How do I make my wad so that the player questions their own existence?
>>2935052
place 2 or more spawn points.
That way there will be other static models of the player around, and if you shoot them they will do damage to you.]
You could have them in all kinds of death traps and the player has to resist pulling any switches to complete the map.
>>2935063
that's actually a good idea
how do I use this shit?:

Sorry anon, but that's not very good. It's kinda bland, and I'm not talking about the looks.
Due to its convoluted triggers and button placements, though, it was pretty fun to route for speed.
>>2934942
I'm not an expert by any chance since normally I just start playing wads when I'm bored, but I recently found this which was pretty fun.
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/p-r/rrward02
>>2935063
That's actually pretty cool.
>>2935063
Or if you get a keycard or some important item, the other spawnpoints are ambushed by monsters and you have to protect them.

Need advice for gitting gud.
I haven't been playing very frequently at all, but I've been stuck on map 8 of Alien Vendetta for a while. I don't want to start resorting to saving mid-map, but I feel like I've attempted it so much that I just get impatient going through the same motions and let myself get fucked by dumb mistakes. The areas and traps aren't that bad individually, I'm just not used to enduring longer wads than in the base games.
AV is the first megawad I've attempted. I've played DOOM I & II a ton over the years - mostly on HMP, a few chapters on UV, then more recently did TNT and Plutonia on HMP. Felt like I got better after that, but I know the later AV maps get way longer and more intricate.
I guess what I'm asking is if I should just keep going at it, or try another megawad that's easier following up Plutonia. I just don't want to let myself lose interest.
>>2935214
>>2935187
>>2935215
Play through Doom 1 and 2 on Ultra Violence if you have to. Due to more enemies and even stronger ones appearing sooner you will have to make due with what you have.
Have fun with Thy Flesh Consumed.
Or just save, Doom has that feature for a reason.
>>2935215
Play some scythe2 or BTSX the go back to AV if you feel like it.
There's no shame in mid map saving anyway, the only reason I usually don't is that I think it's more fun that way. If you'd have more fun saving, just do it.

HOPELESS
hopeless.zip (50 KB, 1995-07-23) - Steve Worley
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=2735
first thing you notice - very spacious. despite over 200 monsters it feels quite empty. layout starts off well with big rooms and windows full of things to shoot at but devolves into mazes, waiting around for slow lifts, repeatable 30 second doors, and finishes with a million-mile run along a monotextured imp-filled avenue. before that, a switch quest to get all the keys. it wasn't too frustrating, but i'm not sure what some of them do or what the correct order to visit the areas is, i just kept going. i wish i'd had the yellow key before setting off for the exit, not sure what lowered that. ammunition is never a problem although a backpack would have been nice. there are no official secrets but there are secret places which are invisible on the automap. you are unlikely to find them unless you hump every misaligned texture.
i wanted to like this map, it started off well, and gave a good first impression, but ultimately i found it too slow and convoluted for replays. i imagine it might be more interesting to just run through it having dissected it in a map editor, and not trying to kill all the monsters, most of them you can just run past and be damned. the author practically begs you to try deathmatch on it, but i imagine the players would hardly ever even see each other, it's too big.
>>2935187
Blizzard-tier cyberdemon aside, I actually really like all the monster designs that id's been showing for Doom 4. And at least the cyberdemon looks a LITTLE cool.I like its design more than most.
Writing a string formatting function in ACS. It's pretty fucking challenging since I can't program. The idea is to make the sucky SetHudWrapWith function obsolete by inserting "\n"s into the string itself.
Also, anyone here played Terra Nova?
>>2935362
it's the closest one to what could be considered modern rendition of classic doom design. hopefully it doesn't get left out at release. I remember seeing this at time of doom 3 prerelease, but never found it in game.
>>2935379
That's actually really cool but really what other ways could you do the spider mastermind? It's a giant brain on mechanical legs with a fuck off face on it.
Then again I don't doubt Bethesda will somehow manage to fuck it right up.
>>2935075
>Sorry anon, but that's not very good.
no need to apologise, it wasn't intended as a recommendation. i just play stuff and post about it in the hope it is useful/interesting to others.
>>2935387
Bethesda still isn't developing the game.
>>2935403
I admit after the new Wolfenstein games I kind of had hope, they were good games. But I just get the feeling like Bethesda has had a lot more of their hands into a lot of the makings of Doom 4.
Something about it just screams to me of publishers wanting what's popular to make as much cash as possible. I think this largely has to do with the runaway popularity of brutal doom, now they seem to think all people care about is gross amounts of violence.
Metal as fuck
I'd like to point out how fucking pretty this game is.
>>2935451
>the baron design is actually not shit
>>2935410
After Since 2000, the only new games id has made are Doom 3 and Rage. Now all the founding members have quit too. So much time has passed that it's hard to expect anything
did doom 3 have any huge open areas? can't remember anything but some small martian surface pass after tutorial mission.

