PrBoom 2.1.0 Released

After a long, erm, pause in development, PrBoom v2.1.0 has been released over on the PrBoom homepage. This release is the result of the merger between PrBoom, LxDoom and lSDLDoom. While you should go look at the website for the list of features, this version of PrBoom, notably, greatlyimproves compatibility with original Doom levels and demos. Almost all original demos, and all MBF demos (included the Tools Assisted Speedrun demos) work. The Linux RPM and the Windows ZIP are now available, and the source will follow shortly (BUT IT'S GPL! OH NO CALL THE FSF!). For those of you not in the know, PrBoom originally was simply the Win32 version of Boom, but now it has become so, so much more.

their database is a little screwy.

MBF demos at 800x600... tasty.

That's I'm waiting for....

W00p finally windows users get to taste the delights too.

Uhh, the sound stutters...but speed
at 1600 x 1200 is OK ;-)

you can get the sources out of cvs if you need them, anyway. no GPL violation.

MBF demos at high-res? Wasn't the point
behind MBF to be more classic Doom style
without all these new-fangled gadgets? Oh
well, playing back already played games in
high-res can't hurt I suppose.

Does anyone else notice that it already knows
your username and pass these days on DW's
comment threads? Probably a cookie on my
computer, but that sure feels trippy. Esp.
since it had the right username but the wrong
pass!

Slipgate

does anybody know how to get it running in fullscreen, but with a lower resolution, i'd much rather have a large blocky display than a small, detailed one

If you read the docs, you will find a command-line switch named "-fullscreen", or you edit the boom.cfg file.
I will make fullscreen the default in the next release.

Is there any chance we will see an updated release of GLboom anytime soon?

slipdog, alt-enter worked for fullscreen, at least as of prboom 2.02

that was just bad, very bad.

thanks, i found the command to make the screen bigger, but i missed -fullscreen, thanks
and slipdog? if that's a joke i don't get it

Ok, maybe we should have mentioned that, but this release of prboom includes software and opengl for Linux and Windows. Though we have not testet OpenGL on Linux very much.

no, wait, it wont run in fullscreen. when i select "new game" and press enter, it goes back to windows mode.
a bit more tinkering with the .cfg methinks

aha! got it now

sorry spacedog i just forgot your nick in between reading your post and replying to it hehe

How the hell do I get the midi to work with Timidity anyway?
