I know that Kaiser is thinking on modified port to run psx doom map
directly on pc but as far as I know he is finishing other of his project
first He still need to choose the right port but I think it will be
Doomsday or risen3D
-he has already done absolution with it
-and doomsday lightning look a bit better than gzdoom/skulltag(without offense)
-in doomsday/Risen3D you can set fov refer what i said above
-lots of features that can easily ehance low detail level:(radiosity,
detail texture,model,dynamic light on texture)I just imagine psx doom with this .
the biggest issue there would be to get a way to add sector colors without going through ACS but during the map conversion step.
sector rvb lightning instead of simple light.so it simply support psx doom map format. (GL port only because zdoom is only 8 bit)
The three new creature flags would be another problem
maybe do a decoprate pack with all monster.
And of course, support for PSXDoom's graphic and music formats would have to be written (as well as the dynamic fire texture that is used for the fire sky effect).
Kaiser said in doomworld that this can be get if you check psxdoom.exe
with a hexeditor
you just gave me an idea about psxdoom music insofar as the music
is composed with some sound sample played in sequence what I think is
to do a new extension file type which will be sound sequence file
for example .psdm(psxdoom music) or whatever you want
but u have to hack the psx doom exe to have the exact sound sequence
or create custom psxdoom music
However i think everybody thought of that and I dont know anything
about hex editing and c/c++ programming
I prefer personnaly do this for zdoom so it can be played in coop/dm
for skulltag.
[edit]Kaiser said:
I converted the title screen before, so I should be able to do that, and yes, the FOV is slightly higher in psxdoom, which explains why the levels appear 'large'.
Also, bear in mind that not all colors will look good because Doom/Zdoom/whatever still uses a 8-bit color palette while PSXDoom was full 3D and is 16-bit, not 8-bit, so it did a better job blending colors. But you can get away with using a GL-based source port.
I remember being impressed by that the first time I saw it. It also helps to hide the lack of detail in some levels.
