I assume GZDoom can be launched via Steam, so I can still have the IM UI?

Should be possible, but if you're launching via QLGZD, I'm not sure if the Steam overlay stuff will work.

I tend to play with it windowed at 1280 x 720, so it's not an issue though.

GZDoom works fine with the overlay, I usually launch it through Steam and have never had a problem.

But does it work if you launch it via Steam launching a third-party launcher?

It works fine running it from Doomseeker so I don't see why it wouldn't.

Looks like I might be getting a master server timeout. Anyone know how to fix?

All you need from Steam is Doom2.WAD - just drop that into your GZDoom directory (get the latest build from here) and that'll do all the work for you. Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strife also work, but Doom 2 is the requirement for most mods.
You shouldn't even need to do that. ZDoom is smart and powered by science, and should auto-detect your Steam installs of those games and use the WADs from that.

This is what it did for me. My posturing was unneeded it seems!

Incidentally I just shot an Imp in the groin and watched him scream and trash as his internal organs bled out of the gaping wound. I do enjoy this mod. :allears:

This is sad, they're youngsters that started to play FPS games with Halo and call of duty and know nothing about being a badass and plain fun. These are the people that just poo poo every real weapon video in youtube with their "videogame knowledge" or like this, puke nonsense on forums. :commissar:

It makes me happy that no matter how many rear end in a top hat "new generation" FPS people appear and play classics and try to poo poo them up with gun nerd stuff and trying to make things "more balanced", they'll never touch Quake 1 because of how unbalanced and unrealistic it is. A multiplayer game where an "unrealisitc" weapon (The Rocket Launcher) completely dominates the game would make them poo poo their pants and never play it again. :unsmith:

Part of the reason I've laid so much gushing praise on Brutal Doom is that it actually improves the balance of the Doom weapons in really logical and carefully tested ways. Doubt you could much change it from how it already works without breaking something badly. Only tweak I'd make would be having the chaingun spin-up altfire automatically cancel if you try to move.

I should send those guys my old DeHackEd patch where the BFG was rapid-fire and did not consume ammo; where the plasma cannon created a slow-moving wall of death; where the chaingun fired so fast that it would “overheat” (euphemism for drop frames, so it failed to fire after a while); where the rockets didn't move and instead acted as sneaky sneaky air mines; and where the double shotgun fired so fast and has such a spread that a Cyber Demon died in half a second if it was standing within 10' or so, but where even the lowliest zombie soldier would survive forever at 20'… :D

That was a challenging mod to play with.

Sounds a bit like The Blessed Engine.

I'm running Brutal Doom with GZDoom but for some reason I've got no hud/status bar

Is this normal or is there some weird setting to get it back?

Running 1920x1080 open gl mode, if that makes any difference.

Dude has an amazing radio voice, which makes his utterly goofball sense of humor and penchant for breaking games horribly all the funnier, really.

If I remember right, he was one of the folks behind the infamous 'Deus Ex: Sunglasses At Night' unwalkthrough, too.

He is, along with the Hacker's Guide to Sin and similar anti-walkthroughs for Arx Fatalis, several of the Ultima games, and others; his website is here.

The Blessed Engine is not his only Doom-related thing, but it's probably the most interesting.

Bollocks to you guys. South paws are a minority that don't get represented very often, so I choose to stand by my belief. :colbert:

On that note I found a fantastic PSX Doom wad, and other than being a little buggy in places - jesus christ was Doom really that dark on the Playstation - and some of the Doom 2 monsters not spawning as they did in Ultimate, it's a lot of fun and makes me feel really nervous poking about in the levels - the music and extra lighting/sound add so much. Then I just tear poo poo up in Brutal Doom and laugh maniacally.

Is there, however, a way to get the PSX levels and sounds through Brutal Doom? I've been looking around but not had much luck. For all I know it's technically impossible to combine these two things, but I really don't know much in that regard.

Should be doable, if you set the load-order in QLGZD so that Brutal Doom comes first, and then any PSX stuff comes after.
