zdoom +sv_cheats 0 -skill 5

Post by adx »

playing the old DOOm fashion way seems to be hard. (no jumps, no mouse, just purely keyb) anyway, can anyone here finish the wolfenstein level in doom2? (without cheating) it seems to be a little hard playing it the old ddom way. i wonder if gamers at those time are very adept in using the keyboard in FPS games

i'm REALLY experienced using the keyboard for FPS games today. [i'm better with it, and i'm unconfortable playing FPS games using the mouse] I beat both the wolfenstein levels using a keyboard, no cheats or jumping.

Eh? Why would you need to jump for a Wolfenstein level?


... I said no for the poll, by the way. The only time I have ever cheated was when I was testing against some of my DECORATE monsters and when playing some levels of Mock2.

i die most of the time when the wad/level contains too many archvile, thats when playing the old fashion way, but in ZDoom way, that would be too easy, maybe i got problem in aiming using the arrow keys

Like most people here, I've made it through all of dos doom2 without cheating several times; however, these days, in a jam, my hand has been occasionally known to accidently slip onto the key I have bound to "summon megasphere".... :oops:

Sounds like the time I rebound my chasecam key to "quit", then spent a week trying to find out why ZDoom kept dying when I went to activate chasecam...

I usually don't use cheats while playing, even though 95% of my keyboard is bound to cheats. :P

The best way to enjoy a level is playing it in Ultra Violence, since Nightmare would be just too frustrating (pissing mostly) to try on any map.

The other way is a cheating trip....but IDDQD + IDFA only, otherwise there's no way a map can be interesting at all. Cheating for the key set equals to anal sex with a shoe.

When I am playing for entertainment; skill four, no cheats. When I am checking out a new wad I usually play on UV and cheat when I am about to die.
I have keys bound to give all, god, infinite ammo, noclip and fast weapons 2. Some of these are for testing purposes.

You are desperately missing the "sometimes" option.

Heh, I think you're getting rather confused here. Doom has always supported the mouse (I think mouse support was probably in the first ever alpha). Heck, Wolfenstein 3D had mouse support, though I'm not so sure about Catacomb Abyss. Regardless, the mouse is hardly a new invention - you could even get a mouse for the ZX Spectrum :p

What Doom doesn't support, except in ports, is mouselook, i.e. looking up/down.
