2022

4.8.008e4676 (June 6)
Release thread

Highlights

  • added Raze-style HUD scaling. Not exposed in the menu yet, Set hud_oldscale to 0 and use shift with the screen resize keys to scale the status bar.
  • handle the start/endoom screens with the ingame renderer. They are now present on all platforms and use the full screen size of the game.
  • Many MBF21 fixes.
  • added the cutscene system from Raze

Details

  • the chat should use the console's scaling, not the one for the messages printed with the small font.
  • fixed auto-scaling for console.
  • removed all vid_fps offsetting. To compensate there is now also a "stat fps" which displays the FPS rate in the lower left corner. This had to go because unconditionally altering positions was causing problems with custom HUDs.
  • added Raze-style HUD scaling. Not exposed in the menu yet, Set hud_oldscale to 0 and use shift with the screen resize keys to scale the status bar.
  • added a few more names to the reserved names for main folder detection.
  • consider "fonts" and "models" reserved folder names.
  • fixed undefined behavior with Dehacked's value parser.
  • Rebuild nodes for 1024.wad MAP02 to fix invisible obstacle near the exit area

  • fixed: Vulkan descriptor sets must check the real translation, not just the translation ID.
  • handle the start/endoom screens with the ingame renderer.
  • Create a MainWindow class that manages the main win32 window of the application
  • Added Actor::LightLevel. Setting it to any value > -1 will override the sector's light level.
  • Implement virtual Actor.FallAndSink for scriptable falling and water physics
  • Added Actor.WaterDepth to retrieve how submerged and actor is, in map units
  • added cutscene data parser. This covers: game start, episode start, cluster start/end, level start/end.
  • MASTERNOSEE flag (#1601) Makes it so that if an actor's master is invisible due to camera/mirror/portal shenanigans, then the actor will also be invisible. Name based off of an Unreal Engine flag that does the exact same thing.
  • Made CanCrossLine opt-in by requiring the CROSSLINECHECK flag.
  • Added CanCrossLine virtual for actors.Called last after all other line checks occur. Returning false means the actor cannot cross that line.
  • Add WorldOffset field. Adjusts the thing's 3D position on render side. This allows for adjusting a thing's visual position without impacting their hitbox.
  • fix bad MP start spot in 1024.wad, MAP05
  • Enables shortcuts for option menus. Press a key to immediately jump to the next option menu entry which starts with this key. Hold Alt to jump backwards.

  • DontLightMap: The light doesn't affect the map.
  • Relative Includes for ZScript

  • exclude keys from ‚artifact‘ cheats
  • fixed MF_SHADOW handling for MBF21. This needs to alter the render style as well.

  • added JPEG YCCK decoding.
  • Added MF8_SEEFRIENDLYMONSTERS. Non-friendly monsters with this flag on will be able to attack friendly monsters on sight.
  • fixed mouse coordinate checks for Strife conversations. ypositions needs one entry per response, not one per line.
  • fixed radius of BossBrain actor
  • Added QF_3D flag for quakes. When used, the quake thinker will perform a 3D distance check instead of 2D.
  • removed compat_soundcutoff from the menu. Handling for this was removed 14 years ago when ZDoom transitioned to FModEx 4.x
  • add -compatmode for setting a compatibility mode on startup as a replacement for +compatmode not working as intended.
  • activate Hungarian in the menu

  • added missing BLOCKF_ flags for ZScript.
  • added ‚repeat‘ option to SetLineActivation ACS function
  • made friendlyseeblocks writable.

  • added Get/SetAmmoCapacity ZScript functions
  • expose the ‚attenuatelights‘ map flag.
  • added an option to delete a terrain type from a texture.

  • changed default value for midi_config to empty string since gus is not working with sf2 file
  • fixed SetupDMXGUS not loading lump correctly, wrong use of CheckNumForFullName
  • midi_config default to empty string, since lzdoom.sf2 doesn't seem supported (distorted sound)
  • added absolute paths to FZipPatReader so we can add custom patches to resource files by using gus_patchdir and/or ULTRADIR variable (some custom maps has custom patches that can be added this way without putting them inside the resource file or in the same folder of the configuration file)
  • set timidity_reverb_level min value to 0 in menudef.txt, set to 9 by mistake?
  • Added the MF8_DONTFOLLOWPLAYERS flag, which allows friendly monsters to not follow their FriendPlayer when they have no target or goal left to head to.

