ZDoom

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2020 11:36 am**

Basically this is a mix of Doom and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. If you haven't played SJM before, I would highly recommend it.

If you have not, I will explain how the game works, as well as this too. The goal of SJM is to get through 1,000 rooms. They're all pretty small and short, taking about 5-10 seconds per room. However, your journey will be full of jumpscares, and you'll be chased by creatures known as specimens every now and then.

Enough spoilers, the game also has an endless mode, of which is the only mode I have currently Doomsday Mansion, because I think it's more fun and offers more replayability. I do plan however, to make a story mode in some point in the future.

So essentially in Doomsday Mansion, you're just endlessly running from room to room, while occasionally getting chased by demons, and the game will end once you die. Along the way, you will encounter cool rooms, powerups, lore, notes, and many demons of course. Unlike SJM, the endless mode here has a difficulty progression, so skilled endless mode runs aren't weeks long, only days.

Also, some important info for this mod, and some other things that I think will improve your experience.

---This mod is made for GZDoom, and will probably malfunction in other sourceports.
---Remember to put your display hud all the way at 12 (no HUD), this is because the HUD used is auto activated by scripts, and the other HUD's would interfere.
---Turn autorun off, as it reverses the mechanics of the stamina system.
---No hacking into the scripts for a fake high score, though idk why anybody would do that.
---Try to avoid using the automap for the full room exploration experience. I'm unsure how to disable the automap, but you can just type "SV_NOAUTOMAP TRUE" in the console.
---Once you die, you're not supposed to reload your previous save. This is how it works in the endless mode of SJM. You must start from Room 0. I couldn't implement this because there are no options for changing the way saves work in GZDoom.
---Make sure the compatability settings are set properly, the one at the very bottom "Use Original Sound Target Handling" should be set to "No". If not, then the demons won't chase you properly.
---Disable Wall Running, it's kinda cheap for this sort of mod.

---If you see or notice any bugs, glitches and other oddities, be sure to post them here so that I can fix them, hopefully.
---Feel free to post your high scores in the forum if you wish.

Demons

Spoiler:
Throughout your journey, you will be endlessly chased by unbearable demons! We already know you'll be too scared to look at them, so who exactly are they???

(The demons are just various custom enemies, also excuse my poor writing skills for the descriptions)

19 / 31 demons are moderately complete.

1st Demon : Theories have concluded that this demon is a ghost who hides within the walls stalking people, and eventually jumpscaring them with their own face, or various images. Otherwise, demon is completely harmless. Proven to be effective against those who have a heart disease.
2nd Demon : A zombie armed with an Unmaker that's used to drain people's blood. Reports have also stated that the demon's presence causes people to start seeing red and feel nauseous for brief moments. Proven to be effective against unhealthy victims.
3rd Demon : A ghostly phantom that phases through all solid matter who was once found in a barren graveyard. While a bit slow, the demon uses its non-solid properties to its advantage to catch victims off guard. Proven to be effective against careless victims.
4th Demon : A massive spider, white as a ghost, who charges at subjects at a high velocity. Demon is constantly changing in size, affecting it's speed. Proven to be effective against slow or unathletic victims.
5th Demon :
6th Demon :
7th Demon : An ugly green figure who lurks around the mansion, desperate to cause havoc to the lungs. It attacks by using toxic chemicals to slow down subjects, and often flings poisonous sludge with poor accuracy. Proven to be effective in very open rooms.
8th Demon :
9th Demon : A figure that could easily seem to be a regular statue, but rumors have been told that once victims derail their attention, they're never heard from again. Proven to be effective on neglectful subjects.
10th Demon : A flying stone gargoyle who phases through walls, and occasionally teleports. The demon will chase victims at a pace not to be underestimated. Reports suggest that this demon is the cause of some of the doors in the mansion to disappear. Proven to be effective in more complex parts of the mansion.
11th Demon :
12th Demon : An imp who weilds power over shadow magic, lurking around while being nearly invisible, and sometimes teleporting in front of victims to cast shadow magic. Proven to be effective on those who lack awareness of their surroundings.
13th Demon : A transparent floating grapefruit that phases through walls, and expels out poisonous gas around the environment. Proven to be effective against those who have lung issues.
14th Demon :
15th Demon : An incredibly buff armored demon who shakes the ground when they approach. This demon often either lunges towards victims, or tries to jump on top of them to catch them off guard. Proven effective on non-athletic victims.
16th Demon : A bloody red skeleton that tails behind people at a high velocity. Reports have stated that the demon diffuses blood into the environment, and often fires blood powered energy beams from it's beam launcher. Proven to be effective against non-athletic victims.
17th Demon : A strong dark figure who leads a pack of arctic minions. The demons presence is often linked to environments with extreme cold temperatures, snow, and an ethereal arctic fog. Proven to be effective against those who are susceptible to the cold.
18th Demon : A ghostly skull with red eyes that clouds rooms with a blinding white fog. This demon will make subjects confused in which direction they are looking, causing them to quickly get lost. Proven to be effective on confused subjects.
19th Demon : A tall red figure who shoots flames at subjects and lights them on fire. Travels at a quick pace towards subjects in order to get close enough to cook their faces. Proven to be effective against non-athletic victims.
20th Demon :
21st Demon : A monstrous tentacle monster that lurks under the mansion. Contact upon this abomination is extremely lethal. Proven to be effective against those with trauma or anxiety issues.
22nd Demon : There hasn't been much to say about this demon, other that it is just an ordinary giant flying spinning cacodemon head. Proved to be effective against subjects that get too close.
23rd Demon :
24th Demon : An incredibly tall fleshy figure who watches the player, either from afar or up close. Rumors suggest that this demon doesn't like when victims run away from it, often causing severe hostility and aggression. Proven to be effective on more fearful subjects.
25th Demon : A short dark figure that phases through walls and leaves behind a trail of it's own shadows. Rumors have claimed that if subjects get away from this demon, it's determination grows stronger. Proved to be effective against subjects with poor eyesight.
26th Demon :
27th Demon :
28th Demon :
29th Demon : An unrecognizable corpse who was found in a very dark pit deep within the mansion. Whatever happened, the demon exploded into a massive pile of gore, but kept all of its sentience. Proven effective against all subjects.
30th Demon :
31st Demon :

