Doom III Windows, Mac, Linux, XBOX game

What's New in v1.2

Shotgun Spread Control: You can easily adjust the Shotgun spread using the menus (see the images below). Works in singleplayer (no restrictions) and in multiplayer (controlled by the server).

Bug Fixes: The detected bugs from the previous version have been fixed. See the included list of changes for the details.

Instructions for the Steam Overlay: Using the Steam overlay with CstDoom3 is possible. If you're interested, see Appendix E of the included manual.

About The Shotgun Spread

Put simply, the shotgun spread refers to how far apart the pellets are scattered when you shoot. This is illustrated in the image below. The left side corresponds to a spread of 22 (the default in singleplayer) and the right side to a spread of 11 (the default in multiplayer). In both cases, the holes in the wall were produced by firing the Shotgun 7 times in the same direction. To facilitate the comparison, a red circle enclosing all holes has been added to each side (these circles don't appear in-game).

As you can imagine, a nice way to make the shotgun more effective is to reduce its spread. The new Shotgun Spread options (SP and MP) allow you to do precisely that. In singleplayer, you are free to experiment and choose any value you want (a suggested value is 11). In multiplayer, the shotgun spread is controlled by the server.

A Tip

Recall that the multiplayer menus have also been updated, so you can configure the settings of CstDoom3 from there too. The images below give an idea of what these menus look like.
