Doomsday,Prboom, Legacy + 22 Games

[MU]

I made 3 Dotpups of Doom-Engines.
Legacy is very fast, but has no Midi-Music.
It should not require additional Libraries.
Prboom can play Midi-Music,but is slower.
Doomsday is "State of the art" with OpenGL-Support.

All 3 Engines now have a menu to select from 22 different games.


Doomsday is the OpenGL-Gameengine to play games based on Doom/Doom2, Heretic and Hexen (Legacy: no Hexen, Prboom: no Hexen,no Heretic).

You can see a screenshot here: http://dotpups.de/pics/puppy/doomsday2.jpg
It just looks a bit corrupted, as it is difficult to grab OpenGL-Games.
But it shows the high-quality-textures in OpenGL, and the beautifull light-effects.

This picture shows Prboom:

Doomsday has high requirements on the grafics, so it might be just usable with 3D-acellerated Graficscards.

I added Dotpups with the Games / Mods:

Doom1 (Shareware)
Freedoom 0.4 (Doom2-clone)- this version was just released some days ago.
** New Doom ** 32 new Maps for Doom2 - released on 1.1.2006 *great!*
Alien Conversion for Doom2 - shoot Aliens like in the Movie
Biowar - Single-player Mod for Doom2.
Hexen (Shareware)
Heretic (Shareware)
Duke-Nukem 3D-Clone
Hellraiser
Star-Trek
Western
...and 11 more!...

Most of them need Freedoom to run (or Doom2 that I cannot include).
Freedoom itself misses some Grafics, but several Mods have their own ones.

If you have a full version of one of the Shareware-games, replace /usr/local/wads/xxx.wad with your one.

Bugs:
Alien was designed to run with a patched Doom2.exe from Windows.
So it might not work correct.
You can start the game, but if you run in walls you might stick in them - so save often. I just tried some steps.
NewDoom has 2 Levels that shall not work with Doomsday (06 and 27).
So use cheatcodes in the end of 5 and 26:
idclev 07
and
idclev 28

If Doomsday freezes your computer, replace the MAXZONE = "256m" in /usr/local/doomsday186/doomsday with other (higher) values.

Doomsday and Prboom require the SDL-libs, I recommend installing the MIDI-Dotpup, too:

If you have a fast computer, you can enhance the Quality of Doomsday with the following resourcepack.
It replaces 2D-animations ("Sprites") with 3D-Models.

This picture shows a Zombie-soldier in Freedoom:

And like this it looks like with the resourcepack:

Get the resourcepack here (32 MB extracted!):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/Doomsda ... k-1.01.pup

Important:
It might crash your computer.

If that is the case, try this:
in /usr/local/doomsday186/doomsday, set the MAXZONE to "256m" or higher.
In Doom itself, in the "controlpanel - particles" set particles to "no".

My crashes and slowdowns using the resourcepack were due to a bug in my X.org 6.9rc1.
With X.org 6.8.1 it works perfect and fast

So if you have a good working Graficscard, activate all models, and particles (I just saw, the fireballs have dark smoketrails now- awesome!).

You might want to delete /usr/local/doomsday186/jDoom.cfg , as it seems I did not set it up correct.
If you delete it, a new one will be created automatically.

I updated the Dotpups with correct configs.

Here is another Dotpup, that adds High-resolution Textures to jDoom (Doomsday).

Download (64 MB):

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/Doomsda ... xtures.pup

Note you need temporarily 130 MB free Diskspace while installation.


Like this Freedoom looks without them:



And like this with the new textures:



I inluded Textures for Doom2 (Freedoom) and Doom1, not for Plutonia/TNT.

I don't know if it is a bug from my Graficscard, or from Linux-Doomsday: there is no sky. You just see "garbage".
If that is true for you, install this patch, it will add a sky to all levels.
It is a nice sky, but always the same in every level. But that is better than garbage.

Download (1.6 MB):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/Doomsda ... -patch.pup

**edit** read further down for a 10MB-patch with 7 skies.

jDarken2 (Addon for Doomsday)

This replaces the "characters", behaviour (speed), weapons and sounds from Doom2 with the Characters from "Quake - the Darkening".

Info and Screenshots:
http://doomcity.jfiles.org/index.php?pa ... m_jdarken2

With this Addon you can not play Doom1, the monsters become invisible.
It was created for the Mod "Darkening2" , that you can get here:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/Doomsda ... sed-Games/

But it seems to work with Doom2 itself and other mods, too.

I did not add the Music-pack, because it is real ugly.

Before you install, backup /usr/share/deng/Defs/jDoom/jDoom.ded , because it will be overwritten and deleted, when you uninstall this Dotpup.

MU,
I have installed prboom + freedom + biowar. When I select biowar
the default freedom wad is started. How can I play other wads ?

Here is the console output of #./Prboommenu when I select biowar

[MU]

That was a small bug in my menu
I uploaded a corrected Prboom now
Simply install again.

quake2-doom2 does not work with prboom

[bugman]

I think I'm missing something here, I downloaded doom legacy, freedoom, doom1, and heretic 2 from the site. Installed the dot.pups. I get the menu, it has three choices. Clicking on any of them just brings back the menu, no game starts. Mildly bewildered...

[MU]

Yes, right.
Not every wad might work with every engine.
The ones on the downloadsite work all with Doomsday, the others I did not test in detail.
Quake2-doom2 works with legacy.
I currently try to compile vavoom (tip from bombayrockers).
But it needs GL-libraries, that take very long to compile.
Maybe I'll try to find some binaries.

Mark

[MU]

Bugman, try to run them from a console, for example

cd /usr/local/Prboom
./Prboomstart

Then you might get a message about missing libraries, that allows to help further.
Mark

[bugman]

okay, I downloaded prboom and the sdl libraries and prboom works. But legacy (that is what "doommenu" is, right?) does not...

[Guest]

yes I tried to compile vavoom but ran into errors with glbsp. quake2 works with doom legacy.

[MU]

bugman, yes for legacy it is doomenu.

Try this command:
ldd llxdoom

Does it give you a error?

[bugman]

Thanks, I will work some combos, as it were. I'm on a dialup so hadn't gotten too far into the list. Very wonderful of MU to do this work just so I can stop being such a constant annoyance to the wife...

[bugman]

I tried ldd llxdoom in rxvt and got a no such file or directory message...

[MU]

cd /usr/local/Doom-legacy
ldd llxdoom

[bugman]

# ldd llxdoom
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40017000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40026000)

So I probably need libXxf86vm.so.1, eh?
