You need his sounds and you also need to define the sounds in SNDINFO, where you type up the filename of the sound in question, and then add a line as an identifier for scripts and Decorate.

FILENAME GANGSTA/SEE
FILENAME GANGSTA/PAIN
FILENAME GANGSTA/DEATH
FILENAME GANGSTA/ATTACK
etc, FILENAME will be whatever the sound is called in the files, and then the pointer can be literally whatever you fucking want (without spaces), but giving them plain and clear labels like that is just easier.

Also you need to keep things between markers in .wad files, or they won't exist as far as the game is concerned.

Hello everyone

I've been working on a mod for Doom based on feudal Japan. The premise is simple: You're a ronin looking for work when you stumble upon a city (based on Heiankyo, or medieval Kyoto) that's been taken by evil forces. Your goal is to clear the districts from the unholy army of fallen souls, yokais, demons, ninjas and mercenaries.

I'll be basing the visuals on Cosmology of Kyoto, have you heard of this game?

Right now I'm still planning the stages and structures. Gzdoom is a great tool but full of quirks. The game will center around a hub where the player will get the instructions to proceed and that probably what I'll be working once I finish the main gate (pic related).

[Anonymous No.4619406]

>>4619373
>>4619385
dakka solves this (and the whole "autoaim flattens the projectile spread" issue) in a rather involved way:

1. fire a single dummy projectile straight forward, with a speed of like 8
2. the dummy projectile takes its velocity and calculates its pitch from that (since projectiles spawn with pitch 0)
2a. if the projectile actually hit something the moment it spawned, it instead uses the pitch of its firer
3. once it has a pitch, it then uses some ACS to rotate its trajectory properly (instead of the "add angles and pitches together" which zdoom does normally) and spawn the projectile with the new trajectory
4. it repeats that however many times it needs to

I'm sure you could get rid of the dummy projectile step with zscript, but you'd still probably need something like it to account for autoaim without having the whole "flat spread" issue

and I imagine the same basic process works for hitscans, but since there's no FBF_AUTOAIM, I imagine you'd need zscript for the sole reason of toggling +NOAUTOAIM on and off

[Anonymous No.4619489]

>>4619461
right, and getting back to this; I reread the code, and it doesn't actually use the projectile's angle/pitch directly, but rather calculates angle/pitch from its velocity. the whole thing with it hitting something immediately is that since its velocity gets set to 0, I have to use the projectile's angle and firer's pitch, and basically guess at what its velocity would actually have been.

A_FaceMovementDirection wouldn't be useful for this, as I just spawn the real projectiles with proper velocity straight away. they almost definitely have fucked up angle and pitch, but that wouldn't be hard to solve; I just haven't needed to.

[Anonymous No.4619493]

I wish to appreciate Doom, but playing it stresses me out, while Quake makes me feel happy. It confuses me, as everyone says they are supposed to be nearly the same, even the id developers say that Quake is pretty much an unofficial Doom 3.

When I load up a Doom level, I am subjected to large levels with chaotic mazes that make it easy to get lost. The only thing that can help me is an automap. Quake removed the automap due to 3d design and had to be a lot smaller in size than Doom, both of which seem to be features that made the experience far more enjoyable. I am not going to be lost in a labyrinth for a lengthy amount of time. Plus we got detailing on all the various walls.

Each brush in Quake was designed slowly and tediously, you move slower, and can appreciate the world more by being able to look up and down in a 3d environment (I mention this because Duke 3d really sucks with mouselook, since jetpack enemies just fly above you and make it impossible for them to be seen). No mouselook in Doom means you need to rely on autoaim functioning, where you will be stuck with Imps able to get shots off you and you unable to hit back because you can only look straight ahead.

Quake didn't have a use key. This in turn meant Secrets couldn't just be "spam every wall" events, they had to have reason behind them. Ambient sounds gave clues as to the locations of enemies like Doom, but also teleporters, and we had buttons that could be hidden on the ceiling due to the advances in the engine.

