Tried to get this in-game, failed horribly. If I really wanted to I could probably sit down, try to sprite out the actual HUD interface, but i'm too damn lazy and I sure as hell don't know decorate for any of it.

Speaking of Doom [4], I'm just trying to imagine ways to improve the showing, and besides having more supplies actually being in the goddamn map design and keeping bonuses as bonuses for executions, I actually thought about something like FEAR's kick. Double-jump sprint in and kick a Zombie or Imp's head hard enough to ragdoll them clean off a platform or into some spikes, or shit like that. And then make the shotgun more like FEAR's shotgun, a chunky pump-action that blows away singular enemies efficiently and then making the Super Shotgun good for crowd-clearing with extreme prejudice.

Definitely not "ideas guy" material.

Seriously though I know what you mean, I have a few maps that I'm burning to make and since they have been in my head for a few years (seriously) I know they're not going to bugger off. Some aspects of editing are certainly more fun than others, the visual aspects I appreciate much more than say, coding.

The people here have been very helpful though, I've just returned from a 5 month or so absence so I'm getting the hang of editing again.

Well it's not like i'm completely shit. I did make a weapon graphic for the Contra Doom mod because I was bored one day, and some people liked it, but it's too MS Paint basic for my tastes and was quickly made irrelevant anywho.

[Anonymous No.2496857]

>>2496852
Which parts of editing do you like the most?

I like mapping the most, but I think with current trends in the community (judging by what stuff get's at least reasonably completed) more people like making art assets and coding than mapping, but I might be way wrong.

i think it's faster and easier to make a code mod. you can do something in a few dozen lines of ACS/decorate that you and others can play and have fun with on hundreds of existing maps.

actually making a map, especially one to "modern standards" takes a great deal of planning, thought, and careful editing, even with modern tools. not to mention doing hundreds of playtesting runs. you end up entirely sick of your own creation.

[Anonymous No.2496890]

>>2496874
>not to mention doing hundreds of playtesting runs. you end up entirely sick of your own creation.

I can somewhat attest to this.

It's exciting thinking how my map will look but when you see the same thing again and again you have to think about the end point to keep you motivated, unless perhaps you're speedmapping and it's all fresh.

You also need to keep in mind what you know at the creator, so you don't accidentally make it too hard because you get so good at it you know where everything is.

They marketed a game to people that do not play games. For instance, I frequent various game sites, and only heard about it game after the dev's ragequitted the industry.

Do something unique that hasn't been done. Also, draw your hud with vector graphics so you can easily change stuff around before exporting to raster format.

A style of hud that I'd personally be interested in would be an extremely minimal one with the most essential information displayed close to the crosshair, like the HUD of a modern fighter jet. I had a hud like that back when I played quake live and it was amazing.

Something about "Complex Doom"

The mod was made and is maintained by Russians, and Ru->Eng translation is bullshit.
Complex in this context means not complexity, but Difficulty. So, it should be called something like "Difficult Doom". But in Russian "Difficult" and "Complex" are described by the same word, and meaning is derived from the context that is not taken into account by translation software.

I believe it does, since there's no sense of balance regarding the monster replacement and damage AT ALL.
Almost every monster class has a variant that can one-shot you at 100/100, the weakest ones being the shotgun guys, who can spawn with either an SSG or a QUAD Shotgun. And everyone of them are hyper-aggressive.

I believe it's a dick move to not credit someone. I believe it's a dick move to say you made it yourself. I believe it's a dick move to go "pls don't use my stuff pls".
But ultimately it's a free community that thrives on information and resources being distributed around without the burden of any licensing, and people should be contributing resources with the intent of bettering the community and its resulting projects. And if someone wants to be a dick and do any of the above then you can basically do a total of jack and shit--not that you should want to do anything other than shrug, roll your eyes, and go "whatever".

Can't I like both classic and modern?
Sure not everything new is fantastic or without it's own faults, but it's not like old games were all golden.

Remember how frivolously Nintendo would put their 'official seal of quality' on so many desperately mediocre, sub-par or outright atrocious games? 75% of all games on the NES were crap in one way or another, but we remember the precious 25% for being outstanding.

I don't think that's changed, if a modern game doesn't look good to you, don't buy it. If you're skeptical, try a demo or play it at a friends house before making a firm decision.

