ZDoom 2.1.0

[Graf Zahl]

This is not a thread to report bugs. Please do it in the proper place so that it doesn't get lost.

EDIT: Never mind. I already fixed it. The check for this was incomplete. I also fixed the hitscan trace issue you mentioned earlier.

[Belial]

Great

[Risen]

Just in time for KDiZD testing! Excellent!

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

WHEEE and ZDL is the official launcher of ZDoom! \o/
I feel so accomplished.

That's because ZDL simply kicks ass. It's definitely made my life easier.

Quite rightly so. Its simplicity, yet powerful functionality provides exactly what most launchers seem not to manage: an easy to use, simple, no nonsense interface that allows you to quickly launch Zdoom (and derivatives) with minumal fuss and yet the full power of the command line is available should a user want it.

Will you be doing anything further with ZDL (if anything needs to be done) now that you are a Linux user, or is version 3.0 the final one?

[Cutmanmike]

I have an occasional nag with ZDL but not as many as other launches had from me. So yeah.

Well I was just going to let it go but now that it's the official launcher I should probably make at least 1 more version so it will be stable and work well. I don't want it to become another "ZDoom Launcher 2.0".

I'll probably write the next one with wxwidgets so I can have a Linux version as well as win32. It already works pretty well with WINE, but loading PWADs is difficult/cumbersome.

It will probably also be open source during the development process so others can test for win32 and KDE stability. Maybe Randy will let me have a peice of SVN for it? (can you even do that with svn?)

[Shadelight]

ZDoom should load as ZDL on startup, heh.

[Enjay]

No it shouldn't, heh.

All he'd need to do is create a new subdirectory and give you access.

[Kaiser]

I see the decorate inventory items from 96x aren't supported..

[Cutmanmike]

You have to use CustomInventory.

Btw, are custom classes in this or is it still being worked on by Grubber?

[Jim]

Graf won't add them until Grubber finishes them.

[clarence144]

Could somebody give me, or direct me to a list of any fancy new commands or cheat codes? I see you can crouch now, interesting.... I like the new drop feature too. And resurrect seems to actually work now.

i586 rpm package compiled with libstdc++.so.6, libFLAC++.so.5, libFLAC.so.7, proper fmod is included. Just `ln -s /C/doom/doom2.wad /usr/share/zdoom/` and you are set.

[Xaser]

Well, this is certainly a surprise! Zen Dynamics seems to work flawlessly in the new build! No more requiring .96x for this baby. Now it will be much easier for non-ZDForum addicts to grab this one when I eventually get around to uploading it to /idgames.

Now, with its June 25th release date, it seems to be quite on time to showcase the new features of 2.1.0 or some such. Hopefully this will make things simpler or some such for everyone, instead of having to figure out which ZDoom version to use.

Bigass thanks to Randy, Graf, and the other awesome programmers for coming up with the coveted official Zdoom release we've all been waiting on!
