Which is also why I appreciate the QoL changes. Must be clear, the OG still plays very well and is fun. Classic for a reason. Buuuut I could not for the life of me find the switch to the platform in the SECOND LEVEL of Doom 2. Meanwhile in Vicky mod I can just jump. Just how it is.

Right. I've seen a playthrough of that mod. Trippy and scary at once.

Yeah, this and GZDoom seem to be the go-to for most people. The only hitch is that you have to supply your own copy of the WADs for Doom 1 and 2, but I don't recall them being particularly difficult to get a hold of. Running them with mods is pretty easy too.

Damn, really?

Well that's how it was like back in the day, engines didnt have much versatility to allow for jumping unless it was a platformer, and while doom likes to make you THINK it uses a lot of verticality, It really is severely limited in that regard. fun fact, no two spaces can exist above or below eachother in this engine, which is why Myhouse.wad immediately surprised seasoned doom modders by seemingly defying that using teleporter tricks

Idk the ability to jump removed a lot of early hassle for me in the doom 2 mod. I compared gameplay between the OG and the mod. A button that I have trouble finding in the original game is skipped entirely by the ability to jump in the mod. It isn't too terribly big a change, but it's very welcome so far.

Essentially a program that lets you run Doom WADs on systems they weren't designed for (like Windows 7 through 11). You can also set up online multiplayer but it's kind of a pain.
