any good doom 2 map packs you guys can reccomend?

[novel sand]

Eviternity

Valiant, Ancient Aliens, Sunlust, but they're on the hard side (especially Sunlust, though they all make Plutonia look easy)

BTSX 1 and 2 are both great but, again, a lot harder than vanilla

[night ridge]

will check them all out

[novel sand]

If you're looking for something more vanilla in appearance and closer to vanilla in difficulty, I'd recommend D2TWID, Scythe, or Memento Mori 2

There's also Going Down which is hard as nails but a great use of vanilla assets

Triggering animations on idMover entities reaching destination is working out nicely

[haughty flower]

We need the sounds now

only need the be bo be bo be bo (10x) to make a fnf song

[velvet igloo]

I can't find a specific answer to this online, partially because I probably don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but anywho
I'm trying to make a part of a ledge lower to the ground when interacted with, then go back up, in order to reach an item on top, but I can't figure out how to get it to lower or raise. Sometimes I get the wall behind it to go nuts, but that's all I can seem to manage.

[novel sand]

1. Make sure the linedef is facing outwards (ie. the little protruding line in the editor is facing the direction the player interacts with it from)
2. Tag the linedef and give the sector the same tag
3. Give the linedef the action SR Lift Lower Wait Raise or SR Lift Lower Wait Raise (Fast)

[velvet igloo]

That worked, it now lowers and raises :D
But the wall is invisible for some reason so I gotta fix that lol

Thanks very much!
It's been fun learning how to make it all work lol

[novel sand]

no worries!

[novel sand]

Sounds to me like you're missing a lower texture on the linedef that is exposed by the lift lowering

[velvet igloo]

Yep, I got it fixed!
There's a lot of small things I need to remember to do when I make stuff

[novel sand]

Yeah

[orchid wind]

So, I've made a small gameplay mod for personal use (mostly speeding up some monsters and projectiles)

Now I want to make it so backpack and chainsaw get taken away at the beginning of every level. Is there an easy way to do it with decorate? Or at least a direction I should look into?

[night ridge]

you could manually add a script for each level

that removes those items

though if you are looking to make it cross wad

i have no idea

[haughty flower]

A_TakeInventory

That's if you are trying to make it compatible with more source-ports though. You could always do the death-start thing.

[night ridge]

i have a question

ive made a wad with just 2 textures, those being the medkit and stimpack textures taken straight from the doom 2 wad, when i try to load them in the unity version of plutonia it just doesnt work

[glacial skiff]

A trivial tool I wrote in GML in like 5 minutes to take a native VGA palette as input and output an 8-bit-per-component equivalent. Again, trivial, but I'm hoping this saves a few people the 5 or 10 minutes of effort needed to write an equivalent tool on their own to poke around with VGA-era graphics. I expect this to be particularly useful for, say, ripping graphics from early 3D games and using them in Doom mods

Don't know much about Eternal modding, but it's not uncommon for big updates to break mods. Probably best to be patient and wait for an updated version of the mod to release.

[vagrant granite]

Well, here's the map i've been working on so far

[wheat crystal]

it looks like it could be fun, if maybe a little small, but since you're not done with it i assume it's going to get bigger.

or maybe a small but very hard map, or just a small map

[novel sand]

It looks quite symmetrical

[vagrant granite]

is the plan, yes
not too much bigger though

it is only the third map of the wad im doing

[wheat crystal]

i'm eager to see the wad finish, it looks fun

[vagrant granite]

Thanks! It's been a lot of fun to make so far, and it's surprisingly easy!

[wheat crystal]

no problem! 👍
having fun is all that matters!

[vagrant granite]

yeah

[novel sand]

I'd be happy to do some playtesting for you if you want 🙂

[wheat crystal]

i would be happy to as well

[vagrant granite]

sure, i'm just finishing up this section for now. Again, not sure is it could be extended or not.

I started playing eviternity this week, and I heard it was amazing, and it's been indeed amazing so far.
There were moments where the design blew me away, like how intricate the castle is map04 or the techbase where you start lighting it up in map06. I think my favourite so far has to be map15, it is inmmense and atmospheric

[shy cloud]

looks great

[torn remnant]

question: how do you change the midi in a level like in valiant map27? i got the musinfo thing but how do you make all those sectors into one

recently started making doom 2 maps again. Only 2 maps so far but I'd like some opinions 🙂

[novel sand]

Format?

I see, Hexen

[sick stream]

yep, sorry

havent gotten the hang of udmf yet

[novel sand]

No worries

People tend to like you to state the format so they know what port to play in

[sick stream]

Ok, thanks for the info!

[novel sand]

MAP01 - Some interesting geometry in the two circular rooms, floor decorations don't look bad. The silver textures aren't ones I'd recommend using exclusively for large rooms like you have in this map, and larger rooms tend to need some trimmings and decorations on the walls/floors/ceilings to look good. The combat is pretty rudimentary, but I did kind of like the trap with the pain elemental and lost souls. One thing on texturing - the green marble bricks and the silver textures do not go together at all, which made that room look pretty ugly. This map could be improved by incorporating some more verticality, as well as varying the structure to make it less "walk into room, kill group of monsters, rinse and repeat". You can also easily improve your aesthetics by using textures to split up walls, as Doom 2 vanilla textures tile very poorly as a rule.

MAP02 - I see what you were going for with this one, but I don't think the concept really works with Doom. This map essentially boils down into a series of pretty tame encounters in flat arenas. The obstructions make almost all of the monsters complete non-issues, as their pathfinding isn't equipped to deal with such dense obstacles and the trees block most of their projectiles. The "door" out of the mancubus room needs to be more clearly signposted, as it looks more like a secret. It also has the classic "door disappearing into the sky" issue you see a lot in beginner maps. This can be fixed by putting a lower-down sector on both sides of the door. The final encounter is interesting conceptually with the spectral mastermind, but there isn't enough ammo in the map to kill her from a pistol start.

I did like the fog/atmosphere in MAP02, though, although a custom MIDI would go a long way to enhance that. I think the biggest tip for you is to think of the areas your encounters take place in in terms of how they contribute to the combat. Also, MAP02 would be much improved by adding some hills, maybe some cave networks, etc.

