3DGE 2.1.0-Test3 DevBuilds (DRDTeam)

[RUNSABER]

2.0.4 & 2.1 Test Build Report:

Turns out my machine can run 2.1 very well, if anything it is a SIGNIFICANT improvement over the last build whereas I can play smoothly with max settings and in fullscreen via VGA! This thing runs like BUTTER! I am extremely hyped and wanted to let you all know how a fine job this port is turning out. I managed to come across 3 bugs, well plausibly 2 as the other is probably just current logic.

Bug #1: Came across a Cacodemon that randomly becomes gibbed as if were crushed by a crushing celing. Occurred on MAP05 of Doom II near the Yellow key. It happened twice in this area in the cranny which leads to the secret behind the exit. Tried replicating it but to no avail.

Bug #2: Loaded up DAMNED and defined fireball trails were horribly offset while standard sprite trails worked fine. Technically this is not a bug as I'm sure its how the current build handles PNGs, and that mod makes a fair use of them.

Bug #3: Music/sound bug with the pause key. Music returns after unpausing, yet sound is still janky and returns after the map is cleared.

Overall, my true hype comes from that new OPL emulation. I felt like I was running through DOS Doom, that funky bassy punch from UDoom's music is pretty dope! Had an 32X feel to it but better! Fantastic addition! The interpolation has greatly improved and 3DGE64 and Astral Pathfinder run smoothly as well with the exception of a few slowdowns from dynamic lighting use. I'm letting the beta loose into a final release for proper testing. Lastly, large maps are a charm - no longer do I have to moonwalk to complete some bigger environments! Runsaber Out!

Music to my ears I am so glad it is working great! I was worried that all of these additions were going to cause problems, but I am overjoyed to hear it is much improved over the 2.0 branch!!

Hmm, was the Caco stuck? Could be that the logic determined this and gibbed him for the sake of the playsim. I will look into it!

Bug #2: Loaded up DAMNED and defined fireball trails were horribly offset while standard sprite trails worked fine. Technically this is not a bug as I'm sure its how the current build handles PNGs, and that mod makes a fair use of them.

Hmm, will look into it. Make sure your PNGs dont contain offsets defined by SLADE, otherwise those will take precedence (grAb chunk). Might have to set offsets im images.ddf - i will test your latest version!

Bug #3: Music/sound bug with the pause key. Music returns after unpausing, yet sound is still janky and returns after the map is cleared.

Is this also in 2.0.4? If not, then it is an issue with SDL2 that I am fairly certain I can fix.

Good to hear! I love OPL/adlib music so it turned out very nice

Dynamic lights are getting an overhaul so I will keep you up to date on those. Glad it is working better than previous versions!!

Getting ready to release Test2.

The biggest feature by far is the new Multiplayer submenu, which is called from the Main Menu. It contains spots for Hosting a netgame, Joining a netgame, and starting a Two-Player splitscreen game. I am almost finished with the input responder, which needed more support code, to support the second player. Also, a new option where you can choose Verticle or Horizontal positioning of the split screen.

Other things have been fixed, such as the control assingment code, which has minor layout changes. Also I have expanded upon the PNG code slightly and fixed a major bug with it.

The OPL code has a bug fixed in OPL3 mode as well.

Another huge thing is that we are well on our way to supporting Wolfenstein 3D maps, which uses a custom node builder written by my predecessor, that I converted just for Wolf and ROTT maps. The game is able to detect the WL6 files and go into that mode, and I also wrote Wolf3D DDFs. It is still in alpha and might not be finished anytime soon, but it is there and working

However, I am strongly considering moving completely away from SDL to SFML, which will require yet another rewrite (that was started with the first test), but that is still a ways away for now.

[RUNSABER]

Excited to try this new build, I remember you posting on Doomworld awhile back about a mod called QDOOM2 and it had some cool splitscreen features. This would be great for some old school Ultimate Doom co-op. I guess this means I should start making deathmatch levels to test alongside these, too!

[Corbachu]

Great!

As for Damned and PNG: do the fireball trails have an offset specified in DDFIMAGE? If not, try setting X_ ans Y_ offsets to "0" and see if it fixes the alignment. If not, then I need more support code in grAb.

Also, a new feauture I am working on setting offsets for regular sprite graphics in DDFIMAGE. Reason is becausw Hereric's weapons have a weird offset that was fixed in Herfix.wad, but I am removing reliance on that wad, so for Hererics weapons, they need a custom offset to display correctly.

Having trouble getting Test1 to start on my TOSHIBA:

Delete your EDGE2.cfg and try again. When it loada successfully, then you can edit options in the newly generated configuration.

Deleted the config file, as this time it tried to run in full screen. Here's what I got:

2.04 and the SSE builds work fine, but I'm craving the new interpolation logic to play around with on this new computer. Also, I just installed Runtime essential stuff last night for both x86 and x64.

[Corbachu]

Hmmm...this is pretty strange. Another user had this problem, but it was fixed when the config file was removed..

What does your config file look like?

[Corbachu]

Also, make sure your video drivers are up to date. According to your log, it seems it crashes before it sets up the GL state..

Any luck getting it to work?