In Doom, enemies make idle sounds, but they all sound the same. In Quake, each is given their own identity. In Quake, dying gives you a message of what you are killed by, giving further identity. Enemies in Quake can patrol around, they aren't just there to be shot. When I play Quake, I get immersion. When I play Doom, I get a MIDI soundtrack and some alright action, but no immersion and annoying levels as I get sick and tired of spamming every wall. What am I doing wrong?

For aesthetics I would suggest leaving it as Add and set the Alpha to 1.0. But apply a color translation to the sprite. This will make sure all of the bright colors pretty much become White by setting the alpha to 1.

What you want to do with the translation is start choosing mid-range Blues for the plasma ball and set them to lower values on the palette. That way the projectile will appear very bright but also blend easier into the surroundings too... giving it a more modern-gaming sorta look.

Removing the Add renderstyle is just fine for vintage approximation but only if you're going to set the Alpha to 1 as well, otherwise youll end up with muddy white color in the center of the projectile.

[Anonymous No.4620395]

I really like the way it turned out. What I don't like is how laborious it will be to implement the level of detail I want with the scale of the maps I'm planning. Dealing with slopes is a huge pain in the ass.

For example, there'll be the suburb area which is full of houses. Most if not all of those houses will be placed behind walls so the player will probably only see the roof. The problem is, Japanese/East Asian roofs all had sloped edges, meaning I'll have to spend hours building those one by one since I can't copypaste it.

Having to align the dummy sector with the sector to be sloped is such a waste of time. I should be able to just assign a tag in the dummy and that's it.

And I still haven't even touched creature/weapon making.

The weapons shouldn't be hard. There'll be only 4 weapons: bow and arrow, sword, holy grenade (turns ghosts into sliceable/shootable enemies) and a whip.

About creatures I guess I'll just have to clone and edit the base doom creatures. I still don't know how I'll make the "ghosts cannot be attacked unless stunned by holy grenade thing but I guess I'll leave it for when I'm closer to this part.

Tomorrow I'll make the forest where the game will begin before the other finds the gate (pic related). That's it for now, goodnight everyone.

no idea what gifty might be on but if you've read reports of the 64 BFG swapping back and forth inbetween the correct frames and the classic BFG frames, that's because he forgot the hold frames on the 64 BFG. also one of the sprites was missing. again, no idea, but here's the mended version

FDA - Operation UAC map08 - 'Classified Facility'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZEdwCBex4k

This map features the standout sequence from this mapset so far. The trap after going through the red door was outstanding, it was very moody and creepy while looking awesome. I especially liked the sound effect of the lights shutting down one by one and the reveal of the face walls.

The large fight at the end could be improved by either teleporting something like a Baron into the entrance door or having monster closets there so the player is forced to stay in the room. Although quite short this has been the most impressive map so far - at least when it comes to set pieces. If you had the red key trap in map06 'Corrupted Caverns' then that would be far and away the best map.

There's room to extend the map by adding a connecting area to the red key room.

The best way I found is to have a treeline background with 3d trees in front to simulate depth. Im not entirely satisfied with this and will probably try to do something more like Ghoul's Forest. I don't want to scatter 3D objects all the way because shit gets messy and it's hard to ace it - it either looks too artificial with a grid or plain weird gridless. Any tips?

[Anonymous No.4621154]

Long ago (I think either last year or back in 2016), I tried to link a mediafire download for a little sound wad I made. Some anon told me when he tried it out all he got was white noise from the modified sounds, but the wad works perfectly fine for me, what could have been the problem with the uploaded version? Or was he just fucking with me?

You could scale it up like 3x or such but you would have to go in with a fine tooth comb and draw line/brush over all the edges to make sure they appeared sharp. Its possible without too much headache but it would take a committment to it.

