Blasphemer discussion

[Catoptromancy]

Here is a list of everything submitted so far that can be considered placeholders.

http://www.geocities.ws/catodemos/blasphemer/placeholders_001.txt

 

Working on tomed projectile graphics. There is quite a lot to reuse as decent placeholders. Maybe dip into freedoom's attic again.

 

Edit: Got tired of figuring out what is what. Going lmp by lmp through entire wad, see what I can match up with graphics already in use.

These sprites are not in heretic.wad

 

 

So ya, just went through wad and repurposed a bunch of stuff, lots of smile face placeholders are gone.

List of "new" resources:

Raw resources for dropping into the repo.

Updated test wad for anyone to quickly play stuff, includes everything I have posted to this thread. The texture1 was removed so it could be used with heretic.wad, so skies are broken again. E6M3 and E3M8 have test maps.

A lot of this round of placeholders look really good or very decent.

What about the Phoenix rod? The weapon looks like its shaped like a dragon head

[Cacowad]

I'm sorry, what do you mean? Are you asking if it was replaced?

[RonLivingston]

Yeah, I wanted the Phoenix Road to be a dragon head instead

This can work as a placeholder, but I am currently working on a full Maulotaur replacement that is hopefully more interesting and fitting the fantasy theme.

 

I stopped animating it manually and I'm making a 3D model that I can rig, and easily capture each frame from 8 static cameras. Much more managable than painting like 50 separate frames.

 

I just need to find time to work on it, I'm swamped with commissions (that I kinda need because I'm broke).

Looks amazing.

 

I wonder if all the models that are being made for capturing frames would also be released as models such that one could do a 3d monster pack as well for blasphemer using the original blasphemer monsters?

 

I wouldn't mind doing that 3d pack if all the monster models were made available to me... I have accumilated alot of experience with using MD3 Quake 3 models as 3D monsters in GZDoom

[MrFlibble]

Congrats on the new release!

[P41R47]

We can ask Ryath if he want to lend us his Unbeliever episode for Heretic to be part of Blasphemer.

Yet another update!

Chocolate Heretic Blasphemer Version 0.4

https://www.geocities.ws/catodemos/blasphemer/binaries/chocolate-heretic-plus-sbv4.patch

Mouse control from the menu is back!....and functional. Will not crash either. Once slider reaches its maximum it can still go much further, though does not visually move anymore.

Binary should not crash while using blasphemer as iwad and no pwads.

Please report crashes, or oddities with exact message or description. 

For pointing me in the right direction, Source and credits go to: https://github.com/JNechaevsky/russian-doom/commit/d380b40d142173d00797bb8fd5f2af43351826c3

 

 

All my patches also work with chocolate-doom source archives. Just rename the directory to "chocolate-doom" or "chocolate-heretic-plus" for patch to work.

Linux binaries of the sbv3 patch. Downloading chocolate-doom from your distro's repo will bring in all the dependencies for running these binaries.

Map Tester and Editor Version:

I could not figure out any way to make a .hhe patch to make cheats 1 key presses for map testing, so:

A patch for map testers. It is the .sbv version but cheats are 1 key presses now. Scroll to bottom of patch to see what was changed. Can modify which keys you want before patching as well.

E1M1: http://www.geocities.ws/catodemos/blasphemer/maps/e1m1_e7.wad

Spoiler

E1M1: I have skill balanced, playtested in all skills to max stats, and added DM items and spawns to E1M1. I think this is a perfect first map. While not much in height variation while fighting, it does have some. Three monsters are introduced in this map. I added a golem to the second room right under the stairs. I thought the earlier introduction was nice, instead of in the same room as 4 warriors at once...also their introduction. There is another reason I thought it was a good idea to add a second monster in the vanilla part of the map. Vanilla will crash halfway up the stairs, now someone who happens to load up blasphemer in a vanilla port can see two monsters...maybe influence them to upgrade their port. Skills 2 and 3 normally balanced, and I hope the DM placements are ok. Everything can be adjusted after some online playtesting.

 

This post and the one above I will keep updating as I balance/fix more maps or make changes to the patches.

IDK if it was made this way on purpose, but the firemace replacement doesn't seem to be aligned to the center like most other weapons. I've seen it happen in pretty much all ports (I tested it in Dsda-doom, sprinkled-heretic, GZDoom and ZDoom)

[Catoptromancy]

I wasnt sure about that one. It has a big chain to the side so autoalignment lines up the chain making main part offset. It does line up while shooting.

What version of DSDA are you using?

I cant play in the last version.

The latest release, I renamed the wad to heretic.wad to play it since I don't think it identifies Blasphem.wad as Iwad

[Oplexitie]

Just wondering, would this work has a replacement for the Iron Lich ?

I've been working on it for a few days, and I don't know if its a good fit for Blasphemer.

I'm kinda worried it looks too colorful.

 

[MrFlibble]

It might be too colourful indeed, as it reminded me of KENBUILD textures instead. But I kind of like the design. Bring it on!

[Cacowad]

I'll agree with MrFlibble. Are you using the Blasphemer palette as a base by any chance?

i like it!
Strange looking, but looks cool.

Just re-palette it with Blasphemer's palette with slade and it will be totally cool.

Sorry, I don't really understand what you're asking me.

I used Slade to convert my images to the Blasphemer color palette (I hope that answers the question ^^').

 

[Cacowad]

Yes, that answered my question, thank you.

 

[RonLivingston]

This looks good for an iron lich in blasphemer, lets take that

[xvertigox]

I'm playing Blasphemer for the first time. I'm using 0.1.7 and I noticed that the Gargoyle replacements death frames are not offset correctly resulting in the dead body appearing too far away from where the monster died. It's an easy fix, I'll look at doing it today after work and I'll upload a wad with just the modified sprites.

 

Example (ignore the palette) you can see the frame directly before the first death frame is a completely different spot.
 

Spoiler

 

[Cacowad]

Hello there, it is an easy fix using the assembly tool, there is no need to manually modify the offset. Thank you for the report!

[Catoptromancy]

While the target port is still heretic-plus, Sprinkled doom is the next closest port in compatibility that is also portable and can run on many modern systems natively. The latest release of Sprinkled Doom bumps the solidseg limit so it is now Blasphemer compatible.

[RonLivingston]

Any updates of Blasphemer? Like new sprites? New sounds? New Maps?

[Catoptromancy]

BigprojectAlone deer demon was replaced by Rei's Ghoul as the mummy.
The deer demon can now by found in the Attic for future use.

Rei's set include a proper death animation that replace every part of the mummy's, wich was previously missing.

[AxelMoon]

Looks pretty nice! Gotta say I'm happy this is slowly coming together.

I'm gonna have to look into making more sounds, midis and whatnot then!

[Egregor]

Here are some arches to match some dark grey walls for the blasphemer texture set. I noticed they were missing and asked @kwc to make the edits. Here is an isolated archway for further edits as well:
