[woven yew]

do i setup the zandronum server from the files in the doomseeker folder?

nvm, i found the settings

thanks for all your help!

[whole blade]

You have to pick one iwad

Doom 2 is the standard one

But you can't run doom with more than one iwad

[brisk plank]

If you wanted to make Doom maps, do you need some type of software as well as what do you need to learn before using it

And also how long would it take to learn some of that stuff

[whole blade]

Ultimate Doombuilder is what you need to make doom maps and you can make a map in minutes, and take a life time to never learn everything

depends how far you want to take it

[brisk plank]

I would probably dabble in using it, but if I did want to make some full blown wad and take a few tutorials

I would definitely learn from playing Wads first

Oh I have another question, is there more resources to get some custom textures (ie let's say I wanted some duke nukem or shadow warrior textures for a switch or something)

[whole blade]

realm667 is probably the biggest repository of assets

[brisk plank]

Okay thanks alot for this

[whole blade]

np

[grand token]

Has anyone here tried WadC?

[quick spoke]

any1 know how to turn down the volume of gunshots in brutal doom?

[whole blade]

Only way is to directly edit the sound files

Welcome to brutal doom, enjoy your stay

[quick spoke]

whoever mixed/mastered brutal doom has no clue about audio it fr makes me mad. its one of the best mods but i can't play with the volume loud at all and it makes the game not as fun as it could be

[whole blade]

Brutal doom is about everything being over done

Too many weapons, too many sounds, too loud, too visually noisy

[quick spoke]

ehhh. i think its taking away from how good it can really be

@whole blade i guess its time to make brutal doom: dylancito's remastered sound edition 😂

[whole blade]

Lol

There might already be a sound mix patch for it somewhere out there

But you'll be better off asking in the bd discord

[quick spoke]

can you send me an invite if you have it on hand please?

[quick spoke]

that would save me a lot of time

[whole blade]

I do not sorry

[quick spoke]

oop links aren't allowed but if you search 'brutal doom discord' there's an invite in the first reddit thread (if you wanted to join).

i appreciate you telling me about that im sure they'd have a lot more info in that discord. thanks

[whole blade]

Np

[woven yew]

@whole blade my son is following "david develops doom" & "jay wisely". Im guessing on how to spell that last name. I just hear him say it all the time like its one of him mentors/friends 😆

are those good resources for UDB and zandronum UDMF format tutorials? if not, who would you recommend i direct him to?

[whole blade]

Is that davidn?

Because yes if it is

Jimmy (james paddock) has good resources too

[woven yew]

i'll check on if its davidn. thanks!

he is watching davidxnewton right now

thats a different guy than the "david develops doom" vids he was watching

[glacial prairie]

Imagine a baldis basics doom classic map

[whole blade]

Yeah that's him. Rabbit dude. He's good

[glacial prairie]

NOOOO BRO ITS REAL https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cgLf-HIe8oc

[quick spoke]

@whole blade ayo! i got tons of help from the brutal doom discord so thank you for the suggestion. i ended up talking to the dude who makes brutal doom which was dope and he gave me some suggestions on how to create an add on that can be used in conjunction with brutal doom

i've never done that before i was wondering if you have any experience with that

[whole blade]

sgt mark is very helpful

i don't do coding, i'm a mapper by trade

[runic breach]

he gets a bit touchy sometimes (from some experience witnessing things on the server) but he tends to be pretty darn helpful with fans of his mod

[quick spoke]

I said brutal doom’s audio was “poorly mixed” And he didn’t get upset and still helped me so that was cool

[keen valley]

Finally figured out how to make doom midis, how's this one sounding so far

[quick spoke]

sweet!!

[worn latch]

cool

[pallid spire]

I'm making the worst DOOM mod ever. Never give an immature 15 year old the tools to make a DOOM mod. You'll instantly regret it.

[quick spoke]

im sure there's been worse 😂

[grand token]

I'm inclined to believe that the majority of Doom mods were made by immature teens across decades. Not necessarily good ones but still.

[visual nimbus]

how can i play the doomRPG mod in multiplayer (the first pic is the options menu saying something about multiplayer and the second one is the pause menu to say it is a mod for doom classic specifically doom 2 but it does have a compatibility patch for doom 1)

[runic breach]

if it's compatible with zandronum, use zandronum for MP

[runic breach]

my first doom mod i made for practice just replaced every sprite with a goat png

[visual nimbus]

not trying to be a smart ass but i would not be asking if i knew it was compatable

[safe steppe]

wdym?

you can put in sprites you make using slade

[fringe sedge]

oh thanks how do i add my own sprites do i draw them there

or add images

[runic breach]

you can make sprites in whatever app you want

there's a tutorial for this, i haven't used slade in forever

all i know is that slade converts your png or jpg or whatever it is to the doom image format and puts it in a wad or pk3

[fringe sedge]

how do i add my edited files to the sprite

[runic breach]

i'll try to find the tutorial i used

prison level entitled "cage match"

new weapon, it's a compacted crossbow that shoots a molten metal rod that explodes.

based off of the real life crossbow called the Ravin R500

[runic breach]

i wonder why that exists when there are guns

[storm charm]

hunting?

stealth mission perhaps?

[runic breach]

mm, yeah, hunting
but i think it'd be more effort to pull the arrow out than if you used a gun

[runic breach]

i think that has a map but im unsure

does anybody have a version of brutal doom that has infinite ammo allowed?

[crystal perch]

[safe steppe]

You can easily make one yourself

This is a one man project

Just find a tutorial on how to make a friendly monster, create some sprites, add any script neccessary and you're done

[uneven heart]

Thanks! I’m still working on it, added a proper secret to the chaingun area too. Here’s what it looks like now: https://youtu.be/yqdsQcIpo1w

[tall summit]

Good job ! I like the idea to make a map playable by the new players. For example with the little health bonus at the beggining to show the way to follow.

My first map was really not like that with some weird secrets and hard fight, especially in the end. I have to take it back from my old laptop.

[uneven heart]

I’m used to making platformers where it’s common to use little coins or health pickups to direct you around

[tall summit]

There is still some odd stuff but it's normal for a first map (the red skeleton over the last door). And the ceiling is really low, specially in the stairs.

