show level so I can judge it hehehehe

[fickle glade]

This is how it is so far

I'm calling it UAC Plaza

I want to make Earth levels a lot

[tight hinge]

reminds me of a gas station for some reason

[fickle glade]

lol

[tight hinge]

cool start tho

[fickle glade]

its the roof and pillars on the right huh?

[tight hinge]

yeah lmao

[fickle glade]

Mainly gonna use ARC Complex and SGN assets for this one

[topaz fulcrum]

Here is a super quick example of my workflow.

This is how I do it and there may be better ways out there, but it's very quick to setup an arena and get it playable.

As for how any traversals you need and any best practices, I am not sure. I would need to analyze official maps but here are a few thing things I follow:

1. I avoid overlapping traversals so AI don't run into each other when trying to jump to different places.

2. Depending on the size of the area, have more than 1 way to a platform can be good so that AI all route the exact same way and it helps AI flow more organically (don't go overboard though as for large maps there may be AI pathfinding/performance hits I am not aware of)

3. I like to add traversals to their own reference map, this is so they're easy to work with and easy to delete and redo, especially as I am iterating on a layout I may just delete a bunch of traversals and redo them after geo updates, so having them all in 1 map makes them easy to work with. (Dragging a box around them and using the option to select everything inside the box works wonders)

[molten token]

Man, this is perfect!!! Thanks so much! This brings me so close to finishing my level (the video isn't my level, it's the test map o_dey made to help me, but the platforms seemed perfect for testing this out, haha)

[tight hinge]

This, refmap for traversals is great

[molten token]

I've never used refmaps before. Can I create one at any time? That is, can I create a "reference map" right now just to traverse the point?

[tight hinge]

Wait, don't tell me you have everything on the same refmap

[molten token]

Yes, no, he created "refmaps" hahaha

[topaz fulcrum]

Yep! Under Tools-> Map Manager you can add a new ref map.
Fill in the **Label **field but leave the rest.
You can also toggle these on/off with the checkboxes which is really handy. Also when you load your map you will get a prompt to load different ref maps, this can be useful if you just wanna look at something and don't wanna load everything (art for example)
Ref Maps are not the same as Layers or Groups but might feel similar, but shouldn't be confused.

Official maps use a lot of reference maps. I added a screenshot of Exultias ref maps. Each level is a little different, probably down to the preference of the designers and artists working on it.

Note: They don't have a ref map for Traversals, they often put them in AI or another gameplay ref map. I'd still recommend creating one for them, you can always move them later on.

If you want to move things to another ref map to another you can select what you want to move then right click the reference map you want to move them to and there should be an option to "Move Selected to Map".

[tight hinge]

you really should make them, working with all in the same refmap is pain

here is how I have mine

[hidden mason]

cracked version runs better for dlc some how

left is cracked, right is paid

190fps vs 165fps is a decent diffrence

[molten token]

When I add new "art" entities to my map, in order to see them I have to do a "full map build + local bake" and that takes me at least 14 hours. If I had all my art and entities separated only in a ref map, could I do a full map build only on that ref map? That is, wouldn't it count triggers, clips, nodraw, encounters and everything? Or would the ref maps not be useful for that?

[molten token]

If I create a ref map now called, say, "encounters," can I add my encounters, spawns, and daemons by selecting them like when you add them to a group? But instead, add them to a reference map? I mean, does it work exactly like adding things to a group?

[topaz fulcrum]

Correct, if you uncheck 'Compiles' on the ref map, it will not build anything in there. If you uncheck your lighting map for example, your map will now be pitch black.

[polar nexus]

haven't beaten this in ultra-nightmare, wish me luck 🫡

[hidden mason]

good luck

[topaz fulcrum]

If you separate your map into different areas using reference maps, you can uncheck everything and just check the area you want to build and test.

[molten token]

Oh my god, I can't believe I haven't worked with ref maps before. Luckily, I have 70% of my level added to a group. If I select that group, it will highlight all my entities. If I do that, I 2-click and select "Add to Ref Map," will that work? It would take me less time to add all my art to a ref map.

[topaz fulcrum]

Yep.

If you use version control I would recommend making a backup before you start moving all your stuff around, just to be safe.

[molten token]

Yes, I will do it just before working with "ref maps"

[molten token]

I have created a reference map "traversalpoints" but I don't know how to add the transversal nodes to this ref map, when I click on it for the second time it shows me to add a layer or a group but I don't see anything that says "add to ref map" or something like that.

[tight hinge]

copy the stuff from your main refmap to the other

[molten token]

Could someone make a video copying a single feature from one reference map to another? Only if you can, of course, I'd be very grateful.

[topaz fulcrum]

If you double click the traversalpoint map you will 'activate' that map. and anything you add will live in the traversalpoint map.

If you want to move things to that map, double click the map where you have the entities (samur_lasers) select the traversals or stuff you wanna move, then right click the traversalpoint map and you should see an option to move them to it, then double click the traversalpoint map and you can now edit them

[tight hinge]

bruh, you select the thing, and ctrl + c and ctrl + v to the other refmap, it's that easy

[molten token]

I was able to do it now, I understood, thank you both very much!!!!!

thanks you!

[topaz fulcrum]

Here is a super quick video of the right click option.

There are a ton of traversals so I also added a hellknight and move him to another ref map.

If you use the copy paste route, the naming of those objects may change when you hit paste, while moving them to another ref map using the right click option generally retains their current name unless there is a conflict. This may not be an issue but if you like to have good naming then just keep that in mind.

[tight hinge]

you can also ctrl + c, backspace and ctrl + v on the other refmap, it's faster

[hidden mason]

i need old version of mod injetor

[tight hinge]

another thing that is useful if you work with multiple refmaps, if you want to find something but you don't know which refmap it is, you can do shift, alt, ctrl and left click on an object

[hidden mason]

like the one before rev 3 or whatever

[topaz fulcrum]

That is a huge time saver for sure.

[tight hinge]

this is extremely useful if you are looking at the official levels

[hidden mason]

does anyone have a download link for the old doom injetor

6.66 rev 2

[tight hinge]

you can have the modinjector by actually buying the game

[hidden mason]

i dont like the id one it kinda sucks\

the old one works better

[tight hinge]

@topaz fulcrum you working on a full level?

this is my map's current progress, mostly been reworking stuff

[oak geyser]

Low Gravity Shock Rifle Instagib Deathmatch emulator... don't steal my idea, I quintuple dare each and everyone of you!!!

[tight hinge]

I clearly didn't steal anything from Mars Core, not at all

[molten token]

I like it! How long do you think your map will be until it's published? Is that purple thing like a "camera" item?

[oak geyser]

If the powers at be wouldn't want us to steal stuff from Mars, then why did they make the Slayer yoink the BFG, huh? Exactly, it's another atheist checkmate!

[tight hinge]

No clue how much time it will take as it will be a full length level and I'm slow af, and that camera is a scence director camera

[molten token]

I understand! I've been waiting for a long time for a new full level haha ​​(I really like full levels that aren't just arenas) someone was making a "sub zero" level I'm also waiting for that level, it would be great if someone could order an installable campaign with 8 or 9 of our levels in order, and give it a campaign name and our credits on it, it would feel like a new official eternal campaign

[molten token]

Man, are you working on a level or a full campaign or something like that?

Map progress report

[twin otter]

Hi, couple of questions. Does anyone know if there is a video for the GDQ event that happened? I was very much asleep when it was on.

Secondly, I've looked in the pins and had a Google but are there any recommended guides for how to start modding for eternal?

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah until an update inexplicably deletes your map and then you gotta start over.

[cyan quartz]

Can anyone help me figure out why Eternal keeps softlocking on PC? Ever since the official mod support update, the game softlocks any time I load a checkpoint, or restart a level, be it from the pause menu, or after dying. I own the game on PS4/5, so I can still play it on there without softlocks, but I want the mods I can get on PC. I use both the official mod loader and the old mod injector for mods that haven't been ported to the official one.

[polar nexus]

damn son!

