If anyone wants to beef up their difficulty like one anon posted about a couple threads ago, don't be afraid to give this a shot. I renamed the difficulties to Doom 64, removed Nightmare because I don't play it admittedly, and added Critical Mode and Contra Hard! difficulties.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/mp972r695l6ve5h/GZ-customDoomdifficulties.wad

I'd release this sky pack too, but I don't have anything for Episode 2 unfortunately and after a GZD update at one point, the ACS that an anon helped me with for an animated sky in Episode 4 completely broke.

>>2922719
is this updated at all compared with "[01-03] Anon mod release: Custom difficulties" ?

I'm really starting not to like Scythe.

It just feels like "throw ridiculous amounts of strong enemies at player" later on. Which seems horribly lazy and uninspired to me, so I don't get why this gets a free pass.

Has anything people made for /vr/ turn up in newstuff?

I'm in the middle of playing this

Why do I never hear about this game? It's insane, especially for 1996. Interconnected hub world system rather than individual levels, interactive NPCs, shops that sell armor/weapons/ammo, non-linear missions and optional side quests that can be done in multiple ways, stealth and RPG elements, great weapon selection, badass sci-fi/medieval hybrid theme, comfy rebel uprising plot

It's like an early Deus Ex with more action and made on the Doom engine

>>2922826
Dunno. It had a tuned-up re-release last year.

>>2922763
>What if I end up just hating E3?

Well, what was it about E2 you didn't like?

i'm not looking forward to e3 because it's going to be full of glow in the dark purple pixels and my 32bpp truecolor mode doesn't support colormaps with nonuniform fades at all

>>2922693
this looks like a good tattoo to me

>>2922836

Yeah, that's what I'm playing. Saw it on sale for like $2.50 so I bought it and gave it a go. Turned out to be a really awesome game.

>>2922826

Long time no play, but I have beat it like twice.

I remember it having a storyline and a non-linear world... But I don't remember the quests being non-linear at all - and were there even sidequests? I can't remember any.

>>2922862

The power station mission at the beginning is one example. You can go in guns blazing or you can do it without shooting anyone or tripping alarms. There's also some optional missions you can take upon yourself to do like freeing some prisoners in one of the Order bases (not the starting prison quest). Some quests you can do out of order and apparently have different endings based on how you do things.

>>2922694
does Romero's new map work in chocolate doom?

>>2922887
No, use Crispy Doom, it's Chocolate Doom with the visplane limit removed.

>>2922903
Its a shame Strawberry Doom was taken by a clown, who proceeded to squander it.

>>2922809
Yes? Why else bother having difficulty settings?

I want to add custom keys to a wad that show up in the inventory status bar.

However, with +INVENTORY.INVBAR and the custom inventory sprite chosen, the sprite will turn up in the upper left corner of the mugshot. I know I have to enter offsets for that graphic I suppose, but even then the mugshot still gets disabled. Any way around that?

>>2922930
Games throughout time typically gradually increase in difficulty as they progress. Difficulty settings don't substitute that.

>>2922962
>Games throughout time typically gradually increase in difficulty as they progress

Yeah. Within and according to the frame of the chosen difficulty setting.

>>2922973
Not necessarily. Plenty of games have difficulty spikes.

>>2922980
And? Doesn't change the fact he can't even adjust his own difficulty if he has to tell people outright to change it midgame.

>>2922981
In Scythe, there are 3 episodes seperated with deaths. He clearly intended for E1 to be easy, E2 to be medium, and E3 to be hard. Its not his problem that you don't like it.

was stuck in sunlust map 7
I couldn't get the door open and I had killed every mancubus and arachnid that I could find
there is a place behind a window I can see but couldn't gain access to
I watched a video on how to beat it and only way to complete it was through a secret?
is this level poorly designed or am I just stupid

>>2922987
It's his fault he can't make consistent difficulty curves for different difficulty settings.

>>2923000
when you kill all the arachnotrons, the pictured exit door opens. this is achieved by a complex set of voodoo doll and monster on conveyor floor trickery because without scripting you can't change the linedef action activated by arachnotron deaths on map07. it is further complicated by a desire to have the map be able to be exited even if run in -nomonsters.

if it didn't work for you i suggest you have some mods loaded that are breaking it somehow, because although apparently complex and fragile it does work perfectly well in prboom in the appropriate complevels.

