>>12529442
Damn, that's a good sector car.

Slaughter maps and just big fights in general: do you prefer maps that focus on BFG use, or something slower with a rocket launcher? Or scaling down even further and relying on plasma gun or super shotgun.
Personally I can't get enough of super shotgun, then I'd say rocket launcher is second favorite. I don't despise BFG or plasma gun, but super shotgun has this amazing quality of being useful both upfront and from some distance, in terms of fighting a horde of demons. And rocket launcher has to be used with care in regards to splash damage which leads to more strategical gameplay.
As a side note, Legacy of Rust also had calamity blade which felt great, but there wasn't enough of a chance to use it a lot. Its vertical limitation should have been explored more too.

>>12529382
>Ogres plutonia
One of the Plutonia locations Doomguy visits is Shrek's swamp. What happens?

>>12529458
The BFG is boring and kind of unsatisfying. The plasma is almost great but you can't see shit with how huge the projectiles are.
Rocket, shotgun and chaingun are where it's at.

>>12529442
Seconding, nice car, great trick with the wheels.

Are you serious? It looks like the tyres have been slashed.

>>12529458
I find the super too slow for slaughter usage unless it's against a massive horde of imps or other low health enemies.

>>12529483
I don't know, anon, looking at that windshield situation I think that car really isn't on the greatest of shapes...

>>12529483
>slashed
or they melted in the heat.

>>12529458
>Slaughter maps and just big fights in general: do you prefer maps that focus on BFG use, or something slower with a rocket launcher?
Both, ideally: Lead up to the map that focuses on large scale BFG fights with maps that have the rocket launcher or plasma rifle as the best weapons. Super shotgun gets used when there's a "lull" in the map or the fight isn't too crazy yet.
>>12529483
The intent is too look neglected; the windshield is shattered, too. It's from Economy of the Dead and everything has a look of being abandoned.

>>12529483
Exactly. Flat tires (who cares if the look cartoonish) allow to put the car straight on the ground, which is much more believable than the usual solid black texture with a round wheels painted on it because you can't just make an empty space under the car.
Maybe you can with some linedef shenanigans, but I've never seen it.

>>12529487
>>12529491
Oh, fair enough, I misunderstood the intent. I am not familiar with the source wad.

>>12529494
Yeah, I already realised (or rather it was already pointed out to me), I'm stupid, sorry.

>DBP77
It's a nice one, though short.

>>12529485
Fair, really big hordes can't really be held back with just super shotgun. It's not made for a certain level of chaos.

>>12529491
Yeah, kind of what I'm thinking about. Putting the player up for different situations requiring different tools sounds like the best choice. In same vein, I'm wondering if people find defeating cyberdemons with low yield weapons entertaining or not. Personally I do enjoy chipping down with a super shotgun or chaingun more than trying to 2-shot with a BFG bump.

>>12529507
>cyberdemons
Those are either unwilling assistants, turrets to force movement or deny and area or a actual enemy, a part of the horde.
In the first case, they're likely to die in the process so it doesn't matter, if they're turrets just let the player telefrag them or crush them after the fight.
If they're an actual enemy, I'd either use the BFG or the plasma, if I have the ammo for it. In that case they're probably priority targets. If they aren't then it falls into the first case.

I posted the 'Escape the Lab' post yesterday. It is my first project in UDMF format and I put a whole bunch of stuff together in a decoration file and edited a bunch of stuff and added a texture pack with no idea what I was doing.

Was looking for confirmation it all works which it does. So my project can be removed from this list, I'll upload another version when I have 2 finished maps ready to play.

Tanx.

>>12529442
The flat tires are a fantastic touch for this.

>>12529791
If you say so.

>solution to unlock visible but inaccessible secret must be anchored nearby
>solution to unlock visible but inaccessible secret can be anywhere in the entire level
Which do you prefer?
I feel like there has to be a limit to how obscure and hidden you can make your secret switches. Like the whole "one third of the puzzle has been solved" shit in hexen

>>12529872
There should be a logical connection between the two. None of this "interact with mildly discoloured square to open closet on other side of map" bullshit.