[mighty scroll]

guys, i bought the one year pass and it does not includes the campaing... does the mod injector works on that version?

[flat wave]

Did you buy the base game?

[mighty scroll]

nope, is my first time buying something on steam and i picked the one year pass

[flat wave]

Then yeah you need to buy the base game

[molten token]

I have a question: If I deactivate a map and only have one ref map "active" with those two tickets, when I do a full map build + local bake, will it only render that selected ref map? Or will it render my entire map?

[atomic bay]

guys, i bought the one year pass and it does not includes the campaing... does the mod injector works on that version?
Yes, and I assume that PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods also work. See #eternal-modding message for both EternalModInjector and PC Mod Preview instructions.

nope, is my first time buying something on steam and i picked the one year pass
If you bought the Year One Pass by mistake (and less than two weeks ago), and you've played the game for less than two hours, you can request a refund: help dot steampowered dot com/en/faqs/view/784C-923B-A4A1-C825
-# (This server doesn't allow "help dot steampowered dot com" links, so you'll have to input the URL manually. 🤷)
A reason like "I meant to purchase the game's Deluxe Edition instead" (or "Standard Edition") is perfectly valid by Steam.

[oblique dirge]

Is there a new version of the mod injector by any chance like an update? I think I have a old one.

[atomic bay]

The latest version is from 2025-06-19: https://gamebanana.com/tools/7475

I have a idea but I don't know how to mod the idea is a classic doom mod where you can't look up or down and can only shoot from the middle like in the classic doom games

[golden jasper]

how do i play level mods

[maiden goblet]

will idStudio have a future to create content for upcomming Quake/Doom multiplayer?

please say "yes"

[tight hinge]

idStudio 7 only works for games made with idStudio 7, not for upcoming games

[maiden goblet]

but the editor will surely look the same, right?

[tight hinge]

probably, but I don't know if they are planning on releasing tools for next games

[maiden goblet]

id should though

maybe a new Quake?

[tight hinge]

eh, I wouldn't get my hopes up on new Quake games, since Doom is easily more profitable

Doom Eternal plays very similar to Quake already

[oblique dirge]

Is there release other stuff in this engine your computer will be overloaded with assets. It be insane how much you would have to download.

[maiden goblet]

should we get our hopes up, for multiplayer mode for Doom the Dark Ages?

[tight hinge]

no lol

[neon mango]

No.

[maiden goblet]

rly!?

[neon mango]

They're not making a multiplayer.

[maiden goblet]

darn

remaster Quake III Arena?

[neon mango]

I'm pretty sure they're sticking to DOOM.
They're probably already thinking of making the next game.

[maiden goblet]

it's a pity, as Doom was a groundbreaking multiplayer game, back in the days

[maiden goblet]

what about this, guys >> https://www.purexbox.com/news/2025/06/nightdive-studios-teases-big-thing-happening-at-quakecon-2025

[neon mango]

That's a different studio.

Not id.

[maiden goblet]

true that

[neon mango]

I think if they're handing it off, 100%, they're not going to think about Quake, they're focused on primarily DOOM.
I'm going to stop talking about this though here because this isn't the channel for it, if you want to keep talking about it, we can talk in #general.

[maiden goblet]

ok. thanks

[halcyon stratus]

Quake 4 hopefully.

Curious, anyone tried swapping the default SSG model with the Marauder's?

I desperately wanna see DOOM 1 & 2 remade as Eternal mods...

[muted bobcat]

[molten token]

Well "I think" no one answered me, if I create a new "ref map" and add fun static entities to that ref map, when I rebuild collision they are not seen, but if I deactivate the other maps and only leave this new ref map active with those entities and click "full map build + local bake" starting to compare all the reff maps? Or just the one selected? I got the impression that it started compiling absolutely everything! How can I do it to create a new reference map with entities and only make a full map to build that reference map? I mean, when doing that, will they stop having created the collisions of the other ref maps? I'm having a lot of problems with this.

[molten token]

let's see. what I want is to take the entire nav and some static func entities to a ref map separate from my map, in which I can use "full map + local bake" and then rebuild compilation + navigation, and this only affects my new ref map, not my full map with all the triggers entities light points, is this possible somehow? or when doing full map + local bake will it drag everything? according to what I read, they become totally independent maps, but I don't know how to do it to create them and make them independent of my central map, should I change the name in output path? someone help me please haha

[oblique dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-impressive-very-nice-coping-patrick-bateman-gif-26518058

[tight hinge]

I'm not sure what is confusing you, if all the refmaps have the "Compile" toggle on, it will bake it

[molten token]

if you notice I first activated only the ref maps that had the platforms on the sides, and I put collision + navigation and it worked, but if I then deactivate them and activate everything in the center, when I rebuild collision + navigation now the ones in the center work but not the ones on the sides, so there is no way to make the nav little by little? that is my question, I have a very large map (which is not this one, it is Heaven Ascent) and I would like to rewrite the nav by sections, but if I rewrite a new section, the previous one is reset as seen in this video or am I doing something wrong?

[tight hinge]

just check every option and compile it, no reason to do it little by little

everytime you only compile specific ones, when you try to compile the other ones it will be overwritten

[molten token]

Look, my map "Heaven Ascent" I spent 56 hours compiling the nav (today at 2 in the afternoon I had to cancel it or it was going to the 4th day since it got stuck at 0% without advancing for at least 6 hours straight) so I assumed that my nav is TOO HUGE because it hadn't happened to me before, that's why I want to compile it little by little and that way it detects which part of the nav is taking a long time or something like that

[tight hinge]

56 hours to build nav? Mine takes 20 seconds

[molten token]

That's why I want to know if it's possible to compile the nav little by little with ref maps, or if it really IS NOT possible and I don't know what to do haha

[tight hinge]

what specs do you have?

[molten token]

exactly 😦 I put rebuild collision + navigation and it took me 56 hours to compile, I tried it a day before but after 2 days I also had to cancel it, when I published the map "heaven ascent" at Christmas it took 9 hours of full map build + local bake and 6 hours of "rebuild collision + navigation" I don't really know why it now takes 56 hours, I added quite a few entities to the nav but not so much that it now takes more than double or triple or more in reality

[molten token]

and nvidia GTX 1660 super

[tight hinge]

did you add only clip brushes to the nav group?

[molten token]

Well not really, some static func too and the huge tree in the center of my level haha ​​but mostly I didn't add many static func after I published it at Christmas, actually I added more clip brushes

[tight hinge]

only add clip brushes to the nav group, nothing else

[molten token]

think that in my heaven ascent level that I published at christmas, I had like 500 static func added to the nav (since I won't use clip brushes) and now I removed 90% of those from my nav and added clip brushes and it gives me this error, I don't understand what the problem is, I'll try to simplify it as much as I can, really isn't there a way to create the nav little by little or by sections? how do they do it to remake several arenas? do they compile the whole nav together or by sections?

[tight hinge]

You will have to use clip brushes if you want to do proper clipping man

I think the reason why it's taking so long is because you are trying to create clipping in objects which have very complex clipping and is not being done by brushes

[molten token]

that's what I did in the end, I replaced those static func with clip brushes, I left the "content filter" disabled for the player and the demons, the only thing I find "strange" is that now I have less than 20% of static func added to the nav than I had before and it took so long, anyway if "there is" no way to compile the nav little by little, I will have no choice but to make sure to leave only clip brushes, the bad thing about not having worked with ref maps before is that I have like 100000 entities added to the nav including clip brushes and it's going to be a headache

[tight hinge]

Bruh

Wtf did you add to the nav group?

No wonder why it's taking 56 hours, 100000 entities in the nav group?

[molten token]

Let's see, I'll try to open it and record something or put photos.

[tight hinge]

Don't tell me you added every single static model to the nav group

[molten token]

Well, it was to give a big number hahaha but it's probably around 6 thousand or something like that (I'll have to see)

I'm sure I removed the static models that I replaced with clip brushes instead, added them to a "remove clip" group and set them to remove from clip group.

