[Anonymous No.8346151]

>>8346145
Here's the rules https://pastebin.com/zkL8pa12
Gist of it is you pick one of the unclaimed tiles with doomguy's face on it and you draw out a design for a tile. Then you actually map it and once all the tiles are done they'll get "sewn" together to form one big patchwork map. A tile is 1024x1024 units and you have to make entrances (doors or open paths) to any neighboring tiles that also have entrances. So claim a tile, draw out your design for it and make sure it connects, then post your rough draft for me to approve. If you got any other questions just ask.

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. My idea was to start in a sort of densely wooded area, so I wanted some open sky. I'll see about changing the skybox to something more grim, as well as finding a decent texture I can use to make the walls into, well, trees. It'll probably end up looking like an N64 Zelda because of it but whatever.

Thanks for the model anon, this kinda plays like a more jank Fakk2 or heretic 2.

Maybe with a better cross hair and weapons animations it would be even better.


Makes me think than in quake 3 engine ritual could have done better work with polygons and Julie model in fakk2, then again this is my ignorant view maybe back then it was the most they could achieve.

I didn't give it much of a chance awhile back because I wanted it to be a sequel to Quake 1 with all the fast shooting and switching. When viewed as another IdSoft 90s shooter it's very good, and it's lead to me discovering AI fixes and great maps.

Glad you like it. I'm gonna try to 'enhance' a few other ones when I have time, and maybe try porting some from other games. RTCW elite guards seem like an obvious choice.
>Makes me think than in quake 3 engine ritual could have done better work with polygons and Julie model in fakk2
Maybe, but most (all?) Quake 3 engine games use separate models for different body parts so smoothing techniques like what I used might be prone to causing misalignment. I'd imagine there's also a video memory concern with which they might have chosen to prioritize texture resolution.

[Anonymous No.8347331]

Probably this, counting polygons was the real deal back then so your pentium 133 wouldn't just die.

Choose and launch an expansion, type "skill 0-3" in the console (ex. 0 for easy, 3 for hard+), then "map base1" or wherever you want to start in Q2's campaign and you're good to go. This works with custom levels too. I like using the Mission 64 mod personally, though a few level packs have their own custom modifications and improvements like the Citadel mapset.

[Anonymous No.8347357]

Not really. I'd have to rig and then reanimate the models to match Q2's animation frames (assuming they don't happen to be the same). I'll definitely do Elexis though.

I can verify how much of a pain this is. Syncing up weapon positions has been particularly monotonous.

[Anonymous No.8347397]

Alright, so this actually does work now. Foliage, transparent, I just need to fine tune the actual set up of the sectors to hide it I suppose. I probably should set my sights lower for day 1 of making a map period, but I think I'm on a hot streak here.

[Anonymous No.8347409]

>>8346472
No, but making them couldn't be too hard, you'd just have to copy the writing style and depth of the originals.

For Q2, go over notable ports, the 3.24 patch, how to set up multiplayer, how custom skins/models work, and all the major maps and mods.
For HL, make the distinction between the old Sierra versions and Steam, how they differ, and how the former doesn't like modern Windows. Bring up the patch differences for Sierra, the Steamless project, and maybe Xash.
Make a separate page for all the mods because there's a fuck ton.

I'm playing through Halo CE, and it isn't great.
At the time, I can see how it would have been unique. The scale would have been impressive.
But I'm not a fan of the level design at all. I just got through Assault on the Control Room, and it is just a slog. The same rooms over and over. Far too long.
On heroic (which the game is apparently balanced for), enemies are bullet sponges.

[Anonymous No.8347621]

>>8347525
Just play Heretic anon, you have difficulty settings and the first three episodes (the original game) aren't hard. I finished it with keyboard look when I was three years old, while my mom was controlling the inventory/ action keys. The expansion ones are kinda bullshit for new players. You can safely skip them since the story is over after the Dome of D'Sparil.
Here's some tips:
1) Use Crispy Heretic, unless widescreen and mouselook are a must for you. It's the most advanced source port that maintains full compatibility with the vanilla game.
2) Set your key binds, I personally use WASD to move, Q and E to look up and down, space for action. The rest is up to you, but make sure you set hotkeys for items you're going to use a lot and for your inventory. Stop flying key also re-centers your view, so you can leave the center view key unbound and use it for something else.
3) Shadowspheres negate certain attacks (especially one that comes after you, I won't spoil it). You also can't carry more than one item of each that you picked up between levels so make sure to use them.
And after you're done with Heretic play Hexen.

