eternal-modding

[hasty oyster]

Chainsaw Spray, ground blood/impact gun spray and the Hell Knight specific Gibs are still RED unfortunatly

oh and they share guts too, so brains and stuff needs to be modded as well. Lots go into the gore

[hasty oyster]

okay so i uploaded, its downloading into draft status

not sure what that means, but here we go

[halcyon stratus]

The gladiator's leg looks delicious. I bet it would taste good grilled.

Did we ever find out what Pinky taste like? It's obviously red meat, but is it beef-like? Ox? Venison?

[hasty oyster]

well ask the demons, apparantly the pinky are a food source for the other demons

being full of muslce, probalby very tough

[halcyon stratus]

Well the tail meat looks jiggly and fatty when Doomguy stabs it, so I don't know about that.

[stuck crystal]

Playing through all the games/wads from the new steam release and tbh I’m sick of the regular doom 2 weapons and I’m tempted to use final doomer+

Well for plutonia and tnt

[halcyon stratus]

It's a real bummer the new release doesn't allow you to load multiple mods at once like the modportal in Eternal does.

[stuck crystal]

Although I also just want to get all the achievements

[empty bobcat]

still wip

I see there are missing some parts of skybox still

[hasty oyster]

published! gimme your likes!!

[last python]

How to skybox

[lunar crystal]

When testing mods in ID Studio is the menu supposed to be super bright???

I’m new to Eternal mods

[last python]

The Engine menu? Yeah it also happens to me, but i don't know if it's normal or not

[halcyon stratus]

Downloading. There a chance you can make this for the Baron as well?

[lunar crystal]

Also, are there any ways I can learn ID studio??? I have no idea how to do anything yet, i’ve only made mods in classic DOOM

[halcyon stratus]

FKPIRUS had a 2016 Baron skin option with green blood and guts ala classic Doom, but seemingly forgot to include it with the mod files when he ported the mod over.

[halcyon stratus]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com

[hasty oyster]

i didnt do it for the baron only because the eternal variant is FIreBorne. I might do it for the 2016 baron model once i finish up the Hell KNight issues

[halcyon stratus]

It's easier than it looks tbh. Just good ol' brush mapping and kits. If you've ever seen Trenchbroom/Radiant it's very similar to those.

[halcyon stratus]

Sweet, I'll look forward to it.

[hasty oyster]

looks like the mod doesn't work with the DLC

[halcyon stratus]

Personally I'm waiting on 2016 weapons so I can nab that sweet chaingun.

[hasty oyster]

oh shit it aint working at all ...

[halcyon stratus]

Mod load order matters, btw.

[hasty oyster]

oh nm, i needed to move it to the "active" slot, yah im a idiot

[halcyon stratus]

LOL been there.

[lunar crystal]

I’m really looking forward to trying to remaster No Rest For The Living in Eternal, I at least want to try to remake The Earth Base because it’s my favorite mission from the Classics

[halcyon stratus]

So what's the simul entity limit? Still 32? How many AI (fodder in this case) can I have active at once?

Because ideally I'd like to have all AI active at once in my map, just 'waking up' at different times.

[pale burrow]

has there been a fix to the problem of not being able to sign into the mod launcher yet?

i swear ive tried everything

i ran the launcher as admin, i tried using a vpn, i opened up the ports, i verified my files, and i confirmed my login works on the bethesda website i dont know why da hell i still cant sign in

[severe bramble]

Does anyone know if there’s a friendly monster mod for DE?

Or a command? Like Summonfriend in Zandronum?

[pale burrow]

i put an exception on my firewall as well ive done EVERYTHING idk what else to do......... does anyone have any ideas why it wouldnt be working still

[teal bronze]

Trying to edit a weapon to be the flamethrower from Manc pvp but it comes out as a rocket not a continuous stream of flame. Anyone know how to make the projectile continuously loop? If not I'll keep pecking at it

[prisma vector]

Can ya copy doom guy flamethrower?

[teal bronze]

Flame belch? Yes it's an option I could try ty

[prisma vector]

Np

Sounds funny flame belch, like he is burping fire.

[teal bronze]

Mod idea, change flame belch sound to burp everytime

[prisma vector]

Lol

[prisma vector]

Do any of you guys, by chance, think you could create an Endless Horde mod for Horde? That would kick so much ass.

[lethal plume]

I knew the strogg had shrink wrap for their pallets.

[teal bronze]

possibly worth a look, might be 99,999 not endless

[eager ginkgo]

i have no clue wtf is going on, I'm trying to follow the id guide, I made a single platform, a sky dome covering the entire thing, and environment editor but no matter what whenever i load the map im always in the void

[tame carbon]

with map design, how come no one has ventured into using the existing models and kits. Everything is block design right now.

[eager ginkgo]

i might actually give up

[karmic musk]

Because you have to create gameplay before putting in art.

Make sure scale and flow is good.

[eager ginkgo]

ok we are so back

[tame carbon]

I see. Understandable. Just surprised no one has made something simple with it with very little gameplay. Like a "my cave house".

[karmic musk]

Yeah, we only got the tools a week ago so folks are learning but I get what you mean.

Typically you design blockouts and test them out to makes sure everything is 100% what you want before art'ing it up. With this case kits. Maybe not 100%, but you want to make it where the area/level feels good before applying art.

[eager ginkgo]

hey chat whats the hotkey to decrease/increase the grid size

[lethal plume]

i think it is just the numb keys

[halcyon stratus]

So apparently the Quake E1M1 mod was fixed so the textures didn't appear glossy, but they still do on my end. Anyone else?

[lethal plume]

old version still in active mod folder maybe

[halcyon stratus]

Also- I asked this once and got no answer. Does anyone know what the 'correct' mod order in the loadlist is? Does topmost take priority, or lowest? How should level/cosmetic/sound/UI mods be arranged in any case?

All they said was 'all active mods are loaded in the order that they appear in the list' but forgot to specify lol.

[tame carbon]

Hope they can quickly fix this one. The mod explorer doesn't work well with Windows 10 scaling set to 200%. I'm old and can't stand trying to read small things. I guess it would be fine if the horizontal scroll worked, but it doesn't. I basically have to left click and drag like I'm highlighting text to scroll over.

Apologies if this isn't the place to report this. I read the FAQ and couldn't find the proper channel to communicate this issue.

[onyx valley]

is anyone else having issues signing in to the launcher? i can sign into the game and website just fine, but it just refuses to sign into the launcher for whatever reason

[hasty oyster]

yah the mod browser thing is a hot mess

[shadow crown]

Hello everyone, I'm currently learning this tool as well and am wondering why certain textures will not load. Anyone else having this issue?

[tame carbon]

no issues here. Just now signed out, and can sign-in successfully.

[teal bronze]

im workin on a whole multiplayer game with different guns and shit and a new map using the space environment mars core and custom weapons and sounds im all about that multiplayer

[tame carbon]

that's possible?

[teal bronze]

hell ya

[tame carbon]

scoreboards, UI, clients, etc?

[teal bronze]

i come from unreal, lots of similarities in idstudio, decls are fun but most everything is simple, loading a basic box map, if your having issues with your maps not loading you probably dont have a point light setup with luminousity cranked up, or your map is not in your mod directory in your documents folder

[teal bronze]

yes correct

All i saw was black when i first loaded my map. added a point light rebuild smoothshade most likely a lighting issue

[onyx valley]

im mostly talking about how the new launcher keeps saying "Sign in error. Please try again later" when ever i try to sign in. ive been experiencing it since the mod launcher dropped

[halcyon stratus]

Sounds sick. Hope we can get footage/pictures soon.

We haven't seen anyone make new enemies or weapons yet.

[teal bronze]

i made a quick mod tonight when slayer flame belch he burps real loud pretty funny

[tame carbon]

@teal bronze do you have a good workflow for testing. I haven't found a guide as to launching an existing mod quickly without intro, or going through the menu system.

like no bethesda intro, no navigating through the game menu, just simply launch the mod I've downloaded

[teal bronze]

yes right click inside the level and click play game from here, it will tab you to the game engine, left click and it will start the level

[tame carbon]

not from the editor, but as a mod player.

[teal bronze]

ohh like delete the intro crap?

I havent gotten that far yet into the engine, but I am sure it is possible, in Unreal it is under the project settings menu

the engine is big and there are many powerful tools, but no documentation, someone should do a youtube tutorials on basic stuff

[tame carbon]

takes way too long to check out a mod with those intro videos and then the main game menu

[teal bronze]

ya maybe something as simple as a console command to disable loading intro then auto load the level using code

[tame carbon]

makes me curious though, it being a community mod if they are legally required to boot the client and show all the copyright stuff beforehand.

[teal bronze]

I see nothing in the code of conduct or terms of service saying we cant hack the shit out of it

But ya if im making a custom game Im gonna be adjusting that loading screen and menu for sure.

[severe bramble]

Is there a way to enable the monsters to fight each other and do damage? Or a mod that does it?

[tame carbon]

because console commands from steam would be for the Mod Portal, not launching the game. Launching mods from the Mod Portal is handled within their little browser. Most likely they set it up this way for this reason.

[teal bronze]

Yes it will start the game engine, but the whole game is modded not just a part of it. You can adjust anything of the full game. im talking about console commands inside idstudio

[tame carbon]

I see, and I know what you mean. I'm talking more about the mod experiencer. The one playing your mod would probably have to see the intro video, go through the normal menu system, no quick launch is my guess.

