Tempting as it may be to replace it, let's not forget that the main shader is a core element of engine code. Allowing to replace that would make this piece of code off-limits to engine improvements and that's not a good idea because it'd mean there'd be no more rendering features.

One of the biggest is that it will prevent moving forward with the Vulkan backend interface, when that gets implemented.

I don't think GZDoom currently supports custom shaders for a variety of reasons.

Well, the arroy Keys bind are still there, the wasd are just a plus :p

what if the pk3 file is with a modified gzdoom file? I have an wip iwad that will do that on the future, it'll be packed with a modified gzdoom file + pk3 (no install required).
Why a modified gzdoom file? well because custom shaders and some default hotkeys changed so newbies will feel in home with the default wasd and other stuff.

ON: Even normal antivírus thinks gzdoom is a vírus sometiems :B

In that case, unless the developer himself comes back to offer a stand-alone .pk3, I am going to close this outright.

For now I will leave it open so someone can use this opportunity to try and get in touch with him and see if we can arrange something for the community.

Normally I'd say that question should be pointed to the developer, but since his account here is deactivated, I take that as a sign that he has not visited in a very long time.

Me too. And in this day and age, an unnecessary exe auto-makes me wonder what might be coming along with the exe.

As a developer, I still prefer raw .pk3 files to full .exe installs. I don't have any idea why anyone would not at least offer the option, and that really bugs me.

Good, something less to worry about, then.

For information, Avira Virus Lab has now tested the launcher file and now classifies it as "clean".

Oh, sorry, and thanks - Careless, I forgot to search for original threads - My bad, sorry. :|

For the sake of completeness, I would have to think it would have been proper to at least link to the game's forum thread.
