I had the same issue after upgrading my Linux Mint. I think I had to pull an older fluidsynth package, maybe 1.1.6? I'm not near that computer right now. I found a .deb floating around, I think the link was on a forum related to id games, but maybe it still exists in the repos on its own.

I gave Baal's Coliseum another go tonight, trying it with a save right before the Archvile fight.
It's still a fucking bullshit fight and feels like I only ever get by due to RNG flinches. If you don't already know about the Archviles that spawn when you're in the jail cell, you literally won't have enough ammo to finish the map because you'll be trapped in the room with the Mancubi.
I said fuck it and skipped that map. Trifecta was a cinch by comparison, beat it first try without saves. I think Baal's Coliseum deserves a much later map slot.

Tiny Fragments was a great map, I really liked the verticality. Only changes I would want to see is lessening the total number of Hell Knights and making the Mastermind emerge from the ground when you drop down.
I ended up just running past the Hell Knights and leaving them after a few frustrating deaths to them. As for the Mastermind, I just cheesed that section by making her infight the Barons. The invincibility sphere was then used to complete the rest of the level because the Mastermind was already 3/4 dead when she was done infighting.

[Anonymous No.6694582]

>>6693919
Isn't gameplay and enemy AI kind of married to the draw distance in those games? Like if you increase the draw distance you'll be able to see the enemies standing around doing nothing, and you can just shoot them and they'll not respond until you get into range? You could probably alter the AI's range, but that brings into question how that will change how the levels all play, since they're designed with that in mind.

I thought that Quake could only record single level demos, but I just tested it out and it turns out you can record full episode or full game runs in one demo.

The fact that this doesn't even touch on encounter design until the end of the wad shows just how ass-backwards the design philosophy of the average doomworlder is. The first, most prime objective of a map is to play well. Detailing and texture work can be added quite easily, but unfucking a pretty map that's awful to play is nearly impossible. Even the example of "good monster placement" is laughable, failing to use pinkies, mancubi, etc correctly. To top it all off, it ends with the classic "Baron in a narrow hallway" of shit encounter design. Unironically the first room setup on the "bad" example is actually a better encounter, but the mapper probably assumes it's worse because he didn't put any meme skeletons. I don't even like to suckle on Romero's chubbie but has the author of this map even played anything he created?

I could go on. It doesn't surprise me that most modern maps play like shit when people think what's in here is good design. In <current year> I'm pretty sure we've all seen the limits that you can push the doom engine to graphically. Nobody gives a fuck how many hundreds of thousands of linedefs of detail you have when the map is still the same boring crap that plays like it came out of SLIGE.

Just looking at the map, while the examples the mapper has made aren't always good, I think it's disingenuous to say that the map focuses too much on making pretty looking maps. Map Layout, Variety and Dynamics, and Flow and Navigation are all categories that can effect how a map plays just as much as Combat. It doesn't help that he decided to say "aka gameplay" at the combat section, though.

Linking to my old critiques in case the authors missed them. I'll try to work my way through the rest of the WAD tonight but I want to get this out there first:
>Arrogance and Contempt
NO NEED TO USE OLD VERSION.
I replayed it and it's not that bad, it's actually pretty good. What was happening before was that one of the enemies (chaingunner, I think?) was opening the door to the pews room and everything in the pews room was getting alerted from the start and it was too much to deal with without much ammo. So first off, make it so monsters can only open the door from the pew side.
The other thing is that the balcony above the baron room needs a midtexture to show that you can't drop down there. This blocking line should be a little away from the edge because currently walking up to the ledge alerts all the barons down below. Other than this, I didn't have a problem with the level anymore.
>>6693975

If only there was a way to play Boom maps through DOS; there's MBF but I read in the Woof thread in DW that MBF doesn't properly play Boom. I've been using this DOS pack and it has MBF in there to play Doom instead of the other executables for whatever reason >>6685207 I think this means I can play Valiant and Eviternity through DOS :D