[Anonymous No.8347628]

>>8347609
All the halo games are soulless shit like ME. They are not bad, I had some fun playing 1 and 2 on pc some years back. But yeah its boring.

But fuck its amazing it got so serious, especially with novels and cringe shit like reach. The aliens look especially dumb, and there is not an ounce of originality on the bootleg human space marines.

Then again I look at the whole fanbase with better eyes when compared to the absolute trash that is cod and other similar games.

[Anonymous No.8347649]

>>8347525
Yes, it's a good entrypoint, easy to learn the fundamentals, with a skill ceiling that reaches to the sky, depending on how hard you like your custom mapsets. You can be really fucking good at the game, but still if you look around you can find something that's gonna give you something that'll be a challenge.

Anyway, the base game is pretty straightforward, and pretty easy. Start with Doom 1, you can probably play on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty level if you have just limited experience with FPS, if you've played other kinds of FPS a lot, probably you could start with Ultra-Violence right away. Episode 4 starts out pretty hard, so maybe drop down to HMP again when you get that far.

One can deliberate over sourceports and accuracy all day long, but mind these:
>1: You can use a mouse, but in the original game you cannot look up or down, the game adjusts shots vertically for you with enemies above and below the center of your screen, the mouse only turns you horizontally, which is still extremely useful
>2: The original .exe has an annoying mouse movement function tied to the mouse (moving you backwards and forwards), most sourceports, and even the new official ports, lets you use the mouse without it, this setup is recommended, and nobody will hold it against you.
>3: Game isn't designed around jumping and crouching, if you can't squeeze underneath something, or you can't cross a gap or reach a ledge by running off from another one, you're not meant to get there from here, either there's something else you need to do, or you're not meant to get there at all.
>4: Original game will not let you move above the heads of monsters below you, or underneath flying monsters, but on the other hand, monsters have to follow those rules too and will block each other in the same situation. Advanced ports refers to this as "Infinitely Tall Actors"

Beyond that, there's usually not that much substantial detail between different kinds of ports.

Halo 1 is definitely carried moreso by its multiplayer than the single-player. Are you using energy weapons to break the shields faster?

Yes. Shields aren't really an issue - there are just tons of enemies. Necessitating a slow, somewhat cover-based way of progressing through each level.

Linuxfag here, but complete noobtard, so your mileage with me may vary.
If you're talking about creating a Shell (.sh) file, basically a Windows .bat, then you'd simply use this:

exec <directory to program>/<name of program> -iwad <directory to iwad>/<name of iwad, incl. extension> -file <directory to file>/<name of file incl. extension>

If you want to make it where the source port and files are in the same directory, then use this:

BASEDIR=$(dirname "$0")

To set the "BASEDIR" as the directory the Shell file is in. Then you'd replace <directory to program> with ${BASEDIR}, plus any other sub-directories.

I agree that today playing levels from back then can be frustrating because the player tends to get lost a lot. I think this is because the genre was brand-new. Levels were designed as like a big base or a place, rather than say creating a series of engaging combat scenarios. Because the art was new, mapmakers had not yet learned the need to convey where to go next, let alone how to do it well.

Most interestingly, I think, players themselves didn't even seem to notice this was a problem. I mean, I remember I beat Turok 2 on N64; I tried to replay it recently and I couldn't get past the first level because I didn't enjoy replaying the level over and over looking for that one mission objective that I need in order to progress, and that was with the new PC version that marks the mission objectives in the HUD! I think players themselves didn't notice because that's just how things were, and, today there are so many ways of getting an instant dopamine hit that not getting a fix because you're lost becomes a stressful experience

I'm just using Blender. You can't just slap a subdivision modifier on it though, since there's a poly limit. You'll need to select certain groups of faces (tits, ass, etc) that could really use extra detail and manually subdivide them. You can then add them to vertex groups and apply a smooth modifier to them specifically. You can also use a displacement modifier for extra... er, size.

