GBD2    Of 1999

 

 ------------December 30th-----------
    Well, let me start off by telling a little story.  My modem wasn't working for the past few weeks.  There that was short.  The mst intriguing part is how my ISP charged me for going 30 hours over my alloted time, go figure.   Anyways, I've been doing some tampering with monsters because I;m trying to make as many small ghosts as possible.  I already have one ghost split into 4 new ones, and more maybe on the way.  I don't want people to battle the same ghosts twice on one level.  I also Redrew the SlimeBlower, it was looking a little old but it's the same design but much sharper.  Go now, see it!!  I've also linked some new sites like the All new GB3D, damn right it's back baby!  POTM has also been changed, it's a gif of just one of the power moves by a character in a 2D fighting game that I'm helping a friend create.  I think that about wraps it up.   I'm afraid I won't be able to update this site for at LEAST another year :).  Oh and this is a little delayed, but Happy Holidays!

 ------------November 30th-----------
    Not bad, 3 updates in a month.  Unfortunately, this one isn't about progress.   I'm actually upset by the public display on the Ghost Book.  I've always enjoyed going on there and reading about how I've apparently joined the Hitler Youth, or have ended the project.  The recent events that have transpired have caused me to take a stand and say that the ghostbook has about one more chance to live.  I'd sure hate to ruin it for the people who actually used it to ask questions, but I don't have time to babysit for elementary school children using the computers at school to post porn messages and pretend like they're breaking school policies, and make-believing that they're "hackers".  I guess I owe it to some of the big GB site maintainers like Chad Paulsen of GhostBusters Central and Troy Benjamin of GhostBusters HQ if they were offended by any of the posts on here.  Anyways, I just need to tell everyone that the board will be shut down if not respected.  And on a final note, Ling you lam3r I'm not deadweight, I updated 10 days ago!

 ------------November 19th-----------
Download the Egon Skin for Legacy and ZDooMWow, 2 updates in a month!  You lucky guys are sure in for a treat.  The past week I spent COMPLETELY redrawing the Player Sprite for GBD2, and man does the new player Kick ass (as you can see from the gif).  The image is based off a conceptual drawing by Jason Frailey, the other Art member.  The new character turned out so well that I decided to turn him into a Skin for Legacy and ZDooM.   You can download it from the left or go to the NEW download page  and see what new shit I've concocted there.  I also had a chance to do a 4 player GBD2 match this pact weekend and let me Just say... DAMN!  If you ever get a chance to do 4 players go for it, especially on the StayPuft level.  I've never seen a match reach over 100 kills in 10 minutes!  During the game, I tried taking screen Shots, but I was dead before I could get a good pic.  I have one image in the Shots section of all four of us Beaming the Hell out of StayPuft.   No new POTM, mainly because it's not a new month yet.  Also being a Big GhostBusters fan, I also must express my outrage at SONY for canning the GB3 project.   Damnit I need my GB!!  One last thing I'd like to say is Support DooM Resurrestion damnit!  Oh yeah and Save Twice Risen too :)

pika1.gif (31846 bytes) Whoa fellow Doomers and Ghostheads, long time no see.  I'm alive!!! Muahaha!   I think that guy FRED on the GhostBook was right, there should be a big orgy in honor of this day :), Plus now NERD can get himself a girfriend and see some action.  This weekend is a big 3 day weekend so I plan to do a few levels and maybe some graphics.  I recently had a GhostBusters Revitalization on the day of halloween.  I drove around town in my white Crown Victoria Wagon with no ghost logos on the sides all dressed up in full GB regalia, sounds lame, but it was fun.  I'll try to get some pictures up of that.  This time I actually DID change POTM (even though I missed 2, damn school)  Unfortunately I don't have any new Screenies, sorry just try to hold back the tears.  Until next time, enjoy this cute picture of Pikachu...awwww.

 -----------September 28th------------
Wow!  It has been one long time since an update, and I'm glad to see so many people want to be me :) And as I believe I've said before that If I ever did terminate the project, it would be alot more glamourous than just a simple GhostBook post.  But the imposters were right about one thing, me being crunched for time with work on the weekends and school during the week.  On the Plus side, I won't be working after Oct 8th, so it will free up my weekends greatly hopefully enough for me to do a little work on GBD2.  There aren't really any new screenies for me to post, but I think I put one up anyways.  I also changed the POTM, to be a little more fitting.  I also put up a link to El's GhostBusters Quake2 levels.  I think that's it, I just wanted to update to ensure people that GhostBook Rumors are NEVER true.  Speaking of which, Sqeege, you need to E-mail me some time!