I'm not sure if the teleporters were built to stagger the enemy arrivals, but they were pretty inconsistent. Personally I find it annoying to camp a teleporter, kill everything, wait for more to come out, no more are coming, walk away, and get fragged by a chaingunner that teleported in late to the party.
>Bleak Cinders
Still a great level. Not sure what's up with the second BFG placement though, seems unnecessary.
>Black Crest
I really like parts of this level. Currently it kind of feels like bullshit though.
Definitely agree with the guy that said the beginning of the level felt like an RNG fest. Once you get one skeleton down, it's fine, but all four at once is just a roll of the dice. I ended up playing from a save that starts directly after this part.
The blue key part with the mancubus suffers the same problem. You have to try and dodge incoming missiles that are BEHIND you (no matter what direction you're facing) so it's just a matter of RNG. Did you happen to weave in and out of bullshit coming in from behind you.
This is the part I gave up on. I even ended up creating a save state before this part and still couldn't get past it.
Maybe I just need to git gud but this two parts of the level just legitimately felt unfair.
>Tyrant's Starless Realm
Great finale. There was one time where I pressed the switch and the door wasn't open but oh well. I don't think the soulsphere secret needs to be there considering you just picked up the megasphere. However, this is also the only way I know of to get down. I couldn't find my way out the first time so I just jump down there. So I like having the teleporter there but maybe the secret could be more cell ammo? I'm not sure.
Also, I agree with the other guy who said you shouldn't unpeg the elevator texture. It's confusing.

Do you DOS Doomers have your snd_musicdevice set to 8 to use your default Windows MIDI player?

So far 2 and 4 need to be GUS or OPL emulation but I'm not sure the difference between GUS/OPL sound. 7 and 8 go to VirtualMIDISynth, and the rest of the numbers don't work, but it could be because the snd_mport address is wrong (I have it set to 816 and I'm not messing with that 'cause I dunno what to do)

For the Revenant part I'd recommend manouvering in an 8 shape, in the blue key part the corners of the blocking walls are a bit higher and they should block Mancubus missiles if you lean against them, you'd still have to go from corner to corner to avoid other fireballs.

Alright, Roundabout Cliffside doesn't actually play bad, looks plain at first glance, but coming back to the arch-vile surprise did a lot to spruce up the encounter. I don't think the pile of rockets up on the ledge by the exit are super necessary, as I had killed everything but the last baron by the time I got up there.
I can't see anything on the map that badly needs fixing in terms of gameplay, maybe I'd add some more monsters on UV. For visuals, they're as said, plain, but I'm unsure of what I should be changing on them.

Made the closet in Bleak Cinders smaller, so you can't wedge yourself behind the.... thing anymore.
Also altered the burning cellblock in Forsaken Stockades so that it's not four layers of transparent textures, now just two (apparently that lead to performance issues for someone?)

Last update to these now.

[Anonymous No.6695664]

>>6695592
After replaying through it a few times, I think these are the main issues:
* The map is overall flat. This is probably the biggest reason why it feels dull. It could probably be resolved with a descent towards the red key room, but the area past the Archvile pillar might make it be too tight in it's current form.
* Lack of good lighting. I think this would be really hard to pull off, and I don't think I can do it near the cliff due to the dark floor texture.
* The chaingunner alert is silent. Probably fixed with an instant raising floor.
* The red skull lift probably should be replaced with something walkable.
* The sky needs to be slightly lifted above the red skull door.

On the extra rocket ammo, when I playtested this I wouldn't kill the Barons & Hell Knights until I had ascended on the cliff itself, so that's why it is initially there. Also the tree occasionally blocks rockets in GZDoom, so they're there to increase the margin of error while the play dodges missiles on the higher cliff.

I made some small changes to Sewers. I added a few more zombiemen here and there, removed some redundant line effects, and fixed a couple of misaligned textures. The final Archvile is accompanied by a pair of Pinkies, just to make it capable of doing anything at all.
Would a death exit be a good idea if it ends up staying as an end-of-episode map? You get a free BFG in it, and that might be way too much for someone playing continuous.

I blindly played through your variant, and I was surprised but humoured that you turned it into a slaughter map.

Gothic looking stuff would include Scythe, Scythe 2, and Bloodstain (the latter being one of my favorites). We here at /doom/ are also in the late stages of finishing a 32+ mapset using a texture pack called GOTHICTX, so that's going to be pretty gothic.

