The code is there. But before I activate it I need at least 2 days to integrate it into ZDoom's ExtraFloor_LightOnly code. As long as these 2 are incompatible I still have reservations.

We already know it. :wink:

Is it in the source now? :)

Not yet. The code is currently not compiled in.

This'll be very helpful, you have no idea. :)

I had to wait until Randy gave his ok - which he recently did.

The code is in but I'm not sure if it should be activated for the next official release. Currently it's #ifdef'd out.

Indeed, I'm quite comfortable on 320x200 or 640x400 these days.

I wonder if MESA's GL software renderer would be of any use. If you can turn off all resource-intensive GZDoom options, and maybe if Graf can put in special options to restrict certain normally-inconsequential GL options (eg. glHint(..., GL_FASTEST); instead of GL_NICEST), perhaps it could work. Though I'm not sure how good MESA's software renderer really is, or what kind of CPU you'd need to get useable frame rates. But don't be afraid to go below 1024x768. :P

I'm not asking any developer here to do it. I'm only claiming that it is remotely possible, if unlikely, that someday someone who is half as good a coder as Graf or Randy (those two being great coders) but has a piss poor computer and wants polymost or 3d floors will come along and fork ZDoom or GZDoom to have these features in software mode.

If you want to play Doom with Quake's renderer use Vavoom. But please don't complain about the experience not being Doom anymore. :mrgreen:

I did not say it was easy or it would be likely that anyone did it, I just said that there is a reason to do it.
And what's stopping you from putting "everything [else] about ZDoom" into Quake?
Nothing besides the fact that Quake is missing a lot more of these good features, but it's really the same. I bet Quake has individuals just like you, who will say "Go play ZDoom" when you start talking about these features being inserted.
