They're kinda necessary to keep gameplay exciting, IMO. It'd get boring after a while if literally every key, switch and weapon you find is perfectly safe with nothing happening, and the only monsters you ever find are ones that are incidental.
Of course, some mappers do overuse traps to the point of annoyance, but I'd honestly rather traps be overused than never used at all.

I tried this out. This is a super fun map, I really enjoyed it! I absolutely love the layout and all the combat situations until the end. I like how you're not stingy with ammo either. It makes dealing with the tough enemies pretty fun, rather than annoying because I always had enough rockets to deal with the viles and barons. The four arch vile room was definitely really intense and pretty much an insta-death that caused me to have to reload, although after loading and I understood what was happening, it wasn't that bad to hunt them down.

And take this with a grain of salt because I'm not exactly amazing at this game, but the end was probably too intense for me. I got the yellow key and pulled the switch to open the exit room, but all the new revenants and arch vile surrounding that tiny yellow room was a bit too much for me by this point after already slugging my way through the rest. I gave up here because I was a bit too drained to deal with it. After killing the four archies I was kind of prepared for the map to be basically over. I think I may have preferred just being able to go into that last room without interference and blast the enemies in there, although maybe a more experienced player would think otherwise.

But again, really damn fun map, playing through most of it was the most fun I had with a level in a long time. I think it's such a great layout for fun, compact combat with good amounts of ammo and cover

What makes you think it should?

[Anonymous No.6682575]

>>6682559
What do you mean? Screenshots that you take in game aren't showing up? Or it's not showing the TITLEPIC like pic related?

If you want the TITLEPIC to show like in pic related, you have two options: either take a screenshot of the TITLEPIC while in-game using the source port's screenshot key, or you extract the TITLEPIC from the .wad itself using Slade.

If you want to take a screenshot using the source port, you gotta make sure you have a hotkey set up to take screenshots. For Chocolate/Crispy Doom you gotta set it up in the setup.exe. For PrBoom+ you just change keys in the menu. For GZDoom I think the hotkey is automatically PrtScn.

If you want to extract the TITLEPIC from Slade, open the wad in slade, find the TITLEPIC and doubleclick it, find the Convert To icon and press it, and convert it to PNG(Paletted), and in the dropdown menus below, select Doom in both of them, then exit the PNG and select save, then rightlick the TITLEPIC, select Export As PNG. DO NOT SAVE THE WAD since the only port that can read .PNGs is GZDoom

[Anonymous No.6682579]

>>6682575
You only need to change the drop-down menu in pic related if the .wad does not come with its own palette.

The .wad in pic related has its own palette inside the wad, so I do NOT need to fuck with the circled drop down menus

the fact that it's presented as being inspired by the quake launcher that's hosted on quaddicted, which does pull metadata and screenshots when you browse maps. I just realised, if it's pulling the wad metadata from /idgames, of course it won't pull titlepics and generic screenshots, because they don't host them.

Oh you don't have to manually plug in the screenshots if you launch the port from DL and take the screenshots - but you probably figured that out by now

Thinking about it, currently. Thing is, none of the weapons I have planned look like good anti-tank weapons. I am pondering an idea of heavy weapons (can only carry one at the time, can't use certain mechanics I have planned, cannot pick up ammo for them).

You cannot do the rotating walls/doors in vanilla Doom, but modern source ports allow this. Problem is, even today the implementation of polyobjects is worse compared to original Build- polyobjects are only textured on sides, top is completely transparent, there isn't even a flat color like in Dark Forces - you cannot replicate, say, those giant sewer gears from Duke 3D, unless you use GZDoom and combine an invisible polyobject with 3D model. I wonder whether it is possible to make an Akira elevator in Build.

I've hit my limit, boys. I'm at the end of the rope, and my heart can't keep going on like this. I'm tired of the tears, the disappointment, the little bits of time that slip through my fingers even as I watch.

Is there a way to make GZDoom NOT auto-load saves from the current map upon death? I usually try to pistol start each map, but this means having to manually delete any saves from the map, and then find monsters to kill me. Since I like having the saves on hand in case the game crashes or the like, I don't want to just stop having them.

Is the best option to just remember where I am and cheat my way to the level start every time I load my WAD? Is there a console command to restart the current map with only the basic pistol? Is there a pistol-start or a disable-autoload-upon-death config option? All of my searching has been to no avail, and I know I am not the only person needing this capacity, so I must be totally oblivious to something here.

I like the autosaves though, because it lets me play continuously from map to map without having to manually make saves to fall back to in the event of a crash. It's the automatic loading of the saves that I can't stand.

>>6683182
I could do this, but I have to figure out which map I am on each time.

>>6683184
I didn't know about "map *", that works perfectly for restarting the map.

For anyone with a similar problem; I tried following binding:
bind p "save start; map *; save pistolstart"
The goal was to have it save what I was starting the map with, and then restart it and save a pistol-start option as well. This would also be useful if the bound key was accidentally pressed midway through the level, because I could load back to where I was when the button was pressed. Unfortunately, the commands don't run sequentially, so the second save doesn't take place because the first save is still being written when the command is called.

