dhewm3 Changelog
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Note: Numbers starting with a "#" like #330 refer to the bugreport with that number
|
|
at https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/
|
|
|
|
1.5.5 (WIP)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Enable/disable Soft Particles when **loading** a graphics quality preset (only enabled in Ultra preset,
|
|
though you can still configure it independently as before; #604)
|
|
|
|
1.5.4 (2024-08-03)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* A brand new settings menu that uses [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui).
|
|
Can be opened with `F10` (unless that key is bound already) or by entering `dhewm3Settings`
|
|
in the console. It has lots of settings that the original options menu doesn't have and
|
|
can be easily navigated with gamepad or keyboard (or the mouse, of course).
|
|
It can also be opened while in the game, which then is paused (if Single Player) but still visible,
|
|
so the effect of most graphics settings can be seen immediately.
|
|
Needs SDL2 and C++11.
|
|
* "Soft" Particles (that don't "cut" into geometry but fade smoothly), based on code from The Dark Mod
|
|
2.04. Can be enabled/disabled with `r_useSoftParticles`, is applied automatically for all appropriate
|
|
particles (view-aligned, using additive or alpha blending and not too small).
|
|
**NOTE** that on some systems Soft Particles noticeably slow down rendering. If dhewm3 doesn't run
|
|
as smoothly as you'd expect, try disabling them (`r_useSoftParticles 0` or in the new *Settings Menu*
|
|
under *Video Options* -> *Use Soft Particles*)
|
|
* `r_enableDepthCapture`: Enable capturing depth buffer to texture, needed for the soft particles.
|
|
Can be used in custom materials by using the `"_currentDepth"` texture
|
|
* Replaced dependency on (external) zlib with integrated [miniz](https://github.com/richgel999/miniz)
|
|
* HighDPI/Retina support
|
|
* Allow inverted mouse look (horizontally, vertically or both) with `m_invertLook`
|
|
* CVar to allow always run in single player (still drains stamina though!): `in_allowAlwaysRunInSP`
|
|
* VSync can be enabled/disabled on the fly, without restarting the renderer (still with `r_swapInterval`
|
|
or in the menu, of course; needs SDL2)
|
|
* Allow enabling/disabling [HRTF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function)
|
|
with `s_alHRTF`
|
|
* `s_alOutputLimiter`: Configure OpenAL's output-limiter which temporarily reduces the overall
|
|
volume when too many too loud sounds play at once, to avoid issues like clipping
|
|
* `s_scaleDownAndClamp`: Clamp and reduce volume of all sounds to prevent clipping or temporary
|
|
downscaling by OpenAL's output limiter
|
|
* If `r_windowResizable` is set, the dhewm3 window (when in windowed mode..) can be freely resized.
|
|
Needs SDL2; with 2.0.5 and newer it's applied immediately, otherwise when creating the window.
|
|
* If switching between fullscreen and windowed mode or similar changes causes issues (like
|
|
[here](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/587#issuecomment-2205807989)), you can set
|
|
`r_vidRestartAlwaysFull 1`, so (again) a full `vid_restart` is done, instead of the partial one
|
|
which *usually* suffices for just changing the resolution or fullscreen state. If you run into that
|
|
issue (probably a driver bug), you'll probably also want to set `r_windowResizable 0`, because
|
|
resizing the window that way also triggered the bug, and in that case no `vid_restart` is done at all
|
|
* Fixed screenshots when using native Wayland (`SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland`)
|
|
* If you enter the `map` command in the console, without any arguments, the current map name is printed
|
|
* Support OpenGL debug contexts and messages (`GL_ARB_debug_output`). Can be enabled with `r_glDebugContext 1`.
|
|
Changing that CVar requires a `vid_restart` (or set it as startup argument)
|
|
* The Mods Menu's entries for the base game and d3xp/RoE are now clearer, and it can load the new
|
|
d3xp-based mods (sikkmodd3xp, perfected_roe)
|
|
|
|
1.5.3 (2024-03-29)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for gamepads (based on code from [Quadrilateral Cowboy](https://github.com/blendogames/quadrilateralcowboy),
|
|
but heavily expanded). See [Configuration.md](./Configuration.md#using-gamepads) for more information.
