Someone actually made a wad for the Epistle3 jam for recreating/imagining HL2:E3. https://itch.io/jam/epistle-3-jam https://yakbonebattleaxe.itch.io/epistle3wad Edit: has anyone managed to extract the WAD for that Wolf3D clone in Wolfenstein II yet or is it? It looked emulated so there must be some data that would be either a .pak or .wad friendly type. Uncle Kitchener fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Man I think Diablo was the first Internet multiplayer game I ever played...as I recall one of the first games that really had a kind of central multiplayer system setup for the internet and didn't have to use something like Kali. Funny enough I think Heretic 2 was maybe the first real online multiplayer deathmatch that I played before getting into stuff like Counterstrike when it came out. Played a ton of Duke3D deathmatch and Hexen co-op over the phone lines with my friends though!

I'm doing a Death wish playthrough for GDXblood and its suddenly stopped displaying the on-screen messages when you pick up tomes and ammo and the like. I suppose I could just bull through it, but I kinda like the little bits of lore the tomes give you. Can I fix this?

I don't remember the first FPS I played online, but the first game I ever played online was C&C: Red Alert through the service MPlayer. I was a 10 year old kid, and got crushed every single time by people rushing heavy tanks and base creeping tesla coils  I *think* the first FPS I played online was UT99.

Klaus88 posted:I'm doing a Death wish playthrough for GDXblood... Just so you know, GDX doesn't display palette #1 properly in Blood yet unless the sector lighting is actually set to 1. If you see a weird parallax ceiling (see dwe2m8) or something that's probably it. There's also a large area in the final boss stage that's completely dark because the floor is supposed to be lit up with pal#1. DOSBox displays all this stuff properly if you want to know what it should look like.

I made a game inspired by early FPS shooters (mostly Quake, but many Doom elements) for a Halloween Game Jam. Only had a month to make it. Wish I could have added in rockets and more exciting weapons and gibs in that time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9sD5tCgYlc It's available for download too if anyone is actually interested in playing it. a dmc delorean fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Nov 4, 2017 |

So you can play it with the UT hud and weapons etc From what I remember it's all pretty easy, just drag and drop the system folders from unreal into UT99. drag and drop the first map onto the unreal tourney exe in the system folder, loads it up.. just remember to disable AI bots before hand or it'll put a load of them in amongst all the monsters already in the map.

david_a posted:I don’t know how I feel about literally using a bunch of Doom/Quake sound effects... Where are the textures & models from? Are they original? Does your game do anything that a Quake mod can’t do? The textures are asset purchases (mostly) and the models (as in the monsters) are the same. Weapon models were made by me which is why they're so basic. Sounds are from various sound packs and individual downloads, and the music is from independent artists allowing people to use them in their projects for free. Can it do anything a Quake mod can't do? Probably, if I wanted it to. But I don't. This was a community game jam entry run by Leadwerks Software using the Leadwerks engine, not a game that's going to be sold on Steam or something.

Yeah, game jams are for fun and experimentation. I don't remember a jam game that ended up being a commercial thing (surgeon simulator dooesn't count, they had the game ready for that year's game jam. I was in that jam).

I specifically remember Surgeon Simulator being one of their ready-to-go prototypes and they had the hand-system ready from day-1. It was free advertisement, so no wonder why they chose that event and the theme was heartbeat.

Curious as to why it took half the game for Halo to finally let me use its shotgun. Also almost thought it was useless against the Flood, since the first batch is like a bajillion of the small things that are too spread out for it to be effective, but it turns out it's invaluable against the bigger Flood, so I guess they gave it to me just in time. Also also: hey, I'm further in the campaign than I ever have been, how about that. Usually tapped out (unintentionally) around the snow level, but now I'm up through its backwards rehash. I might actually finish a Halo campaign! Also also also: Yeah, the Library kinda sucks. Didn't hate it as much as I'd anticipated I would, but the copy-paste was as blatant as everyone indicated it was.

Halo's shotgun is pretty much specifically the anti-Flood tool so that's why it takes so long to appear.

The H1 shotgun is also really strong against practically everything, it can one-shot almost anything in the game except gold elites and vehicles, and it carries like 60 shells, which is probably why the early levels don’t let you get one.

It's also got that signature Bungie behavior of only being really effective at point-blank range.

The Marathon 2/Infinity shotgun has a better spread than the assault rifle and does more damage per pellet and (when dual-wielded) more projectiles per second. It's pretty decent at medium range and nothing in those games is effective at long range.

ToxicFrog posted:I remember the flechette rifle being pretty accurate as well. The flechette rifle burns ammo too fast to be much good at range. It will kill stuff but you will run out of bullets before you know it. I’m not sure I’d agree that Marathon weapons are never effective at long range, it’s definitely possible to play it like a shmup and stand off sidestepping fire while pelting enemies with rockets/fusion/enforcer fireballs/pistol rounds. But Marathon’s combat seems to me to reward going in and dancing around your enemies more than staying at a distance most of the time. haveblue posted:Dual pistols are the best long-range weapon, they barely have any spread if you can get them on target without a crosshair. Modern Aleph One has a crosshair option  Weapon-specific graphics even! I think it’s ripped from the XBLA M2 release.

The rocket launcher is the only really effective long-range weapon simply because it at least has no inaccuracy and it's the strongest per-hit weapon. Also the weapon-specific crosshairs were added in a relatively recent A1 update (it's a plugin that, in fact, does rip from the XBLA release), but it's had a generic crosshair option for longer than that.

Meanwhile the MCC version is nice and has a very impressive graphical upgrade and cinematics (optional, of course), which are almost worth the price of admission alone if you are into that sort of thing. Plus you'll have to get an Xbox anyway for Halo3 and ODST, so you might as well.

Also unless the unofficial patch fixes this use your control panel and force Vsync. It's one of those games that ties physics calculations to framerates so you just end up being really slow. Overall I think it's an okay enough port. I do wish I had the throwaway money for an Xbone and MCC because I'm a huge loving Halo fan.

It always felt a shame that Hexen/Heretic never had a longer life span. It would be kinda cool to have a larger semi-open world game with the magical-shooter elements.
