I was investigating ZDoom 1.23 and it appears that the formula used there makes the shots slightly more compressed vertically and stretched a bit more which is very close (if not identical) to what ZD used.<br /><br />Upon analysis of the ZDoom 1.23 gameplay, it appears that the random engine actually manages to focus some of the shots around the center (why? idk yet), which means extra bullets naturally have a higher chance of connecting (even at a longer distance). If you want you can try it out yourself by downloading the binary of ZDoom 1.23 beta 33 and shoot the ssg at a flat wall. I tried on doom2 map01 and looking at the decals you can see that accuracy is rewarded.<br />It appears that ZDaemon happened to base it&#039;s game off of the most overpowered version of ZDoom (ssg/rockets/jumping/speed/what have you). Could it be sheer luck that they picked such a multiplayer friendly version?<br /><br />So far as of the latest revision, a lot of flags are co_[something], this could be co_zdrandom (as in zdoom, not zdaemon though most people would automatically assume zd anyways). This in turn may possibly affect all hitscan weapons, not just the ssg.<br /><br /><br /><br />[b]Most importantly[/b] it depends on how many people want this. The odamex dev&#039;s aren&#039;t quite for it, but the IDL can run it&#039;s own binary. As of right now, I&#039;ve heard an overwhelming response of &#039;yes please&#039; to this feature getting in (could just be a flag used). Vanilla doom will still be there if we ever want to go back to it.<br />Right now if this happened to actually end up making it feel the way a majority of us are used to, we may actually be able to inject lifeblood back into the IDL instead of continuing to watch it wither away and have to fight just to scrape a team or two together. Maybe this + franchising could give us the boost the IDL needs to stand strong again without having to reduce ourselves to the lowest common denominator of players?<br /><br />I BELIEVE based on my discussion that if the community (yes, you who are reading this!) want to see it in, they will go for it.<br /><br />If this is what you want, odamex 0.6.3 with its new &quot;zdaemon/zdoom123&quot;-like physics + this possible solution could usher in a new era since dr_sean is working on the best netcode ever seen in doom history... bar none.
