What specifically did I not update?

What are the best Duke Nukem 3D maps/episodes from recent years that are not that hard and have classic feel, not TC-like?

>>11819343
Douk has always been easy. Shooters of that era are all a cake in the park

>>11819349
too small, it should be 40960 units

>>11819353
why this map specifically?

>>11819310 (OP)
Gonna start namefagging so everyone knows it’s me. I’m gonna be running the new 2048 units project, here’s what was decided in the last thread:

>MBF21 compat, mostly for meta map features
>Three distinct episodes with three distinct texture packs - exact ones TBD, there were some ideas, but we’d probably need everyone to chime in before we can really decide
>Title has some kind of word for “three” that has a /vr/ in it? Triumvirate?
>classic 2048 units style, your map must fit within a 2048 square in the editor, exceptions can be tolerated but they must be worthy exceptions.

We need to decide on a title and an exact set of three texture packs for the three episodes. Post your suggestions, as well as any preliminary “I’m in” posts so I can gauge interest. If you want to do more than one map, say so, once there seems to be some momentum I’ll start taking slot reservations.

Sound good?

>>11819361
I say no exceptions, except for if it's outside of the play area.

What about a "monster score"?
Every monster gets assigned a score (1 for rifle dudes, 2 for shotgun dudes, etc.) and you can spend 666 points in total for your monster setup, or to go very small, 66 points.
It's basically a simplified version of the "total monster hp" idea from the last thread.
Maybe combine it with a weapons score (ofc that would warrant making every map mandatory pistol start).

>>11819361
You forgot a tripcode newfag

>>11819361
Why 2048 units again?

>>11819365
Alright, now I should be good

>>11819357
i didn't put much thinking into picking it really, I just wanted some not very difficult puzzle map

>>11819361
>Title has some kind of word for “three” that has a /vr/ in it? Triumvirate?
Three dicks touching? Tricoomvirate?

>>11819361
Triumvirate sounds fucking retarded. keep the name short and simple

>>11819396
freedoom 1&2

>>11819392
Hey don't be mad. I just don't like your shitty faggy title name, that's all.

>>11819361
>slot reservations
Do we actually need to be that strict about it? I figured we'd take the submissions we get and then just stack them in each ep according to type, then we'll try arranging them from easiest to hardest.

I think other questions to consider are enforcing style, that a level picks a kind of theme which is then tried to be adhered to. Not maybe mega strict, but a techbase should be a techbase, a gothic castle should be a gothic castle.
Also, do we let people pick whatever sky they want, or do they have to adhere to one for their episode?

>>11819387
Triumvirate can be morphed into Trium/vr/ate, which I think is a pretty good title.

>>11819361
we got the tech and gothic textures. what's the third one?

>>11819368
Because it's generally convenient and allows enough creativity and room to play without people getting too carried away.
There's enough space that the level doesn't need to be cramped, but you'll run out of room eventually so you're forced to finish it.

>>11819425
That's the question. Is there a hell meat-skin theme somewhere?

Triumvirate sounds like a newly discovered breed of horseshoe crab or some shit

>>11819412
>I just don't like your shitty faggy title name, that's all.
It's not mine, but I don't take kindly to brainlets. You could say you don't like the name, ok.
But saying it sounds retarded and that it's not short and simple just shows that you're an 89IQ retard whose opinion is entirely irrelevant.

I personally object to "Trium/vr/ate" simply because it's not a triumvirate in that three strong men are doing something - I think it could work well for a collab between three popular mappers or something though.
I personally would like something alluding to a triptychon, but that's hard to do with any /vr/ reference.

https://strawpoll.com/XOgOVDQO0n3

shit, I was hoping "don't give a shit" would win

I hope the mega man autist doesn't start shitting up this thread by saying mega man needs more than 1 slot and anti-mega man autist doesn't start coping and moving goal posts but unfortunately I've been here for too long and know better

>>11819312
>gzdoom wad on the news
why?

>>11819435
desu you should have given it 24 hours at minimum

>>11819442
Because it's a release.

>>11819368
That was the only idea that seemed to have any momentum, I suggested 4096 and other changes but most people seemed to want to do 2048 again. >>11819418
People need to commit to one of the three themes if nothing else. Can’t have 26 gothic hell maps if we want to split things by episode.
>>11819425
I suggested some East Asian themed textures, mostly for a map I want to make myself.

>>11819432
Funny how you pretend to be intelligent, yet you're throwing a tantrum like a fucking manchild, the title still sounds like shit. It doesn't matter how many times you have to samefag to get approval for your retarded suggestion.

Keep trying.

>>11819418
>slot reservations
Sounds like a doomworld shitter who's never made map and much less lead a community wad

>>11819459
How?

>>11819457
>I'M NOT MAD YOU ARE MAD!
>I also wasn't able to understand the rest of the post so I have to make a retarded post that makes me look even more retarded
When did this influx of low-iq retard happen? The Doom thread has always been one of the less dumb ones.

>>11819449
>East Asian themed textures
that sounds cool. are there any texture packs for it?

>>11819371

I'd like a chance to post some easier maps to get casuals involved before posting stuff like this

>>11819459
Do you wanna lead this project? I got this job by default, if people with more experience wanna run it, be my guest, but no one else was stepping the fuck up
>>11819473
Allegedly one of the DBPs has a similar theme, might crib from that or Shadow Warrior stuff

>>11819459
What have you made?

>>11819381
Three Testicles Touching

>>11819484
but anon, that's gay.

>>11819459
you don't know shit how projects work, faggot

>>11819486
It's only gay if all four testicles are touching. Three should be fine.

>>11819493
Name one /vr/ project which required slot reservations, outside of vertex relocation for obvious reasons

>>11819361
title should be NIGGGUR

triumverate is just gay, it isn't inherently nonsensical or anything, it's just lame as can be. i'd rather it have some heinously retarded meme name like /VR/EE'S COMPANY than something that sounds like a type of bowel movement.

what’s so strict about it? Slot reservations are necessary to keep track of whether the project has more tech bases than gothic or asian-themed maps. It needs to be balanced somehow

>>11818147
>Are these based on real ruins? What are you planning to make?

>>11819534
Literally the only reason I suggested Triumvirate is because it could be turned into Trium/vr/ate, fitting /vr/ into the word. It doesn't really carry any meaning or intent, and I didn't even know what the word meant exactly until I Googled it now.

I think it's a decent title, but I'm not married to it and I'm fine with other ideas.

>>11819531
>Three Degrees Of /vr/

>>11819543
What about Three Shades of /vr/? Three Sides of /vr/? Three Worlds of /vr/?
>>11819538
Do people actually intend to do super complex MBF stuff? When that was originally suggested I thought the idea would be to just use that to help glue all the maps together. Personally I’d be fine with everything being in Boom format, but that was the restriction on the first 2048 units and people might feel like it’s even more of a retread if we do that. Still open to the idea of doing 4096, that would at least be a change like the increasing amounts of time for the speed mapping series.

>>11819558

Kinky.

>>11819557
Assuming you're not the coping anti-mega man autist whatever the case we now know a few things for sure:
> anti-mega man autist is at least as spergy as the mega man autist (who I don't think was present these last couple of months here, his writing is too spergy and raging to confuse with anybody)
> even before the massive voter numbers, pro-mega man option was winning despite the vote being created by the anti-mega man autist
> logically there is no argument against putting mega man where it was put

And as for my opinion I think having members who care and contribute in a reasonable way is a benefit to the community. Having spergs who autistically insist on status quo and try to keep things from changes - not so much.

