XausF1 posted:Speaking of Skulltag, why the hell aren't you guys actually utilizing it for what it was meant to do? i.e. multiplayer  I play a fair bit of skulltag, but attempting to host a server of any type through this thread alone has met with abject failure pretty consistently. I chalk it up to busy dudes simply reliving the single player aspects of the classics, not to mention most of this thread lives half a world away from each other, so getting a number of goons on one server at one time isn't going to happen. As to why we don't talk about it more, that's because most skulltag wads (and servers) are terrible.

While I'm talking purely about interest in the games hosted, the hosting issue a lot of people seem to have stems from ISP's blocking specific ports entirely. I was completely unable to host skulltag games until I moved from Cable-One to Qwest. I'm definitely down to get more skulltag games going. It seems a lot of people maintain a strictly fleeting interest with any custom wads, but I'd love some classic deathmatching again.

Is there anyway to set it in Brutal doom so that you don't automatically switch to the chainsaw when you run out of mini-gun ammo? It's got me killed many a time.

He looks to be using a Panther XL: Or more likely its predecessor, the Assassin 3D, if that was even out in 1996. The concept is sound enough, using an analog joystick for movement allows you to move smoothly in any X/Y direction at any speed, not just combinations of north, south, east and west at either walking or running pace. Just like with modern consoles' dual analog sticks. I think Half-life actually lets you move significantly faster than walking speed while still being completely silent if you use an analog stick for movement. That's a pretty nifty advantage right there. I stumbled across a forum of trackball+joystick FPS gamers a while back. Most of the posts consisted of whining that no modern games supported true analog movement, since I guess Half-life was the last game to include it.

Best bit about the video is the John Carmack - I know this man has had a major role in not only creating some of my favourite games, but also the genre, but I can't help but laugh at how fully he embodies the nerd stereotype in the way that he dresses, talks and behaves. It's like watching Prof. Frink from the Simpsons.

I seem to remember that there was a guy that worked at Gamespy/Planetquake that 1) used a joystick and a trackball to play and 2) got sponsored as competitive player by Mad Catz to use their Panther XL... even though he played with a trackball in his RIGHT and the joystick in his left (which is opposite from how the Panther XL is set up). He beat up newbs pretty well, but never competed at a high level at tournaments or anything. Edit: Now I think he was lying when he said he was sponsored... I think he was actually just going to this event and trying to get Madcatz to give him 10K. http://www.newworld.com/press/press26.html He didn't win.

It's like watching Prof. Frink from the Simpsons. If you've read Masters of Doom, this really reinforces what the author talks about in his description of John Carmack, especially the "mmm" sound he makes when he finishes talking about an idea. Carmack is on the top of my list in terms of favorite figures in the gaming industry, but he really embodies "nerd" in the older videos. Also, is that Killcreek Case in the early part of that video? I know she was around during the Q1 era.

OneEightHundred posted:Of all the quirky poo poo about the dawn of shooters, the length of time it took mouselook to become standard continues to make the least sense. It is a matter of communication, or rather, the lack of it. When Quake first came out, relatively few players had access to the Internet, and they had all come from playing Doom and Doom 2 and Duke 3D using keyboard only (and doing, what they thought, was awesome skilled gameplay). As soon as the way to play became big LAN parties and over dialup (when Quakeworld took off), everyone got owned by some guy using a mouse, and the knowledge of how to do that just snowballed. It didn't help that you had to actually know how to bring down the console and type +mlook to get it to work how we all take for granted now.

Yeah, I didn't know about strafing/mouselook/WASD till my friend showed me Counter Strike. Doom, Duke 3D, and Quake was all arrow keys Ctrl and Alt for me. Something I'm not able to recreate now.

Well if there's enough interest,there's no problem in restarting. Fridays proved to be a pretty good time,so we could try a few probationary doomdays to see if there are enough people around. I could try hosting and if that wouldn't work out and nobody else would be able to host, a university in here actually has dedicated adjustable Doom servers,so we could try that.

I just posted a thread over at Doomworld about an incredibly obscure 1997 2.5D rail shooter from China called A.D. Cop, which I found on an old CD full of Windows 95 multimedia software.    Despite being a rail shooter rather than a "real" FPS, it turned out to be a whole lot more Doom-related than I was expecting. Check it out if you like knowing obscure Doom-related facts or reading about cheap Chinese DOS games that nobody knows or gives a poo poo about.

^^^^ Ha, I remember going back and playing some earlier shooters with a mouse but it was stuck in the mouse up = forward movement. I had no idea how to change it back then so I ruined a bunch of mice and spilled a bunch of coke all over my desk.daft punk railroad posted:I just posted a thread over at Doomworld about an incredibly obscure 1997 2.5D rail shooter from China called A.D.

I will ask if it's playable through DosBox or is it more complicated than that. I love learning about and playing obscure old games like this.
