>>12311140>[09-01] - No Time 2 Freeze released, a winter megawad by the Russian Doom communityJesus fuck, it's September already?
>>12311158
If your map has literal multiple thousands of monsters (and it's not for some gimmick like a big crusher) fuck you.
>>12311170the gimmick is the bfg and rocket launcher
>>12311224That gimmick is for hundreds, not thousands. If my finger gets tired from holding the mouse button down, your map sucks.
>>12311139>>> CLASSIC DOOM CHALLENGE <<< This time, instead of a max demo, just boot up Doom 2 while recording (-cl2) and see how far you can get in a single segment. You don't need to get all kills or secrets, though they may be helpful. Winner is whoever makes it furthest, or whoever beats the game fastest, I suppose.Reply to this post with a demo & your time.Current records and more examples can be found here:https://dsdarchive.com/wads/doom2?level=D2AllHere's an example demo by me where I foolishly die early on to a big spider. This is my first run, I've never really routed Doom2 before, so it should be easy to beat. https://files.catbox.moe/e4uoz8.lmpWinner of the previous challenge last thread (didn't beat my time, but wins by default): >>12305808I figure this is perhaps the only wad people are familiar enough with they can get reasonably far in a single segment without practice. If people like this idea maybe we can try with the other iwads.
>>12311260No no no, I've got a better challenge. You play the game of your choice on the hardest difficulty, and every time you take damage, you punch yourself in the balls. If you're not sterile by the end of the game, you win.
>>12311260The /vr/ Ironman League dies to Doom II: Hell On Earth
>>12311170>>12311228If there are that many monsters you are probably meant to make them kill each other. Monster infighting is less efficient than the player's attacks, but it scales extremely well, to the point of being "embarrassingly parallel".
>>12310004i heard kind of confusing stories about thisbut i admit i sort of bounced off of Wrath despite on paper liking ithope the new project is fun, i like gorillas and the quake 2 regular shotgun so that's a plus already lol>>12310120I haven't found it eitheri saw one sigil that said "nails" but the only hub map secret I found was a hidden religious poop bucket
>>12311268Oh rest assured, anon. I've fought in enough arenas by now that I understand the value of making monsters infight. It's a feature I appreciate in user maps, utilized a lot more than it was in the base games. But if they use a ton of the same monster (assuming it's not zombies) the infighting breaks down a lot.Right now I'm burning out on another wad because every goddamn room is a mega fucking ambush with unreasonable shit like 50 archies surrounded by a ring of chaingunners.
NT2F old map10 is awesome. I was thinking to do a uv tyson challenge for it due to how ridiculously overpowered first/chainsaw/pistol are, but other anon beat me to it. Anyway, I recommend everyone to play it (tyson-style!)
>>12311292I really like the Archvile and turret that lay down delayed explosives. I hope this wad introduces some other interesting enemies.

