While I'm at fixing and improving certain things, I could use some recommendations to improve the wad.

Powerslave is just a me-too Doom clone at heart, but it feels like the devs really tried. It's definitely a fun me-too Doom clone with heart, I like it's illusion of open ended-ness with going back to older levels with artifacts in hand.

And damn, why does Egypt make such a good setting for retro FPS?

>>3146470
>And damn, why does Egypt make such a good setting for retro FPS?
Because it's a good AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>3146418
yeah realised this after I posted it, got it working anyway.

Also can any anons tell me which is the best sourceport for quake? I grabbed quakespasm since it was recommended by a guide on getting the music working but I've heard good things about others like darkplaces.

>>3146474
Quakespasm is the best one that tries to be Quake and nothing else. Basically a tuned up and bugfixed version of the original OpenGL EXE for Quake.

Darkplaces is good if you want lots of shiny lighting and textures and shit like that which I personally hate.

>>3146474
Quakespasm is generally your go-to port if you want a close to vanilla experience that supports modern resolutions without the various bugs the official non-DOS ports have (like messing with the lighting system and accidentally disabling fullbright textures). Darkplaces has a bunch of customization options and is mostly meant for fancy-schmancy "HD update packs" and so on that end up just looking about as good as an HD Minecraft pack which is to say not at all.

Darkplaces has better mouse control IMO (feels closer to GoldSrc than Quake) but has a number of graphics hitches of its own and doesn't play nice at all with lots of user made maps and mods (which are often developed with Quakespasm or Fitzquake in mind).

>>3146479
>>3146480
Cheers lads looks like I'll stick with quakespasm then

>>3146462
i can't imagine how such a conversation would come about, but you can just say "original doom". or "doom 2" because let's face it most of the time we are playing wads that use doom2 for iwad.

Quakespasm's standard exe has mouse acceleration, but its SDL2 exe uses raw mouse input.

Chain gunners have more HP than Imps.

Thematically, do you think this makes sense? They are after all, just zombie humans.

They're big guys, and they might be wearing body armor.

>>3146550
They have body armor, that's why. Imps are nude.

14KB, 304x266px

>>3146546
So that's what the difference is! I always felt like the standard exe had some weird shit going on- no measurable acceleration (possibly due to having mouse accel completely disabled in my registry to get rid of it in old games like UT99), but lots of weird little snapping and skipping that was common enough to piss me off until I tried the -sdl2 exe and most all of it disappeared.

>>3146552

So the pop gun guys are just wearing shirts. The shot gunners are wearing body armor. The chain gunners are wearing body armor. Is that how it works?

Interpreting old sprites is fascinating.

What I see:

>t-shirt

>>3146550
It's because they're black.

>>3146554
Well the chaingunners are more muscle-bound with thicker armor. Shotgunners and Gunners only have light chest armor and Imps, even though they wear nothing, probably just have tough skin.

>>3146550
they have red armor

red armor is always more durable

cool boom-compat map with a fresh colour palette

That Cybershade game seems pretty cool. I like games that give me a machinegun with a high ammo capacity right off the bat. I also like the faster enemies and their less predictable behavior than standard Doom enemies too. What I dislike is how everything is so bright that enemies and their projectiles are very hard to make out amidst all the chaos.

>>3146523

I can already think of some things to take from that:

>stronger melee attacks
>enemies always gib in some exaggerated spectacular fashion when killed with a melee, no finisher animations that stop you though that's dumb
>grenades and other sub items to use, cooldown based
>double jumping and climbing ledges
>wild alt fires
>jetpack revenants

Psychic energies that protect their frail bodies. They're basically necromancers after all.

I have a very serious question for you /doom/. Was Doom a watershed moment for the video game industry? Near the end of the Devs Play interview with John Romero he mentioned how someone told him that when Doom came out it was the worst time to be a game developer in the history of the medium, because it was a mind-blowing experience that no other developer could match at the time. People would look at Doom, then look at the shitty game they were currently working on and realize, "what the fuck am I doing?"

