Serious Sam: The Retro Encounter is a fan made, freeware DooM mod that aims to recreate Serious Sam's gameplay and provide a balanced multiplayer and an unique Serious Sam style campaign.
SS:TRE was made by me and Duke_Nume in 2011, originally just as a tribute to the nearly-teased Serious Sam 3 Trailer.

I've Rebooted and reworked the whole game, fixing most of the flags, completely re-writing the story.

Well, after 2 months of hard work, the new version of Retro Encounter is officially out! The game now finally has a complete campaign with secrets and even a final boss.
I didn't test the maps on cooperative mode, but they should work. If something breaks just tell me and i'll do my best to fix it in the next version.
So, have fun, and don't forget to post your feedback!

Wooo Kleeeeers! :D
Wait... OpenGL? Why? D:

Aw opengl only?

I played this last night.It was a lot of fun.Are you going to add more sp levels? I really liked this.

Yea what exactly breaks in software that the wad has to be opengl only? I did some quick looks at the egypt maps in software sp and everything seemed ok. Sloped 3d floors?

The mod is playable with software, but everything looks rather ugly, starting from the sector colours, with greyed out maps, and things like 3d models and some blood splats will not show up.

This is probably a really dumb question but...
Do you only need the 2.0 beta or do you need to load both as well? If that's not the case when I load the 2.0 beta nothing changes, it just plays regular Doom.

According to the Grandvoid server that's running it, the only file you need to load is ss_retro_encounter_b2.0.pk3. And doom2.wad of course.

Love the mod and the especially the dm.
One thing though those hud weapons are way too screen filling, if the super shotgun reloads it blocks the entire screen. Maybe downscale em a bit?

Hmm... If it's running on the server maybe I have a corrupted file? Or would Zandronum spot this when it loads the file?

Try joining the server and find out! If it says "Level authentication failed" then you probably have a corrupted file. The MD5 of my ss_retro_encounter_b2.0.pk3 is 00aa7f55d86fd614b2770bf7ab0a07b3, by the way.

Yeah, I went ahead and re-downloaded it just in case and It worked. The original download was missing like 20 MBs but it finished anyways.

Wow I love serious sam, though More SP maps you be made, as there are too many dmatch maps.