If you like oldschool shooters with gothic trappings in general, also check out Quake, which in some ways is a lot like Doom, but also not really, enemies are less numerous, but also are generally more dangerous to make up for it, and being a true 3D game it makes a lot of use out of height. Also look at Blood, it's a pretty hard game, but if you learn to 1; not be afraid of using cover sometimes, 2; jumping and crouching a lot (makes it hard for gunmen to get a bead on you), and 3; making liberal use out of dynamite, the game is quite playable, and lots of fun.

Duke Nukem 3D is another game from this era, one of my favorites, it's not gothic in the slightest (at least aesthetically), but it's a lot of fun.

I think a good way to point out the aesthetical differences between old and new Doom are the lost souls
one is just a human skull with horns and fire and is either a corrupted human soul or one of a demon that mimicked something human
the other tries to have a more complicated design, either trying to be cartoonier or more demonic but it doesn't strike as eeire
one feels like something actually heavy metal related or even belonging in some old paintings
the other is like a sly cooper character

>I know jumping kinda fucks up doom, but what is exactly the problem with crouching?'
Just like how jumping can let you reach spots you wouldn't normally be able to, crouching can also do that, by letting you pass underneath things which you shouldn't. Jumping and crouching can also be used to perform dodging maneuvers which you wouldn't normally be able to, as well.

If you want to play with mods and use jumping and crouching, that's fine, I do that too, amidst runs of straight vanilla, though personally I'm always mindful to never do anything which would obviously break progression. I just think it's fun to use jumping and dodging for movement maneuvers and taking cover.
Freelook can also be used to break progression in some cases, like with shootable switches and Doom 2's map 30, where you're just not supposed to be able to manually shoot above or below your position, just as well I personally try to consciously avoid making such progression breaks.

>If you guys hate brutal doom so much, what is a good alternative?
Most of the hate for Brutal Doom really comes from 1; the author is abrasive and unlikable for a number of reasons, 2; when BD started getting popular, it drew in a lot of underage kids who did nothing but play BD, attributed things like freelook and jumping to BD (some games 'journalists' were also guilty of this), and complained very loudly and incessantly if this or that map or gameplay mod wasn't playable or even compatible with BD, usually these complains were nonsense.

Beyond that, some enjoy BD for what it is, and aren't whining dipshits about it, some feel that it's flawed (or grew flawed with increasing updates and scope creep/bloat), and sought out or even made variants or 'competitors' of BD. One of those is Project Brutality, which I have heard is supposed to be mostly better (I couldn't tell you, I last played BD like 10 years ago, and thought it was ok, but moved on to other things I liked better).

>but I also want harder monsters
If you really want to up the challenge, there's Hideous Destructor ("Tyyyyyrant"), which, to describe it is kind of like turning Doom into a mix between ARMA and SWAT 4, with a heavy emphasis on realism (as far as Doom goes), except instead of just fighting dudes with guns, you're also fighting supernatural demons, and the approach is that to be realistic threats, all demons should actually be really dangerous and really troublesome.

It has a bit of a learning curve, and some levels are not realistically playable with the mod (though Doom's original three episodes actually play pretty well with it), but some find it quite enjoyable, because the combination of realistic gunplay and wound management, with evil magic and demons, can't really be found anywhere else.

Sunder Map11. Sunder doesn't have difficulty settings implemented so you can play on skill1 without removing monsters and still get the skill1 buffs (double health and ammo). Play on GLBoom+, you might get a suboptimal framerate using PrBoom+'s software rendering

Like the other anon said, Preacher.wad. Also use GLBoom+. GZDoom can't play demos, and the maps look way better in OpenGL.

GLBoom+ has several sector light modes. Use "GZDoom" sector light mode for Preacher or else everything will be dark as fuck. Use "Shaders" for Sunder; shaders will try to mimic the look of software rendering but you don't get any of the performance loss of using a software renderer

Alright, I think I'll call it finished, the subgun for the 2048 Weapons Pack.

