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 ,

Not ZDoom-exclusives But Still Great

Some nice wads I played recently.

Par: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=11822
D1 E1-style episode with incredible detail (love the shadows) and good gameplay. Highly recommended.

10sectors contest: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=10973
D2 megawad, each map uses not more than 10 sectors in total. Neat stuff, kind of like 100b.

2sectors contest: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=13939
Even more impressive. D2 16 maps with lots of trickery.

ZDoom Sucks...

I think you just lost your sense of humor playing too much with ZDoom :P though... and please don't talk about my mom/wife, you don't even know her... and you don't want to know her...

I love ZDoom. I don't like GZDoom. Always gives me problems that ZDoom doesn't have.

Yeah

#17 posted by stevenaaus on 2009/07/16 01:40:31

.. as if compatibilty/compilation/sound-api isn't bad enough, some mods require either gzdoom or zdoom.

I finished the 10 sector wad. All maps rocked ('cept map31). The first time the cyberdemon shouted his appearance i shit my pants.

Horse Shit

Knee Deep in ZDoom is I think, the greatest doom mod ever, next to The Ultimate Torment and Torture.

Whats yours?

#33 posted by nakasuhito on 2009/07/19 02:11:12

knee deep in zdoom looks amazing and has a lot of awesome little things, but i don't think the levels are that fun to play though. i got lost quickly and very bored after a while.
