I think the big Gatling gun doesn't really fit very well with the actual firepower Doom's chaingun has, it hits like the pistol and fires at modest rate. To me, that slim black subgun from the Alphas make more sense. In Doom 64, it does actually fire a little faster, and has a more satisfying animation.

Either reskin it, or buff its damage or rate of fire.

>> No.7961669

>>7961656
>In Doom 64, it does actually fire a little faster
What the fuck, I thought I was just imagining the Doom 64 chaingun being stronger because it sounds better.

>> No.7961681

>>7961669
I think it's something like Doom's Chaingun animating and firing at 4 tics per frame, while Doom 64's is at 3 tics per frame, so 8 tics per cycle versus 6 tics per cycle (35 tics = 1 second).
Being a little bit faster gives it a better chance of stunning, and obviously also provides a higher damage per second as a result. Considering Doom 64's heavy use of Knights and Barons, and the juiced up Elementals, I think it's fair enough for the game in question.

I disagree, the monsters sound great, and explosions and stuff sound amazing. For the pistol, I think it's more the fact that it straight up IS piddly as a weapon, if it worked like Duke Nukem's pistol I think people wouldn't complain about it at all.
Similarly, if the chaingun was just a little faster, the sound (and appearance) I think would work better, because it would actually feel as mighty as it looks.

>> No.7961795

Thats good practice. If the difficulty stays almost constant throughout 32 levels, itll feel stale after awhile.

I get that feeling too, has anyone looked at Doom 64's code and know if something handles differently?

Although the original BFG9000 is actually a pretty stupidly powerful weapon if you understand how it works (which I'm not sure even iD fully did at the time), and I always felt it made a lot more sense in Doom 2 and Final Doom, whereas in the first game it's kind of excessive.

There's certainly a lot more going on in Doom 64 levels, visually. Nice coloured lighting effects, and more varied textures.

But the fights seem pretty sparse - lots of barons on their own to pad things out. Wheras Doom 2 throws loads of weaker, but varied enemies at you.

3D Realms just announced their own map jam for any FPS game.
https://twitter.com/3DRealms/status/1417212652858773504
>Game: Any publicly-released FPS with the tools for mapping and distribution, as well as the ability to craft/track secrets!
>Map Elements: A single player map - the only requirement is the inclusion of a secret that includes the RD2021 logo in some form (logo can be downloaded via link at the bottom). After maps are released, players will be on the prowl to find this secret across each map!
>Theme: Whatever you want!
>Submission Deadline: August 8th

>Step 1: Make your map and submit it before the cutoff date! If your game distributes maps via the Workshop or an ingame browser, please include directions for players to access your content.
>Step 2: Players will have roughly one week to check out the maps across various games, hunting down the Realms Deep secrets and taking screenshots.
>Step 3: We'll collect these screenshots for use in promoting your maps, and there may be some prizes for complete sets as well.

Really excited for Realms Deep too. If WRATH: Aeon of Ruin, Ion Fury: Aftershock & SiN Reloaded get released during it, that would be just glorious. Although, if I had to guess, SiN probably has most chances for that with others getting release date. Also GRAVEN should definitely get its first content update... and proper announcement of that "2001" game.

I remember seeing stuff like that, and i honestly think Doom was never at risk of dying to Quake.
Wolfenstein 3D modding was a novelty at most in the early days, you really can't do much without actually altering the .exe substantially, and in fact I think people got the more impressive stuff done by more extensive hacks, and then using the released source code. Combine with the far narrower scope for gameplay and level design, you can only do perfect 90 degree walls, with no height variation or even remote switches, and basically all enemies are dudes with guns.

Meanwhile, Doom can actually do quite a whole lot even without modifying the engine, the gameplay is reasonably versatile with the first game, and HIGHLY versatile with the second game's new monsters, also people were already figuring out some pretty damn ballsy hacks to the .exe in the 90s. With time passing, computers got more powerful, and then eventual source code releases led to some great quality of life upgrades for modders (like not having to use DEUSFX to patch your iwad when you wanted to play a pwad, and then having to unpatch it later).

If anything, Quake was just another fun game which you could also swipe textures (and sounds) from, some which converted well to Doom's palette and fit the original aesthetic rather handsomely. Quake grew into its own thing and they have coexisted fairly well in all these years.

