Crispy Doom 6.0 (Update: Mar 31, 2023)

Recommended Posts

For some reason my screenshots aren't being saved in Crispy Doom (and Heretic). They used to be saved in the same folder as the exe but now there's no screenshots. It still says "SCREEN SHOT" in game when I press the key though.

 

Update: It only fails when I mark the "save as PNG" option. PCX screenshots do work.

Hm, I need some more information, please. Which build are you using, which libraries are you using, which system are you running this on? Do others experience the same?

Cripsy Doom 5.9.2 on Windows 10 64-bit. No idea about libraries, sorry.

 

So I just tried it on another computer and it works there. Same Crispy Doom version and OS. Weird. I guess something got messed up on my system with a software I installed or something. Oh well, PCX screenshots are fine anyway.

Would UMAPINFO support be considered if it was rewritten in C?

 

Sure, why not? Why would it have to get rewritten in C?

I just read from another forum. Though it's two years old, and I probably misinterpreted it.

The existing UMAPINFO implementation is written in C++. Prboom+ and Crispy Doom are C projects, so adopting UMAPINFO means changing the implementation language of the project.

 

I have considered rewriting Graf's prboom+ UMAPINFO port into pure C but haven't (nor realistically the time)

Prboom+ itself is coded in plain C, so I don't see why this would be a problem.

I see. Still, cool to see UMAPINFO be considered.

Is there any progress on controller support working, yet ?

It's such a shame not to have it, and vital for those of us that use a controller as Crispy is the best source port there is when it comes to the classic wads.

I wouldn't know the first thing about compiling, and don't have the time to invest into doing so.

 

I appreciate the work others put into it for me to enjoy, but doing it myself is not an option.

@fabian Just so you know:

 

 

Will you add auto-detection for Heretic, Hexen 1, and Deathkings' GOG releases? I assume the various Dooms' GOG releases already do...

If you use Linux, it is as easy as just typing in a few commands. I could help you if you are a Linux guy.

Appreciated, but I wouldn't know. DOS then Windows exclusively. Never have tried a Linux OS.

 

I'll wait, and hope it eventually gets put back in.

If SDL is indeed the problem, I've just built these with SDL 2.0.12. Controller seems to work (though I only tested in Wine):

Wow. This works. only partially on my end, but I can now use my controller :)

I can finally set the thumbstick axis, then use DS4windows to set the other buttons manually as the triggers and a few others don't seem to register.

 

You also have the border edging fixed in your build. That's a great little fix. How did you do that ?

SDL 2.0.12 is the exact version we use for the Choco/Crispy auto-builds. So, I'd be interested in how you fixed this as well.

I didn't really do anything special. Just running Arch Linux with all the appropriate mingw-w64-* packages installed.

@chungy How did you get the border edging to show ?
This was bugging me for so long lol. Glad it is restored, anyhow. Always hated the abrupt cut off. It blends much better now.

That's weird. For me, if I download and use the latest build, it is still broken. Could it be something to do with Chungy compiling with the latest SDL, since that fixed both of the issues.

But you said the joystick only works partially. With SDL 2.0.8 they work fine, check with RUDE if you want.

I much prefer Crispy. It's perfect.

 

Controller is working now. I'm happy as Larry.

github. 

 

Then that's your problem. :)
 

Github /releases page has official approved/etc versions - latest being 5.9.2.

As Fabian explained, the graphical bug was fixed in the development and will be in next release (5.9.3, 5.10.0, whatever it'll turn out to be named).

 

The "latest.chocolate-doom.org" link has development builds - every night, it takes the current development code from Github and compiles it.

Because they include work-in-progress stuff, depending on the day they may not work well, but otherwise they're a way to preview stuff fixed/changed before next official release.

Chungy made a development build for you with different libraries - so it also included the graphics fix.

Test with the official devbuild instead of Chungy's to compare if it works there too?

@wrkq Never crossed my mind to look within the Chocolate Doom page, even with it being a fork.

 

Now I know where to keep track of new builds. Thanks :)

 

Yep, fix is indeed present.

That's completely irrelevant to solve the joystick issue. I wonder if this is a windows only problem.
