classic-doom-maps-mods

[hollow inlet]

well it seems fine x3

[weak arrow]

compiled slade on a fresh arch install and you have to install webkit2gtk-4.1 package specifically, not just webkit2gtk indicated on the wiki. Maybe this will save someone time. Next I'm gonna get udb to run via wine.

[whole blade]

if you only copy lines, it will only paste lines. if you want it to paste a sector you have to first copy an entire sector

[hollow inlet]

i see

[whole blade]

the advantage of copying only lines rather than whole sectors is it won't overwrite the properties of wherever you're pasting

actually (just checked), if the line you are copying completes a closed sector, it will set up the sector for you. there might be cases where it doesn't do this (previously point about overriding still stands, it'll inherit from the sector you're pasting into)

[hollow inlet]

not it clearly wont..? .w.

well you did say it might not but idk if it ever worked for me x3

[rapid bison]

Good morning everyone

[hollow inlet]

whyd you put this here- well gm anyway

[rapid bison]

Sorry I just woke up and typed it 😅

[final plover]

very new to modding
if i want to play a classic doom map/wad do i need to get the iwad separately or does owning the games on steam work fine

[lusty dove]

the steam installation includes the iwad

most source ports should be able to find it in your steam directory

what do you want to play?

[final plover]

im not sure yet
i like the puzzle aspects of the classic games

[lusty dove]

hmmm

there arent a lot of puzzle focused maps i dont think

there are some i think, but i dont really know what they are

in terms of choosing a source port, if you want to play gameplay mods, you are gonna want to use gzdoom

[final plover]

i do have gzdoom i just dont know how to use wads with it lol

[lusty dove]

and in general gzdoom can be a good choice, but if you are a turbo nerd like me who cares about things like vanilla behavior then something like dsda-doom or woof would be better since it perfectly matches the gameplay of the original

[lusty dove]

you can just drag whatever you want to load onto the exe of gzdoom, or you can launch it through the command line using the command gzdoom -file FILENAMEHERE.WAD

[final plover]

does the .wad need to be in the gzdoom folder or anything?

[lusty dove]

if you are using the command line method, yes, if you are using the drag and drop method no

[final plover]

oh nvm i think i figured it out
i thought itd show as an option in the launch menu but no i just have to open the right game

[lusty dove]

yeah

[lusty dove]

that menu is only for selecting iwads, not pwads

[final plover]

well ty for the help
ig ill just have to look for some cool wads to play

[lusty dove]

my personal favorite wad is called Eviternity, it has excellent visuals, gameplay, and music

super atmospheric and mysterious

[final plover]

sounds cool
ill look it up

[lusty dove]

it has a sequel thats also really good

[final plover]

i think i found it on doomworld
whats the sequel called

[lusty dove]

eviternity 2

[final plover]

ah lol

[lusty dove]

play the first one before the second tho, second one picks up where the first left off

[final plover]

gotcha
i couldnt find the second one anyway

at least on doomworld

[lusty dove]

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/142015-rc5-eviternity-ii-rc5-released/

its not fully released, they are still working on coop support

[final plover]

oh wait you can do coop doom?

[lusty dove]

yeah

it works better with some source ports than others

[final plover]

probably last question: so i do have gzdoom but if i wanted a source port thats true to original doom (no freelook and stuff) which would you recommend
you mentioned dsda-doom and woof, i guess one of those?

[lusty dove]

i like woof

it is what i play on most of the time

its compatible with most non zdoom specific maps

and it has a very nice and easy to use settings menu

you can set a bunch of settings in gzdoom to get it very close to the original but thats a lot of work and there will always be slight differences

dsda-doom is nice too, similar to woof but it also has some extra features for speedrunning and it has support for a hardware renderer (enabling freelook and stuff)

but with woof or dsda, if you set it to vanilla compatibility mode, the behavior will be fully identical to the original

chocolate doom is FULLY identical in every way to the original at least to the extent that windows allows

crispy doom is a modified version of chocolate doom to support bigger maps and higher resolution and framerate and some other quality of life features

but chocolate and crispy wont run boom/mbf/mbf21 maps (the format that many community maps nowadays use)

sorry for the information overload

woof can run Eviternity and Eviternity 2 btw

[final plover]

np i appreciate it

[final plover]

good to know
can gzdoom also run them?

[lusty dove]

yeah

gzdoom runs pretty much anything except eternity engine maps and maps designed around specific port bugs

but the behavior will not be replicated exactly which means maps relying on engine quirks or other specific behaviors may break (this is very rare though)

eviternity 1 and 2 were tested specifically with gzdoom so they will work fine

[weak arrow]

It’s not classic Doom, but Doom 64 is very puzzley and has a great remaster out.

[lusty dove]

i should probably play doom64

i have it but i just never played it

[final plover]

nice

[final plover]

i have it on steam just havent played it yet

[weak arrow]

welp, jump ahwn it! Seriously though it's very good and each level is like a big puzzlebox

[hexed ravine]

Im new to modding doom in anyway and thought I could get some help from here. I want to make my player slower and to have a different starting weapon, I tried making a new player class for that. Right now I have a decorate.txt and a mapinfo and I keep getting an error :

Execution could not continue.
Script error, "MAP03.wad:DECORATE" line 1:
Expected '{', got 'MyPlayer'.

I would wish to know how to fix this error or if there is another way to do these

[lusty dove]

Whenever you have a code error, send your code, we have no way of telling what is wrong without seeing the code itself

[weak arrow]

Looks like a simple syntax error in a decorate script. It’s telling you exactly what the problem is. At the point in the code that says ‘MyPlayer’ the parser expected to encounter an opening curly brace. But as enator18 said, if you really want help with source code you need to supply it. You did do something else important and at least explained what you are trying to do and most importantly of all, why.

[hexed ravine]

Here is my zmapinfo and the part of decorate the error is referring. I don't think anything else is inportant. The brackets should be all in the right places since I basicly copied this from the doom wiki

[weak arrow]

Thanks. I've barely scratched the surface starting out too and nothing syntax-wise is jumping out at me here. Probably better to let other people weigh in.

My hypotheses as a total novice would be:

• There's a syntax error with blocks somewhere else in the file but you are getting a confusing error.
• The wrong parser is executing on this script resulting in a syntax error / script in the wrong lump.
• What you pasted from the web aren't the characters they appear to be / some other unicode that's resulting in a syntax error.
• Not sure how the scripts are run exactly but if they are concatenated before parse perhaps another script could be interfering and resulting in a syntax error being thrown on this script.

I'm also completely new to this discord and it appears to not allow links. Sharing the entire code file would probably help people examine the rest of the blocks in the script but I'm not sure what the preferred method for sharing code is here if links aren't allowed.

[scarlet solstice]

Kiryu is developing a remake of the classic doom

[weak arrow]

As a mod?

Also who is Kiryu?

[flat harness]

You have ZScript code in a Decorate lump

Either renaming the lump to "ZSCRIPT" or changing the code to Decorate will fix it

I recommend the former, renaming, as Decorate is now deprecated and is much limitted compared to ZScript

[weak arrow]

I've really enjoyed the doom builder tutorials on this guy's channel https://www.youtube.com/@Chubzdoomer

he explains things at a very good pace for beginners, mentions other options and why he chose the one he's using for the desired effect

[coarse parrot]

Someone know how I can convert my sprites in a graphic format for doom?

[lusty dove]

do you have slade?

[coarse parrot]

Yes, I have it

I'm new using that program

[lusty dove]

so once you have imported your images that you want to convert, select them, right click, and select this option

and then set the type to Doom GFX (paletted) and set the output palette to Doom

and then press convert

[coarse parrot]

Thanks!!, how i can solve this error in slade?

[lusty dove]

oh, you should not be editing the base doom or doom 2

you should be creating a blank wad and putting just the things you are changing in there

[coarse parrot]

Thanks!!, how I can select all the archives?

[lusty dove]

what do you mean by this?

[coarse parrot]

What I'm wondering is how I could select all the files from a wad to paste them into the blank wad, I don't know if it's necessary to do that for the wad to work correctly

[lusty dove]

nonono

the wad that you will be working on is called a pwad (patch wad) this is how all mods and maps are distributed, it is something that gets laid on top of the main game wad

it includes only the things that you want to be DIFFERENT from the main game

so it does not need to include all of the files. Just the things that you have changed or added

[coarse parrot]

Thanks!!! :DD

[weak arrow]

Yeah, good stuff 🙂

[hexed ravine]

Alr thanks very much it works now. I do not really understand why it works but it does so I don´t mind

and thanks for everyone else too

[weak arrow]

It’s on the main wiki page that explains zscript. https://zdoom.org/wiki/ZScript It replaced DECORATE. You wrote zscript flavored decorate code but you put it in a lump that executes the original DECORATE syntax. So it’s sorta like you put a SNES cart into a NES and expected it to work.

The engine expects certain code syntax in certain lump types.

I'm unfamiliar with the compiler error output but knowing the reason now I believe you had 2 clues you were trying to execute your zscript as legacy DECORATE code, which has a different syntax.

