ZDoom

Ladies and gentledemons, we all know about Thatcher's Techbase . on november 29, Henry Kissinger kicked the bucket. there is a tremendous opportunity here. the opportunity for a WAD like no other. a WAD which will single handedly - through artistic might - reverse the disastrous direction of ...

Oh, thank you !

Hi all, I want to morph the player into a female version for one area of the map and back. The female character is called "Telos", so I have got some sounds and defined them in SNDINFO as follows: FEMUSER1 FEMUSER1 FEMDEATH FEMDEATH FEMPAIN1 FEMPAIN1 FEMPAIN2 FEMPAIN2 FEMPAIN3 FEMPAIN3 FEMPAIN4 ...

I have a static portal set up going between two copies of a house. Both lineportals are set up correctly. They are aligned to the grid, have a space for the player, and precisely the same length and angle (though facing opposite directions). They do have fixed point lengths instead of integer, which ...

Oh nooooooo :{
Do you have any idea how one might go about implementing it?

Hi All, I'm making a horror wad and I think it'd be cool to break the fourth wall at one point and have a demon address the player by their real name, or at least the name of their user account in their system. Since gzdoom is running C/C++ this should be easy to implement for windows and linux ...
