Hint, you say? Well... don't play with Brutal Doom because it's not designed for that and I have no idea how that affects the balance / fairness.

Which ambush you're referring to? The garden to the east? 

Hello. Just made account here and on tod

ну типа в Terms of Service такого слова я не нашёл, значит опасности нет. Если хосты не придумают какую-то шизу что низзя

Nice texture/sprite generator. I imagine one could take them and put into a real game

I hope I won't get banned here for using AI? I think this is the only forum that's fairly lenient towards community members who deviate from the general norm.

Beautiful, but some screenshots?

Correct, and you are now at the top of the table, but I will still put you on pause for the next question, unless somehow, again, no one else can come up with an answer after a reasonable time.

Q9. MAP09: Even Simpler is a homage to Dead Simple from DOOM II, but differs in the combat progression.
How many combat phases are in Even Simpler, and which monsters are fought in each phase?
(if in doubt, assume standard difficulty level)
joe-ilya got three points in a row and should skip this question.

That is the map progression from Doom 64: Absolution

Yeah helion would better be a tune up of some regular source port, written in C of course. Cuz i at least understand code like that. Cpp has many dumb words. C sharp is like pretending I'm a priest and i don't know holy books and yet I have to understand something.

Hypothetically it's a fillable niche. I'm gonna be looking into that. Maybe

Like recently I've been trying to vibecode a zdoom texture editor so that i don't have to deal with garbage like slade 3. Result is okay, but without llms being able to SEE what's wrong, it's a very hard task to tell them what to fix. I know i can just deal with each part of the plan myself and that's fool proof, but I'm lazy to and want shit that i think is easy, to get it fast. Maybe i should be looking at debloating slade 3 and downporting.

However the unhealthy state of doom community makes me think it's all not worth the trouble, I'd better go vibe code some mods for Minecraft. It's also a cesspool i guess, but userbase is at least liquid and more in count at least ten times

Sort of. The requirement for a global, fixed, precomputed bsp tree means looking from the top-down, the map geometry must be static.

But you can certainly have bsp-based renderers that support moving geometry. You just need to split static and dynamic geometry apart (this is what Quake did, which is still also bsp-based).

Played d64 for the first time couple of years ago and I thought the level design was amazing, way better than classic dooms. The game's atmosphere and music were strangely enchanting. Didn't realize I had to collect some secret keys though but luckily the final boss was still beatable without them.

Wasn't bsp also the reason why doom's geometry is static? That sucks if so. As for me 35fps is preferable to play doom. Higher fps looks weird when you have sprite monsters imho.
Too bad helion is based on .net. I'd rather install a random doom port from randocoder than microsoft's malware.

the first time i played it i thought it's pretty short and simple, and it just had a large portion of optional areas, which gives me diafragmal orgasm

I just replayed Habitat today by loading a random map and I completely forgot the blue key was behind a fake wall. I guess all the times I've played it, I ran through the wall by accident and found the key anyway. I was stuck on this map for almost 30 minutes before I found it.

I've changed my mind, Habitat sucks.

Doortrak is boring.

Doortrak not used in all those maps? (E2M9, E3M2, E3M6, E4M1, E4M2, E4M6, E4M8) ...   That's gotta be some Mandela effect shit! DAMN THOSE MADMEN AT CERN!

That's one way to look at it, and that is why I said SilverMiner and thundercunt were incorrect.
But there does exist a context in which it is correct. I'm surprised it's turning to be so difficult.

There are many mistakes in the map progression.
MAP31 is accessible from MAP18. MAP33 is unreachable via any map, as it is the title map. MAP38, 34 35 are not accessible via the main campaign's maps.
The only correct vertical link is the one between MAP01 and 32.