> then if you were to resize it back down, to like 2x of what its normally supposed to be, it would look pretty fucking rad

>>4621157
>>4621152
only knowledge i have pertaining to FPS forests is you need to make the tree textures mostly grayish colored because grayish-green is the actual way they look in nature (either that or a very washed out grayish brown), with only tiny slivers of brown on them

Duke Nukem 3D is great because it takes ostensibly realistic locales and transforms them into abstract levels.
If you stop and examine a lot of the realistic levels, there's a lot that makes no goddamn sense at all, but it's ok because the game puts in the effort of detailing the world and making realistic spaces here and there.
Derelict is an absolutely tremendous example of this, it's set on a large cargo ship out in the ocean, and it conveys this well, but the insides of it is a sprawling menacing dungeon, it plays excellently as a level.

It's one of the reasons I think it's such a great game. Right next to Doom, it's one of my greatest favorites. I would really love to see more of this kind of level design in Doom wads.

people are going to play what they want to play.
the only way to "save" multiplayer is to provide out a product that other or more people want to play
to cause such a huge shift in the community and bring in enough new blood would start another subcommunity like 8BDM's, in which case morons like you will still call it cancer and call for another reform
the more likely scenario is that another mod comes out, people play it, then forget about it and move on with their lives because there's far more important things than the competitive scene for a 25-year-old game
the "death" of which was more likely to the fact that an update for the biggest source port for it took three goddamn years to come out and still is a glitchy pile of nonsense

you want to save multiplayer? get your friends to play multiplayer. simple as that
play the game and play it frequently, and as long as people are playing others will join in

If there's one thing that really has pissed me off in communities lately, it's the idea that quality just naturally comes from something.
As if something is automatically good because someone made it, or that there's no way you can reach some plateau of quality, or that the community has peaked and nothing can be improved anymore.
Pisses me off.

I've busted my ass off trying to hone myself.
I started out doing shitty work with barely any idea how code works. I've banged my head against the wall trying to figure out how things function, and there's always something new I learn with every additional project.
I've dug into criticism, I've actively sought out other forums where my stuff is being criticized instead of getting sucked up to. I'm always trying to dissect my stuff looking for more problems, stuff I could have fixed and done better and stuff I should keep in mind for next time.
I'm always trying to bite off more than I can chew so that I can chew it and learn how to better chew it. Sometimes I'll choke on it and fuck up in front of everyone, but you know what? That means I'm going to improve.
Some people have been saying that it's "talent". No, it's not talent. It's a willingness to do risky shit. It's acceptance of my failures and using them as a springboard to improve and become even better. It's the willingness to hear people tell me "I don't like this" and let them explain why they don't like it.

"Talent" is just an excuse to try and keep yourself from working on something.
It's easy to not do something if you say you're not "talented" at it. And if someone else did something better than you, they were just more "talented" at it.
Because it's painful to make mistakes. It's painful to admit you have no clue what you're doing. And it's painful to do so in a way that doesn't beg people to pat you on the back and go "No it's a great job seriously you're perf a f!!!!". But exercise is painful for a reason, that pain is weakness leaving the body.

If you are who I think you are, it's because you basically throw heaps of extremely wonky, disjointed and hard to navigate visuals onto a pile and call it a day.

There's a few good ideas in there, visually, but the maps are just unpleasant to play and don't have any kind of interesting gameplay. There are no encounters which are memorable or interesting, and exploration is migraine inducing because some of the visuals, while interesting in their complexity, are too fucking annoying to deal with for any prolonged period of time.

I've only got through the first level, currently taking a break.
I "attained" it, so my opinions may be slightly different from an upstanding person, but from what I've seen, it's a decent foundation. More options would be good, and running at max settings lags me, but I realized this is a sprite based shooter and all the fancy shit isn't needed, so I went to the lowest 16:9 resolution I could (4:3 fullscreen doesn't work right, it just stretches) and it became smoother.

If you want to wait for the full thing, I understand, many people are like that, but if can't help spoiling yourself, play the first couple of levels.

