[ornate wraith]

I'll pretend to know what that means

i don't plan on publishing this map, i just want to take screenshots

[silver gull]

So you can create a mod for Zdoom, and it'll work for Boom. it'll just skip stuff that Boom can't do. I think that's what it means anyway.

https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/GameInfo_definition This should tell you everything you need to figure it out though.

[ornate wraith]

so i should say mapinfo at the top of the text and not gameinfo?

[silver gull]

No. I think that's right. That sky1 way of doing it though is not for gameinfo. that's an old way of doing it

[ornate wraith]

I copy and pasted the script you posted earlier and took out all the non sky stuf

[silver gull]

This worked for me. So... maybe just grab a copy of F_Sky3 and name it whatever and copy that? It's like an outdated way of doing it though.

[ornate wraith]

i don't have a f_sky3 i just have a sky3

[silver gull]

hmmm. hopefully someone smarter than me can chime in on it. i'm not sure how Doom works with the sky.

I thought it should be

gameinfo {SkyFlatName = "MyCoolNewSky"}

Inside a MAPINFO lump, but apparently I'm not reading something right.

[ornate wraith]

I looked inthe wiki and the only thing about the sky i saw was SkyFlatName, but when I changed it the sky stayed the same, but I needed to use a different texture (the one I put in) to show it. I'm sorry about wasting your time I don't know much about Slade and zdoom and whatnot

[silver gull]

"Sky3" or "F_SKY3"

[ornate wraith]

sky3

[silver gull]

I thought if I just did it like it shows you how to do it it would work, but apparently you have to be one with satan or something

[ornate wraith]

yea looks like the only thing that command does is change what texture you need to use to represent the sky, instead of changing the sky itself

I changed it to f_sky3, a texture I don't have, and when I applied it to the roof it just showed the default sky.

[silver gull]

map MAP01 "Strange Worlds"
{
LevelNum = 1

sky1 = "F_SKY3" //or "SKY3"
music = "MAPWD06"
nojump
nocrouch
PAR = 90
LIGHTNING

}

Gameinfo {
SkyFlatTexture = "Sky3" //or F_sky3
}

that works

[ornate wraith]

do i need the map name or can I just leave it out

[silver gull]

map MAP01 "Strange Worlds"
{
LevelNum = 1

sky1 = "SKY2"
music = "MAPWD06"
nojump
nocrouch
PAR = 90
LIGHTNING

}

gameinfo {Sky1 = "SKY2"}

IDK

[ornate wraith]

i'll check manually

[silver gull]

"Your name Here"

[ornate wraith]

I don't think i my map has a name, when i look in the wad it just says map01

[silver gull]

that's how you name it

[ornate wraith]

oh

[silver gull]

Whatever you chagne that to will show up on your automap

but it worked. it's the city sky now

[ornate wraith]

should this work?

[silver gull]

no. you're missing ys

[ornate wraith]

ys?

[silver gull]

sk3 should be sky3

[ornate wraith]

oh

in the map editor i can see the new sky box but there's a script error on line 10

[silver gull]

change it back to ZMAPINFO if you changed it to MAPINFO

[ornate wraith]

it's still zmap info, appearently the last } is causing the problem

i made a new line break so the error is on line 11 now

[silver gull]

that's unessessary. it's closing something that was never opened

[ornate wraith]

i thought i directly copied you but i geuss not, i added in that }. huh

[silver gull]

map MAP01 "Strange Worlds"
{
LevelNum = 1

sky1 = "SKY2"
music = "MAPWD06"
nojump
nocrouch
PAR = 90
LIGHTNING

}

gameinfo {Sky1 = "SKY2"}

[ornate wraith]

ok i can open the map now, and in the map editor it shows the new skybox. ingame though it shows the old one

[silver gull]

Hmmm. Lol. Mine didn't show in the editor but did in the game.

Best practice would be to close UDB while working in slade. Maybe reload the resources.

In UDB

[ornate wraith]

i never have both programs open at the same time

[silver gull]

OK.

[ornate wraith]

how do i reload resources then

[silver gull]

Show me a SN of the lump and the code

Screen shot

[silver gull]

To reload in UDB I think it's tools, but you don't need to do that if you reopen the map every time

Is the map you're working on map01 in your wad file?

[ornate wraith]

yes

[silver gull]

Maybe try capitalizing it?

That's the only difference I can see.

[ornate wraith]

it is already

[silver gull]

No. SKY3

Instead of sky3

[ornate wraith]

got it

same problem

works in the editor but not ingame

[silver gull]

How about if you select ZMAPINFO and ctrl+D until it's at the bottom

[ornate wraith]

still dont work

[silver gull]

The way you had it before worked for me in my other one.

Yours:

you're using UDMF format?

[ornate wraith]

the only things i have are the sky stuff and the level num, what impact would the level num have?

[silver gull]

I'm not sure. It's already MAP01 so probably not much. I don't think anything necessarily needs to be defined.

[ornate wraith]

yea i just kept it in cuz it looked important

i removed it and it's still the same

[silver gull]

i can't understand why it doesn't work. i'm at the, "turn it off and turn it back on" stage with a hint of, "try blowing in it"

[ornate wraith]

yea ima reboot my computer. my monitor was bitching at me earlier about a pixel save mode so i should probably do that

[silver gull]

it's not going to work.

i'm kinda surprised no pro-doomers have chimed in

[ornate wraith]

ik, i had a windows update

[ornate wraith]

yea, where are the 110 year old ww2 winners to tell us how back in their day they had to use mouse and keyboard only to make their darn doom maps

[silver gull]

Instead of Sky1 in the gameinfo try Skyflatname = "SKY3"

map MAP01 "Into Satans Realm"
{
sky1 = "SKY3"
}
gameinfo
{
Skyflatname = "SKY3"
}

@ornate wraith

[ornate wraith]

sorry, i left to go eat and whatnot. I copied down what you had and it still doesn't work. Only difference is that I had to change the roof texture from f_sky1 to sky3

[worn drift]

So, I've made my first ever map.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulqQgVjB2-U
My own walkthrough, a bunch of cool doomtubers also completed it. Link to map in description .

[storm charm]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/penance-4/downloads/penance-4-arena-v11

[silver gull]

is that for Zandronum?

oh. i just saw it was

[storm charm]

new upcoming map for it entitled "Impera"

[silver gull]

Does Zandronum not support slopes?

Oh. there's some in the picture. I don't think I've seen slopes like that in a really long time.

[ornate wraith]

Sorry to budge in again, but I think an update may have broke something. I loaded up a map a made a couple of months ago, which has an open sky box. On the edge of the map there are fences, and behind those fences are untextured walls. Before those untextured walls would show the skybox as normal, but now they're all broken

[kind sentinel]

how can i fix this

[ornate wraith]

is dbimpact compatable with gzdoom? also i think the only executable there is gzdoom, so you may wanna check for an update or whether or not you put in the exe or the pk3

[kind sentinel]

i only put the too many super shotgun mode and it keeps saying that it failed to launch the app executable

should i just reinstall zdl and everything?

[ornate wraith]

does it work without the mod?

[kind sentinel]

no

[ornate wraith]

go into general settings and make sure your source port is gzdoom.exe and not gzdoom.pk3, i made that mistake before

[ornate wraith]

I also checked online, and people who have had this error before say it got fixed whenever they used folders or something. That's all I know, sorry that I can't help you more

[kind sentinel]

it worked Thanks a lot

[ornate wraith]

oh cool. i think zdl can only read things that it's in a folder with. i have a master folder for all my doom stuff, and i put the zdl folder into it along with gzdoom, doom2.wad, etc... I may be wrong though

[old turtle]

quick question about mapping, since ive never used ultimate doom builder before

what are these pyramids?

Oh, and how do I get rid of them?

[kind sentinel]

Can someone prefer me a map that has easy map design? (cuz i suck at solving finding a way)

[onyx scroll]

Tangerine Nightmare generally gave me no trouble navigating with the exception of like 2 maps.

