Ballistic Weapons is a pretty cool mod, but I can't stand how much it slows you down. You move at 50% speed, and if you're on a low grav map the recoil basically doesn't work and you get to move slower. The guys did do a ton of work on it, and it's too bad that their UT3 mod/TC never really went anywhere as interesting.

ExMortis posted:Johnny Law you out there? Hiho! ExMortis posted:1) is there a command to move to next map in the cycle or is it on a timer? Didn't see this in the readmes. Kind of afraid I'll end up on DM4 for 45 minutes if I don't know this ahead of time (edit: ok, 25 frags, but maybe I just wanna skip the map) 1) It's purely according to fraglimit and/or timelimit. A zero limit means "no limit". If both are nonzero then it will end when the first limit is hit (and timelimit is in minutes). If you want to be able to go to the next map on demand, as a jerry-rigged solution you can set up a key bind for "fraglimit 1" which will end the map (or end it Real Soon), and another key bind for "fraglimit 25" or whatever you want the normal limit to be. Hit the bind for fraglimit 1 to end the map, then when intermission happens make sure you restore the real fraglimit before exiting intermission and going to the next map. If you want to get super-fancy you can set up a single key that toggles between the fraglimits and handles the intermission-exit for you. Maybe something like this (probably doesn’t exactly work since I don’t have Quake handy for testing): code:JLaw fucked around with this message at 06:29 on May 29, 2014 |

It's just insult to injury to mag-dump into somebody, and then tag them with a dart that finishes them off. Love the hell out of the AM67, though, and blinding people with the underslung flash feature.

Then there's the assault rifle with the proximity mine launcher. Tagging someone with that causes them to spontaneously explode after a few seconds. If you use the fan-made weapon pack, there's a modded version of the AM67 that shoots .600-caliber AP rounds.

I don't know if its UK only but the painkiller reboot from a couple years ago is currently on sale at 80% off on steam. I remember someone in this thread saying it was good so I bought it. As far as I can tell so far its basically classic painkiller but with nice graphics and co op.

If anyone has any interest in it I would say just to go get the complete pack since it includes all the DLC and collector's edition content (don't even bother with anything that isn't the the black edition or hell & Damnation)

I remember someone in this thread saying it was good so I bought it. As far as I can tell so far its basically classic painkiller but with nice graphics and co op. Yeah, it's pretty good and a nice "best-of" the original game without having to deal with the original's clunky menus, ridiculous tarot card requirements, and how the original deals with difficulty and save games. Them trying to nickle-and-dime you with the DLC is lame, but you get most of the the original's best maps included with the game. For some reason, maps I hated in the original PK seem to be a bit better in the HD remake, and I don't know why. I thought Bridge was boring in the original game, but the HD version was a lot better than I remembered. Leningrad was a pain in the rear end for me in the original, but the remake seems to remove stupid poo poo like the airstrikes at the start of the map and sniping enemies hiding behind windows. It also has a giant Stalin statue stare at you, then walk away at the start of the map and adds actual music instead of an endless loop of the Soviet anthem. Cream-of-Plenty posted:Love the hell out of the AM67, though, and blinding people with the underslung flash feature. I'm becoming more of a fan of popping people with the revolvers and the Desert Eagle. The LeMat revolver is actually really good when you have reloading disabled; you can shred enemies by constantly firing the gun or get close to them and blow them away with the shotgun alt-fire. The revovlers are much easier to control, but blowing a bot away with a scoped DE shot is really cool when you pull it off. The Deus Ex auto shotgun from one of the community bonus packs is the best out of all the weapons, though. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 10:20 on May 29, 2014 |

I've been playing the original Doom (through zdoom) at the office off and on for the last few weeks and finally just beat the third episode yesterday. I'm just starting on Doom 2 now and I was wondering if there were any mods (or maybe just settings) or whatnot to make the game look ... nicer?

If you really enjoy the look of Quake 2, there is Doomsday, which replaces all the sprites with chunky ugly models.

It's kind of a shame nobody's made very convincing 3D models for all of the Doom characters/sprites to my knowledge; a proper set of models for 'em would be amazing. I mean, the geometry of the one in the post above me looks okay, but the texture has a lot of additional flair (weird red things on forehead, ridges everywhere like it's some kind of Klingon pinky demon) that kind of kills the look for me.

I'd just love a mod that replaced Doom 3 cacos with proper cacos. The rest of the doom 3 models aren't so wildly different from earlier Doom. Pinky looks a bit different but its the same concept just made more realistic, while caco is almost an entirely different take. I hate the doom 3 cacos. Although I admit its not gonna be the easiest thing to model in 3D.  Wtf is that poo poo? I love the big red caco with the blue mouth  Doom 3's is all brown and bland, and looks like some kind of root-demon.

Elliotw2 posted:Pretty sure the red thing are part of the death animation since the one on the far left doesn't have them. The Doomsday models have like three levels of battle damage or something, which was the one almost-cool thing about playing with that back when I first got started on source ports. edit: My visual go-to is always Doom Expanded, has nicer weapon animations, blood, lighting, more death animations for enemies. No gameplay changes apart from making Revenants stupidly overpowered by giving them two missiles and splash damage, but I can upload my version where I crudely commented out most of the stuff to do with revenants.

Just play around with the settings in gzdoom. Max res, AA, allow models, resize textures, etc etc. You might even notice frame rate drop with everything turned on/up.

Its still pretty fun if you approach it as a horror shooter like Fear, (especially in VR, holy poo poo is it scary) but its pretty meh for a doom game. You're way too loving slow for one. And the shotgun feels weak, that's unforgivable.

If you play Doom 3 make sure to get the BFG edition since that rebalances things to be a lot more fun as a shooter(for one thing you can use the Flashlight and a weapon at the same time now), it comes with both Doom 3 expansions, and perhaps most importantly it comes with Doom 1 & 2(in WAD format at that) including the No Rest For The Living episode that used to be exclusive to the Xbox Live version of Doom 2(also in WAD format so you can use it with source ports) Also quick question; who owns the rights to Strife?(I ask this cause I noticed that not counting Chex Quest, it's the only idTech 1 game that's not available for purchase on Steam[or anywhere else], which means that unless you get your hands on an old copy of the game, it's the only idTech 1 game that you'd have to pirate to play[since Chex Quest 1 & 2 are available legally through Chex Quest 3 and every other idTech 1 game is on Steam])

The major issue with high-res texture packs on Doom/Doom 2 is that tthey'll immediately clash with custom textures included with player WADs, no matter if the author of the the texture pack had been able to make the textures absolutely perfectly.
