TO SUBMIT NEWS, REPLY TO THIS POST (ideally with the [MM-DD] date bracket)

So, been working on another MBF21 mod in an effort to keep my mind occupied. No screenshots because I'm phoneposting, but I want to hear it from YOU, anon: which do you like most?

>UAC-made cell weapons
OR
>demonic weapons captured by the UAC

The rest of the lineup is more or less usual stuff, apart from the chainsaw being slated to be a laser cutter of sorts.

>>11889373
Demonic weapons are unique. Are they going to just be plasma reskins, or have different functions?

Just finished map 08 of DBP 50, the large and non-linear city. How do people come up with layouts like this? Also, post some other high-IQ maps with really impressive layouts.

>>11889381
They'll be different somehow. Kinda thinking about slot 6 using the beta BFG attack (spammy, projectiles bounce off ceilings and floors) no clue about 7 yet.

>>11889126
>>11889126
>>11889126
Whats wrong with hexen gameplay? Beside the retarded shield centaurs

>Supress the attempts of a child in a rotting 30 year old carcass's attempts to do ANYTHING for his 75 year old grandmother in the nursing home and both parties are incapable of working, to actually do anything of value within the community or ever make a videogame; outright taunt him repeatedly
>He's the villain when he's expected to be okay with repeatedly being trampled on
>He's the villain when he loves his grandmother and tries his hardest with the increasing limitations he has
>He's the villain when he's expected to just put up with it indefinately and deal with shit like aluminum destroying brain function
You people can't even be real humans. I'm starting to be convinced of this; Anybody does anything in this community and they're praised but whenever I tried to do something like assisting the treasonous applefat.gov it was "creepy vore mouths"- ignoring Going down and Jenesis and all that other shit, yeah, ok.

>>11889395
I wouldn't say it's bad, but it sure pales in comparison to Doom's straight forward simplicity.
Really Heretic's gameplay isn't too bad either, but it doesn't match up for how cool the visuals can be.

>>11889395
I don't care for the way that it does its keyhunts and switchunts.

>>11889407
forgot pic

>>11889414
Holy shit. what the fuck is wrong with me.
Sorry.

>>11889373
I do like cell weapons, but a set of demonic weapons is a lot more eye-catching.
Heck, where's a real one even been done, other than Demon Eclipse/Hell-Forged and Eriguns? (which is just glued together from DE's scraps)

>>11889373
more weird shit pulled outta hell.
random 'fauna' like the blood leech is cool too

>>11889397
I see. They say syndicates of wizards have led a boycott of Imperial goods in the land of the Altmer. Farewell.

>>11889397
>Supress the attempts of a child in a rotting 30 year old carcass's attempts to do ANYTHING for his 75 year old grandmother in the nursing home and both parties are incapable of working
>>11886669
>i broke her tv and labtop because i lost it

It was suggested to also add Odamex for the oldschool ports, but I don't know anything at all about that port, I haven't used it, can anyone else give me a rundown or even write a short blurb I could use?

>>11889373
>in an effort to keep my mind occupied
Hope transitioning goes well for you Mattie, you deserve it

>>11889490
Woah, new colors.
>marathon aesthetic
>outdated doomrunner
>often fucked
>monster opening screenshots
>/vr/ team
>annoying previous votes
>sans killed
>beach secrets
>iwad pistol
>dsda-doom ride bad
>hexen contrast unique

>>11889504
I chose those colors in honor of the OP, it's not something I play with often at all so I figured why not.

>>11889491
Odamex's niche lies in oldschool deathmatch.

>>11889490
Thanks doc

>>11889350 (OP)
thanks doc

>>11889350 (OP)
thanks, doc

Featuring example pic showing a launcher.

>>11889510
I've heard that part.

We should probably squeeze some completely stock Doom and Doom 2 screenshots at the original resolution into there, like just a collage in the middle somewhere.

Uh, any of you guys have a trove of such screenshots to share?

