[QUOTE=Vilusia;45434092]I got DooM 3 BFG did I get the bad version of DooM 3?[/QUOTE] Yes. And you are not the only one. :suicide:
[QUOTE=deckief;45432986]just get doom 3, you can find .wad's for doom 1/2 and final doom online[/QUOTE] Yeah, I own all the other Doom games, just wasn't sure if BFG had anything going for it. :v:
[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;45434108]Yes. And you are not the only one. :suicide:[/QUOTE] Can I play WADs on Doom 1 and 2 with BFG D:?
[QUOTE=Vilusia;45434145]Can I play WADs on Doom 1 and 2 with BFG D:?[/QUOTE] Yeah, you can. Although you need a mod or two to get back things which were left out due to censoring, like the red cross on medpacks and the nazi references.
[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;45434156]Yeah, you can. Although you need a mod or two to get back things which were left out due to censoring, like the red cross on medpacks and the nazi references.[/QUOTE] Thank god. That's the reason I got it is so I could have all the doom games and play WADs on doom 1 and 2.
[QUOTE=Vilusia;45434092]I got DooM 3 BFG did I get the bad version of DooM 3?[/QUOTE] Balance is broken, graphics messed up. You can die with like 100 armor remaining. I bought it to get the Doom 3 expansions, [I]and at retail price...[/I] The only thing I really like about it is having the box. No mods either. You can still buy original Doom 3 and ROE on steam though. And right now they ought to be cheap.
[QUOTE=xalener;45434074]I hope they don't completely ditch it, but find other applications for it. Like, instead of one megatexture for every level, it's one for every room.[/QUOTE] that would defeat the point of megatextures.. either that or it'll work as intended and only stream relevant data from the page file (i.e for that particular room) [QUOTE=Vilusia;45434092]I got DooM 3 BFG did I get the bad version of DooM 3?[/QUOTE] [url]https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG[/url] well you can have a 64 bit version or a linux version and on top of that you can have filtered shadows using shadowmaps so it doesn't destroy performance
Since Carmack's not around to push the megatextures anymore, they may keep it or they may swap it out for something easier to work with. It's hard to predict since Machinegames worked with it, so we don't know if the current iD considers them bothersome.
So do you think id Tech 6 will be the engine Carmack wanted: [QUOTE]It would work by raycasting the geometry represented by voxels (instead of triangles) stored in an octree.[4] John Carmack claims that this format will also be a more efficient way to store the 2D data as well as the 3D geometry data, because of not having packing and bordering issues.[1] It will virtualize geometry like textures.[/QUOTE] Or just be a tweaked id Tech 5 since he isn't around to do code wizardry.
The folks over at /vr/ made a vanilla map pack. It's made really well (it was speedmapped afaik) [url]http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?file=levels/doom2/megawads/200minvr.zip[/url]
Do you guys believe they will make a editor for map making? or even mod tools?
Rage got mod tools after release. Maybe.
[QUOTE=jonoPorter;45435910]Rage got mod tools after release. Maybe.[/QUOTE] Has anyone made mods for RAGE yet?
[QUOTE=Vilusia;45434092]I got DooM 3 BFG did I get the bad version of DooM 3?[/QUOTE] Doom 3: Twin Snakes
[QUOTE=bigmansham;45436287]Has anyone made mods for RAGE yet?[/QUOTE] There is one [img]http://pics.tinypic.pl/i/00553/yuzg8m8mpxgk.png[/img] doesn't even look like it needed modding tools of any kind
I hope Doom has some form of map editor, quite disappointed WTNO didn't have one.
Would be cool if id tech 6 engine could read .wad files, or convert them to the current file handling system. I wanna play through old level packs with glorious HD GRAPHICS
[QUOTE=riki2cool;45437769]Would be cool if id tech 6 engine could read .wad files, or convert them to the current file handling system.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;45433754]Some anon on /v/ said he has a recording and will upload it tomorrow when he's back at his comp. I hope you keep your word anon.[/QUOTE] lol that never happened did it?
So I want to play some Classic Doom, and I also want to experience those sweet, sweet mods. Which Doom do I need / is recommended? 1? 1 and 2, or 2? Only have enough in my wallet to get one.
I like Doom Enhanced for some basic graphical/aesthetic upgrades, but it leaves the gameplay vanilla. More custom stuff seems to use Doom 2 these days, though I personally prefer Doom 1's levels more.

[editline]20th July 2014[/editline] You'll also need a sourceport (unless you really like DOSBox), GZDoom and Zandronum are pretty good.

Anybody know how to do shit with doom 3? [t]http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/6/5673/29564.jpg[/t] I wanna take the shotgun and the chaingun from Quake 2: Lost Marine and use them as replacements for the D3 shotty and chaingun, but even though the shotgun at least uses the d3 animations they seem to be their own weapons so idk how to use them as replacements.
[QUOTE=TheCombine;45443649]You'll also need a sourceport (unless you really like DOSBox), GZDoom and Zandronum are pretty good.[/QUOTE] Or for a closer original experience, Chocolate Doom does all the work.
Jeez, the amount of fake "gameplay" videos on YouTube is rapidly increasing. Sometimes these assholes don't even bother to put on a believable thumbnail. I feel like even if the real leaked gameplay appears we won't find it because of all these fucking fakes.
I still recommend to try Russian Overkill with Brutalized wad.
[QUOTE=Xubs;45444359]Scythe 2,[/QUOTE] I'm expecting disagree and dumb votes but why, WHY do people like Scythe 2 or wads similar to it? I seriously don't get how 50 cyberdemons and archvilles in one room can be considered "fun". I'd love someone to explain this to me.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;45445202]*cough* Chillax *cough*[/QUOTE] I think I got PTSD from that wad
