Unsure if this has yet been posted, but Quake Injector is a cool way to get lots of Quake maps.

If you have any other suggestions (especially for the underloved Tribes bit), please say!

Since Shadow Warrior Complete is now on GOG, it's probably in good taste to remove the download links to the addon packs. Also, that Quake Injector posted above might fit well in the OP.

I'm 100% positive that neither of the add-ons were ever released commercially before now. The original intention was to sell them shortly after Shadow Warrior's release, but poorer sales than expected killed that idea. The devs of Twin Dragon released it for free not too long after cancellation, and Wanton Destruction was also released by one of the devs many years after the fact. So really, it's kind of silly to remove them since they have always been available for free up until this point.

Thanks for that! Didn't know.

Another thing you might be interested to know, then, is that there was in fact a third add-on pack in the works. Unlike the others, this one never surfaced. I forget what it was called, but it was supposed to star Lo Wang's estranged sister in some sort of adventure of her own. I think some screenshots exist somewhere, but that's all we know of it.

Too bad we'll never see complete mindfucks of expansion packs anymore. An expansion pack that adds squirt guns? Suicide nowadays.

Dominic White posted:

Oh yeah, you absolutely must get Fluidsynth and a decent soundfont, ideally one that can do decent guitars. The music needs it. Take the soundfont from this pack I uploaded a while back, and get the latest Fluidsynth DLL here.

I'm a fan of Shan's soundfont. Here's a sample of E3M1 from Doom with Shan's. Since the download links for the soundfont on the Internet are pretty horrible, here's a good one I've uploaded to Google Drive.

Whats the best way to play Duke Nukem online coop?

I played through all four episodes (and through Blood too) using the pre-configured multiplayer configuration offered by GOG. You may have you use a virtual LAN program like Evolve or Hamachi for it to work properly, however.

Speaking of XLEngine, there's not enough love for Outlaws in the thread. The "Sanctuary" level was genius in early FPS level design.

I love how, if it wasn't for a few modern references, it looks exactly like something form the '90's. Like a kid from '97 got teleported to the modern day, saw a handful of anime that he enjoyed, then got shoved back to his own time and made this amalgamation of '90's and modern internet pop culture.

Grezzo 2 is just as hilarious, but in a different way.

I remember an advertisement for Necrodome in a copy of PC Gamer. It looked like the most goddamned radical thing ever. Naturally, I assumed a demo would be available on AOL's Games website, but it wasn't. It also wasn't sold in any stores nearby, so no. No I don't remember Necrodome.

There is disappointingly little footage of the game anywhere. Sounds like I'll be setting up a Windows 95 VM this weekend to record!

Rarely using a VPS. It's currently hosting Doom and Sven Co-op servers. I'm willing to host whatever for goons if there's a desire to co-op some older FPSes. The VPS stats are: 256MB RAM, 10GB storage, hosted in L.A. (it's the RD-256 plan from RackD.) Underpowered for many things, but it runs Doom 2 well.

But there's one problem - the 2.0 patch (http://www.lucasarts.com/support/update/outlaws.html) installer refuses to work on windows 7. It gives me that nasty "doesn't work on the system, check to see if its 32 or 64 bit blah blah blah" nonsense. Even a compatibility mode won't fix it.

I suggest the VM route... or perhaps this 64-bit installer! http://www.replaying.de/outlaws/outlaws-patch-fur-windows-vista-7-x64-64-bit/

Setting up a Doom/Doom2 server on a VPS. Which WADs are the best for co-op? It's unofficially a goon server, so I'll post the details when it's ready to go. (Additionally it will be a HL1/HL2 mods server as well).

Turns out I'm dumber than I thought! IP should be 76.72.167.204:27970. Thought it was set to the default port. Looking into it.

I hope this won't result in a ban, but I have to ask: I was a huge fan of the Crusader games when I was younger (and I'm guessing that's what your avatar features, right?), and I was wondering if there's ever been an updated release for it on modern systems. Or maybe even a fan-made sequel (I know there were two official games).

I used to love that game so much...

And again, my apologies for the off-topic post.

edit:

Yup! I'm a big Crusader fan. (Probably the biggest). Here's my website for it: https://www.echosector.com

Not to pimp the guys I work for, but GOG.com sells both No Remorse and No Regret for cheap.

That's awesome. I spent many hours playing Sven Co-op on the good old HL days. The mod had tons of coop maps itself and people made crazy poo poo for it and while the mod crashed a lot, it was really fun to make a listen server and play with 250+ ping with your friends. I'm totally installing it and playing with goons as soon as they release it, bonus points if we get on mumble/TS.

I have a Mumble server we can use. It has 25 slots.

Although I think I could really get into this game if it had even the slightest graphics tune-up, even just getting it to doom level, so you can distinguish the enemies who are more than, like, three feet away from the wall textures.

The color palette is the strongest part of Blake Stone, I feel. Really distinctive. Find myself playing Blake more than Wolf3D nowadays solely because of that.
