I have another question, normally a bounce pad makes the slayer jump but UPWARDS to reach the destination, how can I make the slayer be pushed forward? Instead of up? = Do I need to edit or change any properties within the Bounce Pad trigger? Or is it another kind of trigger that is used to give the player a boost and reach a destination?

[oak geyser]

You can potentially get a lower arc using the Use Low Arc Instead Of High option on the bounce trigger, but a better way is IMHO to use flight time (enable the Use Flight Time option) instead of launch speed, this will give you a reliable low arc that is being shown in the editor accordingly.

[molten token]

man is perfect! thank you very much!

Is there a way to make it have a fixed path? That is, if I move left or right with the player, the path doesn't change?

[oak geyser]

Enable the Lock Player Movement option.

[molten token]

It's perfect!!! Thanks a lot man!

[stiff silo]

imagine a mod that makes the imps use flit and steel instead of throwing fire

[ivory gyro]

you could make a map or make the nether have doom enemeys

[winter bough]

Hello guys, I am not a modder myself, but I am just here to ask if there is an eternal mod for gold fx on weapons because I have the gold of every weapon and to have the fire share the scheme would be a nice polish.

I have checked over multiple times between sites I trust like nexus and gamebanana

[neat stone]

i installed the mods but they dont work like i installed a suit and it didnt work but i installed a gun skin and it worked amd none of the suits are working what do i do

Nvm I fixed it

[neat stone]

i have the doom eternal launcher and i have the ms store but how do i get nexusmods mods for it

[atomic bay]

See here: #eternal-modding message

[winter bough]

I appreciate you a lot

does anyone know a specific mod for like weapon fx, cause I wanna pair the gold skins and the energy weapons to have similar colors, kinda like a pale goldenrod

[winter bough]

never mind

after 40 pages of scrolling on nexus I found a mod

[river geyser]

Is there a mod that enables all console commands? I'd like to record demos of gameplay instead of recording video.

[atomic bay]

Is there a mod that enables all console commands? [...]
You have three options:
- Run EternalModInjector once (even if you don't actually install any mods with it). This will unhide all hidden console commands/variables.
- Install meath00k (https://github.com/brongo/m3337ho0o0ok/releases/latest). This will unhide all hidden console commands/variables, and also add chrispy (the same as PC Mod Preview's spawn), noclip, noTarget, and anything starting with mh_.
- Opt into the PC Mod Preview and click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in Doom Eternal's new launcher. This will give you access to hidden console commands/variables, plus many commands/variables that were completely removed from the "normal" version of the game (including noclip, noTarget, spawn (the same as meath00k's chrispy), and more).

[...] I'd like to record demos of gameplay instead of recording video.
There are still a few remnants/references to demos, but I don't think that they actually work. 🤷

[distant sage]

Not an eternal person but I do sorta doubt it as demos rely on the RNG always being the same.

[atomic bay]

It should be easy to save/load the random seed for that. But 90's-Doom-style demos also rely on a fixed timestep, while Doom Eternal's game logic runs at a variable tick rate by default.
-# (It would be possible to lock the tick rate for demos, and/or forgo "recording inputs" and instead "record every object's position/animation/creation/destruction" to play back an "animation" instead of game logic, which could also semi-solve the issue of "what if game updates break old demos?" - but I still just don't feel like demo functionality would be maintained when it's not used any more. Unless id Software uses it a lot internally for testing? 🤷)

[distant sage]

I completely overlooked seeding tbh

[molten token]

I'm feeling very envious of those who were taken to the id software studio to play the new "doom the dark ages" right now

[river geyser]

Thanks, I hoped something like this would work:

• gc_autoRecordDemos - When 1, automatically records demos for each match in PRODUCTION (packaged) builds. When 2, automatically records demos for each match in all builds.

But, perhaps that's only for multi-player.

Some other commands that point at demo recording being possible (unless I'm reading too much into it):

• demo_recording_globaldisable - Flat-out disable demo recording from being initiated (won't stop in-progress demos.
• demo_timeScale - Scales the demo speed based on this value.
• cam_demoPlaybackHackRotateMultiplier - In free cam mode in demos, multiplies input this much.
• com_demoPlaybackRate - Rate to playback demos, 0 for realtime.
• com_demoPlaybackScale - Scales playback time of demos.
• com_demoStats - Print stats on demo compression rates.
• demo_ignoreBuildCheck - Normally demos will only play for the appropriate build. This ignores that check. WARNING: Enabling this can result in strange behaviors and
  crashes.

[polar nexus]

it's gonna be similar to snapmap in doom (2016) when mod support is fully released in eternal, right?

[atomic bay]

By "similar to SnapMap", do you mean only having mostly-grid-based* level layouts composed of premade setpieces snapped together, optionally with some game logic or scenebuilding within? If so, no. idStudio allows you to create completely custom world geometry from scratch; with enough time and dedication, one can make something to the extent of the main Campaign or The Ancient Gods' maps. Additionally, other types of game content can be altered too; "behavioural" settings (decls), models, textures, animations, sounds, GUIs, and more can all be changed by mods.

-# * (There are some SnapMap maps that are made entirely from custom scenebuilding within a large room module, hence "mostly" - though demons usually won't know how to navigate these maps.)

[ancient shard]

Its a very powerful tool! And with updates and fixes. I hope it adds and fixes features to make even more things possible tho! :).

[halcyon stratus]

In that it's gonna be easier for the end user to create mods? Not at all. This is a full-on SDK, as in the tools used by ID to make Eternal, not a curated editing tool like Snapmap.

[prisma vector]

Hello, I have created a model in blender and dropped the fbx into base/art/models in IDstudio. My scale and rotation are fine but I am missing my material/textures, any ideas?

[oak geyser]

What exactly do you mean by "missing"? Generally idStudio will not actually import any materials/textures from your models, it will just use/assign the material names found in the file, and map them to idStudio based material decls that are matching the name, which you'll have to create yourself. In Blender you would use relative paths as material names as they appear in the material2 folder in idStudio, for example art/tile/common/blockout/brown_grid.

[prisma vector]

oh, so i create the material in id first basically? then copy the rel path on that decl to the mat name in blender?

[oak geyser]

You don't necessarily have to create it first, it can be done afterwards too, but yeah, basically like that.

[prisma vector]

thanks

[molten token]

This would be a perfect mod replacement for the rocket launcher ammo.

Check the docs, read through the Getting Started and Worldbuilding in id Tech sections, and then try the tutorials https://idstudio.idsoftware.com

[orchid flicker]

Will using mods or being on the mod test beta effect achievements in game and on steam?

Mods like different skins and such, nothing that changes gameplay

[atomic bay]

If you're opted into the PC Mod Preview beta, then Doom Eternal's new launcher's "Play DOOM Eternal" button allows you to earn Steam achievements, while the "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button doesn't. (You can still earn in-game milestones, though.)
The two buttons have separate sets of save data (see https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio/page/copy-save-profiles-to-sandbox), so you can't just click "Play DOOM Eternal" to get any missing Steam achievements that you would have obtained with mods.

However, the old, unofficial EternalModInjector can be used with both the "Play DOOM Eternal" button and the "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button, so if you only use EternalModInjector mods, you can still earn Steam achievements.

Thoughts on the master campaign mod? Kaiser's always felt too excessive for me, even by DE's standards

[oak geyser]

I think that's exactly what it wanted to be, it's for people that craved more. Specifically more pain. I'm a big fan of it, to me personally it was/is one the best mods out there, after the game became kinda "too easy" after so many hours, that mod made me hate the game again with a passion, so that was great 🙂

[molten token]

Yes, I've been replaying the game and gathering ideas, I'm dying just with one level lol I find the work done by the modders and creators of the game impressive, Doom has so many details that it's mind-blowing

[echo root]

I got a question. Are there any attempts of Doom 2016 enemies being ported over to Eternal?

[real chasm]

Not sure if it's still being worked on but I remember someone was trying to import the hell razer into Eternal.

[echo root]

I see

[tight hinge]

yo, I'm currently trying the Hellrazer

[real chasm]

speak of the revenant

[tight hinge]

it should be possible to do it, but I've run into a couple issues right now

I wanted to give him custom gore, but I haven't been able to successfully port the mesh with the gore chunks

[echo root]

T0y0ta is going places (sorry was that terrible?🥴)

[tight hinge]

I'm also having some issues making the glory kills work (the skeleton of the Hellrazer doesn't match the one from the soldier)

so I have two options, retarget the Hellrazer skeleton to use Eternal's soldier animations, or try to use the glory kill animations from 2016

I've been trying 2016's ones, but the Slayer's hands camera isn't working properly

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1353479802513788981/1358876398386810991/Untitled.mp4?ex=68034784&is=6801f604&hm=9409c5c7f81a0ddc9d39aab9dd675da19277f2528ba166a48d6b0b724f5372a8&

I managed to make these work so far

[echo root]

Amazing!

[tight hinge]

Another issue that isn't fixable is ragdoll, Doom Eternal uses Havok which is licensed, so we can't make custom ragdolls yet

[real chasm]

Seriously good work so far though. I missed the hell razer

[tight hinge]

thanks, I really want to finish him, but I'm running into a lot of brick walls

[tranquil estuary]

Is it possible to make a mod for the armor and replace the model?

[grizzled tiger]

are there any documentation or videos to learn how to use the cinematics tool?
also, awesome work lol

[ancient shard]

The problem with this, is that its giving the "Rangeoutindex" problem, it probably has to do with weight of the vertices. But i don't think it will be easily fixable :/.

[ancient shard]

Also this! Id Studio has a feature "Load Ragdoll" but it doens't seem to work yet...

[oak geyser]

None that I'm aware of, I haven't really stumbled over any tutorials, and the official docs have no info on it yet, they're still work in progress, just like idStudio itself.

[grizzled tiger]

Ah did you figure it out yourself then? That's cool!!

[oak geyser]

Yeah, it's not really complicated, after all it's just a timeline with tracks for the animated objects, there's keyframes, and yeah... I'm oversimplifying a little bit of course, but that's really pretty much it. The hard part is creating the custom animations (unless you're an experienced animator of course - which I am not).

[halcyon stratus]

I'm waiting on the day someone ports 2016's Foundry to Eternal but this is the next best thing.

I'm not a huge fan of the Razer or anything but this is exciting.

[tight hinge]

I don't know how feasible that would be, since 2016 has a completely different format and unit scale from Eternal

[halcyon stratus]

Don't they use megatextures too? I could be mistaken.

But yeah it's a shame. I guess one could approximate the look with custom geo and maybe import some of 2016's assets to match?

[tight hinge]

I remember someone was trying to do something with Vega Core, but I haven't seen much about it recently

[ancient shard]

I mean, static meshes are more duable tho. So it is possible to port Foundry assets on Doom Eternal.

We do a little bit of traversal

[halcyon stratus]

Somehow reminds me of the original concept for DHB where it was to take place in that big spacecraft you see in the skybox in CB.

It was to have outer space low gravity sections IIRC. Good stuff.

[tight hinge]

That's where I got inspiration from

you can see the spacecraft in the skybox

[halcyon stratus]

Oh I was right then. Good stuff.

[tight hinge]

yeah, it's meant to be a prequel level, maybe a full "dlc" if I'm sane enough to pull that off

Why does she remind me so much of Olivia Pierce?

I noticed that Olivia Pierce always had that same right hand raised, as if holding that same Maykr artifact. I'm just saying it's a bit suspicious since she never had anything in her hand.