>>11889417
https://www.mediafire.com/file/6qzrl9at5xphixh/ccccombo.wad/file
Example wad. Works well, other than hearing the door repeatedly open by jamming the monster in it.
But otherwise... Yeh. Vanilla combo lock. Kinda fun.
If you get the combo wrong it just teleports the demon into the courtyard with you.

> CLASSIC DOOM CHALLENGE <

Record an UV Max demo of Sunless Empire MAP05 "Chasm of the Dying Light" (-cl 21).
My playthrough in 10:00 (RC1 wad): https://files.catbox.moe/ydq1al.lmp

> Wad download
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/154269-sunless-empire-rc1-10-aztec-themed-mbf21-maps-by-the-waffle-house-team/
It's freshly baked, led by the dude known for Nostalgia, Pina Coladas and Simulacrum.

This is a large map, but the encounters are DBP-tier. Watch your health and ammo, you may run out! Previous maps are also fun and unique, you can do them as well if you care for le story. Later on the wad gets pretty difficult.

Previous challenge winner: Going Down Turbo MAP16 in 2:03 >>11887584

>>11889613
>Sunless Empire
Never heard of this .wad, is it inspired by Sunder or Sunlust? Is it totally balls to the walls in difficulty?

>>11889621
The name may relate to sunlust. As I said first 5 maps are no more difficult than your typical DBP. Only the last 3 are slaughter.

>>11889350 (OP)
btw the title of this thread was meant to be pronounced with the cadence and tone you'd use saying Redemption Denied, but that doesn't really convey I think

Regular thread reminder to any map makers: please use these unused Doom graphics in your maps, despite being official graphics made by the guy's at ID, these are rarely ever used in any map wads, please don't let them go to waste.

>>11889491
How do you guys feel about recommending odamex to new people?
Good things:
> Has graphical launcher
> Autodownloads pwads (and freedoom on freedoom servers) so they can discover new stuff
> Has somewhat active multiplayer so that they can meet some friends, also their Horde event is quite populated

>>11889397
Well yes. Destroying your dying grandmother's tv and laptop, just because why not, is some comically over-the-top villain shit. You are not the victim. She is your victim.

>>11889556

>>11889418
I can't think of much else that hasn't also used DE/HF assets, because those are really good sprites and most spriters default to regular guns. Sorta the case here, I'll use some HF stuff because try as I might, spriting just isn't my thing.

>>11889421
Duly noted.

>>11889494
Made me chuckle, so thanks for it. I might hate myself, but nowhere near enough to do that.

>>11889603
neato. the hint isn't particularly visible though. the final teleport doesn't seem necessary since there's a W1 Door before it. also I didn't realize monsters could trigger that? that opens up more possibilities for logic gates
there doesn't seem to be any coherent source of truth regarding line specials. look at this:
https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Linedef_type
>4 Reg W1 No Slow 4s Yes Open, Wait, Then Close
the Yes there means monsters can trigger it. compare to
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Linedef_type
>4 Doom W1 Door
doesn't say monsters can trigger it

>sector #20 is non-contiguous
this reminds me, has anyone done anything with non-closed sectors? sectors can have open sides, which might enable more shenanigans

How come Vertex Relocation was removed from the news post?

>>11889350 (OP)
good morning. so finally played and completed the first episode of doom in my late 30s. i played the game a ton growing up on pc, but always used codes. i guess i felt like the game was impossible or something. but i played thru it legit and it was completely reasonable. still a very fun game.

>>11889395
Fun fact: mash centaurs do not become invulnerable when they raise their shield, although they still deflect projectiles.

