sunlust map30 uv-max with fast monsters

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?

It is way, way easier than the previous thread's map, and you can also use saves, and you have however-many days to do it. It's very short; the record UV-Max is below 3 minutes. The map is actually easy once you know the fights. It's like a few mini combat puzzles; once you know the solution to the puzzle, it's easy.

>>11825812
I wasn't cut out for that one either. Also, how are saves demo compatible?

>>11825824
I just hope other people who haven't played the map like it as much as I did

>>11825596
Do you think the sentries would work on other source ports like Build gdx, Rednukem and Raze? I would imagine con scripting and def editing is supported but I've never messed with it.

Been working on some texture pilfering / organization and making some custom assets too. Dunno when I'll be done, should be somewhat soon. Made an optional replacement for tile0, it's the Ion Fury grid tile. Helps with prototyping layouts in mapster, just put it in the same directory.

https://files.catbox.moe/enaffw.zip

>>11825815
>free boner

i've been too busy playing doom for the past 4 days to post in this thread

I just played E1M1 of Quake 64.

And not that remastered shit, the actual OG.

>>11825805
>already has a demo for it
Does this mean I chose the map well or poorly?

>>11825852
>will it work in Raze
Probably not and thats a good thing. Raze is a bad and you should feel bad for using it

I really do think there should be a theme for Duke project to keep it consistent. Also would be neat to have nice connections between maps, build is known for that stuff.

>>11825879
Ok, you want a round of applause or something?

>>11825816
Why are women like this weirdly cute?

>>11825774
300 minutes of /vr/ map29 without looking at the automap

>>11825852
Rednukem is based on eduke, so they might work on it. Raze and buildgdx seem to have quite limited modding support and I'm not sure can buildgdx even play all the official expansions. I'm aiming for eduke compability, because 99% of players and modders use it for mods. I'm not sure do Raze or buildgdx exclusive mods even exist.

Thanks for tiles. I'll download them on saturday evening when I get back to home. First thing I'm gonna do is to start some very early prototype build of this episode, not actual maps yet, but grp file that includes
>those new art files
>def/con files with overlord and cycloid sentries with corrected amount of hp
>title screen
>episode selection for duke it out on /vr/
>testmap for sentries
I'll upload it to catbox, do proper announcement of the project, and then start making my first map for this, and will be posting progress updates.

>>11825915
Project leader here. I'd rather not have a strict theme, since this is /vr/'s first Duke project and I don't want the theme to discourage anyone from joining. If this project goes well, and we'll get nice amount of maps, the next Duke project will definitely have a theme. I can howerer organize the maps so that there won't be a single sudden space map between city maps, but the map difficulty will also affect their order. We'll see how it goes.

I noticed something while recording Duke3D and Blood demos.

If you record a demo on NotBlood, the demo knows whether or not you were using auto-aim. However, the demo does not save whether or not you have slope-tilting enabled. I'm not sure if this can cause desyncs yet. Not sure how this interacts with DOSBlood yet. We confirmed that NotBlood demos playback in DOSBlood, but no one ever specifically tested this.

Slope-tilting is not an option in eduke32; if you turn off mouselook it is automatically on. But, if you are recording a demo in eduke32, the demo does not save whether or not you used autoaim. So if you record a demo that uses autoaim but disable it in options, your demo will desync, and vice versa. eduke32 uses its own demo format and won't run on duke3d.exe, but duke3d.exe doesn't have a level warp in options so you can't record anything besides L1 demos

Is a Duke3D demo challenge something you guys are interested in? Last one only got one reply.
I see a lot of talk about a Duke3D project but are you even any good?

>>11825961
Good shit man, looking forward to it. That TILES000 replacement is just for mapping purposes, replaces the first texture only. I'll try to get the TILES020 file done by Sunday or early next week. I'm gonna start sketching some layouts and thinking up locations in the meantime.

>>11825982
>slope-tilting
I still have no idea what the fuck it is. Camera tilt when standing on a slope?

>>11825987
yes, default behavior in the games but so is having mouselook off

>>11826000
Groovy. Custom music is allowed, and now that I think of it, actually even encouraged. Deadline is atm january, but I can consider making it longer (maybe even to next summer), so those who join later have time to finish their maps. After all, there is no hurry, and it's better to get more participants than rush this out.

>I should go back and finish sunlust I feel like I'm decent enough at the game now
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! (You)s like this make all the effort of recording and writing worth while.

That's extremely annoying. I guess I'm going to be putting those invisible walls running on top of ALL the brickwalls in the maze so that the layout doesn't get spoiled right away. Like, I have the solution, but I'm annoyed that I must do this.

>>11826096
Tag the linedefs to not appear on the automap

>>11826109
No, that means you NEVER see them on the automap, that means the player can't gradually draw out the maze as they explore it, to help get their bearings.

>>11826115
Leave health-potions so you can visibly distinguish where you have or haven't been. Also make the maze more mild to compensate for the blindness

Duke project leader here. I'm a flow and getting ideas for alternate ammo types / firing modes and technically all these should be possible to do on eduke. It will take some to get used to this "heavier" con editing, but if I get these working, I think they would be cool as fuck. Would include these on test map.

2. Explosive ammo for pistol, which makes pistol a viable end game rapid fire hitscan weapon
3. Explosive ammo for shotgun, like in Duke 64, but instead of one huge explosion each bullet puff would be replaced with small devastator explosion, should be able to one-shot pig cops, enforcers and octabrains
4. Laser ammo for ripper, which would make it a kind of plasma rifle/hyper blaster of Duke, would shoot those trooper laser projectiles in rapid fire
5. Nuke for rpg for some heavy clearing, just like in Shadow warrior, you could only carry one at time (might be harder to code since no Duke mod has anything like this, unless I could use Shadow Warrior cons as a reference, I gotta see how much different it is)
6. Alt mode for pipebombs which makes them detonate instantly on hit
8. Auto shotgun mode for devastor inspired by Duke Plus
10. Alt fire for freezer which shoots bouncing shards like Q2's ion ripper which do heavy damage instead of freezing, inspired also by DukePlus but i'd rather use sprites for shards instead of 3d model

Is this too much? Or do you guys want to keep weapons as vanilla as possible?

>>11826123
I'm not gonna make the maze completely the same all over, some paths will look a bit different and there'll be landmarks.

