a big-ass news post is more noticeable than a paste in link in an OP no one reads after the first time because it's been nearly the same for the past two years

Like I said, I really don't see what the difference is.
The justifications in >>3190486 I was given I find really shaky at best.

But, again, you do you.

>>3190457
Best soundfont for doom and other games with midi music? Recently started playing again and noticed how washed out and old the music sounded so long story short I discovered arachno soundfont. Is there a better soundfont or any made specifically for doom?

Your pastebin links to posts and those links don't work because >>this doesn't work outside of 4chan.

It's also not simply there in the thread, which isn't hard to do. You're spending more time trying to justify your bad decision than you would have spent making another post in the thread.

It really just sounds a lot like it was your chance to be OP and so you jumped on it without doing it right.

>>3190524
How were you playing it? Doom 64EX or Emulator?

>>3190517
I prefer lightweight soundfonts, the ones I keep around are 8MBGMSFX.SF2 and TIMGM6MB.SF2. The latter comes with PrBoom+ but I prefer using the former.

I've been playing classic doom for two years now, I still suck

op can you put on a trip so i can filter you next time

>>3190516
it's an extra link to click (or copy into the url bar), more shit to load (important for slow connections), and now you have to go through warosu if you actually want to follow the post links, which adds even more indirection

that, plus most people don't read the OP because it basically never changes, plus a news link that doesn't stand out at all, and of course people are going to be confused and annoyed

it's not a huge thing, but it's just so much nicer when the news is in the thread, with working post links, rather than shoved into some paste in that hardly anyone will notice without being pointed to it

I still remember when no one could figure out where the IRC password was even though it's the first damn link in the OP; this stuff matters

>>3190535
>You

You keep using that word.

RECOMMEND ME A FUN WAD TO PLAY WITH SAMSARA AND CHEX WARRIOR

>>3190518
Yeah, I'm. >>3190517. Enjoying the game with the arachno soundfont and it feels pretty fresh. I happen to have the console doom wad so gonna play it after I finish Knee Deep in the Dead. Is the console music wad in midi or pre-recorded?

>>3190535
Doom 64 EX. Game looks good but I just find it boring.

Doom 64 is dope. Long levels and slower gameplay but it's great.

I'm a sucker for Doom 1 wads so I tried this. Got through the first map, but barely. Didn't manage to get the rocket launcher or kill the three barons either. Health and ammo are very sparse and all the lost souls are annoying as hell. It's one of those maps where you are given plenty of places to go to at the start but most lead to inevitable death so you have to die a couple of times before you can play the map properly. Not a fan of this kind of map design.

>>3190579
I saw a webm of one of the later levels, where youre running around in a cage maze, dodging baron fireballs, looked fun.
The first level kinda forces you to rely on the berserk near the "lol 30 imps" trap, but the lost souls and spectres trip you up fast. On paper I like this sort of map, so hopefully it'll click later

Stuff took me forever to do and it's due next Wednesday

>>3190664
>Oh fuck, how the hell do I recover HDD shit?
Use one of the ten billion file recovery software on the internet

If one fails, move on to the next, but they do kinda work on the smae principle

>>3190518
Yeah, I did. I tried some new map I made and found all these errors. Unpegged walls in doors, random sectors at max brightness in the middle of darkness, wrong/unaligned textures. So I fix that all, play through it again and see if I can find more errors/balance issues.

It's fun

>>3190518
Yeah I played it testing out my new cattle prod and electric death animation. It worked pretty damn well. the death animation is funny as fuck.

Here's a cheeky video of the prod in action:

The pinkies dont get a special death sequence because they're tough, but the zombiemen do (I kill one at about the 45 second mark)

You can fool around with the mars map here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3ddrzg82v2tk00d/Mars_one_27.wad

You're not supposed to start with the cattle prod, (you can find it later on...) but I currently have it in the starting weapons just for testing, so its there.

If I can find the rest of the frames for pic related I'd love to use it as a HUD face for this

>>3190757
Liking the Silent Hill ambience. That cattle prod death is pretty funny, but feels kinda out of place in this more spooky setting?