  • remove default lost soul translucency
  • Added 'ScaleWeaponFOV' flag to MODELDEF. Affects weapon models only; will scale the model along with the user's FOV to reduce distortion.
  • Additionally, a 'cl_scaleweaponfov' CVar has been added to allow users to further fine-tune the weapon model scale with higher FOVs
  • Terrain small splashes and splash bases now set their target to the thing that spawned them, allowing for extra customization.

  • add duplication checking to file list, prevent loading the same file twice unless explicitly asked by the user
  • initialize FSwitchDef::QuestPanel when reading a Boom SWITCHES lump.
  • added a 'no MBF21' compatibility flag. Turns out that there's a few old maps that have the extended line flags set but not the guard bit that forces their clearance. Astrostein 1's first map is an example for this.
  • Initialize some variables in FModelVertex::Set
  • Fix wrong normal vector in the FModelVertexBuffer constructor

4.9.0d993914 (November 5)
Release thread

Important note to Windows users:

GZDoom 4.9.0 changes where gzdoom.ini is stored. Unlike older versions this one will always prefer the system's user folder and place the INI in Documents/My Games/GZDoom if no INI is found. This was done to bring handling in line with current guidelines and to make it easier for commecial games that often get installed into a folder without write access. If you still want to store the INI in your game folder you have to create an empty file called GZDoom_portable.ini there before launching. If you still have an old INI in your folder, GZDoom will ask what to do with it, you can either move it to the user folder or convert to a portable install.

Change of savegame storage

This version introduces per-IWAD savegame folders. If you have old savegames you still intend to use, please wait with the update until you can safely delete them.

Highlights

  • added PARAM_NULLCHECK to the block iterator creation functions.
  • added [[noreturn]] to several functions that always throw exceptions.
  • Particle Rolling
  • Add Textured Particles
  • Add GFF_NOEXTCHANGE to Phasing Zorcher flash. The Plasma Rifle does not light the player's sprite, so we must assume the Phasing Zorcher also should not.
  • Fix HUD models not drawing if MODELDEF has been changed with A_ChangeModel
  • Fix inconsistent distance and hit position on traces that skip everything.
  • Fix canvas textures getting clipped by wrong scissor box
  • Fix vulkan backend clearing the canvas textures to undefined contents

  • fixed: R_LoadVoxelDef did not fully initialize the voxel descriptor it creates.
  • don't crash on null pointers in V_GetFont.
  • zero the velocity of crunched sprites. Since their size is zeroed, they are no longer subject to collision detection and may slide out of the level otherwise.
  • don't crash when destroying incomplete textures. This can happen during TEXTURES parsing in case of an error.
  • try to keep the engine stable for as long as possible if a VM exception occurs in OnDestroy while running a cleanup. This will still crash, but run long enough for the exception message to be visible.
  • fixed F2DDrawer::SetClipRect.
  • added vanilla donut handling to compat_floormove.
  • Fixed: voxel models pitch/roll properties weren't initialized correctly
  • Added QF_SHAKEONLY. The QF_SHAKEONLY flag changes the behavior of earthquakes with a damage radius, so that they only shake actors around, without also harming them.
  • Added QF_AFFECTACTORS. The QF_AFFECTACTORS flag makes the thrusting and harming of damaging earthquakes also affect monsters. Monsters with DONTTHRUST will not be flung around by earthquakes.
  • Added the QF_GROUNDONLY flag. The QF_GROUNDONLY flag makes earthquakes only shake the player while they are standing on the ground.
  • fixed DrawLine commands by giving them a consistent floating point interface.

  • let the "abort" button on the network pane of the startup screen do a hard exit on Windows.
  • make sure ticdup is initialized.
  • Add +ONLYVISIBLEINMIRRORS and +INVISIBLEINMIRRORS actor flags. The former makes the actor only visible in reflections, while the latter makes the actor not cast reflections in mirrors.

  • allow taking screenshots in cutscenes.
  • fixed JIT target function for GetTimeFrac.
  • fixed: For cutscenes the alternative clean scaling factors need to be activated.

