r/DoomMods

I apologise if this is a common question in the community. I couldn't see any recommendations thread / sticky about it.

I recently played through MyHouse.wad and had an absolutely fantastic time with it and it really opened my eyes to what is possible with such an old game series.

I've watched some YT videos about Doom mods but I prefer to hear suggestions from real people plus I have a specific caveat that I'd like to make.

I would like to know the best/most suggested mods but from WORST to best. Essentially I'd like to save the best for last as to avoid other mods seeming worse by comparison if I play the best ones first. I know this is probably a highly subjective opinion based question but regardless I'd appreciate the communities input and recommendations all the same.

does the doomworld community just like playing the same old thing?... ive noticed anyone that does something new and outthere doesn't get much but "you should do this instead, but nice in the effort" ...saw that on a tc that's never been done before...my house.wad was top, the dudes behind it had a good laugh until ones ex wife doxxed the actual house... the approach should be the love of the hobby, but I'd think I'd be a soul sucking kinda hurt to work for yr or yrs on a silly mod then get next to no feedback, guess im just ranting on its weird what works, hollyweird.

I just downloaded GZDoom and the Doom 2 WAD. I downloaded the LitDoom 0.5 and the 0.95 with the Knee Deep in the Dark map pack (pk3 file).

Doom 2 vanilla works perfectly fine, but that’s about it. Both versions of LitDoom won’t let me fire or reload, and the later version with the nicer menu flat out doesn’t allow me to do anything at all upon picking up a weapon. I get an error message in the top right corner about an infinite weapon loop or something, but it disappears before I can finish reading. Trying to load the Knee Deep in the Dark map pack just gives me an execution error.

I am trying to play on a controller and am completely new to Doom mods. I didn’t think it would be this difficult. What am I doing wrong?

Howdy,

I am working on a project, it's been quite some time, and I have played some WADs in my lifetime, but, I was never a fan of MIDIs. Sometimes, they are good, sometimes, they just grind my gears. Still, I would rather have a normal, non-MIDI soundtrack.

I have a bunch of a favorite games with some excellent soundtracks (namely Command & Conquer, Worms Armageddon), but I obviously don't own any of them and I don't have any rights to use them.

Would it be possible to simply get my thing (when it's finished) uploaded to idgames or wherever you release WADs with the music that I want? Or will it get rejected flat out and I'll get into some murky waters?

Because I thought about it and I don't want any legal trouble, it's obviously not for profit, but still, it's someone elses property that I want to use.

I could ask the original composers for a permission, but, somehow I doubt that they will reply positively, or at all. And I think the music really adds to the atmosphere.

Also, another question, if it's a game soundtrack, and I edit it and rearrange it (not a remix/reimagination, no changing the melody, I'm not a musician or a DJ), does that constitute a remix and is that then fine to use? Under fair use or something?

Anyway, thank you for replying.

Is there a mod where you can only use pistols but there is a variety of pistols and different modes for those pistols?

What it says on the tin ig. I love the katana cowboy trope but I can't find any mods for which is Uber weird. Does anyone have some suggestions?