>>11826125
>I'm on a flow

>>11826123
Instead of health-potions use megaspheres, and make it a damaging floor.

>>11826125
Not to hurt your feelings but I don't like any of those weapon ideas. Best to spend time mapping, or doing mapping-adjacent things like playing other peoples' levels or looking for midis, instead of coding new weapons

>>11825982
>We confirmed that NotBlood demos playback in DOSBlood, but no one ever specifically tested this.
Slope tilting has no effect over the game loop - it's applying during rendering while your crosshair still remains looking straight.
>If you record a demo on NotBlood, the demo knows whether or not you were using auto-aim.
Demo recording has to hardcode autoaim on or else it will cause desyncs with other ports that support demo playback (demos are always assumed to have autoaim on).
Recording with -noaim for the original DOS 1.21 release will let you record a demo without autoaim, but it'll desync everywhere else (DOSBlood fixes this).

>>11826125
I think you're probably overthinking this thing if you want just a starter mapping project.

>>11826153
I don't take that as an offense. It's good that someone keeps my feet on the ground. All's good. You are right that I should focus on basic things instead of making this a clusterfuck of too much content. Saving those ideas for a future solo project. Keeping this project vanilla-ish, with only gameplay addition being those 2 sentries.

>>11826161
Yea, I kinda went too far with that. I appreciate that you guys stop me from getting too over the top with this. Focusing on more important things on this project.

>>11826173
New monsters are appreciated. I can never have enough of those. The revenant and arch-vile and pain elemental have interesting interactions that no Duke enemy has

>>11826208
Yea, if someone has good ideas, I could include some enemy variants with different color and different attack.

>pain elemental
Pain elemental that spawns sentry drones, oh god no

>>11826208
Actually I could include Alien Queen Sentry too. It's kinda like light arch-vile and pain elemental combo as it has hitscan attack and it spawns protector drones.

>>11826158
>DOSBlood
oops I didn't realize that was a distinct thing, i was using that term to refer to blood.exe from OUWB
>Slope tilting has no effect over the game loop - it's applying during rendering while your crosshair still remains looking straight.
TY for clarifying. That is why, if my auto aim misses, I shoot parallel with the horizon instead of parallel with the slope.
>Demo recording has to hardcode autoaim on or else it will cause desyncs with other ports that support demo playback (demos are always assumed to have autoaim on).
Dang. I think freelook+auto-aim is cheating because it's the best of both worlds. I will record without freelook, then.

>>11825960
Demos don't record automap checks afaik

>>11825738 (OP)
>Wait! I just wanna talk to you!

>>11826115
>that means the player can't gradually draw out the maze as they explore it
Back in my day we used graph paper to draw the dungeon, and we damn well liked it.

>>11826359
This isn't Metroid, it's Doom, the automap is a default feature.

>>11825738 (OP)

and so the Second Megaman Schizo War began.

>>11826515
Post the second one.

>>11826096
I want to try this once you're done with it please, just the fact you want to recreate that shot of the maze and go to all this trouble is very cool.
Also isn't there a way to tags walls as one-sided in automap mode? That way they'll still show up as you go through, but it won't fill in areas beyond the walls you go up to.

>>11826526
>just the fact you want to recreate that shot of the maze and go to all this trouble is very cool
Well, it's not a 1 to 1 recreation, just a vague inspiration.

>Also isn't there a way to tags walls as one-sided in automap mode?
Would that block the automap drawing?

>>11826516
don't have a second one

>>11826125
Too much. Just leave it be as is, better put time into maps or fixing boss sentries

>>11826096
>242 - Create Fake Ceiling And Floor
Hey, are you tired of real floors?
Just cluttering up your wad, where you walk on ’em, and they actually support you? And you can walk across them? Not our floors!
These floors don't support anything
Try to walk on em. They're not walkable. I guarantee it.
None of them are walkable!
Dont belive me? Read our reviews below!

>>11826527
I think so? I'd have to try it to be sure. UDB gives you two tools in automap mode, one hides lines from the automap and one makes lines one-sided (which I think means you can't see "through" that line on the auto map)

>>11825935
Well is the remastered game's "Quake 64" more worthwhile?

>>11826553
Yea. Agreed. I got over excited. :D

>>11826561
Didn't work.

>>11826598
Better controls at least. You can play Quake 64 also on ironwail/quakespasm, which is the best way to play it imo.

Now I've been told by two people I might have issues with this map. Is there like a hard limit to know when to stop adding stuff? I know with UDMF it's like, 40,000 vertices or something but that's I think just a total and doesn't talk about performance.
>>11826608
Dang. I'm sorry, at least it was worth trying though.

>>11826641
You desperately need some closed off spaces if you want acceptable performance. I think that's a bigger issue than the sheer size and likely detail of the map, no sourceport likes huge, wide open maps with no single-sided linedefs around.

AFAIK there's no real limit with UDMF, thought MBF21, Boom and limit removing maps do have a 60,000 sidedef limit if memory serves me right.

>>11826663
Ugh.
I might just scrap it then. I can't really think of a way to fix it that doesn't go against what I wanted to do in the first place (and doesn't rub up against Hideous Destructor's increased mobility - I wanted to make it something the player could mantle and crawl through).
Introducing big walls into it might work I guess though I also wanted the player to be able to see the end of the map from the start of it, and again that seems to work against it.
Now to figure out if there's some other idea I want to do instead. Thank you anon (genuinely, I know it sucks but I appreciate the feedback)

>>11826663
God damn that makes me sad that build has such small map limits. It works much better with huge open spaces

>>11826641
I wouldn't count on more than 32767 of anything to work. linedefs, vertices, sectors, things. see here for example:
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Linedef
v1 and v2 are both int16_t, not uint16_t. some forks might life this limit to 65535 by going unsigned. but again I wouldn't count on it

Is there a Quake source port for the OG Xbox?

>>11826687
Did you mean to type that into google?

>>11826706
Yes, my bad. I went through the trouble of bringing up a post box, writing up that message, clicking "Post", and then refreshing the page before realizing that I was on the wrong site the entire time.

>>11826730

now the cacodemon girl on the other hand

>>11826686
>I wouldn't count on more than 32767 of anything to work. linedefs, vertices, sectors, things.
That's definitely not true, I can think of countless levels with almost twice that many linedefs and vertices.

are you guys gonna spaz out if i post a youtube link instead of a catbox? is there a better anonymous video sharing service because catbox buffers like crazy even if reduce the quality to DOS. just want to post sigma testing of my AI improvement mod (it's not quite alpha or beta at all, lots of zscript to figure out still)

would you guys prefer a demo with the WIP mod in a zip

>>11826758
It's fine.

