What should someone who just finished Doom 1 for the first time do next?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10313491

---

A few questions:
https://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/58879-the-hi-res-doom-sound-pack-is-updated/

Are there any side-by-side comparisons of Doom 1 sounds compared to this sound pack? Any way to only get the 1:1 recreations (rips from the original sound library Doom used) without having the non-exact recreations? Does the other SFX sound different enough to notice it's not authentic Doom sounds?

Are there any good level packs for Doom 1 that have combat and light puzzles / exploration, like early levels in Doom 1, but not a shitload of maze layouts, like later levels in Doom 1?

Is the "par time" in levels pretty much a speedrun & no secrets par time? Or are you supposed to be good enough to get secrets and still clear in time for par?

What HUD is this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpzTyttq6ZI

How does Chex Quest compare to Doom 1 & 2?

Am I supposed to be able to find every secret in Doom without a guide?

>>3245251
I don't know what editor you're using, but you're supposed to remove the sector (In doombuilder you just select it and hit delete) to make walls, which makes the lines one sided. The only reason to make walls out of actual sectors is to have a different texture on the upper and lower sections of the wall.

>>3245263
logic or gameplay as the reason for not liking the revolver's reload?

if it's logic then it can be explained away with speed loaders and not wanting to spend time inserting individual bullets

>>3245264
>Doomsday
What the fuck? What the fuck?

I sure hope >>3241752 comes back.

>>3245115
Well, YES, Smooth Doom uses it's own Decorate enemies and weapons, of course trying to use another mod that replaces those same actors with something else is going to conflict, what did you think would happen?

>>3245264

On the par time, yeah par time is some straight up speed running. It's impossible on a majority of levels to get both Perfect and Par.

An average player should find enough secrets to keep their health armor and ammo up, though some secrets are worth more than others (Hello BFG...). And yeah there are a lot of secrets that are of the press wall on one side of the level to open up a passageway for 10 seconds on the other side of the level. So don't feel bad about missing secrets.

Chex Quest is... Interesting but I personally would pass.

>>3245264
Go for Doom 2. Level design is not that great, but it is worth checking out. At least for learning ropes with Super Shotgun and new enemies.

I'd suggest a wad to play, but I am drawing blank here. All the ones I love are bit trickier.
But anyway. Valiant, Ancient Aliens, Scythe 2, Deus Vult 2, Going Down, Sunlust, Freudian Slipgate...
As for gameplay mods, Smooth Doom, Demonsteele, Trailblazer.
Russian Overkill for slaughtermaps.

Mock 2, too.

RE: John Romero and sourceports.

John Romero picked Doomsday for the 20th anniversary because it obviously provided a simple setup for LAN play. He was seen playing Doom with Macs with his sons and played Episode 1 with a member of IGN with said sourceport.

John Romero picked Zandronum for that small Deathmatch event because it provided a simple setup for online play.

Not that hard to understand at all.

Any time you go to do anything- pick up a key/weapon/powerup, open a door, press a switch, go through a teleporter, even just walk across a single fucking room- assume that doing so will cause a platoon of chaingunners/revenants/pain elementals/an archvile to pop into existence exactly 5 feet behind you. This is Plutonia's one and only means of presenting a challenge, and it compensates for its lack of any other form of difficulty by throwing it at you every ten seconds. The only way to Git Gud is to memorize where the various Fuck You traps are positioned and have an appropriate weapon ready when you spring them.

Do you guys have a groove you get into when making maps? Began my first attempt at map making a few months ago and worked on it when I had time. I have a full map now, fixing up some of the acs stuff and going to detail the rooms as I figure out the exact monster placements. It got a little big.
Do any of you create like this? Or go one room at a time, polish it and then move on?

They are absurdly large, I set them to that so that I could test other things easily.

A reasonable distance would be their values minus 10000 (128.0, 64.0, 64.0) to show you what they can do but you'd actually probably want them smaller than that. Have you made a map in doombuilder before? The units in doombuilder and the units in acs are the same units, that will give you an idea of scale. Also look at actor heights and radii.

