>>11156975>that picOh no.
>>11156991Need more gifs of retro FPS monsters dancing
I was just playing through Doom 1 in KEX Doom, and none of the backpacks doubled my max ammo. Did anyone else notice this?
>>11156989Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it.
>>11157002Haven't played but that would be embarassing
>>11156938>dude stop fixing the bugs!!Imagine being this absolute retard
>>11157004It seems to be working now when I test it. Wish I clipped the issue.
>>11157002They work as intended for me
>>11157002were you pistol starting? if so, I heard that happenskekdive...
>>11157020I noticed during E2, I was doing pistol starts and started it with the "new game" option. Might have just been a one-off oddity.
>>11156742this is my dog taking a shit
>>11156975imagine the smell
>>11157002Know bug if your using the pistol start difficulty modifier
>>11157039Interesting. I can't reproduce it when I want, but it happened on multiple maps in Doom 1 E2.
>>11157043From my own experience, if you pick up a backpack and leave the level with it, any other backpacks you pick up later will not double you ammo count unless you die. Some check that says you picked up the backpack isn't properly resetting between levels when using pistol start.
All of that new ID24 stuff looks neat. Can't wait for most modern sourceports to adopt it.>look at stupid DW drama...Or not.Maybe I should just map in UDMF if I want that many cool features, because it seems both formats are going to be limited to a small number of ports anyways.
>>11157063>if you pick up a backpack and leave the level with it, any other backpacks you pick up later will not double you ammo count unless you dieYup, that's the issue. How the fuck did they miss that?
I hope that other WADs can start taking advantage of the Legacy of Rust textures
>>11156989>>11157003What the fuck?&-
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get custom properties on actors working in ZscriptHere is the simplest version of what I'm trying to achieve. Basically the code reacts to enemies dying, and if there is a plant in a radius, a custom message tied to the plant is logged. Everything else in the code works except the custom string property. I Used this documentation as a referencehttps://zdoom.org/wiki/ZScript_custom_propertieshttps://pastebin.com/WxKm9fgcResults in 'unknown identifier PlantMessage' and a failure to compileHere's another variant I tried that mimics the syntax of the 'Obituary' property in the Zscript source code (since the documentation is ass)https://pastebin.com/2Cwv6bETResults inclasstest.pk3:zscript.txt, line 21: '@property@PlantMessage' is an unknown actor propertyWhat the hell am I doing wrong here? There's nothing else in the mod except a mapinfo (for the event handler) and a picture of a plant btw, just to remove any and all other variables
>>11155479>Barrels o' Fun's first rooms are unbalanced as fuck from a pistol start, so don't feel bad about itIt's challenging, but I wouldn't say unbalanced
>>11157082My guess is they didn't simply code it to treat every level as if you idclev'd or died and restarted, and instead, made separate coding for resetting your health and inventory directly, but didn't take into account for the fact that backpacks only increase your max ammo the first time you pick one up in a single continuous life.
I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to complete Legacy of Rust's final map, 'Brink' on Ultra-Violence.The last section with something like 28 Tyrants all at once comes across as impossible. I can maybe take out a third of them before a random missile hits me. I'm sure someone found a trick, but it's coming across as blind luck at the moment.
>>11157118Pick a side. Charge up to 4 or 5 and hit the middle one. That should clear out that room. Then use 3-charges for the rest of the group. It becomes much more manageable once you clear out one side because missiles will only be coming from one side.But it's still total trial & error.
>>11157117That seems like an obvious flag to uncheck when implementing a pistol start option. Seems like a lack of testing beyond a couple of maps in a row. Backpacks never really come up early or frequently in the IWADs.It reminds me of Dusk, where the pistol start option is just worse than backing out to the level select screen.
>>11157118It was definitely annoying, but I managed to do it by focusing one side, while letting the other side get closer to the middle. once most of them are in the middle, it becomes a lot easier to handle.
>>11156989I see nothing
>>11157087these recordings made me notice everybody lives with their head tilted to one side
>>11157123>>11157128Thanks for the tips. I might just be charging the Calamity Blade too long. Do we know if each shot does the same damage regardless of whether you charge it for longer? I know the width increases, but unsure of the actual damage of each portion of said wave.
>>11157140>Do we know if each shot does the same damage regardless of whether you charge it for longer?Yes, it just creates more projectiles. But if you're close enough to something, those 15 projectiles are going to hurt.
>>11157118I would throw a small to medium sized shot (2-4 charge) into one of the doors as it opened to clear that room, and then would use the closest nuke rocket as cover from tyrants on the other side as I started shooting at the tyrants near me. I think they have Barron health so a double charge can kill one if you can get close, but you’re keeping distance so you might need to fling two three single shots at a target depending on RNG rolls. Though that’s with my limited knowledge on the calamity and tyrants so I don’t know if I’m optimally doing things right.
>>11157143Yep, but the projections spawn from a single point, so if you’re close, all those projectiles will shred anything close enough before it spreads. It’s like a reverse BFG in a sense.
>>11157148>It’s like a reverse BFG in a sense.It has a similar use, but with a windup. You still want to get in something's face with the BFG.But you can still just single-tap the blade for respectable damage relative to its ammo cost. Ripper projectiles are great.
I want to hack Sigil with Doom 2 monsters. Is it actually possible? What's the necessary wads to load?
>>11157159Yeah the windup was a hurdle I noticed when I was trying to single shot Vasagos with a double charge. Something like a Cyber seems too unpredictable to single shot but I’ve not done much battle testing to really verify that.
>>11157169I wouldn't say they're any less predictable, arguably moreso because they get locked in their attack animation for 3 projectiles every time. But it is way more punishing to get hit by them and more difficult to dodge, especially in large numbers.
Tried the new ports and I feel like i'm getting stuck on geometry more than usual, sounds keep cutting out, especially on the new episode. Back to GZ i go.
Does Legacy of Rust work with gzdoom?
>>11156979>Doom 2 gets another ray tracing modI like what these brightmaps are doing
Im getting into making maps and I want to improve but Im having issues with retarded shit like not creating properly evenly sided geometry, especially shit like octagons hexagons etc. Any tips for making geometry look proper?
>>11157193Looks good. Wish I could play it without it crashing immediately.
>>11157196Assuming Doom Builder:>Click mode>Draw ellipse mode>change the number of sides to whatever shape you want to create>click and choose the size of your shape
>>11157207I've been using an ancient version of doombuilder, never thought to try ultimate, holy shit man that helps a ton. thanks
>>11157082They missed a alot of things as it turns out, Boom features not working as they should, Vanilla behavior being enforced in non-vanilla wads which breaks maps, Some maps crashes the game, apparently mouse sensitivity is tied to FPS too.
>>11157221>I've been using an ancient version of doom, never thought to try ultimate, holy shit man that helps a ton. thanksOne small edit makes your post sound a little bit more ridiculous.
>>11157235>open sunlust's god machine through Kek engine>finale with the pain elementals spitting out like 743 lost souls doesnt happen because its locked to the 21 lost souls hard limitHonestly I should have also checked to see if the cyber telefrag works too
>>11157095The first pastebin link is correct, but fails to compile because of the code in the handler. You're not casting to TalkingPlant, so "other" doesn't know it has the PlantMessage variable.>let plant = TalkingPlant(other);>if (plant) { string message = plant.PlantMessage; break; }Although you have a separate logical problem in that the message assignment doesn't do anything because it's a local variable that immediately goes out of scope unused. What is it that you are trying to achieve?
>>11156989it wasn't just me then
>>11157189Mostly. 4.13p95 handles everything except the ID24 features, earlier builds of 4.13 break the Vassago fire pool and Banshee explosion. I had some secret wall issues on my early build of 4.13, but that could have just been me being retarded.
>>11157118this sprite is so fucking ugly wtf
>>11156927>What if it was just a Morrowind-themed, episode-sized campaign?I'd still want full weapon, enemy, and asset replacers even if it mostly feels like regular Quake otherwise. Maybe just my tism.Speaking of tism, I've actually thought about the full potential of this rabbit hole a little and something of a scope akin to Battlespire (i.e. limited character customization with skills and levelups, but a linear level progression) should be possible in vanilla QuakeC. Inventory items can be done to an extent, though they're tricky since all of a player's info has to be condensed into 16 24-bit values for cross-level transfer, so things like enchantments would have to be very simple. Of course, you can store multiple stats per value via various math tricks.There should be enough cvars to comfortably store things like quest flags, gameplay modifiers, limited AI companion stats (i.e. what kind of companion from a numbered list and how much health they have left), and other cross-level stuff not specific to a player since such values aren't likely to be big and some of them can be wiped and reused for something else after certain points.Character sheets and inventory screens can be done by loading a BSP box for each player outside of the map (determined by the map's bounding box size), placing dummy entities in it to represent the player character and items, setting the player camera to look at it, and using some custom impulse commands to navigate and interact with it. An interactive map could be possible by similar means, but it would require smaller scale versions of every level to be made with secret areas and other temporarily obscured sections as separate BSP models with corresponding triggers to enable.All that stuff aside, it's just a matter of it feel less jank than a Bethesda game as well as actually challenging because >>11156968 makes a good point despite just trying to be funny.Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, outlander.
Some things I learned about the new port by trying 512 Linedefs of /vr/>mp3 music does not work for some reason, but tracker music does>MIDIs in general are kinda ass>The inverted controls section in MAP07 is expectedly broken
>>11156992>drama terrible>mostly mappers complainingIt knows.