[rugged prism]

Hello, I had a few questions about the mod loader (Steam)

I've been playing a mod that lets you cycle through campaign and battle mode maps in a horde mode style, all accessible via a hub in cultist base

Played it a lot and have raked up a good amount of extra lives, I'm kinda worried if I disable the mod or load in some other mod I'd lose my savefile completely

Looking for guidance how to manage saves in the modded env

[atomic bay]

If you don't try to load the same save slot without the mod, the save slot will remain for when you use the mod again.
If you accidentally load it without the mod, then the game might crash (e.g. if it tries to access a non-existent checkpoint or map), which will leave the save slot intact, or map logic might be broken, which will also leave the save slot intact unless you trigger a checkpoint in-game (which may or may not break something).

Either way, you can manually back up save data if you'd like, too.
If you've opted into the PC Mod Preview and you click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in Doom Eternal's new launcher to play with mods, then you can manually back up files from/copy files into "C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMSandBox\base\savegame.unencrypted\".
Otherwise (not opted into PC Mod Preview, or clicking "Play DOOM Eternal" on the launcher's home screen), you can use DOOMSaveManager (https://github.com/GoobyCorp/DOOMSaveManager/releases/latest) to export/import backups.

[rugged prism]

An extremely insightful answer, thanks a ton man cleared a lot of things for me

Cheers choomba 🍻

[rugged prism]

Anyway to level up in the sandbox? Or is it hard reset/lock to 1 and default profile customisation only in that?

[fickle glade]

[topaz fulcrum]

I have a question about trigger/teleport_fade
Can they be enabled during gameplay? I know they can be removed but I would like to enable some for 1 fight and then remove them after.

[oak geyser]

There's many different ways this could be done... for example when you check Trigger First, the trigger will only trigger after itself has been triggered at least once first 🙂

[topaz fulcrum]

Thank you! This works perfectly.

[topaz fulcrum]

Question about Target/Relay

They have a Count value so it can be triggered a number of times before it fires, however this value doesn't seem to get saved at checkpoints.

I set the When to save on the relay to checkpoint but it doesn't save the count value.

The scenario I have is there are a number of items to be found throughout the level and I am counting them with a relay. But when I reload a checkpoint the count is back at 0.

[earnest condor]

hey I just entered the doom mod platform, and this guy blacklight9699 ported the doomguys from quake champions, they look amazing. Does anybody know if you can send a message through the mod page? I want to ask them if they can also port the Classic Doomguy from Quake Champions

[oak geyser]

I have no idea whether the current count is even meant to be saved in the first place, but I couldn't find any target/relay entity in the vanilla maps that is set to save data - which may or may not be a clue. Depending on what exactly you're picking up, an inventory check could possibly be a viable alternative.

[prisma vector]

Has anyone UN the kaiser campaign

[molten token]

Could it be that the "activate level" objective solves your problem?

the namekkawalsky problem I mean (the autocorrect) haha

[oak geyser]

Maybe, maybe not, will depend on the specifics of the underlying problem.

[molten token]

Perhaps you should give us more details. From what I understand, you want to do something similar to Saleem? That is, things are activated during the encounter, and at the end of Saleem, a save checkpoint is triggered, but when you press "Load Checkpoint," the changed items return to normal? As far as I know, this could be fixed with an "Activate Level Objective" option.

[topaz fulcrum]

I am going to try level activates, I think that could work.

I have multiple paths players can take branching off from a hub, down each path players collect batteries, returning to a hub to insert them. Each battery inserted hits a relay with a count to track how many you have inserted. This count gets lost on reload so it thinks you have 0 batteries inserted when you in fact do.

I think each time players plug one in, if it hits a change layer with a level activate that then fires the relay on reload, that might work.

[hidden quest]

Hey all, first time modding, trying to make an idStudio mod to use PS5 controller icons instead of XBox controller icons. I found the folder for all the controller icons. Is my best bet to just copy the PS5 icons over the XBox ones, like a straight replace of the files but keep the names of the XBox ones the same? I think I could also try to find all the places that the game references using the icons and change them from the paths to the XBox icon files to the path to the PlayStation icons? First way seems way easier, is there any downside to doing it that way?

[plush thicket]

Track these stuff with stats

Here an example, I made this for my map RANCID, It track how many secret encounters has been completed

[topaz fulcrum]

I was able to get my scenario working using level activates, each battery inserted into the socket enables a layer change and when reloading a checkpoint they fire off to increase the correct counts 🎉

I need to do more testing but I am confident this should be good! (famous last words!)

Thank you @oak geyser | @molten token | @plush thicket for the help!

[pearl junco]

Find the material2 decls for the xbox icons and change the image files they reference to the playstation icons

but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a cvar that toggled this

[hidden quest]

@pearl junco Thanks for the heads up, that was what I went with. Unpacked the Xbox Controller .decl files and then edited them to change the asset they pointed to. The PS5 controller icons were right there next to them so it wasn't that hard. A lot of the icons for the PS5 controller use the PS4 icon assets, only ones that are different are the R1/L1/R2/L2 icons and start/select. Only things this didn't work for were the key bindings menu and the prompt to skip cutscenes. I didn't even bother to find the ones for key bindings menu, but I did spend some time trying to get the one for skipping cutscenes. I think I found the .decl file for it, or at least one that is invovled, but couldn't nail down exactly which one controlled which icon was used for it. I published the mod to the idStudio portal this morning.

Let me know if you find a cvar, there is definitely a setting somewhere that tells it which set of icons to use, there are 5 sets already in the games files, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Stadia, and Switch and somewhere it says which to use, would love to find it and can't think of why they didn't put the option to change the icons in the game, it has about a million other settings in the menu

[livid sky]

Is it normal to get a notification saying that the mod may not work everytime you launch doom eternal with the meath00k mod?

[halcyon stratus]

@plush thicket Just put out a SSG only NM run of Dawn, beat it blind. Loved the aesthetics.

It's now on #videos .

[plush thicket]

nice

[atomic bay]

Yes. 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.

invulnerability didn't exist in eternal unlike 2016 but u bring it back. good stuff

which difficulty are ya'll choosing when doom the dark ages releases? i'm choosing nightmare

[molten token]

i prefer "super gorgeous more where it’s really open
"

[tight hinge]

might be a studio bug, I've had the same issue

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah I guess they didn't really have much use for invisibility in the base campaign since there's no hitscan and projectiles fire in bursts in random directions already.

The total absence of invulnerability in Eternal is weird though. Also I'm not a fan of how both Overdrive, Onslaught and Berserk have the same pickup icon. The powerups definitely looked better in 2016.

[tight hinge]

2016 powerups were definetly better for sure

[polar nexus]

what about haste in eternal? the ammo is unlimited

feels satisfying to use full auto shotgun during haste

[tight hinge]

even without the unlimited ammo, I still think weapon switching is smoother than eternal's with it

[hollow root]

God I hope one day there's a Russian Overkill for doom eternal

[oak geyser]

Sound playback is just pretty broken currently, there doesn't really seem to be anything that can be done about it on the user end. For me it sometimes help to trigger playback from the sound event selector of an animated model event, but that also regularly just stops working, if it's working at all in the first place. Gotta live with it until a fix is shipped.

[halcyon stratus]

Oh yeah nah functionally Overdrive is better. I just wish powerups didn't last so little.

That and like I said I'm not sure why invulnerability is flatout missing in Eternal.

[polar nexus]

ngl "overdrive" sounds better than "haste"

[halcyon stratus]

It sounds more doomy.

[polar nexus]

r u saying that overdrive in 2016 is better?

[halcyon stratus]

It was called Haste in 2016.

[polar nexus]

same thing but not 100%

[violet thicket]

has anyone gotten doom eternal mod tools to work on linux? having some issues

the level i download says to start a new campaign game to load the level, i do that, and it just loads the regular level 1 instead

[molten token]

Instead, try another mod that asks for the same thing, or any mod that instead of asking to start a campaign level to play it, I can use one that asks to write "devmap" in the game console. Perhaps the problem could be with the mod in particular, or with the way to start it

This way we could know if the problem is directly with the mod or if you have problems with the mods that ask you to start a campaign level to be able to play them.

[violet thicket]

It turned out I just didn't have the mod active @molten token Does modded doom eternal crash 100% of the time when you alt tab on windows too? Seems like its really prone to crashing

[molten token]

I never have Doom Eternal crash (even though I'm on Windows) only when I've installed mods that aren't compatible with others it crashes but when I remove one of the 2 the problem ends

[brazen jacinth]

How do I spawn the player maxxed out? mastered weapons, praetor suit, sentinel crystals, runes, all that stuff

[atomic bay]

Change the worldspawn's devInvLoadout to "devinvloadout/dlc/e5m3_hell". This will give you all weapons, upgrades, Runes, Support Runes, and the Sentinel Hammer when loading the map.
If you want the player to start with the Crucible instead of the Sentinel Hammer, then either copy or edit "devinvloadout/dlc/e5m2_earth", and change the "weapon/player/hammer" item in it to "weapon/player/crucible".

[brazen jacinth]

Thanks! Now I just need to get some respawning maykr drones lmao

[brazen jacinth]

why is idstudio not uploading my map with the rest of the mod? I've tried uploading it straight from the launcher, then from the packaging screen in idstudio, and it never includes the map, even when I double check that I have the map selected in the packaging screen

[oak geyser]

Is that all of the files (also check your mod's dvdpc and virtualtextures folder)? If so, it's missing files, and the .tmp file could indicate a possible compilation failure.

[brazen jacinth]

pretty sure that's everything, dvdpc and virtualtextures don't seem to be missing much since there's plenty of files in there. where do I find the .tmp?

[oak geyser]

Well, your screenshot only shows 4 files, so that's what I'm referring to. AFAICT this is from when you look at the contents of an uploaded release, maybe there's more, but I don't know, that's why I'm asking. Generally the files that you're uploading do stem from your mod's source folder, you can see the exact location of what you're uploading when you create a release - see the attached screenshot, this is the files that are included by default when creating a new release for a single map.

[brazen jacinth]

huh, yeah the screenshot is the only files that were uploaded to the release after I packaged it. now I'm even more confused lmao

[oak geyser]

Maybe you can show what files exactly exist in your mod's source folder (excluding the base folder)? In case all the necessary files are present and valid, I'd say delete the existing release, and create a new one, there's always the possibility that uploading or server-side processing failed.

[brazen jacinth]

the source folder (im assuming this is it) has these folders and thats all, should there be more?

[oak geyser]

That's it yes. In the root of the mod folder there shouldn't be more, but the files in the dvdpc/virtualtextures (sub)folders matter.

[brazen jacinth]

thats crazy vega

[oak geyser]

vega is pretty trigger happy

[brazen jacinth]

ok well here's everything in the dvdpc and virtualtextures folder. the game folder in dvdpc doesn't have anything except the shell folder, and the virtualtextures folder only has a maps folder (would be screenshots of the entire file path but you can thank vega for that)

[oak geyser]

Yeah, there's clearly something broken, the temp files, the zero byte stream db file, that's not good. Very much looks to me like something went wrong packaging/compiling the map. For starters, delete the dvdpc folder, and then package the map/mod again.

[brazen jacinth]

alright, i'll let you know how that goes lmao

[brazen jacinth]

ok it finally worked, had to do it a few times cus it kep excluding things, but eventually it uploaded everything, thanks a lot

[fickle glade]

Does anybody know how I can pose this dead guy?

I know there's several posed corpses in the base game and dlc

[halcyon stratus]

I tried giving that 100 Barons map a hitless attempt, and after 50 or so goes at it I decided I'd rather pull my hair out. The amount of times I've gotten hit while yeethooking is stupid. I'm going Mach 7 and still getting hit how?

I know it's a meme map but it really got me to think about the way enemies are balanced in this game. It should be easier by design because there's no hitscan, but they overdid enemy reaction times and projectile speed to such an insane amount they might as well be.

[oak geyser]

Haven't tried it yet, but poses seem to be 1 frame animations basically, and it doesn't seem like there's functionality in idStudio that would allow creating them (at least I couldn't find anything), so you'd most likely have to create the poses externally with for example blender.

