[Not a bug] Player on top of monster

Umm, that doesn't sound right (impse, anyone?) Anyhow, if the player start is placed near enough to a monster, the monster gets fragged; I remember this behavior being different, IIRC the player got stuck. Disregard if this is normal.

Impse... har har...

It's probably just a change in the spawning code that makes it act as a telefrag. I can't really think of a situation where you would WANT the player trapped inside an enemy at spawn, and this would alleviate any issues in coop or deathmatch (monster-fest anyone?) where the player might otherwise respawn inside a roaming enemy and be unable to move.

Come to think of it, I don't know why I stuck this in "Bugs". This is an improvement, if anything. Weird me.

Yeah, this is definately an improvement. I remember one time playing a 2 player game (With Legacy, Ugh. Well, it's okay for split-screen playing, but that's only because no other ports have it.

) on Doom2 MAP15. IN Coop, there's a cyberdemon in the map, which makes for some extra action. At first, me and my brother (he was the other guy playing) tried to ignore the cyberdemon, but eventually, he decided to place himself right in front of the elevator at the start, so whenever we tried to get out, we got blasted by the cybie and forced back up to the start again. Then, the cyberdemon actually came up on the elevator and into the starting room. (!) We then had to take him out using pistols, which was a huge pain. However, even though he was in the start room, we couldn't ever telefrag him because of that stupid doom behavior. That would have been much better to just kill him like that.

On co-op, I thought it teleported you to the player 2 point with NO weapons, or has this been fixed?

Someone should add splitscreen to Zdoom.

YES!!! Legacy sucks ass, but I have to use it for split screen because... Well, you know why!

This was discussed and discarded a long time ago. There are very few people who would use such a feature, and it would probably be treated as no more than a novelty if it were implemented.

jDoom is getting splitscreen in a while. Its not ZDoom obviously, but then its not Legacy either

Hell Yes! That would rule, simply because my Brother and I play splitscreen alot, and he'a obsessed with the 3d-ness of Jdoom. Not to mention that it's not L**acy.

No thanks. I'll pass.

/sticky looks at his 15" laptop screen.... shudders to think what split screen would look like..... 4 player bond on a 20" tv, anyone? Yeah, you've all done it... it sucks.

Edit: I thought we were talking about multi screens at first... hence the change (if any of you saw this before the edit...)

My brother and his friends used to get together with their TVs (2 or 4, whatever they could scrounge) and a copy of Goldeneye and use velcro and posterboard to cover up the other players' screens. Yes, they were still tiny, but it added the ability to sneak around without your enemies knowing where you are. It's probably the l33test multiplayer you were gonna get on an N64.

When my uncle first taught me to play, we sat in the same room with our backs to each other.... It didn't take long before I turned around to see where he was, just to find him turned around looking where I was! We immediately moved one of the machine to another room.