>>3246240

back on /p/ we would critique, or criticize, other people's photos and (ideally) people would go into detail, and that's often helpful

i think that it would be nice if we did that with maps here, but i don't think that many of us have a strong grasp on mapping theory so critiques may not end up being much more than "This area was hard" or "Misaligned texture here" or "Puzzle was obnoxious", but that's better than absolutely nothing

maybe we could develop a framework for map critique based on a list of questions about the potential map that can lead to more in-depth analysis and critique, like "Does the player have a clear place to go? / Does the player have direction? If not, is this on purpose? For what reason?" "Does the texture choice properly illustrate what can be interacted with? Does it have a consistent tone in each area? Does anything seem out of place?" "Can the composition of elements in a room be improved? What purpose do these elements serve?" maybe throw in some Romero quotes reworked into questions

>>3246217
I start by making a symmetrical room. Just a square first, then cut off the edges and add structure to it. Then I go into the 3D view and adjust ceilling height and pick a theme for the texturinig. From that point on it's just adding detail and repeating the process, while connecting the rooms with doors and short hallways.

>>3246257
just for shits and giggles, you should force yourself to not make a symmetrical room for a whole map. asymmetrical compositions can be very strong and feel more freeing once you let go of symmetry and focus on flow and balance of elements.

>>3246263
I guess the only issue I noticed is that it will still destroy the item and give you one even if you can't use it (like a medkit when you're full HP). I'm sure there's some roundabout way to get around that, but is there some easy method? I think I might want to incorporate something along the lines of "if you try to pick up a box of shotgun shells, you only get enough to hit your max carry amount, and the rest fly out as single individual shells you can pick up later".

You'd need to start checking based upon what the calling actor has so use
http://zdoom.org/wiki/CheckInventory
compare that to
http://zdoom.org/wiki/GetMaxInventory
then based upon what that returns, give the player however much of the item, and if you want to drop leftover items use
http://zdoom.org/wiki/DropItem
from the inventory item before it's removed, probably in a loop to spawn however much of the default actor amount the remainder is divisible by, since if you set a single item to have different than normal amount the script if used on it again won't be able to differentiate the shell with 9 shells from a normal 4 shells.
Probably the best way to keep track of how much goes into each item would be to either have a map level 2d string array that has classnames in first part and second is numbers, then use one of the string number parsers (like in commonFuncs.h) to convert to number, or to just write one yourself, or have two separate arrays that have the corresponding data in the same location in each array.

So either

str ammo[4][2] = {
{ "Clip", "10" },
{ "ClipBox", "50" },
{ "Shell", "4" },
{ "ShellBox", "20" }, };

or

str ammo_name[4] = { "Clip", "Clipbox", "Shell", "Shellbox" };
str ammo_amt[4] = {10, 50, 4, 20 };

Keep in mind you'd also have to account for the skill's DropAmmoFactor, and there's no built in function to do this.
If you're doing this for vanilla or your own mod or whatever then just checking skill with
http://zdoom.org/wiki/GameSkill
and then determining dropammofactor from there should be sufficient, if you're doing it for universal compatibility this gets more complicated.

Added the above to the end of the pastebin so you can find it again easily. I gotta head out now so I probably won't see anything until like 9-10am tomorrow.

Oh, forgot to mention, to group the actors that give a particular type of ammo, you'd want to use another 2d string array to do so, have all ammo types on one line with the different actors, and compare the actors to the actor names until you find a match, and then you know what the other actors of the same ammo type are, with the ammo type at a particular position in each set. Either have a corresponding int array for amounts, or have the actor names have the inventory amount on the end of the actor separated by some character so when you parse the string you can use that as an indication that what follows afterwards is not an actor name and is a number you need to convert, or add an additional dimension and have some empty/unused values in the array.

This might seem complicated but once you get it going it's far, far more manageable than having a million conditional statements to do the same thing. It can reduce something like 200 lines of code to 20.

Alright guys, I'm pretty new to Doom mods.
I've completed the HoE Starter Pack, Maps of Chaos, BTSX-E1, and most of Equinox.
What map pack do you recommend next?

I'm considering:
Vanguard with Combined Arms & Ketchup,
Scythe 2 with Demonsteele,
Brotherhood of Ruin with GMOTA,
or... something else.