1. Alchemist saw that you had a DECORATE lump but not a ZSCRIPT one
2. The error output said it was trying to run your code as original DECORATE code

If you really want to learn how to do stuff you should never be satisfied with it suddenly working if you don't understand why the thing you tried worked. The options Alchemist gave you was to rewrite your code to actually be DECORATE code or have the proper parser / compiler run the zscript code syntax you actually wrote. They recommended the latter because zscript is meant to be an ongoing replacement for legacy DECORATE code, which is what the landing page for zscript states on the wiki in the second sentence.

My guess is that you followed a mix of old and new guidance from different places which were incompatible. Not understanding what zscript is and what it replaces (not knowing the why) led you to your problem. Don't be satisfied until you know why or you are DOOMed to repeat these sorts of mistakes when you are getting information (old and new) from different pages / docs / tutorials.

[hexed ravine]

Alr I very much appreciate you explained this in further detail it was insightful

[hexed ravine]

That is very possible

[torpid lichen]

any good tutorials to learn how to use Ultimate Doom Builder (or anyone that can help me)?

[flat harness]

just look up "doom mapping tutorial" on youtube and a lot of stuff will pop up

there's a nice video by james paddock

and a whole playlist of content by the great DavidXNewton

Doomkid also offers some very insightful content that is very much vanilla compatible

[torpid lichen]

ok great thanks

[agile moat]

👋 Hi every-buddy! I'm new here, and just curious as to how "active" the scene may be for original DOOM ('93) mapping / modding 😄

er, well DOOM / DOOM II (maybe even DOOM III)? I used to make maps/levels for DOOM I & II (as a kid, when they came out); but never personally done any modding or mapping for DOOM III

[weak arrow]

with games / mods like My House, Selaco, Vomitoreum etc and constant updates to gzdoom and tools like ultimate doom builder and slade I would say the scene is not only very active but also having a renaissance

there's portals, colored, lighting, destructable geometry and many other modern style features in gzdoom and other mods. This is from a year ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m65I6cUEUo

Vomitoreum is a little rough around the edges but it's basically a bite sized metroid prime style game with some Zdzisław Beksiński (like Polish HR Giger) inspired environments and art design. There are mobility upgrades like an air dash and double jump. All of it is done as mods on gzdoom. Selaco is very impressive in a lot of respects. Also running on gzdoom.

The kids call us elder millennials boomers now and have labeled our era/style of shooters "boomer shooters". There's been a surge in popularity in that genre and gzdoom is a big part of that trend.

[agile moat]

Nice!

[weak arrow]

There's a crazy amount of youtube and forum resources for modding and using the tools. I'm new here as of some days ago and people here also seem very genuinely helpful. There's probably never been a better time to jump in and mess with classic DOOM / the gzdoom source port in particular.

[agile moat]

Wow! that's a major coincidence then. As I stated, I used to make maps (with DCK) when I was a kid when DOOM was still "new"! I am on a general "retro kick" right now myself (downloading all the MAME roms and plan on making a mame cabinet for my garage). Figured I may like to get back into mapping for the ORG doom!

[weak arrow]

You'll need 3 things to get started I think: gzdoom itself, ultimate doom builder for mapping, slade for constructing WADs

someone just mentioned a few youtubers to look into above. I've also been enjoying videos of chubzdoomer on youtube.

[agile moat]

I do have the ports (I am an archiver) but I think for purity I'll actually be using the ORG ORG doom, on DOSBox

not decided for sure yet though

[weak arrow]

I think you'll be passing up a large world of tools and help trying to stick with OG stuff, personally.

[agile moat]

I was actually liking what I saw about the chocolate doom and Odamex port(s)

true

yeah I'll grab UDB !!!

at least give it a shot...

doesn't help that I am in the middle of switching ALL my machines (computers) FROM winblows to Linux

[weak arrow]

there are a lot of very weird hacks you'd have to do with scripts. Like having decorate scripts put fake items in inventory to pass off objects to other script types. Zscript in gzdoom unifies a bunch of those script types into a more full featured scripting system that addresses a lot of the super hacky things people did back in the day.

[onyx scroll]

you'll need Wine for UDB, then

or compile it from source if you can

[weak arrow]

I compiled and installed UDB without wine. There are instructions on the site.

[agile moat]

sweet!

[weak arrow]

compiled slade on a fresh arch install and you have to install webkit2gtk-4.1 package specifically, not just webkit2gtk indicated on the wiki.

for UDB I just had to install the mono and mono-msbuild packages as UDB is classic .Net framework (not .Net core)

The devs don't use linux though and I'm not sure about the stability of it there yet

I haven't done much with it so I'm not sure

[agile moat]

I suppose I could keep at least ONE laptop/PC for Win if it helps... Or at least have ONE machine set up in a dual boot scenario

although I was really hoping to just get away from Win 100% =\

[weak arrow]

the github readme for UDB has the linux compilation instructions https://github.com/UltimateDoomBuilder/UltimateDoomBuilder

they are specifically for debian based distros. You will have to find the relevant deps on your distro if it's not debian based but it's not very hard. There aren't many and they are pretty standard stuff

This was far simpler than running it with wine. If I hit stability issues I'll move to windows, maybe in a VM

[agile moat]

I'll probably have a few different distros depending on the machine/purpose

[weak arrow]

compiling gzdoom itself was the most complex of the three: gzdoom, UDB, slade

[agile moat]

Ah yes, the VM is a good idea. I remember when I first started on Linux (servers) it was on a Win host in a VM - LOL

I'm just so over (and done with) Win! It's not even worth "stealing" any more IMHO

[weak arrow]

yeah, I'm there with you especially with all the crap I have to disable on a fresh install and now this Recall garbage

[agile moat]

Win7 was the last Windows I actually "like"/"liked"

exactly

OMG

new idea! Why build a MaME arcade when I can build a DOOM arcade cabinet ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZDs15T_bFk

[weak arrow]

It looks mostly doom themed. I think for actually DOOMing on an arcade cab a trackball is probably better than a stick

[agile moat]

I would go with a full sized/traditional cabinet though, not a "bar top"

[weak arrow]

yeah. I have a MERCS cab that was converted to SF that I need to fully restore. The conversion rotated the monitor to landscape. It needs a lot of work but there are service stickers on it. I'm thinking of maybe ship of theseusing it by rebuilding most of it with ply and retaining the historical bits like the service stickers and coin mech.

MERCS is a good one for fighters cause it was meant for 3 players so the control surface is much larger than most cabs and trapezoidal shaped.

[agile moat]

nice! I do have an original Lethal Enforcers (real) machine!

that is going to remain un-molested for sure; but I do plan on/think I will do a MAME cabinet and maybe now a DOOM cabinet too!

[weak arrow]

I was gonna go with a jamma selector to switch between my hyper fighting board, a neo geo board, and a mister jamma

I don't think I'm gonna run console or PC games on it. I have other better ways to do that than a cab

If I do a trackball something like doom would be fun to try though

[agile moat]

I do like the trackball idea!

[hexed ravine]

What my favorite painter zdzislaw mentioned :0?

[short dock]

Light test

[whole blade]

probably the most popular it's ever been. there's a reason the Cacowards has bene expanded several times over the last few years, so much good stuff being made.

[agile moat]

I was really wondering with the "newer" DOOM's out (which I actually haven't purchased/played yet... DOOM [16] and Eternal...

It's definitely good to hear though! It's all too common for people to have this tendency to float toward the new "shiny"!!!

[weak arrow]

Is this a lighting mod like relighting? Also where are the textures from?

[short dock]

No, they are just a lot of sectors that are gradually lowered in light intensity, and the textures are from doom 2.

[final plover]

thats awesome to know
what are cacowards/where do i find them?

[lusty dove]

they are a community awards thing that happens every year

where at the end of the year, people discuss the best wads that came out that year in a doomworld threadd

and then an official article thing comes out announcing the winners and each one has a short little article written about it

[final plover]

oh cool

[lusty dove]

and there are a bunch of awards for just things that are good but then there are also some specific categories

[torpid lichen]

is there a way to keep enemies that i want to ambush the player from getting aggroed by gunshots?

[weak arrow]

I've very curious about how all these mechanisms work and how much custom work or other mods are being composed vs built into the engine: 3rd person, inventory management, melee combat and animations with 3d models. Do you have a dev log or anything like that you would be willing to share?

[weak arrow]

Maybe you could rifle around in the code of some other enemy AI mods to see what's possible? https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/136847-mods-that-alter-enemy-behaviorai-in-interesting-ways/

[torpid lichen]

ok cool, thing is when i put enemies round corners n such A they don’t actually attack until shot at and B they get attracted by gunshots and so don’t get that ambush thing which i want

[weak arrow]

yeah, my approach without a direct answer from someone would be digging through various enemy classes to see if there are good ones I could extend and seeking out other people's code that heavily modifies enemy AI

yeah, maybe you could dig through all the monster classes built in for the various games and learn what they do and if one fits https://zdoom.org/wiki/Category:Monster

Here's a list of properties I just found https://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_properties#Flag_combos

[light prism]

sorry havent really logged anything, but i have been trying to commend the code as i go

[weak arrow]

is your code hosted somewhere?