[sick stream]

Wow, thanks for all the feedback. Ill start working on them rn.

[novel sand]

No worries!

Just keep pushing yourself to be a little more ambitious with each map. Try and do something you haven't done before each time - and I'd recommend making those things more "vanilla" rather than making heavy use of Hexen/UDMF features at first, since vanilla stuff is a really good way to improve your fundamentals.

If anyone's looking to kill half an hour, how about trying the first five levels of my speedmap project Warp Speed? Every map was made within two hours of editing time. It's vanilla and should be compatible with any port, as well, although I'm not 100% sure about MAP05 on Chocolate Doom or anything that has visplane issues.

The maps are all beatable in around five minutes or less, although there are some mean traps starting in MAP03.

[shy cloud]

holy shit that was fun

amazing maps

just maybe not enough health

Thank you :). Will work on health.

#showroom-archive message This happened to me to, it's on the map of the ancient gods part two. The first dog lantern, if you dash into it just right, it launches you thousands of meters in the sky. And you fall into the void and it says something like "to far away to execute physics engine."

[forest mica]

oh no that was on the third map. I somehow by accident found a perfect angle where you dont take any fall damage and just keep falling with the hammer

[agile moon]

NICE

[storm ridge]

how do I get the doors to be as tall as the ceiling in Doom Builder 2?
I kept the ceiling at 500 but the doors weren't large enough. Like they covered the entire area from the above portion but left the below portion a bit. And when I open the doors during Test Mode, they don't open, instead they just make an opening noise that's it!

Need Help! Appreciated!

[balmy rivet]

Maybe a picture would help clarify the problem

[storm ridge]

that's the problem im facing .

[novel sand]

You're making doors wrong

A door isn't a midtexture - it's a sector itself with an identical floor/ceiling height, linked to a linedef action like the one you're using

Midtextures don't tile vertically on double-sided linedefs, which is what's causing what you see there

[storm ridge]

oh i see i see

[novel sand]

Basically draw a sector you want to be the door, lower the ceiling to the floor, give the exposed parts of the sector an above texture, and then give them the linedef action you used

Should work

[storm ridge]

hmmm, i see

leme try that

[novel sand]

I'd recommend watching some tutorial videos if you're just starting out, learning the basics really makes it easier

[storm ridge]

yup. im totally a beginner

[storm ridge]

how tf did he make tht ???

[novel sand]

Something like that isn't too hard to physically draw out once you've got to grips with the tools the editor gives you

[storm ridge]

hmmmm, okay then

[shy cloud]

please i want to play it :(

[vagrant granite]

hangon

@novel sand @wheat crystal @shy cloud I'll give you the WAD so far, i've been using gzdoom to test it and im unsure if it runs with different sourceports.

[shy cloud]

😩

is it hard

[vagrant granite]

vega, i know you aren't that smart, but what?

alright i'll try again
not too hard but the third level has three cyberdemons, and in a different area has eight arachnos
there isn't an exit on the fourth, stil beta

[shy cloud]

is there enough space and weapons for said cyberdemons

[vagrant granite]

yep
i've beaten it a few times and yea

[shy cloud]

0_0

[vagrant granite]

although there are a lot of secrets so be smart

the first few on lv one are fairly easy

[shy cloud]

wha- you gave me limited ammo on the shotgun to fight like 20 hitscanners and a baron. thank you but im not playing this lmao

[vagrant granite]

behind you is a invisibility, the explosive barrel has an insane amount of ammo hidden behind door

re: this map has the locations of secrets

[shy cloud]

oh shit thanks

i got past it without them but this will help

[vagrant granite]

there's a double barrel and a hidden rocket launcher around

[novel sand]

alright, I beat it on UV

[vagrant granite]

nice

[novel sand]

Fairly simple wad, not bad for beginner maps, I liked the custom MIDIs a lot

Detailed feedback to follow

[vagrant granite]

yeah the midis are good, the musicians are pog

[shy cloud]

im on lvl 3

[vagrant granite]

ohno

theres a secret megasphere next to the south mancubus room you'll need

[shy cloud]

on the cyberdemon

[vagrant granite]

gl

[shy cloud]

ill get the megasphere

[novel sand]

MAP01

• Looks fairly decent although I strongly advise against using wall textures as flats (floors/ceilings), they look pretty poor (see screenshot for example).
• Combat is alright. Had fun coaxing the Baron to infight the enemies in the room behind him. Start was by far the hardest room.
• I exited the level with only 50% kills because I didn't do the secrets.

[shy cloud]

WTF

[vagrant granite]

ye, i was gonna fix the textures

[shy cloud]

fuck off theres 2 more right after?

[novel sand]

MAP02

• Probably my favourite of the set so far. The MIDI and computer aesthetic go together pretty well.
• Aesthetics need work throughout the wad in general imo, but in this level especially there were some issues with texture alignments (see screenshot) and the above-mentioned flat textures as ceilings.
• The hell knight encounter would have been better if you'd locked the player in the corridor when they went for the rockets.
• The horde of zombiemen and barons aren't much of a threat, but it was fun to gib them all with rockets.
• Pretty ineffectual archvile at the exit.

Bear in mind I'm only going into detail on things I think need improving

[shy cloud]

def remove the 2 after or at least give one more but not 2 at the same time

low on ammo and health from the first now i have to fight 2

[vagrant granite]

yes the archviles are... fun

[novel sand]

Speaking of which, I didn't like the progression in this room at all. It's not great to expect the player to run through a fence section to get a necessary key.

[vagrant granite]

yeah tru

[vagrant granite]

There should be enough rockets..?

