Probably some poo poo I’m forgetting. And after all that I still prefer how the re-releases look and feel.

I know they have to balance WAD support and performance on old devices but it always bugs me that nothing indicates that "Software" is The Good One. And several (most?) of the names are synonyms.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I'm wrapping up the first episode of HROT and I can definitely agree with these sentiments, which bother me more than anything else thus far. I know people have defended the palette by saying it's thematically appropriate for a dreary Soviet-era FPS but...I don't know, it just strikes me as more boring than anything. To each their own. I felt this way early on but it grew on me as it went on and it really clicked for me (I played all of Episode 2 and 3 on Sunday) but I would love to see this guy's follow-up.

Turin Turambar posted:Do you need to fiddle a lot with gzdoom? I think it only needs a single setting to touch: change the texture filtering used by default. Beyond that I do actually like GZDoom's hardware render look as it's own thing, and obviously on ZDoom maps. Aside from the trilinear mipmapping I leave the anisotrophic filter enabled and turn in 4x MSAA. Meanwhile DSDA-Doom comes with vanilla options out of the box. I believe it defaults to a software renderer out of the box, but it's generally recommended now to use the OpenGL as they've recently implemented indexed lighting so it basically looks like the software renderer, just done in hardware (and with an arguably better fuzz effect).

No hardware renderer ever looks just like s software renderer, in my experience. The Doom software renderer is fast even on older machines and modern ports have backends to make it work flawlessly with modern desktop environments so there is no reason not to use the real thing for map sets that don't specifically require hardware--and those are almost all GZDoom sets anyway.

Yea, I’m sure hardware rendering can get super close so as you never really notice the difference, but that goes back to my original question of whether some wads can work with the new port. The new rerelease works flawlessly out of the box and feels great to play. I’ve still got my GZDoom setup going for when it’s needed, but I prefer to play in the original when I can get away with it. A lot of Doom’s foreboding atmosphere is lost when playing with super clear and crisp graphics, imo.

One of the reasons I ise Woof is that it was the first Boom compatible port to offer 320x200 (and variations for other aspect ratios like 426x200 in 16:9), beating DSDA by at keast a few months.

DSDA-Doom v0.25 Patch Notes posted:Xaser has implemented a new light mode for opengl that closely replicates the visuals of the software renderer. It uses the software palette system (including the pain palette and gamma) and can replicate previously software-exclusive effects like fake fog (recently seen in wormwood 4 map 5). This is the new default for opengl and combines the accuracy of software with the performance of hardware. Enjoy! Woolie Wool posted:The Doom software renderer is fast even on older machines and modern ports have backends to make it work flawlessly with modern desktop environments so there is no reason not to use the real thing for map sets that don't specifically require hardware--and those are almost all GZDoom sets anyway. I've mentioned it before, but I like the International Doom port for IWAD/vanilla/limit-removing content, which is software only and has pretty good defaults. It uses a modified gamma to replicate the darkness of CRTs on modern LCDs, but since the screen the Deck isn't great I turn that back up, and it also inexplicably disables fake contrast which I turn back on. Otherwise it's a good port, do recommend. DSDA is the weird one. PrBoom's OpenGL renderer has a long history, but it's essentially look-for-look parity with its software renderer now, the latter of which is default anyways. I guess there's some massive maps that still run better in hardware, and I prefer the shader-based fuzz effect. If I didn't regularly use a different port exclusively for software rendering then maybe I'd use it here too. It's really a tossup though.

That's what the gently caress it's called. Also, I think the "enemies are a puzzle" thing is really really overstated. I'm part way through the DLC now after completing the campaign, and while there's better/worse ways to deal with things, the player has options aplenty. Doomy Turtle is awesome.

Off the top of my head I can't remember what the filtering mode is called, but the most recent versions of GZDoom have some filtering options that finally look good enough for me to use instead of the no-filter mode. I do still like to keep separate .bat files on hand if I want to switch to a more pure experience, but they've come a long way from the blurry mess they used to be. (Especially for stuff like Back To Saturn X which is almost all new textures anyway.)