>>12311260i died to The Pit https://files.catbox.moe/36k0do.lmp
>>12311139Friendly reminder QBJ3 is made by trannies who are actively patrolling these threads. Friendly reminder most Quake 1 projects are made by Fairweather and his tranny cabal. If you see his name anywhere, simply call the fucker out and move on.
>>12311512So what does that make you?
Does UZDoom have any new scripting / modding features yet?
>>12311514A chaser, I think it's called.
>>12311292I missed downloading the old version before map 10 got removed. Was it just the one section that was copy pasted from eviternity? Any ways to still play it?
>>12311520I got it, one sec.> https://files.catbox.moe/oo8pkp.zipHere ya go.
>>12311523Thank you.
>>12311523"Too Hot For Doomworld Edition"Thanks
>>12311228Maybe your dinky little fingers need some exercise.
>>12311516Ask again in an year or two.
>>12311516The changes so far
>>12311561What's so security critical about it?
>>12311639Probably some more arbitrary code execution shit, older versions of GZDoom had that problem.
>>12311639If you don't upgrade it makes a bunch of hypersensitive snowflake trannies feel insecure and invalidated, gives them panic attacks, and makes them cry.
>>12311643I guess that makes sense, but I don't exactly go rushing out to grab whatever GzD mod I can find to run on a whim, certainly not stuff which others haven't already been playing, so I don't see myself at any particular risk.>>12311649Give it a rest, you annoying faggot.
>>12311660I don't think anyone's actually had any sort of misfortune happen to them during the period of time when these exploits are discovered, but it's one of those things where the team jumps on that shit immediately to fix it because it's a bad look.I mean fuck if I released a mod that had a 0 tic loop in it that crashed the game or some shit like that I'd update it immediately and tell people to download it posthaste.
>>12311670>I don't think anyone's actually had any sort of misfortune happen to themI was mid-asking about this. Hard to imagine anyone actually running out to use GZDoom as an attack vector.That's good, at least.
>>12311643Since ZScript has been added there's been at least three of those.>>12311683I know at least one of them allowed just replacing any file on your hard drive with demo files, pretty comprehensive way to fuck people's shit up.
>>12311660It's suspicious. They use fearmongering tactics to scare you into upgrading in haste, thus sneaking unwanted features past you until it's too late. You can't possibly object to this update, it fixes a remote code exploitation vulnerability! Except that is only triggerable in 0.001% of circumstances, but then you run the game and find Doomguy wears a dress and has pronouns.
>>12311719Geez. Kinda makes me worry about when other ports will start wanting their own little versions of ZScript.
>>12311275>I haven't found it eitherI found the Nightmare option (It's pretty obvious) I just thought it was going to be something boring as usual. Turns out Enemies have completely new behaviours on Nightmare.
>>12311759Not everything has to be a conspiracy that involves your obsession with transexuals you fucking clown. Seek help.
>>12311895https://lunaran.com/copper/changes/#nightmareThe jam seems once again heavily based off of Copper, and it's newest branch does more than set the max HP to 50.
>>12311759definitely chuckled
>>12311512yep avoid the shitseers like you would avoid medusas stare. the trannies are out for blood and will permavan you from their safe spaces through mere telepathy
>>12311913I'll keep using slipseer just because it triggers you. Whoops!
>>12311915so when are u gonna permavan me from here. u know it was not right to do that in your dickscord
>Oh, its just an attention whore that can't stop thinking about transexualsNevermind!
>>12311759Occam's Razor, my demented friend, suggests they're touting the security update part as trying to make UzD look more legitimate and developed than GzD (whether it substantially is or not). Making themselves look more competent than Graf is most likely their Number 1 priority right now.I imagine that if they're gonna do any troonery shit, they're gonna be too lazy to make an entire Troonguy spriteset (player sprites, HUDface, weapons, and all, that shit is a lot of work), and rather just add it as one of the gender options and call it a day. Given the wide range of 'subjectivity' you can see with nupronoun bullshit, they might allow for the player to just add custom genders and pronouns, so someone can correctly identify as Imp/Impself.If ZScript can identify a player's selected gender and then execute things based on that, this could potentially be used for all kinds of hilarious shenanigans, if you were so inclined.
>>12311921only trannies like faggot makkoona matata with AI texture slop would fail to release a 2gb+ download properly, ruining the rocket launcher, and with maps that soft lock themselves. this is entirely about u and ur tranny goons watching these threads 247 lmao. what are you talking about.
>>12311937makkoona matata is a great meme, but real talk if 2GB downloads die on people it's their fault. they just need more mirrors or offer a torrent.
Posting in a /pol/ thread.
>>12311931>my demented friendHey! I have schizophrenia, not dementia.>Making themselves look more competent than Graf is most likely their Number 1 priority right nowThat is actually very insightful & I am persuaded.>they're gonna be too lazy to make an entire Troonguy spritesetWe can but hope, but we must never underestimate the zeal of those pushing an ideology.I agree with the rest of your post.
>>12312040>brutalist retarded>start using qbj3>megaman generator>always drama>brazillian high
>>12312051They after that shalrussy hell no
>>12312061nigga...
>>12312040>shitseerMy fellow slipseer sister, or should I say, shitseer shitster?
>>12312069You gay if you wouldn't fuck the new shalrath model my esteemed fellow Afro-American
>>12312114actually that would make u a disgruntled tranny lesbian looking for tighter shit stained pussy. I could swing off that shit like tarzan
I just barely started QBJ3...someone post that particular model so I know what to keep my eyes open for...>>12312051I love that shotgun. It fun.
>>12312125Why cacodemons are so cute?
>>12312137>I love that shotgun. It fun.I wouldn’t mind if its spread was just slightly more narrow. You’ve REALLY got to be in someone’s grill to have all those pellets hit. I guess the tradeoff is having more consistently staggered enemies through the mod’s Copper origins, and it does work well when you’re getting rushed by a swarm of those melee zombiethings.
I'm just not going to use it (ZScript), sorry but not sorry
>>12312172I never claimed to be a woman. But you did demonstrate you can't stop thinking about transexuals though.
>>12312040>post bad project>trannies scene looking brutalahaha this is a good one
>>12312161Your UZGame will never make it I'm afraid...
>>12312161If it doesn't work on Chocolate doom its not Doom
>>12312051What even is that?
>>12312212a vore blogging!
>>12312179>I never claimed to be a womanTHEN WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN THEIR BATHROOM
>>12312212
>>12312218Horrors beyond imagination...
>>12312216I don't go in womens bathrooms anon. I command you to continue to demonstrate how much transexuals live rent free in your head.
>>12312157Shooting it really reminded me of a more spammy Flak Cannon, which isn't so bad but yeah, a tighter pattern with the pellets instead of a sprinkler system would have been nice at the sacrifice of some volume in favor of stopping power. But it's okay. I can kill the weird mouth monolith things with it if I have good conditions but could use a tweak.That classic shotgun design though is beautiful.
>>12312179That hate is all he has left to try and cope with his empty life, don't be taking that away from him, Anon.
>>12312229Those eyes are so far apart it kills any sense of focus. Ranger is supposed to look alert. Bitch looks like she's perpetually buffering bsp files
>>12312218Oh. Oh no.
>>12312161That's fine, I don't know how to use ZScript either, I'm just gonna stick with my simplistic Decorate, and then DecoHacked.>>12312240>Bitch looks like she's perpetually buffering bsp fileslmao, I'll have to remember that one
>>12312229Cute.>>12312218>>12312242
>>12312240>bsp filesYou are such a nerd.
>>12312245Reminds me of that guy who's waifu was an archvile with tits. Cacobro or something?
>>12312246calling someone a nerd for knowing bsps in a quake thread is the funniest self-report of the day. got any more of that insecure and delicious irony nigga?
>>12312258I'm stunned your skin is so thin it's just a membrane. It was jokes. Why you mad nerd?
>>12312258He might be mad he didn't think of it himself.
>>12312262>Why you mad nerd?Like answer is hating Slipseer jams, unlikely schizo brainrot answer is hating the imgur link
>>12312262What does he say when activated?
>>12312218>>12312245
>>12312279I like the rebar stuck in him. I killed a few of those yesterday but couldn't get a good look at them. Creative model. >>12312286https://youtu.be/NRkY5ExbzF8
>>12312279One of the guys who submitted a map got assmad about the Family Guy map(s) having homosex jokes in them, ranted and raved about the gay mafia and was subsequently banned off of SlipseerWe may have him as an esteemed guest in our thread
>>12312296Jesus Christ. At the end of the day, it's just games. How fragile is the machinery of their mind?
>>12312296holy basedcan't say i couldn't understand a spergout given the dogshit map
>fag-enabling in mods is fine and 'just games'>being against this is /pol/ and 'fragile'This is all horribly transparent.
>>12312296Was he upset that people were making fun of the gays, or that any gay jokes were enabling the "gay mafia"?
>>12312319holy esl
I love slipseer
>>12311260I'm upsethttps://files.catbox.moe/e8soqa.lmpI guess that's why they call it "Gotcha!"
>>12312353Oh fucking hell man that's harshI don't think I've ever had that happen except when I was trying to trigger it intentionallyAnd then the rocket launcher didn't even work properly! I burst out laughing at that point.I hope you end up winning, you deserve to after that.
Don't think I wanna do the challenge this time, it's just gonna be me slowly maxing out Doom 2.
>>12312364You don't have to max it
>>12312367I know I don't have to, but it's just my default instinct when sitting my ass down to play some Doom 2 on continuous, it's etched deep into my brain, you see.
>beat the second mission>go back to the landing pad to be scooped up>notice some Imperial officers who hadn't been shot yet so I walk over to them to get rid of them>mission ends in the middle of everything>the next mission isn't unlockedUh...did I miss something here? WTF.
>>12312379Oh I see, you have the same affliction as I do.When I did my run I kept having to remind myself "you don't have to do this / go after that, just leave!"
>>12312040one day there will be Duke in the middle
>>12311558Last time I gave something a year it hasn't come back.
>>12312380you got meme'd into playing shovelware by unironic boomerssee also: redneck rampage
>>12312380Haven't played DF in like 20 years so idk what that could be, but I think it's hilarious how they didn't even try to hide the awful AI upscaling on the cover art.
>>12312417Wow, they didn't even try did they? That looks BAD.
>>12312417Of course they didn't, it's Nightdive.
>>12311649You sound like you are having a panic attack.
>>12312380You playing the Dumpsterdive remaster? Pretty sure you need to press a button in the menu to end a mission in the original.Wouldn't be the first time they added new bugs in their """definitive""" editions.
>>12312306Far as I can tell, it's just like lolcows and the people who watch them: the difference is only in the title, because they both generate endless amounts of lols>>12312307It's a shitpost map but I liked it honestly, got a knight to slip on the banana>>12312319I think he was reaching for anything to say QBJ3 was turbogay honestlyI'm still having fun in concrete land, lads, will be sad when I close this jam out
pretty funny how on slipseer qbj3 gets nothing but pats on the back resulting in 5/5s
>>12312501Concrete land is a lot of fun. I liked Alkaline a lot too.
>>12312474It's a toggle you can set. For the first mission I had it just play until I told it to advance but for the second I tried the automatic feature only for it to do that and negate everything I already did.
>>12311260>>12312353https://files.catbox.moe/xsezax.lmpI used -recordfromto to continue playing right before the softlock, and made it to the end. But technically that makes it a TAS.Also got all kills and secrets, except I had a brainfart in map27 and forgot about the 30-second secret.
>>12312505Mention Ter Shib, Nyarlathotep, the doom 3 hell map, or Altar around xhem and watch the spergout
Is the Quake 4 in Quake II demake still going on? Saw some info about it here a few months ago and thought it looked really cool.
>>12312618The jam was a failure, so one of the guys behind it is just making stuff by himself I guess. No idea where it's at.
>>12312652I told ya, but sprony is a moron.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU345 MINUTESMAAAAAAAAAAAZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUpretty cool shit btw, loved the secret hunt even if I couldn't find 15 of them, albeit having to go for a long while with just the pistol was somewhat a grind
>>12312618>>12312652It's called Q4Lite now and will basically be whole Q4 campaign redone in Q2. Supposedly getting released this year, but we'll see.
>>12312245>>12312218head too much like doom 2016should have been closer to the oiginal
>>12312716looks a lot better than the shitty player character, at least
>>12312161>>12312204>>12312243at least mbf21 exists
>>12311139
wtf is this? Mutated giblets?

