, the Doom Bible project just...it just refuses to get done on a pre-release form

And let us not forget that a person involved in said project also started out a Boom mapping project focused on redoing KDIZD in an attempt to "mock" Tormentor, and lo and behold, not even the first map has been fucking done.

Now let's see Metroid: Dreadnought, what happened? A random person asked something to Terminus via Tumblr, and fucking BAM! Months later? We got an almost complete TC.

I would go into an effort post, but I think it would be wasted effort.

Basically Zdoom is fairly case specific, you can get detailed things going but from what I understand it's all workarounds and stuff involving inventory.

Eduke32 gives you absolute control over just about anything. You can code anything you want, but the flip side is that you have to do alot of work yourself since there's only a very small amount of hardcoded features available. Getting a friendly AI in Doom for instance is easy as fuck, but you have to code your own system from scratch in Duke. Same goes for hub systems, the base code is there but you have to make your own to do anything with it.

There's no built in reloading or alt-fire either, but the beauty is that you're not limited by the way GZdoom do it either if you do it yourself from scratch.

I can go into more detail if anybody wants to hear more.

EDuke32 scripting is interpreted, like JavaScript. It is technically possible to strip out all the formatting and human-readable labels, but that hasn't been seen since the DOS days.

However, the Duke community despises the Doom community's tendency to rip off everyone and everything. Looking at someone else's code to learn is one thing, but ripping it off wholesale is unheard of.

ZBlood? A sacrilege to Monolith Software's Blood. It's worse than Doom's and Blood's worst qualities combined.
Aeons of Death? An abomination. Literally nothing is original--every 90s FPS makes an appearance in some mangled form. Imagine the Ripley 7 from Alien Resurrection.

Ah, so you'd have to go grab each file you wanted to examine and see how they did something. Still seems like a code repository would speed things up so people aren't separately duplicating functionality. Maybe even a library of common functions.

>However, the Duke community despises the Doom community's tendency to rip off everyone and everything. Looking at someone else's code to learn is one thing, but ripping it off wholesale is unheard of.

See, this is where I don't understand the different use of "ripping off." I wouldn't consider using someone else's work while crediting them to be ripping off.

If you're using something saying "this is my work" when it isn't, that's obviously unacceptable but I don't get the mentality that someone using someone's work while crediting that person is somehow bad or makes the original worse. Plus for some simple things there would probably be a limited amount of ways to similar ways to code it, and with people having not to use others' code it seems like you would end up with less than optimal coding for some stuff, all for the sake of originality.

>ZBlood? A sacrilege to Monolith Software's Blood. It's worse than Doom's and Blood's worst qualities combined.
>Aeons of Death? An abomination. Literally nothing is original--every 90s FPS makes an appearance in some mangled form. Imagine the Ripley 7 from Alien Resurrection.

Again, I don't see the reason these are "sacrilege." Neither is my cup of tea, but since neither claims others' work as their own I don't have a problem with them. They don't denigrate the original works they're using stuff from.

See what I said above about efficiency and preventing people from separately duplicating functionality, which is pretty much 100% lost time. That's a lot of time and energy lost for the sake of originality, especially if the end results are identical or nearly so for the player.

>If you can't handle the ropes without stealing code from someone else, *you shouldn't be modding*.

I don't think this is a good mentality to have. You probably end up with a lot less people modding, including noobs that will eventually become experienced modders, because of it. You're basically requiring people to know how to code before taking up modding, which severely limits the pool of potential modders.

Does the Doom community have a lot of crappy content? Yes.

But we also have a ton of great content, and it's because of the ease of use, the same reason there's so much crappy content. It's worth it to me, and others in the community, to have to ignore the crappy content for the wealth of good content that gets produced.

>>wanting mod teams to create original content, something done ALL THE TIME, is wrong

Here's the thing you're either failing to understand or willfully ignoring:

Everything released in the Doom community is entirely noncommercial, something done in people's spare time for fun, released for free. Anything done with ZDoom is in practice unable to be sold. Sure you can sell just the IWAD and then have an installer that downloads everything , but that's a pretty silly workaround for something that would sell for, at most, a dollar or two. And probably be shunned by the community and pirated to here and back.

There are a handful of Doom projects that use entirely 100% original sprites, sounds, textures and other assets. 100% code if you count decorate as "original code."