That's not to say that you shouldn't examine things in a critical light, I have my own issues with Doom 4, I just don't think I've seen enough of the game to determine finally if it's worth my time. I'm excited I will admit, absolutely, because the game does look like it could be fun. Maybe not 'classic Doom 20+ years' of fun, but I'm thinking that it has a chance of being better than Doom 3, and I did have fun with that game, as flawed as it was.

Main fire: Maybe a slow ball of plasma that shoots other plasma - so it would work sorta like BFG10k from Q2, but with rockets.
OR a big plasma ball that drips smaller plasma in a sort of carpet-bombing way.

Altfire - shoots a big gravity-affected plasmaball. When it hits the ground, it starts emitting plasma, 8 balls at a time (in 8 directions at once). These balls don't fly outward though, but in spiral around the main ball/emitter. They also have limited seeking ability, so if they fly closely past a monster, they reaim at him.

This way altfire would hit a large group of enemies, if player/landing location is surrounded by enemies, and at the same time it would be able to direct all its power to a large enemy if it's alone (as all balls would still hit them once they run a circle of the spiral)


Maybe make it work only as long as player holds the button (and spends ammo), and the big ball dissipates when ammo depleted or player stops holding the button.

If Doom 4 was like Serious Sam, trust me, you'd know. Quick kill rates, fast and accurate weapons, constant side-strafing as hordes of enemies raid your position, and downright chaotic clusterfucks if you don't manage crowd control. With D4 I see RAGE instead, it's got 'speed' but it's all about the emphasis of death per enemy rather than deaths per encounter, and it's far more manageable than most Serious Sam fights.

Honestly, I was gonna have it kinda just be an adjusted version of BJ's ultimate. I was asking more for the sprite it's self, and Noah's play style.
Also, real quick idea for Noah's play style, he is pretty much forced to use Ammo 1, and doesn't get anything from Ammo 2, however, his unique could pretty much be a computer map in the shape of a Scroll, mirroring how, at least from what a lot of people say about Super 3D Noah's Ark, you have to find secrets to keep up on Ammunition.

What's the damagefactor 5.0 for?

[Anonymous No.2498727]

>>2498721
That's copy-pasted, really. It multiplies all damage by 5 and everything has below half its normal health. So in a vanilla Doom, a Zombieman has a high chance of being gibbed by the Pistol of all things - but a single Imp fireball or even a direct hit from a Zombieman will take off a gigantic chunk of your health in one blow. In a mod where high damage is everywhere, pretty much everything dies fast.

So I had forgotten that Sgt. Shivers was the one who suggested the Boulder Firing Gun, and I feel like it's only fair to ask him if he has another weapon idea, he's contributed a great deal of sprites for Combined_Arms.

His new idea is an excalibat styled weapon, pressing primary swings out and fires an exploding projectile, holding it sweeps the weapon and fires a fan-like spray of projectiles, Alt-fire is a MIGHTY melee that runs on a small cooldown, complete with Melee SMAAAASSH-ing hit.

if you're out of cells you can still swing the bat and hit normal baseballs with a random chance of firing off a revenant skull that yells as it flies

That cool with you guys? I like the other suggestions that some of you threw out, but they either won't work in a strictly weapon-based mod or might cause issues in Zandybam because I'm still a fuckin scrub when it comes to doom mods.

[Anonymous No.2498747]

>>2498730
Well Demonsteele already does that thankfully. But in my personal WAD I use for messing around with other mods, I replace Nightmare with an equivalent that uses HMP spawns, and some mods it's fun with. Others it's insanely frustrating and pretty much impossible to play because angering a mob of monsters (or getting ambushed / teleported into an ambush) basically means i'm usually dead.

There are a lot of things that are annoying but it's not always easy to always pin down things that I like overall.

Excessively mazey maps suck
Switches/keys that you fought 90 monsters to get to and then have no idea what they are for
Mandatory switches or elevators that are hard to see
Keys placed in ways that are not obvious / get covered up by some random corpse and you spend half an hour looking for a key that's right there

Opening monster closets after you get the key is nice because at least that makes sure you have the key instead of losing it in a sea of dead clutter (less important when you learn the map, of course). Though often I like those traps better when you open closets along your way back instead of right then and there.