>>12529872
>Which do you prefer?
0 secrets, focus on combat.

>>12529791
Best of luck, anon. Mapping can be a wonderful, fulfilling activity. I haven't had a chance to play your map but I'll wait for the next version.
Keep mapping, keep making stuff. You'll get there in no time.

>>12529872
I prefer if it's either nearby, or maybe if there's something that would clue you in that what you're interacting with is for accessing a secret somewhere, probably a secret that you saw earlier.
This can of course be hidden inside of another secret (which maybe even is nested inside a secret area).

>>12529872
As long as there isn't a point of no return for a given secret. I recall one secret especially so early into the map that you're pretty much ignoring a large chunk of the rest if you want to reach the secret exit.

>>12529931
What if the secret itself was the one way to return?

Ah appears to be a port-specific thing that Ironwail lacks.

How does one git gud at Blood? I beat the game on Lightly broiled as I do with every shooter but I can't for the life of me beat it on Well Done. I'm struggling with my ammo and maybe my positioning, at least I have no idea what the fuck to do when a shit ton of enemies just spawn when I open a door.

>>12529458

>>12529491
They all have different uses. The same slaughtermap can utilize everything efficiently. Rocketlauncher for example, is #1 pick for punching through big hordes of imps, for reaching archviles from large distance when coming close with BFG will make you waste too much time or isn't safe enough, etc. Plasma is the only choice for tunneling through big crowds of monsters when you're already blocked and there's no space for RL. SSG is good for quick close quarters maneuvre, to break through sparse monsters blocking your way, when BFG or Plasma is too slow and wasteful and RL is too dangerous because explosions may hit you as well. BFG is pure DPS, when you already have enough space and don't need anything special you go for it.

Also I'll say it again and again, play Ice Cavern from Whitemare, 10/10 map with absolutely crazy (not in a good way sometimes) secrets.

Anyone knows how I can check the number of monsters I killed across all the wads I finished on Doom Launcher?

>>12530258
Got done with that the other day for the first time six years. Whitemare is a gem. I recommend it to anyone involved who enjoys both slaughter and corridor Doom. Side note, I never finished Whitemare 2, and am looking forward to it.

Thinking about adding in some secret cameos to my was like duke 3d did with Indians Jones and Luke Skywalker etc but I just can't think of any. Anyone got some good ideas?

>>12530270
What's the theme of your "was" (sic)? (I assume you actually meant wad, and are making something for Doom)

>>12530262
All I remember about Whitemare was some maps were such a slog. Tedious and drawn-out. Low health and ammo, grinding through monsters one at a time with the shotgun.

For me 90% of Blood difficulty come from (cheap) ambushes, once you learn where they all are, the only difficulty that is left is bulletsponge bosses, which you should have enough resources to deal with once you trivialize the ambushes.
Use aerosol can and flare gun whenever it's safe to save ammo for "faster" weapons.
Napalm launcher trivializes gargoyles and cultist packs, tesla melts hellhounds (it melts almost everything).
Chegosh is dumb, bait him for melee hits and step back, repeat.
Don't forget about the voodoo doll. And dynamite, game gives quite a lot of it.
I'll be honest, I still have no idea how the life leach works.
And of course look for the secrets.

t. just beat Blood for the first time, first 3 episodes on Lightly Broiled and 4th on Well Done

I've been putting together something small as a warm up before I get back to my main shit. Got early versions of three weapons set up, though I still need to add the missile launcher and the 4 weapon, along with some upgrades.

The TL;DR here is the yellow and purple guns will recharge slowly when not being fired, but you can speed that up by shooting shit with the short range red laser.

Are there any plans for a second fore/vr/ alone or vertex relocation?