>>11826778
ok

here's what i got so far
>monsters are FAST and erratic
>no random damage
>monsters have some lag in where they aim to compensate
>shotguns fire more pellets with less damage (roughly same damage overall) to compensate
>monster attack speed, projectile speed, doomguy weapon attack speed, and weapon switch speed increased 1.5x
>healing/armor items buffed to compensate increased damage

there are a few more things i need to figure out before i post me getting fragged 50 times
>function to chase player forward without attacking instead of move randomly
>pain chance proportional to HP left (0% chance at full health, 100% chance at 1 hp)
>monster accuracy decreases the faster the player is moving
>imps lead the target like monsters do in quake nightmare mode
>who am i quoting?

Few other thing i need to figure out:
how to create a mod menu with difficulty slider:

Every monster is going to have a slightly different AI, for example, zombiemen have the flag that keeps their dinstance, i want shotgun guys to charge you, imps if they get in melee range lunge at you, and that's as far as i got on the monster overhaul. because demons already move absurdly fast and start glitching if i try to make them move faster, i'm going to try to figure out how to program some sort of lunge into their movement

i'm kinda tired today so i think i need to take a break from scripting and do sane and reasonable things like take a shower and cook food

i made 3 clips of what i got so far gonna post em

i call the mod the zoomguy

gotta go fast

this area is tough tend to get fucked here a lot, but once you get the chaingun e1m2 is not so bad

i've tested up to e1m3 but didn't do anything to demons aside from +ALWAYSFAST, so far and need to figure out the new demon ai next

>>11826839
Bitrate's gotta go fast too.

>>11826837
If e1m1 is fucking you up that badly, the vast majority of maps will be virtually unplayable.

>>11826837
How'd you get that shiny floor?

>>11826871
i just whipped up a quick few clips and didn't sleep good last night, if i concentrate i can clear e1m1 at 100+/200 and e1m2 at like 160/100

still trying to calibrate the difficulty

you get fucked up, but enemies drop items to even it out

slaughter maps might be unplayable but i'm trying to make vanilla doom a skull bashing experience for my own personal amusement

>>11826663
Can I ask: when you mean performance issues, what kind of hardware are we talking about? And for those kinds of issues shouldn't it be apparent within the editor? Or is this only something that is noticeable in gameplay?
(For reference: this is probably going to be GZDOOM only because it's a wad/mapset built for Hideous Destructor which requires it)

>>11826125
think about how many mappers/maps you'll get for your shitty project before going full dopamine on ideas.

>>11826941
>performance issues

They make a pill for that these days, fnarr fnarr fnarr.

>>11826941
>>11826941
Any hardware, honestly. GZDoom is an unoptmized mess and any map that has a lot of open spaces *will* slow it down to a crawl, because the renderer shits itself if you don't have some single-sided sectors in there for some reason. I have no way of telling just how large your map is from that screenshot but it does look like you'd start running into performance issues, hell, while chatting with Vostyok regarding level design for an urban map, the first thing he told me to do was to get some big buildings on the edges of the map and strewn about the place to give the engine some breathing room. This happens in just about any port that isn't Helion, which is purposefully made to handle that sort of map even on decade-old hardware.

This stuff will never be visible in the editor and there are no safeguards against it either. You'll just have to test it in-game, though I must say you're not obligated to account for other people's hardware either - make what you want to make, but don't be surprised if not a lot of people check it out because it lags to fuck in their machine.

>>11826749

I just replayed episodes 2, 3, and 4 of DOOM with the "Text 2 Doom" mod and I had a lot of fun. Something about changing the audio to something softer and sillier makes it more fun for me. Are there any other full sfx replacement mods floating around? Preferably something stupid.

>>11827034

also, i'm the fag with no computer, though there are two things on the horizon:

1) android is adding a linux terminal, it's on pixels and i'm waiting for my galaxy
2) when they patch it to support my new phone, there's an x86 emulator called winlator that can apparently play retro steam games no problem, might look into it to also do mapping or something

>>11827048

I've been trying it out as I build it and it's okay so far, though admittedly my hardware might be above the normal spec.
>make what you want to make, but don't be surprised if not a lot of people check it out because it lags to fuck in their machine.
Fair. I realised I had in my head the idea of making things for others though instead of making it for myself. (Plus given how little feedback I got for my last map I kind of have to assume most people won't play it anyway, if you'll let me be salty).
>>11827027
I don't know what those are

decino.wad, maybe?
Also a quick google search gave me this dw thread https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/136706-i-there-any-other-decinowad-wads/. Might be something useful to you in there.

>>11826125
I'm the dude working on tiles and mapping, gotta agree with everyone else on that matter. Let's get the custom enemies in and focus on the level design process. It would also be preferable to maintain compatibility with as many source ports as possible as well. 500ml of /vr/ breaks in fresh supply (ram ranch barn stacks and tee off scripting) so I'm going to try my best to prevent that this time.

>>11826946
We have 4 assumed mappers by now (myself included), and I will be making at least 2 maps (maybe even more). So there's gonna be at least 5 maps, if nobody else joins. 500ml had 6 maps, so it's fine for build project, but since we have a 6 month deadline (that can be extended), I realistically expect more to join. You are welcome too.

Anyway I abandoned the alt ammo/alt firing mode idea as 3 anons didn't want that. This is /vr/ project after all, so I don't want to fill it with stuff, that's not okay for rest of you. I made the mistake thinking that it would attract more mappers, but it might just do the opposite, so no new weapon stuff for this project. This is project for us all, not just for me.

I'll be making the proper announcement for this project next week with the release of pack with art tiles provided by another anon and cons for miniboss/sentry fixes that I'll be doing myself. And yea, it's ok for maps in this to be shitty, because this is a open project for all /vr/ guys. I'm not gonna go elitist. But anyway this is going to be awesome, even if it will be shitty. :D

>>11827161
Yea, thanks for the feedback. I will focus on the enemies, maps, testing, and other little things for making this project reality. I won't add stuff that's not okay for the rest of you as this is project for us all.

gonna take a break from modding to play SIGIL and SIGIL II. never played before, but i hear it's good, should i play blind on HMP, UV, or UV FAST?

