eternal-modding

[dark pendant]

Yep I got it. About to publish it soon. Make sure to read through the description and known issues when it's up! I'll link it soon

https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1585

It's live!

[plush thicket]

tiME oT Play

[dark pendant]

Yeah, let me know if it's busted or unable to launch!

[plush thicket]

I forget when I download from nexus it only take 5% of internet speed

I send it to all my friends too

[muted bobcat]

Yoo, dope, time to hop on Eternal

[plush thicket]

@dark pendant

@dark pendant won't let me load to the level

[dark pendant]

ok hold on let me fix

[plush thicket]

KK

my friends also told it won't either

[half kraken]

hi

[dark pendant]

so you took the 669430 folder out of the zip file and put it in active mods, right?

[plush thicket]

Ignore my other mods

[dark pendant]

I believe I uploaded the wrong folder. I'm just going to upload the folder that was created upon packaging instead of making a new one

[dark pendant]

Should be fixed, proper folder was selected

[plush thicket]

ok

[dark pendant]

Hoping that works

[plush thicket]

It working

[dark pendant]

Heck yeah!

[plush thicket]

level crashed LOL

[dark pendant]

where at?

[plush thicket]

First arena

crashed once tho

[dark pendant]

it crashes on me sometimes, then I load back in and it works more

[plush thicket]

I play until the second wave of the third arena, overall the encounters is balanced but the pacing of encounters feel like master level pacing, want to ask you about the cliping how you did the cliping for your level ??

overall visual, geo it high quality

[dark pendant]

I blocked out playable space for clipping in some areas with more strict layout, like in the Cult Ruins. For the first arena though, there is a lot more room to move outside the arena until you get teleported back. It's a mixed of more focused and more constricted arenas, designed to keep players switching playstyles

And yes the level is quite challenging, with the Slayer gate being the "Crank it to the Max" challenge. I wanted to make a lot of encounters we didn't get to see in the game, like Cursed Prowlers interacting with Marauders, more varied possessions like Revenants, cacodemons, archviles, etc.

[fickle glade]

@dark pendant Hey I put the mod foler into activemods but when I pasted the command into console, it said it's not part of the package

Did I do something wrong?

[dark pendant]

I had to do an update and replace the files earlier, if you downloaded it early right when I announced it you may still have the old one

[fickle glade]

No, I downloaded the 2 gig one

The newest one

Wait, I think I just have it on the wrong place

[dark pendant]

Did ya fix it?

[fickle glade]

Yeah I just put it in the wrong place

Such a fun level

The whole archpriests encounter at the end was a little exhausting tho

[molten token]

How do you do it to generate that kind of "mist" in the environment???

[dark pendant]

Glad to hear! And yeah I can understand that, even when making the level I was starting to run out of new ways to challenge the player. A secret tip I forgot to mention was that any enemies buffed by them are super weak to unmakyr and take normal bfg damage, and there's that respawning bfg pickup

[turbid rune]

Any suggestions for a modding on-ramp? Is there a guide yall used to get skilled up?

I think it’d be fun to build a deathmatch map

[fickle glade]

Doom Eternal doesn't have deathmatch

[halcyon stratus]

El no sabe

[prisma vector]

Level up with HR Giger

[oak geyser]

With scattering lights, local ones and/or via an environment https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/lighting-and-rendering/light-scattering

[molten token]

man this is just what I needed!

[turbid rune]

Whomp whomp. I guess just a vanilla level then

Figured deathmatch would be simplest

Still working on a first playthru of Eternal campaign so I haven’t even tried multiplayer yet

[topaz fulcrum]

Where can I find information on how to set the starting loadout/suit upgrades etc at the start of a level?

[molten token]

The way most people do it is with "devmap in loadout" in the "worldentity" elentity inspector. You go down to the devmap in loadout option, and there you select the equipment that is in the level, to have all the improvements and weapons, etc. .. they use the dlc2 e5m3_hell (to see the imnspector entity of the entity world you must click on the edit world once or on the camera world and press exit (by doing this the game will It will automatically select the inspector entity from the entity world and there you go to the inspector entity where I said and select e5m3_hell which is the equipment that is in immora if I'm not mistaken

If in the eneity inspector you see the options "env settings" or "devmap in loeadoout" it means that you are in the world entity, since these are not seen in any other entity

At the beginning of the video I had any entity selected, then I clicked on the world edit once, then pressed exit and you see how in the entity inspector the world entity was immediately selected with its properties

[topaz fulcrum]

Thanks @molten token ! Thanks for the very clear explanation. This works perfectly. ❤️

[cobalt cipher]

Hello Everyone! Long time, no see! Hope you're all doing well <3

Could anyone explain to me why a load of my materials are just... white?

They are showing correctly in the asset browser, but displaying as White in the preview and world editor. The Decl file also appears to be broken?

[plush thicket]

Did you modify any material2 decls ??

Welcome back by the way 😄

[cobalt cipher]

I don't believe so, I don't think I'd have had a reason to

[plush thicket]

Can you check your decltree folder if you have any material2 decls files ??

[cobalt cipher]

Where would I be looking for that?

[plush thicket]

If not, that we can do create a backup for you mod incase something happen, and close the studio then Delete the generated folder see if that help, if not, try to verify files You might done that

[plush thicket]

In your mod folder

base/decltree

[cobalt cipher]

Only one, which must have saved when I was trying to investigate the problem.

I'm gonna do a clean reinstall overnight and we'll see if that fixes it

[oblique dirge]

Hi guys I’m back to!

[prisma vector]

@oblique dirge Thought ya didn't leave..

[oblique dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-trinity-dance-gif-14901759

[oblique dirge]

Probably going to replace the skybox so I could be less foggy, but it is looking really really good to me. I really like the way I did it. This is the starting area. I do not have any other areas yet, but I will be Collab with some people to make custom areas

[prisma vector]

As long as you can still see the demons to kill them. You should keep it, I like the atmosphere.

[fickle glade]

Welcome back, struggler

[simple quiver]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to follow along with the tutorial for creating a box map, and when I get to the step where I apply materials to surfaces, the materials are just nothing but gray, am I missing an asset pack that I should be downloading?

[oblique dirge]

look in DMS

[dark pendant]

So is mod packaging just completely broken right now?

[plush thicket]

Question did you use visibility layers for your level ???

and did you organized your lights based in that docs https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/lighting-and-rendering/tech-overview

[dark pendant]

It's the same level as before, I've packaged it before but made some updates.

[dark pendant]

Made an update to my level with new features and some arena extensions/modifications:

https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1585

[fickle glade]

So, I wanna add the Super Gore Nest music to my level, and I know I gotta use a musicentity, and I got it working for my last map but now I can't remember how to get it working properly

Any help?

I set up the secondary switch states and switch group and it's still not playing

So, I set it to reclaimed earth's music and now it works?

[fickle glade]

Also does maintainAIcount last through an encounter? Or when the max of the specified AI spawn?

Wait nvm just read that it should be set to -1 for infinite respawns

[lavish apex]

This looks like an official map in terms of quality

[narrow fractal]

is there brutal doom for doom eternal lmao imagine

[dusk folio]

i think it'd be cool if the pinky model was just a giant pinky finger with legs

[robust stag]

Wsp

I downloaded a big chungus mod

[lavish apex]

oh my god that looks great, how long have you been working on that?

[plush thicket]

I start with the blockout the last week

[lavish apex]

that's crazy fast, I cant wait to see how it turns out

[hasty oyster]

i wonder if we get any updates to modding at the direct in a few days.

[molten token]

You must use a music entity and put what is in the photo for the super gore nest music, you must link the music entity to a trigger (I don't know why this should be like this, you don't need to go through the trigger, you just have to have it linked to a trigger and that's it)

[fickle glade]

Wait it just needs to have a trigger?

Just, at all?

[molten token]

yes, just link a trigger - trigger to the music entity, and that's it

[fickle glade]

What the fuck?

[molten token]

that's it, and the music will start at the beginning of the level

[fickle glade]

Also I knew about the extra steps with secondary switch group and state but just...Huh?!

[molten token]

At least I can guarantee that if you add a musical entity linked to a trigger and put exactly what is in the photo, when you start the level the super gore nest music will start

[fickle glade]

God that's weird

[molten token]

Remember to have the "start when spawned" checked

[fickle glade]

I'll try that tomorrow thanks

[molten token]

This must be like this, "shadesman" from YouTube told me this a while ago, so it's like this even he said (it should be like this, link the music entity to a trigger trigger)

[fickle glade]

@molten token So I played around a half hour of Heaven Ascent and here's some feedback:

1. SHRINK THE LEVEL DOWN

There is so much long stretches of nothing happening and long wide open areas

The further I played I noticed the level was about climbing that giant tree

I think the level pace and overall quality would be a lot better if all the wandering around the tree base was just cut out

A level focused almsot entirely around verticality would be very unique and refreshing

2. Get rid of those weird giant rachnos and tyrants

I don't know what those are all about and fighting them is just awkward with how they zip around all over

3. Use objective markers

With how confusing the layout is giving the player some pointers would be optimal

4. Get rid of all the spammed ammo, supercharge and BFG pickups

Seriously with how sparse your encounters are THAT much ammo is not necessary at all

[molten token]

man, thank you very much for the comment, personally I would like more if all the moddfers tried to do what I did, I need more "levels" of doom, that are long, that I can play for 30 minutes and save the game and come back that day Next, the level is quite changed, it adds "clips" everywhere, it fills at least twice as many demons, and personally I like the idea I put in, I wanted something more in the style of "doom classics" not something so linear, rather large areas that open up to each other and return to visited places, but it is a very big job! People really take your mod as if you were an eternal doom expert worker, so having made a level like that without a "map" or without "objectives" to follow all the time became somewhat difficult, there are many hidden secrets and those large areas of doing "nothing" is that they hide hidden things, for example in one part of the exteriors there is a portal if you look towards the ground that takes you to a secret of Daisy and no one saw it hahaha there is another secret that NO ONE I found it near the same place, so I have to try harder, I really wanted to publish that level "at Christmas" to give something to people since there were no mods coming out :/ and I wanted to save Christmas in some way (although apparently it was all the opposite) I will re-release the level with everything improved, although now I have left it somewhat aside for a guitar contest haha

[molten token]

The ammo is there, because there are "2 BFGs and an unmaker" hidden "around the place before the encounters, that way those who decide to use it can finish the encounters faster if they don't want to play them so much, also the demons "don't scale" walls so the arenas feel that big even though they are not that big, it already adds more "meathook" and portals that take you from one area to another within the same arenas, I need work to make demons climb walls and learn to lower them, but I'll leave that for last.

As I said, the problem is that I couldn't finish EVERYTHING before Christmas, for the final version I will add objectives, more portals, more balanced encounters, the player will start with the entire arsenal since no one likes progressing with the mods, it will have clips added to all the platforms and arenas etc, I LIKE the big tyrants! because I feel that they force you to "use" weapons that are normally considered useless, that is, the unkamer for example, since it is uncomfortable to chase them and it is difficult to hold on to them with the shotgun hook (although it is my opinion of course) either It's like there are so many, and instead of one big spider in the encounter there will be 2 a little smaller but equally big, mmm I think my level will be 100% ready in March or April and I will take advantage of asking the community some questions before publishing it

[fickle glade]

But the thing is, classic Doom style level design just doesn't really work in something like Eternal

It works better with design that's more streamlined, not necessarily linear, just streamlined

[distant sage]

Classic Doom player here. This is 100% true.