But most of the teams that would go to the effort to make entirely original assets (something even a large percentage of indie games don't do, instead opting to license stuff) will actually want to sell their work, something the Build Engine allows but ZDoom doesn't. This is why you usually don't see dedicated teams working to create entirely original work for free, because it has to be done for love of the game solely, which isn't as much of a driving force as money.

What you do see are plenty of mods or maps that have partially original work, or even 100% original sprites, art, textures, music, sounds or code, but usually not all of them at once.

>>1714157
>If the original author has not given explicit permission, it's ripping off. Credit itself does not absolve you.

And most of the Doom community respects permission. The people that don't are usually ostracized. There's no way to proactively prevent people from using stuff without permission until they make their project known, and even then it might not be known at first due to unfamiliarity with the stolen work or (in most cases) limited visibility of the work using the assets. Use of commercial assets falls under fair use.

I still don't understand the mentality of people that restrict the use of their code when their code is written in a proprietary language for an open-source engine that wouldn't even be available to them if others before them had the same mentality that they do.

>>They don't denigrate the original works they're using stuff from.
>On the contrary, ZBlood is more visible to the Doom community than the original game, to the point where it's considered original content out of ignorance.

I don't think that's true, but if someone is that ignorant to early FPS then I don't think they would know about the original Blood anyway, so it's probably a step from the awareness they would have had otherwise. And they can always learn about Blood later on.

This probably wouldn't be anywhere near the case if the Blood source code had just been released already. In fact I doubt ZBlood would even exist.

The vast majority of crappy work is given crappy reception and forgotten. A select few are memorialized for being exceptionally crappy.

But there's literally no way to prevent people from releasing "crappy finished projects" unless all the Doom community forums start having all project posts require moderator approval before getting posted, which seems like a bad thing to do.

I think you're being intentionally obtuse, but I'm talking specifically about code in those instances.

And yes, if someone codes something from scratch with love and care (say a gun that reloads after 5 shots), and someone codes the same functionality by ripping someone else off, and yet a third someone codes something with the same functionality from scratch with love and care but in an entirely different manner which is original when compared to the first guy, then yes it is basically identical for the player.

But for anyone that isn't id Software, if they made Doom 2 when Doom 2 didn't exist, it could only be released as a mod without id's permission.

Alright I've been looking at this for a while and it's about time you sit down and listen to a little story here.

So I'm a coder. I've been doing this for a few years, and I'm pretty alright at what I do. I'm no beginner. I largely work on my own, although I do partner up with other people at times. I can get shit done, and I can do a bit of graphical work here and there. Sound editing is mostly off-limits to me, and modeling is still largely impenetrable, despite my attempts. But I can code pretty well, and in ZDoom and Zandronum that alone can get you far.

But not on its own.

See, most mods require sprites and sounds. There are the mutators like Oneshot and Parkmore and Shared Resources that can get by with pure code, and there's things like ACSTris where the bar is so low graphically that it's nonexistent, but for most everything else, you're gonna need sprites. Weapon sprites, monster sprites, UI sprites, whatever. They're also gonna need sounds. After all, who's gonna use a gun that doesn't go bang? Who's gonna fight a demon that doesn't growl and snarl, or in HDoom's case, moan? And sound goes great with any UI; it gives you more confirmation that things are happening, and it means you can keep your eyes on the bipedal rocket-launcher-armed monstrosity of a prize.

How am I gonna be able to meet these sound and sprite requirements? Am I going to stick with stock Doom sprites and sounds? Sometimes I do. But those are my coding experiments. People don't want to play mods that only use stock Doom sprites and sounds; we want something different.

But the Doom engine is also very, and I mean VERY, limited in terms of what it can do, especially with level geometry. It doesn't have collision detection, it can't generate true 3D physics, it can't generate sloped ground, etc. When your framework is that limited, putting in the effort to really overhaul things is sorta pointless.

I mean at that point why even bother using the Doom engine? Just grab something like, as you mentioned, Unreal. Or Unity, or even Cryengine.

The Doom engine is really a product of its time and it's quite dated by now. I will agree with you that more interesting and varied games would be great but there's only so much you can really do.

[Anonymous No.1714328]

<continuing>

Turns out some nice guys on Realm 667, on the ZDoom forums, and what have you make some really nice weapon sprites. Turns out AAA video games have some really nice sound effects, as they should - after all, they have professional sound teams. They'd work great for my weapons - much better than SGN2A0. So I put them on, and after going through a few sprite and sound sets, I find a set that works perfectly.

