Other sourceports

Romanov77 · May 17th, 2005, 10:36 AM

Ive always thought that Doomsday is the best, and i still think that....

However, I wonder what does all the other sourceports offer that Doomsday cant?

Harry · May 17th, 2005, 10:39 AM

Basically its really just 3d floors and slopes, and for Doom the more complex ACS scripting(which will be added in hawthorn I think)

ace · May 17th, 2005, 11:36 AM

Doesn't Doomsday support 3D floors, though? Other than that, slopes and scripting. ZDoom and Legacy have scripting and ZDoom has slopes.

The Undertaker · May 17th, 2005, 01:35 PM

Not a true 3D floor (well as true as it can get in a 2.5D engine). Just a hack like Zdoom.

Romanov77 · May 18th, 2005, 04:48 AM

Which one has the best graphics/models?

(Jdoom I assume)

Harry · May 18th, 2005, 07:33 AM

Definately jDooM

FreeLanZer · May 18th, 2005, 09:00 AM

Yes jDoom is the best but why does some people play Legacy or ZDoom...?

Darmuss · May 18th, 2005, 09:56 AM

ZDoom,Skulltag, Edge, and Risen3d are all good ports. Each with something to offer.
I frankly can't understand why people need to choose favorite ports.

just use them all.

micr0korg · May 18th, 2005, 05:17 PM

Still... none with online play for their mac versions...

DistantJ · May 18th, 2005, 05:28 PM

I use ZDooM when I feel really 'retro' because it can use the FM chip to play the old DOS midi music, but that's pretty much the only time I use anything other than Doomsday. I like Playstation DooM best anyway and Doomsday achieves a much closer feel to it because of the lighting effects and stuff. And the smart texture filtering just looks damn sexy. XD

DaniJ · May 18th, 2005, 07:16 PM

DistantJ - If you enjoy the "retro-pixelated-look" bring down the Doomsday console and enter lowres
(Optional - set your resolution to 320x200 and disable models/particles etc for the "complete experience")

BTW I'm sure there is a sound driver somewhere on the net that allows you to use the FM sound chip in all apps under XP. You can then tell Doomsday to use that sound driver to get the same sound as in Zdoom.

Doomsday 1.8.7 cometh soon...

What other source ports support beyond Doomsday... -- Strife!

Well, okay - that's even beyond DOOM (I/II).

Zdoom can do crazy things if you have the time and ability to implement them

But Zdoom hasnt Dani J666making uber-models

Chilvence · May 21st, 2005, 03:19 PM

Well no, but the primary aim of it was never to look good. For everything, there is a reason

Captain Kirk · June 13th, 2005, 06:03 AM

Doomsday is my choice.

I won't look another sourceport.

Ninja_of_DooM · June 13th, 2005, 06:21 AM

That's very small minded of you.

Captain Kirk · June 13th, 2005, 08:20 AM

I don't think so. While other source-ports remain stagnant and archaic, Doomsday will continue to advance rapidly. Pfffft, Doomsday is the best. Swear allegiance to Doomsday mortal

Darmuss · June 13th, 2005, 10:26 AM

hehe

Fanboyism for individual ports is possibly the greatest single threat to the future of the Doom community. It leads to pointless "wars" and overall disenchantment.