>>11827368
UV or you miss most of them cyberdemons.

I've only messed with doom builder a few times and I wasn't very good at it, but I'd like to try again and get this idea out of my head:

As a brainlet beginner, how complicated would it be to design a single map wad defending a pillbox from a wave of enemies? I also can't decide if it would be better to halt an advancing column from one direction or have to defend 360 degrees. I'm just an autist who likes to shoot things from cover. Thanks.

>>11827390
It would be pretty easy in an map format.
In UDMF you can just make a script that spawns enemies until you stop it (e.g. with a button). Obviously warrants a basic understanding of how scripting languages work.
In other formats you can just make a conveyor belt that pulls enemies towards a teleport and makes them teleport in front of your pillbox. I could probably do that in like five minutes.

>>11827405
>In other formats you can just make a conveyor belt that pulls enemies towards a teleport

Wonderful. Oh fuck, now I have to try.

>>11827390
I'm just memeing, I wouldn't actually stoop to that level.

>>11827428
A fiendish notion. I'll probably play with that later though. I forgot all about it since its earlier iterations. It's probably a lot more interesting now.

>>11827390
I don't know how you could accomplish being surrounded 360 degrees in a pillbox. The enemies would be on you before you could clear them unless using lots of BFG. Coming from one direction, however, is doable. Even Duke Nukem pulled this off, on the level "Going Postal." It's the closest Build got to slaughter-gameplay in the 90's, I think. Maybe you can make a level where you are getting backed into a corner, and your goal is to give ground as slowly as possible because once you run out of space you can't move.

>>11827371
jesus christ i might be too smooth brained for this. the enemy layout isn't too hard for e5m1 but i've fallen in the lava 4 times...maybe i should use the walk button >_>

>>11827435
I wonder if I could place friendly marine NPCs in spots and trap them in place to serve as living turrets. Also, I remember that spot in DN3D and you've got a good idea. I think I'll work the idea out as a drawing first and then think about how I want to do it. Probably look at some schematics of real pillboxes for inspiration. There should be ammo and first aid. Thanks for the input.

Holy fuck there are so many types of pillboxes...

ok i guess in order to deal with the end of the level i can't get hit at all early in the level to deal with cacodemons at the end. i was getting bored and about to turn it up to UV fast then i finally got killed by a monster instead of my own incompetence. maybe i should just run past them. i hope the other levels aren't as cramped as this one. fuck my life, can i get a health pack please

>>11827458

i'm not interested in doing a pistol start UV-Max on the 8th level of a wad, but i'll check this wad out. that boss fight looks fun

i never played many custom wads back in the day so this should keep me busy after DINNER dinner dinner

>Sunlust is a set of 32 boom-compatible maps for Doom II, designed to be played from pistol start.

oh, am i supposed to pistol start all these levels? it's not 32 maps to be played in a row? am i a baddie if i bring my gear over from level to level?

Lately I think I am coming to admit, I enjoy Quake more than Doom. I just wish there was as much high quality fan made content for Quake as there is for Doom. I mean don't get me wrong there is plenty of it, but nowhere near the same amount.

I should get around to learning Trenchbroom I guess.

I am also having fun playing botmatches for nostalgia in UT99 and Q3. Is there a sourceport that improves the Q3 UI at all? I wish it was easier to make like, a playlist of maps and bots like you can in UT for some comfy fragging.

>>11827632
>What the actual fuck is this thing though?
Modmaker's Garfieldsona

>>11827632
I feel like the actual spritual successor to Demonsteele is Daemon Toolz, seeing as Term's the one making it.

>>11827641

Type the map into the console (MAP01, MAP02 etc) and it pistol starts you from there, as if you had died and restarted. I think they all have death exists in that wad so you can't carry stuff over though, but Icould be wrong.

But in general though, I wouldn't worry, pistolstart autism is dumb because half the time the levels just give you all the guns within like 10 seconds anyway. It's only worthwhile if the authors have some restraint like what is it, the first Scythe I think? Where he edges you with SSG denial for like 12 levels

>>11827634
>i'll check this wad out. that boss fight looks fun
>i never played many custom wads back in the day so this should keep me busy
If you've genuinely never heard of this megawad, then play it on Hurt Me Plenty. One of the authors of this megawad, Ribbiks, believes that levels should be designed with Hurt Me Plenty as the intended experience, with UV being an extra challenge for people willing to no-life the shit out of the game.

>>11827434
I can't get it to stop generating a bunch of random fake doors and buttons that don't do anything. OBLIGE is a lot better to me, because it's just cleaner, or easier to make cleaner. Might be a skill issue on my part idk.

>>11827641
>am i supposed to pistol start all these levels?
>supposed to
No. The idea that sentence is trying to convey is that the levels were all balanced for pistol-starting in mind. They did not playtest the levels with weapons carried over from previous maps. You can still play continuously, of course, and if you really are this new, then playing continuously and not with pistol-starts is a must if you play this megawad, probably even on HMP

>>11827653
yeah i know the console commands if they overlap with quake and looked up a bunch of the new ones. the latest version of gzdoom has pistol start in the settings...not sure what else to set. the readme says this mod is for experts so i think i'll leave autoaim on and monster speed off for now, try UV then if i can't handle that try the rare HMP -fast and see how that goes

>>11827643
there's a pretty good port of quake 3 called quake live a lot of people play it but i'm not sure if it's welcome in your thread

>>11827641
don't worry many maps have death exit anyway

>>11827643
Yeah, I came to that conclusion last year - Quake just feels better to play, but unfortunately no fucker makes maps for it outside of those Slipseer guys and they just make the same shit over and over.

>>11827657
>>11827663
i'm more of a quake dueler/CA player so i'm no scrub but i'm getting old so i don't play anymore. i've basically been playing JRPGs for the past few years then i got a mouse for my phone originally to play lichess then it hit my news feed that classic doom got a patch so i bought the beth release, beat doom 1 on UV then got sick of the issues with beth doom and discovered delta touch, beat ep 1 and 2 on UV Fast with Nightmare reflexes and before i did ep 3 and doom 2 got sidetracked into modland

i haven't played an fps in several years so i'm shaking the rust off but my aim's alright, been considering getting into UT99 now that it's open source. the biggest problem i have is my keyboard is not meant for gaming so you have to be careful to avoid keys jamming and has no wrist wrest...gonna replace it by year end

>>11827641
I did it keeping my weapons. I always found it weird how Doomguy just throws them away after just barely making it to the exit.
>yep, just barely made it through all those demons
>this here shotgun sure came in pretty handy
>welp, time to throw it away now
>surely the next map won't have demons trying to eat my face, I'll probably not need it anyway
>>11827653
>I think they all have death exists
There's like, 2 or 3 death exits.
On map28 you specifically have a whole optional fight that leads to a secret exit that doesn't kill. The map literally rewards doing the extra fight with allowing you to keep your weapons.
I understand the devs made it beatable and intended for a pistol start but they're anal about it and carrying over you weapons don't break the balance too much. On the levels where it would break, you have a death exit on the map prior.

