[bitter hare]

my only problem is the shotgun doesnt have the pump animation and that the ssg doesnt have a reload animation

everything else is pretty good

[bright owl]

I just wish they didn’t have to cut monsters. Especially the Archvile

[bitter hare]

yeah

the archville can be anoying sometimes but its still a doom staple enemy

just made a big update to my mod

when the ios shoots fireballs it summons a spawncube but if your playing on a difficulty bellow hurt me plenty then it doesnt summon a cube and there is a cyberdemon in the arena that normally isnt

but if you play on a source port that doesnt like when it tries to summon a spawner cube with no end point

i need help with something

[bright owl]

What are the pusher and puller Boom objects?

[crisp dragon]

Yeah but they had to make it work with the N64 so stuff had to be done

[bright owl]

I know they had to make compromises for tech reasons

[crisp dragon]

Also, played your wad on Nightmare! difficulty

I noticed that fireballs are instakill now

[bright owl]

Are pushers and pullers like conveyor belts?

[wispy relic]

Unfortunately I’ve never looked into pushers and pullers.
The ZDoom wiki and the good Doom wiki should have good help articles on them

[bright owl]

Okay thanks

[bitter hare]

Cool

I didnt know if it was possible

[crisp dragon]

yeah it's definitely possible

here's the demo recording

[haughty flower]

h

tried doing something in eternity

[crisp dragon]

that's pretty cool

[haughty flower]

I based it off of this one area from ion fury, as I thought "Hey, that would look cool in doom"

[crisp dragon]

wait a second, did Yura leave?

or was he kicked? His messages aren't appearing anywhere

if so then praise the lord

I was getting sick of his shit

[haughty flower]

same, also yeah I think he was kicked

messages don't disappear when you leave a server I think

[trail steeple]

FINALLY

[quick crag]

Wait yura got kicked

Yesss

[polar crescent]

pain

[mellow willow]

I'm having trouble installing Brutal Doom, whenever I exit, and then relaunch GZDOOM it appears Brutal Doom has uninstalled itself. What do I do?

[safe steppe]

you're supposed to drag and drop brutal doom file onto gzdoom everytime

or use ZDL which is a doom launcher that can do that automatically

[mellow willow]

So I should use ZDL?

[safe steppe]

you can download ZDL or simply just drag and drop the brutal doom file onto gzdoom

[mellow willow]

Ok, so say I want to do the same for DOOM 2, then what?

Do I just add it on ZDL?

like this?

[sweet grove]

Your absolute favourite Classic Doom wads right now? AND GO!

[remote widget]

my favorite wad is a video of a windows xp bliss with a bunch of pinkies on it.

[crisp dragon]

Has to go to Heartland atm

It's challenging and kicks my ass but I like it, and the fucking aesthetics man

[tribal scarab]

I've only just gotten into DOOM modding and I'm currently working on a GZDoom 6 map set to learn the basics, please allow my brain to absorb knowledge via general suggestions, I'll probably throw the forum link here later

[trail steeple]

you can also share the .wad file itself here

as of giving you help with mapping
i'd recommend watching these vids:
https://youtu.be/EucWtn__O8Q
https://youtu.be/6arDCzmhONY

[tribal scarab]

thanks, at the moment the wad comes packed with various texture packs until I can put them directly into the wad itself

[trail steeple]

remember:
in SLADE3,always put custom content above the maps themselves

• always make sure that the texture names don't conflict

[tribal scarab]

question, if I put the wads themselves into SLADE and put them over the maps would that work?

[trail steeple]

no

you have to put the files from the .wad files of the texture packs and then put those textures into your pwad

important thing: NEVER put in more stuff into/replace/rename stuff from IWADs

[tribal scarab]

yes thank you

I've gotten as far as 2 maps, renaming all the maps (including transition screens), end text crawl and some custom music

[trail steeple]

also:
Realm667 is a good website for custom stuff for doom modders

[tribal scarab]

I noticed
I might just keep the texture packs separate and say you should load them in order in ZDL

[trail steeple]

quite a unusual thing to do but ok

[tribal scarab]

by the looks of it I might not have to do that

[trail steeple]

gonna upload my wad here so people can test it

IWAD:Doom 2
Sourceport:GZDoom
amount of levels:4 (the 4th one is unfinished as of now)
recommended difficulty: HMP

[tribal scarab]

upon failed attempts to incorporate the texture packs into the WAD, I'll probably just keep them as required wads and make sure not to repeat this mistake in the future

[wispy relic]

Adding textures to your wad with SLADE is a delicate process. You can’t just copy the files from the texture pack unfortunately

[sweet grove]

Oh really, first I've heard of this one 😄

[tribal scarab]

I wholeheartedly intend to make my first large WAD with original textures, I intend to give it a NES/Famicom look and can easily reskin weapons as is

[sweet grove]

I still struggle with Slade, I only want to learn how to make that end scroll screen haha then I'll be happy

[haughty flower]

currently, it has to be DBP37: AUGER;ZENITH
I expected it to be eh, decent, but what I got was a very enjoyable experience
The levels are nice and detailed, the music is pretty good (did not expect that Resonance midi on map02), and it was just fun overall

[trail steeple]

KDiZD

a bit hard at times,but pretty fun

[tribal scarab]

UAC Ultra hands down. Only around the length of 1 episode, but every level is extremely well made

[haughty flower]

and, btw, here is what AUGER;ZENITH looks like:

[upbeat path]

looks noisy

[haughty flower]

noisy? probably. cool? yes.

[tribal scarab]

map making may be tedious but I really enjoy it for some reason

[trail steeple]

it may get you burned out after doing alot of maps in short periods of time

but making doom maps itself is interesting and quite fun in my opinion

[tribal scarab]

I've only been doing 1 map a day so far since I want to put a lot of detail into them

here's a random example of a very unfinished area I'm working on

I'm gonna put the super shotgun on a podium

[tribal scarab]

I think I might use gzdoom builder with doom 64 absolution to make a doom 64 map pack at some point

[trail steeple]

ultimate doom builder is better imo

[safe steppe]

there is no opinions here it's a fact, UDB is literally just a newer version of GZDB, of course it'll be better

[trail steeple]

agreed

[tribal scarab]

guess what I'm switching to

I thought gzdoom builder was the newest so I just defaulted to that. Doesn't matter though, I'm now trying to make a 100% vanilla map compatible with even the original dos stuff

[sterile drift]

hey so, it's been a while since i've played classic doom, is what's the latest cool mods you guys recommend?

[crisp dragon]

Embers of Armageddon is pretty cool

If you want a joke mod, then the Abort Mod or Russian Overkill is definitely the way to go

But otherwise, I'm not too qualified to talk about mods

[sterile drift]

oh, i've heard about those, but haven't checked it out. thanks a lot anyways!

[crisp dragon]

Goldfire is the mods guy

But anyway, Beautiful Doom is another good mod

Doom one is also good

[sterile drift]

let me guess, it makes the game look beautiful?