[light prism]

animations have been improved engine-side with the SetAnimation function

everything else is custom from the ground up

unfortunately no not right now, i just have it on ym google drive

[weak arrow]

sounds like heavy scripting. Maybe you have an answer or can point hobgoblin in the right direction

[light prism]

well yeah creating the fundamental systems can be script heavy

once its done it runs itself, you just throw in the variables

just wrote this dialog system today, now i can just throw it a portrait image and strings to chain together a conversation

[weak arrow]

This looks promising https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/117483-how-to-spawn-monsters-with-the-ambush-players-property/. There are sound blocking line defs and an ambush flag to play with. https://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_flags#AMBUSH https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=28759

[torpid lichen]

oh brilliant thanks

[weak arrow]

From what I read it sounds like the ambush flag means they will still hear the gunshot and pursue if they also have line of sight

so maybe you want that block sound on the line def or some combo of that and ambush. It also looks like there's some complexity in making the sound block work properly that's discussed in those threads.

This is pretty funny. You can make enemies back away from you by giving them negative speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54TTvjK2PnM

[weak arrow]

This belongs in a DOOM map imho

[weak arrow]

My House has a mirror portal

This art style with bad CRT convergence could work well in a doom mod https://store.steampowered.com/app/2736710/TOON/

You could do some 80s cartoon art style like thundercats with flat colors and bold lines then apply an effect to the sprites and textures to get this off convergence look probably.

[prime breach]

Glad to see people are still talking about this mindfuck of a WAD a year later lmao

[weak arrow]

I'm glad to see me too

[haughty flower]

Where should I start if I want to make a map and mod?

[onyx scroll]

maybe looking at Chubzdoomer tutorials to get an idea how to use the tools

[haughty flower]

Ok

[harsh cedar]

Opinions on MyHouse.Wad?

[lusty dove]

what kinds of maps/mods do you want to make?

[haughty flower]

Well maybe simple sprite edits and new weapons

Eventually I want to make a unofficial sequel to plutonia and tnt

[lusty dove]

those already both exist

plutonia 2 and tnt revilution

[haughty flower]

Oh

I was thinking about the slayers time in hell

Before he joins the sentinels

Maybe even the taras nabad place where he defeats the titan

[lusty dove]

is final doom canon to the new games lol?

[haughty flower]

Oh I thought they were sequels to doom 2

[lusty dove]

sequels in terms of gameplay

[haughty flower]

Not canon?

[lusty dove]

story was not the focus back in those days, sorta just an afterthought tacked on after

[haughty flower]

Ah

[lusty dove]

there wasnt really a 'canon'

[lusty dove]

anyways for making custom weapons for gzdoom, you can look up a zscript tutorial

[haughty flower]

Ok

Any way for sprite editing?

[lusty dove]

your image editor of choice

and slade for resource management and to get the sprites from the doom wad

[haughty flower]

Ok

[harsh cedar]

Nothing good can come from a house fire

[fading quartz]

awesome map

[torpid lichen]

How do I load a map I made form Doombuilder onto GZdoom? Whenever I do it just starts on the first doom 2 map

some youtube thing said soemthing abput it being a patch .wad but id how to change that

also the weapons I place down are different every time, is there a way to make them be the exact weapon i want consistently

using ultimate doom builder

[onyx scroll]

this shouldn't be happening unless you're using another mod alongside your map

[onyx scroll]

also, how are you starting the game? (using a launcher, using the command line, running the map straight from UDB)

if it's the first two, make sure you are loading in the WAD of your map

[torpid lichen]

there is, i'm using the Starship Troopers mod

[torpid lichen]

running it straight, but i wanna load it in alongside the full STdoom mod (i.e. the hud)

[onyx scroll]

ok, so you familar with the terminal?

or do you also have a launcher installed?

[onyx scroll]

that could be the reason why if the mod has randomization

[torpid lichen]

i see

no matter, adds variation to the whatver

[torpid lichen]

i'm gonna be completely honet dude i have no fucking idea what i'm doing

[onyx scroll]

ah

[torpid lichen]

I made the map, but idk about launchers or the terminal

[onyx scroll]

I'd say your best bet to make it easier on yourself is to install something like ZDL

[torpid lichen]

ok cool

and i drag the .wad into there?

[onyx scroll]

basically

you'd start up the program and add in your map and the mod

you'd also add in GZDoom as the port your using

[torpid lichen]

ok cool

[onyx scroll]

and that should be it

[torpid lichen]

it says source port but doesn't let me put anything in there

[onyx scroll]

there should be a plus button

haven't used ZDL in a while so pardon if I'm forgetting anything

oh wait, it's on another page in the application

[torpid lichen]

okay i'm just fiddling

[onyx scroll]

I was thinking of how my launcher works

[torpid lichen]

going to settings

[onyx scroll]

if you have more issues I'll download ZDL to help

[torpid lichen]

okay the issue is in loading ym custom map, i've loaded in but it still takes me to the default start level - is there a difference between wads and iwads

[onyx scroll]

yeah

[torpid lichen]

okay hang on

[onyx scroll]

IWADs are Doom 1, 2, and both Final Dooms

PWADs are custom maps and mods

[torpid lichen]

pwad meaning patch wad right?

[onyx scroll]

yes

sorry if my responses are delayed, playing a game at the moment

[torpid lichen]

no worries

is there a way to change the order of the patch wad in the sense that the custom level would load first?

[onyx scroll]

yeah, ZDL should let you do that with the arrows in the External Files section

[torpid lichen]

it won't work!! i'm gonna try find something on youtube

[onyx scroll]

why do you need the mod order to be different anyways?

[torpid lichen]

because whenever i try to load it the actual level i made doesn't show up. i think the mission's been put at the end or something and on account of there being no mission select i can't find itr

[onyx scroll]

use the -warp paramater in ZDL

you can specify the map your map was made on

[torpid lichen]

OH RIGHT I COMPLETELY FORGOT

i gotta go to bed though bc it’s midnight and i’m waking up to got shoot things with a shotgun at 7:30 tomorrow

DM me if you want to contribute to this cool project of mine...

[haughty flower]

Here's a demo of my mod:
Lemme know what you think guys...

[weak arrow]

whoa, similarly someone just made the dark ages shield x.com/CreeperOfSteam/status/1800033013881004087 Blocks, saws, can throw and retrieve

[weak arrow]

He posted the wad in a reply to that tweet

Now he needs to do the skull crusher gun that shoots skull fragments as it crushes. All about the animation on that one.

[pale forum]

i just figured out Slade is only aviable to be used to create textures, instead of maps itself

i thought you could directly make authentic WADs out of it

however i can't find any working links of doom builder

what programming language does doom builder offer?

[lusty dove]

you should use ultimate doom builder, just google it, for some reason the link is blocked here

[lusty dove]

well its primary feature is mapping, not programming, but it supports creating level scripts using acs

but thats mostly for doing basic stuff like scripted sequences in the level

[pale forum]

alright thanks

i'm more used to script with C++, that's why i asked

[weak arrow]

Yeah he worked super fast

[haughty flower]

Ok I need something, does anyone know about a good VHS, crt, or scale line filter for doom. I really want that retro feel

[pale forum]

do ya'll relase the WADs on Internet archieve?

[haughty flower]

Can anyone recomend me resource pack with some techbase orientated textures? Those in otex are not enough futuristic and in eday resources I also didnt really find what I wanted

I need something with d2016 vibes

[quick rose]

Hello from Japan!
I’m about to release my Mega WAD for Doom2 within this month!!
It’s first test version, include 2 completed maps.

[lusty dove]

No we release on doomworld

[quick rose]

How about moddb?

[lusty dove]

No

Well sometimes but mostly just doomworld

That is the place where the most people will see it. Also just want to note that it is not a megawad if it only has 2 maps

A megawad has 15 or more

[lusty dove]

You could try cc4-tex, it has a good variety of stuff like otex so it might have what you want

[quick rose]

Sorry for my bad English, I mean it’s contains 32 maps when all works are finished, it’s first test release and only 2 maps are completed yet.

[lusty dove]

Ah ok

[dusty heron]

Cool!

[quick rose]

So I’m decided to upload my mod on Doomworld and Moddb!!☺️

[jolly nymph]

yo anyone got a fix for the gate textures lookin like this?

[wise dragon]

it looks inspired before bionicle's saw shield

[quick rose]

I have solution!!
I was struggled with this problem too...
Just a moment...

[jolly nymph]

alright-

[quick rose]

If you want to get transparent this kind of textures, don’t set this texture as middle texture, please set it as upper or lower texture, and seeing its height With texture offset (bad English indeed😅)

[jolly nymph]

well about that-

ok uh

taking another look at what you said. its clear idk what im doing qwq

[quick rose]

Are you tried to lower texture to nothing?

[jolly nymph]

it's at 0

[quick rose]

Ok, maybe this is true solution.
You must set as middle texture for this kind of texture. Sorry I’m also don’t knowing well with this problem😞

[quick rose]

First, you should setting this sector’s celling height to equal to it’s neighbor sector’s height.
And set MIDBARS1 as middle texture.
And setting MIDBARS1’s height with texture offset. If you want to set the height of bar shorter, you can hide into lower texture to some texture by doing so.

By doing so, it can use with iron grate, or handrail😊 like this!

