So I was just thinking about some doom stuff and decided it should be posted here the ultimate Doom has 4 episodes, each consisting of 9 levels which equals out to 36 levels Doom 2 contains 32 maps, as do both TnT and plutonia The master levels for Doom 2 has about 20 maps (I think) and Doom 64 also contains 32 maps which in total ends up being about 184 maps for Doom as a whole I'm probably missing some stuff (I don't really count the 1000 LEVEL DOOM PACK CD stuff as legitimate) but I believe this is about how many there are Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though

Zacharias posted:So I was just thinking about some doom stuff and decided it should be posted here If you're going to count Doom 64 you should also count the special Playstation-only Doom maps, and maybe even the console versions of Doom maps. For example the http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Atari_Jaguar version had 22 of the 27 PC Doom 1 levels, many of them modified significantly, and 2 brand new levels. http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance version uses most of the same maps, but the Doom II version for it has two levels that were split in half: so that Industrial Zone is now two levels and The Chasm is now two levels.

Zacharias posted:So I was just thinking about some doom stuff and decided it should be posted here I compiled a WAD of all the official Doom levels back to back (sans Doom 64, which would take a fair deal of editing to get working) and between The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, The Master Levels, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, the PSX exclusive levels, and No Rest For The Living, there's 170 maps.

Is there a mod out there that allows within-species monster friendly fire? In-fighting is optional, but that would be okay too.

The new official GZDoom release is out, but the guy can't update his actual page due to some sort of web hosting SNAFU. You should be able to grab it from here.

So I'm playing Epic 2/Nazis based on recommendations and its a lot of fun! However I think I've encountered a bit of a problem on a map called "Orion's Belt". I have a feeling I'm supposed to shoot that switch to let myself out of this force-field cage. However, my bullets won't pass through it. I've tried just about every weapon I have, am I missing something obvious? Also, kinda sad I haven't found an Enfield yet.

It took... months, I think, but I finally got around to fixing up some of the issues folks had with my map for the (eventual) goonwad. It should be more difficult than before, as that was the main complaint. There are more enemies, including more varied types than in the original version, and the ammo / weapon / health items have been adjusted accordingly. Ammo should get a little tight on hard, but it should be completable on every skill level (...although I didn't test Nightmare!). And each skill level should play slightly differently because of different weapon availability. ...but it may still need work. The only major structural change was removing the door that was originally here to improve flow. The doors have all been changed to the fast open / stay type for the same reason.  Everything else is minor cosmetic stuff like the borders outside. Link: Here

Your map is pretty slick and I didn't find any problems with it. I really like the layout and some of the secrets, although I only found 4; it has a good doom feel to it.

I finished up Quake 2 a few days ago, and it's a lot better than I remember. There's plenty of ammo for you to go nuts with awesome weapons like the Chaingun, Rocket Launcher and BFG, which makes combat a blast. The enemies have personality (like the cannon fodder soldier's overdramatic death animations, the Tanks' THUMP and even the Iron Maiden's bizzare sexual moan idle sound), the levels are good enough that you won't get lost, and the game gives you a nice and steady supply of new guns to mess with, even if you don't go secret hunting. Even the orange and gray pallet isn't that bad after a few minutes. Quake 1 is still the best SP wise, but Q2 is a worthy successor to Quake 1, even if some of the charm that Quake 1 had is gone (the rest of the charm the Romero-era iD games had went away with Quake 3  ).The expansion packs can get hosed though. Ground Zero has mediocre level design that's filled with boring "enhanced" versions of normal enemies that take forever to kill, while Reckoning has underpowered weapons that the game really wants you to use, bullet sponge Icaruses, too much emphasis on the Railgun and those lovely small laser turrets that do 20 damage a hit and fire really fast lasers that will occasionally predict your movement with no warning. I'm considering quitting Reckoning because I'm getting sick of being gunned down by a laser turret that pops out of nowhere when I'm fighting other enemies.

My problem with Quake 2 is that there are no memorable battles. You almost never attacked from all sides and even then the Strogg are just terribly slow bullet sponges. The only way to get hurt is by walking into a Gunner's grenade spam or getting tazered by a pack of those annoying dog things. The hub design was much better than I had remembered and the skyboxes are still pretty cool. Shame about the Big Gun level being such a turd.

Just played through this and it's as nice as always, but a couple things of note: These two imps are stuck in one another on HMP/UV.  I have no idea how to get into this room on the right; a little help? :V All in all, I still enjoyed it; the added monsters (the revenant trap near the green armor especially) make it a little more exciting and fun to play. I'm glad you didn't just dump a load of monsters everywhere and said "There, it's a little harder now" (like I would)

I fixed the imps. Oddly enough, they worked fine when testing on whichever version of zdoom I'm currently running. I'll upload the fixed version in a few days, just to see if anyone else finds something. And that revenant still gets me occasionally even though I made the drat map. How to get to that secret room: the switch that lowers the berserker pack in the room with the red switch / teleporter also lowers one of the panels in the hall to reveal a second switch. Shooting that opens the secret door. I'm not entirely sure the reward is even worth the effort on anything but easy... especially when this isn't part of a larger wad.

The hub design was much better than I had remembered and the skyboxes are still pretty cool. Shame about the Big Gun level being such a turd. Agreed. The only real memorable battles are the bosses (mostly because it's so easy to wreck them), that level near the end of the Hangar hub that's filled with strong enemies in small to medium-sized rooms, and the army of Tank Commanders when you're inside the palace in the final hub. Every other encounter is "oh no a Gunner and Berserker are in your way!" with the occasional Iron Maiden or two thrown in after you reach the Power Plant hub. Of course, none of this matters when you become a BFG ball and rocket-spewing god of destruction.

Quake 2 feels the same for me, it lacks the "oh god this was awesome" because you had to run and jump around loving fast in order to survive, killing lots of enemies in the process. But I keep replaying Quake 2 from time to time because as every ID game, the shooting is fantastic and I would kill for a remake of it with RAGE's engine just to see how stroggs react to shoots in different parts of their body.

This is the Skulltag community we're talking about here. I'm sure that somewhere there was a 90+ page thread with a huge screaming match over whether or not there should be a Z in the name that resulted in 15 people leaving the Doom community and several death threats.

 Can anyone break down how Scythe map 28 (Run From It) works? I know it involves some barrels and a player clone, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around what's going on.If you're wondering: You have a limited time to complete the map before you rapidly begin to die

Reive posted:Any tips for a Blood newb? Playing on the middle difficulty and the game seems really hard. It is really hard. Stuff dies easily but hits really hard, and this applies to you as well - you get a lot of fun toys to play with but it's an extremely lethal game. There's no shame in turning down the difficulty further. There are no current ports. XLEngine is the best bet, and it is actually coming along - the website is pretty much dead but the developer is pretty active on the forums and is making steady progress. However, right now he's mostly focusing on Dark Forces and Daggerfall support; Blood, if it's in the next release at all, will be in an early alpha state.