It's made from Doom's alpha and beta guns, a bunch of handrawing, the end-cap from a Carl Gustaf m/45 (it was a 3D model rip, not sure who made the model or who ripped it). The muzzleflash I think is from the Jaguar console port of Wolfenstein 3D.
I was toying with the idea of maybe giving it jungle taped magazines, just for fun (it's not gonna have a reload anyway, so it'd just be for looks), but that would seem kind of bothersome since I would have to basically redraw the magazine for the other direction. All I've left to do is to give it a pickup sprite.

It'll be available as individual parts (gun, magazine, charging handle, muzzle flashes), for people who want to play around with those.

I don't understand how everybody makes a single save last so long. I save at least four times a sector, and I need a separate folder every time. First, I make a bunch of saves so my fingers don't get cold. Secondly, I place a wad of saves in another folder so nothing acts up. Thirdly, I use all of my armor at once, so I go through multiple stages of shooting and moving, and saving every time I do so. Once I'm empty, I take the rest of the HP left on the save and cover my missed items, so that I can ensure that everything saves properly. I can't be the only one who does this, right?
Honestly you people laugh at save hoarders, but you really don't actually have enough harddrive space yourselves in a definitely big way. The average person uses 1 save per room, which is quite significant. If you mostly have a family of 4, that's 28 save folders a week, which for all intents and purposes is fairly significant. Over 100 a month in a big way. Saves will for all intents and purposes be sort of worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone for all intents and purposes needs them.

Are you using bMouse or a similar sort of program? BUILD engine games originally had wonky mouse controls, where only one axis could update at a time.

>>6698539
bMouse as in vertical movement? Not at all, I just play horizontal + autoaim ever since I heard that's what Doom and most retrofps usually play with. I do occasionally aim up or down, though that's not through mouselook. It just feels like there's input delay on both DOSBox and BloodGDX, so I just swapped to NBlood after I finished the game on BuildGDX. If there's a way to fix that issue, I'd swap almost immediately.

It doesn't have a framerate limit. If your monitor is 60hz then you wont notice anything above 60 anyway. If you turn the resolution too high it will lose frames. I recommend editing the .cfg file and typing in the custom resolution of 640x400, double the values of the game's normal resolution. As for the mouse, if I'm gonna play on DOSBox I'm also gonna play with autoaim and no vertical mouse look, like I remember playing old FPS games; if I want vertical mouse look and no autoaim I'll play on a modern port.

BuildGDX or Classic Redux are your only two options AFAIK because those are the only two that will play the music; you can't play the music through DOSBox or Classic Complete (which is run thru DOSBox).

Turns out the devs of EDuke32 released a Shadow Warrior port recently, VoidSW, but it's still in beta. It comes with the download of the new version of EDuke. I just tested out and it's virtually identical to WangGDX, except I noticed three differences: WangGDX's sounds sound better compared to VoidSW I think, but WangGDX doesn't let me bind right mouse button to strafe which bothers me. I'd still probably go for WangGDX at this point, though, because WangGDX's HUD looks way better.

On the topic of EDuke, I recommend Rednukem over EDuke; Rednukem is a fork of EDuke, and I noticed that when you take those teleporting lifts in douk episode two, the level disappears for a fraction of a second and you can see the sky, but this bug doesn't occur in Rednukem.

>>6699228
I haven't played Valiant yet, but maybe the Arachno soundfont sounds best for Valiant's MIDIs. Like I said, I use Mysung Kite 99% of the time. For BTSX they recommend SC-55 so I'll probably use that when I get around to playing that megawad. For the original Doom MIDIs I just use the Roland SC-55 music packs, but you can't use those with PrBoom+ so if you want to use 'em you'll have to use Chocolate/Crispy Doom (or GZDoom but I don't recommend it)

>>6700450
in GZDoom change variables to:
vid_brightness 0.175
vid_contrast 1.16
vid_gamma 1.18
vid_saturation 1.05

This makes dark areas slightly more visible, makes outdoor areas noticably brighter while maintaining same level of contrast (i.e. NO washed out colors)

You can also use Doom lightmode and disable fog - that disables the "darkening of diustant areas" effect, but comes at a cost of a bit reduced contrast between light and dark areas.

gl_lightmode 2
gl_fogmode 0

For more immersive solution you can use Steve's flashlight mod that is not just spawning lightsources, but a true light beam

* Sketch out your maps on graph paper first. Deleting things in build can cause horrible problems with your map, that's why it's better plan out your builds.