Eternal was built around a more linear style

[molten token]

I agree, although for me the game works quite well that way, on my level I have had a lot of fun and I like it, it is true that some areas feel empty, but being so big it would feel somewhat saturated if you get hell every 2 by 3, in reality if you plan to play the level to finish quickly and you will no longer enjoy it, since there are many hidden areas and that is the beauty, work a lot on the visual so that no area feels boring, although I will try to balance better Everything, for me the level is quite good, maybe I would like to do a lot of things with the level, for example some version where you just go from one arena to another instead of having to "progress" through the level, and if I knew how to change " things" in the gameplay, for example, throwing random demons around the place, and when you reach the counter of 100 demons the game ends, or something battle royal style where areas are closed or you have to "hide" even though well, with a lot of luck I learned to use the program to set up a manager meeting and that's it haha

[fickle glade]

If you want a level where there's no "arenas" that's fine but I truly think cutting down the really expansive parts would do wonders in people having better feedback

Not only that but it would probably help the performance as well

[molten token]

I agree! I don't know if I really make more mods but I will try to apply smaller things next time, I think the performance can be improved with something that I "didn't do" on my level

[molten token]

Do you think the "soul processor" mod will ever reach the mod portal? I would really like to play it just like unholy urdak

[fickle glade]

Spearten said the portal wouldn't package it, so whenever the portal gets updated again, we'll just have to wait and see.

wip

[molten token]

only if it is updated 😦

[molten token]

This looks incredible! Will it be an arena or a level like "Levitation Ascend"?

[plush thicket]

It arena mod, but also have some areas for exploration

Highly inspired from quake horde mode, this mod will have different modes

[oak geyser]

You can play it right now, just unzip the file in your active mods directory, and that's it.

[polar nexus]

damn son. how long did it took?

[plush thicket]

1 and half week

[polar nexus]

let me know when it's about to be finished

[molten token]

brilliant!! sounds interesting

[molten token]

I download the files from where?

[oak geyser]

From nexusmods #eternal-modding message

[molten token]

Man, it worked perfectly for me, thank you very much!!!! I was surprised by how good the level looks

[molten token]

I must say that I found Spearten's work incredible! I really liked the innovation in lighting details, and I liked that ending with the demons summoned "spirits souls" style. I don't really know how he did it to make the demons appear in light blue ghost style but it was great! perhaps to my personal taste (but it is something personal that I see does not happen to others) some arenas seemed a little excessively long, although I understand that it is so that the mod lasts longer, one also gets excited with the encounter manager, everything I thought it was a great mod!

[signal cedar]

has anybody else encountered the issue with Marauders just not being staggered in the new sandbox exe?

I've been doing a playthrough with a couple of mostly visual mods and Marauders feel hella weird, when you shoot them during the green eyes flash they just... block it

[fickle glade]

@plush thicket So I used some monster clips on certain parts and I still see demons running into walls sometimes

Do I need to put the monster clip over the brush or make the side of the brush have the monster clip material?

Here's some screenshots so you have an idea

[plush thicket]

Not if you using the clip no areas you don't have to put monster clips, usaually monster clip put in props that you won't demon to run to, only the player can ofcourse depends how you change the content filter in clipmodelinfo

remember add every clip brush into a nav group

[fickle glade]

I did that and they still run into walls

[plush thicket]

did you disable the player clip and monster clip in the model kit that you add ??

did you add any custom model kit to your map ??

[fickle glade]

THere are no cutom models other than the one that compromises my level geometry

I'm making a port of kokiri forest

I asked Microwaved Bunny how he made his Mario 64 level

He told me for the level geo to have collsion I need to make collision clips as best as I can

The only "models" I have are things that are necessary for gameplay like meathook nodes

@plush thicket

It's almost done I'm just trying to iron out any issues I find

[plush thicket]

ohhh so that it only one piece, like one model right ??

[fickle glade]

Yes

[plush thicket]

does it have collision in default ??

[fickle glade]

No

[plush thicket]

Can you show me your cliping setup ??

[plush thicket]

Can't tell why everything green ??

lol

[fickle glade]

because its almsot all collision clips

[plush thicket]

can you check your nav see if the nav goes behind the walls ??

[fickle glade]

Hmm looks like it does

This part right here was a particular offender of thes issue

Hell Knights and Prowlers would sometimes run into the wall of this hut

[plush thicket]

so they just get inside the wall they don't die ??

[fickle glade]

No they keep running into the wall

[plush thicket]

I guess just put another monster clip layer and make it more wider then the clip that you have in that platform

[fickle glade]

ok

This isn't like making the level unplayable or anything I just want to have my level be decently polished

[plush thicket]

I understand but you must try to do 1:1 cliping to the geo to make polished, off cliping it full problems but since you say it working fine that what matter.

I notice you don't use refmaps

[molten token]

I really don't understand much about what refmaps are, is it using a map created by idsoftware and from that creating your own level on top of it?

[plush thicket]

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

[molten token]

doom the dark age was INCREDIBLE!!

bro, I'm in a fit of emotion, doom the dark ages far exceeded my expectations WTF

[prisma vector]

@molten token Hell yeah can't wait
I'm getting the collectors edition.

[fickle glade]

If I was making a larger map I would use them, but mine's pretty small so I don't deem that necessary

[plush thicket]

refmaps still helpful will organized your entities, it been used in multiplayer maps, same for the graveyard map

[fickle glade]

Ik I'll use it next time

[fickle glade]

@modest obsidian I think I'm having the same issue Spearten has where my mod is unable to be packaged

I've selected the full directory of the mod and yet when I see the release files all it has is the modinfo.json

[modest obsidian]

I got the report from spearten I meant to message him. But i think we figured out the issue, let me see if I can find a workaround for y'all and ill respond.

[fickle glade]

How long can I expect to wait?

[modest obsidian]

Ill see what I can find out tomorrow and let you know.

[fickle glade]

Ok, thank you

Also will there be a hotfix that addresses this?

[modest obsidian]

TBD - issues are worked through a priority but we escalated this issue.

[fickle glade]

Ok

[plush thicket]

what the files you packaged ??

[fickle glade]

The main mod folder, its like 400 mb

[plush thicket]

Did you only package the map file and your custom map model ??

[fickle glade]

Yes

I mean no

I had edited decls like invloadout and menuoption as well

I made sure to package those too

[plush thicket]

you basically package only the map file, the map model, and devinvloaout and the devmenuoption decls that it ??

[fickle glade]

yeah but also the map models textures

[plush thicket]

I guess you have to go with nexus atm

[modest obsidian]

I sent fozzy some info, working with them to iron out the issue.

[rich prism]

I'm infinitely grateful for all your hard work. The effort put into releasing these tools to the public and how much of a gift it is to the community can't be understated

[modest obsidian]

Thank you, the tools are a beast and trying to iron out a lot of stuff! thank you to you all for helping out, really appreciate it too. 🧡

[noble kettle]

How do I install mods? There's no workshop?

[modest obsidian]

Hey! Check out https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/

As a summary: Opt into the optional "pc-mod-preview" beta branch on Steam (also on MS Store) and then you will see a brand new DOOM Eternal Launcher. This has 3 tabs for: Playing DOOM Eternal (vanilla), Mods (browsing and downloading mods) and then Creations (id Studio and Mod Creation). Then youll need to look at https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/doom-eternal-launcher/general for setting up your environment in a proper manner and then browse and download and play mods!

For Creators

Creations Tab is where you want to be - Download the Asset Packs and idStudio here

[molten token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yaCFo6JOIM

or you can also watch this video and do the same thing he does

[polar nexus]

i wonder how it goes with the full release of mod support

[halcyon stratus]

They're probably working on expanding the documentation articles and bug squashing.

[atomic bay]

@modest obsidian - FEATURE REQUEST - An option to disable sandboxing while using mods

The PC Mod Preview launcher's "Play DOOM Eternal" button has a separate set of save data from the "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button. Additionally, achievements and internet connectivity(?) are disabled with mods.
I agree with disabling (public) BattleMode matchmaking and Horde leaderboards while using mods, but it'd be nice to be able to use mods to "extend" the game/add replay value, while picking up where you left off in the vanilla game (and vice-versa when you stop using mods), and still earn achievements and Series/Events XP (and share the same Doom Level XP with and without mods).
Even key bindings(!), graphics options, and other settings are stored separately with and without mods.

Achievements and the Series/Events system encourage you to "play the game more", and mods provide "more game to play", but they're currently incompatible with each other.

@modest obsidian - FEATURE REQUEST - Allow Steam Cloud synchronisation for the sandbox

When using mods, the sandbox's save data is currently not Steam Cloud-synchronised. (That's technically not a "bug", just a "missing feature".)

[plush thicket]

cliping be like

[full jacinth]

Is there a way to see which files utilise a file instead of only being able to see the dependents? Most of the time I want to find the decl that uses a file. Not see where it came from originally.

[proven python]

We’ve reached peak skin mods for this game

[molten token]

Can people answer my question? Will Doom the Dark Ages require an RTX card? I have an NVIDIA GTX 1600 super, and well, is there no way to lower its graphics and play the same? That is, I won't even be able to start the game with an RTX? 😦

[distant sage]

the listed minimum card is a 2060 Super, so more than likely

[molten token]

He asked why I had "less" than the minimum requirements that Doom Eternal required, and well, it ran slowly or I could lower its graphics and everything was fine (I would settle for that in dark age) but if I don't even want to be able to run it, that's my problem.

I wish some id software worker could answer this in some forum haha ​​:(

[oblique dirge]

Been working on a lot of stuff and a lot of levels I’m going to make i’m going on and off on different levels that will probably release in the future or soon

[lavish apex]

the game says it requires an RTX card, if it's anything like the Indiana jones game (also on idtech) you won't even be able to start it

[proven python]

Not just RTX cards. Anything Radeon 6000 and above… specifically the 6800 non xt to run it at high 1440p

[lavish apex]

*yea sorry, cards with raytracing hardware

[hard tapir]

the reason it requires a raytracing card is because it likely will be relying solely on dynamic lighting rather than baked lighting

lowering the graphics settings wont help because that baked lighting data just isnt there

i think there was a driver that let you run raytracing games on a gtx 16 series card using a compute shader implementation of raytracing

idk if that will work with this, and performance would be utter ass, but maybe it would work

[molten token]

Thank you very much for this information!

[hard tapir]

yeah i just googled it and it is a thing

[pseudo igloo]

not even sure if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone have any advice for idStudio refusing to launch? the issue is that idStudio will have the green 'Running' notification beside it on Steam... and then it will simply stop and nothing happens. i've verified the integrity of the Tool files several times, and i also have the proper hardware and can post my system specs if need be. but i'm really having no luck finding any tips on this so far🤔

[hard tapir]

Don’t launch idstudio directly through steam, launch doom eternal on the modding branch, and it will open a launcher and then go to the idstudio tab and you will be able to make a project and launch idstudio with it

[oak geyser]

Does anyone know what the secret to the Lava FX material's "cooling" behavior is? The effect can be seen in various game assets, and from the looks of it, it seems related to the mesh density, where more density = cooler lava, however it simply doesn't work with my own meshes, and actually, it doesn't even work with the unchanged vanilla game assets after simply exporting them to FBX, so I would assume that there's more to it than just the mesh density? 🤔

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AgTHLl7jcE

[atomic bay]

I'm going to guess that it's based on vertex colours. Maybe an additional UV map instead (or even a vertex group), but I'm assuming the vertex colours thing.
That said, either way, if the information about it gets "lost" by simply exporting the model as FBX and re-importing that FBX, you might want to ping @ halfp1nt with a bug report about that.

