No doom thread

Neither of them were in our Doomgods efnet IRC channel (#deathmatch). Also 1996 is when most of us moved on to the beta and actual full release of Quake.

Every time I try to load the STALKER mod it keeps saying "Cannot find map ssp1."

Type "listmaps" in the console and it'll show you the available maps, then "map [mapname]" to load the map you want. I think it was smp01.

Thank you for correcting me.

I base everything on BahdKo's site.

Of Sslasher she says "He was surprisingly young for being a Doom-God of this skill level" and further "he played a lot of modem doom with some of the west coast and central-US based doomgods."

That and the fact that he's part of her players' description list page made me feel like he belonged to your group.

Same for Galiu.

So, who were regulars on #deathmatch? And which players were widely considered doomgods then?

To be specific this is her description of Galiu: "To the best of my knowledge, Galiu gained his advanced skills under Sslasher and Burnout until he began his skill peak, which I estimate as beginning between Fall and Winter of 1996. During this time, it appears that Galiu began to at least match Sslasher's Map1 game, if not exceed it in certain instances (Galiu for example won 1st place against Sslasher in the Map1 tournament at DMcon2, which was in early September, 1996)."

Finally getting around to playing Doom 3 and it honestly isn’t too bad, it’s a lot faster than I was led to believe. I’d say my biggest gripe is that some of the weapons just don’t have the animations to feel terribly powerful.

I’m enjoying my time with it quite a bit at the moment. Are there any good mods I should grab for the BFG version after I finish or is it one of those games that didn’t get much of a modding scene?

why

Because it was the easiest one to find on free GOG. Why not?

It's made to be easier, the extra campaign is bad, and it has no modding support, which means it can't even use mods for the original Doom 3. I'm pretty sure it's also inferior, graphics-wise, but it's been a while sense I've read up on everything bad about it.

NoSkill, Fragmare, PvP, ground0, zokum, RiX, Chunkk

Oddly enough Badkho has some irc logs, but it looks like she didn't start logging until basically the end of the Doom glory days (she has a lot from October 96 to September 97). When I have a some free time I'll skim through to see who I missed.
