Unfortunately, Dagobah is not one of those WADs. [...] There may be a few people who will appreciate it, but it's not going to be going on my hard drive any time soon. http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49738-doom-classic-code-review-2-the-gift-and-the-curse/ http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49738-doom-classic-code-review-2-the-gift-and-the-curse/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:26:47 -0500 Fabian Sanglard, the author of an article describing the rendering process of classic Doom a few weeks ago, is back. This time, he plumbs the depths of the recently released iPhone Doom source code. Unlike the last article where he simply dissected the renderer, he now goes into quite a bit of depth on many of the different aspects of the source, including the new main game loop, the new OpenGL renderer, and more. Like the last article, there... http://www.doomworld.com/php/topstory.php?id=3212 http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49634-the-newstuff-chronicles-361/ Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:45:00 -0500 rrr on Greenwar II: The release of Greenwar 2 is a landmark event for gaming. It is also a landmark event for bringing the clash of layout-making and wad-detailing to monumental new heights. http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49593-zdoom-2-4-1-released/ http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49593-zdoom-2-4-1-released/ Sun, 24 Jan 2010 06:34:14 -0500 A new official version of ZDoom is available, 2.4.1. As typical, this is mirrored by a new version of GZDoom, 1.4.2. I said it was mirrored! Not many fancy features this time, these are mostly bug fix releases. Floor waggle effects are smoother now Sliders in the menus work correctly now Negative numbers in the alternate HUD have their minus sign at the right place now Menu option scales better in widescreen resolution Player setup menu... http://www.doomworld.com/php/topstory.php?id=3210 http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49492-the-newstuff-chronicles-360/ Sat, 16 Jan 2010 19:25:00 -0500 360 degrees of /newstuff Chronicles freedom today.

He's now posted a detailed article about the original software Doom renderer full of references to linedefs and segs and ssectors and all those things I understand just as vaguely now as I did back in the day. Most interestingly, the page includes s... http://www.doomworld.com/php/topstory.php?id=3208 http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49318-the-newstuff-chronicles-359/ Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:15:00 -0500 Jekyll Grim Payne on The City of The Damned Apocalypse: Basically, it's Blood. Mixed with a little of Resident Evil, a piece of Silent Hill, and a sense of those FPS-horrors like Undying and Call of Ctulhu. Still, most of the features are from Blood; in contrast to the first TCOTD, TCOTD:A is not just a Doom wad with Blood textures, it's actually a total conversion, where you will find new enemies, new weapons and a rather unique "sandbox" game... http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49302-the-doomrl-tileset-hits-you-die-more/ http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doomworld-news/49302-the-doomrl-tileset-hits-you-die-more/ Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:33:21 -0500 Do you want your possessions identified?

GZDoom 1.4.0: include several bug fixes, better portals, and more flexible actor functions.
