WorldMachine Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) DOOM: CLASSIC REDUX is a mod that aims to reimagine the vanilla DOOM experience and provide a lot of consistency fixes and changes to specific in-game behaviors, such as an updated Spider Mastermind and some rebalanced weapons! This mod can run in DOS too, and aims to be as mod compatible as possible! Go crazy with a mod list, I'm sure a good chunk of them will work with this one! (Not sure if it can run on age appropriate software, but if it can run in DOS-BOX, should run in real DOS, right?) Unlike my other mod "Vanilla +", I didn't go crazy with all of the features and sprites and things like that, too the untrained eye, it will most definitely look like normal DOOM, so don't worry! If you want an idea of what to play this mod with, here's a few suggestions!: -DOOM 64 for DOOM 2 (added support) -Nostalgia 1&2 -Zone 300 -Final DOOM -Stickney Installation -No Rest for The Living Just to name a few! Additional info can be found in the RTF README in the mod and more! If you want to see what it looks like, here you go!: Spoiler Install DOOM-CLASSIC REDUX here!

Astar Posted August 25, 2023 Awesome! Really like the gloves and overall aesthetics Those imps (aka mini-barons :D) actually so cool considering how vanilla imps were slightly goofy :) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Metal_Slayer Posted August 26, 2023 So, the difference between this one and Vanilla+ is that it doesn't alter the behavior of the enemies and weapons in any way? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
WorldMachine Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) This is meant to FEEL like vanilla DOOM, Vanilla + kinda became it's own thing... so I decided to restrict myself into making an ACTUAL "Vanilla+" and not go too crazy with it before it did become it's own thing. Basically think of this like a theoretical "Nightdive remaster" of the original Iwads I guess. Just without any of those extra goodies like an "id Vault" or online multiplayer (I'm looking at you, Unity-port!). Edited August 26, 2023 by WorldMachine 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
WorldMachine Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Been really thinking of rebalancing the gameplay, but I'm afraid that that would steer away from the original vision of keeping this as faithful to the vanilla experience as possible. What do you guys think, and what would you do to balance the game a bit more? Edited August 28, 2023 by WorldMachine 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
WorldMachine Posted August 28, 2023 So I did away and decided to make the BFG cost 80 cells akin to 40. I know way to many people rely upon that thing so I decided to give it a little nerf without removing what makes the BFG great. Do you guys think 80 is to much or too little? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Astar Posted August 28, 2023 80 is waaay too much. Maybe 60 will be better 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
WorldMachine Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) You still have 600 cells max however Think 60 is still a good though? Edited August 28, 2023 by WorldMachine 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Astar Posted August 28, 2023 You know what... 80 is actually good :D 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

OpenRift Posted August 28, 2023 Was doing some testing, and for whatever reason I get an error when trying to run this in Chocolate Doom that says "R_InitSprites: No patches found for BOS2 frame A". I made sure to load the WAD with the -merge parameter like your batch files suggest, and I get that error regardless. I did test it in Crispy and it worked fine, though. Very cool stuff. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Firedust Posted August 29, 2023 So this mod makes no changes to maps right? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted August 29, 2023 It would be a good idea to add a gameplay video to the original post. Bit of a confusing name since it's the name of the Steam package containing the original games. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post

WorldMachine Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I mean I already have cemented the name... How about "DOOM: Classic Complete +"? Or "DOOM: Classic Remastered"? Idk Btw, were you able to play the new update in Chocolate @OpenRift? Edited August 29, 2023 by WorldMachine 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Idk What you're suggesting download is not a classic Doom and not Doom remastered. This mean that you don't understand the meaning of these words. In addition, these are official names. https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_Classic_Complete 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
