ZDoom Community 2018 HeXmas Special!

[Rachael]

Sounds good, I added you to the roster.

I have few questions:

1. Is out target source port ZDoom/GZDoom? What about GZDoom-only features?
2. When can we expect GitHub and Discord links?
3. So we're going to make serious Hexen maps (not Christmas themed) which feature snow and ice in some form? Do I get it right?

1. GZDoom only features are fine. Anything up to 3.6.0, including ZScript, are all okay. But make sure that you know how to integrate it into a GitHub repository if you're going to use non-mapping resources (i.e. textures, zscript, etc). If a new version of GZDoom releases before this does, using the features from the new version is fine, too.

2. We're using the official ZDoom Discord. If you are already there, let me know your name and I'll give you the role. I haven't started the GitHub repo yet because I don't have anything to start it with, yet.

3. Any winter or Christmas theme.

I'd like to make a map, sounds fun. Username is whirledtsar on the Discord.

Sounds good - I added you.

GitHub repo created and added to the first post.

Added rules about software renderer support.

Code: Select all • Expand view

7. This mapset will be OpenGL focused. If your map works in the software renderer, great, but if not, don't lose any sleep over it.
8. On that note please do *NOT* include any renderer checks which break your map or annoy the user based on the renderer type the user is using - that will result in instant rejection.

I guess i could take a crack at making hexen map. Count me in.

[Rachael]

Excellent! I will add you.

[XxMiltenXx]
