Sahkan Posted January 23, 2013 My doom remake project ! This is my official page at MODDB.COM : http://www.indiedb.com/games/doom2remake Recreating one of the best games ever in Unreal Engine 4 ! *Latest Updates are in the lastest replays* 0 Share this post Link to post
Impboy4 Posted January 23, 2013 I hate to break it to you, but you're going to get a cease and desist letter from id Software if you continue this. Just warning you. 0 Share this post Link to post
Unholypimpin Posted January 23, 2013 Those are actually really impressive, though please make the monsters look more sinister and evil. And what impboy4 said is true, if you're going to remake doom then make sure your models look different from the sprites and dont make the maps like exactly like the originals. Other than what impboy4 said i think you should continue this project because it looks very promising. I look forward to seeing how the arachnotron and spidermastermind turn out. 0 Share this post Link to post

Um, making the models different from the sprites but still act like the monsters is still illegal. 0 Share this post Link to post

If it gets to be trouble, he could always model them after FreeDoom instead. I'm pretty sure those guys don't care as long as they're credited. 0 Share this post Link to post

How is this different from hires texture packs, 3d models for jDoom, etc? Or are these illegal too? 0 Share this post Link to post

I've heard of projects getting ignored by companies but getting forced down when they start looking too good. I guess the idea is that it becomes a threat to them or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
bcwood16 Posted January 24, 2013 I thought the models etc were going to be for a Doom port, not an actual re-make....though guess it does say 'remake'! As for that floor, looks great, but I noticed its a actual detailed model. I really dont think thats very efficient and should be using bump mapping for pretty much the same result. Not to mention its more flexible and much better on performance. If this is a re-make, should the actual engine not be designed first before real effort goos into assets ? Either way wish you luck and look forward to seeing how this develops. 0 Share this post Link to post

It has a bump map on, but it wont get depth unless i will use parallex map or dx11 tesselation, parallex only looks depthed but if you look at the corner it's flat, dx11 tesselation can do it as well but to get presice results the amount of extra geometry will be huge, therefore this is more efficient to use a low poly model with texture and bump map on it . 0 Share this post Link to post

Yup, indeedy :( I didnt look very hard into the screenshot and thought what I was seeing was a 3D modelling program like Blender or something. Having a Google of Unity, I can now see its a game development platform. Will have to look into it more sometime, looks pretty cool :) 0 Share this post Link to post
GooberMan Posted January 24, 2013 Sahkan said:therefore this is more efficient to use a low poly model with texture and bump map on it. Nope. Because if you're making a Doom remake, you want to apply that material to arbitrary surfaces. And to do that, you're going to have to instance render each mesh instance if you want any reasonable performance out of it, and then you'll have problems with overlapping walls etc. Compared to, say, LOD'ing your geometry shader, making models out of all your textures is the long and convoluted way to do it. It's also scalable - you can use a parallax shader for slower machines, and a tesselation shader for faster machines if you just make it a material. 0 Share this post Link to post
Impboy4 Posted January 24, 2013 Memfis said:Why? How is this different from hires texture packs, 3d models for jDoom, etc? Or are these illegal too? That's different. Those still require the original game to use. I'm talking about something that could happen to this project like this one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pottus Posted January 24, 2013 I hope you have a lot of time on your hands this project will be an astronomical amount of work for one person to accomplish. 0 Share this post Link to post

Then how about a game that doesn't use Doom's resources but still requires doom2.wad to run (via hash check or something), would that work? 0 Share this post Link to post

I realy didnt think about the LOD thing, good point, i guess i will try more with the parallex/tesselation mathods, Thanks . 0 Share this post Link to post

It's not even using any form of the various Doom engines. If anything it belongs where you first put it. Because it is a fan creation. Optionally, in the Everything else forum. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm pretty sure they're just warning him that ID won't be too happy because a recreational Doom project had the plug pulled on it before. Maybe, if there was a way to import these into the Doom engine, it would be alright. There's already a special tag specifically for high resolution textures/sprites, maybe there can, in the future, be one for normal mapping. 3D models are already possible, afterall. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes that would, I think the closest match is Chex Quest. EDIT: My bad, Harmony uses a standalone wad. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sahkan Posted January 24, 2013 The new floor with a parralex shader instead a model . http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/2707/newfloorprallex.jpg so this is like 8 triangles vs 296~ triangles for each tile . I baked the normal map and the height map from the model i made before, so in order for it to look good i guess i will have to model each texture . Please comment and let me know what you think and feel free to give me new ideas, Thanks . 0 Share this post Link to post
PRIMEVAL Posted January 24, 2013 The model looks cool, though the movement is odd. Left a comment on your vid. Texture looks neat. If things look well, I can possibly help in remaking the music for you. Good luck! 0 Share this post Link to post

Could you realy help me with the music ? i would like to have a new doom 2 entryway version, Lemme know if there is somthing, Thanks ! Btw my computer's power supply decided that he is tired of this world so i will have to replace it via warrany i hope it dosnt take too long, i will try to keep making progress from an other computer, stay tuned . 0 Share this post Link to post

MajorRawne Posted January 25, 2013 Good luck with this project! As for making it illegal to have monsters behave like the ones in Doom - I'm not sure id Software put a patent on monsters stupidly bumping into walls as they move towards the player, stopping occasionally to shoot. I'm fairly sure monsters were doing that in the Commodore 16 days. Unless Apple now own id and they're claiming to have invented something retroactively again. 0 Share this post Link to post