|
|
* Support different file formats for screenshots by setting the `r_screenshotFormat` CVar
|
|
(0 = TGA, still the default, 1 = BMP, 2 = PNG, 3 = JPG). `r_screenshotJpgQuality` and
|
|
`r_screenshotPngCompression` allow configuring how JPG/PNG are compressed.
|
|
Thanks *eezstreet (Nick Whitlock)*!
|
|
* Fixed problems with lights after loading a savegame (#495)
|
|
* Fix volume of some weapon sounds, like chaingun being too quit (#326)
|
|
* Increase stack size on Windows to 8MB (instead default of 1MB) to make loading huge models work
|
|
* Fixed crash in Radiant Model Preview Dialog (#496)
|
|
* Fix MD3 model support
|
|
* Several new CMake options:
|
|
- To enable Clang/GCC Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behavior Sanitizer
|
|
- Hardlink the game code into the executable (instead of using game DLLs,
|
|
only supports base *or* d3xp then; needed for Undefined Behavior Sanitizer)
|
|
- Force colored diagnostic output from GCC or Clang (esp. useful when building with ninja)
|
|
* Fix several compiler warnings
|
|
* Added build instructions for Linux (and similar systems) to README.md
|
|
* Updated stb_image and stb_vorbis
|
|
* Updated minizip (from zlib/contrib) to latest upstream code
|
|
* Added `in_namePressed` CVar to print currently pressed key/button (useful for binding keys
|
|
in the console or configs). Thanks *Biel Bestué de Luna*!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.5.2 (2022-06-13)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Gamma and Brightness are now applied in the shaders instead of by setting hardware gamma.
|
|
Can be disabled (so hardware gamma is used again) with `r_gammaInShaders 0`
|
|
* Improvements for (Windows-only) MFC-based tools:
|
|
- Added the script debugger! (thanks *HarrievG*!)
|
|
Original Doom3 didn't have it (Quake4 did), but the Doom3 GPL source contained
|
|
most of it. *HarrievG* implemented the missing parts and we added some new
|
|
features. It can even be used over the network and while the client part
|
|
(the debugger GUI) is Windows-only, the server can run on all supported
|
|
platforms, so you can debug a game running on Linux or macOS, for example.
|
|
Relevant CVars for network debugging are:
|
|
`com_enableDebuggerServer` and `com_dbgClientAdr` and `com_dbgServerAdr`.
|
|
To debug the running game on the same PC, just enter `debugger` in the console.
|
|
- All tools can now be built in 64bit (thanks *raynorpat*!)
|
|
- HighDPI support (thanks *HarrievG*!)
|
|
- PDAEditor works now
|
|
- Additional bugfixes
|
|
* Cycle through multiple Quicksave slots instead of immediately overwriting the last
|
|
Quicksave. The `com_numQuicksaves` CVar allows setting the number of QuickSaves (#392)
|
|
* Make r_locksurfaces work (#357)
|
|
It doesn't do exactly what its description and name suggests: it renders
|
|
everything that is *currently* visible from the position/view the player had
|
|
when setting `r_locksurfaces 1`. Originally it was supposed to render exactly
|
|
the surfaces that *were* visible then, but I couldn't get that to work.
|
|
This is pretty similar, but there may be differences with opened doors and such.
|
|
* Keyboard input improvements (mostly SDL2-only):
|
|
- Support (hopefully) all keyboard keys on all kinds of keyboard layouts
|
|
by using scancodes for otherwise unknown keys
|
|
- Support typing in non-ASCII characters, if supported by Doom3 (it supports ISO-8859-1)
|
|
- Support the clipboard also on non-Windows platforms
|
|
You can paste text from the clipboard into the console or other edit fields
|
|
with `Shift+Insert`
|
|
- Explicit support for Right Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys
|
|
(can be bound to different actions than their left counterparts)
|
|
- Added `in_grabKeyboard` CVar to make sure dhewm3 gets *all* keyboard input
|
|
Prevents the Windows-key or Alt-Tab or whatever from taking focus from the game
|
|
- Added `in_ignoreConsoleKey` - if set to `1`, the console is only opened with
|
|
Shift+Esc, and the "console key" (that key between Esc, 1 and Tab) can be freely
|
|
bound to an action (and its char can be typed in the console without closing it).