5 things
-Being THE original randomizer mod(meaning it predates stuff like Hard Doom, AEoD, DoomRLA and Complex Doom)
-Having a big variety of weapons despite said weapons being recolored, same for the monsters
-The monsters are all unique and do their own thing, and each type (imp, baron, chaingunner,etc) have a way to say
"FUCK YOU PLAYER" in the face
-It can be played on any mapset, if something gets too slaughtery, the VapourGun can handle everything that isn't a boss

Thanks, I actually really like to ask this question whenever I'm on these threads because I think it's important that those of us who are mappers know what players like.

I know the whole "make what you want!" deal but this isn't asking for line by line, texture by texture design by committee but it's nice to at least have a general idea what players like and dislike.

For example as an aspiring mapper I know it's annoying to have *every* single bloody key be trapped, I don't want to have that in my levels.

Though I also intend to include a boss monster as the last part of the level, because I think it's really great fun to just pour everything you have been saving up into the 1 hard target as opposed to an icon of sin which is a different kind of fight that I think many players are sick of.

-No way of identify which liquid hurts you. This is even more retarded when I realize I shouldn't be jumping in those wads.
-Maze maps with tons of switches opening few doors (half switches are for doors properly, the other half is for doors leading to the rest of the switches). This shit is incredibly obnoxious when you need to cross the entire map to activate them, holy fuck
-When the map has relatively short and small corridors and keeps giving you rockets
-Random ass invulnerabilities/invisibilities in places where they will burn out before being helpful
-The map having more than two final teleporters, like it hurts my autism to save the game and reload it to check if any of them is a different map or has a different starting place

Like
-Plenty of cells, I fucking love use the plasma rifle
-Big areas with huge amounts of variated enemies
-Places you revisit more than once and every time there are more and more enemies. This is even !!!funner!!! if the last times archies are among them.
-Detailed corrupted architecture and tall stone buildings. Bonus points if there are broken and ruined walls and floors
-More than a set of textures, eg: bricks, stone, rocks, marble, few wood and metal and no just stone and rocks of the same colour
-Items as decorations: soulspheres, rad suits, weapons, even those static monsters as statues

I have plans!
I don't think another character will be among them, though, sorry. Adding a second character is already rough enough, I think the workload needed to create a third character could be better servicing other avenues.

If you really want to know my pipe dreams, it'd be cool to have some kind of mapset. As much as I despise the utterly cancerous mindset of "gameplay mods should have their own dedicated mapset", it'd still be a nice introduction of what kind of maps DemonSteele plays well with and would ease in newcomers who aren't familiar with just how differently the mod plays from normal Doom.
Likewise, another pipe dream is that it'd be awesome to have big ol' dramatic boss battles set in arenas, you versus a single enemy where you have to fend off massive attacks and cut through waves before diving in close and slashing him.

But those are pipe dreams! They're dreams. Dreams from pipes, I guess? But dreams nonetheless.
I don't know if they'll actually happen, I don't even know what I'll do after Shihong. I prefer to just kind of plow ahead and do things as I go.

i think the following is a more reasonable statement.

it is not the case that all mods must have their own mapsets. however gameplay mods are enhanced by the existence of maps made for them and balanced for their changes. the more changes a gameplay mod makes, the larger the subset of existing maps will break, or be unplayable (one way or the other) with it.

>>2499914

A little strong, probably. Sorry.
But I don't think that mods that make X amount of gameplay changes suddenly cross a boundary to where playing them on existing mappacks is detrimental to the experience. You can have just as much fun playing something like Helsturm on Memento Mori II, I don't think dedicated maps would change that.

For me having a mapset to go along with a gameplay mod is a lot like a techdemo, having things in it that can fully show off its features.

I was wondering if there was a way to reduce or remove these extra sprites through zdoom/zandro and not manually edit the mod. It is frustrating when the mod runs very smoothly at 60fps only to dip to the 10s because of a special effect.

