This is not a new release by far, but I thought why not post about it on a board after all. Every time someone mentions replacing hitscanners with projectile throwing monsters I have this knee jerk post reaction of mentioning this LUDICR~1.WAD in response.
(PS and if you loath moddb, this is on idgames as well)

VideoCapture_20220201-221224.jpg

So, the premise is simple: no more identical looking former humans, brownish imps and pink, erm, pinkies. Demons lowest ranks are now, well, more daemonic looking with Realm 667 asstets put to use to achieve this.
And ther's no more of endless pump gun shuffle in Doom 1.
And grunts now have slimeball projectile attack, same as imps, but with slightly faster missiles than original imps used to have.
And Doomguy wears gloves all the time... and kicks butt (courtesy of the Innocent Crew)
And there's a boss brain that doesn't break the fourth wall as much (unless one has been trained to hear backwards).
And Doom II secret levels reference pre-release Doom rather than Wolf3D.
And poor fellow Keen is not there anymore, but you can blast 3 Romero's heads at once instead.
And you can do this to the a nice tune by Bobby Prince to add insult to injury.
And... by that time I though I had enoigh of wacking at the annoyances of Doom and Doom II, so thus the WAD was done.

Personally I mostly used this with DoomRetro (for which this has string replacement godies built in, green blood where appropriate and such) and with Doom 1, but it also works with vanilla/DeHackEd, only one needs to pull DEH patch from the WAD and use deusf first. For some reason Choco gets confused with the WAD, so it needs deusf first as well (!) and also -dehlump.

Sounds are not changing, so you will still hear them coming. There are no new maps, nor new enemies.

Sup. I made a small mod for MBF21 that makes hitscan monsters fire Projectile-Based bullets. As a learning project for Decohack.

Modules are basically MIDIs, but with their own samples bundled in, meaning they are often less than a megabyte in size and don't bloat your wad's file size.
They have been used for games such as Unreal, Deus Ex, and Jazz Jackrabbit, and can easily fit into Doom.
They only work in DSDA-Doom, ZDoom source ports, and Edge-classic however, so if you're looking to make maps for vanilla, Crispy, or some obscure port, the music will not work.

There is a useful site called The Mod Archive with its huge library, and a handy online music player for instant listening.

Don't know where to start? Here are some suggestions:

Scroll down in the home page to see the newest modules, favorited modules and some randomized picks.

Not satisfied with the results? Here are some personal recommendations :
Marcin Gackowski | Elwood | Dr. Awesome | Xaser | Robyn | Lizardking | Jogeir Liljedahl | zabutom

My favorites are gibbing groups of imps with rockets, and telefragging cyberdemons.

My new wad contains 11 new maps and lots of weapons and monsters its a action wad.

Its also for multiplayer too but i have not tested the new version yet.

current version is version 3.

New info:
this wad is really tough so play on your own risk note:
not many people may enjoy this wad its finished newer versions are cancelled unless if someone could help me out with it in discord dms

i wil be honest if you think its too hard cheat if necessary i want everyone to have a good experience with this hope you enjoy the wad!

screenshots are in the moddb post
this is for Zandronum With the Skulltag Content file which can be downloaded here.

Skulltag Content

HellWorld Land of Assault Version 3

its also the load order in the links use whatever doom launcher you want this requires Zandronum 3.1 latest version.

the world needs to know!

For me it's if the screenshots have a slick, detailed design with good attention to detail and lighting, especially with almost purely stock textures, I just can't get enough of these textures, they're like old friends I've known for years, and keep coming back for them because they feel me with intense nostalgia that can still surprise you, depending on how they can be used for many new tricks and interpretations, such as the burnt toast in DBP37 MAP02. Bonus points if it's vanilla DOOM2.EXE compatible, these are always impressive feats, feels like these demoscenes back in the 90's that could do some impressive stuff at the time, I personally wasn't really there to experience demoscene, but if I was; I think this is how it would feel like.
If it requires chex.wad or heretic.wad, with Chex I can be guaranteed a quick and easy experience, and with Heretic you can get very creative with the inventory system.
Themes such as city, and interesting ones like in DBPs can also pull me in.

