I strongly suggest using the DoomRPG launcher for it instead of ZDL, but if you want to you have to make the DoomRPG folder into a pk3 file, and then load it and whatever compatibility patches your pwad/iwad needs. If you want to use the DoomRLA with it, you should load DoomRLA.wad, then the monsters, hud, and finally DoomRPG itself.

drrockso20 posted:well I'm lazy and computer illiterate enough that I don't want to mess with making batch or shell files(one of the reasons I use ZDL, cause it makes running Doom simple as hell), but when I try to set up ZDL to launch DoomRPG I can't figure out how to get it running with that(turns out there's no issues with DoomRLA and RL Monsters cause those are just WAD files and ZDL can handle those easily) I don't use ZDL, but all I had to do for my launcher was to get it to load the appropriate folders in the DoomRPG folder... but I guess if you're totally unwilling to make a batch file, there isn't much you'll be able to do about that. edit: elliot is much better versed in this and his suggestion is WAY better than the way I currently do it. edit^2: Also, if you're really this lazy and aren't willing to expend even a modicum of effort, there is no way you'll ever find the energy to bind the keys for DoomRPG/RL and figure out the menu system. Just don't bother.

Throw everything in the folder in either a .zip or .7z file and rename it as .pk3 or .pk7. Or you can use the command line options, the launcher normally uses this, replace paths and add files as needed. "G:\games\PC\Doom\gzdoom.exe" -iwad Doom2 -file "G:\games\PC\Doom\pwad\DoomRLArsenal.wad" "G:\games\PC\Doom\pwad\DoomRLHUD.wad" "G:\games\PC\Doom\pwad\DoomRLMonsters.wad" "G:\games\PC\Doom\DoomRPG-master\DoomRPG" Karasu Tengu fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Daikatana 64 is loving awful, and I say this as someone that is a legit fan of the original game. The game is slow and clunky, map design is horrid throughout the entire game (not just E1 and the end of E4), and it it looks like complete rear end. The only good part is the so bad it's funny NPC dialogue Kins posted.

Keiya posted:I need to play Deus Ex some time... I also need to get around to System Shock 2... Oh my god yes those are some nugget of gold in the endless sea of lovely video games. System shock 2 is actually creepy and atmospheric. I even think it gets better with age since it the lost to time theme works well with the lonelyness of space. I played it for the first time a year ago and it still held up. Depends on your tolerance for lovely graphics. The interface design is solid as gently caress and when you adapt to it, it feels very natural and free. Just make sure you rebind the controls. Deus ex is great but takes a while to get going. Its interesting all the way through. Both games have good level design and stat mechanics. The shooting in both of them is servicable, almost bad. Later on you turn into a total demigod by middle to late game. Good poo poo

 what the gently caress is going on.For all the scrubs in the thread, you can play the vanilla versions and they're good too. But if you never played them back in the day, you may miss out on the nostalgia that lets us ignore the simple textures of the time. You could use the following: Deus Ex New Vision: http://www.moddb.com/mods/new-vision System Shock SHTUP: http://www.moddb.com/mods/shtup-system-shock-2-texture-upgrade play both of these games right the gently caress now.

As great as sshock2 and Deus Ex are, please don't play them vanilla. Here's the post I made in the GOG thread about what mods to use: Lemon Curdistan posted:For sshock 2: At the very least, use biomod and SCP, which are the fan patches/rebalance mods. The better textures/models stuff you can skip if you want. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jun 23, 2015 |

I don't know about you guys, but I've been playing SS2 and DX vanilla and it's been great outside of having to turn up the brightness since it's a really dark game. I'm pretty sure the only mod I even used was the Malkavian mod.reinardus vulpes posted:Given the subject of the thread, I vote for "Computers today is easy to use."

I'm gonna be a  and say to only play Deus Ex and SS2 with the mods that make it just work on modern OS (Deus Exe, kentie's DX10 renderer, whatever unofficial patch there is for SS2 nowadays).If you want to play with the high-res textures for DX, that's cool, but please don't use HDTP. Holy crap the models are bad.

I played through Deus Ex my first time with DeusExe and Shifter. It wasn't until after I'd beaten the game that I'd noticed that there was some sentiment that Shifter was a mod better suited for second playthroughs than first playthroughs. Can't say as I remember why, exactly (something to do with it heavily promoting stealthy non-lethal playthroughs over all other kinds by giving you more EXP for playing that way, IIRC), but I never lost much sleep over it (because that was precisely the kind of playthrough I'd wanted to do regardless).

I played through vanilla Deus Ex for the first time just a year or two ago and it's totally fine, I've never been interested in Shifter/Biomod because it sounds like a lot of unnecessary additions. Just slap whatever thing it is that makes Deus Ex look like it's supposed to (New Vision? I can't remember) and get in there.

There's no need to play deus ex with 'balance mods' and i'd strongly advise using them for a first playthrough. For gently caress's sake. All you need is the dx10 renderer and maybe the new vision texture mod because it provides unobtrusive texture upgrades that are faithful to the originals. HDTP is appallingly ugly garbage. koren fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jun 23, 2015 |

If the objective is to get rid of the bugs or exploits, then that's not the way to go. The DX10 renderer is a good choice, but biomod and shifter should be used after you're done playing through the game normally at least once.

Biomod rebalances skills and augs to remove lovely trap choices from the game, which makes it objectively better for a first playthrough by someone who's never played Deus Ex before. It also adds small convenience tweaks like stacking items in the inventory or mantling. Play it vanilla to see what vanilla is like on your second playthrough if you want, but telling people they should play it vanilla on their first playthrough is dumb purism. Likewise, SCP is bug fixes and a couple of balance tweaks. There's literally no reason not to use both with their respective games.

I'm playing that Prodoomer mod. The RPG elements seem to be well done, and the spells are useful in their own way (especially the sandbags), but then it takes graphics and sounds from a bunch of games and makes this weird mishmash. This does mean there's a huge variety of enemies, though. Some of them are really overpowered, especially the Vores introduced in Level 9. Having homing projectiles that can follow you all over a level and kill you in one hit is not a good idea. The levels are pretty big, some of them are horrible switch hunts, though. I had to noclip a couple of them because I flipped all the switches I could find and I still couldn't advance. There's also Sonic Rings hidden in every level, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get most of them without cheats. This mod has a serious case of "if I can find it, everyone can" syndrome. I don't think it was play-tested very well. I can't help but keep playing it, though, just to see how bad it can get.

Yeah, I'd definitely wait till the second play through before installing either Shifter (what i prefer) or biomod. The dx9 or 10 (depending on your system) renderer is basically a requirement on modern systems though.