>>11827676
I'm glad you liked the map enough to want to play the megawad. It's why I picked this map :D Just be warned, if this is your first megawad then you might want to try playing on easy difficulty (Hey, Not Too Rough). Even Map17: The Womb will absolutely push your shit in on HNTR since you are new. Warp to that map to see what I mean

>>11827707
i'm playing on UV and i just need to learn the monster placements

i got to the yellow key and the hell knights before i tied

i died like 20 times in the map01 berserk pack room before i realized i should just fight the mancubus and revenant with my shotgun, get a good chaingun stack, then move into that room

it's pretty cheap making me fight all this bullshit without even green armor but whatever i'm still having a good time. im realizing it's easier to just let them kill each other and then go back in later and that's just how it's designed

fuck heavy weapon dudes. also, that soul sphere is totally trolling me, there must be some trickjump or switch to get it

Where can I find this mythical Hexen DotDC version 1.1? Every version I find is the no-music V1.

>>11827707
what the fuck is going on? pretty cool aesthetics but i can't figure out how to even beat the first room with just a soul sphere and chaingun. guess i'm supposed to pussy out and let them aggro each other

i've been up since 6 am i can't handle this right now

>>11827770
The gimmick in this map is that the big teleporter in the center is monsters-only, and it teleports enemies into the crusher. That's not even the hard part. The hard part is the fight with the rocket launcher. You will need some slaughtermap experience to survive (the trick is to prioritize rocketing the imps and pinkies first to make space).
>>11827756
> that soul sphere is totally trolling me
It's the John Romero method of showing you there is a secret so that you hunt for how to get it. You can SR50 onto the ledge but it's tricky. The intended method is a secret teleporter somewhere
>i died like 20 times in the map01 berserk pack room

>>11827809
i knew the trick to juke out the melee animations actually but not on the comical scale of that video amd not the other tricks either, and it was the heavy weapon dudes that were fucking me over

did you know this trick? you should use this for the thread OP some time

my first few attempts on the map i thought i needed to get the berserk pack and get the yellow key and then go punch fatso in the face and i realized i was going the wrong way - easier to clear out the other side and get ammo

i need to get some sleep and then if i get my check tomorrow i need to do an assload of shopping and then inject 420 marryjewannas

depending on whether or not a particular import i've been eyeing is still in stock i'm either going get that or if it's out of stock get a 120hz monitor, then i gotta go to the walton mart and i have a drs appointment, won't have time to doom

TL;DR Term's making a very actiony and slick gameplay mod that has a distinct hackerman aesthetic to it, the protag has a katana as a melee weapon, he can do parries and shit, and has totally unnecessary but cool stylish moves with all of them.
Also in order to pick up keys you have to Hollywood hack them first, which means you have to go up to them and mash your keyboard to complete the hack. You can see him fucking around and playtesting it here.

There are two different versions of the game files now. Use the ones from rerelease\id1

>>11828693
>>11828553

I figured out that it only works properly if I launch Ironwail from a shortcut, and not if I directly launch the exe or via steam (by renaming ironwail to quake_x64_steam). Very strange.

Also, is Ironwail supposed to change my settings every time I launch a different mod? Because that's hella annoying too. And also I don't like the custom hud in Arcane Dimensions.

I think I am just going to play using the kek engine port, I can't believe it has come to this but I am too autistic to tolerate this minor annoyances

>>11828709
wat
Did u put ironwail in a new folder and copy/paste id1 there?
Also if your settings keep changing, did u copy/paste some other config file into the mod folder?
>kex
Does it work with AD? I thought ad was made for QS of which ironwail is a fork

>>11828730

Nope, copypasted ironwail into steam folder/quake/rerelease. If I make a shortcut to that on my desktop, it uses the remastered models. If I launch through steam or through the folder, it uses original models.

I think the settings issue is some fuckery with old data in my documents folder or appdata or wherever the fuck it stores shit but fuck if I can be bothered hunting all that bullshit down to clear it. Why can't devs just decide on one single place they are going to save their shit, it pisses me off to no end.

>>11828730
>>11828743
>>11828709

Solved it, needed to use the launch properties to specify -basedir C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake\rerelease to make sure it launches with that data file, otherwise it was defaulting to the original data file despite being in the other folder.

Hot take, Tom Hall would've been considered one of the greatest Doom mappers on par with Romero if he wasn't fired for making both Johns anally frustrated.

>>11828605
I love both Doom and Duke (and Quakes, Blood, Chasm etc.), but I took the lead on Duke project, because we haven't done Duke project yet. I like mapping for build, and Duke definitely needs more map packs. If this goes well, and we get a lot of participants, this won't be the last Duke project here that I will lead. I'm also planning a solo project, but I won't focus on it until this project is done.

>>11828798
It's unfinished and will remain so. Mbf25 is being done now and it will have all id24 stuff and more.

>>11828357
You can't really go wrong with most Doom 1 mapsets. Especially E2 and E3 replacement ones.
I feel like even Doom 2 itself was already leaning more heavily into action, so its rare to find Doom 2 mapsets that consistently aim for slower paced horror atmosphere.

>>11828743
>>11828773
What you're supposed to do, with any source port for any game, is unzip the sourceport into a folder and copy/paste the game files into the folder
So for exampe you'd have
C:\Quake\Ironwail\id1
C:\Quake\MarkV\id\1
C:\Quake\QSS\id1
C:\Doom\Sourceports\Nugget
C:\Doom\Sourceports\DSDA
C:\Doom\Sourceports\PrBoom+

>>11829038
Woops I got ahead of myself - with Doom, I just leave the iwads in C:\Doom. It's for Quake you need to copy the game files every time

Change your ways now, because tomorrow it may be far too late.