[molten token]

Well, actually, I have a lot of static functions, hahahahaha

[tight hinge]

💀 💀 💀

As I said, only put clip brushes on the nav group

Not only that, you should use clip no areas in places where demons can't use nav, like vertical brushes and all that

[molten token]

And how can I replace trees with paintbrushes? It seems almost impossible.

[tight hinge]

What type of clip brush are you using?

[molten token]

this

[tight hinge]

remove all the static models from the nav group and add the clip to them in the contents thing in the entity inspector to have player clip and monster clip for now

then try to build nav and see if it takes as long as it normally takes

[molten token]

I didn't understand

I just need to remove all the "static func" from my navigation and try to compile the navigation to see if it takes less time now?

[tight hinge]

correct

[molten token]

it's a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think of it before, I'll try it (but even so I think it would take a few hours, maybe I won't respond until tomorrow hahaha)

[tight hinge]

not to sound mean or anything, but I think it's also taking a long time to compile it because the map is not scaled properly, it's way too big compared to the slayer scale, you should use scale_guy model for your next project if you plan on doing it

[molten token]

I don't really know what "scale_guy" is, I hadn't heard of that

[tight hinge]

scale_guy is a model that you can use to know the size of the slayer compared to the map

you'll see how huge the map is compared to it

[molten token]

But what is that? Is it built into id studio? Is it something from the injector mod or something?

[tight hinge]

go to add new model and search scale_guy

[molten token]

Well, I have to say that I had never made a mod before and I learned how to use it in August of last year, I don't really know much beyond what I've asked in this group before.

Sure, it looks like an "ant" or "bug" character, at least it gives it a Toystory or Army Men feel haha.

It looks very small in reality, I have to say that I would have to see a similar photo of a well-done project to calculate sizes as well.

[tight hinge]

I could give you an example of my level once I get home

[molten token]

Okay, that would be great! I'll be waiting for that (I've already removed the static functions from the nav)

[tight hinge]

did that improve build time?

[molten token]

I'll see it now, if I don't answer again it's because it's compiling

[molten token]

lol, I'm back now, it actually took much less time (although I must say that I now recompiled 20% of all entities) but there were at least 2 thousand clip brushes, so at least now I know that replacing each static function with a clip will fix the problem (but from what I saw I think it was mainly the trees) thank you very much!

Now I can go to sleep until tomorrow and I will continue working on my level.

[tight hinge]

so it compiled in minutes?

[molten token]

thank you!!!

[molten token]

Yes, like 10 minutes haha

[tight hinge]

@simple moth You don't get enough praise for the classic Doom overhaul mod. Shit kicks ass.

[halcyon stratus]

I love finding bugs in maps that fuck with my game after 20+ attempts at clearing them.

The first 3 Marauders that appear on Proteh's map after clearing the first wave have no fodder on maintain so you're just fucked. And no one's gonna fix it so I just wasted my time playing something unbeatable.

Get the fuck out. Yes I'm on tilt.

[polar nexus]

i wonder how it goes with the full version of levithian made by @plush thicket

[plush thicket]

Art pass Complety finished

Gonna try to release it with my new map that working on it rn, like 2 Levels in 1 Mod

[polar nexus]

I'll be waiting, good work

[polar nexus]

this looks cool

[oblique dirge]

Love it!!!

[halcyon stratus]

Killer as fuck. Love it.

Man y'all are goated at detailing. Really making the art direction in this game truly pop.

[tight hinge]

would be nice to see more people work on levels tho

[halcyon stratus]

Unfortunately I only have 16gb of RAM on my rig and so idStudio is very resource intensive. I'm looking into upgrading to 32 so I can do more stuff without running into pitstops, VRChat for instance is very crash happy with anything under that.

I've been meaning to make an exploration-based nonlinear map ala classic Doom or 2016's Foundry but never got around to it, and the proof of concept I had worked up months ago got corrupted somehow.

#eternal-modding message

On the other hand, starting out with assets instead of brush blockouts was probably a bad idea and the map would've taken me forever to finish that way.

[tight hinge]

I would definetly recommend with blockouts first

[halcyon stratus]

Fuck you VEGA.

[tight hinge]

Here's the blockout I've done for my next section of my map

[halcyon stratus]

Looks nifty as hell. I find it interesting how monochrome the textureset you're using is, probably intended to be complimented via ambient/colored lighting like Doom 64.

[tight hinge]

Mostly to fit the blue theme of the map, but I'll probably will change the colors a bit once I get to the second part of the level

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah, again Doom 64 made it work with colored lighting, you should be able to change that with ease.

When I get around to it I'll make my maps dark and broody like 2016 but with a full range of color instead of orange and reds.

[weak canopy]

I'd play that ngl

[brazen jacinth]

Looks like if mars core was a level in 2016, love it

[tight hinge]

mars core at home

[tight hinge]

I like how you think it looks like 2016, since this is meant to be a prequel level between both games

[weak canopy]

@analog verge

Thanks

[polar nexus]

is everything completed or is it still in the development?

[tight hinge]

not even close lol

I do plan on trying to make a playable demo this year atleast

[polar nexus]

aight, good luck

[tight hinge]

trust me, I'm working very hard on it to make the best level I can, but it will take a long time, it's very time consuming

[polar nexus]

full release of mod support will be easier and more reliable

[tight hinge]

uh that won't speed up the process lol

[jaunty verge]

So unmodded eternal and eternal sandbox uses saves seperately, right? so what if I put modded save into og one?

[prisma vector]

You can now import save files to sandbox since the last update

[atomic bay]

The save data/format should be the same; one is just encrypted while the other isn't. I haven't heard of anyone doing it, but I assume that you can basically do https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/0-idstudio/page/copy-save-profiles-to-sandbox in reverse, and that it would just work.

[halcyon stratus]

Not really. What they should work on is implementing proper documentation on how to create new AI from scratch as well as havok ragdolls, physics and whatnot but afaik that's all proprietary.

The mod tools are fully usable as is right now, if you know your way around Radiant you should breeze through IDS.

[tight hinge]

you use material remap for it

kinda late but eh

[halcyon stratus]

Better nate than lever.

Surprised there isn't a mod that restores the dynamic lights on weapon fire. 2016 had weapon muzzleflashes light up the environment, Eternal and TDA got rid of the feature.

[weak canopy]

Wait, really? I never even saw that change

2016 didn't have a thousand effects running at once so they sticked with detail and quality

Eternal and TDA both have alot of resource-intensive(correct me if I'm an idiot) effects and models, making the beautiful muzzleflash hard to see

so they've probably scrapped it for better performance

[halcyon stratus]

It's especially weird since TDA has forced raytracing so they either went out of their way to get rid of it or just forgot to reenable it from DE.

[sick crown]

yeah it seems like they either disabled raytracing intentionally for performance or it was overlooked when porting from DE

[oblique dirge]

It’s nice to see you, Doom Slayer welcome

[tight hinge]

started to decorate this part (still wip)

[plush thicket]

still wip

[polar nexus]

i like how they cook

[polar nexus]

[plush thicket]

[oblique dirge]

My bad but still you’re just having fun. There’s nothing wrong with that.

[plush thicket]

It weird man

[molten token]

Can anyone tell me what those golden pogo sticks are used for? I mean, is it a trigger for something or a "volume" that's placed around them so the Slayer can swing or jump on them?

[plush thicket]

Oh you talking about the monkey bar

what you trying to do here ??

[molten token]

I don't know the exact name but I think that's it, that golden bar that the player jumps over like a monkey haha

this

Is some volume or something added to that static func for the player to grab onto? Or is some property inside the static func just activated?

[waxen nymph]

He guys

Question

What are the limits when it comes to doom eternal modding?

[unborn jungle]

No clue tbh, i think its just what your pc or console can handle

Or until the game stops working

Lol

[waxen nymph]

is it possible to add custom AI with new models and animations?

[unborn jungle]

I have no clue sorry

I don't really mod any of my games, I'm on ps5

So I just play the base game

[tight hinge]

You can, but there are still limitations, you can't create custom ragdolls yet

I was working on porting the Hellrazer, it has been painful

[waxen nymph]

Oh ok

[tight hinge]

search for vault when adding a new entity

[rotund ore]

Who cares????

