No free aim?

...The basic rendering concept -- horizontal and vertical lines of constant
Z with fixed light shading per band was dead-on, but the implementation
could be improved dramatically from the original code if it were
revisited.

The way the rendering proceded from walls to floors to
sprites could be collapsed into a single front-to-back walk of the bsp
tree to collect information, then draw all the contents of a subsector
on the way back up the tree.

It requires treating floors and ceilings
as polygons, rather than just the gaps between walls, and it requires
clipping sprite billboards into subsector fragments, but it would be
The Right Thing....

Some project ideas:

...Add some rendering features -- transparency, look up / down , slopes,
etc....

Have fun.

It's Doom. Only horizontal axis matters.

Sir, this is a classic Doom game

[Mobile Suit God Damn]

There are plenty of modded versions of the game like Brutal Doom that let you look up and down. Go play one of those and leave us old farts alone.

yes but most of us are used to free aim from source ports like gzdoom

Honestly with all the additions, I'm surprised the one they didn't add was a free aim option.

I see you never played the originals Doom and Doom II.

[Ｔｅｎｓｅｎｕｍａ]

I kinda do wish they'd add a free aim option or even brutal doom as a mod
would be sick

[Mr.SeriousCatt]

cant, with free aim you will get headache XD the engine is not prepared for free aim because of this

you could make it work but unless you are using a source port when you aim you will get dizzy probably hahaha

The game is not real 3D after all, is 2D

I have, it's what I grew up with. I just prefer the free aim option later source ports gave us.

This is a source port though? It's running on KEX now.

There's not gonna be any free aim unless you mod it, that wasn't how the original doom was. Doom 64 also don't have free aim, there's entire mechanics of this game built around not jumping or aiming.

You can still mod all the aiming you want but doom wasn't made to play like this, you can literally skip entire segments with jump and free aim in mods.

Only people that use the Arrows, Spacebar, and CTRL understand!

I'd like freeaim as a feature. They're already adding a bunch of optional stuff that's not available in vanilla doom and freeaim is available in plenty of other sourceports. No reason it can't be something deep in the menu you toggle on if you want it, it's not like that detracts from the people who want to just play vanilla doom.