[teal bronze]

I could probably can all that, the menu is simple. It's a load of the map (any map you choose) player(loads playerspawn) camera is facing slayer. It should be in there where we can change camera to slayer view, load map we want, skip menu or load you own menu.

I will look into it and get back to you

[ivory drum]

how can you filter by asset pack?

[shadow crown]

Thanks for the insight. I’ll double check where everything is being saved and tinker with my point lights

[halcyon stratus]

Is it really necessary for idStudio to take up almost 50gb in my Documents folder?

Why the hell is it installing mods in there? Can't I change the DL path to be someplace else? Like, I don't know- the fucking folder/drive the game is in?

[tame carbon]

no it's not necessary. You can change all those paths in the settings under the Doom Mod Portal settings.

[halcyon stratus]

Just noticed on my own, but thanks so much. I randomly decided to look up something and saw I had like 5gb storage space on my main drive.

[tame carbon]

yeah, I'm realizing myself getting setup I'm wondering why I don't have disk space anymore.

[halcyon stratus]

I don't know why that directory is appointed by default instead of the DE installation path.

[tame carbon]

I'd rather have choice than defaults honestly. My Doom game sits on a different drive than idstudio, and I have another drive for installed mods as well as projects.

and another drive for all the asset packs lol

[halcyon stratus]

I'm only now realizing I could move the asset packs someplace else. That's great. I don't want them taking up 200gb on my m.2.

[ivory drum]

is it possible to use material painting on brushes? I understand how to paint existing models.

[lavish apex]

That's my mod, I'll take a look and let you know tomorrow. If you go to your library and click releases on the mod does it say 0.3?

[lavish apex]

interesting, the mod portal kinda sucks so I'll have to spend some time to figure out why its not the correct version

[halcyon stratus]

Sure, I mean I played Shademaster's Dead Simple map just a couple hours ago and saw the changes just fine.

Really wished the portal notified you everytime a mod got updated.

Shame this is happening, I'm really stoked about the map. Looks great from the newer footage.

[lavish apex]

thanks, and for letting me know it's not working properly

[halcyon stratus]

No problem. I also see the enemies on the catwalk above leading to the Ballista show properly now. They used to be invisible and unable to attack the player before lol.

[lavish apex]

okay that's really weird, theres something different playing in editor vs in sandbox

[halcyon stratus]

Honestly my biggest peeve in the game right now is with how ridiculously tiny the player's stepheight is. Doomguy will constantly trip over anything that isn't a ramp brush like a geriatric patient who walks shuffling their feet.

[lavish apex]

Yea, i'm thinking about either shrinking the world just enough to let him over or see if theres some player movement stuff i can edit.

[halcyon stratus]

I do know stepheight can be changed with the logic editor. It's just nobody really pays it any mind as everyone uses clip brushes and meshes anyways.

[lavish apex]

oh cool

[halcyon stratus]

@lavish apex Footage of the current map build on #videos .

[hasty oyster]

figured out how to do ground blood effects finally, that shit was deep in the code. Still can't figure out how to change the surface of gore chunks however

wait a min ... some of it works now, ugh how did i do that!!

[lavish apex]

yep thats the second update, should be easy to fix

[halcyon stratus]

Bemused by the constant influx of people going 'how did I do that' in here on a regular basis. It's great seeing folks figuring stuff out, or trying to.

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah figured it was a simple matter of the mod not being reuploaded properly.

[hasty oyster]

yah figuring stuff out strenghtes ones skills making it rewarding and frusterating.

right now my challenge is the chainsaw spray effects, i think i need ot DL more assets because a tons more stuff became availalbe after i installed the first levle

[pseudo jasper]

any idea how to give the player maxed out progression on starting a map? (i.e. all weapons, fully upgraded runes/suit etc)

[hasty oyster]

give all that will give you MOST of it

suit manhole points no clue, g_infiniteammo 99 works ... sometimes

[pseudo jasper]

thanks

[hasty oyster]

anyhone having strange issue firing the bfg? or did i fuck somehting up

that first shot in a new map is slow to process, after that things are fine

man uploading is slow

half way there, new version soon

[halcyon stratus]

Question. Anyone used this? I think it applies only to 2016 and they uploaded it here by mistake.

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/assets/images/models-and-kits-2-0091c37fdec83a8ebe1d0b7447fed8a6.png

The textures don't change with scale is what I mean. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

[empty bobcat]

Copied from ref map.

[tame carbon]

interesting. I haven't gotten to this point yet, but using models and kits is what I was most curious about. Let you know if the same happens for me.

[hasty oyster]

100% uploading, stuck there ....

i need ot go to fucking bed

"! Cannot publish" well thats that i guess

75 minutes for nothing

[tame carbon]

I'm guessing there is a config file somewhere that thinks I have idStudio installed somewhere else. Keep getting this message when exploring the menu panels.
idStudio is installed on my machine, and I have successfully launched it.

Found doom-launcher-settings.json in the root folder. Would be nice to set idStudio path.

{
    "user": {
        "language": "en_us",
        "launch_target": "portal",
        "activemods_base": "F:\\Modding\\Doom Eternal Mods",
        "idstudio_base": "G:\\idStudio Mods",
        "idassets_base": "G:\\Doom Eternal Assets"
    }
}

[empty bobcat]

You can set paths from launcher

[tame carbon]

hmm, but those are for created mods. Do I need to have idStudio exe and my mods living in the same directory?

Where idStudio is installed.
"G:\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\idStudio"

My settings "Save Path" under idStudio in the mod launcher.

"G:\idStudio Mods"

Maybe I need to create a mod first and the message will go away?

[empty bobcat]

You don't need instal ids to play mods

[tame carbon]

Somehow, I bypassed the detection system to where I have idStudio installed, but the DE Launcher doesn't detect that I do.

[eager ginkgo]

hey chat does anyone know which folder I can find rock walls asset kit?

[vital lichen]

just type "rock" and you will find them. Hell is a good place, sentinel and sentinel_ancient too

[atomic bay]

Do you have Doom Eternal and idStudio installed to the same Steam library folder? (I.e. if you right-click Doom Eternal and choose "Manage" > "Browse local files" to open your Doom Eternal installation, can you see and enter an "idStudio" folder to find your idStudio installation?)

[halcyon stratus]

'Hell is a good place'

Amen to that.

[vital lichen]

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[tame carbon]

Installed idStudio path
"G:\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\idStudio"

Game path
"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal"

[halcyon stratus]

They should both be in the same drive, and in the same directory.

[tame carbon]

why though? this is something they can fix isn't it?

[halcyon stratus]

Uninstall idStudio, and reinstall it on D:/.

[halcyon stratus]

It's because of file structure. The editor and assets need to be on the same installation drive and path as the game.

[tame carbon]

in no way challenging you, you part of the id team? To me it doesn't make sense to have that biased decision of an editor tied to same directory as the game.

[halcyon stratus]

If I were and a higherup gave me an explanation for why the installation needs to be placed right along the game, I wouldn't question it.

I wished it didn't work that way, but unfortunately it does.

[tame carbon]

Ultimately, I think they should look into this because modders will install idStudio in a different location than game. It doesn't make sense with this logic.

and I'm the test rat. Testing this out.

I think I'll wait until they correct it, because it's built on assumption.

Just past experience with modding tools. We're grateful and all for this setup. But if nothing is brought to light of what is wrong, and we come up with workarounds, nothing ultimately gets fixed. Budgets move in other directions with gaming companies, and then we're stuck with the long painful workarounds. Seen it so many times.

I'd say don't do workarounds, bring it to their attention like you're an official dev with doom. Will make better support for the tools in the long run.

[halcyon stratus]

The tools are still in beta. They're literally in Steam's beta branch for a reason.

[tame carbon]

correct. I know this and better reason to bring up problems while it's in beta versus workarounds. All I'm saying, if the modding community comes up with workarounds to issues encountered, it won't be a priority in their ticket system.

[halcyon stratus]

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Concept art SSG mod uploaded
try it out
doesn't work
Fuck.

[tame carbon]

they're reading this. they know. no doubt

[vital lichen]

they're in the shadows...

[halcyon stratus]

Could anybody confirm whether it's just me or the mod flatout just doesn't work?

[vital lichen]

Not at home rn, my bad

[atomic bay]

why though? [...]
Doom Eternal's launcher expects to find idStudio's files in a path relative to Doom Eternal's installation, and/or vice-versa, instead of (somehow) asking Steam where idStudio is installed to look there instead.

[...] this is something they can fix isn't it?
In theory, yes.

[eager ginkgo]

your logic is the one that doesn't make sense, why would you install a game's mod tools in a different drive the actual game isn't installed on? 😭

[tame carbon]

why not?

[eager ginkgo]

what a great insightful response

[halcyon stratus]

Doom Eternal.

Repost if you agree.

[atomic bay]

If you have a fast, small SSD and a slow, big HDD, and you play a game a lot, you might want to install the game on the SSD to reduce load times. If you only mod the game very rarely, you might want to install the modding tools on the HDD, to keep more space on the SSD available for other games/programs that you use more often.

Alternatively, maybe you want to have all "games" on one drive, and all "tools" on another drive. This is even an issue if you'd want to separate "games" and "tools" into separate folders on the same drive (e.g. -\Desktop\Games\Steam\steamapps\ and -\Desktop\Programs\Steam Tools\steamapps\), although Steam doesn't really make it intuitive to have multiple Steam library folders on the same drive.

