Splitscreen branch (3.42.03a(h2))

Oi oi, just a drive-by thank you. I found this thread and played some Doom with my little brother yesterday, whose crunchy pixels and simple pleasures he chose over AC Valhalla!  Gamepad support worked perfectly, too. Much appreciated, this is by far the best option for PC splitscreen Doom.

No offense, but at this point Doom Classic Unity is probably the best PC splitscreen option. Not only has this port not been in development for years, it's missing features like being able to change levels and start matches through just the joystick, the ability to end a game and start a new one without having to exit beforehand, working automap for all players, and faster weapon switching for controllers.

This might still be one of the best split screen options for boom/mbf levels though. Experimenting with fake split screen using methods like other source ports combined with NucleusCoop or Universal Splitscreen might yield better results in some cases though...

All that said, I'd love to see this being worked on again. Perhaps restarted from the ground up to match the latest version of Eternity if necessary. A LOT has changed with that source port since the last split screen build...

If it isn't for the fact that you need 2 controllers to properly play in splitscreen, it would be the best option.