I really like this Mars a lot.
It's interesting how dark they made it, but if anything, it works way better than a bright, overly sunny desert Mars.
Not to mention how fucking pretty it makes all the buildings and lights look in the distance.

That's literally how Mars looked like in Doom 3.
I think it would be great if they include both day and night versions of the Mars

how do i disable the ingame speed modifier? i want to override it with my own speed but when i hit 0 stamina you can still keep running at the games own speed modifier
I'm finally playing through Scythe.
The last few levels are just doing my head in, I haven't been this frustrated with a WAD in ages. I managed to finaly beat fucking Run From It but I died as I went through the exit so I have the choice of either doing the next level from a pistol start, or doing Run From It again.
I'm all for difficulty but god damn.
>>2935713
I want this misconception that DOOM was an absolute rainbow of colors to end.
If anything, the new game looks far more colorful overall.
>>2935713
>I still do not like the facedesign
I do. But that's okay. We don't have to agree, anon.
can you recommend me some good music wads?
i used the PSX Music wad and it is very atmospheric. Makes TWIDT extra satanic but i need something more 'fun'.
>>2935717
all right you've beaten it once so i am giving you special one-time-only non-transferable permission to do the following.
start again but turn on no-clipping mode while you go up the staircase at the beginning. this will prevent the timer from starting.
then you can proceed to the exit at a more leisurely pace and go on to the next map without losing your stuff.
>>2935713
Is this better!?
>>2935738
I don't like cheating, even if it seems acceptable but I have never been good at the whole speedrunning thing. I always die right infront of the fucking exit or die on my way through (Which has happened to me twice now). I have had no problems up until now with this WAD but the gimmick on this level is just rustling my jimmies.
>>2935749
i agree it's an arse of a level and shouldn't have been in the regular set. in my opinion it should have been a skippable secret map. but here we are.
map29 is a really nice snowy city map. completely different to everything else in scythe e3.
>>2935735
i've had the demonsteele midi jukebox on autoload ever since it came out
great for corny slaughter sessions
it's really easy to modify too, i ended up making variations with 2spooky music
>>2935727
BUT MUH FIREBLU
>>2935727
Really depends on the level and area. Doom had bright colors, but if it were nothing but bright colors it would be an eyesore.
>>2935351
A fitting filename!
In all seriousness, though I liked the rounded corners in the maze, I don't see those too often.
Also it's funny how I had never realised that elevators could do more than 2 floors. I guess you don't pay attention to trivialities like that when you're actuallyhaving fun.

>>2935921
A few days ago they announced that they'd be collecting questions from the comments section of an article made for it on their site. No one asked about modding capabilities beyond SnapMap:
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/01/19/submit-your-questions-for-our-doom-podcast-with-game-director-marty-stratton.aspx
>>2935976
Gameinformer banned my country (as well as most of east and south-east europe) from viewing their content for some reason, so I can neither read nor comment on the articles.

how do i draw integer variables called HP and stamina as horizontal bars?

