>Orange Is True Love >Green soulsphere >A green soulsphere that replaces the invulnerability sphere, but otherwise functions exactly like the standard variant. Huh.>Since vanilla Doom defines item behavior based on the sprite name and not the thing number, this is achieved by switching the sprite number of the invulnerability sphere's states to those of the soulsphere instead, specifically the added green soulsphere animation frames. Huh. I never knew this.>The regular soulsphere is also used in the WAD but because of the changes to the color palette will appear orange instead of blue. I see.

Completely unrelated to anything actually Doom (though Hovertank 3D and Catacombs 3D is in here), but I found this big collage once of VGA titlescreens/artwork.I was annoyed at it being a huge ass .JPG or .PNG, then as I was panning through it one day, I realized that it's because it had some stuff which wasn't VGA but another graphics standard with more colors, and also a crusty as fuck and artifacted .JPG for one of them. Removing those, along with some duplicates, and I could massively shrink down the filesize by making it a .PNG with indexed colors.I finally found some screens to replace the gaps left from that so that it's complete. Or, at least close to complete, I suspect that there's some sort of subtle color differences with VGA depending on setup (maybe emulation), hence why some seemingly identical colors aren't 100% the same in some of these. Not sure what to make with that, but it's at least all VGA now, and it's a nicely color indexed collage in a compact filesize.

I feel Quake would benefit heavily from some sort of sniper rifle - something with range that isn't the rocket or nailguns to make dealing with enemies above you faster popping in and out of view faster.

Anon10/19/25, 13:16No.12110835

Overengineering Mania > Early Bird Catches the 17 inch Fromitz Board because OM didn't open a monster closet every time I found a Fromitz Board. It instead restocked the level with enemies when you got the next major unlock - which this map does too but I just am getting sick of it's gimmick and I am nearly halfway through it. I have a ledge that had 3 different ogre closets spawn on it. And multiple with two. And it's almost the same monster closet minus a few changes if I grab a Fromitz board from the same room.

Early Bird got better later on once I got the 2nd pair of jump boots. Feels like they padded out the first 2/3rds of it by repeating fights. And I am done with Alkaline along with my massive backlog of notable mods and mapsets of various boomer shooters that I established years ago and kept expanding year after year.

I'll be fucked if I can remember where any of the secrets are on this level, but I left it with zero survivors anyway. I forgot how the Shamblers don't have lighting attacks anymore too. Fun AI fuck up moment - A large fight in this room ended an one double chainsaw Ogre still stood with his back to me, staring at a fallen comrade. Perhaps he was contemplating the horror of war and what guarding this rusty old facility had cost him, or maybe he was accidentally coded to be deaf and I didn't enter his line of sight during the shootout.

I do wish they gave out the Cluster Mines more in Alkaline - either that or make it in a less hidden secret. I don't like watching youtube videos to see where all the secrets are. Prefer it in written format most of the time. Feels quicker. And since no Doomwiki outside of Doom I tend to not bother finding all the secrets. I've gotten better about not finding all the secrets on a lot of Doom maps too tho. Can't be arsed to go look for something after I have already completed the stage sometimes. Unless I want to see if I can get a mega armor or a weapon/backpack early.
