[real sigil]

It’s me. Back with another dumb question

Is there any way to make all selected sidedefs one texture instead of, well, this?

[solar brook]

CTRL + Click was it? That should at least highlight/select all with the same current texture

[real sigil]

Trying to make the wall all one sky instead of many repeating skies, if that’s possible

[teal wyvern]

you mean tiling? press f with all of them highligted

[real sigil]

I’m dum. F is the “move right” key in 3d viewer. Ctrl f doesn’t do anything either

[knotty fable]

For skies do F_sky or whatever it’s called, not the individual sky texture

[real sigil]

Does the same thing. Maybe I’m using the wrong pop up editor box. I’ll try again searching it up, see if anything pops up this time

Well, for the ceiling it works

[knotty fable]

There’s also like a scale option in the properties, might help?

[real sigil]

I guess it doesn’t work for the wall

I tried that, but each got smaller instead. This time I tried decimals under 1 instead of larger numbers (dumass I am). I will see if this works

[real sigil]

Really ugly looking. But it will do for now until I start putting in my custom textures

[knotty fable]

Yeah I think sky was really only meant for ceillings

[neon steppe]

no

the creators already did it on walls in map01

[timid flume]

New Walpurgis video with the excellent Lost Magic set by Vortale.
https://youtu.be/zYLaRs6EKbg

[knotty fable]

I figured it out
So turn the walls into like a sector (it can be as small as you want)
Make the ceilling F_sky1 of the sector (not the walls)
Make the ceilling height 0
It should work now

Apparently, if your ceilling is F_sky1, it automatically changes the walls to be like that aswell (I’m assuming it might be if they have no texture?)
You could also try just doing that to the main sector instead of the walls, which would probably work better

[real sigil]

The effect I’m going for is to eventually replace all the walls with a seamless forest texture, which I’ll have to make myself. But I can still use the above method until then

[knotty fable]

should I just use gzdoom to test vanilla-compatible maps?
Or should I get something like crispy doom

[knotty fable]

god

[latent plank]

is there a mod that makes you able to look up & down in doom 1/2?

[haughty crater]

you can enable that in most source ports

[timid flume]

You can also just use mouselook in modern ports, with the understanding that it makes classic levels easier in a few ways.

holy shit

[ivory fulcrum]

Yo guys i've got a question

I'm kind of a begineer in the doom modding community and stuff, so I just want some basic level ideas that aren't that complex (I still don't know how to make a door )\

[knotty fable]

https://youtu.be/syIDpalKzeQ

[knotty fable]

Also for levels ideas
I’d say you try and start with really simple rooms, like maybe just a room with a door, then slowly make them more complex in any way you wish (I’d go for things you’re not really quite sure what to do)
Don’t be afraid to look up tutorials, most of the time they’ll prove extremely helpful

[wraith coral]

Me and my cousin are making a game called invasion 1999 with Doom 1 a full conversion

So if you want look out for it

[proper moon]

Hey, I dont really know where to turn to ask since Reddit Doom is in a blackout state atm. This is my second time trying to create and account with doomworld.com and I still am not receiving a link to confirm my account. Last time I tried and waited, waited, waited and waited but never received any sort of verification email and that was like 2 weeks ago (and yes I clicked resend multiple times). Thinking that it might be a website issue, I waited until now to try again and still am not receiving any confirmation emails. Its frustrating and I dont understand why it is this difficult. Can anyone provide some insight as to what I can do?

I have also checked my spam numerous times.

[grand token]

I also struggled with that a lot and eventually gave up and authenticated with Discord. I assume it happens when you use an e-mail provider that isn't one of the major three of Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.

[shut crane]

How do I make that a switch opens a door?

[knotty fable]

put the line special on the switch, set the sector tag to the door sector

[pearl glen]

hey can someone teach me how to make a custom weapon

[shut crane]

Thanks

[proper moon]

yea idk, I have a gmail account and I have tried like 4 times now to no avail.

Some tips on how to make a good level?

[lusty dove]

You mean how to make it look good or how to make it fun to play

[shut crane]

Fun to play

[lusty dove]

nirvana has some good videos on this, actually he also has one on making maps look good

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-FGkCxi3A7PbZH11gCfVZR-__eLYIM4Z

check out this playlist. the one on encounter design is good for the gameplay side of things

[kindred grotto]

Can someone play this wad I need to know if I need to make it harder

https://www.moddb.com/downloads/bo2ztown

[karmic fog]

woah

[sturdy zephyr]

Bo2 was a cool game mainly zombies

[solar mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoP4AdXDNis

[kindred grotto]

That’s what inspired me to do it

[sturdy zephyr]

Cool

[pliant plume]

Will it ever be possible to play lilith.pk3 on GZDoom? I don't have SLADE to open it up so I don't know if a script locks you out or what.

[knotty fable]

Yeah there kinda is you need zdoom

[pliant plume]

I'm aware, I just want to know if it's possible to stop the game from teleporting you to map33 if you are not using ZDoom.

[knotty fable]

Even if it has, all the bugs will be fixed so like

[pliant plume]

Exactly, I just kinda wanna see what it'd be like.

[kindred grotto]

Are the bugs the point of the WAD

[knotty fable]

Yup

[slender pivot]

how do you make a map?

[solar brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4-5d10dCyQ

[sturdy zephyr]

https://youtu.be/7nl8bgQGyPA not mine but I guess here’s a map mod for doom 2 (D64 for D2)

[slender pivot]

dang doom mapping is cool

[lusty dove]

It is

[haughty flower]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7E4rx1Nr3U

anyone want to make a 3D platformer?

[runic breach]

golden souls

[haughty flower]

yeah...that.

[restive hornet]

Going down was my favourite Doom wad, map28 had my death count up to 28

Thought I was never gonna beat it to be honest

[analog patrol]

[ornate sundial]

uhh quick question, any way to fix the textures streching when i look up/down?

nvm found it in the render settings

[knotty fable]

Jesus that’s almost disturbing

[runic breach]

that's an average slaughter map

[knotty fable]

God

[runic breach]

i remember getting really disturbed by the baron of hell death sound when i first killed it

now it's just asmr

[brisk plank]

I think the closest I played to slaughtermaps and yeah this is moreso a Doom mod, is Space Cats Saga

You do get some kickass weapons to do stuff but I gotta admit sometimes having tons of enemies tends to sometimes humble me

[tough pine]

I need a mod That could teleport coop players to my area Or an ability to create a teleporter upon death.
For maps with no coop support.