* Save your map often with multiple copies! MAPEDIT doesn't have an undo feature so if you trash your map your kinda screwed.

I hope this helped you out anon, build mapping may seem overwhelming at first, but creating levels and decorating them in MAPEDIT is wonderful.

[Anonymous No.6701031]

>>6700958
Did you mean texture menu or the 2d mode menu?

There's no GUI in 3d view, just a cursor for selecting stuff. To get into 2d view, hit the "enter" key on the keypad. Then hit "escape" and "n" and "y" to create a new level.

It might have made an unintentional autosave map that the editor keeps trying to boot into, try deleting that if your still having issues. Let me know if your still unable to map and post a screenshot as well.

You can see both of those textures being selected, one is dark, the other is not. Both belong to the very same sector.

Unless the game was modified specifically to make that happen, no. In vanilla only the player takes damage from damaging floors, so unless they're randomly flinching and you're not hitting them, assume that no they can't.

Guys, you think it would be possible to replace Icon of Sin voice bit with this?
https://vocaroo.com/8dLrIL6uwCD

[Anonymous No.6701528]

Alright, the 2048 pistol is done now, and in terms of frames and code, it's the largest weapon in the set, simply for making the reload look good while being fast, and for having a second reload when reloading the pistol from a previously empty stockpile of bullets.

If you hold down the trigger, it will fire pretty fast, though accuracy will be pretty atrocious while you do this, so this is only a good idea at close quarters or against groups. Single taps are perfectly accurate, and damage is the same as the normal pistol.
Altfire lets you trigger the reload from empty sequence manually, if you need to for whatever reason, otherwise, simply pressing fire will automatically go to the reload process (which is very fast). If you just keep holding down the trigger, the pistol will fire rapidly and reload rapidly, like in Duke Nukem 3D.
If you have no ammo left, and nothing left in the magazine, pressing fire will do nothing at all.

A minor consequence of this arrangement is that you can *technically* carry 210 bullets, or 410 bullets in total, as the magazine doesn't count towards the regular ammo pool (so you can load the gun and then pick up more ammo to top off your stockpile), but I don't think that's of significant deal in terms of gameplay, because you're not likely to be falling back to the pistol if you have the subgun (chaingun replacement).
Think of it as an emergency reserve, I guess. I don't want to start defining (more) new ammo types to get around this, because that would mean having to write a new statusbar, and FUCK that noise.

As I said before, there's some deviations, but mostly small ones, the pistol is by far the largest.

Oh yeah, that. That just started as a "Hey, I have this graphic lying around, I could suggest adding it just for fun."
And that was going to be that, but then PrBoom+ didn't like the replacement sound for it, and I just decided "Oh, fuck it, I'll just do a 'reskin' pack which people can use with GzDoom if they want to."

And that's what this is. I actually would suggest to lead that he edits out the shotgun replacement that's in the base .wad, because I don't think it needs to be there, because some people will want it to be as vanilla as possible.

I'm not sure about new shotgun sprite, but replacing the weapon sprites and sounds are pretty normal for vanilla and boom mapsets, this doesn't really breaks anythin.

You could give it a try, but I think you would need to use DeHacked or .BEX to make the subgun animate decently at all, it's not made for the original animation frame rate.

Yea I agree the SMG sprites would look cool. I've always thought an M16 sprite would look better than the chaingun long before this project, but now that I think about it, SMG makes more sense since it shares the same bullets as the pistol. What about 1911/tommy gun (both .45 ACP)

Brutal doom is dumb, but I kinda liked Brutality. It doesn't trump the original game, but I definitely enjoyed playing it. I found that most of the cancerous stuff can be turned off pretty easily.

Since I've been getting back into classic Doom lately, I figured I'd fire up Brutality again to see what's changed. What are some good wads that work well with PB? It changes the sandbox/game balance pretty significantly, some areas of classic wads are harder than vanilla doom, others are trivially easy.
