do you know how to get a proper kill counter for eternity? arch rezes still make it go over 100 %

royal heron

#

would be nice to crack open a source port and implement one

#

but it never is that easy innit

finite crag
#

if you knew how to code decently I think you could

#

but I don't have any qualification to say anything, I can barely make something with decorate

finite crag
#

Okay, what do you guys think the best doom source port is and why? I personally like crispydoom and gzdoom.

eternal lance
#

there isn't a "best sourceport",since every port has a different purpose and is made for different groups of people

if talking vanilla,Crispy doom or DSDA-doom are great
if talking modding,GZDoom is top-notch

finite crag
#

I agree with you

hallow herald
#

Personally my favorite port is nugget doom

#

I would have said Fwdl but that has weird performance compared to dsda-doom

finite crag
#

I am not kidding i am serious

#

Also i named my plutonia save file as revenantwakeupscream.mp3

#

That's pretty cool, the renderer works on real doom?

molten iron
#

yeah that e1m1

#

it gets the data from the wad

pearl osprey
#

That's amazing tbh

#

did you make it from scratch

molten iron
#

yep

pearl osprey
#

impressive

molten iron
#

I will release the source code on github when its finished

#

Uses Python and PyOpenGL

Thanks :D

Decino just confirmed why doomguy cant look up and down
He broke his neck while vibing and head banging to the music

slim willow
#

Sourceports fixed his neck, giving him an unfair advantage.

azure nimbus
#

how much damage does a bfg usually do to a spiderdemon? about 2k?

thick gust
#

roughly

azure nimbus
#

I'm not confident in the 1-hit so I like doing some amount of bullets or shells before swapping to bfg

tacit remnant
#

Yoh can do it in 1? I know about the BFG 2shot but always use a plasma rifle to stay out consistent chaingun distance

halcyon willow
#

SMM is a consistent 1 shot in gzdoom but less so in vanilla

azure nimbus
#

reason is that blockmap bug means your tracers don't all actually land. basically hitscan is dumb in vanilla or vanilla-like ports

haughty glacier
#

Can you find the BFG before entering the Tower of Babel (without mods or cheats) in the ultimate Doom?

finite crag
#

no

haughty glacier
#

Okay, thanks

#

Can someone help me for doom2 graphic settings?

finite crag
slim willow
#

The punching sprite is gloveless. Expect him to put away his gun, take off his glove, and then put on the brass knuckles? It's a graphical oversight by the devs, same reason his sprite doesn't depict him handicapped.

#

Fun fact: bfg is a laser toy gun with plasma gun barrel on top plazma gun is a barrel of a lmg

lethal moat
#

so i was playing on dead simple and for some reason after killing the arachnotrons it raised 2 sets of steps around the exit switch so it was too high still

prime lava
#

that happens if the last 2 arachs die on the same frame

lethal moat
#

oh

#

thats cool

#

i checked and there was at least a second between every arach kill

#

i used the ssg instead of the rocket launcher

royal heron
#

you can find a mancubus platform that's the closest to that exit platform then run on top

Those are the most terrifying words

I am quaking just typing them

upper kayak
#

hi i just beat Doom 2 for the first time

finite crag
#

ok

#

hbio

pearl osprey
#

Doom 2 is fun

upper kayak
#

i dont really like some levels

#

i think it is because i rush halfway thru

pearl osprey
#

yeah tbh some maps like the Chasm are garbage

#

glad you enjoyed playing doom though

upper kayak
#

i think my favorite part are level 1 to 7 and 28,29

pearl osprey
#

Honestly same, early levels are really good and MAP29 is my favorite map in the game

#

everything in between is... meh

#

not too bad but not too good

upper kayak
#

final boss is kinda annoying

#

very rng and i keep getting killed by arachnotron and revenant

#

prob the most death i have in doom 2

#

time to play plutonia i guess

pearl osprey
#

A lot of people don't like the last level me included

upper kayak
#

yeah you basicly pretty much very vulnerable when you are on rising platform

pearl osprey
azure nimbus
#

It's a cut above doom2 but it isn't crazy. One of the first mods I'd played. The maps are short enough that even if it's hard, it isn't punnishing to die

upper kayak
#

i want to beat plutonia so i could going thru a lot of doom wads without getting much trouble

#

plutonia is E1M1 compare to them

finite crag
#

I don’t know why but all those city maps in Doom 2 basically suck in every way

finite crag
dapper wave
#

bruh i tried playing the old doom and i didn't know what to do

finite crag
#

Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 are pretty easy once you figure out the basics of the game

#

Although you can learn a lot from videos on enemy and weapon stats

upper kayak
#

city levels make me think of detriot when i played them

finite crag
#

I just hate them because they aren’t well designed

#

They literally have arrows in one of them to tell you where to go

#

If you have to do that then your map is bad

upper kayak
#

it mean it is really hard to make city levels in that game engine

finite crag
#

That’s true but those aren’t even the only bad maps

#

We have things like chasm too

royal heron
#

chasm is alright for me since I know the speedrunner route

#

but otherwise it's just... bad map design

upper kayak
#

i feel like Sandy map look better in Doom 1

#

most of his map in doom 2 feel boring in aesthetic

finite crag
#

I think Doom II was just rushed

#

If they spent like another month or 2 making sure the maps were good I think it’d be a lot better