FDA - Ever Shrine map03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQqzlv14BgY

The third and final map of the Ever Shrine mapset by Alter feels like the cherry on top of the wad. It plays like a reward for the player where you get to hose down swarms of monsters with the plasma gun and blow revenants to shit with the rocket launcher with no concern for ammo.

The theme of this maps is "grand". Huge structures, hordes of monsters to slaughter and plenty of space to maneuver in. The detailing is done intelligently where it's mostly vertical (i.e towers) or done via texturing. This means the map has visual fidelity while not having nooks and crannies that block your path as you try to dodge a stream of revenant rockets.

This map is a lot easier than map02 and is very satisfying to play. It gets to the core of Doom which is "killing shit = fun" and lets you do that while keeping things interesting. Unless you mess up there isn't too much worry since there is so much space to move in and copious rockets/cells. Even the cumulative end battle with the cyberdemon and 6 archviles wasn't difficult but was still very satisfying.

You definitely see Alter's style come through in this map despite it being so different to the first two. The trope of picking up lots of health and armor bonuses was tied in nicely with the slaughter style by having them circle the area so as you naturally circle strafe the 50+ monsters you're fighting you're constantly picking up items.

A great map to finish off an awesome set, be sure to download it and give it a go yourself, you'll be very happy that you did.

Virtualmidisynth (basically BASSMIDI) + SC-55 or GMWeeds, depending on the wad I'm playing. Loading a soundfont via a custom midi driver is nice if you got passable hardware (mostly ram and CPU I think), otherwise it might lag quite a bit. If you get lucky the music might sound better. Not using the default windows driver is a good idea because it doesn't support effects such as reverb.

Play well known wads and find what you enjoy about them. Make maps and keep making them. Your first few will more than likely be pretty meh but that's how you learn. Try to keep your first few maps short and do go adding new monsters/weapons/etcetc

Hey I remember this. I think there's definitely been some improvement overall but still a slight issue with the monster placement imo.

notes:
- you can get stuck in the spawn secret, given how small it is I doubt this will likely happen but I thought I'd let you know

-possibly too many shotgunners/too early for a trap? with the lack of cover and weapons I reckon most people would just run back up the stairs and clear them with the pistol - not too fun. thinking about it this trap would be great with a couple pinkies, the small space would work to pressure the player and push them towards the dangerous hitscanner room - I'd probably drop a shotgun in front of the blue door to even the score though

-I really like the column traps! caught me off guard and works even better if you left some of the hitscanners alive, maybe swap a pinkie for a shotgunner though? they aren't really much threat with just imps for support in a relatively large room.

-the blue key trap triggers too early and is too easy, the pinkies can't descend the stairs and well imps are easy to dodge, try lost souls instead?

-I remembered the secret in the monster closet from the last time I played but not sure I would've found it otherwise

-similar issue with the next pinkie trap, its fairly easy to just dance around and clear them

-pinkies in the final room are unnecessary, they pose no threat and can feel tedious to kill all 4. even in a speedrun you could ignore them and hit the switch, dash back upstairs then wait for an opening

Great play overall. I'd be more than happy with this as a map01!

>What has been the worst thing to ever happen to the Doom community?

I am going to take this question seriously. The "worst thing to happen" has to be something that actually changed the way the Doom community operated in the long term for the worse and there are very few things I can think of off the top of my head. So here are a few candidates:

* Dropping the ball on demo compatibility. After the Doom source release, source ports such as Boom didn't place much of a priority on making sure vanilla demos worked properly in Boom, and if Boom-engine demos would play back properly in Doom. This led to a period when demo making was prety ad hoc with the engine it used, and led to the complevel hell we still have to put up with today.

* id Software being bought out by Bethesda. Under the stewardship of id, the Doom community could expect a sort of beneficent ignorance from the owners of the IP regarding using it online. After it got bought out, people now have to actually worry if they are going to get a cease & desist from Bethesda if their Doom project gets too much attention; see, e.g., Sgt. Mark and Bethesda demanding changes to his Patreon, or the Emscripten port made by a Mozilla engineer that was IMMEDIATELY C&D'd by Bethesda because Mozilla had the absolute gall to include the shareware Doom IWAD on the demo page. Who knows what chilling effects we will see in the future?

