DooM Stand in a convention (videogames), what modes can be good?

#1

Post by Manhs » Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:15 pm

Hello, i did some stands for Megaman 8 bit deathmatch, but i would want change it and do some stands with others games/modes.

Exemple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-y_cpYq0z0

I have 4 laptop (2007 laptop) with 4 keybard, 4 mouses,4 earphone and a LAN router.

Doom and the modes can work certainly...with those old laptops, but i wanted know, is it possible to show Doom games in a convention without asking to Id Software if i can do it ? Maybe i could send them a mail to ask for it...

Sorry, im french, i will try my best ^^

I tried some modes of DooM, Brutal doom is hilarous, but my favorite is "Shotgun sfrenzy", the co-op/invasion type mode where we must defend the base! So Epic! I love this mode...

But i think, the best mode to use for people is doom with a mode like Brutal DooM ? What do you think about that? With Deathmatch mode!

I will try to make doom stands, maybe, because this serie is one of my favorite! Anyway;

have a good day guys!

Personal opinion? I think this might work out nicely, but give options to what people can play, instead of a stand for JUST BrutalDoom or JUST Shotgun Frenzy, make it so that they have a choice out of different modes lets say, oldschool doom duels vs eachother, a game of survival co-op in BrutalDoom, a game of survival invasion in Shotgun Frenzy etc.

People like being given choices in gameplay, instead of being forced to play only 1 mode all the time.

Yes, indeed! I can start with a classic DM mode and change it with others modes to show what we can do with Doom modes!

Here are some suggestions for mods, if you're going to show more of them:

There are igpack, jurassic rift, complex doom. Can't think of anything else that is not played very often. You can also try the new game modes some mods have like freeze tag, deathball, or jailbreak(the one made by Voltlock long ago). Zandronum also has some interesting built-in game modes like (team)possession, terminator, domination(kind of like control points, though you need maps that are designed for this mode: http://devilhunter.rfc1337.net/wads/Dom ... 3beta1.zip). You can also try the old & forgotten buckshot/instagib modifiers in any map. You can enable them in server settings.

Thanks, i will see the modes! I will test it.

I think, a TDM/DM style mode is more fun than TLMS/LMS style, for the people who test the game/mode, if they can respawn directly, it can be really boring and they can leave the Stand....

It's the reason why i thought about TDM + weapons pack + packmaps (maybe)...

People like when they dont die and spam weapons directly, if i use a mode like "Who dun it", it can be boring and long for people who want try the game, like Survivor (1 life)...Invasion could be a good idea, against the monster, if they can get quickly a lot of weapons and respawn!
But people like more when they shoot each of the players....

The laptops are from 2007 but not really powerful too....Anyways, i will test some stuff with the laptops!

3 of the laptops are 1 giga ram (graphic card and others : Low)
1 of the laptops is 4 giga ram, i use him to be the server...

Well, with megaman 8 bit deathmatch, i didnt use a lot of modes or packmaps (juste a classes mode).

Is there a fun classes/weapons/maps pack ?

ZDoom Wars, Doom Dodgeball, Stronghold On The Edge Of Chaos, Samsara... These are just from the top of my head. Can't really remember anything else right now.

Doom Dodgeball, it worked fine even on my pentium 3 with 384mb ram.
Most Jump Maze maps worked fine on it too.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I miss the gorgous mod ever made, Armageddon 2V5 *____*

Uac Military Nightmare. The best way to pop someone's Doom cherry is with some good ol' fashioned anal rape from John Romero and Santa Claus.

I tried Samsara, it's like invasion with classes right ?
It could be good indeed!
If i can contact DooM France, i could prepare some Lans with the association where i am, in the conventions. :)

Basically, Destination unknown has a weapons speed+++ ?

EDIT: Ah, Strghld is the basic mode and samsara is with classes?...

I think I need a more who use the real guys of doom.

Do you know if there is some modes with custom weapons + normal weapons?

I like how everybody, like, forgot about Ghoul Forest and Ghouls vs Humans existence. I mean, come on, we've been enjoying it since forever ._.

Could do some invasion wads like Delta Invasion etc. That's something different and pretty cool to show off :D

What is the style of prop hunt, Do you have the link? I didnt find it yet.

I updated the first link, i didnt put the good one xD

Well it's with 2007 laptop, it can be good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-y_cpYq0z0
And this one (HD) at 2:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J83C5BUrfc

Sometimes, with Megaman 8 bit deathmatch, the game can crash and i need to restart the game for 1 or 2 computer each 4 hours...boring, but it's rare...It's more rare when i dont add a lot of thing in the game...(but DOOM modes are different so I dont know...)

Exemple, for invasion samsara type => the minimum of ram/config to play correctly the game/mode ?

Thanks again for your help, very cool :smile:

I tested some modes, i think, i will be DM Brutal Doom and Samsara....

Is there some packmaps for BrutalDoom for DM modes (like for...4 players) ?
I will test some packs (:

Coop could work too...

EDIT: I found this one http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4037 And it works with DM, cool!
Im testing, looks good. Smile

EDIT2: I use the topic because i need a help, does it work i make a server like this :
DOOM - Deatmatch" iwad=doom2.wad wad="brutal19-official.pk3, duel32f.pk3, amath.wad" config=brutaldoommanhs.cfg gamemode=DM skill=4

WITH sv_maxplayers: 10 ?...
Maybe i could have 4 players and add some bots for the conventions.
let's if it works well for the gameplay...

EDIT3: Ok, i will have a DooM stand for a Halloween Convention in France! (November 1) but for 1 day.
I tested delta alpha invasion, it looks good for me because i search some modes who can be like the original doom or doom2 without to have too much weapons who are not really like doom games (Exemple All out of war or Humans vs Ghouls who are very good mode (but i didnt try a lot Ghouls'), but if i say "doom stand" People would want try to see how is doom BASICALLY with some little modes')
Specially for the weapons and classes...

Invasion Delta/Alpha is epic!

I wanted try Brutal Doom Deathmatch with some packmaps (like in my server) but after a moment, people can be bored, and the good thing of Doom IS the ennemies, so much demons. :)

Sorry for my bad english again, i try....
Doom rules haha, i have so much fun at replaying it ^^

Hello there, i wanted say, the convention is over since some weeks, but i had some problems.

In Invasion mode, the game laggued a lot, same thing with Brutal Doom with deathmatch, but less....Specially where it started to be a lot of "dead body" on the screen.

Is there a way to delete the dead body of the players?....

Here are the laptops:

Thinkpad Lenovo:
4 go RAM
Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU, 17500 @ 2,20ghz 2,20ghz
System 32bits
93,1 go Disk
Window Vista
Graphic card: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family.
I use him often to make the server.

3 others computers are like it:

DELL 510:
2go RAM
Wiindows XP
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
Processor 1,75ghz, 795 Mhz,

It's weird....If i use Cooperative without Brutal doom, can it lag?...or...if the computer who make the server, is NOT used, can it help to be sure the others laptops wont lag?..So i need a new laptop....and strong!

I will have maybe a new Doom stand in a a big convention, but i must be sure there wont be any lags.... I would want use Brutal doom.... ^^