#

TNT and Plutonia are bullshit

royal heron
royal heron
#

sure the heavy use of chaingunners, revenants, and archviles will make some people annoyed, but you just have to adapt and expect

finite crag
#

It's just a bunch of slaughter maps

azure nimbus
#

tnt is absolutely not slaughter maps. The maps barely have any monsters. Plutonia is challenging at times but also isn't slaughter maps. The levels have an altogether low monster count and density. Just that enemies are placed in advantageous positions

azure nimbus
finite crag
#

Wide open arenas with a bunch of enemies

azure nimbus
#

It's just really rare that you're killing some 100 monsters per minute like a slaughter map would. LIke combat shock 2 is a slaughter wad. There are almost 500 kills in the first room.

finite crag
#

Idk. Maybe I need to try TNT again. I get fucked within the first few levels. Maybe it's because I'm using Project Brutality

azure nimbus
#

They aren't balanced around that. I have no problem with mods but levels are balanced around the gameplay mods equipped with them. TNT and plutonia are vanilla. Eviternity is balanced around a weaker lost soul. Heartland is balanced around the super rocket launcher. valiant is balanced around the superchaingun. so on

finite crag
#

I just hate having to savescum so much. It's like you're not even playing a game, just exploring the maps

azure nimbus
#

My understanding is that project brutality will make it way harder. Switching to the expected settings might help with that. And if not, lowering the difficulty is fine.

finite crag
#

Idk, I went through all of Thy Flesh Consumed and Doom II with PB. I probably fucked myself. I have to force myself to be a vanilla doomer

#

Plus PB's default difficulty is considered UV. And I never, ever like going beneath a baseline difficulty

azure nimbus
#

I mean you can put yourself through that if you want, but it isn't what people mean when people talk about plutonia or tnt. If that's how you want to play, that's great for real. but we couldn't then talk about how those IWADS are balanced generally. We could talk about how they're balanced for PB though

finite crag
#

Not well, apparently

halcyon willow
halcyon willow
finite crag
#

That's bullshit

halcyon willow
#

The whole "UV or nothing" mentality is a cancer that needs tk be excised

finite crag
#

That's not at all what I said

halcyon willow
#

"PBS default difficulty is UV and i never ever go below the baseline difficulty"

#

Sure sounds like it

finite crag
#

I've done Sunlust, Eviternity, etc

#

UV is not the baseline difficulty in Doom, is it?

halcyon willow
#

Nope

#

If you open the menu to start a new game it defaults to hmp

finite crag
#

Didn't think so

#

PB is the issue, I never advocated for the "UV or nothing mentality"

halcyon willow
#

What difficulty you should choose is set by the map. Mods will then either make or harder or easier

pearl osprey
#

I noticed a lot of players choose UV even when they can't defeat it, usually they end up giving up

#

In my own maps I recently started making UV a bit eaiser than usual

halcyon willow
#

There is an onus on the mapper managing the expectations of the player, particularly with harder content. It's something that ribbiks does well. He makes it clear that UV is an extreme challenge in his mapsets. To the point where to get UV for Magnolia you had to send him a demo of you beating it on HMP first

worn hamlet
#

Also Romero's Sigil was way harder on UV than on HMP, playing off UV only mentality

halcyon willow
#

Sigil is pretty brutal on UV

#

Much harder than the rest of Doom 1

azure nimbus
#

is that still the case or is magnolia public now?

obsidian mason
#

Anyone help me find a wad? Think it was a d2 megawad Only level I remember is a party where you have to cross a lava pit to the other side, you have to hop to the other lower side by jumping on 3 platforms over the lava, it was a metal like map
Think the other part I remember was some conveyor belt? Large level with mancubuses and vats?

azure nimbus
#

if it was a real conveyer belt that moved then that at least narrows it down to after boom was released

obsidian mason
#

Don’t think it was an advanced thing, just a texture

#

Although it’s very vague in my memory

#

Could be boom or some advanced format

halcyon willow
azure nimbus
#

I've never heard of that WAD. I know he's more well known for stuff like sunlust or stardate. I've never seen a mapper so intent on reminding people that his maps are brokey hard on UV and that HMP is fine to play on.

HNTR, HMP, and UV all have identical mechanics. The only difference is monster and item placement. ITYTD and NM do actually change the mechanics as well.

dapper flint
obsidian mason
#

There was a map I played earlier that forced you to play on uv otherwise the blue key would not spawn and you’d be stuck in the start

grim pollen
#

Pulling a Casali like TNT's secret map forgetting to tag the key correctly or that set is balanced for a single difficulty.

obsidian mason
#

Mandatory secrets ultrakappa

azure nimbus
#

Other than Ribikks maaaaybe, I would just play an easier set first until I'm at the level to UV that harder pack

grim pollen
#

🙂

azure nimbus
#

Am I ready to UV speed of doom? I doubt it. So I'll play Eviternity and Alien Vendetta first.

grim pollen
#

Speed of Doom is similar to AV. Tricky episode 3 spikes but good question where Eviternity lies on the difficulty meter but I usually lump them together. Doable with a bit of trial and error.

azure nimbus
#

My plan is to go as far into combat shock 2 as I can. I expect to finish the 4th map at least. Then Eviternity, AV, Speed of Doom, Valiant.