[vital lichen]

🔁

[eager ginkgo]

HDDs are still a thing? 😭

damn

[atomic bay]

Yes, but you can replace that with "a not-as-fast, big SSD" if you prefer. Or in the case of the Steam Deck, a slow, big MicroSD card.

[eager ginkgo]

true

how would you go by making a cylinder? is there an option to change the shape of your brush?

there is a brush "sides" selection on the top bar but nothing happens when i select any other of them

[vital lichen]

Yes, you can change cilynder shapes

[eager ginkgo]

wait actually, i will double check in a bit, maybe im doing it wrong

[vital lichen]

Brush > cilynder

[eager ginkgo]

i just realised a cube has 6 sides not 4 😭

[eager ginkgo]

ya there is a cylinder selection if i didnt forgor, thank you

[plush thicket]

you can edit the edges of the brush by clicking ctrl + e

[eager ginkgo]

@vital lichen about your map, the floating islands and rocks is a skydome? if so where do you select the different texture for a skydome? I followed the ID guide about a skydome and I cannot find anything along the lines of "material revamp"

[eager ginkgo]

no way, lemme check it out

[plush thicket]

select a brush in world edit click ctrl + e, you see blue dots in every side of the brush

read the docs the key commands page you find what you want guys 🥲 lmao

READ THE DOCS

[eager ginkgo]

never

thats pretty neat

what would you use the vertices function for

[plush thicket]

bruhhh.

[eager ginkgo]

hell nah i aint touching the vertices 😭

[plush thicket]

We spend so much time to work in docs

[eager ginkgo]

this is my appreciation for something i will not read

[plush thicket]

Ok.

[eager ginkgo]

ok i feel bad where is the docs

[karmic musk]

the docs are the best things ever wtf

[empty bobcat]

I had full working map yesterday night, today morning it compiles without warning but map doesn't work even in editor 🥲 Probably something happend when I was ripping skybox.

But I learnt encounters 🙂

[plush thicket]

like the map not showing in editor ??

[eager ginkgo]

im still trying to figure out the skybox 😭 is skybox and skydome the same thing or am i tweaking

[empty bobcat]

is normal visible and editable, but I can't play it in editor after slow mo, or full bake in engine mode

[plush thicket]

Don't feel bad, pretty sure there alot of people who read it

[empty bobcat]

Still sometimes I need read something more than once, and there is not everything in manual, but still good doc.

[plush thicket]

how you run your map in engine ??

like the slowmap cmd ??

[empty bobcat]

devmap (mapname), after full bake

[plush thicket]

what the console tell you when you try to run ??

[empty bobcat]

it looks like running, and trying to load but I got only black and back to main menu, I don't remember what is in the console after this (I'm not home now)

at least I got backups

[plush thicket]

here what you need to do go to maps folder and delete the (yourmapname) folder and full bake it again

[empty bobcat]

Saleem - do you know maybe where are params for player? I want to change stepsize and speed.

[plush thicket]

like this

[empty bobcat]

ah, ok!

[plush thicket]

unfortunately I have no idea about these stuff

[empty bobcat]

there are some old infos to bake I guess?

[empty bobcat]

ok, I was searching in editor whith script (ah I forgot name of this editor - looks like unreal script editor) and you can add to slayer many things, but you can't change player params. Probably it will be in decls.

I need to say "decls" is not fortunately name, I always think about "decals" not "declarations"

[plush thicket]

try to go to worldspawn entity inspector, in devmap checkpoint name put you first player start entity name in it like this

[empty bobcat]

looks like decls for checkpoint behaviour

[plush thicket]

it not a decl no

you haven't add any layers ???

[empty bobcat]

I think something broke after I added skybox parts from refmap.

But it worked yesterday night, but the same today morning not. I even copied full geo and again the skybox, but map can't run. When I back home I'm going to work on this

[plush thicket]

I have this issue before go to world edit file/save as, change the name of the map

but you have to fully bake it again

[vital lichen]

My slydome is a refmap. It's from the first slayergate. You can import refmaps and choose which refmap import. It's a placeholder for now, later I will detail it

[empty bobcat]

Player behaves different than in DOOM I, so the gameplay is not great with this same amount of ammo and monsters, and slow player. I put overdrives on map, and yeah, you can bit, but it's not special fun. Also - I found when I touch the trigger for encounter - I have less than half second freeze before spawning 8 monsters, and less than 1 second spawning 12 monsters. Did you notice something like this guys?

[polar nexus]

yo, whatchu guys working on?

[plush thicket]

map

[polar nexus]

good luck on that 🙏🏾

[empty bobcat]

looks great

[eager ginkgo]

that looks so good, are the walls in the green goop cave brushes or model kits ?

[vital lichen]

Model kits

[plush thicket]

it mixed models kits and few brushes

[empty bobcat]

how much ram do you have? And what type DDR4 or 5. I'm thinking about buying 64, so I could replace 16 gigs for 64 and get 80 DDR4 together.

[eager ginkgo]

im using 16gb ram 😭

i mean the editor is running ok so far

[vital lichen]

idStudio corrupted my map and now I can't open it. yippie

[prisma vector]

32gb ddr5

[plush thicket]

32gb ddr4 3200mhz

[prisma vector]

That sucks kick it

[empty bobcat]

so maybe there is no sense to buy it, probably in future I swap to ddr5 and amd

[plush thicket]

it working fine for me, maybe because I have a good gpu

[empty bobcat]

can you remember me the gpu? (I asked, but forgot :D)

[vital lichen]

fucking hell. can't even open backups

[prisma vector]

I think you should doom marine, when your able to. I love my me PC. All Amd. 7950x 32gb. 6900xt etc.

Linux mint and Not windows

[eager ginkgo]

wtf thats a bummer

[vital lichen]

40hrs of work to the trash

Yeah. I think I gonna super shotgun myself

[eager ginkgo]

how does a modding tool corrupt its own work wtf 😭

[prisma vector]

It is beta. Reminds me of rage tool kit.

[vital lichen]

Yeah I don't know either. I was just adding a new reference map and idS said "something something no entities. This cannot be impossible."

this is how my map looks now. nice fucking done

[empty bobcat]

don't you make backups? Just save as new name after you make some update on your map.

[vital lichen]

yeah, I did, but for some reason, I can't open them

[empty bobcat]

I got several dozens version of my maps in prodeus 😄

[empty bobcat]

rage tool was pain. I liked in RAGE foliage editor, and decals editor, but it liked crashing a lot.

[zenith ridge]

So uhh... how do I compile my testroom made out of brushes?

[empty bobcat]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/tutorials/build-a-simple-box-map

[vital lichen]

i'm going insane!! i can't even open refmaps!!

[empty bobcat]

I had a small mental break yesterday trying to make encounter XD

[zenith ridge]

sweet thanks

[vital lichen]

not a single refmap can't be opened! even .bak files are empty!! what is going on!!!

[empty bobcat]

did you restart idS?

try steam verefication

[vital lichen]

mutiple times

[empty bobcat]

shi...

[vital lichen]

everytime i open the main map, it crashes

[empty bobcat]

can you make a new map?

[vital lichen]

make it? oh yeah, just gonna take me 15 hours to go back where I was

lemme try something

[empty bobcat]

I mean - does working building new map

[vital lichen]

I'm not going to look at the screen. Let's see if it works.

Fucking incredible. It crashed again.

[empty bobcat]

when opening a blank map?

[vital lichen]

no, I can open blank maps, but when I try to import ANY refmap from my map, it crashes

[empty bobcat]

pain ;/

[vital lichen]

oh yeah autosave is disabled by DEFAULT

[polar nexus]

that's dumb

[vital lichen]

yeah it is

Let's put some good music on my speakers full volume and start again. Life is short, I can't mourn my loss. Gotta start again, because if I don't, nobody else wil do it for me.

[polar nexus]

what mod r u creating right now?

[vital lichen]

a horde map that becomes bigger as you play

[karmic musk]

Big brain.map

[vital lichen]

🗣️

[karmic musk]

Found my old snap map that I made for Doom 2016 the first week it was released...I think I'll re-create it for Eternal.

[polar nexus]

W

[empty bobcat]

I found why my map didn't run. So, in map manager somehow I had checked off COMPILES:

so if I run the map no matters from menu or editor I back to main menu:

When Compiles are checked - it works normal

[empty bobcat]

How to make checpoint? In manual they say you should put target-layerstates-layer_state_change, but there is nothing like that:

[south wasp]

haha damn. Good to keep in mind. That's def one of those little quirks that'll catch you once for hours and ingrain itself into your brain for eternity afterwards

[empty bobcat]

but there is

[south wasp]

Use a 'change_layer' entity

Pro tip: Download some campaign maps and reference them against the docs. Looks like a good chunk of the doc is based on older D2016 info, or stuff that changed mid-development on eternal, so checking what shipped is always gonna be your best back up.

FWIW - deprecated documentation happens all the time in big game dev. Nature of the beast, baybeeeeee

[empty bobcat]

Thanks! Yeah, so bad you must unlock parts of map in refmaps, and there is no always obvious what to click to unlock part of map.

[south wasp]

Yup, but if you're after gameplay scripting, you can generally start with *_game or _checkpoints or _ai, something like that and go from there.

via the Entity Inspector you can select targeted/connected entities and it'll swap to the correct ref map if they're in another.

