Deus Vult 2

Hey Doom folks!

I wasn't sure if this post should go under "General" or "Tech Support", so I apologize if I chose the wrong section.

My question:

Is it possible to install and run Deus Vult 2 in the Doomsday Engine? I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    is this a game? doomsday engine is only capable of running id tech 1 games at the moment now if it's a wad what port was it made for?

    Deus Vult 2 is apparently made for GZDoom. The download I found even comes with the GZDoom engine.

    So if you wanna play it, you better head over there.

    Doomsday isn't capable of ZDoom features, hence the WAD may run, but probably not correctly.

    Wow, thanks for the feedback, guys!

    I was just reading through the wiki and noticed the ZDoom-base that I hadn't noticed before.

    Ah well. Thanks for the help!

    Honestly, I'm just glad I get to play Doom/Hexen on my Mac. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

    As far as I know Deus Vult 2 works in Doomsday, however some of the maps are somewhat of a strain on the renderer.

    Good to know. I'll keep messing with it.

    Thanks!

    According to the readme, Deus Vult 2 uses Boom features in the maps. Doomsday doesn't yet support 99.9% of Boom's common features.

    The wad also includes an MP3 soundtrack, which is set up using a ZDoom MAPINFO lump, which Doomsday also doesn't support, though it would be trivial to write a Doomsday Ded to make the MP3's work in Doomsday. Other ports will get a midi soundtrack by default.

    I wasn't aware that Deus Vult 2 uses Boom specific line specials. I'm aware it uses a ZDoom specific MAPINFO lump for the music, however Doomsday users will just get the MIDI soundtrack instead.

    I'm currently working on MAPINFO related stuff so I'll take a look at what actually needs doing there...

    I tried the WAD.

    It for example has a double pistol instead of a single one.

    And already the first door in Doomsday isn't working, so there'd be a lot to be done to make it compatible.
