I don't get why this isn't working for me. I have the latest Gzdoom but everytime i open it I can only get to the menu and then the intro and then all i get is a black screen with just the health bar and nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

Looking forward to see more of this, i wish you the best with your project. Amazing work.

Any plan to add firearms? Can be cool if guns are rare to get, same for ammo, players can use them on stronger monsters, also can use the guns to bash the zombies(no ammo? No problem). Its like dead Island with ever more limited guns(silent Hill like).

From what I've played so far, this is by far the best TC mod for Doom I've ever played! Even though it pissed me off a few times... I've certainly not seen such a gorgeous use of GZDoom, even that Island game pales in comparison. I actually recorded a let's play of it and I plan to publish it on the 30th. 8-)

It would help if you gave us crash logs or some other indication of what exactly is not working right.

I wonder if you are experiencing this: http://forum.drdteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=7444


I tried the demo and it's amazing. I don't have much to add to that really. It's quite a stunning achievement. It was quite frustrating to play and I got stuck for a long time in the room with the big spiral staircase but, yeah, amazing. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not but widescreen support would be nice. I run at 1920x1200 and on either side of the screen I can see vertical bands that the camera overlay doesn't cover. I'd have expected full widescreen support in such a technically modern-style mod.

I ended up fixing the boxing problem by forcing it to 4:3 aspect, even though it was really 720p.

wow there're still black screen errors at gzdoom? I beat one cookie that it doesn't happen over a build before dpjudas touched the gzdoom code :p (no jokes, I had alot of problem after some change he did, but at least for me, all those errors for me got fixed, maybe there're still something around there to be fixed :B)

This Mod is one of the very best I have seen, I would like to contribute sth. and exchange models if you are interested. I would love to use your models (only solid props, not the monsters)

So if you need something specific I may have it, with base code, ID and category.

I have hundreds of models currently working in my mod.

You can choose from Star Wars Jedi Knight models, Soldier Of Fortune 2, Sitters Electronics website, Half Life and the rest is a bunch of models gathered together from varius free model resource websites

Tell me if you need something ! I would love to share!

Cheers for the feedback all!

I'm going to assume the black screen issue has something to do with my funky CamTexture scene rendering method, which I have since ditched.

There'll be a new alpha going out sometime next week that should hopefully have this resolved, also allowing support for widescreen resolutions and custom FOV.. also those spiffy SSAO and Bloom post processing fx that were recently introduced to GZDoom.

Will update this thread soon :mrgreen:

Hey guys, I'm bringing this to attention because I've been in touch with Wad'a'holic pestering him to get rid of his old CameraTexture rendering and other nitpicky GZDoom-ey-related issues, and he's been really kind enough to listen to feedback. This is a beautiful game with a lot of amazing art assets, and I really wanted to enjoy the game with GZDoom's post processing shaders, so I was really looking forward to the next playable alpha release.

Anyway, new version is out, for those who're interested!

Head on to the website to grab the new version --> https://wadaholic.wordpress.com/

Downloading this now, I'm excited to play!

(Wad'a'holic you really need to hang out here more with us XD)
