Doom :: a BotB Battle

32752

To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero.

EDIT: All tunes will be rendered to MP3 for voting accessibility.

32753

Chocolate doom sounds way better than vanilla doom! Is there a way to try out stuff if you don't have the game though? Are OpenDoom or similar stuff reliable/compatible?

32755

Freedoom with Chocolate-Doom

The Ultimate Freedoom IWAD

32759

i think we'll package up the top nine entries and submit it as a new episode to /idgames/

32760

Episode title ideas:

Bit Fucking Gun / Battle of the BFG
(All That and a) Bag of Chips
All Goons Will Be Rendered To BFG

I didn't see a way in doombuilder to import custom MIDI. Are there any tutorials for that and custom textures?

32790

Well, for starters you'll want MIDI2MUS. See if you can export your midi with 140 MIDI divisions. Or something like that. I have some nasty hack to fix up + shove .mus files into WADs.

I think I'll write my own midi to mus converter, because it2mid uses a custom pitch wheel depth. Or maybe I'll just spew out .mus format stuff using copious amounts of Python.

There are tools to shove files into WADs. You'll want to store your .mus file in the WAD as "D_E1M1".

32792

XWE and Slade are two good WAD browsers.
note that you don't really need to convert stuff to .MUS anymore if you don't wanna, Ultimate Doom supports .MID lumps anyway. but you might wanna consider it anyway if it doesn't loop your song correctly

32990

People are really eager to get these entries in!

32995

I would imagine that (just like me) people first need to familiarize themselves with the wad creation process. I never made a wad before ;w;

33033

g0g0g0! that's why it's 30 days long, well, 15 now =o

33186

Doom compo 4ever alone

33188

can we please get more entries on this than Deflemask 6

33241

Okay, maybe I might syncplay this thing. On Twitch. Even though I'm kinda untrained in spoken English (so you won't hear me most of the time).

33245

MAKE SOME WADS

1. draw squiggly lines on paper
2. open up doom builder 2 and enter the squiggly lines to the editor
3. make a MIDI song
4. put the midi song in the wad as D_E1M1 with SLADE

MAKE SOME WADS

33259

33388

33415

33670

hey guys doom ohbs usually had 6 entries so just pretend its an ohb if you havent entered yet

33674

hey i have a thing which i promise i'll enter

it's just a matter of seeing how much time/energy i have to work on it the the next few days

33678

I've actually got a little idea for a map, but absolutely no experience with Doom Builder whatsoever. ._.

Plus, I can get jacked up only by tomorrow, and I'm not sure of that yet.

33795

Bit random, but for the next one, could we clairfy whether or not custom music for wads needs to be an original composition for the map or an existing track used with permission? I had one I wanted to use but nobody 'round on IRC was sure if it was okay so I had to leave it out. D:

I did make sure to render the WAD as MP3, though. :D

33796

I couldn't get my one room map with a player 1 start to load into chocolate doom. Anyways, I'd like to vote.

I'm at the command line in windows and I type -
chocolate-doom.exe -file dingle.wad
- and I get a pop-up stating I can't -file with the shareware version and I must register. First off, how is this legal? They didn't write Doom, they only ported it. Second, is there a different way to load the .wad's into chocolate doom?

33798

The inability to load custom wads is a restriction from the original .EXE, and the registration message only translates to "buy Doom", not registering the port -- 'tis a good thing ports are reinforcing this. :P

Long story short, you'll need a full version, not the sharewareness. It's a game that's always worth a buy. :P

33803

tilde, are you gonna stream these or wut?

33804

Wait, you can still "buy" Doom? I figured it was basically "out of print" now.

33816

I'm surprised golgi still didn't make a "wow.wad" joke.

33817

Oh, so if my main .wad is the full game version it'll all work?

33846

Yeppers.

Definitely grab it and JOIN US

THE LEGION OF DOOM IS DOING SOMETHING OR OTHER THAT WARRANTS YOUR ATTENTION

34268

so which nine entries should we pick

34321

i think strobe should have won

34324

Xaser is the new Strobe.

He just can't really lose now.

34325

Thanks all -- hope the map wasn't too particularly evil! I do still feel rotten about coming out nowhere with prior mapping experience. I am cheat D:

Also,

"so which nine entries should we pick"

Yes.