>>2923037
what I mean is I think there are some monsters left I need to kill but they are in secret areas and not teleported in yet
running zandronum vanilla

I'm new here.

Are there any good map packs that compliment the Project MSX mod?

>>2923040
then i can only assume you've missed some switch or trigger somewhere.

i'm not clear on what your problem is. you can't exit, or you can't get 100% kills?

>>2923049
a few years ago people said btsx_e1 went really well with msx, not sure if that's still the case

>>2923050
well both and neither
I now know where all the secrets are because of the video but beforehand how could have I known some of the required monsters are in secret areas
it works correctly but I don't think anything required to complete a level should be hidden
some of which are really hard to find

>>2923053
may i ask where? i don't think any of the monsters required to open the exit (i.e. the arachnotrons) are in secrets.

i can confirm the map is exitable with 0% secrets (used god mode for expediency).

>>2923062
yes. killing all the mancubuses is not needed to exit the map. only to access the secret BFG (and large but optional battle with a hundred revenants).

>>2923070
god dammit alright

>>2923070
oh and I was missing the rocket launcher one

>>2923074

>>2923037
> complex set of voodoo doll and monster on conveyor floor trickery

The reason being that they want to keep these map (PR)Boom compatible?

Is that a general thing with the DOOM community?

>>2923082
>Is that a general thing with the DOOM community?
there is a subset of the community that cares about making maps that can be recorded as demos. i wouldn't call it a general thing, it's probably a majority (but not a ubiquity) on doomworld, but is nonexistent on zdoom.org or zandronum.

Randy being the elusive shut-in he is, I don't know if anything came of this.

>various hints on social media >>2919890
I've never worked with other engines, but my understanding is that basically none of their editors work anything like Doom Builder. Why would he make a Doom map instead of getting familiar with more modern editors, unless his new project would also be using Doom tools? Pure hypothesis here, but I think GLOOME/GPL-GZDoom has attracted the highest possible client. I think his new FPS is being made on the Doom engine.

>>2923283
That would be really cool, say what you will about Romero as a coder but his level design for doom was fantastic.

I'm at Scythe MAPP22 right now. Should I just bail at the Cyberdemon or try to kill anything that moves?

>>2923238
Brutal Doom:
- same old weapons with some tweaks
- gore
- flipping off button
- allied marines

Project Brutality:
- all the bits from BD
- every monster has at least 1 variant or more (zombiemen can have pistols to rarely plasma rifles, 3 types of Caco, cyber Hell Knights, Baron Centaurs, Dark Imps, BFG wielding Mastermind, Railgun Revenants, flying Arachnotrons, Acid Mancubi, Ice-Viles and so forth)
- enemies have new behaviours such as zombiemen throwing grenades, Jetpacking Revenants, Ceiling-crawling imps, Pinky can eat imps/zombiemen to regain hp
- press v to slash with machete
- about 30 weapons ranging from pistols, revolvers, smgs, carbines, miniguns, auto-shotguns, plasma-thrower, cryorifle railgun, 3 kinds of BFG and a demon-tech rifle that uses the souls of demons you've killed
- all these weapons have an alt-fire and a tertiary function which usually dual wields, changes ammo type or firing mode
- you can customize literally everything, such as which new behaviours monsters perform, which weapons are allowed and which new monsters appear (and in what order)
- rare consumable items such as medikit, sentry gun, mines, beacon that summons 3 marines, and some other stuff
- after all this its all fairly balanced with a Dynamic Progression algorithm that ensures you aren't overpowered too early and that OP monsters dont appear too early

I'm sure there's some other small bits but that's most of it. The imminent update will be adding a shitton of bugfixes, drastically better performance (as in stable 60fps on 500 monster maps), new enemies like a flamethrowing zombieman and rare jetpacking zombieman and some other goodies I don't remember.

>>2923324
>this its all fairly balanced

AHAHAHA,NO

>>2923331
Did poor baby find the new challenge too hard? Awww.