Turning sv_cheats on for noclip is lame

[finite silo]

can i use ultimate doom builder on doom 1

[runic breach]

yes

[finite silo]

it only lists doom 2 though

[lusty dove]

You need to go into the game configurations menu and check the box for doom 1 for whatever port you are using

[runic breach]

press f6 to do what enator18 said

[cunning coral]

https://youtu.be/UolIUtNBsGU

[finite silo]

there is no gzdoom option for doom 1 just heretic, strife, hexen, and doom 2

this is the only thing that i think i can use

[lusty dove]

the reason for that is that doom 2 has literally everything that doom 1 has and more

what is the reason you want to use doom 1

[finite silo]

i dont have doom 2 atm

im planning to get it this week or next week but for now i wanna use doom 1

[lusty dove]

ahh i see

yeah thats unfortunate

you could probably get away with using the doom 2 format with the doom 1 wad

[finite silo]

wait what

[lusty dove]

you might get some errors in the editor but as long as you dont use any objects that were added in doom 2 you should be fine

doom 2 has the exact same format as doom 1, there is just more stuff

[finite silo]

oh cool

[finite silo]

im using it on doom 2 with doom 1 resources but when i try to edit the texture of a surface theres no available texture to put it on

yk what ill just wait until i get doom 2 before i start making maps

[teal wyvern]

does anyone know how to do a 3d skybox in UDMF format?

[haughty flower]

idk

im making an doom 2 udmf edition

lol

[finite silo]

can i do this in udb and still play it in gz doom 1

[teal wyvern]

yes

[finite silo]

pog

[grand token]

Doom: Doom (Doom)

[lusty dove]

It is
Engine: doom
Game: doom
Map format: doom

[analog patrol]

Can someone who has made a doom cosplay with cardboard tell me how I make the classic helmet?

[mighty plaza]

Anyone know any good mods?

[teal wyvern]

doom zero, 95 never dies, unfamiliar ultimate edition

[mighty plaza]

If I add doom zero, will it replace hell on earth, or add a new one

[teal wyvern]

whole new doom, replaces everything

[mighty plaza]

Goodies

e-

Wait so, I open doom 2. Does it make the whole game into doom zero, or a new option beside hell on earth and master levels?

[teal wyvern]

whole game is doom zero now

[mighty plaza]

Alr

Yo, I am having a few issues with installing GZDoom. Tutorials are a bit confusing atm- I just made a folder with the GZDoom on my pc with files in. What now

[teal wyvern]

put your doom and doom 2 wads in the folder where your gzdoom.exe is

[mighty plaza]

Whats the wads part exactly

[teal wyvern]

the games themselves basically

[mighty plaza]

so basically I just take everything into the gzdoom folder?

[teal wyvern]

yeah pretty much

[mighty plaza]

Like everything?

[teal wyvern]

the doom wads yeah

[mighty plaza]

Done

[teal wyvern]

you need doom.wad or doom2.wad to play pretty much any mod, so place those two in the folder

[mighty plaza]

They are in the gzdoom folder yes

[teal wyvern]

now when you open the exe you'll see a prompt to what wad you want to boot with

[mighty plaza]

It says it cannot find the doom wad

doom wad is just all doom 2 files, correct?

[teal wyvern]

doom 1

[mighty plaza]

I do not have doom 1

[teal wyvern]

doom 2's files are doom2.wad

[mighty plaza]

Then what am I missing

[teal wyvern]

i don't know what you have

[mighty plaza]

All doom 2 files+folders are put inside of the manually made folder with the extracted gzdoom stuff

Nvm works now.

Damn, gzdoom is a whole nother game

[teal wyvern]

it's a whole different engine basically

[mighty plaza]

I can tell

One thing though, is there a way to make steam count the hours on this version?

[teal wyvern]

i don't know, probably not

you can enable a timer on the hud though, it keeps track of your current session

[mighty plaza]

Nvm! It does count it

[teal wyvern]

i didn't know that was possible, damn i must have like 200 hours on doom then

[mighty plaza]

aaaand it dident.

neat.

There is a tutorial, but its 8 min-

[teal wyvern]

tutorial for what?

[mighty plaza]

Counting hours on steam with gzdoom. Aka also letting me share screenshots and more

Id guess gzdoom and doom2 becoming the same thing in steam's eyes

[teal wyvern]

i can post images fine

[mighty plaza]

On steam. Oh and I am mostly just looking for counting time inside the game

[teal wyvern]

i thought steam allowed you to save screenshots from non steam apps

[mighty plaza]

Mane I just want to count hours ong

[teal wyvern]

maybe there's a mod for that somewhere

[mighty plaza]

Not what I can find sadly

[brisk plank]

Playing PRCP with High Noon Drifter

Plutonia like maps may kick my ass but I still always find them very fun for the combat pieces

Playing Western themed metal really enhances the experience too

[mighty plaza]

@teal wyvern Got it working!!

Rather easy when you get the hang of it actually-

[teal wyvern]

the time keeping thing?

[mighty plaza]

Yea

[teal wyvern]

nice

[knotty fable]

Can’t you just add gzdoom as a non-steam game

[runic breach]

icarusliv3s on youtube

[real sigil]

Hi, it’s me, very stupid, and I’m back with a question. I’ve watched and read a lot of teleporter tutorials and it still doesn’t work 💀. So uh, how to teleporter? Preferably a silent transition (illusion that player is still in the same room). And is there anything I should watch out for that may inhibit an otherwise correct teleporter, such as ceiling heights or specific ways the trip wires should be placed?

[knotty fable]

Uh
I think you just have to be in hexen or udmf format
Get a silent teleport
Put another one on the destination room
Set up tags and whatnot
Give the surrounding linedefs a teleport special (put the tags there too)
Should work

[real sigil]

Yep, I’m in udmf and did the above. The most possible line where I see I could’ve made the error is “give the surrounding linedefs a teleport special” because the area is a weird one at the top of a staircase. But then again, I tested it again in an open area and it didn’t work (linked up to the destination when hovering over but not working in the test game)

(It’s not assembled right now because i decided it was a mess)

[knotty fable]

Uh
Are the linedefs flipped to where the player would walk on them?
Also uh just put it right where you want the player to teleport

[real sigil]

They were

The photo isn’t of what I did. I didn’t save my work. So’s just a shot of what the area’s shape is

[knotty fable]

Oh
Huh
I wonder what happened

[teal wyvern]

select the destination line and give it a tag number

then select the line from where you want to teleport and make it use function 215 "Teleport to Line"

make it's activation "When player walks over" and if you want the player to be able to use it more than once also check the "Repetable action" box

[real sigil]

Still one of the things I tried. I don’t know. It was late, so maybe I just wasn’t paying attention every try (not unheard of from me). Will try again when it’s not midnight

[teal wyvern]

👍

[finite silo]

how do i add gzdoom to doom 2

[teal wyvern]

is there a way to add a healing function to a floor?

nvm i figured it out

[real sigil]

Yep I was just super tired

[keen valley]

working on a new doom midi, thoughts so far?

