Doom-plus and Doom v1.91 hacks

About This File

The patch in PLUS incorporate's e6y's hacks to raise Doom's limits so that it can load large or complex levels, the one in LONGTICS loads the changes discovered by cph to enable v1.91 demos. Visit the Doom-plus and v1.91 sites for more info:

e6y (http://www.geocities.com/e6y/doom.html) v1.91 (http://www.doom2.net/doom2/doomp191/)

To install a hack place PATCH.COM and DOOM.EXE in the corresponding subdirectory and read text file contained therein.

Note that these patches are cumulative (you can apply them both to a single copy of Doom), and may in turn be combined with DeHackEd patches.

I don't see any point in the longtics stuff (just an unnecessary complication and incompatibility), but the limit-extending hack of Doom2.exe (Doom2-plus) is amazing work. However, it's better to get the latest version from prboom-plus.sourcefo rge.net, where there are also similar patches for (Ultimate) Doom.exe and Heretic.exe.

This is cool but I think Doom-plus should not use the same compatibility as v1.9, and neither should PrBoom in compatibility mode, because they create demos that do NOT run in v1.9, having VPOs or other issues.

^ doom-plus fully compatible with vanilla demo format, because contains no code changing. cite from e6y: "Forget about Carmack's EXE. You should use Doom2-Plus always now"

Yes, Doom-plus is compatible with "the format" but not necessarily with the results. By making Doom-plus and PrBoom output v1.9 demos, you sometimes create demos that mess up in Doom, which will try to play anything that says it's v1.9. A better alternative would have been to allow PrBoom to record v1.9 demos only in a mode like Chocolate Doom that applies the limits, giving demos depending on "limit removing" a new version number.

Longtics is very convenient for recording Deathmatch games, where otherwise players with above average aiming skills are likely to feel the impediment caused by the inferior mouse turning.

      Unloved

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
