If you want to try on a real machine:

1. MBF DOS 2.04 works 😀

2. Doom2plus (limit-patched 1.9 Doom2.exe) + Dehacked works

Shit, wtf, OMG..

So if I wanted to run this on real hardware in MS-DOS, what is the best port to use it with, MBF? What kind of hardware would it require? Would a P133 suffice?

thanks for the heads up!

Looks great; thanks for the heads up about this project!

MS-DOS VERSION RELEASED! PREPARE YOUR 386!!!!

My 386 would choke on this but my 233MMX sure is ready! Neat project.

This seems cool. I've always been seeing DOOM as a video game from just the 90s, but I guess I was wrong when I found out that apparently DOOM still has newer versions released. Actually, I did know that, but not all the way...

What is the exact specifics to get this going in MBF? I've only had luck getting it to work with the included batch files it comes with on the DOS release. Also curious to try this in GZDoom but I don't think it is as easy as just dragging the .wad ontop of GZDoom as Sigil was?

Got this running easy enough in GZDoom. Just had to copy over my actual doom2.wad to my GZdoom directory along with the d4.deh. Then if I drag and drop the d4.wad ontop of GZdoom executable it fires right up. These changes putting in the doom2016 baddies amps up the gameplay quite a bit. But some things I guess couldn't be changed. As an example, most of the enemies still seem to be bound by the areas they spawn from. Pinkies do charge and have the ability to jump, but do not seem able to jump to higher levels and will charge at you straight into walls if you are on a ledge above them. This actually makes them easier to kill from above since the original pinkies tend to run amok but these new ones stay focused on killing you. As a result, it is easier to shoot them. Revenants might have jet packs but they appear unable to leave their spawn areas as well. Often I've come to an area on a map that has a few revanants on a ledge above me, and they are attacking and firing up their jet packs but never leave the ledge they originated from? As a result, the jet pack isn't really needed or a benefit to them in this case.

Also, since the chainsaw isn't limited in the original game, the new one is way too overpowered as it kills pretty much all these enemies in no time at all and never runs out of any fuel/ammo in this case.

Even with these changes and what seems like should be easier kills, it is actually much more difficult overall. The 2016 Cyberdemon in this original doom universe is way too hard to take down in normal game play now.
