Texture Pack 🟧 Hamtex - Vanilla-compatible Dev textures for Doom II ⬜

[Matakrow]

These textures bring the classic look of Hammer Editor blockouts back into 1994!
In addition to good looks, Hamtex is built from the ground up to assist in various aspects of map development.

All organized in map editors!

PS: I’ve also made some Hamtex texture replacements for the internal Doom builder textures.
Just in case Hamtex blends with MissingTexture3D too much for you.
Personally I think these look much better than the defaults.

I like the idea!

[Matakrow]

Thanks!

[HorseJockey]

This is very helpful, I have a pack of textures I made that is similar to this but you have thought of use cases I did not. Good stuff.

[Human Being]

I'm not a mapper, but this is very cool lookin stuff. Thumbs-up!

[Shepardus]

I've wondered before whether there was a texture pack like this. Hamtex community project when?

[OpenRift]

Gives me TF2 Orange_X vibe, I love it!

 

EDIT: Oh wait, that was the point my bad lmao

Hell yeah! Orange textures for my GoldSrc/Source-Engine pleasure!

Those lumps look really good!

Remember GoldSrc?

Finally, a texture set to save us from the tyranny of STARTAN2/FLOOR0_1/CEIL1_1!

[Breezeep]

This scratches my Source engine itch.

[DrinkyBird]

I love Doom and Source engine games so I find this absolutely wonderful.

[Ludi]

 

I use this set all the time, highly recommended. I'll combine what's here with Hamtex. Cool set!

Nice, I do love how Hammer's dev textures look, much more pleasant to look than the ol STARTAN2 over there

I hate that STARTAN2 being the default has made me hate that texture with a passion.

[Biodegradable]

I don't know what it is about dev textures, but I find them fun so having yet another set for mappers to have fun with is cool in my book. Nicely done, Mata!

I believe textures like DEVA1 and DEVA2 would cause tutti fruttis in vanilla doom because they are not 128 units tall. It would fix it if you simply tiled them so that they are 128 units tall, you can even do this via patches in texturex.

They're tiled. UDB was just reading from Zdoom's TEXTURES lump instead of TEXTUREx. Updated images in thread.

I've just updated Hamtex to do that a couple hours ago, but Chocolate Doom crashes when they're loaded as midtextures.
So I've had to go back just now and fix some textures to only use 1 patch.

Typo

[Qeswic]

Doesn't seem right seeing those textures without hearing micspam and the sounds of a sentry nest.

 

But still, great stuff.

[Sneezy McGlassFace]

These look really fun! There's something magical about prototype textures.

Hamtex CP, anyone?

[Cilian]

This breaks doom 1 if added as a resource along with the IWAD in UDB but I can workaround it by checking "exlude this resource from testing parameters", going to f6 > testing > customize parameters and adding hamtex to the -file parameter after my map's wad. I wish I didn't have to do that, it doesn't happen with cc4-tex so is that something fixable? Thanks in advance

Yeah it's only for Doom 2.

Here's an Doom 1 version I slapped together for you. It's not really polished and the switches are jank but it works without crashes.

damn this looks better then the one I posted on moddb back in January based on the couple you posted last year

 -Added NOISETRK, a doortrak equivalent to the texture pack.

[Nikku4211]

Wow, this'll go good for anybody trying to make a Doomguy Parable.

[xman8245]

I love this.

[Matakrow]

-Revamped Blood liquid flat
 -It's now consistent with the other liquid textures.

-Added Text5, a text texture handling more special characters.


-Added 3 new grid colors, yellow, white and black.
Expect more tones from the playpal to be added for future updates.




Lastly, I've released a new theme for the project, Destex.

I'm curious as to the point of the Clip/Portal/Trigger textures? Those are features in Quake-based engines, it doesn't really make sense to include them in a support texture .WAD for Doom editors.

That's for a community project that purposely uses these textures as part of its aesthetic. The main point of this .WAD is to be used as placeholder/guide textures, right? Or am I misunderstanding the purpose of it?

I think you are misunderstanding the purpose.