Boltgun early impressions: -controls good, movement good (the trailer could look slightly slow but it's decent while playing it, and you have infinite sprint button and a charge button) -performance good (seems silly to say it, but it wouldn't be the first "retro" game with surprisingly bad performance for what it offers). Here the gpu is doing 34-37% of utilization to get 120 fps. -There are manual saves and quicksaves. Some checkpoints too. -On Hard more, playing without a lot of care, I already died on the second level. But once I started to play more seriously, I'm not having problems advancing. I doubt it's going to be a hard game. Ammo scarcity doesn't seem to be a thing, either. At the end of the day, it leans hard on the power fantasy to being a SPACE MARINE, so yeah. -It's cool how the chainsaw works, it really is a bit like the shotgun-hook in DE: you hold a button that slow down time, look at a enemy at what it feels around 13 mts or less, and release the button, and you dash-attack to him. Which is an air-dash if you were in the air, in mid jump! -Enemies aim to your future position, more or less, not where you were at the time of firing (edit the chaos demons doesn't seem to behave this way). Their bullets have a nice red bright touch so they are very visible when they are closer. -There are 24 levels, the first two are fairly short, but I expect they will be longer now. -Cultists are 1 hit paper enemies, but a few of them have melt guns that can gently caress you up. Chaos Marines are similar in danger but a magnitude tankier. Terminators are tougher and with faster RoF, which can be a pain in the rear end if accompanied by other enemies, but they can be fairly well stunlocked on their own. I found some chaos demons that would spit at you some green goop, and others that are bit more like imps or hell knights, with projectiles of similar speed. The demon who splits in two small demons is cool. -Visually speaking, it does a weird thing where some texture are done with big chunky pixels... just to look more retro, lol. It doesn't make sense because they are close to other textures where the pixel size is clearly around 3-4 times smaller. -Level design is ... eh. I'm advancing linearly most of the time, breezing through, so it's hard to notice a level design to comment. -I don't like the armor, it's basically a second health pool which has too be depleted before your real health can be touched. -Your health/armor is reset upon reaching the next level. -The plasma gun has a bit of AoE damage, also to you, so it’s a bit like a mini rocket launcher.

GuyonthecoucH posted:The reflect thing is a bug that most servers running hlbugfix dlls or mods with gauss have it fixed. It's definitely based on the angel you are looking at a specific surface with how repeatable it is. The gap fix makes sense since it doesn't try to pierce multiple walls that are more than 8 units apart if my memory is accurate. Crossfire's my favorite hl1 map ever cause somehow there's no shortage of South American players on pirated copies filling the servers. That main courtyard area has such strange balance for tau control, just an easy back and forth, with tons of crossbow ammo laying around too. Do you know if there's a detailed guide on the splash damage somewhere? I'm convinced anything written on hl1 mechanics besides what you see on twhl just doesn't exist anymore chaosapiant posted:How do ya'll play Doom 64? With the filtering on or off?

i like boltgun a lot so far, im only on the third level, playing on hard, but ive had a chance to play with 3 weapons (boltgun, shotgun, plasma) and all feel good. Might be a little easy so far but I am also probably just overly experienced with FPS games, its always hard to know with retro FPS games if 'hard' means 'hard for general audience' or 'hard for veterans'. Like ultrakill and dusk are very hard on their harder skills, but in like doom and quake the highest 'proper' difficulty skill is kinda the standard. good stuff: - makes you feel badass, goes with more the 'lore' side of space marines as an army of doomguys, instead of the tabletop side where they're goobers who die all the time - taunt button - guns feel good, blowing guys up is very satisfying - skull follows you around - very nice pixel art cutscene intro - very good enemy sprites, love the frogs - genuinely feels 90s with stuff like powerups - its basically the game i wanted as a kid any time i saw 40k box art in Electronics Boutique. those games all turned out to be boring strategy slogs, but this one is rad - good sense of humor about the setting non-good-but-not-neccessarily-terrible stuff - it seems weird that chaos space marines are a semi-common enemy, like cacos in doom. - some random extra-low res textures (i most remember this big spinning fan that looked like it was from an MSpaint doom mod) - little bit easy right now but its early days yet for my run weirdly it reminds me kind of of Hedon, which I also liked a lot