[silver gull]

@old turtle They are for vertices. You can create geometry with them. They can be turned off with Alt+V or with this button.

You can click on them an use theh mousewheel to raise and lower them and accomplishh stuff like this.

Maybe this shows it better.

[old turtle]

Thank you!

[meager quartz]

Witchcraft!

[storm charm]

map name: Sub-Zero

[mighty kernel]

Woah

[meager quartz]

niiiiiiice!

[silver gull]

very nice. i like the color combos

I'm still slowly picking away on the archvile pool.

[potent cave]

i wish i knew how to make smooth and good gun sprites

any expert here to tell me how

all i've been doing is reskins

(first time doing it tho)

[silver gull]

all of a sudden when i go into my map. almost everything that's not a 3D floor has crushed in on itself. the only way to move is to no clip. how do i fix this?

it's lilke everything tagged 0 is squished

holy shit! okay. if that ever happens to anyone it's because you have a 3D control sector that hasn't been tagged. phew. wow!

[ornate wraith]

yo guys, anyone know how to change the skybox in udb zdoom format with zdoom acs scripting?

[lusty dove]

wrong channel. This channel is for discussing maps and mods for the original doom and doom 2 and their creation

[ornate wraith]

yo enator! still can't thank you enough for your help in my mapping project from a while back.

[lusty dove]

no problem! happy to help :)

[ornate wraith]

@silver gull dude I finally got it working, I just needed a single script. That's it... Sorry about the wasted time, but thanks a lot for helping me out

[ornate wraith]

anyone know why this might be? The walls, roofs, and walls, dissapear to show the skybox and the ground outside when at a ceritan distance, but when close up it's normal.

Ok i just made the map smaller, i had it really big because im making this map for screenshoting only and didn't want to get the fences that boxed in the map in photos

[old turtle]

amyone have some simple custom monsters I could use? maybe even some simple custom weapons too? Not really looking for anything crazy, and more just somewhat fitting into normal doom gameplay

[silver gull]

realm667.com

@old turtle

[old turtle]

thank you

[violet pebble]

So, in UDB, how can I be able to see wall textures without using the 3D viewer thing?

[royal wave]

switch to line mode, right click on the line you want to inspect

[sudden mason]

Right click on the line and go on the surfaces bit
If you're on formats such as UDMF there's a separate for back and front

[slate maple]

ive added armor to my megawad, It will reduce total damage by 10,20,30,40,50%. The cost of each armor goes up per upgrade.

the currency is slayer tokens. Here is one

[haughty flower]

Now I take a screenshot of that and duplicate them

[fleet trellis]

how do i merge mini wads, and how do i make and import custom sprites into UDB? Plz ping me

[onyx scroll]

Custom sprites are usually stored within the WAD it's self (so in short, use Slade to import the sprites). Merging WADs, I'd need to actually do myself.

[fleet trellis]

I know you need to do it manually i just dont know how

[onyx scroll]

Also, you'd need to put the texture into a different lump group depending on the texture

this tutorial may be what your looking for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huYF2KiilV4

[fleet trellis]

Thanks 😮

[old turtle]

Hey, kinda got a unique issue

Been scrounging around the doom alpha versions, and im struggling with alpha 0.5. I can load it up and play, but I cannot load into maps via commands

oh and using dosbox btw

[onyx scroll]

even with -warp?

not familiar with the alpha version as I can't get my hands on them, oldest version of the engine I got is v1.2

[old turtle]

Oh i got them easily, I can send them to ya too if you want, although you need DOSBOX to run them

[kind sentinel]

Is there a mode that can see the screen normal when I get a invulnerable powerup? I cant see anything whenever I use that powerup

[summer wolf]

got back into Doom mapping for the first time in a while, would like to think I'm cooking something good here

[old turtle]

This is looking pretty good! You are cooking

[summer wolf]

thanks

I've done only 2 maps before so I've tried to make something a bit more Doomy

[old turtle]

It's looking good!

Im currently also doing something doom like

[deep vessel]

Dunno if this should go here but I want to get into doom mapping and I’m working on a skybox. Do you guys think this looks good? I also wanted to know if I had the proper width and height to be put into a wad file

[summer wolf]

ooh that looks really good

also I'd say it's a good start, though you might want to try to make the glowing cross look more like it's part of the scenery

[onyx scroll]

DOSBOX, pfft. I got real hardware!
In all seriousness, I found the files so I can help you. How can I reproduce your issue?

[old turtle]

Go into 0.5, start it up, exit, and type in Doom e1m#

example

[onyx scroll]

try doing doom -warp 1 2

[old turtle]

ill try

like that? i tried and it just reset

[onyx scroll]

hmm

yeah, apparently those haven't been added in yet, getting the same thing

[old turtle]

okay

do you have the other alphas?

[onyx scroll]

nadda

but yeah, IDCLEVXX and -warp are both not implemented yet

[old turtle]

damn

my problem im having is I dont have anything to load the maps into some sort of builder

Ive tried both ultimate doom builder and slade, and both refuse to load levels because i assume the version is different enough with how it loads maps

[onyx scroll]

ok, I checked one of the textfiles that came with what I found

replace -warp [episode] [map] with -run [map]

[old turtle]

okay

oh wait hold on

[onyx scroll]

doom -run [map]

[old turtle]

ohh

[onyx scroll]

to load into level 6, it'd be doom -run 6

[old turtle]

i did "doom -run 2" and got this

every map number is giving me this, idk why

[onyx scroll]

did the same and did not get such an issue

show the full output if possible (including what you typed in)

[old turtle]

okay

[onyx scroll]

that's the issue
remove map

[old turtle]

oh

it works now, thank you

now i just need to test the secret maps lol

[onyx scroll]

I hit my keyboard by accident. Anyways.

1 not used
2 E2M2
3 E2M3
4 E1M7
5 E3M3
6 MAP10 (DOOM II !)
7 E1M4 
8 E1M2 (rough)
9 E1M6 (rough)
10 E1M3 (partly)
11 E2M7
12 E1M8 (really rough)
13 E2M4

these are the level numbers

edited from the original text file to remove some of the weird stuff it has as comments

[old turtle]

hmm i may have the same files

oh yeah i do lol

oh and map 11 crashes

nvm it works... sometimes

[old turtle]

Would you happen to know how to load these into a builder?

[onyx scroll]

no and it's probably not possible.

[old turtle]

It would likely need to have a builder made custom for it

[violet pebble]

Anyone got some good city/doom-2016 style mods?

if so dm me

[storm charm]

try playing DOOM II: In City Only with Doom 4 Vanilla

[slate maple]

time for a final playthrough of my MegaWadMod, then my next build should be availalbe. I hope to have the final version done by next quakecon. Im going to need help for the final polish. Just to much work for one person. It will be 6 episodes with 6 levels each, and a final and intro level (38 levels total) and a Quake 1 like Hub. This project started in 2015

did anyone say...

Sub-Zero?

[storm charm]

can't post links, can't link mods, feels bad man

[cobalt tree]

bruh what lightning is that. that ain't doom thats... i don't have a joke for that one

[cobalt tree]

also which one

there are two sub-zeroes

[storm charm]

your thinking of the wrong sub zero, im talking about the temperature not the MK ninja

Sub Zebro

[coarse parrot]

Someone know how I can put a custom song for doom?, I want put a custom theme for my new map on my wad

[onyx scroll]

Basically, you’ll need to get the track you want to use and Slade 3.
You’ll import the track into your WAD with Slade and reference these lump names
Doom 2:
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_II_music
Doom 1:
https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_music

you’ll rename the track one of these names depending on what level you want the track to play on

[cobalt tree]

plis don disrespet my boi Sub-Zero lik dat

the 3d model

[median sapphire]

Hello, Im new to Doom modding. I wanted to play Doom, Ultimate Doom DLC, Doom 2, Master Levels For Doom 2 DLC, No Rest For The Living DLC and Final Doom on GZDoom. Do I need to install all this on Steam ? Or do I just install Doom 1, GZDoom and everything will be there ?