[brazen jacinth]

lmao the longest i can go without getting hit is like 40 seconds at best, i didn't even think going hitless would be something anyone would consider lol

[fickle glade]

Fuuuuuuck really?

[slim scaffold]

yeah I've seen those as well

Just a single frame md6anim

[oak geyser]

I would love to stand corrected, being able to pose things in idStudio would be really nice, but it kinda looks like external is the way to go, yeah. To be fair, it is - relatively speaking - pretty easy, export, pose, import, place, done. After giving it a try, I gotta say what I find most annoying is that it's seemingly not possible to preview the poses in the world view, that's really sad 😭

[fickle glade]

Sigh
Alright no posed corpses in my map then

I know it's easy but I shouldn't have to do that

Hopefully shit like this gets added as a feature

[tight hinge]

yeah it sucks, I had to make 1 frame animation for my imp waking up secret and can't preview it too

[solar gull]

Best Friends till death

[oak geyser]

I guess whatever pipeline id has from Maya (I think I read that's what they use at id?), it just all translates over automatically, so they don't need any such tooling inside of idStudio. Of course we don't need it either, but yeah, having it would be cool.

👆 That was @fickle glade

lol, no, actually it was @tight hinge ... oh boy 🙂

[fickle glade]

I can give it a shot though

See what happens

[oak geyser]

Pro tip, export the relevant geometry/brushes from your map (select the objects to export, then World Edit > File > Export Wizard > Obj Exporter) so that you can align/position the models properly. If you export with World Coordinates, then the exported geo will be positioned at the very same coordinates that is has on your map. If you export without it, then it's going to be 0,0,0 aligned.

[molten token]

I'm looking forward to your game mods and levels man

[fickle glade]

Buddies

[misty star]

can someone help me out? for the pc mod manager my weapon mods and my slayer skin mods arent active but my other mods are like air control and whatnot

oop nvm

[drifting sky]

Hey there, I was wondering if someone could had a solution to a problem I’m having with the official eternal mod loader. I’m not sure if this problem is my own fault or if something happened to the official mod loader and I wasn’t aware of it but Basically I was able to play doom eternal with mods through the mod loader until one day it randomly would be stuck loading and never run the launcher and I haven’t been able to use it sense. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, I tried uninstalling all the mods I had in case they were the problem, I’ve tried looking in the files to see if I might be missing something but I’m not sure where to look in the first place. I can still play doom eternal Like usual but this just happened out of nowhere. If anyone has had a similar issue or would know how to fix the issue I’d greatly appreciate it.

[haughty mica]

if it's the problem I think, try going to the Users\Windows\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM Eternal directory and delete the "user" folder

backup the user folder in case it still won't work

[drifting sky]

Okay I’ll give it a try

Thank you

[drifting sky]

Thank you thank you thank you it worked

[tidal moon]

I highly recommend the Umbral Excavation custom map

[fickle glade]

Once Dark Ages gets its full release I hope they devote more resources to developing the mod portal

[tight hinge]

Same, lots of shit we still can't do yet

I can't finish my Hellrazer until idStudio supports Havok ragdoll

[polar nexus]

one question, is the full release of mod support likely to be released when doom the dark ages arrives?

[tight hinge]

nah

[rocky swallow]

I wish they had an api or websocket that shipped with it...got some stuff and things I'd like to do from external events

[oak geyser]

like... what exactly?

[rocky swallow]

I’ve got an integration I did with 7DTD that broadcasts kill events over WS and then built out an XP/leveling/tracking system for a streamer buddy. Conversely, we were able to hook into events to spawn different types of monsters…which can be tied to bits, subs, etc.

TLDR-spawn things from external triggers, and capture kill/death data

[oak geyser]

Vega... don't do me like that, I though we were bro's

it's just a link to this very discord channel 😭

ok... so, no github link, got it

[rocky swallow]

Somebody said dyno was busted so no links lol…there’s a GitHub with websocket server!?

[oak geyser]

god fn damit 😄

no spamming... I can't... I'm dead... I'm outta here... good night everybody

[oak geyser]

So, maybe Vega has calmed its balls by now... I'm not going to post any links or whatever, I'll go full pantomime charade, like it's still 1996 when that was funny and all.

The Eternal LiveSplit repo maybe give some clues about catching events. Certainly AI death are events in the game, so I'm sure it's possible to catch them, I just don't know how exactly 😄 It would be nice to have support for stuff like that in an official capacity, so maybe you want to make it a feature request!

At this point I would've posted another link, but then Vega would probably snipe me again like it's the 1944 battle of Normandy 😬

[rocky swallow]

thanks mane. Just forked it and will poke around when I'm not about to go wreak some havoc in TDA!!

[midnight hedge]

I have a question, is it possible to make the gladiator into a bossles varient? I am trying to make a variant that behaves like the baron.

[vernal dagger]

started working on this level a couple days ago, was all sunshine and rainbows until suddenly my lightmap stopped updating after bake. deleted all of my lights and baked it again and there's still leftover indirect lighting. even tried deleting the lightmap files shown in the build logs and same result. any idea's on how to fix this (I have an AMD card and the editor crashes after every full build but the logs claim each build has been successful anyway and it worked before)

there's no lights in this scene and i've full baked it twice since removing them

I have also baked lighting and then deleted them and rebaked again on a different map and it worked as expected in the same mod

[oak geyser]

In order to go back to "zero", with idStudio closed, delete the dvdpc, virtualtextures, base/generated, and base/maps/<your map name>/ folders in your mod folder. Take care with the map one though, don't delete map files, only folders, eg you may have a map file like my_map.map, and then in the same folder there will be a subfolder named my_map, only delete that subfolder, not the map (or refmap) file!

[vernal dagger]

I hadn't tried deleting the dvdpc one yet

let me see if that helps

[topaz fulcrum]

I have an issue where POI do not appear after respawning at a checkpoint which was triggered from completing an encounter?

Scenario
I beat an encounter and trigger the checkpoint as the last thing in the encounter
Respawning at the checkpoint will trigger the linked targets but the POI do not appear for some reason (other targets trigger as expected)
I added a temp trigger volume to do the checkpoint as a test, I fly to that and skip the combat, hit the temp trigger to do the checkpoint, then I respawn and the POI work fine.
So the issue seems to only happen when when the checkpoint happens from the encounter.
Other encounters and checkpoints in the map seem to work fine, so its very strange.

I just wondered if anyone had had similar issues before and what their solution was.

[vernal dagger]

This fixed the issue of the left over lighting but it's now made it clear that something isn't working with the indirect lighting because despite copy pasting lights multiple times some of them have zero indirect lighting while others do after a full bake

any idea what would cause that?

[oak geyser]

Not really... lighting is a very delicate thing, like, you can high quality bake your map with a thousand lights, but then you don't have any ambient lights and light probes, and then dynamic and static objects are lighted differently and this and that and whatever... you'd have have to provide a lot more details when it comes to lighting problems I'm afraid

[vernal dagger]

I'll give a specific senario with some examples hold on

[vernal dagger]

this is probably the spot that's easiest to compare because it's virtually copy pasted (minus a box blocking some lighting on one side) after a Full Bake there is seemingly no indirect bounces on these two spot lights, and the slowmap looks identical to the lightmap. however in the hallway this is copy-pasted from it seems to be working properly. I dont have any light probes placed around anywhere in the level so everything should behave the same no?

[plush thicket]

Can you show me your light setup

[vernal dagger]

sure

give me a sec

[plush thicket]

Is the same thing if you switch the preview to slowmap only, or only happen in slowmap+lightmap preview

[vernal dagger]

wdym?

[plush thicket]

I assume you using static lights only right

[vernal dagger]

if you mean the lights dont move, yes, if you mean checking the static light box on any of the lights, no

[plush thicket]

Can try to switch the preview to slowcombo

[vernal dagger]

it looks the same in slow combo

on both examples

here's the lighting setup in desired vs undesired result

[plush thicket]

Spot light need a high light intenstiy , make it cast light in walls like move the target

[vernal dagger]

It has a really high intensity

its set to I think 500

[plush thicket]

Oh i see in the second pic yes sorry

[vernal dagger]

no problem haha

[plush thicket]

So it was showing the light before right

[vernal dagger]

here's the "broken" lighting in slowcombo btw

[plush thicket]

Ohhh

[vernal dagger]

There's 2 halls, one (which is the first thing I made in the level) has normal indirect lighting, the second one (which is literally copypasted) has no indirect even after full bake

I could literally delete one of these spotlights and there's no indirect left oveer

before a rebake

[plush thicket]

Have you added ambient nodes ??

[vernal dagger]

I mean where do you add them

I was under the impression they were generated during full light build?

[plush thicket]

Try to add few ambients node around these dark areas and build the ambient

[plush thicket]

No, you need to add them

[vernal dagger]

where do I find them, they aren't under light (unless you mean light probes)

[plush thicket]

Info/ambient_node

[vernal dagger]

ill try it

is there like a default zone of them or something that I left the radius of?

[plush thicket]

Look at the graveyard level there an example how to use the ambient nodes

[vernal dagger]

ill take a look

assuming thats my issue im just curious why it seems to work properly at the origin of the level lol

[plush thicket]

Sorry i am in phone tomorrow will help you better

[vernal dagger]

no problem

[plush thicket]

Can run your level by using devmap cmd

[vernal dagger]

just in the "engine" tab or do u want me to package it

[plush thicket]

Yep in engine since you already did a full build

[vernal dagger]

here's the "normal" hall in devmap

let me quickly run to the broken one

"broken" hall in devmap

[plush thicket]

I think you good

[vernal dagger]

the reason the shadows aren't completely black is the ceiling light btw

[plush thicket]

I have to look at this in pc, tomorrow we can figure this out, but try the ambient node first

[vernal dagger]

Yeah im currently looking at how they used them in graveyard and then ill throw a few in and do a rebuild

placing them like this should be enough for a cramped hallway right?

[vernal dagger]

just did a full rebuild and it didn't seem to change anything, guess it's gotta wait for tomorrow

[plush thicket]

Try to cover the entire area with few nodes

add few static lights point around this area, low intensity ofcourse

Here an example you see how I use static light points to light few areas

[feral sigil]

someone has a mod for fly or noclip?

[atomic bay]

If you're opted into the PC Mod Preview and launch the game by clicking "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in the PC Mod Preview launcher, then press the key above Tab, to the left of 1, below Escape to open the console, type noClip and press Enter, and press that key again to close the console.

Otherwise (whether not opted into the PC Mod Preview, or clicking "Play DOOM Eternal" on the launcher's home page), you can use meath00k to add the noClip command. Download "XINPUT1_3.dll" from github dot com/brongo/m3337ho0o0ok/releases/latest, right-click Doom Eternal in your Steam library, choose "Manage" > "Browse local files" to open your Doom Eternal installation in File Explorer, and move the "XINPUT1_3.dll" file into this folder (so that it's in the same folder as "DOOMEternalx64vk.exe").
(I can't link to it right now, as the VEGA/Dyno bot is having an issue where it blocks all links.)

[tropic oasis]

You can also type in the console for example

bind noclip /
to toggle it using the '/' key (replace with any other key)

Another thing i found useful to bind when exploring a level for reference was "god" mode

[atomic bay]

That would be bind / noclip, actually - and you probably need to use something like "SLASH" instead of "/"? 🤷
But yes, binding noClip to a button is very useful. 👍

[tropic oasis]

Oops should have checked first 😅 but thanks for correcting 👍
(Pretty sure the symbol also works but again i didn't double check)

[vernal dagger]

So static lights dont work in that hallway at all, like they contribute nothing to the lightmap at any intensity specifically in that hallway

They work in the other two rooms though

actually upon deleting the lightmaps and rebaking it again it seems like static lighting doesn't work period even with ambient probes around

also the lightmap preview seems to look the way I would expect

[topaz fulcrum]

When loading my map it says "You need to build the combo map" but I am not sure what kind of build that is.