For whatever reason, the following command doesn't restart the map, it just saves where I am at:
bind p "map *; save pistolstart"

The best solution off these suggestions has been:
bind p "map *; Quicksave"
This one restarts, but I have to manually select the save slot. That's acceptable, but I still have to do some amount of work and I am running the risk of the key being accidentally pressed somehow mid-level.

it tells you what map (and what number it is) in the console when you load into the map. for example, if you want to pistolstart on map 15 you'd enter
idclev 15

>For whatever reason, the following command doesn't restart the map

[Anonymous No.6683361]

Alright, I was struggling with a formula that works, and juggling a bunch of voodoo sequences in my head (including if I should be using hidden Commander Keens or not, opted not to), but I've got an idea that works, I'll put it together and have a draft ready.

Apologies for taking way too much time on this shit.

[Anonymous No.6683378]

>>6683358
I didn't see that "wait" command listed anywhere. Works PERFECTLY.

My final bind:
bind p "save start; wait; map *; wait; save pistolstart"
This saves the progress, restarts to a pistol start, and then saves that one. Since it's the later save, GZDoom will auto-load the pistol start by default if I die during the level. This is exactly what I was looking for, and the only drawback now is that I have to remember to hit the P key at the level start - very doable.

Thanks for all the advice everyone, but I think this is the best solution possible, and it's totally flexible and error-proof. I hope this ends up being useful to some others here.

[Anonymous No.6683829]

>>6683792
depends, what game, what port, what vsync
sometimes framerate is just inconsistent even if above 60

Q1 runs at 72fps so it isn't going to align with 60. "host_maxfps 60" would fix it, but would change physics somewhat. so instead you'd run it in QSS or vkQuake at "host_maxfps 360" for a bulletproof solution.

Alright, FUCKING FINALLY I have the first pitch of the Map 30 submission ready, late, like an asshole. "Tyrant's Starless Realms" By me, Chopblock.

The encounters are perhaps not the most inspired or exciting in all places, so I'd love some input into that, on how to make them better. I'd also like to know what people think about said finale, if I should add anything to make it a better challenge, or if it's too hard.

I've tested it in PrBoom+ and GzDoom, known bugs are one slime trail (probably a few more but I've only caught the one), that's my fault for getting carried away with detailing. Also once a monster spawned stuck into a wall for some reason, far away from his target, not sure what would cause that.

Includes just a few new graphical assets, really just to make the Baphomet a bit more spicy looking. Also includes all of GothicTX.wad, because I'm a mongoloid who didn't understand how to add the patches/textures without it causing problems for PrBoom+.

>>6684134
Haven't finished it yet but holy fuck that's a nice looking map and well fitting for a finale. Feels tight but that's understandable given the size limit, I'd consider removing some decoration in the areas where you can walk (especially in the center of the level where the Cyberdemon appears). I'd also suggest to make that passage a bit wider if possible, since you get stuck often on the impassable lines when walking there, which is a bit annoying.

[Anonymous No.6684186]

Hmm, I figured I widened the path there (used to be some little pillars in the put which I got stuck on, so I picked them out). I guess I could make it wider still.

[Anonymous No.6684243]

>>6684186
I meant the skull candle piles, the pillars are fine I think. Beautiful idea with the boss fight, I've noticed this meat tower thing (pic related) is climbable, which makes for some awkward movement if you accidentally run there while fighting, and I even somehow got an Arachnotron corpse up there, I'd suggest making it not climbable. You get a Megasphere and a Soulsphere pretty much at the same time before the boss fight, I'd suggest placing the Soulsphere somewhere in the boss fight area instead, since you probably won't be taking the Soulsphere right after taking a Megasphere.

For Doom:
>varied cast of enemies which serve different roles, they look cool, like they're off a heavy metal album cover, and they also look very distinct from each other, you're very unlikely to mistake any one monster for another due to their silhouettes, color, and movement
>level design is open ended, mostly not very linear, it's abstract and weird in places, though makes some effort for some pseudo realism in a few locations (and does a pretty good job at it).
>has nice sound design and music
>made by a small team of unique misfits, each with their own background and quirks, coming together in a perfect storm to make a couple of top notch games which ooze of their collective personalities

incredible fast movement speed, infighting, health packs, the perfect enemy roster, the ability to dodge most projectiles. Doom is timeless and the young if they give it a chance are constantly playing it and unlike most games, most people who play Doom eventually end up making content for it, what other game can boast that?
its fun finding secrets and sometimes it can be action packed and other time survival and horror based all with the same enemies and guns.

doom wasn't perfect but you can fix its issues, both technical and from design, while still maintaining core elements and add new enemies, weapons and mechanics without staying too far from the core gameplay
it was, after all, an upgrade to wolfenstein 3d, from the engine to the game design
new doom on the other hand is like a house of cards in regards to its design
you think the rpg skill trees or lazy armor system suck but the game could be made worse by changing it
it's a game meant to be its own direction, not an "upgrade" or even "downgrade" of doom
it's technically a spin-off, which could also apply to doom 3
a true modern follow up to doom would exist in the form of a big, even if bloated fan mod or something made in a smaller scale than that of an aaa game
the minute enemies have to spawn in a room instead of being preplaced is why you can't replicate classic doom in a modern aaa game
this makes doom mods/wads special in a sense they feel like sequels and spin offs from an alternate timeline, where id kept milking doom, for better or worse
some fanmade content even tries to respect the classic art style and not just because it's pixel art

