It's very close to being actual hell. Immersive! My only salvation is IDMUS14.
>>8225249
Honestly? Yeah.

God damn it. I just can't like Doom. I respect it, but I don't love it.
>just don't play it duh
But I want to! But I don't like it... Infuriating.

>>7765740
This one?

>>6983851
Sweet I haven't played AD yet so it's gonna be even better when I finally do

>mfw I reach map32 in 2048 /vr/

What "complevel" does Crispy Doom default to? Does it automatically apply -gameversion Doom 1.9 (-complevel 2 in PRB+) to WADs using Doom 2 as the IWAD? Does it switch to UltimateDoom/FinalDoom compat (-complevel 3 and 4 respectively in PRB+) accordingly depending on the IWAD? Or does it have some sort of generic compat setting when you don't specify -gameversion ?

Ideas for the next video:
>Why you should play Hideous Destructor
The dude at Gaming Pastime already did a pretty good video on HD though, but it could always get some more love.

>A Thief video
I really want to do this sooner rather than later, but It's going to take a while since Thief FMs tend to be on the lengthy side.

>Pistol starts and you: A Doom PSA
A short, simple video encouraging people to try it sometime. Obligatory IDCLEVER mention.

>Dooming on a toaster: getting better performance out of GZDoom
I should do a bit of research on that, since I'm a toaster user myself.

Should consider:
-HL I actually said I was going to do it but it kinda fell by the wayside
-Build games
-Marathon? there was a big patch coming for aleph one I believe
-Maybe updating the original video or doing a followup at some point, with support for more languages.
]Non /doom/:
SaGa
A primer for traditional Roguelikes
Morrowind? lots of videos on that too, in particular note morrowind essentials guide by helswake, pretty great if a bit outdated

In any case, if you can think of a topic that deserves some love I'm all ears.

>>5721337
Am I missing any essential Vanilla+ kino mods, anons?

>Lights & Brightmaps (Brightmaps Plus if D2 Sprite Fix is also loaded)
>Fancyworld
>Sprite Shadow
>DoomSFX
>Caulk PC
>Footsteps
>Health Warning
>D2 Sprite Fix (if WAD does not have custom sprites)
>Improved Perk's Weapon Animations - basically Smooth Doom but just for weapons for max WAD compatibility (https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=32628))
>Vanilla Essence
>Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=63863#p1093946))
>Damage Direction Overlay
>DamNums
>TargetSpy
>IDCLEVer
>Droplets

If I were savescumming I'd also use Autoautosave - alas, I'm not

Friendly reminder that the Emperor Grieferus SC-55 soundfont is fucking amazing and you all should have it if you like MIDIs at all.

Hello /doom/. How would you rank the following WADs, difficulty wise - from hardest to easiest? Assuming vanilla DOOM gameplay on Ultraviolence.

You can use a numerical rating if you think there's a sufficient powergap between the overall difficulties of two consecutive WADs in your list. If you have any experience pistol starting them, you should mention that too (if it made a big difference in the difficulty or not, for example). You can also comment on why the WADs were difficult, if they were (abundance of enemies, challenging encounters, etc?)

>Alien Vendetta
>Ancient Aliens
>BTSX E1&E2
>Dead Air
>Deus Vult 2
>Doom 2: Hell on Earth
>Eviternity
>Goin Down
>Hell Revealed 2
>Jenesis
>Lunatic
>Magnolia
>Neogothic Movement
>No Rest for the Living
>Plutonia (IWAD)
>Plutonia RCP
>Plutonia 2
>Scythe 1
>Scythe 2
>SIGIL
>Speed of Doom
>Sunder
>Sunlust
>The Ultimate Doom
>TNT (IWAD)
>TNT Revilution
>Valiant
>Vanguard

If you haven't played any of these, you may skip mentioning them in your list

Thank you for your time and happy Dooming.

Thank you, added these.

Any more? I'm planning to upload this big ol' collection to one of the MEGAs. It includes the txt's for all WADs that had them, so they should include proper credit

So whats your favorite soundfont?
I'm liking the fatboy one some anon linked in a past thread

>>5487540
>>5487647
Thanks a lot for the help. I had no clue ZDL even existed, and I'm glad it does. It reminds me of the Doom 95 GUI, which I always liked. This

It looks like I was typing in the commands at the prompt slightly wrong.
>>5487559
Spear of Destiny is possibly my favorite FPS. Doom has more depth to it and way better map design, but there's something satisfying about the way Wolfenstein's weapons and combat feel. Even a piddly little guard sneaking up on you can kill you dead in a way that adds tension to the gameplay, but at the same time the enemies feel squishy and reactive in a pleasant way. I also like the arcade-style lives system.

>>4033321
There's a .wad called Threshold of Pain apparently and it's a fuckin kickass 12-map PSX wad with a parody of Club Doom and a remake of Doom 64's Hectic

>>3482675
You and me both buddy

>>2840356
Sekaiju. It's quite easy to get into; it's not hard to learn alone or by a guide, and you can easily load other midis and see the different channels.

Anyway, I wouldn't make good music even if my life depended on it. Any composer here has any advice?

Still I'd want to hear some other wads with good music.

Pretty good map, I liked the secret right behind the start, but it's a little too obvious. Those two shotgun dudes flanking the first door actually killed me. Don't rush blindly into rooms! All in all, it's a really nice looking map. Can't wai to see more from you!

where do you think we are?