[shy cloud]

yeah tehre is

my bad i just used the wrong strat but now im onto the spider demon

[vagrant granite]

good luck with arachnos

[novel sand]

MAP03

• Probably my least favourite, I'm afraid to say. The arachnotron/spider fight at the end is good, but the rest of the combat is pretty sloggish.
• Not sure what the point is in having the player plink away at two identical double-mancubus rooms with a shotgun for both keys. I'd advise expanding these sections and diversifying them.
• Likewise, rocket-duelling three cyberdemons in a row is extremely tedious and not particularly challenging because the player can just circle-strafe them to death. Also, most of the caged zombiemen in this room are unable to move. I'd advise just overhauling this encounter completely, but if you want to leave it as-is you should definitely move the plasma forward in the level imo.
• As I said, I liked the arachnotron fight - made good use of the arena with the columns.
• In general, I liked the use of ZDoom's monster tags to open doors and monster closets after killing "bosses".

[vagrant granite]

map03 is... hurty

[shy cloud]

the last boss fights were AWESOME i didnt take any damage after the spider demon

[novel sand]

Overall, like I said, pretty fun for beginner maps, though I'd advise letting up on the big hordes of monsters fights a little. That style of combat is difficult to get right for even experienced mappers, since it can easily become a slog of pumping rockets into big groups of meat without being under much threat.

[shy cloud]

what do i do on level 4 tho?

[vagrant granite]

level 4 not finished

[novel sand]

MAP04 is incomplete, I assume

[shy cloud]

i see

how long do you plan to make this, also id reccomend trying to make the combat more smooth

[vagrant granite]

really it's just been for fun

[novel sand]

Try pushing yourself in future maps to be a bit more creative with structure and take a bit more time detailing rooms/paying attention to texture alignments

[shy cloud]

the small maze bits can also be tedious

[novel sand]

Try something new you've seen in other wads in every map and you'll improve very quickly

[vagrant granite]

i should really finish sunlust

[novel sand]

heheh, I thought you might've been playing Sunlust

Something I think you could learn from Sunlust is that the geometry in it is as much a part of the encounters as the monsters are

[vagrant granite]

MAP04 is likely going to be the last of the "slaughter-ish" maps, until at least futher on

[shy cloud]

love to here that

[vagrant granite]

yeah, i've definitely been trying to create complex geometery

[shy cloud]

try to cut down on the amount of hitscanners as well

[novel sand]

So take MAP08 for example - the three cyberdemons in that are made far more challenging by the oppressive arenas they're fought in

[vagrant granite]

map03's room with the two cacs is where i tried to add geometery

[novel sand]

A cyberdemon in an open space will be very easily bullied by most reasonably experienced Doomers

[vagrant granite]

yes

[novel sand]

I see - the problem I had with those opening encounters of 03 was that I was incentivised to fight the enemies from the previous room. So even if you put effort into the geometry in the caco room, I won't be experiencing that in the fight because I'm just plugging away at them from outside the door

[vagrant granite]

ye

[novel sand]

This kind of thing can be avoided with closing doors/monster closets

[abstract hornet]

It makes those parts look brighter

and it has some kind of glow

[small sierra]

ah

that would be very sick

[solar brook]

damn that would be ultra sick

[small sierra]

also. is you pfp a swordsmachine?

[abstract hornet]

yes

I think im gonna have to ask disk on how to do that, since he added a glowing effect to the slayer symbol on a concept art ssg

[small sierra]

ah. and btw, do you know any way of getting unbanned from a server?

[abstract hornet]

#general , and only admins/owners of the server can

[small sierra]

so that's a no?

well that fucking sucks

because i got banned from the mods server. so i can't have mods for eternal anymore

[solar brook]

Please keep it ontopic here guys :)
Like @abstract hornet said, use #general

[abstract hornet]

@small sierra there's a page called nexus mods

[small sierra]

i can't get the tools

[abstract hornet]

I and other modders upload our mods over there

I can ask for some friends to give them to you

[small sierra]

also nexus doesn't have most of the mods i'm looking for

ooops, didn't mean to reply, sorry

[solar brook]

Well we cant really help you there buddy, we and the members here cant unban u

[small sierra]

yeah, ik

[solar brook]

But its great to see some doom eternal mods here! <3

[small sierra]

i guess. but then i just remember that i can't have them

though good job to all the modders either way

I love the effort put on this mod, each character has his own weapon with different characteristics and some even have 2 types of attacks, the sprites are awesome Keep up the good work!

Oh nvm your friend made that, still a good mod tell him that we appreciate it

[haughty flower]

@abstract hornet im the developer, and thanks! im glad you enjoy it i had a lot of help with game balance and coding form the community. this was a great experience making it. im going to be updating it with a small graphical pass. for one the T-1000 will have black boots on his sprites.

also thanks for sharing @fair peak

[abstract hornet]

Good work man

Are you planning to add terminator themed maps on your mod?

[haughty flower]

yes i am working on a stand alone map called SKYNET FACTORY. along with another separate mod for monster replacements that turn monsters into terminators.

Any ideas to making high rise balconies without 3d floors? Just for looks not accessible

[coarse torrent]

Doom2 VR?

[snow hearth]

A self refrencing sector with middle textures around it is your best bet

[sonic hazel]

Hi all, I started working on a WAD for doom2. I have a single map for the moment. Is there anyone who can test it and give me feedback?

It is not balanced yet for all difficulty levels

[karmic scaffold]

Sure

[sonic hazel]

Can I send it here via discord?

[karmic scaffold]

i guess

You could PM me

[upbeat chasm]

Hey I'm new here, I'm wanting to get into WAD making, would this be the right chat to ask about it?

[snow hearth]

Yes you're in the right place

[snow hearth]

It is allowed to post .wad files on this channel

[sonic hazel]

There it is. There might be missing textures, although I tried to check everywhere

My idea is to make a collection of 3 or 4 levels

but I am still "studying"

[novel sand]

Format/iwad?