PC and Saturn are the only two of note, and they're completely different games beyond the premise. PC has really tight design, like they looked at the current games at the time, saw where they could be improved, and did so, while Saturn is a bit more original in its concepts, if not as polished. Both are worth playing and forming your own opinions on.

The Build engine version was the first version, and is a straight-forward classic shooter. The combat is just fine, but the levels are really large and well-designed. You can play that in BuildGDX.
The console versions were developed after but released around the same time. Theyre a completely different game, sharing the general theme and some art. The game has Metroid-like progression where you return to older levels with new movement abilities. You can play the PS1 version on PC with Powerslave EX. The Saturn version is mostly the same, but with slightly different levels.

Yes. It's not a raycaster either. It has the concept of a third dimension, other wise falling, cacodemons, and fireballs wouldn't exist. It's a 3d engine that cheats in 2d ways occasionally.

>> No.7962997

>>7962960
Yes, it has an X, Y, and Z axis. It just skips height checks in a couple of instances (players and monsters passing above and below each other), and the level data has no provisions for stuff like real 3D bridges and room over room structures.
You can however build those things onto the engine with little difficulty, Heretic let players and monsters pass above and below each other (and used floating magic sparkle platforms to make mid-air bridges for some levels).

Some people are confused by not just the infinite vertical range of explosions, and also the vertical auto-aim, I think. They don't realize that the game adjusts your point of impact vertically, to shoot at enemies above or below the center of your view (compensating for the lack of vertical aiming), not realizing that attacks can very much pass above and below targets, particularly if the monster is completely obscured from you.

Just beat E1 of Travail. The maps are very well designed and the encounters are very well done, but I'm just not having much fun. There's a lot of backtracking to be done and I just plain keep getting lost with how large some of these maps are. Not to mention that a lot of these fights just seem above my paygrade most of the time, at least with the tools you're given to handle them. That last map in particular above the lava right before the boss level pretty much soured me on the whole episode I was so annoyed. Scrags, Vores, and Shamblers are situated atop long line of sight platforms with the only bits of real cover at the start and end of the platforms.
All of that and the fact it took me about a half-hour each on the longer maps means I'm probably gonna take a break from the other episode for a hot minute.

There's been tons of great mods and i'm not sure which ones to pick from and put in Megawads, Level Packs, and Gameplay Mods with how many quality releases we have seen throughout the past four years.
I should be able to get the multiplayer maps section filled, but not mods, I don't know too many of those since i'm a purist hipster.

As for other sections, REKKR will be added to TCs and lilith.pk3 to historically notable shit. I'm not sure just how many I can add to those sections, so I'll focus on those later. I also might be able to fit in a MIDI pack box since those don't need descriptions.

Doom64 has fewer textures than Doom or Doom2. That's part of the reason why it uses colored walls and floors, so as to disguise that fact.

The PSX Doom used colored lighting to disguise the fact that the onboard memory couldn't load very many textures, while the N64 Doom used colored lighting to disguise the fact that it couldn't store many textures on the cartridge. Different reasons, same end result.

Thanks man! My knowledge with ZScript is super limited, but I think I could make it temporary somehow. The gist of it is the archie does a unique damage type which causes a unique death sequence for imps. When they die, they spawn a new enemy in their place.

>So an archie that resurrects monsters as the next higher tier or what?
Yeah! I've got another enemy type which I intend to use in the archvile's place. The necromancer (webm related) throws projectiles that spawn lost souls on impact. The lost souls then seek out bodies and revive them by sacrificing themselves. It can only have five souls active at a time.

This is my main issue with gzdoom. It's not demo compatibility, I don't do speed running. It's that he just fucking changes shit arbitrarily without having actual toggles for compatibility. GZDoom has gotten better, but about fixing older issues, but prboom+ um is a way better start.

Yeah, I see that issue. For instance, Ghost Monsters should either be a compatibility option, or meeting his autism halfway, a flag for UMAPINFO, if he's so fucking concerned about it happening outside of intended maps.
There's already a curated internal list of maps recognized by hash or something which allows it, like that one Icarus level, may as well just let the users and makers decide for themselves.

Yeah, so I tested it now myself, though I don't know whether my setup was the best.
I made a simple room and put a decoration at every 32x32 intersection. In the end I had something around 16k things in the map.
At that point (GZD 4.6, HW mode, with all the modern amenities but filters and post processing) I could only reach about 20 fps anymore.
Then I removed the things from the map and instead put the same number of linedefs and gave all of them grate midtextures.
The framerate stayed at 35 fps.
Because my laptop was already aching when editing the linedefs (even though it didn't when placing the things) I didn't want to go further or try with other textures to see if having transparency or different sizes does anything.