[oak geyser]

Vertex colors sounds promising, I'll give that a try. Also maybe I should try some LWO importer for Blender to check if there's additional data being retained... do you know by any chance whether the game's LWO assets are vanilla LightWave 3D compatible format?

[atomic bay]

In Doom 2016, they're not, so I assume not in Doom Eternal either. (Edit: Although I don't know about in idStudio's files.)

[oak geyser]

Hmmm, opposed to the LWOs extracted with for example EternalResourceExtractor, the LWOs from idStudio actually seem to have valid LWO header info (they start with FORM ... LWO2 ...), so I guess there's a chance that they're vanilla. Gotta see if I can find someone who has LW3D.

[oak geyser]

So apparently there's a trial for LightWave 3D, but you can only find it when you're registered (and logged in) and use the search function, and when you "order" it you're being redirected to an error page 👍 , however you still receive a confirmation email, and you can then download it from your account, but then the installer isn't even digitally singed in the year of the lord 2025... bruh wth 🤦

[pseudo igloo]

right, i've tried this. it brings up this window right here:

[oak geyser]

Turns out you were on point, it is indeed vertex paint 👍 But no matter what, I can't get it to work with FBX, not even with FBX exported from LightWave 3D (where one has to use some special interchange export instead of the regular export because otherwise the vertex paint isn't exported at all). If I paint on my mesh in LW3D and export it as LWO, then it works fine in idStudio, so I guess it's either a bug in idStudio, or vertex paint export/import from FBX simply isn't implemented. In any case something that I'll report as suggested.

[sage sentinel]

Hey guys any way to use this mod with the official mod launcherhttps://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1331

The one available on the official mod launcher is kinda broken

[nimble aspen]

Any way to fix this? I made a prefab that looks fine with a dynamic light, but if it has a static light in front of it all the edges are visible

[prisma vector]

I also won't be able to run the game don't worry we the same

[oak geyser]

@modest obsidian - BUG - (or FEATURE REQUEST) Vertex color support for FBX export/"import"

Various materials seem to use vertex colors for influencing certain aspects of the materials, for example art/tile/fx/lava_flow uses it to blend in cooler (darker) Lava. It seems that this color information is not being exported to FBX. Also when an FBX is used where vertex colors are actually present, they do not seem to be used, while they are being used when the same model is brought in as LWO.

How to reproduce:

1. Open the source.lwo file in the static model editor

You should see a smiley drawn with cooled lava.

2. Export the model to FBX via Static Model > Export Model to FBX
3. Open the exported FBX in the static model editor

You should see that the cooled lava is gone. If you inspect the FBX file, you should see the the vertex colors are missing.

4. Open the FBX in Blender
5. Paint in some new grayscale colors via vertex painting
6. Export as a new FBX
7. Open the new FBX in idStudio's static model editor

You should see that there is still no cooled lava.

8. Import the FBX into LightWave 3D (via the regular import, not the interchanger)
9. Paint in some new grayscale colors via vertex painting
10. Export the model as LWO
11. Open the new LWO in idStudio's static model editor

You should see that the vertex paint now appears as cooled lava as expected.

I've attached a few sample files of the process:

• source.lwo - Original LWO file that contains vertex colors recognized by idStudio
• idstudio_exported.fbx - Static model editor exported FBX that is missing the vertex colors
• blender_exported.fbx - New FBX with newly added vertex colors
• lightwave3d_exported.lwo - FBX imported to LW3D and exported as LWO with newly added vertex colors

[plush thicket]

try to use decals to fix that

in official level they use decals to hide not align model kits

[ruby trout]

yo does anyone know how to mod eternal if i have it on microsoft store

[atomic bay]

On PC? Yes: #eternal-modding message
On an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S console? No - but if you're lucky, the official mod support might come to consoles once it's out of beta. (We don't know that for sure, though.)

[ruby trout]

oh cool i was just wondering how do i install them because i got the game using pc gamepass and all the video's i see just show the way of installing them through steam

i just clicked on your link thanks

[hasty oyster]

i dont see it coming ot console sorry. It dev kit requires a lot of resources. Not to mention a mouse and graphics tools if you really want to change things

[atomic bay]

I don't expect idStudio itself to come to consoles, but consoles may or may not get the ability to download and play with mods that have already been made and published using a PC.

[wind veldt]

has anyone ported Quake Champions' "Arena" Playermodel to Eternal? I've seen people port the upgraded 2016 Praetor and the DOOM 3 Armour but

thats so cool, is his logic done using logic designer?

no I used the aifsmmanager

[lavish apex]

oh sick

[wintry pecan]

How do you mod DOOM Eternal?

[distant sage]

What platform? If you're on any console platform, you can't.

[wintry pecan]

Steam

[distant sage]

I am assuming you mean playing and not making mods. The other folk here can help you with that.
Right-click Eternal on Steam and hit "Properties." Go into "Betas" and select the drop-down next to "Beta Participation."
Select "pc-mod-preview."

I would tell you how to set up the unofficial mod injector if I knew

But from what I've heard it's straight forward

[wintry pecan]

How do i get the skins to work?

[distant sage]

beats me

[dull musk]

Does anyone know if at some point the coop mod will be on the official modding workshop?

[distant sage]

It never will as they lock out the multiplayer mode in the game

[dull musk]

Oh okay fair point ty

[hard tapir]

thats very sad

modded multiplayer would have been cool

[muted bobcat]

It might come, if they update the mod portal to allow for multiplayer mods

[dull musk]

For real

[atomic bay]

Is cool, actually. As @ CoderPenguin1 said, PC Mod Preview mods block multiplayer entirely... but EternalModInjector mods only block public matchmaking, meaning that you can play private matches with friends.

There are several different kinds of multiplayer mods for EternalModInjector: Co-operative campaign play (https://gamebanana.com/mods/428523), Slayer versus Slayer deathmatch (https://gamebanana.com/mods/428520), even the scrapped Invasion Mode idea (https://gamebanana.com/mods/428528), a playable Baron of Hell and Doom Hunter (https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1347), and more.

[oak geyser]

Did you figure out how to get custom managers working (as in new aifsmmanager decls), or have you modified an existing one?

[oblique dirge]

map is done !!!!

[rich prism]

Looks pretty damn atmospheric. Good job

[haughty mica]

I modded an existing one and just gave it new nodes that can be accessed with a special Memory key only the Kamikaze has

[oak geyser]

Ah, bummers, for short momemt I thought somebody may have cracked the code. Injecting conditional behavior based on temp memory data keys was the best I could come up with too (for some reason it only ever worked when testing against a value of 1). I wonder if anyone already reported the problem of custom managers not working 🤔

[atomic bay]

Last I heard, idStudio mods don't let you use decls that don't "connect" to vanilla decls. So if you create a custom aifsmmanager that does not inherit* a vanilla aifsmmanager, and your custom aifsmmanager is only referenced by a custom entityDef(?) that also doesn't reference/get referenced by vanilla declarations, (edit: aifsmmanager decls never seem to be referenced by decls?) then neither the aifsmmanager nor entityDef work.
-# * I don't know whether "inherit and/or reference" works, or if it's specifically only "reference" that matters. "Reference" being any variable in a decl pointing to another decl (besides inherit).

I have no idea how accurate or inaccurate this is, though, so take this with a grain of salt. 🤷

[oak geyser]

I feel like I have tried inheritance... but I'm not sure, I'll have to give it a(maybe nother) try. If it is a "being referenced" problem, I wonder if any reference would work, like referencing the manager in some totally unrelated decl's property/variable where some other decl type is expected 🤔

[atomic bay]

[...] like referencing the manager in some totally unrelated decl's property/variable where some other decl type is expected 🤔
It has to be somewhere that looks for an aifsmmanager decl, with some "reference"/"dependency" chain going from it to a vanilla (or replaced vanilla) decl.
...Which might be a problem because aifsmmanager decls don't actually seem to be referenced by any decls? (But again, I'm not sure whether this is accurate.)

[oak geyser]

Yeah, the only references I could find where in these master graphs (aimastergraph), but then I couldn't find any references to those graph decls. Not even sure they are even being used, if I remember coprectly, making changes to the master graphs had no effect 🤷

[plush thicket]

Here's hoping your map packs properly

anyone know why when i load up doom eternal on steam it just gets stuck ona loading screen ?

[modest obsidian]

Thanks for this write up. 🗒️ ✍️

[cyan niche]

guys anyone knows why this happens? I just follow the instructions of the document (which is a very good one) and the mesh started doing this, anyone knows how can I fix it?

[remote fern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ATiZ1JxExs&pp=ygURZG9vbSBldGVybmFsIGJpa2U%3D does a mod like this for eternal exist lol

the bike is powered by a crucible blade and you can mount the bfg on the front, it's so dope

[haughty mica]

How does it look like in Blender?

[cyan niche]

the model itself looks like this

[haughty mica]

Before exporting, in Object Mode select the mesh, and go Object > Clean Up > Limit Total Vertex Groups and reduce the Limit by 1

[plush thicket]

peak model design

Love it

[empty bobcat]

is DOOM texture fancy here?

ok let me try

@haughty mica It works!! thank you so much!

[cyan niche]

yes it does

also, very good normal maps

[autumn copper]

hey. anyonw know where I can download meeth00k? I think my version of it is outdated cause it's the one straight on nexus

[oblique dirge]

Hey guys, my map is going to take a little longer than usual because I ran into a slight issue so I’ll have to say is one more week and I promise I hope I will release it

[empty bobcat]

have you tried import doom slayer or any demon to unreal engine 5?

[atomic bay]

The latest version should(?) be https://github.com/brongo/m3337ho0o0ok/releases/latest - but non-latest versions also still work fine.

If you're asking in regards to the pop-up caused by meath00k, then there's not much that you can do about it. Update 6.66 Rev 3 changed something that meath00k tries to scan for, so meath00k shows a pop-up about the scan failing. You probably don't use anything in meath00k that actually relies on that (which is part of the reason that meath00k hasn't been updated to fix it), so you can just ignore the pop-up and click "OK" to launch the game.

[halcyon stratus]

LMFAO.

[halcyon stratus]

[cyan niche]

how can I generate the "art" folder?

[exotic spruce]

I wanted to try id studio since I have been a fan of doom since 1993 doom. it seems like I need to upgrade my memory to make maps with this though

I really need 500GB of ram to make maps with id studio?

[brazen jacinth]

thats the storage space you need to download idstudio + every asset pack they offer. its only about 100gb to download without them. my computer can run it fine with just 16gb of ram, with some occasional freezing when navigating menus, so i'd say that's the minimum amount of ram you need

[exotic spruce]

plus id need the game to test my maps

[brazen jacinth]

yeah, doom eternal is required to download it in the first place. you can test the maps in the editor, but it still runs eternal doing that. so in total probably like ~180gb

[exotic spruce]

this is what I have left for memory. I could delete some stuff

[brazen jacinth]

i think that's your hard drive space. memory should be in the performance section of task manager

there's other ways to find it but task manager is an easy way i like

[exotic spruce]

do all the games I have in my steam library still take up space even though they arent installed?