[uneven heart]

Yeah, I’m happy with the layout but now I need to make it look nicer! Lots of default crate textures still

[tall summit]

Not for claustrophobic 😁

[uneven heart]

There’s a stair sector builder I was using but I was having a little bit of trouble with it

[tall summit]

Are you using Doom or Doom II for your creation ?

[uneven heart]

Doom 2

[tight talon]

Doom Slayer>>>>gow verse, bye

[runic breach]

false

[tight talon]

The slayer has infinite strength since he could charge hell (an infinite dimension) this force has no concept of beginning, no end, he could easily destroy universes with a single finger, in addition to exceeding the speed of light and his body and armor are extremely resisting

[runic breach]

false

i've been over this too many times so just ask in #general

somebody will refute you
you can also just ping the loremaster guy maybe (m0nologue)

the slayer destroying universes with a single finger and exceeding the speed of light is such massive fucking overwank

it's hilarious

rather than camping on the doom server for an active chat, you'd be better off actually playing doom

come back and check later

do something useful then ig, the server's currently dead as shit (gonna come back in a few minutes probably)

[tight talon]

I'm still in my position, the slayer is eons old it's an incalculable amount of time and kratos no more than 2000 he just has more experience and kratos doesn't compare in strength

[tight talon]

False

[runic breach]

give me your proof then

where does it state in the damn game that he can destroy fucking universes with a single touch

the guy who's read the codexes a million times over to write the most comprehensive guide to the entire series' lore agrees with the slayer not beating kratos

he's not some universe-destroying god, that's just fucking stupid

enough to be a big threat to the MCU avengers (unfamiliar with the current avengers lineup so i can't say anything for comics, plus they have too many feats to keep track of) but definitely not fucking destroys-a-multiverse-with-his-pinky level

oh yeah the current ones

thor can beat him though i'm pretty sure

idk about MCU thor's feats but the hulk would be a problem for doomguy

captain america, iron man, hawkeye, and black widow all just kinda get fucked over tbh

[runic breach]

MCU specifically

[tight talon]

The slayer can defeat almost indestructible titans as if they were made of paper, this is said in the lore after he went through the machine of divinity he defeated a titan extremely easily and quickly not even the entire army of sentinels could scratch the titan (if I take time to write it's because I don't speak English)

[runic breach]

thor withstood the power of an exploding star didn't he

[runic breach]

it doesn't say he beat it easily

it just says he beat it

doesn't say how long it took eitehr

but you know what?

you're a very smart young boy and you win this argument on whether a video game character could beat another one

[tight talon]

Thanks 🥲

[runic breach]

there should be a thread for doom slayer vs arguments

[tight talon]

Mmm idk maybe davoth prime

well in the end I know their duel the slayer was clean and davoth completely tired and destroyed XD

[runic breach]

thanos def had armor

a power stone too
the slayer can BFG hulk to deal damage but that's about it afaik

yeah, definitely

how can I play Aliens TC?

[grand token]

Just as you'd play any other pwad. Note that it requires the Doom iwad rather than the Doom 2 one.

It's a TC but not standalone.

[brave hemlock]

Here's my sales pitch:

||
The gates of Hell have been unleashed upon the world, and its armies are wreaking havoc across the planet. Amidst the chaos, a new threat emerges - an immortal queen, empowered by demonic forces and ruling with an iron fist. Her name is Elizabeth II, and she is not content with ruling over just one country. No, she seeks to conquer the entire world, laying waste to all who stand in her way.

As one of the last remaining survivors of the apocalypse, you know that the fate of the world rests on your shoulders. Armed with nothing but your wits and your weapons, you set out to stop the queen and put an end to her reign of terror.

But the journey ahead will not be easy. You will face hordes of demons and otherworldly creatures, all loyal to the queen and determined to stop you at all costs. You will have to navigate through treacherous landscapes and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And above all, you will have to confront the queen herself, in a final battle for the fate of the world.

This is the time, and this is the hour.

Welcome to BREXIT DOOM.
||

Thank you for listening to my sales pitch

[torn bluff]

If anyone would like to test out my deathmatch map in offline skirmish in Zandronum or something and provide some feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it!

[lusty dove]

why does udb not have an option for adding a new map to an existing wad?

[brave hemlock]

yeah, that's a bit annoying... you have to add levels in slade or smth

[sharp fern]

Thats insane bro, love it

[lusty dove]

to do that can i just make a new map marker

or do i need all of the other map data sections as well

[safe steppe]

copy paste the map marker and all the lumps under it

[brave hemlock]

Idk, I just go to SLADE's editor and add like 32 empty maps

save and open in udb

[safe steppe]

All these lumps that have a green icon are map lumps

select all of them and copy them to your other wad

[lusty dove]

ok

thank you

[brave hemlock]

doom wad lumps are kinda like programming

you have starts and you have ends, kinda like curly brackets

[safe steppe]

A wad file acts more like a archive file excpet everything has an index

There is nothing actually tying the map marker and the actual data together except the fact that it sits right beneath it

So you can seperate the marker and the data, or take an indiviual lump that's reliant on other lumps near it and place it somewhere random

Wad files are not perfect but it does it's job

[brave hemlock]

It's easier to grasp than lots of independently placed files, at least in my opinion.. it's like an instruction set, here's the info about the maps, here are the maps, here's the music, here are the textures, here's the gui stuff, now that you have all that, you can place it all to make a mod

[safe steppe]

What I would've changed if I went back in time to doom's development id I would replace markers with folders whenever possible

So the order of the wad lumps is no longer of importance as long as it's in the correct folder

But I am kind of nitpicking

Wads do their job just fine at the end of the day

[brave hemlock]

i guess

MAPS/MAP01/LINEDEFS etc could work better

[safe steppe]

Yeah that's the idea

That would make it much more organized

[brave hemlock]

but for 93, it's very much alright

[safe steppe]

Honestly impressive how fast they programmed doom, many file formats for it and a map editor in such a short time

Also in the 90's where the tools they had were a lot more limited

[lusty dove]

is it just me or does woof feel like the most advanced source port to still feel like the original engine

[grand token]

It does seem that way so far.

