[Engine] GLOOME / [WIP] Project 67 & Nocturne in Yellow

That online gameplay video doesn't look good at all. I guess this engine really should only be used on SP based projects.

Kind of expected, because at its core, it's still using (G)ZDoom's peer to peer netplay.

Hopefully, Zandronum-style client/server is in the pipeline, and the licensing of Zandronum's source (that isn't inherited from ZDoom) is GPL-friendly, but considering how Zandronum isn't even caught up completely with modern GZDoom, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

Is it possible to change the startup screen to load PNG's instead of having to use the custom planar format? I ask this because it would be real nice to be able to create a loading screen without having to painfully use Slade to try and make the custom image (which I can't get to work).

Perhaps new netcode should be done altogether, something hopefully not so buggy and free of shitty carncode.

I would try to be sympathetic about this; it turns out *good* netcode (as in fast, reliable and user-friendly) is kind of absurdly difficult.

Expecting a bunch of pretty much amateur devs who are doing this pretty much entirely in their spare time is kind of a stretch

Honestly it's amazing how well Zandronum actually works when you take this into consideration

The irony being that good netcode being hard to code is no excuse for the likes of Edward to ... Well, be Edward.

Well, yes; though actually, if you look at it, Edward's netcode actually got two out of the 3 features of netcode I listed; as long as you don't take user lag into account, GZDoom netplay is both fast and reliable. It's handling of users...welp.

Now, that's not actually very functional (those dang users always messing everything up). Zandronum's netplay is great at being fast, and is decent in the other two categories.

Fast, Reliable, User-friendly. Near-impossible to get all three, though you can usually get 1 great and 2 decent.
