International Doom is a small, functional and simple source port, created with help, efforts and bits of code from people around the world. Initially it was started in 2016 as translation-only project, but further development was inspired by Crispy Doom and Doom Retro source ports (and continued with extensive support from their authors - Fabian Greffrath and Brad Harding).
International Doom was previously known as "Russian Doom", but was renamed in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1]
With version 7.0, the source port had undergone a significant rewrite, based primarily upon Nechaevskaya's CRL source port, itself derived from Chocorenderlimits. The release dropped several prominent features, such as DOS support, Heretic and Hexen, as well as translations. Dasperal took up maintainership of the original codebase under the project's former name, Russian Doom, with Nechaevskaya's approval.[2] Heretic and Hexen support was returned in version 7.4.
Major features[edit]
- Optional True Color render.
- Up to 6x (1200p) rendering resolutions.
- Uncapped framerate.
- Additional, darker gamma-correction levels.
- Support for OPL2, OPL3, MIDI, FluidSynth and GUS music playback.
- In-game keyboard and mouse bindings.
- Various visual, audible, physical and demo enhancements.
- Compatibility with vanilla-engine demos.
- Removed limitations of vanilla engine.
- Support for nodes in extended format (ZDBSP and DeePBSP).
- Support for BEX/DEHEXTRA DeHackEd extensions.
Compatibility[edit]
Gameplay features from "Physical" and "Compatibility-breaking" sections are putting changes in game mechanics, making it no longer 100% original. However, these features are optional and never active in multiplayer and demo recording/playing to provide maximum compatibility and prevent desyncs.
BOOM/MBF/MBF21 specifications are not supported.

- Doom shareware, registered, The Ultimate Doom