[brazen jacinth]

nope

[exotic spruce]

I'm also kinda wondering how complicated id studio is

[brazen jacinth]

its basically the same tools that id used to develop the game, but there's an official wiki with tutorials and explanations to help you get started: https://idstudio.idsoftware.com

[exotic spruce]

thank you.

[brazen jacinth]

no problem

[halcyon stratus]

You'll also need to close every other program running in the backdorp as idStudio gets very finnicky with that.

Logically it's also very prone to crashes.

[random timber]

Guys, I’m new on installing mods

How do I install and put a mod on Eternal?

[atomic bay]

See here: #eternal-modding message

[woeful coral]

any help yall 💀
its like that on both pc and steam deck, vanilla
safe file was using the custom ui color pack mod a while back
any way to change the ui colors through some config?

reinstalled, verified files

[atomic bay]

Set "UI" > "Accessibility" > "Colorblind UI Mode" (or "Accessibility" > "UI" > "Colorblind UI Mode" - it exists in both tabs) to "None", then you should be able to change the UI colour profile option afterwards.

[woeful coral]

well thats a tad embarrassing no
anyway danke

[atomic bay]

well thats a tad embarrassing no [...]
(Actually, no - it's not embarrassing. The UI colour mod changed the "colour-blind" UI profiles into "normal" UI profiles to make the "UI Color Profile" option have more values. Then when you uninstalled the mod, your previous selection ended up now being a "colour-blind" UI profile, without even knowing that that's a thing.
If anything, it's embarrassing for id Software that it's so unintuitive to change back to a "normal" UI profile, even if you know about it.)

[severe coyote]

hey everyone, is there a tutoral on how to make rekins in ID Studio?

[exotic spruce]

I'm just wondering if 500GB of storage is recommended if I'm planning on making alot of projects.

[plush thicket]

you don't have to download all of them, just download the map assets that you need

[exotic spruce]

I was just thinking of making a couple maps using the regular assets

[exotic spruce]

that was awesome. the music made it feel kinda creepy. ever think of combining doom eternal with doom 3?

[oblique dirge]

Hmmm no I can try

[exotic spruce]

I actually was trying that with doom 2016

I was watching your video and thought it would be a good set piece for a doom eternal and doom3 combo

[oblique dirge]

Hmmm maybe my next my map

[exotic spruce]

I have 155GB left in my harddrive and 108 apps in my installed apps. I'm getting nervous

[oak geyser]

@modest obsidian - FEATURE REQUEST / BUG - Continuous IDLE CPU usage

I can't tell if this is a bug or not, but idStudio never stops putting load on the CPU, it keeps all cores busy at all times, even when it's just IDLEing... that is unless one opens a tool window, like for example the one for editing the mod description, then suddenly idStudio's CPU usage drops to 0%.

It would be nice if that 0% CPU usage would be the default when there is no activity (including no tab being open that requires continuous updates like the engine or the preview, unless maybe when the Window is minimized).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F0tkl0-lgI

[oak geyser]

@modest obsidian - FEATURE REQUEST - Various launcher/portal improvements

• In the "Installed / Active Mods" lists, make either the scrollbar background darker, or change the inactive scroll thumb color, currently there's very little contrast between the thumb and the background, making it almost invisible (that's kind of a bug, I know).

• Make the "Installed / Active Mods" lists/container adapt in height according to the window size, there's unused space below, and if one were to reduce the window size, the lists get cut off.

• Show notifications (and highlights in the library / installed mods list) when updates are available for installed mods.

• Support for a video preview additionally to the screenshots (ideally externally hosted, like for example YouTube).

• Ability to pause & resume downloads. Depending on region, Akamai likes to randomly switch to 70% packet loss mode, absolutely tanking the download speed, sometimes it even stops completely. Being able to resume downloads from a possibly different node, instead of having to completely abort and restart the download would be nice.

• If possible, do not count the launcher being open as game time. I "earned" like 600+ hours of Eternal game time on Steam, just from not closing the launcher when working with idStudio.

• Support for optional community feedback. And I'd really like to stress the "optional" part, especially if the feedback would be public facing, which comes with all sorts of potential problems, like moderation requirements, local laws regarding content publishing, etc.

• Quick search/filter for Mods > Library / Mods > Play Mods > Installed Mods / Creations > Creations / Creations > idStudio lists. Like, being able to simply start typing to filter the lists by name, ideally with some visual feedback as to what exactly has been typed, and how it matches the names of the list items, for example maybe a search box, and the matching parts in the list items being highlighted.

[atomic bay]

[...] If possible, do not count the launcher being open as game time. [...]
This would require splitting the launcher into a separate Steam app ID from Doom Eternal, with this kind of workflow:
-# - Forwarder.exe: An invisible program. Check whether -startgame is set. If so, open one of Doom Eternal's game executables and exit. Otherwise, tell Steam to open the launcher, and exit.
-# - Launcher.exe: Doom Eternal's launcher GUI. When launching the game, specify -startgame to make the "forwarder" open the game instead of the launcher - which will make Steam show a pop-up to confirm that you meant to open Doom Eternal with extra command-line options set.
-# - DOOMEternalx64vk.exe and DOOMSandBox64vk.exe: The game itself, like how they currently work.
-# Now, on Steam's end, "Doom Eternal" would be set up to run Forwarder.exe, and "Doom Eternal: Launcher" would be set up to run Launcher.exe. When you run "Doom Eternal", Steam will say that it's running for a few seconds, then stop and say that "Doom Eternal: Launcher" is running instead - displaying a confusing "Play" button instead of a "Stop" button in the Steam library even while the launcher is open, and making it harder to access the game's notes and Steam Input config in the Steam Overlay while the launcher is active.

-# (Alternatively, you can replace "give the launcher its own Steam app ID" with "install an always-running background process", so that the forwarder can tell the background process to start up the launcher. Now the forwarder can exit without any process-tree link from the forwarder to the launcher, so that Steam won't think that "Doom Eternal" is still running. And then still follow most of the other steps above - including being prompted by Steam when trying to launch the game from the launcher.)

It's technically possible, but...

[distant sage]

Unrelated but I’m stealing this image

[heady gyro]

Anyone know of the best way to extract textures from Idstudio? "Show in file explorer" tends to crash when I export each texture sequentially. Usually I have to export the roughness map first.

[oak geyser]

I don't think there's any other option in idStudio, at least I haven't stumbled over any. Personally if I need to extract a bunch of textures, I'll use EternalResourceExtractor (https://github.com/brunoanc/EternalResourceExtractor/releases/tag/v5.0.0), it can extract the files from the respective .wad7 files that ship with idStudio and the asset packs.

Feels like something for a feature request, a context menu option or something to extract all textures referenced by a decl at once.

[molten token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFA5w14G2fc

well people, I'm back to continue working on my mod haha ​​I was busy making that composition and that video (the guitar with the doom eternal sticker looks good) I think I already have some questions about my mod haha

back and forth in my closet you can see the ARC symbol that I pasted myself hahaha

[knotty parrot]

Is there a better way to get textures from a model? If I save them directly from idstudio they're decl files but when trying to apply textures to a custom model it needs to be tga.

Context, I'm experimenting before I actually fully dive in and make something, currently I'm just trying to kitbash the classic marine helmet onto the doom 2 marine body. I have all the tga textures except for the visor and inner helmet and can't seem to get them to work

@ancient shard Ok sure. Just message me if you need something

[ancient shard]

Allright man! :D.

[jaunty wadi]

I think it would be cool to make a hell level in the style of doom3 hell

[ancient shard]

That sounds like an intressting idea tbh!

My level is inspired by Foundry of Doom 2016.

And i might make some level on some Setinel Swamps

@modest obsidian - BUG - (or FEATURE REQUEST) Collision support for models imported in FBX format

Just like with the vertex paint problem with FBX files, I'm not sure if this here is a bug, or simply not supported/implemented, but models imported as FBX just doesn't seem to generate any collision, while for the very same models collision is generated just fine when imported as OBJ or LWO. I've tried playing with the collision setup config, but it's not doing anything, no matter what, meshes from FBX files just won't get any collision.

The attached files are one and the same model, the OBJ and LWO ones were generated from the FBX one, just drop them into a map and watch the FBX one not have any collision generated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLEocjx1t2c

[molten token]

How can I leave my mod and everything you need to "finish" it here? What do I need files or what should I leave? quickly please

[oak geyser]

You make it sound like you're about to enter another dimension, never to be seen again... anyways, if you want to share a mod's source files, then you'd need to include at least the modinfo.dev.json file and the base folder. The base/generated folder should be safe to exlude, at least as far as I understand it, everything in there should always be possible to be regenerated, and since it can be gigabytes in size, you may want to not include that. If you have any additional required source files (like audio, graphics, models, whatever) in non-standard locations, then you'd need to include those too.

[polar nexus]

did u make this helmet animation?

[molten token]

Has anyone sent all that here? Is it possible to send all that through this group simply by attaching it here?

[oak geyser]

I don't know what the size limit is here for attachments, if it's possibly tied to Discord Nitro, etc... if I wanted to share large files, I'd host them externally, either on my own servers, or something like google drive.

[molten token]

well, I only ask that you please keep this fight with the "mini" arachnotron, I like it a lot and I like that those arachnotron are there, the rest can do whatever they want

the sky may be DOOM Eternal edition

[ancient shard]

The animation are allready in the game, i just used the logic designer to play it.

THEY'RE SO CUTE.

HOLY SHIT I love small monsters. More mods should do smol monsters.

[pseudo igloo]

sorry for the n00b questions, but i'm still having trouble getting idStudio to launch, and the community-support channel seems to be kind of a crapshoot. i think my problems may have to do with path settings. would someone here mind posting their pathing settings they have for idStudio, the active mods and asset packs? these--

[molten token]

I'm not sure but it seems like it should be a single word, it says "id-assets" and there can't be a hyphen in between (I think so) the name should be something like "idassets" or I remember having a problem like that

[pseudo igloo]

tried it, same result. do you have all 3 savepaths (Mods, idStudio and Asset Packs) in the same folder?

[halcyon stratus]

They're all supposed to be installed on the same drive as Doom Eternal.

[pseudo igloo]

@halcyon stratus right, i have them all in the same drive as Doom Eternal. just not in the same directory, because of the warning it gives about filename length

[pseudo igloo]

i've changed the savepath settings to point to different locations. sometimes idStudio will launch a few times and then stop working, rinse and repeat the process

[molten token]

No, I think I have them all separated in different folders

[molten token]

I don't know if that answers your question, but I have what appears there saved like this on my PC haha

[empty bobcat]

You have latina windows lang?

[pseudo igloo]

nope, English

but i know what those directories are

[pseudo igloo]

appreciate it. still not working for me. another question, i'm assuming you launch idStudio from inside the Doom Eternal 'Creations' tab, correct? when you do, do you get a pop-up window like this?

