At this particular moment in time I don't believe I have a healthier or more deeply-felt respect for any Doomer in the universe than Sarah

I just gave it a try for a few minutes before my launch break and I have to say it‘s already very entertaining how some modern effects have been achieved in Vanilla Doom. Absolutely impressive work!

I love these de-re-makes (v-makes? v-remakes? Vanilla remakes?)

Setting the renderer to 256-color software mode (Doom Software Renderer) will make the warning go away and ensure that the effects and lighting appear properly.

In non-supported renderers, a lot of the lighting will appear to be completely off, which is not intended. Here are some examples of what I mean:

256-color software: (Image)
True-color software with bugged lighting: (Image)

256-color software: (image)
Hardware renderer with missing reflections: (image)

This is because the software renderer was never intended for the player to be able to look up and down. Best advice for authenticity is to disable mouse look and turn auto aim up to the highest.