  • GLES: Added IQM bone support.
  • SendConsoleEvent function for EventHandlers.
  • Future-proof particles by resetting them completely when replaced.

2023

4.11.0d07de08 (September 25)
Release thread

Highlights

  • Several new languages: Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Turkish.
  • Cleanup of Doom's and Chex Quest's small font to use proper character heights for international support.
  • Extended all fonts to be capable of handling all European languages which are in common use.
  • DoomWikiLogoIcon.pngDSDHacked support.
  • The build system was transitioned to optionally use MiniWikipediaLogoIcon.pngvcpkg, which allows building GZDoom on Windows by running a single batch file.
  • MiniWikipediaLogoIcon.pngWebP and MiniWikipediaLogoIcon.pngQOI support for textures.
  • Sanitized the light mode selection to make it a first class mapping feature by separating map dependent light mode setup from performance related user preferences for the default setting.
  • Linux: GTK startup now offers all the options of the Windows variant.
  • Lots of new ZScript features.

Bug fixes

Details

  • Changed the variable type of Crossed3DWater. Seems like there was some kind of oversight. Crossed3DWater is an F3DFloor pointer, not sector_t.
  • Add ZScript constants used by FallAndSink
  • Switch to miniz from zlib
  • fix for Genesis of Descent E1M2, which is impossible to complete on ITYTD/HNTR. I had to decompile the ACS script to figure out what was going on, basically at one point you get locked into a room and have to kill exactly 3 enemies with TID 215 for the door to unlock. One of these is a Baron tagged for only Medium and Hard, in his place is an Imp #1184 that has all the right script setups but is not set to appear on any difficulty. The fix is to simply have this imp appear on Easy.
  • fixed the overlapping sector handler in hw_fakeflat.cpp. This picked the wrong plane as the proper texture cutoff.
  • fixed: The UDMF loader did not adjust the floor/ceiling overlap state after processing UDMF sector plane properties.
  • fixed: EV_DoDonut checked the wrong compatibility variable and missed all map specified flags.
  • Fix gameinfo load from same directory as file containing gameinfo lump
  • validate partner seg index in LoadGLZSegs before using it
  • added compatibility handler for Phocas Island 2 MAP01.
  • fixed doublebind check with automap. For the automap C_DoKey gets called twice, once with the automap bindings and once with the regular bindings and doubleclicks.
  • clear the Dehacked string table after passing it to GStrings. For some reason std::move does not work here so make sure it won't stick around.
  • stop all cutscenes before the ENDOOM screen.
  • fixed: Boom's generalized crushers must stop 8 units above the floor. This required changing the special, so a new one was added to avoid altering Generic_Crusher.
  • Fix a very rare crash with complex Polyobjects
  • add support for not localizing some text functions, and modify menu text fields to use this
  • let Dehacked set the implicit missile flags.
  • fix ammo consumption of powered up Phoenix Rod.
  • add unexplored secret color for overlay automap to the menu
  • made all FileReader implementations 64 bit capable.
  • added a nomirrors compatibility handler and applied it to Conf256's CONF55 map. This is for disabling broken plane reflection setups.
  • When compat_floormove is enabled prevent sector floor from lowering if a thing is stuck in the ceiling (vanilla behavior)
  • fixed M_GetSavegamesPath for Linux.
  • Add Inventory::ModifyBob and Inventory::ModifyBob3D
  • Expose OF_Transient to actors as bNoSaveGame
  • add StartGameDirect function
  • fixed: MBF21's BOSS flag implies NORADIUSDMG.
  • fixed: For Dehacked, A_CPosAttack needs to use a hard coded attack sound. This discrepancy is ancient, so the approach used for the shotgunner does not work here and some hacks are needed to remap the function only for Dehacked.
  • implemented the remaining dynamic structures of dsdhacked
  • dsdhacked: Allow dynamic creation of new actors
  • dsdhacked: allow dynamic creation of new states.
  • add float.equal_epsilon and double.equal_epsilon
  • Allow building gzdoom with Vulkan with either X11 or Wayland WSI integration through CMake options
  • use stb-image for JPEG decoding because the old library provides no advantage over it.