[crisp dragon]

Project MSX is another

And Hellrider

Most of these are what Goldfire345 recommends

[sterile drift]

i see

maybe i'll see some of his other recommendations as well

[crisp dragon]

Kinda? I don't remember much of what it does, but I'm pretty sure it ups the graphics a bit, makes animations smoother, and implements some new guns

And oh right

The Abort Mod isn't downloadable anymore from any site on the internet but I have a copy of it

If you're ever interested I'll just dm

[trail steeple]

UDMF format won't be vanilla compatible judging by the screenshot you've sent earlier
because of the colored lighting,3d floors,slopes and so on

[trail steeple]

i am interested

[trail steeple]

beautiful doom in short:
-adds a bit more blood that drops from monsters that leaves decals in a brutal-doom-style
-has a separate menu that allows you to customise how guns behave,how your hands look,how much graphical improvements you want etc.
-3 types of gun behaviour:

1. classic,basically og doom with more fluid animation
2. enchanced (turned on by default) ,classic guns but with a slight visual overhaul with additional functions. Examples include:
   fists now have a kick function that pushes enemies away
   shotgun has a melee attack
   you can dual-wield pistols
   3.modern,so basically the guns are entirely changed both in appearance and in function
   -ALL monsters have 8 rotational sprites that aren't mirrors (they don't generate the weird effect of swapping guns from side to side like zombiemen do in vanilla
   -Brightmaps are added,and they basically make textures glow in the dark
   and a bunch of features i forgot about

worth checking out

[sterile drift]

Seems like a nice addition. I'll check it out for sure

[tribal scarab]

Oh that wasn't the vanilla compatible map, that's for my first WAD

[trail steeple]

oh ok

[white saddle]

hmm, I need a new gameplay idea

for an outside arena

[whole blade]

Natural space or structured?

[candid acorn]

I'm currently making a level with Doom Builder and was wondering how to load up my currently unfinished level for testing purposes in the steam version of Doom 2

[agile shoal]

The Unity port is a limit removing port, so if your wad works on Crispy Doom, then it will work on Unity

I dont have the Unity port so I cant help you with it

[trail steeple]

i don't think that it's limit-removing

[agile shoal]

I think it is, but I may be wrong

[candid acorn]

the problem is that when i launch the test mode it just boots up doom 2 without loading the level

[agile shoal]

I really dont know anything about the Unity port, so just test the another source port

[white saddle]

A mix of both

[white saddle]

why the hell is there and hom effect there? theres no missing textures at all

[upbeat path]

Check and make sure all your lines are connected and your sectors are separate

[white saddle]

?

this is what the map looks like

[safe steppe]

something you can try is move every linedef in the affected area just ever so slightly

[upbeat path]

Yeah

Nodes can do weird shit as well

[safe steppe]

sometimes (the node builder?) messes up and you gotta move them a bit to fix it

[white saddle]

ok

ok thanks guys it worked

[loud flame]

I am modding the BFG 9000 in Gzdoom Zscript, but I cannot switch to the BFG if I have this in the ZSCRIPT lump.

[haughty flower]

Is this correct?

[night pond]

does anyone have a good setup guide for golden souls?

[wispy relic]

