Homeward
<div id="bridgedd"> <div class="excerpt-title">This is a blog excerpt. <a href="http://dengine.net/blog/2016/01/homeward/" target="_blank">Read Full Article</a> </div> <br /> <p>With the 3D model renderer in reasonably good shape so that new models can be worked on, I'm now pushing toward building the front-end's central features into the Home screen: selecting PWADs and other resources to use when playing a game.</p>
<p>The main feature I was working on last week was a new way of handling classic data files such as WADs, PK3s, DEDs, and DEHs. The engine is now able to recognize these files and treat them as Doomsday 2 packages internally. Additionally, I've added a small database of known files (such as the vanilla IWADs) that are further identified as packages with very specific IDs and versions.<br /> </div>