After that, I might revisit tangerine nightmare's bonus map which I couldn't beat saveless.

Valiant isn't super hard or whatever but I've already played a lot of skillsaw so I'll save it for later. I'm not sure where microslaughter slots in. I played up until map07 so far.

I've done ancient aliens, plutonia, tnt, tangerine nightmare, going down, e1 and e2 of btsx so far

grim pollen
#

Valiant overburdens the player with powerups, ammo and healthy so you've got the tools to fight whatever obstacle is coming up but it's sure easy to accidentally die from the high DPS custom mobs.

azure nimbus
#

yeah that fire looking hell knight looks scary. Heartland too but I've been using saves cuz the maps are really long. It's fine if every so often I play a map without doing a saveless uvmax pistol start playthrough

royal heron
finite crag
#

It sucks

royal heron
#

slaughter is defined by hordes of enemies in a room that come in waves

#

the only slaughter in Putonia is pretty much Go 2 It

#

and also, Project Brutality changes monster AI like Brutal Doom

#

enemies become way more interactive and harder to fight

azure nimbus
#

Slaughter in Final doom is the missing yellow key

royal heron
#

wdym? did they not use yellow keys or smthing

dapper flint
royal heron
#

Speed of Doom... I'll have to give that a try someday

azure nimbus
royal heron
#

NRFTL seems really fun going by gameplay but I don't want to rebuy doom 2 on steam and I don't have the money to get BFG edition

grim pollen
#

Give SoD a go, it's got some really interesting map designs. I especially like hillside siege early on and blasting through the Core in 4 minutes.

dapper flint
#

You really just need to play uv to get used to uv. You don't just wake up and switch from hurt to uv. Kinda just need to take a dive into it to get better

royal heron
#

and people might need to stop playing with mods

#

sure mods is all fun and stuff but it ruins some maps

#

I remember this one guy who said plutonia sucked because it was so hard, and he was playing it with Drootal Bewm

dapper flint
#

Yeah basically all I do is slight gore increase and color corrected blood

#

That's as far as I'm willing to do

#

Unless I decide to play metadoom

royal heron
#

and when we told him that BD also changes monster ai, he was pretty surprised

#

he thought it only changed weapons

azure nimbus
#

imps literally go on the ceilings in project prutality lol

royal heron
#

I wonder how he didn't notice that pinkies and imps don't lunge at you normally or how the hitscanners and stuff can still attack if their torso remains intact

#

most likely because he never touched vanilla and went straight to BD

azure nimbus
#

prolly never played vanilla or hasn't since they were very very young

royal heron
#

imo you should at least play everything vanilla once or twice before trying mods

#

if you're gonna jump straight into a wad like Going Down with Brutal Doom without playing vanilla first, you are going to get wrecked

#

small spaces, lunging imps, and rapid firing zombiemen and shotgunners in the first level in a tight space are big no-gos

#

gameplay mods will really break a lot of WADs

dapper flint
royal heron
#

I've played brutal doom and I thought it was neat, but i really missed the vanilla feeling

azure nimbus
#

The line is somewhat fuzzy. Heartland, valiant, eviternity all change weapons. Even "vanilla" boom slightly changes AI behavior. Pirate doom is clearly a mod. But it is hard to say exactly what is a significant gameplay mod.

Oh but for sure, play stuff with the intended mechanics. Play going down with complevel 9, pirate doom with GZ doom and the pirate mod, and Toxin Refinery on complevel 2 or 3

dapper flint
#

There's ways to have gore and not break the game that are better options

royal heron
#

I would say EOA seems good

azure nimbus
#

Preacher had some moderate gore increases with the extra blood but didn't feel tasteless which is the vibe I get from brutal doom and project brutality stuff.

I've watche decino play supercharge and that looks fine and dandy too

what is EOA?

royal heron
#

Embers of Armageddon, recreation of DOOM 2016 in classic doom

#

there's also a monster pack that goes with it that changes all monsters to look and behave more like their 2016 counterparts too

#

like pinkies having a charging attack and armor in the front

azure nimbus
#

That stuff is cool but never seemed like it was intended to be balanced so much as a proof of concept. But that's just the vibe that I get

royal heron
#

It only really fits maps that were specifixally made for it actually now that I think of it more

#

Since the bfg acts the same way as it does in 2016...

azure nimbus
#

BFG do be a board clear

halcyon willow
#

If you're playing plutonia with project brutality there's only one person to blame

#

And it ain't the mappers

finite crag
#

I literally did all 4 IWADs before any mods

#

Why would anyone not do that

obsidian mason
#

know a guy who never played the original doom episodes or doom 2, he just jumped straight into the mod i play

#

first experience he had for the og dooms was through the tc

royal heron
#

My god

#

It must've been quite an experience

eager agate
eager agate
# royal heron Yes, EOAE

How well does it incorporate elements of Eternal? Does it have a dash, HUD, blood punch, ect. Or is it just the weapons?