When I hear Romero explain that, it brought to mind something I heard in a Grant Morrison interview, how Allan Moore's Watchmen really shook up the professionals in the industry. He described how it was a scary time for writers of comics because they thought that the readers would be done with superhero characters and no one would care anymore. They really questioned if this was the death of the medium.

I can't ignore the similarities. I think Doom was a watershed moment because it was a totally mind-blowing first experience. It is the reason why I say it is objectively still the greatest video game of all time and I refuse to hear any arguments to the contrary.

FPSs were called "Doom clones" for years. It really was a huge step up over previous FPSs.

>>3146623
Doom was THE PC game during 1994. A lot of devs basically just tried to make clones of it to snatch up some quick bucks by saying "Hey this game we're making is like Doom you like Doom right kids?!" It was crazy.

Found out there's an invincibility sphere near the beginning. Found that, and it was easy from there.

See, Doom is NOT primarily a combat game. It's a maze and puzzle game. You have to solve the riddle of the maps to win. If you are dying at a spot, you are doing something wrong and likely missing something.

Can someone post a Chocolate Doom config that uses a joystick? It looks like I can get a gamepad to work with Cybershade but it's not in the menu.

I'll need this because if it isn't in fullscreen the mouse isn't locked and I can't recommend it to streamers like that.

How do I make GZdoom not look like shit?

>>3146702
brightmaps.pk3 and lights.pk3 come with the GZDoom zip.

>>3146695
Standard sector lighting is fine too imho
Texture filtering can be set to none (linear mipmap) to avoid visual artifacts on walls/ceilings at high angles and anything at a distance in high resolution without smudging sprites

Is Quakespasm a vanilla experience then?

>>3146741
yes

Doom was one of only a handful of games to legitimately change the trajectory of the video game industry. The list includes:

* Space Invaders
* Super Mario Brothers
* Street Fighter 2
* Doom
* GTA3
* WOW
* COD4
* DOTA
* Farmville
* Minecraft

>>3146750
The game will still run just fine. If you absolutely nmust have the intro demo playing behind the menu, then add -fitz to the command line on launch.

>>3146761
You forgot HL1 which largely influenced (more than GoldenEye) initial push for Scripted Cutscene based FPS

>>3146557
>>3146557
How does it look like a t-shirt to you, they wear the same armor as Doomguy

>>3146616
Yeah, fuck the cooldown, that's gay.
Having hand grenades that you can use with a quickbutton would be supremely useful though, especially if they behave like real ones, doing their main damage by throwing shrapnel in the general area.

I always felt the grenades in wwhc-diaz.wad had very good damage behavior.

>>3146771
I purposely did not include HL1. Before HL1, FPSes were a big deal. After HL1, FPSes were still a big deal, they just played a little differently.

>>3146615
they have 800 health and i guess you were shooting from a long way away? also they have shields, not so much as >>3146620 suggests, but in a literal sense the things the resurrect act as meat shields. use a multi-target weapon, i.e. rockets or bfg.

Here it is with a wooden plate instead of metal. I don't think I'll have the jaws open much when it fires to avoid it looking like chattering teeth. The rate of fire isn't that high, but it might look weird. We'll see. Might need to add in another frame or two maybe. Was hoping to avoid that.

>>3146803
Honestly I'm not too fond of that gun compared to the rest of the weapons you've made. It has a comical TF2 "ye olde steampunk cannon" look about it. The jawbones are a cool idea and look great though, but I would have stuck them on a more interesting weapon body.

I thought it felt pretty consistent. The lower part is maybe a bit bland, but I'm not too keen on throwing detail on the bottom where it'll get cut off screen. I'll see what I can do to make it more intersting... Hoping I can get some movement in the jawbones without it looking silly.

>>3146815
Thanks.

>>3146761
I'd say add mario 64 to that list as well

>>3146825
It's not the amount of detail, it's the general "boxy gun". Something like torch or brazier with pale ghost-fire or whatever would have more of that comfy mysticism feel of the rest of your project.

P.S despite being a negative nancy here, it's still of higher quality than 95% of the gun sprites made by the community. You're utilizing the palette well.

Is there some trick to Cyber Demons? I see people on youtube just run up to them with the BGF and kill them in a few hits, or plasma. But I die whenever I try that. They never get stunned and I have to back off and dodge.