[sonic hazel]

It needs doom2 to run

I used the standard doom 2 format

no Hexen/Heretic/ZDoom

[novel sand]

alright, cool

I'll take a look for ya

[shy cloud]

thank you <3 ill look too

[sonic hazel]

thanks 🙂

[snow hearth]

Toastd being a champ as always

[sonic hazel]

I really appreciate it

It's still a draft but I would like feedback before continuing with other levels

Especially since I am not exactly a power player when it comes to doom

[novel sand]

Interesting choice of MIDI, heheh

Played it in CrispyDoom and it all worked, which is very nice considering how many newer mappers just playtest in GZDoom and thus have broken lifts and such in their "target" ports

So, decent map for a new mapper overall. The player is massively oversupplied, with powerups and armour scattered around seemingly at random in every room. I had basically a full BFG and megasphere for the whole map - generally something a mapper wants to avoid, as it removes the tension from combat. All the combat was very flat in that it took place on a single flat plane. I'd recommend trying to add some verticality to your encounters going forwards; make use of Doom's 3D-ness to give the player things to ascend and enemies platforms to shoot down at them from. The cyberdemon encounter would have been a bit spicy but I was able to just filter everything through the door and kill them with rockets.

That being said, there were some decent fights. Holding down the SSG alcove against the hitscanners and revenants was pretty fun.

Technically speaking, you'd do well from learning how to align textures. If you go into Doom Builder/UDB's 3D mode and shift-click on a wall, it will select all linked textures. If you then press the A key, they'll be aligned to each other. This will make your curved walls look a lot better. The side linedefs of your doors all need to be set to Lower Unpegged, that way they won't look like the texture is sliding up when the door opens. Furthermore I'd recommend giving them all the DOORTRAK texture or one of the METAL/SUPPORT textures. Finally, the lift out of the lava pit in the red key room works, which is great, but the sides are missing textures which results in a HOM when the lift lowers.

100% kills on UV

The red key room was a definite aesthetic highlight. It'd look great with some ceiling detailing, but the shape of the room itself is solid.

[sonic hazel]

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I am happy you liked it 🙂

I am going to apply the fixes

[sonic hazel]

Did you manage to find all secrets or some of them were too complicated/difficult to find?

[novel sand]

Uh I found a lot of them, idk about all

Once I got one of the automaps it made finding them pretty easy

couple I couldn't figure out how to open (eg the one in the dark corridor with the brown wall) so I just left them

[sonic hazel]

There is a switch for that one

The one in the other corridor is just a door

One of the teleporter was broken

[novel sand]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that sorry. The FIREBLU room is inescapable

[sonic hazel]

I found it... I moved the teleport destination outside of the tagged sector by mistake

[torn remnant]

spent a few days fighting with eternity just for that small thingy above the entrance

[haughty flower]

spent a few days.. that must have felt like an eternity, huh

[tacit sand]

Happy 24th birthday to Doom 64! To celebrate this occasion, I have released my Doom 64: Merciless Edition II ROM mod. This is a modification of the reverse engineered Doom 64 source code, with the goal of adding new features and accessibility options. The primary focus on compatibility is Nintendo 64 hardware, but it works on emulators too. Some of the features include, texture filtering modes, extended brightness, dithering, colored HUD, automap stats, optimizations, bug fixes, and more! On top of that it has a new "Be Merciless" difficulty mode which makes the monsters more aggressive and unpredictable, but gives the players a boost in terms of ammo and weapon switching. Intended for an overall more violent experience.

scar-H aka the autorifle

[abstract hornet]

Nicee

For what class is it?

[quick crag]

my map so far

it's not great but im proud of it

[novel sand]

Good start!

[quick crag]

ty

[novel sand]

I'd recommend changing floor heights when you change floor textures (looking at the blood), and lowering the height of the rocket launcher sector a little so the door texture doesn't stack

[quick crag]

will do!

just changed it

you were right, it looks better when theyre on different y levels

[novel sand]

Yeah, it's not a hard and fast rule, but it generally looks better

Also, it doesn't look like there's any cover for fighting that archvile? Might be wrong

[quick crag]

yeah, one of the floors raises and forms a pillar

as you can see in the image, when the floor is highlited one of the squares stays unhighlighted, that's the one that raises

[novel sand]

Ah, good good

I hate when people have archviles and no cover haha

[quick crag]

yeah it becomes a cheap death

[quick crag]

finished it!

[novel sand]

Format?

uh

did you playtest this?

I IDDQD'd through it. You need to reel your combat in - it's a lot of very powerful and high-damage enemies in an extremely tight space with no room to move and very limited resources. Take some inspiration from custom wads in how they approach encounters and how they equip the player for them. The concept of monster closets opening to gate your progress is interesting and could be fun if the arena was larger and more developed and the encounters less instantly overwhelming.

For a first map, it's really encouraging to see you using height, lighting effects, and walk-over linedefs.

It was a little quirky having the exit be a walkover linedef and not the marked switch, heheh

[quick crag]

i did playtest it

it's possible

btw the format is UDMF

but thanks for the feedback :D

[balmy rivet]

Well, i’ll say that when you’re testing your own levels, they’re always going to be easier for you than for other people, because you’re so familiar with it. Something to keep in mind

[quick crag]

i see

[balmy rivet]

One solution is to have different difficulty levels

[stiff plover]

Guys I’d just like to say that I love all the hard work the map devs (u guys probably) have put into making DOOM look beautiful.

[novel sand]

Appreciate it haha

But I don't think experienced mappers tend to hang around here

[stiff plover]

Ur welcome

[balmy rivet]

Say... where do experienced mappers tend to hang

[novel sand]

Various other Discords and the Doomworld forums

[shy cloud]

agreed! all of my work is smoothbrain compared to all of this

[stiff plover]

Ur not smooth brain ur big brain.

I probably can’t even run doom on my computer

[shy cloud]

u can play classic doom on potatoes and on a calculator, i bet it can run XD

[stiff plover]

Lol pog

[shy cloud]

i had to use degreeless mode, shit was wacky. who puts that many demons with such shitty weapons in a tight space

[torn remnant]

this is gonna be like my second or third map ive ever finished lmfao

[shy cloud]

goddam send it over

shit is FIRE

[torn remnant]

not done yet and im not on computer rn

[shy cloud]

send it over when its finished and ping me lmao

[torn remnant]

ok lmao

[quick crag]

Idk I used the method of “if I can beat it easily, I’ll make it harder” until I could barely beat it consistently

The end section with the mancubus and the revenant as well as the archvile seems to be the one people dislike the most so I might make the door open slower or the rev and mancubus face the wall

[shy cloud]

or add more general space

u have to take into account that u know the ins and outs of your level. just cuz u can do it doesnt mean everyone can

[quick crag]

yeah good point

ill fix it up some time today

[vagrant granite]

slight tweaks to map1, addressing some texture detailing
(will fix enemies as well)

[novel sand]

Strongly recommend changing floor and ceiling heights when you change flats

[torn remnant]

this is a map

it is quite kinda difficult

@shy cloud also yeah

[snow hearth]

format?