[oblique dirge]

See there you go somebody agrees with me

[plush thicket]

You can post whatever you want, but in my messages don't reply to me with weird stuff

[plush thicket]

ok, making this will be kinda tricky but I will make prefab and send to you

@molten token No need for prefab it easy to make

1. You need to create new entity Right Click=>New Entity/Trigger/vault.
2. Go to rendermodel of vault trigger entity Go to rendermodel==>Model==>Choose the vault model which Called="arena_navigation_a_swing"
3. Build the map and monkey bar should work.

what is this?

[oak geyser]

The batch files belong to the DOOM 64 CE mod... no idea what that person tried to do here exactly, but it should probably be cleaned up by <@&162901871168585728>

Yeah I'm not too keen on modding eternal or 64, but batch files are immediately suspcious

@small narwhal None of that please

[polar nexus]

good advantage to cut clean in half with the chainsaw

[tight hinge]

uhhh, right....

I might need to fix that problem, the tentacle isn't ready for glory kill animations

[tight hinge]

this isn't tecnically possible to do with an encounter manager, but I found a workaround for it

[ancient shard]

Testing with lighting and possibly making custom 3D modular kit for this small room.

Not yet.
(The audio bug in question: #eternal-modding message - Whether or not you, the reader, experience the bug, it'd be nice to get more responses to that message.)

Also

I'm trying to generate nav for the stairs (I'm adding a clip so players can properly go up it), but its not generating. Any help?

[plush thicket]

Nav will not generate in this type of ramps

[fickle glade]

Wdym?

Which kind of material should I use?

[plush thicket]

Not a material, the ramp need to smaller then that

Did add that clip to nav group ??

[fickle glade]

yes I did

but I want the player to smoothly walk up the stairs, so I added that clip

[plush thicket]

The curve is too high so the studio consider it as wall that why it not generate the nav

give me a sec will send an example

[fickle glade]

yknow what I'm just gonna make new stairs altogether

[plush thicket]

You see the ramp in right was able to build the nav on it, the one in left didn't build because ramp angle kinda high

[fickle glade]

ok cuz I have another ramp and it did build nav

[plush thicket]

did work ??

will do a video anyway, A short tutorial but very useful to worth with brushes and work in grid

A new map has finally come out! I saw it and didn't hesitate to pass it on, it was great.

[fickle glade]

Agreed, fun map!

[oblique dirge]

you get 167fps now

Also, here is the map. I hope somebody uses this one day for inspiration or something. If you wanna know how I made this here you go I will not be using it anymore. There are some other maps in there and block out maps so if anybody’s interested in other stuff or trying to learn something, feel free to look in there maybe there’s something in there that can help you.

By the way, I love the stuff in there is very mixed up and unorganized so I’m sorry for that. This is just a test. I will not be organizing that to be honest with you. Have fun with it🙏

[plush thicket]

You can't determined how much performance you will get in the engine, until you do lightmap bake, and PVS optimization

[oblique dirge]

my bad that what i got

[plush thicket]

It ok just telling you, the performance will be better after the full bake

[molten token]

What is PVS optimization? I don't really know anything about optimization

👀

[plush thicket]

PVS, is the Umbra optimization

[plush thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfCRHSIg6zo

[molten token]

Is there any guide on that in idstudio tutorials?

[plush thicket]

When you do a full build for a map, the build wizard automatically optimize the level for you doing the PVS, but sometimes there an areas you need to add umbra volumes manually

[molten token]

mmm when I use "dev checkpoints" in some level I have noticed that the places where you go start to load or take a while to load, if you travel in "noclip" they do not load until you deactivate "noclip" again in the console, and I have noticed that when I do that in my level the same does not happen, in my level all the textures and entities are always loaded, does that have something to do with this issue?

[plush thicket]

Yeah that the PVS, you need to preview the level as slowcombomap that will show the full build version of the map, just check every area if has culling issue put a umbra volume and rebuild the PVS in build wizard

Look at campaign levels the umbra refmap

in future me and friend we will make a tutorial of idstudio very advanced stuff

[molten token]

I'm really looking forward to those tutorials haha

[tight hinge]

I love slop

[fickle glade]

Doom Etenal is good now

It’s infinitely more fun

[molten token]

Man, I was trying to make a skybox with something like 265475223 clouds , thinking that Urdak's skybox had 4,000 entities to create the background, and I just realized it was just a photo using dynamic clouds. Hahaha, I would have easily saved myself 3 or 4 months of work.

I'd wager saying that's probably why some of your mods make my PC wanna die. :U

[halcyon stratus]

King shit, I love that self-stomp GK.

If only ragdolls worked. Could we theoretically have 2016's GKs ported over then?

[tight hinge]

yes, if you manage to fix the slayer animations lmao

Revenant sucks when it comes to exporting animations from 2016

[halcyon stratus]

Interesting that the animations don't transfer over easily, I would assume both versions of the Slayer model use similar rigging.

Since it's just a pair of disembodied arms.

[tight hinge]

they do, but the exported .cast animations are just terrible

[halcyon stratus]

I see. So they work in theory, Revenant is just crappy at exporting stuff?

[tight hinge]

so doing a simple Rokoko retarget doesn't work

[tight hinge]

yeah

[halcyon stratus]

I see. I can't comment on that so forgive my ignorance. It just looks really neat and that's what matters.

[tight hinge]

thanks, I'll see if I can do the rest of them

[halcyon stratus]

Peak.

[tight hinge]

chainsaw ones might get complicated

[halcyon stratus]

Probably, no way to know til then. Hopefully it's easier than it sounds.

[tight hinge]

go ahead

o_dey was the one who helped me with the slayer animations, bro's a genius

[halcyon stratus]

He did really good, it looks almost official.

[tight hinge]

next step is making a custom hellrazer mesh with Eternal's wounds

[fickle glade]

BRO

[fickle glade]

ID! ADD HAVOK RAGDOLL CREATION TO IDSTUDIO, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

[north hemlock]

you can mod doom eternal????

damn ive been living under a rock

[swift lintel]

on pc yes

[halcyon stratus]

I may be misremembering, but isn't the knee to the face -> punch GK already in the game?

[oak geyser]

It's a little bit different, the 2016 one is "grab" and fist clenching while kneeing the monster in the chin, and in Eternal it's knee to the chin while the right arm is swinging back for the punch.

[halcyon stratus]

I see. I like both versions equally, one is more 'come here you bitch' the other is a little more casual about how painful it is. Like break your jawbone and move on.

You know what would be fucking awesome? The cut GKs from 2016. There's one where you shoot an imp in the chest with the CSG that got cut probably because what if the player has no shotgun ammo, how the hell did you magic a single shell out of the air.

Iirc a number of years back elizabethany was working on prototypes of the environmental imp GKs where you smashed its head into the wall, but nothing came of it.

[tight hinge]

I was looking at the files, and there was this cut gk with a grenade on the possessed soldier

[halcyon stratus]

Does DE have any cut ones?

[tight hinge]

Not sure, but I'm not going to use Eternal ones for Hellrazer, their skeletons are different, and if I try to use Rokoko for the Hellrazer animations, his mesh will be stretched due to the skeleton size difference

Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with 2016 ones

[halcyon stratus]

I see, that's understandable.

I was just curious.

[tight hinge]

I'll see if I can find something else

Regardless, if anyone is good enough at making animations, fully custom gks are possible

[halcyon stratus]

I've been thinking of commissioning a 3D animator to do a weapon animation overhaul. Or better yet, port over 2016's models and animations.

I'm not sure what it'll cost but I've forked up $300 for a VRC model, money's not a problem. I just gotta find one. As well as someone interested in fiddling with IDS.

We'll see. :U

[tight hinge]

When you mean models, you mean static or animated?

[halcyon stratus]

Animated! Things like the greebles and moving pieces from things like the reactor on the Gauss Cannon or the Skullcrusher in TDA.

