I'd like to request you check out a WAD called Guncaster. It's a weapon/gameplay modifier that turns Doom into something insane and full of explosions and bullets.

Congratulations on describing native doom. :bravo:

Yeah, there were one or two wads that just didn't wanna run in Zandronum for whatever reason that still ran in Skulltag. It's mostly just a fall back, at this point.

Might be wads that do something specific with the extra Skulltag weapons, since those don't exist in Zandronum. That pk3 mod with classes I spoke of a while ago only works with Skulltag for that reason.

Stream Alert!

While there won't be a DooM Stream, tonight (I don't have all the stuff I need.), we are gonna try and get a game of Quiplash going.

edit: Mialath's hosting cause my internet is bad:
Come join the fun.

Well, that was certainly a time. New episodes up on Friday.

Anybody still watching this thread should come join us tonight for more DooM Streaming.

Same DooM time (9:30 Pacific (that's -8 GMT)), same DooM place.

Twiggymouse: Mar 4, 2013; Well, take this with a grain of salt, but

~~Stream will be starting shortly, with a brief tech support moment.~~

All done.

So, important stuff:

I can't get my computer to host multiplayer stuff, cause my network just doesn't like to host things, in general. As such, if we wanna make

actually happen, we either need somebody to host for us, or someone who can troubleshoot this problem that's been plaguing my computer for the last ten or so years.
Now, if this issue can be resolved, we'll keep doing streams until we've run out/burnt out on multiplayer stuff. However, if it can't, then the last stream just ended. I'm still cutting together all the videos from the previous streams, and there's a huge buffer of stuff that's already ready to go, pending the release schedule, but for the last chapter, Thy Wads Consumed*, I'm going to be switching the format to edited videos with post commentary, as these videos will be me playing through the stuff on the list that I really liked and wanted to explore further.

In short, thanks for coming out, guys. If we can get the multiplayer stuff working, we'll see you then, if not, feel free to contribute videos/discussion/wads for me to try out to the thread and I'll keep playing DooM and posting videos.

Cheers, all.

So, since I didn't really get a time frame from anyone, I'm gonna be around from about ~~noon Pacific on Tuesday the 4th~~, till about 5 PM Pacific on Thursday the 6th.
I'll be keeping a stream alive for most of that, so message me/show up for the stream and we'll get some games going.

edit: That's actually gonna be later in the evening on Tuesday/early on Wednesday. Sorry.

edit the second: Stream'll be starting up in about three hours, probably. Gonna go till I don't know when.

edit the third: Come hit me up for some games.

Kay, so we ran through a handful of wads with varying degrees of success, but there's only two or three of us, so I'm gonna shut it down unless I get some folks who wanna join in.

If you're interested, message me through SA or Steam (same username and avatar) and let me know. Otherwise, that's it for the streams, so thanks to everyone who came out.
More videos are, of course, on the way.

The pistol model in that fist wad is the Automag from Unreal. EDIT: Not going to fix that typo

And something I've been wondering since the first episode... don't you ever save? It would let you show off more of the wads and not have to play through the same thing after each death.

Oh god those four-legged monsters in Harmony are legitimately terrifying

I have legitimate trouble remembering I have a quick save/load feature in any game. I will be using this to show off some of the WADs I enjoyed or just want to pursue further, though.

So I downloaded GZDoom Builder earlier this week. I'll never really be one of them great mapmakers, but I have a first goal: produce one non-terrible map. So I've set limitations on myself for what weapons and enemies are allowed to appear in it, and it's going to be pretty basic and straightforward. Think E1M1 or something.

While not surprising, it's still interesting that even after spending only a few hours with it (my greatest achievement so far is that I now know how to make functioning doors), I find myself looking at Doom maps in a whole new way. Especially doors, since that's what I've spent most of my time on: I look at them and see that no, they're usually not actually as thin as I thought they were.

And yeah, I could probably record something for the thread as well. Been on a Doom kick lately - almost done with No Rest for the Living, partway through Valiant, playing 1monster.wad for some reason and started the Doom 64 Windows conversion.

Maybe I'll just do a 100% playthrough of my favourite map to start out.

Whatever you'd like, really. I'd love to see people get through the Action DooM's (particularly the 2nd) and see someone actually make it through some of the stuff that just roadblocked (read: rated "red" because I suck at video games) me.

Something I thought about (way too ambitious, probably, but whatever) is trying to put together a sort of "thread wad" where those of us who can make maps* try to put together a few and run through 'em for the thread.
While an actual 32 map megawad is maybe a bit too ambitious, I'd love to see what we can come up with. Plus, it gives me more content to stream.

*_{quality not required}

On another note, I'm going to be trying to work my way through some of the WADs I found more enjoyable (Arcadia Demade, for instance) and checking out the various maps on the Community Chests and such. The games I just wanna finish I'll record and edit off stream, but the community chest maps I might go ahead and record through a stream.
I also wanna do a full run of Suspended in Dusk using the DooMRPG and DooMRL Arsenal WADs, which I may or may not stream.

Don't let that bar you from recording any of the WADs we've seen so far, though.

I recently completed Whispers of Satan using Demonsteele, and it was really fun throughout. Difficulty spikes at times near the end, but overall it was a well-designed and created WAD that complemented the mod very nicely.

Oh hey, Threshold of Pain uses a bunch of Doom 64 stuff - most sound effects are the D64 ones, the HUD is styled after the one in D64 and the Super Shotgun sprite is the D64 one (but that one doesn't have a reloading animation). And the lighting is reminiscent of D64 as well, actually. And the grey, translucent imps with purple fireballs are also from there.

So it actually seems to have been an attempt at making a Doom 64 fangame in Doom II. There's an identifiable coherent thought that went into it, that's probably harder to see if you haven't played Doom 64. I started playing Doom 64 EX not too long ago, which is a way to play it on PC without emulation.

Edit: I definitely do "On the one hand, X. On the other hand, Y. On the third hand, Z." Alternatively, "On the other other hand, Z."

It seems you really don't take advantage of monster infighting at all. A bunch of those generic maps could be made much easier and you would have saved alot of ammo if you just got them to shoot each other and fight it out, then wait 30 seconds to finish off the victor.