  • Allow disabling colors for NameAllKeys
  • avoid high stack usage in anmtexture.cpp
  • added DSDA's passover/nopassover keys to the MAPINFO parser.
  • use a string pool to store all filenames and in the file system. this avoid lots of small allocations for data that will released in bulk later.
  • use the lump cache directly for FileData. This was the final puzzle piece to allow using memory mapped files in the future.
  • use better hash function in the file system. This is djb2 which is supposedly one of the best string hashing functions around.
  • rewrote dir CCMD using ScanDirectory and avoiding I_ChDir entirely.
  • use ScanDirectory in all places where the findfile API was used.
  • WebP image support
  • added safeguards against very early access to console variables in Cocoa backend
  • Add support for QOI image formats
  • block the centerview CCMD if the player has TOTALLYFROZEN. This is deliberately done this way, instead of placing the check inside PlayerPawn::CheckPitch, because there may be other situations where we don't want to block the centering function (APowerFlight::EndEffect being one such case)
  • replaced zstrformat with stb_sprintf.
  • A_Chase CHF_DONTLOOKALLAROUND
  • Add Weapon::ModifyBobLayer , Weapon::ModifyBobLayer3D and Weapon::ModifyBobPivotLayer3D
  • allow explicit casts between vectors of different underlying types
  • Fixed BlockingLine giving erroneous results
  • add CountSectorTags/CountSectorTags/CountLineIDs/GetLineID
  • Exported reflection functionality. Localized reflection code to a single function. Fixed an error where NOSHIELDREFLECT was being checked on the wrong Actor. Fixed an oversight where MIRRORREFLECT was checking for valid target despite not needing one.
  • Added ShadowAimFactor and ShadowPenaltyFactor. These properties allow to specify how much an actors' aim is degraded when shooting at a shadow actor. And how much the shadow actor itself affects the shooters' aim, respectively.
  • Added MF9_SHADOWAIMVERT. This flag causes the vertical aiming of monsters to also be affected when they aim at shadow actors.
  • Added MF9_SHADOWBLOCK. Actors in the line of fire with this flag trigger the MF_SHADOW aiming penalty. The shooter needs to have MF9_DOSHADOWBLOCK to check for actors with this flag.
  • Added MF9_SHADOWAIM. This flag allows actors with MF6_SEEINVISIBLE to still get an aim penalty by trying to shoot at a shadow actor.
  • Added damage property to earthquakes.
  • Added damage and thrust multipliers to quakes.
  • Added QF_DAMAGEFALLOFF. This flag makes it so that the damage and actor thrusting of earthquakes fades with distance like the screen shake effect does.
  • Added (XF/RADF)_CIRCULAR. This flag makes explosions use a spherical radius, instead of a cubic one. Only took almost 30 years.
  • Added (XF/RADF)_NOALLIES. This flag allows explosions to not harm any actors that are friendly to its' source.
  • Added (XF/RADF)_THRUSTLESS. This flag allows for explosions that do not thrust any of the actors caught in the blast.
  • Allow custom MessageBox menu selector
  • Individual Joystick Enable/Disable Toggles
  • add QualifiedName to VMFunction and allocate these static names from the class data memory arena instead of using FStrings.
  • null pointer type checks in the VM added to avoid crash on bad codegen.
  • Expanded Service's Get<Type> functions to pass in `name` parameter.
  • Added GetName(UI/Data) to Service class.
  • make all legacy light modes except 'Doom' and the software rendering emulation MAPINFO only. A CVAR still exists for testing but its value won't be saved to the config.
  • MAPINFO can not enforce any of the two software light modes, as low end users require the option to change this to the 'performance' setting.
  • changed lightmode menu options: user can only select between "performance', 'software' and 'vanilla'. 'performance' is the old 'Doom' mode which is still needed to speed things up on low end hardware.
  • fix the ammocount parameter in Weapon.CheckAmmo
  • fix UMAPINFO boss action clearing. This did not handle the case where the actions were cleared without adding new ones and also did not clear the MBF21 boss action flags.
  • remove memory leak in `A_ChangeModel`
  • made some changes to vectors.h so that it can be used without the floating point function replacements.