>>3246358
I suppose it's some sort of bewildered amusement or curiosity.

Vanguard and Scythe 2 are both pretty great map packs, Scythe 1 and Scythe X are also good. Vanguard doesn't behave with mods that change weapons cause it has a pistol and chaingun replacement built-in.

Hm, okay. Icarus showed the Combined Arms weapon mod with the Vanguard maps specifically in his video:

Your wish is my command.

I've finally sorted out FreeDoom textures and sounds. It's not perfect if you load FreeDoom without it's textures, but other way around it works great.
Freedoom1-2.wad - levels from FreeDoom. Load it with Doom1-2.wad. Freedoom1.wad contains FreeDoom textures that were missing from Doom1.wad
Freedoom1-Doom2textures.pk3 - Doom 2 textures required by FreeDoom Phase 1 that are missing from Doom.wad.
Freedoom-resources.pk3 - unique textures that don't appear in both Doom1 and Doom2.
Freedoom1-2-music.wad - music.
Freedoom-miscsounds.wad - sounds like switches, elevators and PCspeaker sounds
Freedoom-enemies.wad - enemies.
Freedoom-weapons.wad - weapons.
Freedoom-items.wad - items.
Freedoom-player.wad - mugshot, player sprite and player sounds
Freedoom-hud.wad - status bar, font and menu skull
Freedoom-decor.wad - decorations like candles, impaled bodies and barrels
Freedoom-differenttextures.pk3 - textures that look unique and somehow different
Freedoom-similartextures.pk3 - textures that look very similar to their Doom counterparts
Freedoom-uaccensor.pk3 - if you are tired of UAC and want some AGM

All stuff that starts with "Freedoom-*" works with both Doom1 and Doom2.

I like how instead of using id's copyrighted artwork, these turds are just using someone else's copyrighted artwork.

Speaking of which....
I made a map using a ton of textures from the Hell on Earth Starter Pack. I have since gone through and just pulled out the textures I actually use and put them in a separate resource pk3. Even though the textures have the same name, when I try to get rid of the HoESP resource, it deletes all my texture information and I'm left with a bunch of blank terrain. Is there anyway to do this without having to retexture everything by hand?

>>3246791
>these turds are just using someone else's copyrighted artwork.
IIRC all of freedom's stuff has either been specifically made for the project or was explicitly released under a license that allows them to use it, it's not like they're stealing things.

Unrelatedly, taking a break and thinking about zdpso features: How should drla be handled in regards to player loadouts and banned weapons? Was going to remove all things that would spawn from a particular banned weapon, and for loadouts have random weapon within the slot given instead of being able to specifically select a particular weapon. This would be easier to code, keep options interface for drla the same as other supported mods and (hopefully) be within the roguelike spirit. Thoughts?

Nevermind, I got it.

Disregard errors, db doesn't know what it's talking about. If they also pop up when running it normally then pay attention, but unless things aren't showing up in the thing placement menu don't worry about it.

>>3246818
>>3246865
To add: the specific reason it's doing this is because ZDoom.pk3 isn't loaded as a resource, so it doesn't realize that there is an ammo class defined in it. Once zdoom actually runs it though it works fine. Don't add ZDoom.pk3 though, that will clutter up your thing placement menu unless that's been fixed.

Oh my god guys, I'm so happy I've gotta share.

So I'm working on the old Zombies TC for doom from the 90's, changing the weapons, adding zombies, give it a bit more of that "Romero" feel to it. One thing that has always bothered me is that bikers and zombies would cooperate to kill you, living in harmony. Since decorate has no function for multiple factions and "thing_hate" just doesnt work with multiple enemy types, I spent weeks trying to find a workaround. So here's what I did : I added a line to the zombies "see" state that shoots an invisible explosive object straight at the ground. The object explodes with a small radius, attracting infighting from nearby enemies. I then set all the zombies to belong to the same species so they wouldn't fight each other and all the humans to be immune to this damagetype so they don't lose health from it but still react by becoming agressive towards whoever emitted the damage.

I don't want to seem like I'm boasting, but I'm pretty new to decorate (I did a few things but that was years ago and much of my "work" was flat out stealing code from other authors) so I'm pretty fucking proud of myself. There's probably a more elegant way of doing it but... It works !