>>3146761
is it possible that Doom marked the moment when the game industry's locus of influence permanently shifted from Japan to America?

>>3146863
you have to dodge from side to side and time your pressing of the fire button.

>>3146868
lol, no. That didn't happen until the XBox.

Is there supposed to be music when playing Quake?

>>3146890
Yes. It was CD Audio tho.

>>3146890

Did you get the Steam version? They gimped that. No music.

It's ridiculous. I BOUGHT the game. Then I pirated it to get the original version WITH music.

God damn, why is ID so terrible at re-releasing their games? Always the minimum effort. Won't even depart with a few dollars to get the Trent Reznor score.

>The Harris levels - Doom and Doom II levels created by Eric Harris, one of the two perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The following levels are available to download: Deathmatching in bricks (BRICKS.WAD), Hockey.wad (HOCKEY.WAD), KILLER (KILLER.WAD), Mortal Kombat Doom (FIGHTME.WAD), Outdoors (outdoors.wad), Station (STATION.WAD), and UAC Labs (UACLABS.WAD). Dylan Klebold, a friend of Eric Harris and the other perpetrator of the massacre, was credited by Eric Harris for playtesting the Deathmatching in bricks level. The ENDOOM screen for UAC Labs shows the names of other WADs made by Eric Harris, though no files of them are known to be available to download: Assault, Techout, Thrasher, Realdeth, and Realdoom, the last of which is a patch (possibly for Realdeth).

Hey guys,

I have a problem. I can manage to get every doom source port to work perfectly...except for Glboom +.

For some reason, as soon as I start playing any wad on Glboom, using idrate shows a constant 60 fps, but the game acts like it's playing 15 fps. There's constant slowing and stuttering.

I want to use glboom more than gzdoom, but I can't with this issue. Any suggestions?

Is freedoom good enough for modding? or should I stick with the original iwads?

Quake>Doom>>>>>>>>>shit>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Doom 2

>>3147247
Why? I thought D2 was widely considered to be better than D1.

>>3147261
D2's map design sucks, but it gave us new enemies and the SSG, and became the base IWAD for countless WADs.

>>3147261
soulless sequel cashing in on the first game's popularity, only good for the mod support really

>>3147245
it has a slightly wider range of textures available by default, in particular it has recreations of all the doom1 space station textures in freedoom2.wad, but you also get that by using cc4-tex or one of the various doom1in2 texture wads that are floating around

>>3147267
>>3147279
All this time I always considered Doom to be the better game but thought it was irrational to think so, good to see that I actually wasn't alone.

Should I try sketching out ideas for doom maps or something before making them? All I've managed so far is poorly slapped together pieces of shit that I've made up as I go along.

>>3147296
"Sketch" in the editor. It's fast enough, so if you're intending on literally drawing sectors on paper then you're just planning out the map in a less efficient manner.

>>3147291
Honestly my favorite levels from Doom 2 were the reworked Tom Hall levels, which should have just been part of Doom 1.

>>3147281
I meant as a base for my mods so I can package it with my mod so people who don't have DOOM or DOOM 2 can play it.

>>3147317
oh right yeah you might get in trouble for distributing doom2.wad with a mod.

>>3147291
To me doom 1 just feels better but I can't really articulate why.

>>3147267
>>3147279
>>3147261
>>3147247
Doom 2 has about 10-11 or so very good maps, but the real strength has always been the assets for people to use.

I wouldn't call it worthless, it's just not -as good- as the original when it comes to levels.

the two games have long since blurred together for me, they're all just maps, there are a few differences like some new monster variants and the super shotgun but the game is basically the same

doom/doom2 SP and doom/doom2 DM, on the other hand, are different enough to feel like different games

>>3147327
But is freedoom good enough to be a base?

>>3147348
i don't know.

>>3147348
Some of it is good and some is pretty shit (monster sprites mainly). It's being slowly but surely improved.

Doom 1's level design is more consistent.

Doom 2's level design is up and down, some of them are great, some of them just really dull.

I think my biggest issue personally with Doom 2's level design is the amount of poorly designed verticality.