[molten token]

Yes, and I'll confirm that

I press continue

I get that notice every time I open a mod, open in idstudio

[pseudo igloo]

hmm okay. so that has nothing to do with the problem then. i press continue and it still doesn't launch

[molten token]

mmm that seems to be another problem, in my case I click continue and the program starts but it takes a long time, about 5 minutes to start

[proper tangle]

Anybody know where can i change game save time title for 24h format and yyyy/mm/dd order? 🥹

oh really? interesting

maybe i need to wait longer then

@modest obsidian - BUG - Spline Editing Consistently Randomly Triggers Crashes

I don't have a 100% reliable way of reproducing it, the crashes appear rather randomly, but it is so consistent in its randomness (it never takes me more than 2-3 minutes to trigger a crash) that I feel confident in reporting it as being reproducible by simply creating and editing some splines, adding points, removing points, moving them, undo/redo... it will eventually crash.

@modest obsidian - BUG - Bezier Spline Control Points Reset When Moved

This one is easily explained too, when control points of a Bezier Spline are being moved, being it individually, or as a part of the whole spline being moved, the control points will reset - that's it... and for good measures there's a crash on top 🙂

Will we ever get proper documentation on how to do UI elements via .swf?

[arctic lava]

hi hi i was wondering if installing cosmetic mods will disable achievement progression and stuff on steam?

[halcyon stratus]

Opting into the beta and launching the game via the sandbox .exe will disable achievements by default.

If you want to play with mods but still be able to unlock achievements, use the mod manager for vanilla DE instead.

I wonder if anyone's looked into importing maps from Doom 2016. Definitely be a major undertaking but in theory should be possible.

[oak geyser]

I don't have the time right now to write up any docs or tutorials, but I'm happy to answer your SWF modding questions if I can. The biggest problem right now is IMHO the limited communication possibilities between the game and the UI, but there's a somewhat OKish "workaround" for at least one-directional game to modded UI SWF communication.

[proper tangle]

Alright thank you

[halcyon stratus]

I'm just hoping for some actual documentation on record. I'm not all that familiar with .swf but I can sorta guess my way around things I suppose.

Right now I'm looking at how to increase player friction because I hate the way Doomguy launches off staircases and slopes like a car. Player gravity maybe?

[fickle glade]

Does anybody know how I can make the grass textures here render with proper transparency?

This is in blender btw

[halcyon stratus]

I haven't made any developments on this :(.

[oak geyser]

In the material make sure that you have connected the texture's alpha channel, or the possibly existing separate opacity mask texture.

[oak geyser]

I see... well, I can't speak for them, but I wouldn't hold my breath, with the whole Adobe Flash not being available anymore thing (unless you already own it, or can get your hands on a used license), and there not really being any other good/working GUI based SWF authoring tools out there, I'm not sure how much sense it makes right now to invest time into writing up docs for this.

Mods: Hotfix 1.1.2 just went Live.
https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/release-notes/2025/02/13/update1-hotfix2

This hotfix version fixes further issues with the new Mod Packer 2.0.
Bug Fixes: 🐛
Mod Packer:
-Fixed a crash related to the asset regeneration thread.
-Fixed a crash related to regenerating havok assets.
-Fix packaging and application of packagemapspec overlays.

idStudio:
-Fixed a bug where idStudio would overwrite some mod metadata.

✏️ 🗒️ New Documentation for Mod Packer here: ❤️ https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/getting-started/mod-packer/index

Known Issues (idStudio: Hotfix 1.1.2)
Asset Import Crash

Crash may occur when importing a material asset over the original. The crash occurs when the user pastes an edited copy of the TGA into the mod directory, opting to replace the duplicate. This may result in a crash or a force-close. Likely affects all asset types.
*
Workaround*
Close idStudio (or at least close any editors/viewports that are referencing assets) before importing.

[oak geyser]

No update to the game's pc-mod-preview branch is correct? Like there was an update, but it was rolled back it seems 🤔

[modest obsidian]

Yes, that was rolled back. If you did update, you should get another update. 😛

Alright alright, I was a tiny bit worried there for a moment 🙂

Well well well, 350+ decls and no crash... looks like @indigo badge might have no excuse anymore 😛

That's what the texture looks like when it is connected

[fickle glade]

Oh so the transparency worked when I changed the material render method to dithered

[molten token]

I've been waiting to play profana urdak for quite some time

[indigo badge]

well it packages now but idk if i can get the custom sound effects, voice lines, and custom demon textures working

before the packager broke those were the only problems with it initially i think but i didnt run through and test everything with it

[molten token]

You could upload it and publish it anyway, but saying that you haven't tested if everything works correctly, or that it is a "prefinal" or unsafe version, I don't know, but I want to play it haha

[indigo badge]

well i dont want to upload it with those broken which is why i didnt upload it to begin with when the packager did work

i remember i couldnt get the sound effects and voice lines working before so i didnt bother with testing anything after failing on that so i waited for an update to hopefully fix all that (and then the packager itself broke lol)

[molten token]

mmm, if you manage to install the mod yourself, and play it from where you installed it (after packaging it to the portal) and it works 100%, have you tried that yet? I guess if it works for you, it will work well for everyone

[indigo badge]

but its up on nexus mods and still works with the legacy mod injector on current patch if you wanted to play it now

but im looking into porting it now

[molten token]

The truth ,is I don't know how to use nor have I ever used the injector mod

[indigo badge]

its really easy

just go in one of the modding servers and download the injector, extract the files to your games install directory, take whatever mod.zip you downloaded and put it in your "Mods" folder that the injector comes with and run the eternalmodinjector.bat file

make sure you uninject anything from the mod portal though if you use it and vice versa

[molten token]

that's all?

[indigo badge]

yea, and if you wanna uninject anything just clear the mods folder and rerun the injector.bat file

but if you use the injector you need to run the normal game .exe not launching from mods

[atomic bay]

just go in one of the modding servers and download the injector, [...]
Or GameBanana: https://gamebanana.com/tools/7475

-# [...] and run the eternalmodinjector.bat file
-# (Or open EternalModManager and click "Run mod injector", though that's more of a preference thing.)

make sure you uninject anything from the mod portal though if you use it and vice versa
Why? EternalModInjector and PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods can be used at the same time.

[molten token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyPuAgpF66I

Well, I guess if I do what's in this video I'll be fine

[atomic bay]

For what it's worth, there's a pinned text guide in this channel, too: #eternal-modding message

[indigo badge]

because files can conflict

i mean gameplay mods are probably fine but level mods definitely not

[atomic bay]

I don't think that that's an "EternalModInjector plus PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods" problem, but rather a "multiple (conflicting) mods in general" problem. 🤷

[indigo badge]

yea thats what i mean my bad, just be mindful of that

[molten token]

well, I must say that it is not clear to me what I should replace or delete or change to "return" to the mod portal after installing mod injector

[indigo badge]

any mod you use with the mod injector you move into the "Mods" folder in your game directory and you run the EternalModInjector.bat file to inject them into the game

when you want to uninject them you clear the "Mods" folder and run the EternalModInjector.bat file again to uninject them to restore the game

[molten token]

man I understand, whoever invented this is a genius

[indigo badge]

like i said gameplay mods are probably okay to carry over but i strongly do not recommend ever injecting more than a single level mod at a time, even if its on the mod portal

with unholy urdak especially something will break if you do that

[indigo badge]

@modest obsidian idstudio doesnt pick up on replaced voice lines when importing legacy mods - i can get them to show up if i move them into the "sfx" folder before importing (and it converts them from .opu to .wav like it does with the sound effects normally in the sfx folder) and they convert with the .WAV to .WEM converter with no errors, however it just plays the original voice lines ingame (unlike the sound effects which do get replaced)

i tried converting them to .wav externally in the original format of the .opus im starting with (48khz, mono, 32 bit - still doesnt work) but i noticed the idstudio .WAV to .WEM converter downsamples the voice lines to 16 bit maybe that has something to do with it? idk

[molten token]

In theory it shouldn't, since reducing from 32 to 16 bits would only be lowering the audio quality, I highly doubt that idstudio only supports 32 bits and not something less than that.

[indigo badge]

custom sound effects and such dont like to work unless you set them up in the exact format as the originals

[molten token]

Approximately how many files should you convert from .wav to .wem?

[indigo badge]

wdym?

[molten token]

Well, the truth is that I thought I could render them with 32-bit quality with some other program, but I see that none of them export .WEM, is this something exclusive to idsoftware or something

[indigo badge]

use wwise

Yooo guys I released new level go check it out, IT FUN

[halcyon stratus]

Played it. It gud.

For a while I was stuck looking around the map for an exit, didn't take stock of the one that had just opened.

UN first try, woo.

[candid sundial]

how do i mod doom eternal

i need help

[distant sage]

At least on Steam, the easiest way is the official Mod Portal.
Right click on Eternal, go to Properties, then go to the Betas tab. Switch the beta from None to the other option in there. This should update your game.

MS Store also has the Mod Portal but I’m unaware of the exact steps for that

You could also use the unofficial ModInjector, but I’m not knowledgeable on the steps for that

Also to my knowledge most stuff is being made for the Mod Portal anyways

[plush thicket]

In which wave ??

[molten token]

ahh I don't use audacity, I use reaper, and I saw all kinds of files to export but not a .WEM

[molten token]

Since he said that the quality drops from 32 bits to 16 and that could be the problem, I wanted to see if I could personally render the files in 32 bits to .WEM from reaper, pro tools, cubase or some audio DAW, but I think that the .wem files are something that I had not seen haha

[oak geyser]

It's a proprietary format specifically made for usage with Wwise game audio tooling, it's highly unlikely that you'll find support for that format it in any common audio app, don't waste your time searching for it 🙂

[gilded storm]

I’m so confused? I literally sent you the link on how to take a WAV and make it a WEM

@molten token

[molten token]

Yes, it is something that I have learned now and I am interested in investigating and finding out more about this matter haha

[molten token]

Yeah! Everything is fine, I just thought it wasn't something as complex as downloading "Wwise Launcher" that's why I asked about this above, but I see that it is something more complex

[halcyon stratus]

No, I mean I kept missing the exit portal. I just wasn't paying attention. :P

The map works flawlessly.

[plush thicket]

it should show a poi in when finished the final encounter, I think I miss it or something gonna look at it

[halcyon stratus]

Oh in that case the problem is I play with a custom HUD so the POI didn't appear. I'll take another look.

[plush thicket]

I just release new update today, fixing the meathook issue the meathook not working if demons stand behind the foliage, I make the tutorials show up only if you have it on in the settings, I added pickups too

[halcyon stratus]

Excellent, I'll give it another playthrough. Loved how well balanced it is. Relatively challenging but still fun and chill for me.

[stiff shale]

i have the unbalanced version of the enemy randomizer on, but for some reason it doesnt seem to be working? ive been hopping around missions thinking maybe it only starts at like mission 3 or something, but the encounters just arent getting randomized. only other mod i have right now is Mission Select Unlocked, what am i doing wrong here?

[heady gyro]

Does anyone know what's causing the finger bones to be misaligned on fbx exports?

[empty bobcat]

can you remind me how to export selection as fbx or other model file? It's combined brush and fbx in here:

[oak geyser]

I don't think you can export it as FBX, but as LWO and OBJ. World Edit > File > Export Wizard

[empty bobcat]

ah, there it is, thanks 🙂

[oak geyser]

you're welcome

[empty bobcat]

haha, works perfectly

I played RANCID and I really liked it! I think it is a good way to ensure that extending the combats within an arena does not feel repetitive (although I personally prefer more entire levels or the ascended 4.0 style) I think this is the way to go for the arenas

[polar nexus]

i tried ur level and i've seen u've been putting a lot of effort into it. how long did that take to create the whole thing?

