here is a demo for buttghost. i won't try to video it, since it is 27 minutes long. much of it was recorded with iddt*2.

http://temp-host.com/download.php?file=af58xx

issues:

1. the monster teleporter isn't very well designed and leads to stragglers. (sector 1004) in my game, a sergeant was missed.

2. going back for that sergeant at the end, i find i jump down the hole (and take a lot of damage, because no more radsuits) and then get stuck, because the big lift with all the crates on it (sector 787 etc.) only works once. and since i just jumped down a hole, i am now stuck forever.

3. i missed one secret (sector 928). from the look of it in an editor, there doesn't seem to be a way in at all?

4. the two lamps in sector 541 leave thin squares of light on the ceiling above them.

Fixed-ish. If the lift moves more than once, it breaks, so now a teleport opens when you walk up to the switch.
Due to the pipe room radsuit feeling a bit unnecessary, I've replaced all the nukage in that area with water, so you won't be forced into taking damage if you have a reason to go back. Unless you missed dudes in the sinking trap side passage, in which case bad luck because that area is supposed to make players rush and panic. I might even experiment with moving radsuits around to make it more restrictive without 100% leading to nukage damage.
>3. i missed one secret (sector 928). from the look of it in an editor, there doesn't seem to be a way in at all?
Straferun off the crates on the other side.
>4. the two lamps in sector 541 leave thin squares of light on the ceiling above them.
I wanna say "Oh well" because I was aware of this one, I just didn't particularly care, but given the flickering effect on them isn't especially noticable and the roof squares are, I'll remove it from the indoors lamps.

>>2830698
what

>>2830709
okay you're not too attached to the flickering, and i confess i didn't even notice it until i looked at the sectors in an editor. for future reference though, you can raise the ceilings of the bright sectors and leave the upper textures blank so the flats on either side bleed over the gap. this is sometimes called shadowcasting.

whitemare is mostly about winter but has some christmas trees in it. similarly nordhell (both versions, but the second nhell_d2 is better, with three maps). the rebirth has a secret snow level with snowman enemies.

oh, i forgot. the berserk secret counts as two secrets, both the outer ring and the pedestal. it's possible to go in, get the item, but not trigger the pedestal, so i suggest the pedestal's secret property be removed.

>If the lift moves more than once, it breaks, so now a teleport opens when you walk up to the switch.
this is fine, both scythe map29 and cchest2 use the same solution.

>Unless you missed dudes in the sinking trap side passage, in which case bad luck because that area is supposed to make players rush and panic.
i don't see a problem with that either, that part is a small side loop, not part of the main route through the map. thank you.

Underground Maelstrom
underg.zip (160 KB, 1995-09-22) - SiNGE (Nick Bousman) (With help from Fimm)
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=3337

this map is a huge (300+ monsters on UV) and goes on forever. it has some very attractive parts, i particularly liked the outdoor area with its red key tower and huge height difference. but its gameplay is essentially an eternal switch quest full of nasty and unforgiving traps. crushing ceilings, inescapable nukage pits, and memorably a false lift that leaves you trapped in a 64x64 square next to a baron.

at the start it is very short of ammunition and to a lesser extent health, i found myself having to punch several monsters without assistance. on replays you may know where a berserk box is to be found, though, and it is wise to head for it immediately, it makes the map much easier. throughout the map it remains fairly short on resources, right up until the end where it gives you basically every weapon, along with two soulsphere, a blue armour, and two partial invisibilities(!), to fight a single cyberdemon. this item placement seems rather naive to me.

the endless switch quest centres around seven eye switches which all have to be pressed to open the exit. i rather like this kind of thing (see e.g. epic2 map28). it also requires all three keys as part of this, and several more switches to lower silver bars strewn around the map. what i didn't like was getting the blue key, and descent a very long lift to one of the blue doors, only to find there were silver bars i didn't even know about beyond the door, forcing a lot of unnecessary backtracking.

in summary i think this is a large impressive-looking map for those who enjoy long exploratory treks. but it is let down by tedious or awkward gameplay in a lot of places.

I'm sorry, but I'll stick with Smooth Doom until this guy figures out what the fuck he's doing.

So I'm playing Quake for the first time (for reference: i played doom for the first time last year) and I am in no way enjoying this as much as I enjoyed Doom.
These enemies arent as great as the ones in Doom and the levels feels pretty small, both in room sizes and how large they get.
I also dont like the shotgun.

So I got myself one of these Splitfish FragChucks, thought it would be neat to play GZDoom with it, have mouselook along with analog stick movement, for very smooth gameplay.