[vital lichen]

i baked lights for my map and uh---

what the fuck did just happened

HELP??

it even loaded restricted dlc assets while compiling!!! jesus christ!! my day is a mess

[pearl junco]

ummm.....check the contents of your map files in notepad++ it looks like shell backgrounds got pasted in somehow

[south wasp]

that looks like shell.map

[vital lichen]

and if you're wondering if everything can be disabled for viewing/compiling... it doesn't even appear in the refmap

[vital lichen]

it got way more than tah

[rugged torrent]

Does anybody else get logged out of the "Doom Eternal Launcher" every single time they close it?

[south wasp]

Did you load those assets into your map? or perhaps you've got a refmap loaded that includes them all

need more info

[vital lichen]

I loaded a refmap that only has a skybox, and it works because it's the same skybox I had before+

[south wasp]

which refmap?

[maiden mica]

Although broken it looks kinda cool

[ivory drum]

Can you download them through the mod launcher? I was thinking they're already in the data files but they're not readily available

[south wasp]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/doom-eternal-launcher/creations/asset-packs

[vital lichen]

sg_2_art_skybox

[ivory drum]

Yeah I got all of them already I just don't see map files anywhere

[vital lichen]

after a full build this is what happened

[vital lichen]

yeah, ngl

[ivory drum]

I swear I looked at that yesterday and every asset folder was blank for paks or maps. Ill check later

[south wasp]

they'll be under game/sp

[vital lichen]

whatever this is

[vital lichen]

restarted idstudio. it's gone. weirdest bug of my life

[maiden mica]

Citadel

[vital lichen]

Fun fact. You can do this by doing ctrl+c/v several times

Ok baking map again. Let's see how it goes

[polar nexus]

judas chair 2.0

[vital lichen]

I can smell it. It will happen again

it happened. happy bug replicating

i'm giving up. i'm done for today. this sucks

it crashed when closing the studio. so, everytime I save the map, it crashed again, and again, and again, and again...

[lavish apex]

there might be a backup in the map's directory

[polar nexus]

same energy as "i hate mondays". that sucks

[south wasp]

Hrm. Seems like you can't drag points around the world editor viewport with the clipper tool.

Normally once you place down a clip point, you should be able to drag it around by clicking on it when the mouse cursor changes to the "+" symbol. But in idStudio it just places another clip point.

This makes it a little tedious to have to re start your clipper if you miss-click and breaks 3-point clipping entirely.

[vital lichen]

yeah, it's not very confortable to work with

[south wasp]

2-point clipping's easy peasy, it's just a bit clunky having to re-start your cut if you miss click either point

[empty bobcat]

how to change texture on skydome?

[vital lichen]

haven't figured out yet

[lethal plume]

someone pointed out where it was a few days ago but i forgot where lol

did material remap not work for it?

[empty bobcat]

no, I can't change texture on it

but

material remap means chaning texture or I need to do something in model?

I'll rip sky from nest gore 😄

we talked here about checkpoint, but I'm still dumb about this, and this total can broke gameplay - cause when player respawns - he has not taken earlier gun (and that gun do not respawn). How to make proper checkpoint? I was searching in Cult but couldn't find.

omg now I'm crashing when trying to use ref map nest, I guess I broke something on it.

[vital lichen]

yay, refmaps crashing, love to see it

[empty bobcat]

tell me there is possible to redownload it

[lethal plume]

Does the studio ever change an asset or just make copies of the changed asset in a folder out side of the packed file?

i noticed that as soon as you start messing with an asset it will appear in your mod folder. That should let you roll back any changes by deleting the modified files.

[vital lichen]

You can unistall assets, try it

[vital lichen]

It copies assets into your mod folder

It needs to be cleaned up before uploading the mod

[empty bobcat]

I accidentaly copied dome on nest and it saved in ref map 😦 I was trying to delete it and something broke. I deleted only copy, but something had to happen.

[lethal plume]

so you can not load the ref map out of the pak even after deleting all the related files in your mod/working folder?

[empty bobcat]

I haven't deleted them yet. I'm trying to finish my map first. I'm on the last straight. But I don't know how to make: END and CHECKPOINT

[vital lichen]

You might need to reverse engineer a map! E1m1 is small and might help you achieve qhat you want.

[hasty oyster]

yah you can fill it up pretty quickly even if you don't do anything with it right?

[vital lichen]

Yeah

[hasty oyster]

i tried to delete the targa/decl files, but sometimes ... that breaks thinggs?

[lethal plume]

yeah gonna clean house eventually

[hasty oyster]

that may be why my mod balooned to 4 gigs

[hasty oyster]

esp because i had to make copies of the nuggets and gorekits, that shit connects with every monster, now i have a base folder using files for anything that uses gore

[eager ginkgo]

ok so a note I made to myself after seeing all of this is to avoid ref maps

What even is a ref map

[vital lichen]

No no, you have to use them

To be short, a refmap is a map inside a map. A collection of assets, entities or brushes with a parent map

This allows you to work on different things

Ie use one refmap only for geo, the next one for game logic, another one only for lights etc

you might wanna back up all your files before opening your mod again

[south wasp]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/worldbuilding/map-manager/add-a-reference-map

[empty bobcat]

would be cool to have to look at this map in editor

how does he keep weapon after player respawn on checkpoints?

on my map after player dead - player respawns, but have no guns what was found

[prisma vector]

I asked him that question on his YouTube page.waiting for a reply.

[lusty pelican]

Or you can just ping me here

[lusty pelican]

That's handled automatically

[south wasp]

Check the setup for any SP maps from the campaign. It's likely the settings in your change_layer entity.

[halcyon stratus]

@lusty pelican Like this?

Hey, been a while.

[lusty pelican]

Yeah like that

[lusty pelican]

I'm uploading a bug fix patch for the mod. Afterwards, I can send the raw assets to you. The mod is roughly 1.8 GBytes though.

[eager ginkgo]

YUPPI

[prisma vector]

Not until doom dark ages and mod tools release.but I think it would be fun to make a community map.Like everybody who wants to contribute to making the map. What do ya think?

[teal bronze]

thanks for this actually just got to my skybox

Was able to get a basic lightning skybox but couldnt find the others

[hasty oyster]

well not sure wha ti did, but DOom Eternal test just goes to a black screen now

[south wasp]

Having issues with the editor on my home PC. Manipulate brushes or add some entities in world edit/world cam and it starts stuttering bad and will freeze entirely if I keep using it 😦

[lavish apex]

i had a problem like that and if i alt tab out and alt tab back in it fixes, not sure if it'll help you though

[empty bobcat]

oh, that would be great!

[empty bobcat]

happens to me too

[halcyon stratus]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/assets/images/models-and-kits-2-0091c37fdec83a8ebe1d0b7447fed8a6.png

So, anyone figure out how to do this?

[empty bobcat]

are those texture brick is red or you somehow changed their color?

[halcyon stratus]

Looks like a red point light entity.

[teal bronze]

Just a point light changed to red and turned up luminosity

[south wasp]

what exactly are you trying to do?

[halcyon stratus]

The kit tutorial mentions textures change depending on scale/size, and I've only ever seen it on Snapmap. Was wondering if anyone had found a way to make it work in idStudio.

[slender iron]

Yuuuhhhhh

[prisma vector]

If I had a computer i would make Teufort

[vital lichen]

Has anybody here done custom cinematics? Even if it's just camera movements

[versed herald]

mingebag demons 🔥

[crimson void]

I'm trying to replace the Revenant's armor textures with the Doot Revenant ones how can I do it

I want to replace the rocket launchers with the Doot Revenant's trumpets too

basically, I'm trying to make Battlemode skins usable in singleplayer

[waxen nymph]

someone should make nuts.wad

[halcyon stratus]

Oh, so that's why the Bob-Omb Battlefield map took so long to come out. He was turning it into cancer.

Festering like a tumor.

[empty bobcat]

it takes almost 1 second to spawn 12 arachnotrons

[halcyon stratus]

Oh, and also there's holes in the map.

[plush thicket]

pretty sure alot of people will enjoy it, instated talk shit make something better then

[halcyon stratus]

Know what? I will.

[unborn ingot]

oh god lets hope Nintendo dose not find out

[slender iron]

Man how do i actually bake a lightmap

I can't figure it out

[empty bobcat]

I need to say, I had only 2 hours to take a look at your map. I like how you touched many gameplay things (triggers, encounters, grappling hook, wall climbing) but I'm still dumb as duck. First I took only your map and put to my folder. So the player start to act as on my map - got all weapons, no upgrades, no dash.
When i copied all other folders with decls, player started to work as in your mod. But I can't still figured out - how does it work? How did you make decls that set player with no guns but with all upgrades for suit and guns? For now I got problem only with this to finish gameplay on my map.
I couldn't find any Logic Function on your map so I don't know how is this done.
Once again thanks a lot for upload full map 🙂 But I need a bit more help

[polar nexus]

this bug has never happened to me before...

stuck in there in ultra nightmare

[plush thicket]

world edit/build wizard/select full map build + local bake make sure to check out the nav for ground and flight

[plush thicket]

have the same issue restart the idstudio should back to normal

[polar nexus]

is there a way to fix that bug? i'm stuck in that section

or i might as well kill myself in ultra nightmare

[plush thicket]

did you restart the idstudio ??

[polar nexus]

yea, multiple times

still doesn't work 😕

[plush thicket]

Oh you talking about the super gore nest level

[polar nexus]

yea

[plush thicket]

is that the vanilla level ??