THIRD DEGREE B/VR/NS

>>11819431
It's an actual term for the political alliance of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus.
Not like anybody here gives a shit but still.

>>11819580
Isn't Crassus being tortured by satan in the last circle of hell in Dante's Inferno? Do we have any wad based on Dante's Inferno? 9 maps, one for each circle, each one with a gimmick based on the sin each circle's for?

>>11819580
We all know how to use google bud, the fact that the word has a meaning doesn't make it sound less retarded in this context.

>>11819540
tl;dr:

Kudos for the few real ones who voted "I don't care"

>>11819558
>Three shades of /vr/
I like this one, it's simple and it sounds much better than the other shitty one.

>4096 units
I personally think it's too big. maps will become a slog if they're restricted to that size. but if you really want to I guess you should go for it. you're the boss, after all.

>>11819592
You spend too much time here to keep all this dribble inside your head

>>11819597
we're still losing to the care-fags tho
many such cases

>>11819557
The latter probably doesn't even exist, likely being just a figment of the imagination of that one anon.

>>11819602
eh nothing usual happens on this website so whenever ANYTHING is going on your brain stores it I guess
But yeah I should stop spending so much time here desu

>>11819604
nah I have noticed distinctly persistent opposition to the mm8bit edition and now it seems like he fake-voted a bunch of times to try and get people to reverse course with the addition. I don't even think any previous changes were voted on this seems more like a desperate attempt to fake the opinion of majority that clearly is not working

>>11819557

>>11819449
I really like the idea of an east asian texture pack. Would it be OK if mappers included their own textures?

>>11819449
Maybe a Serious Sam style 2048 units wad with every episode having a style based on a major older civilization? Something like 1. Egypt, 2. Rome, 3. China

>>11819619

>>11819531
>Three Degrees Of /vr/
this

>>11819580
>Not like anybody here gives a shit but still.
I do, and I am actually a bit shocked that people, if they aren't thinking of THE triumvirate aren't at least thinking of Rome.
Turns out /vr/ is far less educated (and younger) than I thought.

>>11819639
i guess you never know how many people are read-only but they play the wads and vote in the polls. mega man 8bit does have a huge community but maybe a lot of them are too autistic to post.

>>11819601
I’m the boss, but this only happens if you guys are on board. I might push for 4096 solely to differentiate it from the first 2048. I truly think we need to differentiate this from the first one, and just doubling the map size seems to be the most logical. If there’s a lot of pushback to it, I’m open to discussing other ideas.

Sounds like everyone likes Three Degrees/Shades of /vr/ the most, just to avoid the unfunny “where’s the other 47 shades durr” jokes I’m leaning towards Three Degrees. Simple and to the point.

>>11819650
>they disliked my name because they're all le zoomie zooms and don't RVEMEMBER THVE HOLVY RVROMAN EMVPIRE
Nobody liked the name because it sounds gay, not because you're more educated or intelligent.

realistically speaking, i don't think any regular posters in this thread care one way or the other about that picture. it'd have been updated sometime in the past seven years if they did.

>>11819676
You're on an anime website, made by a weeb!

>>11819639
We get 20 people answering the question on slaughter maps over 22 hours, yet THIS poll is getting 56 fucking replies in a couple of hours? It's complete bullshit, he's IP hopping to boost the poll.

100% of the votes on yes are from The Netherlands, at 11. Do we actually have 11 Dutchmen in this thread who care this much about a forgotten Skulltag/Zandybam mod, but ONLY ONE of these Dutchmen have an opinion on Slaughter maps at all?

Meanwhile, 12 of the votes against are from Russia, yet again, only two Russian IPs voted on the slaughter poll. Just the same, do we 12 Russian guys here, yet only two of them actually give a fuck about the slaughter question at all, and somehow care a LOT about the Megaman mod?

the mm8bdm autist is an example of what happens to this thread if gzsloppers are allowed to post here

>>11819661
that's ok, Three Degrees of /vr/ sounds good.

3072 units could be an option too?

>>11819674
>>11819690
3k would be fine with me, not a power of two but probably a decent compromise. Keep in mind even if we set the limit at 3k or 4096 you could still make a map within 2048, it’s just the max size.

>>11819686
>a vote from the Seychelles
Who here has dirty money?

if megaman autist was smart, he would've edited the picture to include his wad and then silently dropped the new image in a thread, waited awhile and then offered to bake a few threads where he used his edit of the pic without directlt mentioning it. Nobody would've noticed, and if anyone said anything about it he could just claim "uhh I saw somebody post it, I thought it was the most updated version, didn't notice the megaman thing tee hee" and eventually it would've been canon. Work smart, not hard.

>>11819709
From now on, I'll make sure to exclude his version out of spite.

>>11819353
Cheesing the map like this defeats the point of the challenge

>>11819661
Maybe tetromino/pentomino shaped maps consisting 1024x1024 unit squares

>>11819712
Really we should just actually update it. Seven years is too long, the port situation has evolved and tons of notable wads and mods have come out since. The current image is still recommending PRBoom+ which is as dead as ZDoom now. We can even put megaman in there, it's not like it matters because Zandronum is a fucking wasteland in 2025 anyway.

Kesler are Hansen are mapper legends who have been doing maps since 90s, you dumb newfag. Gzdoom map sets are only mocked when they are done by amateurs who don't know the basics of good maps or gameplay.

1024 x 4096
Same space as 2048, but stretched.
Or some cutting up of map pixels to preserve limited space, but allow for non-square shaped maps.

Or allow for 16 arbitrarily stacked 512x512 squares? Again, layout has more freedom, but the size restriction is still there. Pic related

What you consider his best before Dimension Zero, because I've yet to find any charm in his way of mapping.

repugnus please save us

Summer theme (overboard textures)
Or Sunlust tribute theme (summer? sun? get it?)

No size limit, but a time limit (i.e. 1 month) that doesn't get repeatedly postponed, in order to get it finished

>>11819798
and what happens when the time limit is reached?

My opinion on this shitstorm:
Just keep it 2048. It's good size. 1048 makes it too experimental, and with bigger size we are just ending with lot of filler. But what comes to texture sets and themes, I'd rather not use the basic techbase theme or gothictex theme. Now that combined with 2048 unit limit makes this too similar to our 2020 wad. The asian theme sounds good, we just need 2 more unique ones. Maybe underwater? There is nice texture pack for that was used in Port Glacia.

>>11819794
Kmega is neat compilation.

>>11819761
For the last one it was just the playable space. Monster closets were fine.

>>11819745
>>11819761
>>11819773
What if we changed the rules so instead of having to fit within a 2048 grid, the total area of all your sectors cannot be over 2048 units? That would be different but would still keep things on the small-ish side. That makes me happy because it’s different but makes everyone else happy because it still encourages small map making.
>>11819774
I’m making sector art of reimu hakurei and none of you bastards can stop me

The tetromino idea is interesting but would probably be better in its own thing.

Both Gothic and Darkening have their origin in the 90s, so I'd say something complementary.

>>11819827
>REKKR Sunlust
Bad idea because most people can't make maps that are hard and interesting at the same time even for base Doom, let alone for REKKR. So you most likely gonna end up with most of the wad just being stupidly difficult just for the sake of it.

