i have an idea for a doom wad but i feel like it will just end up being unoriginal and boring
silk dragon
Well what is it?
hasty hound
Snow/ice themed levels all around with a focus on visuals, progressively getting weirder and more psychedelic in the visual department. level design would probably be relatively open and somewhat vanilla in terms of difficulty, i just want to make something pretty honestly
sorry for late reply lol
also probably some changes to some of the vanilla graphics, maybe slightly different guns
silk dragon
Sounds interesting
hasty hound
i have had this idea but honestly im still working on playing through the original games themselves and then i want to play some other maps to get an idea of how to design levels
but once i do that i'll probably map out the actual levels for my wad if i still want to make it in the next few days
haughty flower
I love snow levels. Akeldama has some good ones
hasty hound
i'm a huge fan of cozy winter levels in games, i want to make that in doom but it slowly gets more crazy the farther in you get eventually treading into entirely different territory

I need help trying to make a custom doom map using doom builder but i don't know where to get the wads for the ultimate doom (which is the doom that i have) So if anybody can help me that would cool. I'm pretty new to map design.
haughty flower
@narrow cliff do you have it on Steam?
narrow cliff
yea
haughty flower
so, on steam, right click the game, go to 'Properties', then in the new window go to 'Local Files', and then 'Browse Local Files'
the main folder for Ultimate Doom should open, go into 'base' and there you will find DOOM.wad
if you mean Doom Builder, as in, the original one, you really shouldn't use that one. It is veeery old and hasn't been updated in about a decade.
this is the most recent one, still receiving updates https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=66745

alright cool thx

Hey does anyone know if there is a mod to change the music from the standard Fluid Synth Midi tracks to the actual ost
like from this https://youtu.be/Z_LfE6gV9ok?t=2194

@haughty flower SC-55 IS the original OST, though...
that was the original module used by Bobby Prince when making the midis for Doom

Wow, i tried the 2.0 version from the page, actually super impressive
The aesthetic here is really nice to the point where i feel like it's being a bit bottlenecked by being a 3d game in scratch

@hasty hound It'll get better, I promise.

it mean, it can get better but at some point it's just limited by being in scratch as opposed to literally anything else
still looks great though
i like the color palette a lot

hey guys, first time map. why the hell is my door doing this?
mild storm
Let’s say either side of the door your floor height is 0 and your celing height is 128. For the sector of the door, both floor amd ceiling height should be 0. Then you won’t get that effect
haughty flower
both of them are zero
i'm still getting this effect
post a screenshot of the door in the 2D view
only thing I can think of is that the floor is higher than it should be
i think i found the problem
the floor and celling are at the exact same spot
i'm just gonna rebuild it

TNT Evildootion even comes with a story:
"After successfully defeating the Icon of Sin in Hell [again] and Dr. McNugget, our hero, the Dootslayer, returns to Earth to discover that another invasion is in progress by the interstellar-galactic race known as the Nutelloid, and motherfuckin’ demons from the planet Jupiter have arrived through the Manhattan super portal spawned by the Omega-Doot, a cosmic force capable of destroying dimensions without more than two sweats."
"BUT HURRY, as on Jupiter’s secret moon Dootonius, a master plan is conceived to resurrect the astro-demonoid GIGA-NGGA, and it’s all up to you to annihilate the 2.5 Octodecillion alien scum across the multiverse before GIGA-NGGA can unleash his infinite fury!"

I had the idea of doing one map with three different sets of monsters, items and keys, depending on difficulty
kind of like Timesplitters 2
I worked out that in UDMF, you can have one teleporter linedef take you to multiple teleport locations - it's just a matter of assigning a specific difficulty setting to each one
haughty flower
So I'm new to anything that isn't basic DOOM and I keep seeing videos of projectiles with actual particle and lighting effects. Is that really high quality sprite edits or just a setting in Source Ports?