>>3190768
yeah I agree. You dont pick it up till much later (its used with altfire on any weapon btw) so hopefully the ambiance has soaked in by then and the player is just happy to have something to keep imps at bay.

I'll definitely limit the Death.Elec state to just the human enemies. It might be possible to make it more brutal as well, perhaps having their corpses charred and smoking afterwards...

The prod also makes twin scorch marks when it hits a wall!

i want to be the bad guys in doom
it would be a really hard game

>>3190791
Just shortening the death cycle would probably be enough. The charred state sounds like a good idea too.

What are you guys thoughts on Thief?

I've started playing it recently, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Really love that he levels are designed with exploration in mind.

Thief 1's pretty neat, Thief 2 is really good, Thief 3 is sort of okay, Thief 4 is fucking awful.
That's really all that can be said.

Don't play 2.

File: chests.png (2KB, 231x72px) Image search: [Google]

2KB, 231x72px

Okay so, chests for GMOTA

Once I get these in, the red one will replace the plasma gun, the blue one will replace the rocket launcher, and the black and whitish cyan one will replace the SSG.

You'll swat them open and it'll give you a subweapon (Blue), a subshot (red), or both at the same time (white-cyan), and then close, letting players open them again. This'll solve subweapon drought for co-op, provide a little less randomization with item placement, and make sure the player can get what they want if they go looking a little.

The kicker is you can't get POW from the subweapons dropped from these chests, no golden boners, and no hammers.

Sound reasonable to you guys?

>>3190814
>Thief 4 is fucking awful.

Yeah, I actually did play a tiny bit of that a few years ago. Felt like the prime example of a developer being under the "cinematic experience" delusion. Felt too hand-holdy, too, with the level design being too restricted on how to proceed.

While Dishonored kinda suffered from giving the player too many powerful tools (and therefore, making the game easy), at least that game had the level design to allow for exploration and creativity.

right so you can bang the chests over and over until you get the subweapon you want?

will you still be able to find random subweapons elsewhere?

I've been fucking around with this.

Player starts as an imp, in a usual imp starting position.

meanwhile a rogue marine is killing everything in sight, and he's headed your way (as soon as I can get patrol points working well)

Also I'm not having much luck swapping the players sounds for the imp. The tearing attack and fireball are fine, but I want the player to make imp sounds when he unfs a wall etc.

I'll probably throw a stream up next time I'm about to spend a decent amount of time on editing, then, after I've tested the viability of streaming on my third-world-tier internet.

>>3191006
It's just Doom Builder 2 with extra features, so any DB2 tutorial will work.

>>3191013
it's funny how actual third world internet is much better than third world tier internet. like you go to former soviet countries, and there's no proper roads and the buses run once every two hours, but you can get 200Mbit broadband down and up for the equivalent of €3/month

>>3191008
I'm surprised how easy it actually seems to make levels for Doom. Hell, it's probably the reason why so many people make Doom levels still today. How exciting.

>>3191007
Huh, was literally thinking about similar idea this morning.

"What if a doom mod where you play as an imp? No wait, that's a stupid idea. Cyberdemon. You play as a cyberdemon. Slaughtering the dumb marine fucking shits by the hundreds. YEAH... Wish I could code."

>>3191031
>"YEAH... Wish I could code."
Decorate isn't even real coding. You just write a bunch of lines like
CLAW A 1 A_FireCusomMissile("ImpBall")
Where the first 5 letters is the sprite's name, followed by the frame count and whatever action you want to perform. It's incredibly easy unless you want to do complex circumstantial actions or transfer of data between actors.

This might seem like an odd question but is there anywhere I can find the MIDIs for the Blood Alpha? They are really awesome and I want to feature them in levels.

>>3191012
Oh, sounds alright to me.
Not the same person that tried to get Eric Harris in Freedoom, right?

I have fairly little experience in modding and 0 in doom modding. Making maps in hammer and some small scale stalker mods about sums it up.