  • Add Voodoo Zombie Compatflag
  • remove `vid_gpuswitch` and all its handling; it is only as of now useful in old versions of Windows 7/8/10 which are no longer supported
  • added `MaxEffectTics` field to `Powerup`
  • adapted font system to properly handle Turkish. Those i's are really messy, especially when dealing with allcaps or pure lowercase fonts.
  • made D_WriteUserInfoStrings memory safe.
  • Fix TArray allocating 0 bytes in constructor
  • Add dynamic lights to software slope drawer
  • use uniform buffers for dynamic lights everywhere. Branching on SSBO content does not work that well on NVidia so it is better disabled. So far only implemented for OpenGL Vulkan needs more work.
  • Fix Software Slope Rendering for non-1.2 pixel ratios
  • add the flags MINVISIBLE and MVISBLOCKED
  • Extend pseudo-generics system used by maps to dynarrays
  • add RedirectCVAR directive for loading alternate maps based on a Bool CVAR setting
  • Fixes bones when using OpenGL 3.3 (UBO bone data)
  • validate the buffer size in HWViewpointBuffer::Set2D.
  • Fixed a bug where calling an invalid virtual function would cause a crash.
  • Add cvars to sprite shadows progressively according to thing <-> floor distance
  • Added OnEngineInitialize() for static event handlers
  • cleanup of the Doom and Chex Quest small fonts' discritical characters
  • Implement antialiasing for automap lines
  • Map::GetIfExists and Map::CheckValue
  • Fixed global TerrainDef array not being exported correctly
  • alt HUD: use `NewSmallFont` for drawing player's coordinates if `ui_generic` is enabled
  • Increase slider precision for mouse sensitivity settings
  • Use a slider to allow specifying max FPS with more precision
  • Check all ACS functions for minimum number of arguments.
  • Fixed SpawnForced not respecting the minimum declared in zspecial.acs. (https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=77027)
  • Exported LinePortals to ZScript
  • cleaned up the pitch management in the sound backend. This now treats all pitch methods equally instead of the preferential treatment of Doom's original pitch hack. Most importantly, the sound channel now stores the pitch as a floating point value instead of 9.7 fixed point.
  • snd_pitched now also gets checked in the sound engine, not the low level interface.
  • Fix Y position of characters in monospace fonts
  • Added all of the missing player cheats to the SetPlayerProperty special.
  • Added APROP_WaterDepth.
  • Converted A_Quake(Ex) intensity parameters from ints to doubles.
  • Add missing error for mapinfo tonemap
  • Add Tonemap support for Unclamped lighting mode
  • Add Alternate Light Blending Options
  • gldefs: update Freedoom definitions.
  • CCMD listmaps: Colorize maps loaded from pwads in blue text
  • Fix MapIterator<X, String>::GetValue
  • Fixed a bug where static events would fail to halt propagation.
  • Fix diffuse-only material shaders not applying.
  • Add sv_noplayerclip to allow players to walk through and shoot each other (only in coop)
  • optimized sheet font texture generation. Instead of reloading the base image over and over again, let's cache it so that less time is needed for each single character.
  • changed CreatePalettedPixels to allow return of static pixel data without reallocation and copying.
  • fixed buffer size checks for raw textures.
  • Prevent important messages from being accidentally filtered.
  • Updated the WOPN banks collection
  • Added FlyBob Multiplier for Player
  • Added WaterClimbSpeed Property to Players
  • Fixed custom screen height and width not saving.
  • Additional lock-related ZScript functions.
  • Key.IsLockDefined: returns whether a lock number is valid (can be unlocked) or belongs to a "does not work" door.
  • Key.GetMapColorForLock: returns the automap color for a lock number (or -1 if the lock isn't valid).
  • Key.GetMapColorForKey: likewise, but for a specific key.
  • Fix FxMultiAssignDecl type
  • fix OpenGL ES selection on the windows startup dialog
  • Multi-Assign Declarations
  • Fixed the ACS PLAYERINFO_FVIEWBOB to be a bool instead of a double.
  • Add vulkan pipeline cache
  • Update and clean up UE1 model loader.
  • Expose StripLeft and StripLeftRight to ZScript
  • Fix StripLeftRight
  • Error out instead of crashing for vector out variables
