Thyrork posted:How to go about playing quake 1 in TYOOL 2019? Was thinking mods too. I use Quakespasm and made shortcuts for each of Quake, Quake: Exp1, Quake: exp2, Quake: Arcane Dimensions and play them using my computer when it gets dark outside. Edit: There's also some console commands somewhere to bring back the proper pixelated graphics and similar lighting style to OG Quake, but I'm at work and do not have access to this information. chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jun 24, 2019 |

Thyrork posted:How to go about playing quake 1 in TYOOL 2019? Was thinking mods too. http://neogeographica.com/site/pages/tools/quakestarter.html might help (if you are on Windows). That includes the Mark V engine for convenience with the downloading stuff, but you could also download and drop in the latest Quakespasm or FTE or whatever if you like. Also there's lots of readme files in there on various topics if you want to explore the "proper pixelated graphics" mentioned above and other tweaks. ---------- DarkPlaces is a little iffier, since it changes a nontrivial amount of physics/lighting/texturing that can break or at least visually goof up various bits of custom content (like the aforementioned Copper). On the other hand there are some mods that REQUIRE DarkPlaces (like the aforementioned "Quake 1.5"). My approach is to generally just use Quakespasm or FTE for singleplayer stuff, and make a separate DarkPlaces installation elsewhere if I really need it for some specific mod.

Final Doomer thoughts: The JPCP weapon set seems too cute for its own good. It's got two themes going on - silencer combat and wombo comboing enemies for massive damage - neither of which play well with normal Doom playstyles/maps, I feel. I did MAP15 of Eviternity with it, which has one big horde standoff section, and doing it with a dot-only rocket launcher equivalent is really painful. The idea of individually comboing enemies to deal a lot of damage - opening with the slot 4 weapon for the damage boost and using slot 6 for cleanup - is interesting, but hard to pull off against large, mixed groups. Because everything's a dot/individually a minor hit you also have very little opportunities for crowd control by provoking pain states, which makes crowd shaping a mess. Fun triple-barrel shotgun (not as good as the melee-range BtSX one, though), and the NRG Katana is amazing. I think this weapon set would work well for a mapset with small groups of difficult enemies. Maybe that's JPCP, I don't know. It would be hilarious in E1M8, though. Anyone else doing the Eviternity + Final Doomer combo, do JPCP first to go easy on yourself.

I mean, the weaponsets are tailored with their respective maps in mind, and JCP definitely works really well with JCP's design. Wait until FD makes a set for Eviternity I guess.

I found a way to finish up the remaining Sunder levels I left, with this mod, an AI Director. I'm in no way good enough to play it vanilla, without a mod like Guncaster, that's for sure. I could have used something like the Ultimate Custom Doom, that allows to say, receive only 50% damage from enemies or do 30% more damage, but as I said before, the real issue is that I was tired of the extreme slaughter maps style. I came to appreciate the style (the crowd control, the lane clearing, the target prioritization, etc) over time but not enough to play more than 3-4 levels in a row, and not with levels with more than 4000 enemies. I found that AI director mod that replaces the monsters at start by their own, you can set how many there are at the start, and how many appear on new spawning waves and what rate the spawning waves occur (IF there is new waves). So with that a level with 5500 enemies (I tested it with level 15) can be reduced to 1400 monsters + a pair of new enemies every minute, or maybe only 400 monsters + faster or bigger waves. It even can preserve the boss monsters, and optionally also alter the item roster. And it isn't totally random, if a level had mostly imps, it will keep the same style. In any case, this and Sunlust will have to wait, right now my priority is continue with Adventures of Square.

Behind the innocent and silly looking aspect, it's a very solid experience, with maps with good flow, competent encounter design and surprisingly good weapons. Really, they are paint guns so you could imagine they are crappy but they feel very nice and the enemies blow up satisfyingly! i'm gonna have to check this out. i wish there were goofier fps games.

For years I thought Duke Nukem was a title, like Baron or Prince. Finding out it was actually just his first name and he has no Royal title was a slight disappointment, as the idea of 1980s action hero Prince Charles blowing poo poo up and chilling with strippers was somewhat amusing. I have still never met anyone with that as a first name, though I concede Bill Duke is an enjoyable character actor.

My after shave is called Duke Cannon and every time I use it I gotta quote Duke lines. I like to think Duke Cannon is an alternate universe Duke Nukem where Duke Cannon Forever actually came out in 2001 and was an instant cult classic. Instead of Bombshell it's Madame President who decides to take matters into her own hands.

I've been playing Painkiller Black Edition and it crashes to desktop every time I try to start level 3-2: Abandoned Factory  Trying to load saves in 3-1: Train Station was a total crapshoot too. I don't suppose anyone else has experience with this? e: holy crap I think I fixed it. I deleted a bunch of my old saves and the level loaded just fine.

david_a posted:? Wolf3D uses both RLEW compression along with his own method. Yeah, and it looks like an LZ encoding but worse. For example, while backrefs in "Carmack compression" take three or four bytes, backrefs in deflate (combined LZ and Huffman c.f. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1951 ) can be represented in less than one byte.

Man I love Golden Souls a LOT but I really hope the map design is a little better in 3. The amount of bottomless death pits with unforgiving checkpoints was a nightmare and resulted in me starting to abuse quick saves. Edit: Save states? The gently caress am I talking about.

The Kins posted:Wasn't the developer of Quake 1.5 doing a cut-down Quakespasm version based on AD...? He did say he wanted to. Dunno if/when that will pan out. That developer BTW, makes really good maps for "normal" Quake. They are all hiding out in mapjam packs so far, so some folks may not have come across them. They're just good at feeling like an adventure that goes places, even for fairly small maps. Someday I'll make an effortpost to get into more detail maybe, but anyone who feels like poking around in those mapjams could do worse than trying out Bloodshot's contributions. (And those are some excellent jams in general.)

it looks good, but I'm one of the handful of people on the planet who really liked the original Xen; I think the barren alien nature of it is gonna be diluted somewhat with swamps, vegetation and human tech lying around the place.

Actually I think I agree--I generally preferred the original's abstract "rocks floating in a giant void surrounded by glowing cosmic amoebae". Nothing looked especially familiar. The stuff in the Black Mesa video looks nice, but I see things that look a lot like trees and weeds and grass.

Whoever predicted years ago Xen would end up like a planet from Mass Effect was right . People hated Xen because it was weird and alien like. Now it’s ... a generic jungle swamp thing .
