    • Remember Doom? Skulltag makes it even better.

      Iv'e watched pewdie's videos of doom 2 and obviously i enjoyed it very much, keep on with the good work!

      But i want to suggest that he uses this engine called Skulltag, which is basiclly doom with enhanced features.

      Skulltag is a port for the original Doom and Doom II by id Software.

      Skulltag brings classic Doom into the 21st century, maintaining the essence of what has made Doom great for so many years and, at the same time, adding new features to modernize it, creating a fresh, fun new experience.

      Here's why you should kill your time with Skulltag, versus vanilla Doom:

      Excellent online play
      Client/server architecture: play and switch between games with ease
      Supports up to 32 players
      Wide array of gameplay modes
      Competitive: Team DM, Duel, CTF, Possession, LMS, Terminator, Skulltag
      Cooperative: Survival, Invasion (or both!)
      Modifiers, like Instagib and Buckshot, can be used to spice up any game.

      Modern and beautiful
      Choose between GZDoom's OpenGL renderer, or Doom Software
      Useful features like a console, Quake-style key bindings, freelooking, and jumping
      Full, enthusiastic support for ZDoom and GZDoom mods
      Support for Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, as well as Linux/FreeBSD

      Innovative new content.
      Announcers and skins for online play.
      Runes, new weapons, and new monsters for modders.
      50 new, well designed stock maps for any game mode.
      Bots, and support for custom bots.

      So much more!


      The program's main website is skulltag.com and the download is in skulltag.com/download
      And while you are in the download page scroll down for extra stuff like server seekers for online play (I perfure IDE, it's easier to use.)

      Meh , I might set one up on a dedibox... If I ever know how to setup one (the server , not the dedibox ofc) x3

      Allso you do not need any website to host it, you may do so for a 24/7 server but other than that it's just a waste of money

      Nope, try playing All out war, Shotgun frenzy, Brutal doom, Zdoom wars, Real guns advanced/hardcore Etcetra...

    • A note to those trying to make a server, the server lists that you see are generated by the main server at skulltag, the verify that a server is first dedicated and only then do they enable it, that is why it keeps crashing. To make a server you need to run the game without a engine like skull or any other, probably just plain zdoom, tell everyone when the server is up, post the Ip for the server along with the port, ill try to make it work on my pc first, then post some instructions if anyone wants it. :P

      Click the pic if you don't understand.

    • If you mean you run it and do not have to pay for hosting a server, be my guest.
      I whould LOVE a server meant for bros, and i'll be absoloutly delighted to play it with pewdiepie if he thinks this idea is good :P

      I get servers for free if I really want to. I think my avatar and signature says enough. The only problem is that we do not currently provide skulltag servers since it was never requested by a client, so it will most likely take some time before we support it or not. Anyway , I can almost guarantee that I can bring up a server in about 2 weeks since some dedi boxes will get shipped to the USA and I will get root access to it.



    • I whould love to play doom II/Doom 1 with bros, and i don't really care about which program runs it, so i'll be glad to join when it's up, or is it up all the time?

    • Oh and BTW guys, this isen't a suggestion post for IDE, go ahead and use whatever you want. i'm just suggesting Skulltag for pewdiepie, because it's better and easier to use then original Doom 1/II
