Hard to imagine that it's been almost 30 years since the original DOOM came out. Some things, just as jumping/crouching can be enforced by the map somehow, so even if you bind a key to those actions it would not let you perform them.īut mappers must typically provide all the necessary play information in the description of the wad, or its text file, so that it can be played the way it's intended. GZDoom is a popular sourceport for modding, as it supports fully-3D environments in maps, meaning slopes and models can be added if a compatible map editor is used. Elementalism is an epic new mapset for GZDoom. Published There are plenty of reasons to beef up DOOM with a variety of WADS released by talented content creators. I'm on a classic PWAD binge currently so i figure that the '94/'95 PWAD's that i've been playing (mostly ones from the old Top 100 DW List) should be fine set on Doom (strict) and i've even used Doom v1.2 and v1.666 for certain WADs that don't seem to want to work with The Ultimate Doom (or stated it in the txtfile, they might work for all i know). I've only had it set to that setting when playing 90's PWAD's. I understand that it's not an extremely accurate port but lately it seems to be the one that works the best for me. So for compat settings i've just set it to Doom (strict) which i know isn't correct for most newer WADs (possibly Boom for those?). If in a game, this will also cause the gameplay to halt while the console is shown. When pressed, the console will appear from the top of the screen and extend downwards to fill half the screen during gameplay or the entire screen otherwise. Question: I understand PrBoom+ for the most part (except if you are using an older version of Doom as i have no idea if you still have to set comp levels for a PWAD or not), but how would you know what WAD's need what compat levels/settings in GZDoom, especially if it's a map that's specifically made for ZDoom/GZDoom? Are the settings just pre-configured in the mapinfo? Or am i understanding what mapinfo actually is? Unless they state it in the txtfile or something similar. The ZDoom console can be accessed by pressing the tilde key () by default. Instead of numbers (04), you can also use the following (defined in zdefs.acs ): SKILLVERYEASY. I completely forgot about that part since RC2 came out, but playing without infinitely tall actors it will almost trivialize the difficulty of some of the later maps. The skill change will take affect at the next map change.


It's not a conservative/accurate port after all. Don't play wads with incorrect compat levels ), I don't think there's other ways to make it behave more like vanilla. Apart from compatibility settings (and even then, they depend on what you're playing.
