@Lucker42 Why don't you mention that switching the preferred renderer to Vulkan in the options might considerably boost framerate even on older graphic cards (starting at Radeon HD 7000 and GeForce 600/700; they are from late 2011/early 2012) in the first post of the thread? With the newest drivers for the given card, it's almost certain it will give top performance available, because the whole Vulkan been configured for performance, and GZDoom readily adopts new Vulkan improvements the moment they happen.
I used the Toaster Mod, disabled options to get performance, and no results.
Unfortunately here in my low end machine i can't run GZDoom. I get the "you don't have OpenGL 3.3..." message.
And if i try GZDoom 3.7.1 (any version), or my fps drop a lot playing vanilla Doom or i can't run.
EDIT: I get the OpenGL 3.3 message same in GZDoom 3.7.1
You can start GZDoom v4.8.2 in Vulkan API rendering mode right away by adding "+vid_preferbackend 1" to it in the command line. However, I don't know where it should go in the launcher for DoomRPG. Maybe @lucker42 will know where.

Hi! Oh, ok!
EDIT: I try in custom command but same message about OpenGL 3.3. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

I haven't tested it, so I can't say anything about it.

I decided to wrap those medicals' sprites up today. This time I paid attention to as many details as possible and even made the properly aligned brightmaps with the fake grayscale instead of just white that somehow "spills" onto the neighboring pixels with their base blended color when I have anti aliasing enabled. Additionally, the medical collection now has rivets, clasps, and buckles, hah. I tweaked the base Doom's stimpack and medikit too, so please use their sprites as well (including their brightmaps), if anything; otherwise my neurosis gonna activate and I will get hostile towards nearby livestock and fish.
Since the quota crap is still on, I will only leave the link to the archive with the stuff:

Update 1.30e:
- added
Pandemonia Monsters v2.2 compatibility (thanks to Ron Dallas).
The last buld can be downloading from the link in the top thread.
I'll see what I can do about that in my spare time.

Lol, just kidding. If you don't want to use them or only use selectively, then it's OK either; after all, I can simply make them into a new package to load with the other mods for my personal use.
EDIT: Also, I noticed that
many some brightmaps in the new folder for them in this modification don't have offset set like normal sprites and it's apparent they don't work without that (based on my tests). Just a heads up.

Hi.
Please lucker, see if is possible release an update for performance for low end machines.
Here i don't have Vulkan or OpenGL 3.3 to play with GZDoom.
I'm not the only one having fps drops.
If i have knowledge to create an engine, my idea is create like a GZDoom, working like an Zandronum for low end machines and compatible with all and future mods for Doom.
Anyway, congratulations for this new update and congratulations everyone working in this mod

Thank you for the amazing effort put into this. I really enjoy playing it with big mapsets like a real RPG, teleporting between levels.

I know this is a noob question but how do I use the inventory bar? I cant find the bind for it anywhere in keybinds. Cant figure out how to use armor and items.

The standard keys from doom are used to interact with the inventory. They are "[" , "]" , "ENTER". Or others that you set up in the standard control configuration menu.
However, there is an exception, there is a Drop Item button for weapons and armor from DRLA. This you need to go to DoomRL Options - > DRLA Controls - > Drop Item.

In the last update there were some edits in favor of optimization. If I get a chance, I will definitely try to optimize this as best I can.

Is there any way I can modify the amount of credits dropped by monsters? I just feel its way too low and I dont want to bother you guys who are already busy bug fixing and bringing in new content.

I'm so glad to hear this

!
Because like i said, DoomRPG is my most favorite of all Doom mods.
Have everything i can think to a complete Doom experience and is the only mod i know is like an roguelike RPG of Doom.
This is the why i'm sad to see performance dropping in low end machines.
But i know, the big percentage of players have an Core i3 or superior.
This is the why i'm happy to see you will see possibilities to expand the performance.
Really thanks

Is it possible to make an option where you go to the outpost after completing a level and using the teleporter to select the next level? Because I think whenever I leave the level for the outpost and come back to the level, the Corruption Card effect disappears.
There is currently no such feature in the game. Only load a level and return to the Outpost. Is there a card selection going on?

I have 2 issues, and would appreciate anyone's help:
-There doesn't seem to be any HP/armor/weapon/ammo stats on the HUD, I've browsed through a ton of options, but there doesn't seem to be any to enable this, am I missing something?
-PDA mouse movement doesn't seem to work, the cursor is just stuck, even though the message on the main menu says that this specific patch fixed that misbehavior.
1) Is the scale of the HUD sure it's okay? Try pressing "+" or "-"
2) Try changing the mouse settings in the options. particularly freelook
There's no card selection upon returning to the level from the outpost.

Type "ccards_allowreturnmaps true" into console. CMM recently added a cvar for this. It's off by default, though.

Alright. This can also be changed in DoomRPG -> Corruption Cards Option (this is the same CVar).
