Vavoom v1.4 Released

Woohoo!

Oh yea, and I am retarded.

Yay, finally a competitor to csDoom. There may be hope for Doom again!

Second post (like anyone cares), too.

I think it's time for Ling to do what he did to the phrase that involves the word "pants" to "I am retarded" :)

Pants? Sorry, must have missed that. Someone fill me in.

in my pants
:P

Ling made it so that when you say "I am stupid", it says "I'm stupid", but obviously he changed it back :)

Uh, obviously he didn't. How the hell did Fraggle say it? :)

How's Vavoom run? Is going to give csDoom some serious competition?

in my pants in my pants

Dont count on this giving csDoom any competition. It's very user-unfriendly and is just infested to the core with killer bugs.

Its nice that it uses DirectX 7 and all, but I get no sound. Oh well, i didnt get a change to try out client/server. But, thats another story. This port needs to become alot more stable that what it is to rival csDoom with ZDoom support

Unfortunately, I agree with NightFang (no, agreeing with NightFang isn't unfortunate). I couldn't get sound working with Vavoom either, and the user interface does suck. I didn't spend much time with it, but I wasn't even able to figure out how to go into High Resolution modes.

Also, it has wavetable emulation which slows it down a lot. I suspect this might also be one of the reasons for the lack of sound coming from mine or NightFang's copies.

Using the windows version, I couldn't get the mouse X speed to change. It went horribly slow, I couldn't turn at a decent speed damnit. It's sort of useful to be able to turn at a decent speed if there's a Demon chomping on your back. I'd have to stick with the keyboard.

There aren't any command line parameters listed in the text file, but I was using a beta. I hope this is fixed now.

Regardless, I don't enjoy using Vavoom, but I wish it luck with improvements.

I also didn't try the client/server, but if I can't even get the single player working to my liking, why bother.

i seem to be forever stuck in demo mode. Anyone else have the same problem?

I thought I was stuck in demo mode, then I realised that it was just doing whatever I wanted it to about six seconds after I pressed the key.

Strange...

i tried both the win version and the dos version.

in windows i couldn't get sound (though the music sounded better than in most ports), and i couldnt start a game unless i warped to a level (it wouldnt go beyond the title screen). the mouse sensitivity range is too low on the menu, and i was forced to alter the cfg file. movement was a bit choppy, i would say.

in dos sound worked! ...but music didnt. the dos version runs abnormally fast for some reason. also, fooling around a bit i noticed that imps will kill each other when fighting side by side (they are damaged by, and react to, each other's scratching attacks).

i havent tried hexen or heretic with it, nor its c/s capability (and as mewse said...)

i think jump and mouselook (for doom, that is) should be set on/off from the server (i dont think this is so in vavoom) -- full compatibility with the original's gameplay is a must for a port at its 1st stage (then optional shit can be added).
