Finished Dukehard. I found it fun overall, but holy poo poo gently caress that level "Power Out". I guess I'm not oldskewl ~~tr00~~ gamer enough but man it took me forever to figure out that you can jump outside on the ledges, simply because I couldn't see around the edge of the window when I was outside so I never thought to try.

Just played through Going Down on Hurt Me Plenty. I highly recommend avoiding UV unless you're incredibly hardcore, as even carrying weapons between levels, they're pretty intense and hardcore maps. They're also exceedingly creative. Episode 3 has a really squishy, gory, meaty hellscape-ish feel to it with a lot of tricks and traps and a few straight-up slaughter maps. Pretty neat final boss, and the epilogue map was very clever, too, although I was stuck for a while. My advice: Check the living room again after going to the toilet, near the doorway. General rule of thumb for episode 3: Don't even try to clear all the enemies on each map. Sometimes, you just have to run like hell.

Does anybody have D/L links for Going Down EP1 and EP2? I can't find them anywhere, and the "Episode 2" thread's OP on the Doomworld Forums has been edited to only have EP3 for some dumb reason.

The author merged all three episodes together to create a full 32 map megawad. He just left the "E3" in the wad name, which would certainly cause confusion.

I kinda like the idea of some of the maps. Time Warp (map05) was pretty unique and unexpected. That's about as far as I've gotten so far, but it's an impressive start to a megawad. I like the theme of going down floors in a building and wiping out monsters on each one.

Dominic White posted:going down Playing through going down for the first time and I'm glad that I started on HMP too. It's harsh and loves to teleport loads of enemies where you previously cleared, but is really fun. Also Dominic, are you going to update your lovely.pk3 with the latest smooth doom? Your compilation is my to-go for vanilla gameplay right now.

I fully tested it yesterday by playing through most of Going Down. The only problem I noticed was that some level endings are meant to strip you of all your weapons, but don't - I guess it's because Smooth Doom uses renamed inventory items. You'll have to honor-system it and just restart those levels manually.

It's amazing how much those things sound like the synth chips found in the Genesis/Megadrive and such. They still sound better than 32x Doom though.

Pretty sure that there's no way to make dynamic lights not clip through walls due to the way the renderer handles them. I wouldn't know the specifics but I've heard this discussed before and I'm pretty sure that was the bottom line of things.

Last I checked, it was due to the lack of information for the resulting vertex buffer, making any and all surfaces simple polys, and clipping lights against every surface would look silly (or was it outright impossible?). It's not actually a problem exclusive to GZDoom. Most modern renderers have a simple "point lights on dynamic surfaces don't clip" method (even idtech4 (Doom3) had simple sphere lights), only with GZDoom every surface is a dynamic one, and every dynamic light is a simple sphere.

Also, does "SBrightmaps.pk3" apply the proper brightmaps for the extra Smooth Doom sprites? The brightmaps are correct for the most part, but not 100% perfect. I figured they were good enough, though. I notice that they might be one pixel out of alignment on a couple of frames, but it doesn't look too bad. May not be consistent between sprite variants, though. And as mentioned, I can't do much about the lights clipping through walls. It's still good-looking for the most part. Surprisingly, I didn't need to make any tweaks to mugshots for that HUD. That part just worked automagically, much to my surprise! I did need to revert the ammo/weapons counters to pre-Brutal-Doom designs from an earlier build, and shift around the position on a few elements though. Edit: Updated all downloads, as parts were updated yesterday/today: Lovely Doom All-In-One (Just Add Doom2.WAD) Lovely Doom PK3 BTSX-Style HUD for Smooth Doom/Vanilla Looks like some of the Smooth Doom bugs are fixed. Level 20 of Going Down now correctly strips the players weapons. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Sep 29, 2014 |

I've had to manually add the new frames and specific the appropriate size before it worked on the NC HUD

I'm going to take a guess and assume that GZDoom Lights.pk3 is dynamic lights settings and lightmaps specific for GZdoom.

Yeah, the basic Lights.pk3 is the dynamic light file, although I think Smooth Doom may cover most of those anyway - can't hurt to double up. Brightmaps/SBrightmaps handle glowy points on textures and sprites.

Man I think I really love brightmaps. A while back, I took one of the more common brightmap packs and threw it into a sort of Frankenstein'ed modifications WAD that I use for a lot of Doom playthroughs. I'm a big fan of the little details it adds to vanilla Doom II textures, like lighting up the tech base computer screens/controls, and giving a lot of the enemies glowing features. I can see where it wouldn't be for everybody (for example, it can make it easier to see some enemies in the dark because their eyes glow) but, man, I'm all for it. In other sacrilegious news, I've been playing my Doom WADs to the tune of Hotline Miami's soundtrack.

I'm really curious as to why they changed the announcer. I mean, I can understand getting a hold of the VA again after this long is practically impossible, but were a whole bunch of lines really needed? It's not like they introduced any dramatically new game modes. Besides, that voice is iconic. I mean, seriously iconic. You say "IMPRESSIVE" in that voice and even people who've never played Quake before recognize it.
