The D64ifier CORE v1.05 file

Thank you! Haha yeahhhh... very very true. I have a day job that requires I show up to the office though so I at least am forced to go outside twice a day. :)

It isn't corrupted, but fonbok is right - for some reason Windows can't extract the files inside, but 7-zip can. I'll make the next one with the Windows built-in option instead of with 7-zip, and that should solve that problem.

When it comes to command line parameters, spaces are viewed as separations of the parameters unless they are within quotes. So you have 3 options: 1. Drag and drop the files onto the gzdoom executable, 2. change your line to gzdoom.exe "D64ifier CORE.pk3" "D64ifier Flashlight.wad", or 3. change the filenames to replace the spaces with underscores ("_"). I will make sure the spaces are replaced with underscores or are just removed when I do the next upload.

Awesome glad to hear it! Stay tuned. They are coming after I get the weapons, monsters, and music modules added. :)

Actually it's YOUR right to decide. Music module now available in the addons section! :)

Yes NashMove is indeed the movement mod included. The goal of The D64ifier is to not just make the game look and sound like D64, but also to feel like it, so NashMove seemed like a good fit since the movement was much less slippery and fast in Doom 64. But NashMove might also be going too far in the other direction... so I'll have to ponder that a bit.

Glad to hear it! The Monsters and Weapons modules are finally ready (took an extra day or two longer than I expected), so I'm about to get them uploaded and then it'll just be 12-24 hours for them to be approved.

That does make sense. The D64ifier has a "menudefs" lump, which means any other mod that has its own may be at risk of having it get overwritten if you load the D64ifier last. You can try loading Brutal Doom 64 after the D64ifier and see if that works, but I don't know what kinds of things Brutal Doom 64 may overwrite from the The D64ifier.

I think I might do some sort of separate movement/realism module and move NashMove over to that. It would also include Immerse (footsteps, weapon bob, camera tilt), slower movement in liquids, and I was thinking maybe headshots and critical strikes when attacking an enemy from behind that hasn't seen you yet.

Hmmm so if two mods try to load at the same time that both have NashMove then they cancel each other out essentially? That's a bummer. I'll have to check out Nightmare Logic though. I've never heard of that.

I'll try to look into why the options aren't showing up in the menu. Hopefuilly it is something simple.

Weapons, Monsters, and Music modules are all now available in the addons section. :)

Core first, then addons, and then addons for addons (like the alternate monster appearances addon I just uploaded for the monsters module) is the general rule. Monsters, Weapons, and Music can all go in any order though and it won't matter.

AH DAMMIT. Because I'm an idiot? lol - Thank you for notifying me. It has now been re-added.

Hey there - I'd recommend either adding the files in to the ini file as auto-loading files if you plan on this being your primary setup, OR if you like to change things up frequently, grab a front-end like Doom Loader, Doom Runner, or Arachnotron, which makes it easier to set up multiple mod files to run in certain orders. Either way, they should end up being listed as the core module first, then the music, weapons, and monster modules if you're using them, and then anything else after that. If that doesn't help let me know a more specific description of the trouble you're having and I'll see what I can do!

Have you gone though everything I put in the "Recommended Settings" section of the readme and the description above?
Brightness, Gamma, and Contrast should all be at the default 1.0 to prevent dark areas from being too dark. Gamma can be increased to 1.20 if everything is still too dark. Video should be set to hardware renderer; not software. Sector Lighting mode should be set to Standard, Bright, or Doom Legacy if you have a darker monitor, and "Dark" or "Doom" if you have a brighter monitor. Avoid "Build" or "Software" as they will cause certain visual effects to not work. Make sure dynamic lights are enabled or you'll miss out on a LOT.

Thanks!
1: hmmm... 20 is Gotcha which is fairly simple, and 30 is the Icon of Sin which is even more simple, so that is rather perplexing... What about maps 28 and 29? Any slowdown with those? Because usually if I get any slowdown, those are the two that I get it on. Or what about map 24 - Chasm? If you also get slowdown on that then your problem may be large amounts of liquids.
2: It will in v1.0 of the weapons module when I eventually release it. ;)
3: I feel like I had a reason for that but I can't remember what it was now. I'll look into it.
4: Do they? I'll check on it when I crack it back open to work on the next update for it.
5: What original sprites? Dr. Pyspy's? I did apply a bit of warming tone to them because I liked how it looked.

Thanks for the feedback! Always appreciated. :)

Are you using the latest version of GZDoom? You need version 4.6 or higher.

Well you have to do more than just having the mod files in the same folder as GZDoom. In fact you don't even need to have them in the same folder. What is important is just that GZDoom has some way of knowing that you want it to load those files, as well as the order you want them to be loaded in. This can be done in a variety of different ways, and it is up to you which way you want to do it.
You can edit the GZDoom ini file's "autoload" section if you think you're not going to want to change things very often after getting it set up (so this is a good long-term solution). If you're pretty sure that you want the D64ifier to act as your "default" setup, then I would recommend doing this. YOu want to look in the folder that GZDoom is in for a file called "gzdoom-(your name).ini", right-click it, and open it with Notepad. THen look for the section that says "[doom.Autoload]", and right under that section add the following lines...
PATH=./D64ifier-CORE.pk3
PATH=./D64ifier-Flashlight.pk3
PATH=./D64ifier-HiResTex.pk3
PATH=./D64ifier-MONSTERS.pk3
PATH=./D64ifier-WEAPONS.pk3
PATH=./D64ifier-MUSIC.pk3

(I know you didn't mention having the weapons and music modules, but I just figured you might get them so I added them to the example as well).

Adding those lines to the ini will tell GZDoom to always load those files, from the same folder that GZDoom is in, in that order every time any Doom game is launched.

Hope that helps!

d64sounds? I think you must be confusing that with something else because there's nothing that goes by that name here. Sounds are just included with whatever module they are related to.

The torches with the particle flames? Those are actually from Super Doom 64 and I am fairly certain they were created by that mod's author, StrikerMan780, so he is who you would want to credit for those. :)
Which reminds me I had accidentally left him out of the credits file in this mod, so I gotta add him in there!

Interesting - of all the things I'm surprised the DPWipe shader would cause a compatibility problem. What needed to be modified in it to make it work?

Yes! I have a note reminding me to fix that on the next update to the weapons module, so that will be taken care of......... hopefully soonish? I don't want to say this weekend because any time I say something like that it jynxes it, so we'll see.

Oof... that would be tricky... a lot of the atmosphere is created thanks to things that are specific to OpenGL and GZDoom, like the ZScript and dynamic lights. No promises, but I'll add it to the list of possible things to give a shot at a later date.