[royal wave]

forgot to tell you, I've played it, and it's really fun to play, actually. but i feel like some effects last for too long. in gta there's generally a lot of idk things to do, area to cross, while doom is comparably cramped, so maybe a way to change the timings of the effects? anyways, I've enjoyed it a lot!

[lusty dove]

[haughty flower]

Guys

Is doom builder easy to learn?

[lusty dove]

yeah its not too bad

but understanding how to use the tool is one thing, being able to create something actually good in it is another

[grand token]

Yeah, learning mapping itself is much harder than learning to use Doom Builder.

[haughty flower]

Idk about the scripts tho

But i'll look into it

since i wanna try creating my own map

[grand token]

I'd leave scripting to much later and start out with a vanilla map.

[haughty flower]

Ye since i find a tutorial where the guy put the script in the final section

seems like its for functions and stuff, i'll look more into it

for now im going to begin it

[haughty flower]

Guys

I have a question: How can i test my own map in Doom 1?

I only have doom in my steam

[grand token]

Just get a source port and carry over the iwads from the Steam install.

[haughty flower]

So put those source port from the steam file or something?

I'll probably look on how to get source port

[runic breach]

source ports are piss easy to set up btw

go with crispy doom and/or dsda doom ig

i tend to default to crispy doom, and if it doesn't run in crispy doom i'll play it in dsda

[haughty flower]

So crispy doom is a way to go to test your own maps?

[grand token]

What source port are you targetting with your map? Vanilla Doom? Boom?

Because Boom maps won't run on Crispy Doom.

And since you mentioned scripting, the majority of source ports don't support scripting languages. (Boom maps use voodoo dolls and conveyor belts for 'scripting'.)

So you should pick the source port you're targetting (and the one you expect people to play your map on) for testing.

[haughty flower]

Hmmm 🤔

I'll try gzdoom even tho steam version uses dosbox

Or other ports as long as i can test my maps 💀

[grand token]

You're probably thinking of the GoG version. The current Steam version is Unity Doom.

[runic breach]

this

[runic breach]

okay so doom maps have features that don't run on every port

the most basic type is vanilla, which means it'll run on the original doom exe from the 90s

next is limit removing, which is basically just vanilla but without the limits the engine imposed for performance (i know that isn't entirely accurate, but it works)

and then there's boom, a port made by the guys who made TNT: Evilution that's been the basis for a lot of modern ports, it adds a bunch of extra features without being that drastic

if you want to do scripting with actual scripting languages, you'll probably have to use GZDoom
GZDoom also has features like rooms above rooms and slopes, basically allowing doom to be as 3D as quake

[haughty flower]

Hmmm

Damn its hard to choose

Not to mention im not that good at scripting

Wait is doom builder 2 good?

[haughty flower]

Alright i'll try to create a map in doom builder 2 by just doom ingredients

[storm charm]

STORM TROOPER FIST

[haughty flower]

If your wearing storm trooper fist it would cause the bullet spread of your weapon to be 100% with no accuracy

[storm charm]

I was thinkin of programing a bot with 0 accuracy to fight against as a joke

[haughty flower]

Hahaha

[brave hemlock]

you dont really need to worry about that if you just want to make a map

[haughty flower]

Ye, when i found some tutorials it felt like its just when wanting to level up your modding

Like lets say screen text

[icy compass]

eh nm going on just desided to squeeze as much quality as possible outta the game's graphics

no, no HD texture packs in that photo its all vanilla

well its as vanilla as brutul doom makes it lol

this is without brutul doom active

mixed opinions on this, the HUD looks sick but the pixel blurring makes it look weird

The whole idea is that it's a short map, like 60 enemies, but kinda gimmicky and hard

Especially the combat, it has a lot of fast paced ness for me where I enjoy comboing my punches and shots

Honestly you should make your own boomer shooter or something bc it's very sick

Finally got to anagnorisis in my first Eviternity playthrough

It’s very fun so far

Eviternity has excellent atmosphere

[novel sand]

Anagnorisis is one of my favourite maps of all time, absolutely fantastic

The length and the music combine to make such a bleak, depressing atmosphere

And exploring the map itself feels incredible

[hushed oasis]

I tried playing through Icarus: Alien Vanguard a while back and came to the conclusion that TeamTNT just sucked at mapping, because it felt as boring and confusing as Evilution

[grand token]

In their defence, that was considered a good mappack in 1996. I don't think it's that good either but there isn't much competition.

Same goes for Memento Mori.

Now that I think of it, Plutonia is an outlier in this regard.

[astral harbor]

Can I use GZdoom to mod DOOM II, but for the Microsoft store version

[grand token]

I don't see why not.

[astral harbor]

I can’t find the files

[solar brook]

You cant. Microsoft stores their games in an encrypted folder.

[astral harbor]

That’s a shame

[grand token]

Oh wow, that sucks.

[nimble sparrow]

How do I make custom music/text for my WAD? I use GZDB btw.

[whole blade]

Well that's not mapping. But do you mean how do you import existing custom assets? Or are you making them from scratch

Gzdb is old, but what map editor you use has nothing to do with things like music. However you should switch to Ultimate Doombuilder (unless you have an old computer)

What does matter is what format you are using so you'll need to tell me that

[nimble sparrow]

Oh shit, I am using UDB, sorry.

[whole blade]

Good c:

[nimble sparrow]

That and switches are becoming a problem. I have the switch linked to the door/sector, but it will not open (and yes, I checked my linedefs and their settings).

