Very cool to see a project I belong to still alive and well. Thanks for the head up @Andy Johnsen I will be sure to check it out when I get a bit of free time! I have been itching to play classic doom after well over 10+ years.

Ty was there since the beginning of Doom's modding days, starting with CDRom.com's Idgames folder. Without his meticulous archiving, many great mods would have been lost. Thank you Ty. RIP.

FOV, HUD and always run do not bother me. However the mousewheel for weapons should not be allowed as it's an advantage over people using heretic.exe . Stick with the numbers for recording. Same goes with the crosshair, it should not be there.

I will have to watch this, lol

Its interesting someone is finally working on making a Heretic port that is compatible with the original heretic demos. That would be really handy for my Youtube channel and replace the ugly 320x200 videos! I am still not sure about allowing any ports for demo recording though. I would have to wrap my mind around this.

That makes me think I have been away from Doom & Heretic for way too long. I should really get around to update Heretic-N haha. I Still have 3x Windows 98 PC around too, I will put them back together again and test vvheretic in coop.

There are individual playthroughs of each map. I would not expect a full video playthrough like Doom2 or Plutonia 1, for the very good reason the levels are just too hard and too long to complete in one sitting.

fx02, its nice to know you're taking over the compet-n ! However, how will you handle the many cheating possibilities people have nowadays to make a perfectly compatible demo in no time ? (prboom-plus, DOS emulator with save states and slo mo ...) Anders and Dashiva a few years ago were looking at restarting C-N with an entirely new port that would somehow prevent cheating. But it never came to completion. Maybe we could contact them? Also, one way to legitimize a demo would be to ask the submitter to also send ALL his failed tries as a proof he/she didnt use prboom-plus and save states. You know how many tries old school players like Sedlo, Vile, Anders, Ocelot and co needed to make one awesome demo :) => TONS.

that makes chocoheretic rather uninteresting for demo recording, that mouse issue bugged me to no end.

tentatively I would approve chocoheretic for nomonsters and speed demos. Maxkills would still need vvheretic as it shows the proper stats. As for inventory shortcut keys, I would have to say no as it differs too much from the original game where you had to manually select them. Only the tome of power had its own key (backspace). note : does chocoheretic also carries the demorecording bug that caused the mouse to turn one way more than the other ? (got fixed in vvheretic)

as long as choco heretic doesnt run demos made with vvheretic/heretic.exe, it will not be allowed :) As for the inventory hack, what is that ?

switching to desktop can cause that? Because I did with most of the longer recordings. SDL cant be wrong, that's the one coming with the build (started a new directory from scratch)

I re-recorded it with the same settings and I didnt do it this time. It doesn't seem reproduce-able. Someone just reported that the damage doesnt show on my 30nm too , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfijpjvS9Q8 . I guess I should use glboom with MSI afterburner, at least I know this doesnt use the screenshot code. edit : this stops showing damage/pick up after a while too : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljvd0fpB-bY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip93S3mOzms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rg4d6HrsIk I am sure it happened to others as well

This one looks solarized because the palette is stuck on item pick up ... that's why I posted it there. It only goes away after like 4 mins. It happens with solo demos as well. Now I realize most of the recordings I made have such issues... check some out. I wonder if its because I used prboom instead of glboom. I toyed with wide screen before but found the long videos take an awful lot of space and need a lot of time to upload. I may go widescreen for short movies and 4:3 for very long demos.