[jolly nymph]

but the texture only shows up when its on the upper.

also im sorry if im being annoying q~q

[haughty flower]

where is the reload script in brutal doom?

i want to modify it so it doesn't take any ammo away

[quick rose]

No no, don’t think yourself like that😊
I think it can everybody struggle with this kind of problem once when trying modding ... also I have it, and problems are happen every time!!!😇

[quick rose]

You actually setting sectors celling right?
I mean, if the neighbor ceilings are setting to 128, this sector celling is must be setting to 128
It looks like you set celling height to neighbor’s FLOOR

I mean, RED SECTOR’S CELLING is equal to GREEN CELLING
sorry if you can’t understand well due to my bad English

[jolly nymph]

its ok, i might just make it a large like containment tank. thanks for giving me the information tho.

what

[quick rose]

WOW. It’s cool I think!’

[jolly nymph]

i didnt even mean for that to happen
you see, the walls that raise up come from you getting the blue key.

it actually looks like this in game

if anyone wants to test this map out and gimme feedback your free to do so.
(note, this is my third map)

[quick rose]

Hmmm...
So the thing you want to do is iro grate door? (MIDBARS as a door texture)

[jolly nymph]

its mainly to show "hey, their making something big and dangerous here"
the lore is kinda similar to actual doom, this shows their either
A making these cyber enhanced demons
or
B trying to study them

so yeah, i wanted the grate door thing, but gave up. tho you could fix it if you want.
theres also a set of gates outside where the red key is used for decoration.

[quick rose]

Ok, I think grate door is can’t create with MIDBAR or this kind of texture.

Instead of it, it can create “grate-like” door with some thin sectors.

[jolly nymph]

yeah, well i cant do that since i cant seem to find where i deactivate grid snapping.

[onyx scroll]

just lower the size of the grid to like 8mp

you should be able to find the box to change it in the bottom right

[jolly nymph]

THANK YOU

this has been driving me nuts for the longest time-

[quick rose]

like this!

and i know it is unfinished and you're going to spend more time for this map,but I think you should choose wall texture more carefully!
Decolations are good, difficulty is slightly easy for me.(I feel difficulty is like a Episode 1 of DOOM)
total mood is sooo"DOOMY"and I LOVE this mood, so if you care more about the details, it can be much mooooore fantastic MAP!!
keep going!!

Server room?

[weak arrow]

Cacodemon rescue shelter

[jolly nymph]

i guess lol

[quick rose]

Noooo LMAO

the map even not released became meme😂

[jolly nymph]

i have updated this map once more. gimme feedback

[weak arrow]

WAD idea. Cacodemon as a tamagotchi. Have to feed him enemies, clean up after him etc

[vivid nymph]

Showtime Mod: Master wand Shrapnel alt

[quick rose]

cute!

[vivid nymph]

Thanks. I'm adding it into the next update of my mod.

[quick rose]

Yayyyy! It's new feature‼️‼️🤘🤘

[shut crane]

If I use as a format Gzdoom UMDF but I don't use any of the gzdoom features, is the wad compatible with DSDA Doom?

[weak arrow]

I need to track down some explanation of the features and compatibility for each of those formats.

I'm looking through these
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0WaN0KHuaM
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/121206-which-game-configuration-should-i-use-ultimate-doom-builder/
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/120031-mapping-formats-what-does-what/

You could try loading a known UDMF WAD with a good amount of features into DSDA

This seems to indicate that DSDA added (beta) support for UDMF https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/136143-dsda-doom-v0262-udmf-2023-06-04/
The github readme for DSDA lists it as UDMF compatible https://github.com/kraflab/dsda-doom as does the DSDA wiki https://doomwiki.org/wiki/DSDA-Doom.
So overall I'd say yes, it is compatible, but it is a different source port so I'd still test the wad.

[haughty flower]

wheres the reload script at for mods? i want infinite ammo in brutal doom

[weak arrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/6t2oz8/brutal_doom_console_commands_list/

Pretty easily googleable

[slate maple]

Soon!

[jolly nymph]

still working on this
(note: the yellow key's area will be made, this is just for this copy

[lofty pier]

This is the beginning of a project i didn't finish but might return to. I was a bit over my head and I really need to practice good enemy placements

(ignore the skybox it was a place holder)

[weak arrow]

This reminds me of the icy level (robotics facility) on dark forces. It had canals kinda like this.

[quick rose]

Imp.lmp

Confusing

[quick rose]

I think 3 Cyberdemons and 1 Spyder mastermind in behind and a lot of archnotoron in front is a bad idea
I Cannot clear...
Except for this, the difficulty is quite good! Or maybe it’s OK if you reduce some monsters.
The level’s curve of difficulty is too sharp, More moderate is better, I think.
The supply volumes of items are ok, but I think if it put on a whole around a map, not aggregate on a one place(especially Shotgun’s ammo), it will be better.
The gimmick that when I got key is very “DOOMy”and I love that, it’s very nice!! Total mood is still great, keep goinnnnnn~

and the last thing is...

I LOVE BARRELS.(oh no there is no barrel’s emoji)

Oh, I also noticed that when I try to get blue key, I move very carefully and I managed to got it with no gimmicks activate. You should reconsider about the place of this gimmick’s trigger line!

[jolly nymph]

yeah the entire blue key room has been remade
i also believe ammo should be spread around more.
if you had any trouble with the mancubus i have moved the main server to provide more cover from him.

[jolly nymph]

instead of making it a line. ill make it a square sector

blue key remade. you now need to figure out good paths to the lifts to get to the skull keys.(there is a bug, and exploit. since i cant make the pillers only unlock with skull keys, you could skip this entire arena if you wanted. . . which i might change. cus i dont want you to just skip this fight, should i change anything?

[quick rose]

he is poor, traped in jail with server that too small space for him😂

[jolly nymph]

(also my friend is the reason for the fuck ton of imps. blame neo for that

[jolly nymph]

and he also aciddentally reveals a secret qwq

[quick rose]

yeah i saw that😅😅

[jolly nymph]

so hows this?

[quick rose]

if you want to create more "locked door", create "remote door"(the door open by switch which far from it) is good solution!

so you should create Switch, instead of put key

[jolly nymph]

ok, thanks thata a good idea

[jolly nymph]

ok, as i was doing stuff. something casued these 4 zombies to turn into 1 hell knight, 2 barons, and one arachnotron. . . somehow-

i got jumpscared by em when i played the map

the arachno got stuck, while the others three were free, gave me a mini heart attack-

[quick rose]

arachno is bigger than other daemons, but I didn't noticed that till when I started to create own map

[jolly nymph]

heres my third attempt at a map, second one to actually be finished. gimme your guys honest opinions on it

[weak arrow]

There are some small polishing touches you could put on it per Romero’s rules for transitions, doorways, etc https://youtu.be/ptHurafdCoQ?si=94mQyac9CmX1r9iN

[jolly nymph]

ight, but hows the fighting, are there any note worth parts? good and bad pls

[haughty flower]

i use gzdoom...

and idk how to do that exactly. I tried making a pk3 file but that didnt do anything lol

[onyx scroll]

Brutal Doom requires GZDoom, so all those sources would work for it

[haughty flower]

ok but i dont know how to bind a command to give myself ammo each time i fire

im so lost right now

[onyx scroll]

y'know the command to give you infinite ammo or no?

[haughty flower]

i didnt find one

and the gzdoom option doesn't work either because of the reloading

[onyx scroll]

ah

well, I never used Brutal Doom so I wouldn't know how it's ammo is separate from IDKFA

played it and yeah, IDKFA does not effect reloading

I could scrumage through the PK3 to possibly find the script

it'll take me like a couple days to a week, which I don't have the time for

if Brutal Doom has a console command that turns reloading on/off, you could make a bind in your autorun file

it'd basically give you infinite ammo while turning off reloading

[haughty flower]

i could look for that

whats an autorun file?

[onyx scroll]

it's actually autoexec (my bad), anyways

it's a file you need to create in your GZDoom directory, named autoexec.cfg

you can put any console commands you want in there and it'll run when you boot up the game, useful for custom binds like I have

if you want an example, I could send over my autoexec

as in how you can make binds and stuff

[haughty flower]

sure

do you know what a_takeinventory does?

[onyx scroll]

sadly no

I don't work with GZ so I barely know any console commands

[haughty flower]

dang

[onyx scroll]

anyways

this isn't my whole file, merely a line of it so I can explain it a bit

bind F1 "echo Advanced Movement On ; sv_jump false ; sv_crouch false ; freelook true ; autoaim 0 ; crosshair 7"

all those semicolons separate each command

the quotes are needed so all of those commands run at once when you hit the F1 key

echo isn't needed for anything but I have it for conformation that I had pressed it

[haughty flower]

ok i think i understand

[onyx scroll]

if you've seen messages in the top left of your screen while playing (like picking up items), echo will make one of those messages

[haughty flower]

ahh gotcha

[onyx scroll]

I have two binds for Advanced Movement, the one you see so I can turn it on, and another to turn it all off

it's just because the toggle commands sometimes break

[haughty flower]

ok

[onyx scroll]

I suggest having a string of commands that turn on your default stuff, like having reloading on and stuff (assuming you run Brutal Doom all the time)

[haughty flower]

ahh alright i think i could try it. thanks for helping me!

