One of my favorite mods for UT99 was called Zombie Mod or something like that.

Basically it gave each player a certain amount of lives and then an ever increasing amount of low polygon zombies would start spawning in. The person who was the last to run out of lives was the winner.

What was so fun is that as the match went on, there would be literally hundreds of these weird looking zombies in every room, which made blowing them up with the flak cannon ever so satisfying.

But then the makers updated the mod and added in custom models for the zombies, along with zombie brutes and other creatures. I never liked the changes and lost interest in it quickly. Sadly, I could never find the original version for downloaded after that.

Sounds like Corpse Mania to me, one of my fave mods for it too! Me and my buds would find big industrial maps, go flak arena or use the agentX mod for 'realistic' weapons and then just act like we were some swat team sent in to clean up some zombie explosion or something.

That would be like asking 20 year olds whether Galaxian or Space Invaders had better graphics. It all looks the same probably, although Quake 1 stands out because of its dark, contrasty color palette.

Yeah, I mean on that TF intro video that got linked earlier in the thread, The comments that weren't people thinking it was a New Team Fortress or going "there's a team fortress before 2?" were people saying it looked like Minecraft :bang:

And Galaxian's graphics are technically better. But the aliens all look like crappy butterflies. Space Invaders is cooler looking.

Man I love Reelism, for years I've wanted a 3D version of Smash TV, this is pretty close. If only I could survive more than 30 seconds. Could I suggest some Rise of the Triad Weapons for future releases? at the very least the drunk missile launcher would be a welcome addition.

A "ROTT in Hell" weapon rule would be neat. I'll give it a bit of thought, and see if the maker of the ROTT TC is cool with me rifling through his stuff.

I've got some other ideas/suggestions too, if you don't mind 'em

Some assault maps would be fun too, though I don't know any good ones, I've only played the ones that came with Skulltag.

edit: Also, Return of the Triad, the full conversion for GZ/Zdoom of Rise of the Triad has 11 co-op maps now along with the deathmatch, maybe someone could host that sometime too! http://www.elzee.co.nz/return-of-the-triad-tc/

Another good mod to try might be Ghouls World.

Basically it's Ghouls Forrest, only with more different ghouls, several maps, co-op skulltag in mind. oh yeah, and without the seizure enducing screamer style assaults on your senses. If anyone here's watched Spike and Barley, they should know what sort of thing to expect.

Ghouls world!

No clue what could be wrong... maybe the Doom WAD itself? It is Ultimate Doom though, and has always worked for other mods...

I had the same problem, until I went and downloaded a newer version of Id did.
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=16721

I saw a game on the server list called Who Dun It. So I decided to look it up, Looks like Trouble in Terrorist Town, or The Ship. done in doom. crazy.

edit: Also that Return of the Triad conversion is for Zdoom, I dunno how well it'll work in skulltag, but if someone could put up a Zdoom server (if that's possible) that'd be sweet. Right now I'ma test that ROTT mod in skulltag.

Once you set up all the directories for Doomseeker it's pretty useful, just double click on any game and it automatically searches a list of sites to download any IWads you don't have, and then loads it all up and connects for you. Regardless of base game and engine port.

I've not used IDE though..

:siren:How to Play REELISM in Multiplayer:siren:
I'm going to assume you know how to do things like port forward and get your ip, since there's plenty of places to get that info online.

the first thing you're going to want is Quickly Launchering zDoom. https://github.com/downloads/SavageMessiah/QLZ/Launcher.exe get it.

Load up QLZ, and set up the directories for your zDoom, and for your IWAD. The IWAD in this case is Doom2.wad, it'll look something like this.



Next, click the "Add File" button under that big white space. then make sure to pick "all files(*.*)" as the file type. like so.

select Reelism's pk7 file.

From here you could just hit launch and play single player. but if you wanna join a game, put the mode to "client" and get the IP of the server you want to join. and press launch.



If you're hosting. it's a little more complicated. Select "Server" from mode. and put the number of players into the players box. Don't forget to count yourself.

The next bit is the really important bit, you'll need to specify a map. E1M1 won't cut it, neither will MAP01. which is annoying. you'll have to type them in.
    DISCORD = Continuum of Discord
    GUTROT = Gutrot Island
    VR = The Internet Machine
    X2 = Municipal Transpo
    X3 = Creature of Chaos

like so



wait for the clients to join and voi la.


erm...I don't seem to actually be able to pick up weapons or die though, so I dunno if it's a bug, or me doing this wrong, though..

I'd say reelism, but gzdoom needs to get itself a drop-in-drop-out dedicated server type thing first.

with remakes of all the original share ware levels, the share ware episode was the best.

And while the original didn't have co-op, I hope it has co-op, like literally just the single player game with other dudes plopped in there with different coloured pants. Just everyone running around in a swarm of drunken rockets gibbing each other and laughing maniacally. Oh and all the awesome game modes the original had

And somewhere, there will be the dopefish.

what about players 3-16?

Actually I think that would be a bit much, explosions everywhere.

This is probably the only remake that I wouldn't be annoyed by seeing you only able to carry 2 or 3 weapons. I think I could accept the presence of zombies too..But the only chest high cover I want to see is being used by enemies, and you can blow it to smithereens with one of your rocket launchers. Preferably the one with a boxing glove on the end.

Shame about the co-op, but considering the engine it's on, it coming with an editor, and it already having multiplayer modes, I'm sure fans could cook up a co-op mode soon enough if they don't.

Ugh, gently caress the High Res Duke models. I got stuck on that friggin super market level for over an hour because a switch you have to shoot through a door doesn't show up when you use the models. I'd never played it before so I spent that long try to find what I was supposed to do to continue.

Singleplayer ROTT is terrible. Multiplayer ROTT is awesome. Is there any easy way find/play multiplayer games on the internet?

Not really, other than hosting your own using GLROTT/WinRott and having friends join. Perhaps the group could arrange something.

Hopefully when The Skulltag offshoot gets enough of ZDoom's features we'll be able to play the TC for doom with a server browser.

There's a full list of differences here. (As well as info on which source ports can be used.)

Some things I can kind of understand, disabling multiplayer is a really poor decision, but it would explain why they didn't catch the desynch bug with the wolfenstein soldiers replaced with zombies. And locking sounds at 11025, while I don't see why they'd need to do that, causing a few sounds to play slower due to their higher rate is obvious in hindsight (I'd assume they were all the same rate afterall) But disabling command lines, removing cheat codes and not having the confirmation for nightmare mode, as well as removing multiplayer.. were they trying to make this the shittiest version of Doom they could?

Is there any way to increase text size with zandronum and/or not get complete poo poo performance with gzdoom? I want to try out reelism but it lags my computer something fierce.

Have you tried using ZDoom instead of GZDoom? They're essentially the same only ZDoom doesn't use GL, which might be the problem on a laptop, maybe.
