Uh, I think you've completely misunderstood what Freedoom is. In order for it to support hi-res sprites, encryption, etc it'd need to be a source port. It's not one of those, it's a TC which works with a wide range of different source ports.
Freedom is losing its promise. Think about America. Are we really free? Not really. And what about Netzero? It was free in the beginning but now you have to pay like all the others. Tricking people into signing up for free just to pay a ton later. Bastards.
Erm anyway on the screenshots front, I'm going to bug cyb and scour through the submissions on vect.org and pick some out. The new site is 99% complete, just tidying up some scripts, then we'll let it loose on you lot.
But Risen3d is boom compatable, if you decide to leave out jdoom, that is understandable. As far as I know, it's far more compatable with risen3d then jdoom, unless you are refering to the map I edit. An any case, thankyou.

Has the project been abandoned? Where are the screenies? Do you still need sprites? Does anyone care?
It isn't abandoned although both Fraggle and I haven't given it much attention this last year. We're determined to make a release before 2006 and we'd like it to be a big one.
A sf.net configuration change has busted our wiki, but I'll be on it. We still do need screenies, yes - I got some submitted but they were for ID DOOM2.WAD levels so I didn't think them appropriate.
Thats great to see this project have rebirth (even if it never died), i though it was dead, since im an open source whore :) im still very insterrested to contribute.
About spriting it would be great if we could do what ID did with the monsters/objects creation... making 'em of clay or something similar and then take photos, grayscale and then hue them with Freedoom palette... I could give it a try on the revenant when i'll have time. Dont have clay but i guess it's not that hard to find...
I've got a handful of models of alien gray style things (don't ask) which I have taken photos of and might be able to create a sprite from, the imp or arch-vile perhaps.
Actually I need to experiment with rendering sprites from blender first. I'll be awesome and provide the .blend file with the sprites, that is if i ever am successful
i might also do additional impse frames for wads that require it
Jon: Could you post one or two shots of those "alien gray style things"? I'd like to see if I could make a pixel job after you colored/resized them maybe (im not bad at pixel art)... I observed how doom's sprites was done, they took photos digitalized and retouched the sprites after...
gargoyl : It would be interresting to have baron of hell done soon :D, since you seem good with blender, it would help to finish the first version of freedoom :D.
I'll be working on the missing sceneries sprites, and maybe retouch some others.
Well, the makehuman program of the pre alpha beta release has a horn target, that can be import in Blender then do the charater seperate "Cause the emotion effect the horn" Join them then render them, if you plan to do UV mapping there's a good plug-in that was suggested in the makehuman forum that could do that, so you wouldn't have to work with so many quads.
I made a demon target for makehuman would anyone find it usefull ?
makehuman isn't very good to render sprites with, since all the detail won't be seen anyway at small sprite level. It'll also give an absolutely corny and lazy feel to the monster too because the porportions won't match a sprite monster anyway.
i.e. bulletpuff is bigger than your thin legs and arms.
gargoylol is right. The render is only used as a base for the sprite. The details must be added at hand after pixel per pixel. Doom's sprites dont have enough resolution to worth using such programs.
What you mean by porportions not matching ? You don't render it in makehuman, you export it then render it in blender, then turn on "Ortho" to get a full view. Here's an example that I made after I index the color to 16 in Gimp.
gargoylol : wow that model is great, why not remove wings and use it? After some pixel retouch and coloring it would looks almost as good as Doom's sprite.
