Doom mods fully compatible with freedoom

[niculinux]

Hello!

ow ya doin' folks? I'd like to have a nice topic where to put in various mods/addons/tottal conversion/etc fully compatible with freedoom! (kinda of Cool mods people might have missed in the Projects board).

OK let the fun start

Technically, pretty much any Doom 2 mod?
However, if it adds new frames to existing things, it will look bad.
Hmm, Xaser's Psychic works well with Freedoom, I tried it.
Also, you should check out mutators, mods that don't add any new content except for code.

I know for sure that some mutators will not work if they use Textures effects. Style Mod kind of works, but some of the weapons (the Dual Neutron Disruptor and Tech Laser in particular) look incredibly stupid. Xaser's Parkour may suffer the same problem.

yes. though freedoom offers also an ultimate iwad that allows doom and ultimate doom mods to run wiht a freedoom version of the first doom, check here. Also are listed source ports that works with freedoom.

ok, thanks again but i'm far from being a programmer...

Samsara works surprisingly well in Freedoom.

Ketchup works like Brutal FreeDoom, but without fancy fire particles and fatalities.

If it doesn't replace much or it replaces basically everything it should work fine, as much sense as that makes. If it's in between, it'll probably work and it'll probably be ugly. I tested a few mods out of curiosity.

Brutal Doom works, but looks horrible. Diaz: Last Hours of Purity seems to work pretty well. I don't know if it's an issue with newer versions of ZDoom or if I just suck, but I've never been able to beat the first level of Action Doom. What worked with DOOM2.WAD worked with Freedoom as well.

I'm wondering if Back To Saturn X, being what someone would call a TRUE replacement for everything in the game, would work and look flawlessly in FreeDoom

Let's consider that the monster sprites were rearranged to match the new and quite fancy palette, and if my memory serves me right, there's not a single IWAD texture being used in the whole Episode.

I avoided adding any sprite edits in Make It Snappy! specifically to keep it Freedoom-compatible.
