Yeah, my reaction was more "hey, it's the Xen platforming sequence from Half-Life, only not as good, crossed with the fleshy level from Blood, only not as good, and unlike either I have only a single weapon with just barely enough ammo to kill anything so if I miss at all I am hosed" and that's the reason I haven't made it any further in AMC.

Morter posted:Can anyone recommend a map pack/collection of SP maps for Duke Nukem 3D? I've played a ton of the Attrition mod, and I intend on continuing to do so, but with user maps not already included in the mod. If someone could point me to a nice, neat collection of any caliber (besides the 5000+ duke levels thing out there), I'd appreciate it Just reposting this for the new page, since no one answered before, but I'll only do this once more. Thanks in advance. Edit: Just tried out the AMC Team, and played as Dusty. Not a bad game at all, I like how the weapons feel...although I promptly got stuck in the area with the Envirosuit.

Gah, I had them on my old HD but I forgot to transfer the .wad files that were used in the PSX version of Doom. Does anyone know where I can grab them from? For Doom 1 and 2 it was 'just' new sound effects, some basic environmental redesign and music, but I recall the Final Doom maps being completely different. I'd really like those wads again because the music is super creepy and really ~immersive~

Congrats on releasing the update, Jblade! I'm nearly done with the Reelism update, but real life is getting in the way as it is want to do. I hope to get it out around the start of the month, but we'll see what happens. As for a Goon WAD, I'd love to contribute, but like I said, I'm really busy lately.  The most I can do is compile it up nicely whenever you guys are ready to release it to the wider world.

Jblade posted:There should be enough ammo and health dotted around to survive, but if you just want to get past it with cheating than the Duke3D cheat codes still work as intended (Although for anybody playing it on the higher skill levels it blocks the ability to get skill trophies) Sorry you're having trouble with the jumps though, if I had more time I should of added alternate routes and stuff and made it less linear (making the jump ones high-risk high-reward) Keeping motivated whilst building stuff is difficult for me these days though. It's less that I have trouble with the jumps and more that I just don't find FPS jumping puzzles fun. Especially when the platforms don't exist until you're about to land on them (although I have to say that, visually, the platforms appearing as you approach is a pretty sweet effect). As for the ammo, possibly I'm just bad at duke3d but I keep ending each fight with perhaps 5 rounds left, which isn't a lot with a rapid-fire weapon. Then I get into the flesh tower and use up all my ammo failing to kill something that can toast me drat quick and welp. quote:If you're playing with an early version though the later versions increase the damage of some of the Abyss weapons so it's worth giving it another go with the newer version if it's been a while. I'll give it another shot at some point with a newer version, yeah. If I keep having trouble with the hell level I'll just skip it with the console.

H2Omelon posted:Nope. I can't for the life of me remember the name of who made it though. They also made a second map called Blood of the Earth which I still have on my harddrive. Those two maps were mine.  I posted them to /idgames a while back and they got reviewed in the #newstuff chronicles at Doomworld a while back. If you're going to use them, I'd say use Blood of the Earth only because that was a much better map (for being only the second one I've ever done). Fear of the Dark was apparently broken when the reviewer playtested it - apparently the starting point got mislocated somehow, but they gave Blood of the Earth a pretty good review. It's a solid little map - I'm reasonably happy with the way it turned out though it probably could have been longer. I haven't dabbled in Doom mapping for a while due to work and other things but you're welcome to use both of the maps in a goon megawad if you want, assuming they work properly.

SparkTR posted:You mean the Playstation Doom total conversion? Thank you for linking to this! PSX Doom was my first exposure to the game, and I had forgotten just how different it really is to the source material. It's really worth playing this port for the loving amazing soundtrack alone. It's creepy! Plus there's other cool stuff: the two games run together (59 maps), Doom 2 monsters in Doom 1, uh, I think there's some original maps too. They took out a few of the more complex maps and simplified or altered others, presumably to fit it on the disc but I have no real idea. It's just different enough to be neat.

Brutal Doom works with it, although you can't keep track of your ammo since the hud is tied to psx_ weapons. Real Guns Hardcore kinda works with it but its buggy and if you switch weapons it goes back to the psx_ weapons and youre locked out of the rgh weapons. I played Doom on my psx a lot when I was younger and I don't remember it being anywhere near as tense as now. I also didn't notice the weird texturing changes and colored lighting back then.