[north edge]

One time i tried to build a remake of knee deep in the dead but hell styled

[real sigil]

https://youtu.be/M3Txosrl3l8
Tomorrow I have to clean up the remaining placeholder textures and start inserting polyobjects, big ones including the roof and making the stairs less ugly (the ceiling and the rail)
But yeah, my first map cause it’s easier to start with something I can model from life

The NPCs are only there for me to get height references when building

There’s also all the sloped ceilings on the second floor I have to do because our house is weird. Really should write a to do list

[teal wyvern]

damn your house is huge

[real sigil]

I actually made it a bit smaller cause I didn’t wanna deal with too much space. But not that much smaller

The all-wood room is my room, the one in the thumbnail

[teal wyvern]

do you want to see what i've been doing these past few days?

this is the starting area

this is kind of like a soul processing factory

outside there's this bridge leading to another building where you're supposed to get a red skull key

said building has two floors connected with a sort of ladder, you have to jump out one of the windows to get the key

[real sigil]

Nice atmosphere

[real sigil]

After I’m done messing with my current wad I’m going to do a much smaller project, just an extra level for doom 1. Its theme will be an underground lab with experiments on both demon and human souls

[teal wyvern]

that sounds neat

[real sigil]

Want to try telling a story of the UAC’s questionable experiments and fill in the gap of how Deimos ended up in hell. The challenge will be telling a story implied through a map and not resorting to text

[teal wyvern]

i want to figure out what kind of cool or interesting gameplay mechanics i can come up with

so far i have the healing pools from half life figured out

[real sigil]

Same but I need to get more comfortable with scripting first

I’m mainly a python programmer, somewhat familiar with c, but not there yet

[teal wyvern]

you don't use c to script for doom

[real sigil]

In udb, the scripts you can insert, someone told me so. Maybe they told wrong

I haven’t touched them myself yet

[teal wyvern]

as far as i know it's not like a proper programming language

but i know 0 about programming so maybe i am wrong

[real sigil]

I think I know what you’re talking about

It’s not c but a proprietary version for udb

I don’t have a name for it.

[teal wyvern]

acs or zscript

[real sigil]

Yes, that’s it

[teal wyvern]

there was also decorate

[real sigil]

Before doom, I messed around in roblox studio. It’s kind of like that there too, where it’s not Lua but Luau, a proprietary version for roblox

[teal wyvern]

i don't think i ever played roblox

[real sigil]

I lost interest years ago

But I moved to strictly studio cause I wanted to create but didn’t know where else to go. Then it quit running on my potato laptop and I moved to doom

[teal wyvern]

doom is friendly to all potato users

[real sigil]

Also I find myself getting a hang of things a lot faster. Of course blocky maps are a lot faster than roblox maps (spent hours just to make a small cave while I made an entire house in a little over that time).

Given, the cave does look leagues more realistic, but like my own computer can run it anymore

[daring robin]

[teal wyvern]

evil cowmen

that's actually very original

[finite silo]

how fix

[solar brook]

Download the 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit

[finite silo]

of UDB?

[solar brook]

or where does this error pop up?

[finite silo]

when i test my map

[solar brook]

something with the sourceport that you use for testing isnt configured right then

[finite silo]

i use steam doom 2

[solar brook]

Use GZDOOM

dunno if the unity port even allows for custom wads

[finite silo]

oh wait i think its because i picked gzdoom: doom 2 (doom format) and not gzdoom: doom 2 (UDMF format)

[solar brook]

[finite silo]

there i fixed it

[finite silo]

how to fix enemies not appearing

nevermind fixed it

why do my enemies only start attacking when hit even though they see me

[real sigil]

Check their behavior check boxes

[finite silo]

the door wont open

nvm it works now

[finite silo]

why do my stairs build backwards

[finite silo]

are there any cool temple related maps to play

preferably desert themed

[grand token]

Like Egyptian themed maps?

Misri Halek from Alien Vendetta is an all-time classic in that class.

Scythe 2 has an entire episode dedicated to Egyptian maps.

i loaded in scythe 2 into gzdoom 2 (doom format) and uh

every entity is also like this

[grand token]

Do you have the correct iwad loaded?

[finite silo]

no im kinda new at doom maps and stuff so i dont get alot of stuff

[whole blade]

you need to load doom2.wad as a resource as well

[finite silo]

oh i used gzdoom.pk3 lmao

[real sigil]

There should be a dedicated help channel for thecringefactor because I ask so many stupid things 💀

Alrighty. So today, my garage door didn’t open anymore because its sector was divided in the process of building a roof (the two new door sectors formed had equal ceiling heights that prevented them from ascending ya know…), so I used my common fix of creating a teeny tiny high ceiling in between to let the door lift.

Long story short, I’d now like both fractions of the garage door to lift at the same time whenever one of them is opened to give the illusion that they are the same door.

Oh, and also, I added slopes today (also 3d floors for special objects but I didn’t think it looked as cool yet)

Going to bed cause it’s 12am so be back in the morning

[finite silo]

i dont know whats happening but the game only lets me interact with the pillar on the red line when ur supposed to interact with it on the green line on THE OTHER SIDE

someone help pls

just figured it out
the line was facing the wrong damn way

Pain.

And yes. I have a bunk bed even though I don’t share a room with anyone

Gray dude was just there for height reference, not a room mate (GET OUT)

[real sigil]

Oh, before I began building…

[whole blade]

that just contains zscript info specific to gzdoom. doom2.wad still contains the actual assets you need for doom wads (textures, sprites, sounds etc)

[teal wyvern]

demon brunch!

[finite silo]

its just press 2 buttons to open a door

with 3 pinkies inside the maze

[teal wyvern]

that doesn't sound bad at all

[finite silo]

the big part on the left side is the hard part

kill 4 barons of hell to progress while 42 imps on the edges throw fireballs at u over slime that damages u

• other enemies

[real sigil]

Any way to have two doors open at the same time whenever one is opened? Internet research didn’t understand my question

[finite silo]

why not tag all the doors the same number then have all doors open each other

[finite silo]

how do i color walls?
i want the grey part to be yellow

nvm found a way to do it
overscale a texture with yellow to insane amounts and do some offset magic to make it appear yellow

[runic breach]

couldn't you just use a yellow texture

[finite silo]

i triple checked and theres 0 pure yellow textures

the only option i had was to oversize a texture that contained yellow

[runic breach]

make your own

[finite silo]

im lazy

[finite silo]

i think im done with my map now

[real sigil]

I did. Weirdly doesn’t work. Does it fail if all four linedefs are selected (fronts and backs of both doors tagged)?

[finite silo]

it shouldnt though

it shouldnt fail if all the line defs are selected

did u create the garage door by raising the floor instead of lowering the ceiling perhaps?

if allelse fails then why not remove the door then create it again

[haughty flower]

my room in doom hehe (there is more im just too lazy to get more screenshots)

[finite silo]

myhouse.wad moment

[haughty flower]

xd

was kinda going for that, just no scripts or anything to make it like myhouse.wad

thought i'd mess around with 3d floors for furniture and trying out portals for 2 floors kinda thing

works pretty well

[finite silo]

personally id never go for any cool myhouse.wad type of magic when creating levels since it looks like a pain tokeep creating copies of 1 map

[haughty flower]

yeah i see what you mean, i did copy a floor twice for that (obviously) because i needed my second floor

its pretty seamless

although i have messed around with "myhouse.wad type magic" in a wad called "library" i made, it was pretty bad considering i didnt have any skill like i do now

[real sigil]

Of course not. I’ve created over 30 doors for my map.

