[Scuba Steve]

GZDoom: 8

Eternity: 1

[Xaser]

hey i'm a sourceport now! :D

 

Since scores are based on usage, my numbers are gonna shift a lot based on whatever projects I'm actively working on, but at present it's a pretty even split across:

• Eternity: 3
• dsda-doom: 3
• GZDoom: 3

If there was room for a 4th port, it'd be Chocolate; its usage correlates strongly with activity for certain vanilla projects, and at the moment the Xaserbrain is in MBF21 Mode. :P

[Pseudonaut]

DSDA-Doom: 6

GZDoom: 2

Eternity: 1

[Danlex]

PrBoom+: 7

GZDoom: 2

[MundyC]

GZDoom: 6

DSDA-Doom: 2

Chocolate Doom: 1

 

I use Crispy Doom about as often as Chocolate Doom; when I make vanilla-compatible levels like my Doom from memory maps.

[Not Jabba]

GZDoom: 8
Eternity: 1

 

I've used Eternity to play one thing this year, so probably it's more like 8.75 to 0.25, but whatever.

[m8f]

GZDoom: 9

 

Painted myself into the corner with this source port, so to speak.

[OniriA]

GzDoom: 8

Zandronum: 1

[Valboom]

-Crispy Doom: 4

-PrBoom+: 4

prboom-plus: 9

[LexiMax]

Odamex: 9 points

 

I actually have a number of other ports installed, but almost always for testing behavior of other ports.  Crispy for Vanilla, DSDA-Doom for MBF, a semi-recent GZDoom, and various ZDoom 2.x/Zandornum forks that I have yet to settle on.  Taken as a whole, it'd probably be 1-2 points, but separately they don't rank.

woof!: 9

 

seems like i'm the only one in this thread who uses it ):

[Noiser]

Chocolate - 9

 

I love Crispy Doom, but these days I've been only testing vanilla wads, so I must give it to Chocolate (which at this point is just ingrained in my brain lol)

[Rifleman]

GZDoom 8

ZDeamon 1 - for the occasional MP

I'm thinking of adopting the port in the near future, actually. The MBF21 featureset is really promising imo, and the idea of a Crispy-ish port that supports things like Dehextra and UMAPINFO is very appealing to me. It might end up outmoding both Crispy and PrBoom+ for me, which would be a massive win, since I'd then be able to use a single port for ~90% of my Dooming.

[Tarnsman]

Eternity Engine: 7 (for playing anything that doesn't require Zdoom)

GZDoom: 1

Chocolate Doom: 1

[WH-Wilou84]

PrBoom-plus : 5 (planning to move on to DSDA Doom soon enough, though)
ZDoom : 3
Chocolate Doom / Chocorenderlimits : 1

[Steve D]

GZDoom: 8

PrBoom+: 1

 

One thing's for sure, I'm really interested in that "SteveD oom" port. ;D

 

I use PrBoom+ exclusively for testing, but my usage will increase if I get back into the Ironman League, which is a lot of fun. Then again, maybe I should try DSDA-Doom. I'm also interested in DoomRetro. I should probably see if there's a new version of K8Vavoom as well. I like all the blood and the glowing lights, but the version I have makes music sound awful. I could go on, but IMO that's enough. :)

crispydoom 4

gzdoom 4

prboom+ 1

 

surprised that there are not more prboom fans in the thread

[Snaxalotl]

Prboom+: 4

Eternity: 3

GZDoom: 2

 

Prboom+ is so versatile and commonplace I need to give it credit

Eternity has so much going for it that I wish it was more widely used

GZDoom... As much as it deviates from vanilla doom behavior the wide modding support really adds some freshness and helps keep the community going

[Chainie]

Chocorender-limits - 4
Chocolate-Doom - 4
Gzdoom - 1
 

Because i use ports mostly for testing stuff i'm working on

[i suck at nicknames]

GZDoom- 7

Eternity- 2

PRBoom+- 1

[T.Will]

Crispy-Doom: 5 Points

PrBoom+/DSDA-Doom: 3 Points

Eternity: 1 Point

 

I’m not a ZDoom guy, so I don’t play ZDoom ports when I can. Crispy does everything right for me, but PrBoom/DSDA are the more versatile ports that I use almost as often. For rare cases I use Eternity but Chocolate is not too far behind that.

[Worm318]

GZDoom: 4
Crispy Doom: 3
PrBoom+: 2

[SleepyVelvet]

prboom-plus v2.5.1.3 (crashy mess, but it's what I have on my machine, and it has a lot of complevels and can emulate older ones accurately; and I've also gotten too comfortable with it): 9 points

dsda-doom: 0 points - I gotta switch over but don't really have big enough reason to bother yet, and I don't want to copy my settings over or know if they will even transfer.

[Salmon]

Eternity - 6
Crispy Doom - 2
GZDoom - 1

 

I use PrBoom+ for testing my own Boom maps but not enough to give it a point.

[Rook]

GZDoom: 7

Doom Retro: 2

[Bauul]

Fascinating how few people only use a single source port!

 

Can I do decimals?  Mine would be something like:

 

GZDoom 8

PRBoom+ 0.5

Crispy  0.5

 

Basically I use GZDoom 90% of the time, but occasionally use PRBoom+ or Crispy for a nice change of pace.

[Mystic 256]

I do use a lot of ports, I really love all the all the ports in their own way

so i'm just gonna go as of 3 I use the most recently as of just this week because I don't really know what my most used ports would be overall