My 2 cents: Ad Mortem, and every wad for that matter, doesn't need 32 maps to be "complete." There's no need to stretch a wad with more maps, some of which likely will be filler or not up to par (the current set has this issue.) It would be wiser to polish what you already have. If you absolutely must have 32 maps, then maybe it would be better as a closed development thing like Temporal Tantrum that doesn't take the attention of the entire thread, because I'm sure at least more than one anon would prefer not to work on the same project again and instead do something fresh (i.e. 94 Protons, 25 Frags)

>Initially lacking any code from id, the company's programmers Bryon Nilsson and Matt Hopwood proceeded to produce their own custom 3D graphics engine for the Game Boy Advance over the course of nine months, and according to David Palmer, it was around 95% complete, needing only additional optimization to hit the 30 frames-per-second mark. However, John Carmack then located a copy of the Atari Jaguar source code, and he and Activision proceeded to demand that it be used instead of the custom engine that had already been developed.

Yeah you could theoretically set some sorta mouse controls in Dark Forces too, but it's a really weird setup that doesn't give you full mouse aim and basically only replaces the tank movement on the arrow keys with the mouse.

Here's the latest list of issues in Ad Mortem since there's still a bit of interest in further updates. Notice how the list has gotten smaller.
I think the dehacked problems are particularly important. Using the latest guns from last thread, the supershotgun makes a reload sound even when you're out of ammo and it sounds really weird.

Elexis is fan service, or rather more simply, A fucking bimbo BABE, from times where male creative sexual energies was not verboten.

Not the other guy but I think the question was more about layout and realism. It's a matter of designing buildings that make sense where you can't just slap together some nondescript rooms and hallways. Doom and most of its clones require no deeper motivation and immersion than "you're in this place, kill all the enemies and get to the exit", so it doesn't really matter what the environments look like in detail, and rooms and hallways don't need to have a specific scale or convey a certain function, they're just rooms and hallways.

Now obviously Sunder is beatable saveless, but why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Gazebo plays his maps with saves? He's posted no demos or videos of himself playing anything to my knowledge, and several of the fights in Sunder are subject to RNG, which is just rage-inducing in the case of ultrahard maps that can take over an hour to complete.

Is it a rule to beat the map without saves?
Motherfuckers can meme about how they never use saves but they cannot do something like Sunlust the first time without saves. I probably would have gone insane multiple times if I had done it otherwise.

[Anonymous No.8351950]

>>8351938
because he does? Gazebo doesn't have a reputation as a doomgod or anything like that. And by the way, good players play with saves all the time, because they're practicing parts of the map and figuring out strategies. The saveless gameplay comes when they're doing attempts.

Everyone knows Gazebo's maps are not impressive because of their fights - they are impressive because of their architecture, size, and visuals. Gameplay in some of them can be outright boring. There's no standout ideas in terms of encounter design, or gimmicks, or anything like that. It's hard due to the scope of the encounters.

Thankfully he's a big enough name that good players playtest the maps and offer feedback to save the gameplay aspect of them and not let them get too boring.

>>8351946
I think you are conflating two things.

Playing with saves because you want to experience a map casually is fine. Playing a map with saves first because you want to practice the encounters and figure out consistent strats is fine. Playing a map without saves after you've practiced is fine. Playing a map without saves without practicing to see how far you get is fine. It could be understood that if you beat a map exclusively with saves, you have beaten a map - if you have beaten a map without saves after practicing it with saves, you have mastered it.

Complete bullshit and you're a pleb for thinking that. The only WADs that came before it that have combat anywhere near as interesting as Sunder are Plutonia, Alien Vendetta, and the Scythe series.

It's not like there's only a limited number of projects that can coexist.