>>12312829unbreaded chicken nuggets
>>12312829Tendies!
>>12312743What? You don't think some frumpy mesoamerican dyke with alien eyes makes a good main character?
>>12312417They didn't use AI. It's pretty well known that they re-rendered everything.But no one can actually recognize AI anymore so we're fucking cooked bros frfr.
>>12312851>frumpy mesoamerican dyke with alien eyesLmao well phrased
>>12312890uh huh... Whatever cheapass 'artist' they hired definitely would never lie about not using AI.And Nigdive surely would never back that lie to cover their own ass.
>>12312618>Quake 4 in Quake IIWhat is even the appeal of this
>>12312931You don't want a custom campaign for Quake 2? The hell man?
>>12312931>announce jam dedicated to game that nobody liked and most haven't played since it came out>supposed to remake slow, boring, linear levels in a much faster game that lends itself to openness>encourage spamming dynamic lights everywhere despite them looking ugly without textures that react to them>get literally 1 finished map submissionApparently there wasn't any appeal. >>12312943>just accept this giant turd on a plate bro>it's cooked and breaded, nothing like the original bro>it's more content broGib yourself, quaddniggur.
>>12312829Fatbergs.
>>12312943Might be interesting if it's the idea of the Q4 campaign with the modern "fat" trimmed from it. I'm really looking forward to Return to Perdition which is more "Q1 in my Q2".
>>12312905I like that Jabba is now a force ghost instead of a hologram.
>>12312992What I'm saying is, Doom 64 for Doom II is a great wad.
>>12312998It is actually yeah it surprised meI thought it'd be terrible and obnoxiously hard but it wasn'tI ended up really enjoying it
>>12313006So there's a possibility Q4 for Q2 will be fun.
>>12313010Oh right yeah I see what you meanSorry I am a different poster from who you were speaking to beforeI rather butted in, it was rude, I am sorry
>>12312998Is there a "Doom 3 for Doom 2"? That might be more of a fair comparison. D64 is basically classic Doom gameplay so it makes sense that D64D2 translates so well. You might even be able to argue it's an objective improvement since it puts the missing monsters back in.Quakulf tried a test map for KexQ2 using extracted Q4 textures. It translated surprisingly well. I also prefer Q2's gameplay much more than Q4's so it might be a similar but much more objective improvement in the gameplay department.
>>12312040>discord anon playing tranny point
>>12312417It's weird because they redid all the CG cutscenes from scratch, so you'd think they would've redone the box art render too.
>>12312890if they re-rendered everything, then they did an impressively shit job.
>>12313040None of those CG cutscenes have people in them. Anyone with enough technical inclination can wrangle Blender to model basic architecture or blocky spaceships and figure out how to move them around with keyframes. Most of that is pretty intuitive, and there's a gorillion tutorials out there.But most intuitiveness goes out the window when you have to model, rig, and animate characters like those stormtroopers on the cover. That will take the average person MUCH longer than even the biggest, most greebly space ship. Nightdive is about as cheap as non-indie developers get (only beaten by Aspyr) so they probably found a really cheap 2D artist to definitely not AI upscale the still frames, and got whoever on their team who fucks around in Blender occasionally to do the 3D stuff - which you'll notice has much less polish in animation compared to the originals despite the higher resolution.
Instead of playing Q4s shitty maps in Q2 I'd rather someone mod Q4 so it didn't have a shitty linear campaign.
>>12313093>mod the linear campaign out of Q4>then put that into Q2having cake and eating it too
>>12313093Doesn't Quake 4 require some shitty, barely functional editor to map for it because nothing more modern has bothered to support it?Or maybe I'm thinking of Wolf09.
>mod Q4 so it didn't have a shitty linear campaign.I thought that Doom 3 Phobos mod was exactly that but they decided to go more exploration/puzzles like Half-Life which...is what Doom 3 was anyway?>>12313096>Q4 Redux>Q4 Redux DemakeI can see the vision