Well ideally when I'm done with setting all this up, all 5 weapons will be quite powerful and useful, they'll just come with their own quirks:

>red laser (starting weapon, chainsaw and berserk upgrade it)
+High DPS
+Replenishes ammo for everything else
+Cuts down enemy projectiles
-Burns through its own charge fast
-Short range
-Locks up if you empty its charge
-Doesn't inflict pain states

>Yellow gun (starting weapon, chaingun and plasma gun upgrade it)
+Long range
+Best ammo
+Has the best upgrades
-Middling DPS without upgrades
-Doesn't inflict pain states

>Purple gun (Shotgun, SSG and plasma gun upgrade it)
+Big dick burst damage
+Pushes enemies back
-Lowest ammo
-Low fire rate
-Doesn't inflict pain states

>Cyan/blue gun (BFG)
+Biggest dick burst damage
+Lingering AOE on impact
+Causes pain states frequently
+Can be overcharged to completely shithouse monsters
-Has to be charged to fire it at all
-Can only be shot once before needing to cool down
-This cool down gets longer the more its charged
-Will have a very heavy arc if it's not fully charged

>Missiles (Altfire for everything, rocket launcher upgrades it)
+They're missiles
+Will be able to tap the altfire button shoot them pretty fast
+Can actually inflict pain states
+Upgrade lets you charge it up, use more ammo, attacks change depending on your current beam
-They don't recharge, you'll need to shoot things with the laser or pick up ammo
-You can't carry many of them

I replayed Zexion recently and I love that game, so I feel compelled to make a spritual successor to Space Hunter and base it off it. I'm also considering making the purple gun set monsters on fire for some afterburn.

In the 90s as a kid I played like this:
forget WASD,
normals arrows for movement, but arrows left and right rotate camera instead of strafing,
bind < and > to strafe left and right,
spacebar = use
Left hand main fingers on < and >, smaller two fingers on spacebar, thumb unused
right hand press arrows and ctrl to fire
The rest (like automap, switching weapons) you can configure to your taste and keyboard model, if you have page up and down right next to arrows you can use them to cycle weapons for example.

Why is making a BFG tier weapon so hard? I mean I know WHY it's hard to replace the BFG and its bullshit hacked together idea of crowd control, but seriously. One weapon left to replace and I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I should just rip off Legacy of Rust and have a calamity blade that targets air monsters too.

Make a chain lighting weapon that connects to all monsters in certain radius of hit with diminishing damage after each step.
Make a laser that pierces through all enemies in a straight line.

>>12530396
What format?

>>12530405
Both ideas are good. The latter is already kinda CB-adjacent too.

>>12530412
Dehacked. Specifically, MBF21's DSDhacked because it's what Helion supports and I'm making a mod with cracked guns to focus on what I like about slaughter (speed and dodging).

>>12530396
Calamity blade that isn't limited to one axis is too busted to exist. You're looking at a magic free win button at this point. Keep in mind this shit pierces, if you can aim it anywhere then you don't even have to switch weapons anymore no matter what's going on. The only limit left would be ammo, and it's surprisingly easy to conserve it by not shooting full charge shots all the time.
How about some delayed explosive kind of weapon? Like a grenade that sets off after 5 seconds or something and does a really huge explosion.

>>12530414
Are the rest of your guns already powerful enough to mow through crowds?
You could maybe make some kind of slow projectile that doesn't do a ton of damage but stunlocks enemies. Either as a ripper, or the projectile spawns an invisible thing that does a very fast 1-damage melee hit for a few seconds. I think that would be extremely powerful in the context of big encounters. Being able to effectively "turn off" a few monsters at a time.

>>12530418
It wouldn't be a charge up, it'd shoot like 5 blades for 50 ammo or something. I'm focusing on making everything streamlined so I can focus just on target prioritization and general spatial awareness, charging up each shot goes against that desu. Delayed explosives sound kinda useful, but also a bit gimmicky for my goal.

