I don't suppose anyone is aware of any modernisation mods for Ultima Underworld 1 & 2? Just got them off of GoG and while I don't mind playing them as they are I'd obviously like mouselook at the very least and improved graphics at best.

Colon Semicolon posted:bought the poo poo out of this. already having alot of fun, but i'm starting to realize there wasn't actually a whole lot of mods for Quake 2 and 3. (or that most of them were lost when PlanetQuake died) a real shame, because they have a plethora of features I think would be great to utilize. I may be misunderstanding you or perhaps you meant a different site, but PlanetQuake still seems very much alive to me...

Johnny Law posted:PQ dumped its hosted sites a while back. I believe there are a couple of sites hiding somewhere on the web that try to preserve some of that content though. Aha. Whenever I go back to a fondly remembered shooter I tend to dredge up map packs that I had already played so I suppose I never had to rely on hosted sites when I could just type the name into fileplanet/wherever. This thread has somewhat broken that unhealthy habit I'm happy to say.

Had a quick google around for Brutal Doom after all the excited chatter here - what's the latest version? There seem to be quite a few different outlets for it.

HL Source is your best bet - improved lighting, 3d skyboxes, ragdoll deaths, better sound/music.

RickVoid posted:Don't think it's been posted yet, but everybody should give the singleplayer Doom wad "Unloved" a shot. It's... certainly something. I literally have no idea A: What the gently caress is going on and B: What the hell I'm supposed to do now. (Seriously, I'm an hour in, I've got the three keycards, I don't know where to use the red one, and apparently I still need to collect the skull keys.) That's possibly the least encouraging recommendation I've ever read.

Dominic White posted:Yeah, it's a really, really good campaign. Just don't play it on UV, because you WILL die a thousand times. Treat the difficulty levels as 'Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Insane' rather than the usual 'Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Normal, Hard'. I play most custom wads on Hurt me Plenty  . I've completed the two Dooms on UV but it seems that most custom levels are a touch harder and usually have me moving along at a snail's pace, quick loading thousands of times.I'll give it a go then - currently enjoying a blast through Shores of Hell with Brutal Doom and the 2011 music.

XausF1 posted:I remember playing the poo poo out of Gunman back when it came out. I'm kind of surprised that Valve has seemingly abandoned it entirely and not bothered to even acknowledge its existence. It wasn't actually made by Valve - I thought it was just a mod turned retail with their blessing. No reason for them to be actively supporting it now, though it would be nice to see it on Steam as I never had the opportunity to try it.

Vintersorg posted:Dammit, I can't find this anywhere and want to combine these wads to play together. How do I get GZdoom to load brutal doom plus the new soundtrack? Whenever I launch GZdoom it just loads the regular version plus the graphics enhancements. I have to associate wad files with GZdoom to get them to work. But what about multiple ones? Seeing as I keep seeing this sort of question, might I point you towards ZDL. It allows you to easily point GZDoom towards any number of WADs and arrange their load order. I think it's mentioned in the OP but not many people seem to pick up on it.

Best bit about the video is the John Carmack - I know this man has had a major role in not only creating some of my favourite games, but also the genre, but I can't help but laugh at how fully he embodies the nerd stereotype in the way that he dresses, talks and behaves. It's like watching Prof. Frink from the Simpsons.

The bit that always sticks in my mind from Opfor was that sodding darkened sewer bit with the giant bug monster things. I must have died over a hundred times there. It was developed by Gearbox so I'm not sure how much of it that Valve have included in their 'official' story of HL. I'm not generally a fan of Gearbox but Opfor was ok, apart from the aforementioned maddeningly frustrating moments.

Code Jockey posted:Oh I knew you could change physical appearance, I guess I just never realized that the bots had different AI "personalities". That's awesome. The feature crops up now and then in other games too. Its contemporary Quake 3 Arena had bots with different styles of play and the more recent Left 4 Dead games. Using L4D1 as an example, you'll notice that Zoe plays a more cautious game and favours the scoped weapons.

I think whoever said earlier (apologies, can't find the exact quote) that id should just make a game with a cut down team had it spot on. Their work is too art driven now, created by a massive number of people who simply can't communicate cohesively. Just make us an 'indie' with a new tech that doesn't need a Hollywood budget. Also a super shotgun.

The Kins posted:Strife's publisher died shortly after its release, and as a result it's in some sort of weird legal limbo. I assume this is the same sort of reason as to Heretic II being missing from Steam/GoG also. I can't remember whether this was any good or not, just that my impressionable young self was wowed by the graphics at the time.

I realise I've asked for this before and that you have other projects on the go now but Kins, could you update ReDoom? It's still my go-to mod for a vanilla Doom experience but some bugs that were introduced with later GZDoom builds irk, like Spectres having regular Pinky gibs and the chainsaw behaving like it's hitting a wall wherever you fire it. Brutal Doom is great and all but the difficulty hike is a bit much for me on most custom campaigns and ReDoom does all I want otherwise.

Morter posted:Can anyone elaborate a bit on what "Monster Mayhem" is from AEons of Death? It was added in 6.01, but neither the v6 nor the v6.02 mods elaborate on it. It seems to be a mode (difficulty?) where monsters randomly spawn, but is there anything more to it? From the patch notes Monster Mayhem is just a renamed difficulty level. Ammo power makes your weapons slightly more damaging.

r1ngwthszzors posted:How would you guys rank the episodes of the commercial releases of Doom 1, 2 and Final? I finally got to try Brutal Doom with Doom 1 and the first episode is incredibly good. I'm surprised John Romero designed such a fun shareware episode. I think the general consensus is that E1 is the better episode of Doom 1 (and in my opinion pretty much better than anything in Doom 2). I remember reading somewhere that they spent much longer working on the first episode because, as you've mentioned, it was the shareware episode and most people's first contact with the game. That's not to say that the next two episodes are weak - I think they just take a couple of levels to really kick in. I'm not especially a fan of Thy Flesh Consumed though that may be because my skill level doesn't seem to be quite as high as other Doom players and I find it a bit frustrating.

Out of interest does anyone know why the SVN builds of GZDoom haven't been updated since the end of December? It used to be the norm for at least one new version a day so such a long time to pass is very strange.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I would just empty quote this. This is the exact thing that everyone that enjoys stealth games need to do, the genre is very empty. In regards to custom content, Thief 2 is the Doom of stealth games. There are hundreds of user-made levels out there and they are still being made today. Seconded. There is still nothing quite like Thief 1 & 2 (I don't really count 3). Massive sprawling levels full of little details that you won't see if you go straight for the goal, objectives that change depending on difficulty level and a surprisingly engrossing story. Possibly my favourite game ever and I'm not really given to hyperbole.

They just just hire this guy for Doom 4, Brütal Doom 4 Honestly, they should just make him head of development and let him get the gently caress on.
