Mancubus chocolate doom problem

[SuperSlammer2]

I was playing around with Chocolate doom just to see what it was like. Usually I don't like playing it (blurry graphics) but I was bored and felt nostalgic. Anyways I was playing level 7 with all the mancubus guys and since I suck at dodging there fireballs, I usually hide behind walls, but when I was COMPLETLEY behind a wall where he couldn't even see me, a fireball went RIGHT THROUGH the wall and killed me! What the heck! I have never seen this behavior in Zdoom, which is what I usually play. Is this a Chocolate doom bug?

If you'd read what Chocolate Doom intends to do you'd know the answer already. It's a Doom bug, hence something Chocolate Doom does on purpose. Practically any bug listed in the engine bugs article on the Doom wiki should be present in Chocolate Doom.

That's funny. To me, 320x200 software rendering is nice and crisp with its large, discrete pixels. OpenGL ports are the ones that look blurry.

You clearly don't understand what 'blurry' means then... :D

The correct term is "blur-o-vision" (Graf Zahl's term) :-)

Nope, it's a Vanilla bug (as myk has said). Chocolate Doom is just being accurate.

Learning how to disable texture filtering was a happy day for me.

Unless that's not what you were talking about.

"Blurry" is what I consider playing say.. Quake 2, or Half-Life in OpenGL (same applies to playing any doom engine with basic linear or whatever filtering).. it just blurs the shit out of everything. GL_MIPMAP_NEAREST is what I like using with those games. 320x200 software rendering.. I don't know.. blurry isn't quite the right word for that. I suppose if you have a shitty LCD it will be blurry, but otherwise.. eh. It's just big pixels to me. I'd rather play at a higher resolution.

I think the word blurry can work for 320x200. When you're moving the scan lines create a distortion. That's something I've learned to appreciate because at higher res the graphics have a uniform appearance which I feel is more monotonous. It adds a sort of vibrance to the environment while it makes you a bit myopic :p

You have strange tastes! :D

To me 320x200 is just a pixelated mess in which trying to make out any details is impossible.

I like to see my stuff clearly defined. That's why normal DVDs don't work for me anymore after investing in HD capable equipment.

But well, to each his own I guess. But I'll never understand how anyone can actually like such low resolutions.

I can see fairly well at 320x200, and my eyes aren't all that great. :P

Is that even important with such low resolutions? :D
