Nothing related to anything posted recently but two things: 1. Been watching cyraptors old doom 2/d64 lps as background and they're both pretty hilarious. Well okay, d2 was hilarious, d64 alternate between funny and sad because you could tell he was hating it by the end. Both good runthroughs though, if you need something to watch. Dunno if he even visits sa anymore but if he does, thanks for all the effort you put into those! 2. Been slowly playing Doom 3: BFG with a controller, having only played the original version when it first came out, and you can totally tell they designed it around the slower pace you need with sticks because it actually works. Also, after loving around with lots of options in the console to get it looking like the original, I have to say I think the pumped up lightscale in bfg looks a lot better than the original. But unless you change a lot of options the game really does look like poo poo, it took a few hours of work to get the game to accept manually changed config options without using the console (so i can still get achievements) and getting all the right options copied from D3 to have it looking good.

CyRaptor posted:Hey hi thanks yeah I'm still here. Those old LPs are pretty embarrassing and bad and you probably have bad taste for liking them. I also did an Ultimate Doom marathon stream last year that's up on Youtube and marginally better but still sad. It's been a few years since you did those lps, did you finally give up the doom life or you still making wads? Move on to duke3d?

Hey CyRaptor, finally got through your udoom lp. Good stuff! You've really mellowed out lol. I've never been great at doom so finally seeing how all the secrets work was a plus, and getting to see all the alphas was awesome. Definitely looks a lot better than the previous lps as well. e: did have one question from the video though: you had mentioned in the inferno levels (i think) that one of the demon head wall textures was actually an arch-vile and that there was a story behind it or something, but you never got around to talking about it. Do you remember anything about that? site fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 5, 2015 |

EvilGenius posted:Mid to late 90s pre-rendered graphics are my favourite thing - remember when you saw those grainy FMV pre-rendered videos and thought 'one day the actual game will look like that'? Haha yeah i remember when i got my ps1 it came with a demo disc with Tekken that had a prerendered video at the beginning and my reaction was just so :O :O :O i actually pulled my parents in to watch it too lol. Ah to be young again...

Had to hit Google to get a big enough screen cap from D2 to compare but yeah I can see it. I don't suppose they ever gave a reason for cutting it from D1? I'm sure it was nothing more than time purposes, but due to the nature of the character I'm a little curious if they had problems with balance or something.

Yeah I remember Prey doing a lot of loving with players with the portals. Does the level design style of Turok have anything to do with saving storage space, ie is it easier on memory requirements to have a level multiple stories (though obfuscated through things like fog) than it is to have a sprawling "real world" layout?

Wow, thanks for the quick replies everyone! Now for my next question, as someone who has no level designing experience whatsoever, is there maybe a good YouTube or general overview of the differences between, say doom's 2.5d, duke's build engine room over room, and today's 3d design capabilities? I understand the concept of just adding poo poo together in today's engines well enough, but I don't really "get" what you guys mean when comparing to the other two engines and I figure a visual would probably help lol.

SilentW posted:The shortest way to explain it is this - DOOM and other '2.5D' engines treat maps as a set of infinitely tall vertical planes (think of a bunch of fences) with defined 'top' and 'bottom' heights, which are where the engine draws the horizontal floors and ceilings. e: just saw your edit

Elliotw2 posted:Yeah, part of the reason that the only enemies in Portal are unmoving turrets is because the AI literally can't interact with the portals in Source. If you install a Portal Gun into Garry's Mod, the enemies will completely ignore it, and considering Source's AI, they'd probably explode trying to enter one if they could. Do you know why not? I get why they wouldn't know how to use the gun itself but shouldn't portals just be treated as doors for AI to interpret?

Does Source really not do dynamic pathing? I remember having to compile pathways for custom maps a lot back when i played cs; could they not enable that functionality real-time and offload it to a core nowadays?

Kazvall posted:I just got two copies of Zero Tolerance for the Sega Genesis. Arguably the first original console FPS released in North America. In 1994. It features things like jumping, ducking, melee combos, persistent blood on walls and floors from hurt enemies, bouncing grenades, night vision, a flashlight, and a full inventory system. Hugely ahead of it's time. Rupert Buttermilk posted:Absolutely. What's ironic about me not listening to game soundtracks back then (even though I did, just not always) is that I now do a bit of video game scoring. I have to say, though, that I only really played 'outside' music during a game that I had already played to death. For any new game, I'd usually stick to the soundtrack.

Conversely, what game would you say you listened to the most music you got introduced to with? I played so much cs as a kid, I've listened to drat near everything with it.

I forgot about Emergence's weird AI system that can end up with you in near or straight up impossible sequences if its up too high. And the loading system for Source games...ugh. So glad we've moved beyond this in today's games.

I know I'm gonna get reamed for this, but does anyone know of any texture packs for 3D Doom enemy models that don't suck complete rear end. Admittedly, I'm giving Doomsday a shot, and although obviously it has the option to play with the original sprites I wanted to give the 3D models a go. I figured someone would've come up with better textures by now...

Sad, but not unsurprising. I just kind hoped that after all this time, and with how popular Doom modding is, someone mighta taken a crack at it. Oh well, back to sprites.

Elliotw2 posted:Probably a lot of this is because Doom doesn't support animation blending. If a sprite is attacking, it's using the firing frames even if it's moving around. You might be able to halfass it with some extreme decorate hacks, but it's probably not worth it at all when you can just use the same few sets and let the low resolution cover for the engine limits. Isn't this what Beautiful Doom does?
