No you didn't, unless it was in a port / mod that added it in.

Is crispy doom supposed to do that?

If you're using an older version of Crispy Doom, sure http://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Crispy_Doom#Changes_of_Crispy_Doom_2.0_from_Crispy_Doom_1.5

I think you can gib zombies with the plasma gun and chainsaw, not sure about imps though. Can someone clarify that for me?

Piper Maru, the truth is that a monster only gets gibbed if its health lowers below the negative value of the monster's start health in a single hit. For example, the Zombieman's start health is 20, so his health needs to be lowered below -20 in a single fatal hit, in order to make him gib. One chainsaw hit or one non-berserk punch each makes a maximum damage of 20, so that they cannot gib a Zombieman or any other monster (all other monsters have higher health than a Zombieman). A single pistol/shotgun/chaingun/SSG pellet deals maximum damage 15, so that it also cannot gib enemies. However, a plasma shot has a maximum damage 40. A rocket has maximum damage 160, plus 128 splash damage. BFG ball deals up to 800 impact damage, and each of the extra tracers can do damage over 100. These weapons can gib some low-tier enemies.

Play on rhinoduck's "pain" servers in ZDaemon (fast + 2x damage monsters) and you'll see things gibbing a lot more often. :)

I was using crispy doom 1.5

@memfis heh

EDIT:Why does this have so many views?

I don't think I've ever seen that happen.

This thread got splitted from Weird demos thread in Doom Speed Demos subforum, and it seems to have adopted that thread's view count. Weird.

So the SSG can gib some lower tier enemies. A closeup SSG shot can deal as much as 300 points of damage.

It cannot gib low tier enemies, because its fire consists of 20 pellets, each one doing only 5-15 damage. As I said, the critical gibbing hit needs to be performed in one hit.

Oh, each pellet counts as one "hit". I see. Nevermind then.

Because when joe-ilya finds something weird, the world stops and listens.

Although the thread does not deliver. :-D

EDIT: But seriously, most of those views must be search engine bot hits ... I mean, wtf.

scifista already explained the view count, and I can confirm that the explanation is correct.

I wouldn't consider 71 to be "many views", or something weird just happened. ;)

They're people hoping to find doom selfies.

There used to be over 4800 views.

So why doesn't hell knight gib if I hit it for 800dmg with BFG when it has 1hp? :((

Obviously because he has no gibbing animation. :)

Only Zombiemen, Shotgunguys, Chaingunners, Imps and SSNazis have a gibbing animation. But with some DEHACKED editing, any monster can be assigned a gibbing animation that will trigger when the monster's health is lowered below the negative value of its spawn health.

P.S. I know that you knew it, Looper.
