Does anybody make ENDOOM screens anymore?

[Xyzzу]

I find them quite fun to make in my spare time. I'm curious if people even bother to add one to their wads, let alone even have one show up every time you exit Doom.

[Jaws In Space]

Back to Saturn X has ENDOOM screens. Also I'm making one for TNT Revilution.

[Alfonzo]

Yes they do, but to find the holiest of vanilla frills you'll need to go back as far as 1997. Does anybody make infopacks anymore? They are secretly the cherries that every megaWAD cake has been missing since.

[Doomkid]

I randomly put one in dk_dm_4 which simply says "Why bother with an endoom screen? No one reads this crap!" which is true for 99% of DM players.

[BigDickBzzrak]

I do!
I don't make stuff you could call "creative", though. Yeah, just "you've been playing X by Y, leave a comment"

[HavoX]

Ancient Aliens has one as well.

Nice! Can't wait to see the results.

The modern equivalent of infopack is the website. And indeed, I'd really like to see more megawads with their own websites! It makes them a lot more professional looking, and thus tempting to play.

There's something strangely appealing about seeing the ENDOOM screen when exiting a mod, I like to turn it on in GZDoom.

[Yuki Senmatsu]

I still make those for my wads.

Reelism has a website, but contained with the download is the closest thing I've seen to a modern infopack. It has an HTML manual, and it looks quite nice.

Does anybody make FILE_ID.DIZ files anymore?

[jerk-o]

What is the FILE_ID.DIZ file used for?

Wow, all this time I thought "DIZ" was short for DIStribution, but with a Z because it was the nineties, sorry, the ninetizz, and l33t kidz liked kool spelling back then.

Not much, except some demoscene releases, and related stuff (like new games for old computers).
But don't worry, old school BBS are going to make a comeback, now that more people are waking up to how much of a disaster the web has become. Well everything about modern computing, in fact...
If you act quick, you could be the first kid on your block to run a Doom BBS!

I ended up doing the ENDOOM for Ancient Aliens because it just kinda seemed like a fun idea. I probably wouldn't have known they were even a thing if it weren't for Eternity's displaying of ENDOOM lumps by default.

I have since uninstalled whatever software I used at the time, due to it having some weird issues with padding extra bits at the end. I don't know what most people use ENDOOM editing nowadays.

EDIT: I'll probably end up doing more if I can find software that works properly, though my art skills are sorely lacking.

That's exactly how I did made it in when push came to shove (though without the guide). I was hoping that some people would know of an editor that didn't add all the extra guff at the end. I only found out that was an issue when people testing during the beta phase noticed it didn't work in ZDoom (I test with Eternity so I didn't know, as it worked fine in there).

FYI: I just posted a thread here about my general ASCII editor, Playscii, which can now import and export ENDOOM lumps. Very different interface from PabloDraw but you may like it.

[HavoX]

Nice. I'll probably give it a whirl someday.

[Tormentor667]

Blade of Agony has one ;)

[Clonehunter]

I think I used to make them back when I mapped, but then I forgot how and never really bothered because I stopped mapping.

Nah brah, just README.TXT files.

[Agentbromsnor]

But I like the bits of flavour-text... :c

Or another alternative is ENDOOMER.Exe.

 

That's what I use 

[Gez]

There's also  Playscii now.

What, this is amazing. I had no idea this existed. Can this please be made for all wads going forward? Thank you.

Man, those were the shit. I particularly thought it was cool that MM2 had two extra maps hidden in its infopack.

Playscii is generally a super fun program to use, and you can do a lot of cool stuff with it. I use it mainly as an art tool and it's great at that, but there is essentially full game creation functionality in there. I'm pretty terrible at coding though, so I never got too far into it.

[zokum]

Sorry for necro bumping, but I just finished a new ENDOOM screen for a project. You'll hopefully be able to see it "soon" :) I spent maybe 8-10 hours on it.