What do I do

Im really noob on this

[lusty dove]

where did you get the doom 1 from?

steam?

[median sapphire]

I have doom 1 to 3 on steam

[lusty dove]

ok, so if you have doom 1, that is the ultimate doom

[median sapphire]

1, 2, final, 64, 3 and dlcs

[lusty dove]

doom 2 comes with final doom and the master levels as well

[median sapphire]

is no rest for the living xbox 360 exclusive still ?

[lusty dove]

if you install final doom, you will be able to play it by selecting plutonia or tnt in the iwads menu

no rest for the living is included with doom 3 bfg edition

[median sapphire]

so I just install ultimate doom, final doom and gzdoom ?

[lusty dove]

and doom 2

[median sapphire]

I cant have it on gz ?

[lusty dove]

you can, but to get the wad file that you need to play it, you need doom 3 bfg edition

basically, you know that menu you get with gzdoom that lets you choose a game?

[median sapphire]

So I install doom 3 bfg and just copy the wads to gzdoom ?

[median sapphire]

never saw but im gonna watch a youtube video

[lusty dove]

ah ok

[median sapphire]

from no rest for the living

[lusty dove]

just wait a second, let me explain something

all doom content is stored as WAD files. There are two types of wad files, iwads and pwads. Iwads are base games, the iwads that exist are DOOM.WAD (The ultimate doom), DOOM2.WAD (doom 2), TNT.WAD and PLUTONIA.WAD (Final Doom)

pwads are patches that add on to the base game

when you launch gzdoom, you will get an option to choose an iwad, and it will be able to automatically find and detect them from your steam installations if you install doom 1, doom 2, and final doom

however, to play pwads, you must manually load them by dragging the wad file onto gzdoom

you can find the pwad for no rest for the living in your doom 3 bfg edition installation, it is called NERVE.WAD

[median sapphire]

like those mods with different weapons

[lusty dove]

the master levels are kind of a pain to load however since they are all stored as separate pwads, and also they are pretty much all terrible and not worth playing anyways

[lusty dove]

yeah

does that make sense?

[median sapphire]

I played them on unity port and you need a phone with youtube by your side to play it

[lusty dove]

so for doom 1, doom 2, and final doom, you dont have to do anything special, just install them on steam and then launch gzdoom and it will find them

but for no rest for the living, you have to find NERVE.WAD in your d3bfg install and drag it onto gzdoom.exe to launch it

[median sapphire]

yes, sounds simple

[median sapphire]

Do I have to do that every time to run it ?

[lusty dove]

yes

or you could run it from the command line, or create a batch file to run it for you more easily

[median sapphire]

Thanks

Now how do I set up master levels and (if possible) doom 64 ?

[lusty dove]

Doom 64 is a separate game engine so it cannot be played through gzdoom

And for the master levels, you really don’t want to play them. They are terrible

[median sapphire]

I want

[lusty dove]

Why

[median sapphire]

[lusty dove]

They are not fun. It’s not in a “oh this is so hard” type of way, but in a “this is incredibly boring and I am confused” type of way

[median sapphire]

I already played them before

I had some fun with it

[lusty dove]

Ok well basically it’s kind of a pain

They are stored as a bunch of separate pwads, so you will have to load each one one at a time when you want to play it

[median sapphire]

Each level ?

[lusty dove]

Yeag

[median sapphire]

Cant I just set 20 command line arguments

Lol

[lusty dove]

No, most of them are in the map01 slot

So they cant be loaded at the same time

[median sapphire]

So I find those files on my steam installation ?

[lusty dove]

Yeah

[median sapphire]

Ok thanks

[lusty dove]

Np

[glacial pecan]

Can someone PLEASE send me a link to a doom mapping tutorial (using slade)

[haughty flower]

Cause not all of them are bad

[lapis fulcrum]

Guys Im searching for a tonn of mossy textures like in doom eternal's reclaimed earth or exultia, is there a wad where from I can take it or maybe there is a texture set?

[glacial pecan]

Pls someone help me 🙏🙏:

[lapis fulcrum]

I can call you and explain or dm you with some tips

If your pc can run any of doom builders it is much better to use them, because in slade every single action is done manually

[glacial pecan]

It works weird for me

[lapis fulcrum]

Go in dm

[glacial pecan]

If you can just dm me the hotkeys to do shit that would work

[lapis fulcrum]

Im already writing enormous guide for you

[glacial pecan]

That’s all I rly need

Holy shit thank you

ily

[haughty flower]

Hey, guys

I'm new into modding doom,can you guys give me a quick tutorial into how to make a grenade?

[cobalt tree]

That's more of a modding thing, yes. Not specifically my specialty, but I would recommend using ZScript or something like that

[haughty flower]

Oh,thank you

So now,I just want to know how do I grab a whole weapon from one mod and use it in another one?

Its from the same mod,but different version's, so that's ok to do

[cobalt tree]

Or just remodel any gun to look like a hand with a grenade and use WhackEd4 to make it shoot remodeled rockets that look like grenades and make more sprites and adjust the frames

[cobalt tree]

???

[desert pulsar]

Export weapon from mod, import to another

[haughty flower]

I'm trying to port the revolver from countryside to trench foot

[cobalt tree]

Depends on how the gun works. I say extract the sprites and adjust the DEHACKED file

But if your mod works with pk3s, modify the pk3s in an editor

[haughty flower]

Alright

[cobalt tree]

And add whatever you want in or out

[haughty flower]

I just grabbed the pages of sounds and sprites and put it into trenchfoot folder

[hard terrace]

uh

pardon me coming back to myhouse.wad after a while to try finishing it, and I can't really get this working because I don't have a vulkan device or something, my drivers are up to date, how do I switch to OpenGL

[royal wave]

Do you get a startup window that lets you select the base game?

IE Doom, Doom 2, Heretic, Hexen, etc.

[haughty flower]

Guy's,I created my first reload system for a weapon

Let's see if it works, crossed fingers

So, I'm pretty new into modding

And this error appeared

[hard terrace]

Nope

[hard terrace]

Skips right to there

[haughty flower]

I'm pretty new into this,and I may had right fire wrong and I noticed it rn

Let me modify decorate and test it again,wait a sec

Still doesn't work

I learned this code today in Zdoom wiki,can anyone tell me what is wrong?

I'm pretty new,so if it's a easy error I'm sorry

[royal wave]

Sit tight, trying to find the steps to set it to opengl

[royal wave]

You'll need to share your full code for anyone who could spot an error to see an error

[haughty flower]

Oh,ok

Here it is

[hard terrace]

Thanks!

[haughty flower]

It may be in the wrong place,but as I remember it is in decorate

[royal wave]

States need to be in a state block. like this:

States
{
  Fire:
    //Do stuff here
  SomeOtherState:
    //do other stuff here
}```

[haughty flower]

So I need put the "{"and the "//"?

[royal wave]

not the //

those are comments

[hard terrace]

The // is a comment

[haughty flower]

Only the "{"?

[hard terrace]

Simply a note to show what would go there

[royal wave]

States
{

}```

[haughty flower]

Sorry

[haughty flower]

Thank you

[royal wave]

Also I would recommend learning ZScript from the get go, not decorate

ZScript on a weapon works very similarly to Decorate

[haughty flower]

Oh, thanks

I'm learning in Zdoom wiki and from a Russian friend of mine,and he's the creator of Retro zone

But our clock is different,so I needed to improvise and go without a teacher,you know?

It's like,6 am at his city

Like this?

Is it like this?

Or do I need to put one more state in the middle?

[royal wave]

you should probably look at some of those files you're including for reference

[haughty flower]

The "#include" ones?

It's also not mine the decorate,I just used a mod that I like and I'm using to test it

Because if something happen,just exclude and download it again

[haughty flower]

Oh,you mean Zdoom wiki?