>>12530421
Kind of, but in different ways. You start with a beefy machine gun that's accurate but a tad slow, the shotgun is just a faster SSG with less spread, the SSG is replaced by a mini missile launcher, chaingun is a pair of SMGs with crazy high RoF but closer to vanilla damage, RL is a bit faster and the rockets leave fire on impact and the plasma rifle is a slightly more accurate old BFG that does the damage over time thing too.
The calamity blade is thus appropriate as the BFG, I think. Stunning monsters is already kind of a recurring theme.
The chainsaw is just a freebie plasma rifle with infinite ammo but less damage and a "reload" every few shots.

Lighting effects on my project are coming along nicely. I decided to start on the lighting before I finalised my choice of textures which I will no doubt regret when I go back to setting textures probably tomorrow.

Lighting in Doom is done by setting the brightness of contrasting sectors to mimic lights and shadows so more sectors equals more separate surfaces to apply textures which means more work.

Oh well, it's a labour of love anyways.

>>12530372
Not much for vanilla Quake a think, just because the monsters aren't quite suited for it.

I remember one of the maps of our first Quake project did a little slaughter thing. I believe it was 70 something monsters total, and this would be sprung on you as you finally came out of the central tower into the surrounding courtyard.
Essentially, you needed to continuously strafe a wide circle around the tower, dodging monsters and outrunning projectiles, focusing primarily on just letting them all infight each other.
This was fun, but also pretty simple and repetitive, and I think this kind of encounter would only work as a one-off in a set.

>>12530373
Carmack approves of slaughter as a way of testing and demonstrating the capability of his technology. You bet your sweet ass that he saw Go 2 It and was satisfied to see a fan of professional character and quality (soon to be an actual professional), come up with yet another cool way to show off his technology.
Oh sure, he was working on the more ambitious engine for Quake at the time, but Final Doom leveraged the comparatively lower software overhead versus the growing power of hardware, to make something none of his own guys had even made for Doom yet.

Making the lighting is one of my favourite parts of doom mapping and it really sells the level. You can vastly over exaggerate the contrast of light and shadow and it really adds to the atmosphere. This pic is from my previous project.

Start by examining the BFG9000 and its function and role. What does the BFG do for the player?

The melon is almost just smoke and mirrors, rather, it's the massive amount of semi-auto-targetted strikes which can either be focused on just a lone enemy for massive single damage, or fanned out to strike multiple, anything from a few to several dozen (at the cost of individual hitting power). This is at no risk to the user himself, that Baron can go down on his (backward) knees and gleefully kiss the gleaming tip of the BFG9000, and it will sordidly annihilate him while leaving you unharmed from its effects.

Thus, a weapon aiming to fullfil the BFG9000s role should be able to put out a high amount of damage to potentially many targets, or all focused to fewer or even single targets, and with ease of targetting (probably even assisting in targetting or otherwise finding targets for you), AND without itself endangering the player. Or, at least significantly/easily.

Depending on what your mod/game goes for, you could perhaps alter the balance of these aspects and even introduce risks to its usage, but one of the big utilities of the BFG9000 is its very eminent "I want to eliminate that target right this instant." and "Get these guys off me NOW!" qualities.
Conceivably, you could perhaps split these into a primary fire and an alternate fire (maybe with separate ammo types, maybe with just one), where primary fire is the ranged, but potentially somewhat risky wide and fast annihilator, while the alt fire can very safely disappear many weaker enemies close to you, but lacking in ranged power projection.

tl;dr a weapon of the BFG9000's role should be the player's mighty, gurthy, and vhrome plated 10" cock in his arsenal, a strongly capable one which can maintain a rockhard erection even if just for a bit.

First type would be realistic enough at close distances tbhdesu, and I think it's entirely acceptable to do.
Second type almost sorta works for longer distances, if you've ever shot tracers at a long range, or stood by someone doing it, you basically see these glowing dots flying away from you. WW Nazis did it reasonably well with long tracers of this kind.