[whole cedar]

i think full map build should do it

[topaz fulcrum]

I will try, a full build takes a long time 😦

[molten token]

Has anyone played Doom The Dark Ages on xcloud gaming? I bought Game Pass Ultimate and signed in to xcloud gaming. The game works but doesn't recognize the mouse and keyboard. Does anyone know if there's a way to get it to recognize the mouse and keyboard? I only paid for one month and the clock is ticking. lol

[plush thicket]

You mean in xbox ??

[charred frost]

This is really impressive ! Can't wait to try it (and also can't wait to try the full version of the mod once it fully release)
In the same way, it would be cool to have a mod with stands (like in jojo, still in third person), or else to be able to play dio and stop time, maybe one day I'll try to make that mod if I have time lol

[molten token]

Xbox Club Gaming, with Game Pass Ultimate on PC, I'm using Google Chrome

[plush thicket]

Did have the xbox app in windows ??

[molten token]

Yes, I have the Xbox app on Windows, but not Xcloud Games. I'm accessing Xcloud Games from the Google Chrome browser. Everything worked. The game starts and says "press a" but it doesn't grab the mouse and the keyboard only has the option to connect a controller.

[plush thicket]

Have try to go to fullscreen mode ??

Launch the game and press ESC to go to fullscreen

[molten token]

It was already in full screen. Did it work for you with mouse and keyboard? Or do you know anyone who has been able to play it that way?

[plush thicket]

I have the game in steam, I don't know man try to play with controller

[molten token]

My problem is that my PC doesn't have a Bluetooth 😦 and I only have a wireless PS4 controller haha ​​how bad

[plush thicket]

does the xbox cloud gaming can be run as app not in the browser

[molten token]

I don't know, I think it's not possible, I'm not sure

[molten token]

Well somehow I was able to do it, I'm already playing it haha

[heady mango]

Does anyone have a link to a mod that gets rid of the "Red Screen" when low on Health? I found one on Nexusmods but its outdated. Thanks for your time

[dawn tapir]

wonder if they will release modding tools for the new doom

[atomic bay]

I'm optimistically hopeful that Doom Eternal's idStudio is like a "beta" for Doom: The Dark Ages' idStudio, so that modders will be ready and know how it works when Doom: The Dark Ages' idStudio releases.
...But, id Software haven't said anything about it yet. Unless they plan on shadow-dropping it, it's likely very far into the future. 😿

[last island]

How can you guys play eternal?

[halcyon dock]

I’m really hoping for it!!

I’d love making a Fortress of Doom type of mod for this game

[woven cobalt]

anyont having issue with there 3070 playing this game i cannot seem to be above 40fps and having huge latency

[halcyon dock]

I feel like having the collectibles, skins and level selection just in menus is a bit underwelming, to me at least

[fickle glade]

Astounding, I know.

[midnight hedge]

i have made the ice imp from mighty doom, hopefully the ice ball actually slows you a little bit. been having a hard time figuring that one out...

[karmic musk]

maybe look at the properties of the purple goo? Maybe it can be applied to the ice ball effect.

[pearl junco]

have the projectile apply a status effect

[polar nexus]

oh yea, now i know! (sarcasm)

[pseudo narwhal]

Out of curiosity, could you share your layout file for idstudio, I really like how you have it layed out there

[tight hinge]

that should be easy to do

in the projectile damage decl just add a status effect that slows down player

[midnight hedge]

@tight hinge can you make a custom status effect? The one I am using is the blood marker slowdown and it doesn't seem to be working?

[tight hinge]

absolutely

[midnight hedge]

@tight hinge thank you!

[tawny lance]

does modding not work??

im tryna search for shit and the search aint searchin

[empty scroll]

Guys I'm trying to complete my collection TDA, I know this is eternal chat but there isn't a dark ages modding room yet so I'm asking here. What are the chances of someone making a mod that allows you to unlock super exclusive skins like the legionary skin that's behind a 2000 dollar paywall that isn't even available in many countries? that skin is the only thing I'm missing, I spent hours scouring the internet and asking friends overseas and got the skin from the pizza place but that legionary skin is crazy... only limited to 666 copies too... Is it possible to actually unlock it on ones account with mods? it is a singleplayer game afterall

[tight hinge]

downloaded your mod to test it, you should make a new entityDef for it, like ai/fodder/imp_ice

some modders might want to use your assets

I can fix some things for you if you want, like add a status effect, changing the fire hud fx to be ice instead, etc...

[midnight hedge]

Sure, but would making a new entity def means it will not replace the regular imp?@tight hinge

[tight hinge]

depends on what you want to do with it, do you want to just replace it or make it an asset?

[midnight hedge]

@tight hinge for now it is just to give the game a bit of challenge compared to base game ,hence the texture and effect recolors as well as the fireball having the slow status effect. I do plan on eventually making a full on custom monsters that resemble the classic versions of the enemies, but right now my best is just recolors.

@tight hinge how would you go about making it a separate asset that other people can use? Once a mod is packaged and uploaded, it cannot be open by someone else's idstudio correct?

[tight hinge]

I believe there are some tools that allow to extract .pk5, but what you can also do is make an external link with all your mod files

[midnight hedge]

@tight hinge ok, one last question on the mod portal ther was the classic revenant skin replacing the single player model, how did they get the skin to use? I have been trying to find it in idstudio to use under the customization folder and the set skins are giving me errors to when i try and open them in the model viewer?

[fast plaza]

Make the damage from the roll apply the bloodangel hazard status effect

[wispy rose]

Have it throw the things that the eye of the boss cube in the Trial of Maligog shoots

[eager ginkgo]

how is this modding scene here, have there been updates and any custom campaigns etc?

[fast plaza]

There was a third party modding scene for a few years after eternal's release and id worked together with modders to release public tools

you can use idtech 7 to make basically anything

[prisma vector]

KaiserCampaign

[midnight hedge]

i have made a separate asset version on nexus mods, feel free to improve it if you wish, any help would be appreciated.

[teal plover]

Good evening

[subtle otter]

I've been attempting to port over the fortnite doom slayer model over the slayer, but been running into this issue where the model stretches too hell, any ideas or ways to work around it?

[tight hinge]

are you just porting the mesh?

[midnight hedge]

@subtle otter you might need to reapply the bone weights to the mesh if it has the same bone names.

[jaunty verge]

I want to make a mod that replaces slayer with my favorite character from the other games, how can I make sure the model importing working good?

Here's for an instance, Taking Helia from honkai impact. to replace default Slayer. to which format to export as?

[nova fog]

Hi everyone, I'm just starting to learn how to make mods and I have a question, how do I use the official packages I've downloaded? For example, "Basic Level Design Tutorial Maps", I've downloaded it, but I can't find any tutorials on how to use it

if you open idStudio, there's a tab called File in the World Edit, and you click on "Open Map from Package"

[nova fog]

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try

how do i make a target spawn use the demon portal spawn in animation?

[oblique dirge]

Well, I’m guessing you want to learn how to make maps if I’m correct

The best way to get started is just experiment look at the wiki and just figure out what you wanna make as soon as you do that make the block out and then do the decoration. Do not use assets to build.

This is what your blackout should look like when you start coming up with the idea of the layout

Do just my past levels that I have not released yet because for some odd reason, I cannot upload them or they keep corrupting

[next cliff]

Not learn how to make

Just know how to play fan made ones

[oblique dirge]

Oh my bad you go to Doom Eternal on Steam and go to properties on Doom Eternal and then switch the version to PC mod preview

[next cliff]

Oki, thnx

What next?

[rough parrot]

Look up a YouTube guide, there’s tons out there

oki thnx

[ancient shard]

FBX, if it is an animated model, allways FBX tho.

[river plank]

Yall know horror DOOM wad files right? So hear me out Doom Eternal horror mods

[jaunty verge]

There goes the textures, now I just have to export.

[jaunty verge]

Also, after finished testing mods, how do I publish it? In the meantime I'm trying to free up space to install idstudio. Also I changed my mind, Helia replaces Immoran skin.

[jaunty verge]

Slayer and demons and all of skins are animated models, right?

[whole cedar]

so you want to make it a slayer skin right? in that case you must rig your model to the original doomguy armature first and weight paint it

[ancient shard]

Yep, they all are animated models tho. But you have to tweak the rig and its weight paint tho.

[ancient shard]

This!

[fickle glade]

Is that a Hoyoverse character?

[jaunty verge]

Yes, absolutely.

[fickle glade]

From which one, cuz I know that's not a Zenless character

[jaunty verge]

I was thinking of replacing one of the slayer’s skin with it.

Also for zenless… well here’s this one.

[fickle glade]

Do Anby next

And make the health pickups burgers

[jaunty verge]

I imagine that one would be wacky but I’ll try if I can.

For Anby herself, I’ll give it a go.

Maybe she replacing default skin

[jaunty verge]

How do you do Weight Painting?

[whole cedar]

*select the slayer rig
*shift select your model
*ctrl+tab
*select weight paint mode

you could also use a data transfer modifier on your model and choose vertex groups

[heady gyro]

Does anyone know how to view these models in the animated model editor? This is the classic revenant skin, but it won't open because it has "no joints". Is there an asset pack I need to have installed?

[oak geyser]

Most of the custom skins simply aren't included. The md6 defs, material decls and some of the preview images are there, but the textures, meshes, skeletons, etc aren't.

[jaunty verge]

Just we wait. and I'm gonna get to start creating mods.

[jaunty verge]

Ah man.

[errant peak]

Had the same thing today, try closing other applications to free up some ram worked for me.

[plush thicket]

Try to open form the launcher, Open the game, go to creation tab/idstudio, and click create new mod in idstudio

You must install the game and idstudio in same path

[clear nacelle]

does anybody know how to mod doom eternal if i bought it on the xbox app?

[atomic bay]

Both official and unofficial mod support works with the Microsoft Store(/Xbox Game Pass) version. See here: #eternal-modding message

[prime prism]

Why is mod manager setup not working?

[atomic bay]

Your version of EternalModInjector is outdated. You can find the latest version here: https://gamebanana.com/tools/7475

[prime prism]

For some reason, my internet is not opening and it keeps giving me an error.

mods still not showing

[jaunty verge]

So, it’s crashing because of that “Out of host memory” error..

Well I’ll show you the storage later.

[jaunty verge]

Also, Can I leave some of my exported FBX models here? incase I want someone to check too.

Welp, turns out I have 16gb RAM but the program minimum is 32. Unfortunately I can’t get my models to work so yeah

[whole cedar]

hmm i mean i have 16 gb of ram yet idstudio runs pretty well for me

[jaunty verge]

Okay then, I’ll try install it back in and try close all other apps and games and run it alone.

[jaunty verge]

I don’t know what to do if I can’t run it again.

[jaunty verge]

Anyways, in the meantime, have a look at my other models. I've prepared.

Lantern replaces default skin
Thelema replaces Astro skin.

of course I'm using FBX format on export as usual.

[errant peak]

same here only had this error once

[jaunty verge]

Or could it be that the directory idstudio was installed has less storage than the minimum? I kept having that error while launching.

[errant peak]

Could be

i need a little help, i am currently modding the microsoft store version of doom eternal and i got to the dump part and im a little bit stuck on the part where it says "Next, just download EternalModInjector [here on GameBanana], and extract it into the dumped folder (so that "EternalModManager.exe" is in the same folder as "DOOMEternalx64vk.exe"

do i have to move those modinjector files into the dump on their own because i see alot of other files here and i want to make sure i move them the right way so they dont break

[atomic bay]

I'm not really sure what you mean by "on their own", but as long as...
- "EternalModInjector.bat", "EternalModManager.exe", and "EternalModManager.exe.config" end up in the same folder as the dumped "DOOMEternalx64vk.exe" file.
- And "BlangParser.dll", "DEternal_loadMods.exe", and the rest of EternalModInjector's "base" folder's contents end up in the same folder as the dumped "gameresources.resources" file.
...then it should be okay.