In practice for me that means no functional difference as I don't make slaughter maps and will probably not have that many things in any map ever.

I don't wanna diagnose myself (not a doctor), but... Yes. I totally have some mental issues and there's a chance I actually have autism. But yeah, a lot of agonizing... Not really about the past though. It's mostly about my current failures nowadays.

I'm the anon who asked all the questions. I'm not a professional, but I do have similar problems. Mine are caused by ADHD, and I'm curious; Have ever been checked for that or a similar condition? It's no replacement for a pro, but a quick diagnostic test like this page https://add.org/adhd-test/ might help you have some reason for further investigation. Worst it can do is waste a few minutes of your time, which if you're like I've been in the past, then you already feel like you've wasted plenty of time not getting anywhere, so what's the loss in a few minutes of harmless reading?

The Macintosh port of Doom, unlike the equivalent Doom95 for PCs, is integrated tightly with the classic Mac OS operating system, with ability to be launched from the Finder, a menu bar, and custom command key shortcuts for various in-game menu options. Messages given by the game, such as the question asked when the player requests to quit, are actual Mac OS dialogs with the Doomguy's face for an icon.

In addition to the PC's low/high detail toggle, the Macintosh adds support for 640x400 resolution as a "large graphics" mode. There is no support for aspect ratio correction, however, so the game will appear slightly flattened on the Macintosh's square-pixel display relative to its appearance on the PC.

Rather than supporting MUS, music is played from a set of external MID! files (a QuickTime-specific form of MIDI) stored in a Music folder alongside the game's WAD file and executable. Some of the MIDIs contain discrepancies between repeats of the same song.

During the special start-up credits sequence, a built-in frontend can be launched by pressing the S key, for configuring multiplayer games, adding WAD files, warping to various levels, and controlling other options.

Network multiplayer is supported over AppleTalk and IPX protocols.

Ok, so I was thinking about adding some shadow enemies because some kids are scared of shadows and the dark and such, right? I was adding that to my enemy list, glossing over it, when I noticed something and realized the obvious:

GUYS! GUYS! WHAT IF....
SHADOW NINJAS?

Not sure about the exact design, but as I am envisioning them at the moment, they're pure melee attackers, but they frequently teleport around close to you or behind or something, to make them a bit more unpredictable than, say, a pinky and have them be closer to something that shoots at you. They're not supposed to be any kind of high-tier enemy though.

Saving requires too much willpower not to abuse, so better to not save at all. If a wad is too difficult to finish without savescumming I simply stop playing it.

>> No.7964915

>>7964869
Not the same anon, but saving is a feature of convenience, and it's essential for any game which isn't just like two or three hours long at most, but it can also be abused, and it can be abused very badly in some games.

There's no real gauge to this, because it's a pretty subjective territory and varies from game to game, but at some point it's worth standing back and considering how much you're cheating yourself out of the ecstatic feeling of besting a good challenge.
I get the frustration of banging your head against something that's plain above your pay grade, but I also am very familiar with the frustration of a game not putting any effort into challenging me (mostly when that what was it promised it would do). To a point, I invoke that frustration on myself with excess saving, and I have found that I do actually save the game too much sometimes, and I try to reign that in.

For a Doom example, the new Fun Level in the new Doom 64 ports, Panic, I couldn't beat that level for the life of me, even abusing saves. It's intense, and I couldn't figure out an approach which worked at all. However, for one of the original Fun Levels, Hardcore, that shit wrecked my asshole sideways, but eventually I did actually manage to defeat that level without saves, and I felt like a total champion. Even if Panic was the one level I couldn't best, I still feel good about conquering Hardcore.

Sorta, head of the turret is from Duke, and the tripod is from a video camera, also from Duke.
Original sentry gun from Immoral Conduct is that turret on a base with a pole made from a Doom lamp, serviceable enough, but also looks dinky and goofy, because short of bolting this thing into the floor (which may not make sense for various different floor/ground surfaces), it looks like it would tip over really easily.