In this section of the definition,

        Weapon.AmmoUse 40;
        Weapon.AmmoGive 40;
        Weapon.AmmoType "Cell";```
add this line:
```        Weapon.Slotnumber 7 

That should fix it

[loud flame]

It worked thank you.

[wispy relic]

noice

[white saddle]

Mfw random hom effects happen

[trail steeple]

which iwad

hmm,looks broken on both doom 1 & 2

ah yes,can't even start the first level

i think i see the issue

this is literally just a doom 2 map but broken

wait,why is every map the same as in doom 2...

hold on,lemme open it in slade

man,this isn't even a mod

you've literally put the doom 2 IWAD here and broke stuff in it

you DO NOT modify the iwad

you also shouldn't share the IWAD

because the IWAD is the game itself

you've essentially shared the entire doom 2

and that's piracy

@whole blade i am sorry for pinging you but this person literally posted the doom 2 iwad but with broken custom textures (all maps are the same as in doom 2,every texture is in the .wad file,every sound file and so on [checked it in slade])

doesn't posting the entire iwad count as piracy ?

[whole blade]

it sure does

@haughty flower do not the IWAD

[safe steppe]

@haughty flower you need to create a PWAD you can't just modify the Doom2.wad

[trail steeple]

gonna bet that his copy of doom2 is screwed now

[crisp dragon]

^

yeah

[haughty flower]

if he got it off of steam he can just verify the files

[shadow trail]

why even replace everything in doom2 when you can
ah i dont know make a simple PWAD

[upbeat path]

Effort

[trail steeple]

it takes less effort to make a pwad than to modify the iwad

[safe steppe]

However it takes more effort to watch a 5 minute tutorial than to start fucking your IWAD

^ Probably how their thought process looked like

[plush ridge]

I still need to tweak things on the same map.

[crisp dragon]

Lookin real nice 👍

[plush ridge]

Thx man!

wait how did you do the scripture of the wall, the symbols there?

[upbeat path]

they're part of Ancient Aliens textures 😄

[rocky beacon]

what lol, I never seen those kinds of maps like that so guessing a few folks have seen it, curious to see it in the mapping in game, is it still being worked on or free for the public?

[upbeat path]

it's still being worked on, hopefully to be part of a set called FreonDM

[rocky beacon]

oh nice, hope it goes well, feels like my type of place to hang out in the map

[upbeat path]

cheers 😄

[remote widget]

reminds me of my sucka.wad

back in 2019 i was new to the doom modding at that time then i posted a wad on doomworld which is you know the sucka.wad, you can find still on doomworld oh and yea that wad fucking sucks, anyways if you read some of the comments you see i posted an iwad, oh and yea i was a fucking idiot because i put the whole doom 2 texture, and stayed 2 fucking years.

[white saddle]

Ouchvile

[wispy relic]

yo, I've made a map for Ultimate Doom, and it needs playtesting before I can say it's done

It's a limit-removing map replacing level E4M6, and it needs this texture pack:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/893793260307365889/894130651069022218/SolarStruggleTEX2.wad

I've beat it from pistol start on HMP, and with a bit of starting supplies on UV to simulate a full run

would appreciate any feedback o7

[safe steppe]

I may or may not try it later depends if I got some time

[safe steppe]

Okay I just finished it and wow that was like nothing I ever seen before

I couldn't get 100% kills and secrets due to the maps size and complexity (and because iam bad)

I played in crispy doom and the whole experience was surreal

the calm but sad music, the dark hallways, the liminal spaces and overall surreal architecture is unbelievably well done, I forgot how beautiful and honestly a bit unnerving vanilla doom can be

The combat is very unique with the ||teleporting cyberdemons|| and the map's very different and distinct areas

For criticism there isn't much to say to be honest the map is just that good however:

1. I've noticed a missing texture near the ||lift that leads to the area with the damaging floors, pinkies, and crushers||
2. Near the end there is a tiny window that you can fall through and die with no way out

[white saddle]

teleporting Cows 😦😦😦

[safe steppe]

Overall I definitely rate this map a 10/10

[wispy relic]

Ah, so you played on UV?

[safe steppe]

Indeed

[wispy relic]

So having done that, would you uhh
mind giving me your opinion on one of the lower difficulties, if you have time ofc

[safe steppe]

sure thing I will check them out

Maybe even 100% them if they're not too hard

[wispy relic]

I'll admit the little windows to the lava near the end may have been intentional

but if it's that easy to fall accidentally I can seal them

[safe steppe]

Uhmm, so I was nearing 100% kills but I paused and came back to see my brother has quit doom

I won't replay it since I already lost motivation, but from what I experienced so far HMP is totally different from UV, I personally think UV is better by a long shot, but HMP is nice and does it's job well

[safe steppe]

@crisp dragon you gotta check this wad out I think you'll enjoy it

[wispy relic]

cool

[crisp dragon]

Aight I'll get to it when I get home

[wispy relic]

Alright, I may rearrange it so that HMP and lower play more like UV then

[safe steppe]

If I were you I would first wait for more playtesting from different perspectives, while for me UV is the most fun, maybe the majority of the players would think otherwise and enjoy HMP more

[wispy relic]

I'll keep a copy of it as is and make a separate file with tweaked lower difficulties, dw

it was a bit of work to get everything going after all, not gonna just throw it all away lol

[crisp dragon]

this map is one helluva doozy to play so far, I really enjoy it

the use of this specific midi with the dark atmosphere and the ||randomly teleporting cyberdemons|| really does invoke a sense of fear

I'm scared to turn corners all the time

[wispy relic]

Noice noice, glad to hear it

[bright owl]

That does sound like the stuff of nightmares

[crisp dragon]

yeah it is

[crisp dragon]

and anyway, I got through maybe about... half the map?

after that I decided that too much progress would be lost if I didn't save so I did it once

and another at ||the crusher pit with the spectres||

I'm not gonna lie, a ||10% damaging floor with spectres constantly blocking your path is a bit mean||

ammo management is quite tight

not the worst things I've faced though

[wispy relic]

so the way the map is set up, ||there are actually three ways to reach the exit once you've KOd the cyberdemons||

||The dark pit with the crushers is only one of the possible way there, and it's actually the shortest one.||

[wispy relic]

@crisp dragon @safe steppe So after some feedback from a few other places, I've made a few changes to the map. Gameplay-wise, I reduced the overall enemy density, lowered the amount of Barons on the map, and also tweaked a few of the damaging floors; aesthetics-wise, I put in a lot more decoration throughout. If either of you two would mind giving it another go, the updated level is here:

(and once again, it requires the same texture pack)

I wanna get the base experience good first before worrying about deathmatch/cooperative

[crisp dragon]

alright, on it

[haughty flower]

Are there any doom mods out there that allow you to punch through walls? I'm picturing a cobbled together wall that you can punch or even shoot and it would basically disappear but maybe with some particles effects or an animation of it falling apart

[shadow trail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/204082693804261376/914595662769836133/Screenshot_973.png

finally finished my city map

[wispy relic]

You can make a map that has walls like this, but with the way the Doom engine works you can't really make a mod that causes this to happen in any map you play, if that makes since. Can't just load up Plutonia with a mod and immediately have destructible walls throughout every level.

[safe steppe]

For GZDoom there is probably a mod or tutorial out there but I personally don't know how, however for vanilla/boom you can make instant lowering/raising floors/ceilings that get activated on gunshots or other hitscan (G1)

The wad going down does this in a really creative way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oWsnvo9VRc&t=30s

(at 0:30)

If you mod for GZDoom instead I think this forum post might help https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=35826

second map ever, i suggest using prboom+ and hmp or uv

[safe steppe]

Might check it out if I got some free time later looks very promising

[plush ridge]

Does anyone know how to configure the color setter after putting it in a sector? (I use Ultimate Doom Builder)
I have checked the ZDoom forum where it puts the class and characteristics of that object, but it doesn't help much.

[whole blade]

Colour setter?

Pretty sure that's deprecated

[whole blade]

What are you trying to do, and what format are you using

[white saddle]

what should i do with this open area for this deathmatch wad

still need to add more details and stuff

but im not sure what to do with the commically big center thing

i should have not made the map so big

[upbeat path]

yeah I'd just shrink that down

[safe steppe]

