The official "ZDoom on Wolfenstein 3D" thread. (aka ECWolf)

I don't know if this is a mistake or problem on my end, but every time I assign negative offsets to a sprite using TEXTURES, ECWolf refuses to run.

[Blzut3]

I believe that's another bug fixed in 1.1. ZDoom uses a lax tokenizer for parsing TEXTURES which ECWolf doesn't have so I have to explicity check for negatives where needed.

Found some issues:

Final level of Spear always causes a crash after leaving the first area.

When using a gameplay mod, the ending sequence of certain episodes in Wolf 3D is replaced with a program crash.

Is there anything that prevents using the ZDoom code for ECWolf's equivalent of the [wiki]IWAD selection box[/wiki] on Windows? I know the text interface gives it a certain retro appeal, but still...

[Blzut3]

It's too tangled into the all the other win32 code. I tried extracting it, but it didn't work and given that I have 0 experience with the Win32 API there was basically no hope. Feel free to submit a patch though.

Final level of Spear always causes a crash after leaving the first area.

Already fixed in 1.1

When using a gameplay mod, the ending sequence of certain episodes in Wolf 3D is replaced with a program crash.

What gameplay mod are we talking about?

[SamVision]

Any gameplay mod. I slapped one together that allows for 100 ammo instead of 99 and it crashes.

[Blzut3]

You're going to have to post the mod you're using and specifically what episode endings are crashing.

[SamVision]

Actually nevermind about that, I realized what the problem was, ECWolf did no wrong there.

I'm trying to use CMake to generate a Visual Studio 2008 32-bit project file, but it gives an error and doesn't generate anything.

Here's a screenshot of what errors it shows (click to expand):

I know that SDL is required only for the game to compile...

[Blzut3]

"Could NOT find SDL (missing: SDL_LIBRARY SDL_INCLUDE_DIR)"

You need to fill those in manually. (Wiki)

[printz]

Thank you; I'll read it.

EDIT: CMake worked. Now, the debug dirs all have .dir in their name. Are they placeholders that need to be manually replaced?

EDIT: I found the cause and fixed it. Now it compiles, but quits with a "division by 0" error on startup, inside "void CalcProjection" in "wl_main.cpp".

Quick question, if I'll give player class sprites, will they'll be shown in Class selection menu?

EDIT: No, it doesnt. :/

Looking forward for spawning items based on player class! (And in-game console goddamnit)

You should probably give your player proper sprites and whatnot anyways (forwards compatibility). ECWolf doesn't use them at the moment as you found out.

@printz, I'll have to try compiling the latest version with 2008 once I get some time.

I've noticed that whenever I save in ECWOLF the savefile goes to wherever I ran it from, including shortcuts. Is there anyway to make it save to where the original program is saved or will it always do this?

[Blzut3]

Sounds like something I neglected to check. Please report it in the tracker.
