So Doom 7.0.0 (August 26, 2023) - quadruple resolution, so polished fork of Crispy Doom

[SoDOOManiac]

Making 'Limit-removing Vanilla' singleplayer maps and suffering from INTERCEPTS overflows even in Crispy Doom?

So Doom, the fork of Crispy Doom, is so customizable that you can disable the overflow emulation (not in netgames) and play the map the way you want it!

 

Its distinguishing features are:

• Enhanced 1280x800 framebuffer resolution, 4x4 of the original framebuffer, extensible to the sides for widescreen displays like in Crispy Doom. 

• Lee Killough's optimizations for rendering visplanes, segs and sprites, thanks to @Julia Nechaevskaya for sharing the experience of porting those.

• Displaying the map rendering stats (segs, visplanes, sprites and openings, limits of all these are removed), useful in debugging maps.

• Hotkeys for Crispy Doom's Flipped Levels and Flipped Weapons features.
• Option for INTERCEPTS overflow evasion in singleplayer, shadowed and disabled in netgames, off by default. If the demo you're playing desyncs compared to Crispy Doom, check this setting.
• In-game control of pixel aspect ratio correction (not having to edit the so-doom.cfg file manually).
• Possibility to interpolate camera movement only ('Cam movement (+ vsync)' settings of 'Fast framerate' menu item), so that monsters don't 'slide'.
• Extra options for some Crispy settings (like weapon bobbing).
• Extra cheat codes.

 

For details on all of the above see README at the GitHub page.

It took me a minute to figure out why you called it "So Doom", but once I got it... that's clever, and funny. :)

 

Congrats to your new port!

[DoomedDude]

I like the logo a lot! Excited to try this port out.

This seems like an interesting fork so far, but I want to point out something regarding support for Doom 0.99-1.2.

 

Those versions are still a bit experimental, and most importantly, a bit incomplete. I'm not sure about pre-1. 2 but at least in the case of 1.2 itself, it's missing some unique quirks specific to this version, which probably cause desyncs. I've seen @SmileTheory only recently added the 199% max health quirk, but, unless I missed the line, the uncapped armor is still missing (it can go above 200 in those versions). Those 2 quirks are probably enough to cause a desync in vanilla if the player has 200% health and armor in a demo played back in Doom 1.2. Odd that they weren't added back then, since a part of the code for 1.2 was taken from PrBoom which appears to support this version very well, including those 2 quirks, and more. It might be worth checking out if enemies such as Barons and Cacos can commit suicide after a barrel explodes in their face too (barrels must survive one attack for that to be possible however, because they need to remember their attacker).

 

But, I'm glad you added support for those versions in your fork as support for older versions of Doom are something I'm interested in too, especially pre-1.666/1.2 :) . Support for other console IWADs would also be cool (So Doom being a fork of Crispy, support for Xbox Doom & Doom 2 is probably already a thing though).

[SoDOOManiac]

@seed All the changes regarding pre-1.2 support have been pulled to So Doom and Crispy from Chocolate Doom, so I recommend to post your concerns on them in Choco issue tracker.

Precisely why I brought this up, I guess you missed my point.

 

I was just saying that it isn't quite complete. Yet. So certain aspects might not work, but it's work-in-progress so they'll be added soon enough.

I'm only now noticing this.

 

He probably won't show up on DW again anytime soon :( , "Last Online: October 19th".

 

E: If he does, however, I'm pointing him to this article.

E2: Apparently @drfrag brought this up into the discussion on github. It was already there, but its implementation differs from that of the 199% max health and I completely missed the lines. Oops.

• 'So Doomy HUD' with the status bar face above the ammo widget and translucent background for netgames has been introduced. Thanks a lot to @fabian for all the hints!

• The revenant sync bug (with homing or non-homing missiles) with New Game demos has hopefully been fixed.
• If a new game is started (current level is reloaded/next level is loaded on pressing the respective key) during demo recording, a new demo is started. Thanks to @Looper for the feature request.

• 'Intermediate Crispy HUD' without the status bar but with the face and its background in place has been introduced. Thanks to @UndeadRyker for the request!
• Fuzz effect animation remaining static in one case has been fixed, this happened if the number of pixels to apply the fuzz effect to was an integer multiple of FUZZTABLE. Thanks to @Julia Nechaevskaya for the suggestion!

So Doom-specific changes:

• Thing (monster, fireball etc.) interpolation is now disabled by setting 'Camera movement' option for Uncapped framerate (i.e. so that interpolation applies to camera movement only) as JNechaevsky requested.
• Screen Size slider in the Options menu has been adjusted for So Doomy HUD.

Changes pulled from Crispy Doom:

• Horizontal position of Crispy HUD widgets has been fixed, thanks to ice44 for the bug report.

https://github.com/Zodomaniac/So-Doom/releases/download/so-doom-5.7/so-doom-5.7.0-win32.zip

 

So Doom-specific changes:

• The ugly 'So Noob' adaptation for widescreen monitors that did not support aspect ratios wider than 16:9 has been replaced with the proper one, supporting aspect ratios up to 24:9.