>>11157082Eh, it's not like anyone who knows what they're doing will be using the new port anyway.
>>11156975>"one of the levels kinda look like cock but cool 5/5" - idgames reviewer
>>11157250Cyber telefrag should work in vanilla. Might break in MBF21 though, since it learned to discriminate between monster spawner and teleport.
>>11157126>Dusk, where the pistol start option is just worse than backing out to the level select screen.did you mean intruder mode? what's wrong with it?
>>11157379nta, I'd play that.
call it autism but damn did it bother me when the MSX nail shotgun in the fixed version would play the chambering animation at the end of reloading regardless of if it was empty beforehand anyway if any1 needs it heres a fixhttps://files.catbox.moe/wnmycv.pk3
Thoughts on Doom retro?
>>11157018It's a pistol start issue I think. Someone else mentioned it.
>>11157005Revenant missile behavior is bugged and everyone gets pissed if you fix it.
>>11157130hello.wad
>>11157193Somewhat nifty, but you could craft lighting like that for a fraction of the hardware overhead.
>>11157372Doesn't it look just dogshit?They should have just tried to do a Cyber Baron or something.>smaller so he fits more places>doesn't look like a Cyberdemon except lobotomized and fucking retarded>could make him fire one rocket at a time, maybe a 50% chance to fire a second one right after, then make him always try to retaliate with a green fireball upon painstateNot necessarily this exact graphic, but it wouldn't be THAT hard to cook up something similar, only better.
>>11157379I have a personal theory that what you're describing is basically what Raven was going for with Hecatomb - the original Hexen 2 before Activision told them to treat Heretic and Hexen as separate IPs. Apparently Hecatomb was going to feature a quasi-open world made of multiple hubs connected to one big central castle, a hub of hubs which you'd return to in the end (I guess this would make it a sort of metroidvania fps? I'd really like to see that.)Some ideas did make it into Hexen 2: it got a rudimentary levelling system and a simple inventory for equipment and key items; if it also had NPCs to speak to, sidequests beyond the main Objectives log, and more interconnected levels, it would be a fully-fledged, if barebones, RPG experience.Can't say how doable this is in QuakeC since I've never used it so far, but most of the world interaction side of things could probably be faked if Quake had triggers and env_globals like Half-Life. Didn't progs_dump 3 and on feature something like that?Anyway, If you're gonna try to make something like that, I wish you good luck, sera. I'd like to ramble more as I've been pondering this sort of thing for a while too, but I really gotta sleep. I'll just wrap this up with one more stray thought: if Battlespire had been made today, it would probably be a standalone GZDoom TC like, say, Hedon or Hands of Necromancy.
>>11157173That's just vanilla behaviour that GZDoom corrects. It's the superior port if jank is not your thing.
>>11157576Bait port because of the name and mostly useless. Not demo compatible like the authentic ports and lacks the advanced features of GZDoom.
>>11157610Eviternity already had a cool Cyber Baron model, but I get it, they can't just rip that off.
I LIVE, AGAIN
Has anyone Ever tried to rip off the textures and sprites off the DOS Jurassic park game?https://youtu.be/nm_D_6r_Qu0?t=2524
Were there any games using SoF-like body dismemberment but with Quake's pace?Is it possible, in theory, to hack together something functional like shooting an ogre's chainsaw arm off?
>>11157692Yeah that was quite the lull
>>11157382He regularly guts features because his intended audience(the minority of users) don't use them.
>>11157398>The inverted controls section in MAP07 is expectedly brokenCan the kek port not into complevels?
>>11157740Things really do have a bit too much health in Unreal.
>>11157748Lot of Boom features don't work like they should. Friction seems to be fucked as well, which is what 512 Linedef's MAP07 uses. Anything from BOOMEDIT.wad seems to work fine.
Unreal is crapProve me wrong
>>11156468It is pretty weird how they left out those broken spots when Quake & Quake 2 didn't shy away from switching things up on some maps. Might've as well fixed it all, especially since old untouched WADs will still carry over in DOS part of the package.>>11156938>Stop playing retro games on literal toastersSweet brain damage.>>11157592...okay, that's fair I guess. And (if I recall correctly) demos situation isn't that great on Quake's re-releases either due to some under the hood changes.
>>11157813Depends on the dudes, but there’s not many per level.The game also have some of the most understated enemy AI I’ve played in nearly all of these shooters and that helps to keep it very entertaining. It’s still the exact opposite of what Doomers prefer.
>>11156975The id Deathmatch pack 1 isn't in the repo, anybody has it or it can't be ripped?
>>11157846https://files.catbox.moe/eiefi8.zip
Are there any good resources out there for learning how to texture/sprite for Doom?I have ideas™ for a TC and mapping, weapon design, monster design and the like is all stuff I can figure out, but the graphics are kind of a barrier for me
Some thoughts on Legacy Of Rust, from what I've played so far.E1M1 was alright, kinda boring even at first, but it picks up a little as it goes. I really don't have too much to say about this level, for the most part it's a very "Adequate MAP01" feel to it, though the hell portal makes for a pretty cool visual, not so much for the portal structure itself or the annoying loud noise, but how sky transfer is used so you can truly see the other world through it.E1M2 picks up the pace a LOT. The environment is neat and hellish, using some of the 'new' textures well, and has cool structures around, like some kind of train bridge running above the bloody hell gulches where you're fighting. I like the warped clumps of damned souls and the little caverns with blazing red fire where enemies shoot out from or come crawling out of.The combat really ramps up by the Hemoelectric Dam, and it's fun, with the first level was afraid it was gonna go really soft on me, but it's getting really exciting here. I love the maneuvering around, rushing to move myself behind a pillar as I hear a ball of death from the Revenants slam into my cover, then I rush back out blasting rockets.It keeps getting spicy inside the Hemoelectric Dam, introducing the screaming fuckfaces. I'm kind of glad that they constantly scream so that can gauge their whereabouts and distance by that.The exploration is quite decent, there's many secrets in this map, including a secret exit to a secret level.So for a start, my impression has been mostly good, but I guess I'll see how it holds up.
>>11157840I like Unreal too, you don't need to sell it to me. I still feel like I am always low on ammo and a few of the weapons don't work too well with all the enemy dodging.
>>11157875>Hemoelectric DamOh you
>>11156975Still beating Knee Deep in KDiZD with Chocolate Doom. Used Magpie to apply some shader settings I used extensively when playing LoZ:LttP on SNES emulator.I found that when you take initial picture and upscale it though HqX or any other Pixel-art scaling algorithm - only then you can apply CRT effects (I use CRT-Geom). Scaling algorithms apply good amount of smoothing which CRT shaders need to look convincing.
>>11157082Port got rushed + Boom and MBF have notoriously shitty specification documentation. Boom at least has a test map, MBF has nothing iirc. Hopefully the implementation of these both gets better.
>>11157732There are a few Darkplaces mods like Q1.5 and SMC that feature headshot death animations, but I don't know if there's a hitbox causing that or if it's just played at random when using the shotgun.
>>11157895https://youtu.be/TbUwV5hMIwk?si=2eB8SVZnbfCmtG8KMBF demo wad
>>11157918https://soulsphere.org/projects/boomref/mbfedit.html
>>11157193Wasn't there a vkdoom mod that did that already?
>>11157875E1M3 has some seriously vicious monster placement, including a very close quarter baron + beta soul encounter.
>>11157918>>11157925Well, I'll be! Thanks a lot for sharing links.
>>11157878Projectile weapons always take some more effort or a closer range against fast and unpredictable enemies, and the skaarj are really the only enemies like that: Brutes, slith, and krall are a lot slower.
>>11157981カコちゃんかわい
>>11157981for a smushed potato caleb looks a little too good here
>>11157981>This is what the thirsty female demons of Hell actually believe. Also a lot of the male ones.
>>11157981Eeew. Sometimes the art screams "fujo" way too much. And even bishonen shit aside Doomguy and Caleb sholudn't be handsome.At least the Ranger is not there

>>11158028there's nothing to be ashamed vore-chan
>>11158028Does he go HUH when he thrusts?
>>11158021Nothing wrong with prettyboy heroes.
>>11157298Thanks. For now in just trying to get the message to use later in the handler. Again I wanted to boil it down to where the problem was so it would be easier to post here. But im guessing the main problem is that “other” doesn’t return a “Plant” object but a base “actor” object that doesn’t have access to those properties?
This is a good combo.
>>11158021I mean, it WAS drawn by a fujo. Just one who happens to love Doom for some weird reason.Is JPCP2 coming out soon, by the way? I heard they announced it years ago.
>>11158049What the ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT MUGSHOT
>>11157082Because pistol starting is a meme
>>11157861Can you draw?Can you operate any kind of picture manipulation program?Are you not just an ideas guy?If you can answer all of these questions with a "Yes", then you already know everything you need.
>>11158052Yeah it's not great. The side hair just ends up looking like mutton chops sometimes. The player sprite is also not good, so I replaced it with the girl raider from Ashes.
I'm playing Legacy Of Rust with dsda but the game sometimes freezes, and when I load some saves the game freezes at the same moment.Is anyone else having similar problems?
>>11157576If you are not interested in speedrunning, multiplayer, or ZDoom features, it's a capable and stylish port with the best software renderer around. It can run Boom and MBF21 map and any DEHACKED or DEHEXTRA patch under the sun. It has effects like blood splatters and waves for liquid flats that look great, don't dilute Doom's essence, and can be toggled.
