NEWS7/23/00 There is a tourney I just heard about, DOOM COM TOURNEY. Make sure to go HERE and sign up, today is the last day!
NEWS7/22/00 Doomserv Oregon server is down for the weekend, should be back up Monday, TGO touts some isp problems. The Doom Website of the Month is now featured for July on Bob Larkin's site, Doom Wad Station. Click HERE to check out that website.
NEWS7/9/00 There is a new version of CS Doom released. “Ghosts” in the game are fixed, a new launcher face, no more need to update the master.cfg file, and lost packet reroute fixes. Teamplay is added as well. Also make sure you have the latest version of Doomserv which has CS Doom support as well as a great way to implement zdoom games and find local doomers.
NEWS6/20/00 Try this site for your Dooming Needs: Harry's Doomplanet. This is a section with his wadfiles and demos to go with them. He is currently working on Pipes a wadfile which began construction in January. Go get Library.wad for zdoom and boom engines, just finished.
NEWS6/17/00 FALCONER'S RARE FILES FOR DOOM has a new home, go there and bookmark it! There is plenty of stuff there for the serious Doomer who likes both deathmatching, and challenging single-player levels. CS DOOM VERSION 0.5 is out, and should be downloaded for the newest features. There is also a source code available, so the code guru's can grab it and fix it!
NEWS6/24/00 The CS Doom Master Server has changed it's address. Open master.cfg in your doom2 directory (or where you have csdoom installed) and replace the address between the quotes with this: 24.8.143.154
NEWS5/28/00 There looks to be a much more reliable beta client and server released for Client/Server Doom (C/S DOOM). Make sure to visit the website, check the client out, hit the server and try it. I did, and I liked it. This code is in beta-testing mode now, so expect a few crashes. The first time I ran it, I got an illegal op, it shut down, then when I ran it again, ran fine. I joined an eight-player fragfest on E1M1 that didn't move too slow for that many players. There is a server code out there for the client, but the author is recommending DSL at least to be a server.
NEWS4/8/00 A new WAD OF THE MONTH page, you gotta check this one out. A new intro, hope you like it. If it's too long for you regular visitors, use the contact link and blast me. I can shorten it, but I may not remove it completely as it is pretty cool. Team 3057 with XBlade and co. are working diligently on their project-- Doom 3057. Be sure to visit their site.
NEWS2/18/00 There are new PICS OF THE WEEK up for February. They are awesome zdoom deathmatch pics, and r has done a great job being the zdoom deathmatch photographer. He also has a great two-for-one kill in one of the photos. Check them out!
NEWS2/8/00 There seems to be quite a few feathers ruffled in the Doom community over Birdman's release of Boomtown. There seems to be a lot of fuss over originality. From what I have seen, (and I've only breezed through it) it seems original and looks to be the result of hard work. Go HERE to check out the forum at Doomworld. If you are a regular visitor here, I would appreciate you to look over the comments. I find it refreshing to see such enthusiasm (positive or negative) in the Doom community over a TC release. I believe there was a ton of work that went into the project, and Birdman did a lot of it himself.
NEWS2/3/00 Birdman
has released Boomtown Deathmatch with major improvements. This should be the final release and it is truly a work to behold! Make sure to use zdoom and you will see scrolling skies in some of the levels. Other improvements include new music. If you have never visited Boomtown,I highly recommend going. It is for the serious Doomist who loves playing in leves which push the limits of what you can do with today's advanced editing and Zdoom enhancements. Click HERE to go there now!
NEWS1/30/00 As you can see there is a new facelift, faster loading. The February Wad of the Month page is now under construction. The Original Doom section is now done, be sure to check it out HERE. If you haven't taken the time to download Doomserv, and zDoom, be sure to take the time to do so. You can blow the dust off your Doom2 cd and stop downloading Q3 Arena patches! Deathmatching in zDoom on Doomserv will bring you back to the days when games were no-too-many-frills, and concentrated on fun! With Zdoom you can do all the things you can do in Quake-type games, including skins. Doomserv brings doomers together to help keep Doom alive!
NEWS1/7/00 HAPPY New Year to all you DOOMERS! Y2K is the year for Doom! In fact every year should be. If you are itchin' for a new deathmatch level, make sure to go to the newest Wad of the Month page. Click HERE to go there. The newest version of zdoom is 1.22, and the newest version of Doomserv is 3.5. The Doomserv server was down for quite a while, probably due to the holidays, but some hardcore constant visitors and new players noticed and emailed me. I notice that when the server is down, I get some mails asking how to "get in the club." Doomserv isn't an exclusive club or clan, it is free to all who have a modem, have downloaded the free software, and have the will to frag and be fragged! However there some requirements: You must have the full-blown versions of Doom or Doom2 or ultdoom, etc... And you must have zdoom. The zdoom is free, so is the Doomserv program.