[torn remnant]

boom

[shy cloud]

love the name, im playing rn

[shy cloud]

ay wtf is that brightness lmfao

@torn remnant so first of all how am i supposed to fight these hell knights, its a closed space and i have a rocket launcher

[snow hearth]

punch them out

[torn remnant]

punching hell knights without berserk 👀

[shy cloud]

theres like 6 of them and no breathing room

[torn remnant]

there is enough space to get out of that tiny room past the hk's

[shy cloud]

literally am forced to use degreeless mode

[shy cloud]

with the brightness and the small platforms, i highly doubt it. ive tried it 3 times on im too young to die

remember you know the map better than me, im going into this blind

and the pinkies too, ugh

[torn remnant]

yeah
i forgot i shouldve clarified that there is no difference between the difficulties rn

[shy cloud]

not shitting on your map im just saying you should add a bit more breathing room

[shy cloud]

yeah all good! ill try it it on iddqd until im used to the map and ill see how it goes from there

[torn remnant]

thats like for ultraviolence and there will definitely be less monsters on lower diffs

[torn remnant]

thats a good idea

[shy cloud]

i tried UV at first and damn those hk's fucked me

[novel sand]

@torn remnant Beat it on UV with 100% kills. Found it fairly breezy but enjoyable - only two deaths, both to the hell knights. I was unable to find the yellow key on the hell knight island (I assume it was meant to be there), so I IDKFA'd after searching for a little while.

Map looks absolutely awesome, I love the aesthetics. Absolutely needs a custom midi. Really enjoyed the open-ended structure, allowing the player to pick what order to do things in. Enjoyed the revenant island the most, and it was the first I did. I'd say speaking objectively the hell knight fight does need a bit of a nerf, since both my deaths were just being unable to get out. It's also definitely not a rocket launcher fight, I used the BFG for it.

Enjoyed the platforming for the armour on the hell knight island, but it should probably be tagged a secret.

The revenant jumpscare at the end made me chuckle heheh

[torn remnant]

the yellow key is to the left of the armor

[novel sand]

I see

I'd probably put it in a clearer place. The armour is definitely a secret and when I see a BFALL texture I don't think "lift"

[torn remnant]

yeah ill try to do something about it

[novel sand]

But yeah, the map looks fantastic. Good job on that.

Aside from a bit of tweaking to the hell knight fight I certainly wouldn't say the map is too difficult

[torn remnant]

the limitations that i worked with are no more than 3 textures (except some), 3 flats and 3 enemy types so thats gonna be hard to indicate

[novel sand]

oh, those are cool limitations

Maybe take it off the platforming segment and put it on the column in place of the rocket launcher, with the RL on the ground next to it?

That way the player has to do the hell knight fight to get the key

[torn remnant]

maybe

[burnt stag]

Scuffed CCTV Cameras i made in vanilla doom.🤷‍♂️

[haughty flower]

This makes the Dark Lord Fight even better!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=segyLHj7tcQ

[torn remnant]

last minute changes:

• tweaked monster count
• added difficulty variation
• widened openings in the tiny room on the hk island
• elevator to the yellow key lowers when walk near
• yellow key more noticeable
• kickass midi
  any more feedback/needed changes?

[deft horizon]

I have a important modding question, how do I make it where the decorate lump weapon doesn't replace another weapon?

[shy cloud]

MUCH better, actually enjoyable with some breathing room heavily effected the experience in a positive way, i accidetally skipped past the last revenant at the portal but still what a fun map

[orchid crane]

That looks pretty cool I might check it out

[coarse yarrow]

[shy cloud]

looks nice, im still having trouble figuring switches for doors unless my doom builder is broken. my gzdoom and doombuilder 2 are up to date

everything else works fine

[shy cloud]

this isnt the right channel for that...

[orchid crane]

If my thing is anything to go by, I believe you create a new tag on the door sector, then right click the switch linedef, select your action (i.e. door generic), and then identify it with the tag you made at the door sector while making sure that the door tag isn't tied to anything but the switch

[shy cloud]

thanks!

[wraith osprey]

i'm using GZDoom, what map editor should i use ?

[novel sand]

Ultimate Doom Builder

[snow hearth]

what about GZDB ?

[novel sand]

Ultimate Doom Builder is just GZDB but more supported with more features

There's not really any reason to use GZDB over UDB, UDB is essentially a straight upgrade

[snow hearth]

so what came out first gzdb or udb?

[novel sand]

GZDB

[snow hearth]

oh is udb a fork of gzdb then?

[novel sand]

Something like that I think

It's basically the successor, I don't think GZDB is still updated

[snow hearth]

Oh yeah that's true

[wraith osprey]

aight thanks, i'm downloading udb

another question even tho i don't think that's the right channel, how to host a coop game ? I'm about to use ZDL to do it, but another great way to do it ? (We'll play a bit of vanilla and modded aswell)

[novel sand]

My advice is to make some vanilla maps first to get to grips with the basics before worrying about fancy GZDoom/UDMF features

[novel sand]

I don't know I'm afraid, but I think you should be able to get an answer on #classic-doom

[snow hearth]

You can use Zandronum built in menu to host a game

or you can go to https://allfearthesentinel.net/ and get a free server hosted for you

[hushed oasis]

I'm updating it rn

oh wait, uhhh

I remember being told UDB was outdated or some shit and that I should use GZDB instead
that was a few years ago

probably like 2018 or so

wait, I was thinking of Doom Builder X

[snow hearth]

I was told same thing

[novel sand]

On the DRD Team website, the latest versions of GZDB are 2017 while the latest versions of UDB are 2021

[final hill]

I wish the newer games were as moddable as the ogs

imagine megawads done in 2016/eternal style

[sinful helm]

Well I mean id released the source code to the old games

That’s why they’re so moddable

[agile shoal]

But that was the good id. With romero and carmack. Not the "we were bought by bethesda" id

[whole blade]

it's not just the source code release. the more simple a game is, the easier it is to mod (generally). 99% of passion project modders wouldn't have the time to make proper custom stuff for D16 or DE

there's also been 25 years of development in the tools for classic doom

[upbeat path]

^

[dusky wharf]

Sup guys, d'you remember me? I've got the titlescreen for this wad I'm planning to work on (possibly summer) not sure if i'll add enemy replacements tho, I think it'll be better for it to be a love letter for sigil fans..what do you think?