[whole blade]

That's way too vague to trouble shoot

Most common cause of a door action not working is an adjacent sector is too low

Doors open to 4mu below the lowest surrounding sector

what do you mean "it looks un-Doomlike"

not every custom map has to be techbase or Hell

i mean as if you showed it to me i wouldnt immediately recognize this as doom, maybe quake or something, because it just looks so great

sorry if this is the wrong channel but, what resolution does the sprite of doomguys face at the bottom have to be to be changed

if i wanted to change doomguys face, what is the resolution of the sprite

you can extract the exact graphics form the iwad it'self for reference via slade 3. btw the status bar face is called the mug

just highlight the graphic, rightclick on it and find the option that says "extract as png"

How do I make a teleport in Doom Classic? I am losing my mind, I can't make it function

Basically I have created this level where you start in a sort of pit, I wanted to make a teleport to go another room

[onyx scroll]

im not good at this so bear with me

I know for one you’d need a linedef with some tag, then a teleportation destination entity with the same tag as the line def(s)

[haughty flower]

Is gzdoom its own app or an extension of 1993

[runic breach]

GZDoom is its own thing

[haughty flower]

OK good

[runic breach]

you just need the .WAD files from doom

which contain the game assets and levels

you're just plugging the game's assets and data into a new engine, basically

[haughty flower]

I think I already have those downloaded from installing a copy into gmod

Let me see if I have the files

Yup

Is 64 wads needed?

[lost sand]

doom 64?

the best wad you can use is doom 2, thats what most mods use

[haughty flower]

Alright that's already downloaded then cool

[lost sand]

yea so you install gzdoom and put the wad next to the exe of gzdoom and launch gzdoom

then it may or may not ask you to show it the wad, you show it the wad and it will start

and then you can go online and find really cool doom mods that are usually in .pk3 format from what Ive noticed and you pick both the doom2 wad and the pk3 mod file and you press enter and you are playing a mod

if you wanna find cool doom mods I recommend icaruslives, he made alot of videos on doom mods

[haughty flower]

Alright thanks

can anyone help me? Im having issues with gzdoom, it always stays on top and memoirs of magic has really bad performance while regular stuff like doom 2 works fine, Im on Ryzen 7 3700X, RX 570 4GB and 16 GB DDR4 RAM so its definitely not a hardware issue

[hushed oasis]

honestly maybe that mod is just unoptimized

or there's some kind of graphics setting you'll need to tweak

[solar brook]

Try changing your renderer to something like VULKAN

[hushed oasis]

that too

[lost sand]

I couldn't find a setting inside memoirs of magic for it

[native summit]

Guys I made my first doom map

[haughty flower]

When I try to run the mods the textures are missing and some of the menu is missing

Ah nvm had to run it in vulkan

[haughty flower]

Does gzdoom work for mobile since the 2 games are on Google play

[fleet sonnet]

im making my first doom map

its a tech base

is there anything i should be weary of when making a tech base

[grand token]

I can think of two very common problems with first techbase maps:

1. Try to strike the right balance between using too little or too many textures. Otherwise you can end up with a drab and monotone look with too few textures (the STARTAN syndrome) or an eyesore with a salad of clashing textures if you aren't careful.
2. Avoid making the map too flat and try to incorporate verticality whenever it makes sense. If your map looks like a handful of flat and featureless rectangles connected by corridors, it's going to play like Wolfenstein 3D.

[fleet sonnet]

ok

[haughty flower]

Hey everybody, i'm making a map, and i have no idea for a room in terms of theme. It's a room where if you step in, hordes of hell knights, revenants, and hitscanners start to teleport in. I want the theme to be some kind of Plutonia 2 MAP20, but i don't want to copy it off. Does anybody have ideas?

[haughty flower]

you make it in GZDoom UDMF format?

[shut crane]

Yes

[shut crane]

I can give you some aesthetics ideas, in that I am fairly good, gameplay wise Idk

[brisk flax]

[haughty flower]

[upper bloom]

nice, what's it look like

[haughty flower]

Guys, not long ago i created my best map so far. It's in my custom megawad named CPR (Cyberdemons' Party Room). It's first map is the best map i made so far. 423 enemies, not a lot of ammo, 119 items, 5 secrets, and no plasma gun or bfg, and all the difficulty levels have the same quantity and type of monsters. Yeah, there's a rule in my wad: All maps must have at least 150 enemies. Only the first map is finished, i started map02 yesterday. If you want i release it tomorrow, but i don't recommend it for beginners. I'm just a decent player, too.

[haughty flower]

Can someone teach me how to make a doom mod?

[haughty flower]

You mean mods that modify the gameplay (modifies the mechanics etc.) or you mean mods that adds new 32 maps (wads)

?

Wads

Oh

Ye

Then essay time

Aight then

So

You need two programs: Slade 3 and one of the doom builders (i recommend ultimate doom builder). In the builder, set up the formats, choose one,, add the resources, and if you want to play it in other ports than zdoom based ports, set up a nodebuilder (whatever which), and set the testing program (prboom, gzdoom, zandronum, etc) and choose the skill level. Then start the map in that format. Create some kind of a map, than save it as a wad file, that will be map01. Then create a second map in that format, than write it to map02, and save it into the wad file after you created something, and you can do this as many times as you want. In slade 3, you can change anything in your wad or add something. Than create a mapinfo lump, and to what to write in it, look it up on google. This way it displays the map's name on the intermission screen on zdoom based ports. On other ports, you need to use dehacked to display it on the automap, if you want it only on the intermission, then use DOOM WRITER, write something, and name it as CWILV00 if you want to use it for map01, CWILV01 if to map02. So name it as CWILV, than type the number that is less with one than the map number.

now that took a while to write on phone lol

[shut crane]

Make Idk, some sort of Colosseum where demons spawn from. So a sort of Arena with demons

[haughty flower]

Oh, colosseum. Good idea. I have very good ideas to a colosseum

[dapper marsh]

can sombody help me with teleporters in doom builder?

i cant figure it out for the life of me

o

i think i got it

[haughty flower]

Make a linedef and set the special action to 97 (WR Teleport) and write a number in its tag. Then make a sector where you want the player to teleport in, tag it as the same number as the teleporting linedef, and than place a teleport destination into the sector.

[dapper marsh]

thank you i figured it out but its nice to have a text description instead of a crappy video to refer back too

im gonna copy and paste that for later use thanks

[haughty flower]

You're welcome

And keep in mind that what i wrote can be used in every format except for GZDoom UDMF. In that format, the numbers are attached to a completely different action.

