I just loaded it up and selected the second episode and didn't have any issues with prompts. This makes me think it's not necessarily a conflict between UTNT and Brutal Doom but something else. Well I was using GZDoom so I tried it with Skulltag but the message is still there, and I still don't get to pick a class. I'm using Brutal Doom 0.14 and Skulltag 98d.

Very strange. I wonder what we're doing differently. I'm just drag / dropping both Brutal Doom and UTNT over my skulltag.exe as I do with everything.

It's most likely load order - The Doom engine loads WADs in the order given to it, and drag-and-dropping can be kind of a crap shoot order-wise. Also, UTNT changes a lot under the hood as well so I wouldn't be shocked if Brutal Doom had some horrible conflict with it.

That's the thing, though: I've played through a lot of UTNT with several versions of Brutal Doom and haven't had any problems. I've always considered the combination a beautiful pairing (granted, the new creatures can't be headshotted, etc.)

Quick question for AMC peoples: I was on the Revolution mission at the third part (where you play as Highwire again) and got to this section right here. The door doesn't open and I eventually realized you had to jump through the high window, but are you supposed to do it by bringing one of your squaddies with you and jumping on his head to reach it? Because if that's the answer and all my guys had died, I'd be pretty pissed off. Edit: Oh, wait, you can wall-kick through the window. I use it so infrequently that I forgot it was a feature V  V

Thompsons posted:-Worst thing about it (or the best thing, I think it's funny as hell) is the voice-acting and story. That aside, I haven't had this much fun with Duke Nukem since I finished War of Attrition. quote:-The characters are all goofy as hell but I love how distinct their arsenals are (like Znort's guns don't require reloading, Merlijn is melee, Nikko's armor-piercing gats, etc); they even get different powerups, which made me smile. quote:-Levels themselves seem great so far after about four stages in. The biggest worry I had was everything being a giant circuitous keycard hunt like War of Attrition's community maps were, but it looks like you managed to skirt that. I think the Hell map could've been shorter but it was far from the worst thing I've ever played. --Edit: playing the Abyss level again, getting the red key is kind of obtuse because as far as I can tell, you end up going through a teleporter and arrive at this boney meat-tower thing, and to get up to the balcony you have to use the jump pad in front of it. The problem is that I have no idea how you're supposed to activate it and just got through it by chance after kicking the tower's base and then backing up over the jump pad. If I were you I'd look over that part again and give the player some kind of scanner hint or something because I basically found the answer through dumb luck. quote:-Research and topics carrying over from one game to the next is great since I don't have to search through every level on multiple playthroughs, though I'm kinda curious as to how I get these weapons and ammo types I researched. Do I pick them up in the armory before heading to the briefing room? Also, are there ways to switch between characters at the base? quote:-Streamed it, one friend thought it was completely absurd and dumb.

Does it support co-op? quote:Secondly, in the Megabase level, I found a sort of easter egg(?) on some ducts near the suspended crate that you can jump on to get to one of the roofs. It said something like "SLEEP SLEEP REST". Any info on what that's about? I like to imagine the mapper was up really loving late that night.

I'm surprised at how good the retextured Marathon games look. The mood and lighting reminds me more of Chex Quest than Doom, which is great because I loved Chex Quest. Edit: It's fast though and makes me a bit queasy. The corridors are way too tight in Marathon 1. Tezzeract fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jan 7, 2012 |

 It looks like Christmas Will you be adding more maps in future releases, or will other people be able to make maps for it? Because I think a Doomified version of Dead Rising's mall or Fortune City would fit this mod really well. Or maybe a bonus mode - a score attack based on the most satisfying reel combination - Infinite Ammo, Flame Weapons, Bronies.

I've sort of kept a bit quiet here about the next update because I sort of don't want to take over the thread... but yes, I'm working on a big "expansion pack" update, which will add a couple of new maps, around 18 new rules, and some new items and bosses. It changes things up quite a bit!

I miss the days of shareware. Tons of great games being released, and none of this lovely 1-level demo stuff. Doom gave you a full third of the game to play without paying a dime. After playing those 9 levels it never occurred to me to just say 'Welp I'll just replay this over and over' instead of buying the whole game or whatever modern publishers are worried about.

There weren't even any preview screenshots of the games or anything. At most, there was a basic synopsis, so you were basically taking a shot in the dark that your 6-8 hours of downloading would yield something worth playing. Ah, the glorious dial-up crawling Web 1.0 demo downloading days.

That reminds me...funny story. Quake 1 required a Pentium and I only had a 486SX/33. So when the demo came out, I downloaded a program that emulated a math co-processor. The good thing is that it made the game work. The bad part is that it ran at about one frame per MINUTE. I think it that Christmas that I got a boxed copy of Quake and a Rendition Verite card so I guess it all worked out in the end.

Wow, Knee Deep In The ZDoom is some loving bullshit difficulty wise. I don't know whether I want to keep playing this, if this is the first level. There's a reason the original game didn't put a ton of hitscan enemies in every room while you're still using the pistol. Then once you get the shotgun, you start having to fight multiple invisible imps in dark rooms, and they have rapid fire projectiles. Brutal Doom upped the difficulty some but at least gave you better weapons and headshots to compensate.

Thus far I'm not too terribly impressed with KITZD. The new enemies are cool, but the new scripting stuff has thus far mainly been used to send the player on obscenely long keyhunts, while never really getting more clever than the level design in Quake II.

Reelism is remarkably addictive! Though I've learned to dread when Former Humans come up in the enemy reel. Hundreds of hitscan weapons. You can imagine how that usually works out for me. At least there's oodles of infighting.

TOOT BOOT posted:I guess the difficulty evens out a lot after the first level because I was running around at full health most of the time during the second. Do yourself a favor and skip straight to Z1M8 if you don't plan to play through all of it. It's a worthy reinvention in regards to the feelings of dread and fear E1M8 still evokes to this day. Don't let it trick you into thinking the rest of the episode is as good, though. e; And yeah, y'know, while KDiZD is convoluted as gently caress all, it's not the on-rails scripted experience that composes a majority of modern shooters. It concedes to some pretty bad design principals, but it's nothing if not detailed. Sometimes you may be in a mood to spend hours searching for a single secret on a single map. Maybe. Are you ever in that mood? Probably not. But that's not the point. If ever--by some freak series of events (which will most likely be incredibly maudlin and horrifying) in your unfortunate life--you find yourself in that mood, you can rest easy knowing you have a wad to fulfill it. It's the satisfying gunplay of doom injected into a whole different beast. When you think of it that way and manage to pull the "why am I not playing _____.wad instead" thoughts out of the front of your mind, you might find you really enjoy it. treat fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Jan 10, 2012 |

Still, at 8.8 MB, it took like 90 minutes to download...which, for my young self, might have felt like 8 hours. There WAS a demo on AOL that I remember taking all night to download. And then, later, the Unreal Tournament '99 mods that were each 4-6 hours. Basically, dial-up was a terrible, terrible thing.

Hey guys. I think somebody here might be able to help me. I remember a doom clone (around the time doom II came out I think) that had you driving around in a taxi and running stuff over etc... A bit like a very early version of GTA , set in a post-apocalyptic world. Can't remember the name though... Speaking of doom. I recently found this track I made in 2007 or 8, and some of you might recognise to what it was a tribute. http://youtu.be/TvlXf4bcYoM .