Well, almost perfectly. Turns out one of the sprite sets I'm really fond of is a bit lacking, so I decide to try my own hand at extending the sprites and adding more punch to them. I show it to an accomplished spriter, and he says it's pretty good, so I use it.

So now I have a set of nice, smooth weapon sprites, and clean, punchy sounds. I like them a lot, and I feel like my code complements the resources very nicely. It's all dandy, so I package it all up, with ample credits to the companies and people whose resources I used.

People play the mod. They like the mod a lot, so I know I've hit something good. In fact, one person likes the mod so much he goes ahead and makes a monster pack for it! That's great. It's a lot more than what I was expecting!

But according to your view that all resources must be original, my mod is now scum. Despite the fact that the code is 100% mine, the gameplay is solid, the sprites and sounds work very well together, and everything complements each other nicely, it's now scum because not *everything* is original.

Yeah, but ZDoom multiplayer is terrible. It's janky to get running, easily falls apart for everyone if anyone has a somewhat slow connection, and is really only worthwhile on a LAN or with 2 players. Zandronum is the way to go for multiplayer.

>What's stopping you from creating some sort of cooperative mini-mmo experience,

This already exist, or at least a mini Diablo style rpg leveling system.

If you mean something more permanent through games then there is some stuff being done in Zandronum that might make it possible some day.

The first has been attempted multiple times, never finished. The second is in the works and snippets are being posted in this very thread.

Pretty much all the people that have been replying to you with serious posts have coded various Doom mods and release their code freely even though this is certainly a possibility and most have had this happen to them, sometimes without credit being given

Then that's still not comparable to ZDoom modders, since any mods made can never be commercialized and any experience gained from modding ZDoom will not be applicable for modding in an engine that does allow commercial licensing.

How about we apply the four-factor fair use test, since that's what judges actually use?

>In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
>1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
The purpose is to make a gameplay modification for people to enjoy. It is not at all commercial, and never could be, given the nature of the ZDoom engine.

>2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
It is a sound of, for example, a double-barreled shotgun firing, and its actions. Nothing really huge.

>3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
It's a shotgun sound. It doesn't define the game at all. Another one could easily be swapped in and no one would care.

>4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Absolutely nothing. It's a non-profit mod for a 20 year old game.


Going by this, yeah fair use applies, and it's okay for us to use it.

I've noticed a lot of romhacking and modding exists in legal grey areas. I don't think anything has been challenged in courts, and by and large companies don't care. This is small time stuff for obscure games.

The only thing I can think of is fan games getting shut down. A full 3D remake of Chrono Trigger was shut down. A 2D MLP:FiM fighting game was shut down too. The reason is that these were very good and modern and they claimed that it infringed on their copyright.

Because you're comparing people getting paid to create games to people modding in their spare time. This is an unfair comparison because you can spend way more time doing something when you're getting money to do it. Unless someone is independently wealthy they can't mod for 8 hours a day every day and not starve in the street.

I don't know why you're having this huge discussion then if you don't know that much about ZDoom modding, but ACS is kinda a simple C and Decorate really isn't similar to any other code that exists. Expertise in either one won't really transfer to working with anything else.

That's not how the test works. You're including potential, hypothetical illegal actions by parties other than the one that originally used the asset in their mod. That isn't how fair use works.

With that standard you could disallow movie reviews from using any footage from films in their review because others might think the film was free to distribute and showing how much a film sucks (if it was a bad review) would cause the value of the film to plummet.

Modding is more than just coding. That's like saying you're not allowed to make textures or maps in a team if you don't know what the programmer knows about the engine's secrets.

Should probably take a look at the Doom source code, then, so I'm not talking out of my ass.

The difference is that they can create licensed games in the engine after a time spent working on mods. Many if not most teams that create successful mods in such engines end up doing just that. Learning the engine is an investment towards future licensed creations. Doom modding isn't even enough to put on a resume as a sidenote, really.

Show me a team that creates a mod for such an engine that uses 100% original assets that doesn't end up commercializing it or a version of it at some point.

>Learning new syntaxes always helps, believe it or not.

[Anonymous No.1714525]

>>1714515
Phrased wrong, not my first language. I mean after they've done a few mods on whatever engine they can't license, they usually end up stepping up and grabbing something like Unity or Unreal Engine to create a new game.

