Wolfenstein 3D TC 3.0 w/ GZDoom question

[blazeddd]

Trying to get Wolfenstein 3d tc working with gzdoom because I really like the automap a lot better than ECWolf version but trying to figure out how to stretch the screen while keeping the original hud.

I can get it working with DOOM wads but not Wolf3D TC.

Here are some screenshots to better explain:

If you are pulling the version of the TC from GitHub, then you cannot.

I'll probably add a menu/cvar toggle to let you control the border aspect ratio eventually, but... no idea when that will happen.

Ah dang, ok thanks for letting me know.

Is there be a different version of TC that would allow it?

Pull the latest from the GitHub site.

I just added a new cvar ('g_borderstyle') and menu entry that lets you toggle between the traditional 4:3 border style, a version that scales to the width of the window like the standard GZDoom border, and a minimal version like you could already see on the automap screen.

Awesome!! Thank you so much!

Just 2 small things -

Control and Change View options seem to be broken for me, here are some pictures:

and before, I couldn't use the older github version with GZDoom4.8.2 as I would get this error:

Code: Select all

Script error, "Wolf3D-TC-3.0-master.pk3:scripts/classicstats.txt" line 430:
Can't call play function GetLivesPlay from ui context
Script error, "Wolf3D-TC-3.0-master.pk3:scripts/classicstats.txt" line 459:
Can't call play function GiveInventory from ui context
Script error, "Wolf3D-TC-3.0-master.pk3:scripts/classicstats.txt" line 461:
Can't call play function CheckLifeAmount from ui context
Script error, "Wolf3D-TC-3.0-master.pk3:scripts/classicstats.txt" line 464:
Can't call play function GetLivesPlay from ui context

so I switched to GZDoom4.7.1 but now with the new github version and 4.7.1, I get this error:

Code: Select all

Script error, "Wolf3D-TC-3.0-master.pk3:scripts/classicstats.zs" line 434:
Can't call ui function GetLives from play context (not readable)

So I used the new github version with 4.8.2 and everything is fine except for the Control/Change View menu options.


Either way, it's all good for me because I already had customized what I needed to with the older version and just used g_borderstyle set to 2 through console but just wanted to post what errors/issues were popping up in case it helps.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this... such a small change makes such a huge difference for me! Thank you!!!

No worries... I hope you enjoy it! I have a bunch of things that I've been meaning to finish up on this for along time now.

The menu revamp is a work in progress that I have never finished (and that needs to be re-thought, I think)... Would you mind sharing your screen resolution and scaling settings?

Yeah man, it's been so fun revisiting my childhood with really great improvements too!
What other things are you planning on finishing up btw?

On my PC, which has the menu issue, it’s at 4K / 3840x2160

I also copied it over to my Steam Deck, so same exact config but resolution is limited to 1280x800 and the menu works perfect so it does seem to be related to resolution I think.

As scaling, I can't confirm on my PC but on my Deck it's on 1.0 which was just a straight copy from my PC so should be the same. I don't think I ever changed that setting. Would there be a cvar I could check in console maybe?

Thanks! Looks like I need to re-check my menu text position and scaling calculations.

Most everything that still needs to be added is for Spear of Destiny. I need to add a clean way to pick/access SoD and the level packs, figure out how to implement SoD-style menus without recreating every menu entry, and re-add the SoD finale screens. Plus handling for separate high score screens/cvars.

There's also a bug with lives not being reset/set properly when you start a new game.

Oh interesting, sounds good! This is definitely the best way of playing Wolfenstein 3D, thank you for all your hard work!