NEWS12/24/99 HAPPY HOLIDAYS DOOMERS! Make sure to visit my special affiliate, DOOM WAD STATION, who recently voted this site website of the month! Thanks to those who keep returning for this place's resources and tips. I plan to keep providing a highest quality of a site as possible for all the Doomers out there looking for internet Doom gaming, deathmatch levels, wadfile excellence, and those just looking around! Happy Holidays to All!

NEWS11/20/99 Bird Nest Designs has completed its 32 level virtual world for zdoom(11-17-99). It is a work of art to behold. Over 5000 hours went into this project. Its Zdoom compatible. This seems to be the trend with new exciting projects. There is 3-D bridges, tons more features. Visit Birdman's site. Read there, great information there. Tons of pics to check out.
NEWS11/12/99 Doomserv not connecting? Sometimes when you go to log into Doomserv, you will get a popup message “Run-time error 40006. Wrong protocol or connection state for the requested transaction or request”. There is nothing wrong with the software or installation. That simply means that the Doomserv server is down for the time being. It is unpredictable as to when the server is available, but expect it to be working most of the time. There is a hardware upgrade that is pending.
NEWS11/6/99 The November Wad of the Month page is now updated, and includes a new Mega Wad of the Month for NOV/DEC. Click HERE to check it out!
NEWS10/29/99 Here are two new dehacked files to use in your doom games with or without monsters, and usable in deathmatch: flyboy.deh and stupid.deh. Flyboy causes players to fly around when hit, and you can cause other players or monsters to fly backwards with even a pistol shot! Stupid.deh file gives tons of health, stange modifications to weapons, such as shotgun power to pistol, super-fast chaingun and shotguns; gives plasma a machine-shotgun, and interesting effect to missiles. Missiles will be slowed down tremendously, giving you the ability to launch a floating mine that will explode on impact with monsters and opponents. A must-download for doomers to check out. Get DEHACKED.ZIP
NEWS10/25/99 There is a more updated and expanded help section for those playing on Doomserv, and for gamers seeking to play Doom, Doom2, and Doom95 multiplayer, or over the internet.
NEWS10/25/99 Doomserv Version 3.5 is released today. To go get it and start fragging, click HERE.
NEWS10/20/99 There are more new pics to check out at Pics of the Week. The pics are captured and edited by r, the doom deathmatch picmaster. No where else can you find as many genuine zdoom deathmatch pics with skins.
NEWS9/25/99 Get the latest Zdoom here. Zdoom 1.18b is out. And it looks to have fixed all the bugs that were causing problems for keyboard players. There is added bot support. Doomserv users, make a zcajun directory under where you keep doomserv.exe, put the bots.cfg file in it (that came with zdoom 1.18b) and you can type addbot in the console during a game, and add another player in your game! All players must have the zcajun directory with bots.cfg in it under the doomserv directory for this to work right.
NEWS9/11/99 It looks like there is some problems with the new Zdoom. Version 1.18 has keyboard issues that if you are a keyboard user (especially for turning) that it may cause some slowdown of movement. The author had noted that in trying to keep mouse speed constant for all (frame skip) settings, it affected the keyboard input. Most Doomers are keeping 1.17c active until there is some improvement in 1.18.
NEWS9/5/99 The September Wad of the Month is out with two great wads to download and check out. The first one is ANT9 by iddqd1, as he is known on Doomserv, which is a single-level great deathmatch wad. The other one is the Mega-Wad of the Month by Milton Cosmo of Milton's Planet . To quote the Wad of the Month page : Cosmo's Carnage is a “five-level deathmatch extravaganza to say the least. It has a great theme, and will cause you to lose sleep playing Doom2, as it is great in deathmatch, but also carries a good single-player experience as well.”
ZDOOM VERSION 1.18 is officially released (the exe date is 9-6-99 and 3:18 p.m.) today. You read it here first, hopefully. Doomers and Doomservers who use Zdoom regularly should get it HERE. The file size is 568k and its a zip archive. Its a good idea to back up your v1.17c files first in case you want to downgrade for a game. The 1.17c version is no longer on the website.
NEWS8/22/99 Added a facelift here, and a feature there. Check out the " r " chive, photos by r who has a talent of getting the good shots out of a deathmatch demo. If you have pics, and want them up here, mail them HERE. By the way, if you noticed dead links on the Wad of the Month page, they are fixed. There is a lot going on in the Doom community lately, so expect a lot more news...

6/13/99 Sometimes you gotta have a game when the server is down. I mean ZDoom can be an addiction, so rather than treat it, I say feed it! Since you have picked up friends (which I hope you have) on Doomserv, you may want to get together on ICQ and have a game of Zdoom! Not sure how? Click Here.
