Run server as DDOM with whatever other settings you feel like.
Just ensure that teamstarts are enabled.

Objective?  Teams must take control of both domination points
and hold onto them for 8 seconds to score a point.

There's a few new items to pickup in these maps.  Nothing that's
overly retarded or confusing though!  These are:

ARMORSPHERE - awards 2 points of armor every 2 seconds the player
stays alive.  This will not exceed 200%

REGENSPHERE - boosts players health by 5% every 5 seconds up to a
maximum of 100%

LARGE HEALTH BONUS - similar to the regular blue health potions
that appear in Doom, but these grant an extra 5% of health.  As
with their Doom counterparts, they can boost health beyond 100%,
all the way up to 200%

SMALL BOX OF ROCKETS - contains 3 rockets rather than 5

ENERGY CELL MINIPACK - gives 100 cell ammo

SILVER ARMOR - 50% armor pickup

GOLD ARMOR - awards 300% armor (if you can find it!)

Shpiel:
* I created my first ever Ddom map for Kilgore almost 4years ago
(that map's included, but it looks a damn sight different now).
Back when I made it Ddom wasn't even in the private testing phase
and the dom points were being spawned at the positions of red and
blue flags.

But without being able to test these things, I was prettymuch
working in the dark.  And nobody else seemed to have a clue (or
any interest in mapping for it).  Then somebody made the dick move
of deciding to take my semi-complete maps and throw them up on a
server for some testing.  Even the ones with no guns in ffs.

So I just dumped the project for a while.  Of course, since then,
a whole community pack sprung up.  Predictably it got named "zd
ddom map pack1", like there's some kind of official seal of
approval for these things or as if the maps somehow met up to some
kind of gold standard.  Krawa was also the worst admin for that
project.  Nicest guy, but that came to be a problem when I'd
suggest things get fixed in some maps.  Because he'd rather have
flawed maps out there than risk upsetting the authors.

Anyway, I got back to working on this from time to time.
Converted a couple of maps, added some new ones, got one from Luca.
But I kept on polishing it up and thinking "hey I could add just
one more map to round the pack out!" and so it's just been in this
whole Duke Nukem Forever/Zdaemon1.09 state for years with
constantly moving goalposts and never getting closer to actual
release.  But enough now.  Four years for just eight original maps
is truly ridiculous, and I just want it crossed off my WIP list.

It's not like anybody's even going to play it, so why keep toiling
away?  I'm not sure that half of the players on Zdaemon know what
Double Domination is, and significantly less than that would be
seen dead in a server playing it.  Maybe it'll get some games in
South America (where they love their 3 and 4 way CTF).  But I
kinda doubt it.  Maybe I'll port it to Zandronum now.  It'd still
only get played twice a year, but at least people would bother to
show up there to play it.

Not that I imagine the maps are the greatest things.  Idk.  Some
of them had a bit of a playtest once, but they've all changed
greatly since then.  I can certainly guarantee that this pack is
no worse than "the official one"  XD
