I avoided supplying this as an extra file in the PsyDoom repository just as a precaution (in case there are complaints) but it's easy enough to create this WAD for custom maps. You just need to add in the 'S_START' and 'S_END' markers, copy in the required enemy sprite lumps from DOOM2.WAD and then batch convert them all to the PSX texture format using the latest Slade betas.

Though now that I know that the "LIMIT_REMOVING" switch is available when building, I guess it'd be sensible for someone targeting compatibility with PSX Doom to just use a custom build. (Unless someone wants to make PsyDoom Render Limits) Yeah the non-limit removing custom build should get you much closer to the PSX limits. There are still things that can't accurately be reproduced in PsyDoom however such as frame-rate/performance and also main RAM usage. Because PsyDoom is a 64-bit program certain data structures in the game become bigger and more memory must be allocated to compensate for this. My compensation for this is overly generous, in order to keep the game working. If you want to be absolutely sure you stay within the PSX limits and get an acceptable level of performance then an emulator is probably what you need.

After interpolation for enemies and sectors, this will probably be the next thing I will look at. 6 Share this post Link to post

While I appreciate the desire to make the game more accessible, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable in advertising or suggesting the game as safe for players with this condition - even with strobe or flickering lights removed. There might be lots of other things like sudden changes in scenery or light levels caused by teleporters, Chaingunners flickering on and off in the dark when firing, sudden explosions etc. that might be potential issues for photosensitive people. There are plenty of other non-photosensitive triggers to consider too, like stress and loud noises... I'll admit to knowing very little about the condition but I think a fast paced FPS like Doom might not be the safest of games to play, even if all lighting is removed and fullbright mode is constantly activated. 6 Share this post Link to post

Lollie Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) FWIW, the topic of flashing lights as potential epileptic triggers has come up in the Master Edition thread before (particularly around Pages 56 and 57). I suggested slowing down the speed (or smoothing the variance in brightness) of certain strobing light effects at an engine level, so that the lighting effect is still retained, just not as rapid/strong. Unfortunately there's only so much that can be done to account for epilepsy triggers, since a lot of potential flashing triggers are a result of gameplay. But I do still feel it's worth considering for map lighting, at the very least. Edited July 25, 2021 by Lollie 1 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted July 25, 2021 Realistically speaking, the engine on PSX only tics logic at 15 Hz, so literally the fastest the strobing could be would be about 8x a second. Obviously people with epileptic conditions should play in a well-lit room or take other precautions. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted July 26, 2021 As source port devs I think we need to start taking accessibility more seriously - having an option to disable flashing light and palette effects would go a long way toward this. 1 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted July 29, 2021 2 hours ago, Chris0neilson said: Do note that the texture stretching is actually accurate in older versions of PSX Doom GEC Master Edition - the original PSX Renderer could only handle a texture tiling vertically once, so any textures over 256 high would actually stretch. This won't be the case anymore in Beta 4, but as Beta 3 is the latest, the textures will still stretch if you're running it on actual PSX Hardware. PsyDoom won't really care, though, I think. 1 Share this post Link to post

PsyDoom allows arbitrarily tall sectors without texture stretching for both the Vulkan and classic renderers. It's possible to get the original stretching behavior for the classic renderer (only) however, but only if you do a custom non limit removing build.
