ZDoom project ideas you have

[Matt]

I want to make a full IWAD based entirely around oldschool 2.5D play with full autoaim and no real need to lead targets on a vertically different plane, that can be enjoyed by a casual player using only basic keyboard controls, with a minimal HUD that shows what little it shows in big user-friendly letters.

Why? So I can play on my netbook while on the move when it's impracticable to put the computer on a stable flat surface or use the mouse.

No idea as to content though. ^^;

Try Doom.wad with the appropriate ZDoom settings?

[Matt]

Now there's an idea...

Meanwhile I'm tempted to try to add this gun to Hideous Destructor.

[wwwoosher]

i thought you were against adding some semi auto rifle to hideous destructor.

[Demolisher]

Mincraft Doom.

[Xaser]

Will there be a Maxcraft, too?

[Demolisher]

Yes, but I think the coolest idea would be minecraft doom. Could be done with models in gzdoom. Will probably cripple a supercomputer though. One giant sector, couple million models...

I just discovered the potential for a quirk-dependent odd, creepy, crazy or otherwise unusual mod:
Throwing out player starts just to see that my DB 2 config was ready I accidentally produced a duplicate of player 1 start. I entered the test, suddenly discovering an extra me. It didn't do anything, so I hit it, and it hurt. Me. I hit it some more, and I died.

I couldn't claim control of the extra actor with an enter script, but maybe I could do it with some (hacky) decorate.

Twitch and hack: You are your own worst enemy.
Alternate: Protect the hostages. You are the hostages.

It seems a little unfeasible actually to do it, primarily because it looks like engine-abuse.

EDIT: Also, with the possible exception of skin support (if PLAY is not valid for monsters), it might be a lot easier to produce something similar by other means. The quirk just gave me the idea.

[Xaser]

That "engine-abuse" there is commonly called a voodoo doll. They've been around since the days of doom.exe and are actually used for all sorts of special effects. Engine bug? Yes. Useful engine bug? Double yes.

[Caligari87]

Potentially leading to Graf eviscerating your internal organs with a rusty spoon and removing your fingers with a sharpened rock? Triple YES!

[Gez]

Nah, voodoo dolls are a well-documented feature by now, so they're no longer considered a hack.

[Caligari87]

I'm temped to bring up the HOM argument again just on principle now.

[Marisa the Magician]

You are the hostages.

Inb4 Counterstrike Repercussions of Evil parody.

Too...Awesome... Must RESIST....

Can't.

John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were terrorists in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a Swat team for fourteen years. When he was young he plaid with his armi guys and he said to dad "I want to be on the CT team daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE SHOT BY TERRORIESTs"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the army base of the marines he knew there were terrists.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must stop the terrorist!"
So John gotted his gold DE gun and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the terrorist
"I will shoot at him" said the terrorest and he fired the rifle. John gunned at him and tried to hedshot him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the terrorists" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the terrorists!"
And then John was a hostage.
