A question about Freedoom.

[GraphicBleeder]

I apologize if this sounds stupid, but I have a question:

Is Freedoom its own set of maps, or is it just Doom maps with Freedoom textures?


Edit 2/5/21: Okay guys. I know what Freedoom is now, you can stop answering this now.

It's they own set of maps and textures.

Freedoom is very much a beast of a different colour. It's basically Doom's weird little brother built by members of the community to create free content utilising id Tech 1. You can read more about it on the Doomwiki if you want greater details.

it's basically a whole new game

Graphical wise, tech and gameplay, its still the good old Doom.

I really like the direction Freedoom is going.
Episode 1 of Freedoom Phase 2 is an amazing vanilla compatible endeavour.
Seriously fun maps!
Hope the second and third chapter goes vanilla, too.
But some maps seems to have a high amount of details for that.
Don't know if there is a possibility to vanillafy them.

You know how Heretic has new enemies, monsters, textures, new a bunch of stuff? It's still on the doom engine, but it's not just Doom.

Freedoom is kinda like Heretic except it's on a midpoint between "different game" where Heretic lies and "100% Doom".

Interesting thing is that you can play Doom mods on top of Freedoom without needing Doom

That's because Freedoom is an IWAD

Freedoom is its own set of maps, textures, music, sfx, all that stuff.

A Doom clone with its own corresponding weapons, items, and enemies that runs on the Doom engine for free

Actually, it's fully compatible with wads made for TNT and Plutonia. So you can play Revilution and Plutonia 2 with FreeDoom Phase 2

yeah, you can also play many other fan made wads too, [even Sigil, although not fan made....]

I wanted to note that this was in the update log from Freedoom 0.12.0:

Quote

Final Doom compatibility de-emphasized. Where it creates conflicts with Doom II mods or texture definitions, we prefer the Doom II side of things. Final Doom-specific maps and mods may never look completely right in Freedoom, as a result.

So it is compatible with TNT and Plutonia but there's no promise of perfect compatibility and Doom II compatibility is prioritized first.

But hey, at least it is compatible