Thing is, though GZDoom says it detects the controller in the Joystick menu, and allows me to define sensitivity and stuff, it doesn't actually accept any input from it.

GZDoom doesn't react to the analog stick, it doesn't allow me to bind any buttons to the FragChuck, I'm not sure if the thing installed it's drivers correctly (and I don't know where to find those drivers elsewhere), the manual for the the thing isn't really clear at all, when I try the inputs the reference sheet mentions (factory reset for instance), it doesn't do anything.

Anyone have any experience with one of these and willing to help me?

Set the axis's in the player menu. You don't set it in the controls menu

No, as in, GZDoom detects that the controller is there, but it doesn't take any input from it.

>>2831336
Yes. Set the axis's in the player menu. The dpad, joystick, and buttons function as axis's. Not as buttons

>>2831348
There's no options for that in the Player menu

You guys are really obsessed with this series, aren't you? I've never actually played any Doom titles before. FPS just isn't a genre that appeals to me. I nonetheless grabbed a ROM of the (decensoring-patched) GBA port of Doom and threw it on my Flash cart, since I didn't want to bother trying to get the DOS version working on my desktop.

For someone who doesn't normally get into FPS games, I've been enjoying it so far.

Yeah, the port of 2 is MUCH more complete, all the monster and levels are there, etc.

The AI is very limited though, it's the same, except that if you're far enough away, they literally do not perceive you in any way, you can shoot at them and they won't approach you until you're close enough. This can be abused to a certain extent.

turns out it actually works as expected. a transfer of a static light to a flickering sector ceiling is preserved. i thought the thinker might overwrite the transfer leaving it effectively ignored.

more interestingly you can transfer a flicker to a different ceiling, which results in the sectors' flicker being synchronised. a couple of threads ago i said this was impossible. turns out i was wrong.

>a couple of threads ago i said this was impossible.
clarification: "this" means making several fireflicker sectors flicker in sync. not transferring flicker.

>>2831482
we are not playing the same levels over and over for 20 years. that would be obsessive. new content is being made all the time, so there is always something to play / talk about.

In Zdoom and GZdoom you can do that by turning on the randomize pitches in sound options.
That will make every sound (monsters, weapons, items) randomly pitched, if that's what you're looking for.

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=10257

>>2831930
let's have a look at this. in the text file the author claims it's a "my house in doom" map that doesn't suck. i can only assume by this he means a "my house" map that isn't detailed like a 1994 map and instead looks semi-realistic, as the gameplay is as expected: lots of small, cramped rooms, with boxy detail that gets in the way.

monster count is low but so is ammunition. the start, especially, frustratingly makes you kill a dozen imps, troopers and even demons before it gives you a shotgun. after clearing the ground floor it becomes routine, even with the predictable archvile ending.

other than the top-heaviness it's not a terrible map. but the fact remains the concept of a "my house" map is i believe flawed because generally people's houses aren't good as layouts for doom maps.

footnote: i recall a "my house" map i posted about here a few months ago, flat-692, in which the author notes he realised the map was boring, and added a subterranean section. perhaps that would help here.

In terms of non bug/error-related feedback, there's no way to get back onto the island if you jump off, besides the south beach rocks. some little docks or something spread around the rest of the map (especially the north!) would be nice.

There were a few things that were obviously wrong like the power line that leads into nothing, I took them as just the WIP state of the map and that they were just being worked on. It's a really nice map so far!

Also I like this little light thing, I don't know what it is, but it's neat.

After the first episode, you're gonna be really disappointed in the rest of the game. The devs really stopped caring after that point.

One of the maps near the end even has a necessary-to-progress key hidden in an alcove that's a real pain in the ass to get to. That by itself isn't a bad thing, but the alcove is also marked as secret, a thing that's supposed to be strictly optional to map completion.

I haven't played in years and I only went through it once, so I can't recall other things, but I remember that the second and third episodes of Heretic are particularly unpolished, generally speaking.

I've been gone for about a year. I know I can just read the news but that's just recent stuff. What cool shit has happened in the last year? Anything new from /vr/?

>>2832443

But why?

>>2833098
Are there any available builds of GZDoom? I'm too lazy to learn how to compile it myself.

>>2833274

...You read the post, right?
For compatibility with gameplay mods.

>>2833274

Many gameplay mods, especially those that replace monsters for customized behavior, don't behave well with custom monsters.
DemonSteele won't get souls from them, Dreadnought's ice beam will become useless, Terrorist's taser won't do anything, etc.