|
|
- Added (SDL2-only) "auto" option for `in_kbd`: When not disabling the console key,
|
|
dhewm3 will try to automatically detect it if `in_kbd` is set to "auto" (now default)
|
|
* Reworked mouse-input and -grabbing code, using absolute mouse mode in fullscreen GUIs
|
|
(except for the PDA, because it's implemented weirdly).
|
|
This made releasing the mouse in the main menu possible, as now the ingame cursor
|
|
is at the same position as the system cursor.
|
|
* `s_alReverbGain` CVar to reduce EFX reverb effect intensity (#365)
|
|
* Pause (looped) sounds when entering menu (#330)
|
|
* Fixes for looped sounds (#390)
|
|
* Replace libjpeg with stb_image and libogg/libvorbis(file) with stb_vorbis
|
|
- Now the only required external dependencies should be OpenAL, SDL, zlib
|
|
and optionally libCURL (and of course the C and C++ runtimes)
|
|
* (Optionally) use libbacktrace on non-Windows platforms for more useful
|
|
backtraces in case of crashes (usually linked statically)
|
|
* Fixed a deadlock (freeze) on Windows when printing messages from another thread
|
|
* Fixed endless loop (game locking up at startup) if graphics settings couldn't be applied (#386)
|
|
* Fixed some warnings and uninitialized variables (thanks *turol*!)
|
|
* Work around dmap bug caused by GCC using FMA "optimizations" (#147)
|
|
* Prevent dhewm3 from being run as root on Unix-like systems to improve security
|
|
* Replaced most usages of `strncpy()` with something safer to prevent buffer overflows
|
|
(remaining cases should be safe).
|
|
- Just a precaution, I don't know if any of them could actually be exploited,
|
|
but there were some compiler warnings in newer GCC versions.
|
|
* Console output is now logged to `dhewm3log.txt` (last log is renamed to `dhewm3log-old.txt`)
|
|
- On Windows it's in `My Documents/My Games/dhewm3/`
|
|
- On Mac it's in `$HOME/Library/Application Support/dhewm3/`
|
|
- On other Unix-like systems like Linux it's in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/dhewm3/`
|
|
(usually `$HOME/.local/share/dhewm3/`)
|
|
* Improved compatibility with Wayland (#426)
|
|
* Work around assertion in AlphaLabs4 due to "ride_of_death" yeeting
|
|
the dead "monster_zsec_shotgun_12" into the void (#409)
|
|
* Support loading some mods known to need `fs_game_base d3xp` via Mods menu
|
|
(currently, *The Lost Mission* and *LibreCoop d3xp* are supported)
|
|
* Disable assertion in idSampleDecoderLocal::DecodeOGG() that triggered
|
|
when starting a new Classic Doom3 game (#461)
|
|
|
|
1.5.1 (2021-03-14)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* The (Windows-only) integrated **editing tools** of Doom3 are back!
|
|
- They can only be built with non-Express versions of Visual Studio (tested
|
|
Community Editions of VS2013 and VS2017) and can be disabled via CMake
|
|
- Official dhewm3 Windows binaries are built with tools enabled, of course.
|
|
- Only supports 32bit builds, because in contrast to the rest of dhewm3's code,
|
|
the tool code is not 64bit compatible at all.
|
|
- Based on Code from the dhewm3 branch of SteelStorm2, thanks to *Motorsep* for donating that code!
|
|
- Has some bugfixes over the state in Doom3 1.3.1, like selecting a material
|
|
in the Particle Editor doesn't break the viewport of the game any more.
|
|
- Thanks to *Tommy Hanusa* for testing and reporting some issues (that were subsequently fixed)!