 -------------August 31st--------------
gbd2now.gif (14471 bytes)     Many of you thought it would never happen, well it did!  That's right the Brand new ass Kickin' demo has been uploaded for you to download.  Included are the files needed to run and the text file.  Don't forget, you still need BOOM to play it.  I know it's been a long time since I updated (even DoomWorld told me it was about time) man, but I've been real busy lately and have been working for like 5 days straight to get this demo out before scool starts tommorrow (you can bet, I'll be playing some LFCHS doom tonight :).  The new demo is chock full of so much good shit, I'ts not even worth my time to upload screen shots.  However POTM did get updated.  The new demo has 6 new levels to it, plus an added bonus level that won't be in the full game (for good reason).  Go, now  download it.  I'd also like to ask that if there are any good level designers out there who would like to help out, do so.  This project can't complete itself (trust me I've tried).  So with that said...  Who 'ya gonna call?

 -------------August 18th--------------
     In light of Zombie DooM's unfortunate ending *sniff* , I've posted a file with the unused pictures that he never got to use (mainly the chainsaw Zombie, and chainsaw).  It also has a Luke Skywalker player image,  DL-44 blaster, and one hell of a kick ass Light Saber (probably the best ever made for DooM) that were intended for the ill-fated StarWars DooM.  Both of the files are together in a little download I like to call, "Reject TC Sprites".  And speaking of abandoned projects, I was contacted by one of the original creators of GB3D, Eric Lindow.  He wrote to say that the person who was left in charge of it failed to complete it, which is depressing (it looked lke it was going to kick ass), but on a lighter side he gave GBD2 the official thumbs up as the official heir to GB3D and hopes to see it completed.  I'll try not to let him down.  Word has it that some of the Downloads didn't work (namely Reject Weapons, and the Demo) I went to check 'em out and found out they were BAD!  so I fixed them and now they should work.  In GBD2 news, (finally what you were looking for) The Ecto 1-a is FINALLY complete, and damn did that car ever have a massive overhaul.   All 8 scenes of the car from the outside, and an all new interior was done for it and damn does it look sweet (a few of you had been asking for a new interior).  A few new gfx tweaks here and there and a new screenie showing off one of the Ecto-1a's fancy new external images.   I also tweaked the Weapons page, just a tad.  I think the POTM was updated, damn I can't remember :|  hmm...

 ---------------July 30th----------------
    Whoa, sorry to all those people who tried to download things in the last 24 hours.  I was righ tin the middle of uplading the files when I went to work, so I never got to change the links, sorry 'bout that.  But now even more importantly I've finally uploaded the GoldenEye DM level for everyone to download, Just a little house warming present from me to you, awww.....   The old GBD2 demo is up again, and boy do I mean old.  The PKE meter is still the crappy original one I used when I first started.   The new demo will be up just as soon as I finish the Mansion in the rain.   C-ya later.

 ---------------July 26th----------------
    Ow!  my head...where am I?  Some sort of strange place I've never been before.   That's because I've moved here to DOOMWORLD, yeah!  I've been like trying to get hosted here since I first heard about it a year ago, so you can imagine how exciting this is.  Anyways I'd like to welcome any new visitors and to all you people who are coming back, yo!  I guess I should do a tribute to Doomworld or something for them being so nice, so here goes...

Doomworld oh Doomworld,
home of the Fluffy Cacodemon.
Not being near you,
makes my head steamin'

Ok I was never to good at poetry, but I do thank them.  With that out of the way, I'd also have to say that the Files will be down for a while till I put them up again.  I will also get a new demo up in the near future when I finish one of the levels.  I also had an Idea for the Ecto-1A.  Instead of being a Front on view from the inside like it is now, I could shift it to the left a bit to make it look like your in the drivers seat, add a steering wheel and a hand just to make it look cool.   Whudduh 'ya think? I also put up a new POTM just for fun, go see.  I don't have much more to say, so I can't..  C-ya  till next update.