[ancient shard]

Hi, I need help. I want to import a model but I can't find the "art" folder. I searched in many places and couldn't find anything.

[oak geyser]

What action triggered that error? Generally you could simply create that folder yourself, there's nothing special about it, it's just a regular folder.

[distant owl]

Ok I'll try

[plush thicket]

Damn That looks very good, but I recommend finish the blockout before start to the art pass, will be easier for you to get ideas when you start to do the art pass

[ancient shard]

Thanks man!

[ancient shard]

True! This is still the player spawn area tho!

I still need to make the arena blockout later.

[halcyon stratus]

Did you figure this out?

[distant owl]

Hello again, I managed to get the art and model folders working but the fbx model (from blender) is failing, it looks pink, it is rotated to the left and the height is very low.

[oak geyser]

Most (if not all) models need to be rotated 90° degrees in order to show up correctly. In Blender for example in edit mode rotate your model -90°, then in object mode rotate it +90°. Or in object mode rotate -90%, apply rotation (Object > Apply > Rotation), then rotate +90%. If the need for a 90° rotation doesn't apply to the model that you're editing, then you might have just forgotten to apply rotation in Blender.

The pink suggests a missing material. idStudio will not use the material of your model, but only the material's name, which it uses to look up a material defined on idStudio level. You'd use relative paths as material names as they'd appear in material2 in idStudio, for example art/kit/gore/bone_pile.

The size, I'm not sure, maybe you didn't apply scaling in Blender (Object > Apply > Scale), or it's something in the FBX export settings with regards to scaling, see https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/working-with-art/importing-content#export-settings-for-blender

[distant owl]

Thanks!! I'll try it and then I'll tell you.

[distant owl]

the scale works but not the rotation (I think)

[distant owl]

now works!!

One question, do you have to create the bones in Blender? Or do you add them and modify them in idStudio?

[oak geyser]

Sorry, had to leave for bit. Yes, armatures would be created in Blender. If you're trying to replace an existing character model, then it's probably already rigged, make sure that you export from the Animated Model editor via File > Export to FBX as Animated Model so that the skeleton is included, then you can just reuse that (or just learn from it how it's supposed to be set up)

[distant owl]

thanks

[oak geyser]

you're welcome

[forest escarp]

Hi there ! Don't know if it's the right place, but I have an issue with the "mod support" version of the game. Every time I tried it, my saves were gone. And I'm not just talking about save slots, my global save is refresh from the start.
it's not a big issue since my save come back every time I go back to the base version of the game. But it's a bit frustrating :/

[distant sage]

not entirely sure what you mean but saves do not transfer over to the mod portal version at all

hence why the saves are gone until you go back to base

[forest escarp]

Even the global one ? I mean by that my skins, my bindings, etc

[distant sage]

bindings don't transfer over, but the skins not transferring over is kinda weird

[atomic bay]

[...] I have an issue with the "mod support" version of the game. Every time I tried it, my saves were gone. [...]
When opted into the PC Mod Preview beta, the launcher's "Play DOOM Eternal" button and "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button have separate sets of save data. You can copy your "normal" save data to your "with mods" save data like so: https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio/page/copy-save-profiles-to-sandbox (I assume that it also works in reverse, but I haven't tested that.)

Even the global one ? I mean by that my skins, my bindings, etc
Yes. Client-side skins are unlocked via completing milestones, and the "with mods" save data starts without any milestones completed by default.
I'm not sure whether server-side skins (e.g. Events/Series XP rewards) are automatically unlocked, or require copying save data from the "without mods" save data too, but I think that it's the latter? 🤷

All other global/profile data (including settings) is also different "with mods" than "without mods" (see the link above).

[stiff shale]

is there a mod for using the sentinel hammer in the main campaign?

[forest escarp]

okay thanks for the responses, I'll try to copy my sava data later !

[stiff shale]

would it be best to use modinjector instead of the mod branch for stuff like the randomizer and starting the main campaign with the sentinel hammer?

[stiff shale]

still don't know what exactly im doing. is there a better guide for the current randomizer? i wanna know how to get it working

im really beginning to think i've done something wrong, considering the softlock at the very beginning of the campaign

ok i got it
turns out mission select unlocked messses it up somehow

[stiff shale]

DUDE

after some consideration, I probably love it more than I hate it

[oak geyser]

No worries, I'll be back tomorrow with even worse puns 🙂

[halcyon stratus]

A true pun-ishment.

[full jacinth]

Are there any guides on modifying existing maps in the campaign to change things like what weapons are in the world and when perks should be given to the player after defeating a boss?

[stiff shale]

a question
do eternalmodinjector and the official mod portal play nice together, or will they attempt murder if used at the same time

[atomic bay]

They play nice. 👍
If your PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods change the same files as your EternalModInjector mods, then the idStudio mods will take priority. Besides that, you can use both types of mods at the same time without problems.

[stiff shale]

nice one

[stiff shale]

oh, sweet!
i was honestly expecting them to be incompatible, that's great to know

[plush thicket]

New Update For RANCID is available version 1.2 go check it out

[halcyon stratus]

Just finished it, loved it just as much as I did the first time.

[plush thicket]

How's the performance ??

[full jacinth]

So I found that items the player recieves after objectives such as killing a boss, is given from a node inside the map file rather than a .decl file.
The question I have now is do I need to rebuild the map as well as save it for the changes to apply, and if so what type of build would I need to do as it is not quite clear in the build wizard for minor changes such as this? Also what quality setting should I set the build to in order to not degrade the map quality?
https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/getting-started/build-options-and-build-wizard#build-wizard

[halcyon stratus]

Performance is great, no complaints at all.

Sorry for taking so long to get back at you just to say that lol.

[modest obsidian]

save the map and load into to see if it triggers without a rebuild, if not then rebuild triggers. (I think) if you still have trouble reach out

[full jacinth]

Will do, I will do a test with giving myself a BFG on level complete and will report if it works. I am not going to run into issues where it would work in an engine environment without a rebuild, but not in a packaged build that a user/tester would use?

[plush thicket]

When you add any type volumes like triggers, hazards volumes, commit triggers....etc, you have to build the voulmes + triggers, for cliping build only collsions, but if you have a nav mesh group build collisions + navigation, for decls and stuff that not an volumes saving the level it enough, and reload checkpoint or reload the level.

sorry for decls only thing you need to do is save the decl and reload the level

I will say make sure to finish with geo and lights and then fully bake the level, cause if you want make any changes for the geo or the lights you have to rebake the lightmaps again which takes forever

sorry I know a yapped alot here, another important thing if you test the map after added geo or light just slow bake the level, for the final version you need to fully bake the level

[full jacinth]

For me I am only planning on changing weapon, secrets and perk locations. I would imagine those would need some kind of build to be visible. I wasnt quite sure about this logic node as it is a "target" rather than a "trigger".

[plush thicket]

in that case you only need to save change and save decls lol

[full jacinth]

Cool, thanks

[full jacinth]

Seems you were both right in the in the engine test. No rebuilds required for logic changes.
Thanks @plush thicket & @modest obsidian

What does official mod support mean, and how do I mod without breaking game

Basically, they released id Studio for Eternal, along with the mod portal. At least on Steam, go into the Betas tab in Properties and select the option under the lines mod_preview

So just put stuff in there, cool

Nothing from Nexus really works on the mod portal unless explicitly stated by the mod author

@modest obsidian - BUG REPORT - Spaces are not replaced in folder names
If you try to create a new decl in idStudio, and you name it something like "Hello World/Hey Planet", then you'll get a pop-up about spaces being replaced with underscores, but then it gets saved as "generated/decls/weapon/hello world/hey_planet.decl" - with an underscore in the file name, but a space in the folder name.
(If you try to create a decl that only has spaces in folder names, then you don't get a pop-up.)

Note: Make sure to preserve spaces up to and including the mod's root directory, of course.

-# Fortunately, fixing this will probably not make it impossible for mods to edit the "impactEffect://impacteffect/monkey bar/*.decl" and "impacteffect/wall climb/*.decl" decls, considering that we can currently edit the "modelAsset://art/kit/cultist/door/entrance_door_*/frosty large.decl" decls despite that name already being invalid.

If you're using the Mod Portal, just use the built-in installer. ModInjector (a large majority of the mods on Nexus) mods do not work with Mod Portal.
For where to put external Mod Portals mods or to put the stuff for the ModInjector, I'm not exactly your guy.

[slate ridge]

using modportal, i am really new to modding stuff. how use modinjector

sorry

i assume i subscribe to the mods in the bethesda official mods website

[distant sage]

for mod portal, yes

the ModInjector is a 3rd Party method made prior to the release of id Studio and the Mod Portal, I can find a link on how to actually install it

though, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure where the official source for that is

also, I'm not an Eternal player and barely even modded the game, so I'm not exactly the one who should be helping you here

Nice mod. Was the intention of the mod to make the hammer like it was when they were testing DLC2 as there are decl files for "hammer_toss"? Would be cool to see the re-enabling of other cut functionality like the "hammer_coating" decl in the "statusEffect" folder. Seemed like the initial perk they wanted to give the player with the hammer was a temporary buff to damage taken by enemies hit with the hammer.

[tight hinge]

kinda, was working on a replacement of the hammer for the level mod that I'm working on and had this idea of trying to change the hammer to do something else

then I found the unused throwing animation and went from there

not only that, I wanted to make it so it actually integrates better with the combat loop

[full jacinth]

Yeah it was definatly too OP and made the blood punch a bit redundant. Some of your changes are what I am doing in my mod but the animation stuff is a bit out of my league. Thinking of just nerfing it a lot to not make it stand out as much while keeping it as a slam.

[tight hinge]

Hardest part was removing the slam gravity pull of the hammer as it is hardcoded

[tight hinge]

what were you trying to do?

[ancient shard]

This is awesome tbh! Not only we are getting new maps,enemies but new toys to play with! :D.

[plush thicket]

Wip.

[pseudo igloo]

Big Taras Nabad energy

[full jacinth]

Severe damage nerf do it doesn't eclipse blood punch, reduce the animation rate slow rate so you cant just get free marauder kills, Rebalance the way it charges so it does not charge the same way blood punch does, which to be honest was going to be the same thing you did except because the hammer is much more of a super weapon I was thinking 6 weakpoint/headshot kills.
I wasnt thinking of adding back in the hammer coating mechanic as I was introducing enough damage multipliers as it is, but I am compensating it by increasing enemy HP. If it ends up making enemies feel too spongey I would see about re-adding the hammer coating or nerfing AI hp.

[polar nexus]

damn son. halfway there or what?

[tight hinge]

I see

I went in the exact opposite way, instead of making it take more time to charge it, I made it easier to charge and balanced around that

[halcyon stratus]

I love it when I'm little over halfway through Church of the holy v2 after a dozen or so attempts and my game decides it wants to crash.

Fuck you too, game.

[plush thicket]

I think it infinite randomizer

[halcyon stratus]

Nah it's fixed waves of enemies and it crashed halfway through. Very frustrating.

I'll give it another go later.

[ancient shard]

Looks so cool!

