Wasn't able to find a launcher that could meet my needs. I use batch files and cfg files for every mod I use. So my approach is modular too, but more complicated.
However, I have a couple of things in autoload due to them being essential and safe to use no matter the combination. Stuff like Sigil, NRFtL, SPFX, Kinsie's Test Maps and etc.

Anyways, thanks as always for your work!

Any plans for Doom Complete compatibility?

Your instructions for the single file version - the one that suggests editing the GLDEFS - are still in the OP, which may lead to confusion as the old single-file version isn't advertised for download. :)

If Doom Complete names sprites differently, which it shouldn't have to... bad luck. Need to see how much effort it would be to rename everything. In general, this should be pretty much already compatible, at least I couldn't see any obvious problems when I tried just now.

Yeah, with Doom Complete and more notoriously Smooth Doom you're going to have to go on a texture hunt and manually update the brightmaps yourself. Compatibility between mods is the gateway into modding.
Still conflicted about Nukage glow, on one hand it ruins a couple maps, on the other hand it was practically made to glow.


Consider this an update; I dunno why but everything magically works again, I'm keeping my iwad-free version handy in-case GZdoom wants to act up again.

I tried Doom Complete and ended with it quickly again after I saw that there are still textures assigned improperly compared to the original, e.g. in Plutona MAP04. And that with the latest version. God knows where else stuff gets confused. Nothing beats the separated iwads regarding reliability.

Sadly none of the brightmaps can be dynamically switched on and off via a menu function since all this happens during GZDoom startup and after that it's fixed. I would like to have options like "nukage glow", "ceiling lights" or even a spritefix/vanilla sprites toggle, but it seems to be technically impossible.

Doom Complete does change names it turns out. I guess I'll do it myself, if I can get it all working I'll post the gldefs here then. There shouldn't be any conflicts so that's nice.

Here's some smooth doom stuff, The Barrel and Bonuses are all Gifty's but the rest were edited in or made myself. It should work as an add-on without any conflicts.

The modular Install is very intuitive BTW.

Also for you Neural Upscale 2x users; you'll want to use sprite-fix for sprites BUT you'll need to delete all the Caco sprite-fix from the .bm (Just search HEAD and keep going down) and you'll also want to take the Vanilla SKULA0 and patch it to the Sprite-fix SKULA0's size (its a little taller, just make a 44x52 image and past the vanilla one in, align it to the buttom and fill in black up top), that'll complete sprites. For textures you'll need to remove iwad (until it gets a proper texturedef so it can work properly).

I get a weird error whenever I load a mod or map with Doom or Doom 2.

Brightmap 'brightmaps/sprites/doom/shtfa0.png' not found in texture 'SHTFA0'
Brightmap 'brightmaps/sprites/doom/shtfb0.png' not found in texture 'SHTFB0'

I tried copying over the brightmaps from the Doom2 into the Doom folder but it still appears.

You are right, the shotgun spritemaps are missing. Time for a fix! (Note: Spritefix version is not affected by this, so no update for bmplus_spritefix.pk3.)

CHANGELOG v1.71 (Apr 3, 2020)
[bmplus_vanilla.pk3] Added missing shotgun brightmaps in Doom
[bmplus_textures.pk3] Added "iwad" flag for lava brightmaps in Heretic

NightFright, I've made a complete set of brightmaps for your perk_enhanced mod (and thus removed them from said mod; it was a wrong idea in hindsight, to bundle that mod with brightmaps, since it's not only out of scope for the mod, but also because there's no way to toggle brightmaps at runtime).

I've attached it here. Whether you want to host this under the Brightmaps Plus project, or under Perk Enhanced, that's really up to you. :) I just provide the content.

Thank you for this mod, sir. Great Job!

I was pretty impressed with the graphical quality of Doomsday, but now I'm definitely sticking with GZDoom after a couple of tweaks and Brightmaps Plus v1.71 :D

Spritefixed brightmaps are for the Sprite Fixing Projects, as it says in the OP that you quoted, by the way.
