[@VolcanoPenguin]

You forgot one very important rule of monster agro: each monster has a hidden check sequence that detects whether or not the player wants/needs a certain monster to infight. If yes, that monster is far less likely to fire a projectile.

[@TivonSanders]

I wondered about that. It seems like some monsters don't shoot because they don't want to execute any "friendly fire". But piss them off and bring them to a pain state and all bets are off. LOL

[@CarbonRollerCaco]

You joke, but I'm pretty sure the distance thing covers that as you need a target for that monster to hit and said target would be in between you and the monster as you'd be leading the monster's shots, naturally requiring some space.

[@doomerrasa8475]

To be honest, I still occasionally feel like monsters are less aggressive if there's a monster between you and them, as if they're trying to avoid obviously bad shots. But there's no such code, it's just appearances + the distance thing.

[@DarkonFullPower]

9:46 This one picture answered a years long question for me. "Why was the Revenant so 'beloved' by classic Doom-ers?" Beyond homing missiles, it wasn't that much different. So why the love? It is because his aggression is second only to boss mobs. He was RELENTLESS. And that aggression put his rockets on full display. He DEMANDED attention, less you risk playing _Ring Around the Tracers._

[@mwperk02]

of course revenants in wide open spaces could easily have their tracer missiles baited into other monsters as well. perhaps making revenants one of the easiest monsters to cause infighting second only to hitscanners.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

That's exactly right. Outside of custom monsters, boney boi is the one projectile monster that reliably puts pressure on the player. And with that modest 300HP, he's easier to dispatch than the usual suspects.

8:08 And this is why Lost Souls are so aggressive in Doom 64. Midway thought they were just making the Lost Soul's flaming animation twice as smooth by halving the tics of their A_Chase states, but in actualality, they were also making them ultra aggressive! Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder! Speaking of which, where's the Doom 64 code analysis in these videos?

I hope someone got *promoted* for that blunder, it makes Lost Souls and especially Pain Elementals far more vicious and dangerous, making up for the lack of Archies and Boners. In fact, I'm willing to bet it was very conscious given how they are also explosive, making them yet more dangerous to fight and completely defeating the old abortion trick from Doom 2.

It's such a basic programming thing to gawk at but bitshifting by 1 to divide by 2 is still one of my favorite tricks. I use it all the time.

Don't. Compilers and interpreters were very dumb back then. Not even close nowadays. Just divide by 2, the compiler is smarter than you.

@@Adolf1Extra That's only under the assumption you're using a compiled language. If you're coding in javascript or Lua for example then it is still very relevant.

[@robsku1]

@@Adolf1Extra There's no faster way to divide (or multiply) an integer by two no matter who does the optimizing, AFAIK that's the most likely way the compiler will optimize it anyway. Since bitshifting for dividing or multiplying integers is also very well known, and there are comments as well, I see no reason not to do so. And in case the code will end up compiled by older stupider compiler, it'll be optimized in that case as well - and not all programmers are even targeting modern platforms. The only argument I can see for trusting the compiler to know best is readability - and the improvement here is barely even real. ...and there are places where manual optimization by writing pure assembly by hand is still very much a thing. Whether for speed or for size, there's still reasons why it's being done. Bitshift by one is just another way to multiply/divide by 2 - I see no reason why it should be shunned.

Intersting info you got there Decino. May I ask you that, when you talk about times in your analisys videos, could you compare those times with things that doom players have interiorized? I'm talking about, in addition to (for example) show that X thing takes 0.885 seconds to happen, you could say "that means X can happen twice while you reload your supershotgun". There are many examples of times that the players, while we may not know the exact times seconds, we have a grasp and a feeling of them. The time from opening a door and actually being able to cross it, elevator waiting, cyberdemons barrages, damaging floor intervals, archivile magic, etc... Of course you don't have to be exact, but it helps to put things into perspective. And as always, keep up the good work Mr. Pumpkin

(As of posting the comment, currently at 6:02) 1:50 Missed opportunity to do a freeze-frame meme. Still a very good video, and fantastic placement of sound bytes! It gets pretty baffling when an enemy you _need_ to have infight others with literally refuses to attack though...

[@sargon6000]

Out of curiosity, do exploding barrels injuring an enemy alter their reaction time? What if it's the last barrel from a chain reaction of exploding barrels?