>>3147435
Especially when you're playing as a woman :)

>>3147431
I think it's because the A and M are too big, like a half or a quarter bigger than other characters. So AMMO could overlap or be too close to the numbers

>>3147442
This. Some levels just begged for the ability to aim /look up and down because the vertical difference was too much to accurately see shit. Also visible a bit in E4 which was made at the same time (or was it slightly after)

It's a new set of maps with a nice little level selection gui, so you can pick which ones you want to play in whatever order. All pistol starts unless you select otherwise. Doesn't do anything with older maps.

Looking for a fun weapon mod to use with colorful hell.

What can you recommend that plays a lot like vanilla doom? I was playing with a colonial marine weapon set, but it's a bit underpowered and seems unfinished. I'd do DRL Arsenal, but it has too many RPG elements for what I am looking for. I wish I could just use the weapon set from Brutality, but that'd fuck the monsters up.

Been long delaying putting off playing through Adventures of Square recently, and I've been extremely "meh" about it.

The maps are quite interesting when they're not featuring jumping puzzles over insta-death pits and underwater navigation, and the music is incredibly top notch as expected of Jimmy, but the enemies and weapons themselves are incredibly basic, very ordinary.
I guess it's kind of the reverse scenario people typically complain about with gameplay mods, about how there's these really fun weapons but the default maps don't play well with it. You've got these incredibly cool maps with new textures, a new setting, a new style of gameplay, and then the weapons/enemies that come with it are...pretty much stock.
You've got your not-cacodemons with the not-demons and your not-imps fighting them off with your not-chaingun and not-rocketlauncher, and it just begs the question, did this really need to be a full thing? Couldn't it just have been a ZDoom mapset? I'm not really seeing anything that could've really justified being a game over a mod.

I just decided to give her crouching sprites for my own challenge (and I'm glad I did, another anon made a russian assassin monster with my sprite, and she randomly crouches and sneaks, it looks so good).

I personally hate mapsets that use only stock weapons/monsters requiring me to use zdoom. Its too boring, and more often than not, feels like a needless limitation of port compatibility.

Even if there's a clear influence from Doom itself, I respect the Square team more for having its own art style, items and monsters. To me, it makes me more interested in playing it, than it would if it literally was just stock doom that required me to jump sometimes.

in total fairness i think it's kind of a moot point; the weaponset is reasonably overpowered in general, what with the pistol that has infinite ammo, the homing-axes, the plasma shotgun with a vortex alt-fire, the rocket launcher that can vomit like 8 missiles that don't do splash damage to the player... not to mention the rebounder.

>>3148242
I haven't played the beta, but it was pre-ordered for my birthday (get an agitating skeleton figure out of it, so either way I'm good). I'm hopeful for the singleplayer anyway. Even if it's more like Bulletstorm than Doom I'll have fun.

Harmony was, and it suffered a lot from it.
I suppose it comes with the territory of being traditionalist mappers--they get to the ZDoom engine and they're so used to doing things the old-fashioned way they don't really know how to use things beyond "we don't have to fake 3D floors!".

Something more intricate and elaborate like Project MSX could make for a good full-fledged game.

Isn't one of the advantages of zDoom the ability to use Scripts? Or does Boom have that too? I'm not too into what each port does except Boom/Choc Doom for more "purist ports" and zDoom/z& for "updated ports"

>>3148323
ZDoom is the only port with powerful scripting. Boom can do a very crude form of scripting by putting actors on scrolling floors outside the map ("conveyor belts"), putting trigger lines on the conveyor and executing them by opening and closing doors

I stumbled upon this thing while browsing the emulation thread. Baically, it is a mini-netbook with gamepad. I wager it would be quite sufficient for GZDoom, QuakeSpasm, Q2,3 and Doom 3 (and quite a few other games - look at the benchmarks of pads with similar hardware)

What is /vr/'s thoughts on the mod Doom Reborn, a doom 3 mod that remakes Doom 1 and 2, but with doom 3 gameplay/engine?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq0a5T1jUjc

I really like the idea on paper but I'm not falling in love so far (2 hours in). The textures are bland, the lighting is "off" and not as atmospheric and I don't like having to aim with the vertical axis, it slows down gameplay.