Anyway, i have a small question since am facing a little problem with the Encounter Manager, more with one enemy...the Demonic Trooper, everytime i use the encounter manager it just ignore him and dont spawn him. (But linking the trigger to the spawner works just fine for some reasson.) Am doing something wrong? or its just how ambient demons work?

[plush thicket]

Did you added the Demonic Trooper to your spawn parent ??

[ancient shard]

Yep, i did ^^.

I did like every other demon tho. But it allways Ignore the encounter for some reason.

What am trying to do is use an relay event and then use the Encounter Manger to activate the target relay to interact with the spawner. Weird? TOTALLY. XD

[plush thicket]

What your setup for your target/spawn, like did you link them to spawn parent ??

[ancient shard]

Isn't it linked with the spawn group tho?

It have the parent, and the parent is linked with the spawn group.

That the spawn group is also linked on the spawner.

[ancient shard]

Okay, doing this way is working tho.

[topaz fulcrum]

Hello. Does anyone have a list of music names?

I'm looking for the Initial Switch States for the Music Entity for Tag1 music. The only place I seem to be able to see them is by loading up the maps and checking the music entity directly, but we don't have the TAG map files.

[oak geyser]

Try https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/5-level-modding/page/idmusicentity#bkmrk-music-states-per-lev. Not sure if everything on there is correct, but the TAG 1 ones seem to be.

For TAG map stuff you can always extract the .entities files from the game resources, of course it's not the same as having the original map resources, but still, it reveals a lot of helpful information, you can even paste the contents in a .map file and load it in idStudio (it will be kinda garbled, lots of stuff missing, but still, better than nothing).

The base\sound\soundbanks\SoundbanksInfo.xml that comes with each mod can also be helpful when it comes to sounds/music.

[topaz fulcrum]

Thanks for the detailed answer! It's very helpful 🤝

[fickle glade]

So I've heard that there's a bug that prevents users from just adding an updated version of their mod and people have to upload a seperate version. Is that true?

[oblique dirge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/804157801206251530/902976943094399037/gif.gif

I hate my life

[oak geyser]

I'm not sure how exactly the problem manifests (or manifested), I've asked Saleem if it still exists, and he said he was able to upload a new release to his existing mod (https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/details/947dc540-66d6-437a-acbd-f9611fbcef91/RANCID/history), so I guess it generally works.

I've just now tried uploading a new mod with multiple releases at once, and that worked too (https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/details/a4b81de0-12c6-4b55-8a92-0a9449d031d7/Alternative_Dot_Crosshairs/history).

🤷

[ancient shard]

Fabulous Imp.

[oak geyser]

The Slayer's manager is very busy, it doesn't have time right now to deal with people's dreams of a reality in which FBX/Blender supports transporting data that would make Blender create "Specular BSDF" nodes instead of "Principled BSDF" ones on import!

[ancient shard]

I mean, ID Studio have a material editor right?

[ancient shard]

Also this kinda a """Custom Model""" (i just added this hair)

[oak geyser]

Not really, it has the material painter, which works on some models... I don't know (yet) what the rules are in order for it to work on a given model, and I don't remember what this tech actually is, I've read about it but it's been quite some time.

Anyways, I'm just making fun of flat glossy imp, don't worry about it 🙂 It took me some time to realize that actually instead of converting/inverting roughness/specular textures, the Specular BSDF node is a much easier way to get proper renders (it doesn't export to FBX properly though, which is sad).

[ancient shard]

Lmao, i mean it would work anyway tho, i might reuse the hair textures that allready have on the ID Studio.

Also no worries man! You can make fun of it, the idea is just make a meme and a variant of imp that have hair tho :D.

LOL

[oak geyser]

Average custom model import experience! Don't forget to apply transforms/scales/rotations, and if you want to put something on the imps head, then the mesh should be assigned to the Head vertex group.

[ancient shard]

The Vertex Group is allready applied to, that wasnt hard at all tho. Now am just experimenting more and i will probably get a better result tho!

[oak geyser]

good good 👍

[ancient shard]

Okay, i probably something stupid while modeling the hair. Thats why i think its bigger.

Hi, I'm new here and want to get into Eternal modding. Currently bumping into some issues opening projects to edit.

When trying to switch mods in idStudio, the editor closes but doesn't reopen with the switched mod. I tried verifying integrity of both studio & eternal, but no errors. I did change the directory to a copy of idSoftware folder in C:/ drive.

Has anyone else encountered this and if so, what's the workaround?

[placid bear]

A little help?

[halcyon stratus]

Superb work as always.

[dark pendant]

Is that the Serious Sam Timelock?

[ancient shard]

Hell yeah! Thats ported straight from Serious Sam Fusion SDK.

[dark pendant]

Nice, maybe over time we can make Serious Sam 5 before it comes out in 2055

[ancient shard]

"Seriously Eternal: Hell on Egypt"

[ancient shard]

Btw, am allready doing a best version of the first level, with better organization,grouping and better static meshes ported.

Am without the PC for this week tho, but when i come back i can experiment with making an Automap.

[dark pendant]

I took a long break from mapping but might come back

[ancient shard]

Oooo! That would be nice man! I would like to see and play your creations too!

[small ibex]

resetting the PC seemed to fix it.

[dark pendant]

I made the "Soul Processor" map, but it's only on Nexus because the launcher wouldn't let me upload. I'm assuming it's a file size problem

[ancient shard]

Oooo Nice man! I will take a look at your map!

[atomic bay]

@modest obsidian - FEATURE REQUEST - Fall back to English for custom text strings
By default, idStudio's string editor shows you English strings. I imagine that a lot of mods might only edit English strings, whether due to not considering other languages or due to the modder only knowing English. For non-English players, this results in one of two things:
- New strings displaying "#str_my_custom_string" instead of "Hello world!".
- Modified strings displaying the vanilla text instead of the custom text.
In both cases, falling back to the mod's English text is probably a better experience for players, even if their game isn't set to English.

In this example, "doom-mod-2" is the highest-priority active mod (just to show that it's not in alphabetical order), "doom-mod-1" is the medium-priority mod, and "doom-mod-3" is the lowest-priority mod.
When the game language is French, Doom Eternal will try to load these string files in order (highest-priority first - "strings/french.blang" being the vanilla game strings): strings/doom-mod-2/french.blang strings/doom-mod-1/french.blang strings/doom-mod-3/french.blang strings/french.blangI propose making it try to load these string files in order instead, automatically falling back to English if a French .blang file (or individual string!) doesn't exist: strings/doom-mod-2/french.blang strings/doom-mod-2/english.blang strings/doom-mod-1/french.blang strings/doom-mod-1/english.blang strings/doom-mod-3/french.blang strings/doom-mod-3/english.blang strings/french.blang(Note that high-priority mods' English strings should override low-priority mods' "current language" strings, and that there's no need to fall back to English for the vanilla game strings.)

[dark pendant]

Yeah it's a really tough one, was thinking I'd made an easier version and have it work with another map. I don't really have the time anymore though

[ancient shard]

I mean, the map itself looks and feels nice, and it even have an slayer gate to it!

does anyone know hwo to get infinite ammo?

modding via official portal doesnt work

well it does work probably but withotu odl saved files

[atomic bay]

does anyone know hwo to get infinite ammo?
Either run EternalModInjector once (even if you don't actually install any mods with it), or opt into the PC Mod Preview and click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in Doom Eternal's new launcher. Both options will give you access to hidden console commands/variables.
Then, once in-game, press the key above Tab, to the left of 1, below Escape (often the ~ key) to open the console, type g_infiniteAmmo 1 and press Enter to enable infinite ammunition, and press that key again to close the console.

Alternatively, find and enable the "Infinite Ammo" cheat code in-game.

modding via official portal doesnt work - well it does work probably but withotu odl saved files
When opted into the PC Mod Preview beta, the launcher's "Play DOOM Eternal" button and "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button have separate sets of save data. You can copy your "normal" save data to your "with mods" save data like so: https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio/page/copy-save-profiles-to-sandbox

[cloud lichen]

thx

[cloud lichen]

should i unzip ity into this folder? C:\Users\JAKUB\Documents\id Software\activemods\86591

[atomic bay]

EternalModInjector? No, you should extract that into your Doom Eternal installation.
DOOMSaveManager? You can extract that into any folder you'd like.
The "backup.zip" created by DOOMSaveManager? No, you have to extract that into the folder that that link specified (C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMSandBox\base\savegame.unencrypted\).

[cloud lichen]

i have such a folder but its in my game folder no user/saves folder

do i do anything with this folder or do i create a folder like you described?

i dont have DOOMsandbox folder in my saves

[atomic bay]

i have such a folder but its in my game folder no user/saves folder
The correct folder is "C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMSandBox\base\savegame.unencrypted\", not "[...]\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\doomSandBox\".

i dont have DOOMsandbox folder in my saves
In Doom Eternal's PC Mod Preview's launcher, click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods", start a new save slot, and close the game afterwards. Then you should have a "with mods" save data folder.

[cloud lichen]

wow thx it actually worked

[empty bobcat]

[dark pendant]

Anyone know how to make fans that can shut on and off via shootable such as those on UAC Atlantica? Is it simple?

[molten token]

That is an intressting question tho! I might try to do this in the future tho!

I tend to make some small tutorial for ID Studio on my YouTube channel tho.

I've been trying to add that to my map too

Saleem has been helping me on it, but it's still not finished

[jolly saffron]

Dunno where to ask this, so sorry. I’m planning on running a DnD campaign that’s just the story for DOOM 2016/Eternal, anyone know where I could find any files or maps of the 2016/Eternal levels?

[dark pendant]

Don't think you can get files for 2016, but you can download and edit the ones in eternal through idStudio

Not DLC maps though

[ancient shard]

Man Importing custom assests on ID Studio is kinda a pain in the ass tbh!

[oak geyser]

This is the UAC Atlantica setup, a bounce trigger to push the player, a shootable that disables/enables the bounce trigger, and some logic that handles rotation, particles and sounds.

[grizzled tiger]

Hello fellow modders!
I'm trying to figure out how to use the engine. I'm trying to play e1m1 (the campaign level) on the editor to learn how things work
But it looks like none of the triggers are working. It's the same case for all the campaign levels.
Is there something I'm not turning on to get the gameplay functioning?
Thanks in advance!!!

[lavish apex]

have you built the map yet?

[grizzled tiger]

nope!
would it be slow map build?

[lavish apex]

I would use build wizard, check the slowmap option and the navmesh options

[solar glen]

hi, how to add new post processing to the game with idstudio ?

[oak geyser]

Depends on what exactly you mean by that... but if you mean what I think you mean, then you'll have to be(come) a Shader Wizard, and look into the stuff in /renderprogs in the asset browser. You can't edit these files in idStudio AFAIU, you have to export them (right click > show in explorer) and edit them in an external editor.

[solar glen]

thank you, I know how to code shaders in HLSL. I want to turn the game into cel shading.

[oak geyser]

Yeah, then that is what you need to look into. @ Zandy probably has much better info on it, as he wrote the 1984 render mode mod. I'm not sure if you'd need any of the stuff that is seemingly not accessible from within idStudio, like there's for example a bunch of .inc files with shader code and I don't know what else. IIRC you can extract it all from the common.wad7 file that ships with idStudio, using EternalResourceExtractor (https://github.com/brunoanc/EternalResourceExtractor/releases/latest).

