Rayziik Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL Welcome back. Judgment: Retrial is an update to Judgment, focusing on fixing bugs and during the process making changes to gameplay, mechanics, monsters, and even a good few of the maps themselves. Most of the original is still the same, but all the known issues that unfortunately made it through the testing I did before /idgames have been fixed, and the pain points expressed by all the wonderful people I have been able to watch play and/or speedrun the wad have been alleviated (hopefully!). A teaser of what all has changed: - Weapon swap speed has been doubled - Chainsaw has been replaced with the Impact Gauntlet - All maps recieved more ammo - Provisions have been made for "-coop_spawns" to be playable as a new hardest difficulty - Ambient sounds have been added and used in almost every map - New decorations that fit aesthetics better on some maps are added - And there's so much more! I originally planned to carry all this out for NanoWadMo, but the project ballooned a bit more than I expected it too. It's completely coincidental that I released this on this day in particular. If you've played Judgment already, there's plenty of other things you can probably spend your time playing, but if you're itching for a replay I highly recommend trying it with "-coop_spawns" in your command line! Thanks to everyone who played the original. = OP (Judgment Final) Spoiler After 8 years of (on/off, slow) development, it's finally ready. Judgment is a 34 map megawad that makes extensive use of Dehacked features to modify existing monsters and implement new monsters and mechanics. All difficulty settings as well as multiplayer are implemented. Deathmatch support is implemented, but remains completely untested. This project uses Doom 2 as an IWAD and requires a source port that supports the MBF21 standard. Every map was tested in DSDA-Doom 0.22.0 and GZDoom 4.7.0, using hardware rendering. Other source ports that support the standard should work as intended. Judgment focuses on two facets of gameplay: pressure and set-pieces. The gameplay is centered around pushing and pulling you into different situations where you must use your skills to survive. Conversely, the harder you push the harder it will push back, and sometimes knowing when to run is the best choice will mean the difference between dying and getting through. Between the various set-pieces is a healthy amount of incidental combat to keep you on your toes. Think Plutonia painted with a modern brush. I believe this project somewhat represents a timeline of my mapping style as it has evolved over the last eight years. The first map was made in the summer of 2013, and the final map was completed in the winter of 2021. Originally the project was targeted at Boom compatibility with a few minor Dehacked edits, but was eventually lifted to MBF compatibility to allow for more extensive changes. With the recent release of the MBF21 standard, the Dehacked was rewritten entirely once again into it's final state, and the maps were modified to take advantage of some of the new features. = Pictures: (linked thumbnails) = Downloads: Judgment: Retrial - RC3 (1/31/2024) • Mirror Spoiler Judgment - Final Release (12/27/2021) • Mirror • /idgames UDB Config & Test Map - Mapping Resource (12/27/2021) • Mirror Judgment Rejects - Standalone (-complevel 09) (11/18/2021) • Mirror = Known Issues: -Some maps will unintentionally have extra monsters present in GZDoom when playing on Mega-Violence -Potential for monsters to get stuck in their closets in GZDoom due to physics differences between ports = Design Notes: For the best experience, use DSDA-Doom 0.27.4 or newer, with -complevel 21 if running from the command line or recording demos. GZDoom 4.11.3 and Woof! 11.0.0 should also work completely. Doom Retro and Eternity should be usable as well. Judgment: Retrial uses heavily modified resources and Dehacked to significantly modify monsters. Some maps require these modifications to remain intact in order to operate correctly. Therefore, the usage of mods that modify any monsters is strongly discouraged, as there is a decent chance you will soft-lock yourself, or worse. Maps are all tested from pistol start, although minor consideration was made for continuous play with regards to progression through individual maps. Jumping and Crouching are disabled, but free-look is optional. However, using free-look will ruin some of the visual tricks used in maps; you've been warned! Par times reflect a rough average of UV-Max times while testing the maps. The Doom 2 Minor Sprite Fixing Project is integrated into this Project: https://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/1126249 Maps are separated into 6 distinct episodes: Step into the Fire - 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 Bringing Death in Kind - 07, 08, 09, 10, 11 Mutant Techgnawlogy - 12, 13, 14, 15 Beholding Ancient Fears - 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 On the Seared Surface - 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 Aberrant Chroma-Death - 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 Secret Maps - 31, 32, 33, 34 Secret Exits are found on MAP08, MAP15, MAP24, and MAP31. - Weapon Changes: Chainsaw - Replaced with the Impact Gauntlet, a strong and explosive melee weapon that also benefits from berserk!

Degree23 Posted October 18, 2021 I loaded this up in Zandronum, which indicated a lot of frames were missing, however I also wondered about one small detail, which was that the Black Imps seem indestructible? I loaded up some weapons and dumped 15 BFG blasts right in one's face and it still didn't die. 0 Share this post Link to post

Good to finally have some test material, though. :) 6 Share this post Link to post

JustANormie Posted October 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Lol 6 said: Sorry for being that guy, but... Hide contents Every map was tested in DSDA-Doom 0.21.3 and GZDoom 4.7.0 using hardware rendering. Other source ports that support the standard should work as intended, but haven't been tested. I just tried it in Woof! and seems to work properly Probably because Woof! now has MBF 21 support, in which right now to the extent of my knowledge only GZDoom and DSDA-Doom had. Good to know that it also works in Woof! though. 1 Share this post Link to post

kalensar Posted October 18, 2021 I cannot believe the number of nice megawads this year! Definitely giving this a whirl. 2 Share this post Link to post
Pixel Fiend Posted October 18, 2021 This wad right here. The best wad of the year! I've just beaten 3 levels in Woof and I'm absolutely stunned. it fricking rulez, the swift satisfying gameplay, custom content, atmospheric levels, everythign. Also I'm totally fine with the infatuation with The Ultimate Doom soundtrack because the overall quality of the wad elevates it a lot. 2 Share this post Link to post

The past couple years feel like a renaissance for single-player doom. I can't say the same for multi-player online play, unfortunately... 1 Share this post Link to post
Caleb13 Posted October 18, 2021 Oh man, the maps look great, but... do you think you could release version without the custom monsters later? I really despise those (and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone). 0 Share this post Link to post
Pixel Fiend Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I think a good way to convey how much atmoshere I find in those maps is that after playing I actually went and finally bought Diablo 2 to (more or less) complete my collection of games from the 90's. The cool hellish monsters with wings contributed to that too so I don't see how the person above me can despise them. One of the brilliant atmospheric moments that I found memorable was this room in map02 "Blood Mountain" where the light goes out and you get spooked by archviles. But it's the overall use of hellish, rocky textures in Judgement that gave me a tasteful impression that I also expect to find in that classic game from Blizzard. I hope to finish as many maps as I can in the following days so that I can report any potential hiccups with Woof (hopefully none).

I really despise those (and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone). It will definitely be on my list, but it likely won't happen until a final version is released. Maintaining two versions is a lot of extra work for little gain in the short term. 24 minutes ago, game said: I hope to finish as many maps as I can in the following days so that I can report any potential hiccups with Woof (hopefully none). Reveal hidden contents I'm really glad you're enjoying it so far. Honestly the early maps are the ones I was most worried about quality wise. And I must thank you for testing Woof!, I'll make sure to credit you for your efforts. 2 Share this post Link to post
