Doom Runner (yet another graphical Doom launcher)

[mamaluigisbagel]

The first problem could just be me not paying attention, so I'll write it off. As for the second (the mod becoming the separator) I move the separator up past a mod using the up arrow key, and then click another preset in the preset list. Once I click on the previous preset I just moved a separator in, the bug occurs.

EDIT: Adding a gif to make it clearer.

Thank you, i found it and fixed it.

Hi guys, 1.6 has been released.

Most relevant changes are:

• Audio and Video options have been moved to a new tab to allow shrinking the launcher for smaller resolution monitors.
• Re-enabled Gameplay options and Compatibility options for Standard (Default) launch mode.
• Added possibility to display the engine's standard output and process state.
• Added possibility to export a preset into a file shortcut on Windows.
• Added ability to automatically use preset name as a directory for saves and screenshots.
• Added "Show FPS" checkbox to Video options.
• Added an option to select a compatibility level for ZDoom and PrBoom based engines.
• Added support for more non-ZDoom engines with ability to manually select source port family.

This is probably the last bigger feature release. I consider this project successfully finished. After this, i'm going to do only bug-fixes and minor improvements, and maybe a very simple feature from time to time. Of course there is still infinite number of ideas for possible next improvements and features, but it really costs a lot of time and life energy and i had to draw a line somewhere. Hopefully you will find it useful even at the current state.

This release is the best one yet. Finally there's a proper way to add complevel settings without having to add them manually!

I can see my requested Master Levels support didn't make the cut this time, but I hope it'll still get added even though adding features is basically done.

For some reason it won't save any of the info I put in and makes me do the initial setup each time. This didn't happen with any prior releases. Do you know what might be causing this? Do you need any info from me to help diagnose it?

Version 1.6.1 is out. My personal highlight: support for Master Levels (including unofficial ones)!

My fault. It was fixed in 1.6.2. Sorry about that.

Hello guys. I implemented an experimental feature and i would like to hear your opinions first before releasing it to the public.

Previously you could control where some of the options get saved (into a preset or for the whole launcher) via this setting

but with this you can only chose it for all of the options on the second tab together, so if you wanted for example to have different compatibility level for each preset, you had to then set gameplay options also for each preset.

The new mechanism makes this choice more granular and allows to select it for each of the option groups separately. Here's an example:


Would this improve the experience for you or is it becomming too complicated?
And would you like to also choose storage for the Output Options or it makes no sense there?

I don't think it would be too complicated (although I have a bias towards being more tolerant of complexity). Being able to change output options per-preset would be useful for me, at least, because I have certain development presets in which I disable music. It would also be a pretty good place to put an option that adds the `-norun` launch argument for when I just want to check that my code successfully compiles.

Hi, thank you for continuing to update this launcher. It's been my launcher of choice lately. :)

[NightFright]

I have tried many launchers, and for me this is the best one. As simple as that.

GZDoom 4.9.0 was updated to use the user's folders for saves and screenshots, should Doom Runner be updated to recognize that?

Hm, this is a problem. There is no easy way to recognize the version of GZDoom, and there are many people (including me) who use older version of GZDoom for various reasons, so i can't just change the behaviour for every GZDoom across the board.
However there is an easy workaround for you. If you go to Initial Setup and double-click on engine, you can manually modify the Config dir to point to AppData or whatever is the new location.

[NightFright]

You can always point DR to a specific config in the "Files" tab. For me, basically nothing changed.

Created an account just to ask - is it possible to make this launcher operational on the Steam Deck? ZDL is the one that works the best so far (and it does a serviceable job) but something with a more fleshed out GUI would be so nice.