@dapper marsh

I worked on a few maps, if you need some help send me a message. I'm not the best in terms of design, but i can create very good mechanics to the maps (how you progress in the level, what switch/linedef opens what etc.)

in my megawad, there are 2 maps yet, and map01 is done, i'm working on map02 right now

Guys how to make other skybox work?

[shut crane]

I am thinking about creating a map that utilizes all of Gzdoom features, like 3d floors, crouch and jumping

Do you think is it a good idea or no?

Because I am playing Blood (1997) and that game is basically Doom with those features and I am thinking about recreating an experience like that on Doom

[grand token]

I don't see why not, but I don't think it would be easy.

IIRC there's an existing GZDoom mod that replicates Duke Nukem 3D.

[shut crane]

I was thinking about easy things like

Platform sections etc.

I think the hard part would be 3D floors

[runic breach]

oop, no experience with 3D modeling, sorry

[shut crane]

I am making tests etc. Finally I am making swimmable water and 3D floor easily

I am gonna make a map inspired by Blood and Quake, nothing too special, but still something that utilizes all of GZdoom features

[shut crane]

How do I make a teleport? Ultimate Doom Builder

Because there are various and I can't figure out how to make a one, and the tutorials on youtube doesn't help that much because they use the old Doom Builder

Various teleport options like teleport in sector etc.

Finally I learnt how to make a teleporter

[haughty flower]

Guys, where can i find a lot of Stewboy, Jimmy Paddock, other music makers', and midi songs from other games? Because if i make a second wad i want to use different songs for every map, and i don't want to use just doom2,tnt, and heavy metal musics converted to midi.

[runic breach]

you can try transcribing midis yourself if you can't find a reliable source

[grand token]

Jimmy has a YouTube channel with a lot of music, including playlists of independent tracks that aren't used in wads. I know he shares the MIDI files but I'm not sure about the permission details.

[haughty flower]

and i think i will search midis from duke nukem and some other games

[haughty flower]

you use the music format which is in quake?

because i don't think quake uses midi

[shut crane]

I created this church. I am making a village map type, so I was thinking, do I make this a level ending or then make a teleport to the inside of the church and continue the level?

[shut crane]

No I use mp3 files directly

I tried and that's possible

[haughty flower]

then you need to play with a source port that supports non-midi music

[shut crane]

Oh, I only used GzDoom, that's why

[haughty flower]

i think boom also supports it

but older ports like chocolate or crispy doom, i don't think so

[shut crane]

I wanna know your opinion, please

[haughty flower]

if it's just an exit in the church, then make a teleporter which continues the level to a treasure room or smth

[shut crane]

Mhh, I could make a treasure room and the switch for ending the level

[haughty flower]

I'm some kind of American McGee and Drake O'Brien combination in map making

[fleet sonnet]

#screenshots

like that

[shut crane]

Are there any tips any of you can give to a mapper that is starting creating maps now?

[haughty flower]

don't use startan textures

do not create a series of square rooms

the map doesn't need to be flat

[haughty flower]

don't put anything next to a door

[fleet sonnet]

ohhhh

[haughty flower]

create it like that (the two green linedefs are the linedefs of the door sector)

[shut crane]

You mean base textures of when you start a map from scratch?

[haughty flower]

yeah

[shut crane]

I try to find matches of textures for each map o sector to make them as good looking as possible

[haughty flower]

i added a thousand custom textures to my wad

it took a while to load xd

[shut crane]

How can I create custom textures and how do I import textures from other wads?

[haughty flower]

i added custom textures from scythe 2 and speed of doom

so, you need to create to markers: PP_START and PP_END

[fleet sonnet]

how to fix the void gaps

[haughty flower]

?

[fleet sonnet]

theres two holes next tot he door

[haughty flower]

fill them with smth

[haughty flower]

these will be the wall textures, place wall textures between these markers

Then, if you want to add flats, create FF_START and FF_END then place floor/ceiling (flat) textures between these

[shut crane]

All of this in slade?

[haughty flower]

then select all of these textures, then right-click, graphics, and click on add to TextureX, in the pop-up click yes, then select "Import from base resource archive"

all of this in slade

[shut crane]

Thanks

I would like to use some textures from Heretic because I wanna create a gothic style map

[haughty flower]

I'm making a cave map in the moment

[shut crane]

Can I put every texture I want as long as they are the resolution needed for Doom? Like can I even use Quake textures?

[haughty flower]

oh i forgot something

select the textures, click graphics, then click "Convert to..." then select Doom GFX paletted, then click "Convert all"

then click add to TextureX

[haughty flower]

yeah, but you need to convert them as i said above

[haughty flower]

@shut crane #screenshots opinion?

[haughty flower]

done with the first half

[fleet sonnet]

some of the entities i spawned in wont spawn

nvm

[haughty flower]

what do you mean

[fleet sonnet]

i had them set to multiplayer

how do i get rid of the ! texture when there's nothing there for the texture to apply to

[haughty flower]

Try the front and back sidedefs, and try the upper and lower textures. Middle textures are for cages

add a texture to some of the sidedefs, and in the sidedef add a texture to the upper and lower textures

[fleet sonnet]

oh ok

[fleet sonnet]

its on the top side def

upper i mean

[haughty flower]

okay then add a texture to it

[fleet sonnet]

ok

i fixed it

[shut crane]

Guys I made another teleport

I made it, made all of the tags, I try to use it, it doesn't work

Here, I put different tags at both linedef and teleport destination

One has 14 as tag
Second 15 as tag

Now I don't understand why isn't it working, is like the first I made

[haughty flower]

did you put a teleport destination in the tagged sector?

that's the wrong kind of teleport destination

put the basic teleport destination in there

that's the UDMF exclusive Z height teleport destination

[shut crane]

I am using UMDF right now

[haughty flower]

yeah, that's why i said to put the basic teleport destination in there

not the UDMF exclusive Z and Y destinations

[shut crane]

I have to put basic teleport at both?

[haughty flower]

don't put a teleport to the teleporting linedef, put one in the sector where you arrive from the teleporting linedef

and put the basic one

if you don't understand i send a picture about what i mean

[shut crane]

Thanks

[haughty flower]

you want a picture?

