That red stuff that runs through your veins.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned an unstable teleportation device that may or may not open up a gateway to hell. I would be REALLY surprised if i found that in the box :)

I can't be arsed to go over every post in this thread, so forgive me if i repeat anything.

Q3A's pak is about 475 megs. 120mb is video, wich D3 won't have; just scripted ingame stuff.
Q3 has 160 megs of music. In wav format, zipped. I'm fairly sure D3 will use mp3 for pretty much all sounds, wich is a helluva lot tighter than zipped wav files. Actually, winzip says that all the music has 0% compression.

So that's at least 200mb that's simply WASTED in Q3 compared to D3. I guess most bumpmaps and pretty much anything that makes up the textures would do just fine as gifs, and would probably be easy enough on the filesize, even if it takes more than it used to.

Anyway, having an install disc and a play disc wouldn't bother me at all. Installing an ID game is something you only do once anyway ;)

I think Ep1 of this was released more than a year ago.. but i might be wrong. Anyway, the first episode rocked, can't wait for the rest :)

Fredrik? ARE YOU MAD? Then what will we blast dosens of to the floor at the same time with a single supershotgun-shot? Or run through hordes of with a spinning chainsaw? or.. or...?

Zombieguys are just fun, let them be :D

JPEG ruins it and GIF robs it of 90% of color. Sorry there.

I think 256 colors is enough for a B&W drawing like this, so gif should do just fine. As for JPEG, try not using maximum comression.
Even an uncompressed jpeg of this pic sure as fuck won't go over ONE MEG!

Hey, nice ti.... drawing :P

as if i don't have enough to spend my money on? 72000 rpm HD, new mobo, RAM and CPU, GPU. Another $100 for a DVD-rom isn't too attractive, esp since i already have a DVD-player and can watch DVD movies anyway.

CD's are just fine. Prolly won't be more than two or three anyway. Baldur's gate had 5 cd's, didn't bother me at all.

If you're getting a GF4 MX, Get the 440, not the 420. Huge difference in performance, not so much in price.
IMO, GF4MX should be called GF3mx, since it's really just a cheapo GF3 without any of the fancy features, and slower than any GF3 card.
In any case, do NOT get a MX card for playing Doom, they don't have the technology you need. Save up and get something really good instead :)

A random figure of one of the characters\monsters would be helluva cool, even tho i'd buy a new box every month when the paycheck comes in ;)

Come on.. that project was doomed from the beginning.

I AM T3H SUPAR FUNNEY!!!!!!

I have gotten that face when walking in the slime on E1M1 once. I'm not sure if it was 1.9 or 1.666 i was playing at the time tho. Any more related code in there?

It's really not as simple as it sounds.. I often find myself playing a map 20 times in a row getting 1:30 while the record is 0:45 or so. Not that i spend enough time on it to be very good.

A map using only the wolf textures, but without the wolf-esque blockyness.

Well, I dunno if he's pfffting AT you or WITH you, but I'm pfffting AT you, pffft!
Why? Because you had the ignorance to say that "Doom has no story" - 'cause it has, just not as advanced as in some other games.

Actually, i was pffting at the common claim among gamers that doom has no story. Dooms story implementation is a work of art IMO, superior to halflife. Doom is mysterious, you gotta do some detective work. Looking at the maps and reading the texts will reaveal it :)

Ah, obviously. How naive of me to not get that at once =)

Fredrik said:

Hmm... now you're getting lame ideas =P

No, it's just your primitive swedish brain that's uable to comprehend the genious that is me.

Fredrik said:

Both at once. :P

Thaets impossabal! Yuo have t3h evile plans! Reveal them at once!

Yeah, and you have to bind an additional key for shooting. If q3 had this, i'd be in trouble as pretty much all of my keys are bound already :)

as long as they keep in mind that it should be scary, not nausiating(sp?). I don't wanna keep a bucket ready while playing in case i need to puke :P

Fredrik said:

Pfft. True doomers know the story by instinct. It cannot be explained... it just is.

Young man! Are you pffting AT me or WITH me? :P

Whatever it is, make sure there's a kind of deamon that likes to eat batteries. Can't have lots of batteries lying around the base when you have a flashlight ;)

I always supposed the fabric of reality is so unstable in the proximity of the gates that both dimensions merged together.

hmm, yeah. That would explain why the whole damn moon is suddenly floating in another dimention.

Doom has no story.. pfffFFFFffft! You have to figure it out yourself. Fucking brilliant :)

*Wallrunning
*BFG tactics (silent BFG included)
*Strafe 50
*Bumping forth and back to grab items at a certain difficult height
*Jumping/Mouselook(?); possibily, since Carmack has mentioned certain features could not be done in Doom due to limitations they had with the old Doom engine back in '93, including rooms above rooms. Overall, I don't wish that they will have the same plain gayness, jumping + mouselooking, from Quake in the new Doom.

WTF?? All this shit is either BUGS or limitations of the technology of the day. If they knew starfe50, silentBFG and wallrunnig was possible, they would probably have fixed it. If they could\thought of making mouselook and jumping, they would.

If you think any of those ideas are even remotely gonna make it, then you, Sir, is an [insert witty insult here].

Let it be known that i love all those things in doom and doom2, But i don't want them to return anyway. Afterall, D3 IS about realism. That's part of what will make it fun. It's supposed to fool you as much as possible into thinking it's real. Not being able to jump and look up and down sorta fucks that up, don't you think? Are you wearing some kinda weird collar and lead boots in the game perhaps?

Ooooh, 666 posts. I'm t3h 3V1L!

Well, sounds like a good idea, IF you have to run through half the map with a bigass monster following you and then find a gun that's big enough to take him out and then have him drop a key you need to get on :)

I really really REALLY hope hissy makes it into D3. It's the monster that would potentially benefit the most from the new engine. Imagine that thing opening it's mouth, the fireball grows inside, casting a light out. You see the shadows of his teeth on the wall *drools*. It'd be like seeing an old favorite in real life. The cartoonyness is easy to fix.. Just alter the colors a little.