A boss arena would be really cool and easy to do, I'd be down with it.
A replacement for Map30 would be right out, though, because of how many maps have that. Instead, what you could do is do a check using GetLevelInfo to see the mapnumber, and then use a check on BossEye/BossBrain/etc, which does a cvar check to see if Yes I Want A New Boss is enabled, and if so just changemaps to a new level.

speaking of Doom RPG, anyone know how to get it working, can't seem to figure it out, as it doesn't come in a .wad/pk3/pk7 format like most Doom mods do

[Anonymous No.2500734]

FEAR21 - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=141

a great example of early 1994 texturing, DEU defaults (STARTAN3/FLOOR4_8/CEIL5_2) with many apparently randomly chosen others. plenty of light and height variation to look interesting, with an excess of lighting specials (strobes and so on). it seems like the author wanted to use every effect he could.

gameplay is a similar mix of tunnels, large open areas, ledge runs, mazes made of head-height walls and, irritatingly, obstacle things (actors, mobjs, whatever you want to call them) which due to nodebuilder bugs can pop in and out of vision. monsters are numerous, including several barons and a gotcha-like cyber/spider encounter. you get tons of ammo and all the weapons, although actually getting hold of them while bouncing up and down a lift, can be tedious.

bug: stepping off the torch-surrounded platform in front of the red door when it is stationary makes it rise up and block the door. this doesn't happen when you step on the platform from below because it is still active as a lift. treat the red door as one-way and don't come back once you're through it. (i imagine the author never did during testing, and thus forgot he'd set the line specials)

It's not even doing Brutal Doom properly.
BD just changes some mechanics to be more over the top like in the comic and adds the kick and fatalities. It's fun if you see it as 'the doom comic in game form' not 'doom the way it was meant to be' because it has a totally different tone to the original game.
Everything still has a feeling of impact and weight because the 'rip and tear' stuff is rare due to it being a powerup.

Doom 4 on the other hand fucks it up really bad.
It removes all satisfaction from the 'rip and tear' nonsense by making always available, removing berserk packs takes away any need to explore the level to get ultraviolence.
The chainsaw is now a set of cutscene instakills, removing the feeling of the chainsaw being a really cool last resort weapon against low level enemies.
The gore also looks really weak IMO. While the cutscene stuff looks great (despite being tasteless and uninteractive) the actual gore during gameplay looks totally unsatisfying in comparison. Enemies just gib to pieces without any weight, I can't even hear any sound for it.

There's no weight to any of the ultraviolence and it just looks really boring.

Not who you're talking to, but I know what you mean.

When the big kills are easy to pull off it loses it's "wow" factor. It's basically like people taking drugs, do them rarely and it's always new and fresh, become an addict and it's closer to a routine.

Even Brutal understands this where the berserk is something you get and then its' really time to tear shit up, before that it's just regular melee. Simply put while many focus groups would say "yeah man we love the big violence!" and they may think it's true, they'll get greater feedback when it's an occasional thing that makes it pop out.

To bring it back to Doom, it's like having a rocket launcher with plenty of ammo compared to one with rare ammo, you spend the rocket wisely and appreciate the damage it does whereas if you're sitting on a few hundred rockets you lose that.

You are aware melee finishers will only be available once you've done enough damage to an enemy right? And what you gain from it is extra health drops. As long as the player can still be hurt during the animation I don't see any problem with it, since you'd risk losing more than what you'd gain

LIH.WAD - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=9266

Lost In Hell series, four maps for Boom.

MAP01

starts off as a gray concrete fortress in a forest, there is also a small teleporting monster arena, a short maze of small rooms and very thin corridors in techwall textures, and a chessboard layout that looks straight out of BOOMEDIT.WAD. this is one of the oldest wads in doom2/Ports. "hey, look at all my visplanes!" it seems to be saying.

plenty of ammunition but not a great deal of health, and a fair amount of hitscanners, and detailed but cramped architecture leaving not much room to dodge, required some caution when playing.

the exit is a switch that rises out of the floor, so can be pressed early. there are only two actual secrets, but their sectors have been split multiple times, giving a count of 12, one inaccessible. one of the two secrets is mandatory for exiting.

Not that guy. My current gripes with Doom 4 gameplay shown in the trailer :

1) Pre-animated chainsaw kills, unless we'll have an ability to use chainsaw as we did in previous iterations of the series.

2) Enemies lighting up to show that they can be executed. I REALLY hope that can be turned off.

3) No placeable health/ammo/armor on the levels themselves was shown.


I have no problems with enemy executions , as long as they are optional (and they seem to be), and we can turn glow-hinting off.

