If you goto NewDOOM.com or DOOMWorld.com you'll see that ZDOOM 2.0.91 has recently released. It is not a port I use often, but I know it is packed for of some interesting and powerful features, including sloped floors, and advanced scripting languages among other things. Looks GREAT in software mode, keeps original DOOM aspect ratio.

Anhow, it has been compatable with DOOM, Heretic, and Hexen for a long while, but now it finally supports Strife 100%. Definatly something worth checking into! Not only would it be a powerful, yet simple and easy construction kit for aspiring 3D mappingers and game designers, but also a way to tap into Strife despite the fact we do not have the sources to it. Also we'd get all the ZDOOM MODs for DOOM, Heretic, Hexen, and an ass load of amazing features.

It's times like this I really wish I knew how to code. This would be like the SCUMMVM or Sarien of retro FPS', with Dev kit to boot!

I loved the Heretic and Hexen games. It would indeed be nice to have those on the XBox.

Strife!?
What the freddy fucker is that

if this is a game i've never heard of it before, but im assuming its an old school fps game
and can anyone post a link to some shareware of that game so i can try it out

well zdoom and doomsday are both good engines doomsday looks far better than zdoom adn zdoom has lots of ohter nice things like 32 players in the net where as doomsday only has two also zdoom has two player split screen i bleive it also has ctf modes this would be a f***** great game for lan even though i prfer doomsday i think a port of zdoom would be better becasue if it two player coop and two player deathmatch plus doomsday has high specs also
anways this is just my 2 cents

Blue Shogun: It is AWSOME to hear that you are working on a Heretic port...

...I hope it will someday support external script and WAD level loading...

...but either way, glad to hear this game is getting ported, I've been playing the HELL out of DOOMX, and I know Hexen will be just as addictive.

DeathX88: You can grab Strife (one of the best FPS RPG's EVER) here:

http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=1075

Then go grab the latest ZDOOM EXE (currently 2.0.9.1) here:

http://www.zdoom.org/files/lars/91.cab

Drop both the Strife wads in its directory, and load up. You may need to drag both wads on top of the ZDOOM exe to get them to work right, or you can simply merge them in WinTex to be sure.

-----------------

As for ZDOOM VS DOOMsDay...

...currently DOOMsDay is not good at anything besides being an UTTER resource hog, and providing AWSOME eye candy.

ZDOOM on the other hand is like an awsome old skool meets new skool FPS editing enviroment. I prefer Legacy to it, but Legacy is in a transitional state form C to C++ with many features on the way...

...so it is a ways off to be expecting a port of it. On the other hand ZDOOM is here, ready, resource friendly, and VERY expandable, totally worth a port if possible.

I am familiar with Legacy's Fraggle Script and have been taking an interest in coding in C and or C++, I'll have a look at that Game Tutorials page. Thankx for the link Shogun.

thanks xdelusion

as for zdoom vs. doomsday

i think that doomsday is more user friendly, more options for you to customize and all that good stuff, i also perfer to play all of the original levels of doom, doom 2, heretic, and hexen on doomsday because it looks better

but as for zdoom, this is the shit for the things you can do with it,
i just got done playing a demo level of sonic doom, and damn he did a hell of a job
i also played some of team tnt's levels that are also friggen awesome

but cheers to both of those anyway

strife - that's a class game, used to play it back in the day (dos day's). Mad twist and turns.
