Right lads. Vote for the best megawad on this list or suggest megawads that should be on here.

I want to find the best of the best.

>>3326213

>>3326221
Well you have Going Down, Scythe 2, Plutonia 2, Alien Vendetta and BTSX Episode 1.

From the amount of people that have voted already, this seems like the most solid top five you'll get.

>>3326226

>implied requirement to have played all these wads before voting

While this is definitely the fastest general board on /vr/, I think your goal is a bit far-reaching anon.

>>3326237
>Trust me, I have the time and the tism to get those votes.

So you're blatantly admitting you're going to spam the poll over and over again?

Every now and then, I feel the urge to do a "Doom the way Serious Sam did" wad (moving from big arena to big arena). Is there anything similar that already exists?

>>3326238
>Implying this is the only place I'm putting the poll.

>>3326241
Not at all. I'm rotating the poll over multiple locations precisely to keep spam down and new viewer click rate high.

On a side note, I'm thinking of doing a (very small) test level for Doom Souls, a dark souls / Doom crossover. What sourceport should I look at making it work with. I want following features:

>Flame / Magic 'ammo' are used for spells (instead of rockets and cells), might have this slowly regen
>Arrows will be another ammo type
>Bonfires reset all monsters but save game, game should only really be saved at bonfires
>Hand to hand combat, using regenerating ammo to replace stamina
>Can spend souls at bonfires to upgrade armor, health, ammo cap etc
>Armor upgrades increase damage reduction % and damage threshold.
>Not sure if armor should regen or be permanent
>Move speed is quite slow vs Doom, running uses 'stamina'
>Various consumables like health and power ups


If I can get these things done as a proof of concept and there is a lot of interest, I want to start working on a large, interconnected single level with very similar features to the souls games.

Thoughts?

>>3326242
There's exactly a thing like that. It's called "The Island". Looks gorgeous, but the gameplay is very poorly thought out and isn't nearly as fun as serious sam. You could certainly do a better job with enough effort.

Not only has it not been "established as fact" it's not even relevant to the current discussion. No one is interpreting a fucking doom .wad based on who made it. This isn't literature.

On the topic of established authors posting semi-anonymously on imageboards, does anyone have any suggestions for Samsara? I don't get a vast amount of feedback since best-ever used an older version of Zandro than what I was targeting (I think that's changing for its successor?), but it'd be nice to throw a few things into the to-do list for a rainy day.

I mean, other than Adding Caleb.

I was thinking about making few maps and wrapping my Dump 3 maps ( with Electron made bit more sane ) and the new ones into miniwad. Perhaps 6 maps, or 7.

Now that general shape of the place is done, out to making layout and the thematics. I guess red or orange could work wonderfully against the dark gray bricking. But it also needs something else...

Interesting idea.

>>3326462
Some of Fred's projectile weapons don't seem to cope well with mouselook. Dunno if it's intentional but the LAZ Device can't fire diagonally, only straight ahead.

I haven't tried the latest Samasara version but the Super Large Zorcher felt kinda iffy to kill shit at higher or lower elevations, and while I'd imagine it's useful in MP, I think it's pretty shitty for use as far as SP goes.

I feel like making small adjustment-mod for Trailblazer. Essentially for 1.3:

>Option to not spawn jetpacks on no-jump settings/wads.

It sounds OK. It's just shifting Dark Souls outside its own realms has not historically proven well: (See: the hundreds of poor saps that attempted to make a Dark Souls RPG system and failed miserably). However, it would be really cool if you used Zandronum and somehow got an invasion system working. I would play the fuck out of that.Mostly becuase my computer is too much of a potato to run Dark Souls at MP-legal rates

Haven't started texturing/detailing yet, so it looks extremely boring at the moment.

However, if you wanna hear what the inspirations are, the sort of 'nazi castle on mountain', Eagle's Nest from Deus Vult 2 and Slaughtenstein from SF2012. Physically I am loosely basing the outline on Neuschwanstein castle.

>>3326242
it's called Doom 4, anon

>>3326604
I'd think carefully about your "single huge, interconnected level" idea, especially if you want to have massive areas where you can see later areas from a distance. ZDoom no likey rendering large areas, especially without any one-sided lines with which to perform culling.

>>3326621
Wonder if you could it kinda like how Hexen does it. Or maybe how The Golden Souls does it.

>>3326585
Some things I remember him mentioning in videos.

>Reuse areas, basically create hubs.
>Create visible landmarks to help the player navigate.
>When you change the floor texture, change the height of the floor itself.
>Playtest your levels.
>If you're making a set of maps, make the first one last. It's supposed to draw the player in, not put them off.
>If you make an outdoor area, give the player a way to reach it.

