Ah, I never really formally declared it on these pages, did I? Sorry about that. The circumstances around this project got complicated, both on the collaborative side and the mechanical side.

I wouldn't really consider myself a great programmer, but the way I coded this ended up beingParticularly Not Great; when hosted for long times on a server, it became a memory hog unlike anything else. We tried out various different things to fix it and there were streams attempting to handle things, but everything ended up making it worse--at one point we even had the then-admin of the master server come in to help us monitor and debug things, with a record low of 12 minutes before a server crashed.

I had a lot of fun working on this project, but unfortunately my code wasn't (isn't?) very network-sustainable and every attempt to fix it only made it worse. So it ended up kind of hamstringing itself before it really took off.

You probably need an older version of GZDoom at this point. This released in 2018 so imagine a version like 3.8.2 would probably work.

nevermind I fixed it, for some reason my decal limit was set to 0 before I downloaded this

A pipe dream idea I'd like to do in the future (don't take this as a guarantee) is being able to customize how a ball appears, swapping between different skins for it.