[clear nacelle]

yeah thats what i meant thanks

whenever i want to run doom eternal with mods i open it through the dumped file right?

[atomic bay]

You have to open EternalModManager and click "Run mod injector" if you want to change which mods are installed - but after that, I don't know. I think that you can still launch the game through Microsoft Store or Xbox App for Windows if you don't want to change mods? 🤷

[clear nacelle]

what about the mods folder from the eternalmodinjector zip, does that go anywhere or does it just stay in the original zip i downloaded off the website

nvm i just figured it out

ok now about the mods, ive been looking at this mod made by iW1CKED called the challenger series #001 but the thing is ive only seen it on the official bethesda site and ive never found a zip folder of it. Does anybody here know if there's a zip folder I can find out there so I can drag it into the mod loader?

[atomic bay]

Doom Eternal has two types of mod support: The "old", unofficial EternalModInjector, and the "new", official PC Mod Preview/idStudio. You're talking about a PC Mod Preview/idStudio mod, so you have to use the PC Mod Preview launcher for that.
-# (You can use both types at the same time, but you can only load EternalModInjector mods with EternalModInjector, and you can only load PC Mod Preview mods through the PC Mod Preview launcher.)
See the first half of this message: #eternal-modding message

[static nexus]

Hello, nobody might be able to help me but I really hope somebody can so whenever I loaded to doom it launches normally I play a game, but the moment I die it restarts the whole thing all over again like you know whenever you start the first chapter and it shows you that text as soon as I die, it shows me that and I’ve tried everything and I cannot fix it

[clear nacelle]

how do i launch the game with mods? i downloaded some mods and put them in the manager and im launching eternal but no mods show up in the game

[atomic bay]

Did you click "Run mod injector" in EternalModManager? Did the command prompt window finish and say that mods were successfully installed, or did it show you an error (or instantly close)?

[clear nacelle]

my fault i didnt keep pressing continue

[clear nacelle]

enountered another problem, I joined the xbox insider preview for doom mods so I could downlaod that one mod I mentioned before, but now its making me update doom eternal, but its stuck at 0%.

[jaunty verge]

How do we find out which mods are conflicting each other?

[oak geyser]

One can make an educated guess, taking into account the aspects of the game that the mods are changing, and if you know which files exactly are being changed, then you'd probably guess right more often than not. In the end it would still come down to trial and error though, you'll just have to try and see what happens.

[stable tide]

Is kaiser campaign easy to install through steam workshop?
Also recommendations for hardcore mods like custom masterlevels and kaiser campaign?

[atomic bay]

There's no Steam Workshop - but yes, if you opt into the PC Mod Preview branch, it should be as easy as downloading the mod through the game's new launcher, activating the mod, and starting a new save slot.

[stable tide]

perfect

if anyone has suggestions for other hardcore mods I should try pls let me know

[rough parrot]

How hard do you want? Give comparisons to master levels for difficulty or if you want harder lmk

[stable tide]

As hard as possible. But pretty much anything equal to or above tag 1

Feel free to list as many mods as u want as long as they are good

[rough parrot]

Well all the master levels in the base game other than arc complex are way harder than tag1, here’s some levels I enjoyed though
Protehs reclaimed earth
Cuzzmotions immora
Saleems the holt
Saleems graveyard
Hells abyss by Bysior21
Consumed earth by Bysior21 (by far the hardest out of all these)

Last two have custom edits to the level that make them look way different and they are a very cool experience, highly recommend them both

[stable tide]

Perfect thank you

[rough parrot]

Good luck 🫡

[tight hinge]

can't believe you missed my man's blood swamps

saleem will haunt you in your sleep

[rough parrot]

Haven’t played it yet but I will soon, how comparable is it to the holt in terms of difficulty?

[tight hinge]

slightly harder

but easily one of my favorites

[plush thicket]

You should try the infamous blood swamp master level LOL

Here some pictures of my upcoming level

[rough parrot]

I’ve heard great things about it definitely gonna give it a go sometime soon

You make some great levels, that looks really good!

[plush thicket]

Next mod will have two levels

UAC style, and second one will be nekravolish style level

[rough parrot]

Modded nekravol levels are my favorite, they just look so good

[plush thicket]

Yeah it very simple fun level, fresh layout ofcourse

Very detailed art

[tight hinge]

day 254 of waiting for levitation ascend full level

[plush thicket]

[rugged prism]

I really want to level up in the sandbox mode, irrespective of what mod or gamemode I load or play, no matter how miniscule; I want some sense of progression. Is there a mod that can do this or can anyone please make something along these lines? Any way to manually edit and preserve the doom level (for the sandbox save file) in the meantime?

Saleem and Toyota you guys are super talented, what do you think is this even possible? I remember there was something similar for black ops 3, it was called Pegasus or something

[ashen lichen]

sorry for the late response and ping, but
is "DOOM Eternal with mods" called a "sandbox"?
Is it normal that after running it a few times there are no profiles for the sandbox locally saved?

[atomic bay]

[...] is "DOOM Eternal with mods" called a "sandbox"? [...]
Yes. The normal version of the game is a file called "DOOMEternalx64vk.exe", while the "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" version is a file called "DOOMSandBox64vk.exe", so a lot of people refer to it as the "sandbox".

[...] Is it normal that after running it a few times there are no profiles for the sandbox locally saved?
If you change some in-game settings, are those settings still active when you reboot the game? If so, you do have local files somewhere (it should be in "C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMSandBox\base\savegame.unencrypted\").

[polar nexus]

i wonder what's taking long with the full release of mod support

[atomic bay]

For one, most of id Software has been (and still is) busy with Doom: The Dark Ages recently. 🤷

[frozen lake]

The only way I know how to download this mod is through Doom Eternal itself or through the website but it won’t let me link my Steam account to my Bethesda account

So what am I supposed to do?

I really want to download this awesome mod to use in Doom Eternal

[atomic bay]

Firstly, does it work if you try to sign into your Bethesda.net account within the PC Mod Preview launcher (not in a web browser, and not on a phone)?
Secondly, you can only download PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods through the game's launcher, not through the website.

[frozen lake]

Oh okay so it’s not a mod I can just download from the website like with Nexus Mods?

[atomic bay]

Correct. Anything on "mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/" is only for the PC Mod Preview launcher (see the first half of #eternal-modding message ).

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah nah you need to go on Steam, click on game properties for DE, and select the pc-mod-preview branch from the drop-down menu. You'll see the launcher appear when you boot up the game afterwards.

Then it's a simple matter of downloading the mod and dragging and dropping it onto your loadlist, and launching the game.

[indigo zenith]

Im stuck on a infinite signing in
this is the same on the xbox preview can anyone help please

[indigo zenith]

I can load the mod menu fine on google chrome but on steam/ xbox pc app it doesn't work

[round stone]

I asked the same question in the Eternal Modding Hub Server, but is there any way I can get a mod from Nexus Mods onto the Official DE Mod Loader? Like can I get the Marauder Skins for Campaign mod into the mod loader?

[jaunty verge]

By the way guys. How much RAM overall used while running Eternal id studio?

[river shale]

i have a problem, when i play with mods i can connect my bethesda account

[halcyon stratus]

You can use both mod injector and launcher mods at the same time.

Use the injector first and launcher 2nd.

[oak geyser]

Depends on what you're doing. Base idStudio, with no maps loaded or anything, will use about 13 GB, and then it's only up from there.

[oak geyser]

Did you mean to write "can't"? Because that is to be expected, for now the Mod Preview is somewhat "sandboxed", it will not connect with Bethesda, and it will use a separate profile and saves.

[round stone]

So launch the 3rd party injector, then launch with the official loader?

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah.

You can use mods from both.

[jaunty verge]

Well when I ran it first time, It crashes and shows the "Out of host memory" error.

[oak geyser]

That sounds like it could also be about VRAM, ie your GPU's memory, rather than your system RAM. What's your system specs? If you don't have enough system RAM, then increasing the virtual memory can potentially help. If you don't have enough VRAM though, that's a little bit more problematic. The requirements say min 6GB VRAM for Nvidia and 8GB for AMD GPUs, not sure how accurate that is though.

[oblique dirge]

Hey guys, whoever see this is new to the modeling scene. I’m going to be making a map for people that don’t really know how to decorate well it’s gonna be going over the basics and also some of the other things that you would need to know to make a good map for someone to play. I’ll be releasing the dot map file and it will have a lot of things that you would want to know or things you haven’t known yet

[ashen lichen]

If you change some in-game settings, are those settings still active when you reboot the game?
Yes, but the only thing in the Saved Games\id Software folder is the DOOMEternal folder. No sandbox files

nvm, for some reason it created 2 separate folders:

• Default windows "Saved Games" folder (in native language)
• A new "Saved Games" folder (in english)

gonna transfer my save file in a moment to see if it works

Alright, works fine. Thank you so much ❤️

[river shale]

oh, ty so much

[whole cedar]

Are those integrated graphics? im pretty sure its that

[slim scaffold]

That laptop has 100% integrated graphics

[oak geyser]

Yeah, there's your problem. I have no idea whether idStudio actually works with Intel Xe (or any integrated graphics for that matter) in the first place, but even if it does, I don't know if you'd be able to give the GPU enough shared memory (aside from what the iGPU hardware actually supports, it's ultimately limited by BIOS/OS rules I think), all while retaining enough memory for the OS and idStudio ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar nexus]

...

not my mod

[tight hinge]

very descriptive

[tight hinge]

I love mods that have random names with no description being published 👍

[worn cedar]

hey im looking to increase my FOV further than what the game allows you to do with in-game settings. I'm playing on PC GAME PASS. I know on steam you can set launch options, but not sure how to do something similar on xbox/pc game pass app.

[vague fable]

I done installed and activated doom eternal master campaign by delta, but starting new game not working to play mod levels. Does any have docs about installing and setting this mod?

[misty osprey]

Hey guys, So I see a bunch of speedrunners and others use a cheat engine table that enables the developer options commands! And most tutorials I watch lay around 2021 meaning they are outdated and no longer work. So I was wondering if someone could assist me just to enable it bcuz I seriously dont know.

[atomic bay]

You have three options:
- Run EternalModInjector once (even if you don't actually install any mods with it). This will unhide all hidden console commands/variables.
- Install meath00k (https://github.com/brongo/m3337ho0o0ok/releases/latest). This will unhide all hidden console commands/variables, and also add chrispy (the same as PC Mod Preview's spawn), noclip, noTarget, and anything starting with mh_.
- Opt into the PC Mod Preview and click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" in Doom Eternal's new launcher. This will give you access to hidden console commands/variables, plus many commands/variables that were completely removed from the "normal" version of the game (including noclip, noTarget, spawn (the same as meath00k's chrispy), and more).

[misty osprey]

I see. Appreciate the help, I will test each based on my preference. Once again thx sm!!

[rough parrot]

What is that last fight bro

I could not bhop to save my life every time I went for a dblade I killed myself

[plush thicket]

You meet steve I assume

[rough parrot]

Steve’s cool, the fight after that was not

[raw ingot]

Are there any mods that are just a straight up practice arena like in ultra kill or other games like that?

I haven’t t been able to find any

[fickle glade]

Slayerpalast is the closest thing

[raw ingot]

I’ll take a look thanks

[oblique dirge]

Every time I open up the software it just straight up crashes
I have no idea why this is happening

[plush thicket]

oh Yeah that's level mod is cooked I made it back in 2020

[fringe coral]

Hi. I am going to start Eternal modding in the near future. I wanted to ask if importing 2016 models, textures AI and weapons is relatively painless.

