Site downtime...
Posted by Eruanna on 3 June 2010 at 00:24
Sometime between 9AM and 3PM GMT, 6/3/2010, the site will be undergoing downtime for a transfer. It is being moved to another location.

The downtime might be a total of 6 hours, providing there is no complications.

This is in direct response to the recent rash of outages that have occurred over the past month.

UPDATE: The move was successful, and the site is now being served from the new host.
DRD Team is pleased to announce...
Posted by Enjay on 1 April 2010 at 00:34
... the release of Paranoid, a production of The Persecution Complex - hosted by DRDTeam.

Paranoid is a Half Life themed Doom II mod for GZDoom*. In the role of Dr. Rolf Bellmer, you will explore previously unseen areas of the Black Mesa Facility realized via eight maps interconnected in a hub structure.


With true 3D architecture integral to the design of the maps and the whole theme being very much in the style of the original Half-Life, Paranoid seeks to capture a great deal of the feel of Half Life-like gameplay but in the Doom engine. This style is neither Half-Life, nor Doom. It's Paranoid.


The levels are complimented by newly DECORATEd enemies with hi-res sprites, non-Doom palette graphics throughout, scenery (and some interactive) models and an original sound track.


Want more information? See screenshots, credits, and more information at Doom Nexus!


So, what are you waiting for? Grab that crowbar and download! (approx. 80 mb)



Because of the extensive use of GZDoom and other advanced features, Paranoid requires the following system specs to run even at lower resolutions:
GZDoom 1.4.8
1.8ghz Processor
1 GB RAM
Hardware Accelerated Video Card w/at least 256 MB video ram

And when you're done playing (or if you need help with) the game, visit the Persecution Complex Forums. There, you'll be able to report bugs, ask/answer questions, tell us how much you love the game, tell us how much you .... well you know what we mean.
Good news
Posted by Eruanna on 29 March 2010 at 18:03
Thanks to the donations thus far, this site is good to go for at least another 6 months now. I would like to give a special thanks to everyone who donated - I will not mention names here in order to protect the confidentiality of the donors, it will be up to themselves to reveal it if they want to.

On behalf of both the entire DRD Team and Skulltag communities, I would like to say thank you again to those who have donated.

If you still wish to help out, it's not too late, and any funds will be contributed toward the site's balance.
Well... Paypal didn't work!
Posted by Eruanna on 24 February 2010 at 17:57
I really hate to do this - after asking for donations - but unfortunately, Paypal won't verify my account - I did everything correct, even contacted them, but there's nothing I can do. The only thing I can do now is simply refund everyone's money.

If anyone is still interested in donating to the site, I have a friend who has a Paypal account all set up and ready to go, but I will only give the details privately.

I'm really sorry this happened, everyone. :( I appreciate everyone who wanted to contribute, though! You should expect to see your refunds soon.
A little kindness goes a long way...

As some of you may notice, the front page now has a Paypal donation link. This is for those of you who wish to donate to the site's maintenance and bills.

Donation is purely optional, and there will be no in-site incentives (besides you being a Good Samaritan!) - the funds will be used strictly for paying DRD Team's bills.

Why am I doing this so suddenly? Well, I won't go into too much detail here, but lately some of you know I've fallen under health problems and getting them fixed takes LOTS of money. I've suddenly become a little concerned for the site's future, as I do not have the financial means to pay for the surgeries that I need to keep myself from falling apart. So - unfortunately - this means that I'm going to have to rely on my existing financial power - and I have no idea what effect that will have on the site, as of yet. I am still exploring many options, including extra sources of income, but money is very tight right now.

Anyway, like I said - it's purely optional - but any donation is appreciated - and like I said before, what you donate to the site stays with the site! (If I do end up having to close it down (unlikely), any donations that are not used will be refunded).

P.S.: For anyone interested, since I've been asked this by a few people already, the site costs $30 every month - it's a Linode 540 plan. It also hosts SVN and IRC and ChanServ and a few other goodies, which is the reason for going VPS instead of going with a normal shared hosting plan - and as you can tell it's obviously much faster than a normal shared site package as well.
RSS feeds fixed... somewhat
Posted by Eruanna on 24 December 2009 at 17:53
RSS feeds are now once again updated on the site. However, they are different than they have used to work.

Currently, any RSS feed will only pull from all news forums. We do have plans on changing this in the future, but what this means currently, is if you subscribe to GZDoom, for example, you will get all of DRD Team's news. This feature uses phpBB's default RSS feed system, which used to only be available as a mod.

The subscription link is http://forum.drdteam.org/feed.php?mode=news - if you're familiar with feed.php you may change the parameters as you see fit for your favorite reader application. :)

Sweet Sixteen, And Other Cliché Teen Movie Plots
Posted by wildweasel on 10 December 2009 at 20:36
Sixteen years ago today, the shareware version of Doom was uploaded to bulletin board services across the United States and beyond.

Fun Fact: Doom is now old enough to meet Venezuela's age-of-consent law. Ironically, however, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez would probably not allow Doom in the country due to its violent content.
The new DRD 2100 series styles
Posted by Eruanna on 3 December 2009 at 13:57
Thanks to Tormentor667, we now have a new set of default styles. These styles come in 4 different color schemes, and are also sleeker and more clean than the original style.

So give them a try!

(Note that veteran board users will have to switch to the new styles manually, all new accounts will be on the default "Original Cyan" style already)
Introducing the DRD Team IRC Network!
Posted by Eruanna on 30 September 2009 at 18:55
The DRD Team is proud to announce our newest offering to the Doom community - the DRD Team IRC Network!

This network is created pretty much for discussing anything Doom-related, or even just to make friends with some Doom fans.

To connect, simply type /server irc.drdteam.org in your favorite IRC client, or use this link here: irc://irc.drdteam.org/

Our main channel is #drdteam

If you have trouble, the network services have extensive help screens to aid you in getting everything figured out, and failing that, you may ask myself or Morpheus if you need to learn how to do something. :)

Enjoy!
