Here's something cool: Andrew Hulshult, the composer on ROTT 2013, is redoing a bunch of the Doom soundtrack for Brutal Doom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twz3vUHDz-A

I bring you http://assassin3d.squarespace.com/ There's a semi-active discussion board and everything. These dudes are seriously obsessed with their ancient Win95 gaming peripherals (and modern trackball+joystick recreations). Theoretically, you'll gain a benefit from the analogue movement afforded by the joystick. For instance, in Half-Life you can move almost as fast as running speed, without making any noise, supposedly really effective in deathmatches. But almost no FPS since has supported analog movement control, apart from possible a couple of console ports.

I thought so. I remember someone telling me about a friend of his who was way into it. It had some weird movement tricks, like Quake, except not... "triple banding" or something, where you would move forwards and up and sideways all at the same time, because it stacked.

If you couldn't do it, you couldn't possibly win in a fight with someone who could.

So I had to reinstall my OS and files after constant BSODs finally screwed up the core files. Obviously, I've had to redownload G/ZDooM, but despite driver updates, everything looks stretched out and I can't fully aim up or down, instead of the free aiming and distortion-free aiming I had last.

So, um, I'm kinda new to the whole Doom modding thing. I've played some of the gameplay changers and they're fun, but I haven't seen good recomendations for packs that are essentially 'more Doom', and I really like the core gameplay's mix of inviting simplicity and intriguing death. Is there a good bestof list for that sort of thing, across the entire twenty years the game's been out? edit: DEPTH, I MEANT DEPTH. But death is too funny a typo to overwrite.

For "More Doom", Doom the Way id Did (for Doom), and Doom 2 the Way id Did (shockingly, for Doom 2), is literally that- Doom levels done in the style of the originals. For tougher challenges, try: Scythe (doesn't start as tough as most "classic" megawads, so it's a good place to start) Scythe II Alien Vendetta Kama Sutra Speed of Doom Oh, and play Plutonia from Final Doom, if you haven't done that yet. And once you do that, play Plutonia 2, and PCRP.wad. and this is just really skimming the surface, there's a ton of great stuff out there.

Here's a fun question: how often do you save when playing through a megawad? GZDoom autosaves at the beginning of each level, and I gladly take that, but I've been allowing myself one 'halfway save' for every level, which I can take at any point after more than half of the enemies are dead. I'm not a pistol-start kind of person, but I'm curious how much other people let themselves save.Fag Boy Jim posted:For "More Doom", Doom the Way id Did (for Doom), and Doom 2 the Way id Did (shockingly, for Doom 2), is literally that- Doom levels done in the style of the originals.

I'm not a pistol-start kind of person, but I'm curious how much other people let themselves save. I try to play through each level without saving or dying. If I make it to the end of the level in one piece, I keep everything I've got for the next level (no automatic pistol start). If I die in a level, I pistol-start the level over again. Generally, if a level has more than 200 enemies in it, I'll allow a save.

Hi! This seems like an appropriate enough place to announce this, hopefully some of you guys can help me out. I'm the author of Chocolate Doom (linked in the first post of this thread), and I've just released the first beta of version 2. If you use Chocolate Doom regularly then it would be very helpful if you could try out the beta binaries and let me know about any bugs you encounter. Thanks!

So, late last year (around Christmas time), my cousin (13, but kinda more like 11) found a copy of Ultimate Doom, and since I played a bunch of Doom, he wanted me to help set it up. His computer doesn't really have OpenGL capabilities, so instead of GZDoom I set him up with ZDoom and Doom the way Id Did and Aeons of Death. I figured I'd ask, what are some Ultimate Doom .wads that are compatable with standard ZDoom? Edit: vv I'm tempted to, that just might be his Christmas present. catlord fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Oct 12, 2013 |

You should give it a try, it's not as though Doom is fairly graphics intensive. I was playing GL Doom Legacy back on a computer with an integrated ATI Rage Pro back in the 90s, so certainly even a cruddy budget machine can do that now.

I know you're on probation, but if you are reading this I just wanted to thank you for including a Blue's News link. That site, and one called 3D Gamers or similar I think, were effectively synonomous with early FPS games for me. I was really surprised to find recently that Blue's News is still active (and aesthetically almost unchanged from when I read it 10+ years ago). It's also sad to think about how that site was named after the guy's dog, Blue, who he would mention in updates and who is definitely way dead now.

There's two ways you can go about this. In the console, please enter one of the two: samsara_cl_ballgag 1 - This command basically tells Duke to put a clap on that trap, and he'll keep his mouth shut without any of his quips. No kill messages, no death messages, no gib messages, etc. samsara_banduke 1 - This, well, forbids Duke Nukem from being played at all. It uses a Spectate system to kick people out of the game that try to enter as Duke, though, which Zandronum has but ZDoom doesn't--so I'm not entirely sure if it will work or not. If neither of these work, please let me know and I'll whip up a quick version!

Also, had him check his graphics card, it's actually better than I expected. I thought it'd be an Intel chip or something, which I know doesn't really work with GZDoom, but turns out it's some sort of Nvidia card, so thanks for that, that'll help out a lot.