[agile shoal]

Sigil is cool. You have my blessing

[novel sand]

I can barely read the title tbh

I'd recommend a clearer font

[brazen inlet]

do you guys still play multi sometimes?

[agile shoal]

A year ago I played it alot. But my new computer cant play zandronum

[brazen inlet]

im so annoyed I tried to make a server for my mans, but I still have errors I dont know howto fix

[agile shoal]

What did you use?

[brazen inlet]

zandronum

[agile shoal]

Its pretty straightforward

[brazen inlet]

or doomseker

[agile shoal]

maybe try odamex or zdaemon

[brazen inlet]

only the local part works

[agile shoal]

doomseeker is the one you used to create theserver right?

[brazen inlet]

yes

[upbeat path]

TSPG is a good place to go for zandronum servers

https://allfearthesentinel.net/

[brazen inlet]

uu damn

so is this like a virtual machine?

[agile shoal]

this seams cool

I think its just a bunch of servers anyone can use

[upbeat path]

^

[brazen inlet]

ooh wow thanks

[upbeat path]

I'm also on a discord where we host coop sessions every saturday around 3-4 PM EST, let me know if you'd like a link

[agile shoal]

MDF?

[upbeat path]

MDF is good but I'm talking about the Hellforge

[agile shoal]

could you send me the link?

[upbeat path]

done

[brazen inlet]

Im glad I came here to ask around

thanks for the help

[upbeat path]

absolutely!

[brazen inlet]

This sentinel playground solved every problem I had, why didnt anyone mention this anywhere in guides and such

I have one more question, how can I figure out the mods/wads map name?

[dusky wharf]

It is supossed to be a reference to those illegible band names of black metal like this picture but yeah I may do some changes, it's still a wip

[novel sand]

Ah then mission accomplished haha dead on

[upbeat path]

ordinarily most start on MAP01 but you may have to open the wad in a program like SLADE to find out if it's different

[brazen inlet]

thaaanks

[upbeat path]

here's what you'll be looking for 😄

[brazen inlet]

thank you good ladű

[sudden nest]

is this an unused sprite?

[upbeat path]

pain face? shouldn't be

[sacred onyx]

Is nuts.wad supposed to have random monsters missing?

[upbeat path]

all the monsters are placed- i dunno if maybe there was difficulty settings or not

[sacred onyx]

I just opened it in Ultimate Doombuilder and there are definite gaps

[cold topaz]

man i started working on a difficulty buff for the original doom and jesus its a lot

[sacred onyx]

I finished what I was going for - nuts.wad, but all the monsters have been replaced by barrels

[shy cloud]

where can i obtain this

[umbral trench]

this has a really unintentionally nice looking effect with the distance tbh

[shy cloud]

kinda looks like a w

[upbeat path]

y tho

[sudden nest]

it just kinda looked weird cause this one is usually seen

[upbeat path]

probably the one you posted is when the health is lower (there's a bleeding nose)

[sudden nest]

oh i guess so

[sacred onyx]

Cos sometimes I get mapper's block, so I decide the best way to try and solve it is by shitposting, or whatever the mapping equivalent is

Shitmapping?

[sacred onyx]

It vibrates when you scroll

[haughty flower]

Thats easy it says "vile abomination "

[dusky wharf]

Yeah It was an example tbh

What about this?

[whole blade]

gotta be honest, that'll make it hard for word of your project to spread

[snow hearth]

The concept is good but the text is hard to read

[novel sand]

Literally ineligible to me, I can't make out a single letter other than the big X in the middle. Definitely taking it too far.

[dusky wharf]

it is a band, i'm not planning to do that lol

I don't understand a single word either

[dusky wharf]

made some changes

[sacred onyx]

Right here!

I must confess: I actually forgot to save it after taking the original screencap 🥵

I recommend running it in Boom - GZDoom dies a death before you've even fired a single shot

[pale thistle]

ah yes, laviathan

[dusky wharf]

man of culture

[narrow cosmos]

Working on this

[pale thistle]

i mean i used to listen to a lot of laviathan, time end is my favorite laviathan album

[sleek mountain]

looks cool, maybe try to add a few attack paterns so he isn't a glorified Wolf3D boss

[royal wave]

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=282&t=72059

[valid chasm]

Oh my goodness......... this looks great

[neon pike]

Thanks :)

[echo wing]

I have 1 million questions and they are all variations on "Why?"

Mod-wise it looks pretty good though

Especially the BFG impact

[neon pike]

lol, thanks, I'm doing my best in this mod, and it's been fun learning to program

[wise drum]

same

[upbeat path]

Quick lil secret I built this morning

[echo wing]

Very cool

Me likey

[still dagger]

I have no clue how you guys properly recolor the new sprites in Slade

[unique fog]

i have no clue how to even do any of this stuff

[upbeat path]

it's easy
you draw a box
and then you draw the rest of the map

[hazy lantern]

RULES FOR MODDING: <#rules-and-info message>

[deft horizon]

Does anyone have tips for level design in ultimate doom builder?