[haughty flower]

is it supposed to all be in 1 line? it didnt work

[onyx scroll]

show me what you have

a single command is on one line

[onyx scroll]

this is considered a single command

[haughty flower]

bind * "echo reloading is disabled! ; bd_reloading=false"
bind + "echo reloading is enabled!; bd_reloading=true"

[onyx scroll]

don't have an equals

also, you need a space for the semi colon on the second command

[haughty flower]

oh alright

it should run automatically right?

[onyx scroll]

yeah

they will be binded automatically

[haughty flower]

hmm its seems to not work idk if im doing it right

[onyx scroll]

are you pressing the binds?

[haughty flower]

yes

[onyx scroll]

also, don't use any keys that require to be shifted (like both of the ones you're using)

[haughty flower]

oh

[onyx scroll]

wait, it works

[haughty flower]

i was using numberpad

[onyx scroll]

it might be just because one of them you're using is already bound to screensize

[haughty flower]

oh

[onyx scroll]

I'd say just use the function keys

actually, save functions are bound to some of them so that might not be the best idea

I know [ and ] work

[haughty flower]

ok

[onyx scroll]

I personally use the first 4 function keys

because I don't quick save

[haughty flower]

WORKED

thanks so much man!

[onyx scroll]

also, if you want

you can enable/disable infinite ammo in those commands if you want

at least I think there's a command for that

sv_infiniteammo

[haughty flower]

its a setting in gzdoom as well

yeah i remembered that one

[haughty flower]

is there a way to dualbind a key?

like if i wanted to fire and do something else?

[onyx scroll]

yeah, my example does that

infact, your's does

[haughty flower]

lol im kinda stupid sometimes

[onyx scroll]

you're good man

I spend like 5 days once trying to debug something to just find out a variable was one letter wrong

[dusty canopy]

I made a doom mod pretty quickly. It's not finished, but the idea is to make enemies more tough on their own, but still filling their role (quality over quantity). The name is Quakelike because Quake had less ability to run multiple enemies, so the solution was to make tougher enemies rather than more.

Changes:
Zombieman:

• More agressive
• Fire burst shots
  Shotgunguy:
• More agressive
• Faster walk
  Revenant:
• Explosive projectiles
  I used WhackEd (Extended DeHackEd).

[quick rose]

WOwwww Thats a lot of progress there!!!!
first, I love the entryway to building that add to the very first of the map!! It's incredibly nice stage making!!
but still a lot of work to do with Red door section.
the mancubus's secret area's door's side texture and it pegging setting is looks like incorrect!
and blue keycard is still can get without activate any gimmick.
and somehow... the celling is falling lolololol(see screenshots) it may some bug but personally, I like that lol😂
and I can't get this items.(See screenshots) it is ok to crouch in this map?
final section is just like pure DOOM, or F**KING HELL VERSION OF RIO'S CARNIVAL or something LMAO i love it
gibbing soooo much imps with RPG is one of the most "antistress" moment lol
and the final surprise is... PURELY NIGHTMARE.

overall, you should still work on wall's texture! like setting offset, change texture for better graphic design. but map design is good!
I like your map and work! it become better and better over time!! and it'll more more better!!

[shut crane]

Doom x Lovecraft?

[jolly nymph]

ok first of all. yes the lowering stuff are bugs. i just learned to live with it.
yes crouching is ok
i tried to make the secret path large enough for the mancubus to go through, but it didnt work, thats why it looks so wonky.
ok, now thats weird. i made it a square sector. i guess i should just make the whole sector trigger it then lol
yeah, you can thank neo for the shit ton of imps.
ah i see you saw my farewell card >:)

yeah the whole border on texture thing. i didnt really know about it till i watched the video about john's 8 golden rules about mapping.

[shut crane]

Which format did you use?

[jolly nymph]

uhhhhhh- tbh i dont remember qwq

let me check

[shut crane]

It's days I am thinking which format I should use to make the map playable on every sourceport possible

[jolly nymph]

here you go

[shut crane]

Thanks

I think I'll use crispy doom for map testing, so I'm 100% confident it'll work on most sourceports

[jolly nymph]

ok

[slate maple]

Yes, lovecraft hell is part of the story

[quick rose]

generally, almost monsters are weak on go through step, so make sure flat the way that you want to monsters to go to

[quick rose]

I talked about mancubus's problem

[shut crane]

I finished the first level, I wanna know your opinions

It's compatible with all sourceports (I tried on crispy doom and prboom+ so I think it's runnable on every major sourceport)

[quick rose]

@jolly nymph i'm very impressed your map's "entryway-garden"(the very first section)so I want to borrow your idea to my map!
It's ok?🙂

[dusty canopy]

I like it. Pretty fun and easy to read first level. I could tell where to go quite easily.

[shut crane]

Is there anything I could improve?

[dusty canopy]

I dunno. I ain't the best with level design.

Prob not the best reviewer.

[shut crane]

Still thanks

[dusty canopy]

It is still clear on where to go, and I like that. It sucks having to circle around a map 5 times to figure out where to go next. Though, in this map's case, it's probably easy to find where to go due to being short.

[shut crane]

I will maintain the levels as short but still action-packed and fun.

[dusty canopy]

Honestly, I feel like I should have done a first run demo.

That prob could have helped.

[jolly nymph]

its a nice and simple straight to the point first go.
i didnt notice the secrets on my first go. and the chaingunners did startle me at first. but what surprised me the most was the length. but over all. its very nice.

tho something i noticed is that you could only get the teleporter to work from if you went a certain way. maybe change it to be like the second screenshot.
tho this is only the most minor of things i noticed

[dusty canopy]

That was a teleporter?

It turns out it is.

[dusty canopy]

I made a version 2 of my sandbox map. The change is that I made a room about portals. Feel free to try, and know the level has no exit and it's mainly about messing with commands and stuff. I originally made it because I felt no map was big enough for messing around (other than nuts.wad).

[jolly nymph]

ey, sure, just make sure to credit me

sorry for the late reply btw

[bitter flame]

So I just installed Doom on my modded "new" 3ds following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtAjHdbDh1Y (except with my own legitimately aquired IWAD). It works but I am also trying to add this boiled doom version (https://www.moddb.com/mods/boiled-doom-brutal-doom-for-doschocolate/downloads/boiled-doom-al-dente-v-09). When I start the app there is only the option to play Doom 1 (shareware) or Doom 2. Then it just goes straight to the game with no option to use boiled doom. Does anyone know how I get Doom 2 (and maybe a map pack) it working with boiled doom?

The mod wad and deh are in the same folder as the IWADS. I tried using the ingame menu config and it sadly didn't work.

[shut crane]

That's because it's a one time teleporter and I didn't want any softlock or something like that

[quick rose]

Thx!☺️
I'll credit you on README file‼️

[dusty canopy]

Fake. I don't know what u.to is, but it seems suspicous

If you have to hide it behind a fake link, it's probably not safe.

[quick rose]

its redirect to "steamconmunijty.com".
...phishing!!!

[dusty canopy]

Also, off topic too.

[quick rose]

maybe this account is being attack such as steal or virus...

[dusty canopy]

What is their history on this community?

[quick rose]

idk but this account joined to this community from 2021...

[dusty canopy]

They've been here for long, but have no messages. Weird.

[quick rose]

🤔🤔🤔

[dusty canopy]

prob correct

[lapis hornet]

Question for mapping, I'm new, how to i remove the default levels from my wad? like currently when you complete the first and currently only level of my wad it sends you to underhalls instead of the slideshow thing with the monster sprites, whatever its called, as well as a few side questions, how do i change the sky and how do i change the name of my levels??

[onyx scroll]

I don’t think you can remove the default levels at all. You can only replace them. GZDoom or some other modding standard might have something that allows you to skip all other levels and get to the end but vanilla wise, you can’t.

[lapis hornet]

K, but how do i do that? or atleast where can i learn to do that?

[onyx scroll]

I don’t even know if you can. I’d say just do the research yourself

[lapis hornet]

oh ok, also how do i use wall textures as floor textures and vice versa, when im changing the textures for ceilings and floors and whatnot i only see the ceiling and wall surface textures, is there any way to select the wall textures

[onyx scroll]

They’re two separate texture types actually, so you can’t

[lapis hornet]

ok

[onyx scroll]

For your two original side questions, Doomkid has tutorials for both on YouTube

Both vanilla compatible iirc

Though, I think both can be done with UMAPINFO as well, although I’ve never used it so I wouldn’t be able to you how to do it

I’d say UMAPINFO would probably be the easiest way

[jolly nymph]

not mine. its this one. i just showed a fix for the teleporter

[jolly nymph]

if you want my map, here it is

[lapis hornet]

i was looking into a map (that i didn't make) and the sky looks like this: what does it mean? why is it like that? also im using doom2 and Ulitimate doom editor

how is it caused?

[lapis hornet]

how do i turn my map into udmf format?

also why ISNT it UDMF format\

[wraith pebble]

R.i.p daisy tho

[wraith pebble]

Fr

[hollow inlet]

you activated the advanced rendering or whatever, and dont have a sky texture for the map

you need some stuff in the mapinfo lump :p

[jolly nymph]

this is pretty good. found the first secret, didnt find the second one tho. my only death was to the baron i had thought the mines would of been a custom map, but nope. tho the custom music was really good.