[grizzled tiger]

nope didnt work 😦
i see navmesh has generated
all the objectives appear and im able to walk around in the level but it looks like the AI are not spawning

[ancient shard]

You need to use "Rebuild Triggers and Collision".

[maiden mica]

Pretty cool to see how renderprogs evolved from idtech4 prime/idtech5 to idtech7's progs they seem more complex than ever lol

[fickle glade]

So I'm trying to make a scope mod for the heavy cannon, and I've got the necessary texture for it exported into paint.net, but I don't know what to do next

[ancient shard]

Maybe mess abit with Masks to put or modfy the texture?

Same boat here! The diference is that am importing New meshes for it 😭.

[fickle glade]

I was able to figure it out thx

[silver hedge]

is there a way to change the amount of ammo consumed by a weapon within id studio? instead of the ballista using 25 it uses 20? or bfg from 30 to 20?

[atomic bay]

Yes. In generated/decls/weapon/weapon/player/gauss_rifle.decl, change validAmmoClips > (at least) item[0] > ammoPerShot from 25 to 20.
-# (If you also want to affect the Arbalest weapon mod, also change item[1] and item[2], in the "gauss_rifle_ballista.decl" file in the same folder.)
For the BFG-9000, change (at least) item[2] in "bfg_base.decl" in the same folder.

(Note: It's called item[0] in the raw text files, but just "0" in idStudio.)

[silver hedge]

ive run through and changed all of them to what i originally intended, however when i pull it into a start of game save and give myself all the guns, the BFG still uses 30 ammo

[atomic bay]

Did you package the changed decls, and activate the mod? Do the Arbalest changes work? And are you using any other mods? (If so, try without other mods.)

[silver hedge]

DAM i guess i thought that launching the test would automatically apply the changes, didnt realize i had to repack to fix it

thanks!!!!

[silver hedge]

woohoo! i just finished a minor rebalance that makes the unmayker feel less punishing to use! now you get 200 argent cells, and the BFG uses 90 per shot, meaning you can actually use the unmaykr without denying yourself the panic BFG!

[proper shore]

so uh, vortex mod manager is the way to go for eternal?

[atomic bay]

If you want to use PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods, no. Just opt into the PC Mod Preview beta, click "Mods" at the top-left of Doom Eternal's new launcher, click "Browse" on the left, log into your Bethesda.net account, and download mods there.
If you want to use EternalModInjector mods, also no. Install EternalModInjector, download EternalModInjector mods as zip archives, place the unextracted zip archives into your "Mods" folder, open EternalModManager, and click "Run mod injector" to install them.

See #eternal-modding message for more details/instructions.

[proper shore]

thats better than vortex?

well idk which is better the mods on vortex or the id studio mods

[atomic bay]

idStudio mods are just a "different list" of mods compared to EternalModInjector mods. Neither is really "better" than the other (although idStudio mods can also add completely new maps to the game, which EternalModInjector can't, and idStudio is official). You can also use both at the same time if you want.

[maiden mica]

Has anyone gotten idStudio mods to run on the Steam Deck? The launcher used to start but now it crashes during startup
(Is this the right channel for this question)

[proper shore]

to clarify, idstudio is also better than what youd get on vortex?

[surreal hare]

yo i just got the doom eternal new beta mod launcher shi and it doesn't save or transfer my save files, is there a way to fix this?

[modest obsidian]

No 'fix' at the moment, saves are separate in mods

[atomic bay]

PC Mod Preview/idStudio is the new, official type of mods. EternalModInjector is the old (but still supported), unofficial type of mods. They're not "better" or "worse" than each other, they're just two different mod loaders - and you can use both types of mods at the same time if you want.
For PC Mod Preview/idStudio, Vortex Mod Manager is useless. For EternalModInjector, most people ignore Vortex Mod Manager and download mods manually through a web browser instead. See #eternal-modding message .

[atomic bay]

As @ halfp1nt said, when opted into the PC Mod Preview beta, the launcher's "Play DOOM Eternal" button and "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button have separate sets of save data. You can copy your "normal" save data to your "with mods" save data like so: https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio/page/copy-save-profiles-to-sandbox

[prisma vector]

spawn ai/fodder/imp

spawn ai/heavy/mancubus_fire

[solar glen]

is there some doc on how to make a cinematic with id studio ?

[solar glen]

or how to export characters and animations so I can make the cutscene in blender ?

[ancient shard]

This idk, but i think there is how you can export Characters and Animations from Blender to ID Studio.

[ancient shard]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/working-with-art/importing-content#animated-models

[oak geyser]

Docs on creating cinematics do not exist yet, but generally speaking it's relatively easy - of course like everything in life it comes with a bunch of tripping hazards, but that's a given. The very brief, basic gist of it that is lacking all the details, is that you create your animations in Blender, separately export every model with its animation, import them to idStudio, place a camera and a func/scene_director_animated entity for each of the models on the map, bring these entities into a director scene in the Scene Director, attach and arrange the animations from within there, and finally control the scene/cinematic playback using the Scene Director / Control node in the Logic Designer.

[ancient shard]

Its a little bit hard on the begning, but easy to catch after some attempts! And its pretty fun to learn ID Studio imo. :D.

Also, texture fixed! XD

[ashen lichen]

Are there any alternatives to meath00k in 2025? Or maybe an updated meath00k available anywhere? Neither github nor nexusmods have it up to date and I cant find anything related to it on eternal launcher either :/

[atomic bay]

The latest version should(?) be https://github.com/brongo/m3337ho0o0ok/releases/latest - but non-latest versions also still work fine.

If you're asking because of the pop-up caused by meath00k, then there's not much that you can do about it. Update 6.66 Rev 3 changed something that meath00k tries to scan for, so meath00k shows a pop-up about the scan failing. You probably don't use anything in meath00k that actually relies on that (which is part of the reason that meath00k hasn't been updated to fix it), so you can just ignore the pop-up and click "OK" to launch the game.

As for alternatives, if you're opted into the PC Mod Preview (see #eternal-modding message ), then if you click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in Doom Eternal's new launcher, you will have access to all console commands/variables even without meath00k.
-# (You won't get any commands that start with mh_, though, and meath00k's chrispy is called spawn when playing with official mods.)

[ashen lichen]

sadly, the latest version on meathook crashes the game when loading. Sometimes it randomly passes me into the actual main menu but most of the time the game just cant load with mh

Do the new launcher alternative commands also have stuff like notarget and god to test things out?

also, is there a way to import settings from the original eternal into the eternal with mods?

Sorry for the amount of questions here 😅

[atomic bay]

sadly, the latest version on meathook crashes the game when loading. [...]
Do you have anything in -/steamapps/common/DOOMEternal/overrides/? If so, meath00k will load that, and maybe that is what causes the crash; try renaming/deleting the "overrides" folder so that meath00k won't load it.
If not, I'm guessing that you have some EternalModInjector* mods that cause a crash together instead. Try uninstalling some/all EternalModInjector mods, just to test.
-# * meath00k is not compatible with PC Mod Preview's "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button. If "XINPUT1_3.dll" exists in -/steamapps/common/DOOMEternal/doomSandBox/, the game won't launch with mods.

Do the new launcher alternative commands also have stuff like notarget and god to test things out?
Yes. 👍

Something that I'm working on rn (it will still take a long time to finish tho because this guy has so many animations)

[maiden mica]

Woah nice work so far, honestly wished for the Hell Razor to be in Doom Eternal when it was first shown. Are 2016 animations to import into Eternal?

And glorykills and gore/dismemberment

[fast plaza]

How did you manage to import the anims and rig?

AFAIK 2016 used an older format which wasn't compatable with idtech 7, i tried it myself

[tight hinge]

exported them as .cast through revenant and then used a .cast blender plugin

[fast plaza]

I swear i tried that exact same thing. I guess the mod import tools didn't support the feature then.

great job man and best of luck!

[maiden mica]

Does 7 use like a md6.5 or something?

[tight hinge]

thanks, I'm running into some issues though, since I will have to adapt some eternal's soldier animations into the hell_razer

[maiden mica]

Did 2016 even have md6 yet

[fast plaza]

It's been a while so i don't remember specifics, but the main problem stemmed from the fact that each version of idtech drops compatability for older file formats. It was all exported from maya, but it was a different format of md6 i think

[maiden mica]

I did not know that, I thought idtech7 would continue to support legacy formats, I remember idtech4 still supported md3 I believe

[ancient shard]

Hell yeah! Our boy Hell Razer is coming back!

[tight hinge]

the idea that I had for him was that he would work like in 2016, but he would also be able to throw siphon grenades which can suck your health

[maiden mica]

hologram grenade is forgotten lol

[ancient shard]

That kinda spicy things up abit tbh! Also would fit Eternal since demons have more priority on the battlefield compared to 2016 imo.

And looking at this makes me question, if we could make an entire new enemy for the game tho!

[tight hinge]

you should definetly be able to

[ancient shard]

I might try doing some custom ai in the future too.

[maiden mica]

Yeah idstudio allows for entire new decls and assets, I actually saw a guy implementing the 2016 cyberdemon

I believe it was nayram, oh and the serious sam kamikaze dudes

[ancient shard]

Yup, its the same guy who was making Kamikaze from Serious Sam.

[ancient shard]

Yep! Its him.

[tight hinge]

if you try it, don't be like me and try to do one with 600+ animations 💀

[ancient shard]

💀 am allready killing my self porting and fixing Hatshepsut geo on idstudio.

[maiden mica]

Good thing md6anim allows for animation retargeting

[ancient shard]

I would say, static models are kinda annoying to port on ID Studio.

[ancient shard]

Atleast this is good news!

[halcyon stratus]

Whoa mama, that's cool.

[surreal hare]

i dont wanna sound dumb but whats that mod that doom eternal creatorsalways use in their vids to show new tech? like they'll have a tyrant w infinite ammo stand there and do nothing while they show cool shi? whats it called

[halcyon stratus]

I'm not a big fan of the Razer but cool to see.

[tight hinge]

They use console commands

[ancient shard]

Has allways, amazing work man! :D.

[tight hinge]

Is anyone here experienced with animation retargeting? I need some help retargeting some of the eternal's soldier animations to use my hellrazer skeleton

[ancient shard]

I can try to help you with that if you want tho.

[rotund ore]

This isn't an eternal mod but I'm working on a Minecraft mod pack that's styled around doom eternal

[ancient shard]

Looks neat!

Also the animations in this style are just so good!

[molten token]

HI, I have a question, my level already weighed like 2GB, and I added like a thousand paper clips hahahahaha. Will that make it weigh a lot more? And how much more? Because before it weighed almost 3GB without any paper clips 😦

[fickle glade]

Paper clips? What?

[ancient shard]

What even are paper clips?

Do you mean the "cips" brushes of your map?

[neat stone]

can i and how do i mod this doom eternal and if i can you attach a video

[distant sage]

I can't tell you how, but the MS Store version does have access to the Mod Portal.

[neat stone]

Ok thx I’ll try to find a way

[lavish apex]

Check out the "How do I opt-in to the Microsoft Store PC Mod Preview?" part of this

[molten token]

Those brown textured ones you see in one of the photos, those clips, so the slayer can slide and grip platforms better, does adding this increase the GB of space? or what?

[lavish apex]

I don't think it should noticeably change it