>>11819798
How about snowy textures?

some unwarranted advice from an old head: /vr/ tends to work best under simple restrictions, but not ones that are too overbearing. i'd say if you can't describe it in 7 words or less it's probably a bad idea. for example
>the playable space is 2048 units
>make a map within X minutes
>the map cannot exceed 512 linedefs
all of these projects have had full megawad turnouts, minus 100 minutes which is too overbearing of a restriction. ones with more specific restrictions (VR, that waifu one) or without any restrictions at all (ad mortem, unrattled, faggot maps) have less turnout or take more time to make (AM took 3 years and there's still no release!)
just some things to consider. anyway i'm out, go play struggle, nerds

>>11819836

>>11819812
>The total area of all your sectors cannot be over 2048 units?
I like making big inaccessible views though.
New (stupid) suggestion: map has to fit in an equilateral triangle of sides 3072 (which would be roughly the same surface area as 2048*2048). That fits the "three" theme.

I wouldn't mind a straightforward 2048 Units of /vr/ 2, even with GothicDM textures again or just one different texture pack.

Is Ad Mortem finished or will there be a phase 4?

>>11819812
>the total area of all your sectors cannot be over 2048 units
How about the total playable area and not all sectors total? I made a few maps for 2048 where the playable area was definitely in a 2048x2048 square, but there's lots of space outside the playable area.

Nah, fuck this shit. If someone is interested on Duke3d project with city theme, I can take lead on that. We have had Doom, Quake and Blood projects, but not Duke 3d yet.

>>11819852
>If someone is interested on Duke3d project with city theme

The title will be easier: Duke Nukem Fore/vr/.

>>11819859
That's actually quite nice.

>>11819852
the hard truth is that nobody wants to contribute to dook projects because nobody actually plays the game, they just like posting memes about "i'm here to suck cocks and shit dicks, and i'm all out of dicks" or equivelant. dook has boring environments, boring enemies and boring weapons, and a poop dickem project would inherently lead to boring scenarios. it would be a sunk cost with no reward.

Let’s just keep it simple after all. Must fit within a 2048x2048 unit square, exceptions can be made for small out of bounds areas. No other exceptions, the playable area must fit within 2048x2048.

>>11819862
People think Douk has a poor enemy roster and weapon lineup? What the fuck. Douk's enemy roster is like the best of all the Build games.
His arsenal is pretty fucking solid all around too. One of the best pistols in classic FPS, great shotgun, great chaingun, great RPG, pipe bombs admittedly pale in comparsion to Blood's dynamite, but the pipes are older. So fair enough.

nice one

>>11819862
Bullshit, I'm just too lazy to learn Mapster32

>>11819862
I do play Duke. As I leader I would ofc contribute few maps myself. If the project doesn't take of, I just release them as standalones then. I don't agree with Duke having boring weapons or environments. Monster roster is lacking sure, when compared to Doom. Duke project wouldn't need megawad amount of maps. Our Blood project had 6 and it still kicks ass.

>>11819873
Watch a tutorial. It's not harder than Doom Builder imo.

>>11819848
There won’t be any more phases, but I still have to polish some stuff.

>>11819862
>poop dickem
sounds like a good title for a /vr/ project

>>11819812
>What if we changed the rules so instead of having to fit within a 2048 grid, the total area of all your sectors cannot be over 2048 units?
How the fuck do I even calculate that? Measuring and calculating area and volume is what I was the absolute worst at in school, and I haven't gotten better.

>>11819862
I love Duke, I just hate Build mapping.

>>11819862
Duke's biggest problem is once you leave E1, all maps are ranging between "kinda good" and "horrible". Also I'm not a big fan of the enemies, some are really nice but some are absolutely not, and that ruins the overall experience.

>>11819829
Yeah, I haven't seen any but a single other one.

>>11819879
This man is a liar.

>>11819837
I think that you're right.

>>11819904
I might wrong, but for me it's easy, because I started Duke mapping as a kid long before I started Doom mapping.

Are we still discussing this new doom project, or have the rules already been settled?

>>11819885
Did you fix my softlocking imp in MAP29? I yelled about it in this thread at some point, but I don't know if you saw

>>11819898
This is why DOOM has remained relevant for so many years, while Duke, with all of its frills, will forever live in the shadows. Every time I see somebody say, "Dude, Duke is twice the game DOOM is! I don't understand how people can like this barebones game, you can't even look up or down!", I just have to scoff.

DOOM's simplicity is its greatest asset. It doesn't have any wacky weapons, but they're all attractive and satisfying to use. It doesn't have intelligent enemies, but they look cool and they're fun to kill. It doesn't have a bunch of interactive objects or scripted scenarios, but it doesn't need them, because the depth comes from leveraging basic building blocks in interesting ways, rather than, "See that toilet? You can watch an alien shitting in it".

Duke basically started the trend of gimmicks as gameplay (in regards to FPS), and you might soiface the first time you play Hollywood Holocaust, but then the game reveals just how shallow it is when the gimmicks wear off and you're left with weapons that don't feel so great to use, enemies that aren't all that fun to kill, and environments that aren't very enjoyable to wade through. Content and interactivity are meaningless if the content isn't fun to interact with over the long haul, and the second to second drip feed of dopamine is what DOOM absolutely nailed that Duke lacks outright.

>>11819935

Except for the unberserked fist and pistol.

>>11819343
Shaky Grounds is peak. Blast Radius is divisive one but still very solid megapack. WG maps are a good start but nothing too impressive, there's few episodes with different themes.
There are also tons of solo maps of top tier quality lost to time, I recommend to check MSDN and look at hot maps list, sort it by rating to get best of the best.
It's sad how much cool stuff there is in Duke community over the years but nothing gets any attention or discussion around it like Doom does. One day it will all die down and no one will talk about it. Grim.

>>11819791
glad to hear it

>>11819927
>Did you fix my softlocking imp in MAP29?
Yeah

>>11819940
Yeah, but it hardly matters because you'll almost never use them after the first 10 seconds of E1M1, meanwhile Duke frontloads its best weapons and everything you get afterwards feels increasingly anemic. The Duke pistol feels fucking great, that's one thing I'll give to the game, but the arsenal as a whole is weak sauce.

>>11819939
I'm still working on coming up with a consistent plan for the final room before recording. Do you feel your strat is consistent? I'm about to go back to testing now

>>11819956
I don't fully agree with that, I find the shotgun, ripper, and RPG are all great feeling and useful weapons.
Pipe bombs I'm personally lukewarm on but I've been spoiled by Blood's dynamite.

The feedback on the shrinker sucks but being able to completely delete tougher enemies with a well placed shot is no joke. Though I do wish the hitbox on that thing wasn't so fucky.

Hell, no. This took 40 attempts (although most of them ended near the start).
See pic related for my basic idea, you can line up a lot of the archies by hugging West wall at the start, and if you go over to the East side after you can kinda get the additional enemies stuck on the blue highlighted pit to prevent them swarming you. I still requires a lot of awareness and some luck.

Also note, that my method for the beginning of the map is also unsafe, I just got sick of waiting for the barons to wake up the cyberdemon.

>>11819982
Thx. The fact enemies can get stuck so easily on those pits makes me wonder why this wad isn't complevel 2 or 21, but I guess I shouldn't complain since it saved me in the end.

I'm not the guy who first made fun of it, so at bare minimum (Two) people thought it was gay and retarded.