@haughty flower It's source-port specific. GZDoom based ports have them via GLDEFS (https://zdoom.org/wiki/GLDEFS), Doomsday has them too.
haughty flower
Not sure if this is necessarily allowed, I understand if my comment gets deleted, but I stumbled across this mod on Fallout 4 on my Xbox 1 that gives you the Praetor Armor.
haughty flower
The 2016 one definitely works better cause otherwise you have these cool looking accessories that do nothing with the Eternal version, lol. It also gives you overcapped strength and agility, a double barrel shotgun, and a ridiculously buffed plasma sniper rifle. Both of which have 666 extra rounds, obviously.
Oh, and you get additional color variants. Here's Piper in the Vault Tec one.
sleek mountain
Nice, does it have a quest or does it just exist
if it doesn't it would be cool if it replaced the marine armors from the CC mod
haughty flower
Sadly no quest. It's just amazing armor you have. Heads up though! Don't have the mod installed or active until after you start a new game. Otherwise it doesn't appear in your inventory. Wait until you leave Vault 111, save and quit, and then download and activate the mod.

I'm making a one liner/ taunt pack for brutal doom, is it possible to make taunts that play during fatalities?
haughty flower
I'm super new to making sprites/textures and keep seeing references to this palette. Is it like, a specific color palette you have to use for any custom content?
that's the Doom palette
modern advanced sourceports support true color, so you could use whatever colors you want if you're working with sourceports such as ZDoom. But most, especially minimalistic sourceports, support only the Doom palette
sick turret
And color nerds will tell you to try to stick to that pallette regardless of limitations

Probably more down to personal taste but do people prefer centered or standard fps angled weapons?
finite moon
i'm trying to use a second sky in my doom wad, but it's only showing the first sky i put in
the sectors i want to use the second sky in (shown below) have the effect used to show it (200), and the sky2 is defined in my mapinfo
why isn't this working?
please tell me if you need any more info
note: the furthest out sector is used to make sure that the walls of the room show the sky texture even in software rendering

@finite moon So you want to use two different sky textures in one map?

orchid crane
@mild storm Yep! Thank you!
haughty flower
Ugh. a note for every mapmaker. stop doing maps which are too fucking dark. this is unacceptable. these quake textures don't have any hard contrast on them - they expect to be hit by light baker
and on this lighting, especially when your face getting side-hit by daylight - without cranking up gamma, which screws with system gamma still it is unbearable
shy stratus
WTF are this wad
mild storm
@haughty flower doesnt look too dark to me
haughty flower
@mild storm as it is no. during daylight - sure as shit does.
mild storm
Well yeah, that’s more on you for playing with daylight glare though
exotic swallow
is there a mod that enhances parkour and jumping? i wanna play golden souls right
haughty flower
@mild storm no i think it falls on the author to remember good level design. play any AAA shooter before HDR lighting adjustment became a thing - all of them have brightness lit up enough to see it in any conditions, at 1.0 gamma and even today it's mostly adjusted unless it's an area which is either secret or part of them map where player isn't even at. so don't feed me that bullshit.
which source port are you using? gzdoom is very dark by default
in a way that if a texture is even somewhat dark, you won't see anything even with a lot of lighting
mild storm
a lot of mappers use low brightness as a way of generating atmosphere, which wouldn't be possible if they crank up the brightness like you suggest. in the case of your screenshot, the problem isn;t the core brightness, it's texture monotony and lack of contrast
also, play Hellscape xD
flat storm
Are there any utilities to convert oblige maps to UDMF?
golden drum
The fact that somebody took the time to commit a change because of this milquetoast and barely-offensive joke is just sad and pathetic.
exotic swallow
yeah, i think my faith in humanity has just gone as low as it can go
haughty flower
Too much internet
haughty flower
@sonic mortar imo i suggest modelling it after some bits of the classic archvile
haughty flower
oh also i suggest you using zombiemen as a reference instead
also, kinda weird of a suggestion but i suggest you doing some sort of a bigger draft for the sprite set to use as a reference for the actual one you're making, like for example in comparison, classic doom mostly uses real life models or reference images and such for it's sprites, doom 64 uses actual 3d models that get converted, if you want to get something of the same quality you gotta at least have a reference to take from
and before you mention eternal itself remember that it doesn't have the same artstyle as classic
eitherway yeah

imo in your case, instead of having to detail every frame of your gun to match the detailing and such of the hands, how about you make the hands less details?