To make the second type more realistic, you'd want them to move really fast at first, but then progressively slow down after a certain distance, and also you need to bring in gravity now to make them slowly descend towards the ground.
You'd also need a bit of a streak visual going, a fading but bright trail, and to really nail it, you would need to also depict the occasional ricochet, which are easy to see with tracer bullets. Slow and short little bowing trajectories from the bullet using most of its movement energy to deform and deflect against a hard surface.

Now we're really in milsim autism territory though, and GzDoom isn't 100% readily set up to properly do all this shit, getting into full on bullet physics emulation would be crazy unnecessary for something that's not HDest tier.
Probably doable though, and only with modest jank.

Oh wow. Small world. Played through the first level with increasing creeping sense of familiarity. You're >>9498670 . I was >>9500405 . I still missed the rocket launcher secret.

Do you like other types of areas in Doom besides tech base themed ones? Do you think hell-like areas look dope, or maybe the city levels? Space + hell designs common in WADs? Maybe something more abstract, or any gimmick you can think of from thousands of levels made by people. Ice levels? The dreaded sewer level?
I think a combination of hellish and tech base is the best fit for Doom. The game is blocky for obvious reasons which is a natural fit for futuristic artificial structures.
City levels and anything trying to look natural is doomed (pun maybe intended), unless super mapping autism is involved. They just don't end up looking natural. City levels in Doom 2 and TNT were just incredibly ugly kek.

>>12531037
My favourite is Egyptian theme I think.

>>12531037
>I think a combination of hellish and tech base is the best fit for Doom.
Well yeah I mean the game was designed around techbases and hell-corrupted techbases.
I've seen some good city levels though. As long as you don't expect 100% realism. Running Late 2 had a good one. And City of Doom (cod1-11)

Spooky caves (non-hell)

Also a cramped version of any of the above (E.g Chainworm Kommando)

>>12531037
One theme I really like was Speed of Doom map31
It's basically The Mucus Flow (obviously, it's a Darkwave0000 map) but with tech and computer textures instead of rock and grass

Just finished Stagnant Weather.
Good wad, not as good as Economy of the Dead. Would benefit from a few revisions here and there. Apart from the BFG that should be accessible but isn't, it has has one doorway you can't fit through without crouching.
The BFG secret on the last map is ridiculous, the least they could do is give you a visible mark on the minimap if you found the computer area map on another secret. Absolutely retarded to expect anyone to find a tiny little button THAT hidden.
The God Machine knockoff doesn't work that great. That gimmick just really isn't that well executed here. The damaging floor on the fight with the archvilles feels cheap and the final solitary pain elemental is a mockery of the cloud of pain from the real deal.
The final map is really interesting for capturing the feel of the Cube movie with the aesthetic, but the final fight throws it all away for being outside on a wide open area. Which also makes it rather easier than some previous fights, even without the BFG (I only cheat for the secrets after finishing the map).
Difficulty is good, maps are all good but not really memorable.

>>12531324
No, not really. You see what the mod asks and use it if we're talking those. I think most if not all Build games had to have their code reverse-engineered, since their source code is either still behind locked doors or effectively lost to time.

eduke and nblood. Duke modders often provide their own .exe with a version of port best fit for their mod. Shadow Warrior is dead but you can use VoidSW

Either has to be nearby (at least close enough to hear the secret opening) or has to very clearly be visually related to the secret (via color scheming or props or whatever), so that the upon seeing the solution the player immediately recalls the secret area.

Turok 3 is shit, so no big loss.
For real though, it is inferior in every conceivable way than 1 and 2. It has a couple surprising set pieces, but most of the game doesn't even have thought-out enemy placement. It just spawns enemies somewhere in the distance and has them run at you. So enemy kills aren't satisfying. You aren't accomplishing anything by killing them. You're just expected to rush to the next area or let your ammo deplete against a tide.