 ---------------July 19th----------------
       Well, this has been an interesting few days.  I had my Wisdom teeth pulled and decided to read my E-mail (since I could still do that) and what do I find tons of messages pleading "don't cancel the project"  I don't know if it was the drugs or what but I started to feel dizzy.  I went to the GhostBook and what do I find fake posts talking about the cancellation of GBD2.  Well, I clarified it on their and deleted the latest entry of his just to prove it wasn't me.  Anyways No, GBD2 is still kickin' ass, I'm about 1/2 done with a haunted house with rain in it, so you can see a pic of it on the Shots page.  I also recieved more walking scenes of Vigo from Jason Frailey and man do they look sweet.  Right now he's on temporary disability so vigo is on hold, but we all wish him the best.  Also The votes were tabulated and the Blaster from the hood is the winner (The vote was like 10:1:1) I put up a shot of it, unfortunately I haven't drawn the hood cannon yet, but getting the gun to work is done and THAT was the tricky part.  Right now the car has about 100 ammo, and they get used pretty quick so you'll need to find more when your driving around.  I also added a Link to Adam Shaws new DooM TC "Star Wars missions" it looks like it's going to kick some ass.  007 might make it up next update for you unlucky non10,000 visitors :), but I'll need to see if I have enough Webspace for it.  And about that Demo you all are craving...there will be one.  Probably soon too.  I'll ask you a question you being the people who will be playing this.  Do you want a full shareware with all the levels and stuff from the first movie, or just updated grafix, sounds and about 3 new levels from the last demo.  The difference is how long it will take me to get them out.  as you can imagine the Full shareware would take a wile longer, while the smaller would be done shortly.  There is one more problem that might present itself...that Webspace deal again.  I think I have like -3 meg seeing as how I'm using more than I'm allowed.  I'll try to see what I can do about this.  Till next update (and it won't be about cancelling the project either :)   C-ya.

 ----------------July 1st-----------------
10000.gif (8816 bytes)Woo Hoo!!!   Just a few years ago I never thought that people would ever come to my site!   Now look at that 10,000 people (probably just me and 4 other frequent visitors though).  Anyways the 10,000 visitor to the GBD2 homepage was.. Bob.  For being the honorary visitor, he will recieve the advanced copy of the new Goldeneye DM level I have been working on.  For the rest of you who will have to wait for the level..go to the Downloads Page, there is a screenie there of it.  I also up a new POTM (wow 2 in a row) but this time it's not of the 10,000 visitor...go check it out.  Oh and it looks like beam from the hood is in the lead right now...so go vote if you haven't already.  Congrats Bob!

---------------June 28th----------------

    This just happens to be a very wuick update with something important to say.  It's almost that time for the 5 digit counter number.  I'f you're the 10,000 visitor to my site, Take a screenshot and send it to me and you shall be rewarded.  I've already decided what it will be.  -= 9,938 =-

 ---------------June 28th----------------
    Well, another month and here's the update.  I've had alot of people offering to help with GBD2 lately, and that's good...I need them.  The POTM has been updated couteous of Jason Frailey.  I've also been working on some new levels like the GBHQ after the Grid fails, and the Statue of Liberty.  I also beefed up Mr. StayPuft so now he totally blows the shit out of the water...go check out the shot of him.  I also had a brainstorm (wow) about the Ecto-1...It's quite possible that I could give the car a limited supply of a proton pack that you could shoot out of a front cannon.  I don't know whether this is a good idea so I thought I would ask you guys the people who will be playing this...The car would still do the normal attack of running over people, but it would fire a proton steam when you hit the attack button.  Here is a screenie that I whipped up to demonstrate what it would look like.  I'd like to hear from you about it so sign the GhostBook with your choice and maybe some comments.  The enemies page might have been updated, I'm not sure..I fogot whether I did it or not :\  Other than that, I don't have much more.  Next update I hope to have some screenies up from the Statue of Liberty.

 ---------------May 22nd----------------
STAR WARS
     Opening day in our little town.   May 19th 1999, I was there.  From 7PM to 11PM I waited for tickets and finally went to see the show.  Boy did it kick ass,  Part of the fun was just waiting in line with my friends, but the movie wasstill the best part.   I don't care what the critics say (in fact nobody does) that movie was great.   Now that I've finished my StarWars rant, there was a legitimate reason for pdating this page.  I added a reject weapons download in the files section.  It contains alot of weapons the I never used for anything, some of them are very good, while many are quite plain.  Go read the informaion about the weapons on the files page.  That was all.


