[FINAL RELEASE] Eviternity

[Dragonfly]

Both pistol start and continuous are supported. It was designed with continuous in mind but pistol starting is completely possible, amd was how the maps were tested when they were first built.

 

Gl/PrBoom don't have any particles at all, since they're made using ACS, which isn't supported in those ports. All differences between ports are cosmetic only, so the gameplay is very much the same. :)

[Deadwing]

Congratz for the final release!! :D

[Dominic Tarason]

Adding one more round of congrats on the v1.0 release, and hope I did it justice on RPS. I feel these levels do a great job at teaching Doom fundamentals. Someone who had only played vanilla Doom and Doom 2 who goes through all six episodes is probably equipped to take on almost anything. Maybe even Sunder.

I loved that angle of the write-up, much appreciated. Big thanks for giving us some media attention! (and for the texture shout-out in the comments :)

Just found out that there seems to be no way to get proper pistol start to work in GZDoom unless I'm willing to try unofficial  mods

 

Just type IDCLEV** (** being the map number) or open the console and type "map *" (without quotes) to restart the current map. You can also bind a key for it through the console if you like, like this:

 

bind r "map *"

Can i play this with Brutal doom?

 

[Dragonfly]

I didn't test it for mod compatibility - Though honestly I'd suggest you try and find out ;)

I would love to, I just discovered this wonderful community because of a video i saw of brutal doom and im digging the game alot, its so cool that people create their own games and everybody can play them, i just wish i had a computer since mine broke like 3 weeks ago. im gonna buy one soon but cant wait to try this.

[Hitscanning_scumbag]

hey. dumb question, is this vanilla and crispy doom compatible? been playing some old maps on my pi 0

EDIT:

just skipped to pg.1 - 

my take is it's not doable.

 

[Dragonfly]

Definitely not Vanilla compatible. It's for Boom (well, technically, MBF).

I suspect something like Map26 would pretty much melt a vanilla compatible source-port.  The opening view alone contains over 13,000 visible linedefs.

This looks AWESOME, but when i drag the wad to GZDoom it says "Script error, "Eviternity.wad:ZSCRIPT" line 3:
Version mismatch. 3.5.0 expected but only 3.3.0 supported" What is it?

Your GZDoom is too old. Update it.

More media coverage, this time on Bloody Disgusting's "Dead Pixels" website. :)

Sorry for the bump - just wanted to say a huuuuge thank you to all those interested in Eviternity! I've just been informed from Dropbox that I can't use it to share the files for a while, due to the popularity of this project... oops! :P

 

 

If you've yet to get your hands on a copy of Eviternity, you can still grab a copy from dfdoom.com or ModDB, and it's now on idgames, too!

@Malice I'll answer that question later on when I have access to SLADE. I can't remember the lump names from the top of my head.

 

Alright. I will await your reply with the insight I seek.

[m8f]

Just downloaded Eviternity from idgames, and the "MENUDEF" lump is named "MENUDEF_" instead, and GZDoom 3.7.2 doesn't recognize it as a menu lump. Renaming it to "MENUDEF" with Slade enables the weather toggle options menu.

[Hitscanning_scumbag]

Wow. That's a lot of line defs. Thank you for your answers guys

I just did, and when i drag the WAD to the "GZDoom.exe", the loading screen appears but then i get this: 
"Unsupported OpenGL version.
At least OpenGL 3.3 is required to run GZDoom.
For older versions of OpenGL please download the vintage build of GZDoom."

 

Do i have to update my drivers? I have Windows 7 64 bits.

Probably not a bad idea to keep your drivers updated, although it could be your GPU is just too old to run the modern versions of GZDoom.  If that's the case, the vintage version of GZDoom (which is an up-to-date version of GZDoom with the older version of the renderer) might help.  You can grab it at the ZDoom downloads page.

Eviternity crashes EE's latest build with ACS VM errors. Not sure if that is something to report to Eviternity or EE.

[StoneMason]

I think its an EE issue, cause I went with an earlier devbuild from January, and it works fine.

 

Edit: Just tried the feb 11 release, and it works fine for me, too. Might be fixed?

Is anyone else getting a crash to desktop after exiting Map05 "Demon" and trying to load Map06 "Reconnect" with GZDoom 3.7.2?

I am getting an error saying "Code: C0000005 (Access violation - tried to read address 00000000000097C7) / Address: 000000013F67C63A)".

 

Crash does not happen when starting ep.2 via the menu, so it must be something about the transition from the first episode to the second.

Paging @Altazimuth who may be able to advise.

I never experienced this when testing. I'd advise getting a crash report and sending it to the ZDoom developers on their forums.

Actually crashes? Where? I've seen ACSVM errors that don't crash the engine (expected, since it uses unknown opcodes), but no crashes. There was a crashing issue in any map with a sky transfer as well that I got printz to fix.

MENUDEF in GZDoom probably doesn't work since it's named MENUDEF_ in the pwad. The menu also doesn't show for me.

Thanks for the report, though this is a known bug and was reported just a few posts back. :)

Found that one enemy can get stuck in map10 when I did my max run.
