GZDoom = ZDoom + OpenGL + 3D floors

[Graf Zahl]

Could you try the test version in this link?

http://forum.drdteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=255&start=30

I did some changes to the GL startup code that might help.

What kind of graphics card do you have?

Which brings to mind, how much of FS are you going to incorporate into GZDoom? I imagine only a basic set, with ACS doing the rest (although there are some nice legacy functions (although not in the current release) I wouldn't mind seeing in your port).

Since I have done some minor work with an old Eternity version of FS I started from there. With the exception of the inventory function it's mostly adjusting the data organisation. It's a lot of work but nothing complicated. The inventory code is the biggest issue because ZDoom uses a totally incompatible system to handle it.

When I'm done with that I'll add all required Legacy-only functions which fortunately isn't that much. The one thing I won't support for now are HUD pics (because I have nothing to test them with.)

[Dr. Zin]

Yes! That version works!



Here is the log. My card is a (32 mb) ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra.

There's this eternal question, why do you people always and I mean always make a new port, why cant you just cooperate and work together and bring this to zdoom? isn't it best to forget all the pride involved (goes for all people) to create one great port? Do you know what you could archieve together! This is a nice thingy but I sure would prefer to see it in the official zdoom.

Idealism. I like it.

Most programmers I know are individuals and work in a team of one. Especially when its your part time project. Its not a bad thing, just a fact.

Idealism is good for yourself but never for others as they will surely never live up to it. It's not "bad" but its not always a strength to not work in teams...

[Graf Zahl]

Would you have liked to not have it?

[DarkknightXC]

Oh yeah: the last thing you do to a programmer who has completed a shedload of work is to point out something that questions his work and makes you sound ungrateful. Sure-fire way to upset the natives. (I would upset me no end :).

[Kinkyfriend]

I dont want you to get me wrong, sorry if it has seemed as such, I think it seems great this project and I am thankful for your time that you commit upon mortals as me and myself :) Anyhow I was just saying that it's a pity that people just can't work together rather than against- or on the side of each other. Oh well keep up the good work dude.

[Udderdude]

Works great with Heretic/Hexen. Daddy likes :O

[Hobbs]

The reason this is not in ZDoom is because Randy doesn't want it there, or if he does, refuses to say jack shit about putting it in. And I believe hes the one that has the final say in the matter.

[Scuba Steve]

I too prefer it out of ZDoom.

Just wonder when his pride is not considered over what would be best to do :/

[Lvangundy]

How could "screenshots" be under construction? Just put one up there!

[Graf Zahl]

Better? ;)

[z34chris]

Has anyone created a GZDoom configuration file for wadauthor? I have already put one together but the only additions are the RGB light source and the textured poly bridges since these seem to be some of the major effects.

Chris

[Graf Zahl]

Currently the only things you can set in a configuration file are the lights and the 3D-floors. Everything else concerns things you do in separate text lumps (like DECORATE.)


The only other thing is sector type '196: Heals player' but that's also available in ZDoom 2.0.97 and up.

[Liberation]

WOW this sounds great!!! im going to convert napalm over to this i think.

I attempted one, but failed miserably. Copying chunks of Legacy.wcf into ZDoom.wcf doesn't quite work, heh.

[Graf Zahl]

DooMAD said:

Of course not. That's because Legacy's line types don't exist in Hexen format. All the 3D-floor stuff is done with line type 160:

Sector_Set3DFloor(tag, type, flags, alpha)

But since I have no experience with WadAuthor configs someone else has to add it to the ZDoom config and post it here.

[z34chris]

Shall I post the one that I have? It is just the zdoom config with the RGB light source and the 3D bridge effects added. BTW, where would one post such a config file anyway?

Chris

[Graf Zahl]

If you send it to me by email I post it in the downloads section.

[Koko Ricky]

I don't know anything about doom editing, but the addition of 3-D floors will add a whole new dimension of detail and imagination to future Doom wads. I'm definitely excited about this. I think we'll see some VERY interesting projects in the next couple of years. By the way, if this incorporates the GL version of Zdoom, why do the screenshots on the site not contain texture filtering?

[Graf Zahl]

GoatLord said:

Because the person who did them (not me!) thinks that texture filtering sucks. It's an option after all.

[Quasar]

Not that I at all mind you using old Eternity code -- please do -- but also please remember that it is under the GPL and not the BSD license ;)

[Graf Zahl]

So, is there any solution for this dilemma (aside from taking the code out again?)

[Quasar]

If you're referring to my post, I don't think there has to be a dilemma, I was just reminding you kindly to keep the license on that code intact. Even I can't grant permission to change it, since I don't own all the code in there :) If SoM and fraggle both agreed, I'd be fine with it being changed to LGPL if you're personally worried about combining GPL and BSD code. I'm not, personally, as long as the code is open source and still has my name in it somewhere, I'm happy ^_^

Ok, that sounds better. Don't worry. I leave the copyright and license intact. I really see no reason to change stuff like that in code I didn't write myself. I consider that very bad style.

[deep]

Actually you can not mix incompatible licenses :)

That's why RH limited it to the lowest common denominator - although he violated this a tiny bit with some minor code and more severely with his homegrown licensing. The lowest in this case being RAVEN and BUILD and the original DOOM license (not the later one).

So if you use something like GPL (or similar), it actually can't safely reside in the -same work- considered as a -whole-. IOW, it's not enforceable and technically illegal.

[Graf Zahl]

If someone who was involved in developing that code tells me to take it out I'll take it out.

On the other hand we all know that by that reasoning most source ports are in some way illegal, don't we?