1) Create a proof of concept with ZDoom
2) Get a couple of talented, interested people jumping to help you
3) Release a nice mod regarldess of how much of it is original
4) Realize you have a team that's now capable of doing games from scratch for Unity
5) Follow your dreams
6) ??? etc.

And the earlier quote:
>This is how actual game development teams end up together as well
I mean actual as in actual teams that know what they're doing and have a common goal, not "actually in commercial development".

[Anonymous No.1714532]

Most people that mod for doom aren't interested in making standalone games in other engines.

>3) Release a nice mod regarldess of how much of it is original
>4) Realize you have a team that's now capable of doing games from scratch for Unity

That's just plain retarded. Even if you released a nice mod with 100% original content your team would not be capable of making a game from scratch in Unity.

None of the coding experience would transer to unity. At all.
None of the spriting experience would transfer to unity, unless maybe if you're doing a low res neo-retro sidescroller
None of the mapping experience would transfer to unity. At all.
The texturing experience would not transfer unless you were using low res textures in the new game.

The sound design and music is the only thing that would transfer, assuming again that it was done 100% from scratch.

In short, no, modding for ZDoom provides completely negligible transferable experience which could be used in making a proper game.

[Anonymous No.1714536]

>>1714525
And another thing: The example you provided would still not result in a mod with 100% completely original assets in the ZDoom engine.

Even if every single person that mods for ZDoom followed the outline you put forth, all the creations with 100% original assets would be released completely outside of the Doom modding community.

>>1714537
It isn't hard to get people together. There are a bunch of projects made by teams of people.

It's just that making stuff that is entirely original EVERYTHING is a huge undertaking, team or not. And plenty of people want to work on something by themselves to begin with, or want to work on something that not a lot of other people are as enthusiastic about. So there are things which are 100% completely original from top to bottom, but not everything is like that.

That was your original question: "Why aren't there more 100% original content mods for ZDoom?" It's been answered a bunch of times, and people have pointed out that there are TONS of things which use completely original code, textures, etc, and plenty of things that use 100% original everything. You haven't even said if there is a Duke mod which uses 100% original assets and was still released as a mod or not.

At this point it seems more like you're asking "Why are there ANY mods which don't use 100% original content?"

Yeah but "I know how to make a mod people like" without having any applicable coding experience or know-how to actually execute it outside of ZDoom just makes you an Ideas Guy.

You'd also have to make not just a mod, but mapsets as well, since you can't release a game without maps, which for singleplayer stuff is a huge undertaking as well and takes a while to learn how to do properly.

And again, both of these don't 100% translate to other things. An expert Doom mapper isn't going to just start creating maps in Unity right away.

Right, but you can still build up fundamentals in ZDoom.

There's a direct analogue in programming. Yeah, if you master one relatively oddball language, you're not going to be able to transfer that syntax mastery to other languages at all. But you can still transfer thought patterns over fairly easily, and in fact, when C programmers mass-migrated to C++ (because business) and C++ programmers mass-migrated to Java (because business), you saw exactly that: C ideas in C++, and C++ ideas in Java.

Yeah, you can't transfer over the specifics. That much is obvious. What you can transfer over is the abstract, from knowing how to code efficiently and without many bugs (there will *always* be bugs), to good level design, to knowing what makes a texture work, to knowing what makes a sound work, etc.

ZDoom ain't worthless. It just ain't anything like Unity and UE3.

I'm kinda running into an unusual issue with GZDoom. It's all of a sudden loading VERY slowly, or not playing well.

I had been playing through hellbound using Doom RLA, though I was getting kinda bored of RLA, so I decided to continue from where I was using a different mod (Project MSX), I skipped to map 9, used the Summon command in the console to give myself the equipment I would have at that point in the wad, and then I set out... But then I start getting sudden, heavy, unplayable framerate drops at random, or just from simply firing my guns. So I figure I'll just restart it, I close GZDoom, bring ZDL back up, hit Launch, and it takes a very long time to load, and just ends up crashing. So I close a few programs (Chrome and Steam), no change, still slow, so I remove Project MSX from the external files list, still the same issue.

Anybody have any idea what it could be? I've never had issues playing with MSX or Hellbound before.

