Patch of Powers

About This File

Full description is in the Powers!.txt file in the zip, but I can summarize it: this patch gives your players special powers no one thought would ever be in Doom. Using it you can revive enemies, create drones to fight for you, and jump. You heard me, JUMP! Hence the much more noticable name, Jumper. So don't just sit there, download this patch! The powers are also in seperate patch files for working on them individually. Read the text file first.

This is dated April 1997, just two months ago. Can you imagine how incredible it would be if you could jump in Doom? Actually jump upwards, instead of leaping horizontally? That would be awesome. I imagine a future world where Id software put out a patch... or perhaps they release the source code for Doom, and an intrepid coder could actually build this functionally into the engine! It might not happen for many years though.

^^^ Was the above comment made in 1997 or what? In any case, these are three DEH patched that will allow you to jump, revive monsters, or summon a drone that attacks other monsters (or even all three powers combined). They do work, even in source ports, but the results are sketchy at best e.g. the jump damages you and is hard to control, the reviver is hard to aim, and the drone won't attack anything unless attacked. Pretty impressive considering they are vanilla hacks though. 5/5 -Maes

I've loaded up every different DEH file in here, both under DOS and ZDoom, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get them to work. Is there a certain weapon I should use? Sounds ambitious for it's time but I guess I won't get to see how well this early jumping works. And yeah, that top review seems about 15 years old.. Jumping has been in Doom sourceports since 1999, to my knowledge.

      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.

      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.