>>3326375
this is the strangest consequence of chan culture to me. the idea that posting stuff online attached to a pseudonym - not even your real actual name, just a pseudonym! - is somehow a pompous and pretentious act.

>>3326629
Hexen Hubs are supported by ZDoom, yeah. You'll have to "cheat" for bits where you can see future areas from a distance, but pretty much everything in this engine is cheats anyway.

>>3326585
One interesting tip he said in a video was create an interesting visual when the player starts that'll make them want to explore more. That's how I always start.

Both the pack and the animation lacks one frame of rotation because I somehow fumbled it away in PS while juggling all those layers

>>3326701
>>Shadow Warrior 2 looks to be a massive improvement on the original
I wouldn't say "improved", since it's kind of changing genres.
but im ok with that

>>3326701
Quake Champions doesn't fill me with confidence. Made by a Russian dev that doesn't have a good track record and basically a sequel to Quake 3 because of Overwatch being popular.

So what servers does this thread play?

>>3326701
Isn't what's left of Ravensoft making maps for CoD or something? Surprised there isn't at least one reference to Heretic or Hexen

>>3326717
Ravensoft is owned by activision now, but I think id still owns the Hexen IP since they published the games.

>>3326701
Heretic/Hexen aren't nearly as big as those games you mentioned.

>>3326708
>because of Overwatch being popular
We don't know anything about Quake Champions other than "champions" being in the title and characters having passive abilities to support different playstyles. They also confirmed no loadouts with the weapons scattered around the arena. It's got nothing to do with Overwatch.

Literally the only reason people are side-eyeing QC is because "champions" is in the name and that word has been poisoned by the MOBA genre.

>>3326717
Yes, Raven is a CoD studio. They provide development support to the main dev studios (Infinity Ward etc.), and head up both the China-exclusive F2P spin-off and the MW1 remaster.

Not the most glorious of fates, but after Singularity was a developmental mess and Wolfenstein 09 flopped, it's a reasonable alternative to disintegration.

>>3326726
yeah but I want HD necromancer gauntlets zapping funny little ghouls on idtech 6

>>3326723
>Looking it up on Steam

Huh, they did publish the games. Does it actually work that way with intellectual properties?

>>3326731
I thought Wolfenstein 09 was sorta okay

>>3326736
I don't know how it worked back in the day, but nowadays that's typically what it means. That's why indie developers are so hinky about partnering with publishing studios nowadays, because publishers tend to include "by the way we own your franchise" in their publishing deals.

>>3326736
I'm not saying it was a bad game. I'm saying nobody bought it.

>>3326736
Seeing how Wolfenstein 09 isn't on Steam despite (i think) Bethesda owning Wolfenstein, i don't think activision can own the hexen IP if bethesda has the hexen games on steam.


All speculation though, I don't know SHIT

You guys are massively overestimating how big dark souls is. With slowed movement, the world will seem big, but the main trick Dark souls uses is blurring stuff with a wonky perspective to make it seem miles away.

So, getting back to actually discussing retro fps games - what elements in them makes you like them more than modern games, and which of those elements would you like to see a resurgence of in modern vidya?

>>3326963
Abstract, non-"story"-driven levels, having to imitate quarries and such doesn't make for a very fun stage, in my opinion.
Also, weapon upgrades not simply being "moar damage damage,moar dakka", but being different from the original (Like Heretic).
Lastly I would say not changing gameplay halfway through *cough*On-rails minigun sections *cough*

>>3326963

Most obviously speed, but something that doom gets right particularly is the use of hitscan for enemies. It's limited to enemies who are relatively fragile, excepting for the Spider Master Mind, which allows more room for run and gun and requires less cowering in cover.

The more I play HeXen, the more I have to wonder
Are there any significant/good Castlevania mods for Doom?

>mfw playing olde1 for Quake II

I don't know if it's my aversion towards religiously defending Quake II from people saying it plays badly, that the weapons suck shit, that the enemies are terribly unbalanced, that the layouts are boring, whatever, but.

man.

this sucks SHIT.

I have had no prior experience with custom q2 mapsets mind you, but having played both mission packs for it, I can safely say I have no fucking idea how I managed to stomach this game for so fucking long. It has to have the most horrid gameplay in any retro FPS ever.

