Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
Hugely appreciated , drfrag ! Very much looking forward to it ! Will it be based on ZDoom32 , or will it be a brand new fork ?drfrag wrote:I plan to release a 3.8.0 or 3.8.1 vintage build very soon. I'm working on it.
And then LZDoom 3.8x or something.
I was resposible from the start but Graf started it.

Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
It's still based on an old GZDoom master, same as before, with recent stuff ported to the older codebase. This time with some hackery to make mods compatible.
But there's some missing stuff, due to the old texture manager the localization feature is mostly out. Titles cannot be created from texts, no extended console font, no support for vga/generic fonts and of course no extra lenguages with the new format (russian is partially working with missing console chars). There's still a lot of additional stuff over 3.7.2 tough plus bug fixes.
Edit: the new player menu is also missing.

Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
I recall that this is an issue for people who are stuck back in 32-bit land. AMD only serves driver updates for 64-bit operating systems now and the cutoff point for 32-bit drivers was somewhere in the middle of the "won't display sprites" debacle. You'll need to downgrade to Adrenalin 18.5.1 drivers or upgrade your hardware/OS to fix the issue.

Ugh...
One more nail in the coffin of 32 bit support. It's now short on the JIT compiler, the Vulkan backend PLUS proper AMD support...
Fortunately the number of users on a 32 bit OS is shrinking rapidly.

Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
Work is underway to do a Vintage 3.8 release ASAP. A full update for the Vintage version to 4.0 is unlikely, there's simply too much that has changed to update the old renderer to it - and it's also very likely that this will be the last vintage build.

Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
Is that even possible? I'd need to extend the old texture manager and i'm afraid that's way beyond my skills, hey i'm just a baboon after all. Even then i don't think using the new vga font would make sense in a vintage build. Even merging an older renderer with all the recent refactorings would no be possible i think. Besides that renderer is slow on old hardware. BTW i'm also updating LZDoom but it will be behind the vintage build.Graf Zahl wrote:A full update for the Vintage version to 4.0 is unlikely,

Re: GZDoom 4.0.0 Released
Minor thing, but I noticed that there's no longer any support to show an ENDOOM screen in 4.0.0 as far as I can tell. This makes very miffed as the mod I have posted has an ENDOOM as an easter egg and there's no option to see it in this version.
Could it be possible to add "SHOW ENDOOM" back into this new version?

Your right, I just discovered that. Please disregard my previous statement. I'm an idiot. Thank you!
