Tortured Transmission was in development for over half a year to deliver game changing tactics to the world of Doom; In this mod, you won't be able to blindly gun through every level without taking some serious damage, or dying. It heavily encourages tactical gameplay as well as raises the difficulty roof of Doom to a new level, while at the same time providing the players with new ways to go about each level and to defeat every enemy. We at FSR hope you enjoy the mod and have fun learning how the mod works.

Tortured Transmission, overall, attempts to make Doom more immersive and modern by including various unique features, such as:

-Cool, new looking effects
-Ambient Sounds for Map Props
-New terrains, for more of a fluid-like look, double layered with 64 frame animations
-Modernized Sounds, with extended bass frequencies for that extra pow, customizing some into Stereo as well

This mod attempts to integrate new features like these without being too lag-inducing or too resource consuming.

There are also new weapons, along with remastered weapons from Doom and Doom 2 that you've come to know and love, including:

Gauntlet!
Chainsaw!
Fists!
Doom Pistol!
Shotgun!
DB-Shotgun!
Lapua Magnum Rifle!
.357 Magnum!
Machinegun!
Chaingun!
Rocket Launcher!
Napalm Launcher!
Plasma Rifle!
Lightning Gun!
And the last, but certainly not least, BFG9000!

All of the weapons in this mod feature new sounds as well as 1-tic animations that provide a smooth, seamless feel like no other, and most of them also include a reload function that you have to bind to a key in the controls menu. A few of these weapons also make use of the alt-fire key, so make sure it's set as well!

Along with these new features and weapons, Tortured Transmission comes built in with our brand of walljumping, named Parkcore. To use this, all you have to do is jump up and then press a direction away from a wall or flat surface, then press jump again. This can also be used to jump off of enemies as well, though this is ill-advised, considering most enemies are extra-deadly at close range proximity.

For those that don't like walljumping for the fear that it can break maps and such like that, it can be turned off by using the rcon command:

Fire: Doom 64/Sonic Adventure (GameCube)

Huh. What part of the sprite was from Sonic Adventure?

100% original coding/acs by Master Garo.

o rly?


Few more things (just so you don't try to report my post for being "pointless"):

The blood, fire, and smoke are basically Brutal Doom, even if they really weren't copy+pasted. They are way too opaque, spawn way too many actors, and block your vision often, just like BD.

yes that's only from being shot by ZOMBIEMEN. imagine getting shot by shotgunners or chaingunners

-Shinemapped and Gleaming/Glossy Weapons

These "shinemapped" weapons look pretty bad, almost as if the gunmetal has been corroded or warped. And all you really did was layer this image from the Zandro/GZDoom pk3 over the weapon sprite.

The spark effects look really dull. They're too slow to look like debris gunshot/lazer debris. They just look like a shower of oversized rice falling out of the wall.

I'm gonna reply to this starting from the top going down.

Garo said he thinks the fire is from one of Amy's attacks. He used it for one of the archvile's new actions.

Claiming the blood or anything else is "brutal doom" is completely false since they're originals or sourced from DOS games. Don't bring this up again. Sgt. Mark IV wasn't the first guy to ever do gore or blood of any sort in games, and he won't be the last. The last time I checked, as well, this was TT's thread, not Brutal Doom's. The blood only appears for a split second before it drops. It does not float midair like your screenshot suggests, blocking your view.

Saying the shinemapped weapons looks bad is just a matter of opinion on your part. I can think of several of your weapon sprites that don't look peachy, but I don't go out of my way to point it out because people have different art styles and ways they want to do their guns. Shinemapping was applied to guns to give them a sort of gleam, seeing as most of these are metal and constantly have light on them; In the case that you're in a dark room, it'll be too dark to see them anyway, unless you have the gamma really high. Doom set the original gamma at 1.0. (PS. That wasn't the image Garo used, but nice guess.)

Again, saying the sparks look dull is another matter of opinion. We all personally agree that they're quite fast enough as it is; Take a look at some sparks falling sometime. They aren't super fast to fall. They're also something that's hardly done in doom, if it has even been done before at all; A full 16 frame rotation on each one, which emulates the effect of 3d in Zandronum without actually needing models.

Don't bring drama from another thread into my thread, please. I posted this here for the mod Tortured Transmission and for those wanting to talk about it.

It looks like they put some Glad transparent wrap made for sandwiches and wrapped them all over the gun.

Disclaimer:
If you are going to make fun of us for using stuff we stole, please make sure its rather appropriate.

I'm surprised you guys really have the audacity to repost this after people pretty much found you out, I'll give you that. But...no, go away and stay away.

ADD

Claiming the blood or anything else is "brutal doom" is completely false since they're originals or sourced from DOS games.

Which DOS games did it (The Blood, at least) come from? Did you give them credit for it? I don't see any reason to not give them credit.

You'll claim people are bullying you and giving you and your little group shit, so I'd rather do it here and call you out on it.

This is probably the worst way to respond to criticism.