>>12313101Q4 uses the inbuilt idTech 4 editor same as Doom 3. I think Raven excluded that from Wolf '09.
>>12312998I love being in the UK
>>12313145Don't worry, the governments of other countries are prepping to fuck over people there too.VPNs are going to get real popular soon, I fear.
>>12313150What are you going to VPN to when every country does it?
>>12313150They'll ban VPNs too.
>>12313145LOL mate I am right there with youI reckon some people do this deliberately, just to spite us. Like the French.
>>12312905Smart blur/oilify, cleaned up, edge detect or cartoon filter and probably cleaned a little more. Kinda lazy, but not AI.And it's not a 3D render, which is what the cover is. The 3D parts are all re-rendered. Unless you think they were using AI for the videos (they weren't) they have no reason not to just re-render the cover. Only thing that looks weird about the cover art to me is a sharpening filter.
The year is 2030. Ben crouches in his mouldy flat as the police roll up outside. The law is clear. His four encrypted drives stuffed with unlicensed Doom mods carry mandatory five year sentences. The officers storm up to his door and bang on it shouting a demand for his “licensed content manifest”. He knew he shouldn't have told his aunt Gertrude about his doom modding hobby that that one Happy Holiday before they turned off the internet, the old bat probably tipped them off.As the police begin battering the door down he shoves the drives into the back of the his old freezer, tucking them behind the halal meats. They'll never look there.
>>12311139out of all the promotional things made for DOOM, which one do you think is the best?nothing could beat that kickass box-art.
>>12313178LolLike I can afford meat hereGood post though, very prescient
>>12313208The comic, obviously, even if it's been tainted by NuDoom.
>>12313208Probably the boxarts, they're really good.

>>12313178Oi! You gotta loicense for them D**m mods?
>>12313526
>>12313526Delicious. Reminds me of the time I made a casing spawner loop by mistake and crashed the port.
>>12314213I took a break from fucking around with the plasma+BFG combo thing (Current plan is shoot it for a bit, the gun shoots slower and has stronger projectiles that force flinch, then builds up to firing BFG tracer blasts until you let go of fire or run out of cells)Implementing the backup attacks for the SMG here: You run out of normal ammo and you'll fire projectile flechettes that deal less damage. The reload won't drop magazines for this later on.
>>12313526Cool looking weapon though. What weapon pack is this for?>>12313529>Playing DRLA>Find a sphere with Renegade's face on it.>Just starts flying all over the place, spamming "AGH" as it shits shotguns everywhere.
>>12314241I'm fucking around with a little experiment to condense Doom's arsenal of 8 guns down into 4. So pistol + chaingun, shotgun + SSG, and plasma + BFG. Rocket launcher is by itself cus it's cool like that. No altfire for the guns, altfire is dedicated to a sword button because I don't like the vanilla fist.Guns all operate with a single button, but they do different shit if you either press the button or hold it. Like for the rocket launcher here: A single press fires off a barrage of three rockets, and holding it does a more traditional steady rocket launcher attack. Because I don't want to make people manually click each time to shoot a rocket, that sucks.
>>12313526>a gun that shoots gunsI'm pretty sure Doomguy has had at least one wet dream like that.
>>12314245That rocket launcher is cool as hell. Is this going to be for Combined Arms? BYOC? Or its own separate thing?
>>12314250BYOC and its own separate thing. This is another case of me flexing too hard to just leave it exclusive to BYOC.That and I want to show my cool edgy OC to as many people as I can. Reception of this guy has been pretty warm so far.
>>12314253Badass. Can't wait to play as him. And the Froise.
>>12314256The Froise is some serious shit, he's the best worst thing BYOC has to offer. He's the only class I know of where you can play semi-DM while playing co-op with other Froise's because of the irradiated casings the plasma gun tier weapon spawns. It's fucking hilarious. Have a comic based off true events I did to another player during one session.
>>12314265Kek. This update can't come soon enough.
>>12314248I don't think doomguy is that much of a gun nut, since he throws away his weapons after each map.
That is an awful low amount of news in the OP.Is just nothing going on right now or is the Doom scene dying?I haven't been up to date for like a year or so; the last big thing I heard was that there's a new fork of GZDoom.
>>12314295>No news in the 4chan Doom general and ONLY the 4chan Doom general means the Doom modding scene is dead.>Right after Kegan posted news on a new mod/BYOC class.I will not stand for this doomposting.
>>12314295It's dead. And the one who killed it... was me.
>>12314301I DID IT LIKE THIS!
speaking of which, is there any reason to play the new blood or is it just suits trying to capitalize on the boomshoot trend before it crashes?
>>12314295Nothing's really going on, anon. I have a mod that might come out later this week though, just waiting for some sprites to finish cooking.
>>123143120. None. Nil. All worthwhile things offers is either free fanmade stuff (Marrow, Death Wish) or present in ports (the weather effects, but I forget which port has them now).The rest is just Nightdive changing things for the sake of changing things, and some dubious convenience, achievements and redone cutscenes if you care.
>>12314295The real, non-pretending-to-be-retarded reply, is simply that no-one bothers to reply to the newspost, and the only job of the threadmaker is to update the new newspost with the replies to the current one.In the past some obsessively tryhard former threadmakers have chosen to take on actual newshounding as part of their job, but I don't think the current jobholders see it that way, nor do I think it's reasonable to expect it. Traipsing around all the other doom sites looking for news is up to the community as a whole to do collaborately.
>12314320>collaboratelycollaboratively, sorry.
>>12313909They would not be manly enough for that.
>>12313858Lo Wang is supposed to be a Chinese Ninja, for the record.
>>12314270>I don't think doomguy is that much of a gun nut
>>12314270He grins whenever he picks up a new gun.
>>12314295Lulls are bound to happen, but truly it's everyone's responsibility to contribute to it if they know of a very recent release or significant news regarding retro shooters, and it's not in the newspost or its replies.Ideally, reply with a post bearing the [dd-mm] bracket, a link (for forum links, you can usually cut away the rubric and just leave the thread ID), and then a very short descriptor of it.Even if you do it without the ready formatting, it's still a good contribution.
>>12314364that level is also called chinatown by the way
>>12314378Like, if any of you guys ever just briefly scroll through releases on places like DW, DB, or hang in any major Discords, and you see any significant releases (megawads, gameplay mods, new works by recognizable names, source port updates, anounced collab projects, etc).That doesn't just go for Doom either, we like Quake, Duke, Blood, Turok, Wolf3D, Half-Life, etc, etc, so doing the same from spaces for such retro games is equally useful.
>>12314270>THE BFG9000, OH YES!
>>12314295It was just X-Mas a couple of weeks ago, people take time off so progress and releases are probably put on hold a lot.

