Crispy Doom 6.0 (Update: Mar 31, 2023)

[Keyboard_Doomer]

I went through a large number of demos for the popular wads recently and encountered these issues:

 

These desync immediately after the end of MAP11 intermission, they are all CNDoom demos and the issue seems to be that the episode byte is \x02. They all fully play back if you change the byte to \x01.

https://dsdarchive.com/files/demos/doom2/27142/lve2-4541.zip

 

Another CNDoom demo, this time with \x03 as the episode byte and plays back in TEETH.WAD if you have it. Fully plays back if you rename the wad or change the byte to \x01.

The 40:44 demo in this zip seems to *sometimes* desync in MAP24. I'm judging purely from the generated levelstat.txt so that's all I can tell you.

hi, just a quick question regarding sigil/nerve support

 

is there any way to avoid the automatic sideloading of these wads?

 

I have DOOM.WAD/DOOM2.WAD stored in %DOOMWADDIR%

I have SIGIL.WAD/NERVE.WAD stored in one of the folders listed in %DOOMWADPATH%

 

I would prefer to launch them using dedicated batch files (in order to load additional pwads/midis) 

 

thank you!

Why is that byte set to 0x02 in the first place? Isn't Doom 2 supposed to be episode 1 all the way?

Yes, it has just recently been added:

I am currently struggling with the idea if I should restrict A11Y aids to non-demo sessions only. They could potentially make life *a lot* easier for people who do not suffer from the photosensibilities this is supposed to mitigate,

Indeed. It's a thing in CNDoom when the -episode parameter is used which represents an episode run. Since it's user-provided it can also end up being completely wrong, e.g. nothing stops you from using "-warp 1 -episode 9" and that's what's get written to the file.

Alright, I just added a check to prevent sideloading of the "official" PWADs when a single demo is played back, i.e. `-playdemo` or `-timedemo`.

Ey fabian, since Crispy Hexen got a widescreen "patch" on github could you please create a release? Thanks.

You can try Russian Doom (Russian Heretic?)

The problem is that I hate writing changelogs so much that I postpone releases longer and longer until the amount of changes that need to be documented overwhelms me. The 5.11 release is long time overdue already, but now I am going to wait for a minimal Crispness menu in Hexen - and then it's the right time. ;)

I would recommend using something like dynalist to note changes as they happen.   That way there is no big ordeal to go through when you are ready for a release, you just do a little cleanup and then copy paste.  I have had good success with that site.

[Gibbon]

I just use notepad and write changes from my commit messages when I commit stuff.  Then its just cleaning up the text file into a changelog and copy/paste.

I find that tracking changes in a pending changelog in the repo is a nice way to check off a feature right after it's merged :^)

I think we both need to print this picture and pin it near monitor! :)

Thanks mikeday0!

[SiFi270]

Oh boy oh boy. Will devbuilds be added to https://latest.chocolate-doom.org/?

[mikeday]

No problem! I will keep an eye on the issue tracker and this thread in case there are any issues with the Heretic/Hexen widescreen implementation. There is bound to be something I overlooked.

Awesome news. Next to Prboom+, Crispy Doom is my most used Doom port.

 

Since i have been trying to get into pistolstart, I have been using Crispy Doom more often; also it tends to give me better performance on the raspberry pi.

I've just downloaded the newest updates and tried them out, thanks for sharing them.

 

In current Heretic's, the player's speed on autorun appears to be the same as in walk mode, I double-checked in the setup and the option is enabled so this could be a thing. I've also had a crash in the first map of this wad, few seconds in while looking around, the message was this and it seems to be consistent. The mappers claimed they tested in Heretic+ with no glaring problems, though I'm not sure if I should be using zdoom this time in particular.

[liPillON]

congrats for the new release!

 

just a little nitpick: the .exe file properties and the window titlebar both display "5.10.3" as the program version

[Dweller Dark]

I've been waiting for a new Crispy update for a while, and it's pretty much what I wanted. Mostly the Crispy Heretic/Hexen improvements like widescreen support. The only real issue I had was that I couldn't bind mouse buttons 4 and 5 to "Previous Weapon" and "Next Weapon" in Crispy Doom, but I could in Heretic/Hexen. I also tried to run Chexquest, but it said I needed a Dehacked file, so I gotta figure out where to find that at. But I hope to see more stuff for Heretic/Hexen in the future

[BlueThunder]

Nice addition with widescreen to hexen,  does it also have uncapped frame rate?

It happened the same for me in HeXen, try opening the config file and set joyb_speed to 31

[xX_Lol6_Xx]

Also, another thing, whenever I turn, either to the left or right in HeXen while running (with all classes), the player slows down to the walking speed.
Doesn't happen in Chocolate HeXen

This was an issue pre-release but I reported it and it was fixed as well. Strange to see it pop-up again.

Strangely enough none of these issues happen when building from source. At least with the latest commit before the release.

I think the fastest way to fix it would be to report it on GitHub, there's a really handy template that you can use with all the required information.

Not yet. Just widescreen, smooth pixel scaling, vsync and obviously the higher resolution and raised limits.

I'm playing around with implementing uncapped frame rate but it's not quite there yet. If I'm successful I'll definitely submit a PR.

Same. I don't have any issues with autorun as far as I can tell.

this didnt work for me, still is going walking speed all the time..(tho on heretic no hexen, for whatever reason hexen doesnt have this issue at all, just heretic)

[Eric Claus]

Excellent.

[fabian]

I don't have any other explanation for this, but it seems that the packaging script in `pkg/win32` "somehow" picked up a development snapshot of the executables instead of the actual 5.11 releases. This, although I have started from a clean "make distclean && autoreconf -fiv && ./configure && make". And then it packaged it up with the correct README.md file which contains the 5.11 release notes and which I changed just in the same commit in which I updated the version information in CMakeList.txt and configure.ac. This is really, really strange.

 

Now that @mikeday has fixed the config keys getting lost in setup, I'll check out a clean repo and package it once again as 5.11.1.