I’m currently in the car on a road trip, so I suppose I’ll just redo it and see if it works. If not, I’ll look into certain methods I have saved for last

[finite silo]

just realized i forgot to fix a bug in this map

[real sigil]

Nope

Is it possible to raise a polyobject like a normal door? If not, I’ll just resort to scripting

I could just make the garage door smaller but I’m stubborn about accuracy lol

Smart car garage

[gusty plinth]

Started trying out Doom mapping for the first time, working on a underground level

[haughty flower]

looking good man

[real sigil]

Looking good so far

[inland smelt]

by far, now is 17 maps long

with some custom enemies and weapons and metal music

is uploading, wait

it almost finished uploading

here is my mod

here is

[thorn monolith]

made my first custom map! Let me know what you guys think of it :)

[haughty flower]

but make sure there isn't 0 brightness anywhere, because i can't see anything in the picture

[gusty plinth]

The brightness is 120, its meant to take place underground so thats why its dark

Made sure the sectors are dark but not less than 100

I made a new wad, can you give me your feedback?

[teal wyvern]

you need to set the door frames (the walls with the doortrak texture) to lower unpegged

[sturdy badger]

Is there a way (through dehaked or code thru Slade) to make the player lose all weapons when starting a level?

[neon steppe]

Yes, but I don't know how

Some wads like Sunlust uses this feature

[teal wyvern]

is 10 minutes a good time for a map?

[runic breach]

as in a map that lasts 10 minutes or a map you made in 10 minutes

[teal wyvern]

the map i'm making takes me around 10 minutes to complete, and that's me knowing all of it like the palm of my hand

i'm guessing a first time player will take 15 or 20

[runic breach]

i think that's good enough

i think i can beat most of scythe 2's early maps in under 10 minutes each

[teal wyvern]

i tend to think the maps i make are too short

[finite silo]

BRO
MY UDB CRASHED ON 6+ HOURS OF BUILDING PROGRESS

BRUHHHH

[grand token]

You never saved this whole time?

[lusty dove]

You should start saving regularly

[teal wyvern]

there's an emergency save thingy

you can reload from a crash i think

[half field]

anyone know some good doom 1 and 2 mods that arent maps

[haughty flower]

Hellrider is a good one to try. It's a gun mod.

[half field]

I was just playing with that a while ago. Its fun

[teal wyvern]

Reelism

[winged nacelle]

[finite silo]

how do i reload a crash

[finite silo]

i made my first map. can anyone try it and give me some feedback
im working on a mega wad and i wanna see if i can add better versions of certain parts of the map

[runic breach]

smexunmon

[finite silo]

why do linedef teleporters glitchout when touching 2 of them at the same time

[haughty flower]

As soon as I went down that long hall and then saw the MONSTROSITY OF DEMONS to my left, I quit.

And I got soft locked a few times. But everything else is great.

[bold breach]

Is whacked4 safe?

[lusty dove]

Yes

[bold breach]

Ok good because I already installed it

[cosmic reef]

are there any ultrakill weapon mods for doom?

[lusty dove]

Probably

[cosmic reef]

appears not, looked everywhere, only a map 01 replacement for doom 2

[lusty dove]

Huh

[finite silo]

lol i purposely made the underground part hell

[finite silo]

where did you get softlocked

[haughty flower]

Im probably just stupid and it can be opened again. But when you go up the HUGE ladder thing, but the first orange door, I cannot get back out and I cant go through the door with the space under it. So as far as I know, I'm soft locked.

[finite silo]

u mean the entrance to the temple?
u arent supposed to get back out of the temple when u go inside

also the door with a space under it can be opened it just needs to be interacted with multiple times

its like openeing a heavy door

[haughty flower]

Thank you. Actually a great concept.

[finite silo]

yw

[finite silo]

i love >=1

[haughty flower]

😶

[finite silo]

im working on a megawad. how do i change level name and music?

[teal wyvern]

this is one of the most creative usage of vanilla doom functions i've ever seen

[finite silo]

activated through ONLY projectiles

[teal wyvern]

i think you should come up with a way to signal the player that a wall can be blown appart

a different texture maybe?

[finite silo]

i placed rocket pixel art pointing at the wall

[teal wyvern]

oh shit i didn't see that, smart thinking dude

[finite silo]

thanks

im coming up with cooler stuff to play with rn to add to my megawad
btw how do i change level name and music

[teal wyvern]

how many maps do you have completed?

[finite silo]

so far i finished just 1
and its the first map i made

[teal wyvern]

neat

[finite silo]

i cant wait to see screams of rage expressed through text once people wander through this maze while having to turn on some switches

[haughty flower]

I'm still on hell temple and I opened the blue skull door and pressed the button. What do I do next? Those imps are... annoying.

[haughty flower]

Nvm I got it

I finally beat it.

[finite silo]

lmao the underground part?

[haughty flower]

Yep

[finite silo]

hows the part with the cyberdemon

[lusty dove]

is there a mod that changes the doomguy sprites depending on what weapon you are holding to make it look like hes holding that weapon?

for multiplayer and stuff?

[haughty flower]

I actually didn't get to fight him cus I accidentally got to the exit too quick.

[finite silo]

lol

cool mod but wtf flying pinkies?

[haughty flower]

They charged.

[finite silo]

i think i developed a new fear

im pretty sure the red beam is from the chain gunner
thats accurate as hell

[haughty flower]

Ain't mine. Just THOUGHT it was easier to combine the 2016 mod with the map and THE ARCH VILE WAS WORSE

[finite silo]

lmao nice what was the archvile like

[haughty flower]

Teleport, heat seeking energy orb thing, resurrect.

[finite silo]

💀

[haughty flower]

Had to do all this with a controller

On my phone

[finite silo]

bro the fixed camera speed with the controller

[finite silo]

what

oh did u connect ur phone to ur pc

[haughty flower]

No.

[finite silo]

wait did u play it on ur phone

[haughty flower]

Phone, on bed, me criss cross

[finite silo]

h o w did u play doom on a phone

[haughty flower]

[finite silo]

[haughty flower]

I can't get gzdoom on switch cus...duh

Does anyone here think they can convert this into a enemy of some sort.

[runic breach]

d4v has jumpnig pinkies?

[finite silo]

i hate this map i made for my WIP megawad

i tried it on pistol start and beat it with 3% hp left

[haughty flower]

Yes

[teal wyvern]

i think i'm finally finished

[tranquil atlas]

Looks good 4 me

[teal wyvern]

<@&162901871168585728> do i have to get permission from someone to post a wad?