>>2923340
Exactly opposite. Besides,
bulletsponge is not balance
enemies that one-shot you is not balance
It's imposible to keep things balanced with a randomiser on maps that were not supposed to have it.

It also breaks loads of shit, including monster kill switches and some often used gimmics, including some voodo doll behaviour for some reason.

It also prompts enemies to infight more when they were'nt able to previously, this for instance breaks some scythe 1/2 maps, sometimes making them autofinish in ~30 seconds.


tl;dr It only works properly on vanilla-ish maps with no complex gimmicky scripts involved. Thing is most fun wads have such levels.

>>2923353
The infighting one can be solved by making all monsters in the same randomizer the same species.

BUT I GUESS IT DOESN'T DO THAT HUH

>Caring about balance
>in recreational entertainment

>>2923353
It's only a randomizer on specific monster spawns. PB will never swap out an Imp for a Hell Knight or a Pinky for a Mancubus. The only randomizer is whether the vanilla mancubus will become an acid mancubus, and I've even seen 2 vanilla mancubi swapped for a single Volcabus (Unmaker Mancubus). Same applies to other monster types.

I'm also still yet to see BD or PB breaking triggers on maps they should work with. If you're pairing BD or PB with something like Ultimate Torment and Torture well then you're a fucking retard. Anything that changes monsters won't work correctly with a wad that has its own dehacked patch.

Not to mention if you find it too difficult or too easy, not only can you choose between about 9 difficulties in PB, but you can customize weapon availability, monster abilities and monster variety. So any problem you may have with balance you can address yourself. So your argument is not just invalid, but also retarded.

Well, it spawns different monster variations in groups, adn those monster variations do infight, and im pretty damn sure Scythe 1/2 does not use any custom monsters, yet in several levels infighting starts right as you enter the map, and level autofinishes some time after that, because for some reason voododoll-reliant scripts get activated.

How do i get good at Duke Nukem? I find my health goes down extra quick. Not even sure what I'm doing wrong, aside from getting hit.

>>2923891
Duke Nukem, after the first episode, is a little bit shit. Especially with all those little bastards that fly at you and explode. Play Shadow Warrior instead. Or just decrease the difficulty, if you absolutely MUST play the D00k.

>>2923891
try playing blood first

>>2923891
I think you have to crouch a lot. Or am I thinking of Blood?

>>2923891

The thing about Duke 3D is contrary to the image of Duke as a guy that wades forward into battle and shrugs everything off as blaring rock plays, very little is actually...like that.
Most of the time you have to play extremely cautiously, peeking around corners and dragging enemies around one by one. Take note of the hitscanners and take care of them first.

>>2923898
Really? I thought Duke Nukem 3D was considered a classic. I played Shadow Warrior some too, and that was also tough. I feel like a dork playing on easy.

>>2923912
What would even encourage the careless "run in and fuck everything up" playstyle?

I'm thinking a damage reduction (and maybe slight regeneration/vampirism) effect that kicks in, and gets stronger, the more enemies you kill in a quick timespan. Basically, kill to live.

>What would even encourage the careless "run in and fuck everything up" playstyle?

While I don't have the answer to this question, I think that Doom actually caters to this playstyle more than Duke Nukem 3D for reasons I'm unsure of.

While often times you need to be very careful in Doom, I find myself in extremely hectic situations in which I'm forced to run around frantically and kill a ton of shit as fast as possible far more often on UV in Doom 2 than on it's equivalent difficultly in Duke Nukem 3D. It may just because I'm better at Doom, though.

>>2923942
or look at samsara in its early heydays

samsara was known and praised for being ludicrously balanced, complete with several threads digging and comparing damage numbers (i think there's even a .pdf floating around now?) and nobody able to decide on a single general tier list because everyone was so viable

addons and zandro updates kind of broke things, though

what a shame

>>2923942
Chiming on on GMOTA's balance. Or overall quality really, the creator has the rare ability to understand when "less is more" - unlike Demonsteele, which while it has a lot of really cool content there's too much overlap and needless complexity.

>>2923962

I would actually call that one of the biggest flaws of GMOTA, the constant reworking and removing and redoing.
In Demonsteele, things generally stay the same outside of additions. There aren't any massive gamechanging rehauls from version to version.