Changes pulled from Crispy Doom:

• Widescreen resizing of the framebuffer is not performed anymore in case of disabled aspect ratio correction, as Zodomaniac proved it made no sense.
• The obtrusive MAP/WAD automap text widget is not drawn anymore in widescreen mode, thanks to plumsinus.
• Horizontal coordinates of automap markers in widescreen mode have been fixed, thanks unerxai from Doomworld forums.
• Fix for GUS emulation in presence of midiproc.exe has been pulled from Chocolate Doom, whereto it was contributed by JNechaevsky.

 

[SoDOOManiac]

So Doom 5.7.1 has been released on March 05, 2020 to feature post-Crispy 5.7.1 bug fixes and Compact HUD, as well as resolve So Doom-specific issues.

 

https://github.com/Zodomaniac/So-Doom/releases/download/so-doom-5.7.1/so-doom-5.7.1-win32.zip

 

So Doom-specific changes:

 

• Widescreen setting is now restored after cycling aspect ratio correction through 'none' due to the change in Crispy code.
• SoDOOMy menu item has been introduced for coloring revealed secrets in automap, inspired by the discussion with oprypin.

 

Changes pulled from Crispy Doom:

 

• Wrong alignment of HUD widgets when launching map from command line on Windows has been fixed, spotted by Zodomaniac.
• `crispy-doom` is now explicitly written to extended savegame header instead of `PACKAGE_TARNAME` to preserve savegame header compatibility across forks that might have different package names.
• 'Oof' sounds have been removed from Crispness menu as pistol firing sound played upon any (including futile) attempt to manipulate the Crispness menu item is much louder and oofs can barely be heard.
• "Wide" and "Compact" HUDs are now available for widescreen mode, where "wide" and "compact" refer to the alignment of status bar and HUD widgets.
• Respective Crispness menu item has been renamed to "Report Revealed Secrets". This should improve the discoverability of this feature, thanks to oprypin for the discussion. 
• Screen resolution is now not changed during a wipe as it was causing crashes reported and investigated by Zodomaniac and JNechaevsky.

 

[SoDOOManiac]

So Doom 5.7.2 has been released on March 07, 2020 to feature the additional Cockpit HUD as Compact HUD had been modified in Crispy and fix a bug in Uncapped Framerate setting.

 

https://github.com/Zodomaniac/So-Doom/releases/download/so-doom-5.7.2/so-doom-5.7.2-win32.zip

 

So Doom-specific changes:

• Fixed uncapped framerate options broken after recent Crispy merge.
• The previous centered implementation of Compact HUD has been brought back under the name Cockpit HUD.

• Compact HUD was reworked in Crispy to align widgets to screen edges.

 

[YeOldeFellerNoob]

You fool. You think I am going to download this and make my total ways I can play DOOM to 20? You are correct because I am downloading this ASAP.

[SoDOOManiac]

So Doom 5.7.3 has been released on March 13, 2020 to bring new cheat codes and pull bug fixes from Chocolate and Crispy Doom, and re-released on March 14, 2020 to fulfil an improvement request.

 

https://github.com/Zodomaniac/So-Doom/releases/download/so-doom-5.7.3/so-doom-5.7.3-win32.zip

 

So Doom-specific changes:

• Visual menu item for displaying So Doom logo in the main menu and Options menu has been implemented, requested by YeOldeFellerNoob from Doomworld forums.
• Minor wording unification for SoDoomy menu item: Color->Colorize revealed secrets (in the automap), same as Colorize HUD elements.
• Options menu is now also adorned with So Doom logo.
• New cheat codes: TP (toggle powerup) = IDBEHOLD, HP for health powerup (HPS for maximum health in all IWADs and HPM for maximum health and armor in Doom II IWADs), SFPS = SHOWFPS and SNAIL = NOMOMENTUM have been introduced, powerup ones also play the respective sound when completely entered.

Changes pulled from Crispy Doom:

• Fix for segmentation fault when running on rgb565 screen has been pulled from Chocolate Doom, contributed by Wells Lu.
• Previous colorization of "percent" status bar widgets is now remembered. This applies to the health and armor widgets and forces them to update not only if their value changes, but also if their colorization changes, e.g. when entering the IDDQD cheat. Thanks to unerxai for the attention to the details!

[YeOldeFellerNoob]

Can there be an option in the future where we can turn off the SO DOOM logo? I like the logo design a lot and it does look cool, but it just ruins the title screen when it pops up.

Implemented this and re-released 5.7.3, the download link is the same, enjoy!

[SoDOOManiac]

So Doom 5.7.4 has been released on March 18, 2020 to merge Crispy Doom's SPECHITS limit removal and make reporting and colorizing revealed secrets independent.

 

https://github.com/Zodomaniac/So-Doom/releases/download/so-doom-5.7.4/so-doom-5.7.4-win32.zip

 

So Doom-specific changes:

• 'Report Revealed Secrets' and 'Colorize Revealed Secrets' SoDOOMy menu items are now independent, e.g. one can have revealed secrets colorized in the automap without getting notified of them aloud (see screenshot: secret sector border has just been crossed and it turned green, but there is no message or sound).

Changes pulled from Crispy Doom:

• SPECHITS limit, the last persisting static limit, has been removed.

[Danfun64]

Wait, Crispy Doom removed SPECHITS? @fabian How does this effect demo recording again?

[fabian]

Not at all. The overflow emulation is still there, but the array now resizes dynamically. 

[Danfun64]

What does that mean again? I'm not a coder, after all.