>>12314496Old post gone, you're completely correct.
>>12314295>Doom scene dyingIf Doom scene is dying, no modding scene has ever been alive. Actually Doom scene has never as active as it has been this decade. In last week alone we have already received actual final-ish release of Extermination Day, and new russian high quality megawad No Time 2 Freeze. This year should see the releases of TNT Exolution, Delirium, Kuiper, Corruption 2, Avactor 2, JENES15, Happy Time Circus 3 and Dissension 2. It's just that most mapping/modding groups exist in Discord rather than forums or image boards.But yea /vr/ suffered slightly after 4chan hacking, because lot of tourists came here due lack of moderation, and it drove some people out that actually contributed on our projects. When we eventually start new Doom project, more sane people will come here. Don't worry.
>>12314496All upcoming ones are for remaster, except Return To Perdition, which will be the most biggest and most high quality campaign Q2 has ever received.
>>12314513>But yea /vr/ suffered slightly after 4chan hackingEven before then the burnout had hit pretty hard.
>>12314513>actual final-ish release of Extermination DayWhat, the brutal doom starter pack? Where was this reported on?
Just found out that psyren (Crimson Canyon, Rylayeh, Elegant Agony and Blood TC guy) released a 32 map megawad on 2022 called PSYKOPLEX22. Nice old schoolish maps. Somehow I completely missed this one.
>>12313178I kek'd, but died a little inside knowing it will come true
>>12314527Yea. On DW. ChebSkies finished it, after Mark abandoned it.https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/137366-chebskies-extermination-day-perfected-20-is-out/
>>12314245I love that rocket launcher
>>12314537lol it's that bloated to fuck one that's only intended for his special edit of BD.
>>12314537Oh I see. I was aware of ChebSkies' version but thought it was a fork. I didn't know the original was abandoned. Thanks for your help.
>>12314546I'm playing it and enjoying. But yea, this is the most complete one that we'll ever get.
>>12314546Oh is it shit? Forget it thenI liked the original starter pack, especially the map where you assault hell with a horde of allied marines, tanks and shit
>>12314550Supposedly it's not completely abandoned, just on a back burner like a lot of his stuff.

>>12314656NTA, but video players have this really cool feature called "pausing" and another neat little thing called a "seeker bar". By utilizing them both, you can go to a specific frame (the very first one, for example) and not have it automatically play!

>>12314790
>>12314786I love TNT, but I also understand this because there's a lot to NOT love about TNT.It's a very early collab megawad for Doom 2, and not every contributor was so talented, so it ends up as this rough mixed bag. There's some good chocolates and gummy candies in there, but the candy corn obviously expired many years ago, and that apple has a razor in it.There's maps that I love in TNT, and maps which I hate, and there's also a lot of subjectivity there, because some people love O'Briens giant maps, but most people don't.TNT Revilution is a MUCH stronger, smoother, and more even product, but it also has a pretty different feel, it lacks a lot of the original's grit (in bad and good ways, mind).Plutonia is popularly considered the better half of the original Final Doom for its gameplay and map design, but something I always wanted to do was to actually combine the best qualities of Plutonia and Evilution.

