So you basically spliced the DOOM 64 EX files and adapted them for ZDOOM usage?

I think this is a great step towards another flavour of Doom64. After Footman stopped working on his stuff I feared that this idea was dead. Good to see some work has been done. It's a great foundation and it's nice to be able to use D64 stuff with Obhack and have lots of random D64 levels at last!

This is great to see. From what I've checked out so far there's still a way to go in terms of making the maps fully compatible, but you've done a great job already. I might even start tinkering with this myself as an aside.

@Average: Most of Footman's detractors are no longer on the boards, thankfully. Given that this is a conversion of Absolution rather than D64EX the two should coexist peacefully. I hope :P

Just as an FYI: Though it's not being actively worked on, ZDoom has a Doom 64 branch that will support the original game and its levels.

I see you've put a lot of work into this, but I noticed some of the PC Doom graphics are still there, which looks rather strange with Doom 64 graphics. Also, I think that you should've used the Doom 64 palette for this, everything looks grainy (yet it does have a feel to its own like this).

Why is it not being actively worked on? If ZDoom supports all the games running on the Doom engine, then we should be able to play Doom 64 as well. It just makes no sense at all for it to not be worked on. I understand that the creators of ZDoom have lives, but still, why would they not want to finish getting a stable ZDoom compatible Doom 64?

Doom 64, it should be pointed out, does not have a "palette" - every individual graphic seems to have its own palette. Therefore, it does end up looking pretty terrible in software rendering.

It's not nearly as easy as it sounds. I'm sure Blzut3 has more in-depth reasoning as to why, but know that it's not "just that simple."
