Auto Aim

I remember as a kid I thought the game knew where I look, so if I look at the monster hard enough and squint my eyes, my weapon will aim there.

It made me very uneasy seeing that E1M1 door open

“Deep Into the Code”...you don’t choose the pun life, the pun life chooses you.

You forgot the part where the code knows when I'm trying to snipe an enemy way up high and decides to just turn autoaim off for just me.

Doomguy is so good he doesn't need to look up and down, he just aims his weapon up and down without looking at the sights.

decino just keeps getting better and better at this video-editing shenanigans.

Surface level: doom is a raycaster with varying floor heights Under the iceberg: whatever this is The abyss: doomguy's neck is broken

shootout to that guy who named themselves "agonizing rectal pain" for Decino's Patreon role. You and I went very similar directions with that sentance.

"Let's dive deep into the code" Me as soon as Deep into the Code starts playing: "THANK YOU" Me as soon as its shushed away: "Aw..."

I'd like to think that 90% of this video's development time was spent on the intro. Epic. 😉

"we couldn't be assed to spawn missiles at a correct height right away so we just increase revenant's position and revert it back after the missile is spawned teehee" - John Carmack

Ah the yellow background. It fills me with joy to find out what things this masterpiece of a game has. Also just get good lmao.

the revenants firing missiles higher most likely because they used to actually visibly "jump" when firing in earlier versions

Rocket Launcher's autoaim awards you a trip to scam city

Nothing in this life, before and after, could have possibly prepared me to see Doomguy doing the default dance.

The best part of these analyzer videos? Listening to decino read the names “agonizing rectal pain” and “beaks make me coom” with a serious tone.

0:28 My brain wants to unsee that door opening

That intro was fantastic, I love how much you care about making these videos

4:55 i love how unamused decino sounds, as if he got desensitized to AGONIZING RECTAL PAIN.

Damn, I never knew that decino's kickin' MIDIs is why Doomguy can't look up or down! 😂

5:45 “uwu deciwo senpai” Xddddddd golden

This, this exact thing you showed at 2:54 is why I strictly never shoot rockets while next to walls.

The Demented Cartoon Movie's explosion doesn't get love like this anymore. "Zeeky Boogy Doog!"

That intro was legendary.

That intro was pure gold. "And that's why Doomguy can't look up" Started the day with one big smile.

Beaks make me Coom has been an absolute legend for a long time.

As a doom keyboard only player, that moment of the revenant with the autoaim is just accurate

2:45 what the dog doin?

given the quality of the auto aim I don't think his weapons are too magical

4:28 laughed way too hard at that damn lost soul

It is absolutely fascinating to look at how such simple code created such a masterpiece of gaming history.

doomguy dancing and breaking his neck made my day

Woah decino even making banger tracks for doom now? That shits neat

3:06 it's embarrassing how many times I've died to this 🤦

Never thought of Doomguy getting his neck broken, but it does make sense why he can't look up and down, sometimes

"The longer Decino make videos, the stronger he will become" Awesome vid mate!

There's something amazing about that rocket hitting the floor animation xD

Uwu deciwo senpai. Your shoutouts list never fails to make me laugh haha.

I've always wondered how the auto-aim works, but I didn't expect to laugh so much while learning about it! Great stuff, decino. PS. How can we listen to Dial 5 in full? 🤘

Decino WAD video: I sleep Decino video with yellow background: r e a l s h i t

0:34 doom guy: and I’ve never been so fucking humiliated in all my life!

4:04 - really interesting, even though it looks like a simple hack fix there could be more to it. I wonder if the little jump the revenant does in the Doom 2 beta versions was actually an accident? Or whether this code is a leftover from that, because they realised it made the missiles spawn at a more realistic height?

@4:30 everytime I hear the 'Wheee!' I can't help but imagine a poorly drawn animation of decino going down a slide.

Hey Decino, these analyses help me greatly to understand the game. I think we would all appreciate it if you made an analysis on Doomguy himself. How fast he is, how his acceleration works, how Doomguy bots don’t have to stop before doing their attack, how noclip works, Doomguy’s size in relation to what he can fit through, etc. Thank you so much for the amazing video quality and effort.

This analysis was................. right on target 🕶.

I love that there can be the weirdest, most outlandish patron names, and he still says them. My favorite has to be agonizing rectal pain and “uwu, decino senpai!”

Requested this analysis a year ago. Didn't really expect you'll do it. Thanks for taking your time!

Great intro. And now I understand why stairwells make lost souls into lightspeed mosquitos.

Let's all appreciate the beautiful intro pumpkin man has made for us

That was the most epic intro ever.

*rocket has Auto aim and it hits a solid surface* Big smoke:"I got caught in the money, the power."