royal heron
#

quicksaw, weapon mods, sentinel crystals, suit tokens, weapons, etc

eager agate
quaint socket
#

Bfg shots look like flying cabbage in classic doom

dapper flint
#

It's almost like its a game from the 90s or something hey

finite crag
#

am I mentally ill for loving brutal doom

#

no

#

I like bd as well

dapper flint
#

Like what you like. Someone's opinion of something doesn't effect your personal joy

royal heron
#

Play however you like it, no matter what someone else thinks

finite crag
#

I turn gore all the way up and most the time by the end of a level I feel sick

royal heron
#

My opinion on brutal doom is neutral and some people may hate it, but they have no right pushing their hate onto you

finite crag
#

I just find it super super gory

#

and the fact bodies stay makes it worse

#

then again I am used to the normal doom gore and less gore in general

azure nimbus
#

I get it if you like it but it does come off as tasteless. Maybe if the rest of the art and design was built around it or maaaybe for specifically made brutal doom levels but throwing it into vanilla is off

finite crag
#

so might just be me

finite crag
#

I just tried Nightmare

#

I don't understand how people can do this

#

I beat Plutonia on UV but e1m3 on Nightmare is too hard for me

storm grail

#

If you're trying to kill things you're doing it wrong

finite crag
#

But I’ll literally get destroyed if I don’t clear most of a room

#

I can’t just run through as fast as possible the shogunners will destroy me by the next room

dapper flint
#

The key is nailing movement and the fastest routes

finite crag
#

Im watching a video of nightmare and I kinda get it now

dapper flint
#

Yeah and watch speed runners also. That's my advice. Every trick helps

#

For example map 29 glide without the first switch hit is essential

dapper flint

Imagine an alternative universe where classic doom was like Quake and Quake was “2.5D” and kept the horror stuff

#

how do I load a specific map on GZDoom

#

I can't pistol start on GZDoom so I will need to do the next best thing and just load a map straight up so it clears my inventory

#

You can find the map names by typing "listmaps" in console

finite crag
#

thanks a million

dapper flint
finite crag
#

time to torture myself and pistol start from maps on UV fast

slim willow
#

In Doom 1 the first number is the episode (1-4, 5 if non-compat version of sigil is loaded.) and the level number is second (1-9). In Doom 2, it's just between 01-32 (yes you need the zero).

dapper flint
slim willow
#

"UV-Plus" is good in like every 1 in 100 wads.

finite crag
#

I mean on easy wads

slim willow
#

A lot of easy wads just add ammo

dapper flint
#

Yeah Swiss nailed it here

finite crag
#

Pistol Start UV Fast should make Ultimate Doom slightly challenging

dapper flint
#

You end up playing more cautiously. That's why plus is better atleast

slim willow
#

Fast monsters on the IWADs can be fun.

#

At least on Doom 1.

dapper flint
#

Yeah again I changed my mind on fast and this is from someone who was a religious fast advocate

slim willow
#

Not a huge fan either, but I'd rather have some challenge while playing through Inferno for the 1000th time.

royal heron
#

it took me about 1k attempts I think to do E1M3 Nightmare! 100% Secrets

#

now in comparison... trying to get a 9 on E1M1 I'm pretty sure has gone over 1k attempts

#

it's such a stupid run and I don't know why I ever tried it

finite crag
#

ill probably go for a playthrough of Episode 1-3 on Nightmare some day

#

I will need to be in a good mood though

finite birch
#

Why is there not a low percent speedrun category for Doom & Doom II?

finite crag
#

I guess the community just never trended that way but the categories have basically been around as long as Compet-N so they probably just didn't think of that back in 94'

finite birch
#

A low percent run could be pretty awesome.

royal heron
#

It's a category that not many will ever try to speedrun, even if it may seem interesting

#

It's like stroller or collector, I would say

#

They're there as sort of niche speedrunning categories that not many people participate in

Stroller is an old Compet-N category that was preserved in DSDA. Many runners want it removed for being so stupid

royal heron
# dapper flint You're a great player but it shouldn't take that long at all

Oh trust me, running E1M1 sucks to fine hell

First off, getting an optimal first door is finicky and requires grinding if you want to hit a good time for a 9(a 2.1 or 2.0, from aconfusedhuman)

Then comes the toxic room, easily the worst part of the level. You need all the hitscanners to move out the way so you can run in a relatively straight line if you want a faster 9, but doing so it also extremely grindy(Alternatively, you can take the Thomas Pilger route but that's undoubtedly slower and the last zombieman can still fuck you over)

And then the last room... you gotta hope the shotgunner and the imp cooperate and move together out of the way for you to have a straight line, then you gotta open the last door and hope the imp also doesn't move towards you to block the door. The last switch press also requires some grinding to press it frame perfect if you're really serious about that 9...