[polar nexus]

wdym by that?

[plush thicket]

is that a modded level ??

[polar nexus]

no it's not

i'm just asking if there is a way to fix that

or i'll just start over

[plush thicket]

how this happen ??

I don't get it lmao

[polar nexus]

pretty hard to tell, maybe it's because i collected the red key too fast

after i completed the secret encounter

[plush thicket]

try to noclip I guess lmao

I think you miss a trigger or something

[polar nexus]

don't have noclip. then i might as well start over

that's just great

[plush thicket]

should be careful next time lmao

[polar nexus]

that fucking bug never happened to me until now

[plush thicket]

I played this level 100 times never go this before that so odd

[polar nexus]

i killed myself by taking a bath in the acid

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah know what, I don't feel like banging my head against a wall for hours. I'll have to drop it here.

A shame, because I expected something very different. And of course the first inclination was to make it CBT. I was hoping this annoying trend would stop but apparently that wasn't the case. I'm holding out hope that it'll get patched to make it less grindy overall, but still it's too overboard for me. Just not my cup of tea.
I apologize for popping off earlier calling it cancer. I heavily dislike this style of map and going into it blind was initally very jarring, but did not warrant me calling it that.

[slender iron]

still isn't working, my whole map is made of static models, does that affect it?

[unborn ingot]

use brushes for the nav

[eager ginkgo]

where did u download his map to see it in the editor?

[plush thicket]

have you add any lights ??

[slender iron]

i've got the environment volume which is providing the sun

[plush thicket]

logic designer be like, it super fun

[plush thicket]

so it refuse to bake the lightmaps did the building tool failed when you try to bake it ??

[slender iron]

nah no errors

is there somewhere i have to set it to static or something?

[plush thicket]

did you add a player start entity ??

[eager ginkgo]

silly question but what is your guy's go to grid size? mine is 1m, then 50cm for more detail in the geometry

[empty bobcat]

I'm trying not smaller than 20 cm

[empty bobcat]

how did you make player has runes and suit upgrades on start?

[plush thicket]

go to main refmap go to devinvloadout and use the dlc2 e5m1_spear

[empty bobcat]

but where is this refmap, I should open some refmap? This I got problem with. I see you and other editors have custom refmaps, I have nothing in here:

[plush thicket]

you main one that one you have in picture the worldspawn, search for Devmap Inv Loadout

[empty bobcat]

Sorry, I still don't get it. Worldspawn - we thinkg about this 2d window? Black with grid.

[plush thicket]

@empty bobcat .

[vital lichen]

when you have nothing selected you can edit wold entity configs

Therd's an option called "loadout"

Use first's dlc decl "rig" for full inv at the end of the main campaign

[empty bobcat]

Holy mother now it is as I wanted. I thought it's for dev debug version, not final game after upload. Still I didn't know you can use it that way. GREAT THANKS Saleem.

[empty bobcat]

I had no idea about this. Thank you too Jetley!

Maybe I finally finish my map.

[polar nexus]

bobomb field, but chaos. not mine

[empty bobcat]

I'm afraid to ask 😄 - what is all about this bobomb? It's from something famous, right?

[polar nexus]

yea, u know like it's from mario 64

that one is iconic

[empty bobcat]

There you go galapagos02 🙂 So, did you put some enemies on map?

[empty bobcat]

ah, that's I thought, I'm not familiar with M64 🙂 Thanks for info 🙂

[polar nexus]

ngl, that mod is insane

[oblique dirge]

I will later

[empty bobcat]

so I need to check 🙂

[oblique dirge]

Working on the map right now

[polar nexus]

even better with my music from spotify

[empty bobcat]

so how do you feel switched from prodeus?

[oblique dirge]

There’s a lot I have to learn and it gets me frustrated but I am willing to learn so I can make cool maps for people to play

I’m learning how to make master levels right now and then I’ll make my own custom ones

[vital lichen]

Master levels are easier than you think

[oblique dirge]

They probably are, but I just started like a day ago

[oblique dirge]

My map was mostly gonna focus on visuals, but it’s still gonna be fun

[empty bobcat]

@plush thicket I hope last stupid question for today - how to make player keeps gun he found after death? My checkpoints works, but after death player has no found guns.

[polar nexus]

my face when listening to my music:

[maiden mica]

First master level for a mod

[polar nexus]

r u the one who created this?

[maiden mica]

No

[plush thicket]

It microwavedbunny

[vital lichen]

Gl hf!!

[hasty oyster]

dumb question but. Is there a easy way to test compatibility with other mods? Having some issues with mine and more wounds. I think i know what the problem is, but it will take ALOT of trial and error to pinpoint the cause

i really do not want to upload, test, upload, test x 50-200 times

[atomic bay]

When you "package" a mod in idStudio, it appears in your Doom Eternal launcher's mod list, tagged as "from idStudio". You can then test it (along with other mods) even without uploading it.

[plush thicket]

you mean your aresnal gone after you died??

it ok you can ask me whatever you want I will try my best to answer any question

[empty bobcat]

Yes, even if I spawned in checkpoint, my arsenal gone.

checkpoint works - even I got confirmation on screen, but weapons gone what was picked up before death.

[lusty pelican]

devInvLoadout decl

[severe bramble]

How to spawn monster AI other than imps and zombies

[empty bobcat]

yes this I got made thanks to Saleem, but I can't figured out why your checkpoints "store" player with all weapons found on map, but my don't. I even copied your checkpoints, but it still the same - player dies, respawns, but got only shotgun (as I made in Logic Designer. How you made player keep weapons after death and respawned in checkpoint?

[lusty pelican]

Are the layer state change entities ever activated in your map?

[empty bobcat]

I got only one checkpoint (it's small arena map). Without this checkpoint player after death still could respawn the same way as now, but now with checkpoints copied from your map I got message about checkpoint, but weapons are not stored for player. I totaly do not understand that. Probably it's not stored in those chekpoints, but in some decls.

[vital lichen]

guys! I recovered it!!!!

[halcyon stratus]

Pog!

[empty bobcat]

how?

[vital lichen]

I created a new mod and then made the needed refmaps to begin with. Went to the original geo file, copied all the contents and removed two "func/reference" that referenced refmaps that didn't exist. Now, it works again!!

[atomic bay]

[...] player dies, respawns, but got only shotgun (as I made in Logic Designer. [...]
Chances are, whatever you've done with Logic Designer is what's causing other weapons to disappear when reloading a checkpoint.
If you want the player to start with a certain set of weapons and/or upgrades when they start a new save slot on your map, make the worldspawn entity reference a suitable devInvLoadout decl instead. (You can edit devInvLoadout contents with the decl editor if there's no default devInvLoadout that has the exact weapons/upgrades that you want.)

[empty bobcat]

ok, thanks for info, I'm trying to build my own loadout 🙂

[vital lichen]

this is what I call efficient compiling

[lethal plume]

lol

[halcyon stratus]

Lil bro is an overachiever.

[empty bobcat]

When I make packaging I should have signed all those files?

[forest rune]

We've been able to replace models for a while

But can we make them use skeletal animations?

[vital lichen]

I don't think so, "generated" contains studio settings

[vital lichen]

And other things

[empty bobcat]

I'm cleaning this folder right now

finally I finished this map

[polar nexus]

cool, let me know when it's published

[empty bobcat]

fighting with packaging ;D

[oblique dirge]

wow ok i see how it is

[oblique dirge]

Hey, I was wondering I can’t play my map. I’m on the maker map and I just can’t play it. Do you know any reason why

[empty bobcat]

did you build a box from tutorial and run?

[empty bobcat]

So, I built package but map doesn't start from campaign menu, only from console devmap mapname ;/

[oblique dirge]

fr me to

I’m trying to play this map, but I can’t. It just won’t let me.

[empty bobcat]

does your map works in editor, can you run it?

[oblique dirge]

Ye

[empty bobcat]

so you didn't bake it

[oblique dirge]

It didn’t say I broke anything when I try to play from here. It just sent me right back to the menu.

And when I type in the map, it says map cannot be found

[empty bobcat]

you playing from Engine window, right?

[oblique dirge]

ye

[empty bobcat]

did you bake map?

[oblique dirge]

wdym

[empty bobcat]

not slowmo, bake

[oblique dirge]

oh

let me try

[empty bobcat]

if bake it you could run it from Engine window

https://tenor.com/view/el-gato-el-gato-cat-meme-el-gato-cat-el-gato-meme-dancing-gif-25760212

idk why it does that lol

[empty bobcat]

?

[oblique dirge]

The map is glitching in the inside, but when I go outside, it doesn’t do it anymore

[empty bobcat]

ah those lights, I have no idea why is it happening, I got the same when used shadowlight overlapping

[oblique dirge]

HMM

[shadow crown]

Still getting blank white/black decls on certain surfaces. My file paths are set up correctly and I have a point light. Brought up the console and it is saying it can't load the image for some reason? This does not happen with all decls.

[teal bronze]

got env and skybox working im now in space lmao

[prisma vector]

Spaaaaacccceeee

[teal bronze]

I found out if you can't see your environment build triggers and volumes it'll show up

[oblique dirge]

NICE LOVE IT!

[hasty oyster]

tehse map skills are certianly getting better. I can't wait to start doin that but im more interested in the data stuff atm

[hasty oyster]

Turn it into purple flesh!!!

because purple

[halcyon stratus]

Wait, I thought we couldn't modify levels?