Sorry for responding to stuff from the last thread, but I was gone for two or three days and there was some active discussion re: my maps

Here's the full thread if anyone cares:

>not quite. to clarify: the plasma gun and megasphere pillars are secrets, the chaingun and invulnerability pillars are not. this means the two pillars affected by the right switch - both near and far - are secrets, but neither of those affected by the left switch are secret.
>i propose to make the megasphere (far pillar from right switch) and invulnerability (far pillar from left switch) secret, and plasma and chaingun (pillars near to switches) not.
>i don't intend to move the items themselves, just change which pillars are considered secret. i see the purpose of the switches as giving you the weapons, but also having additional, secret effects.

This is all the intended behaviour. It seems I made a mistake and tagged the wrong sectors. (I do remember moving around which items were on which pillars at one point during mapping so it's entirely possible that they were correct at one point.)

>i believe this is intentional. the arachnotrons don't spawn up there, they walk into the teleporters and then get stuck and are trivially telefragged. i consider this a legitimate strategy for playing the level - you can also telefrag four of the mancubi this way - and don't want to change it.

If I could make it so the Arachnos couldn't teleport up there and get stuck, I would. It could perhaps be remedied by increasing the platforms slightly, but that could affect the entire level layout. As-is, it's just a consequence of the game--sometimes monsters go through teleporters and get stuck.

[Anonymous No.1715309]

>i think the intention is to actually go in the final room instead of trying to fight the monster through the doorway, which would be terribly tedious. (i usually save the invulnerability for this.)

This guy knows what's up. Ideally, any player going through the level the first time will be a little surprised to see a Cyberdemon finishing up a Dead Simple-style map, and if they haven't already used the invulnerability, megasphere or other health/powerups in the other secrets, then they can use them there. A player who knows what's coming up will ration out the items instead.

Also, there's another bug where some of the rocket boxes are attached to the Mancubus platforms and go down when they lower for the Arachnos. Just moving them slightly inward will fix the issue; I can do it myself if you want.

Regarding moving the teleporter: There is actually some stupidly complicated line/sector shit going on to make it all look nice while still working as intended, so moving it to the bottom would be harder. Also, it makes it more difficult to find the teleporters at a glance because, as it is now, I usually look for the door when I want to use the teleporters.

>more likely the psx version was based off the older edition without the switch. but i'd be willing to be corrected if there was evidence for it.

PSX Doom is based on Jaguar Doom. This is all done by Williams. The first 8 levels were strongly edited for Jaguar Doom, and they kept it for later ports. The rest of the levels are not as heavily edited.

>>selling Doom covers
>Is this even remotely legal? The songs are already borderline covers as it is. He didn't really make the songs so I don't think he should be able to profit from them.

Well, first off, there are plenty of video game bands that do covers and charge for their shit. Music equipment takes money to buy, and if they do it in a studio, studio time costs money. If he has actual CDs or anything like that, that costs money to print. He should be able to recoup that.

Some video game bands don't pay any licensing fees because they're small enough to fly under the radar. Other guys actually do pay the fees (The OneUps are big on this) and do everything legit.

Regardless of how "borderline cover" the original Doom songs are, I would assume the compositions are nonetheless copyrighted, either by Bobby Prince exclusively or by id. (Given how Bobby used to be a lawyer anyway, he probably made sure he kept all the rights to the music.) Given that he's a working man he probably doesn't give a fuck if people make a little money off the music he wrote 20 years ago, especially when they actually put all the time and money into recording it themselves.

tl;dr it can be legal but this guy probably isn't paying Bobby Prince any money

That being said, he does really good covers. They keep to the original sound of the songs, just using live instruments. I dislike how most covers are heavy remixes.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62697468/Doom%20Stuff/vr%20Music.wad

Here's a music WAD for /vr/speed. There was some replacement music for D_BETWEE which was one of my levels but I didn't like it so I replaced it. The first four are all my levels: D_RUNNI2, D_SHAWN, D_BETWEE and D_DOOM2.

D_BETWEE - D_E2M3 remix by Jay Reichard (Zorasoft.net) from prjdoom.wad
D_RUNNI2 - D_E3M5 remix by Jay Reichard (Zorasoft.net) from prjdoom.wad

D_SHAWN and D_DOOM2 are Slayer midis; I don't think we'll need to credit those because they're goddamned everywhere and I couldn't even find credits on the sites I found them on

I also took the liberty of adding a few more MIDIs that I placed in strategic places, mostly chosen based on the MIDIs I chose and where they fall in the level set. (I thought it would be weird to have the real South of Heaven and then the "fake" one on D_SHAWN2 and D_SHAWN3.) Feel free to use these or not; I would like it if someone who actually cared about the music in Doom gave it a once-over though.