It's an RNG riddled run. Not good in general, but it's iconic to get a 9 on E1M1

tacit remnant
#

E3M1 is a pain. Claustrophobic, lots of hitscanners, and the weapons are hidden behind midtier enemies

in quake, or at least one of the quake games, there are monsters that drop cells for the lightning gun. Any WADS have monsters that drop cells rockets, or weapons other than sg + chaingun? It would've made sense if the aliens in Ancient Aliens dropped plasma but I can't imagine that being balanced

wahts the difference between doom 3 and doom 64?

pearl osprey
#

Doom 3 is not a part of classic doom and it's very different from other doom games

frank sphinx
#

as how?

grim pollen
#

In like every way

frank sphinx
#

imn new to the doom games so i dont know much

grim pollen
#

it's much more story based and the gameplay is closer to survival horror

frank sphinx
#

im talking about the pixelated old ones
they look fun tbh

pearl osprey
#

Doom 64 is a classic doom game though

frank sphinx
#

^

finite crag
pearl osprey
#

Doom 1, 2, and 64 are all pixelated and have that 2.5D look

#

Doom 3 is a fully 3D game

frank sphinx
#

which one is the pixelated ones
i saw karst jobes sdo a documentry on the doom game too
it looks really fun

frank sphinx
grim pollen
#

Doom 2 > doom 64 > doom 1 imo

frank sphinx
#

so doom 2 is the one i should get?

pearl osprey
#

They are all good game, Doom 2 is the best if you want to mod the game

grim pollen
#

doom 2 gives you access to most of the mods

frank sphinx
finite crag
#

Is there still way to get the original Doom disk?

pearl osprey
#

Yeah you can get custom levels and gameplay mods

#

New guns, weapons, monsters, even entire campaigns called, usually referred to as "megawads"

grim pollen
#

Don't know enough about skyrim modding but doom is ultimately a very robust retro modding community that puts out more content than you can play each year with continuing advancements to the ports.

pearl osprey
#

Doom 2 is the most customizable overall

grim pollen
#

The cacowards is packed full of content in 2021 it's nutty.

frank sphinx
pearl osprey
#

Doom 64 and Doom 1 are also very worth playing imo

frank sphinx
#

ok
is there a bundle in which all 3 games come?

pearl osprey
#

Doom 1 just you can ease yourself to doom 2 since its a direct srquel

#

I think there is a classic doom bundle on steam

frank sphinx
frank sphinx
#

how do i post screenshots here?

frank sphinx

#

also, Eternal has the classic doom wad files

frank sphinx
#

i bought it
yey

frank sphinx
royal heron
#

you can just pull them out via some folder directions

frank sphinx
#

what dat
wad

royal heron
#

although iirc it's the BFG edition, which is worse

frank sphinx
royal heron
#

not really

#

the bundle is worth

#

Eternal's is kinda... meh

frank sphinx
#

so i can play the classic doom thru the doom eternal game files or what?

royal heron
#

yeah there is a computer in his personal room where you could play Doom 1 and Doom 2 but you cannot play mods or custom maps with them

frank sphinx
royal heron
#

not was, is

frank sphinx

Isn't classic Doom awful in Doom Eternal?

Nope

Ok thanks

I use saves. I hate replaying stuff LUL

dapper perch

Plus some levels (I always play ultra violence) seem completely unfair lol

there isn't ultra-nightmare in classic doom though.

I meant ultra violence my bad

finite crag
tacit remnant
#

Yeah lots of saving is generally discouraged as it doesn’t push you to improve

#

But if you aren’t trying to get good then it’s fine

grim pollen
#

Improving 🤣 sitting pretty in the stagnation group who saves every micro second.

halcyon willow

saving so often it's a TAS

Everyone is entitled to like everything they want about doom
Except the doom 3 shotgun

halcyon willow
grim pollen

in doom classic terms imagine if your shotgun only reliably killed hitscanners 10 feet in front of you or less. In scenario #2 you're point blank vs a hell knight and 5% of the time it gets one shot.

No man I'm telling you it's amazing

map05 and never really played it again
mainly due to the fact the bfg edition done broke on me and the fact I kinda got bored of it

So I just finished the 3 episodes of OG Doom and I'm at Map05 of Doom 2. I got the SSG and I love how it one-shots Pinky Demons compared to the standard shotty's 3. So I've been wondering: Has anyone ever tried to back-port the SSG to Doom 1?

Would be very nice though. Shotgunning Barons with the pump action is a pain in my left cheek.

dapper flint
# eager agate It's quality over quantity

No. I just think plutonia offers more groundbreaking gameplay enemy combos map design still used today and traps that just make it superior. No rest is pretty though but it doesn't add anything groundbreaking to classic doom. Really love it but plutonia did alot for classic doom so thats why I'd say it's the best

royal heron
#

NRFTL is fun in the first few maps the but the last ones fizzle out

tacit remnant
#

Is there a methodology that helps deal with the traps in Plutonia? Because otherwise it feels too sadistic to me

royal heron
#

Plutonia, I'd agree since I'm the one who appreciates a nice challenge

royal heron
#

if something looks suspicious, it's a trap

#

if something isn't suspicious, it's a trap anyway

#

just expect the worst with every encounter you meet

tacit remnant
#

So just assume everything is a trap until proven otherwise. Got it

royal heron
#

if it's not as bad as I thought it would be, I find myself having an easier time

tacit remnant
#

I’ll probably try again at some point, but I hate the chaingunners everywhere

royal heron
#

nothing is suspicious about that part, but it's a trap anyway

tacit remnant
#

I got stuck in Map02

royal heron
#

oh welp spoilers :P

#

you can also watch walkthroughs or do practice runs

tacit remnant
#

Does secret hunting help significantly?