>player moves around like a retarded slug with overweight, bunnyhop is even more retardedly effective here than it was in Q1 for some reason, no air control whatsoever
>enemies are either hitscan/fast projectile pieces of shit with unreasonably high HP that nibble away at your health faster than you can say 'master ejaculator' or useless laughable blobs of shit that do jackshit but sprint towards you at long range, and deal retarded amounts of damage+knockback/visual recoil at close range with their melee attacks
>blaster can go fuck itself
>shotgun is a slow (and I mean SLOW) weak piece of garbage
>super shotgun's spread and slow fire rate renders it unusable at long ranges, which is unwise most of the times since most enemies can easily get the drop on you from far away and deal even more damage when you try and get closer to them, or either flinch back and hit you anyways as you reload it, the fact that it's pump action is incredibly unsatisfying and makes it feel as if I were shooting a watergun
>machinegun is balls out stupid with that retarded vertical recoil and sounds/feels like shite, also stupidly inaccurate
>grenades are for when you want to not hit anything and obstruct your view with that chair-rocking retarded animation, also travel like 1.5 feet from you and deal fuckall damage
>also slow weapon switching because fuck you, hope you like breaking gameplay flow

this is Wrath of Cronos all over again. Goddamn it.

This is getting annoying.

retard here.

What are the basics of Doom modding? By which I mean, what are all the different pieces and code types and how do they work with each other?
I've made some tiny games myself, all in one language (C++) but when I hear people talking about DOOM modding I hear terms like DECORATE and whatnot, as if no one is actually messing with the source code itself, but different parts that make up a WAD.

Also, has anyone bothered to make different Doomguy sprites for each different weapon? Seems like something that should have been done by now, considering everything else.

>>3327231

There's the doommonsters blog, if you don't mind the cartoony art style.

>debating an opinion

doom2 > heretic > ult. doom > hexen > reg. doom > quake 2 > strife > quake

>>3327253
>AMAZING
I have learned to associate this term with dread and horror.

>>3327252

You don't need to have any knowledge of C++ to create Doom wads, only knowledge of how to use Doom Builder, SLADE, and using the zdoom wiki for ACS/DECORATE reference. You can it up in a day.

>>3327258
Why do you like Doom 2 better than Doom?

>>3327252
If you want to make maps, go get DoomBuilder or GZDoomBuilder. For just starting out just DoomBuilder will cut it.

Editing the source code is really only necessary if you are going to be doing some really ambitious stuff. Everything else can be handled with DECORATE, which is the scripting language commonly used for Doom modding. For now I would just stick to making a map, then move onto making a custom weapon, then custom enemies.

>>3327263
Not him, but I like the monsters and SSG it added that is my only reason for liking it better, obviously Ultimate Doom had the best maps.

>>3327252
Well it depends on the engine, but most of what you'll hear here is for the ZDoom family of engines. Map making and custom art assets are pretty self explanatory, but game logic is governed by three things, roughly speaking:

DECORATE, which is the language used to define monsters, weapons, powerups and such. I think it could be described as a "finite-state machine", where basically an actor (which is what entities in the game are called) has a set of States, each containing a bunch of Frames. The "chase" state of a monster for example scrolls through the walking animation and calls the AI function that makes the monster move towards the player and attempt to enter the Missile state in which it attacks. DECORATE are simply uncompiled text files

Then there's sector actions and line specials, which are tied to map geometry when one designs a map. This is the only logic stuff you can change in vanilla doom, for switches, doors and such.

Then finally there's ACS, "action code script". It was originally introduced in Hexen to extend the aforementioned sector and line specials, allowing them to do multiple things at once and affect stuff in other levels of a hub. In zdoom however it has been greatly extended. It works more or less like C depending on which compiler you use, and can be used for pretty much anything. ACS calls are frequently used from decorate to overcome various limitations, in particular information-gathering stuff.

>>3327246
What's the problem here? if you're talking about the vertices moving when you make the sector, they have to be aligned to the grid, and get adjusted to the nearest unit/flat pixel corner.

>>3327236
>Heretic that high up

Not with that awful weaponset and boring monsters, no.

>>3327252
>>3327275
And yes, virtually no one actually mess with the source code. Only people like nash who make private builds in their quest for making stand-alone indie games based on the gzdoom engine do that. If you write an addition to the engine you can just make a pull request and hope the zdoom devs decide to be sensible :^)

>>3327246
>>3327276
Oh I think you're referring to it making sectors around the square instead of within it. Try making the sector in the opposite direction. (so the linedefs face inward)

>>3327217
lmao you have some shit opinions, hows living with that much shit taste you shit taste faggot

Is it possible to make a sector where the player has no control? I mean, no control and no friction so that they keep going until they reach the other side?

The reason I ask is because I'm planning out a spacecraft map, and spacewalking would be fun.

