here's a teaser for Total Chaos(seriously it's ridiculous how good they managed to get even a modified Doom engine to look) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOg0BhlIvyQ

Brasseye posted:That one on the right is one sorry looking cacodemon. I remember enjoying Doom 3 at the time but it has probably aged very badly in comparison to the other 2. If you play Doom 3 make sure to get the BFG edition since that rebalances things to be a lot more fun as a shooter(for one thing you can use the Flashlight and a weapon at the same time now), it comes with both Doom 3 expansions, and perhaps most importantly it comes with Doom 1 & 2(in WAD format at that) including the No Rest For The Living episode that used to be exclusive to the Xbox Live version of Doom 2(also in WAD format so you can use it with source ports) Also quick question; who owns the rights to Strife?(I ask this cause I noticed that not counting Chex Quest, it's the only idTech 1 game that's not available for purchase on Steam[or anywhere else], which means that unless you get your hands on an old copy of the game, it's the only idTech 1 game that you'd have to pirate to play[since Chex Quest 1 & 2 are available legally through Chex Quest 3 and every other idTech 1 game is on Steam])

So today I found at a thrift store a copy of Shogo(in a double pack with some rpg called Septerra), so is there anything I should know regarding getting it to run and getting the most enjoyment out of it?

Bought some games on GOG with mixed results; 2 of them didn't work at all(Shogo, and Unreal Tournament 99), while the other two worked out pretty well(Unreal Tournament 2k4, and the Redneck Rampage collection), which makes me think two things, one is that Redneck Rampage could use a revival cause it's pretty fun, and that it sucks that UT2k4 isn't more active on it's online component

Elliotw2 posted:UT99 should work if UT2k4 works. Make sure you install one of the updated DX9/OpenGL or DX10 renderers, and install the latest fan patch, and try it again. You're probably right, but I'm just going to stick with 2k4 for now(don't got the patience to deal with that sort of fiddling right now)

RPS has "the 50 best FPS ever made". also does anyone know where one can find a copy of the PC version of the 2009 version of Wolfenstein for cheap? and really I'd say both Bioshock 1 & 2 are pretty great games, and are generally worth playing(and Infinite isn't awful albeit inferior to the first two, but switching to a two gun system was an awful decision, as was making Vigors able to be used less often than Plasmids could be)

while we're talking about DOOM ports, trying to remember what exactly was unique to the Saturn & PSX versions of DOOM, and FINAL DOOM(I do remember they differ from the original versions), also wondering if there's a WAD/Conversion for those versions

I hit a veritable jackpot today at a local Savers(thrift store chain), found a copy of Tribes 2(what's the best way to get that running on a modern computer, and is it still worth playing, or was it entirely reliant on multiplayer?), and a bunch of 3rd Party expansion packs for Quake 1;(Id_Software)-1.jpg)    anyone know anything about any of these and whether they're worth trying?(also have a copy of Quake 1 and it's two official mission packs on Steam, what's the best source port to use on a Windows 8.1 machine?)

Guillermus posted:I always find more replayable a wad with Samsara because of the character selection, each one gives you a completely new playthrough because of the weapondry (I always do at least a Quake Ranger and Heretic Cleric run). it's too bad Samsara stopped development, would have been interesting to see even more FPS characters get added to it(the fact that Lo Wang isn't playable is a huge disappointment), really wish I knew how to code for Doom/idTech 1 cause I would totally expand Samsara as far as humanly possible in terms of playable characters(I wonder how many characters could be added before it becomes too unwieldy to use)

SilentW posted:What, specifically, are you having trouble with? The Github page for DoomRPG has a very good guide on exactly how to get it working with DoomRLA/Monsters. well I'm lazy and computer illiterate enough that I don't want to mess with making batch or shell files(one of the reasons I use ZDL, cause it makes running Doom simple as hell), but when I try to set up ZDL to launch DoomRPG I can't figure out how to get it running with that(turns out there's no issues with DoomRLA and RL Monsters cause those are just WAD files and ZDL can handle those easily)

Elliotw2 posted:I strongly suggest using the DoomRPG launcher for it instead of ZDL, but if you want to you have to make the DoomRPG folder into a pk3 file, and then load it and whatever compatibility patches your pwad/iwad needs. If you want to use the DoomRLA with it, you should load DoomRLA.wad, then the monsters, hud, and finally DoomRPG itself. tried using DoomRPG Launcher but it's garbage that doesn't work, also how do I make a pk3 file?

SilentW posted:I don't use ZDL, but all I had to do for my launcher was to get it to load the appropriate folders in the DoomRPG folder... but I guess if you're totally unwilling to make a batch file, there isn't much you'll be able to do about that. rebinding keys is something I don't mind doing, same with figuring out menues, just really didn't want to deal with anything complicated Elliotw2 posted:Throw everything in the folder in either a .zip or .7z file and rename it as .pk3 or .pk7. I'll give it a shot EDIT: neither of those options worked drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Okay finally got around to reinstalling Quake and setting up Quakespasm and so far it's working really well, I'll eventually need to get around to grabbing some additional SP addons(like that one X-Men Total Conversion) and installing those Quake Expansions I bought last month as well after I beat the Campaign(and maybe the Mission Packs as well)

While I don't like being railroaded(unless it's done in a cool manner), I'm definitely not a fan of getting lost in old FPS's, although Doom(and other idTech 1 games) is the only one I've played recently that that becomes a big issue on a regular basis(Quake so far in comparison is a lot simpler in it's map layouts)

Nintendo Kid posted:Speaking of which, is there easy ways to modify Quake and Quake 2 so you can raise the ammo limit for each type super high, but not just make ammo infinite? Or to allow health and armor pickups to infinitely stack as long as you don't die? I like to replay wads with that sort of thing going on in Doom for the interesting change in balance when you can get yourself 1000 health during one map of a megawad and then nearly lose it all to stupidity in the next one. Well the "give [item] #" console command can give you ammo, health, and armor a lot higher than normal, although it doesn't quite stick properly with ammo, so you can play around with that sort of thing a little