[hard terrace]

Did you find anything?

[royal wave]

Just barely got the answer

[haughty flower]

Oh,now I see what I did

[royal wave]

Navigate to C:\Users\[your pc name]\Documents\my games\GZDoom and open up gzdoom.ini in a text editor. Find vid_preferbackend and change the value to 0. save the file. Then GZDoom will launch in OpenGL

[hard terrace]

Thank you so much man!

[hard terrace]

alright next issue

it loads up, but it loads up my freedoom wad and not the myhouse map

same thing I don't get a popup letting me choose my source and map

[royal wave]

Did you download freedoom phase 1 or phase 2

[hard terrace]

phase 2

which should be the doom 2 version

[royal wave]

did you tell GZDoom to launch the mod

[hard terrace]

although I also have phase 1

[hard terrace]

how do I do that? as soon as I open gzdoom it puts me right into freedoom

[royal wave]

drag the pk3 on top of gzdoom.exe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34HfmGvUJIM

[hard terrace]

oh okay, thanks!

[royal wave]

Also MyHouse was built for Doom 2, not Freedoom. I strongly encourage you to get ahold of a copy

[hard terrace]

I will, last time I played MyHouse was at a friends with his copy of Doom 2

while it's cheap, unfortunately I don't really have uh

for lack of a better word a job

and while piracy is a word, it's not quite legal, and my ISP is riding my ass for my history with it already

[haughty flower]

Try using not the steam mods

Most likely just download a mod from mod db,zdoom,doomworld and put it in your mod page

Wad in wads,pk3 in mods

[onyx scroll]

it's due to the fact they're trying to load an external wad with the Unity Port

the mod in question not even working on even limit-removing

[haughty flower]

Hum,got it

[lusty dove]

What are you trying to run specifically?

[onyx scroll]

He's trying to run EOA. GZDoom is crashing for him apparently. Got no clue why it's happening as I got no error codes on his end atm.

[lusty dove]

ah huh

[onyx scroll]

He's (I think) running DOOM.WAD
forgot to mention that

[haughty flower]

Nope

i watched videos about setup gzdoom

Is there a only flamethrower mod for doom 2? I think it might be great and mix well with doom

[cunning tangle]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/rabid-flamethrower
Maybe this one?

Also I think Project Brutality 3.0 has a flamethrower

[summer wolf]

it does

[kind sentinel]

I only want the flamethrower not the other guns, but thanks

[rugged mantle]

I wonder if it's compatible with Brutal Doom

That would be badass

[cunning tangle]

Project Brutality is BD but better

And as I said, it already has a flamethrower

[rugged mantle]

I’ve played it and I very much agree

[rugged mantle]

I don’t remember that though

[cunning tangle]

I highly recommend this awesome wad

[shut crane]

Can I make the movement slower? I am making a Zdoom wad

[sudden mason]

I'm not sure about regular Z but I know that there's a friction property you can apply to sector floors to slow players

[slate maple]

Next release of my megawad is ready. 5 episodes are playable.

[kind sentinel]

I opened a server in zandronum to play with my friends but whenever they try to join my server, they say that there is no signal how can I fix this?

[runic breach]

zmovement

but it uses zscript

[supple violet]

Why are there so many likes...it doesnt work

[pine dome]

I assume it’s for PC.

[marble sentinel]

it's because myhouse.pk3 is for gzdoom

which far exceeds the mbf21 spec that the new port uses

if you wanna play myhouse, then play it on pc with gzdoom

otherwise you're not gonna get the mindfuck non-euclidean stuff

although there's plenty of other cool mapsets compatible with the port, i personally recommend auger;zenith, eviternity, going down, and nuts.wad

[grizzled patio]

I'm not sure why but this wad that has the Sewers level from DOOM 3's Ultimate Doom port doesn't work, or at least, humping the wall like you're supposed to isn't working

[austere horizon]

The music in my game is really quiet and it bugs me

[shut crane]

I suggest overboard. It's full of doom cute, it's short and it's very challenging, one of my fav wads

[steep drum]

Xbox how do I Delete mods after d/l? DoomI&II

Disregard. Got it...You just unsubscribe to the mod

[pine dome]

Is this about the new doom 1 and 2?

[austere horizon]

Yeah

It's really quiet compared to all the other sounds. Yes I checked the settings. I shouldn't have to have my tv at 50 to hear the game music

[haughty flower]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M-9sMSwq6Y

[modest night]

Hi, is there a way to make a WAD specifically for DOOM II? I uploaded two music mods to the ingame mod library of DOOM+DOOMII on Steam. The music mod for DOOM (1993) works fine. But the music mod for DOOM II does not work since it starts DOOM (1993) instead of DOOM II.

Is there a way to create the WAD so that it is specifically for DOOM II?

I have used SLADE v3.2.6 and as Base Resource: DOOM2.WAD. The WAD only consists of correctly labeled .ogg files.

[sudden mason]

What source port are you running because that severely changes things

[marble sentinel]

they're using the doom + doom 2 port developed by nightdive

it released yesterday as an update to the unity remasters

[sudden mason]

I've got no clue about that then not used it

[kind sentinel]

Can someone explain what moving the ports forward and does the port means the doom 1,2 wad?

[onyx scroll]

you'd need to go into your router and open the port you're hosting the server on

check for the default Zandronum port

then forward that in your router's settings

[kind sentinel]

What is router?

[onyx scroll]

the thing that allows you to actually connect to the internet

[kind sentinel]

How can I go into the router?

[onyx scroll]

don't know

different for every router for all I'm aware

[kind sentinel]

So if I somehow open the router and doom wad port that will solve the problem?

[onyx scroll]

probably

[kind sentinel]

The port means the doom 1,2 wad right?

[onyx scroll]

no

[kind sentinel]

What does the port means?

[onyx scroll]

don't know the exact definition

but it's referring to a port on your router

[kind sentinel]

Zandronum port?

[onyx scroll]

and not a port as in a USB port

[kind sentinel]

To say it simply the problem is that my internet is weird right?

[onyx scroll]

nah

every router does this, locks ports for security reasons

[kind sentinel]

So I have to unlock the security system?

[onyx scroll]

I'm just saying this
if you don't know what any of this means, just use All Fear The Sentential

[kind sentinel]

Okay (I didn't understand 80% of our conversation)

And can you give me a link to it?

[grim scroll]

just a quick question if i put the new updates wad files into gzdoom would i be able to play the new content in that engine or do i just have to play vanilla doom to play it rn?

[lusty dove]

The legacy of rust expansion uses dehacked to define the new enemy features and is compatible with mbf21 meaning you can play it on gzdoom

You simply have to load id1.wad, id1-res.wad and id1-weap.wad all together to play legacy of rust

You can find those three wads in the game files from the update

[grim scroll]

awesome thank you for replying! i appreciate it

[lusty dove]

Np

[haughty flower]

how do I use mbf21?

nevermind I know now

[lusty dove]

For creating things or playing them

[haughty flower]

ok

[haughty flower]

I don't have to use it for adding new textures, right?

[onyx scroll]

yeah, you don't

MBF adds in new dehacked lumps, actions, and also linedef specials

[haughty flower]

sweet

[lusty dove]

You can add new textures in vanilla

[next reef]

i'm seeing a lot mods being uploaded to the new port on behalf of the original authors, which does make sense, as doom modding is old enough now that not everyone can upload their own work. But I'm wondering if there are standards for submitting mods that aren't ours as far as linking to the creator in the description or something

[lusty dove]

What are you planning to do? I can help you pick a format if you want

[haughty flower]

I'm planning to make new mods/games for id software like massacre city and lizzie wargon

[lusty dove]

But I mean what specifically do you want to do? Just custom maps? Or changes to weapon/enemy behavior? Or adding new enemies/weapons?