[royal wave]

Not explicitly, but I'm not sure if the filter will remove any links

[teal wyvern]

it's the file itself

removed every unused texture and all so it's like 3mb

[royal wave]

You should be allowed to upload the wad as is

[teal wyvern]

nice

play with doom 2 on gzdoom

[median prairie]

Hello @everyone I am new and I need help trying to find a working zombie fodder mod sense the realm667 version doesn't work

[teal wyvern]

please turn off the texture filtering

[runic breach]

please turn off the texture filtering

[real sigil]

I have zdoom, zandronum, and dosbox to look pretty. I just have a strange habit of differing settings whenever I have multiple of one thing

But sure next time I film I’ll switch it off

[runic breach]

thaknk you🙏

[real sigil]

I don’t pay attention to detail when I’m playing so my monkey brain doesn’t notice too much. But I’ll keep it off permanently cause I tend to film what I’m doing a lot (long distance friends want to see what’s going on)

[finite silo]

cool

[runic breach]

i think you forgot some textures

cool map though, zdoom rocket jumping is pretty fun

[surreal swan]

For anybody that has played Embers of Armageddon (Both the Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal versions), what are some wads/megawads that are really fun with it?

[runic breach]

embers of armageddon?

[surreal swan]

yeah that one

[runic breach]

i had fun with d4t in darkstar.wad

d4t is another doom 2016 mod

i use it because eoa is 200 mb while d4t is 60

[surreal swan]

ok

[surreal swan]

seems pretty cool, I'll play it when I get some time tomorrow

[surreal swan]

where can I download myhouse.wad

[hallow warren]

doomworld

[gleaming crescent]

Anyone happen to have a link to some different colored Doomguy sprites I can download? It’s for the 3rd person glory kills for Project Brutality

[real sigil]

I wanted to put on something more detailed like the city sky, but couldn’t rescale textures on 3d objects. So I went with an animated tv instead

[teal wyvern]

you could copy the 3d sector, then delete it and then when you paste it it'll let you scale it

[real sigil]

I meant just the texture. Anyways, away from the computer, I just remembered I can adjust the texture of the control sector

But I like the animated tv for now

Well maybe

[royal wave]

I was interviewed for this article:
https://kotaku.com/doom-2-free-mods-myhouse-download-gzdoom-goty-1850616515?rev=1688762105477

[grand token]

Nice!

[surreal swan]

this shows up every time I try to interact with something. Can somebody tell me how to fix it? Pretty much every wad I have is unplayable

on the latest version of gzdoom btw

nevermind, turns out somehow the use button was unbound -_-

[shut crane]

I was thinking if it was possible to put a different image every intermission level, because I had an idea, basically a Army Of Darkness but Doom, instead of Ash the whole story it's about DoomGuy that travels in the middle ages. I was thinking of making a comic and every page is at the end of the level for telling this story

I'm definitely in the wrong server.

[finite silo]

maybe because we dont know either???

[slate maple]

time to start mapping again

[dusty canopy]

I don't know anywhere else where this would fit, but ZDL can run more than just doom source ports.

I found this out from a curiousity when try to setup crispy doom.

[runic breach]

lmao yea, i accidentally selected iwbtg as a source port once

zdl just runs a command which goes ${sourceport exe} -iwad ${iwad} -file ${map/mod} and so on

[elfin frost]

Hi, I'm trying to play My House wad on WiiDoom but when I select the difficulty the game stops working :( Someone could help me?

[teal wyvern]

pretty sure myhouse.wad isn't compatible with wiidoom

that port is based on prboom

[elfin frost]

What could be different? I selected Doom2 and then the pwad like other maps that works fine, but this not

[teal wyvern]

myhouse needs features that aren't present on that port of the game

that's why you have to play it with gzdoom

[elfin frost]

Oh that's sad :(

[median prairie]

I'm gonna leave

Screw this

[runic breach]

mix it with doom's own aesthetic and obviously it's gonna blow up

[dusty canopy]

What's iwbtg?

[runic breach]

i wanna be the guy

[dusty canopy]

Oh.

I think I'm fine not playing that. Also, ZDL might as well be just a game hub for me now.

[runic breach]

modding ZDL into an actual game hub shouldn't be that hard :P

oh my god, new project idea

thank you

[dusty canopy]

I didn't mod it. I just used it as is.

[runic breach]

no i mean

modding it into a PROPER game hub

[dusty canopy]

Oh, got it. I wonder if it's possible to run other mods for other games with ZDL.

[runic breach]

that's what i'm thinking of

you can define ur own lil parameters for each game

but idt all games launch with command line parameters

[dusty canopy]

Anyways, SC-55 midis of songs.

Nvm

[teal wyvern]

working on expanding my map

[real sigil]

When you play the game, only one cacodemon renders. Is there any property to check that can make the game not ignore sprites whose bounding boxes overlap?

Please it’s important

we must cook

[grand token]

There isn't. You need to make them not overlap.

[real sigil]

Fake cacodemon modeling time

We must cook at all costs

Well no actually I think that would be too much trouble. I think just one still gets the punchline across

[teal wyvern]

very happy with this

[kindred cove]

does doomworld have a discord? i need some help figuring out how to download mods for classic doom

nvm figured it out lol

[lusty dove]

it doesnt but you can ask questions like that here

[kindred cove]

I am or am not allowed to ask questions like that on here?

[lusty dove]

why wouldnt you be allowed to ask questions like that on here?

I would classify how to download mods as something in regards to classic doom maps and modding

[kindred cove]

Ah I getchu, thank you, I just got a lil confused lol

you made the screen rotate alongside the planet?

holy shiiit :o

[slate maple]

Red Devil variant, heals other monsters and deals fire damage

Blue Devil variant, chills player and deals a massive armor pentrating bolt

Gold Devil, has a seeker bolt and a barrage, all which can stun the player briefly.

[teal wyvern]

did you make this?

[royal wave]

I did

[teal wyvern]

good job lol

i wonder how much chaos can be applied on top of stuff like clusterfuck

[runic breach]

clusterfuck is zandronum-only

[teal wyvern]

can't you play it alone?

[runic breach]

yeah

but i mean this mod doesn't work with clusterfuck because afaik it's zscript

[blazing solar]

clusterfuck's gzdoom port is aaaaaalmost done, depends how much UV has left

[royal wave]

That's not how that works, lol

[runic breach]

no i mean

[blazing solar]

cuz UV took over the project and updated it to god complex, and he's working on the gzdoom port

[runic breach]

because clusterfuck only works on zandronum, which has no zscript support

of course you can run decorate and zscript together

[royal wave]

GZDoom doesn't exclusively use zscript

[runic breach]

yeah but there's a reason there needs to be gz ports of mods need to be made

[royal wave]

Because they use zand exclusive features

[runic breach]

yeah

[royal wave]

has nothing to do with zscript

[runic breach]

you can't run clusterfuck with a zscript mod because clusterfuck is zandro-only and zandro has no zs support

[teal wyvern]

is it really

[runic breach]

that's all i said

[blazing solar]

just wait until the gzdoom port is finished

[runic breach]

yeah

[royal wave]

you're wording it really really poorly

[blazing solar]

https://youtu.be/tE1stfIEuv4?t=140 if you are curious what's going on with it, listen to the start

[runic breach]

my fault for splitting it up into multiple messages

[blazing solar]

you might be able to play gzchaos with doomrpg though

[runic breach]

yup, i watched this already but i didn't finish it

[blazing solar]

doomrpg is honestly really fun too

[river yarrow]

Hi, can anyone recommend me any Doom wads or mods? Thanks.

