Very good! Now the function is working perfectly! Thank you very much!

[Mr.Rocket]

Nice!

I'm not sure which previous version I was using last but OMG, it seems the FPS is now super fast when running a demo, compared to said unknown version.

Is it now uncapped? it sure seems like it in this current version.

 

Thanks!

@Mr.Rocket

Thanks for the reply!
Demo seems to work for me. It runs super-fast only when -timedemo is used.

[Mr.Rocket]

Sorry about that, that's what I meant, when running a -timedemo, it seems 2 to 3 times faster than previous versions.

 

EDIT: Yeah, testing with 1.2f I get around 570-ish FPS, but when testing with the new 2.0c I get around 780-ish FPS. ;)

~ testing in windowed mode 640x400, Doom.wad -timedemo demo1 

 

There's nothing wrong with this, in fact it's pretty kickass. 

Could it be the move to Silk and .NET 7?

@Mr.Rocket

If I remember correctly, the Silk.NET version has been fast since it was .NET 6, so I think Silk.NET is the main factor.

I don't know much about low-level rendering so I can't be sure, but I think it's because Silk.NET uses a more modern version of OpenGL.

This is really impressive work. As someone who is most comfortable with C# it's really awesome to have a Doom source port I can just play around with. I'm genuinely really grateful. I had often thought about doing something like this myself over the years, but for one reason or another could never commit to it.

 

I provide the following dumb thing I cooked up while messing around with the managed doom source https://github.com/scfinniss/managed-doom/releases

This will pick a random level when you start a new game (episode selection is skipped for Ultimate Doom), when you die or when you complete a level.

 

Now to think about what other cursed things I can do...

Interesting approach! curiously, how do achieve the randomness? Do you use Obsidian or Oblige or something custom to manage this?

[Siggi]

Haha, no. Not randomly generated levels, although I'd love that.

 

It's just randomizing the level order.

 

edit: but this does give me an idea

@Siggi

Nice!

 

One reason I created this port was because I wanted a codebase that was easy to compile and fun to modify.

It's nice that you have fun modifying this port.

One of the things I like about C# is that it's less likely to cause problems during the build process.

[Siggi]

Yeah for sure, getting the code up and running was trivial. Worked right out of the box.

Ah i see, my bad! With Random, i assumed you are generating a random level. There are a few ports that do this, one uses Slige and BSP as a submodule so it generates a new level at level start, and the other uses Oblige.

Implementing frame interpolation for smoother game play...

 

 

Edited June 16, 2023 by Sinshu

I've released Managed Doom v2.1a.

The major change in this version is the implementation of frame interpolation.

As a result, the rendering of the game screen will become smoother than 35 FPS 😁

Love this port, someone please make a network model for this..