The replaced MIDIs and credits are:

D_SHAWN2 - Aliens, Say Your Prayers! (Duke Nukem 3D E2L7) by Bobby Prince
D_SHAWN3 - 'Darkness' from Castlevania: The Adventure remix by Jay Reichard (Zorasoft.net)
D_ROMER2 - 'Annihilation Awaits' original by Jay Reichard (Zorasoft.net)

Yeah, the new cave area could definitely use more texture variation, since it's too easy for the walls and the floors to blend in to each other at the moment--so sometimes it's hard to see exactly where to go.

Also delicious space jump pickup.

Hey Term, would it be possible to have multiple space jump pickups increase the number of mid-air jumps? Like say instead of just having a jump and a midair jump, picking up another space jump gives you two midair jumps, then another gives you three, and etc?

>both quoted posts are mine
and i actually fixed all this already :) changes.txt for map07 follows

- change which pillars are considered secret. the secret pillars are now always the furthest ones from their button.
- you no longer have to wait for a lift to get credit for the secret at the top of it; just step onto the lowered lift.
- also exchange the tags on the side lifts so you can get both secrets with one button press if you run fast enough.
- move the pillar buttons onto the wall, instead of having them as separate raised columns on the platforms. if an arachnotron teleported up there, it could get stuck in mid air on top of the switch, where it could not be telefragged. (i didn't want to remove the possibility of killing the arachnotrons this way.)
- move the teleporter pads from the north to the south end, move a demon up in front of the pads so it doesn't immediately teleport. by request - "they're really in the way of navigating when you first open the door [to the exit]"
- move four boxes of rockets to not overlap the wall that lowers on death of all mancubi. otherwise they jump up in the air when the wall begins to lower.

i might put the teleporter back because as you say it makes the main arena rather more confusing to navigate.

presenting "AGGRAVATINGLY CRAMPED", a 200 minute mapping challenge entry.

this is a tiny but utterly vicious berserk-fist-only map. after two previously failed attempts, i decided the only way i would make a complete map in <300 minutes with yadex would be to make it very, very small.

there are skill levels implemented, and even on UV, i know it can be maxed, since i already have a demo - indeed, i wouldn't have posted it if i didn't know it was beatable. it might also be disqualified under timing rules - it was made in under 300 minutes but i went over the time limit making balance tweaks (and dying a lot during demo recordings...)

however this map might be considered far too fiendish, and thus inappropriate for the project, and i will cheerfully withdraw the submission if consensus deems it so. i can imagine it breaking up the "flow" of the megawad and people quitting when they reach it.

Well, okay, think of it like this. A mod like Demon Eclipse has a shitload of new shit--so much new shit that it, in all likelihood, will never ever be finished--but it's all the same theme, it's all the same idea, and it's all new content created explicitly for the mod.

Meanwhile you might have something that has an interesting core concept, something that is new and unique or at least fun and interesting. But then on top of that interesting concept, you have a bunch of shit that's completely unnecessary that just shits it up.

For example, Smooth Doom! It's got a great idea--add more frames to monsters, items etc. to make them animate more smoothly. But it also adds extra blood, and has a bunch of stupid shit like added particle effects and Doom64 weapons--some of which you can turn off, but I shouldn't have to turn anything off, it shouldn't be there in the first fucking place.

Imagine a mod that begins simply as a weapons mod, with some fresh new graphics and sounds and some good code behind it, only the guy making it is a little new so he threw in a monster randomizer with a bunch of shit from R667 into it. That's unnecessary, it shits up the mod and doesn't make it worth playing anymore.

It is INFURIATINGLY hard to do, I haven't been able to get it without turning on Jumping and the reward is trash. Why have an Invisibility in a map where getting an Invulnerability is far easier?

Should have been a BFG or Super Armor. IMO

Map creator here.

Unless something changed, you're not supposed to run across the map, you're supposed to push the button and go around the back. There's one in each side of the map; one does hold a Megarmour and the other holds Invisibility--which I agree is kind of useless but fuck dude, I'm not putting a BFG in the game at Map friggin' 7, especially when your only competition at that level is a single Cyberdemon.

