Quake3World

On his site, he's got this plug for the multiplayer ports of DOOM II -- ZDaemon and Skulltag. And he's started playing them more than usual. Once I saw this, I was like, "Hey, this could be a dream come true for me."

Well, he's on my MSN list, so I just asked -- are you playing Skulltag tonight. He said yes. So I got to play a 1v1 with him (doubled his score in case you're wondering) and then a bunch of other guys joined and we played about 12 FFA matches. Some of those he won, because he actually knew the maps (which are never, ever used in modern dm).

It was a fun experience. I suppose it'll start happening more frequently. I really wish he'd spend more time in ZDaemon, but he really likes the raised framerate cap in Skulltag, which gives it a noticeably smoother look in its motion.

Yeah he's a nice guy. A while ago I jokingly posted on a 'gamer photo' page a comment on his pic, where he had short hair, I said 'omg d00d nooooo you cut those precious long locks of yours' as a jokingly 'romero obsessed' way, and he shouted an email saying 'don't worry mang it's growing back!'

Heh that's cool. Hes gonna be playing skulltag on fridays it looks. And with teamspeak. I'm gonna dig out the headset and if they let me in I'll try it. Time to get those wads outta the cd's I guess.

Skulltag.

And what, ZD looks any better?

It's not that ZD looks better. If anything, it wlooks worse because of its capped 35 fps. Skulltag sucks for reasons more important:

Jumping.
Mouselooking.

Those obviously change the gameplay significantly, and in Skulltag it's the common standard. In ZDaemon, it's a minority of noobs that use those features.

Lack of wallrunning.
Lack of slient BFG trick.

Take bunnyhopping/strafejumping/rocket jumping out of Quake. You like that? Not cool -- half of the gameplay is gone when you take out the tricks in the name of "bug fixing."

Lack of Doom2.exe sound distance.

This is just awful. You can hear almost every single thing that happens in a map. This absolutely destroys a significant portion of DOOM II strategy, espcially on smaller maps like Map01.

Skulltag -- for noobs and/or people that are not very concerned with preserving DOOM II for what it is.

ZDaemon -- Larger community, with a significant portion of them (including the developers) dedicated to preserving DOOM II for what it is.

Like John Romero :lol:

I don't really think there are any Doom II noobs anymore

He's not concerned with preserving DOOM II as it is. I've already talked to him about all the crap that's in ST and he doesn't really care. And there are _planety_ of noobs messing with DOOM. The majority of Skulltag players are in their early teens. It's really kind of sick in my opinion.

fuck, talking about this people "messing with Doom" brings me back to the Hellmaker days.

THE best mapeditor ever :icon14: :icon14:
did it ever get ported to win32 btw?

I have no idea. Most people use DoomBuilder for map making now.

I'm a noob to skulltag but not necessarily all things involving the skull.*








































































































































































































































































































































*fucking, for example.

A sick story brings me back here to reply to your post. I have this friend, and he knows this girl.

The girl started getting sick, especially with a sore throat, I think. She went to the doctor and the doctor found an extremely weird bacteria in the back of her throat. After some research, he found that this bacteria lived in only one place -- the back of the throat. OK, but what comes next is the sick part.

The bacteria is also only found in corpses. The back of corpses' throats. Meaning?

Her boyfriend works at a morgue. The chick gives him head, and he... uses corpses to orally please himself. And then when it's the girl's turn the next night in bed, she gets corpse bacteria from his sick cock.

wtf :lol:

True story.

:lol:
