DOOM - Arch Vile Jump differences (Source Port Sorcery!)

Bit of a tech-vid here, so look elsewhere for wild entertainment, map playthroughs and whatever ridiculous fad seems to be plaguing the modding scene.

Created in the aftermath of a conversation concerning a broken Arch-Vile jump (names of participants and maps shall not be used!), this video literally demonstrates why COMPET-N only accepts demos from the original executables, and why all the longtime players out there screaming for 100% compatibility need to be listened to.

I'm looking at you, ZDoom. You really managed to dick this one up.


*UPDATE: I NEVER realised the ZDoom community was home to so many easily-offended, butthurt babies! Tragic!*

Well I'm not uploading it, there's no need. Get DB2 and you can make your own.

Just some shitty arena I threw together in a few minutes.

Damn. I knew the Arch-Vile blasted you higher in ZDoom, but I didn't know you got pushed back towards the Arch-Vile. That's seriously fucked up...

Also, just an observation, but did you play the Doom Legacy segment on I'm Too Young To Die? The Arch-Vile's attacks only did about 16% damage each! LOL

[DeimosComaBlack]

The direction bug has since been fixed (quite a while ago now), but the height remains.

As for Legacy, yeah; due to the way the port loads PWADs (through the launcher as opposed to drag/drop), all the default settings remained intact... And for some reason ITYTD is the default difficulty.

lol old zdoom version

[Doommaster1122]

Lol. Nice Tags.

Anywho.

I laughed at zdoom's. I NEVER noticed that.

Great find.

[Turok1134]

@Paradox3121 Dude, this makes way too much sense. Stop being reasonable.

[HelllordxD]

@vipercannonmafia Ya cuz for example if you wanna make a speedrun and use an A-V Jump and it's not the normal height it's counted as a TAS Speedrun not a normal one....

[vipercannonmafia]

OH MY GOD! MY CHARACTER IS JUMPING AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE, ALL THE GAME IS RUINED! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

Skulltag seems to have the same problem, but I'm not taking it personally. Y'all should learn to stop complaining.
