Open Doom : The worlds first Infinitely Sized Open World RPG Mod, and it's for doom 2!

 Over the last month, I've been working on a project that uses the code for my procedurally generated doom 2 mod that was called blockmap, and turns that into an infinetly sized Open World Doom themed Rpg, as a Doom 2 mod....

The Mod, called Open Doom, has a special version called Open Doom : hardcore edition and it's available on my itch page here, for downloading.

The mod starts you in a room with a lot of color coded switches. Eye switches allow you to choose a perk or roll your stats, so you flip both of those first.... Flip the right one to roll your stats and flip the left one multiple times to choose your perk till you find one you like... Then flip the right most switch on the opposite wall to build a map.... Now exit the map in the nearby exit.

Now your in the open world.... Press the left most glowing lion switch on the left wall to select a stat to upgrade. Flip the switch to the right of it to upgrade that stat, at the expense of your skill points.  You earn skill points by beating maps or doing quests. Make sure you put points into Survival (lessens disease damage), Capacity (allows you to carry more ammo), and damage resistance!

Now build the outdoor area and RUN to the nearby red teleport. That will put you in a dungeon to explore.... Clear it out and return to the outdoor area when done.... If you find a marine talk to him to do a quest and return and talk to any marine in the military base (gotten by going through a white teleport in the open world area) to complete it. They can also give you quests....


Be careful... Diseases can hit you as you clear more and more levels. The more levels you clear the more likely you'll catch a disease. If you do hit the key you bind to recall spell several times till you are on top of a teleport and use that to leave the map and cure your disease with the right most switch on the back wall...

This mod uses randomized quests that have random objective. It is compatible with many enemy and weapon replacement mods but isn't compatible with ones that have player upgrades, so don't play this with HXRTC or DRLA.  And No, It ISN'T compatible with fucking brutal doom. I hate brutal doom and never will make it compatible, PERIOD!

Mods It Is compatible with - texture pack to use with them (load the mod, the texture pack, then this mod in order)

Xim Star Wars Doom - textures are built in
Dn3doom - dn3doom textures and music on their moddb

* - make sure to use version 0,3, don't use the one that has the stats in it....
