so that Doom III mod situation just got even weirder.

someone went through the files and it includes a .pk3 full of unused sprites that are all real images of impaled and tortured women.

'nother major update just went live. Main new feature is multiplayer for mods.

Full release notes:
Multiplayer Mods
  • Hosts need to activate the mod before entering the multiplayer menu
  • Players will need to subscribe to the same mod before joining a match
  • We recommend using room codes to join modified matches
  • Mods must be authored with Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21 or BOOM to be compatible

General
  • Resolved an issue in which some red doors did not display as red on the automap
  • Fixed multiple crashes reported by the community when loading game saves
  • Improved text line wrapping legibility for mod descriptions in Asian languages
  • Removed map prefix from intermission screen to be consistent with original game behavior

Multiplayer
  • Added spectator mode when players are dead and waiting to respawn in co-op mission play (it can also be initiated manually from the scoreboard button)
  • Fixed an issue in which disabling the crosshair would also turn off player name and co-op respawn text display
  • There are now more than 4 player colors available in game and on scoreboards
  • Resolved an issue in which players would lose weapons when respawning in co-op using modern rules
  • Fixed an issue in which the cross-platform friends menu could not be properly backed out of when no friends were available
  • Further optimized multiplayer networking code
  • Addressed crosshair centering issue in certain splitscreen configurations
  • Intermission animations now run at the correct speed in splitscreen mode

Modsl
  • The mod downloader can now process more than the first 100 subscribed mods


For Mod Creators on PC
  • Mod screenshots with spaces and other non-alphanumeric characters in their file names will now upload correctly in most cases

Mod Compatibility Updates
  • MBF21 instant kill sectors were incorrectly killing non-enemy actors
  • MBF21 instant kill sectors will fire immediately when a monster enters them, instead of waiting
  • BOOM and MBF21 effects that kill monsters will deal 1 million damage instead of 10000 damage in order to fix mods that used monsters with high HP values to create an invulnerable enemy
  • BOOM generic floor actions were not selecting the right neighbor when finding which sector ceiling or floor height they needed to move to
  • Players can hurt and shoot projectiles at their own voodoo dolls (aka player model / clone), to be consistent with the original game
  • ENTERPIC in UMAPINFO is correctly shown for the map you are entering instead of the map you just left
  • DeHackEd strings for BOOM keys can now be replaced through DEH patches
  • BOOM line action 242 (Deep water) will now transfer ceiling and floor lighting
  • Now avoids crashing for invalid sized demos when playing the demoloop
  • Maps using DMAPINFO will print the map name on automap, level select, and savegames
  • Changing DeHackEd ammo type will now actually change the ammo type
  • Fixed Berzerk Factor not calculating correctly in the A_WeaponMeleeAttack MBF21 codepointer
  • Fixed BTSX Episode 1 and Episode 2 demo playback not rendering fullscreen
  • Mods that override DOOM (1993) Episodes 1-3 will use the correct intermission screen
  • MBF21 A_Lower codepoint now checks for an invalid weapon before changing weapons if out of ammo

Another major patch just dropped

All Platforms
SIGIL II
  • SIGIL II is now officially included as part of the DOOM + DOOM II package. It is available from the game select menu at startup. Note: Save games from the Mods version are not compatible with the officially included version. However, the existing Mods version will remain online to users subscribed to it.
Improvements
  • When viewing a match running a mod, you will now be directed to the Mods page if you do not have the mod
Fixes
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when using the automap
  • Fixed sound issues with ceiling sounds on DOOM II MAP04 and TNT MAP04
  • Fixed a crash when playing BTSX Episode 2 in multiplayer
  • Fixed a crash that may occur when downloading or deleting many mods during the same launch
  • Custom menu logos appear at the top of the menu again when playing a mod
Mod Compatibility Fixes
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when a WAD contains a zero length sound
  • Fixed fast doors making double sounds for mods running in Boom or MBF modes
Additional Mod Fixes
PlayStation 4
  • Increased amount of space for downloaded mods to 5GB
PlayStation 5
  • Increased amount of space for downloaded mods to 20GB

Apparently Microsoft and Sony have some gay rule where they can't add achievements to add-on content unless the content is of a certain size, and SIGIL 2 is way too small to meet that threshold. So there won't be an achievement for completing SIGIL 2 as there is for every other episode.

From inexpensive copies of the first episode spreading like a virus onto every IBM PC compatible on earth to a $700 fomo box full of cheap trinkets intended to stay inside the box unused anyway.

Don’t call it goob shit, it’s the future you chose…

Nice that they included Sigil. Been wanting to play that. Now I need to figure out how to get this on my Win 98SE machine.
Click to expand...
It is possible to run Sigil as a mod for original dos doom, and therefore easily run it in Windows 98 or even DOS on a 486 or pentium, but you need to get a slightly modified version of the wad file that has a bit of the level geometry toned down, as the mod otherwise exceeds certain limits of the original dos game/engine. Should be readily available at places that host doom mods.