[Anonymous No.1716185]

>>1716168
Yeah okay I just looked and the guy switched the tags around for some reason; completely screwing over those secrets. It's hard enough just to get across to get the invulnerability or megasphere, I can't imagine making it the whole way to the other side

If the compiler's argument is that the secrets are too easy to get to, my counterargument is that a beginning player is not necessarily going to realize that those secrets are even there because he's going to be more preoccupied with getting the weapons and spheres.

[Anonymous No.1716187]

>>1716185
Oh and also, a lesser player who isn't good enough to run the whole way across to get the spheres still has a chance of getting their health back before/during the Cyberdemon fight via those secrets. It's kind of a catch-22; a player is either going to try for the Megasphere/invulnerability or they're going to figure out there's elevators behind where they're looking, but the average player probably won't try to get both.

[Anonymous No.1716192]

>>1716187
I think the compiler switched it in the interest of speedrunning; it's possible (although difficult) to get both the Megasphere AND go up the elevator if you're skilled enough, but as the map creator I say fuck that, you don't alter a map to make it easier for a very small subsection of players to be able to beat it even easier; if anything you make it MORE difficult for speedrunners.

[Anonymous No.1716219]

>>1716192
So the tags were switched around? That makes a lot more sense than what I thought was the case, which was that you had to SRFifty or something to get to them, and I couldn't even get THAT to work without still jumping so even speedrunners would be fucked. If the rewards were meant to be much easier to get to, having health/ammo/invisibility in the secrets makes A LOT more sense.

[Anonymous No.1716253]

Is this a custom texture on the window? I've never seen this before.

Unless you specify +NOBLOOD on the monster or +BLOODLESSIMPACT on the weapons, they'll spawn blood.
Unless you change the decal to something like plasma lasers or the rocket scorch, they'll still be bullet chips.

As the map maker: I don't believe that a player should be able to 100% my map AND do it fast. In my mind, you either get all secrets/items OR you do the map fast. If you want to 100% the map, you need to accept that you might have to do it slow.

The only reason the elevator secrets are even there are to provide for players who AREN'T good enough to get the fucking Megasphere or Invulnerability. Look at how you're playing the map; you are good and therefore you clearly don't even need any of the items in those rooms, whereas a player who ISN'T very good and won't be able to get the sphere powerups WILL be able to get to the lifts and get health and extra ammo.

I should also explain: I suck ass at Doom. I bitched that I couldn't beat 200 mins of Going Down (and yet wholly said that I was okay with it remaining because I am not the be-all end-all of Doom players). I also sometimes play it with my girlfriend who is also very fucking terrible--at Doom, at FPS in general, at a lot of video games. And yet she is able to play through the default maps and some degree of user-made maps (solo and with me) because they are designed well for ALL skill levels; not just catering to fucking speedrunners.

The maps might have been made in 200 minutes but that doesn't mean they were designed to be beaten in less than 200 seconds.

It uses the PSX sound though and that was clearly for a pump shotgun.

Also if you look at the Doom 64 shotgun sprite pickup there's no lever.

oh dear. i just woke up and saw all this. i'm really sorry. i did indeed flip the tags round for speedrunning amenability, as the person who posted the webm so neatly demonstrated... i never considered players would find the run hard to do, as, as long as i concentrated on what i was doing, i was able to make both pillar and lift with relative ease.

i didn't think for a second that others might have excessive trouble with it. i sometimes forget that not everyone has obsessively wasted the last 15 years of their life playing this and nothing but this stupid game :(

again sorry everyone, especially onslaught six, for shitting his map up.

Get SLADE and get Spricer. Cut up the frames with Spricer, import them in SLADE, put in the offsets (use Doom2.wad for reference) to line up where it'll be on the screen, fix the transparency (SLADE can do this for you with a few clicks!) and make sure they're named appropriately

Also if you just look in the threads (google "cage doom 64 reloads") I'm sure someone already did the hard part

[Anonymous No.1717306]

>>1717295
It's cool bro. It's easy to forget lesser players when you're making a map; I will openly confess that probably all of my maps (once put side by side with the others in the wad) are kind of the easiest levels in the bunch.

