Classic Doom Killcount (Jesus, that's a lot of ripped and torn guts)

Here we go. I made a bodycount for Classic Doom. This includes The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, TNT Evilution, Plutonia Experiment, Master Levels. Also Sigil, Tech Gone Bad, and Phobos Mission Control (can't forget our lord John Romero, right?), Heretic and Shadow of the Serpent Riders. The only thing missing is Doom 64. The only other other killcount I found is this one but it has slightly different numbers and is not as precise as I would like. Everything is done on Ultra-Violence (as one wise man said, "the gentleman's way to play Doom"). First goes the total bodycount (just to impress you with sheer magnitude of that carnage).

Enjoy!

What about Hexen?

If you do this for every single PWAD out there, I'll donate you $1,000.

I think it's very possible to crawl the entire idgames archive (if that's allowed) and tally up all of the monster things marked as UV

Only 6 Cyberdemons in Plutonia?? Go 2 it contains 14 of them in the level IIRC.

You have keen eyes, master Baggins.

 

Yeah, 'tis a good point. According to the wiki, Plutonia has 23 Cyberdemons on UV. Yikes! Forgot it was even that high.

 

This is still wonderful to read. Kudos, @KH9l3b_228 !

That Imp and Former Sergeant skew though

@RonnieJamesDiner I searched about Master Baggins and it seems it has something to do with The Lord of Rings, is this true??

You.said it, wonderful to read.

I did this years ago with Snes Doom only, but @KH9l3b_228 did God's work. Looking forward to Doom64.

It should be relatively easy to automatically process all PWADs and output the desired data.

I guess the problem with Hexen is that enemies are also spawned through scripts, that even may be conditionally executed. IIRC monster count (and type) also depends on the class you're playing, so it's much less trivial to get the proper monster count.

Suprisingly lower than I thought...

Fair point, I did not think of that.

Would love to see a No Rest for the Living killcount!

There’s more chaingunners in Plutonia than Hell Knights, Sergeants, Zombiemen, and Pinkies combined. Completely worthy of being a meme.

Now do Maximum Doom.  I dare you.

And Momento Mori 

Good stuff here! The one nitpick I can find is that Plutonia has 4 Spiderdemons, one each in MAPs 05, 15, 32, and 27.

 

Interesting too that Plutonia has the lowest body count of the main IWADs by a good margin. Mostly from not bothering as much with basic fodder enemies.

Imagine doing a kill count from the Top 100 WADs list. 

I laughed when I saw the chaingunner count in Plutonia was so high, but I wasn’t surprised.

 

Is there an existing Windows-compat things counter for wads? I recall seeing tallies in a few files, usually called WadWhatOutput, I’ve never tried using the tool but if it could be made to crawl the entire database we could get some insane numbers I’m sure.

 

“The known idgames archive contains billions and billions of imps..”

Why no love for Keen??!?

Are you doing this manually? You did Plutonia on a lower difficulty I think.

 

Plutonia

 

Hell Revealed 1: (All them fucking viles)

 

Hell Revealed 2 (Tis be a massacre)

 

Memento Mori 1

 

Memento Mori 2 (What the hell so many barrels)

 

I attached a zdoom mod that you can use to count the number of default doom monsters and barrels on any mapset you want and from any range of maps you'd like to count. You can easily modify the pk3 to count stuff like weapons or better format the output.

 

You seem to have forgotten to count the amount of mancubi(which are known as fatsos in g/zdoom for some reason) in all of those mapsets, @Pegg. Just making you aware.

Knew I forgot something.. well I might try to update it later.

Probably because a Mancubus counts as 1 and a 1/2 enemies😁

Now do Alien Vendetta, Scythe, Scythe 2, Speed of Doom, Sunlust and Sunder.... *waits patiently*

Surpised to see that Plutonia Experiment has so few monsters compared w/ Evilution. I always felt like Plutonia had more...

Hopefully I didn't make more bugs TM but there is no way I didn't miscalculate something or forget something (aside from some items, no one loves you blur sphere and light googles!!)

 

Plutona (No items counted)

 

Evilution (Look at the number of shotgunners + chaingunners oof - I removed ammo count because am too lazy to correct formulas and count everything)

I love how crazy TNT is with monster counts and yet there are so many items you can kill everything several times over.. It also has so many damn barrels and SSGs for some reason.

 

 

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I honestly don't think there's enough Arch Viles.

That's an incredibly unpopular opinion, dude

It depends on where you ask. Most people on this forum probably like them. But if you look into certain youtube/reddit comment sections, then the AV is the single worst thing that has ever existed in gaming history, and Ghosts n' Goblins is a cakewalk compared to fighting one of them.
I think AVs need something like a Pride month.

I hate them , very very much.
