So I had decided that I was going to wait until this was updated again with hopes of the lag issues related to music being resolved, but this still hasn't happened. So I went ahead and downloaded the Absolution TC (To my dismay this appears to crash every time I start it.. *grumble*) So I'm back here.. either I play with the music and it's a laggy mess, or lose the ambiance for playability.


I honestly don't see what Kaiser has against music wads. What, the file size? The TC's wad is 54 megs. A 1 terabyte hard drive is $89.99.

There was a special DB1 released for D64EX, but it isn't in the best shape ever and it isn't getting any more support. It lacks 3d mode, for example, but I work around by laying out my sectors in DB1 while loading the texture folder so I can visually see my offsets. Then I copy them into D64EXBuilder and set up triggers, objects, and lights.

I don't rememeber the thread offhand but search the Doom Editing forum for it.

Is there a way to use hi-res textures in Doom64 EX? And if it's possible, then how?
In the Absolution it's looking like this:

I think it may look better in Doom64 EX.

I think I may need to tweak the code a bit to allow non-16 color textures. But basically the textures needs to be in the PNG format.

If possible, can you send me a link to the hi res textures?

Yea, i want to know that as well:)

But another thing i want to know is how long will it be before we get controller support? I can connect my laptop to my TV so once controller support is ready i can play the game on my TV :)

controller support would be awesome, and make playing simpler. ive set my keyboard up to where it is super easy to use. but i also hope controller support becomes a feature.

also: what ia the deal w/ player 2,3 and 4 in the controls menu?

It works, its just really, really, prone to breaking. Just don't jump, enable item respawn or use console cheats :P



Leftover Doom3D stuff. It originally had splitscreen support and it became too much of a sore to continue supporting this in Doom64EX. That will be removed in the next release.

And yes I do plan on looking into controller support. During 1.1c I had made plans to support the xbox360 controller as well. Though I am not sure if this can be achieved unless SDL and DirectX 10 can play well with each other like good kids.