>>12314270>pistol starts>canon
I like continuous play. It adds an element of strategy where you're trying to finish the map with as much ammo, health and armor as possible.
>>12315019I used to do that but found I was always overpowered and drowning in stuff I couldn't pick up after two or three maps.
>>12315032>overpoweredJust play harder wads bro.
>>12315036Do you have any recommendations? Harder wads especially seem designed for demo recorders for whom pistol start is required. If I bring a load of weapons and inventory onto a map whose first room gifts me a shotgun and a pile of shells, I immediately feel I am playing it wrong. Other than Doom and Doom2 what wads were made for continuous play?
>>12315019I like the Dakka format of it where you don't get to take all of the ammo to the next map.
>>12315046Yes, while most wads are balanced for pistol start, that doesn't mean the harder ones won't still be hard as fucking balls played continuously.What is the hardest wad you have beaten?
>>12315065I don't know how to answer that, it depends what you mean by "beaten". Plus it's been decades since I played continous with savegames so I can't remember. We should probably end this conversation, I can already sense you are just going to get annoyed with me.
>>12315083>I don't know how to answer thatAre you retarded?
>>12315083What is the hardest wad you have completed every map of, Ultra Violence, pistol start?
>>12315059>Dakka formatThe what?
>>12315091Autistic, but I'm sure you'll say that's the same thing. Nevertheless, different people mean different things by "beaten". I need to know your definition before I can answer your question, to avoid stupid, worthless, timewasting misunderstandings that always happen when I have to discuss matters with neurotypicals.>>12315092Oh, that's easy, Plutonia. Maybe MM2 except for one map, I've never quite managed to get 3x100% on map19 because the computer map is so awkwardly placed in a timed crusher trap, and it's so painful to play through I just don't find it fun to retry.
>>12315127>PlutoniaOK, yeah.It's likely that you'd feel that something like Ancient Aliens or Valiant was challenging enough to be fun even with continuous play, let alone something like Sunlust, which you would likely find ball-bustingly difficult, even with continuous play.And Sunlust isn't even that hard compared to a lot of the shit being released these days.https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/107015-wad-progression-for-skill-improvement/ this is a good git gud progression.
>>12315127>>12315131And if you decide to follow that progression and try Scythe first, like, I absolutely fucking guarantee you that you will find Fire and Ice ball-bustingly hard even if you start it with 200/200, all weapons and full ammo. You will still likely use every cell available on the map.
>>12315131Ok thanks for your advice.I already know Sunlust, I've done all the maps pistol start but on lower skill levels (for three I needed ITYTD, embarrassingly)So I'll try doing that continuous with saves.>>12315136Ah yes I'm familiar with Scythe. I've pistol started the first two episodes on UV and the third on HNTR. The last map is indeed a buster even on HNTR where you drown in invulnerabilities. It's still easy to die suddenly even when you think you're safe.
>>12315046>Harder wads especially seem designed for demo recorders for whom pistol start is required>If I bring a load of weapons and inventory onto a map whose first room gifts me a shotgun and a pile of shells, I immediately feel I am playing it wrong>I immediately feel I am playing it wrongI think more map makers at least give some consideration to continuous play than you think.You're only "playing it wrong" if the map maker specifically made an exit a death exit and you're somehow bypassing that to keep all your shit for the next map.If the map maker did not choose to make the map have a death exit, then taking all of your shit into the next map is, by rule, not "playing it wrong," as it is a possibility which was fully intended by the mapper.An example of a wad where continuous play was clearly accounted for: Eviternity 2.The Perforator is incredibly powerful. As a result, it is usually only found in the final map of an episode. This is a clear sign that the designers of the wad, for the most part, do not want that weapon being used outside of the levels it is found in.
>>12315131I've been using this to look for set to ween myself into playing harder things:https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/124160-wadmap-difficulty-scaling/
>>12315151>An example of a wad where continuous play was clearly accounted for: Eviternity 2.>The Perforator is incredibly powerful. As a result, it is usually only found in the final map of an episode. This is a clear sign that the designers of the wad, for the most part, do not want that weapon being used outside of the levels it is found in.Wait, I'm retarded. I was confusing Eviternity 2's Perforator with Hardfest 2's infinite rocket launcher, which is usually only found in the last map of an episode.The Perforator is typically only found in secret maps, making it a significant reward for continuous players who choose to play the secret maps.Also, D2ALL is a thing that I'm sure many mapmakers at least give some consideration to.
>>12315118Dakka. It's a gameplay mod and the default setting resets all of your ammo to a certain amount. It's pretty big brained.
>>12315204I never liked pistol starting but absolutely fell in love with Dakka starting, and wish it had a standalone mod that could be put on anything. Its the perfect middleground to stop hoarding without resetting progression entirely between maps.
>>12315224>and wish it had a standalone mod that could be put on anything.Best you could do is a general one that you could change to fit to mods since not everything classifies ammo as ammo.
>>12315224I like hoarding during continuous, though.It makes the whole episode (or wad if the wad doesn't have episodes) feel like one big survival test.
>>12315229Yeah thats the issue I ran into trying to make one. After seeing how mods like gunbonsai run into problems regarding ammo classification and how it gets incorporated into stuff like reload and inventory systems, I don't know if even zscript could make a really universal system. I'm certainly too fucking stupid to do it myself.
>>12315239I like hording too, until I realize I'm not using good shit as much as I should, which is why I stated messing with pistol starting in the first place. Going into levels with max plasma ammo is like going into final bosses in an RPG with max healing items, while games like Heretic would only let you carry over 1 of each item to encourage you to use them more. That type of middleground is great for breaking those habits.
>>12315251Yeah but on the plus side I've been getting better at berserk fisting revenants and hell nobles lately due to hoarding.
>>12315253The best way to get better at tysoning is to be forced to, especially when a map is designed around it. Why do you need the ammo if you never have to use it? It's just a number on your hud at that point.
>>12315258I've been forcing myself to berserk fist lone revenants and hell nobles lately regardless of how much ammo I have. I'm better off for it.
>>12315258>Why do you need the ammo if you never have to use it? It's just a number on your hud at that point.Number must go up[.
>>12315262Absolutely, just recommending the next step. Keep at it anon.

Where do you draw the line between partial and total conversion? Is it even a meaningful distinction?