I don't mean to bash the mod, it's an impressive effort and really fun to play some of the old levels again with a twist. Just my 2 cents.

>>3148374
Doom Classic mod tried the same. It was meh.

>>3148374
From what I see it suffers from one thing: Doom 3 gameplay mechanics. If one would mod player movement and weapon behaviour to be up to Doom 2 metrics, this would actually be quite decent.

>>3148374
The maps are a 1-to-1 remake? Seems completely pointless. I think any sort of Doom remake would only be worthwhile if they remixed the maps. In this particular case, they could have taken advantage of the engine's fully 3D capability to make level designs with a good amount of verticality.

Thank you.

>>3148481
Sorry I should have specified that I meant other than Epic which i was already familiar with.

Played through Doom 1/2, Plutonia, TNT, alot of the Master Levels, played some of the alpha versions of Doom 1. Of course I also played Doom 3 and all its expansions. Doom 4 Multiplayer was fun. Also read the books...

What now before Doom 4?

>>3148486
Play Quake.

>>3148485
You heard of the megawad Osiris? That's another Egyptian themed level pack. Imagine E2 but it's Egypt instead of a moon base.

>>3148480
wait wait wait wait wait

so are you picking up power cores or heatsinks or what?

what powers the lasers, the energy from the reactor(s) powering the mech or the power cores you're picking up?

>>3148480
This looks so sick.

>>3148489
Looks cool thanks anon.

>>3148490
I'm picking up laser upgrades. You start with the SPLAS and upon picking up another laser it upgrades to the next tier.

SPLAS (small pulse laser) -> MPLAS (medium pulse laser) -> (large pulse laser) LPLAS

So, /vr/. Do what are your opinions on me? Actually I probably know the answer to that.
This is the final map in a 6 map WAD I'm working on, and I just realized should probably make the first attack less Kaizo-like.

>>3148474
lol
>>3148475
Not really, there's no HOMs, Cyberdemons or BFGs.
>>3148480
Looks pretty sexy
also how the hell do you get your webm to look great in 1080p at only 2MB but my webms look like shit at 384p at 2.4MB

>>3148498
Is it some kind of challenge thing? Doesn't look very Doom-like.

>>3148498
You think that webm looks good? I thought it looked kinda crappy.
I just used webmbro to convert the mp4 recording into a 3 mb capped webm. That's it.

>>3148504
I used the exact same program and the exact same process. How does yours look better?

>>3148037
The fact that they did their own art and assets justifies it requiring zdoom in the first place, IMO.

>>3146316
it's something little, but i'm working on a remake of a D!Zone map, which was called ARSENAL.wad

based lydia sprite set! If only we could change actor height with decorate, the crouching would have an impact on how hard she is to hit!

>>3148512
Thats awesome!

>Remaking a map that's basically just a couple of hallways and rooms with nothing in them by putting detail on the walls and adding things to the rooms

A fine start I guess. Easy map to make slightly better.

>>3148486
The Memento Moris, Icarus, Requiem, and Eternal Doom all have some sort of relation to official releases

Dario and Milo Casali of TNT/Plutonia, and Tom Mustaine of TNT were involved in The Memento Moris.
A good chunk of the people involved in TNT also worked on Icarus.
Jim Flynn, and Sverre Kvernmo from Master Levels were involved in Eternal Doom
Dario Casali has one map in Requiem.

>>3148440
neat, looks like she's falling into some kind of super quicksand

>>3148582
yeah i decided to start with the easier one since i have been doing mapping rarely, so i'm not the best mapper in terms of complex maps.

>>3148512
fug that's cool

>>3148512
the map looks familiar, but i can't name it, please remind me

>>3148598

I was working on one, but now that anon is making that battletech mod I'm considering stopping.

If you made the hallway leading to Romero's Head in the Icon of Sin much longer, you could have it so that the Icon can only be killed at a highly elevated platform. Right now you can kill it easily with free aiming. Why hasn't anyone done this?