While it probably isn't the best wad ever anymore, people still give Alien Vendetta recognition because of the scope behind it, especially for the time it came out. It was one of the first megawads to include maps that pushed the vanilla engine to its limits (Misri Halek barely fits within the blockmap limit IIRC). It actually had a story, complete with a dehacked patch to replace automap names and intermission texts, which was next to unheard of for vanilla megawads back in 2001. And it overall had a pretty impressive lineup of mappers that contributed consistently high quality maps throughout.

In that room which opens there's a skull screen or something like that which you can shoot, although it seemed to only accurately trigger when I shot it with the SSG for some reason. You'll have to go back to the same eye switch and repeat this 4-5 times.

[Anonymous No.6685846]

>>6685826
How are you supposed to know that? obviously I tried shooting the switch but there's no indication that it's the right thing to do. Granted, I didn't shoot it with the ssg but the plasma gun but still. I even ran back and forth doing this a few times but there was no indication it was doing anything. So I went back to trying to press the switch. I started trying to blast at the icon while riding the rising platforms. I tried pressing the switch, running into the room, and then looking around the rest of the map looking for something to open up. Also if only the SSG works that's really gay. I even tried opening up this level in the editor but couldn't decipher the voodoo script. I saw in there there's supposed to be a sword texture in that room (maybe to hint that you shoot?) but I don't think it shows up ingame.

Well now I feel dumb for not knowing about the hitscan quirk.
If you shoot the switch properly, does the icon of sin make a hurt noise SFX? If he does, then it's fine, I would have understood what to do. You can skip the rest of my comment.
If he doesn't, there needs to be some kind of noise indicator telling the player Shoot Switch = Good.
Maybe a nearby unreachable archvile is killed each time emitting a recognizable death noise.
Or you could even get crazy and make a visual indicator with five barrels lined up spaced out right below the icon. Block them with linedefs so the player can't blow them up. Each time the switch is shot, a barrel blows up as a side effect, indicating the boss's "HP"

[Anonymous No.6685953]

>>6685937

Pressing the first switch guarded by the cyberdemon opens the door to the chamber, and it opens a door in front of a voodoo doll on a conveyor to put him in front of a lift, and the shootable switch lowers the lift, letting him pass a set of linedefs actions which crushes a barrel near Romero's head, the door and blast shield for the second switch are then reset and the voodoo doll slides up in front of the next function gate. There's four stops in total, and four barrels in total, the fourth barrel kills Romero's head.

It's a very Rube Goldberg kind of scripting, as all Voodoo scripting is, but I feel my setup is especially janky. It's probably not bombproof, and I'd appreciate if anyone could devise ways to try to break it or point out improvements in terms of timing and what not. It could probably be tightened, is what I mean.

This isn't the most amazing final fight or anything, but I think it's more interesting than Go On The Pillar And Time Your Shot. I think I'll add some extra nasties gating in with each time you give the Baphomet a smack, along with maybe extra ammo.

There wasn't a cyberdemon there. There was only one cyberdemon I encountered and that's the one that spawns in the middle lobby with the two hell knights. He shows up after you get the rocket launcher, right? Then you take the elevator to the spooky place above. And then you drop down to the megasphere to get TP to the area in front of the icon with the switch and the chamber. But there's no cyberdemon there. This was the case on PrBoom+ and GZDOOM

Didn't you say a while back it's basically just you and your friend working on this? Cus if so, that's really cool, working on a mod with a bro of yours n such. Also is this gonna be a "true" survival horror mod? Cus I'm getting more of an action paced vibe from it where the horror aspect comes moreso from the sound/visual design, like what Doom 64 was: regular fast paced Doom gameplay with creepy vibes from the music and visuals. Whereas a survival horror game is usually slower and doesn't give you a lot of ammo. Not to shit on your project ofc, I'm just wondering where exactly it's going cus I've felt like it was more action oriented ever since your first webms of the mod you posted a while back.

We're up to 5 or 6 people now, a few different spriters, writers for the upcoming PDA logs, one coder at the moment.

There are a lot of different difficulties, the one usually shown is Lone marine, which is kind of a balance between action and survival horror.

One of the higerh difficulties is more survival horror since it's slower paced with tougher monsters and much more rare ammo/medical supplies. You can't account for every mapset, of course, so it can still be easy to hoard ammo sometimes, but on Kill or Be Killed or We Unhappy Few difficulties as a survivalist you'll be going through with only a handful of shells, a mag or two of ammo, etc and have to pick your shots.

[Anonymous No.6686998]

I thought about looking into a script myself, but I sort of like how easily controllable the hotkey approach is. When I'm playing a WAD where I want to keep equipment from map to map I just ignore it, and if I hit a map that is too frustrating for pistol-start somehow, I can load the regular start save instead.