[prisma vector]

Asset packs said ya can when you click on 1 to download.

What level was it

[half hollow]

Hello. I seems have a problem with the door entity. When I added the door, seems like it doesn't render the door fully? I can't scale it in anyway but I can connect it to a switch, although it doesnt seems to do anything, I only heard the sound of the door open.
I follow this tutorial: https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/worldbuilding/map-building-blocks/interacts

[plush thicket]

Try to slowbake the map

[midnight hedge]

Is it possible to get idstudio to use a different drive than c for mods and assets? I have the program and doom eternal on a external game drive, but it keeps wanting to use the computers disk drive.

[empty bobcat]

There is info it should be on the same disk. It is possible, but I can't say what about stability.

[atomic bay]

In Doom Eternal's launcher, there should be a "Settings" button at the top-left, where you can change where mods and asset packs will be installed.

[atomic bay]

Doom Eternal and idStudio should be installed to the same Steam library folder, but mods and asset packs can be installed anywhere.

[empty bobcat]

oh, I thought assets must be in the same disk, I specially moved them all 🙂

[tight hinge]

some progress with traversal

[vital lichen]

no blocking?

[tight hinge]

whar?

[vital lichen]

Blocking is the process of designing the level using only primitives to test gameplay and others. i'm surprised you went straight to asseting

just curious

[tight hinge]

yeah went straight to asseting lmao

[vital lichen]

nice

[teal bronze]

Hell ya fellow space map maker

[vital lichen]

I still gotta blok out a few other islands...

[tight hinge]

Where do i adjust impact effects for each monster? LIke the blood spray that comes form heavy cannon? Same for the chainsaw spray and blood pools. I am unable to locate the proper decl

and ot note, this seems to be a issue after i blow off chunks and hit those spots

[hasty oyster]

well i found some of it, but i think their is another gorecontainer/kit/whatever attached to some of the other attacks AFTER you blow off chunks

[eager ginkgo]

hey looking back at this, what tool/ brush you used to get that natural cave wall look? Or are those flat brush walls with rock wall models placed on them

[plush thicket]

Those are models kits, you find them in "models files/art/kit/terrain/arctic", but you need the cultist base assets

[empty bobcat]

ok, it's alive, I hope it works now

[trim quail]

Hey yall! Does anyone know if the mod tools allows us to change weapon models or to make an entirely new game ala Unity or UE? Also since they released the mod tools, i wonder if they will allow people to license the engine out....

[empty bobcat]

Yes - you can add your models of weapons, I saw QUAKE I RL. About license we will see.

[trim quail]

perfect! I wasnt sure if it was limited like Source 2 where you can only really use it for CS2 stuff or DOTA. Im experienced in UE so this will be fun to dive into and hopefully have WAYYYYY less overhead like UE 😄

[empty bobcat]

Well, generaly it's for DOOM, but you can add your own models, textures - you can make total TC.

[trim quail]

awesome! yeah that is cool we can make a TC though! Maybe someday they will allow a license to make it so people can make standalone games with it

[empty bobcat]

I can't wait to see QUAKE I/II on this.

[hasty oyster]

IS THERE A way to revert a asset back to OG? I messed around with on, and it voided all its peices and i didnt notice

[empty bobcat]

I broke Nest refmap, still had no time to redownload it because I was all the time in idS

19 gigs ;/

[hasty oyster]

it is def a idstudio bug, now parts of the meshes on the gladiator are voided, i have to manuelly put them all back togehter?

it would be nice if there was a 'revert to default" but all that does now is white out the entire part of it

[empty bobcat]

I even thought to make a copy of them to external disk for some issue happend

cause id servers are slow

[hasty oyster]

i need to revert every change i made to the gladiator, how does one do so?

[silent ledge]

Making a Gore Pool

[hasty oyster]

i might have to use what i uploaded as a back up, because i think my backup if fucked too

[hasty oyster]

dont know what i did, but the gladitaor is now offically fucked. I can't revert this

[plush thicket]

New skybox environments

[eager ginkgo]

Thank you!

the funniest thing - it's not texture - those are models, and ground is full 3d

UE4 vibes:

[hasty oyster]

Error
It looks like the server mod that this idStudio mod was associated with has been removed from the servers! To rectify this click the "Remove server association" button below.

well it is what it is. Ill just have to reupload it as a new mod

[empty bobcat]

yeah, I was fighting with upload today all day.

[hasty oyster]

This will remove any association this mod has with any mods on the servers. Proceed with caution, this is a very destructive action.

But i don thave any choice now since my old mod got f up

so that means my mod goes BACK ot the front of the mod page, bu ti lose all my likes and bulls hit

[empty bobcat]

many models has bad origin centered: maybe they were part of bigger thing and they were just ripped to assets

[hard tapir]

plutonia

[civic spoke]

where archvilles?

[hard tapir]

i havent figured out how to spawn multiple things yet lmao

[civic spoke]

Anyway.
I have this issue when I try to play custom campaigns in DE.
When I switch locations (beat the first arena, got teleported to another one), sometimes the game freezes. And unfortunately I have to end the game's process via Task Manager.
Mods that I had this issue: Proteh's Horde Mode, Unreleased Hell on Earth Master Level by ID. Both were installed via the official Mod Loader. One mod tested at a time. No other mods aside from that.
Tried to verify files integrity via Steam, nothing is broken.
Is it a common issue? Or I'm just unlucky?

EDIT: managed to fix it by disabling VSync, setting Texture Pool Size to Low and disabling Steam background recording. Either of these things did the trick.

[teal bronze]

It's crazy how fast the level starts to come together once you get goin on the models

[empty bobcat]

still wip

[south wasp]

you forgot the chaingunners

[hard tapir]

YO

that looks sick

[empty bobcat]

those ceiling pipes:

[polar nexus]

good luck on that

[whole cedar]

hello, i have been trying to apply the texture from the idstudio box tutorial for the past few days, but when selecting the walls and clicking on a material in the asset browser it applies a white texture instead and shows the error in the second image

[eager ginkgo]

yeah i have the same issue, some textures dont work for me

[severe bramble]

Is ID Studio beginner friendly?

[lusty pelican]

No

[eager ginkgo]

its very friendly 🙃

[karmic musk]

I've played around with more difficult tools.

[severe bramble]

Ok

[karmic musk]

It's not that hard. But if you haven't modded or played with any mod tools before, it can be a challenge.

The wiki site is pretty good for understanding the fundamentals.

[severe bramble]

I have experience with classic Doom but not modern

[errant hazel]

ive installed a few custom master level mods, how do i play them?

[karmic musk]

I believe you have to launch the game as 'play with mods'

Some maps require loading through the console though. Via command

[errant hazel]

oh god, how do i do that?

[oblique dirge]

I don’t mean to bother you, but do you know how to make cut scenes?

[teal bronze]

done for today lol learned alot

Went back to Bob-Omb Battlefield. The 1st half of it is way easier than I remember, even SSG only. The ||coin bit|| is kinda crappy, but you can cheese it with the shield. The 3rd and last bit of it however, is pretty bad imho. Maykr Barons suck, and possessing one only makes it worse.

I'd either remove it or swap it out for 2 unpossessed ones. Just my two cents. Overall fun, but definitely not for everyone.

[empty bobcat]

sorry, I have no idea

[vital lichen]

I need to know, too. At least, camera movements

[vital lichen]

Either in the "console" tab or in-game, in thr "engine" tab (key ~), type "fastmap yourMapName", after performing a fast build

[jagged trout]

Hope I'll have enough space to mod Doom Eternal once it's installed

[empty bobcat]

hmm, I redownload Nest but still crash when I want to open it in idS ;/

[jagged trout]

what I wouldn't give to have more space

[prisma vector]

100 dollars, would you give that much?

[jagged trout]

Dear Davoth that's a lot

[prisma vector]

how did you get to display only idstudio in tools?

hid every single one that comes by default?

[jagged trout]

I added it to my library on Steam

[prisma vector]

ik but steam comes with a billion other tools by default

[jagged trout]

Use the search bar and search up Doom

[empty bobcat]

final testing

[prisma vector]

that looks so good

you planning to do all levels?

[empty bobcat]

nah 🙂

it's too much work. I didn't even build all maps in prodeus where I spent 1800 hours on map makings 😄 This entryway is just lazy work with not proper scale to relearn few things and learn new things (still I know not much).

[prisma vector]

ah fair

i wouldnt even notice its out of scale if you didnt mention lol

if you got some footage of the prodeus levels send em

[empty bobcat]

the chasm wip:

this one is not finished, but there are few finished map from DOOM, also there are many DOOM maps made not by me.

The chasm on idstdio could be fun!

[prisma vector]

nicee

[prisma vector]

true

[empty bobcat]

caco XD

[vital lichen]

cool!

[prisma vector]

these kinda levels might be interesting with eternal's mechanics

[empty bobcat]

would be fun to make this map - imagine all those rocks made in 3d instead flat one

DOOM gameplay is total different than DE.

[prisma vector]

yea

[ripe night]

Anyone else think these Classic Doom levels in Eternal look like SnapMaps?

[vital lichen]

Yummy

hey by the way, it's me or is photo mode deactivated in sandbox?