>>12315719Partial still has significant elements from the base game, total doesn't.
>>12311140Pvt Stone's had another update, a new weapon, more reload stuff .etchttps://skelegant.itch.io/pvt-stone/devlog/1315753/update-to-v155-qol-extra-polish
>>12315719How is this even a question? Partial conversions replace part of the assets, total conversions convert totally.
>>12315092i want to say blues brothers but i'm stuck at that last map

>>12315983I remember playing Malice Refine but never got far, always got bored
>>12316024It's certainly an acquired taste. Level design is schizophrenic at best. Shotguns are great though.
>>12314475>cautions against potentially disturbing imageryHmm. I like Shadowman's maps so I'd play Bloodfire anyway, it just seems like an odd thing to point out for a Doom thing.
>>12315983What makes it an ULTRA conversion?
>>12316218Probably because he was banned from dw for using "disturbing" Shadow Warrior sprites.
>>12316218He got banned from Doomworld over the title of his map in Whitemare. So he's just being extra cautious now.
>>12316241It's like one step removed from being a standalone game, makes a lot of changes and not much of the original is left over, if the dev maybe had a whole studio or financing it probably could have been a matter of just licensing the quake engine source code itself and making a full unique game, but instead it's just built on top of quake itself as just a heavy duty modInterestingly, most all commercial products that used quake 1's engine were just mods/conversions that required quake itself, only Hexen 2 was a unique game with its own unique edits to the quake engine code, Quake 2 was the one that got proper unique games build on its code, like Doom before it
>>12316307>>12316309>look inside wad since I don't have time to play it atm>AI-generated videos made into animated textures for what I presume is a cinema level (gotta admit the concept itself is cool)>one shows a woman getting shot in the chest>another zooms out to show a chick hung on a lightpost>another shows rows of women tied to crosses>all this in some presumed post-apocalyptic thingIf I had a dime for every time in recent times I saw a mod feature violence against women in skimpy clothing, I'd have three dimes. A couple more and I get myself a candy or two!There's also some wack nazi/commie shit in there too I can't understand, since I can't read or speak Russian, but the DW crowd would certainly get on his case for the AI gen ryona stuff.FYI, not mad or anything. He knew what he was doing and put up the warning, to get mad when you were told about it is utterly idiotic.
Why is doom still considered a good game when it's so dated? It's all chip tune buttrock and 2d sprites going "arrggghh" there's not even jumping or crouching, or grenades, and the enemies seem like they can hit you when it's not even possible to shoot you?
>>12316309Lmao. Russky not being permanently mad at every other country on the planet, difficulty nightmare.
I really like playing QBJ3. What utility can I use to look at the monster models? I'd like to draw them.
>>12316463There is a gallery in the tutorial level. You prob want something better than that though.
>>12316478Gallery would be okay. I can take screenshots. Thank you.
What wads are similar to Sigil or NRFTL? Not a tryhard copycat but feels somewhat classic in look and don't turn into a slaughterfest by map11?>>12316478

>>12316731It had not occurred to me how recent the aftershock release was because when I was seeing joke posters for like chatGPT related stuff i instinctively went "hang on chatgpt wasnt that old" and saw the release was 2023, vs 2019 which feels both not that long ago but also ages ago, fucking 2020 man
>>12316782everything went so fast after 2020
>>12316794the fact they changed it to "SKUB" was pure genius, though funny enough I saw some jokes and posters in aftershock that seemed way more prone to controversy than just a "gay joke" and yet got away with it
>>12316803ogay is still in, skub is just new
>>12316731but where does AMC fit in this list?Finally got around to replaying since the days when it just used mashed up sprites from whatever the fuck in 2.0/3.0 and honestly, it's wild the shit they can pull off with just a modified eduke32, though I can see the seams threatening to rip apart at any moment when the map is huge enough, or the AI followers just completely bug out
>>12316816>but where does AMC fit in this list?the retarded cripple two states away in a mental facility which most of the family pretends doesnt exist

I like monsters. Post your favorites, either OGs or custom sprites/models. I like the Sabre Knights from Alkaline. Cool lightsaber sounds. Makes me pine for a Star Wars conversion.
>>12316949Exploding enemies are becoming my favorite thing to see in Quake maps (now in PNG format)While not a new monster, Enyo's ogre replacements look awesome.
>>12316949Not exactly a "monster" (though the entity name is monster_rat), but I like the rats in Half-Life. Did you know there are either 5 or 8 rats in the entire game depending on how you count them?>Star Wars conversionHow come no-one ever made one of these for Half-Life, or even just a themed map? Closest thing I've ever seen was an old CS 1.6 map based on Hoth, complete with laser turrets and an AT-ST. As for Quake, there was that Overdose mod that replaced enforcers with Boba Fett.
>>12316991Yeah these are both great. I love the walking pustule enemies that explode. QBJ3 introduced a nice reskin too. Where did the AAAAH suiciders get introduced?
>>12317004>Where did the AAAAH suiciders get introduced?Those guys come from Dwell.
>>12316991serious slop garbage making it's way into quake was a mistake
>>12317002Huh, didn't know there were verminous little rats in HL. Yeah, I think a lot of the textures are perfect in Quake for Imperial dungeons and torture chambers, swampy hell planets, lonely outposts, and spice mine barbarism. Plenty of creatures would be great aliens and droids.
>>12316991I like how AD just straight up copied this nigga from Halo.
>>12316949I'm a fan of Rampancy's Battleroids due to all the different variations of them.>Brown ones with laser guns.>White ones with plasma shotguns.>Blue ones with long-distance laser guns.>Green ones with machine guns.>Red ones with flamethrowers.>Black ones with shotguns and a cloaking device.
>>12317015>Those guys come from Dwell.Thank you! I laughed when I saw them in Serious Sam and fell in love with that game instantly after my first encounter.
>>12317002>Did you know there are either 5 or 8 rats in the entire game depending on how you count them?Are you saying because some are beyond loading zones and would be considered the same from the player's perspective?
>>12317065Maybe it was influenced by bottom-right corner of picrel? (Source: https://androidarts.com/kawaiik/kawaiik.htm)>>12317079Exactly. Not only did Valve forget to remove t0a0b, they left a trigger_changelevel that connects it to the rest of Hazard Course, so if you try to backtrack into the swimming section you'll end up in t0a0b instead of t0a0b2.If you're wondering, t0a0b = t0a0b1 (crate pushing, crowbar, flashlight) + t0ab02 (target range, swimming section).
>>12317107 That reminds me, I haven't looked at Android Arts stuff in a while. I love his style.
>>12317002I didn't know there were rats in Half Life 1 at all. Do they have some giga advanced for it's time AI like cockroaches do?
>>12317138Unfortunately no, they have no behaviors other than staring at the player, and don't even have a proper hitbox. Also they only exist in Hazard Course as decorations.In spite of this, some people came up with a "rat Hunt" gamemode where you try to kill every hidden rat in a map.https://twhl.info/competition/brief/45

Playing Bitter Dream. Just beat map map 05 "The Pariah" and boy, is it tiring. I hate 80% of the map being damaging floor, what a drag of a map. Really hope the rest isn't as bad.