How would you go about literally turning the player into a cyberdemon, complete with viewpoint being cyberdemon height and inability to move when firing a rocket volley? Just for general education sort of purpusoses

>>3191043

There's an elemental problem with that idea, which is that a player that big (whether it's possible to make or not) can't access like 85% of the vanilla maps at the least.

>>3191043
You'd need to take a look at the PlayerPawn definintion. It has what you'd need, even viewheight.

>>3191043
>How would you go about literally turning the player into a cyberdemon, complete with viewpoint being cyberdemon height and inability to move when firing a rocket volley?

Make a plaintext file called "decorate". In it, put this:

Actor CyberPlayer : doomplayer
{
Radius 40
Height 110
Mass 1000
(other properties)
states
{
(copy the doomplayers states with the cyberdemons sprite names here)
}
}

and then make a separate text filled called "mapinfo", containing this:

GameInfo
{
PlayerClasses = "Cyberplayer"
}

then just zip both files up and drag into gzdoom. You'd have to replace your weapons with cyberdemon weapons, for which you'd need one of the many Decorate custom weapons guides.

I wish Heretic got more attention
Hell, I wish there were more fantasy FPS games.

I'm talking about oldschool FPS, not with modern consolised junk with crammed in RPG upgrade systems and canned animations up the wazoo.

Seriously there's so much to work with in a fantasy setting yet no one's really bothered with it.

>>3191069

How do you make those "custom difficulties"/any links to guides (perhaps ones you used)

>>3191083
I think the problem is that wizards/magic very much lends itself to a "leveling system", as magic's power is seen as inherent to user, not an item, even staves and such merely being amplifiers, not "flat powerlevels"

>>3191090
Yeah I get that, but still, I want a game where I'm a wizard running around at ludicrous speed, throwing all sorts of fireballs and lightning bolts at hordes of demons. Like Doom but with magic.

I really don't like how every game needs some sort of upgrade mechanic nowadays, because most of the time it's just menial shit like "+5% damage to all enemies". I miss the old days of Duke and Doom where they didn't gimp you for no reason.

>>3191083

>>3191095
they do it so people keep playing, there's terrible progression systems in every game now. maybe everyone forgot the reward for playing the game should be the game

>>3191097
TES isn't an FPS.
I'm talking about a game where all you do is shoot enemies and navigate a map.

I did play Hexen, it had a little too much backtracking and puzzles for my taste. And the characters only having 3 weapons for most of the game didn't really help much.

>>3191101
This too.
Aside from Outlaws and Call of Juarez, I don't there are that many of 'em. Funnily enough, I loved Call of Juarez Gunslinger, despite it having a lot of shit from modern games I usually dislike.

>>3191104

Starbase maps are pure fucking cancer they sucked cock in D2 they suck cock in every wad who wants to play this boring, brown shit? Also city is underrated theme and we need more open maps in general.

>>3191117
how do you define "starbase"?

I'm genuinely interested

>>3191119
The levels with the techbase textures I guess? I dunno, I like those textures.

>>3191119
Meant to say fucking starport. Like the first maps from D2.

>>3191107
You're asking for something very specific that kind of undermines the fantasy aspect. Might as well play Ziggurat.

I was going to suggest you try Wheel of Time, but it's probably not run & gun enough.

When I was a kid and knew only few words in english I always thought it would be cool to have maps set in a city instead of just having it as a texture only years later I realised the maps with fucked up city in the background WERE the city maps holy fuck ID is retarded they looked as much as a city as the E1M1.

>>3191129
I wanted to like Ziggurath, but the artstyle is really forgettable and the level design is practically nonexistent.

I just want another simple Heretic game. Why is that too much to ask for? They don't have to spend millions on voice acting and canned animations and RPG upgrades and codex entries and multiplayer. Just make some good levels and cool magic weapons and preferably cool enemies and I'm fucking sold

>>3191149
The cure is to keep playing Doom and stop being so melodramatic about everything.