The other thing with a death/respawn script in particular is that I would still have to kill myself or restart the level anyway in order to get a pistol start setup (if I'm thinking about it correctly).

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

It's ghetto and I'm sure you can refine it but that makes you teleport into the same map you just died in (albeit instantly upon death without your input) causing you to pistol start. Only thing you'd have to do is skip intermission screen. Only real downfall is potentially not knowing what killed you and the subsequent autosave that occurs with your pistol start. But the key bind is way more convenient.

Alternatively you can create an item in decorate that when used runs a script that clears your inventory except for the pistol and the 50 rounds you have. Thus if you respawn all you do is hit the enter key on the item and since doom by default doesn't have any inventory items, it will never get in the way.

Alright, revision of Tyrant's Starless Realm

It's maybe slightly harder in some ways, slightly easier in others. I haven't really balanced for lower skill levels yet, would appreciate some ideas for that. I tried to make the """script""" for the shooty switch more foolproof to make it more reliable, as I noticed it would seem to open by itself sometimes. The result seems somehow more janky, because sometimes the blast shield pops open anyway and you can shoot the switch, and nothing happens, and sometimes it does do damage, but I find that if you just stick with it, the sequence carries on, and you can kill the boss.
Anyone with experience with voodoo scripting is welcome to give input.

I've counted about 3 or 4 slimetrails in the level, tiny ones, but they do exist. Tested in PrBoom+ and GzDoom. Also, once again, if you use any kind of flashlight mod, I recommend *strongly* against using it in this level, framerate is perfectly fine in OpenGL mode, and perfectly fine in software (PrBoom+'s software), but if you turn on something like beamflashlight, framerate instantly goes down into single digits. Obviously, any kind of mod which makes levels dark and gives enemies flashlights are a no-go.

I should probably restrain my detailing in the future, or detail smarter.

Alright, how about one of these tracks for the Titlescreen?

https://files.catbox.moe/g69vl2.mid
This track is from Perdition's Gate, so by Tom Mustaine (no, not that Tom Mustaine, the Team TNT one). It's a functional choice

https://files.catbox.moe/4g9x7z.mid
We could go REALLY oldschool with Boss Blow (by Lee Jackson), from Rise Of The Triad, the game itself is old, and and one or two old megawads (Hell Revealed, etc) used this track for their title screens.

https://files.catbox.moe/71ibrt.mid
He's Back! from Duke Nukem 2, composed by Bobby Prince, and this is a later rearrangement he made. Might suit a map 01 better than a title screen, but I'll put up as a suggestion.

https://files.catbox.moe/ie4k7f.MIDI
The installer track for Blood, by either Daniel Bernstain or Guy Whitmore. Pretty high tempo I suppose, and maybe better suited for something like the tally screen after a level.

https://files.catbox.moe/6inzb9.mid
Title theme to Crucified Dreams, by Vincent Fong.

>>6689129
It's a bug, because whatever I did with the Voodoo script to try to make it work a bit tighter and more reliably seemed to have done mostly the opposite. It works if you just keep going at it, though I know that's not really a good answer.
Perhaps I should do a layer of switches instead?

The meat elevator after the first cyberdemon encounter shouldn't be unpegged, it makes it hard to tell if it's a lift if the texture doesn't scroll down when activated. Other than that I didn't encounter any bugs and the icon gimmick wasn't too obtuse. A bit more cell ammo at the end would make it more forgiving to figure out the boss without quicksaves. Very fun and pretty level overall, the scrolling face maze made me kind of nauseous but I suppose hell shouldn't be a comfortable place to stay in for too long. Good job.

this game sucks all the balls
In 3 years they have made 7 half assed levels that feel like they were slapped together in Unity in a matter of week (the game is in Unreal Engine 4 though. In all of its default blurred glory).
You finishe the 7 level, beat a boss, and think its a first episode out of 3 or 4, but nope, that's it.

The game has 2 enemy types - a "Grug" caveman with a weapon (same as what player uses), and a skinned flayed cow. There are 5 weapons in the game, so 5 flavours of caveman (with differing amount of armor, still same model tho), and 2 flavours of cow - one gray flings fireballs a-la imp, another leaps like a fiend. One boss on top of that, that is pretty much a lame demonic gorilla.

That's it. That's all the content that was made in 3 years.

Also MC tries to do one liners, but in all of them that aren't borowed from Sam or Duke, involve him calling his enemies Motherfuckers.
Motherfuckers this, motherfuckers that, motherfuckers for breakfast. Every damn time.

The graphics are some XBawks 360 blurry shit with pop in too - like burning tiles in picrelated flame just disappears if you take some steps back.

Questionable progression logic. Why is torch a switch? Can't it be a normal switch (Or no switch at all, considering it's right next to the bridge)?
Two swtiches are not necessary bad, but 2 in a row give impression that they would do the same thing. I only flipped one at first, then fell in a trench and got stuck. Really seems like it should be possible to hang both sectors on the same action.
The hanging fellow on the picture blocks my passage with his infinitely tall ass even though he seems to not be long enough for this. Perhaps replacing him with non-blocking decoration, or alternatively slightly longer decoration would be appropriate?
I need to make a jump to the exit which seems odd to me. Did you forget to tag one step to raise properly?