[lapis hornet]

help, i was trying to edit an old map of mine and now all of the sudden all the doors when interacted with just act as if they are level end doros

this only occured after i edited a bunch and play tested it, but i didnt make any changes to the doors properties or tags, and they arent designated as exits

they're red in the minimap as if they are exits

[whole blade]

this only occured after i edited a bunch

[lyric jay]

Hey, I've been wanting to get into the classic DOOM modding but I really don't know how, any tips?

[short dock]

[slate maple]

adding invasion mechanic to my maps. You collect a single rune at the end of each episdoe. The more runes you have, the higher chance for demon invasions and random encounters. This is very tricky to put in

[slate maple]

The Hub. If you played Quake 1, you would know how it works

[hollow inlet]

thats sick

[hollow inlet]

theres many many source ports but.. just get gzdoom. for.. ig normal stuff x3
if you want more vanilla stuff get crispy doom or like woof or smth (im not the best to explain source ports)

and then just download .pk3's or .wads and drag them into the gzdoom.exe or whatever port you use

[onyx scroll]

Adding on to this here. If you want to make sure your map will run in the original executables, use Chocolate Doom.

[hollow inlet]

..exactly.

[slate maple]

EP1-5 should be available for testing in July if things go to plan. More information at Doomworld. I am updating the promo page right now so ill link it soon

[onyx scroll]

I wouldn’t recommend Slade 3 for mapping. UDB is a much better tool for that.

[slate maple]

UDB all the way

[hollow inlet]

wth is gzdoom builder

[onyx scroll]

Yeah, UDB is forked from GZB

[onyx scroll]

I was just adding on to your message but forgot to not ping you

But yeah, Slade’s main purpose is to edit WADs, its secondary feature is it’s mapping components

Slade’s the best for the former, ok for the latter

[slate maple]

Promo page. https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/130278-the-eldritch-runes-of-discord-beta/

[onyx scroll]

It looks neat

[shut crane]

How do I make teleporting monsters?

[onyx scroll]

As in they teleport into the room?

[shut crane]

Yeah

[onyx scroll]

So first, you need to make a room outside of your actual map and join the room you intend for them to teleport in to that room you just made.
Second, you need to make a lowering floor in the room (triggered by whatever you want to be walked over/pressed for the monsters to spawn in) and make a teleport line.
Third, put the enemies you wish to teleport behind the wall so they don't walk into the line until whatever is triggered.
Fourth, put an enemy in the room where you want the enemies to teleport (to wake up enemies in closet).

The rest is like setting up a teleporter for the player, pretty much

[shut crane]

Ok thanks, so I use floor that goes down and not lift?

[onyx scroll]

yeah

so it's a barrier before it gets lowered

because the enemies will get waken up by you shooting the enemy placed in step 4

well, you could omit the wall if you wish

[shut crane]

I followed the steps but doesn't seem to work

[onyx scroll]

I would double check your map but I don't have access to my main rig atm.
I know this seems lazy of me but want a mapping tutorial you can follow instead?

[shut crane]

It would be appreciated

80s?

[lyric jay]

Didn't you mean 90s or something like that?

[hollow inlet]

80s doom gaming

[tulip canopy]

could someone tell me how to install brutal doom to doom 2

[sly locust]

Pc?

[opaque sage]

i would like to know that as well

[onyx scroll]

First, you’d need to install a port called GZDoom.
Install a launcher (like ZDL) if you do not know how to open/use a command line.
Find the ModDB page for Brutal Doom and download it. Extract the archive if there is one, you should get the .pk3 from it.
Grab the IWAD of either Doom 1 or 2 from your download of the game. Put into GZDoom.
If using launcher: search up how to use it and launch with IWAD of choice, GZDoom as port, and Brutal Doom as an external file.
Using command line: navigate to GZDoom and type gzdoom -iwad (name of IWAD + extension) -file (name of brutal doom pk3 + extension)

I currently cannot help debug anything that goes wrong, so sorry for that.

[lapis hornet]

is a mancubus in a tight hallway that can only fit two mancubui in the first level where the player only has the shotgun, pistol and chainsaw a good idea? what could i use alternatively?

Oh god, 'nother problem, i was using ultimate doom builder and i accidentally hit a few keys and now my grid is resized and its not dynamic with the zoom anymore (NVM, FIXED)

[sterile schooner]

I think it's fine, SSG can take them out in like 3 shots so 8 shotgun shots should be fine to take it out. For a first level it's a decent challenge

[lapis hornet]

thanks for your advice :D

[lapis hornet]

how am i using GZDOOM, isnt it Ultimate doom editor

I used to use slade

[lapis hornet]

how do i make custom intermission screens?

[lapis hornet]

what is that?

[onyx scroll]

as in the background I’m assuming?

[lapis hornet]

no the text

[onyx scroll]

oh, you need the tool I was gonna say for both

which level, by the way?

[lapis hornet]

umm i want to be able to put in my own intermission screens inbetween levels that normally dont have an intermission screen

[onyx scroll]

oh, that intermission screen

that’s something I have absolutely no clue how to do or if you can do it

I know how to change the text of them, but not add in new ones

[lapis hornet]

k

[onyx scroll]

I’d assume ZScript has something you can do to add in custom screens, though

[lapis hornet]

what is ZScript?

[onyx scroll]

a scripting language for GZDoom

one out of the few you can use

Yet again, as it’s not vanilla it’s not something I’ve ever used. There’s documentation for it on the ZDoom Docs Github page

Scratch what I had said, did a second look through and it appears a lot of it is not finished

The ZScript Language section appears to be complete though

[lapis hornet]

ok

[onyx scroll]

Ok yeah, double scratch it. The repo has not been updated in 5 years.

I would say just look up YT tutorials for exactly what you’re looking for and see if it’s possible

I wouldn’t trust those docs for modern versions of ZScript

Really sorry for my lack of help

[lapis hornet]

nah its ok

[lapis hornet]

yea?

nah too busy working on my wad

[lapis hornet]

goin good, dont have a name for it yet though.

[lapis hornet]

uhh wydm?

its a multi-map wad

also, i don't know if this is frowned upon in the community but its like, a total overhaul of another persons map, kind of like what black mesa did to half life, except its a doom wad, its also my first attempt at a good mapset

i think its a good place to start and learn skills

oh

[lapis hornet]

how do i become able to click this stuff, why arent i able to interact with it

[warm reef]

how do i get started with map building?

[whole blade]

what format are you in (iirc those features are only supported by gzdoom)

[lapis hornet]

idk how to make my format gzdoom

its made for GZdoom but i dont know about thaet

[quick rose]

that expression of light

[lapis hornet]

no

[jolly nymph]

does anyone have any idea how to give enemies their own sounds? i dont want my reskined enemies to share sounds between eachother. could anyone gimme some help?

[onyx scroll]

Could you explain why? I’ve only ever used DBX and UDB, both of which are portable archives, which were easier to me

Never used the installers personally

I’ve always preferred portability with a lot of stuff

Sadly no, at least in a vanilla way. Don’t know how to in GZDoom either.

[weak arrow]

Make a custom weapon that’s just him giving monsters a thumbs up

[onyx scroll]

That’s definitely a way to do it lol

[weak arrow]

a power up to give two thumbs up (dual wield) and “shooting” makes him say Borat phrases like “great success!” And “very nice!”

I guess you could make an invisible weapon that does nothing

[lapis hornet]

its my dog

[onyx scroll]

Asking the same question

[jolly nymph]

why.

just why.

[opaque sage]

how do i install brutal doom mod

[still stump]

Watch this video
https://youtu.be/JhOaie0Z5UE?si=C09RJeys7hTX5Ki4

[zinc ingot]

What are some good doom pk3/wads are there (not including brutal doom and myhouse or corruption cards)

[quick rose]

now it's time to scripting~~~!!!
You can change the setting of enemies and weapons such as damage, moving, or HP... with some script.
IDK much about that but I think it can with DECORATE script.

[onyx scroll]

I liked Tangerine Nightmare. Only 8 maps, though.

[zinc ingot]

I just go into gzdoom recently thats why I'm asking (been a fan for a while)

[onyx scroll]

Oh, you want stuff that utilizes GZ’s features?

Sadly I wouldn’t know anything due to my lack of knowledge on GZDoom maps.

Tangerine Nightmare’s still a good WAD if you ever want to play it, though. Just be aware it was designed around vanilla.

[zinc ingot]

I'm just want some pk3 files to play mods or wads for decent maps (not including brutal doom or myhouse)

[hollow inlet]

i mean.. yeah but i dont wanna play mp rn

[hollow inlet]

play doom infinite :p

[zinc ingot]

Ok thx

[quick rose]

doom Infinite. Hyper incredible mod but i think It has a very little bit of unstable game balance and bit of "Luck-game" like things.

it is super incredible tho

[jolly nymph]

decorate? ive heard that term before, do i need a seperate thing, or can i continue to use slade?

[onyx scroll]

You can use Slade for it

[jolly nymph]

ok, do i need to make my own decorate file, or is there one from the original wad's i can just yoink. cus im new to this.

