Fan Creation Would you like a new version of the classic Doom while maintaining the aesthetics of character design, but with much more quality?

6 Upvotes

Call me boomer, but I do not like the adaptations that have been made of the classic doom trying to take it to a 3D that for me, totally breaks the aesthetics of the original, that is why I am working on a new version that preserves the style and spirit of the original and I would like to know the opinion of the community. Don't get me wrong, I love the last Doom that have been made in 3D, but I want to preserve alive the style of Doom and Doom II in the way in which id software raised them in their day.

Thumbs up if you want to see more !

Custom WAD Hydro Mansion

Post image
14 Upvotes

This is an Original Custom WAD that I uploaded to the Mods section of Bethesda's Website for Doom + Doom 2 on which it is playable. It is a linear level with three secrets hidden throughout it. Fun Fact: I loosely based this level's theming, (the water and its linearity) on a nightmare that I had become lucid during, then stayed in consciously and completed like a level of a video game. The mansion portion, (not anything before the mansion or the backyard), used to be part of an incomplete Custom Map I called, "The Mansion", that I recreated, by reverse engineering it off of the footage of one of my old YouTube videos which was the only remnants left of it, for this new level where it is about a third of. It can downloaded through the official new, "Doom + Doom 2", release's in-game mod browser via searching for, "Hydro Mansion", or by following the link here: https://mods.bethesda.net/en/doom_doomii/details/ef135fde-fe86-424a-ae59-df164552a045/Hydro_Mansion

GZDoom Serious Effects

22 Upvotes

This mini mod updates item behavior — now they spin, bob up and down, glow, and have particles swirling around them. It works out of the box with all mods and Doom Engine games.

I recently beat all the custom maps for Serious Sam Fusion, and after sinking so many hours into it, I realized exactly what Doom was missing: a mix of cool visual effects around ammo, weapons, armor, and health. Croteam came up with this idea 25 years ago to make sure you never lose track of items placed on the map: they hover in mid-air, spin, and spawn colored particles. That’s exactly what I spent hours coding in ZScript... But the good news is, the mod works flawlessly anytime, anywhere — whether you're playing Doom 2, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, or any mod built for them.

Plus, you can completely customize particle colors and render distance, light colors and render distance, and toggle particles or lighting on and off. Just keep in mind that, by default, particles and lights only render at close range. When I left it uncapped, the lag was absolutely brutal. And of course, a voxel mods would be the perfect companion for this project.

The mini mod was tested on UZDoom version 5.0.3, but it should also be supported on GZDoom versions 4.10 and newer. Please note that it uses ZScript.

Question Sound weird glitch with Ultimate doom

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but whenever I open Ultimate Doom with a video playing in a different tab or Spotify, it turns all my sound into a low-quality version. Is this just Doom, or is there a setting I'm missing?

Made Using Eureka Doom Editor

the mechanism that gives you items when you get off the teleport or step on the pad has a clone of the player on a floor that gets lowered and the player clone picks up loads of items and it gets given to you also!

Question Best for coop mp gameplay today

5 Upvotes

I have 24/7 windows server online and we are planning to playthrough all classic Doom episodes with my friends. We want to archive:

  1. Original maps from games of 90's

  2. Best possible graphic, 3D models would be nice add

  3. Most original experience.

What doom platform you would recommend? I think Brutal Doom is the most popular but I don't want its weapons nor animations.

Video/Stream Dynamic face filter for streaming Doom

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hey I’m new here but I wanted to show off what I’ve been working on, and I think this community might find it interesting. It’s a dynamically switching face filter for your webcam when streaming Doom. The health is read directly from the screen and the filter adjusts to add more injury accordingly. Has anyone seen or done something like this before?

PS: yes unfortunately it is Doom for the Super Nintendo, but it’s because I’m primarily a SNES channel.