royal heron
#

nothing shameful about that

royal heron
#

sometimes to most of the time it does, but it's not super necessary

#

typo there :P

#

I haven't played much doom lately so my memory is rusty

dapper flint
#

It really depends on the map. Some maps you'll need the secrets or you're in trouble. Plasma super charges ect. You shouldn't have a ammo issue if you're infighting which is pretty easy to pull off in plutonia

royal heron
#

I have to go back to my saveless pistol start run of plutonia, I've been distracted with custom megawads

tacit remnant
#

Thanks for the help. Maybe my next attempt in Plutonia will be more manageable

dapper flint
#

I took a break after uv plus plutonia. Had to save on impossible mission unfortunately. Otherwise I did do the rest no saves pistol 100

royal heron
#

also if you have trouble, consult help or save

#

after you learn the level layout and then get comfortable with it, then you could try saveless

dapper flint
#

Usually do 4 or 5 runs saves and then 6th saveless I've found that's when you have the map down

eternal lance
#

now thinking about it

i feel like it's possible to remake quake in GZDoom with UDMF

royal heron
#

I do most of everything savelesss because that's how I like to do it, but if I'm unfamiliar with a map I might save a few times

dapper flint
#

It's pretty simple to learn plutonia maps

#

But that's easy for me to say I guess since I've been playing it since the dawn of time

tacit remnant
#

Yeah I had issues with traps everywhere in Map01 and I can’t imagine becoming comfortable with levels as hostile as that

dapper perch
#

Random question is the classic games possible to do ultra violence with just the starting equipment of 50 bullets and pistol with of course the fist

#

Like if I die and start again with just the basic load out

dusky venture
#

Totally. Especially with beserk if you run out of bullets.

#

Excceeept for Map 30, because you need a rocket launcher to harm the Icon of Sin

dapper perch
#

Fair enough thanks for being kind in answering my question

tacit remnant
#

IDK why you’d want to but I have no doubt it’s possible except for the Icon

dusky venture
#

uv-tyson if you ignore the pistol

tacit remnant
#

There are a few categories and rulesets like that where I just can’t fathom why someone would do it instead of just playing UV on harder megawads

dusky venture
#

People want to do different things and also find certain challenges more interesting than others

royal heron
#

chainsaw, fist, and pistol are allowed

dusky venture
#

really? well shit
i thought it was just the fist

#

I guess Mike Tyson whipped out a chainsaw in one of his boxing matches

royal heron
#

it's not that much of a problem, seems counter-intuitive after all

tacit remnant
#

Mike Tyson’s chainsaw was his teeth

royal heron
#

to be able to use a gun for a category named after a boxer

dusky venture
#

yeah, makes it a tad less annoying though
ranged combat is now a possibility, it just sucks

royal heron
#

I'm sure people have done TNT's IOS Tyson beacuse romero's head isn't actually aligned with the brainhole, it's right under it

#

allowing you to kill it with the pistol

#

seems like there's no actual runs except for ZM's TAS reality run

dusky venture
#

that's... don't know whether to say "convenient" or "jank as fuck" lol

#

I guess "convenient as fuck" will work

royal heron
#

i think it's both lol

#

first time I played through tnt, I was pissed because it seemed impossible to shoot rockets into the brain opening

#

consulted the wiki, learned that tidbit of info

#

went back, shot rockets at the fake wall right underneath the brain opening to acutally kill romero

dusky venture
#

keeping that in mind if I play TNT
(note: i will not play TNT)

royal heron
#

yeah, tnt is just left in the shadow of Plutonia

dusky venture
#

speaking of, I need to do map 9

#

frickin' hell the room after the hell knights and barons really knows how to fuck me over

can't do saves too since this is a uv-max run

I wonder, did the latest IWAD of Doom so far sold on digital stores today really remove the “Attention: This copy of DOOM has been modified, bla bla bla, press enter to continue” string? I’ve never seen it loading any mod/TC.

#

Or is it only seen on Doom mods loaded on DOS?

#

However, when I loaded the Doom 4 Vanilla’s deh file on WhackEd, the editor pointed out the missing strings and one of them was that message.

past field
#

HOLY SHIT

#

so I was playing sunlust

#

and there was an arch-vile, and I couldnt use my rocket launcher because he was too close, and I forgot that I had the plasma gun

#

so I used the super shotgun, and every hit stunned the arch-vile

#

I just encountered another one, and every shot stunned that arch-vile too!

prime lava

yeah that happens

so since I beat DOOT in doom 1 within a day, I'm going to play DOOT in doom 2 within a day

ye

royal heron
eager agate
dapper flint
#

Well the thing is gore in eternal or 2016 doesn't effect the core gameplay of those games. The gore isn't the issue it's how it changes the flow of classic gameplay. I'd say brutal is its own thing

royal heron
#

You've got literal paint cans of blood coming out of demons and painting the walls