Powerups

Spoiler:
One new feature that Doomsday Mansion has, and Spooky's doesn't, is the addition of powerups found throughout the mansion that will help the player survive. These powerups can sometimes be found in a special room.

Regeneration : Your health will heal much quicker for 5 minutes. Any scratch done by a demon will heal faster than you can say "Ow!". Well, maybe not THAT quick.
Stamina Potion : This potion will give you infinite stamina for 5 minutes. A marathon runner's dream come true.
Blood Potion : This potion will make you 50% faster for 5 minutes so that no demon has a chance to catch you. However, it comes at a cost of also taking 50% more damage than before. Be careful!
Torch : This floating flame on a stick will light up all rooms beautifly for 5 minutes! This should come in handy, since some areas are difficult to navigate in the dark.
Slowness Watch : Someone lost their watch!? In the middle of a random mansion!? Fortunately, this is a watch with godlike powers that will make all demons move at 50% speed for 5 minutes! You'd better waste the demon's time with this, by controlling time, before the time runs out! It's time I stop.
Vitality Serum : Permanently gives the player 15% extra HP. Finding enough of these can make you overpowered, but the demons will try to stop you anyway!
Extra Life : When your health goes to 0, you will lose your extra life and be healed back to full. However, when you do lose an extra life, you'll take 50% more damage until you lose another, or die. The more extra lives you find and lose, the more damage you'll take, to avoid being too overpowered. When collected, a blue light will show on your HUD.
Supercharge : The classic supercharge powerup you all know and love. Sets your health at 200% and anything above 100% cannot be regenerated. Good for having some extra leniency for your next few chases.
BFG9000 : Ohhhhh Yessss!! With the BFG9000 powerup, you can skip any demon chase of your choosing, but you just have to aim it perfectly. Don't waste your BFG shot! When collected, a green light will show on your HUD.
Devastator : Heellll Yeeeahhh!! This powerup is twice as rare as all the others. This powerup is just like the BFG9000, except that whatever demon you use this beast on, will not chase you at all for the next 1,000 rooms! Again, you have to aim it perfectly, or else you'll waste your only chance. When collected, a red light will show on your HUD.

Special thanks goes out to...

---Akuma Kira for SJM, the inspiration for this mod. Also this mod uses a lot of the soundtrack in SJM.
---Josh Sealy for Resurgence.wad, this is the texture resource wad file I use in most of my mods, as well as this one.
---Various other sprite artists because without them, EVERYTHING in this mod would be a childish MS Paint drawing.
---Any other resources I used I owe a big thanks to.

Most people format their images as such:

Screenshots
[spoilertag][imgurtag]yourimgurlink[/imgurtag]
[imgurtag]yourimgurlink[/imgurtag]
[imgurtag]yourimgurlink[/imgurtag][/spoilertag]

That would show three images, for example, one on top of the other, all within a spoiler box that the user can show or hide to reduce image clutter on the post. Remove "tag" from the brackets of course; in full editing mode, there's an "imgur" button and "spoiler" button that will automatically print the tags for you in the text box, just make sure the spoiler tag surrounds all the imgur tags and links. Replace "yourimgurlink" with an imgur "image link" (i.e., not "direct link" or "markdown link" etc.). I'm not sure if you can use other image services to directly show images on this forum, as it has [img] tags turned off, although you can directly link via url to each image or an image album if you wanted I guess, but that would be a little awkward and less convenient. If you're not familiar with imgur, I can try to help you with that too; it's super easy and convenient, definitely one of the best image hosting services imo.

Thank you for the tip, but I was kinda talking about how like when you look at all the mods in the mods list that most of them have some kind of image in the "Preview" column. I have no clue on how to do that.

