doom

dose any one know a way to make a game like the origanal doom?

Doom is a 3D game so TGF2/MMF2 are not the best choice for that type of game.

You might want to look at google and search around for a 3D tool if you want to make a game like Doom.

While it's possible, I'd advise you not to try it using MMF. MMF is designed for 2D stuff, and doom is 3D (even if most of the graphics are sprites, you still moved "in" to the screen).

Yes, download the source code, modify as necessary and compile it yourself. =)

The 3D GameMaker is very good for what you want.

The Doom engine is actually 2.5D, with 5 degrees of freedom. The D3 effect is similated, but you couldn't for example create a house with two passable floors on top of each other.

But, yeah, probably not a good idea for MMF 2.0. Maybe MMF 3.0

[DavidN]

In all seriousness, I wonder if it would be possible to write a heightmap-reading extension now that the source for the engine is available - though I'd imagine it would be quite a job converting it as it's full of clever but now unnecessary workarounds.

from what i remember (shadow warrior, doom, quake, etc) some use the GPL so you would have to comply with that or spend a lot of money. Some use Watcom C so you will not be able to make an extension. Some use external assemblers (quake uses NASM i think) so may or may not be possible for MMF 2

Have you ever tried this tool? It is the most limited creation tool I've ever seen. While it's an interesting and promising approach to 3D game creation, it doesn't allow to make quality games.

[Surmulot]

I agree with you, Joka. It has very big limitations, but it is exactly THE tool for Looner. You really can make a little Doom in a few minutes without any difficulty. The problem is that you can only make this... ;O)
