Technically a megawad is a 32 level mod for Doom II, but 9 SP + 9 MP level wad is still great, especially if it will be all Romero. I'm happy with this instead of getting another Daikitana fail.

For me, Doom isn't 25 until 6PM EST

I loved Carmack's little write-up:

[MusicallyInspired]

I really enjoyed that little video. Quite well done and incorporated some community content as well!

That last sentence in John Carmack's message is roughly Ion Maiden's development in a nutshell.

Is there a particular feature or set of features you had in mind when you said that, more so than others?

[Hendricks266]

It applies on many levels, as high as using the Build engine and a 256 color palette in 2018.

THE STORY SO FAR

Spoiler

EARTH, BUT A BLUE-MARBLED DREAM...
Your sweaty palms white-knuckled the arm rests as the transport blasted off from the ground based starport. Once the craft reached Earth orbit and you felt the artificial gravity take hold you could only just begin to contemplate relaxing.
As the craft's pressurized hum pressed at your ears your overactive imagination filled your mind's eye with horrendous thoughts of decompression and dying gasping for your last fleeting breath.
PHOBOS INBOUNDYour romanticism for the stars faded swiftly as the craft swept into an orbital approach on the giant muddy pebble known as Phobos.
You had just enough time to second guess every major life choice on your way, up and now here it was; The moment of truth. The craft VTOL'd down into the infamous Stickney Crater, with a loud metallic crack you were officially a resident.
Two weeks of card games, old movies from a century ago, and routine maintenance checks on life support systems, you finally received a shot at the big leagues. A fat paycheck and full benefits they said.
There was just one insidious catch; Your new assignment was classified. Deep inside the Phobos Labs. In a place you had heard catatonic whispers about.
THE ANOMALY
"The Anomaly." The odd ball structure fused to the labs like a Siamese twin. Nobody knew for certain what went on in there. Only that a caravan of body bags routinely were marched out of there.
You arrived early in the morning. Sweat oiled your palms even as the atmospheric regulators kept the facility at an unpleasantly cool temperature. No doubt for the benefit of the infinite array of chattering, unfeeling, super computers.
A geek in a lab coat that hadn't seen a wash in months scattered across the chamber, passing a hazmat jump suit to you. You were thankful for the accommodations after having stood in your skivvies for what seemed like an eternity as other pale-faced lab techs placed monitoring equipment on your chest.
The science team began ushering you towards an alien device atop a raised platform. Cold steel, fused with unknowable alien devices. A deep vibrato felt in your chest cavity. Your questions were met with administrative, condescending, dismissal. You're told to step forward.Your first foot forward never finds the floor.
Your eyes are blinded in a sickly green light.
The cold is gone.
The smell of recycled air is replaced with the nauseating stench of rotting meat.
Your skin burns from radiating heat.
Where the Hell are you...?

Happy birthday, Doom.

Damn. What unfortunate timing for it to come out. Right when my wrist decided to screw me over...


It looks good. I can't play it right now, and probably won't be able to for a while, but as soon as I'm able I'll give this a full playthrough and breakdown. I was really looking forward to this one.

Dead Man Walking for Ashes 2063 was released today, and it was excellent.

EDIT: Even though I just played Ashes: Dead Man Walking for a few hours, I said fuck it and fired up old Doom2 to give In Hell, I Rage a shot. Really fun little romp there Commando. I hope this is the beginning of an episode! I love the idea of using semi-official Doom lore to create new content. I could definitely see what appeared to be some inspiration from Dr. Sleep. My only criticism would be to maybe pay better attention to texturing, there's some misaligned stuff here and there, but no biggie. I also found the atmospheric track kind of distracting, but that's just me. I enjoyed it overall though. Looking forward to more.

Thanks for checking it out Jimmy. I'm glad you had fun there. Yeah, I got a little burned out tweaking the textures, and I thought it would be best to get it released for the 25th once I got the major bugs fixed. I'm thinking I might put up a second upload without my audio track in it as it has been a fairly consistent piece of feedback. I'm a big fan of the Aubrey Hodges stuff and that's why I made and put that track in there, but I can see why it's not for everyone.

I plan to do another map for Doom/Doom 2. I'm sorta... Working my way up the ladder. I quietly said to myself about six months ago I should try and make at least one "solid" map for all the popular games. So I started with my map pack for Wolfenstein 3D, and now I've done two for Doom, and I have one i'm sketching for Quake.... and I have an idea for Duke 3D. I also have my project for Half-Life which basically got tabled early in the year, and i'd love to get that done. I'm probably going to scale that one back down to what I had originally intended, which was a shorter map pack with stock assets. That's really what I want each map to feel like is something that is working with the confines of the original game. In that sense In Hell, I Rage failed for me, because I basically broke the limits with the first area.

It's not terrible, I've never liked the atmospheric stuff for Doom in general. Some people love it though.

Maybe try getting rid of the animated textures, they're not really necessary and it would make it feel more classic. I'd like to see more Doom content from ya.

Happy Birthday Doom!

Okay, I want this, make it happen, WB and Bethesda, thx:

^There's some hilarious gifs there!

[Zaxx]

Even though the animation is very simple I love this:

It would be cool to have a "head icon" feature in Eternal with properly animated reactions to combat and movement.

[NightFright]

It's nice, but having a statusbar taking away a large percentage of screen space just doesn't work any more these days. Still, kudos for the effort.

Yeah, the status bar is outdated as hell, I only need Doomguy's head being visible while playing.

Anyway I love that fans started using classic Doomguy from Quake Champions because that's a nice model indeed:

[NightFright]

I hope they take a different road with Eternal modding compared to Doom 2016. Their rudimentary editor allowed creating new maps, but nothing spectacular.

[Ninety-Six]

It got pretty good after the updates.

We have now released a new version of the Doom High-res Model pack for The Doomsday Engine
Grab it here https://github.com/KuriKai/dhmp

fantastic image

Truth be told, I ain't much into Doom. Sue me.
But I do love your work. I hope the Doomers will appreciated it.

[Tea Monster]

Cheers! I hope they do too.

[Mark]

Top notch work from you once again. My power pack has never looked better. Amazing what the right renderer can do.

Its not clear to me where on that link I actually download the pack. I scroll down to DHMP and click download but it takes me to another page and I don't see where to download

[Hank]

^ did you try this?

worked for me on Doom II

[Tea Monster]

Unfortunately, I can't edit my original post (sigh).

If you scoll down, there is a download link, which takes you to this page: https://github.com/KuriKai/dhmp/wiki

On there are links to high-res and low-res versions of the pack. The high-res one listed is this link: https://mega.nz/#!kl...1oWCFlHkU4mCHMU

[KuriKai]

The barrel is now included in the model pack

[Mark]

I told this to Teamonster too. Get some HRP textures loaded into your test project folders.

I know its only test pics but the models don't look right with the lo res backrounds. It takes away from the WOW factor.