>>3191149
The multiplayer is DoA, but I'm not completely brought down by the single player campaign yet. It looks like it'll be good for a playthrough at least, even if it's a much more "close player in an arena and kill monsters till the doors open again" kind of gameplay compared to normal free flowing Doom.

>>3191164

Is there any more useless enemy than Pain Elemental? Enemies who spawn enemies are boring and Lost Souls exist pretty much solely to waste players ammo.

>>3191201

>>3191204
Solution
Get a mod that replaces all Pain Elementals with Cacodemons, and sets Lost Soul health so they do to a shotgun blast instead of SSG blast.

>>3191208
or make lost souls sentient projectiles
so when they charge, they become large, shootable homing projectiles and when they hit something they die
don't even have to get rid of the pain elemental

>>3191217
like the floating missiles in Hell Ground

>>3191204
The real issue is that lost souls are A) too large and B) too durable. The enemy-spawning enemy concept itself adds some nice strategic depth to combat, like archviles do.

>>3191083
the issue i have with heretic is that it doesn't feel wizard-y enough
like, you get new weapons and artifacts and all, but ultimately it's little more than a doom reskin

a first person wizard game should imo have more to it than a classic FPS

i'm talking about level ups and spell making
grab runes instead of weapons (most of the time), combine runes to make spells, kill things with spells!
sure, sometimes you should also find scrolls and wands/rods that you can use to cast spells, but they should feel pretty limited (they're consumables in d&d after all)

also, duels against boss-tier enemy spellcasters

>>3191261
we talking magicka-style runes or what

are we arse mines now

>>3191261
Sounds pretty much like Lichdom. I liked it a lot, but the game is too damn short.

>>3191269
i was more thinking about dungeon master (maybe with a way to prepare a few spells between levels)
but that looks similar enough

>>3191261
There's already a few games out there with magic crafting and stuff, that's why I'm looking for an oldschool FPS with magic.

My ideal case would be like 6 or 7 spells with alternate fire mods, item pickups like the Build Engine games, and maybe powerups like Quake.

I've been thinking of ideas for a game like this in my free time, on the off chance I ever have a chance to make it

>>3191287
What about Ziggurat? Pretty fun fantasy arena shooter.

>>3191301
Didn't like the overall art style and wasn't a fan of the roguelike map design.

Maybe a little more Spawn and less Shadow.

I can't seem to get monster placement right, the map is open so it always ends up with all of them seeing you. Maybe I should stick to hallway-room-hallway stuff.

>>3191348
Add some simple walls here and there without creating hallways, maybe some box shapes, some hills, a canyon, false walls, etc.

>>3191348

Who would win in a fight between Doom guy and Sarge? No power ups only guns.

>>3191358

>>3191358
Doomguy. Sarge is the Tier 1 Arena Lord, Doomguy is a Tier 6 Arena Gladiator.

>>3191361
I think Doomguy would since it's one of his favoured weapons, the other two being the railgun and rocket launcher.

Sarge is a shotgun, rocket launcher, and plasma gun kind of guy.

Guys, remind me, what was the name of map that allows you to view every monster and item in the game?

Have you noticed that despite the fact that Doom takes place in the future Shotgun and SSG look outdated as shit? And chaingun is retarded what's the point of chaingun that uses 9mm ammo? Gameplay wise chaingun sucks too the only reason to ever use it is because you somehow managed to run out of shotgun ammo and rockets at the same time.

>>3191367
Try not using the chaingun when a map locks you in a room and throws a dozen shotgunguys and chaingunners at you

>>3191367
Painlocks, sniping, quickly dealing with low heath enemies.

Here's the mod that lets you play as an imp.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/b80b8pt2d7jczzq/Peace_1.wad
runs with the doom2.wad

I've only done the first map of doom2 so far, but I suppose it wouldn't be hard to do a few more. Just choose a random imp starting position, and script a doomguy to run around killing.

Primary fire is melee attack, altfire is fireball. For some reason can't open doors or anything yet, so just focus on trying to kill the doomguy.

I'll probably have it so that after killing doomguy a few times, you complete the level as he ragequits.

