Arioch Posted March 19, 2002 Over on the ZDoom forums Timmie has posted some screenshots of the latest version ZDoomGL in-progress. The new version will support ZDoom 1.23 (and is currently compatible with 1.23b33) and will use a newly rewritten engine. Timmie lists some additional new features in his post here. 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted March 19, 2002 Too bad it won't be the least bit stable. (Just a bit of defensive pessimism.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted March 19, 2002 I'll reserve judgment until it's actually sitting in front of me, kthnx. Just like I've been doing with every new version of Legacy and ZDoom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted March 19, 2002 Err... I didn't post that actually. And it seems in pretty bad english imo. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've been testing timmie's Zdoomgl on my system and so far stability hasn't been an issue. The limiting factor will be the zdoom base. 0 Share this post Link to post
timmie Posted March 20, 2002 Holy smokes! I made news! Just to clarify: it's not a completely rewritten engine, just certain parts of it are being rewritten. It's still using code from the old ZDoomGL, but there's a lot of new stuff in there. Originally posted by AndrewB Too bad it won't be the least bit stable. (Just a bit of defensive pessimism.) Actually, it seems pretty good so far... There's a few problems I'm still trying to track down (map05 in tntd2kh1 crashes it and my tester reports that it occasionally crashes when you use the console), but it seems to be fairly solid... It's not bad, considering it's still very much an alpha version. If you want to test it (just to see how it compares to the old vesion), feel free to drop me a line... 0 Share this post Link to post

TheRequiem Posted March 21, 2002 It never gave me any problems... it has always worked fine for me, I just hope the new one isn't buggy when it is upgraded, it usually becomes better anyhow. I can't complain. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted March 22, 2002 The old versions of ZDoomGL seemed to be most unstable on systems with Voodoo cards. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted March 22, 2002 Does this mean ZDoomGL will finally have Heretic/HeXen support? /me crosses fingers 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted March 23, 2002 is it just me or does zcajun not work with 33beta? 0 Share this post Link to post
fen boi Posted March 23, 2002 Originally posted by pritch is it just me or does zcajun not work with 33beta? the zcajun directory isn't created (can't find bots.cfg when the addbot command is used), just copy from an older version like 1.22. Seems to work ok. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted March 24, 2002 thanks, I meant zcajun.exe. I still get problems with added bots in 33beta from within zdoom which slow the fps rate to about .4, which is only why I asked. Mm, I still stick to v1.22, but I keep my .ini in hope! 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted March 26, 2002 ZCajun.exe is a seperate port; just like, say, Skulltag or ZDaemon, you don't run it with ZDoom or visa versa. The bots are built into ZDoom, just use the appopriate console commands. 0 Share this post Link to post
