GZDoom 3.1.0 Released

[Graf Zahl]

Although this is mainly a bugfix release there are a few notable new features

• support of Strife Veteran Edition's extended single player campaign
• better handling of stereo sounds.
• PlayerThink code has been exported to scripting.
• On Windows and macOS the system's MIDI synth is no longer the default. Instead, FluidSynth and a small soundfont are now included to provide better default playback quality.

Notable bugfixes:

• translucency on weapon sprites works properly
• some layout fixes with SBARINFO based status bars.
• fixed par time display on level summary screen.
• fixed loop tag checks for Ogg files.

Download:

• removed

Sorry for the inconvenience but it looks the wrong gzdoom.pk3 got in.

Any word on official updated OpenAL DLLs so that mods with stereo weapon sounds can behave like FMod again?

[Graf Zahl]

[*] better handling of stereo sounds.

Doesn't that cover it?

[Nash]

Sorry, I read too fast. -____- Thank you! I hope the devbuilds will follow suit. It would be SUPER inconvenient if the devbuilds would overwrite the fixed DLLs and we get fake reports that the stereo sound doesn't work.

I know this is going to happen because generic users aren't really in-the-know and would just extract all and overwrite their files whenever they download devbuilds...

[I posted about this three times in the devbuild thread with no response...]

Blzut3 said it would be about a week or two before he could fix it.

Oh no I'm too late Sweet!

...can someone please update the git to show this as the latest release?

Well - I guess that's another day where I can't be lazy.

Nevertheless, updated, just for you.

[Graf Zahl]

I wonder if this file updating thing can be automated somewhat.

I found bug! Switch with action 183 in boom: doom2 configuration (Crusher Start (fast)) is not playing switch animation.
p.s.: sorry for my bad English.

Can you make a proper bug report at the bug forum? -> viewforum.php?f=2

support of Strife Veteran Edition's extended single player campaign

Do we have some information (didn't find this on the wiki), how to do this? Or just simple "-iwad strife1.wad -file voices.wad sve.wad" ?

fixed loop tag checks for Ogg files

Tried on my mod:

2.4.0: 45 seconds to load a level
3.0.0: approx 3 minutes to load a level
3.0.1: 1 minute to load a level

So now ogg load time is very close to 2.4.0, big thanks for those fixes!