[shut crane]

Yes, please

[haughty flower]

gimme a sec

@shut crane

oh btw in UDMF the special action is the number 70

[shut crane]

Ok thanks

[haughty flower]

which is teleport

then set to "when player walks over)

Special Action: 70, "when player walks over" in UDMF

[haughty flower]

you're welcome

[shut crane]

I love this community

[haughty flower]

i use Boom format but i have used UDMF so yeah

[shut crane]

I actually understood what went wrong with the portal

The linedef must face where the player have to interact, if that little line isn't faced on front basically even if I put the USE input it won't work

What do you think about this level layout?

[haughty flower]

yeah, so outward

[haughty flower]

it's good for an open-space arena fighting level

i will continue making my second half of my wad's map 02 (cave map) now

[shut crane]

That's what I made, it hasn't got any key hunting. I like more the combat part in a map more than the key/switch hunting. I put a lot of demons, tried to balance the fight etc.

I think for a map 01 this is acceptable, I will give you the wad once I finish map 02 and 03 (the last level of this wad)

[haughty flower]

in my wad there will be a total of 30 levels (27 normal, 3 secret)

[shut crane]

Cool

[haughty flower]

can i send you a friend request?

[shut crane]

Yes

[haughty flower]

sent

can you accept it?

[shut crane]

How do I give a map a name?

I don't mean a name to a wad, I mean, a name to a single map in a wad

[haughty flower]

on the intermission or on the automap?

[shut crane]

Both

[shut crane]

Guys how do I import Heretic textures on Doom?

[grand token]

Rip them from the Heretic iwad and include them in your pwad.

[shut crane]

Eh?

[grand token]

Well, I don't think there's another method.

[shut crane]

I don't understand how to do it

[grand token]

Open HERETIC.WAD and extract what you need into your wad.

[shut crane]

I have to do this in slade?

[grand token]

Yes, or any wad editor of your choice.

[whole blade]

there are already texture packs with them extracted

[shut crane]

I have this problem, now it's like this, but when I go into the testing of the map

It shows the texture.

How do I fix this problem?

Some texture are normal and some gives me this visual problem

[shut crane]

I resolved it

I had to put at both Doom 2 wad and the wad with custom textures the load only p_start and p_end

When I load normally the level without the wad with custom textures I don't get the texture

[runic breach]

what are some examples of creative enemy placement

[grand token]

Archviles behind mancubi as bullet sponge meat shields. The archvile can revive the mancubi almost as fast as you can kill them, you'll have to dodge fireballs and the demon magic zap at the same time, the fat mancubus hitboxes + low movement speed prevent the archvile from moving past them to come closer to you.

If you put a monster-blocking linedef in front of them, you'll be outright preventing the player from luring the mancubi away to let the archvile move past them to get them to infight. (The mancubi always win.)

This one's a bit of a cliché but you can teleport in a baron of hell at the only exit of a room the moment you trigger a trap, forcing the player to choose between killing the baron to run away or using that precious time to make space in the room/find a strategic position and gather pickups as other monsters pour in.

Another cliché is siccing spectres at the player the moment they pick up a rocket launcher in a narrow room. Even better if the player only has weak weapons and there's a threat in the same room that calls for a rocket launcher.

(The solution is taking advantage of the fact that you can quickly switch weapons if you're picking one up, so you can swiftly switch to berserk instead of autoswitching to the rocket launcher.)

[runic breach]

thanks :D

[grand token]

No problem!

[runic breach]

can you change music upon entering a different area

[haughty flower]

yeah

but you need a musinfo lump for it

and some kind of trigger linedef on the map

Valiant map27 & 30 does this, so look at those maps in the builder in MBF format, then you can do it

[runic breach]

thanks a lot

[haughty flower]

you can open valiant in Slade then open the MUSINFO marker

[runic breach]

yup, got it

[haughty flower]

then look at map27 or map30 in a doom builder, you will see somekind of music triggerer linedef

[runic breach]

gonna try it later when i get on my PC

[shut crane]

Opinion about this light effects I am making?

[valid heron]

pretty good

though due it it being taken from phone it looks a little off

[hollow fulcrum]

best current software for making doom 2 maps? I'm using Doom Builder right now, but apparently there are a few others

[haughty flower]

Ultimate Doom Builder is the best

[hollow fulcrum]

i downloaded it, still getting a bunch of errors when i point it at gzdoom.pk3 and brutal

think i figured it out

[shut crane]

Can I make a texture transparent for making a window?

[haughty flower]

mark its linedefs and in actions, set it to transparent

[shut crane]

Making maps in Doom is making me realize that the less I have for create something the more I become more creative

Like og Minecraft, you hadn't too many blocks and the limitations made it more creative

[shut crane]

Can I put on-screen messages like in Quake, Blood or Duke Nukem?

With Ultimate Doom Builder

[whole blade]

only in certain formats (anything that supports scripting)

[shut crane]

Building a city level

[south lynx]

whuh this mean

[haughty flower]

just click restart, it will open it then

[shut crane]

Is it possible to make floating words like these in a Doom Map? This is from Blood, I was wondering if I can make something similar in Doom

[grand token]

Sure, put the letters on a texture and leave the background transparent (like fences).

[south lynx]

i've already done that

it wont work

[onyx scroll]

how do I extract textures for things like weapons in Slade? I want to maybe edit them to custom weapon sprites if I have the skill for it

[storm charm]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-mortal-kombat-doom/downloads/ultimate-mortal-kombat-doom-z-v13/#8527347

[tribal prawn]

How do I fix this Error? I placed HB41K V1.6 in my Slade Folder which is in D: and I still can't access it. Can anyone help?