Read the last thread. The decision to add mega man was widely supported and is objectively reasonable. Somebody made the edit and proposed it publicly and people agreed. Then somebody else made the image for this OP pic.

I'm just gonna say what a bunch of people are thinking: I'm sick of your bullshit, anti-mega man autist. The decision to include and implement this addition COULD NOT have been more organic. And now you're actually outright admitting to doing this out of spite.
Out of spite for fucking what? For genuine discussion which led to a sensible edit of the image? For not being a machiviallian autismo like you?

Do you realize you are acting against the interests of this community at this point? Are we gonna have to tolerate you bitching about mega man BEING in the image as opposed to the pro-mega man autist bitching about it not being there? Get a fucking clue.
People have decided, the changes have been made and WE ARE MOVING ON.

is there any interest in any other restricted format? the next logical step after map units and linedefs would be sectors, 256/512 sector limit? maybe a "thing" limit? 256/512 things in the map?

Seconding this, it would allow you to make way more interesting layouts with the same limited space. Are we able to use our own custom textures? I usually end up making some for my maps when I can't find anything that fits what I need, and I like to use my own custom skies.

Dear Janny,

As somebody who has never posted on the subject of mega man nor played nor will ever play mega man - as a stand-alone game or a doom wad - I have come to see your egregious faggotry as unacceptable.

You are now wiping and banning everybody arguing against your position for the second time - but not only that, you're trying to frame it as if it somehow proves that all these people are the same person.
That is after you tried and failed to convince people via a sham vote that you lost.
At the same time you have not wiped any of the anti-mega man posts.
I believe that is because most or all of those posts belong to you.

Do you seriously think you are actually fooling anybody here? Cause that's the part that offends me. So much, in fact, that every new thread I now create will have the updated version of the doom pic.
Every thread created with the old version I *will* call out.

Mind you, I have no plans of ever playing the mega man wad. That is just how much I hate your pathetic faggotry.

You are not this thread's don. You're not gonna arbitrarily decide what happens out of spite. You are a petty little shit abusing his janitorial powers.

That is all.
Now quick! Wipe this post before anybody can read it! (I screenshotted it)
Faggot.

>>11820524
Do it pussy, you won't.

>>11820524

>>11820527
Making threads doesn't take a lot of courage or even effort.

And I am now at least a third person who decided to make threads with the updated picture. The last guy got wiped for nothing.

What janny needs to finally fucking realize is that every time he pulls this bullshit, a couple of people who previously were indifferent now defend mega man addition (or anything else people get wiped for) to show that janny is here to serve us, not to act out his wet dictatorship fantasies.

And I 100% guarantee you: people who were talking about mega man (fucking sick of even typing this stupid name) wouldn't give a fuck about it if it wasn't for that wipe&ban that happened previously.

>>11820531
Hello Janny. No, nobody is coping but you. Every time you mass delete and mass ban, and then post le hecking epic conclusion of what "we" are gonna do - more people open their eyes.

>>11820538
Do it then. Talk is cheap.

>>11820538
I'm not a janny, I just think you're mentally ill and you need to seek treatment for whatever kind of spectrum disorder you have, rather than shitting up a good general by flinging the contents of your diaper for 8 hours straight.

>>11820540
Do what? This thread hasn't even reached bump limit and I'll probably miss it when it does since I don't spend every hour of every day here unlike *some*.
But I don't even need to be vigilant, somebody else will.
There's enough people who hate this janny's guts and/or care about fairness

>>11820546
>bans a screeching autistic loon that samefags support for his shitty wad that exactly 0 other people on earth care about
I don't know, sounds pretty based to me.

>>11820546
You're not exactly surrounded by friends either because I'm sick of seeing your shitass posts. Give it a rest and go do something else with your time.

>>11820545
This was my first post about mega man EVER, ANYWHERE.

And it's an obvious fact that if *somebody* didn't keep spitefully shitting up the thread (as he himself admitted >>11819712 ) nobody would be flinging any shit and we'd all be discussing the current project and actual real fucking wads.

And if he goes back to the previous version on the next thread due to his autistic spite I promise you there'll be another thread that's 70% shit flinging - with or without me.
Or we could just let the new decided pic be and go back to peaceful comfy Doom general.

>>11820556
> I'm sick of seeing your shitass posts
doubt it, because I never posted about this whole issue ever before

> and go do something else with your time
Oh I will. But I also am not gonna ignore obvious bullshit. And believe me the reason I'm voicing my thoughts now is because I'm more sick of mega man discussion than anybody here. I really doubt there was this much autistic protest to changes in the image or anything fucking else for that matter back when these things were being regularly updated.

These threads are a dynamic system formed by participants. We don't need somebody halting change out of pettiness.

Anyway recently finished AA and it's good, even really good but kinda overrated. Maybe because I read so many glowing reviews but I found to be slightly underwhelming.

>>11820565
Just curious, do you post on /x/ by any chance? There's a dutch guy on there who I believe has the same strain of egocentric autism that you do, it's uncanny.

Say what you want about Sandy, but there's not a single thing in D1 more satisfying than pumping rockets into this robocow in a big badass arena.

>>11820716
>>11820719
>>11820731
e4m1 is probably my favorite d1 map, mostly because it's so tiny yet memorable. baron secret is dumb though, unless you know it's coming and save your rockets there's no way you have enough ammo to kill everything, even on HMP where the health isn't gimped so bad

calling mods "gzdoom games" is extremely disingenuous, even if the doom iwads arent required.

Doom 2 and Final Doom are closer to that, and they're still not anywhere near an "expansion" since they don't need the original Doom iwad to function.

by default, it is a mod at most. and at the very least, an ex-pac

>>11820776
How are Hexen or Strife glorified expansion packs? What gameplay similarities do they have to Doom beyond shooting enemies in first person?

>>11820792
>and at the very least, an ex-pac
"Standalone expansion" has been a concept for awhile though I'm also fine just calling them sequels. Meanwhile, games like Heretic and Hexen are just entirely new games on the same engine.

So Blood is a Duke 3d mod? Deus Ex an Unreal mod? Soldier Of Fortune and Sin are Quake 2 mods? Rtcw, Call Of Duty 1 and early Medal Of Honor games Quake 3 mods?

>>11820881
Yes, except Blood and Duke 3D are actually both Rock 'n Shaolin - Legend of the Seven Paladins mods.

>>11819935
You are missing historical perspective, the perspective of someone playing the games in the 1990's. Duke was absolutely a step up: slopes, jumping, crouching, vents you can break and enter, walls you can destroy, mirrors, bathrooms, strippers, jetpacks, the shotgun is bad ass, etc. It blew us away. You don't understand how stunning the reveal of planet Earth was, in that map designed to look like the starship Enterprise.
>DOOM's simplicity is its greatest asset
While I'm not downplaying how important that is especially for modding, I think the greatest asset is its monster roster. Doom's monster roster is larger and more interesting than any other, which is why we are recording Doom demos instead of demos for other games.

>Duke basically started the trend of gimmicks as gameplay
>but then the game reveals just how shallow it is when the gimmicks wear off
I dunno what you mean.

>>11820778
doing that wouldn't be satisfying at all because you'll have lost every bit of love and appreciation for the game by the time you can clear an episode on nightmare, deathless or otherwise.

