Why the old version of PRBoom+?
There should be two windows when you open DRE. The black one is the game screen, which is only for viewing. The other window is the one you use for entering commands. On the Input Line, type 'i'; it should increment one tic and update the other window.
A few tips on how to use it:
* Everything is controlled from the Input Line with text commands. Clicking on the Tic List or any other part of either window has no effect. It's a CLI, not a GUI.
* All commands are case sensitive.
* It's limited to Complevel 2.
* It's based on PRBoom+ v2.2.6.2, so it doesn't have any of the Overflow Emulation of future versions. As such, demos are not 100% guaranteed to play back with v1.9.
* The WalkCam isn't frame-limited. If you have a fast computer, one touch of a turn key will flip you nearly 180 degrees. Example: on my 1.6GHz netbook it runs perfectly; on my 3.2GHz desktop it's virtually useless.
* It has some sync issues. To avoid these, only load one demo per session. Similarly, only set one Save Point per session. If you need to reload or set another Save Point, close the program and restart.
Obviously, it could use some improvements. However, once you get accustomed to the interface, you'll find it becomes pretty easy to use.