>Playing Doom 64 for the first time

Fucking lordie
>>2936136
Could hack around it and have an ACS loop giving out an inventory item so it's equal to their health/stamina. It's either that or make a bar-drawing function and that's a bit of a pain.
seems legit
>>2936145
>>2936145
At least he's discussing the games.
On topic, Burl Tumd is fun, but I hate how Archvile's fire hurts you before he even fully attacks, and how the Imp's fireballs can slightly home. And the Cacodemon's attacks acting as a flash bang just seems unnecessary.
The weapons are still fucking great though.
>>2936085
>Bosses are in the game, bosses won't be in SnapMap ("initially?"), reasons cited are "size" or their different AI/setup requirements to make the battles work
Makes sense. But we're not sure about the Cyberdemons or Barons of Hell being bosses since the Cyberdemon's been plastered everywhere, so it makes me wonder what the hell the actual bosses may be and if we'll encounter shit like the Guardian or encounter one of the alluded-to Titans
>>2935808
probably some editor function did that automatically. i doubt it was actual effort
I hope Sandy Petersen follows Romero and makes an actually good version of Nirvana

>>2936231
You can get the C&D'd beta which is still floating around. Mostly works just fine other than a couple of weird but minor mouse issues.
>>2936140
yeah thats the thing though, my stamina is a float and i really dont want to mess around with converting floats to inventory integers, so how do i go about making said bar-drawing function?
>>2936145
Because we let shitheads like you in.

Speaking of DoomRPG, have anybody ported DoomRPG and WolfRPG to PC?
>>2936241
You could always use looped acs script that looks something like:
SetHudSize(something,whatever);
SethudclipRect(0,0,health*stamina_per_bar_pixel,0);
SetFont("BigFatRedBar");
HudMessage(s:"A"; [horrible syntax]);
As in basically printing a long ass bar and masking parts of it out with SetHudClipRect.
>>2936274
>that one fucker that teleports behind you and kills you
Heh, nothing personnel
>>2936229
I never knew there was a Armageddon event, but then again that's what I always played on
Still wonder about the treasure event that was supposed to happen... I think...?
Decided to up my standard difficulty choice from HMP to UV when i started this wad.
I've slogged it through to map12 but i'm starting to think i wasn't ready.
I really don't know shit about how it'd be done technically, but could I use the sky texture used in episode 1 of Doom as a background?
The only resolutions I get from google are far to small to use as a background.
quick question, how do you check if a player is holding down a button (not merely pressing it once or barely just released it)
>>2936382
Like this?
>http://static.thousandwonders.net/Yangshuo.County.original.4414.jpg
It's the same actual place, if not the same shot/angle.
>>2936385
Which button? Like whatever he's bound to fire his weapon or a specific key like "k" or whatever?
>>2936415
yeah a custom button
>>2936410
Wow, I had no idea that it was based on an actual location.
But no, I want to use the texture the game uses, resized to something I could use as a wallpaper.
>>2936443
Well try googling "yangshuo" or "doom sky china" or something until you find it if possible. The Id guys scanned it from a coffeetable art/photo book or traveling guide I believe.
Why hasn't this been made yet?
>>2936461
Because internet celebrities tend to make for terrible mods.
>>2936440
That's a bit tricky. You need to make a keyconf lump where you make a new bind for something like
addmenukey "MyCommand" "+user1" (or user2, user3, or user4 - no more) then use an acs script to do something like
int buttons=getplayerinput(-1, INPUT_BUTTONS);
if(buttons & BT_USER1 && buttons & INPUT_OLDBUTTONS)
{
do stuff
}
>>2936382
Where is that from
>>2936458
>The Id guys scanned it from a coffeetable art/photo book or traveling guide I believe.
Just out of curiosity, where did you hear that?
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I heard it was off of a Multimedia Collection CD-ROM called "Media Clips" from ARIS Entertainment, circa 1992.
>>2936608
Oh, I was probably just wrong. I'm pretty sure they sourced at least one asset from such a book though.
>>2936613
The Lion, Satyr, Gargoyle, and some other Gothic textures were from a book called “Nightmares in the Sky - Gargoyles and Grotesques,” according to Doomworld user "Reinchard."
The Cacodemon was from the cover of some AD&D Campaign booklet, I think.
Also, got a hold of one of Aris' Media Clips discs, "The Best of Media Clips 2.0.1," from March 1994. Found the original image of that skybox. Here is the metadata. It was a 640x480 24-bit color TIFF format image and there was a copy in 8-bit (256 color) Windows bitmap format, same resolution.

