Well, I know GZdoom does not have the best netcode as of yet, but if you are a competitive 1on1er, I have a wad project currently under development that will work for you. The wad Project aims to bring very rich and detailed atmosphere to classic competitve DM. The maps, though ripe with Zdoom special effects, still HEAVILY hold true to classic DM designs. Right now, the wad project is compatible with Zdoom, Zdaemon, Skulltag, and I just recently implemented GZdoom features to get it to "shine." Below I have attached a number of screen shots packages that show the current status of the wad project, and also shows how nice the wad can look even in Software renderer mode. Right now, the porject is nearing a beta release for the public. This will be the 6th beta installment for feedback purposes. The original Beta 5 release did VERY well with the Zdaemon community. The mapsets focuses on small to mass FFA idealy, but they also have many 1on1 elements that cause the mapset to function as an SSG based DM tourney kind of map. The FFA maps are very open and semetrical, however, beta 6 will bring a slew of new 1on1 maps that are less semetrical and more tricky, kind of like what you may have remembered from maps like dwango5 map1, map01, etc... Though beta 6 is meant to really entertain and give a "finished" release feel, it is being released for the sole purpose of more feedback. The wad project will aim to have all 32 levels replaced when it is completely finished, beta 6 will have 12 levels to play with. Well, tell me what you think of the shots ;)

Oh, and the shots show that I get 35fps, this not because the wad slows down FPS, it is because I cap the FPS as 35 is my comfort zone due to Zdaemon play. =P


Lots of OpenGL shots of every level but map01.
