Re: Cosmetic Doom 1.2 is up (it works this time!)

Post by Judge »

Found a couple of bugs
1. During one of the specter's extreme deaths (I believe it's the one where it splits into 4-5 pieces), both red and black blood come out.
2. Blood fountains are still much more common than gibbing and the combination in zombiemen and imps.
3. Footsteps are the same whether running or walking.

Suggestions:

1. If possible, tone down those light posts with the lens flairs or make them more natural; they seem to cast light onto any nearby walls in a spherical shape, even those above them.
Spoiler:
2. Change the armor back to old armor sprite; it matches the DooM's old sprite style.

3. Remove the distorted/animated water/blood/acid fall flats. They don't look natural since liquids don't wave back and forth while falling.

I'm reading the feedback guys. I'm thinking about doing a one final version + multiple individual versions for each of you. Don't expect a new version until next week, though. I'm kind of busy this week.

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to trying out your future build(s). :)

It's nice to play an enhancement that brings the game to life without changing too many of the original game mechanics. I, for one, appreciate it. :)

Looks really cool. Any chance of getting a version with the psx weapon, monster, and items, etc sounds?

Some of the blood might have red in it, but the green and blue also have it since I use the coding to change its color, not using a different sprite.

Can't do anything there, at least I don't think it's possible.

I don't think I'll be doing that.

:edit:

After thinking through I might actually do that. You only want PSX sounds, is that right? Also, do you want me to replace, for example, all the multiple item pickup sounds with the two (I think) from the PSX version etc.?

Shamelessly bumping since I'm curious what people think about the newest version. I can see you downloaded it... :P

Nice work so far! It's nice to see another Doom Enhanced/Redoom like mod around. I usually play Brutal Doom but sometimes it can be fun to just play through a mostly vanilla experience with enhanced effects. Downloading the new version now.

EDIT:

Tried it out for a few levels of Doom 2. The footsteps seem better, a little more subtle. I also like the body drop sounds, adds a little oomph to each kill. The only sound I don't like is the chaingun one. Maybe I played too much Medal of Honor AA, but the MG42 sound doesn't fit for me. :P Have you considered making it the default shotgun sound, kind of like how it is for the vanilla chaingunner and spider mastermind? I think it gives it a good, beefy sound.

I downloaded last night but didn't have time to play with it. I'll have a look-see later today and get back to you. Thank you very much for the 'custom' build. :)

I experimented with it, but it sounds pretty badly in the alt fire mode.

For Vict - no BFG glare and reduced Plasma effects.

Test it out and post the result, since I don't know if I achieved the desired effect, Vict.


Yeah, it's much better now. I've always wondered why that effect with the BFG shot was in the original Beautiful Doom anyway, since Dynamic Lighting can achieve the same effect for those that want it.

Bumping. New version is up.

BTW, for some reason the spoiler tags don't work.

The number of spoiler tags that you can use in a single post is intentionally limited to stop people going on a mega-spoiler nesting frenzy (which had happened a number of times before the limit was put in place).

Good tweaks, but I don't really like what you did with the HUD face. It's so small now that you might as well not have it. :P I liked it more when it was just in the middle and regular sized.
