Func_Msgboard: ZDoom Stuff

Posted by stevenaaus on 2009/02/01 02:09:21

ZDoom forums are such a mess... so this thread is for news and other stuff about the project, and to link to the occasional epic mod that floats along, such as Knee Deep in ZDoom http://kdizd.drdteam.org/
and Torment and Torture http://zdoom.org/wiki/Ultimate_Torment_and_Torture .

Just some background info in case anyone's missed out. Zdoom is a highly customized Doom engine written by Randy Heit and having a GL fork, GZDoom. Enhancements over Doom 2 include immersive cut-scenes, 3D worlds with jumping and swimming, removal of most Doom engine limits, translucency, a powerful Quake inspired console, screenshot tagged game-saves, and support for all Doom engine games including Doom 2, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife.

It does have it's down sides... the worst of which is a very dynamic api where three things come to mind: It uses the closed source (and ever changing) FMOD library for sound and music; Randy occasionally makes disruptive changes of his own; and the GL features of GZDoom mean mods will often only work with either GZDoom or ZDoom. Did i mention Linux support is an f-ing nightmare. See these forums http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10436 ,

Ozonia is pretty amazing stuff.

And am halfway through it's predecessor, exomoon, which was a bit slow to start but is still a blast.