[slate maple]

man i wish i had the time and skill to make a gzdoom mod like that

now i hate my maps, im envious, and slightly bitter

[teal wyvern]

the only way you'll get better is by practicing

try to figure out what exactly you could improve on and dedicate to that exact thing for a bit, then move on to other things and so. after some time you'll have enough learned skill to put it all together in one map

[prisma shore]

map is finished! its pretty hard on UV and probably around 3-5 minutes long

[slate maple]

I been working on this megawad since 2015, off and on again. I want to make a bigger total conversoin but ill need help for it. Might just have to dig into the savings acount and start a copmany

[teal wyvern]

Do you have anything to show from it? 2015 was quite some time ago so I bet it's some cool shit you're making

[median prairie]

I always want to make my own doom mod But I don't know how to, so here's a concept of a shotgun I will definitely change it.

[slate maple]

well off and on. ill work on it for a month or so at a time per year

then i get burned out, i had a quick alpha test on doomworld but nobody really played it

i also have a problem of adding more and more monsters. Can't stop

[teal wyvern]

may i see the doomworld post?

[slate maple]

the dropbox link is gone, but the post may still be ... ill look for it

Remember this is old, changed a lot since here. I hope to have a new release in time for QuakeCon - I need to do more polish

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/130278-the-eldritch-runes-of-discord-beta/?tab=comments#comment-2520673

right now im in SPriting mode, going to make a gibbed Cacodemon sprite set since there isn't one. Not even brutal doom really has one.

[teal wyvern]

oh my god man

that looks amazing!

from what i'm reading on the post you have a lot of interesting systems put in place like some sort of upgrade to the player and weapons

[slate maple]

yah you get tokens if you find and finish a slayer gate. I will be putting in a teleport in varios parts of each episode that leads you to a store. You can buy health UP's and new weapons. Most new weapons do higher damage but are not as cost effective as their vanilla counterparts

[teal wyvern]

still a great option to have

why do you think your maps are bad again?

[slate maple]

there is are dozens of new monsters. I am making a bunch of Lovecraftian types

[teal wyvern]

from what i'm seeing here all you're lacking is time to dedicate to it

[slate maple]

i have two kids and a full time job lol

[teal wyvern]

and you somehow manage to have the skill to make this lol

hey maybe someday your kids will want to make maps with you

[median prairie]

Your mod looks amazing

[slate maple]

here is a shoggoth i made last week

basically kinda a duke nukem protozoid

[teal wyvern]

Very quake 1 looking creature

[slate maple]

yah there is a set of quake1/lovecraftian demons that are at war with the Doom demons. It plays out as you progress

bascially quake Hell and Doom Hell have locked into a stalemate

[teal wyvern]

and the player is there as a tie breaker?

that sounds cool, i always wondered what would happen if a fiend fought a pinky or if a baron fought a shambler

[slate maple]

Shambler base sprite i will use. far from done

Pinky Shambler. These are very fast

Beholder. Basically a cosmic variant of the cacodemon

i need to also make a Mindflayer and Star Spawn

[median prairie]

Is that a blind pinky reSkin

[slate maple]

yes, from realm667

but it doenst act like a blind pinky

[median prairie]

Cool

[river yarrow]

I will play your wad

[prisma shore]

cool lmk what you think and if you think i should change/add anything

[median prairie]

Realm667 It's kind of hit-or-miss some of them work. Some of them don't work Like the dark imp pack

[river yarrow]

It looks very good. Do you have a demo or something to try it out?

[slate maple]

yah right near quakecon. I need ot finish up some major systems first becuase the wad not very playable right now.

[river yarrow]

[slate maple]

trying to add new difficulties between already established ones. Kinda a pain. Wish UDB had a database manager, or if it does i dont know how to get there

[teal wyvern]

@royal wave is there any functions to change the music mid game?

like I want to be able to press a button and play a different midi

[runic breach]

icaruslives on yt and the cacowards on doomworld

also go through what decino plays and maybe the wad progression for skill improvement thread

https://zdoom-docs.github.io/staging/Api/Base/Object.html

[teal wyvern]

i ended up figuring it out at 5 am lol

sorry for bothering dude

[sturdy zephyr]

Reminds me of doom 3’s cacodemon in a way

[slate maple]

Its base model was, i just recolored it

[slate maple]

I have some Doom 3 variants in the wad, they were "mutated" by the quake hell's influence. Working on the D3 Manc right now

Doom 3 Pinky, not sure how i am going to make him different than the normal pinky.

i might replace his legs with flesh too

[teal wyvern]

Make him slower, tankier and do more damage

[slate maple]

D3 manc, he is now a turncoat and follows shub

yah maybe, also might have all pinkies deal extra armor damage even if their bite doesn't connect in the A_FaceAattack

like they just nipped a piece of armor off, ill have to put in a animation and sndinfo for it since people HATE it when you change vanilla monsters

which i understand

[runic breach]

why do people hate it

[slate maple]

because vanilla enemies need to remain predictible or else it will seem cheap. If they must be changed, it is important to convey that information to the player. Either bye making a new sprite recolor or giving it some hints such as these in my wad

This is a vanilla cacodemon, however i changed him. The standard cacodemon has a chance to fire a yellow lightning orb which stuns the player. This is part of that attack animation so you know when to dodge.

I made the "fire" on the lost soul more orange. Many may not notice it as much. This Fire Soul replaces the Lost Soul. All Lost Soul behavior has changed slightly. Basically their melee attack is faster and they do not infight anymore!

this heal knight is firing a red bolt. These do absorb damage and heal the knight back to full health. Barons can alos fire these as well as their green poison

[teal wyvern]

@royal wave i finally published the map i was working on

[runic breach]

yeah but don't you already have a different sprite that signals that it acts differently?

[slate maple]

i do, but i have played maps where people have standard imps firing rockets, and cyberdemons with 9000 hp. You wouldn't know until you are either dead or out of ammo

[runic breach]

yeah those are asshole moves

[lusty dove]

i just had a really cool idea for a custom enemy that would fit very well in difficult mapsets

it would be called the mind flayer or something, and basically what it does is while it is alive, all enemies would be under its control, and what that means is nothing will infight with eachother

they will all just fight you

[slate maple]

i am frankenspriting a mindflayer right now. Do you know of a decent sprites?

wip, transparency is messing up in adobe, so it is very wrong

going to make his flesh more grayish purple

as far as "turnning enemies" into +NOTARGET flag, that would take decorate skills beyond me

[real sigil]

https://youtu.be/V22di5D31Bs

The worst part is saved for last. After I finish this room (also has lots of computers and a diagonal table with comic pages taped to it), I have the garage…too much gym equipment.

Imma still do it cause accuracy

[lusty dove]

I dont map for zdoom

[runic breach]

he doesn't map for zdoom

[teal wyvern]

You need to cut the frames and add them into doom with slade3

Try looking at the code of the normal shotgun as a guideline on how to do it

[median prairie]

I forgot to mention I'm on mobile.

Also, those emojis seem like an insult.