Also like half of those replies are me (O6) so don't feel too bad, I'm just a wordy motherfucker who gets pissy over stuff. I also might have got extra defensive because it's *my* map; I've never done anything notable in the Doom community and these maps (along with the ones I made a few months ago when I first got back into Doom) so I might have been overly cautious of someone else fucking with my "vision."

My points still stand though and I think you were right to revert it back. IMO it's better to err on the side of shittier players than more skilled ones. Experts can always play on Nightmare or with -fast or use mods like HardDoom to toughen up the monsters, but IMO a pure mapset--especially a vanilla mapset--should aim to be playable by the widest selection of players available. (After all, isn't that half of why we were doing it in vanilla in the first place?)

What's with scythe and other megawads that kill you with an icon of sin after each 9 maps?

[Anonymous No.1717308]

>>1717307
Icon of Sin death ends the level.
The player dying at the end of the level at completion forces a pistol start on the next level.

[Anonymous No.1717309]

>>1717308
To what end?

[Anonymous No.1717310]

>>1717309
Usually to signify the end of an episode in Doom 2 and.. Forcing a pistol start.

It's a level design thing.

[Anonymous No.1717314]

>>1717310
Ehh....i can deal with that,but fuck their asses,im going to resurrect because muh weapons,i hate assembling cool shit then said cool shit disappears due icon of sin deaths

[Anonymous No.1717315]

>>1717307
It's to revert the player's inventory and ensure a pistol start. After a few maps, it's easy for the player to become overpowered and lug around a shitload of weapons, making it harder for the mapper to ensure a challenge for the player.

If the player's going 60 miles an hour, you have to go 60 to keep up with him, but if you shoot out his tires and he has to get new ones, you suddenly can prey on him a lot better.

It also emulates Doom 1's episode system rather than Doom 2's megawad format, where the player would play 8 levels (9 with the secret) and then lose all their shit when starting the next episode, which was done for similar reasons. (The other reason is Doom 1's ability to start at any of the episodes without having beaten the episode before it yet. Sometimes I wish Doom 2 was broken up like this; I'd probably like it a lot more.)

In fact, I think even the /vr/speed wad uses it; Punch It! ends with one of these because it's got a lot of ammo/weapons and it's easy to be overpowered going into the maps after it.

I will say that Scythe kind of goes overboard with it; IMO it should only ever be used once, MAYBE twice in a standard megawad.

Like I said above though, that's most of the point, it's a balance issue.

[Anonymous No.1717323]

>>1717318
i have my doubts with the balance issue because when i played hellbound,the woods kicked my ass really good despite i was level 12[i was playing WoC+Hexercise on doom] but again,i can deal with it since it's better to use an icon of sin death rather than making the challenge of the megawad to turn into slaughterhard

i see your point but i think it was intended as an easy, early-megawad map. either way i don't intend to edit it.

Scythe 2 doesn't go full slaughter hard after a forced pistol start.

Usually it's just small but real challenging then escalates hard and quickly.

Don't feel too bad, there were legitimate problems with my map there and you did fix them fine, you just went a little overboard

It's easy to get caught up in it but this is why we have playtesting in the first place. Besides Doom I am also a musician, and that also sometimes involves collaboration, with both artists and other musicians, and the first thing I do when I start working with someone is to go in the craziest direction they can imagine. I might give them a short direction (like "Draw Gypsy Danger punching Godzilla") but then they have to figure out how to execute that; and then they come back to me and then I can go, "Okay, I like this part and this part, but this part is too much so reel that back a little bit."

I wish a handful of the mappers on this hadn't chosen to stay anon because I damn sure would love to work with them on another megawad--perhaps one not limited to 200 minutes per map. (Seriously, Demon HQ guy--get in contact with me, let's work together. And whoever did 200 Minutes of Tech and Duck & Cover.)

As the anon why made Punch It!, I didn't really understand what you meant when you mentioned the icon of sin part of it, because I hadn't actually put it in. I guess the one compiling the maps added that in, but I'm fine with it.

It was originally meant to be a gimmick map where you use berserk punches to kill everything, with guns and ammo as secret bonuses. I guess I kinda went overboard with them though, so again, I think it's kinda warranted for a map that's made really trivial with the goofy amount of guns, ammo, and bonus health and armor I stuffed into the secrets, which are super easy to find.

If another mapping project comes along like this, I'll try not to go too overboard with the secret stuff next time.