>>11820897

>>11820773
Strife is a completely new fucking game, you goon. I could see your point for Heretic, since it's so similar to Doom, or REKKR, since it actually is a TC built for Doom, but Strife really plays and is structured very differently.

My point in >>11820773 is that they’re all completely standalone games, Hexen and Strife maybe moreso than the others that were mentioned.

>>11821454
the unused rocket launcher from Supercharge
It has the sprites and the code all done I simply manually restored it with SLADE and excluded the standard rocket launcher so the unused one replaces it
the default rocket launcher in Supercharge uses the same sprites as vanilla altho I think the sprites and the code had been edited a little (idk I havent played with vanilla weapons in years) but in any case its pretty bad and basic
the unused one is miles better
it was already set to fire the same custom rockets with the same effects so I had to do very little work to restore it
I have no idea why they havent replaced it already themselves in the latest release instead they left the sprites unused and the code commented out

>>11821480
Sure looks like it too. Thank you lots, anon, i'll go tend to that in my copy as well.

What does everybody think about making a quick and dirty /vr/ project about modifying commercial IWAD Doom maps?
I could lead it. I think a 30 day deadline would be best. No slot reservation, whatever gets done in 30 days is what it is going to be released as.
Could call it "Thie/vr/y"

Doom Zero is fucking DOGSHIT
its just switch upon switch upon 'choose which one of 3 switches to press and if you press wrong you fuck yourself' same goes when it presents you all 3 cards and picking up one makes the others unpickable up forcing you to save before pressing any switch or picking up andy card unless you wanna screw yourself over instadie and have to restart the level
also retarded completely abstract undetailed levels lacking any kind of cohesion or actual theme or making any kind of sense
garbage/10 dont waste your time go play something better
the author got all edgy and shit because they included his garbage was in the SLAYA's CLUB as officially featured wad to download from the dog shit Kexport
I wanna play Doom in my free time and have fun not a fucking PUZZLE PLATFORMING GAME for fuck sake

>plays Doom Zero
>complains there's zero Doom

>>11821503
this fucking level was the last straw
it makes you exit from the map before with 1 HP
and then you have to run in these corridors without making any sound or using anything that wakes up monsters (like if you have flashlight++ set to wake up monsters you are screwed) and go to a room with all 3 keys and you have to pick up a specific one that opens a door with a switch that lowers crushers and kills all demons for you (and you remain at 1 HP but alive)
if you pickup any of the other keys you cannot activate the crushers and you are screwed over
also secrets that require the pressing of 20 switches in an other and if you press them in the wrong order or you are not fast enough to get into the door they open or the elevator they lower thats it secret is botched forever you cant get it anymore unless you noclip

>>11821498
>I wanna play Doom in my free time and have fun
Then play anything else from 10.000 wads to choose from, eventually you might either get a lucky pick or realise that this game no longer actually interests you

>>11821498
Try harder, I guess.

>>11821515
> (like if you have flashlight++ set to wake up monsters you are screwed)
Doesn't seem like it's the level's fault. Personally when playing with GzDoom, I do use Flashlight++, but I don't set it to alert monsters.
If they aren't hearing me starting my chainsaw, or through sound blocking linedefs, why would they pay attention to my light?

>>11821515
>Doom games have remained alive all this time is because of gameplay mods
The .wad sounds kinda ass, anon, but I think Doom remained alive because it's old and easy to draw in.

There are a lot of gameplay mods, sure, but then as now 99% of custom levels don't touch stock Doom logic, or they use it but slightly modified. Multiplayer aside, almost no mapper maps for a mod unless the map comes WITH the mod.
You should try Godless Night and Paradise if you haven't already.

>11821515
>Complaining about purism in a mod that uses dehacked for monsters and stuff that you overrode with decorate stuff
Yep that's a you problem.

>>11821515
You know, whenever I play something with a mod, and the mod breaks it, I don't blame the maps for being broken by the mod.

>>11821634
That's how it goes sometimes. There's a lot of fun mods, but they aren't all always gonna work flawlessly with each other.

>>11821636
A lot of the time you can fix/compatibility patch stuff yourself with minimal decorate/acs/zscript knowledge, but the derpy types like that anon tend to either bitch about it or demand somebody else fixes it for them.

It's less common now, but roughly a decade ago, the community was flooded with an influx of 13 year old newfags who would go and incessantly complain at people if their mod or map didn't work with Brutal Doom. Some were completely uncivil about this.

Thankfully, these kids either grew up or left. It was annoying at the time, but I'm ultimately glad for the influx of new blood, many who came to appreciate the core game itself for what it is.

You'd be surprised how often incompatibility is the result of a legitimate skill issue on the modder's part, and not just a byproduct of complexity.

>>11821831
>>11821846
Here's a quick and cheap edit
https://litter.catbox.moe/x2igg2415aripycs.png

>>11821897
DeHackEd changes mean fuck all, honestly. Sure they're kind of invasive at times, but I have yet to play a wad that was annoyingly broken with any of the very complex mods that I play or used to play. DeHackEd simply doesn't allow you to color outside of the lines too much by design. The vast majority of wads that were truly incompatible, like softlocks, entire features being outright broken, VM aborts, etc. were ones that had DECORATE/ZScript, and usually only because the author was a colossal retard. It's really not that difficult to make mods compatible with wads and vice versa, technically speaking. As in, make them completely playable sans some really in-depth features that simply cannot be made compatible out of the box, although you could take a different approach via decoupling and whatnot to make them fully compatible anyway. It all depends on how much effort you're willing to put to begin with, and what potential sacrifices you are willing to make, if any.
>inb4 oh you're one of those "the author must always cater to the masses" retards, kys yourself
Nah. I always make sure my own house is in order before placing the blame on others. And even then I'd just take fifteen minutes of my time tops to make a patch then proceed to enjoy the rest of my day. But I will still call you a nigger several times because fuck you, learn to code, faggot, it's not that hard.

>>11821997
You are a gentleman and a scholar, anon. Thank you. It fits perfectly.

oh that's cool, didn't figure stretching it was a good idea, but you probably wouldn't even notice the scuff on the smaller screen. well done you.

I love community megawads sometimes.
previous map had 466 monsters

>>11821717
Best Sandy map? I think The Spirit World is pretty cool.

People who don't care for high enemy counts, how are you position when the first map of a .wad has about 400 enemies, but most of those enemies are zombies which you gun down rapidly and in score with your shottygun and chaingun?

Mostly running and gunning, some of them roam freely in a half-large area, some stay put and wait for you to show. They are occasionally backed by a few stronger enemies, but mostly it's weaker 'popcorn' enemies.

>>11822096
Hard choice. All him? Tricks & Traps, and then The Spirit World.
The ones he made from Tom's drafts? Containment Area and Refueling Base.

>>11822132
I feel like 400 would be way too long for this to be enjoyable.

>>11822132
It's like junk food (not the wad), every dead enemy is a little bit of dopamine and I'm killing them by the swathes. So much fun.
Even in later maps, having a lot of fodder you can massacre quickly in one rocket is fun, makes the dopamine flow and can be interesting tactically because they serve as meat shields.

>>11822137
A whole lot of them are gonna be infighting each other, mind, (zombies hitting each other, and then Mancubus fireballs bowling over a bunch), and you'll get a fair amount of rockets for the tougher ones at the end.

>>11822138
That too! It's real fucking fun to fire off a rocket into a whole crowd of zombies!