[teal wyvern]

I'm not sure if you can edit doom on mobile

[teal wyvern]

i added a star because i think it's nice to see people trying to make stuff, idk who put the other ones

[median prairie]

Ok ty

[slate maple]

no he does not

[solar brook]

the video almost blew my ears out with how loud it was.

RIP Headphone users

[median prairie]

What do you want me to delete it and Edit it

[solar brook]

No, i was just explaining why i put the "L O U D" emojis beneath it

[median prairie]

people on Discord can be jerks.

[solar brook]

idk what exactly makes me a "jerk" for warning other headphone users from a loud video...

[slate maple]

mindflayer wip

[round gazelle]

that looks great

[lusty dove]

this is interesting looking

[round gazelle]

is that the only animation frame you've done so far?

[lusty dove]

is this based on the idea i suggested earlier?

[runic breach]

i wasn't even on headphones and it was still loud at half of my phone's volume

[runic breach]

no reason to be insulted lol

[median prairie]

I Delete it so you guys can shut up

[solar brook]

The only one being rude is you for being so extremely offended over nothing

[wind patio]

It’s still loud but anyway

[median prairie]

No, it isn't.

[wind patio]

Well
Just saying,if you have headphones lower the volume a bit

But yeah it’s not as loud as it was

[median prairie]

God damn What's wrong with you, people?

I'm gonna have to edit again.

[wind patio]

Just.. add a volume warning at the start of the video

No need to edit or anything
Just a warning so if someone opens it they have time to close it

[real sigil]

If you want a single screen you can adjust the texture scaling and offsets

[mellow coral]

I think it's funnier this way

Doomguy's so cool he isn't satisfied with one screen and needs 4

Don't know if I'll be going anywhere with this, bur cranked this prototype today. I wanted to make a toolgun for GZDoom mappers, and the first functionality I put in was adjusting a sector's brightness. Sometimes you just need to see things engine side.

[mellow coral]

Ok that's awesome

[mellow coral]

Man mapping is fun

[mellow coral]

bit of a shitty sketch but this is my idea for the map i'm making

I had a devilish idea of the player entering a room when suddenly the lights go out and a group of specters appears, with a light switch in the distance waiting for the player to touch it

[mellow coral]

Making the library entrance

Trying it out in prboom just to be sure

[teal wyvern]

you could add more area here. the yellow represents a window to look out into the area, the blue represents areas you can walk in https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/520800224914964482/1134312527300399245/image.png

i do like the aesthetic your map has so far too

[mellow coral]

ok i'll try!! sorry im just starting to learn and all

I can try adding another outdoor section where you burst out of the library through a window or something

[teal wyvern]

oh don't worry, i'm just giving you some neat ideas

[teal wyvern]

you already have better texturing ideas than i did when i started lol

my maps were all just rock textures

[mellow coral]

I do know a thing or two about modeling in blender so i guess that kinda stuck with me

[teal wyvern]

that will definitely help you when it comes to getting accustomed to the editor since it uses vertices, lines and sectors

what mapping tool are you using by the way?

[mellow coral]

Ultimate Doom builder

[teal wyvern]

oh nice i was going to say use that one if you were using other ones

[real sigil]

My previous experience was just a lifetime of legos 💀 and about 2 days of roblox landscaping before my computer had a stroke

I have to learn blender soon though cause I need to model sprites for both my doom mods and original games

Legos no joke though taught me a lot about thinking in terms of blocks. That’s how I’m able to rapidly dissect my 3d doom models into the least amount of simple parts

[mellow coral]

lil question, do you guys think that it's good to start a map with 100 bullets in the starting area? Mainly asking for balance on ultraviolence and all

This is how i have my starting area set up
E is Easy
M is hard
and (even though there are none here) H is Hard

[royal wave]

That entirely depends on the encounters you make

would 100 bullets be enought for a few zombiemen and imps? Sure

would 100 bullets be enough for a cyberdemon? no

[mellow coral]

The first ocuple of encounters are against a couple of imps and Zombiemen

Shotguners also in hard

[royal wave]

Your job as a map maker is to find that balance, find whether you want the player to be flush with ammo, or have it be very tight

[mellow coral]

I'll see what i can do, i'm planning to make this a one-map type thing that scales up as you go further down the city

I have this little arena as the first medium sized encounter

The two imps start on medium onwards and the shotguners start on hard only

[teal wyvern]

constant testing is a good idea

press F9 to test your map

[mellow coral]

Yeah i'm doing that with every new addition pretty much

[teal wyvern]

maybe not with every new addition but with every sorta finalized room

usually i end up testing something when i'm nearly done with it or when i have doubts with particular engine quirks like 3d stuff

[mellow coral]

Yeah it was just a way of saying i test it a lot

Lil desk with computor

How did you make something like a gate with transparent bits?

Oh nvm

[mellow coral]

Had to make some weird hacks to get this little hole in the fence but i'd say it's worf it

[teal wyvern]

use middle textures

[mellow coral]

This is how it's in the builder

[teal wyvern]

right click the line with the midgrate textures

you should see that a line has upper, middle and lower textures

a mid texture is a sort of floating texture, you can move it around the line and achieve effects like see through fences for example

or glass panels if you use a metal texture with lowered opacity

[mellow coral]

it works like this in prboom so that's good enough for me

[teal wyvern]

good luck making more cool stuff homie

[mellow coral]

:( sorry

[teal wyvern]

why sorry?

[mellow coral]

oh i thought you were being sarcastic

[teal wyvern]

oh no no i'm being for real, i like seeing people get into making maps

[shut tusk]

Dont think down on yourself homie keep up the good work bro 👍

[mellow coral]

Lil mischevious secret

Now i need something to put in this sneaky secret

[mellow coral]

Zombies looking through the books

and an imp

[slate maple]

anyone know where you can make your own bfgsplash?

sorry mean bfgextra https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:BFGExtra

trying ti make a super bfg and this is the only thing i been unable to attach to monsters when it hits the outliars

[slate maple]

waht do you use to record?

i might do a brief demo as well

[mellow coral]

I use obs

[slate maple]

yah me too, just havn't used it in a long time

I AM IN need of several doom 64 textures. I have the game, but is there a Wad or something? cant find the texture lump on the one i got

otherwise i have to put them all togheter

[mellow coral]

Lemme see if textures resource has them

i can't send the link
:(

textures-resource.com/nintendo_64/doom64/
pretend it was the www.

Then insert them using whatever program lets you put textures in game

[pliant holly]

meow

[runic breach]

im ngl my dreams come up with some cool doom mod/map ideas

[slate maple]

yah i seen that, but it doens't give me the correct patch structure or w/e its called. i know there is a texture lump somewhere for D64 sinc ei don it before

[slate maple]

anyone know where i can find the quake sound for "secret" or Quake 2 secret

[slate maple]

Elder Spawn, if you know lovecraft, you know what this is. It is a recolor of a freedoom "Pinky", it will fire out magical arcane blasts with destroy player armor WIP'

Horribly late but here

[haughty flower]

Welcome to Carmine's Asylum

[mellow coral]

I don't think this is safe to enter

the good bathroom:

[mellow coral]

oh no it has.... bl .. od......