@woeful lion Not gonna lie, those particles clash with a lot of the weapons. In a few places, the particles look more acceptable... but only a few. For hard ammo, it doesn't work (except possibly for some explosives, but definitely not with purely kinetic projectiles), since bullets/pellets actually don't spark (lest they're explosive).

doom eternal gameplay suggestions to make the end game last longer and have more things to do:
- add turbo mode (permanent buff totem demons and overdrive slayer without the slayer having infinite ammo)
- add glory kill only mode where enemies can only die by getting glory killed
- make chainsaw_gloryKillsCostNoAmmo 1 by default or as a cheat code so you can choose to either chainsaw or glory kill a stunned enemy, pls @id 😔
- super shotgun with an alternate mode for the meathook that pulls demons in and if they are staggered an additional sick glory kill animation with the super shotgun hook plays.
reasoning for such a weapon mod would be that the super shotgun only has one weapon mod, the meathook, not two, u could have the meathook change its functionality to pulling enemies in towards the slayer when you press the switch weapon mod key, along with the crosshair changing to indicate that the shotgun hook now pulls enemies in rather than the slayer towards enemies
and an inlore reasoning for this would be that the slayer is strong as hell OBVIOUSLY so he should be able to do more with the meathook, he should easily pull enemies in with it, obviously not all enemies, not a tyrant or a baron of hell since they are too big, besides, the slayer rn obviously kinda has inspiration from the predator, with the armblade and shoulder cannon, so why not also give him something inspired by say scorpion from mortal kombat
besides these theres the harder to implement obvious horde/endless survival mode, an arcade mode and maybe a co-op mode eventually, in the following years
that is if this game is to provide content to truly make it ETERNAL, with the amount of content it has now and some of these painfully obvious additions that are missing, i feel my boner has sort of faded after playing it for over 100 hours now
the "campaign quality of life improvements" youve made with Update 1 are a bit...lacking, i was expecting some more solid improvements? the things changed are really small, hopefully future updates will add these gamemodes and game modifiers that are missing currently and maybe add that functionality for the super shotgun, along with DLC adding hopefully co-op, arcade mode, endless survival mode and the new story continuation thats been promised

- add turbo mode (permanent buff totem demons and overdrive slayer without the slayer having infinite ammo)
- add glory kill only mode where enemies can only die by getting glory killed
- make chainsaw_gloryKillsCostNoAmmo 1 by default or as a cheat code so you can choose to either chainsaw or glory kill a stunned enemy, pls @id 😔
@haughty flower the turbo mode or something like it was requested before, the main problem with it is that it will be too hard on the hardvare, while I was playing on slightly lower specs than recommended to my harvare there were framedrops in some sections with many demons. Your suggestion seems to be to have infinite demons or some really clever way of waves, which would probably eliminate the purpose of the gamemode. I think chainsaw costs ammo so if you overuse it you have to swich weapons, till it at least aout fills. Pretty much encouraging you to be a better player, a game mechanic that I think should be there to stay
as for the others, I personally dont see the reason to have SSG have another weapon mod, not only would it screw with achievements and progression system, but lets be honest it just wouldnt be as useful as the meat hook.
haughty flower
u didnt read what i wrote
only skimmed thru it, and thats ok, hopefully someone at id or bethesda reads instead

@royal wave What is your project trying to accomplish, out of curiosity?
Or is this more of an exercise?
royal wave
Making my own doom engine as an exercise
haughty flower
Sweet. I’ve only read about Carmack’s attempts at optimization, so I imagine studying the source code has been educational.
Scrolling backgrounds, loading textures, etc.
royal wave
Definitely a lot of neat tricks behind it

Started work on a sprite-based 2.5D engine using Adobe Flash :P https://youtu.be/dGQndadWoL8
royal wave
I suggest adopting a different platform than flash, unless you plan on deploying through Adobe Air
OpenFL is a great alternative if you want the least headache getting your AS3 code ported over
royal wave
Works now
royal wave
Library/Source port
One of the bigger flaws, imo, is making any sort of doom related tools more or less involves making things from scratch or forking someone else's code
I think I can alleviate that by providing a viable base that can take doom related assets and allow the dev to manipulate them as needed
mental patio
Interesting
royal wave
I don't intend for it to really gain popularity. I'm happy getting the bare minimum and then moving onto a new project
But i figured while I'm at this, i might as well approach it from a different angle than just "Doom but in a different programming language"