>>12311139i just completed doom on the zdoom source-port, it was fucking awesome.it's a damn shame that i've already knew how to beat the spider-demon, i probably would've enjoyed the boss more if i did a blind play-through. oh well, i don't really care about spoilers anymore.
>>12317361>i've already knew how to beat the spider-demonYou mean shoot at it till it dies?
>>12317367yeah. i did it with the bfg.
>>12317361>>12317371The Spidermind is a pushover of a boss, he's not hard even if you pistolstart and just use the rockets and plasma in the level.Cyberdemon isn't exactly tough in his first appearance either, but he ends up being a versatile enemy when used right, which he is in a few Doom 2 and Final Doom maps, he's like a good heavy support or miniboss.Spidermind does not have that, because his hitbox is gigantic so he doesn't fucking fit unless you provide a LOT of space for him in the level, and also his Super Chaingun makes him start infighting with other monsters really easily (who can then hit him really easily because his massive hitbox).In my opinion, Spidermind should probably have had more health, moved faster, a slightly smaller hitbox, and only be able to infight with Cyberdemons and maybe Archies.
The difficulty of making practical use out of the Spidermind means that when you find a level someone made where the Spidermind is actually used in a good way that's challenging (but also not annoying), that's a sign that the author probably really knows what the fuck he's doing.
Genuine question and it may sound weird when I ask it but I definitely don't mean it in a condescending or negative way whatsoever but in terms of game design, how do people actually die to the Cyberdemon? He's just this giant lug and has literally 1 attack, shoot 3 rockets rhythmically. Rinse and repeat while ambling around. And yet people die to him. Happens to me happens to everyone and if you try to claim it doesn't happen to you, surely you're lying. Such a simple design with 1 attack and nothing else and yet so dangerous. Is it a psychological thing? The design of this enemy fascinates me so.
>>12317496A Cyberdemon by himself is usually easy pickings.When he has an entourage of other demons fucking with you, that's when it becomes a problem.
>>12317496when he's used as a rocket turret from a relative distance while you only have a regular shotgun and limited ammo while there's demons blocking your way on some thin platformsI think i'm thinking of that one ultimate doom level
>>12317496Death is fairly avoidable, but it's gonna depend on how he's used.In confined spaces, he's oppressive as hell, and Doom 64's secret bonus level uses him in a REALLY mean way, having him constantly teleport around a kind of small map.A common one is to put him in the distance, to make him operate as a form of artillery support for the other demons. He's not constantly oppressive there, but you need to be mindful of him regularly sending rockets towards you, so keep throwing glances his way. Combine with other monsters around and this can get very hectic, but since he hits so fucking hard, he can also be WAY helpful in eliminating other monsters for you (this is why he's a staple in slaughter maps, he's guaranteed to kill lots of other enemies if given the chance).Broadly, I'd say that iD didn't have all of the most creative ideas for how to use all their monsters, but a lot of them have shitloads of potential which wasn't really realized in the base game.
Whats the recommended way to play PS1 Doom with the music?
>>12317621psydoom
>>12317236For me it's Battlefront II (2005).
>>12317641If the Battlefronts played like Outcast/Academy they would be perfect. Instead they're clunky jankfests that get a free pass from the spectacle of big battles.

Doom trick you probably already know.Don't waste any time when you're about to grab that new weapon you see-- switch to another weapon, putting your hands down in the process, and then grab that new weapon before your hands come up and you'll be equipped with it nearly immediately. Me so smart, me found that out on my own, Now then, let's see when people figured this out annnnnd... back in October 1994.
>>12317792You know you can just disable auto switch on pickup, right?
How did Strife compare to other RPGs at the time strictly from the perspective of an RPG? I only want to hear your opinion if you fully played and beat the games you're about to bring up.
>>12317796But mayhaps a normie sees my post and is playing the KEX port, the most friendly port there is, it's a good tip.
>>12317808>strictly from the perspective of an RPG?Extremely poorly, since it's an FPS with a bit of RPG dressing rather than an actual RPG.
>>12317808How does an apple compare to other bananas, strictly from the perspective of being a banana?
>>12312671you dont get the true ending anyway because its a cliffhanger, if you wanna get disappointed on your own noclip past the top sekrit computer and see for yourself.
>>12317823So how did strife compare to other FPS games(and first person slashers) of the time?
>>12317946It was still very much a "Doom feeling" game while Duke3D was big and Quake would come out a few months later, and that's in spite of Descent already getting some traction (though some here would argue it's not an FPS). The level progression and NPC conversations were cool, though, and it was still timeless Doom-inspired combat.
>>12317808Not very much of an RPG, but I still like it. It has a lot of character.
>>12316949>I COME>HAHAHAHA
>>12318121
>>12314521Can confirm. Haven't done any mapping since 512 lines, but that was because I contributed to Ad Mortem, 400 min and 512 lines and kind of lost my mojo. I am not creative enough to just pump out maps like a 40oz.
>>12318149It makes for a good Ye Olde Megabustere.
>>12315983if total conversion is a whole new game, ultra conversion is a whole different genre
>>12317792Oh yes this is the weapon quickswitch trick. I was only ever dimly aware of it and never used it deliberately in single player. I don't recall it being discussed much by speedrunners. It's much more of an important thing in deathmatch, I heard it mentioned much more during the brief time I got into multiplayer.Well done for figuring it out for yourself. I was never any good at that sort of thing. I only know the tricks that others have told me. I think the only thing I worked out by myself before reading about it elsewhere was chaingun tapping, you know the thing where you turn it into a sniper rifle by tapping the fire button instead of holding it down because the first two shots are accurate.
