Bring Your Own Class
A downloadable BYOC for Windows
Welcome to BYOC!
BYOC (Bring Your Own Class) is a modification forDoom 2 that aims to collaborate creators from a private community to have themBringYheirOwnClasses in ZDoom derivative sourceports like:Zandronum. While it's made for online, Co-op play, this can be played offline as well.
In the mod there will be both well known characters that you know and love (e.g.Doomguy fromDoom,Dr. Doomguy fromDr. Doom, Peppino fromPizza Tower,Heavy fromTF2,Serious Sam fromSerious Sam,Sir Dan fromMedievil,Quote fromCave Story andPTG from PTG) and some original author created characters!
All of them have their own arsenals, gimmicks and gameplay quirks that help them stand out between each other! The mod is primarily designed to be played in multiplayer, but can be booted in singleplayer as well. IT'S EASIER THAN EVER HAVING THE ZANDRONUM COOP SETUP WITH THE "ALL IN ONE" DOWNLOAD!!
This mod was primarily tested on Zandronum, BUT This now works with GZDoom. To run the mod with Zandronum or GZDoom you have to acquire a copy of the "doom2.wad".
This mod was also NOT made for DM/PVP gamemodes. It will launch in those, but you can only expect poorly balanced gameplay/improper functionality from that.
[NEW]GZDOOM Support
A GZDoom version has been made for those who want to play with certains mods like Corruption Cards and GZDoom & MBF-21 mapsets.
This version is EXPERIMENTAL and we'd appreciate if you could report any bugs on the GZDoom Blog post(This one --> Blog Post), mostly so we can fix any crashes.
Since developing this version takes away from the main focus, Zandronum Coop, it won't be updated as often.
ALL IN ONE DOWNLOAD (WINDOWS)
We made it easy for people without doom modding experience or who only are unfamiliar with Zandronum to just jump in and play BYOC!
(You'll still need to drag doom2.wad inside the folder for the proper experience)
---------
Extra Inputs Needed by some classes
- Alt-Fire;
- Reload;
- Zoom;
---------
FAQ
- Why make a mod for Zandronum?
- The focus is Coop play. We recommend playing this with friends on TSPG. The file BYOCv2.0.pk3 is already hosted on the site!
- "Why does it not work for GZDoom?! The mod isn't that much more complicated than Combined Arms. GZDoom is the most widely compatible source port of all time!!"
- Turns out I gave in and made the GZDoom version. Don't expect it to be as up to date as Zandronum when there's an update tho.
- "The HUD is too small! "
- Zandronum
- Type in "hud_scale 1" in the in game console (by default bound to tilde, ~).
- GZDoom
- Go to options > full options menu > HUD options > Scaling options. Our recommended modified settings are:
- User interface scale: 3
- Messages: 2
- Go to options > full options menu > HUD options > Scaling options. Our recommended modified settings are:
- Zandronum
- "How do I trigger the character's custom HUD?"
- Press "-" ingame. Or alternatively go to "Options>Display Options" and set Screen Size to 10.
---------
Known bugs
- "When playing Co-op and changing classes between maps, my character bugs out and my game crashes!"
- This is a Zandronum 3.1 bug. It is already fixed in Zandronum 3.2 pre-release builds, available on TSPG by default (Thanks Kaminsky).
- "There's a bunch of yellow text showing up on GZDOOM!"
- They're just irrelevant truncation and load order issues that don't seem to affect gameplay as far as we know, but let us know if you spot something during gameplay.