Closest thing I’ve done to messing with the doom engine is making the worst joke maps in history

im having an issue, when i edit a doom wad, it reverts back to it's previous state and the edits disappear and i get a weird error that says the game is not legal or something
it's my mod btw
haughty flower
If you are using slade I believe it’s because it doesn’t allow you to edit commercial wads
Make sure you press “new wad archive” if you are using slade

Robot J’s Doom Pack V1.0 is approaching! It will feature 7 new weapons (dont worry the 0.5 weapons will be there too) Map Support, and I am gonna add a few more power ups (and maybe a new monster)
haughty flower
I know it involved ACS scripting but I forgot how to do it. I know there is a tutorial for changing music with linedefs and scripts so you could try that
haughty flower
Remade the super chaingun. Made it look less ugly and made it more powerful (although now it has to charge up and wind down)
tender seal
Is there anyway I can have my map change music based on context of the level?
@haughty flower Yes you can change the music mid-level. In an advanced sourceport like GZDoom you can use the ACS command SetMusic: https://zdoom.org/wiki/SetMusic
stoic hatch
I have this list in my head of revised weapon mods, as well as the enemies that drop them. Who here can direct me to a forum or a board where I can write these ideas down and suggest them to a modder?
tender seal
@stoic hatch Word of advice: People turning up to forums and such and suggesting mod ideas happens quite frequently. But in all the years of my Doom mapping and modding, I have never seen anyone ever take them up on their ideas.
People mod for Doom because they enjoy coming up with ideas, solving them, and sharing their ideas with their peers. Few people have interest in executing other people's ideas, unless it's a group effort and everyone has a vested interest. No-one is going to just say "ok, I'll make your ideas for you". You have to give them some kind of inspiration to want to.
Sharing ideas alone won't cut it. Ideas are 10 a penny. If you have a bunch of them and you want to see them realized, you have to start the process. You don't have to do it all - if you can get people inspired they will want to join you and help out, but you have to get the ball rolling yourself. It's not that difficult - Doom modding is popular because it has a low barrier to entry. Perhaps start by Googling for basic weapon tutorials and go from there.
stoic hatch
I have no idea how to make Doom mods. It would all be total Greek to me.
Writing the software, animating he weapons, hell, designing the weapons, giving them sound; it’s all completely foreign to me.
In truth, I’ve never actually played Brutal Doom.
stoic hatch
Hence why I'm seeking other people's help.
stoic hatch
What sort of skill set would I need to "start the process"?
tender seal
It depends on the kind of thing you're interested in. Do you like the idea of programming the monsters and/or weapons? Or drawing the sprites? Or creating the sounds? Etc. etc. Few people do all of these, so no-one would expect you to learn all of them
stoic hatch
I have no idea how to program. Or draw sprites. Or create the sounds. All I have are a storm of ideas bouncing around in my skull. And from what you tell me, that simply will not be enough. I've got to learn one or all of these skills.
You know where I can learn to do these things? I'm teaching myself to proofread and write copy right now.
tender seal
Well that's what I meant. Of those things I listed, which interests you the most?
If you like the idea of coming up with how they work and tweaking their behavior, then you should start learning ZScript. If you like the idea of creating how they look and making cool sprites, you need to learn pixel art.
But you dont need to learn all of it. Say you learned how to program new weapons, I guarantee if you turned up on say the ZDoom forums and said "I have all these cool new weapons I've programmed, but I need someone to make the sprites for them" you are way, way more likely to get interested sprite artists than if you dont come with anything
haughty flower
If you wanna make custom weapons there is a great tutorial on YT on how to do it. Might wanna also watch spriting tutorials too and study the doom sprites
stoic hatch
Send me the video.
stoic hatch
I found it.
stoic hatch
Christ, this is complicated. I'd be better off just commissioning someone to bring these ideas to life for me.