>>2935921
>zero questions about modding
They had one job!
>>2936382
it's based upon a photograph of the landscape surrounding the Li River.
>>2936382
If this is what you were asking, the original texture is 256x128. There's not much that can be done besides NN upscaling, which should prevent it from getting filterered bilinearly when used as a wallpaper.
>>2936718
I also made a 16:9 crop. The original size is very unsuitable for this because it's so close to the next standard 16:9 resolution (2560x1440) that a lot gets lost in the cropping.

Just load the starter pack without Brutal Doom. You need either Doom 2 or Freedoom Phase 2, but either way the Starter Pack is nothing more than a map set that's designed with Brutal Doom in mind. Thus BD brings out some extra effects and fanciness here and there, but any gameplay wad is compatible with it otherwise.
>>2936934
Right now:
Going Down
Kuchitsu
Scythe
All in combination with Smooth Doom, but with the gore turned down or off or else it'Ddbe slowdown central.

You've misunderstood me, sorry.
The starter pack comes with what appears to be a different version of brutal doom, new hud and all that. I want to run the starter pack with the version of brutal doom without the new hud and all that ugly shit.
I've replacing the pk3 file with an older version, but that didn't work.
>>2936962
Strife is pretty cool, the story is like something from a 90s sci fi movie

>use nvidia screen resize to force 4:3 on my screen
>play doom in 16:10 resolutions stretched into 4:3
>looks perfectly fine
>>2936971
Ah, now I get it. Download Brutal Doom v20b, and get rid of the file you were using before, for the Starter Pack he probably packaged his HUD with it.
>>2936934
DTWID, No End In Sight and Eternal Torture
I love Doom 1 wads, they're comfy as fuck
>>2936990
They are. Make sure you play the DTWID : Lost Eps too.
>>2936989
There we go, I had to replace the pk3 and the doom 2 IWAD, not really sure why that worked but okay. The recital is still there, but I'm almost positive that can be disabled from the options menu. Thank you.

oh, well it didn't seem to be on /idgames, which usually means it's not finished or is still in testing.
This level has broken me down. I was actually shaking at the end.

More statues! Will be useful for the eventual vaporwave map.

maybe it's the black border, not sure

That's an awfully symmetrical map

That makes a surprising amount of sense.

What's the best Doom port to use on a Windows 98 computer?
>>2937357
It'll work though.
It was on the SNES, 32X, Playstation, Jaguar, etc.
>>2937368
It probably will but don't expect some magic there. It won't be like console games where the developers cleverly used dithering to get new colors. The experience will hardly be any better than with an lcd. You should probably try Doom64.

Daggerfall

>but don't expect some magic there
Not the same guy, I hate CRT screens, I'm just saying, it'll fly just fine.
Also lots of custom Doom content from back in the day used dithering (how well this worked is another question).
>>2936962
>I hate Half-Life and its ilk
>>2937309
I suppose so. I'd say the central area makes it look more so because the flow of the level is designed to be around it.
>>2935027
let's write doom music from doom 1 2 and let's try to guess each other songs.
I'll start:
song 1:
doom-dadoom, doom da----dom- DOOM DOOM, DOOM DOOM
doom-da da da doom, doom da da da doom, DOOM DA, DODODOOOM DA
song 2:
DODODODDODODO- doomdoomdoom dooom doom doom,doomdoomdoom dooom doom DOO, etc
>>2936276
that looks like ass to be honest
The soundfont that comes with PrBoom+ is quite good but are there even better ones?
>>2937450
Uh... could #2 be Suspence? I have no idea about #1.
Say, would there be any effective way to make a nightvision optic in ZDoom?
Like, iron-sights and scopes can be made, but could one make a scope and then somehow apply the nightvision effect available for the Lite Amp goggles?
Or otherwise apply an effect that lights up your surroundings and then apply some sort of colormap onto the screen while you're looking into the scope?
>>2937039
good
>>2937502
RGA2 does exactly that with sniper rifles upgraded with the thermal scope
>>2937514
Does it look any good?
Also, do you think there would be any way to imitate the distorted effect of the Thermal Optic you have in Resident Evil 4?
>>2936962
Yeah, I can't say that I enjoy Half-life either. I need some of that Heavy Metal or 2000AD vibe to fully enjoy a FPS. Half-life kinda helped kill that off.
>>2935921

