RedM Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Anyone else downloaded this? What a blast. It's the original shareware version of Doom made over with the Doom3 engine. The weird thing is that I know the original Doom inside out, back to front and upside down and can draw the levels from memory but with different textures and lighting it's like a whole new game. My visual cues are all gone and TBH I'm struggling to remember where all the secrets are. Anyways, Classic Doom. Get it got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Still one of the best DM games of all time despite its simplicity. Still play it i get a load of the lads over the network. Not got Doom3 on PC though only Xbox, but i do have the ultimate Doom collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Do you have to buy it or can u download it for free? EDIT: I guess from here: :: http://cdoom.d3files.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=1&Itemid=6&PHPSESSID=17967c39c85d5a1274e5636edce6418a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 That link is the one. I think they had planned to do the whole game but time and funds ran out. I think there is a version coming which uses updated versions of the original graphics. That's be good. I find D3 far too dark at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 theres also a version of Doom for the PDA, found the link the other day but havent downloaded it yet. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I find D3 far too dark at times. Same here, got a bit annoying having to wander around with the torch all the time. Will have to try this out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Same here, got a bit annoying having to wander around with the torch all the time. Will have to try this out though Without that part of it though it wouldnt have been the same game. It created sooooo much atmosphere and tension, then an enemy would jump out at you, you'd sh*t yourself, have to turn off the torch to shoot the bast*rd, sh*t yourself some more and run away....well thats what i did anyway.

Yeah, like they don't have gaffa tape on Mars in the future! I play it with a flashlight mod that has a torch fixed to the weapon models. The whole torch off, shoot, torch on again fiasco was far too contrived. The game is plenty dark enough to allow for a torch to be on all the time.

Pixelfill Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I can't get the Classic Doom to run, complains about something missing (call to a pure virtual function - how would that compile?) anyway I tried to update to version 1.3 as well - in case that would fix the issue, but I can't manage that either Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 When Doom first came out (four floppies!), I was hooked big time, playing many times a day, well into the small hours at night. I was doing an MSc at the time and there were exams right after Xmas, I don't think it particularly helped me to concentrate. The snoring of the beasts and the spooky music were very addictive, as I was trying to go through the levels and stay alive. After Doom, my interest in any computer game went pretty much downhill...

If you aren't, it appears in your mod list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Yeah cheers Martin, tried launching using the batch file, and by selecting the Mod from the main menu. but it's causing an error (looks like a fault in the mod) I'm assuming the problem is due to not being able to update to version 1.3. Getting annoyed with it now. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I: :: Installed Doom 3 v1.0 :: Downloaded the 1.3 patch from the official Doom 3 website and installed it :: Installed Classic Doom into my Doom 3 installation folder :: Ran CDoom.bat ...and it worked ok for me.

RedM Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 You don't need to run the batch file. CDoom runs from the MODS section on the Doom3 title screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 managed to reinstall doom3 and run the patch, then reinstalled classic doom, all's well on Deimos (not!) cheers Martin, that looks a pretty faithful recreation, though I'm 100% certain that at least 1 secret on level 2 is missing or moved.

RedM Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Which one. I found them all with no trouble. Are you on about the door to the chaingun? One weird thing is that on some levels I found more than the amount of secrets ie 9 of 7, that sort of thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 yeah thats the one, you went through the door round and up to where the red key is, and then there was a door to the chaingun further round. the windows used to be on the right opposite the key, they aren't there anymore either.

RedM Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yeah, but you know how to get outside to the chaingun right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I used to yeah, not sure now, can't even find the spot where the door used to be It used to be on the stairwell down from the red key, before you turned back towards the door (in front of you at the the bottom of the stairs before you turned left towards the door) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