Eduke is the only source port for Duke mods. But every little patch breaks basically all mods, so mods come with their own versions of Eduke. There's also Eduke addon compilation which includes 90% of mods ever made, and it's maintained and bugfixed always as the new version of eduke releases.

Visually Raze is the gzdoom equivelant of Duke, but has no modding support at all. It has not even support for all expansions. Also it has those horrible gzdoom circle skies, so I don't like it. Sure it's better than the official World Tour port, but that isn't a big achievement.

Played that already. I don't remember if I did my blogposting back when I finished it, I think I did but nobody cares and I won't bother looking for it. Very good, a couple of spicy fights, not too long and good theme.

Terrific. Will play them starting with Shatter Realm.
Caustic is pushing it a bit with so many maps, I like wads a bit on the shorter side, I'll download it and leave it for last.

The only cool thing about Turok 3 was that they tried to do facial animation in cutscenes, but it looks kinda jank.

I played on an emulator 15 years ago and I got to the last boss but lost that save before beating him. I owe it to myself to beat this game now. It'll probably play fine on my older laptop but I'll have to wait until I get back home.

I'm the MacBook guy and I have been using Linux over Windows since 2012
I'd use it over Mac OS if I could too
Have not yet seen a game I could not play on Linux, but I don't do AAA games or online, also 00s PC games work better on Wine than on modern Windows, and that's my main thing, along with customizing every little thing.

Fair enough. The game does expect you to beat the game with both siblings though. Even though 90% of areas are shared between them.

So far, not very "slaughtery" but very arena-heavy (unless that's what people here call "slaughter"), maybe the most I've played so far of these new Q2 maps.

Gradually getting closer to something complete here. Still just a simple mod meant to make bigass slaughtermaps more enjoyable by way of making the player's weapons hit damn hard and such.
Still trying to decide what direction to take the player character in, since I recently got in a bit of a NIN phase again and named the mod after Year Zero (mostly for the ARG). Kinda thinking it's ye ole "the future is FUCKED and we're sending some idiot back in time in hopes of maybe unfucking it" plot, so it's not too hard to come up with something but still. The choice of leather jacket and brown gloves isn't super militaristic, you know?

>>12531153
People who care about challenge do grow toward maximalist levels as a way to stay engaged, as they develop better control and skill level with the game. People were doing this in 2001, and they're still doing it now. It tickles people's brain than their reflexes to develop and execute this long term choreography, since basically any small group of enemies can be outmaneuvered with ease in Doom.

Not saying low monster counts can't be dangerous, Ribbiks himself has an exciting example of this in MAYhem 2016, map 18, or that slaughter can't be formulaic, but few mappers overall seem interested in making dangerous maps with 30-60 monsters like E4M1 or Maria, than dangerous maps with 3000-6000 monsters. If you get what I'm saying.

Personally, long as it's fun to move and shoot, will play both kinds. It's all Doom, in the end. I like Doom.

>>12531357
I do. It's straight up superior. People say Windows just werks.
No, comparatively, Linux just werks once you get over the very small learning curve.
Windows Update is the biggest shitload of fuck compared to updating in Linux.
Windows update:
>check for updates
>download updates
>this takes like 10-20 minutes
>restart 3 or more times
>pray Windows Update didn't completely break like it already has 3 fucking times for you, causing you to be unable to update in the future unless you search on the internet for hours for an obscure fix
Linux update:
>windows key, term, enter
>sudo apt update
>wait under a minute
>sudo apt upgrade
>wait under a minute
>it's fucking done
>this always works

>UZDoom added a command-line argument that shows pride colors on the launcher
Glad to know they're adding the important stuff.

>>12531639
Also lately it seems like Windows Update breaks Windows every fucking month haha.

