Doom II - Computer Nexus (Blind Ultra-Violence 100%)

[@DoktorDeth]

Hey, creator here! (I'm making this comment again because I think KZbin didn't recognize that I commented it for some reason) Thanks for the advice and many compliments! There's a newer version with different music that isn't cancer if you look up this map in the idgames archive! :) Thank you Decino for inspiring me and I'll make more in the future. Have a nice day!

[@decino]

Thanks for the submission! Aww, you should've sent me an email or a Discord DM about a newer version, I would've happily updated the submitted file. Well, I'll update the download link regardless. This is a great map, keep it up.

[@connerthecat4758]

Very nice effort!

[@arthurcarneirolopes6383]

You did a great job, but making the map in GZDoom format just for a single custom enemy seems like a bit of a waste, other than the death animation I think that demon could be easily implemented in Vanilla with DeHacked

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@arthurcarneirolopes6383 Maybe, but it's his choice and DeHackEd is far more of a pain to work with than DECORATE and ZScript.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@arthurcarneirolopes6383 Maybe, but it was his choice and DeHackEd is awfully user-unfriendly. A much worse pain to work with than DECORATE and ZScript.

"I wish I had a chainsaw." - Decino, 2024, unironically We live in the end times.

[@BeheadedKamikaze]

It's funny because the final secret that he missed was in the room with the chainsaw that he passed up just moments earlier. Could've also had the plasma rifle! I'm really surprised he didn't think of jumping to the other crate, especially as he already found the step up the first time.

I always asked my father to fight the cyberdemon in E2M8, it was too scary, he could appear from any direction!

[@kentaky83]

Same here. I was playing at my fathers work computer on black and white monitor without sound. Suddenly a pinky apprared from behind a corner. More than 25 yesrs later and I can still remember the feeling.

Been friends with GreenSlayer for a good while, I play-tested many of his old maps. Pretty mind-blowing to see one of 'em being played by the one and only Decino. He's got a habit of being rough on himself when making a map, as he doesn't like most of the ones he makes, but Computer Nexus is a very good map.

[@Zen_Kai256]

@decino There are settings in GZDoom for an overlay map, they are hidden by default for some reason. Options > Full Option Menu > Turning Simple Options Off* > Automap > Overlay Automap. Has option with both Auto + Overlay although it feels like they are misaligned. *makes the advanced settings always visible

[@1lomi901]

The MIDI is an absolute head banger from the start holy moly. Gives solid Doom 1 E1 vibe in like 3 rooms, I absolutely love it. Incredible

Yeah. Makes you want to bang your head against a wall.

[@andot201]

Actually it's a song "Take no prisoners" by Megadeth, check this out!

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@andot201 Thank you, was curious if it was a cover and don't know enough Megadeth to catch it. Original is sick too, although I'm honestly more attached to the microtonal fuckery in the glitched midi solo after hearing it looping for half an hour.

MIDI sounds like Scottish Megadeath with bagpipes. MIDI only needs more cowbell!

Honestly, I didn't realize how bad it was until I listened to the entire midi. I heard the first minute and a half and thought it was good, but oh boy was I proven wrong lmao

[@Zuxtron]

That part reminds me of the 32X version of E1M8.

[@steffkriegthegreat3435]

[@dreadwanderer]

Very good. The mecha-pinkie booger attacks made for some fine moments.

[@worldoffood123]

Really cool subtle detail! The silver hexagon floor changes to the rust colored one under the lights. Makes the lighting feel different without changing the actual brightness. Clever! Never seen that before.

[@Dethallica]

Dunno if somebody pointed this out already or not, but the map music is literally the midified version of Megadeth's Take No Prisoners.

[@eldandraken4850]

I love tech-bases as much as the next guy, but this one, much like the music, is all over the place. geez!

[@thepressotm5048]

The problem of this map is that after a while the music becomes so annoying. That's a problem I have with big maps, after a while the music becomes more of a annoying background noise, especially if I get lost for a lot of time into a level

[@pleb_76]

this has got to be my favourite music for any doom level ever.

that pitch is the equivalent of lightly stubbing one's toe.

Tech base done amazingly well... bit of the rage again maybe? David played two good ones as well recently. Midi's so wacky cursed it's funny 😂. Highlight here may well be that last secret: already thought you could crate jump so was a bit surprised you left it so quickly. It's interesting design to only have a trigger on one side. Might give this a go myself, but as you maxed it with almost all items, not much is new then.

[@llamablade3153]

@@decino oh you don't have to review it, but you should EXPERIENCE it. just a personal recommendation, but thanks for responding!

[@alexfullwood]

Just an FYI on why the midi pitch is awful, I suspect the midi is exported from a Guitar Pro tab of the song "Take No Prisoners" by Megadeth. The Guitar Pro software uses different pitch values for bends, so a full tone bend when input in Guitar Pro does not produce a bend if you the export the midi into something like a DAW. It also does some weirdness with splitting bends across 2 midi channels I believe, and if you only use 1 midi channel for the track you also get some weird pitch bendy goodness! The more you know 0.o

[@decino]

The WAD's song is stored as an MP3.

[@alexfullwood]

@@decino Huh, curious choice! I thought for sure it might be the Doom midi player misinterpreting the midi bends, but apparently not (if I recall, Guitar Pro bend values are scaled on +/- octave range, while most virtual midi players are scaled on +/- one tone). I still think the midi has come from a Guitar Pro file, but for the midi to be exported and then recorded as an audio file... that baffles me :D

[@DesArthes]

I think this is little bit bad mapping habit from 90s putting weapons into secret areas (if its only weapon in level). It can ruin pretty much flow of the gameplay (like there where you searched for SSG pretty long and missed plasma).

[@LAMAROUX34]

I think the midi issue is because it was made in powertab or a similar software and the playback can't understand the powertab-specific instructions on how to bend the notes. I vaguely remember this being an issue with PTE in the early 2000s

[@rjdeseijn]

I don't think there's something wrong with the midi. The main strumming part is in 16ths and then the solo is slower, I think in 4ths. So, it is what they call: mathematical metal (/music). But I only know the solo of R.E.M. - What's the frequency Kenneth, as an example of it.

[@tukes1234]

[@unarmored9973]

Pretty sure those lead guitar notes are just chromatic (i.e. random as shit on purpose). I personally love it.

[@SkullKingofCarpathia]

Those Blood Pinkies are devious! Because you don't want to get chomped, you keep your distance, so they use their ranged attack more. But when monsters infight they close the distance into melee which the Knights can take that damage from getting chomped and destroy the Blood Pinky first.

[@BenTheScoopist]

Maybe the yellow key area should have spawned lot of monsters, since it looks like a battle field. Good map with lots of Doom cutes.

[@fuzzix]

I wonder if the wonky pitch bends are due to General MIDI's default +/-2 semitone pitch bend limit. I believe you can extend this with RPN messages, but it may be missing in this file, or maybe in the WAD format? Or maybe it's just unsupported by whatever synth gzdoom uses? I dunno, MIDI is fun, hooray!

The music in the WAD is stored as an MP3 for some godforsaken reason so whatever MIDI to MP3 converter was used it screwed up badly.