|
|
* Update savegame format (see #303 and #344)
|
|
- old savegames should still work, but new savegames can't be loaded with older versions of dhewm3!
|
|
* Uploaded updated builds of Mod DLLs (esp. Dentonmod should run a lot more stable now).
|
|
Added Mod DLLs of [LibreCoop](https://www.moddb.com/mods/librecoop-dhewm3-coop)
|
|
and [The Lost Mission](https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lost-mission).
|
|
See https://dhewm3.org/mods.html for more details.
|
|
* dhewm3 now supports the **Doom3 Demo** gamedata
|
|
- See [here](https://dhewm3.org/#using-the-doom3-demo-gamedata) for installation instructions
|
|
- This is based on *Gabriel Cuvillier's* code for [D3Wasm](http://www.continuation-labs.com/projects/d3wasm/),
|
|
which ports dhewm3 to web browsers, thanks!
|
|
* Create the game window on the display the cursor is currently on (when using more than one display)
|
|
* Added `r_fullscreenDesktop` CVar to set if fullscreen mode should be "classic"
|
|
or "Desktop" which means a borderless window at current desktop resolution
|
|
* Fullscreen modes that are not at the current desktop resolution should work better now
|
|
- including nvidia DSR / AMD VSR; for that you might have to use `dhewm3_notools.exe`,
|
|
as DSR/VSR seem to be incompatible with applications that use MFC
|
|
(the GUI framework used for the Doom3 tools like the D3Radiant)
|
|
* Several sound-related bugfixes:
|
|
- Lags in starting to play a sound which for example caused the machinegun or
|
|
plasmagun sounds to stutter have been eliminated (#141)
|
|
- Trying to reset disconnected OpenAL devices, this esp. helps with display audio
|
|
on Intel GPUs on Windows, when switching to fullscreen (#209)
|
|
- Looping .wav sounds with leadin now work (#291)
|
|
- The game still works if no sound devices are available at all (#292)
|
|
- Make "idSoundCache: error unloading data from OpenAL hardware buffer" a Warning
|
|
instead of an Error so it doesn't terminate game (by *Corey O'Connor*, #235)
|
|
* Restore "Carmack's Reverse" Z-Fail stencil shadows; use `glStencilOpSeparate()` if available
|
|
- That bloody patent finally expired last October: https://patents.google.com/patent/US6384822B1/en
|
|
- This neither seems to make a visual nor performance difference on any hardware
|
|
I tried (including Raspberry Pi 4), so this is mostly out of principle
|
|
- Based on Code by [*Leith Bade*](https://github.com/ljbade/doom3.gpl/commit/d4de024341e79e0ac1dfb54fb528859f8ccea605)
|
|
and [*Pat Raynor*](https://github.com/raynorpat/Doom3/blob/2933cb554587aea546c2df1fdf086204d4ca363d/neo/renderer/draw_stencilshadow.cpp#L147-L182).
|
|
- The `r_useCarmacksReverse` and `r_useStencilOpSeparate` CVars allow switching both things
|
|
on/off for comparison
|
|
* New CVar `g_hitEffect`: If set to `0`, the player camera damage effects (like double-vision and extreme tilt)
|
|
when being hit are disabled (by *dobosken*, #279).
|
|
* (On Windows) stdout.txt and stderr.txt are not saved next to the binary anymore,
|
|
but in `My Documents/My Games/dhewm3/`, like save games, because the binary dir
|
|
might not be writable and dhewm3 wouldn't start properly then
|
|
* Fix lingering messages in HUD after loading savegame
|
|
- Sometimes the "Game saved..." message didn't go away after loading a savegame
|
|
(when having saved while it still was showing from last save)
|
|
* Fixed clipping bug in delta1 which sometimes occured and made climbing some
|
|
ladders impossible (#328)
|
|
* Improve compatibility with some custom scripts
|
|
("t->c->value.argSize == func->parmTotal" Assertion; see #303)
|
|
* Registering multiplayer servers at id's master-server fixed, so they can be
|
|
found in the multiplayer menu (by *Stradex*, #293)
|
|
* Support for reproducible builds by setting the CMake option `REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD`.
