Doomsday

[Koen]

Hey! I've found a project (most of you maybe already know, but for me it's new) called DoomsDay. They've now made doom compleletely 3d using openGL. Including 3D models for monsters and items + extra things like barrels, pillars etc. Lights are enhanced, and you can play multiplayer over the internet. Although there aren't any public servers yet (anymore...).

The site of DoomsDay is here:
http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

BTW, you'll need your own wad file though (doom.wad or doom2.wad). Playing shareware is also possible using doom1.wad! You can also play heretic or hexen with this program!

I remember talking abput the Doom openGL mod. I red something in a PC game magazine.

I finallly found out how to use 3d models!!!

Here are some screenshots (all from doom 1 level 3):

And some from doom 1 level 8:

Yeah, and it's only 22 mb :)

(2 mb for the program, 20 mb for the 3d models...)

Ah! Downloaded it some months ago! Had a great time running through both doom I and II over a cuople of weeks. It's two really great games! Both the maps and atmosphere were so cool. And the music... About 15 years later I still can spontanously start to hum on some of the tunes... :whistle:

There's also work on porting the original Doom levels to Doom 3. Haven't downloaded it yet, but it looks fun: http://cdoom.d3files.com/index.php?page=news

It's not working. I installed it, and I can get to the main screen, but after trying to start a new game, the menu disappears, and nothing happens...

There's a FAQ about that. You need to open the console window (Ctrl-Alt-~ on my keyboard, use whatever is under Esc on yours) and type "map e1m1" (no quotes) to start.

It's tough -- the level is Doom 1, but the AI is Doom 3. I got killed early. :cry:

Better gfx need better cpu :P

I run it on a 350 mhz machine with ease, but I don't know what your sys specs are...

It's fantastic! Just a re-make of the old doom! I hope they'll finish this project, and make all doom levels!!! Waiting for multiplayer :P
