ZDoom

Let's assume I have a TC, and I want to reinvent the wheel by writing custom menu code from scratch* without using MENUDEF**. At first everything is going fine, because GZDoom gives you an access to the 2D drawing routines, mouse/keyboard/joystick input, etc. But then I need a "Quit" option in the ...

I've been following development of this project, but still held myself from playing it until release.
So, it's about damn time.

@Gifty, thanks for the update and especially for fixing this shotgun issue. =) Are you still in the way of merging Smooth Doom with Dead Marine? Because I loved the latter a lot , and I'm still looking forward to the single ultimate package. Also, the topic title still says "UPDATE 6/15/19".

While in '00s I was playing PSX version of the game, this TC still feels pretty authentic (although with somewhat different level layout) and brings back memories. :')

I hope someday we'll see the proper muzzle flashes for the Quake 2 weapons. %)

Discussion: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65943 Not yet sure, if this is a feature request or a bug report, but in any case there's no proper option to control scaling/stretching of active weapon's HUD sprite*, which could help to prevent that 1:1.2 aspect ratio correction. Or HUD ...

I know this is not quite related to the topic, but just in case I recommend to pay attention to the reverb settings, which can improve distant sound quite a lot.

Not only the BFG ball, but pretty much every round thing and projectile, and it's getting much more visible in various mods, where the creators didn't bother to scale their assets according to the aspect ratio correction. (Also, it's just getting on my nerves, when my precious sprites are being ...

I think the reason is that it's a standard among all other source ports and all players and modders are expecting this behavior. Otherwise, there will be a lot of bug reports that GZDoom doesn't look like PrBoom, EDGE, Zandronum, ZDoom, Vavoom, Eternity and that everything's squished / doesn't look ...

Well, thanks, but I'm already aware of why (and how) the image is being stretched. :) Point of this thread is a little bit more "abstract": what's the reason of keeping this behavior? I mean, I don't think that GZDoom is still targeting to be visually comparable to vanilla Doom (see above).

Question to the developers: is there any reason to keep this 1:1.2 aspect ratio as of today, given the fact that GZDoom already became a completely modern source port, which uses shaders, supports Vulkan, has no 320x200 video mode, etc.? To illustrate the problem: This is the default aspect ratio ...

Or maybe something more universal, like: Model PLSG { Path "Models/Blah" Model 0 "Blah.md3" FrameIndex A 0 0 ... etc. } ? Yeah, yeah, compatibility. :blergh: We already have global/shared/whatever definitions inside the TEXTURES lump, but why not in the MODELDEF?

Hellbound also works pretty well with this mod.

Oh, we got the customizable colors! Thanks. <3

Same here. It lacks some "punchiness" and feels pretty weak audiovisually (just like in the Doom 3).

There are another three bugs with the dual wielded magnums if there's no ammo left in the both magazines: 1. They cannot be reloaded; 2. They cannot be switched back to the single wield mode (well, they can, but only by switching to another weapon); 3. The right magnum is not shooting in the ...
