Zandronum

To celebrate 20 years of doom we will be mixing the old with the new, so Alien Vendetta - a flawless megawad imo and HR2 (made to add onto the 32 AV maps) with Term's class mod Samsara. I have e-mailed John Romero and the last I heard was "I'll try to do this." So hopefully he shows but if not please enjoy all the same.

Version required: Zandronum 1.2

IWAD: doom2.wad
WADs: Alien Vendetta, map 20 fix, Hell Revealed 2 (Supplemental), Samsara v0.31 beta

1. it bugs me that the "IWAD:"text is not bold, when the "WADS:" text is. Yes, I am a nitpick sometimes.

Though I think this might get 64/64, good mappack, samsara, text colors... probably the three of the most popular things you can find for SNS.
I am unsure if I can make it, it really, REALLY depends on the school situation.

Should add damage factor or it's too easy.

Are you going to include av20,wad, which fixes problems with AV's MAP20? Also, I have a zip file that has alternate versions of several more AV maps, but I don't remember where I got it from. I am hoping that somebody else knows where to find it, and how to make the individual wads available to wadseeker and getwad.

Damage factor of 2.0 should do, even though it'll still be a bit easy

Damage factor of 1.5 is already very hard, 2.0 it's kind of crazy. Just try to play AV in single player setting sv_coop_damagefactor 1.5 and see how long you last.

or you could just make it nightmare difficulty, then it might actually be beaten for once.

Is the full house 64 player limit serious? I'd imagine that to be an unpleasant clusterfuck that's not gonna impress your guest if he shows up (or anyone for that matter).

It is some crazy doom carnage, as long as unblock players is on and some damage/health/monster multiplier is on Romero wont give a fuck (assuming the server can handle it).

10x.wad would be excellent for this, i can imagine all the WTFs that will come from it hehe (protip: if it is your first time to use 10x.wad, then play with chillax)

10x + map26
watch as everyone gets kicked for missing packets

also, might I point to the samsara_<class>damage and samsara_<class>defense cvars, which would allow for more fine tuning

edit: post 616 omg so evil

No av20.wad?

+Aww shit I totally missed my 500th.

You need to slap av20.wad onto the server as well.

We're still finetuning what wads will be hosted.
We're considering a secondary levelset for maps 33-64 and will be also hosting av20/a special build of 0.31, so please pardon any dust.

Niiiiice.

Remembering when my joke suggestion for nightmare doom 2 got accepted.. It was letterly only 2-3 players beating the maps while everyone else were forced to spectate.. I'd imagine it'd be horrible with this.

Can we deathmatch Romero after the survival event is done? Don't lie to me, I know you guys want it too

Nah, that would be a clusterfuck. I'd rather see if he'd be willing to take challenges from the competitive dudes.

He'd get swept.


IIRC, the last time Romero played Doom PvP was keyboard-only.
