Jordan7hm posted:Term - you said that you were friends with some of the Japanese community pack mappers. Do you know if they've done other stuff? Is there some underground Japanese wad author scene out there producing hidden gems, or is this it? Yeah, there's a nice chunk of mappers going around, but most of them you've probably already played--you just didn't know they were Japanese. tatsurd-cacocaco (the head of the project) is probably the most recognizable dude, and even then he's a "oh it's THAT guy!". He's a speedrunner. You've probably played his stuff in the 1994TU or Plutonia Revisited Community Pack. Honestly, outside of the initial novelty, it's pretty straightforward. They speak Japanese, we speak English, most of the areas we post about stuff on are English, Doom is an English game, so they don't really make a huge fuss. Still, if you're really interested in following the Japanese scene, there's several dedicated 2chan threads up and going about the game. Or if you don't like 'chan boards, there's a wiki and several blogs. skasion posted:Is anybody else having this problem when running Demonsteele in ZDoom? DemonSteele unfortunately doesn't support non-Doom games. Sorry. It is a palette screw-up, DemonSteele uses a desaturated and slightly darker color palette reminiscent of 80s animation--since it's based off Doom colors, what's happening is that it's applying to the Heretic/Hexen colors, which...make things look wonky.

While it confirms that the Doom scene is never not active, I'm kinda surprised the number is so low. I wonder what the ratio of single maps/megawads/gameplay mods is. I'd imagine there's more big releases now than in 1995.

Support for a game would go quite a bit beyond just fitting it with the proper palette. The good news is that it's going to be much easier to do that for ZDoom from now on, since you can now filter files by game, so you can make stuff that will only be loaded for Doom and other stuff that'll only be loaded for Heretic. The bad news is that DemonSteele is also made for Zandronum.

A couple months ago I made a similar one, taken directly from the /idgames database: Each data point in his graph is "files uploaded during entirety of x year" where it looks like your graph has a much smaller unit for the x axis (month?). We see a similar shape, however, big spike in 1995, smaller spike in 2005, gentle bump in 2015.

Each game, whether it's Heretic or Hexen or Doom, still loads zdoom.pk3 which has the definition of the actors. This is why you can still summon the EntityBoss actor from Strife while in netgames with sv_cheats 1 enabled and suddenly everyone starts dying to an invisible, indestructable, instant-kill boss. Not that I would ever do anything like that. Regardless, what this means is that replacing all of the enemies or weapon pickups won't affect other games. This is the same way Samsara works, everything is replaced in one lump sum. (I'm not going to do Strife again, though. I'm not. gently caress Strife modding. gently caress Strife modding)

One of the reasons you barely see any mods for Strife is because a lot of Strife's support in ZDoom is reverse-engineered and hardcoded, to the point where simply replacing one thing can break the entire game. Modding for Strife is extremely difficult, and as the least popular of the idtech1 games, it's very unrewarding. Unfortunately, this leads to a vicious cycle of few mods for Strife = people don't play Strife much = few people mod for Strife = few mods for Strife = people don't play Strife much, and on and on it cycles.

Strife being a game were changing one thing can break everything has nothing to do with reverse engineering, and everything to do with its original "forward" engineering. In fact it's a lot easier to make Strife mods for ZDoom than for vanilla. But yeah if you don't want to break the main questline while still changing the gameplay, good luck! A lot of stuff happening is found in map conversation scripts (e.g., the people giving you a crossbow to assault the Order's sanctuary) so if you want to replace the crossbow by a different weapon you have to edit the map scripts... The gameplay in Strife is also a lot more RPG-ish than the typical Doom shooter. You start with a lousy weapon and you miss half your shots, you end up with increased accuracy and health and godlike weapons such as the incendiary grenade launcher. You can't put this kind of progression when you're used to making a string of pistol-startable maps.

I think it's the one game I played back in 4th grade that is still active! Yeah, Quake gets one or two releases a month, but man, are they pushing the limits of the engine! Some of the geography being done in the new fan maps is amazing. And of course the Doom-inspired Quake weapon set here looks cool. I think a big reason Duke died is that Dukeworld.com died. There wasn't another major Duke site for people to migrate to. Still, I give Dukeworld.com credit for giving my favorite Duke 3d map: 'Voltron.MAP'

Man, that reminds me of two of my favourites Duke3D maps. If someone could help me find them, I'd be much appreciative. 1) it was a huge space station. I remember that it had four wings, three of which were blocked off via key card access. There was a pool onboard, and I think the whole thing was a hospital. Massive level. 2) This one was almost like a free roaming city block. One of the few things I can remember is that there were walkways, and despite Hollywood Holocaust pulling off this trick, this was the first time I ever noticed stretched out door sprites working as bridges between a few buildings. I'd very much love to play this again, it was a blast in multiplayer. Like I said, it was a city block, almost free-roaming. There was probably key card access to some spots, but other than that, you could go where you wanted from the start. I think there was a park in the middle of the block, almost like a really small version of central park.

How active is the Thief modding community these days? Would check but on my phone. Used to play loads of excellent quality maps about ten years ago for Thief 2. They'd reached a similar point to the Doom modders in that you could arguably skip the official campaign and go straight into the higher quality custom levels.

Duke gets maybe 1 or 2 new mappers a year but the activity has always been barely a pulse for quite some time now. It won't die since most of the people there are ones that have been around forever (yours truly included) I'll still always be chugging away at one thing or another for it anyways.quote:1) it was a huge space station.