Oh god oh fuck, I've just found out that for some reason the fake teleporter in Ghost Grotto just doesn't lower the part with the real teleporter when using complevel 9 (Boom), but it works just fine with complevel 11 (MBF). It seems the generalized linedefs to lower the floor just don't activate on complevel 9 for some reason. Anyone knows what might be causing this? I'll probably just replace this with a standard lower floor action. I'm also going to make a small update for Black Crest.

Quick fixes to Ghost Grotto and Black Crest. I still have no idea why exactly Ghost Grotto was completely bugged on complevel 9, and I blame myself testing it on complevel 11 for not having noticed it earlier, I didn't think it would even make a difference. For some reason Doom really didn't like the way I placed the triggering linedefs in the voodoo scripts, since moving them just a bit fixed them. I thought it might be because of those linedefs being so close to eachother, but this didn't cause any issues in Black Crest so I have no idea anymore. Fixed a sneaky hom near one of the banners in Black Crest, and I switched the keycards for skulls for consistency.

I don't think it's fair to compare the two. Sunlust is meant to be a finely tuned combat puzzle wad. Where as Ancient Aliens aims to more be a general run n gun fun challenge. And before you point it out, yes the first episode does have a few puzzle elements, but they are nothing more than just the "don't kill this monster until later" sorta thing, and the overall concept gets dropped early on.

>>6687908

I played it fairly recently, and outside of a few of maps (most of which weren't even Skillsaw's), Ancient Aliens hardly places "shitloads of monsters everywhere". Really don't understand this criticism at all.

>>6687981
Yeah. Joshy's maps felt more like Resurgence leftovers. Pinchy's map also felt really out of place for the wad. Stewboy's secret map is pretty different too with its gameplay, though I do think it works for the slot it's in.

Alright so I want to build a monster spawner in the form of switches in my current map for the first time in one or two years since I last did something for Doom, so I basically forgot all about ACS. I have two problems and would appreciate any help:

A) Currently my script looks something like this:

if (spawner == 2)
{
SpawnSpot("ShotgunGuy",24);
Terminate;
}
if (spawner == 1)
{
SpawnSpot("ZombieMan",24);
Terminate;
}

Of course for all those monsters I'd have a long and ugly if-list. I wanted to make an array that contains the monster classes as strings, but what ACS command can I use to call them? SpawnSpot want a string, so I can't give the array index (note: I know zip about programming).

B) I also noticed that if I make a switch for each monster, my map will look like a cemetary, so I wanted to make just one switch that is basically some kind of spawn control console where I can choose the monster and the number of monsters to spawn, but is it even possible to make such a dialogue in UDMF?

https://gofile.io/d/pMQyPN
These demos are intended to be the demos that automatically play when you load the WAD. I am aware that the WAD is still in beta and maps are subject to change. I'm prepared to create a new set later on.

Demos 1-3 are the ones I think would look the best. I modeled them after the original Doom demos in that you survive for a short period and then die, but I didn't intentionally die, I just chose some of the hardest levels. I even tried to mimic the amount of time spent dead on the ground before ending the demo.
Demos 4 and 5 are extra demos just in case you didn't like my pick. Be warned that demo4 is probably way too long but whatever.

I use Aseprite for all of my shit, and what I do is I make a new layer, take my pen down to like 35 opacity, then I draw over the sprite with transparent white and black ink. Sometimes other colors but it's mostly white and black for shading and lighting.
To help make sure I paint where I want to, I often select the chunk of the flats so I have a specific selection area that can only be painted in.

The cool thing is hiding the flats layer shows me all of my shading and it usually means I have cool glass weapons

It's neat. I think that the stamina system and the fact that you have to hit R for every single bullet to reload the magnum is dumb. The levels in the first episode at least are very basic and after coming off the high that is Bastion of Chaos it is certainly underwhelming. I won't really judge the guy's guro fetish as at least the art is better than that one futa GZDoom game. However the lack of animations for a lot of things is just lazy IMO.

Are you straferunning? Just turn 45 degrees to the right, hold down W and A and you're there. Getting back to the middle is harder as you need to stop at the right time.

I could edit it so the platform with the goggles stays down for longer after you press the switch (so it's not as tedious to reset it) but I want to keep the platforming challenge.

[Anonymous No.6691050]

>>6691041
I would say just add a yellow switch near the platform that lowers it, so you can go back after killing everything and not have to make multiple trips back and forth for every single attempt.
Doom movement is just so slippery that it's easy to fall off of any of the platforms, and it's difficult to judge how close you are to falling off the edge. I tried both SR40 and SR50 to no avail. The farthest I can get is the one with the orange light. It just seems overly punishing just to play every level in the game. I had an easier time fighting the Cyberdemons with 6 health.

Yeah, that's a good idea, but I'll still allow people to platform their way there early as well. And even with that you'll still have to platform your way to the middle for the secret exit, so the challenge will still be there.

Yeah the level design gets better/more ambitious after the midpoint of E2 so I get the feeling the dev was learning as they went, the start of E4 (IIRC) had a level where you're tearing through a city with the mech.