#

It just makes things look like shit

#

Although you can turn it down

eager agate
#

Yeah I don't mind I guess I don't know

tacit remnant
#

Eternal’s gore looks ridiculous without being as gratuitous as Brutal Doom

#

Or MK fatalities for that matter

#

Modern MK fatalities are in a league of their own

maiden hearth
#

eternal is pretty swift with gore whereas stuff like mk zooms in and slows down on the parts being broken

tacit remnant
#

Exactly. Also MK tries to be super anatomically accurate whereas Eternal is just like “yeah that’s basically what a broken arm looks like”

maiden hearth
#

thats how arm works

tacit remnant

Well it doesn’t work now

If it hasn't been mentioned yet the Japanese Community Project Megawad is really good. Playing through it right now on UV. It's like a celebration of the Doom community in Japan, made by Japanese Doom fans.

eager agate
#

I don't actually think every WAD is cannon, that's ridiculous

#

I could make a WAD saying "DOOMGuy is gay and Dr Hayden is his husband" and by that logic it'd be cannon

dapper flint
#

Yeah no one disagrees with you that it's a bad idea

eager agate
#

Not only is it a bad idea, it just makes no sense

#

I think it was something Hugo phrased wrong and he meant every official WAD is cannon

dapper flint
#

Some do some don't but the majority are a big don't

#

No he really says stuff like that. Just like the doom 3 thing. I'm sure he had curtain wads in mind that he's played but a blanket statement like that would not end well

eager agate
#

DOOM 3 being cannon makes a bit more sense but I don't believe it

tacit remnant
#

I think it’s considered an unrelated side story with a different main character

#

As in the marine of Doom 3 isn’t the Slayer but just some guy who happens to wear a similar uniform and have a vaguely similar backstory

tacit remnant
#

This implies that Dr Palpatine is either still in hell somewhere or later crossed paths with the Slayer and promptly died

dapper flint
#

It doesn't work for a few reasons one of them being that it takes place in 2140s the same as 2016

#

So the dates would need to be changed

tacit remnant
#

I don’t remember the evil scientist guy’s actual name BTW

dapper flint
#

It would make a great prequel though

dapper flint
#

Betruger

tacit remnant
#

I just remembered what Civvie called him

dapper flint
#

He is a holy treasure

tacit remnant
#

Doom 1-64 and 2016/Eternal are in two different universes with the same Slayer, right? Couldn’t Doom 3 just be on yet another Earth

dapper flint
#

Well it could be a different universe but Hugo said it wasn't

tacit remnant
#

Oh okay

dapper flint
#

So that was what I was mentioning before

#

He says stuff like that

#

Love that glorious man though

tacit remnant
#

So basically the timing of 3 has just been retconned. Okay

dapper flint

Basically yeah. I mean in game it looks like a old uac base for sure. 2080s maybe 90s

DOOM 1, 2, 64, 2016, Eternal

In that order

Little known fact doom eternal was a prequel to doom 2016 if you read the lore backwards it makes sense

That actually makes no sense

It told DOOM Slayers backstory but the game itself clearly takes place after 2016

sonic thorn

Making jokes is hard apparently

I was under the impression that Hell itself was the one constant in the Doom metaverse. The invasion from Doom 3 was the same Hell. Could be wrong, can someone verify this?

limber mirage
#

The game itself takes place in a different universe of the multiverse, but the hells are connected

dapper flint
#

Exactly

limber mirage
#

Hell however is so vast, so large, constantly changing, with so many different areas, that it’s easy to make every games hell take place in a new location within hell itself, and whip out more demons etc

#

The other proof is dooms 3 tablets showing the tale of doom guy/slayer within hell

dapper flint
#

With the cube itself. Really like that one

limber mirage
#

Yep the idea that the cube decided to bond with you because you showed some of the same characteristics and heart of the doom guy

dense sail
limber mirage
#

That and the fact that he’ll just has different layers

limber mirage
#

Remember eternal confirms this

#

Fire barons are from much deeper in hell

#

Where demons are stronger

#

Compared to 2016s demons which are not as deep

#

It’s also why even imps have bigger spikes in eternal

dapper flint
#

And three being not that deep at all it would seem

dense sail
#

Yeah but at least most of the demons in 3 dont run.

dapper flint
limber mirage
#

3 was just at the start of an invasion so makes sense, plus if we look at all the scrapped doom 4 demons tons looks very very powerful and badass

#

Which woulda been the main force of said invasion

#

After all the invasion of 3 was mostly the advance party

#

Scrapped arachnotron for reference

dense sail
#

It's in the Phobos mod btw

#

The Arachnotron that is

dapper flint
#

Also the lore books I have doom 3 tablets and notes plutonia tnt plot all reference this in some way

limber mirage
#

Still wish they would go back and finish 4

#

Anyone who actually spent the time looking at all the scrapped footage woulda seen it was a mix of
Doom/doom2016/rage in one

dense sail
#

Yeah it didn't look too bad.

dapper flint
#

Oh yeah! And I actually like that imp design alot more to be honest

limber mirage
#

Hugo did mention the next doom game would make the main character more of a monster truck
Comparing eternals as a formula race car

#

Which gives me hope the next game is more grounded and with better feedback

dapper flint
#

Love Hugo's mad brain

limber mirage
#

Imagine destructible demons taken to an even further level

#

I love how Hugo agrees with everyone in the “ no 2 dooms should be the same” mentality

#

Gives every game its own reason to be played

dapper flint
#

Absolutely!! They all have there flavor

limber mirage
#

And allows them to really personalize each game as it’s own

dapper flint
#

That's why comparing always weird me out

Don’t get me wrong, I can somewhat understand some base level comparisons
But at the end of the day more stuff is different than same

