 I can't seem to help myself but if maybe I tell myself I only need to make a dozen or so more custom switch textures and maybe a few vehicle textures I'll be ready to start mapping soon...

Finished Machete, and I really enjoyed that one. Smaller-scale maps, doesn't ever cross into slaughter territory, decent challenge (on HMP+pistol start) that only really gets nasty in the last couple of levels. Nice and breezy.

long shot, but is anyone here running gzd + zdl on linux (nobara) successfully? can go into detail over pm — everything's great but sound init fails on every device, and everything else game related has been flawless. i'll ask on discord but figured i'd raise a flag here too.  i've mentioned it already but Lithium is a great option if you want the same satisfaction as a clicker type game but also doom. even without sound i love it e: https://marrub.itch.io/lithium spider wisdom fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Apr 2, 2024 |

Hot tip for all you map makers: If you have buttons that require being hit in an depression (so you can't punch it) PUT A CLIP SOMEWHERE SO YOU DON'T SOFTLOCK A 2 HOUR MAP.  Otherwise, DiE really turned it up. I think 16 is probably the hardest map of the wad. pro starcraft loser fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Apr 3, 2024 |

I have issues with required distant shootable switches for exactly that reason. Make them punchable or reserve them for secrets if they must be shot from a distance.

pro starcraft loser posted:Hot tip for all you map makers: Every eye switch in Sigil 1 has a clip right in front of the slit for exactly this reason. Thank you Romero. Also I feel like I should mention the shootable switch in No End In Sight that’s not at your level at any time. Instead, it has an imp on the ledge in front of it. You’re supposed to wait for the imp to walk in front of the switch and then shoot the imp with shotgun or chaingun, pulling auto-aim up so you also hit the switch. If this sounds fun, play NEIS, it’s full of great little tricks like that.

Is there some reason to make a recessed shootable switch VS just one that has to be punched or shot? Would punching not create the same sound as a gun as far as the game engine is concerned?

Would punching not create the same sound as a gun as far as the game engine is concerned? Needing to move sectors while keeping them away from the player so they can't gently caress up the movement comes to mind. Sometimes it's not about the sound, it's about where the player is when they shoot the switch.

Recessing is also one of the better ways to indicate that a switch has to be shot, if you don't have a specific shootable texture.

Finished Pina Colada, had a lot of fun with maps 1-18, have absolutely no loving idea how you're supposed to beat anything from 19 on without shamelessly cheating. Are there any other wads focusing mostly on smaller-scale combat puzzles? Already played Ozonia and Machete, as well as the Scythes (although their last chapters really don't count for this).

Of all the things that people criticize about GZDoom, one thing I never see mentioned is how it doesn't have jump and crouch double as swim up and swim down. Okay I think jump does double as swim up, but crouch still just crouches underwater, which has to be one of the most useless bits of game design pedantry ever.

Doctor Bishop posted:Of all the things that people criticize about GZDoom, one thing I never see mentioned is how it doesn't have jump and crouch double as swim up and swim down. Could just be an oversight, if you're playing a map with jumping, crouching and swimming you're probably also using mouselook in which case you just look up or down and hold W. Cue someone posting a WAD from 2003 that hacked in swimming but still disabled jumping so dedicated swim up/down buttons would actually be useful. e: pffft The PD2 thread mentions not using jump/crouch and mouselook being optional, so there's that. e2: PD2 adjusts lost soul health so they can be killed with a single shotgun blast, GOTY.

Turin Turambar posted:Pirate Doom 2 is now playable for everyone, as it reached open beta I'm playing it now and it's very fun, as expected. Doom + cartoon pirate theme somehow goes so well together. It's all a "skin" on top of the traditional Doom gameplay, but it fits really nice, the textures from MI3, the demons with pirate hats, the weapons, the constant pirete-y shouts, the music, it ties it all together perfectly in setting in a tone of fun. The level are pretty short, and at least the first 8-9 are easy. This part is also very "low level combat", with the game keeping you away from the super shotgun, rocket launcher etc for a good while.       It's also full of little details. The shape of the map called Tortuga Island is of course, a tortuga, the way to get out of the whale level is the logical one, etc Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 20, 2024 |

I finished it today, but now I was left itchy with wanting a bit more Doom, so I started something I know other people here played some months ago (but I hadn't, until now), Venturous https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=78218 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQfGCeNIQJk In fact it seems he released a content update a month ago, with new weapons, enemies and six new maps.

speaking of frustration I might give up myself on The Troopers' Playground, that latest addition to the source port mod selection. It is aggressively 90s - lots of boxy rooms connected by hallways, limited health and ammo, way overtuned combat for the space & level design (maybe this is only bad bc it's not designed for pistol start or something? Some of the starts of these maps are just miserable) and it's all topped off with a custom enemy that is like a chaingunner with more health and 3x firing speed. You get just one of these in a trap and it's insta game over. I have been pushing through with excessive save scumming, up to MAP05 now and probably won't stick around to see the rest.

It all comes together really really well in MAP06. I remember basically nothing from when I played it, except for that one map which I immediately went “drat that one’s good” when it got added to the Unity port.

I actually quite liked MAP05, and Ill keep plugging away. I wonder if most of the weaponry is locked behind secrets? Ive found like one RL with no ammo on one map and thats it, everything else has been sg/ssg/cg...really its the kind of design I would find bland but manageable on PC but its just so rough on Switch.
