Doom mod recommendations?

[Ol' Willy]

Actually using dated in that sense might indicate the year it was created as in the dated control scheme of MGS 2.

This is no console, you can play 1996 WAD with full mouselook and crouching if you fancy. Just graphicfags being graphicfags

One could always say "old"

 

[Ol' Willy]

Anyone who thinks that the word "dated" can't be applied to games or that the word shouldn't be used is too ol' to live and should immediately present themselves to the local Euthanasia Center to be processed into crackers. This is 2022, after all.

Wholeheartedly recommend this:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/dn3doom/downloads/dn3doom-v1-07

It's not a 100% faithful recreation of Duke's mechanics in Doom, but a Doom-engine reincarnation of the Duke gameplay and it's a blast.

Works with any Doom level too, which is great.

There's a lot of goodness in this world... and it's in the form of Doom pwads. I think that's a quote from The Diary of a Young Girl or something. Doom and Duke3D - the best of both worlds in a single wad.

Oh, I guess the engine used there is gzdoom.
In zandronum I did not manage to get view-tilting when strafing nor motion blur (did not really look for the latter, though).
With gzdoom these are available.

I actually got trapped in the first level of the generated campaign, not the second btw. xD

 

[Kruno]

What is the engine used there?

I recommend most mods made by Impie. His latest work seems to be a Doom adaptation of the obscure shareware game Bad Toys.

Aliens: Eradication
is frickin good. The Xenos are a bitch! This one kinda fits the original request, too (though again little in terms of progression).


LiTDOOM + Obsidian is also pretty awesome IMO.
Challenging stuff!

As is D3PRXSIT.

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/110070-dbp17-alone/ (endure the first map, second one starts it, it seems),
Obsidian maps with the right params also play great with Aliens Eradication. But from the mods own maps I only just finished map01 with Merc (Kills 89%, Items 68%, Secret 33% Time 1:19:38).

Remember, short controlled bursts.
And ...
Watch your six! xD

To up the unease, fear factor and sheer terror there are dynamic spawners to combine with it.
The Xenos already are kind of adept at sneaking up on you from behind and surprise you* however
having cleared out areas will have you rely on the mapper to have some new cool spawns put in for you on certain triggers.

No longer with these:
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=62335
^ unfortunately replaces the mapmaker's spawns and does not just add to it.

This fork changed that, however it also might teleport them in in your view and does only use an interval range to keep 'em coming:
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=71464

And you can give 'em some more flavour with this in addition: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=66778

I think I will be a chicken and ban liveeggs, facehuggers and their wallhugger variant from the dynamic spawn additions because these
can instakill you too easily when they creep up on you and the beginning number of these is more than I would like to have to handle already honestly.

*Actually the motion tracker sound gives them away (which is the time to check your six) if the situation is not already heated.

Okay this one fits the bill:
Wrath of Cronos: https://www.moddb.com/mods/wrath-of-cronos-v324/downloads/woc-v3-2-4-doom-released

You could also play through the original Hexen with that or again Obsidian generated wads.

If anyone is up for some CoOp of this during EU friendly times, feel free to hit me up.
I tested locally with two instances and it should work fine over the net (you might have to setup a port-forward for a UDP port, however it might also suffice if one player does it, here I am not quite sure).

BRO GO TO THE OFFFICIAL THREAD MOTHERFUCKER

I'm getting a "The mod requested could not be found." message when I click your link.

I did find what at first I thought was a later version of it on that site but on closer inspection it appears to be an 'unofficial' modified version of Wrath of Cronos created by someone else.

Wrath of Cronos v3.2.8 (Hard, unofficial version)
https://www.moddb.com/mods/wrath-of-cronos-v328-hard-unofficial-version


Does anyone have a link for the official version and/or information on why it was taken down?

 

[Gostak]

"The author officially left it at version 3.1.4 [...]" at the files tab, so you reached the right place (regarding my recommendation).
Why the guy decides to put the version number into the mod's name on moddb is beyond me, guess it may rotate some more in the future then.

This thread is a pos. There is another one. It has everything you need.

I like Hideous Destructor, sue me!
So much so that I hacked the keymaster mod to work with it.
Coop is cool, and there's an AI buddy mod in case herp and derp and talisman dudes are not enough for solo runs.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-infinite
is also pretty kick ass!

Yeah, because having tooth enamel is bad for you.
