GZDoom = ZDoom + OpenGL + 3D floors

Get it here.

What is it?

It's a ZDoom based OpenGL port which also features 3D floors. This is based on the latest unofficial 2.0.96x build dated 8.8.2005 and as such has also full support for custom inventory items and weapons.

Sounds great. I'll check it out later (playing WoW, obviously). Is the OpenGL part written from scratch or based off Timmie's code?

It grew out of PrBoom's renderer although there are only minor traces left of that. I'd say 99% is new although I took some code from ZDoomGL but not much.

Still don't get any 3d floors. :(

The only reason I can imagine is that it loads an incorrect ZDoom.wad. Can you post the console startup log? That might help find the cause.

By 3D floors, do you mean those newfangled 3D displaced textures?

This is great. I made a small test map: http://paci-fist.org/~boris/3dfloor.wad

The floors works with that wad for me, but not with Nimrod or High tech hell.

That's because you are probably loading an incorrect linedef translation table. That's why I'd like to see the console log. It could at least tell me whether you are loading the correct zdoom.wad or something that is not supposed to be loaded.


Both Nimrod's and HTH's 3D floors work for me.

The people demand screenshots! Rabble rabble rabble!

Ok, well, First. How do I save the log in zdoom? There's no automatic dump like in Legacy.

Second: Unless you released it with the wrong wad, then I am using the correct one. I've said this before, I'm running it from it's own directory.

Add '+logfile log' on the command line and it will save the output in the file 'log'

I checked it 3 times already and decompiled the translation lump twice and started both Nimrod and HTH from totally different directories in which I copied the zip's contents and all checked out ok. If the file was incorrect I should have found something, shouldn't I?

It doesn't support texture alignment?

Slopes on 3d floors. I've wanted Legacy to have this for awhile.

/me downloads

I can't access paci-fist.org. Can anyone else post the picture on a site where I can look at it? ;)

That site is dead for me as well. :(

Not my day today.

Yes, that's better. ;)

Ok, I must apologize. I've been so stupid. I made an desktop icon to run it and since I am such a lazy git I took one that aimed for zdoom and copied it. Then just changed the info in it. I however forgot to change the directory in which it ran the prog. so it was still running it from the zdoom directory. It works now though.

So, sorry for being a pain in the ass.

BTW, Graf, you plan to add the sector color system to GZdoom aswell? I jumped into the nuke and the screen turned blue.

From what I can see it supports unpegging of the textures. Legacy has this aswell, but only in Software. I don't think I ever managed to get Hurdler to understand what I was meaning when I asked him to add this to the hardware mode.

Quite what I expected! ;)

It was working. No idea what broke it in the mean time. Maybe some restructuring of the color parsing code which was necessary to make it fit into ZDoom. Expect it to be correct in the next version.

Texture alignment is implemented. It adds the offsets of the transfer linedef and the linedef where it is copied to. When I wrote that code I used the windows at the start of Nimrod's MAP05 as a guideline.

3dfloors? ZDoomGL? Slopes too? Hmmm maybe I might start editing for Zdoom again.....

This is really cool. I have a problem though. When I try to switch to OpenGL mode through the menu my screen blanks, then it shows my desktop for a couple of seconds, then it blanks again and GZDoom is back up in software mode.

aparrently gzdoom doesn't like my 60hz monitor :o

In both cases: Can you post your console log? You can get that by starting it with '+logfile log.txt'.

I hacked into the ini and fixed it. the HZ was set to 0 in the ini.

anyway some test screenies

Thats one thing I really appreciate about GZDoom is the ability to have moving 3d floors without having to script in collision detection.

I've got a few legacy wads of mine that are loaded with 3d floors, GZDoom handles them without a problem.

Which brings to mind, how much of FS are you going to incorporate into GZDoom? I imagine only a basic set, with ACS doing the rest (although there are some nice legacy functions (although not in the current release) I wouldn't mind seeing in your port).

I tried what Blackfish did but it didn't work.
