Revenants when the Doomguy is around them: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Fascinating. In The Crafty Titan's "Doom Hack" (aka Yukkuri Doom), the titular jelly-based monsters who occupy the Demon Spawn points are tiny and they jump up and charge, but affected by gravity. They are annoying but flimsy. One of their horrifying aspects is that they actually "die" and then "respawn" as a kill-worthy projectile based on the Revenant Missile Frames, which then allow them to spawn "Revenant Smoke", which is a version of themselves that is basically just a rehash of the Revenant Smoke that spawns from guided missiles. They essentially replicate themselves at about the same frequency as a Revenant's Guided Missile trick. They are horrifying when a group of them are attacking from a distance (still melee but from a greater distance thanks to the charge) or when they are replicating themselves off-camera while in-fighting another monster. This all done in DeHackEd, which still confounds my understanding because DeHackEd is not the same as ZDoom's Decorate and Z-Script Code languages.
Hey decino. just wanted to point out that you're mispronouncing the name Donoghue. Just put it in a google translate on English and listen to its pronunciation. It's quite close to what it should sound like.

So basically... 50% of the time there's a 75% chance of Revenant missiles being spooky... and 50% of the time there's a 75% chance of them being SPOOKY!

I know - I've only being playing Doom II since the day it was released and I never noticed that. I'm usually too busy running, revenants are hands down my most hated monster especially when there's masses of them in one place. Give me a cyberdemon any day.
@@greggoog7559 yup! This video introduced me to that concept too! I always imagined all their projectiles were homing, but that I sometimes stumbled into how to shake them off.

I don't hate archviles. They are fun, special, offer some tactical depth and force us to rethink our habbits and adapt. But I hate mappers who don't know how to place them properly. The problem is: the archvile is too sensitive to map design.