[spiral mountain]

i believe a few mods bringing the textures of the demons from 2016 is on the mod launcher beta, for importing i dont know how painless that can be but i know theres file extractors for each of the new games allowing easy access to the files to edit

[fringe coral]

Alright. I wanted to make a classic Eternal style map first to get used to the tools and then make an unofficial 2016 themed DLC

Just gotta finish my Doom WAD first

would be a lot easier if there was an asset pack

[raw ingot]

Just dled slayerpalast and its a great suggestion, thank you

[spiral mountain]

hey im trying to find the skin for the sentinel armor but all the devs made the files just a singleword with a raising number, i wanted to make different painted versions of the armor

[whole cedar]

you mean the filename of the sentinel skin? its doomslayer_cine_set11 and doom_marine_3p_set11

[spiral mountain]

thank you so much, this saves me so much time

[whole cedar]

theres actually a google file with all set names

pretty sure its in the eternal modding wiki

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f3JgB9SgOjNoUSLZap-rJu9G1fiwAbnXzSw2fsfWAj0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[spiral mountain]

what would be a good editor to use with this file?

[whole cedar]

you mean for texturing?

[spiral mountain]

yes

[whole cedar]

i use substance 3d painter

but if you want a simple recolor i would just edit the images manually on something like paint.net

[spiral mountain]

alrighty thx

[misty ibex]

any of you use reshade?

[hidden mason]

is there a mod to make heavy cannon hitscan

and to have more enmyes in general

[spiral mountain]

there actually is

[hidden mason]

send the file or the nexus mods link please

[spiral mountain]

its in the mod beta for steam

i dont think i can link it

[north pecan]

Does anyone have a mod to make mancubus enemies look like Brian Thompson?

[spiral mountain]

i dont understand why nobody is using the id studio to create their own demons. it is now possible to make a model and turn it to a md6 file in the id studio and what really frustrates me is that if that model is made it is able to be modded into doom snapmap using snaphak like the potential there for more content is immense and no one is taking advantage of it at all

[smoky cypress]

Cross emoji in doom server is so tuff icl

[pearl junco]

File formats change heavily between games. An md6 for Doom Eternal can't just be copy-pasted into Doom 2016 and work. The game won't even understand it

[spiral mountain]

yes it can with snaphak

wont work for gore tho

enemies will just t pose when dead probably if a death animation isnt made for it

[hidden mason]

how can i edit stats of guns

[tall patrol]

Guys

I am extremely lost with this ID studio stuff i have no clue what I am doing

the offical tutorials say something about a camera view or somethiung but i don't have that

[rugged prism]

How do I edit my sandbox doom rank? Is it a hard lock at 1???

[atomic bay]

i dont understand why nobody is using the id studio to create their own demons. it is now possible to make a model and turn it to a md6 file in the id studio [...]
There is much more to creating a demon than just making a model - and even "just making a model" on its own is already quite tough for most people, even if you ignore all "bonus" parts like gore meshes and such.
(See also: The somewhat lack of fully custom models even in Doom Eternal (I think?), despite not having any extra steps after converting the model via idStudio.)

[jaunty verge]

So, May two or more people collaborate in making a mod? because as of now I'm unable to get idstudio to run, it kept crashing.

In the meantime I have FBX models at ready to import.

[oak geyser]

Although not entirely impossible, it is rather unlikely that Hugo Martin will sneak into your bedroom at night and slap you in the face with a wet fish, just because you've collaborated with poopmarinegoober335. There are no rules against collaborating with anyone on any mods.

[oak geyser]

No, it's not locked, you'll level up with XP just like in vanilla doom, however I'm not sure whether XP is generated automatically for custom maps, or if they'd need to implement something for scoring to work.

[jaunty verge]

Then I'll share my FBX models here. And let me see if they can be successfully imported into id. While I was exporting from Blender, on path mode, I chose "Copy" then click the embed textures option.

I guess I can only work on Blender for the time being. given the state of my laptop.

[rugged prism]

"Fine. I'll do it myself"

Did it with a bat script and python code, just have to manually run a bat file everytime you want to level up, can tweak per run xp in py file

Had to use a bin to json and json to bin converter in addition

Engineering™

[tight hinge]

Trust me, people are trying, but there are still things we can't do yet

Havok ragdoll is one of them, unless we can create new Ragdolls custom demons won't be able to be fully finished

[spiral mountain]

hmm. no way to make a death animation for them instead?

i know theres a option for those back in 2016

[tight hinge]

You can make custom death anims, but due to lack of ragdoll they will just t-pose when they die

[spiral mountain]

dang

[tight hinge]

I've been trying to port the hell razer, but I've hit some walls

[spiral mountain]

wonder if you could make them stay in the death animation

like they fall and just replay the same sequence of being on the floor

[tight hinge]

Those still require ragdoll to look properly

[spiral mountain]

then what the devs need to do is make a ragdoll system for this cause it looks like without it it would be impossible to make a demon without the t pose. unless its a ally demon thats not supposed to die

[tight hinge]

they have, it's called havok physics, which is licensed so they can't add it to the studio

[spiral mountain]

so its something you have to pay for?

i just find it confusing to put only half the tools to make a demon

[tight hinge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/788547139466035231/1356750290417750026/Untitled.mp4?ex=68416aec&is=6840196c&hm=03159b2ccd684f9f3d5bfac256bf8dc3a828756ce7f68c1e9b11a8304e9a9315&

example of t posing

[spiral mountain]

is there any way to add like a different code for ragdolling?

[tight hinge]

no, idstudio only uses havok

[tight hinge]

they can't do anything about it

it's an external tool to create ragdolls

[spiral mountain]

then why give us the option to even make a demon? that just feels like false hope

without any way to make it stay in death pose it be impossible for new creatures to happen

[tight hinge]

keep in mind, the studio is in beta

[spiral mountain]

really hope they continue to update it

[tight hinge]

not only I can't make ragdolls yet, I also been having trouble porting slayer anims from 2016, due to different skeletons

if someone is familiar with animation retargeting I'd definetly appreciate the help

[tight hinge]

that is not how it works, snaphak is irrelevant for idStudio

[spiral mountain]

it can mod in md6 files as long as the resources for the model is there, tho no idea if animations or even movment will work

just pretty much the model

[tight hinge]

again, file formats are fundamentally different, I know this for a fact

[spiral mountain]

correction not md6 files i mean obj files

we tested it with those and they can be brought in like that

[tight hinge]

those are static models

we are talking about different things here

[spiral mountain]

i was talking about creating demons in id studio which thats what you were saying and i was just saying ( didnt realize i said md6 files meant tosay obj) that the files that are obj can be brought to doom 2016

[tight hinge]

sure, but md6skel, md6mesh and md6anims are still different formats from 2016

I had to manually export the animations from 2016 as .fbx and then import them to idStudio

[tight hinge]

I've modded 2016 demons too

[spiral mountain]

someone was able to get the original glory kill on pinky from above from 2016 into eternal

not sure how they did it tho

[tight hinge]

that animation probably already existed in the game

[spiral mountain]

hmm someone was also able to make the player smack the vega bots for the mods, was that in the game or did they make the animation?

[tight hinge]

you mean o_dey's mod? yes he manually changed the animation

[spiral mountain]

ah ok, so its possible for new animations.. could there be new animations for demons or would that be locked? thinkin g you could turn a hellknight into a stalker imp varient

[tight hinge]

yes you can do new animations, all the hellrazer animations I have were added

[spiral mountain]

ah ok so what if you turned a soldier into one of the hell rasiers? i know it wont have the same model but it can proabbly act the same as the hell raiser if it can get new animations

[tight hinge]

no, I had to also add the mesh, skeleton and animations, eternal's soldier has a different skeleton than hellrazer

[spiral mountain]

dang. would there be a way to custom make the animations? i know that would be a pain to do just trying to see what can be done.

[tight hinge]

if you are a good animation in blender yeah go for it

but even adapting animations to a new skeleton is a pain in the ass

I had to repurpose unused 2016 animations for stuff in eternal (meathook, on fire, etc...)

[spiral mountain]

jeez

[tight hinge]

oh yeah trust me it's not easy

you would also have to make a new md6def from scratch (I made mine similar to eternal's soldier)

[thin harness]

Guys, who speak russian, i need help

[elfin shale]

anyone know if this coop mod works with the official eternal mod launcher or? https://gamebanana.com/mods/428523

I'd assume not but just thought I'd ask

[prisma vector]

Nope
It only works in the vanilla .exe with the mod injector

[elfin shale]

aww hopefully theres another like it sooner or later

[solemn shuttle]

why does my game look like this

[prisma vector]

Doom 3 mod

[solemn shuttle]

I don’t have one

Just kaiser campaign, keep the dead and more wounds

In the videos of kaiser campaign that I seen it wasn’t like this

[atomic bay]

That mod works by modifying the online BattleMode, and the PC Mod Preview's "Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button is "sandboxed" with no online connectivity at all (including BattleMode), so it won't come to the PC Mod Preview mod list (unless a future update enables online play in the sandbox).

You can still use the mod while opted into the PC Mod Preview, though. You just have to install it with the unofficial EternalModInjector, and then click "Play DOOM Eternal" in the launcher's home screen (meaning that you can't use PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods with it 😿).

[oblique dirge]

я могу

[atomic bay]

Which mods?
For EternalModInjector mods, do you have EternalModManager's "Advanced options..." > "Load multiplayer safe mods only" option enabled or disabled, and did you click "Run mod injector" in EternalModManager to install them?
And for PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods, did you drag them into the "Active mods" area, did you click "Play DOOM Eternal with mods", and does your Windows username contain any non-ASCII characters?

[oblique dirge]

hey who made this mod dm me if you made it plz

[graceful quail]

I made it

[halcyon stratus]

I was just about to say I can't load the thing. It won't appear listed under the devmap command.

NVM it updated, just finished it. Nice proof of concept.

[polar nexus]

anything special in ur map?

[graceful quail]

I dont know, try it! it makes me happy ;D

[solemn shuttle]

Can someone help me my game keeps crashing on startup

I get a popup saying “classic doom 2marine unlocked” and then it crashes

[torn knoll]

Can i get mods on Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

Cosmic Realm?

You know I'm starting to wonder what if someone backported TDA's Doomguy to Eternal. Not the suit, the head.

Just so his face looks normal.

[atomic bay]

On the Microsoft Store(/Xbox Game Pass) version on PC? Yes: #eternal-modding message
On an Xbox console? No - but maybe PC Mod Preview will come to consoles as well when it's finished, if we're lucky. 🤷

[oblique dirge]

You are correct this is not going to be a level. I’m just testing things, but if you guys want the mat file when I’m done, I will gladly give it to you so you can use those assets if you want. A lot of those are custom.

[polar nexus]

good luck on that

[violet thicket]

has anyone made a wave based survival mode yet

[grizzled shell]

Hey, new to Eternal modding, could somebody point me in the right direction of how to model swap? Trying to swap out the slayer with a different player model

[torn knoll]

I think they had mod support but I think they removed it but when I get one I will get mods because I want to play 100 barons vs 1 slayer but I can’t on a Xbox

[atomic bay]

I think they had mod support but I think they removed it [...]
On consoles? No, Doom Eternal has never had mod support on consoles. You might be thinking of the 90's Doom games (which do have mods on consoles), SnapMap (Doom 2016's official map-making mode, which is on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox), or just PC mods for Doom Eternal.

[torn knoll]

Just mods for eternal

[atomic bay]

PC mods are still a thing (both official (PC Mod Preview/idStudio) and unofficial (EternalModInjector)), and haven't been removed. Console mods have never been a thing for Doom Eternal.

[molten token]

Does anyone know if the floating eyes in the encounter with Samuel Hyden at the end of DLC Part 1 are AI? Or are they FX or ambient? I don't see them in the "AI" games. Does anyone know if they can be added or how? I'd like to include them in the final encounter of my level.