I really like both mods, though.

What does this mean?

>>2923891
You have to learn the behavior of the pig cops.

Never face off with them, give them a quick shotgun blats then duck back behind cover. It's easy once you get the hang of it because they always go prone before they shoot and then often just keep shooting for a few seconds. Just wait for them to stop.

If it was a solid hit, but not a kill...and you feel the need to conserve shotty ammo (because it's pretty much the best weapon) you can finish them off with 2 or 3 hits from the pistol. It's just my tactic...save up your shotty ammo for the parts where it's best to just spam it, like you go swimming and oh look...5 octobrains.
or the chaingunner commandos, best to finish them off quick with the shotgun.

otherwise with the grunts, you can just dodge and weave all day, eventually you'll get to where you can just kick them to death if you really want.

As the creator of GMOTA. I don't think it's very balanced. Also I hate that asshole you posted with his stupid smug cackle and the fact he throws you around.

>>2923962

I've actually been wanting to slim down GMOTA for awhile now and remove some shit to make it more cohesive. But I'm pretty sure term would bust my balls, and I'd wind up upsetting a lot of people. I understand I fucked up there, in the mod's early days I got fed up with people constantly remarking how lacking it was, so I said "fuck it" and dumped every idea I could think of onto poor Blaz.

If I could have my way without causing any fuss. I'd remove the dart mode, put the sword throw as a more streamlined mechanic, and possibly remove item crashes.

This is why I've been putting off adding kustam. I've been thinking about him a lot and writing shit down before doing anything else.

But hey. GMOTA is my first project, and it shows

>>2924057
For a first project, it's impressive. Keep that in mind. It's cool to see the creator of a popular mod being so level-headed, and thinking about the players.

>>2924063

I wouldn't say I'm level headed. I've annoyed a lot of people here with my constant indecisiveness. But yeah, I've always had you guys in mind.

>>2924057
I think the dart mode just needs it's own ammo. And then not much. It's strong, but it could be balanced by keeping ammo scarce.

maybe just remove the cluster missile too. It's just too strong.

it looks cool as fuck, but it's OP.

>>2924057
>But hey. GMOTA is my first project, and it shows
No, it really doesn't.

>If I could have my way without causing any fuss. I'd remove the dart mode, put the sword throw as a more streamlined mechanic, and possibly remove item crashes.
I haven't played it enough to really have a specific opinion on these things, but the biggest issue I have is that the gauntlet just isn't very fun or satisfying in any mode that doesn't require energy.

On another note, something I really wished GMOTA (and many other gameplay mods) had though is a comprehensive guide in a text file or whatever that explains the various modes, attack buttons and functions the player has access to.

>>2924081

That was one of the core things about GMOTA though: Ammo's not really a thing you have to worry about, it's all mana based, and said mana can be gained by attacking monsters.

and yeah I'm going to fucking tone the cluster missile back, I took a look at the POW'd up cluster missile again recently and I nearly had a fit, was I fucking drunk when I decided that was a good idea?

>>2924090
>but the biggest issue I have is that the gauntlet just isn't very fun or satisfying in any mode that doesn't require energy.

Admittedly, that's kinda the point, Blaz's strong point is his sword, the arm cannon is only meant to be an option when you can't reach things with your sword.

and yeah, whenever I finally get my shit sorted, I'm gonna include a manual of some kind.

and it does show if you take another look at it, it suffers from that "let's just dump everything in there" mentality that new and inexperienced modders suffer from

I wasn't talking about effectiveness (since the knife spray thing eats cyberdemons for breakfast) but general 'feel'. There's no reason for a weapon to be less fun than it could be.

>>2924153

Not sure what I can do there, I've been toying with the idea of tweaking the buster a little, removing the mid charge shot and making the primary, uncharged shot like a combo thing, where as you tap the fire button, you shoot like, 3 normal little shots and then finish it with a mid shot.