>>11158042Pretty much. If a variable is of type Actor, it'll only have access to methods and fields declared in Actor. Typecasting is necessary when you need to access things that are defined in derived classes, like TalkingPlant.
What were this general's reactions like when NightDive changed a bunch of stuff for Quake 2 such as adding new attack patterns for Berserkers? Did the folks here think they're acceptable? Did they hate the changes? Did they simply not care because >quake2?
>>11158114The berserker changes are alright, but I don’t like the parasite and flyer changes or some of the weapon changes. It got a lot of people to play Q2 beyond the original levels, got people to have fun with it, has a way to play all of Q264, new levels are fun, and overall it’s a fun time. I still prefer modded KmQ2.
>>11158114I remember people mostly liking it, because it at least gave the combat a pulse. Nobody liked the railgun nerf though, and the arrogant fuck devs heard everyone complaining about it and still refused to fully fix the issue.
>>11158114Opinions on Quake 2 have always been mixed here, some who didn't much care for Quake 2 liked the changes, some who did like Quake 2 also liked the changes. Some didn't like the changes.Some changes were mainly liked, like improving the AI, while some were not taken so fondly, like nerfing the railgun's damage, even though the improved AI means you almost never get the stealth damage bonus which makes it so powerful in the original game.
>>11157747>uses a port called DSDA>gets upset because it keeps being aimed at speedrunnerslol
>>11158136If I were kraf I'd just troll the shit out of my unintended fans and tell them to make their own fork.
>>11158151Isn't that basically the point of Nugget?
>>11158124>>railgun stealth damage buff is considered a problem>>the solution? Nerf its overall damage and not the stealth damage buffWas this seriously their thought process when nerfing it?
>that E1 endingbullshit, i could've taken down those demons easily with the new bfg and the invulnerability
>>11158159I guess? I've been using woof all this time. I was just thinking of funnier ways to handle DSDA's ENDOOM drama like "Hey guys, I've recognized your very strong opinions on the removal of ENDOOM from my port. With careful consideration and taking your views into account, I have decided to not only keep this change, but also remove intermission screens as well! Thank you for your support!" instead of the alternative
>>11157638Well, multi-level hubs (or anything where you go BACK to a previous level with the state of all its entities being saved) wouldn't be possible outside of FTE, but you can get around that simply by having really fucking big maps since that's the one thing modern sourceports have been pressured into supporting. Some people might cringe at that after having experienced some more recent Quake releases, but I think cleverness of design can counteract issues of scale.>world interaction side of things could probably be faked if Quake had triggers and env_globals like Half-Life. Didn't progs_dump 3 and on feature something like that?Yes, you can code triggers that can save values to cvars that persist cross-level. There's also the non-cvar but still persistent value of 'serverflags' that vanilla Quake uses for saving runes, and I think progs_dump uses for flagging if the player should use an alternate spawnpoint on the next map.Weirdly, Scourge of Armagon actually added a bunch of superfluous cvars that can be used for this (scratch1-4, saved1-4, savedgamecfg) that every sourceport still has despite them being unused in that expansion.>Anyway, If you're gonna try to make something like that, I wish you good luckMaybe eventually, but I'd need a team of fellow autists for something that big - especially on the mapping side of things.Still fun to plan out the technical details of it though.
>>11158168The stealth damage bonus still exists in the altered game, but while originally you could get it very often with opening attacks, the new AI is much more alert meaning that it's very hard to actually get it now, which I think is the appropriate nerf, where you can still actually get that goodness if you do things JUST right.However, the base damage of the railgun then also being reduced really hurts its ability to perform as a non-stealth combat weapon as intended, and it's just shitting on a good and fun weapon which otherwise was balanced fine.Railguns deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
>>11157683The flamethrower is suspiciously close to the one in Heartland
>>11157680>Heartlandis that ever going to work with other ports?
>>11158124Quake 3 is better than Quake 2 in every way.
>>11158220What about as a single player game?
>>11158220Not really, Quake 3 is missing some of the fun weapons from Quake 2, and Quake 2's multiplayer deathmatch is basically as good as Quake 3's.>>11158230Quake 3 isn't really a singleplayer game so it can't be compared, its singleplayer is nothing but emulated multiplayer deathmatch with bots.
Finally finished space cats saga. It's sad that it is another wad that exists to flex the programming skills of the makers because holy shit those maps are garbage.Some cute art tho
How much porn did Carmack watch before he discovered the relationship between game stories and porn movie stories? I imagine it must have been quite a lot. Do you know what kind of porn it was? I'm just starting my own game and am not sure how much porn I should watch before starting the story
>>11158248>Quake 3 is missing some of the fun weapons from Quake 2and Quake 2 is missing the lightning gun, an actual weapon
>>11158274While I can't possibly know John Carmack's wanking habits, I will say that if you really want to walk in his footsteps you should seek out material from the 80s and early 90s for an authentic experience. It was better back then anyway.
>>11158274
>>11158274At least 50 gigs of footage from the 80s/90s.He also imported from Japan during that time. Good luck.
>>11158257Was kinda interested in it but I don't know, it never grabbed my attention past the hot space catgirl thing. Seemed too much like "look what I can do in GZ!" and not enough fun, plus the actual sprites were just inconsistent and kinda ugly.
Any recent schizowads?
>>11158309https://doomwiki.org/wiki/CBM
>>11158304>seemed too much like "look what I can do in GZ!" and not enough fun, plus the actual sprites were just inconsistent and kinda uglyThat's exactly it. The monster colors are garish as hell and mix into the background too often, the maps are 60 to 80% too large and the vast majority of them are spent in darkness or obstructed by "vegetation" so you can't see shit anyway.But hey, you can use the characters in other wads, even if the weapon balancing is wild.
>>11158309Yes. Yes sir. In fact, one released this very week.https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/146960-test-map01-map03-updted813/This is one of those guys who makes shitty awful maps and thinks they're art, so probably not a schizowad in the true sense but he forgot to take his meds anyway. This fucker ONLY makes this sort of thing.>>11158316Yeah, I remember the balancing was wild even when it was just a mod. Either way, not about to try it and find out.
Some of these Retro Jam maps are... unique. I'm still glad new mappers are giving it a go, though. The community needs new people. A few too many huge empty rooms for my liking in places though.
This map was cool, even if that final fight was a giant clusterfuck and once the monsters were dead the "evil queen" (vore) could be cheesed due to the mini pillars on the side of her platform detonating her balls the moment she threw them at certain angles.
>>11158340>The community needs new peopleIs there such a thing as inbred maps?
>>11158349Do you really want every single Jamp and mapset to be made by the same handful of guys from Slipseer? I have no problem with them, but they do make the same kinds of maps each time and it would be nice to see more people making levels.
Just beat Legacy of Rust on UV. How the in the fuck is anyone supposed to beat the last two levels without saving? I never ever use saves but I said fuck that for those two.
>>11158352>I never ever use saves but I said fuck that for those two.Anon, you understand that no saving is a challenge thing you work up to, and even most good players do practice runs with saves?
>>11158353>no saving is a challenge thing you work up toyou can complete most maps without saving simply due to having experience with encounters and combat in generalwhat do you think CAUSES one to save before a map segment? lack of skill? for a person who finished over a hundred wads?or maybe, well, surely there's no chance that's true, but MAYBE it's shitty level design?
>>11158353If your campaign is well designed no save runs should already be the default way to play.
>>11158352By using saves during practice, and then do it for real under a demo recording so I don’t accidentally impulse save or something.I’ve beat a fair amount of 25 minute levels, so this wouldn’t be a grind, even with that tyrant den at the end.
>>11158351>Do you really want every single Jamp and mapset to be made by the same handful of guys from Slipseer?Ugh, not particularly, no. Those faggots have been a disaster for whats left of the Quake mapping community. Drama fucking everywhere and they're only using Quake for a desperate attempt to get jobs in the industry. Plus constant modern politics.
>>11158363The worst aspect of the final map is the 30-second runup before you're able to actually do anything.
>>11158360> If your campaign is well designed no save runs should already be the default way to play.That’s horribly limiting belief that prevents someone’s skill from improving.
>>11158360Eh, I don't get it, but then I play for fun and don't really have anything to prove. It can be a neat challenge, but people who get frustrated and complain about how hard a map is because they call saving "cheating" and such get no sympathy from me at all.
>>11158368It also limits your options to less than half of the IWADs if we're strictly speaking of Doom.Play better, nerds.
>>11158367What run-up? I think I already forgot because I only remember the fights at this point.
>>11158374This one
>watch romero play through a meme map>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIl_TqFJNO8>keeps hitting use on everything>delays shots for no reason>bumps into every objectis this how you're supposed to play doom?
>>11158379The boomer mind cannot comprehend the zoomer map.
>>11158379You forgot the use of filters.
>>11158378Oh yeah I know what you mean.Yeah those always suck. That was God Machine’s second worst bit right behind the Cathedral fight.
>>11158389It just shows a lack of respect for the player.
>>11158392I wouldn’t go so far and say it’s that much of a slight.
>>11158193I wasn’t feeling confident in their initial balancing decisions, and then they went and reverted the nerf by having it be 125 a hit rather than 100. They’re either acting goofy or someone there hates the weapon concept.>>11158360It might also mean the campaign was too easy.
>>11158385Yes, and I also forgot to mention how he spends around half an hour repeatedly trying to make a jump he knows is impossible, without even saving.Is he demented or just old?
