Cooperative play is supported, but it wasn't tested when it was released. In my opinion it works just fine. Thanks for this, it was a blast. In Brutaldoom on UV however, the last few levels brought our computers to their knees  This was hilarious and awesome, but they were also basically ridiculous and for two of them, essentially impossible.The progression up to that point was extremely smooth though, good fun maps. That said, everyone needs to load up map10 in this wad and play it on UV with brutaldoom loaded, for the combination of  and

Morter posted:So I just beat Duke Nukem 3D with the War Of Attrition mod, and holy poo poo is it amazing. In fact, it's the one thing that pushed me to finishing DN3D (too many hitscans in the vanilla game just got annoying). The level of growth is hysterically awesome. The randomized levels are kind of a mixed bag; most of them are good or at least alright but a few are really poo poo, and of course they're all pistol-start unlike the main episodes. There were also a few where either the map broke or I was just completely incapable of figuring out some puzzle and ended up noclipping around until I found the next part of the map. Also, the final bossfight is a complete bitch (but in a good way). I did quite enjoy them, but not as much as I enjoyed mainline Duke3d with WoA. As for WGRealms 2, I have to say I did not enjoy it at all. It's extremely difficult, a lot of the enemies are total gently caress-you bullet sponges, and ammo is very scarce. I got a few levels in and then went back to play more WoA random levels. I do wish there were a way I could load other Duke3d map packs into WoA, though.

I think the biggest problem with WGRealms 2 is that the maps are too big and confusing and lack almost any flow.

Has anyone tried the Redux mod for AVP Classic? I can't beat a level without the game crashing and the best advice the author gives is "Maybe it's a memory problem." Also, the deathmatch mode is awesome.

Back in the days I used to play a specific Duke Nukem 3D map all the time in local multiplayer. Easily spent hundreds of hours on that map alone. I'm fairly sure that it was named bridgewar.map, however, my old archives are lost and Google isn't helping me. However, I do remember that I did download it maybe 5-6 years ago, which is why I'm fairly sure of its name. Anyone know how I might find it again?

I've been having fun with Neo Doom Gold in skulltag- it seems to start off pretty average, with the usual rooms-and-corridors map layouts, but the later maps get pretty huge and almost Serious Sam-esque. Definitely worth a try. Other than that, someone earlier posted a link to Vanguard, which seems like a good choice for coop, but I haven't tried it out online yet (has a nice jungle-y vibe to it). There's a skulltag server that runs both Neo Doom Gold and brutal doom, which makes for a lot of fun. It's usually pretty populated too.

I think I may have figured out how to add new maps to War of Attrition. Recommend me some quality duke3d singleplayer maps or map packs to test this with - ideally stand-alone maps (ie, intended to be playable from a pistol start) rather than campaigns.

I seem to recall a ZDoom megawad composed of Quake maps, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding it (if it even exists). I know there's a Quake 2 WIP project, but the video I saw was definitely "Quake 1 maps for Doom." Anybody know what I'm talking about, or if I'm just crazy?

There is only one class now (cycle through the class HUDs by using the + and - keys), although you can change your game-type to fit the various enemy themes. Read the readme. Only some enemies drop guns.

I've gone through about six levels of Doom 2 with Aeons and an oblige map and not one enemy dropped a gun. They've dropped health, ammo, and armor, but no weapons. If this is intentional then it's lame as poo poo.

Going through my music folder, forgot I had these. If they've been posted, it's been awhile, but there's a couple of Doom albums for fans out there. Head over to Overclocked Remix. There's 2 fan remix albums, free to download. The Dark Side of Phobos. Doom 1 remixes. I've had this one for awhile, and really like it, especially Hangarmageddon (e1m1). Youtube link to Hangarmageddon.  Delta-Q-Delta. Doom 2 remixes. I didn't know this existed until today, and am only a couple cong ins, but like what I'm hearing. Youtube link to Running From Evil Horde (Map 01). And a bonus link to the Epiclore Doom Melody.

Why doesn't infinite ammo work in Aeons of Death? I set it to ON because I'm sick of the fact that ammo rarely ever spawns (I swear to god the creator of the mod wants us to use melee all the time) and it won't work for all weapons. I wish there was an option to set how frequently ammo drops, because the randomized monsters make it a bitch to get it.

First rule of mods: their creators are all absolute bastards. In other news I have discovered that blood has a sequel. I bought it off GOG for the holiday sale and feel like I was ripped off. I wonder how much of blood 2 horribleness can be put up to the transition to a true 3d engine? I also wonder what drugs the designers were on to explain half of these idiot decisions?

Klaus88 posted:First rule of mods: their creators are all absolute bastards. The major thing you have to keep in mind with Blood 2 is that it wasn't finished. It was rushed out the door before they had time to really implement everything they wanted and as a result you got a lot of things that didn't mesh well, story elements that just kind of dead end, etc.. The whole thing with the mad scientist character was actually supposed to be more fleshed out--sound files still exist in the game for more content regarding his part--but it literally just ends with Caleb running into him on a catwalk as he silently cowers on the ground like the random civilians do. The game doesn't even have a story if you play as any character but Caleb, since they never implemented cutscenes for anyone else. It still wouldn't have been great since the story was kind of stupid. Why they set it a thousand years in the future is beyond me, since most of the enemies could have still been done in a 1930s/40s setting and worked fine, and the far future setting doesn't mesh too well with the first game. It's literally like you're playing a completely different game that happens to share a voice actor. Also, gently caress those spinny hissy things that come from the other side of the rifts. They are beyond irritating. Don't ask me why they'd design such stupidly difficult low-level enemies.

And yet I still remember thinking at the time that I played it that it had incredible graphics. Looking back, yeah, it wasn't very nice to look at at all. But hey, at least it got better. No One Lives Forever and its sequel both looked pretty good, and the F.E.A.R. games (or at least the first one anyways) ran on a very late version of the same engine.

Blood 2 is almost charmingly inept, with its explosions that go through walls and cutscenes where everyone stares at opposite walls as they have a conversation. By the end they've given up pretending and the loading screen messages are "Uh, well, you're here again! For some reason! Sorry guys."

With the Lithtech engine it's very much like the Unreal engine where there were different iterations and major changes to the build. You can see how they're broken down here but the first FEAR was the flagship title for their newest and current iteration of the engine. And I actually really like that engine with its excellent shaders and really nice lighting effects. I'd kill for a Blood remake using Jupiter EX.

Early LithTech versions had ok environments but the NPCs were goddamn creepy with their bulging, softball-like eyeballs and centimeter-thick eyelids. NOLF and AvP2 still kicked rear end, though.