|
|
* Should build on recent versions of macOS, also on Apple Silicon (thanks *Dave Nicolson* and *Petter Uvesten*).
|
|
* Proper handling of paths with dots in directory names (#299, #301)
|
|
- Some string functions that are intended to find/cut off/replace/... file extensions
|
|
did cut off the whole path at dots..
|
|
- Especially fixes loading and saving maps from such paths in the builtin D3Radiant level editor
|
|
* `idFileSystemLocal::ListMods()` doesn't search `/` or `C:\` anymore
|
|
(it did so if one of the paths, like `fs_cdpath`, was empty)
|
|
* Don't use translation in Autosave filenames (#305)
|
|
- In the Spanish translation all the Alpha Lab autosaves got the same name,
|
|
now the autosave name is based on the mapename instead which is distinct
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.5.0 (2018-12-15)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Support for some Mods via [custom SDK](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk):
|
|
Classic Doom3, Fitz Packerton, HardQore2, Denton's Enhanced Doom3 and Rivensin.
|
|
- See https://dhewm3.org/mods.html for more information.
|
|
- This has also broken backwards compatibility with 1.4.x game DLLs,
|
|
that's why this version will be 1.5.0 and not 1.4.2.
|
|
* Supports High DPI displays on Windows now
|
|
* Scale menus, fullscreen videos and the PDA to 4:3 (with black bars left/right) on
|
|
widescreen displays so they don't look stretched/distorted.
|
|
Can be disabled with `r_scaleMenusTo43 0`.
|
|
No, this unfortunately can't be done for the HUD (except for the crosshair),
|
|
because it also handles fullscreen effects (for example when receiving damage),
|
|
and those would look bad with black/empty bars on left/right.
|
|
* Commandline option to display some help on supported commandline arguments:
|
|
`-h` or `--help` or `-help` or `/?`
|
|
* ~~(Experimental) uncapped framerate, enable by entering `com_fixedTic -1`~~
|
|
~~in the console (can be set back with `com_fixedTic 0`).~~
|
|
(this turned out to be broken, see #261)
|
|
* Support for the AROS and OpenBSD operating systems
|
|
* Several bugfixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4.1 (2016-06-19)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Fixed some (kinda rare) crashes due to assertion errors, especially observed in the last
|
|
boss fights of both doom3 and the Resurrection of Evil Addon.
|
|
* Improved compatibility with AZERTY keyboards (the row of keys with 1...9, 0 is now usable)
|
|
* Fixed a crash (at least on FreeBSD) when loading Resurrection of Evil's last level
|
|
* Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
|
|
* Video resolutions in menu now sorted, added 2880x1800
|
|
* Support for up to 8 mouse buttons (on Linux this needs SDL2 2.0.4 or newer to work)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4.0 (2015-10-09)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first dhewm3 release. Changes compared to Doom3 1.3.1 as open sourced
|
|
on 2011-11-22 (most work done by *dhewg*):
|
|
|
|
* Use CMake as build system instead of Visual Studio and XCode solutions and SCons etc
|
|
* Replaced lots of platform-specific code with libSDL
|
|
* Use OpenAL as only soundbackend on all platforms (instead of only on Windows)
|
|
Ported EAX for sound effects to the cross-platform OpenAL EFX extension
|
|
* Made code 64bit compatible (except for Windows-only MFC-based tools, which were disabled
|
|
because no free or at least no-cost compiler with MFC support was available at the time)
|
|
* Also made it compatible with the MinGW compiler
|
|
* Write savegames, configs, screenshots etc in user-specific directories
|
|
instead of installation directory on all platforms
|
|
* Fixed lots of bugs and compiler warnings
|
|
* Removed support for binary .pk4's, only support loading .dll/.so/.dylib for
|
|
game-code (mods) directly
|
|
* Support (and automatically detect) arbitrary aspect ratios
|
|
* Support more resolutions, inject them into the settings menu
|
|
* Open ingame-console with Shift+Esc (=> works with all keyboard layouts)
|
|
* Most probably much more I forgot...
|
