Just what IS Zandronum, anyway?

[Mangetsu]

You can use Doomseeker, I thought it was pretty obvious since there's a post somewhere with the current version to use. And I bet it will have some twists regarding gameplay, but not too many.

I also request an example of resources that are "of incredibly poor quality"

^haha, good one.

It seems like some of the Doomworld crowd has taken an interest, good to see you guys.

Xaser! Make Parkour multiplayer-compatible! Think of the possibilites, man!

[darkhaven3]

like most of the mods was illegal, oh yeah, lets put the skulltag dud in the jail xD

Just because nobody's watching doesn't give you a right to steal, FYI

Hmmm... Not too bad, though rather tasteless. Thanks Igor!

Edit; Wait, who is that guy again? I think someone once said it was Carn. IGOR EDIT: YES

So I finally found this place. Let's get the obvious question out of the way:

Since this is basically a fresh start for the project, any plans to bring it up to par with ZDoom's current codebase? Just wondering.

Yes. AFAIK it is planned for future releases.

[Mr. Chris]

Will this port be kept up to date with ZDoom's updates as opposed to being like 100 revisions or so that Skulltag generally was behind?

What will be unique about this port that will set it different than Skulltag?

[Bloax]

Will this port be kept up to date with ZDoom's updates as opposed to being like 1300 revisions or so that Skulltag generally was behind?

Fixed it a bit.

[infurnus]

Will this port be kept up to date with ZDoom's updates as opposed to being like 100 revisions or so that Skulltag generally was behind?

That's what's in mind. We plan on doing that after 1.0 is done.

What will be unique about this port that will set it different than Skulltag?

It will not autoload skulltag_data.pk3 if that's what you mean
There's a lot of ideas going around, so I'm not sure I can give a solid answer to this. I'll think about this for our new FAQ, though.

[Mr. Chris]

@Igor

Wow, THAT far behind? No wonder some ZDoom maps don't play nice with the port..

[Springy]

Will there be a wiki devoted to Zandronum? Will there also be SVN builds planned or just official releases?

[Wartorn]

Will there be a wiki devoted to Zandronum? Will there also be SVN builds planned or just official releases?

We plan to migrate the old wiki once Tiger becomes available to clean it up. There will be SVN builds in addition to official releases.

[Nubcakes]

Before I forget: Will Zandronum still be multiplayer focused like Skulltag? The reason I preferred skulltag to all other ports was the ease it provided in getting multiplayer games going in addition to all the multiplayer goodies...

Edit: Oh and your title/avatar combo is hilarious wartorn

[Disguise]

Obviously, since it's a continuation of Skulltag.

[Twister]

Obviously, since it's a continuation of Skulltag.

Which in itself is branched off of ZDoom...

Dividing by Zero

Xaser! Make Parkour multiplayer-compatible! Think of the possibilites, man!

I was hoping for this too, I played it on multiplayer in zDoom once in plutonia and it was excellent.

Though, without a A_GunFlash("State") I can imagine how hard it would be.

[Nubcakes]

Obviously, since it's a continuation of Skulltag.

If it was a continuation of skulltag they wouldn't have ripped out the PK3 and changed the name.

[Zap610]

There should have been more to Skulltag than the pk3.

[Xaser]

Xaser! Make Parkour multiplayer-compatible! Think of the possibilites, man!

I actually had someone recently show me a mini-port of some of Parkour's stuff to Zan, and I don't think much would need to be stripped out to make it compatible.

The dualies may have to go bye depending on things, but most of the stuff is cosmetic (I Zdoom's THRUACTORS flag), if I'm remembering correctly.

[Tenchu]

Assuming any of the admins still have powers on the Skulltag forums, might it be a good idea to edit the Skulltag forums current message to something that redirects people here? If common everyday players who aren't too involved with the community go to the Skulltag forums and just see "Sorry this forum is currently unavailable", they're not going to know to go here instead.