>>11158368retard
Why no more updates for DoomRPG and DoomRLA?
>>11158424I see that your passion is to be self-limiting.
>>11156992>turok lets /v/ dieHe would, and he'd be right to do it.
>>11158220ok>>11157861use something for placeholder art and try to make something fun, if you got something awesome there will be more motivation to make good art for it. >>11157875The first few maps seemed alright, it's just some of the ones in the middle... oof. Good luck if you're doing no save / pistol start runs.
>>11158368You'll get better at the game if you stop cheating, anon, I promise.
>>11158424I can see that you're not exactly here to argue anything in good faith.
>>11158463Thinking that saving = cheating is more of a you problem. The rest of us will continue having fun with the game.
>>11158463But I can just demo record after and get the same result.
>>11158347Yeah, the finale was probably simultaneously too complex and not thought out well enough in different aspects. I need to try more subtle or environment-based map climaxes instead of just throwing enemies at the player while giving them buttons to press.Thanks for not just jerking me off like the discord people do. Biggest critique I could get out of them is that it's too dark.
>>11158472I play saveless too, I'm just not idiotic enough to dismiss something as garbage because I died once.
>>11158480It's not about dying once, it's about clusterfuck fights with filler in-between that makes repeat playthroughs a slog.
>>11158479Hey, I enjoyed you map and it's certainly been one of the better ones so far. But yes that final fight was a little too nuts. I do like me some climactic battles. Maybe a quad damage wouldn't have gone amiss?
>>11158485>it's about clusterfuck fights with filler in-between that makes repeat playthroughs a slog.This is an entirely subjective thing.
>>11158512Yeah I'm pushing through Stardate 20x6 right now and there's no parts where I'm like "aw that's bullshit" but it's probably completely inaccessible to a fair portion of posters here
>>11158417>he spends around half an hour repeatedly trying to make a jump he knows is impossibleHe just like me fr
>>11158486>Maybe a quad damage wouldn't have gone amiss?Probably. There is a secret pentagram nearby that you can use to start off the fight, but that requires a bit of foresight I suppose.I tend to assume people play maps on normal before replaying them on hard/nightmare, but that seems not to be the case. lol
>>11158525>I tend to assume people play maps on normal before replaying them on hard/nightmare, but that seems not to be the case. lolIt’s hard to gauge if it’s that or just an outspoken minority. There’s also a mentality of “wanting to play encounters precisely as the author intended”…when the author may have intended you to have fun on any difficulty you want.
I'm brainstorming ideas for ID24 possibilities. Would it be possible for the player thing itself to make an ammo check? That could be used for custom powerups, with the item giving so much of a certain ammo type and applying different behaviors if that ammo type is >1.You could probably do it with weapons too, but I feel like that would be janky when trying to keep track of time. Unless it's something like Left 4 Dead's fire & explosive ammo that gives you a certain amount of shots before it runs out.
Just got a bunch of people to start looking at Decohack modding, anons. How's your day been?I'm suffering from artblock so I still have nothing much to show.
>>11158538What did you say to convince them?
>>11158417Um, he is the creator of DOOM. I think he knows what is possible and what is not, sweatie.
>>11158539Nothing much, one was curious so I spouted what I knew it can do, what it can't, how to get started and where to find the documentation. At least 3 are looking into picking it up and one already wants to make a Decohack take on HDest's monsters. The zombies are done and quite tricky.
>friend is playing through my game with me in a call>for some reason the npc that ends level gets dormanted and the game is softlocked>there is nothing that could possibly make the npc dormant>get confused and go to test it myself repeatedly>all works fineWhy does GZDoom do this to me?
The taser effects are super useful for telling where the dholes are underground.
If I want to balance UV+ difficulty (UV-fast and MP spawns) in my map, should I expect players to make use of secrets?
>>11158547Sounds like fun.
>>11158358>but MAYBE it's shitty level design?Nah, it's definitely you needing to git gud.
>>11158360>WAHHHH THIS MAP IS TOO HARD! BAD DESIGN! BAD DESIGN!Who let the shitters in?
>>11158360I agree but only if you're very good, and if you die it should be your fault and yours only.
>>11158525Yeah, I do have a bad habit of playing Quake maps on hard straight away. But then plenty of the maps have been fairly easy, with just a couple seriously pulling the rug from under me.
>>11158558If one of the easier to find secrets has good stuff in it, people will want to find the rest. Bait them, but then actually give them the reward. I think it depends entirely on if the player themself gives a shit about secrets, but I think that's a good way to get them started.>Verification not required.
>>11158594I mean more like if they actually need to use secrets to beat the map. For example, let' say I do as >>11158360 says and the map is beatable in UV with no prior knowledge, even if you never find any secrets. I imagine it's a different story in UV+, since it's not an "official" difficulty (until the Unity port made it official, but it's still clear vanilla maps aren't balanced around it).
I haven't been in these threads for a few months. how's /vertex relocation/ doing?
>>11158547Tell them about id24hacked, there may be some new possibilities Me personally I don't know if I'll jump on the id24 spec mapping bandwagon - so far all my maps have been in formats that allow demo compatibility between ports, and in the DW thread xaser says it will be and goober that it will not be demo compatible so I'm confused
>>11158558If you’re making a map that focuses primarily on game mastery and mechanical skill, Just don’t add secrets. Unless it’s three minutes long. But if you put a green armor in there and nothing else you’re literally Satan.
>>11158620project lead killed himself
>>11158624They kinda are, but ID24 is so new we have no clue what will happen to it. It seems poised to be the biggest thing since Decorate but the shitflinging is just so loud and frequent it drowns out my interest in what can come from it. It doesn't help LoR doesn't even use it afaik.>the two new weapons effectively use cells with the hud uhm ackshully-ing them as fuel>all of the monsters can be achieved with Decohack, some with regular dehacked>ID24 is only used for an intermission map and some minor graphics, allegedly
>>11158681LOR uses it for skies and the intermission screens, and that's about it.
>>11158114the railgun nerf was the biggest sin I think
>>11158662
>>11158624I don't see ID24 support coming to any ports for quite some time. Kraf has already thrown a bitchfit over it.
>>11158681>the two new weapons effectively use cells with the hud uhm ackshully-ing them as fuelHow do Deathmatches handle having both cells and fuel then?
>>11158706You get both in the DM maps.
>>11158706Deathmatch uses the actual id24 functionality to have a new separate ammo type. Presumably they chose not to use that for LOR itself so that people could play the wad in other ports without major issue.
>>11158715I think it might have been because the maps were in development before the standard and none of them planned to have the two cell weapons.

>>11158649No, it's just a more or less standard Doom map. A lot of combat but also exploration, with some optional areas and alternate routes.Right now I think the best solution would be adding more small optional, non-secret areas the player can visit just for some extra health and ammo.
>>11158715Why the FUCK COULDNT THEY JUST REMOVE ONLY THE PLASMA RIFLE?
>>11158558Any map should be perfectly fine beatable without secrets. Secrets should be bonuses to reward exploration.

>>11158898Thanks for reminding me about Strange Aeons, anon. Gonna be playing with High Noon Drifter.
lmao the new mod browser is a disaster
Im upset that you can't play custom wads in coop on the new Kex engine port. I really hate setting up zandronum it fucking sucks in my opinion. If I knew how to program I would create a fork off GZDoom designed specifically for coop and nothing else and make it have client side item and weapon pickups like the Serious Sam games so it actually balances out maps made for singleplayer
>>11158859Get a load of this >>11158936
>>11159001Is GZDoom's P2P co-op that bad? I assumed that the limited netcode would work better with only two people compared to larger lobbies that you might try with Zandronum.
>>11158992>people STILL uploading GZDoom mods>they're now uploading the RTX mod over and over
>>11158750
>>11158774Did you know that you can use Steam's "Betas" functionality to roll back to Unity release?
>>11159025It works well enough for consistent groups, and just in terms of connection quality it actually just got a nice upgrade. The main problem is that there's no file authentication, so if you're playing with lots of mods it's easy for one to be the wrong version and you might not even find out until you're several maps in. It's generally possible to mitigate though since you can save and load games and even reload with updated files. It's just a frustrating process for the uninitiated who don't know why their shit's desyncing, they just know their game just got randomly ended through no obvious fault of their own.
>>11158479I didn't finish the final fight the first time so on a second playthrough I got the quad secret right before entering the final arena and finished it that way. I like to take second playthroughs into account, next time I'll just shit on your map if that is what you want.
>>11158954You want Project Malice on that?
the dw mods just dropped a post in the id24 thread, stating that they warned a shitton of people (including the guy who made and posted the spec) and banned both kraf and kinsie for their extraordinary bitchfits.

>>11158892thanks
>>11159119>take damage>rewindhow is this not cheating?
>>11159131>qrd?kexdoom adds boom/mbf/mbf 21 support through clean room implementation.it also adds a new spec entirely, known as id24. id24 acts as a successor to mbf21 and also includes the new actors and weapons baseline so they are not replaced. in order to use the new monsters and weapons in mods if they use them, the spec states that you need id24res.wad to play them. the spec wasn't very clear that id24s other features didn't require it. so people were kinda confused on why a new complevel required effectively a new iwad. xaser states that id24res only required for new weapons and monsters. then shit got flung harder because id24 reserves some dehacked slots, and line def specials so if id makes another expansion that adds shit like lor does it wont fuck up literally every thing. but then people take this as bethesda and Microsoft encroching on the modding community and that the devs which were long time community members sold out and I don't feel like typing anymore read the thread.
