ZDoom

I recently discovered a pre-alpha demo of a game called Space Beast Terror Fright, which is currently in development. ...wait, hey, where are you going? I know "Space Beast Terror Fright" might be the worst name for a video game ever, but hear me out. It's inspired by the film Aliens. You are a ...

I just downloaded the alpha and gave it a try. I tried to keep my expectations low since this is, after all, a pre-pre-alpha. I saw the trailer last month and thought it was great. The idea of Quake-style gameplay with procedural pseudorandom level generation excited me. Unfortunately, after a few ...

I am trying to do something really basic using glowing flats. I like the added atmosphere that glowing floors can create, but I don't like the fact that they brighten the actor sprites that are sitting on top of them. In my tests, GLDEFS Glowing Flats appear to make sprites go to their full ...

Thanks, cocka I think you're correct. It looks like this is a global option, based on what I'm seeing. The FastMonsters description on the Wiki might be a little inaccurate. No problem, though! Instead of using FastMonsters, I'll just go in and manually edit the behavior of every monster, which ...

Thanks, cocka. That provided some more information. (By the way, I visited Hungary last year and I really enjoyed it. I have a friend who lives in Szeged) However, I'm still seeing behavior that doesn't match the Wiki's description. The Wiki explains that setting the FastMonsters flag in a skill ...

Hi everybody, I'm working on a simple difficulty/gameplay mod for vanilla Doom that creates a faster, more challenging experience. I have a fair bit of experience working with DECORATE definitions and this is a very straightforward mod, but I have noticed that my test results aren't exactly matching ...

I'm not really "new" since I have been lurking this forum and making occasional posts for maybe 5 years, but I suppose an introduction is in order. Doom was unleashed on the world on my 11th birthday. I found out about it on the school playground and I got a shareware disk of the first episode at ...

You could try my Random Deaths & Decoration mod ( Thread with screens are in the Projects forum somewhere) Thanks! I gave it a try and I really enjoyed it. It's subtle but still manages to create a more immersive experience. Thanks for leaving the weapons untouched and allowing the user the do ...

>New rule against discussing about BD. >Thread about BD goes on. Shouldn't this be closed here...? Whoops, Sorry about that. I had actually been away from the ZDoom forums for over a year (my last post was back in 2013), so I was unaware of this new rule when I posted yesterday. I just read the ...

Hey Glaice, I agree with most of your points. I enjoyed the added speed and enemy difficulty that BD brought to the table, but I really disliked resulting unbalancing and most of the aesthetic changes it made. I basically wanted a faster, more visceral experience without all of the bloat... And ...

Just did a quick monster count for the original 3 Doom episodes (on UV difficulty).

EDIT: I am using the "Overkill" version for this comparison.

Original: 2352
Brutalized (Overkill): 6097

Wow!

Out of curiosity, I checked the total enemy count for the original Doom 2 campaign in UV difficulty mode compared to the Mr. Chris Overkill version of Doom 2. Here's the comparison in case you're interested: Total enemy count in all 32 maps on UV Difficulty Doom 2 Original: 3,737 Brutalized Doom 2 ...

Chris, I finally got around to trying this out. Good stuff! I'm a big fan of the outdoor transitional areas. It adds to the immersion. Playing this on Brutal v19's "Black Metal" difficulty (fast monsters + 50% damage received) is very tough! ...in other words, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Can you tell me how to "replace the "1400" in the DECORATE lumps"? Get Slade from http://slade.mancubus.net/ Open the wad file in Slade. You'll see two entries: DECORATE and MAPINFO. Open DECORATE. Search for all instances of: Spawn: TNT1 A 1400 Replace the 1400 with the number you wish to use. A ...

it looks like with your mod pain elementals are replaced by mancubus, or at least in the 10th level of doom 2 wasn't sure it that was on purpose (since it might create too many skulls) Thanks again for reporting this. I just fixed this bug, and I will replace the files in my original post. By the ...