I went to check on Russian Overkill and it seems it's still being worked on. At least I still have the older version. I love playing Deus Vult with it because even though you feel invincible you still need to watch where you shoot off some weapons because the nuke special weapon is deadly as all gently caress in cramped rooms.

I decided to write a very barebones guide to using doom builder 2 and SLADE 3. Its made for people who don't know anything about it. It covers basic setup and going through the process of creating a simple room with doors, teleporters, lifts, scripting, and exits. For SLADE 3 it covers basic texture creation. I know there are plenty of tutorials but I wanted to put everything I learned into one package. Also I couldn't find decent help on SLADE so I added that in there. Its a 13 meg docx which I think openoffice can open. I used a TOC in word so you can jump to each section. The formatting isn't perfect and I still want to add some things. Any feedback would be nice or if you are a word guru you can pretty it up if you want. The WAD is the small map created in the tutorial. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?9z7lauhsvtr1l2u http://www.mediafire.com/?a4f7zi4wp9e361w

OK, so So yeah, I'm thinking of going over it over the weekend (or whenever I get some time) to add more detail where-ever it's needed, so any texture suggestions and tips would be great; otherwise, it's fine to play as far as I know, though I'd appreciate any notes you can offer. Although I've tried to cater to all 4 skill levels, I've only play-tested skill levels 1 and 4 to make sure it feels balanced. I'll suggest that skill level 1 feels about as difficult as Episode 1 of Doom on Hurt Me Plenty/Ultra Violence, and level 4 feels like something out of a mid-to-later Plutonia level in terms of difficulty (but that's for you all to judge!) Anyway, have fun. edit: screenshots!

an_mutt: I played "Aquatic Ruin" on UV + Brutal Doom v16test3. I expected to get thoroughly stomped on my first run, but I ended up making it to the blue key spawn trap before getting murdered by a steady invasion of Cacodemons and Commandos. I ran through it a few more times and feel like it's a solid map: Not ridiculously difficult, but hard enough that even when you do know what's coming, you've still got a fair challenge. The ammo and health pickups are just right, although I had to backtrack a little to find some extra ammo to deal with the Baron guarding a switch (the one that raises the bridge to the blue key.) After I killed him, I figured you could simply teleport in, hit the switch, and flee without killing him, so it's not even a problem. Aesthetically, I think you might want to fix the switch overlooking the pit with water and pinkies. I'm not sure if it's deliberate, but it's paper-thin. Otherwise, the map resonates as a "Doom" map: a little discombobulated, but with a coherent central theme (water!) and some nice aesthetic touches. The semi-demolished buildings are an especially nice touch for some reason. SPACE HOMOS: I tried downloading your mod, "Waste", several times, but every time I try to load it, it simply pushes me to Doom 2 E1M1. Is anybody else having this problem? John Carstairs: Like "Aquatic Ruin", I played your map on UV + Brutal Doom v16test3. Overall I think you should crank the difficulty up a little bit more. I wasn't using BD's instakill fatalities or human shields, but pretty much blasted through the map non-stop without any issues on my first shot. Maybe scale back the medkits or add a couple more "medium" enemies (like Hellknights) to the map. That being said, the map is aesthetically very pleasing. I especially like the secret red key. Because you opted to make a more "realistic" setting, the flow of the map suffered a little (open door, run, stop, open door) but I personally don't have a huge issue with that. I just know some people will.

The the latest version of my WAD is the one on mediafire that I linked. There is one thing I'd like to try and resolve which is teleportgroup function seems to ignore z-height of monsters teleported. Also, my map mostly used Doom 1 textures (from ultimate doom's wad). If I need to move it over to Doom 2, let me know - I'll also rename it to whatever it needs to be. Was thinking about working on another map too. No, its finished. The map funnels you into area to area - you may be missing that there is a lift (light flickers slightly in that sector) to a switch (platform with monsters).

For the time being, I guess we need to keep our maps named "Map 01" or whatever is default in Doom Builder 2. I made the same mistake as you and renaming your map effectively forces people to console their way to it, which can be annoying...sort of wish Doom Builder 2 made that more obvious. Beyond the inability to find any keys, I didn't notice any problems with the level while running it in Skulltag with only Doom 2 installed.
