    My DM levels used to look good like yours, then I took a waterfall texture in every line. The story is I added a waterfall texture to my WAD for a water temple level, and here's how one of the other levels looks in ZDaemon.

    Skulltag screen:


    Zdaemon:


    Anybody know how to fix this? The WAD is for vanilla Doom and is intended to be playable on every source port with networking capabilities.

    Well, there's already at least one board member with a Doom tattoo...so I guess for one to be really rad he'd have to go at least with branding.


    I carved the Doom logo into my arm with a rusty fillet knife.

    -I hate, HATE, any Doom that is not Doom or Doom II.

    -Most pwads make me writhe in agony.

    -I generally do not like pwads with custom sprites or textures... Extremely hypocritical, I know.

    -I don't like the super shotgun... even though I use it more than any other weapon.

    -I never use the plasma rifle unless i'm forced into it... even though I love it.

    -One time, I thought Dungeon Master 2 was a better game than Doom... and sometimes I still do. *Flinches in anticipation of incoming blow*


    I probably play Puyo Puyo or Halo more than Doom these days.

    Check the monsters' thing flags. They might not be set to appear on the current difficulty level or game mode.

    Also, if someone is just learning how to map, I'd recommend making a few things in Doom mode first. Hexen format is a lot more complicated, and will make things trickier and steepen the learning curve a bit more than necessary, IMO.


    I actually don't find Hexen format that hard to work with, I'll help her if she needs it.

    Btw, she's testing in singleplayer I believe.

    This. When health itself is a resource to deal with, it can, at times force you to play the game in ways that you never would have otherwise. If you constantly have full health and armor, you can always go in guns a blazing, but if not, you may have to rely on unique strategies on the fly. Whether that's trying to pull enemies out of a door one by one or whatever. But when dying isn't a concern, why bother?


    Being faster at the game and memorizing different maps often eliminates the need for elaborate strategies.

    You know I used to be pretty much the most introverted person ever. Really, really, introverted. Like didn't know what to do when people genuinely came up to you and said hi. I got over it. And I think most people can. A lot of shyness involves caring about what other people think of you, and when you let go of that, everything becomes easy. I mean, sure you come out looking like an asshole sometimes, but still, it works out.

    I don't think though that shyness is the biggest factor here. Part of it is gaining self confidence in yourself (when you have it, it shows), and another part is being in an environment that promotes who you are, and I realize in a world of economic crisis and etc its sometimes hard to put yourself in the position you want to be in, but life isn't fair. So slap it like a bitch, and get shit done.


    That would be rather difficult for me, since I cannot normally bring myself to let go of my cautiousness.

    Yay conspiracies! I hate how anyone can think the World Trade Center was purposely blown up in a demolition. It makes me wonder. Do the people who made the conspiracy videos really believe it? Are other people stupid enough to believe them? Apparently. But there's idiots everywhere. No surprises here.


    You just won the internet!

    Seriously, I wonder how much better the internet would be if nobody was spewing out "THE GOVERNMENT DID 9/11!!!!!1!!!!one" or "TEH MOON LANDING WAS FAKE!!!!!!11@!@#@$!" whilst disregarding all dissenting views, complaints, and logic. Not only would it make the internet kill my brain a lot less than it already does, but we all can focus on real issues, like World War III or the New World Order.

    Besides, this kind of shit doesn't belong on gaming forums anyway, it only causes fights.

    I don't even think our government is evil or tyrannical in any way, they're just ignorant and spineless. I believe that the real evil is certain corporations that are largely unregulated by the government, and as such are allowed to try and take over our lives. There's various political groups that work at preventing our lives from being owned by the corporations, and they seem to be doing well at their jobs. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the internet as a platform for free speech since it would be taken over by corporate media, and a SWAT team would break into your home if you even let your friend borrow a game or CD you own. I know some of this is kinda in place, but activists are working on changing all that to make sure that our lives aren't controlled by corporate media.

    Well, I tried QJoyPad in ZDoom and the analog output is way too fast to be effective (I'll inch the mouse stick to the right and I'm looking at the floor and spinning really fast). I'll probably eperiment with different gradient modes in it to see what I can come up with that'll be ideal for looking/turning.
    Well, I just tried it in OpenArena and when I moved the stick I bound my mouse to, it just went right/down really fast, I'll try it with my generic pad.
    It would appear as though mouse left/up is broken in full-screen applications.

    And if bot support in ZDoom is dead, I could just use Skulltag when I have access to the Skulltag wiki again so I can download off the terminal.

    1) Cannot get ZCajun working. I have a zcajun directory in my ZDoom folder, but it's not picking up. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or at least a better bot engine compatible with ZDoom?

    2) ZDoom will not read any game controllers. I want to use my old second model XBox controller, which I converted to USB a while ago and recently installed xjoy for it. It works in ZSNES just fine though, and Contra 3 is awesome with it. I also tried my Logitech Dual-Action, which I know is a generic USB gamepad with nothing special needed, and ZDoom didn't pick that up.

    I already know both problems can be solved by using Skulltag instead of ZDoom, but I would like to fix the problems within ZDoom rather than using another port.

    I setup aliases for my ports in my ~/.bashrc

    alias doom='~/doom/prboom-plus -iwad ~/doom/doom.wad'
alias doom2='~/doom/prboom-plus -iwad ~/doom/doom2.wad'
alias doomu='~/doom/prboom-plus -iwad ~/doom/doomu.wad'
alias plutonia='~/doom/prboom-plus -iwad ~/doom/plutonia.wad'
alias tnt='~/doom/prboom-plus -iwad ~/doom/tnt.wad'
    (this was very helpful for the last Skulltag version I played which required a library linked before it would start)

    When I want to play a newly-downloaded map I just quick-launch my terminal (bound to Alt+F1) and
    cd ~/Desktop
doom2 -file map.wad -warp 1
    Keep in mind you can use tab completion in bash. There's no need to type the full name, just a few characters and hit tab. It will stop at identical filenames (eg: map. if the files map.wad and map.txt are present, making you type either w or t to continue tab completion) you can also hit double tab which lists all possible options for you to choose from. This works for anything (eg: apt-get package names) not just filenames.

    If you have something you're playing long-term and/or don't want to clutter up your desktop then feel free to make a folder somewhere so you can go
    cd ~/doom
skulltag -file uacultra.wad
    and you're away.

    As Edward said, keep in mind Linux is case-sensitive, so MAP.WAD, map.wad, Map.Wad and MaP.wAd are all different files.

    Nobody's really put the time into a good graphical launcher for Linux, so there's no equivalent as good as say, ZDL 3.1a. Personally I prefer a Bash terminal for this anyway.

    Jodwin's CDL does run under Linux if you have the right Mono libraries installed (run it in a terminal window and Google the error you get, you'll find what library to install). It launches PrB+ with PWADs just fine though it looks a bit messy due to the differences in Windows C# (which it was written for) and Linux Mono. I've never tried it with Skulltag.


    I guess I'll try your setup, but I'll also alias some of my favorite MegaWADs and TCs for easy access via terminal.

    I have a fuckton of PWADS, and I recently retrieved all my stuff off my computer and installed Xubuntu 9.10 for use as a main OS. I started installing software, including VLC media player, Skulltag, and Doomseeker. Skulltag ran great on it. I recently tried loading a couple WADS, but I couldn't find the binary for Skulltag. The next logical thing was to use BASH, and using the only two logical ways of loading my WADS I knew of, I came up short-handed. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. I may try to modify that Chocolate Doom frontend I found here while lurking and see that I can get some results from it, but any help is welcome.
