Greetings ladies and gentlemen:

I've recently been playing Freedom 0.9 and Strainfix through Freedoom and I'm impressed. I recommend it if you have spare time.

Odamex and Prboom-plus are very good engines but only prboom-plus is in Trisquel's repos. Odamex can be compiled without problems but be carefull because it doesn't have "make unisntall" so I suggest you install it where is easy for you to remove (checkinstall is usefull in cases like this).

I only had the need to share my opinion if you are asking why I did this post.

I have to admit that I have spent WAY too much time playing this. It is all the joy of Doom from the 90's but done so much better.

Yea, it's pretty awesome. :)
I've played Odamex with some great WADs- it's perfect.
Some people say "There aren't any AAA Free Software games!"
Um, bitches, we got Freedoom!

Er... Freedoom is not a AAA game. That term refers to games with really high budgets and marketing, and I'm pretty sure Freedoom has little or none of either.

Sorry, perhaps I should've clarified my jest:
'AAA' implies quality, and I said "We got Freedoom, bitches!" implying that Freedoom was of higher quality than an AAA game.

Some AAA games are complete crap. But honestly, if we're going to talk about high-quality games, I think I'd reference games like Xonotic, Armagetron Advanced, and Freeciv rather than Freedoom. Freedoom is really fun and a great project, but it's still in alpha and doesn't have an ending (it just starts repeating the same non-level fillers over and over again after a while).

I agree, Fredoom is great! What's the "pratical" difference between Odamex and Prboom?

Odamex is more advanced and supports multiplayer.

Basically compatibility with other wads: since doom engine got GPL, there where many forks with different features and developers decided to take advantage of the new functionalities provided. As a result, a some wads are compatible only with the engine it was designed for. For instance, Hacx is not compatible with odamex and does not work well with prboom but works very well with eternity engine.

There are more differences like being able to look upwards in Odamex.

I would recommend doomsday but I couldn't make the latest stable version work.

Actually, PrBoom+ supports looking up and down, though it doesn't support manual vertical aiming.

I think Odamex (odamex) has a console even in singleplayer,
and also network support.

PrBoom (prboom) doesn't have a console, and doesn't have
multiplayer support.

PrBoom+ (prboom-plus) doesn't have a console also, but
has multiplayer support.

There's also Vavoom (vavoom), but I couldn't get it to run.

I also tried Doomsday Engine (doomsday-engine), it has
improved OpenGL support, but yet uses less resources, but
the latest stable version requires the original Doom 2 as
IWAD (main game file) if you're trying to play Freedoom 2,
and the majority of levels get normal players stuck (unless
you use the noclip mode). If I recall correctly, the version in
Trisquel's repositories works with Freedoom 2 as IWAD
(main game), with no need for the original Doom 2, but you
can't respawn in multiplayer matches.

Respectfully, Adonay.
Have a nice day.