>>11889930
hum hum.. seems like specials are translated to Hexen format by p_xlat.cpp, which is why ./src/playsim/actionspecials.h doesn't correspond to Doom. for example, W1 Door is 4 in Doom, but linedef 4 is defined in actionspecials.h as
>DEFINE_SPECIAL(Polyobj_Move, 4, 4, 4, 4)
the magic seems to be in the generated file build/src/xlat_parser.c. it seems excessively complicated for the task of just translating a bunch of integers to a bunch of structs. the goods are in ./wadsrc/static/xlat/base.txt (all monster-compatible linedefs):
1 = USE|MONST|REP, Door_Raise (0, D_SLOW, VDOORWAIT, tag)
4 = WALK|MONST, Door_Raise (tag, D_SLOW, VDOORWAIT)
10 = WALK|MONST, Plat_DownWaitUpStayLip (tag, P_FAST, PLATWAIT, 0)
32 = USE|MONST, Door_LockedRaise (0, D_SLOW, 0, BCard | CardIsSkull, tag)
33 = USE|MONST, Door_LockedRaise (0, D_SLOW, 0, RCard | CardIsSkull, tag)
34 = USE|MONST, Door_LockedRaise (0, D_SLOW, 0, YCard | CardIsSkull, tag)
39 = WALK|MONST, Teleport (0, tag)
46 = SHOOT|REP|MONST, Door_Open (tag, D_SLOW)
88 = WALK|REP|MONST, Plat_DownWaitUpStayLip (tag, P_FAST, PLATWAIT, 0)
97 = WALK|REP|MONST, Teleport (0, tag)
^ these are all vanilla compatible, I think. the rest are introduced in Boom, MBF, ZDoom etc:
174 = USE|MONST, Teleport (0, tag)
195 = USE|REP|MONST, Teleport (0, tag)
207 = WALK|MONST, Teleport_NoFog (0, 2, tag, 1)
208 = WALK|REP|MONST, Teleport_NoFog (0, 2, tag, 1)
209 = USE|MONST, Teleport_NoFog (0, 2, tag, 1)
210 = USE|REP|MONST, Teleport_NoFog (0, 2, tag, 1)
243 = WALK|MONST, Teleport_Line (tag, tag, 0)
244 = WALK|REP|MONST, Teleport_Line (tag, tag, 0)
262 = WALK|MONST, Teleport_Line (tag, tag, 1)
263 = WALK|REP|MONST, Teleport_Line (tag, tag, 1)

>>11889491
Old parts were already verbose, and yours pad it well beyond that. Maybe trim the whole thing with simplified sentences and by removing *absolutely* unnecessary parts? Links being bold and narrow also made them unreadable, old picture hadn't such issue. Honestly, if i wasn't sure what I was doing, I would've taken my sweet time working on this instead of writing regular reports.

>>11889953
I've been playing Doom 1 again myself, it's a lot of fun. Kinda forgot how creepy some levels get.

>>11889932
I wish it was, but it's still there. Lead took upon himself to QC everything, while in old days we were lucky to have streamers supply us with generous full footage.

>>11889979

>>11889350 (OP)
Thank you Dr. Betruger

Just completed eviternity 2, what a wad.
A lot of people seem to like it more than the original, but I don't think those people would be me.
It goes way overboard with the monster arenas. I've read that dragonfly doesn't want to make another eviternity because 2 made him so sick of doom it made him hate the game for a time. It vindicated me in thinking some parts of the wad might've been going through the motions.
Still, It's an audiovisual marvel, which was enough to sell me to the end credits.
Even the more forgettable encounter design is still fun because it's doom combat and mappers have gotten it down to a science at this point.

>>11889350 (OP)
I wonder if there is a GZDoom mod where you can "draw" in something like a canvas.
Or like MSPaint in GZDoom, where the drawings can even be put in wall textures like graffiti in some games.
Or if you have minigames where you have to draw specific shapes (Or at least "close enough" shapes) for something to happen like drawing a pentagram to summon demons.
Bit of a reference: This newgrounds game revolving around using your mouse to draw shapes to use abilities and shit.

>>11890114
it's cool, but i can't imagine the agony of implementing that shit in zscript, and the crashes that'd follow while playing it.
anyone artsy who'd chase such an idea themselves would probably go for a different engine altogether desu.