The magnum gets a upgrade later on to double the magazine and reload and get a burst-fire mode but I've mainly used it as a grenade launcher or on the red robes. I find the health system more annoying than the stamina since it feels like you loose red and green at the same rates, and rations restore both.

>Barge In
Looks very nice visually but gameplay is odd. I hate being able to walk all over the furniture, it's infuriating to have your POV snap up and down constantly. Kitchen encounter is doable with the berserk but it's annoying and kind of luck-based it seems.
>Shipwrecked Cavern
This anon is either MIA or just an asshole that thinks his first draft was perfect and refuses to change it. These criticisms have all been brought up before by several anons but here they are again. Body in hallway is annoying. You can softlock by just pressing the one switch. Chaingun is in an annoying spot if you don't grab it before pressing the switches and usually results in you getting blocked in by infinitely tall actors. There should be at least one less hell knight in the cavern. The torches as switches is questionable. The final fight is underwhelming, there's few monsters and they are basically forced to infight each other.
Can we say fuck this guy and have someone else edit his map for him?
>Gatehouse
The trap by the SSG needs to have walls that open up real fast. The slow moving walls are antithetical to the nature of a trap and are boring anyways. Otherwise okay-ish level. Easier than the previous two though. Maybe Barge In should still be first though because it's easy and showcases quality design.
>Roundabout Cliffside
Pretty dull level both design-wise and gameplay-wise. It's just a box with some enemies thrown in without much thought as to their placement it seems. Is there a level we could replace this with? Maybe isolate Vehement Onslaught (one of the extra maps) down to just its arena so it fits in a 2048 space and is a more interesting addition to the WAD than this. We want people to play the WAD I'm guessing, and having too many mediocre/bad levels in the beginning is gonna abort many potential players.

Update again, probably final for these maps, because if I keep saying it, that means it'll eventually become true. Unless anyone else can think of something that needs critical improvements. The bars at the start of Forsaken Stockades now slam shut a few steps after you leave the stairs, again though, you could already open the bars like a regular door from the inside. I also added a bit more detail to Bleak Cinders, because I can't stop myself.

I'll restructure the switch setup in Tyrant's Starless Realm to work on multiple switches, rather than a single one with a single repeated door function, I'm sure that I can make it work more reliably that way. Also, I don't really care for the idea of cutting down Vehement Onslaught to the arena to replace a map, I'd rather address the flawed map in question to see if I can improve it, if the author is absent.

For the text crawl, remove the part that says "which explains the architecture."
First fantastic level of the WAD though, no complaints. Appreciate you putting those baddies in the elevator windows, it really makes all the difference.
>Suspiral
This level has the potential to be great but is currently held back by unforgivable problems. Pain elemental spawns too high. The majority of the time I'm fighting him, he's not even on my screen. He fucks me up everytime and it's unfair because if I back up to see him, then I'm in the view of the revenants/arachnotron. If I move forward, then I'm close quarters with two mancubus.
The hell knight placement by the rocket launcher is ass. I can't get to the ammo he's guarding because there's revenants firing at me. If I run back across and deal with the revenants, there's no ammo left to deal with the hell knight. Which leads me to my next point:
There's enough health if you get the secret soulsphere, but there is NOWHERE near enough fucking ammo in this map. Even with saving the initial arachnotrons and imps for later, I ran into the pain elemental/mancubus area and ran out of ammo. So I had to run over to the revenant section, grab the rocket launcher, and then come back to this section. Even then, ran out of ammo. This map is a series of sections where I die and say to myself: "Oh, I'll have to come back here later and kill these guys off when I have more ammo." But then I never get any more ammo!!! Here's a list of enemies that I had to leave alive because I ran out of ammo and just had to go to the exit: One arachnotron, two revenants, a hell knight, and every imp on top of the castle. That's with berserking where I could.

>Retirement Grease
Good level. Platforming section wasn't as bad without the bad guys down below blocking you like you had in the first version. The teleport back up is nice but I fell often enough I found myself using idclip to get back up instead.
Finale is great but really hard. Actually the only reason I was able to beat it was because on one playthrough, the teleporter kinda janked up and instead of two mancubus coming through, one mancubus and a pinkie came through so I was able to deal with them easier.
Not an author issue but something I thought about was how odd the lighting seems now with the new sky. You have an outdoor area with a nightsky lit like it's daytime and then an indoor area that's dark as fuck. Not even suggesting it has to be changed, but it makes me wonder how these next maps will look with the night sky.
>Ghost Grotto
Great level. The placement for the yellow key is so bad though. At least place a window or something so the player knows that it's here, otherwise you're forced to run around wondering what you're supposed to do and it's quite easy to miss.

