I just had to post... Love this level, but things like this often go under the radar. It's a Hexen inspired castle, with a variety of monsters from KDIZD, Doom 2 and many brand new. It has moody lighting and intricate detail throughout. Highlights include the hoard of new monsters, an unreal-esque mirrored floor, an interactive, macabre dungeon, and interesting finale.

Gameplay is v.good and the secrets (unmarked) rewarding. You should probably make sure to get the plasma gun amongst the towering stacks
of the library as it's sure as hell not easy. (I cheated a couple of times).
Game was played on skill 2 (out of 5) with GZDoom v1.1.4 (GZDoom 1.1.0 or
newer recommended).

I like Doom in all variants. 

Zpack has some good stuff, too (as long as one watches the difficulty setting): http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=15332 

Useful if it can become an all-round Doom reference in a digestible format. 

Just thinking about the numerous old school mods i tried...
007 License to Spell Doom http://zdoom.org/wiki/007:_Licence_to_Spell_DooM
Had some ace moments.
I've never seen any Q engine with this freeze command. Wahoo ;> 

ZDoom is like the Darkplaces of Doom, only more buggy.

The problem with the ZDoom extensions is that your wad will be tied to one engine, for better or worse. All your eggs are in one basket. This wouldn't be a problem if Zdoom was multiplatform and if it wasn't so sluggish.

A dedicated DOOM engine like PrBoom is often preferable. And now that the Heretic source is open,I guess it won't be long until a dedicated port pops up. Perhaps that will also benefit ZDoom.

Hm, ZDoom is aparently no longer in Gentoo portage. O_o It can't be that bad?! 

The Linux situation is pretty dire. The developers of (G)ZDoom don't really care about Linux too much and support is often broken. There are patches available as mentioned in the first post but sometimes I've had to go in and edit a snip-it of code myself to get things to compile again. Things like that make me miss binary releases.

I did hear something about ZDoom possibly moving from FMod to OpenAL which would cause GZDoom to follow suite.

Oh and the situation with WADs being (G)ZDoom spefic isn't really an issue as a good majority of the community use the engine.

ps. You might want to check out Skulltag, which provides online play (DM,CTF,Coop,etc) and is based off of GZDoom. The community there is surprisingly active and there's plenty of players and servers at any given time. It is closed source however but that just means you don't have deal with compiling. >_>

is at the certain bottom of a certain page, but is still there... 

Some nice wads I played recently.

D1 E1-style episode with incredible detail (love the shadows) and good gameplay. Highly recommended.

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. 

... use DoomLegacy instead !! 

use gzdoom instead ;/ 

.. and I persist: ZDoom sucks, please use DoomLegacy instead... you damn stupid Doom-ish player :P 

what's wrong with zdoom? i used it to replay strife a while back. what a cool game, btw... 

you damn stupid Doom-ish player :P
you may tell it to your wife/mom, but not me, you stupid horse shit lover... :| 

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. 

.. 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. 

I meant Claustrophobia 1024 of course.
