15 | ||
16 | Q - Okay, now what do I do with these IWADs? How do I play DOOM? | |
17 | A - Download a sourceport! | |
18 | http://svn.drdteam.org/gzdoom/ -- OpenGL variant of ZDoom | |
19 | http://svn.drdteam.org/zdoom/ -- THE sourceport to get for singleplayer. TONS of features. | |
20 | http://www.zandronum.com/ -- The only surviving multiplayer port. Get this to play with /vr/. | |
21 | http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/prboom-plus/ -- for a little more than vanilla, has great demo compatability | |
22 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/chocolate-doom/ -- Faithful to original EXEs, but with bugfixes. | |

29 | PRO STRATS | |
30 | --------- | |
31 | Q - I'm new to doom and not very good at it, how do I get better? | |
32 | A - HERE ARE SOME PRO STRATS | |
33 | ||
34 | - You'll want to go for some SSG swingshots, since everyone's hurling themselves around at about 50mph with | |
35 | delicious supershotguns. Doing this will probably increase your performance quite a lot. | |
36 | ||
37 | - Knowing the maps you play on is ALWAYS a good idea, in single or multiplayer. Knowing how to quickly eliminate | |
38 | opponents and monsters quickly in a map while still not taking too much damage is always a good thing and can | |
39 | really give you an edge over your opponents. | |
40 | ||
41 | - Learning to SR50 (Straferun50) is also something you should do, as it can give you a speed boost and possibly | |
42 | a good advantage over your enemies. Here's some info on it. http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=469 | |
43 | ||
44 | - Practice with all the weapons, otherwise you'll probably get fucked over easily. Burst-firing with the | |
45 | chaingun at range is a killing machine (no aim penalty after one bullet, spread starts if you hold down | |
46 | your fire button) and loading up hallways with rockets will net kills on players blindly charging around. | |
47 | If you haven't already, try reading the BFG FAQ as well because the real operation of that gun is not | |
48 | entirely straightforward: http://www.gamers.org/docs/FAQ/bfgfaq/ | |
49 | ||
50 | - Try to find players who have been at it for a while to be buddies with and learn from. You'll lose to them | |
51 | embarrassingly but they'll be able to tell you exactly how to get better in place of these general ideas | |
52 | ||
53 | There's also the DM Bible (which this part is based off of) | |
54 | http://www.doom2.net/~dev/DooMStrategy.pdf | |
55 | ||
56 | And the BFGFAQ | |
57 | http://www.gamers.org/docs/FAQ/bfgfaq/ | |
58 | ||
59 | AND OF COURSE | |

61 | PRO DOOM MONSTER STRATS | |

64 | Happy fragging! | |
65 | ||
66 | Wad Questions | |
67 | ------------ | |
68 | ||
69 | Q - (G)ZDoom only lists the normal IWADs, why won't it show the PWADs? | |
70 | A - (G)ZDoom recognizes IWADs and will supply a list for you to pick from when you run the executable. It does not generate a list for PWADs, you have to drag and drop the file on the .exe, or use command line, or use a front-end like ZDL. See next question for more info. | |
71 | ||
72 | Q - How do I load WADs/PK3s/PK7s? | |
73 | A - Drag them onto the EXE (ctrl-click to add, load order is first to last) or use ZDL (load order is up to down). | |
74 | ZDL download: http://data.vectec.net/zdl/qzdl/ZDL-3.2.2.2-stable.zip | |
75 | ||
76 | Q - Where do I get started with making maps? | |
77 | A - DoomBuilder 2 and/or GZDoomBuilder are an excellent place to start. GZDoomBuilder has more advanced ZDoom/Zandro features, but DoomBuilder 2 supports a fuckton more non-ZDoom formats. Slade 3 also has a map editor, but it's...inefficient at best. If you're a Linux user, well, you're shit out of luck--only the crash-prone editor of Slade 3 has been reported to work with them. | |
78 | ||
79 | Q - Where do I get started with making new weapons/characters/monsters? | |
80 | A - Slade 3 is practically THE Doom editor for creating, maintaining, and editing .wads and .pk3s. It boasts a whole shitton of features, such as minor sprite coloring, palette tweaking, checking for duplicate entries, etc, etc. XWE is another alternative to Slade 3 except worse in...practically every way. The big (and only) advantage XWE has over Slade 3 is that XWE can handle Build engine files (and some other weirdass formats) better. | |

174 | -------- | |
175 | ||
176 | Q - Why is this not on /vg/? This is a general, right??? | |
177 | A - We're not on /vg/ because of the community. /vg/ has a far more insulated group of posters, and having the threads there would result in a total stagnation of new traffic. We even asked on /q/ whether it was allowed, they said they'd be fine with it. | |

179 | ||
180 | Q - Where can I find the newest DOOM thread? | |
181 | A - It should be on the front page, or you can look here: | |
182 | http://boards.4chan.org/vr/catalog#s=Doom%20Thread | |
183 | ||
184 | Q - Why do most people tend to hate brutal doom?/Why do some people tend to love brutal doom? | |
185 | A - Everyone has their reason (reloading, ironsights, general feel/speed, tons of gore, the author, etc)... | |
186 | ...but ultimately, nobody should care. Cause, well, >opinions | |
187 | ||
188 | Q - So, there's the DOOM threads, but where's the rest of the community at? | |
