kristus Posted December 6, 2002 I'm hoping to find out about a few new (previously for me unknown) TC/PC's to play, as I find that much more intresting than megawads. So post away. 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted December 6, 2002 No, screw TCs and PCs, lets talk about single levels or mini episodes. There's many of those, which means that the amount of quality productions is greater. And think about it, on normal maps people have a background to work on, a game they already know, and can concentrate solely on making fine, playable maps, istead of wasting energy on recreating everything, even the cosmetics. 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted December 7, 2002 myk said: No, screw TCs and PCs, lets talk about single levels or mini episodes. No, screw vanilla doom maps. There is more then enough to satisfy even the most determined doom freak. Lets see more TCs/PCs. here are a few neat little PCs (pardon the plug). Give the Zombies TC a good run. it's a barrel of fun! May I also point out that not every doom modder is a good mapper. I couldn't make a good doom map if my life depended on it, yet I have become quite adept at making dehacked files. And the doom mod potential, even after 9 years, has still yet to be reached. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathz0r Posted December 7, 2002 screw single level and mini episode wads, lets talk about deathmatch wads. all the gothic dm wads suck, so do the dm wads i reviewed this week (appearing whenever ling uploads it). IMO, the best compliation dm wad is dwango6. just about all the levels have awesome replayability. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted December 7, 2002 The paucity of on-topic responses would seem to suggest there aren't many good TCs/PCs and/or that everyone assumes Ebola already knows about them all. So what are the main TCs/PCs? In addition to ones mentioned earlier, I know of: STRAIN Hacx Herian2 Hell2Pay Hellraiser Egyptian Doom Anubis ...and probably others I can't remember right now. Oh yes, there is The Sky May Be, of course. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted December 7, 2002 Hell factory is an good 4 levels wad... :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted December 7, 2002 I hope I can make a new episode 1 some time next year... in the old style. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted December 7, 2002 I've been thinking about doing something like that too, but keep in mind recently it's been done a lot, and with success (CH Retro, 2002ado, Classic Episode, E1 week maps), and there have been good ones in the past too (Fava Beans, Dawn of the Dead, and a few other maps.) So it would have to have something new (in some way), or at least excellent playability. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted December 7, 2002 kristus said:weapon mods aren't TC's It might clarify things if you define TC and PC, so people will be sure what they are being asked to suggest. [What I mean is, please give your definition; I don't think there should be a pointless debate about how these terms ought to be defined.] Is modified monster/weapon behaviour necessary? Changed graphics/sounds? How many replaced maps? Do you include wads that make extremely extensive use of, e.g., Zdoom-only features? Etc. 0 Share this post Link to post

My current wad has lots of new sounds and a few sprites but no new monster sprites (although 2 monsters have been enhanced through dehacked). There are lots of new textures and flats, but these supplement the original textures, rather than covering all parts of all maps (like Dark 7). ZDoom features are used extensively. Would it be classed as a PC, a mod or an episode? 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted December 7, 2002 Ultimate DooMer said:Would it be classed as a PC, a mod or an episode? Given the lack of any real consensus about the first two terms (the thread myk linked to is evidence of this), it's hard to say for sure. Regarding Zdoom features, wads such as Fatal's Doom Resurrection and Trust made such extensive use of them that it seemed to me to make them much more different from normal Doom than many standard "PC"s. If your episode "feels" like a significantly different game, then I think it is fair to call it a PC, but this would be purely a matter of perception, of course. And maybe it doesn't matter too much how it is labelled either... 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted December 7, 2002 TC (PC) refers to theming/storyline aspects, "mods" make gameplay differences. Not to say a conversion isn't a mod in its own way. My definition is the best one on that thread of course, not to boast or anything, but till I said what I said, pinning the term to Aliens TC and defining conversion separately to start with, the discussion was about what % of the resources or gameplay or whatever should be changed to make it a TC... pretty superficial (encyclopaedic and empirical.) If your aim is to make another story, instead of adding to DOOM's, you're making a conversion, if you're just adding to it you're not, unless you're giving DOOM a particular theme that is very different from the original (let's say DOOM but in the 17th century for instance, with the Player time-travelling there with his shotgun and pistol, probably most of the monsters doing so as well... something like that) in which case you could call it a "PC" if you want. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted December 8, 2002 Immoral Conduct and the likes are Mod's imo. (also they don't intrest me the sligtest, for several reasons) Nimrod, Strain and RTC -3057 are PC's since they are still absed on the original. Aliens TC, Batman Doom, Twilight Warrior and Covert Ops are TC's 0 Share this post Link to post
Ghostpilot Posted December 8, 2002 Gothic DM is very fun with bots (if you don´t have any friends that still play DooM that is) Aliens TC is the best TC in my book. Immoral Conduct is the best mod. DisneyDooM is a fun PC. 0 Share this post Link to post
