Ack, before the last thread ended I was complaining about music and someone posted a couple of handy links leading to Doom 1 music projects and the old thread is completely lost. I never bothered with the links because it was kind of late and unbookmarked the thread without thinking. Can anyone repost them?

I never had any luck getting AEons of Death working before, but now I really want to check it out. Here are the problems I'm running into: Ultimate Doom: doesn't work with it. I get the following error: code:Doom II: It works... but it's not exactly playable. Weird poo poo happens, here's all of the issues I ran into so far: - Sometimes enemies don't spawn. At all. - Same with weapons. - Enemy and pickup sounds only play some of the time. - My HUD isn't all there sometimes (or maybe this is a class thing?) - My current weapon being actually displayed on screen is a rare sight, but when it does it misses animations and sounds when firing These are things I ran into only on Map01 so far  GZdoom version: 1.5.6 (r1104). OGL enhancements disabled because my laptop is a dick. AEoD version: 5.29.1 I've had this problem with AEoD and GZdoom versions both new and old. What's happening?

You never have to deal with drag-n-drop or changing shortcut parameters nonsense. Plavski posted:A game I used to play the poo poo out of was Chasm: The Rift. It was a late 90s 2.5/3D game set in some weird Egyptian altiverse thing. I don't remember much of the plot but it had a precursor to Dead Space's Ripper gun so I didn't ask too many questions. What was notable was the fact it had a fully featured level-editor on the CD-ROM. This excited my young mind wonderfully and I spent far more time working on custom maps than I did actually playing the drat game which, after all, was a pretty bog standard Quake clone. Also cool to note is how the developers of this game later went on to do Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason. Played the poo poo out of this as a lad. It's a really underrated game I think and, despite the map design and gameplay not being as good, it is superior to Quake on a technical level (well, apart from the fact that it's still technically a 2.5D engine). The polys, animations, and textures were really crisp and there were a slew of environmental effects and outdoor environments not seen in the original Quake. One thing Chasm broke the mold with was the bosses: You can't gun them to death. Instead you have to solve a puzzle to kill them. It's pretty neat. Everyone play Chasm right now.

aaaaaaaaaand, it still has problems, mostly in the BSOD area. But it looks like the culprit is once again ATI's wonky OpenGL support, so if anyone on a Radeon has issues, throw this in the directory where gzdoom.exe (assuming you have a 64-bit Vista/7 installation)(and you should)

treat posted:Quirk, I love how gritty and classic those videos look, and I've got a friend who's been having problems with OpenGL recently. Could you copy or upload your config file? He can just download original Zdoom. It's literally exactly the same as GZdoom, only without the OpenGL functionality. Older versions of GZdoom were able to disable the OpenGL functionality in the video settings, but I'm not seeing it there anymore. It's still able to do it because I have it disabled (kept the old config file when I updated the source port).

Huh. They seemed to have changed the default automap colors in the newer versions of Zdoom. I managed to change them back to green and white like I'm used to, but the game shows undiscovered parts of the map as well and I would rather turn that off somehow. Any idea how to do this? There isn't a "transparent" option in the automap colors, so I don't know what else to do. EDIT: Nevermind. I made this post completely forgetting that I picked up the map computer in the level. There's nothing wrong with my automap

Cubemario posted:So I'm showing appreciation for the classics but I have a screen warping/fisheye problem and changing the FOV or aspect ratio does not seem to solve it. I am playing ultimate doom and using zdoom. Use GZdoom and enable the OpenGL render. It renders levels in 3D and fixes that perspective problem. Or you can really go classic like I do and disable the Y-axis altogether

Cubemario posted:I'm trying doomsday and it's gone very well so far. I'm open to other suggestions however if there are better engines. Give my suggestion a try. It may work for you or it may not, but keep in mind that not only is (G)Zdoom is pretty much everything a source port should be (regularly updated, very feature-rich), it has also become the de-facto standard for the modding community. Doomsday (or jDoom, whatever the hell they call it these days) has always been buggy for me as well, if that's worth anything. If your only issue is with the perspective problem shown in your video, going with GZdoom with OpenGL functionality is your best option if you ask me. And hey, if you don't like it, you can always switch back. The only thing I like about jDoom over (G)Zdoom is that it comes with a pretty sweet frontend. SavageMessiah's launcher for (G)Zdoom (found in the OP) is a godsend, though. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jul 11, 2011 |

Mr_Person posted:I've got an old laptop that can barely handle Quake III, and on it GZDoom actually runs considerably better than software rendering. With texture filtering and fancy lighting disabled, it's around twice the speed of plain ZDoom. My laptop: CPU: dual-threaded, dual-core Intel i3 2.27GHz GPU: Intel HD chipset, notorious for not being able to play anything remotely recent. GZdoom (with OpenGL) on 1600x900 stutters like mad and becomes unplayable during some busy scenes. Software rendering (same resolution) doesn't experience any slowdown at all. I can play Quake III and the like just fine, it just seems to have a problem with newer rendering methods/calls or something.

Just an idea. I have already said that this didn't work. It does for newer versions of Zdoom, but moving the slider all the way down in whichever version Skulltag is based on doesn't actually zero it. I tried searching the .ini for it but couldn't find anything. Finding it and setting it to zero is really all that has to be done. Anyone know the command? EDIT: While you're at it, could someone tell me how I can play a two-player co-op Doom 2 campaign with my friend? I can't seem to figure it out.

What's odd about this scene is that it's, well, scripted, and I can't recall anything else in Doom like this. You would think that the teleporter brings you to a dark room with a damaging floor with demons that wreck you, but this isn't the case. Even turning on God Mode and noclipping yourself into the room kills you and I still don't understand how

Quake 1 in software rendering makes it look gritty, just as it's supposed to. Hardware rendering in Quake 2 shits all over the textures. I have no idea how they hosed that one up, but it makes all of the models look like loving blobs.

KozmoNaut posted:I think the GLQuake texture issue is fixed as well. Are there any known problem maps for this? I remember the underwater effects in GLQuake were really annoying. The game's engine would force the underwater geometry to distort, rather than putting some kind of low-res wavy filter over the display like the Software render would. I'm not sure if that's an adequate description, but you could try running vanilla WinQuake and taking a dive in the river of e1m1 and doing the same in vanilla GLQuake, you'll see what I mean. It often causes weird holes to appear and clipping to happen with the wall geometry, depending on how it's structured.
