After the rights stuff changes, it'll probably go back up on both. But if you for some reason don't already have any of that, no time like now to grab it, unless you're really into making sure Gearbox gets the money by buying in 2016.

Update if you want to play Arcane Dimensions using DarkPlaces:sock posted:DarkPlaces Patch 1: http://www.simonoc.com/files/ad/ad_v1_42dppatch1.zip (I'm assuming that you DON'T want to install that patch if you're not using DarkPlaces.) It sounds like the reason those three maps don't work in DP is because the "breakables" don't work in DP.

I started playing Duke 3D in earnest for the first time last night! I had to look online to figure my way out of level 3. I guess I have to mentally adjust to the idea of blowing up walls to make progress in some cases.  Using eDuke32 with that updated rendering thing, but I love how pixelly the game still looks.

Duke largely plays fair with its level design. There's a few randomly triggered explosions that will gently caress you over arbitrarily, but the majority of the levels are well thought out. So I never got around to Pirates Doom or Batman Doom, guys.  Because I first wanted to try out gzDoom to make sure everything was working. So I "tested" it. And by tested it, I mean I played through Ultimate Doom again. Compulsively playable, always.

You can do it on E1M2 if you're standing in the wrong place in front of the rotating door to the adult bookstore. Same on E1M3 when you find the giant rotating room with the RPG.

You can use this engine "feat" to your advantage, and lure the pig cop close to the center of the rotating doors, and close it. Four times of a five it will result with a "squished!" message and gross booger stretching from floor to the ceiling.

Yeah a vast majority of my "crushed on geometry" deaths come from maps I made (and was testing) myself. I am pretty sure that adult bookstore rotating door killed me in E1M2 however.

I always hated how Duke3d boss monsters would end the game when they died in a custom map. There were so many cool battles with Cyberdemons etc you could make in Doom maps but it never worked in Duke

I think my favorite Duke thing is that noclip just kills you half the time you use it because the game gets confused about your location unless you have the minimap open.

Not that Build isn't a hot mess of a game engine, but the "bug" in question really has nothing to do with Build itself. Lower-health versions of the non-Battlelord bosses aren't implemented in the game's CON file since they never appear in the core game itself. The fact that you can change that type of stuff by editing a single line in a simple text file is actually a point in the game's favor, if you ask me. It's one case where "it's not a bug, it's a feature" is actually true.

Gotta give it to Doom on that point, though, as well. Even with almost no knowledge of Doom's inner mechanics beyond the basics I could make a .wad, fire up DeHackEd and create custom monsters, weapons, etc for that specific wad - even if they were end boss 'monsters' like the Icon of Sin - with some simple frame and sprite swapping. God, I miss the 90s and being a young kid playing around with DeHackEd. It was simple enough to pick up, play around with a few variables and start making new things with such ease to play with friends. Screwing up a lot, too - I remember accidentally turning the shotgun into a bizarre full-auto cannon that would empty a full inventory of shells at once on a split-second trigger pull or making rockets fly so fast they broke the engine and turned into ROTT drunk missiles that veered in crazy directions and usually killed the shooter. I think the closest I've had to that sort of utility was creating custom units in a C&C: Tiberian Sun editor, where I'd build new unit after new unit until eventually I screwed something somewhere up and the entire massive project would crash (might have been the MLRS that fired low-damage terrain-deforming missiles to salt the earth and prevent base expansion). Rather than debug the massive thing I just wandered off into something else.

Half the fun was figuring out how other people pulled off interesting Dehacked tricks. Twice Risen turned both the pistol and chain gun into laser projectile equivalents and the big, bad gun fired a devastating burst of SSG attacks instead, which was pretty creative. The ultimate was Batman Doom, though. It arrived out of nowhere and pulled off a ton of insane tricks nobody had seen before. I nearly fell out of my chair when Killer Croc lifted a rock off the ground and threw it at me! Impossible! It was only years later that I learned it was using the Arch-Vile resurrection effect to reanimate (lift) rock entities which would instantly fly toward you and die on impact. And I thought I was clever when I made bouncing plasma balls (have the projectile fire another another ball when it dies) and nuclear rockets (use the Arch-Vile jump combined with the BFG spray).

The Batman Doom crew went on to become known as Ace Team. They're the ones that gave us Zeno Clash, Rock Of Ages, Abyss Odyssey, etc. It's good to see that chilean wierdoes are still represented in the Doom mod scene, too - Prodoomer is from that neck of the woods, too.

One of the first things I did in DeHackEd was replace the Lost Soul death animation with the frames of an exploding barrel, then copy the Lost Soul sprite back over those frames. DeHackEd tied behavior to what frame was being used, but the sprite displayed was independent of that. So every Lost Soul that exploded did so with the splash damage of a nukage barrel. I thought this was a cool idea until I took on a Pain Elemental. Dialing down the plasma ball speed and having it alternate sprites between standard blue and Arachnotron green was also fun for multiplayer. You could lay on the trigger, strafe back and forth along a hallway and create a garish, slow-moving bullet hell for anyone who tried to chase you. Best part was it made it really hard to see the rocket coming their way at the same time  This nostalgia really makes me want to bust out DeHackEd again and just start making dumb goofy poo poo.

I never got that much into DeHackEd. About the most I did was make one that lowered the HP of every enemy to 1 and raised my max health to 999, many years ago. Although I did recently come back to it to make one that shifted Revenants to the Mancubus and Arachnotron slots, so you could activate Tag 666/667 on MAP07 with Revenants instead (I believe I shuffled the Mancs to the Revenant's old spot and had Arachnotrons replace Commander Keen, so you could still feasibly use both). Kind of want to make a "hunt the Revenant" stage with that one.
