  1. yeah so, apparently I am not destined to be a cable guy as I was fired today after just one lousy month - without any warning whatsoever

      Thanks, I really hope so. I am searching for position within my field (software development, IT support, teaching) this time... Atleast for now.

  2. Hm, what if he did it in multiple passes? wouldnt that help to preserve details?
  3. I think I remember being part of a CP like that at some point or atleast a project where a mapper would ask people to draw in a square in an mspaint picture and then map that... I drew my summerhouse in the square I was assigned.
  4. could someone find a way to use the yellow key? walter? or is the switch that should lower the blue key pillar made to require the yellow key?
  5. he could use filters to simplify the models before importing them to get the polycount down
  6. not sure why the patch things are needed, but the only situation where you need the textures file is when you need the things to be placeable in the doom editor you should be able to summon them ingame without the textures file examples: textures text with dummy sprites and dummy patch for use with 3d models where you dont need the actual sprites... then you can re-use MOD1-n for all your models again and again... this is a trick I learned by studying genetech sprite MOD1A0, 64, 64 { Offset 32, 64 XScale 4.0 YScale 4.0 patch MODPATCH, 0, 0 {} } sprite MOD1B0, 64, 64 { Offset 32, 64 XScale 4.0 YScale 4.0 patch MODPATCH, 0, 0 {} } sprite MOD1C0, 64, 64 { Offset 32, 64 XScale 4.0 YScale 4.0 patch MODPATCH, 0, 0 {} } the no frames thing also confuses me a little... but in general it behaves like this... modeldef -> you can summon the model in-game either by script or console modeldef+textures -> you can summon the model in-game either by script or console AND place it when editing a level (of its also assigned a thing ID and all that in decorate or zscript)
  7. true however, people seem to like the ones you already (re-)made and making levels that are remixes are fun Also there are CPs that remade the entirety of doom 1 and people seemed to like it, same with doom 2 IIRC I once did a E1M1 remake that had bits of Doom E1M1, Doom 2 MAP01, FreeDOOM E1M1 and FreeDOOM MAP01... It was really fun (I just copy-pasted parts of the actual levels together and made it work as a single level)... But that idea would also work in a reimagined edition, where each bit is remade instead and I think it would work for 32 levels
  8. it could be cool to do a megawad that is just a remake of doom 1 and/or doom 2 the levels look very cool
  9. you need to write a modeldefinition aka modeldef you can use skin or surfaceskin usually if it is simple and its one model with one skin then I use skin otherwise a model with multiple objects then I use surfaceskin to assign the right skin to each object in the model then you have to know the frame numbers for each animation and create dummy sprites for each frame you need for your decorate or zscript model definition
  10. I have been deeply depressed my whole life so far. But it got really bad after I lost my father in 2018. Then it got even worse still when I lost my job in 2019.
  11. Wow, they are so cool! If you create all the animations they need and save them as MD3 files then I can show you how to import them in to GZDoom as 3D monsters! I have a lot of 3D monsters myself, but I have yet to make animations for them, so they are just static models for now. However, I have imported tons of already made MD3 models as monsters, for example in my After Dawn WIP project.
  12. WOW! Thats some seriously impressive screenshots! I hope that I too one day, is able to create levels that looks as jaw dropping as this!
  13. This will definetly go down in history as the longest running CP ever :-)
  14. I must say, I enjoy hearing peoples views on this. As for bad circles when it comes to bad karma giving a bad life cycle, then I think the challenge is to break the bad cycles. I have already broken more than one bad cycle in my life, that I would otherwise normally be in when looking at my life, all the way from childhood. So I think my next life will already be better than my current life. However, one has to complete the current game of life, before the next game can begin.
  15. had the same issue but it was fixed very quickly
  16. I find it hilarious! :-) also more OT: I want to mention angry quilt 2 (its even better than the first one)
  17. I agree. I just wish everybody knew by intuition how bad social networks like Facebook, Twitter et.al. are. Then they wouldnt have survived for long. Its the same with those questionable credit companies. I sometimes fear the average intelligence of humans is way too low for our own good in the long run (too many falling for scams, sweettalkers etc).
  18. Just read his post and sorry, I didn't think to check if he had already posted (I assumed he hadn't based on the other answers on page 2). Given the situation then I guess the OPs best course of action is what he has already done so far, ie. cancelling the project for now as he also recommended. I agree and I concur all things considered. However, I also agree with others that he should try doing a CP that is smaller in scale and gain experience from that (like I am doing with booked).
  19. LOL, except when we are playing DOOM 2 ? :-) but in all seriousness.. I do not think there is an actual hell and that our life on earth serves that purpose.. ie. if you have lived a bad life in a previous life then you get punished in the next life. And equally, if you lived a good life then you might be rewarded in the next life. So each life could be anywhere between heaven and hell. Well you have a point, maybe its more like purgatory... atleast for some of us.
  20. however, he needs to try and run a CP before he can get experience with CPs... I have no experience with CPs, yet I am running the Booked CP.. to gain experience... granted, I have the help and support of David.. but still
  21. well that could be said for any evil person in the world and used as an excuse to justify their actions and yes, I view certain celebs as being evil, like zuckerberg, steve jobs, jeff bezos et.al. - just in a different way than hitler, stalin et.al. were evil
  22. Interesting take and good advice. But not easy :-D In many cases, yes :-) Well I agree and I will never stop fighting. Pretty interesting and I have great respect for Victor, that he is able to share that insigt with the world compared to what he has been through.
  23. one would assume that management is doing what their lord and master, the great mark suckerperv is demanding of them...