#

Saying 1 is better than the other doesn’t make too much sense if it’s different

dapper flint
#

That's 💯 percent it

#

Base comparison is fine. But man do I love going from 2016 classic to 3 when I'm in a different mood

#

I will still stand by my opinion that I find base game doom 2 to be the weakest ONLY because of the level designs / details, but that’s mostly to do with limitations of the time. Looking at any do. 2 wads shows the greatness of it and the additions really shine now monsters and weapons wise

#

Like
no rest for the living

#

Love playing a bit of each doom here and there cuz each one is spicy

#

Like the fact I have access to doom rpg 2
And
Doom ressurection

That room with the Archvile and Pain elementals and Mancubis killed me

Still the best lmfao

Plutonia all the way

#

Btw, can idTech 7 handle the enemy count of the Okuplok Slaughter Map, I wonder…

eager agate
#

We ALL know TNT is better

finite crag
#

nah bro
wolfenstein 3d is better 👎 😹 👎

slim willow
#

Wolf3D is good. Change my mind.

Oh of course! TNT is the greatest wad, no, greatest gaming experience ever constructed by man. I apologize.

dapper flint
#

I actually don't hate tnt. I feel like it gets so much hate because plutonia just outshines it

#

You know what

eager agate
dapper flint
#

No I really like tnt

#

And the story is pretty great

eager agate
#

I think TNT has more consistent level design than Plutonia

dapper flint
#

Even though you re potentially not doom guy

slim willow
dapper flint
#

Sure but the bros defined modern doom maps and the first slaughter map. Don't feel like tnt left any sort of mark

#

But can go wrong with demon spaceship right ?

slim willow
#

If you're Dr. Betruger you can.

dapper flint
#

He wanted to copy tnt oh god

Got bit by a dog once, they took a sample of the blood and all they found was "TNT.WAD" in organic form. My cells are literally TNT dude.

Having played about 4 levels of Plutonia and halfish of TNT, I think Plutonia is definitely more memorable. I don’t know which I would consider better though

eager agate
tacit remnant
#

The fact that they were originally bundled together is weird considering the difference in terms of difficulty

dapper flint

#

It just depends on if you want a great but flawed experience, or if you want a always good experience

dapper flint
#

I really love the secret levels though like really love

#

One of my favorites

#

Caribbean for example

Like how you need to be on multiplayer to beat map 31. They really thought that one out. The true puzzle of the pyramid is that you need a second player. Why TNT is the best thing ever, the solutions to problems are always so creative.

Imagine if Dario started playing TNT

dapper flint
#

He should I'd love his take on that last sin fight

eager agate
#

Beautiful DOOM makes the games even better imo

#

I can't play DOOM 2 without it honestly

dapper flint
#

Habitat is a gem

dapper flint
eager agate
#

You guys like it?

tacit remnant
#

I really hate the Icon of Sin. I’m told it’s more tolerable in Plutonia at least. When I play through Doom 2, I either use cheats to trivialize the finale, or skip it outright

dapper flint
#

Personally I play pretty vanilla other than color correction for blood and a bit of more blood

tacit remnant
#

I wasn’t answering your question

eager agate
#

Oh my bad lmao

slim willow
#

I use PrBoom+'s shadows. That's as taboo as I get, lol.

eager agate

#

I like a little bit of blood on the walls if I shoot a demon by a wall.

#

And cacos and hellknights having blue and green blood

slim willow
#

I like that too

#

DSDA-Doom doesn't have that though.

dapper flint
#

It's weird eternity does hahahah

#

I was super surprised

eager agate
#

My girlfriend broke up with me because I choose DOOM over her

#

Did I make the wrong decision?

dapper flint

Epic gamers, that's what I was expecting

I abhore that level

the mill also fucking sucks

#

I'm telling you

#

I cried so much

#

#

It sucked

#

I wanted so much to enjoy Sunlust

#

finite crag
halcyon willow
eager agate
#

Probably the difficulty if I had to guess

cosmic pagoda
#

or maybe too much of a slaughter

#

havent tried sunlust, but I didnt like ancient aliens at all

#

maps were too big and just endless hordes and hordes

eager agate
#

lmfao I haven't played any of these important mods apparently

cosmic pagoda
#

I loved going down

#

even tho I am at about map15 in it

eager agate
#

Never heard of it

cosmic pagoda
#

I like short and sweet and tough

#

(thats what she said)

lone hamlet
cosmic pagoda
#

😄 thats what she also said

lone hamlet
#

and it made me break my favorite keyboard

halcyon willow
#

Sunlust has excellent difficulty balancing. Something ribbiks puts a lot of work into

pearl osprey
#

probably playing UV for bragging rights

#

beating Sunlust on UV is quite the achievement

halcyon willow
#

Ah yes, the "I had a miserable experience" achievement LUL

#

Very sought after

pearl osprey
#

it's kinda like dark souls, you maybe have a hard time but at the end when you look back you feel quite proud

prime lava
#

imagine doing stuff to brag 🙂

halcyon willow

Dark souls only has one difficulty. And a very specific learning curve
