I remember Rayman's DOS version having a pretty similar effect when quitting the game. The pause menu also features some nifty destruction animations (kind of similar to Death Rally's). The more popular PS1 version of Rayman didn't feature those menu effects though.
This reminds me of how I felt playing shareware Doom episode 1. I kinda liked how after going through what felt like a really gory game (especially for 1993) the end of a level or the starting of a new game felt like the game was wiping all the demon blood and guts off Doomguy's helmet or your monitor. Like it was just saying "look how nasty this game is, we have to clean it up for you between levels."

It’s getting to the point that I’m learning things about Doom that I didn’t even know I wanted to know. Awesome! It seems like most source ports adjust the speed at which the melting columns *lower* to make it consistent with vanilla Doom, but what’s interesting is that it’s not adjusted for 640x480 in Doom95, so the effect takes about twice as long from start to finish.. which sort of builds up suspense, lol. It’s the only port I can think of where the lowering speed of the wipe effect isn’t (obviously) adjusted. The vertical offsets also are only “half as intense”, in other words the downward streaks are still only getting a 16 pixel offset relative to a 640x480 image rather than a 320x200 one. Doom95 clearly didn’t bother to adjust the effect accordingly for different resolutions!
In order to make the melt effect work at any resolution other than 320x200, it really needs to pick 160 points, then use interpolation to pick every point between. That will give the same overall pattern, but look much better at a higher resolution.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine To be fair, Doom95 had one purpose, and one purpose alone: proving Doom could run natively in Windows without booting to DOS. It was one big "look gamers, our platform's good for you!" and I'm not gonna argue with the results.
@@thewhitefalcon8539good question! probably so that demos still work properly, they might bake the seed into the demo or something like that, so there's still more unique randomness, but not breaking another feature as to why i presume the seed was static in og doom in the first place
One small detail not mentioned here, about ZDoom ports specifically, is that all of the three different wipes (melt, burn or fade) cause a few lost frames after the transition is finished. It makes it all feel more sluggish than it should and it's especially bad when you consider hot start maps, enemies can fire at you before the game even begins rendering gameplay, which is fatal for a cyberdemon or mastermind hot start. You can work around it by opening the pause menu or console dropdown during the transition, to where your input is buffered until the very first gameplay tic, allowing the renderer to sync back up. Either that or you can disable the wipe effect, though you will still get a short pause as it loads.
@@ademkapovskic8106 Definitely the most important shortcoming still in GZDoom, never mind the horrible lack of optimisation, features literally nobody asked for and dear god the bugs, none of that is important though. Just fix the screen wipes and GZ will be perfect. c:

@@ademkapovskic8106 Mess about in the display options --> OpenGL options, it'll be something in there (Sector Light Mode 'Bright' I believe, unless they've changed that, which they do sometimes)
@@ademkapovskic8106 I was semi joking about the bugs but across both Windows and Linux I've found a few weird things over the years like unexplained crashes, the great memory leakages in various 4.x versions, broken Fluidsynth/Timidity (Fluid is entirely missing on my current Manjaro Linux install and Timidity has issues with off-key notes, this is a 4.8 beta build but it's happened before), Vulkan causing a black screen except for HUD and weapon sprites (I know Vulkan runs fine on my machine, I can play Doom 2016 with it no issue), I could probably keep going but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Sure it's no Sonic 06 but I haven't had the best of times getting GZ to run as it should.
I remember reading somewhere that GZDoom couldn't recreate the screen melt effect due to the difference between the OpenGL it used and the original Doom renderer. So it had to use complicated hacks to simulate the effect.
I'd assume because Doom's original renderer operates with simple pixel commands and OpenGL operates with triangle primitives. If you are good with shaders you could probably recreate the melting pretty easily on the fragment shader with some clever tricks + "discard" fragment shader command to reveal the underlying new screen. Another way you could do this is by constructing the correctly sized stripes using quads (2 triangles each), render the screen to framebuffer texture, calculate proper sampling uv offsets for the quads and render the framebuffer texture on to the quads. Then start animating the position of the quads and by now you should be pretty close to some melting screen action. When you do it this way, it's a matter of throwing in the z-coordinate and you can start to do all kinds of crazy 3D screen transition effects where the stripes fly in to your face for example. It's kinda sad that these screen transition effects seem to be mostly thing of the past even though they are not really rocket science in comparison to all of the other graphics rendering algorithms and tricks that the games themselves use. Doom had them, Rise of the Triad had them and even the PS1 demo discs had them.
@@meanmole3212 you could do it with a compute shader i think, failing that, ping-ponging a fragment shader between two different framebuffers and simply layering the foreground (the "last written" of the two framebuffers) and background with alpha would definitely do the trick. doing it before GL core profile would have definitely been a pain in the ass though.
Fun fact: There's a bug/quirk described on the Doom Wiki that when ending a level with a sector type 11 exit (like E1M8), the health in the status bar appears to jump up because the melt effect is interpolating from the frame prior to the exit.
Cheers for upload decino I did always wonder how it worked anyway I hope you're all good and look forward to seeing the next level play through. Cheers decino
The ''uuuuaggh'' at the beginning got me. Nice touch there. Thanks for the dedication you put into teaching us about DOOM. I appreciate it being funny and meaningful.
I've slowly gone from watching your analyses to your outtakes videos to actually watching your runs. Like seriously all the stuff here is so high quality
Loving these deep dives. Have you considered doing a video on how come the shotgun can shoot through multiple layers of zombiemen, but not multiple layers of mancubus/bigger enemy/whatever? Keep up the awesome work!
Really insane how my older brother and i have been playing Doom 1 and 2 since 2008 when we were 8 years old, your channel taught us a lot of useful details about the source ports and Doom itself! Thank you a lot, Decino!
Back in the days, the melt screen felt creepy for me (it reminded me of the scrolling wall texture with the faces -gelatinous). But it's kinda goofy for me now. Either because of maturity, or because I was already exposed to more modern horror visuals? (Kinda like how the Exorcist and Doom's gore was scary as hell and controversial for people back then, but yeah, we have Brutal Doom now)

Thanks for sharing this and many other technical details! That's still some impressive genius detail, and to think that for them it was just like "hey what if we do the screen melts as a transition? -yeah that would be cool."
Knowing how Doom's melt screen works also makes a great way to out cheaters when you don't have a demo. Cheated RNG tables will show in the behavior of the melt screen.