[upbeat path]

@whole blade has an excellent tutorial series he's doing on YouTube, would recommend you check it out if you're using UDMF

[whole blade]

more technical stuff atm but will be diving into creative concepts as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwuFjhtvow8&list=PLQrQ055Wd7p77pBCmTQT6kW-K8Plmw_D-

[crisp dragon]

that seems like a pain to fight, hitscan and no cover

also that's a reskin of mastermind right?

the demonic troopers are super nice tho

[haughty flower]

somebody knows when " the adventures of square " episode 3 will come out?

[whole blade]

nothing announced. it's a while away at least (but all signs point to it happening)

[haughty flower]

it's done... i'm finally free...

[haughty flower]

When will we get hyper realistic angry birds mod for doom 😳

[royal mountain]

im trying to give this a vaporwave aestetic [srry for bad spelling]

but its kinda hard

heres a wip vers. that i made but i dont like it so im restarting it

[steep radish]

i'm making a mod for doom 2 called uac city https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxQVMMR5vG8

[oak monolith]

:D

[shy cloud]

7 hours, short little fun project i wanted to make. hardest map ive ever done but its not terribly hard, hope you enjoy lads :)

[shy cloud]

oh, btw i do plan to expand on this but again this was a short 7 hour project

[ornate carbon]

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but here seems as good as anywhere; I have the toys that were used for digitalisation to create the DOOM weapons and I want to get rid of them because I live in a tiny place, wondering if there's anyone in here that might be keen to take them off my hands? I had hoped to preserve them and photograph them for use in creating high-resolution sprite replacements but I don't have the gear. Hopefully someone might be able to photograph or scan them in.

So far I have the chainsaw, plasma rifle (front of a rambo toy gun), chaingun (an eager beaver 2.0 in running condition), (tootsietoy ol' painless), shotgun (tootsietoy dakota), BFG-9000 (roargun)

[hollow girder]

made my first ever doom 2 map. i plan on making it the first in a short series of maps (around four or five maps). still needs some polish and some kinks worked out but im proud of it. if anyone wants to playtest lmk

[upbeat path]

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/121526-deaths-dichotomy-5-experiences-for-gzdoom-in-private-beta/

[hollow girder]

oh wow that looks really really impressive

[shy cloud]

you have the WHAT? what toys do you have

[hollow girder]

holy shit that's awesome

[hollow girder]

make sure you dont give it to some asshole that'd hoard it or destroy it or something

[ornate carbon]

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for! Someone who might keep the collection in good condition and either photo them in, or add to it

[shy cloud]

how much do you charge lmao

[ornate carbon]

the Roargun and Tootsietoy Dakota shotguns are/were brand new when I got them and I've tried to look after them as best I can (they just lived in a wardrobe mostly). The chainsaw is serviceable too. The plasma rifle piece and the gatling gun are kinda worn but they work iirc.

Wasn't even thinking of charging, probably just postage costs? I just didn't have the space for them and was hoping they might serve the doom community in some way

[shy cloud]

yeah do you want to give it all to one person or to spread amounts of people

[hollow girder]

i think the chainsaw is super important since the one id used was leaking oil and had to be kept in a bucket or something. having a non-leaky one could be great for sprite making idk

[ornate carbon]

Alternatively, if anyone in Brisbane area has a good camera, I'd love to get together with someone and spend some time setting up a proper shoot for them to get some clear high-res sprites in good lighting with them! I wanted to do it initially but I don't have a decent camera and I'm not very good with that sort of stuff.

[hollow girder]

gah if only i wasnt in SA

[ornate carbon]

I started 3d modeling each one to preserve them in digital form as best as I can; also measured the actual edges on them to try and get each part accurate. The BFG is gonna take a long time to make though cause there's a lot of details.

[hollow girder]

then again i dont know anything about photography i just wanna see it up close

[shy cloud]

yo id LOVE to have the shotgun tho, ive been looking for it online since 2016 still cant find a single one

i didnt even know there were 2 shotguns lmao

[ornate carbon]

Oh man, back in 2008 when I got these

[hollow girder]

the bfg was also used for door textures and stuff iirc

[shy cloud]

yeah like the tech pillars

[ornate carbon]

You could buy boxes of them!

BTW if you want the shotgun, you can still buy it, it goes under the moniker "Montana" cap shotgun nowadays.

[shy cloud]

wtf its 10 dollars lmao

[hollow girder]

lol

[shy cloud]

if its cool id love to take the shotgun to the left

[ornate carbon]

Sure you can have it

[shy cloud]

sick

how do we do this tho

[ornate carbon]

I'll DM you

[shy cloud]

awesome

[ornate carbon]

aight so I'm gonna keep these together as a collection and get photos first before getting rid of them. Also want to try and at least do some photogrammetry and scan them in / model them as well.

[frail thicket]

Here can I ask if I need a very powerful pc for running Brutal Doom?

almost done making my doom map ... all i need to do is add a bissfight

but how :/

[wise drum]

uh

beeg enemy with beeger helth bar

[oak monolith]

ok

soo... cyber demon ???

cuz my enemies in the map are based off of the real demons from the real doom game

[slate maple]

does anyone know how bethesda picks their mods to put on the consoles?

[oak monolith]

no

[oak monolith]

i know that but what doom enemie

cyberdemon maybe?

[wise drum]

cyberdemon

[oak monolith]

ok

i have this are where the door opens and u walk on a bridge....

maybe i can make it where he blows up the brige

and u half to fight him on the small platforms

[wise drum]

@oak monolith make the platforms move for extra difficulty

[whole blade]

Fresh update to the Age of Hell moddb page
https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-age-of-hell-total-conversion-for-doom-ii/news/upcoming-demo-and-patreon#articlesform

[neon pike]

[ornate carbon]

Ayyyy nice :D

Kind of crazy seeing that this is how the BFG could have looked, but I think the black muzzle on the front looks better.

[storm fern]

[ornate carbon]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o14snrmtnt4wiow/TootsietoyDakota_3d.zip?dl=1 Popping this in here if anyone wants it. It's 3 different meshes designed using the specifications from the Tootsietoy Dakota Cap gun. There's a very low poly, a low poly, and a high poly model in here, may be useful for spritemaking? There's also phototextures on the very low poly model.

