esselfortium Posted April 1, 2011 It's here! DOWNLOAD: http://essel.spork-chan.net/wasd/spacedm9-a.pk3 TEXTFILE: http://essel.spork-chan.net/wasd/spacedm9-a.txt REQUIRED SKULLTAG BUILD: http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=28486 The software renderer is required for SpaceDM9 to run properly. Lighting and other effects will fail in OpenGL. So, if you play in GL, don't complain about it being broken or slow :-) --- Old preview post from earlier tonight, too lazy to rewrite the description in the present tense so here you go: It's coming, tonight at midnight EST. Three gratuitously detailed, lovingly crafted newschool deathmatch maps (AIR SNARES, EAT AT PHOBO'S, and SHOGOUKI)*, masses of custom content, and (of course) an online release party, graciously hosted by Wartorn. Go back to the future again, for the very first time: April 1, 2011. This summer. *other maps will be featured in later releases Skulltag 98e-alpha - Build 3120 is required for play. 0 Share this post Link to post

esselfortium Posted April 1, 2011 Going to repost this from the thread on Skulltag: For those of you having framerate issues, try turning down your screensize using the - key. I've found that by shrinking the screensize a bit from the default, I can play all the maps with no noticeable choppiness whatsoever. Your mileage may vary on slower machines, of course. 0 Share this post Link to post
MytiS Posted April 1, 2011 I would think that eventually something would be done about the performance issues with this mod. Have you had any thoughts on them so far? 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted April 1, 2011 Air Snares (S9DM01, the orange map) might run more smoothly if Graf's recent portal optimizations were ported over to Skulltag, but I'm not sure by how much: testing it out in a recent ZDoom SVN should tell you. Shogouki (S9DM03, Space Tokyo) is more difficult; it's a wide-open layout with tons of 2-sided lines and not much to block sight. It might be possible to optimize a few more fps out of the renderer (SoM and Quasar somehow manage to seemingly do this to Eternity every time a release they're interested in has speed issues in it; Sunder was the impetus for a lot of performance improvements), but I'm not sure where to even begin to look. As for optimizing the map itself, I don't think is really possible without making major changes to the layout. My 2.0ghz machine from 2006 runs smoothly on either map if I turn down screenblocks a bit (that is, hit - a few times to show a border around the game). Shogouki still occasionally goes below 20 fps, but for the most part it stays in the 30 to 50 range to me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dco16 Posted April 1, 2011 All are awesome, haven't had a chance to DM on them yet, but S9DM03 may be the prettiest doom map I've ever seen. 0 Share this post Link to post
RottKing Posted April 1, 2011 Awww yeah, is that your Doom iPhone map I see? Also if you're having frame rate issues cause your map is too ownage........ maybe it's time to move on...... TO TRUE 3D!!!! Also take Mechadon, Insane Gazebo, and any other doom mapper squandering their awesome talent on an 18 year old game! space tokyo unreal tournament 3 edition gogogogo 0 Share this post Link to post
Mechadon Posted April 2, 2011 Agh, I haven't had a chance to check out Shogouki since you first started detailing it essel, and I was really looking forward to ogling it. It seems the Skulltag build downloads are down at the moment :( 0 Share this post Link to post

It seems the Skulltag build downloads are down at the moment :( If you just want to check it out in single-player, it should run fine in the ST version you already have. The alpha build is just to fix a netplay-related bug. 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted April 2, 2011 It looks fucking awesome. Shame I don't play deathmatch, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