This sentence relates to me on a spiritual level

[white saddle]

How do I make bridges

[safe steppe]

Depends on format

For boom use linedef action 242

For GZDoom use 3D floor thing

and for vanilla you have to make a self referencing sector (literal hell trying to figure this one out)

[wispy relic]

for vanilla doom I'd just make it a lift

true over-under bridges are possible (see Memento Mori) but like Vulldozer said it's a real pain in the ass to get working if you've never done it before

also, @safe steppe, can you give me an estimate of how long your UV run of my map took?

[safe steppe]

I didn't 100% it but my successful run took ~20mins

[wispy relic]

gotcha

my third map😁 again i suggest playing with prboom plus and HMP or UV

[barren shore]

Seems like usual joke wad, huh? But it's totally playable and has a lotta interesting features

[hoary spindle]

I may need some mod help

if someone could DM me and figure this out would be gud

[safe steppe]

Just state your problem here and if someone knows the solution they will tell you

[quiet trench]

This is my first mod All Doom

[burnt terrace]

hey guys, I'm trying to make some minor sprite edits to doom classic for something else
since it's for a specific purpose I'm usin a pk3 mod that makes the game not gory (and also funny) as some kind of base because I only want to edit doom guy and some other stuff

I'm using SADE to edit this and I've been able to modify some stuff up, but only the stuff that the og modder changed (aka bloody stuff)
is there a way to add the whole set of og sprites to the mod so I can modify em?

[whole blade]

Yes you can add new stuff but you'll need to code the new actors

[burnt terrace]

Oh but I don't want new stuff, I just want to edit all the doom guy sprites, which are not appearing in the program because they werent needed to edit in the mod

[wispy relic]

if you want to overwrite existing sprites, you simply make new ones in your pk3 or w/e that have the same names as the original

So the player sprites it looks like range from PLAYA1 - PLAYG8, then from PLAYH0 all the way to PLAYW0

[ancient steeple]

Does anyone here know how to install external conversions to the Unity versions? I wanna install Chex Quest and such

[wispy relic]

static portals are the bane of my existence smh my head

[whole blade]

What's the problem? They can be bastards but once you know the limitations and set up sequence they're not too bad

[wispy relic]

Well, if you wanna try figuring out what's going on, gimme one sec

@whole blade Okay, so in this WAD that I'm making, the level **EHM1 **has a lot of extensive portal work done to create illusions and get the player to go "huh?"
With that in mind, I found that in most cases due to what I was trying to accomplish Static portals weren't suitable and couldn't work. Unfortunate, but oh well.
There was one place though where I left the portals as Static, since it was a fairly orthodox "I'm making a tunnel but don't want to bother with 3D floors and junk"
These did not give me any problems at all when I first put them in. (Attached is the latest working wad and a screenie of where the static portals are in Doombuilder)

[whole blade]

Because static portals actually move the geometry, if you have multiple ones in the same spaces, each pair has to be in exactly the same relative position to any other pair

[wispy relic]

Now, some time later, I decided to add in a few simple scripts that update the player on where they are in the level (like in Doom 3). This works via a simple array and HUD messages, so it should have nothing to do with just about anything else. It's worked with no problems on the other maps.
Or so I thought, but for whatever reason now the game crashes on this specific map whenever

1. there are monsters roaming, and
2. I walk through any of the line portals on the map.
   To further confound me, this issue magically goes away when I make the static portals from earlier into the visual/teleporter type. (Attached here is the wad with issues)

[wispy relic]

That's the thing, this is basically the most conventional use of static portals

I double and triple checked that they were all lined up properly, and before I put in these new scripts there were no issues

[whole blade]

Something must've moved

Do you get a crash log?

Normally when static portals break you just can't go through them

[wispy relic]

No, the screen gets frozen while the music keeps going

like, they're still aligned properly. That didn't change at all

I dunno. Like I said, the fix just seems to be making them into the simple teleporters

Maybe if graf zahl or someone took a look at it they could figure out where I'm messing up, because I sure as heck can't

[white saddle]

man, I ran out of ideas fast

maybe make a new wad or something but I’m not too sure what to theme it on

Making totally original stuff is kinda difficult

anyone know any good doom mods?

[wispy relic]

funnily enough, while I love making mods and stuff I really haven't tried many others

Plutonia II is pretty neat, and there's this level set called Evil Tech that I thought was cool

That's about all I've really played through lmao

[wispy relic]

if I may ask a quick question @upbeat path
these see-through floors you have here

is that as simple as making a flat with transparency and using it for a 3D floor or whatever? or do you do it some other way

[upbeat path]

since I'm using UDMF I'm using a fence midtexture in there

which in fact does have translucency so yeah, essentially just make the floor and ceiling of the 3d floor the same height and you'll get that effect

[wispy relic]

gotcha. Was thinking that's all that effect was but never actually tried it myself lol

[trail steeple]

question: how can you make a transparent 3d floor ?

[trail steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/ip-grabber-ip-grabber-thanos-gif-21846609

[safe steppe]

I don't know why the link it so long tho

[trail steeple]

this looks sus

[safe steppe]

No problemo I will just screenshot the site

@trail steeple

[trail steeple]

interesting

[safe steppe]

I have no clue why that link looked like that but here you go images are better anyway

[wispy relic]

alternatively,

[wispy relic]

you can simply reduce the opacity of a 3D floor

[safe steppe]

Oh I'm dumb

Well to be fair I don't use UDMF

[white saddle]

how can i make conveyor belts

im using boom format

[safe steppe]

You put a linedef with the action "scroll move things according to line vector" inside the sector you want to turn into a conveyor belt

[white saddle]

okay got the action but how can it activate

[safe steppe]

• the linedef's length and direction decide it's speed and direction respectively

[white saddle]

ok

[safe steppe]

You can't activate it on a switch if I am not mistaken but you can simple put a 32 hieght floor to block the thing from going forward until its lowered

• also make sure to tag both the sector and lindef with the same tag

[white saddle]

im trying to make it always run

action 253?

[safe steppe]

Then just simply apply tags

[white saddle]

okay

[safe steppe]

I don't remember the exact action number sorry

But it should say "Scroll move things..."

[white saddle]

action 253 says scroll floor, move things

[safe steppe]

Probably the correct one

[white saddle]

ok it worked thanks for the help

[safe steppe]

No probs

[trail steeple]

here's the newest version of my doom 2 wad,play in gzdoom

any feedback is appriciated

note:map04 is unfinished

[white saddle]

pretty fun to play, and cool enimies but the texturing is kinda bad

like the stretched ones

[white saddle]

also how can i make custom enimies those punching revenants are funny

[crisp dragon]

in Boom, you replace an existing enemy with a custom one

so use an enemy you don't use(most likely wolfenstein SS) then add a custom monster and set it to replace the SS pretty sure

[trail steeple]

can you give me examples of places where this looks the worst ?

i may try to fix 'em textures

[white saddle]

howcan i replace them though

[crisp dragon]

use SLADE

[white saddle]

mainly stretched textures or some stone looking ones that dont fit in that much

[white saddle]

okay

[trail steeple]

by stone-looking you mean like the ones in the red brick baron cage room ?

[white saddle]

yeah

and in map 01 theres some textures that just swap to new ones

[trail steeple]

i think it looks better now

[white saddle]

yeah looks good

need midi suggestions for map 08

ill probably start a new wad with more story and more fitting level patterns

this is just kinda me making maps

[trail steeple]

pro tip: try improving the previous maps based on the feedback we gave you a few months ago (texture fixing,removing enemies right behind the spawn etc.)

i like how this area looks,i dunno why

but i don't really understand this

[trail steeple]

question: what's up with those holes in floors with enemies in them

[wispy relic]

because of the way the doom renderer works, whenever there are missing textures like that, the floor "stretches" to cover them up

It allows you to make enemies that instantly pop up without warning

Or if you just wanna hide some enemies that will come up later, it works fine for that too

[white saddle]

they pop up

but their wont be an hom

why wont a decorate file appear

im trying to add a new monster

