Bagatur Posted February 28, 2002 sorry if this forum isnot the place for my question :( i got doom collector's edition, and when i try to play ultimate doom, my mouse just wouldnt get set up :( it wont even get enabled :( what should i do? seems like it is the mouse tab problem in general because when i change mouse setting, press enable, then click some other tab and then go back to mouse tab immediately - the enable button is highlighted again as if the changes i made previously were not saved :(( any suggestions? 0 Share this post Link to post

KING ELVIS Posted February 28, 2002 what is a source port and what do i do with it? and where do i get it? Try to start with the MyDoom KING or NEWBIE release :) from http://kickme.to/theking ...also take a closer look at Doomworld itself... http://www.doomworld.com/ports/index.shtml 0 Share this post Link to post
Zro Posted February 28, 2002 Here are few sourceports: Zdoom Jdoom EDGE And they are basicly new engines for Doom, most of them allow jumping, looking up and down, and other stuff. In case you don't want these features, go get teamtnt.com]PRBoom 0 Share this post Link to post
Bagatur Posted February 28, 2002 i should have looked at port section of this website :) so doom really plays like quake now? does any of these wads have an always run option? :) thanx again! 0 Share this post Link to post
Zro Posted February 28, 2002 In most sourceports always run is capslock, but you should RTFM! 0 Share this post Link to post

Vorpal Posted March 1, 2002 Boom is NOT "just another doom(2).exe" BBG. Do you know how much fucking work went into that port? And then how many source ports are based on it? 0 Share this post Link to post

Just try them all, and see which one you prefer... BUT DON'T COME HERE AND TELL ME ABOUT IT, OK? 0 Share this post Link to post

If you don't understand this and if you can't get into your brain: I can't help ! It is at http://kickme.to/theking go there, download the KING release, then unzip the stuff, go to http://kdx.kingdoom.ath.cx and download the KDX4-0-114_beta.zip, it is an update, you will find there also a folder doomport_configs, it is full of snippets for building a doomports.cfg file for the frontend. Currently tested and supported are: csdoom doom3d doom4win edge jdoom jdoom-unified jheretic jhexen legacy netdoom prboom skulltag vavoom windoom zdaemon zdoom122 zdoom123 zdoomgl 0 Share this post Link to post
FrozenGhost Posted March 1, 2002 I have run into the mouse problem as well. I'm running the Collector's Edition on Windows 2000 and the ReadMe states that the mouse just won't work with Windows 2000. It also says that Jdoom (I think that was it) may fix the problem. Unfortunitly I'm running on a laptop and Jdoom requires a voodoo card. Will one of these ports solve my problem or am just hammered on this one? The Frozen Ghost 0 Share this post Link to post
