Doom Eternal Mods (One Month Later)

[@Dark_Jaguar]

My biggest issue with how mods work right now is that the content are "replacements" and not "in addition to". Things like skins shouldn't have to replace an existing skin and should be a brand new entry in the menu, and the same for new master levels and so on.

[@SR-388]

That's just sort of how it works though and I don't think there's a way around it, even classic doom mapping replaces the vanilla maps

[@Dark_Jaguar]

@@SR-388 I'm not talking about classic Doom, I'm talking about Eternal, and there's no reason they couldn't have set this up to allow expanding lists of costumes and levels. In fact, they can still do that. "That's just how it is" is kind of silly when the game can literally be designed to work any way they want, and plenty of games allow exactly that sort of thing. Bethesda games. Skyrim for example. You can add costumes to that game that don't overwrite existing inventory items but just add to a growing list of stuff in the game.

worst part is having to make a bethesda account. so many things want you to make an account now that i actively look for ways to hack past the login wall. for example i learned that if you replace the "x" with "xcancel" on a twitter url you can get past the login wall

I feel it better to wait a whole year if anything. Mod scenes have to build momentum - modders have to learn how to wrangle the game and mod tools, and then the process of iteration needs time to chain together improvements and expansions.

[@Kobalt_Rax_the_one]

Yea it needs time, especially when it is more complex and the tools are still in their beta preview. I imagine the full thing will be even more robust. Imagine in Starfield as well with the creation tools in time, what the modders will do there.

[@sunbleachedangel]

We can now officially say it- "Welcome to Doom Eternal Mod Madness".

[@ignacho1969]

I was there when the first ever Eternal mod came out. It was a single Taras Nabad arena and it was absolutely insane with no sense of balance whatsoever, but it set a standard, both for the difficulty mods would have and for the fact alone that mods like that were even possible for the game. A few months before official mod support was announced, there was a mapper that figured out how tu actually use game geometry to change the layout of a level to the point that it felt like a completely new experience. I can only dream what absolutely insane shit the modders will pull out once they learn and master the tools id gave them.

[@strikemanpop]

[@chuckingflem]

The custom levels will only get more difficult and more complex. They are not created for the "1000 hour Ultra-Violence" player. They are created for 2000 hour Ultra-Nightmare enjoyer. As usual, there are balanced and unbalanced versions to customize your CBT experience. Sometimes, all you have to do to make a level playable is lower your difficulty to "I am too young to die." In DOOM Eternal, Combat is the only thing that matters.

[@Amnu42]

[@RacingSnails64]

The custom levels are surprisingly good. My favorite is still Umbral Excavation, one of the first to be uploaded. Great encounters, great arenas. You start off with just the shotgun and collect the rest of the weapons as you go. I'm also having a ton of fun with the Battlemode Slaughter Tour, which takes every multiplayer map and turns it into an arena with a unique gimmick. Poison gas, walls that block off parts of the arenas, a deadly laser from the sky that chases you, etc.

[@toiletwineconnoisseur6434]

ok the "too many SSGs" super shotgun, is that just a skin, cuz it looks like it does the regular SSG amount of damage. 14+ barrels needs to be shredding the MArauder in like one shot. still looks absolutely incredible XD

[@antoniolewit7852]

thanks for playing my mods, a thing to also note is I have a suspicion that the downloaded mods don't automatically update. So if the ultrakill slayer mod still looks like he's looking for a fist bump whenever you pull up the heavy cannon you still have version 1.0.0 and you need to go to the mod page itself and click on the arrow next to the install button.

[@eyesta1ker]

A lot of people in the comments only know the top of the top Classic Doom mods, the pinnacle of 30 years of modding, and never heard about Terrywads and such.

This is awesome, more reasons to play Doom Eternal the better! It seems to have the same problem that a lot of classic Doom WADS have which is levels with a stupid amount of hard enemies just dropped on your head like "lol it's hard because lol". I'd rather have cool and interesting level design over maps which are made just to kill you.

[@bluerockcandy8344]

Amen, it's great to see modding is now a thing but what I'm really hoping to see in the future is some good new levels, preferably not designed by uber-masochists

Love your take on this, and it's refreshing to see another average player in action! Some of the new maps are cool, some of them are nuts, some weird, and I actually love Eternal for the platforming because it totally rules and I want to see modders go hard at that! Go ahead and throw in a bunch of cacos and stuff too! I think the mod browser should get big improvements because we are the testers. Overall, this IdStudio thing is gonna be RAD!

@@MrTheMasterX Yeah for sure. I don’t neccessarily think they are bad on their own. It’s just that compared to the flashiness of the combat, the platforming sections were like you said ”basic”.

I honestly don't think that the content is, on average, going to get any better. There will definitely be releases that shine and shine brightly, but to find them you'll have to dig through insurmountable mountains of trash and I have my own theory as to why that is. Since it's a sort of upload-and-forget system with the browser as opposed to the traditional forum-based releases of the older titles, you are more like to get scrub kids who after spending maybe 15 minutes in the editor and with the bravado of (anonymous online) youth think their worthless creations a work of actual genius will shamelessly release burning trashpile after burning trashpile because there is no wall of judging humanity there to take them aside and tell them "hey, what you've made is actually complete garbage and is not worth anyone's time at all". People who don't put a lot of thoughts into things like to hate on the concept of "gatekeeping", but the reality is that gatekeeping is essential to keeping communities at a certain baseline level of quality and if you throw that community component away and just let anyone in with no sort of social checks and balances it will quickly turn to majority awful. It's happened before, it will happen again and it's happening with this.

Making Doom Eternal play like Doom 2016 was exactly what I was hoping for

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

Well I really love mods and mod accessibility. Valve has always been the #1 example when it comes to official mod support, but there are some others that stuck with me as well. In the late 2000s, Super Mario 64 machinimas were popular on KZbin, and often used mods to reskin the game. In addition to this, I used to watch a lot of Yoteslaya & Meatwagon22 play custom moded maps on the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: World at War for PC. When I finally got my own gaming PC in 2015, I was able to play these modded maps, along with the Black Ops 3 custom maps which were even easier. Lastly, Halo Combat Evolved had an abandoned multiplayer-only PC port that modders took & brought back to life, making Halo Custom Edition. I used to play a ton of Custom Edition as a kid too, and even had my friends over with their computers to pay it. It was a ton of fun, and I loved the crazy maps like Coldsnap, Extinction, Hugeass, Hyrule Field, etc. I *love* seeing mods in games, and the more accessible they are: the better. Be they simple gameplay tweaks, lighting/texture tweaks, model replacements for comedic value, or even entire campaign overhauls with custom weapons/animations/voiceover/etc, I'm always down to see what the fans have made. Additionally, mods keep games alive.

[@Wobbothe3rd]

Id Software invented all of this. Half Life is a glorified Quake TC. I'm sick of seeing Valve get credit for what Id software did. People were making incredible Doom TCs in 1995.

I've thought about doing a traditional deathmatch mode with some neat little touches...maybe have low level enemies in the map acting as kind of roving health pickups and points to grapple on with the ssg...part of me wants to port my old Q3 mod (D2F) but to be honest I think a simple deathmatch mod would be more realistic

[@Sizifus]

Definitely the best is yet to come with modding scene here, but there is still much for id to improve in regards of how the mods are implemented in the base game. They need to let modding community flourish outside Bethesda's ecosystem.
