Why aren't you playing a Doom WAD right now?

i prefer the build engine

Last year I played 64, TNT, Evilution, and 1994 Tune Up and I ended up feeling like I had seen everything there is to do with the limited enemy/weapon/object set of Doom... Maybe I'll play some more wads some day. Pirate Doom looks funny.

>>717466330
pirate doom is genuinely really good

>>717465465 (OP)
I've got Hedon and Ashes installed. Although I guess those are more then wads at this point. I think. I don't know enough about Doom dev so claim I know what I'm talking about. I also downloaded this Build engine game (do we call those wads too or something else?) called "The AMC Squad". It's pretty great actually.

There's only so much you can do with doom before you've exhausted it's mechanical depth and your playing the same game with a fresh coat of paint. Its not a comp mp game with infinite replayability.

>There's only so much you can do with doom before you've exhausted it's mechanical depth
Eh, Doom's depth comes from the level design and enemy placements. You can have two maps with the same exact enemy types and numbers, but so long as the level layout itself is different, they'll play completely differently. Because of that, you can't really "exhaust" Doom's mechanical depth, which is why WADs still keep getting made.

Played AUGER;ZENITH with some anons recently actually, it was a lot of fun. Haven't played a lot of Doom but looks like there's a lot of cool WADs.

>>717465465 (OP)
The graphics make me dizzy

>>717466330
The original pirate doom is great.

>>717465465 (OP)
I have probably played over two thousand hours of Doom, anon.
Lemme rest for a while.

>>717466484
Hedon and Ashes are completely separate games running on the GZ engine.
Build has funny file types like grp and bak and I don't know them very well.
Blue orc is cute. CUTEEEEEEE

>>717465465 (OP)
I mean, I was literally playing The Tower of Babel earlier...

>>717466484
AMC is great. Its main flaw is that it adds a ton of game mechanics that aren't really needed and therefore doesn't commit to them, like the wallkick, the pda scanner giving you upgrade tokens, etc. But the level design is extremely kino and I loved exploring them.
Doom has a ton of great wads but it also has a lot of slaughter shit that I'm not a fan of, my favorite was Eviternity 1/2 and the Antares megawads

>>717466098
This and Based

>>717465465 (OP)
I'm completely burnt out on Doom and probably will be for a long ass time.

>>717470836
I haven't even tried the wizard yet I only just began. Figured I'd start with the Blood looking guy.

>>717465465 (OP)
>decent megawad
>turns into slaughtermap bullshit halfway through

>>717471781
same. I grew up with doom 2. but its one of those games that always feels good to play

>>717465465 (OP)
mosts WADs are shit and either a babies first attempt at making a map or monster spam that conveniently gives you a BFG right off the bat

Any good anime themed mods?

>>717465465 (OP)
I have better games to play.

>>717465465 (OP)
I got burned out playing an absolute fuck ton last year and then trying to at least skim every cacowad winner early this year. Still playing a tiny bit of doom here and there but I'm still not ready to go all the way back into doing full wads all day.

Are you brain damaged?

>>717472686
There's a touhou wad.

>>717473078
I was thinking something more neo-tokyo ghost in the shell-ish, if that exists

>>717466571
>There's only so much you can do with doom before you've exhausted it's mechanical depth
wrong. people have been making fresh and interesting WADs for decades and they still do.

>>717465465 (OP)
Everything new I try turns into closed-off arenas.
I'm so tired of them.

>>717465465 (OP)
What wad is that? When I google the filename, nothing comes up

>>717473643
play ashes/afterglow/hard reset

>>717465465 (OP)
Is it possible to code RPG mechanics and dialogue UI into this engine? I heard GZDoom is really flexible but seems like it's only ever used to create boomer shooters.

I am!!
Question: Is it ok to savestate? cause once the shielded mutants appear, oh boy...

>>717473792
Yes it is.

>>717473806
Neat, thanks

>>717466098
Are there any other user made build game level packs that are the same caliber as Blood's Death Wish? Particularly Douk or Blood? Not wild about Shadow Warrior. If there are any actual decent Redneck Rampage packs I would be willing to check that out for the novelty.

>>717465465 (OP)
I've finished Pink Valley a few hours ago, I don't want to play for now.

>>717465465 (OP)
is there a guide or PNG explaining how to install Doom WADS?

>>717474517
Step 1: click the wad file
Step 2: drag the wad file
Step 3: release the wad file over the game exe

Where does an anon like me start?

I'm glad Doomworld banned DBP once and for all. These guys are lunatics who "declared war" against Doomworld and keep doing conspiracy theories against them.

Step 1. Find yourself the IWADs for Doom 1 and 2.
Step 2. Download a Doom source port. I personally use Nugget Doom.
Step 3. Download DoomRunner and set up everything there.
Step 4. Find yourself some custom WADs.
Step 5. Play Doom.

Alternatively, you can just download the Doom quickstart folder from /vr/: >>>/vr/11913064

Eviternity 2 is making me need frequent breaks with all these tight fucking arenas with tons of revenants and nightmare pinkies.

>>717474128
BuildBros, the best we can hope for is that The Last Exterminator is good and gets a decent amount of TCs

>>717478728
was this taken on raze? ive been meaning to try it now there is a better alternative than eduke

>>717479282
It's a whole new open source game engine built from the ground up. Feels really close to Build though.

>>717479885
it's about damn time someone created their own engine from scratch

>>717479885
cool
I'll probably buy it just for that honestly. I'm a sucker for dudes who make their own engines, and doubly so if they design it in a way where it's meant to be easily modded.

>>717474128
I've heard good things about Duke Nukem Alien Armageddon. If you want something that's on Build but isn't going to be like anything you've ever played before in your life, there's always AMC Squad.

Playing VR shooters.

/v/ is too stupid and casual to play decent wads so it's not worth discussing and I mean this 100% unironically
