Fast Doom

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

Fast Doom

Post by Rowsol »

Small mod I made just for the hell of it.

Halved the tic duration of all monster and weapon states. Doubled projectile speed. Things are twice as fast basically. Can you survive? I couldn't.

But are all the sound effects sped up to chipmunk levels, too? :P

I've always thought that mods like this should include a tweaked xlat that doubles door/plat/etc speeds.

I hope you also made sure to double up weapon switching, too.

For sure, as well as bobbing. No idea how to do xlat but if someone cared enough to do it I'd throw it in the mod.

As I suspected, it's as simple as changing the speed defines. Here you go!

One other thing: Does this account for odd-numbered tic amounts? I'm wondering how much accuracy is maintained here. :P

Yea, doubled the fastspeeds too.

Is this file not plug and play? I got numerous errors on map01 so I warped to map02 where I got no errors but I couldn't flip the first switch.

I used random() in place of odd numbers, so yes, perfect accuracy assuming the wiki is correct and you're okay with some variation in the speed.

Code: Select all

Honestly, all we're missing here is just white gloves for Doomguy.

Tried it, meddled with the chaingun. Still not fast enough. But then I set sv_fastweapons to 3. I never loved the chaingun this much.

Huh, I had an errant comma in there. No idea why it worked fine when I tested it. :?

I just reuploaded it with a fix, so it should be alright.