>>11822024
Yes, technically. I've used a few photos of my hand holding my sword to use as a reference for a few melee weapons. I didn't use the full sword though.

Did a count, and out of the 400 monsters, just about 300 are zombies, mostly regular zombiemen, with some shottyguys and chainguns sprinkled in here and there, and then 40 of the monsters are Imps.

>>11822132
Since I am not a faggot who first thing looks at the enemy/item/secret count upon starting a map, I wouldn't care if it is, according to your description, over quickly.

>>11822015
tl;dr make it work with HDoom.

Excuse me, HOW MANY secrets?
This Blast Radius map pack sure is overwhelming. Also red battlelords with expanders are fucking evil.

>>11822096
Containment Area though it was also from Tom. For a map solely from Sandy, maybe Quake's Palace of Hate.
>>11822240

OK that's a lot. That's the most I've seen in a long time.

>>11822240
Is that AMC? Despite how much effort went into many of the maps, I never could get past the fact that it feels like something akin to a modern day discord cabal self insertion self aggrandizement mapset. The fact that one of the playable characters is just a furry Duke (and the real Duke is dead) is just off-putting

>>11822261
Nah, it's E1M4 from here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius with vanilla Duke.

>>11822261
https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius/images/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius-on-moddb2#imagebox
Seems to be its own thing separate from AMC.
I was turned off initially from AMC due to what you stated, but when I finally gave it a go I had a good time even with just a few levels.
I should get back into it sometime. It's hard with just how much choice I have with all these older shooters now.

>>11821846
It doesn't matter what the reasoning is. When there's a lot of moving pieces, some things come to a halt when you mash it together with something else.

>NEW PIC. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Thanks, I hate it.

I started playing the actual Sunder map13 on ITYTD for 2x health, and I still need to cheat to heal. I am experiencing levels of bullshit I never imagined before. I'm gonna take a break just to watch zeromaster play it

>>11819852
I'd make a map or two for it, made stuff for Blood during 500ml of /vr/. Build mapping is fucking great, just takes a while. Never tried out dukes lotag hitag scripting system but I've got the Duke3D level design handbook. You've also expressed interest in Ion Fury before, I think it would be cool to map for. Dunno if there are any custom episodes yet either.

I feel that a build project with a smaller scope and expected turnout could run concurently to a doom mapset.

>>11822509
I wouldn't. But if combining two mods breaks something then I'd put some kinda text on screen telling the player that shit's broken.
A lot of people fail to understand Term did the golden boner thing in Demonsteele as an absolute surefire way to spot people loading Brutal Doom with Demonsteele. Because rather than a long list of asking questions and wasting time troubleshooting, if he got a report from someone about how a pack of unkillable golden skeletons started beating the shit out of the player, then he immediately knew what was the problem.

Vertex Relocation gained new music? neat
I see my updated MAP08 didn't make it to RC2. might work a little bit more on hinting to players that they can backtrack

>Duke3D level design handbook
I used to have this thing as a kid but it is long-gone. I used it to make a level when I was like 10. Someone finally scanned the fuckin' thing so we can all download it and read it:
https://www.retromags.com/files/file/7069-official-duke-nukem-3d-level-design-handbook-the/
I'm gonna read some of the book and tinker with mapster32. The hardest part is coming up with good level ideas, not learning how to use the editor.

I think there's an enemy mod that does something like that on ModDB.

>>11822486
Zero Master also cheeses this map. I should have known, no one records demos on these maps without cheesing them

>>11822734
There's nothing wrong in cheesing encounters involving archviles

Another block down

>>11822490
Cool. If we get few more mappers to join us, we might get this thing rolling. I'm thinking something like a half a year time frame for map making. I can howerer stretch it, if people need more time. No extra textures or code, just maps (midis are fine though, but not necessary). I'm busy this week, but I can get this thing started next week. Duke Nukem Fore/vr/, it is. Unless someone has a better name idea. Since there is Duke Forever mod, the restoration project and the whole 2011 game, it might get fucked by search engines.

I haven't expressed interest for Ion Fury mapping though. That must have been an another anon. Maybe some day.

>could run concurently to a doom mapset
Agreed. And maybe that's the best for a game that has less mappers going for it. I think I could contribute few maps for our new doom wad too. It's shaping out to be a quite nice idea, even thought there was confusion and conflicting ideas at the start.

>>11822490
>>11822550
How are the 50 maps that come with the guide book? Basic shovelware ripped from the internet back in the day or actual original stuff? Gonna try them out some day since the iso is on moddb too. The maps kinda make this a forgotten official expansion pack. Some people go harsh on Duke expansions, but I actually liked Nuclear Winter, Duke!Zone 2 and Duke!Extreme too. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I still do enjoy them. This is unpopular opinion, but I think that those 3 are better than many awarded 90s classic Doom wads. They've aged better. Duke!Extreme also had damn fun new weapons.

Now I figured the name out:
Duke It Out in /vr/

How's that?

I wasn't making a judgement call against any player, saying they are good or bad. I was looking for how to beat this map, and I was expressing disappointment that no one records demos of these maps without zero-presses or line-def skips or other cheese, but I spoke too soon. Killer5/MrZzul recorded a demo for this map with no cheese, just solid Dooming and consistent strats for all the fights.

Noice. If your not weather report anon I'm sure he would be down with the project. End of 2025 is a reasonable deadline too. It would be cool to have a custom TILES0XX.art file though, I like using flat white and flat black tiles for shading and lighting. It would also be good for incidental textures as requested and not overwrite anyting.

>>11822943

Friendly reminder that a ten-year-old can read that level editor handbook and make levels. The hard part isn't the editor, it's the creativity you need to make good levels. Also a lot of time on your hands. And hopefully your brain isn't dopamine-fried from brain-rotting entertainment so you can focus longer than a few minutes on something.

>>11823307
You're welcome to try, but base Wolfenstein 3D isn't exactly a very deep well, you couldn't make a whole lot of stuff which hasn't already been done (most in the base game, even).
You would ideally be looking at one of the upgraded versions as a basis, just to add some more flavor and variety to work with.

>>11822608
I managed to convert one of the ashes maps into build, just to get the geometry for a test. I used some custom converter though and had to change complevel or whatever of that map to basic doom so it could be converted.

I'd love to join but I'm busy making my own episode, though if anyone needs some help I'd be there if I see it, don't lurk here often. I highly encourage any anons to try build mapping, mapster is not that bad as you might think. Once you passed the learning curve of how easy it is to fuck up drawing sectors and figure out the controls you are set. Dunno if doom mapping experience can help, I never tried anything other than mapster in my life.
Read the infosuite, it's the best way. I still have tabs of if open every time I map.

>>11822364
It's already been done by some sketchy dude on moddb, and been posted here a bunch of times.

Today, after all these fucking years, I just learned the following about DOOM:
>The armor will absorb one third (1/3) of all damage received, rounded down, until it is fully depleted. The blue megaarmor, by contrast, absorbs half (1/2) of damage received.

>>11823636
It'll always take health before armor so if you take 5 damage with blue armor it's -3 hp -2 armor

Square's such a good game.

wouldn't have to be in doom, but what if you did a map set where the rule is you HAVE to place a certain number of monsters, like 100? something low enough where every map doesn't devolve into slaughter slop, but something high enough that it would lead to a lot of interesting configurations since you'd have to think ahead some

>>11823668
Was it ever finished?