I got frustrated with this one before and gave up on it at the lava part with the broken lift. But I finished it this time and this level is pretty based. I love the coliseum with the shifting pillars, that was a great idea. I personally didn't have a problem with the gameplay of the crushers, I thought it was a pretty neat section actually, but having to hear that noise was a little grueling. Great, great level, one of my favorites in the WAD now. Oh, but that elevator is way too long, is there any way you can just lower the top floor and all the chaingunner windows so it could last like half the amount of time? Or like be shorter in any capacity?
>Trifecta
Another that I had abandoned before due to broken mechanics. Pretty good level. Surprising it fits in a 2048x2048. Very easy though, belongs earlier in the WAD. Too much ammo. But as a creative partner, let me chastise you for the laziness of having two key rooms where you funnel skeletons in through the door.
>Straight Walled Rooms
SOFTLOCK WARNING. Very first door you can't reopen once it closes, meaning you're fucked if it closed and bumped you outside it. I assume this is the case with at least a couple of the other trap doors. Texture misalignment on flesh in outdoor area.

/DOOM/ If you want to play your favorite retro FPS games in DOS then download this pack >>6685207

Here is an example playthrough of Duke 3D episode one performed in DOSBox; this is the greatest Duke Nukem video on youtube and what got me interested in DOS gaming in the first place:
https://youtu.be/4rSGPiNqbg0
He plays with autoaim and no vertical mouse look, just like I remember playing it

I admit that Chocolate and Crispy Doom are superior options to the DOSPack for Doom, as they don't stretch the screen horizontally. Same with Mark V's WinQuake executable for Quake. These ports can give you software rendering with the 320x200 or 640x400 look without stretching and also come with widescreen rendering (except for Chocolate Doom) so you can get the pixelated resolution and fill out your widescreen monitor.

However, when it comes to Duke 3D, none of the ports are able to replicate the DOS experience. BuildGDX can open in 640x400 with software rendering but the MIDI player options are limited to port MIDI or Gervill; no OPL emulation nor Soundblaster. And EDuke32/Rednukem have OPL3 emulation (similar to SoundBlaster) but don't even have 640x400 resolution

The One Unit Whole Blood download in the OP is virtually the same as the build in the DOSPack except OUWB will also play the videos that come with the game, and the DOSPack has the sweet DOS MIDI sound. You need to change the configuration files for OUWB to remove the CD audio and play the original MIDIs. Open "dosboxblood_single.conf" and add the "-nocd" parameter to the end of "blood.exe." It will look like this:
"blood.exe -nocd"
Then open "BLOOD.CFG," find "MusicDevice = 7," and change that number to 0. Use 7 if you want to use your port MIDI like VMS, or 0 if you want the original DOS Soundblaster sound.
Just an FYI: for whatever reason, OUWB plays normally in 800x600 and if you try to open it in 640x400, the video gets messed up, whereas Blood opened up in the DOSPack will play in 640x400 no problem.

eh? dosbox has aspect correction, and it's optional. how is that inferior to anything else? dosquake doesn't even need it since there's 4:3 support already.

>Tiny Fragment
Looks great with the nightsky. Dude, the section with the hell knights is unbearable. I'm not sure if I miscounted last time when I said there were fourteen or if you actually edited your map to add one more here but there's fifteen of them. There's not enough room and not enough rockets. It's too fucking many. Remove like five of them. Skipped the map after dying to this bullshit several times.
>For They Defiled Our Waters
There's still Hitler textures lining the outside of the map, not sure if that's something doomworld would be trannies about
>Good Boy's Club
This level was designed and tested with freeaim in mind, wasn't it? I found this level really frustrating but I'm willing to accept that I just got filtered. Something that absolutely needs to change is that the pillar with the two hell knights, shotgunner, and chaingunner needs to have monster-blocking lines. I kept having the chaingunner fall off into the poison where he would shoot me and I couldn't see him at all. So I would have to drop into the poison to fight him and pick up his gun.
For a level that's going to require the player to run around and play an arena battle but on tiny platforming sections surrounded by -10% poison, you need to be more forgiving with health.
After you telefrag the cyberdemon on top of the pillar, you're blocked by infinitely tall actors and at their mercy for when a spot opens up somewhere meaning you can't be sure which ones will be where. Dropping down there is just a roll of the dice as to whether you will survive or not.
The final fight is underwhelming because you actually give the player enough space to run around in. You could throw some more enemies in here.
I think this level has some great ideas but I'm not satisfied with the execution personally, I found it pretty un-fun to play.

>Arrogance and Contempt
It's clear what the change is to this version. Two-hundred more monsters were just poured into it willy-willy, with absolutely no thought put into their placement. None of the enemies are set to ambush so every enemy in this very linear map just starts herding towards you in a neverending stream, depleting your ammo, while also standing in the way of any ammo you might want to pick up.They even open doors. You seriously can't even make it through the second room, they just swarm in, block the way, and then you're out of ammo.
This was a decent map before but now it's actually legitimate garbage. I'm half-tempted to believe some newb anon opened up the builder, placed these enemy positions, submitted it as an edit, and it was picked up by mistake. There's no good reason this map should be this way. It's obvious this version wasn't playtested by anyone, including the author.

Jesus fuck, why? A torch as a switch is something you would do for a secret, and probably inletting it into a wall or something, not just from a random angle.

I think for that exit switch, he must have miscalculated the amount the action lowers the sector. Perhaps he did not playtest the map at all? That switch which lowers those sectors in the water also seem... pointless? Like, what's the purpose, why do they just lower? So you can fall down and get stuck?

