we've talked about this sort of thing a few times.. anyway I finally tried out to play my hexen expansion and some doom2 wads and it was nicer than doom legacy (and zdoom sucks on linux so..). Specifcally it's better optimized so the lights look better, it has a particle engine so that things splatter more nastily.. rockets leave lingering smoke, there's some glow effects on projectile collisions, and textures are mipmapped so they look much smoother at a distance than with zdoom (which just does bilinear/trilinear/whatever(anisotropic etc) filtering). yeah |

im now playing medal of honor, which isnt too cool i think. but what drives me insane is the lack of light at times. i shouldve gotten a cheat for that but im almost done already |

man haven't you heard of screenshots??! lol yeah the source ports are great, i haven't tried jDOOM yet, but i have got ZDOOM on my PC and DOOM Legacy on my Mac (because Legacy is the only source port that is made for OS X also) at the moment i prefer ZDOOM, because it's ULTRA smooth on my system - i'm getting something ridiculous like 220fps running under my 6800 GT 256MB card! |

It only labels a win32 source package, but that's what I downloaded and compiled on linux. It uses SDL/openGL for gfx and other parts of SDL for a few other things, so it should be rather system agnostic. Actually I just looked, they have a page up about it: |

oscillik buddy, i'd be bloody concerned if your system wasn't running doom smoothly :-p |

They have support for 3D models: |

though for most monsters the 2D sprites look nicer. cyberdemon, for instance, is shitty. |

Cool, never heard of that one. I'll stick with zdoom because my computer is a fraaaagile ecosystem. Removing zdoom will be like removing an entire species lower down in the food chain, having disasterous unpredictable dominoe effects. |

you don't have to remove ZDOOM to be able to play DOOM using another source port - just copy the .wad file to the same directory as the source port, and it will run fine |

i may have to try this out |

correction #2: he knew that, it was a joke, same reason you missed my comment. yeah it's pretty sweet. w M w: zdoom is better for older systems; this thing really wants a newer machine.. I didn't know that at first the mipmapping is not so great actually, but the fucking rocket trails and ability to play hexen (I fucking love hexen) is key. it plays heretic maps as well |

id software stated they would like to remake the old games with the new technology. Hopefully, we'll see some Hexen/Heretic (the cross-bow owned) soon! |
||||||||

i thought their next project would be a totally new game (as in, not a sequel to the others) |
||||||||
|
|

It will be. But, the company can work on multiple project at the same time. They said they would like to take a little time here and there and rebuild some of the older games using the new technology. I would love that :) |
