//=====================================================================
What is this?

A mod for Doom 2 with the weapons, monsters and some mechanics from DOOM ETERNAL, made to be Zandronum compliant, despite it not being multiplayer focused (at first)

This is not an addon, sequel or anything directly related to Death Foretold "D4T". Instead, this mod was built from scratch and aims to be only about Doom Eternal, without mixing it with anything related to Doom 2016 since they're two very different games.



//=====================================================================
Who?

DBThanatos: Main developer
Franco Tieppo: Main spriter

Additional assistance by Michaelis.



//=====================================================================
Media?

And I'm doing frequent showcases on my YT channel. Playlist

//=====================================================================
When?

When it's done™

There's no projected release date for this mod, as it is still early in development and I'm taking my sweet time to not rush it!



//=====================================================================
Can I help?

More likely than you think! This project is big in scope, small in team. So additional help could definitely come in handy, particularly in advanced ACS trickery. Since this mod is Zandronum (or GZDoom 1.9.1) compliant, there's no fancy Zscript shenanigans, and instead we have to rely on good ol' ACS shenanigans!

If you wanna help with this area, hit me up!

You never fail to impress, DBT! Also, will the pistol finally make it's appearance?

[Kinsie]

Been following your progress on Twitter. Looks great so far! You're a braver man than I trying to make this Zandro-compatible...

I wrote up a guide recently on how to extract the sounds from Doom Eternal with actual file names, which might come in useful. Let me know if you need a hand with anything else, I'm starting off on bringing D:E stuff to MetaDoom and it'd probably benefit both of us to compare notes...

[BROS_ETT_311]

Oh hell yeah!! I was just playing the vanilla compatible version of ROTS with D4T...looks like I'll be starting over.

[Gollgagh]

Fuck yeah, man!

You and Franco are doing damn good work, and I am hype as hell.

Finally, i can play my favourite mappack, but with doom eternal gameplay

[tuintje]

can't wait to test it out

[SyntherAugustus]

Good to see this being made. Look forward to the final product!

That HUD looks sweet. The weapons look sweet. Everything about this looks sweet.

On the other hand, why are you aiming for Zandronum compatibility? I'm really just curious, given you said it's not MP-focused - Zandronum compatibility limits your options pretty hard in places.

[Linz]

Yeah


Tbh it's a bug deal breaker for me,since I'm a GZDoom user primarily and have zero interest in Zandronum because I have no one to play it with,lel

Nah, I tried the pistol but it just didn't seem to play nice with the rest of DE. For KET, im just not gonna add it unless it becomes official in DE at some point.

Oh, that's definitely very interesting. While I acquired most of the sounds that I needed the hard way, be that listening to 8k sounds until I found the one I wanted or by carefully ripping them in-game, the reality is that all monster sounds are a mess! I'll definitely have a look at that guide!

And for sure, PM me if you need something, I'll be glad to help, although, considering Im in the stone age with DECORATE + ACS, I dont imagine any of the code here would be of any use to you

Thanks guys! Glad to see some people interested in this. I was made to believe not a lot of people cared for Eternal. But then again, that wasn't gonna stop me. Im unoriginal like that

Except the monster sprites. But hopefully we'll find better ones

On the other hand, why are you aiming for Zandronum compatibility? I'm really just curious, given you said it's not MP-focused - Zandronum compatibility limits your options pretty hard in places.

It's because while the mod won't support multiplayer at first (because there's less manpower in this project than in something like QCDE), multiplayer is a goal, be that for another release after the initial one, or who knows! If I code things well enough, maybe some coop will be doable or some sweet PvP. I just decided to make it a goal for the future and because of that, I have to work with all the limitations of the engine. But you know what they say: Limitations breed creativity, and some stuff that we've managed to pull in other MP mods we've done, is probably good proof of that!

That's a weird thing to say, given that zandronum mods can a) be played solo, b) offline and c) In any up-to-date version of Gzdoom. It's not like the thing is "Zandro-only dont-you-dare-run-this-in-gzdoom"

[Linz]

Right I' dumb


Something a little less weird: Will you make the max ammo count different from Doom Eternal?

[Linz]

Oh,and another question,how do you plan on handling weapon upgradez?

[DBThanatos]

That'll be for later

Im showing things little by little to kill time while this is developed. It's gonna take a long time!

[Linz]

How much still has to be done,if I may ask?
