I am sure it will support local multiplayer, but just want to note the first attempt at an open content replacement called OpenQuartz already has complete local multiplayer. The admittedly ancient compiled builds even include FrikBots.

And yeah, especially seeing how Microsoft bought Activision and thus Raven, this should be Hexen, the original medieval Doom...

If this was MIT licensed I could easily see Beamdog trying to use it.

They still could obviously, but they'd need to respect copyleft.

Quoting: MichelN86Bought the bundle, already owned prey and crysis remastered on epic (and doom on gog). But i wanted the other games too (in steam with proton). Now i have them all in steam which i really wanted. Thanks for the heads up

The article says its for Doom (2016), which isn't on GOG yet.

Quoting: ElectricPrismThese titles are so old they should license the code as open source and dump it on the net. It would do well for their legacy and reputation to immortalize their roots.

Last I heard, Sweeney said he would, but there are too many libraries used.

This kinda makes me wonder more about that rumour that the reason they took down the servers and games was because of potential security liabilities owing to the DNF 2001 leak including Unreal Engine code.

Any chance of a GOG release?

Quoting: DrMcCoyThe Creative Commons licenses (except, arguably, CC0) are a terrible, terrible choice for software.

CC0 is not even recommended due to it neglecting to protect against software patents.

Mind you, I dislike all other CC licenses as I find forced attribution aggravating (despiting agreeing its good to maintain a paper trail).

Rather than calling anyone the "bad guy", would you be able to describe what the issue with SwanStation was?

I am entirely unfamiliar with either situation, but at least with SwanStation you can fork it AGAIN if you dislike their managment.

Just to clear up a quick thing: for anyone wanting to play Legacy of Rust on another source port, you just need ID1.WAD -- It needs an MBF21-compatible source port (e.g. dsda-doom, Woof!, GZDoom, etc.), and there are a few cosmetic things that use some brand-new features like the intermission map (basically all the new lumps Gez pointed out -- docs/specs for those coming soon, once we get some damn free time lol). Gameplay-wise you're getting the real deal either way.

So it should be playable natively using source ports, which is good, as I get DLL errors trying the actual binary through Wine.

EDIT: got it running via DSDA-Doom from the Arch User Repository.