Patrol points never seem to work for me. Does Thing_hate interfere with them?

I also whipped up an imp mugshot. Having imp sounds as the player is great fun!

Also not sure about the name, I tried to think "what's the opposite of doom" and "peace" seemed to fit. The moments of peace before a crazed marine turns up and blows away everything that moves.

>>3191379

Comic is interesting, actually.
Doomguy seems to have three conflicting personalities there, fighting for dominance - first, high on berserker pack, he's about as coherent as a cokehead on PCP and bath salts, and cares only for bloodshed - let's call this one Berserker.

Then, after it wears off, his military training takes over, and the Marine emerges - he starts making plans to survive, and making regular action movie quips.

Then, we see a glimpse of his real side - let's call it The Paladin - when he falls into radioactive waste. It appears that he is concerned about environment (which is kind of shitty working in a base which seems to mostly produce tons of radioactive waste) - while he doesn't mention it, we could probably understand that he got himself a pet rabbit because he cares about nature to some degree.

Then this personality is quickly subdued by immediate needs of survival, and Marine returns - since he still needs to make military plans to survive and desentitize himself to violence with bad quips.

That is, until he finally gets his hand on BFG 9000, and Paladin makes its triumfant return.

We finally see Doomguy's true face - he is, in the end, a good person, who is willing to fight for what's right - if someone told you this guy was sent to Mars moon base for refusing to shoot at civilians, you wouldn't be surprised at all. Under all that action hero demenour, in the end he fights primarily to save the Earth. I call that personality "Paladin" since between the demons from hell, and his final words being "Amen to that" Christian symbolism here is pretty strong.

The best part about these personalities? In addition to fitting really well with whatever small we DO know about Doomguy in game's canon, they also really well exemplify what average Doom player is feeling at different times through the game - you switch between "rip and tear!" to "eat lead, demon scum!" to "oh fuck, there's better be a medkit up ahead".

>>3191536
I think it's just shitty writing.

>>3191536
For the record, I'm not saying it's particularly DEEP comic or something - it's clearly meant to be some stupid gorefest comedy fun kinda like Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead".

I just think this comic is seriously underrated in how well it adapts its source material (name one other videogame comic from this time that stays so close to source without turning into illustrated strategy guide), and I really hate the "Doom comics is everything wrong with comics in the 90s" meme.

It's just an indie comic. It's not great or amazing, but it's definitely not terrible in any way.

>>3191536
I guess you could think of it like he's actually a player in a game like how he actually is, or it could be just >>3191540. Who knows.

Man, I wish I could figure out someway to stop megawad fatigue while playing Doom. I feel like I can get up to map 20 or so then just burn out and quit. It sucks.

>but it's definitely not terrible in any way.

How do you get out of the room with the pinkies? I kill them all then I can't leave the room.

>>3191440
People can't even read that comic straight. Whole "rip-and-tear" sequence is result of him using the berserk pack. After that, he becomes more careful and even contemplates the environmental harm of toxic waste.

>>3191560
They just see the rip and tear panel and don't need to see anything else. It's the whole reason Brutal Doom exists.

>>3191551
Huh, I didn't know it was made by Marvel. Still, Marvel was peddling complete and absolute shit in the 90s - there is a reason why company went bankrupt.

I'm at map14 and so far no slaughter, can't you enjoy the non slaughter levels? you're missing out on some A+ material.

>>3191661
okay, have fun making the spite map and we'll just not play it

>>3191665

I will, actually. Thanks.

>>3191663
I'll give it another go at some point. The levels looked really, really nice. Can't imagine how long it took to make with all that extra sector detail on everything.

>>3191636
>I wonder why
Because it was coded in?

I don't think I understand the question.

>>3191670
But for what reason?

>>3191669
Forget about it looking nice, the gameplay is on point all the time. I think I'm in love.

>>3191673
Because it's cool?

It may just be an extension of FMOD. They sure don't run on OpenAL.