[Ijon Tichy]

do you have the slightest clue how lighting actually works? because I can safely tell you metal doesn't have a shitty wispy texture on top of it because it's metal.

metal has a gleam because it reflects more light, and doesn't scatter it around as much. the bright spots are brighter, and the dark spots are darker because of that.

it does NOT look like someone just puked all over it and tried to pass it off as a shine map.

seriously that chainsaw looks absolutely fucking horrible.

[Popsoap]

Oh boy, I'm gonna have tons of fun pointing out problems with your post.

Don't bring this up again.

Wonderful attitude to adopt. You asked for critique, you received it.

The last time I checked, as well, this was TT's thread, not Brutal Doom's.

But Ænima was comparing the two...

Saying the shinemapped weapons looks bad is just a matter of opinion on your part.

They do look bad. Besides, claiming they look good is also a matter of opinion.

I can think of several of your weapon sprites that don't look peachy, but I don't go out of my way to point it out because people have different art styles and ways they want to do their guns.

And you blatantly went off topic yourself by patronizing him.

Don't bring drama from another thread into my thread, please.

Then don't start drama by acting like this.

I posted this here for the mod Tortured Transmission and for those wanting to talk about it.

Ænima and everyone else DID talk about it.

[iSpooks]

While I could repeat what everyone has said in terms of flaws, I won't. I'm just gonna repeat what I said:

"<+iSpook> ... That's like brutal doom and fucking HD rolled into one fucking abomination of a mod."

Edit: and I say this as an opinion, I gave the thing an honest play-through and that's what it felt like to me.

[The Toxic Avenger]

Hey I just noticed. The bandcamp you linked as your title/intermission music source. None of that stuff there is free, and it's all paid stuff.

I'm pretty sure that's not the most legal thing to be using in your wad.

It's kind of hard to replicate true light gleam in a game that supports textures, not models. The original doom had light shining off the weapons themselves; This just adds a different variation of it. It was just a new, original look Garo was trying to do to add a bit more detail to the guns since there's light EVERYWHERE and most of the guns are metal, and to make us stand out from other mods. If nobody tried to do new things, modding wouldn't even be here today.

He's also informed me that he removed the gleam on the guns earlier today, due to some of the people in FSR liking it and some disliking it. It will be included in an extra wad hotfix for the mod, that also fixes a lag issue that some script error was causing.

Was there any other complaints you had with the mod? If so, how could they be fixed? Also, I noticed you failed to comment whatsoever on the gameplay, which this mod is highly based around. Could you please take a more in-depth view into the mod before picking one thing you dislike out of the whole thing and proceeding to tear down the whole mod just because you dislike it?

Something akin to this, I imagine.

...but he didn't.
All he said was that the guns look bad, which you yourself are admitting Garo is going to be replacing due to not everyone liking them. He didn't "tear down the whole mod".

Seriously, this is a terrible way to respond to criticism.

[Ijon Tichy]

eriance seems to be able to do it!
blox seems to be able to do it to some extent (although sharp edges + blox = lolno)!

something being hard does not excuse you fucking up
see: challenger going kaboom

If nobody tried to do new things, modding wouldn't even be here today.

if nobody took a look at their own work and realized what worked and what didn't, we wouldn't have engineering, science, computers, mathematics, or really anything based off of logical processes
what's your point?

Major flaw with this reasoning, the changes actually need to have an improvement to the existing product.

It would be like saying that installing software to slow down your computer is "an attempt to innovate computer software."

Nah, Ijon, I wasn't trying to make you look like the bad guy, just asking you to look at the mod more in depth. What did you think of the gameplay? New monsters? How the weapons felt? Difficulties? Talking about the weapon sprites just scratches the surface; This is NOT just a visual mod, it's a gameplay mod as well.

[mifu]

Ok i just tried this mod.

With all the gore and stuff, it feels like brutal doom imo, which is bad.
It's bad because it was already done. I think you guys need to go back to the drawing board and come up with some new gameplay. Maybe make some maps too?

I agree here. Ted, you need to get rid of the title/intermission music and pick something else, that we do not have to pay for. That's something I forgot to mention.

When I get ahold of Garo later I'll talk to him about changing the music. He didn't use an actual song of theirs; Just instrumentals from one. I'm gonna ask him if they were free or not. I'll let you know what I find. If they weren't free, expect a change. Sorry for the delay.

Garo does have maps in mind; He's going to be releasing some later that use the features of the mod to a decent extent.
As far as gore goes, I don't really think we're gonna remove it, nor is it necessary to do so. By the logic you gave, any mod trying to use gore is just copying brutal doom, which isn't so. There have been mods before brutal doom that made gore, like nashgore. We got the inspiration for gore from games like Quake 3 Arena, Duke Nukem 3d, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Killing Floor, Turok 2, and Doom 3. With Doom 3 specifically, it directly inspired the close up shotgun gib that we have in the mod, and the blood on the walls and such in Quake 3 Arena helped inspire our own.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Would you explain what you dislike about the current gameplay in the mod?
