Hi everyone, since I don’t like the news function on moddb. I find it very impractical…
I’m sharing my update here on Doom Vault.
As of today, I’m actively working on expanding level 2 again after getting some fresh inspiration from DreamCore and Pools.
Please forgive me for only being able to build in the evenings and for a few hours at a time (children, family, etc.).

Nevertheless, I still want to keep you updated.

Thanks for reading: Here are a few new screenshots.

(All images are from testing without shaders)

Addendum :

I’ve updated the Google Drive link the latest version uploaded today contains approximately 30-35% of the completed level two.
Please keep in mind that the level is not finished and I am constantly removing or adding things.

Edit: I forgot to include the switch in level 1 that opens the door to the red key, Sorry

Hi everyone, it’s me again =)

I hope there’s no post limit, otherwise someone will complain if I spam the forum XD

If nothing else comes up, I will release Alpha 3 in the next few days.
After much deliberation, I’ve removed the non-precached version because my desktop PC also frequently crashed or froze. However, precaching has been improved and is now located in the mod’s main directory and no longer in the dedicated map.wad file.

I must also say that I really liked the tool from : Hakros and I used one of his Skyboxes and of course, credit is due here the software is simply superb.

Finally, here are a few screenshots.

Hey guys, I’ve been inactive for a few days.
I’ve mostly been hanging out on moddb, Doomworld, and itchio.

However, there is some news:
There is now an official ReShade version with everything included, also GZDoom and the Freedoom.wad (if I haven’t forgotten them).
To make things easier, it can be started via a .bat file there are also 3 versions of the reshade.ini file for ease of use to switch between the one that suits your computer the best :

Pool-Room-Dooms(Normal)
PoolDoomRoom-Performancemode
Reshade Off

To start all the Stuff without drag and drop use Start PoolDoomRooms.bat
(This optional Drag and Drop still works if you prefer that)

I also removed all previously used Shaders from the mod so that there are no crashes or that it looks cluttered.

If this version is more popular than the base version of PK3 without any extras, it will replace the standard version in the future.
However, PK3 will still be playable without all the extras if desired.

And now a few screenshots of the ReShade version.

Reshade Version

Today I made a snap decision to release the Reshade version.

The following text is a 1:1 copy of my Moddb.com entry.

Update:

I tested the ReShade version with friends and acquaintances, and it will replace the current version.

GZdoom version:

This version comes with GZdoom. You need a legal Doom2.wad or freedoom.wad file to run the mod the wad file must also be placed in the GZDoom folder.

Reshade is already installed with the Vulkan API and does not work with OpenGL.

The entire mod also doesn’t work with OpenGL ES.

Start:

Drag and drop the pk3 file onto Gzdoom.exe or simply use the .bat file .bat file name (StartPoolDoomRooms.bat)

In my experience, this method is more user friendly and a one-click solution.

Troubleshooting:

If it absolutely refuses to work, PoolDoomRooms.pk3 can also simply be started with your GzDoom.

Simply copy the pk3 file to your gzdoom folder or wherever you store your mods.

Reshade settings:

This is an experiment, and the ReShade version includes 3 custom INI files that can be loaded via the ReShade menu.

1. Normal: as it should be

2. Performance: for laptops or less powerful PCs

3. Off: if nothing works

To open the Reshade menu, use the POS1 key (Home key).

Finally, the Updates (Maps):

Level 1 has been tested for errors and is running.

Level 2 is currently being expanded and has been slightly adjusted there is also a red key that needs to be found.

The real update is Reshade and the level enhancements.

Hey, I just saw your mod and I already knew about it, or at least I heard about it recently. It’s really good, looks great! ;-)

Congratulations.

Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it.
By the way, I used one of your great skyboxes for level 2 it reminds me somewhat of a synthwave album cover.

Kollech87 Cool , thanks for use it :-D !!

Hi everyone, this is an exact copy of my post from itch.io

Hey guys, my current main interest is in PoolDoomRooms but….however, I’ve currently hit a wall in terms of my creativity, and so that I can clear my head again for new ideas, I have decided to continue building on Verdammnis.
It won’t be anything major, just a general overhaul of things that annoyed me, and the water texture pack from PoolDoomRooms will also be added, I will also add a GZDoom version that has ReShade installed (this is optional, as with PoolDoomRooms), so PK3 will also work without this feature.*
**
That means I will re-release Verdammnis when it’s finished.***
Don’t expect a Demon version or anything like that, as I’m only doing this on the side and Verdammnis is actually already finished and can be played from beginning to end.
There will also be no reconstruction of the maps, only a few embellishments here and there, Texture errors are also fixed, as Verdammnis is based on Sergeant_Mark_IV’s Eday.pk3, which he had made available to me ages ago.

There aren’t any screenshots yet, but I’ve already reached level 12.

However, Vewrdammnis has about 70 levels, so it’ll still take a while.