I'm currently busy with work of my own so I can't oversee something like that at the moment, but I should be free in a month. Then I'll see if I can find someone.

[atomic bay]

@rugged marsh When you say that The Ancient Gods - Part Two music/dialogue is missing with mods, are you using Evan115117's "Air control always on" mod? If not, which mods are you using?

(For reference, that mod is improperly packaged. It's only supposed to contain eight or nine perks decls, but it also has some unintentional resources, including sounds and even sound metadata. If I use that mod, then TAG2 music/dialogue is missing for me.)

[rugged marsh]

I'm also using Glory kill overhaul, Fallen angel weapon pack, Stronger Unmakyr, and Poses Unrestricted through the modinjector

[verbal thunder]

Hi is there a fix for dark age praetor suit?

The left hand and doom blade is invisible

[ancient shard]

I mean, i might be ignorant in this regard, but i think you can make a ragdoll.

I THINK, Doesn´t mean it will work.]

[fickle glade]

How?

[tight hinge]

There is no ragdoll generation right now

[ancient shard]

On the animated model, there is the option to "Load Ragdoll" and the ragdolls seems to need a defined by a rig.

[tight hinge]

Eternal uses Havok which is licensed

[ancient shard]

Nheee, so...we just sit and cry and hope that Id can get their hands on Havok Physics tools...

[tight hinge]

Pretty much

[verbal thunder]

?

[ancient shard]

You mean the skin mod for Doom Eternal?

[verbal thunder]

Yes

The left hand specially on that skin mod

The hand is missing and so is the doom blade

[ancient shard]

Unfortanally idk man, i think it might a bug on the mod tho.

Sorry,

[tight hinge]

I don't want to sound mean, but I don't think the guy who makes those mods really tests them

[verbal thunder]

Dang it

[ancient shard]

Btw, yeah i was probably drunk or high, there isnt nothing relatable with rig or shi like that.

[tight hinge]

Yeah guess we will just have to wait for <insert unknown amount of time>

[ancient shard]

But, when i press "Load Ragdoll" it loads it. it is something allready.

[tight hinge]

That's probably because he already has a havok file for it

[ancient shard]

We have to wait more than GTA6 xD.

[tight hinge]

Not sure if it detects an articulated figure or something

[ancient shard]

They should make something like Valve did with Source Plug-ins in Blender.

you could create an ragdoll physics.

[tight hinge]

We'll have to see

[ancient shard]

Only time will tell. but it is there!

[fickle glade]

Yeah, his work is hit or miss

[ancient shard]

also, i found where all the Rigs are located, but nothing really concrete about Ragdoll.

and you can even make new ones tho.

[tight hinge]

Ragdoll is articulatedFigure

And inside of those files you can see them reference a .hk file

[ancient shard]

Yeah, it is then a Physic generator that the engine it self handles without exterior softwares.

But also weird, considering that when you create a new rig, it says that the Physics are not setup correctly.

Btw another screenshot but with other model.

[fickle glade]

Maybe you could make the hellrazer use the soldier's .hk file?

Just a thought

[tight hinge]

I've tried, doesn't work because it uses a different skeleton

[tight hinge]

Some new screenshots on the next section of the level

[halcyon stratus]

Looks terrific.

[flat wave]

For some reason this reminds me of lazarus labs from 2016

[plush thicket]

Custom door, required a redkey, no trigger or relay used, editing from the entitydef

now we need the rest

[rugged prism]

2018 HUD looked so clean, wish we got an official one but oh well, modders to the rescue

[rugged prism]

Would it be possible to add Mr sharky from TAG1 to one of your levels? A massive swimming pool and thunderstorm in the background

[plush thicket]

shark swim in lava, would look good

[rugged prism]

Hehe

[whole cedar]

working on it

[halcyon stratus]

Having the 2018 QC HUD with Eternal's default UI would be so weird.

[wispy zealot]

@whole cedar check this one https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/details/10ac80b4-7e70-4e6f-83ae-ed773016bf6b/DOOM_2016___Quakecon_2018_Fonts

[brisk jungle]

anyone know if there's a modded maykr version of the Praetor suit?

[flat wave]

That would be cool, also I don't think that exists yet, sorry

[brisk jungle]

oop thank you anyways!

[halcyon stratus]

Is there documentation on how to make custom automap info?

So far every custom map lacks an automap function, it's all just black.

One would assume it would create the required info automatically based on volumes but apparently it has to be manually created?

[whole cedar]

apparently it's its own 3d model generated from idstudio's export wizard which is then manually cleaned up in something like blender

no idea what youre supposed to do after that

[oak geyser]

It doesn't, no, as Alvaro said they are actual separate models that one has to build. There is a function in idStudio to export/generate an automap, but that basically just exports the nav mesh.

#eternal-modding message

[halcyon stratus]

Right so every other bit of detail in the map has to be manually created via fbx? Like archways and such?

[oak geyser]

Unless the geometry in your map has that exact shape that you'd wanted it to have in the automap, yes, you would have to create it yourself.

[wispy zealot]

?

wonder if there is a way to replace the weapon wheel ui

or the boxes around text

[oak geyser]

There is. Depending on what exactly you'd wanted to change about it, you'd either need to modify textures, or SWF's.

[tight hinge]

I know how to make it

there's a command to generate an automap model

I think it is automap_generate if I'm not mistaken, it will build an automap model according to the nav for your level

then you would have to create an automap decl and reference it in your map

however, you would most likely have to modify it outside of the game, probably Blender to make it look good

[fickle glade]

So, I see that Alvaro's making a QC2018 Custom HUD, what tools would be needed to make a custom HUD?

[oak geyser]

Depends on what exactly the custom HUD should look and behave like. Changes like the ones in Alvaro's mod require SWF modding, for which you'd either need a tool for editing compiled SWF files (for example JPEXS), and/or a tool to actually fully author SWF files (for example Adobe Flash).

The latter is what I've personally been doing so far for custom HUD elements, JPEXS to decompile the game's SWF's and to convert them to FLA, and then edit them with Adobe Flash.

[fickle glade]

Let's say I wanna make a TF2 style HUD

Would it be possible to just take TF2's HUD textures, convert them to flash files, and then turn them into swfs?

[oak geyser]

No, SWF is an interactive media format, with layers, sprites, timelines, scripting, etc. For example the whole health, armor, rad suit etc part is a single SWF, with a variety of textures, animations, etc.

[whole cedar]

so turning the swf files into fla doesnt break stuff like scripts?

[oak geyser]

Depends on the decompiler, but generally there is no reason for it to break, no, all the instructions are present in a reversible form.

[fickle glade]

Dang

[whole cedar]

i bet a tf2 styled hud would be possible, only difficult thing would be the health cross

[fickle glade]

Y'know, since Doom 3 BFG uses SWF, I bet you could port Doom 3's HUD

[wispy zealot]

?

what would be the best method to import a custom hud

[oak geyser]

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but again, depends. What does "import a custom hud" mean to you exactly in technical terms?

[whole cedar]

i mean all im doing is replacing images, moving stuff around and changing some text

i MIGHT learn how to use adobe flash for this kind of stuff

[oak geyser]

I'm confused, are you Doctor Hayden?

[whole cedar]

totally not

[oak geyser]

alright alright, I was just getting confused whether that was an answer to my reply there 🙃

[halcyon stratus]

I think we can work together, and

RESOOOOOLVE

This problem in a way that benefits... us both.

[halcyon stratus]

Wasn't there a video of proof of concept of a classic Doom HUD?

[fickle glade]

Resoos

[oak geyser]

Who would do such a stupid thing, smh 😔 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kBmN1mBS58

[swift lintel]

one sec guys

[plush thicket]

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

[fickle glade]

Did you ever keep pursuing this?

[oak geyser]

I did, my goal was actually to create templates that would break free from the SWF structure that the game basically enforces because it targets specific sprites, frames, labels, and textfields in a hardcoded manner, but unfortunately there were problems that are currently unresolvable, for example it's not possible to detect when you actually obtain something like for example the chainsaw or the radsuit, the game immediately sends the respective sprites in the SWF to the "you have the thing" state, even though you don't actually have the thing, and there is no way for the SWF to detect that you don't actually have the thing, the game will simply not "render" the relevant sprites until you finally pick up the items.