Very nice!
I was having a clearout at home today, and found an old map design from 1996, when I was 11
@sacred onyx I've spent ten minutes cursing my 11-year-old self for not having the faintest idea about coherent map design
mild storm
@sacred onyx that’s awesome!
sacred onyx
im interested to know what it looks like
@silk dragon Here it is
quick flax
Where do you start
sacred onyx
11-year-old me liked to use IDDQD and IDFA a lot so armor, health packs and ammo are virtually nonexistent
Bottom left
quick flax
Right in front of the arch vile?
sacred onyx
No, to the left of it
quick flax
Seems interesting
sacred onyx
I'm glad I drew that big blue line all over it to depict the route taken, otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue
Also apparently young Skull seemed to think arachnotrons were the same width as imps or archviles lmao
and that having to face three archviles and five revenants with nothing but a shotgun is perfectly fine
quick flax
One side of the map seems a bit harder then the other
sacred onyx
Once I'm done making it, I'm gonna go back and redo it properly
silk dragon
Huh. Your 11 year old self loved corridors by the looks of it
sacred onyx
And dead ends!
I'd been playing a lot of Knee Deep in the Dead - that star at the top is straight out of E1M5
silk dragon
im just thinking that your young self thought of adding a secret room in one of the dead ends but couldn't think of place. so you just left them there till you found one
sacred onyx
Definitely considering that for the remake
sacred onyx
It's potentially beatable - I got 41% kills, including one archvile.
haughty flower
fancy, i'll try
short dock
sacred onyx
fancy, i'll try
@haughty flower Whoops, I found a missing texture after the upload. Here's the fixed version.
haughty flower
i gave up, im too impatient to beat it without much weapons xD
also should separate arachnotrons a bit more, they get stuck with ther wide hitboxes
sacred onyx
Yeah, young Skull thought arachnotrons were the same width as imps 😆
I'm adding more weapons/ammo/medikits/armour, a few extra rooms, and some secrets that kinda justify the dead ends
plus I'm tidying up the geometry and adding lighting
It'll definitely look the same but it should hopefully be a much smoother ride overall
haughty flower
Nice, another dbp project, ill check out soon
lilac star
1st of the month, every month for new dbps
silk dragon
Hey anyone know how to add more then one XDeath sound effect or death sound effects?
lilac star
Presumably through the monster properties via decorate
I'm much more familiar with dehacked than decorate tho so I cant tell you exactly how
silk dragon
darn. ive been looking everywhere on how to have more then one for awhile
haughty flower
I believe on the SNDINFO entry you can add more death sounds
silk dragon
yeah i know it has something to do with sndinfo but no clue for it to work
haughty flower
you use the function $random
misc/exp1 DSEXP1
misc/exp2 DSEXP2
misc/exp3 RPGHIT
misc/exp4 FIREEXP
misc/exp5 DSEXP3
here is an example of an explosion sound that will vary to play a different sound each time it is triggered
very basic function of calling some different sounds
you define each death sound separately, then define them all together in the $random funtion between the " { } "
as a single name, in this case "misc/explosion" is the one i will put as an exploding sound to play the many different sounds i defined
ok i remember that using this function, you will have to call the sound with a function in the xdeath frames, instead of defining the xdeath sound in the class player or actor
but it's an idea of how to achieve, im sure there could be other way
silk dragon
but how do i get the xdeath frames of the player?. is there a way to find them?
silk dragon
This is what i have @haughty flower. i feel like i messed something up
haughty flower
depends
what is the purpose of using it? creating a new actor? or replacing the sounds of an existing one, like a skin?
silk dragon
i just want to have the player have more Death sound effects mainly.
haughty flower
so a skin sound pack?
silk dragon
a skin sound pack?
haughty flower
yeah, as in replacing the actual xdeath sound of the player with new sounds withouth altering the code
because what i described to you would need to alter the code of a player, and i wouldn't know how to implement more random sounds withouth creating a new kind of player class
silk dragon
well i dont want to alter the code that much, i simply want to have more sound effects for the player when dying
haughty flower
yeah well i wouldnt know to do just a replace then with more sounds withouth making new code that would conflict other mods
sorry
silk dragon
hopefully i can find someone to help me
haughty flower
i mean why dont you look up at the wiki, i just found an example that might work
$random pl_death { player/death1 player/death2 player/death3 }
player/death1 pldth1
player/death2 pldth2
player/death3 pldth3
$playeralias player male *death pl_death
// example for long file names
shield/confirm "sounds/player/ShieldConfirm.ogg"```probably $playeralias will do, combined with the $random function i explained
doesn't hurt to try, instead of *death, put *xdeath
but yeah, the way you called "$random" will work, so keep that
$playeralias player male *xdeath misc/xdeath
this is how you might need to put it on your case
silk dragon
No luck so far, going to try have the xdeath state call theses
haughty flower
so it is a new class you are creating..not a replacing sound
silk dragon
yeah i forgot to mention that.. god i feel so dumb
haughty flower
so the new class is on decorate or zscript?
silk dragon
Decorate. i've never used zscript before
silk dragon
This?
haughty flower
yeah
you're missing to define the sound then
put this
Player.SoundClass "Ulando"
in the decorate actor
silk dragon
added
silk dragon
nothing plays. But thats a good sign that it sees it!
haughty flower
i wouldnt be sure what else could it be that it doesnt play it
silk dragon
probably because i changed it awhile ago
haughty flower
ah ok
silk dragon
the sounds are working
at least one right now but thats probably because of rng
Wait they work
forgot to add a number at the first one. Thank you So Much @haughty flower