Tweaking the sound effects to be a bit meatier would go a long way. Like a more percussive burst like machinegun fire for darts, and the other mode's sound sped up ~50% and overlaid with a laser PEW! or something. This isn't my area of expertise, just a general feeling that the gauntlet feels kind of dry compared to the awesome and visceral standard sword's sounds and visuals. Having the recoil frame offset downward rather than up and to the right might help too.

>>2924246

I'm still not even sure if I should keep the darts, but I'll look into adding a percussive sound and fuck around with the firing sounds of the buster.

What exactly do you mean by recoil frame though? Like when Blaz's arm is raised as he starts to shoot? I did that intentionally so it doesn't look like he's got his arm outstretched the whole time.

I still remember the fan theory that the Mother Demon from Doom 64 was some sort of evolved or mutated Archvile, seeing as they both have fire-based powers and a knack for resurrecting demons (albeit Mother Demon seems to act on a broader story scale since they don't actually do it in-battle).

I've also been toying with the idea of inflicting a small speed debuff when firing the blazter, mainly to discourage using it at close range without resorting to self damage.

>>2924427
>I've also been toying with the idea of inflicting a small speed debuff when firing the blazter

I play GMOTA a lot and this sounds like a TERRIBLE idea.

You shouldn't cut speed from the player in Doom unless it is getting a payoff or you are designing a gameplay mod around a slower pace.

I also use the mid charge shot a fair amount so I'm not sure how that would pan out.
If anything, changing the standard shot into forcing a midcharge buster would make it harder to generate a full bar of red meter against some sturdy monster.

So it's not a bad idea there.

Just don't cut the speed of the player unless it's giving an advantage to do so.

>>2924440

The mid shot actually generates like, triple the mana of an uncharged buster shot though.

As for the speed penalty thing, the only reason why I've been contemplating it is due to how good the Blazter is, you could pretty much rock entire maps using nothing but the arm cannon, its subweapons, and the heavy cannon mode alone.

Blaz was never supposed to be this good at ranged combat.

>>2924257
>I'm still not even sure if I should keep the darts
I have no particular love for them (stylistically speaking).
>I did that intentionally so it doesn't look like he's got his arm outstretched the whole time.
I understood that, but looking through the actual frames I see that GFIRB0 -GFIRE0 actually do recoil when shooting. I registered it as being part of the same motion that brings it up while playing.

>>2924427
>I've also been toying with the idea of inflicting a small speed debuff when firing the blazter, mainly to discourage using it at close range without resorting to self damage.
You could just make the projectile do less damage at short distances?

>>2924453

I don't think there's a way to actually do that unless I make the projectile start as a weak one at first, then spawn a -different- projectile with the same velocity and direction. Plus it'd be weird to convey that to the player

>>2924447
>The mid shot actually generates like, triple the mana of an uncharged buster shot though.

The little shots do so little damage you can get full meter from something like a Hell Knight or a Baron or a Cacodemon

As for weakening the cannon in general you can
>Make the shots take more red meter
>Reduce meter gain
>Reduce damage output
>Reduce range
Slowing him down won't really change a player's mindset with it because projectiles shot at the player are linear for the most part.

The player doesn't need to make wide dodging movements a lot of the time unless there's a wave of bullets coming. But since they aim directly at the player you can do bullet herding pretty easily if you desire.

>>2924472

well if I make uncharged shots into a combo thing, it would mean you'd be able to generate energy at a comfortable rate but not cheese off a single monster, and most of the sub-shots take a shitload of energy as is.

Reducing damage output doesn't sound like a great idea either, but I might lower the range a little more.

>>2924460
Couldn't the projectile have a A_SetUserVar("user_timer", user_timer+1) or similar state in the projectiles main loop, and countinously set damage to user_timer?

>>2924478

I've actually never used that particular flag for something like that, there's still the issue of conveying this.

I could always make the projectiles do random damage, but I feel part of GMOTA's charm is the fixed damage values.

>>2924475
> it would mean you'd be able to generate energy at a comfortable rate but not cheese off a single monster
This is what I was thinking when you said it forces mid-charge shots. It would make it so you can't just turn anything into a battery when isolated.

I was just thinking of ways to emphasize more melee focus for Blaz.

If you make new characters for GMOTA I'd say Blaz would be the all rounder right now.

>>2924492

Oh, shit my bad, I guess my reading comprehension is awful.

