Will there be an official GZDoom release to coincide with ZDoom 2.6.0?

There already is, but...

I tried this link, but it wouldn't work:

http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom ... -1-6-0.zip

I even tried:

http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom ... -1.6.0.zip

EDIT: Never mind. http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom ... 1-6-00.zip did the trick.

Been living under a rock for a while now. I did hear that 3D floors could someday make their way into software but I didn't know it was this close to the present :)
Legacy had them 10 years ago, sort of ;-)

So?
GZDoom had them for 7 years, sort of. Means nothing in this context.

Given that people are bitching about GZDoom not being lightning-fast on their 3DFX Voodoo 2 from 1997; I can't imagine anyone being happy with Polymer, the rendering engine that requires a Pixar render farm to play vanilla Duke Nukem 3D levels.

I'd be happy with Polymost for ZDooM. Shame it's abandoned. :(

Actually for me the dynamic lights is not the problem and yes the sectors render (i can render +- 200 dynamic lights at 30fps) but larger sector maps like the ghouls forest 3 i got 24fps =/
For duke 3D just a TC is good =D

EDIT:at gzdoom render, on software i think i got 240fps on GF3

It is really nice to see an update after all this time! There are some really nice features that we – the mappers – have been longing for. Much appreciated, devs! :ugeek:

Gotta blow the dust off from my good old Doom Builder and start building some new maps again. Maybe this time I'll actually get one finished product.
