And with Doom's birthday comes The Cacoawards, now under new management. Alas the Worst Wad and Mockaward categories are gone, but in their place is a new category for Gameplay Wads, to allow wads that do something other than provide new levels a chance in the spotlight. (The winner of the category was obvious this year, and for good reason).

Under new management, but it's still Doomworld - only one ZDoom wad worth mentioning all year?

There's been plenty of years where the majority of wads are Zdoom ones...it just so happens the author felt that there were more quality standard Doom wads released than Zdoom ones. I really don't see it as an agenda against Zdoom (and I love Zdoom, every one of my favourite doom mods is for it)

Plutonia 2 is a few years old now, but I don't remember posting about it. It's a fantastic megawad for Final Doom: The Plutonia Experiment, that follows along the visual themes of that mod.

Yup. I'm not a huge fan of the original but this is a really good sequel that outclasses it in my mind for the most part. Gusta's maps in particular are really solid - I love the "get dropped into immediately hostile territory" opening style where you have to move quickly to avoid getting caught in a crossfire.

Since we're gonna play online let me suggest people download IDE to use instead of Doomseeker because it seems to work a lot better at this point and hits the same master server and everything. For example, Kazvall's server is actually visible in it, and the search function works too.

Memorial seems cool though I don't know if we want to play Doom 2 again. Also the music doesn't seem to work in Skulltag and other parts may be broken too.

I've been a fan of Hard Doom in the past but they've added some new stuff since and I'm not sure how it is anymore.

Oh, we could play Stronghold, which is very good. 150MB though.

Yesterday I was cruising through Skulltag servers and found whatdafuck05.wad which is terrible but also kind of amazing.



And speaking of terrible but amazing wads there's a version of Resurrection of Doom2 that supposedly runs in Skulltag though that wad tends to being my own computer to its knees and I suspect that it would murder your server. Sure wish it would work though because I love the poo poo out of it. Also it would probably need to be uploaded somewhere so that people could get it with wadseeker or whatever.

Which would you have mentioned, then? There was a nominations thread open to the public all year, and pretty nearly everything that showed up more than once or twice in it got at least some sort of mention.

The Stronghold server isn't on Stronghold maps, it's on Doom 2 maps which isn't right. You need to change it to "STR01 - INTRODUCTION"

If you get an error the first time you try to connect try again, it worked for me the second time. But yeah, wrong map.

edit: just found the map vote function, fixed it. Guess we're gonna play Stronghold if you want to join!

The stronghold server needs to change some flags.

Infinite ammo breaks the game (infinite mines, infinite rocketlauncher, etc.) so that needs to be off.

And for some reason, biogenetic upgrades you buy don't work. Though items you buy stay in your inventory.

Just two quick fixes.

This post contains the server variables and the bugfix addon that you need Kazvall. It does need to be in Survival mode.

Sorry I hosed it up. I could have sworn I set it to survival before leaving. I thought infinite ammo would be good, but it broke the game as well, eh?

If you think that's good wait until you play it. The second map is awful but the way the third stage starts is probably one of my favorite custom Doom things ever.

Could someone point me in the direction of a great Doom wad - just good design, fun fights, etc. Nothing that's 'you have one bullet per imp and lots of annoying door/switch puzzles'

Gameplay mods are cool too, if they're worthy.

I just dusted off my ancient wads, I'd like to induldge in some nostalgia for an evening, with a fresh set of maps.

Doom The Way Id Did is out! It's a full, three episode tribute to the original Doom, attempting to carefully emulate Id's mapping style as closely as possible.

I agree. Every level started with a load of telefrags and on levels with teleporters you could expect even more.