>>11159123and I use to think I have autism..
>>11159141It is cheating, but it's an invaluable tool when testing maps.
>>11159141>>11159145Unsurprisingly it was developed for practicing specific sections in speedruns.

I appreciate the occasional reminder of why I don't read these forums outside of WADs.
>>11159109Perused the thread for a bit, but didn't see anything that Kinsie should've been banned for.Glad my main doom outlet is to this place. It may not amount to a hill of beans... But this is *our* hill, and these are *our* beans.
>>11159168It's Kinsie so they've probably wanted the excuse for a while now, dude worries to fuck about that shit and keeps posting about it.He probably also pissed them off about the shutting down the beta asset use since he was vocal about the idiocy of asset policing crap the last time as well.
>>11159109post sounds reasonable
>>11159204it is but banning kraf (he deserves it) is like pouring gas on the fire when it was just starting to fade out

>>11159287I like Valiant, so yeah.
>>11159280Now that you mention it, I didn't anything there that warranted a ban.I hate this trend of forums removing posts they don't like, I want to be able to see the sort of things I shouldn't post, instead of not knowing until I break the same rule by unknowingly saying the same sort of thing.
>>11159293You could always see them preserved in post hel- wait.
>>11159138Yeup.>>11159287Sure. Keeping the rate of fire and having each bullet deal more damage is also cool.
>>11159265I like the big guys with wings. Everyone else is just a reskin of some sort, or a monster that exists in community wads.

>>11159397Amazing huh. I like that they used some unused OG assets, but they they need more work. The flame thrower doesn't look as bad, but could've used a bit more touching up. Still some to go on this frame. There are 4 more to go though.
>>11159410The flamethrower is a bit messy, but it still fits with some of the textures.
>>11159216I intuitively worked it out within a few minutes of playing.
>>11159386Wouldn't be the first time for Kinsie, he seems to enjoy doing it.
>>11159279Nothing.
I've been kinda enjoying Duke 3D 20th World TourThe graphical update looks nice to me, and it's easy to toggle themI use a controller, so I didn't notice the apparently borked mouse aiming, and it's very smooth with controllerI switched to original audio as I agree the new voice acting sucksThe rewind feature is pretty cool tooI never really cared for the expansionsAm I missing something that secretly sucks about this version?
Which wad is the goatse from?
Welp, it showed up in my GOG games directory because I had purchased Ultimate Doom and Doom II. Doom 1 + Doom 2 is actually a pretty interesting game, and I think it could work as a competent replacement for the original Doom games. Just kidding. I replaced the original doom 1/2 iwads with the freedoom iwads. It actually works just fine, and makes the whole thing feel about 30 years younger, almost like freedoom was born a couple of years ago, unlike the ancient ultimate doom.
>>11159461My only complaint is that it doesn't have perspective correct old school graphics. I think people directed their anger over the removal of Megaton Edition at World Tour.
>kex this, free thatIf you don't play vanilla DOOM on original hardware or DOSBox and then use some shit source port released 15 years ago to play your gay wads, you are doing it wrong.
>>11158750GGs
>>11159503I see - I actually also have Megaton, but have noticed that it doesn't seem to handle 1080p properly (things go missing off screen), and the controller scheme somehow doesn't feel quite as nice, at least by default.I agree it was a dick move for Randy to remove Megaton if he wasn't putting the expansions into World Tour
>>11159507Don't close the door, there's a revenant behind it.
>>11159473Hard Fast Faggot Maps
>>11159518Wasn't really Randy's fault that time, because Scott Miller had included them while forgetting he didn't actually own the full rights to them, so it was a legal liability.
>>11159518World Tour has the rewind from the 360 version, so perhap they pulled the controller tuning from it as well. I remember it feeling pretty nice on the 360.
>>11159528>>11159536thanks, this is illuminatingI assume all steam versions can be played via eduke if i really wanted
>>11159550I don't know in EDuke supports Alien World Order, but Raze does.
>>11159528Yeah, Randy gets a lot of shit but I legit never thought he was that bad. Maybe not the best studio director, but I never saw concrete evidence that he was purposefully malicious.I wasn't about to dig that deep into it though either

Shut up you fucking weenies. Now talk about some gameplay mods you like, or maybe shit you'd want to change in a mod.
do the new official Doom enhancements by Nightdive make source ports kinda pointless?
>>11159656Not in the slightest. Those can't run gameplay mods.
Someone here a while back recommended the Babel mod, holy shit its so good. Is there any other gameplay mods like it?
>>11159652I'm really liking Omerta. The baseball bat lets you knock projectiles back at enemies. The berserk is a bottle of whiskey that normally only makes you more resistant to damage but I gave it PowerStrength to re-enable zerk hits that were coded but inaccessible and even gave some to the bat and the pistol whip.
>>11159658As far as Vanilla+ mods go, I'd say it's the best, though you could also try Final Doomer.
>>11159657i see it still gives me the option to boot the DOS version, which I can hopefully use for mods still
>>11159657>gameplay modsvanilla is all you need
>>11159652It would be fun if the Serious Sam 4 class in BYOC could do dual wielding like in SS4. But that would be both overpowered and very hard (but not impossible) to implement I think.
>>11159678Maybe, but I don't want the pistol.
>>11159712name one good map that forces you to use pistol
>>11159646what's this from?
>>11159678>vanilla is all you needyou only play the 2 vanilla games as a tutorial, skip the rest of the expacs and move on to TCs
>>11159708>very hard (but not impossible) to implement I think.Is it due to a Zandronum limitation? I've played played several mods that had no issues with dual wielding but that was in GZDoom?
>>11159656Nice try, Bethesda. But no they don't.
How long until they run out of paid wads to port and make a random map generator?
Felt like updating this old map a bit so I did. Mostly more ammo and enemies in the starting area.https://static.allfearthesentinel.com/wads/yourmomcubusv2.wad
>>11159656Other way around. There's no real reason for the Nightdive version to exist except for selling Doom on consoles since the other source ports are better than it.
What is Kex anyways? Some kinda compat layer?
>>11159848i heard kex is bad on quake
>>11156975Have these guys ever did anything positive, for the betterment of this general specifically? Console ports and D2016/DE might've opened the floodgates for the new blood, however, the total benefit of this is uncertain. Could be a fun exercise to rummage through history, so try to name as much as you can, factoids or not doesn't matter.
>>11159856>these guyssome of the people working there probably at some point made wads, now they're stapling squirrels to their watercoolers
>>11159265The Vassagos (fireball throwing demons) have some potential for custom WADs but I feel they'll trigger a lot of infighting while placed near other monsters. In Legacy of Rust they tended to be grouped with other Vassagos for encounters so I assume that's an issue that came up while designing the maps for the expansion. The other new monsters are boring or cover concepts already explored by previous, better modded ones.
>>11159656There's absolutely no reason to use these garbage source ports outside playing Legacy of Rust. If you want to play modded GZDoom is the only worthwhile option and for vanilla/Boom you have a fuckton of superior alternatives.
>>11159868>outside playing Legacy of Rustgz runs it just fine, so no point really
Why does KEX doom feel so weird to play? Am I suffering from KEX derangement syndrome?
>>11159871Kex never gets shit right, it's just for cheaply porting crap to consoles and selling shit to casuals.
>>11159871the frame pacing is meh
>>11159873SS1EE is a pretty good port, I wish they did UU instead of porting console crap like turok and exhumed.
>>11159856What exactly would the betterment of this general even be?
>>11159875That was because they canibalized the living fuck out of System Shock Portable after paying the dude leading it to hand everything over to them.
>>11159727Alright now you tell me how you have the magic insight to know every map you're about to play is good. Sometimes there's just a shit level in a good WAD. Sometimes you wind up with a map that gives you a shotgun and RL, but no chaingun.
>>11159141I guess someone thought something along the lines of>at least it's not quicksaving/loading lmao
>>11158859that amount of bullshit would filter anyone but the most dedicated autist>>11159279ken's impossible to work with>>11159129he relocated himself to hell
>>11159878Bolstering worthwhile activity here, I think. We make, share and discuss mods for classic id games, delve into technical intricacies and simply having fun playing. One such recent example I could think of, is hiring just the right hands for Quake 2 re-release and thus reigniting the sustainable interest with modders, even though there may not have been such intention outside of monetary.
Is Helion good enough to use yet?
>>11159886>Sometimes you wind up with a map that gives you a shotgun and RL, but no chaingun.mapper intended it that way then
>>11159879>canibalized the living fuck out of System Shock PortableI don't follow, it was a dos version prepackaged with mouselook
>>11159905With its development lifespan and activity it sure shouldn't be as borked as kex port currently is, although it hasn't yet reached the point 1 release. I didn't play with it that much to share my exact impressions.
>>11159905>>11159915It lauds some kind of MBF21, ZDoom and UMAPINFO support, so that should make you covered for about 80-90% of the Doom content, maybe you'll even be able to play one of those nifty DBK wads for example.
>>11159897>Ken's impossible to work withqrd?
>>11159873>port it>wow shit engine feels different>don't port it>wow lazy faggot selling a dosbox config>pick mainstream game>wow dogshit port I already have source ports for this>pick obscure game>wow more like dumpsterdive why haven't they ported [game I want so I could complain they ruined it] scam artists amiriteNot defending kex doom, but it's not like unity fared any better, this seems like a deeper asspain than just this port
>>11159928just read stuff from people who worked with him on Duke3D. I don't have any links on hand, but the gist is that the guy has a huge ego and refuses to work on important but boring things
Just learning about Decohack. I have a few questions.1. Can I use new defined things in regular Doom or Boom map formats?2. Is it possible to also include a DECORATE lump in a wad for ZDoom ports to use instead of DSDHacked things?
