Advantages and disadvantages

[Bashe]

Could someone list the adavantages and disadvantages of ZdoomGL compared to regular Zdoom? I mean, first off, it's OpenGL. I just want to knew what the pros and cons are.

[sirjuddington]

Why not just download it and figure them out yourself?

[Bashe]

Yeah, I have it.

I like how you can still use Zdoom only wads and have OpenGL, but it seems to crash a lot with Action Doom.

[Relica Religia]

Have you turned off the Dukestyle automap? That's what causes a lot of the crashes.

[Bashe]

Oh hell yeah, that crashes the hell out of the game. I'll turn it off...wait (I feel noobish) how do you turn it off?

It seems when I use the map after I die the game crashes. Stupid map. I have a bad habit of hitting tab when I die, too.

[Relica Religia]

It's in one of your ZDGL documents that came with the prog. I can't remember - "gl_map_dukestyle 0" or something?

[Bashe]

What I like about ZdoomGL is that you have (almost) all the features of Zdoom and it's OpenGL, so you can look straight up and down, which is especially helpful when it comes to killing monsters on high buildings and such.

Ahh, so I can stop the crashing with that "gl_map_dukestyle 0" thingy? That's cool, 50% of the time it crashes when I bring up the map.

[Bashe]

Yeah, that Dukestyle map crashing the game was as annoying as fuck.
