It's still under construction, although work seems to be focussing mostly on the Daggerfall mode at the moment. The Dark Forces mode is already playable. I really hope he releases the source code, I'm worried that life will eat him and the project will die.

You can use the $DOOMWADDIR environment variable to set WAD directories that most source ports will look in automatically. Makes things easy to organize and saves on having a separate set of IWADs for every port. The reduced clutter from keeping WADs and source ports separate also means that it's less of a big deal to keep the WADs and text files together in case you forget what something is.

Just install this bad boy and you shouldn't have any problems. Also going to reiterate that Thief 2 has a massive following of mappers that create awesome levels for it. It reminds me a lot of Doom just for the sheer scale of how many missions exist for it, and the fact that people are still making innovative things with it even today.

I have to admit, it does look better without the texture filtering. It's hard for me to explain why, I guess mainly it's because the texture filtering just makes things look blurry.

FitzQuake is no longer updated but Quakespasm uses fitz code as a base. You can also run quakespasm in fitz mode by using -fitz in the command line. In that comparison he has a screenshot of a map "starkmon" which I decided to play. Its pretty good. Stark Monstrosity

In my experience, turning on anything Polymer sends performance completely to poo poo even on a high-end gaming machine. Enabling 3d models seems to be a performance hit completely out of proportion to the number and complexity of the models involved, too.

Can someone suggest some old school fpses like SS2 or DOOM that have multiplayer or co op over lan to play with friends? SS2 is pretty boring so far. I'd like to hear some other suggestions for co-opable fps games. Nothing more recent than SWAT 4 ought to run on all our computers.

Or Serious Sam Second Encounter? If the former, then I'd recommend trying Second Encounter... my group enjoys it. Left 4 Dead (1 or 2) might be a little out of your hardware range, but maybe not; it's surprisingly scalable. Descent 2 perhaps? It possible to do Quake co-op, especially using newer engines, but out-of-the-box that is a bit easy and janky. We've used a mod on a local QuakeWorld server to improve things; I'll dig that up later and edit it in here. It's not got a lot of long-term playability but it's good for a laugh. (Of course Quake/QuakeWorld is good for "normal" competitive multiplayer, as long as no one gets really offended when they lose 50 to 0.) We probably spend most of our FPS time playing Quake 3, and most of that in Rocket Arena. Edit: For the QW co-op we used mvdsv (as the server binary) with the exCoop mod: http://goqsane.info/coop/ JLaw fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Nov 25, 2012 |

Anything that runs in gzDoom can be played co-op, I think - not just Doom, but also Heretic, Hexen, Strife, and so forth. All of the Marathon games have co-op via Aleph One, and I believe most of the fan-made campaigns like Rubicon support co-op as well. Half-Life has Sven Co-Op, which lets you play through the main game in co-op and also has a lot of fan-made co-op campaigns (although many of them are poo poo). Descent Rebirth supports co-op in both D1 and D2. I'm told that Unreal supports co-op via mods, but have never tried it myself. quote:SS2 is pretty boring so far. What is it like, not having a soul? Does it hurt? Johnny Law posted:What does SS2 stand for here? Serious Sam 2? Or Serious Sam Second Encounter? If the former, then I'd recommend trying Second Encounter... my group enjoys it.

Kind of a silly request, but anyone remember how to make brutal doom run in steam with the time tracking and all the usual features? I remember having to edit some stuff, but when I launched doom2 through the standard steam install of the game, it would automatically go to brutal doom rather than dosbox

Is it fairly possible to make custom WADs with, say, all of a given designer's maps for Doom or Doom II? It would make it easier for me to get a better idea of some of the more famous designers' maps by playing them all in one go, I'd think. Are these available anywhere, I wonder? For instance, "Dr. Sleep" has 8 or 9 maps that he calls 'cantos' which are spread over a few different releases.

It's very possible. All you have to do is open each of the maps in SLADE3, then make a new .WAD file, copy the maps into it, and then rename them in whatever sequence you want to play them. You can even make a MAPINFO lump with proper level names and custom skies and music and whatever if you're playing with (G)ZDoom.

Make sure you copy over all the lumps for a given map, though. Generally a pre-ZDoom map will look like this in SLADE3's lump list:pre:MAP01 THINGS LINEDEFS SIDEDEFS VERTEXES SEGS SSECTORS NODES SECTORS REJECT BLOCKMAP
