Chinese Tony Danza posted:It's very possible. All you have to do is open each of the maps in SLADE3, then make a new .WAD file, copy the maps into it, and then rename them in whatever sequence you want to play them. You can even make a MAPINFO lump with proper level names and custom skies and music and whatever if you're playing with (G)ZDoom. I'm really surprised that no one's made another one since 1995.

I really like how your view opens up when you walk past doors and such. Played the demo, its pretty neat but a little hard on the eyes. Didn't find a way to run in a window.

It seemed like to even have a chance to not blow all of my ammo on those little annoying 4-legged things, I had to continually herd them down narrow corridors. At least until I figured out how powerful the melee attack was. Besides some enemies being hard to pick out from the background, it looks really cool. Not sure it's worth the money for 10 levels though, even if they change each time. SPACE HOMOS posted:Played the demo, its pretty neat but a little hard on the eyes.

Has anybody managed to get Requiem: Avenging Angel running on Windows 7? I've played dozens of PC games from that era on my system and this is the only one giving me trouble setting up.

It doesn't help that while Requiem is a win9x program, the patch for it is, for some reason, a 16-bit win3.1 program.

Laziness. They had a patch program that worked at the time, and didn't feel the need to rewrite it, contrarily to their game engines.

I started working on a wad file welding utility for squashing levels from different wads together but doing it for anything but vanilla levels is a pain in the rear end as it would need to support WADINFO, DEH, and BEX lumps to always get level names right and there's like 4 WADINFO formats in the wild  . Also maps that use custom flats and patches wouldn't work out either.If anyone is still interested in a vanilla-only wad merger let me know and I'll finish it up (I have the wad file parsing and writing done, the rest is simple). It'll probably a command line program that reads a simple input file like this: code:

Just put up a bare bones ui where I can drag over a bunch of wad files and mark them to change levelslots. No need for mapinfo or whatever since I don't really pay attention to that. Have a checkbox for "strip custom textures and sounds" and it'll be perfect.

Here's an interesting museum piece: footage of the early Doom alpha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6YTBTSsrqU It's interesting to recognise the early map designs that would end up getting used in Doom, particularly Episode 2. For instance, that blue tech area in E2M7 started out as a 'base' where your fellow marines would hang out as part of a storyline. EDIT:  at the early, cockpit-style HUD in the video preview.

Im itching for some more doom lately after having played through the originals with brutal doom. Are there any graphically impressive wads for the more advanced engines out there? I already found stronghold to be really well presented with the extra graphical effects possible by engines like skulltag.

I'd like to play through Doom doing all pistol starts. Is there any easy way to do this without just IDCLEV and restarting? VVV: Thanks.  It makes nightmare a forced pistol start Ultraviolent. I wonder if I could just console in 'skill 2' to switch to HMP and it would stay that way? I'll check it out.

Mak0rz posted:Jules sucks. Also, I noticed that there's a Doom Classic game available on the Playstation Store for PS3. It's billed as Doom 1 (with Thy Flesh Consumed), Doom 2 (including No Rest For The Living), Final Doom, and the Master Levels. I assume it's a straightforward port of the Xbox 360 versions. Am I right, or are there any horrible issues that ought to stop me from recommending it to people?

It was a remake of the original campaign, much larger levels, more enemy variety, but still recognizable. It also uses a ton of the effects that have since found their way into zdoom, so there are some nice things and gimmicks to look at every now and then. Right now I'm playing through the Beyond Reality wad that has been linked here some pages ago (thanks), and also really enjoying it. It has some new clever enemies, (some dumb ones too, those flying boxes are just ugly as hell) but all in all it's a refreshing slew of variety and not just reskins either.

Zero Star posted:Tom is King. Actually, it's better than the Xbox 360 version. First, it does have all 21 Master Levels (though they're arranged as an episode, with the secret level from TEETH.WAD turned into the "boss level"), which is the first time this happens on a console. (PSX Final Doom had only 13 of the 21 levels; and the first Xbox port with the ML had only 18 of them). Secondly, from what I've heard, the menus don't lag like they do in the BFG edition. Finally, apparently (not 100% sure about this), they use MUS2MIDI instead of external MIDI files like the XBLA version. This does lead to problems in TNT MAP02, where the tune is famous for being awful because there are wrong volume values. (Note: If the Doom Wiki links don't work, try again several hours later. drat Mancubus.net servers crap out constantly.)

Like it's an affront to the entire concept of Doom. I've never understood this. Doomworld seems to do this A LOT. I was searching Google for something only tangentially related some days ago and stumbled upon a thread about Brutal Doom which was essentially a lot of complaining that it was "too modern" with people making comparisons to Call of Duty because the rifle has ironsights and poo poo. Also a guy compared my voice acting unfavorably to something from a lovely B-movie and called me "some guy trying to sound tough into his mic in his bedroom" and that kind of upset me. (Especially considering things that happened earlier that night regarding my dreams of acting, but that's neither here nor there.) I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but so much of it was just "wah wah my pure unsoiled Doom experience!!"

I wouldn't worry too much about it, CTD. I think the biggest issue with the voice acting in Brutal Doom is that most people don't understand the reference to the Doom comic or that a Doom comic even exists. I'm sure plenty of people jumped to the conclusion that they were just some wacky rear end poo poo some mod developer came up with. The specific complaints mentioned (ironsights and the voice acting) are both optional anyways, I wonder if an optional pistol Brutal Doom would help out a bit. The biggest draw to Brutal Doom for me is the variety in kill animations, enemy attacks and things of that nature, although I personally love the assault rifle and voice acting.

I went through a pretty extensive phase where I legitimately found it more fun than the base game. I don't know why I got bored of it, to be honest. Does anyone have those wads that stitch together all of the Doom levels and all of the Doom 2 levels? There was one for each, right?

I didn't care much for how the pistol-start enforcer linked earlier worked (new difficulty, UV only, etc) and it also doesn't seem to work right for brutal doom so I made these: riflestart.wad pistolstart.wad riflestart is the brutal doom one of course. These don't affect any particular difficulty level, they just reset your inventory when a level starts. Just add them and goooo  Note: These use ACS and only work in zdoomish ports as far as I know.