It's still absolutely possible to finish this, but I would have to completely overhaul it, press everything into the existing hierarchy of the original HUD SWF's and what not, which really put me off at the time, and so I did put it on a backburner, down in the basement of an abandoned, haunted hospital.

[halcyon stratus]

Yeah haha this would so funny if it was real.

[halcyon stratus]

Lovin it. Nice crusher room.

[plush thicket]

There more stuff in that room now 👀

[ancient shard]

I think there is a way to make it, but i think you should need a 3D software. (Like Blender or 3DS Max/Maya)

[ancient shard]

Hold up! You can do that???

[tight hinge]

yeah you can

but the rest has to be done manually

[ancient shard]

Intressting...i wanna try to experiment with that tho.

[modest obsidian]

Automap documentation is a popular request so im prioritizing that.

[halcyon stratus]

Let's fucking go.

[tight hinge]

[ancient shard]

LEETS DO THIS!

[ancient shard]

Gaming mapauto.

[halcyon stratus]

I love how ever since I voiced out my intention of hiring modelers and mappers to do stuff I've been getting DMs from scammers.

[ancient shard]

The scammer ChatGPTs are going crazy this days! Can't even take a break before seeing some DM solicitation or Friend Request from bots.

[plush thicket]

already got scammer emails from artstation I got like 20 when I start my account back in march

[whole cedar]

so apparently the ice bomb cooldown uses the exact same set of sprites as the flamebelch cooldown in "hud_weaponinfo.swf", which means its position is relative to the flamebelch, is there ANY way to move these cooldown bars independently or is this yet another hardcoded thing?

[ancient shard]

Wait...you are restoring the Quakecon 2018 HUD???!

THANK YOU! 🙏❤️

[tight hinge]

Comic book secrets

[whole cedar]

LOL thats awesome, is that an entire model swap or is it decl editing?

[tight hinge]

new model but the textures already existed

[oak geyser]

They are different instances of the same symbol/sprite. If you'd wanted to change only one of them, then you'd have to make that one an instance of a different symbol/sprite (could simply be a copy of the original symbol), what matters for the game is that the layer/name structure doesn't change.

[oblique dirge]

working on someing big its a lvl btw

i will make a vid seen on it

[halcyon stratus]

Love the vibes.

Very TDA.

[polar nexus]

I didn’t know you get to add secrets 👀

[drowsy tartan]

Hello slayers

[polar nexus]

what’s good?

[drowsy tartan]

How do I mod

Hello

[tight hinge]

I'm adding a bunch of them on my level

custom vinyls, toys, comic books, etc

[polar nexus]

I also don’t know how to mod, just checking to see how everything is going. ask someone else

[polar nexus]

cool

[drowsy tartan]

Thank you

Good night

[oblique dirge]

do you need help?

[brisk jungle]

is there like a command i can enter once to basically go "whenever a level is loaded, give the player the sentinel hammer"
rather than having to enter the give hammer command each level load?

i haven't been able to find it anywhere
unless it involves writing a txt file

[atomic bay]

The closest that you can get would be either something like bind W "RemoveInventoryItem weapon/player/crucible; give weapon/player/crucible; _moveforward" to make the W key give you the Sentinel Hammer whenever you move (which is probably not the best idea), or making a mod that modifies all devInvLoadout decls to include the Sentinel Hammer (which would conflict with other mods that also contain devInvLoadout decls).

The second-closest would be something like bind P "RemoveInventoryItem weapon/player/crucible; give weapon/player/crucible", followed by pressing P once after loading a map, but it's not quite automatic.

[brisk jungle]

honestly
that's pretty close enough, thank you!

[molten token]

Who can decide how to protect the "World Spear" pack? Download the World Spear asset. When I see a -SP game and only see these two but the World Spear doesn't appear, do I search elsewhere? Or does anyone know why the map isn't showing up?

[molten token]

Nooooooooo, I liked the whole skybox, now I'll have to do it manually but I'm sure some things won't be the same haha 🙁

[fickle glade]

@modest obsidian Ey what changed in the update?

Oh shit, new UI!

[modest obsidian]

one moment, final checks on something then ill post the notes

[modest obsidian]

Release notes here: https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/release-notes/2025/07/31/update-3

[whole cedar]

ok it took long enough to understand what you meant but i finally got it 😭 tysmmm

[queen fern]

hello to the people

i came here in search of solutions to my current problem

i hope this is something common but, what is umbral excavation supposed to be like?

i downloaded the mod and started it, by going into extras and choosing umbral excavation, then in the first room... nothing, i go to the second one.... nothing, i use a secret to get around to the third room and this is where i get stuck

the door says no access and ive been jumping around trying to find a way to get through since i hear demons behind the doors

is this an issue on my part? do i need the DLCs to run it proper?

thanks in advance

(my rig is an i5 3550, 12gb of ddr3, rx580 8gb)

[plush thicket]

This level must be run by command

read the mod description

[queen fern]

i was gonna try that but i wouldnt see a reason in doing so because the level shows up in the extras menu anyway

i thought i had missing dependancies

[plush thicket]

This command for the main level "loadDevMenuOption devmenuoption/umbral_excavation 0 1"

[plush thicket]

this the way the level design think the creator use layers or something

@queen fern This command for the Master level version "loadDevMenuOption devmenuoption/umbral_excavation 1 1"

Also The map has been made before the extra menu feature was a thing

[drowsy tartan]

Not anymore but thank you for asking

[plush thicket]

it better to read the mods description before you play it

[oak geyser]

No problem. Don't hesitate to inquire further if I don't express myself clearly enough!

[ancient shard]

LETS GO! NEW AUDIO MODDING!

Also i never noticed that the launcher never had an offiline mode tho! XD

[potent veldt]

Im stuck in offine mode and cant download mods. Any help?

[swift lintel]

@plush thicket ^

[plush thicket]

try to restart the launcher

[ancient shard]

Maybe to mods servers are offiline?

*the

[plush thicket]

mine working fine

[modest obsidian]

Ill DM you @potent veldt

[frosty steeple]

I'm stuck offline as well

I'll just restart my pc later and see if that works

[ancient shard]

Nheee, maybe i will restart my pc later, great thing i can work on Id Studio without problems offiline tho.

[plush thicket]

Yeah restart pc, try to verify files

[ancient shard]

Yee! Easiest fix for this "problem".

Btw, on my way to get WWise to put some bangers and experiment on Doom Eternal.

[plush thicket]

Any Updates ??

[modest obsidian]

hes too busy buzzing around in idstudio to restart 😛

[fickle glade]

Also just checked and unfortunately, the TAG2 audio bug is still present

[modest obsidian]

This is a layering bug. If a mod is made that has all of the audio and overlapped with another mod it cancels out. if there is a mod with a copy of base game audio it overlaps it and breaks stuff. Its a combination of incorrect packaging and including stuff thats not needed, as well as some stuff on our side.

I'll DM you for some stuff if you want to help

[ancient shard]

Oooo sorry, i didn't restarted yet xD.

[ancient shard]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-is-dead-spy-engineer-correct-right-gif-26313261

[plush thicket]

DO IT NAW

[ancient shard]

Okay, restarting now. (Also, daam Windows! Always updating! 😅😭)

[modest obsidian]

i bet your uptime was like 50000 days

[ancient shard]

Its quite there! It just loses for Blender and Garry's Mod. XD

[plush thicket]

You can skip the windows update

[ancient shard]

I know tho, but it updated fast (thankfully) now am veryfing the files!

[ancient shard]

Allright, i think it worked!