[brisk jungle]

good lord the darker praetor suit mod somehow made the entire GAME look and feel better

[plush thicket]

I think there an dynamic entity controlled by logic entity

[molten token]

Mmm, do I need to have the Holt DLC 1 pack installed to be able to see it? Because I only have Urdak and Celestial installed, haha.

[oak geyser]

Maybe, maybe not. The entity can be found as entityDef/ai/boss/samuel/tendril_eye. I think the Samur AI spawns it as a response to animation events (ae_boss_Samuel_Event/ Ae Spawn Tendril Eye). Not sure if it's possible to spawn it any other way, you certainly can't just put the entity on the map, that will be an immediate crash.

[molten token]

Is the same thing happening with those rays? My idea is for the final boss to be "Vega," and I have some ideas, but they seem complicated. I'd like those rays to start appearing in phase 3, or if I can simulate something similar myself, that would be fine.

[oak geyser]

I think those are just particle systems and hazard entities placed on the map, I'd have to check

[molten token]

I understand, my idea is that in the first round 5 Maykr drones come out with different colors (yellow, blue, and red), yellow for the sniper, red for the sticky bombs, and blue for the ballista. When you kill the 5 Maykr drones, Vega becomes vulnerable (only receiving damage from the BFG). Then, in phase 2, the same thing happens and in the final phase, those rays come out. I have the entire encounter created but I don't know if it's possible to generate unique damage, and I don't know how to do it for each entity in addition to the rays in the environment.

[dire abyss]

Is there a way to have mods on xbox one x ?

[plush thicket]

No, unfortunately but who knows what future hold

[dire abyss]

Ok, thanks man

[oak geyser]

Here's the laser basics extracted/recreated, it really is just basic fx/hazards moved by logic.

Not sure if it's possible to have different damage behavior for the same AI base type, that would be a question for someone who has looked into it already. I mean, there's the damage decls and they have AI type specific damage mitigation, and there's also the AI health components for AI entities where it's seemingly possible to define by what they can be damaged, but I don't know if that actually works, like if you look at the spirit for example, its weakness actually seems to be defined in its AI component decl (aicomponent/parasite/spirit), so I don't know 🤷

[molten token]

Man, you're the best! It looks perfect. Do you know how to make them move from side to side? Or how can I make them move from side to side?

I just need to add the target relay of the platforms to the start and end of my start and stop lockdown in the Encounter Manager?

[molten token]

The lasers don't hurt me, is it because I didn't stick the "decltree" properly on my map?

I put them like this

[oak geyser]

The lasers do already move, the logic for it is included, it's kinda like mover scripters but done in logic. The logic entity needs to be copied too if you put things into another map, idStudio would then automatically copy the logic .decl in a subfolder named after that other map. Using triggers in the encounter manager to start/stop/show/hide/enable/disable thing is certainly an option. Damage is applied by the hazard volumes, that's unrelated to the logic.

[molten token]

mm is that I copied all the dynamic function entities and everything from your map, except the player start and the light points and put them in a group, I copied and pasted that group into my map, the damage is not added I think, should I add that separately?

When I entered your map, the rays were hurting me.

I understand, don't add those "env damage electric" haha

[cyan palm]

First picture of circuitry is like the circuitry in recroom, so I'm familiar with it

[weak canopy]

Blueprints :]

[wispy zealot]

me waiting to see if the classic hud is still implementable

[pulsar lintel]

It surely cant be that hard right? I mean its just a texture replacment really.

[wispy zealot]

some prompts looked different, coding may be needed

whos idea was it to add "pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows" hud

I do admit it can stay in the game but at least couldve made it a Setrting in the game!

[pulsar lintel]

Yes the coding would need to be changed, you change the texture of the numbers based on the triggers for the health and ammo and such.

I also noticed that the PS5 version in the early stages had a different hud, why?

[wispy zealot]

the dogshit one?

[pulsar lintel]

it was similar to that, it seemed closer to the previous image you sent.

[wispy zealot]

better look

[pulsar lintel]

It was shown in the PS5 trailer for the arch-vile.

[pulsar lintel]

Yes I think thats it.

[wispy zealot]

this is that hud

[pulsar lintel]

Wait that is native or mod? I've not seen people play it on PS5 much but I dont remember it being native.

[wispy zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNRJMYZUzjA thers this

Its kinda strange they removed it, it looked kinda cool.

[wraith wren]

Hello, guys! Do anyone know what fonts are used in Doom: TDA? Is there any ways to find it from game files?

[small ibex]

Trying to use this but every time I get an error saying it can't be extracted.
The first two lines are also what appears when I select the executable.

[oak geyser]

Doesn't work while idStudio is running unfortunately, seems like it acquires exclusive locks or something on these files 🤷

[small ibex]

Thanks!

[fickle glade]

@modest obsidian Can we expect an update to idstudio any time soon?

[oblique dirge]

😭 please

[plush thicket]

Don't think it possible to extract wad7 files, it new file format

[small ibex]

I just did and now I can access the maps

[plush thicket]

oh ok then

good to know, what you want to do ??

[oblique dirge]

[fickle glade]

At least before Quakecon

[molten token]

In order for my lasers to start hidden and only activate and appear when I activate my encounter, do I need to add a Relay target and put all the objects in the Relay target's target? I mean, is that the way to do it? Also, set each laser object to "hide," right? I want to be sure this is the correct way to activate them with my encounter

[tawdry verge]

Are there any modded practice maps/setups where I can practice stuff? I'm looking for stuff like inactive respawnable/invincible enemies I can test combos on and learn new tricks like SLOBs, a place where I can learn ballista boosting etc. I am not aware of any.

[oblique dirge]

Well, there is no map for that. You can play the campaign, but that is a very interesting idea for a map idea.

[rough parrot]

Slayerpalast is a practice hub

Thinking of trying my hand at making maps for Eternal.

Is 16gb memory enough?

[molten token]

I have an NVIDIA GTX 1660 super and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-core processor.

[opaque thunder]

Better through Steam or some other method like Xbox?

[molten token]

[molten token]

This video also helped me, I did the same thing step by step and then you understand some things yourself haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RzIZ2e-ozc

[molten token]

Maps and mods cannot be created from Xbox, you must do so from Steam.

[opaque thunder]

Lemme go buy the game then. Thanks

3rd time buying. Can we use TAG assets? From deluxe edition

[atomic bay]

Thinking of trying my hand at making maps for Eternal. - Is 16gb memory enough?
The official minimum requirements for idStudio say 32 gigabytes. The bigger, more expansive, and more detailed maps you want to make, the more RAM you will need to compile it.

Are the tutorials worth much on the wiki?
In addition to https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/ (official) like @ FXHEXCEN linked to, there's also https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio (unofficial) and https://www.youtube.com/@idSoftware/videos (official). I think that they're all useful.

Better through Steam or some other method like Xbox?
idStudio is only available through Steam. (Both Steam and Microsoft Store/Xbox Game Pass PC players can use mods created with idStudio, though.)

Lemme go buy the game then. Thanks
Consider waiting for a 75% or 80% sale first to save some money. Steam's Summer Sale is coming up soon.

[...] Can we use TAG assets? From deluxe edition
Yes. You can download asset packs for all The Ancient Gods maps, though they don't include the actual map itself (unlike the Campaign, Horde, and BattleMode map asset packs).

[modest obsidian]

https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/release-notes/2025/06/17/update-2 **Update 2 **for DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview) includes some new features, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements.

[tight hinge]

The tutorials show some basic stuff, but they aren't very complex yet in terms of explaining everything you can do

But if you need some help let me know

[fickle glade]

Woohoo!

[atomic bay]

For "Active mod maps are now in the Extras portion of the main menu", does the mapInfo decl allow disabling this? (E.g. a multi-map campaign or secret maps, where only the first map should be selectable.)

[modest obsidian]

Nope, the current behavior for it is just so that one doesn't have to load the maps with the commands. Ill put this on a list as a feature request however.

[fickle glade]

Does the wav to wem converter work properly now?

[fickle glade]

The mapinfo decl just makes the map title show up in the list as opposed to just showing the map filename

[opaque thunder]

Thanks very much. I’m probably going to dive in soon.

[opaque thunder]

This looks like a real nice update. I’m looking forward to using and browsing these tools in idStudio soon.

[modest obsidian]

[ancient shard]

Those tho really caught my attention! 👀

[frosty steeple]

I noticed a couple issues after Update 1.2.0 and I'm not sure if it's on my end only. The music and voices in TAG2 and Horde Mode (only the intro as far as I can tell) are completely missing on the Sandbox version of the game. The sound for holding to confirm certain things like skipping cutscenes and deleting save files is also missing. I have verified files a couple times and made sure I was not using any audio or level mods. I tested the game vanilla and the audio worked correctly.

[rugged marsh]

Its not just you I've been having the same problem

[frosty steeple]

Is there anywhere to report this besides here?

[rugged marsh]

You can try Bethesda.net but it isn't work for me

[frosty steeple]

Oh :(

[frosty steeple]

The sounds for the Health for Blood upgrade are also missing, at least some of them (or maybe only sometimes, I am not sure). The sounds for turrets waking up is also inconsistent.

[prisma vector]

idk if i should mention this but some spawns are also different like that possessed tyrant encounter on the holt

ok maybe not the spawns but the spawns trigger

the possessed tyrant and the other demons spawn right after you press the switch instead of spawning when you reach the side of the aren where they spawn

I don't remember the lore

[atomic bay]

-# @modest obsidian After PC Mod Preview Update 2, I can't open the sandbox ("Play DOOM Eternal with mods"), even without any active mods. The default game still works fine, though.
-# I've verified the game files through Steam (which undoes all of EternalModInjector's changes) twice. Using +logFile 2 as a launch option, I don't see any log file (nor crash report) in "[Documents]/id Software/DOOMSandBox/base/". Using Task Manager, when I click "Play DOOM Eternal with mods", I don't even see "DOOMSandBox64vk.exe" in the process list before it terminates. It didn't work with "Import save profile" disabled, nor enabled.
-# ~~Note that I've right-clicked my "C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\" folder, chosen "Properties" > "Location" > "Move...", and moved it to "D:\Zappy\Windows\Documents\" (years ago). Both the default game and previous sandbox versions were fine with this, and it shouldn't cause problems anyhow, but it's definitely something that differs from most people's setups, so worth mentioning. 🤷 ~~
-# I'm using Windows 10 (21H1, 19043.2364), Intel Core i9-9900K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (v576.80), and 32 gigabytes of RAM. My private messages/DMs are open if necessary.
Edit: User error. I just had a rogue, unintended DLL file in -/steamapps/common/DOOMEternal/doomSandBox/ that caused problems.

---

(Also, potential bug report: The Ancient Gods 2 music and dialogue might be missing in the sandbox?
I wanted to confirm/deny whether The Ancient Gods - Part Two's and Horde's music/dialogue is missing (and other sounds are inconsistent) in the sandbox, and report it if so, because two other people have that issue after the new update. I couldn't get in-game to test it, though.)
Edit: I hear music/dialogue in The Ancient Gods - Part Two, so this is not a universal problem.

[modest obsidian]

Thanks. Looking 👀

[modest obsidian]

👀

[green stag]

is there a doom eternal mod that makes the punch do as much damage as in 2016?

i like using bloodpunch in combos but i wish i could use regular punches too

[prisma vector]

there's already two on the mod-preview branch

[fickle glade]

Can confirm, I have this issue as well

[jaunty verge]

Is loading maps via console command also applies cheat code that are activated from mission select menu?

Also, will the game crashes if I load the mod that requires the dlc that I don't have?

[oak geyser]

No

[oak geyser]

Just give it a try. Not sure if I remember it correctly (I can't test it since I cannot "uninstall/unregister" the DLCs), but I think as long as the map supports being loaded via console commands, it should work fine. And if it requires being loaded via a DLC save, then it will not work as you wouldn't be able to create such saves.

