THE HORSES rear end posted:I really hope the next version of Brutal Doom gives players the option of disabling them. I also hope the next version of Brutal Doom also gives you an option to revert the spectres to their classic sprites. While it was cool and scary for a little while to spot some red eyes and then frantically try to kill the thing, when a WAD throws 20 at you most of them might as well be truly invisible.

The Kins posted:Doom 2 won't be completely unscathed though: The German version has always excluded the secret Wolfenstein levels because... well, you know. Why can't the 3D models in Doom source ports be more like this? Cream-of-Plenty posted:I honestly think Brutal Doom gives certain monsters the ability to ignore walls if they're low enough. Scythe / Scythe 2 have maps where fences were clearly supposed to keep pinkies confined, but Brutal Doom allows them to run over short barriers with impunity. It does give monsters new AI so that might cause weird things to happen. For example, imps can leap at you which can make some maps more difficult than they were intended to be.

I can't really figure out how to get Death Wish working. Normal Blood works fine in the GOG DOSBox install, but DW loads up all glitchy-looking and slow, and the movies won't work despite making sure the paths in the .ini were correct. I'm not sure how to get bmouse working with it, either. Can anyone help?

The instructions in the readme are great, thanks! I got everything working fine except for bmouse, which I'm still not sure how to use since dw.bat runs "blood -ini dw.ini" while bmouse needs to do something like "bmouse.exe blood" and it won't accept the "-ini dw.ini"

Vaos posted:Skulltag use a gzdoom version which is from 10 years ago, which doesn't have all the features current (g)zdoom has, so it can't run all mods. There's an alpha version of Skulltag running with a more recent version, but I didn't try it. The alpha versions of Skulltag are slightly more recent, but they tend to pick and choose only a couple features from newer versions to add to the builds. On one hand, they might have a good reason to do it. On the other hand, this completely ruins a lot of the potential for stable multiplayer mods.

It uses a pretty standard WASD + Mouselook defaults. Also, you can download each game with one single link, no more frankensteining together a scenario and game engine. That's awesome! It always bugged me that the Aleph One team never put any time into making the whole process more inviting to newcomers.

The whole platform seems, at best, incompetently managed, and at worst, actively malevolent towards developers. More space???

Cream-of-Plenty posted:My mind is still blown by how grossly inefficient Polymer is, even on Nvidia rigs. I've committed to the HRP V4.x packs and Polymost, which run exponentially smoother. Yep. I keep trying to play Duke Nukem Eternity with the latest Polymer and it's never been playable. I even upgraded from an ATI HD4850 to an NVidia GTX 460 recently and performance seems to have gotten worse. It's not that it's slower than I expect, it's that it adds these really long load times and then the game doesn't run at all. I think the developer really needs to forget about features like per-pixel lighting and focus on making everything else efficient. Vertigus fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Dec 30, 2011 |

Plagman posted:Your second point doesn't really make sense to me; the point of Polymer _is_ advanced rendering features. There's already a basic renderer that's plenty fast. There's probably plenty of people out there who are into advanced rendering features for the sake of advanced rendering features, but I think there's a lot of wisdom in reservation. One of the things I admire about GZDoom is that it does implement fancy new features, but the teams behind it take care to keep things speedy and preserve the tone of the game without making it look garish. I don't think that has to do with the larger community, just a different approach. I know I'm one to talk, since I'm not doing much to come up with a middle ground between Eduke32's basic renderer and the crazy stuff going on in Polymer, but it's what I'd like to see. Also, here's a couple rad pictures of GZDoom that I found:   quote:It seems to me you're just a bunch of whiners; it's fine if you can't afford the Quad-SLI setup that you need to run Duke3D, but don't vent your frustration on others and go back to playing your ugly-rear end "Crysis 2" or "Battlefield 3". Oh you bitch

Do you have an ATI card? Make sure you install the latest drivers for it, DarkPlaces uses OpenGL and ATI has horrible support for the standard that's only now getting better.

It would be pretty easy to make Brutal Doom work with whatever mod you want if you take the time to figure out how the slade editor works . I made a compatibility mod for Real Guns Hardcore and Nazis and it just took a couple hours.

ToxicFrog posted:At a guess, because increasing the updates per second would cause everything to move and animate at twice normal speed, since all the game logic is timed by ticks rather than by seconds. Well, for example, zDoom runs at about 800 FPS on my computer yet the game logic is still tied to 1/35 of a second. The extra FPS is noticeable since it's tied to mouse control - I can turn on vsync and bring it down to 60 FPS but then the mouse feels sluggish.

Johnny Law posted:Aside from that, the only fundamental flaw that nagged at me was the lack of a map. I know that with real 3D levels this is harder, but hopefully they take a whack at it. Filling out a map is one of the simple pleasures of a retro shooter, and it also makes secret-hunting more fun and helps to paper over some of the sins of having a limited palette of colors/materials/patterns/architecture for your levels. This just made me remember the item in Doom that fills in the automap. I used to avoid the hell out of that thing because it meant I'd be way more likely to get lost, instead of knowing which parts of the map I hadn't explored.