I've always thought that the wipe screen is very cool and satisfying to watch so thank you mr. decino for sharing this one to us :) and yea i see that this video is about minecraft
Awesome! Incredible! Perhaps one more video, this time with description of general structure of source files, how to read them and where one can find interesting code to hack with?
I am still amazed and wondering how John Carmack did it on the hardware of that time. Today this effect would be done with shaders, but John didn't have those luxuries. He also didn't have anyone who could assist him, as he pioneered most of the stuff he developed. He couldn't just hop on stack overflow and ask a bunch of people or even find tutorials on TH-cam. Truly amazing genious.
Back then GPU's didnt had 2d/3d acceleration nor shaders, all graphics operations were done by the CPU, so Carmack had to assign a framebuffer for rendering then copying it directly the GPU VRAM. .
You should pin or feature (or whatever it is) the analysis playlist. These videos are so great and informative, and it can sometimes be a little tedious to sift through the many gameplay videos and playlists to find it.
I get the impression that some of your Patreon supporters pick their nicknames specifically to be as ridiculous as possible to hear you read them out loud with a straight face. AGONIZING RECTAL PAIN
*_BU'LEGHHHHHH_* But seriously, I like DOOM 64's "fully realized" take on the screen melt. Especially when restarting after Doomdude dies; it's like his vision is washing over with his own blood as it fades for the last time. And GoldenEye for the N64 would come out the following year… I wonder if the melt could've been inspired by the James Bond movie intros.
I love how you break down things we just dont tend to think about or take for granted, and then dive into the details of how they work. Keep it up decino😊
Your videos are always so interesting and well explained :) I remember in some source port (I think it might even have been an early ZDoom?) that they said they would never implement the screen melt because it was a "raster effect" and was impossible to replicate. Have you any idea what they might have been talking about - how writing for a Windows graphics system might have stopped them from using the screen buffer in the way you described?
Not related to Windows. It's how OpenGL uses triangulation or quads to render planes. It's tricky to project the screen onto a plane which is then sliced into columns that move down. It's definitely possible though.
I know this isn't your thing but I'd love to see you go over things in a doom editor such as changing monster wake-up noises, changing the music for a level (I don't mean by using idmusxx), making all monsters random, or putting doom2 monsters in ultimate doom. Thank you for another great analysis video :).
This only shows what a technical masterpiece this game was. There was nothing like it at the time and it was a huuuuge step from the previous gen games. Carmack must be an alien, or something.
I love your Let's Play of Doom's source code. I don't know if it's within the scope of your interests, but any thoughts on also doing some analysis/explanation on some of the main features of limit-removing ports? Not the scripting features, but how they handle fixing engine limitations compared to how the vanilla engine handles those routines.

Butcher has it, wonder if the code is similar.
Doom 1 & 2 obviously, but do the Hexen or heretic games use it? What about offshoots not directly related like Dark Forces use
Doom 64's got it at level's end somewhat. It's not a true transition since it fade to black in order to view the end of level stats.
Peter I really like Analysis 03 it's a great midi!

Not related to Windows. It's how OpenGL uses triangulation or quads to render planes. It's tricky to project the screen onto a plane which is then sliced into columns that move down. It's definitely possible though.
Yet another great explanation by decino
Agonising Rectal Pain must be an OG
Decino is going to make doom analysis on everything whats next? *HOW WAD FILES WORK?*
I know this isn't your thing but I'd love to see you go over things in a doom editor such as changing monster wake-up noises, changing the music for a level (I don't mean by using idmusxx), making all monsters random, or putting doom2 monsters in ultimate doom. Thank you for another great analysis video :).
Rats, I wish I would've thought of this earlier: making all of the level music Augmented Borealis ;), no but seriously I would love to do that.
Now THAT is an educational video. Subscribed.
XD Did Decino just give me a big McThanky from McSpanky?

How DooM titles work
Good video that one more minute adds some important information to understand better this feature.
I've always kind of subconsciously wondered what was under the hood so-to-speak for the melting screen
i feel bad for the Cacodemon, my bro was minding his business in the title screen then became tomato sauce
This only shows what a technical masterpiece this game was. There was nothing like it at the time and it was a huuuuge step from the previous gen games. Carmack must be an alien, or something.
I'd be great if you made a Playlist with all the doom analysis vids.
This guy probably knows every individual 1 and 0 in the games code.
Seeing those yellow thumbnails my heart is also melting.
I just fear you are getting closer and closer to having explained all there is.
I love your Let's Play of Doom's source code. I don't know if it's within the scope of your interests, but any thoughts on also doing some analysis/explanation on some of the main features of limit-removing ports? Not the scripting features, but how they handle fixing engine limitations compared to how the vanilla engine handles those routines.
I second this, I'd love to see what makes other engines able to do so much more and why they often work so differently in their subtle ways.