>>11890114
You can use Bolognese Gore to paint everything a very nice shade of red, does that count?

>>11889850
>just because why not
You are clearly an automated response program. Go fuck yourself.

I upgraded my logic thing to a 2-bit full adder
https://files.catbox.moe/8rb8o4.wad
inputs are two 2-bit numbers (a and b) plus carry in. output bits are the pens
to work around not having a good way to invert a signal, in the first stage I form not just the carry (the topmost three "lanes") but also its inverse (the thick lane below it)
I economize as much on pinkies as I feel I can get away with, without making the thing too slow
I discovered that pinkies won't turn a 64x64 corner as nicely as a 64x96 one, which is why the bottommost set of gates are shaped the way they are

>>11890232
oh and I make use of the block monsters flag on some two-sided linedefs to make the thing more compact

Huh. Apparently if you install Doom+Doom2, gzdoom automatically finds the iwads for you. Well, the 4 important ones for mods, anyway (d1, d2, tnt, plutonia).

>>11890253
Most reputed and not so ports begun doing that almost immediately. With Unity release it actually bothered me, because of weird bugs with frame sequences when dying zombiemen momentarily transformed into cacodemons or something like that. Maybe that was already fixed at some point.

>>11890173
To add
>slready stated I can't afford food because I cannot work for a living and have been subsisting on fucking peanut butter mixed with balsamic glaze for several days
OF COURSE I WOULD LOSE MY MIND, THERE ISN'T EXACTLY NUTRITION IN THERE.

>>11890276
>Being in poverty because you're a brain-damaged retard due to Big Pharma pushing deadly toxins on the population makes you evil
This is how I can tell you're not a real human.
Otherwise you would never push "meds" as a solution to a problem caused by people trying to kill you legally.

"Florida’s Surgeon General says Pfizer’s mRNA COVID shot alone may be responsible for at least 470,000 American deaths."
Fucking call us just 'conspriacy theorists', Go ahead.
Vaxes cause autism, dementia and other neurological damage.

I'M evil because I was hungry

But not the people in positions of power who literally traffic or molest children and stage world wars.
Not the people who literally harvest people's organs while they're still alive under false pretenses of "brain death"
Nope. The braindamaged retard is THE ULTIMATE EVIL that the doom community needs to suppress.
Fuck you.

>>11890283
>>11890303
>whataboutism

>just because
Fuck you. This bait is so fucking blatant but you pissed me off that much.
I'd of rather died or of been homeless still rather than have this shit happen.
But instead of getting the euthanasia I had begged for for nearly two fucking decades I'm going to still have my brainwashed aunt and mother point fingers since they have an idealized version of me that only exists in their heads due to Pedophilewood.
I told them shit would only get worse if I was forced to keep living and the blame could not be laid squarely on me, that such things would be inevitable if i was forced to keep living; and I was right.
I'm fucking sick of being right.
Parasites. The lot of you.

To think I was close to being able to fucking quit the cannabis; but this is obviously a fucking mistake and I should never bother if I break a goddamn PC and TV whenever I'm 'sober'

"High Functioning"? What fucking part of "high functioning autism" is the FUNCTIONING PART?
Assholes and their aluminum in the fucking jabs.

Jesus christ this place went to rotten tits when Hiroshimoot took over. MootChan was better.
About 12 of the users here are likely just samefags, bots, or the fucking janitors jerking eachother off.

So, is this still a Doom thread?

>>11890328
Splitting the boards into /vg/ /vr/ and etc was a mistake.

>>11890328
Sure is. Don't feed the schizo, ignore him and his rants.

Making some artfag map for an artfag project. It's kinda fun to work with such a broken palette, even if my eyes strain 5 minutes into playing the damn thing.

Pink outfit progressing slowly

>>11890345
Is this Doom running on the Virtual Boy?