[haughty flower]

total conversion

[lusty dove]

Ah

Well so then you likely either want to use mbf21 or gzdoom

Mbf21 will be compatible with a wider range of ports including the new official steam port, but will be more restricted/limited than gzdoom

Gzdoom will give you more freedom and possibilities but will only run in gzdoom

[haughty flower]

will mbf21 mods run in gzdoom

[onyx scroll]

yeah

[haughty flower]

alright

[whole blade]

easiest way to do zandronum multiplayer is via TSPG

it's a very good server hosting service

[kind sentinel]

What is tspg?

[silver gull]

Port forwarding has to do with opening up your internet connection to a certain address.

you definitely don't need to do that to play Zandronum

put a copy of Doom2.wad into the Zandronum folder. Then open up Doomseeke, right click any server you're interested, select, "Download missing files" and then double click and you should get in just fine.

Doomseeker*

I guess I shouldn't say you deffintely don't need to do it, but that's like some 1998 shit

[onyx scroll]

Better explanation than what I had

[kind sentinel]

Is there other app like zandronum?and I can join the server but I cant host a server

[silver gull]

if you're just looking to play Doom, Doom II, Sigil, Plutonia etc. then just use the Doom+Doom II remaster thing that just dropped yesterday on Steam

There is Odamex

that's very vanilla gameplay

[onyx scroll]

Will mention you’ll encounter the same issue with it

[kind sentinel]

Is that like an update?

I already have doom 1,2 in steam

[silver gull]

yes. free update

[kind sentinel]

Thanks

[silver gull]

you can play cross platform. one person could be on the switch, one on a PS one on an XBox and the other on a PC

someone needs to upload that silly "extreme weapons" mod

wait i should do that.

[lilac juniper]

nevermind it borked

[runic breach]

are there any mods where enemies move while shooting

[short harbor]

What sprite editor should I use for Doom so far I've used Graphics Gale but it has it's issues

@whole blade do you have any experience in modding if so what spriting program do you use?

Sorry to bother you

[whole blade]

i'm not a sprite artist but the program i see most people use is Aseprite
https://www.aseprite.org

(and no worries)

[rough urchin]

hey guys so im making a map and everytime i try and load it into doom 1 + 2 it crashes with the error z_malloc and the crash log just says r_flatnumforname i dont exactly know what is causing this so if anyone has clue tell me

[onyx scroll]

Just saying this so anyone knows. You got two ways of getting Aseprite.

• Buying Aseprite off of Steam or their website (allows you to sell your work)
• Compiling Aseprite from source (you get the whole application but you **can't **make profit from your images)

[empty schooner]

hey im sorry if this isnt the correct place to ask this since its technically not “map” related. but would it be possible for me to make a custom doomguy skin and use it on the new doom 1/2 releases on console in their mod systems?

[exotic hinge]

Hello! I have a couple of mod questions.

I am posting changes to my Doom2 mod “Doom2X-treme GOLD” and it use update right away, but now it is stuck on “validating” and has been for a couple of days.

I uploaded a few times thinking maybe the upload didn’t take? So now I worry it thinks I spammed it and I’m locked out. Am I?

Also is there a way to test updates and changes without uploading to prevent the look of spamming the server? While my mod is 25 years old. There are some long annoying things I want to fix about it, and the resurgence of old school Doom modding with the latest update has inspired me to fix a couple of things and it is a whole process to upload each time.

Thanks for any input back.

And don’t know if anyone has been doing Doom mods for 25 years and remembers me but I made Doom2X-treme and Doom2X-treme GOLD. I’ve been around!

[deep vessel]

Do you guys think this looks good so far?

(Ignore the miss-textured stone pillar things, I’ll fix those tomorrow)

[zealous nova]

Yes

It implements a sinister element to the level

[silver ridge]

Does ultimate doom builder work with doom + doom 2?

[sudden mason]

Yeah

[silver ridge]

Oh cool. I would still need gzdoom and slade 3?

[sudden mason]

Only need gz if you're using gzdoom or making a gzdoom exclusive map
Slade is used for some stuff but it depends on what

[silver ridge]

I did want to make a full episode.

[sudden mason]

You'll need it then

[silver ridge]

Only ultimate doom builder and slade 3? Sorry if I'm being annoying. This is my last question

[sudden mason]

I'm pretty sure you'll need WhackEd4 as well if youre making a vanilla map but I'm not 100% on that

[silver ridge]

Never heard of WhackEd

[sudden mason]

It's a program that let's you edit stuff as well as add functions, and I'm fairly certain you use it to give vanilla levels custom names and add intermission texts and stuff

Then again it may not be because I'm not an expert on it because GZ just uses a mapinfo lump

[silver gull]

If I want to use the assets for the Legacy of Rust IWAD, which files do I need to include as my resources in Ultimate Doom Builder?

Does anyone know?

id1-res.wad

[lusty dove]

That’s only if you are making enemy/weapon changes

[lusty dove]

Oh yeah no you can use it for this though

[shut crane]

How do I make doom custom enemy sprites in a more efficient way?

Every enemy has lots of textures and it starts to be very tedious to do

[sudden mason]

Cut down on animation frames really

[shut crane]

Is it possible? How do I do it?

[sudden mason]

Just make your animations less smooth, having them have frames more like the imp than the archville if you get me

[shut crane]

I finished today an Imp retexture. I retexturize enemies I don't make new ones

[sudden mason]

Oh then like use a colour replacement tool

[modern adder]

Has anyone seen anything pointing at Doom 1 + 2 getting community multiplayer mod support? Support options are scarce. The FAQs state only single player, and I REALLY want to put up a co-op megamap that casual users can group up and go ham on.

[runic breach]

nah no way bro forgot the secret 3rd option

[old turtle]

anyone know what the largest doom map is?

[shut crane]

I have modified enemies. I asked how to do it faster because it's a very long process

[silver gull]

Comatose is a really large map. When it was released it was as big as a Boom map could be.

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/a-c/comatose

@old turtle

He got a caco award and mapper of the year for that one.

Holy maccaronii! This id1-res.wad comes with a veritable smorgasbord of textures.

All the new baddies and things are there too!

I think shall become the new default resource for mappers.

[silver ridge]

I might be really dumb. But I tried testing a map I created and it wouldn't let me test. I have doom + doom 2.

[silver gull]

don't use that to test. it'll take to long. use something like DSDA-Doom to test

[silver ridge]

DSDA-Doom? what is that?

[onyx scroll]

DSDA-Doom's a source port like GZDoom that stays true to vanilla gameplay

[silver gull]

it's a source port. it's often used by speedrunners and it has some helpful features

most notably (to me) rewind (if you die)

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/118074-dsda-doom-source-port-v0243/

You can read about it here.

there's also a download on that page

[silver ridge]

what version should I get?

[onyx scroll]

latest, usually

[silver gull]

I always tell people to just download the most recent

Of course, you'll have to go into Tools > Game Configuration (or just press F6) and then set up the engine in your dropdown list.

If you need to switch between engines, select it in the list from the test button dropdown list

[onyx scroll]

I'm just gonna throw my 2 cents into here

if you want more visual flair while still being able to test most things DSDA-Doom can run, Woof/Nugget Doom may be a good fit, too

though, for a port meant for testing maps, DSDA-Doom's probably your best option

[silver gull]

If you're trying to map for true vanilla, then test with chocolate doom.

[coarse hinge]

How does one even upload a wad? I click upload then all I get is choose a mod. Under it it says create a mod. I did that already it’s why I’m trying to upload it. No other option is available besides back to game.

Using windows 10 and the steam version of the game.

[silver gull]

copy doom2.wad and put it in the DSDA-Doom folder

C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\Doom2\base\doom2.wad

that's not the EXACT location (unless it is) just an idea to help you find it

@silver ridge

[onyx scroll]

it's slightly different if it's Doom 1+2

but yeah, that's the general path

I make myself laugh sometimes.

safety first. always use the handrail

[coarse hinge]

Can someone please tell me how do I upload my wad to the new Doom 1+2 rerelease? I’m on Windows 10 and using the steam version.