[tribal prawn]

Open them in slade, right click the sprite then press export

[onyx scroll]

question is how to open them, if I remember correctly there is nothing there when I open with the exception of what I import (fogged memory moment)

[tribal prawn]

If it's a .lmp file then right click, click graphics then click convert to. After that, click convert to .png

[onyx scroll]

ignore this, I’m a fucking confirmed idiot

[tribal prawn]

ok

[onyx scroll]

So I imported a texture into slade (following a tutorial, of course) but in game it appears as nothing is there and I got no clue why. Tried checking for weapon texture sizes and literally nothing popped up

[onyx scroll]

I might have figured it out, hol up

nvm, still refusing to work

starting to think I need to learn decorate just for a damn texture swap damnit

[tribal prawn]

No no, give me a screenshot

It might be because you forgot about one important thing about sprites: Offsets

Fig 1 is the horizontal offset, fig 2 is the vertical offset. Note that you can just click and drag the image to where you want it to be on the screen. (The thing that says auto right next to the vertical offset is something that is used so that you can determine where the sprite is supposed to be depending on what it's for. For example, if you set it to auto then it will try to detect where you offset the sprite about some sprites, If it determines that it is a w2eapons sprite then it will display the corresponding sprite grid behind the sprite. If it determines it's a monster/player sprite it will add the correct sprite grid behind it. You can also manually switch the sprite grid by clicking it and then selecting which sprite grid you want, may it be HUD (weapon Sprite Grid), Graphic (Texture Sprite grid/No grid), and Sprite (Monster/Player sprite).

[onyx scroll]

found a solution

forgor the SS markers

got it working in the end

so yea, Fista Cuffs is now a reality

yea, the mod is literally just an improvement for the fists

[onyx scroll]

this is actually what I thought was the problem originally. But of course it was that ONE thing not covered in any tutorial except some random tutorial on Gamebanna that was actually the issue.

[onyx scroll]

sorry that I kind of wasted your time

[tribal prawn]

its ok

[onyx scroll]

If you have the PNG of that gun specifically, care to share it? I have an idea for it

[fallen panther]

Forgot how much fun high noon drifter is nice to have a simpler gameplay mod for once
The extra buttons on screen are because i don't have an extra set of buttons to map on my controller with my dpad becoming the movement controls
Mostly due to my left stick not being reliable anymore i plan on replacing if but until then i have mapping setups designed so I don't have to use it

I've also got it set up with Nash gore and an add on plug in to it that makes the gibs really chunky

@charred haven

The map is legacy of heroes

Fucking hell does this map set love its chain gunners

They usually come in pairs

Where do I find midi music for Doom maps? I want to put something catchy as music but I don't know where to search it

And vanilla level 01 doom 2 music gets boring easily

[grand token]

You can try the music replacement community projects.

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/.MID_the_Way_id_Did#See_also

[haughty flower]

Search for wads, open them up in SLADE, then copy paste the midi into a folder, then put it into your wad and name the song as how the doom 2 songs are named

[grand token]

Oh you meant for adding into the wad itself. There are prolific Doom MIDI artists like Stuart Rynn and James Paddock whose oeuvres are available online.

[shut crane]

Ok thanks

If I wanted to use midi versions of music I like and I can't find them on the internet is there like a music converter? Like if I want to take a piece of music from Quake and make it midi, is there any software for convert it?

[grand token]

If it's a similar musical representation format (like MOD), you can probably find a converter. But actual digital audio cannot be converted back to MIDI.

(There are experimental projects that try to guess the instruments, pitches, channels etc in an audio recording and produce a vaguely similar MIDI file but they're unreliable.)

[shut crane]

Ok, so a midi audio is with .mid right? Well I put a midi music on Slade but I can't hear it neither in Slade nor in-game (in-game it actually starts with no-sound)

[grand token]

Yeah, it's .mid. Does it play correctly with an external player?

[shut crane]

I didn't try

[grand token]

That might be a good first step.

[shut crane]

Ok no I had an error with audio and had to reboot the PC, I think now it'll work

[haughty flower]

where can i download stewboy's midis? Jimmy has a website but i didn't find stewboy midis

[whole blade]

HUD message. Only doable in ports that support ACS

[shut crane]

So like GzDoom?

[whole blade]

Yes gzdoom supports acs

All zdoom derived ports do

[heavy sluice]

the first room for my first wad, feedback would be greatly appreciated (especially on balancing and stuff)

There was meant to be a teleporter to the rocket launcher but I couldn’t get it to work lol

[shut crane]

Some textures aren't well placed and others just doesn't feel very good to use on certain surfaces

[haughty flower]

pretty good for a first room of your first wad, just make sure you don't use ugly textures for very long time, or if you do, combine it with other texturs sometimes

[shut crane]

How can I make rain effects like in this Doom Total Conversion?

[keen valley]

Hi, for people who put in custom midis to their WADs, how do I make it so that the midi or MP3 can perfectly loop, because I've tried everything that I thought of, and there's still always a gap between the end and the start

notice the gap between the midi

[grand token]

There's certainly a better way to do it in GZDoom but Jumpwad accomplishes it in a near-vanilla way with some dehacked shenanigans:

The snow effect is created by invisible ceiling-spawning custom enemies (replacing the zombieman) that fire near zero-velocity projectiles that are affected by gravity, and as a result, rain from the ceiling to the ground.

Amusingly, it implements jumping like this:

The jump mechanic is created by replacing the pistol with an infinite ammo weapon that fires a zero-velocity projectile which in turn immediately calls A_VileAttack. Since the projectile at this moment shares its position with the player, the resulting blast launches the player upwards and deals damage, just like during a regular arch-vile attack. To mask the received damage, the status bar is blanked out and the pain palette graphics are deactivated, while the player is given an extremely high amount of health (2³¹=2147483648), rendering them effectively invulnerable.

[shut crane]

How I do it in Gzdoom?

[grand token]

No idea. Have you tried asking in the GZDoom Discord?

[keen valley]

There's a GZ Doom Discord?!

[shut crane]

I didn't know

[grand token]

Yeah, they're very helpful to beginners.

I'm probably not allowed to link it directly but you can just google 'gzdoom discord server'.

[haughty flower]

Make sure there is no silence in the midi, or at least at the end.

[keen valley]

I mean, it ends on a bar. it doesnt go over, so it DOES end

[haughty flower]

Oh, you are making a midi in FL Studio

then idunno

I still stand to my point

[keen valley]

im still gonna play around and see if I can get it to loop right

[karmic egret]

im so confused on how to make a custom hud for doom where do I start with "coding" it

[grand token]

As in just an aesthetic difference? If so, you can just edit the image lump.