>>11829038
>>11829049

I appreciate you are trying to be helpful but A) that wasn't the problem and B) I have already solved the problem.

I have Ironwail installed in the quake/rerelease folder because by re-naming the EXE you can have Steam launch it natively, and thus have full steam integration; as opposed to adding it manually as a non-steam game. The issue was it was still looking in the base Quake directory for the data files, instead of the folder it's installed in. That's the behaviour you expect from most source ports, it doesn't matter what directory they are in so long as the original data files are in the same relative location as they would be normally- So it's weird that it was looking outside of it's own directory and finding the other files instead.

I do not know why it acted differently when launched from a shortcut rather than directly, but whatever, it's fixed and working how I want it to now.

>>11829258
Why do you care whether or not steam launches Quake for you? Heckin achieverinos?

I think you're barely above game journo tier. Get better at the game by playing the wad without mods first.

>>11829282

>>11829367
The fact that someone may say this without a hint of irony in 2025 is a grim reminder of the state of doom mapping

>doom mapping
more like dumb mapping lol

>>11829370
You're just looking at total monster count. Maybe the map is long with lots of set pieces and you never actually get to fight more than 100 or 200 enemies at once. Maybe lots of those monsters are weak zombiemen and imps, like we discussed in a previous thread and are there just to inflate your kill count and give you constant dopamine droplets. Maybe there's lots of explosives to go around. Maybe the map is setting up monsters for infighting and it has a high monster count because otherwise they'd just all kill each other and leave nothing for you.
There's so many ways you can have interesting maps with 800 monsters and not have it devolve into slaughter. Just like you can have ballbusting slaughter with 200 monsters or less. Monster count isn't a good metric if you don't into consideration what kind of monsters those are and how long is the map.

>>11829391
You may be correct.
>>11829282
What wad is this from?

>>11829378
whoever makes a map like this needs to be sodomized

>>11829391
>>11829402
777 monsters can probably fit here without turning map into a slaughter. Barely.

>>11829304

Source ports, but launched through Steam. I just like having things organised all in one place.

With Doom I have it set to launch ZDL because that's the easiest way of choosing a mod/mapset. Before Ironwail came along, I was using Quake Injector the same way. If ZDoom ever incorporates a built in modlist like Ironwail has, I would just have it launch that.

This is the point of playing games on PC and not console, so you can set things up just exactly the way your own specific type of autism likes it. But I get the feeling you are confused because you don't actually understand what I am talking about here.

>>11829282

You know difficulty settings are a thing, right? Nobody's forcing you play stuff on UV, HMP is perfectly fine to play on. Like with your Doom Zero attempt, don't try to unga bunga something that's out of your skill range and then complain it's the map author's fault.

>>11829493
It's a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling that somewhere out there, somebody is completely losing their shit from seeing a number, regardless of what your encounter design is actually like.

>>11829403

>>11829445
isn't that asking for trouble? steam will eventually sell your data to a company that sues people for playing pirated games, or will delete your game outright.

>>11829445
I was confused because I didn't understand why you would use Steam to launch your source ports, but I get it now.
Does that mean you bought Doom and Blood just so you can run them through Steam? (I understand buying the remasters or the new Duke episode)

>>11828798
You'd think it'd replace MBF21 for community projects, even in its unfinished state. "Exit and Reset Inventory" already justifies it in my eyes.

>>11829692
Because ID24 is still an incomplete mess and it was dropped onto the community out of nowhere.

>>11829702
But it has Exit and Reset Inventory

>>11829703
And?

I don't understand why they keep coming up with new formats when zdoom does literally everything you can ask for, and usually does them more easily too. why do mappers dislike that format? I understand vanilla autism but if you are going to add a bunch of non-vanilla features what's the difference

>>11829714
Because demo compat and lower system requirements.

>>11829710
I can already do death exits in fucking vanilla.

>>11829714
It's a lot easier to create Vanilla+ than to let everyone use ZDoom and blacklist a ton of features.

>>11829718
That's like saying Decorate is pointless because one can modify things with DeHackEd

>>11829714
Because ZDoom has been out of development for nearly a decade so the only options are Zandronum or GzDoom.

It's like asking which of your balls you'd prefer to be kicked in.

>>11828953
>Mbf25 is being done now
Is there anywhere I can follow it?

>>11829724
I believe MBF25 is aiming to have Declarate code, along with better implementation of ID25's good ideas.

>>11829714
I don't want to fucking use GZDoom

>>11829703
so a death exit?

>>11829703
For me, it's the custom starting equipment. You could use that for episode-specific weapons.

>>11829759
Something that can easily achieved by just spawning what you want on the player start position, and has been done frequently before.

>>11829584
retard

>>11829765
so what exactly do you not understand?

>>11829719
Yeah I guess, my argument has always been that just because it has features doesn't mean you need to use them. But I can see how it would be a pain to enforce that in a community project.

Only part that puzzles me is when people say it's harder or they don't want to learn the new stuff, when in a lot of ways it's actually easier to map for than other formats because it has functions to just DO stuff that requires specific tricks in other formats

But in general just always amused me how they are all like "nooo that changes doom too much" but then at the same time be like "here's my new format that adds titty physics and drivable vehicles!"

>>11829763
You'd always have a pistol, and you can't add more weapons.

>>11829775
Played a wad where I started with nothing, you can do that

>>11829778

You will always start with pistol (there is no pistol item to pick up) but with dehacked you can start with 0 bullets. One example is Hell Ground

>>11829813

>>11829973
Gonna second that other guy, I don't see a problem with death exits, the level ends and your shit is reset.

>>11829714
ZScript doesn't have a proper working group controlling it and creating defined versions, so any attempt at adding a parser to another source port will end up with a weird set of features taken from GZDoom as at specific date and time and there'll be no guarantee that wads work on any given port.
That and people are too butthurt about GZDoom to even try.

interesting gimmick but pretty flawed execution, considering you can literally bypass the entire alternate dimension - why? why would you make the titular unique structure optional???

on the flipside though you have something obnoxious like TNT:R's map 32 where you seemingly teleport randomly around the two dimensions. going down does the gimmick okay, but it'd be interesting to see a slower more atmospheric map like wormhole with the actual foresight to make the wormhole a well-signposted area and required gimmick, maybe even a puzzle element

I remember there was a common problem back in the 90's and early 2000's, where some mappers outright refused to give the player anything but shotguns and the chaingun most of the time, while still using tougher monsters frequently, resulting in gameplay that feels like pulling teeth.

