Team based Doom mod?

[Lizardcommando]

Is it possible to make a team based Doom mod like TFC or Counterstrike with any of the ports that are available or would I have to know some programming (C++, etc.) in order to make a team based Doom mod?

Probably a simple source mod based off Hexen's system.

You could use SkullTag as a base perhaps, as it has a team system. It includes various teamplay modes already (i.e. team deathmatch, CTF, skulltag). However I'm strongly against any sort of Counterstrike attempt in the doom community. :P

Note: The last comment was not meant to start a flamewar about counterstrike.

Hmm, I guess just a regular team based Doom mod is possible by the looks of Skulltag, but here's what I'm curious about: (this question is sorta weird, but I'll try my best to ask it...) Is it possible to have classes in a team based Doom mod? For example, having a TFC type mod for Doom. You'd have the basic grunt, then the medic, heavy weapons guy, etc.

well, it possable, seeing as Hexen did it, and seeing as more then a few ports support doom, heretic and hexen then it would be possable, but you'd need to mess around with the source to do it. maybe with a future version of zdoom it might be possable...

heh i'm not sure you'd have to edit the source to do this, but that does sound like it would be scripting hell.
