Source Ports Doomworld Uses [adding up later this month]

[baja blast rd.]

Results so far, if anyone is wondering. 93 people are included in the tally at this point (before Arrowhead's post). 

 

I'll just drop this here instead of in the OP for now, because it'll be formatted differently at the end anyway and I'd rather results not influence future contributions. (Reply before reading results if possible.)

DSDA-Doom : 7

GZDoom: 1

Eternity: 1

[Darch]

ZDoom: 5

PRBoom: 4

[antares031]

DSDA-Doom - 7

Eternity - 1

GZDoom - 1

 

I do use other source ports as well, but I only use them for special reasons, such as using ChocoRenderLimits for vanilla doom stress test, ZDaemon/Zandronum for multiplayer, etc.

[Korp]

GZDoom: 6

Zandronum: 2

Chocolate Doom: 1

 

Mods are fun :P

[cannonball]

Currently it is;

DSDA-doom - 8

Chocolate doom - 1

 

I have recently moved over from pr-boom plus to DSDA so this is probably the most accurate breakdown. I do have gzdoom on my laptop but rarely (if ever use it because I haven’t really had the time to play mods that require it, same with Eternity though I really need to play heartland).

[Argenteo]

Eternity: 8
Gzdoom: 1

 

[Firedust]

Zdoom: 6

 

I use it literally for everything except slaughtermaps (because some of those make my framerate drop to like 5 fps) and mapsets requiring gzdoom

 

prboom: 2

 

Gzdoom: 1

[yakfak]

dsda-doom - 5

eternity - 3

.exe - 1

[ketmar]

k8vavoom: 9 (of course; but i'm indeed using it for *all* maps ;-)

but it handles Boom wall scrollers in some weird way

if you don't report it, i can't fix it. please, report! ;-)

 

[GoneAway]

If you're going to group woof / pooch and dsda-doom / prboom+, I think it would make sense to group crispy / choco for the final counts.

[Crusader No Regret]

PrBoom+ - 6

GZDoom  - 3

 

Just familiarity.  Favored a port that can record vanilla compatible demos; never mind that I'm not really grinding speedrun demos these days.  PrBoom+ is my general go-to with GZDoom there for stuff that requires a ZDoom derivative or when I want to play with the -ressurect console command.

[Swalzi]

Crispy: 6
Woof!: 2
DSDA-Doom: 1

[Jacek Bourne]

DSDA Doom: 4

GzDoom: 1

Solo 3 porte sorgente (massimo)

Edited August 12, 2021 by Valboom

[BCHQ]

GZDoom 7

prBoom+ 2

 

I actually prefer the prBoom+ look and would switch to it full time if it counted Lost Souls and resurrected monsters. But so far I'm only using it for super large maps.

Edited August 12, 2021 by BCHQ

[Ch0wW]

Odamex: 4, since I'm coding stuff on it quite regularly.

Zdaemon: 2, although I plan to bring it back to 3 after some sort of project that's planned very soon.

Crispy-Doom: 3, but only for demos or MP demos.

 

However I'm also looking at DSDA-Doom and its source for some time already, it's looking very promising for full heretic/hexen support :)

[Nine Inch Heels]

DSDA-Doom: 4
ZDaemon: 4

ZDoom2.81: 1

Eternity: X
GZDoom: X

[rehelekretep]

prboom+: 9

 

i just use prboom+ 2.5.1.4 because i cant be bothered to set up DSDA doom and i enjoy using 2-key SR50

Edited August 12, 2021 by rehelekretep

[whou]

PrBoom+: 6

GZDoom: 2

Chocolate Doom: 1

 

I must say that I love the new stuff the UMAPINFO fork is releasing

[dei_eldren]

Crispy - 4

MBF - 3

PrBoom+ - 2 

[LadyMistDragon]

DSDA Doom:5

GZDoom: 2

Eternity: 1

Edited August 12, 2021 by LadyMistDragon

[lokbustam257]

LZDoom: 4

Woof: 2

Doom Retro: 3

 

(i use lzdoom instead of gzdoom since that port boot up slower than my machine)

[Ralphis]

Odamex: 8 points

GZDoom: 1 point

 

I have many ports installed but 99%+ of my time playing Doom, either single player OR multiplayer, is on Odamex. I will rarely use GZ if it's to play a wad specifically built for it. I use Eternity and Zandronum as well when a particular wad (either sp or mp) calls for it, but not nearly enough to put them on this list.

[Dopefish08]

PrBoom+/UMAPINFO fork: 7 - for playing vanilla/Boom/MBF compatible maps without fancy graphics and unnecessary bug fixes.

Zandronum: 2 - because my PC does not handle GZDoom