Not him, but you can choose a solid crosshair in the options for RealRTCW, which makes the gunplay feel a little "tighter", along with the buffed accuracy, recoil, and weapon balancing across the board (Luger, unscoped Mauser, and grenades are all way stronger). In the base game, the crosshair pulses while waving the gun around or while firing in order to denote what your weapon's cone of fire inaccuracy will be, but I've always found it obnoxious. Some automatics are more accurate than others, but all you gotta know is that crouching increases accuracy, as does firing in bursts. In RealRTCW, enemy AI is a little bit faster and more dangerous, especially on the higher difficulties, but with the new weapons/buffs, you're basically OP, and some sections that were previously notorious for being difficult are now manageable thanks to the inclusion of a shotgun.
Wolfenstein's a hitscan-based FPS series since Wolf 3D, and RTCW is no different, so if you're weary of that kind of thing, definitely play on a lower difficulty especially for a first playthrough. However, you got strafejumping, fast movement, and in the case of RealRTCW, a lot of overpowered weapons to deal with the challenge. The ioRTCW sourceport (which RealRTCW is built on) is the best way to play vanilla for sure, but RealRTCW is honestly a direct upgrade at this point. There are a lot of weapons in RealRTCW, but they're pretty well broken up in availability depending on the mission you're on. You're not going to have access to all of them throughout the game, and they fit the environments they're available in, so the variety freshens up the game a little bit.

>archie blinking through a bunch of teleporters
I tried this with Jawbreaker in HFFM, and I want to strongly advise against it, the AI just doesn't play well with this, Archie's gonna reset his aggro so he doesn't stop, and because of how fast he is moving between so many separate locations, it's very hard to hit him to get his attention (mind his low pain chance, too).
It looks cool visually with him blinking around, but it flows so fucking badly because he's a chore to fight. Jawbreaker grinds to a fucking halt whenever the player tries to take on the teleporter carousel. I almost want to go back and change that, but it's too late.

I would suggest only having him move between two locations at most, and the two of them being relatively close together, if you've gotta do it.

>>8352403
>>8352405
I want to do one. I think that I actually will plan it for after we make 94 Protons, because I think something which HFFM needed was more fast maps. Making hard, fast, and small maps like the original Plutonia for a Plutonia project I think will give people a better idea on how to approach making Harder and Faster maps for the HFFM expansion.

Also, in case it'll give anyone any ideas, I removed every teleport line except for one facing outwards so arch-vile would have to decide to run backwards and bounce of the wall to teleport. This worked well to allow it to combat, but didn't work in a long run because it made fight annoying and unpredictable, while not giving enough output. I was also going to let it go down after a certain switch is pressed.

I will try to do it again in an area small enough that vile would be able to target player from any platform without risk of just zooming past.

the catacombs are a tricky room for sure. i remember a ribbiks post on dw saying it was one out of two rooms that are outright unfair in sunlust. no matter how you decide to approach it, it seems that the best way to start the fight off is by executing a trick with the SSG. the idea is that as soon as you hit the switch in your screenshot, you fire the SSG - so that the pellets have a high chance of causing the cyber to pain or stutter. this will prevent him from teleporting immediately, and will help you killing the archviles around him by causing them to infight. after that, some strategies involve escaping the crypt and coming back later, others stay and fight. but the SSG start to prevent him from teleporting is the most important thing.

Alright, /vr/ community projects are being produced way more frequently and there's tons of newfound interest with no end in sight, but the subject seems to be pretty divisive right now so I propose two solutions.

The game could’ve been balanced around a non-two weapon limit and it would’ve been better, so this is just a big boring tick for Halo.

I think for me it's more about case-by-case situations. Just enjoying the games in general and playing them if they "click" for me. No matter the genre, gameplay, story/lore, etc.
Probably would enjoy a hell of a lot of Marathon since I do like some nice writing in games. I might enjoy Halo, but can't really point out why: it might very well be the "well, it's not really that great, but I enjoyed it overall" type of thing.

Not sure where else to ask this, but I recently tried to get into playing Quake Live on Linux and although I have been able to host custom matches with my friends I haven't been able to join any public servers. I have the steam installation of the game and every time I try to join a server listed on the browser it says "Bad Server Address". I opened the necessary port to be able to host my friends for our custom matches and search engine isn't really returning anything, so if anyone here has any knowledge about why I'd be getting this error it would be appreciated.

