Mak0rz posted: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. Also I sort of half-assed this 3DO music wad for Doom 1 together that only covers the twelve tracks that were actually in 3DO Doom. Wasn't sure which other maps to assign the 3DO tracks to, open to suggestions.

small change posted:I'm using GZdoom and installed the latest build I could find of beautiful Doom. It doesn't seem to really change anything though. Am I missing something on how to get it working other than inserting the files into the Gzdoom folder? The wads for the games I'm using are from that Doom collectors edition that came out a few years back. You're dragging and dropping the Beautiful Doom wads onto the GZDoom executable right?

Mantle posted:I want to play this mp with someone. Pm me if you want to organize a game! I think it would be great if someone would set up a Skulltag server or two for our collective use. It's very easy to do and some cooperative games could be really fun. Great thing about Skulltag's server browser is that it can automatically seek out and download pwads that clients are missing so any goon servers could just have a rotation of cool custom wads without issue. I'd like to do it myself but my connection is fairly terrible.  Speaking of Skulltag and wads that are fun to play cooperatively, I'm a big fan of Hard-Doom, which uses custom monsters to be exactly what it sounds like. It's not an original idea but I think the execution is better balanced than most. Unrelated wad suggestion: ZPack, a ZDoom community megawad full of fancy visual effects and neat stuff the likes of which never fails to enrage the people at Doomworld. Call me a heretic but I really enjoy seeing what people can do with Doom's classic gameplay in limit-removing ports.

Vita posted:How do I use 10x.wad and brutaldoom.pk3 with Skulltag co-op? I can host a server just fine, with IWAD DOOM.wad and additional wads/files set as 10x and brutal doom, but it doesn't seem to be working. In what way is it not working? What is it doing? Any error messages? Just marathoned No Rest for the Living, absolutely great set of levels. Most fun I've had with Doom in a while.

I'll keep playing around with it, this could be my next stressbuster game. Oh you're right, I hadn't even noticed. 10x.wad itself isn't terribly complicated but I'm not anywhere near confident enough in my knowledge of this stuff to try and merge its actor spawn code into Brutal Doom.

Dominic White posted:I IDKFA'd and tried just emptying infinite BFG ammo into that swarm. I still died about a dozen times. I was playing with Brutal Doom and ended up spamming the special berserk kills, during which you're invincible, and somehow managed to survive in that fashion until the Cyberdemon had splattered nearly the lot of them. Thinking back on it now it probably would've been best to run off the elevator over their heads and fight them in the maze rather than getting mobbed in the corner. Either way it's still a really great set of levels. That "Vivisection" map that builds outward from a central circular room was really cool. Also I guess that I just really like good hell-themed maps.

Mak0rz posted:I got that far, but I didn't really know what to do with it. Load up Doomseeker, go to the File menu and hit Create Server.  Pick your iwad and add any additional wads below that. Keep in mind that people connecting will need those wads to join, but if they connect through Doomseeker it will attempt to automatically find and download those wads for them. Set your difficulty level and lives in the Rules tab, you can put in a server password on the Misc. tab, and you can set all of your extra flags with the other tabs (fast monsters, jumping, crouching, whether or not you respawn with equipment in coop, etc.) When you're done hit Start Server at the bottom.  With your server running you can either type console commands into the text field at the bottom or use the menus at the top to change the map and so on. Go to the File menu and hit Join Server to do exactly that.  To get your friend to connect either have him find the server with the Doomseeker server browser (he'll need to hit the big red arrow to Get Servers before it'll show up there) or have him start Skulltag as he would normally (with all of the appropriate wads) and type "connect YOUR EXTERNAL IP" to join. If you want to control your server in-game, set an RCon password on the Misc. tab. In-game open the console with tilde (~) and type "send_password YOURPASSWORD" to give yourself control. You should then be able to use commands like "rcon changelevel map01" to make things happen. Hope this all makes sense. It's pretty easy to figure out if you experiment a bit, even for complete networking dunces like myself. see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jul 13, 2011 |

I can't remember the name, and I'm not sure I'm seeing it on the list in the OP. Shot in the dark... There are hundreds of wads that fit that description. You have to give us something more than that.

Been playing Doom itself again recently too. I think that I finally agree with the people who say that Doom's map design is better than its sequel's. Everything in Doom 2 is so abstract compared to the more realistic-looking areas in the first game. Also all of the city stages just suck rear end.

It's only a replacement for music in Doom maps or custom maps that specifically ask for music from Doom. You'd need to modify the wad to get it to play in Doom 2 maps.

ToxicFrog posted:So I tried out Brutal Doom and drat, this is pretty awesome. Most of my old complaints about Doom still stand, but somehow they don't matter as much anymore. I installed the R3D textures and they look pretty good, too; going to give the DHTP textures a look as well and see which I prefer. There are quite a lot more enemies on Ultraviolence than on lower difficulties. 10x doesn't work perfectly with Brutal Doom, it overrides a lot of the custom enemy behaviors and deaths.

I really know jack poo poo about how the game itself works though. How hard would it be to start implementing features myself? My ideal game of Doom: There's already a branch of GZDoom that can render voxel objects. At this point it really just comes down to recreating everything from Doom in voxel form.

Mak0rz posted:The canon is that you die and are sent to purgatory (The Shores of Hell) if I remember correct. What's odd about this scene is that it's, well, scripted, and I can't recall anything else in Doom like this. According to the Doom Wiki it's unique sector type that ignores god mode, steadily drops your health to 11%, and ends the level when it falls below that point. It also prevents your health from falling below 1% so you don't actually die. Also made a great end to the shareware episode.

Funkmaster General posted:It didn't (at least not in the graphics department), but I have enough nostalgia for Unreal that I can overlook that, which isn't the case for Quake I, unfortunately. I'm totally willing to admit it looks like rear end, though, whereas I genuinely still think Doom looks fine, good even, with only a few exceptions (the bushes on certain outdoor levels, for example). Yeah, I didn't really play these games at the time that they came out, other than maybe fifteen minutes of Doom and quite a lot of Wolf3D's shareware episode. Only really started doing the Doom thing many years later and like most sprite-based games it still totally holds up. Can't say the same about Quake or Unreal just because early 3D has aged horribly.

UberJumper posted:I recently played through the doom rpg phone game. I was wondering is there any sort of Doom mods that add some sort of XP/RPG system to the game? Psychic In addition to new guns you can use a bunch of rad magic attacks that can dramatically change the way you play. Monsters spew out coins when they die that you can use to buy and upgrade weapons, powers, and unique special items. It is awesome and for a while it was The One Wad I was using to play all megawads. Can't possibly recommend it enough.

Hexen always sucked. The very first map was really cool and atmospheric and then you get to the second map and it's a stupid hub leading out to a bunch of lovely mazes that you're going to have to spend forever stumbling through to find all of the keys or whatever you need to progress. It's the worst kind of Doom map design and it totally ruins the game. Also there's like no enemy variety and each class only has a handful of weapons so it gets really boring in addition to being an unfun slog through endless unremarkable corridors.

The problem was that switches could affect things on totally different maps without any actual indication of what or where. Frustrating. Hexen just really disappointed me at the time. The graphics and sounds and, you know, the stabs they took at something approaching "atmosphere" in the Doom engine were really very cool but the level design just squandered all of it. I never actually tried the expansion or sequel, maybe they were better?