Hey! If anyone is interested, Ive found a way to easily circumvent the D16 multiplayer echelon leveling system, and instantly unlock all customization content. It requires the use of a few third party tools but has no impact on your client and just skips the experience requirement to gain a level, instead setting it such that playing a single match will put you at max level.

@lime cedar Yeah, MAP06 of Doom 2 does exactly that. You have to set the switch's linedef action number to #49 (S1 Ceiling lower to 8 above floor (perpetual slow crusher damage)

how many frames do ya'll think is enough for a weapon?
Like one of my issues when working with placeholders from Brutality and a few other wads is that they feel too animated to where it distracts
shy stratus
~20, like classic
haughty flower
Wait really? I thought classic was like. 6
outside of certain things like the SSG
haughty flower
classic has very few frames yeah
it might be that brutal doom used interpolation techniques to create additional frames, at least it looks like that for me
but really, focus more on key frames, and eventually, you will realize if you need more

@shy stratus actually it's both BFGs

Correct
D64 BFG mixed with Doom BFG. I kinda did try to go with a D64 plasma rifle look too
It shoots a giant red ball of plasma. Originally it would shoot a giant ball of plasma THEN when it explodes it would fire off 10 balls in different angles but that wouldnt work. Basically it's the bfg ball without the bfgspray
shy stratus
Hah yes
haughty flower
hey guys what do you think of this
I call it the plasma hose cause it will basically spray out like water
the plasma it sprays out is a bit more powerful than normal plasma but it eats up ammo quickly

hmm
make it short range if you can and that would be a badass flamethrower with some sprite changes

Here's the rifle

Well it does use the shotgun as a base
I’m trying my best to make it look more like a rifle and I have a pretty good idea on how

I made it use rockets since I asked the server for what I should do xd

yes
Right now I’m revising most of the sprites but I am gonna ask one thing for everyone here. What style should I use for every sprite then and onward? Doom 64 style or Doom 1&2 Style?
quick flax
Doom 64 weapons would be cool but wouldn’t fit into the doom 1 and 2 environments
haughty flower
Yeah true
Maybe I could make doom styled weapons for slots 1-7 but add doom64 styled weapons into slots 8-0
Kinda like a catagory like thing
haughty flower
Will jot that down
I already got some new weapon ideas but I will still write that down just incase

snow compass
right so i was looking at the pickups in classes how do i make a custom weapon that i can actually pick up
or rather how do decorate files work
brb imma go watch tutorials
haughty flower
@snow compass it's very difficult for me to explain, there are two methods of making something, make a decorate file, then classify it as ACTOR, "name of gun" then DoomWeapon
haughty flower
yes

Today I’m gonna try my first time making an IWAD through slade. Probably will be a testing iwad but might aswell
haughty flower
bruh
shy stratus
I want an animator to do the same thing with a Marauder
And tho, its not a doom related thing
exotic swallow
technically is since it's involving a doom enemy