That's slightly better at least. But like I said, as long as you had fun that's what matters.

Either way, I would highly encourage you to check it out vanilla at some point. Ideally with an accurate port too, such as DSDA Doom, so it gets the subtleties of the comp level right. Sunlust is one of the greats in terms of encounter design, and it's a real treat to figure it out as it was designed.

Chainsaw - Mega Man 6

Shotgun/SSG - Contra (but hitscan)
Chaingun - Gradius
Rocket Launcher - Metafight

Seconding the other guy, get like Doom Launcher or something, then setup PrBoom+ as your default port, setup your iwads, and then you can add the .wads you want to the launcher (and give them tags for categories).

Very convenient, just click on the .wad you're gonna play, select iwad, add any mods our patches you want, if any, then hit play. It'll save the setting for next time, so you can just click the .wad again.
You can set up multiple ports as well, so if you also use ports like GzDoom or Crispy Heretic, you can add those too.

Actually it's less about killing the server and more about just making it work correctly in general. I'm doing this whole update as a means of decompressing after all that GMOTA shit I've done so far, and making NES themed guns is really therapeutic for me. So I usually try to make stuff relatively simple when it comes to mechanics.
Though I'm gonna go back to the original set and edit the dragon sword to have the same "hit badmans = get goodies" system too, where you'll get a few different subweapons from the Ninja Gaiden games. If you boys have any complaints about Combined_Arms Gaiden, now's a good time to bring it up to me. I'm gonna be buffing the damage of the Bionic Wire too.

I think I got too serious and perfectionist about it, which is funny now considering I'm talking to a Sunlust IL UVMaxer.

Hi Anons, newfag here. Currently I'm using the zandronum launcher with either gzdoom or prboom plus depending on what runs best on my pc. What is this DSDA, is it equivalent and/or superior to the zandronum launcher? Others ITT, >>8357258 >>8357330, mentioned ghosts in DSDA. I assume they're ghosts like in racing games which sounds cool. Just how difficult is DSDA to set up? Zandronum was fairly easy I'd say.

[Anonymous No.8357527]

>>8357510
DSDA-Doom is another source port. The name comes from Doom Speed Demos Archive. IIRC one of the maintainers of the archive or something started it.

You could just replace PrBoom+ with it since it's a fork of PrBoom+. It adds a few new features, like the ability to rewind while playing, or the ability to play several demos at once, the ghosts feature https://youtu.be/ip8ZVri9XVQ

Cool, thank you. So it's a source port, not a launcher. Think I was confused by the imagine in >>8357435 which shows the Doom Launcher.

absolutely nothing wrong with it. all the tougher wads require very fine-grained understanding of the game mechanics, e.g., exact arch vile timing, infighting behavior, rev rocket behavior, etc. This is concrete stuff that takes a long time to internalize. And that's just the beginning...

Classic doom has a lot of depth and beautiful and varied mapping now, you're really in for a treat.

BTW those wads that another anon suggested earlier (fractured worlds and fcff) are really difficult. Consider valiant as another wad near to eviternity in difficulty. There's a big jump from there to, say, fractured worlds, sunlust, stardates, etc.

I will be immensely disappointed in you, and whenever I get the chance I will find a way to nag at you to make sure you're a better person in the future.

I was just thinking how the fuck these guys were able to see their enemies in battle if you can't even see their eyes. Like wtf

Helmets provide better visibility than you might think. Though hiding their eyes helps with intimidation.
I can speak from personal experience, both as someone who wears a steel helmet and frequently squares up with other helmet clad fighters. They see me just fine.

I can't speak from experience on those, but if memory serves right the helmet on the right is designed with jousting in mind, you can see here in pic related the guy can see just fine.
Barbutes are a personal favorite helmet style. Like the ones Iron Knuckles wear in Zelda II? Love that shit.

You mean left, correct? The one on the right has a bill that I imagine would slot the jousting pole right into your eyes if hit in the head.

You can play Sunder on Skill 1. Sunder doesn't have difficulty settings implemented so skill 1 does not change the monster count. Skill 1 gives you a -50% incoming damage buff, and a 2x-ammo-pickup buff