>>11819767

>>11823170
Duke it out in /vr/ it is then. I'm not weather report anon though.

I'm gonna be honest with you that I've never done anything with custom textures/sprites on build. I've made some single maps and 2 short episodes with custom midis (I'm talking about more than 20 years ago, these are lost media by now), but recently I got interested of Duke again, because I finally looked into mods released after 2010, and found so much good stuff, that I want to participate for real, and with enthusiasm. I watched few mapping tutorials to get back to it, tried it out, and still got it. I hope you are still in. I promise that I will not abandon this project, and I will do this with great care. Of course it's still open for all even if anyone wants to post their first Duke map on it, I will howerer test them and bugfix them, if needed. I don't want to be elitist, since I'm kinda pseudo-noob with Duke mapping atm. But not too noob.

But since I'm atm lacking with custom texture/sprite stuff, do you want to compile the art files for the project? You can include everything you need. I'm fine with vanilla textures myself. I will howerer look into art compiling, because I want to make a custom title screen and episode ending screen for this. I want this to be polished work of art :D. But first I'm gonna start with 2 maps, that I have plenty of ideas for, and will be posting screens on my progress.

But since we are adding some custom stuff, what do think about including overlord sentries and cycloid sentries? I liked fighting those in World Tour, and I imagine they wouldn't be hard to implement since all they need is a proper hp values on def files, I think? I'll look into it.

>>11820205
>go-to music if tired of original music
It depends on the game, or game's setting.
For example, the castles and graveyards of Quake and Blood go excellent with dungeon synth:
https://youtu.be/rakIJ3596ug
https://youtu.be/pseHq2-_OBE
https://youtu.be/nFIz_eh0n1Y
https://youtu.be/XZCfKAgmKyo

There is also space synth for space-themed stuff, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I was playing when I put it on.

If I am recording a Doom demo, then I like the intensity of Filmmaker's music. I dunno what genre this is
https://youtu.be/r7X6o9f2_Q0
https://youtu.be/H5WShWhQKdE

I find Quake 2's retro-futurism goes really well with rock/metal, especially from that era

>>11823738
Whats the theme of the project and how big do you want the maps to be? Classic city maps? Honestly I'd love to make some space stuff if I had the time for it, you still can make some kind of human colony there anyway. I don't care much about custom art because it's usually doesn't fit with base duke but I agree that sentries would be great to add. Also, pistol start or keep stuff from previous maps? You can force pistol starts by making it like death row map, by spawning duke on a specific texture

already working on an updated version with a backtracking path from the imp crusher. some careless janny broke the teleporter that used to lead to the central teleporter exit. luckily the green button opens the door back to the soon-to-be catwalk. I also have in mind a button + door on the previous backtracking route so that the player cannot rocket jump there (no button on the outside)

is anyone else having issues with Slade on Debian testing? suddenly +/- doesn't work to raise/lower floors/ceilings, and textures can only be moved with shift+numkeys, not the numkeys alone. so only 1 texel adjustments, not 8 texels

>>11824306
I was first thinking of city maps, but since this is /vr/'s first Duke project, I think it's enough for a theme that it's a map for Duke 3d. Short, medium or long are both fine. Think of Violent Rumble. It had short maps, but also magnum opuses, but there was no central theme. So go wild with it. Space maps, city maps, nature maps, techbases, factories, abstract maps, everything is fine. Custom art isn't necessary, but if someone wants to have custom textures on their map, I'm fine with it. Pistol starts sounds good too, let's go with that. So looks like we have 3 mappers now, if you are submitting a map. If 6 months isn't enough, I can add a few months to the time frame. In the end, it's better to get more mappers than rush this out with only 2 mappers.

>>11823738
I'm the guy from >>11823170

Yeah, I'll take care of the art files and texture organization. It's pretty easy, you can just use BAFED from the guy who made build gdx. Nothing too crazy or far removed from the duke aesthetic, but things like terrains, liquids and some other stuff. Mappers could also add their own assets to the tiles file if they want something particular, just share the updated file once the initial tiles are added and be sure to palette convert it for duke.

Never messed around with custom enemy types in build, but it would be cool to have some extra dudes. We're sticking with Duke3D atomic for assets right? Are we using any tiles from Duke DC / Carribean / World Tour except enemies?

Looking forward to it man, I'm commited as well.

No, this is my test map for Malice Refined - an overhaul of the 1997 Malice total conversion for Quake.
I just got its turret enemy to be able to stick to func_trains for mapping purposes.

>>11824807
Now I have to make some in duke, thanks for idea anon

>>11824581
It might be a complevel 21 demo. I forgot to specify one when recording.

>>11820019

I just played sum Duke 3D after many years and damn has the gaming industry decayed. Sure, graphics and overall technical quality has increased. But level design, mob design... Everything that requires creativity has declined severely. What the fuck is happening.

>>11824813
>Malice Refined
This looks amazing. I love it! Where I can follow it's development?

the closest things i can think of are lambda fortress, SMOD tactical & CSS sci-fi but is there ANYTHING out there like what i'm asking for?

>>11824814
Is that even possible? I don't know much about Build Engine stuff.
>>11824824
You can find it here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/malice-refined
The screenshots on there are probably a bit misleading if you're not already familiar with Malice - as most of them are from two new maps I've made. The vanilla campaign levels are untouched aside from bug fixes, and are very much a product of the late 90s aesthetically.

>>11824836
>Is that even possible? I don't know much about Build Engine stuff.
Dude Duke has a fuckin metro map with few stations and subway train running between them. I can just make a small sector, slap a turret on it and boom we got moving turret.

>>11824936
Ah, so basically just something standing on moving ground. I was thinking more complicated than that.
I guess if it works it works.

>>11824941
It's very simple but you can go very creative with it. There are automatic shooters that can be arranged to shoot specific type of projectile. You can make sector bosses out of it. Even in vanilla duke without modifying anything the possibilities are near limitless. Shadow Warrior upgraded it to the point that can make vehicles out of it, like tanks or cars, there's forklift too

>>11824815
You were right, worked instant under DSDA. Wish they implemented MBF21 into prboom already.
By the way, here's the secret you missed.

>>11825043
Is prboom still being maintained? I thought it was abandoned in favor of DSDA. I just use Nugget, personally.
>By the way, here's the secret you missed.
You trigger it from the other end?

>>11825051
I didn't want it accessible from spawn, otherwise it's just a door. I should have offset the texture more, it's a bit unnoticeable in that corner.

>>11824325
OK overall. Secrets are pretty obscure and in can just leave every fight.

>>11825058
I must have just missed it on the automap. That's what I used to find the other two.
It was weird how the megarmor and soul sphere weren't marked.

>>11825105
did the midi work? If so, what sound emulation do you use?
>>11825123
I forgor.

>>11825125
I use fluidsynth by default and it works. Every other option didn't. On crispy all work.

I wish Nugget would add additional gib animations for monsters so that I can record vanilla demos with them on. I don't see why adding or removing extra gib animations is tied to whether or not a demo fucking syncs or doesn't.

>>11825043
>Wish they implemented MBF21 into prboom already.
Isn't it super fucking gay that none of the MBF21 ports have the original GLBoom rendering? It makes wads designed for it, like Eviternity, look like trash.

