Brutal Doom is hilariously fun in Skulltag coop. It sucks when you die and respawn at the beginning of a sprawling level, but that's just an issue with 90's wads. Does Skulltag support checkpoint spawns for map makers like Sven Coop did?

I'm thinking of setting up a QuakeWorld server for goons, since it's most likely not very bandwidth-intensive. Any maps or mods that I should throw in? (I'm tempted to put Killer Quake Pack on, but that's kind of hilariously broken, so I won't do it without goon approval.)

Huh. They seemed to have changed the default automap colors in the newer versions of Zdoom. I managed to change them back to green and white like I'm used to, but the game shows undiscovered parts of the map as well and I would rather turn that off somehow. Any idea how to do this? There isn't a "transparent" option in the automap colors, so I don't know what else to do. EDIT: Nevermind. I made this post completely forgetting that I picked up the map computer in the level. There's nothing wrong with my automap

Man, I really wish zDoom would implement the netcode that Skulltag has. It's really getting on my nerves that Skulltag is based on such an old version and refuses to implement any of the significant changes in the code.

It's less that they refuse to, more that they aren't allowed to. Their fault really, they could be completely open source if they wanted but they're not confident enough with the security of their netcode.

They released the source to one version of Skulltag but good luck finding it since every link to it is broken. They're slowly porting features from zDoom into the Skulltag alphas but it seems like even the most minor ones have to be scrutinized and debated over. I mean, the expanded A_SeekerMissile functionality is something like 6 lines of code!

How do I use 10x.wad and brutaldoom.pk3 with Skulltag co-op? I can host a server just fine, with IWAD DOOM.wad and additional wads/files set as 10x and brutal doom, but it doesn't seem to be working. edit: nevermind, had to use the latest SVN revisions of Skulltag but 10x and Brutal Doom work great, even if 10x makes the last level of Knee Deep unfinishable.

Is there a way to get Steam to track my playtime with Doom or Doom 2 without having to play the basic .exe files? I want to use the launcher from this (or the last) thread, but I feel I might have to add it as a "non-steam" game, in which case I don't think it'll track my time. Ideas? Also, I think it would be cool if I could find a list of goals for Doom (like achievements); sort of a "Doom 101". "Complete E1M5 (or whatever) with a pistol start." Beginner, intermediate, and advanced goals.

I know it doesn't exist, but I wonder what it might consist of. I bet a lot of players would have a few 'achievements' that they are proud of. It'd be fun to see if I had any chance of repeating some of those.

Holy poo poo I had no idea about Brutal Doom until this thread, by god it's a lot of fun. Seeing all my old Doom monster friends eviscerated in such over the top ways followed with a smug gently caress YOURSELF is unbelievably satisfying. Shame it doesn't want to play ball with 10x Doom, I wanted to gib hordes of the fuckers.

Because yeah, those guys suck and are why I always remember why I don't replay The Reckoning pack more often. Ground Zero isn't as bad since at least all the new enemies look cool, but those loving turrets are almost as bad. Pretty much. I think I had a lot more patience for this poo poo back when I was playing Q2 for the first time (my first FPS, in fact). quote:...now talking about those add-on packs has made me sad though since we'll never receive anything like them again, just DLC that only has about a quarter of the cool stuff. You know what I really miss? All the crazy weapons. Quake 4 is the last FPS I remember playing with ridiculous over the top weapons. Even Singularity mostly just had generic bulletary weapons. I miss the railgun and BFG from Q2, and the spreadfire and fusion cannons from Descent, and the snarks and shockroach and acid spitting shoulder fish from Half-Life and Op4, and the Devastator and shrink beam from Duke3d, and the plasma rifle from System Shock... Hell, even interesting weapons seem to be thin on the ground these days. Duke3d had "mundane" weapons that could still be used in interesting ways, like the pipebombs and laser tripmines, but these days everything just seems to be "you point it at the enemy and damage comes out" with minor variations on accuracy and rate of fire. gently caress, now I need a cane and a lawn and some drat kids to yell at.

Oh you're right, I hadn't even noticed. 10x.wad itself isn't terribly complicated but I'm not anywhere near confident enough in my knowledge of this stuff to try and merge its actor spawn code into Brutal Doom.

I've been playing airquake and horrorquake with friends recently, but one thing bugs me. The font of the menus and hud in Darkplaces is a gritty, washed out mess, and I can't find a way to edit it through options, documentation or google. I'd like to be able to change the colors and textures, and maybe even the font. It's incredibly difficult to read. Any help with this?

Don't see how it could be hard. Just make your textures, put them in your own wad and make sure they have the same name as the texture they are replacing, load it up and voila. At least in theory.

Some source ports completely rewrite it to have proper looking tho.

Any source port can play level .wad files that are compatible with the base Doom game, I think. Many mods are made specifically for certain source ports, though, and ZDoom does seem to be the most popular source port to mod for. In any case, in the idgames level archive, they should say which source port any given level was made for (anything Doom or Boom-compatible should be fine with any source port, except, like, Chocolate Doom or something)

I am playing ultimate doom and using zdoom. Use GZdoom and enable the OpenGL render. It renders levels in 3D and fixes that perspective problem. Or you can really go classic like I do and disable the Y-axis altogether
