Is there a doom mod where doomguy is riding a horse, preferably with armour? Just in the regular levels, maybe a small horse or a Shetland pony or something to fit in the corrridors.

It probably wouldn't be hugely difficult to whack together a jokemod using Daggerfall sprites (its thematic!)

Doom 3 have these issues too or is just nobody bought that and everybody just did Doom 1 and 2?

The Kins posted:From the sounds of things, they've been knocked offline accidentally and are getting restored sometime soon. Apparently the PS3 port had a similar issue and has already been fixed? Thank you. I was kinda worried about losing them forever if my 360 dies some day. I guess if Doom 64 is coming for PC and PS4, Doom 64Ex will be in a bad situation considering how lovely Bethesda is.

Holy poo poo I know it isn't Bethesda studios the one behind this but did they cut the leash on Todd Howard and he felt to put SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAIL into the ports. If they wanted to do something fancy they could have just asked certain dudes that did a good one with Turok and so...

/reads thread about Doom release in consoles in other forums So... -It has always online DRM -It doesn't have proper widescreen resolution/ratio, it has two sidebars that can't be turned off and the pixels are slightly stretched. -You can't remove the bottom bar and play in full screen, too -It has some issue with the music, it's a bit slower than it should -lightning has some issues -no 60fps -no customizable controls -No online play, only local -Obviously, no mod support (although, you know, if they enabled mods in console Skyrim and F4, they also should be able to allow user made wads!) -They removed the old port version from the previous console generation even for people who bought it, there is only a weird workaround with a retail doom3 bfg copy to get them -No rest for the living console exclusive episode from the previous version weirdly missing. Uhh.... /hugs source ports Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Jul 27, 2019 |

They run nicely and the controller handling is great.

Speaking of source ports, sometimes i have to wonder why there is so much difference in performance between PrBoom+ and GZDoom. I used Saturnine Chapel in both. It's a very small level, with a lot of animated textures, but that's it, it's positively tiny in comparison with other mods and it doesn't have complicated scripting or custom stuff. I also played it with all my usual mods turned off in ZDL, at the same resolution in both engines and both in openGL mode. I also turned off texture resizing, bloom, lightning, AO in GZDoom. The result? GZDoom 35 fps, PrBoom 70 fps, in the same place. why.

because PrBoom is the superior port you should use for everything that doesn't have mod features or 3d stuff that require GZDoom

Zaphod42 posted:Getting it running as homebrew isn't sufficient for Bethesda to sell it officially. I don't know what all features the switch version has, but if you want to do achievements or multiplayer that's gonna be a good bit of work, testing things to make them polished enough to actually sell is a whole thing, and then you have to get it certified by Nintendo which you don't if you're just throwing a homebrew build on. There is nothing that requires it to be online as people have repeatedly said. Just take the L already. EDIT: also "sufficient for Bethesda to sell it officially" is funny as hell when people literally can't play it because it cant connect to the server. At launch.

Turin Turambar posted:The result? GZDoom 35 fps, PrBoom 70 fps, in the same place. why. There can be a lot of explanations. The simplest being that you have FPS capping enabled in GZDoom, since 35 Hz is Doom's normal refresh rate. That said, other factors that can play include how GZDoom just as a lot more feature, and even if they aren't used, their existence means more overhead in the code. Another thing is that after a long series of benchmarks on various platforms, it was found out that the optimizations that made ZDoom faster on old machines now make it slower on contemporary hardware, and vice-versa. Graf prefers to optimize for recent hardware, so if your computer is getting old, then GZDoom's performances will be hindered. In that case, you could try LZDoom to see if it works better for you.

Can someone briefly explain what UNITY is and why I should be mad at it

# ? Jul 27, 2019 16:29 |

It's a game engine, like Unreal Engine or even the Doom engine. It's not really what you should be mad about so much as everything else that's wrong about the port, though the time spent wrapping the Doom engine in Unity seems like it would be better spent on implementing features people actually want.

Graf prefers to optimize for recent hardware, so if your computer is getting old, then GZDoom's performances will be hindered. The developers don't necessarily try to actively boot out older systems (I think Windows XP support was only dropped recently due to Visual Studio changes?), but between Graf preferring newer systems and dpJudas testing on a 32-core Threadripper, there's not a huge amount of testing/focus on them. Outside of the LZDoom dev, of course, but he's just one man who IIRC is dealing with some serious health issues.

Minidust posted:Can someone briefly explain what UNITY is and why I should be mad at it it's a really popular game design framework/toolkit/language/whatever, especially for cross-platform projects. If you're releasing a small game on a bunch of different platforms, it's one of the best starting points as I understand it. The thing is that Doom is Doom, and it doesn't need to be jammed into a 2018 gaming toolkit to work fine, especially with all the ports and toolkits and everything from over the years. Bethesda basically took Doom (a round peg), added poo poo to it to make it a square peg, then is trying to shove it into a round hole again. It's absurd overkill and absurdly overdone when all anyone needs is "load Doom, shoot monster."

As far as I can tell it's the butchered Nerve port that they've been reheating for years with bugs remaining (like the slow music) from when it was packaged with Doom 3 on the original XBOX. Surely they could have spent a little time in the last decade and a half to do as little as hack in 16x9 support but I guess crappy looking menus are more important.

Graf prefers to optimize for recent hardware, so if your computer is getting old, then GZDoom's performances will be hindered. i7 4770k, gtx 1080 oc, 16gb ram, 2 ssds... I don't think it will be this. I think it's just what The Kins suggested, this particular wallscroll feature is maybe implemented in a slightly unoptimized way in GZDoom, usually it doesn't matter, but in this map where it's everywhere outside, it may cause the slowdown. I'm playing a much more normal map now, let me benchmark that... At least they took the feedback well and they are reverting it, gj Bethesda.

I use Crispy Doom for anything that doesn't require more than a limit-removing port, and the mousing feels pretty similar to GZDoom defaults if I turn off acceleration and set the sensitivity to around 30.