Since this release is specifically designed for gameplay mods, it only makes sense to optimize for it by removing custom monsters.

>>2833308
Gameplay mods that have custom monsters would replace the Valiant monsters anyway if skillsaw used DECORATE instead of dehacked to replace things. This just screws up the experience for the weapon mods that don't use new monsters.

>>2833312
>>2833313
I guess there's the dehacked valiant monsters that replace non-monster objects, they can't really be left in.. I guess they have to be removed then. still, a version with just the custom weapons removed would be nice.

>>2833313
>if skillsaw used DECORATE instead of dehacked to replace things.

There's two problems with this.
One, Valiant doesn't only replace monsters, some of its Dehacked replaces objects as well. Which, well, would be a clusterfuck to handle in gameplay mods which are rife with replacements.
Two, the problem with that is that not all monster replacements are created equal. Some gameplay mods' SS Nazi replacements are jokes, some are serious, some are really weak, some are pretty tough. Including SS Nazis or Keens or whatever would turn encounters into a dice roll depending on the mod.

>This just screws up the experience for the weapon mods that don't use new monsters.

As a gameplay modder, please understand I'm fully aware of the irony when I say:
If you're playing it with a gameplay mod, you're probably already screwing up the intended experience.

>>2833319
>If you're playing it with a gameplay mod, you're probably already screwing up the intended experience.

In D2M1, there's a rocket launcher, you get two rockets, there's nothing in the level that makes sense shooting these rockets at, presumably you're meant to save them for later, as a bonus.

For some reason it seems bright as fuck, even when gamma is off. In fact, most Doom ports look bright as fuck on my computer, even with gamma set to off.

The id "pistol start" rule is less set in stone than Romero, Sandy and the others make it seem.

Wolfenstein 3D had a retail release with a huge guidebook detailing maps of every level and developer commentary, and there were even "level designer tips" in the margins for what to do to make your own levels great. Given the time period this was released, it's very probable that Doom was already in development at this time and they had already started implementing these.

The ethos of "pistol start" harkens back to the original game--when you die, you lose all your fancy cool shit, period. This is your punishment for death. This is also why every level was tested as a pistol start--because if the level relies on you having equipment from a previous level not found in this level, then you will be fucked from pistol start. They also did not always know what order the levels would be in, so they had to make sure you could complete them in any order if they were moved around.
However, you're right--carrying over weapons is definitely an intended feature of the game, but it also breaks the balance slightly. I think the idea is wholly that a new player will be entering a new level sight unseen, and is very likely to get their ass handed to them, killing them and forcing them to pistol start. Sandy and others these days acknowledge that the game is probably too easy if you don't pistol start every level, and early players agreed--in the early builds, UV was the maximum difficulty; Nightmare was added later and obviously has -fast parameters plus respawning monsters, so it's definitely more of a challenge than UV is, and is probably more suited to non-pistol-start play.

I had a long moment wondering if you somehow typo'd E2M1 before realizing you meant Doom 2 MAP01. The proper nomenclature for Doom 2 maps is not "Doom2Map1" but rather just "MAP01," "MAP07," "MAP32."

for me: 3x100% (or as near as possible) from pistol start, no saves, on some skill level. i don't care about the time.

there's that group of imps in another secret sector. one-shotting the whole lot with a single rocket as soon as you strafe out of the door is so satisfying.

Honestly, I consider pistol starting vs carryover similar to something like 1CCing a shmup vs using continues. While the game certainly allows you to get to the end using multiple continues, the real dynamism of the game can only be experienced when you allow yourself to be restricted.

Other than the literal architecture, the pacing of a level is determined by when weapons are given to the player, how much ammo and health they're allotted, and where enemies are in relation to all of those things. Resource management compels the player to exploit infighting, prioritize certain enemies and encounters, and really seek through a level to get as many upper hands as possible. Carryover removes the need to really think about any of those things, and makes an overall easier but less dynamic experience. A level that once contained peaks and valleys of tension now is one long plateau of "use the SSG unless you need rockets or the BFG."

Pistol starting every level totally changed how I experienced Doom 1 and 2, and I can't see myself going back (unless a map pack requires carryover, of course). It's much less homogeneous, and way more exciting.

I don't know what >>2832318 is talking about, episodes 2 and 3 have some very nice level design most of the time, although sometimes the levels can look really bland. Episode 3 in general especially is really cool
And yea, the weapons sound/feel/look like shit. I'm still waiting for someone to make a Smooth Doom equivalent of Heretic.