Check out Eduke32 Add-On Compilation. It has many classics bundled and converted for eduke. Last version was released on 2016, so you might want to use older version of eduke to ensure a bug free ride. Here are some recs from the pack.

>Last Reaction and Water Bases aka Aquatic Edition
Before World Tour these were community accepted 5th and 6th episodes. These have a lot of new enemies like repurposed lame duke monsters, working minibosses and variants like expander enforcers. There are even new cinematics.

>Chimera aka Genetic Edition
The 7th episode by same developer. Even more new monsters and epic finale.

>The Gate
Absolute classic with 4 episodes, new enemies like predator influenced enemy and new disc launcher weapon.

>Critical Mass
Short map pack, but has absolute quality maps and very fun new weapons. Double desert eagles, railgun, bfg and detonator which rapidfires explosive minibombs. It has nice matrix influenced start, where you get second desert eagle right away and shoot lot of enemies in a lobby with destroyable pillars.

>American Assault
Maps themselves aren't that interesting, but you get a double barreled shotgun and more powerful chaingun and hordes of aliens to kill. Impossible to not like this.

>Duke It's Zero Hour
Rumoured to be official cancelled expansion at one point. The rumour turned out to be false, but this has the official quality. It was even included on new-ish zoom release of Duke Nukem. Lot of new enemies with original sprites, new weapons and overall great atmosphere.

>Metropolitan Mayhem and Duke Hard

>>11830434
Plutonia doesn't really force you to grind Barons with the shotgun like that.

I have a map I was making for the first 2048 units of /vr/ that never got finished that I'm going to try to finish for whatever this new project is. At the very least I can release it on it's own.

What's the deal with people playing hardcore maps and just rewind scumming every 10 seconds to get through difficult encounters? I get dropping a mid-save if it's a long and grindy fight but why even bother with challenge maps if you don't like the challenge? Truly the worst sourceport feature for casual play.

I heckin love slaughter maps

Is Simulacrum the most like Sunlust of the newer megawads? Or is there something else in that style with 32 quality maps and mixes setpiece slaughter with the usual Plutonia traps.

For some reason I have a feeling you're here. Pic related, a skybox generated out of a spot in the first map from Arcanum, was generated at 4096 setting. Is it supposed to be this pixely? If that's the name of the game that's fine, just wondering if I'm fucking something up.

>>11830475
No but it help popularize the idea of hardcore doom mapping where the goal was to try and force players to end every encounter with single digit health

Another anon is leading 2048 with 3 texture themes, but he hasn't been here couple of days. I'm leading Duke project at the same time. You are welcome to join it.

Try replacing your progs.dat with this one and tell me if it works:

All my testing right before release was with making a skybox via the map entity, so I overlooked something that fried manual mode resolution.

>t there are much more meaningful challenges in life
True! Here's the thing though: overcoming /microchallenges/ strengthens the psyche to handle more difficult challenges. People who encounter nothing but easymode their entire young lives, have everything delivered to them by a coddling mommy, are picked up every time they fall down instead of having to pick themselves up, do far more poorly later in life. The world is unironically a better place when we haven't solved every minor annoyance in it, because then all we have are the big unsolvable annoyances and no preparation for how to deal with them.

look, I'm a retard. How do I start reskinning and adding cutscenes to doom games? give me the absolute shitbrained version, please.

>>11830845
If you want to do cutscenes, you would want to use ACS or ZScript with GzDoom.

>>11830725
or this

>>11830850
>ACS or ZScript with GzDoom
I'll look into it, thank you

my wad (maps) file is a mess
I was smart enough to organize TC's into a secondary folder but regular wads now I cant tell anymore what is in there if it is supposed to run with Ultimate Doom or Doom 2
is there a way by opening the wad file in SLADE to tell for sure?
even if they didnt include any readme or the doomworld/idgames description?
theres stuff in there I dont even know where I got it from
please tell me there is a way without having to search each and every wad because they might come from different sites

This might just be me, but I get really attracted to girls that seem like genuinely good, caring, people so much so it can supersede their appearance after a certain point. An older woman like that probably seems like one of those "born-to-mom" kind of moms and therefore probably nice and caring?

Then again the pain elemental seems cute, until it spews flying skulls around the room and I become AGITATED. That lady might starting spewing flaming skulls at you.

Did Term say where he's planning to release the mod once it's done? Moddb? Itch.io? /vr/ if he even remembers our existence?

>I just realized that I could'nt find the .mdl files for the Quake1 ammo & health pick-ups all this time because they are actually stored internally as .BSP brush entities
So how did the AD mod team managed to turn them into proper 3D models then?

>>11831397
He tends to release his stuff on Itch so just keep an eye on his developer page.

>>11831403
Literally by changing the file extension in QuakeC to .mdl instead of .bsp.
I'm pretty sure modern source ports will look for mdl replacement files automatically though.

>>11831241
My dentist is a chubby older woman. But what really made me fall for her was how fast she was navigating her desktop. She does the same as I do where you start moving your cursor to prompts before the prompt even opens. She's already thinking 2-3 moves ahead on what action she needed to perform.
I fucking hate watching boomers stare blankly reading things in their entirety and treating every prompt or page on their PC like its some unsolvable puzzle.
I might break my teeth so she feels inside my mouth again.

Reminded me of the Maw location from Thief

what's the easiest way to play Blood? don't see anything in OP about downloads

>>11831703
disregard i suck cocks

>>11830920
Easier than opening the slade file is either opening the .txt file, or searching the wad on doomwiki. Near the top of the text file is "Advanced engine needed: _" Will either be vanilla, limit-removing, boom, mbf, gzdoom version x, etc.
Only way to keep it permanently organized is using different folders, i.e. wads\vanilla, wads\boom, etc.

>>11831703
>>11831704
ok so i got blood fresh supply. is looking at the ground/ceiling supposed to "warp" toward you when you look at it? i don't know how else to describe it.

>>11831795
That is known as y-shearing. I change the rendering to OpenGL or hardware, hopefully that source port has that option.

>>11831818
graphics API option had directx 11, openGL 3.2, and vulkan, all did the same behavior unfortunately.