With a tripod, it would look a lot more stable, and also like it could actually stand by itself on any reasonably flat piece of floor or ground (which Doom has plenty of, be that stone or wood, or dirt, even living hell flesh). I'll just have to animate it compacting and deploying, I suppose it uses telescoping legs, and it'll have to have some kind of rotator or something implying it can tilt the gun up and down. I figure it'll also do better with a single gun barrel, and then replacing the other one with like a camera lens, maybe bolting an ammo box to the side of it, so it all looks more novel and also more plausible.

I'd love to make it so that the head and bipod are different actors when deployed, forcing both to billboard differently, but I don't know how to do that, and it'll almost certainly come out all shit and janky if I try to do it.

On that note, I'm almost done with Arcane Dimensions. I went for map order in readme file (except I started with test & remix maps, but anyway) and I've only Tears of the False God left.

Also, I think I'm getting tired of long maps now (long time coming as I love Ion Fury). Short ones felt really great probably because of that.

Maybe Hexen, although I dont think they would do a sword and sorcery style melee focused game.

The best way I could see Hexen or Heretic music is something close to Diablo 1 and 2 soundtrack.
I don't want anything like The Witcher or Skyrim

Skyrim was not that bad visually for fantasy, it honestly has some really cool stuff in it, and concept art hinted at more that they could not do in a fucking xbox.

Witcher I get your point.

Hexen needs that dark sun, vive not faggy geralt 16th century faggotry.

Start map is still being worked on, albeit slowly. VARIANTS.TXT is up in the main Mega folder with some enemy variants examples, though mostly for grunts for now.

Another enemy idea. I wanted something that would fill a similar niche to the chaingunner, but while being less of a pain in the ass to deal with. This one has tracers on its shots so you know where it is, and if you get within melee range of it, it'll stop trying to shoot you and will do a weak melee attack instead.

It might be a little lacking in its current form. I'll have to think about it.

at this point, the wholesome isabelle crossovers are less about the contrast of two different franchises and more that doom has reached a certain "fake edge" status, when you see interviews directly mentiong "saturday morning cartoon" as a mood for the game

I don't how it was in US, but here Doom was quite safe even at 90s. Every kid knew the game, and thought it was cool. It was safe fun, that didn't cause a single negative feeling. After all violence was cartoony even at it's age. Even my dad played it, and didn' t see a reason to ban it from me.

Not defending Eternal though. It's not safeness, but the fact that it's soulless product made in line and to be forgotten. I did play it, even had fun, but like with every modern game, i see no reason to return. It was released last year and it's already dead.

A lot of people don't know about the St. Peter's Cross, so that ends up being regarded as one of those gothic details.

Which begs the question where this all "rebel attitude" they boast about modern Doom. Is it because it listens to the fans? Fanservice? Lack of microtransactions?
It's still a fucking product where they're cashing in big time.
Look at all that merch,partnerships for the skins and so on.
It clearly has passion it but as others said,it gives a weird perspective on what Doom should be.

Don't get me started with the lore,clearly one of the biggest cases of pandering in modern trends. Doesn't help that it sucks

>>7966569
If anything it was the novelty factor,for seeing all that brutality on the screen.
It's nothing new that even kids knew and played GTA games as well.

The only impact modern Doom had was just giving inspiration for more retro style FPS games and that's it.
If they firmly believe that more shooters like Eternal is a good thing,then they weren't aware on what other games did copying the likes of COD and Halo back in the 2000s and early 2010s

>So he now shoots projectiles or what?
Yeah, I figured projectiles that move really fast would work better in this context. The player would have to be incredibly far away for there to be a meaningful difference between a fast projectile and a hitscan attack. The alternative is to have it fire tracer projectiles that do no damage while firing hitscan attacks.

>Also, how are you achieving the tracer effect? Modified smoke trail?
I created a tracer actor, then changed the projectile's MissileType property to the name of that tracer. You also have to make the projectile inherit from FastProjectile to give it a tracer. You can read more about it here:

That's literally the whole point of liturgical satanism. They "pervert" and "invert" everything, hence also the upside-down pentagram etc.

Alright, so I just finished 2048 (inb4 slowpoke).
Overall it was pretty fun, though I didn't like Forsaken Stockades and The Black Crest, those were both filled with absolute fucking bullshit. Black Crest looked better than some other levels, but camping in one of the corners and weaving fireballs for most of the map is really not fun. When it opens up at the very end it gets a bit better.
I really liked the last map, the boss fight was an absolute clusterfuck, but in a good way.
