Some new Doom 1 & 2 stuff coming out?

I got a lump in my throat when I saw this

I wonder if they finally fixed the problem where you can't play splitscreen with one Keyboard and one controller. I complained about that years ago in the Steam forums.

I may play the new episode just to see what it's like. Although I'm still kind of jaded on the new menu and eula for fucking doom.

sound like my good old days with Doom on a PDA

Unsurprising. Took part in a Quake jam and lead almost gave up making it KEX compatible. Those "official ports" are held together by duct tape and will always be the inferior choice.

But you can get achievements and a bethesda.net account!

Someone uploaded Auger Zenith and you can see right away that there's no DEHACKED support, the glass refuses to stay shattered and just resets itself.

DeHackEd was just for the sound, wasn't it? If the glass is resetting then instant lowering floors don't seem to work...that'd be a bigger issue...

If one can deal with a big fat spoonful of Xaser-isms ("oh look, a map ending in a circular portal!"), the two new episodes look very solid from what I've seen of vile's playthrough. Personally I quit five minutes in, but that's a problem I'm having with Doom in general lately, so likely not representative of the product's actual quality.

I don't understand, this new steam release doesn't include PWADs such as A;Z, right? Anyone going out of their way to download PWADs would know of a dozen other source ports, so why are we worried about this?

Edit: Ok I actually looked into it rather than just making assumptions, I see what's going on. Still, this is a problem across the board, not just with our stuff. Nothing we need to or really can do about it.

if i remember correctly, i think what the affected maps have in common is the glass textures are doing what TNT's Eternal Doom does, in which they use a switch texture to animate the change from glass to no glass. Theres ways to do the effect by using lower unpegging to offset the texture into the floor, which feels janky to make but makes for a better noiseless presentation.

The glass is changing back to its off/on texture like a repeatable switch when it should be a single use switch that stays on after use. Probably an easy fix. I cant think of any other (notable) wads besides Eternal Doom, that use switch textures for this effect. team TNT has always been kinda known for its signature level of experimental doom jank.

As shown in biz's video (thanks for confirming btw), the bug is not particularly game breaking in any capacity outside of this particular usage of custom switch textures, it just kinda looks unprofessional imo.

I think nightdive might consider this bug negligible unless team TNT fans play Eternal Doom and complain about it enough. Nightdive employs Edward850 whom ive seen show a loud and marked bias towards doomworld and its favorites and against doomer boards + dbp so I would not bet on him advocating for Auger Zenith compatibility at all even if people ask for it.