GOOD AFTERNOON MOTHERFUCKERS, IT'S THAT TIME OF THE WEEK AGAIN: SCREENSHOT SATURDAY!! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? Maps, mods, sprites? Now's a good time to post that shit!

>>11831860
Weaving hyperrealistic illusions of volume.

>>11831836
No way they force you to use y-shearing in hardware mode. Try out the NotBlood source port. Download it and unzip it into C:\Blood or wherever, then copy-paste the Blood game files into the folder; the specific files needed are inside the readme. I dunno if you can use the Fresh Supply game files, though. 1 minute of research says the cutscenes don't work but it may be fine. You can find One Unit Whole Blood somewhere in the OP and use that for the original game files

Nothing crazy really, friend wanted to take a shot at reworking BOA's weapons and gameplay a bit, so for testing purposes i threw together a placeholder Sten animation and did some minor sound work

I'm working on a prospective map for the new 2048 project, before any rules or texture packs are out. It's really just torii gates so far.

>>11831860
I have finished MAP29 of 30.

>>11825738 (OP)
alright fuckers here's the main project post, since the thread is about to hit the bump limit i'll be sure to put this in the next thread too

>THREE DEGREES OF /VR/ (2048 Units Pt. 2)
Rules:
>1. Your map must fit within a 2048x2048 square in the editor. No exceptions, except for non-visible inaccessible areas like monster teleporters or whatever. Everything the player can see or get to must be within 2048x2048 units.
>2. Aim for Boom compat as a baseline, vanilla stuff is fine, don't get fucky with scripting or custom stuff
>3. BEFORE YOU START, PICK WHICH OF THE THREE TEXTURE SETS YOU WILL USE AND ANNOUNCE IT TO THE THREAD
Texture sets:
>Episode 1 will use NMN corporation, https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/graphics/nmncorp1
>Episode 2 will use GothixTX, https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/graphics/gothictx
>Episode 3 will use textures from DBP44, Japanese Valentines, do not use the HDOOM lost soul so help me god https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/d-f/dbp44
Deadline:
>You have two months from this post coming out to submit your map. Once time is up, I will compile what we have into a WAD and put it out for you fucks to help me test.

sound good?

>>11832130
I don't like the seeing part being within 2048x2048 units, I love making big scenes around the square. Areas the player can actually get to though, definitely.

What do you know, it's been a year already. Nice to hear that your mapping locomotive hasn't yet run out of coal, anon.

>>11832142
alright, i see what you're saying, that's fine, the important thing is everything playable should be within the 2048x2048 square

>>11832143
That map with the huge tower was much, much more painful to make.

playing Going Down Turbo right now, holy kino

>>11832130
>Episode 1 will use NMN corporation
Make sure that it's both parts, NMN Corp is divided up into two separate parts.

>>11831860
Working on something related to Eraser. It isn't a sequel but it still involves exploring an artificial landscape. It's also MBF21, so it'll have some cool guns and other stuff if I feel it's important.

Your looking for invasion gameplay... I made a 6 wave outdoor progression invasion map and lost it wiping a pc.... You can set floors to drop at the end of rounds and "alter the map" as the rounds go....

I just took an existing invasion map.. looked at the script and it all made sense..

My map was an outdoor parking lot... Then outside of a mall... Then mall opened... Then theater opened... Then hockey rink opened.... Im still looking high and low for that old build....

>>11832130
I have an old 2048 map in the works using GothicTX and I'm interested in making a Japan theme map.

Still looking for a mapper and/or someone to help me with a custom enemy (boss).... I have a bit of money in my steam wallet can help with a midpriced game... Gzdoom udmf with a few quirks (because of bloom)... Im 7 maps in looking for 10 total for Halloween... message my modDB if interested

>>11831874
There it is. Expected it in my driveway yesterday.

>>11832130
Hm. I sorta wanna go for GothicTX, but I also really wanna try out those NMN textures, they are sick as balls. I guess I'll try to make a map with NMN, then maybe I'd try doing a second one with GothicTX later, if I have the time.

>>11832130
Are we gonna use the old 2048 Units weapon set?

>>11832431
Nah, let's keep it simple.

Quake 2 is my jam

>There will be a full release of the texture resource after Back to Saturn X's three episodes are complete. In the meantime, please be respectful and don't take our stuff. Thanks!
Of those who wished to make a shabby techbase with BTSXE1 textures, how many do you think has married, built a house, lived to see their grandkids, buried their parents or died themselves since? Unhumorous question.

>>11832589
Some, I imagine.
Gonna be real serious, I would LOVE to make a few techbase levels with BUTTSEX E1's texture set, I think it's so fucking beautiful.

>>11832130
>Aim for Boom compat as a baseline
So wait, not MBF21?

>>11832596
I'm gonna make the level MBF21, and he can take it or leave it.

>>11832596
>>11832608
Take a tripcode Xaser

>>11832130
Is the intent for the texture set to be exclusive or can you mix in vanilla ones

>>11832596
We're not going to use custom enemies or decorations. I don't know what else MBF21 offers besides instant-kill floors and all the good stuff is in the Boom format anyway, so I guess it's kind of pointless.

>>11832431
i didn't even like that weapons set tbqh

>>11832613
Nigger shut the fuck up.

>>11832638
MBF21 fixes the broken crusher functions in Boom, and add a few more helpful features, in addition to UMAPINFO. Don't see why not.

>>11832130
You'll want to modify all these texture packs before mapping officially begins. None of them natively contain Boom Switches or Animated definitions, instead overriding stock Doom patches/textures/sky, which will limit vanilla textures and more importantly, conflict with each other once you compile them together. Trust me, it'll be a hassle trying to resolve the conflicts after the maps are already made. We need 3 custom made texture wads, real soon.

>>11832194
Like this anon already said, NMN Corp. textures also need to be compiled together. Also, also, DBP44 has a custom palette which I assume we won't be using, but means some textures will look slightly different and possibly need to be palette converted.

>>11832623
None of these texture packs are comprehensive on their own enough to fully replace the stock doom textures, particularly with stuff like liquids and skies. The rules should specify you can use one texture pack per map in addition to the default textures.

>>11832709
>Trust me, it'll be a hassle trying to resolve the conflicts after the maps are already made. We need 3 custom made texture wads, real soon.
Yeah, we better get on that shit BEFORE the mapping really starts.

>particularly with stuff like liquids and skies
That part is easy, I can dig up and whip up some stuff for that.