[bright bane]

Does there is a command to enable all weapons, fully upgraded, all capabilities, etc, when trying a map in IdStudio ?
Instead of having the game starting slayer inventory, which well, isn't great for testing maps

[valid yacht]

Wait until you find out you need roughly 500GB for all the assets :D

Sure its free, but also not free

[vital lichen]

When editing world entity, there's a parameter called "devinvloadout" and "giveall", check the second one and for the first one, load a decl "e4m1_rig" i think, it gives you full inv at the end of main campaign

[vital lichen]

yay

[vital lichen]

@bright bane

[valid yacht]

-# sry for the offtopic, imma head out again, you guys have fun <3

[bright bane]

Ok, thanks

[atomic bay]

You also need 90 gigabytes for Doom Eternal itself, so this won't do - especially not if BattleMode or The Ancient Gods asset packs are released later. 😿
(The good news is, you don't need to download all asset packs, just the ones that you want to use assets from.)

[slender iron]

Whats the best environment decl for a normal blue sky?

[vital lichen]

Cultist base is a good one

[hot agate]

wait, DLC assets aren't even available to be used with the editor?

is the full base game even there or is that missing stuff too?

[atomic bay]

wait, DLC assets aren't even available to be used with the editor?
Not yet. I assume that that's just because "what if a user downloads The Ancient Gods assets without owning The Ancient Gods?", so they left it for later until they figure that out... but that doesn't apply to the BattleMode maps, which are also unavailable. 🤷
There are asset packs for the The Ancient Gods Horde maps, though.

is the full base game even there or is that missing stuff too?
There are asset packs for all Campaign and tutorial maps. Some(/All?) Events/Series customisation items are unavailable, though (as there's no "warehouse" asset pack and they're not part of idStudio's main download).

[eager ginkgo]

Oh jolly can’t wait to download 120 GB more worth of assets 😃

[empty bobcat]

yes, it's deactivate

[empty bobcat]

you can (to test) use all common commands from console like: give all, noclip, notarget, killplayer, restartmap

[halcyon stratus]

That's Prodeus' map editor.

[shadow crown]

Been having the same issue. I'll let you know if I discover anything

[empty bobcat]

yes 🙂

[obtuse arch]

I have a similar question to DoomVigilante,does anyone know how to define properties of a player who has just spawned in, such as making the player always start with certain upgrades/weapons/etc? Thank you

[empty bobcat]

I saw this, but I have no idea what is the cause 😦

[empty bobcat]

yeah, one sec...

when you are in 2d view, do not select anything, look at Entity Inspector, there is an option Devmap Inv Loadout

Click null and you can choose presets - for example

that E1M1 is start of game - so you have only shotgun, but e3m4 or dlc - you get full upgrades

[obtuse arch]

thank you so much, really helpful!

[empty bobcat]

you can also make your own custom decl, but for now I have a bit problems with that (I'm learning :D) so I'll not give you a good solution

[empty bobcat]

I had this same problem for week 🙂 but good souls here helped me 🙂

[exotic badge]

Somebody knows how to set music to the map? I've tried to use MusicEntity but after loading map I only hear main menu music.

[empty bobcat]

I'm exactly working on this right now, and I have no idea why it's not working. You got menu music, I have nothing. Did you trigger this somehow or it works by itself, note that you can choose what music you like to play.

Do you know guys what for is func Reference?

[exotic badge]

Without trigger. I only set these properties

[empty bobcat]

so you can click and choose other music than

I linked it with trigger, but not working

[vital lichen]

goddamit...

[empty bobcat]

I use windows key to make printscreens

[empty bobcat]

do you know maybe there is possible to listen music in editor?

[exotic badge]

Unfortunately I don't know how to listen to music in the editor 😦

[empty bobcat]

I thought via Preview, but no

[vital lichen]

Yeah

[empty bobcat]

so you have music in game? I've just put new function with music but it doesn't work

I'm not sure what I should set

[exotic badge]

Yep, but I only hear main menu music after loading. Even though I change music in entity inspector

[empty bobcat]

hmm ;/ I hear nothing

[exotic badge]

Try to check "Build Audio Tome" and "Build Sound Volumes" in the Build Wizard. Maybe it will help

[empty bobcat]

ah, shit, right

[eager ginkgo]

a part of me just wishes we got snapmap v2 but better without console limit restrictions.

But I know hardcore modders will disagree

[empty bobcat]

no, still doesn't work

[eager ginkgo]

I’m going through doom 2016 snapmap and just realised how much enemy variety the game is lacking

The game is so slow compared to eternal too 😭

[empty bobcat]

snap map wasn't best, he got so many limits 😦 I liked it only because we had nothing better

[empty bobcat]

yes 😄 when you switch from DE to D16. Last time I played Turbo Overkill - there is slide, dash and grappling hook, plus player walks real fast, when I switched to DOOM Eternal it was so slow 😄

the light is not great, but I don't want to give this map more time, it was only for learning purpose

[eager ginkgo]

Are the buildings model kits or part of a skybox?

[empty bobcat]

kits

[eager ginkgo]

oh damn that’s neat, from hell on earth or final sin?

Or arc complex, or super gore nest

[empty bobcat]

somehow my gorre nest ref map crash each time, even after redownload 😦 I wanted to use sky from there.
It's from first map E1M1 intro

[eager ginkgo]

you guys keep mentioning refmaps, are those just official maps you load in idstudio

[jagged trout]

Is that a laptop or an external hard drive cause I already have a 7 terrabyte external hard drive

[empty bobcat]

maaaan, something just bugged, now I got music after game restart

so I just put new Music function and choose music from assets

[exotic badge]

Wow, ok I'll try to do the same

[empty bobcat]

I noticed I have no music in any map

worked after restart. I had music set to 0, and set to 100 to check but it didin't work, after restart worked

oh man baking entryway is taking a bit of time

I'm not sure I have to "checked" all those positions to packaging map, hmm

I don't use any outside decls.

[plush thicket]

is it your level ??

[empty bobcat]

yes

I built only map, no additional stuff

[plush thicket]

how people can play your level ?? like by "map" command ??

[empty bobcat]

yes 😦

[plush thicket]

mhh, you can change a decl that let people play your level by start new campagin

[vital lichen]

But have you modified any? Env, maybe?

[empty bobcat]

yes I know, but I did something wrong and I had problems with that (I spent 2 days fighting with this). We talk about "campaign" decls, right?

[empty bobcat]

no, I got standard env with only changed sun position

[plush thicket]

I forgot what that decls not In my pc atm, I will show you

[vital lichen]

That's it then, you need it

[plush thicket]

i think it devmapmenu decl

[empty bobcat]

I checked them all to get sure. It's packaged, I need to test it, is it run for sure. Is test before package is the same test that after package?

[plush thicket]

did you fully baked the level??

[empty bobcat]

yes, ofc, before packaging

[plush thicket]

ok

[empty bobcat]

ok, works, not great not terrible. I do not want waste time for it 😄

[empty bobcat]

what should I select here?

[plush thicket]

you need only the .map file and that it

[empty bobcat]

there is not .map file

yesterday, building map07 I checked everything what was name with map name

[plush thicket]

Sorry should i told you this before , you need repackage again only check yourmapname.map

[empty bobcat]

omg

wait, but can I just show where is my entryway7.map on disk, instead of this?

[plush thicket]

oh wait there more need to package gimme a sec

[empty bobcat]

it's not great described in documentation 😄 just "use the wizzard"

[plush thicket]

gonna send something In dm's it big

[empty bobcat]

ok

[plush thicket]

how I can reach the mods ?? Don't know how to use ModMail bot lmao

[empty bobcat]

Isn't Bridgeburner a mod here?

at least I see this in right side of discord

[plush thicket]

yeah but I don't wanna to ping the mods

[empty bobcat]

ah, ok

[atomic bay]

Simply send a private/direct message to @ ModMail. It'll ask whether you want to send the message (and which server to send it to), and then you can click on ✅, ❌, 1️⃣, 2️⃣, et cetera reaction buttons below its question to choose where to send it to. Then, all moderators/administrators in the server can see and respond to your message.

[plush thicket]

Thanks brother

[empty bobcat]

alive 🙂 Thanks to Saleem for help! 🙂

[prisma vector]

Shouldn't there be music in so campaign maps? Couldn't you copy how they did it?

[empty bobcat]

what are asking about? You want music in your own map?

[polar nexus]

yo, i can't find where to type in console: devmap entryway7

[chilly pasture]

Now that ID has made the tools available, something I would love to see that I know would take a lot of time and technical skill that I don't personally have is full fan remakes of Classic Doom campaigns in Eternal. I would be all over that.

[drifting hawk]

someone already did a really impressive e1m1

[chilly pasture]

I have played that yeah. 🙂

[empty bobcat]

hit ~ and than type devmap entryway7

[polar nexus]

that one is pretty good

[drifting hawk]

I wanna play it but the launcher won't let me log-in, so I'm screwed 😭

[chilly pasture]

After playing it I was like "Yeah, I'd replay all of classic doom like this." Having just gotten IDKFA and IDKFA 2 now as well for Doom + Doom 2 and we've even got modern crisp mixes of the classic music that could be used for other levels.

[drifting hawk]

exactly. I can definitely see it happening

[chilly pasture]

I wait with great anticipation.

[hard tapir]

someone was working on a super epic e3m1

looked even more detailed than the e1m1 that already got released by the looks of it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1271883689722118255/1275643001695113226/image.png?ex=66c89cdf&is=66c74b5f&hm=1f75cac7b1bde227083bec53358e1beedc2acb8294d2d93c1963fce1fd24b469&

this was the one screenshot they sent

[plush thicket]

First ever modded cutscene !!!

