well damn. i used to think it was a weird but okay name, but now i think it's kinda terrible lmao

ye, ofc. it provides important info about the complevel, number of maps, difficulty implementation, etc. not to mention that it provides a lot of good info as to what you'll be getting into

iirc ling disabled formatting (which i do remember being available for everyone back before the software update) because people would sometimes abuse it for shits and giggles. i do think that nowadays that'd be less of an issue, however. while i do miss parts of doomworld's old forum culture, things like that....yeahhh no :p

that's actually a really great idea; in addition to what you mentioned, doing that could also open a lot of opportunities regarding how it's used, because then the player would have much more of a time limit than they do with how it currently is. it could make certain encounters much more exciting and tense :)

to preface this, i have absolutely nothing against people who use saves, or even people who save every other picosecond. HOWEVER, i'm getting really sick and tired of them coming in and shitting up the forums by asking if doing it is okay or not. i wholeheartedly believe we should preemptively launch all of them into the sun in order to prevent them from doing it in the first place. who's with me??? i'm on the fence as to whether or not we should also be doing it to hmp players, because they similarly won't stop asking if it's okay to play on that difficulty. should they be included? we'd have to buy more cannons, and our money is already running a bit thin as is due to budget cuts...i'm not an accountant, could someone who's good with numbers do the crunching and determine if it's within our range? if not, then maybe we can start a gofundme to help raise money. i'm sure some kindhearted souls out there would be willing to pitch in a few bucks to help us shoot annoying people into space.

don't worry, i've already arranged myself to be shot into the sun once we take care of the save scummers first

you'd need something much more powerful than a simple cannon for that, i'm afraid. a particle accelerator might do the trick

yeah, because rewinders aren't the ones who make all the threads ya big dummy the cannon emporium has a sale going on rn, it's buy two get one free. that's a deal that can't be passed up, sorry

get in the cannon

holy shit i forgot how forced and cringy this was, someone put me out of my misery

that may make it more forgettable, but i still would've enjoyed it more than the slog we got!

ah, shit. poor guy. 27 is one of my favorite maps in tnt...

mapping for it would become significantly less versatile due to the lack of a good close-range, mid-tier weapon. that ties together the entire gameplay loop

what a corny way to say "shut the hell up and work together already" i do agree with it regardless. instead of sitting here debating over ideals, you guys need to focus on telling the devs how they should rework the spec, what stuff to add, what to cut, what boundaries need to be in place, how to separate corporate from community, etc. id24 is here, we can't travel back in time and stop it from being developed, we need to figure out how to go forward from here and how to reach some sort of compromise instead of endlessly bickering.

yeah, it's just....really bad. none of the people who worked on either the new port or id24 have any malicious intentions. they've tried time and time again to make that clear, but a lot of people seemingly don't want to listen or even work with them to reach some sort of compromise. a lot of people have valid concerns, but for every post like that, there's five others that read as though they see everyone who worked on it as being pure evil. (see: gpl launderer) some of you need to step back and realize that you're talking to other humans and not corporate ai's. you can reach an agreement with them, but you need to stop seeing them as an enemy.

because the tools and source ports are still made by the community. if id decides to fuck around and add some more dumb shit, then they're not gonna get any content for it because nobody wants to be associated with it. it'd be a waste of money and development time, because they rely on the community to make content. i trust that boris will refuse to add udb support for whatever that may be; contrarian dipshits likely aren't gonna be smart enough to know how to fork it and add it themselves. it's fine. their hands are tied when it comes to getting new wads, so i feel like anything bad they may do won't end very well.

that is literally the same codebase that kex doom uses, it's just not wrapped in kex is all. afaik most if not all the id24 features are derived from features in that source port (the devs can correct me if i'm wrong on that)

have you considered that maybe the only actual problem is that you're playing on uv-fast

...yeah, no, this just looks silly. it's impressive and all, but i gotta concur with chezza in that the maps would have to be tailor-made for raytracing. also, idk how well voxel doom works with it either lol

did we ever get an explanation as to why this is? you'd think that the people responsible for moderation would actually understand how a doom wad works and what would actually be best for the mods section giving the community; is there a way to get in touch with them to at least try to figure something out? iirc someone suggested having a central community-run account to handle uploading stuff, would they be willing to let that happen to allow more finely tuned moderation?

sitting around going oh we can't criticize them because so-and-so did this and that is fuckin stupid. gee, maybe two things can be bad at once! it's extremely difficult to see the implementation of the wad uploader as anything other than a poorly thought out mess due to its rampant plagiarism, and with it currently being reliant on community reports alone, that's likely to be followed by terry wads, porn, and gore. it needs to be changed, not only because it's the right thing to do (plagiarism is bad, who knew), but people would prefer not to be exposed to a bunch of extremely nsfw shit because the official mod browser lets tons of it slip through the cracks. there's plenty of reasons to criticize it, and attempting to shut them down with goofy-ass arguments like that isn't gonna help anyone on either side of the aisle. the people working on moderation duties need to know what the community would be okay with so they can take appropriate action.

maybe because uploading three different versions of your mod is stupid and they got deleted? at least, i hope that's the case

gee i wonder what people on a forum dedicated to classic doom would think

ayyy, congrats on the release!!! :D

where will you be seated? most of us classic doomers are in the w or x columns
