Hideous Destructor 4.10.0b

[Matt]

Spawn state added, at least for HD.

...and the Heretic stuff actually runs after all these years of neglect

[Somagu]

I was thinking that, yeah. Only big problem is that the flasks and vials don't do anything.

(Not asking you to fix them/resume Heretic support, just remarking.)

[Matt]

I've just changed how fraglimits in co-op works.

Now fraglimits <=100 means you restart after you hit that many deaths, while fraglimits >100 mean you wait until everyone's eliminated.

This makes it the same as TDM where <=100 is just a normal fraglimit and >100 is elimination mode.

[Somagu]

So I'll want to change my fraglimit to 103 from 3?

[Matt]

Yes (unless you want to declare defeat and restart the map right after the third death).

Also, I've just changed it so that fraglimit exactly 100 is also elimination mode - use sparingly since spawntelefrags happen.

What's "Synthetic Deities"?

[Silentdarkness12]

Vaecrius doing some gameplay related stuff to Heretic.

[Matt]

Basically trying to do for Heretic what HD does for Doom.

Nowhere near publishably complete, but it is in HD right now and if you run it with Heretic some stuff is still functional.

[Somagu]

Dunno if anything happened recently with the related entities but firing a grenade with the blooper at a Baron caused a memory leak (?) that immediately froze the game and then subsequently locked up my computer entirely (!!!)

[Matt]

I've been getting random memory leak crashes for no reason for as long as I've been using ZScript...

[Somagu]

Duly noted. Guess I'll be quicker to close gzdoom next time heh.

[Matt]

Do let me know if you notice any unequivocal pattern though... even if it's replicable I might not be able to do anything about it, but I could try to hack my way around it or just put a warning in the manual or something.

I'd just like to point out that if you're using the devbuilds, it's a good idea to take the OpenAL DLL from the official 3.1.0 release and replace the one in the devbuild with it. The devbuilds have an outdated OpenAL, and it can cause exactly that. (I've had it happen myself)

[Somagu]

I'm pretty sure I was using 3.1.0 (DLL and all) but I'll keep that in mind for the future, thank you. Is this a thing that can be fixed, or?

[phantombeta]

It can be fixed by replacing the DLL in the devbuilds with the newer one from 3.1.0. For it to be fixed in the devbuild downloads in DRDTeam, the maintainer (Blzut3, I think) has to update the DLL it uses. I've never done automated compilation, so I have no idea whether this is easy or not, or whether it can even be done.
