DOOM. id Software's original masterpiece. Quite possibly the most played game around here (and that's saying a lot... we were addicted to EverQuest for years!)
We still love DOOM. We still play DOOM. So when we saw an open source project called Legacy DOOM spring to life, we grabbed it and started playing. And once we started playing, we saw an opportunity to dive into the code and "fix" some things that we always thought should work another way...
Features
- Armor -- It actually means something now. No longer will you die with 150% armor remaining. The amount of damage you take has been modified so that armor takes the brunt of the punishment.
- What A Mess! -- Shooting a rocket or a barrel will make the excess corpses in the area splatter. Funny to see and it really cleans up the levels a lot. And closing doors will crush corpses too.
- Enhanced Cheat Codes -- Some of the cheat codes give you a few extra things... like IDKFA gives a backpack now
Luggage DOOM - TODO List
The following is a list of known issues and other items we hope to add to the game at some future point:
- Point blank attacks should do max damage
- Adjust accuracy
- Spawn generator - abort if something is in that spot (it currently clears spot then spawns)
- OpenGL - blood splatter doesn't look right
- Arch-vile rez sometimes causes mobs to be stuck inside one another
- If a corpse is slop, don't rez it (code in place, still contemplating whether or not to do this)
- Explosion splat doesn't move with door
- Finding many door graphic offsets wrong. Are all textures loading correctly?
- Vertical lookup anomaly in outside zones
- Is sky texture offset correct?
- Behind cover, increase difficulty to hit
- Skull spitter sometimes spits them straight down, maybe a height problem?
- Weird sound bug when firing, sound disappears or is truncated. (pertains to direct sound and occurs with shotgun and chaingun)
Legal stuff:
Luggage DOOM is a mod to the original game(s). You have to buy a copy of DOOM to use this, or download the limited Shareware WAD file
from the Download tab. Buying DOOM will be interesting, but should be possible... What you want is called DOOM Collector's Edition
and there are used copies on Amazon.com if you click here
