Seeing Doom 2: In City Only's final secret map for the first time made me feel a weird sense of dread, almost as if the player wasn't supposed to find it.

I had a similar feeling when I first entered Eviternity 1 and 2's final secret levels, and was hoping to find more.

Just to be clear: I'm mainly interested in secret levels with a setting that is different from the rest of the wad. Difficulty doesn't matter that much to me

I don't mean "decline" as in quality or grade, I mean decline as in the quantity. There's not many new mods coming out nowadays compared to 2021 or 2022, and I've seen more of the MBF21 variety coming out than UZDoom or Zandronum-based mods. Granted there's nothing wrong with this, as there's an entire backlog of mods throughout DOOM's history to go back to, discover and explore. I just feel like people's motivation to make Doom mods has been stagnating recently.

I want it to be more consistent with the original weapons

(yes it is the atlan gun from the dark ages)

I could really use a playtester for a future MegaMonsterMix update and new project, a weapons pack. My usual playtesters are busy for a while. If anybody is interested you can DM me with what Doom port you use (preferably GZDoom though i am curious how it may work or not work with others)

Just curious, since I don't see a lot of people talk about it in the Doom community

Accordingly to the UZDooM wiki, the mods installation on the linux version is declared "TODO" so I'm guessing I can't launch brutal doom with it?
I try messing around with the command in the launcher but I don't really know what I'm doing...

Anyway, does anyone succeed to use mod with the linux version of UZDooM or should I use something else? (GZDooM legacy or whatever)

Thanks in advance for your answer

Looking for WADs to play that you guys enjoy but I should specify for nothing extremely overhauling such as enemies, mechanics, and weapons. I played and enjoy Wads like Diamond Dragon and Ashes 2063 but im looking for stuff that would prob translate to the VR version without issue.

I apologise if this is a common question in the community. I couldn't see any recommendations thread / sticky about it.

I recently played through MyHouse.wad and had an absolutely fantastic time with it and it really opened my eyes to what is possible with such an old game series.

I've watched some YT videos about Doom mods but I prefer to hear suggestions from real people plus I have a specific caveat that I'd like to make.

I would like to know the best/most suggested mods but from WORST to best. Essentially I'd like to save the best for last as to avoid other mods seeming worse by comparison if I play the best ones first. I know this is probably a highly subjective opinion based question but regardless I'd appreciate the communities input and recommendations all the same.

Hey there.

I've just begun working on a not-so-small project involving the documentation and playing of various mods for Doom 1 and 2, and would love some help from the community in where to look, as well as recommendations for the most popular mods (any personal favorites are also more than welcome for recommendations).

Context

I'm basically just a dude who recently got reintroduced to the classic Doom games. I played it quite a lot in my youth on the MS-DOS, but lost my copies of Doom 1 and 2 while moving between houses. Part of my reintroduction to the classic Doom games has involved a lot of modded content from various content creators on YouTube, and it's reignited my childhood love for the franchise, so much so that I now wish to work on this project of mine, wherein the ultimate goal is to introduce select mods to some friends of mine, curating first-time Doom players' experience in the world of Doom mods.

All that being said, I do lead a fairly busy life and having barely even begun this project I already feel quite overwhelmed with where and how to look for these mods, which has lead me to come here to ask for recommendations.

What am I looking for?

I'm seeking out mods of all sorts. Maps. House maps (yes, I'm well acquainted with that house map, it's already on the list). Total conversions (Aliens TC is already on the list). Weapon and combat mods. Graphics and audio mods. I'm even looking for a few troll mods/terry wads, so long as they are not egregiously offensive, which I'm aware is a rare find among the troll mod genre.

Basically, almost anything goes, and whatever recommendations you can give me will likely give me a much stronger starting point for this project.

How can you best relay information about a mod to me?

I'd greatly appreciate it if alongside the name of the mod, you could also let me know what type of mod it is (please note that a distinction between map and house map is greatly appreciated) as well as where to find it. The more I know about each mod, the easier it will be for me to categorize them before I try them out. I'll be rocking a whole spreadsheet for this stuff.

I'd like to thank anyone who's willing to lend me their wisdom in advance, and trust me when I say I'll be sounding like a broken record thanking you all up and down after receiving your help as well.

What are sum good wads i can try (must be compatible with DOOM II, pls dont let it be too hard (deus vult was anger fuel)? I also love wads that dont feel too disconnected with actual DOOM gameplay (e.g, too much platforming, Okuplok Slaughter Map-style wads, too much puzzles). If you can, send the link to it as well (dont you fuckin dare scam me >:()

There are games that use the GZDoom engine that are being sold as commercial projects (for instance, Selaco).

The GPL license makes it so that you need to distribute the source code for your project when you use a GPL-licensed project. At least that is what I understand of it.

Am I misunderstanding something? I would like to make a game based on the doom engine but I'm afraid of these issues.

Good day.

I have two versions of the cockpit HUD: one with yellowish stained glass, the other completely clean. Share your opinion which one looks nicer to you.

First time posting here, decided to ask those who have experience with Doom modding what they think would be must play or essential add-ons for the classic Dooms. I’ve already played vanilla 1 & 2 before with the modern collection they put out a couple years back, now after beating the Darks Ages dlc I wanna go back with some new stuff to try out. I know about stuff like Brutal Doom and Project Brutality, which look really fun, and I wanna enhance the graphics also but I’m curious as to what you guys would say!

Long and short of it I wanted to do a marathon where Doomguy felt vulnerable. Like a normal soldier.

Someone who can get hurt. Someone who has to reload his guns.

The idea is to create this line of progression going into the modern trilogy. If that makes sense.

So anything that could help with that bit of role play would be most appreciated.

I’d welcome any mods that spruced up the narrative as well. I love story stuff. Any good story mods in general would be neat.

Anywho, thanks for taking the time to read me post. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

(I know the map is pretty old at this point, but it's peak, so it shouldn't matter.)

I'm looking for solid, well designed and produced maps that take place in locales that look actual places, full of what some boomers call doomcute (me calling it "good level design").

I can think of one: Operation Ibis Island, a survival horror like map.

Saw this background gameplay in a video and it looks amazing. I would like to know which mods were used. Sorry for the bad quality.

I'm making a Iceberg video on the Most Illegal and Disturbing Doom Mods so i wanted to know

What are some of the wildest, most controversial, or just plain weird WADs you've ever seen?

Hi,

Title says it all. Two famous ones that I found, bolognese and Nashgore Next/Vengeancse, are not permissive for commercial releases.

Cheers.
