You gotta put in some more effort into your posts, like "Here's why I think X is useless/or rarely used", can't make other people generate the discussion for you.

 

I'll bite though; can't recall the last time I used CEMENT textures (but I would not say they are useless).

[Flippy685368]

oh, so what now?

I think that every texture can have its place in the hands of a true master. This is true about colors as well. There are neither wrong notes (Miles Davis) nor bad colors or textures, yet sometimes there is a lack of proper technique, imagination and dedication.

I think Wolf 3d textures are mostly useless unless you're specifically designing a secret level with SS soldiers like map 31, or doing a Wolf 3d total conversion. They're too out of place in Doom. Different artstyle.

[Sonikkumania]

Hitler textures I guess.

Nah, you done screwed up, there's nothing you can do.

Oh shit I actually forgot about them. Guess it's them then, but I did use them (I like to put pictures of Hitler that you have to punch to trigger a secret).

You already screwed up brother, you can't do anything

less "useless" and more "out of place and hard to use": i have never used WOODVERT in my life. its just very hand drawn and flat compared to the other woody textures. maybe i should make a map with extensive WOODVERT usage now

[Li'l devil]

I use WOODVERT for wooden door frames all the time

[Maximum Matt]

And everyone can just ease up on the STARTAN a bit

[Betelgeuse]

How dare you say useless, All the doom textures are great.

[OceanMadman]

None.

That's funny. You didn't realize that this website has been cataloguing our mistakes and crappy posts since 1999. Welcome to DW

WHAT??? It's perfect for 16 px wide wood stuff. Git gud man.

[Gmg]

None, I think the more textures is better.

Only problem with STARTAN is that it does not play nice with nonorthogonal or non-32px wide walls. Other than that it's good but I admit that I do not use it - it's harder to use.

I like CEMENT9

 

I feel like I've never actually seen anyone use SPCDOOR4:

How dare you disparage the cult of our beloved CEMENT9

Doom Zero uses that texture (or atleast a modified version of it) for doors that aren't openable, and I think that's a great way of using it. How many times have you been accidentally wallhumping because the map uses the same door textures for both actual doors that open and decorative "doors" to make the map feel more alive

[Craneo]

Not a "useless" texture but certainly a very underused one, I think the only instance of it being used was in Doom 1 Episode 2's map3, and it was in an area the player could not reach, with the Cacos and nukage, I am also certain that it got deleted in Doom 2 and it's DLC.

CEMENT textures are very cool IMO and I find them very useful for outdoor areas.

I like to use it for closets.  I see it as a panel or something like that, so I use it as internal wall for closets.

 

On the topic, maybe any texture of the "Wolfenstein levels" because of its (very) limited use and because the theme doesn't fit.

A lot of textures didn't make into Doom 2 and some of them are really cool like ICKDOOR1

BROWNWEL use is like a secret handshake for Ultimate Doom maps and mappers, I always love spotting it in people's maps.

[roadworx]

well, if we're talking specifically about mapping and not the inner workings of the engine, then aashitty and aastinky are literal useless textures