---------------May 15th----------------

     It's been a long time, but it was worth the wait.  As you can tell, I've totally redesigned my site making it actually look cool.  Along with the new format 've got some new screenies, a POTM and enemy info, and news on a new member of the team (who incidently is churning out some incredible enemies very quickly).   With the new page format, not all the links may work properly, so drop me a line so I can fix 'em.  School should be out in about 2 weeks so that means alot more time for GB.  In some recent news, I've learned that ZDooM allows you to remove Mlook and jump out of specific levels.  If this is the case, I might decide to port GBD2 to ZDooM.   Fortunately, ZDooM Supports all of BooM's features so nothing would be lost.   I've also been playing GBD2 network games alot, and if you ever get the chance to play someone in deathmatch, I suggest the level with Mr. StayPuft.  Man that one is a blast!  It's just a big Proton Pack fight with nonstop action.  That just about wraps up this update, I hope that I can update this page more frequently now.

---------------April 22nd----------------
    Well, the big thing on eveyones mind is the Littleton, CO shooting.  Every time one of these shootings occurs, I run through this same idea in my head.  While all of the shootings have been terrible, I feel that this one seemed to hit me more than the rest.  So for the sake of respect, and in light of these recent terrible acts, I took it upon myself to remove my School DooM from my site.  I apologize to anyone who wanted to download it, but because there are some people who just can't separate reality from fiction, I took it off my site.  I felt that add-on was just too much to leave on my site after all these terrible tragedies.
    In lighter News, GBD2 is being slowly worked on again.  The past few weeks I've been finishing up on some enemy drawings and coming up with some new ideas.  I haven't been able to get DMapEdit to work yet, but when I do (and provided I have time) I will start working on some levels, and maybe over the summer start doing some massive level work, trying to do like one a week.  I'm HOPING that in the future, I will have a big site update, with some new screenies., ahem...POTM :) and a new page possibly.  Incidently, I now have a network set up with my old 166Cyrix, so I can play Multiplayer games whenever I need to test something in a level, or with a weapon (which by the way, some needed serious tweaking).  So until next update, C-ya.
    Note: You can visit a personal page of mine for a WebPage class, devoted to the great film, THE BLOB

   ---------------March 16th---------------
    Whoa...Sorry for the lack of Updates, but I recently purchaced a *NEW* computer....AMD 400 K6-2.  Anyways...I was having troubles getting everything up and running, but after a few HD crashes and formatting and Re-Installing, I think I've got everything under Control (Don't Worry GBD2 wasn't harmed)  I do however have LOTS of unattened mail, some of which I may not get around to answering.   I'll try to reply to all that I can, but for now keep your pants on.  If you haven't already figured it out, this ALSO means that I have'nt had time to work on GBD2 so no new screenies, POTM or Enemy shots.  I will try to start working again, but I'll need to get the HD set up to my "Work Habbit" so I can begin where I left off.

 ---------------February 26th---------------
    T'wards the end of the month, looks like I'm due for an update and BOY is it a Biggun'.  I've got some new screenies up of the Courtroom which turns out to be an awesome level.  I put up a new PicOfTheMonth  (PicOfTheWeek implies that I have to update every week :) It's of GBD2 running with ZDOOM, which incidently is mighty impressive.  Also in BIGGER news I must say that I remember the good old days of Computer Gaming when companies would release SHAREWARE versions of games, allowing you to play through an entire episode of the game, but still leaving the best stuff out.  Well I had 'em all  Monster Bash   Duke Nukem 1&2  ahem....DooM, but NOW companies just release a stupid DEMO and give you 2 guns and a single level.  Well I thought about it and finally updated the GBD2 DemoShareware Version.  It has all the completed levels from the first 1/3 of the game including the boss, Mr. StayPuft.  I put in some of the new features like burning cars and a more interactive environment, alot of things can be used/broken.  In a different turn of events...I was playing GBD2 with ZDooM and It kicks ass, but unfortunately for being so good there's a price to pay.  It seems that the game crashes when you shoot the lamps.  I will provide the link for eveywone who wishes to try it out (and I reccomend that you do) and if the Errors don't occur for you, tell me.  Get ZDooM Here! Also, Show your support for GhostBusters...visit GB Blast.

 ----------------February 5th----------------
    Well another month, another update.  This time with a new POTW ooohh.... I've just recieved the Courthouse level from Adam Shaw, more nice work, I'll put up a pic once I get some Scoleri Brothers images to add to it.  Oh incidently the POTW is in NO way meant to be offensive, and I tried not too make it that way.  Besides it's funny, I may be biast towards PC's but I don't give a rip, If you like apple I've got nothing against 'ya (unless you happen to be Shawn Nelson, then we have some problems) Take it in stride people I don't want E-mails saying I suck and will go to hell with Bill Gates :)  It also doesn't Imply that I hate Intel, personally I like the Pentium II.  Phew.. now that that's out of the way I can also say that GB Blast has been updating constantly and seem to be moving along quite quickly, can't wait to see some of his weapon pics (I love weapons the most :)  I might add some new screenies up sometime soon as well.  My final words mirror that of Gov. Jesse Ventura..... We need to put partisan computing behind us.