[plush thicket]

LFG 🔥

[ancient shard]

Let to cooking begin! (Or continue in my case)

[jolly wind]

Guys this may not be an mod for eternal but im planning on making a dark ages mod where it replaces TDA music with eternals music

[plush thicket]

good luck with that but you have to wait

[noble jacinth]

Is there any mod for optimizing graphics settings

[jolly wind]

Im on ps5 so i cant mod it💔

[noble jacinth]

I feel your pain bro

[halcyon stratus]

HOLY SHIT IT'S YOU.

IT'S BEEN FOREVER.

[frosty steeple]

Holy shit it me

[oblique dirge]

[atomic bay]

Still an issue in PC Mod Preview Update 3:

Edit: Note that this isn't a comprehensive list.

It sounds like "The Ancient Gods 2 music/dialogue is missing, when using mods that were packaged with everything included" is still an issue, but I can't confirm, as such mods immediately crash the game for me because it "failed to read default.cfg" (which is present in such mods' "base.pk5" file).

[atomic bay]

@modest obsidian - BUG REPORT - The sandbox crashes if a mod packages "default.cfg"
To reproduce, download and activate https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doometernal/details/1ce106e0-d82a-4f8e-aa45-6a0d2d7d234b/Air_control_always_on, and launch the game with active mods. The game very quickly shows an unhandled exception crash report dialog, and spits out these files, with the two remarkable console lines being... WARNING: container entry defaulted binaryFile:default.cfg:NONE: file not found: default.cfg while loading loadBinary:default.cfg from binaryFile:default.cfg [...] FATAL ERROR: Failed to read default.cfg(My launch options contain +exec in these logs, but I've also tried without any launch options, and it still crashes.)
(Edit: This wasn't an issue in PC Mod Preview Update 2.)

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.

[tight hinge]

Oh yeah this is true, I had people reporting this issue on my axe mod

[molten token]

It's incredible how much better the Doom Eternal mod launcher is! I hope they include the same tags for filtering or searching in the mod ejector so it's easier to find custom levels or maps. There's aggregation only in the mod search, but not in the "play" section.

[echo root]

Was the Doom Eternal mod launcher/it's tool updated or something?

[halcyon stratus]

My one request for the mod launcher would be the ability to save mod loadlists so I can pop in and play a specific mod combination in a few clicks. A bit like ZDL for classic Doom where you can save load order for your mods.

[plush thicket]

Yes The Launcher has been updated and idstudio

@echo root Release notes here: https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/release-notes/2025/07/31/update-3

[molten token]

Exactly, imagine in the future having 500 mods installed trying to find 2 or 3 among all of them. For the final version they should add more extra options to make it easier to find mods and also sort them on the screen to select and play mods.

As far as "searching" for mods goes, I think it's 100% and I don't think they could do any better, I give it a 10/10

[halcyon stratus]

Also losing the ability to drag and drop mods onto the loadlist is strange, I get clicking on them to toggle them on and off but dragging and dropping seemed more intuitive to me. Nothing huge, just an observation.

[oblique dirge]

God dam

[ancient shard]

I have a question tho, involving the WWise music modding, do i have to follow the setup process for it? Or i just need to open the project on WWise and good to go?

[ancient shard]

Looks pretty cool man!

[fickle glade]

Thx!

[ancient shard]

Btw, it will be like an intro for the map? Or an arena?

[fickle glade]

Arena

I don't feel like I'm ready for entire levels with like set pieces and stuff so I'm settling on short arena type levels right now

[oblique dirge]

i love it man keep going!!

[ancient shard]

Keep it up man! You are doing great! :).

[whole cedar]

about the beta hud mod, does anyone really modswap WHILE using the weapon wheel? if it doesnt bother anyone i really could get rid of these little icons below the weapon name for accuracy

[ancient shard]

Tbh, never used it, even on console! XD

Btw, am really curious to see this HUD Restoration! :).

[fickle glade]

I use it VERY occasionally

[tardy arrow]

same

its situational

[ancient shard]

I used by accident. XD

[whole cedar]

damn never heard of people actually using it

ok i will work around it then

[ancient shard]

I think it is an small detail that nobody actully care about. Most of ppl sticky with one upgrade, or change it before and after an arena section.

[tardy arrow]

ye

or they just use the ACTUAL BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE IN BATTLE

and i think everyone uses 1 mod for most weapons

[ancient shard]

Indeed.

[tardy arrow]

like i use

sticky bomb for shotgun

Mobile turret for chaingun

remote detonate for rocket launcher

SSG and BFG dont have mods

Plasma riflr i use the charge thing

not the microwave beam

so the only guns i switch normally is heavy cannon and ballista

srry for yapping

[ancient shard]

No worries man.

[tardy arrow]

phew

[whole cedar]

its about 95% done, if i dont release it tomorrow i will next week

[ancient shard]

Nice man! Btw, take your time with the cooking! No need to worry about deadlines or stuff, polish it as much has you can! :D.

[halcyon stratus]

I've done it once on a blue moon. Like in 2021.

But so long as you keep the icons in the middle I guess.

[muted bobcat]

i use all the mods in the game, even the mobile turret very occasionally

like, it's definitely the most fun thing imo, and even optimal as you're able to draw advantage from your entire arsenal

don't really think manny people at all mod swaps while in the weapon wheel, but if you do use the wheel, it's definitely something worth doing/considering at least as then it's an animationless swap

only other way to achieve that is with tech

[tardy arrow]

also i have a question

nvm

[mystic pasture]

I didn't even know you could do that

Wow

[brisk jungle]

The pc mod launcher doesn't seem to be working when I try to play with mods, or at least appears to try to start the game but crashes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have just some reskin mods installed for changing the Slayer and some enemies to their tda variants

[atomic bay]

Have you used EternalModInjector? If so, it hasn't been updated for PC Mod Preview Update 3 yet.
Right-click Doom Eternal in your Steam library, choose "Properties..." > "Local Files" > "Verify integrity of game files", wait for it to finish, and allow Steam to redownload any missing/altered game files. This will uninstall all EternalModInjector mods, which should make the game work with PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods instead.

[brisk jungle]

OOF 😭
Well shit
I have a BUNCH of mod injector mods
I guess I'll let go of pc mod preview mods, I can wait for mod injector to update since I don't wanna let go of those mods. If the injector gets updated did that mean I'll be able to use to both sets of mods?
Tysm though!

[atomic bay]

[...] If the injector gets updated did that mean I'll be able to use to both sets of mods? [...]
Yes. Once EternalModInjector is updated, just use it to install EternalModInjector mods, and then click "Mods" > "Play" > "Launch with active mods" if you also want PC Mod Preview/idStudio mods at the same time.

[sage sentinel]

uh anyone around who plays on steam deck

the mod preview has stopped working as recent as around day before

it just launches the base game instead of the gui to choose base game or play with mods

it seems there was an update? I got the launcher to show up in desktop environment seperately but still no game

[atomic bay]

it just launches the base game instead of the gui to choose base game or play with mods
PC Mod Preview Update 3 came out two days ago. https://idstudio.idsoftware.com/release-notes/2025/07/31/update-3 says...
[...] Bypass Mode
Added support for a bypass mode. If the user does not want to use mods they can set a preference for skipping the launcher and starting DOOM Eternal immediately. This preference can be changed at any time by pulling up the launcher from their task bar. Additionally the bypass mode is automatically active for handhelds and streaming platforms. [...]
...which I interpret as being able to press the Steam/Home button to bring up Steam's "game menu" (the one that has "Resume game", "Controller settings", "View game details", "Guides", and "Exit game"), scroll down to the bottom below(?) the "Exit game" button to see the game's multiple windows, and switch to the launcher window.

From there, you should be able to (hold Steam/Home and) move the mouse cursor and click with R2 to interact with the launcher. Hopefully you can click on the settings/gear icon near the top-right, then disable "General" > "Skip the Launcher and open DOOM Eternal (Original)" to make the launcher open by default when you open the game through Steam.

[...] I got the launcher to show up in desktop environment seperately but still no game
"Still no game" as in "not in Gaming Mode"? See above.
Or as in "the game doesn't launch when I click "Mods" > "Play" > "Launch with active mods" "? If so, have you used EternalModInjector? In that case, verify the game files to uninstall EternalModInjector mods; it hasn't been updated to support PC Mod Preview Update 3 yet.