ive done everything right

[haughty flower]

can yall check out this thing ive been making past 4 hours? its not done... yet also it was too big to post
https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-2-the-challenge/addons/hitscan-hell

[wispy relic]

DECORATE only works in (G)ZDoom

Furthermore your editor may not recognize that you've added new monsters/weapons/etc.

For Ultimate Doombuilder at least, there is some code you can put in your DECORATE files with SLADE to make them pop up where you want them to

here are a few examples that I've done. It's the commented out stuff with the dollar signs

The only other thing would be to make sure you've given your new monster a valid editor ID, otherwise it won't show up in Doombuilder at all.

[crisp dragon]

Im late to the party but DECORATE only works with ZDoom based ports

It doesn't work on Boom

[agile shoal]

If you are looking for something that even works on vanilla, try DeHackEd

[crisp dragon]

ooh

"finish the maps as fast as possible"
sounds like something for the speedrunner in me

[haughty flower]

If mapping wasnt a pain in my [REDACTED]

Why isnt there a bytton shortcut to select all enemies

[trail steeple]

it only works in gzdoom

also,when opening your wad in UDB i am getting a dehacked error

[safe steppe]

I think you can just use the "thing" tool and select the entire map or CTRL + A

But that would also select teleporters and players so becareful

[safe steppe]

sneak peek

[white saddle]

What’s the error

[white saddle]

hm

Does it still function good?

[trail steeple]

seams like it

[white saddle]

weird

[haughty flower]

Yea i only need all enemys to show up not the whole map :D

[white saddle]

okay map 8 is done, still need to find midi for it, also this map is pretty tough so have fun

ok added midi

[lofty isle]

Whats the best map/mod to train and evolve in Classic doom because im not good and i what to be able to play harder levels from the community because they are the ones that have the most time put into them

[hexed atlas]

SIGIL is a good way to train in my opinion, I guess DOOM 1 E4 works as well but it can get way too stressful

[crisp dragon]

I think you should realize that most of SIGIL is harder than E4

[hexed atlas]

He did say he wanted to get good at harder maps, and while SIGIL can be naturally harder, I think E4 has a lot more unfair moments. I'm not a fan of E4 if you couldn't tell lmao

[crisp dragon]

Most of E4 imo is lackluster, especially E4M4. The only remotely challenging maps is M1, M2, and M6(Low health for M1, baron count, enemy density and hazardous floor for M2, and the cyberdemon turret and hazardous floor in M6)

[hexed atlas]

Sums up my thoughts perfectly, M1 is the only level in E4 that I actually like, and I guess M2 is okay, but I have a strong distaste for E4

[crisp dragon]

E4M2 is probably my favorite level

and funnily enough, my first map I completed on Nightmare! difficulty

[vocal crypt]

there any demon reskin mods.
I'm playing the Spawn Path to Damnation mod and wonderin' if there's something that'd fit his aesthetic or whatnot

[whole blade]

You can set up thing filters to do this

[pallid field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRI2rTwvWfk what king of mod is this guy using? the animations are beautiful

[hexed atlas]

How do I convert a mp3 to midi? Nothing on Google seems to help

[haughty flower]

he's using a mod called Smooth Doom

[pallid field]

ohhhhhh

Never knew that, thanks

[haughty flower]

yw

[safe steppe]

You cant

The way mp3 and MIDI works is very different

You gotta recreate the song with midi limitations

Or use an engine that supports mp3 like (G)ZDoom

[haughty flower]

you can but good fucking lord they sound cursed as hell

[hexed atlas]

So does Ultimate DOOM Builder support mp3?

[safe steppe]

Ultimate doom builder is the mapping program

what you want is a source port that supports mp3

if you don't care about support for other engines you can make a map in UDMF format which will run only on GZDoom but have mp3

if you care about support for other source ports then you gotta stick with midi

it's a matter of personal preference

[trail steeple]

either to midi or mus

[hexed atlas]

I will use only GZDoom, I don't care about that part, I just don't know how to import mp3 as it only says midi

[trail steeple]

just put it into your .wad file via SLADE3

[hexed atlas]

Does Ultimate DOOM Builder support it? I'm just starting out and Ultimate looks a bit easier than SLADE

[safe steppe]

Ultimate DOOM Builder is used to edit maps, SLADE is used to edit assets

[trail steeple]

again,UDB is a editor
if your .wad is made in the UDMF format then the wad will support it

you NEED Slade3 for modding and adding assets,sticking just to UDB pretty much limits you

[hexed atlas]

Ah so I can make the maps in UDB then use SLADE for everything else?

[safe steppe]

Exactly

[trail steeple]

yup

[hexed atlas]

Nice thanks

[trail steeple]

slade3 also allows you to make maps,but i find it very limited and uncomfortable

[hexed atlas]

That was what I had noticed when looking at SLADE

[trail steeple]

i generally just make maps in UDB and add assets to them via slade

also,pro-tip:

i have heard somewhere that you ahve to put custom content in slade above the stuff you made in the map editor (just above map and map-related files) otherwise there is a chance that the custom stuff will break

[hexed atlas]

I don't think I'll be using custom textures, just custom music

[trail steeple]

just put it above the map files in slade

also:

you can make a MAPIINFO file in your wad,it allows you to set what music has to play in a level,which level comes after it,what sky is the main one etc.

https://youtu.be/EucWtn__O8Q this video will help you get started with mapping,making mapinfo files,and it will help you with using slade3

hope it helps

[hexed atlas]

Thanks a ton

I'll probably be back soon lmao

[crisp dragon]

you can but it turns them into auditory illusions

it's cursed as fuck

yeah I just tried

auditory illusion confirmed

it's only piano but I can hear vocals where there are none

[bitter hare]

hey

does anybody know if there is a chex quest discord server

[stuck ridge]

ummm hey look, in my opinion while playing this mod is that I consider that when you open a door many enemies await you every door is literally a trap and another thing that I think you should consider is that there are many places where they can hide from the archiviles ty

Another important thing is that for each level there are monsters waiting to kill you this means that if you did not gather enough life in the previous level you will die in the next
At the end of level 3 in the battle with the cybbber demon I think you are putting a lot of difficulty for the player due to the mancubus behind and when you grabbed the red skull you have very little life left to face the cyberdemon

[white saddle]

Yeah map 3 is bad

probably gonna remake 2 and 3

[trail steeple]

pro tip: don't make a frustrating/ultra hard wad as your first project

imo,the earliest maps (something around map01 - map06) need a total remake

things to note:
-remove enemies that spawn behind/in front/right next to the spawn point (something like a single zombieman or any other weak enemy who is facing a wall/door/a direction he can't see you in is fine)
-if making an archie jump,make sure that the reward is worth it and that i cannot soft-lock the game (that was the case in map06 i believe)
-don't just spam strong enemies/big groups of hitscanners and call it a day,make sure the wad is fair and fun to play
-align every texture
-make sure that textures look good and work together

[safe steppe]

Question: what's an old open source and really basic doom map editor?

the most basic editor there is

[trail steeple]

doomed editor that id used

not sure about the open-source part tho

[safe steppe]

I think I found something for my needs

ReDoomEd, a linux port of DoomEd

[hexed atlas]

Just one very basic level, custom title screen music and an endscreen message you guys probably won't get lmao

Is anyone here really good at mapping?

I mean I clearly need some pointers as that level is... not the best

[whole blade]

Hi. What do you think you need help with? (I can't test the wad as I am at work)

[trail steeple]

i can share some tutorials

https://youtu.be/EucWtn__O8Q
https://youtu.be/6arDCzmhONY

[hexed atlas]

I watched the first one, it's more so the creative side, as I can't seem to make a good interconnected level

[trail steeple]

alright,let's talk about what we can do about this

first,try using textures that work well together

[hexed atlas]

Well I was trying to go for a entering Hell feeling

[trail steeple]

second,having enemies see the palyer right on the spawn is not a good idea,it makes the map artificially harder

[hexed atlas]

Fair enough, I should move them

[trail steeple]

third,texture aligning

try shrinking the doors,add a wall or something,resize the textures and so on

[hexed atlas]

So how do I fix that?

[trail steeple]

may i edit the map to show you how ?

[hexed atlas]

Sure I don't care

[trail steeple]

i'll try improving the map so you can see how it looks and take notes

[hexed atlas]

Alright thanks

[trail steeple]

so first i made a small beginning room,so the player can prepare themselves for the demons ahead + added a shotgun to the start