>>11889930
it's a w1, but it still closes. Final teleport jams him in the door so it stays open.
I made a list of vanilla-actions-monsters-can-use ages ago: https://clovr.xyz/wadsup/doku.php?id=tutorials:mapping:vanilla_line_actions_usable_by_monsters
Seems like you already have that info now tho.

>>11890345
You're stronger than I am, anon. I'm pretty sure this would give me a headache in the first five seconds of motion.

>>11890350
It's certainly as disorienting and puke-worthy as that thing, I think.

>>11890357
It helps that the palette is fucked with color translations, so at least mapping isn't too bad.

>>11889905
Glad to hear you aren't, you're good as you are.

>>11890346
Nice.

>>11889373
A mix of both is cool, or the third option of a UAC-made weapon that's been corrupted by demonic shit.

>Final teleport jams him in the door so it stays open
oh that's clever

>>11890346
Cute. Say, you should do a cutesy magical girl outfit for the girls, ala Cardcaptor Sakura.

>>11890274
Woah. If you use the trakplayer mod with gzdoom, it'll automatically play the remixed music.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/trakplayer/addons/trakplayer

>>11890345
Jesus, that's rough to look at. How are you even going to play that? It seens like projectiles and monsters are gonna just disappear into noise.

>>11890407
It's made by artfags, for artfags. Some of the example maps are insane kaizo shit like dumping the player face-first into a shoebox with a buffed cyber that shoots a damn near undodgeable volley of rockets while heresiarch-looking motherfuckers spam so many fireballs you just die without the invuln you're force-fed at the beginning of the maps.

Some others are chill, though. I'm going for mostly exploration-focused, no real kaizo shit aside from dodging fire from a few monsters with some cover.

>>11890345
of all the fucking consoles to base your community project aesthetic on why virtual boy

>>11890346
Are you the creator of la tailor girl? Thank you for your work if so.

>>11890328
Yea. Sarais is just having an episode again. It might take days or weeks, but eventually he'll calm down.

I'm just not going to play FPS games with freelook anymore

>>11890436
were there even any games without freelook released after blood?

>>11890491
i thought maybe i could disable freelook in gzdoom games like Hedon, but no, they've removed the option.

>>11890436

>>11890507
It's expected of them to be not. I beat the first episode of Square on sole keyboard without major problems, but had to use camera binds to look upwards a few times.

What is the most authentic Quake source port?
QuakeSpasm?

>>11890662
Chocolate Quake appeared some months ago. Not sure how it is, but before that there was only DOS emulation afaik.

>>11890662
If you mean authentic in a visual sense, then likely either MarkV or Chocolate Quake. You're going to have a hard time playing a lot of recent maps and mods with them though.
You're probably better off just using Ironwail with one of its 8-bit modes.

I’m trying to find this one doom wad i used to play from doomworld that was a megawad ish, you start off in a warehouse in a suburb then the next map was being on a train where you need to board multiple ones while they’re moving then it’s a castle where you have to enter through an underground sewer tunnel and then it’s another warehouse esque town but with a port where you have to make platforming jumps with springs from sonic, then you face a boss of the authors sonic oc which consisted of being a blue tails that rapidly shot railgun projectiles at you, then finally the last map I believe takes place in a giant sky base with skybox graphics from Sonic 3. It was very Sonic esque but it isn’t Super Sonic Doom, I checked. Very similar though as they replace the skull keys with orange green and white keycards instead.

So, what's everybody been playing lately?

I gave DoomShrunk a go with D-Radys (since the only other short as fuck character I could think of was Blaz), it was pretty neat.

>>11890690
nova4. The quality is all over the place

>>11890690
>So, what's everybody been playing lately?
So much Unreal. I keep saying how I'm going to go back to Eviternity 2 and other Doom stuff but Unreal keeps happening.

Isn't that kind of the point with the Nova series? Nova 3 even has a map by the Chainworld Kommando mapper.