[ornate carbon]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/amk954g3y4prom3/PlasmaRifle3d.zip?dl=1

The front end of the RAMBO toy used for the Doom Plasma Rifle, modeled in 3d as close as I can get it to the original toy and with an improvised stock based on the low-resolution world sprite. Includes lowpoly mesh with AO map and normal, and Highpoly for baking. My normalmap bake is kinda crappy so maybe someone could use this for making a better sprite set for it.

[oak monolith]

ok

[smoky zinc]

ok so i just got sigil running on gzdoom, how do i disable vertical mouse movement

[plush leaf]

Decino has video on the sprites topic let me find it real quick

Ahh here we are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L7v3vRA65E

[still dagger]

Go to settings, options search, type "Mouselook" and turn Always Mouselook to off

[smoky zinc]

alright, ill try that when im on

[smoky zinc]

how would i disable forward and backward movement with the mouse as well?

[agile shoal]

on the mouse options, turn forward/backward speed to 0

[smoky zinc]

thx

[fluid hawk]

A pic of the project I started ages ago and is on long hold, wanted to make my own couple of maps, but to make all the textures or most at least, found the screenshot. Now kinda motivated to continue it

takes forever to make your own textures lol

I only got so far then :/

[ornate carbon]

Oh snap, they featured some of the stuff I found in there (used to go under the name Blackmantis)

I still got all those texture resource CDs where all the doom ground/wall/ceiling textures came from, and the skies

have some RSKY2

[slate maple]

Anyone know how to create a item that increases maximum health but doesnt heal you to full? This is a issue I am having with the strife vitality serum

[wise drum]

health bonus

[shy cloud]

you can use the health bonus just as lucifer said

you can put a ton of them in a cluster, spread out, or all smashed together into something like a medkit for max health

[slate maple]

yes but does that make it permanent? If i give a health bonus of 20, do stim packs heal me to 120?

Think of it as leveling up in metroid, i just increased maximum health by 10 points. Problem is the vit serum heals the character to full and I dont want that

[vagrant granite]

how fix?

[agile shoal]

I dont think there is any way to define offsets. The floor/ceiling textures are static, move the sector so that it look fine.

Maybe there is another way, idk

[still dagger]

you need to move the map sector over one of the grids correctly

[novel sand]

You can define offsets in GZDoom-adjacent formats

But if you're not on a GZDoom format you need to manually move the sector over

Flat offsets are done by the 64 unit grid (blue lines in the editor)

[loud spruce]

Everyone's dead here...I'm all alone in this place with the guns being my only friends.

[vagrant granite]

aha, thanks.

how would i tell a crushing sector to begin crushing upon crossing a linedef?

so, i cross a linedef, and that crushes a load of imps elsewhere

(doombuilder 2 w/ udmf format)

[loud spruce]

This looks like something straight from Shadow Warrior.

Oh wait...it is Shadow Warrior.

[vagrant granite]

silly question, but how do i change map names from, say, MAP01: Entryway to say, MAP01: Crashsite..?

[outer rivet]

Nah. It's the project I'm working on. SEPPUKU

[outer rivet]

Create a MAPINFO in SLADE then type
map MAP01 "Crashsite"

[vagrant granite]

aha thanks

[novel sand]

Only works in GZDoom-adjacent ports

[vagrant granite]

that's fine, i'm using gzdoom to run this

[novel sand]

For Boom, vanilla, Chocolate/Crispy, etc. you need to use a DeHacked file to change the name on the minimap and custom graphics to change the name on the text screen

[vagrant granite]

well, it's time.

map05

[vagrant granite]

so, i create a new entry, how do i make it a MAPINFO

like this... i hope?

[outer rivet]

Here's a MAPINFO I have. Take it . Replace whatever is in it and that's it

[vagrant granite]

aha thank

[outer rivet]

but yeah seems like it is alright

[vagrant granite]

okay it messed up the sky and music, do i just remove the sky and music section

[outer rivet]

yeah sure

I just wanted to make it lazy and just sent the whole file lol

[vagrant granite]

lmao

huh, sky and music still broken, hmm

[outer rivet]

make sure you dont have both mapinfo files lol

[vagrant granite]

ye lol

i'll figure out in the morning

hmm, how much screenshake can i cause with slowmode..

anyone know of a wad that uses a hud with more than 4 ammo types?

i am trying to build my own but i learn best with examples

any maybe with more than 3 key types.

[whole blade]

so i make stuff

[raven sky]

these are sick

[vagrant granite]

okay, so my sky textures are completely broken now

[ornate carbon]

That looks a bit like the arena we built for the solar boss in Amid Evil.

All of these are really cool btw, I love the 2nd and 4th ones particularly, but I am a sucker for blues and cold hues <3

[outer rivet]

Ugh

Onibi 🔥👹

[still dagger]

I have yet to reach this level of quality for my maps

They look extremely good

[haughty flower]

Map format: GZDoom (UDMF)

A revamp of the DOOM II maps. Current progress is only the first map (Entryway) but will be expanded until all maps are revamped.
Currently some visuals aren't working correctly in the DOOM Software Renderer/True Color SW Renderer, so I advise using Hardware Accelerated.

[shy cloud]

other than the excessive use of startan, i REALLY loved it! especially how you kept the secrets the same so i dont have to wall hump everything... it was great, good luck with the upcoming maps and try not to fuck up the only good sewer level known to man- underhalls :)

Can one of you guys send me the download for the software you guys used to make these awesome maps 🙃

[thorn badger]

@upbeat path

[upbeat path]

it's called Ultimate Doom Builder! two tics

https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/ultimatedoombuilder/

[shy cloud]

are there alternatives to doom builder? im not leaving this masterpiece of a software as ive been using it for a while now but i was just wondering if there were similar programs

[upbeat path]

which software are you using?

Ultimate Doom Builder is the most up to date and has the most features of any other editing program

[shy cloud]

using that, (most up to date version) but i mean other than doom builder. is there anything else?

[upbeat path]

not particularly, other than slade for resource management

[shy cloud]

i see, thanks mate. i use slade for custom stuff as well

[shy cloud]

lmao did you forget to program the doors