[hexed atlas]

I don't know why I didn't think of this but how did you make the teleporter?

[trail steeple]

it's quite simple

you make a linedef with a teleported action,you add a teleporter destination thing,set the destination tag on the linedef and bam,done

[hexed atlas]

Alright makes sense

[hexed atlas]

@trail steeple How do I fix the door texture?

[royal wave]

Posted an update to my mod for GZDoom: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=72802

[stuck ridge]

Nice principal character

[crisp dragon]

it's not that bad though

SIGIL has you starting out with a spectre, a few imps, and shotgun in a room with strobing lights

[whole blade]

Hot starts are 100% fine as long as it's not something unavoidable like 6 chaingunners right in front of you

[crisp dragon]

^

Hot starts are more interesting imho

[whole blade]

You don't want to do them all the time but they are good to chuck in there to mix things up

[clever thunder]

I apologize for being an absolute noob here, but does anyone here know how to make working buttons (with the animation and sound effects) in Ultimate Doom Builder? I’ve never made one before. Lol

Thinking about having it raise a platform, kind of like an elevator

[whole blade]

Switches are a product of 2 things. An action, and an animated texture.

The first part is done by choosing your action (and making sure it is something activated by the use function)

The 2nd is choosing a switch texture

[haughty flower]

every map i try to make becomes me trying to make a slaughtery marble map

but then i end up not setting the actions right and its just irritating

[clever thunder]

@whole blade Gotcha. Thx so much for letting me know! I’ll see what I can do

[eager frigate]

My new deathmatch level

[trail steeple]

i think your sky texture is broken

[safe steppe]

Not necessarily broken but an usual choice for sure

[trail steeple]

yeah,a very odd choice

[eager frigate]

JAM episode 1 is using the same skybox. It was not designed for mouselook though

So the sky maybe text is not visible

[whole blade]

That is a place holder texture for when you've assigned a sky that doesn't exist

So might wanna fix that

[trail steeple]

time to fix le sky in slade

[trail steeple]

the mapinfo in your wad looks broken to me

[trail steeple]

i think i fixed it

[trail steeple]

sorry for the VERY late answer,but you can move it with arrows and resize after right-clicking

also,gonna share how much i've modified your wad as of now

[hexed atlas]

Sorry I've been really busy lmao thank you so much for helping me

[plush cave]

hi

yay i was searching this

[dreamy valve]

guys how do i make these official dlc to work

also how do i make it work

[safe steppe]

You just drag and drop whatever map you want onto LZDoom and it should open

[dreamy valve]

ah thanks

[dreamy valve]

how do i know it work or not?

[safe steppe]

start a new game

[dreamy valve]

like i just finish the attack map

but it say the map name is entrey way

[safe steppe]

Do you know what entryway looks like?

have you played doom2 before?

if you don't know, try opening another map and see if it's identical or different

[dreamy valve]

i have but that was a long time ago,sorry if i have disturbed you

[safe steppe]

do you remember what entryway is like is what I meant

[dreamy valve]

some of those work and some of those doesnt

[safe steppe]

hmmmmmm

Ah alright I remember now

read the txt file of each map

[dreamy valve]

yeah there is a chainsaw aounrd u at the start right?

[safe steppe]

some of them aren't on map slot 1,

[dreamy valve]

oh it replace map 25

[safe steppe]

check which map slot the file takes (it should say it in the txt) and to go to that level type inside doom this cheat code: IDCLEV (MAPNUM)

[safe steppe]

yeah so open it with lzdoom and when you start a game type IDCLEV 25

[dreamy valve]

thanks let me try it now

oh it worked!

[safe steppe]

glad it did

have fun!

although some people don't like the master levels, a bunch of these levels are fun

[dreamy valve]

[wispy relic]

Some ports (like Crispy Doom) will automatically put all of the Master levels in order for you, so that way you don’t have to close the game and warp every time you finish a level

[safe steppe]

I have been working on a doom builder for 5 hours but I still haven't compiled it even once yet I am so scared of the imminent bugs

[haughty flower]

hell, eternity has a menu that will load the master levels as if it were Doom-It

[vagrant pebble]

About the current state of the Doosk mod:

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=70358&p=1207791#p1207791

[wispy relic]

I have a new level if anyone would be up for trying it

Vanilla/limit-removing, replaces map15 of Doom 2, doesn't need additional resources

never tried making something like it before, so I could really use feedback on whether it's fun or not

[dreamy valve]

i just try it and i died from archville that i cant see where it is

not really a weapon mod

it can't really be described,you have to see it for yourself

ok thank you

[rose garnet]

appreciated

[shadow trail]

i made a shitpost mod months ago named banana factory accident
check it out if you are interested

[rose garnet]

does it work on doom legacy

im onna windows7 laptop

[shadow trail]

well it requires doom 2.iwad
and gzdoom source port with hardware rendering on

i really dont know if it runs on doom legacy

most likely not

[crisp dragon]

if it is then I feel sorry for you

[barren shore]

Does anyone have the doom center maps

[white saddle]

oh no a cyberemond

[hexed atlas]

So what are your guys favorite kinds of maps? I want to include all different types in my 32 level megawad

[strong kelp]

Slaughter maps are great

Holy Hell, The path 2, Pretty much all of speed of doom

[hexed atlas]

I'm going insane everyone, how the hell do I change the game title in SLADE?

[hexed atlas]

Noted

@whole blade Hate to ping but I actually can't find out how to do this

[whole blade]

you mean the map title?

[hexed atlas]

No like the actual title of the game itself, to make it where it doesn't say DOOM 2

[whole blade]

you mean the menu picture?

that's an image

you'll have to replace MDOOM with your own

i think that's the name of the original asset

[hexed atlas]

No, so you how in GZDOOM it says DOOM 2 then the map name? How do I change it to where it says my mod name then the map name

[whole blade]

you're gonna have to show me what you're talking about mate

[hexed atlas]

Alright

[hexed atlas]

How do I change the DOOM 2 thing to my mod name

[whole blade]

where is that from

that image

gonna need wider context

[hexed atlas]

Alright

[hexed atlas]

It's what the wad is being read as I think but idk how to change this thing

[whole blade]

yeah that's the iwad you are using. if you load up a doom 1 wad it'll say "the ultimate doom". only way to get rid of that is make a standalone game

[hexed atlas]

Alright and how do I do that?

[whole blade]

or just run in fullscreen and out of sight, out of mind 😉

you replace every doom asset so there are none left

good luck

[hexed atlas]

Never mind then! But uh I can change the title screen picture and that image above the pause menu right?

[whole blade]

yes you can replace that relatively easily

[hexed atlas]

Alright thank you so much, that'll be much easier

Well back to mapping

[whole blade]

np

[neon pike]

you can use STARTUPTITLE on GAMEINFO, like this

[whole blade]

That just changes the loading screen window title iirc. Not the actual game window

That small 16bit colour image screen with the loading bar

[neon pike]

it seems that it also changes the title bars

[whole blade]

Huh, #todayilearned

I play full screen so I never see that bar

[neon pike]

lol

[hexed atlas]

That you so so much, I assume I do that just like mapinfo?

Like just make a new text lump in SLADE?

[neon pike]

yes, just create a file with the name GAMEINFO and put this

[hexed atlas]

Thank god lmfao, I think it's weird how little SLADE and GAMEINFO tutorials there are compared to MAPINFO

[hexed atlas]

Should I put Hexen or Doom2 for startup type

[neon pike]

both of them work

[hexed atlas]

Is there a better one?

[neon pike]

depends, Hexen is good if you want to show an image at startup, but it is more of a personal choice

[hexed atlas]

So DOOM 2 is just the normal bootup that you see when booting the DOOM 2 iwad? If so I'll probably just do that

[neon pike]

you better read this because I am terrible at explaining things :p https://zdoom.org/wiki/GAMEINFO https://zdoom.org/wiki/Startup_lumps

[hexed atlas]

So basically go with Hexen lmao

[hexed atlas]

I'm going to release a playable beta late tonight/tomorrow of my mod

[hexed atlas]

How do I make a good city map in UDB? There doesn't seem to be any videos referencing this

[plush cave]

nothing happens

[royal wave]

What do you mean

[white saddle]

Is it possible to have custom monsters in boom format

[royal wave]

Yes, but how you get them in depends on what source port you’re aiming to use.

If you want the easiest time, look up how to use Decorate for zdoom based source ports and learn how to get those engines to recognize them

Otherwise if you want something more closer to vanilla support, DeHacked is the way to go