>>11159965>1. Can I use new defined things in regular Doom or Boom map formats?You'll need complevel 21 to support new things otherwise they won't appear. You also need it to have new functionality.>2. Is it possible to also include a DECORATE lump in a wad for ZDoom ports to use instead of DSDHacked things?Yes, you can make a custom thing that replaces modded thing - I think that's the correct way to do it.
>>11158943you just know someone will speedrun the whole thing under 10 minutes at some point
>>11159604Randy is still TREMENDOUSLY fucking crooked, he ripped off Sega and Take 2 Interactive with the bullshit hackjobs which were Aliens Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever, so that he could embezzle most of the intended funds and use them for developing his Borderlands games.There's also him being an overt virtue signalling crybully on social media, and the time he violently assaulted one of the voice actors of Borderlands.
>>11159656No, you fag.
>>11159928Read Peter Freese's rant on Ken, then try to read through engine.chttps://tcrf.net/Proto:Blood/Alpha_Demo/Developer_Noteshttps://github.com/fabiensanglard/vanilla_duke3D/blob/master/SRC/ENGINE.C
>>11159967I see. Thank you for your quick response.I'll just wait a decade or two until Zandro supports MBF21 maps then.
>>11159974>le gore ryona modWouldn't it be better to mix females into normal gameplay at random for opportunistic impse on top of the gore?How about shooting WHILE fucking giving you temporary health refills per thrust or damage boost?These modders, totally no imagination tbhsmh.
>>11159978>Ken understands algorithms, and he understands graphics. >What he doesn't get is how to design SYSTEMS. Everything he does to the engine is a piecemeal enhancement to something that should have been designed right from the beginning.I think this sums it up pretty well. No wonder build is such jank.
>>11158992>>11159026Would be nice if someone makes a video compilation of all the shitpost publications. lol>>11159109>>11159123https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/146943-id24-a-new-feature-set-standard/?page=13&tab=comments#comment-2834449>>11159528>Scott MillerNot surprising. Dude comes off as incompetent moron. Probably just a matter of time because he forces nu-Apogee into the ground and dumps it into the hands of someone who picked up all the wrong lessons from Miller instead of recognizing his fuckups and won't manage to get better for years to come.>>11159604People are also too keen to pin all the blame on one person high up when most of the time certain fuck up (or success) is a result of a teamwork.That doesn't mean someone can't be an asshole on their own and Randy has some shit like USB drive and (allegedly?) punching a voice actor.>>11159656Nope. Fine option for beginners. If you want to go deeper with WADs and such, source ports are still the way.>>11159852Same here. QuakeEX is alright if you're a console player or never played Quake before.>>11159856I don't think Xbox had any direct input for the betterment of this general. Probably one thing you can note is "they didn't stuck their nose too deep into id's business".
>>11160023>Scott Miller>Dude comes off as incompetent moronGreat musician thoughhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Miller_(pop_musician)
>>11160023>I don't think Xbox had any direct input for the betterment of this general.All these studios and companies are supposedly owned by Microsoft and such was implied. I should've chosen a better picture.
>>11159109Sigh... back to Boom, I guess.
>>11159109>DSDA Doom deadGood. May a better port take its place.
>>11159109>you'll be lucky to ever see dsda doom get updates againHe has enough audience and work goals to brush this silly incident aside, it all depends on emotional fortitude.
>>11159678Vanilla is good, but I also like cinnamon, chocolate, peanutbutter, and all other kinds of nice flavors.
>>11160051Mayonnaise for me, everything is better with a spoon of mayo
>>11160047True, and it's not like the vast majority of Doomworld is even his target audience.
>>111600511.5/3 of those are already ports, and there are indeed many more flavors at this point
UVFastmax, pistol start, no saving.If you don't play with these basic rules, you are not hetero.
>>11159873>>11159871I'll have to see if they updated the regular Doom ports on PS4, but I remember the Doom 64 port there being extremely good.
>>11160059If I get by a 80dmg revenant missile, I reloadIf I get zapped by an archvile, I reloadIf a chaingunner manages to shoot me for more than a second, I reloadIf I pick a shell box with 32 shells, I reload
>>11160057Vast majority of Doomworld didn't even participate in that thread and largely unaware of it. No one sensible would care about some local turf war with a pinch of egomaniatism, they come for games.
>>11160054Mayonnaise is the best base for mixing up a hamburger dressing, but I find no appeal in its base flavor.>>11160059I'll respect you for your skill and determination if you actually do that.>>11160058I know, but you get my point, I love the base game, but I also love what you can turn the game into with mods.
>>11159150I prefer Xaser over the last 20 years of GZDOOM faggotry and Zandronum shitshows
>>11160061Almost feeling you with that last one.
>>11160041>picrelshouldn't it be "disappointment = reality/expectation"?
>>11160071If expectations are low and the reality is high, disappointment will be lowIf expectations are high and the reality is low, disappointment will be high
>>11159109I think DW forgot that the retards from Doomer Boards were there flaming the entire situation because 40oz is a retard who is still anal pained over xaser and id for some stupid reason.But still he does Doom wads that are inferior to what /vr/ does
>>11159965As said, you'll need to use MBF21, which is basically like an expanded, upgraded, and more featured DeHacked where you can define new things.For also including a Decorate file, that could be a good idea given that occasionally you might run into something not handling 100% as expected with GzDoom, so then you can replace the relevant Deh_Actor number with a tweaked one which fixes some such thing. Or maybe adds a small effect which makes good sense for GzDoom.
>>11160074anon, if we take reality in the meme formula as a baseline 100 and expectations as variable between 0 and 200 you get 0 expectations having the most disappointment and 200 having the least, which is not what you're describing right now
>>11160061>>11160069>Wait did I just pick u-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
>>11159150I don't get why it was needed to shove them in as their own protected thing tied to copyrighted assets, if people run shit with mods then it's their own problem if something breaks or overrides something else.
>>11159150They aren't though, you don't need to even use idres24 to use the id24 format, you only need it if you want to make a .wad using Legacy Of Rust monsters and weapons.
>>11159656Not really. Hell, I still use Quakespasm over the Kex engine Quake remaster because it just feels better.These ports are for consoles and kids who don't know how to mod or set up sourceports. They don't really do anything better and the controls are worse. Plus you're at the mercy of Bethesda should they wish to tamper with the code or remove wads you're enjoying. My Doom source port folder suffers from no such threat.
>>11159982>ZandroIf your target port is Zandro, why not UDMF?
>>11159656no, but they give you better core files to work withthey're at least worth pirating once for those
>>11160089...Why is he blushing? ANON WHY IS HE BLUSHING?!

>>11159287I would take virtually any form of chaingun as long as there's no "100% accuracy on first tap" gimmick.
>>11160135>as long as there's no "100% accuracy on first tap" gimmick.you really want to switch to pistol the whole time?
>>11160137Unironically yes. Anything to stop treating chaingun like some semi-auto abomination.
>>11160059sorry, im not a tranny either
>>11160141Why?
>>11160075>Completely unrelated to /vr/ conspirology timeI wouldn't bother explaining myself if I were you
>>11160141ideally pistol should be more ammo-efficient than the chaingun by virtue of dealing more damage per shot or you'd lower chaingun damage on the first 5 shots so it's less useful for short bursts
>>11160150Ideally they'd have unique ammo types.
>>11160151that's the furthest from ideal, you'd either have to increase ammo gain per pack or place more shit around the map for specific weaponshow would you even retroactively implement this change on existing maps?
>>11160146Chaingun supposed to go brrrrr. Simple as. If it has any other functionality (let alone to the point where this "side" functionality overshadows its primary use case) than it's a bad chaingun.
>>11160154id chainguns are really weird in that they're not like typical miniguns, they're used more like rifles.
>>11160157Almost as if they're chainguns.
>>11160161Almost as if they're not.
>>11160124It's a nothing burger until Bethesda does it's usual bullshit.
>>11160150>>11160153As I said few times in the past, in a perfect world chaingun doesn't have this perfect accuracy side effect, but when you pick up the chaingun your pistol automatically gets upgraded to pinpoint accurate pistol that uses 2 bullets per shot. Virtually no downsides to this approach, other than it can't be done with boom.
>>11160161Almost, but not quite. How many miniguns are meant to be shoulder-fired?
>>11160161vulkans are used for suppressing fire or to down aircraft and penetrate lightly armored coverwhat we have is an m60 with multiple barrels that are completely redundant for its rate of fire
>>11160168I think you could get away with removing both the pistol and chaingun, and just spawn the player with a rifle that functions nearly identically to the chaingun. It's not THAT good a weapon.
>>11160172Not even powerful enough for that, it has the same power as the pistol so it's like an SMG
>>11160174No, it will absolutely destroy the balance of pistol starts if you get something stronger than a pistol from the start.
>>11160178Everything is stronger than the pistol, and your solution to fix the problem with the pistol is to just hide it.
>>11160167It'd be great if BTSX 3 shows up on their shit costing 1000 funny Bethesda coins.
>>11160178replace the pistol with a homing rocket punch that consumes one of your fists until you pick it up from where it landedfists are weaker, so it's fine right?