>>3246965
Neat. Does Thing Hate not work if you have one base zombie that is hated and then make the rest of the zombies inherit from him? Same with the bikers. I've never used Thing Hate so I'm curious how it works.

>>3246970

I've made plenty of recsarch on thing_hate and basically I've only found people that have given up on it because they couldn't achieve what they wanted. Something about multiple actors having to share tids or something. I don't understand it all, but from what I've seen on the zdoom forums, nobody really found a workaround so I thought "if they've not found a solution, I sure as fuck won't"

And a thing I like about my formula is that bikers do not actively "hunt" zombies, they only start shooting if zombies get too close. Seems sensible.

>>3246983
Sounds like something I may be able to use later. I'm working on a post apoc TC right now. I've got some cannibals and mutants as the two main enemy groups, I might consider making them hate each other if it's not too much work.

Since it's 4am and I'm about to hit the hay, I'll give you a quick run down. Randomized maps, crafting, randomized enemy spawns... uhh... that's all I got for now. The hardest part will be putting together enough maps.

>>3246996

My method is honestly easy as pie. The idea struck me last night as I was heading to bed and I thought "this is too simple to work, right ?" but after one hour of fiddling with it, I got it to work for one zombie, and then I just copied the function to all the other zombies, added +dontharmspecies and species zombie to all the zombies, damagefactor "stench" 0 for all the humans (including the player) and I was pretty much good to go.

Your TC sounds real interesting though.

here's how I spawn shit randomly in my maps:

http://pastebin.com/ewzwSX2q

This will randomly spawn a monster every 800 to 1000 tics

>>3246951
I thought this was meant to be a huge sword? it seems like a normal one to me.
Besides that it's looking good (also how does the hit detection work?).

>>3247001
>>3247001
>Are you the guy who tried to educate me on map dependant randomspawners yesterday ?
No, that's me. I'm that guy that was helping that other guy with the point thing.

You can actually use thing hate for this but you have to do things like give every monster a tid and check los in acs constantly to decide what to give the thing hate to. You could also use this in conjunction with your method, to have the decorate version a shorter range thing; eg the bikers see you first and don't start shooting at the zombies across the map, but if the zombies get close to them they switch targets to the zombies. Meanwhile the zombies see the bikers first with acs and so shamble towards them, but check with acs their proximity to players or bikers within a certain max range, so that if a player or biker gets too close they target them instead. Also consider adding flags to zombies like the drop off flag so they will run off of ledges. I'm using both target methods (well, radiusgive with script rather than painstates, but very similar except it doesn't interrupt monster with a painstate, but downside is its only really feasible when done from a very limited amount of monsters) for the mini marines in fractal doom so that monsters attack them if the see them. Also holy shit apparently there is a doom mod madness video for fractal doom
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PVjy5L-kj_o
I had no idea people were still playing this dumb meme mod in 2011+5.

As for acs, it's basically just a limited version of C, so any tutorials for C will also be applicable to acs, more or less. It will make more sense than decorate once you learn it.

The way it's being held in the idle state it looks like it's only half a metre long, it doesn't even reach past the centre horizontal line of player vision. When you see the rest of the sword when it's swinging it's implied that when the sword is idle it's actually being held at the height of doomguy's knee or lower.

>>3247047

Yeah, I had to take some serious liberties with the idle frame, I didn't want to take up a shitload of screen space.

>>3247047 (me)
Oh, also when I said it seems like a normal sword I also meant the swing speed almost being HaeLin-level with little weight to it.

Fractal doom is pretty fun, I think.

I really like your +DROPOFF idea, I added it.

However, the ACS thing_hate thing... I'm not sure, I wouldn't want all monsters to murder each other before you even get the chance to get to them.

I might do another slightly larger radius thing for zombies to attack nearby bikers though.

>>3247065

To be fair Actraiser has a very specific flow for its gameplay, if I went for a slower swing rate in GMOTA, you'd get clobbered pretty quick. Even if the attacks were REALLY powerful, a longer delay between each swing would leave the player really vulnerable, and I want the Doomslayer to be a guy who wades in similar to Blaz

>>3247050
B-But it's a huge sword! ;_; What's the point of having a big fuck-off sword if it doesn't take up screen space.
>>3247056
My point is you can *say* it's a large sword, but unless it feels like one to the player the idea's kinda lost.
I'll roll with it though, I was just giving some feedback on it from what I've seen so far, not trying to muddle up what you're working on.

and I appreciate that feedback, don't you fret.