[hidden mason]

how can i make a "slaughter map" for hell on earth

all i want to do is had more demons and ad demons to the castle part at the end

[molten token]

Can someone answer this question for me? Do "refmaps" allow demons to climb platforms or something? I'm not entirely sure how to make my demons climb platforms. Do I have to add traversal nodes to each arena in my level? Isn't there a way to load that from a pack or something?

[rough parrot]

People in the modding hub will be a lot more helpful with that, try to get in contact with some mod creators. If you just want a modified hell on earth play consumed earth or tormented earth

[halcyon stratus]

I can't boot up the game with mods.

First time I tried a popup came up saying a mod couldn't be loaded or something and now the button straight up doesn't do anything.

[hidden mason]

i just want one that has demons at the last castle

[halcyon stratus]

Anyone else having issues?

Man I wish there was a way to save mods in loadlists, I have 20+ mods installed. I'm not dragging and dropping each one individually to see which ones don't work.

[rough parrot]

Both of those do

[light crypt]

anyone know where I can find the eternal weapon SFXes? I need them for my DOOM 3 mod.

[modest obsidian]

Download the asset pack in the Creations Tab in the launcher for Hell On Earth. You can then open the map file in idstudio after you download that pack. Then read up about idstudio - Find the right reference map and add demons and demons and demons. https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/worldbuilding/map-manager/index

[modest obsidian]

See above link for refmaps, it’s how the maps are organized. Traversals are what you need and those are placed

[opaque thunder]

Are traversals just regular idEntities?

[modest obsidian]

It is an entity. They show start and end point for traversal animations (like jumping off a ledge) you can place an AI on the ground and it will follow the nav mesh, but traversals are needed for “here to there” animations for AI.

[opaque thunder]

Is that covered on the wiki anywhere?

[modest obsidian]

The traversal definition is basic, and listed under the entity types page. but here is the page for placing the entities which is probably more helpful. https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/getting-started/entities/placing-entities

Additionally, the asset pack for maps 101 - https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/tutorials/maps-101 Check out Scale_standards.map and ai_path_simple.map for some examples

[opaque thunder]

Much thanks for these demo maps. 🙏🏼

[opaque thunder]

Struggling to figure out how to test a map in idStudio

[opaque thunder]

like i have the asset map and i build it then go into console and type slowmap maps/ai_path_simple.map as an example.

[halcyon stratus]

Even with no mods loaded I still can't launch sandbox Eternal.

I'm reverifying files, see if that does anything.

[halcyon stratus]

That did it. I think I had leftovers of the mod injector in the game's executable that the latest update broke.

A shame, guess I won't be playing with local mods until the injector is updated or those mods are ported over to IS.

[subtle willow]

Any way to run a modded game offline? Since bethesda.net mods are stored locally n all..

[atomic bay]

EternalModInjector is already updated, actually. Make sure that you have the 2025-06-19 version, then run the injector again: https://gamebanana.com/tools/7475

[polar nexus]

wonder how it goes with the full release of mod support. the first release of beta was 10 months ago so it's nearly a year ago

[fallow spruce]

yo so I installed doom eternal via Xbox game pass on my PC and i want to get mods. any tutorial that i search up is for steam and if it says the tutorial is for xbox game pass its really confusing. can i get help with this?

i installed the latest EternalModInjector but havent extracted it into the doom eternal files i have because i dont want to mess up anything

if someone could help me get mods i would greatly appreciate it

[atomic bay]

There are two types of mods: Old, "unofficial" EternalModInjector mods, and new, "official" PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods. If you only want the latter, then you can simply opt into the PC Mod Preview beta, and download and activate mods through the game's new launcher. See the first half of this message: #eternal-modding message

If you still want EternalModInjector, though, then you have to "dump" the game files with UWPDumper, so that you get full access to all of the files, and then install EternalModInjector in there. See here: https://gamebanana.com/posts/10737067

[fallow spruce]

I'm a little confused. What exactly is the Doom Eternal launcher? I may sound a little dumb saying this but what exactly is the launcher?

When I launch Doom Eternal on the Xbox app it just opens the vanilla game. How do I get the launcher to show up?

[atomic bay]

The launcher pops up when you open the game, after opting into the PC Mod Preview. See https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/faq/doom-eternal-mods#how-do-i-opt-in-to-the-microsoft-store-pc-mod-preview for how to opt in.

[fallow spruce]

oh im stupid now i understand it

thanks

wait I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and not the PC game pass

nvm i got it

yea it all makes sense now

[hidden mason]

help my save file for doom eternal isnt loading even tho its here int he files
GAME-AUTOSAVE0

[opaque thunder]

I was looking at the standards map in idStudio and Is there a 1-meter or 1cm interpretation in map units like snapmap uses? Like would 1 meter be 64 units? This was really a question for making snapmaps but if I make a map in Eternal I want to be able to still translate geo standards in 2016.

[frosty steeple]

Any news on fixes for the audio bugs?

[oak geyser]

You may want to chime in on #588020360901951498 message

[atomic bay]

Reposting the linked message in this server for more visibility: PC Mod Preview Update 2 recently released, and some people are having an audio issue specifically with the sandbox/"Play DOOM Eternal with mods" button. If you're opted into the PC Mod Preview beta, you own The Ancient Gods - Part Two, and you'd like to help narrow it down, then please...
- Open Doom Eternal's Launcher, and click "Mods" > "Play Mods" > "Play DOOM Eternal with mods".
- Make sure that music and voice volume is enabled in the game settings.
- Start a new The Ancient Gods - Part Two save.
- Skip the intro cinematic, and move around until The Father speaks.
- Repeat this both with and without active mods in the "Play Mods" page.
- Fill in this information: Is TAG2 music/dialogue audible? [Yes/Only with active mods/Only without active mods/No/Inconsistent] Are you also using EternalModInjector? [Yes/No] Operating system: [Windows 7/10/11, SteamOS 3.7.12, Arch Linux, Ubuntu 24.04, et cetera] RAM: [8 GB/16 GB/32 GB/et cetera] (If Linux) Proton version: [Proton Experimental, Proton 10.0-1, GE-Proton10-4, et cetera] Platform: [Steam/Microsoft Store]
Example:

Is TAG2 music/dialogue audible? Yes
Are you also using EternalModInjector? No
Operating system: Windows 10
RAM: 32 GB
Platform: Steam

It seems that the audio issue is inconsistent, with some sounds sometimes playing and sometimes not, but I think that the people with the issue have it most often with The Ancient Gods - Part Two and Horde music/dialogue.

[atomic bay]

I think that in Doom Eternal, one metre is equal to 1.0 units, very much unlike Doom 2016. Some model/animation names still use 64, 256, et cetera to refer to the "old" distance style, though. I don't know what value you'd scale Doom 2016/Eternal maps by to make them match the other game.

[plush thicket]

Looks good

[flat wave]

Reminds me of hexen

[molten token]

Well after 3 days of testing this I think I need help, how do I make the demons jump platforms? I do it like this, let's see using only the "imp" entity and I have to say that this and "default" worked for me sometimes the imp jumped the platform to the top but then stayed there and didn't move anymore, generally I can only put a start point and an end point, how do I make the demons move around the map and platforms appear and everything normal? (I've seen that everyone does it without problems in their mods and I don't know how to do it) if someone could make a video with 1 or 2 platforms putting the waypoints so I can replicate the same thing I would be very grateful, actually my mod is garbage if I can't do that, I'm happy with the simplest way possible, I just want all the demons equally to chase me throughout the arena and jump or recognize the platforms without staying down, is there any node or way to make it so that all the demons recognize the same thing equally?

Is this the way to do it or how is it done? (I'm usually kind of a fool for these things, if someone could make a mini video putting the points as it should be I would be very grateful) and well, if it's something that requires a lot more work I would also be grateful if you tell me what I'm missing or how to do it correctly (I clarify that I saw the id studio tutorial on the website and I don't understand anything even though I read everything a thousand times)

I mean, they don't have to talk in the video, just by putting the points step by step I can replicate the same thing here and understand how it works just by watching it.

Well, the "default" genpack was apparently only recognized by the imps, and they climbed to the last platform and then they don't move from there even if I move away, they stay there forever haha

In that video I used the traversal points like I did in the first video above and the imps move like that, but I don't think that's the way to do it, I'm not sure.

[topaz fulcrum]

I don't know if this is correct but I load "Everything" instead of the "default" genpack. When placing traversals it adds 1 for every enemy type in the spot I click. You need a traversal onto the platform and another traversal for them to get off.

Look at the grid size in idstudio for that map, found under "grid" (it should be set to the correct one) and youll find your answer.

Hi, I have a question about version control for id tech 7, If I want to set up a repo what files should be included ?, plus If i make a repo with just the map files is that possible ?! or will my pc explode ?

[plush thicket]

You can put only the necessary, like do not include the map building files, and generated if you wanna release the entire mod files, or you can put only the map files and make instructions how to use it, also what assets pack did you use like wad7

scale_guy model will help

I’m confused. I can’t load Snapmap maps in idStudio for Eternal. Or can we? Because that would be pretty sweet.

[plush thicket]

You can't load snapmaps into idstudio

[opaque thunder]

You mean the echo? Yeah I know that I just meant id’s standards. I’m just so use to snapmap before I start making eternal maps I didn’t know if there was any conversion options.

[plush thicket]

There no conversion option in idstudio

I meant load 2016 maps into idstudio idtech 7

[opaque thunder]

I know. I don’t want to do that. I guess I’ll need to stop thinking in units when I build eternal maps.

[plush thicket]

Scale is very important, having the right scaling will make doing art pass easier

You can use also player/start entity to see the scale of the level

[opaque thunder]

Sorry I’m just getting started with idStudio I’m going to do the tutorials soon just a bit daunting making the transition to professional tools. Been reading the wiki a lot.

[plush thicket]

I know starting it the difficult part, start with something basic

[opaque thunder]

Yeah the box map. lol.

[plush thicket]

yeah, Idstudio is powerful tool it the same tool that used to build doom eternal

took me over 1500+ hours to understand it, I also have gameplay design knowledge before idstudio even release

we were using notepad++ to mod the game

Just pure text editing

[tight hinge]

notepad++ my beloved

[plush thicket]

Notepad++ might back to TDA

[opaque thunder]

Does any of the knowledge learned from snapmap/hak carry over to Eternal idStudio. Decl Editor? Or is most everything a placeable entity without needing to use decls? I finally read that there is an entity inspector I just haven’t opened it yet. Still trying to familiarize myself with the interface.

[molten token]

Do you have any photos of the transverse knots from your project so I can see what it looks like in the end? So I can imitate it, haha, and get an idea.

[tight hinge]

a little bit, but I would say eternal notepad++ modding is more similar

most of the decl formats are identical

but you shouldn't expect for it to be similar to snapmap

[opaque thunder]

I’ve been doing snapmap for way too long I need to throw out practically everything in my brain. I don’t expect it to be similar or familiar which is why it’s going to take some time to readjust and be a newb again.

[tight hinge]

yeah it's overwhelming at first, but you'll get the hang of it

I've been working on mine for about 10 months (on and off), and I still haven't made that much progress yet, so you are fine

[fickle glade]

Does anybody know where prefabs are stored?

[rugged marsh]

Hi, I need help here (I'm through the translator, sorry for the mistakes) In general, I play Eternal through Xbox, and the Nexus mod does not see the exe launch, as I understand it, it is in the steam version, because of this the nexus mod does not work

[tight hinge]

how level going?

[fickle glade]

Good, just want to know where prefabs are stored so I can place them

[tight hinge]

you can find them in the asset browser

unless you mean custom ones

[fickle glade]

ok

thx
