You asked for it, so we're giving it to you: it's time to frag some fractals! For those of you who are still unaware what this mod is:

"Fractal Doom: Like the name says, Doom with fractals. Enemies have new attacks, deaths, and tricks that exponentially multiply themselves into smaller, tinier forms. To make up for it, so does the Marine's weapons! Guaranteed to be a crazy clusterfuck in an action-packed mapset." ~ term

Remember to bind your alt fire key kids, you can drop some mini marines by altfiiring your fist!

[Lord_of_D:]

not sure if gon'be gud or oh crap D:

[Catastrophe]

Sigh, this won't go well

[Hypnotoad]

I'm not sure either, but it's what the people voted for! The mod itself works fine, so I don't see any technical problems happening.

[Lollipop]

I can't wait, this is going to be hillarious :D

[Sicamore]

Oh goody fractal doom. This will either be fun or a mess.

[Tux]

Oh goody fractal doom. This will either be fun or a mess.

actually, it's both!

[Ijon Tichy]

your ears will fucking hate this

just warning you

[Balrog]

I'm not sure either, but it's what the people voted for! The mod itself works fine, so I don't see any technical problems happening.

Try the fact that there's going to be a mountain of entities for the server to keep track of. Fractal Doom would be fun alone, but multiplying the engine load by ~15 players is going to be a laggy hell more likely than not.

Fractal Doom?

Should I be excited or shitting in my pants?

[TerminusEst13]

Both are perfectly valid options.

[Catastrophe]

This event is going on right now, come join!

[TerminusEst13]

[Lord_of_D:]

this is the best thing i have ever played

[Hypnotoad]

It's still going

[Tux]

Fractal Doom performs well, a lot better than you think. Since everything's mostly vanilla-ish monsters without gibs there isn't really that much there. We've had games with 10 or so people and almost 2k mini imps on BE that had playable framerates.

The only thing that really causes lag is if everyone spams plasma altfire at once, and it's only temporary. Used to cause people to miss enough packets to DC in earlier versions though.

[CloudFlash]

...No...
...NO...
...NOOOOOOOOOOO I MISSED IT GODDAMIT D:!!!!!!

[scroton]

There's like 6 of us in it now.

[CloudFlash]

Huh? so why I see no server with fractal doom on o_o