I haven't posted here in a long time, but here is a 24 hour speedmap (I say speedmap because when I make a map, it usually takes like a couple weeks to a month to make because of creative blocks and procrastination. I put my nose to the grindstone, on this one.) I made as a proof of concept for what could become a considerably larger project.
This server doesn't get much foot-traffic for me, so @ me or DM me if you want to get my attention.

that's a pretty cool little map -- if you're doing more I look forward to it 🙂

Putting a full hold on all of my doom projects to start a new and big one. Doom: Retribution. It is a non canon doom wad That makes a new storyline for doom 1 and 2 where it follows after 2
umbral skiff
That looks bloody great

Due to an issue, I have deleted the previous uploads of the project, in favor of this fixed version.

Few screenshots of the first level (I promise this is not a horror wad)
silk dragon
thats alot of gray

they got all ripped and torn up

I deleted all previous uploads of the J25 Project in favor of this version, which includes new maps, music, sfx, and a different pistol sound, after I had gotten a complaint from someone about how the chaingun sounded janky.
Same basic setup still applies; run on GZDoom, with the doom2 iwad
short dock
I liked the wad, but it has several texture alignment errors and some errors like the whole ceiling goes down blocking the player
silk dragon
nothing a little map editing can fix
umbral skiff
What?
Dammit, I thought I fixed that already.
Well, I'll see what I can do, and hope I can get that sorted out in the next update.
short dock
this is a test wad to see if you like this is this style of levels

I have decided to turn Doom Retribution into a new doom wad nicked Retribution of Evil. It’s a doom 3+Doom 64 type wad that includes most og doom weapons (with newlooks ofc) and 3 new weapons (Grenade Launcher, Plasma Charger, and the Quad Barrel Shotgun)

I've been working on a HUB wad for DOOM 2, just entering beta phase at the moment:
still dagger
This is a wad file I've been working on for quite awhile, mainly to improve my design skills
haughty flower
@umbral skiff I tried it. The wad is nice. Caleb's voice is really a touch of class. 👍
umbral skiff
Glad to hear you approve!
haughty flower
looks coo'

Updated version of J25 is a go.
Features four full maps, with a minor tweak to the second map.
Also big thanks to @short dock for bringing the nasty bug in Map02 to my attention. I honestly thought I fixed it.
haughty flower
Nice so far, love the new updated sounds
short dock
@umbral skiff you are welcome
umbral skiff
A note: During testing, I pistol-start each map in order to make sure they're fair.
haughty flower
Dunno if this is on purpose but a few of the doors have the doortrak textures moving
There is also a door in map 2 that has an untextured back and is unopenable
umbral skiff
Which door is bugged? Screencap and I'll see if I can fix it.
umbral skiff
maybe I forgot to tag it as "repeatable action"...
I'll check it out
I just checked both of those doors.
They're tagged as repeatable, and the appropriate linedefs are facing outward. I don't know what could be causing your bug
Also the moving doortrak is my fault.
I realized way too late that I was supposed to tag them as lower unpegged.
I re-tested the map, and both doors seem to be in working order.
umbral skiff
I've been using hardware accelerated
haughty flower
same. Seems like nothing happens tho
Just get a more trippier sight
I also did walk on the candles in the chainsaw room which I think triggered the door
umbral skiff
Strange

I tried to make a harder icon of sin fight... I hate my life

This is how I go about constructing a map.
I am listing out my steps, in hopes of learning if there is a better way of doing things:
- Starting room + Player Start
- General map layout
- Light sources and sector lighting
- Architectural flourishes/decorations
- Secrets
- Enemy and Item placement
haughty flower
That’s exactly what I do except I mix in secrets with 2
I also draw a map design on paint.net or irl to have a plan kinda
urban comet
I prioritise enemy placement earlier because I want to design the maps around the enemies that'll be in it
umbral skiff
I see.
My reasoning for putting enemy placement last, is because I feel that there should be a flow to how the map itself plays, and I place the enemies in, once the map is finished, so that I can see just how they interfere with the player's progress. After all, that's all the enemies are; a roadblock in the way of progress. They aren't targets in a shooting range, they're obstacles that get in your way.
