foozwak posted:The last patch, which is how the game comes from Steam and GOG, fixed some MP stuff but introduced the bug in SP where enemies can see through things they shouldn't, like tents and such. Depending on the difficulty they'll still be able to see you from pretty far away, but not as much as with the patch. To get it back to the way it should be before the patch you have a bunch of options, but I would suggest the AMD patches first. They add a tiny bit more to the game and make it look a bit better. You can find the patches and clear instructions here: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I assume there haven't been any full update mods ala KOTOR2 and Deus Ex, correct?

I'm not sure on good tutorials, so I'll just link some ones I used to get started. Learned how to add borders and whatnots in this one. Have the player do what we won't: Go outside. IMPORTANT THING IF YOU WANT TO DO MONSTER DEATH EVENTS Skybox tricks. Also useful for custom skies. Other than that, it should be easy to make your cyberdemon megawad.

Lemon-Lime posted:I don't know why, but after playing Doom 4, Trailblazer 1.3 and replaying a bunch of vanilla Doom 1, I'm finding Project Brutality way less fun to play. Trailblazer is fun! It seems rather...unbalanced though (since it leaves you with vanilla enemies). So, I'm going to save that mod for those super packed/really difficult mods that are just plain unfun with normal/Brutal DooM. Thanks for the recommend

Lemon-Lime posted:Man, why the hell does GOG not have the Soldier of Fortune games? I have a sudden urge to replay SoF1 and de-limb mooks with the shotgun. The IsoZone has downloads for both SoF 1&2. Community edition 6.1 for the first, second one is just the raw ISO files. You'll need to grab a crack off of GameCopyWorld to run that one properly. My SoF installs were setup like this and I can verify they're virus free. Obviously this poo poo is  , but given both games are effectively abandonware, I doubt me saying openly what to do is a big deal.EDIT: SoF2's HUD is a little hosed if you force it to run in 1080p and you'll need to grab a fix for that as well.

The only major mod I've tried was FCAM, but I didn't care for it. Didn't seem to change much of the fundamentals at all, didn't look noticeably better to my eyes, and changed some small things like some sounds with terrible canned sound effects for some bizarre reason.

I want to make maps too but I will probably have to wait until after I move in a couple of weeks  Actually two things I'd be interested in doing with y'all goons are: 1: Multiplayer Doom/Quake/UT/whatever 2: Make a wad of whatever probably lovely crap we can attempt with Doom Builder

 Using the Doom Builder tutorial, I have learned how to use (most of) the tools and made my first playable Doom level. It has a chainsaw and a demon to kill in it and everything! This is either the start of something wonderful or horrible.

I think a goon community WAD would be pretty good times. Could be tricky trying to agree on any sort of theme or rules or even which order the maps should be played in though. Just make it a hodgepodge?

Lemon-Lime posted:I can't imagine they run particularly well on Windows 10 out of the box, though, do they? SoF1 runs flawlessly on Windows 10 so long as you use the Community Edition 6.1 installer I already mentioned. SoF2 will run on a clean install w/ a crack, but you may encounter a few minor problems, up to and including issues that affect ALL Quake 3 Engine games. Any issues you do encounter for either game are documented, with fixes, on these two pages: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Soldier_of_Fortune http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Soldier_of_Fortune_II:_Double_Helix Personally, the only issue I ran into with SoF2 is the HUD being cut off in 1080p, but there is a fix for that. EDIT: The SoF2 ISO files may not actually be in .ISO format, in which case you'll need to download and install a third-party mounting program instead of using Windows 10's built-in mounting feature.

I'd like some liberty to try out level design, but for the most part I'm cool with working with some prompts and notes. We could say that its designed for pistol starts and that you can play the levels 'out of order' if you want, so there wouldn't be much reason to argue over the order. Electing somebody as an arbitrator would probably be a good idea too. And then maybe have like a vote on things like theme? And probably just stick to stock Doom 1 or Doom 2 or Heretic textures or something so it doesn't look completely bizarre when you get to the third map and start seeing goatse everywhere. (Yeah I don't trust some of you  )

 Somehow I have had the most fun so far making a room that is at the moment totally empty, but with a big light in the middle the casts shadows I plopped down myself. This is just fun and zen to gently caress around with in general, maybe I will eventually get around to putting down imps to fight or something. It really is like I have my own Doom Engine Zen Garden playset or something.

The SVN version is already compiled so there's no installer necessary, you just run the exe after extracting it and it works.