Hehe, so the Revenant behavior basically depends on whether he woke up with left foot (or the other one), or to paraphrase Mr. Callahan, Revs ask Doomguy "do you feel odd, punk?". :)
Revenant definitely spooked me as a kid. Still does. The sound it makes and the movement. Facing a creature like this in hand to hand combat in real life would definitely rattle my nerves. The strength this thing possesses can tear your limbs off.
Your videos are very informative and also hilarious. Like where you named the save game "LMAO" to demonstrate a flaw in the engine. Or where you were like, "Let's take a step back," and you made Doomguy during game play move back one step. I really appreciate how you actually go over the code itself showing it on screen.
Such a great deep look into the mechanics here. I always thought it was a 50/50 from watching your videos. I love that you came full circle with your conclusion, "It's all RNG, just kill the bony-bastards!"
First thing I did after waking up was watch this video. Being half-tired and with headphones on blast, the revenant at the beginning got me. 10/10 I always look forward to the next video. Never change, Decino, I love you
Okay this was really awesome to see! For what always seems like such a "simple" and "basic" game, there are all these tiny things hidden in there that we'd never know that add a lot more RNG, flavour, visual interest, and even challenge to everything in DOOM. How cool!
I like how, despite how you're diving us viewers into what many would see as a gibberish mess of C code, you take the time to go, "Well, this means (whatever in plain English)", or at least resolve the chain of commands and references until you get something to explain the plain English for... basically helps make the code less gibberish and more understandable to the average person, and even helps those of us who understand enough code to follow along get a clear "oh yeah *headnod*" when you go over it too.
I love just how unpredictable the topic of each new DOOM video is, honestly. Sprites, monster tier lists, mechanics a "casual" like myself had never even heard of (voodoo dolls, for example)...the variety's amazing. Like, I didn't even think Revenant projectiles were worth their own video; "they're just projectiles", after all, like many other demons have. But nope - you somehow made it quite interesting.
For someone who is interested in getting into coding, your videos have peaked my curiosity. This was so interesting see you dive into the code numbers to figure out their probability of being a normal or tracking rocket. Very cool!!
Brutal Doom fixes it by offering a huge speed and damage boost for unguided missiles. In general, unguided fire is better for suppressing (e.g. blocking a narrow passage). Too bad Doom AI doesn't know about it - monsters would only fire in your face.
It might be to instill a false sense of security? Like if it always fired guided missiles, you'd always be careful around it, but as it is now, there's a possibility that the player will be like "i'm going to bet that it'll fire an unguided missile" and get caught off-guard when they discover the missile's homing onto them. Not really that threatening, maybe, but the games were at least partially balanced around keyboard-only play. How often have you been able to circle-strafe without using a mouse or controller? EDIT: That said, I will admit that doing something to make the unguided missiles not just strictly worse than guided missiles makes more sense from a modern player and designer's perspective.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Betting and the sense of security is a good point! Also it works the other way around: if you bet it is guided and hide behind a cover to neutralize the missile, you'll likely get hit when leaving the cover :) As I'd said, a non-guided missile isn't inherently inferior to guided one (tactically). Mixing them is a special kind of threat. Non-seekers create a distraction and restrict your movement choices (pin down); seekers hunt you down if you decide to stay in a safe spot between non-seekers. One can get more damage when running away from seekers - and running into a pack of non-seekers. This reminds me of medieval tactics with spear wall and sword-masters rushing in between spears. Long spears are to harass and restrict; 2H swords are to finish off restrained opponents.
I have never faced a Revenant. I never want to, thanks very much. This video shows that the DOOM DESIGNERS were 100% AWESOME. And Mr decino really knows his stuff which is also far ken awesome.
That was brilliant! Without any coding experience and hearing it was down to a game tic, I figured it was 50/50 Conclusion: All spooky bois are going to throw missiles at you and become skeletons again, the dead variety!!!
I hope rapuhotelli upgrades his patreon subscription again. I always enjoyed decino pronouncing it at the end of his videos. (The name rapuhotelli is actually Finnish and translates into "crab hotel")
Thanks for the doot video decino. I want to add a few things I learnt from AcidGlow's video. Although Revenant's attack sprite has both launchers lighting up with fires, he only shoots one missile not two. Thank God. According to Doom 3's lore, Revenant's mounted missile launchers are connected to his nervous system. Thus he can shoot guided missiles and the missiles track you.
The way i like to think of it is: revenants are primitive, so if they get hurt, they go "hmm, regular missiles aren't working all too well. I'll try guided." And vice versa, lol
Never noticed the missile sprite looked different homing vs regular. I guess I had been following Decino's last word of advice all this time lol COOL STUFF 👍👍
When I was a kid - preteen - I was terrified of skeletons. No idea why. So the first time I saw a revenant in Doom 2 I basically hit the power switch to the PC and ran out of the room. In the years that followed, I had the doom 2 strategy guide and I'd use IDCLEV to skip levels that I knew to have revenants in, or maybe just play the game on a really small postage-stamp sized area in the middle of the monitor. I can cope with them in 2016 and Eternal just fine, but the ones in Doom 2 still make the hairs on the back of my neck rise.
I had no idea they could fire anything but homing missiles. I thought what makes a Revenant a Revenant is the fact that they always shoot homing missiles. Maybe I'll look this up next time I play the game, but I have only ever seen homing missiles.
Didn't knew the Revenant has non-guided projectiles... But I knew a save game trick with the 1.2 version of the original DooM: That version didn't save enemy activity states, so if I'm surrounded with enemies, I could hide into a corner, save and then load. All the enemies were in inactive state, except those who had me in their line of sight.
I'm about to start working on a throwback shooter game and the randomness of things have shook me to my core. If the game is successful, you'll have a shit ton of part in it my dude.
I mean... an entire video about Revenant tracers? Thanks dude. You make my nostalgic heart pump hot blood down my revenant legs. Or are these red pants?
The deep dive on Revenant mechanics was interesting, but now I'm curious if there's enough material there for an entire video on what quirks can make demos desync.
Your Doom programming analysis videos are one the best series in your channel. So I was wondering if you could analyze the source code and functions of other id Software games that have their source codes available to the public. Games such as Keen Dreams, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and Doom 3 (plus BFG Edition). Would also be great if you can do analysis videos for other Doom engine games with available source codes like Heretic and HeXen. Either way, keep up the awesome content.
1:50 just to clarify: (gametic & 3) doesn't directly check for evenness, but since A_Tracer is called every 2 tics there can only be two results:
Even gametics:
gametic 10: (10 & 3) returns 2 (Don't guide)
gametic 12: (12 & 3) returns 0 (Guide)
gametic 14: (14 & 3) returns 2 (Don't guide)
gametic 16: (16 & 3) returns 0 (Guide)
gametic 18: (18 & 3) returns 2 (Don't guide)
OR
Odd gametics:
gametic 11: (11 & 3) returns 3 (Don't guide)
gametic 13: (13 & 3) returns 1 (Don't guide)
gametic 15: (15 & 3) returns 3 (Don't guide)
gametic 17: (17 & 3) returns 1 (Don't guide)
gametic 19: (19 & 3) returns 3 (Don't guide)
Which means that tracers will guide every alternating state if gametics are even.

So basically the "75% guided missile" result is an XOR between the parity of the initial game tic and the initial Revenant tic.
It amazes me how intricate this game is.
The deep dive on Revenant mechanics was interesting, but now I'm curious if there's enough material there for an entire video on what quirks can make demos desync.

Your Doom programming analysis videos are one the best series in your channel. So I was wondering if you could analyze the source code and functions of other id Software games that have their source codes available to the public. Games such as Keen Dreams, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake 1, Quake 2, Quake 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and Doom 3 (plus BFG Edition).
Would also be great if you can do analysis videos for other Doom engine games with available source codes like Heretic and HeXen.
Either way, keep up the awesome content.
I was thinking to do some Quake 1 and 2 stuff too.

Running in circles with a homing missile is peak comedy
I love these deep dives. It's funny how interesting this old code is!
Great analysis.
It helps to understand how to make A.I. Characters for Games. Very interesting.
Thank you.