For a functional difference, it depends on the port you're aiming.

[haughty flower]

I'll take the valiant status bar and letters, and turn it to blue, and use it for the wad that will be the third entry in CPR: CPR X: Stuck In Space. As you see, it will be a space themed wad

[haughty flower]

is there any way to optimize gzdoom mods

i can get over 300 fps on vanilla and even small mods can take me down to barely a consistent 60

yoo :D

gonna try it out later today

Doin a DM set or smthn

[neon bronze]

im trying to start mapping but when iIrealise I made somthing shit instead of keep going with that map I give up and start again so I haven't completed anything

its really pissing me off

[runic breach]

finish the map first, shit or not

[tulip sorrel]

You guys played Selaco on Steam? it's a Gzdoom game, just a demo atm but really great.

[runic breach]

gonna try it out

[crystal perch]

It's done! https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/135248-lakeside-an-egyptian-themed-map/

[upbeat path]

wow! that looks incredible

just a quick tip for you - since this is in fact compat with ZDoom source ports, maybe just make sure to put a small MAPINFO lump that will disable jump/crouch

[neon bronze]

Almost done with my first doom map so thats cool

[neon bronze]

this is the worst map ever

but its mine

anyone wanna try it to give feed back?

[fleet sonnet]

where should i share my first map

should i upload it to a website or are you allowed to just send the wad

[fleet sonnet]

a little bit of constructive criticism
make sure to include a couple of health pickups of any size here and there just in case

the third room with the chaingunners in one little thingy broke for me and the walls most likely have a door function
you can use arrow keys while selecting a linedef in view mode to move the texture around the surface to allign them better if you want

i got to the last room and the blood lake flowing with the impaled soldier is actually a pretty cool setpiece for the end of a level

[fleet sonnet]

do these stacking textures look ugly

[haughty flower]

hi, im looking foward to making a custom doom wad for my friends, whats the best doom map builder for newbies like me?

[haughty flower]

Give Ultimate Doom Builder a go. Loads of video tutorials on YouTube for it.

[fleet sonnet]

are we allowed to send wads directly here or do we have to upload them

[haughty flower]

i'll try

[haughty flower]

ultimate doom builder

[haughty flower]

They look ugly if you use them for too long/ too much

[neon bronze]

Ah ok

I will see why that happens then

[neon steppe]

looks really good

[fleet sonnet]

thanks

[shut crane]

It looks good actually

[fleet sonnet]

tahnk you i wasnt sure if it would be ugly or not because its a looping texture and wanted to make sure it looked good

[shut crane]

I wonder if that painting is inspired by a real painting or smth

[fleet sonnet]

i think it probably is

[lusty dove]

i made an NES Chiptune cover of the midi from E5M1

[grand token]

Sounds great!

[lusty dove]

thx! i plan to do at least some of the other sigil songs

i think e5m4 will be really good so maybe il do that one next

As a starting map builder, what should I use for map building
from:
DoombuilderX to UltimateDoomBuilder

[runic breach]

awesome

[grand token]

UDB seems to be the go-to map editor in the community.

[fleet sonnet]

im just using doom bulder

probably doom builder 2

[haughty flower]

for setting up how do I get doom textures for it

nvm I think I got it

[haughty flower]

Udb

[neon steppe]

yep

[fleet sonnet]

it just says doom builder

[twilit osprey]

Hey so I’m setting up wads with gzdoom and when i put the wads into gzdoom nothing happens

Specifically, my house doesn’t show up in the startup for gzdoom

[haughty flower]

Drag myhouse.wad onto the GZDoom.exe, and it will launch it. Alternatives are to use a launcher like ZDL, Doom Runner, or Doom Launcher.

[twilit osprey]

I’ve dragged the wad and the pk3 into gzdoom executable

[twilit osprey]

Okay hold on

I had to get something entirely different, I got it

[haughty flower]

Myhouse.wad isn't an IWAD so it won't show up on the list. That list is only for IWAD selection.

[runic breach]

final goes in #classic-doom

since it's an official game and not a mod

[neon steppe]

heres the link for the download: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=66745

just click on that if you have a 64-bit pc if not then click the 32-bit one

[lusty dove]

Or you can just launch through command line

[haughty flower]

That works as well, but when you start to collect more wads, and mods it makes swapping out what you want to load tedious over time. Where as with a launcher like Doom Runner it makes things a faster process, and easier to organize everything into a proper load order. More so if you wish to add mods into the equation. As you can see from these examples.

[fleet sonnet]

oh ok

i’m still gonna use doom builder 2 until i finish my small map set lol

[neon steppe]

alr

[fleet sonnet]

but it locked me out of doom world when i tried to make an account somehow so i can’t upload my map thing there

[neon steppe]

oh

[runic agate]

anyone knows how to run this custom map?

Drag and drop it on the GZDoom executable.

[worthy sparrow]

Idk how to describe it but i accidentally pressed on a option in gzdoom, i forgot which one exactly but now I can't boot gzdoom, it just ends up showing a blank screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it still isn't working. does anyone have any clue what is going on???

[haughty flower]

You have to delete the settings ini file located at C:\Users[user name]\Documents\My Games\GZDoom

[worthy sparrow]

ini?

also how do i do that exactly i'm kinda new to this whole thing

i downloaded it on a mac if that helps atall

[grand token]

I'm guessing it's ~/Library/Preferences/gzdoom.ini then.

[next tundra]

Is it possible to change a weapon list in such a way that you start off with no weapons whatsoever?

[worthy sparrow]

and then where do I go to edit that out

[grand token]

Whichever setting you changed on accident.

[worthy sparrow]

i changed it inside the game menus

i can't get into the game

[grand token]

I mean, if you don't know what setting to fix, the logical choice would be to return to the default settings by deleting the config file.

[worthy sparrow]

where do i find such a file

i'm completely new to this

[grand token]

Is it not on the path I mentioned above?

Oh I see the point of miscommunication now.

Go to 'Library' in your home directory, then 'Preferences', then delete the file named 'gzdoom.ini'.

[worthy sparrow]

ok hol up