>>11890698

>>11890701
NTA but yeah, the Nova series' gimmick is being mostly newer/inexperienced mappers

>>11890690
For retro, mostly just Dwell for Quake. Played some Ultimate Doom 2 yesterday and I'm honestly kinda tired of it even though I previously got to map 16 and loved it.

Non-retro, Deus Ex Human Revolution. I wanna get to the first game once I'm done with it.

Speaking of that guy, he seems to have mostly purged himself from the net, even going as far to get his site taken off the wayback machine.

What the fuck were they thinking with map 15

>>11890746
>map 15
lol, I just reached that one, haven't started yet. I am more appalled at the fact they actually put in the trash fire that is map 33

>>11890708
Yeah it was kind of the DUMP before DUMP, which persisted after that ended.

>>11890749
Most of the map is optional with some pretty nasty fights, but the hidden final fight to the secret exit is "fuck you" tier. Doesn't help that the hidden maps afterwards are pretty ass, especially map 32.

RAMP is kind of continution of DUMP. Nova series always felt like an unofficial continuation of Community Chest series.

Most of the way through TNT:XIAO with Hideous Destructor. The maps have been good bite-sized fun overall, but I've hit a bit of a wall on Map25 because it's just piles of barons and hell knights in close quarters and all the frag gets the better of me sooner or later. Doesn't help that I'm also wrestling with a zero-tic infinite loop that the HDFX blood mod is prone to causing on this particular map so it's a cointoss whether I even get past the first encounter, regardless of how well I play it.

Yeah, it was added with expansion. Have you checked Cryptic Passage yet?

So how does Sunlust do the reviving enemies in the first part of God Machine? What kind of sorcery do they use?

They replaced Commander Keen with an invisible, non-blocking object that moves around with vilechase.

>>11890980
But they only resurrect the monsters once, what gives?

>>11890983
Their healing state kills them.

>>11890993
As you make your way back the starting area, the enemies closest to you seem to revive as you approach them. Do the new commander vile have a really short activation radius and stands right beside the corpses?
Also in the first arena the monsters killed near the pillars revive, do they have lots and lots of those capt. vile inside the pillar?

>>11890354
>46: GR Door Open Stay
this coupled with geometry that allows shooty monsters to see the player but not hit them could also be useful

>>11890995
>Do the new commander vile have a really short activation radius and stands right beside the corpses?
A "short activation radius" isn't really something you can do in vanilla/boom, It's more likely they're just following you like a swarm of flies so they resurrect things near you.
>Also in the first arena the monsters killed near the pillars revive, do they have lots and lots of those capt. vile inside the pillar?
Looking at the map, I see teleport destinations inside those pillars so I assume so.

I forgot the joy of not giving a fuck whether you're leaving the map with just a few secrets found.

Picrel is the mod I've been working on, it's nothing groundbreaking but I have been enjoying playtesting it. Won't bore you guys with details, it's pretty generic aside from me making some of the weapons have Duke Nukem 3D-style reloads and ammo counts being pretty damn low (with the weapons usually buffed accordingly).

>>11891278
>I forgot the joy of not giving a fuck whether you're leaving the map with just a few secrets found.
This triggers memories of playing Ion Fury/Maiden where it'll tell you how many secrets you're missing before exiting the level and then getting anxiety to go back and find them but then you get unlucky and can't and waste so much time that you then never make progress or finish the game
Then many years later you come back to it on a whim and when you see the
>are you sure you want to exit you have 2/18 secrets
You finally have the notion to say, FUCK IT and slam W down
Only way to actually make progress and beat some of these old games really without anxiety taking over and causing your game to come to standstill.

>I forgot the joy of not giving a fuck whether you're leaving the map with just a few secrets found.

>>11891293
Gives a whole knew meaning to the term "death metal"

i stopped looking for every secret when i realized i dont need or use all the goodies i find, but when i play on higher difficulties i always look for them, i still hate some doom 2 secret traps because of this
>>11891285
i still didnt play iron maiden, but wasnt the game hard enough to make you need to actually look for every secret?