[rough urchin]

Thats neat

[old turtle]

Thank you so much!

[solar brook]

everything reminds me of her

[silver gull]

lol

[old turtle]

oh my lord the lag

[silver gull]

Which port are you using to play it?

[old turtle]

using gzdoom

[silver gull]

I think there would be less lag with a limit removing source port like boom or dsda.

[old turtle]

ah okay

[onyx scroll]

DSDA-Doom's the better choice in this case as it has a hardware renderer

also well, it doesn't require DOSBOX lol

another thing, as much as I hate to say it but something like Woof or Nugget Doom will just not work as it's ran completely on the CPU and even on my rig I was only get 40 FPS

[silver gull]

When you download prBoom+ you get boom and glboom. just use the glboom exe if you want a hardware renderer. Personally, I like how Boom looks better.

[onyx scroll]

you don't get Boom, you get PrBoom+

Boom's a completely separate port

[silver gull]

I think you'll find that when someone mentions Boom that 101% of the time they're talking about prBoom

[onyx scroll]

not always

[silver gull]

just more than always

[onyx scroll]

could be mentioning the port and/or complevel

[silver gull]

okay

[silver gull]

So... DSDA just makes everything gray because it uses Dooms PLAYPAL or some garbage. I can't play my map using ID1-Res.wad with prBoom because I get a fatal error. Honestly, I don't even want to make maps if the only limit removing port you can play them in looks like this. Absolutely disgusting.

compared to hardware.

spend all the time making a map, and then everyone who's going to play it uses DSDA Doom. so all your hard work is for naught.

i'm just going to stick to UDMF. Screw DSDA Doom

[lusty dove]

thats just how software rendering works

the palette didn't have enough room to fit the dimmer shades of all of the colors

so it maps them to the nearest other color in the palette

[silver gull]

That's how DSDAs software rendering works. It looks way better with prBoom+ software renderer.

but ID1-res.wad doesn't work with prBoom+

[lusty dove]

no thats how all standard software renderers work. it is possible that you have truecolor software renderer enabled in prboom+ which is a modified one that breaks the palette restriction. dsda should have that option as well

[silver gull]

they went for a more vanilla tyle software renderer

[lusty dove]

prboom+ doesn't support mbf21 which the new modifications require

dsda-doom should have an option for the truecolor software renderer if that is what you prefer

but a lot of people prefer the look of the more traditional software renderer

[silver gull]

that's what I'm saying. so the mainstream limit removing software renderer makes my wad look like a grayscale nightmare. i haven't been able to figure out how to make DSDA look better or use true color.

[lusty dove]

thats not just dsda-doom, most software renderers look like that

thats just how it is. Only select ports use a truecolor renderer

[silver gull]

I loaded up my wad without the id1-res.wad resource attached and the software renderer in prBoom+ looks better by default.

[lusty dove]

it might have truecolor enabled by default
can you send a screenshot?

[silver gull]

I'll look now in DSDA, but I don't think it can look better

[lusty dove]

i dont have dsda on my current machine so i cant help you find the setting

[silver gull]

oh. i think i must have used glboom. software rendering doesn't look good in prBoom+ either.

not in my opinion.

[lusty dove]

this is just what doom looks like

[silver gull]

i guess i'm not a fan. UDMF it is for me. if someone wants to use software, then they can go out of their way to do it.

[silver ridge]

Well after I finish making my game for amnesia the dark descent I'm going to make a doom 2 mod. Hopefully I can figure out how to make a full episode for doom

[shut crane]

What is .pk3 for? I am making a conversion and I need to know if I should use it or use .wad

[marble sentinel]

.pk3 is the same format as a .zip file-- it only has a different filename to signify that you're supposed to load it like a wad

it's mainly used for gzdoom, zandronum, and other zdoom-based ports. some ports like woof and nugget doom have rudimentary support for it, but it's mainly for gzdoom

[shut crane]

So if I put my wad and a deh file in a pk3 I can load them both

[marble sentinel]

yeah i guess

[onyx scroll]

Woof/Nugget really only have support for it for Voxel Doom

[onyx scroll]

you can also just put your deh file into your WAD and name it DEHACKED

[marble sentinel]

i loaded a couple other .pk3 mods in woof and nugget, but i think those were just music mods

[onyx scroll]

this is also the cleaner way of doing it

[sudden mason]

generally you want pk3 for mods, example brutal doom, and wad for maps, say my house

[onyx scroll]

vanilla mods are usually WADs still

[sudden mason]

probably shouldve specified more complex

[silver gull]

Can someone help me understand ExtraFloor_LightOnly and Transfer_FloorLight

I'm trying to transfer the light of the control sector to the sectors tagged on the map, but I run into errors when I try to compile the script.

The control sector is tagged six, and the line that the Transfer_FloorLight is makred on the 3D floor linedef inside the sector.

I can do it in the editor, simply by disabling the 3D Floors lighting flag.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

I need to be able to point to that flag and uncheck it somehow. but how? anyone?

The linedef that Transfer_FloorLight is refrencing is the red one in this picture.

I've tried putting that linedef tag on the same tag as the 3D Floor linedef action line.

I think I thought of a work around.

Squee! It worked.

i'll have to tweek it so it doesn't look weird. but it works!!!!!

It's so hard to imagine how light is supposed to work. it probably shouldn't even go up this high? still needs a little more work, but that was fun as shit.

[coral cloud]

texture recommendations?

[lusty dove]

Not startan

[coral cloud]

very helpful, 10/10.

[onyx scroll]

inset the walls where the lights are as it does not flesh well with the walls

[coral cloud]

👍

[lusty dove]

Yeah adding depth will definitely help

And the specific texture depends on what you are going for

[coral cloud]

changed the wall textures, is this reasonably good looking?

[lusty dove]

You could put stargr, sladwal, one of the tech textures

[lusty dove]

Does it look good to you?

That is the most important part. Who cares what other people think

[coral cloud]

looks fine, but what I think looks good could make somebody want to pry their eyes out so idk

[onyx scroll]

it looks good, just add doorstop textures to break up differing textures

[coral cloud]

how do I stop the doortrack textures from moving with the door again?

[onyx scroll]

unpeg the lower

[coral cloud]

I did that, didn't work, do I unpeg upper too?

oh, nvm I forgot to save the changes lmao 😭

what are good textures to use for the bottom of the door?

[onyx scroll]

there's this block one I use a lot

forgot what it's called but it looks like a bunch of gray tiles

[coral cloud]

chat am I cooking

[onyx scroll]

that looks a helluva lot better holy shit

[coral cloud]

yippie 🗣️

[onyx scroll]

maybe make the door to the right a tad bit less thick but yeah, you're cooking

[short harbor]

That didn't work

[silver gull]

Is the door sector tagged with the same tag? The action is what you want to happen. The tag is where you want it to happen.

[short harbor]

No I mean you have to interact with the secret door in order to open it

It's not something where you push a button

I'd send you the map but I'm worried it would violate the rules since it's a modified vanilla map

[silver gull]

The door needs a tag. Tag that sector. Then reference that tag, so the action points to something.

If it wasn't vanilla, the sector wouldn't need a tag. But it's vanilla.

Pushing a button and pushing use on a door is the same thing. It activates the action.

[short harbor]

How come the other doors don't have tags

[silver gull]

I guess I would have to see it.

I don't know the rules, but people share their wads all the time. Feel free to send me a DM and I'll check it out quick.

[short harbor]

Check your dms I did

[silver gull]

which door is it?

You have your linede like this

You need it like this. That door opens now.

snip

Try to make a habit of always facing those towards the playspace and the player.

Your map isn't Vanilla btw. It's Boom. That's why it doesn't need a sector tag.

