Maes Posted August 19, 2015 Once, in order to test the view changing in Mocha Doom, I coded a timer which randomly changed the player's view to one of the other map objects every 5 seconds, so at first you were the player, then you were a decoration pillar, then you were a barrel, then an imp etc. However, the way I implemented it didn't just change the view, but somehow overwrote the target map object with the player object, and this change was permanent, so after a while your view drifted from place to place, only to see that all things in the map had been changed to Doomguys. No idea how I ended up doing it this way, but it was a very esoteric experience, similar to the famous scene from "Being John Malkovich": 0 Share this post Link to post

Please tell me you have footage, or perhaps a saved build of this? Sounds interesting and funny! 0 Share this post Link to post

There certainly must be a disabled comment somewhere doing that, and if it's not in the current build, it certainly it's in one of the older commits (it was done in the rendering loop, in RenderPlayerView). Edit: the implementation details were never fully commited, but there's a vestige: a modified R_SetupFrame method, which worked for any mobj_t, not just a player_t object. There also was a randomizer which picked up a random object from those present on the maps (it might also be present, somewhere...), and switched the view to that object. I have no idea what caused the "transformation" side effect, though. Edit 2:LOL I finally found the magic tidbit of code: /* Uncommenting this will result in a very existential experience */ if (Math.random()>0.999){ thinker_t shit=P.getRandomThinker(); try { mobj_t crap=(mobj_t)shit; player.mo=crap; } catch (ClassCastException e){ } } To be inserted immediately after SetupFrame is called (the normal, player one) in any implementation of the RenderPlayerView in any of Mocha Doom's renderers. Actually it had a random chance of 1/1000 to happen, so on average it would happen once every 10000 tics or about once every 30 seconds. Again, no idea why I did it this way :-p I'm not sure if it will still work with the current form of the code, as it implies that at least at some time in the past, a thinker could also be a mobj_t (the opposite is always true). I need to try it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kimril Posted August 23, 2015 Back in the day I came across some weird wad, think it was called waddefuck.wad or something like that, was full of clowns, all the weapons were drug-related, the rocket launcher was a spliff iirc. That was rather weird. 0 Share this post Link to post
gemini09 Posted August 23, 2015 I think the weirdest shit we've done with DOOM was by id Software itself in DOOM 3, and the Nabcon/ Super Turkey Puncher 3 arcade machine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Noiser Posted August 23, 2015 These days I remembered that Bauhaus wad. It's abstractly weird and it's great (principally the latter maps). 0 Share this post Link to post