[onyx scroll]

You need to make your own. The original executables had no support for any scripting language

What you need to call the lump, I wouldn’t know

I’d assume call it DECORATE

Apparently, it has been deprecated and ZScript should be used instead

[lapis hornet]

If i import a directory like a texture pack to my WAD in Doom builder, will it still work if the directory is no longer on the computer? i mean currently i imported my textures into my wad with slade, but im not exactly how sure how well i did it

i mean i can see the textures and when i play they work 🤷‍♂️ but if i dont import it to slade will it still work?

also are there any decoration packs you can find similar to how you can find textures?

[lapis hornet]

HELP HOW DO I IMPORT CUSTOM TEXTURSE IT NO WORK, when i run my map with custom textures in the doombuilter test, they are there, but when i run it with doomrunner, the textures are errors. i have the folders in slade too what is wrong

Those files are the textures

honest to god if i can figure this out this might just be the best first wad ever made

do custom textures even work in a .WAD?

I mean, i learned to do a custom sky and it works no matter what

[jolly nymph]

does anyone have default doom monster templates?
my reason for asking is so i can add code that gives them their own sounds, so they dont reuse sounds like the mankubi using the zombieman sounds or every other demon (caco's to cyberdemons) using the pinkies roaming and pain sounds.

[weak arrow]

watch the chubzdoomer videos and read the docs

[weak arrow]

The best first wad ever made is called DOOM

[slate maple]

Several playtests to go on each difficulty and my megawad should be ready. Episode 6 will not be completed until next QC 2025, and i hope to have it 100% done by then so i can focus on a new project

[lapis hornet]

ok i knew that but i need help

omg

i did it! i lean to import custom texture! :D

take that john romeo /j

[lapis hornet]

im joking chill

i suck at mapping

[hollow inlet]

its a roguelike.

ofc theres luck elements :P
but yeah it might crash a bit especially with the newest version of gzdoom i believe

[weak arrow]

does it generate / randomize the maps? If so I'm curious how they achieved that

looks like maybe it's just monsters and guns that are randomized

[hollow inlet]

sort of

it takes all doom 1 and one doom 2 maps and randomizes aspects

so.. acid rain, giant fucking eye in the sky that inflicts debuffs over time, water turns to mud or lava, ceilings turn to sky, that sorta thing

[weak arrow]

yeah, would be interesting to read the scripts for it

I see that zscript has a random function but I'd like to see how they are slotting stuff in

probably something similar to this from a random search https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQB_qIQQ8uY

I haven't explored enough to know what boundaries zscript has on the engine. I think gzdoom still uses the bsp data structures but there's also some destructability. It's unclear to me atm how much you can script if any to influence level geometry, relocate sectors and lines, make new sectors and lines, delete them, retag, etc

The wiki said there was an attempt to use dynamic data instead of the bsps with the build engine support effort but that eschewing bsps for direct sector definitions in wads was abandoned

it looks like helion may be trying it or has done it https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/132153-helion-c-0930-624-goodbye-bsp-tree-rendering/

The performance numbers Helion puts up seem impressive. I'm still skeptical that a game engine built on C#/.Net might have intermittent performance issues.

[quick rose]

of course SLADE has its editor

[quick rose]

Now I researched about what is rogue-like.
Well... maybe it’s not match to my preference cause I don’t like luck elements.
It’s feels like very unreasonable for me... come to think of it, I hate Mario party. It’s LUCKY AND UNLUCKY PARADISE!!😇

but yeah, DOOM infinite is very nice and fun to playing it!! I playing it every single day🥰

[lapis hornet]

Hey guys how do you create a trigger that changes the music in ultimate doom editor? is it even possible?

[weak arrow]

If you search around for “doom mod dynamic music” there are several forum posts and YouTube videos so I’m sure it’s possible. I saw a great one that changed tracks seamlessly when a power up was collected but I’m having trouble finding it. Not just switching tracks but it was like a different version of the same song that continued precisely at the same moment in the track

Maybe look into this https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=72207 https://youtu.be/n9pYiZKoV1k?si=SvqlyuWz31cuSAQ8

Some people have forked it and riffed on it https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=79111

[lusty dove]

i dont think that this is necessarily what they were asking for. they just said they wanted to change the music

[iron owl]

what multiplayer doom mods do you play?

[lusty dove]

deathmatch or coop

[iron owl]

both ^^

[lusty dove]

well idk for deathmatch but I played my favorite megawad called Eviternity coop with my friend and it was fun

it has extra monsters/items that only show up on multiplayer

[iron owl]

doesn't eviternity requires GZdoom tho?

[lusty dove]

and the designers added extra fixes to make sure players that respawn are not locked out of future areas or dont have to spend stupid amounts of time running to come back

[lusty dove]

no, it works on any mbf compatible source port

i prefer to play on woof for singleplayer but my friend and I used odamex to play it coop

not sure if it wouldd work for zandronum

[iron owl]

cool. might give it a try then. i'll see if i can grab a friend to try it out

i am using Qzandronum nowerdays.
it has built in fps limiter AND a parameter for all hitscan and projectile to hit right in the middle of the crosshair !!

[lusty dove]

ok

not sure if eviternity would have any issues there but you could try it

[iron owl]

it was created for QCDE but it does work well with anything zandronum compatible

[lusty dove]

yeah but im not sure if this is zandro compatible either

[iron owl]

i'll see

[lusty dove]

yeah its worth trying

lemme load it rq and see what happens

yeah seems to work

[weak arrow]

ah ok I thought they wanted some event to change music

[lusty dove]

yeah i think so too

but i just meant i dont think they were asking for some sophistocated smooth transition thing

you can change the music pretty easily using acs if you are doing gzdoom. Or if you are doing boom ports you can do it slightly more annoyingly but still pretty simple using MUSINFO

[lusty dove]

what source port are you creating for?

[weak arrow]

I figured if you looked at mods that did the fancier one it might have some interesting ideas. How often do people just load up other people's mods in UDB to learn?

[lusty dove]

I do this very often with maps

Also someone who’s a mod delete the scam

[hollow inlet]

lmao its not even close

you can buy things in shops and come across things like modpacks to heavily buff your guns

and across 10(?) different versions of zombies

[hollow inlet]

@royal wave :p

[royal wave]

👍

[hollow inlet]

silly

[lapis hornet]

HELP! i opened up slade this morning and now many of my textures are fucked up like this: WHY IS IT HAPPENING? How do i make my textures normal, the day prior i put in a few custom texture packs, but they weren't like this!

if you need more information, i will gladly give it

this also seems to affect Ultimate doom builder!

The patch names are totally normal

The "TEXTURES thing in slade is red, what does that mean???

The graphic files are fine too, but it seems to specifically effect the texturex files

[lapis hornet]

When i play the wad using DOOMRUNNER its fine... werid good god this makes me want to burst into tears

[lapis hornet]

help i deleted all my textures and re-added them now its fixed ✨ 2-3 hours well spent 😭

NOW MY MAPS ARE SCRAMBLED IM SO DONE WITH THIS MAN SOME OF THEM EVEN JUST GOT DELETED

[lapis hornet]

If im making my wad should i be going over every little detail so its perfect? or am i doing it wrong

[royal wave]

make it however you like

[worn drift]

Started making my first ever map. Udmf, gzdoom format. Mapname will be "voidwalker" .

[lusty dove]

looks awesome!

[worn drift]

There will be midi by Psyrus - Eclipse. That will help to understand the vibe of my map

[quick rose]

That moody🤘🤘

[lapis hornet]

If i remove a palette that a texture set adds with slade, will there be any issues?

will it revert to the default doom pallete?

bc i dont like it because i feel like the shade of blue it has is too cheery and bright for DooM

[wise dragon]

voidwalker kinda looks eerie when it looks dark and spooky, the maps looks like something from Heretic

[lusty dove]

Yes

[lusty dove]

It depends on what the palette changes

If it is just like adjusting the blue or green to a slightly different shade then it will probably be fine

[lapis hornet]

yeah thats what it does

[lusty dove]

But if it is making more drastic changes stuff may look wrong in the default palette

Can I see the custom palette?

[lapis hornet]

okey

oh wait, i dont think its a palette, slade says that its a colormap, there is GRAYMAP, REDMAP, BLUEMAP, GREENMAP, & YELLOMAP, i dont know if a colormap IS a palette, and i didn't add it, it came with a pack of textures i downloaded and inserted into my WAD

[gleaming pelican]

I'm working a really big megawad Doom mod

But I'm not sure if we're allowed to discuss like full on mods in this channel, but I'm looking for playtesters and no one on DoomWorld or in Entryway seems to be interested in trying it out

[lusty dove]

It probably has a colormap and a palette

[lapis hornet]

ah i see

[lusty dove]

Does it have a colormap just called COLORMAP?

[lapis hornet]

no

[lusty dove]

Ah ok

Yeah don't worry about those colormaps then

Those are just for colored lighting effects

Just delete the PLAYPAL lump. That's the palette

[lapis hornet]

are secret levels NESSECARY for people to like your wad?

