Any single-player TC's for Doom that have come out recently that are worth a look? Stronghold is epic, but I've tried looking around for something with a similar level of polish and, well... There's a lot of crap out there.

Don't think it's been posted yet, but everybody should give the singleplayer Doom wad "Unloved" a shot. It's... certainly something. I literally have no idea A: What the gently caress is going on and B: What the hell I'm supposed to do now. (Seriously, I'm an hour in, I've got the three keycards, I don't know where to use the red one, and apparently I still need to collect the skull keys.)

Just picked up Unreal Gold. Gotta say, I love it. It's been awhile since a game has made me jump. That entire first map had me jumpy. AND YOU NEVER FIGHT ANYTHING. drat. I think I need to pick up ZPack and brutal doom, after watching a bit of that video. Hot drat that was awesome. Edit: Just watched you throw a barrel and tear off a pinky's head. There is no  big enough.Edit2: Toss dude into wall. "gently caress yourself."

Welp, Stronghold + Brutal Doom didn't work so well. Lives are set to 0, so you automatically get kicked out of any map you enter. On the other hand, Brutal Doom's weapons showed up.

Anybody know how to use your class power in Doom Roguelike Arsenal? Specifically, the one that lets you convert spare weapons into mods as the technician? No key listed in options and like hell I'm going to search all 200+ pages of its doomworld thread/join a new, unfamiliar forum to ask what is probably a really dumb question.

I hope someone else has an answer for this that isn't "Dark Forces is unique among FPS' s, something that has never been seen before or since.

While we're talking cheats, Shadows of the Empire for N64 had a ridiculous one that required holding down all of the buttons on the controller (pushing them down in a certain order!) and then carefully manipulating the directional stick like a loving dial on a safe. Once you figure out the only possible way to hold the controller in order for your fingers to reach the required buttons, you are basically forced to use your tongue to manipulate the stick. That loving game.

The Cat motif on that video was kind of dumb (especially given that's he's clearly good enough to do a human face, but evidentally chose not to) but that was still pretty Doomy, even if it did veer pretty hard into Brutal Doom territory.

If you're going to make the ammo used by both shotguns different, why not go whole hog and tighten up the spread on the regular shotgun so that it's essentially shooting slugs? Your changes would make a little more sense then.

Since I work better with a goal in mind, the first map on this page is what I'm going to base my first map on. It's pretty simple, technically only being seven total rooms (counting the outdoors room), but I also think I'm going to try and model a drop-ship outside the base as the starting area. So I guess this would be a DoomRL themed E1M1 replacement. Current plans are to widen and lengthen the building out a bit, with the two wings of the second inner room being stairs leading upwards, with the final room in the middle a staircase leading down to the elevator/exit. In addition to the drop-ship, I also want to add a couple of smaller buildings outside containing a bit of ammo and armor, former human and marine corpses scattered about to explain what happened to the rest of Doomguy's unit. I also want to put a key behind a secret. You won't need it to exit the level, but if you get it off a dead marine corpse in the secret you can take it back to the drop-ship and use it to unlock a corresponding door containing a chaingun and (maybe) a backpack. Using DoomRL maps as a base for actual Doom maps seems like it shouldn't be too frustrating, since both engines are two dimensional, but GZDoom builder will let me add more detail and depth.

Having a weird issue with GZDoom Builder. Trying to make a fancier looking door. the door itself is the standard 16x128, with a pair of sectors that are 8x128 in front of and behind it, which I'm using to basically frame the doorway. I set the linedefs on both sides of the door to open on use, repeatable, the same settings that I used that worked without the framing. The front side of the door works fine, but when I head through, turn around, let the door close, and try to open it again it doesn't work. Any idea what might be causing the problem? Edit: The mystery deepens. When I set the side that isn't working to open when I shoot it, shooting it causes the door to turn into the "I don't have a texture, enjoy this terrifying repeated expanse". Then, if I clip back through to the other side, the door no longer opens from that side, instead it shifts a tiny amount and then stops.

LogicalFallacy posted:Alright. I'm definitely taking a break from this map to play around with something simpler. Though before I completely put it in the "figure this poo poo out later" bin, could someone help me figure out why my remote trigger isn't working right? Well, under action you didn't list a sector tag? I have no idea if that's the issue, but it seems logical to me. So, about sky boxes... Setting the ceiling to the sky texture... did not do what I wanted. Need to research, apparently. Also, I made a little "outside" area that is about twice the size of my two interior rooms... and holy crap it feels tiny. This is gonna take awhile to figure out. On the other hand I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of how to vary the terrain (height-wise, anyway), so that should be good.

