I've accidentally deleted the (amazing) Roland soundfont I was using with BassMIDI - I vaguely remember someone here linking to one a while back but can't find the post. Can anyone help please? Windows MIDI sounds awful  e: Happy birthday, Q3A.

Noticed this on the ZDoom project forums last night, and am pleasantly surprised. Not one for purists, but I think some of you might like BDJ. Yes, it's a Brutal Doom variant with a bunch of new stuff. There's about fifty of them out there, but this one kinda stands out by having a bit of vision, to the point where it's bundled with a somewhat tweaked version of Knee Deep In ZDoom as the recommended campaign. Weapon balance is pretty radically changed, but the biggest gameplay change is off-hand grenades (which are actually really good and precise) and putting melee as a quick action. Killing an enemy in melee has a pretty good chance of triggering a fatality, and you get a halfway decent reward for doing them. I murdered an imp and got five grenades for it - each monster type has its own reward. You're also far more likely to melee-finish monsters, as there are visible health bars. Getting a Baron Of Hell down to 5hp and then kicking it in the balls is nice.

Small CA and Terra maps are not included due to their sizes, but these maps remain available for selection by pro users via Create Match.

Re: Descent talk, which was some days ago I've just remembered about the UDK game Sol Contingency, and went to their facebook to see how is the progress going... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WyhK4Fbawg Apparently they're in trouble with Interplay and got C&D in September, the last update (from which above video comes) was in the end of October. Anyone knews anything more? Also there was the Doom 3 mod similiar to Descent, which I saw video of some years ago... and it seems the development stopped at that point. Also, reposting this link for Descent's music afficionados: http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?topic=1255.0

Descent 3's intro still upsets me. The new Pyro in that game isn't nearly as cool looking as the GX.

Segmentation Fault posted:Wait what's the point of pro then if you don't get the special maps? On reflection, the full maplist being on public servers with no voting just makes them worse. There's next to no chance to get a good duel map in the end-of-match voting pool (which is just 3 random maps) and all the servers are currently stuck on completely awful ones that nobody wants to play.

Wow, never thought this would see the light of day again! Day 1 purchase for me, even though already have a disc copy. Now to hope Gog got Outlaws as part of the Disney agreement... e: wait, didn't a game come out recently with the same name? Wonder how they'll work that one out.

It will probably work out similarly to the whole thing where the Ghostbusters came out as a film years after there was a show called the Ghostbusters on TV that they'd apparently never heard of. As in nothing will happen... unless they make a cartoon version of that new game called Strife, which they will have the call "The Real Strife."

Well, the actual name of the game is "Strife:Quest for the Sigil" which should keep it separate enough from "Strife" the moba.

How was called that Terminator FPS that pretty much looked like a Doom TC? I thought it was really cool, also the original Alien Trilogy wich was scary as gently caress for me back in the days.

It's either Terminator: Future Shock or Terminator: Rampage. Although the latter looked more like a Wolf3D clone than anything else. Future Shock is pretty great, though, I think it was the first Doom-style FPS to feature fully polygonal enemies.

Future Shock and SkyNet were the poo poo, the second one especially looked great in hi-res and had real freelook. Too bad it was released at the tail end of MS-DOS era. And we probably will never see a re-release.

Guillermus posted:How was called that Terminator FPS that pretty much looked like a Doom TC? I thought it was really cool, also the original Alien Trilogy wich was scary as gently caress for me back in the days. Bethesda made four Terminator games. The first, published in 1990, was some weird action/adventure game programmed entirely in assembly or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ix9iD64pV4 The second, much less impressive, was a Wolf-3D clone released in 1993. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEOnR_2-ohc The third, released in 1995, used the much-hyped at the time Xngine, which also powered several Elder Scrolls games (Daggerfall, Redguard, Battlespire) and a car racing game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p62hA4GUw8 The fourth, released in 1996, used the same engine and while it was stand-alone, it could also be used as an extension and engine patch. So if you had both Future Shock and SkyNET, you could play Future Shock in SkyNET's updated engine, benefiting from a higher resolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG1P5lgzEVg Future Shock and SkyNET had a humongous inventory. Each weapon slot had both a ballistic weapon and an energy weapon, and a variety of grenades were available too. Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Dec 6, 2014 |

Hi all, I work on Quake Live and hang out in #SAGameDev and people there told me to post here. Tell me how I am worse than Hitler for adding loadouts and the HMG. Also, while not strictly FPS related, I found this, backed it up, and was the first person in 25 years to experience this: thanks for listening.

The Quake Live changes aren't terrible in practice, though the health regen on domination is entirely too fast. Please say you're allowed to upload that floppy image somewhere.