[lusty dove]

No but they are very cool and people like them

Watch this video if you want ideas

https://youtube.com/watch?v=CDCrH-IFOh0&si=hLA25Kin2_Y6K2Jh

[weak arrow]

secrets are a rich tradition

similarly if you make an old school action RPG like Tunic and there are waterfalls there better be cool shit behind the waterfalls because Zelda

When there isn't it's a little bit of a let down and when there is players are like "hell yeah!"

Also, when you discover secrets it needs a satisfying sound or jingle. Again, tradition.

[hollow inlet]

just gonna bring this up since it seems they didnt get the problem resolved :p

[lapis hornet]

nah nah i got it resolved all i had to do was replace the maps and textures

[hollow inlet]

okay

[lapis hornet]

i just didn't say it was fixed because i have a suspicion that Slade is sentient and delibertiely toying with me

[weak arrow]

save backups / versions of your files when you've tested them

even better, use a revision control system like git

[mortal turret]

I hate caco.

[lapis hornet]

whats tha

[lapis hornet]

how do i add that?

well my wad is 18 or 20 levels that take like maybe 2-3 minutes per map, i find it fun, because its a fun little 40 minute thing

also how do i make good hell levels or levels in general, i am running out of ideas fast

whats your guys opinion of doom 3? i've never played it but it just makes me feel... icky

how do i add a custom secret jingle and also how to do i add something that when pressed, displays a custom message

[onyx scroll]

custom message more than likely requires scripting, custom secret jingle is just a lump which name I have forgotten

it’s DSSECRET

just rename any file you put into the archive to that and it should work

[lapis hornet]

oh, and is it possible to make a trigger that plays a custom audio file???

[onyx scroll]

dunno

[lapis hornet]

man doom mapping is so tiring

like nobodies gonna like my wad anyways because each level is like 1-3 minutes long, the secrets are the dumbest shit ever like a single health bonus, and YOU know that some corruption or error is gonna occur, the only reedeeming qualities about it are textures and decoration, which nobody cares about anyways

i mean yeah it might just be me being tired

[gentle zodiac]

i found an early demo of DOOM2.wad and i don't know where to leak it i found it on a weird website LEAK.NET that shut down recently and i got this file from it. it requires a passcode that even i dont know

[lapis hornet]

what do you guys like more? Brutal Doom or Project brutality, for me its Project Brutality, aside from the fact that doomguys voice in it sounds like scooby doo

[gentle zodiac]

brutal doom

[lapis hornet]

fair, its more vanilla

if your into that kind of thing

[gentle zodiac]

yeah

[lapis hornet]

is there like a visually remastered version of doom 2?

[onyx scroll]

no official one but you could probably use one of those RTX ports plus Voxel Doom

[lapis hornet]

thats not what i mean, like has someone made a wad that is almost the same as doom 2, but like the levels look better

[onyx scroll]

oh

I don’t personally know, honestly

[weak arrow]

google "remastered doom ii mod"

why are you frivolously atting the entire channel?

[weak arrow]

Don't do that

[lapis hornet]

Do you guys have any mapping tips on hell levels and how to make them good?

i'd say my wad is 70% done

[lusty dove]

Well there are many ways to interpret and visualize hell so it depends what you are trying to do

The download link is in the description, it's advised to use the shortcut given in the folder (gzdoom but we renamed it to make it a bit more accessible).

Else it will bug out and the keys won't work

[lapis hornet]

if i convert ny wad to UDMF, will it break things? how do i know that its UDMF?

also, should i be using GZDOOM builder or ultimate doom builder?

also, i was playing a cool horror map called "My house" and i notice it had some crazy shit like stuff that looks like sectors ontop of one another and slopes in doom??? how do i do stuff like that?

I typed in the action for line mirror and it says its unknown, 182, does my wad need to be UDMF or something?

[onyx scroll]

UDB is the successor to GZDoom Builder, so just use UDB

[lapis hornet]

ok but how do i convert my wad to UDMF without breaking it? if i convert it to UDMF will i instantly get all the cool shit like mirrors and whatnot

[onyx scroll]

Just change the format when opening the map in UDB and see what happens I suppose

[lapis hornet]

make a backup i guess????

[onyx scroll]

I’ve only really worked with vanilla compatible maps (with one exception) so I don’t exactly know what would happen

[onyx scroll]

Without a doubt always make backups no matter what you’re doing

[lapis hornet]

is making backups just saving another wad? like going into slade, selecting your wad, then /save as, and put in a new name?

or is there an actual way to make backups

[onyx scroll]

You can do that, or just copy/paste the WAD in File Explorer

I personally just do the old reliable and duplicate the WAD and rename it “asdfghjkl” or something like that

[lapis hornet]

Thats what i do , my wads name has gone through many beautiful iterations, beginning with fsdijfussd, moving onto HELP ME GOD.wad, and now, backup.wad

would you say that UDMF is more unstable than others, i've converted my wad and it seems perfectly fine, other than the fact that ultimate doom builder is trying to use the gzdoom.pk3 on my onedrive instead of the one in the gzdoom folder

[onyx scroll]

I wouldn’t know honestly

[lapis hornet]

omg all this new stuff is so exciting

[onyx scroll]

Portal are quite fun to experiment with

[lapis hornet]

i haven't tried them out yet

[onyx scroll]

Just an fyi, keep enough space behind the entrance portal so you can actually go through it

[lapis hornet]

okay

[onyx scroll]

The only time I’ve messed with UDMF was to debug someone’s map that had that exact problem

[lapis hornet]

help! i am using ultimate doom builder on another computer and instead of all the customizable options its just stuff like D1, W3 and whatnot with very specfic uses! how do i use the version with actual options??

[hollow inlet]

i made a whole map (mostly) around them

wanna try :3333

[hollow inlet]

oke

so uh, this isnt one level

this is a wad of 6 levels atm i think but the level i ment is level 4

i.. did dude

dummy check your messages

:3c

theres a messages thing..

oke

[onyx scroll]

I would but I don’t have my main computer at the moment, only my underpowered Linux box

[hollow inlet]

damn

[onyx scroll]

I’ll have access to my rig tomorrow, just DM me the map when you have the time

Is freelook, jumping, and/or crouching needed?

[lapis hornet]

WAIT SINCE WHEN COULD YOU HAVE UNDERWATER PHYSICS IN DOOM???? HOW???

[onyx scroll]

I’d assume that’s apart of UDMF somewhere

[lapis hornet]

from what i'm looking at, UDMF can also remove the sector on sector limitation

[lusty dove]

yep, gzdoom adds 3d floors

[lapis hornet]

holy moly

[lusty dove]

basically gzdoom isnt even the doom engine anymore, its just a completely different new game engine with none of the original limitations that just happens to be backwards compatible with all of the doom assets

[lapis hornet]

wait, which is the specail that makes a seamless portal

It's map that I create. run on BRUTAL DOOM

It's going to first release on July 1 for public test!!

[coral flume]

[dusty canopy]

This mod is not serious or meant to be balanced. I edited Imp fireballs. I don't know what I did before to make this mod, but that was the newest change. I won't say how. Prob needs ZDoom or GZDoom. I used Extended DeHackEd mode on WhackEd 4. I'd like to see first play demos (-demo (insert demo name here)).

There are probably gonna be many more changes later.

[bitter flame]

What game/level do you want played for the demo?

[dusty canopy]

Any level with imps.

Preferably one where you can dodge explosions.

[hollow inlet]

dum

[quick rose]

MEME THAT NO REASON

[dusty canopy]

: )

Not important, but feel free to make a demo of your first playthough. It won't help with level design.

Mod works best in doom software renderer imo.

[oblique jasper]

hi guys, why cant i see all the w\g\s variations for the door open linedef action? im using udmf, ultimate doom builder

[light prism]

look at the bottom half of that panel

where the red text is

its all split into flags now instead of being a 'variation' on an action

so in udmf you just tick what activation method/s apply

[lapis hornet]

guys i opened up udmf again after a week and now when i select things in visual mode theres no orange thing or any indication that im selecting it

[lusty dove]

press H

it toggles highlighting. This is useful if you want to see what a part of your map looks like without the highlighting to get in the way

[lapis hornet]

thanks :D

I'm looking at getting into map making, and I want to at least start with basic, vanilla-compatible single-player maps. Probably test them in Chocolate Doom. I'm looking at SLADE 3 for a map editor since it seems to be the biggest one with Linux compatibility if I understand properly. SLADE is asking about node builders and options for them, and I'm having a hard time finding clear information on what I should be choosing given my target. Are there any good resources I should be looking at?

Or resources for anything I should be aware of trying to make VDF maps? I think VDF is the right abbreviation for it

[upbeat idol]

I... think if I understand what I've seen properly, I can just use ZDBSP for the node builder, ignore the options for now, and as long as I set the port to "none" in SLADE when starting the map, I should be limited to VDF? And SLADE should just keep me in line on its own?

open GZDoomBuilder and load the map

[trail glade]

My first Map

[onyx scroll]

what IWAD and complevel?

[trail glade]

it's for Doom 2

[onyx scroll]

I'm just assuming GZDoom then due to the lack of info on what complevel it is and the fact it will not load on Woof due to a lack of sectors

[trail glade]

works with gzdoom

[onyx scroll]

I can tell now

It's decent. However my main gripe with it is that the border for what key the door needs is hidden by the door its self.