>>11160183Yes, but only after the point when you got the chaingun and you're almost certainly not going to use it anymore, at all.
>>11160190I'm unlikely to go back to the pistol after getting any weapon at all, unless I have absolutely no ammo.
>remove chaingun from the game>start with a pistol>every couple of pistol kills you get another pistol, it stays at akimbo mode until you find a chainsaw>if the level has a chainsaw you bolt those pistols onto it, the triggers are actuated by the chain and with every new pistol the rate of fire increases>it caps out at n number of pistols ducttaped to a chainsawsolution - just use more gun
>>11160202I like this. It should also have a leaky radsuit style chance of one of the guns accidentally shooting you now and then.
Played the Verdant Citadel by Exl, award nominee by a guy who graced us with WhackED. Fights were rather unengaging for a relatively traditional Doom map, unlike the Citadel itself, which opens up fairly early with its interconnected pathways and tasteful sense of visuals. There is a custom track playing throughout the map in a style of Djent which grinded my ears so that I had to change it for some fantasy heavy metal out of lack of better choice. Monster placement isn't much clumsy, but boring and creatively restrained. It's fine if you're into adventuring and navigation though.
>>11159109>ID made a new content for Doom and now I'm mad. How could this happen to me?
>>11160234>ID madeid is dead and has been so for a very long time
>>11160234It was Nightdive.
>>11160249I believe their current mapper was still swimming inside the balls at the time of Doom release
>>11160259Xaser's like 40 or something, also wasn't the only mapper, there were six of them.
>>11160272>Xaser's like 40 or somethingyet he has a voice of a 16 year old...
i've been here and there on this general when i started playing doom like three years ago and ive never seen so many names thrown around until recently
>>11159109>anotak being the only voice of reasonlol that guy is my hero because he drove Graf insane with rage
>>11160275When the new port drama dies down it'll go back to 'normal'.
>>11160274Good for him for not smoking or taking roids
>>11157087VR bro, what 3d weapons packs are you using? And what do you play on? I have a quest 2 that I use for doom but apparently zdoom has compatibility issues with legacy of rust and I refuse to play it flat. I'm aware a gzdoom fork exists for quest but apparently doesn't run well on quest 2. I'll eventually upgrade to 3 but if there's some current workaround I'd love to find it
>>11159150>>11160084>>11160082They are cemented - maybe you don't have to use them or have the wad to use the spec but still they are in the clunky load order and this is a "seal of confirmation" treating them as official assets, even though they are mostly realm667 turd quality, and that's what bothers me about LoR - the spec is nice but this episode being official continuation just feels bad, it could have been a pwad added to the game like No RestThe upside to them being shit is that no one will probably use them in user pwads so nobody will be obliged to buy/pirate itThe spec might be good, I have high hopes for it, if it was demo compatible it would be perfect
Drama aside, do we know which source ports are actively looking into getting ID24 support right now?
>>11160325I don't think any have begun work to implement it.
>>11160325Odamex and Eternity, both with Nightdive employees in charge
is Master Levels for Doom II as bad as people say it is?
>>11160329better than tnt at least
>>11160329The worst levels of the pack are as bad as people say, but there are a few gems in there and the majority of it is just aggressively mediocreI say this as someone who likes TNT though so the other anon will have to kill me
I liked The Coiled City. I thought it was fun.
>>11160329IMO, It's not outright "bad" per se (except maybe Bad Dream), but the maps are definitely of the 1995 era. A period of the mapping community that was still in the experimental phase, where they were still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't when it comes to gameplay design and pacing for Doom.
>>11160276By making perfectly sensible design choices too, and then Term nearly killed GzDoom by giving it a Cacoward.
>>11160343I had fun with it too, it was different, I'm not sure why a lot of people are that mad about it.
>>11160328So the two ports nobody gives a fuck about lol, does anyone even use Odamex? I stopped checking because it was dead every time I looked at it.
>>11159101I don't think so, anon. I like Project Malice a bunch but I don't wanna get burned out on it, plus it's been a while since I plaed Strange Aeons. Kinda like the monster lineup it has. Thanks though.So, does anyone else just vent map? I think I'm getting depressed again so I logged out from just about every place I'm in, I don't like throwing my problems at other people and I generally get very wordy when I'm not doing well. If it's not bad enough to the point I just want to lay down I try maping whatever, for however long I can handle it.This is kinda early. Was gonna make it another brutalist map with no new textures but for whatever reason the slime called me again.
>>11160328>both with Nightdive employees in chargeHe doesn't really have anything to do with Eternity development anymore, that got passed to a few other people.
>>11160356>Bad DreamI played it with Corruption Cards + Project Brutality, literally 0 fps slideshow before I managed to pop few cyberdemons with a BFG somehow.
>>11160089The Quake 2 port was different enough that I appreciated it. And kexDoom has split screen which is neat. I feel like doom is a little under baked tho.
>>11160386Yeah, now that I look at it, it almost feels like Printz is the only one who bothers anymore
>>11160401All these years, and splitscreen is still never really supported by source ports.
>>11160028Died more than 11 years ago... May he rest in peace.>Great musician thoughIf you're saying this unironically, throw in one recommendation for listening.>>11160039>All these studios and companies are supposedly owned by Microsoft and such was implied.Oh, Microsoft totally owns them. That much is clear. What I mean is that (more often than not) they actually don't seem to involve themselves into whatever their studios do all that much. This is what I was implying.>>11160249id Software wasn't closed like Tango Gameworks and Arkain Austin, so they seem pretty much alive to me.>>11160257And yeah, Legacy of Rust and re-release itself were largely Nightdive's work... Although credit still goes to id since it's their game.>>11160276>>11160360>Look him up to confirm that anotak is lilith's creator.lol
>>11160409We only got proper gamepad support recently, give it some time.
>>11160410>id Software wasn't closedstudio died, name stayed
>>11160410>they seem pretty much alive to me.Hugo Martin doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who would have done well in id back when the original guys were all there. They certainly wouldn't have been for his capeshit obsession.
>>11160461But Romero loved comics!
>>11160461Capeshit was in a totally different place 30 years ago.
>>11160491I could see Romero being an Ennis fan
capeshit, despite being different, was always shitthe stigma attached to it is the reason more serious comics never fully took off in the west
>>11160329As a whole, it's a bit of a dry set, and a few levels are kind of heinous, but a handful of the levels are honestly not bad.
>>11160461Imagine how cringy Doom would be with that guy on the original team.
>>11160575Well he’d be kicked out faster than Hall did because I doubt Martin actually knows a thing about computers
>>11160584New Nikke update is wild
>>11160575Doom would be more retarded capeshit stuff than cheesy 90's gorey horror
>>11160591Again, in 1993, capeshit was in a completely different place than it is today, or even than it was 15+ years ago, there was still a lot of very cool stuff going on.Granted, most which was not suitable for Doom.
>>11160591>tfw you remember doom actually became retarded capeshitfuck nu-id
>>11159520
>>11160420Carmack was still a core team member as recently as Doom 4, the fuck more do you want?
>>11160613I just think it’s funny.Not that it’s purposely done well funny, but funny because this is a person’s magnum opus.
>>11160325First it's going to be fully finished.It's going to added to modern boom ports (woof, nugget, dsda). Graf will definitely add it gzdoom eventually... but that will take time as even mbf21 has still major bugs with gzdoom.
>>11160635>because this is a person’s magnum opusI think that only makes it worse...
>>11160672It’s a bit sad looking but I wasn’t in it for the story to begin with.I roll with it like this because if I don’t, then I’m liable to go crazy I think.
>>11160680>I wasn’t in it for the story to begin withNeither was I, but eternal doesn't really give you a choice in the matter, and the lore is beyond cringe
>>11160635Their magnum opus as a story or as a game?
>>11160687>and the lore is beyond cringeyes, it's a multiverse... of cringe
>>11160687You can skip all but like one cutscene.Either way I chose to watch it anyway.
>>11160691Story.Unless I’m not aware that Martin is also somehow the game designer.
>>11160693Idk why I read this post with Mr. Plinkett's voice
Is there any particular reason why the bethesda/KEK port's Midis sounds like dogshit? despite that Microsoft owns Bethesda now, they're not allowed to use default windows midi or some shit? what in the fuck?
>>11160727Some of those "midis" are actually pre-recorded oggs.>2024>not using NukedIt's like you hate yourself or something.
>>11160727This shit is half baked and it was only done as a marketing tactic for Dark Ages.BOOM barely even functions in Kex. So many enemies get stuck to each other or fall off edges so easily.
>>11160727>>11160740If it isn't prerecorded, they use the bargain bin soundfonts for the midis. It dosen't let you use your system's midi. You can easily check by using Virtual MIDI Synth's mixer, or checking Nuked if your using that, or even just listening to it.
>>11160740>It's like you hate yourself or somethingI don't have the roms for it
>>11160768Merry Christmashttps://files.catbox.moe/b39x6t.zip
>>11160780That is greatly appreciated.Will test it now.
>>11160740Nuked-OPL3, I hope?
Is there no midi section in the OP?
>>11160329Black Tower, Paradox, and Jim Flynn's maps are worth playing. Vesperas is the only map you should actively avoid, because it has a completely obtuse mandatory secret.
Gonna try getting my McCollough Eager Beaver 2.0 chainsaw running today. Wish me luck.
>>11160613Definitely true for Eternal and the DLCs.
Why is there always one of these every Quake Jam? The massive empty town map that looks like it escaped from the Halloween Jam.