I generally don't care for any technical limitations unless I design them.
OTEX is ok, but feels too sterile and clean for me, I much prefer the roughness of the stock textures, as well as for mapping OTEX is just too cluttered and overwhelming when I want to choose a texture.
ZDoom requirements deter me from downloading wads too, because wads that require it usually aren't fun to play, I'm guessing it's trauma from playing KDIZD, ZPACK, Community Is Falling 3, and DTS-T (The Adventures Of Square is awesome though), which are completely unbalanced and/or confusing, and/or plain boring to play, but I don't mind Zandronum however, because it has much more fun exclusive wads/PKs that I've played since Skulltag days were over (I WAS THERE!!), such as Zombie Horde, Deathrun, Complex Doom, Barracks Zone, Jumpmaze, Jumpix and StupidLMS.

There are a lot of Doom mods that replace monsters - "clean" monsterpacks and combined mods as well. (like complex doom, pandemonia etc) But also there is lack of monsterpacks with human enemies. Most of them are just funny controversal ones with almost vanilla gameplay or a bunch of hitscan enemies where is the only working strategy for player - look out from the corner three hundred times. As for monsters' behaviour - they are just zombies with washed faces and clean clothes.

I wanted to make something unusual and interesting there so let me present you - Hell from Earth (HFE) - monsterpack compatible with almost every weapon mod (and some gameplay ones too - watch the trailer for more information).

You will encounter there with different "cream of society" - from street gangs and drunken wretches to corrupted military organisations and abstract futuristic baddies.

Now let us talk about some mod's features:

All atacks are projectiles. No more annoying hitscan! Run, jump, roll, fly, swinging legs left and right - with enough skill and a bit of luck you'll capable to dodge any incoming attacks.

Most of the enemies have different attack, but usually not with different projectiles, but different patterns,depending on the different factors or choosing randomly.

Also there are changes in enemies' behaviour. Knowing that "realistic" gameplay against humans will be almost all camping with rare corner-picks and "fire in the hole" from time to time, I'm trying to make something special. Make something balanced between realism and player's behaviour in deathmatches, but not like famous complex addons with "legendaries" strafing at the speed of light. Did I make it? This will be your decide, dear players.

And because your enemies aren't some demons now, these baddies will try to damage you morally at first, so watch your ears!:)

Despite this is already version 1.0 - there will be a lot of updates cause there are still a lot of unreleased features that still exists only in design documents)

Recommended weapon mods:

High Noon Drifter

Guncaster

PainSlayer

Protocol Disposable

Hard boiled Spetznaz

Doom Roguelike Arsenal

The False Angel

MeatGrinder

Kriegsland Weapons

Samsara & Samsara Extra classes

I hope that screenshots aren't necessary because there is entire video showcase, right?

If you are fond of hard challenges, please try this little WAD i put toghether, you'll be treated by small to medium sized maps here, short'n'sweet, in a way.

I've been working on this megawad for the past 3 years, here are the first 10 levels.
Some screenshots:

This WAD is boom compatible (complevel 9).
Required resources are bundeled with the file itself.

There are more maps I want to make that wouldn't have a home except here in Amorphous Euphoria space and that's why a sequel is on the table. CUSTOM TEXTURES ALLOWED!!

This thread is to collect requests for custom assets and the like. Besides some of my favorites like lush green hedges and shiny techbase trims, it'd be nice to have some big floating spheres to lean in more towards vaporwave/vintage CGI aesthetics 😄

As things currently stand this thread will likely hold for a year. Share textures and concepts you'd like to see in a sequel. Resources will still be curated by me though of course. If you want your map to have a dancing cat gif and a photo of your dinner surrounded by checkerboards and flowers then by all means you can!

Notes about Heretic and how Heretic things work!
This probably isn't everyone but I'll give credit to Not Jabba, Gez, and ETTiNGRiNDER for their posts on Heretic threads. Thank you to all the Heretic gamers whose notes I've copied down to help put this together! Ahem..