Whoa what, how? Or is that just webm buffering :(

>>3148661
oh god it looks so stupid with those

>>3148648
What the hell with AR stretching on all of this guy's videos? Is Youtube responsible for this or is he just retard?

I remember there being a mod, kinda akin to Combined Arms, but with different switchable ammo types for most weapons (Not Space Pirate)
What is that mod?

>>3146316
talking about Hexen mods, here's one i've found.
search for sampamojcan (since i can't post the blogspot link because it says it's spam)

it looks pretty interesting to me.

>>3148661
>MOOOOOOOOM, Doomguy oneshotted me with the BFG again!

>>3148751
How do I pull of Mastermind/Cybie BFG oneshots, anyway? I watched a UV-Max run of some of the later Sunlust levels and the guy playing was doing it all the time.

>>3148782
in vanilla it is impossible to oneshot a cyberdemon and highly luck-dependent to oneshot a spider (thing must positioned exactly right related to the blockmap in order to absorb enough damage)

that said the method is simple but hard to describe, you run in, press fire at the right time so that the ball detonates when you are half a second away from the target, and the spray is released when you are right next to it

>>3148782
cyber demons can't really be one another with the bfg, but they can be twoshotted if you want to hug the asshole

spider mastermind oneshots just involve hugging the bastard and unleashing your green load straight into its succulent brain guts

>>3148794
cyberdemons* oneshotted*

autocorrect is hell

Building an arena/colosseum. How many tiers of seats should there be?

The idea is that you enter once you get all 3 keys (three sets of gates preventing you from going in). Once in, you start a big scripted fight. That fight being, all the "seats" are filled with various monsters and they randomly tp in at certain intervals. Once you've cleared all the monsters, you win. (This is secret level for my 16 level "miniwad".)

Arena itself won't be blank (there will be cover), and candelabras are to give you an idea of current size. The actual arena part fits in an 896*1920 square. And you won't be able to interact with the crowd until they TP in (block all linedefs)

Also, as for how "filled" the seats will be, that will vary with difficulty level, with UV having the place filled to the brim and with tougher monsters, and ITYTD it will be more sparsely populated and with less tough mobs.

>>3148940
IDK if I want this. I think 35 fps is fine.

Albeit GZDoom gives me about 1600+...

>>3148942
I think you should add one more level to even it out.

>>3148942
Probaby build a double-height wall for the first stage and then 3 or four rows of 'seats' around for the most part, but be sure to have an enclave for the top boss of the arena to wait in.

They are garbage. They stop being DooM about near the end of the first book.

>>3149032
Don't the Doom novels turn into religious propaganda halfway through?

>>3146550
>>3146552
I would imagine that imps have a thicker hide than human skin. And while all the zombies have different health, this may be attributed to the fact they have different armor points, that is to say they have the same armor as Doomguy.

But either way, if the Chaingunner is historically a marine assigned to a different Unit, they may just have been assigned more compact armor. But growing up I always just logically assumed they had more health than the imp because they looked bigger.

>>3146680
I have always intuitively thought this, combat is brain-dead easy. The challenge is in navigating the map and not running into obstacles; almost as if there is also a Racing element as well.

You will never fuck up hitting an enemy or dodging projectiles, but you will run into a prop or a spectre or piece of wall you didn't "see", or you will unwittingly expose yourself in a manner that could have been avoided had you better navigated the map -- notwithstanding any combat mechanic.

Of course you are primarily talking about the "puzzle" aspect: in finding the power-ups. This to me isn't as important as there isn't really a logic to the puzzles outside of understanding 90s style map design and traditionally oblique secret placement.

>>3148782
Be moderately close to a cyberdemon, time his rockets, the same time he fires his second rocket fire the BFG. Time it so that as you are dodging the third, you have ended up with your nose in his crotch centered and facing him. By this time the bfg will go off and you know the second time you do this you will kill him if he flys back due to the sheer amount of damage he took.

It's pretty easy to figure out if you're meant to jump or crouch on a map. But what about straferunning? It's a vanilla-compatible trick, but from what I've heard its benefits weren't discovered until around a year after release. So that rules out most 94 wads, but there's still no way to know for sure when/if later authors knew of it when designing their maps. How do you decide?