>>11825098
DSDA added a few things, like ability to rewind in-game, but they gutted the options menu

>>11825162
>I wish Nugget would add additional gib animations for monsters
wat
>I don't see why adding or removing extra gib animations is tied to whether or not a demo fucking syncs or doesn't.
You are raging about things you don't understand. It's like raging that thing X cannot do something it was not designed to do

>>11825162
i think gib animations spawn additional things

>>11825169
Use an old version?

>>11825162
Nugget's gibs are disabled when recording demos.

>>11825191
I don't know how to compile the source code
This is the final DSDA version to have the pretty renderer
https://github.com/kraflab/dsda-doom/releases/tag/v0.25.6

>>11825197
Those devs are real assholes for not providing precompiled binaries in the github releases.

>>11825162
I used to play with mods for smooth animations and stuff like that, but some wads you can't play those mods with, and eventually you get used to the original sprites. The only mod I always use is Per Kristian's Hi-Res SFX mod. You might want to edit it in slade to remove the player death sound, though, that's the only sound that is wrong
FWIW there is a piece of dehacked wizardry called "Vanilla Doom Smooth Weapons." It adds smooth weapon animations to vanilla doom and it's totally demo-recorder friendly; you can use it interchangeably and nothing desyncs.

If you want to understand why whichever mods you're using break demo compatibility and why the above mod does not, you can open the mod in an editor and look around
https://youtu.be/PTn-oK8m2KU

>>11825214
They only do that for the new releases. I dunno why they want to discourage use of the old ones.

>>11825230
>I dunno why they want to discourage use of the old ones.
Understandably, it can be annoying when someone is on an old version and reports an issue you already fixed on a current one.

>>11825191
>>11825197
Wait did you mean just use an older, non-MBF21 port? I still use the newest version of PrBoom+ with umapinfo for the GLBoom renderer to play non-MBF21 wads that need it

>>11825195
why, it looks awesome and it's just cosmetic, let me demo with them on

>>11825241
>why
It spawns a bunch of extra blood sprites that require the psuedo-RNG table

>>11825241
>>11825243
https://youtu.be/pq3x1Jy8pYM

>>11825184
>>11825175
I meant this sort of thing. It's just a graphic change. I figured since you can't throw them into the load-order that the source port itself would have to change to allow it.

>>11825239
No, an older version of DSDA from before Kraf decided to gut out a quarter of its features. MBF21 is MBF21.

>>11825258
Each monster death now makes an additional RNG call to determine which corpse to display, which is guaranteed to cause desyncs

>>11825258
It's not just a graphic change, because the blood has randomized starting points and would advance the RNG table for each one spawned. Since demos are just playing back your inputs while game logic is still active, allowing it would break demo compatibility with any other port.

Skulltiverse II, MBF21 community project with custom monsters is live now

That's what I've been posting webms of last few weeks.

>>11825270
they could just use a separate RNG table for port-exclusive features like that one

>>11825323
That's a good idea, you should fork it and show them how it's done.

>>11825339

>>11825339
>>11825341
are you guys retarded? You don't need a true rng for cosmetic stuff like that. Just hardcode 100 "random" numbers and cycle through them.

>>11825243
>>11825245
What if you added an entire separate RNG table which functions separately from the others, and which is only called for cosmetic effects like that?

>>11825353
>are you guys retarded? You don't need a true rng for cosmetic stuff like that. Just hardcode 100 "random" numbers and cycle through them.
You mean like P_Random and M_Random?

>>11825339
making an entire fork for that seems a bit superfluous

>>11825339
>>11825341
You wouldn't need to fork, just make a commit and/or suggest it to the dev.

>>11825367
Yes, but the problem is that you couldn't use the existing pRNG tables because that would interfere with demo playback.
The idea is to add a third pRNG table for purely cosmetic effects which wouldn't affect the gameplay or demos.

>>11825239
I have no experience with it but maybe try nyan? It's dsda with more features according to the wiki

>bump limit
oh well, progress

>All the lines are double-sided with nothing to break the line of sight
Oh, the engine isn't going to like it.

Makes me surprisingly anxious. I think I can blame Shadows of the Empire for this phobia.

>>11825473
I want to run it on linux. I compiled the client and downloaded the assets, however it misses neptune.kart Where do I get it from?

>>11824325
Visual details are tiny bit overdone in places, else I would've mistaken this for a much older-made map. Didn't really like the very last ambush (if you can describe it so) with baddies coming out of the slimefall. Deaf players or chronic speedrunners might probably consider it danger-proof and run past it, same with hellknights inside the closet. Appreciate the plasma gun peek window, could be even cooler to let guys notice it before they venture into the respective blue key room. Decent map.

ok found it in the archive but now it complains

I_Error(): File is corrupt or has been modified: /home/user/.srb2kart/srb2.srb (found md5: c1b9577687f8a795104aef4600720ea7, wanted: )

I just found out that they updated Grezzo 2 and also translated it into English, which is great because I don't speak Italian but now it doesn't have the subtitles.
Is there any way to fix it?

>>11825474
the only question is why it isn't the default

>>11825551
You could try dumping the contents of the all-in-one repack into .srb2kart in your home folder.

>>11825562
that's what I did

I got it working by adding add_compile_definitions(-DNOMD5) to CMakeLists.txt
will try joining now

>>11825564

Yeah, the lack of an expected MD5 made me think something went wrong in compiling, I personally use make instead of CMake.

It's UDMF and on GZDoom, but I have no idea how much of a difference that makes.

>Secrets are pretty obscure
I guess the clue for this one >>11825043 are the monsters going through the passage door. Nothing more unless you cheat with the automap. Plasma secret has overseeing window, backpack one is obvious, path to the mancubus room (author forgot to put secret special) is marked with a candle.

>>11824703
Thanks, man. I will be sticking with Atomic Edition assets on my maps. I won't be needing DC/Caribbean/World Tour tiles myself, but if you want to use them in your maps, you are free to add them.

I haven't edited def files yet myself, but I'll look into Aquatic edition and Duke Tournament (eduke compatible versions) defs for reference. They had Overlord and Cycloid Sentries. I will howerer use the health values of World Tour. I have done decorate, dehacked and actual programming with java, c, c++, and c#, so I'm pretty sure I have no problem with def editing. After all the 2 sentries have their behaviour coded on the engine, they just have 1hp on default. It also would be cool to use big bosses inside the maps without them ending the episode like in the 5th episode, but I'm not sure is that even possible on default eduke or only in stopgap version. I want this to be fully atomic edition + normal eduke compatible after all. World Tour and stopgap will not be required to run this.

What comes for pistol starts, I'm open with anything. Technically we could do this like in most doom wads, so that maps are completable with pistol start, but not forced.

>>11825576
Can't connect to server. Maybe the md5 thing is the problem. I'll try the makefile

>>11825604
If you're following the instructions here:
https://www.wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Source_code_compiling/Makefiles
Make sure you run the "make clean && make" command from the src folder, they don't tell you that.

Though this was a Max Payne comic from the thumbnail.

https://kart.moe/building-srb2-kart-for-linux/ idk if this is gonna be of any use but i used this guide to compile the server, just gotta replace the repos with the relevant one

My Amuscaria-themed reskin for OHM is almost done, just gotta add some Nugget-specific sounds and that's a wrap.

Thanks to a friend, the goofy Hell-Forged girl mugshot actually looks damn good now. Reminds me of Lara Croft before the reboots.

Crazy how changing out the gun sprites and making them more responsive suddenly made me really fucking keen on playing both BTSX E1 and E2.
