Thisis a mod that I started developing before the Beta Labs were released. The goal is to refine and remake the levels from alpha versions (something in the spirit of KDIZD, with the exception of overdetail), as well as introduce some gameplay and not only features. Well, something to take from Doom Bible.

Alpha ZDoom. I like how it looks! I've seen a good handful of alpha inspired projects that all go for the classic feel, but it's nice to see something different with the theme. I dunno if I can help with mapping as I have my own projects to try and work on. Maybe music if you're interested. Good luck!


This looks fantastic! Don't let the Alpha/Bible curse bring you down, 16 maps is achievable. I would offer my services, but currently working Nihility too much rn, plus its been years since I used zdoom for mapmaping. Good Luck!


Looks nice, I always liked the atmosphere/look of the alphas and this seems to be hitting the same notes. Cramped areas make the more open areas stand out, where in the original doom it always felt pretty open most of the time. Are you just updating the existing maps or are you making any from scratch?


Even though it's completely feasible to make a game that accurately resembles what Tom was going for, something about that design is cursed, Doomed if you'll pardon the pun. Something about it is just tedious to make, and I haven't seen a single (faithful) attempt succeed. (also, sometimes drama)


Not to mention, the Doom Bible is very sparse, and there's surely a whole lot of unreleased material (old discarded maps, Tom once told me that about 50% of the geometry from the "open world" mapset was recycled in the revised linear alpha mapset, the other 50% was canned) that would present a clearer picture. I suspect a lot of the missing detail was in Tom's head, likely not committed to document form, and probably lost after a quarter century.


If you think you can pull it off, then I applaud you, but consider that it's a very great challenge and that you might enjoy yourself better working on something original if the challenge is too much.


Promised demo version. IWAD: DOOM.WAD

In the demo there are 2 levels of the planned 14. It is advisable to run it in the software renderer. The maps have been completed and remade many times and it is possible that to the final version the levels from the demo version can be changed (as usual). For various resources, thanks to Evil Unleashed, Doom Delta, Bobby's Lost Midis and others.


Cool screenshots although I feel like the sloped sectors really defy the intended feeling of being a Doom alpha from early 1993. I would love to work on this if I weren't already working on my own megawad.


Just finished the first map and I gotta be honest. It felt less like I was playing the Doom alpha and more like I was just playing a modern zDoom wad. The maps were just far too detailed and utilized too many modern doom-isms. On their own they certainly aren't bad maps, I just feel like they don't achieve what they set out to do.


The machine gun seems underpowered. Rifle needs average 4 shoots to take imps down, machine gun needs average 6 (like the original pistol/chaingun damage). I end up playing with the rifle for far enemies (tapping up down button for accuracy) and never using machine gun.


I find the slopes to be rather non-offensive, if you think of System Shock, which, admittedly came a year later, then this doesn't seem too out of the time period. Hell, even Ultima Underworld had slopes, and that was before we got Wolfenstein 3D.


Coyote groups are always family groups: genetically-related individuals with the same parents. They are not like dog packs, where unrelated individual dogs form groups for survival purposes. If a new group of coyotes was seen that included juveniles, the young ones would have had to have been born last year, when our mother had no pups. They would have been born to another alpha since only alphas breed.


Then again, she might be too old now for pups, or she might have sustained internal injuries from that car accident that prevent her from having more puppies. One theory brought up in the literature is that coyotes self-regulate their population sizes. If an area has all the coyotes it can support, coyotes will have very tiny litters, or none at all.


Coyotes reappeared in San Francisco in 2002 after many years of absence, and people are still in the dark about them. This site is to help bring light to their behavior and offer simple guidelines for easy coexistence.


My information comes from my own first-hand observations of our very own coyotes here in San Francisco. They have not been studied or observed so thoroughly by anyone else. Mine is not generic information, nor second-hand.


All information and photos in my postings come from my own original and first-hand documentation work which I am happy to share, with permission and with properly displayed credit: janetkessler/coyoteyipps.com.


And according to a report published in March by Tabb Group (Imperfect knowledge: international perspectives of transaction cost analysis), a big reason why the buy side is so interested in TCA is because buyers identify trading costs as their "most prevalent source of lost alpha".


Delphi 2006's TImage doesn't quite support PNGs. In order to have images with alpha transparency on my forms I have to load them at run-time. I can load them at design time but they don't survive, I think because PNGs are not saved in the DFM file. I'm sure this is all hunky-dory in the latest Delphi but I can't upgrade right at the moment.


This has worked OK, until I had a problem where I was trying to reuse one of these images somewhere else after it had been used on a form. I discovered that the act of assigning the TPicture had set it to an empty image as a result of the Assign. This was happening in the routine TPicture.ForceType, which AFAICT checks the type of FGraphic, and if it is not the desired type, it frees FGraphic and creates a new instance of the requested type.


The first time the routine to print the logo is called it executes without error, but the LogoImage .Picture is left cleared after the call to PrintBitmapRect. The next time the print header routine is called, the call to CalcGraphicHeight fails because the width and height of the image are zero.


Changing the Picture.Assign to a Picture.Bitmap.Assign fixes the RTE in the header print routine, but when I transplanted the same "fix" to other static images assigned from PNGs (like the gears above) I lost the aplha channel.

The Alpha 200i and Alpha 300i dog tracking handhelds are equipped with inReach technology. To locate a lost dog tracking handheld that has an active inReach subscription, see - Locating My Lost or Stolen inReach Device


For dog tracking handhelds that do not have inReach enabled, there is no way to remote-locate the handheld. If you have your handheld paired to another handheld you could potentially track the lost handheld if within tracking range. To learn how to pair your handheld to another, see your handhelds owners manual.

Deterioration of rat liver mitochondrial function during cold preservation with UW solution was studied. Mitochondria were isolated from control liver (0-hr preservation), 24-hr preserved liver, and 48-hr preserved liver with UW solution at 4 degrees C. Respiration assay revealed that phosphorylation was damaged more rapidly than oxidation. Inside-out submitochondrial particles prepared from each sample by sonication in the presence of EDTA were subjected to ATPase assay. ATP hydrolyzing activity of H(+)-ATPase (ATP synthase), which plays a key role in phosphorylation in mitochondria, decreased markedly to 58% after 24-hr preservation. After 48-hr preservation, reduction to 40% of control was noted. When an intrinsic H(+)-ATPase inhibitor protein was removed from ESMP by Sephadex gel filtration, decrease of the ATPase activity was enhanced down to 49% and 29% of the control for 24-hr and 48-hr preserved liver, respectively. Molecular damage of the enzyme was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. Alpha subunit of the enzyme decreased time-dependently, and H(+)-ATPase molecules that lost alpha subunit seemed to lose their catalytic activity. Although the cause of the molecular damage of H(+)-ATPase is not clear yet, some mitochondrial protease(s) may be involved.


A multi-channel version of the multi foil thermal detector (MFTD) prototype has been developed and tested at the FNL ion accelerator in Tohoku University, which uses an imaging bolometer as a thermal sensor and 2-dimensional set of the foils with the different thicknesses as an energy discriminator for alphas.A Phoenix IR camera from FLIR Systems had been used for monitoring the temperature profile variations under the ion beam irradiation.The results obtained showed that the tested foils are applicable for the MFTD design.