My biggest concern though is the mapping aoftware - it looks really simplistic, where mapper has only a limited ammount geometry he can work with. idTech 6 is said to use voxel analogue of BSP trees to render the static geometry

that's really nothing against the overall shittiness of what they have shown.

the violence effects are incredibly crappy (judging this as a remake of brutal doom), the setting unremarkable, the sounds and enemy design are shitty, nearly not enough enemies\ not enough intensity

also if they went the old style or brutal doom style why is the marine executing mosters with a faggy powersuit and not just muscles\muscles plus stimpacks?

so we have a game that doesn't feel like doom and it is a worse brutal doom than brutal doom, it's just doom 3 with melee attacks and slightly faster movement speed

Basically it means GL 4.0 with the ability to translate each GL 3.0 instruction to a GL 4.0 instruction.
This is a very slow process and makes the game much slower if you're using 3.0.

>>2501424
It also limited the possibilities of optimization and modding capabilities, as well as holding a lot of visual bugs.
I do regret that a 2.0-compatible context is not still creatable, but it would be extremely hard to maintain alongside the new code.

right well that makes sense, but could you explain why the translation is taking place at all? are you saying:

- gzdoom is speaking GL4.0, and an older card's drivers are (slowly) translating it back to 3.0? or,

- gzdoom is speaking GL3.0 and expecting a newer card's drivers to (slowly) translate it up to 4.0?

a quite colourful four-way symmetric* platform floating in the sky. as you press the buttons on the gantries, monsters pop up out of the floor outside them, which is rocks but could be clouds if you squint at it. there are very few monsters and all but one are in these fenced-off sections so you can just run past them if you want.

I feel that the executions make the player feel too powerful. It's as if you're not a human.
As >>2501097 says, you're now some dude with power armour. You can rip open bodies like a freshly cooked turkey and there is no feeling of humanity or fear to the character's actions.

I think that ruins the feeling of being the last remaining man fighting against the hordes of hell. You're not the predestined hero, you're just there by chance and you're alone.

This new game feels like a cash-in sequel rather than a reboot, mainly because of the character; instead of starting off as the self righteous dumbfuck who got exiled to Mars for beating up a CO you're now some super awesome badass with power armour and the one man to save the day from the very start.

I'm really confused about the direction of the game and worried by it's marketing so far.

I'm not saying that Doom was never a 'badass' game, I just think that the new game is going overboard. The 'character' is already badass, where else can he develop? A story about a super soldier regaining humanity wouldn't work in doom.
I'd like to see a character arc similar to Ash in Evil Dead 2, one where the weak and isolated hero overcomes many problems and develops into a stronger and more confident person. If they had the HUD face they'd do a much better job of showing this off, though the progression might be a bit odd.
You didn't start of with a berserk pack all the time, it was a powerup which made you stronger. Now you basically have it all the time and it just cheapens the effect.
The fatalities aren't inherently bad, if they were restricted to a berserk pack it would illustrate how much more powerful you had become and that would be okay. Also the flashing monster indicator is dumb.
However I'd honestly rather have the demons only be able to do the fatalities because I'd much rather be intimidated by their power if they overwhelm me.

Lost In Hell series, four maps for Boom.

MAP04

the final map is a research lab whose pervasive silver texture use is highly reminiscent of Icarus. there is a very pointless archvile (stuck in some kind of force field, cannot move or attack), a shooting gallery (with a dozen Keens amongst other monsters) and a lot of conveyor floors as the author tries to use more Boom features. eventually you get out of the silver back to wood and grass, and there's an exit teleporter. it does seem to be an anti-climax, the wad just stops at that point, seemingly on the way somewhere else. perhaps more was planned but the author never finished - the text file does talk about the maps meaning to be part of some total conversion which never happened because the textures guy wouldn't co-operate.

SUMMARY

overall this hasn't been too bad of a mini-episode. there's some clever texture usage that made me think the wad added new textures when it does not, and a high level of detail that remains consistent (similar structures are detailed the same way). challenge isn't particularly high and movement is a bit too cramped in some places. i doubt it's all that replayable but it's probably worth doing once.

I'm literally too retarded to get the Complex Doom wad to work. I drag and drop it into zdoom but all I get is Script error, "MAPINFO" line 5: Bad syntax. Why am I so dumb and wtf am I doing wrong?