The first image by default should be displayed, but imgur images (at least for me) failed to display.
I used this method:

Code: Select all

Though this is a very interesting project.
I only got to 100 rooms so far, gonna play some more later.
I wasn't a fan of the Unmaker zombie, as the constant freezing in place got quite annoying.
And definitely not a fan of the wall popups, as one gave me a heart attack as I was focusing on the low droning sound in the background.... And it was Doomguy's face with heart eyes no less.
Of course, the wall popups were there in the original game, so good job on bringing that into Doom too.

One thing I noticed is that this mod wasn't made for "always run" turned on as it breaks the stamina mechanic.
Maybe put a little notice on startup to turn it off?

I like projects that bring different games into Doom, no matter the game.
I have a few drafts of such projects myself.
So good job with this so far!

I tried this out, and now the image displayed is a picture of a broken file. I assume this has something to do with the image itself, but I find it's better than nothing.

I wasn't a fan of the Unmaker zombie, as the constant freezing in place got quite annoying.

I intended for this guy to be annoying, since he was so easy in comparison, but now that I think about it, I'm thinking of changing his blood effect to be a slightly longer lasting, but not as slow. Or if I lower the duration, I kinda want to make him faster to make up for the slowing you down.

And definitely not a fan of the wall popups, as one gave me a heart attack as I was focusing on the low droning sound in the background.... And it was Doomguy's face with heart eyes no less.

Just like in the original, you get used to the jumpscares real quick, unless you're focusing on running from a tough demon, then it might get ya. I'm aware that it could get annoying, and especially cringy, but I imagine that it could just be related to the personality of the demon behind the jumpscares.

One thing I noticed is that this mod wasn't made for "always run" turned on as it breaks the stamina mechanic.

Put it in the important info section to turn off autorun. Forgot to do that while making the mod page. Thank you for your support!

Ah ok, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. Still, screenshots really help with getting people to try your mod; I've seen enough threads to realize a big difference hehe.

All the working image previews in the forum are imgur images, so it must be something we're doing wrong here. Are you sure you're using the right imgur link, i.e., "https://imgur.com/blahblah" and not "https://i.imgur.com/blahblah.png", the former being an "image link" that you need to bracket within the imgur tags while the latter is a "direct link" as defined in imgur. I don't see any images in your thread OP, so that's probably why it's a broken link preview, perhaps? Unless you edited it and it still wasn't working? If you did all this right, I'm confused as to why it wouldn't work.

Good luck with your mod, I'll check it out if I get a chance!

Posted: **Mon Aug 31, 2020 8:41 am**

I think I've got it right with the link and all that, but I guess the only problem I see is that I'm gonna have to post screenshots, so I'll do that to see if it works. I'd say it's worth a shot. Thank you for your wise words.

Posted: **Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:15 am**

Looking good, man! Glad you got it working. I think maybe the forum "preview" image is still broken because it doesn't update after you've already posted it maybe? Unless we're still doing something wrong, hah, driving me crazy if we are. Anyways, to repeat myself, I'll check out your mod as soon as I get a chance!

Release 2 : https://www.mediafire.com/file/eu5cagk3 ... 2.zip/file

Big change in the Doom community, I know, I know I'm amazing.

This update adds 4 new demons, 4 new texture sets (textures in a set of rooms), 2 new room sets (combination of 72 rooms you can get between checkpoints). There's also proper difficulty selections now.

Practice : Demons move slower and do less damage, stamina and shotgun ammo is doubled, regeneration is faster.
Standard : Normal demon speed and damage, normal stamina and shotgun ammo, normal regeneration.
Expert : Faster demon speed and more damage, normal stamina and shotgun ammo, slower regeneration. Demons will chase you much more often, and sometimes right after a demon leaves.

Extra minor stuff, second demon changed to be less annoying, checkpoint rooms expanded on.

Good luck and enjoy!

Release 3 : https://www.mediafire.com/file/kn2ovl5u ... 3.zip/file

Alright guys, so I am sick of bug fixing on Release 3 of this mod, so now I'm gonna have you all do it! Hahahaha!!!

This update adds new rooms, room sets, demons, anything you can possibly imagine! Except for texture sets. It also adds new powerups as well, so give that a go! And a bunch of other stuff has been under improvements. Oh and the paintings have finally been updated, so there you go there. What else? Hmmm, well how about y'all find out what's in store for yourself, eh?

Next update to this mod should hopefully be the final version, and it will be the most ambitious update yet! I will finish making room sets, room textures, demons, and might even include a story mode! Stay tuned, doomers! Good luck!

You may be interested in checking out this previous effort.

The mediafire links still work, the github link is broken but with a search I found this which seems to be it.

Posted: **Sun Mar 30, 2025 1:45 pm**

Hey everyone, first update in this mod in years, but I have picked it back up about a few weeks ago, and I am here to deliver Release 4. This release mainly gives the HUD an overhaul, adds a few extra demons and some other content, and some other quality of life changes. There can also now be multiple demons that chase you at once, up to five, so that'll be fun. There is difficulty progression, so the game will get harder the longer your endless run goes. Good luck! This mansion won't explore itself!