>>3327294
You could probably make a script line trigger that uses SetPlayerPropertyy to freeze the player and SetActorProperty to change his friction in ACS

>>3327294
you mean like those animal vision tunnels in ancient aliens? because I think they sacrificed virgins to achieve all the effects that they did

even modern games do a much better job at selling relatively interesting gameplay with much more realistic (hint hint: shittier) weapons.

>>3327264
Not interested in maps so much as weapons and weapon modifications.

I was playing Hideous Destructor, and thought it made an interesting game. It focuses on weapon realism and on human limitations, making things like traps and ambushes very valuable, and adding tactics to the game in a natural way, since it doesn't actually add them, it just makes them valuable. The way the mod works, being able to lay traps and set up ambushes helps you a lot.

I thought it would be cool if someone added C4. HD already has IEDs, which blow up when someone passes by (or when you type in "detonate" in the console), but C4 would be a little different. 1, you could stick them to walls. 2, you could detonate them separately from each other. You could attach them to a moving wall and watch them ride up before detonating them at some unsuspecting monsters up above.

Or, a robot like the DERP, but instead of it running around shooting, you put it next to a switch, and when you activate the robot (with some console command), the robot flips the switch. This would work well for maps where you're expected to flip a switch and then race to some platform that just lowered before it raises again.

Or WW2 weapons.

>>3327318

Lot of places where monster infighting occurs in the first map. Also why is the lighting so schizophrenic?

>>3327318
I played the first map, the biggest criticism I can give is that I found myself getting stuck on architecture a lot which is can be frustrating. There were also a lot of big monsters in small rooms so you just stand in the doorway until they're all dead. That drags out the map and is not very challenging. Things I did like include the megasphere trap and the semi realistic detail at the start. It sort of goes into a trend of very basic rooms after that.

>>3327374
>>3327320
I died in the second map which had a megasphere trap like the first but cranked up to eleven. Really liked that. Really surprised me too.

>>3327294
You can do this in boom maps with line action 223 and 225.

How would you guys balance the Doom 2 weapons so the pistol isn't absolutely useless and the SSG doesn't make most weapons shitty compared to it?

Anyone remember The Funktasm and the weird way he RQ'd the community? It just hit me that he's the same guy as skaarjman, a dude who was working on an RPG mod with some pretty damned advanced features (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGGikLXeFIQ) until he similarly RQ'd with no reason. Pretty sure the guy isn't all that healthy.

Anyway, I still can't figure out how he made the text-input-to-acs thing shown in one of his videos work. Some of you regulars here have intimate knowledge of the engine, so perhaps one of you might have an idea.

-Skeleknights move faster and depending on the color of the axe they throw, they do a special effect. Homing axes are the rarest attack they can do
-Wizards can either do their spread attack or burst of 3 shots
-Jumping Sabreclaws
-Maulotaurs that throw their hammers, instakill damage
-Weredragons have a flamethrower attack similar to the tomed phoenix rod at close range
-Elemental Iron Liches, which is just a randomizer for the spawns of the Iron Liches (ex. the one in e1m8, that's where you fight the 4 elemental Iron liches). The 4 elemental liches are fire lich, ice lich, storm lich and steel lich
-The snake guards (or whatever they were called) attack like the arachnotron at low health.
-D'Sparil can detach himself from the serpent sometimes, while doing so he spams wizards like in his second form and teleports back to the serpent when pained.

There's some serious sam wads out there, which are either dm or half-implemented.
If you were to create straight level packs, you might have some issues. Between the infighting, less flexible enemy roster (ai is actually too complex for sam arenas, lol), and speed of doomguy being much faster than sam(trivializing projectile/enemy avoidance in arenas), it would prove difficult to emulate the experience. It would likely come out more like a traditional slaughtermap, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
If you were to make doomguys sprint faster than his walk but slower than his run, tweak some of the enemies, and maybe even disable infighting (should be a zdoom cvar), you may have a real winner. I've found both kleers and kamikazes in https://www.youtube.com/embed/zr5wjODtMes vid related.

here's the current progress of my Castlevania mod for Hexen:

Choose which marine you want to modify from this list:

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:Doom

Then make an actor like this (let say i chose "MarineShotgun") :


Actor NewShottyMarine : MarineShotgun 30000
{
Speed 35
Health 200
}

And that will make him pretty fast and have much more health. Essentially you "inherit" everything from the MarineShotgun class (thats what the ":" does in the first line) and you give him a new name (NewShottyMarine)
You then give him a number so you can actually place him in a map, he will appear under "decorate" instead of monsters in your list of things.