4:30 The monotone "look at him go, wee" still gets me everytime I watch this.

So glad you did an analysis on this topic, it's been a total mystery to me since I started playing! Especially how BFG tracer's work, confused myself many times trying to think about that one

You can't just NOT upload or otherwise give us a way to listen to DIAL 5 after showing us it exists, decino!

GZDOOM has the smart autoaim setting defaulted to off. Better off turning it on. Imagine the deep height projectiles on fast monsters.

I thought the Cyberdemon was badass enough, but you're telling me he launches all those rockets from his groin?

Your videos are just so good, I love learning more about the original DOOM games.

Love the explosion from The Demented Cartoon Movie at 2:20 :)

I have waited for a tiny analisys of this, and that wait was worth every second, thanks decino!

The starting door opening is something I never wanted to see

I had no idea the horizontal auto aim only had one angle for aiming slightly left and right.. Also at 4:10 we can actually see the Revenants "hop" like this in the Doom 2 Beta versions.. Weird that code technically made it into the final release, I thought surely it just spawned their rockets higher and that was that. Great stuff as usual man. EDIT: Also, that "Y" joke at 4:00 was terrible. It cracked me up!

Y 😂 Interesting quirks about projectiles, thank you for the education. And that track of yours is a banger!

I love how all the zombies just disappeared when the BFG9000 shot

Imp: haha lol noob you cant hit me im over you Doomguy: Are you sure about that?

Now we know why good old Doomguy doesn't look down and up and how he use his wepons with no issue well kinda but at least we know it XD

I like my reward of hearing you say the second to last patreon’s name for sitting through all of the patreons

2:19 Wow. I haven't seen that explosion in years. Haven't watched that Flash movie in years. I feel old now.

"Look at it go! Wee!" My love of GMod animation made me laugh WAY too hard at that Lost Soul going bananas.

Another awesome intro for a very interesting video! I always noticed the offset of the rocket launcher and wondered why.. Thanks!

*1:38** "DANCE, FUCKER, DANCE!"*

The intro is a masterpiece!

I have been working on porting doom to Unreal Engine 4 recently, and these analysis videos have helped a ton with understanding how some things in doom work. And they are just plain ol' entertaining to watch.

0:19 The fortnite dance on the doom character... I’m done

I was introduced to Doom in a new light because of the community, because of creators like you decino. I just want to thank you for making such good content in this otherwise forsaken platform.

I always knew there was deep lore to doomguy's inability to look up or down.

One of the best examples of what decino is talking about is in the secret level called Pharoah. A cyberdemon appears on a thin high ledge moving from left to right and is at just the right distance to make hitting him with a rocket tricky. Long distance shots are all but impossible and close up shots mean you risk some hefty splash damage. It's best to stand back and use hitscans in this particular case. Another interesting note is the original level was unbeatable because the map makers forgot to add a YELLOW KEY which had nearly a dozen triggers, including an immediate crushing ceiling! I spent hours looking for a button lol!

this video having one of your own MIDIs in it is super sweet considering I only learned about your contribution to No Rest for the Living's community score a day or two ago. I had no idea you were a freakin' musician, Decino~!

Always love when decino pops into my notifications

I love after seeing such a well put together and intelligent video, i get to hear decino then say "agonizing rectal pain".

Decino makes comfort videos. Stuff that I watch and then I feel better about everything. Enough said.

best doom intro I've seen

These keep getting more hilarious!

>yellow thumbnail background >instant happiness

Best channel man. Impressive how this 30-year-old game never ceases to amaze me with technical stuff. I hope you'll never run out of Doom content

2:03 what the

3:55 ROCKET C**K

noone: absoloutly noone: Decino: *DOOG PLAYING DOOM*

That intro segment was hilarious.

0:17 damn he's feeling himself. Great moves doomguy, but we already knew that didn't we?

So in summary... print("auto aim") is how they do it, right?

You know, I really like how you show the songs you play during your videos. Its really considerate.

Your Doom videos are super interesting especially for people who are obsessed with Doom like myself haha. Also 1:49 with the BFG and zombies... super satisfying

it makes the game simpler for people that never played a first person shooter or any game before, but its still flawed

0:46 lmao

OMFG! Romero and Carmack are two geniuses! This is still being played today!

that nuke animation when explaining the projectile thing at 2:20 was great

3:18 - what do you mean "do dey use auto aim?" The word is they. THEY. TH. TH. NO foreign! That's a BAD FOREIGN!

1:26 When you say the player's shot z value, you mean the distance between the player's gun and their feet, right?

that intro was art

I caught the Zeeky H. Bomb reference and I appreciate it a lot.
