But lost souls on other hand are blocked by everything, even passable decorations. Most decorations have a very short hitbox (apart from the naked hanging corpses from Doom2 which block all projectiles) and those short hitboxes actually block the projectiles. Lost souls are blocked by any 'thing', even ammo and health. 0 Share this post Link to post

Deleted_Account Posted October 3, 2016 Moments ago I was playing Geryon on The PSX Final Doom TC and I gibbed a zombieman with a single shotgun blast. Needless to say I laughed out so loud, I think I startled the neighbors. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted October 3, 2016 Today I discovered just how effective GZDoom Builder's Sidedef compression is. It took my map of 72,000 sidedefs down to just 31,000! I was worried it would only be a few % of compression, I guess I needn't have been concerned! 0 Share this post Link to post

Bauul Posted October 5, 2016 damerell said:Huh. I sit corrected. Exactly this. My map is bouncing along the absolute limits of the vanilla Doom map format. It needs to be run in a limit removing source port, compiled using a NodeBuilder that supports Extended Nodes, and GZDoom Builder to compress the Sidedefs to just about squeeze it into something that'll run. I'm very relieved it turns out that the latter compression is pretty damn amazing! 0 Share this post Link to post
kb1 Posted October 5, 2016 As long as you have sidedefs that are exactly the same, all but one can be removed. The others are all made to reference that one remaining sidedef. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted October 6, 2016 Most decorations like lamps and trees allow projectiles to pass through, but if you shoot from a floor 16 units lower, it will actually collide. Does this mean that if I changed all decor to its proper height in dehacked (roughly 56 units for most) that the projectiles will explode on contact even in vanilla? (I discovered this in a DM a few months ago where shooting a flaming barrel with the BFG was racking up loads of presumably unintended frags.. It was that half circle Dwango 5 map with the Last MIDI by NIN. That map was always a BFG spam fest, but after finding this it's become even spammier!) 0 Share this post Link to post
illYay1337 Posted October 6, 2016 I can proudly say I just finished reading this entire thread over the last 3 weeks or so. Back on topic. I'd always hide behind decorations when fighting some monsters and just use hitscan weapons like the supershotgun. Makes it hilariously easy to kill a cyberdemon out in the open on some maps. But wait are you saying the monster projectiles shouldn't be blocked? I mostly play with zdoom nowadays. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted October 6, 2016 Yea, the projectiles would hit/explode on the decorations. Blocking hitscan would require them to be damageable.. maybe if they have some really high amount of health, they'd probably survive... 0 Share this post Link to post
illYay1337 Posted October 6, 2016 Brutal DooM has destroyable trees and such which actually make this harder. I can't help but like Brutal DooM nowadays. It has all the things I like from modern FPSes while keeping DooM itself intact. I occasionally replay random maps with it on. Another fun thing is to generate levels with OBLIGE and play with Brutal DooM on since it doesn't ruin the experience due to it not interfering with other mods. And then play it like a Roguelike with permadeath. If I die I start all over. Makes for some very tense moments. Playing that way without Brutal DooM is a cakewalk since I'm too good if I do say so myself. I could even use my programming skills some time to create something that combines Oblige with any Zdoom to create a roguelike experience of some sort. 0 Share this post Link to post

lil'devil Posted October 10, 2016 Just realised that lost soul's thing size is 32x56, same as player's. Why couldn't the devs give it smaller, more appropriate size? The problem is that you can't put it in a small alcove (with 32x32x32 size, for example) without it getting stuck. :( 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted October 10, 2016 There's a big difference between "I feel this sounds similar to that" and "this is definitely copied from that". Without any proof that Bobby Prince even listened to anything from Holocaust, it's hard to claim "The Small Hours" was a definite inspiration. As the article I have linked shows, there are a number of albums which are definite inspirations, and a few that are considered very likely because the resemblance goes much beyond "the intro riff kinda sounds the same, sorta". And a riff that's only two notes is definitely too trivial to need inspiration. It's not even the same notes or tempo, "The Small Hours" is slower and more dissonant... Maes' find is closer on the money for similarity, and it's even less likely to have been an actual inspiration. 0 Share this post Link to post