@short harbor

[short harbor]

Oh ok

The secret door is where you get the first armor

Walk straight ahead once you collect it and interact with the wall

It should open up revealing an area where zombie scientists are waiting to ambush you as you're lured in with more armor and a shotgun

[onyx scroll]

doors don't need tags to begin with

I know for a fact vanilla doors don't need tags as that's all I map in

the only exception being doors that are opened/closed with switches or lines that the player walks over

[sour moon]

How do you add light to mods?

[short harbor]

Gldefs

Brightmaps

I don't know if those work outside of GZDoom though

[sour moon]

Why I ask is I'm trying to play the Metroid mod

[short harbor]

Make sure to enable dynamic lights

And brightmaps

[silver gull]

I'm not sure if this counts as a door.

[short harbor]

It has the door function I thought

[silver gull]

I tagged it 16 and put tag 166 S1 ceiling raise to highest ceiling and it works

[short harbor]

How do I do that (I'm an amateur mapper sorry)

[silver gull]

i'm going to try it without a tag. @onyx scroll thanks for clearing that up. it has been many years since I made a wad in Doom format. I thought Doom was a lot more strict

Okay. That doesn't work without a tag.

[onyx scroll]

are you using this for a door??

[short harbor]

Yes

[onyx scroll]

there is a specific linedef special for doors

[silver gull]

I think sometimes GZDoom will fix mistakes that wouldn't necessarily flly in the OG Doom engine. Did you test your maps in DOS Box?

[onyx scroll]

use this and NOT that

[silver gull]

Yes. That's what he had it as.

and it didn't work. I'm not sure if the level geometry sees it as a door.

[onyx scroll]

send over the WAD and tell me what door's broken

I'm curious what the hell's happening

[silver gull]

@short harbor will have to send it to you. i couldn't send someone else's wad without permission, but basically this

This is the, "door" in question.

[onyx scroll]

got it, just waiting on the WAD

[silver gull]

This is what he has.

it's not supposed to be a door. it's supposed to be a secret

[short harbor]

I don't intend to play it on DOS since it uses custom enemies

And I'm not trading one enemy for another

[short harbor]

I sent it to you

Ignore the missing assets I use a crap ton of mods

Run it with GZDoom

[onyx scroll]

this map is confusing the hell outta me

[silver gull]

@short harbor https://youtu.be/kTeCvX-3UJQ here's what I did

sorry about the low volume. i haven't used my mic for a bit

If you don't want to put that extra sector on it, then you couldl just make the secret wall a little bit thinner and make the part on the left the height that you want it to go up. the player wouldn't ever notice anyway, unless they know about it and are looking for it.

it would look like that\

just make sure to unmark the second sector as a secret otherwise you'll have two in a row

acturally, if you do it that way, then you can just make it like a door

no tag necessary

I know what it is.

You don't need these sectors. That's what's making your version not work

It works fine tagged as a door, and you can keep it the way it is. you just need to get rid of these extra sectors. I can't believe I didn't see that.

clean it up.

that works now

@short harbor

[short harbor]

could you send me this version

[short harbor]

oh

[onyx scroll]

would've never even guessed it lol

[short harbor]

it works thx

[silver gull]

remember to flip that linedef on that second door if you want the player to be able to return to the starting area

[short harbor]

They are

I was able to return

Oh

You mean the starting door

[idle kite]

Someone should make a map where you need to get to your date with the Baron Of Hell

[silver gull]

You'll have to settle for a cyberdemon in Cyber Dreams

also:

Im working on a LOR DM map:

[terse sparrow]

i often distract myself from my main project by doing some silly stuff, for fun and practice

[desert pulsar]

For maximum accuracy, Bomb should begin to explode upon hitting something, though this is pretty fuckin' rad, good job

[terse sparrow]

i forgot about that detail lol

thx though!

[silver gull]

I know I've played a wad before with a slingshot in it. I think it has a better animation. You could use that one and modify it, I think it'd look better. But that's really awesome.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/125613-my-very-first-custom-weapons-slingshot-and-potato-gun/

Super Noah's Ark 3D has one in it as well, similar to yours.

[terse sparrow]

the funny thing is, i just asked a discord server for silly weapon ideas, and someone brought up an angry birds slingshot, the mod was never meant to be serious

[silver gull]

i see. an exercise perhaps. true. that guy's slingshot is super dope.

[short harbor]

Has someone tried making a widescreen version of the beta intermission map with the tracks connecting to each level

[old turtle]

Hey how would I combine wads together?

[silver gull]

File > Save Into

[old turtle]

like currently what im doing for the wads im making is taking the level wad, the .dbs file, and the textures wad im using, and then chucking it into gzdoom all at once

[old turtle]

I dont think i can do that just in my folders

[old turtle]

like this

[silver gull]

If you want Map01 to be map 01, then go into ClassicT.wad, press, F2, then change that to MAP02, then go to File > Save Map Into and the select, MAP01.wad... but it's always good to make backups.

[old turtle]

Oh no not like that, i know how to do that kinda. "classict.wad" is the custom textures im using, and so i want to combine that, the .dbs file, and the wad file all into one so when i play map01.wad i can have all these textures working and the map to work.

[silver gull]

oh, use Slade3 for that.

[old turtle]

alright

[silver gull]

There will be tutorials, but most of it will be copy and paste.

[old turtle]

thank you

[silver gull]

some formats will be more strict than others.

are you using UDMF?

[old turtle]

yes i am

[silver gull]

Not a problem, Ava.

Okay. It'll be easy for you then. I'm sure.

[old turtle]

alright

i gotta go for now, ill find a tutorial when im back.

[silver gull]

@old turtle You'll just open both files at the same time in Slade and then take the files from one and paste it in the other. SHouldn't really need a tutorial.

cheers

[steep nebula]

hello everyone

[silver gull]

Hello @steep nebula

[potent schooner]

Hey, does anyone here know how to merge PWADS?

I'm trying to port an ancient WAD to Doom 1 + 2 but it has four different PWADS that I'm pretty sure can be merged into one

[fleet trellis]

Looks like the wrist rocket from stranger things

[fleet trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-iq-smart-gif-25368965

[lusty dove]

You can open them all in slade and then just copy all of the things from each one all into one

What wad is it

[potent schooner]

ok nvm I got it

https://youtu.be/liGzOolu8Nk?si=oHaILzQ1zL_UJ_Wi

it’s THIS lmao. for some reason the combined wad won’t upload because of supposedly the archvile sprite or someth

[trail glade]

new map

for Doom 2

[silver gull]

@trail glade https://youtu.be/Iun--rkRAtI there's a playthrough for you. i'll give you my thoughts if you'd like to hear them.

video should be done uploading in a few minutes.

[trail glade]

Okay

Thanks

[silver gull]

A lot of the fights were just open a door, duck behind cover, or could easily be skipped. I didn't find any of the fights to be very challenging at all. It seems like it was more of a map centered around your custom weapon, and the map was more of a afterthought. I think you need to play more Doom and get a feeling for some good fights. How to create something that's fun to fight. I would recommend playing Ancient Aliens or Scythe II to get a crash course on how good fights are put together. They present a good challenge that will hone in your skills, and they have some of the most beautiful environments out there.

Perhaps you could make some simple rooms, without much detail, but design them around the strengths of each monster. Really think about how each monster can be used as challenge for the player.

[trail glade]

In the next map I will do this better

[rare turtle]

I'm trying to play myhouse.pk3 in the official doom 1 + 2 mod menu but it keeps crashing can any of you please help or make a version that runs

[onyx scroll]

MyHouse will never run on the official port due to the requirement of advanced features from GZDoom

[rare turtle]

It wouldn't be possible to make a separate version.

[onyx scroll]

90% of the map's features and what makes it even stand out wouldn't exist if it were ported to Boom/MBF standards

[rare turtle]

I appreciate you for telling me

I assume brutal doom is the same way

[onyx scroll]

Yeah, it is

[rare turtle]

Thx

[onyx scroll]

However, there is actually a (very stripped down) version of Brutal Doom that can run under vanilla called Boiled Doom.

It's more of a sprite/sound change than anything else, though.

