My love for Doom has been rekindled.

[BigBoy91]

I remember being a little kid in 1996 and playing Doom on my aunt's PC. I was about 5 years old at the time and had no idea how much influence this game would have. Dabbled a little bit in 2003-2004 but marijuana and jacking off to KaZaA porn quickly made me lose interest. Fill me in. I need some essentials. The bar for difficulty has been set way higher since Doom 2 and both Final Doom projects. PrBoom+ is my favorite source port! Just downloaded GZDoombuilder-Bugfix and have been reading tutorials on that too. Honestly, Brutal Doom got me back into it all, but I've moved on. Projectiles are cool and all, but we need some hitscan here and there. Still a great mod.

I hate to double post, but no Pepe inspired avatars? What predicated this? I've been here for a month and no one said anything.

the best advice i can offer you is to download Slade3, the best tool for advanced wad editing. it even has a built-in map editor, but definitely just stick to gzdb for that.

here's some other advice though that you may or may not need:

 

simple tutorial for importing custom textures:

Spoiler

in SLADE, look at the top toolbar for an option to set a base resource archive, and set it to doom2.wad (not doom 1).

then create P_START and P_END markers by creating new entries (using the top toolbar) and place all your individual desired textures (such as from the doom 1 texture pack) in between said markers.

 

next, select all your custom textures and right click them and go graphics->add to pnames. create a new import resource archive and select import from base. then reselect the textures and right click and do graphics->add to texturex. save your wad. all done c:

 

if you mess up or added the textures to pnames/texturex more than once or whatever, it's easiest and safest to just delete the PNAMES/TEXTUREx lumps and make them again.

 

list of music lump names for each map in Doom 2/Final Doom for when you want to import custom music:

Spoiler

simply add your desired music to the wad in SLADE and rename to one of the following:

 

title - D_DM2TTL
intermission - D_DM2INT
endgame - D_READ_M

 

map01 - D_RUNNIN
map02 - D_STALKS
map03 - D_COUNTD
map04 - D_BETWEE
map05 - D_DOOM
map06 - D_THE_DA
map07 - D_SHAWN
map08 - D_DDTBLU
map09 - D_IN_CIT
map10 - D_DEAD
map11 - D_STLKS2
map12 - D_THEDA2
map13 - D_DOOM2
map14 - D_DDTBL2
map15 - D_RUNNI2
map16 - D_DEAD2
map17 - D_STLKS3
map18 - D_ROMERO
map19 - D_SHAWN2
map20 - D_MESSAG
map21 - D_COUNT2
map22 - D_DDTBL3
map23 - D_AMPIE
map24 - D_THEDA3
map25 - D_ADRIAN
map26 - D_MESSG2
map27 - D_ROMER2
map28 - D_TENSE
map29 - D_SHAWN3
map30 - D_OPENIN
map31 - D_EVIL
map32 - D_ULTIMA

 

and here's even a very simple dehacked tutorial to introduce you to some of the basics that i made as a response to a thread back in 2017 (i make multiple posts in that thread):

i may add more things here or double post or whatever, but if you have any questions i can feebly attempt to answer them, especially if they relate to dehacked or things like replacing sounds and sprites and whatnot

Quite honestly you're not gonna find much in the way of love for pro-Trump stuff on this board. Admin team and the majority of the general population doesn't like it. Stick to Doom conversation and you're fine. Drop the edgy meme avatar and have sincere, non-trolly fun.

 

Want good singleplayer stuff to play? Go back through past Cacowards. You can always try your hand at speedrunning to if you think you're getting good.

 

If you want deathmatch, pick up Zandronum or maybe ZDaemon. Competitive CTF leagues are a thing.

 

Community projects live in the Wads and Mods section if you want to put your mapping chops to the test or get feedback.

Whoops.

On a slightly off-topic note, I do admire your replacement avatar. Looks wealthy to me, perhaps even a million dollars... or maybe that's a bit extreme.

I was feelin' a bit kooky when I picked this avatar.... A little wacky. I had a little suga in me.

Getting SLADE3 right now.