>>11160092I want more people to be able to play it.
>>11160910>welcome noob mappers>they have no sense of scale or how it relates to gameplay>don't actually critique them so they get better>put their shit in the same pack as everything else>repeat with next jamA tale as old as time.
>>11160910The natural instinct to make the most erect of phallic structures.
>>11160910Is that from the Retro Jam? Haven’t ran into yet if it is.
>>11160973Yes. Also, I loved the map in your screenshot. It was one of the best levels.
The way Doom was meant to be played
>>11160984I don’t want to speak too soon but it’s my favorite of the bunch so far, definitely left an impression.
>>11160410Sure, here some of my favorites, sorry for late reply. Vocals are something to get accustomed to, but I like the conveyed mood in a lot of these. No song defines the album it was taken from, think of different kaleidoscope patterns resembling a part of a single whole. Still, any albums presented are fair first pick, so if you particularly like something then it's a safe starting point. Mitch Easter with the bands he helped producing, and was a part of, is a good direction for future discoveries if you're into this. Check out these voice harmonies and instrument interplays.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR9htSzHVa0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrcNqNuOe6chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2WNzjjRKDohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9j7EKH905ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMvtvN5C8HM

HALT. NOBODY REPLIES PAST THIS POST WITHOUT CLEARANCE FROM THE GOVERNOR OR THE WARDEN.
>>11161034Thanks, bye!
>>11161034Thanks, Bye!
>>11161034Here's my pass, let me in.
>>11161034Well I have clearance and I'm not lying. If you let me pass, I'll let you have my high tech Sega Game Gear!
>>11160998was this released as a single wad? I would unironically play it for lulz on a lower skill level
>>11160998>a bloody water balloon explodes in front of enemies when hit“RTflex” I guess but the original GZDoom bloodspats looked more believable.
>>11160420>studio died, name stayedNo, that's Atari, Intellivision, Black Isle, Digital Eclipse, Tango Gameworks and many more brands I can't think of.>>11160461It's not just Hugo there. Besides, who really knows. It's all about the perspective since, as >>11160491 said, comics were different and who knows what his interests would've been if he was around id at the time.>>11161007>Sure, here some of my favorites, sorry for late reply.No worries, thanks. I'll be listen to at least half of these sometime tomorrow.
>>11161034Greetings, mortal. Are you ready to die?
>>11161034Thanks, Bye!M.Guard looks a bit like Frank Horrigan from Fallout 2.
>>11160118Just don't go visit Bethesdaland and you won't run into the trouble of losing any legal rights for buying Doom or subscribing to Disney+ or whateverIn the not so far future this smarmy retort will bite me in the ass as I eat a rollcake prepared by a Bethesda employee and die
>>11161130>smarmyIt comes across more like word salad but okay.
>>11161136I mean thats basically every EULA these days sexcept every word is 'don't do anything with our shit' which is funny for a Doom and its game engine>>11161091Guess not
>>11161141Most EULA are too strict by verying degrees, and at least substantially tilt in favor of corporate suits.
So I'm trying to think, Doom could technically do colored lighting but it would be a pain for mappers back in the day, and ID24 adds animated sky textures and literally the PSX Doom texture that did it to boot. Is the only thing fundamentally stopping a PSX Doom port to something like the new one the legendary reverb?
>>11160868>>>/wsg/5651271It lives.
>>11161179ID24 has support for colored lighting too, no vanilla engine tricks needed.
>>11161185Anon caucasian reveal
>>11161179Yeah, it's doable. When a port finally decides to support it.
>>11161179The concept of applying tinting was introduced in Boom, but for deep water. For some reason nobody thought to apply it to sectors rather than to player's POV in the mainline ports.
>>11161185Kitchen Ace.
>>11161203I had an idea that you could do it with translucent midtextures that are a solid color.
>>11161185noice
>>11161191ofc. im doomguygot the chainsaw and everything.
>>11161210now go kill some demonsin minecraft
>>11161185Hot damn listen to that sound.
I have a pun ready for when we hit page 10
I'd seen someone had made a Legacy of Rust SC-55 soundtrack and got me wondering, do you guys bother using Nuked SC-55 for anything other than SC-55 soundtracks? Also is Sigils midi's recorded on an SC-55?
>>11161271So do I:This thread is DOOMEDHaha. I'll be here all week REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT.
>>11161271>>11161281HEY! Let's throw peanuts at BOTH of them!
>Tried playing Ad Mortem on Keks>Every other map crashes at some point
>>11161317is it>R_GetColumnComposite: Attempting to create composite during rendering.I heard it has something to do with the textures that Keks dosen't like
>>11161141>these daysEven in the 90s EULAs generally had some clause of "you don't own this software, it's just a license to operate, and we can revoke that if we want at which point you must destroy your disc".
>>11160957It's a natural and healthy urge.>>11160998Well, when enemies cast shadows against walls, or light is cast through the metal bars, making shadows, that's kind of a cool visual, and it would be neat to have something like that without all the other mess.>>11161205That'll look like ass.
>that lava secret in dis unionAnd that is when I save"scummed"
I don't care for E1M6 in LOR. It looks cool I guess but the flamethrower is really jank + short and the mini-anarchnotrons seem to have a really shitty attention span for infighting which this maps wants you to do.
>>11161483Something about the new arachnos seem off and I’m not sure what aside from that they feel way more aggressive.But I never liked the spiders so whatever.
>>11161473With all the spiders? That one was easy.
Whoever setup those Complex Doom Last man standing servers with those fucking legendary monsters can go right to fucking hell.That pretty much imo killed interest with doomseeker in general.
>>11161502No, the one with a soulsphere and rockets and a lava "elevator". It took me a few tries to come out of it with more health then I went in with.Actually I think I just hate this level overall. When I saw the enemy count I was like>cool, a shorter mapAnd then spent a lot of time being lost and going in circles.
>>11161443yep and "Attempting to access invalid weapon '-1'". Most crashes don't have any error or anything in the logs though. And MAP05 kills the minimap for some reason. And level names in the level select don't show.
So I decided to do a playthough on ultra violence. This will be my first time. My set-up>chocolate-doom>The Ultimate Doom 1995 iwadI have a fascination with the ps1 release of Doom, but I see it is missing a lot of elements from the DOS versions.So I set up my controller to use the same controls as the PS1 Doom.thoughts?
>>11161613I would use box and ring for turning and the d-pad for strafing, personally. L2 run, R2 shoot, L/R1 for switching weapons, pyramid for map, and drumsticks for action.
>>11161641>box>ring>pyramid>drumsticks
>>11161613that's how i used to play Doom except cross for open, an run with circle this way i can run and shoot at the same time with the same thumb more comfortably
Are the junkfood wads worth playing?
>>11161613I find that the playstation version controls better with this scheme than any PC port when I set it up the same.It just seems like the game handles digital turning so much differently between platforms.
>>11161659It's all in the name. If mindless entertainment is what you're looking for, go for it
>>11161641Fucking lol
>>11161659If you've even a passing interest they're worth a fuck about in them.
>>11161081Yeeeeeeeah Im not a fan of the blood either. Im sure it's impressive technically but I wish there was a way to turn it down or off.
>>11159265The black devils are fun to fight, the screaming banshee heads are cool, though I played the wad with GZdoom, & they were bugged & unable to do any damage to me, so i did not get to experience the danger element to them. I was slightly annoyed that the Banshee faces were just straight rips of some of the faces from that Doom texture with the screaming faces that gets used constantly in Doom 2. The guys that shoot plasma balls are fine enemies, I like that their heads fall off when you kill them & they split in half when gibbed, I wish the Doom enemies had more custom sprites where they have things fall off them when they die. (Like the wrapping on the golems & blood drips on the imps in Heretic) The beta skull things are probably the best enemy, It made me feel like the Doom 1 & 2 could have used them for more combat variety. The new green cyberdemon looks half assed.
>>11160998It ends up looking like claymation again where they try to use lighting to cover up how plasticy everything looks.
>>11161483The flamethrower isn't too bad once I got used to it. It's extremely powerful at stunlocking even low painchance enemies.
>>11156992Not gonna be around for the next week, if someone else wants to make these in my place while I'm gone then go for it: https://catalog.neet.tv/harlequin.html
I like the streamlined approach to modding in the new Steam version of doom
>>11161774The concept is very nice at least, the mod browser still needs work

>>11161927Drop them in your Nuked SC-55 folderDownload loopMIDI, run it and add a port, name it something convenient if you want.Usually thats enough if your using Woof, just set the audio device to your loopMIDI port, but for some sourceports like DSDA you need to map your port using VirtualMIDISynth or Coolsoft MIDI Mapper.If you want to use it in DOSBox-Staging, you have to select the General MIDI option in the game's setup utility, this also needs VirtualMIDISynth or MIDIMapper to work.To launch, open loopMIDI first then Nuked.
>>11160998not too bad but too much contrast and the blood is stupid
>>11161949What if I use GZDoom?
>>11161970You can select you device in GZDoom, just select the loopMIDI port
>>11161974It's not playing anything
>>11161986you have to launch loopMIDI and Nuked, in that order before you open GZDoom or anything where you want the midi to play, it dosen't launch automatically.If that dosen't work go over the other post
>>11161949>>11162051nta but thank you for this. it sounds amazing.sounds a bit low compared to VirtualMIDISynth tho.
>>11161091>playing it with HND>"mortal"Heh.
