I know what it's referencing, but what causes them to pop up?
It's random, but I'm pretty sure they only show up in the ripped-straight-from-the-first-Duke Nukem "?" boxes that spawn during that one weapon reel. At least, I can't recall ever seeing them in the wild without that reel...

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

Finished episode 1 of Blood. I forgot I had the napalm launcher and ended up using it to finish off the boss. Poor Ophelia :smith:

Blood is awesome in that it walks such a balance between dark horror and comedy. You've got Caleb singing showtunes and cackling like a madman while dynamiting zombies to bits, then Cheogh shows up and :smith:

Then again, later on you find Gabriel, and uh... Yeah. That was different :black101:

This server was in the original post:

Quake 3: Arena (Vanilla, Rocket Arena 3, CPMA, Excessive): 76.72.167.204:27960

Maybe he means that one. I played on it earlier today and someone joined and kicked my rear end but I don't know if they were from here.

Yaaaaaaay! From the looks of it, 'pre-release' means 'release candidate'. Should be all finished, but any bugs that turn up should be squashed by the time a final version drops onto the Doom archive.

Edit: Now with trailer embed, because I can.

I might just be doing it wrong, but I get a script error whenever I try to run the game, through either GZDoom or Zandorum. Both updated today.

Make sure you're using the latest SVN version of GZdoom, it's picky.

I'm wondering, is there a Samsara plugin or something that makes the hud less horribly in the way and ugly? The top bar for the weapons is huge and awful, and the alternative/small hud is ugly and not informative enough.

The very first command at the bottom category for Customize Controls is a toggle for the weapon bar.

For your first few times playing, there's also a message popping up saying "type cvarinfo in the console to learn about Samsara's options". And if you do that, it's also right there at the bottom category.

If any of you are remotely into the competitive/tournament/etc scene, Zandronum is going to be hosting a for-larks 3v3 Samsara team LMS tournament.
This is 100% a silly debacle and more for sake of fun rather than being about "who da best", so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Hope to see some people there!

Yes. The Doom multiplayer community is right up there with Smash bros. and DOTA as the worst people you could possibly play video games with.

Does Golden Souls get far better after Sorbetto Beach? The first level was decent but really filler-ish with the plants slowing down your progress, then level 2 felt too short and gimmicky with things like the rocket launcher bridge, but the level 3 red coin hunt feel like an absolute nadir in compelling level design.

I think it keeps getting better, though I've only made it just past the first boss level. I agree that the plants feel like they have way too much health, but they get less common.

I have seen this statement to be true. I suppose the root of the problem is vocal forums idiots. We got lucky in this thread. We just need to trigger warning brutal doom.

The Doom community holds people of all types and ages, really. You have angry older men who hate anything new, you've got friendly older men who enjoy the nostalgia, you've got the kids who BLOOD AND SATANISM AND METAL HARDCORE YEAH, you've got the kids who want to explore stuff beyond the typical mold, and everyone in between.

What surprises me is how many super-talented young'uns there are in the scene doing incredible things. You don't want to know how old the developer of ECWolf is.

He created and implemented SBARINFO when he was 14 years old.

(I misread the year and thought he was younger than he actually was, but still, a pretty drat impressive thing to do for that age)

I'm not terribly surprised really.

If you want to play around with amateur game development, is there anything else even remotely like Doom? There's a ton of content, tools, tutorials, active forums, engines with powerful scripting, and making new levels and graphics are a piece of cake.

I've thought for years that any developer in preproduction for a shooter-type game could do a lot worse than to make a crude prototype in ZDoom.
