This is Woof! 14.3.0 (Mar 15, 2024)

I believe automap marking is flawed: as far as I've tested on 7.0.0, marks will only be placed at the player's position if Rotate Mode is enabled. It seems like the player's position stops being tracked upon disabling Rotate Mode, since it will then place marks at the player's last position with the feature enabled.

sorry to bring this again, but if one use Freedoom2.wad as an IWAD and loads a pwad that doesn't has any embeded dehacked patch inside and load and external deh patch with the -deh command, the strings are still the ones embeded on Freedoom2.wad.

example of this is alien vendetta.

We need to change the load order for DEHACKED lumps inside IWADs. For now, you can put AV.DEH to autoload/av.wad folder.

Never used marks, so not sure how it suppose to work, but I will try to fix it :)

I know that Woof has UMAPINFO support, but besides SIGIL - can anyone name me a wad that uses UMAPINFO? I wanna test some things out.

Fork in the Road uses most of the UMAPINFO features:

I also made a mini test wad for features as I had the same problem (and they were all limit removing):

https://repo.or.cz/reboom.git/tree/refs/heads/reboom_next:/wads/umapinfo_example 
 

In there is a rather minimalistic example of UMAPINFO features.

A last question: Is it possible to add the flashing in the automap for key based switch like Crispy Doom?

The wad run even on chocolate-doom. Why does this happen on woof?
 

Another problem, unrelated, is that I have not gotten opl emulation to work on macOS (big sur, intel)

Those error messages are accurate. PS15A0, PS18A0, and PS20A0 are all defined as 64x64 textures, but they're made from patches (with the same names) that are 36x35 for the former and  62x36 for the latter two.

As for why it doesn't happen on Choco, I believe this is because it's not a fatal error at initialization in vanilla:

    for (x=0 ; x<texture->width ; x++)
    {
	if (!patchcount[x])
	{
	    printf ("R_GenerateLookup: column without a patch (%s)\n",
		    texture->name);
	    return;
	}
	// I_Error ("R_GenerateLookup: column without a patch");

See how the call to I_Error() is commented out and instead there's a simple printf()? It's possible this was reset to an abort error at some point in Boom or MBF or even Woof. But it's definitely a problem in the wad itself. The issue with such textures (that have columns without a patch) is that the renderer can crash on them if they need to render one of said patchless columns.

Does OPL emulation work in Choco/Crispy?

Yes, work in both. I dunno if it matters, but both choco/crispy and woof were compiled on my pc, but OPL emulation only works on the first.

It may be fixed in gamepad PR https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/woof/pull/292, at least I can't reproduce it with it.

Amazing port, love everything about it and how rapidly it progresses and adapts all the bleeding edge features. Just two things I'd like to see:

a) 'Secret is revealed' message behavior independent from other messages, just so they appear when messages are off but 'secret message' option is on.

b) Gibbing option for SSG/chainsaw. Nugget Doom has it, but would love to see it in the main branch.

Thank you for all the work!

a) I think we can do it

b) The gibbing option has been removed from Crispy Doom due to demo incompatibility. So not sure if this is feasible.

Couldn't such a thing just be forcefully disabled during demo play? After all, it's pretty much granted that it'll cause incompatibilities, and not all play involves demo recording anyways.

Appreciate it. As for demo incompatibilities, that's understandable, but unfortunate nevertheless. Sort of wish source ports could move on from supporting demo recording/playback and leave it to ports mainly developed and used for speedrunning, like dsda, prboom, and whatnot.

Also, forgot to ask, if option to disable infinite height can be expected too?

Sure, we can uncouple the "secret revealed" message from the other messages.

What is Nugget Doom?

Whatever, once you've gone the long and painful way of restoring 99.9% demo compatibility for three different complevels, you are unlikely to introduce new features which put this effort ad absurdum. So, sorry, but we are not going to add any demo breaking features, even if they can be disabled at runtime. This applies to both fancy gibbs for non-gibbing weapons and infinite heights - which no other port that I know of has ever gotten completely bug-free (Crispy included).

This by @Alaux. There is also Nugget Doom LR.

Ok, thanks. I'm new to this and pretty much clueless what breaks demo compatibility and what doesn't. I wouldn't like all my efforts go to waste either.

Awesome port btw, very good stuff

Greetings. I just downloaded this port to see if this WAD runs in it as someone asked in the release thread and for the most part it went smoothly. However, there's a part in MAP09 where the player must hide from a purple marine shooting at them with a rapid fire BetaSkullAttack dealing 1-8 damage. I noticed it didn't seem to work at all in Woof while it works as intended in DSDA-Doom. I made sure the default complevel was set to MBF21 as well. Is this an oversight?

Probably. I can't figure out this map, can you please PM me how to get to this purple marine?

BetaSkullAttack wasn't exported to BEX in MBF. Thanks for the report, it will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you for working on this port, I see it still has the compat options menu where I can turn things on or off; I was missing that when trying to play my older WADs that needed it in DSDA-Doom!

So BetaSkullAttack only ever worked with .deh files?

If you have a list of wads and the adjustments you needed to make, I would appreciate it. I'd like to make these automatically load with the wads so users don't need to think about it.

Oh, that'd be really cool! It was only a couple WADs now that I think about it:
