Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Sorry to bother you!
Grand. I knew there would be an easy solution for this one. ^^

Version 5.2.1 released

Post by NightFright »

A hotfix was needed since using the mod with Hexen made GZDoom crash. Looks like I optimized the code a bit too much and removed a few brackets which should have remained in place. Also, I shouldn't have only tested this with Doom before release, I guess. Sorry, guys!

CHANGELOG
[DOOM] Split status bar: Widescreen support for "Eviternity II"
[HEXEN] Code fix to resolve mod crash (unsplit.zs)

Looks like it doesn't work with Blasphemer (though it works with Heretic).

Because it is not supported. Quote from the OP:
Fullscreen statusbars for Doom, Freedoom, Chex, HacX, Harmony, Heretic and Hexen
Reasons:
1) The statusbars for Heretic and Hexen work differently compared to the ones for Doom. Original graphics are not reused and cut, but new ones have to be created from scratch. New graphics and code would be required which I am unable to provide.
2) Personally, I consider Blasphemer exotic and in a rough state (other than Freedoom, which is sort of known and much better maintained) and don't see any considerable demand for supporting it.
3) Also, as it was previously emphasized, this project has entered maintenance mode and is unlikely to receive major new features at this point.

Should someone ever come up with something and put it as a pull request on Github, I could look at it and tweak it. More is simply not possible.

Edit: currently as a workaround i run Blasphemer as a PWAD on top of Heretic.

Frankly spoken, the current Blasphemer statusbar is also ugly AF. I doubt it's final and will most likely be replaced eventually.