1. Heretic The Way Raven Did

2. Heretic Gameplay

3. Heretic Artifacts (inventory items)

-Morph Ovum: Good for crowd control when overwhelmed. Does not work against Iron Liches, Maulotaurs, D'Sparil, and his Chaos Serpent. The health of a chicken always becomes the same so it's better used on uninjured enemies lest you waste damage. An early weapon of the game.

-Shadowsphere: Cannot be hit by undead warrior axes, iron lich tornados cannot target you and iron lich ice balls (before it splinters) cannot hit you.

-Mystic Urn & Quartz Flask: reinforces reliance on inventory management to survive! If you want to tank a lot of damage then you'll have to stock up on these.

-Time Bomb of The Ancients: you can make a bomb wherever you are! Defend chokepoints or simply plant an explosive amidst a crowd and watch the show. An early weapon of the game.

-Tome of Power: If you've played Heretic you already know how much it rules! For 40 seconds all of your attacks are much more devastating.

-Ring of Invulnerability: Very strong and the power to be lazy whenever you want. Glorified radiation suit? For 30 seconds you are invulnerable to all damage. Feel free to drop all the bombs and get in all the monster faces as you please.

-Torch: Brightens the map, but flickers! Use before entering a foreboding darkness.

-Chaos Device: Lets you teleport back to the start of the map whenever you wish. You can escape inescapable death pits, and have shortcut back to the start. Don't let your maps be broken by it!

-Wings of Wrath: Grants you the ability to fly! Reach the next highest floor from down below and the next lowest ceiling from up above. Reach secret areas that would be unaccessible otherwise, scale tall towers, or simply have an alternative way of reaching areas!

4. Heretic Ghosts

5. More Uniquely Heretic

Other notes:

Post wads you like, and say something about them.

URBAN SIDE by NoC0ncentrate51
5 Boom compatible maps

preview of URBAN SIDE

This peaked my interest; a short city episode with what looks like a combination of Doom with Duke 3D, with a cozy design surrounding all the maps.
When I played it, it was on the easy side, with only a couple of traps that did me in.

Abscission by Snaxalotl
7 vanilla compatible maps, with more to come

preview of Abscission

A dark and moody redux of Doom 2 maps, with an original soundtrack to boot.
Playing the maps actually gave me feelings of impending doom, which is fitting, considering the name of the game, that feeling is given by the relative darkness and emptiness in each map, and the relative sparseness of health and ammo (that didn't feel overbearing IMO), I haven't really seen that done before, and I loved it.
The difficulty is quite easy, with only some deadly traps; MAP06 killed me due to its crushers and having to maneuver them while fighting enemies in a tight space.
The map sizes are similar to the Doom 2 maps, meaning they're medium sized offerings.

Curious how this project is going to handle Petersen's maps.

EDIT: Okay - no familiars in this one, a pity though 😉

ORIGINAL POST:
Spent some time over the weekend cross breeding Marine's Best Friend and Hexen original source code into a lovable and playful creation I am sharing here: https://gitlab.com/ludicrous_peridot/bernewfie/-/blob/master/README.md

In short this is a close to vanilla port for DOS that uses patched and updated Allegro and also state of the art ( 😉 ) VESA code from recent MBF build to add 640x400 resolution to Hexen. The hybrid has lost some of the parent breed well known features in the process (see readme), but has all the recognizable traits and some minor, ahem, 'quality of life' improvements (see readme).

If there are DOS gamers on the board and you are not frightened off by somewhat irresponsible hasty production process behind this and want to give it a try, let me know, as I am interested in how the port runs on different hardware. I used to have a Core Duo DOS machine where I would test such stuff, but, alas, don't have it anymore.

Oh, and for the screenie... see readme.

Fuck your character limit

Anyone here interested in mapping for Heretic? Made primarily for the Crispy-Heretic sourceport. Making a fun Heretic adventure but it's limit-removing while most have previously been for ZDoom ports.

There can be new textures too to fit your heretical themes, if the stock stuff isn't enough for you please share stuff you'd like! I've never mapped for Heretic but it should be fun to take advantage of its uniqueness!

If you're interested at all then please let me know what you think.
