New Doom 2 PWAD: Quake 2

[DCEmu_Newsposter]

Found this news over at the very best GP32 scene site, GP32 Extreme (http://www.gp32x.com/) [br][br] Drumaster released a new PWAD for Doom 2: Quake 2.[br] [br]You can download it either below or on his site http://lajulie.free.fr/quake2.htm[br]Note that you need Doom 2 to play it. [br][br]Its worth a try with any of the Doom Ports on the Dreamcast.[br][br]If it works please let us know, also the same site has a ton of Doom Pwads that need testing for Dreamcast compatible issues :)

All of those wads are playable on nxDoom, but the title screens are not displayed.

Simple fix: the title screens are displayed in 320x240 resolution - downsize them to 320x200, and the WADs work perfectly.

I can upload WADs with the sizes changed if wanted, but not now - it's 5:42AM - I'm supposed to be sleeping. ;)

[wraggster]

yes please Metafox ;)

what about the other wads on that site ;)

especially the starwars one

[diego777]

Can you explain a cd structure please?

I supose:

1st_read
ip
doom2.wad
quake2.wad

optional
mini.cgf
mini/blablabal



is ok?
Thanks from Argentina

I must be blind, or we're talking about different sites. :P

All I see is DukeGP, Quake II, Heretic, and Doom64.

[wraggster]

er must be me then bah :P

[MetaFox]

I found the site you were talking about.

Most of the files are total conversions, but the Star Wars mod is a partial conversion.

I've merged it with FreeDoom if you want to try it out, or I can upload the partial conversion if you'd rather.

are those mods like games of their own now?

ie just download and burn?

But, yeah - they don't need the official doom wads to work.

[Darksaviour69]

so could we release a cd image of all these mods

btw do u mean nxDoom not nxQuake

Yeah, nxDoom. Sorry, I mistyped. :-[

? - Have you or anyone else tried this? Afaik all these mods need the commercial DOOM2.WAD to work with nxDOOM (and then there's still a resolution issue with the title screens if the WAD origin is DOOM for GP32)... I'd love to be proven wrong though :o

@ diego777: Your directory structure looks like you aren't using nxDoom, but most-likely Doom4DC - I'd suggest downloading nxDoom v2.2b instead. There's a readme.txt explaining the needed directory structure.

I'd love to be proven wrong though :oI've tried 'em all on the Windows version of nxQuake and they worked fine.

The ones that didn't load up on their own, I combined with the doom2.wad replacement from FreeDoom. :P

I also changed the resolution of the GP32 screens so they'd work just fine on non-GP32 platforms such as Dreamcast. :)

[Christuserloeser]

Interesting, but i still think they won't work with nxDoom for Dreamcast :'(
I'll try it out and report back asap though.

Interesting, but i still think they won't work with nxDoom for Dreamcast :'(If they work with nxDoom for Windows, they work for Dreamcast. It's the same codebase.

[wraggster]

hmm any chance of a cd image :)

[Christuserloeser]

Let's try them out with nxDoom. DCEvo has a started project that's currently on hold because of the need of the commercial Doom2.wad in order to get them working with nxDoom for DC.
@Meta: Check the Contributors forum at DCEvo. ;)

[wraggster]

good stuff nice to see

lets hope we can get an image sorted asap :)