I have a Cacodemon in my map that executes a script when it dies.
The script is tied to the existence of a Cyberdemon in the vicinity.
I made a switch block with case 1 - script execute and case 0 - print a message. The idea is that when the Caco dies before the Cyberdemon is dead something happens and if it dies after the Cyberdemon, only a message is shown.

For some reason now, case 0 doesn't work and I have no idea why. I did everything according to the wiki's example and the case 1 script execution works.

I am also wondering why the script is not executed when the Caco is killed by the Cyberdemon - does it have something to do with both being monsters? I mean, it's good because I don't want the script to execute when anyone but the player kills the Caco, just wondering.

It'll be mentioned in the sidebar like 300 mins at best.

[Anonymous No.6692938]

Honestly, I personally feel like just cutting Shipwreck Cavern entirely, it's really not a very fun map, and it makes me wonder just how many other maps in the project are just not any good either.

We have enough for filling 32 maps, but do we have enough for filling with 32 maps which are actually *worth* playing? If I'm playing a .wad and the first bunch of maps are of this caliber, I don't feel myself particularly engaged to continue playing, and I'm guessing I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Wait was it really? I just checked and didn't see any mention.

[Anonymous No.6692950]

I'd rather spend a few hours revising the Dark Below (and I could do that), to make it fit within 2048, and then just sliding it in before Bleak Cinders and putting Shipwreck Cavern in the extra .wad

>>6692943
We did actually get a bit of praise for it, I think it was Tarnsman who said it was 'actually really good' or something along those lines.

Can you place a wall where the invisible walls behind the building are? Or open that area up if there's room in the 2048 space?

[Anonymous No.6692970]

>>6692938
Cut that and roundabout cliffside i say

[Anonymous No.6692976]

>>6692959
You mean the windows with like, the blinds or curtain, or whatever it is supposed to be? Yeah, I boarded those up because that was fucking annoying, as you're liable to immediately get poked by shotgunners you can't see.

>>6692970
Are there any more maps which are just REALLY weak and make for a weak opener?

[Anonymous No.6692978]

>>6692938
I didn't find it very offensive, but I did have to check the thread to figure out how to progress. But I also had some incentive to continue just to see my name up in lights on the later maps.

I dunno, I kinda liked Shipwreck Cavern, I feel like it can be salvaged.

Beside a few obstructions, I had fun playing it.

I mean Gatehouse and Sewers are pretty bland but I don't know that I would vote to cut them

[Anonymous No.6692998]

>>6692976
No I think he means the giant invisible walls that surround the entire map. Just put a fence midtexture or something so that the player can tell what is playable space and what isn't.

[Anonymous No.6693003]

>>6692976
No, the linedef that blocks you. Like, outside there's linedefs everywhere that arbitrarily stop you from moving further into the water. It doesn't make sense so either make it a wall, a midtexture, or delete it if there's room, and that way you can open up the battlefield for the final fight and maybe throw some imps in there

What the previous anon said, but with Sewers. That was literally my_first_map.wad from a couple of years ago, and I was burnt out on Retirement Grease so I didn't do much to the former.

[Anonymous No.6693067]

It probably won't be so bad with changes implemented

Add more enemies at the end battle but avoid infighting

I probably am overreacting though. I tried to fix up the progression some, and polished the map a bit here and there. I'm not really sure what else to do with it, probably because I don't like the map.

I'll leave someone else to polish it up if they want to.

I made a testing map that kinda got out of control when I started trying techniques and adding more stuff. I don't know whether I have already posted it here already, but here it is:

It's Shipwreck Cavern, what I've noticed that need to be fixed is one of the fences with a fucked up texture offset. I'd say there's too much ammo and I'd consider making the fences smaller so you can still see the surroundings. Idk what else could be done about the gameplay, I'd say the aesthetics and the concept are the most appealing things about this map.

[Anonymous No.6693210]

>>6693164
Shipwreck Cavern, it needed some fixing done because of issues with softlocking and unclear progression.

Here it is, I made some minor improvements as well.

[Anonymous No.6693379]

That works, filling in the foreheads makes the faces more distinct and visible, though I kind of liked the outline of the eyes visible in the dark eye sockets, made them more directly recognizeable as human, as opposed to the less human empty eye sockets.

Samuel Samuelson here, sorry about going MIA and not fixing shit earlier. I like what you did with the map, but one of the fence textures are messed up and I think you should just remove the torches altogether if you're going to replace torch switches with normal ones.
If you guys still hate the map after fixes, it's alright if you move it to the extra wad.

Hey, sorry for being a harsh critic, this is a community project after all, and we all gotta start somewhere. I've worked a lot with Doombuilder in the past, but even if I put effort into detail, all of that shit played like absolute crap, if I were to show some screenshots, some of it would possibly make some people go "Oooh, that looks kinda cool, I wanna try it out." but then if you got to actually play it, it would be the most boring shit ever, and most of it was never finished.

Where were you all this time, btw?

That sounds like every one of the doom wads I've made. I think I'm getting better at it though, there are a few maps I'm pretty proud of and I think I just need to learn more.
