Freedoom is a project to create a complete Doom II-compatible IWAD file which is Free Software' The IWAD file is the file used by Doom which contains all the game data (graphics, sound effects, music, etc')' While the Doom source code is Free, you currently still need one of the proprietary IWAD files from id in order to play Doom' Freedoom aims to create a Free alternative' Combined with the GPL-licensed Doom source code this will result in a complete Free Doom-based game' The Freedoom project has already succeeded in creating a complete set of replacement textures for the original Doom games, as well as a large amount of extra material (sound effects, graphics, sprites, etc)' All of the Freedoom material can be freely redistributed, modified and reused without restriction provided credit is given to the project'

Description

Limit-removing port required+For commercial IWADs primarily! If you want to play mods or custom levels, use the official Freedoom IWADs instead! It is not worth the effort or hassle to play custom levels with this version of the mod. If you only want the sprites, such as the player and the monsters (along with their sounds), use the other version!!

Hi, there! I made a simple Freedoom in Doom's showcase in my channel (https://youtu.be/jTSlXS3HtDI) and I'm amazed on how people seemed to watched and liked it. It's not a big channel, but the views are like 4 times more than the regular numbers.

Oh sweet thanks! Glad there weren't too many issues with this, I had compatibility and conflicts in mind. And well yeah, some of my Freedoom videos got more attention than my actual Doom videos. Freedoom has a bit of a niche following you can say. :)

indeed. I got requests to make freedoom videos sometimes. I also think it's a fantastic project. not only is free, but we can use it as a source for new projects and it has some nice maps too.

No, it is not because this won't magically make some brutal Freedoom sprites. And even so, you may as well just launch the IWADs only.

Will we get an updated release? they recently changed the Flame Summoner to be something else entirely.

I have a question. As a Delta touch user is there any way of getting just the HUD without the whole mod? I don't have a PC so I can't remove everything other than the HUD via a PC.
