Here are the problems I'm running into: Use the latest SVN build of zDoom here: http://svn.drdteam.org/zdoom/ Also, make sure you're running both AEOD.pk3 *and* AEODdat.pk3. You can just drag both of them onto the zDoom exe or make a shortcut with "file AEOD.pk3 AEODdat.pk3" after zDoom.exe in the target section.

I just tried making a fresh folder with the latest build of zDoom, Doom2.wad, and AEoD.pk3 and AEoDdat.pk3 and everything works fine. If you're using a launcher to do it then maybe it's causing some sort of problem.

ChurlishToff posted:I loved AEoD. Some pals of mine are coming over and we're going to have a lil' lan party. Is there a method of playing it multiplayer or are we going to be stuck with playing dukeplus 'til our eyes melt? AEoD can *kind of* work in Skulltag, but it has to be an old version and I can't remember which one. My buddies and I get together every now and then and run a LAN party with it, and right now I'm busy trying to make my own weapon compilation with its stuff that's Skulltag-compatible. Don't count on co-op working in zDoom or anything, though. All the stuff going on makes you go out of sync very quickly. Learning how to code weapons using Decorate has been an interesting experience. The scripting is pretty clever, but the unfortunate thing is that there's like 2 or 3 functions in zDoom that aren't in Skulltag that would really open things up for the latter, like true heatseeking missiles.

Convex posted:I tried Marathon (the first one) a few months ago and really didn't have a lot of fun. All down to personal taste, of course, but I found the whole thing way too slow and boring. I can imagine the story and setting (the aspects that really stand above what Doom and other contemporaries were doing) were a lot more innovative and immersive back in 1994, but the gameplay just doesn't seem to have aged particularly well. I didn't really like it much either. The story bits were nice, but I hated the level design in the first game and the combat wasn't all that interesting.

I'm not sure if anybody would be interested in this, but I spent the last week making a weapons pack for Doom 2/Skulltag in the spirit of AEoD: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YQG2ECXA It features a huge variety of weapons, random weapon spawners, a couple NPCs thrown in for flavor (that drop backpacks), and a fully-working Shrinker from Duke Nukem 3D. It should work fine on any map, although I can't promise that the gameplay will be that balanced since I haven't gotten the opportunity to playtest it much. Bots seem to handle it just fine, though, and they can be reasonably tough. Since I really only meant to play it at LAN parties with my friends, I didn't bother to keep track of who made what weapon or anything so I admit everything is shamelessly ripped off from AEoD, Realm 667, and other wads posted around the internet.

JackMackerel posted:What color is it? For me, they heal a bit of damage and work just like mini health kits... This wasn't that hard to make so I did it for you: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XYYWK7VB Make sure you create a shortcut to skulltag and make the target bit look like this: ...skulltag.exe -file RGH_1_11_2_Skulltag.pk3 nazimonsters.pk3 so the files load in the correct order. I didn't do much playtesting so I don't know if something gets broken later on, but there you are! Textures, sound and code from the NAZIS mod: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29815 ~~Modding Note~~: The only thing that really makes it incompatible with skulltag is the use of the A_CheckSightOrRange function for bullet whiz sound effects. I really wish the skulltag devs would get over their feature freeze thing and implement the 10 or so extra functions that zDoom has, since they can add a lot to the game.

co199 posted:The only thing I've noticed is the SS Guard in black with the machine gun doesn't have any sounds played when he fires. Using skulltag 0.98e alpha May 2011. It's not a showstopper. Ok, I fixed the sound issue and implemented XP drops for all the monsters. The amounts might not be appropriate for every Nazi, but I tried to base them on the monster class they share with RGH (Hitler will give you 600-700 XP, a Guard will give you 5-10 XP). Straight up Nazis: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D0686J0T Nazis with RGH (Only compatible with RGH!!!!): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8UHCXECK Link to RGH: http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27749 Again, remember to make a shortcut with "-file **RGH filename** **Nazi monsters filename**" so they load in the correct order. If anyone has issues, send me a PM if you can so the thread doesn't get spammed up. I didn't bother to decompile the scripting for the experience drops to see how it actually works, but I didn't notice any problems when I played through a level.

