That Scrolling Face-Wall Thingy

XXoXX said:

Why are they there then? I'm really curious.

Well these aren't all the appearances, but the ones I know clearly.

Ultimate Doom- E2M4
Doom 2- Teleporter in Map30

I'm sure I've used that texture in one map or more. When I used DEU, it was an ugly brownish-red texture with vertical tan stripes. I think it was 64 x 16.

I think that's AASTINKY. AASHITTY is definitely the 'pile of skulls' texture.

What the heck was that supposed to be??? I remember it kinda scared me.

This place on my map is owned to you:

There is no that kind of button on my [I don't remember that word, but I mean that what you use to write something.] Nearest button is PrtScn (I don't know it do, so I don't press it.)

According to DeePSea's texture reporter...

You fail computers. Wikipedia is your friend, etc., etc.

Anyone remember that thing near the exit in E2M4 in Doom? You know, it was like a scrolling wall texture of like faces, pretty much melted in?

according to doom lore, they are living humans "melted" together to make one singular mass. just spinning there in their eternal torment, begging for help.

Nice bump :P

anyway I always viewed them as trapped souls.

Does "lore" even exist back in 2006?

Yes if you agree to law's definition of a human being, but hey. ;)

The texture was in my nightmares for a week keep in mind I was like really young at the time

I was wondering why the discourse was so stale and then I realized this post was from 2006. What's with all the 20 hear necrobumps lately? 

On topic:

Why did OP even post this without even proposing a conversation? Wait, that's not even on topic. Uh, I used this texture in Pandora Map20

Necrobumping is cool. We're playing a (nearly) 30 year old game. To reanimate a 20+ year old thread fits kind of well into the picture, I guess :-)
(And to go even further OT: Imagine a forum, where you can respond  only  to ten+ years old posts....I know, it would not work, but I find the idea hilarious. Most likely, Douglas Adams would appreciate it.;-) )

Be honest - You went on looking for this one, right?

Because the user who bumps it makes it their destiny to do so.

The chance that this often someone unknowningly bumps such old threads is close to zero.

Either way those scrolling things are tortured souls.

Even in that scenario you will have someone say something that they could have found out by the search button. :P

I mean how did you find it. Simple question. It's over 15 years old.

Its a 15 year old thread, the poster who started the thread has been gone since 2012, so how did you stumble upon this?

Either:

• With a search (Yeah right)
• Automated process
• Just for the lulz

Probably a mix of these three.

I'm gonna create a level called NECROBMP.wad.  

And all the textures will be scrolly-face thingies

judging by their post history, i'm pretty sure that the necrobumper in question is just a young kid who doesn't know forum etiquette.

honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if they're younger than the thread itself. go easy on them, would ya?

But they don't learn from it, that's the thing.

But ill go easy.

If by that you mean Page 1 of Doom General i call that highly implausible since that shows the most recent threads. Not one from 2006. So you either searched from the last page up, or did something else to find it.

I think the scrolling face thing is pretty unique to Doom, haven't seen any other game really do that. A lot of Doom mappers back then and today still do scrolling flesh / face horror stuff as well.

The first time I saw that faces I was thinking in this:

It would be awesome to have this text in the intermission screen before the level haha:

…is that you “going easy”?

We can assume we know what happened, we surely don’t need a “confession”, can we move on ? 
 

anyways, this texture is one of my favourites, pure and simple. I would use it more often, but one of my caveats is, I quite enjoy it used sparingly - adds to the whole “trapped souls tortured for eternity” thing for me. Feels less spooky if they’re everywhere, you’d get used to it then!

Totally agree about using it sparingly: I used it in my first ever map, as I wasn't comfortable with complex geometry in mapmaking at that time, so this texture with scrolling gave some dynamism to a rather simple scene.

Ayup. You should see me when i post on HMP! :)

I haven't responded since considering OP hasn't posted since with an explanation, so not sure what there is to move on from. Far as i am concerned, that has already been done.