What else would you expect from Cyriak ?
Has anyone checked out the Doom 2 Remap Project? As far as I know it's a single guy remastering the original maps to actually resemble what they should.
He's only done the first 10 maps so far but they're really well done, a lot of the old areas look fantastic and UAC-ish. There are also a lot of totally new areas (some good, some meh). It has some pacing issues but he's working on the maps first and gameplay later.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/doom-2-project-remap-v031
>>2937554
It's been driving me up the wall too.
Why can't they just deny or confirm modding?
Snapmap is not a substitute.
>>2937565
Okay, so what was the Gauntlet supposed to be, installation wise?
I've just tried an Oblige map. That was certainly interesting. I could tell while playing it that there wasn't any real thought behind the design of the level, but to be honest I've occasionally felt like that about some manmade maps. I wonder if you took out all the Oblige banners from it and passed it as a real map how many people it'd fool.
>>2937565
Does it require Brutal Doom?
>>2937582
only someone who';s never played an oblige map before. they're all the same in a way your brain can sense, after you've played two or three.
>>2937579
I just hope the editor does not just consist of prefabs
>>2937565
There was that one Russian guy who was giving the whole Doom 2 a decent GZDoom treatment. Last time I've seen he's been doing map 22.
>>2937582
No, it's doesn't require Brutal but I'm fairly sure it requires ZDoom or any Boom port
>>2937583
I imagine it would, generally that's how it goes with procedurally generated levels.
>>2937565
>>2937601
OK, I tried it with no other wads and it worked, just without all the fluff. I only played Map01. It seems nice, the new bits were good and the way they tie in to the original parts was clever. Some dubious design, for example it took me way too long to get a shotty just because I went one way instead of the other, and what's with a megaarmor pickup right after a green one?
Pic related was pretty cool though, a literal rain of fireballs (even if imps that far away means it's impossible to 100% the map). I also got those error markers in the sky, I don't know what they're supposed to be.
>>2937603
It definitely looks a lot better with the dhtp texture pack, I get the impression he's been mapping with them in mind.
And yeah, like I said, the pacing is bad in a lot of places where sometimes you can get good pickups straight off the bat, and other times you can get thrown into a slaughter pretty quickly - there's a new area in Map02 that has a giant teleporter to Hell that spawns about 150 to 200 monsters. It's still fun and I think he'll be coming back to correct these when the maps are done.
But yeah, it definitely could use a lot less ammo/weapon rooms and the new areas are literally totally optional - you can complete the levels without visiting them.
>>2937502
Yeah it's possible. What you do is you give the player the nightvision powerup, then you render 4 separate camera textures to the center of his hud and mask parts of each out with SetHudClipRect like pic related (grey blocks are camera textures)
>>2937623
Or on reading your most more closely, if you want to make it cover the whole screen just read: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=37011