co199 posted:Holy poo poo dude, you are a fuckin' boss. Thanks! Ok, I found the problem - there was an infinite loop in the spawn code that kept giving enemies more and more XP every second. Here's the fixed version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y83B48G8 Keep using the old one if you like the crazy XP, but I figure you'll get some hilarious crashes in a long map. I'm not gonna balance out the XP rate, and running without the RGH spawns probably results in less monsters. If you want to fix it yourself you can download SLADE and adjust the values in actors/nazis.txt in these two lines for every monster: code:Vertigus fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Jul 1, 2011 |

Yeah I tried to get it working last night and gave up. The team doesn't really care about the OSX version so don't get your hopes up. You can just run the Windows version in Wine, though, I think.

fishmech posted:Does anyone know where I can get a program like this http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=1329 but with a GUI? Basically, you use it to smush together a bunch of random wads into a megawad, it allows you to change their exmx or mapxx location so they don't conflict - but being a dos program from 1995 you have to do this all on the command line and it doesn't like non-8.3 file names. You can use this: http://slade.mancubus.net/ It won't automate the process for you but it should be as easy as renaming the MAPXX markers.

SwissCM posted:It's less that they refuse to, more that they aren't allowed to. Their fault really, they could be completely open source if they wanted but they're not confident enough with the security of their netcode. They released the source to one version of Skulltag but good luck finding it since every link to it is broken. They're slowly porting features from zDoom into the Skulltag alphas but it seems like even the most minor ones have to be scrutinized and debated over. I mean, the expanded A_SeekerMissile functionality is something like 6 lines of code!

The Kins posted:SLADE is the best WAD editor/browser today. It also handles a bunch of other formats like Duke 3D GRPs to varying extents. SLADE is pretty rad. It has some quirks that I don't like, mainly the fact that it doesn't resize the text editing pane properly so the program can only be used in fullscreen/almost fullscreen, but it covers pretty much everything you need to make a mod in one program. As for paletes, you can convert everything you select at once so that's really easy. Just highlight all the textures, right click and go to GFX -> Convert to... and it'll have all the settings you need and even show you before/after views.

The Kins posted:Strangely absent: An upgrade to a ZDoom build that isn't over ten years old. Dammit, I was hoping ZDaemon would be more current. I just don't get this stuff. I know not very many people work on Skulltag and Zdaemon, and they're doing it for free, but I've looked for myself and a lot of the significant changes to the ZDoom code are *simple*, and even the simplest extended and new functions can provide a lot of value for mods. They really ought to open up the source code for their projects. Doing so doesn't necessarily cause rampant hacking and cheating, since other games have done it before. Even a closed-source game isn't immune to the simplest hacks that don't depend on knowing the source code. Vertigus fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jul 18, 2011 |

Convex posted:Probably a dumb question but would there be any way of making a PWAD that automatically starts a new level with just a pistol? IDCLEV isn't a huge inconvenience but it's be nice just set something up to do it automatically... I think you'd have to set up a script for each map that takes your weapons away once it loads, so it's not really practical. As far as I know you can't make that sort of script without referencing the individual map, so it won't just be a "For any map: Take all weapons away except the pistol" kind of deal.

Mak0rz posted:It's a perspective issue that is the nature of the engine, because it technically doesn't draw things in three dimensions. To fix it, enable OpenGL functionality on GZdoom. I know about that, but the thing is that I do have OpenGL on. And I'm not talking about looking up and down, I'm talking about looking side-to-side. Turning on v-sync fixes it, but then the mouse aiming gets kind of screwed up. The effect won't show up in FRAPS so I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the game runs at 700+ FPS, but why would it skew things when looking left and right?

Mak0rz posted:Tried messing with your FOV settings? I'm sure FRAPS would capture that though, and it doesn't really have much to do with vsync and the framerate, so I have no idea... Weird. I think I'll just chalk it up to some really weird screen tearing going on. It doesn't much look like the kind of tearing I get in modern games, where the screen splits in half, but those games are running at maybe 80 FPS on my 60 Hz LCD whereas GZDoom is running at 800 FPS at times. If you get that kind of FPS in GZDoom, check it out by running past a wall and looking left and right as you do so. It's definitely something that's very noticeable, but it's not a huge deal.