[empty bobcat]

Looks great!

[empty bobcat]

that's a good place to make a little arena, yeeeeaaahhh :>

[hard tapir]

not mine, also thats the starting area from E3M1 from doom 1

so its not gonna be an arena

[empty bobcat]

Yes, yes, but I say it could be a good place to make an arena in DOOM I style.
I was working on 3 maps same time, last one, the first one I started - E1M1 (yeah, I know we already got it, but my will be more raw classic like without cool models). I'm working on computer room now:

[hasty oyster]

is there not a way to add tags after you upload?

[empty bobcat]

I forgot about this too

[hasty oyster]

let me know if you figure it out. I can edit the overview, ss and desp

[empty bobcat]

Do you know guys some blue energy textures not animated?

[glad nimbus]

Is modding on steam easy with doom 2016

Wrong channel sorry

[polar nexus]

rn i'm looking at the disturbing facts while listening to exultia ambience to make the combination creepy

[teal cedar]

With idStudio tool, is possible to change the HUD, weapon logic, player camera, gamemodes, ...?
I wonder if it would be possible to develop a mod like Quake 3 multiplayer deathmatch

[hasty oyster]

looks like you can't, so ill have to unpublish and republish maybe?

because without tags, it will not show up on searches

[empty bobcat]

yeah, probably yeah. But I'm not sure what about download count and hearts

[hasty oyster]

even if "all" is selected

[empty bobcat]

oh

[hasty oyster]

it gets purged, i had to do that already once

30 likes gone!! 😭

"beta"

[empty bobcat]

is there possible to skip cinematic logos in mods?

[vital lichen]

I'd probably use less lights, just for optimization things

[vital lichen]

What? Cinematic logos??

[empty bobcat]

beth/id logo, health warnings...

[vital lichen]

Aaaaah I thought you meant a custom logo modders would put in their mods

Nah you can't skip corporate logos afaik

[empty bobcat]

in vanilla you can do it 🙂

[vital lichen]

HOW???

[stiff plaza]

Launch commands

+com_skipIntroVideo 1.

[vital lichen]

Thank you. I owe you one.

[empty bobcat]

+com_skipIntroVideo 1

ah, I was too late 😄 take this screenshot instead

[vital lichen]

Sexy doom guy

[empty bobcat]

Bloodshot1 made a real cool looking map

[vital lichen]

You play with rtx always on?

[empty bobcat]

yes

[vital lichen]

I tried but it bugs me off

I mean I can run it with no problems, but I'd rather not

[empty bobcat]

well, at least in DOOM Eternal, it doesn't work in editor

[empty bobcat]

what gpu you got?

[vital lichen]

Rtx 3070

I mean it works fine, but it's not for me

[eager ginkgo]

I want them frames per second 🤑

[empty bobcat]

It's quite good gpu for DE

[hasty oyster]

so many mods i want to make, so little time, not to mention ill need to learn a shit more...

must start slow, i think the next thing on my list is making several cacodemon recolors. Each will have some unique abilities and stats. I can probably manage that for now.

[empty bobcat]

Cybercaco...

[hasty oyster]

Elemental Cacodemons. Inspired my my mini paintings I started during covid lockdown. Will need to do a green poison one as well

[hasty oyster]

There is one already on the mod section. Not sure how it works though

[empty bobcat]

SO CUTE!

They are from board game?

I have no talent to paint models.

[hasty oyster]

Cacolantern(fire): Immune to flameblech and effects, mild boost to HP. Projectiles add a burning effect to the slayers hub and additional DoT. CacoLich (ice): Mild HP bonsus, Immune to Frost grenade, ice attacks add slayer hub effects and may slow the player down for a short time. OmegaCaco (purple): Beefed up in every way possible, faster, immune to weakpoints. CacoSlimer(poison): More HP, attacks remove rad suit armor, hud damage, who knows. Just spit balling right now

[hasty oyster]

Yes the Doom 2016 board game.

It was my lockdown covid project since i had nothing better to do. So i learned how to paint mini's.

[empty bobcat]

That's realy cool 🙂

[hasty oyster]

I think with this mod, i need ot learn how the encounters work in the campaign. I would like to make it so anytime a caco spawns, it picks one of the AI through some spawner that weighs the chances. Much like in GZDoom. Example: 10% Normal, 10% purple, 20% ice, 20% fire, 20% poison. Keeps the game more dynamic and different

[empty bobcat]

final boss - giant caco, oh wait, I'll show you something if you like cacos 😄

😄

do you know how to use DOOM textures, there are in browser, but in game they are white?

[eager ginkgo]

nope no clue, i have this issue too

[normal badger]

heya folks

new here but I was hoping I could join and ask a few questions if you don't mind

I'm wondering how exactly I change what weapons/abilities you start with when you start the map

[empty bobcat]

yeah, that's the question I had problem with for week 🙂 Gimme a second...

[normal badger]

are you the same DOOM MARINE who made the entryway remake btw? I played that just today and thought it was very neat

I've been mapping for doom for nearly a decade now but Eternal is another beast to me haha, very overwhelming

[empty bobcat]

Yeah 🙂 I'm glad you like it. I'm hardcore DOOM fan and not happy with inacurate in this level, but it was more for learning than real mapping. Ok - loadout: #eternal-modding message

[empty bobcat]

Cool. Mostly I'm Prodeus mapper 🙂

[normal badger]

oh thanks for the tip

awesome, any way to give you air dashes? I guess you could just put the pick up in the level

[empty bobcat]

you can for example use loadout with all stuff, like in DLC start.

but if you like only dash, you can make it via Logic (I did this way, but I'm not sure it's proper, but works). Gimme a sec and I show you.

[normal badger]

could you apply the "classic mode" loadout?

[empty bobcat]

where you see that? If there is such decl you can try to use it.

To get dash - go to 2d view - and put on map

select it and open Logic Designer

[normal badger]

alright

[empty bobcat]

than:

select this logic func you already put on map

[normal badger]

gotcha

[empty bobcat]

you get blank grid

[normal badger]

yep

[empty bobcat]

right click: and choose BEGIN

[normal badger]

got it

[empty bobcat]

than you can put again from right click Modify Inventory

you can link them begin with modify inventory

[normal badger]

alright

is it like you go under "collectible" and you give it ability_dash or something?

[empty bobcat]

yes 😄

taking screenies and cut them takes a time a bit 😄

so that's all. You can play with this to add other stuff you like.

[normal badger]

alright thank you so much let me see if I can get it to work

[empty bobcat]

I'm just learning, so there could be better method 🙂

[normal badger]

hmmm

it doesn't seem to work I wonder if I did something wrong haha

[empty bobcat]

you need to save of course

[normal badger]

I did and I built the map

does activate have to be checked?

[empty bobcat]

I said wrong, sorry 🙂 - you should choose in:

inventory

not perks

I hope this logic saved in this map 🙂

you have to slowbuild to run it

it works 🙂

[normal badger]

yep

got it to work

tysm

[gleaming crater]

How similar are the mod tools to stuff like unity or unreal engine? I have a bit of experience in those two

[atomic bay]

Alternatively, you can make or edit a devInvLoadout decl to include the "ability_dash" item, and set that decl as the map's Devmap Inv Loadout ( #eternal-modding message ). Every vanilla devInvLoadout from E1M3 and onwards includes it by default, too.

[empty bobcat]

Well, it's not similar to nor of both. It's like classic QUAKE 3 radiant on steroids, more like DOOM 3 Radiant on steroids.

[gleaming crater]

Never used those

[normal badger]

lol I added an imp but he keeps killing himself hahaha

[empty bobcat]

You can work only on brushes, not with planes (but I'm not sure about this - are there planes in CSG Unity? I played with this only few days :D)

[empty bobcat]

no nav mesh

[gleaming crater]

Didn't even know doom 3 had official mod tools too tbh

[empty bobcat]

DOOM 3 has inbult editor, original DOOM not bfg)

[normal badger]

ohhh

[empty bobcat]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/gameplay/ai/navigation-mesh#add-nav-mesh-to-your-map

[gleaming crater]

No iirc

[empty bobcat]

First and the most difference - in Unity you build in 3d view, and this my fav type of building, in here mostly in 2d view. You can build brush in 3d view.

In ancient times there were 4 windows for top/side1/side2/3d 😄

[normal badger]

thank you

[empty bobcat]

I realy like Prodeus and Trenchbroom editors, they are realy functional and user friendly. Radiant is after all of them.
Produes > TB (or equal) > Unity (I didn't try Unreal, so can't say, but probably similar to Unity)>radiant

I'm working on recreating original DOOM texture in 3d 😄 I'm sure it will crash when I use now CSG XD

this one

hmm, doesn't work

[normal badger]

does this have vertex editing?

like hammer or trenchbroom? where you can sheer edges and stuff

[empty bobcat]

ah, yes, but is super bugged :/

but you can drag edges... but only in 2d view 😦

ctrl + E = drag edges in 2d

[normal badger]

can you subdivide?

[empty bobcat]

yes with CSG tool

I'm just trying to cut this geo from above 😄 Remember to make backups and save often. IdS likes to crash!

[normal badger]

I'm kind of wondering, I added a cube to my map to put an imp on top of, I added it to the "nav" group