S.B. says:  At least there's some Justice in this world:  Falcons ASS' go down in burning fireball!  hehehe...now go and play some CHAMPIONS

 ----------------January 30th----------------
    Wow!  Another update after ony FOUR DAYS!  I'm impressed.  Anyways I've got a new screenie up of the Overlook hotel, the first pic of it I believe.  And I changed the POTW (finally) for this special occassion.  I've hit number 5000..WhooHOOO!  It just so happened that #5000 was me however :)  I'm looking forward to one day when I might break the quadruple zero barrier.  Lastly I reorganized the levels page so you can tell just how far I still have to go.  Other than that, I don't have too much new, besides me just tweaking a few levels lately.

 ----------------January 26th----------------
    Astounding!  I recieved an E-mail about another GB site out there.  At first I thought it was just confusion about GB3D.  This time, I was wrong :)  It truly does exist.  Personally I'd go give it a look,  "GHOSTBUSTERS BLAST" his Link can be found on my Links page now.  This came as a shock to me I didn't know any other GBD DOOMs were in progress, Cool!  Anyways if any of you have ever gone to the enemies page lately you'd have seen 2 new enemy pics, Slimelord and BugEye. Remember! I still need GFX artists, go sign up.  I think the GhostBook is working now, and oh..Thanks Mike Clay :)  I'll put up a new POTW soon, I promise.  and I hope to have maybe some new level pics up.

----------------January 21st----------------
    Man, an entire year without so much as an update :)  anyways, this update would have been up sooner, but I had no Internet time left to go on and upload it...damn.  It's been a big year for GBD2, it's starting to take shape, plus It's been a long grueling year for me (damn chemistry).  Also If anyone ever tried to go to the GBD2 "ghostbook" anytime, you may have noticed that it doesn't work.  Damn 1-2-3 Webtools, I sent them an E-mail and they said they'd look into why it never displays the messages.  I feel lucky, I'm the first person this has happened to >:| goodie.  hopefully I can get it working sometime.  I've also added a link to the DOOM TC webring on the Links page, no new POTW...I'll change it later, when "ghostbook" is working.  I've got anew chracter for you to tackle in GBD2, two actually Sludgeler & Slimelord go check 'em out at the enemies page.  I'm not sure I have much else here, except a little side note...
        If anyone lives in the USA, particularly the Mid West around Minnesota AND you happen to own a DeLorean you are looking to sell :), I'd kinda like to know I'm interested in owning one.  The Price you a$k?  Good que$tion, If you E-mail me we'll di$cu$$ it PLEA$E not to much either.  I'd like it to have a stainless steel body,  The mileage is not to important It doesn't have to be in perfect shape, but I'd prefer if it runs.  Also I'd like it to have an automatic transmission, but hey beggers can't be choosers right?

 -Finally last years news has been cataloged in as 1998 news

----------------January 18th----------------
    Damnit.  Once again the course of the nation has been altered by a statistical fluke.  Those gay ass falcons somehow managed to defeat the GREATEST team in the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings.  This years SuperBowl will be known as the "Gay Bowl"  I mean we have John "gay" Elway and the Atlanta "Fagots"  it's a sad year for the NFL.  A few other names have been suggested, like Atlanta Fag-rats, Atlanta Fulcrums, Atlanta Fucknuts.   If you can't tell, I'm VERY upset with this.  To ease the pain I spent an hour and a half creating a QUICK ....(1.5 hours).....DOOM conversion, and decided to post it just for a while.  CHAMPIONS I & CHAMPIONS II.  the first one is for Ultimate DOOM, and the second is for DOOM 2 you will also need BOOM v2.02 to play this.  This wad has no documentation, so to run it, simply extract BOOM v2.02 & champions into the appropriate DOOM directory and type "boom champion" it's that easy.  An upgrade patch is available for regular full version DOOM to Ultimate doom here.  This is just an agressive tendancy relase update, this Wednesday, I'll put up a REAL update.

VIKINGS RULE!!