[rare turtle]

One more question can you put gz doom as a mod

[onyx scroll]

No, not at all.

[rare turtle]

Ok

[onyx scroll]

You can't upload any source port as one

[rare turtle]

Thank you for telling me about boiled doom

[onyx scroll]

I take this back as it does change a couple things with enemies and weapons

[rare turtle]

Is it possible to play gzdoom via ps5 internet browser

[onyx scroll]

I don't think anyone has made a fork of it that can run under a web browser and even then it'd run incredibly poorly on one.

[rare turtle]

Can you download computer files on ps5

[onyx scroll]

First of all, more than likely not.
Second of all, you wouldn't be able to run any of the binaries on there even if you hacked into the console to be able to run external files.

GZDoom's not officially compiled for any console and is only compiled/developed for PC platforms.

[rare turtle]

See if a moder could make a website or browser with the pk3s if possible

[onyx scroll]

I don't think the new port can even read .pk3 archives anyways

As from what I can tell you can only upload .wad

[rare turtle]

I think your right

[silver gull]

@rare turtle you can download gzdoom onto your phone and play Brutal Doom. Results may vary depending on the wad compatibility. There are certain versions that allow for different things, and the version of Delta Touch that I have uses GZDoom version 1.9.1. They are around 4.1 at this time so it might work with myhouse.pk3 or it might not. Of course you can use mouse and keyboard and even hook your phone up to a monitor if you have a hub.

[rare turtle]

1. Could I hook up an Xbox controller
2. Can you find a mobile file guide, for android.
3. Do I have to buy doom mobile.

[silver gull]

Yes. Not sure. You simply put the doom2.wad in the file it tells you to. Same with any mods. I'm not sure what DTouch costs. I got it for free years ago.

It's called, "Delta Touch [9 x Doom Engines]" on the Play Store. I don't see a price on it.

From the looks of the Delta Touch Play Store description, it seems like they've updated the engine to a very recent build of GZDoom. If that's the case, then you will not have an issue playing MyHouse.pk3

[onyx scroll]

for the 3rd question, no but you'll be stuck with freedoom

[silver gull]

Oh... yeah... shoot. you're on console. Fortunately I think that Brutal Doom replaces every enemy in the game, so Freedoom would be all you need for Brutal Doom.

[rare turtle]

What do you mean I will be stuck with freedom

[onyx scroll]

you'll need to legally acquire the other IWADs if you with to play mods that require TNT or Plutonia (which is rare but it can happen)

[onyx scroll]

you'll be stuck with those IWADs and not normal Doom 1 and 2

[silver gull]

If you have doom2.wad on a PC somewhere, best thing to do is just copy and paste it to your phone.

[onyx scroll]

you can still play things like Brutal Doom and stuff, though

[rare turtle]

I don't have a PC or laptop

[silver gull]

You can find a copy of Doom 2 somewhere if you look hard enough. But I'm not going to risk it for that biscuit.

all you need is doom2.wad

[onyx scroll]

yeah.. piracy is illegal and not even allowed to be discussed on the server

[rare turtle]

I have a I pad with doom 2 but it's m6 dad's

[silver gull]

oops. you just broke the rule @onyx scroll I wouldn't talk about such a thing

that's your ticket @rare turtle

allegedly

[onyx scroll]

well, crap

[rare turtle]

It is an official copy but I would have to ask my dad

I don't know how to manage the files on Apple

[onyx scroll]

you can't as it's locked down

[rare turtle]

So close

[onyx scroll]

freedoom1 and freedoom2 are perfectly fine

they'll allow you to run about 90% of the WADs and mods that exist

[silver gull]

It's Doom, but graphics are changed.

[amber urchin]

Hey fam, question.

Just got doom + doom2 on steam (the new stuff) and i see custom wads finally but anyway to play those coop online? I might be blind or sleepy but there's a ton of fun wads to play but i just want to host online rooms to play with friends.

[rare turtle]

Freedom is a port of doom?

[desert pulsar]

You can't play them online

[desert pulsar]

Freedoom is an IWAD that replaces the copyrighted material

[onyx scroll]

in other words, it's not a port

[amber urchin]

that's highly disappointing 😦

[onyx scroll]

a port is something like GZDoom, PrBoom+, and Chocolate Doom

[onyx scroll]

if you wanted to set it up you could use Zandronum

[desert pulsar]

*Source port

[rare turtle]

So it jailbreaks official doom ports

[onyx scroll]

yeah, sorry for omitting a word

[silver gull]

Not with doom1+2 but with Odamex, Zandronum or ZDaemon @amber urchin

[onyx scroll]

no, not at all

[desert pulsar]

You are not forgiven, execution dated for tomorrow

[amber urchin]

yeah we see that as options now. ty for the confirmation.

[silver gull]

Not cross-platform though

[desert pulsar]

Is Zandronum even on anything BUT PC?

[onyx scroll]

literally all a WAD is that it contains the maps, textures, and sounds

[silver gull]

Just PC

[onyx scroll]

The engine is open source so when you buy Doom you buy the WAD. Freedoom just replaces everything so it can be free.

[silver gull]

Maybe D Touch by now on Android or Apple. You'd have to look.

[rare turtle]

If not then what does replaces copyrighted material mean

[onyx scroll]

it's not on Apple iirc, though someone made a port of GZDoom to Apple devices.

[silver gull]

Any art created by id

[desert pulsar]

Replaces everything that could make Bethesda take it down for being 'piracy'

Basically, it does what it needs to be free...doom

[silver gull]

But mods like Brutal Doom say fuck it... so it's all Doom art.

[onyx scroll]

it's called "GenZD" and it's $1.99

[onyx scroll]

k.

[desert pulsar]

What is your final meal?

[silver gull]

this is gonna be good

[onyx scroll]

the uno reverse card on a silver platter

anyways, back on topic

[desert pulsar]

The topic in question being over because the guy went silent

[onyx scroll]

guy's probably just doing something real quick

[silver gull]

he's slaying demons, brutally by now

[desert pulsar]

I mean yeah but can't continue the topic without him

[silver gull]

@onyx scroll hey, let me play your map?

[onyx scroll]

?

[silver gull]

you map, don't you?

the other day you said that you only mapped for vanilla IIRC

[onyx scroll]

yeah, but like 2 maps were ever completed and both are horrible

[silver gull]

see

[onyx scroll]

I have more technical knowledge than I do experience

[silver gull]

i wish i had more experience. i'm sure they're not bad

[onyx scroll]

like I can DM you them if you really wish to play them but they're not good

[silver gull]

how about if you need someone to playtest for you, just keep me in mind. though, if you do DM something, I'll give it a shot. I will do a demo, but I'll keep it unlisted since you're not posting publicly\

i'll give you the link, naturally

[onyx scroll]

you can also just send the demo file if you are playing in a port like DSDA

[silver gull]

I've never actually tried to record a demo before. That would be a learning curv

[onyx scroll]

basically, in the terminal (using Woof and MBF in this example)
woof -complevel 11 -warp 10 -record speedrun

you can playback the demo by doing
woof -complevel 11 -playdemo speedrun

the commands will transfer over to something like DSDA-Doom

[silver gull]

here?

[onyx scroll]

no, the command line

or a launcher's extra parameters box

should be something like this (it'd be in a different location in ZDL)

[lofty plover]

hi elp most mods i get this wat do i wroong bon doom+doom 2 what do ni wrong

[desert pulsar]

Do you mean "This appears in every mod in DOOM + DOOM II what do I do?"

[lofty plover]

yes

most mods

[silver gull]

Did you save over your copy of Doom2.wad?

[lofty plover]

no

just installed normal

doom+doom 2

[silver gull]

are you on console or PC?

[onyx scroll]

maybe some people are uploading TNT/Plutonia mods for Doom 2?

[lofty plover]

pc

[onyx scroll]

did you install the mod from the browser?

if so what's the exact name of it

[lofty plover]