[mellow coral]

Would anyone be up to play testing this when i get a few things done?

[mellow coral]

shit to death

[mellow coral]

After messing with middle walls for a bit i got a decent looking mirror

[teal wyvern]

looking great!

[mellow coral]

Sketch i made for the big library fight

The chaingunner is ment to be the main guy of the fight, snipping from above while being helped by imps and Sergants

[mellow coral]

Oh right i should talk about this because i think it's cool

So basically, after the player picks up the blue key a small little wall opens up and it just shows one imp

So you naturally shoot it but
uh oh!
pinky ambush

[slate maple]

he just wants to cuddle

[teal wyvern]

@mellow coral is this your first map? You have a lot of talent!

[mellow coral]

Ty! It's kinda my first full fleshed out map not counting experiments from before

[teal wyvern]

Ah so you're putting all your previous experience into one map? I did the same lol

It's looking great pal

[mellow coral]

Ty!

[gaunt cave]

My oversimplified vision of 2 fort

[mellow coral]

I feel you could take clues from the original quake/half life version of 2fort

[gaunt cave]

I just take it by memory

Because fully re-create 2 fort from tf2

Its hard

[slate maple]

hopefully i can get a playable versoin of my megawad in a few days. Just need to playtest in case i didnt something stupid.

[runic breach]

which mapper(s) do you think make the best slaughter maps

[gaunt cave]

Sorry if I sound like edgy but if you want gory maps so uac labs + brutal doom

[runic breach]

slaughter maps

as in the genre of doom wads focused on fighting dense hordes of enemies

[gaunt cave]

Ahh I don't played in them

[mellow coral]

Nuts

Or maybe valiant

[runic breach]

thanks but im asking for mappers

and i've played both

[mellow coral]

Then no clue

[runic breach]

i wanna try grinding through all of benjogami's stuff

[grand token]

Good luck.

[runic breach]

thanks, i'll definitely be needing it

[open sandal]

Hi, i'm new to making Doom maps and i just decided to make a little living room to practice, i think i'll add more rooms and objects to eventually make a full house. if you guys have any tips or suggestions for my lil house project, that would be greatly appreciated because i want to get better at doom mapping. i dont know what room to add next so if you guys could give me some ideas, that would really help. i want to get better at this and practice makes perfect. i'll update you guys on this house when i add somthing new. Thanks, bye

[sterile schooner]

How about adding a table somewhere? Could be just a block protruding out of the ground or an actual table if you have access to UDMF features.

[open sandal]

i tried to make an actual table but i found it a bit challenging. So to make up for the failure, i added a Ps1 model to the table to make it look nicer

[sterile schooner]

It does look pretty nice!

[open sandal]

thanks!

[runic breach]

what would a mugshot mod do

[hollow ether]

[runic breach]

[runic breach]

[atomic drum]

Is it possible to get demons to target a doomguy clone without scripting? (Doom builder)

[teal wyvern]

Enclose them in a room where they can't see the player but they can see the clone

[atomic drum]

I tried that, they didn't wake up to attack the clone

[teal wyvern]

They need to be alerted

Make the room with the demons have a small sort of air vent to where the player actually is. That way the sound travels through that sector and alerts the monsters

That's how doom 1 and 2 do it

[runic breach]

i was gonna type this, sound pipes are super cool

[atomic drum]

I have also tried that, however I need the actual player to be in the room in order for the demon to attack the clone

hurt* the clone

The demon is agro toward the player

[teal wyvern]

When they get alerted they will search for whatever they can harm

Usually other demons

[atomic drum]

I think you mean they search for whatever caused them to be alerted

[teal wyvern]

You're using voodoo dolls right?

[atomic drum]

yes

[teal wyvern]

Hmmmm

Set a monster hate target I guess?

[atomic drum]

I am trying to do this while only using classic / doom 2 mechanics

[teal wyvern]

You might have better luck trying to make a timed crusher instead

[atomic drum]

I'm not trying to kill the player, I'm trying to get a demon to agro the voodoo doll.

[teal wyvern]

I'm sorry I don't know how to help you here, my knowledge is mostly udmf features and that kind of stuff

[atomic drum]

Fair enough

I don't use udmf all too often

[teal wyvern]

I think there should be a flag you can set when you place down a thing for monsters to attack it

[atomic drum]

Not in classic / doom 2 format

[open sandal]

Ok, so, ive now added a kitchen to the house and i might start work on a few other rooms in the house map. Does anyone have any suggestions for what room or item i could add to the house next? I'm loving this project so far and some suggestions would be fun! Thanks

[atomic drum]

Man cave with gaming PC

[open sandal]

Perfect!

thanks

[teal wyvern]

The bathroom

[open sandal]

Sure!

wait...

i'll need to model a toilet...

oh no

[teal wyvern]

Oh yeah

[atomic drum]

Toilets are rather easy to make

[slate maple]

my wad is now 90 megs, oh dear

[atomic drum]

My god...

[open sandal]

hehe...doom ps5

[lusty dove]

what did you do lol

did you use a million textures? or did you use models or smthn?

[runic breach]

model

he made a ps1 model previously

[lusty dove]

ah

what should I add for extra details to this map

[slate maple]

63+ unique monsters

[lusty dove]

but that shouldnt take up that much space

unless they had 3d models

[slate maple]

and right now 40 levels

er not 40, about 26

[lusty dove]

huh

[slate maple]

and yes lots new textures. its probalby going to be 120 mg when im finally done with it.

working on mindflayer decorate, ugh cant get this to do what i want

[slate maple]

i think it looks fine, maybe some torches?

[lusty dove]

ok

i mean to the rocky areas, less so the castle, the castle is fine

[slate maple]

you could draw some cracks and fill it with lava

mini lava streams

[lusty dove]

hmm, il try that

[valid nacelle]

anybody know where I can get brutal doom and where do I put it

[round gazelle]

brutal doom is a pk3 you can grab it from mod db and load it like a pwad

[open sandal]

Made the bathroom! The house now has four rooms including the Man Cave ( which i'm still working on ) I'm really enjoying making this house and would love some more suggestions for rooms or items in the house! Thanks

[open sandal]

Pretty Crap but i tried my best!

[teal wyvern]

That's neat

[slate maple]

https://youtu.be/Ha31qWZQhWI

[lusty dove]

very cool!

[round gazelle]

That's dope as fuck

[pale pagoda]

I'm here to cllab with people ot make big Wad, for doom 2, it will expand it in classic style, so basically vannila plus, but the catch is that there will too many new features like tons of new demons and so many new settings so yeah, i also plan to make expansion for that wad but i haven't ogt it scripted yet, it also has storys ||First wad: you deafted (fake) icon of sin and tought oyu could go home, but you stumble upon a skinhole that you jusp in and turns out it's the real hell, and you have benn lied all this time, and after many chapters you deafeat the real icon of sin|| ||Second wad : You are almost dying, but then you opened your eyes and your in hospital, you got out of your bed and travaled home, but then you hear demons and huge wave of mutated demons come in||
