Twice Risen, csDoom Style

The Twice Risen homepage has the news that a new "variant" of Twice Risen has been released! Entitled "csDoom server-friendly pre-release v0.21," it does just what it sounds like and allows people to play the Twice Risen pre-release over everyone favorite client/server Doom port, csDoom. Those who already have the v0.2 pre-release don't need to download anything, but servers will need some new files in order to run it. Go over there and get some Twice Risen DM action on, damnit!

Why is the server only running map07?

I wan't anything BUT map07. 1-6 Map07 is a doom2 map bah. Had enough of those in DM now. I wanna twice risen dm

Well, the rest of the maps aren't the best Deathmatch grounds, but I'll set it up to cycle 1-6.

Okay, I set the server up to cycle maps 01-06. (It's not my server but I have a remote password). Have fun!

Hey Risen, nice job. I just want to know, how did you get the dehacked patch to work in csDOOM?

To get a DHE patch to work in csDoom, it can't be included in the WADfile. This first thing I did was extract it. Any standard DeHackEd patch will work with csDoom as long as it is loaded in the server with the -deh parameter. The server controls a lot of information, including most of the game's behavior which can be edited in DeHeckEd and item placement. A server can run a DeHackEd patch and the clients will see it in use, even if they didn't load it themselves! (The D5-1 OC-3 Server limits use of the BFG by maiking it use 200 ammo per shot, and clients need not load patches to play correctly.) It is for this reason also that a modified MAP07 is possible, If the server thinks items are in certain places, that's where they are.

You could be sneaky and run a cheater's server with this information... or you could be like me and make it useful. :)

That's very interesting information about DEH patches in csDoom.

HAHAHAHA A SERVER THAT BANS (well almost) THE USE OF THE BFG. D*A*F*B*B*A*L*L*Z LIVES!!!!!

Heh.
