By the way, thanks to even more help from some very helpful folks my ACS and DECORATE knowledge has grown exponentially!!! (read: a tiny bit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60hgbLkjV_E Therefore, here is an update for my mod. quote:NEW STUFF: Also, pickup items aren't supposed to add to your multiplier, only give points, I forgot to mention that in the video. I have a little bit of an idea on how to fix the IDKFA problem and making it so you can't pick up the health item replacements is just a matter of giving the CustomInventory health items a max amount. It's coming along nicely! The trickle down speed is currently just a placeholder, in the next update I'll be shooting for making it decay faster the higher your multiplier is, automagically with math and stuff.

Zaphod42 posted:Unless you're using serious gameplay mods like brutal doom that add headshots, it does the same thing whether you aim or not. Here's an example of a situation where mouseaim is tactically better than autoaim:  The demon isn't a threat because it can't reach you. The arch-vile is a big threat because you don't have cover. Eliminating the archie therefore has the absolute priority, and if you can aim to shoot above the pinkie's head to hit the archie instead, it's better. Feel free to imagine a big swarm of demons serving as ablative armor for the archvile if you want. This kind of situation is where vanilla Doom game mechanics (autoaiming on the nearest monster) can artificially make the game harder. There's even worse with the rocket launcher. Imagine some sort of crenelation, you're firing at a monster straight ahead, some dumb monster comes sneaking by the side of the wall, enters the autoaim cone, your rockets are deviated to go to it, impacting with the crenelation right next to you, and you kill yourself because of monster you didn't even see started attracting your rockets like a magnet.

Rocket Pan posted:Autoaim has nothing to do with the weapon offset. Autoaim is based on the moment a firing action occurs (such as when the shotgun emits hitscans). Meanwhile weapon offsets are based on the level time for every frame that calls A_WeaponReady. In vanilla it sticks in place and never reset because the offset only ever updates with that call (i.e while you don't have fire held down and the weapon idles.) Huh, interesting, I always associated that jump with the auto-aim resetting on the next closest monster after firing while moving. I should dive into the code sometime!

Rocket Pan posted:Hazard damage occurs if the player is standing in a hazard sector every 31 tics of the level timer (leveltime & 0x1F == 0), while the sine angle of the weapon bob is based on angle = (128 * leveltime) & FINEMASK. Both use the same level timer, and as such both have the same epoch. The weapon bob angle just happened to match 31 tics either side of the swing, syncing with the hazard timer, and since the timer continues regardless if the events are relevant or not they always sync up. I guess that makes sense but why have the bobbing animation on a timer at all? Or do all animations need that because that's Just How Things Work? Forgive me I've never programmed a thing in my life outside of statistical analyses in SAS.

This poo poo happens to be more than I care to admit though. Especially dangerous when there are lost souls dispersed about the room charging at whoever they've picked fights with.

Late to the party on this, but I just tested this on my Duke3D install from the original CD, and I'm pretty sure I haven't messed with any of the control settings, and my findings: moving mouse left-right turns Duke in that direction as you'd expect, but mouse up-down moves Duke backwards and forwards.

Forgive me I've never programmed a thing in my life outside of statistical analyses in SAS. Running it on a global timer in lock-step with the game time will make it appear smoother in general. You even need one less global variable then, instead of having a global for "current weapon bob frame" you just calculate it from the existing timer global.

ItBreathes posted:I had the xbla version of Doom 2 at one point and eventually the inability to switch to a weapon directly (and I think the super shotgun being placed at the end of the line) made it unplayable. Was great until then. XBLA Doom was what got me interested in doom again after years past playing the PS port of doom at a families house.

In Duke Nukem 3D you have to turn on "inverted" mouse controls to get what is now considered normal, which is sort of interesting.

I remember there being a really bonkers Doom mod awhile back that had a name text that was almost unreadable, and it had a PSO styled lobby between levels to buy upgrades and other things, among having tons of new levels, enemies, etc. anyone remember what it was called? I was thinking about playing it.

Looking at that box, the game is for the A1200 and A4000; the A1200 had an MC68k processor clocked at the same speed as the 386s DOOM was written for, in addition to dedicated sound and graphics accelerators, and 2MB of RAM (upgradeable). The A4000 was a higher-budget equivalent and used a more modern Motorola processor with twice the clock speed. ToxicFrog fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Jul 20, 2018 |

The Kins posted:They were known for their 2D beefiness in the late 80s. They were pretty bad at the sort of 3D graphics that Doom and similar games demanded. Some very talented programmers were able to get reasonable approximations of it out of the hardware, often with serious compromises to resolution or gameplay. I wanna say Breathless was published by a peripheral manufacturer trying to continue sales after Commodore's demise... Yeah, the Amiga architecture was very good, for 85-87, at dumping a conventional 2d platformer or shooter into a TV set as display real fast. And that design was almost perfectly the opposite of the design you'd want to render live 3d gameplay.

RR is like most of Xatrix's stuff where the visual design is really good (well, the levels and textures anyway) but the gameplay is pretty bad. Kingpin also looked amazing but played like poo poo and RTCW was an improvement but still kinda suffers from being inbetween the classic FPS and the more modern era of shooters.THE BAR posted:Bought it for the soundtrack.

Playing some Oblige maps with SmoothDoom. Thanks thread for recommending SmoothDoom, it has a buncha extended options that are a nice middle ground between vanilla Doom and the wackiness of Brutal Doom (which I also enjoyed). I'm also sometimes playing with textures resized with HQ4X, if that sends anyone into a paroxysm. It tickles me to do so when I originally played Doom on a machine with a busted sound card that also struggled to play the Quake demo.
