Super Doom64 - Doom 64-Style Partial Conversion (New Release)

[StrikerMan780]

New release, major overhaul. A bit late at posting, but the OP is updated with the changelog and download.

[Kunai Kitsune]

This is an exceptional overhaul to an already massively fun wad, the only thing it lacks is people playing it. Don't get me wrong though, many people have played it and love this project but there needs to be more. Like, a good 16 or perhaps 24 people in a server playing it. That has happened before and it was total insanity! Problem is, it needs to happen more often. Also, I may contribute more maps to this over time. Possibly smaller maps compared to the huge map20 I made.

Looking for people who can help sprite for this project. http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1476

I love the D64 weapons, and overall the wad manages to look and feel fantastic without logging it down with excessive effects affecting the gameplay (an all-too-common mistake with wads like these).

Though I'm not particularly aware of how the BFG's changed overall, I've tried to use it normally and it seems to have wide blast radius and no tracers from what I've managed to see. I'd like the info about its behaviour to be explained publicly for those who don't know. EDIT: I'm retarded, please punch my face

New BFG Mechanics - The BFG's spray originates from the center of the blast outward, rather than a cone from the player who fired it. Also, to curb spam, you can end up killing yourself if you're too close.

In other words, use it like you would a rocket. Good for clearing rooms filled with camping teams now.

I'll be changing the name of the project for the next release, based on complaints I've received. I'm debating as to what I should call it though.

Here's a few screenshots demonstrating the direction I'm going with this:
(Obviously a Work in Progress)


(I'm replacing all Doom 1/2 Textures with Doom 64 ones, using the TEXTURES lump, and making extensive use of TEXTURES' color blending parameters to give them a better look and variety.)

Wicked sick!

Hey, that actually looks really good for a Doom 64 project. Expecting a release soon! :)

Some progress:


Also: I've been needing some spriters willing to help out with this project. Details here: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=34492

A bit of amateur sprite editing and we have a temporary solution to the alternate death and split death problem.



Voila, still a work in progress...but decent none the least.


Some credit to "Dr. Doctor" (Not sure if its correct, just know its the name) for a few inspirational sprites that helped make this.

[Ænima]

Wow, nice. How do those look ingame?

Doom64++

Do it.

But other than the name suggestion, this mod freakin' rocks. No lie, this not only makes the game more enjoyable, but in my opinion, simplifies the BFG so that the layman can use it with ease rather than needing to know Doom's native mechanics for the weapon. Sweet mod, dude.

Still a W.I.P

That was a Splendid wad you guys are making.

Some progress with the Doom 2 to Doom 64 Replacement Texturing.

Ooh. Pretty. Reminds me of the lighting in Absolution.

BTW I like the project title. Kinda reminds me of my own. ;p

[Mechromancer]

Doom64++.

Do it. Srsly.

[StrikerMan780]

I think I'm going to stick with the current name (Super Doom 64), because I've already had abbreviated a bunch of things in the decorate code as "sd64".