* The draconian policies of the /idgames archive. This is my personal pick. Early on, the /idgames archive decided to enforce a strict policy regarding copyright, including certain specific IPs like Beavis & Butthead, as well as a rule on IWAD assets in your own PWADs - namely, that you couldn't. Obviously a ton of WADs skirted these rules in one way or another, but the idea still permeated throughout the community that using copyrighted artwork or edited IWAD assets in your project was just asking for trouble. How much work has this self-enforced goody two shoes policy hindered?

I'll relay what I've found out so far:

>Several ex-3DRealm devs who have worked on several iterations of Duke Nukem Forever came forward and talked about what the "final" version would have been like (put it short, less campy/comedic than gearbox Forever, more in line with 2D/3D tone and humorous touch, open-ended structure with features such as talking to NPCs and managing inventory)
>Emphasized majority of delays were from nearly completing the game and then deciding to redo everything in a new engine (similar to what happened to Daikatana's numerous delays), Doom 3/Half-Life 2 would've made it look graphically inferior if they didn't change engines
>They're all willing to release whatever they have on hand, various DukeForever builds as well as unseen Duke3D prototypes, for free to the public but Randy Pitchford is blocking them because it interferes with
>Pitchford wants to milk Duke3D as much as possible and only cares about how he can repack and sell it with minimal effort and minimal content each time, is currently working out a way to do a "Duke Nukem Definitive Collection" for PC and consoles

I personally haven't had any problems, it runs silky smooth. Plenty of people seem to be having issues though. I'm using a 6600k and an r9 390. The game works fine in opengl mode.

My FX 6300 and an R9 290x don't like it much. It's super choppy in large areas or when large explosions are going on, etc...

The choppyness affects the mouse movement too, so I can't aim when it gets that way. Pretty much unplayable.

Should be plenty for a game like that and I get high FPS (400-1200) and it STILL STUTTERS.
And the stuttering makes no goddamn sense because it happens in completely random areas like corridors and small rooms, while big complex areas play fine.

Something is seriously messed up with it.

I just cannot bring myself to care about anything that is not 100% purist.

I don't care how good a gzdoom map looks because I am constantly wondering why did you decide to stop at that completely arbitrary line in terms of detail; why are you not modding a game with a 3d engine instead? God knows you've already bolted on enough superfluous shit to make the game Quake instead of Doom.

I suppose I want to be convinced that there is some kind that a purist like myself would get enjoyment out of playing or just confirmation that I am not alone in feeling this way.

If I remember correctly there was someone from assembler games (rip in pieces) that found some UE2 key terms and snippets of UnrealScript so it's entirely plausible that Retro Studios used it as a basis for their Prime 1 engine.
Apparently the fags of the neo variety were trying to push it as being a hoax to drum up some Nintendo-related attention on a slow day, their only evidence being that Epic Games and the Unreal Engine names are present anywhere relating to the game.

So, I finished my wad for Joel's Doom mapping contest, but only because I rushed the last half of the map at the last minute. In fact, I even became desperate and slapped in a monster from a shitty Doom wad I downloaded a while back and used that as a boss for the level, and crappily made a room where you can fight it in without much polishing at that point. I would have actually refined this more (Hell, I wouldn't have resorted to this) in any other scenario, but considering that the deadline was less than an hour away.

Well, I was actually two days early, but I knew that I couldn't finish this wad during the next two days, so it was still pretty much a do or die moment...

To make things better, while I was rushing out this part, I remembered "Holy shit, I actually downloaded the midi version of the Cheers theme at one point, I should quickly create a script that will activate this midi when you enter the boss fight!" and I successfully set that up.

I think this monster is a shitty cut-out of the character Norm from the show Cheers, so it works, I guess. I wonder if Joel will even understand the reference.
