Another GADoom Release

[Enjay]

Spent a whole bunch of time trying to fix the conflict between firetypes and some dehacked patches. The process was aggravating, annoying and tedious (thanks Enjay )

Heh. OK, all my weapons work now. However, just to keep you on your toes, there is a new weapons bug (at least I didn't notice it before). When you fire the rocket launcher, there is a momentary pause. This happens with or without the weapons deh loaded. It's most noticable if you are moving (strafing seems to show it up really well, but it is there all the time as far as I can tell). So, strafe and fire the RL. If you get the same problem, you should notice a brief hiccup as you do so. This is on a 3GHz machine, so it really shouldn't be a processing spedd issue.

What is this one based on?

[Enjay]

Still on 48.

[GameArena]

That sounds much more like a problem with Zdoom 48, because I haven't done anything to alter the rocket firing methods, really the only thing I've add to the rockets is the ability to shoot them down. I'll definitely check it out though. This week if I have a chance I'll try to "port" it to 59, but it's going to be one heck of a experience . Now for something completely different, I've uploaded a new version of GADoom, this time fixing a lot of the footstep issues and also adding some new features to terrain lump parsing. You can download the new version at http://modarchive.gnlive.com/files/gadoom.zip .

Here's the short changelog:

Version 1.0.0.3-

*Added: New terrain type of "texture", it's used just like floor but allows some of the terrain type changes to take effect on walls using the texture as well as floors. However, you can't have the same texture pointing to two different terrain definitions, therefor you can't use:

floor grass1 soft
texture grass1 soft2

If you were to use that, the texture definition would override the floor definition. Basically "texture" is the same as "floor", except it automatically sets the new terrain "allowwall" value to true. You'll get the same result by setting "allowwall true" in a floor definition. Currently the only change inflicted on walls is the puffcolor value.

*Added: While working with the terrain parsers, I added a new property for terrains. You may use puffcolor (which takes and RGB value) to set the color of puff emitted when the terrain type is shot. The value must have 9 digits, for example, green would be 000255000.

*Fixed: Footsteps not always working correctly with Terrain lumps.

*Fixed: Some of the original splash code was not written correctly and it allowed for splashes from things that should not splash.

[Enjay]

That sounds much more like a problem with Zdoom 48.

Nope. Just re-installed 48 and it worked fine with respect to firing rockets.

Also, just noticed (this is with the new ver) if I load my big floor sound mod, GADoom crashes on startup, giving a WinXP error message, rather than the full blown Zdoom style error report. There could be a problem with it though. I can send it if you want.

[GameArena]

Sure if you send it over I'll take a look at it. I'm fixing the rocket bug also.

[Enjay]

OK, file sent. Let's hope it gets through to your account this time.

[GameArena]

It did get to my inbox and I managed to fix the problem by looking at it. You had gone over the individual footstep limit (I didn't think that would ever happen), so I took the liberty to make footstep definitions infinite (or at least a very very very high maximum number). I also fixed the rocket bug and some other small bugs and right now I don't think there are any bugs introduced by me anymore. So any feature requests are welcome

Changes:

Version 1.0.0.3b-

*Improved: Now unlimitted enviroment footstep declarations can be defined with Mod Files.

*Improved: Terrain types of "texture" or types that have allowwall set to true, will now use the splash sounds on both floors and walls.

*Fixed: Crashing when exceding 64 different footstep definitions via Mod Files.

*Fixed: Rockets causing slowdown upon firing.

*Fixed: Mod File parsers would incorrectly read the first line as a comment.

Can you keep the list of changes you keep writing on this message board as a text file that is in the main GADoom zip? It would be really useful as that is all the good and juicy info that we need. It coiuld get really bad if you forget what you have done and it woud take ages to improve the documentation, like something else out there...

[Enjay]

I haven't DL'd the latest version yet (won't do 'til I get home from work) but at least one recent version had a file changes.txt in it that had all the stuff that has been posted. Of course, I'd been keeping my own version up to date anyway.

[GameArena]

All of the releases have changes.txt stored in the zip files, and it's always up tp date with each release (even the small ones), I've got a little bit of documentation concerning Mod Files already written and it may be included sometime soon here also. If Enjay ever plans to work on Marine Assualt 2 *hopeful*, I've got lots of stuff I could incorperate that could be useful to him

[Lexus Alyus]

Mmmm, I think GA Doom should be called NJ Doom . But, yeah, that's cool. I've been lazy so I honestly couldn't tell you what my opinion is, but from what I can see (and you even included blood colour! ) I'm gonna use it... I'll probably mix and match between Zdoom . I think Game Arena and Randy should team up, that way things will be done a lot faster and it wouldn't be too much of a strain on Randy, cus it must be really hard work for him...

[Hirogen2]

1.0.0.2 hung for me. Maybe it was just "winoldap", the MSDOS console. (I start it from there rather than Start/Run)

[Enjay]

Interesting. When I run GADoom with a mod file, I can play the game. If I just double click the exe, I get a crash whenever I try and press any movement key.

Also, if I try my foot sounds mod, all I seem to achieve is removing the default footsteps from the specified flats. However, that could be my fault - still looking into that one. It seems OK with one or two flats redefined, but not the big mod. I'll have to check sound names and so on though.

Oh, and a crash report for you in case it helps.

What is a Mod file?

How can you play custom WADs off of GADooM?