[white saddle]

sneak peak of me getting my ass beat by the start of my own map

couldve done slower but whatev

[royal wave]

Make the windows sound blocking linedefs to lure the player into a false sense of security

there is nothing in the wad i think

[royal wave]

Just downloaded it. Works just fine. Walk me through your process.

[plush cave]

then its just me

dont worry

[haughty flower]

what do you all use to make midis for your wads +any ideas for me to not make another monster closet and nuts imitation festival

I use mp3s personally

[shadow trail]

a view from the skyscrapers

also a small sneak peak of my wip contest mod for br0leg

[hexed atlas]

Is this a city level??

[shadow trail]

well this is after the city level i made

its some sort of a small map before a big one
which takes place in a skyscraper

(that big sky scraper above the door)

[hexed atlas]

I have no idea how to make city maps lol, I just started mapping

[shadow trail]

oh well its not that hard if you know what to do

just some streets and buildings
nothing much

unless if you are going far and beyond and adding other stuff like shops and malls

[hexed atlas]

Nah I would just want a map or two like Downtown in DOOM 2

I love that map lmao

[shadow trail]

well main is kinda looks like one
i can send screenshots if you are interested

Very, I haven't seen any tutorials online or anything referencing how to make a city map in UDB

[shadow trail]

not the best city map ever
but i tried my best

[hexed atlas]

That looks good

[shadow trail]

appreciate it

[hexed atlas]

I'm interested in playing this mod now, I love city levels

It looks inspired by Nuke Dukem 3D, but I may be wrong there

[shadow trail]

it is
i even used some texture from it

[shadow trail]

you can play it when its out on br0legs contest

its gonna have some jokes here and there but its just another doom mod

[hexed atlas]

I have no idea what that is but alright, and there's nothing wrong with just a level mod

As long as you don't have it keep playing normal DOOM 2 levels after your levels

[shadow trail]

no its not just a level mod
it has custom weapon and big levels
with some alt maps for more stuff

[hexed atlas]

That's a pet peeve of mine

[haughty flower]

h man this looks really cool

[shadow trail]

well its not like doom2 levels
its kinda unique and chaotic

[shadow trail]

much obliged

[hexed atlas]

Well this is what I mean, let's say it's a nine map mod but after you beat map 9 it goes to normal DOOM 2 map 10

Idk that's just a pet peeve of mine

[shadow trail]

no it has ending and scripted scenes

[hexed atlas]

Nice sounds good

I'm mapping a 32 map megawad by myself

(There may even be more honestly)

[shadow trail]

nice good luck with that

[hexed atlas]

I would have my friends helped but they've never even played DOOM

[shadow trail]

you mean help with playtesting?

[hexed atlas]

No with mapping

But yeah some playtesters wouldn't be bad

[trail steeple]

this looks harder than plutonia

also,if there are archviles,then why is there practically no cover from them

[white saddle]

archvile gets released inside of the buidling

its kinda easy to hide from him but hes annoying with all the ressurecting he can do

also i was wondering

how can two or more people make a wad

im kinda confused cuz im starting a project with some people soon

[plush cave]

send the wad and they will continue it?

[wispy relic]

There are different ways you can handle version control

usually for a community project where there's a bunch of different mappers, whoever's the lead person will maintain a resource WAD (new textures, sprites, etc.) if there is that stuff

and everyone else will make their levels standalone files that load assets from the resource WAD and whatever IWAD you're using

that way the project lead can handle compiling the levels all together with ease

Alternatively, if you're working with a smaller group on a project and you're all putting stuff into the resource pool, you can use something like Github I'm pretty sure

but I've never worked with it so idk how that would go in practice

[crisp dragon]

it is, not just "it looks"

I would compare this with something akin to scythe 2

or plut2 or HR2

that hectic start just reminds of HR2's map01

imps in the front, shotgunners in the back, and a horde of cacos you have to take care with a shotgun(?) i think

or was it a SSG? I don't remember and frankly I don't care enough to check

[plush cave]

it looks hard

[white saddle]

kinda tough map however you take care of the start

[hexed atlas]

First ever build of the game! Four beatable levels and an fifth unbeatable one!

Map01 needs a lot of fixing, it was made before I got any good at mapping

Map02 is better but still has some flaws, Map03 is my favorite and I think Map04 is an okay fast slaughter map

[crisp dragon]

i'll try em out

what format and what port to run?

eh fuck it, I'll try with GZDoom first

first thing I gotta say is that the first door looks kinda weird since it's a cut off door texture

and it's especially thicc

the blue circle texture on the bottom kinda weird to me

[hexed atlas]

GZDoom because it uses mp3

[hexed atlas]

Yeah Map01 needs a lot of fixes

[trail steeple]

also,gonna post how much i've already modified your first map (it still isn't finished)

[trail steeple]

i also advise you to look at the MAPINFO file i fixed there for you

so let's see map02..

well,i'd say that this much shotgunners in a tight space may result in the palyer quickly dying

also,a bit of correction about how much damage the liquids should do (when looking at vanilla)
-nukage = 5 health/second
-blood = 10 health/second
-lava = 20 health/second

[trail steeple]

advice: try making your maps less "flat"
by "flat" i mean lacking detail and height variety

question about the fourth map:
how is the palyer meant to survive this ?

i see a common theme about your maps

you seam to try putting the player into very difficult situations

While that's not a bad thing,i'd recommend doing something easier than throwing the player into a room with 15 shotgunners right at the start

also,if i were you'i wouldn't put any monsters right behind the player without them having a clue of them being there

[hexed atlas]

Slaughter map

[hexed atlas]

I just started mapping, and I have no help with this project

[crisp dragon]

Not exactly, only if they pistol start

if not, they have the SSG

and I assume most people will use do single segments

but for pistol starting, I don't think it's too rough either

quickly kill a shotgunner then immediately take cover, and then take potshots

there's no doubt that some of the shotgunners in the back qould also cause some infighting

[hexed atlas]

So @crisp dragon is it good? I know map01 sucks but how is the rest?

[crisp dragon]

I couldn't finish it today because I had things to do, but I'll post my review tmr

[hexed atlas]

Alright

[plush cave]

its really good

[hexed atlas]

You really think so?

[plush cave]

yes

the texts are funny

[hexed atlas]

Yeah the writing is cool I guess lmao

[crisp dragon]

it's pretty good

the maps feel sort of linear and flat though

there are a couple of alignment issues here and there, like some strange textures or door problems

and some key switches aren't tagged correctly

The firefight at the start of map04 might be my most favorite though

but why put a plasma rifle at the very end? Seems like it serves no purpose but for people doing single segment

[tender seal]

Elementalism, the big GZDoom mapset I've been leading for the last few years, has a new release date trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtpqv2YmSb4

[safe steppe]

Damn that looks insane

[hexed atlas]

Map05 and further

[hexed atlas]

And I'm not good with different lengths of floor

[shadow trail]

eye candy

great shit

[hexed atlas]

Honestly I'll take submissions if anyone wants to send me a map or two of their own to put in

Maybe I'll make like a bonus episode or something

[safe steppe]

Found something really cool for boom format mappers, the official boom edit example map, it has example of all boom format features being used https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/themes/TeamTNT/boom/boomedit

[shadow trail]

this will come in handy

[safe steppe]

oh and here is the official video https://youtu.be/d7WBQH5-1ps

[plush cave]

when will you finist it?

[wispy relic]

Made a thread over on Doomworld about a "Grandmaster Levels" community project; see here for more details: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/126411-“grandmaster-levels”-community-project-–-interest-check/

[safe steppe]

Darn that's cool af

[distant sedge]

GTA Eternal

Yessir

[distant sedge]

Omg creepy but I want to play this

[lime kestrel]

is thete a mod that mixes doom 64 and classic sfx together?

[shadow trail]

appreciate it

[haughty flower]

hello, im new to doom modding, how do you make sprites show up in gzdoom builder?

[trail steeple]

my advice: move onto Ultimate Doom builder

[haughty flower]

wha

[trail steeple]

gzdb is outdated

[haughty flower]

oh

[trail steeple]

Ultimate Doom builder is newer

[haughty flower]

imma search it on google

[shadow trail]

also you need slade3 for that

its basically for modding and adding custom content

[spiral onyx]

lol