Mak0rz posted:Guys I've never made a map at all myself and even I know that it's probably best to start with the basics before doing anything advanced. Many of the maps you all play already are probably Doom/Boom format. Hell, Back to Saturn X is 100% vanilla compatible and look at how great that turned out! Yeah, I'm happily rolling along in GZDoom (Doom 2 in Doom) Format. Shadow Hog posted:UDMF and Hexen-format linedef specials work differently. That "tag" you assigned "1" to isn't the tag the special acts on - it's a tag for another special to act on (a "line ID", something only Hexen-format and UDMF have). Instead, all the linedef specials now take up to five parameters to adjust how they behave; it's the five "Argument" options in the "Action" part of that second screen. You wanted to put "1" into the one labelled "Sector Tag" - the reason it's only lowering the one sector is because it's set to "0", and ZDoom frequently defaults "0" to mean "the sector behind this linedef".

That make a terrible amount of sense. I thought all was well since I it had tagged as 1 down in identification.

Made some good progress tonight. Got to play with both stairs and with getting the skybox working (it was simple!). Also played around with adding some pick-ups and a few Former Humans to blast away at when I test my map. Doomguy wanted something to do when I go into the map to make sure things work for umpteenth time, he was getting bored. Just need to finish the remainder of the interior rooms, learn how to make a level exit, then I get to expand the outside room to surround the entire building. Won't that be fun?

Welp, guess it's time to show off my awful map. I'm terrible at computer, so no video for you. And here's some selections for folks not willing to browse the album:  So this map is based on E1M1 from DoomRL, although it has been rotated 90 degrees. I've made some stylistic changes, however, in the name of teaching myself how to do certain things, and because DoomRL is not capable of doing certain things, being full 2d rather than Doom's 2.5D.  This is my temporary starting area, eventually this entire "outdoor" area will wrap around the whole base, and will include some enemies and assorted out-buildings, including a dropship that will serve as the final Doomguy starting area.   I'd say something like "gently caress stairs forever" here, but I discovered early on that Doomguy can walk up ledges that are two ticks high, rather than just one, which halves the number of steps needed to bring him to a "second" floor. Hooray!  I have plans for the wall behind bubba here. After I get the outdoor area built, I want to put a window in this wall that will allow me to look out at the area behind the building. I think I know how to do it, we'll have to see.  This is the stairway leading back down to the level exit "elevator". At this point I have tried to adhere to the enemy placement from DoomRL (and I'll probably continue to do so for at least the inside of the base), so here's where our first shotgunner is.  Huh? What's that little tunnel branching off from the entryway room? That's not on the DoomRL map!   Anyway, I still need to adjust most of the wall textures to something nicer, round off a bunch of those awful-looking corners, throw some more decorations around (Barrels!), expand the "outdoors", add some more secrets, figure out how lighting works... maybe experiment with elevators? If nothing else I want to put a nuke lake outside that has formed from a leak in one of the walls, inspired in part by CJacob's really neat map. Edit: In before someone mentions it looks like a hosed up vagina. RickVoid fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 23, 2016 |

LogicalFallacy posted:Doomguy can actually walk up ledges that are 3 "ticks" high, which is great for super steep concealed staircases. Concerning your dropship, there's an interesting engine doohickey that I predict you'll run into. The "walls" above a structure still exist and occlude things behind them even if they are showing the sky texture. So if you build your dropship in such a manner that you should be able to look over it and see other things, you'll actually just see sky. I already knew that would be an issue, and the only solution I can think of is to lower the "ceiling" in that part of the outdoor map, so that the wall is only one "floor" high. This is a terrible solution and I'm already ashamed of suggesting it. That's some interesting information about three tick high staircases. I'll probably just stick to two for now, that already kind of looks too tall, TBH. CJacobs posted:

Mak0rz posted:Making it out of a tall floor, rather than a low ceiling, is entirely doable. It'll just have to be stuck to the ground and impassable underneath. Doom mappers have been making vehicle props (though usually stuff like cars and trucks) this way since pretty much the beginning. Ooooh. Oh man, I never thought of turning the exterior upside down. That's fantastic. Yes, before you ask, the idea is for Doomguy to actually start inside the ship. GlitchThief posted:Wait, sorry. What's a 'tick' in this case? The amount that the floor or ceiling rises and falls when I roll my mousewheel up and down one... well, tick or unit. I think it's probably something like 4 or 8 pixels, but don't quote me on that. *E; F, B.

fishmech posted:Don't forget that the way checking for height works, you can accidentally make a set of stairs that you can climb up, but can't climb down - because the ceiling height is just high enough for upwards travel but too low to go down. Doomguy is a 32x72 unit box. He only needs 40x80 clearance to move freely and 128 is the default height for most wall textures, so that should be pretty easy to avoid running into.