>>2937625
>>2937623
Yeah I was actually thinking rendering a scope overlay with black around it, and then having some kind of lightmap or colormap applied while you're looking down the scope.
Actually rendering something as separate (the NV effect in the optic, and then a clear and visible outside), seems needlessly complex.
I'm sad that gloome doesn't seem to be actively developed any more. I hope it gets picked up again because some of the planned features would be amazing to work with, like the new/redone hudmessage stuff.
>>2935708
Going Down was by this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY
>>2935708
Yeah, you're better off muting most of it.
I'm new to doom, how do I play through the story co-op with buddies? We downloaded zdaemon, but when we'd choose co-op and go to the end of a mission and press the finish button and we'd just end up killing ourselves. Any kind anons willing to help?
>>2935368
Some progress with the line separator function. This is really a single line string and there's none of the built in wrapping functions being used.
Now I need it to only break the lines at space characters so words don't get broken up.
>>2937831
There's some sort of multiplayer options flag thing available right? You probably didn't check "allow level exit" or somesuch.
>>2937859
yes, I forgot to check that, thanks!
>>2937609
You weren't kidding. What the hell. How can a man have so many good ideas and so many awful ones, and cobble them together?
Honestly, that whole additional section in Map02 should be cut right before this mega imp spawn. There's nothing good past that point.
The added details to the existing areas are again pretty neat, although the sewers were a bit underwhelming and the red key building was pitch black for me, but that's probably because I'm missing some mod that makes light spread better.
By the way, the venice map I'm making? >>2937292
It actually adhere's to the 10242 rule. Which is why, instead of running through Venice's canals it's entirely set around a small villa of sorts, of which that hall is the main section.
I set myself the goal of having at least 100 monsters for HMP.
>>2937475
2nd one is correct, first one is from doom 2
>>2938112
Guessing the first one's D_STALKS (MAP02)
>>2937852
Going Down can be, yeah. For a more conventional (but still enjoyable) level of his, try The Eye.
>>2938137
I loved going down, a lot to be honest
>>2938162
Going Down is, along with Pirate Doom, one of my absolute favorite mapsets, it's just so gleefully mean-spirited and the maps are really pretty.
I'm new for multiplayer, what should I know before I join any server in order to not look like a complete newbie?
>>2938167
Go into a singleplayer Zandronum game and edit your name and things first off, so you don't look like a fucking chump, otherwise everyone will SSG your ass because they know you're easy frags.
>>2938167
Not much.
Say hi. Be polite. People will toss shit at you. Keep your cool.
Lots of Windows!!! for DOOMII
windows1.zip (42 KB, 1995-12-22) - Dave Johnson
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=4206
it's true, there are many windows between the rooms. which is good because otherwise it'd be just another bunch of rooms and halls. it has two nice open areas, the inner courtyard at the beginning and a large factory thing at the top, both surrounded by tracks with overlooking windows.
the secrets are pretty random, secret doors with misaligned textures. some of them open by themselves. they weren't hard to find. i stumbled over the exit unexpectedly, because i missed the second lift out of the north yard, and ended up finding the plasma gun with no monsters left alive. still, pretty good, though.
hah, i only just noticed this is by the same guy as shotgun.wad (from the last thread).
Why does no one(not just /vr/)play CTF?
It's the most rad gamemode.
>>2938340
I don't have sufficiently functional social functioning for team games.
>>2938360
This to be honest, and playing CTF with strangers is always a pain in the ass
>>2938340
Playing CTF with randoms is annoying. Playing CTF with friends is awesome.
>swinging doors with transparent textures like cage gates
Sadly not possible, right?
>>2938410
This is probably why right here, however, for me back when zandy was skulltag, I'd have a blast (most of the time) with CTF even when I was alone however this seems to be the other factor that feels as if stuff like AoW2/GvH sucked up most of the playerbase somehow, yet not even the same names of people went there from one or another.
Only time I had a problem was when pretty much obv tourny/clanfags showed up and ruined the fun turning games into a stomp everytime, shit gets boring when you're stomping or getting stomped
>>2937603
Its okay, but i thought it was a pain in the ass how he used mancubi and revenants so early in the game, also why the fuck give the player the plasma gun and so much fucking ammo? I could seriously just tank most ambushes without needing to give a fuck, and some of the extra areas just went for way too long, while some looked good, others looked like "my first map" tier, even for doom 2 standards, also what is this obsession with enemies trying to hit you from far away? Its like every level needs this one section with 60 imps trying to snipe you or 40 demons from nowhere, its just annoying
overral, the level design is kinda of cool, it can be annoyingly dark sometimes (which is fine) but he seriously needs to take it easy with enemy spawns, it surely doesn't feel like "realistic doom" and its far from balanced for this kind of gameplay, but its okay
>>2938481
from long experience it seems unwise to call anything in Doom outright impossible, but you are right to suggest it would be very difficult to achieve convincingly and without any truly convoluted hacks.
>>2938481
Do invisible polyobjects exist? If they do, you could use one along with a non-solid m3d model of your door made to swing along with the polyobject through ACS or Decorate.
Just found a DM server with this wad on. So much fun.
Anybody else play this recently?
>>2938551
Yeah but it's pretty imbalanced as fuck.
>>2938559
Yeah. Some servers can get pretty spammy with the characters, but it's still fun.
>>2938551
I thought it was neat at first, but I'm so fucking sick of this wad by now.
This, Complex Chillax, and that fucking Bagel Horde shit are the only three things at the top of Zandronum, ever.