>>11891316
New*

>>11891317
The game has powerups and on the highest difficulties those can really stack the odds in your favour so secrets do help quite a bit, but they aren't necessary.
I find it more fun to do the fights without powerups sometimes, some of them are too brainless.

>>11890983
they don't, actually. if an enemy dies close to the wall he'll be revived again

>>11891328
At that point in the conversation I was talking about the part after that first fight when you're walking back to the starting area. Read the reply chain.

>>11891321
well is good to know my method of using secrets will work when i finally stop procrastinating and play iron maiden, though i will probably will need the secrets since i had a tough time with shadow warrior and blood

>>11891317
>>11891321
That's basically how I've found running a map with the "pistol start UV no saving" 'standard', even if you don't max it knowing some big secrets makes the encounters go much smoother than your virgin run where you might want to play continuous or with saves etc. just to have >fun.
Kind of feel similar about Blood on Well Done, I love the game on that difficulty but it's pretty agonizing playing it your first time on that difficulty if you aren't familiar with the maps and how to deal with cultists even if you're saving ammo. After that it's a blast playing on that tougher difficulty.

>>11891332
the mechanics are the same, there're a bunch of keens inside the walls next to corpses. I'm not sure what the other guy means when he says they're "following you", they're stationary.

>>11889613
RC2 version of the wad was released, I re-recorded the example demo for it https://files.catbox.moe/isakl6.lmp (9:49)

>>11891337
Ion Fury is a lot easier than Shadow Warrior or Blood, specially Blood.
First playthrough I did it in the second highest difficulty to get a feel for it. Second playthrough I did it in the highest difficulty and had a blast, the game was so much tighter that way.
I think they added yet another difficulty after that in an update but I didn't come back to it to check it out.
>>11891341
Is he right in that they die after they revive something?

Is it just me or do you always strafe at full speed in ironwail? It seems strafe always uses the run speed.

>>11891343
>Is he right in that they die after they revive something?
Nah. Like I said, if you kill an enemy too close to the walls they'll just be revived again. I don't think the map ever bothers killing them, they're modified to make no sound and not count towards the kill count.

make sure to check out Death Wish, if you like Blood you gonna love this one even more. Some anons may try to convince you to wait till 2.0 update but I say current version isn't any worse. Has custom midi and CD soundtrack too, highly recommend it, fits really well.

>>11892404
>(some are with https, some without)
Consequence of some of the length of some links. Github is really autistic and programmerbrained, and doesn't put releases (you know, one of the key aspects), as one of the top page tabs like next to issues or anything, instead it's down in a small sidebar you need to scroll down to, so anyone unfamiliar can easily miss it, because it's an incredibly unintuitive layout choice.

I want to make absolutely sure that someone typing in or otherwise copying those links will be taken straight to the release page, so that there's no chance of them missing the actual download, and making that fit means cutting off the https at the beginning.

>>11892628
For some mods that are just maps and levels:
>Return to Na Pali Ultimate Edition
>Tower of Shrakitha
>Project Zephon (UT)
>Deja Vu: Gryphon Revisited (UT)
As above but not as polished:
>Strange World
>Redeem your Space
>Forgotten
For gameplay mods, I'm only really exposed to these three:
>Unreal Evolution
>RLCoop
>Project Gryphon
Project Gryphon is like a rebalanced and expanded version of RLCoop. Unreal Evolution is like "Unreal Plus". I might have mentioned them last thread.
And then there's The One. I would save it for last because it's almost too fucking good and it might spoil you (or you might hate it because of how open and expansive its gorgeous levels can get).
I've gotten almost everything from these two sites and the Unreal Moddb:

