Doom mods that remaster the experience

[𝕲𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖌𝖊𝖗1]

I was wondering if there's a mod/PWAD orset of mods/PWADs out there that ...

 

* reskins the standard Doom2 weapons to Doom64 or Doom3 or Doom2016? Looking mostly for reskins and not really crazy alternate weapons. Alt-fire modes are fine though. I had dug around the Doom 4 Doom pk3 but I don't know where I might need to decouple stuff to work on its own from that mod. If you know how to do such a thing to help me achieve my goal, I would appreciate the help/howto.

* reskins the Doom2 monsters to Doom64 or Doom3 or Doom2016 monsters without altering the monster behavior too much?

* any texture packs that have a Doom3/Doom2016 feel?

 

Thanks.

Well, there is Doom 64 Retribution, it's one of the best ways to play Doom 64 nowadays and I know that there are some Doom 3 mods that bring "3d model like" sprites or sometimes even actual 3d models, at least for weapons, copied right from Doom 3, but to me they usually don't look good without all the brightness adjustments. And I think I saw some Doom 2016's weapons mods, I don't remember if they were models or sprites, or sort of a combination of both; I think the one I saw were like sprites inspired by the models and they looked really good!

I've been seeing some sprites of Doom 3 weapons in 2D Doom (mostly the chaingun and flashlight) for years but i have no idea where they came from.

I wish there was a Doom 3 equivalent to D4V. D3 has, in my opinion, the best art style in the series. I'd make one myself... if I was good at anything other than typing on this here keyboard.

I made one myself a year ago or so, emulating everything as authentic to the original as possible.

...It doesn't play well and I see no reason to continue.

Fully agreed!

 

@TheNoobGamer: Doom 3 graphics with Doom 1 gameplay would be sweet.

There are some really great looking wads that use that Doom 3 texture pack. It would be cool to have monster sprites to go along with it.

Just a graphics pack would be great.

At various points I've seen weapon sprite wads for Doom3 weapons in Doom/Doom2.

And some Doom3 enemies sprited to fit in with Doom/Doom2.

But I've never seen a whole PWAD with everything put together.

Doom3 is one of the less popular games but it's still kind of surprising.

I think mod-wise, Doom3 -> Doom2 would require less effort than say 2016 or Eternal.

Have you considered releasing it to the community? Some one might pick it up and make it work.

I have never heard or seen this! What wads use it? I'd love to play them.

@Senor500: For example Darkmoon

Unfortunately I deleted it due to hard drive issues. I may try tackling this again soon however.

Well if it's something you're still interested in working on, maybe I can help in some way.

Maybe offer tweaks or something else to help with the experience.