I'll look into making a better idle frame for Doomslayer's blade, and I'll make sure the sound effects sound meaty.

and perhaps I can add an extra few tics here and there between each swing attack to add some more weight to it, but I'll have to be very careful there.

To add to my post >>3247031, the way to do factions in acs would be, all monsters get user var in decorate that will be faction, then run script on spawn that passes arg to script that sets their faction var from arg (in case needed later) then gives them a unique tid and stores it in the global array, and increments entry count for faction by one.

Global array would be used since unlimited, but can't have multidimensional global array so array management would be needed. Array management would be: separate factions by largish number (say 1000) and first number in each faction (so faction[0], faction [1000], faction [2000], etc) is just the entry count for the faction, so if there are 52 monsters in faction 1, then faction[0] is set to 52, which is used so that the upper limit to check is known. You would also need an open script that continually checks if any particular faction is getting full, and if so shuffles everything in the array forward by 1000 (or whatever number) to make room, and a exit script to zero out the entire array.

(continued)

>>3247101
Now, for the actual scripts, you'd have in the spawn state along with the a_look calls to a script that would use
http://zdoom.org/wiki/CheckSight
to check line of sight between itself and monsters in enemy factions (after first checking that the tid does not reference a corpse) and then, for monsters that are in its line of sight, any max distance you would like to set. Either go with the first result that meets the above criteria or store them in a script level array until all are checked, at which point you can have them choose which to use

on, either something like go after the closest or maybe pick a random one from all of them so that all monsters in one faction don't all target the same monster from an enemy faction.

Then, during see state have a similar script that has a much smaller max distance and in addition checks players as well as monsters in enemy factions. Would also probably be a good idea for both scripts to limit how frequently a monster can pick a new target, like monsters do already. Easiest decorate way to do this would be to have a timer var that gets set to something like 100 or whatever when the targeting script successfully picks a target, then in the decorate this gets decremented every couple of tics and the targeting script immediately terminates whenever it gets called and the timer var is any value above 0.

That would pretty much be all you need to do factions in zdoom, I think. It probably wouldn't even take that long to implement, if you wanted to upload your mod someone here could do it.

>However, the ACS thing_hate thing... I'm not sure, I wouldn't want all monsters to murder each other before you even get the chance to get to them.
This is easy: just either don't call the script in the spawn state at all, or if you want the player to come upon scenes of bikers fighting zombies but not have them fight so soon that they kill each other off before the player sees them, either have a distance check in the spawn state script that stops it if no players are closer than a specified amount, or have the monster have two spawn states, the first doesn't do the script but checks for an item to send the monster to the second spawn state where the script is called, then the player actor states constantly a_radiusgive with the no line of sight flag the item that puts monsters in the second spawn state.

To be perfectly honest I'm pretty content with my current implementation I'm happy that I've been able to find such a stupidly hacky solution, if anybody wants to check my wad and try that ACS code for curiosity or experimentation's sake, I'll share it of course.

Upload it and I may work on it tonight while listening to Term's stream instead of writing code he doesn't want and won't use.

>>3247119
Looks good to me.

>>3247119
You should make a voxel sword and use that, it will give a better sense of distance and impact.

>voxels

Please no. I don't want to strain people's computers.

Plus I don't think voxels would actually work for a HUD weapon.

>>3247119
I'd say a small delay between each swing would help with the feeling of weight. Looks good for length now, though.

>>3247128
It "works" but it's shit in practice.

>>3247101
I wonder if it's possible to abuse the "team" property for monsters if the game is run in MP mode

>>3247130

I'll add at least one more tic of a delay between each swing, but I don't wanna go slow mode here.

>>3247134

Yeah, I'm sticking with sprites. I think voxels can be fun but I don't think they'd work at all here.

>>3246881
> again
What did you do?