In the tutorial level's spawn room you hear the beeping of a monitor (monitor_02.wav) with a heartbeat-like beeping and see bones and cyborg parts suspended in tubes.

Vadrigar have the ability to bring the dead back to life, as can be seen with Bones.

You are then instructed to kill Crash.

Crash died, and was brought back as a supernatural cyborg skeleton ghost pulled from the void.

My biggest complaint is that it has a locked FOV at like 75 because the devs are convinced that it's a cheat.

>>3191639
i would like to make another one, but i was losing interest also during the creation of this one.
maybe i will do it, it's just that i do DOOM mapping like... once a year? so it's more like a trying to do a map than a hobby in which you spend time.
maybe i just need to find the right map to remake.. i will see what i can do.

We seriously need to add a "slaughtermaps for beginners" or something for the infographic, or at least the OP FAQ. HR1/2, AV, late Scythe maps, Cybersky XXXI, debatably Plutonia would be good places to start.
Not every slaughter is nuts.wad.

Seriously though, aside from my involvement in a certain project and the aftermath, I don't get why people hate me. I've mellowed significantly in the past couple years.

>Gameplay wise chaingun sucks too the only reason to ever use it is because you somehow managed to run out of shotgun ammo and rockets at the same time.

I can only imagine how many times you've struggled through an area having to dodge and hide while waiting on on your shotgun's refire rate when, you could've been dancing through it the chaingun.

Holy fuck, the game's been out for 23 years and you still haven't figured out proper weapon choice.

>aside from my involvement in a certain project and the aftermath
Make that multiple projects.

Romero said it was intentional in some IGN commentary.

>>3191709
Late Scythe maps barely even qualify as slaughter. That people legitimately get tripped up on that is depressing.

>>3191725
I know, but they're commonly bought up, and I figured it'd make a good starting point.

To get people interested I will bump my question with an image, particularly of my map.

I have only beautified this first room but I have layed out a good percentage of it and designed some more fights. It will be the first map that I actually care to complete and make of a UVMAX style quality.

Doomguy died from his previous battle with the Icon of Sin, and his body was mysteriously found a Plutonia themed temple city. Hell invaded again and this made Doomguy so mad he broke out of his sarcophagus.

Plutonia can get harsh, but it's never particularly unreasonable, it's more likely to use difficult monster placement than "LOL 20 BARONS XD" (although Go 2 It is an exception).

To me, slaughtershit is when that's all there is to the gameplay, here's a large open area, and here's 300 monsters at a time. Cleared that? Good, here's 200 revenants and several pain elementals.

I love Epic 2, but it's sometimes guilty of this, and it tarnishes my enjoyment of it.

I much more prefer quality monster placement than quantity monster placement, 8 cacos closing in from various directions at different timing, that's interesting, just letting loose 30 cacos from one place is tedious and just a chore.
Shit like that doesn't make me enjoy a level, or make me want to explore it and take in the atmosphere, it just makes me want the find the exit as fast as possible so I don't have to slog through more than I have to.

Hellbound was great (if a bit dark), but at around the 20lvl mark, large hordes of monsters would become more and more common, I REALLY reached my entertainment threshold with the mapset, and that's a shame, because I loved it until this point.

>>3191752
There's definitely a distinction between careful placement and monster spam, sometimes both at the same time.
I had a similar problem with Hellbound, but desu I really didn't care for vanilla gameplay even on the earlier maps, I skipped straight to playing it with gameplay mods.

This is pretty much done now. HMP is the same as before, HNTR is different but I'm not sure if it is actually easier and UV is both of them at the same time.

>>3191789
not bad!
a bit difficult and with a bit of enemies, but many of them are avoidable because of large spaces, so if you can escape some of them you can save some ammo.
also, i like the map design.
what engine did you used to make the map? vanilla doom or Zdoom?

