GLOOM
« on: September 14, 2010, 09:17:22 pm »
Anyone here playing gloom?
It is the game that inspired tremulous at least that is what is on the wiki page but we all know that NS inspired tremulous amirite? xD joke.

But srsly is any one playing it?

I am still playing it and waiting for new version (GloomSE) it is a lot like tremulous only faster.
Builders dont need to have over mind to build structures but goal is the same destroy all teleporters/eggs and players to win.

If anyone wants to try out here is the high texture pack that I made:

I combined quake 2 evolved textures with EGL
It has improved graphics

If you want to play normal quake 2 gloom

I tried playing, but I couldn't connect to the master server.

I toyed around with the classes and they seemed neat, but I couldn't see the whole game screen for some reason; that kind of limited my understanding of the game.
Overall, it seemed neat though.

Um...?
What do you mean you couldn't connect to master server?
I mean there is no master server to get the list of servers lol.
Gloom is a quake 2 mod back then we had address book for servers and we had to relay on IRC or webpages for servers :D
Kinda like web pages in late 80s when there was no google.


To get servers visit:
http://q2servers.com/?mod=gloom&g=*&m=*&c=*&ac=*&s=&player=

The only servers that have players are munimtalo and quake.de.
Quake.de have like 10 players per day from 19:00 pm till 0:00 except for suterdays and sundays then it has around 20 playes.

And yeah the classes are awesome if you play human the best are commando, mech and for aliens stinger, stalker.
Now I know alot of people who play gloom will say guardian is better then stinger but stinger has immunity toward lasers so human exterminator (battlesuit + jetpack + pulse rifle in trem lol) is useless against it not to mention human laser based defenses.
ANd also not to mention stinger great HP, Armor and most of all his flamer that cooks almost every human weak class.


Oh almost forgot for people that are interested check gloom guide to get easy started:

I had the Gloom server browser; I assumed that with that tool, there was some sort of master server. :P

It's too bad that the only server left is a Euro server. No point in me playing with a 300 ping.