>>3247126
This is DOOM not Ace of Spades

>>3247128
They do, but you have to do what I suggested to that guy that used the hl pistol model that got it working, have the voxel warp to the player with weapon code just dictating what the offsets the code should use are. Easy!

Actually though I'm just joshing, the sword looks terrific. Though something that cyan is an odd color choice. No not really, color is fine.

>>3247119
Now we're talking! The swinging sprites look "larger" too since there's a better reference of size in the idle pose. Sweet.

>>3247128
Voxels, even in GZDoom, wouldn't be any issue in this case since there's only one voxel instead of however many voxel actors. In ZDoom they have pretty great performance.

>>3247134
They work fine from what I understand, in ZDoom anyway, as they don't have the same issue as constantly warping models do that the half life pistol anon tan into.

>>3247138
I'm not familiar enough with zandronum to know, but I would think those would only work for players. I might be wrong though, worth a look.

>>3247140
I filled some prescriptions.

>>3247142
I'm the guy with the hl pistol. It does not work in practice due to interpolatin issues. An absolute dead end right now.a model that isn't required to change angles dynamically can be rotated through changing offsets and angles in modeldef between each frame declaration of a static model though.

>>3246724
>>3246732
It wouldn't be a problem if 3DGE weren't the definition of a shit port.

>uncap framerate in 3DGE
>Doom 2 Map01 never goes over 62 FPS, looks and plays like complete ass on my 75hz display
>GZDoom gets consistently over 250, gameplay is smooth as butter and the lighting actually resembles Doom
And people bitch about GZDoom's "high" requirements. Once you're over the "having a video card from the past six years" hurdle, it's actually really good.

>>3247153
Aren't those issues only applicable to models in (G)ZDoom or voxels in GZDoom, and not voxels in ZDoom?

>>3247157
Try having a simple sprite warp in front of your face then walk up the map01 stairs. Yeah..

>>3247160
I'm on phone right now so can't check, but iirc when I played around with warping sprite actors in zdoom they conformed to player pitch and angle pretty flawlessly. Am I misremembering?

The other issue I would have with voxels is it'd probably result in a smoother animation, which would be detrimental to how snappy I want the sword to be.

Speaking of which, I added a few more tics between each swing and cleaned up the blade of the idle frame a little.

Have fun, the download is a bit meaty due to the absurd amount of flac sounds I crammed in there for the zombies. It's only designed to run with zombies.wad and will do some cooky shit if you try to run it with another mapset (a lot of the code is based on the dehacked trickery of the original TC). It's obviously very unfinished and is largely untested beyond the first two levels.

My code is bad, and so are my photoshop skillz so be gentle.

>>3247160
>>3247161
Also lemme add: I'm not doubting you, I just test everything pretty much exclusively in ZDoom, while from what I understand most other people use GZDoom, and I'm wondering if there might be a difference between them since sprites in GZDoom are flat models.

>>3247168

I'm gonna fix those bones.

>>3247161
X/y position of the actor based on your position, pitch and angle is fine. As is pitch and angle for 3d models. It's when you combine them or introduce the z dimension (stairs, jumping) that shit goes wacky

>>3247183
Huh. I may test it in zdoom when I get home for my own peace of mind, but that sucks to hear.

Is it any z-movement that fucks it up or just stairs and jumping? IIRC aren't stairs in Doom teleporty things that make you move without any momentum? If so I can see how that would fuck it up. I have no idea how jumping is handled internally.

Maybe you could make a wolfenstein type project with models for weapons, wouldn't run into any problems then.

>>3247123
Oh wait today is Friday. My vampire schedule has me all kinds of fucked up.

Silly wad ideas, classic doom style recreations of the events of the doom rpgs, maybe one for wolfenstine rpg too

>Is it any z-movement that fucks it up or just stairs and jumping?
Any changes in player Z. I tried making a dynamic skybox camera with in a room with 1/8 scale geometry that appears to connect with stuff in the actual map, but I ran into the Z interpolation issue there as well. Worked flawlessly otherwise!

>Maybe you could make a wolfenstein type project with models for weapons, wouldn't run into any problems then.
As long as you don't need the model to dynamically change angle (webm related), you can just use and actual weapon with 3d model frames.