so uh for the past few days, every time i vaped d8 i'd go and work on a doom map, and it turned into an idea for a 12 map miniwad

i am still not done with the first level...

[haughty flower]

Hey i wanna play smoothdoom.pk3 on zandronum but it shows
Script error, "SmoothDoom.pk3:deco/monsters/zombieman.txt" line 50 Expected string constant but got '+' instead.
Any help? ):

[whole blade]

Have you checked that smooth doom is compatible with zandronum?

Which a quick Google tells me it is not

[plush cave]

this map kinda looks like thefactoryv3finalrelease.wad

[spiral onyx]

is that a good thing or a bad thing

[plush cave]

good

[haughty flower]

I dunno

[plush cave]

oh so it was because i had an old version

the error message didnt show up at the other doom i had

[crisp dragon]

I wonder why people never bother to check themselves beforehand if something is compatible with the port they're using

[static iron]

Guys, what are some of the best doom 2 wads

[plush cave]

how?

[crisp dragon]

Just do a quick read of what the textfile or what it says on ModDB

[shadow trail]

depends on what kinda of doom mods you looking for

[static iron]

The brutal doom kind

[plush cave]

i did

[crisp dragon]

Just some good mods in general:

Embers Of Armageddon(EOA)
Embers Of Armageddon: Eternal(EOAE)
Corruption Cards
Abort Mod
Doom One
Call of Doom
Project Brutality
Beautiful Doom

[static iron]

Thank you! I will save this for future reference.

[plush cave]

i like creepy wads

[crisp dragon]

Abort you can't get on the Internet, but I have a file for it

[static iron]

Why not?

[crisp dragon]

it was taken down, I'm not too sure why

[plush cave]

i found a page with wads but its sus

[crisp dragon]

what is it?

oh right, Russian Overkill is also a good mod if you don't have it already

[plush cave]

oh yeah

i downloaded it but i forgot to play it

[trail steeple]

what's the paage

[haughty flower]

guys whats that one mod that had like super hard weapons

that u needed instruction to even load or control

[safe steppe]

complex doom?

[haughty flower]

nah i remember seeing a video of a guy who couldnt like shoot a revolver

i think it had seperate buttons to load unload etc.

[safe steppe]

Hideous Destructor?

[safe steppe]

I think it's Hideous destructor

[haughty flower]

YEA THATS THE ONE thanks

my friend betted 20 dollars that i can learn the mod without the manual

i only know few things like holding r just to not drop the magazine XD

[crisp dragon]

Yikes lmao

[stuck ridge]

send harder mods :3 for doom 2 or idk

[trail steeple]

sunlust

[haughty flower]

hideous destructor u need over 5 keybinds to reload a revolver XDD

unload
close cylinder
ammo managment
reload
convert mag to ammo

[stuck ridge]

already have that xd

[stuck ridge]

oke ? let me check

[haughty flower]

It took me 3 hours just to realise how to reload a damn pistol

[stuck ridge]

hmm how can obtain the mod ?

and what need for the autorun ?

[haughty flower]

Search hideous destructor and there should be like a forum i recommend gzdoom port bcuz its better

[haughty flower]

For jogging running deplets ur stamina u move way slower then in normal doom and jogging is good but it makes ur accuracy bad wlaking makes it better

[stuck ridge]

oke

• downloading *

[haughty flower]

Recommend some sort of tutorial bcuz it has more mechanics

U have to pick up things manually ur sniper can get jammed u can bleed out u need to finish ur enemies so theyre not faking death etc.

[stuck ridge]

i see

[haughty flower]

Dunno recommend shooting range just to get a lil familiar

[pallid depot]

hello

does anybody here does pixel art like in Doom?

[haughty flower]

Prob not but i sometimes just take a sprite and i depixelate it with its color with nearly no details

[haughty flower]

so hows it going? 😄

[quasi cradle]

does anyone know much about using custom soundfonts?

[wispy relic]

Like for music?

I know how to configure it for GZDoom, but I'm not too sure about other ports

@quasi cradle

[quasi cradle]

i'm trying to get one to work with Woof

[wispy relic]

ah. Yeah, idk what to do there then

[night pond]

i underestimated H2H Xmas

i thought it would be easy, but there was a revenant and archvile swarm in level 2

[agile shoal]

should be similar to prboom+

open the file where settings are stored (in dsda-doom its called dsda-doom.cfg, so maybe woof calls it woof.cfg)

find "snd_soundfont" and put there the path to the soundfont

[edgy mesa]

hello again, how do you edit the ending text? i tried using WackEd4 but it just bombs out with an error

[distant sedge]

Hmm

[agile shoal]

what source port are you targeting?

[edgy mesa]

GZdoom

sorry im late

[agile shoal]

Well then there is no need to mess with DeHackedFiles

gzdoom has something called MAPINFO

[edgy mesa]

yes ik

idk how to use it

[agile shoal]

You can change the ending text very easily

[edgy mesa]

all ik is how to change map names

[agile shoal]

https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO

[edgy mesa]

Cluster definition?

[agile shoal]

episode i think

but maybe im wrong

[edgy mesa]

https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Episode_definition

[agile shoal]

no you were right

[edgy mesa]

oh

[agile shoal]

its cluster definition
cluster 5
{
flat = OGRATB02
music = D_READ_M
exittext =
"In the farthest reaches, a Light",
"awoke, and cast his luminous rays",
"on all around him.",
" ",
"He fashioned a world unto his image,",
"created beasts of his will, and declared",
"himself eternal, ruler of his domain.",
" ",
"But his hubris cast a sickness, and",
"from distant worlds called forth ",
"the agent of retribution, drawn ",
"through the cosmos by his pride. ",
" ",
"It cast down his beasts, it rejected ",
"his rule, and through lands eternal ",
"it brought forth his doom."
}

[edgy mesa]

is that the ending text for doom 2?

[agile shoal]

its the example from the wiki

[edgy mesa]

oh

[agile shoal]

https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO#Cluster_definition

[edgy mesa]

just put the text in MAPINFO using slade 3?

[agile shoal]

I never worked with cluster definition, but I think you need to assign it a number (5 in the example), and maybe link that number to the episode

Or maybe the number is just the index of the episode

oh

[edgy mesa]

o

[agile shoal]

You have to link it in the map definition

[edgy mesa]

wha

just put 5

[agile shoal]

so

cluster 1
{
some text
}

map MAP01
{
cluster=1
}

[edgy mesa]

this is my map info file, map MAP01 "Nazi Camp 1"
{

titlepatch = "CWILV00"
next = "MAP02"
secretnext = "MAP02"
sky1 = "SKY1"
cluster = 5
par = 30
music = "$MUSIC_RUNNIN"

}

map MAP02 "Nazi Camp 2"
{
titlepatch = "CWILV01"
next = "EndGameC"
secretnext = "EndGameC"
sky1 = "SKY1"
cluster = 5
par = 90
music = "$MUSIC_STALKS"
}

cluster 5
{
flat = OGRATB02
music = D_READ_M
exittext =
"Thanks for playing my mod! -MCG1047"

}

[agile shoal]

yeah I thing thats right

[edgy mesa]

imma test it ill be right back

"Cannot find map01"

[agile shoal]

Are you using doom2 as the iwad?

[edgy mesa]

yes

i think its becaust i accidentally pressed "size" in slade

it scattered all the files

yea its becaust of that

thank god theres three back up files

[edgy mesa]

mate there's no background, there's just text

[agile shoal]

hmm

well
idk

[wispy relic]

Change this
"flat =** OGRATB02**"
to an actual flat in Doom 2

for example "flat = FLAT5_6"

[loud spruce]

Some DeHackEd sorcery.

Flynn Taggart... in the flesh... Or, Rather, in the Mega Armor

[haughty flower]

hey is it possible to combine 2 mods into 1 mod?

[safe steppe]

Depends, but it has to be done manually and requires modding knowledge

Something like a map mod with a gameplay mod can easily be merged

but trying to combine two gameplay mods is troublesome

[crisp dragon]

^

[hollow nymph]

Can I ping the admin

Mr KEVANSEVAN hello

[wispy relic]

alright so on a scale of 1-10
how bad an idea would it be to make enemy drops go away if the player doesn't pick them up after a while

[safe steppe]

Sounds like a unique idea tbh

But you need a backup in case the player misses a portion of the ammo

[edgy mesa]

how do you edit gun sprites

[plush cave]

you are doing a wad on mobile?

[safe steppe]

You can play wads on mobile but you can't create ones

At least not yet

[trail steeple]

6/10 imo

[plush cave]

i saw a spanish tutorial

you can

i think you need a emulator i dont remember

[safe steppe]

Not practical but I mean go for it

[loud spruce]

You basically just run Windows via a virtual machine on your phone to access the Doom modding tools.

[edgy mesa]

hey again,how do you compile multiple pk3 file in one wad?

[whole blade]

you don't, you compile them into one pk3

[edgy mesa]

how

[whole blade]

Massively depends on what you're trying to combine. Mashing existing finished products together is not advisable

[edgy mesa]

i just put all the pk3 files into another pk3 file, and copy paste the MAPINFO file

thats what google told me to do

[whole blade]

What are you trying to acheive

[edgy mesa]

an ww2 pack

it works tho

[tiny lotus]

hello, can someone help me with something?

|| now lets wait like 3 years or something ||

[wispy relic]

with wot?

[white saddle]

8 because of a player had no ammo and they would try to find the corpses to pick up their ammo