Oh damn very fitting lmao

I'm trying to come up with a list of some good universal singleplayer/coop shooter gameplay modifiers - stuff that could work in Doom, Quake, Duke or most other classic shooters. So far I've got:
>ungibbed enemies resurrect after a while
>vampire mode: lose health over time, but drain health from enemies (potentially exceeding normal max health)
>piñata mode: some enemies gain excessive health but move very slowly and drop a lot of random pickups upon death
>random enemies get buffed in different ways (more damage, damage resistance, faster speed, etc.) and then drop a timed version of their buff upon death
>enemy multiplier... pretty obvious
>modifier where all damage (given or taken) is doubled
>weapon and ammo pickup randomizer
>excessive gibs and blood effects, possibly combined with double explosive radius
>random spawning of explosive barrels or other hazards
>spooky mode: map gets covered in excessive fog and/or enemies are invisible until they attack
>mode where gravity is lowered and any damage will knock things around
Am I missing anything?

Hey, any ACS (for modern GZDoom) gurus in here? I want to do a tutorial button prompt a-la Half-Life 2, and I need to check the language the user has set. I've already been given a "workaround" way to do it, but I figured I might as well ask someone here. Is there a dedicated, "proper" way to check for the user's language in ACS or not?

>>11892890
Yeah it's me, I'll give Mock 2 a try thanks. Quake mods are also welcome

I probably already know the answer to this, but is it possible to code in a deckbuilding minigame/game using GZ Doom scripting?

>>11892998
Yes.

Mando is easily the strongest character in Alien Armageddon. Not only all of his weapons are excellent and simple to use, the shotgun being, perhaps, the most ridiculous one, with one cheap upgrade it turns into a shell fed grenade launcher. But he also has the strongest H-item in the game, which charges from kills, which is unique to Mando, and doesn’t take damage from the enemy attacks, like Wes’ one does. And on top of that, Mando comes packed with additional mobility thanks to his jetpack, which is very convenient.
Bombshell, in my opinion, might be the weakest one due to the lack of nuke in her arsenal; she’s the only character that doesn’t have access to it. What hurts her even more is that her slot 6 weapon – the turrets are a sustained damage thing. So when you need to nuke a room or quickly clear a group of tougher enemies, which happens often in the mod, your only option is using her rocket launcher, which is nothing special even when fully upgraded. However, it doesn’t mean that she’s weak in general, she can blast through the game just fine, it’ll just be less convenient to play her in comparison to the other characters. And you probably won’t even notice it in the new episodes, because they are generally very easy, only episode 2 – space gladiators provides some challenge, but it might become much more apparent in attrition mode, which isn’t shy of killing you.

>>11893003
Could I make the minigame play between maps? Would it be similar to Corruption Cards where cards chosen have effects?

>>11893009
similar scripting*

>>11893009
Probably.

>>11893007
Also, executioner is probably the best weapon in the mod in general. It’s very effective and ammo efficient against crowds, the lightning chains over to enemies over big distances, it’s guaranteed to inflict pain, allowing you to stunlock the entire crowds, including bosses, with ease, it still deals good damage to single targets, unlike other slot 4 weapons it is pinpoint accurate at any range, it’s available to any character and uses widely available ammo type. It’s so good that I never use any other slot 4 weapons and in many cases it is more effective against crowds than the explosive weapons, you just shoot one guy and the entire room explodes due to the chain lightning effect. And if you are dealing with tougher targets, you can pull them together into a tight pack and then nuke them all at once with explosives.

>>11890354
I realized another thing
>1: DR Normal Door (Open-Wait-Close)
can be operated by monsters and be used to let other monsters into an area by having two doors share sector IDs but only having the special on one of them. doors can also be made one-way by having the special on only one side, in addition to the usual teleporter shenanigans

>>11893069
oh and I think I have figured out a way to make a NOT gate: use clocked logic, have the input that inverts the gate open a door letting the monster(s) inside escape through a teleporter. if the NOT input is not asserted then the monster is allowed to proceed as normal