>>12531639
>>restart 3 or more times
>>pray Windows Update didn't completely break
What manner of deranged shitbox are you using?
>t. day-one upgrade to Win11 who has never encountered the huge amount of bullshit people seem to have invented about the OS
Windows updates genuinely take less time than Linux Mint's updater.Though that's probably because it's on a machine that gets booted up every few months, so it always has heaps to install.

>>12531639
>People say Windows just werks.
In the sense that you rarely need to fiddle with dependencies for any common software, yeah, which the vast majority of computer users never had the patience for ever.
Otherwise, people have always complained about Windows, in fact, now more than perhaps ever.

>>12531651
I've been using Linux for years and years and have never had to "fiddle with dependencies."

>>12531647
>What manner of deranged shitbox are you using?
Nah, nigga, that part is real, Windows Update is known to break shit sometimes (it once randomly killed my laptop's wifi drivers), and actually a lot recently.

Decided to pick up Economy of the Dead because someone else mentioned it.
I don't really know much about mapping but I had a lot of fun. I got blown to pieces a couple of times but It's alright. Now I know how to strafe around aisles properly at the super market now. I get most of my groceries delivered now but it's still good to know how to.

>>12531683
>I don't really know much about mapping but I had a lot of fun.
Some people find mapping theory fun and engaging even if they don't actually map, but usually it's something people start paying attention to if they they enjoy making levels.
To me, it's an added layer of enjoyment, and analyzing other people's maps helps me learn.

>>12531651
>you rarely need to fiddle with dependencies for any common software
How can you call yourself a Trve 90s Gamer if you've never had to fight with games all installing their drivers to system32, overwriting each other, and crashing?

Anybody wants to play some vkQuake multiplayer?

coop or dm

>>12529423
but i thought people were saying Raze was shit like in the last thread

>>12531694
Maybe I should get into mapping. at least see what it's like, just so I can appreciate some of the work these people put into their stuff.

>>12531734
It still is. Might be easier to work with for a programmer with no prior Build experience though.
Also,

I don't know why someone would get excited for a modernslop mod like that.

>Raze
>It wont run any mods
I'm not sure why someone keeps parroting this. Why won't it? I played Death Wish through it and only had one issue which was fixed with updating to the latest version. The modern mods like Marrow worked just fine out of the box.

I guess you mean mods like the weapon mod... which runs on DOS version only anyway. So at that point it doesn't matter which port you pick.

>>12531757
Does it run WG Realms? AMC TC? Alien Armageddon? DN64 and Total Meltdown TCs? Even just vanilla-ish maps like pepsodent's Weather Report?
Hell, I'd be surprised if there was a decent level of compatibility with SW stuff.
If all you care about is Blood, it's fine, but you're missing out by not using NotBlood anyway.

>>12531757
Death Wish is not a mod, it's a vanilla mappack that is supported by DOS

>>12531654
Every package manager literally installs the deps wholesale for you, and if a program binary is outdated and complains that libpng is v2.5.2 instead of v2.5.1, then compile it yourself or look for an appimage, it's not hard.

>>12531764
To be fair, I doubt that Graf went out of the way to remove NBlood tag extensions, like he did with eDuke32 CON stuff. On other hand, he probably never added anything newer than his fork either.
I wonder if Eviction works.

>>12531760
>Hell, I'd be surprised if there was a decent level of compatibility with SW stuff.
There's no SW stuff. It's dead, Jim.
And VoidSW is half-finished and basically abandoned, so it's not like there's any alternative better than Raze for SW. inb4 JavaGDX

>>12531796
>he never played TaiWang and Rampage Warrior
not that you're missing out

BuildGDX is in fact the recommended port for the only major SW campaign currently under construction, Doki Doki Island.

What the fuck was Xatrix smoking with the Beta Class Gladiator in The Reckoning? Those things are by far the worst bullet sponges I have ever experienced in an FPS. Would be fine once in a while but they're everywhere in the moon base.