God tier:
SSG, Rocket Launcher
Good tier:
BFG, Plasma Rifle
Kill yourself tier:
everything else

the reason why I put BFG and Plasma below RL is because RL ammo is way more common therefore the weapon is more reliable and you don't use plasma as soon as you get BFG because you save ammo in case some shit is gonna happen

btw did Brutal Doom fucking nerf BFG or is that me?

nope, BTURL DUM really nerfed the BFG.
first, you will get damage from it if you are too near.

second, it seems it has been de-powered, or it's the other weapons who do more damage?

third, useless loading time

>>3191814
it's in boom format but I tested only with gzdoom because I forgot about testing with prboom.
Thanks for playing!

How did you learn to make Doom maps?

>>3191863
By watching the ancient tutorials on the doombuilder website and then just doing it over and over. The first results looked shitty, but practice makes... I won't say perfect in my case, but adequate?

Also, now to post this with link.

Arch-ville 0.98 done!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cj8z70sxe3f6cqm/Archville%20revised.wad?dl=1
Built and tested in Zdoom, and I -think- it should work in any source port that supports ACS.
Jumping/crouching not required to finish level, but is needed for a few secrets.

0.98 because 1.0 will be the version that is the secret level in my bare minimum 16 level megawad. But I want to release this standalone too. In the picture you can see the doombuilder view of the old version (top) and new version (bottom). Put in spoiler in case you don't want to see the layout before you play.

I've taken some feedback on previous version and reworked basically the middle section of the map. Added a few paths, a few more secrets, fixed some textures, brightness levels and perhaps most importantly, put down a bit more ammo and health. That being said, it still feels a bit tight on some points. As always, feedback, demos, pure hate, disgust etc. always appreciated. Not quite sure how balanced the final fight is, and I imagine I'll be tweaking it some more inbetween making the other levels of the megawad and implementing difficulty levels that aren't UV.

And though I in the end was unable to make the thing a "whole" thematically, I'm still quite pleased with this map. It's a bit of a mess, but I'm accepting it because muh gimmicky secret level.

Guise, I've run into a big problem and I can't figure it out. I made a custom font for a custom status bar and for some reason, only the % symbol shows up. I've replaced all the numbers with files of the exact same format and of the exact same size and yet it just won't work. Tried renaming them and making a custom font definition and it doesn't work either. Should be the easiest thing but it REFUSES to cooperate.

Anyone play the Eric Harris Wads?

>>3191914
For vanilla or zdoom? If the latter, how exactly have you defined your font?

someone made D44M weapon sprites that aren't just screencap rips

Nothing special, about the same quality you'd get from a random D!Zone map

>>3191932

For zdoom. First I just used the same names for everything (STTNUM0, STTNUM1 etc...) in hopes it would replace it, but only the % symbol works. Then I tried copying and pasting the font definition from the zdoom wiki :

STATUSFONT
{
0 XTTNUM0
1 XTTNUM1
2 XTTNUM2
3 XTTNUM3
4 XTTNUM4
5 XTTNUM5
6 XTTNUM6
7 XTTNUM7
8 XTTNUM8
9 XTTNUM9
%XSTTPRCNT
}
(except I changed the first letter to X and did the same thing for the filenames)

So I'm playing through Golden Souls and I remembered the complaints people had about the monsters being "too beefy". So I decided "well I'll still have fun with it, just need to put something like monsterhealth 0.5 in the skilldefs".

So I went inside the mapinfo and found that monsterhealth is already modified depending on difficulty. ITYTD is 0.2x health, HNTR is 0.3x, HMP is normal, UV is 1.5x health, and Nightmare is 2x health.

Shame on him for not including that in the description, I suppose, but it makes me wonder if the UV-or-die crowd were the ones that talked about the combat dragging on.

I played E1 and got to M3 before I quit.

For some reason the game is less entertaining if played with a mouse and at 60fps.
I guess because it makes it too easy.

>>3191990
Put an extra 0 in there after the D for each of them (so every number is composed of 3 characters). Otherwise yeah that should work. Keep in mind that "ABCD" was just an example though, could just as well have been "BUTTS" or whatever

ZDoom and Chocolate Doom both work for OSX. The former is less authentic but supports the most mods and features, while the latter is nothing but authenticity.