I do plan on adding other characters, and if all goes right it'll work like this:

Blaz will have strong melee, normal health, and shit range, I really do need to tone back some of his subshots a little, along with his item crashes. Part of my problem with him right now is he has WAY too much shit that requires different states and button presses. I want to streamline him.

Kustam will have mediocre melee, more health, and best range, but kinda slow compared to the other guys, he's also gonna have some different quirks when it comes to his subweapons but that'll be for another day.

and Samson will be a bit of a wild card, throwing grenade weapons everywhere and capable giving himself and his buddies buffs, but the trade off his he'd have a tiny health pool because he's a dumb little kobold with hardly any armor.

>>2924489
>I've actually never used that particular flag for something like that, there's still the issue of conveying this.
Here's how DRLA did it anyway.

>I could always make the projectiles do random damage, but I feel part of GMOTA's charm is the fixed damage values.
It was just a suggestion as a preferable alternative to hobbling the player if he shoots really. Fixed damage values is otherwise something I really enjoy in fast paced games (ever since playing star craft).

This is a good reason to maybe not slow down Blaz.

But it could still make sense to slow him down with it. You could also cut his firing rate.
I think you should work on the new character first before major rebalances

Then you have a point of reference to work with.

>>2924518

Yeah, you guys have convinced me to not touch Blaz's movespeed. and I guess I could curb his fire rate with the buster a little, on top of add that little combo thing.

I'm really not sure if I want to start development on Kustam until I get Blaz where I want him.

>>2923447
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bInlePwfAs

>>2924523
The main reason to not touch the speed is because it doesn't really address the problem you are having with it and it wouldn't really encourage people not to go with shooting if they felt like it.

>>2924526
This, and if the level is really kicking my ass i just take a break and try later, playing doom while frustrated can be dangerous

>>2924531

Yeah, I was just kinda scraping the bottom of my own barrel of ideas in an attempt to bring some balance to this mess.

As much as I hate to admit it, making the buster fire at a slightly fixed rate would help quite a bit. If it was his only weapon there wouldn't be an issue, because I fucking love being able to hammer the fire button in games and lay waste with a fast trigger finger, like the dagger in Ghosts n Goblins.

Just because I really like a mechanic doesn't mean it melds with the rest of the ones I got implemented.

>>2924523
Another thing, carefully consider tweaking the spiky turret ball. They're outrageously efficient since they don't only deal damage without putting yourself at risk, they also take monster aggro away from you. It's become a habit to spam those out while shooting away with the peashooter just to get more mana for turretballs. (in slaughter type situations that is)

>>2924540

That's something else I should address, I think ideally I should just shorten their lifespan.

As far as BD and "enhanced features" go, it's pretty damn tame.

r/ing that "the way it was MEANT to be played" image.

I'm interested in it, but I'm gonna wait for a price drop/sale. $20 is a bit too much for an old game like this.

I used to play it a long time ago at my cousin's house but past the first few areas it'll basically be like my first time playing it

>>2925007
That's pretty gorgeous. Man.

I've been playing Doom since '98. What exactly do you find cringe-worthy about it? The slight filtering? The HUD?

>>2925005
By enjoying BOTH vanilla and modified Doom instead of being an edgy teen who says vanilla is the only way to play Doom ever, despite not actually being born when Doom was released.

Why does it bother people so much how other people play the damn game?

Honestly, some feedback on >>2925007 would be nice.

There is a difference between enjoying mods and enjoying mods that just look bad.

>if you don't like brutal doom, you must be one of those purist luddites that hate all mods!
I'd almost missed seeing this defense. Nostalgic.

>>2925146
>If I say a mod looks bad then the mod is bad
Enjoy that airtight bubble anon

>>2925154
Yeah, hud looks like shit and is annoying, so why would I want to play it

>>2925151
Pretty sure I said modified Doom, not specifically referring to Brutal Doom. l2r

>>2925146
>I don't like it, it looks like crap.

Be specific anon, come on. Try.

That hud is totally optional by the way, as most hud mods are. It normally uses the vanilla hud.

>>2925156
Then don't play it

>>2925161
I won't.
