    csDoom Problems

    By Linguica, in News,

    csDoom v0.61 has been released which fixes a bug relating to teamplay. However, there's some more important stuff to mention here. Apparently Fly has been putting certain "hidden features" into csDoom, two of which have been found. Here's the source code for one:
    This one basically bans two people from ever playing csDoom on any server which has this code compiled in. I'm not exactly sure why these 2 IPs were targeted. However, there's an even more serious one:This basically means that Fly, the creator of csDoom, can take over any server you may choose to set up, and perform "administrative" functions (kick people, change maps, etc). Now while banning 2 IPs may be marginally all right, leaving a back door so the creator can remotely control any server is not. Doomworld urges everyone to think strongly before using csDoom 0.61 -- there's no way to know what other "hidden features" they may contain. csDoom 0.5, while being less functional, have had their source released and thus can be swept for such unwanted additions.

    Doom3D v1.14 Released

    By Mordeth, in News,

    Paul Brook has released v1.14 of his port Doom3D. This mainly fixes bugs over v1.12 such as fixing MD2 model support and "a few other issues". The files are not yet available though, since at the moment of posting they are still sitting in Walnut Creek's /incoming directory. Rest assured, the new binaries will be mirrored the moment it hits /newstuff.

    The Brown Game... the Green Game... the Mailbag rules with no less than three colors.
    First 3DActionPlanet sported a Doom quiz, now they're back with a Heretic/Hexen trivia quiz. See if you can spot the wrong answers :) Thanks Raven-Games.
    Charger sent word about his Doom site, weirdly enough called Order of the Stray Cats. It features several levels by his hand plus some reviews.

    Id's New Offices

    By Mordeth, in News,

    A while ago id Software have traded its landmark 'black cube' office in Mesquite (Texas) for another residence. Elves On Tricylcles has some photo footage of their new home. Thanks Telefragged for the info! Now you'll be able to recognise cameo appearances of the building in the new Doom game, like it did in Doom2 :)

    Doom Millennium CD

    By Mordeth, in News,

    Jamie Robertson updated his music site with news that the Doom Millennium CD will be released this month. What's more, he's been spending time remixing the tracks and according to him we're in for a treat. This Sunday we will be able to download a new sample track that is "very Doom64 style" from the Last Sunset site.
    Now, if only Doom Millennium itself would resurface...

    New Projects

    By Mordeth, in News,

    Mechasam sent in word that he is working on two new projects: one for Ultimate Doom called 'mini project' (and lets hope that is a working title) and the other for Doom2 called 'Torture'. Info on both can be found on his site. He is currently only working on the mini project which is supposed to be hard to beat, replacing one episode. A couple of screenshots showing off some of the levels have been posted as well.