[sage sentinel]

@atomic bay okay that makes sense. idk why they would do that thats so stupid. Like no offence if I don't wanna play with mods why would i enroll for the mod preview version

but to be clear that is how it used to work. the game and the launcher window would open and I would be able to choose

thats no longer working. so while I can tinker and get to the launcher in desktop, the game still dosent show up via the launcher (base or modded)

even though when i press play doom eternal or with mods steam shows doom eternal as running

but nada. In gaming mode the launcher dosen't show at all it just launches base game

Should I switch to DM? I feel like I am making a mess here sorry

[atomic bay]

[...] idk why they would do that thats so stupid. [...]
I think that Valve explicitly recommends game developers to auto-skip game launchers on Deck for a more seamless/"pick-up-and-play" experience.

[...] if I don't wanna play with mods why would i enroll for the mod preview version
Who's to say that the PC Mod Preview (keyword: "preview") will not become the default option eventually?

[...] In gaming mode the launcher dosen't show at all [...]
Not at all whatsoever? If you're certain, please ping @ halfp1nt in this channel with a message like "@ halfp1nt - BUG REPORT - The launcher doesn't appear in Steam Deck's Gaming Mode".

[sage sentinel]

I mean that's just oversimplification smh. If they are gonna do that why not just make it so the modded version launches by default. Prolly cuz they are gonna make the mods part of the default build okay got it. and yes no launcher at all

**@modest obsidian -BUG REPORT- **
The launcher does not appear AT ALL for MOD PREVIEW of Doom Eternal. Have to use Konsole to pull it up in desktop. Pressing play just launches base game by default

[halcyon stratus]

That's sick.

.swf didn't give you too much trouble I hope.

[ornate dawn]

will importing my unmodded save damage it or will it be fine? i dont want to mess up my save file for unmodded eternal

[oblique dirge]

Just duplicated

[ornate dawn]

so my save for vanilla wont be affected or updated if i do anything in modded?

[oblique dirge]

The actual game is its own thing. Modded is its own separate thing.

So anything you do and modded will not affect your other stuff

[ornate dawn]

ok

[oblique dirge]

But if you wanna be cautious, then I would just make a back up of your safe file

[ornate dawn]

ill do that probably

thx

[plush thicket]

Going Blue

[swift lintel]

holy shit it looks awesome

[sage sentinel]

Hello

Can someone share their doom-launcher-settings.json file with me?

Or jus the text inside it?

I think I have figured out what is causing the issue with the mod preview on steam deck, it seems

launch target: retail is the issue. it is like @atomic bay pointed out valve prefers the launcher be skipped

so thats like the default

[atomic bay]

{"_settings":{"language":"en-us","use_streamer_mode":false,"launch_target":"portal","activemods_base":"C:\\Users\\Zappy\\Documents\\id Software\\activemods","idstudio_base":"C:\\Users\\Zappy\\Documents\\id Software\\idStudio","idassets_base":"C:\\Users\\Zappy\\Documents\\id Software\\id-assets","remember_login":true}}```(Of course, you should change `activemods_base`, `idstudio_base`, and `idassets_base` to the appropriate paths - though I assume that you're really just interested in the `"launch_target":"portal"` part?)

[sage sentinel]

Since launcher won't show nornally I can't toggle the setting and get it to save

[sage sentinel]

YES

thanks maybe this will work

I tried deleting or setting to null but that didn't help

[lost brook]

sup guys

oh wrong place

[sage sentinel]

update: this in fact DID NOT WORK

sadge :((

hey @atomic bay could I annoy you a bit more?

could ya share details or an ss of whats in your "users/steamuser/Documents/id Software/idStudio/" folder

mine is blank I am thinking maybe the assets or prerequisites required for launching the portal maybe got fudged

[polar nexus]

W color

squirtheh

[atomic bay]

I haven't created any mods using idStudio on this computer, so the "idStudio" and "id-assets" folders are empty.

[oblique dirge]

Nice man!

[sage sentinel]

ah so thats only for creating

well hen I am out of ideas. Its prolly something I can't think of or maybe its hardcoded

should I tag with another bug report or just leave it at the one

[oblique dirge]

maybe unsupported screenshot format, what your screenshot file format is it PNG,JPG ??

[whole cedar]

all images are in png format

Vista Is required

Looks like some Sentinel Ship! I really like the color and the smoke/mist, reminds me classic Alien a little bit. That scene where they go into the hole on the derelic ship and find the egg chamber. Really good work man!

The blue hell aesthetic is so underrated.

it deserves more attention

Do your screenshots and/or idStudio mods path have any non-ASCII characters in the file path/name, such as accented letters like Ñ or Ö? (If you're not sure, hold Shift while right-clicking one of them, choose "Copy as path", and paste it here.)

I don't think that that would matter, but it's my best guess. 🤷

already restarted my pc a few times, also checked that my launcher is not offline but im still getting a 400 error
"C:\Users\alvar\Downloads\SCREENSHOTS\AltDownload.png" i dont theres any weird characters? if it matters my screenshots are saved as 32-bit pngs

[atomic bay]

That path looks fine. My only suggestions now are to try running the PNG through PNGCrush or some other PNG compression tool, in case that alters the file in a way that Doom Eternal's launcher likes, and to try waiting 48 hours. 🤷

alr ill try that, thank youu

[plush thicket]

@whole cedar still having the problem that you can't upload the screenshots ??

[whole cedar]

i was busy, gonna try again now

[plush thicket]

Yes please

[whole cedar]

yup, still getting the exact same error message, i suppose this popup is supposed to appear even if i havent uploaded my mod?? this never happened with the old launcher

[plush thicket]

Yeah, it normal, they update the launcher, when you modify a published mod will show you this popup

Just change it and re-publish it

[whole cedar]

problem is i havent even uploaded it, i will try to upload the mod without screenshots first tho

[plush thicket]

Ok I guess this another bug, but did the screenshot uploaded ??

click I understand, add this screenshot see if it added

Any luck ??

[plush thicket]

How you upload your mods, do you load the mod in idstudio Mods/[YourModName]/Upload mod ??

[whole cedar]

im not using the upload button in idstudio, im using the one in my creations -> (mod) -> upload mod

[plush thicket]

Is the mod uploaded successfully ??, like you see all files

[whole cedar]

oh lord

this is not even screenshot stuff, but rather description

[plush thicket]

You launcher is cooked broski, try to switch between beta branches. first go to steam beta branch select none, let it update, after it done switch back pc_mod_preview

[whole cedar]

verifying files twice and using the 2.4ghz wifi solved it

thanks for the help

[echo root]

[halcyon stratus]

QuakeCon 2018 HUD LFG !!!!

[charred nova]

Quakecon 2018 DOOM Eternal my beloved

[cyan granite]

That’s a screenshot of nothing. DM @cedar thunder

DM @cedar thunder it’s very simple

[white cargo]

Any help with this guys?

[oblique dirge]

i love it man

[halcyon stratus]

@whole cedar Killer job on the HUD man, this looks and feels official.

[whole cedar]

thank you

[halcyon stratus]

I hope we're eventually given documentation on how to work around the little kinks and stuff with UI editing, then maybe we could do stuff like changing the dossier and automap colors to blue like the QC showcase.

[whole cedar]

never asked myself how the color is applied to the dossier map, but considering its a model it MIGHT just be a texture

no idea though

[fickle glade]

@whole cedar On the subject of what Papaya said, do you think you could write down how you did your thing and share it in a document?

[whole cedar]

i might try doing that although i dont fully understand shockwave flash files yet

i think o_dey is better fit for the task 😭

[halcyon stratus]

Also, is this intended? Or at least fixable if not?

[whole cedar]

oh that is intended

thats actually an old texture that was still in the game files

[halcyon stratus]

Oh gotcha. Looked like a misalignment issue at first.

Also minor note, the chainsaw UI element is a little farther to the right for me but in the display pics it appears normal.

Maybe something on my end?