[@samlay9588]

If the explosion triggers their pain state, yes. If the Player is the Source of the Barrel Explosion (as explained in, IIRC, ducino's Explosions video barrels remember what entity shot them if they don't explode in one attack), then yes because that damage is then treated as Player sourced. From a chain reaction, maybe? Depends on if the first barrel remembered the Source or not, and what that source was. Since infighting damage seems to work differently, I would guess that a chain reaction wouldn't change the Reaction Time, unless the pain state triggers of course. Monsters are also immune to other environment damage, and explosions are handled in separate code from hitscans and projectiles, so that's a weird case all around.

Not only are the new analysis videos incredibly informative and engaging as always, now they have the spicy memey flare so that even my easily entertained zoomer brain can follow without getting too lost in the details. Thanks memecino!

[@Dan-bz2nh]

Yes! Another analysis! Also that MountPain27 nod was amazing.

[@michaelaguilar6315]

That dunce animation seems familiar

[@VitriolicVermillion]

The use of animation and sound was SUPER cute. The content was informative and fun and presented clearly. All of it jives with my observations -- particularly hitting obstacles resulting often in delaying attack. Nice to know exactly why! Also impressive that there were these difficulty factors our man Carmack put in, rather ingeniously, in fact, but nobody seemed to ever talk about. We got stuff like (Lee Killough's?) BFG FAQ, but I can't recall seeing this stuff documented for the layperson. Now, in retrospect, today I could say that Carmack should have made these move-counters get populated from a granular difficulty table that decreases the initial values for each difficulty level increase, rather than just suddenly turn them off once you hit Nightmare or fast monsters, but hindsight is 20/20.

3:43 best part of the video

[@aleksandarlazarov9182]

I love the effort and time spend into the visuals of this video! The little jocks and cartoon style is AMAZING!!! And the topic is super cool, I always wondered how the enemies "think" when attacking at range!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Funny thing is, I've learned (from you) to exploit the Arch-vile's aggression. He stops to zap often and is so fast that he frequently runs ahead of his crew. Makes zappy boi easy to single out and send packing in the vast majority of maps.

[@T3sl4]

Easy to control his movement with some cover. Moves very fast indeed while you're taking cover, but baiting out attacks (and then taking cover) he may even keep pace with the crowd. This is extremely exaggerated on fast/NM of course!

[@TDGalea]

The sound effects & zooms are literally my sense of humour wrapped up, so I live for this stuff.

[@Rutgerman95]

The attack check bit about the Lost Soul made me wonder: do you plan on covering the differences in monster behaviour and properties between Doom 1 & 2 and Doom 64?

[@decino]

Perhaps.

[@AleksanderDrako]

1:36 Aww! That was so adorable and well done! Now I want to see mod with bouncing tomatoes

[@les_chegwin]

6:15 rather, "if the generated value is greater than *or equal to* the distance value, it will do a ranged attack"

[@les_chegwin]

ah fuck I'm a nitpicky asshole, it was clear what was meant

[@Mutant_Mods]

I love these videos! Nice Dean of Doom ref.

[@D0Samp]

0:49 Still a far call, but I almost expected a ROTT joke there.

[@luisroberto9416]

Loving the sfx's for some reason, its just so funny when decino does it

[@masterneme]

What is considered a monster step, whenever they actually visually step or is there a hardcoded equivalent in game ticks?

[@decino]

Look at the Baron at 2:02 and how it jitters forward. Each "jitter" is a step. Its sprite actually stepping is irrelevant.

[@masterneme]

@@decino So it's a game tick in which uninterrupted movement happened.

[@decino]

7:23 explains it best. There are 4 groups of enemies that move at a different rate, so it's not 1 game tic.

[@Slurpgerk]

Loving this new comedic editing you put into these videos.

[@Dragonoo1990]

8:25 Mt Pain 27 EasterEgg

[@marcelopardo4791]

It would have been nice to mention that from all the popular ports GZDoom is the hardest in -speed and worse in -nm mode, becuase it randomize table is much more prone to go to 0. But hey!, This video was all about the cyberdemon buttslap 2:51 Beautiful video as always!!

[@RowiDankelsaft]

I dont know if anybody told you, but i love the video editing, with funny sounds and tiny animations using the sprites. Not only youre teaching useful and interesting stuff but you also do it in an amusing way.
